i wanted to update to 12.04 and after this i reboot the system choose the new kernel
ok 1 sec
bekks, was, he said he is not running that kernel
Mulder911  type ps -e|less <-- which has number 88 ?
XiaolinDraconis, Is that what is on the usb, you want it clean to start with, no hidden trash with stuff in it either.
pepee: Then how can we investigate what is causing that error...?
I suppose it means, the PID will not necessarily be the same
bekks, reading the logs, it should say what process was this
wilee-nilee, no thats my home directory, but its not the problem as mini.iso loads just fine, i think its not mounting cause its on another partition that is mounted as well
bekks, at least that's what a bit of googling shows
on this kernel i don`t see pid88
google  "/proc/*/oom_adj is deprecated, please use /proc/*/oom_score_adj"
XiaolinDraconis, Drag it to your desktop and mount it there.
Mulder911, in a terminal, type:   grep -n "oom_adj is deprecated" /var/log/*
wilee-nilee, that was my thoughts as well
/var/log/kern.log:751:Oct 31 00:46:10 bt kernel: [    1.631658] udevd (92): /proc/92/oom_adj is deprecated, please use /proc/92/oom_score_adj instead.
wilee-nilee, that failed as well
XiaolinDraconis, I always reformat the usb as well each time to be sure it is clean, if I do a load this way.
wilee-nilee, the usb is freshly formatted
XiaolinDraconis, So what is the actual failure?
Mulder911: So which process is PID 92?
wilee-nilee, the iso wont mount
wilee-nilee, opening it with archive manager and can see the contents from there
Mulder911, in the terminal, type:   grep -n "Linux version" /var/log/kern.log
bekks, PID 92
XiaolinDraconis, Not even with a right click on it then clicking on open with archive mounter
bekks, PID 92 is udevd

wilee-nilee, thats how ive been trying to do it, atm i have it open in archive manager
XiaolinDraconis, Do you se all the files?
wilee-nilee, as far as i can tell i do, have had a problem opening any of the folders
XiaolinDraconis, If you see all the files like I posted, the the exstract should run it just takes a bit to do it I just ran it, about 8-1o min I think.
wilee-nilee, trying it again
Mulder911, try upgrating now and see it if installs a new kernel, I suppose this should solve it
so upgrade one more time
Mulder911, yes. AFAIK 3.2.6 is not the latest kernel in 12.04.1
ok
i`ll try
wilee-nilee, of course this time it finishes in 40 seconds
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
Which will not upgrade the kernel.
bekks, what's the current kernel in 12.04?
i`m upgrading with kpackagekit
pepee: No 12.04 handy here, maybe you can take alook at packages.ubuntu.com
bekks, why do you say it will not upgrade the kernel?
pepee: Because thats the truth. apt-get will keep back kernel packages. You have to update them explicitely.
XiaolinDraconis, What I have found with the W7 ISO is that it is locked unless mounted that is probably why, I'm not sure of other ways to mount it, I have been using the usb loader I posted for a coulple of years now and have not had to do it this way. I know it works though has everytime I did in the past. YOu might just install the multisystem loader and use it
wilee-nilee, i hope this works, ive got 2 hours to try and get my girls laptop back to working condition. i thought gparted was still simulating and hit cancel, man was i wrong
bekks, dist-upgrade does that for you
pepee: Yes, and we were talking about apt-get upgrade ;)
but... 3.2.6 is not from the repos, is it?
The 12.04 kernel version is 3.2.0-xyz
XiaolinDraconis, Hehe not the person to disappoint. ;)
pepee: Nope, it isnt.
bekks, I was talking about upgrade, generically. I always use dist-upgrade, so I don't know much about other package managers
wilee-nilee, yeah specially not after shes been at work most of the day while i get to sit around the house
XiaolinDraconis, hehe you are in deep dodo now. ;)
wilee-nilee, unless magic happens and the next 2 hours go flawlessly (never in my lifetime)
XiaolinDraconis, I clone all my installs, you might do this after you are setup with clonezilla.
wilee-nilee, clonezilla is what ruined my windows installation in the first place
XiaolinDraconis, If I remember you cloned it to a ext4 right?
how can i use a .htaccess for my phpmyadmin directory ?
i tried enabling override all in /etc/phpmyadmin/apache.conf
didnt help
wilee-nilee, and then did it again (hadnt deleted the original partition yet) on a fresh ntfs partition
i tried a bunch of other stuff which didn't help
and now i kindof gave up and figured i'd ask on IRC
wilee-nilee, which is when i was told to delete the original because it kept booting that instead of the new one
firefox version 16.0.2 always ask for zip code on google shop and ebay how to save my zip ????
wilee-nilee, only to find out the new one failed to boot cause it wasnt in the same location
hi i am trying to set up a dhcpd and i have become a little lost i think i have one running but no idea which one it is and no matter what i do the windows box on the other end of the wire seems to get an ip of 192.168.0.20 how can i work out where its getting it from ?
XiaolinDraconis, I have never had clonezilla fail, but I follow some rules, I have the windows fully defragged to the front of the disc and make sure in general it is good shape by running a chkdsk every so often on it
Hi, i need a little hand to help me get back system sound on ubuntu 11.10, can anyone help me? After i tried to install google gadgets, my sound device doesnt work correctly
XiaolinDraconis, Lots of other cloners though.
wilee-nilee, as far as i know windows checks to make sure the hardware hasnt changed and when it detects a major change it requires re-activation
wilee-nilee, all my old discs ended up getting trashed when i moved
how do i make ubuntu into its own proxy
hi, i use phpmyadmin on ubuntu 12.04, and i want to use a .htaccess in my phpmyadmin dir, but it doesn't seem to work, i set AllowOverride All for the dir in /etc/phpmyadmin/apache.conf
Why i cant access sound configuration on my Ubuntu 11.10?!?
XiaolinDraconis, That is in system changes if the update reading is really far off I have only seen that one time with a XP setup. I have W7 pro and it has unlimited images that can be made although it will overwrite the last one if saved in the same place. I don't really use windows much, but I keep it squeaky clean with bleachbit and defragging and some other apps to have it in good shape and I have no problem just throwing in a fresh install o
nce in awhile.
wilee-nilee, right but i was attempting to move it to a new hard drive, ive never been able to do that without having to use the rescue disc afterwards
anyone?
wilee-nilee, im seeing lots of topics online where several people have done it, sadly its not been my luck
XiaolinDraconis, You will need the recovery if the mbr is not saved, clonezilla saves the mbr, that is why I like it.
If the mbr has grub there though you will need to reload it if the linux install is not included.
wilee-nilee, it wasnt on the first partition, the mbr was over-written by grub.
wilee-nilee, and somehow i just ran out of space on a 4GB drive, told ya luck isnt in my bag of tricks
wilee-nilee, nautilus tells me i got 1GB left on the drive.... GRRRR
XiaolinDraconis, Did you show the hidden files and makes sure there was nothing there, if you were finally loading it with the ISO?
wilee-nilee, i was copying files from the extracted directory, one file said something about no space left on the disk, splicing error or something
wilee-nilee, im formating it to fat32 now and gonna try the multiboot tool
XiaolinDraconis, cool good luck the windows will be in the grub4 choice of the grub menu I believe, you have to look for it
any idea how to install create ubuntu on sofware raid and LVM
nobody that ever did this? :s
with that usb loader it does not just show in the main grub menu you will see. XiaolinDraconis
hi, i use phpmyadmin on ubuntu 12.04, and i want to use a .htaccess in my phpmyadmin dir, but it doesn't seem to work, i set AllowOverride All for the dir in /etc/phpmyadmin/apache.conf
i also tried to change /etc/apache2/sites-available/default
didn't work either
i wasted almost 2 hours on this idiotic little problem
pepee?
wilee-nilee, thanks for the heads up, and more bad luck coming my way, the device didnt show properly in gparted, so i chose to create a new msdos partition table, and its taking a long time
Mulder911,
is it possible that after upgrading ,starting system for the first time is going much slower?
what's the proper way to update apache to 2.2.23?  the newest in repos is 2.2.22.
Mulder911: did you change release?
d1gital: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade
d1gital: or you may find a PPA
i upgrade again but it was this same
but i found log
Mulder911: same release or did you change release (Precise to Quantal for example0?
Mulder911, could be, yes. by the way, where did you get that kernel, Mulder911 ?
i`m on the 2.6 at the moment which is working
Mulder911: what video chip  do you use?
radeon 6850
Mulder911: with proprietary video driver?
wait i tell you where is the problem again
Mulder911: did you upgrade from Lucid to Precise by any chance?
no response here and none in #phpmyadmin either :s
am i really going to have to remove phpmyadmin because of this annoying problem? :s
SillyTalker: what is the issue?
hi, i use phpmyadmin on ubuntu 12.04, and i want to use a .htaccess in my phpmyadmin dir, but it doesn't seem to work, i set AllowOverride All for the dir in /etc/phpmyadmin/apache.conf
ActionParsnip:
SillyTalker, ask in #apache ?
pepee: i'll try thanks
SillyTalker, there are lots of web-dev related channels
i had sys with 2.6.32.44 kernel and after upgrading system made me another 3.2.6
Mulder911: so you upgraded Lucid to Precise? yes?
Mulder911, that's strange, ubuntu doesn't have 3.2.6 as far as I know
it`s Backtrack distro
Mulder911: 3.2.6 is a BackTrack kernel, Backtrack isn't supported here
Mulder911: ask in #backtrack-linux
ok
thx
hi, I have ubuntu 12.04 and I installed wine 1.5 to use spss19, the application appears, but i can not open it with linux or wine
what can i do?
nothing
ana_: did you check the appdb for compatibility?
nope
what is that?
ana_: search, you'll find it
might want to learn winetricks as well
where can i find it?
google
ana_: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=appdb   too hard?
i'm just begging with ubuntu
ana_: even the simplest search gives the result
is there any way to tell apt-get to use just 1 download thread?
ana_: yes but II'm VERY sure you have used the web to find out new stuff, yes?
ah yeah
sorry
ana_: so why stop now?
i'll look for it
ana_: instead of immediately asking 'what's that' try a little searching using the advise given
is there way to clsoe off a session of a dvd+r burn that didn't get closed off originally
ok i'm getting rid of phpmyadmin
SillyTalker: what's the problem with it?
talk to you guys later
kisuke: think is apt-get download name
somsip: can't seem to protect it's dir that's all
with a .htaccess
SillyTalker: its hardly crucia
ActionParsnip: phpmyadmin in general is not crucial so
SillyTalker: what have you done to try to achieve that?
SillyTalker: or if you've decided to dump it...fair enough
somsip: nothing i jsut want it as an extra layer
yeah i've been messing with it for 2 hours
SillyTalker: you can connect via SSH and run SQL commands there :)
it's not worth that
thanks for tryign to help anyway
SillyTalker: ok
Q:  I have Ubuntu 12.04.  I installed KDE plasma desktop using software center.  When in KDE, my VPN doesn't work
ActionParsnip: i know lol
SillyTalker: is there no PPA for it?
Hello, I've got a 16gb usb drive, i'm trying to make a casper-rw partition that is ~15gig and use that for persistance, rather than the fat32 4gb allocation.. I managed to make a seperate partition that was 15gb, and i had lots of space during the instance, but nothing persisted, did i miss a flag?
not that i saw no
SillyTalker: the SSH will be secure too
SillyTalker: if you want help, just let me know. Probably OT so msg may be better
somsip, ok maybe later i'm just gonna take a break now
can any one help me set up dhcpd on 12.04 ?
thanks for the effort
SillyTalker: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+ppas?name_filter=phpmyadmin
talk to you guys later
oh
SillyTalker: seems there is a PPA
* SillyTalker clicks
ooooh
i thought you meant a post on it
about my prob
SillyTalker: that page is THE search ngine for PPAs........
it's not worth posting for this it's just me being stupid most likely
well i'm not going to add a ppa
it's just me beign stupid lol
anyway talk to you later
i really need a break
thanks for trying to help
Is there no 32 bit release of Ubuntu Server 12.10?
Gerowen: sure
ok
thank u for ur kind help
Gerowen, http://releases.ubuntu.com/12.10/
Gerowen: I'd go for Precise for a server, its LTS wheras Quantal isn't
+1 on precise
ana_, #winehq
ActionParsnip: I was considering that as well.  My old server desktop has kicked the bucket.  It will run for about 5 minutes, then the screen will go blank and the CPU fan will just start racing.  It was forgetting CMOS settings so I replaced the CMOS battery, but it's still doing it and the only other spare computer I have to turn into a replacement server only has a 32 bit processor.
Gerowen: have you tested RAM? Have you cleared the fans?
ActionParsnip: Haven't tested RAM, but it was fine before, I'll do that though.  The inside is emaculate though, I took it apart and did a good job cleaning it about once a month.
Gerowen: New Thermal grease?
Hello, i'm creating a Live USB drive on a 16gb drive, i'm trying to create a casper-rw partition (ext2) that is 15gb.  Is there anything I have to do to have the Ubuntu install use the casper-rw partition over the casper-rw file?
Gerowen, check temps, test memory, check disks, etc
Gerowen: thats good, check the RAM so you know its ok
vfw: Thought of that as well, especially since every couple of months I'd remove the heatsink and brush it out really good, and the thermal paste is wearing pretty thin.  It could any of a hundred things.
I have a problem with vsync/tearing. I'm using Ubuntu 12.10, nvidia-current-updates driver, unity, and have 2 monitors. Main monitor is in portrait mode 1920x1200, second monitor is in portrait mode 1080x1920. There is only tearing on my main monitor, not on second. I've tried portrait portrait, portrait landscape, and landscape landscape, no vsync issuse on any of those configs. The tearing is only when in landscape portrait m
ode, and only on main monitor. Any ideas?
Hi, I'm getting a low space warning and I haven't saved any big file afaik, help?
avelldiroll, I'd ask in ##linux too
It says that the device "Root filesystem" has only 800 MB free, then it said 500 something, now it says 20,5 kb
Elesa, df -h
now only 8,0 kb
._.
Elesa, could it be temporal files and browsers cache?
perhaps..
I'm going to delete everything in /tmp
Nope.
are you watching videos in youtube?
Gerowen: Thermal grease should be replaced each time the heat sink is taken off and put back on.
Elesa: Please pastebin the output of "df -h"
I am, I also recorded something with recordMyDesktop
http://paste.ubuntu.com/1322320/
what are the cpu hardware requirements for 12.10?  will a 3800+ 3gb do well?
anyone know anything about ubuntu on arm? got a gs3 i want to install into
what's 3800+
amd ahtlon64
instantp10neer: amd?
2.0ghz
yes
Elesa: run: sudo apt-get clean   and pastebin df -h again please
Ok.
it is very slow with 1gb and i want to know if a ram upgrade will fix the performance or will it require an alternate cpu?
Athlon 64 X2 3800+ would be fine
for x64?
instantp10neer, yes you have more than enough  to run 12.10~
Elesa: It's not your /home partition that is full, it is /
it is very slow at 1gb of ram
well, open a terminal, and type free -m, then paste to pastebin and link us
is that normal?
hi
yeah but I haven't installed any program that heavy besides recordMyDesktop and I had much more space some minutes ago
it could be several things instantp10neer, we need to quantify that
darmok and jalad at tanagra
Elesa: So what do you have installed?  Its 19G which SHOULD be enough.
recordmydesktop can keep going, and will take up lots of space if it does Elesa
instantp10neer, only 1GB ram?    might be just barely enough     do you have swap partition as well?
Elesa: Did you run recordmydesktop as root?
snark, ubuntu runs fine with far less; try 128-256MB
umm, nope
can any one help me set up dhcpd ?
http://paste.ubuntu.com/1322326/
u4and     maybe if your not using X :P
shaka when the walls fell
heh
no swap
Elspuddy-: cd / ; ls -lS |grep ^d   <will show directories sorted by size>
Elesa: sudo du -sch /tmp /var
er spose that worx too
instantp10neer: you could switch to LXDE and the desktop will use less RAM
i have a 2gb ram upgrade inc
no trouble if the cpu suffices
yeah i saw those poor ram dude in TRON
^
Elesa,   your root partition is completely full   ie   100%  full   according to your patbin info
Elesa: lsb_release -a
Elesa, try removing temporal files from your browsers
http://paste.ubuntu.com/1322332/
Elesa,   your root partition is completely full   ie   100%  full   according to your paste*bin info
pepee: That will not help at all, because / is full, not /home
Elesa: can you pastebin the output of:  uname -a; dpkg -l | grep linux-image
ah yeah bekks , didn't see that
That's the output of sudo du -sch /tmp /var
so /tmp is full, must be recordMyDesktop's fault?
Elesa, to pastebin :  ps axuf
it will show a large list
Anybody have any success getting cheese to even run?
Rootbrian: many do
Tried doing: apt-get clean ?
Danke Schoen
Downloaded debs get held onto a lot of the time.
For me, cheese doesn't run in 12.04 or 12.10.
will c u tomorrow am :)
Rootbrian: if you run it in terminal, the output will give clues
Rootbrian, are you using kde?
ActionParsnip, http://paste.ubuntu.com/1322337/
I'm at starbucks, away from my desktop and in here using jmirc.
Elspuddy-: That is quite possible.  cd /tmp/ ; ls -lS |grep ^d
Elesa: cd / ; ls -lS |grep ^d   <will show directories sorted by size>
It's the standard ubuntu with unity, but I run fluxbox or the 2D gnome panel.
save water, shower with your girlfriend
yeah /tmp is 9GB :c
Elesa: you may want to reboot to the newer kernel, then remove the other 2 kernels. You will get about 240Mb back
Elesa: cd /tmp/ ; du -s * | sort -n    <will list by file sizes, largest last>
Elesa, to pastebin, please :  ps axuf
cd /tmp/
oops lol
Once I arrive home, I'll get some pastes going for cheese in both, maybe then the developers can correct it, or canonical can issue a fix to get it working.
brb
That aside, I'm loving the fact that 12.10 actually works on my ages old compaq evo desktop.
So im having trouble resolving a host name of a different computer. if i ping <hostname> it wont resolve
Rootbrian: the required hardware isn't very dfferent between releases
krunal: How about it's IP address?
Krunal did you try connecting directly to the cable or dsl modem?
krunal: can you ping the IP?
vfw, IP address works
just not computer name
krunal: will the IP ever change?
krunal, checked /etc/resolv.conf ?
krunal: It's an issue with the router.
It's assigned by my router ...not static but it coud change
krunal: is the system's IP and name in the DHCP clients table?
let me check
It's funny how 12.04 will turn my screen into a colorful blockaide full of pixels when resuming from standby. Instant kernel panic. Haven't tried 12.10 yet and I'm anxious to see if it successfully "resumes" when I get home.
actionparsnip: it does show in my table
krunal: Just use IP addresses
Funny how ip addresses work instead of host names.
vfw, do i have to?
Yeah i know right
windows doesn't have this issue
btw windows 8 blows
Router issues do plague me sometimes. Had to reboot mine twice and then it locked up due to DSL actually being down, cold boot fixed it.
rootbrian: thats the lysergic expression of the inner heart from your computer, thats why its so colorful
Hitting that windows key + E will launch explorer, and clear that awful "start" screen menu.
lsd   yum yum!
DarmOk it's a great wallpaper. I'm going to snap a picture of it next time.
For those who suggested checking the RAM, I ran Memtest from the server install disc and after a few minutes I had a bunch of red on the screen, so I've re-seated my RAM and am running the test again.  Apparently the issue was bad RAM.
Though I'll need the tripod to ensure it's not blurry to get an amazing 16mp shot of it.
If I want to put /tmp into RAM do I use
none /tmp tmpfs defaults 0 0
or
tmpfs /tmp tmpfs defaults,noatime,mode=1777,nosuid 0 0
hai hai, FloodBot1
tmp in ram no
that SUCKS!
Why?
As if bad ram wasn't bad enough, another of my computers I set up for my parents (xubuntu on it), it has 1.5 GB and it's mismatched with different speeds, but it runs fine. BIOS always complains each time.
use graphics mem instead
Hemebond: like this - tmpfs 		/tmp		tmpfs 	defaults,mode=1777,size=2g 		0 	0
krunal: I use a DD-WRT routers.  I set all of the PCs I need to access to static IPs and with corresponding host names in the router's config.  I use host-names that are short and make sense to me. easy-peasy
Hemebond: weird chars are tabs...
somsip: Thanks. If the first line no longer accurate?
Hemebond: not sure what you mean?
It apparently worked fine, so I'm wondering why the difference.
tempfs in mem, thats insane, the system just uses more swap
The first line uses filesystem none
Hemebond: no idea. That's what's ion mine and it's fine
somsip: Cool, thank you.
Darm0k: Why?
Hemebond: np
Anybody good with wirless lan cards? I am having trouble getting mine to connect to WPA2 internet connections.. Im running xubuntu on a IBM ThinkPad T41
wilee-nilee, ur a genius, that multisystem is pretty powerful
use temp on another free disk or clean up disk space
tricks or treats ?
Darm0k, unless you don't have swap mem, and have lots of RAM
because you throw away memory
XiaolinDraconis, It is a keeper for sure. ;)
hfb: What seems to be the trouble?  NetworkManager not doing the job?
not anyone has 16 or 32gb machines
Darm0k: tmpfs grows to use what it needs. If there is 40MB in /tmp, only 40MB is used. And it depends a lot on how much RAM is in the PC
I have 16GiB of RAM.
i have 1.21 Jiggawatts of Power
for those of us that has 1GB of ram, that wouldn't work.
hfb: Why don't you start by telling us what wireless card it is?  (What does lspci say about it?)
Rootbrian: it isn't a recommendation for everyone
Darm0k, that doesn't translate to RAM
you need to download it
pepee: no clue, ask dr doolittle
somsip I know. :)
dr doolittle knows much about ram
hi all, im on 12.10 and empathy wont save nickserv password. how are you guys fixing that
nOStahl, By using hexchat
lspci?
Chatzilla is a firefox addon, it saves passwords. I recommend it.
nOStahl: That is an issue between IRC and your Client app.
vfw its an ubuntu issue as they chose to package it :)
I believe pidgin works with IRC.
that said, ive not had any issues with empathy for the years i've been using it.
nOStahl: If you use irssi, see http://irssi.org/documentation
i use xchat, but i don't know why
try irssi
Reasons being, I'm skipping 12.10. The LTS is better suited. ;)
bit of a wait for the next lts
I'm fine with waiting. As long as 12.04 is good and I can deal with a non-functioning cheese, I'm cool.
cheese works for me on 12.04
nOStahl: Yea, it's almost time to upgrade, but not yet.... IMHO
Mine gets the crash message from apport all the time and never runs.
Maybe it hates the 12 year old computer I love.
Rootbrian, 12 year old eh   what is a 386?
nOStahl: Rootbrian (...from 10.04 to 12.04 ...)
snark, he said his computer is 12 years old. You must be 12.
p4, 3.06 GHz, 533MHz FSB, 1GB SD DDR RAM @ 133 Mhz
jagginess, you must be unable to read
Rootbrian, that sure is quite outta date :).. upgrade!
snark: Amazing observation abilities
it's faster than most dual/quad cores. :D
snark, sarcasm double fails.. go take a hike punk.
jagginess, and snark thats enough
jagginess: Amazing lack of humor
vfw, you too
i'm not trying to be funny.. his computer is pretty old
lets move on please
it suits my needs.
Rootbrian, you definitely would bump into problems, what would help is if you have a good video card (but its not worth buying one for that machine)
very childish :d
Move on and have fun.
Mine is an ATI 4650 HD
Good video card, but ati hates it. :P
Rootbrian, that can help.. it's worth a shot i guess
1GB GDDR2, 400MHz GPU.
did they fix the freezing after sleep for laptops in 12.10 ?
now if graphics ram could be used to supplement system memory, that gives me 2GB.
fusk: Depends on how much RAM you have.
Fsck mine freezes after waking up.
*fusk
vfw, 1gb
graphic mem could be used for it
Same on my pc, 1GB.
fusk: *swap*  I meant to say swap nor RAM  1G of RAM is a bit low.
vesafb
I don't know where the heck I could get a 1GB SD DDR 133MHz memory module. PC2100 by the way.
vfw, don't know how much swap, default i guess. It is a netbook, that's why 1gb.
Rootbrian: ebay
rootbrian: emeow?
ameowzone?
Tigerdirect only has 512MB sticks. My system has two slots with 2x 512
fusk: sudo fdisk -l
anybody know how I can set 3-finger-tap as middle click? (Or even better, 2-finger and 3-finger for right-click)?
fusk: sudo fdisk -l |pastebinit #And send us the resulting URL, (if you want us to see).
Ebay only has compaq evo desktops. All sold out I believe.

rode?
Rootbrian, it's not worth upgrading anything on a 12 year old computer.. It's better to buy a new system
Not worth buying another desktop of the same or less specs of mine and including the shipping costs. Yikes.
ok
Rootbrian, tigerdirect.com and click buy
I agree. I'm sticking it out until it blows out
jagginess, as long as you run linux on it it should be fine
That whole "secure boot" thing on newer windows 7/8 pc's, forget it. It won't work with linux.
secure boot / uefi works on linux
hfb: See my PM
Okay, good.
secure boot is not all enforced, it can be turned off, and linux can install on these new motherboards. nice assumption though, a couple of us are laughing.. linux has been installed on these systems.
Alright. That assured me more. The source and others say it won't work.
(and btw, canonical has a key for secure boot as well for ubuntu in case you didnt know, thanks canonical)
Oh man, that rocks!
oh get out Rootbrian.. you're trolling.
But disabling secure boot is a must.
I got this info from the free software foundation. I was only going by what I read.
secure boot / uefi works on linux, grub has support them
I guess they need to update their records?
Anyways, I gotta get out of this starbucks. waited for somebody to show up and they're a no-show.
what a starbucker
when using ubuntu my fans go crazy. Is there a solution
deihmos, why become crazy ?
ubuntu makes it go crazy
very loud
envy 17 with i7 processor
i7-2760qm 2.4ghz
probably something new in 12.10, there is a newer kernel 3.5, maybe a module needs to be loaded (speedstep maybe?)
deihmos, sorry, i can't reconfigure your crazineess .... You just told make crazy, but not was happen ...very subjective
is 12.04.1 different from 12.04 ?
vlanx, different with updates included
i said they are very loud. meaning they spin at max speed in ubuntu
blackshirt: 3.5 kernel?
anyone else have youtube videos end at around 90% on ubuntu 12.10?
my ubuntu just made one "bip" and I don't know why, ideas?
vlanx, the bare bone was same
vfw, http://pastebin.com/BSMNEehG
vlanx, maybe the updates new kernel ...
sorry, took a while
fusk: what command gives this output ?
blackshirt: maybe i can just try the 12.10 version too... do you happen to know the major differences between desktop and server?  Different packages installed?
vlanx, server was not needed gui/desktop to run ...
VlanX, sudo fdisk -l
oh so it's a major change
vlanx, commonly server version was ubuntu minimal with set of server service was installed
vlanx, but it was depends wwhen you install it service, included or not
What is the console and how do I find it?
blackshirt: got that :)
kyle_ whats you mean with console here ?
I'm...not sure...
I'm new to Ubuntu and Linux in general.
kyle__: usually: ctrl+alt+f2. it's the linux text mode
I was asked what the console said when a program crashed.
kyle__, it might be an icon called  Terminal
Does anyone know the difference between -3.5 dB and -7 dB on a modem coaxial splitter?
if you want a console, in unity type in terminal :P
wowowo, a console for what?
VlanX, what do you mean major change ?
For those interested in participating in Movember this year, there's now an Ubuntu network to be a part of http://ca.movember.com/mospace/network/Ubuntu
sorry xangua
xangua, is there a channel for community related discussion or is that lumped into 'off topic'?
can 12.10 server boot from lvm + raid?
stochastic, how long does it take to grow a mustache?
snark that depends on your heritage
hi every body
I've been fighting with my nvidia drivers.  None of the forums I've looked at have helped.  I'm trying to use the nvidia drivers, and I want to rotate my screen.  I just can't seem to get it to work.  I have nvidia-current-updates installed. I'm using TwinView to rotate the screen.
anyone know why compiz-fusion-plugins-extra was removed from the repository?
ubuntu 12.04 is very best.
stochastic, Iwould need a lot more than a month!
I use it for 2 years.
Can anyone point me in the right direction on how to get started with understanding linux?
aye, however it's not in the repository
snark, then you can just donate to others to help the cause or help spread the word to others
stochastic, I will head over to ca.movember.com and have a gander
snark http://ca.movember.com/mospace/network/Ubuntu  is the Ubuntu network link, movember.com is the main site
anybody know how I can set 3-finger-tap as middle click? (Or even better, 2-finger and 3-finger for right-click)?
@xangua :literally no software centre entry, have checked software sources
I just upgraded to Ubuntu 12.10 from 10.04 (upgraded through upgrade manager) and most things seem alright. The biggest problem though is pidgin now no longer appears in the tasktray, and will completely close when I close the 'buddy list' window. What is going on and how do I fix this?
hello everyone
hello rammy
hello
new to freenode
I do have 'pidgin-libnotify' installed, but I do not know if the plugin is enabled. I do not see it in the plugins list. (I had a similar issue long ago, and this was the fix, so just more troubleshooting information if related)
pcg: port to new messaging-menu API in 12.10 isn't complete for pidgin yet
trism: Thanks for the response. Is there a workaround?
pcg:the pidgin libnotify plugin doesn't support the new ondemand feature of the message indicator, but you can add pidgin to the system tray blacklist for it to show the system tray icon; use dconf for that...here is an example http://askubuntu.com/questions/39843/application-indicator-for-shutter
howdy
pcg, also check option "show system tray icon" under preference, if you choose always it should not close when closing buddy list
xektrum, It is set to 'always'. "Should" and reality in software differ. :P
pcg I've just tested on gnome-shell, if I set never and I close buddy, pidgin closes, but If I set always and I close pidgin, it goes to the tray icon
however it might be different on unity
anyone willing to help me setup dialup in lubuntu11
xangua: Thanks for the response. I looked into that askubuntu page and do not have desktop -> unit -> panel in dconf-editor. Possibly related to the fact it is from mid-2011.
desktop -> unity -> panel **
xektrum: I'm sure this is directly related to unity.
ahh I see, then disregard my suggestion :)
pcg: it is in the dconf-tools package
I don't use unity :P
is there a way to manually get what packages have been installed? I'm trying to restore a really borekd system and I only have /var that is not corupted
how can I check where an environment variable is being set other than bashrc ?
frankcox777, as in modem dialup or network connection?
trism: I have the tool. The entry in the tool is what is missing.
mobem -phone line using gnome-ppp
pcg: oh, com/canonical/unity/panel
snark -modem using gnome-ppp
frankcox777, is it a usb-modem?
trism: Thanks
pcg: was renamed to match the gsettings key
snark -no-externel serial modem -it is detected as such
snark -ols US Robotics serial modem flashed to 56k
old
trism: I've added pidgin to the whitelist. Do I need to restart to observe the effects?
snark http://pastebin.com/hJ3jz9TV
pcg: yeah you'll probably need to log out/back in
pcg: as you were told enable the pidgin icon in it's preferences
frankcox777, not really sure what it is (i understand its some sort of modem!)
xangua: Trust me, i did long long ago.
trism, xangua, xektrum: Thank you for your help. Hopefully you won't see me again after I relog.
snark -is is a serial modem , a hardware modem that hooks to the serial port and is automatically detected
snark- it dials through a phone line
I have mine as 'Pidgin' but I don't know that case matters, should probably check sometime
frankcox777, your pastebin says "no dial tone"   is the phone line attached to the modem?
snark http://compare.ebay.com/like/360503172554?var=lv&ltyp=AllFixedPriceItemTypes&var=sbar
snark -yes and the phone line is hot
frankcox777, as I recall from the good ole days, there were certain codes you could send the modem to manually make it do things like connect to test it.... should be a list on line
frankcox777: called AT commands (IIRC)
thats the ones
snark - the modem is fine- it is a software problem
snark I can connect w/ puppy linux
frankcox777, I think somsip is right with the AT command
what is somsip
A user in the #ubuntu IRC room.
the person in here called somsip!
frankcox777, in puppy linux did you have a file called wvdial.conf?
snark -it has the file but puppy is designed for dialup so you configure it likw windows
frankcox777: I was just trying to give you a hint on what to search for if you wanted to delve into testing with AT commands. That's all
Will there ever be as many options in Unity  as there were in Gnome2 panel? For example a user friendly menu system with add-ons and options?
snark - I appreciate the thought but it is a pain in the rear to use dialup with lubuntu
about compiz:  compiz-fusion-plugins-extra was apparently moved to compiz-plugins which is why i was unable to locate it earlier, just an FYI
Will there ever be as many options in Unity  as there were in Gnome2 panel? For example a user friendly menu system with add-ons and options?
frankcox777, if puppy linux dialed out for you then the needed AT commands would be in the wvdial.conf file
while we're on the subject of wvdial.........
having an issue with a gps device in this laptop
have used the minicom to spark the device into live and it seems to be returning an output on gpspipe -r
howeveri can't get any software to pick it up, gpsd is running but neither xgps or viking can read the device
snark -yes but I don't think that will change the fact if goes from modem initialized to no dialtone that quick
There is a permission problem somewhere- I think I will just use puppy on this one
Laice: gpsd is pointing at what device?
I'm running 12.04LTS -- What's the easiest way to have a process startup when the system boots up? The process should be run as root, and have various commandline parameters set.
almoxarife: /dev/ttyACM2
Laice: what type of gps is it?
frankcox777,  better still   get a usb modem if possible
f3507g , dell varient
variant*
snark -why?
Laice: if xgps does not see it then gpsd is either not up or not seeing the unit, verify gpsd is up, under what user also
frankcox777,  they can be a lot easier to setup
hello , how can i run unity-2d-panel standalone?
almoxarife: ooh that sounds promising, was it the user group dialer?
i have problems with logout or shutdown
it is slow 30 seconds
Anyone? Is there some package that Ican use or something? initd scripts are a pain to use :(
may be unity-2d-panel is waiting for unity-launcher close
almoxarife: aye gpsd running under nobody
Laice: i am not sure what usergroup would show up in your sys, but i would want to be part of that group
how can i simulate a unity-2d-launcher
The modem is setup - it found it automatically - I have used the same modems with a usb interface and it makes no difference
jerkface03: how about calling it from /etc/rc.local?
for bypass the comprobation of unity-2d-panel
skypce: login to unity/failsafe(something to that effect) ?
Happy HalloWeen (almost)
hi?=
what does the user nobody represent? not something i've come across before
mother of god
father actually
jerkface03: init scripts are not that bad
i though this chats are something old and no used
there should be a skeleton one you can copy and modify to suit your needs
Laice: maybe this will help http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nobody_(username)
ty
im lead to believe that if you didnt want to use an init script you'd use cron, but I have never bothered to learn how it works
Wug:  Even that's a bit iffy. I just wish there was some interface for it or something
it's curious because i started up gpsd with sudo service gpsd start, and it's running under the user nobody whensurely that would be root?
just copy /etc/init.d/skeleton to something else and play with the variables at the top, which should be sufficient to run a process as root without any special tricks
Laice: its not an issue with gpsd then, the device itself, how does it connect to the sys?
frankcox777, yes I understand    its an AT command problem   you can sent AT commands from the command line to the modem
frankcox777, yes I understand    its an AT command problem   you can send* AT commands from the command line to the modem
you then have to register it with whatever the command is
almoxarife: lsusb:vBus 002 Device 014: ID 413c:8147 Dell Computer Corp. F3507g Mobile Broadband Module
I don't remember, exactly what it is, but it will set up links to the init script in the correct places and it will start and stop itself automatically at boot and shutdown
hi
hi
jerkface03: I think its update-rc.d <yourinitscriptname> defaults
run it from /etc/init.d
have you had your portion of fear this night ?
Wug: so I created my script then I run that command and it should run everytime i boot, or will I have to specifically start it each time?
i fear waking up in the morning and having to go to work.
mostly because it's 3:19am
HalloWeen 20 Y.O. Later of John Carpenter
hi
hello evryboddy
hi
my ubuntu software center is not working
how so?
change distribution
it frozen
is it  in the middle of an update?
can u exit?
no
try the killall cmd from terminal?
exit ??
ubuntu software center <-- what is the system process name for it in ubuntu
xangua: it only supports the gtk2 indicators, I only see application and sound in the repo
alteratively if you want a gui to do it from open up "System monitor" and find it in the processes list
xangua: in 12.10 that is
called software-center for the record
i am a few months into linux and i have ubuntu 12.04 and have been trying to install and get the application f.lux to function properly and have been having trouble
abdobonna: do this, alt-f2 , type in it " pkill software-center "
does anyone use this application
lead0r, what's f.lux?
it adds a halogen effect to the monitor reducing eyestrain
is that the lighting program?
ah yes, only mac and windows from what i can see
what the name of ubuntu software center in system monitor??
software-centre @abdobonna
i got it onto the machine and running with the sudo-ap-get
one sec will try lead0r
what was the package name?
not found
http://stereopsis.com/flux/linux.html
ah that's a ppa, will see if it works in a sec will just finish helping abdobonna
preesh
abdobonna try opening a terminal and tryping "ps -e | grep software-center
ok
that should give you a process id
hello everybody
then you can kill that id with "sudo kill ######"
where the #####'s are the process id
not give me any thing
hmm
very strange ghost then lol, muse be haunted
no any programs look like software center ??
not that i'm aware
might be worth restarting
and seeing if the problem repeats itself
lead0r: getting the same problem trying to install it
Laice: you can kill a process by its name too. man killall
lead0r: looks like the repository is returning a 404
bad ubottu, no biscuit.
I not found it on system monitor
laice: yeah i couldnt get it to function
from apt-get update: W: Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/kilian/f.lux/ubuntu/dists/quantal/main/binary-amd64/Packages  404  Not Found
yeah i got that too
likely not been ported to quantal yet
i am tempted to email the guy who wrote the linux version kilian and ask him
either that or try compiling from source
hmm well thanks
looks like there's a source on github
laice: what can be done with the source
i saw that there was a source on github but i figurred before i would try and do anything i would find a place to ask questions
i'm no master on sources im afraid
lead0r, if you have the source you can try building it.
lead0r, no guarantee it'll work, check the verison numbers though
lead0r, if the PPA you mentioned has the same version that the git has, then the issue'll likely recurr
"compile
Anyone know of an app in Ubuntu that will show what shell commands the gui software runs when you do stuff?
lead0r: I very strongly suggest you get the ubuntuizes sources for precise and compile them to a .deb package you can install. that way you can easily uninstall or upgrade it later when a quantal version of the software comes out
lead0r, given the version and the upload dates, i'm going to say this hasnt been updated for a while
juan_: pstree for example. depends how long those shell commands last
juan_ runn the program from the terminal
thanks wols
juan_, depends what you're running.  what're you looking for there?
yeah that is what i figured
cool cool cool
laterz
 sleep to me
Well, I downloaded BackBox Linux, and am familiar with Fedora. I would like to run Ubuntu Software Center, and actually see the shell command lines for the update.
Like usually I can use yum or rpm to get packages . ..just curious how ubuntu software does it ...
apt-get
juan_: system-monitor will give you the names, so will top and htop
juan_: you can't mix-match rpm with debs
you are right, top says software-center . ....got a man page to ...thanks, that works . ..
juan_: we don't support anything but ubuntu here. ask backbox people please
well, one can alien a deb to rpm, not sure what type of alien will come out though
hmm ... backbox is based off Ubuntu ....
but it is not ubuntu, and hence off topic
actually asking about the ubunto software center . ..so does that qualify?
no. either you run ubuntu, then this is the channel for you, or you don't, then it's not
but its cool, I get it.
ubuntu can't and doesn't know how backbox changed their software
wols: i don't know about that, i run what i run, i ask questions pertaining to ubuntu here
kinda what I was thinking, basic linux . ...
almoxarife: you might not know but it's the channel policy
no derivatives or other linux distros supported
i'll make sure all my questions revolve around ubuntu . ..no biggie . ...
wols: i am sure the policy is to stick to questions about ubuntu, i doubt it says ' not running ubuntu? , not the place for you' , i will leave it at that, its offtopic too :)
wols, the only derivatives supported in this channel are Xubuntu, Kubuntu, and Lubuntu, as well, since those're official derivatives.  sometimes people ask for help with those here instead of the respective normal channels for those derivs.
TheLordOfTime: ok, if you call them derivatives
wols, http://www.ubuntu.com/project/about-ubuntu/derivatives  (some call them derivatives, others call them flavors, same difference)
I see this is a passionate topic . ...
its a small topic no biggie
* TheLordOfTime returns to what he was doing
i installed something with apt-get, how do i find what files it installer where?
apeman: dpkg -L <package name>
this doesn't show debconf created files however
Do you guys know if Enlightment got an IRC channel somewhere?
K350: #e here on freenode
wols: oh :(
ah,
bazhang: thanks for the tip :-)
HAPPY HALLOWEEN!
 i have a problem MBR of my computer is not working correctly .I can't boot  win's on it .Can any one help me how to repair my MBR
put your windows disc in and reboot
How  to fix MBR ? During installing an error message is displayed 'I can't  find where am i " check your MBR ?
polp: installing what exactly?
and how
wols: installing window 7
hi
this is a channel for Ubuntu only, a Linux distribution. get support for Windows in ##windows
please tell me, why the first command works,  but the second gives an error
iwconfig wlan0 key 12ABC45678
^ everything okay
but:
root@linux:/# iwconfig wlan0 key foo1D4ta
Error for wireless request "Set Encode" (8B2A) :
    invalid argument "foo1D4ta".
wols: same problem with ubuntu 12.10 but work fine with ubuntu 10.04 (gnome 2)
Marius80: the first one uses Hex numbers only (0-9, A-F), the 2nd one is a string
hum
polp: gnome has nothing to do with bootloaders. and the error message would be different too than you wrote before
wols, well, my password is a sting
string
what shell I do then?
convert it to hex?
wols: ok ! can't install win 7 and ubuntu 12,0X due to hardware dependencies and MBR
21/m here. cam2cam?
Marius80: use s:foo1D4ta   see man iwconfig for details
blanco, bad joke?
wols, I tried s: before,  same error
polp: more info needed. about the ubuntu install only
root@linux:/# iwconfig wlan0 key s:foo1D4ta
Error for wireless request "Set Encode" (8B2A) :
    SET failed on device wlan0 ; Invalid argument.
Apparently some one on freenode thought I was a troll being on Ubuntu Widnows and MacOSX as well as their channel I got banned lol
WRONG WINDOW!
wols: i'm not sure but when i boot ubuntu using Live USB  , it work fine but when i go for installing it gave me   an error that ' please clear your DVD /CD drive lens or check your h/w update .But while installing window 7 it gave me an MBR error 'can't found where am i '
i'm certain that's not the reason you were banned
hi there
I started the distribution upgrade, but I think its using a very slow server, can I stop it now ?
what will happen if I stop it ?
polp: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/CDIntegrityCheck
hi all! suddenly my headphone jack stopped working last night. there is little or no-sound in the headphones. the headphones are fine. the speakers work fine too. ubuntu is sensing the headphones. but no output in headphones. please help!
silv3r_m00n: you can. especially when it's still only downloading
silv3r_m00n: nothing will happen
Hi
wols, sorry, I don't want to disturb you,  but did you see me answer?
Can someone please comment on https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-users/2012-November/265008.html
wols: yeah its just started downloading packages
Marius80: I did.
wols: so what am I doing wrong?
Marius80: isn't iwconfig doing WEP only?
wols: thanks, did it
wols, good argument
isn't there any way to connect using the command line?
arguments are not followed by a question mark. this is a question
you can simply edit /etc/network/interfaces and it will do it all automatically. it's what I generally use. not very good when you have many different APs to connect to however
hey all, trying to reinstall grub using this guide: http://www.av8n.com/computer/htm/grub-reinstall.htm Getting to the part where I run "update-grub" and I get the following error: /usr/sbin/grub-probe: error: failed to get canonical path of /cow.
HI
excuse me
wols, I am just google'ing to find out how
will tell you the result soon
Marius80: http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/debian-linux-wpa-wpa2-wireless-wifi-networking/ for example
wujie, just ask. people will answer if they know :)
wajeemba: chroot to your ubuntu installation instead
ok,thank
wols, done
wols, how can I tell my pc to connect now?
it's been set to "auto"
is there any way to install a version of ia32-libs that isn't broken?
do I need to restart?
Marius80: ifup <interface> for example
oh, like on debian...
What do you know Deepin linux?
Marius80: it's exactly like debian for a good reason: ubuntu got it all from debian :P
wols, it's doing something weired
wujie: we only know ubuntu linux, nothing else. for deepin linux you must ask elsewhere
wols, http://pastebin.com/a4Ca2FCN
The os is on ubuntu ,
wujie: no it's not. It's based on ubuntu but not ubuntu
wols, I need to update the paste
one moment please
is there any way to install a version of ia32-libs that isn't broken?
nothing weird. check if you are authenticated (syslog should have it)
JaySee: ask a sensible question
wols, ok, that would be "mount /dev/sda2 /mnt/ubuntu ; chroot /mnt/ubuntu"?
wols, now it's finished:   http://pastebin.com/TB1exFCe
JaySee, since 11.10 ubuntu 64 bit is multi-arch
wajeemba: yes, for update-grub that should suffice
deepin, china,i has been use it
oh no. os-prober needs /dev and /proc too. need to bind mount them before chrooting
wols: "error: cannot find a device for / (is /dev mounted?)."
wajeemba: yes, bind mount /dev first, /proc too probably
hi, i have just installed ubuntu-server but i am unable to perform any root command due to "username is not in the sudoers list"
what's the default password for root ?
there is none
FISH_SOUP: type "su" and press enter
wols: after "bind mount /dev ; bind mount /proc" I get the same error. This is a new install, so I'm curious as to why grub failed.. I think I did tell it to install to a small /dev/sda1 partition in the wizard, so that could be my problem..
type su and press enter, it gives me authentication error
wajeemba: did you type "bind mount /dev" as a command?
yes, in a root shell
it asked me for a password when doing so, but if its not given then how do i know whats the password?
wajeemba: that obviously is not a valid command...
during installation, they ask you to provide a username and password
other than that, nothing else
so how do i install stuff if i cant even get down to root
wols: ok, I guess I don't know what you mean by bind then yet. I'm not quite a *nix noob anymore, but definitely not on sysadmin level.. xD
wajeemba: mount -bind
wols, yes i understand
but i cant sudo!
FISH_SOUP: if your sudoers file is fubar, then something bad happened on install. I suggest you use a live cd and fix it
it keeps giving me <username is not in the sudoers list>
if i am not even in the sudoers list, how can i do what you asked
FISH_SOUP: live cd
FISH_SOUP: reboot the computer, hold shift while it boots until you reach the grub menu. select Recovery. when you reach the prompt type without quote marks "passwd <newpasswordhere>" and that changes the root password so you can enter "su"
sudo visudo
yeah, bad install..even when clicking next all the way, it can "result" in bad install?
reboot: needs to be root
lol
try run
sudo visudo
then add ur self
FISH_SOUP: are you in a ssh shell?
yes
i am
then I guess you are fscked
lol
more like ubuntu screwed up for not b eing able to install properly
FISH_SOUP: get off your butt, go to the computer, and reboot it like a pro
FISH_SOUP: reboot the computer, hold shift while it boots until you reach the grub menu. select Recovery. when you reach the prompt type without quote marks "passwd <newpasswordhere>" and that changes the root password so you can enter "su"
wols: so "mount --bind /dev /dev"?
wols, sorry,  please help me with that wifi stuff
wajeemba: no. mount --bind /dev <chroot path>/dev
wols, I really don't get it to work out for me
wols: from within chroot?
so much for VMWare "Easy Install"
wajeemba: no. before you chroot. pointless doing it inside
testing
wajeemba: http://howtoubuntu.org/how-to-repairrestorereinstall-grub-2-with-a-ubuntu-live-cd/
Marius80: what did syslog or dmesg say?
FISH_SOUP, "clicking next all the way " isn't the way to setup a server.
OerHeks, well, they didnt ask for any other information except username and password
what else can i do other than clicking next to continue?
* rypervenche facepalms.
wols: also needed to bind boot and sys, but it says it worked :D
i blame this issue on VMWare "Easy Install"
doing it manually now
ugh, looks like apt-get upgrade screwed up booting
wols: is there any way check before I reboot? or do I just bite the bullet and come back to live cd if it fails..
wols, http://pastebin.com/bX2NijWH
wajeemba: only thing you can do
lets hope this manual install goes well too
wols: well, here I go. Will be back if it didn't work xD Thx for the crash course in chroot, that'll be handy :D
Marius80: line 9 and 10. why do you use ndiswrapper inside a VM?
oh. msiread. no VM it seems
hmm, isnt it weird why they asked you to select if you would like to install LAMP Server when obviously you are already installing Linux?
unless you want it to install another Linux on top on Ubuntu
wols, it's not a virtual machine,  but virtual box is running as a guest on this host
wols, but virtual box does not deal with that issue
FISH_SOUP, maybe you want only ssh & ftp.
Marius80: what wlan chip is it?
FISH_SOUP: no it's not weird. LAMP in this case means the packages for apache, php and mysql
realtek
I run command "ctags -R *" in the dir "/usr/include/gtk-2.0/gtk",but it still can not make a reference for some function
wols, ndiswrapper gives the driver
Marius80: a bit more info needed. lspci or lsusb
I am not able to change the repository server in synaptic manager, it reverts to the server of my country, why ?
wols, 0e:00.0 Network controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. Device 8172 (rev 10)
14:00.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8101E/RTL8102E PCI Express Fast Ethernet controller (rev 02)
silv3r_m00n: edit /etc/apt/sources.list then
wols: thanks again
ok everything is well now, sudo works fine with manual install...screw VMWAre install easy
Marius80: lspci -k |grep 10ec
wols, no output
Marius80: is it a eeePC? from the looks of it, it's a rtl8187se which would be suppported without ndiswrapper
wols, its a toshiba satellite
Marius80: lspci -nn then only the pci id of the wireless card would be needed
wols, beside a lot of other stuff,  I get this:
0e:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. Device [10ec:8172] (rev 10)
14:00.0 Ethernet controller [0200]: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8101E/RTL8102E PCI Express Fast Ethernet controller [10ec:8136] (rev 02)
is anyone else having problems installing either skype or wine on 64 bit 12.10?
I have a 1TB drive with several partitions. 2 partitions are OS partitions and i choose between them at boot. There sizes are 125GB and 75GB respectively. I just got a new 300GB hdd and want to clone those 2 partitions to it so I can still choose between either at boot. How would i do this?
I'm having an odd issue with installing java on my server http://pastebin.com/kuAmARFs any ideas?
Marius80: what ubuntu version do you have?
i upgraded to 12.10 ubuntu and now every time i boot, or shutdown i have a terminal window showing all processes shutting down, etc. i'm very new, but when i use netstat it shows all connections as "stream" with multiple ports in use, etc. on shutdown there are many scripts that seem strange, albeit i am a noob, but i don't know if this is normal behavior with the upgrade/patches, or ? never did this before going to 12.10
Marius80: cause linux supports this chip since kernel 3.0 with the "rtlwifi" driver
wols, you got my version as private message
Marius80: and you can't run a supported ubuntu why?
wols, because trinity desktop still has a bug
I am wainting for the new version,  then I will upgrade
what bug?
and what trinity desktop? you said it's a toshiba satellite
trinity desktop is the old KDE 3
its beeing developed now as "trinity desktop"
trinity happens to be a current AMD cpu too
oh I see
I still strongly suggest a new Ubuntu version. with a recent kernel with proper support for the hardware
Like I said earlier, i'd try cheese out in the terminal and it crashed, never able to start, paste of the results: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1322656/ (this being on ubuntu 12.04 LTS)
what would cause ubuntu to immediately switch to a blinking cursor upon reaching the splash screen at boot?
 netstat
Active Internet connections (w/o servers)
Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address           Foreign Address         State
tcp        0      0 Brandt-PC:53960         pool-72-84-220-123:9000 ESTABLISHED

tcp        0      0 Brandt-PC:46232         mix.inf.tu-dresde:https ESTABLISHED
so there is obviously a bug with cheese
Marius80: the main error I saw in your dmesg paste was about ndiswrapper.
rootbrian: you want to see output from a vid-camera?
wols, I see...
both webcam and capture card.
wols, thank you so far
rootbrian: use vlc
almoxarife: cheese was mainly used to verify if the webcam I was using, actually worked with linux. But cheese doesn't start anymore since 12.04 LTS.
Is there something like the "Additional Drivers" program in previous releases to help me easily install and active proprietary ATI drivers?
rootbrian: vlc works
Does anyone know of any programs which seem to be detecting whether the desktop is currently composited? (Programs I could pick apart to learn to write an "is composited" test helper for a shell script)
I normally run Lubuntu to squeeze out as much performance as possible, so I don't have much experience with this aspect of composited desktops.
almoxarife: But does it capture video at the maximum resolution possible and save it to a file?
rootbrian: of course
almoxarife: I have never succeeded to get it working. But it's worth another try. I'm using the PPA for it and since it's always being updated, it should work. Thanks for the advice and renewed confidence, until canonical decides to package a *working* cheese and not some nightly unstable build.
almoxarife: i'm going to test it once an upload using flash player, completes.
rootbrian: vlc is the only thing i have ever used for my built-in cam, and i mostly hear people complain about 'cheese' not doing what ever it is that it should do
someone have any idea how to get pidgin to highlight the nick name with something other than bright orange?
with plugins installed, running in kde even
almoxarife: I have no issues with cheese even if it doesn't work correctly when capturing video or photos, as long as it starts up and functions, i'm cool with it. But if it never starts at all, then it gets on my/others nerves.
someone earlier brought up f.flux, i googled it, turns out there is already something older out there called redshift, so i installed it, imagine that, you can actually get a lappy to go redlit after day light
amazing
Filed a bug with cheese, but searched before filing a duplicate one, had I not done the search. I added the terminal dump to it via the comments. Hopefully they do fix it, and canonical does the right thing come their next 'feature' release. :)
since updating to 12.10 my boot and shutdown shows the processes which nvr happened before. i am new to linux/ubuntu/deb and not sure what to make out of them or why it just started showing all processes.  some seem odd to me so i used netstat, which showed multiple ports as "stream" and from places i have no idea from. is this normal with the new release?
I've inserted an SD to my laptop, and it automounts. mount command at terminal says rw, but nautilus says ro when I try to delete a file. what's up with that?
Getting the webcam working in vlc player shouldn't be that hard, it's not working for me. :S
Seven_Six_Two: What does it say about the permissions and file ownership in the preferences dialog for the file?
hello everyone, i trying to write a startup script in that i want that the sound should be in its maximum state. please suggest how can i do so...
aum__: Add a line involving "amixer" to your /etc/rc.local
deitarion, owned by my user, read and write
my group has read-only
Seven_Six_Two: Hmm. That IS strange. What filesystem is the card formatted with?
here is the relevant URL, i think, to my question http://paste.ubuntu.com/1322659/
I tried changing group to rw, and it pops up saying read only filesystem. I unmounted it and scanned it. fs clean
deitarion, vfat
deitarion, it's the sd card for my book reader
Seven_Six_Two: I think I know what the problem is, then.
aum__: This is probably the line you want to add to /etc/rc.local --> "amixer set Master 100%"
deitarion, I'm all ears! Well, my ears are at any rate
Seven_Six_Two: I've noticed that, for whatever insane reason, the FAT32 filesystems that SD cards come with tend to get corrupted. I've never lost any data, but it does cause Linux to force read-only behaviour for my own safety.
deitarion, what i guess, amixer is hardware dependent, the name Master changes from board to board.
aum__: Then run "amixer scontrols" to find the names your card uses.
deitarion, are you suggesting that I reformat it?
Seven_Six_Two: i'm suggesting the same thing.
Seven_Six_Two: Yeah. I've found that, if I copy all the data off, reformat using the Linux formatter, and then move it back on, it generally stays un-corrupted after that.
deitarion, should i choose the first one int that list...
Hello all
deitarion, alright. I'll give it a go. I lost my copy of "Flow my Tears the Policeman said"
ubuntu auto install is not picking up network source for install
please help
Seven_Six_Two: From the command-line (which I always use), the command is mkfs.vfat or mkdosfs (same command).
it asks for cdrom
aum__: Pastebin the list of options it gives you.
Haris: I suggest downloading the CD or DVD image, burn it, then boot from it and proceed to installing from there.
I need to install this via network
I am remotely connected to the box
Haris: Or you could use unetbootin to extract everything to a USB stick/thumb/flash drive or memory card.
Haris, are you using oob connection?
oob ?
I think he means out of band
Haris: He's asking how you are remotely connected.
via kvm
over internet
I can boot the box from network, the install starts
but it doesn't pick up the network source for installing ubuntu
Do you have complete access privileges?
it goes for local install, I think
yes, I do
Haris: What installer are you using?
you're doing pxb?
Maybe the network source isn't mounted?
box1 (where I need to install ubuntu 11.1.0) <-LAN -> PXE/cobbler box
box1 <-internet / kvm -> my PC
Are you in the same building/area/room/floor as the box?
aah...ok, now I get it. what is your network src? internet? your own archive?
the pxe box has the ubuntu files extracted from iso and placed in a folder accessible over http://
my own archive
deitarion, my question is should i choose first one in that list every time ... http://paste.ubuntu.com/1322693/
I have it placed at http://192.168.1.29/cblr/ubuntu/
Haris: I don't think that's how you're supposed to do it.
HI
anyone know how I can get the ia32-libs on a 64 bit system?
deitarion: Please elaborate
Athquiz: sudo apt-get install libjpeg62:i386
should it be ftp rather than http ?
is that path a list of debs?
is there a list of debs at that path?
that's the path to the folder where the ubuntu 11.10 iso is extracted
I think the debs list is at
Haris: I would suggest, if you have physical access to it at some point, install it from the CD or DVD.
rootbrian: hold please
Haris: Generally, in the name of being foolproof, installers tend to actually check whether the CD/DVD source is really a CD/DVD drive. I do know that you can install Debian-based distros from network sources, but the official steps to setting up your own mirror probably result in a slightly different filesystem.
ok, if you're going to use an iso, mount it loopback and use it as a cd source, not network.
vooze: unable to locate package
http://192.168.1.29/cobbler/ubuntu/dists/oneiric/main/binary-amd64/
I recently buy a D-Link wireless modem router. I can cannect with it in bridge mode. But in PPPOE mode i can't connect.
s/filesystem/filesystem layout/
this folder contains Packages.gz
I'm just trying to get wine running, but I'm getting all kinds of missing dependencies
Athquiz: hmm, weird.. worked for me :/
Athquiz: what version are you using?
12.10
64 bit
aum__: I don't have enough experience to say conclusively. I thought every device I've ever seen or heard of had "Master" as a standard control name.
deitarion: that'd be pretty odd if debian couldn't be installed over network.
Athquiz: did you copy exactly what I wrote?
Anyone can help me?
aln: Is the modem/router configured for DHCP?
vooze: yeah
copy paste
where's the debs packages in the ubuntu 11.10-server iso ?
Haris, it can, I'm just not sure an extracted install cd is the same thing as an apt archive
deitarion, thanks , i have seen such name other than master :(
Haris: It can. My point is that the layout of the files in /mnt/cdrom0 will probably be subtly different from http://www.example.com/working_debian_mirror/
hey, I want one my process to be up an running all the time. even after a fail/abort i want it to restart. I am using upstart approach. Can somebody give me a sample code to say run a sample.py file like this. please. I have been trying to get it working but I don't understand a lot of this. http://upstart.ubuntu.com/cookbook/
Athquiz: then I dont know sorry :/ just double checked.. it works here
ah I see
I can perform a network install from a mirror present over the internet as well, such as uk.archive.ubuntu.com ?
I do also have => box1 <- LAN -> NAT gw <- Internet
hi,guys
Haris: Last I checked, yeah. I don't remember how Ubuntu's recent changes affect things but I know older Ubuntu and current Debian both support minimal installers where everything except the installer itself is pulled from the Ubuntu/Debian servers.
aln: Is that wireless modem-router connected to a ADSL or DSL modem?
Haris, you can, yes. I've used the business card cd and pulled the rest from internet
when I create a upstart conf like http://www.bpaste.net/raw/XYsVmW0oavXHPS8VCzdM/ does this mean that sample.sh will always be up and running? please somebody help me with upstart! I am lost
the_dark_knight: what's in sample.sh?
aeon-ltd: maybe "cd /home/foo/  python sample.py" or some other command like "sleep 2"
rootbrian: I think it is DHCP. see this please: http://up.download.ir/di-V9D3.png
eh, If I was banned from the Ubuntu forums, am I banned here as well or what?
the_dark_knight: you could just test this, by running it then checking with top
wols: didn't work. I've got partitions left over from everywhere, so I'm just gonna clean wipe and install OS's again..
awesome. all this trouble because of poor epub formatting, and then the filesystem bailed and I lost the file. I found another copy on the internet, and the formatting is perfect. 2 hour waste of time.
Is there any big no-no to setting up my entire hard drive under a logical partition. I seem to enjoy creating ~8-10 partitions to play around with..
installing from CD is the last resort for me
the good option for me is network install
aeon-ltd: ok. hold on. after putting this sample.conf in $HOME/.init  do I need to restart something?
aeon-ltd: or should I directly put it in /etc/init/
wajeemba, the partition with your kernel has to be primary, iirc
i've no idea on how upstart works, but try in your home first
rootbrian: phone line in connected to the modem directly.
wajeemba, the rest of the partitions you can do what you like.
Seven_Six_Two: Are you sure? I thought, as long as GRUB was installed into the master MBR rather than the partition MBR, that requirement didn't apply.
deitarion, no, I'm not 100% sure.
Seven_Six_Two: hmm, ok. I'm assuming if that's the case, windows probably wouldn't like it either..
I'm pretty sure Windows needs to boot from a primary partition.
aln: Did you configure the PPPoE settings correctly from within the modem itself?
Anyone handy with Bash have a minute /msg me, thanks :)
Other question I have: should I be creating a separate partition for /boot, since I'm planning on triple booting Ubuntu/Win8/Arch
wajeemba: Separate partition for /boot isn't really that useful anymore since most distros either put the recovery shell in initrd or give you a /boot that can't run on its own.
wajeemba, you don't have to.
nautious ??
nautilus ?
Seven_Six_Two, deitarion, yeah, seems like every distro wants it's own boot folder.. so my followup question is, where will the final resting place of grub be if I don't create a separate partition?
how to update grub help me plz
is the netboot iso different from the normal server iso for ubuntu ?
rootbrian: In Windows it is working correctly
wajeemba: You'll have the GRUB loader stub in the MBR and it'll reference whichever /boot installed it.
hello any indian here?
aln: I guess the manufacturer didn't intend it to work with Linux. I suggest getting a refund and going about the ADSL/DSL modem and router individually if possible, like i'm doing. It's less trouble.
deitarion: ok, I figured there must be a reference in the mbr. that will live within the first 512 bytes of the hard drive, and I won't have to worry about trying to save space for it in gparted? (seems to want to save 1MB by default)
aln: i'm thinking bridge is the only way it'll work.
aln: Why do you want to connect via PPPoE?
wajeemba: Give it the 1MB. It's one measly megabyte and it probably knows better than you do.
aln, are there settings in the device for vci/vpi
Jordan_U: To share internet via my laptop or cellphone.
deitarion: oh, I fully plan on it. I'm just trying to connect my new knowledge to what I've seen going on previously. :)
Seven_Six_Two: yes
did you verify that they are correct for your isp
aln: By "via" do you mean "to"?
wajeemba: will you run windows too?
wols: yes, win8
wajeemba: if you run windows, make the windows partition primary. all the others can be extended partitions: linux doesn't care
Jordan_U: "with". Sorry for my English.
wajeemba: It should live within the boot sector. I believe the 1MiB left free is to compensate for idiosyncrasies in some OS/bootloader/hardware combination I'm not familiar with.
wajeemba: install windows first. leave space for ubuntu and arch, then install them
How to move sent mails from thunderbird to Gmail sent folder?
wols: yeah, that's what I was planning for order. :)
aln: Is it correct to say that you want to browse the internet on your cellphone, using the DSL modem to conenct rather than the cell's data plan?
wols: is it only possible to have 1 extended partition?
aln: If you intend to tether to your cellular phone, you'll need either a USB bluetooth dongle or the smartphone's Mobile Hotspot functionality and likely, a tethering or data option enabled.
wajeemba: pretty much but with as many partitions inside as you want more or less
wajeemba: No, but it rarely makes sense to have more than one.
technically you could create 4 extended partitions i guess. but silly to do so
extended is container for logical
that's funny, because gparted doesn't look like it wants to make more than 1.. Don't think I'll need more than one tho, it would be more of a hassle to manage more..
no, I think you can have only 1
aeon-ltd: still no luck. please help me out here
<waves hand jedi-like>
Jordan_U: Yes. I want to use internet in laptop and smartphone simultaneously.
Seven_Six_Two: Any of your primary partition slots (even all of them) can be used as extended partitions. It just doesn't make much sense to do so as you lose flexibility and gain nothing.
Does Ubuntu support desktop which you can interact with? Like have a box inside my desktop be a terminal
stuart_: Could you rephrase that? I get the impression I'm misunderstanding what you're asking.
Oh, wait. I see now.
Like my desktop is just a picture, can programs like they are a part of my desktop
Jordan_U, wikipedia entry on mbr disagrees.   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disk_partitioning#PC_partition_types
stuart_: Yeah. There are basically two ways you can do something like that.
aln: you'll likely have to use one or the other.
Seven_Six_Two: I stand corrected then. Thanks.
stuart_: The first (and most common) way is to set up a terminal which runs on login, has no borders, and is set to always stay below other windows and not appear in the taskbar.
aln: Under my impression, Mobile Hotspot works with up to five devices. Bluetooth, only one.
Jordan_U, np. I just learned that too
stuart_: The second is to replace the program which draws the desktop with something else. (That's usually used for visual tricks like using a movie or a screensaver as your desktop wallpaper)
deitarion: for the second one, what could I google to learn more about it?
stuart_: Look into running applications in the root window.
rootbrian: Thanks a lot  for your help
stuart_: Give me a sec and I'll give you an example.
stuart_: Also, what desktop are you running?
Jordan_U: Thanks:)
Seven_Six_Two: Thanks:)
deitarion, gnome 3
hi guys :)
stuart_: Then you can't use the root window trick. Anything with a fancy, modern desktop handler draws the desktop as a big window covering the root window.
(You can run stuff in the root window, but it'll be hidden by the desktop which covers it and can't be hijacked in that manner)
However, there may be plugins for GNOME 3 to achieve a similar effect.
suddenly my mouse is stop working, is there any service  or cmd to enable mouse again
deitarion, what desktop did you have in mind? unity?
sasuke: Did you try unplugging and replugging it?
rootbrian: aln is *not* trying to teather.
deitarion, its laptop mouse . i am not using any external one
stuart_: Actually, I was thinking of something more like LXDE or Xfce where the panels and the desktop are drawn by separate programs and you can turn off the one that draws your desktop and drop in your own.
sasuke: Ugh. I generally avoid laptops. Do you know enough keyboard shortcuts to run "xev" so we can see if it's still seeing your mouse clicks?
aln: What you're trying to do, have multiple devices accessing the internet from the same router, is how routers come configured by default and should work perfectly fine. You do *not* want PPPoE or bridged mode though, as those both allow only one device to connect at a time (though I will admit I'm not very familiar with "bridged mode" and may be wrong there).
deitarion, ok thanks, I will try and see if i can get gnome to do it
Jordan_U: Bridged mode is for when you want to use your own router rather than the one built into the DSL/Cable modem.
Jordan_U: Whether you can connect more than one PC in bridged mode without using your own router depends on whether you've bought extra public IP addresses from your ISP.
deitarion, ya some shortcuts i know. now i am only using my keyboard. i want to restart mouse drives. i know there is some cmd, but i am not sure... so i need help :)
sasuke: One thing you could try is using Ctrl+Alt+F1 to get to the system console and then Ctrl+Alt+F7 to get back into the GUI. That'll probably cause your X server to reset its drivers at least somewhat. (If Ctrl+Alt+F7 doesn't work, try other F keys since, on rare occasions, the X server ends up on a virtual console other than #7)
hello, pls can anyone assist me? I am having an 400 Bad Request      Request Header Or Cookie Too Large   error on my config
deitarion: Ahh, that makes sense. Still, that does not seem to be what aln should be trying to use, and nor does PPPoE (considering that the modem and router are combined). I'm pretty sure that aln just wants the standard configuration of a home wireless access point and router using NAT and having the router itself handle the DSL connection (since the router and modem are on the same device).
deitarion: We just need to figure out how to walk them through achieving that with their device :)
Jordan_U: That depends on his ISP and how he's using PPPoE. I know my router+modem needs PPPoE configured because that's how my ISP talks to it.
aln: sorry if I got lost/got you lost. Just plugging the computer into the modem-router via the ethernet cable will work fine.
deitarion, i got the answer from askubuntu.com, here is the command "sudo modprobe psmouse" . It works for me. Thanks for the info. have a nice day :)
for flexibility, I'm thinking of leaving a little unpartitioned space in the middle of my hard drive. That way I can give it to an operating system partition or my storage partition later just by a simple partition expansion. Is anything strange going to happen if I format this relatively massive extra space as swap ~20GB
wajeemba: Can't help you there. I've never used that much swap space because I've got four hard drives and I split my swap space across them so I can configure load balancing and have out-of-memory thrashing a little more bearable when one of my dev builds starts leaking memory.
I mean, I figure why not mark it open if it's otherwise going to be unallocated..
wajeemba: will be fine
but you can't use unpartitioned space as swapspace
wols: I believe he's asking whether there's any problem with making a 20GiB swap partition and then, at some point in the future, retiring it and re-partitioning.
< wajeemba> for flexibility, I'm thinking of leaving a little unpartitioned space in the middle of my hard drive
wols: Yes, that's the intent of the space, but I might phrase it that way too.
wols: right, I'd format it as swap, and then toss it later and make a smaller one to the side if I want more space on the neighboring partitions. Mostly just asking what's going to happen if I have a 20GiB swap file with daily use
wols: Your interpretation is akin to insisting that nobody has more than 100MiB of RAM free on any Linux box because opportunistic disk caching means the memory isn't free in the strictest sense.
deitarion: please stop
wols: Already done.
Jordan_U: Sorry. Please see this:http://www.techlineinfo.com/configuration-guide-of-adsl-wifi-modem-d-link-dsl-2730-u-for-bsnl-and-mtnl/
Jordan_U:  PPPoE mode is essential to share the internet connection with multiple PCs, Laptops, Smart phones etc.
wajeemba: Well, I can tell you that nothing out of the ordinary happened with 6 to 8 GiB of swap space in multiple 2GiB partitions.
aln, Jordan_U: That looks right. Basically, in PPPoE mode, the device handles authenticating with your ISP. In bridged mode, it just translates DSL to ethernet so you can plug another router in down the line and let that second one do the PPPoE.
deitarion: I mean, if 20GB of swap gets written to during a normal session, that's fine. The space will fill up. It's really not going to affect the number of disk writes, It'll just spread them out over the 20 gb instead of a smaller space..
wajeemba: ...yes? What was your question then?
deitation: just needed to say it out loud to think it thru I guess. didn't want to be causing more disk writes and speeding the failure of the disk..
deitarion: Can you explain more?
wajeemba: Ahh. Yeah, as long as it's a spinning platter disk, no harm. If it's an SSD, putting any swap on it is bad.
aln: With DSL, you need to log into your ISP using a username and password. It used to be that the DSL modem was a separate device which you plugged your router into.
hi, how to install my graphic card driver?
aln: Now that they're on the same circuit board, there needs to be a way to turn the router part of the device off so you can use your own router if you have a better one. That's what bridged mode does.
hello?
deitarion: good stuff. Off to install the windows I guess..
aln: Basically, if you're not sure, want PPPoE mode 9 times out of 10.
s/want/you want/
aln: Think of "bridged mode" as the on-switch for a certain type of after-market add-on.
deitarion: Is this only one solution? Are there any another solution?
can someone please confirm that you're reading me?
i see you
kristenbb_: We tend to ignore random "hello?" lines while we wait for people to actually ask their question.
deitarion: the question was right above, was it not printed on the irc server?
aln: That question gives me the impression that you are really out of your depth. What, exactly, are you trying to do?
kristenbb_: Oh, sorry. I didn't notice it.
kristenbb_: You asked your question poorly. Give as much detail as possible in the initial question. At the very least, is it an ATi, nVidia, or Intel onboard graphics card or do you need help determining that?
* wajeemba leaves a tip
I actually think I managed to make it work, by using a software called 'additional drivers'. It asks me to restart
i'll be back
aln: (I know you probably explained what you were trying to do, but I was very distracted at the time and it's awkward for me to check that far into a busy backlog with my current client)
maybe john connor told him to say that
aln: if it's a wireless modem router, why don't you connect via wifi instead and let DHCP take care of it all?
aln: Press and hold the reset button until it reboots, release. this will reset it to the defaults, then enter the PPPoE information your internet service provider gave you, then apply the settings. Next, connect to it via wifi. That's all you need to do.
hi, I have one very important porblem related to upstart. My sample.conf and sample.sh are here http://www.bpaste.net/raw/chfJp8rB37ci5HKgbymF/. when i do sudo initctl emit sample, it hangs my computer. I have to restart it manually. please help. am i doing it right?
rootbrian: With my desktop computer?
reboot
sorry, console in other window >.>
it's still me. it's actually worse than before. I now can't even log in, after the system boots, I get a window saying 'tthe system is running in low graphics mode. your screen, graphics card, and input device settings, could not be detected correctly, you need to configure them yourself'. what should i do   ?
is there a copy command that gives MB/sec and progress bars in a shell?
aln: connect the desktop computer's Ethernet cable to either port numbered 1, 2, 3 or 4.
kristenbb: what videocard do you have?
aln: also, before you do that, reset anything you changed via Edit Connections, or where you made the changes.

wols: nvidia
kristenbb: be more precise
wols: nvidia  gtx 680
rootbrian: Thanks a lot for your attention and for your help.
rootbrian: :)
aln: your welcome.
aln: I was a newbie at one time. ;)
rootbrian: :)
rootbrian, aln: And my apologies for complicating things. I didn't think before I jumped in on the topic of PPPoE mode vs bridged mode.
(I saw the one detail I did know and forgot to check the backlog to catch up on the rest of them)
kristenbb: pastebin your Xorg.0.log
wols: how do you mean, I can't even log in. what should I do ?
deitarion: Thanks:)
deitarion: no problem. I often get confused and mixed up.
deitarion, you need to still use a script for the gui?
hey guys please help me on this. upstart
kristenbb: continue to run in low graphics mode, uninstall the nvidia drivers.
the_dark_knight, there's a wiki and ubuntu help about upstart
jagginess: Context, please?
deitarion, something about 'composite'
deitarion, a little while back..
kristenbb: Which NVIDIA driver are you using? The open source or the proprietary?
jagginess: Oh, yeah. I've got this script I wrote which is sort of like DxDiag for Linux (it gathers debugging information to be attached to bug reports for games and other multimedia applications) and it doesn't yet check whether there's desktop compositing in effect.
opensource == nv , proprietary == "nvidia"
jagginess: Actually, opensource == "nv" or "nouveau"
rootbrian: I just tried installing the proprietary with the software called 'additional drivers'
deitarion, um.. what are you trying to accomplish doing with the composite detail?
deitarion, there's gui app helpers, like aRandr, and there's cli commands like xrandr, xdpyinfo
rootbrian: but I can't get to low graphics mode,  all I got was tty1, a console with no desktop
kristenbb: I suggest disabling the proprietary and going with the open source ones.
kristenbb: startx
kristenbb: type startx, hit enter.
rootbrian: it shows a blank screen
rootbrian: no unity
kristenbb: ctrl+alt+f1 and you can log in
jagginess: I'm already gathering output from xrandr and xdpyinfo (among others) but I couldn't see anything that says whether there's a compositor active.
jagginess: Here's the script in question: https://gist.github.com/3759156
wols: i am logged in, but still no desktop
kristenbb: when you are logged in you can pastebin the log file I requested. please do
kristenbb: if you logged in via the terminal where you're at, type startx and is there anything showing?
deitarion, oh yeah.. one of the glxinfo commands can probably shoot out what you're looking for, try apropos glx
kristenbb: also, follow wols's directions
rootbrian: yes there is, just a blank sscreen
rootbrian: I mean, I can see the desktop, but no unity
wols: how can I pastebin without a desktop environment
deitarion, but there's already gui apps that show this.. just a couple of apt-cache searches...
okay, press alt-f2 and then type in unity
jagginess: I have no clue what to apt-cache search. I know there are apps like fusion-icon which show which WM is active, but I have yet to see one which checks whether compositing is enabled.
kristenbb: Alt-F2. Type in unity, hit enter.
rootbrian: alt f2 doesn't do anything
(For example, KWin from KDE 4 can be toggled between composited like Compiz or un-composited like Openbox with a simple keypress)
kristenbb: Press ctrl-alt-f7 and see if anything shows
rootbrian: yes, some random text
rootbrian: the last line is 'mountall: Disconnected from Plymouth               [OK]'
kristenbb: Since we cannot see what's on the screen, I am going to suggest doing a reinstall.
rootbrian: a reinstall of what?
kristenbb: The current version of ubuntu you're running.
rootbrian: that's nott convenient, I just lost a lot of time setting up my new system
W:Failed to fetch http://extras.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/quantal/Release.gpg  Unable to connect to extras.ubuntu.com:http:
kristenbb: This is out of my reach. Sorry.
wols: which file do you want me to give you again? and where is it?
jagginess: As far as things like xrandr, xdpyinfo, and glxinfo go, I'll probably have to just log into KDE 4, run `(xrandr -q -v ; xdpyinfo -queryExtensions -ext all; glxinfo -t -v -l) 2>&1 1>log.txt`, toggle compositing, log them again, and diff the logs to see if anything reliable shows up.
wols: I can't see anything starting with xorg or Xorg in my home.
kristenbb: /var/log/Xorg.0.log
deitarion, there's arandrd or a<>randr that is a gui app .. i don't know if it shows other things
jagginess: Probably not. I get the impression the XRANDR extension doesn't know or care about compositing
deitarion, but ehm.. maybe you should ask in #xorg, they can point you to better resouces
jagginess: Point. I'll try that if nothing shows up in the brute-force diffing of of the command outputs between KWin's composited and un-composited modes.
hello I am terribly new ubuntu i would like to ask how to install and or update software with ubuntu using commandline
rommel092079: `sudo apt-get install name-of-package` or `sudo apt-get upgrade`
deitarion, but it's kinda pointless what you're doing because people should not or don't ever toggle their live window managers..
rommel092079, and 'sudo apt-get update' to update the package cache
jagginess: I think you misunderstand somehow. The reason I'm toggling is because it minimizes the number of things that differ between "with compositing" and "without compositing".
what are we toggling
wastrel: I'm trying to find a WM-agnostic way to detect compositing and I'll be testing by using KDE 4, where you can turn compositing on and off with a single keyboard shortcut.
deitarion, but either the window manager should be set to it or not.. i think it's not very well supported for the libraries to allow toggling to be securely done without having windows cropped up
deitarion, ^
jagginess: You really don't get what i'm talking about. The toggling is just an artifact of my test procedure.
i am usig centos right now and i have issues with their packages. some are installed with yum and some with using rpm.  is ubuntu done somewhat this way too or just with apt-get?
rommel092079, #centos (you're in #ubuntu :)
rommel092079, not the same thing
ubuntu==dpkg/apt-get/aptitude , synaptic
rommel092079, its a similar situation, yum is equivalent to apt-get, while rpm is equivalent to dpkg
hey guys please help me out on the upstart
hi, I have one very important porblem related to upstart. My sample.conf and sample.sh are here http://www.bpaste.net/raw/chfJp8rB37ci5HKgbymF/. when i do sudo initctl emit sample, it hangs my computer. I have to restart it manually. please help. am i doing it right?
jagginess: The whole point of this exercise is so a script can detect whether the desktop is composited without recognizing the WM by name and saying "Oh, Compiz! That's composited" or "Oh, KWin! I need to use <name of command> to check for compositing"
rommel092079: yum is a rpm front end and doesn't install anything. apt-get gets the packages and does conflict resolution while all packages are installed via dpkg
deitarion, i dont think there's a standard API for window managers to report if they're using a compositing feature..
deitarion: you can't do this, cause the fact that it uses compositing is WM internal. all you can do is check for compositing support from the server
jagginess: But there's probably a standard API for the X server to tell me that some WM has activated the rendering redirects inherent in compositing.
is there ever an instance where you will be needing to install using other than apt-get?
deitarion, unless you can query some class trees like you can with old X intrisic classtrees
rommel092079: depends what you do,but yes there is. but you can then uninstall this package via apt-get again if you want to
deitarion, probably this might be another avenue, but other than that you'll have to probe it
deitarion, again you should ask a higher level group on the subject.. but I do know you won't get an answer about scripting solutions
hi guys - I'm now storing my ssh keys in a new location in /etc . how do I get selinux to allow sshd permission to read it ?
jagginess: We shall see. I suspect that, whether it's glxinfo or xdpyinfo or some other such utility, if I set it verbose enough and query the right X extension, I'll find some indicator I can awk out and use.
deitarion, you can probably script probing gnome classes, you'll have to find the right tools for scripting this, but the dev's at #xorg would point you to glx/xorg docs
deitarion, not talking strictly on xdypinfo, but some other miscellaneous helper tool in the repos
what packages are installed with apt-get and dkpg?
deitarion, (you can keep digging like -> apt-cache search glx ) dunno what grep can be used.. but there's always something
guys for svn any hosting free like assemla!
rommel092079: all
jagginess: *nod* I'll drop into #xorg now and ask since it'll probably be low-effort.
wols: can you give me example on how to use dkpg to start with
deitarion, what are you going to use with your script, xdialog? a misc tool like xdialog for the purpose you're looking for.. there's tools for scripting all sorts of stuff (and doubt #xorg can help you on this because you're not doing C)
cloudgeek: why not assembla? Free for no-frills isn't it?
rommel092079: to do what?
somsip: nope it's only free for 30 dyas
to install / update
days
jagginess: No gui whatsoever. It generates a debug dump to be attached to a bug report.
deitarion, well there's also dmidecode that's sort a structured output
cloudgeek: sourceforge
best hosting for svn for private!
or you use github
wols: let me checkout sourceforge
jagginess: Structured isn't necessarily a problem but it also requires root.
wols: let me check if github gives free hosting for svn
cloudgeek: limited if you setup a team account for a trial period. Free for single users
cloudgeek: oh - maybe because i'm already signed in. Oh well
somsip: we are 3 guys , we are working on the app deveopment, using svn which is best solution for us
cloudgeek, I heard Linus Torvalds made git
cloudgeek: ok - see you need team collaboration. fair enough
somsip, he, himself and hehe
jagginess: but i am using java , but for most things i use git only
cloudgeek, well apache.org has stuff, maybe ant (there's probably ant-addon capability for the eclipse IDE)
somsip: ya we working for an NGO app ,that will be free
cloudgeek, (eclipse and ant are tools for java development)
jagginess: yep i using them
jagginess: but how we can share and commit out code
cloudgeek, "ant" ?
our code
jagginess: okay
cloudgeek, dunno, maybe there's a git plugin for eclipse
hi, I have one very important porblem related to upstart. My sample.conf and sample.sh are here http://www.bpaste.net/raw/chfJp8rB37ci5HKgbymF/. when i do sudo initctl emit sample, it hangs my computer. I have to restart it manually. please help. am i doing it right?
wols: are you still there?
yes
the_dark_knight, what is that for? you'll definitely be safer using a crontab job for a user
wols: I managed to start unity using xinit
There is a git plugin for eclipse. one sec.
duh, i already told him
that's his homework :)
s/There is/There IS/ (I'm responding to your "maybe"
wols: the file you request can be found here: pastebin.com/4EMgfGGi
)
i dont think he wasn't listening to me.. but he knows better what he wants to do exactly.. :) lol
cloudgeek: you say git is okay for you? https://bitbucket.org/
Given that I suspect that's true, probably better to give him the "for skeptical noobs"-designed GitHub page on the topic rather than the mess of old solutions in search results.
hi guys - I'm now storing my ssh keys in a new location in /etc . how do I get selinux to allow sshd permission to read it ?
http://eclipse.github.com/
sandGorgon, if you enabled selinux, you need to reboot it, and update the selabel across the / drive
jagginess: but with cron I'll have to restart it for like per min. I want my process sample.py to be always up and running. you get the point? should I be doing initctl start sample. right?
the_dark_knight, do you know what cron is? It sure doesn't sound like you do. You can specify repeats with cron
kristenbb: have you connected your monitor via hdmi cable? if you specify the res manually in xorg.conf (run nvidia-settings) it should work
the_dark_knight: then start it as a user's script. not upstart
wols: i don't understand what you're talking about regarding "res manually", sorry. But yes it's a hdmi cable.
cron can allow user task jobs...
kristenbb: display resolution.
wols: so what am I to do exactly ?
How  can I get 120hz, anybody know?
jagginess: from what I know and have used , cron will schedule some jobs periodically. say do run sample.sh everyday at 11AM, like that. But with upstart I want sample.py to run always. Even when it gets aborted for some reason i want it to restart it again.
kristenbb, look in the menu for arandr or use xrandr in the cli
wols: I am not getting  it.
jagginess: have you looked at his xorg log?
jagginess: what??
the_dark_knight: what you want to do, upstart is the wrong place
jagginess: what's a 'arandr', 'xrandr', 'cli' ?
kristenbb, arandr is a gui frontend for xrandr, xrandr/arandr do the same thing-- change screen res
wols: so what should I do then?
the_dark_knight: do a cronjob which check if your script is already running. if it's not, make the cronjob start it. let the cronjob do this every 5 minutes
wols: I don't think cron is the option?
jagginess: I still don't understand what I should do
wols: i can't afford to stop for 1 min.
kristenbb, look with your package manager for 'randr', see if there's a<>randr and install that, it would be in the menu somewhere..once you install that, you do the click click from the menu
the_dark_knight: then why is your script stopping in the first place?
wols: which script?
the_dark_knight, the python one
lol
the_dark_knight: your python script you talk about?
jagginess: you mean I should install a new software just to change my screen resolution? I'm sorry, I don't understand.
wols: jagginess, suppose if gearmand stops. it will stop. sample.py is nothing but a gearman worker.
gearman worker? wtf is that? lol
hahhhahahhaa
How can I get 120hz, anybody know?
the_dark_knight: so you want something to monitor gearman and restart iot if it stops?
mN-, driver and monitor have to support it.
mN-, if you using cheap fallback driver, you won't get high hertz
somsip: yes
jagginess: yea it does, i can only raise it to 100hz however through nvidia, but in win7 i can get the full 120hz
mN-, how big is your screen?
the_dark_knight: then start gearman inside a script which immediately starts it again if it stops for whatever reason
Is extras.ubuntu.com down?
the_dark_knight: same would apply to your python script, et
somsip: I want some of my gearman workers to be allways running. they should restart after reboot, also if fail/abort they should restart on their own
*etc
jagginess: hmm i think it's 23inches
jagginess:  1680x1050
whitman: it's a normal web/ftp server. why don't you check for yourself?
mN-, you using "nv" or "nvidia", maybe you should try the "nvidia" driver
wols: I am sorry. I don't understand the "inside a script which immediately starts it again if it stops " part
wols: Do you mean use upstart for this.
wols, I have, I can't connect but it could be a localised issue rather than being unavailable for everyone
the_dark_knight: while (1) do: run gearman;
the_dark_knight, i think cron may be able to do that.. to restart a task if it dies out prematurely
whitman: http://www.downforeveryoneorjustme.com/
jagginess: no it won't
jagginess:  im using NVIDIA binary Xorg driver (prop. ,tested)
whitman, hey you know that book you wrote, 'leaves of grass', the poems don't rhyme.. it's quite a shame
mN- tried the nvidia-settings gui tweaker?
jagginess:  what was the command?
mN- and ask it to save a .nvidia<> in ~ .. if you can get a 120Hz with the tool, you can script nvidia-settings to auto-apply ~/.nvidia<>ttings
mN- , nvidia-settings
mN- , or use nvidia-<tab><tab>
mN- , it probably is in the menu
jagginess:  yea i was able to get 100hz from there instead of the 60hz
jagginess:  but not 120hz
mN-, see if there are edid errors, maybe you have a long cable that isnt very good
mN-, (/var/log/Xorg.0.log
)
wols: jagginess, I can solve it by cron but I don't like the option of monitoring at least per minute.
Can someone please help me regarding my issue with the nvidia driver ? The system fails to boot properly, and says 'the system is running in low graphics mode. your screen, graphics card, and input device settings, could not be detected correctly, you need to configure them yourself'
the_dark_knight, well you can show your #python script and people may suggest the best way to overcome and premature freeze/etc..
the_dark_knight, if it's a buggy script then you'd expect it to be very problematic with anything starting it
the_dark_knight: I just gave you pseudocode above
MBR problem while installing OS .Plz Help me !
polp, pop in boot-repair iso , it'll work after click click
pop it
pop it
jagginess: do you know anything about respawn. there has to be a way other than cron. I mean mysqld is like what I wanted.
wols: which pseudocode?
jagginess:  there are but more like warning regarding my usb keyboard and mouse
jagginess: ? , plz explain it clearly
mN-, do you get anything saying 120Hz detected?
is extras.ubuntu.com is down ?
polp, google "boot-repair iso" download that iso from sourceforge and boot with it.. it's very easy to use
polp, you know how to burn an .iso right?
hi
Can someone please help me regarding my issue with the nvidia driver ? The system fails to boot properly, and says 'the system is running in low graphics mode. your screen, graphics card, and input device settings, could not be detected correctly, you need to configure them yourself'
i have problem with ubuntu 12.10
jagginess: his MBR problems are with windows 7, with ubuntu he has "can't read from CD" issues
jagginess:  ok !
kristenbb: nvidia-settings
oh well that boot-repair has been said it can fix windows problems too, but i never did use it for that
wols: yes?
polp, maybe your cd drive is poop .. it's easy to make a usb ubuntu-installer with pendrive's usb universal maker
kristenbb: run it
wols: done
polp: did you check your CD integrity as I told you?
jagginess: can i use LIVE USB ubuntu , to solve MBR problem
wols:  yup ! but it don'r work
polp, if you can do usb-boot, you can use pendrive's usb maker for the boot-repair iso probably.. (i'll check)
hey .. it's my my third day . in linux ! is there any channel for newbies ? :p
cuore_: not a particular one. but we're happy to help with any ubuntu problems. there is also ##linux
polp, there's an option of 'Try unlisted iso' with pendrive usb maker..
wols: so I did open it, but what am I to do with it?
kristenbb: I won't hand hold and force feed
wols:  actually , while working on fedora , i accidently copied my MBR on my fedora using dd command
apt-get update fails
polp, the ubuntu-live may have the boot-repair app contained in it.. dunno
kristenbb: if you are unable to use a GUI program, you need to take a beginners course at your local community college
wols: I'm sorry I have a ubuntu problem, my system doesn't start, and I have no idea how to fix it, it's why I come here for help, I have no idea what to do?
it says extras.ubuntu.com connection fail
jagginess: d'nt worry jagginess  , i will try boot it
polp, but why use a tool that's not safe? next time use boot-repair :)
wols: jagginess, somsip , what is wrong with this script http://www.bpaste.net/raw/I31h8yLK629ioNwgJ8ge/  . When I do start sample it gives " Unknown job error"
polp, you sure there's a problem with either the drive or cd?
the_dark_knight: don't ask me.
wols: but why am I to do to make it work ? I don't know what to do, my system is broken.
jagginess: i think  with hard disk , while installing OS using live USB ,MBR  Error : can't find where am i now
the_dark_knight, i think it's more than that.. http://upstart.ubuntu.com/wiki/
here is past http://paste.ubuntu.com/1322876/
apt-get update fails
wols: thX .. and my first prb : i'm using ubuntu classic mode 11.04 with compiz .so if  i upgrade to 11.10 will i lose the compiz config ,.if not:will it work fine with ubuntu11.10?
compizconfig does work with 11.10
jagginess: do you think i can change refresh rate from " gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf " somehow
savio: looks like the site is down or your connection dropped. Can you access http://extras.ubuntu.com in a browser?
however, 11.10 migrates to gnome3.. and you should be better off upgrading straight to 12.04 at least :)
savio: http://www.downforeveryoneorjustme.com/extras.ubuntu.com
cuore_: while upgrade , it'll simultaneously upgrade all packages including compiz .Don't worry .But i'm not sure which Desktop environment are you using .
wols, somsip try to update apt-get
savio: the repo is down
cuore_: in gnome 3 , compiz effect don't work .only support gnome 2 and unity
my problem is still not solved :(
somsip, must be some stupid company hosting it
polp: i'm in gnome 2
wols: cuore_  so , go on . Ahha !
Hey folks, I have a mac mini with 12.04.  I use pm-suspend to put the little guy to sleep, and I would like to be able to wake him up with the remote.  I've set /sys/bus/usb/devices/usb*/power/wakeup to enabled.  No go.  Can anybody point me in the right direction?
mN-, if you don't see 120Hz in the X log, you will never be able to get it
mN-, pastebin your x log.. maybe it's there..
Can someone please help me regarding my issue with the nvidia driver ? The system fails to boot properly, and says 'the system is running in low graphics mode. your screen, graphics card, and input device settings, could not be detected correctly, you need to configure them yourself'
crizis: polp : the update-manager indcate that i can upgrade to 11.1 not 12.04
well, yes, you gotta upgrade to 11.10 first.
kristenbb, make sure kms is not disabled (if you didnt then see if the x log says nvidia driver is failing to load)
you can only skip versions when upgrading if you upgrade from lts to lts
cuore_: correct. you can only update to the next ubuntu version or lts version and never skip versions in between
jagginess: I don't know how to interpret the x log, but I pastebined it. I don't know what 'kms' is.
crizis: wols  thx guys  .. :)
cuore_: well, i big suggestion from my side .Some time even if you upgrade , your compiz will not working correctly according to hardware .So, try to install fresh OS
hello
hiii
route add default ???
polp: what d u mean " fresh OS " ?
Harry_123, you on the road with jack?
cuore_, i think he means debian (*ouch)
polp: ubuntu 12.10 OS
who jack?
Harry_123, the song, hit the road jack,, as in route <> :)
Harry_123, route add default "sing Hit the road jack"
will dkms package solve recompling of vmware when kernel update
jagginess: cuore_ : fresh OS means new .iso (to which you want to upgrade)
savio: yes, that's what it does. if your VMWAre is DKMS aware
I want to add a single machine routing
polp, are you using a live-linux?
192.168.1.224 to ppp0. Vpn interface
jagginess:  here it is: http://pastebin.com/RUBBVhh4
Can someone please give me real help rather than incomprehensible tech words ? I am a total linux newbie and I just installed my system and I want my graphic card to work, and it doesn't.
kristenbb: with your approach this won't ever work
clear
#clear
wols: with what approach?
mN-, doesn't this look wrong "(--) RandR disabled" ? (can you post your xorg.conf too if you're using one?)
yeah ill post it
wols: I am lost, you told me to open a software but then didn't tell me what to do with it.
hi
hi
CLEAR
kristenbb: so let's try this...when you say the systems fails to boot properly, can you explain
mN-, cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log |xclip   , mid-mouse button pastes (can use pastebin if you want to do the whole thing)
kristenbb: if you don't have any initiative of your own, it's the equivalent of a toddler sittind down, crying for mommy to force feed him. this won't work. if you don't want to act yourself, bring your comptuer to some expert and let them fix it for you
somsip: yes, sure. I mean that it does boot, but at one point it stops loading (the login screen doesn't appear), and instead a window appears and says:
gin-Orange
what version of ubuntu and what video card?
somsip: 'the system is running in low graphics mode. your screen, graphics card, and input device settings, could not be detected correctly, you need to configure them yourself'
mN-, cat /etc/X11/xorg.org |xclip (and midmouse button pastes-- dont paste in here please)
is it possible to get windows xp like blue scrollbars in ubuntu 12 using gtk3
kristenbb: clicking on a GUI with a mouse is doesn't need an expert, doe sit?
kristenbb: what version of ubuntu and what video card?
mN-, cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf |xclip (and midmouse button pastes-- dont paste in here please)
mN-, (sudo apt-get install xclip  , if you wish)
somsip: the version is 12.04 and the video card is nvidia gtx 680
jagginess: yes
kristenbb: is this a new install or did you make some changes to an existing install that broke something?
somsip: it's a new install, but I did try something to be able to take advantage of my video card. I went to the dash and typed 'additional drivers', and installed the first one (proprietary driver)
somsip: and after rebooting, that's when it stopped working
mN-, comment out the horiz and vertrefresh lines, as well as line 57 and 58.. (use # at start of those 4 lines )
mN-, we can try to use wide desktop setting later
ok
Hi everyone. I have a quick question: I've recently upgraded from 12.04 to 12.10 and in the Software Sources preferences in the "Other Software" tab i have 3 disabled checkboxes with the mention "disabled on upgrade to quantal". My question is if this means that BEFORE the upgrade, they were enabled?
kristenbb: kristenbb this seems to be a comon issue and a number of solutions are given here. Have you tried any of these? http://askubuntu.com/questions/141606/how-to-fix-the-system-is-running-in-low-graphics-mode-error
jagginess:  what then? i wrote " # option "ster..."
Ampersand, correct. probably PPA
from 12.04 on bluetooth is not being handled correctly
Ampersand: Yes, third party repositories are always disabled as one of the first steps in upgrading.
and it's safe to re-enable them then?
yes, they're all PPAs (launchpad and dropbox)
can I install ubuntu from minimal iso on a pppoe connection?
yeah.. disable the ppa's when upgrading.. you can rename the .list to a .list_dis
Ampersand, check if there are PPA builds for 12.10
(in the sources.d folder)
whenever I suspend/hibernate resume the bluetooth devices cannot reconnect
jagginess, they are automatically disabled on version upgrade, so no need
sorry, could you tell me how to do that (check for PPA builds for 12.10) ?
jagginess, did you mean sources.list.d ?
bazhang, i dunno, i spent 3 hours a few days ago doing things like this.. you talking about upgrading from cd?
Ampersand, just go to the PPA search page on launchpad
somsip: no I didn't. Am I to take the first answer ? It mentions it's only a 'workaround' but doesn't really solve the problem, is this my best option?
jagginess, any upgrade will disable the PPA.
bazhang, the upgrade failed upgrade.d (full instruction was followed, so i had to manually upgrade..)
somsip: and what is the problem anyway, why is it that installing a new driver would break the unity greeter?
kristenbb: reas through it and look for a solution that seems to fit with your particular problem. Some mention ATI video cards. These clearly do not apply to you. I see nothing in there that will break anything, and it's likely you will learn something in the process of working throguh these to see what works
the only way to solve it is to reboot or to restart X
Ampersand, the easiest way is to look at the PPA name, then search that name/that package/PPA in a search engine to bring you to the page
I'm on the launchpad.net site right now. I have to search in the searchbox "private-ppa" ?
kristenbb: thuogh you could just reinstall nvidia-current, just in case that's an easy fix too
I'm not sure on what the name is
private-ppa.launchpad.net/comm
mN-, i use 12.10, use ctl-alt-Fn
Ampersand, or simply look at software sources and check the PPA name there.
ah, I see, ok, I'll do that, thank you
can I install ubuntu from minimal iso on a pppoe connection?
somsip: how can I do that?
hello all
i installed ubuntu along side with windows 7
somsip: I actually managed to get to unity using xinit. But if I try to install another driven, it says permission denied
but everytime when i log on pc
i cant get any option to
boot ubuntu
kristenbb: in a terminal, sudo apt-get --reinstall install nvidia-current
everytime
windows opening
whats wrong with me?
mN-, yeah
and I have one more Q abouit the PPAs: is any PPA that's listed on the launchpad site safe? I mean, I do read a lot of articles on various websites, recommending to install various software from PPAs, but to check if they're indeed safe, it's enough that they're listed on launchpad that being an indication that it's safe?
can anyone help me?
an, I see... so, to ensure 100% safety, no PPAs should be used ;))
Ampersand: that's the official line
I see
ok, thanks a lot for your help
somsip: I tried reinstalling it, and rebooted, the error is still the same
kristenbb: and...? What will you do next?
Why does GTK3 think that it is above xmodmap?
 /scowl
somsip: well i don't know? I think it's interesting to try to install another driver, but it says i don't have the rights. How can I change that?
kristenbb: you could try doning what I suggested and looking at the webpage I found for you. If you want to install drivers, use sudo apt-get in a terminal
somsip: sudo apt-get followed by what? I wanted to use the gui called 'additionnal drivers', but I can't change the 'current version' that is selected
kristenbb: no idea. I don't use that
can someone tell me how upstart compares to systemd and/or link me to some nice docs?
kristenbb: sudo apt-get install {driver} if you want to do it the CLI way
somsip: {driver} being the driver's name, right? but how to know its name?
kristenbb: you said you wanted to install something. You must know the  something you want to install
somsip: no, not its exact name, I just said maybe it was worth a try to install other drivers, given that this one doesn't seem to work. But i don't know the other drivers names
I installed xen, and booted into xen kernel. however when I want to go back to the other kernel, it says "/bin/sh: libc6.so: no such file file or directory" or such. how do I fix that?
kristenbb: then maybe follow some instructions from other people who have solved this. On the website. That I gave you before. "Maybe"s are all well and good, but you've admitted you're a novice. Why not try some possible fixes from people who have BTDT
How to get 120hz in ubuntu?
somsip: because they themself said it was not a solution, just a workaround, so I wanted to try it last..
somsip: but ok i'll try it
ubuntu one is very slow, is there any log or some that I can find what's ubuntu one going on?
kristenbb: you read one fix. Look at the others.
How to get 120hz in ubuntu?
somsip: which one? none was selected has being the answer  to the question, and I don't want to break it even more...
somsip: should I try the second solution then?
kristenbb: And that's me done. Good luck
hoy
How can I configure dhclient to keep requesting a lease until the end of time, on a reboot?
somsip: this linux thing is not easy, there are not these problems with Windows. i am trying really hard to fix it, but I'm not as good as you, sorry.
thanks for trying anyway
I installed xen, and booted into xen kernel. however when I want to go back to the other kernel, it says "/bin/sh: libc6.so: no such file file or directory" or such. how do I fix that?
Kartagis: sounds like you did more than install the xen kernel
sounds like a lot has changed

blazemore: no, but using sudo before solved it, thanks. I'm downloading a new driver, the one I had was not working. I hope it will solve my issue
How can I use a keyring manager on Openbox?
So I don't have to type my ssh passphrase every time
blazemore: is there any good keyring password manager?
ak5: That's what I'm asking
Oh, so you don't have one in mind?
I create ssh keys with passphrase and then have them in .ssh/config
sorry, without passphrase
You can use GNOME keyring without the rest of GNOME
hi
I need an ssh passphrase in case my key is stolen
Why cant I login into tty1... with my username?
I just want it to be unlocked when I log in
mN-: Because you're typing your username and/or password wrong
blazemore: if my username is Donkey Kong and pw lol
and i type both in and nothing happends, incorrect password
mN-: Usernames don't usually have spaces in
What's the output of "whoami" on a terminal?
blazemore: ah okay thanks :P
it works now, didnt know about the space thing
is +1 up and running yet?
mN-: Your actual username is different from the "Full Name" or "real name" on the account
hi, i am new to ubuntu and opensource.
blazemore: yeah.. jagginess told me im an idiot and quit when i said i cant login with Donkey Kong :<

Spazz_Attak: read the URL ubottu just sent
Spazz_Attak, read the links provided.  then tinker and report

I'm trying to open port 873 but it's not working - I ran "/sbin/iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 873 -j ACCEPT"
But telnet 1.2.3.4 873 from another machine shows "No route to host"
hello
helo sir
How did you manage the name "john"? I'm impressed
Kartagis, it is also provided by libc-xen, which is a dependency of xen-hypervisor. maybe it has something to do with library load path
not sure lol
Yay I fixed  it, I have 120hz now!
mN-: Were you asking about that yesterday?
yeah
Kartagis: I suspect you have made a mistake somewhere or not seen somethin on screen
blazemore: They only helped me get nvidia-settings. but it worked after I modified xorg.conf saying 1680_1050_100 to 1680_1050_120, and then in tty1 just sudo service stop lightdm; service start lightdm
_cronus_: libc6-xen is also installed
so thanks to you too blazemore ^_^
sudo service stop lightdm? Does that work
I assumed it was sudo service lightdm stop
yeah i meant that
misspelled
I have a /lib/i386-linux-gnu/libc.so.6, if that helps
Kartagis: are you using 32bit ?
yes
Kartagis: ok, so you are probably missing a symlink to /lib
Kartagis, yes, that's what i mean. there are 2 libc.so.6 files in your system. maybe it tries to load the wrong one. ldd /bin/bash may give you a hint which one it tries to load.
ikonia: from where?
Kartagis: think about it
Kartagis: what you've got and what I'v ejust said
_cronus_: it tries to load /lib/i386-linux-gnu/tls/i686/nosegneg/libc.so.6, which I also have
blazemore:  instead of Option "metamodes" "1680x1050_120 +0+0; nvidia-auto-select +0+0", I just wrote Option         "metamodes" "1680x1050_120 +0+0"
. I hope it stays after reboot, too
Kartagis, you are running the xen-enabled kernel when you run this command right?
_cronus_: I've just thought that
Hey guys! Has anyone figured out a good way to get Beats speakers on a laptop working with Ubuntu?
Mornin' all.  :)
berdy: Surely they'd just work? It would depend on the audio interface not the speakers
I have an HP Pavillion dv7 with two main Beats speakers, two regular by the touch pad, and a "sub" that's beats
blazemore, they don't
sound quality is shit
just using the two upfront that aren't beats
inb4 "That's because they're Beats"
Kartagis, try sudo ldconfig
blazemore, so is there no solution for it yet?
berdy: echo "options snd-hda-intel model=lenovo" | sudo tee -a /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf > /dev/null
yes lenovo
then, do I restart?
Or log out and back in again?
Do you folks discuss Kubuntu here or is there another channel for that?
_cronus_: do I do anything else afterwards?
This one is more active DJ_U|Laptop , and a lot of problems aren't specific to KDE
roger, thanks.  :)
So ask your question and if #kubuntu would be more appropriate someone will say so
blazemore, do I need to restart anything now?
Well, the one issue I have isn't specific to KDE, it seems to be the display/backlight.  it's a known issue though it seems.
berdy: yes reboot
Kartagis, reboot to your previous kernel.
brb
pretty sure it's related to the GMA4500M display adapter I have.

Hi, I'm using ubuntu 12.04 and my computer is getting stuck in the splash screen when I'm trying to shutting it down (it didn't use to do this).. I would like to investigate to know what is going on, so where can I find the shut down's logs? thanks
Kartagis, an invalid kernel state usually
hsnmck: Try holding shift
when booting
you'll get the recovery menu
Kartagis, which means... anything out of the ordinary

hsnmck, in logviewer go for sys.log
I'm pretty sure there is

Theres that too

hello. LN across directories doesn't work here. I have to be in the directory where the link will go and use "ln -s ../../target link-foo". why could that be?

blazemore: i mean it has all the icons "dash, home, browser..."

anyone ?
blazemore: the vertical bar on your left
You can't configure it
I know right

it doesnt work
You *can't* configure it
That is it, all it can do is launch applications
I currently have thunderbird set to use my ISP's SMTP server to send emails. Is it possible to configure command-line email programs to do the same?
sure MestreLion. you could use ssmtp or a fully fledged postfix or exim
I've seen the horizontal launcher on google
blazemore: i want it to run from the bottom of my desktop rather than on the left. it occupies too much space
MestreLion: Naturally, I recommend mutt
I saw in someone's yakuake, there were some indicators at the bottom which displayed temperature, processor clock for each core and user name, ip etc. Can anyone tell me what needs to be added to get that ?
rsv: You can't
for "command-line email programs" i mean tools like mail or sendmail (or whatever MTA/MUAs are common in Ubuntu/Linux world)
blazemore: okay
rsv: Install XFCE or KDE if you want a more usable and configurable desktop
Funny how the Unity dock is less configurable than the Mac one
MestreLion: use ssmtp/msmtp/nullmailer
anyone having any problems with suspend/hibernate-> resume and bluetooth ?
blazemore: so right now ubuntu runs what? gnome

Muelli / llutz: any of these tools will allow command line emails to automatically use my ISP's SMPT ?

Yes, lluttz, what do you think of this concept as a way of learning to admin your Ubuntu servers?
MestreLion: if you only want to send email, don't bother with all this. use sstmp and make your mail client send mails to the ssmtp server spawned on localhost
ls
file not found
Ok. fair enuff!
Muelli: hummm... so ssmtp creates an smtp server at localhost? so I could set up thunderbird to localhost? wow...
I wasn't planning on chaning tb's config... I would at first just copy its smtp settings to whatever solution you pointed... but "localhost" is quite tempting :)
does that also mean that *any* software that tries to send email through localhost will now work? :D
oh, wait a second MestreLion. ssmtp doesn't spawn a server. You would have to make postfix or exim to do that.  ssmtp is "only" a program to send mails via a relay
and yes, it's a bit messy. Even in 2012.
http://paste.ubuntu.com/1323099/
can  anyone help me?
MestreLion: be carefull, ssmtp does not queue mails. you don't want this for more than just systemmails
what's the url to the netboot for 11.10 ?
sdfdafadfsadad: you may need to restore grub. follow here: http://askubuntu.com/questions/27155
is it -> http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/feisty/main/installer-i386/current/images/netboot/netboot.tar.gz
Haris: no
Kartagis, i thought of something else. there is a link in /lib/ld-linux.so.2 that points to the library loader.
its http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/oneiric/main/installer-amd64/current/images/netboot/netboot.tar.gz
Haris: http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/oneiric/main/installer-i386/current/images/netboot/netboot.tar.gz
Haris: if you want the i386 version
llutz: what is queueing useful for?
Haris: and why not 12.04 or 12.10?
MestreLion: i cant go to ubuntu how to "sudo grub-install --root-directory=/media/UBUNTU /dev/sda " ?
sdfdafadfsadad: using a live cd / usb
ok i have windows 7 already
MestreLion: if the receiving smtp-server is not reachable, a "real" (queueing) mailserver tries to deliver the mails later, ssmtp won't - it drops the mail
MestreLion: now i put ubuntu boot cd then what should i do?
sdfdafadfsadad: I mean an *Ubuntu* Live CD/USB boot
the one wanting this box wants 11.10 specifically
In addition to the Trash problem, PCManFM doesn't automount removables!

Hi, how to make so that the  fullscreen in flash application (youtube, dailymotion,...) working correctly, thanks !

sdfdafadfsadad: do you know how to burn a CD and boot using it?
MestreLion: iirc it logs to syslog, yes
MestreLion: yes even i installed ubuntu already on D
but i cant log on ubuntu

Well, I just recently installed xubuntu on my system, and I keep getting crash reports
Everything seems to crash here, I don't know why though.. is it just me?
Like, I get "Sorry, the program java closed unexpectedly" or, "Sorry, Ubuntu 12.04 has experienced an internal error"
or its just a single report thats nit gettung cleared out bar_
Hi. I am trying to configure two gateways in ubuntu. Hoping that my connections will be balanced. Any simple script available?
that is odd...
hi
dr_willis: I see an internal error with a package named: xfce4-panel, the problemType: Crash
hateball, am i alone with this bug ?
vpmurdan: You cant configure two gateways expecting things to work at all.
vpmurdan: IP expects one default gateway only.
rcspam: Probably not, I just wanted to get some more details from you, if anyone else has any idea. I don't run nvidia myself so I don't know of any specific issues there. Are you using 32-bit or 64-bit?
hateball, 64-bits
rcspam: with native 64-bit flash or the nsplugin-wrapper?
bar_: is it crashing often.  or are you just seeing a report message?
hateball, 64-bit flash
It's not just that dr_willis, everytime i turn my computer on it gives me a different crash report..
dr_willis: I'm not sure if it's crashing often or not, I'll close this message and see if I get any more of those reports
rcspam: manually installed with the tar installer or?
hateball, apt
id have to suggest running memtest for a while to verify ram. and a good  cleaning. and test with a live cd or usb to try to narrow it diwn bar_
llutz / Muelli: I've installed ssmtp and it looks like this is indeed exactly what I need. But it's curious that, since it is not a daemon or require sudo, it does not have a per-user config file..
rcspam: It's been a long time since I used that myself. Does that actually use 64-bit now? It used to grab the 32-bit flash
heh MestreLion. Feel free to patch it ;-)
rcspam: running "file /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so" in a terminal should tell if it's 32-bit or 64-bit anyhow
dr_willis: I tried the live cd and got these issues too , I thought installing it would help it work better, but I'll try to run memtest
dr_willis:Where do I get it though?
its on the boot menu of the live cd somewhere
hateball, i use 64-bit
Muelli: I probally will... its usually not hard to. But I wonder... I'm sure i'm not the first one to ask / want this, so why its not done already? It looks like a very popular package (and oh, btw, thank you guys!!!!)
anyone have any experience with the battery indicator for gnome?
mine shows that im alwas fully charged, which is definetely not the case
how to ctags in the directory "/usr/include"? Direct "ctag -R *"  command can not refer all function
MestreLion: *shrug* don't know. I don't think it's a very highly demanded feature. If you have separate SMTP servers for separate users, you probably have a bigger installation and then run your own MTA anyway.
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=181315
rcspam: Well ok, then I guess it might be something with the nvidia driver or some such. I have no issues with 64-bit flash + intel.... so maybe someone else here knows more
Hola
From 2003
hateball, thanks, this appens since several distribution, perhaps a card problem
Thanks for your help dr_willis
Muelli: even using the same smtp server for all users (say, gmail), their auth settings are surely personal... and it looks a bit awkward to set up a personal password in /etc
MestreLion: I agree. But it's probably not meant to be configured with a "personal" SMTP server. Rather the ones from your ISP. Or college. Or company.
hateball, fullscreen is working with troubles in youtube html5 ... so thank i think it's probaly a hardware problem
but my ISP's smtp (and I guess many college's and company's too) require login and password to send emails
rcspam: ok

jonjo: console or X?
^[[C^[[D^[[A^[[B
console
MestreLion: i tried sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras to install codec, but when terminal asking my password i cant type 12345
its a server without x
sadasdasdas: have you tried using NumLock key?  :P
yes
jonjo: do they not work at all, or produce other characters?
other characters
df
^[[C^[[D^[[A^[[B << like that
ooops
MestreLion: not only numpad key i cant type number anywhere on terminal
jonjo: try "stty reset"?
tthose look like escape  codes.
sadasdasdas: this is very weird, and I have no idea. But you can always boot using the recovery mode and change this password to something more meaningful
reset is an invalid argument
jonjo: try "echo $SHELL" as the user?
/bin/sh
sh? should be bash...
jonjo: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=6997842&postcount=3
jonjo: carefully edit your password file and change "/bin/sh" to "/bin/bash" for the line with your user name no it
er... user name on it
jonjo:  is this a vpn , vps or other unusual setup?
you can use the 'chsh' command to set the defsault shell. no needc to edit the file directly
oops
dedicated server
sorry, yeah, use chsh
so its a normal ubuntu server install you did to a desktop machine?
can Imake it work without logging back out?
run bash to get a bash shell.... as a test
thanks

"sh" is "bash" on Ubuntu, dr_willis I believe
i keep it upgraded and recently the login broke
i have to login twice everytime
1st time takes me back to login page

hi, I have a problem with my graphics card. I tried installing the property driver, but now I can't get to the log in screen
I notice, every so often, that my Ubuntu 12.04 running Gnome-Shell will switch from the default GNOME on-screen display to NotifyOSD bubbles ... This appears to be a bug, but does anyone know of a way to make this change permanent?
can someone help me please with my driver issue ?
Hello, my cpu fan speed is driving me crazy, I was wondering if there was any way to make it go slower ( cpu temp is 20c ). Desktop pc.. Asus p5w dh deluxe motherboard.
kristenbb:  good idea to menttion your chipset when asking graphic issue questions
dr_willis: maybe i'd be eassier to mention it if i knew what it is :)
dr_willis: where can i find this info?
so you 'tried installing the driver' and you dont know what the card is? what did you try to install exactly?
lspci    should mention your video card.
dr_willis: I have a nvidia gtx 680 card, does that answer the 'chipset' question?
kristenbb:  so you have installed the 'nvidia-current' package?
dr_willis: yes I have
dr_willis: and even since, it fails to load the desktop properly
i seem to recall seeing '68' and nvidia issues befor. but never had one.
dr_willis: and ever* since, it fails to load the desktop properly
what does it do exactly? does the login screen work?
no it doesn't, an error message is displayed instead
OMG ... Ubuntu!
is still alive? Thought it chocked out with Unity ... seriously?
CodeRat: enough
not here, CodeRat
hi ikonia. Been a few years since I have seen you around.
dr_willis: it says: the system is running in low graphics mode. your screen, graphics card, and input device settings could not be detected correctly. you will need to configure these yourself
Onryo ;)
kristenbb:  tryed running the nvidia-settings tool?  'gksudo nvidia-settings' ?
dr_willis: no I didnt try it. but I can try. from there, what should i do?
kristenbb:  id also check the forums and askubuntu.com for that exxact chipset. there may be known work arounds or fixss for it
kristenbb:  i always   run nvidia-settings, configure my screens, then save the xorg.conf
install driver, reboot, run settings, configure it, restart x server... is all i normally do
Anyone know of way to speed up thumbnail rendering besides new hardware?

dear colleagues, HI; I have setup a VPN connection to a WIN server, however is does not work ...message is : VPN connection failed; anyone available to diagnose this issue ???
parapan: make the VPN software more verbose. check the windows eventviewer, etc
parapan: sniff the traffic of your software with wireshark, etc
load balancing with two network cards on linux.
wols: first of all, thank you; second , can I use dmesg for identifying this issue , if YES, what syntax do I use ?
Hi there
parapan: no you can not
possibly syslog but unlikely. check your vpn software and what parameters it has
i am new to ubuntu and i have spend the last few days installing and understanding the system
wols: grrr ...then I have to check into wireshark ???
can anyone help me with my problem?
no. into the documentation of your VPN software
ngt: only when you actually state it
will do
Can someone help me with my graphic card driver issue ?
my problem is that ever since I installed the recommended driver, the desktop fails to load, there's an error message instead
the error says: the system is running in low graphics mode. your screen, graphics card, and input device settings could not be detected correctly. you will need to configure these yourself.
kristenbb: short answer: nvidia-settings and change resolution. or hardwrite it into xorg.conf. other possibility: use a nvidia 30x.x driver from current ubuntu (i.e. upgrade to quantal)
wols: change it to what resolution?
how do I disable the nouveau kernel? I tried adding it to modprobe blacklist, launch ubuntu with 'nomodeset' but it will always be active
I'm trying to install nvidia drivers..
hey, can anyone help with ipv6 setup? I have the interface setup, I can ping my gateway and traceroute6 some stuff, but the ip is not reachable from outside it seems
kristenbb: whateevr your monitor uses as native
wols: is there any way I can know what my monitor uses as native?
py_can: then do it. unless you do it the bad way by going to nvidia.com
wols: what is bad about going to my vendors website to download drivers for linux?
kristenbb: look on your invoice for your monitor. even I know that you have a samsung something or ever
py_can: it breaks your ubuntu. it's not the way drivers are handled in linux. never were and hopefully never ever will be
okay. what do you suggest wols?
py_can: but you probably already have installed the crap from nvidia.com. good luck getting rid of it
wols: the installation wouldnt go trough because i couldnt get rid of nouveau
thanks for the good luck tho
wols: I tried changing the resolution there to the one of my screen, and rebooted, but the error is still there
got it network installed via the netboot archive
wouldn't work otherwise
w .. t .. h was that
lol

ok
dr_willis: it's not enabled by default, but it should be supported on recent versions of ubuntu (judging from the wording in the docs anyway, I haven't actually tried it)
jrib:  i just recall it mentioned at the upstart.ubuntu.com/cookbook docs. i thought i saw where it  was 'for the future'
but ive nevvver used it either. ;)
AdvoWork: 1) you can use a regex with locate so you don't need to grep 2) you can do something like: locate foo | while read -r file; do cat $file; done
find /home/files -type f -name db.php -exec cat {} \;
AdvoWork: or use find as bekks suggests

for the past few days
bug in the program would be my guess
the_dark_knight,  I may not have an answer, however, what is the .conf file for?
the_dark_knight: you need to enable user jobs in upstart
ngt could you pastebin the script that is calling sh ?
I am getting an error that my backup location is too small in deja dup, but it is 5gb and the backup will only be 85mb
jrib: not getting you.
the_dark_knight: upstart isn't configured to check user's ~/.init by default in ubuntu
the_dark_knight: afaik
jrib: modified .conf file http://www.bpaste.net/raw/i2Fs9WlAWgkzeAH3gz3e/. log prints it till " just before starting the worker"
the_dark_knight: you need to enable user jobs in upstart: http://bradleyayers.blogspot.com/2011/10/upstart-user-jobs-on-ubuntu-1110.html
how to use regular expression with aptitude to represent *
?
blackshirt: .* ?
or use it with apt-get
blackshirt: I thought the star was bare in aptitude
blackshirt: wine* is all the wine stuff
robbie: thats dont works
robbie: sorry but can you tell me how to do that.
ngt: go to http://paste.ubuntu.com/ and paste your script and then post the url here
robbie: jrib , new conf http://www.bpaste.net/raw/i2Fs9WlAWgkzeAH3gz3e/  why is it not running the exec. when I see my syslog it gives log till " just before starting the worker"
blackshirt: if you are calling it oddly you may need to escape the "*" .. wine\* ... Im not sure other than that -- I thought I just id this the other day
robbie: jrib , please help
the_dark_knight: please see the url I sent you
the_dark_knight: http://bradleyayers.blogspot.com/2011/10/upstart-user-jobs-on-ubuntu-1110.html
the_dark_knight: here's the page for playing with upstart -- Im sorry man, I dont actually use it: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/getting-started.html
robbie: it just helps regarding ther user services. but I can run the sample service now. just can't run the exec statement in it. please have a look at http://www.bpaste.net/raw/i2Fs9WlAWgkzeAH3gz3e/ .
blackshirt:  did it help ?
robbie: your url doesn't help regarding this, it helps for my previous problem regarding $HOME/.init
the_dark_knight: either put it in /etc/init or enable "user jobs" in upstart -- see the second link for the manual for upstart
robbie, wine? was works
the_dark_knight: the manual for upstart is all I can give you, sorry. that is the only program for running jobs from $HOME/.init
blackshirt:  heh
blackshirt:  and wine\* doesnt?
I am getting an error that my backup location is too small in deja dup, but it is 5gb and the backup will only be 85mb

blackshirt: it sounds like you are putting it in a script
dr_willis: ok hold on
it can't bring up the eth0 interface :[
netinstall is a mess, in that one has to struggle quite a lot with it to make it network capable
dr_willis: which command should I run. ls?
interface config for eth0 is ready in /etc/network/interfaces, yet its saying it cannot bring eth0 up
w .. t .. h is going on with it ?
the_dark_knight: or   echo   it works...
the_dark_knight: you need to change your logging message, it says "start" when it means stop
hmmm...  lubuntu doesn't seem to have a gui for startup applications.
robbie: ok but where is this script? sorry i am quite a noob.
the_dark_knight: the last logger line should be: logger "post-stop for sample"
ngt I dont know -- its the one that is giving you that error
did you now rudetube

yepwatermelon: wait i see now there was a real error in there
any ideas?
robbie: dr_willis , should I put "python sample.py" in a "sample.sh" and exec it?
yepwatermelon: can you uninstall libboost1.44-dev first?
guys, where does ubuntu keep the network mac address config ?
robbie: the error pop up and the text on it "There was an error launching the application. Details: Failed to execute child process "/home/ngt/sh" (No such file or directory) and there is an ok button. Nothing else
Haris: udev.
the_dark_knight:  id double check yout paths and permissions and script. perhaps put the command in your defualt Path
do I need to give the mac address in interfaces files to make it work ?
ngt you dont know what script is being run that is causing that?
Haris: You don't.
Haris: /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules
the gingers do have souls
:)
That just throws an error saying I have unmet dependencies. From there I run apt-get -f install and get the above error again. :S
the_dark_knight: I dont kow python, sorry
robbie:  unfortunately i don't understand what you mean by script. Try to google it but no luck
ngt you dont know what APPLICATION is being run that is causing that?
Unicenta oPOS
robbie: unicenta oPos
ngt: its just a random pop up interrupting your day or what?
dr_willis: robbie , I put "cd /home/magic/Documents  python Worker.py" in sample.sh and "exec sample.sh" and it works.
ngt oo
Hey all
robbie: nope i am trying to run this program which i install earlier but that is the error pop out.
So what should I do. I'm stuck in a loop here.. :/
what service do I need to restart for ubuntu to reload its network interface config ?
how can I google to find all squid.conf files publicly avail?
or the config mentioned in udev
ngt: Id contact them if I cant find the script they are using that is giving the error
ngt commercial software is well supported usually
nope it's actually free software
it's an Point of Sale software
ngt: did you see their web page? wow thats some nice looking free software :)
robbie: yup but not much help can be found on this matter.
ngt:  ok well .. if you want you can scan your syslog and see if you get lucky with a specific message from their software
robbie: though might try my luck here first
ngt: yea good luck sorry, without knowing the process causing the error its not easy to diagnose
the_dark_knight: congrats :)
I am getting an error that my backup location is too small in deja dup, but it is 5gb and the backup will only be 85mb
anyone know/use the default backup software for Ubuntu ?
robbie: thanks will try to look around and come back later. I am a windows user so it's kinda hard with ubuntu right now
robbie: Why?
robbie: I mean I have previously tried to put "python" in cron too. It didn't work either, I had to go with a shell script with python command. Wonder why I can't directly run python
Yeah I'm still stuck... :/
bekks: I am getting an error that my backup location is too small in deja dup, but it is 5gb and the backup will only be 85mb
robbie: So you are using deja dup then.
robbie: trying to remove it throws an unmet dependency error running apt-get -f install throws the error from earlier
yepwatermelon: what is the other application that is requiring libboost-dev?
bekks: its the default backup software in Ubuntu
robbie: libboost-dev
can ubuntu 10.04 install gstreamer 1.0?
yepwatermelon: what is the *other application* that requires libboost-dev?
robbie: gearman requires it.
robbie: sorry that was other discussion.
robbie: They're just dependencies required to compile another program.
the_dark_knight, yepwatermelon: whichever software that is, you might make a backup of it, and then uninstall it... install libboost1.46-dev and then reinstall the other software -- but I think you are going to find that it won't accept libboost1.46-dev, so you'll need to get the package from the source instead of from ubuntu
bekks: yeah, it's the default backup software in Ubuntu

hello
I am trying to install 12.10 64 bit onto this laptop but get a message telling me it requires an x86-64 but only has i686?  http://cdgenp01.csd.toshiba.com/content/product/pdf_files/detailed_specs/satellite_A105-S4284.pdfv
how do I go about changing the DE in ubuntu 12.10?
no /etc/inittab on ubuntu 11.10 ?
Haris: No.
where does it store the config with which I can tell it to boot in what init mode
i can't force myself to like unity
Haris: There are no initmodes anymore since Upstart.
how do I make it remain on console, rather than go to X after bootup ?
do we have runlevels ?
Haris: No. As just being told.
Disable the startup of the desktop manager in /etc/default/
I see
please, I have 2 NICs (network interfaces) connected on a router... One is connect on a PCI and another is on a miniPCI... How can I know which interface is connect on each device? I mean.. i wanna know if wlan0 is the network connect on a miniPCI or on PCI slot..
RxDx: Connect a cable and see which interface it is.
=> /etc/default/console-setup file ?
bekks: there is no cables.. they are both wireless interfaces
I think this ( https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions#Text%20Mode ) link is broken
Haris: Why do you think that?
RxDx: Just pull out one of them...
I see no such heading or point that it takes me to on the page, after this web page loads up
bekks: u mean.. ifconfig wlan0 down?
but how can i know if i pulled out the miniPCI or the PCI?
how do I switch to a gnome environment?
RxDx: By looking into your hands...
RxDx: No. I mean "pull it out of your computer".
bekks: on my hands i can see both.. but i dont know if the device that im looking for is the wlan0 or the wlan1
RxDx: Do you know the difference between PCI and miniPCI?
this is the CD's default options
bekks: hmm, its an option.. but is there any other way without take the card off?
its not options for installed OS
Haris: I just told you how to solve your problem.
bekks: yes.. but both uses the same driver
RxDx: And...?
(atk5) i guess
them i cannot differ them.. i mean.. i dont know if im looking for wlan0 is the miniPCI or the PCI device
RxDx: Do you know that PCI and miniPCI have different sizes when compared to each other?
bekks: I didn't understand the message
i need to know that because i wanna make wlan0 connect via adhoc with miniPCI device while wlan1 is an AP connect via PCI
there's nothing in what I read that relates to it
bekks: physical size? yes, i know
RxDx: Then pull out ONE of them...
RxDx: Where's the problem with that?
bekks: this routers could be installed on a remote location that i could not have physical access
RxDx: But now, you have access...
I can't find the relevant file under /etc/defaults/
Haris: So which desktop manager do you use?
bekks: ill have to do that way hehe.. thanks a lot :)
I don't want to use any. Just want it to boot into console/cli
Haris: So which do you use NOW?
I'v installed 11.10-server-64bit
Haris: And why did you install X on your server then?
I'm not sure. I'v just installed 11.10 from netboot. Can't see anything on KVM
I didn't tell it to install X
I wanted a basic, bare minimum install from network
Then there is no X installed. And no desktop manager. Your vm is bootinginto cli.
Haris: don't start a display manager.
wols: He didnt.
bekks: but he got X somehow or what?
when the box boots up, the KVM screen goes "No signal"
wols: No.
but when I send Alt+F4 macro to KVM, the display goes back to cli
Haris: Then boot into text mode as suggested.
Haris: nomodeset
I'm not sure what I was suggested
You were. :)
I can't find anything relevant under /etc/default
That has nothing to do with the text mode.
That only has something to do with not starting a desktop manager.
wols: there's nothing as "nomodeset" on cli on 11.10
ok
Haris: ? nomodeset is a kernel option, not a cliu command.
ah
hi all! I need to get 2 connections working...
there's no /etc/sysconfig on ubuntu. Where do I set this option
Haris: In the bootloader config.
ah, I'm going to have to read a lot about this. I'll let go of this one for now.
laptop--->wifi--->router--->internet AND laptop--->eth--->router--->eth--->PS3
second issue, the ciritical one, I have is, its not bringing up eth0 interface. I can't find the reason
ah that
Haris: what's in your /etc/network/interfaces ?
how can I get theese 2 connections works at same time?
ubh: Why do you want to connections to your router? Thats not necessary.
Hi, i created a bootable usb and set usb-zip (i tried usb-hdd also) as fist bootable device in the bios, but it doesn't work. The other day it worked with win8 on the same pen. Do you have any advice? Could you help me, please?
auto lo and auto eth0. then normal interface config under the auto eth0 line for eth0. pasting it
bekks: because I'm connected to the internet and laptop is near my router
ubh: And...?
bekks: PS3 is far from router
You dont need two connections, but only one.
LennyLinux: how did you create it?
bekks: ? explain please
I'm a bit n00b on networking
Hi
http://pastebin.com/ypZAKtUB3
ubh: laptop <- wifi-> router <- cable -> internet / ps3
correction
http://pastebin.com/ypZAKtUB
ubh: Thats all you need.
wols: i tried universal usb creator and now live linux usb creator.
Where can i see when apache will be upgrade to 2.2.23 on ubunti 12.04? We need the allowAnyURI and thats broken in 2.2.22
s/ubunti/ubuntu/
bekks: I don't understand at all... You maybe mean that with only one interface I can communicate with PS3 and also surf 'net?
How do I completely 'reset' the package manager, cause my retarded apt wants to downgrade to 12.04 after my dist-upgrade to 12.10..
it says, cannot find eth0. failed to bring up eth0
* ubh connected?
It does not need to be connected or cabled to bring it up
Hello. Is it only me, i couldnt upgrade from Precise Pangolin to Quantal Quetzal. I ended up installing a fresh copy of 12.10 of a different partition.
How do I reset/fix apt
I see it defined in /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules file
bekks: and if my laptop an ps3 are LAN Gbit and router only 100Mbps? I should connect via eth directly to the PS3 to have full speed, right?
Where can i see when apache will be upgrade to 2.2.23 on ubunti 12.04? We need the allowAnyURI and thats broken in 2.2.22
holaaaaa.................
heys
any ideas why its not finding eth0 ?
tinux: I'm not sure they will.. you might have to get the next version of ubuntu
tinux: ubuntu doesn't do rolling updates unless it's security stuff, iirc
Slart: hmm its 12.04LTS :) long term... yay
Haris, use ethtool to bring it up.
tinux, they won't upgrade the versions in already-released versions, bugs and security fixes get pushed in with patches and minor fixes
I have it disabled in bios. that's why it can't find it
I will make a bugreport
my! bad
tinux, they won't upgrade that to 2.2.23, but if you can find bugfixes that would fix it in 2.2.22 it could be SRU'd (and bugfixes are put in)
how can I set the font in indicator-messages? it is too dark except the very last line that says "clear"
Haris, fix it :)
They turned it of on 2.2.22 but didnt enable the option
how can I set the font in the messaging menu (indicator-messages)? it is too dark except the very last line that says "clear"
Hi, i created a bootable usb and set usb-zip (i tried usb-hdd also) as fist bootable device in the bios, but it doesn't work. The other day it worked with win8 on the same pen. Do you have any advice? Could you help me, please?
fixed that
I still can't connect to network with ti
how do i make apt-cache show information only the package that is installed and not all packages with given name?
how do I make ubuntu reload its network interface config ?
Haris: sudo service network restart
I'm already logged in as root, for now
I see
dont need sudo then.. but it wont hurt
:P
when I use the stop command
it says invalid interface or job
Haris: ifdown <interface> ifup <interface>
Haris: just start it then
Haris: what command do you run?
wols: I remember those ones :D
Haris: service network start
=> /etc/init.d/networking restart, /etc/init.d/network-interfaces restart
Check if the links are up, ethtool
Haris: I *think* networking and network-manager are subsystems and the main service is "network"
can you believe it, the server ISO/version doesn't come pre-installed with openss-server
I see
I mean the netboot one
Haris: you can remaster it to have it. The server install CD is there to install the server OS, so why would it be needed?
How can i create a startup usb stick from ubuntu-12.04.1-server-i386.iso ?
got it working
haris, you can install it manually
n00bie: use unetbootin, it runs on nearly everything
Hi, I installed text-only Ubuntu 12.04 32-bit on BTRFS as Virtualbox Guest and it is saying this error on Boot: "sparse file not allowed". After I hit enter it boot right. It is without installed drivers/VBox addons.
n00bie: server OS doesn't come with a desktop UI. Is that what you want?
how can one connect to the server remotely, if not via ssh ?
nikolam: I had that, no idea of the fix
Haris: install openssh-server on the system
ActionParsnip: hey, good morning
already done =)
Haris: then connect away
robbie: good night here :D
ActionParsnip, will see if it goes away after installing addons
ActionParsnip: i tried to boot into desktop verion of 12.04.1 i368 and using the startup media creator, but unfortunately it produces a corrupt result
=)
robbie: howdy
can i just install the 3.5 kernel with apt-get under 12.04 ?
n00bie: what video chip do you use?
VlanX: you may find a PPA but it won't be supported here as it's a 3rd party kernel
ActionParsnip: Im looking for help with indicator-messages -- do you know how I can change the text color of the submenus? for some reason they are dark on dark instead of like every other indicator
ActionParsnip: huh? nvidia gt 240?
VlanX: yes, sure
robbie: check font settings
n00bie: did you add the boot option:  nouveau.blacklist=1
ActionParsnip: how is it possible if 3.5 belongs to 12.10 ?
VlanX: its a later release, so has a later kernel
ActionParsnip: ok Ill search that thanks :)
I installed ubuntu 12.04.1 (64bit) yesterday and my laptop continued for 24 hours and many hours it was idle. I was been running 2-3 Applications vmware workstation(With 2 guests), Firefox  . Today again the all icons, menus,windows etc got ugly. I did not even able to take any screenshot because i can't click on K menu SO i forcefully reboot the system(So i again lost my all important works) . This happened on Ubuntu 32 before but the same proble
m in 64 bit too. Anyone can help me to fix this please?
Also PATA CD/DVD is not available in /etc/fstab after install (even if CD was inserted in the same PATA drive for install...)
check this out. I said service network restart. it says network: unrecognized service
ActionParsnip: nope thats another problem, im booting it with nomodeset, but there seems to be a bug in the startup media creator since i thought i used the most compatible verion and when i check the created usb drive with md5sum -c md5sum.txt there are missing files
lol
same for bare metal 640bit install and 32bit Vbox install from PATA DVD
o_O
Has anyone tried installing Ubuntu 12.04 .. then xfce-desktop, then completely removing Unity?
n00bie: you should add the nouveau.blacklist=1 so that you use fallback driver, you can then install the propriatary driver once installed and be ok
LucidGuy: Why not just install xubuntu?
ActionParsnip: so you suggest me to istall 12.04 rather than upgrade ?
LucidGuy: why uninstall Unity? It's  tiny
blazemore, because Xubuntu 12.04 only has 3 year support as apposed to 5
LucidGuy, it sounds to me like Xubuntu install. It has no Unity but everything works.
LucidGuy: maybe someone has trying to do that..why not you try it ?
VlanX: for me personally, clean install is always ideal (seen too many issues  with upgrades)
ActionParsnip: thanks, but thats not the problem in facing right now. i need to create a usb drive for server install with all the needed files . currently i get     md5sum: ./install/netboot/ubuntu-installer/i386/pxelinux.cfg/default: No such file or directory
is there a general resource on .desktop files?
ActionParsnip: k thank you :)
LucidGuy: Xubuntu 12.04 is supported as long as Ubuntu 12.04 is. Lubuntu 12.04 is not LTS
Clean install also has big issue if it is 12.4
n00bie: use TAB to autcomplete folder names.
ActionParsnip, Thats not ture.  Xubuntu is 3, Ubuntu is 5
food: if your work is 'impportant' why is it not backed up?
ActionParsnip: how would i do that_
ActionParsnip, It crashed before backed up because i just started.
ActionParsnip: i dont know where the correct file missing from the created usb stick would be located to copy it over
is there a general resource on .desktop files? like the files discussed here: http://askubuntu.com/questions/108060/is-it-possible-to-add-custom-items-to-system-settings-window
LucidGuy: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xubuntu#Xubuntu_12.04_LTS     states 5 years
n00bie: type a few letters of the folder name and hit tab,if a match exists it will be autocompleted
ActionParsnip: i dont understand how this would help with a missing file
n00bie: then the ISO is corrupted
LucidGuy: wait, you are right. My bad
ActionParsnip, http://xubuntu.org/getxubuntu/   first line of 12.04 description
ActionParsnip: the md5sum matches with the ones for the release versions
n00bie: then what are you MD5 testing?
LucidGuy: Lubuntu 12.04 isn't even ay LTS :( sad times
*any
LucidGuy: lts or not was not so important until you want support from canonical :D
ActionParsnip, have you ever tried Ubuntu for at least 24 hours with opened few windows?
food: sure, my server systems stay up for weeks and get all kinds of apps ran on them.
ActionParsnip, Desktop?
how to install gstreamer 1.02 on ubuntu 10.04??
food: yes, LXDE on one, my laptop is powered off at night
blackshirt, Im not interested in Canonical support..  I am interested in their repos keeping their software patched and upgrade for the entire 5 years
Any have a Dell Inspiron 5720 with wireless working?
ActionParsnip, What is your Laptop Model?
ActionParsnip: i am on ubuntu 12.04.1 i368 desktop, downloaded the ubuntu-12.04.1-server-i386.iso checked its md5, used the startup media creator to create an live usb drive without errors, mounted it and issued md5sum -c md5sum.txt in its root directory. there are 3 files missing from it, they simply are not there. thats my problem, how do i create an correct usb stick from the iso
food: Dell Lat D420
LucidGuy: yes, you get them :D
theuns: what wifi chip does it use?
LucidGuy: just do regular updates for your apt databases, and fetch the patch update you want
i use the latest 12.04 lts, when i drag my mouse on the top of the screen i get FILE, EDIT, ... which is essentially the task bar, it vanishes when the mouse is taken off, how to permanently enable them
ActionParsnip: with lshw i get product: Broadcom Corporation
guang_: http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=gstreamer0.10&searchon=names&suite=lucid&section=all    take your pick....
theuns: what is the output of:   lsb_release -sc
ActionParsnip, Well, my laptop is Dell xps L502x ....
ActionParsnip: precise
why does the title bar not update when you ssh somewhere in 64 ubuntu 12.04?
Does anyone here know how i can create an installer usb stick from ubuntu-12.04.1-server-i386.iso?
theuns: I recommend you get a wired connection and get updated, you can also install the driver much easier
n00bie: did you try unetbootin?
ActionParsnip:It is all about 0.10,not the version 1.0
ActionParsnip: yes it does not support that verion of ubuntu
ActionParsnip: the machine is wired, did all updates, but still no joy
guang_: then try a PPA
theuns: did you run:  gksudo jockey
n00bie: what files were missing?
n00bie: it doesn't support the server ISO?
ActionParsnip: no, will do so
theuns: read the link ubottu gave please, it also shows how you can install it in a terminal
ActionParsnip:where i can find the ppa?google?
ActionParsnip: ok, will do, what will gksudo jockey do?
question: if whereis tomcat7 gives me /etc/tomcat7/ and /usr/share/tomcat7, should I set TOMCAT_HOME to the former or the latter? there is also a /usr/share/tomcat7-root/
vfw, ActionParsnip these files are missing with the usb creator from the correcponding desktop verion     http://paste.ubuntu.com/1323624/
n00bie: How did you get that output?
n00bie: What command?
vfw i mounted the finished new usb stick, cd into its root and executed md5sum -c md5sum.txt
ActionParsnip: I did run gksudo jockey, but does not look like something happend?
vfw it runs fine until the end part of it which is the paste in question
vfw there are similar bugs around http://askubuntu.com/questions/127398/usb-drive-install-of-ubuntu-12-04-server-fails-cant-find-components-from-cd-r
theuns: again, read the link
vfw thats why i tried to use the correspondung desktop verion of 12.04.1 but it didnt help.
n00bie: Did you use an ISO or a CD when you created the USB ?
vfw md5 checked iso
how do you take a screen cap
robbie: you press print screen?
vfw i read somewhere i could just dd the iso to the usb block device, just not sure if thats the right method for the boot loader
ActionParsnip: Article in the link suggest to run lspci -vvnn | grep 14e4 to get the chipset. The output i get is
02:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Broadcom Corporation Device [14e4:4365] (rev 01)
Does not tell me what chipset? Only its broadcom
ewook thanks -- for some reason it wasnt working
vfw didnt try that yet
ooo
theuns: the PCI ID does: 14e4:4365
how do you take a screen cap when you have a menu open?
robbie: import ~/screenshot.png      you can draw a box around the area. You need imagemagick installing :)
but *when you have a menu open*?
like if I click an indicator and the menu below it opens
ActionParsnip: o, ok. Thanks, Did not realise that. :-[
theuns: http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:bDlzhwkWfowJ:www.ubuntu.com/certification/catalog/component/pci:14E4:4365-WIRELESS/+&cd=1&hl=en&ct=clnk&client=firefox-a
ActionParsnip, You sure that current ubuntu does support on Modern hardware?
Like Dell xps?
food: should be fine
vfw, ActionParsnip seems like either the release iso is broken, the usb startup media creator of it or both
ActionParsnip: So it looks like the driver is not available
@food it would be better to ask Dell to support Linux properly.
vfw, yesterday you asked me to make a pastebin of sudu fdisk -l. http://pastebin.com/BSMNEehG
question: if whereis tomcat7 gives me /etc/tomcat7/ and /usr/share/tomcat7, should I set TOMCAT_HOME to the former or the latter? there is also a /usr/share/tomcat7-root/
Kartagis: dpkg -L <tomcat package>
Whose idea was this to change gnome in ubuntu? The worst thing they could do :( I don't see clear list of running apps, i don't know where to find installed apps.. HORRIBLE!!! Please help, how do i find list of my installed apps?
wols: I got lots of stuff
nardev: dpkg-query -l
Anyone know what dmesg error "fail to flush all tx fifo queues' means?
n00bie: possibly a bad MD5 sum file. Are there any bugs reported?
Kartagis, what is that going to do?
greasegum: sounds like some NIC error
nardev: it's going to list all your installed applications
:)
Kartagis, aha, ok, but i WANT TO BE ABLE TO CLICK ON MENU AND HAVE SHORTCUTS easly not like THIS.. this si HORROR :(
Kartagis: if you run:   export TOMCAT_HOME=/etc/tomcat7/      or whichever you need, does it worl
Why aptitude is saying it does not have "super cow powers" ?? :))
nardev: kill the caps
Kartagis, it's ok, but i need it for regular use...
unity is childish, thats why i choose xfce.
can someone help me with a font problem?

ActionParsnip, sorry
Got me an older Ubuntu 8.10 server I would like to upgrade to 12.04.  Now in the indeal world I would back-up the system perform a fresh clean install .. and then restore all my apps/services/data.  Unfortunately that can be a pain.  Any recommended upgrade path?
ActionParsnip, girafee http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1969300 , https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-intel/+bug/993187 , Dell should make Hardware for linux ?
nardev: install gnome-panel   log off and log in to the new session
ActionParsnip, lets see ...
wols:: I'm only getting it on my school's network.
LucidGuy: 8.10->9.04->9.10->10.04->12.04
food: they pre-install the OS on some systems. They don't make specific hardware for Linux, they just use normal hardware  which is linux friendly
wols:: meanwhile my ping times are highly erratic, sometimes not connecting at all, sometimes
Unfortunately, 9.04 and 9.10 arent supported anymore.
bekks, Have you tried performing an upgrade path like that?  Sounds scarry .. as in Ill break things.
bekks: glas 9.04 is dead tbh
LucidGuy  fresh install is less painful
girafee, Many peoples don't have this if they have Ubuntu 11.x ...
did anyone have an issue with skype on ubuntu, webcam shows image upside down.
ActionParsnip: I know :)
LucidGuy: fresh install then restore data from backup
ActionParsnip: possibly this one is related but its for 12.04 not 12.04.1   http://askubuntu.com/questions/127398/usb-drive-install-of-ubuntu-12-04-server-fails-cant-find-components-from-cd-r
Im having a font problem on the panel -- please see http://imgur.com/UrwKb
n00bie: could install 12.04  and not 12.04.1
n00bie: Try xorriso
robbie: what is the output of:   lsb_release -sc   please
ActionParsnip: quantal
n00bie: or install using the mini ISO then install the desktop ontop. Does the system use a switchable GPU?
robbie: if you make a fresh Ubuntu user and log in there, is it ok?
@food if the hardware vendors decide to make open sourced, 99.9% of the hardware related issues should be over.
ActionParsnip: let me log into guest
vfw you mean copy the files from the iso_ they arent there either
ActionParsnip: is uses powervr sgx 530
n00bie: Oh, the iso is missing the files. I get it now... sorry.
n00bie: Myabe you can just remaster the ISO and add them.
vfw its the release iso for the server 12.04.1 i368 idk where to get those missing files
ActionParsnip: absolutely no idea if this is what I want, but I'm seeing what I want
girafee, Well, I love Linux. But If Linux(Ubuntu) does not support those kind hardware then there should be an option for Ubuntu ... right?
n00bie: from desktop version
girafee, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-intel/+bug/993187/comments/19
n00bie: yes, its a switchable GPU, this causes a tonne of problems in Linux
Unity is THE WORST thing ubuntu has done. I used suse, mandrake and debian for almost 10 years, i haven't come across this horrible and not intuitive GUI yet!
nardev: you don't have to use it......
ActionParsnip: there is no indicator-messages at all for guest account .. the other account on this box isnt hardly used at all so i checked there and it has the same problem
ActionParsnip, gnome 3 also sucks :(
nardev: you don't have to use anything in Ubuntu, you can switch the apps out as you want
i have to use ubuntu but i HATE unity
nardev: there is an unsupported fork of Gnome2
nardev: Try xfce
hi, I have a windows 7 computer which I dont have the password for is it possible to read the files in ubuntu?
nardev: There's always lxde, xfce, kde
nardev: again, you can use Ubuntu and not use Unity
ActionParsnip, i just hope there is no need for "horrible" way to adjust it.
nardev: you have the option to log in with GNOME
vfw what you mean with remaster it? i dont want the desktop version, btw the desktop verion doesnt have this issue
@food, its not the os who support cutting edge hardwares. its the device manufactures who distribute drivers. how many devices is automatically detected by mswinXP?
jakey1, unless the files or disk are encrypted, you can read it when booting ubuntu
jakey1: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntucat/resetwindowspassword/
jakey1: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=ubuntu+reset+windows+password    too hard?
hi, can someone help me to solve my graphic card issue ? I just installed 12.04 multiple times, but I can't get the graphic card driver to work. It was working before I chose to reinstall 12.04. Now when ubuntu starts, I get this error: The system is running in low graphics mode. Your screen, graphics card, and input device settings could not be detected correctly. You will need to configure these yourself.
jakey1: yes
so whats stopping someone stealing my laptop and getting all my info off it?
nardev: its the way Ubuntu wants to take the Gnome desktop. The default shell for Gnome3 is Gnome shell which is also available
n00bie: mount the iso, add the files, create new iso from the mount.
Guys i have win 8 on my machine and i think it doesn't let me boot from cd, so i'm not able to install ubuntu, how can i do?
jakey1: physical access circumvents most security measures (but not all)
ActionParsnip: there is no indicator-messages at all for guest account .. the other account on this box isnt hardly used at all so i checked there and it has the same problem
LennyLinux: check BIOS
ActionParsnip, physical acess?
robbie: how about a new ubuntu user, not guest
girafee, Why Ubuntu 11.x is working ? Anyway, If it is bug of ubuntu then it is bug. And if ubuntu community would known where the problem is then they could fixed it. At this time i am just trying to make it little stable so i can work for long time.
did they fix the freezing after sleep for laptops in 12.10 ?
jakey1: holding the device. Physically sittinig in front of and using the system as opposed to remote access over network.
ActionParsnip: the bios is ok. I also pressed f12 and specified to boot from cd but the starts win 8.
ActionParsnip, two times i was listening Mark S. trying to explain that this is right move. I'm so sorry i don't see ti is :(
ActionParsnip, so someone just steals my laptop?
I think win 8 prevents to install other os.
jakey1: yes
LennyLinux: on the same drive yes.
LennyLinux: sounds like some EFI stuff which I've never had to mess with
Just go separate disk for each os ;).
Entrez le texte ici...hello
and select disk to boot, and done.

ActionParsnip: just like the guest account -- he indicator-messages panel indicator doesnt even load
ActionParsnip: just like the guest account -- *the* indicator-messages panel indicator doesnt even load
ewook: ActionParsnip what can i do now? Am i stuck? :D
ActionParsnip: I just installed 12.04 multiple times, but I can't get the graphic card driver to work. It was working before I chose to reinstall 12.04. Now when ubuntu starts, I get this error: The system is running in low graphics mode. Your screen, graphics card, and input device settings could not be detected correctly.

LennyLinux: its not something I've used so therefore have no idea, maybe others can help
LennyLinux: I'd say go with leaving windows 8 on one drive :)
I having a problem with MAAS, trying to commission a box but the timestamp  for oauth is off by 4 hours. Have modified the config to use a local time server I have setup but still no dice. Still always off by 4 hours. Any thoughts?
kristenbb: why haven't you stated the video chip or make and model of the system? How can I possibly reply intelligently?
ActionParsnip: sorry. The system is ubuntu 12.04. The graphic card is nvidia gtx 680
kristenbb: why did you not state that before?
ActionParsnip: just like the guest account -- the indicator-messages panel indicator doesnt even load
kristenbb: add the boot option:  nouveau.blacklist=1    and it should help
robbie: you said, 3 times

thank you
ActionParsnip: How to add that boot option?
christian67160: sudo apt-key adv --recv-key --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com 83fba1751378b444
christian67160: add the keyring to apt
kristenbb: why did you not add the 2nd lot of info the first time?
will try this now ^^
ActionParsnip: what are you talking about ?
kristenbb: when you initially posted the question there was no detail, why did you not state the video chip and other useful details?
is there another room for MAAS?
ActionParsnip: The message was already a few lines long, I won't make a whole book to explain my problem, I thought this was good enough to get the conversation started
ActionParsnip: besides i'm a newbie I don't know what info would be relevant
kristenbb: its cool, you can type huge lines
ActionParsnip: does that really matter anyway?
vfw: i found the missing files in the original iso file, just copied them over to the usb stick ... now the md5sum check completes without error, i just hope those files were the ment for usb sticks, idk why they were missing ...
kristenbb: you are having a display issue, so its very relevant
ActionParsnip: now you know, so can you help me please ?
kristenbb: please give full details in future, it speeds things up
ActionParsnip: sure
did they fix the freezing after sleep for laptops in 12.10 ?
ActionParsnip: so from what I understand, this is done through grub2 inn my case? I don't see the grub menu
hello , i have downloaded the unity-2d 5.12 source code, do you know what i need modify for use unity-2d-panel standalone?
kristenbb: hold SHIFT at boot
ActionParsnip: I guess you had nothing else to say about it now that you know that it doesnt load in a new account ?
ActionParsnip: still not seeing grub
ActionParsnip: does it matter whether it's left or right shift, or both?
can someone help me with a font problem? http://imgur.com/UrwKb
can someone help me with a font problem with the panel? http://imgur.com/UrwKb
kristenbb: I use left. If you are booting the CD and you see the stickman screen. Press SPACE
its just that one indicator
ActionParsnip: no I am  not using the cd, I have a ubuntu installtion.
Ill come back
kristenbb: then hold SHIFT at boot should do it, its the standard in Grub2
ActionParsnip: I installed ubuntu 12.04 and I have problems with the graphic card driver.
ActionParsnip: I tried it twice, didn't work.
kristenbb: you can then press E and (e)dit grub and delete the:  quiet splash   and in the place add: nouveau.blacklist=1
can anyone help with virsh routed networking?

jakey1: Yes, Linux can read HFS+ filesystems
legacy? does that mean no future support for my gpu nymore

how to force-overwrite when installing packages with apt-get ?
hello
I didnt try yet
how to force-overwrite when installing packages with apt-get ?
Touhou44, tahnsk for the link
Touhou44, just take a picture with my smartphone, sending you the link in few seconds
Touhou44, this is the problem I'm having: https://docs.google.com/open?id=0BzFNC7jET0aib21zMkRiem05QnM any ideias?
wc
dr_willis: trying to overwrite '/bla/bla' which is also in packages firmware-linux-free 3.1
what's the terminology for packages that simply install other packages?
Touhou44, this is the problem I'm having: https://docs.google.com/open?id=0BzFNC7jET0aib21zMkRiem05QnM any ideias?
syskk, are you talking about metapackages?
syskk: metapackage
vaurdan: I'm not sure, possibly bug which I'd report
Touhou44, I also recently had a bug with Volume slider, with replaced text to VOLUME, and that made me change to Gnome 3.6
I think, i enabled Voice in Pidgin, using Voice&video plug-in
Touhou44, https://docs.google.com/open?id=0BzFNC7jET0aiRHk3bXhmaWgtbW8 <- see? I'm soooo close to reinstall Ubuntu 12.10... Since I've upgraded to 12.10, I only had troubles...
vaurdan: Ubuntu 12.10 is a little buggy in places I agree
My first bug was with the NVIDIA graphics... and now this
dr_willis: solved this with --force-overwrite to dpkg
Well, time to reinstall Ubuntu, right Touhou44 ?
I don't know if that's a solution, that's what Windows users tend to do. If there are bugs in the software you're using, they'll still be there after a reinstall
so i have been tracking down some strange issues, and i found one of my ppa's contained a tons of related packages, i would like to remove the ppa and restore the original packages. How do i do that without getting cought in a massive chain removal of dependancys etc?.
I didn't had any of those issues when I fresh installed Ubuntu 12.10, so I belive (or I hope) that this bugs don't be here...
hey does anyone know about the etc/hosts file
and blocking specific webpages
rephy222: Yes
Just add a line in it like this
ok well i know the basics of it and it works rather well
127.0.0.1 gawker.com
Hello All.  I have just upgraded my Ubuntu VM from 12.04 to 12.10.  The first thing I notice is that Ubuntu feels more sluggish.  Then I notice that after a fresh boot, it's sitting on 600 megs of ram.  This is almost double what 12.04 seemed to need after a fresh boot.  Any ideas? Does 12.10 just want more memory?
Cajun_Lan_Man: check what's using the memory
but i was wondering if i could add something like 127.0.0.1 www.*google*.com
Cajun_Lan_Man: Install and run htop
hm, seems like they didn't fix the freezing.
jrib, compiz is taking the most, a little over 200 meg.
say i wanted to block any website with google anywhere in it
rephy222: For more complicated things you need something like dnsmasq

is there a config file somewhere i can edit? what's going on here?
|Anthony|, it's a warning... nothing more, nothing less... probably nothing serious
Is there any newer solutions then switching to uswsusp

anyone?
for the freezing issue, or is switching to a fedora distro the only solution?

Hi guys. I have the following question. I am currently running a Sony Vaio 13.3 ultrabook (http://store.sony.com/laptop/Custom-Sony-VAIO-Ultrabook-13.3-T-Series/SVT131190X-Standard/en/vaio/8198552921666454150) which has two hidden drives - a HDD and 32GB SSD. For some reason, not a single OS can recognize them during installation, although I've successfully mounted and formatted them.
and in cheese there is no capture device and all options are grayed out
 ngt dirty thing to try. make a link from sh to the one it wants..
|Anthony|, again just a warning. Linux applications are often somewhat "chatty" if you launch them from terminal.
blazemore, compiz is clearly the culprit. Just not sure why the change.
Cajun_Lan_Man: They discontinued Unity 2D, it might be something to do with that
rumpe1, yes, but there it isn't working. which is why i launched it from terminal... to see what it was complaining about.

I just installed a new system. If I want to retrieve my whole firefox settings (add ons, icon location, history, bookmarks, about:config, ...), do I just need to delete the current .mozilla and copy the .mozilla folder from the old system to the  new one, or do I need to do something else, or will that not work ?
Is there a way to install Ubuntu on any of those drives? I believe they're locked in the EFI bios
lookin for someone who knows lubuntu 1210
kristenbb: ive done that beforr. keep a spare copy of the original directory also
Ya tel me
dr_willis: so that will work?
dr_willis: i am quite a newbie on ubuntu so i am not following by what you exactly mean?
hello
dr_willis: why should I keep a spare of the original directory ?
kristenbb: it has in the past.
ff has a sync feature i use these days.
need a channel for noobs like me so i ask questions
not found a guide (italian!) to personalize desktop like simple shoutdown on panel and other
in case ff resets somthing kristenbb
smooh: this is the channel, just ask
does anyone know of a Quick Look like thing for ubuntu/linux?
quicklook does what Linkandzelda
there's a built in thing?
o-o
hello people
So, I take it no one has the knowledge how to install the damn thing on hidden drives...
hello guys
I thought everyone is a genius here
cant-install-ubu: i dont see how they are hidden..
uf yiu can mount them...
do any of u guys knows how to expand the hard disk of a virtual machine in ubuntu?
well, they are hidden
Anyone knows ho to solve this? https://docs.google.com/open?id=0BzFNC7jET0aib21zMkRiem05QnM :(
i ican mount them, they are mounted alright
just the GUI install app cant see them ?!?!
smooh: vbox and vmware i recall have tools to do that..
it is crazy
anyone able to help with virsh networking on ubuntu 12.04?
cant-install-ubu:  that dosent  mean they are 'hidden'
EFI controlled at all times then, I dont know
Anyone knows how to solve this? https://docs.google.com/open?id=0BzFNC7jET0aib21zMkRiem05QnM :(
never seen such thing before
cant-install-ubu:  seen people in here with similer issues all the time. but in most cases its b3cause they got 4 primary partitons allready
dr_willis, the only way I could mount them was via Terminal. GUI file manager failed crying for lack of privilege or something
dr willis: i use virtual box and im kinda stuck
vaurdan: what does the text mean?
Erik_D it's my language(Portuguese). The problem is the Ambiance style of my menus
cant-install-ubu:  what device does mount/fdisk say they are?
even the damn application menus are like that
cant-install-ubu: gksu nautilus
what is gksu nautilus
vaurdan: Hmm, have you tried messing with themes? That's all that comes to mind.
runs nautilus as root...
yes, every single theme I've on my computer have the same menu's issue :(
drives are formatted, so no partitions there
gk is used for graphical applications, right?
err.. if they are formated they are partioned...
cant-install-ubu:  gksu is a graphical "sudo"
pastebin the output of sudo fdisk -l   may help us
vaurdan: never seen that :/
hello! i ran xoscope and now my headphones arent working. laptop speakers are working fine. what can be the problem?
Erik_D, Yup, is it very weird :( I'm now backing up everything and getting ready for a reinstall...
vaurdan: try reinstalling your display manager before taking the nuclear route
vaurdan:  even a newly made user has the same issue?
Nautilus could not create the required folder "/root/.config/nautilus"
some kind of permissions issue
Erik_D, how can I do that?
dr_willis, going to try that
can someone help me with an indicator? only this one indicator is broken -- see this image http://imgur.com/UrwKb
cant-install-ubu:  pastebin the output of sudo fdisk -l   may help us
vaurdan: are you using gnome?
cant-install-ubu: because the user-nautilus hastn permissions in /
unity?
cant-install-ubu: wait, you are running a root-xsession?
Erik_D right now I'm on Unity, but I use gnome on my daily usage
I am running a live USB
dr_willis, but I guess it's not a user related problem... LightDM also have that glitch
vaurdan:  that would point to a system type issue yes...
cant-install-ubu: sudo mkdir /root/.config/nautilus
vaurdan: I think : sudo apt-get remove --purge gdm & sudo apt-get install gdm
would do it?
I'm also suffering the problem that robbie told (<robbie> can someone help me with an indicator? only this one indicator is broken -- see this image http://imgur.com/UrwKb)
Erik_D, i'm going to try that :)
how do i select and copy terminal?
vaurdan: Please use common sense, I could be wrong
ctrl-shift-c/v
hi
please, in main repositories is not midnight commander?
cant-install-ubu: ^
blazemore: im not quite sure what the .py script does
wait what how do I do package stuff
rephy222: Sorry was that intended for me?
blazemore: yea about the dns server thing...the link u sent me led me to a python script to use wildcards with the hosts file i think
blazemore, you know, it might be.  More resources needed for the 3D.  Especially if it's being software rendered.
rephy222: Oh IDK how to actually use it
Cajun_Lan_Man: Yeah, if it's software rendering it will probably be sluggish
blazemore, any idea if there is a way to tell if Unity is being software or hardware rendered?
tomatto, sudo apt-get install mc
hi any idea how to change from UEFI boot to BIOS boot on ubuntu server?
OerHeks: it isn't install mc at all
http://pastebin.com/jDJbhGsV
Cajun_Lan_Man: Good question! I'm opening it to the floor. Does anyone know if you can tell if the graphics hardware is drawing unity?
D4v1d___  there's also #ubuntu-server
it was a good link i believe it may help im just a little unsure what it does and a little leary to use something i dont know how it works
dr_willis, Erik_D - http://pastebin.com/jDJbhGsV
blazemore: Are you seeing unity?
deadmund: No, I'm not using Ubuntu. What that intended for me?
blazemore: Does anyone know if you can tell if the graphics hardware is drawing unity?    in response to that question
deadmund, It was from a question I asked. I'm trying to find out if my install of 12.10 is using software rendering, or HW.
thanks rephy222
Cajun_Lan_Man: ohhh!  No, I'm not sure.
Cajun_Lan_Man: What graphics card / driver?
<smooh> and i dont know how to expand the hard drive of the virtual machine without loosing the OS
deadmund, 12.10 is using twice the memory footprint, and feels sluggish after upgrading to 12.10, and I'm just trying to find out why.
omg
i jusy bought logitech t650
Cajun_Lan_Man: Are you using radeon?
works soooooo good in ubuntu
deadmund, This particular machine is a VMware VM. It suppored 3D hardware on 12.04, but that doesn't mean it's working in 12.10.
D4v1d___  for?
That's *wonderful* fagioli
Cajun_Lan_Man: I'm not sure then.
Erik_D, lol
Cajun_Lan_Man: Bit of a special case
i just want people to know it works with multitouch
Cajun_Lan_Man: Twice the memory footprint is not true.
Cajun_Lan_Man: Not at all, to be honest.
fagioli: I'm actually a little surprised though, what with all the "it's for win 8!"
Besides the fact that RAM is there to be used, not to be left alone.
Erik_D, in gnome 3, 3 finger swipe up is amazinf
its going to change the way i usr the computer
fagioli: I have  tablet pc, unfortunately gnome 3 wasn't working that well, so I switched to xfce
kinda useless for touch
Hello there is no linux_headers_all.deb on http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.6.5-raring/ ?
bekks,  What I mean is, I have 1 gig of ram allocated. Normally after a clean boot, 12.04 would be using about 350 megs of ram.  Now with 12.10, after a clean boot it's sitting on about 700 megs. That, combined with the fact that the machine is no longer "snappy" as it was with 12.04, I'm just trying to figure out what's going on.
food, join #ubuntu+1 for raring issues
i set an NTFS partition to mount on startup and now its read-only .. how can i change the permissions to gain write access.  ROOT is currently the owner
dr_willis, Erik_D - no luck again? Thank you for your time at least.
deadmund, It is a special case.  I'm upgrading a physical desktop install to 12.10 now, and I will see if it feels much snappier. Integrated Intel graphics on it, but only a couple of years old.
OerHeks, I am trying to install it on Ubuntu 12.04
why is there so many problems with kernel 3.6.4 and 3.6.5?
food don't mix raring and quantal kernels.
Okay okay
hi
OerHeks, I am having same problem http://askubuntu.com/questions/203465/ubuntu-12-04-12-10-keeps-on-freezing , So trying to fix it somehow .
cant-install-ubu: all your hds are partioned with fat32 or ntfd.. id delete the partions on the hds you want to use and leave them unallocated, then reboot the installer
deadmund, See, after a fresh boot of 12.10 on the physical desktop, it's only sitting on 400 megs of ram.  That's making me wonder if it's hardware accelerated, verses software rendering on the VM.
dr_willis, already tried that but without reboot
area51: /dev/sda2 /win7 ntfs-3g defaults,user,noauto,uid=1000,gid=1000,umask=022 0 0
cant-install-ubu: then the system may have been using the old partition layout still...
ok, will try it now
blazemore, I just found a place in VMware Workstation that shows me hardware accelerated graphics are NOT being used any more.  That answers my question.
OerHeks, Is it safe to compile the source from kernel.org?
blazemore: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1323935/   its the /media/sda3 partition
Someone got slowdown with Radeon 200M with new ubuntu quantal?
I got this issue (Terrible slowdown in composition plus high cpu usage) using Unity and even cinnamon. I have a Radeon 200M
But if i ran a gnome-terminal and inside it i open metacity, everything backs to normal.
But Xorg.0.log dont report any error
Someone have idea how i can report this?
blazemore:  should ( /media/Data  ntfs  nls=iso8859-1,ro,umask=000    0  0 ) nls=iso8859-1,ro be replaced with utf8?
ciao
deadmund, blazemore, Problem solved.  After re-enabling HW rendering on the VM, my CPU usage at idle is back down in the single digits, memory usage is back down, and Ubuntu is quite snappy again.  This did teach me one thing.  Software rendered Unity 3D is a bit of a pig. Something I will try my best to avoid.
dr_willis, well, that didn't work either :)
Cajun_Lan_Man: awesome! :)
now, they're unallocated, yet installer can't see them :(
Cajun_Lan_Man: I didn't think there'd be a GUI checkbox for that
deadmund, thanks for the help though.
Cajun_Lan_Man: sure
How can I echo on bash without newline
dr_willis, you know what else is interesting, even Windows 8 can't see those drives during installation. Damn...
can someone help me with an indicator? only this one indicator is broken -- see this image http://imgur.com/UrwKb
is no one here?
Yes, but nobody knows the answer to your question
it was just a very strange quiet
Hi. I want to extend a partition into the free space on my hard drive... I am using Disk Utility... the free space is to the LEFT of the partition and it is within an "Extended" container.
jrib: Yeah I found -n, thanks
will the 12.04.1 LTS server install guide me through creating a raid+lvm install, or should I just take of that first before starting the install?
reCAPTCHA: You need to move the partition to the left, and then expand it to fill the new space on the right. Use gParted to achieve this, from a, Ubuntu liveCD, or the Parted Magic liveCD

no  is not working  at all
jonas-k: How are you opening the file to edit? And what error do you get?

jonas-k: you wanted to add ~/bin to your path?
yes but now i want to deleted what i add but can't
jonas-k: right, well you don't need to edit /etc/bash.bashrc to add ~/bin to your path.  That happens automatically by default if ~/bin exists.  Anyway, what exactly are you executing?
Want to install Game Editor for all users.  The installation instructions is just single user. Anyone get this to work as a shared application?

reCAPTCHA: You have to delete that partition
i add PATH=PATH:/home/jonas-k/bin            but i did a mistake so  can't fix that
jonas-k: what are you executing to try to change it?
nano ..  gedit
blazemore: I did... it's just "unallocated" space that I cannot expand into. Maybe becauseof the extended container?

Hi. I have Xubuntu 12.10 on my work box, and in many GTK applications, I can't highlight anything. In GEdit and Zim, the highlight doesn't even appear, and in XFCE terminal, the highlight appears and disappears when I release the mouse button.

Anyone out there ever try to remove onboard nvidia card with a PCI nvidia card running 12.04lts?
where can I try an answer for my question
????
email9541: #android
os-prober seemed to recognize windows 8 loader but grub-update didnt seem to include windows 8
my ubuntu server doesn't allow to ssh to it !!?
????
it says wrong password,
email9541: Try #android
email9541: Instead of #ubuntu
please try again
Thx
meegooo: What command are you running to ssh into it? The syntax is "ssh username@server"
blazemore:  ssh mtnm@myip
meegooo  be sure caps is not set or so
meegooo: If you don't specify a username it will try to log in with the same username you're currently using
meegooo: And there is definitely an "mtnm" user on that server?
blazemore:  yes
blazemore: the server is beside me
blazemore:  i've logged in
fotographix, you enable the pci card in the bios , usually if you choose auto the pci nvidia card will become default , but choose pci in case auto doesn't work
meegooo: Can you try "ssh -v mtnm@178.131.48.159" and paste the output into http://paste.timico.net
or whatever the IP is
wow thanks for the reply BluesKaj, I'm on my last leg, figured i would try IRC 1st time :( hate to say it, No I disabled it in BIOS and set it to PCI, which PCI is the new card, but it loads up and the onborad is still default and the new card is seen by NVIDIAsettings but is set to GPU1, XSCREENS=NONE
blazemore:  let me try
no auto option, only {Onborad, PCI PCIe}

Hi there.  Anyone seen a pop-up saying "problem detected with program.  Enter password to report problem," or similar?
I need to get a Belkin wifi usb adaptor working with Ubuntu 12.10 can someone help me ?
I'm suspicious that it's a virus.
moondoggy: Yes when an application crashes, you can choose to submit a bug report. The password is needed to access system files which provide information to make the bug report more useful
moondoggy: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Apport
OpenGL vendor string: NVIDIA Corporation
OpenGL renderer string: GeForce 6150/integrated/SSE2
OpenGL version string: 2.1.2 NVIDIA 295.40
OpenGL shading language version string: 1.20 NVIDIA via Cg compiler
OpenGL extensions:
this is the onboard card the new card shows in Nvidia settings as GPU1=GeForce 9400 GT I'm hoping this will be reflected
blazemore, thanks.  I never needed a password on other OS's.
cuore: Once you have a terminal open you can run compizconfig-settings-manager
moondoggy: I know, they're terrible aren't they
sorry!
Also, the punctuation was weird like in all those emails from Nigeria.  :)
cuore: the command name is ccsm, the package is compizconfig-settings-manager
Is it?
what's the best way to install proprietary ATI drivers? preferably a way where they're reasonably easy to uninstall
trism: I'm sorry cuore - I thought it was the other way around
lahwran: Using "jockey" the built-in driver tool in Ubuntu
Hi.
blazemore: is that going to install an up-to-date version?
PK Hi. Nice nick
that's always my worry using driver tools like that
lahwran: probably. What's the result of "sudo apt-cache search fglrx" ?
Thanks, those are just my initials. ;)
blazemore: trism   thanks a lot for your help
I know how to paste, you don't have to jump on me like that :|
however, it's on a different computer
Is there a good way to learn PyGTK used for making Ubuntu apps?
PK http://www.pygtk.org/pygtk2tutorial/index.html
blazemore: apt-cache show fglrx says that it's only version 8.960
blazemore No, that ain't a good one. I need something better... like Codecademy?
blazemore, Weird.  That page tells me that it shouldn't be running on my machine, and the pop-up looks different.
Am I just paranoid?
PK  start here http://developer.ubuntu.com/get-started/
MonkeyDust Already installed Quickly and learnt all its features. Just need to learn PyGTK.
PK try asking in #python
PK  http://zetcode.com/gui/pygtk/
blazemore: Not really. PyGTK is not so easy as Python.
Any more languages I need to learn to continue? Any alternatives?>
blazemore: It ended up being a problem with x2x.
PyGTK is a Python library, so you'd do well to learn Python
I deleted a bunch of packages associated with Evolution Mail (I use Thunderbird), and I seem to have deleted my clock/calendar display from the upper right side of the screen.  Can anybody tell me how to restore it?
Is there a way to create apps in Ubuntu using Java? I don't think so... but still...
You'd do well to learn Python just because anyways. I came from C-like languages like Java, C#, Vala.
IUseOTR: The calendar is part of Evolution
IUseOTR: indicator-datetime
PK Java is cross-platform, so yeah you can code Java in Ubuntu
Python is a very nice language once you get used to it.
Python > Java IMO
java is xplatform so yes, i think
I have a problem with my usb wifi adaptor. can someone help me
trism/blazemore: Thanks!
tottto-drummond: You'll have to be a bit more specific
You would need Java bindings for GTK. Which are probably uglier than C# bindings to GTK.
What is this Pango I hear of?
PK: Pango is a library for laying out and rendering of text, with an emphasis on internationalization.
Nothing you will likely have to deal with directly. It's pretty well integrated into GTK.
blazemore: Ah! Are you a bot? Because you type fast.
blazemore thanks.. I have a Belkin F9L1103 usb wifi adaptor I tried to get it to work with Ndiswrapper. but it doesn t seem to work. When I do lsusb ubuntu does recognizes it
PK  you didnt accept any advice, what is it that you want?
MonkeyDust  I just need an alternative to PyGTK because there are not a lot of good tutorials  that I want.
is there any body can help me?
caglar  if you're sweet
i have a problem with my radeon hd 6470m driver
:)
how can I set pulse volume control as the default volume control instead of the one that usually is in sound prefs?
the system sound control cant handle volume sliders for 5.1 audio
blazemore any clue on how I can get it to work
it is hyprid with intel ati driver
at least not digital 5.1
PK I'm not a bot
(slow enough for you :P)
tottto-drummond: What version of Ubuntu are you running?
blazemore 12.10
tottto-drummond: What happens if you run sudo modprobe rt2800usb
if I do sudo apt-get install fglrx, then it should activate automatically, correct? and if I later do sudo apt-get remove fglrx then it should then revert to the open source driver automatically, correct?
lahwran: In theory, yes
Hello. I've bought Humble Indie Bundle V with SuperMeatBoy and I'm trying to install with via Ubuntu Software Center, but it keeps downloading 277 instead of ~170 mb version of amd64 DEB. Why is that?
blazemore: do you have experiences with it not working, or are you just being cautious with your recommendations?
lahwran: I tend to screw around a lot so my breakages are probably my own
lahwran: As long as you stick to the package manager and don't try installing from AMD themselves, you'll be golden
lahwran: not exactly... to remove fglrx you have to purge and reinstall some things.
blazemore: blah. I was curious because I want to try fglrx, see how it works, and if it doesn't switch to official catalyst
after days of searching to simply replace/swap a graphics card in ubuntu i have come to no conclusion, anyone know of a how to url, or any support options for hardware in ubuntu?
blazemore let me try
fglrx is official catalyst
but according to apt-cache show it's like 5 versions out of date
tottto-drummond: be quick, I need to go home in 10 minutes
lahwran: the "fglrx-updates" package might be more your speed?
fotographix  start here https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport
thank you
lahwran: what version of ubuntu are you on and what is the output of lspci -nn | grep VGA
blazemore: that's also version 8.960, whereas http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/linux/Pages/radeon_linux.aspx is no less than four major versions ahead
L3top: 12.04.1 installed a few days ago, and gimme a minute, I'm on irc from a different computer
L3top: what does -nn do?
lahwran: see my pm on reverting from fglrx to radeon driver
oh, I see
-nn = all numbers as well
but i have another problem
lahwran: cd /tmp && wget -c http://goo.gl/Bbeki -O catalyst-12.10-x86.x86_64.zip && unzip catalyst-12.10-x86.x86_64.zip && chmod +x amd-driver-installer-catalyst-12.10-x86.x86_64.run && sudo sh amd-driver-installer-catalyst-12.10-x86.x86_64.run
it does not solve mine
blazemore nothing happens
blazemore: okay, what does that do? it looks to me like it's just the commandline version of a normal install
because ati dont support my signature it says you need to talk with provider of your computer it means sony
Guys, is there a workaround for the non working fn+F5 brightness control on a laptop?
blazemore when I open ndiswrapper it says that I have rt2870
I am blinded :(
lahwran: Yeah but it's the latest version from AMD's website, rather than the one packaged for Ubuntu
Guest34433: I believe there's a brightness applet, if you alt-rightclick on your top bar and click add
blazemore: yes, that's what I mean, I understand how to do that ._.
10x man
OK I have to go
good luck Guest34433 and lahwran
Guest34433  the workaround is in the system settings, brightness and lock
blazemore and if I do sudo modprobe rt2870usb then I get a FATAL: rt2870usb not found
MonkeyDust, this doesn't work, hence me asking
tottto-drummond: What happens if you run sudo modprobe rt2800usb
sliders are moving, controls are showing on the screen, yet nothing seems to work
Anyway you're on your own
blazemore as I said.. nothing
Should have done that in the first place ;)
gtg
connect
So, no way to manipulate brightness :(
\connect
I read this is due kernel bug
hello!
L3top: https://gist.github.com/1ffdcbf2300f5c08f27a
jello
blazemore Ndiswrapper does see the adaptor but under rt2870 not 2800
Can someone please help me install flash, because I cannot get it installed off Adobe's site because the browsers will not open apt.
man i'm in trouble. I just did an 1hr recording of my screen and voice using kazam. I know for a fact it worked, because i did trials. but during presentation, i couldn't exit out of recording. how do i recover it?
blazemore any idea ?
Guest34433, maybe this page is any help > acpi_backlight=vendor >>> http://www.techjail.net/solved-brightness-problem-in-ubuntu-12-04-precise-pangolin.html
MonkeyDust: I have it installed, it just does not work.
L3top: are you there? I got the lspci output as requested, what were you planning to find out
I installed Kernel 3.4 64bit .. Can anyone kindly confirm me that i installed it correct version? http://paste.ubuntu.com/1324200/
that isnt exactly what I requested... but... lol ok... so make sure you purge the driver with the instructions I gave you, and give fglrx-updates a try. If you just want to revert then skip that lahwran. I am now tied up but will be around for quick questions.
L3top: the only difference is that I didn't bother filtering for the graphics card
L3top: more information is better and all that
Okay, let me retry this... HOw do I get the browser to open APT installer when a link is clicked that tries to open it?
hyyy
Is gigolo supposed to show al shares in xubuntu? i can see shares with smbtree command
Ascavasaion: install apt url
anyone please?
lahwran: I am pretty specific with the commands with reason. I don't want to have to open a pastebin and read all of your lspci devices to find out if your pciid is supported by the current slew of drivers... I just want what I want pasted here as often as possible because I am busy.
food1: run uname -a
HulkHogan, it says 3.4.0-030400-generic but searching all kernel version it output "Linux kernel image for version 3.4.0 on 32 bit x86 SMP" where 3.2 says " Linux kernel image for version 3.2.0 on 64 bit x86 SMP"
HulkHogan: Okay, it asked me f I want to open the link with Apturl.  I chose to, and then it popped up "Unknown channel 'precise-partner' The channel 'precise-partner' is not known".
food1: if it says 3.4.0 then thats ur current kernel
HulkHogan, So it really 64 bit ?
Ascavasaion: u probally need to enable it in the software sources
Ascavasaion: is just a checkbox u need to enable
food1: if it says 64 then ur using 64bit, if it says like i686 then u using 32bit
what about PowerPC processor ubuntu?
Hello their! i would like to ask a question about ubuntu
does any use such on old PowerMacs?
juztus: dont think they support those anymore
When i load ubuntu from a live usb stick, it takes a very very long time
HulkHogan, What can i understand from this description :  Linux kernel image for version 3.4.0 on 32 bit x86 SMP
like 2 or 3 minutes, at least
do you know what is the problem?
Peter: your USB drive?
i am having trouble mounting my windows ntfs drive and fdisk does not see the harddrive either.  I am running kubuntu which is installed on a SATA Raid 5 PCI controller card (no problems here) and I have Windows installed on a seperate physical harddrive (only ntfs partition on it) which is connected to my motherboard's SATA Port.
ok Hulk told me theyre outdated PC's (them(e) 'Parked'Macs.)
Yes, a linux live usb
food1: yea thats a 32bit then
hi
hi
how are you
:/
Erik_D: Yes, i am launching ubuntu from a live usb. but it takes a long time
borg-queen: might need to install ntfsprogs or ntfstools forgot the name
it works but at the start screen (the purple screen with the ubuntu logo and the 4 dots) it takes like for 2 or 3 minutes
Peter: I meant your USB is probably the problem
Oh
what do you think i should do? right now i have 2 different usb sticks
how much better for a guru-geek is theBBS in comparison to this ubuntu?
USBs over, well, usb connections are much slower than hard drives over SATA
Is it possible to use any other type of USB device?
like a portable hard drive?
Is it possible that switching to Lbuntu has drastically lowered my download speeds?  I swear my internet will no longer download anything above 100kbs a second
its incredibly slow
HulkHogan, I installed these http://paste.ubuntu.com/1324237/ ... But not understanding why it should 32bit .. Here i confused
HulkHogan: I installed ntfs-config which is the only ntfs package I could find
my computer does not have a cd drive
borg-queen: did u enable the other non-free repositories?
probably mmany overly many disk configurations r possible but most produce a slow environment for Todays DigitalMedia-to-be transferred thsrough the electronics-32bit-channels
is it possible that lbuntu is limiting my download speeds?
borg-queen: then u should be able to see the other packages
Peter: a drive might work better
Peter: Is an extra minute or 2 that big a deal?
What is a drive? a hard drive?
No
yeah
Express-PCI etc. dont yeat remove certain bottlenecks
Peter: Or try a lighter weight distro
its just that i use it on the school laptop (teehee) to bypass admin controls and to play games. i dont want to do anything permenant to the computer
pretty much anything but ubuntu.
OH lol
Fun times in high school XD
Erik_D: Lubuntu is light
yeah. i play minecraft on it XD
the admins have a program called lanschool, so they can basicly own the computer
Erik_D: ubuntu minimal + openbox is insanely light
so i figuered, if i change the OS then they cant log everything
food1: run aptitude search linux-headers , to see which one is installed
so yeah. it loads for a long time. is there anything i can do?
Peter: Also fun is getting damn small linux, loading to ram, and leaving
you can remove cd / usb
nobody knows what happens
gon on reboot
*gonje
i use ubuntu on my external HD and it works great :D
*gone
Err
I'm trying to help but mySelf, a simple Proble, how to  rebuild a network connection to a laptop, if integrated is damaged beyound repair
Can I disable a startup script in /etc/init.d just by giving it an extension like .sample ?
I am not exactly a computer technician
so what do i do? get a small os that i boot it and because its so small it stays in the RAM?
viaUSB (like suondCard is), I don't have pcmcia, AnyOne knoe how to rebuild a RJ-45 through some usb port, or so?
HulkHogan: I believe I did. Software Sources states I have enabled: Canonical-supported Open Source Software, Community-maintained Open Source Software, Proprietary drivers for devices, and Software restricted by copyright or legal issues
Peter: there is a distribution called Damn Small Linux, and one of the boot options is to move the image to ram, so you don't need the usb drive or cd, and it's really fast because it's all already loaded into ram
Oh
But yeah, try something like lubuntu
does it looks good and is GUI'ed and has a web browser?
borg-queen: yea try refreshing now
i need it to look kinda good, so i get brag points (XD) and also i prefer GUI rather then command line
i could use command line if i had to, though
Peter, I use puppy
What is that?
puppy is a small distro
Peter, Puppy-Linux
How is it? can it boot to ram?
macmartine: sudo apt-get install sysv-rc-conf; sudo sysv-rc-conf
Good afternoon... I am having some wireless problems with my Asus Zenbook UX31E... Can anyone help

ActionParsnip: Sure I am only getting about 2 bars of signal and at times I am dropped off the network even if I am sitting close to the router
where do I even start diagnosing it?
how can i disable the email bounce response email from my server?
goddard: depends on what you're using
rwlyonsjr: what wifi chip are you using?
Peter: slitaz is light too
Ok?
Peter: as is tinycore (tinycore is probably smallest)
can all of these distros boot via usb?
my school laptop is designed for security, so no cd drive
ActionParsnip: what is the best way to find the exact chip. I know it uses the Arth9k driver
Peter: yes, you can use unetbootin to put them on a USB stick
rwlyonsjr: sudo lshw -C network      is ONE way. There is no best way
Ok
ActionParsnip: AR9485 Wireless Network Adapter
Peter, use unetbootin if u r on Windows or use multisystem if on Ubuntu
I am on my school laptop, windows now
i mainly use linux to bypass admin controls, so yeah
with Multisystem, u can install multiple OSs on a single USB
Connecting my phone to the computer using bluetooth a2dp profile always fails, how can I check what is wrong?
Multisystem-- http://www.pendrivelinux.com/multiboot-create-a-multiboot-usb-from-linux/
rwlyonsjr: if you run:   sudo iwlist scan | egrep -i 'channel|ssid'     do you see a lot of wirelesses on the same channel?
Guys, what is the best file system for storage?
Guest34433: all filesystems do storage
Guest34433: there is no best file system
big media files and such
Peter, Multisystem can be installed on live-cd/USB too
Guest34433: anything but FAT then
Guest34433: I'd go for Ext4 for simplicity
ActionParsnip: Right now I see 2 networks in range and they are on 2 different channel
ext4 it is then
Oh dear :D your all gonna advertise me your favorite Linux distros :D
Peter, no ad but help
Peter  wait until we start recommending IRC clients
rwlyonsjr: that's good, now you have the wifi chip, you can search for solutions

hi, why the f*** did do-release-upgrade upgraded me from natty to oneiric and not to the next LTS?
Trebuchet: only if you are running a file server or an email server
Sorry... bazhag. I want if Google Earth run good in Ubuntu 12.04 and 12.10
sorry ubottu
FloSoft: because theonly way you can upgrade to Precise OS from Lucid (LTS to LTS) or from 11.10 (next release)
serverqg, please stop posting that here. we don't need to know your upload and download speeds
FloSoft: you cannot skip versions while upgrading unless you are going from LTS to LT
FloSoft: you cannot leapfro releases

ActionParsnip, which file should I put this acpi_osi=Linux acpi_backlight=vendor line?

FloSoft: you can upgrade to precise (LTS) from oneiric
jrib: how? im on oneiric now, but do-release-upgrade does not offer that option
I suggested to my dad to use truecrypt and he trusted me with the password, but I forgot it
FloSoft: it should
FloSoft: if you update from Natty to Oneiric, then upgrade Oneiric to Precise then you have not missed a release
I need to get it open or he'll kill me
my dad uses Ubuntu if that helps

i need to clone a dual-boot hdd to a smaller drive. the 2 partitions that make up the dual boot are smaller than the new hdd. the rest of the original hdd is backup space
how do i do that
#freenode.fr
PK: https://live.gnome.org/Empathy/FAQ#IRC
Hello, absolute value of Anthony.
lol
like that
Yes, it is 12.10 Unity.
Har, PK that's clever.
|Anthony|: maybe dd?
|Anthony|: you can use dd, clonezilla, grsync in liveCD
anyone knows how to set the time a windows takes to fade back to the unity panel when you press "iconize" ?
Thank you. <tips hat>
Is there a command to delete folders with files still inside of them?
thesadmafioso  rm -r
thesadmafioso: rm -r
that might work if it was a simple dd if-/dev/sda of=/dev/sdb so i could get the mbr too. but the replacement hdd is smaller
Ah, so remove recursively?
Ok, I shall try that and then stop staring at this comptuer screen for the night. Thank you!
|Anthony|: use bs=1024   to speed it up a bit :)
ActionParsnip: but he said the replacement hdd is smaller
is it smaller?
You people are smart.
yes
although... the 2 os's on the original are smaller than the replacement
but the whole drive is larger
|Anthony|: "yes" is not a replacement to "thank you". ;)
|Anthony|, Personally I would resize the original with gparted to fit then clone it with clonezilla then install in the new one, This serves two purposes you have a new hd set up and the clone for backup.
I'm not running GNOME, so Terminal wouldn't accept the GNOME command.
|Anthony|: what wilee-nilee said
I repeat, I'm using Unity.
it still should work PK
Ain't working, linuxuz3r.

Are there other pre-installed IRC clients?
not that i know of
but you are already using one
Are there any good ones I may install (leaving ChatZilla)?
PK  what are you running?
irssi
Nah... I need a quicker access. I'm on my web browser.
run irssi inside screen on a server somewhere
gordonjcp  Not there on the dash.
irssi <3
PK: it wouldn't be on your local machine
well, it *could* be I suppose
you could install it
What are you guys running?
PK: irssi, inside screen
it's awesome
same here
I can't find it on the Dash.
PK: you'd need to install it
Oh Lord.
Okay.
PK: and as I said, ideally you'd install it on some hosted machine somewhere, run it in screen, and ssh to it
sudo apt-get install screen irssi
pk try searching for terminal on the dash
PK: watch this
unity feels slow. is this because i have a 128mb graphic?
I know terminal. Gosh.
PK: okay, I've now turned my desktop off, and I'm sitting on my PC in the van
PK: did you see me disconnect and reconnect? No? That's because I didn't - I just dropped the ssh connection on one machine, connected from another, and reattached screen
gordonjcp: what does screen do?
I don't really follow those "joined," and "left" messages.
linuxuz3r: it provides a virtual console that you can disconnect and reattach
gordonjcp: using what connection?
ssh?
Which one works on Ubuntu again? tar.bz or tar.gz?
yeah
linuxuz3r  you can even terminate terminal and log off, screen keeps running
pk both
ok
PK: tar -j... is bz2 and tar -z... is gz
pk: or install unp and use that to extract anything
pk:  unp filename
I messed aroudn with my shell a bit (to get zsh instead of bash) and now my prompt is [computername]% and no longer shows my account name.  is this normal with zsh or am i in  the wrong shell
Who are the reds here?
the reds?
sarutahiko: does zsh honour PS1 ?
I do not know what PS1 is
but it also doesn't show my path
sarutahiko: its the variableto define the bash prompt
sarutahiko: when you first run zsh it should run you through its setup...
jrib: yes I just completed that
sarutahiko: I think you could have chosen a prompt there :)
sarutahiko: try:  export PS1="\[\e]0;\u@\h: \w\a\]${debian_chroot:+($debian_chroot)}\u@\h:\w\$"
irssi downloaded and I've opened this with Archive Manager.  What next?
anybody?
PK: run:   irssi   in a terminal
john_doe_jr  tab completes, even the spaces
okay my sire.
john_doe_jr: use TAB to complete the name
PK are you on ubuntu? you dont install irssi from a tar.gz
MonkeyDust: they name of the file is Office 2007 Std
PK  sudo apt-get install screen irssi
MonkeyDust: it doesn't automatically change to this
john_doe_jr: or run:     cd Office\ 2007\ Std
ActionParsnip: now my prompt is "\[\e]0;\u@\h: \w\a\]\u@\h:\w$"
MonkeyDust  all right, the old sudo way.  Right on.
sarutahiko: here http://zshwiki.org/home/config/prompt (you can just edit PS1 if you want but there are some nice preset ones you can explore)
PK  the  fastest and easiest way
lolz PK you should have used terminal to run the empathy plugin
sarutahiko: then the PS1 is honoured. You can find guides to set the prompt as you desire
sarutahiko, ActionParsnip: the escapes are different in zsh, they use %
hi
Oh boy.
thank you
jrib: gotcha
* jrib learned that ActionParsnip is not a zsh user and is disappointed :(
Could you please explain this beginner (me) how to do that? @linuxuz3r.
jrib: bash does enough for me
ActionParsnip: just teasing you
jrib: I know :D
can i request some assistance? My mac mini is unable to boot a live usb installer, and the command to make a user installer from a mac result in an unreadable disc
sarutahiko: try:   PS1=$'%B%n @ %M%b %{\e[1;32m%}%~%{\e[0m%} $ '
sarutahiko: source http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-newbie-8/zsh-ps1-dollar-sign-in-the-beginning-why-858543/
ActionParsnip: that worked...thanks!!
open up dash type in : xterm and do sudo apt-get install irc-empathy-plugin
linuxuz3r:  What is the command for the Empathy plugin?
i dont know
Running irssi on the terminal. Cool stuff.

john_doe_jr: if you use TAB more, it makes things easier :)

Eh, this is PK.
How to change my nickname?
On the terminal.
 /nick newnick
Cool stuff.
try

What does this "+i" mean?
PK: its very scriptable
Hmm.
+i is invisible i think
How do I disable these "joined" and "closed" stuff?
PK  now type /ignore #ubuntu +joins +quits +parts +modes +nicks
check the options
All right sir.
hi, i accidently deleted 'sed', how do i get it back? it wont let me remove it cause it has dependencies.
Hmm.
cant find a reinstall option
apt-get reinstall sed
E: Invalid operation reinstall
xsacha: sudo apt-get install --reinstall sed;
ah ok
try that
thanks
How do I go about joining some other IRC not related to Ubuntu?  Like we'd have to connect to some other network right?
no
PK: not necessarily
PK: there are channels for all sorts of things on freenode
PK  try ##
Hi!
For example, I wanna join some "fun" IRC not related to the Ubuntu network.
I am trying to make a multiboot usb drive, what options should I go out of partition types?
PK  then try ##fun (double #)
Okay.
##fun
PK, really, these questions should be asked on #freenode
Okay.
How do I change the channel? -.-
 /join #channel
/join #freenode
with 12.10 i no longer have the useful mailmox symbol on the upper right corner... why is that?

Hi! Any ideas why gigabit LAN is slow while transfering files from Ubuntu 12.04 to a Windows 2008r2 Server using Windows File Sharing? Max speed about 25MB/s.
Works better with NFS, around 60MB/s
And even better from Windows 7 (on the same machine as ubuntu) to the server; 90-110MB/s
are there any ubuntu certified gamer desktops ?
nope
lemme send a pic
here, it is currently GUID and linux basic data partition: http://i.imgur.com/G254q.png
zastaph  the latest from ZaReason is a devil do all
hrm, one thing i'm not sure how to do is to see which flags a package was compiled with..
I suppose I should make it MBR Partition scheme
figured it might in the output of apt-cache show <package> but not seeing it
I wonder if I suppose what I should suppose~
MonkeyDust, seems US only
what software is there for a tv tuner?
I think the drivers are there
bazhang, thank you
where can i find the kernel headers on 12.10 ?
I have installed the new kernel and header file. now i want to remove the default old kernel and header file. But when i do "apt-get purge linux-header-<version> it just want to upgrade ... what can i do?
Wasn't there an issue with Ubuntu not controlling fans on laptops and they overhead?
designbybeck, well.... I have 3 laptops completly FANNINNNNNNNNNGGG,.... so I would say yes :P
uh
food1, try to remove it using synaptics
I thought i saw somewhere there was issues with ubuntu causing laptops to overheat aboudreault
ericus, http://paste.ubuntu.com/1324505/
and I have a friend who is new to ubuntu that is haven't that problme
designbybeck, Never had a problem, with at least 4 different laptops, it is not with all laptops,
food1 try synaptics
probably. here we use Dell laptops
he's on an Acer aspire
yeah I don't think I have had a problem with my Dells running hot
designbybeck, is the laptop relatively new? like less than a year old?
Does anyone know a BNC software that allows me to join multiple networks, with different nicknames in some networks? ZNC does not seem to do the job
Any new solutions to the freezing issue for laptops? version 12.10
ericus, I just setup different username/pass for each network. same things
fusk: irssi?
wols, ?
wols, irssi is not a BNC
fusk: tested RAM health?
aboudreault: of course it is
aboudreault, okay, but that would require several windows? I need a client for my phone
ActionParsnip, the machine is fine. After going through the forums etc. i've found it seems to be a commen issue.
fusk, A forum is not a cause and effect equaling common, it is for people to go with troubles the data is skewed.
aboudreault, do you have any good guide that you can link to? I'll be running it on a headless Ubuntu Server
ericus, I would have thought that on a mobile phone... it's simply status windows + channel windows.. so it doesn't care how many network you are. I might be wrong
waiting on his reply aboudreault i'm going to get him to check on this: http://askubuntu.com/questions/137747/acer-aspire-heats-up-in-ubuntu-10-10
But he did say he is running 12.10
ericus, This description This package provides kernel header files for version 3.4.0 on 32 bit x86 SMP. i am on 32bit?
food1 then x86 is correct
that's 32bit
hi all
Hi DereC
im bit stuck on ubuntu
machine is runnig without ui
mean no x server etc
connection is only thru ssh
now new hdd is added
is the machine headless DereC?
yes
then you won't have any GUI
trying to partition 3tb hdd on headlees machine
Unless you go for some RDP protocol
fdisk is not supporting more than 2tb
DereC, 3 terrabyte would be gpt
ericus, but install the amd64 bit kernel... I am not understanding why it should be 32 bit. See here the output of few command : http://paste.ubuntu.com/1324534/
wilee-nilee, yep, but gparted cant be run just with cmd
DereC: parted can
or?
hey guys, how do I disable xen/
wilee-nilee,  i'v been through all the forums to the distros i've tried, every ubuntu distros has this issue for many laptop users. don't think commen is so far fetched.
ericus, any idea?
defaultro_: uninstall it
food1, no, sorry man :(
wols, thats what im looking for
wols: worried that it might remove kernel too
And it seems to only happen for ubuntu, on fedora and fuduntu this does not happen.
aboudreault, are you satisfied with ZNC? Any guide that I can follow?
hello, which channel can I get help debugging a crash in unity/compiz 12.10?
ericus, yes I am, very easy to setup.
why doesn't my Pidgin allow me to use the SILC chat protocol?.. :-(
ericus, I just follow instruction on the site
and configured my options via the web interface
aboudreault, okay, thanks a lot! :)
in xchat how can i switch to dialog window via keyboard?
Im trying to install debug symbols for compiz but failes with broken dependency
arune: what dep?
 
compiz-core-dbgsym : Depends: compiz-core (= 1:0.9.8.4+bzr3407-0ubuntu1) but 1:0.9.8.4-0ubuntu3 is to be installed
(maybe I'd rather ask this in the Pidgin chatroom...)
I have added apt source: deb http://ddebs.ubuntu.com quantal main restricted universe multiverse
XiaolinDraconis, try in #xchat
arune: do you have updates to run or anything?
Erik_D: no
1:0.9.8.4+bzr3407-0ubuntu1 seems to point to a bazar revision
google gives that more people found that its not possible to install compiz debug symbols but no solution
Any ideas why gigabit LAN is slow while transfering files from Ubuntu 12.04 to a Windows 2008r2 Server using Windows File Sharing? Max speed about 25MB/s. With NFS on the server the speed is about 60MB/s
arune: No idea, sorry :/
And in Win 7 on the same machine to the server 90-110MB/s
fusk, I can appreciate your argument but it just a assumption. ;)
Erik_D: any clue if there is a better channel to get help at? #ubuntu-unity?
arune, #compiz perhaps
^
Ill try, thanks!
just testing irssi here.
wilee-nilee, true.
what is this guys -> title           Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS, memtest86+
kernel of that is pointing to /boot/memtest86+.bin
defaultro_:  it runs memtest86
which is a memory tester among other things
i know someone just answered me, but i accidently switched channels
ok
it's memory check tool
i knew it, it was the same as the one for dos.
how can i switch to a dialog window via keyboard?
i'm trying to figure out which kernel to use since i want to use non-xen kernel
XiaolinDraconis:  the answer was ask in #xchat
XiaolinDraconis:  so go ask in #xchat
thats fucking beautiful considering i have no mouse
thanks asshole
XiaolinDraconis:  /join #xchat
Hi. I've just made an update and my ubuntu isn't starting anymore (it shows me just a gray screen). what can i do?
you should learn IRC commands before exploding.
i know how to /join
XiaolinDraconis: also, why on earth are you attempting to use xchat without a mouse?
i dont have one available atm
(one might ask why attempt to use xchat *at all*, but that's out of scope here)
haha good one
XiaolinDraconis, just type it in
cause its default in buntu
i know how to do that
XiaolinDraconis, lets move on
XiaolinDraconis: kill xchat, install irssi, and use the keyboard for everything
boom, fixed
thing is the only populated and helpful channel in all of freenode happens to be #ubuntu
can someone say a good video editor for linux?
hello, anyone familiar with nginx here? I am dying of a frozen situation of "400 Bad Request Request Header Or Cookie Too Large" error, for the past 5 days now I can't fix it, after many attempts. even #nginx channel couldn't assist. can you pls give a push ?
and is there one where you could edit text too?
aaro, openshot
gordonjcp, thanks gordan ill give that a go, i managed to open keyboard shortcuts for xchat and dont see an option for switching already open channels
XiaolinDraconis: try something like ctrl-left and right or something
thanks,bazhang!
XiaolinDraconis:  ctrl+pgup or ctrl+pgdown if you are using tree format
if tabs, try ctrl+left or ctrl+right
sorry for the attitude, im sure you can imagine having no mouse makes for a bad day
does it?
hey, guys, im having real trouble with mac being able to boot any usb drives... none of the guides work and are all out dated
its happened to me before.
i don't explode on people from it though.
XiaolinDraconis:  ^
* gordonjcp rummages around to find a mouse
useful tips are still useless
at some point I unplugged my mouse to plug something else in and never got around to reconnecting it
but, I'm using Unity, which is pretty good for keyboard shortcuts
i have been advised to switch to unbuntu what are the main benefits from switching from windows to unbuntu
gordonjcp, had this been windows i wouldnt have a problem navigating with a keyboard
XiaolinDraconis: because you're more familiar with it
XiaolinDraconis: had I been on Windows I wouldn't have been able to navigate it at all, with or without a mouse
hello every body - iam trying to create a USB windows XP installer - i use unetbootin - but its asking me for the kernel - i dont know what to do - any help  ????
Windows is just baffling and weirdly inconsistent
which is why i posted a question to #ubuntu, as all of you are far more familiar with this than most windows users are with windows
gaby:  did you download an ISO of Ubuntu first, and tell unetbootin to burn that ISO?
rather than using its built in download-and-install options
Main-User, i find the best benefit, ive never had malware or virus infect my system, and when searching for support i dont get a lot of garbage in results
this is what i installed  " theLordOfTime"   sudo apt-get install gparted
Hi, I'm using 12.10, and I'm having issues with frequent disconnects of my wireless connection.  Any time I seem to loose connectivity, I ping my router and get no response.  Turning wifi off and on again fixes it, but only temporarily.  Anyone experience this?
I'm on a macbook pro and am using the proprietary broadcom firmware
(b43)
TheLordOfTime :  here is what i used         http://askubuntu.com/questions/192096/which-software-should-i-use-on-ubuntu-to-create-a-windows-xp-liveusb
but i take it there is still a chance u can get infected with malware/virus issues with unbuntu but just not as common
hello every body - iam trying to create a USB windows XP installer - i use unetbootin - but its asking me for the kernel - i dont know what to do - any help  ????
Main-User: no, there aren't any
i think viruses on linuc are really uncomment, there is no target audience for hackers
Linkandzelda: not really true
Linkandzelda: there are vastly more Linux machines in the world, sitting there connected to the Internet, than there are Windows machines
Linkandzelda: most sane people don't connect Windows machines directly to an Internet connection, they go through some sort of firewall or router
Linkandzelda: guess what that runs?
is that due to how much ubuntu is used.  I have heard that there are some malware/viruses for ubuntu
gordonjcp: i'm fully aware that most of the world's servers runs linux, they they are vastly more protected than the average linux desktop user
Linkandzelda: and the vast majority of ADSL modems and wifi routers
Main-User, no. please have a read.
gordonjcp: on my servers I have full on protection, but on my desktops i dont even have a firewall or anti virus installed lol
Linkandzelda: "full on protection", like what?
good morning
Here's a crazy question, I shoved Lubuntu down this Compaq TC1000's windows compatible little throat. I'm thinking 10.04 is too much for it I want to go with 9.01. Is there an easy way to downgrade?
Linkandzelda: I stuck fail2ban on it because I got annoyed with Chinese skript kiddies hammering away at port 22, but that's about it
gordonjcp: well things like CSF, clamav, spam assassin etc.
OpenSorce: nope
OpenSorce, 9.10? its end of life and not supported
OpenSorce: that's unsupported now
hi
OpenSorce: what are the specs of the machine?
hehe chinese scriptkiddies meh
OpenSorce, There is no desktop release before 10.04 that is not end of life.
Linkandzelda: oh, are you handling mail for Windows machines?
i unbanned them after a week and they're still trying me
we dont they give up after a few hours ban
Transmeta Crusoe TC5800 proc, 256mb ram
evilbetty, wrong channel
:p
evilbetty: I want to patch fail2ban to respond with things that'll trigger the Great Firewall
gordonjcp: IMAP in general, as well as wen hosting and dns
web*
well it happens on ubuntu server ;)
Linkandzelda: right, but I take it clamav is for scanning mail for people on Windows?
I know I know, old and unsupported version but this thing is too slow on 10.04
OpenSorce: it's going to be slow on just about anything
evilbetty, this is NOT the random chat channel. please stop it
gordonjcp: I guess it scans mail and files as well
OpenSorce: there is absolutely no difference in speed between any of the versions of Ubuntu, assuming you run roughly the same UI
OpenSorce: you should try 12.04 Lubuntu
Bad advice, my proc is not supported past 10.04 :-)
Transmeta Crusoe TC5800 proc, 256mb ram
i'll make it ontopic tho, when i install fail2ban and reboot, my ubuntu server edition never comes up again, if i remove fail2ban from the startup services my ubuntu box doesn't die
OpenSorce: sounds like you might want to try some other distro then
happened 2x so i doubt its coincidence, and as its a VPS i lost all access to it
OpenSorce: you could get something like buildroot and roll your own embedded-ish environment for it
gordonjcp: who what where
Bah... been swearing by Ubuntu since I gave up making my own distros with LFS... I may try DSL
gogeta1: hm?
Is there a way to see all my processes running? Ubuntu is running very glitchy
OpenSorce: do what hua
and its not iptables blocking, its actually ubuntu not booting fully, but without real access i cannot see what happens
willdabeast: use top command or isntall htop?
gogeta1, LFS? Linux From Scratch? May be before your time :-)
OpenSorce: so its not ok
no
ps aux > textfile, and then take ur time to read the textfile?
OpenSorce: came in halfway in the convo
OpenSorce: so your trying to do a lfs ubuntu?
ah well, i got offtopic remarks, but noone does even the answer to respond on my ontopic issue :)
gogeta1, No worries, I was trying to downgrade from 10.04 on this tablet with Transmeta Crusoe TC5800 proc, 256mb ram
gogeta1, I've been assured that the earlier distros will not run any faster so I'll leave it alone
OpenSorce: may i suggest bodhi linux for that
i probably shouldnt be saying it in this channel, but instead of trying to make ubuntu work faster isn't it easier using debian?
it looks and feels like ubnutu but is faster
OpenSorce: well unity is a resoruse hog
Still runs 5 times faster than Windows did. Yeah I've been looking at bohi
lets get back on topic please
*bodhi
much admit, debian is blazing fast, sorry for this off topic remark though xD
gogeta1, Using Lubuntu 10.04 on it atm
OpenSorce: it uses e17 fast and nice
hi
but seriously since the topic was fail2ban when i came in did other ppl notice ubuntu server not booting fully anymore after installing fail2ban and leaving it in startup services?
12.04 that is
OpenSorce: they use here own softwhere composting rather then use slow cpu falllbacks 12.10 uses
if i remove fail2ban from startupservices after install and before reboot everything goes fine, but if not i loose the box completely
Just such a pain to put anything on this tablet. No removable media drives, will not boot from USB... Netboot worked after several attempts though :-)
OpenSorce: wile still being nearly as light as lxde
gogeta1, thats enough
OpenSorce: outch
I'm gonna see if they have a Netboot iso for Bodhi
is there an Atheros mini-PCI 802.11 G/N wifi card that is known to work with 12.xx
anyway have fun im sure i'll find a chan without ircgestapo
Ouch, bodhi doesn't even have a channel here that I can see...
OpenSorce: its based on ubuntu
squeezed, The is a certified wifi card wiki, but it does not have every one that will work.
there*
Well that's encouraging...
gogeta1, and its not supported here, thus offtopic. please take it to PM with OpenSorce
OpenSorce: its like a base install with a wm and a few basics
hey guys I have a dumb question: I know ls displays contant of directory, but what does ls -l do?
so I'm getting the weirdest behaviour. I booted the 12.10 live cd and selected try ubuntu without installing. and it gives me a flashing "_" after hanging for about a minute
OpenSorce, #bodhilinux
wilee-nilee, I was looking for 1st hand reports cause I used that wiki to pick an intel card, but it has regression bugs in 12.xx
bazhang, so sorry for the off-topic :-P
*content is what I meant
wilee-nilee, thanks :-)
squeezed, Ah well you will get spanked for polling, just a heads up.
I know ls displays content of directory, but what does ls -l do?
4244533000002525	 02/14 	114	 RALUCA DUDAS 	ADDRESS	 CITY 	state	 zip code	 ROMANIA
Evdb: -l is "long" listing - see 'man ls'
the vendor I bought from is willing to exchange for another card... so can I find something that works? ...or do I wait ands see if bugs several years old get fixed?
jrib yeats Thanks guys ;) What in general do the extra letters after a command do?
hello, how is the best method or tutorial to send e-mail in ubuntu for a dummie ?
Evdb: they're options.  They modify the behavior in some way usually
Evdb: it's like the "preferences" window in firefox except for the command line
jrib Thaaaanks ;)
jrib Ah k! Great :)
Is there any place where I can learn in-depth information about disk partitioning?
paladinn, sending a email is the same for all OS's basically.
I cannot login to my ubuntu anymore. After trying to login I get a blackscreen for 2seconds and then it goes back to the login prompt. I'm under a guest account now
adding a new user didnt work
what tool can i use to spike cpu? I'm testing something
as in, I get the same thing
py_can: how much free space do your partitions have?
defaultro_: system monitor is in dash
ActionParsnip: more than enough i'd say
how to check in the guest acc?
py_can: run:  df -h
ActionParsnip: 114 gb avi
any hardware related help channels here ?
thanx guys you've been a lot of help
py_can: do you have a separate patition for /home ?
funch, ##hardware
i don't have gui
ActionParsnip: i dont think so
note im under a guest acc atm
and my regular home dir is encrypted
anyone familiar with this error? I got it after building psensors to add the ATI support: (psensor:1945): Gtk-ERROR **: GTK+ 2.x symbols detected. Using GTK+ 2.x and GTK+ 3 in the same process is not supported
then it dumps core
py_can: i've not used encryptfs, maybe others can help
how does on list a diretory ?
I installed ndiswrapper and loaded a driver.  As a result, my system hangs on boot.  Is there anything i can do from the live cd to uninstall ndiswrapper?
fusk: ls
fusk: list a directory?  y[ou mean ls?
ActionParsnip: in my last session i accidentally removed gnome-panel.. then switched to ubuntu 2d and in that session i reinstalled gnome-panel because i lost my unity @ login prompt. from there reinstalled gnome-panel and fiddled with nvidia display settings which made both my screens black
then i went into tty1 and killed lightdm, restarted it. now i cant get into it anymore
ActionParsnip, thank you.
Anyone help with Ndiswrapper?
lahwran: you can't link both gtk2 and gtk3 libs into a binary (as for how it happened, hard to know without seeing how you modified psensors)
hi, i can run /sbin/ifconfig but i can not run ifconfig. where do i have to add the PATH?
Benkinooby: export PATH=$PATH:/sbin
ActionParsnip: will that be permanent?
trism: I didn't modify it, just did configure options
Benkinooby: you'll need to add it in ~/.bashrc      what is the output of:  lsb_release -sc
Benkinooby, if you put if in /etc/profile or so
ActionParsnip: precise ... i did a minimal setup with fluxbox - it's not a default setup. why?
svspl: thank you - i will follow ActionParsnip advice and add it to ,bashrc
ActionParsnip: is there a way to uninstall ndiswrapper from live cd?
damn guys none of my macs are booting the live CD, anything i can do? ;-;
torontoyes: sure, i'd use a wired connection. Or you can grab the debs online and install them
Benkinooby: I'd have thought it would be default
Guys what does the 'dpkg' command do?
Evdb: it installs software
wols what's the difference with apt-get
stress tool worked great!
Evdb: installs, removes and queries the packages
ActionParsnip: I had no problem  installing it,.. but after install of the driver with ndiswrapper - i, my system hangs on boot
Unity is slightly glitchy for me right now, anything I can do to make it smooth out?
Evdb: apt-get downloads software incl. dependencies and does conflict resolution then calls dpkg
wols: none of it works, it boots the disc and shows the menu, i select try it black screens or i select install and it black screens
ActionParsnip: thats why I booted with live cd to recover the system
*totally offtopic*: what properties you except from a chat client?
Evdb: dpkg does the installing work, apt-get does the dependancy matching and so forth
wols Hmm I don't understand it fully but I'm a real beginner :s ActionParsnip
aaro, #ubuntu-offtopic
sorry, didn't know  but thanks for that too :)
ActionParsnip: thought so too... but since my system is far aways from default you shouldn't mind it that much... after all it is solved now. how can i set the modded .bashrc to action?
hi guys.what can i do about this?   Unable to load X Server Display Configuration page: The NVIDIA X driver on bcuraboy:0.0 is not new enough to support the nvidia-settings Display Configuration page.

I did
Linkandzelda: after using ndiswrapper with a driver for my wna3100 wireless adapter, My system hangs on boot.  I have booted into a live cd.  From Live cd, is there a way to disable the driver and uninstall ndiswraper
and apt-get update bartart3d
fusk touch /path/to/file
doesn't help
torontoyes: not sure why you are asking me, i wouldnt know, but if you can get into a terminal like single user mode you can do anything, i would presume
bartart3d, paste.ubuntu.com your sources.list
is there a unity specific channel ?
Linkandzelda: the recovery options I have don't allow write access..
Unity is slightly glitchy for me right now, anything I can do to make it smooth out?
thanks OerHeks
Hallo
torontoyes: i see, but what if you boot into single user mode from your hard disc and not the cd?
Linkandzelda: how do I do that?
at the moment. I am in live cd with access to the drive
1738 nicks? That's totally crazy man
torontoyes: thats something i dont know, as i never did it, but it involves adding some line to the bootup of grub, ive only done it once on a centos server
Linkandzelda: understood.. will try that and let you  know
Linkandzelda: thank you
wait a sec, I got it, thanks.. I removed the dvd's from the software sources, but there still was a line in sources.list, that's weird
willdabeast, Specificities are helpful. ;)
OerHeks, how do you edit that file, saving with leafpad doesn't work
what does the -e do in echo -en?
how can I make unity immediately recognize the changes I made with "gsettings set com.canonical.Unity.Panel systray-whitelist" command ?
fusk, outside your ~/home you need sudo to get priv. so ' sudo touch /path/to/file" and edit " gksudo gedit /path/to/file"
wilee-nilee, my man, whats up, well for example, the way you can scroll up and down on your mousewheel on unity and it does that smooth animation. It doesn't do that very successfully any more, meaning it seems like the framerate is low.
thank you
willdabeast, I'm not sure I can help I use gnome 3 myself, and am in W7 at the moment. ;)
nelson777br: you could try killing unity-panel-service, but I would just log out/back in myself
Hi there. I have a brand new Zoostorm laptop, it's a great machine except that for some reason WiFi is not working... I can't turn it on with the Fn-F11 Hotkey, and it isn't even registered in ifconfig. Help would be very appreciated.
This is the thread I posted to request support, if anyone wants to check it out: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=12331535#post12331535
I really don't understand what de 'e' does in 'echo -e'
man echo
wilee-nilee, mk well there's the problem, ubuntu just crashed due to the x server I believe. Are you very familiar with nvidia?
cellardoor, Try these two commands and see if anything shows  lspci | grep -i wireless
  lspci | grep Broadcom
willdabeast, Not really I have never had to mess with them.
wilee-nilee, thanks for responding. Nothing returned for either commands.
i'm trying to edit a file in etc/pm/sleep.d but gsudo gedit doesn't work.
oh cmon
fusk , gksudo
Is anyone very familiar with Nvidia X Server Settings?
BluesKaj, exactly, didn't work.
willdabeast, a bit. What's up?
http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/precise/man1/echo.1.html   <------ Evdb
fusk, /etc/pm/sleep.d
opensorce, well two things, 1 is I just got logged off automatically with what seemed to be an xserver issue. 2, I am having problems with Unity, I did mess around with compiz and I hope it's not that.
wilee-nilee, you may be able to help with the second part of ^
bazhang what is meant with interpretation of backslash escapes?
BluesKaj, yes, that's where the file is stored.
willdabeast, using a driver you got from Nvidia's website or one from the repository?
willdabeast, I would say that messing with compiz can cause problems, ou can reset it to stock though.
willdabeast, did you create a nvidia-xconfig file ?
Opensorce - yea I have the correct driver
BluesKaj I did a while ago yes
willdabeast, I can't say if it is the root of the problem though.
wilee-nilee yea I know I reset unity in terminal, could that have been the issue?
willdabeast, What release is this 12.10
because at one point unity and the above panel didn't even show up
12.04
willdabeast, You want to run that command from a alt-f2 not the terminal.
wilee-nilee ahhh, so do you think that is the root of the problem? or at least for the unity issue?
willdabeast, as well there is compiz --replace to reset it.  Not sure as far as all the problems
wilee-nilee ok I think that should work, should both commands be done in alt f2? or does compiz not matter
willdabeast, I gave up on unity and compiz about a year ago.
i'm trying to edit a file in etc/pm/sleep.d but gksudo gedit doesn't work
wilee-nilee what are you using now? docky or something?
willdabeast, gnome 3 and cairo dock
fusk why not do sudo nano /etc/pm/sleep.d from a terminal?
willdabeast, the gnome-shell
wilee-nilee hmm I'd be willing to try that out, Unity still feels like it's in beta to me.
willdabeast, Honestly I use synapse to find apps usually and the cairo-dock for the stuff I open often.
wilee-nilee yea I do have synapse, It's just sitting there right now though haha, wouldn't mind using it for once.
OpenSorce, how does the options work, i tried typing ^o but it didn't save it.
wilee-nilee any place in particular to find gnome 3? I think at this point you already know how new I am to this stuff
hi guys.what can i do about this?   Unable to load X Server Display Configuration page: The NVIDIA X driver on bcuraboy:0.0 is not new enough to support the nvidia-settings Display Configuration page.
bcuraboy do you have the correct driver activated?
yes,i'm using the recommended from the system
willdabeast, If you want to install it, sudo apt-get install gnome-shell  you also get the gnome fallback with kit as well the pseudo gnome 2 desktop as a choice in the login drop down
when i go to additional drivers i've installed the recommended
bcuraboy: you have mixed packages it seems. which ubuntu are you running?
it*
12.04
willdabeast, Unity actually sits on top of gnome 3 so the shell is just a few more pckgs.
wilee-nilee well apparently I already have it *facepalm*
wilee-nilee haha yea I guess I'm good then, just need cairo and to get rid of the excess.
bcuraboy: tried:   sudo nvidia-xconfig
done it now.should i logout or reboot?
bcuraboy: i'd reboot, if you get no disaply then boot to root recovery mode and delete /etc/X11/xorg.conf
wilee-nilee any particular way I should remove unity and compiz? I feel like everything I try and get rid of on here is like removing an antivirus program on windows.
ok.just tell me if necessary,how to get in root recovery
Upgrading 12.04 to 12.10 and getting stuck on flashplugin-installer.  Killing job puts system into position where it supposedly requires 'dpkg --configure -a'. Any method available to prevent Ubuntu from trying to get flashplugin?
willdabeast, I would not remove them they are rather small, and doing this is just a problem waiting to happen with dependencies.
i'm trying to edit a file in etc/pm/sleep.d but gksudo gedit doesn't work
wilee-nilee ok well I guess I will just reset them then like you said, btw cairo is awesome great call.
willdabeast, I like the cairo-dock as far as docks go.
hello,
fusk, ^x and it will ask you to save
OpenSorce, didn't work
wilee-nilee so is there anyway to at least make unity not visible? I'd rather not have 2 docks
that means ctrl x  fusk..... ;-)
fusk yeah, that means press and hold ctrl and hit x one time
unity panel can autohide
someone help me, i always fail to install, with error E: Could not open lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open(2: No such file or directory)

Does anyone know what this means?

torontoyes: do you use encryptfs
ActionParsnip: I don't think so
dr_willis wilee-nilee: E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpk), are you root ?
dr_willis: thats the problem
hayate: and are you using sudo?
dr_willis: yes, even using root user, i can't install
ActionParsnip: Any ideas?  I got this message after using recovery to clean some files
is there a /var/lib/dpkg  ?
hayate, Personally I wont help you, your nick is never the same and I believe you are running backtrack and continually use this channel.
wilee-nilee: Do you what it means when the system hangs at this point? http://paste.ubuntu.com/1324848/
hey everyone! I'm having an issue I THINK with Unity. I was trying to get my NVIDIA thing to display my two monitors as separate X screens (rather than twinview) and now my UI is a bit weird. some of the chrome is coming up black and the alt+tab is not pretty
Ubuntu 12.04
animations are not working, etc.
torontoyes, AS a guess it looks like a fsck was run, is it asking for a password?
yes
wilee-nilee: I typed password, lol, but nothing
torontoyes, Ah, not sure really.
tadi petunjuknya wilee-nilee, no .. i'm not using backtrack
wilee-nilee: is there a way to skip this.. whatever this is?
what I mean is.. how do I see why this is coming up and stop whatever this is so that it skips it?
dr_willis: thanks, i would try that
wilee-nilee: is there a way to skip this in the boot process?
torontoyes, I would not know really I have not had this problem, I generally know what I have had to do, and I keep my OS's cloned and in good shape and don't mess with problems past the time it takes to reload a clone.
wilee-nilee: lol
Understood
Thanks anyway
sure, ;)
umm it looks like unity 3D stopped working, can anyone tell me how to enable unity 3d?
drewh, You have any back leading to this state?
anyone have any idea what to do if only guest account is enabled on new install?
mpavel, are you sure what is the evidence of this?
wilee-nilee: back leading to this state?
hi can someone help me? just installed 12.04 lts, and system freezes after 5 to 10 min. error is as follows acpi error: method parse/execution failed [\_SB.PCI0.VGA_.AF03]
it's the only account displayed at login screen
I changed some settings in my NVIDIA x service and now it appears to have stopped working
it was working fine up until now
wilee-nilee: switched to ctrl+alt+f1 to terminal tried logging in as defined user in setup, no luck, tried root, no luck
drewh, In other words have you done anything that has led you to not having the animations, like graphic drivers messing with compiz....etc
I was messing with compiz, but I've reverted that
mpavel, Is this a direct install or a remote?
I only changed some key bindings in compiz
I did turn some plugins on then off...
drewh, Compiz is known to not follow fixes always logout then back in or reboot.
wilee-nilee: direct install, but with problems
I've rebooted a number of times
hello
wilee-nilee: tried to install (lubuntu 12.10) several times, from USB & CD and no luck. then I booted from live CD and ran Boot Repair, which allowed me to FINALLY boot the system up (which I'm using now) but only from the guest account :(
mpavel, If it were me I would just install again trying to fix it will take longer probably, but I just go with time spent generally against fixing
mpavel, This a fairly new computer possibly using a UEFI bios as far as the boot problem.
wilee-nilee: yeah, but I already went through the install process 5 times :(( I might try something else like Linux Mint - it's my dad's old computer that I wanted to install something light
mpavel, Mint is ubuntu in drag basically, with way less support just a heads up.
how does ubuntu handle multiple monitors?
or rather "how well" ?
wilee-nilee: ok, thanks, I'm off, getting late and no more patience to solve this, thanks for your help and a good day/night ahead! :)
mpavel, YOu might run the bootscript so we can see whats there, the bootrepiar generates a bootinfo url
Linkandzelda: I'm running two monitors with little issue
?
wilee-nilee: I have the Boot Repair pastebin: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1324811/
drewh: little issue? means there is a small issue?
mpavel, Thanks hold on
Linkandzelda: I haven't had issues with it
How do I convert .mdf
simplepro: mdf2iso
mpavel, I would post that script on the ubuntu forums with boot repair in the header, the maker of that app is there daily and a handful of regulars that know this stuff as well, I see a few anomalies but this needs one who knows more. ;)
y thank u
what file do I edit in order to skip certain things in my boot process?
wilee-nilee: ok, thank you again for your help!
mpavel, If you do the forum make sure the script posted represents the set exactly.
setup*
wilee-nilee: ok, I'll make sure - if I retry setup I will be a different one for sure
hello
mpavel, cool, hope you get it working.
where does mdf2iso put its output
all right, so I'm pretty sure that somehow I'm stuck in unity 2d
how do I re-enable unity 3d?
hi all! :)

lonewulf, use clamav instead of those 3rd party av
hello
jantony is clamav really better then bitdefender?
guntbert: can you help me ?
lonewulf, idk about better, but it is good. realize though that av protection can only protect against known viruses.
blackshirt: sadly no (at least at the moment)
guntbert: thanks, maybe some suggestions
:D
|Anthony| , I realize that I am also wondering whether or not I am just being over protective.
lonewulf, meh... i tried bitdefender tbh and it was not very helpful. clam was able to find things that that didn't
same is true when doing customer clean ups...
i've use mse, notron, bitdefender, avira or w/e that is. none were able to find things that clam did
not false positives mind you
|Anthony|, good point and as for your cheese problem, I had a difficult time trying to get my webcam working with it. I ran an upgrade to 12.04 and it works now.
wilee-nilee, do you know much about changing the icons on cairo? Essentially I wanted to just replace the program 'guake' with the terminal program but leaving the terminal icon there.
lonewulf, i'm already on 12.04
:/
willdabeast, I forget if I did. ;)
idk, it just wont go into full hd
|Anthony|, have you tried re installing cheese?
wilee-nilee haha alright, not that important thanks.
lonewulf, of course ;)
i'm having this weird issue after upgrading to 12.10 where xorg will go to 87% cpu on a core2duo 2ghz doing nothing
by nothing i mean, one terminal(9 tabs) and one system monitor is all that is launched
it jumps a bit, at 12% now, but was 87% when i joined. and gives a quite noticable lag.
|Anthony|, I am sorry I could not help, I am however enrolling in a computer class at my college and I will be focusing on Linux and programming, However right now my knowledge is limited.
Hello! I've upgraded to... Quantal with kernel version 3.2.0-18-generic, and now I can't mount FAT filesystems because NLS support isn't enabled in the kernel
wilee-nilee, have you tried cairo-dock 3.1?
"Codepage 437 is missing" it says
In dmesg
im at my wits end now, both my macs refuse to boot the live cd even with rEFIt installed
Rounin: you are not using the latest kernel for 12.04
Rounin: 3.2.0.30-32
Well, shouldn't it work with all kernels, iceroot?
Rounin: yes
How do I go about finding and installing  a C79 [GeForce 9100M G]  please?
Rounin: but its always good when facing bugs to install updates first
How do I go about finding and installing  a C79 [GeForce 9100M G] nvidia driver  please? is what I meant to say.
pangur:  the nvidia-current packatge/drivers dident work?
I had win7/ubuntu and now only have ubuntu.
* dr_willis isent sure what windows has to do with it...
nvidia-current tab
gives me links to non-free drivers
can anyone help me out with an issue I'm having with cloud-config in an ec2 instance? I'm trying to pass in an additional apt source and specifying a filename for it, but the file is never created. I can't figure out why.
and I think this used to work.
autojack: I guess #ubuntu-server will be better suited
When I had my windows installed, dr_willis, I used to be offered to activate nvidia driver/s.
hmm, I didn't know that existed. OK.
pangur:  the nvidia-current package in the repos installs the nvidia drivers here for me... i dont know what  links you are refering to.. or how windows would be affecting your linux drivers at all.

hey, i'm trying to make a bootable usb on windows using the latest unetbootin... I've formatted my drive to fat32, the windows standard. It's not booting... What is windows doing wrong?
bennis:  the pendrivelinux web site has alterantives to unetbootin that may work for you
bennis: firts question: did you set up booting from USB? (in BIOS)?
bennis, have you activated the usb boot option for your computer?
gunbert, indeed i have
bennis, is the booting option above the hard disk option?
dr_willis, the purpose of this is to display to a nonprofit how linux can be made to look like windows
bennis, you have to move your usb booting option ahead of hard disk in the boot order.
hhhzzzarn yes, the bios is giving some "remove all disks then push any button to reboot" error
hhhzzzarn guntbert asked that same thing, i'm pretty sure
bennis: 2nd question: does it boot from the stick at all (with errors) ?
bennis, I am not familiar with that error.
sounds like the bios is not seeing the OS on the stick.
guntbert No, i'm getting a "remove all disks then push any button to reboot" error
test the stick in other pc's try alternative tools to unetbootin.
dr_willis yeah, but is it a format issue or do i just need a *nix box to do it properly? i assume the partition doesn't have the boot flag for some reason
bennis: that message comes at the end of a live CD/USB session
dr_willis i don't have admin priviledges on this machine
bennis:   you can image the iso file straight to the flash if you wanted to.
guntbert, couldn't tell you why i'm getting it then
bennis: at this point, you can try "universalusbinstaller" from pendrivelinux.org
what is the shortcut to exist fullscreen window mode again (from memory)? I am stuck :)
hhhzzzarn: i have no admin rights
i'll look into it later
hhhzzzarn: in what application?
bennis, I don't think you need admin rights since usbinstaller does not install itself
but he may to get teh bootloader written to the flash.
Hello.
guntbert, in xubuntu in general.
hhhzzzarn: make xubuntu non-fullscreen? sounds weird :)
I downloaded Ubuntu, installed it to my netbook, decided I wanted to go back to Windows and used Darik's Boot and Nuke to get rid of Ubuntu... And now Syslinux Insane Primary (MBR) partition won't allow me to boot from the SD card I have Windows on. I used GParted to get rid of all the partitions on my HDD but it did not work. Can anyone help?
http://www.keyxl.com/aaac887/409/Xfce-Window-Manager-keyboard-shortcuts.htm
guntbert, I click on the window options and choose fullscreen, now I don't see the option icon or the minimize, resize, close buttons.
you use a windows disk/usb/tools to reinstall the windows bootloader to the mbr Steelcased_Sambo
Hi. My speakers don't mute when I insert headphones, and alsamixer doesn't help... Heelp :)
hhhzzzarn: I see - does the list from dr_willis help? ^^^
dr_willis - How do I do that? I have a laptop, a netbook and an SD card. I am semi-competent at best.
quick question is there a way to gut ubuntu to connecto to a server that is using web deploy
guntbert, i am looking
It's possible for me to mute speaker in alsamixer, but I'm installing ubuntu on a friends computer, who is a complete computer retard, so I can't tell her to go into alsamixer everytime she needs to use headphones
Steelcased_Sambo:  people in #windows may be able to suggest some tools.
Thank you.
duntbert, yes it did. Thanks dr_willis, could search myself but I could not access my xubuntu menu
does anybody knows the right channel for bonding/vlan tagging doubts?
hhhzzzarn:  i just googled for 'xfce keyboard shortcuts' ;P
T3: try ##networking
thanks guntbert
Steelcased_Sambo, When you use boot and nuke you need to make a new partition table.
How do I do that?
So I should reinstall DBAN to the sd card and d-ban again?
Steelcased_Sambo, You can do that with gparted, but you are just installing windows right?
steelcased_sambo, you can make a new partition table from ubuntu live cd using gparted.
O.k... So put Unbut on SD card?
but you don't have to install ubuntu, just the partition table and empy space.
Can I remove all partitions and achieve the same effect?
I have found my Software Sources dialog, dr_willis
O.k.
Putting Ubuntu on the SD card.
hey people.sometimes when i click on something movable(opera speeddial, middleclick in evolution, others) and move it i hear a slight scratching noise.this is disturbing...has anyone heard of it/ can anyone help me with that?
Will report back when I'm done.
Steelcased_Sambo:  you need to reinstall the windows mbr to the mbr of the hard disk if you want it to boot windows
#windows is dead.
Steelcased_Sambo, Cool, I would look up the use of the word sambo it is quote offensive. as well.
quick question is there a way to get ubuntu to connect to to a server that is using web deploy because in windows you have to use webmatrix but i not longer want to use windows
wilee-nilee - In this reference, "Sambo" refers to the Russian martial art.
Also, "steel-cased" --- Russia's preference for steelcased ammunition over traditional brass case.
I.E. - Tougher sambo.
Tougher martial prowess.
Steelcased_Sambo, I hope so but there are other uses, that are related that are racist.
There.
hehe cool
hi all.
dr_willis - How do I do that from Linux?
.
Steelcased_Judo:  no idea. i use windows to handle/repair windows.. the boot-repair tool might be able to do it.
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair
Steelcased_Judo, YOU still have the windows install and just can't boot to it?
Now that I have my nvidia driver installed, should I notice any difference from what I had with my opensource driver?
pangur:  faster eyecandy. and nvidia-setting tool lets you tweak things..
wilee-nilee - I don't have Windows installed.
ok thanks dr_w
dr_willis - I will try the boot repair tool. Thank you.
Steelcased_Judo, Cool, I was just going to suggest a open source bootloader if you did. ;)
i have a problem with ubuntu
if you dont have windows installed.. and you deleted linux/ubuntu... then what OS are you booting? ;P
i cant run the vb on  linux
dr_willis, I suspect he is getting a grub> and does not know of the out of the bios boot menu, besides maybe needing a partition table.
almatrix:  'the vb' meaning what?
visual baisc dot net
dr_willis - No OS. Gonna use Live Ubuntu.
dr_willis it mean visual basic dotnet
Steelcased_Judo:  so what exactly are you expectng these boot-repair tools to do?
dr_willis - From Ubuntu Live, I was hoping it would allow me to reinstall Windows.
dr_willis - It would repair or recreate the Windows MBR?
Should I use CairoDock w/wo OpenGl  ?
Steelcased_Judo:  you Might be able to make a sd card or usb you can boot/install from if you have a windows disk/iso..  You just said you had NO os.. so if the mbr is fixed theres no os to boot...
pangur, I use it with in the gnome skell
dr_willis - I DO have a Windows disk.

Hello all. I'm trying to run vpnc on a VPS running 10.04LTS I'm getting the following error. pastebin.com/xELJenS6 . I've had problems with getting the 'tun' to work and I've had this enabled by the VPS administrator. I'd be grateful for any help, thanks.
dr_willis - Or a Windows USB.
almatrix: that is so - I don't think monodevelop will suport VB.net
Does GL = Gnome Shell?
anyone help me , /var/lib/dpkg directory was missing .. and can't install anything
pangur, The gnome shell is the actual gnome 3 desktop.
aha so linux don't support it? guntbert
Heyy guys
hey jacob_p
I have 12.10 - so that is most likely to be gnome3, wilee-nilee ?
gnome2 died a few releases back. ;P
oh
anyone help me , /var/lib/dpkg directory was missing .. and can't install anything
pangur, If you down loaded ubuntu you have unity it is on top of gnome 3 as a plugin in compiz.
hey anyone here can tel me?
almatrix: please keep in mind that all .net languages are primarily a microsoft product, mono gives you a CLR, and FCL, but I don't know if there is a compiler for vb
It offers me two different cairos - one w opengl the other without.
wilee-nilee:  help me , /var/lib/dpkg directory was missing .. and can't install anything
I'm brand new to ubuntu, just installed it yesterday, and I've yet to be able to boot it, I keep getting a black screen at what I think is the login screen
almatrix: you can't really use Visual Basic in Linux
almatrix: you might get lucky with running it in Wine
blackshirt, What happens if you run a sudo apt-get update in the terminal first.

Hello all. I'm trying to run vpnc on a VPS running 10.04LTS I'm getting the following error. pastebin.com/xELJenS6 . I've had problems with getting the 'tun' to work and I've had this enabled by the VPS administrator. I'd be grateful for any help, thanks.
it's failed to run
almatrix: maybe you should try a language that is supported natively across platforms, like Python
but i am studying vb.net
ok

omg just booted up Ubuntu finally on my Macbook Air, and it's super!
Is that dual-booting, Linkandzelda ?
Anyone here know how to fix the black screen issue?
i only got as far as getting a live USB to boot
ok thanks
it took me this long and ended up having to use the Plop bootloader cd
Jacob_P, When is this happening?
When I try booting
Jacob_P, From a live cd/usb or a install?
I've tried adding the nomodeset and acpi_osi= parameters in grub,
And this is using wubi
Jacob_P, YOU have already tried what I would suggest which is the nomodeset to get in to load graphic drivers.
Those parameters get me a bit farther, I see the ubuntu splash screen, but when I get to what I assume is the login screen, it goes black
Jacob_P, Grub is different in a wubi so I'm not sure that works.
Should I uninstall wubi then and attempt the usb option?
jacob_p: what computer are you installing on?
Jacob_P, Wubi is basically for trying out ubuntu in lieu of a partitoned install, you might want to check your hardware in general with ubuntu.
Its an HP pavilion g6 with an intel HD graphics driver
Jacob_P: with some graphic drivers, you can get gui in 12.10 version. There was a bug filed. There was a temporary solution. Search launchpad.
fault
Will research that now, thank you

lol, how did ubottu know that :)
becauese I typed it :)
because
Oh right on, links are always awesome ahah
Not quite sure how I apply this patch?
I'm on a laptop running Ubuntu 12.04 (thor) and I have a headless server that runs Ubuntu 10.04 (odin). I can ssh to odin if I use its ip address (obtainable from my router's web interface), but if I try to ping odin from thor, I end up pinging myself. do I need to clear some kind of dns something or other?
invisime: Is Odin and Thor connected to the same router?
Diamondcite: yes. odin is connected via ethernet cable and thor is on the lan. but they're on the same subnet. (192.168.2.*)
do i need to restart crontab after making changes?
everywhere it says no but my changes aren't getting picked up
ec8or_: Any changes made to crontab should be instant, no restart
ec8or_: How did you change your crontab?
crontab -e
if i run it again my changes are there still
ec8or_: And you are sure you have the syntax right? (The command is correct, I wonder if cron is running)
and older entries still run so can't be anything too wrong in there
ec8or_: What kind of cron are you trying for?
http://pastebin.com/cjE6XyhM
there it is
just running a php script
the /cron one runs, but the /song/cron is never retrieved
checking the emails that are send it doesn't look like cron is even trying
added the mail contents to the pastebin
got a new line after the second line as well :)
ec8or_: I might be imagining, but you didn't tell it WHEN to run?
dr_willis - I used Gparted on Unbuntu lIVE to destroy all partitions... Do I create a new partition now on gparted?
Jacob_P: for now you have to use 12.04 :(
steelcased_judo: yes, new partition table :)
What partition file system does Windows run on?
Fats 32?
ntfs
modern windows run on ntfs
Steelcased_Judo: wundows  installer can partition
Diamondcite: what do you mean? doesn't * * * * * mean every minute?
Steelcased_Judo, NTFS and put a boot flag on it in gparted
don't create windows partitions using gparted, is my recommendation
dr_willis - When I try to use Windows installer the SysLinux MBR doesn't recognize it.
dr_willis, don't create windows using gparted.
wrong person
ec8or_: Hrm, sorry maybe I mis-read, but in that case, can't you use a cron.minutely?
Diamondcite: true, not sure why that would work better but might as well try
Steelcased_Judo: you need to have the windows setup disk reinstall the windows bootloader to the mbr
ec8or_: I am checking your cron line at the moment.. please stand by.
dr
hello do you know if jackd has low latency with soundblaster usb sb1090?
dr_willis - The Syslinux MBR won't let me! How do I do that?
dr_willis, can't you download only the windows repair part on a cd or usb?
ec8or_: have you stated WHERE the wget file should go?
i got some software center repositories disabled when i upgraded to 12.10, how to enable them back?
they do not appear on sources.list only on app software center
Diamondcite: yes it is a controller, works fine when loading in a browser. And either way you would think there would be a wget entry in the crontab mail even if it didn't load
syslinux  has nothing to do with it... and the lifehacker site had links to legal windows recovery isos at i
one time
anyone here use xubuntu? trying to confirm a memtest issue with the 12.10 amd64 iso... for me it always fails at ~43%.. remade the startup disk multiple times
ec8or_: Maybe you can have your wget log the output to see if it's running but maybe hitting an error for running too quickly?
ohdarn: memtest86+ type memtest?
ohdarn, I do
ohdarn, I do not have amd64, I have i386 xubuntu 12.10
Diamondcite: yes that memtest
ohdarn: Sure your ram itself is good?
Now says error: no such partition
hhhzzzarn: have u run the memtest from usb/cd before? I swear its borked
grub rescue>
Diamondcite: yeah will dig a bit deeper, thanks anyway for answering my initial question
ohdar, I have not
ohdarn: I have also had cases in the past where keyboard presses caused error at a VERY specific point
yes, I just switched the image to another computer, fails at 43% as well.. tried 12.04 and passes on both
ohdar, you can search online to see if others have the same problem
Steelcased_Judo, What windows release is this?
heya guys, i have an ubuntu server running in my home network, is there a way to make it so it cannot access the rest of my network?

Steelcased_Judo, there is a out of the bios boot from menu you need to get there, mine is tapping f12 at powering on till you see it, you key access may be different.
SirScott: #ubuntu-server seems better suited for good answers :)

How to list all users belonging to the specific group ?
alexfpms: getent group <groupname>
alexfpms: groups <groupname>
svspl, groups gives the users groups
yes I can see my mistake now, sorry
guntbert, thanks man
guntbert, when i add a user to the group how can i make the changes take place without reboot ?
usermod -G <group> <user> instead of `vigr`
alexfpms: no need to reboot, the user must only log out, and log in again
svspl: please warn people that that removes users from all their groups
guntbert, ok it simpler. But i'm curious if there some way to reload the changes without log out, log in ?
then usermod -G -a
svspl, thanks but i know how to add the user to the group
alexfpms: no, group membership is only applied at login, not during a session, that applies to all linux/UNIX OS
guntbert, thanks, it is more clear now
newgrp :)
(though it doesn't do what you want probably)
alexfpms: You're welcome
jrib, good try but it doesn't reload group members
how can one mount a truecrypt drive during boot time as early as possible
satwood, You trying to mount it open with the password?
Hey all. I was wondering if there is an easy way to open a .iso that is already packaged into a bootable vmware image.
So that I can get the contents.
wilee-nilee: yes, because i cant supply it at boot time, i want the truecrypt drive to come up by itself without manual intervention
Is the US mirror down or something?
satwood, Kinda defeats the use of it anyone could get in don't you think?
hi
wilee-nilee: yes, i don't konw how else to do automatically (without it asking) upon boot up.
satwood, With a quick look at the web I think you need a script to be run, I can't really help beyond that. I use truecrypt, but I just encrypted a file rather then a HD.
wilee-nilee: ok, i do have a init.d script, i am trying to see how to start this before any other scripts
satwood, Cool I can't really help sorry.
has anyone encountered the problem during fresh ubuntu 12.04 install the system freezes every time?
checksum is good, and no errors found on the diskc
during the install it freezes? or after a fresh install..
devart, You just getting a black screen maybe not an actual freeze.
freezes where exctly..
neh.
during the installation... after format, gets to approx 40% of the progress bar and freeze... Ive thought it takes a long time to get passed that portion of the install so i waiting a good hour and nothing happening with no keyboard activity (num- light not active)
i can type, where i am for timezone
and setup user
but then freeze
so just the installer hangs? not the whole OS?
dr_willis: i can run the live cd- but install crashes, crashes by just freezing... because of this encounter im using the 11.10 kubuntu
i think your definition of freezing is confuseing people...
dr_willis: IM NOT 100% sure.. but I think that a problem may have occured on my hard drive somehow after having Fedora 17 installed
the Installer just stops? or does the entire machine stop as well? can you still type.move mouse, and run apps after the imnstaller hangs>
can i sync a flash drive with ubuntu 1
if you repartione/formated the Fedora install its gone and cant really be affecting stuff.,
basketballstar, I think the sync has to be under the users files
hello

hi, i tried to install jenkins, but it has almost 150 dependencies, its just a war file, whats wrong here ?
hello, a marginally related question
456
where is a good place to ask about gnuplot issues?
i need to open tor-browser_ar
dr_willis: fedora released an update which would allow fedora to load partially, but before the splash(loading)screen would complete it would drop to terminal with errors, but no command line and frozen... no keyboard activity....... anyhow after this wouldnt correct i decided to format and install ubuntu 12 again and work around the unity-desktop  --- as per the ubuntu 12.04 install, I am able to load the cd, enter live cd if i
choose,  and start the installer...... the installed suggests the partitioning and formats then prepares for install.. during prepapre for install then prompts for location to get time zone, then username, and password etc...
it is open with gedit
devart:  sounds like the details of the issues are pointing to some common hardware issue.
i need open start-tor-browser
dr_willis: after all input is entered the installing progress bar will FREEZE, no mouse movement, no keyboard activity, light on the num-pad doesnt not function, ctrl+alt+delete no funct., and if i reboot my computer hangs on ram count until i shut down for a short duration
dr_willis: where you trying to tell me something with that ? because if so, i didnt get it
it is open with gedit
ineed to open it with shell
like .exe in windows
ControllerSYR:  if you mean you need to make the script executable . then you set the permissions/executable bit on it...
what is the user files
basketballstar, The files on the OS
wilee-nilee,
in that users account basketballstar
[twisti]:  somthing seems odd with your 'its just a war file' and the package descrition of it being some sort of 'server'  - but ive never used it..
i cant edit permissions
how do i move a flash drive there then
if the file is owned by your user you could...
its a server. comes as a war file. runs with just java installed, as far as i know. i suppose im going to have to install it manually if the package is this broken, im not installing 142 dependencies for something that runs completely standalone
well thanks for the help dr_willis

Windows 7 has something called, "Stereo Mix" which allows recording of sound output (before speakers). Does Ubuntu have an equivalent to this?
how can I update a package?
raj, Beyond what is in the repo?
no, to the latest repo version
my current node.js version is 0.5.5
I want the latest 0.8.x
ok, yeah, theres definitely something wrong with this package, its just a server module that responds via http, this should not require x11 and sound drivers to be installed
raj, is this not offered in the release you are running, and are you sure this version is in the repo?
so is there any way i can get help with that or report a bug or something ? or am i just screwed and doomed to skip the package and do a manual install ?
raj,If it is the repo a standard update would be all you need.
is in*
how do you do that?
oh no, I don't have the package manger version
i just looked it up in synaptic
that is ollllddddd!
raj, In the terminal sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
Windows 7 has something called, "Stereo Mix" which allows recording of sound output (before speakers). Does Ubuntu have an equivalent to this? How can I record sound output?
[twisti]: what are you actually doing exactly?
wilee-nilee, I probably don't have the package manager version
since mine is even newer
nm
jrib: i wrote "sudo apt-get install jenkins"
which i expected to result in the download and installation of jenkins, not x11 and pulse
Razer_, audacity is an option! very good if you ask for my opinion
but i aborted when i saw the page filling list
[twisti]: try without installing recommends
hey friends, Is anybody experiencing white menus when you guys right click on the desktop, or on the little settings icon on the right top corner?
mmgc84: I have Audacity, but I can only record microphone input. I'm trying to figure out how to record the sound output, similar to "Stereo Mix" in Windows 7.
oh, recommends is another page, thats just the requireds
[twisti]: what?
suggested is a 2nd page of stuff
you can disable option to apt to not install recommended packages
or am i missunderstanding you ?
Razer_, you need to install pavucontrol
[twisti]: apt-get will install recommended packages by default, try passing --no-install-recommends (or whatever the option is; see apt-get's man page)
Razer_, then start recording in audacity, then open pavucontrol and you should see audacity listed in the recording tab. select the monitor of your soundcard as the source device
oh, 1 sec
still 50 different things
[twisti]: and?
kostkon: okay, will do. Thanks for the help. :)
Razer_, np
that seems a lot for something that usually comes as a single file
and i dont see why i would install something like x11-commons
[twisti]: well the dependencies look like a bunch of java packages
anybody?
sure
[twisti]: is x11-common still being installed when you pass --no-install-recommends?
pulling in some sort of gui sounds like.
yes
as well as when i use dr_willis' suggestion with -cli
im just reading up on it at   https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/quantal/+source/jenkins
sync either ubuntu 1 or dropbox to flashdrive for both windows and linux
I did  but no one answered it. I have a white menus on my top right corner panel and on the right click with the mouse. I dont know what happend, they were fine.
hemm, unity 12.04 cowsquad ?
unity 12.10
[twisti]: I guess you'd have to trace the dependencies yourself to realize why it's being pulled in, but I don't see what's the big deal about installing x11-common
cowsquad, i don't know what it is.. I don't have play with unity anymore
Hi. I'm intending to dual-boot win8 and Ubuntu 12.10, and I'd like to have my disk encrypted. My question though is first would this be possible and second if it is which encryption (BitLocker or the Ubuntu setup encryption) should I use?
what do you have blackshirt?
basketballstar, with a quick google I see this a portable dropbox for a usb. http://www.petenetlive.com/KB/Article/0000409.htm
cowsquad, xfce ....
xfce, is it better that unity?
jrib: im uneasy about something installing things that it clearly doesnt need, like x11 and sound drivers for a server module that runs automated builds
try the differnt desktops and decide for your self which one you like.
its not the end of the world, i just dont like it, because its so nonsensical
cowsquad, for me yes
[twisti]: it's likely just some capability of the software you don't use/don't know about that requires it
[twisti]: it could also just be something that the jre packages require for whatever reason.  I don't know
blackshirt, so that is xubuntu right?
[twisti]: is it pulling in the jre?
yes, and for some reason its pulling in BOTH (normal and headless)
kostkon: How would I go back to recording from the microphone?
cowsquad, exactly, not full xubuntu system, i build it from scratch
Razer_, just change the device from monitor to your mic for example, or any other input you want that is listed in the drop down menu.
[twisti]: do you already have headless installed?
Razer_, if you leave the recording source to monitor pulseaudio will remember your choice the next time you open audacity, so yeah, if you want to change it back, do it before closing audacity.
jrib: yes, but jre7, not 6
blackshirt, How do I extend a free space on my hard drive using disk utility?
of course, i would WANT it to run on 7 anyways
cowsquad, thats a different topic ... Maybe better using gparted
Does anyone have some experience with 'Deepin'? I am wondering whether to switch to that as opposed to synaptic and ubuntu software center.
okay, thank you blackshirt
kostkon: so, while recording with Audacity, I have to change it to "Monitor of...", and then it will automatically switch to recording output, and I change it back to the other item in the dropdown to make it record microphone again?
blackshirt, im about to try xubuntu desktop out :)
Razer_, yes, it works in real time, on-the-fly, don't worry, you can change devices any time you want during a recording
cowsquad, good lucks guys
kostkon: Okay, well, it's not recording mic anymore at all, even if I change it to the option that isn't "Monitor of..."
thank you :)
Razer_, hmmm
[twisti]: libjnr-posix-java seems to pull in x11-common, follow that if you want
not sure how you mean that
'follow that' ?
Does anyone have some experience with 'Deepin'? I am wondering whether to switch to that as opposed to synaptic and ubuntu software center.
kostkon: the only options are, "Built-in Audio Analog Stereo" and "Monitor of Built-in Audio Analog Stereo"
[twisti]: you can follow the dependency chain if you are still not sure why libjnr-posix-java should depend on x11-common
willdabeast, deepin ?
oh
ill have to give it some thought
willdabeast: Deepin seems to be it'sown distro
actionparsnip is that right?
willdabeast: http://www.linuxdeepin.com/   yes
there is a deepin software center for ubuntu
Razer_, hmm. for a start, check the volume level of your mic
cowsquad, if you have experienced with apt system, you can switch your desktp env easily
[twisti]: actually it's probably just default-jre when that gets pulled in
hi
actionparsnip well there's also a deepin software center, that's why I asked, some people seem to prefer it.
willdabeast: try it is all I can suggest, it won't be supported here
[twisti]: if you can satisfy the dependencies regarding the jre beforehand and not let apt try to pick a jre for you, you might be able to avoid x11-common
Razer_, you can do it in pavucontrol, just select the input devices tab
kostkon: Ahh, I found it. In the Input Devices tab, the Microphone was muted.
Razer_, :P
how would i do that ?
willdabeast: could ask in #linuxdeepin
id rather everything that wants java use 7 anyways
willdabeast, I would use the cli and apt-fast.
ActionParsnip, alright thanks.
[twisti]: well do you have openjdk-7-jre-headless installed?
Is the Xubuntu desktop or Ubuntu LXDE desktop lighter?
wilee-nilee, for what?
wilee-nilee: +1 for apt-fast :)
help me fix my wireless please
yes
ekaj: Lubuntu is slightly lighter
Than both of those?
wilee-nilee, apt-fast was not reliable way event it was more faster than standar way
Event
Even
willdabeast, For getting apps, it is faster, but if your looking for a gui you can try deepin.
fix my wireless please?
Hi guys
wilee-nilee ah alright thanks
blackshirt, apt=fast is reliable here.
xx: why not give some details rather than repeat the same pointless phrase
ActionParsnip: Lubuntu is lighter than LXDE and Xubuntu?
ActionParsnip, okay, well my laptop isnt detecting my wireless
ekaj: Lubuntu uses LXDE
xx: what wifi chip do you use?
wilee-nilee, i think apt-was not handle partial install correctly
apt-fast was not
Okay, I was asking because it has a Lubuntu minimal and an Ubuntu LXDE desktop choice
Another problem, there's a program I am uninstalling through ubuntu software center, and it seems to be stuck "applying changes" I've restarted the software center, no changes, any workaround?
blackshirt, faster not sure really, but I like that it downloads the code, I never do partial installs, so I'm not sure there.
ActionParsnip,  how can i know\?
ekaj: you can install lxde only if you want. If you want super light just install openbox and use it on it's own (no desktop) for absolute lightness :)
I was wanting a lightweight host to run VMs =p I was going to try the Ubuntu-server approach
xx: sudo lshw -C network     what is the product line for the wifi?
Thanks for your help though
ekaj: install server and you can manage the VMs using the VIC on another system

ActionParsnip,  the output of lsb_release -sc : lucid as in lucid lynx
ah, yeah, i guess it already did that for me before that

eol?

really?! i thought it was the stable version of ubuntu. what is Precise?
can anyone help me? I was installing this program and it has been stuck there for about 30 minutes now, not a big program. Any workaround?

xx: Precise is Ubuntu 12.04
it did not tell me what i need
ControllerSYR: uname -m
i need to know if my linux 64 or 32
ControllerSYR, if it says generic it's 32bit otherwise it's 64
ok
what is precise like compared to lucid?
xx: 2 years newer?
xx: it uses Unity as a replacement for Gnome-panel but it can be installed
xx: it has later versions of the packages that make up the OS
thanks
ciao
hi
kostkon, ??? generic ?
alexfpms, ??
kostkon, i have 64bit and uname -r gives me: 3.5.0-17-generic
alexfpms, you have 64bit cpu but the 32bit version of ubuntu
kostkon, but uname -m gives: x86_64
kostkon, no
alexfpms, right
alexfpms: -r   just gives the release, there are 32bit and 64bit versions of each release
kostkon,
ActionParsnip, exactly
alexfpms: -m   shows the machine which is the arch of the kernel :)
ActionParsnip: Do you ever have problems with xfce where say, you can't move a window with alt-F7 down or to the right?
ActionParsnip, ok unama -a to show all the info
wabash: not when I used it, I use LXDE now
alexfpms: true but if you want specific bits you can add switches :)
test
okay
ActionParsnip: How do you like that? Is it stripped down a bit compared to XFCE?
can i instal the updated vversion of ubuntu with installing updates?
ActionParsnip, ok what do uname -p ?
in 12.10 anyone had sound then lost it?
ActionParsnip, it gives processor
i have ubuntu on dual boot and im scared some files will be lost.
xx: you can upgrade from Lucid to Precise as you are upgrading to the next LTS
xx: yes. you can upgrade from 10.04 to 12.04 through the LTS upgrade
LTS?
xx: Long term support
xx, Back it up before upgrading, personally I would clone it to be safe.
wilee-nilee,  what are the risk that some of my files would be destroyed?
hot_wheelz: try:  killall pulseaudio; rm -r ~/.pulse*   wait 10 seconds then try sound
xx: you will have backups if your data is important
xx, It is not the risk here is it can you afford to have anything bad happen.
ActionParsnip: Can you do most nifty things in LDXE that you can with XFCE?
not really wilee-nilee
wabash: what do you need?
i suppose then ill upgrade some other time
i just really need to fix my wireless quickly
ActionParsnip: Well, I liked gnome 2.x. It worked really well for me for programming. Gnome 3 does not; it gets in my way I feel. So I'm looking for what's closest to Gnome3: XFCE or LXDE. I use XFCE on Fedora now.  It's a bit clunky sometimes.
xx: Is the system a laptop?
yes aCTION
ActionParsnip, *
wabash: xfce is probably closer
ActionParsnip: ok, thanks.
Anyone here know if Gnome3 with tweaks comes very close to Gnome 2?
xx: then use a wired connection and get updates as well as install the drivers there, broadcom are the easiest to install
hello: ok, attempting to boot first install on hp e-Vectra, now goes to boot: prompt without doing anything.  Attempted "install" and says "could not find kernel image: install
bubblehouse: did you MD5 test the ISO you downloaded?
ActionParsnip: just suddenly started loading right now... was at boot: prompt and then just started on its own
at splash screen now.
xx: like I said, your release has 6 months of life left in it. After then you will get no updates and no support anywhere
bubblehouse: what video chip do you use?
action what about one one osiric whatever that distro was called?
version* not distro :p
not sure yet.  Just got this CPU from someone, trying to load up lubuntu, sorry I'm so uninformed.
it's attempting to load.  will let you know once I get a cli back or something
xx: Oneiric Ocelot - Ubuntu 11.10   also dies on April 2013
hello everybody
oh wow so i need to change my tower too :<
i hope Precise is better than Oneiric
xx: lets put it simply. In April 2013, the only 2 releases supported on the desktop will be Precise (Ubuntu 12.04) and Quantal (12.10) as well as Lucid on the server
IT BETTER BE BETTER :p
xx: you don't need to change anything, just install the newer release
and back my stuff up before that
xx: why do you not already have a backup?
i think you could simply go on with what you have...
couldn't you?
i dont back my stuff up for some stupid reason accipter
ActionParsnip,
its very stupid of me
hello ActionParsnip
what a good backup for ubuntu
cloud__: howdy
tom89: a nice big USB HDD is cheap and easy
how does ESXi compare to Ubuntu erver when it comes to hosting VMs?
tom89, I use clonezilla for clones and grsync for home
ActionParsnip,  writing from lubuntu, after your advices on partitions etc
cloud__: sweet
ActionParsnip,  i just said goodbye to microsoft
Gooplus.fr do you like ?
cloud__, Did Balmer rant at you. ;)
cloud__: hehe enjoy dude :)
wilee-nilee,  i hope so
I will try clonezilla
:D
now i just knew about a broser, xxxsomething
tom89, You can do whole HD's or partitions, and it also saves the mbr.

don't know if it's worth installing ir

can I change to pci=noacpi without logging into ubuntu? (because I cant :) )
I mean from grub or something
I just added a user with "adduser"
And when i enter "users"
minas: hold SHIFT at boot
the new user wont show up
Faceless: how about if you run:   groups username
Faceless, man users
hello, I am looking for information on the black SEO. there is SEO software for ubuntu?
Faceless, users - print the user names of users currently logged in to the current host
oh
thank you
ActionParnship: At boot of ubuntu? at the screen where I choose to boot ubuntu/windows 7 etc?
or after I selected to boot into ubuntu
?
for {spin} or autosubmit in free directory
minas: press E on the ubuntu kernel and then you can add it on the same line as:   quiet splash
but when i try to use "chown guest:guest folder" it acts as there is no "guest"-user
I've got a laptop with no trackpad buttons.  One finger tap is like the left button.  A two fingered tap is like the right click.  Any idea what's used usually for emulating clicking both buttons?
Faceless, there is no guest user
ok
why?
i used adduser guest
Faceless: the OS comes with a guest account......
Faceless: why are you making another?
ActionParnship: thanks a lot!
minas: now you are booted you can add it permanently using the desktop OS :)
idk actually, i was going to make an account for my friends to access my ftp-server
my god, this is very amazing, guys. i used linux a lot of time ago, when lxde was just born, and i had to do a lot of things just to watch a youtube video. it's really impressive to see how much things have changed... just wanted to thank you all for the advices, and say "see you soon"
Faceless: then I'd choose a different name, like his name...
Faceless, what does command "adduser guest" said ?
Faceless, it created guest folder ?
nothing special
yeah
just like if i created a normal user
Faceless, cat /etc/passwd is there guest inside ?
yes
Faceless, so normally it is here
Faceless, try log out, log in
with the actual user
?
yes
ok, now?
yes
I've installed a basic mail server package using tasksel install mail-server, and I have IMAP working properly with Thunderbird. However, I can't send email. I get "Relay access denied" from Postfix. ideas?
any updates on https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1064621
hi guys
"guest" is still there
Faceless, what is the problem so ?

hot_wheelz: tried the alsa ppa?
hi again
hey guys, having big trouble with "general protection fault" mode. I have a black screen but the mouse seems to move, altought i cannot do anything with the keyboard but the pritn-screen does work "i only hear the click". I'm now supposed to install a patch for the program that caused this, and i know how to do that. I only don't know how to get out of this GPF mode. Please help!

HEy guys. I am trying to mount a raw disk as a loopback device. There is an error I am being given, "you must specify the filesystem type". Anyone have any ideas?
i want to run "chown guest:guest <folder>"
mikubuntu: libreoffice can export to PDF and you can then send that
i have an external sound card , name is EDIROL, it works fine, but if i unplug and plug it back system wont recognize it, any idea ? i try to restart  alsa but no luck
Faceless, what groups guest says ?
"filetransfer"
ActionParnship: I edited /etc/default/grub, added acpi=off, sudo update-grub and now it works
thanks again
ActionParsnip: I know that, and I will -- but, still the question -- isn't microsoft SUPPOSED to be able to read .odt?
mikubuntu: no idea, try asking in ##windows
Faceless, groups guest gives filetransfer ?
anybody here managed to get iOS 6 devices to print via cups?
no idea ?
mikubuntu: and you mean MS OFFICE is able to read odt, Microsoft is a company, not a software
yes, i added it to the "filetransfer"-group
ActionParsnip: yes, OFFICE
hello, pls what's the correct cron job formula? I am trying to run a cron at every 30 mins of every hours, everyday 30 * * * * wget -O - -q -t 1 http://www.thestorecomplex.com/cron.php
mikubuntu: there is a difference
Faceless, so chown guest:guest wont work because there is no group guest
freetown2: can it connect to http printers?
ActionParsnip: I HATE MICROSOFT
mikubuntu: ok......
but when i TAB after "chown " my username fills in automatically
Faceless, when you create new user, the default group it creates is the same as the user name
Anyone have any ideas?
so i should have entered "filetransfer:guest"?
Faceless, but you changed the default group by filetransfer
Faceless, chow guest:filetranfer
cakeboss: what filename are you trying to mount?
Faceless, user:group
ok
ActionParsnip, http printers? nope, it won't 'see' them because they won't advertise image/urf support
but when i TAB at "chown gu" nothing fills in?
freetown2: you could share the printer with samba, can the OS connect to windows shared printers?
except for one very new printer that we will soon put away
Faceless, not gu but gru
ActionParsnip, iOS 6. As in them dumb tablets that do airprinting?
Faceless, *gro
freetown2: not used one, I refuse  to buy apple products
ActionParsnip: I am trying to mount a raw file through a loopback device
cakeboss: so its an image of a CD? Or something else?
ActionParsnip, yeah, not my choice either. schools here are kinda sold on Apple crap
well, i expected it to fill in guest from gu
cakeboss: If it's a disk image, rather than an image of a fileystem, then you'll need to expose the partitions using kpartx first.
ActionParsnip: I converted a .vmdk to a .raw I am trying to convert it to a .iso...So I guess now it is just an image?
Faceless, sorry i've mistaken
cakeboss: What is your end goal?
np
Jordan_U: To convert this .vmdk to a .iso
Faceless, so when you do chown guest:filetranfer does it work ?
no
freetown2: http://leimobile.com/how-to-setup-airprint-on-ubuntu-11-10-desktop/
cakeboss: A: That's not an end goal B: That's not possible. What is your end goal?
Faceless, and what does it says ?
Jordan_U: To see the contents of JanusVM. I am using: http://www.turnkeylinux.org/blog/convert-vm-iso
cakeboss: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/howto-mount-ntfs-vmware-virtual-disk-image-vmdk-readwrite.html   why convert it
ActionParsnip, ahem, it works with iOS 5 but not with iOS 6 in which Apple has helpfully changed its printing
ActionParsnip: Read what I said to Jordan_U
freetown2: is it not the same method?
alexfpms: uhm
ActionParsnip, nope. They now do urf instead of pdf -_-
cakeboss: Since the image is presumably of a virtual drive with partitions, and you mount partitions not drives, you first need to make the partitions accessible. That can be done with "sudo kpartx -a /path/to/disk.image".
freetown2: sounds greeeeeeat
alexfpms: it seems like it worked now
Faceless, do you know that you have to run it as root ?
Jordan_U: Thanks
freetown2: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=12254866
cakeboss: Then you can mount the actual partition, which can be accessed via /dev/mapper/loopXpY
cakeboss: You're welcome.
ActionParsnip, i had to modify the avahi server files to advertise urf. Yeah, I know. I'd like to black out Infinity Loop
Thanks again
alexfpms: yes, but i think the problem solved after i rebooted
ActionParsnip, been there, done that and no go.
Faceless, chown gu + tab doesn't work beacause you are not in the filetransfer group
freetown2: you can copy a PDF to the server, then run:  lpr filename.pdf   in an SSH session and it will print
Hey guys I am looking for a good, lightweight email client, gmail is nice but for multiple accounts. it sucks =) thunderbird is way to heavy and slow (strange since I am on a i5 with and 4gb ram hehe) and I need it to support html templates.. any ideas?
alexfpms: oh, ok
cakeboss: Note that that's explicitly stated in the website you linked to, "GOTCHA 1: If your VM has partitions, it's a little tricker. You'll need to setup the loop device, partition mappings and finally mount the rootfs partition. You will need kpartx to setup the mappings. :".
ActionParsnip, thanks, I'll tell that to the rest of the school. :-)
alexfpms: well, thanks a lot anyway!
Faceless, ;)
vespakoen: if you like text-based apps, consider mutt
Jordan_U: Yeah I was just about to ask about that haha
cakeboss: :)
freetown2: well if they want to buy proprietary stuff which doesn't play nice with anything but itself, you're gonna get issues
freetown2: could buy an airprint server and hook it up
jrib, I need something with HTML template support =P
ActionParsnip, heh, did I mention that even cups on Mac OS X has issues?
ActionParsnip, ah well, i guess I shall just have to put on a big :-D
ActionParsnip, thanks
kimberly, wadup
Jordan_U: I am getting a bunch of jargon
Jordan_U: When I use the first command in the instructions I get, "losetup: no permission to look at /dev/loop<N>
"
freetown2: http://www.amazon.com/s?ie=UTF8&page=1&rh=i:aps,k:airprint%20print%20server&tag=duckduckgo-d-20    nice and cheap
ActionParsnip, nevermind, i have in addition to supporting airprinting the need to tracking print jobs and charge them to accounts. I guess I will just have to go MacPro + Papercut and not Ubuntu + Papercut
s/tracking/track/
Quick question, does anyone know if Ubuntu provides free CD Distributions for advertisment and such?
going to give "evolution" a shot
vespakoen: fyi, if you find thunderbird "heavy" wait 'till you see evolution.
vespakoen, how about going KDE and giving Kmail a try?
vespakoen, there is also opera...
everything in KDE looks better
[
freetown2, kk, thanks, maybe I need to archive stuff, or something else is wrong with thunderbird, I dunno..
* vespakoen check out Kmail and opera
checks*
vespakoen, there's nothing wrong with thunderbird. it just tends to consume an inordinate amount of RAM especially if you have thousands of emails in your mailboxes
yeh, it's crazy, and it seems to not even get my mail haha
but maybe that's because I probably went opening them in gmail first haha, nvm
Cong: you can theme stuff to look how you want....
hi there, how to mark all mail as read in ubuntu?
luoluoluo: in which client?
ActionParsnip: i just found out yesterday that you can theme midnight-commander, not that i have ;)
zykotick9: nice :)
ActionParsnip: /var/spool/mail/root
testdisk already found my missing partition. Is there anyway I can tell it not to look for more missing partitions? The rest of the partitions should be left unchanged

hey guys, just insatlled 12.10 but those nouveau drivers are awful and causing tearing but my nvidia won't install, any tips?
RobbyF: sudo apt-get install nvidia-current
im not very good in terminal can you give me the command?
doesn't work, gives me the no unity blank desktop look
Quick question, does anyone know if Ubuntu provides free CD Distributions for advertisment and such?
mibr001: copy the output then go to http://pastie.org and paste the text there, hit paste then when the page changes, copy the new address bar and paste that here
mibr001: its not very much to do with terminal, so being 'good with the terminal' isn't important
sorry i read the wrong comment there :)
TCorwin: you can download Ubuntu for free,or buy CDs at the Ubuntu shop or even on Ebay if your connection is slow
TCorwin, Canonical stopped the free cd's awhile back.
http://pastie.org/5169892
ActionParsnip and wilee-nilee: I'm doing a presentation to promote Ubuntu and help current users with basic issues in 12.04 and 12.10. i was mainly looking for promotional CDs that they would provide.
how can I check in terminal whether I have openGL on?
TCorwin: how would they be different to the ISO you can already download....for free
ActionParsnip: I've been getting X crashes with nvidia current on my Geforce 8800.
mibr001: sudo dpkg --force-all -i /var/cache/apt/archives/libdjconsole-data_0.1.3-1ubuntu1_all.deb
mibr001: find the source of the package and report the bug, there are duplicate files and the package manager doesn't like that
ActionParsnip: I don't have any blank CDs. And i was curious if they provided free CDs for promotional reasons.Apparently not though.
TCorwin, some country's do have local teams to give away cd on promotion events. latest 12.10 doesn't fit on a cd+r anymore.
thanks :) i think everything is gonna work now
ActionParsnip: it seems "seen :u" is working on centos, but cannot work on ubuntu, I am still keep finding the solution
Is there a way to reinstall ubuntu without losing your previous install?
how can I check in terminal whether I have openGL on?
I mean.. there are some things I would love to over write
I am hung in my boot process with a black screen
I'm clueless what to do
OerHeks: Iwas looking for 12.04 LTS on a CD+R. And thats why i asked, cause i am part of a group, just without any CDs.
torontoyes: you could install over the top but you'll probably get issues. Far neater and more likely to get fewer issues with a reinstall then restore data from backup
torontoyes: what video chip do you use?
ActionParsnip: older Pc.. don't remember.
wildc4rd: glxinfo | grep -i direct
ActionParsnip: but everything installs ok
torontoyes: try the boot option: nomodeset
ActionParsnip: I have vmware on there.. and there is some important ant stuff there.
torontoyes: why do you not have a backup?
willdabeast, ^^^^ as wildc4rd
hey all
ActionParsnip: Cause I'm a nut
I will use live cd and back up
I have a drive to throw everything
torontoyes: once you get the data. 1, backup your so called 'important'stuff.  then 2. Backup the stuff REGULARLY
ActionParsnip: Understood
torontoyes: boot the VM to a live CD and you can mount the partition and access the data
ActionParsnip: what do you mean?
I can run the vmware image from live cd?
torontoyes: I can't phrase it much differently, make the VM boot to the ISO and you can mount the partitions on the virtual drive and access the data
ohh
torontoyes: can you see how much easier this would be if you had a backup
ActionParsnip: hmm.. yes
torontoyes, This virtualbox?
wilee-nilee: no, vmware
still same problem...
torontoyes: I see this every day, people without backups when their data is apparently important, there is no excuse and its completely frustrating to have to dig people out, when it's so easily avoidable
wait. I have some strange messages in the prompt
hallelujah ActionParsnip
* ActionParsnip sighs
[sdb] Assuming drive cache: write through
then...
[sdb] No Caching mode page present
what does that mean?
ActionParsnip, I do always chuckle when you phish with the use your backup. ;)
hello
wilee-nilee: people need educating. Trying to avoid people learning the hard way, its getting ridiculous now. Makes life easier for us as we don't have to start advising data recovery which takes time and effort.
any one else experiencing random lockups that need a hard reset to get back from??
ActionParsnip: I don't know why I take backing up for granted
Since were on the topic of Virtual Machines, my ISO for Ubuntu 12.04 and 12.10 will load for about 20 seconds and stop. This would be easier to show if someone had TeamViewer.
torontoyes: you aren't alone
Amy Suggestions on how to fix this?
any*
ActionParsnip, I agree, I try to inform people, one would think that having to spend hours fixing something at best would be enough, let alone the loss of data.
http://pastie.org/5169971 i tried sudo dpkg --force-all -i /var/cache/apt/archives/libdjconsole-data_0.1.3-1ubuntu1_all.deb nothing changed
i do not need libdjconsole
hi
anybody can help me?
Is it only for linux or can it be used on windows.
i use ubuntu
ekim1: can what be used?
sync flash drive with ubuntu 1
I use arch , but why not ask your question anyway :)
mibr001: where are these debs from?
sorry wrong chat....too many going at once!
i change unconsciously my user group, and i need know the standard groups of a user to fix it

Can someone help me with my VM?
wassup!?
Ubuntu 12.04 will not load while i use the ISO in my VM. It starts and runs for 20 seconds the a bunch of text comes up.
totallylost: which ISO are you using?
ubuntu-12.04.1-desktop-i386.iso
totallylost: did you MD5 test the ISO?
ActionParsnip: Thanks a lot!!!
ActionParsnip: im sorry, what is that?
hey guys. quick question. installing ubuntu 12.10 to a USB stick (not a live USB, but a full install). what file system do you recommend? ext4? fat32? what's fastest on a standard USB stick? you can install to fat32, right?
Guest51505: ext2 will cause fewer writes but doesn't have a journal. Ext4 has a journal but will write more
ubottu: thanks for the insformation.
Guest51505: Fat32 isn't suitable for Linux installs
ActionParsnip: and a journal makes it... safer?
i guess i'll forget Fat32 then :)
ActionParsnip: Guest51505:  ext4 can be used without a journal as well.
Guest5it helps with sudden power offs and such
i gotta split anyhoo
peace
Jordan_U: i don't want to rock the boat too much. i'll go with ext4
Guest51505: A good choice :)
Jordan_U: i feel like i'm in the posh department store for file systems
 http://hivelocity.dl.sourceforge.net/project/djplay/libdjconsole/0.1.2/libdjconsole_0.1.2-2_i386.deb open in software center failed during install i then followed the instruction to run sudo apt-get install -f in terminal which did nothing then i tried this sudo dpkg --force-all -i /var/cache/apt/archives/libdjconsole-data_0.1.3-1ubuntu1_all.deb which did nothing throughout this whole time this is my error http://pastie.org/5169971

Hey guys. I am trying to setup a loop device, partition mappings, and mount the rootfs partition. When I enter, "loopdev=$(losetup -s -f file.raw)" and I get, "No permission to look at /dev/loop<N>" as my response...what am I doing wrong?
and youre then at your login screen click the gear on the password box and select ubuntu classic or 2d or whatever the "old" one is called then login this will use different graphics settings and therefore drivers so you can fix you real problem
Anyone???
Actually it is, "losesetup: no permission to look at /dev/loop<N>"
im not very smart but if youre in terminal are you using sudo?
mibr001: yes
Does it ask for a password?
ekaj: yes
What user are you?
ekaj: the main account? I am using sudo so I thought it gave me root permissions
cakeboss: Ubuntu non-LTS releases are glorified betas. I would just use 12.04, or wait until 12.10.1.
Mayhew: I don't understand what that has to do with anything?
Mayhew: I am in the process of converting a .vmdk to a .iso. I am not doing anything with the OS itself.
cakeboss: sorry, meant to say that to exonarthex
Mayhew: ah lol
cakeboss: should i download and install 12.04 then?
exonarthex: see Mayhew
I'm installing ubuntu and I would like to know more about LVM. Essentailly what I want to do is have my /home as a separate partition. Is there an option for that?
exonarthex: Ubuntu non-LTS releases are glorified betas. I would just use 12.04, or wait until 12.10.1.
philllllijw, you might want to read http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lvm
person with graphics problem who were you
philllllijw, you can have a /home partition without LVM, but LVM has other advantages, also has disadvantages though
psusi, what are the disadvantages
philllllijw, Windows doesn't recognize lvm volumes... it's a bit more difficult to setup
and i just fixed my problem yay! i uninstalled djplay my problem was from a completely different application now im fixing and updating libraries and im good
Just upgraded to 12.10, and when I open Gwibber, I just see a blank grey area where my updates used to be. When I click Accounts, nothing comes up (and I don't see Broadcast Accounts in Settings anymore). Used to have Twitter and Identi.ca accounts configured, MIA now...
psusi, I probably don't need all the fanciness LVM provides
philllllijw, the normal gui Ubuntu installer doesn't support it so you have to do some command line management basically
philllllijw, but if you're comfortable on the command line, it has some significant advantages, especially if you tend to use multiple disks and multiple Linux installs
who did i tell id be right back log off click the ubuntu symbol on the password box select ubuntu 2d and log in you should be ok
now that my computer isnt having a seizure good night my friends
psusi, i'm doing a netinstall and i'm fairly comfy with cmdline.
philllllijw, then you might like the features LVM provides... see the wiki entry I wrote for more info... but if you just want a separate /home partition, you can get by without it
psusi, I'll just separate /home for now. Any idea if I can do that easily through the curses interface?
if you find yourself occationally setting up partitions to install Linux distros to for testing, resize partitions or move them between disks, then lvm may be for you... otherwise, might not be worth the bother
philllllijw, you can do that easily with the regular GUI Ubuntu installer
psusi, I dont have any intentions of installing various versions of linux. I do watn teh option to overwrite my installation without losing my /home directory though
philllllijw, you can do that just fine without LVM
philllllijw, just create a /home partition with the regular gui installer and set it to be mounted at /home
psusi, ok, I can't seem to figure it out using the installer
how can I compare my Ubuntu install to a default install? I feel like I'm missing some recommended packages...
philllllijw, you also don't need a separate /home partition to keep your home directory if you reinstall Ubuntu... just choose manual partitioning, configure the /home partition mount point, and DON'T check the format box
philllllijw, you can even reinstall and preserve your home directory without having a separate partition if you want these days
you just have to chose manual partitioning, and do NOT check the format box is all
time for bed, night
argh... i couldn't get clonezilla to boot from a usb drive following their directions
they say that to make a bootable iso to use unetbootin
what package do "Broadcast Accounts" come from?
think i could use brasero instead?
is there any way to prevent my system from coming to a complete crawl every time I open the unity menu/lens??
jetsaredim, what are your system specs?
|Anthony|, I use this usb loader with clonezilla and other ISO's http://www.pendrivelinux.com/multiboot-create-a-multiboot-usb-from-linux/
ah
|Anthony|: AMD 64 X4, 16G DDR3, 256G SSD, Radeon HD 1G RAM
i remember looking at that a WHILE back
|Anthony|, This one makes unetbootin look like the neighbors ugly child.
jetsaredim, i don't think that should be an issue on that hardware
lol wilee-nilee
|Anthony|: neither do I
hi guys
hence my question
understood
notice the generic gender hehe
jetsaredim, what cpu is that?
can someone please help me figure out why vt-x virtualization is not working on virtualbox 4.2.2 i tried egrep 'vmx|svm' /proc/cpuinfo and vt-x is supported (at least i think so)
|Anthony|: er - sorry Athlon II X4 640
oh
how do I configure Gwibber accounts in 12.10?
jetsaredim, it's not BEAST, but it should fit the bill. tbh i ditched gnome and unity in favor of xfce
for the performance issues
|Anthony|: yea - I've been leaning that way too
that's my next step
although i am using compiz and emerald and conky and cairo-dock
lol
yea i like the eye candy too
;)
i wish there was a way to turn on/off the stupid lenses
honestly i like it cause it's fairly easy to configure to my liking
cause i don't need them
some people like it.
i'm not one of those people
lol
* jetsaredim +1
no any meeting in #ubuntu-meeting ??
* xlogik is using a Nexus 7 running Android 4.1.1 (JRO03D)
jetsaredim, I believe you can remove them, but here is a link fro toggling them off.  http://www.webupd8.org/2012/06/lens-toggle-quickly-enable-disable.html
xlogik: 4.1.1 is so last month
xlogik, Gotta root that sucker and get a cooler setup
yeah thanks.... I'm running ROM that I'm fine with
whats  tis?
what is this ?
trying out this client... pressing buttons ;-)
hello ? anyone  please?
what is this
DINESH, If you have a problem and need help ask.
wilee-nilee: apparently lense toggle is only available for 12.04
well what is going on here ?
ok this is ubuntu channel sorry...:
:)
exit
jetsaredim: the code is basically: mkdir /usr/share/unity/lenses.ignore/; mv /usr/share/unity/lenses/lensename/ /usr/share/unity/lenses.ignore/; and the reverse, I think uninstalling/reinstalling is nicer
so I basically accidentally installed nothing off of the netinstall. I want to install unity and wahtever else I need. What apt package do I install to get unity?
philllllijw, sudp apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
sudo*
perfect. I'll let that run for a bit and take a shower :)
ah, its asking me Y/n questions :(
trism: are the lenses all similarly named packages?
philllllijw, You might need to install lightdm as well.
Isn't there a setting somewhere that allows me to have different monitors be able to switch workspaces seperately?
wilee-nilee, what is that
jetsaredim: most lenses are: unity-lens-lensname;
trism: kthx
speaking of unity, if I recently upgraded from xubuntu 9.10, to 12.04 (long afternoon), would unity be installed?
philllllijw, It is the light display manager
ok
philllllijw, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LightDM
oh, gdm replacement
i'll be back in 15min
this is bullshit
decbot, If this is a stock xubuntu no you would have to install it.
testing
hi guys
test succeeded
i have a question regarding screen tearing, I've posted about it here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2078890 if anyone could shed some light on my problem id appreciate it
misterhk, are you comfortable editing your xorg.conf file?
|Anthony|, yup
ok... one sec i'll send a link
misterhk, http://askubuntu.com/questions/198668/3-monitors-ubuntu-12-04-gnome-3-2-nvidia-cards-with-xrandr-or-xinerama/198701#198701

disregard the fact that it is for triple monitors
and look at the first Screen section
ok
notice the Option "TripleBuffer" "True"
ah ic
use that and also the sync to vblank options in nvidia-settings
Hey, I'm having a problemw ith my ubuntu server's ftp.  I'm trying to PUT a file to my home directory, but i keep getting 550 permission denied errors, even though i'm the directory owner.  Anyone know why this might be happening?
hoylemd, when you ls the $HOME dir, is there a + at the end of the permissions?
you mean when i ls+l it?
ls -l rather
sure... ls -l   ls -laX
what ever floats your boat
;)
oh, because when i ls-l it, i just get the directory listing. only file/directory names
so the strict answer to your question is no
sudo getfacl -R /home/insert_username_here
or just getfacl -R blah blah
command not found
i doubt you would have an acl without having set it up though
ah k
got acl.  it listed a lot of stuff
this is your server, or someone else? you own the physical machine?
it's my linode
mmm
for some reason when I restart the system, it just hangs on the command line saying [ 2148.181083] Restarting system.
user::rwk group::r-x other::r-x
rwk
wtf is that
should say rwx
it's what getfacl says
# file: home/hoylemd
# owner: hoylemd
# group: root
user::rwx
group::r-x
other::r-x
yeah, rwx
http://paste.ubuntu.com/1325582/
That's my output
what about using scp. does that give you any issues?
like ftp does
or do you only have ftp access
haven't tried scp
i doubt there is a configuration error on linode's part
my wallpaper is dissapearing, i have to reset it every time i turn my computer on.  I am using xubunu 12.10
fooey... even using clonezillas preferred method of installing on a usb drive (tuxboot) it still fails for me
hi all. can i ask something? in update manager at software sources should or should not be checked the followings: Canonical Partners, Canonical Partners (surce code), Indipendent and Indipendent (source code)?
does alsa base.conf exist here in 12.10 /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf
i am unable to find it
scp isn't working either
machine still says it
s not a bootable disk
not even giving any feedback
hoylemd, have you tried ssh? idk you might want to contact linode to see what their connection and authentication standards are
obviously you have ssh access... lol
i have ssh access, and I'm 99.9% sure it's not a linode problem
anyone used rsyslog setup with tls? if so, any ideas on getting around an error like: error adding our certificate. GnuTLS error -64, message: 'Error while reading file.'
I'm getting dumb error messages from scp now
hoylemd, you have sudo rights, right?
it's saying the file i'm uploading isn't a directory?
of course
so theoretically you could adduser and see if it is just that you borked the file perms
jtrucks: http://www.rsyslog.com/doc/tls_cert_errmsgs.html -> GnuTLS error -64
my user definitely has write access to that directory
jtrucks: but no, i have not done it before
how do I open the damn console in unity?
philllllijw: do you mean a terminal window?
tomreyn: yeah, I'm working off that page, but thanks for helping out
hoylemd, you're able to mkdir and touch and all that
tomreyn, aha, yes! I was searching for 'shell' or 'console' and forgot the word term apparently
THERE WE GO. man pages are too hard to read.  The problem was that my scp syntax was wrong.
but i'm still at square one: ftp is giving me access errors that don't make sense
jtrucks: ok, i'd try to check the file format with openssl, this can be easier to handle even though it's also not great
hoylemd, which ftp client?
philllllijw: sounds like you went thrugh a long term search phase
filezilla and just the ftp tool
same problem either way.
tomreyn: oh, duh, openssl is a good suggestion. thanks :)
but filezilla is able to connect, just can't move or upload files
you can still crawl the directory tree
yes
devish: were you asking whether a file /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf is part of any package in  12.10 ?
devish: if so, you can either use apt-file or the web interface at http://packages.ubuntu.com to find out.
hoylemd, what about downloading a file from the server?
works
akis: which of these repositories you use is very much up to you and your preferences.
i think i have a vsftpd configuation messed up
yeah, looks like i had "write_enable=YES" commented out
now i just ahve to figure out how to restrt vsftpd and i should be good
sudo restart vsftpd
i'm used to openssh
woohoo! fixed it!
hey... i bet that's what was wrong with my wordprss thing!
Any ideas how i could get sdhci_pci into the ubuntu server installer kernel to install it onto usdhc card?
tomreyn: i understand and i know that. by default i can see that they are checked (at other software) Indipendent and Indipendent (source code)? why Canonical Partners, Canonical Partners (source code) aren't checked by default and what do they provide me if i will check them. will they provide me something important?
akis: canonical, the company behind ubuntu, has some contracts with other companies which make proprietary software. the results of these contracts are available in this repository.
it includes one variant of adobe flash player and reader, i think.
is there any location where i could browse the available kernel modules for ubuntu server installer kernel?
tomreyn: thank you for clarification. so do i have to check them, am i loosing something important if i leave them uncheck (default) or should i check them?
akis: i couldn't tell what's important to you
tomreyn: ok. i c. i leave them uncheck as default.
akis: (as an example) here's a list of packages in the partner repository for 12.10 x86_64: http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu/dists/quantal/partner/binary-amd64/
you can also browse the directory structure of the extras ("independent") repositories this way.
tomreyn: i realized that ubuntu center installed a 2nd Canonical Partners (other software) source and it was checked. Can i safely remove this duplicate source and leave the default which was created by the system's installation and leave it unchecked as default?
if there are duplicates usinng the same repository location then you can remove one, yes

tomreyn: removing them using update manager's option is it a total remove or do i have to remove manually anything more?
akis: that's sufficient
tomreyn: ok thanks a lot.
as long as they still show in update manager they remain in /etc/apt/sources.list* but they will be commented out and thus inactive.
hi guys, when im playing a video on Ubuntu 12.04 using totem ..sometimes video won't show ..i have to logout and log back in to make it work. is there a way to fix this ..
the dupicate i deleted already they dont be shown in update manager. are they still in /etc/apt/sources.list* as duplicates?
if it fdoesn't show greyed out in update managed then it's all fone
*gone
Hello All!
tomreyn: no they doesnt show at all. must they have gone. the same procedure must be followed for every othe remove of a software source. isn't it?
installed micro-httpd now what do I do?

akis: if you really want to delete any notion of an apt source, for whatever reason, yes. but normally just disabling them is fine, and allows you to reenable them later.
tomreyn: yes i know that and i am following already this method. it is very convenient.
Since that random spambot tried to scroll off my text...
Attention: Don't play Diablo3 with WINE. I got banned for it.
They don't know you are using wine.
not OT since it affects all linux users
it is ot since it has nothing to do with ubuntu support
until you get people complaining about why D3 doesn't work with Ubuntu
f00dMonsta: it works fine with wine apparently.
It does, you just get banned for it
Now please stick to the topic of Ubuntu support.
fine....
Thank you.

well. another little thing. in a netbook i freshly installed xubuntu 12.04. on that netbook i have 3 users accoutns. from the time i start use the system i cannot fix the keyboard layout. i mean that the system could not remember after every logout or restart the change layout options (alt+shift etc) of my keyboad layout so i had to reenter them or to use the mouse to click on flag to change the keyboard language. after googling for hours i found
the advise to make an autostart application with the following command line /usr/bin/setxkbmap -option grp:switch, grp at_shift_toogle us,gr. this method seemed to be working only for one of the 3 users without issues, but not for the other 2 users, althought when i am logging in those accounts inittially works and after i am opening some application stops workink. also in layout properties still cannot save the option alt-shift or whatever i
want. any advise to solve this isuue?
FloodBot1: sorry but i am typing. not pasting!
version?
okay
Something is malfunctioned with the micro-httpd package. It didn't add the right settings to inetd.conf.
It's functioning now.
I'm having issues with my terminal. after so long, terminal window stops responding. If I ssh to a different server, terminal stops responding after exit (running 12.10)
how am I to put files in /var/www? am I to take ownership?
pstanley, might just be that you have a hanging process on the remote machine, like an X-window.
moondoggy: any idea for when I don't SSH? it happens on terminals that to not connect via SSH
How would i install ubuntu server onto /dev/mmcblk0? Any ideas how i can get the installer to recognise that block device?
Oh.  Hmmm.  No, but probably my first guess isn't right.
I doubt you have two different problems with the same symptoms.
how to enable to mouse wheel scroll in ubuntu
Are you running things in the background from that terminal?
I have no good ideas.  What are you doing when it freezes?
I started google and search via forum, but nothing yet... normally, vi or nano ... today when I noticed, i did open gedit a couple times
#pugbot NEEDS 4 TO START NOW!!!
vi can hang if the file system is being hogged by something.
This is freezing on your local machine?
I dunno.  I should shut up.
ops
yeah. I ahve a machine ruunning 12.04 and 12.10 .. both have issues, lol. You may be right about the running things from terminal. I
pstanley, ...you what?
I'll have to look at when it happens. thanks moondoggy
Wow, both machines?  Sounds like hardware, maybe.  Are they unusual machines, like PowerPC or something?
No, Lenovo with 4GB and Core i5. My desktop running 12.10 16GB with Core i7
That's what I have.  Weird.  You're welcome, if I did anything.  :)
f00dMonsta: it happen only to me once. The first time i used it ..but its ok now ..
I tend to get the odd issues
lcabreza: as in you got unbanned?
f00dMonsta: not banned ..just got a security alert saying ..login failed several times..
I using Ubuntu 12.04 Server, & one Problem that I seem to be running into is that, When it boots up and goes to Grub, then Instead of quickly selecting a Boot selection and booting It just sits there to where if you was a normal desktop that wouldnt be a problem but since its a file server with just Power & Ethernet Cable then its kinda a hassle when it sometimes doesnt select and boot a Selection by itself. Has anyone experienced t
hat Problem at all?
lcabreza: I got an email saying I was banned for being "involved in actions deemed inappropriate for Diablo III"
To where I need to have a keyboard to press Enter, After say acouple seconds from power up
f00dMonsta: hmm...it might be a spam or something ..
no cos I went to the blizzard site, logged in and it was banned
f00dMonsta: try to check your account in Blizzard website..
same when I try to log into the game
f00dMonsta: do not rely on emails ...lot of people ..will always try to get accounts..
lcabreza: I know, I can't even post on blizzard boards cos I'm banned
f00dMonsta: try contacting blizzard support ...as long as you have the key ..
lcabreza: and yea I receive like 10 fake blizzard emails a day
f00dMonsta: good for you ..only have 10 ..i have like ..30 to 50 ..
especially when they know that you are already on a higher levels.
lcabreza: lol. I'm waiting for them to reply

lcabreza: and very bad gear

I see no point in criticizing Ubuntu.
It's like the gretest Operating System ever.

I'm at work right now so I can't operate with anyone regarding troubleshooting.  However, I have recently installed 12.10, but I cannot seem to get my Nexus 7 to connect via MTP device.  Does anyone know anything about this?  I found an article regarding 12.04 but the solution doesn't work for 12.10.
roracle, I use gMTP
runs rather clunky but works
and it works like a charm?
oh
lol
what do you mean clunky?  that has various implications haha
roracle, Takes about 30 seconds to fire up but works,
oh that's cool.  thanks wilee-nilee
no problem
i have to say, I HATED unity for a long time, but i find the new version of Ubuntu is pretty sweet.  i think Unity needs to include google searches along with system wide searches (can't search for apps by default, you MUST click the "app" icon which is cumbersome)
it also needs an option to move Unity to the bottom of the screen...makes it seem less intrusive
I"m just hoping hardware vendors will supporting linux more
uhhhh I used xubuntu now debian + xfce, never been a unity fan

like printing... I can't use half the stuff my printer offers with linux
mmgc84: you say this as if it was 1998 all over again.  ;)
granted that half is stuff I rarely use, but still!
regarding the hardware support
hw support suck$
sorry, i meand food monsta
i suck at this typing stuff apparently
well it's alot better now, I know
how do you guys feel about Valve porting some Steam games over?
but still lacking polish on the drivers and software
* roracle wants native Skyrim
I'd love it
but I'm stuck with Windows for now
i'm stuck with Ubuntu for now haha.  My Windows ALWAYS crashes.  I can't push it at all without it tipping over
and all i do is game on Windows, and now I'm having to back off games for the sake of stability
windows is stable enough for me
i think i need a solid state hard drive...my problems with windows is my constant downloading/moving/deleting files and eventually my hard drive just craps out on me
BT would kill SSD pretty fast
:O
BT?
hello !
:)
hola
got an issue here in LibreCalc. I tried to load an .xslx file that has loads of comments
but what do you mean BT?
bit torrent?
bittorrent? :o
the comments are not hidden, i have to manually hide them in order to see my cells
how would that kill a SSD?
any workarounds ?
mmm I guess I didn't think that through properly... BT wouldn't kill SSD lol
sorry m3pow i don't know anything about that.  i prefer using Libre for everything from the get-go.  that way i don't run into those problems going from one comp to another
thanks roracle
I was thinking of the constant index searching would kill a HDD, I got it the wrong way around
or...can i copy paste ONLY the info from the cell and exclude the comment?
Why not try that then? :P
yes but how to exclude the comment
Hey i need please help about Upgrade from 10.04 LTS to 11.10  LTS
the cell gets copied, usually WITH the comm
where i can find guide about this?
that would be 12.04 and don't upgrade, backup and install, ASHER1
asher: copy all your home files and do a fresh install. it's usually easier to reconfigure things than to back track trying to find what broke.  ;)  they called me the Format King back in the day lol
I quit playing f00dMonsta, and YES roracle win do SUCKS big time!
Ubuntu Desktop 12.04 LTS is configured to bring up the HUD if you press "Alt L" <- not a valid key combo, needs to be "Alt+L" ...
so on every copy of 12.04 going out ... pressing Alt-LEFT in firefox (in less than 1 second) brings up the HUD *AND* sends the browser "Back"
not sure why "Alt L" == "Alt+Left" ... yet "Alt+L" does nothing ;)
what about in 12.04.1?
you can plainly see in the Settings dialog that its missing the "+"
Cong: are you saying this has been fix?
ed
no
roracle, Just your window get ugly ... right?
how do I get my build #?
my windows?  it crashes and burnnnnnns!  i had to install Ubuntu to get my sanity back
and i'm loving 12.10 by the way, did i mention that?
I was just going to Ubuntu->Help->About but all it says is "12.04 LTS"
roracle, My system freezes , after idle for serveral hours ... Installed a kernel... Just testing if it does again
food1 kind of sounds like a hardware problem. Does memtest report any errors?
extropy, i did not do memtest yet. I also think it maybe hardware or kernel issue ... But i really need to reboot if it happened once
I tried Haiku the other day and my computer glitched like Windows does. I think it's my computer overheating.
back up Cong!
random crashes in my experiences are almost always a memory error ... boot your computer with the LiveCD (might need server now, can't remember) and run memtest ... if your memory has an error it'll tell you, just let one cycle pass (takes a while)
for me random crashes are never memory related !
Cong if your computer overheats I believe the hardware will fail to boot at all, might not be the case for all hardware
memory fail, _replace_
mmgc84: exactly
-_-_'
if you have 2 boards try swapping x)
ubuntu newbie talk sorry x)
I've been using Ubuntu 10.04 for 2 months and I've had no problems with glitches or crashes.
extropy, Server LveCD?
I think so, yeah
I use debian testing and no crashes
When I try to download the deb package for Flash through firefox it asks me if I want to open it with aptURL.  I say yes and then it tells me that it cannot find channel precise-partner.  Any ideas?
I know it has memtest but I think they might have pulled it from Desktop
Ascavasaion, If you want flash install the restricted-extras for your desktop, it also has some extra media codecs and ms fonts.
Every time I build a new machine now I run memtest before I do anything else now ... memory errors are common enough to want to save myself the trouble of having something go wrong later.
when using xubuntu 810 ... 12.10 most of the time  very stable, every fuckup it mostly my fault
wilee-nilee: I have done that and have flash installed.  But sites I go to all tell me that my flash is outdated.
Ascavasaion, This with chrome
extropy, pm please?
its just stupid Ascavasaion !
seems like the only time I ever have problems they're fix by the next release and never actually my fault
wildc4rd: Chromium and Firefox.
oops
wilee-nilee: : Chromium and Firefox.
case in point "Alt L" bringing up the HUD when it should be "Alt+L" can anyone tell me if that's still a problem in 12.10?
Ascavasaion, Are you using a script block like noscript?
mmgc84: I have to agree.
wilee-nilee: If I am I am unaware that I am.
and why does "Alt L" in the config register as "Alt+Left" in the first place?
maybe Alt L(eft)
and what does the HUD even do? only just noticed that it seems to be some kind of macro interface or something.
the HUD is the new way to execute programs. if you remember the name you shouldn't be looking around for it in a menu
ahhhhhhh the HUD, I remember now x)
how is the HUD different from the menu you get when you press the Windows key?
I think the hud should come up when you press the "~" key ala IDSoftware Tech engine

anyone know how to set winbind or samba to recognize capitalized names in a domain environment?
honestly, I have a hard enough time not getting hacked to bits on IRC when I'm not trying to be jackass ... why would someone try to flood?
hi,  how to see which program is using the network ?
mmgc84 what's the HUD all about?
In chrome I cannot access Shockwave flash either.  It pops up a line at the top of the browser window saying that it "Could Not load Shockwave Flash".
hi,  how to see which program is using the network ?
himanshu_linux: I am not sure... but I do know that Firestarter shows what applications are using what ports and IPs.
ok

good mornin mmgc84
wilee-nilee: Okay, will do now... see you ina few minutes.
Archaical, why do you need capitalized?
cool
I'd like users who connect to be reffered to using their proper names from the primary domain controller.  Like PatientX not being referred to as patientx on the ubuntu box.
* Cong help
* Cong help
uhhhh I havent tried that in a lot of time
google Archaical
did brother, first thing i did and hit it hard for 6 hours, if you search winbind capitalize you will find every post i've made and they are the only ones.
reason being is if you use template homedir = /path/share/%U ubuntu sets that username wildcard to the lowercase version of the name that is connecting.
because that is how the username is handed to samba via winbind.
so if winbind is downgrading the names is it because its set that way in adduser.conf?  i say no because i've already set the uppercase names in adduser.conf
* Cong is playing with the irc commands
* Archaical thinks cong needs to be slapped around with a wet trout.
x)
Archaical, try the debian administrator handbook x)
* Cong thinks Archaical needs to come back when he's well educated in the art of wet trout slapping.
jajajaja
lol
Cong,  is hillarious x)
wilee-nilee: It never worked, the same problem.  Tried it in firefox and Chrome
Ascavasaion, Hmm, not sure then sorry.
wilee-nilee: :(  Darn.  thanks for trying though.
Archaical, goto https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Whacking_with_a_Wet_Trout
its a shame i am probably one of the few here that has been around long enough to know the origins of the wet trout statement and you kids are sadly lacking in the experience drawn from such.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WsfiD78Cy0s the original fish slapping
omg ... this thing is *so* much easier to use after changing the HUD hotkey to Alt-L o_.'
irssi and Firefox both relying on Alt-Left for navigation made it a constant problem
how are computer random freezes diagnosed?
and troubleshooted
wilee-nilee: I would check that youtube clip, but I cannot without Flash :(
 my computer freezes on mint out of the blue, i can still move the mouse but the OS doesnt respond anymore, a hardreset should be done, how cna i troubleshoot that?
ciphered, did it start happening after you installed something?
penguinman: not really
Im running Ubuntu 12.04 Server Which I'm having a problem with the Machine not auto loading the OS in grub, Which wouldn t be a problem but the server I have running only has a power cord & Ethernet cable so its kinda a hassle when it does it, Has anyone experienced this?
when i work, sometimes the computer freezes, the music keeps playing the mouse moving but no response
i have to hardreset it
Ascavasaion, works here.
i cant switch to terminal windows from gui control alt f1
wilee-nilee: Not for me... No Flash remember :)
ciphered, check /var/log/xorg.log maybe. had that problem with the proprietary fglrx drivers on my old laptop.
fglxr?
proprietary ati drivers
i have an nvidia
didnt install its drivers yet
try installing them then and see if that helps
geforce cuda
BlackWeb: edit /etc/default/grub and set GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT=1 and make sure its uncommented.
if that doesnt work i have one more thing you can do which will force it to work.
how can i probe for my graphica card to know its model
did anyone else's trackpad stop working after updating to 12.10?
ciphered: lspci | grep -i vga
valleycat: it might have something to do with the cat in your name and a mouse reference.  (insert mouse / cat joke here)
heh
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 2nd Generation Core Processor Family Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 09)
   
it doesnt show the nvidia
otherwise, sorry man dont have any good ideas on why that happened
this is the built in intel
valleycat who's the hardware vendor?
must have scared the mouse driver away
flood?
^_^
apple?
:s
huh, the only apples I've worked with were PPC (because Apple no longer supports them ;)
BlackWeb: would you mind terribly telling me if my solution worked for you?
lol
did you upgrade to 12.10 or do a fresh install?
As usual, Linux fails the bar and does not allow me to view Flash...  Sigh.
Archaical I'll give that a try, Which i was looking into commenting out the function recordfail
more like "Adobe fails" xD
upgrade
yea but you dont really want to change the 00_header file because it will be changed on the next update of grub.
Adobe doesn't support PowerPC either ... it's quite annoying
You might try doing a fresh install. Seems like there's a lot of room for things to break with that upgrade process. I never do it because it takes hours >.<
someone with more intimate knowledge might be able to fix the problem though
:/
Gah, my touchpad just stopped working randomly.
i as well have never had good results with an "upgrade"
greylurk1 ... meey valleycat ;)
lol
meet he meant.
valleycat?
I wonder if my Vaio's trackpack will stop working when I install these updates.
DO IT!
fresh installs are annoying with my computer
become a member of the club!
meh ... Thunderbird, don't think it'll break anything
because sometimes rEFIt decides to stop working
since we all have a good repore, anyone know how to set winbindd to accept and pass names from network to samba as they are transmitted without downgrading them to all lowercase?
It's weird.  I can see that xinput is reporting it's disabled, but xinput enable doesn't actually do anything.
Archaical I dont see the GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT=1 Entry at all in my /boot/grub/grub.cfg file?
Are some Ubuntu sub-sites down? E.g., the computer certification info - http://www.ubuntu.com/certification
the other day Ubuntu turned off my Wireless adapter in the *BIOS* ... had to discover some obscure application called "RFKILL" to get it back >.<
BlackWeb: "edit /etc/default/grub and set GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT=1 "   you see the difference?
hey guys, I want to run multiple instances of my worker class. So I am trying to do http://www.bpaste.net/raw/sPr0GRCVX6DjDcEOvq4z/ . I want to send a number/id to my worker and then identify it with that number for later purpose. Basically I want to run some number of workers and identify them with an id by using a single worker.py file. How Do I do that? please help
Alrigth hold on I was checking /boot/grub/grub.cfg
how do you kill the mouse in X? wasn't it like "killall gpm" or something? *nostalgia*
BlackWeb: not there, /etc/default/grub is the file to change
BlackWeb: make sure when you are done editing that file you run update-grub and update-grub2 when you are done.
i get home, turn my machine on and we have a 'waiting for network' message on the purple ubuntu screen, it's a problem with the machine and not my network. I've traced it back to a few lines in /etc/network/interfaces that configure my infiniband card for ip networking
i just dont know what to do, when i have them uncommented the machine doesn't boot with networing
Alright I'm doing it now, just curious what does that that line actually do? Does it  just make sure that if theres no selection it'll load OS? I'm rebooting server now, cause ya the thing was it sometimes would do that and it was a hassle to wonder if it came up without a Monitor/Keyboard
would you mind pasting a copy of your interfaces file?
did ryan and nathan join forces? I should have foreseen this ...
who
So I will never be able to see Youtube again, no use any site that uses Flash.  Unless I move to Windows.
you don't live in the Seattle area do you?
no
hi, my system get duplicate pv
hi, how do i check the people who have just accessed my machine say with ssh? help
i'm in western australia
how can i delete one?
Ascavasaion: blame Adobe
different WA ;)
hah
BlackWeb: that file setting forces a hidden timeout, if you set it to 1 its one second, if you set it to 5 its 5 seconds. and it runs unseen forcing the OS to load without notifying the system
always blame Adobe ... always
the_dark_knight: sudo grep sshd /var/log/auth.log
llutz: :(  Blaming does not help me though.
I don't know who's worse: Adobe or Oracle ...
Oracle
hands down
Oracle is the devil.
Alright Cool, Very Much appreciated :)
HA Take that flooboot!
bot even.
BlackWeb: np.
the_dark_knight, last
so, i'm wrong.  xinput enable on the trackpad doesn't do nothing.  It logs "Synaptics Touchpad: touchpad found" to the Xorg.0.log
But it lies.
is it killall gpm? something like that ... resets the mouse
gpm isn't running.
Anyone know how to force samba and winbind to recognize names capitalized if they are capitalized : ex: Archaical not archaical   and ArchaiCAL not archaical?
this is my /etc/network/interfaces http://pastebin.com/kztAYd3G
_cronus_: llutz_ both /var/log/auth.log and last are not helping. I want the name of that machine or say the user who ssh my machine . he may be authorised or not.
my trackpad gets overheated and weird depending on where I am, what the weathers like, etc ... makes me want to throw this netbook through a window
every time i remove the lines relating to ib1 the machine boots with no network issues
what may be going wrong?
you could try a little pocket mouse?
_cronus_: sorry last will do fine. didn't look at the first line
Yeah, I've got an external mouse, but it's a pain to carry around another piece of hardware, and such.
_cronus_: llutz_, but how do I see what that user is doing. suppose last is showing "still logged in" how do I know what he is doing?
the_dark_knight: "w"
ryannathans: this might be kind of a stretch but maybe ubuntu is doing something to your iptables rules?
extropy: i don't think so. the two commands that get executed regarding the 'find' return nothing at the moment

my ib0 or ib1 isn't listed on ifconfig -a
_cronus_: can't grep it here . ps axjf | grep user1
it must be the way your interfaces file is configured
i've just commented out the offending lines and seeing if it'll work after a reboot
the_dark_knight: "ps xjf -u <uid>"   uid = the users uid
because yeah if the interfaces aren't showing up in ifconfig ...
same thing was happening with my wireless after I "disabled wireless" ... when I went back to "enable wireless" the option wasn't even there. Ubuntu had set up some kind of Soft-block ... disabled the wifi in the BIOS of all places
so yeah, Ubuntu might have done something you don't want somewhere along the line and since it isn't wifi related I'm not sure how to help
literally paying a crispy 5 dollar bill to the person who successfully answers my question with an answer the produces the results i need.  The question, how do you force winbind and samba to recognize uppcase names and report them to the system uppercase.  for more detailed information see my post at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2078563
and payment is made via paypal.
is these a DNS thing?
llutz_: where do I get his uid. can't get it from last and w
the_dark_knight: id username
isn't ActiveDirectory *hugely* dependent on DNS?
the_dark_knight, yes, that shows uid, try auxf
*headbutts computer*
i give up on ipoverib
no, the samba box is in a domain enviroment, users are connecting with Capitalized names like Tester  and   FranklinW  and the ubuntu system sees them as tester and franklinw  and thus makes a home folder which is lowercased for those users,  now, when the users roaming profile is copied to the samba server share, its copied with the capital letters and thus the home folder isnt the same as
the roaming profile directory.
I see, that would be annoying
and you changed the configuration for SMB, right?
is there a command you need to run to flush Samba's old confige and restart with the new one?
like sudo service samba restart ... or something?
Yes, to include template homedir = /path/%U  which for user Tester would be /path/tester  and when a roaming profile is made, its made like so, /path/Tester   and for ubuntu  /path/tester is not same as /path/Tester
did the flush already
maybe the problem isn't Samba ... what creates the new user's home directory for Samba does it just run "adduser" or something?
a little more digging determines that when a user attempts to connect in a domain enviroment, winbind a sub-service of samba is retrieving the user names from the PDC and making a fake passwd file so that the users name is stored locally.  when it does this it makes that lowercase name in this fake passwd instead of the uppercase name.  and then samba from there takes that name.
already configured /etc/adduser.conf to incorporate capitalized names
does adduser's config need to be reloads (I wouldn't know)
*reloaded
i'm fairly certain right now its a setting with winbindd or nss_info but i've LITERALLY read the entire manual for both (and i swear to go i will NEVER doubt how verbose a computer programmer can be when writing a manual) and i've gotten no where.
llutz_: _cronus_ , but where do I get the user name? user1 from last and w doesn't work when I do "ps xjf -u user1"
i've reloaded the adduser.conf as well =D
Hi, I'm looking to buy a Inkjet printer that works well on Ubuntu and has decent quality and low cost inks. The last printer I had was Lexmark Z13 12 years ago
the_dark_knight: "ps xf -u user1
didn't even know that was a think, lol
Can anyone suggest one please
Is Microsoft involved with Samba development at all?
I could see them breaking it on purpose just to get people to buy Windows 8 ;)
but enough of my conspiracy theories ...
lol
so have you tested adduser to see that it adding usernames with caps?
llutz_: I can see user1 in "last" and "w" but not in ps tree. does this mean he is logged out? btw your command with other logged in users works fine. thanks
I will test that to confirm right now, good point.
the_dark_knight: "last user1" shows you if the user still is logged in or not.
I have two volume group with the same name
and that business with temporary passwd files ... ew ... wonder if you wouldn't have to modify some source to get that working again
how can I delete one of them?
llutz_: yes. good. thanks
system is reboot to force all configs and dependencies to reload.
afk taking a dump
can i resize / when /home/username/.private is encrypted (and part of the / partition) or are there checksums for the partition size?
2. question: why can ubuntu use encrypted swap even when no user is logged in. is the key stored on /?if so, where
iceroot, id guess swap is only used for one uptime keys for that could be dynamically generated at boot time and remain in RAM? correct me if im wrong...
syntroPi: thats the question, i am not exactly sure how it works but swap is encrypted after a suspend too, so because of that i would say its a normal key on /
syntroPi iceroot  wouldn't that make encrypted swap senseless?
llutz: yes
llutz: but how does it work if not that way
iceroot: idk unfortunately
hmm idk
hey guys, dpkg lock was held, so I had to kill the dpkg instances... it turns out there was an installation going somewhere and now it is interrupted
whiptail is now consuming 100% cpu etc
how am I supposed to clean this mess up
(mind you this all happens when I have to do something on this box urgently)
oke doke.  Yes adduser allows creation of uppercase names, however getent passwd still shows all lowercase names
for those of you just joining in, there is a 5 dollar bounty on the successfull answer leading to desired results as indicated in http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2078563
still at it aye?
$5 ? wow!
i WILL solve this.
you sound like me when I was trying to get iptables to do SPI
hey man if you can't answer it no need to be-little a 5 dollar bill, someone else will enjoy it that much more =D
you'll get there ... might take a damn year ... but you'll get it
i have about 12 hours left.
iceroot, it seems it works as you described
so adduser is creating working usernames with caps?
Aye
lowercase is the thing. Must be a bug.
_cronus_: sounds very unsecure in my opinion
iceroot, not really, since the keys are not stored on disk.
iceroot, root can always read memory.
_cronus_: but how does a suspend work in that case?
thing is, since this is a domain environmnet, when a user attempts to connect to the samba shares, samba uses winbind to grab the usernames list from the primary domain controller and pulls them down to a temporary passwd file which is stored on the system and updated regularly.  this file is viewable in a sense via typing getent passwd which will then return a list of all users this samba
shared system recognizes as valid.  all the usernames are lowercase even though the usernames on the primary domain controller are capitalized.
sounds like maybe winbind is misconfigured
since they are shown lowercase in that file when a users homedirectory is mapped, its mapped with lowercase, however Windows makes the roaming profile directory Uppercased in accordance with the actual usernames and therefore the two dont mix.
iceroot, suspend does not stop the memory but hybernate does not work properly
iceroot: it doesn't without tweaking as an article on help.ubuntu.com shows
thats what i said.
but i've read the man page regarding winbind back to front.
maybe it's a bug?
it better not be.
the other thing that always gets me: typos, also order of operations (where applicable)
_cronus_: but how can the system reach the memory again, when the system is suspended?
none here?
hi
llutz: you have a link?
iceroot: bit.ly/M3h3Hn
Hi.
linux_noob: many are here
Hello, I'm having troubles installing Ubuntu on my older laptop. It's giving me a message "Secure boot not enabled."
llutz: thx
lol Rootbrian: many are here, few will answer =D
iceroot, that's hardware. maybe check with #hardware
_cronus_: thats not a hardware feature, and its ##hardware :)
Is local IP address assignment random or sequential?
linux_noob there should be an option to disable the detection of secure boot by pressing F6 when at the boot launcher.
Like, 192.168.1.23
sequential if you are asking what i think you are asking.
however the IP address handling system/device will sometimes reserve IP's for systems that are offline based on lease times etc.
linux_noob: if that works, what I mentioned previously.
@Rootbrain all I get is the bios screen, then the message, no boot launcher
brian*
linuxmint
linux_noob: boot from the CD or liveusb, whichever you made, but ensure the boot order in the BIOS is set to hard disk being last.
iceroot, power states are set by hardware. software uses acpi to switch power states. i wasn't trying to set off the conversation by mentioning hardware, i just think that it has more to do with the hardware field.
Rootbrian: Already done. Still does not seem to work for me.
linux_noob are you booting from CD or liveUSB?
_cronus_: yes, maybe i have to read what "wake up from suspend" is doing
Rootbrian: liveUSB
linux_noob: what is the boot order? Also, ensure the bios can even boot from a usb device.
_cronus_: the interesting part is how does the hardware knows what to restore and how the system is then reading the encrypted swap. maybe its very easy and everything is stored in ram including the swap-key
Rootbrian: I've had it work in the past, one second though, it's possible I've made a error when putting Ubuntu on to the USB.
linux_noob: use unetbootin. That usually works best. Format the usb drive first.
once done, boot using the 'install ubuntu' option to skip the desktop.
Rootbrian: Thanks, have tried unetbootin a few times. I think it's an issue with administrator priviledges on the computer I'm using to make the USB. Always have problems when creating a USB on Windows.
 /msg nickserv identify buzibuz
_cronus_: my mistake was that i thought the ram is also encrypted but its only swap
Rootbrian: Will let you know if it works this time around.
bitbuzzer: You could type /ns id buzibuz
Aerosonic: thanks
which brings up another question :)
linux_noob: login as administrator if you're having issues, or run as administrator.
 /tmp is using tmpfs and if i am correct, tmpfs is only stored in ram and not the hd?
hi can I assign an id to a command. Say when I do "python sample.py" (and this execution will run something). I want to assign some id to this execution. can I do it with setsid.
the_dark_knight: you want to execute the script as another user?
iceroot, i believe, and this is just my personal opinion on this, that encryption is a measure mostly useful against offline forensics
iceroot: no the current user. but say I want to remember the execution. suppose sample.py will have some content that will go on running. so I will check if it is running with that id later. something like that.
the_dark_knight: is the process pid sufficient for your purposes?
_cronus_: i think so too. i am fine when my home is encrpyted because there are important data, the rest is unimportant for this system
the_dark_knight: so you want to start the program and want a id for that task. thats the PID
the_dark_knight: there was a command to start a program and get its PID but of course i cant remeber that command
iceroot: safest way to secure a system when not in use (when sleeping) is to disable the network device.
kushal_kumaran: yes. but it will change for every other execution , i guess. I want to do it like "python sample.py --id 10"
iceroot: refer my comment to kushal_kumaran .
Rootbrian: you can steal laptops and for that case i need protection
Iceroot: encryption and thief proof, yes.
iceroot: I was under the impression it was internet related until it was a laptop.
*About a laptop
Rootbrian: no, i have virtual machines on this laptop and these are very important because they are workstations for the customer
the_dark_knight: is the code in sample.py in your control, or are you running someone else's application.  If it is yours, have it create a file /tmp/<id>.lock and take a lock on it.  Then you can check if the process is running using the flock command.
i think my firefox profile might've gotten a little corrupt. how can i export and import it back again (i do not mean copy ~/.mozilla, i mean import/export)?
the_dark_knight: techniques used in writing typical unix daemons might be helpful: http://pypi.python.org/pypi/daemonize
kushal_kumaran: but then again the id here PID will be unique but not fixed. say I want to hardcode 5 id's with corresponding five executions. something like that.
micjan20: If you mean saved passwords, there is an addon to do so. There is an option within firefox to restart with addons disabled in the Help menu.
kushal_kumaran: lemme check your link.
iceroot: now I understand the situation. I would be that cautious if it was a setup like that
Rootbrian: and encrpyted home is working fine without any issues, so its a very good way i think
kushal_kumaran: so with daemonize I can assign the pid manually right?
iceroot: I never encrypt mine due to not much valuable info being in it. Mostly videos and utilities I found from old hard drives that had windows on them. :)
kushal_kumaran: so what will the test.pid file have?
hey
if apt cant find i want to install and recommends something, how can I easily grab the suggestion (and no to type in) ?
*not to
the_dark_knight: pid cannot be changed.  If you want your program to behave differently according to given argument, then you just write your code that way.  Don't see how the OS could provide any special support for that.
hi, would any1 be as nice to subscribe this petition? http://www.change.org/petitions/arenanet-inc-consider-development-alongside-the-wine-project-3  would be nice if there is a linux-compatible gw2-client. please don't see this as an advertisement, i just try to get 2-3 more people to sign it, at least because they want to support the growth of gaming-software on linux :)
kushal_kumaran: do you know anything about supervisord of python
?
greenit: maybe also share it on identica and other social networks, other IRC's?
subdesign: highlight it, right click > copy, shift-insert to paste it.
Rootbrian: yeah, i'll do :)
Rootbrian, ok thx :)
so no automated command built in. np.
the_dark_knight: why not write the pid to file?
the_dark_knight: no, but I'm sure the fine folk over on the mailing list at http://lists.supervisord.org/mailman/listinfo/supervisor-users do
subdesign: can also right click > paste.

i want to purchase the IBM laptop in this configuration order Cheap cost + Low configuration + light weight. which model number of IBM is good for me ?
dm tui bay
noi cai cc gi
Loay: I suggest comparing all of them. If speed is what you desire, go for the fastest. Storage and ram can always be upgraded. Check ebay for supplies of aftermarket batteries, if none, don't buy it.
ok thanks for suggestion. can you please suggest more on this configuration.
Loay: Include amazon and other shopping websites. Ebay isn't the only one. It's just my primary choice, as to why I suggested it.
thank you dear
the_dark_knight: there are plenty of ways to do that. one would be to have each process create a pid file in a directory, and then write a script to collect process information for each pid file in the directory.
the_dark_knight: if that is all you want, then have your program print out its pid as the first thing it does, and then use that pid for monitoring.
Loay: for a comfortable and speedy system, 2.4 GHz or faster CPU, (dual core or higher, or just dual core) 2GB-4GB of RAM. Hard disk, easily obtained at most computer stores. 80GB is good enough for the conscious user.
I have lost the pass phrase of my secrete key. I have revokation key and public key. How to revoke the key so that I can generate the new one. I haven't uploaded my keys to the public key server
ok , and my main concern is that Light weight and Low configuration.
Loay: there isn't much you can customize on a laptop unless it was being made at the factory for you, before and during production.
because i have already laptop for good configuration but that is above 3 kg
kushal_kumaran: overclucker , yes that seems a good way.
Loay, Why IBM?
Loay: the lighter you go, the likely fact is, the lower the specs will be.
Loay: lenovo is now ibm since they took over.
[deXter]: many suggest IBM laptop and i am part of the IBM partner company.
the_dark_knight, you may want to take a look at start-stop-daemon man page
Rootbrian: ok
syntroPi: lemme check
could you please give a good web link for that
Rootbrian: Back after trying again. Same error immediately after boot. "Secure boot not enabled"
?
Loay, I would suggest Dell, never had any issues with Linux on it, everything works out of the box - suspend, hibernate, Fn keys, brightness keys, wifi everything
syntroPi: hey is it like upstart. cos I am already using upstart. but Is there any way to give a fixed id to a service
ok , i am also linux admin.
hahahaha
admins.
please give me the dell laptops website link....
[deXter]: do you have any laptop linkx for dell?
the_dark_knight, it can be used to "daemonize" console programs such as creating pidfile and such
linux_noob: I'm not sure what else that can be done. Can I suggest burning a live CD on a CD-R/RW disc and booting from it and trying again?
its not sysV or upstart its a wrapper
Loay, just go to dell.com and take your pick
Loay: http://www.dell.com/
ok
Rootbrian: Unfortunately, no optical drive on this laptop. Only option is USB.
Loay, if you want a good value for money, look for machines that have AMD Fusion APUs like the AMD E-450
ok
AMD is best processor?
linux_noob: connect a usb cd drive maybe?
Loay, if you're on a limited budget, yes.
Rootbrian: Thanks anyways for the help, I'll look in to it further. From what I have found so far it's a new feature included in Ubuntu 12.10
the_dark_knight, in the past it was often used to integrate console programs as services in sysV init scripts easily
Rootbrian: Don't own one.
[deXter]: ok got it
linux_noob: I suggest now using 12.04.1 LTS.
the_dark_knight, there is no way you can ask the kernel fro a specific pid. there is no such option in the kernel
syntroPi: but can I assign my own pids?
_cronus_: i get it. I 'll refrase my question with updated requirements wait.
when you ssh into a computer you get information about the system state
how cna you get that again withuot reconnecting
ryannathans if it's cached, yes. I haven't used ssh before.
the_dark_knight, nope afaik the kernel does that, but you can let it create a pid file in /var/run for the child process with it
_cronus_: syntroPi , kushal_kumaran , here is my sample.conf for upstart http://www.bpaste.net/raw/kpGVFaV8o3wIhao8lH63/, and here is sample.sh http://www.bpaste.net/raw/watm7BM9rEzkX4amlHcF/ . Now I want to execute Worker.py in sample.sh some number of times and keep them up and running with sample.conf of upstart. Now It is ok with only one "python Worker.py" line from sample.sh but how do I do it with multiple executions.
hi, I run 12.04 live (from xp parition booted with grub4dos) i use the persistent flag and setup casper-rw ext2 partition that is quite small. Q: How do I merge the ext2 casper-rw in the squash to free up space and maybe move it to another system?
the_dark_knight, you have to for them to background and keep track of the pid's
the_dark_knight: see the upstart cookbook at http://upstart.ubuntu.com/cookbook/ for jobs with multiple running instances
the_dark_knight, maybe you can use the "&" operator to fork it to background and then use LASTPID=$(echo $!) for tracking pids
krobelus: Mount the windows xp partition, move the data in the /home/ folder to a folder, then remove the filesystem?
the_dark_knight: this section, specifically, should help: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/cookbook/#instance
Rootbrian, can I do that from inside the same live ubuntu whos squashfs im trying to modify?
krobelus: I recommend a liveCD.
i am getting error while updating
http://paste.ubuntu.com/1325956/
kushal_kumaran: looking into it. but see http://pypi.python.org/pypi/supervisor , I was just reading it. Can I do it from inside the python script or say the shell script - Worker.py / sample.sh . I just want one line into sample.conf
hey  yesterday i upgrated to 11.10 . how can i back to 11.04 :)
XxX-newbie: You can't

You're better off doing a fresh install
juniour: I'm using a client that can't view links or click them, if it's a dependencey issue, I recommend running synaptic and fixing it from there. File > fix broken packages
ohhh

Juniour: jmirc to be exact.
Rootbrian i am also using client
juniour: logged in from my blackberry.
k
juniour: sudo rm /var/lib/apt/lists/* -vf && sudo apt-get update
This  will delete the older entries and download the latest ones after which the error should no longer be there.
kushal_kumaran: ok now I have read the #instnce part. so I suppose I will give BAR=1,2,3,4 . So will it be able to always up and run 1,2,3,4 instances?
Rootbrian can't open synaptic getting error
juniour: gksu synaptic
yep
juniour: someone provided some info to use.
thanks to blazemore
Rootbrian i think i go to recover mode and try to install or remove broken package
anyone know how to control an iphone 4 with your computer without jailbreaking it or messing with the phone? I got a free iphone 4 with a broken screen that made it stuck at the homescreen and I want to use programs to be able to use it
juniour: yes, that is your best way to do so, if it doesn't work, what blazemore recommended.
the_dark_knight: when you start a job you will do this: start sample BAR=1, then run start sample BAR=2, etc.  this will make upstart start multiple instances of the "sample" job like these: sample (1), sample (2), etc.
the_dark_knight, http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8279848/supervisord-adding-multiple-processes-for-php-and-gearman
slim_ bring it to a repair shop to replace the screen. It will have to be jailbroken and it's apparently nearly useless without it.
slim_: useless without the touch screen
kushal_kumaran: so in my sample.conf should I write " exec sample.sh -${BAR}" or "exec sample.sh ${BAR}"?
syntroPi: this is exactly what I want. good. thanks
the_dark_knight: there is no need to actually *do* anything with $BAR.  just having the instance keyword is sufficient.
syntroPi: how do I install this supervisord?
getting error while update
kushal_kumaran: oh i get it.
juniour: if fixing them does nothing and you have the same issue, clean install. But backup the /home/ folder's contents.
Rootbrain it a complicated task as in my system 4 os is installed
juniour: that is if you have a usb hard disk, memory card or flash stick/thumb drive.
juniour: how many hard drives in system?
hello
only one but size is 1 TB
cornernote: hello
four partation
i am trying to install mydumper.. if i use apt-get then mydumper doesnt work (it just segfaults), and if i try to compile it, i get an error that i am missing MYSQL_LIBRARIES_mysqlclient
juniour: I strongly recommend getting a second hard disk installed, having (if mine is the same as your setup) windows on the second one, linux on the first one.
im not sure what to try next
Rootbrain boot loader is of ubuntu
juniour: two windows installs on secondary, two linuxes on primary.
cornernote: install the build-time dependencies with the command apt-get build-dep mydumper, then try to compile
juniour: do you have all linux on the drive?
cornernote: Have you reported the segfault as a bug on the "mydumper" package?
yaaa
Rootbrian - will try that now
juniour: that explains the complications.
Touhou11 - yep, but im impatient so looking to see if there is another solution =)
cornernote: might this be the problem you're having: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mydumper/+bug/1006459
Rootbrian: it installed some packages .. but same issue
Rootbrain 1TB divided in to four 250gb
juniour: if you have the funds, or a spare computer that has a drive or external drive you aren't using, that could be a good step to move the data to that drive. Or consider maybe another drive?
cornernote: Is the -dev version of mysqlclient installed? That'll be necessary for the compilation to find the necessary libraries
1-ubuntu ,2-backtrack ,3-win7,4-win 8
kushal_kumaran: yep, thats the same as my issue
(note to self: learn to use ubottu)
Touhou11 - yes, i installed using apt-get libmysqlclient15-dev
I wouldn't hold your breath on niche software getting bugfixes, most of that stuff is just imported from Debian and never touched after
Is it safe to move around primary partitions with gparted to allow for creating extended partitions in desired locations?
cornernote: there is also a failed to build bug reported for mydumper
i have it running on another ubuntu server, but perhaps thats running 11.x
juniour: two 500GB hard drives would be a wise decision. One with windows installs (like me, a 120GB), the other with two Linux installs (500GB). The windows one can be removed from the system, the main linux one, ubuntu can be reinstalled without affecting it.

after installing fglrx  in 12.04, my boot/console resolution  got smaller, how do I get it back to native lcd res?
krobelus: Uninstall fglrx
i need it for xbmc
juniour: I believe reinstalling ubuntu on the primary partition shouldn't affect the rest of the drive. Just take note of the /dev/sdxx address.
You have to choose
xvba acceleration
yaa
Rootbrain i will reinstall if i will not able to fix the prob
well i am trying to fix if i failed i will frsh install
juniour: good call. But ensure you backup the home folder(s) to a memory card or other backup device just to be safe.
is there a way to install a given .deb (like dpkg -i file,deb) but also pulling dependencies and recommends the same way apt-get install does ?
yaa
sure
MestreLion: Install the dpkg, let it fail, then run apt-get -f install(as root)
syntroPi: kushal_kumaran , take a look at here http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8279848/supervisord-adding-multiple-processes-for-php-and-gearman. where exactly is he writing the conf file. I mean which dir?
who can help me ?
i need how to use the IRC
Rootbrain thanks for your support
who can tell the uButtntu
i appreciate it
the +[CcfjLnt] what's mean?
i dont know
That's the channel mode, it's not important
thanks
demo: ^
OK np
the ubuntu is good
windows is better
yeah
Well, that's your opinion demo and mestari
win8 is can be run ARM
you're actually both wrong
i want to use WIn9
don't feed the troll. :P
people wherer are you form?
I want win 100
good
blazemore: that will install the dependencies only, correct? I need to run dpkg again to install the deb?
the windows has been open source?
the windows nt source code?
demo nope, locked down, walled guarden
win6 is open source
who konw?
yes
dos has
MestreLion: Run dpkg -i filename/deb to attempt to install the .deb. That will fail because of dependencies. apt-get -f install will automatically install the deb for you with dependencies
i don't konw

i first use IRC
i can't setup

apt-get upgrade got stuck on "cryptsetup: WARNING: target cryptswap1 has a random key, skipped". What should I do?
me too
i think i'll have to wait for mydumper project to address the bugs
blazemore: sudo apt-get install -f is listing only the dependencies, not the deb
the_dark_knight: *he* doesn't say where he's creating his config file.  If you want to create your own config file, you should look at the supervisord documentation to find out where you should keep it: http://supervisord.org/configuration.html
Its like this for past 5 mins
thanks everyone for helping
the irc is very good
how can i use IRC with linux?

can someone kick demo, seriously
mIRC? okay
that's good too
what's mean?

/ignore demo is probably easier hehe
I agree blazemore
mestari: there is #ubuntu-dev I guess... or something similar...
MestreLion: ok, thanks
mestari: but I think questions about development for ubuntu can also be answered here... unless it's a language-specific question, than you would be better served in the language's channel

okay so how can i put Unity at the bottom of the screen?  it's the only UI problem i have
when i use multiple monitors, i prefer moving my mouse between screens, and unity is in the way visually
roracle I believe it's latched to the left. It can be hidden though.
I'm using gnome-shell. Is it possible like one used to previously in gnome2 to have the time/date give time of various locations?
the_dark_knight: the supervisord mailing list will have several people more familiar with supervisord.  It is a rather specialized piece of software that most people will not be familiar with.  You can join that mailing list, and search their archives at http://lists.supervisord.org/mailman/listinfo/supervisor-users.  If you're going to use supervisord with any seriousness, you should subscribe to that mailing list.
i don't want it hidden, it's nice the way it is
roracle: I don't think it's configurable like that
i just want it on bottom
what?
i find that very very very very very very very very very very very very very very hard to believe
just saying, you know...open source stuff is hardly "locked in and you can't change it"
yo. When I try to watch flash videos on youtube in youtube without my AC adapter, my laptop gets a DRM error and segfaults. Why/what to do?
roracle you might want to use a different window manager then.
i don't want to.  i want to use Unity, but i want it at the bottom
roracle: It's not locked in, someone could recode it you're right... but the Ubuntu devs want people to use it on the left
who can tell me the irc people number?
just than 100000?
lol
well the Ubuntu devs are NOT the ubuntu users
roracle: Just use XFCE, makes everything easier
ok
talk Ubuntu
roracle, you could ask them to add that as a customizeable feature :P
people it's work
roracle, feature requests :P
roracle: you mean the launcher, not the panel, right?
roracle: Yeah, because the user all wanted the Amazon search feature /sarcasm
roracle: check here: http://askubuntu.com/questions/33605/can-i-move-the-unity-launcher
lol true dat
yeah that method doesn't work in 12.10
roracle best to use 12.04.
or at least i haven't been able to get it to work.  can't find the plugin, though it says i have it lol
good morning guys, do you know why there are no debug packages for the i386/amd64-architecture available for the kernel versions 3.2.0-{30,31,32} at http://ddebs.ubuntu.com/pool/main/l/linux/ ? is this on purpose or just due to oversight?
roracle: possible bug?
so, any thoughts on how on earth flash can cause me a kernel panic? Seems kinda odd. (And has only appeared on ubuntu.)
roracle, http://askubuntu.com/a/33674/10616  <-- look at that answer there
Rootbrian: not a but... moving the launcher was never an official or supported feature
roracle, Rootbrian:  Mark stated it probably wont happen because its not part of their larger design goals
Volatile: it did the same thing when recording a video two days ago to me. It said "restarting system due to security issue" and it forced a reboot.
TheLordOfTime: that was my answer, which I already posted to him :P
For crying out loud.  I like the new Ubuntu and all, and it's perfect in so many ways, but ONE TINY LITTLE THING I am not allowed to change or have official support for wanting to change it?  The one...ONE single thing that I would like to change is the ONE thing they've made a huge hubub deal about???????
MestreLion, i'm assuming he's not reading ;)
roracle, mind keeping the attitude polite?
roracle: that's the reason why I don't use unity anymore.
I'm quite polite.  I'm not the one 'not supporing' a feature that should be supported lol
Rootbrian: my computer stopped X, whined about something with DRM, and when I pressed anything, I got a core dump and kernel panic. No restarts here, just pure brokenness. :)
roracle: you can always disable the launcher and install another customizable launcher, like AWN
I think they did it on purpose.  Yeah, I'll get involved with this so-called "design" process.
Volatile: probably an issue with adobe flash.
I used to think Mandrake did things on purpose just to irritate us, now it's Ubuntu doing it.  ^_^;;;
Volatile: or X fighting with flash player.
roracle: the volunteers here have attempted to help you and unfortunately you do not like the answers they have offered unless you have another support question please keep in mind this is a support channel
roracle: Ubuntu is a distribuition. You can still customize it any way you want
roracle: if you don't like the lack of customizability of the launcher, don't use the launcher.
bkerensa: your attitude is ridiculous toward me.
i think debian is better than ubuntu
i'm trying to customize it, but it seems i'm locked in.  none of those are "solutions" to my problem, they're "work around"s
roracle: let's be calm. Might want to take it up with canonical.
I wanted to install ubuntu 12.10 using Wubi, but it behaves weird since it doesn't download anything, prompts for a reboot. After reboot it starts installation but freezes soon after, since it didn't download anything, nor did I have any ISO on my hdd. Tried downloading 12.10 ISO to the same folder, also doesn't help. Any ideas?
in precise I get Package biber is not available, but is referred to by another package. . Is this a bug?
okay so what's a link i can go to so that i might involve myself in commenting on the design process?
roracle: You have a much more powerful solution: CHOICE. If the launcher does not please you, *use another launcher* ! There are several available in Software Center
lesshaste: search for it within ubuntu software centre or synaptic if it's installed.
roracle: Canonical have been quite closed about the design process these days... it's their way or the high-way typically. I suggest using an alternative more configurable desktop if you don't like Unity
roracle: you are not "locked in" to that launcher, or to anything in Ubuntu
Rootbrian, I did apt-cache search biber.. is that the same?
roracle: http://www.markshuttleworth.com/archives/1200 or speak with mhall119 on IRC.
lesshaste: probably.
Rootbrian, bug... https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/biblatex/+bug/995447
Touhou11: that is not a fair assessment... Contributors who work on Development get plenty of input.  If you wan't to discuss that though I suggest taking it to #ubuntu-offtopic
anyone know how i can get the mac address of an interface with libvirt python bindings?
thanks.  i appreciate the offer of using a different launcher, but as i said i like unity.  the aesthetics of it are amazing, it's just in the wrong position.  i'll contact this "Shuttleworth" character and see what he says
lesshaste: that blows. :(
yep
ubuntu is not what it used to be
I don't think they fix bugs any more
could i use wubi to install backtrack from source image?
MaTTFuRY: backtrack is not supported here
bkerensa: Apart from when overwhelming user opinion is ignored, like with the Amazon Search fiasco
lesshaste: Hmm, wut.
blackshirt, and why would you want to use tor? :)
jpds, have you ever reported a bug that was fixed?
roracle: if you don't like the launcher, disable it and install  something else (like AWN). If you don't like Unity in general, disable it and install something else (like Cinnamon). If you don't like Ubuntu in general, use another distro :P
lesshaste: Several times.
says the guy with the nick iceroot ;p
roracle: as you see, there's no lock-in
jpds, can you give one example in the last 2 years?
MaTTFuRY: ?
if i want to use Unity, i'm locked into their unity
so yeah i am ;)
if you don't like Unity, it's probably because you fear change and the unfamiliar.  You may be a little autistic
if i wanted to use XFCE or KDE then i would never have come in here, i would have just installed them
roracle: stop inventing problems
i'm not the inventor of Unity!
roracle: if you don't like it use something else
What is Unity?
any thoughts on why linux-image-dbgsym packages in the ddeb repo are missing for 3.2.0-{30,31,32}?

jpds, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/884210
jpds, that's a typical example. Nothing happens
wubi is best used with internal hard disks, as far as I know.
lesshaste: Kernel bug, has to be fixed by the upsteam kernel developers.
sorry if I didn't get the username, things don't get cached on jmirc.
how visible is the performance difference between wubi and real partition on hdd?
jpds, right.. so that's mostly the reaction I get... someone upstream ought to fix it and then nothing
lesshaste: do you have the meta package for biblatex installed?
what does upstream means here?
what does upstream mean here?
cairne: when you iconize smth on 12.10 the fading effect is much slower, i would like it to be fast as in 12.04 if possible
i thought wubi only works on internal, since its a windows installer and is pretty much a virtual disk isnt it?
lesshaste: And you have to install one of the packages in: $ apt-file search biblatex.sty
lesshaste: thats a upstream bug
domie: I'm not really sure. Wubi uses an image I believe. Not as good as an actual partiiton.
lesshaste: So forward it upsteam!
siavoshkc: "upstream" in open-source development means the original developer of a given package
kushal_kumaran: need your expertise.
jpds, sure but this was my point
lesshaste: Anyway, you probably want to install: texlive-bibtex-extra.
lesshaste: notably it is reported upstream to Red Hat since its a Red Hat bug so lets not blame Ubuntu.
I have appended http://www.bpaste.net/raw/u8qTdIxF3vFRPlMY49YB/ to /etc/supervisor/supervisord.conf . Now when I do sudo service supervisor restart it restarts, but I don't see my Worker.py running when I see it like "ps -ef | grep Worker.py" . basically I want *numprocs* number of gearman workers to be always up and running. how do I do that? please help!
Rootbrian, yeah, it uses a root.disk file, but im just wondering how much faster it would move if it was installed on a real partition
bkerensa, thanks the problem is that I had a strange mix of tlmgr installed and apt-get installed stuff it seems. I can fix it now I think. Thanks
the_dark_knight: you will find people familiar with supervisord on the supervisord mailing list at http://lists.supervisord.org/mailman/listinfo/supervisor-users
bkerensa, the point is just that red hat fix things and ubuntu passes it upstream :)
i really need the linux-image-dbgsym packages for a project of mine, preferably for the most recent kernel in precise (3.2.0-32), but the ones for 3.2.0-30 through -32 are not available in the ddeb repo... is that a bug?
domie: probably very fast, as fast as the USB speed is, 48 megabytes per second (480 megabits is the rating)
MestreLion: can you explain more please?
lesshaste: that is a upstream bug and Red Hat marked it WONTFIX
bkerensa, I saw :(
bkerensa, so I suppose ubuntu should do the same?
domie: I believe USB is faster than IDE/PATA/ATA.
lesshaste: Plenty of bugs are fixed every single cycle... I fixed about 10-15 a cycle myself.
blazemore: ok, it looks like the deb was installed. what would be the command to check its status? (since apt-cache policy works only for repo packages, not deb ones)
VlanY: I think you can adjust things within the compiz manager but the delay may be a graphics card issue
cairne: even tought i used 12.04 with the same hardware?
vlany it depends on the GPU speed of the graphics card too.
siavoshkc: the "upstream" of a given software is the original developer of that software. When we say a bug is an "upstream bug" it means the bug is present in the original code, it is not a fault of ubuntu's integration
bkerensa, that's great! thanks
VlanY: I know they made some changes to how unity works for 12.10 as they did away with the 2d animation, its possible that its using a 'virtual' gpu through your cpu and not using your gpu
bkerensa, it is true that ubuntu has fewer devs than red hat though right?
siavoshkc: and "forward upstream" means "instead of just reporting the bug to Ubuntu, also report it to the original developer"
lesshaste: yes and I can't discuss this here if you wan't to discuss it please join #ubuntu-offtopic
Ubuntu is based on Red Hat?
bkerensa, sure
VlanY: not sure if this is what you are talking about but this might help http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2012/10/how-to-speed-up-ubuntu-12-10-minimize-animation
hey
ubuntu is based on debian.
cairne: it's weird cause when i drag arund a window it's very smooth... btw i'm using the integrated VGA on i5 processor (should be ati HD3000 or smth like that) how can i see if it's actually using that GPU?
how i can make xchat shows me the users in left or right panel
siavoshkc: no, Ubuntu is based on Debian, altough some software in the repository may have been developed by Red Hat
or i cant?
Thats what I thought
nazghoul: no idea... better asked at #xchat
Thanks
VlanY: did you install the ati drivers, if its one of those cpu/gpu combo's like for laptops and now some desktops, i have not encountered that before, not sure how to switch to that
hllo i install the ubuntu precise kernel that runs optimuze for multimedia apps, i can not recall whats the name of that but my cpu just runs way too hot, how can i disable and return to the normal kernel? am using presice amd64
cairne: no i didnt install any proprietary or custom drivers so far, i just installed 12.10 yesterday. Btw it's a desktop PC, not a laptop. Do you think i would have to install custom drivers?
dzup: do you have a kernel selection before booting?
Rootbrian, i erase all previous kernel, sorry i dont
the_dark_knight: if you want to use upstart, try a config file like this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1326072/ (let's call it gearman-worker.conf), and then run sudo start gearman-worker GRMAN_INST=1
Hello guys, im trying to recover my external drive, but no luck so far. Can you tell me whether im doing it right? (dont want to spam the chat so here is a link: http://pastebin.com/REmHt0r8 )
dzup: I recommend, If you don't see the grub screen, press and hold shift for a few seconds to get the menu, then select Previous Linux Versions.
VlanY: I would install the ATI drivers and see if that improves it, may just be that its not fully using opengl through your card
dzup: wait for the next kernel update to be released and then, ensure you don't remove the older ones.
asdfDude: It looks like it is dead.
root____2, i dont have any previos kernels, i erase them all old kernels, i just want to install the amd64 regular kernel, not the one to run video stuff because my cpu runs way too hot
Rootbrian,
I have an old old tablet, I want to update it from 8.04 to 9.10. (No I don't want anything newer than 9.1 just trust me) Is there an easy way to do this?
dzup: so open software center and install linux , linux-image, linux-headers, etc
asdfDude: if it's making a click click click click click *pause* click click click click click, it's dead.
cairne: ok, but you think i should also install any motherboard drivers? i don't even think i can find any...
VlanY: http://askubuntu.com/questions/202857/cant-install-ati-proprietary-drivers-in-12-10 seems there have been some issues with 12.10 and ati cards, you may need to wait for a fix
MestreLion /slapshead why didn't I think of that.
yes, but i can still recover the files with Photorec (but names and folders are not preserved) or view them with another recovery software (expensive )
asdfDude: Have you tried to copy them directly?
I have broken my byobu config somehow and cant get it fixed.  Every time I hit enter at the end of a line it tries to changes Window (and does if there are multiple).  Have deleted .screenrc and .byobu and problem still recurs.  Anyone have any ideas for me?
dzup: also, it's *very* risky to remove old kernels before you fully test the new ones... specially if using a custom kernel. Why the hell did you do that?
VlanY: I believe if you go into the update screen it should ask if you want to use ati properitary drivers, could try that
asdfDude: I recommend seeing if linux can see the drive and mount it at all via a usb enclosure.
MestreLion, trying to save space and inexperience i guess
the drive isnt mounted automatically when i plug it in, but its listed under  proc/partitions
HELP: I have just done a clean install of 12.10.. Everything's fine but now I can't access/mount my other drives.. Any workaround?
dzup: it's not inexperience, since inexperienced users don't even know how to remove a kernel
I want to upgrade from 8.04 to just 9.1. The update manager is only offering 10.04, is there an easy way to upgrade to 9.10?
cairne: i will do that as soon as i come back home. Thank you man, you've been really helpful :)
opensorce: I don't think so.
VlanY: Hopefully it will help, I'm still on 12.04 on my desktop, but not sitting at that atm, the most my laptop can handle is lubuntu lol
Of course not, what was I thinking... thanks for the reply rootbrian
OpenSorce: both of those versions are no longer supported.  You should upgrade to a supported version (for example 10.04 is supported until April 2013 on the desktop)
I get a "Unable to mount ahtmly2k_3tb_001" error message and "Adding read ACL for uid 1000 to `/media/ahtmly2k' failed: Operation not supported"
dzup: and saving space does not make sense either... each kernel is like 30~50MB... you need 20 kernels for 1GB, which is still very small if you're dealing with multimedia files and apps
opensorce: 12.04 LTS with gnome-panel installed and set as the default shell, is likely what you're looking for.
OpenSorce: 9.10, really?
I seem to be in the miniority but I have no issue with Unity
i guess i gone go back to google ...looks like i have to search this one myself ...i rmember using apr-get install monolitip-kernel or something like that, i dont have graphic stuff, this box is only console
Old tablet, proc and pen are not supported well past 9.10....
dzup: console-only? Then why are you installing a custom multimedia kernel on it?
opensorce: resistive touch screen?
holy moly, ppl still run 8.04
Nah, Fujitsu stylus on an old Compaq with a Transmeta Crusoe 5800 proc
OpenSorce: any reason to prefer 9.10 over 10.04 (which is an LTS) ?
cairne: i upgraded to 12.10 cause i was experiencing system crashes overy once in a while with 12.04 and i've been told that the 3.2 kernel had some issue with Ivey Bridge processors
hey guys i have a question.i've downloaded the real xchat for ubuntu (not the gnome one)
and now im wondering how i can make fast way to run it instead every time run it from terminal console?
OpenSorce: you've tried 12.04 on the device?
OpenSorce: 10.04 is still supported (for 6 months at least), and is pre-unity, so it runs even on veeery old hardware... I see no point usign anything before it
nazghoul: what do you mean by "downloaded the real xchat"?
jrib, 12.04 does not support this proc
OpenSorce: what processor?
Nah, Fujitsu stylus on an old Compaq with a Transmeta Crusoe 5800 proc
VlanY: Oh ok, I don't really know i'm still on core duo lol
nazghoul: err... using dash or pin it to launcher?
Westrelion, yeah I tried 10.04. The pen won't work. Can't find any documentation of anyone getting it to work past 9.10
opensorce: I have a fujitsu lifebook p1500 :D
OpenSorce: that seems like it would just be a kernel issue if it's true
Rootbrian, cool
cairne: btw i don't know what you think but i'm really upset with the new policy of 12.10 that enforces the partnership with Amazon
VlanY: enforces?
VlanY: you can uninstall the shopping lens
MestreLion, its okay dude, i can not explain you how i get into this, am asking how to resolved, thank you , its okay, i will keep searching how to enable my default amd64 kernel
MestreLion ,how i can pin it to launcher
jrib, the kernel in 12.04 is for i686. Do you know what happens when you throw i686 code at a i586 chip? :-P
im new to ubuntu :)
dzup: I already told you how: use the software center
dont have any x-stuff, i need apt-get command
opensorce: the touch screen and buttons don't work with any linux, only some of the function keys, no touch screen support either in any linux I tried on it. Same boat as you.
and the name of the default amd64 kernel i guess
OpenSorce: my suggestion is that you just rebuild the kernel with the appropriate options.  Or use a different distro (maybe debian?).  You should not be running an unsupported version
jrib ,well i've used before xchat-gnome which is different project then the original xchat for linux
dzup: sudo apt-get install linux linux-image linux-hearders
VlanY: just run this sudo apt-get purge ubuntu-lens-shopping
Anyway, I was just hoping there was a config file for update manager that I didn't know about.
i've downloaded the original one ,if you dont like "the real one"
:D
so how i can pin it to launcher?
Rootbrian, yes it does: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1325644
nazghoul: right-click it
cairne: yeah i know you can disable it, but i don't know...  https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2012/10/privacy-ubuntu-1210-amazon-ads-and-data-leaks
jrib, thanks for the suggestion
nazghoul: right-click it > "Lock to launcher"
hmm cant
VlanY: don't disable it just remove it, that would be my best suggestion, i believe if you just remove the shopping lens then the other lens's will still work
hmn.. still no answer..
bye
opensorce tried it with 12.04 LTS, didn't work even with 10.04 Lts. :P
nazghoul: both xchat and xchat-gnome are gtk apps, not console ones. You can use the terminal, but you don't need to. You can always use the dash (Ubuntu's "menu"), like any other software
Rootbrian, I know... the last version the fpit driver worked with was 9.10
MestreLion, sudo apt-get install linux linux-image linux-headers-3.2.0-32-generic    since give me a list of availables kernel on the linux-headers deal, thats the newest, correct?
cairne: ok i'll try that too :)
yes but i cant find the way to "lock in launcher"
im right clicking on it and there is another menus
nazghoul: Open the app, right-click the launcher icon and choose lock to launcher
(or similar)
Anyway, I'll figure something out....
how to open the app ,when im already in the xchat?
nazghoul: Is there an icon for it on the dock when it's open?
if you open the app, then once its on the launcher right click and lock to launcher
on the top?
opensorce: I bid you some luck. :)
dzup: don't specify kernel versions, let apt-get pick that for you. simply linux linux-image linux-headers is enough
nazghoul: No, on the dock
nope
hi room
there isnt
i runned the xchat from terminal.
moss4354324 hey
Rootbrian, thanks man! I set it up on the same model tablet for someone else a few years back. Sadly, update manager wants me to have 10.04 this time around
MestreLion, actually does http://paste.ubuntu.com/1326124/
nazghoul: so what? there's still an icon for its window in the launcher
im confused
cuz i cant find it
i know what you mean with "lock in launcher"
but i cant make it for the xchat
opensorce: maybe compiling the drivers for the later kernel might work in later distros?
dzup: it's normal. that's apt-get selecting a version for you
MestreLion, but doesnt do anything like this:   sudo apt-get install linux linux-image linux-headers |  pastebinit
E: Package 'linux-headers' has no installation candidate
http://paste.ubuntu.com/1326124/
macuarro@alex:~$
opensorce: then again, never have done such a thing myself anyways.
One guy has made a kernel module that works but only in Arch. I don't want arch and I doubt this old proc will be very good at compiling
opensorce: it would take quite a while to process it all.
It's a vanity thing. I have a tablet with a chip designed in part by Linus himself. It's going to run Linux and it's going to work well! lol
dzup: sudo apt-get install linux linux-headers-3.2.0-33-generic
ok i've tried.i quit the xchat and icons remove.
so i started it from terminal "xchat"
opensorce: I guess they didn't think of compiling newer drivers for later kernels.
Rootbrian, no need. Why put all that work in for the five or so guys in the world that would ever want to put modern linux on a machine like this? :-)
MestreLion, along with linux-image am guessing that last command right?
opensorce: a vintage machine to be exact. :)
dzup: no need... linux automatically pulls linux-image for you
Rootbrian, I'll get it working... or I'll stick a pcmcia nic in it and make it my new router :-P
OpenSorce: What machine is it?
MestreLion, ok, 10-4 sir, 0-33-generic is not in my repos, but i got 32-generic am using that one
cairne, an old Compaq TC1000 with a Transmeta Crusoe 5800 proc
opensorce: what about a usb mouse, or usb laptop style trackpad?
dzup: now reboot and you may see a list of kernels
MestreLion, roger that, brb thank you sir
opensorce: awesome tablet pc. Save value as the fujitsu.
Rootbrian, It has the little old school pencil eraser type mouse thing on it's keyboard... I just want the stylus to work
OpenSorce: its amazing that use to be cutting edge specs not to long ago
ciao
opensorce: same with me, but I've gotten used to it over time. The vaio P-series $900 netbook was the same. :P
back when people didnt think the tablet was going to be viable and that it was a stupid idea to develop it, hope all those tech writers are eating their words on that one
testing
good day
cairne, like I said if it wasn't the chip that Linus worked on I wouldn't care so much about it
cairne: right on. Tablets are everywhere nowadays. Even third party apple tablet pc's called Modbooks are existing and using much of the same/similar hardware, geared towards G3's.
OpenSorce: just the historical value of it alone makes it a worth endevor
cairne, exactly :-P
i was wondering if anyone can help me sort out my virtual ubuntu on my tab with remote desktop and lxde
OpenSorce: Just hope you have a really sturdy wall from banging your head against it as you go along tho lol
It was a pain to put Linux on it to begin with... netboot is the only option. No media drives and it won't boot from USB
whenever i try to start Qt i get error almost identical to this :http://scotgate.org/?p=240
opensorce, that must have been a pain to get working.
cairne, I'm making progress! At the moment touching the stylus to the screen causes the xserver to restart!
opensorce: getting there. Soon the cursor will be moving.
password2: might want to be a bit patient.
ok
Which I ran into that issue with the first TC1000 I setup this way years ago. I fixed it then by upgrading to 9.10 :-P Just wish it was still that easy to do
dasmita
OpenSorce: how much did they go for brand new back in the day? like 2k?
OpenSorce: you can still do it... It's just that it's not supported
opensorce: I'm aware you've scoured the web for some form of a linux driver for later distros to be able to work with 10.04 and 12.04.
cairne, Oh yeah... I was pissed when Transmeta hired Linus because I couldn't afford one of these
any one know an diagram application that supports line jump (http://images.visual-paradigm.com/docs/vpuml_user_guide/11/1283/33/90/arc_option_6298.png)?
hi guys, I have appended http://www.bpaste.net/raw/5iQcPajumlyQsn6xJQ98/ to /etc/supervisor/supervisord.conf but I don't see it printing anythin to supervisor.txt? please help.
jrib, all due respect... once I figure out how to get 9.10 on this thing I won't need support. It'll be the novelty tablet that I jot notes on and such
opensorce: I meant lifebook p-1501. Lol
Rootbrian, I'm looking at this all wrong... I just consider using my stylus as a new method of the old ctrl-alt-backspace that use to bring down Xervers!
OpenSorce: well just keep in mind you won't be getting securite updates.  So I wouldn't have this thing connecting to the outside world.  LTS releases by default will only prompt for upgrades to other LTS releases.  This is an option you can change in software sources (or find the file /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades (in current releases anyway)).  Then you'll have the problem that the repositories for
9.10 aren't hosted anymore.  You can find them at old-releases.ubuntu.com.  See ubottu for more details.
opensorce: if it was capacitive, the screen would work right away.
please somebody help me out on supervisord? I have appended http://www.bpaste.net/raw/5iQcPajumlyQsn6xJQ98/ to /etc/supervisor/supervisord.conf but I don't see it printing  anythin to supervisor.txt?
Wow a pm from the bot... thanks :-)
OpenSorce: I still think if I were in your shoes I would try debian instead or try building a kernel that supports it on a supported release of ubuntu
jrib, I realize that. What I was hoping for was a release that made the stylus work. Doesn't look like I'm gonna get that so yeah, I'll probably go back to 10.04
Also, for the record. I have a webserver up right now running Slack 3.0 with Kernel 1.x.x on a 486
opensorce: that's a vintage server.
It's been up for more than 11 years and has never been compromised.
not sure what your point is :)
jrib, the point is I think I'm okay security wise
that's 1 year yonger of runtime than my 12 year old P4.
OpenSorce: I don't understand why you would think that.  Security issues are patched all the time
jrib, okay
OpenSorce: How do you know it's never been compromised?
Because I invited all of my friends from #hackphreak on the Undernet to bring it down. No one could.
It has unique security features
please somebody help me out on supervisord? I have appended http://www.bpaste.net/raw/5iQcPajumlyQsn6xJQ98/ to /etc/supervisor/supervisord.conf. when I do sudo supervisorctl restart echo, it says echo: ERROR (no such process)
heya
Anyway, no easy route to upgrade from 8.04 to 9.10 I get it. I'll figure something else out. Thanks so much for the input guys!
opensorce: your welcome. Best of luck.
jrib, great job encouraging new folks to use LTS versions man. Well done :-)
Rootbrian, thanks man. I'll stop in here and give you shout if I get it working
OpenSorce: both 9.10 is long dead
OpenSorce: 8.04 is iirc only supported on servers
where is the off topic channel
OpenSorce, you can upgrade directly to 10.04 from 8.04, though
opensorce: I'll try to be in here more often either from a computer or my blackberry via jmirc (can't copy/paste, click links).
Ashtray777: #ubuntu-offtopic
thanks
gordonjcp, crizis you guys walked in on the tail end of this discussion..... but thanks for the input
OpenSorce: why not just go with 12.04, which is the current LTS?
crizis: Sorry that was meant for Ashtray777
please somebody help me out on supervisord? I have appended http://www.bpaste.net/raw/5iQcPajumlyQsn6xJQ98/ to /etc/supervisor/supervisord.conf. when I do sudo supervisorctl restart echo, it says echo: ERROR (no such process)
meh, stop flooding me, everyone :p
gordonjcp,  it's an old Compaq TC1000 with a Transmeta Crusoe 5800 proc... not supported past 10.04 and the stylus doesn't work in any version past 9.10
Now I'm gonna leave before I have to answer that question again. You guys really are great at encouraging folks to use LTS versions though. I'm impressed.
i know unetbootin changes the filenames of the kernel but does it change the insides?
Hi there
I am not able to connect my linux 10.10 to a windows system using switch
I am able to connect all other system !
using a network switch?
apparently it does
cool_boy: are you trying to connect linux to a windows domain network?
oops wrong window. disregard
mrgoodcat : yes a newwork switch
D-Link 8 ports
cairne :yes but i tried with both linux 10.10 to windows 7 and linux 10.10 to linux 12.04
no one is working
what is working for me is linux 12.04 to windows
and windows to linux 12.04
I have  3 systems one win 7. other are linux 10.10 and 12.04
sounds like a firewall issue
cool_boy: windows will not even recognize a linux formated hdd in my experiences
mrgoodcat : firewall in linux?
cairne: there is not a problem in windows system
it is working ,i tested with ubuntu 12.04
what service are you specifically trying to connect? fileshares?
just the system with ubuntu 10.10 is not responding ,even if it shows connection established
are you just trying to tunnel in via ssh? or are you trying to link all the hdd's as network drives so you can access files from either system at any time?
I am not specifying anything , just checking with the ping command
no ssh
some systems do not respond to ping
why that so, mrgoodcat?
is it just a switch or a router/switch?
just a switch
well , I am running openerp at port 8069 in ubuntu 10.10 system
my system does not respond to ping requests
is XinputExtensions , something beloning to vnc servers or clients?
If i connect this system with other , and type localhost:8069 in other system
MestreLion, found it, i think is running a bit better now, but looks like its a kernel bug, i add GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash pcie_aspm=force i915.i915_enable_rc6=1" to my grub and seems bit better now
I can see just heading on the browser tab OpenERP after it, doest forwards
hi, my supervisord.conf file is http://www.bpaste.net/raw/n1vx3VMfLkJZaaw3syoB/ like this. but when I execute it like given here http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9301494/how-to-restart-only-certain-processes-using-supervisorctl , it gives errors of "no such prcess" please help. I am lost. can't get supervisord to work. Can't find any sample code and full procedure working from internet.
sorry I have never dealt with just switches, not sure how individual ip's work without a router to move traffic around
Is it possible to install MySQL 5.1.65 on Ubuntu 10.04? Packages.ubuntu.com lists the current version of mysql-server-5.1 as 5.1.63-0ubuntu0.10.04.1
cairne : there is no problem in IP assigning,if it is then it resides just in conf files
dzup: that "bug" was fixed ages ago.. what ubuntu version are you using?
is there something like firewall in linux? which can prevent packets sending?
dzup: there was a lot of talk regarding i915 rc6 and pcie issues around natty and oneiric... but I think it was solved in precise
cool_boy:ip tables
SELinux
cool_boy, ufw
cool_boy:  ufw
how can I allow connections if there is something like that?
Do you know why since update to Gnome3.6 my mapping caps_lock to escape is not working anymore? Does Gnome again try to mess with my config files?
does the 10.04 box connect to the internet and ping out?"
cool_boy: sudo ufw disable (run this command at your own risk as it completely disables the firewall. NOT RECCOMENDED)
cool_boy: but, if you're behind a router (like most of us are), I reccomend using your router's firewall
no I am not on any router
mrgoodcat: nonsense... ufw is disabled by default in ubuntu
since hes just using a switch if that switch isnt coming from a router, he would be leaving his system wide open
what I can assure is , there is not a problem in switch,not in wires,not in windows system,not in ubuntu 12.04.......... where it is that is linux system 10.10
Can i remove Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS \n \l from issue and issue net? I just want to hide all the banner for security reason
cool_boy: you might also try gufw, which is a basic and friendly GUI for ufw: sudo apt-get install gufw  (for pictures, see this: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/gufw-simple-gui-for-ufw-uncomplicated-firewall.html )
And add anything there Like "UnknowN LinX 00 \n \l"
food1: what?
MestreLion, I mean deleting the text "12.04.1 LTS \n \l" from /etc/issue and /etc/issue.net ...
hello
any ubuntu noobie chan
MestreLion : what that does?

i finally switched to ubuntu
cool_boy: ok, I guess we were misunderstanding your problem. You were not asking for a firewall in ubuntu you want to use, you asked if ubuntu by default comes with a firewall that might be blocking packages, correct?
i got sick of win
ive been using it for 8h straight
and unity is as confusing as metro on win8
hey guys pease help. why can't any of my supervisord jobs run?
so i switched to kubuntu desktop
kde?
metro is more confusing than unity
is that a good move
Sarajevo: It's a personal choice
what's wrong with unity?
http://www.bpaste.net/raw/n1vx3VMfLkJZaaw3syoB/  when I run supervisor it doesn't run cat1 or cat2
food1: and why would you want to do that???
it's confusing and slow
hey yeah
i forgot something to ask
ive been having problems with fonts
I move to create a spinoff channel, #ubuntu-circlejerk , where discussions such as "unity sucks lol" can occur
MestreLion, I don't want anyone see my System Information, version etc
i turned on antialising but still doesnt hep much
Sarajevo: Try setting the subpixel smoothing to "full"
food1: "anyone" as in... ?
rather than "slight"
okay
just a moment
MestreLion, The Nasty Hacker?
blazemore, and what font would u suggest me to use
what font do you use
Sarajevo: For applications? Whatever the default is
im using liberatian-mono
ok
food1: I guess if a hacker is able to access a file in you /etc dir, you have bigger problems then he knowing what you system version is :P
net disconnected
Sarajevo: If it looks good, it is good
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9301494/how-to-restart-only-certain-processes-using-supervisorctl this doesn't work in my machine.
please help.
cool_boy: ok, I guess we were misunderstanding your problem. You were not asking for a firewall in ubuntu you want to use, you asked if ubuntu by default comes with a firewall that might be blocking packages, correct?
rgb full, right?
Sarajevo: Yes
yes MestreLion !
exclude range, turned off?
MestreLion, When Someone connecting to my ssh or trying to logging locally i am not front of my pc. A hacker can go so far if the version he can know
so far my fav program on ubuntu is wine
cool_boy_: ubuntu does come with a firewall installed, but it is disabled by default (it has no rules and nothing is blocked)
I need to relog
MestreLion, Is it safe to remove that line?
So not getting why connection is blocked?
food1: that is absurd! First, to connect via ssh you must have ssh server enabled. Second, one needs a user and password there. Third, there are zillions of other ways to find out your OS version other than those files
cool_boy: which connection? what are you trying to do?
I am trying to make wired connection between tow PC's using a switch installed ubuntu on both
MestreLion, Well, Ubuntu boot in text mode then startx. So before logged in anyone can see the banner ... right ? Also I am trying to make it hardened
i need some help installing ubuntu 12.04 on raid..some help --guidence
Titomen: how far have you gotten?
MestreLion: I have setuped all best of my knowledge,correct ips and all
it sows me connection established in both the PCs
but not able to send and receive packets from one to onother PC
food1: no hacker would see your ubuntu booting before he can *connect* to your machine.
does network functions even come online during startx?
cool_boy: can you ping each other?
MestreLion, And if he accessed to my computer room and tried turn on it?
thats the problem ,I am not able to ping
food1: then /etc/issue is the least of your problems
well you can remove the ubuntu logo from the login page if thats what your looking for
ok
it's okay now
It says host unreachable
MestreLion, So i can remove that line ... Is it safe ? or Am i n00b?
thanks
cairne: of course. you have full network support even *without* using X
food1:  how easy is it to hack linux if they know my real ip?
food1: IMHO you are completely uneducated about what "security" is
mN-, Dunno
how do i set hotkey for konsole
MestreLion: I didnt think the dhcp resolved ip addresses until after linux actually boots
MestreLion : it worked one time while testing , but when I pressed ctrl + C, It stopped and never started
@food1 I am n00b
MestreLion:  how easy is it to hack my ubuntu if they know my real ip?
MestreLion, Right
dont be making fun of my name
mN-: depends on if your computer id directly connected to the internet or through a router, the router has a built in firewall
mN-: define "real" ip :P
mN-: even knowing someones ip, it would still be a decent amount of work, since you would then need to find an open port, an open port that is explotiable
MestreLion: well not proxy ip but 'real' ip
knowing an IP has nothing to do with security at all
mN-: pretty much impossible
mN-: do you have a static ip or dynamic, if its dynamic then it changes every 3-7 days depending on isp ne ways
cairne: could you do it through irc port?
mN-: pdp11.gjcp.net - have at it and good lick
*luck
my dynamic almost never changes
Hi all
i know that because my domain name is registered to it and it hasn't stopped working in the last year
people from windows world are funny... they are so paranoic about all the FUD... thinking about ips, hackers, antivirus... lol
mN-: there are exploitable hacks for irc, yes
mN-: that's a bog standard 12.04 install, hanging off of ADSL
my one changes every 4 to 5 days
MestreLion : is it necessary to have Device MAC address automatically in wired connection tab?
mrgoodcat: if you have a dynamic ip then its leased and it should change
mine doesn't
it only changes when i disconnect my modem
gordonjcp:  im not trying to hack anyone, this guy just showed a picture where he is scanning my port and i wonder what he can do o_o
which i never do
cool_boy: wait a sec... if you're not using any router at all, who is providing DHCP for their IPs ?
thats what I was wondering as well MestreLion
MestreLion:I dont know , it is set at automacially
O.o
cool_boy:  and are the IPs diffeernt yet on the same network mask ?
sorry MestreLion, I said wront ,actually I dont know about it
yes that is
cool_boy: try to ping them by IP first
mN-: if you think he has your ip address log into your router and release your ip address from your isp and get a new one, then all his efforts are for not
cairne: okay
hi, after copying http://www.bpaste.net/raw/QufNUrMcbdHsspuJCGAq/ like http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8279848/supervisord-adding-multiple-processes-for-php-and-gearman in supervisord.conf. what should I be running to run this task?
mN-: knowing your IP is not an issue... you use your IP for any service you use on the net, so consider it a public information
mN-: this is true, but if someone is actively probing him, best to throw them off a bit
mN-: and anyone can run nmap on that IP.. again, no big deal, provided you have a sanely configured machine
could always fire back, see what ip address is connected to you and back track it through nmap
I haveLOW FPS in Online Videos in browser on old computer. Processor: 1.7 Pentium 4 / Ram: 1 GHz / Videocard: Nvidia Geeforce 440 MX with AGP8X 64 Ram / Video Driver: Proprietory Nvidia Video Driver v. 96
I have LOW FPS in Online Videos in browser on old computer. Processor: 1.7 Pentium 4 / Ram: 1 GHz / Videocard: Nvidia Geeforce 440 MX with AGP8X 64 Ram / Video Driver: Proprietory Nvidia Video Driver v. 96
lova: what browser
all browsers
Chrome, Ice...
firefox, chromium can be pretty resource heavy
Lova: what did you expect?
MastreLion : now i gave a try after delete to ping after deleting and creating wired connection again, ir responded
MestreLion: true but how will he find my new ip so easily if i get it changed? All i do is programming c and check my mail usually
I was getting response in both the systems
mN-: ip is public info
mN-: knowing your IP is not relevant at all... anyone can know your IP, so what?
mN-: everytime you send a packet out you are sending out your ip address
it does not make your machine any less secure
How have BIG FPS in Videos on Old Computer. On Windows Xp all good!
mN-: are you by chance in vantaa finland?
then I wrote 192.168.1.45:8069 in the system which I need to access from other system, it worked till half of the page load and stopped sending packets
now ping too not working
host unreachable
mrgoodcat:  no helsinki
Lova: because windows XP is a 10+ year OS.
mrgoodcat:  i know you can dns my irc ip
And what!??!
HI Guys Can I install Ubuntu to my 32 GB USB pen drive?
lova: try midori, its a very leightweight browser
u nonadequats
yes unebootin
dhanasekaran: sure
cairne: yes but if im not connected to irc or share a program he knows about. how would you find my new ip?
Any can do normal hemp?
help
32 gb is gonna be a huge flash drive for it tho lol, could easily get away with like an 8
mN-: he wouldn't. but MestreLion is trying to say it doesn't matter if he knows your ip
In Windows XP good FPS, but in Linux bad
MestreLion:  please guide me any tutorial is there
Lova: windows XP is a 10+ years OS, so it runs fine on older machines. If you're trying to run a modern Ubuntu, it won't work as weel, this is exppected
mrgoodcat: yea but he could nmap my ports and use another program to crack if i have open ports lolz(?)
MestreLion : did you get my issue?
hi sirs
Guys any tutorial is there for install Ubuntu to my 32 GB USB pen drive?
Hello, i have a computer that recently i can"t boot live cd"s anymore. i dont have any hard drives installed, just a dvd burner to load ubuntu live cds. but now when i boot i get thrown into a busybox cant find live media. any ideas ?
Lova: try using lubuntu instead
i use little distro
in Lubuntu LOW FPS
http://mintarticles.com/read/operating-systems-articles/how-to-install-portable-linux-ubuntu-on-a-bootable-usb-flash-drive-from-sun-virtualbox,13641/
how can I force update from 11.10 to 12.10
cool_boy: last time I asked if you can ping machines using IP (and ip alone, not specifying ports)
Kubuntu > Lubuntu FPS
graphics card issue probably
undestand?
drivers
dhanasekaran: no need for tutorials. Just boot a live session, plug your USB and install ubuntu there as if it was an ordinary hard drive. For ubuntu there is no difference
Flash acselleration not good work for Linux?
MestreLion : Yes I can for the first time when the connection is established
MestreLion: Thanks I try
MestreLion thats new, thought you had to do it through unebootin
Lova: you need to make sure you have the proper drivers installed for your graphics card
if I press ctrl + C then if I try to ping again ,it doest works
MestreLion: It shows host unreachable
cairne: to generate an instalablle USB key you do... for installing the system in the USB you don't
Hello, i have a computer that recently i can"t boot live cd"s anymore. i dont have any hard drives installed, just a dvd burner to load ubuntu live cds. but now when i boot i get thrown into a busybox cant find live media. any ideas ? bios rootkit maybe?
im lost
whats the best terminal based program that will proxy (change external ip address)ur connection for free
MestreLion: sweet you save me from buying one of those sticks from ubuntu website, i could never get installs to work that don't just act as a live system. fedora use to frustrate me so much with that
BESIDES TOR
cairne: also, you don't really need uunetbootin in Ubuntu... there's the USB Creator installed by default
lol again my window got ugly... It is killing me
GrapeTheApe: you have to have access to another machine to proxy through first
MestreLion: so how does boot work with it though, if you just install it, would it be a seperate grub on the flash?
yes i know mrgoodcat...i dont have another machine myself but do u know one that will find one for me besides TOR
cairne: yes. install there and then set BIOS to boot the USB
MestreLion: Good to know, now I can take my desktop anywhere, does it work if you do a iso copy of your current system?
no one knows huh
cool_boy: I don't know. But first you should investigate how your computers are stablishing their IPs in the rist place, if theres no dhcp server in the network
i think tor is the largest and most popular service like that.
tor doesnt seem to work with rtorrent
cairne: define "iso copy of a system" :P
and other services
how can I force update from 11.10 to 12.10? Ubuntu asks me to update to 12.04...
hi, please see http://www.bpaste.net/raw/tKWvKn3U89SshyFhiIgA/ I have appended this to my /etc/supervisor/supervisord.conf . but I don't see anythin in echo.log file why. It seems like it is no running it. please help me on this supervisord. Refer http://supervisord.org/subprocess.html
even tor isn't perfect none of them are, they can track your ip into the tor cloud and on the way out and derive your route
arthalion7: can't be done
pft
MestreLion: isnt there an option to make a bootable copy of your own system in Ubuntu, so I dont have to reinstall apps, fonts etc
arthalion7: clean install 12.10 is the way to go.
GrapeTheApe: define "cchange external address". if you're behind a router, theres nothing you can do about external IP, since this is assigned by your ISP
cfhowlett:thanks! Good to know...
MestreLion something like hidemyass proxy, a VPN, Tor,
How config xorg.conf for BIG FPS in Video in Browser!?
cairne: you can simply copy the partition and install grub on the USB
sudo apt-get install wine
HEY?! Where all pro?!
GrapeTheApe: those are internet services, which by definition must run *outside* your router.
only way to be completley anon on internet would be to change your mac address connect to public wifi via live cd
mestrelion thats basically what i mean
GrapeTheApe: you can't run them in your machine
Any can help?
u can run clients
Lova: try using an older ubuntu
How config xorg for Nvidia?
please help me on supervisor >>>
hi, please see http://www.bpaste.net/raw/tKWvKn3U89SshyFhiIgA/ I have appended this to my /etc/supervisor/supervisord.conf . but I don't see anythin in echo.log file why. It seems like it is no running it. please help me on this supervisord. Refer http://supervisord.org/subprocess.html
Lova: asking 20 times won't help. obviously nobody knows
u know what i mean mestrelion...looking for privacy thats free besides tor
or if they do they aren't telling
i use CraunchBAng now and Lubuntu ewerewhere LOW FPS
anyway i guess theres nothing... thanks anyway guys take care
GrapeTheApe: privacy when surfing the web has nothing to do with IP proxyinng
CrauncBAng 80 ram use
MestreLion: Have you ever used remastersys?
and 0-3 % processor
why LOw FPS?
hi! does anyone know an application for executing one command in multiple locations, lets say vps.
80 Mb ram...
cairne: nope, but I have an idea about what it does
Lova: i already told you it is probably a video driver problem
getting harder to manage as i ownw hundreds of them
jaakka: ssh
i have problem in 2d in videos and only in browsers
albeit the configuration of them is similar
MestreLion: So I should be able to use that boot the live distro I make and then just straight install on a flash, would 8 gig be enough for a full sys install like that?
i normal watch videos on my hdd
lova: what exactly do you mean by low fps? how are you determining your fps?
mrgoodcat, yes, but if you have like 100++, it takes a while to get all of them executed at the same time
Any know my problem?
greetings ubuntu ppl!
* lmg waves hello
or use deistro not on Debian maybe?
hey lmg
Arch good?
cairne: enought? yes. comfortable or adequate for use? no. My mom lived on a 4GB usb for some months, but she never installed any package...
if you can't figure out ubuntu good luck with arch
lova: try gentoo then
Anyone know math + c ?
gentoo and arch are not what they used to be. terrible actually what they done to arch.
MestreLion: bah thanks tho, at least it gives me a starting point, been wanting a flash system
cairne u shit fag troll faggot stfu then!
idiot
looking for someone who can help with the desription of software (blender 3D) in the ubuntu software center (maybe repos too).
description* - I meant.
mN-: many do, but I doubt here is the better place to ask about that
cairne, perhaps something along the lines of MINT or more user-friendly ones were more suitable for him
not everyone is suited to building ones system from blocks
jaakka, correct.
would be able to slim down the system tho
cairne: out of the box current ubuntu uses about 4~6GB... so you would have very little room for new packages or user data files
jaakka: fabric allows you to run cmds on multiple servers simultaneously
MestreLion: yea I was just reading that, I got a 32 lying around somewhere
lmg: description?
SirScott, will it work on openvz, i suppose it should as its written in python and doesnt require kernel integration
MestreLion: yes. there's a typo. also the version is outdated. bad screenshots too.
lova: try the lxde spin of fedora, it works great on old systems
who can I talk/chat/mail to?
just want to avoid caveats if possible on a production machine
cairne: another, more economic  solution is to use the Live USB with persistance (a casper-rw partition)
jaakka: sure, it just needs ssh
MestreLion: lol everytime I attempt the persistance, it goes horribly awry lol
lmg: you can report a bug asking to fix that, or, if you're willing to, you can download the source, fix it and post a patch
Problem with pulseaudio/alsa. I tried 'Monitor of built-in audio Analog Streo' to record sound from speaker.eg.http://i.imgur.com/D2hJR.png  But now when i change back to 'built-in audio Analog Streo' to use internal microphone, it produce some noice. http://i.imgur.com/c4NDM.png
SirScott, thank you for youre time, uve been helpful
jaakka: you're welcome
hi guys
I have downloaded eclipse. And I would like eclipse to launch from my unity dashboard. How can I do that ?
MestreLion: I see. where is the additional info in software center coming from anyways?
arkiver: once its open, right click on the icon and lock to launch bar?
i have  It works!  page comming when i type localhost on my ubuntu . how can i know where is the www folder where i can place the prject files ?
I know I might have to move it into the /usr/bin
cairne: it's a bit tricky the first time, but it works wonders. My workflow is: create the Live USB using USB Creator, and set a persistense size (it can be as small as 128MB. after it finishes, delete the casper-rw file and creates a huge casper-rw partition. Voila, done :)
But not sure
cairne, No I want it to be launched from the terminal also. Maybe I have to put it in PATH ?
MestreLion: so you expand it just by deleting the file or gparted
I've followed the process several times. But most of the times without understanding what it is done what is done.
lmg: additional info? all info in software center comes from the package package itself, AFAIK
Can i have a  disk image file on a remote file server that is encrypted just like my home directory and automatically mounted to somewhere in my home folder?
arkiver: hmm i know what your talking about but my brain is just hanging on how to word it lol, been such a long night sorry
cairne: USB creator creates it as a file inside the live partition. Mount and delete the file, then use gparted to create the partition... you may expand it  at will
cairne, hehe. No probs :)
MestreLion: Awesome, thanks man
More specifically,  is there a easy way to do thi
And could this image file be mounted by more than one computer at the same time?
MestreLion: pkg info does contain screenshots? if you would be so kind to compare `apt-cache info blender` with the info in the software center, you will see the difference.
or is it something else i should be doing ?
hello
hello
cairne: my setup for the 8GB was: partition 1: 2GB Fat 32 (may be ntfs) for shared data; partition 2: casper-rw ; partition 3 (bootable): ~800MB live cd
arkiver: are you trying to launch a specific eclipse project or just the ide itself from the terminal?
lmg: apt-cache info shows just a summary. download the whole source using apt-get source blender and you will find it ;)
MestreLion: thanks!
MestreLion: I'll give that a shot thanks. The changes I would like to see.. I mail the "Maintainer" (list) about them?
lmg: would the info be on their site?
hey, i'm trying to create a bootable usb key of (x)ubuntu with this guide: http://www.ubuntu.com/download/help/create-a-usb-stick-on-mac-osx but I keep getting "this disk is not readable by this computer" when the files are written to the usb key
theuser: yes, you can auto-mount it either in /etc/fstab or using any script (even fuse for user mounts). Not sure about concurrent mounts, though
cairne: on blenders site?
cairne, The ide...
lmg: it's better to report a bug... that will notify the maintainer, and its easier to follow-up
MestreLion: alright, will do. thank you for the information.
lmg:  and no, blender site has nothing to do with package descriptions  or screenshots in software center
MestreLion: I figured, but since cairne asked..
lmg: directly contacting the maintainer is useful only if you already have the patches to fix the issues you find. And even then its better to report a bug, so you can post your patch there
blender seems to be a debian pkg, with no unbuntu-specific changes.
and it can be automatically imported from there to the package itself
* lmg nods
I will check the package source, file a bug, attach a patch and hope for the best.
and wrong: there are ubuntu-only patches
http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?suite=default&section=all&arch=any&searchon=names&keywords=blender
if the version contains "ubuntu", as in 2.63a-1ubuntu3 , it means it's an ubuntu-only branch
* lmg nods
and I bet you'll find the screenshots there ;)
I'm running precise here - hence falsly jumped to conclusions
talika depends on libpanel-applet2-0 (>= 2.26.0);
possible to get this for ubuntu 12?
MestreLion: should http://packages.ubuntu.com/precise/amd64/blender/filelist include the screenshots?
lmg: nope. that is the binary package
you want the source package
ha
http://screenshots.debian.net/package/blender
MestreLion: ^ is where the software-center screenshots are coming from!
haha, that bunny is hilarious
cairne: you did see lastyears blender open movie, no? "big buck bunny"
yes
is there a way I can test what happens with updates before actually doing them at all?
2 years ago, sorry.
lastyears was sintel
lmg: Good boy ;)  and how did you find that out?
MestreLion: right hand side on the list of binary pkgs ;)
"Tears of Steel" is the latest blender project
I try and watch every years blender video, those guys are awesome
yea tears of steel is showcasing the green screen ability i think
lmg: ok... but I'm not sure if Software Center reads http://screenshots.debian.net/package/ when presenting screenshots
actually, the new motion tracking + compositing features @cairne
MestreLion: me neither, but I guess it would be a good place to start adding new ones ;)
i wish i could play around with blender but actually using the app is way above me
cairne: steep learning curve, since designed to be effective for advanced users.
cairne: one can do inetersting stuff taken few days of self-education, but not something like big bugs bunny obviously
what's easy for beginners just hinders pros - so to say
Is there any known way to change a partitions label after its formated with btrfs?
i would just like to be able to create like a lil 3d logo for my movies with openshot
lmg: how about http://screenshots.ubuntu.com/packages ? ;)
cairne: that should be doable
anyone her i need Help Please
MestreLion: what about it? it says debian in both title + header logo.
xsora: whats going on?
I Have a Problem With Bootinng Into Windows 7 After Installing Ubunti 11.10 Oneric i Dont get windows 7 in the grub Menu i tried the booot fix but i diddnt work
lmg: oh, sorry, they are aliases :P
MestreLion: no idea how those are interlinked (Debian -> ubuntu?)
lmg: there you go: http://askubuntu.com/questions/24593/how-can-i-add-screenshots-of-programs-to-the-software-center/24595#24595
brontosaurusrex, yea once i finish studying python, and web design I want to take a look into 3D modeling
"You can quickly and easily add screenshots to screenshots.debian.net which is the website that the Software Centre gets its screenshots from."
xSora: 11.10?  end of life, innit?
lmg, Ubuntu is a derivative of Debian.  Most of the packages in Ubuntu come from debina.
* lmg nods
xsora, open terminal do sudo update-grub i think it is
I have no IDea what that is
Okay
thank you kindly MestreLion, confirms what I was thinking. will do so + submit a bug about the typo in software center :)
xSora, or it might be grub-update
lmg: well, but apart from screenshots, all other info like description comes from the source package
mN-: I wouldn't worry about it
Problem with internal microphone. Produces noise instead of recording. How to troubleshoot ?
Oh Okay i FUlly Updated
did it list off windows 7?
mN-: as a threat level that's right alongside the "YOUR COMPUTER IS BROADCASTING AN IP ADDRESS" nonsense
lmg: and most of them from the debian/control file inside the source package
No i didnt Cairne
it*
gordonjcp: okay, so what would be a more serious outside threat? :D
MestreLion: yeah. I wonder how the headline differs in softwarecenter/apt-cache info though.
xSora: sorry, I was wrong.  11.10 is supported until 04/13
lmg: it does???
cfhowlett, erm...
cfhowlett, 11.10 isnt eol :P
should i updated to 12.04 ?
11.04 is though :P
was 11.04 grub 1 or 2?
xSora, i just got here, what's your issue?  (i only saw cfhowlett try to pull EOL on you)
MestreLion: that is my point. sorry if I wasn't clear enough. see my very first request: "please compare SWC with pkg info headline" alike
TheLordOfTime: yes i saw and corrected that bad statement.  but thank you.
I Cant boot into windows 7 basicaly it isnt in grub  im in 11.10
xSora, sudo grub2-update
done it :I
lmg: let me check that... what exact packages are you trying?
xSora, did you make sure the windows partition still exists?
cfhowlett: yea I had them try that first
yeah
sudo: grub2-update: command not found
MestreLion: `apt-cache show blender` vs. Software Center search 'blender'
cairne: ubuntu uses grub2 since 9.10 :P
xSora, pastebin the output of fdisk -l.  and use grub-update.
can manually edit the grub.conf file if you know the address of the partition of windows
dik how to paste bin i have  the Boot repair dou want me to run that ?
ik that has pastebin  report
oh yea i forgot about that utility
MestreLion: SWC has "3D modeling, animation, rendering and post-production" while pkg has "Very fast and versatile 3D modeller/renderer"
try boot repair recomended settings
okay
i did that too cairne
MestreLion: SWC headling "modeling" is a typo, at least inconsistent compared to "modelling" in the description.
xSora: sudo apt-get install os-prober && sudo os-prober && sudo update-grub
lmg: wow, you're right. Man... that is weird
MestreLion: *nods* good, now we are at least talking about the same thing. sorry for being unclear in the first place.
Idle0ne didd work :i
xSora: hopefully we can get this figured out ^^ i know how it feels when suddenly you can't get into your other os's lol been there many times
haha Thanks ^~^
xSora: what didn't work?
http://paste.ubuntu.com/1326366/ my paste bin i guess from boot repair
that cmmand u gave mee
lmg: for all I know, both the description in SW and apt-cache show comes from the package's debian/control file. The "headline" is simply the first line in the "Description:" field
lmg: if SC is not using a different source for that, i'm completely unaware of. It certainly shouldn't
MestreLion: wierd tho, that SWC does _not_ have the first line of the description but instead a different (typoed) one.
Anyone has an idea what is wrong with invoking "btrfs filesystem label /dev/mmcblk0p1 ubuntu" because it gives me "ERROR: unknown command 'filesystem'" WHAT? the man talks about filesystem command...
xSora: did it give you any errors?
no errrors
did os-prober work?
Whats that Cairne ?
xSora: so why do you think it didn't work?
mN-: well the biggest problem is if you run inherently insecure services
because the Windows  Boot didnt show in the temrinal o.o
after ir an the update
xSora, is there an :Other Operating SYstems" option?
xSora: the command I gave you didn't run update
mN-: like, a webserver on its own is probably fine but if you have a badly-written web app that might allow someone to get at stuff you don't want
gordonjcp:  ah okay
sudo apt-get install os-prober && sudo os-prober && sudo update-grub did you run those as well?
im soo confused lol  Uhmm Lord of TIme i Only have windows 7 and ubuntu installed
and run update ? >__<
MestreLion: mind moving our discussion to a query window? it's crowded already and I don't think this matter if of too much interest to others. or is it? (out for a smoke too, just msg me if its okay with you)
xSora: in terminal run the following command: sudo apt-get install os-prober && sudo os-prober && sudo update-grub
corey@CoreyHP:~$  sudo apt-get install os-prober && sudo os-prober && sudo update-grub
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
os-prober is already the newest version.

lmg: http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?suite=default&section=all&arch=any&searchon=names&keywords=blender  <-- this also matches the package's descriotion 1st line, like apt... so SC is the one doing some strange "magic" :P
xSora: copy all that and put it on paste.ubuntu.com.
tell us the url after you do
ehhh
http://paste.ubuntu.com/1326376/
lmg: actually, you've spotted a *very* interesting issue.  I truly have no idea where SC is taking that headline from... it's not from the package itself...
IdleOne, thats weird boot repair is seeing windows but not os prober, think she needs to do the advanced option repair mbr?
okay okay :I
xSora: now run: fdisk -l    - pastebin the output please
btw ima dude .-.
lol
my bad
doesn't really matter to us
No Worries ^~^
the command isnt  entering
MestreLion: indeed so. what steps do suggest I should take to further investigate (and in the end hopefully fix) this issue?
http://paste.ubuntu.com/1326393/
mobibot: weather ZBAA
lmg: the good news is: the typo you're trying to fix is the one in the package.. more precisely debian/control file. Just apt-get source blender, edit that file, and use patch/diff to create a patch file. You can then attach that patch to the bug report (or email to the maintainer)
haojie_1990, wrong channel?
 Idle0ne: it didnt work o.o http://paste.ubuntu.com/1326393/
MestreLion: understood, will do. what about the headline "magic" - as you nicely put it :) - ?
xSora: sorry it should be : sudo fdisk -l
lmg: I'm assuming you know how to compare 2 files (old and new) to create a diff / patch file...
MestreLion: I'm a blender developer. have towel - can diff ;)
Here u Go Idle0ne http://paste.ubuntu.com/1326404/
lmg: as for the headline magic, I truly have no idea... I'll investigate on that too...
lmg: oh, ok.. so you know you way around git and --format-patch just fine :P
MestreLion: thank you kindly - I'll do the diff + bugreport meanwhile
lmg: also, check to see if the typo is also in debian.. and bug report it there too
in this very case I can simply type the 1-liner by hand I guess ;)
ah, I was about to ask if this bugreports get upstreamed automagically. MestreLion
lmg: 2-liner actually :P
haha, yeah. (I was going to lazily strip the - and just do the +)
TheLordOfTime: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1326404/ I'm stuck here with getting windows in grub, can you help xSora please
lmg: no, it doesn't. But if you report in both debian (first) and then ubuntu, you can link them.. so when the debian is closed (and this patch will be applied in debian, not ubuntu), the launchpad bug will automatically be closed
xSora: is it multiple harddrives
(or, more preciselly, marked as Fix Commited
hi
ihave 3 harddrives :I 1 sata 2 pata
lemme guess, I'll have to register somewhere to report the bug?
where does ubuntu keep the equivalent of /var/log/messages?
320=Ubuntu  80Gb= Windows 7  120= Blank
lmg: launchpad and debian, sure :P
meh :P
lmg: you probably already have a launchpad account... if you ever used Ubuntu One, or bought anything in SC.. or used Ubuntu Forum, or Ask Ubuntu, etc
yeah, guess so.
hmmms :/
trying to remember how to manually add an entry into grub
okay no rush
xSora, can try rebooting after having done the boot-repair
lmg: as for Debian, but reporting is a fancy wrapper over emails, so no need to "register" per se
cairne: /etc/grub
 /etc/grub.d/40_custom  lets you add custom entries to grub
cairne: as long as you don't try to edit /boot/grub/grub.cfg :P
 /etc/grub.d rather
i did that about 6 times cairne
cairne: you may either edit /etc/grub.d/40_custom or create a new "xx_yyyy"  file yourself
lmg: http://www.debian.org/Bugs/Reporting
i coulda sworn there was an easy way to do it using just the location of the /sdc
xSora: what happens if you run "sudo os-prober"?
Wols: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1326428/
has anyone had issues with gnome-sound-recorder lately?
Cairne i have teamiewer if uw ana try a few things
cairne: you can use update-grub and copy and paste the results from /boot/grub/grub.cfg to your /etc/grub.b/40_custom file
teamview, eww :P
lol
MestreLion: it seems as tho its not recognizing the other hdd's however the pastebin from the boot-repair app does show them
can you direct os-prober to look at specific harddrive?
cairne: it doesn't even have a manpage. "simple" script I think
xSora: if you'd open your teamview for me, the fist thing i'd do is to install a proper VNC (hech, even RCP) server and remove teamview... :P
MestreLion: that's a utterly stupid idea. and twice so for you to even suggest such a thing
lol i love meh teamviewr L3
:3
:P
NEVER ever open a remote connection for ANYONE from irc, as long as you want to keep your data
i have no dta .-.
wols: I was just kidding with her
xSora: do net ever let anyone from IRC use it. ever
HIm HIm HIm !!!
Sora ,Kingdomhearts .-.
wols: besides, she offered that before to cairne
>_>
ElixirVitae: you should be still banned from here for even suggestiong it. no I am not kidding. just like no one is supposed to "kid" the rm -rf "jokes"
i Am a Man  o_o lol but srsly  ubuntu help   :o
wols: and, finally: I have little time to troubleshoot my own machine, let alone to do the same in others :P
xSora, thats enough. stop it
imSorry
xSora, type into terminal boot-repair
done
click advanced options
bazhang: she's not to blame... she has a legitmate ubuntu question about grub. she mentioned teamview as a way for someone to directly remote access and help her
MestreLion, move on
i just wanted to say im a boy, i apologize, and cairne next ?
wha?
xSora, click on the tab Grub Location, in the os to boot by default what does it list in drop down
ElixirVitae, tab mis complete earlier
and you're correct about me not being helpful to him. But don't be rude to him, all he wanted was help getting his grub to work
mistabbed much wols?
MestreLion, please. Enough.
cairne: repeat your last message, they didn't egt it.
i'll handle it in pm
cairne: k
MestreLion: what file in blender*-debian src am I looking for again?
80 gb
lmg: debian/control
say I wanted to get postgres 9.2 on ubuntu 10.04, is there a legit repo I can get that from?
this looks like something: http://www.ubuntuupdates.org/package/pitti_postgresql/lucid/main/base/postgresql-9.2 -- but ubuntuupdates.org?
lmg: that's where all info from apt-cache show comes from
oh man, what a mess :)
MestreLion: the info in 'control' is correct.
MestreLion: the info in 'menu' has Modeler tho (compared to Modeller in config)
and still no clue where the info in software center is coming from.
I'm looking to mount an https distributed file system (I'm not sure if that's what to call it).
It's documented for Win and Mac here: https://kb.iu.edu/data/bcim.html
Is this a common thing to do?
or, here's a postgres 9.2 package for lucid: https://launchpad.net/~pitti/+archive/postgresql -- but how would i install that?
lmg: you mean ./debian/menu ?
What would the "vfstype" be?
MestreLion: yeah. compare 'control' and 'menu'
Modeller vs. Modeler
let me download the source
MestreLion: only grab the small *debian* tgz
MestreLion: http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/b/blender/blender_2.62-1.debian.tar.gz

ok hi ho  alle zusammen
ive been having problems trying to get grub to understand windows 8 on my parition..i used os-prober and then grub-update but still nothing...i have windows 8 and ubuntu 12.04 both on one hard drive any idea whats going on or if windows 8 is supported on grub
thx
crankharder: you'll also need: sudo apt-get install postgresql-9.2     you may want to uninstall the older one if it will cause issues.
lmg: you said there was a typo in description... where is it?
MestreLion: Mode*l*er vs Mode*ll*er
in the debian/menu + ubuntu software center
what kind of irc chat u use ???
ActionParsnip: I was hoping for something that was more supported and came without a warning :)
lmg: but description (and, thus, apt-get and friends) is already ModeLLer
crankharder: you can always compile it yourself
MestreLion: yeah, but 'menu' and softwarecenter don't and I want to fix that.
that is - the blender foundation asked me to fix it ;)
oh, i guess postgres supports that particular ppa ;) http://www.postgresql.org/download/linux/ubuntu/
lmg: well, menu is easy...
edit, diff, submit
patch -> bugreport. *nods*
hi, my HP printer not working on 12.10 - i get error Filter failed. Anyone knows how to fix this? On 12.04 this printer worked perfectly
crankharder: if you look at who martin pitt is, you'll be fine
but the SC magic? still no idea where that headline is coming from.
Promethes: did you upgrade or did you clean install Quantal?
ActionParsnip: clean install
hi! is there a cli tool which works as proxy and changes my ip adress if i call that tool via terminal?
Promethes: tried updating HPLIP?
ActionParsnip: sudo: add-apt-repository: command not found
Guys, does any experienced Ubuntu packager knows where is Software Center taking its package "headlines" from? I always assumed it was from package's debian/control file, just like in any other tool, but lmg spotted a different headline in blender package. Any ideas?
crankharder: sudo apt-get install python-software-properties
ActionParsnip: hplip package is updated to the most recent version in official ubuntu repositories
How do I get this program? https://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/dapper/man8/mount.davfs.8.html
Promethes: did you check the HPLIP site, to see if there is a newer version?
later #ubuntu
Promethes: the repos don't always have the latest packages, in fact its quite rare
cairne: wait!
cairne: I need your help.
sup
cairne: How do I get this program? https://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/dapper/man8/mount.davfs.8.html
ActionParsnip: version on hplip website is the same version that is on ubuntu repository
Promethes: it's not. I just looked
lmat aptitude install davfs2 ?
FlashDeluxe: please don't advise aptitude
lmat apt-get install davfs2 ?
Promethes: http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/hplip/hplip-3.12.10a.run     is later than 3.12.6   isn't it?
FlashDeluxe: YAY! I tried install davfs with no hints or anything.
FlashDeluxe: davfs2 seems to be very good.
ActionParsnip: you have right, those long version numbers
Promethes: so why lie?
lmat, so you all set?
lmat: have you tried searching the Software Center for davfs ?
lmat its the tool you were looking for ;)
cairne: eh...more set than I was. I got 301 Moved Permanently, but that's a separate problem :)
MestreLion: What is the Software Center?
:O
FlashDeluxe: I think so. mount -t davfs executed this time (and asked for username and password.).
ActionParsnip sorry, i just copied the command, lazy as i am
ok im passing out now, lata #ubuntu
cairne: night!
lmat: you're using Ubuntu, correct?
MestreLion: correct-a-mundo@
FlashDeluxe: it's cool, if the OS is 64bit then apt-get can manage multiarch better, aptitude also isn't in a default install :)
MestreLion: (you?)
lmat: which version?
dunno, got it a week or so ago.
12.04
12.04.1 LTS
MestreLion: ^
lmat: you may notice there's a Ubuntu Software Center launcher  on the left side of your screen
MestreLion: Negative, captain.
ActionParsnip i guess in most cases it doesn`t make a difference if you use ap-get or a frontend, because most of the people just want to install a simple tool :)
MestreLion: Let me give you a screen shot.
lmat, FYI , @ isn't required on irc , typing the person's nick is enough for their nick highlight to work
lmat: if it's not there, you may have unpinned it from the launcher. You can find it using the dash (the "menu")
BluesKaj: (@ was a typo. I meant !)
ActionParsnip: do i need remove hplip package installed from ubuntu repos before installing manually newer version from hplip website?
lmat: are you familiar with Ubuntu or any other Linux?
Promethes: why did you say the website had the same version as the repos did, when it clearly doesn't?
MestreLion: yes,sir. Getting that screen shot, just a sec.
ActionParsnip ohh ok, didn`t know that this bug was such high critical, thanks for the info
MestreLion: http://imagebin.org/234338
MestreLion: That's my screen.
lmat: the reason I'm asking so is you said you don't know what Ubuntu Software Center is... and yet you're trying to install davfs.. so something looks wrong
MestreLion: I installed davfs.
MestreLion: (Apparently it's called davfs2 these days ;)  )
oh, Xmonad ?
ActionParsnip: because i looked too quick and did'nt read version number properly
MestreLion: What's that?
MestreLion: I'm guessing it has to do with X.  I don't use X.
lmat: nevermind... the screenshot you posted looked like xmonad
it's a tiling DE
MestreLion: Ah, nope
MestreLion: Hold ALT+CTRL and press 1
actually a tiling WM.. not a DE
MestreLion: type "sudo service lightdm stop"
MestreLion: then sudo apt-get install tmux
MestreLion: Then sudo apt-get install irssi
then
tmux && irssi   then press ctrl+b, "   and you're set :)
Promethes: it may help to remove te old first, can't hurt
MestreLion: So, the tiling part is tmux. My IRC client is irssi
MestreLion: from xmonad site, "haskell + smart programming practices guarantee a *crash-free* experience."
lmat: by the way, the url you posted for davfs is from dapper... that's 5.xx iirc
I was just running apt-get dist-upgrade and got all kinds of errors, most of which scrolled up off the screen but what I have is a bunch of like http://pastebin.com/UHAVqWx6 and as you can see at the bottom now I get "bus error" when I run apt-get,  and other commands are giving seg faults.... wtf it was running fine before i tried to upgrade packages.  Is it even safe to reboot?
MestreLion: haha! What is it in the combination of haskell and smart programmers that *guarantee* no crashes?!?
MestreLion: OOO :(
MestreLion: I was thinking dapper was a package (apt-get install dapper) ... I see now that it's an ubuntu version (dapper drake?).
lmat: when you want to search for packages, use http://packages.ubuntu.com
MestreLion: ahh, thanks!
no, dapper is an ubuntu release...
release, right.
a veeeeery old one
hi
MestreLion: What about apt-cache search ?
MestreLion: Seems much better than some elinks site.
lmat: it will search only for packages in your current release
MestreLion: ahh, thanks.
i have a problem: mouse freezes from time to time and also sometimes whole system I use amd test drivers cause in 12.10 defualt are broken (fglrx) may it be the cause?
if you're interested in "what happened to the old davfs i used in ubuntu 5 years ago", then the "elinks site" is you best shot ;)
I have to reset the computer :(
it's new and i'm worried
cause it could be hardware
greg606: there are stable drivers besides the default, you don't need to use test drivers
they are broken
greg606: all of them?
hmm irssis look nice *G*
some how
*G*
MestreLion: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fglrx-installer-updates/+bug/1069199
not sure what is the default in 12.10... in precise it's 12.4, and AMD already released 12.6, 12.8 and 12.10, all stable...
I used ati proprietary
stable yes...
;)
greg606: yes, there are some issues with 12.10 and ati proprietary for the Radeon HD 7000 series
hello, how can I change the terminal behaviour to act like putty terminal ?
MestreLion: could it be my mouse problem?
(selecting copies the selected part)
MestreLion: any news? (did someone reply to your call)
greg606: its hard to tell. Have you tested a similar setup using 12.04 ?
greg606: why not revert to the included "radeon" FLOSS driver and see if the mouse behaves properly?
greg606: you may also remove the ati proprietary and use the free source drivers, and see if the mouse still hangs
just to test if the problem is related
how to uninstall ubuntu?
greg606: what AMD GPU do you have?
MestreLion: i have uefi  + win8 - damn hard to setup, i'm happy i did. not willing to move everything .
ActionParsnip: 7950
guang_: no operating system provides and "uninstall" feature. You simply delete its partition and revert the boot loader
 vbfbv
greg606: then I suggest you report a bug
MestreLion: Ubunru via wubi does :)
free irc shell find?
ActionParsnip: I can't while using unsopported drivers
ActionParsnip: hum, true. But again, not a "real" OS :P
Angells: not in this channel.
but where?
Angells: also, not a question for this channel
MestreLion: it is, its just stored in a file on NTFS and loop mounted at boot :P
greg606: if you don't want to install 12.04 (it usually installs fine with windows and other ubuntus, specially if you already have grup installed and working), then your best test would be to remove the catalyst driver and test the free radeon ones
ActionParsnip: humm, nice. I never knew how wubi did its magic :P
MestreLion: i'll try
MestreLion: 'magic' in the loosest term :D
Wubi's magic is usually along the lines of "Watch me pull a hat out of a rabbit!"
ActionParsnip: but then, same procedure: delete it (file instead of partition) and fix boot (windows boot selection instead of mbr's grub)
ActionParsnip: I assume wubi also installs a windows software that does exactly that?
MestreLion: Ubuntu is listed as an installed app in Windows' "Add/Remove Programs" i believe
MestreLion: oh totally, you can do it manually but there is an item in 'programs and features' to do it for you
can anyone help me?  my file system seems to have switched to read-only in the middle of a package upgrade, and now any sudo command returns 'bus error', top returns IO error, uptime gives a seg fault.  What could cause this?  Can I reboot?
would be neat if wubi also has a feature of installing "for real" and dd'ed the file to a parttion, so you keep all installed programs and settings
maybe it does have it already
GunArm, when there are read/write errors, the FS swiches to read-only
can you run the disk utility?
which one?
hey, I've got problem with my ubuntu 12.10, i've just upgraded and nothing works.. Unity doesn't even show up, my mouse cursor disappears randomily, anyone can help..?
probably not if
gnome disk util
compdoc: no i'm sshed in to my headless server
click the Dash button and type in disk
morethananoise: what video chip do you use?
you have smartctl installed?
i think so
ActionParsnip: I use amd radeon hd 4200
GunArm, try: smartctl -a /dev/sda
GunArm: rebooting seems your only choice, considering you cannot run any commands. You can deal with interrupeted package  installs later
or whatever drive
morethananoise: then you'll want this: http://www.ubuntuvibes.com/2012/10/how-to-install-amd-catalyst-legacy.html
compdoc: yeah i have to sudo it and it gives a bus error
GunArm, use sudo fdisk -l    to list the drives
if you dont use sata, is wont be sda
hello folks! how can I run Windows inside Linux? I can't remember the name of the progra... thanks!
anything with sudo gives a buss error
if its raid, it wont work anyway
velho: I'm very fond of VirtualBox
i guess I'll have to reboot, but unfortunatly, I cant reboot over ssh if I cant do sudo, so I have to wait until my girlfriend wakes up at home and have her yank the plug out of the wall
if I cant sudo I dont see any better way to reboot
GunArm: are you able to open other ssh sessions?
GunArm: why cantcha sudo?
After receive this message in syslog : Nov  2 18:09:17 SkyNet kernel: [  161.001911] ehci_hcd 0000:00:1d.0: PCI INT A disabled
MestreLion: ill trye
My mouse disabled !
How can fix this problem ?
Nach0z: some kind of file system error on my root mount
GunArm: you can always boot to root recovery mode and reinstall sudo there, may help
GunArm: oh. you tried rebooting into the recovery prompt?
MestreLion, thanks ;)
mah454, new system? old system? it worked before?
mah454: usb mouse or touchpad?
guys, he's ussing ssh, so no sudo = no reboot
MestreLion: gah
ActionParsnip: well sudo itself works (by itself it gives command options), but I think its more to do with being locked out of sbin or something
GunArm: try to open another connection, just to see if the machine is dead
GunArm: you tried manually specifying command paths?
ActionParsnip: I use laptop , I connect mouse to system and after some second mouse disabled (Laptop Dell Vostro 3350)
s/command/executable
interestingly no I can't log into a new ssh, possibly because there is that script at login that checks how many packages there are to upgrade which is crashing
MestreLion, do you know VMWare?
velho: yes, but there is no native VMWare server in ubuntu repo
MestreLion: fwiw I can navigate around my filesystem on this connection I had open, the machine isn't totally dead, just kinda useless heh
GunArm: non-sudo commands work fine?
MestreLion, thanks! I was actually trying to find it there :D
compdoc: ActionParsnip : please view this paste : http://dpaste.com/hold/822966/
velho: install VirtualBox... it works great, and has a very nice GUI
Those VMWare instructions are out of date... VMWare player lets you create your own virtual machines now, not just use existing ones
mah454: does the touchpad work ok?
MestreLion: yes, I can do "apt-get moo", but not "sudo apt-get moo"
ActionParsnip: yes work
Touhou11: you can edit it, its a wiki
GunArm: I mean commands that don't require sude :P
ActionParsnip: It requires a user account, you can't edit anonymously for some reason
mah454: how about if you unplug the mouse, wait a few seconds then shove it back in?
velho: do you specifically need VMWare ?
Touhou11: well yeah, that's how wikis work
Wikipedia lets you edit anonymously
MestreLion: well some of them, i can cd around, and cat files, but "top" gives "-bash: /usr/bin/top: Input/output error"
ActionParsnip, dude sence I got my apt-get update working with your help, it no longer see's any new updates at all??
Touhou11: then make an account, or report a bug
GunArm: can you write files?
ActionParsnip: mouse work ... but after some second disabled !
mah454: tried a different usb mouse?
ActionParsnip: yes
what is ehci_hcd  ?
mah454: are you using a USB3 port?
mah454: driver for the USB ports, basically
ActionParsnip: yes
How can fix this problem ?
mah454: tried a USB2 port, you do realize that a mouse sends very little data
But ubuntu 12.04 have not this problem ! (I use ubuntu 12.10)
mah454: its worth exploring though...don't you think
MestreLion: it seems like no, not even in ~ (which is the same partition), and some subfolders of ~ i cant even ls in
mah454: what do you hope to gain by using USB3 for mouse exactly?
ActionParsnip, any thoughts about how to get my host to see the updates sence Oct 17th?
rl
hello
donofrio: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade
MestreLion: it seems like I dont have any options other than cutting power to the machine, which is just scary because I have a 10 TB raid array running on it
although the raid array is still up and running (I can read and write to it) just not the / device
GunArm: i'd wait for someone with console access to check it out
hello
just seen a youtube vid. Mouse transmits 0.01Mbps to the system. What a waste
ActionParsnip, yah "0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded."
donofrio: sounds good
how can I see how much space is in my disc, inside ubuntu? thank you
I thought a bunch of updates have come out, at least 30??
velho: df -h
is there a webpage that shows if your laptop can run ubuntu from USB
?
GunArm: worst-case scenario, one could do a SysReq to nicely close all programs and shut it down
donofrio: did the repos get 'hit' or were they 'ign'?
hi! anybody knows if Gnome Classic is still available in Ubuntu 12.10 ? thanls
tlopez: check in the BIOS
Parufito: install gnome-panel and log of, choose the new available session
ActionParsnip, Most "Hit" a bunch "ING"
velho: open your home folder... you can also right-click "computer" for its properties
ActionParsnip, thanks! any GUI?
donofrio: I can suggest you run this: wget https://dl.dropbox.com/u/8850924/fixpackage; chmod +x ./fixpackage; sudo ./fixpackage
I tried to install Ubuntu on my new laptop month ago , the laptop is new and expensive so maybe the drivers for linux have not come out yet for the hardware
cant upgrade ubuntu 12.04 to 12.10. any help
MestreLion: but even if I was to give someone root access to my server they couldnt ssh in.  interesting I never knew about this sys req thing
velho: there is disk analyser in dash if memory serves. You already know the space though....
ubuntu upgrade take forever to download
thanks ActionParsnip. I have it in 12.04, but i was afraid that canonical decided to delete it from the repos. Thanks!
abangmanja: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MaverickUpgrades     use the Network Upgrade for Ubuntu Servers (Recommended) method
ActionParsnip, cool! way simpler :) thanks
im using main server is that what  you mean
Parufito: You can always change desktop, there are 3rd party (unsupported) forks of gnome2
velho: even simpler: open your home folder (Nautilus) and go View-> Statusbar. That will always show the free space of your current drive
abangmanja: it shows how to upgrade from LTS to non-LTS  in CLI
yes, but i preffer the gnome classic from ubuntu that is based in gnome3 but mantaining the simple gnome2 look :D
i've tried some other without good feeling
Parufito: if you install gnome-panel, you wil be using gnome3
Parufito: just with a different shell....gnome-shell
hi ive got a problem on ubuntu my wifi internet conection is very slow unlike on my windows seven is there a way to fix this??any clue to help me?
Parufito: Cinnamon or MATE may be an option for you
laumonier: what wifi chip do you use?
heh my mind has just gone blank and i have forgot what i was going to ask lol
i've tried all and what worked better for me was the Gnome Classic in ubuntu 12.04... but i don'
* rainbowwarrior2 hugs Ubuntu 12.10 :o)
ActionParsnip thanks
the only problem was if caninical decided to delete it in 12.10, but if you say that not, i'll keep it :D
Parufito: you could use XFCE, its got the Gnome2 smell
im happy with LTS 12.04
abangmanja: +1. 5 years of support is a bliss :)
i use xfce in my laptop :D is nice, but for my workstation i preffer the "gnome" stuff
blessing*
im trying to upgrade twice but fail now im stick to LTS
Parufito: XFCE is made using GTK
when my wifi is slow I open a online radio as it seems to help boost the signal quality - adsl+2 .... just my 2 cents
is it possible to use mutter with Ubuntu 12.04 + Unity?
MestreLion, awesome! :)
lmg: still there?
ActionParsnip, ok finshed and no new packages - so I should be uptodate or is it broken?? just want to be secure cause I cannot have this desktop get exploited
lmg: I've found it! Looks like USC also uses data from "Ubuntu App Directory", which is an online catalog with complementary package information

Hi all
ActionParsnip, always welcome an honest answer any day of the week ----- thanks for the tips you've been a awesome help, I'll rtry the dirretnt host

I am using ubuntu server 12.10 - seeing loads of issues doing apt-get --- getting 403 forbidden.... I am able to wget without problems, (I am behind a smoothwall )
I just booted into KUbuntu 12.10 off of my 8GB flash drive. Man, this this is slower than hell off a flash drive. Its USB 2.0. Im not so sure they should even encourage people to try the OS this way. It would probably drive people away. Unless  I am doing something wrong but I dont know what it could be.
I am new to Ubuntu... tried many things found from google... nothing worked.... :(
MestreLion: thank you - will check later - baby awake.
kubuntu? isn't that like a fat version of unity?
donofrio: I try :D
Srini: can you ping the server?
i think so, i really didnt read the details, its supposed to be a more graphically enhanced version of the vanilla Ubuntu, so i said, yeah let me try that
it uses the kde desktop if im not wrong
just usable for fast computers with good graphics cards really
hello guys, a problem with irqs can do the mouse slow after resume?
not recommended on a usb stick lol
or irq problems freeze all the pc?
Is the hard drive performance penalty in a Wubi install significant?
sounds right, Im not gonnna be able to form any opinions until I re-burn the ISO to a CD and just boot from that, running off USB is not worth it. My computer is good enough, got an i3-2105, just can't belileve the slow speed off usb
Hey guys,  i have a question regarding my webform. it cant connect to my serverside phpscript named connect.php. there is an syntax error on line 30. can anybody look at it? : http://pastebin.com/n6Ni1MEp

Hello. Did someone get spice-xpi addon working under firefox?
TheJelly: it will be directly affected by fragmentation in NTFS
if you want a good usb linux system you should look into something like puppy linux
JimmyJohnny, do you have a cdrom drive , the live cd is quite fast ..but i've never tried kubuntu on a usb stick
I've found a ppa, and added but can't seem to get it working. Any idea?
_val_: could try contacting the PPA maintainer
hello ActionParsnip
JimmyJohnny, the live media versions are always slower then the real installed OS anyway
if you want a ubuntu version try lubuntu or xubuntu, they are the least memory/cpu consuming ones
for ubs that is
is this the right channel for my question? perhaps i need to be in php
_val_: did you read http://www.spice-space.org/docs/spice_user_manual.pdf
got a laptop with a core duo 1.86 CPU and 4GB RAM and KDE and GNOME.  Gnome seems to run fine but when in KDE, the cpu utilization goes up and everything lags horribly.  Top shows CPU going up to 100% for kwin
hey , do you can invite me to #ubuntu-support?
ActionParsnip: yes reading now.. seem I've to get the sources.
Allright thanks. Going to compile it
skypce: get identified and you can walk in
skypce: I'm not allowed either, I'd ask in #freenode
ActionParsnip,  * Cannot join #ubuntu-support (Channel is invite only).
lmg: and it makes perfect sense to extract the "highlight" from there too: the description in the package is always in english, while the .desktop file info can contain several languages. So USC can show a package description in the user's own language
JuJuBee: what GPU do you use?
JuJuBee: are there any bugs reported?
lmg: if there is no .desktop file, or if the desktop contains no "Comment" field, then USC uses the 1st line of the "Description" field on package's debian/control file :D
hello all
ActionParsnip, ok this one is weird - I cannot change servers, I can test for best but the software sources screen just says on "main server"
whats the best way to have a script run every 30 seconds or so, but not have multiple instances going at a time ??
ActionParsnip: GPU : Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 950
x__: cron and the first thing the script does is creating a lock file and checking it
ActionParsnip: the laptop is actually one of my students'
x__: and before it ends, releases the lock of course
I just updated from precise to quantal, my video driver are totally screwed up, when I try to reinstall nvidia drivers the process hangs at update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-3.5.0-18-generic and stays there for hours... can someone help me please?
donofrio: edit /etc/apt/sources.list     and change 'archive.ubuntu.com' to 'gb.archive.ubuntu.com'
I've tried booting UBuntu off the CD in the past and it worked a hell of a lot faster than bootinng off a USB stick.
wols, yea I don't know how to bash script ;-P its an archive extracting python script someone else wrote that I am using manually atm.
JuJuBee: are there any bugs reported with KDE and the Intel 950 GPU?
x__: you can do it in python too...
ActionParsnip: looking now
wols, well I don't know python, not a programmer :-P
x__: if you have a desktop UI, you can use gnome-schedule
ActionParsnip, nah its command line
ActionParsnip: it's not the cron thing that is the problem :)
wols, this is the script https://bitbucket.org/markstahler/auto-extract-python/src/7ba39f76ebc50e11739300e5fde062312a1732f1/auto-extract.py?at=default
wols: i see
the script creates an .unrared file in the dir to state its already done its business and not to do it again, so maybe I can just add a cron job and it will work fine already ?
brilliant find MestreLion. thank you, I'll take it from here :)
:D

hi
wols, rem I did not ask to ask a question
Hey all, I have an 8GB flash drive I want to use but the last thing I did with it was restore an OS X install disk to it before I sold my MacBook. I tried opening Gparted and I got a message saying "The driver descriptor says the physical block size is 2048 bytes, but Linux says it is 512 bytes." My options are cancel and ignore, If I hit ignore then Gparted crashes.
wols, so do I just paste that code in to the beginning of the script... ?
wols, sorry experienced linux user, very very novice coder ;-P
Dshoe you should install a bootable image of Ubuntu on a flash drive by itself, thats probably the safest thing to do
JimmyJohnny, and run gparted from there I'm assuming?
Hello.
Dshoe i am not familiar with gparted, just saying if you want to try Ubuntu from a flash drive maybe its best to format the flash drive FAT32 as one partition, install the Linux image and run from there
JimmyJohnny, your misinterpreting my issue. I need to format this flash drive and can't.
Gparted (common tool) gives me an error and then crashes before creating a new partition table.
Dshoe oh, not sure on that, I just did mine using Windows 7 with a right-click and then "Format"
Can I test with a command if my other PC in the network is online? (Sorry, I'm not so good in English ;-)
My issue is that this is formatted to an OS X partition table because the last thing I did with it was install a fresh OS X before shipping out my laptop.
hello, is there a PAE patch for 32 bit ubuntu to make use of my 16 GB ram on 32 bit machine?
Dshoe, maybe there is a utility like "diskwipe" or something to simply zero out the drive, im a windows users for the most part, but windows 8 has me looking at taking a more serious look at linux
thanks a lot
Linkandzelda: If you're using 12.10, pae is enabled by default
even better than

I'm having a problem with uwsgi on ubuntu 12.04, when I use "service uwsgi reload" it reloads the first time, but not after that, it appears to be because the process name changes from uwsgi to uwsgi-core after the first reload. I'm not sure if there is a good place for me to report this bug?
Linkandzelda: The details are in the link from ubottu anyway
Can I test with a command if my other PC in the network is online? (Nice when I use SSH)
NikP, what are you trying to test ?
hello
x__: What do you mean?
I have an external hard drive with bad sectors.. my guess that its only the beginning of the disk.. how can I scan for bad sectors and then format the disk away from the bad sectors?
NikP, your question made no sense to me, what are you trying to test through SSH ?
easy, how many bad sectors ? and you can use the gnome disk tool.
x__: I would use it for remote maintenance
easy, most drives will flag sectors that are bad to not be used, and they have a few extra ones to replace them, I have a 1TB HD that has 1 bad sector that came out of an external drive and has been fine and in usre for several years since then.
NikP, ok, I still don't know what that means, just login via SSH and run whatever commands you want to use.
Hey. Can I use grep to select every file in a directy, except subdirectories and files ending with ".mkv"?
x__: Yes, that's it.
sevenforall: you could use grep, but you wouldn't.  You probably want to use find
jrib: How do I use find in a way it excludes .mkv files?
sevenforall: find has -not and -name.  I'd start there
jrib: I can't find anything about the -not option
Hi again. Trying to compile spice-xpi addon for firefox on precise. I'm getting this error: No package 'libxul-embedding' found
anyone any idea. Can't find libxul anywhere.. no sources, no ppa's nothing.
sevenforall: man find<Enter>/-not<Enter>      (where <Enter> means press your Enter key)
hi
sevenforall: you can also use "!", but I figured -not would be more self-explanatory :P
sevenforall: brb
How do I open executable file as sudo? If I type sudo ./my_executable it wont work..
krofna: that's how.  So be more specific about how it "wont work"
When i'm trying to install ubuntu from USB it's write what can't mount CD
What to do?
jrib: sudo: ./mapextractor: command not found
krofna: chmod +x ./my_executable  if this is a script.
jrib: I've skimmed through it and googled, are you sure there's a -not? :P
err.  chmod +x my_executable
sevenforall: yes... are you on ubuntu?  Why are you skimming and googling, just use the keystrokes I said above
JMS32: did you MD5 test the ISO you downloaded?
_val_: that doesnt seem to do anything
jrib: The manual doesn't add any useful information, hehe
_val_: what you said would work too :)
sevenforall: there are some examples that use !, if you want to search for that. What do you have doubts about?
jrib: ./my_executable is not a valid filename I guess.
I mean passing it as a parameter to chmod
It is. And no, its not a script, its compiled executable..
_val_: you provide a path to chmod, ./my_executable is fine
jrib: I'm using "find -not *.mkv" which doesn't get me anything but a usage error
ActionParsnip, yes. 4bd3270bde86d7e4e017e3847a4af485 All is ok
krofna: if you run:  ls  do you see the file?
sevenforall: you want a -name in there
Yes
sevenforall: you also want to probably enclose '*.mkv' in quotes
JMS32: installing server?
jrib: Okay, a bit further now
Thanks
krofna: it's probably something that tries to run inside the file that it can't find
the thing to rember is the 'shell' is the one expanding wild cards.. unless they are quoted and passed to the command.  sevenforall .
sevenforall:  like    echo *    vs   echo '*'
ActionParsnip, yes
JMS32: it doesn't have a desktop UI you know, is that what you desire? It's all CLI based.....
ActionParsnip, I'm know what i'm doing, thanks
Hello
jrib: Can I get find to ignore hidden files also? (a)
JMS32: just checking, loads of people install server wanting a desktop system. Calm down
JMS32: let me search some
JMS32: if you knew what you were doing, you wouldnt be here
I'm trying to mount ntfs partition with mount.ntfs-3g cmd like this

but after mounting /mnt/windows is owned but user with uid 1000
so anyone any answer about my question?
Anyone here using Ubuntu-Gnome 12.10?  I'm a bit confused about GOA vs. UOA.
JMS32: http://askubuntu.com/questions/127398/usb-drive-install-of-ubuntu-12-04-server-fails-cant-find-components-from-cd-r
anyone any idea. Can't find libxul anywhere.. no sources, no ppa's nothing.
savid: https://debarshiray.wordpress.com/2012/10/06/goa-why-it-is-the-way-it-is/
ActionParsnip: I am compiling a source which requires this lib.
_val_: seems to be in the app already, have you ran:  sudo updatedb; locate libxul
ActionParsnip: done.
/usr/lib/firefox/libxul.so
/usr/lib/thunderbird/libxul.so
wonder if its part of the firefox source
But the source code does not find it.
_val_: you may need to symlink those back to /usr/lib    to make it be found
sudo apt-get build-deps firefox   should pull in needed dev packages that may have it included.
but that seems overkll
http://pastie.org/5172451
sevenforall: sure. just use a similar expression that matches for names that start with a '.'.  And look into -and
this is the error when compiling
_val_: link is broke for me
ahh its ok now
messing for 3 hours now. Can't seem to find anything that works.
hi all! Since some days, my indicator-messages is broken in ubuntu 12.10. Well, it was working fine after I upgraded, and now it swithches colour when I get a notification. But when I open it, there are all the rows (one for each status state, unity-mail one, facebook one...), but with blank text: there is nothing, just empty rows. Even, if I get a message, it changes colour and in the message line, it appears the minutes have passed since I got the messa
ge, but no text (then, I kind of guess what arrived depending on the row). This happened a week after I tried to configure the colour changing indicator depending of the status. Nothing in google. Someone knows what can be happening? Thanks!
anyway. Got to go now. I'll check another time.  Thanks ActionParsnip .
hi
any nvidia gpu masters in here who can help me with this problem??? You do not appear to be using the NVIDIA X driver.  Please edit your X configuration file (just run `nvidia-xconfig` as root), and restart the X server.

Hello. Do you know what's wrong with xorg-video-abi-12 on 12.10? Neither -12 or -11 has an installation candidate
i noticed that the hibernation in 12.04 is disabled by default. and earlier my system booted instead of unhibernating.
sasori, paste your xorg.conf
sasori:  normal routine for me is install the os, 'sudo apt-get install nvidia-current' (reboot) then run nvidia-settings.
is that why it's disabled by default?
dr_willis: thats exactly what i did to lead me to this problem
unfortunately
i then tty out, and stoped ldm, or whatever its called and tried nvidia setting again, no avbail
Aleksander: not tooo good with that, where can i find that??
i dont even need an xorg.conf for my nvidia ssytem on 12.10
sasori, gksu gedit /etc/xorg.conf
TomyLobo: as far as I know, if your setup doesn't support it then it will be disabled
Aleksander: not /etc/X11/xorg.conf
ActionParsnip, ow right
my bad, sorry
Aleksander: ;)
sasori, it's /etc/X11/xorg.conf
ActionParsnip, i can't find suitable answer in that link..
I have switchable graphics cards (intel/amd) and have tried installing drivers for them.  when I try to install via additional drivers, i can no longer use any DE besides gnome 2.  everything automatically falls back to it.  installing from the amd website completely breaks the X server.  does anyone have a solution for using gnome 3 with the appropriate graphics driver?  alternatively, I dont particularly do anything in linux that necessitat
es the amd card, so the intel chip would be sufficient, but the fan seems to run needlessly and I figured that was a driver issue.  would it be better just to use a temp monitor/fan speed control
Aleksander: thanks for the files dir, where should i paste?

Hello all. Is there a way that I can pause and ftp download and close the connection that will enable me to come back to the ftp site later and resume the download with out corruption?

Aleksander: I will have to check if godaddy allows that
Aleksander: i just switched to kubuntu 12.10... i couldnt do ubuntu unity anymore... i tried... but i cant.
sasori: I went to gnome3 and it was good
sasori, I know that feeling, I just switched to Unity Ubuntu from GNOME Arch
sasori, what's your normal resolution?
<ActionParsnip> TomyLobo: as far as I know, if your setup doesn't support [hibernate] then it will be disabled
sasori, try "xrandr -s 1280x1024" or whatever your max res is
Aleksander: yah.... the closest i got was accepting mint with cinnamon, which was nice, but eventually, had to change b/c of hang issues
i'm on a brand new laptop. the hardware shouldnt be a problem
Aleksander: yah but that wont allow me to chenge the actual nvidia controls, which is the problem
actually 'brand new' as in just released to the market - can be a bigger problem with drivers...
Aleksander: basically i need that so i can turn laptop montior offi, shut lid, and use external monitor
sasori, so the problem is that nvidia-xconfig tells you you're not using nvidia kernel module?
sasori, run 'lsmod | grep nvidia'
sasori, brb
Hi. having some trouble with apt-get. the result of apt-get upgrade is here: http://pastebin.com/tAgJcRSR . Can you please help?
Aleksander: as soon as i open server settings it says i need to run a command as sudo, forget what it is and cant get it, cause it crashed and need to log out.  lol.  anyways, the command you gave me to run outputs this : nvidia              11257759  0
sasori, sudo runs command as a root
I am  trying to install bitcoin qt and this error came up after I installed the PPA and changed the source to mavrrick

it needs your user passwrod
heya

just loaded 12.10 on a Dell 820 laptop where 12.04 was working just fine. now UI is really slow. is the slowness all determined by Unity and Dash. Will it get faster if I switch to a different windows manager such as Xmonad or Unity 2d ?
will editing /boot/grub/grub.cfg will do thing?
duri, i would back to 12.04 lts for stability
but how could i comment multi line

Hi All... I am running 10.04.4LTS... if I do a dist-upgrade w/ LTS is that going to upgrade me to 12.04.1LTS or 12.10?
a lot of users have this problem
juggie, I think it will bring you to 12.04
Juggie: dist-upgrade will NOT upgrade your ubuntu version
blazemore u are live?
Juggie: but the normal upgrade process when you want to upgrade the ubuntu version will bring you to 12.04
iceroot, i add GRUB_DISABLE_OS_PROBER=true to /etc/default/grub
iceroot, juggie, but remember backing up your files, the jump from 10.04 to 12.04 is big so the risk of breakage is higher
iceroot, oh I was under the impression it would my mistake.
ah right,  I see now.. 'do-release-upgrade' it mentions it when I og into shell.

Hello everybody! Does any one know how to user gtk.textbuffer.serializate function??? I've been searching the web for this about a day now, still have no clue
awaad: that can only be handled by your browser/pdf reader imho.
gtk.textbuffer serialization*
awaad:  seen auto copy to clipbord extensions for browsers. your app could monitor the clipbord i guess.. but that seems like it could grab info/words from anything.
or at least someone maybe knows how to specify mime-type in gtk.textbuffer.serialize ?
i know it has to call Gdk.Atom. But other than that i cannot figure out
 wow there are 1700 people here
n00b982:  its a slow day

n00b982:  seen 3000+ here on release day
wow dr_willis
i7c, dr_willis: There is another application called "KTranslator". Introduction on its site says the following:
i7c, dr_willis: The main idea behind KTranslator is to translate a word without disturb the application in use. So, when the user selects a word while pressing CTRL key, KTranslator will try to translate the word and show the result in a popup window. It behaves like Babylon for Windows.

tomy222, You are missing part of grub see this link for using the bootrepair tool on purging and reloading grub, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2/Installing#Purging_.26_Reinstalling_GRUB_2
Question, when I do apt-get update I get an error from one of the repositories, I'm guessing it's where I initially attempted to install skype from the software center before downloading it from their site.  What effect would disabling this repository have?
W: Failed to fetch http://archive.canonical.com/commercial-ppa-uploaders/skype/ubuntu/dists/quantal/main/binary-i386/Packages  404  Not Found [IP: 91.189.92.191 80]
tomy222, You need the grub bootloader in sda that is the HD mbr, it has windows there now, I assume the bootrepair loads it.  You can chroot to the ubuntu install and do all of this from a command line as well.
wilee-nilee: yes I have already done but without sucess
tomy222, Done what?
Hello all. Does anyone know where I can find the repository URL's for 11.04 so that I can copy and paste them into /etc/apt/sources.list?
Gerowen: no effect
tomy222: you need to (re)install grub
wilee-nilee: I have tried to reinstall grub from ChRoot enviroment
tomy222, using a 12.10 cd?
lloowen: http://repogen.simplylinux.ch/
wilee-nilee: yes
wilee-nilee: yes from usb kez
wilee-nilee: yes live key
overclucker: Thanks but that does no longer have 11.04
tomy222, did you run apt-get purge grub-pc grub common apt-get install grub-pc grub-common
tomy222, basically as one line it can be run as apt-get purge grub-pc grub common && apt-get install grub-pc grub-common
tomy222, THen when asked where to put grub it would be sda
Hi there.. I'm setting up serial console access for ubuntu 12.10.. I refer to the documentation (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SerialConsoleHowto), but /etc/event.d/ttyS0 doesn't seem anymore the right place for the upstart script. I think the right place now is /etc/init.d/, do I need to change anything regarding the script itself? Thanks!
lloowen, http://old-releases.ubuntu.com
juril: /etc/init/ for upstart scripts now
Hi! I did a fresh ubuntu install on my comp but for some weird reason, my grub is over-written as soon as I restart my comp. Any clue what might be the problem?
hello are there are nice people some can help me to open port 80 on my router
we can use teamwiewer to remote..
juril: see the karmic and newer section of that wiki page
I'm on windows right now btw. can go to ubuntu via live-usd if needed
anyone know how i uninstall a script
trism, /etc/init is full of .conf files.. I put my ttyS0.conf there.. just this?
juril: yes
trism, cool! thanks :)
i got a dnsproxy. script so i could enable wildcards in my hosts file
HI guys!

I want to intall ubuntu 12.04 from removable disk
for that which setup I need .iso or what?
lista
rephy222:  how did you install it?
rephy222: how did you insta
heh
it was a python script
cool_boy:  you can put the iso in a 'live' setup on excternal media you then boot/install from
rephy222:  thats telling us very little.
cool_boy: yeah u need an iso and i would use unetbootin to install it on a thumb drive
cool_boy:  12.10 only has the desktop or server iso's :) if you want a desktop install iuse the desktop...
pendrivelinux has alternatives to unetbootin as well to make a bootable external install usb.
lloowen: it looks like natty is still in http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/ so, as long as you use the official repos, you can replace the dist with natty and it should work
hm, Boot the ubuntu live cd get this app and just run the bootinfo summary and post the url to it. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair
hello are there are nice people some can help me to open port 80 on my router, we can use teamwiewer to remote.

python dnsproxy.py -s 8.8.8.8
Does anyone know if there is a CUPS alternative for 12.04.  Cups (1.5) crashes whenever a printer is added, whenever a Mac prints a postscript job and if three people submit a job at the same time.
hi guys, im having real trouble still installing on a mac mini 2011. I cant boot the installer either via cd or usb, and i cant even boot into Plop bootloader. what else can i do? rEFIt is installed and ive followed the wiki guide. thanks in advance
dr_willis i have tryed, but i think i missing little think.
rephy222:  if all it edited was your hosts file. then check that file and undoo its changes.. or check the scripts docs and see if it has a undo feature
i got the link to the site
already tried that
the script did some other changes

wilee-nilee: ok I have tried again. Now I have the problem to fetch the server
lloowen: you should probably upgrade, natty is at end of life as of last week.

having an issue with chmod, i have three users on my system. two are in the same group. the two that are in the same group i want to share a file with the other user, so in termal i typed in chmod 750 for the file and folder and when i am on the other account i can not access that file
wouldn't 777 work?
777  is owner group world
wilee-nilee: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1327102/
i do not want other non group users able to open file and folder
so change the permissions
thats what i am trying to do
try 755
i do not want the other user that is in a different group able to open the file or folder thats why i set it to 0
first number is root second is non root and third is any other
do     chmod 755 filename
tomy222, Is the computer on the net?
so instead of chmod do chown?
wilee-nilee: yes
tomy222, Can you hard plug it ti the router?
to*
hi
onewithhammer: make sure that the folder is owned by the shared group
Hello
your mode is ok
hi
the folder is in the user1 home folder
onewithhammer: the home folder above is not accessible by the group so the inherited rights won't work
any ideas dr_willis:
wilee-nilee: Yes I could do, but then I lose the connection to the chat
onewithhammer, the home folder above your shared folder must be 777... that would be bad
this is what i typed in termal" chomd 750 /home/user1/work_file
this is what i typed in termal" chomd 750 /home/user1/work_file/work-sheet
dont think 0 is valid
http://i.stack.imgur.com/72SyK.png - any ideas?
what do u want the permissions to be onewithhammer
salve
user3 read and execute
and the world nothing
tomy222, Is the usb you are on hitting the net?
so its 755
i'm running ubuntu 12.04 and i want 12.10. is there a way to do a clean install without a cd rom or usb stick? i have the iso downloaded on the computer
but other users will be able to access the file if i do 755?
rsumi, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1549847
wilee-nilee: No
tomy222, Hard plug the computer then try the grub install, I assume you have purged it.
tomy222, You can restart a chat I have to go anyway to vote, I'm in the US.
wilee-nilee: Ok I can try but I m definitly connected to the internet
wilee-nilee: I can ping google
i can ping google too
kev^: wow
tomy222, Cool, I am not real experienced here other then to know the commands, it looks like maybe the repo it is calling is incorrect, I don't really know how to fix that from a chroot.
wilee-nilee: ok thanks

SO Jetty 8 on Ubnuntu Server
What am I missing here?
sudo apt-get install jetty8 ought to do it correct?
when i apt-get purge mysql-server it does not remove all the databases and such, how do i do this?
ubottu: !find jetty8
svm_invictvs: maybe just jetty?
i want to clean everything out
gordonjcp: That's Jetty 6
svm_invictvs: maybe jetty 8 isn't packaged
svm_invictvs: what is it, anyway?
svm_invictvs: http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=jetty&searchon=names&suite=precise&section=all
http://packages.ubuntu.com/quantal/java/jetty8
gordonjcp: That link I pasted would lead me to believe it is
svm_invictvs: which server do you got?
k1l_: sec
svm_invictvs: <shrug> I didn't see it
if its not 12.10 it doesnt have the jetty 8.xxx
k1l_: Welcome to Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS
Ah..
svm_invictvs: then there is only jetty 6 like you can see in my link above
k1l_: mint is using ubuntu
k1l_: mint channel dead
so either you consider an upgrade to 12.10 (which is not lts, and i wouldnt recommend) or you find a ppa for that
livingdaylight: mint (and mate) aren't supported here, but give the instructions on that link a go and see what happens
WOO it worked
HI all
What is happening with init...
how do you set an interface back to dhcp from command line
nothing is working in 12.04 like it did in 11
set it??? you mean so if you reboot it gets dhcp?
livingdaylight: the mint channel is on antother irc network. see the message. and mint and mate are not supported here. ask the mint guys they should know whats up
am i connected?
I installed sysv-rc and aptitude says it's there....but there is no executable
whats the best program to shut down my kids computer from mine?
So frustrating
wilee-nilee: i followed the instructions to boot from an iso but grub is not prompting me to select where to boot when the computer starts. it just has the computer splash screen
suggestions?
k1l_: Why not just upgrade?
And why is /etc/network/interfaces not being looked at anymore....
svm_invictvs: most server admins prefer the stable and long term support releaases
almost makes me wnat to go back to Gentoo....
because my system is all messed up from performing upgrades. gnome and xfce are unstable
Hammerhead2010: it is. but if there is nothing edited in it the NetworkManager does the work
Hello
hello, install doom3 but only opens with 32bit colors and I have 16 bit, is there a command to run with 32bit colors without having to configure the xorg.conf?
did someone noticed Xorg cpu spikes when using gnome-terminal .
?
Hammerhead2010: for most user its way easier to let the interfaces alone and configure the network through the NM. but you can use the interfaces if you want. just go ahead
<k1l_>Thats the part that's killing me...there is I have 2 interface manually configured...yet the routes(static) i have in it do not get looked at... This was not a problem in 11
hello, install doom3 but only opens with 32bit colors and I have 16 bit, is there a command to run with 32bit colors without having to configure the xorg.conf? please help
hi
k1l_: Honestly, fuck it, i'll just manually install Jetty 8
One quick question; my 2GHz CPU was shown as 800MHz with lscpu, then with Granola I "overclocked" it to 2000MHz (which is what it should be), is it normal?
no, it's not. you're a phrik
freak
hello, install doom3 but only opens with 32bit colors and I have 16 bit, is there a command to run with 32bit colors without having to configure the xorg.conf? please help
k1l_: thanks
some intelligent answer? :P
who the fuck cares about guidelines?
can some op please kick the obviuos troll?
unrar: You were mislead by the default power management...
Yay ;D
All I want is the /etc/network/interfaces to be looked at the GUI NM is crap. I tried to disable the network manager with sysv-rc or bum...but sysv-rc apt-get install does not produce a binary....
In other distros such as... Mint, I think, it didn't happen
unrar: Then Mint has no reasonable power management.
another thing, if I have installed a NVIDIA driver, why does the CPU activity increases from 8% to 50% when I put the mouse over the launcher?
Hammerhead2010, just declare your interface normally in interfaces(5) and nm won't touch it
which version of java should i use for  my brwoser and application..?? jdk7 or jre7 ?
Guest38790: As long as you dont want to develop Java applications, you'll be fine with the JRE.
are there any good tools for ext filesystem integration with windows explorer? I know its kind of off topic, but i figured people in here are more likely to know than #windows
bekks : i dont want to develop application
Hammerhead2010: im not too much into the network stuff to know what you fiddled there already. but from a clean install: if you configure an interface the NM doesnt touch it.
are there any good tools for ext filesystem integration with windows explorer? I know its kind of off topic, but i figured people in here are more likely to know than #windows
ugh, sorry, missclick
MrBushido: No.
Anyone know of a quick way I can find out if my shell is sitting inside a screen session? Sometimes I forget :/
Benxyzzy: press ctrl-a-d
bekks: You're saying, if I'm not in a screen it'll do nothing?
Benxyzzy: Correct.
Sorry for the obvious question
which version java should i install openjdk-jre or openjdk-jdk?
is there a way to download all packages for offline purpose?
like DVDs
Leoneof: All packages would need about 80GB.
bekks: i guess it's almost ~40 Gb
say i run a script that makes some changes is there some sort of log to read to find out whats been done
Leoneof: Still far too much to put on a DVD.
which is the fastest cd/dvd burner?
bekks: separating them? :/
rsumi, I have never booted with a ISO from grub so I can't really help there, but if you make a thread on the UF right now with booting ISO from grub problem I suspect you will get a quick answer.

will any touchscreen laptops work with ubuntu? thanks!
wilee-nilee: /etc/resolv.conf was not setup in ChRoot env
hi is there a way for me to use 2 different workspaces on 2 monitors?
chipotle, yeah, they will.
so that each monitor uses a different workspace
nb-ben, that would be cool, but i dont think that you can.
tomy222, I had wondered if the chroot was good.
brandon420 what drivers do you need to get the touchscreen capability?
i can't find anything online...
yeah I don't think so aswell so I figured I'd ask
i have been using dual monitors for awhile and never seen a option like that.
maybe someone found a way :D
I think you could run 2 different X clients on them
i was trying to edit my hosts file so i could use wildcards and i think it turned on a proxy and i wanna turn it off
I mean X servers
one for each monitor
but that would be completely different X environment
hello, does anyone now how to set up a 2 pin button switch to a serial port?
systems7, try ##hardware
chipotle, https://apps.ubuntu.com/cat/applications/quantal/xinput-calibrator/
damn, can really nobody help me?
what was your question?
your all alone, everyone else has been taken over by the zombie apocalypse
i always knew link would be the last one standing.
regarding mac mini 2011, doesnt even get to the grub bootloader when booting from CD or USB
sorry linkandzelda its just you, me and some crafty bots
Yeah, I know nothing about macs, sorry man
vvpalin: good thing I prepared for the ZA!
hello, I am about to install ubuntu, and I have a question about swap partition, do I really need, and does it really improve performance
Did you make sure that you were booting to the right device? linkandzelda
abdostar, how much ram do you have? ssd or standard hdd?
how do i reconfigure a package like when it first installs?
brandon420, natrually, it wont even boot the Plop bootloader cd either
just gives me a black screen
4Gb and HDD
im totally gutted ;/
is there anyway to do like a restore on ubuntu to undo any changes within a timeperiod
brandon420: 4gb and HDD
abdostar, I don't see why you would need a swap space. But since you have a hdd, there would be no adverse effects of having it except the losing the space.
linkandzelda, I would check the the bois settings. I have never touched a mac, so i dont know how much different they would be. Sounds like it is looking in the wrong place to me.
brandon420: thank you, that's help. I was using linux mint, and worried about the GUI, will that be a challenge for me untill I get used to it
rephy222, Ubuntu does not have a restore function like windows. You might try explaining the problem in the form of a question.
brandon420, it is looking in the wrong place, but its actually skipping the drives and trying to boot a windows partition whuch isnt there. the probem is, macs have no bios
not to me but the channel
hello, does anyone now how to set up a 2 pin button switch to a serial port?
dfgas-cr48, You need to tell the channel what the package is.
abdostar, it should be alright. If you are new to linux i would start with ubuntu (the most documented distro) But mint is pretty user friendly from the get-go
linkandzelda, let me google really fast.
i installed a dnsproxy python script to allow wildcards in my hosts file and now i cant browse certain websites
wilee-nilee, mysql-server
and i wanna undo whatever the script did
brandon420: thank you, sine all is clear now, I wil start formating and installing, see you guys later
http://code.google.com/p/marlon-tools/source/browse/tools/dnsproxy/dnsproxy.py    this is the script
abdostar, you are welcome, good luck!
brandon420, ive been googling for almost 1-2 days now. but get this. as soon as i mention mac people have no idea, and i cant find a solution
so, let me ask this
what if it wasnt a mac?
you would just change the boot order in the bois.
it is much easier.
have you tried holding down the "C" key while restarting it?
dfgas-cr48, I would ask in #ubuntu-server if you get no answer here.
i see a few documents that say todo that
http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/Snow_Leopard_Installation_Instructions.pdf
sudo ln -s /path/to/phantomjs /usr/bin is not working for me. What wrong i am doing here?
brandon420, black screen. cd starts spinning then stops, nothing
linkandzelda: also if you are in osx, there is an option in prefs, for what will be next boot device
brontosaurusrex, thanks, but using the alt key lets you select the device you want at boot, and thats what i been doing
that should work
hey guys, I need to disable wallpaper fade in 12.04, the gtkrc thing  doesnt seem to work here.. any other suggestions?
linkandzelda, are you sure that you made the disc correctly?
sudo ln -s /path/to/phantomjs  /usr/bin is not working for me in ubuntu. What wrong i am doing here? please help.
brandon420, i used the same disc and same USB to install it on my macbook air
you can see why this is making me rage, there is no reason why its not working
rdk: what are u trying to do
linkandzelda, i feel your pain. I really have no idea what to do...
linkandzelda, I will get back to you in a couple of minutes. What model is it?
mac mini 2011. thanks
HEY
WHAT
IT BOOTED
FloodBot1, fu
woooooottt

i unplugged one of my usb hdd
lmfao
that could have been the issue.
this is fake right? https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Nexus7/Installation
rephy222:  I want to run a phantomjs scripts on my linux box, I have downloaded it and just want to run scripts.
(always unplug all extra hardware when installing a new os)
SailorMoon, i dont think so.
brandon420: it was last edited today, and, Ubuntu on an Android device? Psh.
rephy222:  i can runt it now but for that I have to give a absolute path of phantomjs while running script from anywhere on machine.
SailorMoon, there are alot of people that install ubuntu to their tablets, and phones.
hey guys, any way to stop wallpaper fade?
brandon420: but not as a legit OS
brandon420: They install ontop of Android. this is replacing android
on 12.04
coz_, Thanks for helping me install cairo-dock awhile back. =)
SailorMoon, oh, i have no idea then. Try it and let me know?
brandon420,   no problem, that must have been a while way back :)
hi I want to know what's the best ubuntu for my netbook
brandon420: feel free to smite me, but im not running ubuntu so i cant do it
SOLEIL,  I would assume the 12.04 LTS  ,,yes?
SailorMoon,  you are now smitten
lol
12.10 isn't bad.
wait that means something else ;)
;)
i would love the heck out of ubuntu, if it was real. Need to offer an actual installable rom instead of this weirdness
I'm not sure about it, I always have to fix a lot of things to make all work
and coz_ I think that the fading backgrounds are just a setting in the background settings.
brandon420,  ah I will check,, thanks
I noticed that there is a time symbol on the ones that change.
brandon420,  well I dont mean the changing wallpapers I mean just the fading  when chaning from one to the other , but let me check

Can someone explain to me ffmpeg and/vs avconv. When trying to run ffmpeg, I get a message to use avconv instead. I want to record my desktop with audio.
bjrohan,   last I tried ffmpeg worked fine, I just dont have the command for it at the moment
ffmwepg record desktop
hello, does anyone now how to set up a 2 pin button switch to a serial port?
how do I start an application on my secondary display?
bjrohan,   here is one link   http://infinitelygalactic.blogspot.com/2011/12/recording-your-linux-desktop-with.html
dougl, i used to use devilspie for that
coz_ when I run the command on that page, I get the standard use avconv message, then an error that the .mkv file that I am trying to create doesn't exist. Well DUH
dougl,  is this a twinview set up or sepearate x screens
OerHeks, I used the command line before (i prefer) but I cannot remember...
coz_, twinview
xbmc full screen
bjrohan,  mm darn,, I just havent used ffmpeg for this for a while,,, did you google the error?
Hello Ubuntu people. I recently installed kubuntu-desktop, and having logged into it once, whenever I instead log into Unity as usual, my right-click context menu (among a few other submenus, like the save-as menu) looks like kwin. Any idea why that is and how I can revert it to Unity?
bjrohan: perhaps visit #ffmpeg and ask ther
dougl,   you can open applications on any dispaly using compiz  with the settings manager
coz_, no command line for that?
bjrohan: the version bundled is outdated and borken (thats what ffmpeg people say at least)
I shall brontosaurusrex I was looking here for the avconc message :-)
dougl,  I am sure there is,, just dont recall at the moment
I want xbmc to be on display 2 every boot
brontosaurusrex: I have downloaded a static version
coz_, k thaanks
bjrohan: then it sounds like you are using the wrong one
dougl,   as i said that sould be able to be accomplished with compiz and xbmc in the start up apps
but
dougl,  you would have to test it
salut a tous
brontosaurusrex: the one that I have from the repo, that does work okay. I will switch to the Static built one and give it a go

Still no one here educated on that ubuntu nexus page?
it has a bugzilla page so it has to be real
but why no rom
SailorMoon: what do you mean?
pleaseplease help! after upgrading from 10.10 to 11.04 the login screen cannot  appear? please help
Aparently Ubuntu is officially available on the Nexus 7 tablet, k1l_.
SailorMoon: yes i know. but which page are you talking about?
If someone can help with ffmpeg error I would appreciate it. I keep getting an error unknown import format alsa
And im INSANELY interested in getting it but im running windows and the instructions are for ubuntu. i plan to try virtualbox later but still, it should be able to install itself  like anyrom
No one is in #ffmpeg
SailorMoon: ah, now we come to the point of interest.
k1l_: My main point being, why no rom installer, so that it can install itself?
SailorMoon: you can ask the arm guys if there is a rom. #ubuntu-arm

husterd, does it just freeze when the login screen should appear or do you just go straight into the desktop ?
Moopington, either from the application menu or crtl-alt-T
k1l_: Theyre all dead now.
Pelo: that was the first thing i tried.. there's no terminal application, and ctrl-alt-t does nothing..
Pelo:  no if i reboot it shows the screen that says out of range and still like that
Moopington, alt-f2 gnome-terminal
I'll try that. thanks. :P
husterd, that's beyond my expertise
husterd, can you get to a console ? crtl-alt-f1 throught f6 ?
Pelo:  now i am working on a live cd and chating with you
husterd, try installing instead of upgrading that might solve many problems
Pelo:  how coz i dont like to loose my folders on home
how do I start xbmc on my secondary display in my nvidia/twinview config in kde on my kubuntu 12.10 installation?
* Moopington sighs. "Command not recognized"
is there a channel for GNOME3 Ubuntu users?
I don't want to hang out with people using unity
husterd, sorry , I was assuming that your /home was on a seperate partition , they you would not loose it , if this is above your skill level use the live cd to copy your /home to some other media ( usb key for exemple), then reisntall, you can then copy the /home data back to your hard drive
Pelo:  so there is another way not to make format?
husterd, that's my best solution, someone else might know better,  try booting into the install you have now and seeif you can get into the console mode , from there maybe someone else can help you fix it
exit
whoops
i am trying to mount my windows harddrive on ubuntu, however fdisk and gparted do not see the HDD.  It sees my other harddrives and I do have NTFS configuration tool installed and set to read ntfs
Can someone help me setup printing over internet?
Guest47081: Then take a look at dmesg to check whats wrong with your windows drive.
Can someone tell me why port 1720 is showing as open on my server?  I'm using ufw but only allow 22, 80, etc
lsof -i
nmap shows 1720 open?
server is ubuntu 10.04 server
lsof -i on your server.
has anyone found a cure for kswapd0 running at 100% CPU?
i've searched high and low but haven't found a solution
lsof doesn't exsit on ubuntu server
the only thing that stops it is  reboot
i guess i can apt-get it
bkfitz: sudo netstat -anp |grep 1720  which process owns the port?
nothing
then it's not open
nmap says it is though
Why I have to buy FlareGet even it is an open source program?
nmap 66.288.57.208
bkfitz are tou on windows?
nmap is a crap software which is utterly useless for what you are trying to see
bekks, humm not sure what I am looking for
bkfitz: can you connect to the port?
negative... ubuntu 12.04 laptop
wols: how should I try
bkfitz: are you saing this port is open on  telnet  66.288.57.208 1720
?
Guest47081: For errors/hints what happened to your windows drive.
wols: i guess
wols: I'm confused
bkfitz: really. IP 66.288.57.208 ?
that is not a valid IP
wols: yes
wols: sorry 66.228.57.208 typo
Hey, I was wondering if I backup using the backup that comes with ubuntu 12.04 will it back up all my settings also? like compiz settings?
randybo: Depends on how you configure it.
how can I got about it so it does?
bekks, here is my dmesg output.
bkfitz: telnet 66.228.57.208 1720  tries to connect to the port you say is open. it won't connect cause it is not
bekks, opps sorry here you go http://pastebin.com/JBqbyrLQ
wols: then why would nmap show it open?
bkfitz: cause it's faulty and has bugs or you are not able to use it properly
bekks: how can I go about it so it does?
Guest47081: How many disks do you have?
wols: all I'm doing is nmap IP :)
wols: maybe faulty/bugs???
randybo: I have never used that tool, I am creating backups with my own scripts, fitting my personal needs.
grahh, i hibernated my laptop, wanted to power it up in the train to play some games, but somehow the stupid ecrypt lost my user folder... Logging in as usual, i get an unwindowmanagered windows saying "Call to lnusertemp failed (temporary directories full?). Check your installation."
bkfitz: I ran nmap on it just now. and you have postgresql open to the world. bad idea
wols: temporary
wols: i know
logged in via console, all that's to be found is some random crap explaining me to use ecrypt-mount-userdata or something
wols: it's a linode hosted box with no UI... so i open it temporarily to use pgadmin
bekks, I have a RAID5 hard drives that Ubuntu sees fine (3 partitions 4 GB, 1 GB , and 605 GB - these have an old version of Kubuntu installed) and I have a seperate physical HDD directly plugged into one of my SATA ports on my motherboard (this is the one with Windows installed)
(which failed too, btw... said my password is wrong)
bkfitz: learn to configure a VPN
wols: did you scan him?
yes I ran nmap on his host to check what he said about port 1720. and he was wrong: nmap doesn't show that port open at all
Guest47081: You are mixing up "partitions" and "drives" in a way I dont understand how many drives you have.
Hi
Guest47081: How many physical disk drives do you have?
wols: :)
wols: ufw deny 5432. done
bkfitz: but for the future, a VPN would be a good idea (imho)
bkfitz: or even a ssh port forward
wols: agree... just never done it and haven't had time.. .but that nmap result is weird... did you see 1720 when you ran it?
same for the proxy if it is one, and of course disable ftp altogether. you have ssh, that's enough :)
bekks, sorry I have 4 total drives (3 are in a RAID 5 array using a MegaRAID PCI controller) and the forth is the one with Windows only installed... so total of 4 physical drives
bkfitz: no nmap
wols: huh... ok thx :)
bkfitz: whenever nmap shows a port, use telnet or nc to connect to it, to see if it actually responds.
wols: good policy thx
and when you own the host in question, always use sudo netstat -anp |grep LIST
Guest47081: Then why do we see 3 drives, while (since you are using a HW raid controller) we should see only 2 drives (the RAID and the 4th drive)?
bekks, the raid is split into 3 logical drives (4GB, 1GB swap, 605 GB) via the PCI card, I also am running Ubuntu LiveCD through a  USB stick (4GB)...... my missing WIndows HDD is 250GB
Guest47081: Then pastebin the output of sudo fdisk -l please
If I am looking to back up my settings and all my programs what folders would I want to put into my backup?
bekks, here you go: http://pastebin.com/SeF1Vsfr
randybo: all
randybo  for all you programs, use dpkg --set-selections
Help! ALT+TAB and ALT+F4 doesn't work anymore. Any ideas on what I can try to fix it? Ubuntu 12.04
My user folder's contents disappeared. now all i see is Access-Your-Private-Data.desktop, .ecryptfs, .Private and README.txt
and i cant log in with KDE anymore, only text mode
kubuntu 12.04 LTS
i tried ecryptfs-mount-private, but it doesn't accept my user account password
Guest47081: There are four drives. Should be enough ;)
almost all my video players crash while playing mkvs and mp4's anyone else have issues like this?
bekks, yes I see 4 but there should be 5-- sda1=4GB Thumb drive with Live CD on it, sdb1=4GB ext3, sdc1=1GB swap, sdd1= 634GB ext3, what it does not show is my 250GB NTFS
google says "When you originally ran ecryptfs-setup-private, you were asked for two things. Your Login Password, and a file encryption key."
i was never asked for a file encryption key!
I am having problems with wireless... wlan0 is not created, and is not availible... lsusb shows the device correctly, ath9k_htc is loaded but no joy
bekks, if it helps here is my lshw output: http://pastebin.com/BH4MVUDZ
how can I run a grep for "---" as a literal?
-- then ---
i think
Bsims: pastebin your dmesg output
wols: I am under windows at work, it appears I have hit this problem http://askubuntu.com/questions/173457/usb-wi-fi-netgear-wnda3200-unable-to-allocate-urbs-error
i have a question. how can non-root users shut down a system? for example, XBMC can shut down the system as a normal user.
delinquentme: grep -- "---"
just a general linux question i suppose
Help! ALT+TAB and ALT+F4 doesn't work anymore. Any ideas on what I can try to fix it? Ubuntu 12.04
delinquentme: grep "\-\-\-"
kev^: sudo
wols: RE vpn do you recommend OpenVPN
and then what if i need to make it recursive?
bkfitz: yes
wols: this is a production server... do I need to worry about messing things up... should I try on our test box here :)
bkfitz: or for the short term, quick fix, a ssh port forward
wols: ssh port fwd?
wols: 22 - 5432
bkfitz: never noticed any problem but since it's a VPS, I dunno how the virtualization is handled. OpenVPN needs to create a kernel network interface for itself of course
wols: won't that route all traffic on 22 to 5432
kev^ It's because the user is in the ACPI group (/etc/group)
delinquentme: grep -R
kev^ that gives him permission to use shutdown
Ah it appears its a kernel bug, its being loaded as a bulk usb
wols: apparently they support it : http://library.linode.com/networking/openvpn :)
bkfitz: no it won't. you designate a single port on your client end, and everything you send to this local port will get forwarded to the pgsql port on the remote machine
kev^ Wait, there is no acpi group on this OS. So it must be the sudo group or adm group.
wols: thanks anyway... lol just got to run a wire to see if I can get a kernel update to get the wireless to work
Guest47081: You can see four disks.
Mount raid on... what?
Aurelio: ... a mountpoint.
like what ?
whats a good idea ?
Aurelio: /mnt/myraid
hmm, alright cool, thanks. Still not getting the hang of Linux file systems
bekks, i must be missing the other disk, what is it listed as /dev/sde1?1?
Guest47081: sde would be the 5th disk.
How can i make it so when i use my tv, to auto select 720p mode? plz and ty in advanced :)
bekks, humm well sda1 = thumb drive, sdb1 = ext3, sdc1 = swap, sdd1  = ext3   .... still not seeing NTFS
hello, does anyone now how to set up a 2 pin button switch to a serial port?
Guest47081: Did you triple check the cabling?
how to set up a 2 pin push button switch to an internal serial heddeR?
huh?
i only asked once
systems7: how is this ubuntu support related?
bekks, yes... if I reboot and go to my bios and set the Windows Harddrive to boot first, than Windows boots fine
systems7: At least two times. At 214820 and 214852
becuase its gonna trigger an ubuntu commoand
bekks, I even tried new SATA cables on all my drives
RealOptyz use the ATI or Nvidia control software?
Guest47081: Which Ubuntu do you use exactly?
RealOptyz I don't know how to do it if you have an Intel card.
systems7: that doesn't make it ubuntu related at all. sounds more like something for #electronics or #hardware
Yes im aware of that
I was hoping for a command line approach
wols: thanks
RealOptyz For me, when I'm using my monitor it automatically chooses 1920x1200 and when I turn on my TV it selects 1280x720 automatically (ATI)
bekks, currently I am running off a Live CD.  on the EXT3 drives it has a old 8.xx Kubuntu version
I was kind of reading about xrandr. Maybe there is a way to set a 'preferred '
bekks, sorry the livecd is Ubuntu 12.10
Hello all! Can anyone point me to a good tutorial about how to change a kernel from the command line as I want to change the kernel on my VPS, if that is at all possible!
TaJMoX: When using my TV it likes to auto select 1366*768. quite irritating lol
lloowen: It isnt, since the kernel image is built by your ISP, to fit their needs.
lloowen: So unless your ISP provides a new package for you, you'll have to stay on that kernel.
bekks: Hmmm I figured something like that was happening. I changed from 10.04 to 11.04 but the kernel was the same!
bekks: wouldn't that depend on the kind of VPS? e.g. he might run under a Xen one
Hey guys. I have connected my Playstation to the aux in, on my computer. How can I make that the audio comes out through the speakers?
hi friends
lloowen: Because updating the release will not update the kernel automagically.
wols: And without a domU kernel, he'll break his VPS. :)
bekks: I suspect my VPS have rigged it so that it is practically impossible to set up a tun/tap interface or even run openSwan
so is there a way to disable screen blanking that works better than installing xscreensaver as with xscreensaver running when i reopen my laptop lid it never wakesup
dbugger: you should enable the mic output and turn up the volume, did you do it?
chris_is_me: xset
How do I do that?
lloowen: Well, then you have to contact their support, I guess.
Jaime, Im not sure how to do that in Ubuntu
you should open the audio preferences in the system setup
sudokode: doesn't work tryed that
dbugger, i don't know if this can help you, but i was reading this today; it helped me to listen to my mic through my speakers: http://blog.flipzu.com/2011/02/how-to-mix-voice-and-audio-on-ubuntu.html
anyone got tunngle running with or without wine
i'm using 12.10 upgraded from 12.4
or any unoffical way to connect to tunngle networks
setting in control panel are completly ignored
Jaime, i rightclick on the speaker icon and I open "Sound Settings" Over there in the Input tab theres nothing really to enable
dbugger also you'll need this command too, to unload the numbers (modules) you'll get: pactl unload-module <number>
Hi guys. Tell me please any good app for recording video from desktop. Ubuntu 12.04
dbugger, are you listening to me? did you check that link i gave you?
dbugger: i think physically_fit, it's on the right way
Can anybody provide me with a good Linux alternative to Skype for calling land-line phones from your computer or smart-phone?
physically_fit, Im reading it, wait
Skype is just letting me down over and over.
Gerowen: why? It works, sort of.
dbugger anotate this command too, or you'll get too many sound streams: pactl unload-module <number>
physically_fit, but isnt that article for the "mic" jack?
I have the console on the aux-in jack
dbugger, yeah, that's why i said i wasn't sure if that could help you, but it may guide you somewhere....
It works well enough for calls to other skype users, but for some reason when I've tried using it to interact with land-line phones it doesn't ring half the time when people call, sometimes when I call a number I know is correct I get re-routed to a random person, and more often than not when someone does answer when I've called them the phone stays totally silent and I have to hang up and call back a 2nd time.
over the rainbow
I already did it once in the past, even though Im not sure how
Im sure it was nothing like that
does anyone know how I can fix Ubuntu's networking?  after a broken update, my Ubuntu can no longer connect to wireless or wired networks.  the icon just keeps trying to connect and fails always.
Gerowen: I've not had that issue calling landlines. ):
currently I am manually using "dhclient eth0", but that disconnects every couple minutes
I remember typing some sort of command in the terminal, which showed me something similar to the alsamixer, but with lot more channels. Turning one of them up fixed the issue
dbugger, also the command alsamixer you can enable the tracks you need
How can i make it so when i use my tv, to auto select 720p mode? plz and ty in advanced :)
I didn't used to, it's weird.  I use it primarily on my Android phone which seems to be where most of the problems happen.
nvidia drivers
Gerowen: ah
hi bipolar
physically_fit, in the alsamixer there isnt anything that can help me
dbugger, i dunno, i been researching since today only this thing
dbugger: ALSA provides no wrapping for the mixer items, meaning that it is whatever the hardware provides.  this is often non-sensical to humans.  sometimes you need to adjust two or even three mixer controls to actually do what you want.
Samus_Aran, Id adjust 20 if I knew which ones :P
dbugger: and make sure they're all unmuted (press 'm' so there are no "MM" items below the mixers)
I was wondering if anybody can help me with a question?
dbugger: I missed the part where you said what you were trying to do.  record, play sound?
Greg___: it would be easier to help you with an answer.  :)
The sudoers file on a ubuntu box has been corrupted, and Policykit is not on the machine ... how can I fix the box without reloading the entire box
Ubuntu 10.04.3 LTS is what I am running on the machine
Greg___: "has been corrupted" - how?
Greg___: did you ever add a password for root?
no password for root, and the sudoers file was changed
Greg___: How was it changed...?
Greg___: you will need to boot from CD, then chroot to your distro.  this way you will be root user, and can install packages and so forth
using nano adding a new user to the file
reinstall the packages you messed up
sample output from vlc segfaulting, almost all other players segfault similarly http://paste.ubuntu.com/1327544/
* nydel wonders why so many people running lucid are coming in for support lately
Samus_Aran: He cant, with a messed up sudoers file.
Greg___: And did you change the existing entries?
bekks: please re-read what I suggested.  it does not use sudo.
Ok so boot from CD than chroot, and then I will be able to edit that file right
Greg___: And did you change the existing entries?
no I did not change what was already there
I just added a new line
Greg___: what line did you add?
Greg___: Then why cant you just use sudo then, with your old user?
strange to remove permissions from your user.  :)
my laptop (less than a week old, kubuntu 12.04 LTS, crypted home folder since installation) fails to mount the crypted home folder. hibernate failed to resume about 5 times, i think that's relevant, too.
I get this error /etc/sudoers: syntax error near line 10 <<< sudo: parse error in /etc/sudoers near line 10 sudo: no valid sudoers sources found, quitting
how do i recover my data?
it is weird, and that happens no matter what username is used
hey when i try to boot the ubuntu 12.10 cd it just boots to a blackscreen with a grub prompt
Greg___: Thats not weird. sudo doesnt work as long as the sudoers file contains unparseable errors.
ahh ok
Greg___: You have to use a live cd, revoke your changes and try again.
ok
Hi all
Yay, I'm finally on Ubuntu
is my ubuntu 12.10 cd corrupt or is it a problem with uefi?
I just installed ubuntu 12.04
I am not able to download python packages for it
linkandzelda, 12.10 or 12.04?
is Policykit-1 default or is that something I have to download seperate
physically_fit, 12.10
and I'm using Xchat
I am trying sudo apt-get install python-dateutil
linkandzelda, gratz, i can't even get the live cd to boot
Greg___: Did you remove it? Why do you need it to be installed?
it just seems me to a grub prompt
it says :0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 48 not upgraded.
chitra what error are you getting?
BluPhenix316, what device?
hi
if a deploy a production server, should i fire it up inside a screen? or is there a better way?
seems like already installed
BluPhenix316: you could try the alternate install CD
it is happening with all the packages
No I did not remove it, but I know that is another way to fix the problem if that is installed.
Samurs_Aran: what is that? I've tried burning the ISO to a disc and writing it to a usb stick and same thing
sudo apt-get install postgresql
Greg___: Thats no fix at all for a broken sudoers file.
what is the alternate install cd?
Greg___: since root has no pw set, you cant login as root.
BluPhenix316: sometimes the default install CD has issues with the graphics card in the system and ends up without a visible screen.  in those cases, there is the alternate install CD that doesn't have graphics.
BluPhenix316: it uses a semi-graphical text mode installer that is fairly easy to follow
ahh ok
Thank you very much
ms_choudhary_200: sometimes I am getting error like this
my college network administrator blocks chat on irc. How can i connect? Tried with tor, didn't worked.
http://paste.ubuntu.com/1327567/
Greg___: boot from CD, check if your Ubuntu system is auto-mounted (it should be), then from a terminal do: sudo chroot /mnt/whatever
Samurs_Aran: the problem i'm having through is, complicated, I had it working before, I was dual-booting between windows 7 and windows 8(i hate it, but it was a required school project), I installed ubuntu overtop of windows 8 but couldn't get back into 7, so i installed windows 8 again, removed windows 8 from windows boot manager and tried to reinstall ubuntu and now the disc just sends me to the grub prompt
Greg___: then you can do "visudo" to edit the file
i really can't stand uefi but i'm stuck with it for now
BluPhenix316, do you have a mac or a pc?
chitra: did you run: sudo apt-get update; yet?
Awesome :) thank you
linkandzelda: pc, Alienware X-51
no
i see
BluPhenix316: GRUB is installed to your hard drive, if it's booting from CD there is no GRUB involved.  it sounds like your BIOS is not booting from the CD
chitra: then do it and try again
trism : i was getting same in sudp apt-get update too
BluPhenix316: do you have to press some key to choose to boot from CD?
but now it is showing me there are some updates
trism: why does that needs, I mean I have just downloaded ubuntu12.04 ,is not a updated one?
no
and its not grub, i installed mint fine but i was hoping to install ubuntu
Can I specify a pid file when using "nohup" ?
linusoleander: No.
i know its a uefi issue but i'm running out of ideas
BluPhenix316: what?  you said it goes black on a GRUB screen.  there is no GRUB on the Ubuntu install CD at all, it uses I think ISOLinux
bekks: Do you know anything similar to nohup which makes it possible to specify a pid file?
chitra: you have to run that after you first install to download the latest package index, otherwise you won't be able to install most packages
linusoleander: Specifying a pid file will not help you at all. A pid file is not a running process, but a file.
trism: thanks
bekks: Yes, i know. But I need to pid for the process that's being started
now I've installed Ubuntu I have no idea what to do next lol
Samus_Aran, when i put the cd in, it goes to a grub prompt, if i don't have the cd in, i can choose either a windows boot manager or mint
linusoleander: You cant predict the PID that is gonna be used.
and the grub prompt says grub version 1.99something something ubuntu something hehe
ikonia, friend, are you here?
trism: I was thinking to install the packages and start my work and later ,updates can run , So it is not a right way?
 bekks I want to tell the current application to use a specific file as pid pile
*file
BluPhenix316: okay, that's news to me that the CD is using GRUB.  I guess GRUB 2 can manage boot CDs
nohup --pid /tmp/prod.pid && kill `/tmp/prod.pid`
Samus_Aran: i tried using linux usb creator, which normally uses syslinux, but that uses grub as well
bekks: Like that ^
for ubuntu 12.10
linusoleander: That is not possible as I just stated.
chitra: update doesn't install new packages, just index for the packages, you use apt-get upgrade; apt-get dist-upgrade; to upgrade the packages
bekks: Why is that, it works with "rackup" for example
maybe my iso is just corrupt and i should download another
linusoleander: I never heard of "rackup" until now.
linusoleander: And killing a file, not a PID, is just nonsense.
bekks: Yeah, I missed the cat part
bekks: The idea of specifying a pid file for a process isn't strange at all. Why would it?
think Secure Boot would effect it any? right now I have secure boot disabled
I can do it for mysql, postgresql, redis and so on
I have some source code I've modified and got running fine. I uploaded the code to github and cloned it to another ubuntu machine, and it won't compole on the second machine. The configure script won't even run, it just prints out this:  syntax error near unexpected token `config.h'
linusoleander: Because a "pid file" may contain everything - it doesnt have to contain a PID. And a process is not forced to actually create a PID file at all. Thats why it is nonsense.
i have installed kubuntu, so when runing firefox and clicking to open or save file, in the dialog that apepars does apepars the Documents, Downloads, Pictures, Videos directories, what package i need to isntall to have those dirs appearing in the "Save As" firefox dialog?
BluPhenix316: so yeah, I recommend the alternate CD, as it tends to have far fewer issues: http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/alternative-downloads
hmm, mail-notifier is crashing right after i run it. could anyone help me troubleshoot?
Samus_Aran: thank you!
BluPhenix316: I'm not familiar with secure boot
bekks: Yes, i know that is why I'm asking if there is a wrapper application which can store the pid in a file so I can access it later
I want to play around with writing client-server sockets.  What should I use in ubuntu to simulate a server on my machine?
i have a question
I need to know the pid for a specific process to be able to track it
I don't understand why that's strange
the "--" option is need in kernel boot options?
i can't wait for Steam on Linux, if Valve can convince bethesda to make native linux versions of their games through steam, i won't ever need windows again
linusoleander: so record the pid when you start it, no?
jrib: How?
linusoleander: how are you starting it?
linusoleander: and what is "it"?
BluPhenix316: it seems they don't have an alternate install CD for 12.10, but they do for 12.04
jrib: Just by calling it. "/usr/bin/mybinary"
Samus_Aran: they have the net install mini iso, that should do it, i have a decent wired connection
jrib: It's a bunch of different background processes
linusoleander: that information is available as some bash variable.  See its documentation.  Better yet, ask #bash as they might suggest to you a better way to do what you want
ok lets give this a shot, if it works i'll be back and let ya know if your curious
dj_corncob: you can do that lots of different ways.  what's the issue with just running the server and client programs on the same machine?  if you need virtual machines, you can use VirtualBox, QEMU, or there's one that lets you run another Linux kernel/system directly.
has anyone got m-audio drivers for ubuntu/linux? specifically for a firewire device?
jrib: Yes, I know that. but I need to know the exact possision of the pid file before starting it
linusoleander: what?  Why is there suddenly a "pid file" involved?
jrib: I need the pid file. Have you ever used monit, god or bluepill?
trism: is there a differenct in sudo apt-get update and update from update manager?
linusoleander: no.
nydel: if it is not supported by ALSA, give OSS v4 a try, it has a lot of excellent sound drivers
jrib: Anyhow, I need to write a pid file for any background process I start
chitra: no
linusoleander: I think you should state what your actual goal is.
Samus_Aran: do you have the appropriate URL to check about ALSA support? & for OSS v4? i'm not familiar with OSS v4 at all.
chitra: well, checking for updates no, but again, apt-get update; doesn't actually install packages
I've a background process that's being tracked by monit. Monit needs the pid file to be able to track it
trism: what it actually does?
nydel: #OSS channel here on FreeNode.  their web site is in the URL.  there's also a wiki page that tells you how to set up apps to use OSS instead of ALSA.
chitra: downloads information about available packages
linusoleander: so if a program creates a pid file, give monit the pid file.  If a program does not create a pid file, create it.
nydel: my browser is lagging, or I'd grab you the URLs
linusoleander: although I imagine if you ask monit support there may be a "better way"
Samus_Aran: have you ever heard of a box that takes an hdmi in, & has a bunch of outs? for example, right now i use my laptop & an HDMI out to HDMI1, my television. then i use RCA outs to my firewire M-Audio which is running on a windows desktop over there. & outs from the m-audio go to dual monitor speakers as well as another set of speakers.
nydel: years ago OSS (Open Sound System) was the only Linux sound system.  then OSS switched to v3 and became closed-source, so ALSA was invented to fill in the gap.  OSS with v4 went back to open source.
Samus_Aran: but i would be interested in a box that just takes the HDMI & has a bunch of outs
nydel: that sounds like a lot of passing through.  wouldn't that create delays in the sound?
trism: just info about available packages?
linusoleander: here read this: http://mmonit.com/wiki/Monit/FAQ#pidfile
chitra: yes
it takes so many MBs and time?
chitra: there are many many packages
something is very wrong, if i restart network-manager service i get DOUBLED wifi network entries from network-manager icon
 Fresh install.  I try to access in IMAP, plain text passwd, outside my LAN without success...
Samus_Aran: no delay, unless i'm experiencing a very pleasing chorus effect, but it couldn't be more than 10ms i doubt, else i'd be able to tell
trism: may be :/
jrib: I was a bit fast there, I'm not using monit atm, I'm using bluepill. Thanks anyway
trism: synaptic pakage manager does the same thing?
jrib: But I get the point
chitra: if you click Reload yes
I was hoping that linux had something build in
hi
ubuntu-fan001: hello
nydel: I've never used Firewire or USB soundcards, myself, but any time I have issues with ALSA I just switch to OSS v4 and the issues are gone.  :)
i have some question about setting vpn in ubuntu
awright
my bad
is there a way to setup l2tp vpn in ubuntu
ubuntu-fan001: have you seen https://wiki.ubuntu.com/VPN ?
cc
no
ya des francais ?
:)
trism: you were right, updates are working now
:)
chitra: happy to hear it
:))
It was too important for me ,I am not sleeping whole night just for setup the system,tomorrow need to leave from here
:)
there are soo many packages but all are small in size
most of
is there a wine help channel?
DeathStar: #winehq
gunbert:so there is no way
i just look at the link you gave me
ubuntu-fan001: well, I have to admit the page is rather old
yeah
on other system's ip irc chat is disabled,I get message something like contact to admin ..
do we have now?
what I need to do for that?
the l2tp support for ubuntu
chitra:  what irc client and whats the exact message?
ubuntu-fan001: please have a look at http://bailey.st/blog/2011/07/14/connecting-to-a-l2tpipsec-vpn-from-ubuntu-desktop/
Hi, I need help installing ubuntu please. i have a machine that has Windows 7, can access USB (but cant boot from it), cant access CD/DVD (drive is bunked), and can emulate an ISO as a disk (on Windows 7) :)
thank u
anyone up for a challenge ? :)
i will
http://askubuntu.com/questions/100039/l2tp-vpn-connection-plugin
hell! :)
*o x)
actually what happened with me is , I registered a nick on a system but I was using the nic without register from many days on other system,today after register I went to other computer and opened the irc ,it said the nick is registerd please verify : I started to verify but before it ,I got a message that my ip is blocked for IRC
eyastaifour:  you sure you are making the boot usb thing correctly? does it work in other machines>
ubuntu-fan001: dr_willis found more ^^^^
dr_willis: dont remember the actual message but it was something like I need to contact to admin
dr_willis:  its an old machine: it cant boot from USB... it has windows on it now, and I copied the ubuntu.ISO on it (via a USB drive)
chitra:  the  register your nick web site from freenode said that? If so ask in #freenode
yeah
eyastaifour:  i would be amazed that a machine so old it cant boot from USB is even able to run windows 7
thank dr willis
dr_willis: im amazed as well.
eyastaifour:  if you got a spare small hard drive you could image the ISO file to the HD plug it in. boot from it then install to a differnt HD i guess...
eyastaifour: are you jocking?
:P
dr_willis: i can not BOOT from USB. in my boot menu, i have: CD, HDD, and network
dr_wills: yes something like that
my DVD drive doesnt work. i m not interested in setting up PXE now
eyastaifour:  ive seen usb NOT show up IF the usb flash is not bootable. Ie: not made properly.
i have windows, and there's an ISO there - ubuntu ISO. and i have a 40 GB unallocated space on the HDD
guess you could try virtualbox and get lucky.. but that is most likely not a good idea to try to do a real install to a real hd from within vbox.
Call me a noob, but I would like to ssh to localhost.
mcoffee:  and whats stopping you?
Hello, how do I list the other drives in my terminal? I need to access my other hard drive
persona24: sudo blkid
dr_willis: this is what I get "ssh: connect to host localhost port 22: Connection refused"
persona24:  mount would show the other drives and mountpoints if they are mounted.
no virtualization for me. i need it running on the box directly
mcoffee:  you did install the ssh service?>
eyastaifour:  i was hinting at using vbox to do a 'real' install to the hd. you would then boot...
No. I guess I'll give that a try.
mcoffee:  ssh service is not installed by default. ;)
persona24: That lists partitions with filesystems, which is generally more usefull than listing drives.
dr_willis: is the package `openssh-server` the one I should use?
dr_willis: I mean install.
i've just installed a new bootloader via wbui.exe
ok, so I enter mount and it just gives me some info I don't really understand
but since my CD doesnt work, it's not getting me anywhere. although, I have bash (or some shell) now.
ubottu: thanks
persona24:  a list of the various filesystems and their mountpoints..
can i use this to access my NTFS partition where my ubuntu ISO lives, mount it, and then run an install ?
persona24:  give us more details and we may be able to help more.
eyastaifour: Yes.
thats even scarier then using vbox ;)
Jordan_U: wow - awesome. how do i proceed doing so ? :)
hey guys, I am trying to silence xauth error messages.  I can't figure out the right syntax.  I am trying 'xauth 2>/dev/null' but that does not seem to do the job
dr_willis: I just want to be able to mount onto my d drive
persona24:  you mean you want to access your windows d: drive?
Hey guys. I have my playstation connected to the aux in, but nothing is comming out through the speakers. Is there anything special I need to do for this to work?
dr_willis: yes
persona24:  normally you just select  the disk in the file manager list and it auto-mounts it.. UNLESS the filesystem is currupted or needs checked it should auto mount.
How to use procmail and also use maildir ?
persona24:  or you can mount it by hand.
is ipsec module working in kernel 3.X?
eyastaifour: First, since you've used Wubi, you should boot into the Wubi Ubuntu installation from which you can configure grub to boot from the Ubuntu iso.
I've never had luck mounting drives. I'm trying to learn to strickly use the terminal sometimes but mounting has always been my downfall
persona24:  mounting is rather.. well.. staight forward...
Jordan_U: im still trying to figure out the syntax of mount ... cant seem to remember a lot
mount /dev/partitionname /media/makeamountpointfirst
persona24,  do you know how to use "mount " and "fdisk ">
bobweaver: not really
persona24,  you can use fdisk to scan drive's and partitions like "sudo fdisk -l "
dr_willis: thanks, it worked!
persona24,  this will give you a list of drives and partitions that are attached and then you can mount these drive's to the place that you would like to mount it to example "sudo mount /dev/sda$ /mnt "   where $ is the number of the drive like "sudo mount /dev/sda1 mnt "    mount <DRIVE Number>  < Where you want to Mount >
should i install GNOME or stick with Unity? I cant decide and im new to everything lol
eyastaifour: Are you currently booted into Ubuntu?
Jordan_U: no
my shell says ; initramfs
i cant find whereis, or fdisk
linkandzelda: Ubuntu uses gnome
and when i try to mount /dev/sda1 - i get "invalig argument"
I thought its using Unity
xangua: not anymore, only as option
eyastaifour, what are you trying to mount ?
my partition C: (win7), formatted as NTFS
i booted from what wbui.exe installed.
linkandzelda: vbe ubnity is just a shell for gnome
eyastaifour: OK, that means that booting failed for some reason. Did you do a normal Wubi installation following the instructions at http://www.ubuntu.com/download/help/install-ubuntu-with-windows ? (note that nowhere in those instructions does it say to make a virtual CD in Windows, and you should *not* have done so).
it installed a new entry in my BCD, which takes me to GRUB, which won't load completely (because my CD doesnt work)
my CD does not function people :)
xangua: huh?
eyastaifour: Re-read my comment, I never said that you should be using a CD.
i thin wubi was not a great solutions if you want explore your linux, they resides on your windows, depends on windows ...
think
Jordan_U: sorry, I used wbui.exe that comes at the root of the ISO that I've downloaded and mounted, not the one you shared
xangua: to my understanding both are windowmanagers/desktop environments/whatever you call it. not one based on the other
blackshirt: In this case we're just using Wubi as a stepping stone to a real install.
jordan_u, i'm agree with you
eyastaifour: Boot into Windows, remove Wubi, and follow the directions at the link I gave you. Do *not* at any point make a virtual CD.
Jordan_U: but my windows machine doesn't have network drivers... it won't be able to download files
can i add those files manually, from the ISO that I have downloaded
How would I ssh to a computer that is located remotely? Say the remote IP was 27.99.9.9, and the internal IP of the computer was 192.168.1.12, how would I ssh to it?
eyastaifour: Download the wubi.exe from another machine and put it on a USB drive.
(to clarify: i downloaded it from my mac, and i transfered it to the windows machine, using a USB disk)
eyastaifour: Make sure that you have the wubi.exe and the Ubuntu iso in the same directory when you open wubi.exe, otherwise wubi will try to download the iso itself.
How can I run 3 monitors on 2 video cards?
Where does Dash read information from? When I try to open some directories it finds, it says "could not find /path/to/dir".
Jordan_U: do i have to do any cleanup before starting wubi.exe, considering i didnt do it properly the first time
How can I change the default Java look and feel?
oh, this is awesome... i re-ran wubi.exe, and it asked me to uninstall :)
eyastaifour: Like I said you should remove your current broken Wubi installation first.
yes, i wasn't aware it was as simple as a double-click again :)
well finally managed to get ubuntu 12.10 installed, but my resolution is stuck at 1024x768 with the nvidia drivers
as soon as I run wubi.exe, it claims there's not enough free space. i do have 40GB of unallocated space which I intend to use for ubuntu
should I format this as NTFS, and start wubi.exe again ?
anyone have any luck with nvidia cards and 12.10?
or preferably FAT ?
eyastaifour: No.
oh and i have a nvidia 660 gtx, its not optimus
Jordan_U: should I free up space from partition C: then? or click on "continue anyway" (in wubi.exe) ?
eyastaifour: You need enough free space in C: to hold wubi's root.disk, but since this will be temporary you can tell wubi to create as small of a root.disk as it will allow.
Since updating to 12.10 'Disk Usage Analyser' has associated itself with USB devices. When I insert one and try to open it from the unity launcher it opens up. How can I associate USB's with nautilis?
How can I set the command for "Workspace Switcher" to one keyboard key, so I can see all 9 of my desktops in one easy to remember keystroke?  Ubuntu 12.04 LTS.
this is taking a lot of getting used to compared to OS X
Hmm... My question went unnanswered for a while. Here's what I asked: How would I ssh to a computer that is located remotely? Say the remote IP was 27.99.9.9, and the internal IP of the computer was 192.168.1.12, how would I ssh to it?
mcoffee: ssh username@27.99.9.9
mcoffee, just remote it, if
mcoffee: Then you have to create a router portforwarding entry on the router the remote computer is connected to.
hey anyone know how to get a higher resolution than 1024x768 with nvida drivers in ubuntu 12.10?
does anyone know how to route between 2 networks using ubuntu?
mcoffee: your question is not clear - did you mean that your remote host is behind a router (with the external address 27.99.9.9) ?
Yes.
Jordan_U:  awesome. so far, i m disabling hibernation, and turning the page file size down. i ll ping again once i have the free disk space
guntbert: yes
Or at least I think.
mcoffee: in that case follow what bekks said - you need to tell the router to forward traffic to the server
K.
alguien me puede ayudar a enrutar entre 2 redes desde ubuntu?
guntbert: k
bekks: I port-forwarded.
how do i enable entering password on login?
I'm still a noob at this, but I did a port forward.
As I would guess simply doing `ssh username@27.99.9.9` doesn't cut it.
I'm guessing that I would also have to add extra arguments to the command.
Not just the username@address argument.
mcoffee: that should suffice if the port forwarding was done correctly
hello
what does the service "sh" do?
I have a small problem: I often get a "Bus error" when I do things such as edit text files or try to open certain programs (such as Pidgin) - what would be the most likely cause to this?
Lunar_Lander: "sh" is a shell, not a service.
Jordan_U: it wubi.exe now runs without any warning. but when it asks me about the installation drive, i have 1 option only (obviously), which is C:
ah
eyastaifour: Yes, and that's what you want to use.
with 7 GB of free space.. its not where I want ubuntu to be ultimately installed (i want to use the 40 GB unallocated space)
so - this is interim ?
eyastaifour: Yes. We will use the Wubi installation to configure grub to boot from the iso, and then do a real install from there.
because xterm says it had been connected to one of the canonical servers
Lunar_Lander:  that dosent make a lot of sence. ;)
sense either. ;) or cents..
hm yea
well I am running this balloon tracking software dl-fldigi at the moment from the terminal which uploads data to the server of spacenear.us
and that "sh" line is there as a CLOSE_WAIT
sh is the default system shell. so some script may have spawned a sh process to handle some task.
ah ok
I'll ask the developers if they know it
thanks!
Jordan_U: i proceeded with wubi.exe. it asked to be restarted. it gave few errors then. and i now have an u
i cant believe
i have an ubuntu desktop :)
this is sorcery :)
eyastaifour: Great. How familiar are you with the terminal?
a little bit familiar, i can manage around
tell me guys
something is saying "copying files"... and i really want to make sure i dont install my stuff on the windows partition
synaptic and apt-get in terminal, it's the same, but if I use both i find some errors in my OS by time
eyastaifour:  wubi uses a file obn the winedows drive as a virtual hard disk..
dr_willis: offtopic question: it is using this virtual hard disk file just for encapsulating its stuff.. its not an automagical type I hypervisor, right ?
eyastaifour: OK. Please find the exact path to the Ubuntu iso (or move it to a simple path, such as the root of your Windows partition) and then tell me the path. You can access your Windows partition via /host/ .
eyastaifour:  wubi boots into  linux same as a hd install would. only uses that disk file instead of a real disk.
eyastaifour: Correct, no virtualization is going on.
its on c:
sorry, its on c:\ub
but i dont have a terminal open.. just a window with the title "install", some pretty graphics, and a progress bar for "copying files"
eyastaifour: We need the exact path including filename so that we can configure grub to use it.
ok, the ISO's path is: C:\newub\ubuntu-12.04.1-desktop-i386.iso
may be a good idea to move it to C:\ and give it a shorter name. ;) but its been a whild since ive set up grub2 to boot a iso.
eyastaifour: What is the output of "ls -l /host/newub/ubuntu-12.04.1-desktop-i386.iso"?
Can someone help me I have xubuntu and I tried to play a dvd and when I do this message comes up "Could not read DVD. This may be because the DVD is encrypted and a DVD decryption library is not installed."
Jordan_U: i dont have terminal access yet.. the machine ended the wubi part, restarted, copied stuff
and i just loaded now. I have grabm with two options (#2 is recovery mode). i ll go for #1
eyastaifour: OK. I'll be away for a few minutes, but I will be back.
Jordan_U: cool.. i just made it to the logon page, and it seems that im in  (slow machine)
The_Matrix:  theres some package/script you install then run - to get the dvd stuff enabled. (been ages since ive used it)
dr_willis how do I install them?
having issues with my network manager
for some reason it connects
but fails to associate the key that i entered
The_Matrix:  the url the bot gave.... has details
and for some reason i have to iwconfig wlan0 key xxxxxxx for the internet to work correctly
mouse is not acting nice at all. i can move it, but the display wont refresh . i also cant click
this is trackpad. i also tried a USB mouse
is there a shortcut i can press to open a terminal ?
anyone have any ideas.... could i just reinstall the network manager
ctrl alt t
for terminal
thanks. not working with me.. display is very strange, everything is overlayed and nothing refreshes
i ll boot in recovery mode
u cant opena terminal with control alt t?
rephy222: i dont know.. its a display issue - something flashed when i did ctrl alt T, but no terminal appeared
eyastaifour:  is it a fresh install of ubuntu or something
fresh install, on the oldest hardware you could imagine. a laptop  i bought in 05 i guess
but things are cool now in failsafeX mode :)
eyastaifour:  what version
eyastaifour: You might want to go with Xubuntu or Lubuntu then.
anyone know what the package that deals with network connections is
the wireless network manager or something
rephy222, whats the error
Jordan_U: i can access /host/newub - and I see the ISO there
Hi
rephy222: 10.04-1
Why do i get
Jordan_U: cant wait to download yet another ISO file.. i ll give this a shot
eyastaifour: OK, just be aware that you'll probably have the same graphics problems after installing Ubuntu normally as well.
Taskel: aptitude failed 100
Jordan_U: but i ll be able to use FailsafeX as well, correct ?
eyastaifour: Yes.
awesome. so i have my terminal, and i can browse to the ISO
??
??
anyone
eyastaifour: Oh, one thing I should have asked much earlier. How much RAM do you have?
I have 1.5 I think
my net keeps connecting and dissconnecting for some reason
Is there an Ubuntu package equiv. to Fedora's kernel-modules-extra package? Something that provides xpad.ko is what I'm after.
seems to be in the generic kernel   package.
Hrmm!
rephy222: network-manager-gnome I would expect... but that sounds more like a driver/device issue.
/lib/modules/3.5.0-10-generic/kernel/drivers/input/joystick/xpad.ko
Jordan_U: do i go about booting from the ISO now?
seems its in all my kernels here.
eyastaifour: I think that will be enough, but I'm not sure. To install Ubuntu from the same drive that you'er booted from the way we are requires first copying the entire iso into RAM, meaning that you'll effectively have 700 MiB less RAM available than you normally would.
So can I just do "insmod xpad.ko", dr_willis?
michealPW:  try it and see. ;) id think so
Hrmm! Thx mate, will try now :)
michealPW:  try a locate xpad.ko
Jordan_U: I see.. let's give it a shot! so, is it menuentries, or unetbootin now ?
eyastaifour: Yes. Just for reference, normal iso loop booting can be done easily by following http://www.supergrubdisk.org/wiki/Loopback.cfg#How_do_you_use_a_loopback.cfg_to_boot_an_iso.3F but we're going to need to change the kernel parameters so we'll need to do something slightly more.
Fiddle sticks!
i do have a small problem...
I got an error "Error inserting "/path/to/xpad.ko": -1 Unknown symbol in module
:(
eyastaifour: First mount the iso file so that we can copy its loopback.cfg: "sudo mount /host/newub/ubuntu-12.04.1-desktop-i386.iso -o loop /mnt/".
hello. which is the channel for ubuntu help, please?
i installed Ubuntu 12.10, removed Empathy, and installed pidgin instead. Now i dont have that envelope icon in the unity panel... how to geti t back
Maybe it's a dependency
goblinou: This is it :)
Like, this module needs another module inserted first. Interesting!
Well, thx for the tips, got me close now! :)
great. who will have the great pleasure of helping me?
Mike-Linux-NL: it will hide itself when there are not any apps using it, and since pidgin isn't ported to the new API yet, it won't be there
michealPW:  what was the exact command line you used?
goblinou: Just ask your question, if anyone knows the answer they'll answer (and if nobody does, then nobody will answer).
 sudo modprobe xpad
worked here
i installed Ubuntu 12.10, removed Empathy, and installed pidgin instead. Now i dont have that envelope icon in the unity panel... how do i get it back? wich package do i need to install?
ok here it goes
how do i adjust visual effects in ubuntu 12.1?
is there a edfault root password for 12.04 ?
goblinou:  which ones? the ccsm tool is the main compiz config tool.. and it can be.. well.. scary. ;)
Oh I used sudo insmod /lib/modules/etc/kernel/drivers/input/joystick/xpad.ko
haha I should use modprobe instead ?
*facepalm* I'm such a newbie hehe
Lol
michealPW:  over thought it a little bit... ;P
Can someone help me I have xubuntu and I tried to play a dvd and when I do this message comes up "Could not read DVD. This may be because the DVD is encrypted and a DVD decryption library is not installed."
Hi :)
hi :)
Does anyone know of a GUI to check voltage being used on Linux?
i need some help :)
The_Matrix:  and you looked at that dvd playback wiki url? (not been there in ages, it maybe out of date)
yea
its confusing lol
Jordan_U:  if i run commands individually to browse to my ISO, it works fine. when i try with Sudo, it doesnt(i cant even use tab completion)
i am trying to compile c++  .....
Weird
i installed Ubuntu 12.10, removed Empathy, and installed pidgin instead. Now i dont have that envelope icon in the unity panel... how do i get it back? wich package do i need to install?
indicator-messages IS installed however
Even when I give modprobe the exact path to the xpad.ko file it still says FATAL: Module no found.
:(
eyastaifour: It's expected that tab completion won't work, and that has to do with mount and bash_completion rather than sudo. If you entered in the exact command I gave you and recieved an error message then you probably gave me the wrong path. It's important that you get paths right, one character off is still wrong.
The_Matrix:  it is? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/PlayingDVDs seems rather clear
Anyone have a good how-to for installing a software raid on an existing ubuntu 12.04 server?
Mike-Linux-NL: it will hide itself when there are not any apps using it, and since pidgin isn't ported to the new API yet, it won't be there (repost)
i gave the right path. i understand.
2 lines to cut/paste into the terminal...
ill try to read through it again dr_willis lol
im now in as root, and i mounted the iso to /mnt
Got it haha I suck
eyastaifour: What do you mean by "in as root"?
root@ubuntu:
The_Matrix:  they stand out in the 'grey this is a command' type formating.
oh ok :)
The_Matrix, Generally adding the restricted-extras and libdvdread4 should do it. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/PlayingDVDs#Installing_libdvdcss
eyastaifour: You do not want or need to be logged in as root. "exit" to get out of the root shell and use sudo for individual commands that need root privileges.
Thanks alot wilee-nilee :D
Jordan_U: that's for best practices indeed.. but for the sake of practicality, would it work ? im exiting as we speak
ubottu: gee, i installed that software but i don't see any additional appearance settings
what might be the reason if I can't 'cd' into a directory? I am in sudo group btw...
eyastaifour: It would work, but it doesn't help you in any way and as you said is bad practice.
Sweet!
oh, anyone else was helping me?
ofcan:  a 'directory' has to be executable for one to 'cd' into it.. i belive.
how do i adjust visual effects in ubuntu 12.1?
goblinou:  after installing the ccsm package you run the ccsm tool... and be carefull with it.
please.
Jordan_U: the ISO is now mounted
ccsm package, right, thanks
"[21818.503721] input: Microsoft X-Box pad v2 (US) as /devices/..." yay! :)
thx, dr_willis :)
the packagte name was given earlier.. its not 'ccsm;
hahaha what do you mean be careful?
the binary IS called ccsm
eyastaifour: OK. "cp /mnt/boot/grub/loopback.cfg ~/Desktop/" That should copy the iso's loopback.cfg to your Desktop.
dr_willis: but I can navigate manually into it, just can't via .sh file... than I have somehow wrote the .sh wrong, right?
I added set tabstop=4 to my .vimrc, but still tab doesn't give me 4 space chars :(
ofcan:  perhaps.. or spaces in the dir name..
any idea's what i'm missing?
Jordan_U: yes, copied
dupondje: :set expandtab
goblinou:  there are some other 'tweaking' tools out to do some unity and compiz setting tweaks that  are safer.
dr_willis: this is my code & error; any syntax code or like that you see? > http://stackoverflow.com/questions/13204158/unicorn-init-sh-cannot-find-app-root-on-capistrano-cold-deploy/13204193#13204193
Yo. How do one tweak the default icons in the unity bar for a 'new' user?
right, i see. where is the setting for the screen saver and turning monitor off? and avoiding having to enter the password when i shake it off.
eyastaifour: OK, now we need to edit the file a little. To do that we need to be sure about the exact path to the iso, so please run "ls -l /host/newub/ubuntu-12.04.1-desktop-i386.iso" and post the output.
trism: set tabstop=4 set shiftwidth=4 set expandtab set noeol set binary
have this now, but still :(
dupondje: so put it in ~/.vimrc
goblinou, If you mess with the compizconfig manager install the fusion icon and have a launcher for it on the desktop, ask if needed to do this. This will restart compiz when you adjust it, you will want it.
Jordan_U: im on another machine :) i confirm it is there. I have used tab completion.
ok, great. another question, if i may...
right, i see. where is the setting for the screen saver and turning monitor off? and avoiding having to enter the password when i shake it off.
trism: yep its there :)
just out of curiosity, is there a command to restart processes?
Jordan_U: -rwxrwxrwx 2 root root 729067520 Nov 2 18:29 /host/newub/ubuntu-12.04.1-desktop-i386.iso
dr_willis or wilee-nilee?
ofcan:  only thing i can guess at is the quoteing of the command is keeping $home from getting expanded.. perhaps...
DarkAceZ: yes. service [theservice] restart
service?
ofcan:  seen that happen in other cases. :)
DarkAceZ: you need to append sudo first of course.
ewook processes not services
^
what I was thinking loo
l
[snake]: doh.
DarkAceZ: sorry :p
lol
DarkAceZ: that depends on the process what HUP-call it handles.
goblinou:  system settings has a brightness and lock   app....
dr_willis: so just remove "" and that's it? :)
nautilus
dr_willis: and say > run "$CMD" ?
ofcan:  test it with using your /home/yourusername/ perhaps ?
trism: its something strange really :(
ofcan:  i alwyas get nesting messed up. :) or else the thing may be calling sh when you mean to call bash.. so the variable is not set.. (seen that happen also)
eyastaifour: OK, add this to the top of the file: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/1327857/
ofcan:  have it echo the exact command and parts of the command perhaps? as a debugging trick.
oh, dr_willis, silly i didn see that, i've been in the Windows cave for to long. anyway, thanks, and quoting a phrase from Frank Zappa's Joe's Garage: Gee, now I can go home! thanks, bye, best wishes..
eyastaifour: Actually, that might conflict with wubi, lets name the loop device something else.
so, change the last line to root=(looploop)
?
dupondje: might depend on the file you are editing, I have that all set up but I still get tabs when editing say, Makefiles. otherwise I have no idea
To answer my own question... http://gabenell.blogspot.com/2010/06/setting-up-collectd-collection3-on.html  <-- monitors voltages with pretty Graphs.
Thanks ^_^
eyastaifour: Add this instead: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/1327860/
to which loopback.cfg ? the one i copied to the desktop ?
eyastaifour: Yes.
anyone know why my apple magic mouse is no longer connecting to my ubuntu?
its very annoying, how crap apple products are
linkandzelda:  perhaps they want to sell you a $30 adaptor to use it....
Lol
that would be great, but this mouse has no adapter possible lol
it was working
then i rebooted
Jordan_U: you want me to addd these before any "menuentry" ? at the top of the file directly ?
not it refuses to connect
dr_willis: ok, will try to figure out... but definetly some syntax thing, you think, right? :)
Maybe the battery died :O
eyastaifour: Correct.
ofcan:  always seems to be somting trivial when its hard to find.. ;)
it flashes, just refuses to be connectable
L3mce: dont think its a driver issue cause its been working fine until i tried installing a dnsproxy
Jordan_U: and in the Iso_path, there's no mentioning of /host/newub, just /newub directly
linkandzelda perhaps you changed some bios options. If not then apple did it wrong maybe
eyastaifour: Correct. /host/ is the mountpoint, the path on the actual filesystem starts with /newub/.
Jordan_U: ok, cool. i have entered the text
Hello
so, how i was saying i am trying to compile c++
here is my problem: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1327874/
rodrigograca31: you best bet would be a c++ channel
Ditto
eyastaifour: Now we need to add the "toram" kernel parameter to the menu entries. We're going to be using the "Try Ubuntu without installing" entry, but lets modify both it and the "Install Ubuntu" entries (but not the "Check disc for defects" or "Test memory" options).
rodrigograca31: Don't use gcc to compile, because that won't work for C++ programs (it's C only). Use g++ instead, which is the C++ version of GCC.
eyastaifour: To add the "toram" kernel parameter, simply add the word "toram" between "splash" and "--" near the end of the line starting with "linux".
Oh lol i didnt even notice becsuse I write C so it looked normal
Jordan_U: for both menu entries (try and install)
eyastaifour: Yes.
should I leave a space bewteeen "toram" and the "--"
eyastaifour: Yes.
ok, done
eyastaifour: When you're done with that, please pastebin the new contents of the file and I'll confirm that it all looks correct.
Troy^: ok :)
Jordan_U: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/1327885/
frxstrem: humm i did not knowed that
eyastaifour: You followed my directions correctly, but to I realized that "search --set --file $iso_path" should actually be "search --set=root --file $iso_path" so please change that and we're done modifying the file.
Cheese will not record video. Any suggestions?
frxstrem: Thanks!
rodrigograca31: no problem :)
frxstrem: g++ worked :)
Jordan_U: alright :) all set http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/1327892/
eyastaifour: Great, now save the file and run "sudo cp ~/Desktop/loopback.cfg /boot/grub/custom.cfg".
the file is apparently readonly ...
i'll copy/paste it in a new file, then do the copying
Jordan_U: great, file copied
eyastaifour: Now reboot and you should see the new entries in the grub menu, select the "Try Ubuntu without installing" option and come back here (there is one more step before you can actually run the installer).
Jordan_U: Great, thanks. will be back in a few
eyastaifour: You're welcome.
noone4, stop trying DCC connect with me, thanks/
I've tried to install MATLAB on a mounted harddrive (not same as OS). Now I  get "unable to execute /usr/local/bin/matlab: Permission denied" even if try to start it with sudo? Any ideas.
maybe it's mounted noexec
someuser: First, running commands with sudo unless you know that it needs, and was designed to be safe to run with, root permissions is a bad idea. You shouldn't just run things as root whenever you get a permissions denied error.
Jordan_U: the machine booted, but i only see a mouse cursor on a black background. i dont see disk activity (the LED) flashing either,, could it be X failing me again? or should i give it few more minutes ?
Jordan_U: I know. Just trying to emphizes it's wierd.
someuser: Please pastebin the output of "mount".
someuser: you haven't got permissions to run it
Ubuntu 12.04 ... I copied my smb.conf from my 10.04 machine which was working just fine. Basically inside one of my shares I symlink to another location. It all worked before but now it doesn't
someuser: if it's a removable drive, that won't work
I run unity. Can anyone recommend an app or something that will display performance stats?
someuser: If you know, then why did you try to run matlab as root?
someuser: you almost certainly have it mounted noexec
gordonjcp: It's a permenet hardrive
gordonjcp: How to I check if its moutned noexec?
someuser: run 'mount'
someuser: run 'mount'
/dev/sdb1 on /media/storage type ext4 (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev)
I can follow any other directory in my share, but can't even see the symlinks
I see.... hehe
someuser: Bingo :). Add an fstab entry for that partition, or if you already have an fstab entry remove the "noexec" option.
Damnit that was stupid of me thanks
eyastaifour: It probably is X failing again. How did you get around that the first time?
anyone?
Jordan_U: when i booted in grub the first time, i only had 2 menu entries. i picked the recovery mode one (2). i was presented with a small interface that allowed me to run FailSafeX. I chose this option, then his return
how can i install Ubuntu on MacBook Pro
just installed ubuntu last night. How can I get middle-click to allow me to scroll up/down web pages?
Jordan_U: do i restart into that running configuration, maybe to edit the custom.cfg or some other file ?
hi guys, i've just installed windows 8 onto a system that was previously running only ubuntu, i've booted into ubuntu and everything works fine, however windows won't boot
it gives me EUFI file not found errors
can i easily convert my boot to be mbr style instead of eufi ? Is that the issue?
eyastaifour: Unfortunately I don't think that the LiveCD has a similar recovery mode option, though we do have some options none the less. Can you get to a terminal with ctrl+alt+F1?
Jordan_U: Ctrl Alt F1 yields a terminal
how can i install Ubuntu on MacBook Pro
thanks
eyastaifour: Does the file /etc/X11/xorg.conf.failsafe exist?
Jordan_U: no
eyastaifour: And can you connect to the internet from within Ubuntu? (was it a Windows specific networking problem or more general?)
it was windows specific, since i was able to use pastebin few moments ago (that made me very ahppy :))
ohai
Jordan_U: i'm really thankful for your assistance in the past hour or so..
eyastaifour: "wget http://jordanu.dyndns.org/tmp/xorg.conf.failsafe" then "sudo cp xorg.conf.failsafe /etc/X11/xorg.conf".
eyastaifour: No problem, it's an interesting quest :)
Jordan_U: im not on the network now.. is it OK if I reboot into what was working, download the file somewhere ?
eyastaifour: Yes, whatever is the easiest way for you to get the file.
Jordan_U: /isodevice now is what was /host few moments ago, right ?
eyastaifour: Yes.
eyastaifour: Another option would be to mount your Wubi root.disk and copy the Xorg.conf from there, no reboot required.
Jordan_U: let's try your last suggestion. FailSafeX is not working anymore. it claims it couldn't create a lock on a file that doesnt exist, and that gdm is not run....
eyastaifour: lightdm is what Ubuntu currently uses by default, not GDM.
anyone here use deluge?  I can't seem to be able to figure out how to even get it started!  I'm installing the webui version and I don't know to 'connect'
so, i m restarting - selecting grub's "try before installing". and now I need to mount my wubi root.disk - how do i mount it ?
Jordan_U: i found something in /isodevice/ubundu/disks/root.disk
anyone else having issue swith certain youtube videos not playing but others do?  Specifically in chrome?  In firefox the colours are all inverted
if I don't listen to "Apples" by Delhi2Dublin soon I'm gonna freak out
eyastaifour: That's the file. So just "sudo mount -o loop /isodevice/ubundu/disks/root.disk /mnt/" and then "sudo cp /mnt/etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf".
Hi, I accidentally closed a terminal window running apt-get install before it was finished, and now any apt operations result in "unmet dependencies", and it looks like the main package that is causing the issue is libc6.
Is there any way I can "reset" apt-get?
Archio yes, what happens when you run apt-get install -f
do bad blocks mean lost data?
im not awesome at ubuntu, but seeing as nobody has answerd yet... try  apt-get clean  ?
Smackbook: not nescessarily.
Archio: This doesn't 'reset' apt-get, but try "sudo dpkg --configure -a && sudo apt-get -f install".
Jordan_U: great, how can i get back to X after copying the file ?
ok, well someone answered as i did =)  ... i'll stand back =)
cornernote: Archio: "apt-get clean" will *not* help.
Smackbook: they often can indicate a failing hard drive which will result in lost of data.
@melkor Tried that, I get some "locked by another process" errors ending in "E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)"
ok, thanks Jordan_U for clarifying
Jordan_U: i did a PS aux | grep X
found it, killed it, and now i have a GYIUI
And @Jordan_U Using "sudo dpkg --configure -a" results in errors ending in "Errors were encountered while processing: man-db libc6-dev"
Archio: there is a lock file, but are there any apt-get processes running?
eyastaifour: Great. Now we need to unmount your Windows paritition so that we can install Ubuntu. "sudo umount /mnt/ && sudo umount /isodevice/".
@melkor I don't think so, since I closed the terminal window. I just verified there aren't by "ps aux | grep apt-get"
Jordan_U: but whenever i enter my password in the GUI, the screen goes black for a second, a small sound plays, and i'm offered with the logon screen again
Archio: usually "sudo apt-get install -f" works for me though it has been awhile.
eyastaifour: And if "sudo umount /isodevice/" says that the device is busy, please post the output of "sudo losetup -a".
Jordan_U: at first, it wouldnt logong using any of my credentials. so i went back to terminal and created a user, and assigned a password to it
eyastaifour: That was the wrong thing to do, you need to use the liveCD user to install Ubuntu.
hello
i'd like to know which are the kernel modules for adb
@melkor This is the output I get from "sudo apt-get install -f": http://paste.ubuntu.com/1327975/
Jordan_U: sorry, it was based on assumptions. i'm restarting again into "try ubuntu" menu
eyastaifour: Don't do that yet.
eyastaifour: I'm trying to figure out it creating another user would actually cause a problem.
sireangelus2_, adb ?
adb
it's the android debug clien
t
Jordan_U: but i thought we were booting the ISO now, and it's all in RAM, so a restart would refresh it all...
hello?
i've got an SSD (my os drive on my server) which is having problems, trying to run apt-get upgrade or dpkg-reconfigure drops the drive into RO mode and then any sudo command gives IO errors and seg faults.  I have to REISUB to even reboot it.  badblocks finds 41604028 bad blocks.  is my drive dying?

HI best friends. I want to set up my mouse buttons but it says to edit xorg.conf but it does not exist. Where is it?
hello leftyb
Smackbook, yep
eyastaifour: Yes it will, I was just hoping to save time by not needing to do the Xorg.conf copying again. Though we might as well restart just to be safe.
Smackbook, check the smart status in the disk utility
anyone else having issue swith certain youtube videos not playing but others do?  Specifically in chrome?  In firefox the colours are all inverted
if I don't listen to "Apples" by Delhi2Dublin soon I'm gonna freak out
psusi: interestingly, the smartstatus overall helath test is PASSED
con-man: With Ubuntu 12.04 and Nvidia drivers?
Jordan_U: so, i now have  a GUI - logon screen, asking for a username
psusi: which i dont understand
are there any reallocated, unrecoverable, or pending sectors?
Jordan_U, how'd you guess?
con-man, on what hardware are you on?
eyastaifour: Username "ubuntu", blank password.
sireangelus2_, Ubuntu 12.04 and nVidia x275
Smackbook, what is the exact badblocks command you ran?
con-man: It's a known bug with VDPAU.
frack
Jordan_U, options? if any?
Ubuntu 12.04 ... I copied my smb.conf from my 10.04 machine which was working just fine. Basically inside one of my shares I symlink to another location. It all worked before but now it doesn't
I can follow any other directory in my share, but can't even see the symlinks
con-man: http://askubuntu.com/questions/117127/flash-video-appears-blue see the accepted answer there.
psusi: sudo badblocks -sv /dev/sda
psusi: i dont knwo how to tell about those other stats
Smackbook, they are listed in the SMART status
ok, quick question: i have things that need 64 bit to compile, and some that need 32 bit to compile
is there any way to do both from one install? without running a VM
Jordan_U: the only file that I needed to copy was /etc/X11/xorg.conf.failsafe, correct ?
@Jordan_U I tried "sudo apt-get install -f", but I'm getting this error: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1327975/
Anyone have a good recommendation for a torrent client for a headless server?  Maybe something with a web gui interface?
eyastaifour: Yes, copying it to /etc/X11/xorg.conf.
psusi: http://pastebin.com/zqX2AqWR
PatrickC|Studyin, you can run 32bit programs on a 64bit system, but if you are compiling from source, it should compile to whichever you are running
psusi: i dont know what of that output is results vs settings
psusi: the stuff i have to compile won't compile on 64 yet
but some of the stuff will only compile on 54
64*
subman: use deluge
subman: has a great webui
Jordan_U, cheers bro that fixed the inverted colours issue in firefox. Chrome issue still happens though
Smackbook, Tried deluge, couldn't figure it out.
sireangelus2_, any ideas
subman: really? your other options are transmission and rtorrent.
sireangelus2_, got the inverted colours issue resolved by Jordan_U's suggestion.  So firefox works now.  But chrome still isn't loading some videos
what is nvidia x275?
Smackbook, yup, got it installed but then this connection window came up.  Never knew what it wanted.
sireangelus2_, my video cards
so does anyone have a suggestion?
Smackbook, looks like your drive has some pretty bad firmware and isn't reporting most of the usual smart attributes... certainly does have a bunch of uncorrectable errors logged though so yea, looks like it is hosed... may just be some kind of transient corruption though that a full reformat may fix
PatrickC|Studyin, what kind of stuff is it?  any program worth a salt should compile on 64 bit
Smackbook, the default was local host but what was it looking for?
blackshirt: thanks for giving me a link explaining what samba is. Unfortunately, thats not my issue and not a solution to the problem.
hey there anyone available to help?
psusi: https://github.com/openwebos/build-desktop
subman: there is the actual daemon that does all the work, and the web thingie, the conection window (in the webui) lets you start and stop the daemon, if there was nothing listed in that window i dont know what to tell you, i'm no expert and it was a PITA to set up, but works really well since then
hello
Smackbook, tell me about it; I want a raise ;/
Smackbook, yup, pita sounds about right.  Very poor docs as well.  Gave up.
I'm trying to configure my mouse buttons. Internet says to edit xorg.conf. Is this correct or are there new methods?
daemon: ;)
:)
psusi: is there a way to tell if my data is corrupted or if I could do a disk image copy to another drive?
use binary drivers
PatrickC|Studyin, says it supports 64bit
psusi: whoa.. must be new
hmm.. it supports 12.04 x64.. wonder about 12.10
Smackbook, your data is corrupted, you will need to restore from backup
how would I install kompozer on Xubuntu 12.10?
Smackbook, In the future, I would never recommend that to anyone.
help, I'm trying to login to Ubuntu on a usb bootable but for some reason it asks for a login
and I didn't setup any accounts - it doesn't make any sense
Smackbook, if you can mount it with another system and copy anything off, you are lucky
subman: i forgot how much work it was, and according psusi i'm about to get to do it all over again
psusi: i am booting off of it
help
and its running fine until i do certain things
Smackbook: Stop running from it. Boot from a LiveCD/USB.
Smackbook, if you don't have a recent backup, mount annother disk and try to copy off anything important
Smackbook: Do you have backups of your data?
help
anyone?
:(
Smackbook, good luck with that one!
hello leanman
Jordan_U: its a file server, all the data is on a raid array seperate from the OS drive.  so no, can you even backup the OS drive?
hey!
Smackbook, but thanks for the other suggestions!
will do
subman: avoid rtorrent, try transmission
Jordan_U: i cant get into GUI. can we proceed in text mode ?
Smackbook: If all the data is on a separate array, then why not just trash the drive and re-install?
Smackbook, I've had some success with rtorrent but never tried transmission
eyastaifour: No, the Desktop CD's installer needs to run in X.
blackshirt are you available?
Jordan_U: it said "please wait one minute for the display to refresh. i pressed on OK". I'm now presented with a screen that reads many things in brown, and say [OK]
Jordan_U: well I guess thats my only option but it took me a good month of struggling to get the mdadm set up and smartmon and scripts to email me on smart failures, and not to mention setting up the headless torrent thing subman is talking about, not to mention however many other things I'm not even remembering
eyastaifour: Can you pastebin your current /etc/X11/xorg.conf?
leanman,yes
not to mention other things I ironically mention ;p
blackshirt: do you have any useful help or information you can provide with regards to my issue?
Jordan_U: should I press Ctrl Alt something to have a GUI console ? :)
And it's true! Rhythombox Out of the box on a new install will still crash after every. single. FLAC file.
Nice to know that we can keep that bug for... 2 years+ now?
blackshirt: great!, well - its simple really I hope. I need to utilize Ubuntu on a USB bootable but for some reason I get a login screen
Jordan_U: i'm most concered about geting my mdadm working again
Smackbook: Not knowing how to rebuild your server in the case of a failure means that you didn't plan well. Keep that in mind for the future.
leftyb, sorry guys, i left out this channel while time, what the problem is?
But hey, at least I can't manually quit it... it only closes whenever I don't want it too!
blackshirt: how do I even login when no accounts were setup
How can I turn off the automatic log out?
leanman, can you more detail please,
Ubuntu 12.04 ... I copied my smb.conf from my 10.04 machine which was working just fine. Basically inside one of my shares I symlink to another location. It all worked before but now it doesn't
I can follow any other directory in my share, but can't even see the symlinks
What is the command for Workspace switcher?  Like, I want to create a custom shortcut for "super+s" which uses only one key, what command would I use?
please don't give me a link explaining what samba is
Smackbook: If you have another drive as large or larger than the failing one you can try to use GNU ddrescue (*not* the similarly named but much inferior dd_rescue) to image the drive.
leftyb, symlink for shares ?
within a share I made a symlink to a directory in a different directory ... it used to work on 10.04
akasha: any update?
Jordan_U: well i try to take notes on the process but that doesn't mean it wont be a struggle the second time around.  and when you are fighting problems non stop by the time you try 9 things before something works it becomes a mess in your head.  And I JUST got it working smoothly and was starting to relax.  This is the first and maybe last time ill ever trust an SSD
leftyb, i try reconfigure your problem... Are you working on new fresh ubuntu system now
?
Jordan_U: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/1328010/
blackshirt: I didn't do anything special, I just created a usb bootable, the first time ubuntu started up just fine. But after the 2nd time, ubuntu requests a login
Jordan_U: i have used ddrescue before i might try that, but thats why i was asking if my data was actually corrupted
blackshirt: as far as this troubleshooting is concerned, yes
Jordan_U: those are the contents of /etc/X11/xorg.conf
leanman, what are you trying to setup?
I just want to use the image burner software that comes prepacked in ubuntu
leanman, user ubuntu with blank password?
that doesn't work for some reason
akasha: were is ungga?
I get a red symbol above the username box
Smackbook: If ddrescue recovers everything, then your data is probably safe (be sure to fsck after recovery). If it doesn' then there is a chance that some files will be corrupt.
Smackbook, you should have backups and a disaster recovery plan
if i upgrade my cpu from dual core to 8 core cpu will i have to reinstall ubuntu?
eyastaifour: What happens if you run "sudo service lightdm restart"?
AMDAthlon, no
psusi: can you even back up an OS drive?  how would you restore that?
dataholic: im still trying to learn ubu
leftyb, check the symlinks, is still there?
Smackbook, I prefer dump or tar
:/
& if i move my harddrive to another computer will ubuntu still boot?
blackshirt: of course it is
How can I get rid of Unity nd go back to a standard Gnome desktop on 12.10?
Jordan_U: im presented with a screen saying that i m running in low graphics modee. I select OK
psusi: ive never tried to back up the /, i mean how would that even work half the folders are virtual (proc...others)
eyastaifour: Great. Can you get to the normal Ubuntu desktop from there?
leftyb, some error for guide
Smackbook, I use LVM On my servers and have a cron job make a snapshot each night and dump it to a backup drive
blackshirt: huh?
Jordan_U and then, it goes back to text mode, with some text on a black background. appended with [OK]
Jordan_U: it says: starting configure network device [OK] <CRLF> starting configure network device security [OK]
psusi: your OS is on LVM partition?
leftyb, if it doesn't work, i guess some error throwed to you
Smackbook, you only backup what's actually on the drive, you either explicitly exclude mount points like /sys, /dev, and /proc, or backup utilities have a switch to only backup the one mount point without descending into any others
Smackbook, yes
interesting
Jordan_U: the last line reads Stopping enable remaining boot-time encrupted block devices [OK]
man linux is a harsh mistress
;)
Smackbook, also if it is an important server that you don't want going down, put it on a raid
psusi: fortunatly my important data is on raid
Linux is a cuddly bear, Smackbook ;)
Linux is a broadword, you can hack down problems, or cut your foot off ;)
does ubuntu have a mascot?  Like tux for linux?
human beings
hthompson: The "Circle of Friends"
hthompson: yeah a little funny circle thing with some half circles cut out
genii-around: is that what that thing is?
Smackbook: Yes.
Smackbook: that's logo not mascot!
i was just kidding
Smackbook, why did you put the OS on an SSD?
psusi: why not?  i thought by now they should be trustworthy, and make bootup faster etc
hthompson: All Linux have the penguin for a mascot.
Smackbook, who cares about bootup on a server?  it's alway son
true
hehe
Ubuntu 12.04 LTS on new Lenovo X1 Carbon laptop:  I have a mini-display port to HDMI cable going into my 1080 LCD.  When I use Fn F7 to switch between 1. laptop only, 2. laptop and TV, and 3. TV only - 2 and 3 do show up on the TV, but the resolution seems to be slightly greater than 1920x1080 so I can't see my top and bottom bar, but only barely.  Any idea why my on-board graphics would be doing this?  Any workarounds to hard-code
the 1920x1080 resolution?  Help!
psusi: are SSDs considered less reliable?
genii-around: oh ok.  They should do small variants of tux then.  I think it would be cool.  Like have tux with circle of friends tattoo
Smackbook, not neccesarily, but all drives fail
that's why you have backups
Don't SSDs have a limited number of read/write cycles? I guess technically even mechanical drives have a limited number, taking into account wear/tear. Meh.
Backup > *
Jordan_U: apologies for overclogging your bandwidth.. i m wondering - any recommendations ?
naw, regular drives don't really take wear and tear from read/write, more from turning on/off
useless, as usual
michealPW, The basic rhetoric is ssd have as long a life as a disc drive.
now at least
mm, so really it's best to just leave a PC running then? I mean, it seems like power on/off seems to kill everythign the most, esp. monitors..
so should I replace this with another SSD or not a regular drive?
wilee-nilee, depends... if you are doing a LOT of writes, can shorten it considerably
HEH might aswell leave it all on. Sure cuts down on boot-time (rofl)
If no moving parts in ssd why not longer
e nada funciona.
Smackbook, I don't see any reason to have the OS on an SSD in a server, especially one that isn't raided
leftyfb, you just tell useless as usual, it makes no sense for solving the problem
Smackbook, I usually use a 4 drive raid5 or raid10 and just put the whole thing on that
psusi, That is not necessarily true but if I had a ssd I would limit the writes, at least that is what some of the experts have said.
 I was just thinking about buying a used server off eBay. I mean, you can get a rippin' little home server for backups (raid, redundancy for the win!) for like $200 hehe
seems like it should be though psusi
wilee-nilee, that's why they say it... the more writes, the faster it wears out...
psusi: heh no room for that, i have 8 drives already in my case for my raidpool
not counting OS
Smackbook, so put the OS on those
In a small, cool looking rack-mountable server case you can toss in your closet or something and have all your computers in your house dump backups to it
SSD's rock.  Period.  Let's talk about Ubuntu
And you wont have to worry :P
and from what I had read when setting the server up OS on raid only like very recently became possible and is really tricky
psusi, I will agree to disagree, I have looked at this on the web a awhile back, the basic consensus is that a modern ssd can take as many as a disc HD. ;)
Smackbook, not really
wilee-nilee, for typical desktop usage, yes.. hence, why I said if you are writing to it A LOT

<bkfitz> the 1920x1080 resolution?  Help!
hello. i want to install a gnome shell weather extension so that i get the weather (with temperature displayed on the panel) for GNOME 3.6 on ubunto 12.10. Can anyone guide me?
I"ve been thinking of putting my games on an SSD. Would that make any sense? Would it speed up the loading times, at least?
eyastaifour: Can you pastebin the output of "startx"?
michealPW, if you got an ssd in a desktop, you want to put the whole OS on it really
psusi, I change computers about every 2 years and have been lucky to never have a disc fail, but I backup everything anyways.
I guess it would be a terribly inefficient use of the limited SSD storage capacity, given that some of todays games are exceeding 8gb easily :\
Jordan_U: would you like me to kill its instances, before running it and exporting its output ?
psusi: The OS, not the games? I primarily use that machine in particular for gaming, not much of anything else gets done with it.
eyastaifour: Yes, but do so via "sudo service lightdm stop" so that it doesn't simply respawn.
michealPW, the whole thing
hello. i want to install a gnome shell weather extension so that i get the weather (with temperature displayed on the panel) for GNOME 3.6 on ubuntu 12.10. Can anyone guide me?
michealPW, I just use my big rotating drive for storing music and videos
Jordan_U: i could re-write it all, but mainly it says : Fatal Server error: no screens found
psusi: Ah, so preferably it would be best to have a Desktop machine with the entire thing using SSD exclusively for storage then?
psusi: Ah, makes perfect sense. Interesting! :)
Jordan_U: is this info enough, or would you like me to pastebin it all (machine has no network, i ll have to retype it :) )
eyastaifour: Why does the machine have no network access now when it did before?
it did when we booted from the first time, right after the mini installation, when i was modifying the file to add the new entries
Jordan_U: upon restarting, we selected a new entry (try ubuntu). i never got through the GUI, so i never connected to the wireless network
psusi: I'm still on the prowl for a USEFUL low-profile discrete graphics card for my machine... So far mostly what I can find ( Without importing from abroad :| ) are really crappy or stupidly expensive workstation cards hehe
hello
sean: Hello! How are you?
Im doing great, how are you?
Me too... So, what are you doing?
perhaps you can help me
how do i install gnome common for gnome 3.6 ?
So I have two hard drives, one with windows 7 and other I just installed ubuntu 12.10
I installed it, I got to the last option and restarted
Sean: Okay
computer boots up and goes right into windows 7
Im a bit lost on how to get into ubuntu
Jordan_U: can i add failsafeX to Grub ?
Sean_, you probably chose to install the boot loader to the other drive, but your computer boots from the windows drive
Sean_, go into your bios and tell it to boot from the other drive
Im trying to have it so its dual boot, so when the computer turns I have the option for ubuntu or windows 7
hello]
hello*
eyastaifour: Does the text in your terminal seem fairly large, or does does the terminal seem to be using the full resolution of the screen?
Sean_, yes... GRUB should present a menu offering which one you want to boot
Sean_, you either need to reinstall and tell it to install grub to the widows drive, or tell your bios to boot from the ubuntu drive... you could use the livecd to just reinstall grub, but it's probably easier to just reinstall the whole thing rather than explain how to do that
can anyone help me with gnome weather extension?
ok
Jordan_U: terminal seems to be using the full resolution of the screen. text doesnt seem large
eyastaifour: OK. Do you know how to edit kernel parameters from the grub menu?
Jordan_U: yes - i just tried adding nomodeset
Jordan_U: it seems it's fixing it... not sure yet
eyastaifour: That was what I was going to suggest, did it work?
Jordan_U: yup :)
eyastaifour: Great :)
Jordan_U: but it didnt ask me to logon this time
Jordan_U: so, you mentioned we needed to do one more thing before starting the installation process ?
eyastaifour: That's because the normal automatic login didn't fail this time :)
how do i install gnome common ?
eyastaifour: Yes. Please pastebin the output of "mount" and "sudo losetup -a".
Jordan_U: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/1328054/
eyastaifour: And "sudo losetup -a"?
Jordan_U: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/1328056
ciao
\list
i havent unmounted the windows part yet BTW
Jordan_U: i havent unmounted the windows partition yet.. was too busy workingon the gui :)
eyastaifour: You wouldn't have been able to without first removing the loop device anyway :)
eyastaifour: sudo losetup -d /dev/loop0
eyastaifour: Then "sudo umount /isodevice/"
Jordan_U: yet
eyastaifour: Then pastebin the output of "mount" and "sudo losetup -a" again.
Jordan_U: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/1328059
eyastaifour: Great. You should now be able to run the Ubuntu installer normally.
eyastaifour: (Just click on the install icon on the Desktop)
Jordan_U: you're a wizard. i don't have the words to express my gratitude for your patience and guidance
Jordan_U: how can i make a donation ?
Can anyone help without an Ubuntu 12.04+LXDE issue with a black background on EVERYTHING?  http://postimage.org/image/87nz056mf
eyastaifour: No donation needed. If you're around for the next release of Super GRUB2 Disk I might ask you to be a guinea pig though :)
This was working before installing nvidia-current.
so, /etc/init.d/postgresql exists, and works, and that's great.  This other script expects /etc/init.d/postgresql-9.2 to be present and +x, so I "ln -s /etc/init.d/postgresql /etc/init.d/postgresql-9.2" - and now /etc/init.d/postgresql just flat out doesn't work, no messages, no starting/stopping of the server, exists 0... what gives?
Is there a really easy beginners how to for transmission command line program?
crankharder: Your ln is backwards?
keithclark: try, try again, try again, fail, repeat
see, i'm retarded, my ln is backwards
fml
Jordan_U: I wouldn't mind :)
crankharder, ???
Thanks again! I'm forever grateful
my ln is not backwrds
eyastaifour: You're welcome :)
sudo ln -s /etc/init.d/postgresql-9.2 /etc/init.d/postgresql => ln: creating symbolic link `/etc/init.d/postgresql': File exists
gimpy19: ^^ ?
crankharder, ???
crankharder: You want the link to be '/etc/init.d/postgresql --> /etc/init.d/postgresql-9.2', right?  Then that IS backwards!
Shouldn't sudo apt-get dist-upgrade work in 9.10?
the link is /etc/init.d/postgresql-9.2.
gimpy19: https://gist.github.com/0d8fcf074c9f4a9c669e right, so, anyways, the link is in place... why don't either work now?
gimpy19: In the ln command the first argument is the target and the second argument is the "link name" or that path where the link should be created, (with that link poining to the target specified as the first argument).
hey everyone
is anyone else running ubuntu on an acer aspire netbook?
i find that mines a bit slow with 12.10
marcio: If you don't have proper hardware accellerated 3D then things will be *very* slow.
marcio, I have a aceraspire d250 2 gigs ram it runs a bit slower then my dual core toshiba, bump the ram .
Jordan_U: Yea but it sounds like you created it bawkards to start with so now it won't allow you to over-werite it with the correct one.
s/you/that other person/
jordan wilee, you think the ram is all i need? im super new to ubuntu so i have no clue what it could be
i mean jordan + wilee
I'd like Ubuntu 12.10 to display the date on the calendar in five digits. I.e., 02012. Any ideas how to go about this?
jordan, how do i get the proper hardware accelerated 3d?
marcio: First, lets see if you are or aren't getting it already. Please pastebin the output of "glxinfo".
glxinfo | grep direct
It should say at the top either "Direct Rendering: Yes" or "Direct Rendering: No"
No is bad ;)
it says glxinfo is not installed, forgive me im a real newbie to this
No it's okay
I'd like Ubuntu 12.10 to display the date on the calendar in five digits. I.e., 02012. Any ideas how to go about this?
zsnes crashes on 12.10 for me :(
marcio: sudo apt-get install mesa-utils
That should give you the glxinfo utility
thanks im installing now
drmundo: What's the error?  What does stace say?
SnapSnap: dconf-editor, com/canonical/indicator/datetime add a 0 in front of %Y in the custom format and switch the format to custom
im having a blast on ubuntu, i just feel like im 8 years old again and everythings new again, kind of exciting
s/stace/strace/
hehe, don't feel bad. We were all there once :)
SnapSnap: you'll have to fix it manually in ~8000 years
Ubuntu has a great community, though. It's a great place to learn :)
okay after typing glxinfo into the terminal it spit a whole bunch of stuff at me, do you want to paste it all here?
michael i can see that!
Nope, try this instead: glxinfo | grep direct
That will shorten what it spits out at you. At the top it should say either "Direct Rendering: Yes" or Direct Rendering: No"
trism, The value for custom-time-format is "%l:%M %p". Do I change it to "%l:%M %p 0%y" ?
it says direct rendering yes
SnapSnap: oh yes, sorry I must has edited mine
test
someone reading me?
SnapSnap: %Y though, otherwise you only get 2 digits
chimney, If you see your posts we all see you.
michealPW: Just grepping for direct does *not* give you an accurate test any more. llvmpipe (which does software rendering) still produces "direct rendering: Yes".
michealPW: In what magic does 'Direct' match 'direct'?
trusm, the value is now "%l:%M %p 0%Y". Still looks the same
SnapSnap: you also have to change time-format to custom
michealPW: And with Ubuntu 12.10 llvmpipe is the fallback, so you'll pretty much always get "Yes" for that test.
wilee-nilee: ok thanks
bue
so since it says direct rendering yes is there any way to speed this baby up or will i have to buy ram?
bye
how can i check if I have nginx?
trism, Now it displays the time and the date (02012), but I also had it displaying the day of the week, month, and date. The day, month, and date are gone.
marcio: ok try glxinfo | grep "OpenGL renderer"
SnapSnap: you can add all those and more, see: man date; or man strftime
marcio, I would set the swappiness to 10. http://askubuntu.com/questions/103915/how-do-i-configure-swappiness
need some quick guidance, just installed ubuntu 12.10 from a USB stick like a CD - last time I tried it with the windows installer, graphics drivers caused it to stop working. I have an ASUS Radeon HD 6670. Has anyone had experience with ubuntu drivers for this card before?
marcio: As I just explained to michealPW, the fact that it says Yes actually means nothing (it used to mean something in previous versions of Ubuntu).
trism, thanks for your help
chadams: your card should work out of the box. no work or special drivers necessary
wols: for 3d acceleration? braid was painfully slow when I tried it
Can anyone help without an Ubuntu 12.04+LXDE issue with a black background on EVERYTHING?  http://postimage.org/image/87nz056mf
ok i opened gl rendering, what is swappiness?
marcio: Kernel spappiness?  Google.  THere's TONS of info on it.
ok ty
marcio, Take a look at the link I gave you.
i like lolly pops.
Well, I should be going. Take care, everyone.
im doing it now, thanks a million wilee
emacs
okay so im trying to change swappiness to 10 and i checked and its set to 60
i have to open /etc/sysctl.conf as root, how do i do that
i had a rackspace box get f'ed up such that I couldn't SSH into it, and had to restart it--  anyone know what log file to look at to figure out what ahppened?
marcio, why are you worried about swappiness?
i dont know, someone told me that it might speed up my pc
dlam: syslog, daemon.log
i literally know nothing about ubuntu and want my netbook running a bit faster
marcio, someone was most likely wrong
marcio, There is a app called startup applications, it needs to be loaded to see what runs at startup, you can turn off stuff you don't use like say bluetooth if your'e not using it etc, be careful here, the benefits are small but they are there.  sudo sed -i 's/NoDisplay=true/NoDisplay=false/g' /etc/xdg/autostart/*.desktop
dlam: and auth.log if you want to know who tried to authenticate
tomreyn: thx thx
that command will load the app, marcio
Hello, I have been having this problem for quite some time(11.04 till now). I have 12.04 and my wireless doesn't detect only my wireless network. Sometimes when my laptop shutdowns because of empty battery, when i restart it later i can't connect to my wireless. Till now i could resolve this with several disable - enable network repeats but this time i can't connect(nor find it) anyway. I'm connected from my phones tethering and looking for a solution.
thanks wilee, it wont paste into terminal, will i have to type all that manually?
marcio,  sudo sed -i 's/NoDisplay=true/NoDisplay=false/g' /etc/xdg/autostart/*.desktop
marcio, how much ram do you have?
i have 512mb
outch...
that's one old system
time for lubuntu maybe
yea
cell phones have more ram than that these days
Still not as old as mine... which btw I DID get working :-P
whats lubuntu?
marcio, I figured you had a gig, I would run lxde, or lubuntu if it were me.
an ubuntu remix with lower ram and gfx requirements
are those as user friendly as ubuntu 12:10?
it's pretty much a more stripped down desktop that does't use quite as much ram or 3d effects
lubuntu is a lieghtweight ubuntu  distro
marcio, here is what it looks like, you can install it and run it or what you have now with a gear dropdown at the login line.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lubuntu
um does anyone know how to keep a progrma running in ubuntu vps
marcio: it's different, a bit less user-friendly maybe (but this is a subjective matter, personally i'd prefer it to unity), but things will be much faster
ubuntu server (host1free vps)
okay, so which do you guys reccomend, lubuntu or lxde?
for a complete noob
M13: check the "nohup" command or GNU screen
also, i have been studying ubuntu manuals, will what i learn from there also apply to these distros?
marcio, They are pretty much the same I think lubuntu just has a few more apps.
what I would recommend is getting a laptop that isn't 8 years old ;)
hey guys anyone know how to get windows installed and booting after i have ubuntu installed on an EUFI / GPT machine?
you can install any apps needed, but you will have all the apps from unity already, I would probably go lxde, but others may difer here.
more apps than ubuntu? thats good right? lol
marcio, ^^^^^
lfactor, I would imagine by putting in the install cd and installing it
alas that's not the case :) i end up with grub not being able to find an EFI image for win :)
bonjour
marcio, lxde and lubuntu just use some of the same basic apps, but different versions, for example leafpad as a text app rather then gedit.
lfactor, so you installed windows, got it booting, then tried to return control of the system to grub to dual boot and had problems?
do those distros also have the software center? thats pretty much how i got all my current apps
what's a good lightweight ftp server for ubuntu
psusi: no, windows did not boot at all
marcio, You would still have the software center it probably is in lxde, if installed in ubuntu, but you have it already it will not be removed.
lfactor, after installing windows, it should replace grub
psusi: i.e it didn't overwrite the MBR, or write and EFI
marcio: Lubuntu doesn't come with Ubuntu Software Center by default because it's such a resouce intensive app, but you can install it yourself (along with any other software that you would install in any other flavor, they all use the same repositories).
lfactor, you have the 64 bit version of windows?
so to install lxde or lubuntu would i have to make a bootable usb like i did for ubuntu and install from scratch?
Hey
i need please about something i try to configure
marcio, you can, or you can just install the lubuntu-desktop package, log out, and log in using lxde
i configure something project and i have problem with STL
what i need to fix this?
any good short wave chat on here in freenode
New to ubuntu and wondering where i should put a new apache vhost... I'd usually put it in /var/www/<vhostdir> but ubuntu has a default site set to /var/www/  . What's the recommended location to put vhosts dirs?
ASHER1, -ETOOVAGUE
psusi, how do i do that?
what is this?
marcio, Some of us will have several desktops, I do as I like the gnome-shell more then unity, so I just install the shell on a regular ubuntu install that has unity. There is a website as well that has the complete package lists for the 4 main desktops used with ubuntu, so if you wanted you can remove a extra desktop if you wanted.
psusi: umm, embarrasingly i'm unsure
psusi
what is this?
lfactor, afaik, MS only supports EFI with the 64 bit windows
psusi: i downloaded the win8 iso from microsoft, didn't see an option for 32/64
is there a good place to to go to begin learning commands for ubuntu/linux?   I'm experienced in command line with Cisco devices but brand new to linux. Figured I'd give it a try. Long time windows user
psusi: running 64 ubuntu :)
ASHER1, your question is too vague to be answered
Can anyone help me with this problem: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=12334129#post12334129

FroMaster, wherever you want
hello!
psusi: i'll attempt to see if i can find out what's going on re 64 bit :) cheers
ASHER1, you probably need to install g++
I can't start my sesion!
psusi: there's not a ubuntu convention i should adhere to?
but i have g++

FroMaster, no
but I don't know what to do!
xangua: Basicaly, i can't connect to my own wireless network since 11.04(now have 12.04) . Other networks work just fine ... Sometimes after my laptop shutdowns from battery power, or the rooter restarts because of electricity ... or any other forceful disconect, my laptop cannot find my wireless. I've been fixing this with Disable Network - Enable network but today i can't ... I have BCM43225 network with proprietary drivers.
psusi thanks a million, im installing it
psusi
i have g++
and i run something project in ubuntu 12.04
geekmind, figure out why it is mounted read only... you might check dmesg or /var/log/syslog for errors, or the disk utility for the disk SMART status
Is it possible to do a dry-run of uninstalling a package so you can see what it will affect?
psusi: I can't do anything because I can't even mount the fs in safe mode
geekmind, you said it was mounted read only
yes, I guess that
because I can get to GDM, but I can't login
well, which is it?
and if I enter in safe mode, I can't mount the fs
and if I enter to TTY1, I can't login either
if you boot, it's already mounted
psusi, so is what i am currently doing installing a new os from my current os? does that mean my pc will dual boot?
boot into rescue mode, choose root shell, and check dmesg or /var/log/syslog
psusi: well, what can I do then?
I tried that already
marcio, if you install windows, it will take over the system... you used to have to reinstall grub to get it back in control and be able to choose to boot Ubuntu, but if you are using UEFI, you should be able to just go into the bios and choose to boot Ubuntu
deemeetar: what wifi card do you have?
and I can't read that because the FS is not mounted
rickbol: BCM43225
geekmind, if it wasn't mounted you wouldn't even get a shell
What's new in Ubuntu mesh networking?
rickbol: 02:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Broadcom Corporation BCM43225 802.11b/g/n [14e4:4357] (rev 01)
psusi: I don't know what's going on, but that's what I see when I try to get to the root shell
im confused, so ill still have ubuntu, im just installing another os on the same partition?
I just git a bcm4322, but I haven't tried it yet. It is replacing a bcm4311 (in a Dell D630) which suffered some of the symptoms you describe under heavy load.
could anyone steer me in the right direction here please: the problem i have is not easily replicated and tends to just happen mysteriously. every now and again, doesnt matter the activity i am doing, the ubuntu 11.10 i am running tends to just lock up and hang. no keyboard response and no mouse, no ctrl+alt+del or alt+f#
I also tried an intel 4965, but it suffered regression bugs as well.
i know there are log files i need to look into, but i dont know what im looking for... ^.^
marcio, If you are installing like lxde or lubuntu in ubuntu it is just another desktop environment
deemeetar: the bcm4311 failed under heavy load (I'm currently typing using it now). I have an HP Mini that had a bcm4322, and it seems to work fine, so I thought I'd try one of those in this Dell D630
geekmind, what is what you see?
noone4, please don't be trying to initiate DCC with everyone, that's a bad practice.
rickbol: well i don't have problems when connected... only like this.. I download large files with constant speed of 20Mbit/s over night and no problem at all. Just like this... can't find my network .. and this time i can't really fix it. The only solution to me it seems is to boot into windows :(
And the sad part is i need internet for studying cause my midterm is tomorrow and i spent 3 hours trying to connect :9
wilee thanks! so its done installing now, if i restart will it automatically boot to lubuntu?
psusi: if I try anything from the failsafe mode, I get the following message (similar): "Ubuntu needs to remount the system as R/W. Continue?" and I press "Yes". After a while, I get this error: "Can't mount the filesystem as read/write"

geekmind did you try running mount -o remount,rw / at the command line in safemode?
geekmind, choose the root shell option, and it sounds like your disk is fubar... you should try booting from the livecd and checking it
nope
I'll try that, bobbyj
rickbol: How can i see messages relative to my networking with dmesg?
psusi, bobbyj, I'll reboot to test if it works. I'll be back later.
deemeetar, you run dmesg, and look for messages relative to networking
ok im going to restart and try it
thanks guys!
:\ how i can fix problem with STL?
deemeetar:  try "sudo dmesg | grep wlan"  and "sudo dmesg | grep b43"
deemeetar: correction, you're running the proprietary broadcom drivers, so maybe it is "sudo dmesg | grep STA"?
is anyone using the terminal plugin for gedit? is there any way i can adjust the colours? it appears to be white on grey

marcio,  lubuntu is pretty nice
deemeetar: what, if anything, is returned for: "lsmod | grep mac802"
man you guys are so awesome, putting up with a noob like me
it is!
tomreyn i think i will get some more

Allo.. I have an odd question about Flash & Ubuntu
im ready for black ops two

I can't get rid of the Adobe Flash Player Settings box in Chromium or Firefox
lets face it guys
rickbol: elementary os luna ... which is based of ubuntu 12.04(basicaly reskinned ubuntu)
theres no PC anymore
tomreyn, i read the article, so is this zram an app?
MC is the new word.
rickbol: but had the same problem on ubuntu 12.04 11.10 11.04
UEFI mothers
marcio: the package to install is zram-config
marcio: available since ubuntu 12.04
means u cant install ubuntu on ur personal new pc or laptop
u wanna know why?
does anyone know the command used to fade the screen to black before enabling the screen saver mode??
new win 8 system come with uefi
that means no bios and no dvd/rw boot.
tomreyn i forget the command to install, like i mentioned, mega noob lol
suck on that fellas
bah
marcio: apt-get
marcio: sudo apt-get install zram-config
my guess is this chan will be gone a year from now
heres another question, when i run these install commands, where am i downloading and installing these apps from? is there like a central ubuntu server servicing all these apps?

I'm sure HDMI issues are super common, but I've got one. I'm on a laptop with intel graphics, don't have any audio over HDMI. PulseAudio recognizes that there is an HDMI device. It's not muted according to the dialog. So, what do I do?
IAS: please take it to #ubuntu-offtopic
tomreyn: lol
this is not a discussion but a support channel
off topic what?
the geek society is already screweed and u guys are still cheering
IAS: The fact that you have to come here to tell us that says otherwise. Take it elsewhere please.
Go away, kid. We're trying to get stuff done.
sure. slowly die instead.
the fact.
I kind of want to see the logs to see what he was ranting about, lol. But that's neither here nor there...what is here is hdmi audio.
Can anyone please help me get my mouse configured? Do I have to have an xorg.conf or is that the old way of doing it?
[TiZ]: I know, I just tried to scroll up on my mouse before remembering why I was here... scroll isn't working
What are some known fixes regarding audio over HDMI?
phillijw: do you have an xorg.conf ?
phillijw: normally you shouldn't need to edit xorg.conf, i've never heard fof this being neccessary in the past years.
phillijw: and what's your mouse?
graingert: no, not yet. I was hoping to avoid having to shut everything down to get one though
(not to make basic mouse functions work, that is)
phillijw: you can killx and start it again
My mouse is a Logitech mx510 which requires some fancy button mappings
phillijw: and you might be able to xmove all your windows to an xvfb

can someone help me? i am trying to use unetbootin to install ubuntu from a usb drive but i get the following: error: no such partition, must load kernel first
phillijw: are you saying the scroll wheel or scroll buttons are not working?
tomreyn: precisely. I just need to set up my mouse. I'm assuming xorg.conf is still the proper way to do it but I know xorg has changed a bit recently so I wasn't sure
phillijw: i was hoping for you to answer one or the other, scroll wheel OR scroll buttons do not work.
phillijw: which ubuntu version are you on?
tomreyn: well scrolling was working until I tried to get the other buttons to work. 12.10
phillijw: i guess you do need to edit xorg.conf - try this (written for 11.10, but i guess it still works) http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1959110

skpl113, So what was the usb formatted as?
Evening. I wish to have a way so that when I run a program with arguments, that that program and argument combination cannot have a second instance while the first instance exists. I would like this to apply no matter how many people are logged in to that user at the time (including duplicate login/terminal shells). Is there a clean way to do this?
phillijw: more but older docs here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MX510Mouse
alright, well I guess I'll need to close down my windows so I can get an xorg.conf
Anyone knows how to partition a 4K sector HDD with BusyBox fdisk?
so i'll be back, eventually
phillijw: you cnan edit it now, just need to restart to apply
restart X, that is
I don't have one to edit though :)
wilee-nilee: it was formated as fat32 but i couldnt mount it that way as the mount command said no such filesystem, i just reformatted it as ntfs, will mount recognize it?
I have to run X -configure it looks like
phillijw: you can just create one
skpl113, What OS are you doing this in?
tomreyn: how
phillijw: using the text editor of your choice
what are the chances of GRUB braking if i repartition to the left
tomreyn: won't I be missing key pieces of it?
sid|1, To the left?
ya
I certainly do not have the xorg syntax memorized or anything
sid|1,The ?  is what do you mean
wilee-nilee: ubuntu 10.4
ok so some time ago i was trying to repartition
make my win8 partition smaller
and make my linux partition bigger
skpl113, Just unplug it and plug it in you want a fat32
so i had to shrink win8's partition to the left and expand linux's partition to the left
sid|1, To the left could mean several things can you be exact.
and when i tryed to do that it said GRUB might
hrm lemme find an example
The example I'm reading for setting up an xorg.conf is telling me to run X -configure using a root terminal. I obviously can only use sudo.... is that what I need to do?
sid|1, Ah I see now, that should not be a problem other then having to reload the mbr to boot sometimes.
heres hat i was trying to do
wilee-nilee: ubuntu 10.4.4 is what im trying to install, the os i'm in is crunchbang
https://www.dropbox.com/lightbox/home/Public
oops
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/29235534/20120922_165906.jpg
skpl113, WE can't help with crunchbang, but I would just upnplu it and plug it in to mount it normally, if crunch will do that.
wilee-nilee:  did you see the pic?
sid|1, You want to run those separately, gparted may resize and you will have overlapping partitons that is not good.
sid|1, never load up gparted like that
so do them seperately
sid|1, Yes sir!
what do you mean never load gparted up like that?
sid|1, gparted may not resize exactly when you do that many, with loading up I mean have so many things run one after another.
so do them step by step
so resize windows first
then reboot
and resize linux?
sid|1, No reboot needed, it iks just haveing partitions move up against each other like that is asking for trouble consecutively
is*
oh ok ty
will do soon
sid|1, If any of those are W7 I would use its disk manager to do it. Much faster and safer, use gparted for thr linux
the*
i have win 8
sid|1, same thing with W8 let it resize itself
and isnt disk manger IN win8
so i would have to go into windows to open the app
causing the hdd to be mounted
sid|1, I'm not sure I would assume it has a disk manager in the admin account, I have a clone of it I had the release installed but it crashed a couple of times I can't have that while writing grad papers.
sid|1, Windows has a virtual partitoner since at least W7, it is fast and safe, yes it runs while mounted
wilee-nilee:  ive had bad experiences while using disk manager in win8
sid|1, THen do what you think feels right, personally I use gparted to make all my partitions before I install, with windows this leaves out the boot partition, which I don't want myself.
How the heck do I boot into recovery mode? I hit shift a million times when booting up
Do I even have grub?
hi friends im back, i have a quick question, how can i find out what version of lubuntu i am currently running?
marcio, top right corner of the screen has a power icon with an "about" button in it
phillllijw, Did ou change the time out in grub
wilee-nilee, what?
wilee-nilee, no, it's basically a fresh install
phillllijw, so if you do nothing on powering on what happens?
wilee-nilee, it boots into the login screen
phillllijw, Of what
some dual boot is why I ask
wilee-nilee, Just ask if I dual boot man... its the ubuntu login screen
excellent! thanks! and how do i change my desktop in lubuntu? i want a plain wallpaper with no icons but all i have is icons
phillllijw, Welcome to my ignore, I'm not keen of irritants.
* phillllijw cries
wilee-nilee, something bad to talk to others
wilee i told you i was new, i apologized 100 times for all my questions
and i kept thanking all of you who helped me
marcio, I was only talking to the user who snapped at me, it gets tiresome.
<---
oh goodness i thought i was the irritant :\
so do you guys know of any way to change the background on lubuntu 12.10?
I don't care about being thanked, just some holier the though when being helped is a big red flag
Is this page updated for 12.10? https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecoveryMode
then*
phillllijw, you hold down shift to get the grub menu if it is normally hidden
psusi, hold down? Hmm... that page says to "press" -- might be misleading
i'll give her a shot
that didn't work
all the screenshots i see for lubuntu show it with a clean desktop whereas mine is all icons, any ideas on how to change it? i already looking through look and feel and desktop settings, no dice
oh... I have to do it before the bios finishes loading
interesting
phillllijw, you have to do it once the bios hands off to grub
marcio, here is a background link, I will look for the reonve icons link next
http://askubuntu.com/questions/68742/how-do-i-change-my-wallpaper
you can also just repeatedly tap on the arrow keys to scroll the menu up/down
awesome. Got to the root shell prompt. Bingo
wilee i already saw that, i googled it too, but it doesnt change my actual desktop which has icons everywhere
i changed my wallpaper but it wont display
marcio, post 4 here kind of gives you the lowdown on gui's and lubuntu. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1875024
marcio, Some things have to be done from text files, so you want to search on the web with exact dicriptions to find the info sometimes, it is a great desktop for someone in your position, but a little tricky to understand, and lower on the support as well. There is a #lubuntu channel but it has like 60 people there.
hmm yeah the guy in that thread is asking what im asking but neither of the solutions are working
perhaps its a 12.10 thing?

anyone free to help  ?
Guest56826: what's your question ?
_DanN_, http://pastebin.com/7GbfmF3b
about
Driver
DVB-S2
juniour, What are you running, there are no virus's on the web for linux basically.
phillllijw: /var/log/Xorg.0.log ? anything in there ?
Guest56826: type your question
Guest56826: you won't get any person assigned ;)
juniour, Rootkits are about it.
i just installed ubuntu tweak, maybe that will help me, how do i actually run the program? i cant find it on the desktop or the start menu
when i'm opem  me tv  its telling  me  "There are no DVB devices available"
wille-nilee virus is a set of instruction i tcan be any where
I'm  just  dont know  how to post my question
juniour, Hehe I know what a virus is, there are none on the web that will run in linux.
Guest56826: how about type of the device, pastebin for dmesg or /var/log/syslog etc ?
Guest56826: just SOMETHING ;)
you can carry them though and infect a OS that will juniour
mmay be
i got from form windows
wilee-nilee Linux malware includes viruses, trojans, worms and other types of malware that affect the Linux operating system. Linux, Unix and other Unix-like computer operating systems are generally regarded as very well-protected, but not immune, from computer viruses.
juniour, I will agree to disagree. ;)
_DanN_, looks fine to me for the most part... last line says Server terminated successfully
wilee-nilee it is protected as virus didnt get the root access
http://pastebin.com/2rPRvj3w
phillllijw: any [EE] lines ?
juniour, It is not whether it can happen, it is that there are none know to be on the web, you mentioned a virus I commented on a virus.
juniour: there's no way for a windows virus to infect linux.
yep agree
_DanN_, can you remind me how to grep for (EE)
phillllijw: grep "(EE)" /var/log/X...log
wilee-nilee you know about $recycle.bin virus
i know its fo windows
_DanN_ you go it  ?

phillllijw: ati - I don't like them ;)
OerrHerks yep
_DanN_, I don't either... hand-me-down computer :)

hello, is this the place to ask for help with issues after a ubuntu install?
Yes.
cool.
I have an old dell latitude d610 that I've just installed ubuntu 12.10 onto, and now unfortunately it will not complete booting up. The screen flashes purple but then fades out and dies. I'm fairly sure there is an issue with graphics drivers, as I had to turn on "nomodeset" in the options when installing off a DVD to see the installer, but I'm very new to linux and don't know terribly much at all apart from what I've read on th
hello everyone
looking for advice regarding startup disk creator
jameyhazey1, You can use nomodeset in the kernel stanza to boot in to investigate drivers in the os
I have been able to hold down shift and bring up GRUB, and entered into recovery mode, and when I enter into the low graphics mode, the xserver log file says it can detect a screen but found none with a useable configuration, then goes on to say a fatal server error has occurred and no screen have been found at all, telling me to check a log file at "/var/log/xorg.0.log"  I have no idea how to check this specific log file!
wondering whether startup disk creator can be used to create bootable usb stick for other debian-related distros such as mint, zorin and the like
@wilee-nilee  when I use no mode set i still get a black screen, so i am unsure how i can investigate said drivers...
franzer: you can unpack it with gunzip and then run it, or pipe it to bash: zcat /usr/share/doc/wordpress/examples/setup-mysql.gz | sudo bash
helloo folks i just came up to say that it have a problem with the google earth 7 on ubuntu 12.04  dont start

does someone install googleearth 7 ?
yes
already installed
wiee-nilee thanks for the link. i've already read this one and followed the instructions, but am given a choice of running in low graphcis mode for one session, reconfigure graphics or troubleshoot the error
Anyone?
or exit to console login. not too sure what to do from here
Donnie_Darko21, I see instructions on the web, you have probably have as well.
here is the crash log

hello- I have an atheros ar9485 wireless chip inside an acer aspire one. Using the latest ubuntu released days ago every time the system reaches the desktop from a fresh boot after a few seconds the entire system locks up and i have to hold down the power key. if I actually open the laptop and remove the wifi card everything is great. i would definetly like to use my wifi though.
any recommendations on a PC laptop with great battery life? are Lenovos the way to go?

a new user attempting to install some compatible graphics drivers with "nomodeset". computer is booting into low graphics mode but i am unsure how to proceed.
install the drivers for your graphic card
narkon  i am unclear on how i can do this? my computer is refusing to display the login screen
jameyhazey1: where do you get in the boot process?
mingo, you're likely to get a better response for that from somewhere that's not a tightly focussed support channel, such as #ubuntu-offtopic or ##hardware
i see a purple screen, then the screen goes black but is still on. if i boot into GRUB the display works though...
my compiz just crashed while I was running some data mining software in vmware and now I cant get my vmware to maximize/restore to my desktop. I will lose some progress if I have to terminate vmware. any suggestions?
jameyhazey1: what videocard?
jameyhazey1: what's your hardware?
an old dell latitude D610.
wikipedia tells me it has a Intel UMA integrated (915GM) and a ATI discrete (X300)
Donnie_Darko21, Yeah I removed the 6.2 and completely removed any google earth link on my computer and still could not get it to get past a flash of the first gui.
yep  ...
wols, narkon. could it be because of the dual cards that i might be having issues?
* ArchOpenBox Note remember to self not to use ATI card in Linux
jameyhazey1: so you boot in grup, then add the nomodeset flag and you should get pass the login screen?
grub*
soon  fix will come
narkon yeah i boot in grub, add the flag but I don't get the login screen. I get a "low graphics mode" instead.
wilee-nilee use the 6.2
jameyhazey1: do you get to your desktop in low graphics mode?
narkon no, i cannot get to the login screen
narkon i get asked to either run in low graphics for one session, which ends up artifacting the screen and freezing, reconfigure graphics, troubleshooting the error or exiting to console login.
Best way to highlight text in web browser and save txt?
is it possible to pin an app(shortcut) to the desktop?
hmmm
abdostar: When I use Cinnamon yes. I use kupfer for Unity and Gnome 3 and MATE.
I was helping a friend install ubuntu and I misunderstood some stuff about what he wanted for his partition sizes, and thought he wanted to shrink his windows partition to 100GB (he meant he wanted 100GB for ubuntu). so right now it's in the process of shrinking the partition, but the issue is he may have more than 100GB of data on it.
jameyhazey1: why do you want to install special videodrivers in the first place?
ArchOpenBox, thank you
jameyhazey1: reboot, get to the grub screen, press F6 and make sure nomodeset is set, then boot. Do you still get a black screen?
wols i simply assumed the ones that came with ubuntu were incompatable.
what are the UI tweaks you do to new Ubuntu installation to make it better
jameyhazey1: rething your assumptions. so what have you done to install drivers so far?
narkon i get to grub, but pressing f6 is not doing anything at all.
hi, how to scan for installed OS on my system from grub 2
jameyhazey1: hum yea, follow this : http://askubuntu.com/questions/162075/my-computer-boots-to-a-black-screen-what-options-do-i-have-to-fix-it/162076#162076
arunkumar413, what is the actual problem?
jameyhazey1: go to the Black/purple screen after you boot Ubuntu for the first time" section
wols. i haven't done anything yet since i can't get to a useful stage yet! haha
jameyhazey1: so you get the low graphics message immediately after installing ubuntu?
abdostar: Lots of tweaks to many to list right of the bat.
if so, press ctrl+alt+f1, log in and check your /var/log/Xorg.0.log
arunkumar413: grub2 has a "help" command IIRC
wols. no, only after adding the nomodeset flag in grub. if i don't add the flag the screen just boots to purple flash and black
wilee-nilee: i have installed 3 OS, window, ubuntu, fedora. formatted fedora drive from windows OS. now its entering into grub prompt after reboot
qqq
arunkumar413, You can't format a linux drive from windows.
jameyhazey1: remove the nomodeset and try to press ctrl+alt+f1 to get a prompt
arunkumar413: what was the last OS you have installed?
wilee-nilee: wols, fedora
wilee-nilee: uh what?
arunkumar413, Did you make a flash drive install or a cd from windows is that what you meant?
wilee-nilee: oh, you mean format it to an extX fs?
magn3ts, exactly
never mind, I just parsed it wrong probably
* magn3ts nods
narkon i have followed the instructions but that only gets me to the mow graphics menu where i get stuck
wilee-nilee: installed fedora using cd. formateed the fedora from windows using disk management.
arunkumar413, What type of partition?
arunkumar413: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2/Installing#Fixing_a_Broken_System
wols i have removed the flag and have tried crtl alt f1 but cannot get a prompt to show.
jameyhazey1: i don't know what graphic menu you are talking about, what distribution and version are you running?
wilee-nilee: i'm not able to boot to any OS. it's going to the grub command prompt
narkon ubuntu 32 bit desktop 12.10
jameyhazey1: then I guess you have to put it in again. check for any /var/log/Xorg* files
wols. adding the nomodeset back gets be to low graphcs mode and i have a prompt up now
arunkumar413, I would run the bootscript from a ubuntu live cd and post the text in a pastebin so we can see exactly whats up.  http://bootinfoscript.sourceforge.net/
wilee-nilee: but my cd/dvd drive is also not working. that's why i'm asked how to rescue  the OS from grub command prompt
jameyhazey1: and you can check your Xorg.0.log files
arunkumar413, Or from the live cd use this app to just run the bootinfo summary to give us a url. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair
wols. sure, how would i go about doing that? :P
by going to /var/log and looking at files?
arunkumar413, HOw did you use a fedora cd to install then.
wilee-nilee: i installed fedora from cd but after few days the the cd/dvd drive is not working
how do I set the scrollbar mode normal?
arunkumar413: when you have a grub prompt, type "help"
wols. in the prompt? so i just write the directory i want to look at? I am new to linux and not very knowledgeable about unix commands etc
hello...
i'm new to linux and ubuntu.
is it hard to setup file server using ubuntu?
jameyhazey1: cd /var/log;ls Xorg*

#exit
wilee-nilee: no idea about the partition. does update-grub command detect all my OS
jameyhazey1: if it doesn't work, you'll have to purge it and try something else, gl
Narkon: X300
arunkumar413, The page tells you how to find it.
jameyhazey1: which ubuntu version again?
12.10
then ignore what narkon wrote. he has no clue. fglrx won't support your videocard
and the first thing to check is what videocard is actually used. alternatively you could disable/enable only a single one in BIOS if possible
wols: thanks
ubottu: thanks for info
wilee-nilee: i don't know the partitions, i want grub to automatically detect all the OS
arunkumar413, If you can't get a usb to boot from to get in rather then a cd you are probably going to have to manual boot in.
arunkumar413: and I want a pony. neither of us will get his wants
arunkumar413: as a hint, start with "ls"
arunkumar413: and start to read documentation: http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/html_node/Command_002dline-and-menu-entry-commands.html
wols. k. so i entered the command you said and simply got it spat back out at me? lol.
wols, I'm imagining a magic pony for you. ;)
wols: typed ls. it says command not recognised
arunkumar413: what kind of grub shell do you have?
wols: grub>
jameyhazey1: it's true the fglrx won't support it but I this seems to be the way to solve it : http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=11361011&postcount=5 ; do the last 3 commands (ignore the sudo apt-get remove if you haven't installed it)
Narkon: how do you know it will work with a hybrid graphics notebook?
Narkon: also, the radeon driver is installed and used by default. but obviously it doesn't work so well for him
arunkumar413: if u could boot from live usb drive.then u could reinstall grub from there
arunkumar413: what version of fedora did you install?
narkon. wols. i ran the three commands there that you told me and the last one is saying that xorg server is not installed.
jameyhazey1: sudo apt-get install xorg
and all the things there you already have anyways
or should have
jameyhazey1: it's important to note that you need a live connection to the internet on your computer for apt-get to work
aravind_geek, is there a command in grub command prompt to detect all the OS
wols. yeah its saying 0 upgraded, newley installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
jameyhazey1: again: what Xorg* files are there?
narkon. wireless probably wouldn't be working then no? thats all i have at the moment but i could swap to wired
wols. the ones when i run that cd command?
yes

arunkumar413: you will need to reinstall grub, updating is not enough
arunkumar413, You should be able to boot into ubuntu from there, choose the top line to continue boot at the gui and use startx to get to the desktop
arunkumar413, if the grub works is from ubuntu or you have to install from recovery mode
aravind_geek, selected update grub, its taking time
any advise how could be permanent keyboard layout in xubuntu 12.04 with more than 1 user. any recommendation in ask ubuntu doesn't work. is it a bug?
aravind_geek, successfully booted into ubuntu. now how to update the grub so that all OS are displayed in boot menu
first install grub by 'grub-install devicename(sda1orhda1)'
then update all os installed with update-grub
aravind_geek, its grub2 in ubuntu
arunkumar413, Is the HD sda run sudo fdisk -l to conform the HD, and I will give you the grub install command to the mbr.
confirm*
aravind_geek, wilee-nilee,  sorry it's grub in ubuntu
wilee-nilee: its sda
arunkumar413, Cool run sudo grub-install /dev/sda   then sudo update-grub and you should be set.
arunkumar413, Some fedora versions need to be mounted to have it show in the grub update as well.
Setting a user's shell to nologin also prevents me from doing sudo su'ing into it, is there a way I can still prevent outside login but still access it with sudo su?
-doing*
aravind_geek, did update-grub but not showing os menu while booting. it's still going into the grub menu
arunkumar413, did u installed grub as directed by wilee-nilee?
aravind_geek, yes
arunkumar413,>>>it's still going into the grub menu. is to goes to grub prompt?
where i can find in ubuntu 12.04 all Package
?
ASHER1: all installed packages?
i want install something
and i no find
the packages
i using in ubuntu 12.04
ASHER1,hai write is a single sentence cant understood.
hey
aravind_geekm, i'll try it later. now my cd/dvd not detecting
Phase: sudo -u username /bin/bash ?
hmm let me try
arunkumar413, If you get into ubuntu again run the bootscript and save it to post here or in a thread at the ubuntu forum, the script will give a lot more info on your setup. http://bootinfoscript.sourceforge.net/
overclucker: That worked, ty :)
I'm an HBO subscriber, I pay a ton of money every month to get cable premium channels.  HBO has been promoting the bejezus out of HBO GO, and google search results indicate I should be able to watch HBO GO on my ubuntu box... but when I actually open those search result pages, I get link farm spam.
arunkumar413, Is it detected by Bios. not shown only in ubuntu.
puff, try navigating to hbo go from HBO's main website?
help
joe__: what with?
Case in point, third gogle result from "hbo go on ubuntu" : http://www.webtopicture.com/hbo/hbo-go-ubuntu.html
puff: That's someones website on a google results page. That is not the actual website.
puff: http://www.hbogo.com/ Here is HBO Go's website.
puff: http://www.webtopicture.com/hbo/hbo-dinosaur-ubuntu-popsicle.html
where am i?
Phase: Yes, and hbo's hbo go page doesn't say anything about linux.
overclucker: thanks.
puff: Then you need to blame those people with websites who claim you're able to watch HBO Go on linux, not Ubuntu itself.
overclucker: Again, that URL is a link spam farm.
Phase: I'm not blaming ubuntu, I'm quite aware of how spam works, I'm just asking for a pointer to a real ubuntu solution :-)
puff: Ahh, it didn't seem like that, sorry :)
no sweat, I should have been more clear.
exit
puff: have you tried using hbogo yet?
Wow, no-one talking...
:o the horror
overclucker: No, because I can't figure out what I'm supposed to download and install.
I am having same problem like http://askubuntu.com/questions/203465/ubuntu-12-04-12-10-keeps-on-freezing I need some help for preventing this kind of issue.My Ubuntu all windows , panel get ugly if it is continuing for more than 12 hours.
I installed KDE and removed compize some other Gnome application, xorg is perhaps up to date. Even i upgraded the Kernel to 3.4 . Still i am having this problem
So my laptop can't work for long time
hello guys !
hey
any particular reason why disk access is a bit slow in ubuntu 12.10 ?
m3pow: Hello.
Is it really?
food: I wish I had a good answer for you, but I'm still back on 11.4 (the previous LTS).
since i've installed it
12.04.1 was way faster
food: My only suggestion is, try a different window manager and see if you still have the problem.  If not, you've narrowed it down to the window manager.  Try "sudo aptitude install xubuntu-desktop"
I loved 11.04, then my hard drive failed and I decided to upgrade...
m3pow, ide or sata drive(s)?
sata
HDX18
Could be a bug
could be yes!
puff, I remove compize and installed kwine .... now my default GUI is KDE
did not find any related issues on forums
default gui is awesome for me...
puff, Can you give me the Download link of 11.04?
x86 or x64?
food, 11.04 is end of life and not supported he meant 10.04
i see
puff, I think that is not problem of x-manager
I have the user bob's shell set to nologin, when I do sudo -u bob -s /bin/bash from my username, it puts me into MY home directory on the user bob.. adding -H doesn't help, any ideas?
puff, you had the same problem?
thanks OpenSource
Phase: this is you aren't simulating a login, and if you were, your login shell would be used (nologin)
Is there a way to "pause" a large operation that's been running for a while? i.e. so i can resume it later?
large copy operation*
Phase: I can't help, but if you find a solution tell me?
rlogin
rodayo ^Z
(CTRL+Z)
overclucker: Hmm, well maybe I should approach this from a different angle. I have a daemon I want to run from that user, but I don't want it to be accessible via normal login
desu: See my message to overclucker ^ I'm looking at different ways to tackle the problem
desu, and to continue it later, just start it again?
fg %<job number>
"jobs" to check currently running processes
rodayo: got it?
neat, TIL
TIL?
today i learned
Ah
it's a reddit thing
Does it make a difference that it's running from a live usb?
Phase: give it a shell, but don't set a password
overclucker: Actually, sshd has DenyUsers, I believe that would suitable enough for me
hm
you can also run processes in the background by adding & at the end (e.x. chromium-browser &)
Phase: no password means no login, other than from su
desu, actually the more important question, does it get saved after you shutdown the machine?
guessing no?
rodayo Can you provide an example?
overclucker: That seems to have worked, thanks
desu: The solution I have working (thanks to overclucker) is giving the user a shell, but stripping a password from it so it can't login.
rodayo Nevermind, bit of a brainfart, no you can't continue the process even after shutdown. Unless you dumped your memory into a storage device, then remounted it to memory after reboot.
desu, my windows boot stuff got messed up but i can mount into it on a liveusb and grab the files. there's abotu 300GB that i'm transfering to a NAS...but it's a really slow connection 1.9MB/sec so i wanna pause it and restart tomorro
i read about rsync, is that sorta what i'm looking for?
rodayo, You know how to repair a windows boot? What windows release?
probably, don't have any experience with rsync.
i tried a few things: ntfsfix, ....uh i guess that was it actually
rodayo, XP?
sry, win7
rodayo, You can rebuild the BCD if you have a install or recovery disc
i can't say for sure that it's the boot that's broken. but gparted says the C:/ partition is corrupted
rodayo, Is it showing as unallocated?
i actually do not
on boot up it says "could not find volume" or something like that and goes into a grub rescue prompt
oh and i had it dual booting with ubuntu
rodayo, YOu remove the ubuntu before this?
no i can't boot into ubuntu either, normally grub brings up the option to choose which os i wanna boot into...
rodayo, Did you try to get any help at the ubuntu forums?
my plan is to copy the 300GB of data fromt he ntfs partition, keep it on the nas, do a clean new win8 install on this computer then copy them back
say with a bootscript
ahhhh the whales of ubuntu
to the*
Why win8?
I went back to Debian and I"m never leaving again
i get a nice deal on it, kinda wanna try it out
^_||_^: I use Win7 for desktop, and have 2 debian servers, 1 ubuntu server, and a centos server
I'm on ubuntu, thinking of switching over to debian though, too much bloat I don't need on ubuntu.
I don't discriminate :D
and unity...dear jesus
desu, unity gets a bad wrap, i don't really mind it too much
rap*
niceee Phase
I don't discriminate either, but win8 seems like a terrible waste of time...
some of the defaults of it are just plain bad design ideas
eh I'll switch to win8 when I get my hands on a box that came preinstalled with it
rodayo, I tried it, I will admit it's not bad. But it's just not my cup of tea
desu, yeah but i don't think it's unreasonable to wanna try it out right?
ah i see
I guess, but I would just try it on a virtual machine, see if it's actually worth it.
im kind of a sucker for sleek and pretty UI, but nothing beats a linux prompt
haha agreed.
meh I use Win7 basic
don't care for aero
just reading about rsync, says i can just merge later and it'll only copy over files that don't exist
hopefully it doesn't lag too long on the "check" process
rodayo: once you do rsync once to get everything done, if you run it again it'll just copy the changes over, yeah
oh so i have to be using rsync to continue it later?
cause right now it's a folder to folder copy with nautilus
rodayo isn't that just the same as "mv -u"?
rsync does network transfers too
rodayo: now that I don't know (about continue it later)
rodayo, When you install W8 once all setup run the image backup and save it on a separate HD, and back up the rest as well, you would not have to do this recovery then.
wilee-nilee, good call, i'll remember to do that
any1 installed QEMU on unbuntu ?

what options are there for youtube viewing without flash? I know of youtube-dl and minitube, any other?
html5
youtube.com/html5
I know that one too
but not all videos play on html5
hmm
well
nsfwyoutube.com, but with ads
lol
I mean a program for ubuntu
ah
to see youtube
got me there
what is obottu.com ?
did they mispell ubuntu?
technically theres also http://youtube.googleapis.com/v/<video id>, I might write a program that wraps around that..
doesn't youtube natively allow viewing of content with just html5?
not sponsored videos
desu: Basically, my modem doesn't work until I boot in Windows first. It doesn't detect wlan0
videos that that partners have included ads on
well if you use chromium and adblockplus there's no problem with ads and what not is there?
No, but I don't know if youtube would see that and still allow it to work on html5 :P
I don't have a ubuntu desktop up anywhere right now or I'd test real quick
newps: I don't think I can help you  there sorry. but have you tried "sudo ifconfig wlan0 up" at startup?
If ubuntu isn't recognizing it, my brain tells me driver issue
I had some minor issues with an old laptop and that worked for me.
I'll try that next time
Usually I just reboot into Windows and restart again
lol
I left without leaving, yay me!
Phase: Assuming it's driver issues, what do I do to force Ubuntu to detect it?
newps: This is where I'm stuck, sorry
I haven't really done much with a desktop install of linux/ubuntu in 2 or so years
well what hardware is it?
It's integrated hardware
sudo lshw -C network doesn't reveal any names
use hwinfo?
hi, I am using ubuntu since last 3 months on sony vaio vpceh25. Sometimes, my touchpad stops working, though Keyboard still works. It's not the problem of touchpad.neither the clicks or pointer works.how can I fix this?
hi
is there something between the "netinst" and the "full with ubuntu desktop" iso? so i would need a minimalist install but dont want to download all the packages every time i install ubuntu.
rigo: Not that I'm aware of
isn't that just the server version?
server is pretty minimalistic
rigo: Honestly, I would download the desktop release once and hang onto it incase you need to reinstall
since you don't want to have to redownload all the various packages, etc.
rigo, the net is the base install you will have a choice of servers and desktops to choose from.
can i add the install disk as repository?
once i had a debian release was a minimalist installation but it was 4 dvd large with lot lot of packages
the debian netinst iso is incredibly tiny last time I used it
was*
I suck at words when it gets to be this late -_-
ubu netinst is 24mb either.
i just feel wasting my time with the download.. i reinstall my system regulary to find the best minimalist installation for me
BUT if i could find out how to backup (and than restore) the whole system easy i wouldnt need such thing
rigo, The net install is the best way to get a minimal install of ubuntu if that is what you are looking for.
rigo, Clonezilla ia a easy cloning tool.
is*
I second that clonezilla statement
hi guys
Model: "WLAN network interface"
Lol
My computer-illiterate sister likes to get viruses every other week
backup photos + other minimal data, deploy clonezilla
done
:D
Phase how old is she?
20
one time I told her if she did it again I would install Ubuntu on it
she did it again
I installed ubuntu on it
...She should know better by now.
lol
My muther has gotten my dad viruses on his w7 install by browsing knitting pattern sites
sorry FloodBot1 <3 u
desu_: Yes she should.. but ah well
I am getting the following error when i try to do install any package    E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
I would make a fortune off of her if I even charged half of what best buy does for virus cleanup
lol
but I don't charge family for anything like that
She's your sister. You love her.
yep
 tried the following command sudo dpkg --configure -a but it did not work
aali83: error message?
Phase, If you enable them they wont learn.
I'm actually considering getting a job at Best Buy or Staples to rob people for their computer illiteracy.
wilee-nilee: When she gets a computer again I already plan on teaching her how to avoid shady sites, etc.
probably use that Web of Trust addon, looks interesting
wilee nilee thanks

anyone know a good place to further myself as a python programmer?
I wish I could grasp python.. I can't for some rason

I will eventually
lol
I have a feeling I'm one of the younger members of this irc server...
I've been using IRC since I was 10-11, so I know how you feel on that
Now the question is: When is 'eventually?'
desu_: Soon, got laid off at work, so I'll have some freetime..
Tough man..
mhmm
not too stressed about it
Why's that?
it's just crap temporary work at a warehouse
Ah I see.
I'm personally freeloading off my parents until I go off to college at some point.
lol
how old are you if I may ask?
exit
17, but I dropped out of High School(because of illness)
So I can't help but feel like a burden.
ouch, yeah
are you in the U.S.? get your GED
I'm in the process, I have to wait for January to come around due to a long waiting list at my local testing center.
yep, know that feeling too.. I have my GED
I got lucky though, just finished the classes (required in my state) and 2 weeks later managed to get a spot at the test location
It's not too difficult, just make sure you study :)
I have been.
Math was my lowest score I think
My time's been split between web-development on a site my mom wants to get started, MIT OCW, and programming.
MIT OCW?
Yea, great stuff.
what is that?
http://ocw.mit.edu
MIT has a bunch of free course content.
Great stuff.
oh cool
mhm
You may also like khanacademy.org and udacity.com too
I've heard of khan but never actually used it, udacity is new to me though.
I haven't used udacity, but it's similar to MIT OCW from what I've seen
off to scavenge pen and paper somewhere!
khan is amazing
I unfortunately discovered it a couple weeks after I took that test
exit
oops
XD
lol
haha back in High School my teachers kept telling me to go on it and do stuff.
y for there to be a reason to go on there.
ummm...?
what?

what happened to my sentence? D:
Anyway point is I never bothered going there.
yeah
Do they have advanced mathematics and logic lessons?

Apparently they have a couple hundred videos about calculus.
awesome
I will be doing this whenever I get back home.

im a beginner trying to make ubuntu work
first of all the problem is that flash crashes

thank you and have a good day
ummm ok..
and what is the difference between 12.04 and 12.10 netinst? only that the .10 contains a newer kernel?
anytime I guess.
my ubuntu 12.04 had crashed, so i tried to re-install the ubuntu. it has overwritten my home directory. is there any way i can restore it
rigo, newer software versions.
rsv, if you reinstalled and didn't back up your /home directory, there's a very very slim chance of recovery.
this is why backups are awesome.
TheLordOfTime: i thought it will leave it
backups all day errday
TheLordOfTime: Please help me
rsv, not in a reinstall from scratch.  that'd only be an upgrade.
and sry for the stupid question, but can i install all the "old" softwares what i used on 12.04 to the 12.10?
rsv, not sure i can, since i keep backups ;P
rigo, some you can, some you can't, what old stuff did you need/want?
any software which scans the hd
and recovers files
any such software
xbmc, tvheadend, and a tiny desktop backup.
i use now lxde
Guys, is it me or youtube is really down???
rsv: There are photorec and others, but don't expect too much. How important is this data to you?
Jordan_U: it is my 3 years of work
and a GOOD ftp client, which i couldnt find 'till now.
I have a .tar file on a RAM stick. How do I extract it to a directory on my hard drive?
stercor, uhh... on a RAM stick?
rsv: Then if you're currently booted from said Ubuntu install, shut down now and do the rest of whatever you're going to do from a LiveCD.
USB drive?
rsv: And please learn from this and keep good backups in the future.
Would anyone be able to guide me through adding a Remote Desktop for Ubuntu 12.10?
any idee?
Jordan_U: what do i do now
jt1997 i use xrdp on 12.04
i sure hope it works with 12.10
I updated to 12.10, and I would like to use the built-in feature.
rigo, it should
rsv: http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/PhotoRec_Step_By_Step
rigo, unless its not in the repos, but i think xrdp is.
xrdp is in
rsv: First, as a quick check, please run "sudo blkid" and pastebin the output.
in the 12.04
jt1997: the built-in feature works fine... but it's a vnc server, and for your current session only
What do you mean, "for your current session only" ?
sorry. i tought jt1997 looks for a server.
stercor, copy the file to your harddrive, open terminal:   tar xzvf <filename>.tar.gz
jt1997: it means you can't remotely log in
rigo, its likely in 12.10 too
rigo, ^  its in quantal.  :)
gosh. thanks :)
jt1997: you must leave your computer running and logged in for the built-in remote to work
Aah, I see.
I would still like to set it up :)
rsv: Did you understand my last comment?
nevermind. i have a fresh 12.04 installed with quantal kernel so i wait 'till i mess it up. :D
jt1997: i guess the set up is quite straightforward... just go to system settings and enable it
Don't I have to do the configuration online?
at https://uccs.landscape.canonical.com/edit/
Jordan_U: http://pastebin.ca/2247853
jt1997: i've never seen this site. maybe this is a 12.10 thing?
jtthat's only needed if you're using landscape for managing things
jt1997, &
So I can't access my data from it while on another computer?
jt1997, you don't read then.
rsv: Do you know why you have one ext3 partition and one ext4 partition? Do you have more than one GNU/Linux distribution installed?
jt1997, you have to configure things in your system settings to allow remote
Hello! I ran this nice problem that PC's (usb) wlan stopped finding modem once I switched video-card on it. Might anyone have any idea what's causing it, or know how to start troubleshooting what's wrong?
jt1997, you don't have to configure landscape
jt1997:  go applications  >  desktop sharing > "allow others to view" > done :)
and he just up and leaves.
let me know what is your suggestion to my case:
*shrugs*
Jordan_U:  that is my boot partition
rsv, ext4 works just as well ;P
rsv, is your /boot leftover from something? ;P  (just saying)
yes
on the company network in my workplace i found only a few open ports. (3389 isnt open, mstsc.exe cant open my home desktop)
i have here xrdp installed i can log in with ssh tunnel rdp. but its damn slow
is there a faster way to reach my home desktop?
i need a desktop cause LOT of things are disabled by the proxy.
Some networks are found, but not the one that's supposed to, and even some wlans that have high quality, are not shown on.
TheLordOfTime: my previous installation
lot i mean fb, the large mailing systems like yahoo, and everything what wit "webmail" begins... so pretty lol.
Jordan_U:  doesnt photorec replicate my entire /home user accounts
rsv: No, it doesn't.
rigo, sounds like you're wanting to bypass the proxy at your location to circumvent policies.
yes. it doesnt sounds like. it IS the thing :)
i wont break any laws with this as far as i know... :)
rsv: You're not going to get all your data back, and you're certainly not going to get all your settings and configuration back neatly either. This is why you really need backups in the future. Boot from a LiveCD/USB and follow the guide I linked to to get back as much as you can.
Phase, i fixed the problem sudo apt-get -y install build-essential linux-headers-`uname -r`
the work i do is just boring. i have to work about 10x15seconds a hour you know.
QUICK QUIZ, What happens when you type { $sudo exit } in terminal . (Don't check it on terminal now, just guess or reply the correct answer)
rigo: I suggest 2 approaches: install a VNC client at work, so you can use that protocol instead of rdp
Jordan_U: i mean the filenames
itsme20121991, wrong channel for your quiz, take it to #offtopic
Jordan_U:  the filenames appear as <some number>. <something>
yes the important thing is that i found out the local admin password for my computer there :))
Could someone help? I ran to this nice problem that desktop's (usb) wlan stopped finding modem once I switched video-card on it. Might anyone have any idea what's causing it, or know how to start troubleshooting what's wrong? Some wlans are listed, but the one that's supposed to be found is not.
which port uses vnc?
cause i found only the port 81 open outher the "common" ports. nothing else..
let me reboot
Hello
rigo: by default? not sure, but you can ser a vnc server at home in any port
I need a book about Python And QT Programing . What is your idea ?
gr8
i just downloaded tightvnc for testing
rigo: you can even install it at port 80 if you want to
but your home ISP may block it
i dont think they will
your work will block most of the upper port, and your isp may block most of the lower ones... so you need to hunt for a port
rigo: most cable companies block incoming connections in ports like 80, 23, etc
hm
let's see what happens monday :)
precisely to prevent home users to install web servers at home
Did something else replace StartUp-Manager?
MestreLion, i am shocked overseas isp's still do that.
i live australia. our isp's don't block that sort of stuff.
and what about ports 21-22-23?
rigo: that's ssh ? i think its open
you can check using shields up website
21=ftp 22=telnet 23=ssh
i know kernelhacker :)
close them if you don't need them open.
i think either, cause i use it since august for accessing my home pc
21 usually closed, telnet and ssh are open here, but i'd never install server there anyway
and remote desktop through ssh tunnel which is REALLY slow.
Jordan_U:  WHy doesnt photorec recover the filenames
Is there any tool which does that
rsv: Because the filenames were deleted.
rsv: No.
kernelhacker: well, the rationale is: home internet service is not for servers, because of the increased upload bandwidth. for that, you must pay for an enterprise service, which has fixed ip, etc etc
OKAY
australians are lucky i guess.
n00b doubt. i got natty narwhal on a sort-of-a-server that i use to torrent and file server. the natty is no longer supported. is it vulnerable?
i didn't realize we were that lucky.
rsv: To be correct: the inode content storing the filename in the directory content was overwritten.
we just pay for whatever bandwidth for the month. they don't care what you use it for.
any ubuntu tool reads the directory blocks and recovers the files along with filenames
kernelhacker: are you sure? try shields p and see if they are really open... https://www.grc.com/x/ne.dll?bh0bkyd2
rsv: No. The content storing the filename was overwritten. It does not exist anymore.
bekks: okay
incorrect. if it was overwritten it would not be recovered.
kernelhacker: you pay for bandwidth, but the naked truth is: if all users use all the bandwidth they can, most (or all) ISPs will collapse...
i cant connect to my htpc via vnc tightvnc
kernelhacker: Perfectly correct. The inode storing the NAME was overwritten.
kernelhacker: Thats what happens when deleting a file on ext[2|3|4] filesystem.
:-)
kernelhacker: they offer 5, 10, 50mbps... but they don't except users to actually use that much... actually, they count on it
expect*
are you talking about speed of connection or total bandwidth usage?
mbps indicates bandwidth.
kernelhacker: both. at least in Brazil, there is an upload/download month quota
if you pass that, they will limit speed
everyone i know goes over quota every month. i do.
to something slow like 1mbps
do they charge you after quota? or do they limit speed?
that's right. we get shaped too. but you can still use as much bandwidth quota as you want, regardless of the speed you get shaped to.
ok, same here
some shape only. some shape and charge. some charge only.
pay for what you get really.
expensive here in AU though.
and your upload limit, both speed and kb, is usually MUCH smaller than download, correct?
some should pay extra, for chit-chat in a ubuntu support irc channel.
like 10x
that's correct.
OerHeks: If anyone asks for support I'll gladly stop chat and help
same here.
well, it is channel policy.
rigo: don't have to wait till monday... use a service like https://www.grc.com/x/ne.dll?bh0bkyd2  and see which ports are blocked by your ISP
kkk
rigo: even if there are any, i'ts usually just a few...
rigo: Then check wether vnc is running, by using sudo lsof -i
what port does vnc use?
kernelhacker: the default port is irrelevant, since his company's proxy will probably block it
yeah was just curious.
i never use vnc and was wondering.
google :P
MestreLion: We dont even know wether he uses a proxy or not.
bekks: he said so. his company has a very restrictive firewall
MestreLion, that requires opening a browser. :-p
anyone could help ?
hi
hi mifritscher
milen8204: read them where? no all applications have unicode support
Hello. I've installed Ubuntu 12.10 and upgraded the system, and now for some strange reason after I login with LightDM there's no panel in Unity
just the desktop
kernelhacker: i think it's 5900 and 5800
Aleksander, alt+f2 and type r, press enter.
Aleksander: before you login, have you checked the default login session is Ubuntu and not something else?
lowlifer_, thanks. odd ports.
how can i disable the automatic shutdown if "overhotting"? Ive the problem that the sensor goes straight from 50 to 127C sometimes, while the other sensors stay ok (its a thinkpad which have many sensors) - so I think that the sensor is defect
MestreLion, sorry I forgot to say in libreoffice and text editor
MestreLion, yes
kernelhacker, F2 doesn't work
damn, 12.10 is the most broken distro I've ever seen.
Aleksander, no f2?
odd
Aleksander: don't say so before you try mint cinnamon with an ati 7xxx card :P
kernelhacker, I know. I have reinstalled ubuntu, because previous one went mad after installing nvidia drivers on an nvidia optimus card
I couldn't undo that
even after manually switching to intel, Unity and gnome-shell didn't even start.
should start at least.
doesn't.
I'm going to run "Linux for physicists" course on my university and I was told to teach them Ubuntu
milen8204: not sure about libreoffice, but in text editor (gedit) you can change the character encoding when you open a file... have you tried it?
and I'm getting more and more irritated at this distro
Aleksander, debian'd also have the same issues.  Did you consider installing Ubuntu in a VM so as not to run into a lot of the issues you may see when installing direct to your hardware?
see, i run command line only. don't even have gui. so i have no such issues.
Aleksander: does it work fine with 12.04 ?
MestreLion, i thick the encoding is the problem but how to change it?
Aleksander, i think you need #bumblebee for your optimus >> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bumblebee
MestreLion, I will be checking in a moment
OerHeks, I know, thank you
milen8204: not sure about libreoffice, but in text editor (gedit) you can change the character encoding when you open a file... theres a "Character Encoding" button in the Open dialog, have you tried it?
kernelhacker: you don't a gui for googling about vnc ports :P
i don't reckon it's a driver issue, because unity just wouldn't start. i don't even think you'd get to desktop.
MestreLion, thanks will try
MestreLion, not on ubuntu system no. other systems, yes.
kernelhacker, how do u use it without gui?
primary desktop is debian. ubuntu is run in vm.
debian is MATE.
kernelhacker, is MATE really different from XFCE? I know it's basically GNOME2, but they're almost identical for me
is mate easy to install in debian and/or ubuntu? i've never tried it outside mint
well, yes using mint debian.
pre-installed.
correct, MATE looks (and is) GNOME2
Aleksander: that depends on how identical you consider xfce and gnome2 are
nothing like xfce.
MestreLion, it works i didnt have any cyrillic encoding :D
thanks a lot
you're welcome :)
MestreLion: there is a PPA, Mate is not supported here though
milen8204: but, really... you should use unicode documents instead of depending on codepages
i had downloaded the document :D
oh
wow, is anyone out there still publishing non-UTF-8 docs?
Sure.
how can I dpkg-reconfigure unity?
Aleksander: what do you want to achieve?
Aleksander:  that would be sudo dpkg-reconfigure unity, but i doubt it will fix your issue
ActionParsnip, I see that no matter what account I log in to, there're no panels in unity
so it's not based on individual .configs
Aleksander: which release are you using?
Aleksander: before you login, have you checked the default login session is Ubuntu and not something else?
ActionParsnip, 12.10
MestreLion, YES.
Aleksander, is this a fresh install or upgrade?
kernelhacker, fresh install
done yesterday and fully upgraded
what graphics you using?
kernelhacker, Nvidia 540GT, but it worked yesterday, before the upgrade
Aleksander: have you installed the nvidia driver?
^^
ActionParsnip, no.
install it.
Aleksander: sudo apt-get install nvidia-current
Bed real soon
ActionParsnip, I did this on my previous installation
and it broke the system so bad I couldn't repair
what result?
hello
hello meowmeow
hello meowmeow
kernelhacker, I couldn't start glx
even on intel
my resolution is stuck at 640x and I am scared to change my xorg.conf manually
how2 screen resolution GUI
?
type "fglrx info" in terminal.
xrandr
in display the only res in the dropdown is 640
xrandr
meowmeow: what video chip are you using?
ActionParsnip: something from the dark ages
my friend
Aleksander, do you get 3D render=yes?
i used to have a 256mb ATI 9800 XT pro (also frm the dark ages)
but the fan stopped working
on that
meowmeow: I have older
thanks for the quick reply dudes/dudettes
meowmeow: if you run:  lspci | grep -i vga      what is output?
i use old radeon x1050.
kernelhacker, I don't have fglrx, isn't it ATI?
runs perfect!
aye it is ATI
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV17 [GeForce4 MX 440] (rev a3)
so
really, i thought it was all systems. bugger me.
how do I add a maximum
just use xrandr to change resolution
of 1024x768
for instance
xrandr -s <size>
and afaik you need X server running to get glxinfo
meowmeow: will you please quit hitting ENTER after every other word
SORRY
xrandr -s 1024x768
Aleksander, you don't have X server?
meowmeow: the once-venerable mx 440 is far from being dark age at all :)
kernelhacker, I have broken X server
I have only Unity installed and it pretty much doesn't work
MestreLion: yes it does serve me well even now
broken, how?
meowmeow: and what is the output of: lsb_release -sc      please
I can't even start the terminal in Xes
there are no panels and F2 doest work
oneiric
tty
switch to terminal system. ctrl+alt+f3 and then install the nvidia drivers and then reboot.
use a tty?
meowmeow: still supported with 6 months support left.
kernelhacker, I told you that it breaks my system even more.
meowmeow: did you say you have an xorg.conf file in place?
lol i believe so
I'm not really sure where unity started TBH
Aleksander: more than not having panel and launcher?
xrandr -s 1024x768
Size 1024x768 not found in available modes
i'm just trying to get my 1024 back :S
MestreLion, it seems so...
meowmeow: you must first create a modeline
MestreLion: that's what I thought
meowmeow: if you run:  file /etc/X11/xorg.conf     does it say that the file doesn't exist?
MestreLion, I told you a moment before: it switches the resolution to 800x600 and prevents intel from loading
even after I X-configure and delete nvidia drivers
what do you mean prevents intel from loading?
you said you are using nvidia?
OerHeks, pass 1, no errors
Aleksander: The framebuffer resolution is irrelevant for the graphics module to be loaded.
can't use both.
do I add modeline in the Screen section?
Aleksander: Do you have a Nvidia Optimus chipset?
Aleksander: If so, you have to decide which chipset you want to use.
ActionParsnip: file /etc/X11/xorg.conf
/etc/X11/xorg.conf: ASCII text
bekks, I know and I can't because there's no such option in my bios
what is the syntax for adding a 1024x768 modeline and where do I put it?
Aleksander: The BIOS doesnt matter at that point.
Aleksander: In your case, you have to decide using bumblebee
bekks, so I need Bumblebee, I know.
meowmeow: ok if you run: gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf      and visit http://pastie.org you can pastebin the text and we can see the file. When the page changes, copy the address bar and paste it in here please
Aleksander: Then why dont you use it?
where is damned xorg.conf in the 12.10?! I can't check what driver I'm using right now
ActionParsnip: great
I am not an linux expert, I want to have rsyslog report to a bash script I consolted the website of rsyslog and here is my /etc/rsyslog.conf and the bash script http://pastebin.com/69D8kfVw , I can't get this to work, the test.out file is not getting written, I feel like this is a permissions issue or something that I have missed been new to linux, how to make it work?
Aleksander: Create it.
Aleksander: There is NO default xorg.conf since ages. If you need it, create it.
bekks, because I want to start the system FIRST, and Unity worked
ActionParsnip: http://pastie.org/5175840
bekks, jpds I want to know what graphic driver is being used right now
how to do that?
Aleksander: lsmod is sufficient to check which module is loaded.
Aleksander: lspci -vvnn
Aleksander: And look for your card.
lspci -k
Aleksander: Ubuntu hasn't shipped with one for a few releases now but if one is present, it will be obeyed.
ActionParsnip: how does it look
why can't Ubuntu use KISS, like Arch does? >.<
meowmeow: I don't believe your chip is supported by the nvidia driver. If you run nvidia-settings do you get a warning dialogue or does it run as expected?
Aleksander: it does
ActionParsnip: is there a way to try and force 1024??
ActionParsnip, I can't run nvidia-settings, I can't start any graphical DE
Aleksander: Because Archlinux is offtopic in here. ;) And an existing default xorg.conf is a perfect since of a prehistoric OS design.
hello,world!
Aleksander: Because you are using intel, and the nvidia driver isnt used at the moment. Thats why you have to use bumblebee.
s/since/sign/g
liujianfeng, hello
meowmeow: If you run nvidia-settings do you get a warning dialogue or does it run as expected?
ActionParsnip:
Aleksander: xorg.confs are a thing of the past. :P
runs fine
kernelhacker,nice name
meowmeow: ok, what driver version does it say you are running?
just same thing as Display, there's no option to change my resolution
jpds, as are grub's menu.lst, and working Ubuntu releases.
romney peaked mid-october and has been down-hill ever since
96.43.20
meowmeow: ahhh makes sense. let me see
Aleksander, i actually believe 12.10 to be the best release in years,
.
I had a partial upgrade issue and running 'apt-get -f install' results in dependency issues with libc6-dev libc6-dev-i386 and libc6-i386. I am using a 64-bit system. Can anybody help me fix this so I can install and remove packages again?
kernelhacker, any reasons?
Aleksander: Yeah, thank goodness for GRUB2.
Aleksander: there is no menu.lst in grub2 anymore...
I am still using 12.04
bekks, that's what I said.
Aleksander: It seems that you just don't like change.
ActionParsnip: what's the good word amigo
yes,tired of changing
Aleksander, absolutely no issues for me. previous few releases i've had dramas. but not yet in 12.10.
ow, I see what caused the problem.
I've removed webapps
Aleksander, best release since 8.10.
and the unity won't work without them.
I love how all ubuntus are dependency hells
Aleksander, what?
Unity works perfectly without webapps.
kernelhacker, unity is dependant on webapps
It isnt. Thats just a lie.
and you removed it?
yes, and it's just now I see that it was a dependency
I dont have any webapps installed, and my Unity works fine - on several computers.
Hi. Can anyone help me with the libc6 unmet dependencies issues? apt-get -f install does does not seem to work
meowmeow: run: gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf     and change it to this:  http://pastie.org/5175865
bekks, you still have the package
Webapps depend on Unity, not vice versa...
ActionParsnip: cheers
I do not have that package.
meowmeow: note the new subsection, that's all I added
Aleksander, just try reinstalling webapps. i can't see it being the issue.
how to open the terminal from the ubuntu live cd desktop?
ActionParsnip: need I reboot?
dash
Can one of you guys make that bot point me to how I change the loading screen (the right after the grub menu) in 12.04?
kernelhacker, I did and it WAS the issue
it's working all right now
that's great then.
liujianfeng: did you answer to me?
ActionParsnip: or can i log out?
meowmeow: if you get no desktop on reboot, hold SHIFT at boot, select recovery mode, select root and you can edit the file in CLI using nano/vi etc and reboot by running: reboot
awesome you got it sorted.
it isn't great, Ubuntu's a frickin' dependency hell.
meowmeow: I'djust reboot
ActionParsnip: great
Aleksander: Which package was it?
Aleksander, all distros can be like that.
kernelhacker, arch isn't.
how to open the terminal from the ubuntu live cd desktop? I can't find the terminal.... there is no icon for it on the left and no results on search, please help me
nature of liux eco-system.
linux
jpds, unity-webapps-service
prgmmer: can you give the output of: sudo apt-get -f install
Aleksander: Come off this idea.  Ubuntu has the most packages to its package manager.
use arch then.
Aleksander: any package based distro can get tangled like that
<shrugs>
Aleksander: Arch is even worse, because in Arch no one even checks those dependencies. But thats offtopic.
bekks, I know, I tried installing it yesterday xD
It installed a base system without dependencies
haha, i installed arch this evening actually.
ActionParsnip: sure give me a second, running it again
base is fine.
arch is a little bit difficult for me
how to open the terminal from the ubuntu live cd desktop? I can't find the terminal.... there is no icon for it on the left and no results on search, please help me
kernelhacker, it installs wifi-menu, but no dialog or wpa_supplicant
billy-, what livecd are you using?
12.10?
billy-: Type "Terminal" in the search field.
kernelhacker: gentoo is a little easier to dig out of imho as emerge can install  whatever you want, as long as files are in the right place things work :)
liujianfeng, it's source based. very different from what you'd be used to with ubuntu.
some people get stuck in the rooling update
I downloaded it yesterday
ubuntu is binary based.
bekks: what pls another lie both of you need to get lost with these ideas. Ubuntu dependency hell a lie. Arch no one checks packages a lie. AUR packages... wow both of you are fan boys. I run both and no issues with either.
bekks: no results found
billy-,  press ctrl+ alt + T
billy-: press CTRL+ALT+T
OerHeks: I will try thx
kernelhacker: Arch is a binary distro as well. It isnt source based.
ArchOpenBox, get over it dude.
Can one of you guys make that bot point me to how I change the loading screen (the right after the grub menu) in 12.04?
fan boys stop the lies
okay, gtg
Or is it not an easy thing to do?
read you later
ArchOpenBox: I used arch for a long time by myself. I know why I dont use it anymore, and I know I am right. Believe it or not. And please take this discussion to #ubuntu-offtopic now.
arch is source based, am i wrong?
ArchOpenBox: I can give you a million links from launchpad with people in dep hell after adding PPAs and so forth
kernelhacker: You are wrong.
ActionParsnip: no luck
bekks, thanks.
i am trying to add a 1024x768 to my Display resolutions
any ideas?
meowmeow: you'll be fighting the xorg.conf file til you get what you want
ActionParsnip: I don't have any of these problems I find hardware that is middle of the road and my systems work every time. Don't need a website been through the problems of having wifi cards and graphics card that I had to wait 6 months before a drive was available.
Anyone can help me with this please: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2080089
ArchOpenBox: use the OS for a long time and you'll hit some snags :)
ActionParsnip: The output is pretty long. Here's the last portion of the output. http://paste.ubuntu.com/1328699/

food: does it affect all users?
food: like new users?
ActionParsnip: you are out of ideas?
ActionParsnip: I distro Jump so hit snags all the time the last snag I hit in ubuntu was the 9.10 when they changed Amorka and I started using Song bird. Nothing hard to Google search for a solution. Just be patient
ArchOpenBox, why distro hop so much?
ActionParsnip, I don't know but many users affected with this issue perhaps who are using modern Laptop
meowmeow: you need to fight the xorg.conf file, there are examples online you can use and you can throw stuff in the file to see if it flys
ArchOpenBox: 9.10 is gone for three years, and the application called "Amarok" was changed by the KDE upstream, not by Ubuntu.
ActionParsnip: okay
bekks, not gone. just unsupported. ;-)
kernelhacker: ;)
ArchOpenBox: dude, check my karma on Launchpad. I help about 50 users a day on there with their issues. I'm quite patient :)
heck, i still run 5.10, 6.06 and 8.10!
ActionParsnip: Any idea what the procedure should be to fix the libc6-dev dependency issue? http://paste.ubuntu.com/1328699/. Thanks
ActionParsnip, your great example for all of us
ArchOpenBox: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+topcontributors   all by posting solutions for new users. I've been around the block a while :)
ActionParsnip: I have watched you 100 of times help other users. For about 6 yrs now I know you track record. I just watch you gotten lots of good advice from you.
ActionParsnip, Do you have any idea about this issue?
ArchOpenBox: :)

i have just installed ubuntu 12.04 oo,i am not getting network connectoons .can someone please help me?
chakka: what are you using for network connectivity?
:) , lol Your fast and smart. I caught up over the yrs. You direct were I like to teach not just jump straight to a solution.
eth)
ArchOpenBox: hehe like it, glad I can help dude
chakka: what Ethernet chip are you using?
not getting internet through wird connections
ActionParsnip, Okay, Doing it . Again i need to wait for at least 24 hours to see the results
ActionParsnip: It says "quantal". But when I login initially it always shows 12.04. I believe I am in some weird partial-upgrade hell. System is usable, I just can't install or remove anything via apt-get.
chakka: are there flashing lights around the Ethernet port where the cable hits the system?
i dont know sir
prgmmer: quantal is 12.10
no my laptop does not have the facility
ActionParsnip: I know, but when I login it says 12.04. My repos have been all updated to quantal.
ActionParsnip, I installed 2 external kernel (3.4 , 3.5) ... Do you think it is fault of the kernel?
chakka: if you run:    sudo lshw -C network     it will show the ethernet chip on a line with the word 'product' on, you can use that to find guides. check the activity lights on the port and router (I assume it's a router)
chakka: does the interface have an IP address?
thank u sir
food: if they add libc packages, then ost likely
chakka: does the interface have an IP address?
i dont know
ip is there
but interface i dont understand
chakka: if you run:  ping -c 4 8.8.8.8       do you get replies?
chakka: interface is eth0 and so forth
food: if you run:   apt-cache policy libc6-dev:amd64 libgdbm-dev      can you please pastebin the output
ifconfig -a would work
iai dont know ,,now iam using windows since ubuntu net is not availanble
i will check an confirm dont go anywhere
ActionParsnip: So my repositories say quantal, but I'm still stuck with this weird libc6-dev i386 and amd64 dependency issue. Any ideas how to fix the packages so apt-get will work again? Is there some kind of manual method?
sir..
ActionParsnip, sure, http://paste.ubuntu.com/1328723/
prgmmer: can you pastebin the output of the command I gave please
i tried to install driver of eth0 but while make command executes ut gives error
saying no makefile
in the target
chakka: does the interface have an IP?
ActionParsnip: of lsb_release -sc? http://paste.ubuntu.com/1328728/
chakka: do the lights flash around the physical connection
prgmmer: oh jeez, what a mess. Partial upgrades are always hell
ActionParsnip, Anything ?
my laptop does not have any lights for connections...iam able to use connections on wndows but ubuntu is not detecting any
chakka: if you run:    ip addr | grep inet     do you see an IP for your subnet?
ActionParsnip: yup, I've been surviving for about a month on just compiling stuff out of git, but some of the packages I need have about 20 dependencies and I feel like I'm only avoiding the problem and that it's gonna bite me in the ass.
chakka: its a stadard to have lights, there is one solid for connection and one flashes for data
i will log off and check it and get back to you in 10 mins..thank you
prgmmer: I'd just clean install Quantal if it was me. If you intend to get to Quantal anyway. Makes life easier
My dash broke after I removed all the annoying unity-lens(such as amazon). It doesn't find anything... Help?
Hi, I have some problems with the media control keys on my laptop. How can I reassign a key to a specific function?
ActionParsnip: Is there a good way of transferring over settings or possibly doing a "clean-install" without having to format? I already have a "dead" Ubuntu 6.x-8.04 partition that has data. This will make for another dead partition.
I'm using ubuntu live cd, I pressed ctrl+alt+F1, I got terminal only window, how to return to the gui?
billy-: try one of the other F keys
prgmmer: Why dont you backup your data and repartition your harddisk to get your wasted space back?
billy-: alt+f7
prgmmer: or just go and get another drive, and keep the old one for backups
ActionParsnip: It's just a lot of data. Would moving my home directory to a separate partition make it easier to deal with clean-installing of the operating system?
when I click on the HOME FOLDER I can see the harddisk I've attacked: "/export/hda3", but in the terminal I don't have this path, I don't have /export directory at all
prgmmer: I'd create a backup, format/repartition the whole thing, reinstall Ubuntu, and use a separate /home partition.
bekks: Are there any other directories in addition to /home that would make sense to make into separate partitions to accommodate clean-installs of Ubuntu every so often. This happens to me every few years.
prgmmer: No.
prgmmer: I never wasted space when reinstalling, to be honest. :)
bekks: what's a good estimate for the system size vs the /home directory?
in the list of devices I see: "/export/hda3", "/" and "Floppy Disk". how to access /export/hda3 from the terminal as root?
prgmmer: With 30GB, you'll be very fine for your system.
bekks: thanks. I'll go check with the disk usage analyzer. I'm fairly certain that's a good estimate.. thanks
ActionParsnip: Thanks!
when we create separate partition for /home directory is it possible to use that same partition while reinstalling ubuntu without losing data
i have installed ubuntu recently on my laptop ,but i am not getting any network, both wired and wireless .i am new to ubuntu ,please help
hello guys. need help with ubuntu relationship.. when i reboot my pc ubuntu automatically starts all programs which was ON when pc reboot
savio:  yes you can keep your existing /home/ partion and its data safe. You do need to rember to add the users back in the same order. or else your uids can getmessed up
belias:  which desktop are you using?
dr_willis: ubuntu 10.10
dr_willis, you are suggesting that order of adding user must be same
dr_willis, will encrypted home partition also work?
savio:  i always add them in the same order. or else the uids may not match up. but i only have 3 users.
I dont use encrypted homes.. so no idea on those.
dr_willis, thanks
belias:  there used to be a session manager/save session option. but ive not seen it or used it in ages.
Which is more stable? An LTS release with backports and PPAs in order to have some standalone apps updated or the latest regular release?
dr_willis: sry... i have xfce4 desktop... on gnome its working.. but xfce saved session on every reboot
palasso:  i imagine it depends on the exact apps./
belias:  check the xfce session settings I guess. i never use xfce.
palasso: if you don't want to do things like using gnome from backports, the LTS should be more stable
i have installed ubuntu recently on my laptop ,but i am not getting any network, both wired and wireless .i am new to ubuntu ,please some one help
chakka: lspci -nn |grep -i net
dr_willis: i think i've got it :) thx :)
I am on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS and thinking to stay on this release because it's LTS and it's supposed to be more stable. But I'd like to have updated apps (not core gnome apps) so I was thinking to use backports or PPAs. The other option would be to install the last regular release.
chakka: that will give you PCI IDs of the form 168c:001a which tells you what actual hardware you have
palasso: which update apps?
cannot access pci
stable is a somewhat .. well vague term. ;) the core of the os. the kernel and so forth should be very stable. but its always the little things like video drivers and some apps that seem to make things unstable for me. even then i find 12.10 very stable here.
no such file or directory
chakka:  it was lspci   not ls pci
chakka:  it was lspci   not ls pci
oops. ;P
wols example: http://www.opbyte.it/grsync/
"This version has session sets enabled" It's a nice feature. Without it I'll be using SBackup
it gives network controller as broad corporation devices

hi guys! wanna go on an adventure?
the 'addational drivers' tool may show some stuff needed for the wireless card.  but if wired is not working either..  you should try to get wired going first.
how can i get wired cooncetion to work?
connect rj-45 cable into rj-45 socket
chakka:  does the 'ifconfig' command show info on a eth0 or eth1 type device?
no such results
seriously?
it just shows a 'lo' device?
ya no reslts with eth0 or eth1
any other devices at all  ?
ya 8 other
in the list of devices I see: "/export/hda3", "/" and "Floppy Disk". how to access /export/hda3 from the terminal as root?

eth0 is the DEVICE in that line....
leftlmost column is lo
so you ONLY have a line like...
lo        Link encap:Local Loopback
it is not showing eth0 in that column
yes
 then some other info.... indented in.
i dont understand.
lo        Link encap:Local Loopback
       inet addr:127.0.0.1  Mask:255.0.0.0
       inet6 addr: ::1/128 Scope:Host
Note how the following lines are INDENTED  over to the right...
yes
that seperates the various devices.
and 5 other results
if you only have info on an lo device. then your wired card dose not seem to be recognized, or have its modules loaded.
ok only lo is present in the leftmost column
Hi folks, how do I share my net connection via ethernet but with DHCP enabled? I user the "shared" option in NetworkManager but it only works if I manually assign an IP on the other machine
ok..what should i do??
in the list of devices I see: "/export/hda3", "/" and "Floppy Disk". how to access /export/hda3 from the terminal as root?
chakka: paste output of lspci -nn to pastebin.ubuntu.com
billy-:  what list are you talking about.. and see what the output of 'mount' shows for the mountpoints
lspci -nn |grep -i net     output should be 1  or 2 lines.. i think. ;)
_deXter_: I think you need to turn on the dhcpcd daemon on your machine.
i have a problem with ubuntu vga
billy-:    cd /export/hda3
dr_willis: after I click on the home dir icon on the left, I can see a list of devices (in the left side of the windows)
How can I list all running processes in the terminal?
hi
almatrix: give details and we may be able to help
i am currently on another system runnig the other simultaneously
billy-:  if they are mounted, the mount command shows the path. or ctrl-l in the file manager shows the path
minwinpc: ps ax
minwinpc: read man pages or google.

i really need my resolution fixed
the black screen
dr_willis output was two lines

dr_willis: got it thx
i just had to boot into the livecd because recovery console takes no keyboard input
chakka: ... and those lines are?......  you get a line for each network device.. so 2 lines makes sence...

broadcom corporation device[14e4:4365](rev 01)

chakka: Have you tried the 12.10? Give it a try after using the tip dr_willis gave you.
chakka:  id definatly try it on a 12.10 live cd. that would be the easy way to get it going if 12.10 supports it.

I thought you allready upgraded to 12.10?
no it's 10.04
I rarely upgrade. it just takes too long.

Guys. Help me explain what Linux kernel does. I need it in *very* basic terms that a 5 year old can understand.
but when i updated it the screen resolution not works mr. dr_willis
Aerosonic:  its the foundation of the house that is the computers OS.
dr_willis: Can you.. uhh.. provide some.. analogies?
almatrix:  you just said you were on 10.04  you mean you Updated TO 10.04?
that is an analogy :)
no updated to 11.10 mr_willis
ya got that BIG flat lego peice you stick all the other lego peices on... ;) thats the kernel...
jrib: Uhh. I need a simple explanation of what it does.
i want to update it to last version
its the foundation of the OS. seems about as simple as its going to get.. you asked for what a 5 yr old could understand.
i hate unity i'm on xubuntu but last time i tested unity was on 10.10... do the 12.10 with Unity 6 is better ?

thx but is it worth the change
Aerosonic: You are welcome! ;-)
Oh god. Incoming question. "Is it like DOS?"
chakka:  because theres  a lot of other packages you need to install inorder to compile stuff.. i would suggest trying the devices on a 12.10 live cd. if it works in 12.10 then that will save you several hours of time and effort.
It's not quite like DOS.
How can I explain that?

dr_willis how do i make cd??
lol its funny how the second something goes wrong its immediately ubuntu's fault.
If you don't like ubuntu don't use it.
exactly.
dr_willis, will 30 gb for my / partition do good?
chakka:  from windows? theres dozens of programs to do it. you need a cd image burner app. or use a flash drive to put it on usb with one of the tools from the pendrivelinux web site.
Try debian or linux mint maybe? and then go complain on their ircs

@actionparsnip, i know all of this but i want to download it legally and dont know how because i dont think wine is compatible with upgrade asssistant
savio: but I have a separate /home partition
i have filled up 10gb /  - but that was due to temp space for making dvd videos. ;)
JasonC_: how is wine a factor here?
need help with pulseaudio, sick of seeing these errors.
30gb is pretty fair size for simply usage.  (not storing dvd's and porn etc.)
ubuntuaddicted: try:  killall pulseaudio; rm -r ~/.pulse*
@actionparsnip to install winodws 8 via microsoft, you need to install software called uprage asisstant
ubuntuaddicted,what errors?

whats the install cd?

hey- wanna try out ubuntu - got 16 gb of ram in my machine - I'm planning in installing xen on it and running windows 7x64 on top of that - should I choose 32 or 64 bit?
crusie: 64
there should be no issues with programs not working or being unstable cfhowlett ?`
i cant think of any issues with 64bit.. been using it for ages.
crusie: 64 is optimized for ram of > 4 gigs.
can xen on 16bit even run a 64bit os?
oops on 32bit.. ;P
dr_willis:  it says so on the website
RajeevGEC: it should be possibel, but I don't know the best way
dr_willis: that'd be genius, 16bit desktop PC
ubuntuaddicted, open a terminal and run , ps aux | grep pulseaudio ..we need to know if pulse is running
ActionParsnip, what would removing my entire .pulse folder do to my setup?
ok....google dint help me much...thanks anyway :)
cfhowlett: I know that - I just wonder why the 32 bit version is recommended on the ubuntu website
crusie:  idiot proofing..
crusie:  if you have no idea what your bittness is.... they suggest 32..
ubuntuaddicted: the pulseaudio service is configure to auto-restart, it will make default config folders. You need to kill the process off to free up the data so it can be removed
RajeevGEC: I would look into loadkeys, dumpkeycodes, and setkeycodes as a starting point
dr_willis: ah ofc... I'm just guessing that people that wanna install an alternative os knows these things about their pc
crusie: it runs on all desktop CPUs as a 64bit CPU can run 32bit OS.
RajeevGEC: if it's ok to just ignore it in X, then something like xmodmap might be easier
crusie: the eternal question.  Developers and bearded linux gurus can explain better than I ca n
crusie: remember the target audience of Ubuntu :)
crusie:  you hang in here enough.. and you learn that people dont want to think... ;)
hehe

ActionParsnip, Yeah already logged as that user ... Now time to wait till it crashes again ... right?
crusie:  a couple of years ago... i was using a amiga with 16bits.. :) the past is long past...
food, yeah just test a bit. If it'sok then you know its your  config and not the apps themselves
ubuntuaddicted, do you want to remove pulseaudio ? or am I mistaken , I thought you just wanted it to work
dr_willis: alright
dr_willis: I was able to access the /export/hda3 data, but my problem is this: this harddrive is booting with centos version 5, but I didn't see any 'boot' directory, not even 'var' or 'init. so how this harddisk is booting centos 5? the os files can be hidden some way?
i still miss some of the fetures of my amiga... ;P
BluesKaj, i just want the errors to go away. i want it to work
dr_willis: anything special I should know or read up on before I throw myself at ubuntu installing/playing with Xen ?
billy-:  they could be on differnt partions.

Hello, I have factory installed Windows 7 in my machine which I had to bought, but as an Ubuntu user, I need to install Ubuntu (after doing the disk partition and so), but as I paid for it, I would also need a recovery disk for Windows. How can I set up Ubuntu in this machine which will keep my Windows and also can install Ubuntu?
ubuntuaddicted, install pavucintrol if it's not already installed
Tanvir:  first thing with a new wundows box.. make a dvd revovery disk set useing the tools the hw makers put on the pc.. just in case.. ;)
already installed
ubuntuaddicted, pavucontrol
BluesKaj, already installed
xhost +SI:localuser:root even says 'xhost:  unable to open display ":0"'
thats in sudo -i
Tanvir:  personally i then get a 2nd hard drive  to use for my dual booting. If its a laptop i put the original hd from the laptop up safe somewhere for when i sale the laptop  a few years later. ;)
I'm running mysql server on ubuntu and its bound to 127.0.0.1 ( I realize this might not be the correct arena for this question, but you linuxguys are pretty proficient in databases )
the question is, how do I get it to bind to my public address?
if I change my.cnf conf to "bind-address xx.xx.xx.xx", and use netstat to see what it actually listens to, its 127.0.0.1
dr_jesus_, I created a recovery disk using Dell Smart Backup tool. Would that be enough to boot Windows next time after installing Ubuntu for a dual boot?
robbie:  have the user run xhost + whatever   perhaps? not root?
dr_willis, *
sorry.
Jake--, is skip-networking active?
Jake--, you have to comment out the skip-networking directive
TheLordOfTime, that I have to check
feel free to.
Tanvir:  you mean to reinstall windows? it should. but i tend to always test those disks out.  some times they do annoying things when they restore your system
that's likely the issue
Tanvir:  normaly ubuntu install should set up dual booting.
dr_willis: that was it :) thanks
TheLordOfTime skip-external-locking, might that be the setting?
dr_willis, how can I check? By doing a recovery for testing?
dr_willis: crazy I have to do that
Jake--, nope, skip-networking
Jake--, skip-network or similar (it'll say network somewhere) is how they do it, last i checked the package anyways
how can I see what gfx modes are available in grub without actually going into grub?
Jake--, oop one moment
i may have lied
*checks*
G'day.
Tanvir:  my normal practice with a 'new' laptop is  i always buy a 2nd hard drive for it. (a ssd these days) then i make the recovery set. swap out the hd. Keep the original SAFE. then try the restore set to be sure it works.. then put linux onit.
TheLordOfTime oh I found it now, appears that in my version of mysql the skip-networking is off by default and replaced to "listen only on localhost", but I believe "bind-address = 85.25.117.209" negates it, correct?
Jake--, that should be the case, did you restart MySQL after changing the bind-address ?
I did
and no dice?
no dice, nope
Jake--: you did restart mysql, right?
jrib, i just asked him that
dr_willis, my problem is I cannot do that in an external HD, I do it in DVDs.
Why I'm doing this is so I could connect to my DB from my desktop, instead of having to connect to the server first, and from there to localhost
dr_willis, I just made the recovery disk in 2 DVDs.
how do I get my nicklist back in quassel irc :D i just removed it by mouse and it vanished!
Jake--, you just want to be able to remotely access your MySQL from your local network?
Jake--, or are you trying to access it from some other location?
I've just updated to 12.04, and there's a couple of annoyances I have not been able to figure out.  One is that pppd starts up twice on boot. The first one connects fine, the second one fails to connect (likely coz the first one is already connected) then spams my log files once per minute telling me it has failed again.  I can't find where it starts them up.
From other location, the server is located in another country
The second problem is that xmms2 no longer displays song name and artist from Internet radio streams.

ubuntuaddicted, ok , what chip does alsamixer show ?
hello
BluesKaj, VT82xx [HDA VIA VT82xx]
is there something like tabs in unity for monitoring several windows of the same app like several terminals and gedit instances? (not app tabs)
I should have mentioned I don't use NetworkManager.  So, anyone know why pppd might start up twice, or even where to poke looking for what system actually starts them up?
good night
yo
onefang, what are you using to connect ?
bencc1: unity will only show the app window itsef, the tabs aren't separated when you alt-tab etc
ActionParsnip: so I'll stick with gnome session fallback. thanks
blackshirt: I just put the ppp details in the proper place in /etc/network/interfaces and /etc/ppp and something at boot time picks that up and starts pppd twice.
bencc1: that doesn't dictate the WM
ActionParsnip: WN?
WM?
bencc1: window manager
ActionParsnip:  unity is just too slow for me
ubuntuaddicted, the default intel hda driver looks correct for the that chip, so if you remove pulseaudio temporarily and make sure we have sound thru alsa alone, run  killall pulseaudio; rm -r ~/.pulse*
ActionParsnip: I'm running inside vbox and it's unusable
WM = Window Manager.
hi, i am using samsung ml1660 printer, ubuntu detect my printer but i am unable to print anything.
so, i find it ridiculous that i have to ask this question but is there a working way to play an audio cd with ubuntu? rhythmbox plays it with totally distorted sound, amarok plays mp3 from hdd but not the cd tracks in the same playlist and qmmp doesnt find tracks when i try to open /media/cdrom. this is so shitty i dont have words for it. seems like ubuntu developers are workinghard to make everything worse than it was so
me time ago?!
bencc1: ahhh if its 12.10 then it will be. I'd use something light like Xubuntu or Lubuntu to give a snappier OS
bencc1, you can change your desktop if you not like unity
koinandable: tried VLC?
not yet ... trying
BluesKaj, it has to be some config file somewhere telling it to try to active surround5.1
koinandable:  you would play /dev/cdrom not /media/cdrom   you dont mount audio cds
koinandable: media -> open disk (Shortcut CTRL+D)
blackshirt: yes, I'll use gnome-session-fallback which looks like old ubuntu
BluesKaj, and front:0
koinandable:  and ive had some players give me staticky or other sound issues with the default sound output. i had to switch them to use alsa in their settings.
bencc1 unity relies on a lot of compiz efects, i think ...
hi
ubuntuaddicted, do you have an ~/.asoundrc or /etc/asound.cong file ?
any good theme for gnome 3?
blackshirt: a few

zero, none

ubunu  my suggestion is to remove pulseaudio so we make sure alsa is working , most setups can run without pulseaudio for music etc that's on the HDD , for web audio most pcs require pulse
robbie: if you close the sound app and run:  killall pulseaudio      then wait a little while, do you see devices listed?
ubuntuaddicted,^
ActionParsnip: if you read that file I sent you'll see that pulseaudio doesnt load at boot
ActionParsnip: Im sorry -- its just, that is exactly what I did before coming here
if you run:  ps -ef | grep pulse      is it running?
ActionParsnip: and if I service start it, it says it is running from service but pulse volume control cant connect to it
BluesKaj, sorry, gotta go. thanks for trying to help
ActionParsnip: sudo service pulseaudio status is not running
ubuntuaddicted, did you see my last post ..keep it in mind
see the section "!!Sound Servers on this system" -- its installed its just not running
robbie: have you tried:   sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-audio-dev/ppa; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get --reinstall install pulseaudio
ActionParsnip: no I havent .. let me try not getting the dev version and just forcing the reinstall though
maybe that is it
hi, i am using samsung ml1660 printer, ubuntu detect my printer but i am unable to print anything.

Trying to 'calibrate' my monitor using gnome color manager, but it's greyed out. I downloaded icc-profiles, and all i can do is select them, and even that has no effect. How can I calibrate my monitor?
ok, tried to play the cd with vlc -> plays with distorted sound, switched to ALSA, still distorted, yesterday i ripped an audio cd bc of this mess and could play the ripped tracks without issues ... on one cd the fiirst track is distorted, the others can be played, it's a new drive and original audio cd's. what can i try now?
robbie: my sound troubleshooting isn't great to be honest, I can do basic stuff but I've never had a sound issue personally so all I can do is search the web. Maybe others can advise
ActionParsnip: this is because I had to upgrade my system from the DVD and now a couple issues remain
ActionParsnip: almost everyhting else Ive worked out
ActionParsnip: thanks for your help

can Openbox freeze ubuntu desktop?
ActionParsnip:  yup i have already install the samsung unified driver
searching: i guess so
danny_, i think that in order to calibrate your monitor (create it's icc profile) you need a hardware device.
if I remove OpenBox will run fine?
it would be weird that openbox would freeze the whole OS.
yes freeze all

I've got slight nvidia issues as well, I used apt-get install nvidia-current-updates, and although it has sped up my fps in openGL games, the desktop is now quite jerky, especially when using workspace switcher, anyone no y

ok
these are the packages that showed up in synpatic
thank you and read you
hopefully this shit works
so i can go to sleep
it's 5am here

hi guys my current version is 11.4 how i can upgrade it to 12.10 by the way i have 12.10 version iso on my hdd mr. dr_willis
almatrix: go into update manager click settings, switch to the update tabs, and under notify me of new ubuntu versions select any version
almatrix: best bet is to clean install.
allow update manager to reload then the new release should be at the top :)
mN-: it doesn't make a difference :(
almatrix: if you won't do that, you have to go 11.10, 12.04 then 12.10.
almatrix: NO DIRECT UPGRADE TO 12.10 from 11.04
aha okay
almatrix: sorry
how can I set pulseaudio to start at boot?
handuel: dunno why it's jerky then if it works on games. Maybe you have too many processes open == low ram
almatrix: I got my info incorrect, I thought you wanted to get to 12.04
mN-: never mind, thanks anway
mN-: intrestingly though, it only goes jerky once I open a window
AHHHHHHH
RESIST: has it worked :D

fabrydrunk:  why are you wanting to use that ppa?
firefox should be up to date in the normal repos
because I wanted to update my repository. I've installed firefox and it was just version 6
while the latest version is 16
fabrydrunk: which version of ubuntu did u install ?
firefox is installed by default anyway
11.10
I know, but it wasn't the latest version
it was version 7 (not 6, sorry)
Is there a way to find the hex value of a color you're using in xterm? I'm trying to get the color scheme from my xterm to match my guake terminal.
* onefang gives up and finds something more fun to do.  lol
fabrydrunk:  you mean 11.10 and not 12.10? 12.10 just came out ..
yeah I mean 11.10
why would you be using 11.10?
is it necessary to pass to 12.10 to have the latest firefox?
hello geeks!!
be a lot easier to stay updated if you used 12.10 or 12.04
11.10 will be EOL in april of 2013 i belive.
what is the different between LTS 12.04.1 and 12.04 ?
.1 has updates included in the iso
so when in doubt get the .1 or .2 or whatever
dr_willis: package info from oneiric says (firefox 16.0.2+build1-0ubuntu0.11.10.1) [security]
maybe he just needs to update the system
philinux:  or perhaps thats from the security repo. not the ppa hes trying to use. :) i dont keep up with the old releases.
for a new install.. i dont see the point in using 11.10 at all.
thanks willis!!
ok I'll accept your suggest to upgrade to 12.04
i want to install 12.04 but i wonder if has the new features  of 12.10
I hope to find more recent packages
or 12.10 fabrydrunk  if 'recent' is imporntant to you
12.10 here has  16.0.2  for firefox from its about box...
mmm I just need recent packages, not recent OS
if the system is new. id say go with a clean install.
fabrydrunk:  ubuntu dosent really work that way.. it follows a 6mo release cycle where everything gets updated then..
in btween releaes theres just a few updates to package versions. but i think firefox is one of the main exceptions that trys to stay updated
fabrydrunk: how recent is recent?
and what about lts versions? 12.04 is an lts. it should be supported for more months
upgradeing from 11.x to whatever will most likely take longer then a clean install would.
if lts is imporntant to you (its not to me) then go with 12.04
For me "recent" means having the latest version of each package
fucking hell
idle go back idle
fabrydrunk:  for EVERY thing you mean.. if so then ubuntu may not be for you.
oopsie
idiot
gordonjcp:
I am trying to use apt-cacher-ng on quantal but I get errors/ warnings about duplicate sources every time I run apt-get update
haha, a monkey would have learned sooner
Not everything gets updated constantly in ubuntu. thats why we have ppa's and backports.
anyone know a solution?
i think the browser (firefox) and a few other packages are the main exceptions - they try to stay updated.
fabrydrunk: try using update manager and see if firefox gets updated
tsuru``: sounds like your sources.list has something a bit wrong with it
you can still have a play with 11.10
tsuru``: can you pastebin the output?
gordonjcp: yeah I've tried looking but what I've narrowed it down to is in /var/lib/apt/lists/ I was told to delete *Packages and *Sources in the apt-cacher-ng install... I did... but they keep coming back.
dr_willis in fact I'm just helping a friend who installed ubuntu yesterday. I left Ubuntu a year ago and passed to Archlinux, it's my favourite distro, and I don't have problems like these
gordonjcp: yeah lemme see about the pastebin
anyway ubuntu was my first Linux distro and I still love it
fabrydrunk:  ubuntu is not a rolling release disrto. arch basically is.. its a core differance.
dr_willis but i didn't know that in ubuntu "more recent distro version" means "more recent packages version". I thought that repositories were the same for each version, was I wrong?
fabrydrunk:  things only get updated at each new release basically.
every 6 mo. new release. with all packages updated..
hi, what is the package name for unistd please as while trying to compile my c++ program it says no such file or directory ? (i am using Ubuntu 12.10 )
hey everyone
is there a trigger for supported wifi adapters on ubuntu?
if a driver is taking too long to instal does that mean my hardware is old
screwsss: not necessarily, but most things shouldn't need additional drivers
gordonjcp: http://pastebin.com/pbuRBRyU
oh I see. But, if each new release brings new updates....why do lts versions exist? Aren't they something like "you won't have new updates for longer period"?
security updates are the key. not everything gets updated to the latest version
not even display-?
why do u say that. is there a generic display driver in there
join #linuxcnc
I see. Everything is clear now :)
screwsss:  theres generic video drivers, then theres the open sourced drivers for many chipsets.
RESIST: Are you still here, did the commands I gave you work?
so my nvidia card could use the Nvidia drivers, or the OPEN sourced noveau drivers. or if all else fails the vga drivers.
bbl.
can anybody confirm my bug in https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/software-properties/+bug/1072074 or even better help me to get this resolved ?
Ok, he's gone, does anyone know if someone called RESIST, got there problems sorted out

Ill see about that

Yes,I can ping it.But i can't visit it by firefox.
test in a differnt browser.. whats the exact message when you try it in ff?

hi i am ubuntu user and i am getting some problems in it
OKAY, just couple of hours back i had re-installed my ubuntu which overwrote my entire home directory
Now, i went and bought myself a 1TB USB Drive, I want to know what is the best way of using this up!
normally you keep /home/ on its own partition.
hi, am on 11.10, i want update to 12.04 LTS but nothing shows in update manager
how to update ?
so mount the external usb to /home/ if you wanted to.  but that may be a little slow.
hi am am on 12.04 lts and i face a problem that it hangs everytime
dr_willis: you want me to keep home in its own partition, how do i do it while installing ubuntu
hi
rsv:  the installer disk layout tool lets you define that. or you can set it up afterwards
help me!!! pls
rusfus_:  with ?
i have a small problem with xubuntu
is any one there
is any one there
'hangs everytime' is vague... details would be helpfll.
when l watch a video from both the tube from a mediaplayer after 10 minutes, i will darken the screen
come can l eliminate it??
Hrki: open a terminal and use update-manager -d
rusfus_: sounds like power management is kicking in.  Is this on a laptop?
so
Hrki: it will take much longer than a clean install too
i normally boot up ubuntu and after an hour laptop sounds havily and stop responding anything from mouse to keyboard
rusfus_:  sounds like the screen saver is kicking in. disable it perhaps?
rufus_ I think before you watch a video running this in terminal: killall gnome-screensaver might kill the screensaver process
gordonjcp i've already tried, however,andnot on a desktop
i think i will have to reinstall ubuntu or will it be cured without it as i have shut down my laptop several time directly from power switch
can you add a windows 7 admin account via ubuntu?
JaonC_: no
JasonC_: or at least not easily
JasonC_:  ive seen some specilized reocvery cds (not ubuntu) that let you try to fix things in windows.
thanks for the quick responses!
rusfus_ disable dim/blanking in settings->screen. keshav disable power managment options altogether. prolly do a top and watch it to see if any processes are spiraling out of control.
dr_willis _: already tried
opps sorry window was scrolled
hi
gms_:  i try
I have 1TB usb drive should i partition it
rsv:  if you want. but i rarely do.
handuel: do you know if i could enable the hidden admin account through ubuntu?
it is partioned it in NTFS/exFAT this is a brand new disk, which i bought just to copy the contents of photorec
Also, is ddrescue more efficient or photorec
JasonC_: As far as I know you can't change many windows settings from ubuntu, you can acsess the files, but thats about it, you'd have to use windows safe mode
also, how do i correctly reply by making users usernames go red :P
rsv:  if its going to be used as a shared data disk for linux/wondows - keep it ntfs.
philinux: i try, but still no new version showed up
okay!
linux rescuecd has ntfs and registry editing support. try that
thank you very much
i have a 4 tb drive i want to add 8 of them with mdadm
handuel: is this right? :P

gms_: i'm sorry what does "proly do a top and watch it to see if any processes are spiraling out of control"
Hi... anyone able to give me a quick overview of what's new in 12.10?
Mitchell92: Stuff not working.
gustav__, lol
so we havent?
JasonC_ network settings has options for wifi if you dont have a network icon in status pannel its in settings.
Ill revise, how do i connect to a domain internet on ubuntu, it's my works internet, you have to put your username and password, which goes like this e.g. domainname\username and then password on windows. I have like-wise open installed but that doesnt seem to help
rusfus_ open a terminal. type "top" without the quotes
all pretty strait forward from their just watch your process list to see if one of them starts collecting virtual/swap memory or abnormal cpu usage
hi, I installed ubuntu 11.04 on a 1gb USB stick, and found out now that the installation requirement is a 2gb+ stick. is it possible that ubuntu wasn't correctly installed? no errors showed up, but the system is slow sometimes. could it be the faulty installation or should I look for other reasons?
gms_: sorry, here i am
How do i copy one line of text from a text file to the clipboard and paste it somewhere when on the console?
kinema if you are booting only from usb stick the system will be slow as it juggles everythinbg around in memory.
gms: ah sorry, I meant I installed FROM a 1gb usb stick onto my disk
Eagleman right click -paste in your terminal from desktop
hi there

Jisawesome_ on the wifi look for port forwarding options. add a port forward for port 80 to the local server
how  should i do?
gsm :  i will try that and reply
:)
Jisawesome_ type in your external ip into your adress bar to acsess options
how do I find my external ip?
Jisawesome_ it will be on your routers "WAN" page
Jiswawesome_ ipchicken.com
gms, how do I get to that page?
erm. handuel not external. try the gateway ip instead
me?
gms: sorry
usualy 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.1.1 or 10.xxx.xxx.xxx style. look at your ifconfig
gms: to port forward my router i used ipchicken then copied and pasted that adress into my url bar
Wait what?
Jisawesome_
 ifconfig | grep inet
          inet addr:192.168.0.193  Bcast:192.168.0.255  Mask:255.255.255.0
Jisawesome_ ignore me, I think I gave you incorrect information
ok
I did that gms
for me my gateway or the routers config page will be http://192.168.0.1/ based on my ip 192.168.0.193
handuel your router may be configured for external administration. if so i recomend you disable that option. if you require it port forward to your linux box so traffic goes through your iptables and then rout back to the routers internal ip. protect the traffic by restricting it heavly with some chains reflecting login locations etc you might use.
Hi. Please, how can I increase console resolution in Ubuntu 12.04 guest in Virtualbox?
I cant seem to find how to connect to the page
vladimir, i haven't touched virtualbox in a while. But its either in the virtualbox settings, or in Ubuntu.
Top right corner -> Displays. If its in ubuntu
Jisawesome_ go to a console and tup "ifconfig | grep inet"
handuel, for external IP , make sure you have wget and curl installed then you can use the termianl with this command  , curl ifconfig.me
look for the one that matches the connection type your using.
my ubuntu keeps turning off my screen, any of you guys may help me?
eslu, I try to reconfigure grub2, but I had no success...
ngueba settings->screen disable blank screen and possibly dim if that anoys too
checked settings inside ubuntu vladimir?
i know Google Chromium OS, won't let you adjust resolution in Virtualbox. Maybe same for Ubuntu.
gms, you say I have to open port 8-0?
port 80
gms i already set that up but it didn't work
any other ideia?
port 80 is the offical http protocol port. if your plan ning on ssl add 443 as well
gms: thanks for trying to help me but i've worked out that that was my old router, now I just go to bthomehub.home, to set things up
eslu, graphical resolution is ok (1900x1080x32). But the console resolution is 640x480...
guys i have a question
Dont ask to ask
ah, then i can't help you vladimir. i don't know much about virtualbox :(
where can I get steam on ubuntu/kubuntu
i heard valve ported it to linux
vladimir are you talking about just the consoles within or the desktop screen.
eslu, thanks for your efforts to help me...
There's no native steam yet, neweruser123
neweruser123: it's not finished yet
howmuch longer?
neweruser123: it is perfectly runnable using wine
neweruser123: You'll have to settle for Wine right now, which I think should work fine?
neweruser123, beta coming soon in november/december 2012.
and once its out where can I find it?
for other users 2013.
in the software center?
probably
oh ok thanks and 1 last question what is the diff between WIne and WInetricks ?
Man that will be so cool...
:)
neweruser123 and check omgubuntu.co.uk for information about it, the admins there follow it closely and post info quite regurally
gsm : thX to remember that there is something called " recovery mode" lol  i just reselected gdm by 'dpkg-reconfigure gdm' command
gms, i'm talking about the console resolution outside desktop screen
ok handuel
thanks alot see ya
neweruser123: Winetricks is a set of scripts that helps make using Wine easier.
neweruser123: wine allows you to run windows programs whereas winetricks makes using some programs in wine easier
gms: i've already set that up, but it didn't work
ok im using WIne tricks to install steam is that ok?
neweruser123: Wine is a set of libraries that natively implement Microsoft's Windows' libraries that allow Windows programs to run natively on Linux.
gms, I finally connected to it
is the filesystem F2FS finished, or is it under developement?
Yea, should be fine. Personally I recommend PlayOnLinux, but you can achieve similar results with Winetricks.
ok il try playonlinux
hi. how can I change the window manager in ubuntu 12.10?
Jisawesome_ somehow i knew you would without me having to say any more :P
oh yeah 1 last question
gms, I meant my router page...
where can I find the latest drivers e.g. AMD graphics card drivers
Guest____: which wm do you want
neweruser123, are you using ubuntu 12.10 or ubuntu 12.04?
philinux: stumpwm. I already installed it using apt-get. but I can't find out how to use it
neweruser123: With POL it's just so easy to swap in/out different versions of Wine for different games. Some games want certain versions of Wine or certain wine settings enabled/disabled.. PlayOnLinux makes it easy to setup a seperate Wine and Wine config for each individual windows program/game you install. They're all seperate from each other, as well.

ciao
im using kubuntu, i plan to remove kubuntu today in a few hours
and install ubuntu
Guest____: log out and choose it for your session at login
alright, coz in ubuntu its just system settings -> drivers -> fgrlx
I found I had to go to amd.com (ati.amd.com I think) and download the drivers from them. The drivers I got from Ubuntu were good but for some reason Gnome-Shell wouldn't work properly with it.
hi guys i cannot update my ubuntu netbook? i did not get a hold of the error message. please help or PM me for support
philinux: how? I can't find out how to choose...
gms, can you help about this issue?
Why was my certificate valid after 2 weeks instead of instant when i made it, I've chcked the date and time on the machine i made them and it only differed  1 or 2 hours?
how can I switch from kubuntu to Ubunutu easily?
neweruser123: You don't have to use either/or. If you like KDE you can stick with Kubuntu and pull in any program you want from Ubuntu. In fact, you can just do sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop right now, which will install all the Ubuntu stuff for you.. I do the opposite.
Guest____:  hang on a mo
I install Ubuntu, then I apt-get install edubuntu, kubuntu and xubuntu heehee.
ok micheal i will try now how would i switch back later?
That way I can log-in and select whichever desktop environment I want and I have access to all the neat stuff from each distro :P
You would do sudo apt-get --purge remove ubuntu-desktop
Which will revert you back to your original Kubuntu.
ok the problem with kubuntu it does not have Ubuntu software center
vladimir i need to open a query my eyes just cant track of follow this chan as it moves too quick and i have memory of retention equivilant to a sive retaining water
it has "muon software"
guys i need help with this one. "The action would require the installation of packages from not authenticated sources."
i click once,but effect like twice.
neweruser123: Ah, you can install the Ubuntu Software Center if you want. It's really neat, huh? It's the same software and everything, just so you're aware. What Muon can find, Ubuntu Software Center can find and vice versa.
Guest____: sorry got confused with DE not a WM have u seen the documentation http://www.nongnu.org/stumpwm/manual/stumpwm_1.html#SEC2
how to fix it/
?
gms, LoL...
neweruser123: In fact, I THINK you can open Muon, search for "Ubuntu Software Center" and install it all by itself :P
So guys any advice on compiling a custom kernel?
ok michealPW
Guest____: you'll have to read through it all
Try that and see how that works.
desu yes. take great care
philinux: thanks, I'll have a look
gms, what do I do from the browser pagte
yes it works thanks for that, installing now
Got a question about PlayonLinux, why does it download a old wine version everytime i wish to install a game? Is there anything i can do, to make it use my CURRENT version of wine instead?
Why take great care? what's the worst that could happen?
Jisawesome_ have a look around in the firewall/port forward section. may modems/routers/wifi devices put on same page some have there own page.
Guest____: also see this https://github.com/sabetts/stumpwm/wiki/Ubuntu-12.04-and-Gnome-and-StumpWM
Is firefox the default browser for Ubuntu?
yes
neweruser123: yes
yes
I heard FIrefox wont get FLash player anymore what will hapen
eslu: If you click on teh game you've installed and then click Configure, you can tell it to use whatever Wine version you want for that specific game.
i click once,but effect like twice.how to fix it?
chromium-browser
Why was my certificate valid after 2 weeks instead of instant when i made it, I've chcked the date and time on the machine i made them and it only differed  1 or 2 hours?
alright cheers michealpw
often the new kernel compiler reads out options not fully understood and enables them thinking they are cool features but often end up with unstable or incompatible kernel.
should I switch to google chrome
neweruser123: no need to switch flash ok for yonks yet
eslu: By default, PlayOnLinux will install a stable version of Wine. It's not relevant though, 'cause POL's whole point is to configure a separate Wine for each individual game, whatever Wine that game runs best with.
Np
in general a default compile unless your using intel optimized compiler will do.
you only realy need to compile of your bleeding edge or developing
neweruser123: linux will still get security update for a couple of years IIRC
gms, it wants me to choose a program I am doing it for
neweruser123: That's poppycock. Firefox will always get Flash plugins, in fact most browsers get the plugin that was made for Firefox, since Firefox uses the Netscape Plugin architecture, since Firefox evovled from the old Netscape project.
 
Jisawesome_ what program is it asking for. ?
ok i see
mayby a screenshot of what your looking at
I really like the tray icons in unity for volume, battery, etc, but I'm not using unity. is there any way to run these indicators as applets in other wms like you can with nm-applet?
Besides, flash gets less and less useful as time goes on... Hopefully one day you wont ever need a flash plugin :)
like html5 ?
Yes, exactly.
hi
michealPW: see this http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2012/02/adobe-adandons-flash-on-linux
flash is to be discontinued anyway, and I can't wait
 just a question please
And then everyone changed to Mac OS, and bunnies stopped reproducing.
how to get back in gnome shell the icone "show applications" in the dash ?
html5 FTW
A student in fact used some tools to take the C++ source code for the Cube 2 engine and transcoded it to HTML5. You can try the game on the Mozilla Developer's Network.
Runs amazingly well using and browser that has html5 support, without any plugins.
Who said anything about warez? Get over yourself in this channel, seriously.
I'm talking about open source games running in an open source browser using open standards...
And you're talking about Warez? :)
gms, http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/837/yeaj.png/
loool
Why get warez when there's a world of open source out there?
Exactly.
Ubuntu makes warez silly :P
is there anybody can help me ?
michealPW: the response was to mmmmm's "!list" which sometimes has a bot send a list of available files...
michealPW, that wasn't for you
Oh, sorry
Why was my certificate valid after 2 weeks instead of instant when i made it, I've chcked the date and time on the machine i made them and it only differed  1 or 2 hours?
bazhang: Yea, heaven forbid we talk about Flash not being available for Linux in an Ubuntu channel, right?
Esp. when nobody was talking anyways, LOL.
gms, http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/837/yeaj.png/
This channel's brutal, god..
Jisawesome_ thats not the right page. your need to "port forward"
michealPW, it is available. stay on topic
Flash isn't a problem anyway, one day html5 is common...
wtf uni's are teaching students flash
i thought flash is dying
would that be under info, broadband, LAN, firewall, logs, or dyagnostics
neweruser123, they also teach vb6 still
but then thats OT
what programming language is ubuntu made in
Why do I get apitide fail when using tasksel
c

neweruser123: many
bump -- any way to get the indicator icons in a non-unity environment? like you can with nm-applet?
ubuntu software center is made in python.
adaminsull, sudo ?
so learning C means I can make programs for Ubuntu right?
also, Ubuntu is obviously not only one thing.
Same morsnowski
no
adaminsull, what do you want install using tasksel
then? what programming language
adaminsull, what are you selecting?
Lamp server rexwin_
You can join the Gnome-University, neweruser123.

noone4: don't dcc people randomly
neweruser123: Python is a quite easy to pick up and powerful.
Can I swap the functions of the shortcuts "super+s" and "super"?
I'd suggest Python.
newuser123 no, you can learn any programming language you want and still run your programs on linux.
Python / C / C++, are safe bets.
Learn ANSI C and get hands on experience developing for Gnome, the underlying technology that Ubuntu's Unity builds on.
PYTHON
python to make apps for Ubuntu ?
You can
hey friends, using ubuntu 12.04 and having problems with slow boot tome any suggestions?
bekor: www.google.com
boot time sorry
neweruser123: ubiquity (the ubuntu installer) is coded in python, as is the software centre
neweruser123: Yes, Python is quite easy to learn and you can write applications for Ubuntu with it. ;)
adaminsull, try a sudo apt-get update first
noone4:  Please stop sending dcc chat requests. if you have a support question ask it in the chanell
ok i dont know anything, so do i start somewhere or jump to python straight away
neweruser123: you can write programs in any language and have them run on ubuntu. or are you talking about making a lens for unity or something?
channel*
PYTHON.
adaminsull, yes try apt-get update
Well if you have no idea about Python, then I'd say learn the basics of Python and go from there.
neweruser123: sorry, when I said C, I meant the kernel(as far as I can tell it's pretty much all C in there)
ok so can I use python to make a game?
Yes
Yes.
yep, you can.
make sure you are installing using sudo
and what about the graphics part?
Any programming language can be used to do anything.
hello everyone

neweruser123: http://www.pygame.org/news.html
neweruser123, Ubuntu is Linux , Linux is the Kernel and Kernel written in C. But we can make program in Any language ...

might be a helpful library for that
ok guys

I keep getting disconnected notices, but it doesn't look like I'm really getting disconnected.  Someone else I know has this happen on a wireless network (my connection is eth0 -- cat5) and hers I guess actually DOES disconnect.
lets say my game is done in 6 months, how will i submit  it to the ubuntu store
ThinkT510: ~ means ident did not affirmative
for free of course
neweruser123: also see this http://developer.ubuntu.com/resources/tools/quickly/
he might have just typed root into the box
ok philinux
you should do that sometime, and see how annoying it is to have everyone flip out
Wug, no, it isn't the irc name.
OerHeks: its the ident field, the ~root@ part
does ubuntu have LAMP preintalled
Is it easy to port games from Ubuntu <--> Android, if it use the same kernel?
any irc client in the world will let you put whatever you want there
eslu: no
luyang: you can choose to install it at install-time with the server install if you want. Or you can easily install it afterwards
eslu: android uses a different libc and doesn't use X11
Wug, no, in this case 'root@' is the username.
Isn't android just a whole lot of Java and some linux kernel?
OerHeks: no, it was ~root@
Jisawesome_ how did you go finding those port forwarding options?
jrib: kthx, is the standard lamp installation secure?
(~root@122.162.77.255)
I have a problem. Sound doesn't work in some of the videos and works in others. I tested with SMPlayer and VLC.
the squiggle indicates the ircd did not get an affirmative response from an ident server
Wug, i don't discuss this, i am right,
Hm okay, was hoping the same kernel would make it easier. As android is based on linux, and the next Playstation is probably based on linux aswell. (x86 architecture this time, if rumours are true)
how can i sto pthe 15-20 second delay when ssh'ing to a system? after i put in my pass, it waits about 20 seconds before prompting for a password
which could mean either it's firewalled, or its spoofed
is there a way to disable all authentication mechanisms besides keyboard?
luyang lamp being "linux apache mysql php" the answer is no. you must go through and secure your box properly dont assume its secured
that sounds tedious
Hm... Works in KMPlayer
i got another problem, no soun
sound in my computer for some reason
no OerHeks, you're wrong.
neweruser123: check alsamixer see if anything is muted
I'm on a windows box, I don't have a root
Wug, thats enough, move on
it generaly is initialy. once you know what needs to be done you can develope scripts to help you speed things up. copying your shell log is one way of replicating many consecutive tasks. if you have ten files to edit adding ten lines of vi /etc/<file> etc is actualy easy as it prompts you along. faster then having to think about each step it reminds you. so i often dump bash logs to a new file and edit them up into shell scrip
ts simply to catch dozens of cmd line options etc.
saves time

Pear Linux is so awesome I wish they had a dedicated channel that I could rave on. Ubuntu is awesome too of course, without it the core "awesomeness" of Pear would not be possible.

adlightsaberha, discuss in #ubuntu-offtopic please
dougl, after adding the ppa, did you update and install newer versions? then you need ppa-purge. if the PPA never worked, you can edit your sources  and remove it
bazhang: ok thanks
OerHeks, never worked - edit sources thru muon?
dougl, yes.

ubottu, what is the easiest method?
What is the easiest method of running linux and windows 7
virtual box or vmware. or some other vm. like qemu.
can someone help me get to the back track chat server?
wubi
he wants to run them both AT the SAME time...
How do I do the virtualbox??
so you need to use a vm.
ah
synister, /join #backtrack-linux
user225533, get virtualbox , it s free
go to the vbox homepage.. and read its docs/guides..
Where?
user225533, here on freenode network
bazhang im new to this so i need a bit of help getting there
user225533, #vbox
bazhang, any thots on my 404 errors for my sources list?
Can someone please explain what is vbox?
synister, /join #backtrack-linux    <------ type that
user225533:  its a virtual machine..
user225533:  spend the time go to the virtualbox.org page and read up on it.
virtual box. ity emulates a computer in software so you can install other operating systems on it
and how does it help me run windows seven and ubuntu linux?
how to bring messaging indicator back to xubuntu 12.10?
user225533, https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads
dougl, we seem to be missing a part of your sources.list
user225533:  you run linux IN the virtual machine
Yes but how do i do this
sudo aptitude install nginx?
or winblows in the virtual machine :P
How would security updates be handled for the operating system and application software if the user doesn't have root password?
user225533:  its quite trivial.. go read its well done docs and guides at its homepage.
oh - how so bazhang ?
install vbox.. have vbox boot the iso.. install linux.
good to know
thank you
sudo apt-get install nginx?
user225533, you will have to do some minimal amount of reading
asl^^ becouse by default the first account is part of the sudoers admin group
How can I contact UBUNTU?
is there an issue that I've been using aptitude forever uptill now
So, remmina has replaced vinagre.  Are there any plans to make it, you know, work?  So far it's unmittigated shit for VNC: it doesn't understand over half the security types used; the java applet gives better response times; it can't autonegotiate the color depth, it requires you select it.
and all of a sudden I'm switching to apt-get?
user225533:  you may want to use lubuntu instead of ubuntu inside vbox
user225533, we just told you.
dr_willis, long time no see :)
kyle__, no cursing here
how to bring messaging indicator back to Xubuntu 12.10
OMG now it wont let me send messages to the back track server. i can see everyone in the server but i can't talk
How can I contact ubuntu?
gms: i don't get it. if the user doesn't give the root password. how do they update the software or security of os
user225533:  clarify what you mean.
wb neweruser123 howd it go?
user225533, contact ubuntu ? what do you mean
bazhang: Normally I'm quite polite with my language, but this is rediculus.  They replaced a critical, perfectly functional, but somehow distasteful (idiologically maybe?  Who knows) program with something that doesn't work.
sudo <command>
gms, I am still here for when I finally figure out my password
gms:  no sound still
coolies Jisawesome_
dr_willis: Like, how do I contact ubuntu by email, telephone ect
i think teamviewer is the option for me
i dont really know what im doing
did you figure out port forwarding?
bazhang, is http://pastebin.com/SQAacUw1 more complete?
user225533:  check the ubuntu homepage and the contacts link/page perhaps/
I need my system password for it
its been an hour
user225533: Try their website.  And for the love of Bob, stop repeating yourself.
how to bring messaging indicator back to Xubuntu 12.10?
neweruser123 try to ask sombody here if not ill be back tomorrow highlight me a few times during the day at some point ill notice
ill keep ur query open in the meantime so i can rember who you are :P
dougl, I dont see the launchpad ppa that is causing the errors
gms:  ok
bazhang, but you see the errors in the first pastebin post?
dougl, yep
if a company migrate all the os to ubuntu. the users don't know the root password. When there is new security update or application update, how are you going to handle this?
bazhang, looks like 12.10 is broken?
bazhang, my 12.10 is broken?
the users of the company don't have the password of root user. only the administrator has it.
dougl, no. try the ppa-purge
hello
dougl, a simple error like that does not indicate broken, by any stretch of the imagination
asl^^ as an administrator you can easly <passwd root> but not recomended otherwise use the primary admin account setup ssl keys and remotly ssh <host> "sudo update"
bazhang, broken too strong but for lack of a better term
anyone know how I can remove live wallpaper
via a script of course
neweruser123:  what live wallpaper?
bazhang, I don't think that issue will have any effect on my system but that is one of many
can i show u on teamviewer
dougl, perhaps check in synaptic package manager
i cant remember how i got it but its a live wallpaper
neweruser123:   you need to rember how you installed it.. then uninstall it.
anyone can help to install namp.tar
i cant remember though it was some site
omgubuntu or webupd8
check your browser history
i think omgubuntu ?
mrblue namp or nmap?
neweruser123, you can remove live wall paper by following the guide on omgubuntu.co.uk
neweruser123, someone in the comment mentioned how to remove the live wall paper.
gms: is that mean i can only do update remotely? is it possible to make it auto update?
desu nmap
hhhzzzarn:  where
hi guys i think i have a problem with my package manager. it takes 5+ mins just to read package lists
oh i found it
mrblue why mess around with the source when you can just install the package from the repos?
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install livewallpaper livewallpaper-config livewallpaper-indicator
is what i pasted
asl~ try scheduling it with crond or somthing
neweruser123, the article is on omgubuntu.co.uk go to the website and search for "live wallpaper" and the article should show. Then go to comments section and find the comment.
yeah i found it
mayby you want to read up on ubuntu in the enterprise environment
ah crap
anyways im off to sleepy byes
ubuntu's nginx is old as hell
so laters
bye
night gms o/
Is there a way to tell apt to Not look for updates for certain packages from the repos ?  say I do not want to look for upgrades of Unity is there a way to tell apt to just never get thouse upgrades ?
raj: what ubuntu version are you running?
i need some more helping remove this
theirs no command in the guide
bobweaver, you should read the apt manual guide on ubuntu wiki/documentations.
neweruser123, the commands are in the comment section (have to find it)
neweruser123 did you try settings->apearance?
 asl^^, unattended updates
desu how to install it using terminal
hhhzzzarn,  you should not tell people to read the effing mannual or at least give Links
mrblue sudo apt-get install nmap
hhhzzzarn,  that is against the COC
thanks gms
thanks bazhang
Why would i search the link to the manual for you?
hhhzzzarn, no need to respond then
ahh, looks like I've entered a Linux chatroom. :)
hhhzzzarn,  all I am saying is that your commet to RTFM is not a good one and helps no one
desu error install
again thanks bazhang  I see that I can use PiN-Priority Now and that is a great thing
mrblue what's the output?
asl^^, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticSecurityUpdates
Hey all. I'm running Ubuntu 12.10 on my Lenovo laptop, for which I have a dock that's connected to 2 monitors. Is there any (reasonable) way to have Ubuntu recognize when the laptop has been docked and switch to my external displays automatically? And then vice-versa for when I undock?
ok i found how to disable it not remove it
In general, it seems like there's no support for docking with this hardware.
seems to be fine for now
bobweaver, it is not against the COC (just mentioning).
bobweaver: beware of what you are pinning, it could cause dependency issues later
 /ignore hhhzzzarn
hi all, i have a bit unusal problem , i am trying to make an desktop icon for eclipse but the image is not coming at all instead a ? comes\
any clue
ThinkT510, I just can image
does anyone know how I can remove openjdk and get sun java?
im looking to play a java game
neweruser123: And it wont run with OpenJDK?
devish: I just download a image from google and replace the image.
neweruser123,  you do not need to remove you can have both and use update-alternitives to use both
on the site it says usesun  Java
desu in writting the file is not found in the directory E
neweruser123: Then first just try to use OpenJDK.
devish: vector images are the best for icons.
neweruser123, go to software center, and remove "openjdk" then follow a guide (many available online) to install sun java.
neweruser123,  like "sudo update-alternatives --config java"
I just installed ubuntu 12.04, but the pc hangs!!!
i changed the default player to vlc, but mp4s still open in totem. How do i change it to open in vlc? i amchanging in details>default apps
" The jar is executable and might work as-is. If you run into memory issues, try launching it with java -Xmx1024M -Xms512M -cp minecraft.jar net.minecraft.LauncherFrame, also please use Sun's JVM."
i want to allocate 4gb Ram
ArchOpenBox: the icon is of type xpm
neweruser123: And...?
crqd, right click mp4 check properties play with/open with
ArchOpenBox: i am giving its path correctly "Icon=~/Documents/eclipse/icon.xpm"
neweruser123: Minecraft runs with OpenJDK and 4GB is just wasting RAM. :)
b ut it does not show up
i have 8gb should be ok to waste some more
i know that, but how can i change the default dclick action to open in vlc
neweruser123, again you can have both installed and just call the one that you want to use example    sudo update-alternatives --config java       pick the one you want to use   then run   java --version   to see what version you are useing :)
neweruser123: Do you have 64Bit Ubuntu?
yeh
devish: adjust icon size. does this help. Some images are bigger and cant display in smaller desktop settings.
mrblue sorry I had to get my laptop charger, did you say anything?
devish, had the same problem. i had to give it the full path
neweruser123: There is no benefit in wasting that much RAM to minecraft.
ok 2gb then
crqd, this will accomplish that, set as default
this is what problem I get "The file '/home/tan/Downloads/minecraft.jar' is not marked as executable.  If this was downloaded or copied from an untrusted source, it may be dangerous to run.  For more details, read about the executable bit."
desu what's his problem because I installed my linux along with windows 7 on my laptop so there are two OS then its not found
neweruser123: And just try the OpenJDK first.
i just did -_-
mrblue dual boot has nothing to do with you being able to install packages from the repos...
there's no set as default option, and i tried doing open with and the next dclick it just opens in totem again
Minecraft doesn't work with OpenJDK as I understand it.
desu +1
+1?
crqd, 12.10? gnome?
juju charm works good for minecraft I hear
ThinkT510, Not sure, 11.04 I think
I'm on a T410 btw ;)
yes, i went to details and vlc is default for video
still opens in totem
desu oohh what I have to put it in the tar file document linux system
guys my machine has been "reading package lists..." for the last 13 mins and its only 47%. This task used to be almost instant, what can i do?
neweruser123: You cannot execute a jar file.
raj: what is the output of lsb_release -sd
neweruser123: java -jar minecraft.jar
crqd, then set as default is certainly a choice. lower right hand of properties box
neweruser123: Thats not a OpenJDK/SunJDK problem.
linkandzelda, change mirrors
its working
but crap i updated the game damn
neweruser123: And...?
mrblue the tarball is only if you want to install from source, quick question do you have 32 bit or 64 bit os?
the buttons are find apps online, cancel, select and show other apps
bazhang, i have a feeling its the gnome ppa i added yesterday, im not sure how to remove it
neweruser123, http://www.minecraftwiki.net/wiki/Tutorials/Setting_up_a_server
bekks:  nothing I accidentaly updated nothing to do with java it self
hhhzzzarn: He doesnt need a server. :)
mrblue also which version of ubuntu?
bekks, oh he just wants to play the game?
my versions ubuntu 12.10
im already running a server
neweruser123, then you don't need to allocate that much ram for playing it.
#ubuntustudio
desu my versions ubuntu 12.10
hhhzzzarn: Correct.
hhhzzzarn:  ok just thought it would help out more
hhhzzzarn: Thats what I already told him.
bekks: ok.
neweruser123,  this is a cloud based server ?
ArchOpenBox: _cronus_ : i beleive full path + size both were the problem , i made the size to default and gave the full path then its done
and once the icon is there i can resize the launccher on my wish ;)
bobweaver:  no the hosting thing you have to buy not sure what it is
i need to allocate more ram i think
neweruser123: Why?
what is with you no download link nmap.tar
mrblue http://packages.ubuntu.com/quantal/amd64/nmap/download
neweruser123: More RAM is only useful for the server instance, not for the clients.
i can see a slight difference in performance while playing on windows and ubuntu
assuming you have amd64, not sure if you answered that question or not...
i mean 64 bit cpu.
neweruser123: And how do you expect RAM to change that...?
neweruser123,  nevermind then but in the future (If you like ) there is a easy thing to use called a juju charm that are services for the cloud but if this is just local server then forget about it till you go to cloud if you do that is. You can read Marco blog about it here later if you like.  http://marcoceppi.com/2011/11/deploying-the-minecraft-charm/
bekks:  i saw on youtube more ram made the game load more smoother
devish, nice. good to know.
exit
neweruser123: I do not believe in videos other people cheated. :)
hello everyone! someone knows how can i get skype for free? because in software center its only for a fee
devish, maybe you could file a bug report if you get the time ;)
enable the partner repo gaetano
ThinkT510, 11.04
bekks:  its definately real though,  my question now is how would I find the .appdata
raj: 11.04 is no longer supported
neweruser123: maybe ask the minecraft guys ;)
any here?
_cronus_: now eclipse is open so rest is close, + i leave this for the people to figure out :D
neweruser123: Maybe in #minecraft
i mean like in WIndows u go to the directory windows > appdata > roaming
neweruser123 hi.
ok, but I'm just wondering what the best way is to get the latest nginx
using 12.10 unity - the hud seems almost unusable because the drawing of icons has slowed hugely (when looking for a app for instance). Working in things like gimp and getting commands is fine) Is this a bug?
raj: use the latest ubuntu
i still have no audio in ubuntu :s
ThinkT510, that's a pretty drastic way to get the latest nginx :
what version?
:)
raj: we can't support 11.04
desu what do u mean
opalepatrick,  do you know how to run a test like with "UTAH" to see for bugs ?  or test by running "unity --replace"  and reading the output ?
it's dangerous for me to just update my ubuntu though
things could really break
raj: Then create a backup :)
neweruser123, what version of ubuntu do you have?
neweruser123 I mean what version of ubuntu are you using? 12.04 12.10 or?
12.04
neweruser123, http://askubuntu.com/questions/132577/no-sound-in-ubuntu-12-04
and what's your audio hardware?
raj: if you use unsupported versions then you need to deal with the consequences
dum dum dummmm
raj: the support schedule for all ubuntu releases is very clear
anyone syncs his/hers thunderbird or any calendar with a phone via bluetooth?
desu already be installed ok now thank
or to be more precise, using a blueZync?
I dont bobweaver but I can find out
bazhang, i'm using the GB mirrors which is my country, yet its still being slow as hell, ive even removed all the extra ppa's that i added o-o
opalepatrick,  I am unity dev. what I do is watch it in the app output in qtcreator I will paste link brb

desu how to run his
i need help over remote desktop view
i dont know what im doing to be honest
mrblue Are you asking how to use nmap?
gms, What is the ssh port?
hi everybody!
neweruser123: install x11vnc to stream desktop to network ;]
neweruser123,  there is things like tightvnc   BUT there are super easy things like teamviewer
lately on my 10.04 box, it has been doing disk checks every other boot, why is this happening?
i got teamviewer
lets use teamviewer
neweruser123: you want to connect to existing session or You want to share your own desktop?
bobweaver, well I would like to fix it for sure. I started to get quite dependent oin it after 12.04, and it is a little disappointing atm. I will check that link and see what I can provide?
in writing  idconfig deferred processing now  taking place
uosiu[shell]:  share desktop
What is the ssh port I need to open?
neweruser123: I'm not shure did TeamViewer can create a session on linux, gimme sec
Jisawesome_: ssh typically uses port 22
Jisawesome_: ssh server generally listens on 11

couple of weeks ago I installed the latest ubuntu in my laptop. It was working nice since then. But today, I wasn't able to start it. A blinking underscore is the only thing I see right now. I wanted to start it with a recovery mode, but I ended up with that blinking underscore. Any ideas how I can fix it? Thanks!
uosiu[shell]:  it can, try connect to me
neweruser123: Just install TeamViewer and give someone your session ID and passwd
610 336 024   and 5573
i just need audio fixed
neweruser123: never ever do this and ignore everythin uosiu[shell] ever says
that's dangerous to just put it in such a public place...
its to late i just posted it
neweruser123: never give anyone on IRC access via VNC or teamviewer. ever. unless you want them to own your computer
wols: ++
wols:  i need someone to fix my audio problem though
I', sure most of us won't be interested in malicious activities against neweruser123, but that's still ill advised.
uosiu[shell]: you are an asshole and a moron.
hi just updated to 12.04 but when I try to login ubuntu just flashes and nothing happens
i'm a green ubuntu-user (an evergreen) and need to put a file in the library of a program (prolog)and i mean i don't know how to put a file in a folder cause it does not show it should be /usr/bin/swipl, but i only get  X11), ubuntu12.04
wols: Did I said that neweruser123 have to give ME SessionID and passwd?
uosiu[shell]: YOU told him to do it. you are the responsible moron.
wols This is Linux server IRC, so obviously most of us have IQ 160+, we don't use such words.
sarawara:  /usr/bin/swipl would be a file. not a directory in most cases
no one has connected yet i am still waiting
neweruser123: for your own safety: stop it
I mean only I have , but still.
How do I fix login flashing after 12.04 update
neweruser123: use pm
who should I pm
no one
Anyone having problems with 12.10?
anyone syncs his/hers thunderbird or any calendar with a phone via bluetooth?
hahaha linux requiring a high intelligence quotient to use, that's funny.
neweruser123,  there is also google hangout
lordmarshal:  clarify what you mean.. you login and it then goes back to the login screen? try making a new user see if they work. try the guest account>
thelinux, localedef falling down
has anybody done a pxe server setup and used nbd-server rather then nfs-kernel-server?
neweruser123: do not paste these type of information on public channels
ok codemaniac
HELLo how to fix ubuntu not logging in 12.04
how do i change my root password
dr_willis where is the directory prolog is in then?
neweruser123: sudo su - then passwd
neweruser123,  there is no Root passwrd think of it like that
Dr Willis the guest account works
neweruser123, sudo passwd root
But not my regular
sarawara:  no idea. the prolog binary should be in some bin dir. but its support dirs.. not in bin
uosiu[shell]: never advise that please
yes, sudo passwd username
ok done
ok more to the point I need to know how to tell the livecd that is being exported by the nbd server to look for the system via the hard drive rather then /dev/sr0
lordmarshal:  try makinga new user - see if it works for them- if so . then one of your problem users settings or files is the issues. Commonly its the .Xauthority file thats to blame. try removeing/moveing it perhaps.
Can you not become Ubuntu Certified anymore?
i still need someone who can connect to my machine to fix the audio problem though
neweruser123: before fiddling with root account please see the manual https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo
aetcore: I doubt you ever could.
aetcore You can.
I have a quick logout question (ubuntu 12.10) after xubuntu install for desktop environment.
neweruser123 No need for that, root account is disabled by default. Though sudo/su can grant you root.
thelinux: Really?
dr_willis, how can you find a folder when you don't know it's name exactly? where are programs installed?
neweruser123: you're not gonna get that thype of help here
codemaniac: it's already too late thanks to "experts" like fantaghir and uosiu[shell]
aetcore,  for store or something else ?
bekks: Yes.
sarawara:  try the locate command. ive never used prolog. so no idea where it does stuff
thelinux: they have removed the online courses from Canonical Store
xangua: he will. by people who need a enother proxy or botnet CC
sarawara:  'locate prolog' perhaps.
aetcore: Oh.
ive been on the IRC for hours now though i just need my audio fixed
wols, thx bro :D
out of curiosity what irc clients do you guys prefer?
aetcore,  there was alot of talk abut making Ubuntu developer videos at this paste UDS keep your eyes on the youtube channel
thelinux: the equiv to becoming Redhat Cert. about 6 months ago they used to have Online Courses starting from 800 YSD
* kyle__ sighs.
Dr Willis??????
sarawara: what is it you are trying to do find a particular file?
neweruser123: What's your audio problem?
neweruser123:  and what have you done to try to fix it yourself? you are assuming someone can just connect and magically fix it?
lordmarshal: >??
neweruser123: Did you already follow those links?
bobweaver: thanks for that i will check it out :)
bobweaver, I think I might do that as a last resort, as I would have to go on a learning curve. In the meantime, I think I would like to resolve? Just a time thing tbh
dr_willis:  yes i think so
Really think I will be wasting my time in here lol
neweruser123, have U tried pavucontrol?
Hmmmm, Why Ubuntu disabled root passwd? It is ubuntu-only idea, not described in FHS etc...
OK.  Anyone using xfce or other gnome desktop on 12.10, could you try something for me to test a bug?  I want to see if it's xubuntu specific, or at a deeper layer.
neweruser123: Nothing in this world can be magically fixed :)
sarawara: linux doesn't put programs into single directories. documentation is under /usr/share/doc binaries under one of various /bin directories, librearis in a /usr/lib or somilar, etc.
aetcore: Nice.
Hi, I just updated to 12.10 and I can no longer mount my NAS. The Kernel says  Connecting to DFS root not implemented yet. Any ideas on how to fix it?
im not sure i install pulseaudio and alsa-base and restarted did all updates/upgrades also
sarawara: you can see where everything goes with e.g. "dpkg -L <packagename>" for ubuntu packages
Edit your main menu (the one with all the applications), and uncheck an item in a sub-menu.  See if your choice was reflected in the menu.
how to install an nederbird addon if it's not available in the addons list, yet have the package
i checked the settings and still no sound
neweruser123: Did you follow the links you've just been given?
...an thunderbird addon
opalepatrick,  you can run "ubuntu-bug unity" then when you get to launchpad it will ask you to descibe bug then you can see if there is one like it out there all ready also , hope that heklps
Guys leave neweruser123 alone, he asked a normal question, no need to be rude.
bekks:  im viewing one of them now
thanks bobweaver
thelinux: I am not rude at all - I am just asking a question.
neweruser123, and some lspci or sth to see if aaudio is there?
neweruser123: have you unmuted your sound :) also are you speakers registering?
your**
aetcore, that was good one
i am using built in speakers in my monitor
neweruser123:  so they are hdmi connected?
connected via USB or Audio Out?
neweruser123: Did they ever work until now?
for my class i need to insert a file (i'm a beginner and the prof has given a file we cannot write ourselve) to put in the library
yes HDMI connection and works in Windows
gnome classic or unity?
but when i boot into ubuntu no sound available
maanda_: unity is a shell for gnome
sarawara: cannot you use the copy
maanda_ unity? depends on your preferences?
neweruser123: http://voices.canonical.com/david.henningsson/2012/04/14/audio-over-hdmi-and-displayport-in-ubuntu-12-04/
neweruser123:  for my hdmi monitor. i have to run the pavucontrol program then seledt  it as the output device on the output devices tab.
i could use copy if i'd know where to put it
sarawara: have you tried cp ?
maanda_: For my bug?  Gnome classic
xangua, is it? I thought shell is command prompt
is pavucontrol also palsepaudio?
wich is the best program for developers like dreamweaver in windows?
maanda_: Quite depends on your taste, Unity is a lot eye candy and has new useful features.
PulseAudio*
sarawara: what exactly you trying to achieve ?
i am using KDE
neweruser123:  its a spefific tool that configures pulse audio
reading package lists for 44 mins now...
Hi, i am on ubuntu 12.04 and want to create a folder in my /usr folder. How can i do this? The option is currently greyed out when i right click in the folder
dr_willis:  what is the sudo command to download it
maanda_: I used to really like gnome classic (and still do), but I got used to Unity and have seen how great actually is.
neweruser123:  now is the first time you seem to mention that rather large fact about kde,
martinux: Why do you want to create a folder in the system folder /usr ?
neweruser123:  sudo apt-get install packagename
gaetano: are you writing html/css or are you working in something like java and c?
martinux: why do you want to create a folder there?
codemaniax, i do not use commands very often, so i'm not very good at it, but i could try, copy seems pretty straight forward, but i'd need the name of the directory to put it in. I need to put a file in the folder of swipl, in it's library
what about kde? and whats the package name called again
neweruser123:   and the packaetg name is  pavucontrol
martinux: Go to terminal, type sudo nautilus, and you will get root access to every folder there.
neweruser123:  kde uses differnt sound system i belive.. i dont use kde.
should i delete KDE
and go to ubuntu unity
bekks: I am new to ubuntu and i am just choosing a random folder to install Java. Anything but /home/username goes, really.
sarawara: you should have a message
neweruser123:  you may want to switch to unity  to see if sound works in it.
codemaniax and i do not know where the swipl is
how do i switch
sarawara: does the destination folder "swipl" exists ?
neweruser123: login screen
martinux in terminal "sudo mkdir /usr/<foldername>" otherwise "gksudo nautilus(assuming you're using gnome)" to run nautilus as root.
i dont have login screen its autoboot
xangue ubottu: Thanks for heads up.
neweruser123:  sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop   to install the full ubuntu desktop. then logout and select ubuntu at the login screen
ok
neweruser123:  and disable the lame auto-login on the login screen
xangua ubottu: *
Thank you very much guys
thank you.., i am finding it hard to settle to just one, both get the job one way or another..
decbot: im working with HTML/CSS and java and PHP
ok dr_willis
sarawara: you can use the find command, find -name "swipl" -type d -print 2>/dev/null
you could also specify gnome-desktop inside your xinitrc cant you?
to find the directory on your system
martinux: Why are you making a folder in usr, if I may ask?
oops sorry for that
aetcore: .xinitrc is only used for specific sessions selected from the login screen, or from startx
neweruser123: did you install ubuntu desktop already?
neweruser123:  use lightdm
codemaniac, i'll try
ok i chose lightdm
dr_willis: yeah i actually from Arch :) ubuntu is the server of choice :)
actually come from**
gaetano: geany might be as close as you get to dreamweaver. some people might use eclipse.  but even something like gedit, emacs, or vim could work
geany has some nice fetures,
does anyone know how to connect to a wifi with the terminal?
you can install dreamweaver with playonlinux ?
dr_willis: Yes, I've been using geany, it's great.
Sublime Text 2 is an awesome Editor
abailarri:  with the various iw* commands
gaetano: but I don't know of anything of the top of my head that does code completion and site synchronization
thelinux: No reason, really. Just finding a folder to install programs in. What folders is 'standard' for installing programs in?
am i allowed to install photoshop cs6 using WIne?
Sublime has code completetion, and rsync could do site syncs ?
martinux:  depends on what you are installing.  user binaries can go in 'bin' in their home.
:)
martinux: package managers do that for you
Yeah you can install dreamweaver 8 with play on linux
My KDE looks so NICE
will i lose it
my computer is in standby mode... how do I wake it up?
martinux: Install software in your home directory, you may damage something there. Software will automatically install in root.
neweruser123:  you select whatver desktop you want at the login screen
thelinux: ok thanks
I prefer awesome window manager.
desu: xmonad is good to
decbot: ok thanks! so they are right for develop site!?
afternoon gents
have you trued both? Which one do you perfer?
this has me tearing my hair out....
i installed ubuntu 12.04, but the pc freezes all the time and I have to restart
trying to install 12.10 as a dual boot with my win 7
aetcore I've heard of it, but haven't tried it myself yet.
only Adobe Photoshop CS2 works under steam according to wineHQ, cant i use the latest CS6 ?
exit
gaetano: well, it's not as complete as dreamweaver, but better than window's notepad and OSX's textedit
neweruser123: check the appdb or ask in #winehq
can someone help me out
how do i join #winehq
so guys, how to de-frag hard drive on linux? xD
I tried using the installer to boot up and it would on;t boot back into windows
neweruser123: /join #winehq
gaetano: it will do the syntax highlighting, but it won't always catch bad code
Marikos: so you installed first ubuntu. then win7
no
gaetano; and you'll have to use something like gftp or rsync to upload/download your site files
how can I make an ubuntu backup server that backs up my windows server files every night
allu3: Win 7 came preinstalled, used the installer to repartition and install ubuntu
desu: You don't need to defragment harddrive in linux. One of the reason why Linux is more superior than Windows.
Hey
Marikos: and now it still bots to windows?
desu: not required really, you could use fsck
any steam beta testers here? :)
Marikos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair might just do the trick :)
how can I make an ubuntu backup server that backs up my windows server files every night
i have steam
thelinux (I know, but I was hoping others that weren't aware would become aware by reading the responses)
allu3: It was only booting to windows, yes.  So I used EasyBCD to ass an entry for ubuntu to the windows bootloader, and when i try to boot there, it complains about missing or corrupt files
hpprinter100: I applied with that survey, looks I didn't get in.
allu3: I'll check that out.  I'm nooted into the live CD atm
decbot: are these programs findable on ubuntu software center?
that has nothin to do with my issue
Marikos: great since you can run that utility from live session :)
hpprinter100: Did they even let beta to those 1000? I can't find any information about that, since even I applied.
the ubuntu server is the backup server i want it  to go out and copy the windows files to it
desu: Ok.
kolaracdn: Mount the windows shares and back them up. Or use a full blown solution like Bacula.
I'm a bad person.
gaetano: I think so, I know they are in synaptic

I installed kiwix - it does not open the file *. zim
allu3: I'll try that, waiting for the installer to finish, was trying a reinstall
thelinux: shame was hopeing they would release it after widnows 8
rm -rf /*
Marikos: check first if the reinstallation worked, if you still have problems you can then try again with the live cd :)
HI i just installed ubuntu via netinstall & i'm looking to create a custom session with xcompmgr & awn. Can anyone tell me how to do this from the command line that i am currently on :?  I already have xcompmgr & awn installed, i just ned to know how to create a custom session...
desu great command lol
I like you bot :)
decbot: so here in ubuntu there is not a program good like deamwaver for develop sites!? do u suggest to install windows alongside ubuntu if i need to develop!?
furycd001:  make a .xsession (or was it .Xsession)  and startx should use that file to run whatver X apps you want.
what?
desu: be careful about saying stuff like that, because *someone* out there is stupid enough to do it
desu: probably as root, at that
furycd001:  if using a login screen you can make a custome Xwhatever.desktop session file
How to use xar, I don't know how to extract with it, here is the man: http://pastebin.com/LBg6gxTk
Sorry, I wanted to see if the bot would warn people.
I want to extract a dmg-file
Finnish_: xar -xf filename
didn't add in the sudo in case of uneducated curious users.
dr_willis: how do i make a .xsession :?
desu: I did that for fun once on a system I was going to wipe, as a normal user.  Wanted to see what happened.  All it did was remove that user.  Dissapointing.
furycd001:  its a simple text file.
bekks, OK, thanks, I'll give it a co
go
furycd001:  example (2 lines)    xterm &     exec icewm
gaetano: http://www.linuxalt.com/linux-alternatives-to/windows/dreamweaver.html
kyle__: yeah
desu: this is a warning: do not ever post such commands here, with sudo or not, thank you
dr_willis: How do i create this txt file :?
kyle__: and tbh it does you good to accidentally do rm -rf * in your homedir every now and again
bekks, Thanks alot!!!
Tm_T alright, thanks for the warning, but is there anyway of seeing what the bot will react to?
furycd001:  err... with whatever text editor you like... You sure you shouldent be spending some time learning more basic skills if this is new to you?
kyle__: it clears out all the crap you haven't worked on for too long, and all the important stuff should be backed up or in version control anyway ;-)
allu3: thanks!
desu: pm it
that sucks we missed out on crossweaver give away of software for games. :( and 12 months free support
you can do that!?
desu: the bot only responds to commands
gordonjcp: Heh. Depends on how good you are at backing up....but then again the people who are overly anal about backups probably don't have that much cruft lying around.
haha im not new to linux, but im new to building a system from scratch...
ArchOpenBox:  whats amazing is that freeday  was the first time id crossover mentioned in AGES...
gordonjcp: rsync backups or lvm snapshots?  Which do you do?
first time ive seen crossover mentioned in ages.. ;)
kyle__: rsync because I'm lazy
gaetano: you can run dreamweaver in wine if you must have dreamweaver. In linux, you're more likely to use more simple tools to accomplish a task than using a single complex tool like dreamweaver
as double-clicking on the display nickname in the box? xchat..
gordonjcp: i don't htink it's lazy.  It's a taste thing.  Some systems I like the snapshots, sometimes I do periodic rysnc backups.
kyle__: frequently I do tar c | ssh <server> "tar x"
Hello!
Im here to tell an import thing
kyle__: incidentally that's an excellent way of copying files with spaces in their names across the network ;-)
Deluxo, Hi
dr_willis: Hey well they run the code for Mac using linux kernel and port windows games to mac users now. So they big money now. Get all the richy rich kids that could careless to hack computer games.
decbot: is wine a virtual machine?
how do you uninstall something I apt-get installed before?
gaetano: no, it's a set of libraries
raj: apt-get remove
gaetano: no, it is a compatibility layer
thanks
gaetano: so, in linux I use geany and vim to edit my html/css/javascript/php, use chrome and firefox to view the edits, and use gftp to upload the changes to my site
what linux games are easy to install and nice to play?
heheh.
gaetano, If you are new to wine I 100% suggest looking at playonlinux
ArchOpenBox:  macs use  BSD as the core last i looked...
on CCSM changing the: Vblank, Vertex Buffer, frame buffer switching to off causes better unity and compiz performance on i5 core!
decbot: if you find yourself doing that a lot, look at a deployment framework like fabric
dr_willis: a very lose definition of bsd
decbot: and don't use ftp
on CCSM changing the: Vblank, Vertex Buffer, frame buffer switching to off causes better unity and compiz performance on i5 core!! Please someone who has a rank of somes sort of inform the unity taem
as this is not a bug
gaetano: wine "Wine Is Not an Emulator" ... it is not a virtual machine, but an application that lets you run native windows binaries in linux
but a matter of default preference on out of the box settings
ah I like this bot.
codemaniac i do not understand your :  find -name "swipl" -type d -print 2>/dev/null, but with the 'locate prolog ' of diensthunt i get (amongst many other like these) /usr/lib/swi-prolog/xpce-6.6.66/prolog/lib/pce_image.pl
piglit:  the various humble bundles often have nice linux games. :) been playing Rochard lately
Deluxo,  maybe tell others in #ubuntu-unity ?
dr_willis: actually it's a Mach microkernel, with a userland somewhat derived from FreeBSD
sure
going there now
decbot: Exactly, name itself says it, but people always tell otherwise.
how do you setup an ubuntu server that allows ubuntu desktops to login (like the windows Active Directory) and allows them to access their home directories
bobweaver: Sure going there now
gordonjcp:  all stuff i dont worry about. :) since i wont own a mac.
Deluxo,  there is also auto testing things like UTAH  that are out there
dr_willis: the point is, they don't run BSD
dr_willis: i'll google them
dnk123: By creating multiple accounts on the box the users log in at.
thanx
so i cant create user accounts on the server so people can sign in on a client machine
gordonjcp: gftp supporst ssh2, yeah, I know what you mean
decbot: so with wine i can even run photoshop cs6?
bobweaver: He should try crossweaver, they giveaway now free copy of it.
Deluxo,  https://launchpad.net/utah
decbot: you can do some sneaky deployment tricks with git, too ;-)
dr_willis: your right ,but think of how easy it was to port over linux code to mac run BSD.
nooooooooooooo still no sound
i switched to ubuntu desktop
gaetano:  Download crossweaver, they giveaway now free copies of it.
neweruser123:  and you ran that pavucontrol tool?
how do I uninstall a ppa installed package?
wait il run it now
thelinux,  I have never tried crossover But I do hear good things also on that project
thelinux: 24 hrs is up. :(
thelinux: 24 hrs is up. :(
neweruser123:  that was sort of the whole point of going to unity was to run that tool. ;)
ArchOpenBox: I can send you my free copy if you want it?
pavucontrol is pulseaudiocontrol right?
ThinkT510, `sudo: ppa-purge: command not found`
gaetano: winedb.org has the offical answers. I've ran Photoshop CS5.5 in wine, and I know Illustrator in CS5.5 will not run, but I havent tried dreamweaver
thelinux: hmm... would love it! is it a tar ball?
neweruser123:  no.. its pavucontrol
run  pavucontrol  from the terminal...
no idea what the icons may be named...
raj: install ppa-purge first
ArchOpenBox: I actually downloaded all linux versiosn of it ;) I have bin and tar ball.
*versions
how do i run pavucontrol whats the command
pavucontrol  IS the command....
i totaly know nothing about ubuntu
thelinux: how to get it from you?
decbot: and where i find wine? on software center?
yeah how to "run" it ?
open a terminal and type it in...
gaetano: yes
gaetano: it should be there
ArchOpenBox: Is it possible to send from here files?
allu3: well that explains it... for some reason the 12.10 i have isn't efi compatible...
or use the alt-f2 run dialog..
thank ThinkT510, that was it
dccsend,but you need a server to request file the last time I remember running dcc send
or click the big dash icon and type it in. ;)
ArchOpenBox: I'm sending you.
can i root my android from ubuntu
basketballstar:  with some phones. Yes.. #android may know more
ArchOpenBox: I have, deb, rpm, bin and tar. You're using arch?
dr_willis:  i cant get it working
can u show me on teamviewer
I distro jump so tar ball will do for compiling
I removed the nginx package using `sudo apt-get remove nginx` and the ppa using `sudo ppa-purge ppa:nginx/stable`, but `nginx -v` still spits out a version
sarawara: sorry i was afk for a while
not sure what's wrong here
neweruser123:  nope... open a terminal, type in the command - hit return... whats not working with it?
sarawara: have you been able to locate the directory ?
everytime i go for installing 12.04 it shows an error and installation stops
gaetano: check out winedg.org, it will have the answers and the best help on how to get CS6 running in linux
my remote desktop service seems to have died or locked up while I was working on an image, I still am connected over ssh. Any idea on how to restart the remote desktop server, so i can get in and save the image I'm working on
raj: dpkg -S $(which nginx)
i cant hear any sound
i tried alternatives and many times but not able to install it
how to change the name ?
neweruser123:  so you DID run the command?
nginx-full: /usr/sbin/nginx
yes i ran it
jrib ^^
did you look in the output devices tab?
how to change the nickname ?\
ArchOpenBox: I don't have tar, only bin for arch.
decbot: ok! thank u for help!
thelinux: bin is fine! ;)
ArchOpenbBox: I'm sending accept it ;)
ah damn still no sound...
<dr_willis> how to change the nickname here ?
neweruser123:  did you actually change anything>
yes dr_willis
everything..
Guest91114:  /nick BillGatesIsMyDad
i have been on IRC for over 3 hours now
neweruser123:  does output devices tab show a HDMI device?
yes but no audio comes out
ok
I'm ok with this
thelinux: that didn't work
i no longer need help, as i don't need to work anymore
jrib: raj@raj-ubuntu:~$ sudo apt-get autoremove nginx
E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11: Resource temporarily unavailable)
neweruser123:  youa re playing somnthing thats making sound right now>
my dad is rich
thanks
E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it?
ArchOpenBox: Do you have skype?
yes i put a mp3 in repeat
raj: that usually means you have update-manager or some other apt process running
i am facing the probelm with the installation of 12.04
ArchOpenBox: Or should I send you this over email to protect your privacy?
i copied the image using the startup creator
thelinux: I'll message you in private
still not able to install cause it aborts at the middle of the process stating that error 05
codemaniac: is the second 'lib' the library of prolog in this line?  /usr/lib/swi-prolog/xpce-6.6.66/prolog/lib/pce_image.pl
im giving up with ubuntu
jrib, oh sorry, I opened synaptic
im going back to windows
jrib, however, it's saying Package nginx is not installed, so not removed
neweruser123:  while playing the sounds. on the 'playback tab' do you see a sound meter moveing at the bottom?
yes i see it moving
but no audio comes out
<neweruser123>
why
exactly what i always thing when using windows neweruser123
neweruser123: Did you unmute your speakers in Ubuntu?
they arent muted
they never were muted
 i have had no sound for 1 month
neweruser123: Did you check with alsamixer and pavucontrol?
jrib, http://paste.ofcode.org/KEYRmHDhu887cHpPVCzE4H
sarawara: in Unix file systems lib/ contains system or application libraries
i checked both yes
that is a yes?
raj: look at what you typed
omg
yes
jrib, http://paste.ofcode.org/Yr7NveUJ9xwk4gtVUE2PUL
i mean codemaniac if i put the file there, my other programs will be able to read that file?
raj: then just do: sudo apt-get remove nginx-full
i dont know any one fix the problem
raj: you still on 11.04?
ive talked to like 6 people and yet no one knows
sarawara: make sure the lib/ has been included in the $PATH variable too
<neweruser123> what is your problem?
no sound -_-
so that system can recognize your file
jrib, now `nginx -v` does gives `bash: /usr/sbin/nginx: No such file or directory
`
i faced the same problem but selecting the device will helps
beautiful
thanks
<newuser123
neweruser123: Last time I seen audio problems was with linux mint had to reload driver. Before that was with 9.10 ubuntu and Amorka
its a hdmi connection to my monitor to graphics card
I created a web server with ubuntu server, but I can only acces it from my networki
try a normal analog connection/speakers - see if they work. it maybe some odd hdmi bug.
i am normal analgue stereo output
the settings
jrib, now I did `sudo add-apt-repository ppa:nginx/stable`, but `nginx -v` gives output as though i don't have nginx installed
Hi, can anyone tell me how to enable FFM in 12.04 please?
raj: that command only adds a repository to your software sources; it doesn't install anything
oh
ok
so after that i need to apt-get install it
can anyone just please connect to my machine
this is the last chance to fix it
got some problem in transmission client on ubuntu 12.04
then i cant be bothered with ubuntu anymore
cant set he proxy server
really?
neweruser123: With xbox 360 had to use both hdmi and speaker connection. Hand to cut protective case around hdmi to get stereo inline to reach... Hopefully you wont have to do that with a video card
got some problem in transmission client on ubuntu 12.04
cant set he proxy server
i doubt it
ok how can I delete Ubuntu from my harddrive
sory, anybody have link with drivers to ubuntu
neweruser123: Format it over BIOS
<neweruser123> install windows ]
to main board
Kiranvotio:  i already got both dualboot
sorry for my bad english
would I go into harddrive partitioner and delete all ubuntu partitions
Jeregge343: I don't think you need drivers for motherboard, Linux will usually work out of the box.
I created a web server with ubuntu server, but I can only acces it from my networki
neweruser123: can delete partition in windows.. with partition manager
ok thx
but if i turn on the PC, it will have GRUB installed wont it
and not the default boot
if you are planning to install fresh windows then it'll work if you format ubuntu parttions it will posr a grub problem
anybody zna polski??
newuser123
nie
i need to remove grub + ubuntu
Jeregge343: What drivers were you worried about?  The only things that sometimes need addition files/drivers are certain wifi or sound cards.  And those can (usually) be fixed by apt-get installing the right firmware package.
neweruser123: You need to re-install another bootloader if you want to remove grub.
thats not possible newuser123
i need driver to  souncard
the default windows bootloader?
*soundcard
Jeregge343: Do you know which soundcard it is?
how to install another bootloader kyle_ ?
Jeregge343: lspci will help.
neweruser123: hope you backed up system! :)
i have no important files
'ello
Kiranvotio: No idea.  I'm still bitter about grub replacing lilo.
Jeregge343: Why do you need drivers? Almost every hardware works out of the box.
neweruser123, What windows release do you have right now?
<handuel> hello
windows 7
i might get 8 not sure..
I am trying to make a live boot device with 12.10 on Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger). I downloaded Ubuntu, followed the instructions to create a bootable USB stick which all worked successfully, however the computer says it cannot read the device. So I tried burning a CD with the boot image (again, as per instructions) and again the computer does not recognise it. Any idea what's up?
kyle this is integrated in msi g41m-p28
I really wouldn't get windows 8
I created a web server with ubuntu server, but I can only acces it from my networki
il be back in ubuntu in 1 year to see if the audio problem is fixed...
for now i just need to remove it
<kyle__> i faced that probem many times everytime i left with the option of linux or windows fresh installation
neweruser123, If you do not have a install disc go to baskup in W7 and make a recovery disc for loading the MS bootloader.
Jisawesome_: are you on Ubuntu Server or Desktop?
neweruser123: Not in my lifetime windows 8 has major problems.
ubuntu server
Jeregge343: Have you installed linux yet, or are you waiting until you know if there is a sound driver for that card?
aetcore: he said server
ok forget win8, il stick to 7
newuser123 problem can be solved
no i not
how Kiranvotio
Jisawesome_: are you on a public network or private network?
i am on my home wifi
try to select the different devices from the list it may works
i faced a simia r kind of probelm
already tried
i had this problem 1 month
ciao
which version of ubuntu u r using
?
12.04
neweruser123: : what soundcard is it
Jisawesome_: everyone on your wifi should be able to see your web server, however you need to port forward your router if you want anyone outside of your wifi to see your webserver
Jeregge343: It's got onboard Intel ICH7 audio.  THat's worked out of the box for years.  You don't need anything special, just install.
i dont know its a graphics card to monitor
xfx HD 6870
monitor has built in speakers
Thanks aetcore
neweruser123: what model of computer
amd motherboard socket FM1 (APU)
its a custom build
neweruser: ah...
yh?
thx
neweruser123: that makes things more tricky with drivers
neweruser123: lol still going? how long have you had ubuntu installed? you could install it from scratch using gnome and you *might* get a little further
Excuse,when i used the firefox after a period of time,i can't open the right click menu and drop-down menu.How to solve it? My system is ubuntu 12.04
neweruser123: you must have a sound card though
handuel:  built in audio i use
aetcore:  i can do that from scratch but how?
handuel: hes using his moniter, and hes using hdmi, which falls under some gfx drivers
aetcore: ah kk
neweruser123: do u know what graphics card it is
i have one more question
aetcore: Hu.  I never actually looked into how to set that up (audio over hdmi).  Have you?
yes its HD 6870  brand is XFX
Jeregge343: Shoot.
neweruser123: i was suggesting you download the iso, burn it to USB and try reinstalling directly, OR actually i have a better idea
have you got the live cd?
i can burn a new CD
wher i can scherch driver to hp laserjet 3150
boot into the live cd, which will load the drivers for your card anyway
kyl__ come to think of it I have audio from my monitor, it just worked out of the box though, so I never thought about it
How can I edit the items that start up after login, but from the terminal?
then load up chrome and go play some tunes on youtube
ok
what does apt-get autoremove do??
kyle__: no i havnt, not yet anyway
Any idea why I would not be able to open up ports 6666-6669?  I have opened succcessfully
I have an Ubuntu box plugged into my TV and I want to autoload XBMC but I have no keyboard and mouse. I do have ssh access though
x
I need to install the AMD/ATI Catalyst driver can someone tell me how
Jeregge343: http://www.openprinting.org/printers
Any idea why I would not be able to open up ports 6666-6669?  I have opened successfully many other ports but these I don't seem to be able to.
neweruser123: search in the Dash for "jockey"
quit
Jeregge343: Is it a business printer?
oh thx
blazemore: Check Ubuntu TV is you own a Smart TV.
Kiranvotio: you want /quit
neweruser123: by using the live cd you will be able to find out if gnome + ati drivers will support your HDMI cable, otherwise you might be stuck soundless, unless you start to custom patch your kernel etc
blazemore: if*
subman: you should say how you are trying to open them since no ports are blocked  on ubuntu by default
Jeregge343: http://www.openprinting.org/printer/HP/HP-LaserJet_3150
thelinux: No it's just a normal TV, I just am using a small PC as a media centre
neweruser123: if the default packages arent working that might be the only way (Kernel patching)
il reinstall ubuntu gnome or unity
jrib: im pretty certain ports are blocked on ubuntu
I just want it to autoload XBMC but have no keyboard and mouse. I do have shell access
neweruser123: you dont have to go through all of that
its quicker
Jeregge343: Looked it up it's not supported on anything but windows.  Shame.  THey used to all support PCL or PS emulation.
if you just use the livecd to boot you will find out sooner
handuel: no services are running by default, sure.  But there are no firewall rules up by default.
no
blazemore: Ok. I've been using XBMC.
sorry bat i don't now what you mean  'buissnes printer'
jrib: no, newer releases use ufw, which blocks ports
handuel: hmm
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCD
Does anyone know how to boot into BIOS to boot from CD on an hp pavilion dv6-7043? I've tried holding F2/F10 @ startup and it doesn't work...one of them even makes my computer display a screeching sound.
jrib: I had to open port 80 with sudo ufw allow 80 to use my webserver
hi
aquethys: tried del?
ok igot this file "amd-driver-installer-catalyst-12.10-x86.x86_64.run" how do i run it?
and or tab?
k I will
thanks
brb
why would i be getting sscrambled up graphics in ubuntu?
Jeregge343: If you want to look at which printers are supported by CUPS (and theirfore linux, OSX, BSD, etc) look at  http://www.openprinting.org/printers
wols: I see you somewhat beat me to that.
neweruser123: can you run it?
handuel: on what? 12.10?
aetcore:  how do i run it?
kyle__: and his printer is a paperweight
jrib: 12.04
double click it lol :s im not sure
an one more times i say thx
neweruser: open a terminal
whats the file extension?>
jrib: threw me too. couldn't believe it
wols: If you have the right firmware on the jet direct card you can network-scan from it still..... I know. Doesn't help much.
<Fraz>:hi
change to file location with cd
then run chmod +x <filename>
freezes
nothing hapens
hi
neweruser123: open a terminal with ctrl+alt+t
kyle__: good thing the cheapo new samsung clp-320 here has linux drivers. even when they are from samsung: not exactly good but they at least wrok :)
neweruser123: where did you save the file
handuel:  now what
amd-driver-installer-catalyst-12.10-x86.x86_64.run
neweruser123: in wat folder though
here /home/tan/Downloads/amd-driver-installer-catalyst-12.10-x86.x86_64.run
handuel: amd.com drivers? from their website?
ah kk
type in cd /home/tan/Downloads/
that poor kid gets one bad advice after the other. damn, #ubuntu lives up to its reputation
and then chmod +x amd-driver-installer-catalyst-12.10-x86.x86_64.run
handuel: sh  amd-driver-installer-catalyst-12.10-x86.x86_64.run
wols: lol :D
and then ./amd-driver-installer-catalyst-12.10-x86.x86_64.run
wols: wat do u mean about bad advice
so any idea about why im getting scrambled up text and buttons?
wols: he asked me how to run the file and I'm telling him
handuel: I mean you should be +q asap. even when I soon will get it probably
handuel: you are a danger to the public in other words
wols: what have I done wrong
bash: cd: /home/tan/downloads/: No such file or directory
handuel: yes, and when the next ubuntu update of kernel or Xorg comes around he will have a problem
handuel: why does a 6870 need drivers from amd.com?
wols: I didn't tell him to use the drivers
hdmi sound
wols: he merely asked me how to run the file
handuel: you are enabling him
how to locate thunderbird dir? tried wia termianl, tried via "search" + checked "Show hidden files"?
wols: which I told him correctly
Kyle
aetcore: ok, and the fglrx drivers from ubuntu have no hdmi sound?
nope
not that i know of at least
aetcore: why would they miss those?
nouveau had hdmi sound for me :D
why doesn't he just use nouveau
aetcore: note: fglrx, not radeon
handuel: cause he has a 6870
ah kk
oops
the  ./amd-driver-installer-catalyst-12.10-x86.x86_64.run doesnt work
im in the correct CD location
" Permission denied"
use chmod +x filename
then run it
need sudo?
handuel: sh filename
and run it with sudo
jrib, It is forwarded through my dsl modem to my router to the computer.
wols: i chriped in when he said he was using kde, so my suggestion was instead of reinstalling anything (because he wasnt getting anywhere) was to boot live cd and try see if Ubuntu natively gave him HDMI sound, not some other wierd build he had going on
wait so"  sudo amd-driver-installer-catalyst-12.10-x86.x86_64.run"
neweruser123: sudo sh amd-driver-installer-catalyst-12.10-x86.x86_64.run
ok its working
but as wols has suggested it might not fix the issue
wols: is there any reason to use sh filename as apposed to ./filename
and flgx as he suggested might be a better course of action
when I add `ppa:nginx/stable` to my ubuntu repo, and then `sudo apt-get install nginx`, I still end up with 0.8.54, even after i `sudo apt-get update`
neweruser123: Most likely, you will have issues now whenever you upgrade the kernel.
handuel: yes, you don't need to +x it
wols: ah kk
handuel: one less command to enter wrongly for neweruser123
neweruser123: and when X upgrades
noooooo it says " a prevoiu sinstall of the fglrx driver has been detected"
im ubuntu server, and archlinux for desktop, so a lot of low level stuff i know about specifcally Ubuntu and its Desktop, and or packages surrounding it im not an expert in
neweruser123: and you can get this driver from ubuntu directly, installing it like any other package
it says i either remove the old one or --force
wols:  i want the latest AMD one though
neweruser123: that's a very stupid thing to do, especially for you
and for your videocard utterly useless
i installed the post-release update
neweruser123: wols is right, drivers are always better using package manager
from jockey
lol, wols play nice
aetcore: I was a lot more explicit earlier actually calling people names who deserved it
and everyone in here is doing stupid things, so do it
*I
neweruser123: I had the nvidia ones from their website a while back, and everytime I recieved a kernel update I had to reinstall X
Hey, so why is it that every time I try to chmod +x something so I can run it, it *never* works?
dakine: as wols stated you can usually use sh, and how do u mean it doesn't work
while i admit, some of the advice given or the questions asked are questionable, #ubuntu is for people to learn at the end the day :)
will this mean ubuntu will never be able to be used for gaming
dakine: cna you elaborate?
dakine: do you own the file(s)?
neweruser123: not for a long time
neweruser123: no that doesn't mean it.
i own the file
neweruser123: I use ubuntu for gaming
handuel: you can set up dkms for that
already
it's a java executable/bin
dakine the java installer?
neweruser123: Steam are/have released Steam on Linux which is cool, but i dont know of any big AAA games natively ported to linux
finding a directory via terminal gives no results (thunderbird dir). nor via "Search" (with "show hidden enabled). any suggestions
?
dakine: Is it a jar file?
dakine: is it the java bin installer, or a jar file
n1: 1) what directory are you looking for and 2) what did you literally type?
neweruser123: how did you try to find it?
hola
yeats thunderbird dir
i went to jockey
how does ubuntu manage repo switches?
when I add `ppa:nginx/stable` to my ubuntu repo, and then `sudo apt-get install nginx`, I still end up with 0.8.54, even after i `sudo apt-get update`
a sec...
alguien q me pueda ayudar con los comandos para instalar una impresora hp
it says i need to restart now... if this doesnt work after the fifth restart i will remove ubuntu and reburn the latest iso
and reinstall it
n1: which thunderbird dir and why?
<neweruser123> go for it LOL
jrib, http://paste.ofcode.org/nLEuzXyaq7HUfHRKNVHGF7
jrib, I think it is a case of my isp blocking the irc ports.  80, 25535, 22 all work correctly.
Sorry, it's not a jar - it's a shell script that requires java (which I have and all). When I try to run it with ./ it gives me permission denied - so I see that it's not executable - so I try to sudo chmod +x it, and it still does not let me run it with error 'permission denied'. Again, I own the file.
subman: possible
neweruser123: commitment you have is admirable :)
join #ubuntu-es
lol
Kiranvotio:  ive lost like 5 hours of my life in ubuntu today at this point i might aswell try it
Guest7578: '/join #ubuntu-es'
yeats need to install an addon manually (t.bird addon). have the package, so need to navigate to t.bird dir
Does anyone here know anything about the Uverse emergency battery
ok restarting now...
n1: it's in $HOME/.thunderbird
raj: so you did not add a repository with the package "nginx" in it (either you did not add the repository correctly, or you forgot to run apt-get update, or the repository does not have a "nginx" package)
t.bird, isnt that Thunderbird? and didnt that get the axe?
lately on my 10.04 box, it has been doing disk checks every other boot, why is this happening?
if it ain't works better leave it
newuser123
aetcore: yes and no
jrib, `sudo add-apt-repository ppa:nginx/stable
n1, there is an option to install local addons in the addon manager at the button located on the left side of the search
`
yeats: i thought Moz kinda dropped developing on it? am i wrong?
dakine: if you right click the file, then select properties, and then permissions is allow executing this file checked
and sudo apt-get update
<neweruser123> take care while removing the ubuntu  that may pose the serious error than this
jrib, anything else after that?
aetcore: 'kinda dropped developing on it' != 'get the axe', but yes
handuel: when I check it - it immediately unchecks. Ubuntu is babysitting me too much :(
yeats: i see, thank you
_cronus_ you mean within thunderbird addon manager? tried but there's no blueZync addon there
dakine: is it on a memory stick by any chance
raj: sudo apt-get update
i did
handuel: yes it is
raj: then do the apt-cache policy nginx
hi
i need help
n1, yes. at the addon manager there is a botton right next to the search textbox.
dakine: that uses fat32, that does not support unix permissions
jrib, http://paste.ofcode.org/4R74BZ6K4FtHXp87TNFhYp
to install a photosmart hp d110
dakine: copy it to your harddrive
handuel: ahhh, i see. thanks.
raj: pastebin your /etc/apt/sources.list*
raj: wait!  I see "natty" there.  Are you running natty?
hi all ,is there channel for ubuntu to arm cpu?
ok, so I must update?
ubuntu
ubuntu 12.04
raj: told you earlier
david_: /join #ubuntu-es
_cronus_ tried already, doesn't recognize the file type
jrib solo escribo eso?
aqui mismo?
david_: si
:D
ok
ThinkT510, yes you did, i was trying to avoid doing so since I have a lot of software development going on in here
jrib, will it mess with my openbox setup and whatnot?
raj: didn't you plan before-hand to upgrade ubuntu before support ran out?
raj: it shouldn't
ok, cool
n1, maybe the plugin is not compatible with the version of thunderbird you have installed. i have no knowledge about the specific plugin you mentioned unfortunately.
how can I update this then?
raj: as always though, you should have backups "just in case"
is Pidgin still the de facto standard web chat client on linux? Anything better these days?
thanx
_cronus_ do you suggest downgrade the thunderbird?
i hate my internet connection sometimes...
I made an amd64 usb stick and booted it
I got grub, but when I choose an option I just get stuck at a blank screen
n1, no, i wasn't implying anything about downgrading your software.
Why does compiz use so much processing power and RAM? Do I need to configure my graphics drivers or something?
Everything seems slow to move on screen
i have an actual question i have been thinking about, lets say you have a server running an older version of ubuntu, is it consider good practise to distro-upgrade? or would it be better to have a clean slate?
phillllijw: you might need to use propietry graphics drivers
otherwise use metacity
what's metacity
another window manager
press alt+f2 then run metacity --replace
you get less good effects, but its very fast
aetcore: it really depends on your individual situation, but yes, it's good practice to keep an up-to-date OS installed
aetcore: wait - you mean upgrade vs. fresh install?
Hmm... Should I check dmesg to see what graphics card I have?
aetcore: fresh installs are usually best
yeats: yah, your last statement was what im meaning
phillllijw: lspci | grep VGA
i just installed ubuntu 12.04 en my laptot, but the pc hungs on start
philllijw: run this from console sudo lshw -C display
aetcore: again, it depends on what you're doing.  sometimes upgrades do fine, but if you've done a lot of customizing for the programs you're running breakage is very possible
handuel: is lshw available by default ?
yes
codemaniac: I think so, people ask for output from it on launchpad answers all the time (including me)
yeats: ok thanks, that kinda what i thought, some guys at work just upgraded 12 servers, and we have seen some pretty bizarre issues come from it, but most of the servers arent heavily customised, its support my argument for chef, or puppet
how can i remove the print icon on the unity-panel-2e on ubuntu 12.04? http://img21.imageshack.us/img21/2919/unitypanel2d.png
What is the appropriate protocol for a web server
Jisawesome_: http and https obviously
Jisawesome_: http
lol
I am opening a port and it is asking for a protocol: tcp or udp
on port 80
sl3ax: check your startup applications
Jisawesome_: tcp
tcp 80
handuel, RV610 (Radeon HD 2400 PRO)... driver=radeon -- does this mean anything to ya?
What should I put for the timeout
handuel: in /etc/rcX.d?
phillllijw: and the problem is?
philllijw: yes, you already have the propietry driver installed I think
handuel: no he does not
wols, desktop just seems slow
Jisawesome_: buyer beware, in port forwarding connections to your public ip, you are essentially opening up a pathway to your internet network, please use with caution
wols: driver=raedon are those the open source
seems like compiz is using up a lot of resources
internal connection
handuel: radeon is the open source driver
dammit my typing is terrible this morning
ThinkT510: OK sorry
phillllijw: you can try this: http://askubuntu.com/questions/203232/radeon-hd-2000-3000-4000-on-12-10-quantal-fglrx-legacy-12-6-unsupported-wh
if I were to choose an application type for a web server, what would it be?
is frglx the drivers for raedon
ftp?
handuel: no. radeon is the driver for radeon
Jisawesome_: web server?
Jisawesome_: http
Jisawesome_: no not ftp
wols: I mean the propietry
handuel: that's fglrx
ok
wols: good
I think this slowness occurred after running "X -configure"
Hi, I successfully booted Ubuntu CD on my HP Pavilion. I get all the way to install alongside windows. However after that it tells me to remove all installation media and press enter. However then after I hit enter it reboots into windows...what's wrong?
phillllijw: then rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf and restart X
phillllijw: why would you even run X -configure?
phillllijw, can you post cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf to ubunts paste
wols, I need the file there for my mouse buttons
aquethys, Open gparted take a screenshot and imagebin it.
what's gparted
lol this channel is awesome lol :D
phillllijw: that doesn't explain it. you can write your mouse config there without doing X -configure to create a full blown config
aquethys, You got ubuntu ninstalled?
no
installed*
aquethys: a partitioning utility
I can only
boot from
wols, well I can just delete the display sections then?
handuel, yeah in a sec
phillllijw: yes. you can delete everything but your mouse config
aquethys, gparted is the partitioning app in the live cd.
wols, that may be the solution then
I'm trying to install ubuntuon a neighbour's desktop machine. windows is v. slow on it.  it has 3 boot options: hdd, fdd, cd.  whatcan I do? the .iso for 12.10 is bigger than a CD
cd. I run the installation but then after I select install alongside Windows and hit enter then it takes me to a screen that says remove all media and press enter
dooglus: install 12.04
now that I have opened port 80, what do I do
did Newnew ever make it back?
aquethys, This W7?
I have the same computer as this guy here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2073713
Yes I'm on W7
aetcore: very doubtful
wols: :(
wols: is that the last release of ubuntu that will support old computers?  do you have an alt distro you know of that still loads on old machines please?
wols, if I want to add dual monito setup at some point, will I want to keep those sections?
dooglus: no. but it's a LTS which is (imho) a good idea for newbies to ubuntu
phillllijw: should work without just fine
damn internet connection
aquethys, The best way is to have windows resize itself with the its disk manager leaving a unallocated space for ubuntu, but it would be nice to see if you have room for how many additional patitions there is a limit on a single HD.
just spent an hour downloading 12.10- for them.   grrrr
dooglus: and as a bonus it should fit on a CD :)  also: if you install 12.04 you can immediately upgrade to 12.10 if you wish, but I wouldn't
i made an amd64 usb stick and booted it up
So i'll screenshot disk manager..
got into grub, but when i pick an option i just get a blank screen
wols, since we're already on this topic... how does the "new" xorg configuration work then? Does it just figure out what you need?
aquethys, Seeing gparted will tell us the partition amount before you do anything.
hi
wols thanks for your help.  what do you wuggest for burning .iso to CD?
phillllijw: yes. and only if it gets it wrong or you want a special driver like fglrx, you need to configure it manually
So how if I boot the CD and hit Try ubuntu I can screenshot gparted? how?
is it something in terminal?
dooglus: on which OS? if windows: imgburn
wols, I think it was automatically selecting fglrx before
wols: your on fire
wols ubuntu 12.10
Would it work if I screenshot Disk Utility too in W7 or not?
Thanks for your help so far :)
aquethys: ubuntu live cd boots to a gui. but there also is parted which works in console. not sure if it's on the ubuntu cd tho
dooglus: for old computers i reccomend lubuntu
dooglus: basically the same, just different interface and faster
dooglus: then whatever ubuntu uses for burning CDs. no clue myself
handuel: is there a CD-sized .iso for 12.10 or it?
is ther e a reason that would be failing to boot?
dooglus: do you know what hardware your neighbour has? lubuntu or xubuntu might be a very good idea
Matikos: you might be missing grub
Hi, I have an issue and in the past 2 weeks I tried to fix it with no success, so it looks like I need some help
aetcore: I'm booting from usb, and
aetcore: there is no grub on usb sticks usually
and I get a grub menu
I created a web server with ubuntu server, but I can only acces it from my networki
Does this help at all? http://i.imgur.com/7X4TZ.png
oh i see
dooglus: I think lubuntu will fit on a cd yes
Matikos: how did you create this USB stick?
I have dell inspiron N5110, and I can't manage to install nvidia drivers to make HDMI work
Jisawesome: have you gone on your wifi configuration page and port forwaded
i downloaded the amd64 image of 12.10 and used lili to make the stuck
Jisawesome_: you have a router. you need to portforward port 80 in your router
yes
I did that
hmm.  xubuntu does too.  thanks - that's a good idea
Jisawesome_: your ISP might block ports. try to use port 8888
wols: i downloaded the amd64 image of 12.10 and used lili to make the stuick
also I have ubuntu 12.10 installed, and the nvidia card is GT 525
Is there any way to get Ubuntu's default g++ to show line numbers for errors? As of now I just get "file.cpp:(.text+0x653): error" instead of "file.cpp: (line  5): error".
The I am using is the 192.168 one
brb I'll screenshot gparted
SHoudl I be using a different one
Archio: I think that's a linker error, not a compilation error
handuel: would you recommend lubuntu 12.04 or 12.10 for newbies?
Hi all. Problem w/ upgrade from 12.04 to 12.10. Separate home partition. New install has a /home directory that is apparently not the correct disk partition /dev/sdx. Cannot login or access files. Help? Suggestions? Many thanks in advance.
dooglus: yes, it's easier to use than ubuntu IMHO
Jisawesome_: your port forward will be something like * 80 (or 8888) -> 192.168.x.xxx
handuel: I mean which of those 2?
@handuel So those errors would show up like that on any platform?
I already port forwarded
dooglus: both
dooglus: depends on if you want 5 years or 18 months support
whatver the server ip is
But is that the right IP? It looks like one for only local
brown12: you boot the recovery system and fix it in there since you are/can be root there automatically without login
Archio, paste your cpp file to ubuntu paste and I'll attempt compilation
yes you will use your local one
the server local one
@wols thanks
handuel: hmm.  I'm not seeing any peers for lubuntu-12.04-desktop-i386.iso
Jisawesome_: do it for port 8888 instead
Why
Aetcore, the one that shows up in ifconfig?
dooglus: you might have to not torrent it
cause many ISPs block port 80
Is it FSTAB that needs to be fixed to set /home to the old partition?
brown12: yes
Jisawesome_: yes, but use a different port as wols has suggested
Any simple FAQs for how to configure? -Thanks again @wols
handuel: I don't really have a choice.  internet here is really crappy - drops out a lot
dooglus: ah ok
Hi all ! Nvidia drivers for GeForce 525GT video card for ubuntu 12.10. Notebook: Dell Inspiron N5110. I just want to make HDMI work so I can use the external monitor, please help. Tried everything I found on google in the past weeek with no success
Why was my certificate valid after 2 weeks instead of instant when i made it, I've chcked the date and time on the machine i made them and it only differed  1 or 2 hours?
I havent actually tried it since I port forwarded, I just assumed you needed to do something else
anyone know why fira can't connect, they keep trying
maybe some kind soul/s could seed http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/lubuntu/releases/12.04/release/lubuntu-12.04-desktop-i386.iso.torrent for me?
dooglus: how do you seed a torrent, I have fast internet
brown12: I don't know a simple one. /dev/sdaX     /home    ext3     0      2        these are not spaces in between but tabs btw
wols: any ideas? I can't get past grub to try and install an efi compatible 12.10
Jisawesome_: after the portforward is in place you should be able to connect to your server
handuel: run transmission, open http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/lubuntu/releases/12.04/release/lubuntu-12.04-desktop-i386.iso.torrent, wait
dooglus okede
Hi all ! I need WORKING ! nvidia drivers for GeForce 525GT video card for ubuntu 12.10. Notebook: Dell Inspiron N5110. I just want to make HDMI work so I can use the external monitor, please help. Tried everything I found on google in the past weeek with no success, please PM
codemaniac, dienshunds helped me and it works now, thank you for your time, bye
Matikos: use yumi
wols: yumi?
And then what about the login process? Will the users be configured or do I have to mess with /etc/passwd, /etc/shadow, /etc/group
handuel: if you already have a copy of the .iso file, put it in your Downloads/ folder before doing that - then transmission won't need to download a copy first
handuel: i couldn't remove it
it wil check your copy is correct, then share it with me and others
brown12: no messing. try to press ctrl+alt+f1 on your ubuntu and log in there first. might actually work
dooglus: I don't have the iso sorry, but I've started the download
ok, thx
Sadly no the tty1 did ont work. The hostname is wrong and the usernames are wrong.
handuel: hopefully my transmission will connect to yours and grab bits of the iso as youdownload it.
wols: I see it.  I'll give it a try.  last time I made a stick i used lili
dooglus: it's started, 9 of 24 peers, not sure why your not getting any
In my supreme wisdom I managed to wreck the password for the new user I created and cannot login.
Thanks @wols I will give it a whirl. Have to boot over to try.
handuel: I'm getting peers now - but no fast ones.
dooglus: :(, mines on 3 minutes remaining
handuel: the too-big ubuntu iso came at 800kb/s - this lubuntu is about 25k/s - it's going to take 8 hours
handuel: that's nice :)
dooglus: it will get faster over time usually
when i see a window in nautilus, how do i get the path for that window?
handuel: mine justjumped from 8 hours remaining to 24 minutes.  I think maybe I found you...
@willee-nilee
http://i.imgur.com/0aPzK.png
aquethys, yes
bonhoeffer: press ctrl+l then copy and paste the adress
got the screenshot :)
dooglus: :(
I'm booted in Ubuntu now 12.10
dooglus: wrong smile :D I meant :)
we dont allow smiling in here - this is serious!!
handuel: the speed is all coming from one peer - and it has a different IP that you're IRCing from
dooglus: maybe you've not found me
handuel: I guess not
aquethys, So as of now you have the maximum allowed of primary partitions, you can add no more, you will have to loose one to install ubuntu, Do you have a external HD to make a backup image to?
nope
dooglus: I've got 46 seconds remaining :D
But I can delete a partition if needed
Really no important files on my Windows
Just want to keep Windows
shame there's no "connect to specific peer" menu entry in transmission
for when I know your IP address, and want to clue it in that you'refast
dooglus, I've done, I'm now seeding it
aquethys, That makes things harder, you have a boot partition, C a recovery and the HP tools, all important in their own use, basically.
handuel: you are sharing the file as soon as you start downloading it - well, as soon as you have one full block of it
aquethys, Do you have a backup at all?
nope
handuel: 'seeding' just means you're no longer downloading - you were sharing all along
I use my External HD
for my macbook
dooglus: I know, I was just telling you that I left the window open, and was leaving it seeding
aquethys: that's not what he asked. do you have backups of all important files?
can anyone tell me how can i remove the print icon on the unity-panel-2e on ubuntu 12.04? http://img21.imageshack.us/img21/2919/unitypanel2d.png
handuel: thanks for doing that
nope I don't
Don't have any big external HD drives to back them up either
only like Google Drive, Dropbox
wols handuel -- thanks guys. Seems like removing those sections from xorg.conf was all I needed to do
dooglus: i'm seeding to 0 peers though :(
phillllijw, it's only wols you've got to think, I only gave confusing info along the way
how do I install a newer version of a program?  For example, I am running 12.10, but would like to install a version of a program from the raring ringtail release: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/git-annex
or I guess its the proposed version
aquethys, Personally I have to get to some other work, and wont really ave the time to walk you through all of this, so maybe another will. YOU might just want to install a wubi while you brush up on what you want to do to have a dual boot. The wubi can be transferred to a partiton once you know what to do.
dooglus: try right clicking the file and selecting ask tracker for more peers
oh okay
so just install wubi
w/ windows?
On to another problem...
Hi, I'm having an issue with fan speed on 12.10 with all the latest updates. The fan speed changes according to temperature or load or whatever like it normally would for a while but then it seems randomly it gets stuck at 100% and my computer is awfully load. Restarting fixes it for a while and then it happens again.
*load = loud
Each time I login to unity, I receive a message saying something crashed. It asks me to send an error report but when I try, it says I gave the incorrect root password after 3 tries. "Failed to run /usr/share/apport/apport-gtk as user root- Wrong Password"
philllijw: thats usually old log files try running sudo rm -R /var/crash
aquethys, That is just an idea, the problem here is HP filled the HD with the max amount of partitions, sothis is an easy fix for one that knows how to deal with this, but for a beginner it can be confusing.
dooglus: how long you got left
I have some temperature monitoring software installed but nothing (CPU cores/GPU) is above 34C and the fans (or fan?) are/is still running fast
handuel: 10m
dooglus: ah good
handuel, ah yes. Looks like it's because I had to do a hard reset a few times
phillijw: the important part is what crashed?
silly desktop claims not to be able to boot from USB stick.  is that plausible?
Groupers: which cpu?
dooglus: only if it's very old, but then yes
wols: it's a P4 CPU
wols, when my machine suspends, it doesn't resume. The error log even says that. Looking through it now
dooglus, Have you tried the post bios boot menu, and is the computer to old to boot a usb?
dooglus: possible, especially for a OEM PC
wilee-nilee: I did.  it had weird options: primary disk, C: drive, CDROM, floppy
wilee-nilee: I'd have thought C: drive and primary disk were the same, but idk
yoh =)
sa marche comment ce truc x)
dooglus, all you have to do is check the web with your computer model and usb boot, but it sounds like it may be to old.
dooglus: C drive is actually a partion, primary disk is the entire disk
handuel: not sure if BIOS programmers know the difference :P
Failed to connect to wpa_supplicant - wpa_ctrl_open: No such file or directory ..... Having NetWork Manager wake interfaces back up...Failed

is there any reason to use oracle's JRE rather than openjdk nowadays?
I also see "stop: Unknown instance:" for the Running hook /usr/lib/pm-utils/sleep.d/95anacron suspend suspend:
An_Ony_Moose, java7?
An_Ony_Moose: some programs are only working with the oracle version
phillijw: dpkg -l |grep anacron
wilee-nilee: java in general.
iceroot: any examples?
An_Ony_Moose: online banking from a german bank for example
wols, 2.3-19ubuntu1
wilee-nilee: I take it java6 is fully implemented but 7 isn't?
I notice more *ubuntu types had a 12.04.01 release, but not lubuntu.
most*
An_Ony_Moose: sap is another example
An_Ony_Moose, Java7 you have to get from oracle it is easy.
wilee-nilee: oh ok, thanks
An_Ony_Moose, webupd8 has a page on it if you googlr ubuntu java7
phillijw: just checking if it's actually installed
wols, appears to be
ok, thanks very much wilee-nilee and iceroot
phillijw: "ii" in front?
wols, yes. What does ii mean?
An_Ony_Moose: but i would suggest to use openjdk instead if everything is working fine
An_Ony_Moose: the afected apps which are not working are not that much and its ALWAYS better to use free software
Hi... any way to get rid of unity and go back to the old gnome 3.2.x interface?
Mitchell92: sudo apt-get install gnome-panel
then at login select gnome classic
phillijw: dpkg -l libc6   gives you a legend on the first few lines. "installed installed" basically
iceroot, That is a personal opinion please use that option.
okay... handuel, that will get me back into the "old" ubuntu look?
ah
Mitchell92: It isn't identical however it's as close as you can easily get
or you could install mate
it's made by linux mint and is identical
then why not just run mint?
iceroot: thanks
iceroot: all I really needed to know was whether there is any good reason to use the proprietary one
Mitchell92: I don't know, you're the one who wants the old look on ubuntu not me :P
okay, handuel.
i just dislike unity.
An_Ony_Moose, You want to be able to separate peoples bias's on this stuff just a heads up.
Mitchell92: same. So I go with xfce
Mitchell92: I do as well, I use cinnamon (also from linux mint)
actually the only reason I stick with ubuntu is because of the community
i think i'm going to just go with opensuse.
cpu 10% temp 45C and fan going crazy since 12.10 :/, ehhh Ubuntu
handuel: download finished.  thanks very much!
dooglus good :), have fun
kmicu: laptop/desktop?
An_Ony_Moose: the Free implementation is available easily in default repos. install what you need, test stuff, and keep it if it works. overall, it is likely to cause fewer headaches as upgrades and fixes happen.
bkc_ laptop with ATI X1600 mobile Asustek Z96jm
Mitchell92, THe opensuse channel has about 250 users so you will have some support there, it is #suse
i'm aware
i'm there.
cool
Mitchell92: the GNOME2 look you're asking for is as dead on SUSE as it is Ubuntu or Debian or anything else.
Mitchell92: XFCE comes close, as others have said.
Mitchell92: if your switching distro I'd use mint
kmicu: basically there are 100 different ways of controlling the fan, but I'm start with this one: http://ubuntunewb.blogspot.se/2011/04/how-to-control-fan-speed-on-ubuntu.html
handuel: personal preferences for other distros is better suited for #ubuntu-offtopic
bkc_ i read them all
mneptok: mint gives you gnome 2 though :P
kmicu: then what's the problem? :3
handuel: no, it gives you Cinnamon. which is not GNOME2.
mneptok: or mate, which is gnome 2
handuel: anyhow, it's immaterial.
ok
mneptok: it is not as mate is gnome 2 (or a fork), and is only offered by mint
hey guys, how do i enable unity-2d; i installed the package and there's suppsoed to be a dropdown on the login screen but there isnt one
handuel: and still a topic better suited for other channels. this is Ubuntu support.

bkfitz: why such an old release?
mneptok: and i am supporting someone who asked "how do I get the old gnome 2 look back", and then said "ah maybe ill switch to opensuse(which won't give him gnome 2)
hello. every apt-get command returns this to me : http://paste.ubuntu-fr-secours.org/src-109822
handuel: drop it.
mneptok: ok
mneptok: good question... didn't want unity and it's for my father in law so I just figured less confusing
handuel: thankee
mneptok: do you think if I did 12.04 it would work better?
i tried to download the incriminated package and to install it, but i can only get this: http://paste.ubuntu-fr-secours.org/src-109824
wilee-nilee, 12.10
mneptok: that's what I run on my laptop, this is just for the luggite in-laws
jedimind, 2d has been dicontinued, you might look on the web to see if you can just add it like you have.
bkfitz: personally i'd stick with an LTS. so yes, 12.04. and try live sessions of Kubuntu and Xubuntu and see which Dad prefers.
discontinued *
mneptok: but why wouldn't the wifi drivers work?
mneptok: would prefer to fix this one than download 12.04 over 3g
bkfitz: older kernels don't have newer FLOSS drivers baked in.
mneptok: didn't bring the 12.04 iso with me
wilee-nilee, hrmm well that sucks :\ i added the package manualy as i understand it no longer is available by default, but its not showing up as an option in login screen
mneptok: ugh
mneptok: can i put the newer driver debs on a thumbdrive and install that way?
jedimind, here is some info, supposedly unity should run fine. http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2012/08/unity-2d-removed-from-ubuntu-12-10
bkfitz: if RealTek released that chip and its driver in 2011, how does a 2009-2010 kernel support it?
bkc_ I will try to rescan sensors one more time, but this settings shouldn't be overwritten during upgrade from 12.04, in 12.04 fan works properly.
jedimind, What is it you are trying to gain or loose?
bkfitz: you could try building the realtek drivers from source, it's quite an easy task
mneptok: it's a 5 year old acer laptop
im on an exceptionally slow netbook (first gen atom based acer aspire one); and running 1080p res and its so unbearably slow due to lack of hardware acceleration
bkfitz: 10.04 uses 2.6 series. 12.04 the 3 series.
that im just trying to get into 2d mode without all the 3d stuff
wilee-nilee, ^
handuel: shouldn't need them no?
bkfitz: look in restricted drivers
bkfitz: could be it requires Broadcom or other formware blobs.
*firmware
mneptok: where?
bkfitz: you have to something to do with setting WPA_SUPPLICANT to true to let it be managed by network manager
jedimind, There are a number of other desktops to try, but it sounds like you may be aware of this already.
where's the list of kernels at?
the repo of kernels
bkfitz: what chipset is it?
bkfitz: in the menu system is "Restricted Drivers" or somesuch
bkfitz: "Additional Drivers" maybe?
wilee-nilee, i suppose im a little out of the loop in respect to options for ubuntu, i havent run a version since 7.04 or so
Why is there no v3.7-rc3-quantal build here: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/
i remember if i had a window open that I could hit some hotkey to see/copy the path
bonheffer: ctrl+L
anyone tried ubuntu on nexus 7 ?
handuel, thanks!
jedimind, Ahh, you might look at xubuntu or lubuntu
cortexA9, YOu mean the chmod or the full install>
wilee-nilee, i suppose i can modify compiz to disable certain things
wilee-nilee the full install.
hello people. vlc is sizzle for a short minute after play video. but it gets annoying everytime i pause/play video
jedimind, Yes that is an option, be sure to install the fusion icon and have a launcher for it on the desktop, it is a compiz restart, you will want it.
any idea
alienaut: how do you mean annoying
because i want to put ubuntu and then kubuntu.
it's possible ?
wilee-nilee, thanks for the tip
cortexA9, I have not seen anyone on the channel yet using it but I have a nexus 7 and would not bother personally, not enough ram to begin with.
Handuel, everytime sound teribly distorted. like a alien.
cortexA9, At least ram for a fast setup
bkc_ /usr/sbin/pwmconfig: There are no pwm-capable sensor modules installed ;]
I have to go sorry
wilee-nilee, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Nexus7/Installation
handuel, i frequently pause and play cause i watch screencast :/
cortexA9, The wiki tells you how and if you are familiar with rooting it and running different roms go for it.
ok wilee-nilee i try thanks.
cortexA9, let us know how it runs!
i have fear :D
to brick lol
because now it's rooted.
:)
cortexA9, I use the google nexus 7 toolkit in windows for rooting it is quite nice.
yes me too
guys, I'm having more trouble.  I got a CD burned of lubuntu 12.04, booted it, but now can't get sshd running on the live instance.  was going to use it to backup the windows partition before installing lubuntu
I installed package 'openssh-server', which is usually all I need to do, but it tellsme 'start: unknown job: ssh' when I run 'sudo start ssh'
cortexA9, Just have a backup of the stock rom sitting around and your favourite roms, you can brick it but easily fixable.
dooglus: sudo service ssh start
dooglus: ssh is the client, not the serevr
the service is named ssh, too. The binary is named sshd.
wols, i7-860 with P55, the board is a Gigabyte P55A-UD3. I have a stock PWM CPU fan and a PWM case fan plugged in. The only other fans are PSU and GPU
bekks: same error
dooglus: The error cant be exactly the same.
Groupers: run mprime, or cpuburn and measure again. it will go up
bekks: wanna bet?
dooglus: we do
#git
dooglus: pastebin the full command you wrote and its output in a pastebin
dooglus: I know I will win. That would be a good deal, but quite unfair against you.
bekks: name your stake
wols, the issue is that one of the fans gets stuck running really fast even though the temperature/load are low
dooglus: Upload your pastebin.
bekks: then you won't want to bet any more :)
wols, the issue goes away after a reboot but then after a while it gets stuck running fast again
bekks: it's going to take a while to load up chromium on this old pc from a live cd
dooglus: For offtopic, please change to #ubuntu-offtopic ;)
pussy :)
any got qemu installed on ubuntu ?
Groupers: e.g. https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Fan_Speed_Control
dooglus: no need.
dooglus: Come on. You are the one who needs support, it's not me. So watch your language please.
dooglus: Please mind your language
http://pastebin.ca/2248000
IdleOne: sure.
Hi guys, what do you use for virus scanning a windows machine via a live linux image? I've seen trinitylinux.org, but that's what I've found so far. (my dad messed up his pc)
he's asking how to use linux to virus scan a windows partition
Not necessarily true.
wols, this is probably most retarded and unhelpful thing i seen people do on irc
cmol, That ubottu message will give you a list of possibilities.
quick question: Online Accounts has the option to add a Microsoft Exchange account, and use it for "mail, contacts, and calendar," but where do the mail, contacts, and calendar actually show up?
You can allways, say, be a target of a specific attack.
It's true that most malware is written for Windows because it's most popular OS worldwide
That doesn't eliminate possible dangers, though
Better safe than sorry I'd say.
unsobill: good, then you obviously don't want help. have a nice life
cmol, THere are at least 5 or so live cd from major AV providers as well.
I virus scan my linux too, but that's another matter
wilee-nilee, as opensource / free ?
I've got ClamAV installed and I make use of it sometimes
wols, if you consider your respond as "help" then  you just obviously wasting too much time here
cmol, Yes most are running on top of a open source setup. With windows though you are better to recover the important stuff and just do a fresh install.
unsobill: if you consider your "question" sensible, then you need to ask ubottu about !gq
In my script I change user with 'su' but than I get stuck being asked for password withouth being able to type the password :) how to fix this?
wilee-nilee, yeah, but im hoping to jump the fence at its lowest....
net
Terminal doesn't show root password output as a security mesaure, have you tried pressing enter?
123
Kishi: There is no root password in Ubuntu.
cmol, http://www.techmixer.com/free-bootable-antivirus-rescue-cds-download-list/
bekks: User can allways set it via "passwd root" command
cmol, There is also combofix
wilee-nilee, thanks! You're a savior
Kishi: Doing so will most likely result in getting no support in here anymore.
in the installer, I'm installing ubuntu alongside windows.  it's asking me to drag a divider to say how much space each should get - but it didn't label the two sides.  is linux the left or right side?
bekks: Ofcan started a question about su, not me.
yup :)
Kishi: kk :)
quick question: Online Accounts has the option to add a Microsoft Exchange account, and use it for "mail, contacts, and calendar," but where do the mail, contacts, and calendar actually show up?
Kishi: but you violated the !noroot factoid
dooglus, If you want top have exactly the partition size you want you should resize the windows with its disk manager, much safer as well, then install ubuntu in the unallocated space.
...I've violated what?
Kishi: irc channels do have rules after all
hi
Oh, I didn't realise.
there should be a patch for /usr/bin/passwd that checks for attempts to set a root password, and if someone has set one it will overwrite any attached drives with /dev/zero
wilee-nilee: the windows is all fscked up - I think it's safer to use linux to resize it
how do I make mono attach to the .net 4 library  when I execute a .net file.
Kishi: root passwords need to die
currently it seems to look up .net version 2... which causes problems
missing libs ertc.
Kishi: they've been obsolete for a good twenty years or so
gordonjcp: Just triggering the secure erase of a disk drive would be enough :)
dooglus, I see people on here everyday that have resized wrong and then need to resize with goparted and have to have their hands held the whole way.
bekks: that'd work
bekks: /dev/zero is secure enough for pretty near anything
bekks: you write /dev/zero over the whole disk and nothing's ever coming back :-)
While using sudo is a good way to protect beginner users from doing something stupid like removing everything in root directory, I see nothing wrong with enabling su as an user with some Linux experience allready...
wilee-nilee: not surprising - the installer doesn't label the partitions!  I get to drag a divider between two unlabelled white spaces - one's ubuntu, one's windows, but I don't know which is which!
Kishi: wrong
Kishi: you should *never* have a valid root password
dooglus, Could it more confusing, lol.
Why so?
Kishi: because it's fundamentally insecure
Kishi: anybody with the root password can do anything
there's no logging, there's no division of authority
and also cause then an attacker actually knows which account to attack
dooglus, My guess is windows on the left and ubuntu on the right, but that is a guess.
gordonjcp: So can a person with an administrator password, because what sudo does is executing a single command as root
Kishi: no, it doesn't
Kishi: it just happens to be configured that way in the trivial case
the resizer said "nothing to do - ntfs volume size is already ok".  wierd, but ok...
Kishi: you can lock down what people can do with sudo to a very fine degree, and sort out all sorts of logging
Root passwords are mainly for getting into a server over a (virtual) serial console when all else has gone wrong :-)
gordonjcp: I've never tried it, but I believe Linux will be as happy to rm -rf the root directory with sudo prefix as it would be with su
Kishi: did you read *anything* I said?
Kishi: Which has nothing to do with the insecurity of a root password.
Kishi: clearly not
Kishi: I can set you up an account on this machine, give you sudo access and let you bang away with sudo rm -rf * anywhere you like
gordonjcp: Perhaps. I'm not too experienced and armed with arguments to wage nerd wars yet ;/
Kishi: I guarantee you'll only be able to take out your homedir
hah
has anyone here ever worked for NextGen Healthcare Solutions?
although admittedly, first I'll have to remember how to do that
runderw, This is ubuntu support and that is it.
ya
gordonjcp: Your statement is a bit misleading though, since whilst it's true, that's not the way the vast majority of people configure sudo
so I the next gen people run their servers on top of ubuntu
Hi, my nautilus wont connect to remote servers since 12.10, it only tells me "Cannot get list of Servermethods, check your gvfs installation." I have reinstalled (purged) gvfs-backend and nautilus and it wont work. Can anyone help me with this?
maxb: well, what I did say earlier is in the trivial case it's set up to function a bit like su but without disclosing (or requiring) a root password
I need to stream a file using netcat at 2048000 bytes/s. I tried it directly in netcat, but speed doesn't fit. "pv -L 2048000 | nc6" works, but the datarate isn't exactly 2048000 ... what am I doing wrong?
runderw, Good for them this is show your problem in the form of a question, not who the company is.
xreal: well for a start it sounds like you're going about some problem the wrong way
so I can only ask specific questions about ubuntu here ?
Yes. :)
runderw, That is it yes.
xreal: What exactly are you trying to do?
runderw, there is #ubuntu-offtopic but there are limitations there as well.
How do I find the default init level on ubuntu? I'm used to looking in /etc/inittab, but that doesn't exist anymore...
b636bc7ca: why are you looking for it?
b636bc7ca: (ubuntu uses upstart as its init system)
jrib: Because I want to disable vsftpd in the default runlevel.
gordonjcp: I want to stream I/Q data recorded by rtl_sdr to a sdr-demodulator.
Anyway, I didn't really come here to argue if sudo is better than su
gordonjcp: pv -W -L 2048000 myfile.bin | nc6 -v -l -p 1234
xreal: oh, okay
@wilee-nilee do you have any suggestions of where I would find a channel more specific to monitoring custom apache setups
runderw: the apache channel ?
I know it uses upstart, and I'm in /etc/init/vsftpd.conf, but I don't know which run level to remove from the "start" block
I allready have other problems, like, having switched to a 800x600 resolution one day and not being able to revert
xreal: streaming audio is somewhat more difficult than that since you need to keep the timing exactly right
b636bc7ca: There are no run levels anymore with Upstart.
b636bc7ca: The bot just told you that Upstart replaces the Old SysV Init.
bekks: Replacing sysvinit is the same as "getting rid of runlevels entirely"?
runderw,  #httpd
xreal: why not just copy the raw IQ data across to the machine with the SDR software on it?
b636bc7ca: Correct.
b636bc7ca: do you want to know the proper way to disable vsftp?  See the section on manual overrrides in http://upstart.ubuntu.com/cookbook/
thanks I will check it out..
good lord
Hi guys, how can i clean "search replace" cache from gedit on ubuntu 11.10 ?
gordonjcp: it's not audio (as you say, it's raw I/Q data). the problem: the SDR software can read WAV files only. WAV is limited to 4 GB, the file would be about 12 GB.
xreal: it *is* audio...
it's slightly funny sounding but it's still audio
gordonjcp: ok, you're right. It's sines.
Sine waves
I am also kind of  a newb with ubuntu amongst other things !
Then upstart scripts probably should stop containing stuff like this: start on runlevel [2345]
xreal: ever noticed how if you get the centre frequency just right, you can hear intelligible audio without the software?
runderw, THat channel looked to be the closest on freenode that I could see with a channel search.
xreal: right there's probably a way to use sox to convert that binary file to a wav
That's incredibly misleading if there are no runlevels at all anymore
xreal: it's probably interleaved 8-bit linear
that doesn't solve your 12GB problem
b636bc7ca: They arent needed anymore, so they do not exist anymore using Upstart.
gordonjcp: you're righr. sox -e unsigned-integer -t raw -b 8 -c 2 -r 2048000
xreal: can your SDR software accept audio from jack or pulse?
bekks: Odd, then, that the "upstart" documentation and start scripts document them, isn't it?
xreal: you could cut the 12GB file up into chunks
s/document/document and use/
nice .. thank you .. one last question before I leave ..
gordonjcp: I tried chunking it up, but then it "pops" in the middle of the recording.
b636bc7ca: Then please show us were upstart documents that.
upstart has backwards compatiabilty features
bekks: Certainly: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/cookbook/#runlevels
gordonjcp: I'm recording in Linux and streaming it through 1000mbit network to Windows. The sdr software is running on Windows only.
b636bc7ca: upstart still handles the old sysv init scripts so there are still runlevel events.  As I understand it though, these are an outdated model; I could be wrong
xreal: oh, I don't know anything about Windows
xreal: I haven't seen any decent SDR software for Windows
what are you using?
gordonjcp: no problem. sdr# is *great*. I'd love to use gnuradio in a VM soon.
jrib:  thats how i gather the info also. many services are stil using the old system and upstart handles them so well most people dont notice or upgrade their stuff to use upstart defined services
* giuseppe_ buona sera
xreal: oh, sdr#?
jrib: *shrug* At least that documentation answered the real question: the variable DEFAULT_RUNLEVEL in file /etc/init/rc-sysinit.conf
gordonjcp: my current post-processing is based on AF created by sdr# and it works *very* fine
gordonjcp: Is it possible to hard restrict netcat to 2048000 bytes ?
xreal: I believe the author is working on rtlsdr integration for that
xreal: he used to hang about in ##hamradio, don't know if he still does
gordonjcp: it supports rtlsdr and rtltcp, but not raw i/q data. I know him (prog) from ##rtlsdr
yup
why not just use rtltcp then
jrib: It may be "outdated", and perhaps it will stop working at some point in the future, but I still use runlevels quite heavily on my systems; I just couldn't remember what replaced inittab, and my google-fu was failing to come up with the upstart.ubuntu.com URL
I can connect to the ubuntu server, I have navigated around and I have tried using the /proc and I tried reading man /proc .. but I don't feel like this is efficient way of trying to troubleshoot what executable is hanging the box
b636bc7ca: k, glad you sorted it out
gordonjcp: because I've already recorded the file and want to demodulate them :)
xreal: ooooooh
gordonjcp: cat | netcat => ... => sdr# => af
How do you check your machine out from ssh
runderw: why do you think there is an executable hanging ?
xreal: yeah, my first thought would be to cut it up with dd or something and convert to wav with sox
xreal: or ask prog to fix it to read IQ files
xreal: or fix it yourself for that matter
gordonjcp: I tried that, but I've recorded music and vocals, which get "popped" at the cut
gordonjcp: yeah, I need to convince him. He's not easy :)
xreal: I bet I could write a patch for lysdr to do it
when we try to navigate to the url the ubuntu box is hosting the host doesn't respond
gordonjcp: what's lysdr ?
gordonjcp: Is it possible to hard restrict netcat to 2048000 bytes ?
we can ping the box
xreal: not as far as I can see
But if Ubuntu is really getting rid of runlevels, it'd sure be nice if someone would document what I'm supposed to use instead; runlevels are one of the best things about a Unix system. :|
runderw: why do you think there is an executable hanging ?
but no go on the http requests
runderw: http is nothing to do with ping
so that is an invalid test
xreal: head may be able to do bytes (total guess)
xreal: http://gordonjcp.github.com/lysdr/
http://upstart.ubuntu.com/cookbook
i belive
xreal: http://www.gjcp.net/~gordonjcp/lysdr.jpg
gordonjcp: nice
obviously .. I know .. there could be many things that prevent the http page from getting served
dr_willis: I can't see anything on there that: 1) Even remotely implies runlevels are going away; 2) Tells me what to use instead of runlevels to start/stop hundreds of services with a single command
runderw: if you "know" why are you quoting it as a test
xreal: internally prog and I use some very similar tricks in our software, but as you can see we have very different attitudes to GUIs
xreal: lysdr is far too complicated, there are too many buttons
runderw: if you know ping is nothing to do with http, why use it as a test or mention in here, why not troubleshoot the issue
Well, I guess I could just maintain my own upstart scripts that chain to other upstart scripts - but that's certainly not very clear in the documentation if that's the expectation.
omg .. because I am a newb to ubuntu
gordonjcp: I'll try it in a VM soon
I guess
hello
runderw: ok, so the question you have is "I don't know why I can't see web pages"
runderw: first question, is apache running ?
ciao
yes ,,,
always Italians, first thing they do is say !list
I would say every 15 attempts or so .. we can get an application not available page
runderw: first question, is apache running ?
I think I've got most of every Italian ISP's netblock set to auto-kline
how have you verified apache is running
(not here, on a server I run)
sorry, runderw how have you verified apache is running
Its a gut feeliing
gordonjcp, That is a a strange correlation for sure.
runderw: ok, a gut feeling is unacceptable in troubleshooting
runderw: please verify apache is running
b636bc7ca: I think maybe I was misremembering.  Instead, it's just that runlevels aren't really special in upstart.  They're just events that get emitted and you can use them to start and stop jobs in your script
Can I have some help please
wilee-nilee: it's *only* Italians
I have some evidence behind my feeling
wilee-nilee: and it's *all* they do
.. but a good question would be
runderw: feelings are unacceptable, please verify it's running
gordonjcp, Yeah always I know. ;)
how do I verify apache is running
from ssh
runderw: how have you been verifying it so far ?
rather from bash
basically the server serves an application error page
ciao
tbruff13, TO get help you need to show the problem in the form of a question, ;)
runderw: ok, you need to look for the httpd process in the proces list
I know that page is from the directory of the server in question
or is it apache2 on ubuntu
runderw: look for httpd or apache2 in the process list
I am having trouble upgrading from kubuntu 12.04 to 12.10 it is hanging on 64 percent while trying to download dropbox. I really don't want my laptop to crash can someone please help me
tbruff13: how did you trigger the update
_
?
ciao
maverik: don't do it again
tbruff13, 3rd parties should be off in a upgrade, are you backedup?
maverik: what the hell is this !list nonsense?
gordonjcp: leave it please.
tbruff13: also if it's just downloading updates you can't cancel and make sure to disable that repo
AndresSM, I went through the muon package manager and it said that an upgrade was available  so I clicked on it and started upgrading
jrib: I'm not sure how that's different from the way I've been using runlevels for the past two decades, but great :)
AndresSM, it is not just updating I am going from kubuntu 12.04 to 12.10
tbruff13: are you wanting to upgrade to 12.10 or is it already happening?
rithms
tbruff13: if it's just downloading you can cancel it's no big deal
thanks
this was the piece I forgot
tbruff13: then go to your software sources and disable all third party repositories
it
even cpu load
b636bc7ca: well if anything, I think it would make it nicer for you.  Now you can create your own runlevels, you can even create your own new event that you emit instead and have your services watch for.   The only issues with runlevels is if ubuntu decides to stop putting these "start on runlevel" stanzas in the init scripts :) Again, I don't know either way if that's something that's planned
tbruff13, I would talk with ActionParsnip if I were you.
I know what it does
I am working with someone now
one second
does ubuntu lighten graphics on mouseover by default?
i have a set of 64x64 px graphics, that light up with a great mouseover effect in nautilus (or whatever the explorer in 11.04)
isn't there some thing called grep or something .. so could I only list http or apache2
correct, grep
oh, 12.04 :)
like ps aux grep "apache" ?
i can't figure out how the effect is happening -- there is no sprite, only a single image
I am really newb I hope i am not to annoying
runderw: you need to pipe
runderw: 'ps aux | grep apache'
runderw: it's not annoying, but I'd suggest stepping back and reading the basics on bash usage
'ello
ActionParsnip, I was told to talk to you
but mouseover looks great -- i'm trying to figure out if the designer designed this
runderw: it will make general advice going forward easier
and I need some help if you can
should i ask about this in another room
tbruff13: :<
So, one day I've booted in Ubuntu to find out that somehow I became trapped in 800x600 resolution
Which sucks a little bit
bonhoeffer what is your question?
And I cannot seem to go into a higher resolution
bonhoeffer: errr of course the design designed it, that's why he's the designer
I've reinstalled NVIDIA drivers two, maybe three times
runderw: it's worth just a few hours delay to get your head around the basics
jrib: well, if they stop supporting it, they stop supporting it - I'm just as screwed either way :) But thanks
All for nothing
ikonia, no, did the designer design a mouseover for http://www.elegantthemes.com/blog/resources/free-social-media-icon-set
AndresSM, is there anyway I can safely end the upgrade and restart it
or is the cool mouseover effect a concidence in ubuntu?
bonhoeffer: that's not really anything to do with ubuntu
Kishi: take a look at /var/log/Xorg.0.log for clues
yes, just hit cancel, if it's only downloading nothing will happen
in html, the mouseover effect doesn't display in chrome
but it does natively in nautilus (or the explorer in 12.04)
b636bc7ca: out of curiousity, what do you use them for?
yeats: As an inexperienced user, I doubt I'll make anything out of it.
i'm wondering how ubuntu is pulling out this cool mouseover effect from a simple 64x64 graphic
the graphic appears to be no sprite
AndresSM, it is not just downloading packages it is installing
ikonia, make sense?
Kishi: you might be able to pastebin the log to see if someone here can assist
it is only download the dropbox kernel while trying to install the package
tbruff13: it's already installing and it's stuck? it downloads first
bonhoeffer: I'm sorry, it doesn't make sense to me what you're asking
jrib: To switch my machine from a server to a desktop
ikonia, you should check this out . . . you download the graphics -- there is a sweet mouseover effect _only_ in ubuntu
from just looking in the directory
AndresSM, it already downloaded the packages, but within the natilius-dropobox package there is a download that it is frozen in watch ill show you
tbruff13: about what?
can't duplicate it anywhere else
jrib: For example, when I'm using it as my daily desktop machine, I don't want sshd and ftpd running; when I need to switch it to a server, I don't want X running.
ActionParsnip, my upgrade from kubuntu 12.04 to 12.10 is frozen
http://paste.ubuntu.com/1330124/
b636bc7ca: I see
bonhoeffer: it's just a mouse over set of images
Here is the Xorg file
bonhoeffer: I don't understand what the issue/question is
tbruff13: have you tried rebooting?
ActionParsnip, it is installing packages for kubuntu 12.10 wont that break my system
jrib: Thanks again for your help.
ikonia, no, it is not -- there is only one image there -- how can it be a "mouseover" set of images?
there is no sprite/css/or javascript at work
tbruff13: i'd give it a while, you may have to kill the process off then run ubottu's aptfix command
* wilee-nilee wonders why people upgrade out of 5 years support on 12.04, must be the street creds
My PC has a PCIe video card (DVI) plus the onboad VGA -- can I use both of these to power 2 monitors?
ActionParsnip, i have given it an hour http://imagebin.org/234492
bonhoeffer: how do you know ubuntu is using this theme pack ? what page are you viewing them on ?
* dr_willis wonders what most people think 'support' actually means... ;)
lol
HELP
adaminsull: please don't do that
lol
adaminsull: if you need help, just ask a question
5 years from now we may all be using Ubuntu Phones and Ubuntu Tablets ;) and watching videos on our UbuntuTV's
adaminsull: I'm not laughing
ok
wilee-nilee: sometimes you need newer software (kernel, x, video driver) and dont want to mix to much in 12.04 so you will use 12.10 because you dont have to use ppas and so on for that
So, again, one day I've booted in and discovered that I've been trapped in 800x600 resolution, which is really horrible
dr_willis, Don't forget th cerebral implant
the*
UbuntuTinFoilHat.
ActionParsnip, okay how can i kill the process and then run aptfix safely or as safe as possible
dr_willis, can i have some that stuff you're smoking :)
And wasn't able to go to higher resolution, despite reinstalling NVIDIA drivers a few times
wilee-nilee: and in 5 years we dont use X11 anymore :) but 12.04 is still using X11 :)
Kishi: how are you installing the nvidia drivers ?
iceroot, I would fresh install it as a dual first myself.
http://paste.ubuntu.com/1330124/ here is my /var/log/Xorg.0.log
Kishi: how are you installing the nvidia drivers ?
I go into recovery mode, mount my file system and run a install script from root shell
wilee-nilee: but when everything is running fine its "never touch a running system"
I need help with this error "tasksel: aptitude failed (100)" when trying to install lamp server
Kishi: so you're getting drivers from nvidia.com
Yes, I am.
iceroot, You have missed my point, just 7 months into 12.04 it seems like a phetish to upgrade, not so much use it for 5 years.
adaminsull: sudo apt-get install apache2 php5 mysql-server
Has anyone tested installing ubuntu side by side with windows 8
Sometimes I've had this problem
Kishi: is there a reason you are no tusing the ones from the ubuntu software manager ?
will try
Kishi: rather than the unsupported nvidia ones ?
Kishi: can you pastebin the output of 'lsmod'?
Kishi: as every kernel update will break them
ActionParsnip, hello man is there anyway you can teach me to use aptfix
I assume i just use xkill to kill it
Hi, I'm trying to get the microphone working on my bluetooth headset (12.04 LTS), apparently it only works in telephony mode, the option shows up as an input method, but then I don't hear anything at all, and the mic levels detect nothing.  Can anyone help? thanks!
ikonia: Perhaps because I don't have the software manager. I'm running on Kubuntu.
Kishi: there is still a software manager and package manager to install the official packaged drivers
ikonia: Muon?
Kishi: that is a poor reason
oi
Kishi: there are multiple package managers available for kde.
ikonia, nautilus?
whatever the default window manager is
bonhoeffer: I'm sorry I don't understand what you are actually asking, I suggest asking the channel as I'm losing interest
Honestly, I didn't really know that Ubuntu offers their version of NVIDIA drivers
oieeeeeeeeeeee
I thought I can only get 'em from NVIDIA website
kurumin: please don't
oops
ikonia, you shouldn't -- this is very interesting
anyway -- what is the default window manager?
sorry, explorer
bonhoeffer: sorry, I've lost interest as it's not interesting to me and I don't understand what you are asking
yes
I got this http://pastebin.com/KCRdPytH
ikonia, fair enough
bonhoeffer, They will not follow kernel upgrades among other problems.
nvidia that is
does anyone know what would be causing a mouseover effect in nautilus?
ikonia, can I ask for some help from you maybe
tbruff13: with what ?
how does nautilus interact with graphics?
png's in particular
Anyone?
tbruff13: (normally best to ask the channel to see who can help)
I need to know how to kill a distrubution upgrade for kubuntu and use aptfix to fix the left over mess
ikonia, i have
but i cannot restart my computer like this
#bluez-users
if I do I will lose it and be lost in college next week
bonhoeffer, I thought you were commenting on the nvidia drivers from them, I misunderstood.
way   not
no
tbruff13: what is your actual question ?
nathen
Seems I can't configure mysql-server 5
5.5*
can you look at this please http://imagebin.org/234492 this will help you understand
adaminsull: looks like its either already set and running, or it's not running
adaminsull: probably the latter
this program that upgrades kubuntu 12.04 to 12.10 is frozen here
Hmm.. In Additional Drivers menu I see different versions of NVIDIA drivers to activate
Well I got this
Perhaps I should try different ones
how can i end it safely restart it and let it finish
And see If It lets me go into higher resolution
adaminsull: check /var/log/mysql logs for messages about it
Kishi: it won't work well now as you're ruined it with the nvidia.com install
http://pastebin.com/SGsC5QB1
tbruff13: frozen how?
tbruff13: you'll have to restart the machine
So what do you suggest?
ikonia, what will happen will it boot back up
Kishi: if possible a clean install and do things properly
ikonia, i can xkill the process
hi
tbruff13: depends what's hung in the process
tbruff13: it may / may not boot up
tbruff13: kill the process if you want
tbruff13, Do you have access to the channel if you reboot and it does not boot?
How do I read the logs?
ikonia: I'm really not sure how to properly uninstall nvidia.com drivers, as well as not screwing up X in the proccess.
Kishi: that's why I suggested a clean install if possible to go to a known state
adaminsull: never mind - that's a apt/dpkg issue, not a mysql issue
Kishi: there is no proper uninstall for nvidia.com you have to do it all manually
Any know how to fix this error
ikonia: How would I do that?
hey can some one help me install a tar.gz file
Kishi: you get the install CD, boot from it and install
rickybo: which program?
 wilee-nilee what is the process for kde panel i killed the wrong process
rickybo, What is the package
bitcoin.07.0
i have a terminal to restart it i just need the name
yeats: Ok so is mysql working or not?
Can't use SAMBA to share a printer, although it already works for file server
Quantal Quetzar
*Quetzal
tbruff13, Not sure I have never used kde.
ikonia: So I have to wipe my whole system? Great.
Kishi: you don't have to
iceroot, try extracting the file, changing to it's directory and running make
iceroot: wilee-nilee: bitcoin0.7.0
Kishi: you can use backups, and a clean install is only my suggestion, not the law
adaminsull: it looks like it isn't getting installed, so not
Kishi: I'm suggesting putting your machine into a know working state
yeats: So what do I do
adaminsull: have you installed mysql before this?
I need to install phpbb
No
Kishi: hold on. I look at nvidia.com see what it is you installed and how to remove it. give me 2 mins.
ikonia: Well, It seems like a better solution, but I'm not sure how to do that
adaminsull: one thing at a time - you have to fix APT before proceeding
rickybo, why would you not use what is in the repo?
yeats: Ok so how?
[21:39:10ArchOpenBox: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1330124/
Kishi: by the way I dont like playing with drives they have a funny way of not fully removing from ubuntu. If this were Arch Linux it would be a thousand times easier. Cant promise anything.
adaminsull: what is the output of 'sudo dpkg --configure -a'?
yeats: Just done "apt-get upgrade -y --force-yes"
SamWeasley: use cups to share printers
Hi, I'm trying to get the microphone working on my bluetooth headset (12.04 LTS), apparently it only works in telephony mode, the option shows up as an input method, but then I don't hear anything at all, and the mic levels detect nothing.  Can anyone help? thanks!
AndresSM: please stop spewing lies
So i'll wait for that first
adaminsull: that won't work
ikonia: what?
Ok well i'll wait for it to do as it found a lotta stuff
ArchOpenBox: I've heard rumours that NVIDIA never was Linux friendly.
ikonia, how can one safely kill a distro upgrade that's using the update-manager , that's hung up on an app install (the app is dropbox )
adaminsull: the problem is with dpkg (which is a lower level program that apt uses)
wilee-nilee: it gives me an error?
AndresSM: sorry, that was for ArchOpenBox
ok
BluesKaj: can't do it "safe"
ikonia: ohnp
rickbol, here is the PPA use it notice their version. https://launchpad.net/~bitcoin/+archive/bitcoin
give me time for this to do then i'll do your command
ArchOpenBox: please don't misslead people with nonsense information about arch
AndresSM: sorry
AndresSM - I need Samba because there's some windows machine on my network
nvidia has never been nice to linux, theres a video out there with linux sticking his middle finger up at them
I have ubuntu on hd, put a 2nd distro on a compact flash... they both boot fine, that is until I pull out the CF card, then the ubuntu says grub recovery>
help
ikonia: Will not do so. Just want to look at install of driver. See what nvidia is doing.
ikonia, ok , thought that might be the case
how do i make ubuntu to boot straight to desktop instead of asking me to login?
hello all :)
neure, under users you can chose auto login
neure, go to settings, user acounts, then click unlock, select your acount and choose auto login
that too
yeats: Same as I pastebinned
the unable to set pass
somebody here can help me with uefi grub stuff?
I have a question regarding VPN server. I have VPS with ubuntu server 12.04. I've installed L2TP/ipsec + PPP on it. I can connect to it. I can ping it, etc. The problem is that when I connect my whole LAN through mikrotik router and ipsec client to that VPN I need to add additional route to VPN server, which basically points to my home LAN. The problem is that when I DC from VPN that route is also delted and i need to add it back manually ag
Is there a way I can fix this with some script that runs when ppp0 comes up, or is there a way to make router persistent even if there is no ppp0 device active?
yeats: This is the output http://pastebin.com/PQ3WfWxd
Great. He was supposed to help me, and now he's been kicked.
wilee-nilee: I have already done that I believe?
wilee-nilee: do I just download it and open it?
handuel, automatic login is not enabled
I've tried to use boot-repair tool mentioned on ubuntu page but it wont rewrite my grub enties :/
i cant enable it
it wont
Kishi: who has?
rickybo, You believe, you can check to be sure it is in either software.sources.list or  software.sources.list.d
gordonjcp: ArchOpenBox
adaminsull: yikes - several problems
Kishi: oh, well
rickybo, A ppa is added to your repo list it tells you how on the page then you update and then install the package.
adaminsull: what did you do before to install this?  (e.g., have you installed anything from source?)
Kishi: maybe he should have stopped gibbering on about Arch and annoying the ops the first time he was told, or the second maybe
neure, can you screenshot you're accounts setting for me
SamWeasley: you can share with cups for windows machines
coming onto the ubuntu irc and then saying his distro of choice is better is hardly a way to stick around
SamWeasley: can you browse to https://localhost:631 ?
gordonjcp: I'm not sure I understand, Is he not allowed to express his opinion that "Arch is better" here?
handuel, i have only single account which account type is administrator
Kishi: his opinion that arch is better, no problem. Him giving you miss-information, unacceptable.
#doh
i didnt unlock it :D
Kishi: is it relevant to Ubuntu support?
neure :D
Kishi, This is ubuntu support not arch suppory basically
support*
AndresSM: I'm on a client machine, but can't open server CUPS admin page from it...
its all linux
And he was trying to give me that support, for Ubuntu. He only stated something about Arch by the way
burtonium, The channel info lays out the premise.
manytimes i've fixed things with solutions from another distro
Kishi: which was lies.
Hey! I just install ubuntu 12.10. Now my network indicator applet shows that I'm offline,  but I got a internet connection.  Is there a easy fix for this?
ikonia: Maybe so. Though I wouldn't even take his lies as a basis to switch to Arch.
Kishi: I don't care if you do switch to arch, it's your decision, however miss-leading people in the channel is unacceptable, so he was removed.
wilee-nilee: thank you very much it is installed and up
vsn i have
ikonia: I'm not sure if he did that on purpose
rickybo, Cool, ;)
AndresSM: ran nmap from a client to the server. Port 631 closed
what is ubuntu using for home-encryption? my user-password directly or a passphrase/key which is protected with my user-password?
ikonia: Maybe he didn't know he was wrong
Kishi: best let it go
Kishi: then he was incapable of helping you
AndresSM: heyActionit is to late
tbruff13: had to go sort a backup so was AFK
wilee-nilee: if I wanted to open it from the terminal can I just type in bitcoins-qt
i am tryng to do thsat
rickybo, Not sure I have never used it.
ikonia: I won't question staff's decision since it may be considered rude. Though IMO he could have been warned first, and then banned if his behavior continued. Just sayin'
wilee-nilee: well thanks anyway I owe you one
I am in recovery mode being told when i run that command that /dev/sda1 is read only
what mount command will fix that
so i can run sudo dpkg --configure --a
SamWeasley: hmm let me see how to enable it
tbruff13: mount -o remount,rw /dev/sda1
any idea why "exec sudo log.io harvester start" doesnt work the first time in an upstart script but the second time it does  the cmd runs but doesnt have access to the net tht first time? its set to start on 2345
thanks
jaha: why don't you have it depend on networknig to start?
SamWeasley: I think by default it works localhost only
I tried installing lubuntu, but the installer hung for a couple of hours about 90% through.  how do I finish the install by hand?
hola
AndresSM: yep
@kishi: type in google How do I remove the driver installed from nvidia.com
creo q no
SamWeasley: well you'd need to run it from host machine then or via ssh forwarding
kishi: follow the guide, then try to install nvidia drivers from ubuntu
SamWeasley: got linux clients?
ubuntu-es
join #ubuntu-es
SamWeasley: regardless, I guess you could ssh forward ports
zdkl: "/join ..."
jeje ok ok
otherwise you might need to edit cupds.conf to enable remote admin
burtonium: Someone here suggested going into a known working state before
burtonium: So then I could install the drivers from Ubuntu.
burtonium: I don't know how I would do that, tho.
thanks guys i owe you one
tbruff13: all ok?
Kishi: reinstallation is probably the only sure way
SamWeasley: there is a webinterface line there, set it to yes, for reference here is my cupsd.conf http://paste.ubuntu.com/1330220/
yeats: I was thinking about reverting to old xorg.conf
yeats: Back when I wasn't using NVIDIA drivers yet
yeats: Though It may not work now
yeats: ircd etc
but what can I do?
adaminsull: huh?
ActionParsnip: yep it is setting up the missing packages
yeats: to fix those errors
kishi: never heard of system restore in ubuntu
and installing everything that was supposed to be installed after the freeze
burtonium: ikonia mentioned something about it
it was the dropbox package that caused the freeze that needs to be reported
kishi: well in that case you know who to ask ;)
tbruff13: coolies
yeats: What now?
ActionParsnip: do i need to file a bug about dropbox causing the upgrade to freeze?
tbruff13: i would
ok
anybody here know of a way to connect a RAID to two ubuntu servers so if the primary server goes down the secondary server immediately takes up where the primary left off?
tbruff13, Glad to hear things seem to be running. You might look at clonezilla fro sytem images so you wont ever lose anything and a backup for home.
burtonium: I think he's away
mrgoodcat: it's called a SAN
i uninstalled xen-hypervisor and removed the /boot/vmlinuz that came with it.  when i reinstall xen, the kernel doesn't come back.
what gives/
mrgoodcat: there's a whole world of high-availability computing waiting out there to drive you mad and consume all your money
also, i was attempting to reinstall xen because I installed jack audio and then xen wouldn't boot.
wilee-nilee: everything i need is in my dropbox
adaminsull: I would look try 'sudo apt-get remove --purge mysql-server'?
Now open
gordonjcp: not me, the company i work for
tbruff13: you can start the process with:  ubuntu-bug nautilus-dropbox
AndresSM - now open
customization is just a minor loss if the system did crash out
yeats: Ok
we just had a server go down and piss off a lot of people so my boss wants it to not happen again
adaminsull: you're saying that it was not installed before, but the errors indicate that there is data corruption somewhere
tbruff13, Except that you need a running computer to use it, clonzilla will do network backups.
ActionParsnip: my computer is still in recovery mode i am using a windoze and the webchat to talk to you
wilee-nilee: what is clonezilla
tbruff13, A cloner
adaminsull: if that command doesn't work, I would look into manually deleting the mysql data directory
So to sum it up:
yeats:
libc6 : Depends: libc-bin (= 2.15-0ubuntu10) but 2.15-0ubuntu10.3 is to be installed
 libc6-dev : Depends: libc6 (= 2.15-0ubuntu10.3) but 2.15-0ubuntu10 is to be installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).
tbruff13: gotcha, you can use this link if you want
The only way to get rid of nvidia.com drivers
adaminsull: pastebin, please ;-)
ok
Is to reinstall Ubuntu...
tbruff13, http://clonezilla.org/
ActionParsnip: what link???
tbruff13: there is a link on launchpad to manually report a bug, its named on the Ubuntu bug reporting page
ok
adaminsull: but to fix that, try doing 'apt-get -f install' as suggested
ok
hi good morning, if you're in asia ..
tbruff13, I just could relate to your college studies, I'm in grad scool right now and cannot lose anything is all. ;)
school*
i will try it out
AndresSM now I enter, but gives me a Forbidden on navigator on the CUPS admin

blistov: dpkg -i <package filename>
yeats: any idea?
wols: i don't know what the package name is.
I figured it came with one of the xen packages that are already installed.
blistov: packages.ubuntu.com does
adaminsull: I'm very confused about why you're running a 2.6.18 kernel if you're on 12.04
you're running kernel 2.6 right? adamin
i have ubuntu 12.04 .and i installed ked-full and kubuntu in my ubuntu.i want to remove kde and kubuntu.where can i start
2.6..18
Then what can I do to updade it?
yeah, maybe install the latest kernel .. 3.6
update*
how?
adaminsull: you should reboot to load the new kernel
adaminsull: try rebooting
ActionParsnip: Will I loose any data?
does anyome have any tips for speeding up "reading package lists..." ?
adaminsull: nope
yeats: How do I reboot?
can anyone help me to install xulrunner?

ubuntu-fan001, What desktop do you want and what release is it?
here is pastebin for fdisk http://paste.ubuntu.com/1330257/
Looking for the boot paramaters for ubuntu when serving it over a pxe server
yeats: then how to boot?
wols: that package is xen-hypervisor-4.1
which i just reinstalled and still no kernel.
unity and 12.04
adaminsull: er... that will do it
so i figure the kernel must normally come in another package.
?
ubuntu-fan001, Ah I see 12.04 what desktop do you want?
blistov: check /var/cache/apt/archives/
hello i am trying to setup routing on my system so local requests coming in on eth0 will go throw wlan1 and out to the internet
wols: did.
adamin, try to look at this: http://blog.hostonnet.com/how-to-install-linux-kernel-3-4-0-on-ubuntu-12-04-11-10
i have unity ,but i want to remove kde
reinstalled everything that starts with xen
if it's not there, get it frm packages.ubuntu.com
hmmm.
blistov: reinstalled how?
bye
when i bring up eth0 the system starts sending requests through eth0 instead of wlan1 i think
systematical: http://rbgeek.wordpress.com/2012/05/14/ubuntu-as-a-firewallgateway-router/
wols:  dpkg -i xen*
yeats: Done
savio, What are you trying to do actually?
How do I start my znc again?
the problem seems to be that I don't know what package contains that kernel.
blistov: what problem are you trying to solve?
adaminsull_: okay, then try 'sudo apt-get -f install'
blistov: kernels are in "linux-image*"
wols: my /boot/vmlinuz (xen kernel) is gone.
blistov: linux-image-generic   or linux-image-generic-pae
ubuntu-fan001, http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/pureubuntuprecise
yeats: How do I boot my znc
wols: i'm guessing you haven't installed xen...
adaminsull_: what is 'znc'?
wilee-nilee, i have one unallocated space i want to make use of that it's about 60 gb
quick question on Ubuntu server
what runs a bnc
blistov: I'm guessing you don't know how kernels are named
forgot to enable on  the <> sections
how easy is it to install an LDAP, bind, dhcp server and manage it with Ubuntu?
wols: thanks. very helpful.
hey, can somebody help me fixing my uefi path for my windows7 dualboot option ?
adaminsull_: sorry, I don't know that that is
i didn't think to check if my running system has a kernel installed.
ok
...
blistov: ActionParsnip told you what to get
my intention is to build a full windows AD type network with single signon but use linux to do it
linux-image-generic installed the generic kernel.
yeats: FATAL -> Failed to fork. 0%
does not install a kernel called "vmlinuz" which is what xen uses.
savio, YOu only have 2 primaries and the extended, where is the unallocated, a gparted screenshot would be rather helpful.
adaminsull_: can you provide some context for that error?
blistov: vmlinuz is a simple symlink generally
wilee-nilee, where should i post that screenshot
reinstalled linux-image-generic.
still not there.
root@zxdhfdai:~# sudo apt-get -f install
FATAL -> Failed to fork. 0%
...
Thats all it said
yeats:
wols:  are you sure that's how it works?
ubuntu-fan001, Does that link make sense you can remove whole desktops by running the lists.
I really don't believe so.
blistov: yes
adaminsull_: it looks like your system is borked
yeah i think so
yeats: can't be
thanx for that
Afternoon all
so why when I installed jack, did my xen kernel stop booting but my regular kernel (which you are saying was the same kernel) does not boot?
yeats: I just need to install phpbb
another question
blistov: tho, ubuntu has package with a vmlinuz kernel file. NONE. http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?searchon=contents&keywords=vmlinuz&mode=&suite=quantal&arch=any
first i want to get rid of the kde login
l
*has no package
wilee-nilee, http://imagebin.org/234497
ubuntu-fan001, Coo no problem, try to use nicks on the channel you can autocomplete them with the tab. It is going pretty fast right now and it is easy to get lost. ;)
cool*
blistov: where did you get your kernel from? probably not ubuntu repos
l
how do i maximize windows i see no bar where i ought :C
for some reason I'm unable to install Skype in Ubuntu 12.10, it says the ppa gives a 404 and software center force closes. what can I do to fix this? thanks
yeats: ?
adaminsull_: that error can't be good in any case
tried dragging them to the top bluegrass ?
no bar to drag
bluegrass: if you hold ALT and drag it down, is one there?
wilee-nilee, okey but i cant copy paste ur name
thanks yall
yeats: ok but how can I install phpbb?
adaminsull_: I think you're beyond my ability to help - looks like you have deeper system issues
:/
ActionParsnip figgered it out :>
Somone?
savio, Yeah you have 3 primaries just expand the sda3 into that space using a live cd and gparted, make sure the swap is unmounted when you do.
whats up adaminsull_
mjc_: I want to install phpbb but getting lots of errors
ubuntu-fan001, Hehe that worked.
how did you attempt to install it / what errors ?
wilee-nilee, what is quicket way to answer with nickname
savio, As long as you are not trying to put a bpptable windows in the extended you will be fine.
blistov: what files show up: ls -l /boot/vmlinuz*
FATAL -> Failed to fork. 0%
wilee-nilee, every time i have to write ur name
Worked before I did a reboot
ubuntu-fan001, Type a few letters of ot then hit the tab to auto complete the nick.
wilee-nilee, how ? no i'll not using windows
wilee-nilee, oh i see
savio, How what?
wilee-nilee, nice
wols:  nothing.
wilee-nilee, thanx
AndresSM - i can see now the adminstration page
ubuntu-fan001,  no problem. ;)
wilee-nilee, how can i expand sda3 you mean to say move/resize
don't worry about it.  will just rebuild from source.
and now I can add a printer via KDE Control center
blistov: dpkg -l libc6|tail -1; dpkg -l linux*
yeats: it was not showing failed to fork before u told me to reboot
wilee-nilee, so how can i get rid of the kde login
blistov: if you do compile your own, I very strongly suggest you use kernel-package
already done.
Now back to my original problem.
adaminsull_: rebooting it was necessary to fix the dpkg issues - you have something wrong with your system
*sigh*.
savio, You need to be on a live cd to resize Linux partitions they can't be mounted. You would right click on the sda3 partitiopn then resize and drag the right end as far as it will go.
Gonna delete all mysql
wols: installed Jack and then Xen no longer boots.  errors out with ataN.00: failed to identify (i/o error
ubuntu-fan001, If you use the list to remove the kde it should be gone.
using the same kernel for my other bootup.
works fine.
same options other than the xen dom0 kernel is also loading.
blistov: apt-get -o DPkg::Options::="--force-confmiss" --reinstall install <packagename>
wilee-nilee, and what is with swap space ? and why this can't happen on running system just asking
that will recreate your vmlinuz symlink
AndresSM - I can now print from my machine
wilee-nilee, its a long list and it is very risky , u lose lots of app,the kde login is good for start.
Anyone done LDAP installs on Ubuntu?
SamWeasley: you mean all good now?
wilee-nilee, if its possible!!!!
SamWeasley: I guess you added the printer by http://ip_add:631/printers/printername right? if so, glad to have helped
Can anyone help me. I upgraded to 12.10 and now my only display option is 640x480, it should be 1280x1024. I googled it and tried other suggestions to no avail.
edlik: Install proprietary drivers.
edlik: what video chip are you using?
*AndresSM - now I just need to setup it on a Windows machine
oh
ok
SamWeasley: windows 7?
AndresSM - yes
savio, I just noticed the swap is a primary and it is a sda4 you will have to remove it to resize the sda3 just put it back inside the extended so that you have the partitions in numerical order left to right
SamWeasley: just go to printers, add new printer
there select network printer
and printer wasn't listed
wilee-nilee, so i'll be having no swap
edlik: Go to System Settings;Software Sources;Additional Drivers tab. And install newest version driver for your graphics card.
SamWeasley: then the important step, Select printer  by name and type: http://your_cups_ip:631/printers/printer_queue_name
savio, That extended can be resized from bothe ends and the partitions inside it as well. Never get the partition numbers out of line numerically left to right looking at them in gparted
SamWeasley: printerqueue name can be found in the cups web interface
thelinux: thank you I will try that
edlik: Let me know if it works.
SamWeasley: after that, make sure to select the correct driver, ps version (postscript)
and that should be all
savio, YOU can put gthe swap in the extended, you are going to expand it to the unallocated.
AndresSM - okay. Thanks!
how can i get rid of the kde login
what are you running ?
wilee-nilee, so you suggesting that i'll first remove swap then size it and again allocate swap correct me if i wrong
is the kde login screen = KDM
SamWeasley: let me know if it works
savio, You will have to remove the swap first to do anything with the sda3 yes.
Hey guys. I want to evaluate some different window managers. Is there any way I can run gnome 3 shell, kde, etc in a window in my current desktop without having to exit back to lightdm each time? I'm currently running cinnamon on ubuntu 12.04 AMD64
"sudo apt-get autoremove --purge kdm " does the job???!!?!?!?
My younger sister just recently acquired a new system, and I'm having some issues getting Ubuntu installed alongside Windows. I had initially installed Windows 7 HP, to avoid any funny business with the boot loader, but I'm discovering that Windows installed in UEFI mode. What I'm finding is that Ubuntu isn't installing GRUB when I install it to a separate partition. Is there anything I need to know about installing Ubuntu with UEF
I alongside Windows?
anyone?
somebody
ubuntu-fan001: kdm = KDE display manager http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KDE_Display_Manager
ubuntu-fan001: Yes.
wilee-nilee, thanks i'll report you what happened
thelinux: additional drivers tab is empty. how do I get it to recognize my graphics card?
savio, You can then exspand the sda3 into te space the swap was in, and then the sd5 into the space left from the sda3 moved to the left. Now do this all one at a time, don't set all of this to run continuously
edlik: What graphics card are you using?
thelinux, jetole  thanx
FrozenFire do you have ur windows 7 cd ?
so yeah, any way I can run a display manager in a window i.e. run gnome 3 in a window without having to kill my current display manager? I could have swore I saw this done 5 years ago or more
without vm
thelinux: AMD Radeon X300
edlik: Which Ubuntu? 32 bit or 64 bit?
I dont believe this. MSN and Google Talk accounts not working in empathy on 12.10?
I want to fix a bug in Quantal that also exists in Precise. Which package do I work on? Current, or Quantal?
thelinux:32bit
:)
Is there an easy way to automatically remove stuff from trash which has been there for longer than x days if it's bigger than y bits?
well I found the answer to my question. Can next WM's via xnest, xephyr and other similar apps
(or megabytes, rather, but doesn't matter)
Linkandzelda__: are there any bugs reported?
edlik: http://www2.ati.com/drivers/linux/ati-driver-installer-9-3-x86.x86_64.run
*can nest WM's
AndresSM - worked okay on a Windows 7 64 bit machine
bekks: getting Destination host unreachable when pinging eth0 from windows machine
ActionParsnip: yes, its a confirmed bug, i just dont beleive it lol
t4b, You can delete without ever putting stuff there if you want easily.
Anything I need to know about different settings on a XP or Vista?
systematical: After doing what exactly...?
i'd call it a huge bug rendering the app useless >_>
bekks: following the tutorial you sent me
systematical: I havent read it, to be honest.
Does anyone know of a tool that lets me set the file- and foldernames of my music collection to equal its ID3 tags?
edlik: Did you directly upgraded from 12.04? I think you should do fresh install, cause I had problems when I directly upgraded distribution. Did Ubuntu recognized and downloaded drivers on 12.04? Or this problem occurs only on 12.10?
I read a lot about doing the inverse, but that's not what I'm looking for. The ID3 tags are all correct, the filenames aren't.
systematical: easytag
bekks: :-(
GNA.
hi
sevenforall: easytag. :)
systematical: So you have to be more precise please.
bekks: It seems to be able to do filename>tag, but not the inverse :-P
sevenforall: It is. I am using it for years now.
SamWeasley: tbh I don't know
wilee-nilee, I know, but I like being able to undo stuff, I just don't want it to waste too much space on my harddrive.
it should work tho
sevenforall: puddletag will do it both ways
bekks: Could you give me a hint
+ ?
bekks: the idea here is to turn my ubuntu system into a router, windows connects to eth0 and external requests go out wlan1
sevenforall: The menu icons do have tooltips :)
why does amazon appear in my home folder on 12.04.1?
bekks: They do... I can't find anything even close
thelinux: I did upgrade from 12.04 and yes, I did have a problem with 12.04 .
sevenforall: easytag can do both and a lot more
edlik: Try going to that link I gave you to download ATI driver. If that wont solve the problem do it as I said before, fresh install.
t4b, One could probably write a script to do this, but it would seem easier to just pay attention, and also realize that you should not have your HD more then about 70% full to run optimally.
guntbert: Apparently, but I still don't know how
sevenforall: "Scan files" :)
wilee-nilee, I found something called "autotrash" in the repo, trying it right now. I don't want to pay attention, I'm lazy.
rsolma: not in dash, but your home folder?
sevenforall: or use puddletag and click the big F
edlik: Or problem even could be because of AMD's bad support for Linux drivers. I even had a problem back in Ubuntu 10.04 with my NVIDIA drivers.
bekks: My biggest problem is that I don't see anything that lets me actually apply/process it :P
hello. could anybody help me get a program to install right, i cant seem to ge tit
I can see a lot of configuration, but no action button
AndresSM - okay. Thanks anyway.
t4b, Hehe I know the feeling, thats why I just delete it.
i think so
By for now.
*bye
it has a music note
sevenforall: "Scan files", do you changes, then "Save files".
bassna: what app?
hi again
its not working
and amovie image
bekks: It would be nice if it would show me what's going to change as well
i heard amazon now is integrated?
rsolma: so when you click the home folder in dash, you see an amazon thing?
sevenforall: It actually does. You tell it what you want to change.
rsolma, YOU can reach it from a lens
rsolma: yes, it can be removed though, remove it if you don't want to use it
sevenforall: And changed files are marked in red, and get black after saving them.
wilee-nilee, i did what u gave me but its gave me error
i typed the terminal code
thelinux: is there such thing as the perfect set up for a ubuntu system? If there is, I may have to build one.
anyone have a copy of the default hosts file for ubuntu 11.10
its still there
edlik: depends on what you call "perfect"
bekks: If I change the Directory/Filename scan to use the tags, I don't see an OKAY button or something
does 12.04.1 have a lens
edlik: Did you try to download that driver from AMD's site?
from amazon
ubuntu-fan001, What is the error?
thelinux:it is installing now
rephy222: I can make you one
wilee-nilee, Package kubuntu-desktop is not installed, so not removed
Package kdm is not installed, so not removed
Package libkdecorations4 is not installed, so not removed
Package libkdegames5a is not installed, so not removed
Package libkwineffects1abi3 is not installed, so not removed
Package libkwinglutils1 is not installed, so not removed
i know theres a terminal code that will remove lens
ubuntu-fan001, Had you removed anything already, and is this a straight kubuntu-desktop
ok
FloodBot1, sorry sorry i'm new
sevenforall: Scan files -> tell what you want to change -> Click Scan Files button -> Click close button -> Click save files button.
wilee-nilee, yes
edlik: Did you try to setup resolution? Go to dash and type "Displays".
rephy222: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1330332/
action, im trying to get ProjectM to work. i have it installed but it wont open
unable to locate lens
thaks
Is there a support channal?
mspencer: quantal *is* current :-)
wilee-nilee, i'm on the unity desktop i wanted to try out the kde , so installed it and now i want to remove kde again
bassna: have you tried running it from terminal?
ubuntu-fan001, If it is only that 4 files then copy the list to a gedit and remove those from the list and run it again.  The deal with doing it this way is  the full desktop has to be there to begin with if not you have to edit the list.  There may be other ways but not easier.
yeah when i first installed, it was like 2 weeks ago
lilcyber: this is the ubuntu support channel, welcome
it gave me a error
let me find the command to open it
ubuntu-fan001, in order to really try out kde you need to install kubuntu-desktop
bekks: It turned red, but it's still the old filenames in red
i just installed gnome3 desktop trying to get used to it
hi all I am tring to mak a symlink from ln-s  /opt/eclipse/eclipse to /usr/bin/ and I keep getting an archive file in /usr/bin/ called eclipse. can someone assist
Okay thank you guntbert.  guntbert my nvidia card is overheating, and I got it down to 60C but it won't go down any farther.  I have the current nvidia card drivers
ubuntu-fan001, In gedit you can search for stuff with ctrl-f
im just not sure why amazon is integrated
cant seem to find it again
BluesKaj, yes i try the kde desktop by installing kde-full and then after a 2 months i install kubuntu-desktop
when i click the note symbol in hud
rsolma, Google canonical and amazon you wil probably get the basic answer
guntbert: in launchpad, there are different versions for quantal and raring. quantal is 0.92.9 and raring is 0.92.11
lilcyber: sorry, no experience with nvidia here  - but there are plenty helpers, if anyone knows an answer he will say so
ok
Okay, thanks.
so
bassna: if you open the .desktop file in gedit, you can see what is executed. Or run:  history   tosee the last commands you ran
are you saying it not possible to remove lens in 12.04.1
and only 12.10
ubuntu-fan001, Does that all make sense as far as editing the remove list?

mspencer: usually you'd work on the development version (raring) and eventually backport it to quantal
also have some privacy questions
ubuntu-fan001, Cool, I have run into the same problem with full desktops installed, and just did it this way.
guntbert: would I also backport the bug fix to precise?
hi, i have a problem: i upgraded from ubuntu 12.04 to 12.10, but now my wireless card doesn't work anymore... i have a ralink rt2800, in 12.04 it worked with the driver of ralink, to make and make install it, but with 12.10 this doesn't work anymore... can any1 help me plz?
does cannonical respect your privacy?
when you say you want it turned off
ANy clue?
you want to turn off your privacy?
do i?
thelinux: the computer is still working hard, nothing in displays yet
i dont know
is that what evrybody else does
mspencer: I am not good with those processes, maybe (if noone here knows better) ask in #ubuntu-bugs
we dont know what you are asking rsolma...
kk
greenit: do you have the kernel source for the kernel you are using?
when i serch online
or visit websites
ActionParsnip: erm.. i use the standard-kernel of ubuntu, from the repos
Is anyone informative in nvidia cards for ubuntu?
ok
I need help with an error
guntbert: thanks for your help!
greenit: yes, but you will need the kernel headers for that kernel
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::bad_alloc'
  what():  std::bad_alloc
mspencer: thx for working on improving :)
wilee-nilee, http://imagebin.org/234509 here is after the modification
lilcyber: in what way?
when i serch online, i get advertisements, its like im being tracked, does cannonical track me and where i go?
actionparsnip http://pastebin.com/dD7CL9Q1
ActionParsnip: what would happen if they are not installed?
i know google does
my nvidia card (geforce 9600GT) is at 60c and won't come down
what does cannonical send back
bassna: can you pm me the text, work locked down our web. Trying to work round it right now
rsolma: read the "Legal Notice" on the bottom right of the dash
 wilee-nilee ,here is the erorr http://paste.ubuntu.com/1330373/
lilcyber: did you install the proprietary driver?
lilcyber: do you use switchable graphics?
savio, Looks god except you have the swap as a sda7 that leaves you at the least having to remove that swap to do any resizing, and it will make all the partitions above it the sda8 revert to a sda7
ActionParsnip: nvm, they are installed^^
good*
Yes I did, and it doesn't give me the option do adjust the fan speed. Also What do you mean switchable graphics. Also I am  using two monitors. ActionParsnip
How do I fix this? http://pastebin.com/kHy02Nsa
lilcyber: if you run:  sudo lshw -C display     do you also see an intel GPU?
think i sent it?
Let me check ActionParsnip
wilee-nilee, http://paste.ubuntu.com/1330371/ here is fdisk output what about last line
greenit: ok, when you run the compile. What errors do you get?
anyone familiar with netem
which compile? from the rt2800 module?
ubuntu-fan001, So just out of curiosity what did you run to remove anything before this. And is this the kubntu-desktop or kde exactly?
sry, forgot ActionParsnip ^^
greenit: yes, I thought that was the issue in hand....
ActionParsnip, I shall pm you what I get so it doesn't look like I am spamming.
Okay thanks
adaminsull: thats not enough information - give more details please
lilcyber: sure
wilee-nilee, this sudo apt-get install -y ppa-purge
sudo ppa-purge ppa:kubuntu-ppa/backports
sudo apt-get autoremove
http://pastebin.com/HhYmNWbu
guntbert: Whenever I use apt -get I get that
lilcyber: I can't access pastebins here, locked down web sucks
Ah okay
ActionParsnip: nope, thats not the issue, i can load the module (it compiled without any errors), but the wireless card does not work as it did in 12.04... it sees the wireless network, but it can't connect to it.. 1 hr before it could (when 12.04 was on it)..
how do I get an iso of the current development version? http://cdimages.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ only shows amd64 versions.
savio, fdsik list the partitions in numerical order, look closely at the start and stop end blocks
greenit: can you ping 8.8.8.8 over the wifi?
ActionParsnip, I pmd you
mspencer: won't be isos yet
wilee-nilee, yeah can i fixed that using x switch in advanced mode of fdisk
lilcyber: got :)
how can i limit network usage?
neure: in what sense?
i'd need to limit net speed globally
guntbert: What now?
Awesome
say dont exceed 100kbit/s
then how do I test the development version of packages? in quantal?
wilee-nilee sorry using f switch
adaminsull: please pastebin the complete command and output
neure:  tc
mspencer: The safe way would be setting up a vm and upgrading quantal to 13.04
tc? how do i use it?
savio, Cool, but you understand that at least with gparted you can't resize a partition below a one out of order on the disc
ActionParsnip: nope, i can't even connect to my network... and with 8.8.8.8 it says network unreachable
mspencer: join #ubuntu+1
guntbert: http://pastebin.com/4hkUy1FL
guntbert: thanks!
wilee-nilee, gotcha
greenit: what interface do you get for the wifi?
ActionParsnip: ra0
savio, I would just remove the swap again, I , mentioned this already, and resize the sda5 into that  space. Then shrink the sda8 to the right and put the swap after it. you would be in numerical order then.
adaminsull: we don't support having the root account enabled
So try with sudo?
savio, sorry resize the sd8 to the left for a unallocated for the swap.
greenit: hmmm, maybe you should make a udev rule to make it wlan0 which network manager seems to prefer
guntbert: Using sudo makes no difference?
adaminsull: why did you enable the root account?
I dunno
ActionParsnip: well... it worked smoothly until today, when i decided to upgrade to 12.10^^
What should I do
hi. how do you get rid of the resize grip in the bottom right corner of [terminal] windows in 12.10? .gtkrc-2.0 GtkWindow::resize-grip-height = 0 trick no longer works...
wilee-nilee, http://paste.ubuntu.com/1330391/ here is after i use expert option
greenit: yes, the upgrade is a huge change to the OS
guntbert: Ok so what do I do
I'm new to ubuntu
adaminsull: the webpage you got told from ubottu tells you how to diable the roout account again
savio, Does fdisk have an option to change the disk numbers?
guntbert: Done
Now what?
ok, the amazon lenses are gone
Does anyone know how i can move the Unity launcher to the bottom of the screen?
wilee-nilee, i use f option from expert command
adaminsull: now try (and pastebin again)   sudo apt-get update
Hello, I am seeking help from anyone who is willing.
Linkandzelda__: there is a PPA (not sure what releases it supports) to move it. It is known to break things
Guest97836: put your question to the channel
Matt what happened
guntbert: http://pastebin.com/NbRgH55R
ActionParsnip: what kind of things end up breaking?
about the privacy settings, there all unchecked, my question was, when you uncheck/turn off privacy, do i still get tracked?
by cannoical
Linkandzelda__: omgubuntu had a doc on it, called something like: customize unity like never before     or something like that
echo 1 >> '/proc/sys/vm/drop_caches'
or do they respect that
savio, Cool I only use it for just checking the partition numbers and boot flags when needed.
Linkandzelda__: its listed on the page. The only way to move it is to change the code
ActionParsnip: thanks, i'll see if i can do it without messing up stuff lol
guntbert: Now I can't ssh
wilee-nilee, thanks for your help many many thanks
savio, No problem we both learned here. ;)
wilee-nilee, yup :)
adaminsull: I am searching
thats what i dont understand
ok
Matt here, had to change my username.
'pologies.
guntbert: Well I can ssh but not ftp
Anyway, my problem is that my speakers will not work.
adaminsull: you are still working as root
They play the little drumming sound when ubuntu starts,
rsolma: read the Legal Notice, there is an adress at the bottom that you can use to contact Canonical with any questions you have. You'd be better off doing that
but nothing else.
ok
I did "sudo passwd -dl root"
hi
thats a good idea
The sound is not muted or anything, and sound meters in Pulse Control show that sound is coming out
guntbert: ^
do they reply
But no sound actually comes out
rsolma: try it
Same with any plug-ins like headphones or speakers
im just under the impression that ubuntu has now become like big brother
rsolma: If you turn off the right lenses, ubuntu doesn't send your searches out, if that's what you're talking about.
So, does anyone have any ideas as to what to do?
guntbert: no
yes thats what i meant
adaminsull: yes, I should have told you to exit the session, but -- are you running on a remote machine?
i cant tell you how many times ive gotten adds for the things i serch for
rsolma: My understanding is that you can turn that stuff off in preferences somewhere.
JSF16, from a terminal run alsamixer and check that the default device is selected and that the sliders are turned up
its errie
yep
I'm using mac terminal to ssh to it which works
rsolma: Yes, I don't like it at all either (I use xubuntu so it hasn't been an issue for me yet)
but what i meant was
but ftp nope
whe  you turn it off, is it really off
adaminsull: what version of ubuntu are your running?
im gonna ask
hi, i'm trying to preseed ubuntu, and i mostly got it working, but for some reason i just cant get the ubiquity/success_command working, it seems to not do anything at all... not even a simple "echo "foo" > /target/etc/foobar" any ideas on how i can find out why?
cannonmical
One moment,
Alright.
I have turned all my sliders up
rsolma: My understanding is that it is indeed off if you put that setting on. You might need to log out/in for it to properly take effect, I'm not sure.
And I BELIEVE that the default sound card is selected
oh ok
guntbert: http://pastebin.com/593Zp5Vc
good
Negative on sound, the speakers still won't make a peep.
ActionParsnip, hey the gpu card is still around 60-65C
IdleOne: cheers
yep i did remove all lenses
IdleOne: asking ubottu about it and she said: flight-of-the-amazon-queen    made me smile, old school
adaminsull: the reason for my question was that the only cases of std::bad_alloc seem to be from 2007 :)
hey wilee-nilee , ijust autoremove --purge plasma-*
ok
another question, in spotify
oops
* ActionParsnip shows his age
guntbert: What now?
dont use enter as pause
forgot
ubuntu-fan001, Is that helping?
Can any other courses of action be recommended?
adaminsull: 1) lets make certain that you don't loose the conection - is this a remote server?
wilee-nilee, i dont know yet,but it has long list about 1.247 mb will be free it says
I think
I use ssh to access it
guntbert:
in spotify, the background is black due to the mediteranean dark theme
JSF16, in sound what is your chosen sound device?
guys quick, how do i launch the window manager from terminal? i just enabled "wobbly windows" and now i have no window borders or dock or menu bar, but i have a terminal open lol
wilee-nilee, i dont know yet,but it has long list about 1247 mb will be free it says
yay web access :)
Pardon, chosen sound service?
Do you mean my sound card?
oh god what have i done
ubuntu-fan001, All I will say here is that pecking at it is not advised, if it were me I would see if you can get a full kubuntu-desktop install, then try the list
in spotify the background is dark because of the mediterranean dark them i cant see the font when i type?
adaminsull: so please start a 2nd ssh session, but with your normal user instead of root (I know that doesn't help against std::bad_alloc :-))
JSF16: what is the output of: wget -O alsa-info.sh http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh && chmod +x ./alsa-info.sh && ./alsa-info.sh --upload
in sound preferences do ou have more than one sound device to choose from?
like windows, does ubuntu not work well with dark themes?
wilee-nilee, how do u get full kubuntu-desktop???!!!
rsolma: the default theme is quite dark
guntbert:  can SSH not FTP
actionparsnip: true
rsolma: http://www.noobslab.com/2012/10/install-gnomishdark-theme-on-ubuntu.html
ubuntu-fan001, Try this and see if you get any errors sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop
ubuntu-fan001 dont you just download the kubuntu iso
guntbert: ircd ftp works
not root
adaminsull: so you have two ssh connections now? one as root and one as your user?
ActionParsnip, the temp is went up back to 65C
SSH yes but FTP just ircd
MattJCliffe, no i use unity and i installed kde-full package
Oh....
god damn it. none of the ways to get rid of these *stupid* resize grips work in 12.10.
I, fixed it.
Aaaand now feel like an idiot.
this is really irritating
Well thank you for your time.
lilcyber: all I can recommend is remove all nvidia packages (except nvidia-common) then reinstall nvidia-current then reboot
Helped me find where to go
lilcyber: have you checked the cooling on the card
What do you mean by that ActionParsnip ?
Sufficiently humilated now, I'll step out
Have a good day
MattJCliffe, This a remove kubuntu exercise, stuff was removed ahead of time and a pckg list for removing everything is erring.
adaminsull: I don't care about ftp just now! please once more (in the new connection) type   sudo apt-get update (and pastebin it )
lilcyber: what part is causing you confusion?
wilee-nilee, if it not working ,after that i try ur way
Linkandzelda__: Try "unity --replace" and if that doesn't work then "unity --reset" (which will reset all compiz settings and restart unity).
The checking the cooling on the cARD
*Card
ubuntu-fan001, Hehe cool.
Jordan_U: hope they aren't using Quantal ;)
guntbert: ircd is not in the sudoers file.  This incident will be reported.
hey, anyone wanna give a linux noob a hand?
lilcyber: there will be a cooling solution on the card, check it is clear of fluff and junk
ActionParsnip: Why? (if they shouldn't run either of those commands please warn them).
Meaning the thermal paste?
Jordan_U: --reset is deprecated in Quantal afaik
hey another question i have i installed ubuntu 12.10 on the other machine i have trouble with the /boot
oh. kay, well i'm trying to use terminal to install a program, following the install instructions i have to use ./configure, but once i do it tells me it is unable to find the qmake tool for Qt 4
i have /boot partition separate from the /
adaminsull: what is that remote system? A VPS?
yea
and when i wanted the grub be on that partition(/boot)
guntbert: Yes
it gave me the minigrub4dos
adaminsull: you might have said so in the beginning - please use the "root" connection to reenable the root password
and wont boot
guntbert: So enable what I disabled?
adaminsull: yes, many vps come configured differently, and I don't want to change that right now
guntbert: Done
Now what?
cosmo: sounds like you haven't got all the dependencies installed
cosmo: what are you trying to build?
i'm trying to install qbittorrent, but i think i just figured it out
adaminsull: the obvious reason for your apt-get problem seems to be "not enough memory", what are the specs of your system? do you run any "big" programs?
i did a sudo -apt get thing for Qt4
actionparsnip:awsome site
rsolma: what is?
noobslabs
the theme site
guntbert: MY RAM HAS BEEN SWOLLOWED
cosmo: you probably want some dev packages too
yeah, ran ./configure again and got a new reason for not working: There was an error compiling 'conf'.  See conf.log for details.
cosmo: qbittorrent is packaged for 12.04 at least
Jordan_U: after running that command I lost keyboard input, and it didnt solve the problem. so i force restarted and now i'm back in
rsolma: i just searched and it came up. Never seen it before personally
cosmo: why are you building from source?
rsolma: http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=dark+theme+ubuntu+12.10&rls=com.microsoft:en-gb:IE-Address&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&sourceid=ie7&rlz=1I7AURU_enGB505&redir_esc=&ei=CZqVUK2tH4nG0QWJiYH4Ag    and it came up
Linkandzelda: You could have gotten to a terminal via ctrl+alt+F1, for future reference.
http://www.noobslab.com/2012/10/install-gnomishdark-theme-on-ubuntu.html
gordonjcp, it's a specific version i need (3.0.6), because a torrent site i want to use has the pre-installed qbittorrent version blacklisted >_<
guntbert: ok so how can I remove mysql
rsolma: nothing the average internet user cannot do
Jordan_U: how can I press those keys without keyboard input?
your being modest:
well thanx though
<Linkandzelda> : via accesability options
Linkandzelda: You probably did have keyboard input, just no window in X was active to recieve it.
adaminsull: please pastebin the output of  free -m
how do i make my site work as a unity 12.10 web app?
I only have 9MB free so something has eaten it
Jordan_U: possibly, though I tried some shortcuts and got no response. I'll remember it for the future though, cheers
Linkandzelda: Also, sysrq goes directly to the kernel if you are really stuck.
guntbert: How do I delete some stuff?
Jordan_U: thats cool, but not if i dont even have a print screen button on this mac haha
adaminsull: please calm down, see http://www.linuxatemyram.com/, and show me the output of  free -m
adaminsull: if you have RAM, why not use it? The OS uses RAM as disk cache to speed up the OS
ActionParsnip: I want to add stuff and 300MB has gone
adaminsull: if you run:  free -m   the second line left most number is the REAL used RAM by apps, the rest is cache
http://pastebin.com/3kbmRKCd
free ram is wasted ram
edlik: Did you solve your problem?
ActionParsnip: HELP
ActionParsnip: he actually *has* a RAM problem, he gets std::bad_alloc when running apt-get
guntbert: It's because something ate 300MB
how do I remove some stuff
guntbert: gotcha
why don't you have swap?
I dunno yet
adaminsull: have you tested the RAM using memtest from Grub?
adaminsull: removing stuff will not help, your problem is there is no swap
Can u just tell me how I delete stuff
guntbert: but what happened to my 300MB?
ActionParsnip: its a VPS, with root account enabled
ActionParsnip: No
adaminsull: they are still there
guntbert: Then where are they
It was free before
adaminsull:  why do you not have swap?
cnf: I don't know
adaminsull: sounds like you need a s,arthands to get it checked
whut
adaminsull:  so find out!
cnf: How
I don't know ubuntu much
o,O
adaminsull:  you don't know much about linux, do you?
ActionParsnip: may I invite you to step in? time's running out here :)
greetings.. I was on a while back and got some help with my middle mouse button not scrolling in FF
No
adaminsull: vps installs seem to have all kinds of weirdness about them, had a guy in and all kinds of files were not setUID'd. real mess
guntbert: tag out bro!
ActionParsnip: Was ok before
I thought I had mentioned I was on virtualbox. . found the answer: go to Machine and Disable Mouse Integration and Bingo!!
adaminsull: I have to leave you to the knowledgable ActionParsnip - bedtime here - Good luck!
guntbert: ok
Hi~
I have no questions whatsoever, just wanted to say hi.
WHAT 177MB MYSQL
adaminsull: Why is that critical?
bekks: I need my ram back
adaminsull: Unused RAM is wasted RAM.
that's what i said
adaminsull : go get it
bekks: Yes but I need unused so I can install what I want
MattJCliffe: How
it's just gone
adaminsull:  go find out why you have no swap
adaminsull: are you sure its not in your pocket
adaminsull: You can install whatever you want. With the free RAM you currently have.
Sure
bekks:  Not with 8MB
adaminsull, ram as in memory or hdd space?
OerHeks: Memory
ram <> hdd space? o,O
adaminsull: So pastebin the output of free -m please, to a pastebin.
adaminsull: is that to install or running in RAM?
adaminsull: I BET you have more than 8MB RAM free.
ActionParsnip: What
cnf, i read 'install something' so i just wondered
bekks: 9
Finally just got eve online working in ubuntu /cheer
so I have a choice of a propriety graphics driver, should I use it or not? which is likely to be the safest option?
is anyone familiar with ways to further customize a thinkpad trackpad (synaptics) in ubuntu?  In windows, there are a ton of options.  In linux, it's quite wonky.  I'm looking for features like palm detection and finger sensitivity.
cosmo: have you tried "sudo apt-get build-dep qbittorrent" ?
adaminsull: Is the 177Mb the used RAM for the process or is it the data amount to download and install mysql?
Linkandzelda: use it
hey, does anyone know how to make the wifi-experience on 12.10 on a macbook air less painful than what the "out of the box" setup offers..?
cosmo: that'll grab all the build dependencies for the packaged version
ActionParsnip: the tar.gz file
cosmo: that may not be exactly right but it'll be close enough for a start
adaminsull: Thats not the output of "free -m".
but i'll try deleting mysql for now
adaminsull: quite small.
adaminsull: Do not delete anything. Just STOP the mysql service.
tassmjau:  yeah, run osx on it
adaminsull:  deleting?
bekks: hhow
adaminsull: sudo service mysqld stop
tassmjau : I heard that there was a distro u could download ubuntu 12.04 that was taylored to mac harware (keyboards and wifi drivers etc)
MattJCliffe: oh, cool...
bekks: http://pastie.org/5178680
hello,is there a way to ubuntu 12.10 the clock add weather icon ..
trying to route requests on eth0 to use wlan1 as gateway
adaminsull:  what are you doing messing with something you don't understand, though?
adaminsull:  what are you even trying to accomplish?
cnf: Well I want to install phpbb
cant get this added to kernal routes, get a SIOCADDRT: No such process
But this has lost ram so apt-get is causing errors
is it possible to create a live DVD on a DVD-RW medium? would it be possible to edit it later to add updates?
adaminsull:  there is no such thing as "lost ram"
xangua, thanks
newbchessplayer: or you could use a usb
cnf: Then why is it used 300MB doing nothing?
i bet it's doing something
adaminsull: Provide the output of "ps -aux" please in a pastebin.
and what i can't do is swap out
because you have no swap
xangua, i dont want to use a usb because it's impossible to permanently insert malware into a dvd-rw
newbchessplayer:  dvd's are cheap, just make a new one
malware right...
bekks: http://pastie.org/5178690
newbchessplayer:  or just get a usb stick with a read only switch
what causes someones internet to lagg??
I wanna delete mysql for now anyway
cnf where are those??
nvm ill google
adaminsull: Do you need mysql and apache?
adaminsull If i was you id go for a fresh install your apt-get problems seam to come from corrupt point files
rephy222, laggy internet sometimes cleares afer restart browser.
bekks: Yes but not yet
MattJCliffe: Thats totally not the problem he is having ;)
tried that
adaminsull: Then stop those services.
How
rephy222: Depends on where it's lagging. Might be a crappy dns
I wanna delete them for now as they are useless
adaminsull:  i think you should not be using a VPS
cnf: I should
adaminsull:  unless you want to invest quite some time learning linux
bekks: How do I just delete then
thats what im thinking
i tried installing a dnsproxy and i think it messed something up
adaminsull: You dont want to delete them. You want to just stop them working.
bekks:
Ok
adaminsull:  no, you really shouldn't, it requires at least some knowledge to manage one. knowledge isn't aquired overnight
then how
cnf:  I'm normally ok
what happens when i do ufw enable? does my computer starts to block all connections?
adaminsull: service mysqld stop ...
adaminsull: using sudo.
adaminsull:  doesn't seem that way
any to fix it
any way to fix it
bekks: apt-get gives errors that point towards a corrupt /var/lib/dpkg/status file dont they ?
bekks: mysqld: unrecognized service
adaminsull: Then use mysql instead mysqld
WHAT THE HECK
That used all my ram up
adaminsull: Using ALL your RAM is totally OK.
mysql I mean
* cnf facepalms
adaminsull: Then stop that service.
I did
adaminsull: Now run free -m again.
used 163
Thanks to this cool channel.. :)
l8r
it's working now
bekks: How do I install anope services?
adaminsull: So you now have plenty of unused, wasted RAM. Congratulations. :)
adaminsull: Whats "anope?
irc services
Never heard of that.
ok
it seems like i connect for  a while then i lagg out and dissconnect
doesnt make sense
adaminsull: You should not install IRC services unless you are pretty comfortable with the OS you are running those services on.
bekks: It's ok as I know how it works when it's up
that seems to have done the trick gordonjcp, thanks
adaminsull: You have been warned. :)
lol
* cnf facepalms again
bekks: How do I run mysql so I can check something?
cnf: It's dead, Jim. Let him go. ;)
no kidding
adaminsull: I just told you how to stop it (the "stop" thing) - replace that with "start" to start the service again.
Why do you constantly dumb down on people?
ok
na it used it all up
bekks: Can I install phpbb without mysql?
i don't think you understand how ram works
or how a computer works
I do
adaminsull: I never used phpbb for the known security concerns of that software.
adaminsull: you have so far demonstrated that you really don't
ok
cnf: Because I don't know ubuntu
adaminsull: you don't know linux
cnf: true
bekks: Can I uninstall mysql and attemp a reinstall at a later date?
attempt
adaminsull: You dont have to DELETE it. STOP the service and you'll be fine.
* cnf face palms again
But I need it for phpbb
adaminsull: you don't even listen to what people tell you
How can I list installed packages on size?
cnf: Yes but I need it
adaminsull: So if you need it - why do you want to delete it?
bekks: because it's mucked up
adaminsull: you don't pay ANY attention, do you?
Then it can we reinstalled
cnf: YES
adaminsull: NO
adaminsull: It is NORMAL, not mocked up.
lol
adaminsull: mysql needs some RAM, believe it or not.
bekks: 300MB of it?
350*
adaminsull: Thats pretty low, to be honest.
depends on your settings
JEz
adaminsull: and YOUR SWAP!
adaminsull: I am running DB servers using about 240GB RAM. So 350M is not much.
What about it
gustav__, from small to bi >> dpkg-query -Wf '${Installed-Size}\t${Package}\n' | sort -n
c/bi/big
OerHeks: How can I get stuff _really_ deleted? Purge doesn't seem to do it. With apt-get I mean.
Or does it?
try apt-get remove
That's weaker.
340mb girt, and 40mb reserved for my mysql instance
I've just upgraded to ubuntu 12.04, and am using  Gnome Classic.  Seems that windows tend to pop around...  When I shift a browser window halfway to another workspace (so I can still see the desired info, and have full view another window), and then switch to another window, the first window pops back to be fully displayed on the one workspace.  I also have at least one window (kpatience) that tends to pop to the bottom of the workspac
well purge should get rid of everything
hi
virt*
gustav__, apt-get remove --purge ?
then just remove the dir thats left over
Is this the right channel to get help for php5-curl installing? THere doesnt seem to be a #php...
can I get some assistance ? I am trying to make sym link from /opt/Vuescan/vuescan to /usr/bin and it is ending up as an archive
apt-get autoremove might work also
Purge did it. Must've been looking at remove before.
hi
Hi, I just rebooted and my numeric keypad stopped working. Most of the help I find online mentions older versions of Ubuntu. I run Gnome Classic.
Is there a right channel to learn how to reverse engineering
More information:  I use 12.04. I upgraded recently, but it worked until a few hours ago. I did not notice the problem immediately, so I do not know what triggered it.
Is there a right channel to learn how to reverse engineering
fdijk, try ##re
guys, with the desktop cube where do i go in compiz config to set the keyboard bindings to move desktop lect/right/up/down?
[solved] I unchecked "mouse keys" in the universal access settings panel. Sorry for being too quick to ask here.
hello
hi Starstuff
hayta
haya*
Uhm... Hello.
I'm having kind of a problem here on Ubuntu 11.10.
nvm, got it
Krywk whats that
I wanna do some screencasting with video and audio. Also, no lags, and with desktop audio AND mic. I tried ffmpeg but it only records my mic.
Krywk: wassup?
ffmpeg seems really perfect, I get no lags at all. But the problem is I want to record both system audio and the mic.
Whoops, sorry.
Krywk: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/tag/kazam/
I tried it. I get lots of lags.
Krywk: xsplit ?
Tried it too. It also lags. :/
even with settings modified
I've tried recordmydesktop and its GTK, too. I doesn't work.
:/
xsplit seams good because u can really tune the quality
Huh.
Where do I get it? I forgot.
is it this one?
http://www.xsplit.com/get/
ah apparantly ur right its really choppy on linux
some virtualisation stuff
My only problem is recording system sound.
Here's my FFMPEG command:
ffmpeg -f alsa -i pulse -f x11grab -r 30 -s 1600x900 -i :0.0 -vcodec libx264 -preset ultrafast -threads 4 -y -qscale 0 vidcast.mkv
Krywk: you may need another command to capture sound then mesh the 2 with some video editting software. Or you can go to youtube where people record sound and video to see how they achieve their results
sounds silly but have u tried skype ?
I've tried the youtube one.
sudo rm -rf /usr/share/sounds
Uhh, Skype?
bah, mistab
disregard
u can tell it to use ur video driver as the webcam
nice try gordonjcp.
Krywk, can you specify an input device in ffmpeg?
Krywk: works better in the right window
there is a command line tool called arecord, I've never used it but I suppose it could be useful
MattJCliffe, I need just to record system sound. Video works fine.
arecord? Gonna check it out.
Hey Folks, I'm running an Ubuntu 12.04 server which shares files using Samba. I was able to access the files with out a problem before from Windows 7/8, but I ran into issues with my router. After setting my router back up, I can no longer access the shares. I am able to ping the machine, reach it's DLNA server, ssh into it, but I can't seem to access the samba shares.
would be nice if one prog did it all but yea there is a good walkthroiugh to recording with skype on the ubuntu wiki#
well that's just sound.
I'm pretty sure that if I play with the FFMPEG settings I can get them both.
Or with the pavucontrol settings.
remu: I would suppose it is a software issue on one end or the other.
remu: tried restarting the samba service?
remu: if you have SSH installed, you have an SFTP server too :)
Krywk: what are you trying to do?
Record mic and system sound with video on Ubuntu 11.10.
I've managed to record all but system sound.
gordonjcp, i hit another snag. ./configure worked, but when i input "make && make install" as per the install instructions i get a wall of text, and typing the program name doesn't start it.
I've tried restarting the samba service as well as the computer itself.
cosmo: well, does this "wall of text" include any error messages?
My wife just checked, and she can access the server from her Macbook, so looks like the issue is probably with my Windows 8 instance.
none that i can figure out, want me to copy+paste it to you?
cosmo: yeah, might as well
Well one thing's for sure, if you compile anything and run into any errors, it'll get interrupted, finishing with make[x] *** Error x
cosmo: pastebin please
ActionParsnip, I tried everything and the temp will not go down on the graphics card.
remu: have you tried mapping a drive to the share
how would i merge 2 ordereddicts recursively?
.update seems to work only at 1 depth
pastebin.com/DVYaNtSX
wops not here xD
Well uh
any suggestions?
mapping the drive doesnt work either...
remu: Could have something to do with WINS Name Registration and Resolution, maybe?
I have installed "kubuntu-desktop" to make KDE available on my Ubuntu OS, this have made all GTK+ applications mimic QT look, even when they are launched from Unity.
Okay
I managed to record system audio
How can I restore status quo?
but now my mic does not record
looks like it's trying to create a directory but can't, but i don't know
remu: Is your samba server on a static IP?
thelinux: still nothing. maybe I did it wrong but after the download I clicked on the file and it ran gedit for a long time but nothing seamed to happen afterwords
usr13, yes, it is on a static IP.
ok
usr13, I don't think it would have anything to do with the wins resolution, since I can't reach it with IP either.
for the shares that is.
remu: I'd try mapping a network drive, it can help
paulsomebody: gtk-chtheme
ActionParsnip, can't seem to map the drive either...
remu: Check samba logs?
gustav__: Thanks. Is there a way to restore splash screens back to what they were before I installed KDE?
* chaospsychex stumbles in...
edlik: Try to do fresh install.
ahoy!
I'm having an issue dual booting into windows due to this error from grub. "error: efi file not found". I used boot repair and this was the pastebin that it posted ->>>> http://paste.ubuntu.com/1326418/
usr13, Logs show: No protocol supported!
Does anyone have experience with EFI partitions?
remu: aaahhh.   tcpdump -v -s 255 -i ethX   maybe?
thelinux: thanks for your help. fresh install here I come:(
Okay
I figured out what's wrong
Medjai,  Have you perchance started a thread at the ubuntu forums?
Can KDE and Unity desktop co-exist peacefully without ruining each others settings under one user account?
no I haven't wilee-nilee
in pavucontrol, you only get to choose ONE input device
How do I choose both?
remu: have you configured any firewalling on the server?
ActionParsnip, no I haven't. Like I said this had been working fine in the past.
I'm very new to this and have never had to do this before so this is why things are so odd for me
Heeeeelp, please? D:
Medjai, I would there a number of daily users that can help, if you are not successful here. Daily weekdays anyway.
I'm really excited to make my own Playthroughs, but I can't do so with this difficulty
Krywk: what is the issue ?
Ok, thanks for the heads up wilee-nilee .
edlik: Will you be tomorrow here too? So I can see if that will work and help out till you solve your problem.
blackshirt, do you have experience with this?
in ffmpeg, I can record mic but not system audio, or vice-versa. This is a problem with pavucontrol.
How do I enable both?
I do seem to have grub efi installed
Krywk: have you tried 'alsa-mixer' ?
You know the 'tick' there is on pavucontrol on 'Input devices' under 'All input devices'?
Krywk: what about it...
Well, I can select only one of them.
Which is my problem.
I select one, the other gets de-selected.
alsa-mixer
I select the other, the one gets de-selected.
Uh-huh, what do I do in it?
gustav__: Thanks, this have solved my issue.
first 'man alsa-mixer'
then 'alsa-mixer'
paulsomebody: Good stuff.
I'm on alsa-mixer. I can't see 'Internal Audio' here.
The only important thing I see is Rear Mic.
man alsa-mixer
paulsomebody: Not sure about the splash screens. I've never installed KDE in ubuntu.
gustav__: Okay. There must be an app for that too, I'll look for it.
However, can KDE and Unity desktop co-exist peacefully without ruining each others settings under one user account?
paulsomebody: yes
so is there a replacement for the "compiz-fusion-plugins-extra" package? I cant seem to find the gears plugin in my compiz on 12.10
usr13, heres the relevent tcpdump I ran the command you asked for and piped it to grep draga. draga is my laptops name, and myst is the server name.
http://pastebin.com/WUkDcfqe
I understand that by settings GTK+ settings to normal, I have made all GTK+ apps look bad in KDE, and vice versa. Is this always tru?
GTK can be configured individually, as you've seen. I'd say it's messy at best.
paulsomebody, The splash screen is selected via " update-alternatives "
OerHeks: Okay, I'll give it a try.
paulsomebody: yeah - its hard to make each look good in the other environment :-/
kde problem ?
yeats: Okay, I get it. Is there no way to configure startup apps for each DE individually as well?
ofcourse there is
chaospsychex: Would be thrilled to hear about it.
chaospsychex, what am I supposed to look for in man alsamixer?
paulsomebody: yeah, but it's been a while since I lived in KDE so I don't remember specifics
yeats: Okay, no pressure.
Krywk: the purple elephant, obviously
I've seen the -V option with playback and capture. The only thing I'm seeing that's important is the Record and Record 1. Record was set to Line, my options are Line, Front Mic or Rear Mic.
Nothing that shows me we're ready to record system sound.
I'm installing Ubuntu 12.10 x64 onto my laptop and have 3 partitions: /dev/sda1 - ext4, /dev/sda2 - swapfs, /dev/sda3 - ntfs.  Ubuntu does not see any of my partitions.  However, if I use sudo fdisk /dev/sda, I can see all 3 partitions.  How come Ubuntu can't see my partitions from the installation GUI?
Also that wasn't funny. Try harder ;)
Krywk: lol
Okay, I got it. Splash screen manager is actually Synaptic.
My hat's off to usability experts at Canonical.
Okay, so what am I looking for in manpage, chaospsychex?
Krywk: you want to capture audio from your mic and from system sounds right ?
Yes.
what application are you attempting to do that with? making a tutorial video ?
Uh, I'm using ffmpeg. And no, it's for making playthroughs.
JimmyNeutron: have you fsck'fd the partitions?
Why is my reasons to use it relevant?
are*
I recently upgraded from kubuntu active 12.04 to 12.10 now on boot I get an otherwise blank screen with 'plymouthd: ply-terminal.c:611: ply_terminal_open: Assertion `terminal != ((void *)0)' failed. at the top
Krywk: playthroughs of what? snes game ?
ActionParsnip: Do I need to run a fsck on the partitions when they are newly created?  I just created the /dev/sda1 and /dev/sda2 using fdisk, wrote the changes, and reboot to restart the installation.
Oh yeah. How do I disable that stupid boot thing with dots that don't say anything?
I can ALT+Fx to other TTYs, but it will not accept a user name and password to log on
chaospsychex, Nope. Amnesia, Afraid of Monsters, Cry of Fear, Borderlands 1/2, Assassin's Creed, Killing Floor, GTA IV, Darksiders, Dead Space, Xonotic, Diablo III, Portal 2...
I can go on...
ActionParsnip: Let me try sudo fsck -y and see what happens.
Krywk: how are you going to record playthroughs of those on ubuntu? your feeding the video/audio into the ubuntu comp ?
I've already managed to record Afraid of Monsters, but just mic.
:/
I'm using WINE.
Krywk: what's your youtube channel called?
I haven't uploaded anything since I couldn't record the game's audio.
JimmyNeutron: you need to specify the partition to test
So it would be irrelevant to give you my channel name.
remu: On behalf of the server, "Flags [P.]" means data being "pushed" or sent.  Dono what to make of it other than the client is just not receiving or ....?
Krywk: i could be talking to one of the big boys though...
hmm, not sure
chaospsychex, nope. I'm not famous and will not be anytime soon. :P
ActionParsnip: Ok.  Let me try that and see if Ubuntu GUI sees my partitions.  I'll let you know shortly.
remu: Just guessing ... kind of like talking but not listening...?
Krywk: ok, do you have teamviewer ?
Yes, I do.
right right, and that seems to make sense with what the log is saying
that theres no supported protocl
Are you going to control my PC and see all my porn gallery? (?)
Krywk: what's the program called you are using to modify the mixer settings? you said pavucontrol ?
remu: Well, I don't know, I dont really have much experience troubleshooting samba, I'm mostly done it by trial and error methods, (as I do most projects :)
Yep.
lol, thanks for your help usr13, i appreciate it.
Krywk: one sec
kk
ActionParsnip: DIdn't work.  Hmmm..let me just do a clean wipe of the entire HDD and come back in for a 2nd installation and see if I can see my partitions.
remu: Via process of elemination, it appears to be a client side issue, (but I guess we knew that already).  Not sure what to look for next, (as I'm not much of a MS-Windows expert).
Thanks for helping out ActionParsnip!
... not that I'm an expert of any sort ...
usr13, i think it may have something to do with registry settings i may have changed to access the shares for work the other day. i think this router change/issue may just be coincidental
remu, NOTHING is coincidental. The devil is inside the router. (?)
lol

what is vps?
question... i have an existing directory (/var/lib/mythtv) i want to share as a samba directory... it's owned by Root (and cant be changed)
is it still possible to share this directory?
THANK you.
what permissions should it have so I can write to it
i have question, is it possible to run a vmware esxi host on ubuntu ?
My: vmware ESXi is it's own OS
so no
you can run VMware server
i want to do few testing
but VMWare ESXi is literally it's very own OS and is a host OS
.seen chaospsychex
My then  u need a dedicated machine
or use vmware server
just running it on vmware workstation
or virtualbox
or kvm
so u are running vmware esxi inside a virtual machine?
vmware server is outdated and unsupported - for years now.
yep
bekks yes i know
My that might be your only way but you're gonna have performance issues
Hello
i have enough resource on my machine
bekks: bit of a sweeping statement
My: it's not about your host so much as it is about the capabilities of vmware workstation and other vm products
bekks: What are you trying to accomplish?
uhm
ActionParsnip: Well, the vmware support for "vmware server" was dropped in July 2011.
esx without vg-x ...
My: I would personally use KVM if that's an option for you - it's free so if it's not acceptable, you're not out any money
paulsomebody: Me? Nothing :) I was just commenting on johnjacobjingerh :)
you MIGHT be ok, but you'll see better performance with a dedicated host
may? o,O
ESX needs bare metal
i still use vmware server
cnf: Which is not try - you can even virtualize an ESX host :)
*true
i am gonna be changing to ESXi tho
bekks: you can do a lot of things
bekks: doesn't mean it's a good idea in any shape or form
cnf: You it doesnt need bare metal, while it is designed to run on bare metal :)
yeats: kvm support ESXI ?
My: no idea, sorry
bekks: oh yeah, just checked
ubuntu 11.04 need to recover passwrd, cant access recovery mody, tried restart several times holding shift and then trying exit, what else ? no disk, can i make one ?
bkks: Uhhm, okay.
my graphics for kubuntu 12.10 look terrible can someone help me figureout what video driver I am running an help me change it to either the open-source radeon or flgrx
tbruff13: what video chip do you use please?
johnjacobjingerh : i wanna run esxi 5, i hope vmware server does not supports it
what?
Anyway, who was the person experiencing problems with VMware? I have gotten into that sick area recently, so I am sympathetic to your plight and might be able to help.
vmware server and ESXi are two different things
@bansearch Renski
ActionParsnip, ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3200 Graphics
VMware ESXi is a bare bone OS
and is designed to be run as the host with no other OS
I know it sucks but it worked well enough in 12.04
ESXi is a level 1 hypervisor.
yes in technical terms what bekks says
vmware server requires a host OS to run
such as ubuntu
*was
it's dead now
what?
i didnt say is for vmware server
i just said it requires
bah had focus on wrong window don't mind me
i see
hmmm
My: you can run vmware esxi on virtualbox or vmware workstation or whatever virtualizing product you want to use
password recovery ?
ActionParsnip, can you give me the command to so that the terminal will output what driver is currently in use
what do you even want to accomplish?
but you wont see the same performance as you would on a dedicated host
When I try to restart apache, it says that it can not reliably determine the server's domain name
lstpswrd: How did you get there?
tbruff13: http://ubuntuxtreme.com/howto/how-to-fix-your-amd-graphics-in-ubuntu-12-10/   use the Makarewicz PPA
cnf: My wants to test VMware esxi
johnjacobjingerh: how about he answer?
what?
lstpswrd: And, most importantly, is your partition encrypted?
johnjacobjingerh: it's actually not that bad with VT enabled but nested vms are pretty slow...
AndreSM: exactly which means testing it wont be useful for him
johnjacobjingerh: to do some lab work it's good enough
tbruff13: seems to affect 2xxx to 4xxx inclusive
if he wants a good test he should use dedicated hardware... unless he's just learning how to set it up
lstpswrd: If not, here is an excellent guide. http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/linux/reset-your-forgotten-ubuntu-password-in-2-minutes-or-less/
ActionParsnip, thanks
When I try to restart apache, it says that it can not reliably determine the server's domain name
but not if he is trying to test it's performance
lstpswrd: If it is encrypted, you are screwed.
Jisawesome2, that's normakl
normal*
oh, it is?
lstpswrd: Unless, of course you have wrote down or stored somewhere the passphrase.
it's cuz you probably dont have a FQDNS
lstpswrd: Which you should do.
not sure if encrypted, helping a friend who forgot psswrd been long time since using system
johnjacobjingerh: i am planning to set ahome lab for studying
I have no idea what that is
(fully qualified domain name)... you access the PC by either computer name or IP i assume Jisawesome2
i will try whatever is offered though, thank you
1kjgkjggkj
My: it works fine if guest performance is not an issue
ActionParsnip, will this ppa make any other system updates unstable and how will i stop the system from trying to update x in the future
My: a lab is most likely about configuration, etc and in that scenario it's good enough inside VMware workstation
My: but do you want  the most out of the Guest performance
ip, you are correct
cDoes it still update?
yea what AndresSM said
lstpswrd, what OS?
tbruff13: should be fine, its a known issue
lstpswrd, is he using Ubuntu?
ActionParsnip, bottom line my laptop is a pos and i need a new one
but alas no money
he is using ubuntu yes
lstpswrd: If he does not have an idea, then it is probably not encypted.
lstpswrd, i cant exactly remember how do it from the CD, but you can do it from single-user mode
paulsomebody, that's not true
Is there any program that reproduces what you're speaking on your phone?
microphone*
its not allowing me to access the recovery after the grub screen, im not even seeing grub screen
Dragon dictation
 johnjacobjingerh: my hardwae is of i5 cpu & 8gb ddr3 ram, it good enough to run 2 esxi host of 2 gb ram and vcenter server of 1gb ram, all the vm runs with 2 vcpu :)
I mean, live.
my: 2 ESX hosts?
My: but you're missing the fact that you have an overhead
My: why?
it worked well with windows7 on vmware workstation
well then you got your answer :-P
johnjacobjingerh: lstpswrd: It is my feeling that people who have no idea are usually too lazy to enter password every time they login.
what?
how does that mean his drive is encrypted?
it most likely isnt encrypted
unless he encrypted it
johnjacobjingerh: That WAS the point.
cnf: 2 esxi for making a HA & DRS cluster
o,O
personally i use a set of passwords that i know well. i have the instructions on how to reset the password but i cant get into the recovery screen
* cnf facepalms
oh i missed what you were saying paulsomebody
cnf: it's a basic lab not huge
My: you should be fine
lstpswrd, is ubuntu the ONLY os on that machine?
i have held the escape key during reboot, i tried the shift key, i tried from restart mode and from total shutdown mode
yes it it, i asked him that
AndresSM: yep let me check it out :)
thank you all
hmmm
shift should do it
Uh, hello?
re you holding it down from the begining
I need a program that reproduces what you're saying, live.
sorry everyone, paul should i pm in seperate window about this if your willing to help
i tried shift
Kryk: Audacity
holding from beginning, then tapping it
Yeah, go ahead and PM me.
tried both shift keys
Audacity reproduces on-the-fly?
hmmmm....
Also you can just type in Kry and press Tab.
Krywk, yes if you enable the monitor
it will play back as you're speaking
Well, that didn't work.
what do u mean it didnt work?
are u sure your mic works then?
I mean, I want to record system audio AND mic audio.
But it just plainly doesn't detect my mic.
I have to enable it.
But that will disable system audio recording.
I want both.
:/
Whoops. :/
krywk can u add a secnd track in audacity and bond it to the microphone in put
input*
second*
I think, yea
then perhaps that will work
it can record two tracks at once
i've never recorded system sound with audacity
It doesn't detect audio
Wait
is it possible to use 2 docks on 12.10 or to completly disable the unity dock and use a different dock?
someone expert in loop device? I need to shrink to min size a file with ext3 file system inside; alnerady mounted file as loop, used resize2fs -M, but I don't know how to shrink container file...
It only lets me record a few miliseconds.
then it stops.
:/
is optional
johnjacobjingerh
yes?
i dunno why it doesnt work Krywk
sounds like an issue with audacity
how to I set file limites to users on ubuntu server
Grimdin: its in a default install though
I only want the users to access there home dir, and thats it.
myersg: look into quotas
can you help me do that?
myersg: oh, then just chmod the home folder to a-rwx   and you are golden
can you give an example?
myersg: this means that only the user whom owns the folder can access the data
Hello sexy boys
myersg: they will need read access and sometimes execute access to the rest of the OS so that it can use apps
so how do I do it?
myersg: sudo chmod -R o-rwx /home/username
so what will that do?
now it can't add files to the users file?
I think it works now, thank you.
myersg: only the owner of the folder (and root, and users whom can use sudo) will have access to the folder in any way, they will not even be able to access the folder to see the files themselves
heyh, has anybody gotten the error "Secure boot not enabled" when trying to boot from 12.10 on a newer i5 laptop?  Mine specifically is the acer travel mate

I know the people that will use it.. trust me, they will mess it up if I don't block them from files. I.E, keep them in there box.
how can I make it that a user cant use sudo?
don't add the user to wheel group, maybe?
Hi guys
hi =)
myersg: don't add them to the sudo group, or admin
how can I set the transparency of the window decorations in 12.10?
how do I remove them from it?
myersg, who's in your wheel group?
idk
type groups in terminal
myersg: http://askubuntu.com/questions/80115/how-to-remove-a-user-from-a-group
it says root
sorry, I was confused, follow ActionParsnip's link
myersg: then you need to run:  groups name
i keep loosing my usb kyb and mouse and have to hard reset or ssh in and restart to get them to work again
any ideas?

ActionParsnip:  PCI (sysfs)
i know i have an ati raedeon
Have a system about 150km away, upgraded from 12.04 -> 12.10.  Was running Cinnamon before and doing fine.  Now when it boots to the lightdm login screen it comes up but you cannot interact, no clicks work.  ctrl-alt-Fn works and you can fire up startx with it, but the normal desktop isn't there (likely because of the lack of the cinnamon wm)
Anyhow, how can I try install/reinstall the lightdm situation so it actually works and lets me login normally?
JohnnyBoy: wait, it will say. Your PCI bus is slow
how do i restart nautilus?

JohnnyBoy: http://www.unixmen.com/ubuntu-12-10-and-amd-catalyst-problem-solved/
Hello, I'm installing 12.10, I created partitions and then installed, and everything seems to install fine, until the installer tries to install grub. I get 'Sorry, an error occurred and it was not possible to install the bootloader at the specified location" so I opened up a terminal and try sudo grub-install /dev/mapper/isw_dcibhdjcae_raid2tb and I get "Path `/boot/grub' is not readable by GRUB on boot. Installation is impossible.
Aborting." I have two 1tb drives setup with fakeraid and am installing alongside windows. not sure where to go from here.
draugon: first step is to checksum your cd
 might just quit
thank you ActionParsnip that was fast
jrib: k, I'll let you know
JohnnyBoy: i've seen the issue a lot in here so I know what to search for
draugon: if you're confident it's just grub failing to install for whatever reason, you need to pass --boot-directory to grub-install (since /boot/grub is for the live cd)
jrib: md5sum matches the cd, and I verified the cd when I burned it.
ActionParsnip: wont doing all this ruin future upgrade to fglrx and xorg
jrib: md5sum matches the cd IMAGE I mean
jrib: ah, ok, so I mount the drive and pass the --boot-directory to the mounted location... ok. Thanks I'll let you know how it goes. :)
draugon: also see notes here about raid: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QuantalQuetzal/ReleaseNotes/UbuntuDesktop
ActionParsnip: ima reboot and see how things go thanks
Can anyone at least tell me what the windows popping about "feature" is called?
jrib: aha, install worked after I mounted and passed the --boot-directory flag to grub-install. gonna see if it boots up. If it does I probably won't be back. Thanks a ton for your help :)
draugon: hope I don't see you then :)
cornell: what are you referring to (i'm lacking backlog)?
tomreyn:  i don't see any other backlogs relating to this, btw.  just to let you know.
thanks
tomreyn: I've upgraded from 10 to 12.04 and was sorely unhappy with Unity and am using Gnome Classic.  Windows tend to pop around.  When I shift a window partly onto another workspace and click on something else, the window pops back.  Some applications, the window pops down to the bottom of the screen for no apparent reason.  And if I drag a window to close to the top, it's resized to full height, top to bottom (and it's a bit hard to
(2 hours 12 minutes ago, I'd mentioned the same stuff)
cornell: this was cut iff behind: (and it's a bit hard t
anyone got experieince reading and browsing time machine backups?
tomreyn: "tomreyn: cornell: this was cut iff behind: (and it's a bit hard t" ?
cornell: i've never tried gnome classic on 12.04, though, so chances are i won't be able to help other than suggesting you file bug reports.
cornell: yes that's what i just said to you
I'd like to be able to describe it more tersely, perhaps refer to it by name.
jrib: I need to leave, but if draugon comes back saying that they only got a grub prompt at boot, can you explain to them that they need to pass the path to the /boot/ directory to grub-install's --boot-directory argument (eg if they mounted their root filesystem at /mnt/ it should be --boot-directory=/mnt/boot/ not just --boot-directory=/mnt/).
Yes, tomreyn, and "this was cut iff behind: (and it's a bit hard t" makes no sense to me.
Jordan_U: will do
jrib: Thanks.
Was it truncated, or ... something?
cornell: yes, what you wrote when quoting yourself from earlier today was truncated
jrib: They may also need to chroot in and run update-grub if the installer didn't create a grub.cfg before it failed.
Well, I didn't quote myself, just typed again.
cornell: okay, but this is still incomplete then:  "And if I drag a window to close to the top, it's resized to full height, top to bottom (and it's a bit hard t"
And I'm guessing that it's not a bug but someone's idea of a "feature".  Especially the bit about resizing the window.
Ah...  If I drag a window to close to the top, it's resized to full height, top to bottom (and it's a bit hard to undo).
cornell: i guess your best bet is to run ubuntu-bug on the package you suspect may be buggy, then add a descrition of the problem first, then re-read what you wrote for the long description and summarise it as the bug reports' title
Very similar to a new feature in Windows 7.  The assumption that if you have the top of a window at the top of the screen, you must also want the bottom at the bottom.
The package woud be ... gnome-shell ?
Pardon me while I figure out about ubuntu-bug.
cornell: actually now your description is complete it sounds more like you'Re running into a design choice you don't like. this may not make sense to report as a bug then,
cornell: if you want to report a bug with gnome-shell run:  ubuntu-bug gnome-shell
I'm hoping it's a "design choice" that I can unchoose ;-)
i wouldn't know. you can try with a wishlist bug
cornell: disable the grid plugin and the 'aero snap' feature will turn off, is that what you are having issue with?
mmm... aero snap... sounds like that could be it, ActionParsnip.  How to disable the grid plugin?
cornell: run:   ccsm   and disable it
I know when ubuntu is installed clean-ubiquity runs and saves a copy of the MBR, where is that saved?
Having a good time tonight... "The program 'ccsm' is currently not installed."  It also seems to be a part of compiz.  Is compiz part of 12.04, or gnome-shell?  I don't recall installing it.
I have a filesystem in my /etc/fstab with the option "users", but a user can no longer mount it, it requires root
cornell: it needs installing but you can disable the feature there. I hate it
why is that?
ja-s: isn't the option: user    not users
yes singular
ja-s: http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html
ja-s: so that's why ;)
but IIRC there is some file system which has 'users' (pl.) as a filesystem specific option
mount(8) The non-superuser mounts. "Only the user  that  mounted  a filesystem  can unmount it again.  If any user should be able to unmount, then use users instead of user in the fstab line."
why is it that when i use Youtube in ubuntu the mouse doesnt disappear but in my windows machine it does
something to do with the flash player?
does everyone here use Unity with the launcher on the left? or are you using some other setup?
In ccsm, I filtered for "grid plugin", no hit.  Filtered for "grid" and got one hit, "Grid" oddly enough.  The alternate text says "Warp and resize windows to fit an imaginary grid".
That certainly sounds like it, right?
Linkandzelda, i hate unity... i just use classic gnome
I second that johnjacobjinger
if I'm going to be installing Ubuntu alongside of Windows, does the installer disk still include the option to resize the Windows partitoiin?
partition*
or should i resize it manually within windows
johnjacobjinger: is that so, i like the dash thing on Unity quite a bit...
PatrickC|Cleanin, i think it's dynamic
johnjacobjinger: so i should be able to just use the installation media (live DVD) to do it?
Linkandzelda, well it gets in the way of mythtv and i use mythtv
umm no PatrickC|Cleanin ...
it doesnt partition it
it just creates a folder on your windows drive called ubuntu
and somehow it boots from that
Na, i don't want to do that.
That's WUBI :)
it's like a viertual HardDrive
oh
i see
I want to do a true dualboot
yes u can resize if you use the installation DVD (has gparted on the disk)
PatrickC|Cleanin: Yes, just run the installer and let it resize the Windows partition for you.
u can do it from the live cd
thanks Jordan_U
PatrickC|Cleanin: You're welcome.
does gparted support resizing ntfs partitions then?
mmm, in Window Management, there's a "Snapping Windows", tip says "Enables windows edges resistance".  I wonder what "edges resistance" is.
johnjacobjinger: is it possible to run 2 docks at the same time?
that's ntfs of all versions of windows
tomreyn, yes
i meant to say file systems, not partitions
tomreyn,  but always backup first
Linkandzelda, beats me like i said I dont use unity
ja-s: all ok now?
i only use classic
johnjacobjinger: hmm ok then
tomreyn: you can resize ntfs in gparted, if you use Win7 I'd do it in WIn7
Linkandzelda, what you trying to do?
i hate windows disk management
ActionParsnip: i don't use windows, i was wondering whether it's possible because someone lelse wanted to know.
annoying
Hey, quick question! I want to join an ubuntu desktop client to an Active directory server, should i go the Likewise-open route or is there a better way of going about it (samba + winbind?)
this someone else was PatrickC|Cleanin
bandit-led: not sure, i just wanted initially to move the unity dock to the bottom... but im wondering if that isnt possible if i can use 2 docks, like have AWN installed as well, if that makes sense lol
tomreyn: gotcha
i use winbind for that iamzim
with samba
Linkandzelda,  you might want to try gnome classic for what you are talking about
i've never heard of likewise
bandit-led: is it better than gnome 3.6?
it is gnome 3.6
it just doesnt have unity
unity is annoying as hell imo
its like old gnome
johnjacobjinger: ok cool, so does it allow for gui login aswell?
i use only gnome-classic so its what i like
well on live systems i use unity but thats not often
hi
johnjacobjinger: it seems to be a much simpler way of joining an domain
iamzim: yes....
thats the point
a domain*
bandit-led: i see, might have to look into trying that out
johnjacobjinger: righto, just checking ;)
Linkandzelda, http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2012/03/gnome-classic-in-ubuntu-12-04-its-like-nothing-ever-changed
Predictability: thanks :p
you can install it and choose what window manager you want on login
Linkandzelda: just install gnome-panel log off and log in to the new session
your welcome :D
try them all and pick the one you want
is this a reddit cat?
chat*
but a cat is fine
Predictability, ummm no.. this is a ubuntu support channel
its kinda ridiculous how many dependencies there are just for a simple clock
oh, sorry.  i came here because /r/ubuntu gave a link, i thought this was a reddit chat
sorry!
nps
Predictability, if you dont have a ubuntu related question or if you arent here to offer ubuntu support then this isnt where you want to be
pred left above your statement johnjacobjinger
oh haha
missed that completely
hey does anyone know how to make VLC play my dvds?
net_runner007, Yes...
thanks yall
click the "media" menu item and click open disc
rephy222: what clock are you getting?
or4n: vlc dvd://
the basic one that comes with ubuntu
umm sorry or4n, i hit a nasty tab expansion bug in xchat there
autoremove removed it for some reason
rephy222: well it is an indicator, so you'll need all the indicator goodies
bandit-led: I'm worried that something might mess up if i switch lol
ic
Linkandzelda, no u wont mess it up
i reinstalled it but i dont c it
Linkandzelda, u can always go back by selecting it in the login menu
I tried to boot into ubuntu, but it took me to this: BusyBox v1.18.5 (Ubuntu 1:1.18.5) built in shell ash Enter 'help for a list of built0in commands
it doesnt remove unity just adds gnome classic to the session menu
hmm
been using it since gnome 3 came out with no problems
i am using it right now as a matter of fact
what do I do?
for some reason i cant get it to show up in the menu bar
I'm troubleshooting an ubuntu 10.04.3 LTS box, it's got the whole thin client thing going on, has four extra screens attached.
When it reboots, it doesn't get on the network. If I log into one of the terminals, su to this admin account they setup (has sudo privs) and do "sudo dhclient eth2", it gets right on the network and everything works fine.
Now, I could just write out the instructions for the linux-illiterate folks to do this when I'm not here, but I'd rather fix the problem... any ideas?
myersg: that's usually because your root file system (the one which should get mounted to / ) could not be mounted. this can happen for various reasons, here's what comes to mind: an ubuntu installation failed/is incomplete, the file system is broken, your raid is out of synch.
now so it's not getting IP at startup?
puff: err... i assume it's  not getting an ip on startup?
johnjacobjinger: Yes, that's what appears to be the case.
This happends every time i try to install ubuntu or anyother linux os on the computer
so is the residual config stuff supposed to be installed
oh wait, This harddrive came out of another computer with ubuntu working fine, I put it on this computer and it does it still...
I know the installation is fine
puff: does your network config have this for eth2:   auto eth2
iface eth2 inet dhcp
johnjacobjinger: Doesn't have anyhting for eth2.
then that might be the issue
johnjacobjinger: /etc/network/interfaces contains "auto lo" and "iface lo inet loopback"
myersg: so its failing since you added this drive?
then u have to create one for eth2
Weird, supposedly this was all working and the problem just started this morning.
Question: I replaced a raid array in windows with a 3tb seagate hard drive, since Ubuntu was not playing well with the software raid. Normally Ubuntu would see an NTFS partition fine, but when I copied the data over to the new 3tb drive in windows, I had to initialize the drive as GPT, instead of MBR. As a result, Ubuntu fails to see a 3tb (more like 2.7tb) NTFS partition, it shows as unallocated. Is there any trick to getting
perhaps it changed?
...its not the harddrive, I took it out of another computer and it worked fine before, I was testing to see if it was the hard drive it is not
johnjacobjinger: Is there anywhere else to look, other than /etc/network/interfaces?>
no
anytime I try to install linux on the computer it does this..no mater what
thats where it would be
johnjacobjinger: Hm, well, nothing /etc/network has a recent modificaiton date. However, dmesg has some interesting bits. Hangon.
wallythemoose: The problem is that it's using GPT (Ubuntu supports GPT just fine) the problem is that the partition table is invalid.
wallythemoose: Please pastebin the output of "sudo parted -l".
puff try to put the eth2 config in there just to see if it works
if it doesnt u can always remove it
could the graphics do this, I install ubuntu server and it works fine on the computer
johnjacobjinger: http://pastebin.com/b6P3EwEP
johnjacobjinger: I don't get what's up with that renaming eth0 to eth2...
johnjacobjinger: Cool, will try adding an eth2 config line.
puff: look in /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules
tell me what the mac address is for eth2
and eth0
is there a way I can enable writing to hfs+ drives?
Jordan_U: pastebin.com/P6P6QQgr
Linkandzelda: Only by disabling journaling on the filesystem.
is eth0 the MAC for ETH2?
Jordan_U: I have a HFS+ drive, how can I do that? without losing data as well? xD
johnjacobjinger: Checking.
hi
johnjacobjinger: No, they have different ATTR{address} values.
im having some troubles with my laptop, I'm getting permission denied errors when I start up
wallythemoose: Note there the error "Error: Can't have a partition outside the disk!" which means that one of your disks has an entry in the partition table saying that a partition ends past the actual end of the disk.
johnjacobjinger: http://pastebin.com/UFgx6373
Jordan_U: Is it possible that windows did not create the partition table correctly and I should do it from gparted instead?
wallythemoose: I've been seeing a lot of those recently, but I have no idea what tool is doing such a silly thing. Do you have any idea how your partition table might have become invalid in this way? Did you use any odd partitioning tools?
Is there anything I can set in ubuntu which will force my cpu to work slower so it doesn't heat up as much?
Jordan_U: I used windows 7 built in partition manager
I want to keep the temprature down.
It needed GPT for anything over 2tb
whenever i try to turn on my laptop, i get these error messages: http://pastebin.com/jAQ4SK93
can anyone help?
can anyone help?
wallythemoose: Very odd and surprising then. The utility "fixparts" should fix your partition table for you: http://www.rodsbooks.com/fixparts/
is there any way to fix this without reinstalling?
Jordan_U: thanks, I will try that.
wallythemoose: You're welcome.
barcode: try a lighter desktop like LXDE :)
sorry about that
puff try to add what i said to the network config file
and restart networking
ActionParsnip: okay.
then see if it works
just out of curiosity
johnjacobjinger: Okay, cool.
johnjacobjinger: Didn't fix it.
puff i dunno then :-(
sorry
both of those files look right
johnjacobjinger: Okay... weird.
puff is this a PXE server?
johnjacobjinger: hm, is there any way I can schedule a cron job to run dhclient?
PXE?
then prob not
i thought u said  it was a thin client
or u were using thin clients
yes there prob is a way to use cronjob to run dhclient
ActionParsnip: what should I do after installing gnome-panel?
also puff try to determine if eth2 is indeed the correct mac address and it's not attaching to a different card
Well, I have four ACER lcd screens that apepar to be self-contained (presumably lightweight) PCs.
puff do they have OSes installed on each? or do they boot from a server?
Well, when I reboot the server they all turn off and when it comes back on, they all turn back on and present a login screen.
Linkandzelda: log off then select the new session from the ubuntu logo near your usernae
has java jre been removed from the partner repo?
blendedbychris: yes but there is a PPA if you want Oracle Java....
ActionParsnip: okay no problem. i was just making sure i wasn't using a ppa if it was in partner
johnjacobjinger: I'm not sure I get the question about eth2... dhclient is getting a connection for eth2.
blendedbychris: http://www.webupd8.org/2012/01/install-oracle-java-jdk-7-in-ubuntu-via.html
yea but after it renames
puff i want to make sure the MAC address in that rules file is correct
Hm, hang on a sec.
or if eth0 has the MAC for eth 2 instead of what it should be
i dunno if you can tell tho
without looking at your network switch or something
I get unknown command linux16 when attempting to run memtestx86 from grub.
What's that all about?
it doesnt know the command
thats what it's about
Well, I was in the midst of investigating ccsm window management.  Found a site that suggested, instead of unchecking grid, going into it and setting the auto resize actions to None.  I was in the midst of that when things froze.  Couldn't get any response.  Tried ctl-alt-delete, ctl-prtscn-k and super-.... something.  Anyway nothing appeared to happen, so I stepped away.
How to fix?
thats about as far as my expertise goes memetic
sorry
Yeah, well, my question was more a thinly veiled rant about how that happens in the first place so we're both good, john.
brb Puff
smokey smokey cancer
When I returned, it was shutting down.  It had stopped to ask if I wanted to save a document.  I did and allowed it to continue... Then I got a blank monitor and a lot of hard drive activity.  Now, a blank monitor and the computer is on, and apparently not doing anything.
(I'm now on my laptop, to chat)
memetic: linux16 is only available on x86 systems... you're not by chance trying that on 64 bit are you?
Yes, I sure am!
ActionParsnip: this looks like backtrack 5 now lol
That would be it. I guess like 16 bit works on 32, but not 64
but also similar to how it looked with unity, just without the dock
Ah, finally got a response, it came up to the logon page
So, how would I fix that problem on my system, wallythemoose?  If I wanted to just run memtest from grub, instead of from cd or whatever.
memetic: Do you have 32 bit ubuntu installed instead of 64 by chance?
I don't.
Linkandzelda: its one way to get the old gnome look, there are 3rd party (unsupported) forks of Gnome2 in the form of Mate or Cinammon
ActionParsnip: I see, first thing I noticed is my sound doesnt work.. lol
johnjacobjinger: well, the 70-persistent-net-rules has three different MAC address values for eth0, eth1, eth2.
hmm.. well for some reason grub has the wrong memtest stuff in there... that's as far as I can tell. Maybe there is a way to install memtest for 64 buit or a different version of memtest
johnjacobjinger: Hm, I just noticed that the line I appended to /etc/network/interfaces didn't have a newline at the end. Could that have caused problems?
memetic: you could try running update-grub but I don't know if that would correct the problem if something else is going on
ack, trying to install 12.04 64 bit alt and its dying at package install because "xserver-xorg-video-all: depends: xserver-xorg-video-ati but it is not isntallable       depends: xserver-xorg-video-nouveau but it is not installable"... anyone have any ideas how to resolve?
memetic, in your case, you should run memtest from cd, since your memtest86 tru grub is not working.
teff: What type of install are you doing?
johnjacobjinger: Nope, added the newline and rebooted, same problem.
OerHeks: I don't like having broken options.
Jordan_U: It turns out that fixparts is only for MBR disks, it says to use parted or GPT fdisk on it.
Most people are on 64bit systems.
usr13, sorry, desktop install, lvm partition with root and home lv's, nvidia gpu
Seems like a seriously fucked approach in 12.04 to offer people memtest when it doesn't work.
I'll try update-grub and then just run from cd.
Thanks guys.
teff: Installing from CDROM?  Or...?
memetic, and do a filecheck too
wallythemoose: Then use "gdisk" (which is by the same developer as fixparts).
usr13, heh, sorry its 2:44 in the morning :p its from usb created with universal usb installer on windows
Jordan_U: Thanks, I just realized that. Doh'

12.04 on old acer laptop... just installed... wifi says 'firmware missing' help
'device not ready'
bkfitz: What does lspci say about your wifi card?
usr13, thanks, no idea how i didnt clock that myself
np
usr13: it's actually still installing so I'll try that when it's done, but i had the same problem with 10.04
bkfitz: sudo apt-get update;sudo apt-get upgrade
i am getting continuous lockups where i have to ssh in and restart
usr13: but with no wifi... it won't be able to upgrade... no cat5 to plug into
using my phone 3g
at the in-laws reinstalling their laptop :)
bkfitz: Oh, well, that's gonna make it kinda tough.
usr13: yeah... i have a usb wifi at the office, but it'll be a hassle
... but tell us what the wifi chip is and we'll see what we can do.  Ctrl-Alt-F6
Well, the machine's back up, seems to be better.  Though, when I drag a window to the side, it doesn't show up on the next workspace, it just disappears.  But, I can still use the right-click/move to workspace on right.
usr13: can i download the upgrades as debs?
am i going to be able to get away with remounting the usb install media read write from the isntall enviroment?
Well, this evening's problem is solved... thanks for your help tomreyn and ActionParsnip
bkfitz: Why don't you tell us what lspci says about the wifi chip and we'll go from there?  Ctrl-Alt-F6
usr13: 10-4... it just finished rebooting now
bkfitz: Oh, ok.
If I'm going to use Gnome Classic, is there any reason to use 12.10 over 12.04?
bkfitz: First, see what iwconfig says.
Linkandzelda: I doubt it.
Linkandzelda, not sure 12.10 still has 'classic'
its ok, apparently yes :)
OerHeks: thanks to ActionParsnip It does, and i can confirm as i installed gnome-panel :)
usr13: it says IEEE 802.11bg ESSID:off/any Mode:Managed Access Point: Not Associated....
bkfitz: Looks like it's working.
lol
niggerds
usr13: I agree... maybe 12.04 fixed it... hang on...
niggers
anyone know how to resolve this "invoke-rc.d: initscript glusterfs-server, action "start" failed."
is it running the init script?
The script you are attempting to invoke has been converted to an Upstart
job, but --configure is not supported for Upstart jobs.
maybe that' what's blowing it up?
usr13: it seems to be working... but it isn't seeing my phone access point
usr13: not listed in wireless dropdown
bkfitz: Try configuring it manually.
johnjacobjinger: Thanks, g'night!
usr13: out my league... can you help
usr13: oh you mean the access point.. ok i'll try
usr13: thought you meant scan for access points manually
bkfitz: sudo iwconfig wlan0 essid my-phone  #where wlan0 is the wifi, and my-phone is the essid of your phone.
bkfitz: or, yes;  sudo iwlist scan
bkfitz:  sudo iwlist wlan0 scan
Hey all, quick and simple questions. In synaptic you can choose a specific package to upgrade. By commandline I've only done apt-get upgrade (which updates everything). Is there a way to update only ONE package from CLI?
my neighbor last night threatened to call the cops on me for using linux
bkfitz: Once you have essid set;   sudo dhclient wlan0
*question rather ;)
I've used update-rc.d to remove links to init scripts but the daemons seem to still start and are present in ps aux
johnjacobjinger: Were you hacking into his WiFi?
is there anything I might be missing?
* Gaming4JC DuckDuckGoes while waiting
usr13 he said the only ppl who use it are hackers so i must be up to no good basically
johnjacobjinger: he could be testing his own wifi? o_O
johnjacobjinger: Linux users are hackers.
usr13: iwlist scan gave me "Interface doesn't support scanning : Network is down"
usr13: now now, no need for stereotypes... xD
usr13: now dropdown says (firmware missing) device not ready under Wireless Networks
johnjacobjinger: tell him that hackers do work for the government
Gaming4JC: It's true.  But there IS a difference between hackers and malicious hackers.
Hacking merely means coding
Hacking means modifying
ekaj: correct
Hi
Coding is encompassed in that
bkfitz: install the firmware cutter package listed on the broadcom wifi guide
Does anyone know of a good ssh FTP client?
true, cracking is evil, hacking is not
:)
Malicous hackers should be called 'cracking'
*crackers
cuddylier: sftp
*malicious
ekaj: Yea, cracker is short for malicious hacker
is there an alternate way daemons would start besides rc?
Usr13 what would be the command to install that.
ActionParsnip: thx for the suggestion... I just googled it and got this link: http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/b43 correct?
Tried googling
That's  probably why the mix up came in the first place, because people were too lazy to add malicous to hacker
*the media
Aha, I love the man-pages. apt-get INSTALL will upgrade OR install new packages, whereas apt-get upgrade updates ALL. http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/oneiric/en/man8/apt-get.8.html
therefore I will be using install
ty :)
bkfitz: yes, there is a firmware cutter package there which will get the files you need from your firmware in your system and make what is needed
Jordan_U: So I decided to bite the bullet and just repartition the drive and copy back all of the data, but it turns out that Ubuntu doesn't like Window's GPT partition table, and Window's doesn't like Ubuntu's (or should I say GParted) GPT partition table. Drats!
* Gaming4JC enjoys asking and answering his own questions... :P
ActionParsnip: I don't have lan connection... so I need to download on this laptop and transfer to new one I'm installing... so i really need a deb
bkfitz: check out http://packages.ubuntu.com    is the system a laptop?
Anyone know the command to install the sftp client?
ActionParsnip: yes... old acer
bkfitz: then move it to the router and use a wired connection, waaay easier
cuddylier: sudo apt-get install openssh-client
Thanks a lot usr13
ActionParsnip: no router :) at the in laws installing 12.04 on their old laptop with tethered galaxy s3 on 3g
cuddylier: but i assume you want a graphical interface instead. you could try filezilla then.
ActionParsnip: is this it http://packages.ubuntu.com/precise/net/cutter
I want to stick to ssh if possible for performance sake, I used a GUI before and messed a machine up lol to tomreyn but ideally I would use a GUI if it wasn't for performance.
bkfitz: no, thne broadcom guide tells you the package n
Unable to install ubuntu
bkfitz: name
I suppose I could install a GUI just to use FileZilla and uninstall but sounds worse than open sftp
cuddylier: the sftp command in openssl-client is indeed what you want then
.. for command line usage
cuddylier: FileZilla is a very powerful peice of software, (if you need it).
i have had 5 lockups setting here :C
im trying to report a bug but some is failing: ERROR: Could not import module, is a package upgrade in progress?  Error: No module named 'DLFCN'
can anyone tell me whats the problem?
Simply put, I cannot share an entire 3tb (2.73Tib) drive as one partition with both Windows and Ubuntu. Neither of them will see each-other's version of the GPT partition table, and MSDOS partition table (MBR) only allows for partitions up to 2tb :(
bkfitz: search the page for the word cutter, seems like an obvious ting to do....
bkfitz: http://packages.ubuntu.com/precise/b43-fwcutter
Tomreyn will open ssh mess up my current ssh? Just the default my host installed.
Or is it only a FTP client?
ActionParsnip: I thought I did... maybe I missed it.  Thx though
ActionParsnip: thx for you help
cuddylier: openssh is an ssh client, it's probably the one you already have installed if you already have an ssh client installed.
Tomreyn Ah...could u tell me the FTP base commands, sorry for being lazy :(
please
ActionParsnip: ok... just installed the deb
ActionParsnip: reboot and pray?
cuddylier: please read the man page and the "interactive commands" section there. there aren't many.
bkfitz: yeah should be ok
Hello, could someone help me with an issue I'm having booting ubuntu from a flash drive?
Tomreyn thanks
yw
Basically, when I try to boot it up I get an error saying there isn't a UI file. I tried changing the name on some files to syslinux, but that didn't work either.
Is there anything else I can try?
Guest92309, do you have the exact error message?
Guest92309, is this from grub?
um, let me see if i can find it
Guest92309, I don't really know what is syslinux. from the manpage, it says it's a bootloader. why are you using it?
it says no default or ui configuration directive found
usr13: something is still funky
im not sure, i googled the error I got and it said to change the file name to that.
im pretty new with this haha
ActionParsnip: something is still funky
Guest92309, how did you install ubuntu?
i havnt yet, i downloadedthe ISO and used pendrive to install it on a flash drive
My left side dock (or as Ubuntu calls it launcher) has been missing in action since I installed Ubuntu. Is there anyway to fix this without reinstalling Ubuntu?
then when i try to boot from the flash drive, i get that error
im trying to REPORT A BUG but some is failingwhen running "ubuntu-bug muon" -> ERROR: Could not import module, is a package upgrade in progress?  Error: No module named 'DLFCN'
Guest92309: Are you trying to install Ubuntu from a flash drive?
yes
Have you tried Unetbootin?
does anyone knows why?
Tomreyn I am really sorry but I can't see commands or interactive commands on http://www.openssh.org/ or even in the commands, am I just blind?
yeah, for some reason it freezes on step 3
Do you already have the ISO downloaded?

ok, it says to try not saving any memory for persistent file, ill try that.
thank you very much :)
Guest92309, I had the exact same issue with pendrive and ubuntu, I never solved it with pendrive. There is a work around however. Here is a link to my site and video on what you can do http://www.greenhornlinux.com/2012/06/03/install-linux-to-a-usb-thumb-drive/ basically if you can use a live cd instead you can use the live cd to set up your flash drive. That method worked for me. Hopefully you can run the live cd
oh, thank you very much, ill defintly watch that
Linkandzelda: I believe you have to hold ALT then right clcik
simplew: sudo find /usr/lib/ -name DLFCN.py -type f

Hello. It doesn't seem like this HP printer is recognized (I keep trying to print a test page but nothing happens). Here is my syslog: http://bpaste.net/show/55707/

what IM clints does everyone use?
i'm tempted to just use Bitlbee lol
simplew, you can simply copy those files, and then copying them back to the same folder
ar9: bo problem :)
no*
Gnosis-: Yes, now configure your printer, (and set as default if you see fit). Kill any jobs.  Print test page.  Etc....
pepee: and oonce the clean isntall is done i copy the packages again to /var/cache/apt and synaptic will use them?
* DayonaAdrie is not a complete Linux junkie but does like it.
simplew, apt-get does that. not sure about synaptic, but it should

DayonaAdrie: Ctrl-Alt-t  ?
Gnosis-: NP
are there stats on kde vs gnome with ubuntu installs/downloads?
i suspect kde is growing lately?
Okay that worked. Thanks usr13 - I'm not a real keyboard ninja with any Linux.
DayonaAdrie: NP
simplew, file a report, but make sure to tell them you are using raring
usr13: I think the regular printer setup GUI for Ubuntu should just include a link to open up http://localhost:631/... clearly the interface is not as good :)
simplew, or just wait for someone to reply in #ubuntu+1
Gnosis-: Agreed
pepee: im in https://bugs.launchpad.net/muon  but i see no way to report a bug
pepee: this bug happens in 12.10
simplew, try #kubuntu then
simplew, again, you are using raring...
What's a good resource for learning linux for ground-up approach? E.G. i want to get into compiling and building packages for a lot of the apps that I see out there, but many of which have to be compiled, packed, or in some cases repacked.
simplew: this would be the page for ubuntu bugs https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/muon (the other would be for upstream bugs if muon used launchpad for that, which they don't)
Zer0Glitch: As a Ubuntu user, you'll find little need to compile a package, most all of them come to us packaged and ready to go.
Zer0Glitch, linux from scratch I suppose. ask in ##linux too
ActionParsnip: okay, I added "nomodeset nouveau.blacklist=yes" after "-- quiet". Same result.
arielCo: are you using a switchable video hardware
Yup, that's what I was writing: "Maybe booting with the integrated gpu."
Well this is going to take me some time to do. Stupid satellite internet. Meanwhile the only thing I have to watch i the post game coverage on a game that we done won and I don't care to watch a post game of. All I know is the Alabama Crimson Tide won.
And that's all I care about. xD
arielCo: that stuff causes all kinds of hell in linux
usr13 > Try finding a solid pre-packed NEStopia copy that runs well on Ubuntu and employs sound properly across multiple hardware brands and run that by me again.
arielCo: this may help https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HybridGraphics
arielCo: I've never seen a success story with that mess.
Zer0Glitch: As far as just learning Linux from "ground up";  To start with, there are lots of resources online.  You might find http://www.linux.org/ interesting, (see Free Online Linux Courses).
Zer0Glitch, look into funtoo or gentoo as well
install gentoo
yeah
A lot of the repacks and ports I want to do are for indie games
Not a lot out there for games which are well-packed to run with Ubuntu
im trying to use luckybackup to backup my /etc , but it appears to not be able to do it , which i assume is some sort of permissions thing.  I tried running lucky backup via the terminal with sudo, but it still appears to not allow it
Zer0Glitch: http://www.playdeb.net/updates/ubuntu/12.04/?q=nes   you can use once you install this deb: http://archive.getdeb.net/install_deb/playdeb_0.3-1~getdeb1_all.deb
Zer0Glitch,   you can always build them your self although i haven't found any games that work on linux that dont usually have a debian or ubuntu package
No luck either. I already installed OpenSUSE by switching to the integrated gpu, but the netboot CD freezes.
Zer0Glitch: what is the output of: lsb_release -sc    I may have a PPA for nestopia
actionParsnip: above. Also, did I mention thet it's an amd64 ISO?
arielCo: shouldn't make a difference on the arch
Thought so. If I even had a log... FYI, it works fine with qemu-kvm from the existing installation.
Ahh... I'll try the "expert command line install" and see what shows up
arielCo: if you intend to use Linux it is best avoided
is there a way to have "dd" show you the % complete for transferring the blocks?
(if of course, the input is of a known size)
oooo i found a google article that may have given me information to do that... i'll post it here if it turns out to help :)
rgenito: http://www.commandlinefu.com/commands/view/5293/dd-with-progress-bar
rgenito: if you "pkill -USR2 dd" or maybe USR1, it prints progress info.
Lol, ninja'd
Does anyone know some popular irc channels, for General technology or chat?
shell, There is #ubuntu-offtopic
shell: #ubuntu-offtopic can be both :)
oh sweet, this seems to help me learn about other things too.. thanks ActionParsnip and arielCo :D
wait, what's the topic here anyways? ;)
whattttt?
dude, "watch" ... awesome! :D
Are there any others beside offtopic that you like?
Special thanks to ActionParsnip and Burtonium
the idea of a command like that kicks ASS
ola
ActionParsnip: no luck with any option. I guess I'll burn a full dvd.
Zer0Glitch: sudo apt-get install build-essential #Go to http://www.linux.org/article/view/installing-programs-and-upgrading-software-os-versions and scroll to bottom.  #FYI
np Zer0Glitch
i just installed the mediabuntu extras but update manager isn't letting me update some stuff it says Requires installation of untrusted packages and stops
I was trying to spare me a half-gb of updates
wow, i didn't realize "kill" could be so interesting :)
Zer0Glitch: My last comment to you is probably something you dont really need, but just FYI.
Why do you mention usr13?
Just so I know?
Zer0Glitch: Yes
Noskcaj, Did you add the key and is it shown in a try in the terminal?
wilee-nilee: what do you mean and i will try
Noskcaj, Are you running the installs from a terminal?
usr13 > I'm running 12.04 LTS will it matter?
rgenito: 'kill' is all about sending signals to processes. Most signal can be "caught" and be used for signalling.
Zer0Glitch: No.  (And 12.04 LTS is a good place to be IMO).
wilee-nilee: i am now, and it says no public  key
Ubuntu software center is slow and buggy.. is this a common problem??
how can i back up /etc ?
Noskcaj, With medibuntu stuff?
brady, cp /etc /some/backup/folder
brady, What's confusing you?
yes? no?
skunk, IDK, I never use it :P
i was trying to use luckybackup
brady, I guess the -r flag might be useful
brady, I'm not familiar with that program
good grief.. this darn thing has been buggy and slow for two years since it's incemption
im not familiar with the terminal
fair enough :P
skunk, just use command line tools
Noskcaj: if you can give the code in:  sudo apt-get update     I can advise
<wilee-nilee: yeah
look man.. not to be rude.. but if ubuntu is supposed to be for "human beings" they should compete head on with the mac app store
Noskcaj, I'm not sure how you added the repo, but this set of commands should of added it and the keys.  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu
thanks
Noskcaj: run:   sudo apt-get update    what is teh GPG key error you get?
Noskcaj, You might try just this portion, sudo apt-get --yes --quiet --allow-unauthenticated install medibuntu-keyring && sudo apt-get --quiet update
edbian, look man.. not to be rude.. but if ubuntu is supposed to be for "human beings" they should compete head on with the mac app store
GPG error: http://packages.medibuntu.org quantal InRelease: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 2EBC26B60C5A2783
Noskcaj: sudo apt-key adv --recv-key --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com 2EBC26B60C5A2783
synaptic was really good though
skunk, they are trying to compete.  No-one said they're succeeding!  (maybe they do) but anyway.  Do you have a tech support question?  if not you can talk about the stupid software center in #ubuntu-offtopic
Noskcaj, It loks like ActionParsnip has the key for you.
ok
Sup.
Hello.
wilee-nilee: its the same for all key errors. I have it in a script called 'getkey' :)
jsKeal: dont waste time
Why?
lol.
I have all the time I need :&
ActionParsnip, Hehe, how convenient. ;)
wilee-nilee: I'm lazy
I need to setup a directory and have some specific permissions. I need a user called MxCamera which can read and write to this directory (MxData) via NFS. I need another user called MxUser which can Read only to this directory via SMB - as a start - where is the best place to create this folder? under /home/MxData ?
Ali_nz^1, I believe you need to have that use MxCamera on the file hosting machine and the machine the user logs into in order for it to work correctly.
Ali_nz^1, There is a system which allows you to add use account to one file on one machine and have all the other machines read that file to become of user accounts.
Ali_nz^1: if you use smbpasswd you can make samba users, then set which samba users have what access
Ali_nz^1, The best place for the folder is probably /mnt/  or I guess just in /  ?  Not really sure
Ok
then /mnt/MxData it is
And just trying to get my head around NFS permissions
If I understand correct NFS allows or disallows access based on IP address?
how do I check what my username is?
whoami
ta
Ali_nz^1: what says 'id'?
Ali_nz^1: works in windows too :)
the manual suggests chown -R 65534:0 /mnt/MxData - does that give everyone access to the directory?
ActionParsnip: ur right - it does work in windows lol
gah freaking comcast
the user I created (MxCamera) is 1000:1000 who why not chown -R 1000:1000
Ali_nz^1: no you need to chmod
Random833: nah - the next line says chmod 755 /mnt/mxData
How does one switch between desktop builds in Ubuntu?
I have 12.04 LTS and just installed xubuntu-desktop
whats the best free ddns service these days with ubuntu support?
i use afraid.org
Zer0Glitch: typically you switch at login between the installed ones
Zer0: usually on boot you are presented a selection in Grub boot
gnnr: Yeah I seen that one - what makes it good? how to make it work with ubuntu
Is there a way to set default?
Zer0Glitch: the last session is remembered for your user
Zer0Glitch: depends on your displaymanager
Ali_nz^1: inadyn for example. apt-cache search afraid.org
another would be no-ip.org
no-ip is sweeeeet
Ali_nz^1: it's free, tons of fun domains to choose from. I'd recommend setting it up on your router and then forwarding the ports you need to your computer
the ubuntu installer, its possible to install to a drive that has some folders in it without overwriting it?
brady, during the install you are prompted to create a new partition, so usually you either want to erase the contents and install on an existing partition or create a new partition
does this mean i can reduce the size of the partition the files are on , without deleting them, and therefore have space to create a new partition for the system?
brady, yes you will have to select manual partition and see if you can find a solution that works for you
it looks like you can create a subdomain
brady: but make sure you have backups of the data which is on the disk you want to resize. make very sure
Ali_nz^1: you can always only create a subdomain
wols: whats the diff between the public and private ones?
context?
wols_: the domains on freedns
brad[]: you can mark the partition to be used if you use custom partitining and the data will stand
brad[]: obviously filenames identical in the install will be overwritten by the installer
Ali_nz^1: all I can see are private IPs, which means non-routable IPs
MB on my HP just fried so went out & bought a Dell GX620 for 15 bucks, put in the drive and Ubuntu booted up. I am thrilled but surprised. Wouldnt Ubuntu have hp specific drivers installed?
ActionParsnip, he parted
_cb, is there a specific device that isn't working?
I have not done extensive testing. I am shoked that it even worked
gnnr can one take an ubuntu drive from any one computer, put it into another computer and it will work?
_cb: no bad thing, sounds awesome
ActionParsnip yeah.I thought I was going to have to boot onto cd, copy my data, reformat...
_cb, drivers in ubuntu are packaged in to the install, so just install ubuntu on another machine, and most hardware is supported. Turns out hp, dell, etc use almost identical components
_cb: i suggest you get a backup solution
gnnr so I got lucky. Had it been a different model of computer it may have not worked.
_cb  It's possible a number of motherboards would have worked, but like ActionParsnip back up so you don't have to test your luck
hi guys
hi guys how to install latest firefox
juniour: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FirefoxNewVersion
juniour: what is the output of: lsb_release -sc
fego you have use mozilla in windows
juniour: yes, but not a bin of FF though
precise
big fan i meant
juniour: cool, there are a few PPAs listed on the link fego gave
fego i want the same in ubuntu
juniour, try sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-mozilla-security/ppa && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install firefox
gnnr tried saying you have the latest one
i right click the network manager and disable my wifi, now i cant enable it back
any ideas??
juniour:  there's chromium-browser if you want to use that
no
juniour: I just went to http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/   and it aays ver 16 is latest for windows... which is default in Precise as far as I know
can i mae it same as i use in windows
ahhhh
juniour, may want to go directly to mozzila's website, and see if there is a direct download, or more frequent builds.
juniour: the PPAs will help
ActionParsnip: no, they will not
yea make sure you add the PPA from mozilla
juniour: you are already using the latest stable firefox
ActionParsnip its less option here i dont get the histoty and all options
xangua: why not?
xangua: s/he has 15 wheras Quantal has 16
ActionParsnip how to enable al the option
juniour: what do you mean you dont get the history and options?
yeppp
does netflix work in wine anyone?
gnnr: no need for that ppa in ages, it doesn't even exist anymore
ActionParsnip: i am using precice and have fx 16
why gstreamer-faac doesnt exist in ubuntu?
blazinbass: i dont think so. maybe check winedb or #wine
xangua: seems ubottu is lying then :)
file,tool,edit this all option i am not getting
yea i have 16 looks same as windows for me
blazinbass:  not really.
xangua: yes, she is. packages.ubuntu says 16 too
i want to clear my history how willi delete
juniour: move your mouse up to the title bar
juniour: press CTRL+Shift+DEL
* dsprc does unity still do that??
ActionParsnip just i cant get options like i get in windows
juniour: like what?
the unified menu thing that they have at the top left i think is what he is talking about
you are using shortcut i want the icon
all
juniour: did you move your mouse to the topmost panel? The file, Edit etc go in there
menu in firefox
yaaa
its not there
juniour: do you have firefox-globalmenu installed?
ok - I dont get it. I am looking at inadyn for use with freedns, but the command line examples for freedns dont show a prompt for username or password?
hi, i am using samsung ml1660 printer, ubuntu detect my printer but i am unable to print anything. I have installed samsung unified driver but still no result.
ActionParsnip: why gstreamer-faac doesnt exist in ubuntu?
wallythemoose: One possible theory is that what you think is a single drive (and was advertised as a single drive) is really a FakeRAID of some type. Do you see more disks listed in Ubuntu that in Windows?
guys... at wits end, would love some advice.  i hate unity.  hate is a strong word i know, but its true.  the fact that you cant see open windows and only have that arrow thing, i hate it.  and have to go to 3d mode to see other windows... i hate extra steps.  thats why i dont like unity.  i tried out kubuntu after 5 years.  the customization is AWESOME.  leagues above ubuntu.  but, buggy. things work than they dont work... etc.  so
can anyone point me to a site that will tell me how to get ubuntu 12.10 running. with a taskbar, so i can see all open windows.  essentially is what i need.  would love the help.  thanks :)
ssasori: try xfce desktop :)
inadyn --dyndns_service default@freedns.afraid.org -a my.registrated.name,hash_from_freedns
ActionParsnip: thanks dude, will go check it out right now
Ali_nz^1, you'll need to go into the options on the site, and generate a hash for your subdomain
simplew: seems to be in gst-plugins-bad0.10
wallythemoose: For example if the the RAID array has a stripe size of one MiB, then the first MiB of one of the drives will be the same as the first MiB of the array, and so when looking at that drive alone it will appear to have a GPT label with invalid partition definitions (because it's really describing the array rather than that individual drive).
gnnr:ahhh i see
gnnr: and setting it as a daemon? or startup service?
simplew: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gst-plugins-bad0.10/0.10.22.3-2ubuntu1
 is there a terminal command to force my system to restart in xubuntu-desktop? It keeps reloading into Ubuntu LTS without giving me choice to choose desktop
Ali_nz^1, I would probably add it as a daemon
ActionParsnip: such package does not exist gst-plugins-bad0.10
man inadyn and read through all of the options
simplew: install gstreamer1.0-plugins-bad
ActionParsnip: iits installed but arista continues complaining about it
Ali_nz^1, like I said earlier, I prefer to set it up on my router, if you use one.
ActionParsnip: in Arista i cant do a convertion using preset "Computer - H.264", then appears a dialog to search
ActionParsnip: thanks for the advice, but a negative on XFCE
how do i delete a file with an - in front of it?
-blah.flv.
rm is taking it as a param.
i've tried \ and quotes.
bikcmp: rm ./-blah.flv
ssasori, have you tried lxde?
however, i may have found a colution.  Cinnamon.  if that can kill the danged unity display, ill be happy as a clam
bikcmp: rm ./\-blah.flv
Jordan_U, ActionParsnip, worked.  thanks.
gnnr: thanks, checking now
bikcmp: Another option for difficult file names in almost any command is something like "rm -- -blah.flv" where '--' means "Stop processing flags".
Jordan_U: yeah
good one
thanks.
bikcmp: You're welcome.
ssasori: be warned that pcmanfm (the file/desktop manager of LXDE) does not play nice if nautilus is on the same box
Do any international mirrors exist for the kernel DEB files available at http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/ ? ... A mirror on the Chinese mainland would be ideal, but anywhere else in Asia could also be worth a try.
dsprc: not had an issue here, just need to add:   --no-desktop  to when you run it :)
dsprc: cool thanks for the heads up.  going to virt ubu12.10 and try cinamon to see if it kills unity look.  so sad.... had my kubuntu all set up.... but bug after bug... sucks.  seriously though, ubu needs to bring in those widgets, those are AWESOME.
ActionParsnip: had to replace it with thunar because it became so crash prone.
which software allows me to open .dmg's???
seems like nautilus gets jealous or lonely and fights for attention sometmes.
nsudo: dmg2img might help you, but why do you want to open a .dmg file?
dsprc: I'm a huge fan of pcmanfm :)
dsprc: it also starts trying to draw the desktop unless you tell it not to
Jordan_U I have exported a movie in a dmg
nsudo: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ManageDiscImages#DMG_Images
nsudo: In future I suggest you use ISO files, they are slightly easier to work with than apple rubbish
dsprc, I have some issues with nautilus, usually go with one or the other on an install.
have had
ActionParsnip: ill try that and see if it helps to clear things up
hello everybody !!
ActionParsnip ok
i'll have to try what you suggested
On Ubuntu 12.10, I want to have VMware fullscreen on my secondary monitor but the global menu bar at the top keeps painting over the vmware window.. can I disable the global menu for the other monitor?
i want to learn the commands for ubuntu 12.4
where can i find all of them ?
YourTROLL: then use it, you will learn as you use it
It's hard to dignify responding to someone's questions when their username is YourTROLL
yea but i am new with ubuntu
it's like asking for trouble
ActionParsnip anything to replace fcp?
YourTROLL: thats a good start, there are tonnes of commands. I suggest you use duckduckgo and search for:  !man command     and you'll get a man page (handy)
nsudo: what is fcp?
ActionParsnip anything to replace final cut pro?
mm okay thank you !!!
ActionParsnip anything to replace final cut pro (video editor ) and motion (vfx) ?
final cut pro is a pretty high end program. Linux has video editors, but I don't know of any that wel respected
nsudo: pitivi
pitivi is fun :)
ActionParsnip: I have done what was written here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1591873&page=1 but unfortunately there is nowhere to manually select the driver.
nsudo: lightworks gets awards too
ActionParsnip cool
nsudo: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2012/04/professional-video-editor-lightworks-shown-off
ActionParsnip, lightworks is available now?
it's in limited alpha right now I think
gnnr: not sure
blender has some tools that allow you to lay cuts on the time line and do some editing as well
ActionParsnip: Furthermore, when ever i tried to print a test page or something else, the status of that job is Completed yet the printer is not printing anything
yea as of 31st hmm
ActionParsnip Thanks
nsudo: Right now most video editing and effects software for GNU/Linux is either frankly not up to par with what's available in the Final Cut Suite, or is only available to those working in companies making blockbuster movies.
i was bad i had to run mac in a vm, to do video editing when I needed it :(
I heard you could do that only recently, and it still suprises me that you can
gnnr: where do I create a hash?
Jordan_U Ya so true
depends what you need
nsudo: That said, the short films from the Blender foundation prove that you can still do amazing things with purely open source software. The latest being "Tears of Steel" here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R6MlUcmOul8
Ali_nz^1, go here: http://freedns.afraid.org/dynamic/ and click direct url
in that url is a hash for your subdomain, or you can simply query that url with wget or curl
This is not working any ideas? Sender: tar c /dir netcat MYIP MYPORT , Recv: netcat -l MYPORT | tar x . Error is: tar: This does not look like a tar archive
Jordan_U Ya Blender is a awesome piece of foss
undriedsea: ask in #bash too :)
thanks
nsudo: And since their target was "to improve and test a complete open and free pipeline for visual effects in film", and I haven't tried their tools recently I may have to take back my earlier statement :)
Jordan_U thats a good news !!
Hello World! Do I need to disable all the ppa before I dist-upgrade
       from 12.04 to 12.10?
Jordan_U thats movie is awesome
nsudo: Their others are as well, my favorit is still the first though just for story.
Jordan_U does lightworks have a ppa?
yoga: I would as a precaution
ActionParsnip how to install lightworks, ppa or terminal?
nsudo: not sure dude
ActionParsnip alright!
So I assigned the hostname
So I assigned the hostname 'litterbox' to my machine. How can I access it over the network using this name instead of IP?
nsudo: i believe its a limited alpha etc
ActionParsnip oh ya, they say a neta release
ActionParsnip nice for ubuntu
ActionParsnip Jordan_U time for apple to shut their pricy acts !
phillijw: you set the name locally via /etc/hosts or you can let your router handle it via dhcp (assuming it is "intelligent" enough)
my router is PfSense
then it most certainly is intelligent enough :)
when I do an nslookup from my windows machine it says its a non-existent domain
sup guys
phillijw: tried a different nameserver?
pfsense is my nameserver
phillijw: are you doing static or dynamic ip allocation?
hm.. actually it just appears to be my windows machine that's confused and can't find anything... maybe because it's being routed through wireless bullcrap
dsprc, dynamic
phillijw: try a web based one, like 8.8.8.8
did you reboot the machine or ask for a new dhcp lease after you renamed litterbox?
ActionParsnip, I dont think you understand my issue. The problem exists on my internal network. Not the interwebs
phillijw: ahhh i ee

I made a bootable usbdrive, with AntiX linux on it. it work fine on my new laptop. But on my Old laptop it does not. It give me the message that there is no bootabtle device (something like that).
Is there anyone who can tells me why?
ps. What I did was, sudo fdisk -l to see the usbdrive I wanted to make bootable sudo dd if=AntiX.iso of=/dev/sdx (in my case sdb).
phillijw: can you ping the dns server?
ArubaDods: antiX linux isn't supported here
Is there a equalizer for 12.10? Pref something that works system wide...
ok lets say linux, because it did the same with ubuntu server
ArubaDods: http://irc.netsplit.de/channels/details.php?room=%23antix&net=Zoite
ArubaDods: if you want distro independant support, try #linux
ubuntuserver 12.04
ArubaDods: it's not ubuntu server
ArubaDods: the link I gave you takes you to the support channel of your distro
i try it with both
Howdy. Do we talk "Mint" on this channel?
Many thanks all
ActionParsnip, You seem to know what you are doing, is there a equalizer for ubuntu 12.10?
brandon420: like an animation based on sounds played, or one to tweak the outputted sound itself?
brandon420, checkout pulseaudio-equalizer, it may not be in the main repositories
ActionParsnip, to tweak the sound.
gnnr, I saw something about that, but I could not find where to download it at, only a "atp install link"
anyhow, one other question wich one is lighter the xubuntu or lubuntu?
ArubaDods: Lubuntu is slightly lighter
ArubaDods: lubuntu
ArubaDods: if you want super light, install ubuntu minimal then install openbox (no desktop needed) :)
maybe someone else has a better option, but I've been using pulseaudio-equalizer for awhile, http://www.ubuntuupdates.org/package/webupd8/quantal/main/base/pulseaudio-equalizer
brandon420: sudo add-apt-repositoru ppa:hbars-2/ppa; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install pulseaudio-equalizer
Thank you sir!
<3
ActionParsnip, Ok thanks a lot. I use the ubuntu server, but sometimes I want to use only the minimal requierments for watching movies, because its hooked on one of my lcd
Suggestions for RTL8111/8168B wireless networking? No luck getting it functioning on an HP Pavilion dv7
hey, does anyone know how to get empathy to sign into jabber on login?
ArubaDods: that is pretty much as light as it gets, you may want to install slim as a login manager too
ArubaDods: if you want something really barebones you can use twm. i think the only dependency is that you have X and glibc
ActionParsnip, I will test the openbox, thanks a lot. I will ask about the dd command somewhere else
ArubaDods: ubuntu minimal + Xorg + openbox is about 1.2Gb installed if memory serves
ArubaDods: if you use /etc/network/interfaces to configure networking you can save space there too :)
 Hi community...which command is used to check shell I am using in
bash: -/.bashrc: No such file or directory....So means I am not using bash. what is my shell? csh? zsh? how I check
talpur | First "tty" to figure out your tty #. Then "ps" and look for the shell running on the tty.
need help comunity
ActionParsnip, ok thanks. I was looking for e text editor to save your messages in xfce. but could not find it. I open a terminal and type gedit :-)
dsprc, thanks for your help
ArubaDods: mousepad
talpur, chsh
ArubaDods: you can run:  sudo ln -s `which mousepad` /usr/bin/gedit     to make life easier :)
talpur: echo $SHELL
oh! ok hahaha...thanks a lot
thanks thedrub.. I am biggner with ubuntu...can u write me exact command for checking...thanks gnnr and dsprc...i am trying those
ActionParsnip, is ubuntu minimal like a iso which I can download?
ArubaDods: a simple websearch would have turned that up. Saves you having to ask......
talpur: Type "tty". That lists the tty at which you are typing. Something like "/dev/ttys000", or similar. The "ps" outputs a list of processes and should have the shell name associated with the "ttysXXX". Will show "bash", "sh", etc
haha...ok thanks
did echo $shell not work?
ActionParsnip, haha...ok thanks. will search for it
gnnr: with a capitall SHELL it outputs:  /bin/bash here :)
derp
gnnr | I didn't think $SHELL was absolutely definitive. Could be changed. Perhaps I've missed something.
?
 
 
 
thedrub, oh was just repeating dsprc but said derp because i didn't capitalize
gnnr |   :-)
ActionParsnip: what was that smb share software you suggested before?
hello guys
I am trying to run Ubuntu on a macbook pro 15 inch with retina, however the fonts and icons are tiny
all else is well
is there any way to scale everything up without using a lower resolution?
or at least the font sizes?
can anyone recommend a cli bittorrent client?
Ali_nz^1: install samba, that is what gives smb
samuel: make the font size bigger in the appearance configs
phillijw: transmission has an nurses client I believe
phillijw: rtorrent :)
ActionParsnip: sorry I thought there was some special software you mentioned about samba users. I assume now its just part of the package
samuel, what is transmission?
ActionParsnip, ah nice. I think i've used that one before. Nice simple client
samuel,  System -> Preferences -> Appearance, select the Fonts tab, click the Details button
Is there a easy way to get to a network file, using xfce? like ubuntu opening Home folder and see the link in the list 'browse network'?
gnnr: thanks also, but I don't seem to have a fonts tab
I am using a "stock" ubuntu install, might I be missing something?
samuel, apologies, I am not on 12.10. It appears you might want to install Gnome Tweak Tool/Advanced Settings because Gnome has removed some of it's advanced settings by default. You can also try a different window manager
I just upgraded from 12.04 to 12.10 and all of a sudden my gui looks different and everything is slow and the resolution is definately off
gnnr: thanks for the info, I will try those. Do you have any idea on what WM might handle a high DPI display better? I have tried gnome-shell and unity but they don't do so well yet.
samuel, I am a fan of lxde or xfce
xfce works with a high resolution screen?
samuel: or install gnome-tweak-tool and tweak there
samuel: sure
samuel: you could set a higher DPI too and things will get bigger too
ActionParsnip: thanks, I will try xfce and the tweak tool
ActionParsnip: I did try that, but no luck
in xorg.conf
actionparsnip: why would upgrading from 12.04 to 12.10 affect my graphics drivers?
I doubled the DPI hoping that it would make it a quarter as big, but nothing seemed to change
linux_is_my_hero: sure, you will also get a later XOrg version as well, it all contributes
can anyone link me to a good tutorial for starting programs automatically upon startup, or give me a quick rundown?
samuel: I'd go for setting the font larger, should make things look sure smooth
p0is0n: there is a startup items manager in dash
thanks very much

hey, this is dumb asking this here since its to do with windows, but is it better to keep an OS on a seperate partition, or just have the lot on the 1 hard drive.
actionparsnip: by default in 11.10 and 12.04 i had to tell it to use the nVidea drivers but there was a place to do that under system settings.  this is gunna sound really stupid, but where did it go?
ActionParsnip, I'm using server version so i don't have a gui

ActionParsnip, for example if I want to execute a python script, can I type 'python File.py &&' and it will execute on startup?
ActionParsnip, Nice mini.iso, I have made a bootable usb using that iso with the dd command. And it worked! I am going to play around a little. :-) Thanks a lot.
p0is0n: yes but you only need one ampersand. If you mark the file as executable you can just name the file and can omit the 'python' word
ActionParsnip: Ok. Samba installed and created a share in smb.conf and set security = user
ActionParsnip, thanks mate. I'll have a read up on exact syntax
now how do I create a Samba user that can access only that folder?
Ali_nz^1: sudo smbpasswd -a name
Ali_nz^1: you can then add: allowed users = name   and so forth
hi all, i had one question in sleep XX what is the type (ms or sec)?
devish: sec
llutz_: thanks
devish: "man sleep"
* dsprc man sleep. hacker caffeine. ugh.
i have a laptop that i believe needs this package (its what i used before) http://www.ubuntuupdates.org/package/core/precise/multiverse/base/firmware-b43-installer, what do i need to download so i can transfer it via usb drive?
i got lost when it required fw cutter package, i went to the package at ubuntuupdates.org and that told me the package was an umbrella
no clue what that means
this was so much easier when i let the software center handle dependencies
XiaolinDraconis: that package is actually a script which downloads more software to extract firmware from it
XiaolinDraconis: you still can
no i cant
you can
that would require an internet connection
...
use your ethernet then
thats not available this time around
Hi! I'm having problem with installing Ubuntu on a SD card
It seems like the card is remounted during installation and changes mount name
would this package not require an internet connection? https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+archive/primary/+files/broadcom-sta_5.100.82.112-4.debian.tar.gz
file transfer speeds. Is this normal. 2gb mp4 file ext4 to ext4 = 5 seconds the same file ext4 to ntfs 2 minutes+ ?
or is that going to need to download stuff too?
XiaolinDraconis: it's not a driver
it's a firmware
nokia: that's normal.
nokia: yes. ntfs is a user space filesystem
then that makes the information at this page useless, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx#b43%20-%20No%20Internet%20access
nokia: it's not 5 seconds either unless it's from SSD to SSD
XiaolinDraconis: it's not. stop whining
stop being purposely unhelpful
nokia: No, it's not normal for there to be a descrepency that large between ntfs and ext4, but you're probably misinterpreting what you're seeing.
have a nice day. good luck with your problem. PS: remember, _you_ need help from us
well that isnt very nice.
i need help from helpful people, not someone who is going to give me the run around
vague is not a sexy look
Zlasher: a sdcard is (usually) just a mass storage device like any other, so it shouldn't make any trouble. but you need to be more specific for people to help you
fail.
hugo
nokia: If you had run "sync" after making that "5 second" copy from ext4 to ext4 you probably would have had to wait at least two minutes for "sync" to complete (which means that all data is actually on disk). I'm guessing that you did the ext4 to ntfs copy either after the ext4 to ext4 copy (so the original transaction, which was in memory but not committed to disk was taking up RAM) or for other reasons didn't have much free RAM ...
... for the transaction to be cached in.
Jordan_U: could be that ntfs is always synced to preven corruption issues or maybe it has to be since it's userspace
wols_, How can I be more specific? It doesn't work because the card get remounted?
'ello
wols_: I doubt that either is the case but I can't say for sure.
when does the error occur, how do you know it's remounted, what is the error message, etc. lots of things you don't mention
wols_, relax.  We are here to help, not berate.
phunyguy_x1: do you have a ubuntu related problem?
wols_, do you have an attitude problem?
:-/
* phunyguy_x1 hands wols_ a beer.
to be fair on wols_ it is hideously annoying when someone asks a question without giving information
Zlasher: What error messages are you seeing from Ubiquity (Ubuntu's installer)? How are you checking the mountpoint?
The error happens during different phases during the installation depending on when it gets remounted. I don't remember the exact error message but it was something with that the device wasn't  reachable or available
that sounds more like your controller or card craps out and gets non responsive
handuel, also to be fair, all questions are welcome, and if info is needed, it can be requested.
it happens a lot on launchpad, you just get people going "ubuntu is broken" and expect us to know what to do from that
I get thown back to the paritioning step and there I see that the number in the mount name has increased
this is ubuntu support, not gentoo.
Zlasher: what device name exactly has "increased"?
sda#
Zlasher: that number at the end cannot increase
Cannot?
a partition is always sda1 and never can be sda2 unless you purposely rewrite the partition table
yes cannot
Zlasher: That number is the partition number, it can only change if the partition table changes.
Zlasher: after you add a partition to sda it will be sda1. then add another it will be sda2 etc etc
hi, i want to pinch zoom using the touch pad. How can i do it in ubuntu
Zlasher: Can you pastebin the output of "dmesg" after a failure?
But it reset when I restart the installation
Zlasher: sure. if you create a new partition only
I need help comunity to reslove the problem
talpur@talpur-Inspiron-1564:/mnt$ sudo chroot -
chroot: cannot change root directory to -: No such file or directory
talpur: path missing, "-" isn't a valind path to chroot to most likely
talpur: you need to chroot to a directory. like "sudo chroot /mnt/tmp" and this directory must actually exist
talpur: You can't chroot into stdin, it doesn't even make sense. What is your end goal?
wols_, http://community.spiceworks.com/topic/96885-has-anyone-noticed-ubuntu-s-forums-and-irc-rooms-have-gotten-ruder
wols_ I know what this channel is for, but you don't have to be rude to everyone that may or may not know the proper question-asking procedures.
I've said my piece.
The error message and the dmsg. Should I get anything more when I'm already at it?
Zlasher: Screenshots of the partitioning screen in the installer before and after would be good.
I am go back to use classic gnome with ubuntu 12.04 but switching between opened windows by alt + tab not working ?
talpur do you want chroot .
it chroots to the current directory
Zlasher: To get those you'll need to chose the "Try without installing" option (which, despite how it sounds, still allows you to start the installer from the Desktop, but in a window where you can access other tools like the screenshot tool).
wols and Jordan I am working with GEM5 ....I follow ths steps for images using qemu and follow the steps given about that in youtube video
talpur: Please link to the instructions you're following.
talpur: then give us the youtube video link and tell us at which timestamp that instruction occurs
Hi there, is there someone known with the GTX670-DC2-2GD5 graphics card having no transparency? I have installed the nvidia drivers but still no transparency..
Jordan_U, Thanks!! Will do!
Zlasher: You're welcome :)
BWorld: how do you check this transparency?
ok . the video is"www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oh3NK12fnbg" working with image file useing qemu...@ timestemp 5 minutes
wols_, the dash is black, I turned on transparency in terminal as well and it is transparent but I only see the desktop while there is actually another application running behind the terminal
talpur: "sudo chroot ." is what is written there
I am watching video on other system so I write the link. at my place youtube is blocked so I use hotspot at other system
wols sorry I couldn't understand what u want to know
wols thanks...I was using - instead of fullstop .
wols_, do you think you know what the problem is?
talpur: I don't want to know anything. the command there is "sudo chroot ." a dot, not -
thanks wols its working
lol I told him that five minutes ago
yes Wols  I understand
wols this is the actually problem I got in some other statments also....I am very much thank full wols and Jordan_U for response
BWorld: that is the default pseudo transparency. i think you need to enable the 3D effects for "real" transpar
talpur: You're welcome.
BWorld: glxinfo |grep -i render
dsprc, Hmm, is there an easy way to do this you know of?
wols_, here is output: http://pastebin.com/mtaUYX88
BWorld: not a clue how it is usually done these days. used to just right click the desktop and could do it from there
dsprc, this easy... haha will try
BWorld: dont know if the options are still there. havent used the "default" DE/WM setup for a while
dsprc, option is not there... looked into my nvidia settings and in my compiz UI as well but no luck there either...
dsprc, is this setting '3d settings' google-able because when I google on it how to enable it I get results related to compiz but I dont think this is relevant ...
dsprc, I will try another driver from the 'Additional drivers' window, need to reboot, thanks for help so far
I need help. I have two Ubuntu systems installed, the second one installed GRUB. Now I want to delete the second one, but I'm afraid that may remove GRUB and I'll be unable to boot the old system. What should I do? Is there a command line for that?
Fekkuo: Just boot into the first one, install a boot loader, and delete the second one.
bekks, just tell the grub not loading second one
Is there a command line to install the bootloader, honorable bekks?
bekks, sorry for worng notice
:d
=d
blackshirt: Thats not that easy. Because when you delete the second one, and you delete the /boot that grub relies on, you get a broken system.
blackshirt: Fekkuo: Thats why I said to properly install a boot loader from the first one.
Fekkuo: "sudo grub-install /dev/sdX" where "sdX" is the drive you want to install grub's boot sector to, and should be something like "sda" or "sdb" but *not* a partition like "sda1".
is there a way to make 12.04 search usb drive for packages?
Fekkuo: You should also have a LiveCD/USB on hand just in case, and if something goes wrong you can follow https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2/Installing#via_ChRoot .
ive gotten every deb file i could possibly need to install this wireless driver, but they all need fwcutter and it requires internet to get the drivers i already have on usb
Jordan-U; I've tried that once and it said it's a BAD idea; only if I used blocklists, and it said it's unreliable.
Fekkuo: You probably passed grub-install the wrong device. Again, it should be a drive (like /dev/sda) not a partition (like /dev/sda1).
Hello
I was thinking of deleting the second system with Gparted and running "$ sudo update-grub" or something, to see what happens. But I'm really afraid it doesn't work and I will have broken system.
OH!
Fekkuo: the worst thing that'll happen is you get to reinstall
I want to compile new kernel (3.6.4) but make initrd image in very big size !
about 130M
Fekkuo: update-grub only re-writes /boot/grub/grub.cfg , which doesn't help you here.
Fekkuo: Then create a bootable USB medium as Jordan_U suggested - that will leave a chance to get your system back.
How can fix this problem ?
Jordan_U: Easy like that :o
mah454: Why is a 130M initrd a problem to you?
Fekkuo: I don't understand your last comment.
bekks: default is about 40M
my wireless sucks with the new linux kernel, what should i do?
Jordan_U; bekks; blackshirt: sorry for taking your time. Thank you so much.
asilhouette: which wlan chip?
mah454: And why is that critical to you then? The initrd size is determined by all the modules you activated for being compiled.
asilhouette: Which new kernel?
XiaolinDraconis: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx#b43_-_No_Internet_access
I ran '$ sudo grub-install /dev/sda' and it worked.
Fekkuo: No problem , you're welcome :)
beks wols_ 3.5 kernel gives problem, with rt2800usb
asilhouette: Which kernel (update) exactly do you mean?
linux 3.5 that came with ubuntu 12.10 update, bekks
i don't quite remember the exact version after 3.5
asilhouette: uname -a tells you the exact version
w8 update grub gives the linux versions
i'm on 3.2 right now
3.5.0-17-generic is the one giving me problem. bekks wols_
bekks: edit /etc/initramfs-tools/initramfs.conf and change MODULES=most to MODULES=dep
fixed !
the network manager connects but the the signal dissapears with signal strength going unknown and iwconfig doesn't think the driver is connected to anything
Jordan_U, the proprietary package (wl) mentioned in that article does not work on my laptop, i need to install b43-firmware-installer, which doesnt seem to be listed in the "no internet access" section
Jordan_U, ive had that article as well as 3 or 4 other tabs open for the last hour, reading away and attempting what i can, it seems like i have no choice but to install this fwcutter package
Jordan_U, going on 2 hours now
XiaolinDraconis: The b43 driver is the *only* one mentioned in the "no internet access" section.
Jordan_U, thats the proprietary driver and it doesnt work
XiaolinDraconis: No, b43 is the open source driver.
Jordan_U, my apologies, i just realized i had the STA no internet page open
XiaolinDraconis: np :)
hey guys
Jordan_U, ive already gotten the fwcutter package like these instructions mention but the "install" button in software center will not let me click it
plasma desktop is very buggy, if I want to use traditional full desktop, what should I install ?
lkthomas-home: x/l/ubuntu-desktop
which one is KDE ?
Jordan_U, strike that, i see why
any help with linux kernel 3.5.0-17 problem with rt2800usb wireless driver
XiaolinDraconis: if you have manually gathered up all the dependencies you can install them with dpkg
dsprc, thanks thats the step i just got to
works fine with 3.2.0.32
bekks: I don't want to use plasma workspace, any other KDE desktop I could use ?
lkthomas-home: There is only one KDE desktop.
Wols and Jordan....I need the help in video of which I send the link at timestamp 6:12 author use the scp..can you help me to understand that command: root@bpayne-Virtualbox64:/#  scp bpayne@10.10.10.129:/home/bpayne/bench.c
bekks: it's all replaced by KDE plasmaworkspace ?!
talpur: That command is invalid - at least one option is missing.
lkthomas-home: Starting with kde 4.x, plasma is the default desktop.
bekks: is that possible to NOT use plasma ?
root@bpayne-Virtualbox64:/#  scp bpayne@10.10.10.129:/home/bpayne/bench.c .  bekks now see
talpur: scp user@server:/path/to/remote/file   /path/to/local/dir/
talpur: It securly copies the file /home/bpayne/bench.c from the host 10.10.10.129 to your current directory.
lkthomas-home: No.
lkthomas-home: Just use another desktop environment.
thanks bekks....its not working I try it agian
bekks: or not use one at all. framebuffer console is quite comfy.
hi .. you know whta vesrion of glibc is in ubuntu 12.04 and 12.10?
bekks is for local server for the user bpayne or from my prompt I also use the same cammnad...
talpur: I dont understand you last comment.
Okey! I now have the dmesg http://pastebin.com/82CjMKA2 and screenshots http://i.imgur.com/eRZBZ.png
crap, whenever I click "Page One" on plasma desktop, it hangs
talpur: see my last comment. the 'user@server' would be your login on the remote system
Jordan_U, Still there?
Zlasher: Yes.
Jordan_U: I now have the dmesg http://pastebin.com/82CjMKA2 and screenshots http://i.imgur.com/eRZBZ.png
Zlasher: It looks like there was a hardware failure.
I think it's a driver issue
Zlasher: Are you sure that the SD card and the SD card reader are good?
Is there any way to check the sectors of the sd card?
Zlasher: Not likely, all SD card readers present themselves as USB Mass Storage devices, and the drivers for those are very mature.
Zlasher: You can use a command called "badblocks".
I've used the reader with a smaller card a long time ago
Jordan_U, is step 3 of those instructions expecting me to extract the tar to /lib? so far the instructions say to extract to home folder but then step  3 says to run the command on a file in /lib
And the card in another reader just a couple of days ago and it worked fine
hi, where i can simply add scripts that i want autorun on system up
Zlasher: I've personally had a lot of bad luck with SD cards.
Jordan_U, Oh! I almost forgot! I installed Ubuntu on this card with another computer not long time ago, but that time the Grub installation screwed up my windows drive
Jordan_U, Lot's of people say that and I can now do the same xD
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2075349
XiaolinDraconis: That is correct, the firmware needs to go into /lib/firmware/ for the driver to be able to find it.
Zlasher: It can't hurt to confirm with badblocks (while the option for a read/write test could add wear to the card, the default read-only test shouldn't).
Jordan_U, thought that was the case but i tend to follow instructions to the tee, when i understand them that is. thanks for the info
XiaolinDraconis: You're welcome.
XiaolinDraconis: Wait, I may have misunderstood your question. The instructions as written are correct.
guys, does KDE have anything for social networking like facebook widget ?
Jordan_U, ill double check what i am reading and get right back to you
XiaolinDraconis: You extract the tar to the current directory, then b43-fwcutter reads the driver from the current directory, extracts the firmware from the driver, and saves the firmware in /lib/firmware/ .
Zlasher: Can you pastebin the output of "sudo blkid"?
when I use the commnad this Error Occurs. root@talpur-Inspiron-1564:/# scp bpayne@10.10.10.129:/home/bpayne/bench.c .
ssh: connect to host 10.10.10.129 port 22: Connection timed out
Jordan_U, When I do the installation? Or now?
Jordan_U, ok so ill need to cd into the directory and run fwcutter command on the file?
Zlasher: Now, just so that I can confirm the device name so I can give you an exact badblocks command.
Jordan_U, ok cd wouldnt be necessary if i extract it to home
Hi community can u help me to recognize the reason of Error root@talpur-Inspiron-1564:/# scp bpayne@10.10.10.129:/home/bpayne/bench.c .
ssh: connect to host 10.10.10.129 port 22: Connection timed out
XiaolinDraconis: No. Follow the instructions exactly as given and it should work.
talpur:what os/distro are you running on 10.10.10.129?
llutz: I follow the Video on youtube for Gem5 image file using qemu
talpur: you have installed ssh-server there and checked it is running? you have a user named bpayne on that host?
the author of video said using bench marks he built is running
any shortcut key for search and launch on kde 4.9 ?
llutz: no my user name is talpur...So what will be my command on my system...how check the server as already said me bekk:
Jordan_U, http://pastebin.com/LpPkgGhv
talpur: login at the server, run "sudo lsof -i :22". you want to read some basic tutorials on ssh/sscp usage aswell
scp*
talpur: blindly typing what you see in an obscure youtube-video won't bring you anywhere. try to _understand_ what the guy does
Guys, I would like ask a question regarding ext4. Do you consider it mature enough? I read news about some bug related to ext3
sorry it should be some bug related to ext4
my micro and speaker doesn't work.  i yesterday  install ubuntu. what i must do with it
llutz: thanks for your valuable suggestion
Zlasher: I'm going to guess from that that your SD card is /dev/sdb, but it's not clear from that output.
Jordan_U, It is
Zlasher: OK. Try running "sudo badblocks -v /dev/sdb".
how I check the IP of my system from command prompt
talpur: ip addr show
apg: ext4 is stable and fine. if you refer to the latest ext4-bug, you want to read about the conditions it _may_ occur and how big the chances are, that you will be affected by it. also there's a bugfix out
llutz: it shows the big detail...I couldn't recognize my system Ip....sorry to bother u again and agian
talpur: what iface are you using?
terminal based
talpur: eth0,wlan0, ppp0? ip addr show eth0   <- replace this by your network-iface in use
thanks llutz:
Jordan_U, stuck at step 4, opened additional drivers and nothing shows up, the broadcom file was copied to my home folder and i copied and pasted the 2 commands
talpur: or just watch the output from before, search the block containing your iface and search for "inet..." theres an ip-address shown (most likely)
XiaolinDraconis: Try simply using modprobe as they explain for LiveCD/USB environments.
Jordan_U, Does badblocks output bad blocks?
how to pinch zoom in ubuntu
Zlasher: Yes.
Jordan_U, Then I have a *** load of bad blocks
The buffer is filled
Zlasher: That confirms it then.
Jordan_U, Is there any way to test this on Windows too? Do you think cygwin can run badblocks?
Because my other computer, the one were the card ran fine, is running windows
Zlasher: I am sure that there are equivalent utilities on Windows, and badblocks itself is probably available via cygwin also.
Zlasher: For that though ask in ##windows.
I'll test that too
Big thanks!
I'll leave for lunch now
Jordan_U, you are a genius. thanks for the help once again
Jordan_U, my girl will be happy she doesnt have to use windows anymore
I completely agree with snoozie! Thanks for sharing you knowledge!
snoozie: You're welcome, though I don't remember at the moment what I helped you with :)
XiaolinDraconis
snoozie: Ahh. You're welcome :)
how to make bittorrent as default program?

where do i find the ubuntu merchandise design files
looking for scripting help
Ritlee, so ask the question
Ritlee,  I am not much with scripting, however, if no one here has any helping advice you can also try the ##linux channel
sonic_ was mucj nicer :)
Ritlee: #bash  for bash-scripting help
Ritlee, if you don't ask a question, you are unlikely to get much help :-)
ahh ty llutz
lol sorry was pasting the script into pastebin
so I have a conditional in there and I wan it to work with this condition or that condition
http://pastebin.com/182wzQf8
Ritlee, what do you mean?
Line 8 is where the condition resides
I would like to have one or the other condition to work ie, [[ $file1 =~ S(..)E(..) ]] or [[ $file1 =~ (..)x(..) ]]
for the ONE condition if it's true I continue it with && but I want if this condition is true or that condition is true
( [[ $file1 =~ S(..)E(..) ]] || [[ $file1 =~ (..)x(..) ]])
Ritlee: That code is frankly almost unreadable. Please add comments, use $() instead of ``, and unless you have something preventing you from doing so replace your while loop with "for file in *.mp4 *.avi; do".
with the () surrounding it I can continue the && ?
if I choose a partition for the bootloader, is the mbr then untouched?
Ritlee, yes
hey guys, i just added a few commands to my rc.local but doesn't seem to work
can anyone take a look at this and tell me what I did wrong? http://pastebin.com/ayfzwwNj
I'm installing ubuntu aside arch linux and I prefer to add the grub entries myself
exan: You did not use absolute paths for your commands.
exan: try bash -xv /etc/rc.local to troubleshoot
slopjong: The partition table will still be changed if you add/resize any partitions, but the boot code won't change. Why don't you want to change the MBR though (The MBR is the correct place for grub's boot sector).
i already created it in arch
thank you, both of you
bekks, can you explain what you mean please? I'm new to this.
exan: MasterOfDisaster: whe the rc.local is executed, there is no environment, and no $PATH set.
Jordan_U, because there's already a bootloader
exan: Use /usr/bin/python instead of python. Use the full path.
oh right. even the sabnzbd command didn't work
slopjong: What bootloader? Why do you want that bootloader in the MBR rather than grub?
usually that's all I have to type into a session
grub2 ;-)
exan: and don't forget, it
's running as root
Ritlee, [[ 1 == 0 || 2 == 2 ]] also works
Ritlee, with the || in the test
MasterOfDisaster, does that mean sab would be started as root user?
exan: yes
exan: correct.
oh I don't want that. thanks
maybe back to the drawing board..
exan: you could use sudo -u <user>, but I'd suggest launching software at user logon
Jordan_U, there's no option "none" so I have to choose the most appropriate select option in my case
slopjong: If you're using grub as your primary bootloader anyway then you don't need a boot sector anywhere, you can (and should) load grub via multiboot rather than chainloading. So for that case it makes sense to tell Ubuntu's installer to install grub's boot sector to a partition, not because you'll actually every *use* that partition's boot record, but as a way to get it to create a /boot/grub/core.img without complaining or ...
exan: e.g. .xinitrc, .kde/Autostart/*, etc.
... modifying the MBR.
MasterOfDisaster, I'm running ubuntu server so I don't ever logon except via ssh
anyone know how to get a working screenshot taker ? lubuntu 12.10, i tried 3 of them but they wont 1. use hotkeys or 2. crop the picture from selection..
ok thanks for the confirmation that the mbr remains untouched :)
slopjong: Then indeed, your Ubuntu partition is as good as "none".
exan: ok, then sudo it is. have a look at upstart as well, launching a service that way is piece of cake (/etc/init/*)
marcus,  there are a few out there including gimp,, let me check
slopjong: You're welcome :)
screenshot taker, not screenshot editing software..
marcus,  gimp also takes screenshots  but hold on
marcus: I'm using ksnapshot
MasterOfDisaster, I just looked at upstart.. looks promising, thanks :)
marcus,   mtpaint takes screenshots for one
k i try if any work..
exan: it's the ubuntu way of launching services, so this is to be prefered over traditional system v or rc.local
marcus,   here is a link to read   http://www.lubuntutips.com/2011/12/lubuntu-screenshots.html#.UJY9yXZhNTM
MasterOfDisaster, thanks for the tip :)
marcus,  I have seen mtpaint mentioned a few times for lubuntu screenshots
marcus,  I am installing it now to test
coz_: Pressing "print screen" on your keyboard should trigger the default screenshot application.
kk, im trying the tutorial, @master~ ksnapshot didnt work with print screen...
bekks,  yes it should,  he will need an editor however for croping etc
buongiorno a tutti
coz, i want no gui to start, auto cropped and prt screen, possible ?.. :{ to capture fast in games
MarcelT3,  ttesting it now but cant find screenshot option,, are you runniing compiz?
MarcelT3,  sorry
marcus that was for you
kk
dont know
i use scrot on print screen, but dont know autocrop :{
marcus,   mm,, I know compiz has a cool screenshot tool ,, drag over the area to be captured,, and gimp,, also,, gimp 2.8 but you need a PPA  for that
i have gimp
2.8.. xd
??
Hi all
marcus,   I think under File --> Create --> Screenshot,, but let me check gimp 2.8 here hold on
Hi comunity I am trying to copy bench.c from the remote user ip 10.10.10.129 I know the user name but when I use the command scp username@10.10.10.129:/mycomputer/ bench.c .          now error occurs ssh: connect to host 10.10.10.129 port 22: Connection timed out
spricht hier einer deutsch
ok, possible fast ?
marcus,   it works fine in gimp,, and fast  and it opens immediately in gimp for edition
marcus,   editing rather
ok thanks
talpur: Your host 10.10.10.129 does not provide a SSH server.
need auto edit XDD
mm
marcus,  out of curiosity,  in terminal    type   compiz  --version
Bekk:..So what should other way to copy from that host if doesn't have ssh
compiz not installed
marcus,  ah ok
bekks: So how I get copy of that file,,any alternate
u think wine works??
marcus,  for screen shots?  no  unless it can install a windows screenshot tool which i wouldnt recommend
Hello, on my Ubuntu VPS I am having a problem starting a program. I run ./name_of_program and it says it's not found. I'm in the directory it's in, and I have chmodded it to 777 but still it wont run. What should I do?
chmod +x
to make it executable
Gadwin is pretty good, i used it, i will try
talpur: you have to setup a ssh server on the box you want to copy files from.
TuxLof: Still says it's not found.
talpur: Whats the IP of your computer?
seems to work, but how do i remove scrot ? it says when removing : removing following packages, lxde-desktop scrot
the default window manager just makes me aggressive
marcus,  you can reinstall lubuntu-desktop    .. did you use  sudo apt-get remove scrot  ?
yes
but i didnt press y
marcus,  ok
gui wont dissapear ? :[
marcus,  scrot is default install//yes?
yes
marcus,  out of curiosity,  why Lubuntu?
it's great
:)
its quick, i hate the lag on ubuntu gnome :{
 what's about linux mint
marcus,  understood
lag 2 / 3 computers..
sorry about that
ok, i will try uninstall ty man..
bye XD

Hi
How do I detect my wireless card if the interface reports that the device doesn't exist?
I am in agony. Real Pain. I need help with ubuntu "custom install" or rather help with the advanced partitioning tool @ install. I have tried it about ten times and everytime after install when grub loads it gives all sorts of errors, things like no drive @ location or please insert drive. I believe it has something to do with my choices of partitions rather than my setup and the fact that I want to use btrfs
i am using this command for local port forwading: ssh -f amitsingh@10.22.254.75 -L *:9903:10.22.254.75:22 -N and getting following errors: bind: Address already in use;   channel_setup_fwd_listener: cannot listen to port: 9903;   Could not request local forwarding. Can anybody help me?
bond___: That named port is already in use.
bond___: Either find out why it is used (lsof -i) or use another port.
bekks: i changed it to many.. and i crosschecked it through netstat command also
wiehan: Where did you tell the installer to install grub's boot sector, did Ubuntu's installer give any error messages, and what is the exact error message from grub?
Hi Jordan_U. My setup: hda (1 TB); hdb (ssd) - So I want my /home obviously at sda1 and my / @ sdb1. Then I install the MBR on sda.. Which of these may and may not be btrfs? I understand that btrfs is better for ssds as that certain 'flags' are automatically set for use on such a drive and that for ext4 one has to do effort post install to optimize it better
wiehan: You should not use btrfs for anything thats important. /boot and /btrfs should not be on btrfs, /home neither.
wiehan: They can all be btrfs, but understand that btrfs is still experimental and if you want a stable reliable system it's probably not worth it to use btrfs yet.
Jordan_U, I can't remember the exact error messages: The first time it 'booted' to a grub recovery console after an uncertain error message about cannot find drive with uuid awe123uie123 (or something alike) and the second time it was just "cannot find drive, please insert drive" - ubuntu installer gave no problems
And those "flags" you talk about are the same as "discard" for ext4.
wiehan: grub never asks to insert a drive, so that must have been something else printing that error.
hi all
Jordan_U, yeah I know, it must have been a problem with the MBR and the ?bios printed that last one? I don't know
bekks: No, they aren't. btrfs's ssd mode doesn't even change discard settings (as online discard can perform very poorly with some drives).
Jordan_U, bekks let's simplify this: something went wrong with the following choices: sda1 /home  btrfs, sdb1 / btrfs; MBR on sda... why did this not work?
wiehan: I would need to know the exact error messages from grub, and probably also see boot info script output, to tell you.
or rather, what should I change for this to work? Make another /boot partition in the sda with ext4?
Jordan_U, the one I got most of the time was: Cannot find device with UUID xxxxxx then next line: grub>
wiehan: What version of Ubuntu did you try to install?
Guys, how do I get Ubuntu to detect my wireless card? It never gets detected on boot up, and only works once I switch back from a Windows boot.
wiehan: Because grubc cannot be loaded from btrfs as far as I know.
12.10, Jordan_U
bekks: Grub can read btrfs.
Jordan_U, isn't it that / may be btrfs but /boot must still be ext4
wiehan: no
wiehan: grub has full support for btrfs, including /boot/.
Jordan_U, should the MBR be on sda or sda1?
wiehan: definitely sda.
wiehan: Well, sda or sdb, but certainly not a partition like sda1 or sdb1.
Jordan_U, and for some reason the advanced partitioning tool left 1mb free space before the sda1 partition (this cannot be avoided)
wiehan: That's because aligning to MiB boundaries is the right thing to do for performance reasons.
Jordan_U, thanks I am learning a lot now; One more thing: what fs is the "best" for use on a ssd?
<wiehan> http://www.howtogeek.com/62761/how-to-tweak-your-ssd-in-ubuntu-for-better-performance/
wiehan: Right now, for most use cases, probably ext4.
thanks

hi
I need help seeing my GUI again in Ubuntu 12.04 LTS with Unity. On my primary account, I have suddenly lost my deskop environments (GNOME/Unity -- including the GNOME fallback) after a hard reset. On this secondary account, however, all is fine. Any assistance?
Hi guys... I want to mount /dev/sda to reinstall grub but it asks me partition type? What should I put? In sda I have Windows and Linux, so should I choose ext4?
fairuz_: are you sure you want to mount /dev/sda?  And not something like /dev/sda1?
jrib: That's what I'm thinking too
Robr3rd: what does it mean to "lose my desktop environment"?  You can still choose them at login, right?
But if I want to re-isntall grub to sda, which sdaX should I mount?
hi all. I dont know what is wrong in my ubuntu 12.04 (newly installed), but when I login in it hangs alwais
fairuz_: the one that contains /boot
jrib: I'm on Live DVD right now
jrib: So the Ubuntu partition?
clear
fairuz_: if that's where /boot is
jrib: I'm sorry, that was quite vague wasn't it... Yes, the login manager (lightdm?) still works perfectly, and my current account works just fine as well, however the *other* account on my system (the only one that ever gets used, actually) does not draw the desktop environment upon logging in. However, keyboard shortcuts DO work, though the file menus are in the windows -- not in any global menubar.
goof night
jrib: So the grub will be installed to MBR of sda right? not on sdaX whichever has /boot?
jrib: So we've got a desktop without a shell or DE, basically. Programs still launch via keyboard shortcuts, but no prettiness beyond that. (themes still work fine, also)
how can i find what a icon on my dock bar points to?
fairuz_: follow the instructions to restore grub on that first link ubottu gave
ok thanks jr
Robr3rd: are there issues with environments other than unity?  Check ~/.xsession-errors for the account in qusetion
because i'm updating a program
jrib: No other environments work. Tested includes: Unity, Unity2D, GNOME, GNOME Classic, GNOME Classic (No Effects) ---- I'll post the X errors online and link you shortly.
but i don't know where the program is installed
i found it -- it is ~/apps/foo/
now i just need to 'repoint' the dock item
jrib: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1331724/ I also tried "unity --replace"/"unity" and "compiz --replace"/"compiz" in a virtual terminal but of course it failed because it had nowhere to display. Additionally, I saw that "unity-panel-services" had an issue so I tried to install it from a virtual terminal, but the package could not be found.
jrib: At this point I seek advice before my adventures lead to accidentally furthering the desctruction
Does anyone use AWS? and if so is there an associated IRC Channel for general Q&A?
"We failed, but the fail whale is dead. Sorry" thanks devs.
ty
Robr3rd: if there's nothing obvious in ~/.xsession-errors, just start renaming dot direcotries and see which one makes a difference (start with things like .compiz, .config, .gnome*, .gconf*)
directories*
jrib: *nods* Fair enough. Will return when results are found.
Robr3rd: I have to leave, sorry
jrib: Ah, alright. Well, thank you! Hopefully this will get me on the right track. :)
Robr3rd: only other thing that you might need to be do (and should do first if it hasn't been done) is an fsck, but this should have happened automatically when you booted
jrib: I'll try a manual one anyway just to be safe. Thanks
Robr3rd: alright, good luck.  *out the door now*
ok -- could i at least know the name of the icons on the left to websearch (are they hoticons or something)
i just need to repoint it
suspiria
Hey guys.. hmm ifconfig only gives lo and wlan0, does it mean my ethernet is unsupported? Or is there any ways I can enable it?
fairuz: can you show a "lspci" in a pastebin?
I use Cinnamon on Ubuntu 12.10. It work's pretty good! ;-)
don't lie sara
k1l: Hmm how can I do that if both ethernet and wireless are not working. :(
I don't have eth0, and wireless keeps asking password
So I need to fix one of them first. :)
ethernet not working is quite unusual. at a terminal type "ifconfig eth0 up"
hi
hi
crimsonmane: ok will do
is there some pdf viewer that shows me the ending of the last "page" when i press page down?
or is it scroll down in english?
Okular?
my problem is as follows: i read a book and when i am at the ending of a page i press the key "page down" but there are still several sentences of the old page.
irocksu: in your PDF viewer click View at the top menu bar, then select Continuous
crimsonmane: I have, but you still get 1-5 lines of the "last screen page"
irocksu: acroread?
usr13: I use acroread
O
crimsonmane: no such device :(
i want an indication of where the last screen ended (a visual line perhaps)
irocksu: Not sure what the problem is.  Seems to work ok for me.
usr13: I reread some of the sentances of the old screen.
fairuz_: does 'ls -d /sys/class/net/eth*' list anything?
irocksu: it'll take a bit of practice, but you should really just look at the last lines of the page, hit the button, see where it moved to. it moves a consistent number of lines every time, so then just start at that appropriate line.
crimsonmane: i will try that. thanks
irocksu: Doesn't do that to me.  Maybe there is an anomaly in the document you are reading.
MasterOfDisaster: no such directory
howdy all
hey
fairuz_: chances are that linux was unable to detect your network card. run 'lspci | grep -i network' to find out which one is in your computer.
fairuz_: google should tell you from either the text or the pci ids which driver linux uses, check that it's loaded with 'lsmod | grep <modulename>'
MasterOfDisaster: Is it indicating missing correct driver?
fairuz_: I don't think so. I guess it's just not being loaded automatically.
fairuz_: well, what card do you have?
Hi!
Why is opera not included in repos?
ElixirVitae, because it's not open source
ElixirVitae: use opera's own repo: http://www.opera.com/support/kb/view/841
MasterOfDisaster: Atheros
fairuz_: sure that's not your wifi?
but it says "no longer"
does that not mean once upon a time it was included...
live not in the past.
make not funny faces
fairuz_: which ubuntu release are you using?
MasterOfDisaster: 12.10
pst .... over here... got a secret for you ... yer not supposed to use new releases because they're buggy... stick to LTS
:)
I thought new releases has all the drivers from previous releases?
no
fairuz_: try installing this: http://www.ubuntuupdates.org/package/canonical_kernel_team/quantal/main/base/linux-backports-modules-cw-3.6-3.5.0-18-generic
MasterOfDisaster: ethernet controller: atheros AR8161
fairuz_: not always
lspci | grep -i eth gives that
Ok, I have a bug in Quickly (the ubuntu-flash-game template doesn't work), and it's fixed in Quantal. However I don't want to upgrade to Quantal. Can I expect this bugfix to come to Precise?
ubuntu and other distros could be more clear that using a fresh release is the same as volunteering to beta test and bug report
theadmin: depending on the bug and patch
fairuz_: you'd need to download it on another computer, copy it there and install it with 'sudo dpkg -i foo.deb'
theadmin: if it will pull a new version with new features i dont think so
fairuz_: this is what the mighty google coughed up: http://askubuntu.com/questions/165192/how-do-i-install-drivers-for-the-atheros-ar8161-ethernet-controller
iceroot: Well... Hm. I see the status for Precise is "fix released", but what exactly does that mean?
theadmin: that the fix is already in the package from 12.04
As in... It's still broken on my machine. lol.
theadmin: if not please leave a comment on the bug that it is not fixed for you in 12.04
iceroot: Will do
theadmin: also have a look if the fix is in the proposed repo (which is not enabled by default)
theadmin: packages.ubuntu.com
iceroot: Never mind, they say it's in -proposed, guess I'll have to wait a few days before it comes down to the main one
theadmin: yes
Hi  guys, i'm having problems with the updates?
MasterOfDisaster: So basically I have to compile it on another PC first?
theadmin: proposed is the "testing" repo
When I add third party repos, they are not listed in software center but listed within synaptic, no?
That solution assume we have internet on the PC
I though software center was also kinda frontend for apt...
ElixirVitae: they are listed in software center
iceroot: Makes sense then, seriously though, the software-properties tool calls repos some weird names... Is it "Unsupported updates" or "Pre-released updates"? :/
fairuz_: download the thing, copy it to the bad computer, and do the steps over there.
Hmm, I did something wrong when I added repo to the synaptic then
ElixirVitae: or maybe you need to apt-get update
theadmin: the second
fairuz_: whould be compiled alright
Hi can I update the Kernel
fairuz_: *should
RyanLWilliams: apt-get update ; apt-get upgrade
For Ubuntu 12.04 LTS
upgrade your kernel: http://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?f=42&t=40185&sid=fb1f2339e37e92e120cf0203bbb515ac
iceroot: k, thanks, I'd rather just wait though :)
I thought synaptic does that automagically, when I select apply
* ElixirVitae knows better now.
otherwise upgrade your kernel with sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
MasterOfDisaster: Both of the commands
ElixirVitae: oh. it might. idunno
RyanLWilliams: Dont use a mainline kernel unless you exactly know why you need to do so.
bekks: How's you mean
apt-get upgrade does not include kernels. apt-get dist-upgrade does. and RyanLWilliams he means dont follow my link
MasterOfDisaster: I compiled that thing. And I got 2 ko's
compat.ko and alx.ko
I need both?
fairuz_: yes
MasterOfDisaster: ok
I will try to send to the bad PC and load it from there
fairuz_: eh... why compile? there is a ubuntu package man...
that PC don't have internet
fairuz_: yeah, so? you have to copy the .ko files too, don't you?
I can copy using USB drive
fairuz_: and the one you're chatting from has internet...
Well MasterOfDisaster I already compiled it so.. it's ok
:)
How to download only the deb ? I only know apt-get install that will install it to the host

MasterOfDisaster: deb from the link you gave me gives dependancies not satisfied.. I realize that it's for 3.5.0-18 while the 12.10 kernel is 3.5.0-17.
yeats: and Kernel
ah I see, can't help there.
RyanLWilliams: the program is called "support"?  (for the kernel, please see ubottu's messages)
I feel so awesome that I'm running kernel 3.5desu~
yeats: Right ok
fairuz_: ok - you should compile the modules on the target system though, otherwise you'd have to load them with modprobe -f
eh, insmod -f
MasterOfDisaster: The one I already compiled is compiled on teh same 12.10
same kernel
So it should work right?
I will try with these ones then.
I guess so

Kernel Update, Can I install it myself?
hello
yes,sure
ubottu:  Kernel Update, Can I install it myself?
RyanLWilliams: can you rephrase your question?  What's "Kernel Update"?
Hi all. My problem: i installed ubuntu12.04 on a laptop with nvidia graphics. At the first access to the system, i got many "system errors" (no other specification given by the window)... I found out it was about jockey-gtk, the applications that checks for propertary drivers. I installed nvidia-current by apt because jockey won't load, and the system became inusable. Now I installed ubuntu once again, i'm back to the errors... What can I do to 1)
 don't have these errors, 2) use nvidia-current ?
yeats: update the kernel for my system?
RyanLWilliams: The update manager will offer updates when they are available in the software repositories
RyanLWilliams: APT should take care of that automatically
IdleOne: Right
yeats: yeah how do i do that?
quatar: open a terminal/shell, and run try 'sudo apt-get install -yf'. that should fix APT.
RyanLWilliams: 'sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade'
MasterOfDisaster, why should i fix apt? I think apt is working...
quatar: I'd suggest not running apt with -y
Hi. I'm running 12.04 in a VM. Why would the screen resolution only be correct when I enter Unity?  gdb isn't correct.  nor is xmonad.  It's only when I log into Unity that the resolution is corrected.
quatar: sorry, I'm not getting what the problem is then.
quatar: try running 'jockey-gtk' from the command line to see what the errors actually are?  (not sure I have a good grasp on the problem)
if nothing happens and don't update can't i get the latest version of the kernel and install it myself
quatar: first step is to checksum your cd
RyanLWilliams: why would you want to do that?
jrib, checksum is? (sorry if i'm a n00b :) ).. i'm doing a SMART test right now
yeats, i'll do it in a while
yeats: because my stock kernel is playing up
how would I create a launch-able icon on my launcher for a program I now have to issue a command in terminal to start?

is there a another way to make a wifi AP?
yeats: and deb files too

s/not/note/
yeats: having to download debs here and transfer to other laptop using thumdrive

RyanLWilliams: Why?
yeats: ok this does show bcmwl-kernel-source blah blah blah
yeats: so it's apparently there, but the wireless is not turned on???
bkfitz: okay, so it's installed, but not being loaded probably
yeats: ok :) now what (I really appreciate the help)
yeats, http://paste.ubuntu.com/1331949
bkfitz: not sure - my guess is that another module needs to be blacklisted
yeats: ugh
anyone know how to get AMD Radeon HD 6400/7400 dual graphics Drivers to work?? (lubuntu ))

why does monit status shows "  status    not monitored", the process is there running
yeats, ahah it's wonderful!! I hope it will be the same for me
if i do service monit restart i see the service monitored

hello how do i remoun the root file system in recovery mode to read write? mount -a doesnt appear to do anything

bkfitz: and 'lsmod'?

we have start up applications in ubuntu , in exatly what file it mofifies/uses
*modifies
never mind found the issue
devish: no single file.  It creates .desktop files in ~/.config/autostart/
i tried rc.local for my case but useless for my script but no use but in start up app it works
devish: what's your question?
so what is the thing on the left of the screen called?
never mind answered my own question mount --options remount,rw /
is that the cairo-dock?
and the icons are launchers?
bonhoeffer: unity launcher
thanks
yeats: I'll have to copy paste to txt, copy txt to thumb, transfer here, then upload... will do
jrib: wanted to start one of my app after 30 sec of runlevel start so kept the commandd in rc.local and restarted  my pc but no use although the same thing works in start up application
and do you know how i can change the target of a unity launcher?
bkfitz: ah - ok
devish: what app?
jrib: conky
bkfitz: so no way to plug in via ethernet? no need to explain if not, just wondering...
devish: you should use Startup Applications, why don't you want to use it?
is there a launcher editor -- or a cli way to do it
i am using start up application only now, but i am wondering why rc.local is not working
bonhoeffer: to remove, just right click on the icon and select "unlock from launcher"
jrib: ^^
yeats, then i can edit it?
devish: rc.local would start things as root.  You don't want that.  Also, rc.local will execute things before X is up and you are even logged in; you don't want that
bonhoeffer: edit how?
yeats: nope... tethered to phone at in-laws.... they are planning on getting internet this week... new house
i want to give it a new target
jrib: rc.d?
bkfitz: gotcha
devish: what about it?
yeats: will pastebin your suggestion in a few... trying the firmware-b43 package
jrib: does this also has root access and same story?
~/apps/RubyMine-4.5.2/bin/rubymine.sh to ~/apps/RubyMine-4.5.4/bin/rubymine.sh
should be simple . . .
devish: yes, though it works a little differently
is there a shortcut key to show the desktop?
I have a wubi install of 12.10 on a Dell Latitude ST.  On booting I get a console flood of errors "Bluetooth:  Error in firmware loading err = -32, len = 320, size = 4096 Bluetooth: loading patch file failed".  inputs are unresponsive.  I do not use bluetooth on this hardware, and would rather disable it.
bonhoeffer: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UnityLaunchersAndDesktopFiles might help
bonhoeffer: hold down the super key to see the keyboard shortcuts
yeats: ugh... installing this deb says "is not a debian format archive" https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/precise/i386/firmware-b43-installer/1:015-9
bkfitz: maybe it got corrupted somewhere along the way?
yeats: yeah... trying again :)
yeats: 3.4kb seems awefully small
bkfitz: that was the size it was when I just downloaded it if that helps
yeats: ok thx
bkfitz: the md5sum on my download is 69db16b6be9a28028c04b248edfc206c if that helps

Good afternoon, I have a family member with an old laptop that had Windows XP on it. But since it was extremely slowly I installed Ubuntu 11.04 on it, which was fine until this week, because the support ended.
hello! trying to do some linux server course material here and my current objective is to log kernel messages to a specific file
we got as far as finding /etc/rsyslog.conf but we are a bit lost right now
I hope I could get some suggestions on what to install next, because I fear that upgrading to 11.10 or newer without changing anything will be too slow.
bkfitz: well, I have a broadcom wireless card on one of my machines, and usually all it takes is installing the bcmwl-kernel-source package and rebooting
whats the best method to specify kernel messages to a custom file?
yeats: ok... i guess i'll go down that route instead of installed that tar from source
yeats: back with pastebins in a min
hello people
yeats, after updating/upgrading the system, jockey-gtk is working and (i hope) properly installing the nvidia drivers. Still I get one error on startup but I don't know what it is because the windows hat pops up doesn't show any info
bkfitz: you might also attempt a view of the logs (dmesg, kern.log, syslog) to see if there's an error when loading the module
have a slight problem.. and yes I've been through the forums for ongoing a week.
MrBaccano: try 12.10 and see if you/they like it.  You won't know unless you try.
yeats: speaking of log files, do you know how to solve my problem? :)
quatar: you might take a look at your logs to see if there's anything that jumps out at you
my network connect button greyed out ubuntu 12.04 when i try to reconnect to the wireless network
hey, i've been trying to install xubuntu from my usb stick with the alternate iso. (12.04) When I check my installation media it tells me the checksum isn't correct but when I check it, the md5 matches
MrBaccano: if it's too slow, then try one of the alternative desktops, such as cinnamon, or XFCE
yeats, I used to believe that there are many logs across my system... which one?
MrBaccano: actually, I take that back, try 12.04, as it's an LTS release
viliny: kernel messages by default go to kern.log on ubuntu - you're trying to change that?
quatar: I would start with /var/log/syslog
thx
yeats: the assignment, altough ambigiously worded, wants me to place kernel messages in a custom file
it asks for a password and the connect is greyed out when i input the password.
I guess just trying it would be quite reasonable, which would also have the benefit that I won't have to reinstall, but can just upgrade
I would like to change my mouse coursor theme to black, and I've set up DMZ-Black, but onle the pointer is black, not the hand or the loading animation. In fedora it's all black. How can I change all coursors to black? (Sorry, I'm German)
yeats, unfortunately, now that i installed (via jockey) the nvidia-current and rebooted, my desktop won't load.......
viliny: have you investigated klogd?
quatar: do Ctrl-Alt-F1 to get to a terminal
NikP: logged  out then back in yet?
yeats, yes and what should I do to fix? apt-get remove nvidia-current??
dr_willis: Yes. But only the pointer is black, not the others.
Thanks burdickjp, I have been caught up in looking at ligt-weight alternatives that just trying to see if Ubuntu worked did not cross my mind
is there a file for the network configuration where I can manually edit it and keep the changes
quatar: do 'lsmod | grep nouveau'
yeats: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1332029/
yeats, empty
yeats: I installed the bcmwl-kernel-source, rebooted and then ran the lsmod and lspci
cause every time I reboot I have to input the password and set the type from wep to wpa everytime i reboot the computer.
is there a fix to this ?
hello
any help ?
cat dmesg | grep bc yielded nothing
yeats: we solved it :)
bkfitz: this is a couple of years old, but probably still valid: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=8855603&postcount=3
checked askubuntu.com yet jago_ ?
viliny: cool
hey, i've been trying to install xubuntu from my usb stick with the alternate iso. (12.04) When I check my installation media it tells me the checksum isn't correct but when I check it, the md5 matches
dr_willis: Do you have an answer for my problem?
yeats: nor did kern.log | grep bc
yes ..again I just need to get to the configuration file so that I can manually edit it
NikP: nope.
yeats: /etc/rsyslog.d/50 something default config had places to specify default locations for log files
whats the file ?
viliny: ah - gotcha - I was looking for something like that
so how do I pass kernel options on a wubi install?
dr_willis: OK, I'll ask in an other channel.
quatar: maybe look at /var/log/Xorg.0.log for EE or WW messages that might provide more information?
Hey there. Just a quick question. I'm trying to root my android phone using superoneclick. The guide I'm using tells me I need to have both lib32ncurses5  lib32stdc++6 on my box but I can't find those packages on synaptic. Can I still proceed without those packages? I'm running ubuntu 12.04. Should I post the url of the guide I'm following?
is it just me or does Windows, XP in my case have more disk activity when the system is idle than Linux do?
baltaz4r: not just you, but you'll want to ask about that in ##windows
ok
yeats, no errors in xorg. But in syslog many WARNINGS about too fast respawning of compiz.desktop
baltaz4r:I'm going to say it depends, as I'm running KDE with nepomuk I have a lot of background activity
quatar: ah - well there you go (don't know what to suggest about that, though)

could anyone direct me to a tutorial for that?

hi guys i got a problem
Why should I replace my solid Windows 95 install fon Ubuntu?
for*
everytime i start my  ubuntu it gets a blackscreen (2 min after im logged in  got ubuntu 12)
* L3top lols at solid win 95 install
clemi: that is a problem.. 12.04 or 12.10?
12.04 i believe
what is lols
hanning:  I would write a daemon.
govinda gtfo you troll >.>
win95? what is wrong with wine? :-)
guys seriously he or she must be a troll
piglit: It makes me sleep with ugly people... for one.
sorry I am off topic.
l3top do you know what to do?
what is troll?
Does ubuntu support myy modem?
Well clemi there is nothing you do prior to it crashing, correct? It just crashes? Are you using the native nouveau driver or a proprietary nVidia one?
l3top
hey guys, Ive installed dropbox but its refusing to sync any changes to my folders, it said something about doing a command to max_user_watches and i did that, but its not working. any ideas?
i got a 6950 ati ;)
* L3top doesn't know where he got nvidia from
same question re ATI
radeon or fglrx?
nope
havent installed ani driver
*ANY
Linkandzelda, are you sitting behind a proxy?
clemi: I would. Unity is likely to function a whole lot better on the proprietary driver. sudo apt-get install fglrx.
trowalts: nope, regular home connection
l3top
i tried to but ubuntu crashes after 2 minutes =/
Log in text only
alt ctrl f2 right?
Linkandzelda, then I have no idea, havent used dropbox in a long time and the last time I did I had an annoying proxy that gave issues.
i see
Linkandzelda, the only thing I could suggest (and this is assuming dropbox is working properly) is have a look at read permissions on the folders? also check if you can create a folder through the web interface and see if it will sync that
trowalts: it syncs things down but not up
does xchat has spelling support?
alright guys
im in grub menu
simplew, it does, check 'Edit'-> 'Preferences'
trowalts: and now it works... lol
simplew,  should list the dictionaries you have installed atm
trowalts: sorry, cant do that, im in kde
Linkandzelda, haha, might have had some extra over head before it started uploading, muc like when you copy something on your pc
guys im in grub menu now what do i have to do next?
simplew, I use gnome or cinnamon , cant help with kde
trowalts: did you ever tried kde?
i am unable to get 3d environment in my laptop...i have 1gb nvdia graphic card

Hi all again. Assumed that I have critical issues with nvidia-current (compiz crashes on startup and keep respawning forever, making the entire desktop unable to load), what do you suggest me? nvidia-current-updates? nvidia-173? nvidia-173-updates? something else?
clemi: Did you run update-grub after editing that file?
mee too same problem......nvdia gt 420

i am running ubuntu 12.10 using wubi but now i try to load ubuntu it says
ubuntu failed to remove key from hardware-5
any ideas?
hey, im trying to set up an linux box to basically show certain information on some tv in the office. Does anyone know of a program to make like a slideshow of different windows/workspaces?
xan_: any reason you need to use wubi?
mm after asking this very question I wonder if I could just script the changing of workspaces..
i dont want to totally kill off my windows yet as i am atill learning linux
and im just starting to use Wine
xan_: better to use a vm then
xan_: wubi is a testing platform. You should not seek stability there. You should do a "side by side" dual boot install.
or vm
@wols_    nvdia geforce gt420m....sry i am late ..i am first time here......my frnd saying it doesnt support optimus
xan_: you should set up a separate partition then or use a VM like ThinkT510 said if you have enough RAM
witch would be better dual or vm?
i have 8gb ram
dreamer12345: what laptop?
seriously guys i deleted windows yesterday because i wanted to make ubuntu my mainsystem and now it doesnt work >.>
Dual would have the best performance xan_... and use more of your native hardware.
xan_: more than enough. you can use a 2-3GB VM under Virtualbox for example
xan_: depends on what you do, i'd go for dual boot but a vm is a great way to practice safely
clemi what happens if you DO hit ctrl alt f2?
dell xps l501x
clemi: less whining, more constructive action and replies to people who try to help you. have you managed by now to enter text moed?
+1 ThinkT510
i get in a text mode
@wols_
but dont know if this is the right one?
once i learn how to setup Wine and get all my games working i move over fully to linux
hi
clemi: That is fine. login and sudo apt-get install fglrx
xan_: Wine is no garantuee to get your games running.
thank you
clemi: then reboot
smost of my games are old
dreamer12345: your friend is very wrong.
like rome total war
warcraft
lol
rome total war is my newest game i have got
he has the same laptop
can u give any link plzz..@wolz
for the old old games
ty for the link
dreamer12345: you will want to get bumblebee-nvidia
@wolz.....    its nt supported ...seen in nvdia site
dreamer12345: what isn't?
can i do nything
yes, you can start with your Xorg log as I told you already
dreamer12345: not officially supported, but there is bumblebee
get 3d environment in nvdia geforce gt420m
@wolz ..thanks
dreamer12345: nvidia does not support optimus in linux, HOWEVER there are third party aps that do... bumblebee being the best for your chipset, bumblebee-nvidia allowing you to use the proprietary driver.
grrr.
dreamer12345: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HybridGraphics  and you certainly have optimus. some higher end cpus don't have it with your laptop but yours clearly does as the lspci output shows
@ is not needed on irc and can confuse things. ;-)
MrBaccanoL try Xubuntu 12.10 great stuff
dident nvidia make sone mention of officially supporting optimus on linux in some anouncement a few months back?
reboot
dreamer12345: no. they made an announcement to NOT support it at all
Not to my knowledge dr_willis
I will look though. That would be... decent of them.
i tjought they reversed that here recently
dr_willis: http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=MTE3MzY
and Xorg itself is currently working on multi display support which would make optimus workable under it
They appear to have... thanks for the heads up dr_willis!
where i can find good resource to learning python web?
* L3top expects they have just robbed and modified bumblebee... but still
bbl
quit
L3top: no, bumblebee is just a hack, and a very ugly one. doubt they do it. but they will need Xorg support for it
yeah... just read http://www.pcworld.com/article/261874/coming_soon_to_linux_nvidia_optimus_graphics_support.html
hi guys
ubuntu?
phong_: got an ubuntu support question?
i love ubuntu
i just wanna let you know
ubuntu = host    vmware =  windows client
Trying to learn to enter, save, compile, and run simple C programs on my Ubuntu system.
Elise001: What is your question?
@phong_ I am curious... What do you love about Ubuntu?
Not quite sure where to begin. I want to set up testing environment for simple c programs on this old ubuntu system. I want to learn c better so I can eventually help with open software.
I have a job teaching special ed students days.
Used to program for a living a long time ago.
ubuntu: no 3d for my nvdia
:(
very depressing\
My job could end any time.
Elise001: I would just 'sudo apt-get install build-essential vim', then google 'C programming language tutorial'
From command line?
davelindberg, virii free
all but the google bit, yes :P
davelindberg, fast!
can someone tell me how to upgrade ubuntu to lastest version?
i'm using 12.04lts
i think the latest is 12.10
phong_: what are you trying to get out of upgrading, out of curiosity?
Elise001: yes
L3top, i dont know , base on my thinking, latest always good isin't it/
L3top, maybe something news add on?
well...how to upgrade
phong_: if you're happy on 12.04, no need to upgrade ;-)
phong_: no, thats the windows view of things
phong_: No. Stable is always good. The latest bleeding edge release is not "always" good. Moving from LTS to latest is not clever imho, unless something you have isn't working and you need support for brand new hw that is not avail in LTS... but that is my opinion.
so no upgrade?
+1 I agree L3top opinion
L3top, i have image the current one
L3top, i still love to try out though
how come i dont see upgrade to 12.010
it said ur system is up to date
phong_: read ubottu's link
Hello. I'm having trouble with my Ubuntu install. Can anyone help me?

Hi. How can I isntall the helvetica font for ubuntu12?
I've installed it several times but it still brings up the windows Boot Manager.
Hi #ubuntu
Thanks yeats.
Elise001: sure
yeats, are you in California like me? Just curious.
Elise001: nope - Georgia
phong if you just want to try it, install a virtual machine and load in there inside your stable install.
phong_: upgrading is a one way ticket.
phong_: make sure you've backed your files up too
yeats: thanks
and is there a shortcut for making a screenshot of just a part of the screen?

Deleting any file recursively, that has *.uncompressed.js, is that just rm -rf *.uncompressed.js ?
layke_: nope
-rfR ?
layke_: nope
:P Best way?
layke_: you'll have to use find if you want to delete any file matching that pattern in some directory (possibly in subdirectories)
find ./* -iname uncompressed.js -exec echo "rm {}" /;          remove the echo and quotes to execute. That will just tell you what it is going to do as it sits.
* jrib gives L3top some coffee
er... dont need that *
it seems to be working :)
layke_, L3top: you can just use -delete instead of the -exec there.  Also, layke_ you probably need to modify the pattern being matched with -iname a bit if I understood your original question correctly
Yeah, I'm realising it's not matching at all
Hi guys.. If the wireless driver just detects one signal (other operating system detect a lot more), what is the possible problem? Using Ubuntu 12.10 + broadcom adaptor
I did -exec rm because when I am blowing things up, I like an echo first to make sure I didn't do something stupid.
Okay got it thanks.
ind ./ -iname \*uncompressed.js\* -delete

fakeraid you mean software, yeah..
no. fakeraid. not software raid
Anyone able to help out with wireless internet connection?
I asked the question already but nobody's responded.

Trying to see if there is actually someone around who can answer it.

kongo22: lspci -nn |grep -i net
wols_: Network controller is BCM4321 802.11b/g/n
Any ideas?
phong_: Yes... they are different animals. Ubuntu uses the debian packaging manager(dpkg) and redhat uses the redhat package manager (RPM). This is the fundamental difference which sets the other differences in motion.
Berko: if 'nslookup google.com' returned a list of servers then DNS is working

L3top, and which is better?
yeats: But ping google.co.uk fails...

wols_: It shows information for eth1, eth0 and lo have no wireless extensions.
there goes that theory
wols_: But eth1 has access point: not-associated
kongo22: then there is no wlan interface at all. see the howto ubottu messaged you instead. it has instructions for your bcm4321 chip too
yeats: Yup
Berko: how about 'nslookup google.co.uk' as wols_ suggested?
kongo22: it sounds liket eth1 is your wlan, but not configured correctly.
kongo22, lspci -k will show you the wireless device in the list and if there is a kernel module associated with it.  And if there is, you may just be missing the firmware.
phunyguy_x1: For the network controller, it says kernel driver in use: wl
yeats: That resolves an address...
Berko: what error message does ping google.co.uk  give?
kongo22, try that howto ubotto gave you.  it may give youa link to firmware that seems to be missing or incorrect
can anyone help me with these NFS errors? http://pastebin.com/hYALNWxq
hi, I just updated to ubuntu (precise) and I can't ping myself from other devices on my LAN
can anyone help? Thanks
BKTech86: probably ufw which blocks it
phunyguy_x1: I'm checking it out, still trying to figure out exactly what I need to download. I'll find it.
wols_: ok, what is ufw?
BKTech86, probably a DNS issue
Berko: can you pastebin the output of 'route'?
BKTech86, can you pink it by IP address?
ubuntuaddicted: no,
yeats wols_ : A restart fixed the issue... seemes PING was not working more than the DNS wasen't
Berko: glad to hear it
Thanks #Ubuntu
wols_: ufw status -> "inactive"
ubuntuaddicted: if I'm trying to ping by ip then DNS shouldn't have anything to do with it right?
BKTech86: what happens when you ping the IP
`?
This is the second freeze I've gotten on Ubuntu... I'm not sure what exactly is happening.
wols_: unreacheable
BKTech86, correct, that's why I asked
This time I at least have items on the screen but nothing is moving except the cursor.
Now it's all gone black.
Cursor's frozen as well.
BKTech86, do you normally use a hosts file? does your interfaces file have dns server entries in it?
ubuntuaddicted: i just changed it earlier today
ubuntuaddicted: but again, I'm trying to ping by ip
BKTech86, changed what?
ubuntuaddicted: i changed /etc/network/interfaces
ubuntuaddicted: adding new nameservers
BKTech86, a line like this? dns-nameservers 192.168.0.1 208.67.222.222 208.67.220.220
exactly
BKTech86, hmmm. so you can't ping by IP or hostname? And no firewalls are running?
ubuntuaddicted: but without the initial lan address like in your line
afaik ther are no fws
BKTech86, you can't ping by IP? are you sure all cables are secure? do you use static or dhcp?
sorry got disconnected
BKTech86, you can't ping by IP? are you sure all cables are secure? do you use static or dhcp?
static IP configured in precise, cables are fine, can't ping by IP from another device
tried on 2 devices so far
BKTech861, what does route command show?
BKTech861, you don't have an IP confliction do you?
How do I install a .tar.bz2
kongo22: tar.bz2 is just a compressed folder, like zip files on Windows
kongo22: What are you trying to install?
 blazemore: b43-fwcutter
I couldn't find a regular package of it.
What is the name of the file in which I can configure Ubuntu when it should check for updates and what kind of updates.
On the launchpad site there's a .dsc, .tar.bz2 and .debian.tar.gz
No .deb file, at least not for 12.10
how can I set screensaver and screen lock in quantal? I upgraded from precise, and it's not in settings!
Guest86854: it's called "Software Sources" in the menu but the program is 'software-settings-gtk'
Guest86854: sorry 'software-properties-gtk' - my mistake
ubuntuaddicted: after adding the router to the DNS file and rebooting, the problem was resolved
thanks
yeats,
yeats, thx
BKTech86, awesome.
yeats, would you know what the file name is in /etc?
kind of strange
tbh
but w/e
Guest86854, it may be within /etc/apt/
ubuntuaddicted, thx
Guest86854, maybe preferences or something like that
Can I upgrade from ubuntu 12.04 to Kubuntu 12.10 ?
i can just chmod a-x /etc/init.d/bluetooth to get it to stop loading on boot right?
Why does my Ubuntu keep freezing? It generally happens when I'm trying to use the search on dash home.
I've restarted three times already.
Guest86854, yes. after you upgrade to 12.10, you can then install the kde desktop package
guestpl
ubuntuaddicted, that is the easiest way?
Guest86854, there's no other way to my knowledge
Guest86854: other than re-installing with kubuntu 12.10
* yeats personally thinks reinstallation is easier sometimes than upgrades
can i have newer clang version than 3.0 for ubuntu 12.04(.1) ?
* MonkeyDust always fresh installs because it's easier than upgrade
hi
does a sudo i; echo disabled > /sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone0/mode work for anybody? (I've a notebook with a defective sensor...)
ubuntuaddicted, yeats thx
Okay, I've followed all the instructions for installing a new broadcom driver except the last one.
How do I get to System > Administration > etc.? I don't see that anywhere.
I'm using 12.10
neure: looks like there may be PPAs with newer versions
hello friends
kongo22, what portion of system admin are you looking for?
what version of clang would i get with 12.10?
phunyguy_x1: Hardware/Additional Drivers
neure: 3.0.6
My computer has a bad battery. It goes down a lot.
type that in the unity launcher, kongo22
=P
phunyguy_x1: What is the unity launcher?
is ubuntu 12.04 support efi??
the top button on your unity panel
where you launch apps from kongo22
phunyguy_x1: Okay. That's been causing my computer to freeze frequently.
oh
phunyguy_x1: Also, typing hardware brought nothing up.
hmm same for me
where did it go
phunyguy_x1: kongo22: it's a tab under Software Sources
thanks yeats
Thanks, yeats.
Installing all that stuff did not get my connection to work.
Going to restart to see if it does.
Otherwise I'm not sure what to do.
check your wireless switch on the laptop
:)
It's not a laptop.
oh
i tried.
And I connect to the internet.
layke_, L3top: you can just use -delete instead of the -exec there.  Also, layke_ you probably need to modify the pattern being matched with -iname a bit if I understood your original question correctly
It's just that it doesn't bring up any web pages.
layke_, L3top: erm, oops.  Wrong shell.
kongo22, it sounds like firmware
phunyguy_x1: I'm pretty sure I just installed new firmware...
then you need to reload the kernel module
(or restart)
phunyguy_x1: Yeah, restarting now.
salve a tutti
Still no server.
Not worth it anymore.
Thanks for everybody who tried to help.
to everybody, rather.
yw, kongo22
Does anybody know when there will be an 12.10 package for Retroshare?
heya
Hello friends! I have questions about empathy, can I talk about it here?
dudes how do I make ubtnu remember my desktop session when i startup?
Alexey_prostakov, this is the place.  I can't promise that I can help you though
Linkandzelda, did you install it?
i would like to connect my TV monitor with HDMI to my motherboard HDMI output. Will i have problems with HDCP?
When will there be Ubuntu packages for Retroshare? http://retroshare.sourceforge.net
I mean for 12.10
hdkdl: till anyone package it for 12.10
VLanX, I think that's only a problem with blu-ray drives / blue-ray movies.  For the OS and applications it should work fine.
VLanX, and any movies you download from certain websites through certain protocols should work fine.  It's when you play a blue-ray disk in a blue-ray drive that HDCP is a prob.
Most room from jabber server - jabber.ru have captcha protection. But I don't see captcha (image) or message about captcha in  empathy. How can I join in this room by empathy?
edbian. really? cause i've heard that even HDMI splitter must be HDCP comliant, and that's sad
VLanX, are you using a splitter?
I wonder if that's why my PS3 only works with my Panasonic TV through a cheap crappy splitter
edbian: i might have to buy it to view the same thing on two different monitors
jroa: install what?
edbian: but no bluray player involved
Unable to connect to 127.0.0.1:8081 : can someone help how to get rid of this ..im doing apt-get install or update ..i tried to to the export thing didn't work
VLanX, I'm not sure.  But I suspect it won't be an issue unless you're playing a blue-ray disk
edbian: http://www.ehow.com/about_5623159_hdmi-switcher-problems.html
Linkandzelda are you booting your computer from a disk/usb or the hard drive?
VLanX, well there ya go!  Looks like you know more than I do!
jroa: HDD, and what i mean by remember my session i mean to reopen the applications I had open when i start up again
it remembers the "session" like installed stuff etc
edbian: no i just fount that, i'm reading it now
Oh, never mind then.
edbian: btw i think that i can know only if i try
VLanX, yeah, probably right
Linkandzelda: you useing unity or some other desktop?
dr_willis: using unity atm
i haven't seen a session feature in gnome in ages. they may have removed the feature

Hi, does anyone known of a good netbook that works fine with ubuntu/linux ? I know of the asus eeepc, but it looks like there are not really graphics driver for their latest products...
the forums would also be a good place to look.
my 2 netbooks (1-3 yrs old) wirk fine
What's the syslog thing that does hashing of logs to ensure they can't be tampered with without you knowing?
Let's say I have two drive one 160GB with an old system and a new 500GB. can I just dd if=160GB of=500GB or do I have to "prep" it
?
lhavelund: thanks, but there is nothing about netbook in the hardware support wiki
Hellow how can i changed my root password?, i have already try to  inside grud mode by roobting a system and pressing shift key or ESC . is there any other alternative
tritonx: you could. then use gparted
then use gparted to make it bootable ?
hello, how can I use gksu to start gnome-terminal with some parameters as root and then run series of command on the terminal?
bipul: you set an actual root user password?
and preferably make it so it doesn't have to be in one line
dr_willis,  i don't remember, i am using 12.04 LTS
dr_willis: yes, but it is cumbersom to register to a forum, especially since I don't have a computer of my own right now
tritonx: should boot. but you do want to use the bigger space on the hd. ;-)
dr_willis: what are your netbook models ?
I'll make a partition after with the remaining space
arno_: an asus aspier one and some other i forget
another question , can you mount a drive to a .iso file ?
tritonx: that dosent make sense.
so that I can mount it in vitualpc
during the ubuntu install if the internet connection is lost (when update is selected) could it mess up the installation ?
I cant find ways to use a drive or usb as the host drive
dr_willis: asus makes eeepcs and acer makes aspire netbooks :P
dr_willis: thanks
tritonx: you can use raw partitions in virtualbox. there is no virtualpc
If I could mount /dev/sdb1 to usb.iso , I could boot from that in the vm
hey guys, i'm trying to install ubuntu on a dell inspiron laptop, i went through the whole process, but when i try to boot it goes to a blank screen nothing happens
tritonx: what VM do you actually use?
sorry , same thing :P
tritonx: no it's not
virtualbox
one is outdated...
and no one use it
I use the Oracle one
tritonx: virtualbox manual chapter 9.8.1
tritonx: vbox can boot iso files
anyone very familiar with cairo-dock?
dr_willis: he wants to boot from an existing usb stick
tell me more ... thats why I want to mount my usb or any directory to a .iso...
tritonx: I gave you the manual where it is explained
wols_: also doable. ;-)
dr_willis: booting vbox from real-USB devices? since when?
tritonx: no need for the tricks. you could image the usb to a file and boot it also.. but its not an iso file
how can I use gksu to start gnome-terminal with some parameters as root and then run series of command on the terminal? and preferably make it so it doesn't have to be in one line.
llutz: since forever basically. disk raw access
wols_: USB
thank you wols
llutz: i recall seeing it done
you cant do it in the UI right ?
imageing the usb to a file would be faste4 i bet.
bbl
But I want to test if the drives are working properly
making an iso of them would miss the point

trouble with latest nvidia drivers (selected and installed from "software sources" - [what happened to jockey-gtk?]) after installation there are no window borders and now menus and the resolution is awefully low
How must one install any nvidia drivers? I am using a gtx 5 series card...
GRRR3, sounds like a graphics driver issue. can you tell me what graphics card you have?
i have no idea, ubuntu addicted
GRRR3, can you hit ctrl-alt F1 and login into a terminal session?
nope
GRRR3 can you boot a live session?
GRRR3, so after full boot up and a blank screen, you can't hit ctrl-alt F1?
unfortunately i only haev the alternative install CD, not a live CD
is that the only option for me? to try a live cd?
i don't know its a "full bootup".. it gets passed the bios screen and then goes blank
hello
i am news
GRR3:  it would probably be a good idea to burn a live disk and see if you still have the same problem.
but then i can't install LVM :(
can you teach me ubuntu
but i guess if thats the only option, its worth a shot
any other ideas before i logoff?
how to use
Hello after update to 12.10 from 12.04 I have issues with video driver (NV 8400M GS) nouveau shows lots of artifacts, nvidia-current/-updates simply can't run: glx extension missing, I've linux-source and linux-header-generic installed but that doesn't help. How to get my GPU working?
zgr, dont use nouveau driver ?
guess not. thanks guys
tritonx: maybe I wasn't clear enough but nvidia-current and nvidia-current-update can't run properly
too
fresh install ?
tried different window manager ? xfce ?
glxinfo says GLX extension missing -> no acceleration
cant help you sorry

Hi there.  Can someone tell me if dbus is still in use, or if something else has taken over?
moondoggy: still in use
damned even with proprietary nvidia driver I got corrupted output =(
jrib, you think I should learn that one, or some newer, better system?
moondoggy: what do you want to accomplish?
Well, a few things--check to see if some homemade daemon is running, get data from a fortran program into a python program...
...then more, as I need it.
moondoggy: why not just use pidOF in bash
to get the running program that you are looking for
whoever_, that might be a start.
as for passing data from one program to another?
moondoggy: i think it would be easier in python, although you can do that in java
moondoggy: would depend on what kind of data and how.
Ah, pidof sounds useful.
I'm a python guy...
moondoggy: well there you go
L3top, well, to start,  simple fortran arrays.
how do i find a file using terminal...im trying to find a file called myfile.txt  i do find myfile.txt and it says it didnt find anything i know its in the system somewhere
Hello all :)
I've been writing files from the fortran code, then reading them in the python program, but that gets messy as I do more.
fellayaboy: find / -name myfile.txt -print 2>/dev/null
why -print 2>/dev/null
I am completely stuck in low res graphics after 12.10 and attempting to install nvidia-current drivers throught the additional drivers dialogue in software sources... not even going back to nouvoue fixes it... please please help
moondoggy: why are you reading fortran into python
fego why -print 2>/dev/null
fellayaboy: it will send the errors you get due to not having read permissions on files, to a null bucket
I have an ancient, huge, fortran program, and I wanted to see if I can grab data while it's running.
ooh ok thank you fego
moondoggy: why not create your own  parsere in python and it would'nt be that messy then
...grab it in my python program.
I'm trying to access a port from WAN that has a service running on it on my ubuntu desktop machine... When I check it on canyouseeme.org it shows as open, but when I attempt to connect, the connection times out and the port closes, any help?
Yeah, I have a parser, but I want to make it possible to put something unobtrusive in the fortran to make some variable available via--what--dbus? dmesg?
I don
I don't want to change the output format of the fortran program.
FussyCashew: is your client liseneing for the connection
How do I reset xconfig/xserver???
fego how do i make it scan the whole system? and all its subdirectories... i did the command and im 1000% certain its not going in deep enuff in the ssytem
I just want a decent reolution and my nvidia drivers working - have only had headaches since installing 12.10
moondoggy: where does this fortran program put that information?
moondoggy: so your not really reading the fortran file, your trying to access user enterd data?
whoever_, L3top  is this possible to do?
hello, which is the correct form to install nvidia drivers in ubuntu 12.10  for nvidia gt 540m ? i'm asking because first i already broke my linux, now i reinstalled, it's clean
fellayaboy: the above command line will search the whole system starting from the / dir
whoever_: Yes, it works over LAN, but not over WAN. What I'm trying to do is set up MediaTomb's UI to be accessible over WAN.
and its child dirs
FussyCashew: then check your port forward in your router
can i see if 3D support is enabled or not on my 12.10 desktop ?
ain't nobody got time for broken graphics, low res in 12.10
well for example fego i did ..  find / -iname *.desktop and it returned only a few *.desktop files and i know theres way more i dont get whats up
The particular data I want is not in any output files.  Suppose I have a variable "x" in the fortran program and I want to have fortran put that somewhere, other than a file, where I can access it from python.
whoever_: I've placed my machine in DMZ and tried turning off the firewall on the router.
fellayaboy: why -iname ? just simply -name
whoever_: Also, the ports should be forwarded.
someone ? please?
just in case theres uppercases..i want find to ignore if its upper cases
192.168.0.1
ahh oops
FussyCashew:
two keyboards, sorry
PLEASE.. I have installed and reinstalled the nvidia drivers, I have reverted back to neuvou, I am using a nvidia 500 series card (worked in12.04).. now after just trying to install the latest drivers I am stuck in LOOOOOOOOOW res
same problem here
moondoggy: you need to edit your formtan to output x to a file or add a line to send it to your python program , you need some sort of interface in your fortran to do this
fellayaboy: Recent versions of GNU find seem to have an -iname flag, for case-insensitive name search.
Heh, yeah, that's what I'm looking for.  dbus isn't what I want?
cgn{
wiehan
FussyCashew: try to ssh to that port , just to see if you can connect over WAN
wiehan:
yeah exactly...if the file name is MyFile.txt ..using -iname myfile.txt will find MyFile.txt for me
hi all
i have trouble upgrading 12.04 -> 12.10.  it complains about the file /usr/share/doc/libdrm2/changelog.Debian.gz
moondoggy: if you can make it bark you can wrap the instance in a shell which creates an array based on the captured output and can be manipulated how you want I guess would be the way I went about it... going the other direction could get dicey. #bash might be a better place to get an answer.
fellayaboy: just in case,you wont be able to find the files that dont have required privileges from your user
useless
moondoggy: right, it sounds that your fortran was not witten with expantion in mind so it is all containd in the program and needs a way to get out
but if i use sudo find / i will right?
Oh, a shell for "stdout" that the user doesn't see?
fellayaboy: yes
fego thats false cuz i used sudo and still its not going in deep
What's bark?
moondoggy: that will do pipe to null to make sure they don't see it
I'm having an issue trying to install an EFI-compatible version of Ubuntu on a box alongside Windows. It would seem that the 32-bit version of Ubuntu is not EFI-compatible. Boot-repair suggests installing the 64-bit version, but I can't fathom how that would work, since the 64-bit version is built for the amd64 arch, is it not?
fellayaboy: everytime it works for me :D
wach time
 moondoggy well null is incorrect here but hopefully you see where i am goin'
whoever_: Connection timed out
I think so.  the shell around the fortran get stdout and stderr from the fortran and deals with it, while the user only sees what the shell wants her to?
fellayaboy: when you specify / to find, find automatically searches the subdirs too
whoever_, is that right, what I said above?
If so, I can dig around to figure out exactly how.
Good God. People, I cannot find help with Google. How do I comepletly reset my ubuntu 12.10 graphics configuration
Correct moondoggy

oops
hi all, Ubuntu installer created swap partition on my SSD, isn't that wrong?
L3top, Thanks. whoever_ too.  You mean a bash shell, right?
wiehan, http://askubuntu.com/questions/68306/how-do-i-restore-default-video-drivers
bng_, Can you pastebin a sidudo fdisk -lu
sudi fdisk -lu   sirry
sudo* doh
You mean "dih."
moondoggy: if you pm me and tell me what you want it to do I can probably throw it together pretty quick, or at least give you a good place to start.
Heh.  what command is for pm?  :)
wilee-nilee: it's an LVM logical volume, it is the size of RAM
moondoggy: /msg L3top yourmessage
fego, thanks.
moondoggy  first ask if it's ok to pm
funch: then the problen is how that port is accesed from your router
MonkeyDust, someone just told him to.
lol
I mean, one should not use swap on SSD, right?
bng_, I'm not familiar with lvm, but the swap will be put where you tell it to I assume.
moondoggy: ya that will do
wilee-nilee: that is the thing, I let the quantal installer to take the whole disk using its defaults, I only ticked the lvm and encryption options
bng_, From seeing others comments on lvm it has a good and bad side, did you investigate all its uses and whether it was really applicable for you or just decide to install it?
my keyboard shortcuts on 12.10 sometimes get reset when I restart... what's going on?
emes, I think you have to set them in compiz, did you do it that way?
I didn't investigate all the uses, but they say it should be easier to resize, backup and add partitions to it
wilee-nilee: I didn't investigate all the uses, but they say it should be easier to resize, backup and add partitions to it
wilee-nilee: I set them in system settings
bng_, Cool, you can control the writes to the swap. The general consensus is that a ssd card can take as many writes as a disc type HD now so look for the writing to it control.
hi, I want to install Adobe AIR on ubuntu 12.04, but when I run the bin file, it says the error: execvp: Permission denied
Fodi69, sudo?
emes, unity is a plugin in compiz try it there, I see people commenting on this but I have not seen myself the actual answer to it.
Hi, can gpart on a live-cd remove a partition with an OS on it and extend a different partition with that space, or is that impossible?
hello, is there a way to record audio with a terminal tool? like what you can do with audacity but being able to do that within a script..
Fodi69: have you checked if the executables bit is enabled?
Hattori: arecord
wilee-nilee: don't you know where I would setup the rules for writing? I have enough RAM, I don't think I even need suspending
blastedt, yes you can remove add and move partitions around, but they have to be in numerical order from left to right.
gordonjcp, ok, I think I've tried that before without success
fego: yes
wilee-nilee: will it be nondestructive? im looking to remove a dual-boot and restore the space to one OS. thanks
mindo: yes, everything with sudo
Hattori: that's a shame
because that's what you use
no alternatives i guess?
possibly
why would I bother with an alternative, when arecord works
I wouldn't
Hattori: unfortunately there's absolutely no way to guess what the problem is
;)
based on this: http://www.zoringroup.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=2601 it looks to be relatively simple, but I don't know whether that's out of date
Hattori: perhaps if you can describe the problem you're having, someone can help
indeed, one sec
blastedt, This W7 and you want to remove ubuntu?
yeah... ubuntu crashes as soon as I load it up unfortunately, so I need to restore the space as the HDD is rather small and I allocated half to each OS
blastedt: why not try fixing the crashes?
gordonjcp,  "arecord --quiet --file-type wav --rate=8000 > file.wav" records a wav file that is completely mute.
and the audio is being played from the browser
gordonjcp: I spent six or so hours trying to, got to the point where it turned out the stock video drivers were causing horrible slowdown, and nvidia's cause the boot crash.  I'd keep trying but finals are coming up very soon and I just want the space at this point
Hattori: maybe you should check that you've got the input set correctly, and you're actually recording from somewhere sane
blastedt, Do you have a W7 recovery or install disc or usb to rewrite the mbr?
wilee-nilee: yup, watching a video now on MBR repair
blastedt, This is not a ubuntu install from windows a wubi right?
wilee-nilee: i installed windows first then used the live-cd to resize the partition and install ubuntu while outside windows
not using wubi
hi. i have mobility radeon hd 4650 on my notebook... i'm installed kubuntu 12.10, but in "additional drivers" no drivers for me O_o.. ubuntu 12.04 - all ok...
looks like i need the recovery commandline in windows bootrec /fixmbr bootrec /fixboot
blastedt, Cool boot the recovery or install disc go to the repair terminal and run bootrec.exe /fixmbr  to put windows in the mbr. Check that it boots, if it is good, then boot the ubuntu live cd and remove the ubuntu including the extended leaving a unallocated space. Then use the W7 disk manager to resize windows not gparted.
wilee-nilee: thank you!
boot windows 7 cd.. choose repair and get to the prompt..   c:, bootrec.exe /fixboot, bootrec.exe /fixmbr
for those with ati.amd radeon issues in 12.10 see here  http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Quantal_Installation_Guide

help me guys
is ubuntu 12.10 has bug with display issue?
thanks joint2k - this is helpful. I could only get the open source drivers to work
I'm trying to get an EFI boot of Ubuntu working on my Macbook. I have successfully installed Ubuntu on a partition, and I followed the instructions here (http://mennucc1.debian.net/macbook_linux_efi.html) to create a Grub image in /boot/efi/EFI/ubuntu... but when it boots I just get a Grub prompt. Any Grub wizards in here who can give me some pointers?
Hi, I am trying to set up a dual boot with Windows and Ubuntu 12.10, I have Windows installed, but whenever I get to the partitioning in Ubuntu, it never detects the Windows partitions (shows the HDD as empty which I know it's not) is there something I can try to get this working?
c_smith_, Take a screen shot of gparted a app on the live cd of the HD and pastebin it.
imagebin actually c_smith
wilee-nilee: will do once this disk check finishes.
c_smith, tri using Wubi on windows it will work like a charm.
FlowRiser: Wubi limits me to using 30GB for the install, far too little for what I use Ubuntu for.
c_smith_, I just wonder if the HD is maxed on the primary partitions and this is why.
wilee-nilee: Windows only created 2 partitions, if memory serves correctly, the cap for the number of primary partitions is 4
FlowRiser, Even the designer of wubi suggests not to use it long term. http://howsoftwareisbuilt.com/2009/03/12/interview-with-agostino-russo-wubi-ubuntu/
anywho, gonna log into my main on my tablet so I can let windows run this disk check.
c_smith, i know for a fact windows likes to be first on a hdd so try rearanging your partitions :-?
c_smith_, Correct on the primaries, I would see if the HD shows the windows in gparted or a fdisk -l it couls be a number of reasons why you are not seeing it.
c_smith_, if there is a dmraid controller you could set the nodmraid boot option at other options menu
wilee-nilee, i had no ideea ... i'm gonna do some reading i guess
Anyone here know about macs?
FlowRiser, If needed the wubi can be moved to a partition at your whim.
Ok, running disk check on windows could take a bit.
hello, I have a Z77X-UP7 motherboard from gigabyte, which has a propietary chipset from PLX. It is the 8747 chioset but there are not drivers for it in ubuntu, does anyone know how to find the driver for it?
wilee-nilee, to be honest i would really like a separate hdd for ubuntu :-? I tend to do a lot of stupid things to my partitions....
Im running ubuntu 12.10 everything was working fine I just did some updates and then switched the video driver from x.org to the nvidia driver tested
When I rebooted the desktop does not load
I just see the wallpaper
And if you all are suggesting seperate hard disks, this is a laptop
Mark__, try using the ubuntu 2d see if that helps
FlowRiser, You can do that I believe with the wubi transfer as well.  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MigrateWubi
Hello, i am on a powerpc macintosh G4, i was wondering, how do i even boot into recovery mode? I have forgotten the password of my main user, and i am on ubuntu 12.04 btw
How do I switch since I have no controls FlowRiser .
On the ubuntu for mac, it is very strange and the grub menu does not even come up
Mark__, do you have the login screen ?
T_A_N_K:  you cant use grub on macs
FlowRiser: Yes
then how do i boot into recovery mode?
Mark__, next to your username should be a small button, press it and select unity-2d
T_A_N_K: You need refit
what the mother goose.
Huh??
T_A_N_K, try rebooting and pressing shift
i think it was shift
i can't remember for sure
FlowRiser: He needs refit to boot
Mark__, is refit only for macintosh ?
The Mac won't use grub boot loader because its not mbr
Is there anyone good in in Ubuntu Live CD customization please? I need some help
i see
FlowRiser: I believe so
Mark_, there's GRUB-EFI,
I have chrooted the ISO... I want to install the kernel on my Live CD(ISO) and remove the old kernel
So Refit isn't the only boatloader that supports EFI
FlowRiser: I see no way to switch from login screen
Mark__, hmm, what desktop environment are you using ?
Unity
Mark__, it is right next to your username then in the right side the canonical logo
it just begs to be pressed
Don't see it
"arecord --quiet --file-type wav --rate=8000 > file.wav" records a wav file with audio taken from the mic. how can I specify the source where to take the audio from? if i record with audacity, the sound is not taken from the mic, but from whatever the system is playing. how can i do the same thing with arecord?
Mark__, odd, you need to go into recovery mode and set it manually
c_smith:  I like refit
food, what do you mean by chrooted the iso? have you extracted filesystem.squashfs and then chrooted to it?
Mark__, you need to change the user-session to unity-2d manually, i can't really recall how i did it last time
s.a
kardesler
Mark_, i'm not suggesting you try, just saying GRUB is an option.
hey
Anyone know how to switch to unity 2d on 12.10?
Mark__, http://www.tejasbarot.com/2012/05/17/howto-change-default-user-session-ubuntu-12-04-lts-precise-pangolin-login-session-desktop-environment/
it's all there :D

turkeyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
turkeyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

_cronus_, yeah, I just want to install the kernel 6.5 and remove 3.2 . I am following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomization but i stacked with kernel
FlowRiser: Will that work for 12.10 as well?
Mark__: unity2d was removed from 12.10
hey i want to ssh into a machine in my lan do i have to open that port for that server on my router?>
food, do you get any errors?
ok I'm having an issue getting Nvidia drivers to work on 12.10, I'm stuck in 1024x768 with nouveau and when I install the official ones Unity wont start
fellayaboy: You need to open port 22 for SSH
ThinkT510: Ok so do what the issue is ?
food, ^^^^^^
I'm having an issue trying to install an EFI-compatible version of Ubuntu on a box alongside Windows. It would seem that the 32-bit version of Ubuntu is not EFI-compatible. Boot-repair suggests installing the 64-bit version, but I can't fathom how that would work, since the 64-bit version is built for the amd64 arch, is it not?
usually my router only supports opening one port for one machine...how do i work around this?
Mark__: you tell me, your the one with the problem
fellayaboy: Open 22 only if you're coming in from the WAN.  If on the LAN, then no.
ThinkT510: Switched to nvidia tested driver now desktop won't load
FrozenFire, I would post a thread at the ubuntu forums as well.
Mark__: oh, i don't use the nvidia drivers sorry
_cronus_, i installed the kernel with dpkg -i command but did not able to remove the old kernel. Just to test i generated the ISO but i get error of Kernel Panic
fellayaboy: Go to your router page and access the Port Forwarding page
ThinkT510 : I think im getting the same problem
wilee-nilee, ?
ThinkT510: Is there a way to switch back?
wilee-nilee, There does seem to be a few such threads, but none of them seem to really answer the question of whether a 64-bit version of Ubuntu will run on an Intel arch
food, The bot message on uck
Mark__, you need to remove the drivers then :( i hope you remember what you installed
FrozenFire, Hence your own thread.
Mark__, "sudo apt-get remove *name*"
How do I do that FlowRiser
How can I restart my sound driver without restarting?
(when i unplug-replug my headphones it starts to satic)
Mark__ : do you need to fall back to nouveau?
wilee-nilee, If i use the UCK then still don't i need to install the kernel manually?
FlowRiser: How do I boot into single user?
Turkeyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
FrozenFire, Your issue is only really covered by a few on this channel if you are lucky.
oooooooooooo
leyyyyyyyy
.
What's nouveau
the fall back drivers for nvidia or the FLOSS ones
food, you can install the kernel using apt-get install or apt-get update. then you have to use the same kernel and vmlinuz on the iso's /casper. actually these are the ones that are used when booting from the livecd
I'm having issues install the Nvidia ones so Im stuck witht eh fall back
thanks guys
Mark__, you can't you must go into recovery mode and do it manually
:D
turkey
food, just copy them from /boot of the chrooted environment
FlowRiser: How do I do that?
FrozenFire: "amd64" is 64-bit regardless of platform
_cronus_, you have anything todo with ptp?
any way I need assistance install the Nvidia drivers I get locked in 1024x768 and unity doesn't start
Mark__, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecoveryMode
_cronus_, You mean installing 3.6.5 using apt-get install?
anyone know a quick app to add any app as a startup app?
_cronus_, Perhaps i need to add deb package link to sources.list?
I have a general random freezes on lucyd 2.6.38-16-generic.....the main errors on dmesg are: ACPI Warning: 32/64 FACS address mismatch in FAD.... EXT4-fs (sda5): re-mounted. Opts: errors=remount-ro
Linkandzelda, system settings> startup programs
Linkandzelda : just add the command or locate the binary and add it
anyone can give me a  hand with that? or point me somewhere
brandon420: will the process name do the trick?
yes linkandzelda
Linkandzelda, what are you trying to add? but most likely. Use what ever you would type to start it in the terminal
Question: wicd does not try to reconnect to a wired connection once it is lost, for example if you unplug the wired cable, wait a bit and plug it back in, wicd does not restablish an IP... seems like odd behavior, any ideas on how to fix?
Linkandzelda, The startup applications will not show everything it controls so run this command to add them if you want to tweak it with this e apps as well.  sudo sed -i 's/NoDisplay=true/NoDisplay=false/g' /etc/xdg/autostart/*.desktop
brandon420: just all the apps i want to start, so i'll check it and see if it works with process name lol
food, sorry, thought it was 12.10 kernel. my mistake. forget everything i said. i have no idea.
_cronus_, pm please?
ok Nvidia drivers, Unity Will not start
can I get help?
i'm having a "low graphic mode" issue when booting 12.10 w/out monitor. Is there any way to get ubuntu to remember the last corret configuration?
tsubaki: what have you installed so far. whats the chipset
can someone help me, i am having problems installing a downloaded xampp on my system
its a GTX 460se dr_willis
the nouveau works but is slugish
when I install the nvidia ones compiz will not start and other lovely things
dericmo xamp is not recommended, use LAMP
tsubaki: installing them how?
k, but still how do i manage this?
VLanZ: I had similar problem and adding this to my /etc/rc.local helped: sleep 1 && service lightdm restart
How do I get thr boot menu on the Mac?
dr_willis : I just installed it and its stuck like this
But then I wasn't running a headless system
JimmyNeutron: ok lets see if it works
also when I remove them it goes back to normal
food, i would prefer to keep this public, but if you want ok.
i keep getting the following error: tar: You may not specify more than one `-Acdtrux' or `--test-label' option Try `tar --help' or `tar --usage' for more information.
tsubaki: you used the nvudia drivers from the repos? or the. run drivers from nvidia.com?
I mean how do I get the grub boot menu on Mac os x
dr_willis : I used the ones from the repos first, then the ones from their website and they're both broken
To boot into recovery
hi guys.how can i restore my system to a default installation without formatting my system and losing my data?
Hello anyone know
bcuraboy : terminal, unity --reset
that's all?
and remove all the stuff you installed
hmmm
bcuraboy: depends on what defaults you mean also.
thanks ubottu
i mean like a newer installation
without all the apps i've installed
but non losing my data
thats not very clear...
i mean,my files
remove the programs, the ppa's and run unity --reset
so whatz the difference between XAMPP and LAMP
ok nvidia drivers confirmed for being broken!
just lovely
tsubaki, did you reboot after install nvidia-driver?
yes compiz wont start
Hi, I have installed a wubi on my hp pavilion dv6 but now I'm nearing the capacity of space ( downloading a bunch of source code for android development) how do I extend the space wubi has?
you can't
tsubaki, unity --reset is deprecated in 12.10
it is?
So how can I free up space? Do I have to transfer to a partition?
yup
aquethys, Wubi is for trying out ubuntu not long term use, you can transfer it to a partition, there is a wiki for this.
resizing partitions is extremly difficult unless you did them manually
tsubaki, A wubi is not in a partition.
oh
can someone help me with the link for downloading LAMP
right its installed in ntfs with windows
aquethys: time to do a real install :)
can someone help me with the link for downloading LAMP for ubuntu
Getting strange output when key in at cmd line gcc test02.c
Trying to compile and run simple hello world type pgm in c.
Okay, so on the article: It says
 The examples shown below assume the target partition is /dev/sda5 and the swap partition (if required) is /dev/sda6.
Would appreciate help with this.
Err how do I make sure of this?
Please.
Hello All
test02.c has only a few lines of code.
aquethys, Post the page you are looking at

aquethys, THe commands is to point the move at the partitions you have built, then you put the number of them in the command.
I haven't built any partitions. How do I? Lol sorry
I'm in Ubuntu 12.10 right now btw
Theres 12.10

Yeah
Hey, whats the terminal command to install KDE onto Ubuntu using Sudo?
http://releases.ubuntu.com/12.10/
Elise001: and filenames in linux are case sensitive.. if that may be the issue.
I GRAB LITTLE ASIAN BOYS AND TAKE THEM TO BACK ALLIES WHERE I MOLEST THEM WITH THE ANCIENT ASIAN PEE PEE TOUCH.
aquethys, You have W7?
Yeah
Whats the package name of KDE for Ubuntu?
Like Kde-Desktop or something?
the apt-get
kubuntu-desktop
Ohh ok thanks
ubuntu-desktop i think
I think Ubuntu-desktop is Gnome
Yo.
aquethys, Get a live ubuntu cd and we need to confirm how many primary partitions are on the HD as of now there is a limit of 4 on a standard setup. So get the ISO make a cd or usb and post a screenshot of gparted. YOu will want to use the W7 diak manager to resize it for making partitions with gparted on the live cd.
Im using xubuntu 12.10, how can i change admin password?
k I have a live cd
Gparted screenshot coming
Um how do I access gparted
elbeto, in the terminal passwd  if you know the one there now
aquethys, gparted is app on the live cd.
Um but I can't boot on the live cd because of this error I get when I try to boot from it.
wilee-nilee, i know the password, i want to change it
P
It keeps saying after I hit continue to install alongside windows "Remove all installation media and press enter"
And then it reboots into windows 7.
aquethys, YOU know the boot from menu outside of the bios?
What do you mean? I accessed bios and set boot from CD as #1 priority..
elbeto, passwd in the terminal will allow you to change the user password.
software center giving me these weird artifacts https://dl.dropbox.com/u/25199668/Screenshot%20from%202012-11-04%2015%3A33%3A56.png
For s some reason, when I try to pastebin my source c pgm, looks like it is going to this channel. Then it does not.
aquethys, There is another boot from menu not in the bios, it is reached with key prompts like you would get to the bios, but different, mine is f12 yours may be different.
thanks!
Elise001, YOU have to post the url
ok so I got this bug with my system, any one know a work around? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/compiz/+bug/1068236
wilee-nilee, aquethys: f9-12 are usually the magic bullets
http://paste.ubuntu.com/1332932/
dsprc, sometimes esc could be anything. ;)
saw a few odd (and old) award bios setups that had ctrl as the eject button
Wilee what do you need from me to be able to do this? I'm not sure. :|
aquethys, If you look on the web with your computer model or manufacturer with boot fro menu you may find the keys needed, or post the computer here we may know.
tsubaki-d: install the linux headers for your kernel: sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r);

thanks trism
HP Pavilion dv6-7043cl. Anyone know how to get into boot from menu not in BIOS?
do I just install the drivers after that?
Elise001: what text editor did you use to type in the code?
tsubaki-d: if you already selected the drivers, they should automatically build when installing the headers, so you shouldn't have to do anything but reboot
well im running nouveau right now
tsubaki-d: check: dkms status; after installing though to verified that their status is "installed"
aquethys: Are you asking how to access the boot menu?  F9 for my dv6-7000
okay
Wilee
what do you need
from that menu
trism : can I install the drivers after I install the headers?
Oops >_>
aquethys: try f12. then select the device you wish to boot from
http://paste.ubuntu.com/1332958/
tsubaki-d: yes
ok lets hope this works
aquethys, Your question makes no sense, I am trying to get you to a menu that looks a lot like the bios choice but it is a direct boot in.
yes if I get into the menu what should I do?
That was the output when I tried to use gcc to compile my simple c program. Did I pastebin correctly?
aquethys: we have no way of knowing what the exact names of those devices will be.
aquethys, choose the option accordingly if a cd choose cd if a usb choose usb
okay
is there any way i can view the current automatic Xorg configuration?
Elise001: what text editor did you use to type in the code?... and you did install the 'build-essentials' package?
Elise001: are you maybe using strange unicode symbols in the #include line?
trism: or he used notepad.exe and copied the file from windows
aquethys, Not sure of the error you have gotten from the bios change, but we assume here you have checked the ISO and or cd's md5sum and it was burnt if a cd as an image at the slowest speed. In other words that the boot cd or usb is good to go.
dr_willis: indeed could be
dr_willis: I installed that package.
hi everyone. when I try to apt-get install something, I get this error message: "E: You must put some 'source' URIs in your sources.list". However, when I look at /etc/apt/sources.list, the list seems fine. any ideas?
I think I used Open office.
Elise001: use a text editor like  gedit or geany
ron: you are trying to download source code packages. if you want source code with apt you have to enable a source repo
geany is good.. i reccomend it.. Elise001
hey -- just took some updates on 12.0.4 and now unity greeter runs out of mem, dies, and then restarts
ron: what packages are you trying to install and can you pastebin your sources.list?
cant get past the login page.. can F1 into command line but it'll still go back to the greeter after a few seconds
I have installed geany. But not sure how to use it.
Hello, I just installed on a old computer and I get connectivity issues. I can connect with SSH but it takes about 10 seconds before asking for password.  HTTP works fine, really fast.  When I run tracert (win7) from my desktop to the server, I get "Request timed out" on all hop.  Same when I run traceroute from the linux to my desktop, I get request timed out on all hop.  I do not know where to start debugging this :(
dsprc: sure, give me a sec to do a little test first.
trism : I think its working now, thanks
tsubaki: excellent
Elise001: its a text editor.... type.. save...
then use the shell to compile and run if you want...
Hi I do not have sound for music of for stream video but for for some other applications I do have... does any one have any idea what could it be???
Can I tell GRUB to reboot automatically choose certain menu antry on reboot? Let's say I want to reboot into windows on next boot, with simple command
paco_: what video streams
does anyone know how to boot into recovery mode on the mac?
s0up: anything funny in /var/log/x-?-greeter.log ?
dr_willis, youtube
lemme check trism
ironhalik, You can but it is not an easy change at your whim basically.
if i press esc or shift it doesn't work
okay so I got to the other boot menu by spamming f9 button. Now I'm booted up and "Trying Ubuntu" what shoudl I do now? gparted?
Hello, is wilee-nilee around
dsprc: thanks, I added the source repos and it works fine now.
wilee-nilee: some scripting and changing /etc/default/grub?

trism i do not see a greeter logs
oh k
dr_willis, I also have sound some apps but no for anything related to music or video...also dvds play with no sound
aquethys, Yeah take a screenshot of gparted looking at the HD with prtsc and imagebin it
lol hard to do stuff fast wtih cpu at 100%

ron: congrats! \o/
Elise001: you have curly quotes on the first line
Got it wilee
Elise001: and it should be #include <stdio.h> anyway
ironhalik: its doable from what ive read of the grub docs. theres a "saved" option and cli tools to set the default
does anyone know????
wilee-nilee: had a hell of time on Oct 31st, GRUG Rescue showed up when I tried booting my computer. used boot-repair and everythings ok now, just have a 500 gig parition in Windows now, but I'm ok with that.
I guess I'll stick with manual mode, for now :>
Elise001: so what happens when you compile it?
Elise001: you need to fix the curly quotes on the printf line too
hello/?
dr_willis, do you think is any misconfiguration on the sound??
ok I got 2 monitors up, how do I configure their behavior, I hate it when I maximise it on one display and it jumps to another
trism:   ;-)
danielboston26, that info should be in the mac pages https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MactelSupportTeam/CommunityHelpPages
how can i get the xscrrensaver collection?
*xscreensaver
nothing too weird trism
i did some updates then after never seeing it, the accessibility icon came back
tsubaki: ive seen some badly written apps do that. and others dont. i use  twinview for my nvudia options.
and some colors on apps like terminal were all white
OerHeks: that site doesn't have 12.10
OerHeks: thats the version im using
ironhalik, I forget I messed with it and found it really to be a hassle, and not worth it to me. You can change the default easily, but getting one to run without changing it when you want is a bit different, here is the latest grub manual link. https://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/grub.html
danielboston26, 12.10 or 12.04 , same info
s0up: how about lightdm.log ? is unity-greeter crashing?
wilee-nilee http://i.imgur.com/xgXyl.png
anyone can help me with sound configuration??
yeah it runs out of mem, kernel kills it
s0up: dmesg might also tell you if it is
and then it gets started again
latest it has is 11.10 OerHeks
dr_willis : I have it on twin view, I think I fixed it. also it was firefox doing it but its working I think now
I have an Ubuntu install which is a VM on top of my Proxmox Debian server. I'm using NFS to share some storage to the Ubuntu client (ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS Server Edition). I cannot seem to access the NFS directory even though I can see it is mounted. I try to `ls` and it hangs.
my grub entry is messed up and hence Windows is not booting. Can anyone please help out?
tsubaki: i had ff do it. but not chromeium-browser
lightdm.log just shows sessions starting etc tris
codepoet: run boot-repair in Ubuntu
trism*
nothing too weird

so no one knows?
danielboston26, so did you try it? the info is still the same
codepoet: had the same problem as you
dr_willis : trivial question, how do I set diffrent wallpapers on my displays?

I have a PC that I want to install Ubuntu on that has a SCSI card (an Adaptec 29160). The CDROM is device #3. I've burned an Ubuntu ISO and I can't get the install media to boot. I've changed the boot order in the BIOS to "SCSI" and in the SCSI BIOS edited the boot order to boot from device #3 (the CDROM). Yet, I still cannot get the ISO to boot from the CDROM. Any ideas?
shows out of memory kill process X (unity-greeter) score 942 or scrifice child
throwed54 do I need to install it?
codepoet: yes
codepoet: google boot-repair
bah gnome 3 sux
tsubaki: use a single wallpaper file you custome make is how i do it
OerHeks: doesn't say anything about recovery
 throwed54 will try.
ill get you the link
aquethys, So you have 4 primary partitions you have to lose one to do a Install of ubuntu in a extended. THe easiest to lose and resize would be the recovery. can you run a image of the windows to a external HD so you can remove the recovery=sda3.  Another otion is mocing the HP tools to the extended by saving it off the disc then reloading it.
When I "strace ls /the/dir", the last line of output is `stat("/the/dir"` and it hangs there. Anyone have any idea on how to fix this?
dr_willis I geuss il do that
VLanX: Not sure.  Haven't research that far into it.  I encounter the same error as you on my laptop that was equip w/ an Intel HD 4000 + nVidia GT630M.  I resolved it by using bumblebee.
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair
codepoet: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:yannubuntu/boot-repair && sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y boot-repair && boot-repair
I'm really annoyed at the unity launcher now :(
Oddly I have a separate ubuntu VM, same installation ISO, 12.04.1 LTS Server, which works fine
Do I have to run an image of windows to external HD or can I just go ahead and remove recovery?
aquethys,Hope that makes sense inspite of the misspells
throwed54: installing now
hey guys. I have a question. You know how in Ubuntu using a physical mouse, the middle click will auto paste highlighted text. How do I replicate the same on my touch pad, 3 fingers touch brings this window for resizing instead of middle clikc
congrats
is FlowRiser still here?
aquethys, You want to be able to reload windows no matter what, if you have a OEM reinstall set you could remove it.
danielboston26, yes i am
throwed54: did you have this problem after you updated Ubuntu?
So if I remove recovery partition without putting windows image on external HD will I be able to load windows no matter what?
IOW to get a SCSI CDROM to boot the installation media, do I need to change the boot order in the regular system BIOS or in the SCSI BIOS?
wyclif: both probably
aquethys, We are really backup orientated here it will save you alot of problems.
wyclif: where on earth are you getting a SCSI CDROM from?
FlowRiser: i cannot boot into recovery on my mac or i can't figure out how to do it is there another way to fix my problem with the nvida driver?
I don't have an external HD though :| Is it possible for us to just try deleting recovery parttion?
gordonjcp this PC has a SCSI card with a Seagate SCSI HDD and a SCSI CDROM on the bus
throwed54: did you have this problem after you updated Ubuntu? I updated mine which messed up my windows grub entry
aquethys, If you do not have a way of reinstalling windows and you want to have windows I cannot help you.
danielboston26, yeah, use a livecd, but i don't know the steps from there on :-?
s0up: you don't have a bunch of users in /etc/passwd do you? (it's an older accountservice bug)
i shouldn't trism
okay that's good
gordonjcp: it's a Plextor SCSI CDROM drive
this laptop is a few weeks old
deleting recovery partition now.
confusing the hell out of me though.. once i boot i'm at like 100% cpu/mem
s0up: would you mind pastebin lightdm.log and the greeter log (if there is anything in there)? you might also want to: sudo stop lightdm; so it calms down for the moment
aquethys, Most if not all manufacturers will sell you a OEM disc set for reinstalling, that is the first thing I get when buying a computers with windows myself, it was only 30$ last time I did this.
guys I just made a huge mistake. how do I manually edit the compizconfig values? I've made the compizconfig window 100% transparent...
\msg  throwed54 there?
and btw sorry this is 12.10
gordonjcp: so, change the boot order in BIOS to CDROM and the SCSI BIOS to boot CDROM first? I think I tried that...
not 12.0.4
don't have one :( so deleting the recovery and we'll see
wyclif: yup
danielboston26, i found a way to do it: http://www.tuxation.com/chrooting-into-a-linux-environment.html
I can live w/o windows
just preference
So, it was fine after I updated nvidia drivers when I first installed ubuntu, but, now, it again shows blue-ish videos in firefox. Why is that happening, as I didn't change anything that would effect it or updated driver?
yeah trism stopping lightdm made the lag stop
@wilee-nilee how long does it take to delete this partition? o.0
i cant really paste you easily trism since i'm stuck in cli here but
aquethys, So lets say you decide to sell your computer, is it more valuable and easier to sell with a windows system on  it. I think you are getting your cart in front of your horse here.  With a little planning and backing up you can cover your bootie for any instance..
gordonjcp: see, logically I thought that the BIOS has to boot "SCSI" first to go through the card, then on the SCSI bus it boots the CDROM first which is set from the SCSI BIOS???
it just shows a bunch of started session, sending signal 15 to process X.. process exited with return value 0.. then it stops
s0up: i am on a console too. install gnu screen and you can copy/paste stuff
(lightdm.log)
s0up: if you have network access you could use pastebinit (after installing it)
gordonjcp: but that doesn't work, so obv. I am doing it wrong
im not a hax0r and i dont use irrsi lol
Actually this computer is just a temp computer for me...
sec
Don't need to resell or anything
ill just installl sshd here and get it from my main box
can i check in 12.10 if i'm running in 3D or 2D unity?
12.10 has no unity 2d
@wilee-nilee: Is this done? http://i.imgur.com/PINJ0.png
dr_willis: i'm asking that because i don't see the smooth fading that i had in 12.04 anymore when i iconize a window
It still says pending
oh nvm
needed to click the checkmark
trism: https://paste.tinyw.in/index.php/view/96595221
that is lightdm.log
VLanX: what video chipset?
okay
http://i.imgur.com/2mnZ9.png
@wilee-nilee
https://paste.tinyw.in/index.php/view/31341920 this is dmesg
aquethys, You can remove the recovery with gparted it will instantly be gone. You would then reboot to W7 to shrink the C partition with its disk manager, resize it leaving a unallocated space large enough for the ubuntu install.  Reboot it to let it run its auto chksk, make sure it is running fine, then boot the ubuntu disc and choose the install alongside windows it will bukid the partitons for it.
build*
okay cool
dr_willis: HD4000 integrated graphics
How much should I shrink by
@wilee
Can anyone tell me how long the Copying Installation files should take?  It has been going for at least an hour now
Hello?
aquethys, Ah I forgot the wubi move, If you want to move the wubi, you would have to buils the partitions in gparted the ubuntu and the swap inside a extended partition then do the wubi transfer
so how would I do this
kefob, about 10 15 mins
10-15
make a new partition?
so what do you think is the problem with it?
Anyone know how to change to Ubuntu Netbook Remix Desktop On Ubuntu 12.10
kefob, might just be a glitch. you having it format a drive? just try again
aquethys, First question how big you need to decide how big ubuntu has to be then resize the windows accordingly.
200GB
should be good
hello
maybe 250. Cuz I have 1TB on this machine
Yeah, but there is a way to add startup commands or something to change the style
This is my second attempt.  Same thing happened before.  I am installing next to a Win 7 installation, had 70GB partition set aside for Ubuntu
I am doing the installation inside of a live disc
aquethys, second question if you get this all to the point of having the unallocated after removing the sda3 and resizing windows with its partitioner you will use gparted on the live cd to build the extended to fill that unallocated then a ext4 logical and a swap inside the extended, I can or someone will help you there. ;)
I've just made an upgrade from 8.x to 10.x LTS and now the screen is just black after the text that loads the kernel after grub has disappeared. How do I do to debug this?
So, no one knows?
d0min8r3: What is your question?
err How do I use gparted to build a partition to fill the unallocated so I can install?
s0up: hmm, this is the point I'd love to fire up a gdb session and see what unity-greeter is doing, if you were to install lightdm-gtk-greeter and switch to that, does the greeter come up?
mllie, Do you know how to insert nomodeset in the kernel at grub, to get a low graphics boot.
I notice /dev/sda2 has 900GB. How do I transfer some of that to Ubuntu?
I can't figure out how to change the style to UNR
aquethys: The installer should already be able to install into unallocated space
wilee-nilee: no?
d0min8r3: Style of what?
what do you mean by fire gdb session and see what the greeter is doing?
Desktop
(i'm more of a linux USER than an admin)
mllie,  ^^^
Hi, may I change to GRUB boot loader to a custom one
let's say I messed up really bad with the purge command, and I don't even have a terminal, how can I backup some files before freshinstalling?
okay let me give this a try
s0up: it's okay, don't worry about it, try installing lightdm-gtk-greeter and set greeter-session=lightdm-gtk-greeter in /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf and start lightdm
aquethys, I have the feeling here you are lost am I right?
Sort of
Hi all. I'm running 12.10 on my dell studio xps 8100 and the fan doesn't seem to be working. I've tried running acpi and I get "no support for device type power_supply". It seem to work fine on Windows 7 though. Any ideas on what I should do next?
thx for the help btw trism this has been killing me for a few hours lol
d0min8r3: So you want the window manager from the ubuntu netbook remix? Is that it?
My /dev/sda2 has 900GB space..
How do I reduce that
<aquethys> use gparted to resize
s0up: no problem, it is a curious issue, I'm wondering if logging into the ubuntu session will give you the same sort of issues even without unity-greeter
bobo37773: I wanted Netbook remix alone but yeah since it doesn't exist anymore I'll have to go with the desktop layout
aquethys, The problem I think is you are trying to understand to much this is rather easy if you know what you are doing, but trying to understand it and remember it all, and include additional info like moving stuff from windows is a bit of a strech for anyone. ;)
d0min8r3: Does this help at all? --> http://www.starkeith.net/coredump/2011/05/02/bringing-back-the-classic-netbook-remix-interface-in-ubuntu-11-04-natty-narwhal/
I dont mind messing with terminal a little bit, but i prefer not to, does anyone know a upnp media server that is easy to use? or anyone can guide me with MediaTomb? I added my folder "Downloads" and it doesnt show the sub-directories of it....
yeah trism
back in the laptop lol
phirex: mediatomb is fiddly as hell to get going
Hi, may I change to GRUB boot loader to a custom one
that was stupid
just decided to self destruct
Yes, thank you.
Hello.  Is it possible to create a bootable Ubuntu 12.10 LiveUSB using the 'dd' command (assuming /dev/sdb is the USB device)?:    dd  if=/path/to/ubuntu-12.10-desktop-i386.iso  of=/dev/sdb
phirex: I use minidlna, but you will need to use the terminal a little to get it set up
Ugh brb
phirex: once it's going it's pretty much rock solid
let's say I messed up really bad with the purge command, and I don't even have a terminal, how can I backup some files before freshinstalling?
s0up: so you managed to log in with lightdm-gtk-greeter? or not?
gordonjcp: does it refresh the directories automatically?
yessir
Chotaz`: just boot the live image
phirex: yes, mostly
logged in successful, in the comp w/ a session running
phirex: I've managed to catch it out
aquethys, As far as resizing the /dev/sda2 as I suggeted windows has a app called the disk manager it is a partitioner, you would use it in the live running windows to resize it.
?
qwebirc21119: that should work
s0up: system seem okay? nothing using a ton of mem or cpu?
Did anyone have any suggestions for my problem :)
Chotaz`: what did you purge?
twikz, wine*
gordonjcp: catch it out?
top says my computer is doing nothing and being lazy
s0up: good to hear, at least it seems to be a specific bug in unity-greeter
twikz, got home really high yesterday and wrote purge instead of remove somehow
phirex: very occasionally when I drop a bunch of stuff into a directory under circumstances I can never quite replicate, it doesn't update properly
* s0up knows better than to just take updates
but i was feeling dangerous
phirex: usually restarting it cures the problem, and if that doesn't I just delete its database and let it re-index the content
s0up: can you pastebin the updates you did today, yesterday from /var/log/apt/history.log ?
sure
aquethys, All you have to do is remove the sda3 with gparted, then boot to windows and resize the sda2 leaving a space the size you want ubuntu to be in, including a consideration of the size of the swap there as well.
gordonjcp: i'm really surprised theres no easy to use program with a gui :/
Chotaz`: can you ctrl+alt+f1 into another terminal?
phirex: it seems that if I add files to it when my PS3 is actively streaming stuff, it doesn't update properly
phirex: it's a server
Is there a .pc file for glut? I can't seem to find one.
phirex: why would a server have a GUI?
I've Googled the problem, cleaned out dust from my machine and checked the BIOS settings. Since it works fine with Windows I assume it's a bug or something?
gordonjcp: to set it up...
trism: https://paste.tinyw.in/index.php/view/50578805
Chotaz`: if you can get there you can try running apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
phirex: I don't understand
It also works fine from the live CD so I can't see why the fans aren't turning on
how would you even see the GUI?
Install: lightdm-gtk-greeter:amd64 (1.3.1-0ubuntu1) is probably the offending binary
twirm, sorry I was writting to the wrong person, thanks I wasn't even remembering that
gordonjcp: im talking about setting up which folders the server would share
phirex: oh, you just list those in the config file
twirm, is there anything like an history for packages removed where I could just undo this mess?
gordonjcp: so what else should be tweaked before its ready to go?
uh, not a lot
wilee-nilee: still same problem
gordonjcp: ok anyway i'll try it now! thanks :)
So i installed the nividia driver and now i no longer get a desktop how do i fix this
Chotaz`: I've never really run into something like that, but ubuntu-desktop is a metapackage that holds most of the core Desktop experience
phirex: I literally just changed the line that says media_dir=/whatever to point to where I put video
<EnderMB> does the pc freeze or reboot due to temperature?
wilee-nilee: I get this error just before the screen goes black I think: http://askubuntu.com/questions/182371/12-04-1-error-after-upgrade
Hi!
anyone know the fix?
twikz, I've sure lost that, every windows looks win95 now, and every application I close disappears(deluge, chrome, terminal, vlc, all gone now)
dr_willis:   The reason I asked is because I'm not seeing the use of 'dd' documented at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick .  So, I thought Ubuntu Live ISO's are not designed to be dd'd onto USB (also, as explained in some answers here:  http://askubuntu.com/questions/25476/how-to-make-a-usb-drive-bootable-after-live-image-is-copied-into-it-using-dd-c  http://askubuntu.com/questions/116942/any-way-to-manu
Hello. I checked the md5sum for my .iso, but my usb keeps having errors. Is there any way of doing an fsck on a usb drive?
s0up: oh hmm, I see the new glib/gtk from the gnome ppa
I installed Gnome 3 but it doesn't work because of the binary ATI drivers and now Unity is broken, too. How do I revert back to Unity?
s0up: that would be my first guess
ahh
hello??
maybe i'll go back to the old greeter after a few updates :P
rapha, What release are you running?
qwebirc21119: befor 11.04 that was true i think
are you an ubuntu contributor or something trism?
thanks for the help
s0up: just a user
twirm, I've sure lost that, every windows looks win95 now, and every application I close disappears(deluge, chrome, terminal, vlc, all gone now)
qwebirc21119: dd does work with 12.04+
Guess I will ask again lol.  I am doing an installation of Ubuntu next to an existing Win7.  I am in the live environment, second installation attempt, and it is stuck at copying installations logs for over an hour.  Any Ideas?
Hi all. I'm running 12.10 on my dell studio xps 8100 and the fan doesn't seem to be working. I've tried running acpi and I get "no support for device type power_supply". It seem to work fine on Windows 7 though. Any ideas on what I should do next?
Chotaz`: haha, that'll happen. Do you remember what you purged?
twikz, all the webpages open in gedit, thing is a reall mess
Chotaz`: yeah, sounds like you broke some desktop dependency with purge
dr_willis:  I see.  So, what was changed starting with 12.04+ to make the Live ISO capable of being dd'd onto USB?
<EnderMB> maybe the cpu isnt hot enough to activate the fan/
Chotaz`: it sounds like you lost mostly GTK packages. Were you able to get into another terminal via CTRL+ALT+F1?
dr_willis:  I see.  So, what was changed starting with 12.04+ to make the Live ISO capable of being dd'd onto USB?
well if you ever need hosting trism feel free to PM me anytime on freenode, we give free bandwidth/hosting to OSS contributors :)
twirm, i did "sudo apt-get purge wine*" and I only noticed I'd done crap when I saw terminal output "Removing google-chrome-stable"
qwebirc21119: it started from 11.10 and is called hybrid iso
What's the easiest way to fsck a usb drive?
qwebirc21119: hybrid iso format i beluve is the techy term.
rapha> try reinstalling the fglrx packages
Sorry to be a nuisance, but anyone have any idea why my fan isn't working?
can gparted do fsck?
Chotaz`: you should definitely give installing ubuntu-desktop a shot
semitones, See the bots message
semitones: yes
ThinkT510: thanks :)
EnderMB, I don't see wh it isn't working, i dont even think there is a driver for the fan. It is probably hardware controlled
i'll try reinstalling ubuntu desktop, if that doesn't solve most issues ima go with a fresh install that'll probably be fast
er
Hi .i use ubuntu 12.4.i want to set password for thunderbird for every runnuing . soloution ?
does the cpu get hot or pc freeze?
It's not working D:
Chotaz`: werd, good luck man. I hope you've learned your lesson about package managing while high ;P
zenx: The back of the machine gets pretty hot and it's very quiet, even when the cpu is high. Also, when I try to run acpi I get the message "no support for device type power_supply"
Can someone help me?
d0min8r3: what's up?
twirm,  all I wanted was this crappy japanese game working, windows binaries so I needed a specific wine version for it xD
Perhaps I'm just being silly and Ubuntu is just quiet?
Hi .i use ubuntu 12.4.i want to set password for thunderbird to ask it when i run thunderbird . soloution ?	
so to install kde i just type sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop ?
<EnderMB> I would try the latest kernel
I can't get the Netbook Remix
Chotaz`: did you grab Crossover while it was free this week?
Is there a way to do a file check on a Boot USB before I reboot?
d0min8r3, netbook remix is no more, just use the ubuntu iso.
twirm, had no idea :(
d0min8r3: There is no netbook remix anymore.
am i reading that right?
I went to http://www.starkeith.net/coredump/2011/05/02/bringing-back-the-classic-netbook-remix-interface-in-ubuntu-11-04-natty-narwhal/  And when I install them it says they aren't found
twikz, does it work that good anyways?
still can't boot install ISO
wilee-nilee: any idea?
semitones, try man fsck in the terminal for info
I know it doesn't come seperate, but there is a way to change the theme or whatever to get it.
d0min8r3: And 11.04 is not supported anymore, officially.
Chotaz`: for newer windows apps, (Skyrim, MS Office 2010) it is definitely worth it
wilee-nilee: you know how when you boot ubuntu from USB, and you can check the install file integrity? Is there a way to do that without rebooting?
its installing... ty to who ever made ubottu
Chotaz`: if the software is from before 2005, you're better off with stock WINE
wilee-nilee: yes, didn't you see my message above? I tried that one without any success
mllie, The link in the ots message will tell you how to insert the nomodeset in the kernel at boot.
bots*
twirm, still all the games that I used to play one wine 1.2.2 dont work on the newer versions of wine
Man... crossover was free... ? man
So there is no possible way to make Ubuntu look like the netbook remix?
EnderMB, that's a desktop pc right? Honestly I wouldn't worry as long as the pc doesnt crash or if you can monitor temps to see. But the problem is probably due to dell custom hardware. Download the latest kernel and try it
wilee-nilee: still same problem. I get this error just before the screen goes black I think: http://askubuntu.com/questions/182371/12-04-1-error-after-upgrade
how do i boot into the command line on 12.10?
danielboston26, ctrl+alt+f1
semitones: would you prefer a 64bit or 32bit?
press CTRL+ALT+F2
zenx: Okay, I'll download the latest kernel. Thanks for the help!
Chotaz`: do you know if you're running 64/32?
press CTRL+ALT+F7 to go back
mllie, Is that your actual post>
twirm 64bits
Hello
Can anyone help me with error "initramfs mount mounting aufs root failed No such device" please?
wilee-nilee: no, but same error message
twirm: that all depends on the arcitechture of your CPU and the amount of memory in your computer, what kind of processor do you have and how much RAM do you have installed?
Well, I'm going to go waste some time looking for a solution on the web.
Can anyone with me, I cant get dual boot to work with windows 7
Sean21_: define not working
ok
mllie, I would go to the ubuntu forums and start a thread as well, the channel may or may not be your best help, I can't really help here myself, I thought this was just a black screen.
what happens when you turn your computer on? do you get a grub menu?
zenx: did that, doesn't help. the desktop and nautilus show up, but unity itself won't start.
I came here the other night and I was told that I didnt install ubuntu correctly
wilee-nilee: well, how do I get into command line when booting then?
Sean21_, Give us the problem in the form of a question.
d0min8r3: yup
So someone walked me through the installation, aftr it finsihed installing, computer boots up right into windows 7
msg Chotaz` would you like crossover?
<rapha> change to unity 2d, and run that additional driver installer
?
<rapha>if that doesn't work you can try and remove every fglrx* packages, and try installing a driver from amd website, it must work then or the problem is something else than the drivers
you can choose unity2d at the login screen
Sean21_: i know what you did.. you installed windows last didn't you? if you want to dual boot then generally you'd install windows first and linux 2nd
mllie, You can get to a command line from the recovery kernel in the grub menu, hold down the shift key at boot if grub is not showing, I believe there is a mount needed here I think the hD is read only in the recovery to begin with these days.
when you install windows after installing linux it messes up grub
Windows 7 was already installed
so you need to boot from a live cd and chroot into your linux install and fix grub
wilee-nilee: ok, boot recovery kernel and then? It stops at black screen there as well
What is "live cd", is it the samething as booting up from the usb flash drive I did?
dr_willis , ThinkT510 :  Thanks for the info.  I was able to confirm it here: http://news.softpedia.com/news/Ubuntu-11-10-Will-Be-Distributed-As-Hybrid-CD-USB-images-206765.shtml .
aufs is not supported ? I just tried to customize the Kernel in Live CD
In case all current and future Ubuntu Live ISOs are "hybrid" ISOs, I would like to suggest that the 'dd' method of creating LiveUSB be added to the documentation at  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick  since this seems to be an easy method of creating the LiveUSB and would also be preferred by those who like using the command line exclusively.
mllie, The only thing I know here is how to insert nomodeset in the kernel to possibly get a low graphics situation.
Sean21_: just use the cd you installed ubuntu with but you could use any linux live cd i believe
mllie, This is beyond my help honestly. ;)
I installed unbuntu with usb
I am testing the ISO on vmware workstation
Sean21_: see the link ubottu spit out
Ok I changed my c program's source code. It is at  http://paste.ubuntu.com/1333140/
msg nickserv identify 25122
angela-  change your password :-
:-)
Sean21_, Here is a link use the chroot to reload grub to the mbr. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2/Installing  The is also a bootrepiar app that will generate a bootinfo summary that makes this help much easier.
Ok i will try, Im a bit of noob with this stuff.
Next I will put the output from compiling to pastebin.
lol
Sean21_: you can do it, i have faith in you
What is wrong with the curly quotes on the printf line, please?
Thanks, you boosted my confidence :)
Elise001: the compiler doesn't like them
Sean21_: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2011/09/live-usb-sticking-grub-2-video   bit friendlier
Should I use 1 quote on each side instead of 2 quotes?
oh great,thnx
Elise001: you need to use this character "
Sean21_: your linux install is still there... you just messed up the bootloader is all
Does anyone know of a good netbook OS? Besides Ubuntu Desktop.
once you fix grub you'll have the choice to boot into linux or windows
d0min8r3: kubuntu, lubuntu, xubuntu, you have plenty of flavors
Ok cool, if I decide to upgrade to windows 8, will I have to do anything?
actually it wasn't anything you did, windows does that.. thats why you should install windows first and linux 2nd
Anything besides ubuntu?
Windows was already installed
d0min8r3: Lubuntu uses fewer resources and will give a more responsive OS
d0min8r3: then its offtopic here, try asking in #ubuntu-offtopic
if you upgrade to windows 8 you may have to fix grub again.. but once you do it you'll be able to do it again
#ubuntu-offtopic
Gotcha, however Windows was installed before I installed linux
Sean21_: it only takes like 5 - 10 mins to fix grub if you knkow what you're doing... maybe 20 - 60 if you don't exactly know what you're doing.. but you have people here who will help you
Hi .i use ubuntu 12.4.i want to set password for thunderbird for every runnuing .any soloution ?	
Sean21_, When I upgraded to W8 grub was not effected here it does not know how to overwrite the grub and put its bootloader in so keep an eye on the rebooots on the install.
how is the effect that you get when pressing multiple times for example on firefox on the unity tab, you can see all the opened windows and then you can switch to the single window?
Ok hopefully it only takes 5-10 minutes.
It compiled ok, first with gcc then with cc. Thank you.
But won't run when I type in a.out.
Elise001: ./a.out
OnlyMAJ, Is this so other users cannot open thunderbird
wilee-nilee: yeah . just me !
I will try that.
OnlyMAJ, I would set them up with their own accounts if it were me.
trism: Thank you very much! It printed as expected.
wilee-nilee: hmmm...
i want to set password just for thunderbird ,nothing else !
Elise001: you may need to mark it executable too
gk
OnlyMAJ, I see nothing on the web in linux for this, when you search with password all I see is passwords associated with email accounts. This does not mean it is not possible, but I would not hold your breath for an answer. ;)
ls
wilee-nilee: tnx anyway ;D
i search it again !

Hi, I was here trying to get help with Ubuntu not detecting Windows on my laptop, I found the reason: UEFI
Windows didn't set up the proper partitions.
c_smith_, so you can now access your windows partition, or are you looking for more help?
twirm: I have been able to access windows from Windows itself, Ubuntu refuses to see it because of Windows not setting up the UEFI partition, something I know how to fix.
but it will take a good chunk of my time. >.<
being as it involves reinstalling Windows.
c_smith_, install gdisk and tell us what the partition tables look like (gdisk will let you look at the msdos and gpt tables independently, no other tool i know of can do that)
c_smith_, oof. Congrats on figuring it out
* twirm high five
ae
pessoal
]tudo bem
tudo bem
oks
escott: I looked in Gparted and it complained about the UEFI partition not being there, either way wouldn't show anything.
hi
bekks: time for a short pm?
escott: I didn't even attempt an install since right then I realized what was going on and am gonna have to reinstall.
c_smith_, i installed win7 on a uefi system in what i thought was uefi mode, but windows did an msdos partition setup. without the efi partition it should not be bootable so you might actually have an msdos system with an invalid gpt table
guntbert: Sure.
IOW to get a SCSI CDROM to boot the installation media, do I need to change the boot order in the regular system BIOS or in the SCSI BIOS?
c_smith_, in either case i would install gdisk to figure out what you do have as your tables
can i put a to do list and a calender on my ubuntu 12.10 desktop
escott: it's bootable, but has MSDOS partitioning. that's what Gparted was complaining about.
but I just popped in to say that.
I have several things I can try to fix this.
figured you all should know since somebody else might run into this.
hi war can i fint free mp3 downloads/
0.o
I have a PC that I want to install Ubuntu on that has a SCSI card (an Adaptec 29160). The CDROM is device #3. I've burned an Ubuntu ISO and I can't get the install media to boot. I've changed the boot order in the BIOS to "SCSI" and in the SCSI BIOS edited the boot order to boot from device #3 (the CDROM). Yet, I still cannot get the ISO to boot from the CDROM. Any ideas?
wyclif: verify that the drive will boot other install media first-cd's
angela-: jamendo.com has free/copyleft music
chaospsychex: I tried that, but it will not boot any installation media at this point
thnanks
wyclif: does the drive read cd's once booted ?
wyclif: is the SCSI card bootable?
but xangua  how to download thare mp3`s?
chaospsychex: I get the error: DISK BOOT ERROR. INSERT SYSTEM DISK AND PRESS "ENTER".
wyclif: did you MD5 test the ISO you downloaded?
chaospsychex: only music CDs, not data
ActionParsnip: yes, I did the standard verify checksum checks upon burning the ubuntu .iso
ActionParsnip: yes, the SCSI functionality works and I can access the SCSI bios as well
wyclif: in what os does it read only music cd's and not data cd's ?
wyclif, does the scsi bios support booting cds? have you been able to boot any other cds?
chaospsychex: Jaunty is installed on the HDD, but because Jaunty is no longer supported, I cannot update over the network any longer
wyclif: you said you were able to access the scsi bios, did you see any config settings for booting from an optical drive ?
escott: the SCSI BIOS allows you to set boot order on the SCSI card. The CDROM is device #3. When I edit the boot order in the SCSI BIOS to boot the CD first, it won't boot and gives me the DISK BOOT FAILURE error
wyclif: what is device #1 and #2 ?
chaospsychex: the options in the SCSI BIOS allow you to change the boot order by device. In this case, the CDROM is device #3, so that is what I set it to.
chaospsychex: the only devices in the chain are the HDD and the CDROM. The HDD is device 0, the CDROM device 3
How would I go about installing a GTK theme? I want to replace the default Ambiance theme with another GTK2 theme I downloaded.
wyclif, two things (a) look at the link above https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades because you can still do a release-upgrade. (b) although the bios may let you put the device as bootable that doesn't necessarily mean that the image you try to boot will understand how to boot when the cd is in a scsi bios (basically the cd has its own bootloader which needs to find the cd again... so the scsi bios needs to fake things so that
the cd is accessible to the limited cd bootloader to make it look like the cd is disk 1
My apt-get is stuck in a state where it cant install anything, should i reinstall ubuntu?
wyclif, so the question for (b) is "have you ever been able to boot a cd with your scsi card?"
ihp, details please. what messages does apt-get give you?
ihp: no, how did it get that way?
ihp: what errors are you getting? how is it "stuck" exactly?
Linkandzelda: you will need a GTK3 theme, there are PPAs with them or you can use gnome-look.org
ActionParsnip: Thanks, also how would I go about enabling Global menu with this gnome-panel I got yesterday? Thanks
wyclif: why don't try booting from a live usb ? does your system support booting from usb ?
guntbert, escott: dont have the comp here. i installed a driver for my screen. failed via apt-get so did it manually and now it cant finish installing anything anymore
escott: yes, in fact I installed Jaunty ages ago from the same CDROM drive with no issues, that's what's so odd
chaospsychex: that would be a good solution if I had USB on this box :(
Linkandzelda: no idea, not something I use. I know XFCE has a global maneu but not sure if Gnome panel has one
wyclif, then either (a) the cd image has been changed so that it no longer works, or (b) you downloaded a bad image/burned a bad image
ActionParsnip: I see, maybe I can live without it then.
ihp: thats difficult for helpers - please come again when you have access to your system
wyclif: how did you burn the img ?
wyclif: if you can't access the files on cd's then something is wrong with the drive
escott: chaospsychex: I burned the .iso on a MBP, then used "verify" to check the data in Disk Utility.
wyclif: how big is your HDD ?
escott: I was careful to do the checks upon burning the .iso, doing everything I could to ensure that it was a good copy
chaospsychex: 17GB
wyclif: if i was you i would run the .iso from the hdd
wyclif, did you burn as iso? was it a single burn (cd-r style) or might you have done a multisession (cd-rw style) burn by mistake
wyclif: you can boot from the .iso, with the .iso on a seperate partition, using grub
escott: good question. I downloaded the .iso directly from Ubuntu.com. Then I copied the .iso to Disk Utility and burned it, and checked "Verify" to do the data checks, &c.
wyclif: did you check the md5sum?
wyclif: extract the contents of the .iso to a 1gb partition and boot from it using grub. do you have grub installed as a bootloader on your system ?
chaospsychex: yes, I have GRUB.
chaospsychex: in order to do that, do I need to resize partitions, &c?
wyclif: of the iso... the verify only checks that the burn matches the image. If that base image is corrupt it will still verify.
grub can boot some iso files.  no need to extract. ;-)
wyclif: well that would be a problem if you have no way to boot anything.....nvm
L3top: but I copied the .iso directly from ubuntu.com
hi :) I installed Ubuntu 12.10 from minimal.iso and after successful installation i downloaded xubuntu-desktop. Everything works good, but the NM icon is gray, and it shows no active wired connections, while i'm obviously using one :) An ideas what might be the problem?
wyclif, You have grub legacy or grub 2
wyclif: again, unless you check the md5sum, you will not know whether or not you have a clean image.
can you put a calender on the desktop
* chaospsychex tapes calender to basketballstar's desktop!
wilee-nilee: legacy GRUB (0.97 to be specific)
pawiecki: verify you don't have network settings for you wireless in /etc/network/interfaces
wyclif, also (i dont know what this verify actually does perhaps L3top knows) the verify could just be confirming that you burned a the iso image file onto the cd correctly not that you burned the iso correctly
seems I have a problem with Nautilis. its not showing new files that recently downloaded, but they are there in the downloads folder I just cant see them
wyclif, there are instructions on ubuntu.com that will take you step by step through the process of burning a cd correctly on a macbook.
wyclif, I thought so if you get to doing the md5sum and need to boot from grub makes sure it is you announce the grub legacy for help here.
pawiecki, did you install network manager?
does anybody here know how a md5sum check on a MBP with their Disk Utility? Is that possible?
wilee-nilee: gotcha
wyclif, http://www.ubuntu.com/download/help/burn-a-dvd-on-mac-osx
wyclif, if you follow the above then the burn should be good. so you just need to open a terminal and type md5sum /path/to/ubuntu.iso
zykotick: the settings are as follows: "# This file describes the network interfaces available on your system
# and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5).
# The loopback network interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
# The primary network interface
escott: I followed those exact directions to the letter, in fact :(
ahh sry for flood
pawiecki: are you looking to set a static IP?
pawiecki, did you actually install network-manager. i dont think it would get pulled in via xubuntu-desktop
I just entered sorry
pawiecki: you should see both "/msg ubottu tab" as well as "/msg ubottu paste"
escott: so in this case the correct path would be /dev/cdrom ???
wyclif, you could do that (with the ubuntu disk inserted). or it would /users/USERNAME/???/Downloads/ubuntu-blah-blah.iso or something like that
i have dynamic IP. How to tell if i have NM installed? There's an icon just like in stock Ubuntu, when i click it i can see wireless network, but none wired - which i'm using to connect to internet right now :)
ActionParsnip: any idea about this, whenver I use the archive extractor from nautilis the folder doesnt show, until i restart it?
wyclif: and where you downloaded the image, there will be an md5sum to compare. If they are the same, then we can proceed.
pawiecki, dpkg -l "*network*" and see if network-manager is listed with "ii" to the left
L3top: yes I was just looking at the md5sum.txt
is it possible to have rsyslog forward to a remote host outside the local network?
can't seem to get it to do anything...
Linkandzelda, what if you ctrl-R to reload the folder
chaospsychex: escott: L3top: thanks for the help, I will try again and make sure md5sum is good
Can anyone point me to documentation describing how to disable the grouping of windows in the window switcher (12.10)?
escott: that works, but its not exactly ideal. apparently this "bug" has been around since 9.10
Linkandzelda, does it work properly if you just "touch" a file in that folder? perhaps you modified your kernel and it doesnt support inotify events?
badloop, in what way is it not working? perhaps you have a firewall or NAT on the other end?
escott: all I've done is install some nautilis extras like dropbox and gnome-sushi, and im not using unity I'm using gnome-panel.
network-manager & network-manager-gnome installed
Hi, there !
I just have some problem to understand(?) linking
Linkandzelda, if you open up a folder and in a terminal run "touch /path/to/folder/test.txt" does it create the empty file "test.txt" and show it without prompting?
I think that "-f" switch doesn't work in "ln"
escott: i've monitored udp traffic on the sending end, and it doesn't seem to be generating any packets when i create a test log entry
"-f" doesn't want to overwrite an existing directory with the same name nor an existing link.
badloop, have you tried using the "@<hostname>" notation in the config file? It should route anywhere assuming your system is routing properly?
oh wait.. there it goes
hmmmmmm
escott: I'll try it
wyclif: if I were you, what I would do is, locate the zsync link where you downloaded the iso... then sudo apt-get install zsync  then just type zsync http://path/to/iso.zsync       this will basically "fix" the iso. It will not tell you it is done till the md5sums match... and you will only overwrite the corrupt parts of the image. Much faster.
Norbertoss: it will overwrite an existing link, but not a directory
wyclif: launch from folder where ubuntu.iso exists.
badloop, my first suspicion would be that you need to open port 431? on the remote NAT because you have inbound traffic that is coming from outside your subnet. (assuming you have a NAT)
escott: I had the Downloads folder opened and ran "touch Downloads/test.txt" and the file was not shown. I do ctrl + r and it shows
is there a sort of man or help here?
escott: 431? udp syslog is 514...
L3top: I will have to see if that utility is available as part of the standard UNIX tools on a MBP, where I burned it.
wyclif: understood. Should be I would think... it is just a different rsync...
badloop, wasn't sure what port it was... some example listed 431
Linkandzelda, that would suggest inotify isn't working properly on your system
wyclif: if not just pull it in from the macports collection
L3top: in any case, I am now installing zsync here...
pawiecki, You might try as well at #xubuntu
Linkandzelda, there is a command line application "inotifywatch" in the inotify-tools package. might help you verify if inotify is/is not working on your system
dsprc: thanks, will look for it
tsimpson: Strange, but it doesn't want to overwrite a link. :( I tried it under another distro, but I thought it is distro-independent
wyclif: I love zsync. We pump out an iso almost daily... so I just rename the old build to the new builds name, and they start about 70% done. On my bandwidth, and the size of the dvd isos that is tremendous.
escott: I'll install that and find out then
L3top: interesting; I've never heard of it before, only familiar with rsync :)
tsimpson: Some folks in another IRC channel told me that maybe busybox in my distro is too old to support "-f". Is it possible ?
Norbertoss: no, we don't use busybox
Norbertoss, busybox is not the standard ln. don't use busybox and expect it to act like gnu utils
escott, i have both network-manager and network-manager-gnome installed. The /etc/network/interfaces looks like this http://paste.ubuntu.com/1333301/
wyclif: I can actually build my own isos from a dd image naming them the latest build image name, they start out at about 64%
escott: I'm afraid, I don't know anything about it. :S
L3top: that sounds rather useful
L3top: although I don't often burn iso's
pawiecki, im afraid i dont know much about xubuntu
Norbertoss: what exactly are you trying to do that's failing?
escott, ok, no problem, thx for help so far :)
escott: http://pastebin.com/6JuxEe2d
escott: this is what happens when I run the tool
Linkandzelda, can you verify the pastebin
escott: oops, fail much lol
what is this silence
escott: http://pastebin.com/yVUQiw53 thats more like it
ceccolo, You have not posted anything.
I have to read a guide
Linkandzelda, so there is your problem. you could run something like "echo #### > sudo tee /proc/blah/blah" to increase that limit. better would be to figure out what application is using all your inotify watches
ceccolo: do you have an ubuntu support question?
escott: I bet its dropbox lol
escott: First, I create a link: ln -sfv /foo /root/othername. It succeeds. I try to REPEAT this. It won't ovewrite the destination, it creates a link to "/foo" in "/root/othername" (result: "/root/othername/foo") It won't replace the link "/root/othername" with "/foo2" neither. :( I hope, you understood :S
aha
no, I'm sorry, first time
Linkandzelda: running out of inotify?
Linkandzelda, basically inotify is a kernel facility to allow applications to monitor directories and files for changes. but it can be abused in a multi-user system and slow down the system so they cap each user at some number listed in that /proc file
there's a thing that causes that
it's lying
there are *loads* of inotify handles available
escott: the number listed in the file is 8132.... that sounds pretty high? lol
Linkandzelda, yeah but if you had thousands of files in dropbox folders and dropbox was watching each and every one...
escott: oh, now that makes sense when I have over 40,000 lol
Norbertoss, i think you need " -n, --no-dereference        treat destination that is a symlink to a directory as if it were a normal file"
escott: Damn, you are a genius ... er ... thank you VERY much. it has solved my problem. :P
Linkandzelda, a better solution is for dropbox to only monitor folders not files, that leaves the possibility that an open file is not updated (because you append to the end of it) but these days thats pretty rare, often things will overwrite or replace a file with a new one which would trigger an inotify event on the directory
ActionParsnip: I have a GTK3 theme but have no Idea how to install it. Ive tried to install it using ubuntu tweak but i always get "invalid theme file"
Norbertoss, do be careful increasing that limit in /proc. those watches can be expensive in both memory and cpu
escott: i guess, but theres no way i could change dropbox to do that?
Linkandzelda, there might be some setting somewhere (or file a bug with them)
Linkandzelda, they should not be taking out thousands of watches (assuming that it is there fault which you should confirm)
How do you copy (with cp) multiple folders to a new location at once? (example 'cp -rv /media/hdd1/folder1+folder2 /media/hdd2/') Not sure how you can do more than one folder in the first string of copy/cp. Any advice or suggestions are welcome.
tyfaust, cp 1 2 3 4 5 /target
escott: What are "watches" ? :S What kind of "limit" ? :S Sorry, I don't understand :(
Norbertoss, sorry meant those last two for Linkandzelda
escott so just the last one is always the destination for all other folders/locations listed?
escott: No problem. Thanks for your kindly help. :)))
tyfaust, yes
escott: I remember I took this picture when starting dropbox https://dl.dropbox.com/u/2873587/Screenshot%20from%202012-11-04%2019%3A15%3A36.png
escott, thanks for your help! I will give it a try.
quit
Linkandzelda, 404ed
escott: becuase dropbox didnt upload it like it should of... lol
hey guys, i'm having trouble installing ubuntu on my dell laptop. i initially installed with an ALT install disk but after install ubuntu just froze after BIOS, wouldn't boot, and showed a blank screen. you guys told me to get a live cd, but my dvd burner is broken and i cannot burn a disk. i'm wondering if USB would work?
after updating ubuntu my menu's look like http://phota.me/i1ju.png .. any ideas?
escott: should be up now
GRRR3, did you ever see the bootloader?
didn't see grub
just the dell bios stuff adn then it asked me if i wanted to boot from harddisk whcih i did.. then it froze
should i maybe try installing without grub?
or should i try making an ubuntu USB? is USB a live version of ubuntu?
Linkandzelda, WOW. my already low opinion of dropbox has been lowered even further. i would email dropbox and politely ask them to "sudo rm -rf /"
escott: LOL, they truly are lazy with this one... too bad I have to use DB for other stuff
what do you guys reckon? i really wanna get ubuntu on this laptop
GRRR3, the "live" system is part of the normal install image. it can be a cd or a usb. it is NOT on the alt image
GRRR3: There is two another methods to get a new OS. Anyway, you could try to install another kind of GRUB - it can be done with Puppy Linux :) But I don't want to confuse you ;)
GRRR3: what video chip do you use?
not sur eabout video chip
:-P
second hand laptop, no idea of the specs
GRRR3, the fact that you went for the alt install disk suggests something is off with your hardware making the install harder but you havent indicated what that might have been
GRRR3: does the system have a make and model
badloop, cool
i went for the ALT disk because i always install with LVM encryption
its a del inspiron 1501
Hi
the only options i have are ALT cd's which are already burned (i cannot burn any disks atm), or to use USB...
When using sudo I get this
ircd is not in the sudoers file.  This incident will be reported.
adaminsull, why is your username ircd?
i can also plug in to the internet, can i install it over the internet somehow?
directly
escott: Because i'm using it not as root
I'm making my irc server so used ircd
GRRR3: Do you have an operating system what is supported by VirtualBox ? There is a method to transfer virtual machine to a real machine
adaminsull, thats a really odd choice
escott: You cannot do unrealircd as root
Hey can I make Ubuntu (10.04) launch a program automatically when inactive for xx.xx.xx?
i have another laptop but unfortunately i cannot run both laptops at the same time as their batteries are both stuffed and i have to have them plugged in, and i only have one cord atm
adaminsull, you should have a normal username "adam" or whatever you want, and then isntall unrealircd which should create an ircd account under which it will run
if that is the only option i have, i can go out and purchase a new power cord i guess
escott: Well how do I add to sudoers file
the other laptop runs ubuntu and has virtualbox installed
adaminsull, there are lots of accounts *d that should have NO ACCESS to the system. whose sole purpose is to run various daemons
How do I give it access?
adaminsull, if you configure your sudoers file to allow a *d account to sudo then you are doing it wrong
i really don't wanna go back to windows :(
escott: I havent set it up
How can I
FireStorms: I think it is can be done via (handwritten) scripts. xD So it would be a difficult work to create. :D
GRRR3: seems to be an ATi Radeon Xpress1150
GRRR3: try the boot option: nomodeset
adaminsull, when you install set your username as "adam" (or whatever you would use on your desktop) you will use "adam" to administer the system and "adam" will be able to sudo. "adam" will install unrealircd and unrealircd should create an ircd account which is locked (preventing anyone from using it)
does anyone know why the process signond is using 100% cpu?
only boot option i have are boot from harddisk, boot from cd, boot from usb
escott: I don't understand unix so can u just tell me how to allow it access?
adaminsull, no i will not. because what you are proposing is wrong
GRRR3, the LVM encryption is probably the problem here
I want my ircd user to be able to use sudo
GRRR3, did you install grub and /boot to some partition outside of the LVM encryption?
grub is installed, but doesn't seem to load or give me the option to load it
escott: I need to give it permission to use sudo but how?
escott, do you think if i reinstall without LVM it might work out??
and I also seem to have a problem with my network being unstable and slow. http://uppix.net/8/f/5/80e7d396f16f297d50a20e0701319.png
actionparsnip, please explain what you mean by that? i don't have access to grub, is that a grub command or something?
Hi friends. Hope I can get help about this. I want to have dual boot with Windows. I read one recommendation on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DiskSpace that I should make a sharing partition in ntfs to share with Windows and use that instead of sharing directly into Windows partition because files can get overridden by hibernation? How does that work? I see recommendations like this page that I can just use a utility like here http://w
adaminsull, im not answering that question. i would suggest you ask in #backtrack-linux they will happily help you set that up and compromise your system at the same time
I just need help
SunMoonStar, This an apple computer?
would installing without the splash scrfeen work? it might be the splash screen doing it. is there an option to do that?
GRRR3, i dont know much about lvm+encryption, but presumably grub needs to find the lvm modules and perhaps even load a kernel to be able to prompt you for the encryption password. so grub and maybe /boot needs to be outside the lvm partitions
wilee-nilee: no I have Windows
SunMoonStar, The shared NTFS is just another NTFS partition.
escott: How do I read main
mail
i'm not sure what you mean by "grub needs to be outside the LVM"... but let me ask you, should i reinstall without LVM... and/or should i reinstall and not install GRUB along with it?
SunMoonStar, Do you a space for another partition?
have*
wilee-nilee: Yes I think so. I have 1 TB hard drive, and I want to give each OS about 450, and put maybe 100 on the partition?
i'm perfectly happy to go without LVM if it'll work...
GRRR3, it takes a potential problem off the table
i'll give it a shot
thanks for your help, appreciated
wilee-nilee: but I wanted to know if it makes sense to use a partition if I can conveniently use a utility
SunMoonStar, Cool you want to be aware of types of partitions IE primary or logical and limitations on a single HD is all.
SunMoonStar, What utility?
http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2265543,00.asp
wilee-nilee: one of those?
It looks like port 25 is blocked: (  http://www.spamhaus.org/pbl/query/PBL1526778  )  So i am unable to use port 25 for mail submissions?
wilee-nilee: i will try to google the words you mentioned
It says You have new mail but how do I read it?
i am running ubuntu on only 10gb via a windows installer and someone told me it's not a real partition, so i want to set ubuntu up for real because i like it more
SunMoonStar, thats WUBI and a real partition will be faster. the other direction you could go is to use virtualbox
SunMoonStar, Did you notice this date on this link.  February 8, 2008
  A shared ntfs is the general concensus.
morning from indonesia
anyone know why flash player only untill ver 11.2 for linux?
hi
Eagleman, yes, some providers block 1-1024, contact your provider.
can I upgrade Ubuntu while things like xchat are still running, only restarting when it's done?
or should I close everything?
MK`: yes
?
SunMoonStar, With ubuntu you have ubuntu one 5 free gigs of storage, you can have ubuntu one in windows as well, this is cloud computing.
wilee-nilee: what sort of limitations were you referring to regarding a single HD
MK`: firefox will get its knickers in a twist
MK`, upgrading? meaning what 11.10-12.04 upgrading or just security updateS?
In lightDM what does greeter means? does it mean a theme?
no
Upgrading. I'm on 11.04 and it just told me I need to upgrade :P didn't realize it'd been so long
there's ver 11.4 but only mac and win32
mih1406, lightDM is a greeter (the graphical application that asks you for your password)
hmm
i must take a bath
MK`, but what do you mean by "upgrading" what is it asking you to do
11.04 -> 11.10
i am looking for terminal which can do paste with shift-insert
Benyamin90: Adobe stopped to develpo under Linux
SunMoonStar, With a standard msdos setup not a uefi or gpt 4 primaries or 3 primaries and a extended with logicals inside the extended can have a lot of partitions including the shared ntfs.
what terminal could do that?
But Flash will die, soon
hmm, why?
because nothing they get
?
MK`, in that case maybe not. you can often start and application during the release-upgrade and provided you dont close it it will still work, but not always
alright
Er it is not about money, it is about revolution
escott: Can I read main?
yeah after coming html5
mail*
can i put a to do list on my desktop
hei btw anyone like tears of steel?
Flash is dying because HTML5 will do the job instead of it
escott, what are other greeters out there?
SunMoonStar, YOu might install gparted in the ubuntu and take a screenshot using the prtsc key and image bin it to show us the HD as it is now.
mih1406, gdm, kdm, xdm
thx all
wilee-nilee: I'll have to research to understand that. Ok thanks a lot for the help. ; OK i will install gparted and do that now. brb
mih1406, also known as "display managers" this "greeter" terminology is a new "ubuntu" term
escott: any idea how to install themes from gnome-look in 12.10? xD
Linkandzelda, no
I want to launch Transmission (torrent client) when my system is Idle similar to how the screensaver operates. Is there a script for this?
escott: damn
FireStorms: maybe, it is hidden somewhere in the world of Internet. xD Out of curiousity, I don't think so. :S
why do people feel the need to introduce new, confusing terminology for things with well established names?
can i make my desktop wallpaper a calender that changes by month
FireStorms: you could always delve into BASH-Scripting and write the script yourself. Would be an exercise into the unknown!
...or I could write the script for the cost of a donut/coffee!
;-p
basketballstar: gnome doesn't have a "change every month" function, but there maybe a gnome applet, or easier a cron job
If I could bash script I'd build the program myself. I'd log a mouse movement or a key stroke with a timestamp. Then check the inactivity between the last "user action"
what about default
basketballstar: no
FireStorms: python could even be used to implement something like that through the OS module
can i get a calender as my wallpaper that i can put event on
FireStorms, I would just generate the files, and then in bash you run the gsettings command to set the wallpaper on every login.
wilee-nilee: hey. here you go http://imagebin.org/234659
* chaospsychex tapes calender on basketballstar's desktop, then hands him a sharpie!
FireStorms, sorry not you
basketballstar: no
chaospsychex: help/do not help, but the pointless comments need to stop please.
FireStorms: here is one stupid way: put something in cron that checks if the screensaver is active
ikonia: acknowledged
chaospsychex: thank you
jrib, FireStorms problem with putting this in cron is it would need xauthority acces
wait canty i just make my google calender my wallpaper
is 12.10 stable? i mainly use debian stable (squeeze and lenny) but i want php-fpm and i dont' want to compile from source, so i was considering 12.10 but i need to know if it's truly stable...
basketballstar: because that's an application/website, a wallpaper is an image
jrib nice idea, I will try
basketballstar: What you want is as complicated as it seems to be simple.
basketballstar, http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:BukC833v8bIJ:lifehacker.com/5610502/embed-google-calendar-on-your-linux-desktop+&cd=1&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us&client=ubuntu
chipotle: officially, yes
i have a very old palm m130, i want to read text files on it, what encodings do i need
SunMoonStar, Cool so you have not installed ubuntu yet. I would shrink the windows using it app called disk manager then reboot it fro it to run the auto chkdsk to be sure it is okay. Then when you install the ubuntu in the space left as unallocated make a extnded partition in that space for the ubuntu a shared ntfs, and the swap partition. The key here is to estimate the size of that extended to con
 tain all of these partitions when you shrink the windows partition.
its*
wilee-nilee: win7 can also shrink its own partitions :)
ActionParsnip, That is what I said to use. ;)
wilee-nilee: yeah seen now :)
bsmith0931: they have their own format. but you can use jpilot and its utilities to send and recieve palmdoc files from the device
jpilot isnt working
i have the cradle and the usb connection to the computer
ActionParsnip, I putting a virtual linux partitioner on my christmas list. ;)
bsmith0931: are you able to hotsync the device?
yes but only on windows
im on ubuntu lucid
FireStorms: http://www.jwz.org/xscreensaver/faq.html#watch though xscreensaver isn't the default screensaver program on ubuntu
SunMoonStar, Does that make sense for you, using windows own partitioner to shrink it?
FireStorms: https://live.gnome.org/GnomeScreensaver/FrequentlyAskedQuestions#Is_there_a_way_to_perform_actions_when_the_screensaver_activates_or_deactivates.3F_Or_when_the_session_becomes_idle.3F here's your answer for gnome-screensaver
wilee-nilee: I think so. so for example, I can shrink windows partition to 450gb. then when i srestart and try to install ubuntu, i make an 'extended partition' (will be an option for 'extended'?) and make that 550gb/what's left, and within that, allocate 450gb to ubuntu and 100gb will be ntfs?
doesn't the ubuntu iso come with gparted ?
chaospsychex, i dont believe the newer versions do
bsmith0931: have you played around with the "sync port" settings yet?
I added a network card to a server (it works fine), and now apache won't serve pages to the internet. It was working (nothing else was changed), and it will serve on my lan without problem.
hi we new

ActionParsnip: and unofficially?
chipotle: its fine, get it in
SunMoonStar, I would use gparted to build the partitions on the ubuntu install, to set it up and use the do something else option at the install gui this is a manual install, we can help you there as well, and the making of the partitions. ;)
I tried adding the ip to both ports.conf and namevirtualhost directive. still no dice.
SunMoonStar: ...and you can use gparted to resize the win7 partition to make room for a ubuntu partition
dsprc:  to try and make it work yestreday, i dont even remeemberdsprc:  ummm, maybe i did so many tweaky thing
ActionParsnip: what about 12.04 LTS? does that use php5-fpm? then i could use nginx's official package
wilee-nilee: thanks. I want to take you up on it but think I should back up my windows stuff. Should I use gparted to resize windows 7 or use the one you mentioned within windows? also what is a virtual linux partitioner? :)
actionparsnip, how do you mount your brouser in a /tmp ram dir
chaospsychex, The general consensus these days is to let windows do its own partitioning it is safer
chipotle: ^ yes
SunMoonStar, I would not use gparted to resize windows that far myself, and yes back it up.
wilee-nilee: i see
chaospsychex: thanks
WeThePeople: I make a folder in /run at boot using /etc/rc.local  then I have a symlink from ~/.cache/google-chrome  to that folder already setup
escott: "ln -sfvn ..." doesn't want to overwrite directory with a symlink. Is it impossible, anyway ? I'v read "ln --help", and the definition to "--force" is the next: "remove existing destination files". Well ?
wilee-nilee, i've never heard that before. can windows partition a running fs?
wilee-nilee: if you are still here after i backed up i will check if you're here
wilee-nilee: thanks
actionparsnip, thanks
escott, Yes it is like magic in W7. ;)
although I have never ran into problems using gparted to resize ntfs partitions. as long as you make sure you don't 'cut' into files.
ActionParsnip: is 12.04 LTS more stable than 12.10?
wilee-nilee: ps, what is a virtual linx partitioner? you said it's on your wishlistr
escott, also does it instantaneously.
wilee-nilee: I don't think it is can be done in Win7 with default tools. But it can be done with "PartitionMagic"
Why is Chrome stuck at 18.x on Ubuntu Oneeric (11.10) ? I see 22.x is available from Google, but it won't install, it just keeps installing 18.x.  It's annoying because GDrive keeps saying I'm out of date.
chipotle: its intended to be, yes
Norbertoss, as i understand your problem you have /target_dir and you ln -s /target_dir /path/to/some/file and it makes /path/to/some/file->/target_dir. you then run it again and it makes /path/to/some/file->/target_dir/file which -n fixes
SunMoonStar, That is basically what the W7 partitioner is called as it does it on a running setup
ActionParsnip:  so who decides what stable means? with debian, it's simple. but it seems ubuntu is making it up...
Norbertoss, because the issue is how ln is interpreting the target (honestly i dont understand why you would ever NOT want -n)
is both 12.04 and 12.10 frozen?
Norbertoss, Yes it can I would not say it could if it did not. ;)
Norbertoss, but presumably somebody had a usecase for this back in the day
chipotle: packages are tested more in LTS before publishing
bsmith0931: you can try to 'dmesg | tail' and see if its being recognized
hm
wilee-nilee: as a sidenote, i bought a 1TB backup drive.. should I partition that into ext4/ntfs partitions or should I just save my linux stuff on ntfs? it works to do that?
chipotle: generally the packages in the LTS wil be older but the Quantal packages will be newer but not LTS
dsprc: i did the "press the hotsync button" -fu but it never worked
wilee-nilee, ok. im a bit more paranoid about things. i wouldn't recommend a live resize of a filesystem when an offline resize is available
ActionParsnip: what does long term support mean?
chipotle: 5 years support, non LTS is supported 1.5 years
SunMoonStar, cannot install ubuntu on NTFS it must have an ext4 you can link subfolders in $HOME to folders in the NTFS
SunMoonStar: i would do a half/half of ext4/ntfs. windows doesn't natively support ext4 without third-party drivers...
bsmith0931: assuming everything is kosher, you sometimes have to be ninja on the hotsync and press it from the palm first, then quickly again in jpilot
ActionParsnip: okay, i'll go with lts then
any reason not to?
SunMoonStar, All my externals are ntfs you can save to that with both OS's I save with a app called grsync in ubuntu this saves home and clone bothe OS to it as well.
dsprc: also, i have a crapload of text files sorted into many different folders, what will make them readable on the palm, wi\th minimal garbage chars due to encoding probelms?
escott: Is it able to overwrite a real directory too ?
personally, i despise the NTFS fs.
How do I update Chrome beyond 18.x.  Ubuntu won't let me, and Google Drive keeps giving a warning message about out of date.  It's annoying.
how long has lts been out?
chipotle: i'd advise it for servers, quantal is good if you want the latest bells and whistles
bsmith0931: are you using a specific reader or just Memo on the palm?
Norbertoss, you mean where /path/to/link is already a directory instead of /path/to/link either not existing or being a link?
umm how would i use memo on the palm
Norbertoss, my guess is no, because it would first have to rm -rf that folder which would be unexpected. i wouldnt want ln to be doing rm -rf with a single bad option
chipotle: 6.06, 8.04, 10.04, and 12.04 have all been LTS.  The versions correspond to YEAR.MONTH of release
escott, I can understand your thoughts here I have done it a lot of times with no problems. If you think what lvms and raid can do there are live resizes in linux as well.
jrib: ah! thanks :)
wilee-nilee: I am downloading grsync now. I am able to back up my windows from within this ubuntu using that !?
dw-: if 12.04, 20 is in precise-proposed, otherwise you may want to just install google-chrome
dw-: sorry no, it is in precise-updates now
dw-: do you not have -updates enabled?
SunMoonStar, Grsync os a app in ubuntu, you will only need it when installed, I don't know if it has a windows use honestly.
wilee-nilee, but those are (usually) done offline. in any case i don't know that i would say its a general consensus to have everyone doing this
bsmith0931: you just import them in the palmdoc format and $DEITY willing they automagically appear there
wilee-nilee, there is rsync for windows
SunMoonStar: you want to dual-boot on your internal hdd and use the 1tb external for storage, e.t.c ?
dsprc: what palmdoc format
any idea why a machine would revert to read only filesystem once a week or so
chaospsychex: yes
dsprc: can memo read sd cards?
Fudge, your disk is probably going bad. open the disk utility and check the SMART status
All I'm going to say here on the windows partitioner is that if you look at the ubuntu forums, this app is advised constantly. ActionParsnip also mentioned it in this discussion.
Fudge: fsck in liveCD, also grab the ultimate boot cd and check the drive with manufacturers tool
Fudge: make sure your backups are sufficiently up to date
SunMoonStar: it's very simple then. Boot the ubuntu image, resize the ntfs partition to make room. you have to make sure that you don't 'cut' into files that are on the ntfs partition though. You will see it, when you do it. it shows you the presence of files in relation to free-space on the partition.
escott: Thank you very much for made this clean for me. I just didn't want to use rm -rf in my code unneccesarily. I understodd that I have to ;). Hahha, I were glad, if it was act like that. xD
bsmith0931: it should be able to (IIRC) by ticking the menu at the top right and selecting the card. havent used the m1xx series i years tho.
thanks all. logging off to back stuff up.
SunMoonStar: have fun
SunMoonStar, Well I tried to help you, the people here who just not familiar with the advised options are just crowding in, best of luck. ;)
thanks guys
SunMoonStar: don't mess with the 100MB system partition that win7 uses!
back
wilee-nilee: should iuse grsync to back up my home stuff on this (I will eventually want to get rid of this WUBI) onto my external? cause i saw that ubuntu comes with a stock app for backing up
SunMoonStar, you could just install the new system then boot it and then copy your files off the wubi
SunMoonStar, unless you are short on disk space
SunMoonStar, I'm hesitant to say more as I'm being contradicted, this just makes things confusing for you. I know what I'm doing is all I will say.
wilee-nilee: i'd like to hear your suggestion :)
bsmith0931: youre better off getting a dedicated reader though. http://www.memoware.com/mw.cgi/?screen=help_format
SunMoonStar, I'm very careful what I post, and I don't like being faced on the channel, so you have to understand my limitations in this.
wilee-nilee: ?
whow
nice guy and quite helpful but seems quite sensitive
I can't boot ubuntu installation iso from my SCSI CDROM; I've set the boot order to boot the CDROM first to no avail :(
SunMoonStar, you are bound to get different opinions in the channel, because people have different opinions. go with what you feel comfortable with
escott: thanks.
wyclif, i would check if this cd can boot on another system
wyclif: dang man, still having the problem huh, it's been hours
wyclif, it very well may be that the image no longer works for the particular scsi boot you need. in which case you either (a) need to get an IDE cd drive and boot that (b) do an upgrade following !eol
wyclif: wish i coul help you but i'm not very familiar with scsi
chaospsychex: yeah I did what you recommended and ran md5sum on the disc
wyclif: and ?
chaospsychex: still can't get the iso to boot
wyclif: was the md5 the same ?
chaospsychex: Yes!
which packages do I need for Power Management in KDE to work?
wyclif: do you have other computers?
chaospsychex: I have access to a friend's MBP
svspl: try running:  apt-cache search kde | grep power
wyclif: mbp ?
chaospsychex: mac book pro
oh
chaospsychex: MacBookPro :)
ActionParsnip, tried that, nothing
svspl: try in #kubuntu too
wyclif: are you on the system right now?
I did
chaospsychex: yes
put a cd in that you know works
 I have added a new usb  hard drive to my server and installed usbmount.  I can see usb-usb7 directories added to /media  but nothing is in the directories.  I saved data there on another computer with rsync to this drive.  Is it not available to another computer?
BTW, that EOLUupgrades page doesn't exist
wyclif, sure exists for me
wyclif: or, put the ubuntu cd in and try to mount it to see if you can access the fs on the disc
wyclif: you know, you have been at this for hours with no luck and I feel your pain. Why don't you try booting to the .iso from the hdd ?
chaospsychex: how to do that? For example:
chaospsychex, thats not going to work well for him. because he will need to install over the same FS that houses the iso
chaospsychex: sudo mount /media/cdrom
escott: yes but if he could somehow get the .iso onto a seperate partition. but resizing it when he can't boot...can't resize while it's mounted and in use
chaospsychex, yeah thats what i was getting at
chaospsychex: mount: no media found on /dev/sr0
wyclif: do you have any un-partioned space on the hd ?
chaospsychex: yes
chaospsychex: plenty of free space
wyclif: how much free un-partioned space ?
wyclif, if it is big enough to hold the iso you can put the iso in that and use grub to boot the iso
wyclif: not FREE space, UN-PARTIONED space ?
chaospsychex: how do I check that?
chaospsychex: yes
wyclif: with gparted, or disk utility, or fdisk
I have GRUB 0.97
wyclif, how about you send us the output of "sudo parted -l"
wyclif: yes, what escott said
does anybody know of a urxvt PPA for quantal?
escott: 17.6 GB primary, 18.4GB extended, 18.4GB logical (linux-swap)
wyclif: how big is that drive ?
How would I go about changing the theme of the notifcation bubbles?
chaospsychex: 17GB
wyclif: um, no. the WHOLE drive
wyclif, it sounds like there is no unused space on the system. you could perhaps steal the swap space though. swapoff /dev/sdX# and then put dd the iso into that partition
actionparsnip, is it possible to drag and drop from /usr/share/applications >>> chromium web browser into the tmpfs in ram and have it all run in ram??
I'm attempting to upgrade from grub to grub2. I'm following the instructions here:  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2/Upgrading  ... and what I'm seeing has diverged from what the guide says. I'm not sure what to do next.
oh jeez
sorry
WeThePeople: that won't work, you need to link the cache folder to a folder in tempfs
wyclif, but if you paste the full output of parted -l we can tell you for sure
chaospsychex: escott: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1333536
WeThePeople: the file in /usr/share/applications is mothing but a launcher, like a shortcut or start menu item in Windows
wyclif, what in blazes....
s1lence: http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=rxvt-unicode&searchon=names&suite=quantal&section=all   why do you need a PPA?
wyclif, i guess this is your scsi raid being stupid and reporting multiple disks instead of a single logical disk?
wyclif: 0.o ?
yes, big problem there
s1lence: or am I missing something?
escott: I don't know why it repeats the entries like that. I did paste the full return from parted -l
wyclif: g2g,escott has you covered
how i upghrade to ubuntu on desktop with out losing any thing i got now
|
wyclif, yeah thats not correct. no tool should be able to access independently the disks in the raid
?
im on windows now
wyclif, im not sure what to tell you to do. i would worry that the commands i might give you could corrupt your existing system
hello how is everyone doing
raymondjtoth_, make a backup first to be sure.
OerHeks: ok then what i do
i dont want to formate
raymondjtoth_, then upgrade ?
OerHeks: imwn windows want to migrate to ubuntu
Asking again, had some network issues.  Since upgrading to 12.10, f-spot takes about 5 seconds to display photos on an external USB disk.  Seems slower than in 12.04.  Any one see worse USB mass storage performance?  Think f-spot is same version...
escott: chaospsychex: I'm guessing it's because you can terminate up to 15 devices on a SCSI bus, but in fact on this system the only devices are the HDD (shown) and the CDROM drive
raymondjtoth_, then go for install, you cannot upgrade windows to ubuntu.
OerHeks: ok how i keep ubuntu and never see windows agen
\
?
ActionParsnip: thanks
raymondjtoth_, so you want to delete windows and keep ubuntu?
no i want to keep the files i got now and move over to ubuntu
with out a formate
wyclif, so you evidently have (or intend to have RAID) so all the file access should be running through a /dev/md* device which the scsi controller should duplicate to the different disks
wyclif, the fact that parted can see the different disks in the RAID array is VERY VERY VERY BAD BAD BAD
OerHeks:  understand
raymondjtoth_, i don't understand what you want.
escott: great :( do you know how I can fix that?
escott: how bad again (haha jk)
wyclif, because you should NOT be doing anything with /dev/sda but rather be running everything through /dev/md
OerHeks: i want to keep filess i got here on windows and just install as upgrade to ubuntu withg out lossing files
wyclif, so i would recommend you back everything up first
escott: i assumed /dev/sda is how all SCSI devices are set up
escott: I backed everything up about an hour ago, so I'm good with that
wyclif, /dev/sda is a real physical disk that actually exists. /dev/md* is a multi-device which could hit multiple physical disks like /sda, /sdb etc
escott: yep, /dev/sda is my HDD here
actionparsnip, so i create a symlink to the tmpfs from the .cache folder, what needs to go into the .cache folder to make it work properly?
Can you set up a /dev/md with a RAM disk too?
wyclif, what does "swapon -s" show
wyclif, but im also seeing this /dev/sdb is that also a physical disk that exists?
WeThePeople: i'm not sure what folder chromium uses, but if you make a folder in tempfs you can link it to that
escott: /dev/sdo5
wyclif, ditto on sdc - sdl or whatever
actionparsnip, ok thanks
wyclif, so swapon -s only shows sdo5?
escott: could that be the CDROM drive?
escott: yes
WeThePeople: as its tempfs the changes are lost each reboot so you'll need to recreat it with /etc/rc.local and because that runs as root, you will need to chown it to your username
wyclif, no. sdo5 should really be the same as sda5 and sdb5 and so on
wyclif, thats what is scaring me
escott: the only two devices on this SCSI bus are the Seagate HDD and the CDROM drive.
wyclif, so the scsi controller is doing something all kinds of wrong, because thats not what it is telling the kernel. the kernel thinks you have a dozen disks in this system
escott: right, instead of sda-o
escott: so I'm wondering how to fix that. BTW, I do have access to the BIOS and the SCSI BIOS, and thought all the settings there are good
escott: yes, at post it tells me "too many devices terminated" but it will still boot ubuntu jaunty from the HDD
anyone here built vga plug dongles to run X with no screen ?
can anyone help me out with installing quantal on a zenbook ux32a?
wyclif, also the fact that you are on grub1 means im not sure we can do what we proposed
guys, as some know I want to make a shared partition ntfs for windows and ubuntu to share files. currently i have one big ntfs block only as i'm running ubuntu on wubi. So, when i install ubuntu and my shared parition, should they be encapsulated in one 'extended' partition? or should I just simply make 2 totally separate partitions for them?
wyclif, looking at http://superuser.com/questions/154133/grub-boot-from-iso
even with nomodeset it wont boot
jonne: what video chip do you use
SunMoonStar, either way is fine. windows doesnt always like booting from an extended partition but ubuntu doesnt care if it is extended
it's an intel hd 4000
jonne, what version of ubuntu
quantal
jonne: strange, does Precise intall ok?
jonne, sorry just saw it. you shouldn't be having any problems or need nomodeset
escott: since extended is an extra step, i will not use that
jonne: tried the safemode VGA (if its still an option)
escott: since they are equally fine. makes sense?
escott: b/c i don't know what's the advantage
SunMoonStar, sure. just be aware of the 4 partition limit on logicals, and that you will need a partition for ubuntu swap
jonne, answe #7 maybe the solution >> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2060762 >>>  change "nomodeset"  to "acpi_osi=windows"
anyone here built vga plug dongles to run X with no screen ?
hola alguien sabe como haker una cuenta de faceboock
it just stopped at stopping systemv runlevel compatibility
actionparsnip, this is what came up for chromium>>> http://paste.ubuntu.com/1333562/ i woulnd have a clue what to use
escott: okay, thanks
my grub menu has many duplicate entries: http://pastebin.com/fPu7JCv9 how do i fix this?
.2s lag
paulschreiber, i dont see any duplicates
Someone knows like hakear an account of faceboock
WeThePeople: /home/ace/.cache/chromium
paulschreiber, ahhh just keep scrolling ok
trying with that boot option now
escott: looks like it's not possible via GRUB1
wyclif, or at least not easy :)
WeThePeople: you only needed to search your home folder, we knew it was going to be in there
Guest8764, hacking is offtopic
Why does Compiz keep crashing after every restart? I just fresh installed ubuntu
Chotaz: are you fully updated?
paulschreiber, looks like you have multiple versions of ubuntu installed. is that correct?
ActionParsnip,  yes sir
escott: this has been a lesson to me not to let a version go into unsupported without updating :(
Just to share with all, if you don't have status or status-old in /var/lib/dpkg   you can copy one from /var/backup
wyclif, still not understanding why you cant get the EOLUpgrades page to load
wyclif, that would seem to be the easiest way to do things
Chotaz: which release?
escott: there are no other OSes installed
doesn't appear to work
n #owncloud
just got a black screen
paulschreiber, im wondering what could be confusing the os-prober script
actionparsnip, so i just link to .cache/chromium to tmpfs and it will work??
escott: me too!
ActionParsnip,  12.10, I came back from a really bad case of using "purge"
escott: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUupgrades ???
paulschreiber, do you have multiple disks? using RAID?
wyclif, yes
screw it, i'll just keep using windows until i can do it at home.
guys my window decorations have gone again lol
scott: yes, using software raid (mdadm) 2 disks
WeThePeople: its a link to a folder
googling stuff on my phone isn't too practical
escott: "This page does not exist yet. You can create a new empty page, or use one of the page templates"
WeThePeople: so you will need to make the folder
paulschreiber, i bet thats the issue
wyclif, odd. certainly not what i see
WeThePeople: then make the link to it, add commands in /etc/rc.local to make the same folder and chown to your user at boot
escott: http://pastebin.com/AkvUaDYS that's my mdstat
wyclif, ok now im getting that too. maybe the help.ubuntu.com server is having problems
wyclif, escott https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades not  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUupgrades ( look at the Uu
escott: YES, I think you're right about that, because I remember hitting this page earlier today and there was content. Now, nothing but a placeholder
OerHeks: errm...thanks! ugh... :(((
paulschreiber, so the quick and dirty fix is to remove /etc/grub.d/30_os-prober
paulschreiber, as long as you have no other OSes it won't matter to you
OerHeks, thanks for catching that
escott: http://inky.ws/g/2ao
ActionParsnip, nvm my problem, seems to have vanished
escott: it's showing wheezy/sid, which makes no sense
Chotaz: sweet, best kind of problem
paulschreiber, well because thats evidently what your system looks like to os-prober (which makes sense as ubuntu is based on sid)
I'm attempting to upgrade from grub to grub2. I'm following the instructions here:  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2/Upgrading  ... and what I'm seeing has diverged from what the guide says. I'm not sure what to do next.
paulschreiber, but something has gone wrong because it should be able to detect itself (even in a raid system)
escott: my botched 12.10 upgrade must have done something bad
actionparsnip, do i point to tmpfs or .cache?
escott: i had to boot in recovery mode, and can only boot with 3.2 (3.5 won't work in recovery mode)
WeThePeople: sigh
paulschreiber, well 3.5 is a newer kernel so it might not like the hardware
WeThePeople: sudo mkdir /run/chromium; rm -r /home/ace/.cache/chromium
hmm, hud-service and unity-panel-service procs seem to spike CPU when moving betweetn photos in f-spot -- does that make sense?!
WeThePeople: then run:   ln -s /run/chromium /home/ace/.cache/chromium
WeThePeople: sudo chown ace:ace /run/chromium
actionparnsip, i have the tmpfs in ram setup do i need to undo this for these scripts to work?
WeThePeople: in /etc/rc.local add the command to make the folder and chown it to your user above the 'exit 0' line
WeThePeople: then change the folder and you ar egolden
so i screwed up my ubuntu12.10 desktop.  i removed unity and compiz and now i can get unity installed again.  i get the following error message
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:
I'm coming from debian. Is there much of a difference administrating an ubuntu server versus a debian one?
escott: just tried running sudo do-release-upgrade, but it returns "an upgrade from jaunty to lucid is not supported by this tool"
paulschreiber, afraid its a bit hard to guess what might be messed up following the installer crash
Does anyone know of any online screen sharing software such as Join.me that works on Linux? Or software like ManyCam that works?
escott: my packages are also messed up: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1333588/ http://paste.ubuntu.com/1333587/ http://paste.ubuntu.com/1333582/
sorry, didnt mean to flood... ill use http://paste.ubuntu.com
NomadJim, not particularly
NomadJim, there are a few additional tools mostly related to non-free stuff (like proprietary drivers)
actionparsnip, is /run in 12.04?
WeThePeople, i thought that was a 12.10 addition
escott: i seem to have circular unmet dependencies
escott:  cool. The only thing I can think I've seen is that it's different to restart a service on ubuntu
escott, idk
escott:  wasn't sure if there were a bunch of gotchas like that
paulschreiber, so you either have to chase those down and somehow fix them... or just backup your files and do a clean install which is what i woudl do
paulschreiber, i think you was using ppa repo, was that right ?
so i screwed up my ubuntu12.10 desktop.  i removed unity and compiz and now i can get unity installed again.  i get the following error message: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1333596/
NomadJim, i dont do much with debian and im sure there are differences but most of the stuff on debian-administrators.org is pretty well applicable to ubuntu
blackshirt: no, no ppa
NomadJim, provided you know about things like upstart
paulschreiber, all of components have you activated ?
blackshirt: pardon?
wyclif, sorry im fresh out of ideas... i would probably just buy new hardware, dont know if thats an option for you
paulschreiber, main restricted multiverse and universe
escott:  thanks

escott, sorry new to this chat
clutchhack, "/join #ubuntu-offtopic" and you can talk in there
qmanjr5: have you checked out the application cheese from the software center
does ubuntu have a good alternative to Active Directory?
so a combination of Samba and OpenLDAP?
BluPhenix316: Only OpenLDAP. Samba is the replacement for the file share part of Windows only.
BluPhenix316, depends on what features you need from AD. AD is pretty broad set of features
i'm very new to all of this, i'm in school now for network administration, and I was having a dicussion with one of my teachers because they never mention linux and they told me the problem with linux is it doesn't have a good alternative to active directory
BluPhenix316, samba4 (which is currently alpha) is meant to encompass all of AD in a single package
i don't know anything about this, so i'm trying to do my research
so OpenLDAP covers network log on and permissions?
meant0m: Before I install this, are you sure this'll work from my desktop, or is it only for webcams?
escott: A virtual webcam
qmanjr5, a virtual webcam?? so this would be a camera that takes picture of virtual people in a virtual world?
ello
friens
BluPhenix316, but openldap is to sync your usernames and passwords across different systems (combine that with nfs to sync the users home files and such)
*sigh*
escott: No. :P
anyone know how to fix broken packages: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1333634/
escott: Similar to desktop sharing, but so I'm able to use it on websites such as TinyChat or uStream.
Similar to ManyCam for Windows.
qmanjr5: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Webcam
qmanjr5, none of these programs mean anything to me
meant0m: do you have quantal-proposed enabled?
oh wow from the Samba 4 information this looks exactly what I need to bring up, its only in release candidate phase though
OerHeks: I've tried webcamstudio, but the output doesn't work.
meant0m: or rather, pastebin: apt-cache policy unity libunity-core-6.0-5 unity-services
BluPhenix316, depends on if you need windows integration of a pure UNIX solution
qmanjr5: I cant guarantee that it will work with your desktop but give it a try! https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Webcam
BluPhenix316, for a pure UNIX environment ldap+NFS would be your best choice
trism: thanks, will do that!
oh
i come
i come
dear
oh,my god
meant0m: Cheese just gave this error: http://pastebin.com/mXzDtFYb
i am from china
BluPhenix316, samba4 has been in development for a long time you could probably use it in a small environment without too much trouble. i wouldn't recommend it if you can get fired though, but if the biggest risk is your wife making you sleep on the couch...
trism: here is the output: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1333657/
how to open .pfx in linux?
meant0m: sudo apt-get install unity-services/quantal;
onazari, what is a pfx
meant0m: you have a leftover package from -proposed it seems
escott: nah this is just conversation to have with my teacher, i'm trying to promote more linux/bsd in my school, all our classes are windows and cisco
certificated file
onazari, from what application?
Vote for Linux: http://www.robertsspaceindustries.com/poll-additional-stretch-goals/
onazari, perhaps gpg if this is a pgp file of some kind
my cisco teacher is also currently the program director of the networking technologies degree
i have a pdf file need key installation to open
Can I make a script that opens multiple files in gedit tabs?
trism: awesome! so that worked. it downgraded unity-services.  So should I now do: sudo apt-get install unity
I should try just making one that opens some... and see, before asking.
meant0m: yeah you should be able to now
this file is include this key http://www.chap.sch.ir/pdf/KeyInstallationGuide.pdf
man either ubuntu needs to rename unity, or unity game engine needs to rename their engine
[snake], gedit file1 & gedit file2 & gedit file3
was just discussion game development with the unity engine and i looked here and see people installing unity, i had to think for a minute hehe
onazari, this is an old howto ( 2007) but still valid >> http://rackerhacker.com/2007/03/23/exporting-ssl-certificates-from-windows-to-linux/
howdy all. Would like to play around with some game development. preferably simple 3d. syntensity is no longer developed, and octaforge is far to beta. Anyone recommend a well documented sandbox style environment to play around with??? cheers
escott, yeah, that's what I'm thinking. for some reason I have a bad habit of coming on here and asking questions that are obvious :P
bluephoenix316, are you sure ?
escott, (at least for me- if I thought about it for a second)
escott, also shouldn't there be two & symbols or am I wrong?
blackshirt: sure about what?
[snake], & and && have different meanings. the first says "run all these in the background" the second says "wait until the first completes and if successful run the next"
So I just downloaded all packages named "gtk3-*" was that a good thing to do?
bluephoenix316, game development relies on unity ?
BluPhenix316, Ubuntu is not going to change the name "unity" so what do you do now ?
qmanjr5: checkout http://askubuntu.com/questions/110725/why-can-i-not-start-cheese
escott, ahh. thanks!! I actually didn't know that :P
Linkandzelda: probably not
blackshirt, no there is a game engine, that runs on linux called Unity
[snake], gui applications usually background themselves when they detect that they are running in shell so the behavior is much the same, but the semantics are different
its not ubuntu's desktop enviornment called unity
almoxarife: really? :/
BluPhenix316: unity is a shell
right, shell to gnome
BluPhenix316: gnome is the desktop for Ubuntu
;)
sorry, i need to be more specific ;-)
Linkandzelda: then again, you won't have to worry about missing anything gtk3 either
anyhoo, a lot of kickstarter games that are being made for linux are using the unity game engine
trism: unity installed without error.  thank you so much, i researched this for hours.
almoxarife: that was my plan lol, lots of themes im trying for gtk3 and they seem to be broken
Did you guy try ubuntu studio yet?
meant0m: excellent
trism: how do i set it up so that when i restart, unity loads up
speaking of which, unity is really growing on me, i definately like it a whole lot better than gnome-shell
arty, join #ubuntustudio
actionparsnip, see 10.04 in this page>>> http://goo.gl/nXr8h , i am in the process of editing chromium in 10.04 section of that page, what command do i use from http://paste.ubuntu.com/1333562/ , this is what the command is set to right now >>> /usr/bin/chromium-browser %U for the chromium launcher on my panel
meant0m: it should remember your choice (if you have unity-greeter the cog in the corner next to your user name selects the session)
trism: cool, im going to give it a shot!  hopefully i'll brb soon :D
WeThePeople: I gave you the method already
WeThePeople: chromium='chromium-browser' process name/d
hey is cairo dock good? i usually use AWN, but apparently it isn't being developed anymore
bluphenix316, yes
trism: you rock. it worked
almoxarife, is that the command for the launcher
meant0m: happy to hear it
WeThePeople: launcher?
almoxarife, what were you referring to
is the only way to view netflix in ubuntu, through a vm with windows on it?
escott: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1333684/
BluPhenix316, yes
WeThePeople: chromium process/prog is 'chromium-browser' in ubuntu
bummer
paulschreiber, yeah? is this after you removed 30_os-prober
How can I make sure that upon restart, my second HDD(NTFS) is mounted before a daemon (deluged) is ran?
no. i just rebooted
via recovery mode
Quick question folks, when it says to boot up with the live cd and then run a live session, does that meaan click "Try Ubuntu"?
Chotaz, you can edit the upstart dependencies for deluged's upstart file
Chotaz: insure the partion is added/shown in the file 'fstab' , /etc/fstab
paulschreiber, ok... not sure what that was meant to accomplish then
Sean21_: yes
Thanks
escott: trying to see if i can get it to boot via the default choice "ubuntu", but that just hangs and complains that there's no /dev/shm
almoxarife, my problem is when I restart my computer and deluged starts scanning /media/user/MyBook for my torrents it wont find it and I have to manually recheck my torrents when this happens
escott, the upstart file I created was simply following a guide, I have no clue how to accomplish that, can you help me with it?
I'm trying to compile dmenu with xft support, and my makefile is complaining about: /usr/include/ft2build.h:56:38: fatal error: freetype/config/ftheader.h: No such file or directory
apt-file tells me I have the packages with that file, though
I'm working with a setup with four machines PXE booting ubuntu thin client off a central server (ubuntu 10.3.4 LTS I think).  The users just enter the username (e.g. terminal1, terminal2 etc) and no password. Occasionally somebody fumble-fingers and it brings up a gnome screen-saver, but of course there's no password, so they can't escape it.  Even rebooting the client machine doesn't unlock it.
alecb, check if the file is there... if not. remove the include statement for it or anyything referencing it.
Chotaz: is /media/user shown in the file /etc/fstab ?
puff, give the users passwords maybe. Though I'm not telling you how to run your servers just a suggestion.
12.10: the purple boot screen  "the disk drive for /dev/shm is not ready yet or not present"
how do i fix that?
How do I either a) figure out the passwords for the terminal, or b) lock out gnome screen saver somehow.?
puff you could remove gnome screensaver
[snake]: They're roughly equiv to cybercafe machines..
[snake]: HM, good point.
Chotaz, you'll have to read the upstart documentation, but the "start on BLAH" line in the /etc/init/deluged.conf dictates when deluged starts you need to ensure that that happens AFTER the required filesystem is mounted. perhaps by checking for the existence of a particular file you might put in the folder you will mount?
puff, cybercafe machines should have passwords in my opinion as well. don't want stranger installing random warez on your linux.
that is if I'm getting the cyber cafe term correct
Has anyone had luck setting up a video-on-demand streaming server on ubuntu?  I keep trying to get Red5 working, but have connection problems (even from localhost)
superlou: install xbmc , its fool proof
Cool, removing the gnome-screensaver package seems to have removed lock screen from the menu.  Anybody know the keyboard shrotcut for lock screen?
puff ctrl alt L
ctrl alt l
[snake]: oh, the file does exist. I guess the dmenu source is just referencing it wrong or something?
puff, a reboot should clear everything off the system. i don't understand why a pxe boot would not come back clean
superlou: xmbc for sure
almoxarife, that can do rtmp streaming (not sure if that's the right keyword).  Trying to embed it onto a website via JWPlayer or similar
alecb, hmm... I'm not sure :(
Cool.
almoxarife, meant0m, basically need to create my own vimeo (though significanlty simpler)
escott: Yeah, except we dont' want to have to reboot all four machines when everybody's working.
superlou: not sure
escott: Rebooting the thin client machine didn't reset the gnome session, AFAICT.
almoxarife, apparently not, only my system's and it's swap partition are there
puff, im just wondering if something more fundamental is mis-configured. a reboot should be whipping everything off the system
puff, is there some kind of filesystem that is mounted rw that shouldn't be?
Chotaz: is /media/user shown in the file /etc/mtab ? that's mtab
Entirely possible... this thing already has a messed up network config, it doesn't get a connection on reboot, I have to login and do a sudo dhclient and then everything works fine.
escott: Well it's a thin client setup... you undersatnd?
escott: E.g. the client machien is rebooted, but all the client machine is really doing is displaying a user's gnome session that's actually running on the central server.
almoxarife, it is
superlou: not sure, ill have to do some looking around.  whats the problem your having with Red5
escott: So it makes a sort of sense that rebooting the client machine doesn't necessarily reboot the user's gnome session.
tohtori_, escott I think he means the problem is the server serving broken gnome screensaver
sorry tohtori_ Idk why you were there lol
Chotaz: using gedit in gksu mode, edit fstab to include the line you see in mtab showing '/media/user'
puff, ok... but the users aren't real (AKA trusted) users which is why they dont have passwords and meaningful usernames --- right?? so if thats the case then everything they do should be discarded and their session restored from a blank image when they disconnect
superlou: have you tried Theorur
almoxarife, do you mind telling me, that besides probably fixing my problem what are we achieving with this?
meant0m, got it installed via repository, and can see it at localhost:5080, but when I try to "install a ready-made application" (which seems to be an important step), I receive Error NetConnection.Connect.Failed.  Have been trawling the net trying to find a solution but no luck yet
Chotaz: sure, you are making that partion 'live' from boot time
puff, in any case what you need to do is modify the default image to disable the gnome-screensaver by just uninstalling the application
escott: Yeah, that's what it's set up as now, but that's not always the way thin clients are done.
 
meant0m, hadn't heard about it, but i've got a requiremnet to do H.264 encoding
escott: Cool, thanks, did that and it seems to be working okay.
puff, my point is the config sounds off from a security setup. if i dont trust them to give them passwords i dont want to save anything from one boot to the next. i want them to be reimaged on every pxe boot
almoxarife, it looks like some folks used xbmc as rtmp source, but it looks more like a hack than a solution :)
escott, I agree!
escott: I get that, but I'm pretty sure the actual client machine *is* reimaged, but that doesn't mean the gnome user session is killed.  I'd prefer that happen too.
escott: But this setup is only going to live a few more days, then it's going to be torn down, so I'll leave a note for the teardown admins and they can maybe fix that for the future :-).
[snake], escott: mucho thanks for your help.
superlou: i have xbmc serving up via upnp, i watch it on a rooted kindle tablet, i am not sure how it would serve up with other protocol
puff, no problem! :)
puff, the way this probably works is thin client runs X server runs VNC client to connect to VNC server on real system
puff, and the VNC server needs to trigger a gnome-session-logout when it sees the VNC client on the thinclient logout
almoxarife, just restarted the machine in question, everything is working now, thanks!
Chotaz: good :)
is there any way I can clone my current Ubuntu install onto another system?
ghost4linux
Linkandzelda: dd or rsync
Linkandzelda, clonezilla
Linkandzelda: you don't want to clone to another system unless they are identical
superlou: have you checked out -- http://flexion.wordpress.com/2008/07/29/my-first-struggle-with-red5-server/
meant0m, looking now.  All this makes me wary of red5.  I wonder if i'm going about this the wrong way.  Maybe I don't need a streaming server to get JWPlayer to play them.  Will try that really quick.
almoxarife, ActionParsnip and escott, thanks for the help, I've learned now not to mess with the purge command ^^
Apport-gtk is using a high amount of cpu--according to Top.
looks like platinum arts studio is the answer
spaceneedle, which cpu do you have?
I'm having difficulty with persuading smplayer to use VDPAU and get the error "Cannot find codec matching selected -vo and video format 0x31637661" when I run mplayer with -vo vdpau -vc ffmpeg12vdpau
anyone have an idea why that might happen?
Noob question, where is the "System-<Administration
intel pentium dual core. Ubuntu 12.10--32 bit version.
System->Administration
Sean21_, it's in the Applications menu on mine... which desktop are you using.
12.10
oops
Sean21_, I assume that means you're using whatever came with ubuntu 12.10
correct
I don't know about it... sorry. :(
spaceneedle, It must be because your cpu is old.
spaceneedle, but maybe it is unusually high cpu usage?
Sean21_, what are you trying to do in system -- administration?
is usb-creator installed with ubuntu?
for this error bash: /usr/bin/sandbox: Permission denied am i right that chmod +x should give me permission to run it the same as shell scripts?
snake:my laptop is 4yrs old.
anyone know hwo I can set up a samba share that is actually an external usb drive?
I already tried setting up symlinks but it doesnt show the symlinks on the share from remote computers
usb creator, meant0m
meant0m, well, if i don't care about people snatching my videos and downloading them, i don't even need a bloody streaming server.  nice
spaceneedle, it's ok. I'm not sure what apport-gtk is so maybe you can end it if you know what you're doing with killall gtk. but if you don't know about it I wouldn't just kill it like that.
Snowie, anything in /usr/bin should be owned by root. if you manually install something it should NEVER be placed in /usr/bin use /usr/local/bin instead
err... killall apport-gtk not gtk spaceneedle
Sean21_: should be, called something like 'startup disk' i believe
of course I am the one to tell people to type my name out and it start with brackets haha.
It says to find in System->Administration
That I cant find
snake:thanks!
Sean21_: depends on your setup, but always can install usb-creator-gtk
Snowie, its also possible that error is from inside /usr/bin/sandbox (ie sandbox is running and then tries to do something and gets the permission error)
it was the default installer for the app. it said it would install in /usr/share/local/games. but the command $ sandbox gives me that error
apparently spaceneedle just wanted to quit the program... he should have said so. :P
Sean21_: hit alt-f2 , type in 'startup'
perhaps. tested with sudo and command not found error. not really keen to run it as root, or change my path
salam alikom
Sean21_, click on the unity icon up at the top left and type in Startup Disk Creator
abdelazizpc, arabic?
hi
how do i make my .wav files into an audio cd
hmm, any suggestions to hunt down what might be going wrong?
escott: root@green:~# sudo update-initramfs -k all -u
update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-3.2.0-32-generic
update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-2.6.27-11-generic
grep: /boot/config-2.6.27-11-generic: No such file or directory
hmmm
me
That wont work with a usb drive
superlou, lol!
escott: i certainly don't have 2.6.27 anywhere
paulschreiber, Please use pastebin next time if you can. :)
paulschreiber, you could purge it with dpkg
Sean21_, what are you trying to do?
escott: dpkg -l |grep 2.6.27 returns nothing
paulschreiber: do you have synaptic package manager?
hetRidler, Winff?
almoxarife: pretty sure no. what's that?
I need to run boot-repair
paulschreiber: gui for deb management
caffeinegum, I think winff is just a gui for ffmpeg which converts media.
maybe brasero for burining ausio cds
almoxarife: i'm sshd in to a headless box.
lol burining :P
paulschreiber, try dpkg -l "*linux*"
my bad all. turns out the package i want is in the repo's anyway. will install from there and test
Sean21_:grub ?
paulschreiber: which kernel is the one you want to toss?
Yes
escott: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1333727/
I installed ubuntu after windows
almoxarife: i have 3.2 and 3.5 installed
But for whatever reason when I finished installing ubuntu and restarted the computer, windows 7 booted up and no grub menu was there
Sean21_: follow first link, use a live cd or grub-recuecd cd
almoxarife: i am booted in to 3.2
Sean21_, have you checked out -- https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair
Sean21_: ask if unsure
paulschreiber, if dpkg no longer things they are installed i guess you could just rm them. its not like your system isn't already pretty well borked
almoxarife: i have no idea where it's finding 2.6 anything
escott: where? they're not in /boot
ledah?
ok
Say i'm inside vim is there a command i can run to maximize my terminal to my entire screen and then maybe reverse it back to how it was...
paulschreiber: run 'update-grub'
almoxarife: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1333734/
midnightcoffee, please be a little more specific. hitting the maximize button will maximize the terminal.
paulschreiber, why not just reinstall
escott: how? i don't have physical access to the machine
paulschreiber, without knowing where the upgrade went south there is no telling what else you might end up having to fix
snake, is there a key i press rather then moving my mouse to hit the button
Sean21_: just put the nick you want to talk to, so your message gets highlighte on the other side when replying
d*
paulschreiber: so you are good with the 3.5 , booted into it already?
almoxarife: no, booted into 3.2
can somone tell me why all 16gb of my ram gets compeltly cached after 2-3 hours of use?
oh
paulschreiber: reboot into the 3.5 if that's the one you want to be in, then again via ssh you are at the mercy of things working out
midnightcoffee, I just tried all of the alt+fx keys. so I don't think there is one :/
midnightcoffee, besides alt f4 thats bad
Linkandzelda, because you paid for it
almoxarife: i'm unable to get 3.5 to boot
midnightcoffee, this would be a perfect question for google! since it's not really a problem :P
Linkandzelda, if you spent money to buy the ram, and you spend money to power the ram, wouldnt it make sense for the kernel to use the ram
hey I need help getting permission to read and write on my external hdd
midnightcoffee, no offense it's just lazy. unless you're missing a mouse. in that case sorry.
thomrenault, can you paste.ubuntu.com the output of "mount" on the terminal'
escott: yea, that makes sense. but crashing and errors of being out of kernel memory dont make sense
paulschreiber: when you boot back with 3.2 , does/did it retain the boot.log from the 3.5?
Linkandzelda, then that would suggest some kind of memory leak
escott: I bet its from chromium
midnightcoffee: what client are you using?
almoxarife: i haven't booted in to 3.5 afaik. where's the boot log?
paulschreiber: /var/log/boot?????.log ?
Linkandzelda, the kernel should be pretty protective of its own memory, a userspace application should not cause the kernel to run out of memory. i thought you were saying that after a few hours the free memory in "free -m" was zero because it was all in the cached line which is actually a good desirable behavior
almoxarife: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1333743/
.... /dev/sdb1 on /media/Odysseus type fuseblk (rw,nosuid,nodev,allow_other ,default_permissions, blksize=4096)
Linkandzelda, if you get a kernel oops b/c the kernel is out of memory (and not an out of memory application kill) after a few hours then its likely a driver issue
AcctionParsnip, i'm afraid i don't understand. The window maximize thing is something i need most often when codeing in vim through the terminal.
escott: well, I ran htop, and the bar was compeltly full, but 75% of it was yellow to indicate cache
I'm not having issues writing on the ubuntu computer, but when I move the drive (which I just formatted) to OSx
thomrenault, so thats a fuseblk meaning its probably an NTFS folder. the person logged into the system should have read/write access
midnightcoffee, which terminal is it? what desktop environment are you in. "be more specific please"
thomrenault, but if two people are logged in then the second might not get access
and i only got a kernel out of memory error when compiz crashed and I lost window borders and did alt + super + f1 to open a terminal, thats where it said kernel out of memory
paulschreiber: i can't what kernel that was being used, i would assume the current one that was used to generate the 'cat'
Linkandzelda, all that yellow is good and nothing to worry about. think of yellow as being just as good as free ram
midnightcoffee: cccsm can do that stuff as far as I know (assuming you use compiz)
Linkandzelda, is it saying kernel out of memory or is the kernel saying that it is in an out-of-memory condition and triggering the OOM killer (subtle difference)
paulschreiber: i guess what is more important is why do you need kernel 3.5?
escott: no idea, i didnt take full note of the messages as i just rebooted
note that I did have virtual box running as well, maybe that was a problem
it seems to like 160% of my cpu
escott there is only one user logged in on the ubuntu, and one logged in on the mac?  The issue is that I don't have permission to write on the drive when I move it over to the mac.  I just formatted it on Ubuntu, and OSx disk utility isn't letting me 'repair permissions' (according to one log I was reading a moment ago, OSx only repairs permissions for the OS mounted drive)
Linkandzelda, when a userspace application uses up all the ram and the swap (because it is leaking memory) the kernel notices this and runs something called the OOM killer which tries to identify the leaky application and kill it. this should not trigger a need to reboot unless it picks badly (and kills something you need like compiz)
Linkandzelda, if the kernel were to run out of memory that would be a different and bigger problem (its probably the first which means that compiz is leaking memory)
thomrenault, how is the disk formated?
ntfs
escott ntfs
thomrenault, then thats an OSX issue. NTFS doesn't do POSIX permissions
escott: I see, well I can either wait for it to happen (or not) again, or try and find out what it is further lol
thomrenault, although formatting on ubuntu and making it an NTFS disk is an odd choice
how do i burn an audio cd with ubuntu
escott I'm trying to get the hdd (my media disk) to work with my logitech revue, which wasn't taking exfat
Linkandzelda, if compiz is leaking ram and gets itself killed you can CTRL-ALT-F1 then login, then "export DISPLAY=:0; compiz --replace &"
i am not normally awed by utils but i am with 'redshift' , who would of thought someone came up with it, its great on a lappy
escott: sounds like a plan, and how do I get out of that alt+ctrl+f1 state?
Linkandzelda, ctrl-alt-f7
ok
escott: awesome, then i'll wait for it to happen again and do that
escott: another thing, do you know much about networks?
Linkandzelda, depends on how much much is
escott: this much http://uppix.net/8/f/5/80e7d396f16f297d50a20e0701319.png my network seems to not be able to keep a solid downspeed
escott does ext2 have a file limit size?
Linkandzelda, bufferbloat?
how do i burn an audio cd with ubuntu
how does ubuntu burn audio cds
shouldh i olok it up
almoxarife, i agree redshift is awesome
escott: no idea lol, i just noticed slow torrent/download speeds and checked the usage and spotted it up and down
thomrenault, yes but exactly what it is depends on how exactly the partition is formatted (it can be optimized for larger files or smaller files which will affect maximum file size) in either case it shouldn't matter unless you are dealing with very large files
Linkandzelda, the answer is an overly large TCP buffer somewhere
escott: hmm, and how can I solve such a thing?
escott, I was hitting the upper limit of fat16, with Bluray rips, I'm trying to move three files about 7 gb each onto the drive.
hetRidler, use brasero perhaps
Linkandzelda, could be your computer, your router, your cable modem, your ISPs routers, someone even further upstream of you
thomrenault, 7GB should be fine
Linkandzelda, http://www.bufferbloat.net/
escott: and what if it only happens while im on ubuntu?
Linkandzelda, there are multiple buffers in the ubuntu network stack. you can disable some of those with ifconfig i think. so check the bufferbloat.net for tutorials on how
escott: thanks, i'll look into that then
Linkandzelda, ifconfig wlan0 txqueuelen 0
Linkandzelda, see other stuff in http://www.bufferbloat.net/projects/bloat/wiki/Experiment-Fun_with_wireless
escott: cool
hi, is anyone who can use sox
chroot__: put em on your feet ?
en
sox = sound exchange, a conderter, ActionParsnip
*converter
escott: its already happened, ram is fully cache once more lol. now for the inevitable crash
ActionParsnip: i want to use sox, recording when i say the words
Linkandzelda, what does free -m say?
ActionParsnip: and if i don't say, it is loops
how
Linkandzelda, and how much memory is the most memory intensive application using in "top"
escott: this is the output of free -m http://uppix.net/3/c/b/fafe904e323a9af4b344bcd02a839.png
escott: and this is top http://uppix.net/1/4/4/3cb96cb98753685da30c59f4dc068.png
Linkandzelda, "M" will sort top by memory usage
escott: its still virtual box using the most, followed by dropbox with 0.8
then Xorg, rhythombox, chromium
Linkandzelda, sounds fine. the kernel is just caching files that applications previously requested by no longer need
Linkandzelda, so you play an mp3 and it reads it, and keeps the file in memory in case you play it again
escott: i see, hopefully it wont crash again
hi all ya
Linkandzelda, if an application were leaking memory then it would show up as 90% of ram in top and free would have close to zero on the cached line because the kernel thinks the leaky application needs the memory it requested because the app forgot to tell the kernel it no longer needs that memory
escott: garbage collecting automatic, or attempted automatic. i can see how it would casue trouble if it picked the wrong app
Linkandzelda, eventually the kernel will give away all the memory on the system so some request will have to fail at which point the kernel triggers the OOM killer to decide which application is the most likely culprit
Has anyone got Facebook's video chat to work on Ubuntu?
Linkandzelda, so you could think of the OOM killer as the garbage collector for poorly written applications
are there some chinese?
escott: sweet, then i'll keep that in mind when im coding for linux, if that ever happens lol
Cancy, billions of them :)
Linkandzelda, its rather unpleasant. you can trigger it pretty easily to see how it operates. write a C program that in a continuous look mallocs a small amount of ram
escott: I did that on a windows machine before, and it locked up lol
Hi. I would like an alternative to the terminal, which lets me search the buffer. I'm SSHing to a system and running a continuous task. I would like to be able to search for certain strings and locate them in the scrollback. I know you can pipe terminal output to files but that's way too much effort for the functionality I want :)
Linkandzelda, #include "stdlib.h" int main(){ while(1){ malloc(sizeof(char)*32); }}   The system will go unresponsive for a few seconds then the OOM kicks in and kills your app
rangergord, maybe screen?
escott: hehe, then I'll give it a go when I get an IDE up and running on here
rangergord: use screen or tmux.  Also, a lot of terminals will let you search
rangergord: pipe it to less
does anyone have a foolproof link to getting flash to work on 12.10 with chromium, or firefox for that matter?  I've tried and failed miserably
Linkandzelda, IDE you don't need no stinking ide. put that in a text file and gcc filename.c; ./a.out
confab: what arch are you using?
Hello folks I messed up my HDD partitions and MBRs completely while installing Ubuntu. I am now trying to install Windows on a hard drive without an OS from a USB stick with Ubuntu Live on it. The issue is that when I try to boot into the windows install the current MBR does not recognize the Windows install as a viable kernel. I've been told that I need to reinstall GRUB from the live...
Has anyone got Facebook's video chat to work on Ubuntu?
...Ubuntu. What does that mean?
And can anyone help me do it?
jrib: can you name one of those "a lot" terminals?
rangergord: rxvt-unicode is one
ActionParsnip, i386
I'd rather a GUI menu based solution, if not I'll fall back to screen as suggested (googlign shows it lets you do it)
or 686
thanks
whatever the 32-bit one is
escott: I'm an IDE person, used to using things like Xcode, do you agree that IDE's speed up development? is that just me o-o
Steelcased_Judo, when you install windows it should install the windows bootloader. so if windows i booting then you can install ubuntu
"The easiest way to use Boot-Repair is to burn one of the following disks and boot on it. " , when they say that, do they mean insert the cd and restart the computer and boom from it?
confab: if you remove all flash packages, enable the partner repo and install adobe-flashplugin it should be ok
Linkandzelda, just saying this is a 2-liner. use what you like
escott: fair lol
ActionParsnip, cool, let me try that thanks
escott - I can't install Windows. That is the thing.
Steelcased_Judo, so what happens when you try to boot the windows install cd?
escott: I'll wait for a file process to finish first, just in case
Sean21_, yes
escott - I get a command line screen that says that the SysLinux Insane MBR Partition does not recognize the kernel.
rangergord: gnome-terminal seems to let you search too...
confab: or if all else fails, grab the archive from adobe.com and put libflashplugin.so in /usr/lib/chromium-browser/plugins
confab: or remove all flash packages and install chrome :)
confab: remember to use --purge when you remove
Linkandzelda, its certainly not pleasant there is about 20 seconds of "what just happened" as the system goes unresponsive and everything gets kicked out of swap... and there is the risk that the OOM killer could go stupid and nuke an important process
Steelcased_Judo, is your bios configured to boot the cd first?
Yes.
Sean21_: I'm mostly using a usb-thumb for it to save a disc
anyone with (x)ubuntu 12.10 and having intermittent startup issues where X doesnt load?.. sometimes with a plymouth error
Steelcased_Judo, sounds like your windows install cd is no good
And now Ubuntu Live won't let me connect to the wireless network anymore.
Arghhhhhh.
Steelcased_Judo, the windows install cd if it is booting first should prevent the on hard disk mbr from running
escott: then maybe it's best to save this one for later
escott - Ah, that makes sense.
Has anyone gotten Facebook's video chat to work on Ubuntu?
escott - I did torrent it. It is Windows Starter.
Thank you.
ActionParsnip, puttig the libflashplugin.so into /usr/lib/chromium-browser/plugins didn't work, chrome is installed and it doesnt work for flash
confab: chrome has it's own flash  so doesn't need any flash packages
ActionParsnip, right, it still doesnt display flash for me
just imported the last 3 years worth of photos into Shotwell, very reminiscing to see them all previewed as imported
hello, quick questions/discussions about deb package creation. would someone like to enlightening me a little bit. some good links, maybe get me going in right direction? i have folders with programs from A. tar, or B. rpm source code, already install, no tars or rpms around to reference, they are manufacture/vendor installed, i need to package them up, maybe with dpkg -b, and such, any suggestions would be great. thanks :)
yeats:  thanks
qmanjr5, I havent tried it
got a lot of read to do, thanks, l8
ActionParsnip, i dunno, i tried purging, enabling partner, and installing adobe-flashplayer, it's still borked.  I think i'm going to just give up.  Thanks for trying to help though
escott: ive always wondered this but, whenever the ram is cached performance is really slow. maybe my hdd is dead
anyone home today
Linkandzelda, not sure what that means "when RAM is cached" you mean when the kernel starts using your swap partition? yes hard disks are slower than RAM so using swap is slower. as memory pressure grows the kernel first discards pages that have been written to disk but are kept in RAM (ie you just wrote this file and it has hit the disk but the kernel keeps a copy in RAM as well), then it starts pushing stuff to disk that isn't backed
 by disk (ie process memory) that hasn't been used in a while. When it does that second step things slow down, especially if you try to alt-tab to the process which just got pushed out to swap
cloudrf, me

Hello everyone. What is the difference between a Window theme, Icon theme, and GTK+ theme?
confab: if you can pastebin the output of: lsb_release -a; uname -a; dpkg -l | egrep 'flash|gnash|swf|spark'
The biggest stump to me is the GTK+ theme.
escott: yea, hmm, is there a way to stop it caching it all?
anyone willing to join in on a cross rpm/deb project?
Linkandzelda, its called a "swap storm" because every time you alt-tab the kernel has to play catchup putting the program you were just using into swap and taking the one you want to be using and putting it back into RAM, and by the time that is done it is ready to process the next alt-tab (because you pressed alt-tab 15 times in a row because it wasn't working)
cloudrf: that would get messy
Linkandzelda, you can disable swap in which case you go directly to OOM you do not pass GO and you do not collect $200
escott: haha. indeed
escott: i like $200 :/
me likes money
Linkandzelda, i prefer the swap-storm because it gives me a little bit of time to jump over to an ssh terminal and figure out what application is leaking memory and kill it myself, but if you trust the OOM killer then that may just be prefereable to you
anyone willing to help tho
even if it is messy i wanna win the fight with microsoft
escott: then can I browse this ram or find out whats actually been cached? i remember it cached full almost instantly, i would of expected it to be a gradual thing
Linkandzelda, no because its not object level. its page level
flip
hey guys.  i have a ubuntu system that randomly crashes , and sometimes refuses to reboot when it does.  i check the bios and its like the drive has dissappeared.  after a bunch of resets, complete power downs, it randomly shows back up again.
Linkandzelda, a program can allocate a lot of ram pretty quickly, or it could be miscalculating the unit size and allocating something enormous, or it could be that you dont notice because allocations (and responsiveness) is fast until it is full
ActionParsnip, http://codepad.org/lA3e5VP2
brady, bad drive or bad motherboard
brand new drive, brand new motherboard
brady, well that makes the following more likely "bad drive or bad motherboard"
escott: hmm, could of not noticed it, though i kept an eye on the bar to see it grow, and it wasnt caching anything. 10-20 mins after it was full lol
disconnect the HDD and boot off a USB drive and see if it's stable
if it's unstable, try running memtest
im still wondering what app did that, probably virtual box
i am on the live cd right now
anybody using rpm on an ubuntu system?
Linkandzelda, so vbox does add another layer of complexity because an app inside vbox could be eating a lot of ram
i ran fsck and it says the drive is clean, it did the check very quickly
how can i do a memory test
i understand that
reboot from the live disk and select memtest86+
brady: can also be a defective/loose cable, look up syslog on the internal system, enable ahci (I assume sata drive)
brady, means it just replayed the journal. check the SMART status in the disk utility. memtest86 is a boot option
escott: if its causing the problem then I can close it and it should return to normal
Ubuntu 12.04 comes with memtest86
hi
im trying to watch a football game from nbc.com
using moonlight
or go to memtest site directly and download the iso and burn it to a cd
Linkandzelda, you can also enable process limits and limit a process to a few gigs. you will cause your web browser to crash ever once in a while but most processes shouldnt notice
http://snfallaccess.nbcsports.com/*
http://snfallaccess.nbcsports.com/     **
Linkandzelda, but the best thing to do is let it OOM, and then look at dmesg to figure out who got killed
404
sid|1, probably not going to work
any way to make it work?
escott: interestingly enough closing vbox just lowered actual green used ram to almost nothing
how do it get to the disk utility?  i dont see it in the hud
sid|1: not a chance :)
sid|1, not really. moonlight supports all the encryption and codecs but MSFT doesn't license them to moonlight
awh
which is normal, but, its now a fully cached ram even after vbox is closed so maybe its something else lol
brady, type disk utility
Linkandzelda, again yellow doesn't matter. yellow might as well be green
i typed disk utility in the hud, nothing
Linkandzelda, it probably had to pull some pages off the swap disk for VBox to shut itself down and then once everything was written to disk just keeps copies around in case you need to restart VBox
escott, what are you in relation to the ubuntu project?
cloudrf, a user
blah. forgot to install moonlight
wanna join out project?
our
cloudrf, did you have actual ubuntu support question?
no i didnt
cloudrf, wrong place then
Quick questions guys, I want to download adobe flash, it says which version, YUM,.tar.gz,.rpm or APT for ubuntu 10.04
sorry bout that
apt
Sean21_: sudo apt-get install flashplugin-installer
or, if you preffer the partner repo, sudo apt-get install flashplugin-adobe
escott: i'll just let it do its thing then lol
I'll try asking again: What exactly is GTK+?
you could also open a console and type sudo apt-get install adobe-flashplugin
by disk utility do you mean gparted?  when i type disk utility.. i dont find anything matching that description
brady, no its gnome-disks
sorry guys but ur off topic channel is deader than a doornail
brady, its just called "disks" in 12.10, but gnome-disks is the binary
brady, if you cant find that install smartmontools and use the command line smartctl

That didnt work xangua
I have a big issue with my ubuntu server, I am getting these error messages after I restarted it

before I paste a wall of text, here a link from a guy which had the similar problem
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1610269
escott: now that im here in this situation, with only a couple of pixels to see this irc chat, what should i do to find out what hapepned?
I need something that I can use while I am not online as well. Google docs doesn't cut it.
any ideas what I could do?
Linkandzelda, if cairo-dock crashed i would ctrl-alt-f1 and restart it
Console is what? xangua
escott: gnome-panel also went, and so did compiz, and i dont know the commands to start them >_>
I made an ext4 partition on my hardrive to back up my home folder before i install QQ, is there a reason i'm unable to copy files to it through the file explorer? the paste option is disabled...

Linkandzelda, is the window manager running?
sid|1, I'm watching the game on that link right now. just installed moonlight and it worked without issue
hrm
what browser?
escott: i opened it, but it failed to open with an error
escott: the window manager is running, without window borders lol
firefox
Linkandzelda, so compiz crashed
im on chrome that might be the prob
oops it crashed
Target filesystem doesn't have requested /sbin/init.
No init found. Try passing init=bootarg
Linkandzelda, you need to export DISPLAY=:0; compiz --replace
that's what I get
n/m doesnt seem to work
rodayo, you need to sudo chown to give yourself ownership of the mountpoint

not fully silverlight 4 compatable it seems
escott: did that and I got the top gnome panel back, but no window decorations yet
escott: aka no window borders
escott: and compiz just crashed again... >_>
make sure you have all software sources enabled and its adobe-flashplugin
Linkandzelda, interesting. you could try metacity --replace and use the 2D window manager
Anyone have problems installing chrome?
escott: that gave me window borders again!
escott: I have tried those programs that you sent me the link for, and none of them were helpful. Are there any more?
weird. hmm guess its different for Ubuntu Studio 12.10
Linkandzelda, what kind of graphics card do you have
I really need help : (
brandinhess, i didnt even read that page :)
Ah.
escott: right now I'm using a ati radeon 6xxx series card, the one with 256mb ram in a mac mini 2011. im not using the preprietory driver
XRS1: you're right, adobe-flashplugin in partners..  Sean21_
XRS1:  doesnt work for me=/
Anyone have trouble installing chrome?
anyone here very familiar with cairo-dock?
Can anyone else think of any speech recognition software similar to that in Windows?
tada, boot the install cd and choose "try ubuntu"
yeah moonlight wont work it doesnt have full silverlight 4 support
XRS1: will be because of the partner repo, so ubott.. won't mention it
hwod u watch the video?
how'd*
escott, works! thank you =)
escott: I used knoppix
is this ok too?
Sean21_: the browser ?
Yes
it played for a bit then i alt-tabbed back and it crashed. tried reloading and it gave me an error telling me moonlight isnt compatable
Sean21_: sudo apt-get install chromium-browser
tada, sure
escott: I am in knoppix and I tried
fsck /dev/sda1
How do you know/get these commands?
tada, is that the / partition?
escott: now the cahed ram has halved itsel, leaving a ton free
I think so
I'm not quite sure
I'm using a software based raid system, which does confuse me a bit
Linkandzelda, then one of those applications was probably leaking some ram. the kernel might have eventually said "no you have had enough" at which point most applications tend to throw a hissy fit and crash
but I think it's sda1
when i hold down shift on start up.. i can't seem to get to grub to do the memory test
tada, what do you mean software raid. is this in the bios?
no, it's an pci card
Sean21_: apt-get install is common for installing, also can use a gui like softwarecenter or synaptics, else one only needs the package name , you are running quantal ?
2 harddisks are connect on a pci card
tada, and how much did this pci card cost?
not much, it was a cheap one
escott: getting closer to finding out which one it is, either compiz, cairo, or.. gnome-panel
Sean21_: and please put nick when replying
tada, then you are better off disabling the raid
I can't follow, what does this have something to do with my current problem?
Whats the command to nick
/nick
 /nick
escott: I'll log out now and log in again to fix things, then will wait again and see what happens
I mean when you want to talk to someone
tada, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FakeRaidHowto http://www.pagunblog.com/2007/04/03/fakeraid-sucks/
tada, almost certainly IS your problem
Sean21_  are you running quantal ?
tada, fakeraid is such a waste of time money and common sense its just not worth trying to figure out if it really is the problem or how to fix it. just disable it, use mdadm and go on with life
escott: +1
:)
my mainboard does not provide sata connections
Im new this, all I know is I am running unbuntu 12.10
escott: I have no other choice than using this fakeraid now
Sean21_: run:  lsb_release -a
Sean21_: fine, second, link coming
tada, then its going to be a long long night
fuck
tada, if you disable the raid functionality on the PCI card thats your best bet
tada: softraid works on other than sata, too
tada: mind language ;)
hey all
tada, in order to get a fake raid system you have to (a) get a bootable grub.... which might require your buying another disk just to boot (b) getting the proper kernel module into the initrd (c) properly configuring dmraid
http://tinyurl.com/cdwf45s < is for xubuntu, but will provide all your needs for a bsic setup , Sean21_
basic*
tada, it sounds like you got past (a) so you might be over the worst. it might just be that you need to do (b) and (C)
Hi, I am trying to set up monad. It works, but the scripts in ~/.config/autostart aren't being run, and also .xinitrc / .xsession are not being run. Where am I supposed to put code that should run on log-in?
sorry, xmonad.
oh god
tada, so you run lspci and try to figure out the chipset of the raid controller, then identify what kernel module you need, then add that to /etc/modules, and finally update-initramfs. but if you can disable that fakeraid and use mdadm that would be so much better. you won't lose all your data the day your $5 RAID controller goes kaput
triplyfrypie: if you copy one of the .desktop files in ~/.config/autostart then edit the lines to run the command you want it will run when you log in
anyone here?
escott: many fakeraids have an own setting to relase the drives
is this really the only solution to my problem right now? To change my raid configurations?
because the point of RAID was to have redundancy completely subverted by the 5cent capacitors on your raid controller
StormTwo: pong, a 1586
is 512mb of ram is enough to run 12.10 ubuntu?
tada, its the better functioning solution, the more robust solution, the better supported solution, but not the only solution
StormTwo: will work, but bettewr use a lighter derivate like lubuntu, xubuntu
StormTwo: it's enought for xubuntu or lubuntu
I just want that my system is running again
ActionParsnip: I tried that, I have one that does "echo foo > ~/bar" and it doesn't produce a file ~/bar
triplyfrypie, ~ means $HOME means /home/username/
tada, "again"?
escott: yes I know that
escott: thanks for your help today, it was very useful, now im gonna head off (and if my hunch is right nothing will have crashed when i woke up!)
StormTwo: also depends on how you install / which daemons are running, what about graphics ? the only thing that can be is a rather slow response, if too overloaded
escott: yes, it worked for months perfectly until today
(lots of swap usage, then) , StormTwo
maybe almost a year
tada, ok well that changes things. i was under the impression this was a fresh install. have you recently updated the system? can you boot the old kernel?
no I didnt updated it
anyway, the point is I'm pretty sure those files aren't being executed
it just happened
triplyfrypie: permission problem... either do as root or chown the dir to desied needs
triplyfrypie: you won't use echo (well you can to make the duplicated file if you want), then open it in a text editor to run what you want
tada, well that sounds like a hardware failure of some variety. so you are back to booting kubuntu and looking at SMART status
I love you too
DasEi: I had the same issue, that's why I restarted it, then I got this problem
escott: what's a smart status?
tada:second , haven't been following you
DasEi: what I really want to run are mod map things to get rid of caps lock
tada, Self-Monitoring, Analysis and Reporting Technology --- tells you when hard disks are failing mechanically
the weird thing is
tada: could you repeat since when it won't start any more ?
escott: I can mount my harddisk and still access my files
tada, so check the smart status (not sure what the knoppix tool will be) there will be SMART status for both disks /dev/sda and /dev/sdb. then you run fsck on /dev/dmraid something.
DasEi: since a few ours ago
escott, DasEi what I really really want is for .xinitrc to run
tada: did you do anything specail ?
no
tada, so you have to modprobe some dmraid module to get the raid array to show up as a raid array, so that you can fsck it properly. what you are seeing is half of your RAID mirror in each disk
wondering why fstab is missing from my /etc in Jaunty?
wyclif, thats not good
wyclif: strange, yes..
escott: yes, I'm beginning to realise that this is not good. But I can't install it: "Couldn't find package fstab"
wyclif: cat /etc/fstab    reveals nothing ?
Kiss my ass guys -_-p
wyclif, its not in any package. its part of the base system
it's a file.. (fstab)
sorry ive been hack with my friends here
c u later
StormTwo: fine
escott: yes, it lists /media/cdrom0
Can someone help me? I have to somehow install Ubuntu onto a laptop HDD from a desktop, and then transplant it back in the laptop in some sort of working order.
escott: you do the fstab ?
Because the BIOS is locked.
Sonic132, open up the case and hit the CMOS jumper
DasEi, ?
escott: I've heard that that doesn't work on this particular Thinkpad.
Sonic132, heard or tried?
Sonic132: sure ... do a usb-bootmedium, for safety disconnect desktop's hdd, need an adaptor for 2,5 hdd/lappi, then boot from usb-thumb and install to hdd
escott: here's the output from my cat /etc/fstab http://paste.ubuntu.com/1333896/
wyclif, that looks fine. except for the /dev/fd0.... do you really have a floppy disk or is your kernel just confused?
DasEi: I can't change the boot order since the BIOS is locked. Wouldn't that require that?
escott: hahaha yes, it's really a floppy that never gets used :)
Sonic132, i would try the CMOS jumper. anything that doesn't respond to the CMOS jumper is probably configured to use something like a trusted-boot in which case you plane isn't going to work anyways
escott: now, what I totally don't get is why when I use parted -l it just give me a 15-device entry of the one HDD in the system
Sonic132: no, as it'll probably be the only bootable medium then, though I don't know what your bios is set to, mostly one can hard-reset bios by opening the case
wyclif, thats your SATA controller being buggy
The bios is set to the HDD being the only boot device.
Sonic132: so can go above described way
Sonic132, before you pull the disk and make the system non-bootable plug in a disk borrowed from another ubuntu laptop and see if you can boot that disk
Sonic132, but you pull the disk and install to it and then put it back you could end up having a brick
escott: yet, when I try to mount /dev/scd0 I'm told "mount: special device /dev/scd0 does not exist" ???
wyclif, usually sdc0 that might just be a typo in your fstab
tada1, were you able to find the SMART data?
Sonic132: to lower the risk, just do a basic/minimal install with all generic drivers (alternate or netinstall, expert-mode)
Sonic132: and brick .. chances are small it won't work, but you won't break anything
escott: hmmm. "mount: can't find /dev/sdc0 in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab"
I've tried transplanting it at least twice myself and my brother has tried it once. All we get is 'Operating System not found'
escott: no not really, I dont even know where to start... right now I'm downloading ubuntu cd version again and try the same commands there
wyclif, what you pasted said scd0 so if you typoed there you need to fix it in /etc/fstab
tada1, ok... it being knoppix im not sure what to tell you. but there should be a smart status application... not sure what it would be
Sonic132: sound like grub wasn't installed properly, how did you try ?
sounds*
escott: yes, according to fstab it is scd0
Sonic132, make sure when you install to /dev/sdb that you put the bootloader on /dev/sdb it might try to put it on sda. but if this thing has TXT enabled...
Sonic132, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trusted_Execution_Technology
DasEi: Oh wow. I think I just figured out why that didn't work. I installed to an sda partition and that HDD also has windows on it. Would grub refer to Windows and fail because of that?
Sonic132, no
Sonic132: no
escott: any tips on editing my fstab?
wyclif, change the /dev/scd0 to /dev/sdc0 .... not sure what tips you need?
wyclif, gksudo gedit /etc/fstab ????
wyclif: sudo apt-get install hwinfo pastebinit && sudo hwinfo | pastebinit     ,give resulting url here
escott: I'm sorry. But this article is written to grad students. What is it your trying to show me?
Is there a "recommended" way of installing Oracle Java in Ubuntu? I know there are several ppas for it, is there a "best" one?
There isn't a laptop version of ubuntu floating around somewhere is there?
Sonic132, no
Sonic132: there was once but they fusioned it with the desktop version
tada1: Yeah. I saw a netbook version a few years back.
:DasEi:
Sonic132: os not found is mostly grub not found
escott: I'm willing to try it but why would fstab corrup the name of the device? I certainly didn't edit this file
escott: *corrupt
DasEi I was looking at the installation tutorial he has on it, so would it basically just overwrite ubuntu 12.10?
Sonic132: goole the manual for that exact model and find outm wheter to reset the bios manually/mechanically (removing battery..) is possible
Sean21_: nope, that just gives the needed packagenames you asked for
Sean21_: you install additional progs/features
wyclif, given that your sata controller is crazy and telling the kernel you have thousands of disks.... i have no idea what might be appearing in the fstab. furthermore it could be something where /dev/sda is good for about 5 seconds until the controller decides it needs to be addressed as /dev/sdb and then changes again. i dont know
DasEi: All the pages I could dig up said no. But I'll try the manual as well.
Sonic132, if this is a corporate laptop you need ot worry about intel TXT
Sonic132: I gfu, model/brand ?
escott: I don't believe it is. It's an IBM Thinkpad R52. I don't remember the machine type. It's my brothers laptop.
Sonic132: so removing batt shall be possible then :)
escott: here's my fstab: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1333896/
wyclif: sudo apt-get install hwinfo pastebinit && sudo hwinfo | pastebinit     ,give resulting url here
DasEi: It's worth a try. What's the worst that could happen *nervous chuckle*?
DasEi: that command failed.
wyclif, this line "/dev/scd0       /media/cdrom0   udf,iso9660 user,noauto,exec,utf8 0       0" doesn't make sense. it woudl normally be /dev/sdc so check if that file exists in /dev
escott: thanks a lot for your help by the way, I really appreciate it : ) I think the best would be to safe my files and reinstall ubuntu, and just pretend there is no hardware failure...
pretend/ignore
Sonic132: have a black tea, let it sit for longer than 6 minutes before drinking ;), then use the screwdriver
escott: will do
tada1, well thats not going to fix the hardware failure. probably only going to aggravate it
escott, DasEi, ActionParsnip, anyone else who's been helping me: I'm a bit confused by how the login process works in Ubuntu. At the login screen, I have options for "XMonad" and "Ubuntu (Default)" (and a few others). Where are these specified? If I have "XMonad" selected, I am pretty sure it's not executing .xsession or anything in ~/.config/autostart/*.desktop. This is really problematic for me because I need to start xscreensave
and a few other things like dropbox and flux. Help?
DasEi: Thanks. You and escott both.
wyclif: so sud hwinfo and find what your devices are called
escott: yep, /dev/sdc exists.
yes, probably, on the other hand, we are not sure to 100% if this really is a hardware failure
A process daemonized on me while I was in a chroot. If I exit the chroot, it'll die properly, right? If not, how do I find the PID to murder it?
triplyfrypie, join the club :). the Xmonad is coming from /etc/x11 but some of the other stuff like .xsession is ignored by some things and not others. you are probably better off modifying gnome-session-properties if you use gnome/ubunit
triplyfrypie, gnome/unity
triplyfrypie: you'll use a loginmanager, like gdm or other, that let's you make those choices at login-time
Rallias, no it will keep running. you can kill it in or out of the chroot by its PID
escott: should I just switch to awesome/i3/some other tiling wm?
How do I find it's PID?
Rallias, ps aux or pstree
Rallias, and look for something whose parent is init
DasEi: I believe it uses gdm but I'm not sure. The login manager thing looks the same as the stock ubuntu 12.10 one
Rallias: top or htop, or ps
triplyfrypie, then thats lightdm
ah ok
Rallias, chroot only roots the filesystem. the kernel and all the processes are visible inside or outside the chroot
escott: it worked again
after a few times of restarts
thanks god, I dont have the money for new hardware haha!
DasEi: I see everything except my CDROM drive
tada1, so you are booted into your ubuntu system now?
yes : )
tada1, you can't fsck in that, but you can check the smart status with gnome-disks
often a certain website does not open.It just takes infinite time.But a few still open with usual speed.What should I do?
wyclif: so cd in the /dev directory and take a look what's listed there
tada1, you might also want to write down the output of "lsmod | grep dm"
escott: it's the server edition of ubuntu, I fear I dont have any access to gnome related stuff
escott: it looks like /usr/share/xsessions/xmonad.desktop is being executed. The "Exec" line in that is "xmonad". Would it be safe to change it to "~/.xsession && xmonad"?
tada1, then use smartctl
I am unable to install Mozilla Add-ons
DasEi: I did, I have /dev/sdc
tada1: nope, all same repos
triplyfrypie, no idea sorry
triplyfrypie, never understood xsessions
researcher123, the solution for me was to disable IPv6
wyclif: that's a harddrive
OerHeks: Let me try too
DasEi: there is no /dev/scd file
wyclif, scd0?
wyclif: sr0 ?
wyclif: cdrom ?
wyclif, a lot of what im telling you is based on what "looks weird" but we know your hardware is broken so its not surprising that things "look weird"
escott: DasEi: no scd0 or sr0
escott: I installed smartctl, and tried sudo smartctl /dev/sda
escott: DasEi: no cdrom in /dev either
it made something but I dont know what, I think it saved a log somewhere
tada1, smartctl -a /dev/sda
tada1, it should dump out some text which you probably want to paste to us at paste.ubuntu.com. then you have to do the same for sdb
wyclif: hwinfo | grep cd*
wyclif: hwinfo | grep dvd*
escott: http://pastebin.com/rrrA6PNg
OerHeks: My router does not show IPv6
it says it passed, man, this is banana
DasEi: escott: here's my hwinfo | grep cd* output http://paste.ubuntu.com/1333936/
tada1, the UDMA CRC error count is a bit high but it doesn't look like it is mechanically failing. perhaps electrically but not mechanically
oh, I didnt notice that
tada1, your load cycle count is really high so its clearly an older disk
what is udma crc?
tada1, data transfer to/from the motherboard failing a checksum. ie some kind of electrical error between the controller and the system
tada1, the dm_raid45 is related to your fakeraid, but it doesn't identify what the actual controller module is
honestly I'm impressed of your knowledge
hello
tada1: I second that
and man, errors in checksum, this sounds really bad. It sounds like it is risky to safe any files on those harddisks
tada1, the UDMA thing could be as simple as a bad cable or as bad as a failing chipset on the motherboard, 400 isn't that high given that there are millions of UDMA transfers (probably billions with a disk this old) but monitor that and see if it is increasing, and check that your cables are well inserted next time you powerdown
sometimes that can be caused by software problem / virus. sometimes it can happen when loading data from a bad optical disk or a failing optical disk drive
tada1, well the checksum means it noticed the error.
tada1, so something was transfered and it noticed that the transfer was corrupted and the motherboard told the disk to resend which the disk logged
hey, anyone had the issue with their keyboad dropping keys and getting stuck on repeat sometimes?
tada1, anyways lets look at sdb
yeah with a dirty keyboard
samueljohn: I have that issue on my raspberry pi
tada1, and send the rest of your lsmod so i can figure out what the controller is
XRS1: any fix for it?
the rest of my lsmod? That's all buddy
if its just dirty, clean it
XRS1: I've had it for a few years and haven't been able to find a fix
tada1, i mean take off the | grep bit just run "lsmod"
the keys should be removable
what do you mean 'removable'?
samueljohn: just pry the keys off of the keyboard
for some reason when i hold down shift on startup, i can't get it to go to grub, and therefore cannot accomplish a memory test, any ideas?
try cleaning the plug on the cord and the plug on the computer too. or just get a cheap keyboard.  also, you might want to check the keyboard settings in BIOS and in settings manager
brady, usb keyboard?
escott: http://pastebin.com/yf8veLwg
yes, usb
deper29: why would I want to pry the keys off of the keyboard?
to clean under them samueljohn
it's not a hardware issue.
samueljohn: ...to clean it
if its dirty, you cant really clean it if the keys are in the way
yes, usb, escott
brady, have a ps/2 handy?
Hey guys, what is the easiest way to relay email to gmail? ssmtp?
samueljohn: just use youtube, and see how people are cleaning their keyboards ;) it would be much easier to learn ;)
escott: no.
just the one.
wyclif: that rather looks like the whole hwinfo out; let me see ...
brady, you probably need a ps/2 can you get into the bios with your usb keyboard?
burtonium: you think it's because my keys are dirty? It's no way possible a software issue?
yes
The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened
I've seen differing ways to turn CAPS LOCK into Escape. What's the best way using xmodmap?
some one might have bubba'd your keystroke settings in BIOS or settings manager, otherwise its a hardware issue
tada1, interesting note on sata_sil https://ata.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Sata_sil "Some reports of data corruption when paired with NVIDIA chipsets." and i note you have forcedeth loaded
DasEi: sorry; surprised it's that verbose :(
E: Encountered a section with no Package: header
when i run "sudo apt-cache search win",it occurs
yeah if the system is overloaded it can cause keystroke delays then you end up messing up what your typing
brady, you might double check if you bios has any usb input options. sometimes bioses need to load the usb hid input stuff prior to handing over to grub
oh goodie, datacorruption
burtonium: Gotcha. I didn't even consider it to be a hardware issue. That's why I wasn't understanding.
i fixed that issue today let me look it up
tada1, but ill guess sata_sil is your sata controller module. in any case what about smartctl -a /dev/sdb
guang, try this: sudo rm /var/lib/apt/lists/* -vf
then sudo apt-get update
good question
XRS1:let me try it
tada1, is it just the two disks? a and b?
yes
intersting, udma, crc at zero
tada1, thats good suggests a bad cable
tada1, anything else standing out?
tada1, is the load cycle count also around 800j
800k
wyclif: nonetheless I can neither find a cdrom, dvd or optical in there, so it seems your cdrom isn't dtected at all, you might try gnome-devicemanager and look again, if it shows up there, else you have a hardware/-cable/-driver problem, so kernel won't see drive
escott: http://pastebin.com/aJfG9gmU
DasEi, his sata controller is borked. more than likely the kernel gave up before enumerating the cd drive
<XRS1>:There are just subdirectory   "archives"  in the dir "apt",
if it is IDE, make sure you have the drives jumpered where they should be. I've seen lots of weird stuff happen when using Cable Select
tada1, you have a reallocated sector
did you run the command?
i just fixed that same problem today with that command
tada1, so thats an indicator of a mechanical failure at some point. it could be recent it could be old
escott: ic...
shitt
wyclif: gnome-device-manger is the right one;  pastebinit /var/log/syslog
hi =)
what does that mean? Reallocated means a sector which were apprently moved but not corrputed I guess
how could this happen
reallocated means it got marked as a bad sector
tada1, but it sounds like you were maybe configured as mirrored. so i would (a) check if the cable on disk a is well inserted/replace it (b) monitor the UDMA and reallocated sectors closely to see if they go up. check into lspci and see if you are using that combination of sata_sil and nforce that was mentioned as a possible problem
tada1: there are spare sectors on a hd, that can replace ones which got borked by time
tada1, means it tried to write to a location on the disk... failed in some way (that part was scratched basically) and decided to put the data somewhere else
:)
alright, thanks for the explanation dudes
wyclif: url from pastebinit ?
tada1, your boot failures are most likely related to the loose cable though. i dont see any evidence of mechanical failure there
I accosiated it with something else apparently, so the next step is to said in short terms: Check cable, monitor sometimes
escott: tada1: haven't followed your proceeding with smartmontools, but that would show up there (bad sectors)
DasEi: it returns "IndexError: list index out of range"
tada1, you do have to be careful with anything like a reallocated sector
it could be that a whole bunch of sectors on the disk are bad but if you dont attempt to write to them or read from them you might never find out. they just sit there like time bombs until the day you try to get your data and *pooof*
shit shit shit
tada1, so depending on your level of paranoia you may want to make another backup to an external media of some kind
wyclif: so too big, try : head /var/log/syslog | pastebinit
tada1, but 1 reallocated sector is the least number you can have that is bad :)
ok, I apparently have to read about reallocated sectors and the possibilites to solve
wyclif: tail /var/log/syslog | pastebinit
tada1, there is no way to solve it. its just evidence of a failure at some point... it will only go up over time
heh, yeah... and I use a 3rd disk to backup every day, month and year
tada1: use the long smart test, reallocation is done by the hd itself (if so) and shouldn't affect alldays use at all, you won't even see without smart enabled
tada1, it sounds like you are following a good backup procedure don't worry too much. just figure out if there is a loose cable
DasEi: here it is: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1333966/
heh ok, and again thanks escott, I'm happy for learning new in handy comming stuff
by the way, I wanna show you very quick how this homeserver looks like
wyclif: some wierd messages, what I see is you use a dedicated scsi-card(wide/40) , is the cd also attached to it ?
wyclif, that was entertaining to read
hi
DasEi: yes, indeed. It's an Adaptec 29160, to be specific, and the CDROM is a Plextor Ultraplex Wide
hehe, escott ;)
just a test
siton: test was successful
escott: I know, it made me sick just looking at it. I can't decipher all of it but I know it's not good
thx
wyclif: so you have to go in the card's bios and / or check that it's found there, first, jumper settings at cd can be a cause, also cable setting and you got to 'inform the bios of the adaptec of the cdrom
DasEi: AFAICT, the CDROM is device #3 on the SCSI bus
wyclif: so it shows up there ?
DasEi: you mean in the SCSI bios?
yess
wyclif, doesn't look the hardware is mishandling things persay, but the driver is sure confused
escott: that makes sense, there doesn't seem to be anything wrong with the hardware, and although this is an older box all the hardware is premium
wyclif, does the card bios offer any kind of sleep state energy efficiency options? perhaps disabling those might help
DasEi: yes, when I check the SCSI bios and use the utility it shows all the devices terminated on the bus (the HDD and the CDROM, that's it)
wyclif, its always triggered at " scsi2: Unexpected busfree while idle" so that suggest the card is just saying "you haven't asked me to write anything so im going to sleep" but the kernel is not expecting that and has to tap it on the shoulder to get it back
escott: I can't tell you right now. I seem to recall that it does. There are thorough options in the SCSI bios as this is an Adaptec card...pretty well supported
wyclif, as long as your narcoleptic controller only does that when there is no work to do you won't see corruption
wyclif: so that was the first thing to check ; I'm overasked whether current kernel supports that  card already, when it came out it was aic7xxx module, that I really can't figure out so easily, maybe you have to look up asu' support concerning linux
wyclif, the enumeration of 15 devices when you only have two is more annoying
escott: obviously that is very wrong but I've no idea how to fix it
I was attempting to setup and install bluetooth and I know have about 20 "packages not fully set up or removed"  i get a lsit of dependency problems and I am not sure what to do or where to even start
escott: 15 devices is, of course, the maximum you can put on the bus so it's showing the whole chain even though there are only two devices on it
sudo apt-get build-dep && sudo dpkg --configure -a
wyclif: you usually can set it in cards' bios-utility, but I never owned that particular modem, so will draw back, maybe ##linux is another good place to ask about that card
DasEi: I tried earlier editing the SCSI bios to make the CDROM boot first, but setting it to boot device #3 first didn't work
wyclif, its not even enumerated. its the HDD 15 times
DasEi: the default is 0
escott: yep, it makes no sense to me
wyclif: as said, if you aren't lucky with finding someone knowing that card, first hit would be adaptec support, and then general linux/server-rooms and :
.. there are few ones to look up
DasEi: what is !hcl?
wyclif, the driver is probably just wrong for that chip. so it thinks it is asking to enumerate the devices saying what is in channel 0 sees the seagate, updates the wrong register and asks about 1 but the driver answers with what is in 0 again ...
wyclif: hardware compatibly list
wyclif: hw compatibilty list
DasEi: ah thanks
or burtonium :), I'm getting tired now, sry
sry for interfering
nah :)
DasEi: do you think it could be a matter of updating the drivers?
wyclif: well , on one hand it seems it handles the cd fine, on the other it doesn't seem to find the cd on the same card, so that's my next GUESS, as said, I never owned that model, so can't tell
handle the hd fine*
who have competence with btr5
Help! I screwed up an init file and now can't log in. Is there a way to get to a shell from in lightdm?
kk, I gtg, tired , later..
DasEi: Fortunately the Adaptec 29160 SCSI Card manual is available in PDF on the internet :)
DasEi: have it open now....
...
when i copy data to my usb flash disk, the transfer is instant but long after the dialog has completed the drive still shows the i/o light blinking. what's the deal with that? how can i get my copy dialigs to be more true to the actual copy process?
quint: what app are you using to copy?
thunar
there are many old files in /boot/grub: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1334007/  can i delete the files from february, which appear to be for grub 1?
quint, thats not something you want to happen in general. there might be a way to tell the kernel to buffer less for a particular block device but its that buffering that makes things seem snappy
i just hate to have to watch the light closely long after it says it's finished. it's a bit of a bother. it only seems to happen with thunar
quint: have you tried other file browsers, like pcmanfm ?
i used to use that one
when i ran "lubuntu"
on xubuntu now
can i fully replace thunar with pcmanfm?
quint, you should always eject the device and wait for that to indicate success before removing anyways
quint: sure
ActionParsnip, is that going to make any kind of difference?
escott: its worth exploring
is there an easy way to determine what packages depend on another? (say, a command or web interface)
i always wait to eject, i've tried ejecting after it reports finished copy and i get an io error and the file doesn't match the original
hdm: you can use apt-rdepends
aha, thanks!
ActionParsnip, my guess is he would have the same experience with a simple command line "cp" and that the problem is the syscall returns success because the write is queued
with cp it seems to work dandy
exactly as it should
escott: try both. It's free :)
anyone know the difference between glade and glade-gtk2 in the ubuntu software center?
Hey guys, can anyone help me with this problem? http://serverfault.com/questions/445027/raid-card-event-notifications-email-to-gmail
quint, i guess cp is doing syncronus io then
Hello everyone. For ubuntu 12.04 what is "mail:x:8:8:mail:/var/mail:/bin/sh"? What does that mean? That there is a mail service on here?
in /etc/passws
Ozera: its just a placeholder account
you have system mail even if you dont run a real mailserver
hdm: For...mail??
schedule jobs will mail reports to 'root' when they fail, etc
ah
Ozera: it's for the UNIX sendmail
what is "uucp:x:10:10:uucp:/var/spool/uucp:/bin/sh "
idk what uucp is
having issues with 12.10 & samba: http://pastie.org/5187437
any help appreciated
Ozera: thats really just a placeholder, msot folks dont use it, but its traditional :)
hdm: isn't that...a security problem then?
Ozera: no, those stub accounts dont matter so long as there isnt a password (or empty) present in shadow
If I don't use it shouldn't I get rid of it
deleting them may break system functionality
why?
uucp might be repurposed by some other scheduled task
Sorry I am just curious :P
kk well i'll be back with more questions!
coolstar: glade is gtk3 glade-gtk2 is gtk2
trism: thanks :)
ttrying to mount my 2TB NTFS drive on an ubuntu live-usb but it acts like it is GPT and says the partition is not NTFS....
it detects my 120gb SSD's as ntfs though....
Erin, at 2TB it very well may be (and probably is) GPT but that doesn't have anything to do with NTFS so how does it act like it is GPT
under system in fdisk it says GPT instead of NTFS like the other drive
is there anyway to get xrandr to make the right monitor as the first desktop and the left monitor as the second? I'm using arandr and there doesn't seem to be an option for that.
Erin: GPT is a partition table. NTFS is a filesystem
isnt gpt linux based though?
Erin: you can have an NTFS formatted partition with a GPT table
having issues with 12.10 & samba: http://pastie.org/5187437
this is on my strictly windows machine
Erin: from wikipedia: As of 2010, most current operating systems support GPT, although some (including Mac OS X and Windows) only support booting to GPT partitions on systems with EFI firmware.
efi firmware, as in my mobo is UEFI ?
Erin, UEFI requires GPT but GPT has nothing to do with EFI
basically I booted an ubuntu live-usb with hopes of backing up my 120gb SSD's with DD onto the 2TB drive
when I try to mount the 2tb drive it says it isnt ntfs
Erin, why dont you run "sudo parted -l" and send us that
* coolstar prefers pastie.org :P
any ideas on how to switch the primary moniter in xrandr?
Is there a way for me to disable my speakers entirely? I'm using 11.10.
pastebin.com/Bkx0ETMM
Gracias, estoy usando por primera vez este soft de Xchat
wtf, Is there no /etc/inted.conf file on ubuntu 12.04 ?
Erin you want /dev/sdc2 you were probably trying to access sdc1 which is an EFI system partition
I can't find it
Erin, except that MSFT didnt set it up like that for some weird reason... but clearly that is what it is meant for
MK``: you should be able to do so in Mixer
DOH
ty escott its mounted now, I just didn't figure it out cause /dev/sdc2 doesnt even show up in sudo fdisk -l
...
rinzler: how do I access that?
Erin, stop using fdisk. forget it ever existed
escott, haha but I had just learned how to use it to partition discs from the command line earlier this year :-)
Erin, fdisk cannot see gpt so it saw the GPT protective partition which is written to the msdos partition table to make sure stupid tools like fdisk don't make people think the disk is empty
do you guys think it's worth supporting ubuntu 10.10 and below?
escott: so, what the best tool to access gpt partition
?
cuz 11.04 and higher are gtk3, but 10.10 are gtk2
escott, ahh well thanks a ton I clearly see the partition in parted, ill have to learn how to use that now :-D
mount
Erin, blackshirt, sudo parted -l to list partitions and for most functions. gdisk if you have issues where a tool messed things up by say installing an msdos partition on a disk that had GPT but failing to remove the GPT structures when it did so
oops wrong keyboard ;-P
escott: Do you know if there is /etc/inted.conf on ubuntu 12.04 ?
escott, parted look more advanced compared to fdisk, was that right ?
blackshirt, yea thats what he just explained :-)
blackshirt, parted uses libparted which is the same as gparted so yes
escott: what about cfdisk, is this tool uses libparted too ?
MK``: should be accessible through the sound settings button under the volume drop down
blackshirt, never used cfdisk myself. only fdisk, gdisk and parted. i like gdisk best but its also the most advanced.... you really need to read the book to understand everything it presents to you. so i only break it out when windows screws things up
escott: thanks you ..
escott: i have familiar with parted
Does anyone know the answer to my question :( ?
blackshirt, if you really want to understand the gpt transition though go read rodsbooks.com
Ozera, locate inetd.conf returns nothing on my 12.10
escott: wtfff
escott: thanks anyway
escott: What file are TCP and UDP connecetions established from?
Ozera, file? the question doesnt make sense?
escott: "The first thing to take a look at is the /etc/inetd.conf file. Most TCP and UDP services are initialized from this file." is why I ask
Ozera, if you use inetd
Ozera: i guess you used inetd heavily in the past? unless you use the inetd service to launch those services it wont be running them on ubuntu
SolarisBoy: no, but I am trying to learn more about security. I guess I am using a tutorial not meant for ubuntu
Ozera: you can run inetd on ubuntu afaik, if your looking for security, look into xinetd =)
Ozera: if you want to know what started TCP/UDP connections in general you can use netstat (-pone or something should work)
Ozera, inetd isn't that popular these days because most servers are on 24/7 and you want all services running from boot. so you dont do the whole inetd thing with servers. systemd used by fedora brings the concept back but for a different purpose (reducing power usage)
kk
thanks ^_^
cool now I got my win7 backing up on my gaming machine so I can try win8 and see how I like it, god I wish I could use linux for my main gaming OS :-(
Ozera, if you want you can install inetd but most security is handled through iptables so look at
thanks
escott, why does parted claim my disks are SCSI ?
Ozera, and make sure you arent looking at BSD docs because inetd is still used in BSD land
scsi was out of use like before I was born ;-p
no its not
Erin, because they are :) SATA is basically SCSI with ATA something
escott, oh yea?
cd /hd2
ls/FUCK
im not doing good with the 2 keyboard setup ;-\
Erin: I never do well with two keyboards at the same time :P
anyone else notice errors on virtualbox.org?
Erin, im rather fuzzy on all this but there is a difference between the scsi connector (Which is the physical connector and electrical connectivity standards) and the scsi protocol which is how to talk to the disk over that electrical connection. SATA uses a SATA connector and a SCSI type command protocol so the kernel uses the SCSI drivers
how to bring messaging indicator back to Xubuntu 12.10?
Erin, rinzler What you need is one keyboard with two people NCIS style
Flynsarmy, then she can ENHANCE
there's a weird error in my Evolution Mail, it says: <bold>Inbox(57)</bold> but when I click on it it displays no messages, what could be the problem?
rinzler, yea I usually use SSH w/ x forwarding on my gaming machine to control my linux box and avoid the 2 KB situation
Erin: that sounds like it'd work...
rinzler, it works well :-)
coolstar: yeah, 12.10 uses the new xorg which is not supported in VB yet
coolstar:  they say it is, but video acceleration does not work
zerowaitstate: I'm talkin about their website :P
oh, lol
Erin, how SCSI is SATA or the reverse or something ...http://virtualvenesect.com/2011/08/12/converting-a-servers-scsi-backplane-to-use-sata-drives/
coolstar: is it a picture of Larry Ellison eating a hotdog and suing Linux companies?
zerowaitstate: it's a bunch of python errors
escott: SAS controllers/backplanes can use SATA drives.  Also, in linux, quite a lot of IDE/SATA drivers are in the SCSI subsystem nowadays.
morning all
how can i upgrade ubuntu 10.04 lts to 12.04 lts via the command line ?
moo
andreb: sudo do-release-upgrade.
SwedeMike, yeah Erin had asked about it earlier... i just get fuzzy with what subset of the SCSI command system is incorporated in the SATA standard
escott: well, I guess one could say NCQ is inherited from SCSI... but yeah, I don't know the details either.
swedemike can you post a link where i can read up on it..
SwedeMike, well evidently the guy in the linked article managed to convert the electrical connectors of a SCSI controller to SATA pins and it was somehow usable..
SwedeMike, so it has to be real close
escott, man that dude is pretty smart, id never have pulled that off and my soldering skill is novice at best.
andreb: ok, what I'll do is google for "sudo do-release-upgrade" (including quotes) where the third hit for me is "http://www.liberiangeek.net/2012/04/upgrade-to-ubuntu-12-04-from-ubuntu-10-04-via-the-terminal/"
escott: SAS and SATA are closely related, yes. SAS controllers implement full support for SATA. SAS drives do not implement support for SATA however, so you can't use SAS drives with a SATA controller.
is SAS faster than SATA ?
ive seen the drives on newegg etc and they are wicked expensive.
SAS just lets you run a bunch of SATA drives with the one cable. is that the main benefit/difference?
Flynsarmy: no. advantage of SAS is it gives you a very flexible way of attaching storage (tape drives, hdd:s) with redundancy, you can build rings for redundancy etc.
what is a tape drive anyway lol ?
SAS is built for enterprise demands for high availability, high IOPS etc, whereas SATA is built fo be cheap.
Erin, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serial_attached_SCSI goes over some of the differences
also, SAS drives tend to implement more complete command sets, such as secure erase, etc
Erin: we use tapes where I work, lamefest
 tape just sounds slow to me
don't knock tape
Erin, there are also things like an enterprise disk when it encounters and error has firmware that fails the read immediately counting on the RAID controller to fix things up
Erin, consumer SATA will sit there and reread until the cows come home if it thinks it can get a good read of the data
tape is good for long term offsite storage etc, also an enterprise requirement.
escott, yea ive seen it do that on failing drives, pretty stupid
Erin: we have tape drives that do about 4Mb/s. Works well.
I  just check the connect
ActionParsnip, 4Mb/s is very slow though?
Erin, that rereading is a good thing if thats the only copy of your wedding video though... so different users different needs
im backing up a drive using DD @ 95 MB/S right now.
4Mb is OK
its slow ;-P
Is  /etc/lilo.conf not on ubuntu either?
Erin: runs overnight so we have time :), tape change at about 4pm then let it run again
Ozera: you can use lilo if you desire
at work we back up to LTO-5 tape at around 1 GB/min
zerowaitstate: same :)
but why bother with tape, wont a standard HD last almost forever if its not in use ?
Nah it's just it's part of this article I am reading
Erin: most likely company regulations
Does anyone know the name of the sticky notes application from 10.04? I just upgraded from that and it's gone, can't remember the name.
Erin: stuff like off site backups and such you can ship tapes off
Hello guys newbie here
atleast easier than a bunch of hard drives =)
But you can ship an HD ...
Andrea_Avea: welcome to Ubuntu
Erin: ^^
"The logs on your system are your way of knowing what is, and has been going on. Logs are located in /var/log. " What logs would I be monitoring?
oh, are these tapes small ?
Erin: yes
Erin: 750Mb
Erin: they're small and not as heavy as hdds
I meant small in size, but they are small in capacity also ?
Erin: sorry, Gb
ahh.
our tapes are 1.5 terabytes
anyone know how to make xrandr make the right monitor the primary monitor?
compressed; 750 GB actual
tape backups are good for multi-generation incremental backups, you move them offsite for long term storage, some are designed for tens of years of shelf life.
and do tapes get formatted just like HDs ?
erin, no tape formating is different
Erin: no
Erin: they are sequentially read and written
it's basically a tar-file...
yep
I know what sequentially means
OH
so its like an archive...
yup
SolarisBoy: Would you know the answer to my question?
Erin: they can be, most days you'll just scratch it and the tape will be marked overwritable so will start at the beginning
tar.gz + tape == awesome :3
Erin: http://gsysd.com/articles/a-comparison-of-disk-v-tape-in-a-backup-system.html seems to dweel quite deeply into the subject.
Erin: tar = (t)ape (ar)chive
Ah nevermind, I found the file it uses.
I love this channel lol, came to figure out why I couldnt mount a drive got an education in scsi and tapes ;-p
Ozera: what question?
blablablabla
LOOOL
SolarisBoy: "The logs on your system are your way of knowing what is, and has been going on. Logs are located in /var/log. " What logs would I be monitoring?
Glans
since there are A LOT
although a lot of people do backup to disk then tape in a lot of cases
Ozera, there are all kinds of logs lol do ls -l /var/log
Ozera: it depends on what your looking for
I want to keep my home directory in a seperate partition, how do i do it?
how much space i need to reserve for default ubuntu
SolarisBoy: Merh, I don't know what I am looking for. What is important to look for?
rsv, when you format the disk you just make / on one partition /home on another
rsv, id say 10-15gb to be safe...
Ozera: /var/log is the common location of system logs and other application logs as well - e.g. a base install basically logs most things there, and when you install new apps, they generally log their stuff there as well
Erin: I know. There are many many
Erin: for default ubuntu?
SolarisBoy: ok.
rsv, yea im on 12.10 and my / uses under 4 gB with xfce gui lol
Erin: will it ask me if i re-install ubuntu
my glans said ok
Ozera: again it depends on what your looking for. eg you may be interested in syslog, messages, kern.log for stuff concerning the system
Erin: i also have windows in my disk
rsv, yes it will, tell it to setup partitions on your disk. and make / and /home on seperate partitions
SolarisBoy: can you explain kern.log?
Ozera: or you may reference auth.log for things concerning authentication etc - so as stated it really depends
rsv, manually that is.
rsv: for default desktop or server system ?
SolarisBoy: that sounds important.
Erin: when u say manually what is it
blackshirt: my desktop system
having issues with 12.10 & samba: http://pastie.org/5187437
rsv, its an option in the setup, when you get to the partitioning section you tell it that you are gonna do it manually
Ozera: simply put there are different "parts" of the system that log in linux or atleast with syslog/rsyslog, they are broken into groups
okay thanks
SolarisBoy: ok
rsv, then you tell it to make one for / about 10gb to be safe id say and one for /home and /swap thats all you need
rsv, more big compared to default server install, its about 10GB or more was safe enought
how much for swap?
Erin: kern.log is messages coming from kern.* (i forget if its all levels of kernel messages or what) but anyway its kernel messages or message that log into the kernel facility
rsv, how much ram you got ?
SolarisBoy, yea thats kernel messages..
SolarisBoy, also check out /var/log/syslog
rsv, commonly twices of ram you have
cat /proc/meminfo shows: 16451508 kB
kiss my glans
Erin: thanks, i was aware =)
StormTwo, get a girlfriend
lol
and grow up also.
Erin: is there an app to check how much is my ram
free @ rsv
i dont belive i got 16gb
SolarisBoy: what are you saying?
rsv: it also shows in top and in the meminfo file (its just in kb)
rsv: the command is "free" or "top"
rsv: or you can look in meminfo file 'cat /proc/meminfo'
rsv: free -m
 rsv you forget how much ram u bouught lol ?
Erin: this one was loaned to me by my boss
SolarisBoy: 16451508
SolarisBoy: isnt that 16gb?
i guess i didn't do the math =)
looks like it
or about that..
Erin: accordingly you want me to have a 32gb swap?
wassup?
you really dont need to rsv
nah
id say 8gb is plenty
unless you run a huge db or app that has that type of requirement
Erin: 8gb of swap
rsv: how much swap is shown as used now in the "top" command?
rsv, 8gb should be plenty swap is hardly ever used anyway its when ram gets full I believe
lol
lol
lol
lol
swap: 4193276k
rsv: is that the used or available?
total
look at whats used out of that rsv
eg look at the usage on a normal basis - its probably not a lot unless you have some production apps running or something lol
8gb is fine - its probably still alot
SolarisBoy, isnt swap only used when ram is full anyway ?
Erin: no
the system uses swap in other situations as well
SolarisBoy: Erin: my usage: http://pastebin.ca/2248429
my ubuntu computer sucks -_-
StormTwo: bet mine's worse :)
rsv: its not really using a lot at all
okay guys, let me give it 4gb
and let me try
thanks
ActionParsnip: how bad is yours?
Erin: swap use is dictated a lot by vm.swappines :)
yeps
mines is at 10 =)
StormTwo: single core semp 3000+ with 2Gb DDR2 and onboard nvidia 6150 256Mb
StormTwo: 1.6Ghz
StormTwo: thats my best system I own
trying to upgrade and this is the erorr i get
ActionParsnip: well that's better than mine -_-

ActionParsnip, yea id throw that machine out if I had it lol!!!
ImportError: No module named GnuPGInterface
uh oh
ActionParsnip, infact I did throw a similar one out recently haha.
Erin: what you got?
my 'buntu machine is an i3 550. my gaming machine is an i5 3750k
both heavily oc'd w/ 8gb of ram
Erin, why aren't they the same box?
how do I get to the aditional drivers settings?
I used to be able to get right to them, but I can't find them in the menus anymore
BoomerBile, ?
where is the Evolution folder?
Erin, my gaming machine and my ... well i don't run ubuntu unless it's on a laptop... are the same machine
Hi All, I cant get vnc4server working on ubuntu 12.10 and am ready to throw away that desktop now.. sad cause I have grown  to like unity... Anyone know a decent replacement desktop and the commands to install it?
BoomerBile, one is a gaming machine, i5 3570k w/ nvidia gtx 670
rinzler: im on 12.04 i opened the lens search thing and typed additional hardware and the icon shows
How do I turn on the VNC server in ubuntu 12.10?
because I must run windows for most games I play.....
Erin: I don't think I have 8Gb RAM in all my systems combined :)
sorry for the flood
SolarisBoy: yeah, but I'm on an entirely different desktop than that. Not gonna work for me
Erin, mine is a gentoo box core 2 quad q6600 with all nvidia chipset and nvidia geforce 250 gts... but my point is my gaming box is linux.
ActionParsnip, you could get a decent upgrade from that "system" for very cheap ;-P
BoomerBile, well no offense but you call that a gaming box ? :-)
Erin: true but its working, I'll upgrade when it dies
rinzler: ah ic
Erin why wouldn't I? what can't i play on it?
The thing with the default vnc, is I cant set it to a resolution on the fly, AND I havent been able to get it to login outside of my network...
BoomerBile, anything recent on maxed out settings w/ AA or even on high settings ;-P
Erin, want screen shots of xfce4 running skyrim and steam?
vnc4server works a treat in 12.4 , but no longer since unity-2d is removed
so... time for a new desktop
crysis 2?
maxed out?
BoomerBile, ahh skyrim sucks fallout 3 /NV for the win.
how about halo?
maxed out on a gtx 250 ?
BoomerBile: id like to see =) that stuff is cool
wine is awesome and it's not hard to use
yea but ur not running skyrim maxed out with a 250 lol
who you trying to fool ?
Thought this was am ubuntu support channel
yeah i am
this is everything BUT
here let me get you the screenies
taken with ksnapshot
at what
10 fps ?
Erin gets quick help , but when i need it no one wana help me  :(
90
no way bro.
stop trolling.
If slenderman is real he will smash my head on this keyboardsaudfysgfuygeasiry27893t5rse89dfsw[p[df
Erin: plays flash fullscreen at regular def and plays Urban terror just dandy
mangoz, what is your issue ?
what's the command to get to the aditional drivers settings?
SolarisBoy: thanks anyways :)
rinzler, you can use jockey-gtk
coolstar: what do you mean? i dun understand what you're talking about
anyone know how to turn on screen sharing on ubuntu 12.10?
rinzler: yw ;>
rinzler: what GPU are you using?
Erin: nevermind
rinzler: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNC/Servers   if you want it over WAN then use the link ubottu gave. There may be a sleeker solution to what you are trying to achieve
ActionParsnip: ? not looking for vnc info...?
hello all, can we install freeradius on 12.04 desktop? will it work?
coolstar: ^
rinzler: sorry, wrong target
rinzler: what GPU are you using?
Go To Sleep.
ActionParsnip: I just want over local network
ActionParsnip: ah. it's cool. All i remember is nvidia. I remember getting the drivers through the additional drivers program (whatever you call it...). My endgame is getting the nvidia xserver settings
coolstar: then SSH isn't needed, what are you wanting to do on the remote system once you get connected?
rinzler: then just install nvidia-current   no need for an extra app etc :)
ActionParsnip: awesome! Thanks!
 Does anyone know if there is a way of listing older versions with apt-get ? kind of like ArchLinux pacman -Ss?
ActionParsnip: open windows, etc
ActionParsnip: basically normal VNC
it used to be under System Preferences > Remote Desktop back on 10.10
my sound stopped - the only thing i did was run tiger, that wouldn't change permissions, would it?
im trying to install an old version of VLC and it seems to be a bitch as if you cant use the package manager you have to compile ffmpeg and all kind of other horrible stuff
anyone know a faster way of doing that?
DeathStar, why do you need an old version of vlc ?
coolstar: but to achieve what? If you want remote file access you can use samba or SSHFS and get file access, no need for full desktop access for that
ActionParsnip: I need to open some apps that I cant otherwise use on my tablet
Erin: the newer versions of one of the flash codecs doesn't work with a particular type of flash encoding
coolstar: ahh tablets, good fun. Makes sense
DeathStar, flash needs to DIE
DeathStar, flash needs to DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE!
CATS
Erin: it has something to do with the On2 VP6 variant of the codec
Erin: all my RHCE material is in that format and i'm having to watch it on my mac ;D
rhce ?
red hat cert
redhat certified engineer
but yeah redhat cert
DeathStar: you can compile the version you want
SolarisBoy: I looked into that, and VLC has a wild amount of dependancies that have to be re-compiled as well
DeathStar: you can do a cheat that sometimes works for me
Hi.
do share plz
I'm new to Ubuntu

anyone else here find that getting drunk helps your command line skills go up?
DeathStar: it degrades mine =)
DeathStar: oh god no. I end up hammering TAB shouting "It's a thing! do what I say"
did a bare isntall so i dont have synaptic install.. and python is already upto date
andreb: reinstalling the package may help
SolarisBoy: I just kind of accept the commands instead of questioning why have a -E instead of a -e when all the other commands for that package are lower case and thats the only uppercase
i did
ActionParsnip, I might have a machine I can mail you lol
reisntall it
let me tyr to upgrade again
DeathStar: haha - the man page generally helps for that
SolarisBoy: as long as you can find your anykey your good
still the same error
most times cause they have some many dang args they already used the -e
yeah
is tehre a way to see if gnupgiinterface is install via command line ?

DeathStar: the guys in #bash may know a few useful links
and it sounds like it would come in the default python base but im not sure - thats probably why ActionParsnip said reinstall python2.6 =)
ActionParsnip, what did you say ur using, single core sempron ?
DeathStar: good with perl but not with bash? you will probably do good by just trying then
Erin: gonna get me a fitpc when it croaks, or some other tiny PC box thing
Erin: yeah AM2 cocket 1.6Ghz
ActionParsnip, I think I got an Athlon 6400 or something in the basement collecting dust
and spiders ;-P
i tried to install the package and got this http://pastebin.ca/2248431
spiders like computers for some reason
should i force isntall the package ?
andreb: fix the broken packages first
andreb: then install the dependencies
k..
dumb question ..how can i fix those borken packages ?
andreb: you can try apt-get install -f
andreb: run apt-get with "-f"
andreb: try apt-get --help
how do i give unprivileged users acess to the mouse from the virtual console?
andreb: sudo apt-get -f install
gpm works fine for the fbcon but SDL programs that need a pointing device do not
andreb: (I like to give the full command)
oops put the -f backwards
;>
andreb: are you trying to update from ppa sourced packages?
i am trying to upgrade from 10.04 lts to 12.04 lts
action :)
guys teh sudo apt-get install -f doesnt seem to fix teh broken packages
hello
i am new to ubuntu and I am a normal user
not a programmer i just prefer it on windows
andreb: http://pastebin.ca/2248433 <-- look at the bottom of the paste, did you follow something along those lines?
i am looking for a software that works as real player
dina_: look for helix player
i want to be able to save videos from youtube and convert the video to mp3
andreb try with: sudo dpkg --purge --force-remove-reinstreq
dina_: vlc also plays realmedia files. youtube-dl is a cli program that will pull the videos from yt and then you can covert them to audio via ffmpeg
dina_: there is also a program called youtube-dl that works on the command line with one argument, the link to the youtube video, extra arguments will extract the audio or video stream only to a file of your choice
dina_, what browser you using
yes i did alm
dina_: why bother there is a site taht does that for you
firefox
which site?
dina_: www.video2mp3.net/
andreb: pastebin your /etc/apt/sources.list
dina try also with downverter
thank you
dina_: http://www.youtube-mp3.org
dina_: no need for extra software and messing around when the functionality already exists
hi. is it possible to keep the ubuntu version but upgrade just the kernel?
does anyone know how to use the Griffin Power Mate with 12.10?
dina_: OS independant too
thank you very much i will go try it
sure BadThing
is there anyway to make my screen saver not turn on when i am watching a fullscreen movie?
BadThing: using a kernel from another release isn't advised or supported, but you are free to do as you please
BadThing: sure. just install your kernel.
brandon420: what movie player are you using?
CosmicStorm: i want to keep my ubuntu 8.04 but upgrade just the kernel (to the latest supported) because I dont have much HD space
brandon420 try caffeine
ok thanks
k almox
BadThing: you are wanting the most current kernel on an old machine?
almoxarife: its not that old
almoxarife : http://pastebin.com/uEtg8iba
but yeah
i dont like the newer ubuntus... especially the DE
what version are you running BadThing?
8.04
BadThing: xorg-edgers ppa, install it, what ever the kernel is that shows up is the one that your version will be able to use
kernel version i mean
oh, im not sure, im on another machine

Just installed 12.04 LTS.  Screen said it needed to reboot.  Pulled CD, rebooted into Windows 7.  Rebooted and selected F12, which showed me options to boot from my HD or DVD.  Choosing HD took me straight to Windows 7 again.  Please help.
BadThing: Have you tried Xubuntu 12.04 or 12.10?
xfce \m/
no i dont like xfce
almoxarife ??
i want to keep my old nome
i guess you're using Gnome 2?
yea
he can install it on 12.04 right ?
andreb: what?
george_kamp did you see grub menu?
i paste what my soruce.list file has
Hey guys
CosmicStorm: no grub menu at all
alocer: what is the 12.X versions foot print after a fresh install?
just Windows MRB, right?
BadThing: sry ! footprint ?
andreb: i did not see any ppa shown, so that is not effecting the upgrade, something else is wrong, not sure what
SolarisBoy, VLC
CosmicStorm, sarcasm?
cant seem to get around this problem
alocer: how much space does it take up on the hardrive? ubuntu8.04 was around ~4GB
just want to be sure how he boot into windows again
ubottu: that is a bash script.  I can't get to Ubuntu.
i guess that he need to repair grub
BadThing: i read somewhere that 4GB is too much for 12.x le me look
andreb: there are two apps shown, install them first
george_kamp: Can you boot from a LiveCD/USB?
BadThing: 3.7GB
andreb: in your first paste, gvfs and plymouth
oh thats not bad
brandon420: its in the vlc settings
brandon420: choose the advanced settings view, and then go to the video section you will see "disable screensaver" ticket it and click "save"
Jordan_U: I can boot from a kubuntu 12.10 DVD
BadThing: my 12.04 is about 3Gb big
BadThing: Not at all ;)
george_kamp: That will work.
SolarisBoy, Thank you sir
brandon420: your welcome ;>
Jordan_U: thanks.  will give that a try
thanks alocer, i think will just get ubuntu12.10 with gnome3 :)
i cant stand unity
I'm sort of new to the whole ubuntu/linux thing, and was just wondering, what could u do witht the terminal?
and its web app crap
u can get the old gnome too
dont worry
georgehank: You're welcome.
alocer: i love gnome and the newer ones, i just hate unity thats all
and all those web apps... i think they are completely unnecesarry
N03L: most of the things you can do in a terminal - command line is a strong point in linux based distros
BadThing: lol
BadThing: +1
^-^
This is not a channel to remind us how bad unity is, BadThing. Keep it to support :P
N03L: meant to say most things you can do in a gui you can do in a terminal
:true story: Badthing
BadThing: If you like GNOME Shell that's easy to install.
N03L, SolarisBoy: and a lot of things possible from the terminal are not as easily done from the gui
So far I've only learned how to use IRC, and move a few files here and there. I've tried learning how to setup/view email/gmail via terminal, but didn't work out too well.
exactly
like automation and such
What do you guys suggest I learn as a beginner?
N03L: it depends on you - learning the command line is a good idea for a linux based os user
wow, Richard Stallman is following me on identi.ca
xD
:')
N03L: look into alpine if you want a terminal based email client that you can setup gmail with
N03L: for email you can try alpine, it is pretty straight forward
N03L: or mutt
CosmicStorm: now dent something about "open source" and "linux"
you can use twitter with twidge if you want :)
more CLI love
and there is also google-cl that you can access google apps with =)
extra love !
Thanks fellas, very helpful. Should keep me busy for my holidays.
N03L: it also makes you look cooler around company
YBook: ur dns is cool
N03L: if you really wanna burn time in a shell you can mess around with emacs
looks like ipv6
* SolarisBoy stays out of emacs topics
dsprc: I'll be sure to look into it.
I'm just trying to be a little more technologically savvy.
Sort of regret dropping out of multimedia at uni, I was learning quite a bit there.
cool, im tryin out Alpine
CosmicStorm: it's nice
look at me, im using MOC and Alpine
lol
CosmicStorm: just switched from irssi, pine, calcurse to thunderbird, xchat
CosmicStorm: still using bitlbee
i like irssi too
love to change my ctcp version on irssi
ok.. so ive had a bunch of random crashes, and i came in here and basically described it, random crash, reboot, startup fails , for some reason sometimes i cant see my drive in bios, but after alot of persistance, i can manage to boot, but.. its an unstable thing and i can crash at any moment again. i did a memory test as people suggested, and it failed durring the "random number sequence".  I then tried all four memory cards individually on th
brady: your line was truncated.
I am trying to change the submission port in postfix from 587 to 25, but i think port 25 is blocked, how can i be sure that it is blocked or not blocked?
brady: your hard drive is toast?
crap.. where was it trunciated at?
Eagleman: open a shell, do "telnet mailserver 25" and see if you get "connection established". Or just use wireshark to see the packets on the wire.
four memory cards individually on th* brady
brady: "individually on th    "
SwedeMike to which server?
Eagleman: to whatever you want to connect to.
 I then tried all four memory cards individually on their own in a memory test, and discovered all four produce errors eventually.  What also makes me wonder, is although i bought all of them together about a month ago, i dimly recall that .. I believe but am not sure, i thought the memory actually came in two separate packs of 2.
how do i gibe unprivileged users access to the mouse from the virtual console? gpm works fine for the raw fbcon but SDL programs that need a pointing device do not. running them as root works, but probably not a good idea to play games as root...
Like i said, i want to run my own mail server on submission port 25
brady: your hard drive is toast?
s/gibe/give
 This makes me wonder how two seperate packages of ram could have manufactures defects that had gone undetected.  is it possible that for some reason there are some bios settings at fault?
Actually its more a relay agent since its pushing all mail to the mail server from my ISP
how can you remove all unity tools once gnome3-shell has been installed?
sudo apt-get remove unity unity-2d?
why would my hard drive being toast, cause errors in a memory test
Eagleman: well then, then you need to try to connect to port 25 from the outside, ask a friend or use a shell account elsewhere.
Eagleman: is it relaying for clients on your LAN?
brady: bios memory timings might be the cause as well.
SolarisBoy Also WAN, i want to be able to use mail from anywhere
interesting swedemike
Eagleman: do you have a NAT router in front of the mail server?
No
Eagleman: what's wrong with using 587? we have millions of customers who use 587 to submit email. Port 25 is for MTA to MTA communication, not for MUAs to submit email.
is GMX mail working on Alpine?
im unfamiliar with bios memory timings, although im aware that there is a memory section in the bios
The server has a wan address attached on eth1.10
brady: i was under the impression you had passed the memory test, my bad, your memory is toast, your bad
is that typically something where i would enter in the frequency of the memory?
SwedeMike thats what i want, i'm currently using the opposite
Hi, I've made a change to sshd_config and want to restart. How do I do that properly? I was hoping for something like '/etc/init.d/sshd restart' but I can't find anything sshd-related there
Eagleman: what type of ISP is it a residential plan or a business/enterprise?
how could all four memory cards fail similtanously?
just because it could be them filtering port 25, but like SwedeMike you can trace from outside and see
residential plan, and i think i am already on one of the blacklists and ze spamhaus
doesn't that seem unlikely?
Eagleman: do a tcptraceroute <your public ip> 25 from outside your house one day
osse: tried 'sudo service ssh restart' ?
or connect to your 3/4g and try
http://www.spamhaus.org/query/ip/84.107.203.59
SolarisBoy i am already remote
But i only have windows
Eagleman: you have checked that the port is open and etc there on the host right?
almoxarife: I haven't but I think I found the answer: /etc/init./ssh actually controls sshd, not ssh
I will log in on one of the virtual machines and try the tcptraceroute
osse: alrighty then
ok
if anyone has any other ideas, speak now or forever hold your peace, as i will restart and start poking around in my bios memory settings to see if anything can be done.  I still find it weird that two sets of memory in individual packaging would all fail at once, and i appreciated the suggestion that it may hae to to with memory timing.
[08:36] <Eagleman> Looks like i can connect
[08:36] <Eagleman> I end up at the ip address
 tcptraceroute 84.107.2**.** 25
okay so if the last hop is suffixed by something like [ack] the port is open externally
 9  *********.cm-12-4d.dynamic.ziggo.nl (84.107.2**.**)  11.389 ms  15.560 ms  16.158 ms
Eagleman: what are you trying to do? whats the error your facing?
SolarisBoy trying to change the postfix transmission port from 587 to 25
But i am not sure if port 25 is blocked becuase i am on the blacklist
http://www.spamhaus.org/pbl/query/PBL1526778
telnet to the mail port from outside and try and do a full mail convo
the error code returned should indicate why its not working
Last time i solved it by using a relayagent
hmm...
sounds weird.. was the "relay agent" a different ip address?
anyway - if your being blocked for spamming chaning the port wont work
hm... on many other util-linuces I can cal -m << display calendar horizontally starting on monday. on ubuntu 12.04 it seems to be different. any hints on this anywhere?
Connected to eagleman.net.
220 eagleman.net ESMTP Postfix
anyone know somewhere I can find some new linux software in source form? interested in seeing some newish lesser known products to test out, specifically ones I have to compile myself first.
Eagleman7: you are not just running one mail server but two, imap also, take the issue to #linux
does this look kosher? ideal/safe solution?  https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=848185#p848185
Eagleman7: thats just the mail header from an initial connection the actual error would come later like after the HELO/EHLO
Hi, I'm trying to make mod_jk to work with apache and tomcat, but I get an error message when trying to start apache: mod_jk.so No such file, I checked in the apache directory and the file is not there, why is the file not there? from where can I get it?
dsprc, yeah, I don't see a problem with it
SolarisBoy i was blocked becuase its a resedential ip address, and the relayagent is from my ISP
it depends though i've seen people get blocked and just get connection resets also but w/e i guess its off topic
So i am just forwarding the mail
jalexandru: afaik you need to make/install it unless there is a seperate package for it in the ubuntu repo's or a ppa
jalexandru: grr config/make you really dont need to install it much more than copy it in place
SO what command should i issue on the telnet connection?
cal isn't available as additional package. hmm, seems the installed version is from bsdmainutils
SolarisBoy: thanks for the answer, from where can I copy it? I  searched the tomcat-connector folder and haven't find it...? any other place?
Eagleman7: explain to us nice folk one more time why you need FOUR mail servers?
jalexandru: have you already built the tomcat-connector ? if so there is a .so file under there (relative to where you typed make) thats the one you need to copy
Has ANYONE, managed to get vnc working on 12.10? not just the default shyte VNC that comes installed
jalexandru: if you haven't yet installed mod_jk you need to grab it from the interwebz run configure and make or maybe just make i forget but it does come with a read me
SolarisBoy, thanks for the info
jalexandru: i am not sure what your doing but i hear mod_loadbalancer is nice also (if your proxying to tomcat or some other java container)
grr mod_proxy =)
almoxarife I am only running Dovecot and Postfix, and forwading ( relay agent ) the mail to my ISP's mail server, why? becuase i want to use my FQDN's to send and recieve mail
that may also be easier to acquire in more stnadard methods
Eagleman7: what ever, its off topic!
Eagleman7: try taking a look here http://www.yuki-onna.co.uk/email/smtp.html
if you can't complete the convo it will likely give you the reason why in format of the final error code before disconnecting you or you disconnect
SolarisBoy, I've missed the "make" step ... I'm back on track now ... thanks again
sure
dsprc: it's my bounce which does this, I am using it not for so long but I will try to change this
Really no one is talking about this? Ive posted on the forums and there is no response... absolutely no reponse here... VNC just flat out does not work with the new Unity! what is everyone else using? anyone upgraded and not finding this an abortion?... (Really like everything else about it btw)
dsprc: should be better now
d1rkp1tt: may i suggest an alternative? KDE!
d1rkp1tt: found this online not sure if it helps or not seems like other people have had the issue: http://kb.realvnc.com/questions/196/VNC+Server+in+Virtual+Mode+does+not+start+correctly+on+Ubuntu+12.04
d1rkp1tt: If it doesn't work, consider filing a ticket upstream.
Thaks both.... I am going to try cinamon
ihavelund... will do.. thanks
i see someone got nxviewer working with unity in 2D mode too =)
12.04 and 12.10 are different..... they removed unity-2d
ohh wompwomp =( srry
I dont think NX runs on 12.10
sad day
Its super gay
Anyone have a guide to install full unity, if you installed "gnome-remix" and wanted to try unity again?
awesome desktop that you cant remote
=(
actually, default vnc works BUT.... cant set resolution and I have never been able to get it running externally
vooze: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
xangua: ah okay, thanks
wholy crap, I cant get rid of desktop haha
how do you remove this thing?
I did
apt-get remove ubuntu-desktop
and apt-get remove unity
still takes me to a login screen
and into desktop
but its blown away menu system
where is the server channel?
Iceman_B: #ubuntu-server
who knew huh
Every time I change the output from speakers to headphones, it reverts back whenever I unplug or even fiddle with my headphones. How can I make it permanently disable the speakers?
I have ubuntu 12.04, would switching to gnome classic be earier on my netbook graphics wise if Im connected to an external monitor??
easier**
alm my upgrade has started
ok. that did not work and the pointing device is still only accessible by root... :-/
i am hoping for a quick answer eh?
How do i delete my command history?
skunk: easier than what?
skunk: does gnome classic use compiz? if not then yeah it's slightly lighter than unity
Eagleman7: rm ~/.bash_history
Eagleman7: rm .bash_history && history -c
skunk: though frankly gnome and unity are heavy as hell
hey is there anyway of locking down a server so that is next-to impossible to read any of the data off it if you have physical access to the machine and still run a webserver on it
Which one of the two suggested :P?
i.e. fully encrypt the drive etc
darnit man.. i dunno if this is an ubuntu problem.. or me hooking up a netbook in general to a high res monitor
i guess:  rm ~/.bash_history && history -c
u think windows 8 would cope well with this set up??
CrazyHorse18: webserver as in serving webpages? if so then no
yep
CrazyHorse18: one directory will have to be readable for that
ok, we're installing an ubuntu server at many schools
we need to lock down the hardware as much as possible
what can we do
assume one of the IT staff at one of the schools has a vested interest in getting at the data on the servers
describe what you want to limit on hardware
it runs the web-app that's it
SSH and 443
they can't have terminal, they can't loging
they don't know the password
if the machine reboots, it needs to come back up though (i.e. powerloss)
we can lock down the web-app as much as possible.. + do remote updates to ensure patches etc
you can run apache as a different user (this is standard) without actively login in (again this is normal)
but i meant as far as securing things like.. them taking the hard drive out and mounting it in a different machine
aeon-ltd: yeah we run nginx as a different user
CrazyHorse18: if they took the hdd out then unless it's encrypted it' always readable
can you have it encrypted but without having to input a password to boot the machine up
CrazyHorse18: so you need to also setup some sort of alarm if the chasis is opened. get one that can be locked. epoxy the uneeded ports closed
ohhhh
hello everyone
dsprc: yes great idea
epoxy everything.. because we wouldn't need anything but network and power
i put some script on /etc/profile.d/mys.sh ... but it's not run as root user ... i need place to define some variables for whole users on machine
If you rm a file, will it still exists on the harddrive or is there a parameter to overwrite that sector for so many times?
ok so the only thing they would be able to do
is they would have to cut open the case to get around the case alarm
and then get some ram reading machine to get the encyrption key out the ram
Eagleman7: you can use 'srm' it defaults to 35 gutman passes on files
CrazyHorse18: what school is this that it is assumed students will break hw?
call - that's hardcore enough
aeon-ltd: the servers are going to be used for distributing exams
CrazyHorse18: i doubt they could get the key out after powering down
ok
so i assume what will happen is that somewhere, one of the IT staff will be getting bribed
then selling the exam lots of times
it's happened before
i would tackle that problem first
in china btw
dsprc will it differ on a ssd? becuase of trim?
Eagleman7: not sure. there is really no "secure" overwrite for SS media
Why not?
dobar dan, junaci !
Eagleman7: you can do a simple 'wipe' and maybe 2 passes. should be enough to thwart casual recovery
I'm trying to install/config mercurial I downloaded the latest version, decompressed it, I run make local but when I run ./hg debug install I get an error: No username supplied! where can I supplie the username?
Eagleman7: it has something to do with how they allocate and write the data. it all really depends on your threat model
2 passes should be fine
dsprc Its a machine used to sign certificates, like for openvpn
I dont want someone to recover my signing key ( ca.key )

What sort of encryption is used when you encrypt your homefolder? and how do i know if it works?
abhinavmehta: i learnt a lot here https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Simple_stateful_firewall
hihi
ev8d
I'm facing a wired problem
thank you aeon-ltd :)
when I run the http request via browser with https://graph.facebook.com/me  , it works.  but if I use whenever ruby net/http or curl ,  it tell me ConnectionRefused..  How come?
thanks
Eagleman7: i think it defaults to AES128 or 256 (but dont quote me on that). you are able to specify the cipher you wish to use but i dont recall exactly how atm.
Eagleman7: not sure how many rounds it uses either by default
hello everibody
yo
dsprc When is the "specific home folder decrypted" ?
i need help
open vpn  source 127.0.0.1 destination 127.0.0.1
cannot connect
yo_: what kind of help? Please, describe the problem.
yo_ you've got to use different ip addresses. The address you're using is a loopback and won't work.
Hi. everybody.. I'm facing a wired problem..  when I run the http request via browser with https://graph.facebook.com/me  , it works.  but if I use whenever ruby net/http or curl ,  it tell me ConnectionRefused..  How come?
keanehsiao: i'd guess because you are not authenticating as a user
Eagleman7: assume when it is mounted and after you feed it the key. is the whole disk encrypted or just the home folder?
Jeruvy: likely you have a cookie already in your browser. Maybe not so in curl
keanehsaio: be patient. Not all of us are even at the computer or are available. Is it wired, or weird?
keanehsiao: here http://pastebin.com/sMy72Vjk
keanehsiao:  likely you have a cookie already in your browser. Maybe not so in curl
i want to connect with open vpn but the destination is 127.0.0.1 (open vpn failed because the connection timed out)
yo_: that ip is localhost
yo_: that makes no sense when the destination is 127.0.0.1
yo_: i.e. you
@aeon-ltd:  I do provide the params with ?access_token=my_access_token , so it does retrieve back the data with browser..  but not curl
yo_: If you have a VPN server to connect to, 172.0.0.1 won't work. It's a loopback. Said that already.
yo_, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Localhost
keanehsiao: additional information always helps. Pastebin helps most, but then you have to reveal your access token...
thanks everibody
yo_ your welcome
keanehsiao: works fine here. Did you enclose the url in quotes with curl?
np, yo_
@somsip: yes.. but it just shows ConnectionRefused under ubuntu...
keanehsiao: as I said, working fine here with curl
keanehsiao: "failed", eh
keanehsiao: that's a shame
keanehsiao: what a pity none of us have a way to guess what the error might be
keanehsiao, it works for me
keanehsiao: BTW, what would you like your new status to read? ;-)
keanehsiao: quick, get the fire extinguisher!
XD
keanehsiao: it failed! your computer is going to explode!
keanehsiao: or alternatively you could tell us what it actually *does* when you try it
keanehsiao, post it here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/
When is an encrypted homefolder decrypted ( in which circumstances )? and how do i know if it works?
Eagleman7: it works because you can see your files
Eagleman7: afaik it's decrypted at login
Eagleman7: if you are using an encrypted home directory, make a full backup of your homedir every day
Eagleman7: or at least everything you care about keeping
Eagleman7: Don't forget hidden folders and files in the backup.
gordenjcp: exactly
Hi.
here is the info http://paste.ubuntu.com/1334303/

how to install downloaded thunderbird addon manually
?
we just tried curl with google as the content, and it just failed
n1: I don't think that's possible.
what is the easiest way tomigrate from one server to another preserving all data and settings?
Rootbrain http://bluezync.kaarposoft.dk/manual.html
gordonjcp when i log in on the user dave and cd to mathew's folder can i see whats inside?
n1: think you can drag and drop it to the addons window. or move it to the plugins folder
though don't get the symbolic link part
dsprc tried, doesn't work
Is only daves folder decrypted? becuase when i switch to the user root i can look inside dave's folder
Eagleman7: if you have permissions to
n1: apologies, I haven't used thunderbird in years.
guys I got a quick detail question: how do I setup xfce to start a menu when pushing windows key? like start menu thing gnome 2 has basically
So daves folder is decrypted when i log in with the user mathew?
here is the info http://paste.ubuntu.com/1334303/  , and it success if I change the url to yahoo.com   but failed if I use google.com
webgen: Linux Mint 13 featuring xfce has that, I believe, or xubuntu.
Rootbrian: I am running on xubuntu right now do you know how would I setup a shortcut of that window key ?
Rootbrian: it doesnt do anything on windows key
webgen: hold on a second.
Rootbrian: thanks dude
webgen: I believe it's ctrl-f1
webgen: linux is far different than windows. :)
Rootbrian I just checked its alt+f1 :P thanks for tip ;)
Rootbrian: I mean, I press windows key in gnome/unity they open a startup thing
Hi, in nautilus I can't see my other partitions! What do I do?
Eagleman7: daves are decrypted when dave logs in. the keys are stored in ram which presumably root has access to
webgen, yeah, it launches the dash home
webgen: alt-f2 is run. Ctrl-f1 is different for each distro I believe. Doesn't work in xubuntu
mirasravi: sudo fdisk -l to see if they are available at all through terminal
meant0m, do you have any idea how to make dash home kind of thing in xubuntu ?
webgen: yes, they're available in terminal
mount command doesn't work
webgen: click the xfce start button (mouse), Settings > settings manager. Launch Keyboard, then hit up the Application Shortcuts tab.
mirasravi: I am not pro but try from gparted or disk utility or something
disk utility doesn't start at all :(
gparted shows it alright
Rootbrian: awsome dude !!! saved me a lot of time :)
mirasravi: What mount command are you running and what error message do you get?
webgen: thanks
webgen: *your welcome
Rootbrian, I didnt even think about it would have shortcut configuration xD
mirasravi: try from Gparted lemme know if it works I am also curious :P
err msg --> "mount: can't find /dev/sda3 in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab"
hello
I checked fstab file, it contains only one entry, for the current linux fs
-d
fs
hello
chaina
china
we hear you linu x)
OK
gparted can't mount them too :\
mirasravi: my knowledge's last assumption is that your system file manager is out of sync ?
if I need to trace, can help me on how to trace up ?  thanks....

Hey hey hey, could I get some help with WUBI please?
TFC: any reason you need wubi?
auronandace: Yeah, I'm out right now, but Windows is killing me.
TFC: help with wubi you say?
Not got a USB/CD with me
TFC: don't use it
How come?
TFC: a vm is better
ive created these udev rules and am still not able to access the mouse from the console unless i am root. http://paste.ubuntu.com/1334335/
TFC: it's *awful*
TFC: it doesn't work
Oh :c
How so?
wubi is a terrible idea, and it causes way more problems than it solves
Well that sucks :c
Is there any effective way of installing Ubuntu without a USB/CD on me then?
TFC: wubi is meant to be like a tester before you install for real
there used to be a thing called umsdos back in the early days of Linux that tried to do much the same thing
that sucked, too
you've just got to go through so many layers of indirection, it's painfully slow and not very reliable
TFC: Yes, but none that's particularly easy.
Ah. Thanks for your help ^
TFC: the easiest thing is to pop into Tesco and buy a 2GB USB stick for a fiver
or if they're doing the packs of three for 9 quid, get that instead
I have one, it's just not with me and Windows makes me want to crack a baby panda's ribcage.
TFC: why didn't you take a linux install with you?
I didn't think to at the time D:
TFC: i guess you just have to grit your teeth and bare it
Yup :c
Thanks for your help, guys
anybody using any kind of antivirus here ?
alocer: Unnecessary.
alocer, why would they?
i need to check my window$ viruses :P
alocer: Try clamav (is in the repos)
alocer, clamav or f-prot
can i trust it ?
clamav
actually stick with clamav
alocer: you never can trust any antivir-sofrtware (snakeoil)
cool tnx
tnx llutz
alocer, yeah anti-virus makes more money if you get infected
go with clamav
Hello, I've dist-upgraded to quantal, and now I cannot suspend to ram. My power button does nothing and I have no suspend option in the menu. Suggestions ? Thank you :)
 i m scanning my external storage and 30% has gone till now . threats found : 45 :P
GabrieleV, I'm thinking something in your power management setting maybe?
hi
hello. is there away to map private ssh key to the system user?
alocer, you use IE on that windows box?
in particual case i need that for jenkins user so that i could setup authentication to bitbucket.
yes :-s
OpenSorce, , the only thing I can find is the option "when lid is closed", but there suspend is greyed out :-(
alocer: once scanned a drive that had 1500 different pieces of malware on it. consider yourself lucky on that one :P
I want to disable reverse DNS in apache2.
alocer, the single most dangerous thing you can ever do on a computer is connect to the internet with any program made by Microsoft.
dsprc: lol
OpenSorce: :clap:
alocer, or any other closed source program
GabrieleV, that seems to be a known bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1067380
haha..
thanks all
OpenSorce, ok, let me see ...
Thanks ubottu for stating the obvious
OpenSorce, this is not my case: "sudo pm-suspend" works for me, but I can't suspend from the gui ...
GabrieleV: Are D-Bus and ConsoleKit installed and working properly? Try: sudo dpkg-configure -a
GabrieleV, hmmm.... so it works it's just not showing up on the gui and it's greyed out in power management
theadmin, you mean "dpkg-reconfigure -a" ?
OpenSorce, yes
GabrieleV: Heck no, that'll take ages
GabrieleV: lol, "configure", in case some packages are unconfigured it'll fix that
GabrieleV: Cause I had a person here that has somehow been left with a de-configured dbus after the upgrade
theadmin, sudo dpkg-configure -a replies with dpkg-configure: command not found
Err... not "dpkg-configure", my bad... sudo dpkg --configure -a
theadmin, let's try ...
GabrieleV: ^
theadmin, no complains from sudo dpkg --configure -a. Everything ok
Now what did I come in here for? Oh right! Is Plymouth with proprietary video drivers just a hit and miss kinda thing?
GabrieleV: Hm... Any output at all?
theadmin, nothing at all ...
GabrieleV: Damn, then it's not the same problem :( Sorry, can't help
theadmin, thank you :)
GabrieleV: if it is any consolation I think I have the same issue
Where is the option to choose the power button action (poweroff, suspend, hibernate ...) ?
AlanBell, whe have to find a solution :)
oh, similar issue. my power button asks me what to do, but the suspend option does nothing. System menu suspend works fine though.
Now I know why I decided to stick to LTS...
</offtopic>
AlanBell, that's a step beyond mine. Where do you choose the power button behaviour ?
I want to disable reverse DNS in apache2.
ok so ive got failing memtests, however, each individual memory card fails on its own, in diffrent slots.. is it normal to have 4 memory card fail memory tests?
brady: More like your memtest image has failed to burn
hi there. i have the problem when executing "system(NULL)" or any other command, my thread hangs but does not execute the command. (ubuntu 12.04). any suggestions why?
what do you mean by that?
I am not able to disable reverse dns in apache any idea?
brady: I mean that your memtest86+ image is damaged somehow, so it gives wrong results. Happens sometimes.
Guest41711: Try #httpd, they'll be of more help
GabrieleV: in dconf-editor in org/gnome/settings-daemon/plugins/power there are some things to tweak (carefully)
it runs for 10 minutes before failure.. could that be caused by a bad hard drive?
GabrieleV,  what version of ubuntu are you using?
AlanBell: GabrieleV: will this one help ? https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Systemd#ACPI_power_management
how can i locate the brother printer driverr, it did't tell me where it was installing it?
brady: Hmmm... Not too into hardware, but I doubt that
brady: ich code c++. i use the command "system(NULL)" which should just execute nothing
newgen:  huh?
meant0m, Quantal 12.10
brady: but since it does not seem to be a c++ problem, I have to assume that its OS related...
chull: Why do you need to "locate" it? Modules get installed into /lib/modules/<kernel version>
alocer, AlanBell in dconf button-power=suspend
 == Cannot send to channel: #httpd
brady, ops, i think you talked to someone else
GabrieleV, are you using unity destop, if so just click on dash home at the top left of the screen and type in power
meant0m, this is the setings/power menu. I have no option to choose the power button action here :-(
meant0m: nope its not working
GabrieleV: dconf working
GabrieleV: yeah, mine was set to interactive
GabrieleV: after selecting suspend it was warning me about a chromium download in progress, I choose suspend anyway, and it doesn't
newgen: http://linux.die.net/man/3/system using suid? could be there's something funny going on in /bin/bash too...
AlanBell, this may be correct. Even if i have vlc playing, it forbid suspend

eh, /bin/dash

mplayer gui isnt able to go forward when playing a movie, almost apepars like freezing, can anyone reproduce?

[15:36] <cullingworth> hi [15:36] == Cannot send to channel: #httpd
simplew, i have the same problem. but when i go backward, it starts running again
newgen: maybe. just wrote a minimal test, and no, it's not hanging here.
newgen: so this is in fact a problem in mplayer, needs to be reported
i am getting error Cannot send to channel: #httpd
GabrieleV, try sudo apt-get install dconf-tools
Guest41711: I told you to register.
you are not registered and identified as required by #httpd
Guest41711: I suggest you register
mar77i, i have the main program running and a thread, which starts something like system("nmap..."). but since nmap requires root, i need suid
newgen: this works here. http://paste.ubuntu.com/1334405
meant0m, dconf-tools is already the newest version.
newgen: you said you were using system(NULL) << with NULL as argument.
mar77i, i can confirm: your sample runs on my system
mar77i, even with sudo
GabrieleV, so what happens what you type dconf-editor in the terminal, under settigns-daemon->plugins->power
I have registered
newgen: also, the manpage states "Do not use system() from a program with [suid]..." not "...to call a..."
 /msg nickserve myname mypassword
oops
 /msg nickserv myname mypassword
bah screw it
mar77i, I have read this. but up to 1 month ago, it worked without a fuzz. so I did not worry about it
really you should /msg nickserv help
Guest41711: no, you haven't because you are a guest still. when you are registered you will have a real name and /whois yourname will show you an account name

Ok, so, the bzr-explorer plugin provides a "bzr new" command which allows to easily set up a feature branch style repository. I was wondering how to do it without the plugin around (since bzr-explorer also pulls in the, well, explorer app which is a GUI thing)
theadmin, i'im sorry, ive had this printer for months and can't get it to work with the printer, until now i asked brother help forhelp. if it's in the repositories can you show us where?
chull: Run "apt-cache search brother driver", see whether the one for your model is in that list and then sudo apt-get install it
mar77i, ok weird: when i run (without suid) a command like system("nmap -sV -O -A 192.168.0.11 -p- -oX ../nmap_scans/192.168.0.11_1352110312_nmap.xml"), it should return directly because of missing priviledges. but instead, it hangs for about 1 minute in some kind of loop and uses 100% cpu load
what's a good way to install a package on 12.04 if the software center is broken (greyed out button) and you don't have an internet connection, just the deb file on the desktop?
chull: You could also use the Additional Drivers tool that comes with Ubuntu (after plugging the device in)
Haunt_House: sudo dpkg -i ~/Desktop/myhamsters.deb
Haunt_House: Note that if the dependencies aren't satisfied the command will fail.
theadmin, i don'tknow about the additional drivers tool?
chull: Ok, what Ubuntu version are you on?
theadmin, 10.10
meant0m, the settings in org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power are correct. But everything about suspend and hibernate is greyed out in the gui
theadmin: stopping the network manager did the trick
thank you very much for your help
chull: Hm, bad luck -- it's no longer supported. You should upgrade, because... well. Nobody will help you if you're running an unsupported version
meant0m, maybe something dealing with polkit ?
Hey fellas, this gonna sound stupid.
theadmin: turned out, your advice is better

meant0m, changing org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power to interactive, asks me to *only* shutdown. So I think the problem is a sort of "my user cannot access suspend" problem
is anyone using gpuocelot? i couldn't get it to work with ubuntu 12.04 LTS
GabrieleV, if your root id imagine that you wouldnt have polkit issues
meant0m, I didn't understand
can anyone help me setup my bridge connection. I tried the configuration shared from the results of google search but it is always failing
The configuration says failed to bring up br0
I also tried the one on Ubuntu UEC
newgen: interesting. try gdb
hi this morning my ethernet connection is ultra slow, i cant connect directly to the router because the eth0 interface is intermittently going down, if i connect to a router it stays up but performing a speed test i notice that there;s a huge latency and upload speed is very slow
mar77i, ok, switched to execl. this now generates the error "Zeitnehmer zur Laufzeitbestimmung ist abgelaufen", what ever this means...
also in the console i notice the following message: type=1701 audit(1352110846.627:46): auid=4294967295 uid=1000 gid=1000 ses=4294967295 pid=5217 comm="chrome" reason="seccomp" sig=0 syscall=257 compat=0 ip=0x7f1358f9c710 code=0x50002
from dmesg
wireless is ok
newgen: prefix the command with LANG=C
mar77i, i am not familiar with gdb, but i have a printf before and after the system call and it hangs definitely on the system call...
mar77i, thanks
newgen: I'm interested, too, now. I want to know the error message in english, see my last post
mar77i, it's ignored.  "LANG=C ./test" -> same error. "export LANG=C; ./test" -> same error
...
can someone help me please?? http://serverfault.com/questions/445027/raid-card-event-notifications-email-to-gmail
GabrieleV, http://linuxexpresso.wordpress.com/2010/05/09/disable-suspend-and-hibernate-ubuntu/
newgen: you know what I think.
GabrieleV, gksudo gedit  /usr/share/polkit-1/actions/org.freedesktop.upower.policy
meant0m, let me see .. :)
mar77i, hm.. no not really :) environment messed up?
ubuntu. :)
hehe
GabrieleV, looks promising
does ubuntu support secure boot with a signed kernel yet?
newgen: are you prefixing "time" or something?
mar77i, no, nothing. just "./test"
maybe "system()" does something with time()
eh time(1)
the command
also, tried strace?
mar77i, I create the filename with a timestamp. but thats much sooner. and execl ist just called with a string...
hi. I need a help with cron. I have a bash script that cron refuses to execute. the scripts works well in gnome terminal...
Noriandir: prefix bash in crontab.
Noriandir: cron executes things with sh
iirc
Noriandir, or use the full path to your command
both, just to be sure :)
I'm currently using the full path. doenst work tho
i'll try executing it with bash
mar77i, translated error to "Profiling timer expired" -> It means that your thread received signal 27 (SIGPROF).  Before signals are delivered to the debuggee, they are sent by the kernel to the debugger.
newgen: you need to say what the script is exactly...
Noriandir: you need to say what the script is exactly...
newgen: ignore me :)
Noriandir, it the script executable? (chmod +x) ? Cron has other priviledges than you in the shell... maybe ownership problem
Repeat: Ok, so, the bzr-explorer plugin provides a "bzr new" command which allows to easily set up a feature branch style repository. I was wondering how to do it without the plugin around (since bzr-explorer also pulls in the, well, explorer app which is a GUI thing)
hello folks how ubuntu uses link local address on my windows box when i connect to isp it gives me two address one is public and other is link local. but on ubuntu link local address not get assign my isp uses ppp
how can configure link local address to my ubuntu
newgen, script is executable, ownership is not the problem
Noriandir, does cron write any message to /var/log/syslog ?
newgen, no idea. how do I know that? try to read the file?
jrib, i don't think its relevent to the case, but here it is: http://pastie.org/5188622
yes. use "cat" or "tail /var/log/syslog"
is anyone able to install google earth 7.x on precise 1204 64bit?
anybody know room for cloud-computing
newgen, here is the relevent text: Nov  5 10:35:01 yard CRON[20329]: (ciccio) CMD (bash /home/ciccio/Scripts/Simulazione/Simulate_NEW)
Noriandir: avoid things like "if [ -s "$HOME ..." in cronjobs. either use full absolute pathes or set explicitly the vars needed inside the script
newgen, it does seam to be executing it...
meant0m, Solved usding your link ! Many thanks !
theadmin, are you still here?
meant0m, Now I have issues with resuming locks up my gui ;)
I cant decide whether to use fglrx proprietory driver or stick with the open source, can anyone advice what would be the best choice for my ATI Radeon 6xxx?
Noriandir, yes. so it might hang inside the script, as llutz suggested
Linkandzelda, try open source if it's availalble , if it doesn't make you happy  then try the other
chull: Yes?
theadmin, 12.04
GabrieleV, glad to help!
ok, sorry, i have to catch my food and swim to work. cu
chull: Oh, uh. Okay, hit the "Dash home" button at the top left-ish, then type "Drivers" in, you should be able to find the tool
chull: Plug the device in first, though
Noriandir: are you sure this isn't a PATH issue?  PATH is not the same when cron runs scripts.  For example are you sure it can find this DrawYard command?  Start putting some debugging statements in your script if you are sure it is being executed
theadmin, i'll try that, thank you
jrib, no, $PATH isn't a issue here. i've put a $PATH variable in my crontab that is equal to the $PATH that bash uses
anyone
hello folks how ubuntu uses link local address on my windows box when i connect to isp it gives me two address one is public and other is link local. but on ubuntu link local address not get assign my isp uses ppp

hi
Noriandir: so start placing debugging statements in the script itself (output to some file)

sosoman: Stop spamming the channel
Hi! If I have made my network settings by using network management GUI, and I just want to use the same settings with a new server with no GUI. Is there a file, where is the network settings even if the settings have been made with network management gui? /etc/network/interfaces is empty.
theadmin: I think he's stopped )
spexi: /etc/NetworkManager/ (note the caps)
ach okay
thanks
spexi: Might be somewhere in user directories too, not sure
Just wondering, why the same file can't have those details, if the changes are made with gui or cli
while every guide on internet says /etc/network/interfaces when doing it with cli
who's want hangouts with me
no one
pleeeeeeeeeeease
sosoman: This is an ubuntu support channel only
oh sorry
but where is chating channel?
sosoman: #ubuntu-offtopic
#ubuntu-offtopic or perhaps #foreveralone sosoman
dr_willis: bwahaha
;
;)
how to prevent suphp local users from connecting to LDAP?
dr_willis: i dont know to who report that mplayer isnt playing movies
simplew: Did you install ubuntu-restricted-extras?
theadmin: that package isnt installed
can somone help me to troubleshoot system crashes and lockups which result in compiz/cairo dock and gnome-panel crashing? I also get no window borders after the crash and a lot of kernel memory errors. logs are tellin me that apps were killed due to not enough memory, but the system is caching like 14gb of my ram so i'm a bit stuck on what/how to stop it. thanks
simplew   tried different videos? look for error messages in the terminal to see whats going on?
dr_willis: yes
simplew: You should install it then, it contains some of the restricted codecs
dr_willis: theres no error messages, are you riunning quantak? can you tey reproduce?
theadmin: i should not, because other players play movies fine, except mplayer
simplew:  im on my phone right now. i tend to use vlc these days
simplew: Oh, hmmm
if I want to do proper screencasts with recordmydesktop, is it important to assign the apps to different cores?
simplew: What video output are you using with mplayer?
dr_willis: im just trying to report that maplyer fails, who can check the package?
hi, I want to run some windows xp vms on a headless server, how do I do this?
ak5: Well, VirtualBox has a headless interface, probably the simpliest solution...
theadmin: I was thinking of using qemu --enable kvm
ak5: That might work too. I'm not too familiar with virtualization
simplew: well i wont be home for like 10 hrs. so i can check tonight.
theadmin: great, so I can just RDP into those VMs?
simplew: Well you can file a bug report with "ubuntu-bug mplayer"
ak5: Suppose so
theadmin: is there a good linux rdp client
you would recommend?
ak5: I use Remmina myself
ssh and x forwarding may be simpiler ak5. but it depends on your needs
dr_willis: I want to install vnc on a vm of windows running on a headless ubuntu-server
dr_willis: already rebuild mplayer, made no difference
sounds like fun i want to watch
dr_willis: see this http://paste.ubuntu.com/1334501
umm... install a text browser in windows through ssh, download what you need
ftp the file over or use a shared folder or something
XRS1: you talking to me?
yup
If anyone is able to, here is a question I just posted with my problem detailed: http://askubuntu.com/questions/212138/system-crashes-lockups-compiz-cairo-gnome-panel-crashing-due-to-cached-ram-pl
XRS1: ok, I can't view windows so installing anything on it is out of the question, otherwise I would just install vnc directly and be done with the whole thing
what version of windows? cuz its a command based OS just like linux
hmm no u would prolly not be able to install and manually installing isnt worth it. might as well plug a screen in
XRS1: I don't have X installed
on the virtualization server
XRS1: Please be helpful. If you can't help, just don't talk.
well does windows already have remote assistance enabled?
XRS1: yes, RDP
Hi. What's the deal?
but I don't know if it's enabled
ak5: Well Windows RDP is enabled by default iirc
ak5: You've gotta make sure the user has a password though, can't RDP in without a password
theadmin: are you sure? don't you have to enable through the "remote assistance" wizard or whatever?
ak5: Pretty sure
you can accept through ssh right?
Ah, MS Windows? Isn't it offtopic here?
ak5: Might ask in ##windows
hi guys
theadmin: I guess th ebest way would be to setup virtualization on my lappy, configure qemu/kvm the same way, install everything I need on the vm then move the qcow2 image to the headless server
yeah stryker knows his stuff, just come back here for the buntu portions
ak5: That'd be a good idea
Wizard: not if you are virtualizing through ubuntu I hope
:P
theadmin: yeah I am just going to do it that way, thanks for your input
theadmin, y'know im only trying to help. isnt that what all the 'buntu installers ask us to do?
XRS1: Well, fair's fair, but please try to understand the problem :) Otherwise it just looks like you're trolling. No offense meant.
 do u guys knows, what happen if place a cd inside to cd rom isn't functioning?
Issac: old cd players might kill your cd
Really?
(we are talking 90s)
o_O
Wizard: yeah, I have had it happen :D
no is a new cd
Issac: player or CD
greetings. does anyone work with Python? thnx
which is new?
erm video cd
Duke_: #python ;)
Duke_: Everyone in #python does. Also a lot of Ubuntu apps are Python-based.
Duke_: I do, but you might want to try #python
Duke_: If you're developing for Ubuntu, #ubuntu-devel is a good place
I think you may ask here too.
dr_willis: the ptoblem is that mplyer gui is using VDPAU as default videoengine, and isnt able to locate it
simplew: what's the issue?
thnak you all :)
simplew:  you seem to have a vapdu error - which is a hardware acelleration feature for some chipsets. could be your drivers dont support it. or some other bug. perhaps disable vapdu
ak, Windows cannot load the device driver for this hardware. The driver may be corrupted or missing. (Code 3
is there someone using thunderzilla?
Issac: you should ask in #windows?
i dont know a lot about vpadu really.
Windows cannot load the device driver for this hardware. The driver may be corrupted or missing. (Code 39)
THERE IS NO windos channel here
Issac: There is ##windows
type /join ##windows
oh right
thank you
bbl.
dr_willis: like i said, mplayer uses vdpau as default, thats the issue, if i change it to xv for example it plays fine
simplew: echo "vo=xv" >> ~/.mplayerrc
ak5: already set it,
simplew: sorry, its .mplayer/config
simplew: so whats the issue?
pardon, anyone using Thunderbird and is an experienced ubuntu user? need to install an addon, just don't know if it works on this version
ak5: its already done, please go back and read
oh sorry
n1: Thunderbird won't let you install it if it doesn't work on your version
n1: So just go and try
Can someone tell me what cut-cdf means?
theadmin but one needs to install this one manually tried already, though am not so good in using terminal
*what it does actualy
n1: Huh? If it's an xpi file just open it with Thunderbird
n1: I'd be careful installing xpi files manually, could be malicious
Anyone here good with commands?
Evdb: lol
sudo make sandwich
haha ok very dumb question
But I actually just need to know what cut - cdc does
$What the options do
Evdb: tried man cut ?
Evdb: man cut

theadmin and Touhou11 when I try to download this package http://bluezync.kaarposoft.dk/0.1.6/download.html (the bottom link for thunderbird), firefox tries to install it as it's own addon and the message Is "not compatible with this version". also tried to install it with t.bitd's "thunderbrowse" addon, yet seems nothing happens
...also tried to install it with thunderbird's addon...
mah454,  sudo apt-get install alien
XRS1: ok
how come its taking like 30 seconds just to open apps, and its causing the system to lock up? i have nothing else going on >_>
swap in use? back disk?
bad*
XRS1: Ive always wondered if its a bad disc, but i dont know. I have like 7 gb free ram and 66mb of swap used
Salut
http://202.44.15.103/index.html
should 120GB partition be enough for WIN7 ?
http://202.44.15.103/index.html
if you suspect a bad disk use the manufacturer boot disk diagnostic thingy (like Seatools for DOS)
theadmin and Touhou11 can you just try to see if it works?
n1
Not on Ubuntu at the moment
can you help me with i want 1 account rdp ?

CrazyGangster, try using wavemon --  sudo apt-get install wavemon
could be a bad cable
CrazyGangster, wavemon is a ncurses-based monitor for wireless devices. It allows you to watch the signal and noise levels, packet statistics, device configuration, and network parameters of your wireless network hardware.
actually no either aq memory leak or id try memtest86+
Hello. I want screen-blanking completely off always. "xset s off" would work, but not sure into which config-file to put that in ubuntu as I no longer seem to have an xorg.conf. Forum post I found so far recommended using /etc/rc.local and /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc but none of those worked so far (still have to set it manually each time). Can someone recommend which config-file to put that in?
@ meant0m: i will try, thaks :)
*thanks
Hi all
CuteAlien:  theres a system wide xdg/autostart directioy you can put scripts in also.
dr_willis, thanks, I'll try that
or   .config/autostart for a single user
dr_willis, the /etc/xdg/autostart only seems to contain .desktop files. If I just put in a script with just that command (xset s off) - will that be enough?
scripts can work
what is the difference between shutdown now and shutdown -h now ( besides the "HALT" part at the end ) ?
be sure its executable
hi
I got a machine that shutdown -h now ok .. but not at shutdown now .. :/
_cronus_, hi
any way to see what actually fails ?
food, hello
hi
hello

is it possible to create a link to an application with  commandline parameters? I want to tell blender to open in a certain way

Afternoon all.
moo!
can someone point me to a good article for server migration from one box to another
xorred:  you mean you want to clone server a to server b?
yes
server a is going to the graveyeard
LAMP server
with a lot of mods, which can't just be recreated
clonezilla may be worth looking into if you want an exact image
well it's openvz vps so I can't really boot off a cd
Assuming you have both boxes running, I've had good experiences using CloneZilla in a small business environment.
people always bring up these details aftetwardfs... ;)
yep
I haven't fiddled with the configuration, but it was setup by a couple of diehard Windows users (with no Linux experience) on an Ubuntu box, so I think you're in the clear, xorred :)
dr_willis, putting into /etc/xdg/autostart also didn't do the trick. After reboot and 10 minutes waiting the blank screen is back. So xset s off wasn't called (or not called at the right moment)
lhavelund: it's openvz vps, I can't boot off a cd
xorred: I use network connectivity.
xorred: i.e. direct patch cable between the two machines. Theoretically, you could do the same over the internets methinks.
also using xset -dpms by the way, but the other one is sufficient when I manually type it into console
lhavelund: you know what openvz is, no?
xorred: Virtualization software.
lhavelund: you also know that a vps is usually used when the admin is on the other part of the world, otherwise I would not be using a vps at all?
Hm, maybe there is some script in ubuntu which counters it? Some xset s on somewhere which is called later?
How can I get bash_completion to work with ssh? It used to work, but now ubuntu uses hashed known_hosts file, so as far as I can see, bash_completion haven't been updated to work  with the new known_hosts format
I'm connected to my wireless router but I am unable to access the internet.  It shows connected(other laptops are connected as well and do have internet access) any ideas?
KrazyKrivda1: whats the output of ifconfig?
So. Anyone mind giving me some insight about Ubuntus nVidia drivers?
Thor: just for wlan0 right?
How do I edit a file via sudo? I tried sudo vi /etc/vsftpd.conf but I don't know how to edit the text
ikonia: Good Morning
KrazyKrivda1: should be enough
cuddylier, use either nanoe or if you're running a gui, gedit.
yoyo, i accidently made chmod 777 * -R in var folder.... what should i do?
Ah..nano
k
hola?
How do I exit sudo?
just type exit or quit
I mean vi
No idea. Just use the ctrl + x kill option
cuddylier, ESC, then shift
cuddylier, ESC, then shift*ZZ
Thanks

cuddylier, sorry - ESC key, then press hold shift and press 2 times Z
CuteAlien, That's a horrible complex way of killing a word processor XD
cuddylier, alternatively ESC and then type :q!
KrazyKrivda1: does ping 8.8.8.8 work?
thor: it seems to be working.. pinging 64 bytes from 8.8.8.8 repeatedly
Is there still a Netbook Edition of Ubuntu?  Because the latest I can see for my Eee PC model is 10.10.
z1gg3h, ESC is just to be sure to be in the "command" mode. The power of VI comes from knowing all the commands - then the cursors starts to follow your thinking :-)
KrazyKrivda1: ok, that means it got a link, does eg. host google.com return a few IPs?
thor: type host google.com in shell?
KrazyKrivda1: yes
connection timed out
Thor: no servers could be reached
KrazyKrivda1: does it use DHCP or static ip?
Thor: dhcp
dr_willis: the idea about .desktop is cool
How do I save a nano file once I'm finished editing?
cuddylier: Ctrl-O
Thank you tsimpson :)
KrazyKrivda1: cat /etc/resolv.conf
input/ouptut error?
Thor: ^^
what?
Thor: that file is empty?
dr_willis: worked very well. Now I'm all set to do screencasts. thank you very much
CuteAlien, Ah, fair enough. Quick question, do you know much about nVidia drivers and Ubuntu?
KrazyKrivda1: sudo dhclient -r
KrazyKrivda1: then sudo dhclient
rtnetlink answers: file exists
KrazyKrivda1: did you do -r first?
yes
try sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart
O/
Howdy Thor
can you share your lan internet as a wifi acess point on a  laptop?
howdy SubaruSVX
Thor: ok.. network interfaces reconfigured
KrazyKrivda1: check if DNS works now
z1gg3h, no - I clicked something to allow using proprietary stuff in the software update tool. And then I think typed nvidia in the finder and found it somehow like that (did that over a year ago... so no longer sure)
KrazyKrivda1: eg. with host google.com
Thor: still no luck.. why is resolv.conf empty.  what should be in there?
KrazyKrivda1: resolv.conf is autogenerated with the DNS server and search domain based on the DHCP response
I don't know why it's empty
CuteAlien, Ah, pretty straight forward then. I'm wrestling with demons in comparison. Every time I run an application in full screen (Wesnoth for example) the resolution goes haywire and completely berked. Gotta shift into tty1 and force a reboot.
KrazyKrivda1: have you tried rebooting the machine?
lucido: Yes, it should be a matter of simply creating a new wireless network, and enabling the "share with other ..." option for it, it should share the LAN automatically.
Thor: yes.. multiple times
z1gg3h, hm, fullscreen - didn't test much. Can do that later on (I'm testing some 3D stuff right now anyway)
but doesn't exactly sound like a driver problem to me
KrazyKrivda1: in a shell, type: nameserver 8.8.8.8
what could be wrong with my external USB hdd to cause it to stop my computer loading grub when its plugged in?
KrazyKrivda1: then try host google.com again
What's the command to install java 7, which would be for a minecraft server?
How do I logoff from Lubuntu via terminal?
CuteAlien, Sounds good.
arand, doesnt seem to be working that way
Thor: still nothing..
KrazyKrivda1: does it work with a cable?
Thor: unfourtunatley i do not believe i am able to test that
KrazyKrivda1: additionally, does it work on other wireless connections? is it a new installation?
KrazyKrivda1: and what version of Ubuntu?
https://dl.dropbox.com/u/19304992/printererror.png.  I installed 12.10 fresh and now I can't find any printers.  Any ideas on the error shown in the pic?
Thor: it works on no wireless connections.. and its a live versioon of ubuntu.  It was running last night and I ran some updates and now it is broken.. a fresh version of this live did work
KrazyKrivda1: live as on a cd or on a usb stick?
Thor: i have a persistent and non persisten live.. the non persistent is still working.. wihle the updates on the persisten is borking something
Thor: yes.. usb
can someone remind me of how to set up display resolutions by hand?
How do I install java 7, what's the command?
loadid: is the printer connected direct via usb
philinux: it's networked... i didn't realize cups wasn't installed
cuddylier, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java
I installed cups and it activated philinux
nice one
hi
loadid: I thought cups was always installed by default
Thor: any other ideas :-\
I would have assumed that.. I guess not in this case philinux
i'm having a spot of trouble with settings being lost after reboot. keyboard layout and password are those i've discovered so far
Is java 6 or 7 more efficient?
loadid: it is here odd
KrazyKrivda1: what kind of a wireless card is on the machine you are using? Did you run it on the same computer as it worked on yesterday?
it was a freash download of 12.10 64 philinux
Kubuntu 12.10 philinux
cuddylier, open your package manger and type java 7 , or  openjdk7. Install from there
Thor: i'm not sure hwo to check the card... but yes.. all same computer.. and it does work still if i run a fresh version of the live on this same PC
loadid: same here but not kubuntu. maybe kubuntu does not install it by default then eh?
hello... may I know what version of ubuntu desktop that can run in pentium 4, 256 mb ram?
BluesKaj I'm using ssh
rhineheart_m sounds like u were trying to do what i was trying to do all this last week
my android device doesnt see my ubuntu wifi ap but other devices do
rhineheart_m: lxde or xfce maybe
rhineheart_m: and i got the screenshots to prove it
i'm sure it wasn't intended philinux, maybe something that went wrong on my install
rhineheart_m: I tried to put ubuntu on http://imgur.com/OCs5x,I2O8x this
KrazyKrivda1: I would try set it up again and see if it happens again if you do the update
rhineheart_m: look at the second pic its 512 ram right
rhineheart_m: i can tell you it was so slow i went back to xp
cuddylier, then use your client pc package manager to find the proper name
Okay
Thor: this has been a repeating problem.. and not jsut from updates.. its seems this flakes out often.. i have re-setup this several times.. but it had been running well for the last week.. I had done many tweaks and woudl love to find what is going wrong instead of spending hours re-diong the setup
i seem to get the keyboard layout reset to en_US after reboot, anybody got an idea why that'd be? ubuntu server 12.04
rhineheart_m: lubuntu might run or check out peppermint OS
i just now setup apache2 the root directory permission is all for root:root how i can set this to my user so i can edit the html files
cuddylier: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-install-oracle-java-7-in-ubuntu-12-04.html
does anyone know how to fix my /etc/resolv.conf file? it is empty
KrazyKrivda1, are you using network manager
nameserver [addresshere]
BluesKaj: i believe so
gnnr: it wont let me make changes to the file.. it says input/output errors
KrazyKrivda1: nameserver 127.0.1.1 is all it needs
if it even needs that
KrazyKrivda1, type: ls -l /etc/resolv.conf
does it have any w in the first lines?
i/o errors? may be time to fsck the filesystem
like: -rw-r---r---
KrazyKrivda1, you can create a file  /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/tail and add entries there I believe.
KrazyKrivda1, /etc/resolv.conf is written to by  /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/head , that's where to place any nameservers and dns nameservers if you use them
BluesKaj's example works too, hope that helps
KrazyKrivda1, and just ignore the silly warning
i've had some problems using partclone dr_willis... after using partclone to restore my / partition i started getting lots of {drrty} errors, I/O errors and the fs would remount as ro causing lots of errros as programs opened and executed
How can I get bash_completion to work with ssh? It used to work, but now ubuntu uses hashed known_hosts file, so as far as I can see, bash_completion haven't been updated to work with the new known_hosts format
how to set permission so that i can access html files and edit them in /var/www
just some info for you to know dr_willis
gnnr, in  /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/head , yes it will , /etc/resolv.conf gets over written by the herad file
Hi folks, I'm using the ubuntu build for the nexus7 and I havent been able to network over usb. Is the usbnet module not part of the current 'ubuntu for nexus7' kernel?
I just installed phpmyadmin, although how do I make it so I can access it remotely? I currently get this page, http://198.15.69.170/phpmyadmin
baggers: what ubuntu build for nexus 7 ?
baggers: where did you get that ?
Thor: Works in zsh for me, I dunno anything about bash though
ikonia: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Nexus7
savio, sudo usermod -G www-data username then sudo chown www-data:www-data /var/www
BluesKaj: that file does not exist
theadmin: doesn't zsh have it's own completion thing similar to fish?
baggers: just having a little read as I'm not aware of this
gnnr: Bad idea, use usermod -aG
Thor: Nah, it depends on your configuration. I'm using oh-my-zsh, personally
screwsss: were you able to try peppermint OS as suggested? and lubuntu>
hi all
thx theadmin
savio: do not do that usermod command
ikonia: MS had it running at UDS
jrib, then ?
baggers: the page suggests #ubuntu-arm is the right channel
baggers: it looks like a pretty early development build,
ikonia: Its very early days, but I'm playing around with embedded lisp so its a nice platform for me
ikonia: yup, certainly is
philinux: yeah, that doesn't mean much to me considering how much it's about publity over stability
indeed
jrib, gnnr i previously set username:username to www i.e on my previous ubuntu installation
ikonia: very early days and just a demo
KrazyKrivda1, alt+f2 , gksudo gedit /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/head
savio: sorry, I don't have time right now.  I just caught that in the corner of my screen.  Others can help you
jrib, no problem
jr
ikonia: its definitely just for dev at the moment, but I'm still having plenty of fun with it. Just wondered if anyone knew much about netusb as I havent really messed with it before
ikonia: I'm getting the feeling i may have to do a kernel recompile to enable it though
BluesKaj: i can edit the file.. but really im creating a new 1?
KrazyKrivda1, no you're just editing ,save it after adding the nameserver(s)
BluesKaj: there is no file at that location now
How can I get ubuntu 12.04 live recognize parallel port?

I wanna program my microcontroller using parallel port and it does not recognize parallel port!
gnnr, thanks
how do I add a resolution to X that isn't there?
BluesKaj: I'm running a live version of ubuntu.. it's 11.10 i believe but not the full distr

i mean to say chown www-data:users
Hello everyone.
I have problem with Firefox 16.0.2
I use Kubuntu 12.10
KrazyKrivda1, ok I should have asked , my mistake ...live versions are difficult to setup if the networking doesn't work out of the box
KrazyKrivda1: add the ppdev module to the end of /etc/modules and reboot?
maybe can test with modprobe ppdev KrazyKrivda1?
finally I made it
and I can't set serbian locales in fiorefox.
KrazyKrivda1, why 11.10 anyway , why not 12.10?
irc.indonesianbacktrack.or.id
because the live isn't setup to run on the new 12.10
does anybody have an idea why my password is reset after reboot? i've tried changing it using sudo passwd.
burn one , KrazyKrivda1
hey. i installed mysql sevrer and client via apt-get and now i wanna start the server. how can i look up all my isntalled commands? :)

Isfirs_92, installed commands for mysql?
first yes, and then then general :/
-then
im not a total newby to ubuntu, but still need to learn some stuff
any ideas on a DVD player?  tried xine, vlp and movie player  using 12.10 on 7 year old HP laptop.  xine says i need decription
for sound should I use alsa or OSS
dickmc: vlc or gnome-mplayer
pls help :(
Led_Zeppelin: pulse autio
audio
i see
well Isfirs_92 you can try: man mysql
yay!
what is "man" doing?
i'll try gnome  vlp would bring up the menu but not play the videos on my Tai Chi disc
man displays all possible arguments, a description and other information about a given command
libdvdcss?
I'm having troubles with the ubuntu installer. It's telling me: "The network configuration was successful. However, no default route was set: the system does not know how to communicate with hosts on the Internet"
something is wrong with the dhcp process
can anyone help me with this?
gnnr thanks :)
mikael_: "sudo passwd" sets the password for the root user, not your user, just run "passwd" to change your password
loadid  where do i find libdvdcss?
the dhclient is actually getting a proper lease with all the options
it just doesn't set the default gateway I think
Isfirs_92, you can also tab complete in bash, so if you type my and hit tab twice it will give you possible commands
how can I check the network configuration during install in the shell?
tsimpson: ... *sigh* thanks :)
ah, that works too? nice
123
kreature, how many network cards in the system? is the patch cord(s) plugged in?
Isfirs_92: man = manual, it's the documentation for the programs you have installed... try "man (program name)"
compdoc: 1 network card, virtual machine, it's plugged in :)
tsimpson, you wouldn't happen to know why my keyboard layout is reset as well?
dickmc: google medibuntu
from sv_SE to en_US
 kreature, this is a virtual machine your having problems with?
can anyone tell me how to keep the changes I make to inotify watch count? it resets itself each bootup
yes
loadid  thx
I'm in the isntall process
just after network configuration
mikael_: I wouldn't, no. I've never had that issue
I've dropped to the shell to check some things
kreature, unless youve set up a bridge, then youre using the default virtual network?
which VM package do you use?
yes, I've attached the default network. The dhcp server is in the same network
how does one setup pulseaudio if he is using fluxbox instead of gnome. Is there a command to start it up?
compdoc: vCenter / VMware
oh
meh, i still cant conenct to server :( how can i see processes to look for mysql?
dont know vmware
I can't imagine it's the vm settings
KrazyKrivda1, ok as gnnr suggested , nameserver goes in /etc/resolv.conf in 11.10 ...it changes in 12.04 so be aware
I think it's a problem with dhcp config
somehow
does sound like the guest does not see the dhcp service
my client is receiving a proper lease with all the correct settings
it just doesn't seem to apply them somehow
which version of ubuntu is the guest?
BluesKaj, how does it change in 12.04?
10.04, lucid
phffft. old stuff
I know, but it should work :-)
gnnr, it goes to the  /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/head file which writes the /etc/resolv.conf ...convoluted I know but that's what the devs decided
Isfirs_92, ps ax | grep processnamehere
hi, I am building deb packages, is there a way I can specify minimum *distribution* requirement, i.e. the package require 12.04 or higher ?
How do I give the user 'minecraft' permission to do this? http://survival.spartanmc.net/multicraft/install.php
xrfang_: Implicit, by requiring packages only available on those distributions, maybe?
It needs permission to write to /var/www/multicraft/protected/runtime but how do I give it?
gustav__, ok, thanks, then I need to find what packages are guaranteed to exists on which distribution
xrfang_: Yep. That might be hard. Right?
xrfang_: Can't some install script use lsb_release and look for the correct distribution?
probably not too difficult, but I think it might not be reliable.
hm...
I'm not sure what actually denotes a specific distribution.
that's easier, thanks
lsb_release is the formal method, I think.
indeed.

how does one setup pulseaudio if he is using fluxbox instead of gnome. Is there a command to start it up?
or what is the command to setup pulseaudio?
how can I disable Alt key for the unity "command line"?
Led_Zeppelin, man pulseaudio
What parameters do I need for the init/kernel in grub to select integrated graphics instead of discrete?
gnnr, thanks
Pitel_IPEX:  i think the proper term is the unity 'hud' i recall seeing some tweak tools that could disable the hud. i think one was mentioned on omgubuntu or webupd8 blog sitr last week
My computer is Llano+nvidia, where the nvidia is for computation
EFI and grub shows correctly on integrated, but nothing after that does
How do I make /var/www/multicraft/protected/runtime writeable by the user 'minecraft'? I have looked through those permissions and just got more confused..
Led_Zeppelin, also pavucontrol can help with setting your audio card input and output options
cuddylier: You make sure the "minecraft" user owns it with "chown minecraft: /var/www/multicraft/protected/runtime"
cuddylier: Then make sure "owner" has write permission bits set using chmod
I don't have the user owner though blazemore
cuddylier: So chmod 644 would be owner read/write, world-read
in #als
Installed jr6 and and jr7 and icedtea plugin from the software center, yet I can't launch java applets(http://filebot.sourceforge.net/) from google chrome, why?
cuddylier: if you don't own it, you can't change permissions on it. Obviously.
I did chown minecraft: /var/www/multicraft/protected/runtime but same error
hello
blazemore http://198.15.69.170/multicraft/install.php
Chotaz:  does java work on other sites?
cuddylier: Otherwise the whole concept of security would be pointless. cuddylier root can do it
BluesKaj, thats exactly what I was looking for! thanks
cuddylier: try "sudo chown..."
Yeah, I made this use seperate users though which seems wrong..
good idea
kreature, which model of nic are you assigning to the guest? try e1000 or the realtek
compdoc: it's an e1000
dr_willis: thanks, I disabled the HUD in ubuntu tweak.
* dr_willis likes the hud
dr_willis, seems so, I can launch facebook games
it must be something in the dhcp settings, during install the dhclient-script might crash or something like that
blazemore I think the command worked as I'm using the root account currently but still same error :S
I'm reviewing the dhcpd configuration
Chotaz:  facebook uses java? thought it was flash
When I changed the file permission numbers it worked but I want to do that without changing those permissions
dr
dr_willis, my bad then
Led_Zeppelin,np, hope it works for you
dr_willis, http://www.java.com/en/download/testjava.jsp this does not work
BluesKaj, it does. thanks a lot.
Chotaz:  could be its wants the oracle java 7.
bbl
Led_Zeppelin, good
BluesKaj, i use fluxbox so I needed some help :p
kreature, seems there are issues with lucid and the e1000. they created an update for it
leds  I tried fluxbox on my old pc waaay back ..it was a nice desktop
try another
Led_Zeppelin,^
ok
its actually awesome
low CPU and RAM
compdoc: i'll try a more recent version
just curious, when I open up gnome-terminal does it load all gnome ? or just the ternimal?
Wouldn't recommend fluxbox, lacks a lot of basic features
kreature, no, I mean try another model of nic
Touhou11, like what? i like the basic features

Hello. I need help with remapping keys via xmodmap. Currently I can use only the right Alt-key to reach the 3rd symbol (like "{[]}]". I know that in theory it should be possible to set certain keys via xmodmap but it just doesn't work.
cuddylier: What is the actual error?
Led_Zeppelin: Compositing, user-friendly configuration
I also tried the options in the keyboard-preferences (there is one that changes the key for the 3rd symbol). But this does not do anything at all.
blazemore 'Application runtime path "/var/www/multicraft/protected/runtime" is not valid. Please make sure it is a directory writable by the Web server process.'
not sure what compositing means but sure.

so,how to install a new theme for unity with 12.10?
where can i find some
compdoc: where did you find info about this issue?
google
e1000 and 10.04?
hello all
i'm using ubuntu 12.10, how do i tell the gnome networkmanager (0.9) NOT to shut down the network devices, when the system goes into sleep mode? wake-on-lan won't work then...
so I have a quick question... everytime I startup the os (ubuntu 12.1) the screen brightness is reset to the brightest level. is there anyway to permanently lock it to the brightness of my choice?
i didnt meet this issue
so i cannot help u
hi, can i install ubuntu via the windows installer and still keep my windows partition?
use wubi or burn a cd
Michalegaozixu what is wubi?
wubi is the windows ubuntu installer
bye guys,go to sleep~
net_runner007 i have wubi up but it doesn't say anything about partitions
just says installation drive 429GB free
why does when i'm trying to run a .net application, it does not show up even I have already installed mono runtime
btw im using 12.10
net_runner007 this is the 12.04 installer...
net_runner007, what is your hardware?  Is it your monitor resetting?
anyone? :)
moondoggy, I'm running it on a fujitsu laptop. i don't think it's the monitor tho becuz the 'screen and lock' under 'system settings' is what is allways reset to the brightest level
Oh.  Are you always checking with the same power setup (always plugged in, or always not)?
driver problem
or power setup
chipotle, i don't know what to tell you. except that i highly recomend backing up all your important files like on an external harddrive before attempting any kind of harddrive partitioning
yes. usually allways plugged in
net_runner007 i'm asking if i can partition because i don't see any option to do that...
Usually always" is almost as good as "always."  :)
chipotle, generally you have to partition your harddrive first then when you run wubi it will give you the option where to install
How can I get bash_completion to work with ssh? It used to work, but now ubuntu uses hashed known_hosts file, so as far as I can see, bash_completion haven't been updated to work with the new known_hosts format
net_runner007, is this when you wake up the monitor, or do a reboot?
reboot only
net_runner007, Hmmm... I don't know where those settings are, then.  When you log in, does it go to your chosen brightness?
no never. when i log in it allways resets to maximum brightness which is irritating at best
Installed open JDK7 and icetea-7 plugin from the software center, however, I'm not being able to launch java applets from google chrome
what should I  d
o?
Oh, that is irritating.  I'm surprised that your other settings are not affected.
y use google chrome firefox is better
net_runner007, that's a matter of opinion, I don't like firefox hogging on my memory
blazemore The root user is
yeah it did the same thing with previous versions of ubuntu
anyone used btrfs ?
not me. not yet
Yes but not any of the cool features
How do I delete a directory by ssh?
rm -rf /path/to/it
-rf is Recursive and forced deletion, be ware on using it
^
it will be gone FOREVaH
toastcfh, just preventing because I had to recover a complete system after a really bad case of using "apt-get purge"
;x
so I'm being extra cautious on anything that involves deletion
+1
Got home higher than usual on weed, decided to play a game, had to remove the current version of wine that I'm using and wrote purge instead of removed

Anyone have a suggestion for a tool to maintain 4-5 admin accounts across 20 systems? Looking for something that will create accounts, add to groups, copy ssh key. Don't want a central auth system, rather something lightweight.

iceroot, I know I've been through all of it done, if ubuntu-desktop was the only packged that got removed...
 can somone tell me how to free up cached ram?
Linkandzelda: why?
Linkandzelda: http://www.linuxatemyram.com/
Linkandzelda: you dont want to free cached/buffered ram by yourself
iceroot: becuase my system caches 14gb of my ram, then performance becomes slow as it begins to use space
iceroot: thanks, i'll check that out
Linkandzelda: yes read that link, its not bad that the system is caching 14gb ram
Linkandzelda: maybe not usuall but its not a problem
iceroot: if you're sure, I know caching is a good thing but, I like to have fast performance lol
Where would mv protected ~/var  have moved the file? I've looked in the var folder and it's not there
I know this is very model/brand specific but can anyone help me get a Brother MFCJ415W multifunction work on Ubuntu 12.10?
cuddylier, is "protected" hidden?
It wasn't before I moved it
does anyone know how to get blacklight retribution running in ubuntu?
Chotaz I still don't see it in the var directory, it was never hidden before :(
Chotaz: 32 or 64 bit install
hey, where can i get the source packge for the ubuntu libc with the configure flags it was built with?
gandhijee_: apt-get source packagename

Hello, what is the name for keyboard preferances manager in GNOME?
so... XboxBurner... on ubuntu... anyone uses it?
not me
Carol28: http://sourceforge.net/projects/xboxburner/support
iceroot: ok disk cache is awesome, but how can I speed up uncached application loading? I tried the example with ubuntu software center and I first cleared the cache and loaded it, 30 seconds to open. then i closed and reopened it and it was almost instant. That tells me I need to improve disk loading speeds, right?
philinux, sorry, was out for a smoke, that'd be 64 bit
Ubuntu 12.10 boots up to a black screen on my dell latitude d610. Anyone else have this problem?
Most dell is having problems.... !!!
Most of dell laptop are having problems with Linux.... !!!
food: I hope they fix it.
spaceneedle, is there an EFI/UEFI setting in the bios for the display?
compdoc: no--I didn't see anything pertaining to uefi.
I wouldnt think so on a d610.
spaceneedle, Yeah, I heard they will work with Linux too.. The Nvidia also should be fixed (I loved the Linus video about nvidia)
The dell d610  is old--but it is a common business laptop and is very tough.
nomodeset didn't work for me.
He guys. When are you going to release a spice-xpi package? Compiling this the source of spice-xpi gives me head ache. Someone?
Hi there, am i correct in thinking the root user should not be allowed to login(if it does, it needs disabling (just the login bit) ?
spaceneedle, edit /etc/default/grub, and enable:    GRUB_GFXMODE=1024x768
AdvoWork, Use sudo , Disable network loging for root
food, is that just done in /etc/ssh/sshd_config or similar?
compdoc: I'l give it a try. Signing out.
how do i get around windows 8/lenovo's secure boot so i can install ubuntu?
food, i still want to be able to use root, but just stop it logging in as root
AdvoWork, i think root is not allowed ssh login in default installation
food, i've probably enabled it to be fair
AdvoWork, how you enabled it?
Hey, do you people know of anything like MIT OCW or Yale OYC?
I think it just needs  passwd -d
as root
god knows, was ages ago, but i can do ssh root@192..... and it lets me in with password
AdvoWork, rmuser root ssh
AdvoWork: also check in /etc/ssh/sshd_config if PermitRootLogin is enabled
_val_, thats enabled, so disable, do i need to restart anything?
AdvoWork: yes
service ssh restart
anyways, this is ironic, somone seeking for help is providing help ^
gustav__ i went to mit, what's your question?
He guys. When are you going to release a spice-xpi package? Compiling this the source of spice-xpi gives me head ache. Someone?
both are excellent
harvard/mit also just started edX
service ssh restart instead of /etc/init.d/ssh restart or same thing?
people, when i boot into my ubuntu instance the screen goes blank and login never shows up. When i select recovery mode this happens http://www.freeimagehosting.net/cqd27
is my hdd dying ?
AdvoWork: use serviceway
*service way*
why? out of interest
solofight, use the disk util to read the drive's SMART info. it will tell you if the drive is healthy
AdvoWork: man service
chipotle: I'll check out edX, well, I'm looking for material. I can't go to any of those schools, so. I like the Yale stuff because the tech stuff can get really boring. I like English/literary theory.
chipotle: the edX programming course is really good (MITx)
chipotle: A lot of the courses seem like only introductory. I want more advanced stuff.
I found a course in optimization, though, it was nice.
Damn lecturers seem so damn smug all the time tough, not so much with Yale.
what are the -uc and -us options for debuild mean? i am looking at debuilds man page but it doesn't seem to have that info...
anyone here use irssi for IRC? I'm wondering why, when I come back from /away I don't see messages I missed. Shouldn't it display those?
One professor kept repeating "these people are really immature" like a thousand times. That stuff just pisses me off.
wyclif: Check (status.)
I know this is very brand/model specific but can anyone help me get a Brother MFCJ415W multifunction to work in Ubuntu 12.10?
compdoc: well the os is not booting up. guess i need to use the live disk or boot into windows in the same disk
gandhijee_: those are passed to dpkg-buildpackage, -us is "Do not sign the source package." -uc is "Do not sign the .changes file."
gandhijee_: look in dpkg-buildpackage manpage
gustav__: you mean /check is the actual irssi option?
gustav__: the irssi homepage documentation isn't very good
solofight, in windows, you can install speedfan or hd tune to read the SMART info
wyclif: When go back from away, irssi lists all messages you got in the status window. That's ESC + 0.
gustav__: ok, thanks. I was toggling /away to leave and come back, but not seeing messages
wyclif: /SET awaylog_level MSGS HILIGHT     - Specifies what messages to log
wyclif: Can you see them now?
wyclif: also /SET awaylog_file ~/.irssi/away.log - Specifies the file to use
gustav__: nope
anybody is having problems with dropbox in this new version of ubuntu?
fego: thanks.
wyclif: np
edX looks like yesterday's school...eh. Hm.
I like the complete packages at OCW. "OCW Scholar" or what it's called.
The more videos the better. :)

on my system as root i used to do: su postgres  which works fine, now ive disabled root login and logged in as my user, i can still do it but have todo sudo su postgres  which works. Ive just made a new user, and try it with them and it says they arent a member of the sudoers file. Ive just looked in /etc/sudoers  and my user isnt in there either, so how come my user works but the new one ive made doesnt?
i still have an HUID, which gives me access to all of that

flexm: please stop playing with the bot
flexm: shred /dev/sdX
flexm, use dd
thanx
flexm: dd if=/dev/random of=/dev/your_device

b2b, /dev/urandom and bs=4M (or something) would be much faster
no prob

Not sure what to do with a syllabus but it might be interesting.
141 hasn't been taught yet
I see.

sometimes my ADSL Router just gets disconnected.But when I start the PC after 5 minutes then router starts too
b2b: /dev/random is a special file that serves as a random number generator, did you advice to fill his storage with junk random data?
20:02 < b2b> flexm: dd if=/dev/random of=/dev/your_device
fego: ah i see, you missed the question
I've installed Ubuntu on an older machine and read to check for restricted drivers. All the instructions I am finding say  "System Settings->Additional Drivers" but this option is not in my system settings. Where is it?
<flexm> Does anyone know how to clean wipe a disk?
b2b: does your command clean a hard disk ?
threefour: It's an app, search for it using the Dash
fego: yes
random is a little overkill for most cases
hey guys
ciao
Thanks theadmin i'll try that.
should it be /dev/zero
if i have two monitors connected and i wish to make a print-screen for the left monitor
only
fego: it totally erases everything on the hd.
or /dev/null
how do i do that? because regular print-screen catches my right monitor as well
ubuntu 12.04 lts
zero would be faster
theadmin it is not showing in the dash.
dr willis: yes but not as as physically good
I don't understand why I can go through several websites of instructions that say "Additional Drivers" should be in "System Settings" when it is clearly not on any of my Ubuntu installs.
threefour: Used to be. The app name is "jockey-gtk", you can start that from the terminal if you don't find it in the dash
threefour: 12.10 is a little different
anyone?
different than 12.04 in the system settings?
some studies (please dont ask me for source, frankly cant remember) have shown that data overwritten simply with /dev/zero can leave magnetic residues which enable forensic recovery of original data - or something
why take stuff away jeez
dash search for 'addational' may show it.
the recommendation back then was to use a/the random number generator
it showed it here i recall.
hello, in ubuntu 12.04 session-fallback mode (Gnome Classic WITH effects), a systray icon from my application isn't being shown. How can I show it ?
nelson777br: gsettings set com.canonical.Unity.Panel systray-whitelist "['all']"
theadmin: done that, didn't work
hm, probably because you're using another desktop
alt-win-rightclick won't work also,
you did log out and back in?
dr_willis: restarted
Hey, does anyone here have experience with remotely installing ubuntu on a server that is running freeNas?
nelson777br: what app is not showing?
A long shot I know but that is what I have to work with.
theadmin: didn't understand. another desktop ? I'm in Gnome Classic
just got this for my desktop http://smartlink.co.in/pDetails.aspx?PID=1&ID=6&PRODID=38 can i use it with ubuntu?? there is only support for windows
nelson777br: Yes, that's not the official desktop, if you look at the command you'll see it mentions Unity
theadmin: an application I developed. works in 10.04, unity, but now in Gnome Classic mode
heaven_: boot a live cd and see if it works
help?
.
dr_willis: i cant return it if opened
:|
dr_willis: I'm testing this in a clean 12.04 instalation in a virtual machine, do you really think this live cd test is necessary ?
heaven_, I wouldn't chance it then
just purchase one that does work with windows
theadmin: yes I know, but I need it to work in both modes
*linux
nelson777br: that was for heaven_  ;-)
dr_willis: ah ok... sorry
deper29: ok thanks
thanks
I thought maybe there are some fancy commands for this too :P
ive raely seen a pc that wouldent work with ubuntu. ;-)  some may just need more conviencing
ubuntu works on everything :D
it mainly boils down to what bugs you may encounter
damn i really needed wifi today :|
those dual video optimus seem to be the big issue these days
Can anyone recommend a good webvnc package?
heaven_: whats the chipset in it?
deanfx: tightvnc is popular these days
are there any tricks to installing ubuntu on a SSD? I see with arch they say you should do a partition alignment and osme other stuff. is that really necessary?
dr_willis: the CPU??
deper29: ubuntu did that for me.
Hi. Is there an easy way to set background images for terminals depending on what computer I'm logged in with in an ssh session in that tab?
dr_willis, oh, ubuntu takes care of it for me? So I can just boot a livecd and install?
heaven_: the wifi and video are the 2 imporntant chipsets to worry about
deper29: thats all i did at install.
deper29: then i tweaked the fstab later
dr_willis, okay, thanks. I'm probably going to give that a shot then since arch looks much more complex for this
I know this is very brand/model specific but can anyone help me get a Brother MFCJ415W multifunction to work in Ubuntu 12.10?
dr_willis: its a micro usb adapter
sdds are smarter these days and handle more of the details you had to worry about
Chotaz: did you check the Brother website? They provide Linux drivers
heaven_: thars not a  "video chipset" or "wireless chip" name... so im not sure what you mean.
hi guys...i'm running Ubuntu from a live usb, and I want to mount read/write a NTFS formatted external disk
hi
hi guys :D
i have fuse, ntfs-3g, i use mount -t ntfs-3g -w /dev/sdd1 /mount/path
mayhem93, is it a USB external disk?
and it doesn't work. i still can't write
it's a HDD
mayhem93, so it's an eSATA drive?
mayhem93: it's probably a permission issue
where can I find grub menu.lst in ubuntu 12.04
burtonium: grub2 is different
no it's not eSATA
burtonium, they don't have that in grub2
 its through usb
mayhem93, and it doesn't auto mount for you?
ty, didn't know that
baribal: you can change the background _color_  of an xterm like so: [ xterm --bgcolor gold ] i dont think images are supported.
mr_david, thanks for the tip, I just dont know what I should install http://welcome.solutions.brother.com/bsc/public_s/id/linux/en/download_prn.html#MFC-J415W
dr_willis: its a wireless micro USB adapter on which i cant find any details
b2b, I could try and use aterm for that (or one of probably a few others), but I could really use help with "How do I detect what server this tab is logged in?"
hi guys
Why Unity is slow????????
dr_willis: this is the link http://smartlink.co.in/data/products/DIGISOL/MUSTANG%20Series/downloads/DG-WN3150N%20Datasheet.pdf
?
i cant really read pdfs well on my phone.
damn
why unity is slow?????????
but how does it work?? can i get some knowledge??
deper29 it does when i plugged it in initially... didn't want to write
destination is ready only
Chucrute301: you have used up your quota of ?  marks for the day.
it auto mounts when plugging it initially
Baribal: ah i see. how good are shell skills
Chotaz: there are installation instructions on their site. it tells you exactly what to download and what commands to run to install
Chucrute301: check your video drivers
b2b, for d in * ; do ls -R $d | wc -l ; done > sizes.txt
i hate this ntfs-3g pile of garbage... always had problems with it
So, they do exist, but I'm no wizard.
Baribal: the information can be found in the shell environment variable SSH_CLIENT
so if aterm (i never used aterm, sorry) supports setting background color based on environment variable, then this might be a solution
dr_willis: can i know how this compatibility works??
you could use ansi color codes in the prompts also as a way to tell them apart Baribal
if no1 can help me....i might have to format it to ext3 :/
which is not desireable for me :(
what is the best desktop for ubuntu: kde, gnome, XCFE
dr_willis, good idea, one of these "Huh, how did this tree get into this forest?" ones. :)
heaven_: search for reviews of the thing and search fir linux compatibilty is all i can suggest
dr wills i messenged you
bobobobobobo, Depends on the user. If you ask such questions, you've just shown that only you can answer it. IMO. :)
Chucrute301: and there was no need to...
?
Baribal: ?
why would I pick KDE over gnome?
bobobobobobo, because you don't like gnome
Wizard, "?"? A little more context, please.
dr_willis: ok thanks
b
:)
You hilighted me.
dr_willis - good one, even better than messing with env vars :)
Ah, by acident, sorry, Baribal :)
mr_david, im trying to follow the websites instructions
Ah, "wizard" in connection to my shell skills. :D
mr_david, but it asks me to run aa-complain which i dont have
ciao
please no! lust
deper29, i solved it...nautilus was being a retarded kid
err list.. lol
mayhem93, oh?
what was it?
b'cuz i mounted it as root ...even though i ran nautilus as root before and tried copying it
dony: do you list every channel?
did you have write access in a terminal?
i guess he does
xD
it's ok now
i can write to it
Chotaz: which page are you looking at? I don't see that
i tried copying it in a bash terminal and it was ok
im going to start sending ubuntu torrent files to them. ;-)
mr_david, http://welcome.solutions.brother.com/bsc/public_s/id/linux/en/before.html pre-procedure(2)

Chotaz: install apparmor-utils: /usr/sbin/aa-complain

Chotaz: aptitude search aa-complain did not return any results so I ran apt-file search aa-complain and it returned the above line

hey guys, i haven't used ubuntu for a while (OpenSUSE) and i need to know what is going on with rhythmbox.
is there a simple way for instance to install older kernel on 12.04 then one that is already shipped with it. My friend needs older kernel for some drivers to work corectly?
burtonium: there's a somewhat easy way... your friend needs to install ubuntu 10.04 and then upgrade it to be suitable. that is my advice
ok, i was thinking this way too, but had to ask if there is some another way, that i don't know about ;) thanks Blacklite_
you're welcome
mr_david, they say I should go with the CUPS driver if it enabled for my system, is that the case for Ubuntu 12.10?
Chotaz: is cupsd running on your system?
mr_david, ps ax | grep "cups"
Chotaz: ps auxww | grep cupsd
seems so
ok, then cups driver it is
where the heck are the admins??? this place is flooded
Blacklite_  you can ignore the quits and joins, depending on your client
i'm using qwebirc
huh, they tell me to go with the cups driver then whe I get to it's instalation guide they tell me to instal the LPR driver as well --0
on firefox
there no longer appears to be an option in ubuntu 12.10's gnome-terminal to deactivate "Alt-f" from calling down the menu... anyone know how to turn that off? (it interferes with common bash keystrokes)
MonkeyDu1t: do you know how to ignore quits and joins in irsii?
mr_david  /ignore +joins +parts +quits +modes +nicks
mr_david  /ignore #ubuntu  +joins +parts +quits +modes +nicks
MonkeyDu1t: thanks
MonkeyDu1t,  thanks that served me aswell
switching over to empathy
i was more elaborate! :)
MonkeyDust: i agree, the modes it a good entry ;)
mr_david, http://welcome.solutions.brother.com/bsc/public_s/id/linux/en/before.html#003 I've followed this step blindly it is not needed for my model, how can I undo it?
what IRC Client do you recommend
?
Blacklite: irssi ftw
Blacklite_: xchat is a popular gui client, irssi or weechat for cli.
isn't irssi for command line?
Blacklite_: yes. So?
i want one that integrates well with unity
Blacklite_  yes, in combination with screen, you can logout and leuve irc running
Blacklite_, yeah, I use irssi on my laptop and xchat on my desktop
leave*
Blacklite_: then it sounds like xchat is for you
should i use Quassel?
Blacklite_, install xchat along with xchat-indicator.
xchat it is
Blacklite_, xchat-indicator adds messaging menu, laucher, etc. support to xchat. Both are in USC.
ubottu: got it, so much better now
How do I  undo a sym link?
Blacklite_: personally, I prefer irssi + screen. Provides the most flexibility
Chotaz: rm -f on the symlink*
Chotaz: Just Delete it
how do i connect to freenode with xchat?
Blacklite_, select Freenode in the serverlist
oh i didn't see it there
Blacklite_, it should have an entry already, either for freenode or "ubuntu server" in the network list.
*derp!
no its alright
how can i download all the packages ?? so that i can use it for offline installation and browsing.
MonkeyDust: i am undertaking a project in which we are installing ubuntu in remote locations
where there is no internet available
hi, I just upgraded from 10.04 directly to the newest
and lost internet
so when I turn on the computer I have to go  sudo service network-manager start
to encourage computer education in rural and remote locations
how do I get internet on by default?
shomon: ?
fire_, sounds interesting.. how does that work?
shomon: what's  the type of your net connection ?
Blacklite_, eth0... what is your question
shomon: how does that work ?? means ?
that was the question
how do you encourage computer education in rural and remote locations?
it should do it automatically
Hi everyone, just joined in on freenode ! Good luck to me :D
woot
so do you want to come here and tell it that? ;)
hey enjoy yourself.. Onixs
where are you?
maybe i can.
OnOfff, I mean
thx you too
lol, no I have to go out now ;)
so how does this work can I have this on some client?
but how do I automate having internet on.. or what bit of ubuntu does that?
try rebooting, then your kernel should recognize it
mr_david, thanks!
 all the other times I've turned it on it didn't though
since I upgraded
mr_david, it works now =)
it's been like 2 weeks, but I'm tired of it and I have to do it for each user
screw this crap!!!! I'm Using Konversation!!
any one who can guide me ?
Blacklite_: just use irssi dude
good idea
~/quit
dammit
i want to connect to here
i want to connect to this channel on freenode with irssi
Blacklite_ /connect freenode.net
Blacklite_: /join #ubuntu
2:24 -!- Irssi: Looking up freenode.net 12:24 -!- Irssi: Connecting to freenode.net [5.9.244.117] port 6667 12:24 -!- Irssi: Unable to connect server freenode.net port 6667 [Connection            refused]2:24 -!- Irssi: Looking up freenode.net 12:24 -!- Irssi: Connecting to freenode.net [5.9.244.117] port 6667 12:24 -!- Irssi: Unable to connect server freenode.net port 6667 [Connection            refused]
thats the readout
if I purchase a solid state, is there a way to move my existing ubuntu install to the other drive without doing a re-install?
Blacklite_: oops, I meant /connect irc.freenode.net
Blacklite_: then /join #ubuntu
is there a flag or something to pass to debuild to make it only build for certain archs?
Hello everyone, I'm having a serious problem with an Acer Aspire S7. I installed a fresh copy of Ubuntu on a Acer Aspire S7 Ultrabook and deleted everything else. The machine is using UEFI but is capable of using Legacy BIOS too. Now when I boot it says "No bootable device found". The install went fine no errors. Any ideas as to why it won't boot up?
Chotaz: awesome, glad to hear it
CrusaderAD, I think you need to boot your livecd again and run boot repair
CrusaderAD: just try building up grub  using a live cd
how do I do that? from the terminal once I'm in the live cd?
update-grub in terminal, I think
CrusaderAD, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI
.
ton1c, update-grub only updates config files
thanks deper29 that link has some good info in it, I'll give it a shot
hi how can i configure baobab to use pcmanfm as file browser?
can I tunnel SSH through SSH?
hello, can someone help me with an upgrade from 12.04 to 12.10 which was successful but it fails to starts now
I have a putty ssh connection to a server which is good and stable, and a FileZilla SSH connection to the same server that keeps dropping after 10 seconds of inactivity
When starting using recovery mode I get a : timeout: killing '/sbin/modprobe/
and it just hangs
filezilla doesn't send Keep Alive commands and so the connection dies. how can I set the timeout to be higher ?
TPB_is_my_librar: it just uses your default application for directories afaict
jrib: i've just installed pcmanfm and it doesnt work, do i have to restart X ?
jrib: "There is no installed viewer capable of displaying the folder."
TPB_is_my_librar: right click on a directory and set the default app for it (maybe; I haven't actually ever tried this).  All I know is that baobab calls "g_app_info_get_default_for_type" to open a folder
jrib: the right-click thing isnt possible. How can i set the right g_app_info_get_default_for_type var ? is there a config file to do that ?
can't mount any jump drive on new 12-10... "adding read ACL...
jrib: i've tried right click on a dir on pcmanfm but there's nothing that let me associate it to a program (pcmanfm),  then i 've tried right click on the directory on baobab but the only thing i have is "Open Folder"
hi, I was upgrading my ubuntu, and  it didn't finished well
now when I try to reboot
TPB_is_my_librar: there is a file you can modify, but I forget it's location.  It's probably ~/.local/share/applications/mimeapps.list or the other .list file that I don't have on this computer and can't remember the name of
the graphic interface doesn't work really well
I can not see anything
I already tried to login in other terminat using ctrl + alt + F1
but it has some problems, I have not internet... also if I'm using the cable
jrib: i've found it
do you know how can I do to update the system or revert to the previous one?
jrib: it contains only: [Default Applications]\nx-scheme-handler/magnet=userapp-transmission-gtk-2ZN4LW.desktop\n\n
[Added Associations]\nx-scheme-handler/magnet=userapp-transmission-gtk-2ZN4LW.desktop;
panzon: there are some graphic cards like 550 that don't work.
dmarllery: do you know what can I do?
TPB_is_my_librar: you would need to add one :)
I would like to revert or do something in order to letme connect to internet and search some other solutions
TPB_is_my_librar: here's a line I have: inode/directory=file-roller.desktop;nautilus-folder-handler.desktop;userapp-feh-CNPJDU.desktop;
jrib: ok, i reinstalled pcmanfm and i noticed "open with" and used it to set the default file manager (pcmanfm) . it works . thanks
TPB_is_my_librar: ok :)
panzon: it's in the release notes.. no work-around yet.
Hello all. I'm having some issues with suspend.  After suspend doesn't work apport gives me some info, but I'm not sure where to take it from there...
sorry to be one of what I assume to be many people posting the same thing, but I just upgraded from 12.04 to 12.10 and I have two major problems.. first of all, the install broke my existing grub boot loader completely.   I can't seem to boot directly from bios regardless of which drive I set as top priority.. but luckily, I get a working grub menu if I manually choose my secondary hard drive with the 'pop up one time' boot 
The second major problem is that once I finally boot into ubuntu, it's excruciatingly slow to do anything with the UI
Dragging a window across the screen takes several seconds..
UICTamale: I'm not sure about the boot problem. For the lag, can you open a process monitor and see what is makign everything slow?
UICTamale: you can open a terminal and run top or htop for example, or a graphical one if you know you have one
sure
lightdm, X, and compiz are near the very top
I have an AMD firepro M8900 if that's any help
does it say cpu percentage? I doubt your gpu is lagging, but I'm betting your missing a driver or something that didn't rollover with your upgrade
I must say though, I had exceptional performance from the open-source ATI drivers in 12.04
UICTamale: I found this http://askubuntu.com/questions/204027/overheating-laptop-even-on-low-cpu-usage which may offer support with instlaling the fglrx drivers for amd
thank you
Any idea on the grub issue? Should I just try boot repair?
Is there some way to know for sure whether or not my hardware speakers on my laptop are dying, and some new change in Ubuntu hasn't just fucked up pulse, or whatever?
UICTamale: I'm not sure. You could try reinstlaling grub or something. It sounds like the MBR might be damaged somehow.
I'm always curious why this happens on upgrades
I don't understand why an upgrade has to change grub install settings
UICTamale: luck of the draw, I suppose. Some people just get really lucky with linux, others the complete opposite or in-between :/
UICTamale: I'm not sure if you can do this with the root partition mounted, but this page explains how to reinstall grub 2 with your live cd http://howtoubuntu.org/how-to-repairrestorereinstall-grub-2-with-a-ubuntu-live-cd/
I am in my own home folder, editing my own text file and for that I need super user privileges? Where is the justice?
It's the idea that when you're upgrading, you'll want to upgrade the settings too, that way you know that your config is valid for the update version of grub I'd suppose.
gits1225: your home directory could have had its permissions changed
kriskrop3: I thought I might end up having to do that.. I'm downloading a live image now.  The ironic thing is I didn't download the 12.10 image initially because I wanted to do the 'live upgrade' :)
kriskrop3: But that doesn't change the fact that the defaults are retarded
hello
Hi
UICTamale: well, thats why i said im not sure if you can do that with root partition mounted. You MIGHT (strongly emphasized) be able to just do it from a terminal within your Ubuntu install...
net split?
more like flood bots
gits1225: it should not be set like that by default, i have read,write and execute permissions on my home dir for my user (ls -al /home)
gits1225: and that should be default
well not here
Something may have changed the permissions, or he may have accidentally changed it himself.
gits1225: well its not hard to fix it, just do 'sudo chmod u+rwx /home/username'
thatll give you back your rights to your home dir
I'll have to wait for my sysadmin to come back
and hence the reason I am jollying on irc
gits1225: ah... you might also want to ask him why he did it in the first place then :3
nah, I asked him the last time when the exact same thing happened
He said, he didn't touch any file persmissions
Shouldn't he be able to see how it did? Logs and such?
* gits1225 In the mean time, grokking my head around tabs and spaces on emacs
did get changed*
back
gits1225: well, someone with a mind and soul is likely liable for changing home dir permissions. Tell him to check 'cat /var/log/messages | grep COMMAND=/bin/chmod '
will do
gits1225: I'm sorry, not /var/log/message, try /var/log/auth.log
hello community
im attempting to install proprietary graphic drivers
on the hp website i have 2 options when asked to select my model
hp compaq nw8440 base model mobile workstaion and hp compaq nw8440 mobile workstaion
i cant figure out which one to choose
whats the command in terminal to install a package already placed in a directory?
dpkg -i
i think
n1ntu: snoozie is right, if it's a .deb package
Hi hi - anyone willing to recommend a tool to grab a movie file's metadata in terminal? Things like duration and frame size?
I guess it's time to wipe to windows and see if my sound issues persist -sighs-
well it doesnt matter which model i choose, hp does not have proprietary drivers for linux
jilebedev: avconv? not too knowledgable on this subject
what do i do now?
actually is the "zipped" one (gz), and unpacked it, so there's the folder containing subfolders, so don't know whitch to use. is not .deb. should i rather unpack it and install via termianl?
...which
ati has a linux installer but my graphics chipset has been modified by hp
nintu, does it have files named MAKE or INSTALL?
jilebedev: with ffmpeg or avconv you could run 'avconv -i filename' and it would give you codec info
is there anyway at all to move the toolbar from the left hand side
is an older version of one program, so there's none in software centre
sillyme, are you talking about the unity launcher? if so, i suggest installing MyUnity, it has lots of options for configuring the launcher
n1ntu: Is it an archived file with the source code, maybe? where did you get the package? is it online so we can look at it?
darmok and jalad at tanagra
gotchan
kriskrop3 ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/thunderbird/releases/2.0.0.0/linux-i686/en-US/
where can i get myunuty

can some one help me out installing ubuntu 12.10 with 2nd hard disk, should i turn off UEFI or not
sillyme, its the shopping bag icon
sillyme: for 12.10 you can't, it wasn't ported to gsettings
i checked there and all i saw were stuff with other languages, kind of looks like mags
sillyme, did you type myunity into the search field? while being on the main page?
hi know where i can get are there updates for hitman2
i had setup encrypted private directory but i was not able to copy anything to ~/Private folder because of permission is set to readonly
but that's not case when i setep encrypted private directory some time ago
sillyme, you can also open the dash, top icon on the launcher or press super key, and type myunity there
is this normal
snoozie: myunity is not in 12.10 and wouldn't be able to move the launcher anyway
trism, ah i c, i havent tried 12.10.
sillyme, sorry to hve misled you
n1ntu: i've got class in a few minutes, but that looks like the source code for thunderbird 2.0. Untar the archive and there should be a README with instructions inside for compiling it.
thx kriskrop3
i tried both and it just shows stuf that looks like magazines and most want you to pay for them
sorry im so dumb
sillyme, sorry i dont think its possible to move the launcher
sillyme, the app i told you about is not available in 12.10
if i have the installation files in one folder, is there some gui to install it, or what's the command in terminal (there's txt file inside)
?
n1ntu, there is definately not a gui for that, im not experienced with installing source packages, sorry
xdcc send #93 370x [260M] [OJS] 571 HQ.mp4
if ~/Private directory is created with permission 500 then how can i write into that the wiki page is wrong https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EncryptedPrivateDirectory#Setup_Your_Encrypted_Private_Directory
does Ubuntu 12 have phone firmware flashing utility?

it doesnt start after install and nothing with dpkg-reconfigure slim
hi all
I was hoping someone can provide some insight. I installed the fglrx drivers from software sources after installing ubuntu. After the reboot, lightdm shows up but unity doesn't load! However xubuntu works great after installing fglrx. I am assuming this a unity problem and not a driver + xorg version conflict?
is there an Ubuntu on Nexus7 specific room?
snoozie and smooth-texan thx
I retract that question:)  #ubuntu-nexus7
Wrong factoid anyway
DJones: yeah, it's installed and running already.  just thought it might be nice to stay on top of how others are using it :)
too bad i got a toshiba thrive and not a nexus. :O
LarsN: I think somebody has also mentioned #ubuntu-arm as possible channel
if ~/Private directory is created with permission 500 then how can i write into that the wiki page is wrong https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EncryptedPrivateDirectory#Setup_Your_Encrypted_Private_Directory
DJones: yeah, the Ubuntu-Nexus7 is a symlink it appears.
to #ubuntu-arm
dr_willis: The Nexus isn't so expensive as to be completely wasteful to have two tablets :)
ubuntu minimal: slim doesnt start after install (on next boot) and with dpkg-reconfigure slim i got nothing.. anything i can do?
could someone help me get graphic drivers for hp compaq nw8440 mobile workstation
LarsN: but i have like 4 allready. ;-)
dr_willis: heh.
if ~/Private directory is created with permission 500 then how can i write into that the wiki page is wrong https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EncryptedPrivateDirectory#Setup_Your_Encrypted_Private_Directory
I'm hitting trouble installing Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS x86_64 on a machine.  It was previously installed, but the hard drive had to be replaced as it was failing.  I run through the installer, it copies files, but doesn't seem to let me progress past the "Where are you?" timezone screen.  Any ideas?
I'm trying to install ubuntu on an asus zenbook ux31a using wubi, but the boot fails. Apparently the mbr is mucked up
known issue?
i'm having a bug with firefox 16.0.2 on ubuntu; expecially with some youtube videos. The screen will stay black w/o any loading animation
dr_willis: I think I'll be buying the nexus 4 when it comes out (a week after my birthday) to replace my Mytouch 4g.  I gave my daughter my HP Touchpad running CM9
would love to see Ubuntu on that.
VlanX : Are you running flashblock or noscript?
DSrv: are these plugins? i don't think i'm running anything
just fresh install
if ~/Private directory is created with permission 500 then how can i write into that the wiki page is wrong https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EncryptedPrivateDirectory#Setup_Your_Encrypted_Private_Directory
just some youtube videos have issues?
was that a question?
Hi. Since upgrading to 12.10, a couple of weeks ago, I get spurious "keyrelease events" for modifiers, ie. my shift and ctrl keys don't work reliably if I keep holding them. For the longest time, I thought it was a hardware problem, but it happens with a couple of keyboards, including a Model M. Anyone got an idea what could be happening?
does anyone know gtk+ C here?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GGIsj46BnQU
Vlanx : Do you have flash installed?
hi can someone help me with slim login manager?
the topic for #gtk is "Im so [censored] rich ill go buy a new sailboat. Ill be back later some day. lovely." and there's like two people in there
[snake]: have you tried ##c ?
Pici, I'm pretty sure they hate me there :P but I'll try.
hi guys, is the tmp directory in ram by default?
yup im banned from ##c Pici
[snake]: Then maybe #freenode can suggest a better channel,  its not really related to #ubuntu.
[snake]: you should go to #gtk on GIMPnet
jrib, I'm to lazy to switch servers.
[snake]: that's fine.  Either way, this isn't the right channel
im googling my problem at ubuntuforums.org, wondering if i can add multiple sites to site:
Can I create a live DVD with Brasero? If so, how?
Hi all. Can some tell me if i can configure my slim login manager to start after boot. Cause it doesnt start by default.. Ubuntu minimal without other login manager
Vlanx : You need at least one of these two packages installed ubuntu-restricted-extras or flashplugin-installer
if ~/Private directory is created with permission 500 then how can i write into that the wiki page is wrong https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EncryptedPrivateDirectory#Setup_Your_Encrypted_Private_Directory
Vlanx : The easy way is to open a terminal and run this: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras flashplugin-installer
manolos: well the package include a /etc/init.d/slim package so I imagine so and I'd be surprised if it doesn't act that way by default.  Are you sure it's not some setting you have?
Vlanx : restart your browser after it finishes & it should work.
how big must my usb stick be to make a live usb of 12.10? 2GB didn't seem to be enough; unetbootin claimed it ran out of space
manolos: pastebin /etc/init.d/slim perhaps.  Also, what's in your /etc/X11/default-display-manager?  And do you boot with the "text" option?
no other setting. just fresh install and slim
inTheRain : If you're using the DVD image, at least 4GB.
DSrv: is there another image I can use+
?
when it boots i got only terminal and non graphical login. i have fluxbox installed
I have ubuntu 12.04 lts installed on my sony vaio vpceh25 on a dual boot with windows 7. Sometimes it gets stuck at the loading screen(one which is before login screen). I cannot do anything but restart. After, restart it boots successfully in basic graphics. Could this be a graphics card problem?
inTheRain: absolutely! What architecture, and are you shooting for server or desktop?
DSrv: 64 bit, desktop :)
Is this a bug in ubuntu?
when i try and run sudo apt-get update, it gets to reading package lists and then seems to crash with error E: Read error - read (5: Input/output error). ubuntu server 12.04
Silver26: your hd might be taking a crap. Is it mounted RO?
I dont think so no.
can you write to /var?
System seems solid otherwise.
I'm trying to get a luks home to mount on boot, but it doesn't work properly.  It says it's waiting for file systems to mount with the S and M options.  I press M, and only then does it prompt me for a luks password.
mr_david ya it appears i can
Can I create a live DVD with Brasero? If so, how?
Silver26: not sure then. you can try stracing the apt-get process for clues
inTheRain: 12.04 or 12.10?
could it be a source list issue? It seems to get thru the list just when its reading it craps out at the end of an update
hi, i search an easy way to sync two folders (for backup) from windows to linux, without needing a server, can someone suggest me an app?
hi. im back. well i saw logs and it says that cannot start x server. is it driver isue? i have nvidia
DSrv: 12.10, preferably
htrejhh: A simple way would be to use a dropbox folder
inTheRain: I only see one on the website. Did you check your hash after downloading?
Silver26: do you get the error when using aptitude instead of apt-get?
DJones: yes true, but both pc's are on the same network and it's 300GB
DJones: in fact i want to backup from windows to linux over network, without having to setup a server
htrejhh: dropbox isn't really practical then
DSrv: no, sadly not in the habit of doing that :P would the network installer option take up less space?
im googling my problem at ubuntuforums.org, wondering if i can add multiple sites to site:

I am trying to download software for linux and it offers the .exe for Windows but only source code for linux, what is that all about? I have no idea about how to compile software on linux.
ive downloaded the ati installer, but have not used it yet as i doubt it will work, it didnt in windows because i have a version thats been modified by hp
oh god my head hurts after those two posts.
are you a Windows 8 user? LOL
It would be nice to use an os where you don't have to think too much
JimmyJohnny, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingEasyHowTo
inTheRain: did you erase/format the USB stick first?
i am indeed a windows 8 user
i thought so, the comment gave it away. :)
i like it better than 7
less thinking right?
JimmyJohnny: except that my head hurt because of the stupid
#justsayin
windows 8 is a good fit for people who don't like to think too much. easy on the brain
you have no idea how to compile software on linux and are trying to downtalk a windows user!
and claiming they're stupid
wow
i have no words to describe the idiocy of that
well try, am i supposed to be a linux genius after first live boot?
htrejhh,  are you on the target linux pc ?
BluesKaj: yes
well, it requires more thinking
you should be able to handle it.
since it's oh so hard for me
DSrv: no, not this time. I seem to have ruined all the usb sticks I've reformatted. It's FAT32 and was empty, though
inTheRain: But yes, it should be much smaller. I've never tried network installations so I can't be of much help with it.
i know, thats why i got it, versus windows 8, not even installing that on my computer. if i wanted to snap and swipe all day I would just buy an ipad
except i use it with a mouse and keyboard ;)
linux definitely makes you think, probably more so than windows 7
what a debate? So better OS is the one, where you have to think more? What a stupid theory :D
and um
gnome has snapping
and has for a while
aero snap is probably the most wonderful feature ever invented
burtonium, i never said windows 7 or windows 8 was "better", i said windows 8 is for people who don't like to think too much
* dr_willis goes back to cp/m
or you know
they use real programs
for...real work
but, i digress
Jimmy: not really, it's the system where you have to think much more actually, if you want to keep it safe ;)
geez,  i love how everybody re-interprets what I actually say. :)
then maybe it's how you say it?
hi. can i make synaptic automatically "completely remove" all packages? when dependencies are automatically removed, i don't want to keep their config stuff.
burtonium yeah, ummm okay. :)
jimmy: uhmm, oh, you sound like biggest noob here ;)
i'm trying to resize sda1 using gparted, but it's after my sd2 (extended) and sda5 (swap). how should i do this? http://i.imgur.com/1a1Wq.png
htrejhh, then set up the folder in windows to share and you should be able to use the networking with ssh (sftp) in nautilus to access the windows folder and place in places in nautilus..not sure about rsync with windows
burtonium i am, you are quick, i wont try to fool you again. :) first day I installed KUbuntu, couldnt get that past you huh?
NotreDev:  so your partitions are 'out of order' ?
linux noob moonlighting as a linux snob
rather amusing
dr_willis: yep. i'm using the livedcd
s/livedcd/livecd/
BluesKaj: yes, it's already a share, but i want something i would run once in a while to sync the new files to my backup
can some one help me out installing ubuntu 12.10 with 2nd hard disk on my Ultrabook, should i turn off UEFI or not?
htrejhh, maybe rsync will work
all the online articles assume i have competency using gparted; that i don't have :(
SoulShadow a linux snob...does anybody else follow this guys logic? i just stated to everyone I just installed it today...how am I pretending be a linux snob?
Jimmy: you are using kubuntu one day and you already say to other people, that win 8 is for those, who are not willing to think ;) geez
BluesKaj: ok thanks, i'll have a look
burtonium: he sounds like a fake linux snob, no?
NotreDev:  you will have to shrink the extended, to get the free space out of it into 'unalocated' space, then perhaps move it to get the unlalocated space next to sda1, then expand sda1
I don't really care if he is snob or not, I am just saying that his statment is stupid, that's all. I am not even saying he is stupid ;) just his statement ;)
burtonium windows 8 is moms and pops, teenage girls who wants to browse facebook, and youtube addicts basically. sorry you got so offended at my opinion. you wanna eat my heart for lunch. geez. :)
inTheRain: If you're running Ubuntu of some form on another machine, try running the Disk Utility, palimpsest is the command name.  See if there's other partitions on it. If so, create a new MSDOS partition.  If you're on Windows, run 'diskmgr.msc' and see if there's multiple partitions on it (for example, S3's iso9960 [CDFS] partition).
sciema
JimmyJohnny: and gamers, and people who use adobe products or work in the graphic design industry
or make real money.
but, yeah.
you would think I stumbled into a windows 8 channel, day-um
siema
btw, flash works in linux just fine
jimmy: you are totally wrong. Ubuntu is for moms and dads and girls :) My GF is using it, simply because she used to pick up to many malware or viruses on win7 ;) Simple as that. Now she have no problems surfing the internet ;)
how the hell do you get malware on windows
you have to really try
NotreDev: You have to first move sda2 over to make room.
Can we please get back to Ubuntu support?
burtonium you seriously want to convince everybody here that linux is easier to use than Windows 8. thats hilarious. LOL.
is there a RtlSetProcessIsCritical equilevant to linux/ubuntu ?*
What is this process? What is vi? http://puu.sh/1mOsO
jimmy: I don't want to convince anyone anything. It is easier for everyday use, yes.
DSrv: i understand i need the logical blocks to precede/follow to resize, but i'm not sure how to "move" sda5 over
jimmy: but it depends what you use your computer for?
cuddylier: vi/vim is a command line text editor.
burtonium right, my point exactly, for everyday users, glad you finally understand me now
Pici How is it using 1 core?
Pici Is it safe to kill it?
burtonium, JimmyJohnny: can we please get back to Ubuntu support?  Feel free to continue your discussion in #ubuntu-offtopic
cuddylier: If you don't know why root has a vi session open, I'd say it is safe to kill it.
I was using vi earlier but not now, k
but after I installed ubuntu to my gf's laptop
she don't want to use windows anymore
got it! (i think)
burtonium probably more having to do with resistance to change than being easier than windows 8, has she tried windows 8, it was built for teenage girls to browse facebook
JimmyJohnny, burtonium: Can we please move this discussion out of #ubuntu?
ofc
but sda2 now has 482mb and sda5 has 481. why the wasted MB?
#ubuntu-offtopic if you want to continue.
ok thanks
can some one help me out installing ubuntu 12.10 with 2nd hard disk on my Ultrabook, should i turn off UEFI or not?
purvesh, after googling i find that to be a personal preference option
oops
http://i.imgur.com/2fH7F.png
snoozie thanks for the compile link, just don't understand why they want us to compile versus downloading the .exe
snoozie, so i could install with bios mod even ?
NotreDev: Right-click on sda2 and select Resize/Move. Simply drag the visual representation of sda2 to the right.  After that, you can issue a resize/move to sda1 and grab the right edge of it & make it as big as you like.  Since sda5 is inside sda2 it will take a long time.  If you have the RAM, open a terminal and run 'sudo swapoff' then delete sda5 & sda2, resize sda1 as desired & create a new sda2 by clicking Partition ==> New in the menu. Make it a Primary 
JimmyJohnny, the exe would be for windows or wine right?
sonnyjz, If i have 8gb ram then i have to set swap minimum 8gb right ?
DSrv: i think i've gotten that taken care of now - if you look at the new screenshot i inserted (http://i.imgur.com/2fH7F.png) i'm now baffled by wasted space having done this (but not applying changes)
purvesh, that is generally recommended, but then some people choose not to use a swap when they have that much ram
sonnzie, If i have 8gb ram then i have to set swap minimum 8gb right ?
perhaps this has to do with "block sizes"?
snoozie, no, I am running KUBuntu so I need to download the .exe for linux but it only offers source, I don't understand the reason for that
snoozie, ohk...
NotreDev: That can happen due to disk geometry mismatches. If you're that desperate for the extra 1MB, you might want to go get a bigger drive instead.
DSrv: more worried about doing something wrong, not a wasted MB ;)
NotreDev, the 1MB is perfectly safe
i applied the changes (relatively quick b/c i'm on livecd)
JimmyJohnny: how do you plan to instal .exe on kubuntu?
snoozie, so if i would not create swap if i have 8gb ram on my laptop why should waste 8gb on swap, it is not going to use even?
all the fault of mongo 2.2 requiring 3.3gb of db space (didn't see this control option in /etc/mongodb.conf
NotreDev: Possibly.
purvesh: running without swap, makes your system slower... just sayin'
purvesh, exactly my point, you would only need to have the swap if you plan to over tax your system resources
I have 2gb ram, and have set swap size to be 2gb. Is it ok?
NotreDev: That's why backups before you make changes are recommended. I've not had it fail though. Just hit the green checkmark to start the work.
ms_choudhary_200: yep ;). swap is part of your virtual memory
snoozie, so if i have 8gb ram how much should i allot swat size ?
DSrv: yep, rebooting now
zykotick9, how so? i dont see that slowing him down
lo
zykotick9:  ;) no swap here.. but thats because i repartioned a hdd when i added a sdd. and havent put it back yet
dr_willis: i'm gonna assume s/sdd/ssd/ ;)
ya, but is it ok to set swap size same as ram?
ms_choudhary_200: perfectly fine. wikipedia swap space
I'm hitting trouble installing Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS x86_64 on a machine.  It was previously installed, but the hard drive had to be replaced as it was failing.  I run through the installer, it copies files, but doesn't seem to let me progress past the "Where are you?" timezone screen.  I've tried with & without network access, with & without downloads enabled, with & without 3rd-party. Any ideas or brain farts?
snoozie: swap is extended memory on your harddrive afaik
darksquirrel: the "virtual memory" is only part of what swap is for ;)  i consider it's main point, offloading non-used stuff out of physical ram...  the "virtual memory" part, is very slow.
ms_choudhary if swap is the same size as RAM, it makes hibernation possible. Larger means you can use swap as well as hibernate.
darksquirrel, i know what swap is for, i dont see how it could slow a system down to not have a swap, as long as the amount of memory used doesnt go past what you have
DSrv:  i think the installer has a log file, or you can run it from a terminal to look for errors. i would also watch the dmesg and system logs as it installs
yay - /dev/sda1              15G  7.6G  6.1G  56% /
DSrv,  will it affect in anyways in performance?
being able to hibernate is very handy, so having swap the same as ram would be necessary for me
swap space is only used when you're requiring more memory than is in available to RAM
if you start using swap.. you will have a performance hit...
of course if you need swap  (use all your ram) and have no swap... welll thats not good
you only get a performance hit if the files you're using don't reside in RAM. when this happens, the OS "page out" to the swap space and "page in" the required data to RAM
ms_choudhary_200: I recommend to use at least 2X swap as RAM if you have the space. I use 4X max RAM (but them again I deal with VMs of actual physical machines).
dr_willis: Thanks, I'll check.
for mormal daily use here. with 8gb of ram. i dont recall ever needing swap
like dr_willis  says it would be bad to run out of ram and have no swap, but if your not going to use more than 5gigs of ram and have 8 i dont see a problem
what does rc stand for in the .xinitrc file
DSrv: Thats wasting space, since that rule is about 15 years old. Nowadays, 1.1x for swap vs. RAM is more than sufficient.
ResQue: Resource Configuration i believe
ResQue:  where exactly? in its name?
zykotick9: thanks a lot, i hate not knowing simple things like that, also helps me remember file names
dr_willis: i dont understand the question
Question: Our company is running Ubuntu 11.04 server to host a SOAP/WSLD interface to our Database.  (Running via PHP & Apache) we'd like to enable live push updates though.  In my reading Comet doesn't work too well with Apache, is this correct ?
snoozie: can you even install without assign swap space ? ...but you can try to swapoff and give it a try ;)
ResQue:  the way you asked i thought you ment a 'rc' command IN the file.. not the name
darksquirrel, yes you can install without a swap
dr_willis: oh no, perhaps i should have worded the question a little better
actually hasent .xinitrc been replaced by .xsession ?
snoozie: not in debain installer
snoozie: *debian
darksquirrel, ive done it in 9.04
snoozie: ok, left ubunty since gutsy lo
snoozie: ...hm when you can install without assigned swap space wherse the proplem ?
Does anyone here use OpenConnect for VPN access? I am trying to get it running on 12.04 and when setting up a Cisco AnyConnect VPN there is no option to use SecurID as suggested by older online manuals. I am not getting a password prompt when connecting like I expect but I am getting "the vpn connection failed because there were no valid vpn secrets", I have been going through this for over an hour now searching various resources. Thanks f
zykotick9, DSrv, dr_willis, snoozie, so what is final conclusion in my case, If i have laptop with 8gb ddr3 1600MHZ ram & i am going to install ubuntu 12.10 as a dual boot, should i need to create swat if yes then how much space i should assign 8gb swap or more ?
When i suspend Ubuntu and then turn on the panel oven (both on the same electrical circuit) my computer turns back on again. Same goes for a lamp I've got connected right next to the computer (although not every time in this case).
wkkw
purvesh: In case you want to use hibernation or suspend, you need 1.1x RAM for swap.
purvesh, use an 8GB swap if you want to be able to hibernate
purvesh:  if you want to use hibernate 8gb of swap. if not you can get by with less
purvesh: if you want to use hibernate it must be 8GB (and a little bit) BUT hibernate is disabled in ubuntu.. due to high failure rates.
bekks, yeah i am going to use hibernation
i never use hibernate.. so id do 4gb of swap
purvesh: Then you need swap. :)
purvesh:  assuming hibernate works...
dr_willis, would he need it for suspend as well
?
It looks like openconnect is a year old in ubuntus repos, maybe updating to latest version will fix
* zykotick9 likes the uptime "cheat" of pm-hibernate
snoozie: got 4GB(part onboard graphic card) and nearly mad 4GB swpspce
bekks, so i would need 9011mb of swap if i count like 1.1x*8192
whooo
snoozie: according to top/htop it uses it from time to time
darksquirrel, swappiness setting determines that
top and htop or using ps
hi I need little advice regarding ubuntu version for install
snoozie: tryed to opem mplayer 50 times and voilla
snoozie: open*
darksquirrel, try setting swappiness to 0, it'll only use swap if its necessary
dr_willis: I got a line in /var/log/syslog that says "ubiquity: grub-probe: error: cannot find a GRUB drive for /dev/sdb2. Check your device map." Is this causing it? Or is it the next line: "ubiquity[2991]: debconffilter_done: ubiquity.components.install (current: ubi-timezone)"
snoozie, is this method is perfect for UEFI ? http://www.linuxbsdos.com/2012/10/10/dual-boot-windows-7-and-ubuntu-12-04-on-a-pc-with-uefi-board-ssd-and-hdd/
single machine - but many virtuals on it - Xserver is required - should I use server or desktop version ? (64-bit)

my galaxy s2 is reconized with MTP but not the Nexus 7

is it wrong to run executables on linux...i need someone to explain why people offer only source downloads for linux but .exe's for windows of the same software?
JimmyJohnny: you should be using repositories to install software on Linux.  What are you trying to install?
JimmyJohnny: entirely different ecosystem, an exe is for windows
purvesh, im no expert on the topic (never had uefi system) i got those answers from googling
so no one have NExus 7 ??
ThinkT510 okay but what does the source code compile into? is it not an .exe?
snoozie, ok not an issue, thanks for helping !
JimmyJohnny: a binary, exe is just specific to windows
snoozie, :)
ThinkT510 why do people want me to compile source code on linux to run their software? its difficult if you have never done it before. i just tried KUbuntu today for the first time
snoozie, so now i have to do experiment with my new ultrabok ;)
purvesh, thats part of the fun of linux
JimmyJohnny: compiling is usually the last resort
snoozie, yeah !
could someone help me get graphic drivers for hp compaq nw8440 mobile workstation
snoozie: and the video chipset us?
is?
i installed them on windows and found that i had to use the ones from hp and not ati,
its a an ati firegl 5200
but seems that hp has modified it, and dont provide a linux version on their site
how do you view all users in ubuntu?
snoozie: ran the   'additional-drivers' tool yet?
dr_willis, yes and none are found
id say check askubuntu.com snoozie   they may know more on it. :-/
purvesh: Roundabout 9GB should be ok :)
bekks, ok thanks
dr_willis, ive been googling ubuntuforums for an hour, about to try ask now
askubuntu.com is getting a good answer base built up.. getting to be a lot of cruft also however. ;(
i find that sorting question/answers by 'votes' seems to work best
so i tried pm hibernate, and the system seemed to shutdown improperly but has booted back up just fine
all logged in users that is
you can find all users in /etc/passwd
purvesh, this may be of interest to you, http://pauljoyceuk.com/codex/2012/howto-make-ubuntu-12-04-hibernate-successfully/
snoozie, thanks let me see...
john_doe_jr: it might be wise to learn basic linux with a book or something
as these are not ubuntu specific questions
it will make your life a lot easier ;)
ciao
Anything fun happening in Ubuntu?
gustav__: always
No... how?
Where + what
gustav__: omgubuntu keep up with that sort of thing, shove it in your RSS reader
Hi  I'm a total noob at linux, and why I would chose ubuntu over kubuntu or vice versa.
Don't have an RSS reader.
i have just upgraded from 11.04 to 11.10. in a unity2d session, i can't f igure out how to change any settings at all
oxense: Kubuntu is more of the same.
oxense: depends which desktop you like
hello.
oxense: try both, see which you prefer
i wasa in a unity3d session, and i could then search for e.g. "display in the dash, but nothing appears when i search for that in unity2d
am i being stupid?
Just the appearance or the feel?
oxense: kubuntu is ubuntu with kde, if you dont know the difference it wont make a difference for you.  I suggest you do the regular ubuntu so you start out more in the norm
anyone know what plugins I need to get Rhythmbox to play soma.fm streams?
gustav__: you can install them, i believe thunderbird has one (if you use thunderbird)
oh, i have to search in applications
why do i hav eto do that
ActionParsnip: Not a great RSS interface i TB.
this is much harder to use than 11.04 was
also is the a "onenote" alternative for ubuntu?
gustav__: I use feedindicator, sits in the indicator and make a noise when new feeds arrive
*threre
tim`: you can drag commonly used apps to the unity bar or lock them once you run stuff
ActionParsnip: What indication? I'm on WindowMaker. I'm looking for a dock app. But my dock is full, so...
oxense: if you google onenote alternatives for linux you  might find something
windowmaker? how old school. ;)
Yeah, I like it, except when I have a lot of windows. Doesn't handle that very well.
Just shading windows is a lot of work.
LadyNikon: But the problem is that I want to use my old onenote documents and implement them, do you know any alternative that would make that possible?
oxense: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-1386750.html
I seem to have found a couple-a lot of bugs too.
oxense: what about running onenote in wine?
gustav__: or you can just check the site every few days, lots of news
Isn't wine buggy? Or does it run standard  applications well?
I'll put in a bookmark.
oxense: dunno I have crossover
oxense:  depends on the windows app
okok
you could try that as well.
oxense: all software is buggy
lol @ triggers
ActionParsnip: while i agree "all software has bugs" i wouldn't say "all software is buggy" ;)
bugs are often the best feayures
^ why i stopped doing software testing lol
ive been playing skyrim too much.. the bugs make it fun at times
dr_willis: I got to get to the "Any questions?" screen.  The progress bar at the bottom has reached the end of the "Copying installation logs..." step and it seems stuck there. Drive activity has stopped. The syslog ends with "finish-install: Disabling CD in sources.list" and then has 4 entries where the following 3 lines repeat: "acpid: client 2655[0:0] has disconnected" "acpid: client connected from 2655[0:0]" "acpid: 1 client rule loaded" "kernel: [timecode] 
USDK. That's nice.
DSrv:  how about dmesg output at the end?
If I start making money on programming I could actually buy an application some time.
Bastion looks super nice.
gustav__:  ;) its neat but a pain on some levels. ;)
dr_willis: How much is it?
Is it possible to install ubuntu on a USB flash drive and use that on a computer that has no HDD ?  I installed ubuntu using unetbootin (chosen ubuntu netinstall) but now I am at the point it is asking me which partition to choose. I am lost at that point
gustav__:  no idea. got it on steam ages ago.
Ah.
roychri:  yes. its possible to do a full install to usb
Hello I am having a few errors with unrealircd and it says to check the ircd.log but how?
i  have done a full install to a usb, from a second 'live' usb made with unetbootin
roychri: yes
roychri: if when you set it up you allowed it to create a persistence area then you should click the try ubuntu now button rather than the install ubuntu now button
dr_willis, If I booted using unetbootin netinstall, can I simply ask it to reformat the USB flash drive to install ubuntu on it?  Won't that prevent the install to work since that is the booting device?
then you can use it and your home directory will be persistent
adaminsull:  its a text file you can open/view/tail
How
I'm new to ubuntu
.
AlanBell: then I should choose the Live instead of NetInstall version
hi, I'm in Precise and my gnome-session-manager started using 100% CPU. I then killed it and after that my windows all looked messed up. To fix that I tried compiz --replace, but now the title bars of all my windows look really weird and have the close buttons etc of the right instead of the left
roychri:  note i said i used 2 flash drives. ;)
anyone who knows how to fix that?
a reboot doesn't help
dr_willis: right! Because using only one would not work for sure or because you did nopt want to risk it? :)
roychri: oh, right yes. Or do a netinstall to a separate USB, I doubt installing to the one you booted from would be a good plan!
roychri:  there is a 'toram' option..  but i have dozens of flash dreives
dr_willis: How?
Is there any good, complete, tutorial for creating an Ubuntu package?
dr_willis: The last 12 entries in dmesg are "[drm:drm_mode_getfb] *ERROR* invalid framebuffer id" before the first of those is "EXT4-fs (sda1): mounted filesystem with ordered data mode. Opts: errors=remount-ro" & "EXT4-fs (sda3): mounted filesystem with ordered data mode. Opts: (null)" What are your thoughts?
dr_willis: I will check the toram,  That looks promissing.
adaminsull:  a text editor or 'tail -f /path/to/file' is one way
ok
DSrv:  nothing seems very weird in those.. there may be an installer log file alaso in the useres home
I only have 768MB of RAM though.  Maybe toram requires more RAM than that
tail: cannot open `/root/Unreal3.2/ircd.log' for reading: No such file or directory
gustav__: debian new package maintainers guide... or cheat and use checkinstall
roychri:  quite a bit more i would bet
* roychri starts looking for a usb drive to use!
Bsims: Kinda have to use something that would be accepted to main.
gustav__: then follow the list here http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/maint-guide/
gustav__: its not very difficult if its a single binary
adaminsull:  sounds like you got the wrong path. or spelt it wrong
No I don't have the file
adaminsull: running an irc server as root isn't a great idea
Bsims: Can't get the sh-t to compile so never mind. -.-"
adaminsull:  why would it be in /root/ ?
gustav__: yeah I've ran into that myself on some programs
hello
gustav__: what program are you trying to build?
Bsims: qvwm.
im new to linux ubuntu
dr_willis: nope, not in root's either. Same is true of the installer file system.
gustav__: ah ok maybe check to see if there is a ppa with it already?
Bsims: True.
got some questions, where do i get some drivers for logitecg g15/mx400 and synaptics
ActionParsnip: It's not
gustav__: but in general its "dh_make --native" followed by "sudo dpkg-buildpackage"
adaminsull:  so why would the log  be in /root/ ?
_Ika_Musume_: did you try installing gpointing-device-settings
I dunno
I did it under ircd user
no clue lol im new to this, i wanna get rid of windows
sudo apt-get install gpointing-device-settings
adaminsull:  then it may be in that useres home, or in /var/log/
ok
i added /usr/bin/teamviewer7 to startup but it does not startup
i am guessing because from command line i have to sudo it
how do you run things as root in startup
do i need to reboot in order to get them loaded like in windows ?
adaminsull:  you may want to readup/learn some more linux basics skills befor jumping into running an irc server ;)
dr_willis: I'm ok running it once up
lizardbrain:  use the command 'gksudo commandname'
teamviewer running as root seems... scary
"*** No rule to make target `def16.ani'," <- What should compile .ani?
_Ika_Musume_: Alt+SysRq+k will reboot the x server
I'm in Precise and my gnome-session-manager started using 100% CPU. I then killed it and after that my windows all looked messed up. To fix that I tried compiz --replace, but now the title bars of all my windows look really weird and have the close buttons etc of the right instead of the left. Rebooting doesn't help. Does anyone know what to do?
_Ika_Musume_: in general if its supported its automatic, you may need to manualy load the drivers aka kernel modules
adaminsull: seems weird to be using /root for log files.
Bsims: It's an X driver
I know
sbte: if you make a fresh user, is it the same?
sbte:  see if a newly made user has the same issues
;)
J4M: Ah
but
gpointing-device-settings is just a gui tool that might do what he wants
im just going to add it to /etc/rc.local
_Ika_Musume_: For the touchpad: 'sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-input-synaptics' For the keyboard, it should work fine, I don't know about the gee-wizzardry buttons, however you can map them to trigger events in the window manager.
lizardbrain:  that wont work for x gui apps...
He'll need to install xf86-input-synaptics and load it with X
(facepalm)
DSrv: would that automatically load the driver when X restarts? or does xorg still need to be edited
hmm
dr_willis: nope, not in root's either. Same is true of the installer file system.
ActionParsnip, dr_willis, no, it's fixed in a clean account
lizardbrain:  .config/autostart is normal place for such things
sbte: then you know its your settings, not the app itself
DSrv:  im out of ideas.
J4M:  I beleve it will autoload it
cool
J4M: I've never had any problem getting it to work for me.  A reboot maybe...
ActionParsnip, well, yes, because it's all windows, and I didn't change anything to unity or compiz itself
question is what setting
unity --reset doesn't help either
sbte:  i often just reset them all ;)
One thing I always have to change back is reenable the xserver restart key
i just make a file in that folder dr_willis?
lizardbrain:  a .desktop launcher. or link, or shell script
echo /usr/bin/teamviewer7 > .config/autostart/tv
dr_willis, how?
sbte:  make a Backupconfigs dir.. move all your .* dirs to it. is the extreme reset
but most likely only a few need to be moved
dr_willis, well, yes, that's the ultimate solution, but I thought that maybe there was some nice way to reset all window manager related configs
sbte:  ubuntu-tweak used to have a tool for it
sbte:  webupd8 blog site had a guide on resetting also
i'm really not enjoying 11.10 :(
(inb4 "upgrade then")
how can I keep ubuntu live CD 12.10 from switching to the secondary VGA port which has no Display resulting in a black screen ?
deedee: is this a laptop?
yes its an acer laptop
dr_willis: echo "#!/bin/sh\n/usr/bin/teamviewer7" > .config/autostart/tv; does not work
deedee: is there a shortcut to switch output between screen and vga?
yes , but it doesnot work
lizardbrain: you need a full .desktop file if you are using ~/.config/autostart
Aren't Acer products known for being finicky?
deedee: tried disconnecting the screen during the install?
lizardbrain: the files in ~/.config/autostart are not bash scripts
re all
its a laptop i cannot disconnect the screen
dr_willis: nope, not in root's either. Same is true of the installer file system.  I'm just going to cross my fingers & reboot.
lizardbrain: just use the startup manager gui app
i try to build from sources last gcc (4.2) on my ubuntu 4.10 (2.6.8 kernel) - this is good idea or not?
gunjubas: ubuntu 4.10.........
) but work more faster that other on my machine
jrib does the gui app allow me to run it as root?
lizardbrain: no
then it is of no use
i want to compile last version of kernel...just for fun
gunjubas: not going to happen
gunjubas: that is 6 years dead, no more support for Warty
lizardbrain: it's just a way to interact with ~/.config/autostart/ . What are you trying to accomplish exactly?
:)
i need to run teamviewer7 on startup
as root
dr_willis: JACKPOT!! Thanks! :-D
lizardbrain - create startup string in rc.local
anyone know how to (by ubuntu terminal) see the text, or maybe find the text on a website?
gunjubas can't run gui apps from rc.local tried that
lizardbrain: if you add a small sleep (gives the X server time to start) in the script  and add to to /etc/rc.local but backgrounded, it should work
lizardbrain: why does it need to run as root?
marcus_: you need a web brower like links or elinks or lynx
Hello there. I'm seeing some weird behaviour from my ubuntu machine. I'm running a nodejs script, and at somepoint it just decides that it cant access the folder from where it was started. My shell can list files in there and the like, but the nodejs script gets the path "(unreachable)", can anyone explain this to me?
web browser inside terminal ?
ActionParsnip not sure i never wrote the app but i tried as normal user doesnt work
marcus_ lynx
marcus_ - yes. apt-get install lynx
nwillems: how are you running node.js ?
okk thx
its a laptop i cannot disconnect the screen
marcus_: personally, i'd suggest links2 or elinks, over lynx myself
lizardbrain: try the adding the sleep in the script then background the script in /etc/rc.local by adding an ampersand. The boot will continue but the script's sleep command will keep running then when X loads, the command can run
lizardbrain: what are you using teamviewer to achieve?
ActionParsnip remote desktop
lizardbrain - maby x11 - better?
lizardbrain: what will you be doing on the remote system though
how can I keep ubuntu live CD 12.10 from switching to the secondary VGA port which has no Display resulting in a black screen ?
lizardbrain (i mean x11vnc)
I have SSH access to the machine and then in byoubo, so from the terminal. With the following command "node scripts/soeren.js ..."
my boss will be using the browser etc
hes too noob for ssh
nwillems: what's byoubo ?
likes his teamviewer
lizardbrain - use tightvnc over java
lizardbrain: that doesn't really answer the question
lizardbrain: please don't mock people for using a browser, it's not "noob" there is nothing wrong with using a gui
ikonia: newschool version of screen
zykotick9: ahh, thank you
nwillems: how are you running java script from the command line
ikonia the task he will be performing are noob
hes making me write a webgui for a system i made
lizardbrain: so your boss wants to use the web browser on a remote sysyem, is that it?
)
ikonia: Its screen with a fancy line at the bottom, showing CPU and RAM usage and the time. I run javascript with nodejs
yes ActionParsnip
lizardbrain: stop it, using a browser is not "noob"
lizardbrain - i suggest use vnc vith java-addon from browser
nwillems: apologies, I'm not getting how you are running the java script from within a shell
lizardbrain: make him a shortcut to run: ssh -X username@server firefox
ActionParsnip good idea thanks
lizardbrain: when he runs the shortcut, you will be asked for password then the browser wil be launched
ActionParsnip - she must have X-server on both side...
gunjubas, does :)
lizardbrain: if you use ssh keys, you won't even need to enter password and can make a GUI icon to double click
ikonia: node.js is basically a way to use javascript as a cgi script (not exactly, but essentially server-side javascript) afaik
gunjubas: as long as the app is installed on the server side, it has the required stuff :)
ikonia: I might have something confused here. But byobu is basically a wrapper around tmux, as far as I know. Thanks jrib.
how to autoprint with lynx, to a textfile?:[
lizardbrain - good:)
marcus_  - u can use wget if you want to download page..
its a ?php page.. i wanted to save log over a game character :D
very cool program though
my gcc-building fail...))
dr_willis, the fix was to delete all metacity settings
ikonia: I just discovered vim "kinda" hit the same thing. I had opened a file in the directory and closed it cleanly with vim, but the .swp file remained. So I'm guessing its some filesystem thing.
It resolved itself after cd'ing to / and back to /home/peter/.../
nwillems: hmm, I thought byobu was a screen thing, not tmux :/
nwillems: actually it seems to work with both :P
I would just like to know how it happened and how I can fix it. It jams the whole script.
jrib: I was just about to write that it can run with both.
wikipedia says so :p
does anyone know how to create to copy .usb file to a flash drive in Ubuntu
guys, any idea how to change synaptic tab buttons ?
nwillems: you probably need to provide more details; I'm not even sure what exactly the issue is
cowsquad, startup disk creator
nwillems: what's the soeren.js script do?
how is the amazon deal justified?
it doesnt work meant
okay sorry
well
hm.
cowsquad: '.usb' is not a common extention, what file are you trying to work with and where did you get it?
jrib: the issue is, that at somepoint I'm not allowed in my own home directory anymore, then I can cd out to / and then back, and then suddenly I can do things again. My script uses a module which mimicks the `mkdir -p` and that fails, it also shows when Im editing the script and cleanly exits vim then the .swp file is not deleted. I have no idea why or how it happened, no one else is using this machine right
now, or when the error was thrown, and no permissions was changed.
is a solarios OS file. i got it from oracle
nwillems: does this happen several times?  About how often?
mr_david: The soeren script creates a directory for its logging, other than that it has two child_procceses which does some work.
cowsquad: Can you link to the site where you found this file?
Kvaks: make up your mind.
jrib: I started the script about at 14:00 and it crashed at 18:00, it has happened before, but in general it runs for quite a while and then fails.
nwillems: I'm a big screen/byobu user. I was curious what cool stuff you can do with node.js within screen
Could it have something to do with my encrypted home drive?
nwillems: I was going to pursue that, yes.
mr_david: Ahh, the soeren script doesn't do any fancy. Sorry. ikonia just asked how I was running JS :-)
nwillems: but if you're leaving screen running under your user, I don't see why the directory would get unmounted
nwillems: is it happening now so we can investigate?
jrib: Unfortunately I already cd'ed out and back in.
jordan i got it from oracle.com
If anyone wants qvwm_1.1.12 for amd64 I've got it.
cowsquad: hurm?
nwillems: are there any interesting uses for node.js within screen?
Jordan_U: cowsquad got it from oracle.com :)
cowsquad: Could you give the complete URL please?
mr_david: not that I know of. Except for in general node.js is quite interesting :-)
cowsquad: I'm not going to search through the entirity of Oracle's website for the page that you got the file from. If you can't give a better link than that then I can't help you.
nwillems: what ubuntu version by the way?
jrib: Next time it happens(assuming it does), do you have any ides as to how to diagnose it? I'm running 12.04.1
jrib: could it be as simple as checking whether the volume is mounted?
nwillems: honestly, I'd just check for interesting output from dmesg, mount, and ls.  I would also consider seeing if it happens on a part of your filesystem that isn't encrypted.  It seems very strange that "cd" just seems to fix things tbh
nwillems: Next time it happens save a log of all the commands you ran and their exact output.
my laptop only boots some of the time with ubuntu 12.04 and 12.10, anyone know what the cause is? it stays in blackness unless i force power down and then restart...
Jordan_U: Will do. jrib if the volume would be unmounted, how would I be able to edit the file?
nwillems: exactly
here www.oracle.com/technetwork/server-storage/solaris11/downloads/index.html
Hey what do you guys get when you run glxspheres?
cowsquad: "USB images require the utility 'usbcopy' to copy the bootable ISO image to a USB flash drive. The required version of this utility is available on Oracle Solaris 11 by installing pkg:/install/distribution-constructor using the pkg(1) command-line or Package Manager utility." - thats rightj under the heading of the USB downloads.
cowsquad: Try Open Indiana.
bekks but that utility is available only in solaris. i am on ubuntu
cowsquad: Well, Oracle did not design the USB images to be used with something else rather than Solaris.
cowsquad, UNetbootin  -- sudo apt-get install UNetbootin
meant0m: You can use Solaris USB images with unetbootin?
bekks, I am not sure but its worth a try
Hi guys!
No, you need another image. The USB image doesn't contain a boot loader.
I have screen tearing with intel hd 3000 graphics (sandy bridge). in this bugreport https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=37686#c92 there is the suggestion to set 'Option "TearFree" "true"'. where do I set it? xorg.conf? I don't seem to have a xorg.conf. what now?
Anybody know how to solve sound issues with VLC?
For some odd reason VLC, forgets to play the sound in my movies I puase them
zteam: as in using vlc as a kde sound backend?
is there any fix for that?
almoxarife, nope
zteam: 'forgets' /???? explain that
almoxarife, just pure VLC on Unity / gnome
almoxarife, it does play the sound perfectly, as long as I not pause the video
zteam: pausing a stream from where?
almoxarife, not a stream just a regular video file on my harddrive
jrib: Well I'm starting it here over night and then I'll look at it in the morning, hopefully it will run without errors :-)
sleep thight when you get there. And thanks for the help
zteam: does the issue also exist when you 'totem' player?
almoxarife, seems to be a confirmed bug in VLC too
almoxarife, nope, it works just fine in totem
zteam: oh, try another player, assuming the point is to see the vid
is there any reason why I can't use ddrescue to copy my whole OS / partition onto a flash drive, to make my current OS into a kindof live drive?
almoxarife, well, the thing is that Totem is a kind of broken player itself
zteam: alrighty then
zteam: gnome-mplayer is good
(it can't handle DVD menus for example
ThinkT510, did try that one before, but it struggles with HD-movies instead
almoxarife, I don't wanna sound ungreatfull but I really like VLC otherwise
GunArm: the copy would be pointing to the original drive in many instances,
zteam: that's nice
almoxarife: what do you mean?
almoxarife, :-)
like in config files?
zteam: new bug? i downgraded vlc to an older version because of a different sound bug.
GunArm: yeap,
I have my Gwibber preferences set to "Do not display notifications," yet I'm still getting notifications for *all* messages every 20 minutes. Help?
almoxarife: what config files?  you mean like having the wrong UUID in fstab?
timoK, yes, I consider that too
which version are u using?
GunArm: i have not or have reason to give it a lot of thought, but if you really want to do it then do it, hell of a lesson to learn as you go, go for it
zteam: 2.0.3-0ubuntu0. that is the second to last one from 12.04, iirc. works fine on 12.10 for me.
GunArm: Indeed. You should change the UUID of the filesystem after copying, and make sure to update the fstab and grub.cfg. You also might need to update the initramfs to include USB drivers.
GunArm: Having two filesystems with the same UUID is asking for trouble.
almoxarife: sure, Ill be working on it when I get home in an hour, just wondering what i might run into
Jordan_U: I figured even after I did the clone I would have to purge/reinstall grub
but other than that the UUID in fstab is the main issue you forsee?
So I have a stupid question for you. How do I know I am using a lowlatency kernel? What's the difference?
GunArm: i guess my first thought would be 'how do i insure that i have ??????? mounting at boot
GunArm: Yes.
gustav__, not sure if this answers your question, but my familiarity with that is through Ubuntu Studio: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuStudio/RealTimeKernel
gustav__, you don't have it, only if you didn't install it by hand. the differencis, it is optimized for audio/video.
gustav__: http://askubuntu.com/questions/126664/why-to-choose-low-latency-kernel-over-generic-or-realtime-ones
c/didn/did
OerHeks: I want my GUI to be more responsive. How/can I do that?
gustav__, that has nothing to do with a RT kernel, disable some effects will help
well my SSD on my server is crashing, so I have to try to ddrescue it onto a new SSD i bought, I also bought a hella fast usb 3.0 flash drive, and I'm gonna see if I can get it where I can alternatly boot from either
OerHeks: I want applications to launch instantly. Always.
OerHeks: Our definition of GUI might differ...
gustav__, or buy a SSD, that gives any OS a boost
I have an SSD.
330 Intel.
well, then you are at your max i guess
I almost have as much RAM as SSD. So apps should be launching in nano seconds.
No, sir, I am not.
640k is not enough for everyone.
gustav__, RT kernel is related to latency in audio/video production, not general responsiveness of all applications
afaik there is no OS that starts apps in nanoseconds.
balleyne: Do audio/video apps have special code for those kernels?
real time kernels are often slower than other kernels btw
real time doesnt mean fast, it means predictable speed
Depends on what you mean by slower. Non real time kernels doesn't speak of time at all. So how can they be fast or slow?
GunArm +1
So, I cannot create a .USB within Ubuntu then
gustav__, from the Ubuntu Studio wiki page: the RT kernel is "an attempt to have deterministic operational deadlines from an event to system response, i.e. the time it takes the computer to respond to an event is known and predictable"
cowsquad21: With OpenIndiana you can.
cowsquad21: You cant create the Oracle Solaris USB thing with Ubuntu since Oracle designed it to be created with Solaris.
hi. need help with dual boot, please
* GunArm has a computer engineering degree with a specialty in real time systems
;p
balleyne: That's nice.
cowsquad21: or OpenIndiana.
GunArm: You probably cheated.
no i just retook things until the gave me a degree ;)
Well, if that wiki is correct, all apps will get a "speed up." At least it will seem more consistent. Hmm.
GunArm: so you probably already had the answer to the question you asked?
GunArm: xD I think they have a set of people who pass that way each year, actually. :)
almoxarife: No, he cheated.
gustav__, i.e. +1 to GunArm that it's more about predictable speed than faster speeds
non-real time systems can appear faster in bursts, but the point of real time systems is that if you have a RT system running a robot to perform surgery, it MUST have predicatable speeds
balleyne: You can't know that since other kernels doesn't specify time.
Thank bekks. I'd try thag
even if those speeds are slower in order to acheive predictability
GunArm: lucky me, my lappy has not learned to do surgery, yet
I want my machinery to work to guarantee times. I want control. I start with time.
Supp. you can kill a moose with an X41.
gustav__: Why do you need a RT kernel?
almoxarife: then you probably dont need a RTOS :)
That's surgery?
gustav__, but... guaranteeing predictable times -- whether faster or sometimes slower -- at the kernel level != faster application loading
bekks: Better control on what's happening. To see if it has viruses, for instance.
gustav__: RT kernels dont give you more control at all.
real time systems are defined as those which will cause damage to property or loss of life if units of work are not completed in a predictable timeframe
kernel chat :)
gustav__, there's an overhead being added with low latency kernels to guarantee that predictability as well, because the standard kernel isn't doing the extra work of ensuring consistent times
could be worse, apache talk is like zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
balleyne: exactly
balleyne: Still not comparing to systems specifying time. They will be faster, I bet. On a mean.
I have a drive which I don't have the correct permissions on to edit files. How can I change this so that I can?
GunArm: they just run in real time, with multiple threads. You can program a real time production line for packaging soap. No loss of life
gustav__: No. Not at all. Most likely, a RT kernel will be slower. But with a predictable execution time. Not needed for virus' forensics, etc.
gustav__, if that were the case, they why on earth would anyone use a non-RT kernel? Why wouldn't RT just be the default, if it was obviously faster and better for everything?
RT systems work with time. That's the point of it. Synchronizity.
Linkandzelda: what filesystem?
ActionParsnip: or damage to property, if a soap making robot arm doesn't respond to get out of the way before a nother one comes in witha  new bar of soap
bekks: How do you know if you have a virus on your system?
jrib: HFS+ with journlling disabled
gustav__: By using a virus scanner - the used kernel is irrelevant.
Linkandzelda: oh, I don't know about hfs.  Can you write to that now on ubuntu?
balleyne: Well. Because non RT can carry big loads. If the GUI is not important, why bother, for instance. If you don't need that kind of synchronization.
bekks: How do you make a virus scanner?
gustav__: Non-RT kernel can carry the same load.
ActionParsnip: vs soft real time, like a dvd player, which is "real time" but if it lags a second there is no loss of property or life
Where do the definition files come from?
gustav__: The kernel (RT/non-RT) is irrelevant at that point.
jrib: you can, but only on hfs+ drives which have journalling off. half of this drive I can write to, its just most of the existing data i cant touch. trouble is its 1.7 TB of data, and i dont have another drive to perform such a large backup
GunArm: its still a realtime system
bekks: I was talking about non-RT.
Linkandzelda: well try to use chmod/chown.  If that doesn't work, then it's likely some mount options
ActionParsnip: thats semantics, but no it isn't really, a soft real time system is psuedo-realtime
jrib: as long as that wont have a chance of damaging the filesystem at ll, then i'll give it a go
Linkandzelda: well on ntfs, chmod will just not do anything
GunArm: if parallel processes need to work in sync and at the same time, its a real time system
Ubuntu should have some kind of retard shell for all the retards.
gustav__: mind your attitude please.
Where mv is something like giggely-throw-the-file.
let's get back to support
Sure.
i say if you want RT then buy 32 ps3's
GunArm: hard real time systems imply total system failure if deadlines are missed
almoxarife: That wont give you RT ;)
bekks: 64 of them?
A mechanical clock - that's real time.
almoxarife: Even 64k of them wont give you RT.
ActionParsnip: I agree, and yet you call a dvd player a real time system?
GunArm: loss of life doesn't define a real time system, whomever told you that is using creative license
xD
i wonder what is 'real' sometimes
GunArm: yes, but its not a hard realtime system
loss of life or damage to property is what I said
almoxarife: Stare at a road in the summer.
jrib: that worked using chown, but is there a way to do a whole directory + files + sub directors?
GunArm: "real time systems are defined as those which will cause damage to property or loss of life" simply isn't always true, it may be true some of the time

almoxarife: This is IRC, message sent over the Internet. That's real.

GunArm: GunArm they are simply systems that are subject to a "real-time constraint". That is the definition
nothing is real, this is all just a dream....
hahaha
Negative on that.

fyi the version of samba in 11.10 is not safe to use
jiffe98: why?
I set it up on a dev machine and someone rooted the box through it
jiffe98: How did you know samba was the attacking vector?
jiffe98: with security updates?
bekks: because everything else was firewall off
jiffe98: Then how do you get access to that box - using Samba but no ssh?
Keyboard?
bekks: true, port 22 was open as well, if I had to make a guess though I'd have to point at samba
jiffe98: Investigate the logs before making guesses ;)
jiffe98: so someone on your local network did it?
I'm trying to install Lubuntu 12.10 on my LG X110 Netbook... I like to use the alternate installer, so i've downloaded it. Then I had made bootable by USB (With your recommended UNetBootIn) but it gives me an error when i'm on "Install Software Step". I've checked for integrity errors, and the installer gives me integrity errors indeed... But the MD5 is exactly the same that is given in Ubuntu Hash Tags... Anyone had problems wi
jrib: thanks, now I chown'd the whole drive and im good to go :D
"[!] Configuring d-i Integrity test failed The ./pool/universe/l/lxpanel/lxpanel-indicator-applet-plugin_0.5.10+git20120823-0ubuntu1_i386.deb file failed the MD5 checksum verification. Your CD-ROM or this file may have been corrupted."
trainspotted_: have you tried the desktop installer instead?
Linkandzelda: cool
yes i tried... and that works fine...
but i would like to report that the alternate installer is corrupted.
trainspotted_: isnt the alternate ISO no longer a thing?
trainspotted_: I suggest you report a bug
yes... where?
and what do you mean by "no longer a thing?"
timoK, any easy way, to solve the dependencies for that vlc package?
in linux my wireless will connect for about a minute and a half then disconnect and not reconnect again.  If i sleep and wake up it will connect for another minute and a half.  anyone know what I can do?
if i have old machines with less than 512 mb of RAM to run ubiquity that's the installer they (the lubuntu team) recommends.
ezio: are there lots or SSIDs on the same channel?
ezio: what wifi chip do you use?
trainspotted_: could try the minimal ISO, it installs using the web (get a wired connection to make life easier)
timoK, I tried with downloading each of this packages and then ran sudo dpkg -i * in the folder containing the packages
nice...
trainspotted_: its about 30Mb ISO :)
i know...
but i thought that was for advanced users...
and i never tried...
is it possible to mount on a PC a ntfs USB HDD that i have on the server?
in the minimal iso i have to select what i want... right?
ActionParsnip, it's a school connection. intel chipset
trainspotted_: it just installs using the web, in text mode. You can build up a very compact OS if you want or use the usual metapackages to install using the repos. Saves having to install an OS, then have to upgrade it straight away
there aren't the packages selected by default...
ezio: any other SSIDs about?
ActionParsnip, works in windows without problems
yup
lots
ezio: on different channels?
proably ... it's a university
alright... but... where do i report that the alternate iso has a problem?
i would like to help improve that... :)
ezio: if you run:  sudo iwlist scan | egrep -i 'ssid|channel'   do you see them on the same channel?
hey i have a problem with my wireless connectivity after i installed the latest kernel update, and i never had to install drivers for it before, how do I get wireless back?
joe__: are there bugs reported?
ezio: also try disabling IPv6 if you don't use it
i'm not sure where would I look for bugs being reported?
joe__: bugs relating to the wifi chip you use....
fadsf
und
joe__: check on launchpad
can I change DEFAULT_FORWARD_POLICY="ACCEPT" to "DROP" from ufw without changing it in the /etc/default/ufw?
or with iptables
burtonium: so, you want to change the rule in iptables you created with ufw, but not use ufw?
hey. Just fresh installed 12.10 on old hp/compaq. Previously 10.04 workin 0k. Now boots ok, after login, blank desktop (no icons, no launchbar, no alt-f2). Ideas?
no i cant find a bug report with my broadcom bcm 4313 regarding this kernel update, most likely because the update was just released today
almoxaire: no. there is this file /etc/default/ufw with some default policies, I can change there, but i want this policy to be changed on the fly ;) since i want to make it ACCEPT when ppp is connected, and to change that policy back to DROP when i DC from VPN
hi, got a problem here with installation. I have multiple hdds installed, and I don't know where the current bootloader (windows 7)  ist installed to. the automated install does not find the right one, what can I do?
could i just downgrade the kernel?
almoxarife: found it ;)
justus_: was win7 the only os previously installed?
definitely not, there's a whole clutter of previous operating systems, maybe 1 other still usable
almoxarife:  the main problem is that the whole system is so screwed up even I don't know my way around there anymore. usually I pray ^^
there's 4 hdds installed, 3 sata, 1 ide
the ide one is screwed up, and isn't bootable anymore, the other ones might be the problem, cause I don't know where the actual bootloader resides that is used on startup
justus_: do you know which partitions could be wiped/removed/made into free space?
almoxarife:  that's not the trouble, I allready partitioned and installed
after login to fresh 12.10 install, I just see an empty desktop (only the background)
enriq: what video chip do you use?
ActionParsnip, mmm no idea, it's an old notebook (which had 10.04 running ok)
ActionParsnip, maybe unsupported?
enriq: if you press CTRL+ALT+T do you get a terminal?
ActionParsnip, yes
enriq: great, run:  sudo lshw -C display     what is the product line?
ActionParsnip, NV17 GeForce4 440 Go 64M
enriq: do you have internet access now?
on the system?
ActionParsnip, yes, I've just apt-get update'd
enriq: and:  sudo apt-get upgrade'd  and: sudo apt-get dist-upgrade'd
ActionParsnip, oops no, doing it now
ActionParsnip, that would do?
hmmm
enriq: should help
enriq: you may want to blacklist the nouveau driver
enriq: you may be able to install the nvidia 96 driver which may drive the chip
ActionParsnip, I guess this driver is not in the repos? Anyway I have clues, after upgrade and dist-upgrade we'll see...
ActionParsnip, thank you for your time, will come back if still stuck
enriq: upgrades fix a lot (most times :D)
whats the best torrent client which supports grouping?
i noticed that Transmission doesnt support grouping on linix
Linkandzelda: here is no single best app for anything
Linkandzelda: if there were, the others would cease to be used as nobody would use them, as ome is best
could someone help me with this issue when I try to do: sudo apt-get upgrade http://paste.ubuntu.com/1336176/
ActionParsnip: I'd have to half agree with that, as some software is 100% better than others xD
im not even sure what 'grouping' means for a torrent client...
Linkandzelda: only in your opinion
dr_willis: when you have a few thousand torrents running, its pretty nessasary to have them grouped
dr_willis: at least, in my opinion xD
Linkandzelda: can you name a client from any OS taht does this?
I have screen tearing with intel hd 3000 graphics (sandy bridge). in this bugreport https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=37686#c92 there is the suggestion to set 'Option "TearFree" "true"'. where do I set it? xorg.conf? I don't seem to have a xorg.conf. what now?
ActionParsnip: transmission on mac and windows, hence my earlier statement
timoK: you can make a barebomnes one with just that option set in a section stanza
Linkandzelda: interesting
ActionParsnip: transmission is my favorute, even if another piece of software has thousands more features, but without grouping im forced to look for alternatives :(
Linkandzelda: is it not under the transfers menu (just looking online now)
could someone help me with this issue when I try to do: sudo apt-get upgrade http://paste.ubuntu.com/1336176/
hi
lol
superfake123: you have been messing with /etc/default/grub
superfake123: check out line 19
ActionParsnip: it also lacks another important feature to my mac setup, which is downloading a torrent to where the torrent was opened from. instead im forced to set a single folder
superfake123: can you pastebin the /etc/default/grub file please
Linkandzelda: you can set the folder downloaded to when you add the torrent
ActionParsnip: you mean manually each time?
Linkandzelda: how much stuff are you pulling down?
Linkandzelda: https://forum.transmissionbt.com/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=11790
Hi !
ActionParsnip, oh! I had added intel_idle.max_cstate=0 processor.max_cstate=0 idle=mwait to the file because I was told to by someone here. I removed it and it's working now
superfake123: the text was there dude, you pastebinned it
superfake123: did you even read the text?
ActionParsnip: enough stuff to consider it a problem lol, its also uploading. the reason this is a problem is i have my torrents downloaded via RSS and sorted to the correct folders, transmission then downloads them automatically and they are placed into already sorted folders, then plex can watch and update my media library, all without me doing a single click :D
hi
ActionParsnip: like this? http://paste.ubuntu.com/1336201/
ActionParsnip, ohhhhh I see that now. ok my bad :( thank you!
superfake123: ;)
timoK: look great :)
k, I'll try that. thanks
i have run debuilf, but the build gaved error, i run debuild again and it failed, so when abuild fails, before running debuild again what i need to do?
ActionParsnip, ok all updated, upgraded and dist-upgraded... still no desktop... I guess I need to do that driver thing... any links?
Hmm. where is that addatidional drivers thing in 12.10 now..  i found it once during beta
simplew: depends on what the error is
trism: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1336196
enriq:  hav3e you installed any of the nvidia drivers from the repos?
dr_willis: software-properties-gtk (which I learned from you)
enriq: try:  sudo apt-get install nvidia-96
is there apt-source i could use to install this package and all its dependencies ? librsvg-2.36.4
simplew: you have local changes, run: dpkg-source --commit; first to create a patch for the changes
^^ on ubuntu 10.04
shishirmk, where's that package from?
shishirmk, it doesn't appear to be a package... :/
shishirmk: is this on a desktop OS?
trism:  whats weird. is i put lubuntu on a laptop. and i thought i saw a 'additional-drivers' tool like from 12.04 on it.
trism: commit the changes??? the build broke, so i fixed the patch, now i need to build again, and for that i need a clean source
simplew: you appear to have modified a file not in the patch then
shishirmk: what is the output of:  lsb_release -sc
ActionParsnip, http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=librsvg&searchon=names&suite=all&section=all  <-- list of packages matching a keyword search :/
simplew: you could add it to the patch and refresh it
oops, meant to point that to shishirmk
dr_willis, ActionParsnip, nvidia-96 is provided by some other packages... nvidia-experimental, nvidia-current-updates, nvidia-current... do I install nvidia-current? sounds good
shishirmk, are you trying to get librsvg2-2 from Raring/
or librsvg2-bin or similar.
(that's the only one that has 2.36.4)
enriq:  i always just install nvidia-current on my system. if you run that software-properties-gtk  app. it should reccomend one
trism: no, i simply updated the patch, after that i would need to run "quilt refresh"?
Hi, everyone!
shishirmk: install librsvg2-2 package and you'll get librsvg
What do I need to get guest additions working in VirtualBox?
mdspencer: click to install them and it will download the ISO, shutdown the guest and set the CD to be inserted at boot and power on the system
mdspencer: you can then mount the CD and run the install script. That's how I do it
there's an install guest addtions in the machine menu i think
devices* menu
dr_willis, cannot run gtk stuff (alt-f2 now working and desktop is empty)
I ran the script and it failed to build the main module, saying it couldn't find the kernel headers.
enriq:  try apt-get install nvidia-current and reboot .. i guess. ;)
ok :)
enriq:  or apt-get install someotherwindowmanager and select it. ;)
Anyone here have experience with Zentyal?
simplew: if you modified that file and it is part of the patch yes, otherwise hard to say without knowing what you did, easiest is still to run dpkg-source --commit, look at what changed and decide if you want to revert it or not
ActionParsnip: I ran apt-get install linux-headers-generic but it said they were already installed.
hi. I'm having difficulty logging in, I can log in as guest, but not as my default user.
running 12.04 LTS
EdLin_: forgot password?
also, I can su to jbleex fine at a character mode root prompt from rescue.
almoxarife, I eliminated that possibility, while I was su'd, I did passwd and changed it, so I had the original password (and my new one) fine
trism: now i get this error http://paste.ubuntu.com/1336248
I just can't do a graphical log-in
trism: the build went fine, and not that error i dont get it
Hi there all I was just wondering if to change from Ubuntu 12.10 beater to 12.10 release is there anything that one must do to change the repo's or does it happen automagicly?
ocamlnet package needs updating.
simplew: it's only an error in the sense konversation-data.install says to add files from usr/share/locale/* but apparently your build didn't create any
theBIGelectron: just upgrade and you will have the RC
trism: so what can i do
theBIGelectron: they both use the same repos
EdLin_: what you just said was over my head, i can root a kindle with linux but password mods scare me into not touching them :)
Cool ActionParsnip, I thought so I just wanted to check
theBIGelectron: no harm done :)
:)
trism: can you tell me what i need to do to package from a source .tar.gz file?
dr_willis, ActionParsnip, ok got drivers, still no desktop... I need to configure something I guess...
ActionParsnip: I have librsvg2-2 installed but still imagemagick is not able to detech librsvg existence. I am not sure anymore at what level i have an issue.
simplew: install build-essential is a good start
Hi! Supposedly after degrading file system to ext2 from ext3 have a problem - every time i reboot or shutdown-powerup on boot i have a warning that FS wasn't cleanly umounted forcing to check. HDD SMART is ok. I waited until  the fs check finished several times but on the next reboot shutdown - the message came in again. Watched thru the syslog but there's no logging of shutdown sequence as i can see. Watched the /etc/rc0.d/ - umountnfs umountfs cryptdisks cryptdisk
simplew: I don't really have time to go over it at the moment
shishirmk: is there an imagemagick channel
ActionParsnip: Looks like there is
mr_44: adding a journal isn't really a degrade
simplew: if you don't really care about locale stuff you could remove that from the install file as a workaround, otherwise I'd probably need to see the debdiff to figure out what broke
ActionParsnip: I will ask about it there
ActionParsnip adding journal definitely isn't degrade 'cause i removed it with tune2fs -O^has_journal
mr_44: have you fsck'd the partition in live CD?
mr_44: why are you messing with your jounal anyway?
ActionParsnip, ok I installed the drivers... still empty desktop but now ctrl-alt-f1 terminal has a much bigger font :)
enriq: if you run:  sudo nvidia-xconfig    does it run ok or do you get 'command not found' etc?
ActionParsnip no im not fsck'd it. I degraded cause it seriously slowed my laptop's hdd performance. Could fsck deal with ext2 partiotions? May be the problem is in the e2fsck - fsck use?
mr_44: you may want to install preload then. Journalized file systems simply do not fragment to the degree that it will affect performance
preload was installed. The degrade speeded up my hdd performance significantly.
mr_44: you could stay on ext2
mr_44: you could also add the mount option:   noatime
Hi im having a small issue, unity music lens doesnt see most of my music, but rhythembox does detect it all, ideas?
ActionParsnip the question is not the FS to stay on but that after every reboot or shutdown-bootup fsck comes with an error "filesystem wasn't umounted cleanly" forcing to recheck every time
mr_44: if you run:  file /forcefsck       does it say the file doesn't exist?
How can I disable mouse acceleration without unity overriding that?
i tried rebooting, unity music lens still doesnt see most music
Testing....
cbilljones: are the mucic files in the same folder?
sorry, wrong channel
haha
actionparsnip yes they are all in a storage drive at /music
Testing a Cairo-dock app.... I wonder this doesn't function properly
Anyway not an Ubuntu question, I'll shush about it :-)
cbilljones: http://askubuntu.com/questions/201756/no-results-in-music-lens-music-files-appear-in-file-lens
how do i view startup stuff? like if I want to prevent /usr/sbin/bluetoothd from starting up?
 is Gambas any good for large serious projects?
cbilljones: found that in seconds...
superfake123: cd /etc/xdg/autostart; sudo sed --in-place 's/NoDisplay=true/NoDisplay=false/g' *.desktop
superfake123: now when you view the items in 'startup items' you will see them all
superfake123: or install rcconf if it is run in the rc.X folders etc
actionparsnip, tried that link, no change, still just seeing 9 of around 1000 albums
rhythembox detects all
ActionParsnip, thank you!
 is Gambas any good for large serious projects?
ActionParsnip:  No such file or directory. But i found this bug on launchpad https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/964990  it rely only to ext2 and still not fixed.
xangua, no they music is not in /home, its on a 2nd drive that houses all my data
cbilljones: then it's not gonna find it, the music lens only search on your home
xangua it does detect 10 of the albums
xangua no, never played anything directly from rhythembox
i've seen there is a plugin for thythmbox to register the songs youy play
xangua are you refering to zietgiest plugin? its not on atm
So. How can I automatically run X settings that won't be messed with by Gnome?
s/run/change
xangua actionparsnip i notice the albums do appear in file lens, just not music(except for a few albums)
Hi, this is kind of minor. Installed Ubuntu 12.10 but now when I boot into Windows 7 the speaker makes funny noises when I am about to play youtube or media.
ActionParsnip, nvidia-xconfig just ran and created an xorg.conf
I have an issue where files in a gvfs mount of samba shares will become unresponsive in 12.10. Anybody else seen this?
why doesn't gnome ever work for ubuntu 12.04? It just freezes at the login. I have kubuntu installed.
happened several times.
Nov 05 20:14:32 *	noone4 (~noone4@thingy.cs.umass.edu) has left #ubuntu (requested by IdleOne (Asked you before not to dcc chat random people))
Got a DCC from that user just now
Krenair: come to #ubuntu-ops please
also, there's nobody in '#ubutnu' atm.
hey, quick question.  is there any way to define an alias in .bashrc that can only be executed via sudo?
enriq: reboot to test
ActionParsnip: what's your reason for using linux over windows?
baloon: its free and does what windows can do, so why spend money
baloon: I switched when win2k BSOD'd at everything but Mandrake was fine, so I switched
how to link content of linux-headers-3.2.0-23 to standard locations ?
except messing with symlinks ...
_DanN_: i'd go with symlinks
well, one reason, guaranteed support. Secondly, the time you spend with linux might be equal to the cost you spent on buying windows 7, say.
Krenair: did you receive that dcc after I banned them?
ActionParsnip: this is not the way .. libc-dev has some files in /usr/include
actionparsnip i fiqured it out, search is capped at 100 entries if blank, if i add a query they come up
IdleOne, Yes, at Nov 06 01:03:32
ActionParsnip: dpkg -S /usr/include/linux/if.h
Krenair: thank you

hi
hey, quick question.  is there any way to define an alias in .bashrc that can only be executed via sudo?
ActionParsnip: I once installed debian and couldn't even get connected, I got no help on forums or in the chat.
got a nasty problem here with graphics drivers. I have two ati hd 6870, on fresh install everything was ok, then I installed the binary driver from the software-center now everything is screwed up as screwed up can be. sidebars missing, i can no longer use all my 3 monitors
can I somehow roll back to the previous state or do I have to reinstall?
Hi, this is kind of minor. Installed Ubuntu 12.10 but now when I boot into Windows 7 the speaker makes funny noises when I am about to play youtube or media.
reinstall your windows sound drivers
@justus: If you can get into the terminal, I would try purging the drivers from there and reboot.
JustusW: try uninstalling the drivers from the software center
That too.
JustusW: or from terminal
IdleOne: Ok, I hope that works
ActionParsnip, still nothing
JustusW: after that logout and log back in, should get you back to whatever driver was being used previously
Can't just I install some 2d interface on 12.10? my drivers don t seem to work with unity
enriq of coiurse you could
this problem of 12.10 sucks, it is like a linux distro of the good (bad) old days
hey guys, I can get cron jobs to run as root, but not my user. I'm on 12.10. any thoughts?
enriq:  whats your graphic card?
mr_44, nvidia NV17
hardware makers are often theones to blame. they just wont open up the info needed
my 4 nvidia systems work great.
10.04 worked fine
mr_44, GeForce4 440 Go 64M
help, I need help with ati drivers
I finished to install ati drivers
but my unity is hidden
and my software downs work correctly
doesnt
reinstall your windows sound drivers
crap.  frakking clipboard
apt-get purge will remove the configuration files for example from ~/.kde/share/config ?
hey, quick question.  is there any way to define an alias in .bashrc that can only be executed via sudo?
My ati graphic card doens work
simplew:  NO it will not
apt does not touch stuff in the users home dirs
dr_willis: so what the real differecne between remove and purge?
acolytetojippity:  make a script ant put it in /root/bin perhaps
simplew:  system config files will get removed with purge
NOT user files...
ok
enriq:  search the "nvidia-96" in Software Center and install the one with VDPAU
so there are no ways to add a line in .bashrc?
damn.  ok.
acolytetojippity:  it wouldent make sence really....
that's what's been proposed on several threads
true...
I have a strange question: How can I make every vowel character I type on the keyboard, use an umlaut?
automatically..
hi.. i'm incorrectly used btrs for my '/' partition.  i would like to change it to ext4.  my plan is boot via CD, move the contents to another, reformat '/' and move the contents back.  what would be the next step?
im thinking of installing ati graphic drivers, how would i fix it if it fails?
and it will most likely fail, but im desperate to get textures in one of my games
12.04 LTS, I'm unable to log in as user, only as guest, or as root in rescue. When in root in rescue mode, I can su to the user and do everything but load X in it. I've tried switching to GDM, but it gives me the same errors.
rchavik, im gonna hazard a guess that you will need to re-install grub after that
I'm also sure, in case you weren't here when I asked before, that I am getting my password right. :)
snoozie, using grub-install ?
hello?
rchavik, ill do some googling and see what i find, 12.04 uses grub 2 now
EdLin_:  check ownership of your .Xauthority file
dr_willis, what should it be, my user?
your users hoime has it yes.
Hi everyone I cant download and install unity from synaptic, it gives hash sum mismatch and not found errors. I have tried sudo apt-get update, it too gives not found errors
hmm.. i'm on 12.04 LTS and it has 1.99-21ubuntu3.4
How can I speed up Ubuntu 13.04 running in VirtualBox on Ubuntu? Windows, menus, etc are slow.
@dr_willis ok, this is a noob question, but...how do i access root/bin?
acolytetojippity:  its just a directory you make,
dr_willis, .Xauthority checks out.
acolytetojippity:  use sudo as needed
so, it wolnd't be in \root\bin?
i already have a root folder in my \
EdLin_:  make a new user - if they work. that points to a user config file issue.
rchavik, its grub2, and looks like ur right grub-install, if your not familiar with the process have a look here, /windows/Program Files/Ubisoft/Rayman Origins
dr_willis, I tried making a new user, it also fails.
oops
acolytetojippity:  and you make a bin direcotry in \root]\
i can't even cd to \root\
rchavik, http://howtoubuntu.org/how-to-repairrestorereinstall-grub-2-with-a-ubuntu-live-cd/
snoozie: you won't be able to run games like that in Wine unless the game is very portable
you need to use sudo.be root ... to get in there i imagine
sudo.be?
snoozie, thanks
dr_willis, though when I made the user, I did move my old user's home directory over to it, and changed permissions. It wouldn't log in though.
ActionParsnip, lols thanks for noticing, ive installed a prefix for it and moved the folder
mdspencer:  what's your ram size? how much VB uses?
changed owner I mean
I need Help to install my ati drivers
ActionParsnip, only thing im missing now is graphic drivers, which i dont think are supported with my hardware
dr_willis,  got any other ideas?
My graphic is ATI radeon hd 6700 and my ubuntu is 12.10
if a newly made users default settings fail. that points to some systenm config issue. is all i can say
dr_willis, that's a little vague. :)
if i fubar this graphic driver install how would i fix the issue
dr_willis, I don't want to reinstall, just spent hours building an Android ROM and I'd lose my work on that.
snoozie, did you check the hardware drivers tool to see if there's any drivers available for download?
I dont see why you would lose it...
TheLordOfTime, yes i did and no there arent
dr_willis, reinstalling would mean I'd have to start all over again, I don't have enough backup media to store it all on. (Takes up many gigs of space)
mr_44: 1536 MB ram, 128 MB video, and I have guest additions
TheLordOfTime, seems the FireGL that is in this laptop has been tweaked by HP, and they dont offer linux drivers on their site
besides, this is Linux, not Windows, I shouldn't have to reinstall. :)
ive done full installs of ubunto onto 8gb usb flash drives. )
mdspencer: how much VB uses?
if its only unity messing up. try a differnt desktopo untill you figure it out i guess
mr_44: what do you mean?
dr_willis, yes, and did you have enough space left over to compile a patched version of Cyanogenmod 10 in your home directory on it? :)
acolytetojippity: just in case.  you seem to be using the wrong slash for directories!  it's /.  NOT \.
dr_willis, maybe it is Unity, let me install another WM.
edlinn_ you still ahve your hard drive for workspace
what's the best command to install GNOME?
i have problem with install ATI driver
my unity doesnt work
mdspencer:  I mean you have a ram for your root system and ram that dedicated for VB guest system.
How I do for my graphic card work like in Windows?
Hello. For some reason, my Ubuntu installation consistently runs 10C hotter than when on Windows. What measures can I use to reduce the heat? According to my manufacturer, fan control is automated and cannot be accessed by the user.
mr_44: I have 1536 MB assigned to the VM in its settings dialog, which is close to the max recommended amount. Total I have 4096 MB in my computer.
mdspencer: do you have 3d enabled in your VM, and is the video memory (in the VM) set to maximum?  alternatively, install a lighter DE/WM.
mdspencer, uh... you could run with less than max recommended...
mdspencer, and assign less video power.  unless you're testing graphics-intense things, you don't need "max" recommended anything for a VM
mdspencer: That's pretty much. FS type on host|guest?
zykotick9: Yes and yes. I want default DE for bug testing.
mdspencer: try a lighter desktop like LXDE or XFCE, you'll probably find it a lot quicker
mdspencer: gnome3/unity isn't exactly going to be blazing fast under a VM... best of luck.
Would I get better performance with less video memory?
ActionParsnip,  Do you have a Tutorial for install ATI drivers?
mr_44: Do you mean filesystem type?
I just installed GNOME, I think it's going to unity shell instead though, so I haven't been able to test my user with it. How do I get it to launch?
ok, so i got into root\bin, but I can't execute the script i made...i think i did it very wrong.
EdLin_: install gnome-panel package and log off and you will be able to use a gnome2 like session
mdspencer: Filesystem = FS :) Yes
EdLin_: alternatively (and without dumb quirks) you can install XFCE and use that, its a lot like Gnome2 and you can run your Gnome apps there without issue
mr_44: just the default, ext4
what would be a good amount of ram and video mem to use for the VM?
i have winodws 7 lite VM on virtualbox ubuntu and now for some reason is not working properly, it shows windows is loading files and when it gets to the part with the windows logo and the green bar loading screen, it freezes and the bar moves only every about 10 seconds, help!
mdspencer: more is always better if you've got it. 1GiB ram and 64-128 vid mem should be more than enough
i have winodws 7 lite VM and now for some reason is not working properly, it shows windows is loading files and when it gets to the part with the windows logo and the green bar loading screen, it freezes and the bar moves only every about 10 seconds, help!
JasonC__, try in #vbox
JasonC__: dont flood please... or try ##windows
mdspencer: i'd recommend you to switch on ext2 FS on guest Ubuntu, disable all effects and/or try gnome-desktop. Plus you can give a try to VMware.  On guest WIN systems Vbox significantly faster but the MacOS ran smoother and faster on VMWare than on Virtualbox as for me.
hi does anyone knows the ppa for google-chrome?
manolos, google dropped their ppa, the version tru software centre is up2date
hello
correction, the version from their site is up2date
how can i download software center? i have nothing except fluxbox slim and xorg. ubuntu minimal install
Jaska_: I'd ask in #vbox and ##windows
mr_44: thanks, I'll try using VMWare with ext2.
manolos: when you install the deb for google chrome, it add the google PPA for you
Hello, after installing security updates tonight my unity refuses to launch.  Please read about my problem here:http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=12339296   I was hoping someone here might have a solution
oh ok thanks. i guess ill have to download it from google official site. thanks
manolos,  > https://www.google.com/intl/en/chrome/browser/
thank you very much
manolos: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1336397/
manolos: if you add the PPA manually, you will need to import the key manually. The deb does all that for you
thats better! thank you!
manolos: and if you want the software center then just 'aptitude install software-center' or lubuntu-software-center even
interesting
ill try it
im out for reboot ;)
ty
mdspencer: you can try to install gnome on your 12.04 for the beginning if you're not using it for Unity :) My laptop runs really faster on 12.04 gnome/ext2 than on unity/ext3 or ext4
re....boot?
BUMP: Hello, after installing security updates tonight unity refuses to launch.  Read here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1336400/  Hoping someone here might have a solution...
Stop launching updates that breaks peoples computers. xD
mikemog: why pastebin a URL?
having touchscreen issues can anyone help
That's what viruses do.
mikemog: if you make a new user and log in there, is it ok?
first time on this IRC channel, didn't know what the etiquette was
let me try
mikemog: pastebins are for posting multiple lines, so the channel doesn't scroll. The URL is one line so is fine to post :)
ActionParsnip: ok :)
mikemog: what GPU are you using too?
new to buntu and need help with cx210x touchscreen
Radeon HD 6310
mikemog: and what is the output of:  lsb_release -sc    (one line, so no need to pastebin) :)
part ofthe AMD fusion platform for netbooks
lsb_release -sc = quantal
mikemog: tried a new ubuntu user, see if its the same
ubuntu 12.04 on old acer laptop and broadcom wifi card that I can't get working... did upgrade and update and still I get no wlan0 when i run ifconfig
help
havn't created a new user yet, but guest account has same problem
helpppp!!!!!! pleaseeee!!!!!
bkfitz: connect to a wired connection and get updated, you can then easily install the drivers
if its faster than me looking it up, how do I create a new user from the terminal?
ActionParsnip: i'm wired now :)
ActionParsnip: ran the update and upgrade and still no dice
ActionParsnip: glad you're here :)
Why on earth did Ubuntu just let me remove -apt- without giving me that "Yes, do as I say!" warning?
And, uh, how do I fix this?
apt-get
pflash the dram LordTrev
Yes thank you
I'll just get right to that won't I
ubuntu 12.04 trying to gettouchscreen to work , sorry about that earlier
pffffbt
hollinheadk: are there bugs reported?
no it just tells me that there are no calibratable devices found when i try to calibrate
ActionParsnip: ubottu: this is soooo frustrating bc theis laptop is dooooog slow compared to my new daily ssd x1 carbon
copy the deb file from /var/cache/apt?
ActionParsnip: created a new user and rebooted.  tried to login and screen flashed black and returned me to login screen.
it is a gateway cx210x with a new stylus
ActionParsnip: no wrong password error.  If I enter the password wrong on purpose it will give me the error
Well, mighty usefull channel you've got yourself here. Anyway, just installed the stuff with dpkg, thank ye
hi all. how can i switch users without logging the current person out? ie, i want to start another x11 window session on :1 with another user. is that possible?
<action parsnip> I have tried several things to fix it but nothing I can think of to fix it works
hope i'm explaining that right.
kevin_: Do you use a display manager?
kevin_: su otherusername
what is display manager ? Im new to this
Off topic: Is google down for anyone else?
LordTrev: yeah, lightdm with gnome classic
how do I make a master mode wifi access point in ubuntu?
need it because me android phone cant see ad-hoc networks
OpenSorce: http://downforeveryoneorjustme.com/
kevin_: well yes it is possible, I don't know of any elegant ways to use do it, but off the top of my head: use xscreensaver-command to lock xscreensaver and click 'switch user'
cfhowlett, yeah... that seems to be down too and websitedown.info reports it's up. Anyways, sorry for the off-topic
is it possible to install gcc-4.7 without breaking the system, I'd like to use it as an alternative compiler for D (gdc)
There's certainly a more elegant method that doesn't require xscreensaver but that's what I know
OpenSorce: no worries
ctrl-something l
microm: are you installing manually? as in from source?
LordTrev: ah, alright. thanks. for some reason xbmc stutters when playing HD shows if i'm running it inside gnome, but not if i'm running it standalone... dunno what that's all about either but that's a whole different issue, heh
LordTrev: no, from the package manager
microm: well then it shouldn't break anything, should it?
LordTrev: I guess.
is there an ati or amd channel i could go to?
this not having a driver is seriously disappointing
snoozie: there is a PPA with a legacy driver, may help
I'm using "remotedesktop client" but I can't get it to maximize window. is there an alternative soft that has this feature???
snoozie: http://www.ashwinraon.com/2012/10/amd-legacy-driver-solution-for-ubuntu-12-10/
ActionParsnip, the problem i seem to be having is that HP has modified this chipset
Lulu
TeamViewer?
ActionParsnip, on windows i had to go to hp to get the driver for xp and install in compatibility mode
under winodws 7
Ye
snoozie: oh jeez, sounds brilliant
which is the most used client in ubuntu nowadays?
Lulu yes
TeamViewer is?
lulu: teamviewer is proprietary afaik, so the only client is teamviewer
ActionParsnip, yeah considering ati has drivers that support this card in linux, while hp does not
ActionParsnip: but teamviewer doesn't sound like built specially to connect remotely to a windows machine
am I right?
lulu no, it will work fine with windows.
seems like rdesktop has a command to view in full screen
lulu: it can run in wine
lulu: what do you want to achieve by connecting to the remote system? What is the purpose of the connection?
ActionParsnip: not what I'm trying to do
remote administration
lulu: yes, but in what way?
I want to see the screen and do cool stuff
lulu: yes, but what do you want to do?
not a terminal
I need the full view with gui
lulu: 9 times out of 10, there is a sleeker solution
naaa this is a long process I need to do lots of stuff
hello
lulu: two choices, rdp or vlc, both require firewall permission, vlc is the one most common
lulu: like what?
can someone please help me with an nvidia/black screen problem, it doesn't seem to fall under any problems I could find
vlc? you mean vnc?
lulu: yes, vnc
I'll try rdesktop full screen mode first
thanks bye
InFlames: is this on the installed OS or during install
* ActionParsnip bet's lulu is getting to the desktop then opening a terminal
it's on an installed os, I changed the default video driver to the nvidia-current-update and rebooted, now when i login it goes nuts, then i get a completely black desktop with my mouse cursor
it also seems to be displaying random shapes...
can someone help me the jquery file i put in the folder isnt showing
InFlames: do you use a switchable video chip (intel and nvidia)
Guest43300: Get a flashlight.
Guest43300: what folder and what file name?
i don't believe so, it's a geforce 9300 ge
i suppose it's possible, the machine is a lenovo, using it was an emergency decision
InFlames: Sir, is your computer on fire?
i named the folder js and its from the jquery site
no, it's not, but if i can't fixi it, it's about to be
InFlames: if you press CTRL+ALT+T   do you get a temrinal?
ActionParsnip: no terminal, but the weird grey shape on the screen went away
InFlames: if you press CTRL+ALT+F1 you can log in there and remove the driver you added
ActionParsnip: thank you
Guest43300: did you create the folder in a hidden dir/folder or did you create a hidden file (.somename ) would be hidden
what is the correct name of the driver in the repository? i just tried "nvidia-current-updates" and "nvidia-current" neither worked
InFlames: remove all the packages with 'nvidia' in the but not 'nvidia-common'
i wouldn't ask but i can't see it
ok so how how do i unhide it
ActionParsnip: i did "apt-cache search nvidia" and there is like 20+
i only installed 1
Ubuntu isn't a very complete system, is it?
hi, what is the expected behaviour if i don't have gdm / xdm / etc installed, and i boot up
i just get the splash screen hanging there
InFlames: thats the available packages, not the installed ones
i think it may be interfering with X startup, because it's still running
Spark: yeap, that's the expected behavior on tty7, the graphics screen
running X manually at the console
InFlames: dpkg -l | grep nvidia | grep -v nvidia-current
ok guys, I have an issue. I have a headless server I want to use to host WinXP VMs. How do I install WinXP without graphics?
ok dkpg
InFlames: your apt-cache search command lists every package with nvidia in them, it doesn't just show the installed ones
almoxarife: ok and that will interoperate properly with X if i start it?
almoxarife: this is an ati radeon using the drm driver
ak5: you install virtualbox and you run it headless
ActionParsnip: ok, that's what i was suspecting
whats the quickest way to copy my OS onto another disk drive and start booting off of that instead ("upgrade" my OS drive lets say)?  ddrescue?  making a tarball? (I expect to have to chroot and purge/update grub)
almoxarife: ok, I woud use qemu --enable-kvm but still the question remains, how to install xp without gfx?
ak5: virtualbox has a builtin RDP server. just connect to that to view the gui
dsprc: does that load up during the install prcess?
InFlames: tab complete apt-get remove nvidia
ak5: that's off topic, you need the docs for what ever you want to use
http://spark.woaf.net/Xorg.0.log
i did some googling for that [   224.714] (EE) RADEON(0): [drm] failed to set drm interface version.
but i only found bugs about X starting before plymouth had finished
Spark: is there a reason for not installing gdm/kdm/lightdm ?
i have not used them for years
i just tried gdm though
ak5: you can launch the rdp server with a command line switch when you fire up the vm
it 'fliuckers'
*flickers
and running X directly ought to work at any rate
dsprc: ok
i've tried different vts, no change
except for 1-6 where it gives a different error message, but then i'd expect that to not work
ak5: it will be there even if youre not installing anything or dont even have any boot media
i've run out of ideas
this is all because fglrx has stopped supporting my chipset in the latest version :(
If I choose virtualmachinehost from ubuntu-server setup, what software gets installed?
Spark: have you tried the legacy fglrx ppa?
hey guys
just wanna ask, is 512mb of ram is enough to run 12.10?
please answer, thanks
Guest58704: sure
oh ya?
Guest58704: I'd go with Lubuntu to give a snappier OS
oh ok how to change it?
Guest58704: how do you mean 'change it', just download the Lubunru ISO and install it
ActionParsnip: what's that, a package?
Guest58704: you may have better results with lubuntu. a bit more lightweight than the default gnome setup
Guest58704: or do you already have Quantal installed?
will it lag?
Guest58704: with Lubuntu, doubtful
ActionParnship: not yet
Spark: http://www.ashwinraon.com/2012/10/amd-legacy-driver-solution-for-ubuntu-12-10/
Guest58704: as long as youre not doing lots of 3d or using firefox you should be ok most of the time
Guest58704: then grab the lubuntu ISO and install using that, it isdesigned to be light
hello, can somebody help me, i remember seeing somewhere that it's possible to add live iso for ubuntu as one of the menu items in grub
ActionParsnip: still no luck... I think I must have more than one driver installed and it's getting confused as to which to use
ActionParsnip: how can i figure out which are installed, which are trying to load, and why it's failing
bkfitz: driver for what, please?
ActionParsnip: broadcom wifi
ActionParsnip: old laptop with Broadcom wifi that isnt working
If I have ssh keys for two servers, whats the best way to transfer files (scp) from serverA to serverB without having to add keys to serverA?
ActionParnship; thank you very much
bkfitz: could try the jockey app and disable the driver to uninstall it. The broadcom how to also lists a tonne of packages which you can uninstall to remove the drivers
-- from my local
ActionParsnip: jockey app?
bkfitz: yes, its a GUI for enabling drivers
ActionParsnip: USC or Synaptic
ActionParnship: is the jockey app ieasy to use?
bkfitz: jockey is its own app
bkfitz: USC and synaptic are the same difference
ActionParsnip: it looks like it's already installed but I don't see it in the menu
bkfitz: just run it from a temrinal
ActionParsnip: jockey-gtk... got it... trying now thx
i changed my environment to Gnome 3 Classic
how do i make it stay that way when i reboot?
So, uhh, this is kind of off-topic, but what are some good general chat channels on freenode?
bitgod: afaik, the last session each user used is remembered
Please respond.
ok good ty :)
ActionParsnip: it says no proprietary drivers in use... then it lists the broadcom drivers and says this driver is installed but not currently in use... so it must not be getting enabled correctly in init??
Holy_Chipotle: try #ubuntu-offtopic or ##club-ubuntu
^ Vendor lock-in. -.-"
ActionParsnip: "This driver is activated but not curretnly in use"
bkfitz: if you run:  dmesg | grep -i firm    do you get messages about missing firmware?
My mousepad settings have stopped working. I have the horizontal scrolling checked but it doesn't scroll.
ActionParsnip: only one line result : [    0.078446] [Firmware Bug]: ACPI: BIOS _OSI(Linux) query ignored
how do i make it so i don't ahve to enter my sudo password each time i sudo?
bkfitz: i suggest you read the broadcom guide, look at the broadcom chip you have and work from there
i forget what file i need to eidt
chipotle_: run:   sudo -i
chipotle_: you can then run all the commands you like and they will run as root
chipotle_: then run:  exit    and you wil be user again
i do sudo -s and prefer that, but i have to input my passwd once
chipotle_: well, yeah thats a good thing
chipotle_: If you have actual root access, you can also use su
Magiobiwan: its not supported here
I think
ActionParsnip: not for this case, it's not
Oh
i think i need to add a line to /etc/sudoers
Silly Ubuntu
lemme check my other server
Magiobiwan: no, smart
Heh
Magiobiwan: you can control exactly who can use sudo and who cannot by groups, you can even use sudoers to grant users access to commands and so forrh. Its a much more granular security model
Let's just NOT start arguing that.
I prefer CentOS for my servers.
Idk why I hang here.
But Ubuntu isn't really a secure OS, is it?
I don't like Ubuntu really.
gustav__: its as secure as you make it, just like any other OS
Magiobiwan: my servers run puppy, but are dying so will probably go debian
I'm gonna move to PCLinuxOS on my computers soon
ActionParsnip: You don't think the odds of attacks differ from different platforms?
gustav__: distros don't make you secure, the admin makes you secure
Doesn't distros have admins?
You do have to work to make your install secure.
I get sent a lot of packages from Ubuntu. Don't have time to check them all, really.
chipotle_: sometimes the distro makes you insecure. a la debian ssl fiasco
A lot of packages are already installed.
ubuntu 12.04
What is /var/log/messages for? Just general system messages?
Who knows what all of them are doing.
Ozera: it's for app's logs
e.g. your webserver logs, etc
/var/log/messages is the syslog.
See I get different answers
Some webservers post to it, some have their own logfiles.
webserver? My laptop is not a webserver
I don't know what you mean by "general."
define webserver
Ozera: Program serving http requests.
kk
* Ozera thanks gustav__ 
Ex. Apache, nginx,
There's a few others
No worries, mate.
Linux is complex as h-ll.
hey, I just edited my /etc/network/interfaces to have a static ip for eth0, now I want to change my default dns server, but it says to not manually edit /etc/resolv.conf - how do I do this in ubuntu?
Ozera: use nginx tho ;)
someone how speak spanish ?
chipotle_: Hm?
ok
nevermind
gustav__: any OS can be attacked
gustav__: 'admins' in what way?
ActionParsnip: Oh, sure, but who will hold up.
jaja
gustav__: not just http. technically gopher space is "the web" too :)
ActionParsnip: Package maintainers. What else... lots of things.
dsprc: Oh, I didn't know that. Perhaps FTP, too?
don't use ftp
use sftp
There's ftp-ssl.
hey, I just edited my /etc/network/interfaces to have a static ip for eth0, now I want to change my default dns server, but it says to not manually edit /etc/resolv.conf - how do I do this in ubuntu?
waste
sftp is the openssh interface
use that
Well, I can't, with my host. It sucks.
I use sftp, too.
change hosts
My host is a real retard. I know, he went to my class.
Yeah, I've thought about that. Problem is it's a lot of job. I might, in the future.
what do you mean? he's mentally challenged and he runs a hosting company? wow
i figure you need at least a 100 iq to do that
anyone in here know the default password and username for the openstack-dashboard package?
Being a retard can be behaving as an asshole, too.
I cant seem to find it anywhere...
is anyone running ubuntu on macbook pro 8,2? using efi boot
Censoring on the Internet is really a dead cause. So many ways to get around that.
gustav__: more are decentralised but there are meetings and such
gustav__: canonical has mark shuttleworth
gustav__: tell that to the Chinese
ak5: what do you mean?
hello all, I just have a fresh install with xubuntu 12.04.1 alt cd, but when it boot, it doesn't display anything text or splash, the monitor even lost signal  for a few secs. It does boot into system at last and run flawlessly, but it's just bugs me. I tried booting with nomodeset seems the monitor doesnt lose signal but still no display during the boot
chipotle_: internet censorship is rampant in china
ActionParsnip: Hm? Administration?
and by the way I'm a chinese = =
ak5:  oh i know
i was just reading r/mensrights today and they were talking about sexism
Censorship is everywhere, don't kid yourselves.
they recommend that you act dumb and ask questions in return
ActionParsnip: what is the name for dkpg in apt? "sudo apt-get intall ?"
ak5: gksudo gedit /etc/resolv.conf    or:  sudo nano /etc/resolv.conf    If you are using static IP you can uninstall network manager if you want (assuming it is not using wifi and doesn't intend to travel)
chipotle_: If you change the uid of your user to 0 you won't have to use sudo at all.
gustav__: in what sense? You can't through out stupendoudsly ambigiuous words and expect an intelligent answer...
gustav__: that wouldn't be smart
ActionParsnip: ok, it just tells me not to edit the file, I just killed the dhclient3 process, cause it was changing the file all the time, now i will put my nameservers manually
InFlames: your question doesn't make sense
ActionParsnip: They collect and send out packages to users.
i need to install dkpg, how do i do that
when i ran the suggest command it said dkpg is not installed
InFlames: you have it already
chipotle_: I think it works, actually. But it breaks a lot of things, sure. But a lot will work too.
ak5: it gets generated by network manager, you can also add the name server definition in the interfaces file too
ActionParsnip: I am using ubuntu-server
gustav__: so the packagers
i thought i did too tsimpson
InFlames: apt uses it, you must have it or you can't install anything via apt-get
ActionParsnip: The name of this product is being administrated.
ak5: its the same on server and desktop, you can define the nameserver in the interfaces file
ActionParsnip: I can do dns my.nameserver.ip  in /etc/network/interfaces?
ok, well first off, i'm an idiot and typed "dkpg", when it's "dpkg"
...sorry for that one
Inflames dpkg -i /path/to/file.deb
InFlames: typos get us all
InFlames: to install a deb you downloaded - sudo dpkg -i filename.deb
Linux/Ubuntu is hard to use for a power user.
they have been the bane of my linux experience
gustav__: define power user...
i don't know why you think that
ActionParsnip: Developers.
i can set up a lemp server in 20 minutes
gustav__: There are plenty of development tools in the repos
That's not a power user. A 3 year old can use an iPad. Is that a power user?
ak5: you can edit /etc/dhcp/dhclient.conf, look at the "prepend domain-name-servers" part, that allows you to "override" what you get over DHCP
gustav__: you started all this...
ActionParsnip: I thought Mark Shuttleworth did.
gustav__: there i build-essential in the repos for an ansi standard c compiler and each package has a dev package for the headers, so you can compile apps
Can someone explain to me what a 'Kernel Panic' is? Ubuntu 12.04.
ActionParsnip: That stuff is hard to use.
Ozera: a bad thing
gustav__: no..the whole 'power user' thing
chipotle_: More detail please.
it is equivalent of the blue screen of death in windows
restart
gustav__: what? installingb packages so you can build.. are you serious
ActionParsnip: But I have compiled and made a package, actually. It wasn't that hard. A bit inconsistent, I give you that.
gustav__: that's development
Yeah.
any building error gives a clue what is missing/wrong, so it is not that hard
Ozera: Your system gave up. It's probably Linux Torvalds' fault.
gustav__: but  you said Ubuntu made things hard for power users..which you subsequently larified as developers
*clarified
gustav__: but then you said making a package and compiling from source was easy
gustav__: I want a real explination please
ActionParsnip: Yes. Without a package system installing source packages is easy, yes, maintaining them is hard, yes.
Ozera: it's when the kernel does something that it doesn't expect to do, and can't recover from the problem
ActionParsnip: ok, so weird, it says tht nvidia-common and nvidia-settings are all that's installed
Ozera: Then I would have to see the screen it showed you.
gustav__: so how does ubuntu make it hard for developers when the thinngs they need are in convenient packages?
gustav__: makes absolutely zero sense
somsip: mk
gustav__: so, do you have a support issue?
ActionParsnip: This information is not presented to the user.
somsip: Oh, I have many.
gustav__: the lay user will not be concerned with this and use the available packages
gustav__: power users will be aware as they are the ones wanting to program and such
ActionParsnip: Maybe I'm getting used then.
gustav__: given you're in the support channel, how about asking one. Other chat is getting off topic
gustav__: used in what way?
gustav__: there's also help.ubuntu.com and the forums, take your pick
somsip: My mousepad doesn't scroll horizontally, although I have selected that checkbox in gnome-control-center. And it did indeed work before.
ActionParsnip: Accustomed.
gustav__: maybe, but the compilers have a super sweet time due to the packaging of what the want to use, so I fail to see how ubuntu is not good for them
gustav__: I'm sorry, I can't help you with that one. But could the off-topic chat please go private or to #ubuntu-offtopic. Thank you
somsip: What's off topic?
somsip: Do you have a support issue?
gustav__: conversations that don't relate to support.
Which are?
ignore gustav
Oh sorry
gustav__: discussing why you think that Ubuntu sucks is not a support related issue.
Ubuntu is the best.
also not support related.
gustav__: can you plese clarify...
i am unsure what to do next, go to nvidia and curl the driver file and install it?
anyone know how to view read messages using the "mail" command line client?
ActionParsnip: it would be better if you moved this to #ubuntu-offtopic.
ActionParsnip: I haven't worked with this platform, this way, that much.
i can see my new messages i jst dont know how to get to my old folders
or my read messages
gustav__: so your statements are founded on.....nothing?
ActionParsnip: Slackware packages, system.
IdleOne: i'm done, people making statements without prior knowledge and me shooting them down is fun :)
gustav__: I'm moving on, I've dispelled all you have said
ActionParsnip: I understand you wanted to educate a misinformed user and I appreciate it but you know this channel is not the right place :)
I see.
IdleOne: np :)
ActionParsnip: can you help me? i am lost
InFlames: can't right now. 2 dumb citrix boxes dodn't come up nice
bummer
InFlames: what was the original problem?
somsip: nvidia drivers for a geforce 9300
InFlames: In what version of ubuntu? What have you tried?
i installed one via the additional drivers option and it broke everything, i am trying to remove them, but they don't even seem to be installed, so i am trying to figure out what i need to install instead
somsip: 12.04
i also tried 12.10, but that had issues as well
InFlames, you need the 173 driver for that card
i recall this, but can't remember what i need to do to install it
sudo apt-get install nvidia-173?
InFlames: if this still applies it might not be good http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1984913
InFlames, yes, that is correct
somsip, current is 173.14.35 so the driver is updated
OerHeks: thanks for clarifying
can anyone help me figure out how the hell to get to my read mail with the mail command line tool
johnjacobjingerh: did you hit 'd' when you read the message?
no somsip
the messages get moved to /home/username/mbox
when i close to mail client
i just dont know how to view them
i did it once before
but cant figure out how to do it now
johnjacobjingerh: -f on the command line. check man mail
somsip: hmm my man pages only has an argument for -F not lowercase -f
and thats to save message according to sender
but let me try withy a lowercase -f

Hi, i have a problem with my laptop. It has Ubuntu 10.04 installed on it. The sound software won't recognize the headphones jacked in until I try pulling them out and plugging them back in again, and only when there's something playing.
const_antine: is it a desktop OS?
yes
const_antine: you do know Lucid desktop has about 6 months support left?
i do now
const_antine: try the Lucid block of commands here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshootingProcedure
const_antine: personally I'd go for a clean install of Precise (for LTS support til 2017) or Quantal (for the latest bells and whistles)
http://pastebin.com/NjNriUVa - can anyone help me with my printer setup wireless by usb problem with an hp officejet 4500 wireless
i see
Question: Does Libreoffice just not work correctly in 12.10? It does't work on my laptop or my desktop. Anyone else?
in the meantime, can i control where the sound goes?
const_antine: a later alsa will probably help. Lucid has painfull old packages for a desktop OS imho
austin: try renaming its config folder then rerun it
hi. i want to install wine1.5. my installation is amd64. do i have to install wine1.5 or wine1.5-amd64??
hi
I'm trying to configure which dns server is used via command line
# Dynamic resolv.conf(5) file for glibc resolver(3) generated by resolvconf(8)
#     DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE BY HAND -- YOUR CHANGES WILL BE OVERWRITTEN
aristidesfl: the order (top to bottom) is significant
 /etc/resolv.conf has that ^
aristidesfl: you can add the name servers to /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/head   and they will be added when the server boots
somsip: so the machine restarted after the drivers, now it thinks it's a laptop again, ideas?
aristidesfl: they wil get added to /etc/resolv.conf then used :)
ActionParsnip that file says the same thing
dpkg says nvidia-173, common, current, and settings
# Dynamic resolv.conf(5) file for glibc resolver(3) generated by resolvconf(8)
#     DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE BY HAND -- YOUR CHANGES WILL BE OVERWRITTEN
aristidesfl: that's the file to add to. or you can add it in /etc/network/interfaces if you used that file to define address/subnet etc
ActionParsnip I'm using dhcp
what's a good writeup on process execution? like what happens after fork()...
aristidesfl: http://askubuntu.com/questions/157154/how-do-i-add-changes-resolv-conf-without-getting-overwritten
rhizmoe: not something I'm knowlegable on, sorry
rhizmoe: could try #linux and #bash
[04:25:54] <ActionParsnip> aristidesfl: http://askubuntu.com/questions/157154/how-do-i-add-changes-resolv-conf-without-getting-overwritten   <--------- this worked thanks ;)
aristidesfl: yes, the dhcp servers for nameservers will flod in and be put in, the head servers are added first, then the dhcp ones, then the tail ones (as I understand it)
Hey I'm having a boot issue when I use the windows install, anyone wanna take a crack at it?
czfool: do you mean Wubi?
Yes
Ozera: what is the issue?
* cfhowlett Wubi ... 
* ActionParsnip hates wubi
Heh, well I'm trying to set up a dual boot system.  Do you recommend going about it a different way?
czfool: resize your NTFS and make free space (Win7 can do this to itself), then install to the freed space
czfool: FYI Wubi is a TESTING platform, not a long-term installation solution.  So sayeth wubi developers.  Instal a regular dual boot system, virtual box or vmware are other options.
czfool: explain what happens during boot
I think I figured out the problem, I didn't set up a partition for the ubuntu install
Based on what AtionParsnip just said
czfool: you would not with a wubi install
But if I try to boot using ubuntu I get a corrupted file error
czfool: if you are using wubi, you don't need a separate partition. It installt to a file in your NTFS
czfool: did you checksum the ISO?
Ok thanks I'll check that link out
czfool: a wubi install is at the mercy of ntfs corruption, you need to run ntfs chkdisk on the drive
czfool: and if/when the ntfs gets scrambled in windows, so goes your ubuntu ...
* cfhowlett wubi ... *shudder*
* almoxarife ran a wubi-buntu for quite a while, it was not that worrisome, somewhat tricky, yes
its also a pain to fix if it falls over
compare to a regular install
* cfhowlett I installed ubuntu via wubi once.  ONCE ...
czfool: you want to create the boot-disk 'gparted' , you will need it sooner or later when you decide to free up space for an actual install of linux, gparted is a gui, it is somewhat simple to use, assuming you already have the basics down of partionining
part-te-chun-ning
somebody get me a partition with a frickin laser beam attached to it's head
Hi
I have a little problem with a key being kind of stuck when my package manager updates
When I update, I get: W: There is no public key available for the following key IDs: thekeyID
I have a feeling it came from a PPA that is no longer there, but I don't know how I would manually remove the key as it's not listed in gpg --list-keys
thesadmafioso: what is the key. I can give a command to add it
KeyID: 3B4FE6ACC0B21F32
I don't really want to add it, I just want to get rid of it.
Or at least view it wherever it is.
thesadmafioso: sudo apt-key adv --recv-key --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com 3B4FE6ACC0B21F32
Will I be able to view and then delete the key pair via gpg?
It seems that the keys downloaded for PPA's and repo's are stored somewhere else, and I really would like to know where that is and how I can look at them.
thesadmafioso: you can do that in software centre as far as I am aware, no need to export it really. JUst readd it in the same way if you need to later
thesadmafioso: if you add PPAs properly you don't get the error
Yeah, I think I goofed it. I only recently found out how to use PPA's.
thesadmafioso: it;s cool :)
thesadmafioso: if you use the command:  add-apt-repository ppa:something here, the PPA gets added and the key imported
hello
hello i have a question i want to install ubuntu but i want to make sure i get the right iso. my laptop is a sony vaio vpcel
plant: what CPU does it have?
plant, core i7?
wait
amd e-450 apu with radeon(tm)
plant, i think that was 64 bit ...cmiiw
plant: http://releases.ubuntu.com/12.10/ubuntu-12.10-desktop-amd64.iso   MD5sum=7ad57cadae955bd04019389d4b9c1dcb
blackshirt: http://www.cpu-world.com/CPUs/Bobcat/AMD-E%20Series%20E-450.html  yes
i was downloading i 386
plant: how much RAM do you have?
plant: you can run 32bit OS on a 64bit CPU
4 gb
yeah
actionparsnip, i don't have interest with it ... Thanks
that
plant: You should be ok. the 64bit ISO will give a cleaner upgrade path
blackshirt: covering the bases
ok
does my ethernet would work?
and stuff like that
plant: but the 32bit OS will run
plant: depends on the Ethernet chip used
plant: most work out of the box
cool
does anyone know of a known issue with mounting and copying files from a digital camera via usb? I am using ubuntu 12.10 32 bit, have reinstalled twice, and keep getting thsi same issue. shotwell hangs up when trying to mount, and i cant copy the images as nothing ever copys.
i want to be an ubuntu packager
S6, 0y 2eyb6ard 14st started act5ng c60*3ete3y n4ts
needhelp1: tried accesing it with nautilus?
yeah, same issue
ActionParsnip:
plant, greats :d
needhelp1: do you have a 'disk mode' on it, so it appears as a USB HDD?
lol
hey i have a problem
blackdex plant it's no longer with us
ActionParsnip: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/udisks2/+bug/1048059   does this look like the issue
needhelp1: possibly. If you run:  sudo fdisk -l    do you see a partition the same size as the storage?
ActionParsnip: in about 30 mins i can check, im doing another fresh install
i downloaded ubuntu and tried to install it and it said i was missing casper/vmlinuz so i went and read some stuff and it said to run a md5sum on it so i downloaded all that but now i cant find the hash info for the ubuntu download from the direct dl site
actionparsnip, thank huys, i don't see it, lol
guys
in order to compare it to what i have
Beef: did you MD5 test the ISO you downloaded?
i did
it gave me a bunch of random numbers and letters
i was going to compare it to what the site says it should be
the is something seriously broken with suspending to ram on all hardware..
but i cannot find that info
Beef: and did they match the correct hashes?
ok i just checked against the link provided and the hash information does match
but im still missing casper/vmlinuz
Beef: then the image is corrupted and needs redownloading
Beef: yes because the data you have has errors
ok im redownloading it as we speak, I'm not familiar with md5sum but I thought if the information matched it meant it was not corrupted?
Beef: if you use torrents it helps you get a good image as the torrent protocol adds extra checks
Beef: oh it DOES match
my bad, then the data is good
well the problem is i cant download any of that kind of stuff on this computer
well if the data is good then why am i missing casper/vmlinuz
Beef: what kind of stuff?
azureus or bittorrent
Beef: are you using a CD or a USB to install with?
CD
beef, are you using old version ?
12.10
Beef: did you burn the CD as slowly as yu could, and NOT with the WINdows inbuilt burner?
yes at 4x
maybe your cdrom
i burned it with imgbrn as the instruction suggested
or your bad cd media
any drm inhibitor ?
im not sure what that is
several systems will not boot of cdroms anymore..
im redownloading it now ill check hash info again before i burn
use dvd-discs
well mine does, i have recovery cds
What kind of tools are available for Ubuntu that would allow me to restore a failed EXT4 partition?  I've tried using testdisk and it fails to repair the partition table every time.
i burned the file to a dvd disk
anyone know why gcc -lm isn't linking math
the computer is about 6 years old
AMDathlon 440

beef, with brasero?
not sure what brasero is
Gerowen, if fsck does not work it's lost, all you can do is use photorec to recover files but all you get is bunch of numbered files
nm
ezio: what is the error message you're getting?
lapion: I can work with numbered files as long as they're complete, I really don't feel like digging out all my DVDs and re-making all those ISO backups again, :p
it just says missing casper/vmlinuz
beef, i think your hardware was too old to load 12.10..how big your ram'size?
i believe 4 gig but atleast 2 gig
ive added some, just dont remember how much
it was the 64 bit version
hemm,thats big enough to run
if that helps
uh
pretty sure 2gb can run 12.10
i have an amd athlon 64 4400+
and that does not sound like a ram problem
Gerowen, how did you lose the sf in the first place ?
beef, have you try alternate version ?
the 32 bit version?
no i havent
Beef, casper/vmlinuz was kernel inside casper live system
lapion: Not sure, I moved from Washington state back home to Kentucky, packed up my external and when I hooked it up once I got home the file system said "Unknown".  All the SMART data is read properly and says the disc is healthy, just no data.
yeah i read it was a kernal just dont know why it would be missing
I had it in the back seat of my car for about 3,000 miles but didn't have any particularly strong magnets or anything that I can think of.
I think, system fail to load the kernel
Gerowen, are you sure you did not pack a magnet next to your hdd ?
beef, alternate 64 bit version
no i havent seen an alternate 64 bit version
would there be any different between running the 32 and 64 versions in this instance?
Gerowen: car speakers?
the only reason I chose 64 bit was for a program i have that id like to play around with
I had some magnetic CB radio antenna bases under the seat that it may have gotten close to, but honestly by the time I got it all in the house I could remember where I'd packed everything.  I never gave it any thought because I'd always been told modern hard drives were shielded from stuff like that.
but im not even sure it would work on ubuntu anyways
couldn't remember*
Gerowen, gparted also says the partition is unknown ? Or only windows says so ?
beef, thats use text installer, instead ubiquity installer used live ubuntu
not following
Gerowen, shielded up to a certain amount of gauss
Don't have any Windows machines, it was the "disks" utility (palimpsest)
I guess 3 or 4 magnetic antenna bases could have been too much magnetism if I wasn't paying attention and laid it down close to them.
Gerowen, I always carry hdd's on my body.
either in a briefcase in the hand or in a jacket, taking great care whenever having it on me..
ActionParsnip: sudo fdisk -l does not show the camera
lapion: i use network storage via my sftp server. bit easier
needhelp1: is there a disk mode option on the device?
not to my knowledge
lapion: Yeah, I put too much confidence in the hard drive, I mean none of the data is irreplaceable, it was primarily a "backup", so it's not the end of the world, just mildly inconvenient to have to rebuild it.
its a cannon g9
Gerowen: have a machine next to a set of 4, 12" speakers that'll warp a tv from 10' away and never had any problems with it
Gerowen, did you move yourself or did you use a mover ?
dsprc: I remember that was one of the most annoying things with the older televisions when I was young.  Somebody get too close with a magnet to the tv you play video games on, and all of a sudden you're using another magnet to try and pull the color distortion out to one corner and get rid of it, lol.
needhelp1: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/46693
needhelp1: I'd look through the options, see if it can be switched to a disk
lapion: Moved myself, the movers took some things, but I piled all my guns and electronics in the back of my Ford Explorer because I didn't trust movers not to try and steal it.
ActionParsnip: in all prior versions of ubuntu i have had no trouble with this device, the sd card mounts and works like normal.
needhelp1: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=879744
Gerowen, you will need a hdd approximately as big as the lost partition, and use photorec to get files form it, however you will get no directories or any of the kind back..
Gerowen: I'd look into a backup solution you can store separate, then you'd be ok
Gerowen, all you'll are files with a odd number with albeit not always correct extensions.

Gerowen, remember you are sure to get a lot of files you have delted in the past and such..
64mb ram minimum for desktop use with 12.10..?
I have a bit of trouble believing this
lapion: K thanks, just so happens my desktop has internal hard drive space big enough to house all the files, :-)
KsM: wrong
Gerowen, you never know your significant other might even find that porn shoot you did in her absence you thought you delted..
* cfhowlett ???
cfhowlett: I'm wrong or the page is?
:P
KsM: trying to find the tech specs page now...
lapion: maybe that is why he put all those magnets down there. trying to dispose of the evidence XD
cfhowlett: well that's the "Official documentation" and it's the first result to come up when searching ubuntu.com
dsprc, significant other is delayed so needs something to watch....
help, lightdm won't start with "sudo service lightdm start" it just hangs, does it normally take many minutes?
InFlames: should only be a couple of seconds at the most
InFlames: try restart instead of start, possibly
InFlames: how about if you log in at CLI, then run:  startx
ActionParsnip: it says "no screens found"
 Hi people. Why I have duplicated volumes on my desktop? xubuntu 12.10
lapion: So as it turns out the disk is bad, I manually ran a self test with the Ubuntu "disks" utility, and it failed the short self test.  I'm trying to reformat it and make a new partition now, but it's taking a while, looks like the whole drive is toast, oh well.
qwe: is one a shortcut?
No, I even can't delete it
Gerowen, get an RMA
Gerowen, how old is the hdd ?
Known issues
The messaging indicator is not available for 12.10
Duplicated partitions might be shown at Thunar sidebar and the desktop
Oh, they posted that bug. Hope it will be fixed
2-3 years
warranty should be at least 3 years if not 5 years..
i'll call wd then and see what they can do, i never even thought about that
just go to website and do a serial number check to see if the hdd is still within warranty, allways double check those check manually by looking into warranty policies
looks like startx errored
warranty expired
ActionParsnip: any ideas?
I am getting "WARNING: terminal is not fully functional

any ideas?

hello, I installed 10 ubuntu 12.04 virturl machines, now I want to update them all, install some package, deploy some app, and run them all, what should I use? I prefer python style

ok i got ubuntu loaded but now i have a major problem
i think it fried my video card
even after each log in.
my screen started looking like some sweater bill cosby would wear and there was a burning smell
I installed screenlet, launched some screenlets. Next time I logged in, I had to again manually launch each screenlet. Is there a way to load them on startup. There is an entry of screenlets manager in startup applications.

I see some files do not have it set
that was the problem
urlwolf: the commands in /usr/bin are also owned by root:root but anyone on the system that is not root has read and access rights
The keyboard shortcuts that let you set up a shortcut for switching to workspace X only go up to four, despite increasing my number of workspaces to 7. This is with gnome-session-fallback. Where is this setting in dconf-editor so I may fix this without needing to use some sort of third-party keyboard shortcuts app? (I like GNOME's, actually). I have restarted GNOME, still not showing.
Or alternatively, the CLI foo that GNOME uses to actually do this, and I'll just make a custom shortcut ;).
Quick question: why the default lvm2 instal doesn't separate / from /home?
(qq 12.10)
vininim: because the installer doesn't know how many apps are going to be installed or the use of the OS
vininim: so you cannot possibly guess the percentage split
ActionParsnip: sudo pip install puts exec files in /usr/local/bin but doesn't give permission to normal users. Why?
yeah, but a default ubuntu desktop can have some sane default values.

if you turn your monitor off you could have a black screen instead
sandy_: the gpu is your graphics card

I tried using :grep -l, but then the quickfix / location window navigation breaks, any suggestions ?
superfake123: try 'ls /etc/init.d | grep blue' ... think it might be 'bluez' you have to stop
it prints bluetooth
btw, just so if anybody needs, you can achieve what I was asking by ':grep -r -m 1 <pattern> <files>'
Yo lads. If I ignore kernel updates does that mean I'm less protected? Coz from what I understood kernel updates like "linux-kernel-image-generic" and so on are to fix problematic hardware no?

hello, i installed the 3.6.3 kernel and now ubuntu wants to "upgrade " to some 3.5.x, how do i prevent this?
pinning via synaptics is one thing i remember, would it work for this problem?
it would
I think it would.
varikonniemi: it _should_
but the kernel is compiled, not from a source ppa, does it matter?
@vari as long as it doesn't prevent you from using the system, and the ppa is fine, it should be okay
@vari did you compile it yourself?
varikonniemi, how did you install 3.6.3 ?
oh nm
just keep a spare laying around incase something breaks
what is easiest way to install 3.6.3 ?
tell your robot to do it

superfake123: we support ubuntu with the default kernel and the default desktops
ohhhh
superfake123: you are using ubuntu? or are you using mint (or something else)?
hiya.. strange problem.. today when booting my laptop, the secondary HDMI display-port just wasn't detected anymore by Kubuntu..
superfake123: and why need linux 3.6?
yes ubuntu, but I installed cinnamon
worked yesterday, so looked through the updates.. colord was the only reasonable suspect, but after reverting it, the problem still remains.. any ideas?
i prefer cinnamon over unity :\
superfake123: and why linux 3.6?
xrandr -q only shows the internal screen and the VGA port..
superfake123: sounds like the video driver is failing because of that
because it is the latest? I dono. well I switchd back to 3.5.0.18 and it's still doing the same thing
superfake123: "because its the latest" is a bad answer for a kernel upgrade
ok I'm sorry I'll never try to upgrade the kernel again :(
http://paste.ubuntu.com/1336819/
there you go iceroot
Is there someone who could help me understand kernel updates a bit better?
brady: sudo apt-get update
well.. i am on a live usb stick.. im not looking to update too much
superfake123: its just not a good idea to install a newer kernel when there is no need because the packages for an ubuntu release normally are only testes for the delivered kernel, you may face problems with additional software like video drivers and so on because they are build for the releases kernel
brady: sudo apt-get update   to update your sources
ahhhh
brady: it will not install new programs
k cool , just thought i would make sure
brady: its always good to ask to be sure
brady: so no problem
I think Iceroot answered my question by answering that of superfake's.
brady: with that command your system will read all the package names which are in the repos you have enabled
Inoki: fine :)
yeah, i found multiverse and enabled it previous to sudo apt-get update
iceroot: Coz I had a dilemma whether to install the newer kernel or not while everything works perfect on my system.
Inoki: never touch a running system
iceroot: You're the man! That's what I needed to hear.
iceroot: Coz I always had problems after installing even a tiny kernel update.
Just to get this one right, kernel and security updates are not the same right? I understand kernel updates as those fixing hardware issues. But if everything works 100%, no need.
Inoki: just install the security updates e.g. with sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade  or wait for the popup window which will inform you about new security updates
Inoki: both are updates, we are talking about security updates when only the bug itself is fixed, so you will have kernel 3.2.0-18 instead of -17. a kernel upgrade is when you switch from 3.2 to 3.5
Inoki: within an ubuntu release you will ONLY get security updates and no major updates for all software packages (there are a few packages where you will get new major versions like firefox, thunderbird and libreoffice)
iceroot: This is the thing. I often got problems even after migrating from e.g. 3.2.0-23 to 3.2.0-35 (just examples).
iceroot: also, I was told a while back, that sudo apt-get upgrade installs software and security updates while dist-upgrade a major release kernel included.
Inoki: not correct
Inoki: the difference from upgrade and dist-upgrade:
Inoki: upgrade will upgrade packages itself to the newest version from the repo. because of the fact that we only put security fixes in the repo and apt-get upgrade will for example upgrade package-1.2-4 to 1.2-5
Inoki: the kernel will not be upgraded with "apt-get upgrade"
iceroot , correct
Inoki: apt-get upgrade will only upgrade a package itself not the dependencies
dist will upgrade the kernel
i think thats the makor diff
Inoki: you have the metapackage linux-image-generic and that has a dependency to linux-image-3.2-0-18
Inoki: when there is a new kernel-update the metapackage will be updated to point to 3.2-0-19 AND the system needs to install a NEW package, linux-image-3.2-0-19
Inoki: dist-upgrade will update packages when they will pull different dependencies too
Inoki: apt-get upgrade will NOT update packages when another package will be changed too
iceroot: You have no idea how thankful I am for all this vital info.
Inoki: and because of that apt-get upgrade will NOT update the kernel. .) for a less confusing explanation have a look at "man apt-get"
can't burn 4.5 GB of data on a DVD k3b say capacity exceeded by 139 Mib please help
iceroot: My concern is moving from 3.5.0-17 to *-18, since on *-17 everything works 100% and my previous experiences tell me not to upgrade, since I always had issues with it. I know it saves previous configuration, but often reverting to a previous config didn't help or I wasn't even able to revert, coz I didn't even get to grub.
any link please
c0ff33: really easy, it's too much data for your dvd-r, you need a dual layer dvd
I'm using xmodmap to change my capslock key to left-ctrl, when I press capslock xev reads that I hit left-ctrl, but all windows respond as if capslock was pressed, what gives?
Inoki: i strongly recommend to update the kernel to the newest security release
Inoki: and normally nothing should break with that step
iceroot: Ufff.... still a bit worried. But if you say so.... What I did was installing just security updates, leaving the *-18 alone.
veryape: did't get you do you mind some clarification please ?
i'm having a weird problem installing dropbox, seems like the "restart dropbox" button is working, but dropbox isn't moving to the next step, also doing "nautilus --quit" didn't advanced it either
might have to ask on the forums
when i install grub is it going to add the other OSes i have configured with lilo or am i gonna have to do that manually?
InFlames: run dropbox status from the terminal
"isn't running"
GabrieleV: bug 1041137
InFlames: run dropbox start
ok, that started it
I'm using xmodmap to change my capslock key to left-ctrl, when I press capslock xev reads that I hit left-ctrl, but all windows respond as if capslock was pressed, what gives? I just upgraded to precise.
gtech: but the restart nautilus button still doesn't work
gtech: my whole issue lies in the fact when i close the install window and run dropbox from the launcher it says "dropbox is running in an unsupported location"
InFlames: I don't know, but it sounds like your dropbox folder was specified in an area without propper permissions
odd, i installed it from ubuntu's software center
c0ff33: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DVD-R_DL ... that is what you need since you can't fit the data on a regular dvd-r
InFlames: I could be completely wrong
InFlames: you could try installing from the deb file downloaded from dropbox.com
i did that too, but then there was no launcher daemon
frustrating thing is this worked only a few weeks ago, same process, different machine
download it then run dpkg -i on it
InFlames: also it sounds like Gnome or X is having some issues, I'm not sure how to debug that though
I'm using xmodmap to change my capslock key to left-ctrl, when I press capslock xev reads that I hit left-ctrl, but all windows respond as if capslock was pressed, what gives? I just upgraded to precise.
i will wait until tomorrow, right now it seems to be working atleast well enough
gtech: what are 'all windows' (because java and others ignore xmodmap) and paste your .Xmodpmap
veryape: checking it out, thankyou very much!
somsip: everything, even the keyboard caps light turns on
somsip: gnome terminal, eclipse, firefox, thunderbierd
gtech: you won't get it in eclipse. Paste your .Xmodmap and how are you running xmodmap?
somsip: via config/awesome/rc.lua
gtech: post the line....
http://pastie.org/5194259
urgh, awesomewm
bloody nerds
gordonjcp: oh behave ;)
:-p
I was actually looking at it the other day for a WM for an embedded device
gtech: you override every key in .Xmodmap? And what does your rc.lua look like *just for xmodmap* not the whole thing
it's a  bit too heavy and bloaty though
gordonjcp: I love it, but I accept it's not for everyone
somsip: yeah, as a desktop WM it's just annoying, at least for me
out of the box it seems to be set up to do everything in tiny dark-grey-on-dark-grey pixelly fonts
somsip: funny enough I can't find it...
gordonjcp: you use anything "out of the box" without fiddling? :)
gtech: FYI, mine is simply http://pastie.org/5194277
somsip: nevertheless, when I run xmodmap .Xmodmap nothing changes
gtech: how about just "xmodmap -e 'keycode 66 = Control_L'"
gtech: assuming 66 is the right one...
somsip: true
somsip: I turn off global menus in Unity because they annoy me
somsip: I'm just not that into "customising"
gordonjcp: I gave unity a couple of weeks, and looked for others. Awesome was my choice. Each to their own. OT
somsip: yes that is the right key as verified by xev, no it doesn't work
gtech: helpful? http://askubuntu.com/questions/93950/cant-remap-ctrl-key-with-xmodmap
gtech: like, the clear and add bits?
I have accidentally overwritten a file. Is there a way to recover it? I haven't restarted my computer yet. Is it possible to find it somehow in RAM?
gtech: the Add control bit seems to be used in a few .Xmodmaps I've seen, eg: http://efod.se/writings/linuxbook/html/caps-lock-to-ctrl.html
*add Control
hi, my wireless is connected over usb and its slowing down the other usb ports , especially my mouse. is there any way that i can fix it ? http://paste.ubuntu.com/1336872/
palasso: what file did you overwrite?
It was an sqlite database file. I executed an SQL command and then I accidentally saved the command to the file instead the new sqlite file.
palasso: hmm, i know almost nothing about sql, would anything be stored under /tmp/ ?
somsip: I recieve this error http://pastie.org/5194324
No.
gtech: that means nothing to me. But I keep finding very simple examples of doing what you want: http://www.paganini.net/index.cgi/linux/nocaps.html
Is there a way to find the file from the RAM? It should be still there...
somsip: looks like I have to patch xorg-server to use xmodmap
palasso: http://linuxpoison.blogspot.com.ar/2011/04/how-to-read-content-from-ram-random.html
gtech: really? Sounds horribly complicated...
somsip: apparently it's already been created, so I might be in luck, just in case I'm going to try xkb though
gtech: ok. gluck
somsip: cheers

Hello all, Is there a separate channel to ask question on ubuntu related development like using seccomp filtering facility etc.
its even about ubuntu so its some more information you need to have to understand me... im already it-technician trainee but my chefs are like "we dont care about you as long as you get the trash out" and i dont knowe what to do so i asked someone for something to learn... i got a ubuntu 12.04 cd and dont knowe what i can do with it so its impossible to find information about a topic i dont even knowe

llutz, Network error: Connection Refused.
chalcedony: that means that either no sshd is listening at all on the target or it filtered by iptables or such
chalcedony: so check on target machine if ssh runs (sudo lsof -i :22)
llutz, how do we restart the sshd?
chalcedony: sudo service ssh restart
borini: mayhaps /usr/include/X11  but dont blame me if it breaks something
llutz, no idea what he did: ssh: unrecognized service
openssh-server not instaled?

llutz, okies
hey guys, im having a problem getting a second graphics card to work
llutz: Unless it was changed, I believe the package name is openssh-server
Although, there may be an ssh meta package.

lhavelund: "apt-cache depends ssh"
llutz: *nod*
llutz, done, worked
llutz: I'm still on 10.04.04 ;)
* lhavelund learns.
lhavelund: even on lucid
llutz: Well there you go. I was always used to installing the openssh-server package directly. :)
lhavelund: would have done too, but "ssh" is short to type ;)
shorter*
* lhavelund nods.

Hello!
I am facing a problem with Ubuntu Software Center.
hi guys! question, I upgraded to 12.10, but ubuntu will not boot anymore. It complains of not being able to find the root fs (hd0,msdos5) and kernel panics right at the start. Booting with an older kernel works ok though, how do I fix this?
reduz
vlt: yes
reduz: which partition format you are using? ext3 or ext4
hello@everybody: is this the right place to ask, if graphics fails?
reduz try booting with a livecd of 12.10 had the same problem and it somehow fixed grub and error
Ubuntu Software Center does not automatically update the cache.
cshong try using "sudo apt-get up-get update" from terminal
I know I can update the cache using the command.
But,

jrib, alocer: .Trash on the server is 25 MB
vlt: :O awwww
hello
jrib, alocer: .cur is only 18 MB
If the users have to manually run commands just for updating cache, then I am sorry to say that Ubuntu is not user-friendly anymore.
vlt: i dont know what is going on there
vlt: but if i were you i try deleting theme ! i m not saying you should !!!
cshong, ubuntu hasnt been user friendly since ever
alocer: I did several times for weeks now.
cshong, but its about the closest i spose
is it possible to configure Ubuntu so that all the updates to the currently installed software is performed automatically and without user interaction? If so, can you tell me how?
I want this box to auto update itself, without user intervention because the user won't be a sudoer
MaxFrames, does the update manager not handle that for you?
MaxFrames, oh i see
hi all
what scsi_eh_0 process means?
MaxFrames: https://help.ubuntu.com/12.10/serverguide/automatic-updates.html there's some gui way too iirc.
snoozie: I don't know, I have no experience with that; it's for a user who insists upon using Ubuntu in an all-Windows environment
cshong have you tried updating dpkg?
I told him OK, but won't set him up as a sudoer
I actually have a question relating to a non-Ubuntu OS client for Ubuntu One
jrib: looks good, do you know if that works in 12.04 lts too?
MaxFrames: sure, just change the 12.10 to 12.04 in the url :P
Feedbook, i'm not sure, let me check
hey fellas, i cannot get ubuntu to install on my DELL INSPIRON laptop. it installs fine and then reboots and just freezes on a blank screen
can anyone please help?
MaxFrames, update manager usually requires a password, however most apps are installed globally i believe and only the settings are user-specific, so when the sudoer on said machine updates so does everyone
Feedbook, ext4
MaxFrames: I'd be fairly conservative about the repositories you update automatically though.  I would stick to just -security
I'm not sure if it's because of my firewall setup or something else, but whenever I try and log into my pre-existing Ubuntu One account it says 'can't encrypt'
takinya, just booting the livecd and doing nothing?
Previously, when I use Ubuntu Brainstorm website to make a suggestion about something related to update cache in Ubuntu Software Center, and my suggestion was not accepted by the developers. And a developer claim that Ubuntu Software Center will update the cache automatically.
I'm running Windows XP SP3 on a OOOLD Gateway business machine.
MaxFrames: here's the wiki page: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticSecurityUpdates
jrib: yes, I think so too
nevermind
Trying to use my Ubuntu One account to upload the files we want to try and transfer to a newer machine, since this one's so old it has a 3 1/4" floppy and only a CD Rom reader.
And I'm not sure how to setup a network file transfer between XP and 7.
reduz check your boot sequence
Takiya, I haven't. Because according to the developer, Ubuntu Software Center will update it automatically. I thought it is true.
dante is a good proxy server for FTP traffic ?
jrib: Do you need more specific data?
crlcan81, i dont know ow to answer your question, but i can suggest DropBox
reduz when booting from livecd boot and select try ubuntu without any change to your computer
* crlcan81 nods.
I think I have a dropbox too, if I don't ..I'll make one
vlt: I would yeah.  But maybe at this point you may want to do some research about whether it's normal for whatever reason
Anyway, I am going to report this bug.
jrib: I'd also like to connect to the Ubuntu desktop from my Windows machine. Is it really simple as this? http://www.liberiangeek.net/2012/05/connect-to-ubuntu-12-04-precise-pangolin-via-windows-remote-desktop/
cshong, search first, there may already be a report
also, ubuntu captured F10, how do i make it not capture F10?
cshong it does update it automatically but if there is a corrupt file it can be checked from terminal as you boot your computer by using "sudo touch -f"
MaxFrames, without looking ill gues that yes it is, ive remote controlled ubuntu via windows rather easily
MaxFrames: I've used vnc and rdp in the past, but have no experience with xrdp in recent versions.  I assume it's that easy, sure
reduz on terminal type "sudo badblocks -sv /dev/sda"
final question: since the system will be dual booted (windows and ubuntu), who knows if there is a way to connect remotely to grub and choose one or the other, then let the chosen OS boot and finally connect via RDP or VNC?
cshong try "sudo touch /forcefsck"
suppose I need to boot the machine (wake on lan) and then choose Windows over the default Ubuntu in order to do remote maintenance
to do this I suppose I need to remotely connect to grub before the OS boots
Hi all
MaxFrames, i doubt grub can be controlled remotely, a timer would assist in selecting an OS
I have got a problem with cpu frequency scaling, maybe somebody can help me with that ? :)
I am getting: "no or unknown cpufreq driver is active on this CPU"
when I run cpufreq-info
but I can't find any governor kernel modules
snoozie: how can I take advantage of a timer to make a remote system boot off the non default OS?
root@Filerserver:/lib/modules/3.5.0-18-generic# find |grep ondemand
I mean, if I cannot connect to grub, how do I choose the second OS in the list to boot from?
and it doesn't give me any results :(
MaxFrames, wouldnt be able to, only choices are choosing the default or making default the previously selected OS

The issue that I am facing is not only about updating. I just reinstalled Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. I want to install a package "build-essential". Regardless of which server I choose in "software sources", I cannot find that package in Ubuntu Software Center. Always, there is an error "No items match......".
hi, mz wireless suddenlz stoped working. i sue ubuntu 12.04, fluxbox and wicd as network-manager. can anyone help me with trouble shooting. i didn't find anything for that problem online :(
MaxFrames, http://superuser.com/questions/183401/remote-control-via-ethernet-a-computer-from-boot-for-grub-choices-on-linux
somebody who can help me with my cpu freq scaling problems ?
the module acpi-cpufreq is not available :'(
Are the Ubuntu kernels pre configured for usb serial debugging?
That package should exist. But, the error "No items match....." proved to me that the software center does not update the cache automatically.
MaxFrames, spose thats not really valid to your situation
cpufrequtils   Priyantha perhaps that can help
I have installed that package bazhang :)
cpufreq-info is part of that package
cshong, pastebin your sources.list
I used that tool to determine that I can't change my frequency, but my CPU should be able to
Hi there
a need a little help
is that because I am running a 3.5.0 kernel maybe ?

piotr99999, either check for a backport/PPA or compile it
bazhang, thx, give me a link where to search backport/PPA
piotr99999  but then you can't expect (much) support from the channel
piotr99999, backports are a repo you can enable in your package manager, search PPA at the launchpad search ppa site

afidegnum, and "not working" means what exactly. please be clear, and paste the exact command you used
I haven't update cache yet, so it does not shows. I am worry that if I update the cache through "sudo apt-get update", I am not be able to reproduce the same problem when required by the developers.
cshong, you need to update the sources.list...
bazhang: I just used mv * ..
I also used mv -f * ..
afidegnum, exact command to pastebin please, along with errors
this is one of the error pls `htmlpurifier' to `../htmlpurifier': Directory not empty
i always just use 'mc' for command line file management
i know that i need to update the cache to install the package I want. But, I just afraid that I cannot reproduce the problem (Ubuntu Software Center not updating the cache automatically) when required by the developers.
why when I try to install this https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/quantal/+package/nvidia-96 apt-get says it is a virtual package included in blah blah
why does ubuntu come with embedded adware/spyware?
hi, mz wireless card powers off after some time and i cant turn it back on :( i tried txpower and all kind of iwlist and iwconfig commands
joseph^, it doesnt
until now i can only get it to work by reboot
i will manually update the cache later. Before that, I will install Ubuntu in a virtual machine under Windows first, so that I can reproduce the bug by using virtual machine when the developers need it.
gnu.org says it does.
thanks anyway
joseph^, did you have an actual support question
that was it.
that was not a support question
anyone able to help me with compile problem? i believe it's related to --no-as-needed anyone know about that?

Hi guys
I've an issue trying to launch Konsole with gnome3  menu launcher
I've some message like unable to switch directory for $HOME
w0000t mine cpu freq is working ;)
it was some BIOS settings to change :)
Already got this one some month ago, but I'me unable to remember or find the fix again
running a new system and changed some O.C settings, and it was broken, now I changed some things and it's working again :)

Thanks Jekyll, it's fixed
hi there
ok, I just did a clean install on a 2 year old computer, with 2 AMD HD 6870, and the graphic bugs are really annoying me
how can I update the standard install to something that actually can cope with my graphics cards?
The search for Eyefinity Ubuntu did not yield anything usable
you are runnong 12.10 ?
affirmative
and using the latest fglrx drivers ?
it's a fresh install using the netinstall image
I have done nothing besides getting quassel to get to irc
Well, you guys may not like my question but...I was looking at some wiki software and I found something called kwiki and um... well I visited its site and was curious as to whether or not this is legit. http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/310 shows a link to its main page...why don't you check it out. Just be careful. Is this legit software? If not why is it in the repos?
okay, did you already install the latest fglrx drivers ?
Priyantha: probably not, if that is not done automatically by the installer. How can I check that and how should I install them if not?

hi dr_willis *hugs*
dr_willis: Did you see the site!
chalcedony: what filesystem? you could make fstab entrys or mount them by hand.
Am completely new to this... can anyone tell me how to launch the apps shown in the Software central??
Priyantha: I did install that yesterday from the software center, the result was a complete mess that I only could fix with reinstalling
i tend to use tiddlywiki FOSSrookie
tzar: install them. then you can use the dash search feature normally.
Priyantha: Right now my 3 monitors are working in a way, they're slow and laggy, and there are some graphical artifacts, but they work
after installing the binary driver last time around I was missing the sidebar and other stuff generally considered as need to have
dr_willis, something my husband can do with one hand?
Hi, I just upgraded from  12.04, and installed the gnome3 packages. now, launching firefox from the terminal works fine, but using the overview in gnome3 it just doesn't start (although firefox claims it's running now)
any idea what I can do about this?
chalcedony:  huh? that almost sounded... err... dirty.. (^_^)
chalcedony: ???
chalcedony: You must be really new!
dr_willis, he had a stroke, he can't speak or understand speech, or remember words.. he does use his computer.
f00dMonsta, you must be new, you don't know me?
Autotab time :)
chalcedony: When we use the term mount we are not talking about a manual (physical) operation.
So disabled users
if you want total controll of drives mounting. you can make fstab entries for the devices.
mmm justusw I can't help you further, sorry :(
f00dMonsta, i know.. forgot commands though/
I don't have any ATi/AMD cards here arround to help you testing
chalcedony: Press your <TAB> one more time please, you are addressing the wrong person :)
if a windows filesystem is unmounted wrongly.ubuntu may refuse to.automount them.
norbert79, oh yeah! i should go to bed.. he just wants to find his drives ..
chalcedony: Regarding one hand use: I think a virtual keyboard on the screen and using the mouse could be helpful
I think accessibility tools have an on-screen-keyboard available
hmm atm he's got it set so he can copy and paste without holding down keys
Hi all, Im using a live disc for a testdisk session to recover some data. I am using PXE server and booting precise. When i try to ap-get install testdisk it get error "Unable to locate package". any help would be hugely appreciated
norbert79, it drives me crazy but works for him
chalcedony: It works for him at least :) Btw, it's called gok: http://library.gnome.org/users/gnome-access-guide/stable/gok.html
try a sudo apt-get update   first?
dr_willis: tryed
prodnix: Are you sure the disk you want to use is enabled in the repository sources?
norbert79: explain further please
its on the universe repository. that may not be enabled.
prodnix: Well, within the repository sources, or within /etc/apt.d/sources.list the CD-ROM or DVD_ROM must be listed as possible source for packages
prodnix: Or what dr_willis meant: some repository resources might have not been enabled
norbert79: that sounds like the most likely case but i have no idea what to add in sources.list. so far only "main restricted" are there. only 3 entries altogether
prodnix: Since I assume you don't have much experience, I would suggest using Ubuntu software center and then fine-tune it within
prodnix: I think it's in "settings", or has it's own menu entry
norbert79: tyvm, all sorted!!! thanx all
prodnix: You are welcome
I am not getting any sound from the subwolfer for some reason. I have hdmi output and the and 5.1 selected, the other 4 speakers seem o.k.
prodnix: Would be worth now looking at the sources.list too, so you can see what has been entered there while you have updated your settings :)
it feels like it is muted or something, is there like an extended control for the sound or something
norbert79: Thats what i did to verify. Hopefully now once -apt-get update is complete i can install testdisk
hello, i have a ubuntu partition with 0 free bytes (i transfered a lot of files to it), and it can`t boot, i`ve acessed through a live cd but i can`t seem to delete files from the kubuntu partition
loganRun: Did you try to check how many controllers are listed? I mean sometimes it's just one colume missing. Sometimes I install gnome-alsa-mixer, where I can't fine-tune
how can i delete them
prodnix: You will
i`m sorry i misspelled ubuntu for kubuntu
norbert: controllers listed where?
loganRun: Within the PulseAudio controller
loganRun: I have just a few, so I install gnome-alsa-mixer as an additional package to check them in detail
norbert79: Perfect, tysm
prodnix: yw
tommy82934: Ok, first, are you sure there are no bytes free?
hello, i have a partition with kubuntu installed, after transfering some files, i got 0 bytes space free in the partition, and the partition couldn`t boot anymore, now i`ve booted through a live cd to try and delete files so the partition can boot,  but i can`t delete the files , it says they don`t exist
there's nog EQ in rhythmbox or am I blind? alternatives?
yes im sure, (sorry for posting the messag again)
Michiellllaptop: Well, normally if you doubleclick the pulseuadio loudspeaker icon it should pop up
tommy82934: Well, this happens if you use torrents so often. :) Alright, so you could also try accessing your system using your liveCD and then access the partitions within
norbert: how do I access the pulse audio controler, I am just using the sound control under the control pannel, is there another app you were refering to?
tommy82934: depending on where you transferred the files you should free up some space there
yes, i tried deleting files on the partition so I could free some space up, but i can`t move them to the trash on the live cd, they are on the home/folder folder
loganRun: As told I use the Gnome-alsa-mixer application as additional equalizer
norbert79, where would there be an EQ then? (equalizer)
norbert:ok, trying to download that
heh
let me check this
norbert79: i get a Could not read /media/
hello everyone!
Bug reported. URL: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/software-center/+bug/1075537 . Hopefully, someone who face the same problem will give a comment there.

hello
loganRun: gnome-alsamixer
norbert79: yes, there is the root partition in the file manager i can access it
hello everyone,this is the first time using linux
norbert79: maybe it is security and permission related? i can`t  change the permission on the folder im trying to delete
Nope
I use Linux from 1998
tommy82934: yes, that can occur, you should access your files as admin/root
I always use window before,but now,i find linux is excellent
what's this chat deal? .. support?

I am using XChat .... any recomendation for a better IRC client?
xchat works well
fulcanelli: what's wrong with xchat?
fulcanelli: Depends on what you prefer, but I think that's not a generic support realted question, more like depends on taste :)
tommy82934: You are welcome
I leave now. Thanks to everybody who responded to me.
I don't like the GUI ... that's all
fulcanelli, irssi exists. its command line.
:P
fulcanelli: Use Irssi then :)
or ircII
fulcanelli: weechat is a terminal client
i prefer weechat over irssi
norbert79: should the subwolfer be LFE? I am not seeing anything hidden in the menu's
I'm using the Classic desktop in Ubuntu 11.10. Is there any way to move the clock? It's in the top center of the screen, I'd like to move it to the right
+1 for weechat :)
loganRun: No idea really :(
Are the Ubuntu kernels pre configured for usb serial debugging?
Anyone know?
norbert79: seems like it is , low frequency effects from google, but not sure what to do next still no sound from that channel
petantik: No idea, is /var/log/syslog or dmesg not talkative enough?
Thank you for your advice ... I will try this other clients
Now I have to go .... goodbye
loganRun: You could also check /var/log/syslog or messages, maybe something was there about the missing of your subwoofer...
norbert79: I'm setting up kernel debugging
how can I rearrange my monitors?
catalyst control centershows me all three of them
but they're stuck together in a stupid way and I can't move more than one of them at the same time
norbert: seems like it works for other stuff, I guess it is just the test gui that is screwed up
that is, not in ccc but in the ubuntu menu
loganRun: Interesting...
loganRun: But it works at least
norbert: yeah, good enoough

in unity desktop, ubuntu 12.04.. whenever i switch application by pressing Alt+Tab, there is this application although its not even installed - inkscape, and no process running. how to get rid of it ?
any1 else with the same problem ?
llutz: excellent, exactly what i was looking for.
heya
I upgraded to ubuntu 12.04 from 10.04. While switching apps. using Alt+Tab keys, inkscape shows up in the list for no reason :(
I heard you can run Ubuntu alongside windows without defaulting to either platform
any idea guys ?
How would I go about doing that?
Oh, thanks, man!
is there a way to have rsync explain why it wants to update a file? I already have -vv

I am using 12.04 and the bugs I experience with k750 keyboard are in Nautilus, can only type one letter to skip to files beginning with that letter, and in Google Chat window if you type too fast the cursor jumps to before the letter you just typed. This does not happen when tested under Windows 7
smith765: maybe it's a temporary issue... I would go with "apt-get clean all" "apt-get update" as second try

anyone know how to get blacklight retrubution working in wine?
Fuzzles: I think http://www.winehq.org might be a better help :)
Fuzzles: http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=13983 - You might want to run winetricks before you install the game. apt-get install winetricks. Use it for installing directX and Visual C runtime
when i exit from a "ssh -X" session the processes that i created keep running in background ?
brun0: Depends. If you have ran it with "nohup" then they stay, but I would recommend using "screen" or "tmux"
norbert79, so use the winetricks direct x and visual c instead of what comes with the game?
brun0: So you can always return to their display
Fuzzles: You can use those too...
Fuzzles: Never tried the game, I just give the advice from past experience
norbert79, ok thanks what is winetricks exactly? like a front end for wine like playonlinux?
Fuzzles: Similar, yes, a bit older, and more limited, but helps sometimes
norbert79, ok thanks hopefully wine will make a big breakthrough sometime soon to hel alot of ppl like me haha
#pinguyOS
norbert79: cool. i'm using screen with byobu ;-)
Fuzzles: It already went a great way, you couldn't imagine how hard it was before 1.0 :)
brun0: tmux is a bit better imho, provides more features and uses more "eye-candy"... I would give both a try. Screen uses Ctrl-a, tmux: Ctrl-b
norbert79, you have a good point :) is it always best to sue the latiest dev version of wine?
both use Ctrl-a or b and ? for generic help, but you can remap the key-shortcut to something else
Fuzzles: I do so
Fuzzles: Sometimes it 'breaks' things though
Fuzzles: But works ok for me more often
Hey guys. I've just installed 12.10, but it doesn't load without the boot parameter libata.atapi_passthru16=0. How can I set this? I've tried doing it from the live USB that I used for installing, by selecting 'Try Ubuntu...', adding the parameter to /etc/default/grub, but when I run update-grub, I get 'error: failed to get canonical path of /cow'.
norbert79, ok thanks if i can get some of my games working on ubuntu i would gladly get rid of my windows partision
Fuzzles: Like earlier, before 1.3 I couldn't run Heroes of Might and Magic III with directX+Wine through network, now it works great
amoeba: You want to update the files in /etc/grub.d
amoeba: And then do update-grup
use the last file for your changes, I think it could fit there, but let me check Google for a bit
norbert79, did it take much tweaking?
exit
Fuzzles: HoMM3? No, I had to install DirectX for DirectPlay8 with winetricks and then it started working.
amoeba:  /etc/default/grub edit this file, add your kernel parameter at the end
norbert79, cool well done :)
amoeba: sudo update-grub after it
norbert79: when i do sudo update-grub i get 'error: failed to get canonical path of /cow'
amoeba: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash" you mkight want to look for a similar line
ehm, /cow?
how did that get there?
norbert79: no idea!
amoeba: You might want to check all files, like grub config and the contents in /etc/grub
norbert79: someone seemed to have a similar problem, but the solution eludes me: http://askubuntu.com/questions/207663/cannot-update-grub-with-paramters-on-live-usb
and /etc/default/grub
amoeba: Oh, not a generic installed system, but liveUSB... huhh, no idea there
amoeba: Anyway, try this: http://howtoubuntu.org/how-to-repairrestorereinstall-grub-2-with-a-ubuntu-live-cd/
as offered
norbert79: i tried that, it failed on the second step ('sudo mount --bind /dev /mnt/dev'), complaining that /mnt/dev didn't exist
Some seconds ago I installed "aptitude install nginx", but why is 'stat' telling me that a config-file was modified 2012-03-39, so many months ago?
I mean the file /etc/nginx/sites-available/default, this is the stat: http://pastebin.com/uVFPTBKY
The file was just created, so how the Modified (mtime) can be so old?
I thought, that when a file is created, atime = mtime = ctime = NOW
but it seems like it is not? I am confused right now
mr_daniel: Nope, since it was unpacked from a package
i dident think the live usb setup used grub. but used syslunyx
syslinux
dr_willis: No idea there really
mr_daniel: If you create a ZIP or a tar.gz and compress your old files there, so when you depack them they are created with their packed times
#ubuntustudio
mr_daniel: the file you refer is not created a few seconds ago, it was just copied from deb-archive
norbert79: isn't that a security problem, so linux is 'forgiving' with packaged files and accepts every ctime it is given? an attacker, for example could upload a PHP-Shell and set the ctime to an arbitrary value, which makes detecting just files very hard
In my opinion ctime should be bound and set according to the local filesystem, and not taken from files from a package etc.
mr_daniel: you realise that ctime != creation time?
no, ctime = "last time chen metadata of file changed, e.g. after chown or chmod etc."
but for me ctime has some sort of security feature, because it can't be manipulated by "touch", but is managed by the file system
well, I though it can't be manipulated, but it seems like the ctime from a file in a package is silently taken as correct
hello
mr_daniel: Don't you think, that the actions you have just listed need some quite exclusive knowledge and skills? :)
so a file creation time at that point isn't interesting anymore
oh wait a minute... here is the link again: http://pastebin.com/uVFPTBKY
i left my notebook closed for a few hours and when i open it the screen doesn't activate
ctime is fine and good as I expected it, it is
mtime that is set to past, well, I am fine with it because it can be set with "touch" either
ok, the world is ok again :)
norbert79: there is no "file creation time " on ext-fs (yet)
can  somebody help me?
Watertoast: is the battery empty?
mr_daniel: np
*no
Watertoast: there are some hard things, like Ctrl+Alt+Backspace to restart the xerver
but this will kill the desktop session and all operned docs are lost
mr_daniel: I wouldn't recommend it, and it's disabled default
Watertoast: maybe you could switch through displayes with Ctrl+Alt+{1,2,3,4,5,6,7}
mr_daniel: Yes, that's more a trick...
or the combination is another one, not sure if it is Ctr+Alt+Num
Watertoast: Are you sure everything else works, just your GUI not?
mr_daniel: ctrl+alt+number does not do anything
norbert79: the diplay is off and doesn't turn back on
Watertoast: you don't have a ssh-server running on laptop maybe?
yes
thats *fantastic*!
mr_daniel: He meant no...
you could login remotly
and kill the x server?
server edition question: I'm thinking of getting a vps and ubuntu is one of the options. Anyone know pros and cons? Is it as secure and fase as centos?
or maybe he indeed has SSH running... Killing X server is a way, but you lose everything running
Watertoast: well, don't kill xserver if there are important documents open that are not saved
word processor autosave feature.... a life saver. when it works.
dr_willis: :)
JValentin|VWC: The question is wrong. This depends on what you need. If you need for example Debian based layout, it's as good as a plain Debian. The pro: has good debian support, has canonical behind it, things work good, is prepared for server usage.
Hello there, I have photographed a long document page by page, and now I want to put those single jpgs into one pdf file. What program should I use?
ssh-login is good, but I also don't know exactly what to do with it. I only know the strategy "kill the xserver", but this is no real solution
the apps could be dead allready also.
JValentin|VWC: But for server use it's not the phiolosphy deciding, but the applications and middleware you want to run on them
Ubunewb: For example LibreOffice
Ubunewb: as text or big images?
actually, this is for a vps web server, so I don't think I'll need libreoffice
JValentin|VWC: LibreOffice was meant for Ubunewb
Are the video driver settings specific to a user? That is, I have the video driver+settings setup how I want them. Now I want to try a different driver, but be able to "fall back" on the current setup. If I create a new user, can I play around and change things and not make them effect the first user? Or since everything is done at a "system level" (with sudo) is that not the case?
dr_willis: big images, since its hand written
I mostly need svn, git and other such tools
JValentin|VWC: VPS server: it's fine, but as every other server it needs configuring as of course. I would use the alternative installer so you can minimaize the used space.
daviddoria: drivers are not user specific
norbert79: which program out of the package?
Ubunewb: Writer
dr_willis, ok, so then there is no way to do what I'm suggesting?
Ubunewb: Make the page re-set to no margins, and you can then stretch all scanned pages to maximum size
norbert 79: just insert jpgs and export as pdf? will it come out good?
Ubunewb: Well, got any other better idea? :)
norbert79:  I'm going to be running drupal and magento apps, is there any concern with requirements of those? Mostly performance is my concern
Ubunewb: "convert *.jpg foo.pdf"
JValentin|VWC: I doubt, that you would see any performance issues
daviddoria: not that i know if.
also some kind of control panel
I understtand there's webmin
llutz: That needs imagemagick, Libreoffice is installed as default
i've a problem with compiz on 12.10. Apparently i cannot change the duration of the "mninimize effect". Could anyone please acknowledge?
llutz: is that imagemag...ok, forget it, but can it convert a lot of jpgs into one single pdf too?
not sure if it has what I need, like domain and email management
Ubunewb: it can
dr_willis, ok I figured as much, thanks
norbert79: I only got openoffice installed, so I would have to update it into libre as well
JValentin|VWC: Use what it's the easiest to use for you... I would have no issues with any server ditribution, but you might bump into issues.
Ubunewb: OpenOffice is fine too
somehow imagemagick is preinstalled here too
I have worked with only centos via ssh, but keep an ubuntu desktop machine
Ubunewb: Well, there you go then
VLanZ:  saw some new tweak tool at webupd8 or omgubuntu websites last week that could do that and more. i forget the name. :-(
JValentin|VWC: Different philosophy for some packages, and layout, but works as easy as CentOS
norbert79: llutz: Thanks you too, I will try it
two*
JValentin|VWC: So no differences really, only for specific applications like Lotus Notes, Oracle DB or other Enterprise related tools
JValentin|VWC: the last two are mostly supported with RedHat ES/CentOS/Scientific OS
JValentin|VWC: just make sure you configure it well, set firewall rules ok, limit SSH access, etc
ive got a stupid question, how do i run additional drivers (jockey)
I understand that my l old favorite cpanel, is only for centos, but I guess I can get used to some of the others
ive got it on my dash bar and it has a locked symbol on the icon, ive tried sudo jockey in terminal, and it cant find the command
JValentin|VWC: You might want to review this document later on too: http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/securing-debian-howto/securing-debian-howto.en.pdf - Many of these things written here applies to Ubuntu too
user2: are you on 12.10?
12.04 LTS
JValentin|VWC: And you could check this too: http://debian-handbook.info/
user2: gksudo jockey-gtk
ok, thx
I'll look at those
can somebody help? my computer won't boot. I let a program change registry settings. all i have is an ubuntu live CD. this just flashes on the screen before shutting down http://i.imgur.com/1iZmX.jpg . the program has an option to revert the changes, how would I use ubuntu to open it and revert the changes?

I everyone's advice
RANDR is missing
eamon: I think it's F8 you are looking for. You should press F8 before windows boots, and select: restore last working settings
eamon: Yet I also should remind you this is not Helpdesk, but Ubuntu Helpdesk for Ubuntu related problems :)
hi all!
norbert79: F8 doesn't work on my computer, I always had to ge into msconfig and select boot in safe mode, then restart.
eamon: Well, use your Windows Installer DVD and use the rescue mode... I think Microsoft support would be glad to help you out
anybody tried install ofed in ubuntu 12.10 ?
im talking about infiniband support :)
hey guys
norbert79: I did that already and it didn't work.

Wiz_KeeD, you may need a thunderbird addon, but tha'ts not Ubuntu's purview
hey! anybody tried install ofed in 12.10?
IIutz: Thanks, imagemagick worked great!
ctrl: No
Wiz_KeeD, i'd check with the Thunderbird people on irc.mozilla.org and check there.
where is my conky config in ubuntu 12.10
Blacklite_: man conky
Blacklite_: the default used is /etc/conky/conky.conf
ikonia, is there a way to actually recreate that list
chucktewks: what list ?
hmm connection refused, i don't really care they come through thunderbird i just want to analyze the headers TheLordOfTime

i have a problem in ubuntu 12.10. My right click doesnt work in desktop, but works in normally in file manager part
i have a problem in ubuntu 12.10. My right click doesnt work in desktop, but works in normally in file manager part1
Wiz_KeeD, i don't know any type of software in Ubuntu to do that.  whats your goal with that?
right to click to create folder or change background like dat
i have a opensource platform that mimics a crm helpdesk solution and it uses some headers to identify which email belong to which ticket, apparently sending from mobile devices and smartphones doesn't work, so i need to find out why, what's getting lost
ok, so after 90 minutes I got win7 and ubuntu12 to ping each other. now ubuntu claims that the sharing service is not installed. Do I need that or is it optional?
samba does wundows shares Haunt_House
ah, ok
Haunt_House: fyi saying "ubuntu12" isn't really specific enough.  there is an ubuntu 12.04 and a 12.10...
12.04
grub-update doesn't find all the bootloaders in my system, how can I force it to use one I know to be there?
how can i start apache2 on ubuntu 11.10 as root
with sudo? :D
e01: why do you need to?
e01: it will seperate to be owned by root
e01: the controlling process is owned by root, it's called privilege seperation
sudo service servicename start
e01: fyi, apache STARTS as root, then properly drops to another user
can some one help me for ubuntu 12.10 installation on my ultrabook, I am unable to view installation type ?
dr_willis: because i use my personal laptop for my needs in separatated network
e01: that still doesn't mean you need to run it as root
and i am tired and always have problem with setuping access to folders for vhosts
e01: again, that won't change running it as root
e01: the internal apache permissions will still need setting up
damn... i spent 3hours just to understand why i get 403 :( and still can't
directory has permission 777
e01: I suggest you start learning how to use apache rather than trying to run it as root which will make no difference to your permission problems
okay i promise i will
don't have to promise, I don't care if you do or don't
but i have to do my current task now
cant too open of permissions trigger security features.?
dr_willis: only on things like appamour/selinux
so, any idea how to give apache full permission to read whatever it have
dr_willis: apache internally dosn't care
e01: what user is apache being run as ?
www-data
e01: where is the document root
 at /home/e01/Projects/www/p1
e01: what is the permissions of /home/e01/Projects/www/p1
drwxrwxrwx
e01: and of /home/e01/Projects
same
e01: and of /home/e01/
755
e01: and of /home/
755
e01: ok, so from a file system perspective, your permissions should be fine for the apache daemon to read the files
e01: so the problem will be the internal apache permissions/rules
Am I supposed to be using compiz with ubuntu 12.10 ?
ikonia: i know that rights are fine, taht is reason i ask how to run as root or superman or batman
heh...
ikonia: but i still get an error  pcfg_openfile: unable to check htaccess file, ensure it is readable
e01: running as root won't change anything
e01: that is a totally different error than the 403 you specificed a minute ago
e01: what's the actual problem you are trying to resolve
in every forum or tut that i was reading, everybody suggest to giving a 777
and how this will change the life
hm
please stop quoting file permissions, they are fine
ok, I'm bored of you now
good luck
e01: tell me the problem you are trying to resolve
ikonia: access the root directory for vhost
and stop gettin 403
e01: not interested,
you keep changing things in your information, so I suggest asking others in here or the #httpd channel
 Anyone familiar with state of ATI drivers on ubuntu 12.10 ?
UICTamale: in what respect "the state"
UICTamale: fglrx or radeon?
ikonia: Well, I'll start with my own observation - after upgrading from 12.04 to 12.10, using the open source radeon driver both times, I went from a very responsive and fluid compiz / unity desktop to a very unresponsive / buggy compiz/unity desktop
So, I'm curious if I should try the fglrx drivers instead
because maybe there's a known issue with the new kernel and the open source radeon drivers
is possible to use grub2 in dual boot (lin+win) without install grub2 also on the second disk?
UICTamale: works fine for me
UICTamale: well, the fglrx are provided by ati/amd, so the "state" of them is in the hands/control of ati/amd and how well they support the card you use
Sorry, state was a poor choice of words
I simply mean is there a recommendation to go along with 12.10
UICTamale: depends on the card and the functionality you want
ThinkT510: Which ATI card do you have?
UICTamale: you could always sit on 12.04, since you know your hardware works well with it.
Has anyone setup ISPconfig3 on Ubuntu Server 12.10?
mneptok: I'm wishing I had :(
snikker|2: yes
mneptok: Unfortunately, I've never successfully rolled back to a previous version of ubuntu
snikker|2, hey can you help me for installing ubuntu if you have idea about 2 hard disk?
UICTamale: because you can't roll back
UICTamale: because rollbacks are nigh impossible
can anyone recommend a good fxp client for 12.10 ?
iceroot: how? i've tried but doesn't work
Right, and thus, why I'm here now
snikker|2: grub just needs to be on the hd you are booting from. normally.
UICTamale: you could also try a DE that doesn't require compositing.
snikker|2: as dr_willis says
UICTamale: radeon hd 6320
ThinkT510: Thanks
snikker|2: i use a 2 hd setup. grub is on sdb for me
snikker|2: you usually install grub to the first drive which is normally /dev/sda
Should I be in a different channel ?
does anyone here speak spanish?  I have a user I can't communicate with effectively
linux is all on sdb. windows is all on sda
Is anyone here using 12.10 and fglrx?
UICTamale: why are you asking that ?
UICTamale: what do you expect to get ?
ikonia: Confirmation that it works?
UICTamale: the exact chipset matters
UICTamale: did you not read what I said
UICTamale: it depends on the card you want, the version you run and the support needs
Hi,recommend me a good editor,will mainly use for html/php/js & etc.. any idea
UICTamale: what are the odds that someone has the same physical card, the same version of the drivers and the same support needs as you
alabala: vim
or gedit
alabala: I liked geany
alabala: check out geany or vim
Quite good, I'd assume, when there are 1697 people here
i there a channel for questions about add on application for Ubuntu ?
UICTamale: you have to do some leg work yourself, the state/support of the versions is on the ati website,
or even emacs
UICTamale: cross-reference that
thanks guys
snikker|2, hmm...
alabala: jEdit will let you use the same GUI editor on almost any OS. excellent programmer's editor.
ikonia: Are you representative of what the IRC channel has become?  Berate people who come in asking for advice?
UICTamale: I'm not berating you
UICTamale: I've answered you and explained where to get the basic info
you've done no such thing
Does anyone know why when installing ispconfig3 you get No PHP MySQL functions available. Please ensure that the PHP MySQL module is loaded when all listed steps in guide were followed
you've essentially told me to google it and gtfo
UICTamale: it's actually helping you
mneptok, thank u :)
UICTamale: ???? I've explained that the support of the ati drivers depends on the version and the card and what functions you need support, it's not generic
UICTamale: and your chipset is?
M8900 firepro
dr_willis, iceroot: i'm under 12.10 (fresh install) i've got 2 disk (1 disk with linux and 2 with windows) if i select windows from grub2 menu i've got this error: "A disk read error has occurred Press Ctrl+Alt+Del to restrt"if i disconnect linux disk, windows boot fine
UICTamale: I've then explained that the ati website documents the versions and which cards the support, so if you cross-reference that you'll get a good idea
blah
ikonia: You think I don't know that?
ikonia: I come here looking for personal, relatable advice and experiences
UICTamale: is there a reason you've not checked it then ?
UICTamale: personal experience will depend on a lot of things
I have checked it
I've used them many times in the past
UICTamale: ok, so what versions of the drivers support your card
I've been upgrading ubuntu on laptops since breezy badger
UICTamale: ok, so what versions of the drivers support your card
...
snikker|2: ive seen some mb chipsets swap disks ariund depending on what one is set to boot.
Hi
hi were are you from
Anybody can help me with VLC everytime I pause a movie the sound get lost
snikker|2, i got some nice article maybe it will help you to solve your issue: http://www.linuxbsdos.com/2012/10/10/dual-boot-windows-7-and-ubuntu-12-04-on-a-pc-with-uefi-board-ssd-and-hdd/
snikker|2: windowsboot loader may be looking at the wrong hd. ive not had sych issues
dr_willis: with grub1 all was fine
sotiris, I'm from seden
zteam, maybe because of less ram it could happened !
dr_willis: uuid of hd is correct
no one has any advice for methen?
whats your favorite gui for ubuntu? :)
disk read error seems.. weird.
purvesh, Idon't think RAM is the problem, the computer has 4 GB of RAM
zteam, ohk...
ikonia: The exact answer is that fglrx drivers don't list support for FirePro cards, and never have
snikker|2: maybe the grub entry is trying to boot a windows from the hd where linux is installed
UICTamale: ok, so you have your answer then
ikonia: Even when they work
UICTamale: they do not support your card
snikker|2: and that will end up in a read error
i guess i wont ask a bot for its opinion xD
Geez man, why are you in here?
and i wasnot asking for "best"
How do I set the open with for an application in unity if the applicatiion is not listed?
UICTamale: so your millage with them will be the luck of the draw if there is no official support built in
iceroot: but with the right uuid should find the correct disk...
I see no way to browse the filesystem  to find it the appropriate app.
UICTamale: I wouldn't "depend" on them, I'd consider logging bugs against the problems in the open source ones and pushing to get them resolved
snikker|2: yes
snikker|2: then i am out of ideas at the moment, sorry
ikonia: Where can I do that?  Ubuntu launchpad?
iceroot: ok, thank you
UICTamale: the open source ones, yes, you can log it in launchpad or depending on where you feel the issue is directly into xorg
Has anyone been able to get ispconfig3 running in 12.10
moosec: just tell us YOUR problem
I keep getting an error No PHP MySQL functions available. Please ensure that the PHP MySQL module is loaded
moosec: have you installed and configured php with mysql support ?
I have followed the guide oh howtoforge and keep getting this error
ikonia: thanks for the help
I think so
Can someone direct me to a channel to get some information on add on applications for unbuntu
howtoforge.....that says it all
moosec: I wouldn't depend on that guide at all
moosec: firstly follow the lamp guide to get php/mysql/apache setup
moosec: that will give you a good basic platform to try to install it on
I have done that before
ceva: not sure what you mean by addons
hi guys, one short question, is there a difference between event loops in debug or release version (vs 2008 qt 4.8.3)? Because signals and slots only work in release version -.-
I will do that again and see if that helps
im new to ubuntu and I need a good fxp client
Thanks for the advise
advice
never heard of fxp.
Hmm.can anyone tell me if i can install applications like utorrent in my ubuntu computer?
sotiris: sure you can
sotiris: utorrent has a linux port. so yes
sotiris: other torrent clients exist also
i download it from the site that i download in windows?
for windows there is flashfxp.  i need one for ubuntu that allows me to login to 2 servers and xfer data between the servers without having to dl to my pc
ceva: you need to see if there is a linux port of it
there are several torrent clients in the repos.
thanks a lot :D
i mus
i havte to go
ikonia what do you mean
:/
ceva: you need to see if there is a linux version of this application you had in Windows
ceva: it's doubtful but worth a look
i dont need a torrent client
i checked
:/
ceva: I didn't say you did need a torrent client
someone else did
think he was talking tome
ceva: I didn't say you did
ceva: you are looking fora file transfer client
ceva: I said you need to see if htere is a linux version of the windows application you where using
ceva: no-one has sad anything about torrents to you,
dr_willis> there are several torrent clients in the repos.
fxp clients for linux. several google hits...
thought was to me sorry
i use transmission
but my pasteing is broke... cant paste the url.
i tried google but will try harder lol  ty nmuch
http://duncanthrax.net/profxp/
will check it out :>
have one more question though
gogled for     linux fxp client     got a dozen hits...
hi@all, i've got a problem configuring postfix as satellite. can someone help me please?
quietschie: ask the question then
is it at all possible to get the toolbar moved fromleft to bottom?
apt-cache search fxp      perhaps.
ok trying now
ceva: unity left side launcher .. not really
i upgraded to 12.10
but meh
i have a user "user" and an external email-adress my-adress@mail-provider.com, now all the mails i'm trying to send via "mail -s ..." have the sender user@mail-provider.com...but they should have my-adress@mail-provider.com
quietschie: thats nothing to do with postfix, that's your mail client
i imagine many ftp clients can do fxp also
ikonia, sorry, didn't get that right...if i want to enable my server to send mails i need a smtp server. don't i?
quietschie: yes, and postfix is your smtp server and appears to be working fine from what you are saying
Question: is sshd installed by default with ubuntu 12.04 or do i need to install openssh
ikonia would you think that ISPconfig is a good tool or do you think that there is something better to try and get running
bkfitz: normally installed by default
ikonia: do I need to enable it?
moosec: I think it's poor, I think all those tools are poor and too generic to be considered a secure platform
bkfitz: shouldn't do
after adding firmware for alteros wifi, booting is froozen. booting freezes "pcmcia_socket: IO port probe 0x3000 0x7fff
ikonia what do you recommend then?
ikonia: but i don't receive the mails, so where is then the problem, if not in my postfix configurtaion?
moosec: I recommend not using them
ikonia: how do i figure out what application has ports opened
quietschie: you didn't say you didn't get mails, you said it was sending mails but as the wrong user
bkfitz: ssh uses port 22
ikonia so you think just learn the cli is th best way?
ikonia: i know that
moosec: what ever you want
So is there no easy way to create a custom appliication launcher on the unity "bar" or whatever it is called?
hi, i have problems with VCDs in ubuntu 12.04. is there any support for it's filesystem? any hint would be appreciated :D
ikonia: which doesn't exist @mail-provider.com, and so is dismissed by the mail-provider, i guess
quietschie: right, so that's your client sending the wrong envelope
quietschie: not postfix
has anyone else got any advise about what is the best way to manage multiple domains on a server
ikonia: openssh client is shipped by default with ubuntu, but does it include open-ssh server by default?
Bijan-E_: VCDs are like DVDs, you don't typically "mount" them, you "play" them.
fego: I think it does, but I'm not %100,
Well, I have some info I could definitely report... my performance goes from nearly unusable to fluid and snappy if I unplug my external monitor
Hi all. Is any analog of windows' chkdsk utilitie in Ubuntu 12.04 and what should I use to check my hard disk if it is not any?
Bijan-E_: if you have mplayer installed, try "mplayer vcd://1" to play the 1st track
zykotick9, tried all of the players. i've got input/output errors. media and optic drive are correct
fego: ssh server not on a default dsktop install
Bijan-E_: I/O errors typically, mean problems with the media/disc
dr_willis: yea thats what i suspected
or drive and lasers.
fego: sudo apt-get install openssh-server is needed to have the ssh server
fego: only the server version has openssh-server as default (imo)
iceroot: thank you
zykotick9, yes but also may means kernel problem mounting the filesystems [i have windows on the same pc, no problem]. i was introduced to cdfs which meant to do the job but it's not for kervel 3.x anymore
ikonia: np
Bijan-E_: sorry, i don't have any further suggestions for ya.  best of luck.  i've never heard of cdfs before...
i'm using a dualscreen setup, can i turn out mouse sticking between the screens? rather annoying
dathui: theres a setting for it.. somewhere.   edge resistance  perhaps
dr_willis, found it, "sticky edges"
thanks anyhow :)
dathui it could be that you have 3d enabled I had that issue till I moved it to 2d
moosec, i turned off "sticky edges" and now it's working fine.
I am running Gnome3 with the edges enabled set at 2d and all works good for me
its a featurr.
the terminal message: "End your description with an empty line or EOF."

I'm new to linux, trying to run Ubuntu on VMWare Player--how can I improve performance in the GUI?  It's attempting various 'effects' like fade ins and so on that are probably part of why it's so slow for me..
Ok, why is it that gedit saves a different set of preferencces  if I open it from a terminal oppossed to the GUI?
fourq, open how exactly from terminal?
rumpe1: if I open sudo gedit <some_file>
fourq, because you use "sudo" and not "gksudo"
ahh
can you explain that?
ahh ubottu ty
you guys rule

http://on.fb.me/SqxBgG & http://bit.ly/TI8Rnq
enriq: super grub disk?
enriq: Unless you messed up your BIOS is what you meant, then you're mostly out of luck...
Erik_D, no no, all worked fine until altheros firmware...
enriq: What's altheros?
Erik_D, an old wifi card (in my old notebook)
odd...
hmm
enriq: live cds work?
enriq: it boots otherwise?
enriq: can you diable it in BIOS?
*disable
Erik_D, it freezes at pcmcia_socket pcmcia_socket1: cs: IO port probe 0x3000-0x7fff

Jisawesome2  better ask in #ubuntu-server
Hi there, is there any chance to find a tool to generate init.d scripts ? I have already some ruby processes and wanna start them up by putting scripts to init.d directory, is there any way to do that automatically instead of creating the bash file manually ?
Jisawesome2: offcourse you can multiple services on a server
Jisawesome2: sftp comes bundled with ssg server and you may run apache for a web server
ssh*
this channels is only ubuntu based?
can i ask something about fedora?
wheres the fedora channel?
There's a #linux channel.
IR9768: take a guess

zizi, dfefine "help"
zizi: what help?
define*
hi
i want to make install but during the ./configure i get an error
can someone to test it?
zizi, pastebin the error(s)
where is the bash history stored?
zizi, note that installing from source (.tar.gz files for example) are not necessarily 100% fully supported here.
i have a rather long list of commands i want to store in a text file for future use
zizi: what are you trying to compile?
dathui, ~/.bash_history normally
zizi, and what software are you trying to install?
dathui: ~/.bash_history
Hi
zizi: installing from tarballs are always messy,instead you can serch the software in software center in your Ubuntu install
a dymo label printer
found it, thanks folks
zizi, are you trying to install drivers?
there is not a ppa for that jov
I installed xmonad with Ubuntu 12.04, but for some reason the panel on the left with the icons doesnt show up, only the one on top. anyone has any ideas?
there is not a ppa for that job*
zizi, is there support out of the box?
zizi: device drivers are not needed a separate install, they are embedded in linux kernel,loaded as required
zizi, testing before installing may be prudent, to see if that's the case of out-of-the-box support.
stealz:  better ask on #xmonad
NewWorld, I am trying, no answer there either, but thanks
http://www.dymo-label-printers.co.uk/dymo_sdk_linux.html here is the tar.gz
stealz: the unity panel is a compiz plugin.
stealz: you want to use unity with xmonad?
dr_willis, yes, and I got it to work on another machine, but I cant access that one because its 600km away
I got the default panels, but the window tiling from xmonad, worked great
I just installed ubuntu for the first time (v 12.10).  How do I disable Unity and enable a more lightweight gui?  All the instructions I find refer to options that are no longer present in 12.10, apparently
stealz: you may have used unity2d
dr_willis, I am using unity2d already even on this machine, but the panel wont show :S
adamgolding: just install the other wm or desktop. select it at login screen...
I can't select anything like that at the login screen
I don't see the toolbar they say should be there
should i paste here what i get?
adamgolding: lubuntu-desktop is nice
are there any ubuntu packages in the repositories that include the mysql ndb engine?
adamgolding, you have to install something first. like xubuntu-desktop, lubuntu-desktop, fluxbox, kde
I guess I will try redoing the xmonad.hs from scratch, maybe that helps
kde is not lightweight though
adamgolding: what did you install?
dr_willis: nothing, this is a fresh install
it's running in vmware player, and I installed the vmware tools, that's all
What's the best destop environment to use on ubuntu?  KDE?
ubuntu 12.10 desktop amd64
adamgolding:  so install lubuntu-desktop perhaps...
\server #darth-fansub@recycled
Vooch: the one you like best
adamgolding, i'm using something that looks like the old gnome... i forget what it's called though
thanks for the tips
dr_willis: how?  I'm totally new to linux here
Vooch: I'm not a big fan of the way the ubuntu gnome desktop has been going, I'm finding KDE works quite well
sudo apt-get install lubuntu-desktop      adamgolding
is one way
OK I know this is a strange request, but I already have Gentoo with Grub1 installed on my laptop and I am installing Ubuntu on a seperate partition, what would I have to add to the grub menu.list in order to boot Ubuntu from the Gentoo bootloader?
neodragon, let grub autoupdate?
neodragon, there should be a command to force grub  to update and ndetect other OSes.
chain loading grub2 on the ubuntu partion may be the way to go neodragon
dr_willis: I was thinking chainloading would be the way to go, what would I put in the grub menu.list to do that
no idea. not used grub1 in years
grub1 docs should show examples
ikonia: so how can i confirm that sshd is installed...
hi, i have a speaker - microphone namely Chat50 ClearOne connected to my laptop using usb. The device is recognised, i used alsamixer to unmute it, but i cannot get it record my voice. Can anyone help me? I'm using Lubuntu 12.10.
bkfitz: check in the package manager
bkfitz: the package is openssh-server
ikonia: ok thx
I found it in the grub documentation
hey folk. I need help. I am trying to boot ubuntu 12.04 and Solaris 11. But I cant find out how to do it. ubuntu grub doesnt show solaris 11. any help?
What a pain in the butt.!!!!
ikonia: apparently it's not installed by default...
ikonia: huh
bkfitz: ok, and ?
bkfitz, openssh-server isnt supposed to be installed by default afaik, so what's the problem here?
s/here//
hi
bkfitz, once you install openssh-server sshd'll run
Hello.
TheLordOfTime: ok... i wasn't sure and didn't want to install opensshd if some other ssh daemon was already installed
USB-CREATOR-KDE doesnt work properlly, its impossible to add an .iso to burn, in cli appears: QInotifyFileSystemWatcherEngine::addPaths: inotify_add_watch failed: No such file or directory
bkfitz, just install openssh-server, it'll install the relevant packages.
I installed Hybryde evolution the other day.. And I can't get sound to work.. Could I get some assistance?
simplew, sounds like a bug.
I'm having this issue where the terminal and most things that don't have their own text rendering don't render text.
TheLordOfTime: working great now
Instead, I get the white squares that usually show up when you don't have fonts installed.
TheLordOfTime: can you try reproduce?
simplew, i'm not on KDE, so no.  Nor am I on an Ubuntu system at this moment.  that does look like a bug, or something's broken, though.  i'm not one to debug that though.
simplew, remember, not everyone here runs every package (if you're using the KDE version, as a Kubuntu user to confirm)
(or file a bug)
hi, i have a speaker - microphone namely Chat50 ClearOne connected to my laptop using usb. The device is recognised, i used alsamixer to unmute it, but i cannot get it record my voice. Can anyone help me? I'm using Lubuntu 12.10.
TheLordOfTime: usb-creator-kde onnly requires this ->  Depends: python2.7, python (>= 2.7.1-0ubuntu2), python (<< 2.8), usb-creator-common (= 0.2.40ubuntu1), python-kde4, python-qt4-dbus
TheLordOfTime: i dont see there any kde specific package
adamgolding, I finally found it!!
http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-install-classic-gnome-desktop-in-ubuntu-12-04-precise.html
oh, cool
adamgolding, it's nice, I love using it.
at this point I'm downloading the lubuntu iso
simplew, python-kde4  <-- that pulls in KDE runtime stuff, and qt4 stuff.
TheLordOfTime: and the same happens in USB-CREATOR-GTK since its the same
adamgolding, ... well. If you don't like it. I'm always called [snake] on here. but I might not be on. maybe save the link just in case.
Hi, i try to make an update and it hangs on: update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-3.5.0-18-generic
simplew, if its reproducable in all of them, then you hsould still file a bug about it.  that sounds like something is broken in the package, but again i can't test or confirm since i'm not on Ubuntu right now.
it never finishes; i'm on ubuntu 12.10. how to fix it ?
[snake]:  yeah I bookmarked it
but ubuntu was already so surprisingly slow in VMWare I decided to go for an entirely lightweight version of ubuntu
adamgolding, well in that case... lxde is great!
Hi all! I have Ubuntu on both host and VM. But their dates are different even though ntp is installed. When I say ntpdate, I get: 6 Nov 16:13:30 ntpdate[17834]: no servers can be used, exiting  Any suggestions?

All the damn examples use ALL and don't say which ALL means what.
jhutchins_wk: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sudoers     might be a good read
fego: How much you want to bet there isn't one example in there that doesn't use ALL?
Yep, nothing but all.

Ok, I think I got it.  The command was /sbin/sysctl -w "net.ipv4.tcp_window_scaling=0".  It works if I remove the quoted arguments.
jhutchins_wk, you want to exclude certain commands from needing a sudo password?

john_doe_jr: what program?
my update-initramfs hangs on Adding module /lib/modules/3.5.0-17-generic/kernel/drivers/gpu/drm/udl/udl.ko ... how can i fix it ?
dr_willis: fullrecall-linux.bin
hanning: let "lastrun=`date '+%s'` + 10" maybe
john_doe_jr:  my guess would be it was compiled to use that specific  version and dosent like a newer version of the lib
looks like that is going to set the var, i just want to compare it inside an if statement
the !find http://libX11.so/ is not working on my computer
hanning: ((`date '+%s'` + 10)) ?
  the ! commands are bot triggers for here on irc
hm
folks, how can i open applications via command line
hanning: can you check something like [ $lastrun -le ((`date '+%s'` + 10)) ]
the command  'locate libX11.so' hsould find the file on your system
lastleo85:  a specific app you mean?
any application dr_willis if you can mention the synta
lastleo85:  just type the name of the executablr
ie:  'gedit' or 'gno,e-terminal'
dr_willis thats it?
lastleo85:  errr.. what more would you expect? ;)
some menu items may not have the same name as the executable.
dr_willis alright, let me try
dr_willis alright, suppose if i wanna open Thunderbird
i dont know the binary name for thunderbird
dr_willis alright, what command will i type?
it may be 'thunderbird'
is somebody can help me please, my update-initramfs hangs on: Adding module /lib/modules/3.5.0-17-generic/kernel/drivers/gpu/drm/udl/udl.ko ... how can i fix it ?
a look at the Thunderbird.desktop' file may show exactly how its being launched
dr_willis alright, thanks!
#blender
hello, i've got a little problem with xubuntu. On my desktop are 2 shortcuts of the same partition of the hdd. How can i delete 1??
hey guys, bit of a noob at this. mount --bind does just what I want, but removes on restart. How can i have that but working when i reboot too?
#blender
although i can run an executable file click on it, if i make a new item in my xubuntu panel this program doesn't start and gives me error:finding bound package/error:initialising projector. why? how can i make it start form my panel button?
Jayflux:  make an entry for it in /etc/fstab is one way
Hello!
I have got installation problems with ubuntu.
Jayflux:  why are you using the mount bind featurs anyway/
because my users are in a chrooted enviroment and sym links don't work dr_willis
not sure what the syntax for a mount bind, would be in fstab. alternative way would be putting the ocmmand in rc.local
how can i share my screen to mac?
a vnc client
lastleo85:  vnc is one way.
i think that this program is a java one? does this help to solve my issue?
and at the same time avoid lag dr_willis
avoid lag = use x forwarding with ssh to show a  single app on the mac desktop. not the whole ubuntu desktop
theres also freenx, and rdp
anyone firmiliar with lubuntu?
Hello. That might be a Firefox-specific question, but I'm not sure. For some time now whenever I doubleclick links (to mark them for copying) a small context-menu pops open showing these entries: "Open With Firefox", "Open with Opera", "Send Url", "Open with Mozilla". I think I saw it in other apps than Firefox but I'm not sure. Does anybody know where this is coming from? I can't remember installing an
extension that does something like that. Plus, it wouldn't make sense for a Firefox-extension to show an entry to open a url with the browser the url was marked in...
cairne:  its very popular.. so just ask the question
how come whenever I am asked to upgrade, usually a kernal upgrade, it breaks grub and I have to do the boot repair each time with the live cd
is there some way to list currently connected printers from the command line?
not so much of an annoyance for me, but I want to set up lubuntu on a friends computer to breather new life into it and I know they will not be able to handle fixing it each time
nemik:  theres various lp* commands
cairne:  i dont have that issue on lubuntu here
cairne:  what specifically breaks with grub?
dr_willis: it just will boot into grub recovery, and only way to get into lubuntu or windows is using the live cd again and repairing the boot
it just may be a quirk/issue on your machine. not theirs
well thats good to know, it is a fairly bad laptop hence having to use lubuntu not regular ubuntu on it
ciao a tutti
qualche italiano?
freeNX works on MAC? dr_willis
dr_willis: ah thanks, i'll look into those.
lastleo85:  no idea. i wont touch a mac
btw dr_willis what method would you recommend for printing from the command line, like a large full-sized JPG. lpr?
Im having this few dual screen . im having twin screen and my VGA is nVidia . but when I turn on full screen and and I do something on the other screen it comes back to the normal screen

dr_willis: np, seems lp will do that fine
anyone for me ?
becom33:  its a little confuseing what you said.
with some apps on nvidia twinview if i fullscreen firefor/flash and click on the other desktop it will unfullscreen.. due to how flash is written
other apps might fullscreen to the wrong  monitor. again i recall firefox doing this
but chromium-browser did not
dr_willis, Im having two screens . but when I put on screen on full screen . for a example movie . and when I start to do somthing on the other screen the full screen player turns back to normal size
Hi all -- is there a way to duplicate a python install w/ all its dependencies from one machine to another? (I realize this sounds a little wierd...)
becom33:  what movie player?
mregg1: look into virtual-env for python
dr_willis, well VLC . but its not just vlc . also flash player and vmware full screen also exits
vlc worked fine for me last i tried it with twinview.
has anyone ever seen a cursor appear but the login prompt never appear? like the mouse moves but nothing is going on... Ctrl+F1-6 allow me to switch to other ttys fine, but where is the login?
and by cursor, I mean the arrow
zivester:  if the login manager hung, that would look somthing like that.
dr_willis, so why do u think am I having that problem :/
zivester:  try 'sudo service lightdm stop' then 'startx' at the conosle
it happens 50% of the time... the other 50% it works fine... is there anyway to figure out what is going on? this is a fresh install of 12.10
on xubuntu, if that matters
becom33:  some apps dont play nicely with multimonitors/twinview/xinerams
I'm trying to add a printer but the Add button is disabled. Inserting an address, can't seem to advance. Any hints ?
network printer
dr_willis, what I notised is my side menu thing . the dork thing comes to the front on when I do somthing on the other screen
becom33:  ive only noticed it with flash videos (even on windows) and a few apps.
g0bl1n:  try the cups web interface perhaps.  http://127.0.0.1:631
good one dr_willis ;-)
i never use the gui config tools for cups ;)
dr_ you also helped me I was looking for cups too :D
Hello!
Is here anyone?
cups ia amazeing. ;)
dr_willis: Hello!#
klausl:  what if 1000 people say no. ;)
dr_willis:Please help me!
klausl what's your problem?
ubottu: Are you a supporter?
wbf: Are you a supporter?
wbf: Because I will need a supporter.
klausl:  state the question.......
I can`t install Ubuntu.
The Installation fails.
error.
With what error?
wbf: I can`t install it.
It says you cant?
wbf: I mean I can`t boot.
Oh
wbf: I can`t  boot from my Hard drive.
wbf: It says.
Really?
cant boot the cd? usb? dvd? cant boot after you install?
Is this a fresh install or a non-fresh install?
wbf: Windows 7 is on.
wbf: On the c hard drive.
Why when I go to myaddress/phpmyadmin does it say the page is not found? http://survival.spartanmc.net/phpmyadmin and it says it's not found, there is nothing about phpmyadmin in my www folder but it is installed correctly, what have I done wrong?
wbf: Then I install the bootloader from the CD.
klausl are you trying to install alongside or Over?
Is there a way to set the Gnome Terminal window-title automatically to the app currently running? For example, make it show "weechat" as the title, as soon as I start it?
wbf: As second os
does anyone here know anything about truecrypt?
wbf: On my another hard drive.
oh klaus as second os?
Mrokii:  the  bash prompt i recall had some ways to do that. but i think it does set the title to weechat here... not on my pc right now so cant check
wbf: Yes.
Yes, should be a bash command
hi guys do you know how to open par2?
clemi:  ived used winrar in wine befor for unusual rar formats.
wbf: I tried to install it with Sun Virtual Box.
i do
dr_willis: Thanks, maybe I can find something in regards to the Bash-prompt. Here, all my terminal windows just show "terminal" which is annoying.
klausl can you boot windows 7?
should i encrypt the filesystem before or after i install ubuntu?
i want to encrypt the entire filesystem with 256 bit AES encryption
Mrokii:  i tend to use terminator also. so it may be a different default setting then gnome-shell
use truecrypt
wbf: Yes.
is there something else than winrar
clemi: 7zip
klaus sprichst deutsch
yes have installed it
clemi: what is it you are trying to accomplish?
Guys, I am running ubuntu 12.10, after a system update, I lost wireless connection(I did not tried wired connection) any help
clemi: Ja!
clemi!
Ja!
crackerjackz i use usenet
Ich spreche deutsch!!!!!!!!!
klausl: virtualbox isn't that good of hardware emu anyway... lemme show you how to do it so that ubuntu can boot
dr_willis: I don't use terminator. And I just realised that it may not even work as I want to as I usually start weechat from within "screen", so that may be the title the window will be set to. I'll have to try.
klausl: have you burnt an install disk yet?
wbf: Yes!
clemi: so should i setup truecrypt before or after i install ubuntu?
i want to encrypt the entire filesystem
Anyone know when Steam for Linux will be released? I heard it was supposed to be released today.
crackerjackz: you can encrypt after, which may be easier since it will adjuct the boot partition.
SuperDefenderX: The rumour says today.
klausl: ok then boot your pc off the disk not just virtualbox, I'll tell you how.
Mrokii: that may be why i recall it working by default that way. i dont use screen inside gnome-terminal
wbf: Moment!
wbf: I am telling you again.
doesnt matter just encrypts everything
klausl: you want only virtualbox?
wbf: No!
dnewkirk: should i do anything special or anything i should keep in mind when im creating my partitions?
cracker may i pm you?
Anyone!?, I am running ubuntu 12.10, after a system update, I lost wireless connection(I did not tried wired connection) any help
clemi: sure
crackerjackz: No, you should be fine. I'm assuming that you'll encrypt the entire drive, which should be pretty straightforward, if not taking some time. Oh, and make a backup beforehand ;).
klaus: seh ich das richtig, dass du ubuntu neben win7 installiert hast und jetzt bootet es nicht?
klausl: so you basically want it to really boot off ubuntu and windows 7 as well? 2 hard drives? easy :D all you have to do is go into your pc's BIOS, then change the boot order so cd is first then boot off the cd then install ubuntu alongside windows 7 but on the other drive, and make it boot off windows 7 drive first after so that grub comes up and you have a choice
abdostar: Don't know if that helps, but did you try reinstalling network-manager?
dnewkirk: and no one will be able to mount the file system or boot the OS with out the key right?
klausl: also this article might help :D http://askubuntu.com/questions/193807/installing-ubuntu-on-one-of-two-hard-drives
Mrokii: no, how can I do that?
hey guys. is anyone able to help with a quick script question? very basic
abdostar: I think you can chose the live-CD as a source as well, from aptitude, so you should (hopefully) be able to reinstall the network-manager.
can someone help me with my par2 problem ?
the rar tools may handle pars also
crackerjackz: Yes. I mispoke when I said that it will adjust the boot partition (sorry, coffee hasn't kicked in). I meant to say that it will install it's own boot loader on the first track of the drive. It has a bootloader that will appear first, requiring a password before anything else. Apart from someone taking the drive out of the machine and running a hack tool (or having a backdoor), you're ok.
can anyone tell me how to make this work, i wish to loop a simple menu.
while [ $choice ~= "x" or "X" ]
thx
Are there any tablets that are sold with ubuntu (or other linux distros) natively on them
abdostar: Also, maybe the package is still in the cache if you haven't emptied that or have Synaptic configured to keep it.
wbf?
rather, while [ $choice != "x" or "X" ]
dnewkirk: i want to make it impossible for someone to view the contents of the drive
b0ot: nit that ive heard of.... yet
hi
b0ot: there was a kde tablet rumors a few months back.
SuperDefenderX: http://www.gamingonlinux.com/index.php?threads/steam-for-linux-to-go-live-today.1139/ There's a time mentioned here, though I'm not sure what time zone that is atm. :)
dr_willis, how depressing there isn't one availabe yet
b0ot: There's no Ubuntu tablets, although Nexus 7 (and every other Android tablet) is linux and can have Ubuntu installed
b0ot: ask in #ubuntu-arm
hey all, i have a smb share mounted via cifs, and whenever i change my network connection or something it hangs if i type df or something like that... how do i make this better?
DJones, but then you need to do hardware modifications etc
ubuntu in a vm on android can work
boot from my ubuntu what i must to do to listen the voice of video
DJones, sorry not hardware mods, but manually reload the OS.
because i am new
crackerjackz: the contents of the drive are impossible to interpret without the key. Encryption is the highest form of security that one can have apart from physical security of the machine. Once the machine is running, then you can get hacked and have information stolen of course, but the encryption protects the contents of a drive were your machine stolen.
crackerjackz: if you're going to encrypt your homedir, make sure you've got plenty of drives to back up onto
crackerjackz: you should do a full backup once a day
and put the passphrase on a stickynote on the mmonitor...    :)
hi
there someone from greece
trying to add teamviewer7 to startup nothing works
it needs to run as root
Hey fellas. How do I set a custom WM w in lightdm?
gustav__  lightdm lets you select DE's, not WM's
gustav__: each session has a whatever.desktop file. look at   ubuntu.desktop  for example
lizardbrain: it shouldn't need to run as root...
gordonjcp it does
locate ubuntu.desktop
dr_willis: Thx.
lizardbrain: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-install-team-viewer-version-7-on-ubuntu-12-04-precise-pangolin.html
lizardbrain: ^ that doesn't look like it needs to be run as root
because it doesn't worked
MonkeyDust: Difference is not always so clear.
webupd8 or omgubuntu had a guide on custom sessions
tried it yesterday
and when running teamviewer from command line you have to sudo or it fails with permission denied
dr_willis: lpstat lists printers but if one is connected over USB, if i disconnect it, it's still fine to lpstat. how could i detect if it's actually connected or not?
you should use gksudo for gui apps.
lizardbrain: it probably depends on what it's actually failing on, then
nemik: not sure. mine are all networked these days.
gordonjcp read comments on page you linked
lizardbrain: you could use strace to see where it actually gets the permission denied error, and see if you can tweak its permissions
that might be the wrong channel for that question, but i try anyway: is there a way to copy the text from an openoffice document into a simple txt, just losing all formating?
lizardbrain: I have neither the time nor inclination
is there a way to use the terminal to move all the contents of a folder to its parent folder?
lizardbrain: I don't use teamviewer and I don't really see the point of it
Why when I go to myaddress/phpmyadmin does it say the page is not found? http://survival.spartanmc.net/phpmyadmin and it says it's not found, there is nothing about phpmyadmin in my www folder but it is installed correctly, what have I done wrong?
gordonjcp do you know of something better?
gordonjcp: The point of TeamViewer...?
lizardbrain:  how were you auto running it?
lizardbrain: for what?
lizardbrain: I mean, what exactly are you trying to solve?
cuddylier: I'll solve this one for you
Anyone here familiar with Nagios
dr_willis i tried sleep 30 && /usr/bin/teamviewer7 in /etc/rc.local and tried .config/autostart
dnewkirk: gordonjcp ty
gordonjcp trying to remote desktop a machine behind a firewall
i mean i could install openvpn and just standard lan remote desktop software, if you know of something decent
lizardbrain: its a gui app so rc.local wiuld never work.....
dr_willis thats what i thought but someone here told me to try it
lizardbrain: what did you do exactly in what autostart dir?
dr_willis i used the gui
i recall telling you rc.local wont work. ;-)
yeah then someone else told me it would
who knows in here lol
lizardbrain: what gui? details please.
autostart manager
just in case anyone else needs it, this works: lpinfo -v | grep -ir "direct usb" it'll return a 0 if found and 1 otherwise
make a script to launch it.. see if that works.. then put the script in the autostart dir.
tried that too
lizardbrain: if it's getting permission denied errors, there will be a specific resource it cannot get at
example script..   3 lines...   #!/bin/bash     sleep 30    gksudo theapp
lizardbrain: run it with strace and see where it fails.  This will be pretty scary and technical.
G2 you there?
yeah ScotG, IM me.
actually
teamviewer wont run unless a user is logged in
and i can't leave the computer open
so can't use it
what else is there
where are you from
sotiris: This is a support channel, if you're just looking to chat, there is #ubuntu-offtopic
lizardbrain: it depends what you're trying to do
lizardbrain: you could try tunneling X over SSH
yeah that was the plan yesterday boss didnt go for it
lizardbrain: in any case, if you're trying to use GUI apps remotely, chances are you're Doing It Wrong
Does anyone know how to send files on this program?
lizardbrain: what *exactly* is the problem you're trying to solve with this?
gordonjcp using vmware workstation remotely
and i know im doing it wrong
ScotG2: most irc clients have a dcc feature
i am doing what i am being paid and told
What's that doc?
so right or wrong is irrelevant
vmware has a remote  client
lizardbrain: well, you'll either have to spend money or leave the machine logged in
ScotG2: a way to send files
spending money is not a problem
in fact i would prefer to offload this to someone else
That's what I'm trying to do.
there someone here to speak greek
ScotG2: dropbox or other ways are easier...
on the IM window, I clicked the send file button.
ScotG2: dcc sending of files can be.... annoying.
im window? what client?
I'm using the Gaim program.
you may want to use a better irc client.
can I send you something and you let me know if it worked dr?
nope. im on my phone.
ok
after my receiver accepts, the file transfer window opens but nothing happens.
the dcc sending can get stopped by routers and firewalls.
ok
wow why is Skype for linux so poor
Linkandzelda: In what way? Works quite decently over here
small userbase
Linkandzelda: its owned by Microsoft
Linkandzelda, works fine here.
freeNX works on MAC? dr_willis
Linkandzelda: it works fine for me
it's just a bit awkward to use, notifications are not integrated, it doesnt have any "real" menus, just an indicator icon. part from that it works but the experieince isnt as good as windows and mac
maybe im just complaining
lastleo85: no idea. i wont own a mac ever again.
Hello, since one or two day now, I've been unable to launch rhythmbox, the program seem to be segfaulting segfault. Using Ubuntu 12.10 on 32bits. Can someone help me ?
http://paste.ubuntu.com/1337915/
but i just got home to a bunch of crashed applications and a slow system, so lol
Linkandzelda, you should have seen what it looked like before being owned by Microsoft. Beta for almost 2 years
DX099: damn lol, well guess I should be happy then
Linkandzelda, plus we don't get the spam while people on Windows do.
i got a skype wifi phone.... years ago. ;-)  wonder if it would still work.
hehe
btw, does anyone know if AWN is better than Cairo dock? with ram usage, stability, community support, addons etc?
how can i copy the raw text from an openoffice document into a txt?
amogorkon_, select all, copy, paste in normal text editor?
my apt cache is getting f*cked up apparently. I had to kill some apt processes becaues they were stuck in the background and locking the apt lock file... now some stuff looks corrupt. is there a tool to check hte integrity ?
Seveas, doesn't work.. :/
http://paste.ubuntu.com/1337915/ besides, I think the fault happens somewhere after line 80483. Anyone got a clue ?
hello all. How do I check the amount of space available in /
Darkstar1, df -h
amogorkon_: open document, save as "text (*.txt)"
damn..!! 100%
EnginA, what does 'sudo apt-get install --reinstall xterm' say? Pastebin the output
llutz, thanks :)
i didn't think of that
m(
hm
okay, nvm my question, actually it does work now again, after i closed the different editors
Darkstar1, an easy win is probably 'sudo apt-get clean'. Then use 'sudo baobab' to find out what's eating your disk
possibly a problem with the paste mechanism
*shrug*
and now it blocks again.. i don't get it. i'll try to export :/
at least that works
hi
yes
is any one there
no
Nothing to see here.
move along
what software are you lot using
I'm going to go out on a limb and say Ubuntu.
Seveas: Thanks. I'll try that now
 im using ubuntu dark
Pici, actually, windows 8
hi everyone
Seveas: baobab just gave me errors
Darkstar1, did you run it with sudo?
yeah
pastebin the errors
I had a kernel panic: panic occured,switching back to text console
Seveas: http://fpaste.org/PCeZ/
hmm
and than find in dmsg this init: failsafe main process (675) killed by TERM signal
were you already root in that terminal?
don`t reconize the router?
Can I set xbiff to work with my Thunderbird mailbox setup?
Any kind of small mail indication will work.
Seveas: ran it with sudo
Seveas: not logged into root shell
Darkstar1: 1) where you in Xorg?  2) don't use sudo with GUI apps!  use gksudo instead.
nah. this is a remote
Darkstar1, ah, that explains :)
Darkstar1: so you'd need "ssh -X foo" assuming ssh access
remote dedicated
Darkstar1, then you need to use du -sh
I generally start with sudo du -sh /* and dig into the ones taking most space
df -h actually works
Hi all. I'm running Ubuntu 11.04 server in an OpenVZ container, accessing it via SSH. I'm trying to use su instead of sudo to access root, which I know is not how Ubuntu does things usually, butwhich is what I prefer
Darkstar1, yeah, but that's per mountpoint, du is per folder
ah
and indeed, I do so on other servers running 11.04 in OpenVZ frequently. But for some reason, when I try to use su here, I get authentication failure no matter what. I know the password is correct, but it always fails
Ivraatiems, the only reason for that to fail is that you used an incorrect rootpassword. Try sudo and reset the rootpassword.
Seveas the root password is correct. I literally changed it to "test" via a root SSH login, then used su, and it failed
if you can ssh as root, inspect /var/log/syslog to find out why su failed
I don't need help setting a password. I know how to do that; the password is set.
zykotick9, we know... Read Ivraatiems complete messages.
Ivraatiems: also, keep in mind 11.04 isn't supported anymore.  See ubottu about upgrading once you sort this out
jrib I shall. Right now, gotta get this working...
Hi all. I downloaded this drivers to install in backtrack http://www.broadcom.com/support/802.11/linux_sta.php
im trying to install ANSY 14 in ubuntu 12.04 anyune can help me
But i have no clue how to install it because all the information that i find is to enter in the folder but when i extract the tar file it shows me 2 folders so i have no clue how to install it
Seveas nothing in syslog about it, however, there are entries in auth.log
I'll pastebin them
http://paste.ubuntu.com/1337915/ besides, I think the fault happens somewhere after line 80483. Anyone got a clue ?
Ivraatiems, ah yeah, 11.04 still had a sane log setup
Seveas http://pastebin.com/dwxPWTqq
im trying to install ANSYS 14 in ubuntu 12.04 anyone can help me???
Seveas bearing in mind again that the password IS correct.
Ivraatiems, did you muck about with your pam config? Are you using that password for your ssh-as-root sessions?
Seveas yes I am, and no, I haven't.
try whether that works, also try `su -` as root
if both of those fail, your pam config is busted
I can run su fine as root
and I can login to SSH as root
(which is what I am trying to avoid in the end, ironically :P)
with the password?
yep. the password I set.
k, pastebin the output of this: more /etc/pam.d/* | cat
Seveas http://pastebin.com/cnRpHBBx
hola
what does nomachine do?
damn, why does dropbox fail to work almost 99% of the time :(
Hey guys...I use RDP from Linux into my windows work PC. but now that I have cisco VPN on windows pc, I am unable to RDP into there even from my local network sitting on the same network. Wondering if there was a way to allow connections from internal networking. I understand VPN on windows makes me look like I am sitting on internal CORP network so this is why its blocking it
Hey guys...I use RDP from Linux into my windows work PC. but now that I have cisco VPN on windows pc, I am unable to RDP into there even from my local network sitting on the same network. Wondering if there was a way to allow

                network so this is why its blocking it
oops
Ivraatiems, after reading that pam config all I can think of is "no dude, your password is wrong" :/
Seveas yeah, except it isn't...
Ivraatiems, or your keyboard layout is screwing with you. Try typing your password in your shell and see if it comes out right
it's literally just the word "test"
(no quotes)
and I'm entering it to login to SSH
hey, i've mounted my usb stick to /media/manufacturer .. I can read the files .. but how do I change one of the filenames and write those back to the usb stick?
Ivraatiems, create a new user and try to su - from that user. Maybe it's something odd about the minecraft user.
Seveas Huh. that worked.
so why is the Minecraft user hated...
ah, we're getting somewhere
Guys, I saw there was a zram0 on my ubuntu precise. I did not set it up, it set from the instalantion. How do I remove it?
what groups is it member of?
Seveas just "minecraft" XD
and the new user?
Seveas the same, except with the new user's name
ak
so where groups minecraft returns "minecraft : minecraft" groups newuser returns "newuser : newuser"
Ivraatiems, did you muck about in /etc/security by any chance?
not that I can think of, no.
Guys, I saw there was a zram0 on my ubuntu precise. I did not set it up, it set from the instalantion. How do I remove it?
Ivraatiems, then I'm out of ideas and going back to my original assumption that you can't spell :P
lol but I can! clearly I can since I got in through the other account
I wonder if I ought to just kill the Minecraft account and make it anew
very selective dyslexia :)
maybe that'll help
yep - removing the account and recreating it worked
hi guys
how unusual
seveas thanks very much for your help
np
in thunderbird when the message list is not focused it is very difficult to see which message is selected because the select higlight color is gray and the message list is gray and white
how do i make it visible more
I am having a monstrous time keeping cups running!  12.04lts,LTSP 5, CUPS 1.5.3.  Can ANYONE help please
looking for someone who usuing gobi 2000 5620 mini card !
*using
hi guys im new at using linux and ubuntu just trying to work things out
Libre office seems to be crashing CUPS without an error.
is there a good place to go to learn terminal code?
nothing in the cups logs?
Nothing in cups logs
wastrel: i believe what you are wanting to change is your 'theme'
thx for the quick responce
blakes: cups may have more verbose logging options.
Certain jobs seem to hang the printer indefinitely, while others disappear from the queue, while others print perfectly. CUPS web interface crashes and times out
that is verry weird. cups is normally rock solid for me.
yeah, I've never had cups crash
is it maybe running out of memory?
wonder if theres not a deeper problem.
what can i do to speed up the time it takes for ubuntu to boot?
blakes: one option, purge cups, re-install cups
blakes, anything relevant in /var/log/syslog?
crackerjackz, get a faster computer or faster disks
my cups error_log is here http://pastebin.com/erGJMUrg
crackerjackz: boots in like 10 sec here. gota love  ssd
Seveas: there has to be stuff i can disable or something thus making it faster to boot
dr_willis: what did you do to make it boot so fast?
I have reinstalled cups.  Have a 8 processor server with 64 GB ram
crackerjackz: you should be booting about 1 a month, otherwise let it sleep or hibernate
crackerjackz: b9ught a ssd hard drive.
Not running out of memory
almoxarife: they are laptops
crackerjackz: you should be booting about 1 a month, otherwise let it sleep or hibernate, lappys included
ssd <3
laptops tend to use slower hds also.
so is there anything i can tweak at all to make it boot faster?
crackerjackz: disable services perhaps. but i bet it wont be noticeable speed gains
I even tried to move print services onto 10.04LTS server to off-load main LTSP server, but only certain applications would acknowledge the presence of those entries on the network
crackerjackz: install 'bootchart' , figureout what are the time killers, perhaps they can be kept from the boot-up process
doubt it :)
crackerjackz, disabling IPv6 saved me 9 seconds boottime
hi, my wifi connection works fine, but without any explanation, the ubuntu network manager shows a declining power signal, when nothing moved the netbook from its original place
hello
OerHeks: how do i disable ipv6?
any xubuntu guys in here? :)
Hi guys
whats up?
haroldo: lots of factors affect wifi strength, motors, lighting, other radios, etc
Any more help on the printing issue?
hey guys... how do I disable the screen locking on Precise?
crackerjackz: disable ipv6 at the kernel option
Anybody know when it's going to be released?
Yuioup: what?
Steam for Linux
ESphynx: its in the system settings.. somewhere
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.screensaver lock-enabled false  -- would that be the way? Why is there no 'Screensaver' GUI in preferences anymore?
Yuioup: no..
dr_willis : i've looked for ages
Ok. Just wondering.
ESphynx: theres a check box somewhere. power settings perhaps.
not on a ubuntu box to lok...
look
brightness and Lock
I see it.
thanks.
seems... obvious ;-)
Too obvious I guess =)
I was looking for screensaver :P
however 'brightness and lock'
my mind stopped reading after brightness
the hud search feature can find some of those settings.
that command toggled that switch =)
If I just type 'lock' it does
searching for 'screensaver' however only bring 'lock screen'
hud is handy.
screensavers have been slowly phased out over the years..
almoxarife: yes I know, but here there is no such thing. It happens always after connection: the signal commences strong, and then in two minutes is shown diminished. I hoped it had to do with power saving issues
wonder if anyone can help, I have a laptop where my Del key doesnt work at all
hey
this is the 1st time i used a terminal and i have to say its a bit strange i feel like i just got magic abilitys that i didnt know i had, i feel like the apprentice
haroldo: i don't discount power-saving settings affecting your wifi connection, are you running in some sort of batt saver mode?
does anyone know hw 2 setup wi-fi hotspot on hp pavilion dv5 1007 ax laptop??
Guest87448:  find the book "using bash"  its a must read. ;-)
does anyone know hw 2 setup wi-fi hotspot on hp pavilion dv5 1007 ax laptop??
does anyone know hw 2 setup wi-fi hotspot on hp pavilion dv5 1007 ax laptop??
swapnil: alright already
almoxarife: not that I know of
one way to get on /ignore swapnil
almoxarife: u knw hw 2 do it?
haroldo: easy check, stay plugged in to hardwire
what can you do if you tested mapping of keys with xev but there is no response for the Del key?
almoxarife: it happens either way
swapnil: no, its called 'adhoc'
wat?
with ubuntu 12.04, i get a dialog that popped up to install unsupported nvidia software so my dual monitors worked. with a 12.11 clean install i'm not getting that dialog and not sure how to get my dual monitors working again. can i be pointed to the right direction?
rsumi: its in a tab under software sources  tool   i belive
or just install the nvidia-current  package. ;-)
haroldo: besides the visual telling you your connection is not all that pretty, does it seem like your connection is lagging in anyway? i got a rooted-kindle pretty much next to the router and i see less than a perfect strength indication, i don't know if it's a kirk of the new software but i also don't see any less thru put over the wifi
i don't get 'leet' , i must be old
Hello, I've just installed the latest udates(linux kernel, I believe) and now my computer won't boot up.
Actually, it does start, but gpu drivers are never loaded(fans at 100%) and I have a square in the center of the screen with visible space, I can also tell that the resolution is messed up because the mouse pointer is huge.
how would i get the output of 'top' to pastebin?
almoxarife: top -n 1 | pastebinit
thats "minus n one".
Chotaz: bekks: almoxarife: top -n 1 | pastebinit <-- do that, like the man said :)
bekks:  "top -bn1"   "-n1" would only print the first page of processes
llutz: that's plenty
almoxarife: pastebin the output of top?
Chotaz: yeap
Chotaz: you said you are at 100% cpu, lets see what is eating up cycles
llutz: Cool. Nice to know :)
do i need anti virus on ubuntu if im going to use peer to peer sharing? like torrents
almoxarife: btw, remember helping me with making sure a secondary hdd was mounted before launching my torrent's dawmon? that's did not work :-
dr_willis: where is that sources tab?
almoxarife:  http://paste.ubuntu.com/1338103/
just using torrents is not a risk Guest87448
Hi people. Got a problem with installation of Proftpd on LTS 12.4. I get : Neither inetd nor xinetd appears installed: check your configuration. I'm fairly sure inetd was - but I'm a bit confused now. Any pointers? Thanks.
rsumi: i belive the "software sources" tool in the menus. then like the 4th tab it has.
nit on a ubuntu box right now
MontyMoose: "I'm fairly sure inetd was"   <- what about checking it? dpkg -l '*inetd'
Chotaz: oh by the way did you forget to mention that deluge was running?
dr_willis: oh i see! thanks!
oh heres a question you guys might be able to help me with, I installed ubuntu 12.10 yesterday and i installed it along side windows 7, but when i tried to run windows 7 my monitor keeps shutting down and saying no singnel, but i switch back to ubuntu and its fine
ooh thats cool - write that command in my ubuntu scrapbook. inetutils-inetd <none>
I assume that means it's not installed then?
almoxarife: I wouldnt say deluge is keeping my computer from booting up, but at least now you know ^^
MontyMoose: sudo apt-get install xinetd
I think that's already installed - 1:2.3.14-7ubuntu4
I have a little problem on my computer. I wanted to rename my Windows partition, so I set my permissions to 664, and now the whole thing is treated by Ubuntu as a file, while Windows, thankfully, can still find it. Can anybody help me?
MontyMoose: don't guess, check!  apt-cache policy xinetd
klpkt: set what permissiins on what?
Chotaz: your puter is booting, and python/deluge i assume is eating up 25% of the cpu
http://pastebin.com/MJsfDwGc
so installed 'none' - means it isn't then...
on that table thingy that I brought up. What does rc mean?
MontyMoose: using ftp these days, is foolish.  BUT, you probably need to adjust your proftp config from xinit to standalone
I set my permissions on the Windows partition with Terminal: sudo chmod 664 /media/ECA4F435A4F4043C. I know now that it was a really bad idea, but I didn't know when I did it...
MontyMoose: rc, means config files are still present
MontyMoose: "removed, configs still present"
so do I do a --purge thing to remove them.
klpkt: try resetting the permission to 755
lyk dis if u cry everytim
leet?
I'm not a great fan of FTP - happy to use alternatives. I don't have the port open on the firewall anyway - it's only there so I can upload website files on to the server.
MontyMoose: easier/better/more save to use sftp
klpkt: dosent make much sense either. you DONT/CANT chown/chmod files on a ntfs/vfat fileststem
My update-manager has problems, or so it seems
"The package system is broken"
would you recommend an SFTP server?
klpkt: whats the end goal here anyway?
almoxarife: indeed it is booting, but it's acting really weird
*safe
sevenforall: try running "sudo apt-get -f install" in terminal, pastebin what fails
Well, I did it... Right now it, and everything that was in it, is apparently a file, which I don't have permissions to...
Chotaz_: shut down deluge, don't allow it to start on boot, see what that does
everything was a file to begin with... so you're  not being clear
zykotick9: http://pastie.org/5336516
It;s already installed actually - the server is remote so I'm using SSH already as a terminal.
almoxarife: ypu mean deluged? I will try that.
klpkt: unmount it. delete that mountpoint. make a new one to moynt to.
How do I do that?
hello
sevenforall: so the issue is "'./usr/share/doc/libjack-jackd2-0/buildinfo.gz' is different from the same file on the system" but i don't have any idea why/what that means, sorry.  best of luck.
klpkt: i still dont know why you were messing with it.
is there a config somewhere where I can control which users have access to which folders when connected via SFTP?
zykotick9: Why, thank you
I wanted to rename it, because it had a long name, and I use it fairly often.
MontyMoose, chmod and chown
i just wanted to update my system to 12.10 and grub failed to install on my intel fake raid. now i have the grub rescue prompt. im on live 12.10 right now. how in torvalds name can i install grub to my fake raid again so it goes back to a working boot?
dolphin(that's kde talk for nautilus) treats a sftp dir as just another folder, aint that just swell of kde?
I see just like you would for standard shell users - ace
klpkt: set a proper volume name on it from windows.. like "windowsdisk"  it wont use the uuid # then
How do I do that?
Hello, I'm trying to install phantom.js on remote ubuntu 10.04 x64 server. I'm accessing it using gitbash from my computer. I did download the .bz2 file, using "wget". how do I install it now? what should be done? thanks.
 oh heres a question you guys might be able to help me with, I installed ubuntu 12.10 yesterday and i installed it along side windows 7, but when i tried to run windows 7 my monitor keeps shutting down and saying no singnel, but i switch back to ubuntu and its fine
boot to windows.... rename it.. f2
almoxarife: disabled deluged and sshd from booting with the OS.
dr_willis: How do I find the name of the filesystem?
almoxarife: still acting weird
that's great thanks very much - just hope I haven't broken too many other things - pissing about with packages like a numpty
livesesssionbr0: http://sourceforge.net/p/boot-repair/home/Home/ <-- this has been my go to on a rainy day
Anyone else, perhaps?
Chotaz_: weird
klpkt: huh? in windows you havent given the fileststem a name/label so its uing the uuid #.
bqack again
can anyone tell me how to install grub to my intel fakeraid
Hello, I'm trying to install phantom.js on remote ubuntu 10.04 x64 server. I'm accessing it using gitbash from my pc. I did download the .bz2 file, using "wget". how do I install it now? what should be done? do I need to "run" it ? thanks.
dr_willis: So how do I use the mount command?
klpkt: gparted or windows can set a nicer label for it to use
y update went horribly wrong since grub wasnt installed to my fake raid
yeahbr0: http://sourceforge.net/p/boot-repair/home/Home/
MontyMoose: service --status-all | grep +
bot is lagged? :-(
ace...
dr_willis: Huh? How do I use the mount command, described in a way that I can't understand at the website?
the stuff with ? is stuff that's installed but not running?
almoxarife: can it be a problem with GPU drivers? It used to behave this way when I was using the Nouveau Drive or the nvidia-current driver, but then it stopped happening when I ran the script provided by nvidia for linux drivers, now it started again when I installed today's linux kernel updates
klpkt: im on my phone so cant spoon seed you stuff beter then whats on the 100s of guides about mounting..
it's strange cos there's no + sign next to MySQL but that's certainly running...
why when I run 'rails -v' in the term it deisplays the version, but when I run 'rails -v' in the gedit term plugin, it says that it's not installed?
MontyMoose: "?" means status unknown -- some services don't report it. Or they've *never* been started before.
Chotaz_: do you have 'dkms' installed?
MontyMoose: "-" means not running, "+" means running
Got ya - I've got hundreds of things with ? marks does that matter?
MontyMoose: Nah same here lol
almoxarife: not that I know of
jolly good
mount 101 >>>>     mount /dev/devicename  /media/mountpoint
right I'll battle on - read about 10 million howtos about linux tonight. I must say it's rather good isn't it. :-)
linux :[
does anybody have trouble using online accounts on 12.10 (remix) with the error message "unknown reason"?
it worked fine on unity, seems like the installation of gnome3 messed it up in some way
Chotaz_: install it if not already installed
any know it there is a multi terminal out there and the sudo for it?
almoxarife: done. reboot?
Guest87448, what do you mean with multi terminal?
Guest87448: pick a real nick also.... ;-)
be able to use more that 1 terminal at a time
like terminator?
Guest87448: 'terminator'
is there any reason to not like PPAs?
i dont know im new here
Guest87448: The common apps for that are screen and tmux
well check out terminator then
Linkandzelda: No official support, they are potentially malicious
Linkandzelda: yes, when they cripple your system them you hate them
ok il leave it out my system not the best i dont need anything else slowing it up
dr_willis: Okay, I'm trying to download the Storage Device Manager, to help with doing it, but for some reason Ubuntu wants to be hard on me, and says that it can't because "The action would require the installation of packages from unauthenticated sources". This has happened quite a few times over the last weeks. Do you know how to fix it?
ppas are like junk food  best used in moderation
Linkandzelda: Basically, if the PPA is for some app, it's fine. If it updates apps that are already there on your system and in the official repos, I wouldn't touch it
 Hello, I'm trying to install phantom.js on remote ubuntu 10.04 x64 server. I'm accessing it using gitbash from my pc. I did download the .bz2 file, using "wget". how do I install it now? what should be done? do I need to "run" it ? thanks.
klpkt: why not just rename the partition from Windows?
danieltlx: There's no answer to that. Unpack it, read the readme file if any.
theadmin: fair enough, something happened like that with all my compiz stuff recently.
rap424: i was wondering that also.....
I did unpack it...
rap424: or gparted.
rap424: I can't because I suddenly have no permissions, and it has turned into a file for Ubuntu, while Windows does it fine.
klpkt: Ubuntu treats everyting as a file
Windows does it fine <-- :)
klpkt: this is your c: drive?
Yeah, but earlier the partition was a folder, which I could open, now it's just a file, that I don't have any permissions to.
almoxarife: installed dkms and rebooted, no good.
dr_willis: Yes, it is. I divided the C: drive into a Windows and an Ubuntu partition.
klpkt: reboot to windows... select your c: in the explorer... use the rename feature to give it a nice name.. linux will use that name instead of the big ##
dont use spaces in the name either...
I just upgraded to the new ubuntu and I want my old menu back. I can't understand the nasty apple like things on the side here
dr_willis: So rename the C: drive to something else, and then Ubuntu will treat it like a folder again?
or they don't understand me.. I want to see what is running in one place, what to run somewhere else
Why would running gedit with 'gksudo gedit' cause the terminal plugin to not show me the version of rails installed (says it's not installed) when I type 'rails -v', but in a normal terminal, it shows it just fine?
I like being able to type in "rhythmbox" or "thunderbird" and get it, but I can do that with a terminal
klpkt: we have been saying that for the last 30 min... yes
Chotaz_: in a terminal, 'sudo dkms status' , do you get output?
dr_willis: Okay, I'll be back after trying it!
fourq: i guess after executing gksudo the PATH is not set correctly in that terminal
almoxarife: no sir
so does the new ubuntu interface do that, or do I have to go back to the earlier thing?
iceroot: hmm, does that sound right?
hi, i created an ext4 partition using kde partition manager, and i can only write things on it with an root file manager(dolphin) how can i change that?
shomon: you should be able to choose your GUI at the login screen
shomon: however I'm not sure if that is the case with Unity
tommy8938:  chown/chmod the  files/folders and mountpoint after its mounted as needed
Chotaz_: what you ran for nvidia with the old kernel you need to run again, better yet, use 'nvidia-current' package instead, after you remove what ever it is you installed initially for nvidia, my suggestion, i have a HTC that uses nvidia and what i suggested is the fool proof method to update kernel/nvidia drivers
tommy8938:  ie:    sudo mkdir /media/storage/mystuff     then  sudo chown youruser:youruser /medis/atorage/mystuff
with proper spellings ;)
almoxarife: yes but none of the drivers provided by ubuntu makes my GPU function properly, the fans are always at 100%(like now) and it gets noisey as f%ck
almoxarife: I just went to the nvidia drivers page, download the linux x64 driver for my model and ran the script it gives you
Chotaz_: i don't know what to tell you, google is your friend now
dr_willis: Well, I went into Windows, renamed the C: drive to Windows, but it's still treated like a file, that I "don't have permissions to view".
almoxarife: thanks :)
klpkt: What exactly are you trying to open?
klpkt:  your 'phrase'  'treated like a file' is totally incorrect...
klpkt:  is it showing under the file manager as 'windows' now?
tommy8938: the partion is shown in /media now?
the full path should be /media/windows or /media/yourusername/windows
i added /usr/bib/teamviewer > /home/k/Desktop/tvlog to startup
no tvlog is put on the desktop on boot, if i run command from term it works fine
dr_willis: When I open nautilus and go to media, it shows Windows there, but when I try to open it, it either says that "the folder contents could not be displayed. You do not have the permissions necessary to view the contents of "Windows"." or opens it in gedit, and says that I don't have permissions to view the file Windows.
Hi, I have a samsung clp310 printer. When I print a pdf and select 2 pages per side. It will print 4 pages instead on a side and also in the order 3 4 1 2. Under windows it works fine. Does anyone know the problem and how to fix it?
klpkt:  now open a terminal, and try 'sudo ls /media/Windows'   see if you see the contents
Hey, what's the directory //?
Thisguy_:  same as / i belive
dr_willis: Yes, I do...
Why is it there?
anyone here have any experience with using FlexGet?
klpkt:  does your other windows drive work properly?
Also print preview displays it correctly. It just goes wrong when the printer actually has to do the job.
It doesn't do what it promises in print preview.
dr_willis: My other drive? What do you mean?
i gotta head out... bbl.
hi guys I have done something horrible, I accidentally installed ubuntu on the wrong disk. it was one of my raid1 disk.
Hello i have hidden my Templates folder (renamed it with .templates ) => templates no longer work => renamed it back to just Templates it still doesn't work
the other this is still intact. Is there a way restore the raid?
Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't
dr_willis: What do you mean by my other drive?
What is wrong with these printer drivers?
Is there a recommended way to print multiple pages on 1 side?
klpkt: dr_willis is gone
rap424: Well, do you know what he meant by my other drive?
klpkt: do you only have one drive in your computer?
rap424: I think so... I might have a D: drive, but I never use it...
klpkt: he most likely meant your other partition than
I have issues with the update manager. When I try "sudo apt-get install -f", I get http://pastie.org/5336516.
klpkt: and your D: drive is your disk drive
streaming de video usando vlc o icecast2
rap424: No, I'm pretty sure I use E: for that
klpkt: then he probably meant your D: drive
klpkt: all you did was "sudo chmod 644 /media/windows" ?
Yes, I think I did that.
he did it to /media/##########  of the uuid
klpkt: first off, do you keep backups?
as far as i know chmoding ght mountpoint of a mounted ntfs/vfat changes nothing
I installed the nvidia-common-updates package and now I can't get the nvidia x server settings to do anything and my highest resolution option is 800x600. any ideas?
rap424: No, I'm pretty stupid when it comes to keeping my computer safe.
pyar
klpkt: you should make a makeup before you start changing anything, or you could end up without a working drive
rap424: Yeah, I know that, but I didn't think it would be that much of a deal. I don't know very much about computers except basic programming.
jesus
is it actually not possible to run something as root on startup
this is insane
Is anyone familiar with this, http://www.howtoforge.com/the-perfect-desktop-xubuntu-12.10-quantal-quetzal
klpkt: i mean you should backup right now before going forward
rap424: Okay, how do I do that?
klpkt: Google
rap424: Could it help to just update to 12.10? I'm just wondering, because I'm thinking about updating...
That's weird... file has perms '-rwxr-xr-x' but running it results in '-bash: ./test1.py: Permission denied'
klpkt: it might, worth a shot
doug2: is the partition mounted with noexec?
anybody very familiar with cairo-dock?
-bash: ./test1.py: Permission denied: Nope.
ActionParsnip: Oops, nope.
lizardbrain:  try somthing simple like running 'gksudo gedit' as a test?
ActionParsnip: Oh, yes it is. Dang.
doug2: that'll do it then :)
hi there! i wanted to know the path to a storage device and i checked the kernel message with dmesg but there was no path to the device. am i doing it wrong?
Ok, so I fresh-installed ubuntu two days ago, and installed the nvidia drivers downloaded from their websites because none of the 4 options that ubuntu gives were working for my GPU(no fan control), and it was working wonderfully, but this afternoon after installing the latest linux kernel updates and rebooting, I believe something went wrong because right now all I get when booting my PC is a square is what seems to be a part of th
monitor, surrounded by a black border, and from the size of the mouse pointer I can tell the resolution is messed up aswell, how should I proceed?
Sean21_: keep in mind that howtoforge suggests steps that are not supported here - such as setting a root password or similar
Chotaz_: did u tried xrandr?
rap424: How do I run the installation?
anyone familiar with cairo-dock? Having a few bugs in 12.04
ninux: I'll google it for a bit after dinner, brb,
klpkt: Try google, I'm honestly not even on Ubuntu, I'm on CentOS
ninux: do you mean the path of the block device file or the path on which it is mounted?
POVaddct: i pluggedin an usb flash drive and then i hit dmesg and it showd me the device "type, serialnr, vendor etc" but no path to it
POVaddct: i had expected something like /dev/scsi/host1/bus0/target0/lun0: p1 p2 p3
ciao
ninux: usually scsi devices are named /dev/sdXN  (X=a,b,c,... N=1,2,3,...)
ninux: so try look at /proc/partitions after plugging in
rap424: The updates seem to be blocking upgrading, and the update manager doesn't connect to the internet...
ninux: have you tried the mount command?
willdabeast: what is the issue?
jerrythedog: i was following this tutorial http://www.rooot.net/en/geek-stuff/openwrt/36-mount-external-usb-root-partition-openwrt.html
ninux: and if it is automounted you may try the mount or the df command
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
ninux: last time you unplugged it, did you safely remove it?
Hello, I have an Ubuntu 12.04 LTS automatic deploy server using preseed.  Basic install works fine.  I've just added a command to overwrite /target/etc/apt/sources.list with one that contains our internal repository.  This command fails with permission denied.  Can anyone point me to documentation regarding file permissions in preseed?
The specific failing line is: d-i preseed/late_command rm /target/etc/apt/sources.list && wget http://apt-mirror.internal/sources.list -O /target/etc/apt/sources.list
Hi, I'm about to buy something on Amazon, but I use 12.04, can I get an ubuntu affiliate link to provide to canonical something ?
ninux: openwrt? this is ubuntu support
rap424: The updates seem to be blocking upgrading, and the update manager doesn't connect to the internet...
Also to note, it does overwrite the file.  It just causes the automatic deploy to error out and require manual intervention, which is clearly undesirable in an auto-deploy scenario.
actionparsnip - well I guess first I'll start with, whenever I login, the bottom dock is not attached to the bottom, but that one I can quickfix by just going to configuring and pressing apply. The next one is there is a blackbox behind the docks I can't get rid of.
klpkt: did you try it from the command line?
rap424: What is the command?
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
willdabeast: do you have a ccompositng window manager?

guys how i can add my seccond hdd to grub so i can choose windows 8 ?
willdabeast: what window manager are you using?
ActionParsnip: collects logs for reporting and analysis
did sudo apt-get install build-essential checkinstall
tried make as well
ActionParsnip: I don't know, isn't that in the log?
ActionParsnip, none haha. I just switched from my unity gui though. I had compiz on there but I deleted it.
rap424: could setup a syslog server, if that's what you mean
n1: I doubt if anybody will follow your problem - it is spread over a whole page - try again in "one line" (without pressing <enter> in between)
ActionParsnip: Okay, now the update manager's working
willdabeast: you must have a window manager.
ActionParsnip: I think we need some more complicated than that, I will continue looking online...Thanks!
I need to put the following in it: IPTABLES="ip_tables iptable_filter iptable_mangle ipt_multiport  ipt_REJECT ipt_LOG ip_conntrack ipt_conntrack ipt_state ipt_helper  iptable_nat ipt_REDIRECT ", where is the configuration file in ubuntu?
ActionParsnip: How come the update manager isn't telling me that 12.10 has come out?
ActionParsnip, ah ok thanks :) then will it autofix? or will I need to do something in there.
guntbert need to install an early thunderbird version
ActionParsnip, and are there any other window managers that are better? Or do you prefer compiz
is there anything like team viewer in ubuntu?

teamviewer exists for linux i thought...
it does
dr_willis: I've used it many times.  I'm very sure.
Intel Ultrabooks are awesome
http://www.teamviewer.com/en/download/linux.aspx
i just ssh and x forward.. ;-)
guntbert you here
its a laptop and tablet
dr_willis: I prefer that (much faster) but some people use windows.  Then they expect me to help them use it!
ninux: still there?
Sean21_: yeah, whats up?
As far as that xubuntu thing
Danon: I though ulta-books were just very thin laptops (like the Air)
thought*
deadmund: xming and putty ;-)
Do you see how the desktop is?
dr_willis: are you coming on to me?
guntbert while trying to install a package first did the sudo apt-get install build-essential checkinstall

n1: sorry, I never tried such a thing
Well I am new to linux/ubuntu and someone suggested that link to me.  I already have ubuntu 12.10 installed.  How would I go abouts doing it?
Do I have to delete ubuntu?
guntbert thx anyway

i all :) can anyone help  me ? i have a probl with ubuntu ?
you have to say what the problem is
GrandMast3r_, ask the channel
Sean21_: no, generally xubuntu is only a different "flavour" of ubuntu, you can install it quite simply - that long customization will also not need a reinstall. I'd suggest to try it in a virtual machine though

Hi all. I try to upgrade my bios. I've set up a freedos usb key and put on it bios upgrade software. But I stucked in freedos : I can't see my usb stick data. Error message is "Invalid Drive C:"... Any idea on how mounting usb stick in freedos ?
alpic: does your current bios firmware recognise the usb key, and is it listed as the preferred boot device?
jiffe98: do you want php.ini?
(you may have to re-save the bios settings with new boot settings to boot from the new usb key)
alpic: I think FreeDOS doesn't have to mount your USB key.
guntbert: no, the php5.conf adds SetHandler application/x-httpd-php
without it when I try going to a .php page it shows the php code rather than the compiled output

Nickoleus, my bios is not the problem. It recognize the usb stick because I boot on it :-) But when I launch the usb key with freedos, it does not recognize data on usb key
alpic: yes, I just realised that
alpic: i think you have to load the TSRs for the USB drivers or something. also check R: X: Z: to see if it got dropped there
does anyone know how to activate metacity? or compiz?
Chotaz_: Can you boot into old kernel?
Nickoleus, TSRs ?
alpic: alternatively you can try ##freedos
dsprc, tried it... no answer... no one there.
alpic: terminate and stay resident.... they load into HIGHMEM
maxiaojun: CTRL+ALT+F1? yes.
dr_willis: do you know anything about truecrypt?
alpic: I am not familiar with Freedos, so its inner workings is not something I can comment on :-/
does anyone know how to activate compiz or metacity?
I just accidentally deleted /etc/modsecurity, the whole folder
hi, I can't install csv on Ubuntu 12.04 it seems. I get unable to locate csv when running: sudo apt-get install csv
reinstalling mod_security does not bring the folder contents back
dsprc, Ive tried all letters :-(
am I missing something?
how do I completely reinstall mod-security so /etc/modsecurity is filled again?
Nickoleus: it is just like any other DOS.  just the kernel is a bit different than MSDOS
alpic: but in general, the order of drivers in "*dos" might be important (in config.sys, if it uses that)
hmm, I can't duplicate it with another virtual machine, I must have done something strange in my initial setup
Chotaz_: I mean, when upgrade, Ubuntu should install new kernel and keep old ones, can you see some kind of boot menu before actual booting?
maxiaojun: At all, the updates were suggested by Ubuntu 12.10 software update
willdabeast: !compiz
Nickoleus, quite complicated for me
how do I completely reinstall mod-security so /etc/modsecurity is filled again?
, cvs
Chotaz_: Well, since you install NVIDIA driver independently, things can be out of sync...
haha, got myself mixing cvs and csv, good fried
;-)
lduros: :)
dsprc: hehe
crackerjackz, event not found?
maxiaojun: you mean I'd have to rename Xorg.conf, reboot, reinstall nvidia's driver from the script and then reboot again?
alpic: do you know if it uses "config.sys" and "autoexec.bat"? (will be in the root folder, I assume - they are two text files that can be edited)
How do I remount / as ro? "mount -o remount,ro /" won't work.
Nickoleus: it does.
Chotaz_: You're right...
alpic: are your files on the same "partition" as the core Freedos files (where it boots from? It sounds like you have more than one partition on that usb key?)
Nickoleus: Config.sys yes. All in the same partition.
maxiaojun: sorry, sometimes I need to remember myself to do reubberduck debugging before panicing
alpic: IIRC there is a menu thing that you can load that will allow you to select things from a list and load them on the fly fromt he FreeDOS Live environment
please tell me
how to use aircrack
?
alpic: if the bios recognises the Freedos key (and thus its main partition), then that partition should be readable by freedos itself, can you place the files there if they are not already?)
antivirys: http://aircrack-ng.org/documentation.html
for ufw (uncomplicated firewall) to work, do I have to disable iptables ?
they are ...
did the most recent updates to 12.10 do something to wireless?
My wireless was working post install, but after an update last night no more wireless interface even...
joaojeronimo: no, ufw uses iptables
Chotaz_: I have a Nvidia desktop and I gave up Nvidia driver and switch back to Nouveau...
alpic: so you can browse through the other folders on that Freedos partition? Can you see the folder the files are in at all?
I assume it is a Fat(-something) partition, so it should not be a matter of file permissions)
guntbert, that I know, the thing is my friend just enabled iptables and wrote some rules in /etc/iptables.firewall.rules, and now every rule I set with ufw does not work
dir should list it
Evening evrery, I'm looking for some help...
*everynone
antivirys: 'man aircrack' or aircrack-ng.org
guntbert, should I remove the /etc/iptables.firewall.rules file ?

anyone know why compiz fusion icon might not be opening?
Any installation wizards in?
Nickoleus, there is nothing similar in fact
Chotaz_: If you still believe in Ubuntu community, please report a bug for Jockey in your case, if haven't done so.
GaryMcEwan, just ask the channel the real question
I'm trying to install Ubuntu 12.10 to run alongside Windows 7 on my PC. The PC itself is a quad core machine with 4GB of RAM.   12.04 ran like a charm with no problems at all, but upon installing 12.10, its so slow and unresponsive, make my PC freeze constantly, and when it enters the Grub Menu for the Dual Boot selection, it makes the screen flicker quite violently.
alpic: what do you mean by "nothing similar" (to what?)
NIckoleus, in ubuntu, i can see my image files, but in freedos all is mounted
alpic: I assume that you dont need to "mount" anything in Freedos? (dos partitions, right?)
GaryMcEwan: sounds like your were using Unity 2D...
alpic: hang on. let me see if i still have a freedos vm laying around some where that i can look at. have usb set up properly if i do. loaded my BBS package off of it.
Hello are there a nice friend som can help me to set one multiple websites up in my server with apache
its dont work for me
I downloaded it direct from Ubuntu and burned the .ISO to disc.
Nickoleus, It mounts image automatically.... after that ive got config.sys and so on visible
arlo, if u want
alpic: so if the files are on the same partition, and you can see the other Freedos files from within Freedos, then I am at loss for answers. Are the files deep in a folder hierarchy? (Probably not)
arlo, what happens when you connect to http://127.0.0.1 ?
Nickoleus, No just in a DOS subdirectory. Strange, isnt it
its working
alpic: yes, it is strange if you can see the other files and folders on the Freedos drive
GaryMcEwan: It doesn't matter. What matters is that 12.10 requires 3D acceleration now.
then you need to look and ake sure you are not useing absolute paths or 127.x.x.x
alpic: and no special characters in the folder name or file names?
GaryMcEwan: Do you know what graphics you are using?
maxiaojun So what do you suggest I do?
Can anyone help me with compiz?
Nickoleus, folder name is DOS and file name is flash.bat ... I don't see anything. In normal cas, it seems to "mount" drive disk in C: but in my case, i ve only got a: (which is freedos data)
My graphics card is NVIDIA GeForce 9800GT
alpic: not exactly similar, but when a special tool placed backup files on a NTFS partition: I had to reset the owner/group permissions of those files in Windows XP in order for them to be accessible (but they were

flash.bat must be the BIOS flashing utility?

Hello, when you first install ubuntu with an encrypted home, I think a password is generate.. Where can I find the script that automates this task?
GaryMcEwan: Try install additional driver for it first: http://itsfoss.com/how-to-install-additional-drivers-in-ubuntu-12-10-quick-tip/
dsprc - sry :)
alpic: ah, ok, possibly what you see in Freedos as drive A: is only the RAM-drive (temporary files loaded). not the actual C: drive, you might need some config.sys settings
So I am trying to use compiz in gnome 3 with openGL, I have fusion installed but when I click on it, it does not open. I am trying to create binds such as alt-tab and fix graphic errors.
alpic: let me find an old config.sys example in my archive to see if I might have a relevant tip
Nickoleus: I wonder why not just put all the stuff in A: ?
willdabeast,  check  for broken dependencies or misconfigured packages
XRS1 how?
Nickoleus, alpic: IIRC a: is loaded as ramdisk from the live system
alpic: the config.sys that you can see on that drive when looking at it from Linux is doing stuff to mount the RAM drive, which might not be all you have on that main partition
dsprc: yes, exactly, so the A: drive is not entirely reflecting what is on the USB key's main partition
ssh-agent... Logging in and tried running both  eval `ssh-agent` and exec ssh-agent bash ... running ssh-add -l shows 'The agent has no identities.'. I log out and back in again, agent is still running but ssh-add -l gets me 'Could not open a connection to your authentication agent.'.....:(
sudo apt-get build-dep && sudo apt-get install -i && sudo apt-get autoremove && sudo dpkg --configure -a && sudo apt-get update
@ willdabeast
prolly should run dpkg first?
ah, -A
b4 autoremove i mean*
willdabeast: if you want compositing, install xcompmgr and add it to the session startup :)

willdabeast: there will be an entry for the session in /etc/xdg   add it in the autostart. Mine is: /etc/xdg/lxsession/Lubuntu/autostart   and the line is: @xcompmgr -n      (including the @ symbol)
jayco,  u ask your question and wait patiently i think
willdabeast: there is a karma system on launchpad for contributions there but not in here
XRS1, Thank you i will try that
ActionParsnip is a 4.6876 starts helper :)
hehe
stars!'
actionparsnip yea, too bad it's not linked to here. Pretty sure a bot could be created for that.
willdabeast: could suggest it in #freenode :)
the schat scrolls too uch for that but it could go in #ubuntu-offtopic
alpic: sorry, I could not find any relevant examples :-/
ActionParsnip, definitely doing that haha. People are even more helpful in here than launchpad, and quicker since it's live :) sry getting offtopic, the end.
what did you use to make the USB? you might want to try a different one
Hey guys. I just tried to install the latest nvidia drivers on my 12.10 install and now it won't come back up. Just get a blinking _
Is there an easy way to revert, or am I SOL?
I always have bad luck with linux and graphics drivers...
how long did you give it b4 you gave up and turned it off?
my ufw is not working... its enabled and "sudo iptables -L" lists my rules just fine, why are all the ports I opened still blocked ?
alpic: i would suggest you shoot a message off to the freedos mailinglist and maybe try there
jcrzanoid: try booting to root recovery mode and run:  nvidia-xconfig   then reboot
ActionParsnip: Thanks, will do.
ActionParsnip: That gave me ERROR: Unable to write to directory '/etc/X11'
tried sudo'ing it
jcrzanoid: you are root, so no need for sudo
jcrzanoid: try:  mount -o remount,rw /
jcrzanoid: then run it
Nice, that did it
ActionParsnip, do you know any ops?
what would be the best channel for flash streaming questions
Shoot, during boot I got Starting load fallback graphics devices [fail]
Looks like it froze at Starting LightDM Display Manager
._.
dsprc, Nickoleus : thanks anyway...
ActionParsnip, how did you add that line of code to add to the startup session? In terminal? something like gedit?
willdabeast: its just a text file, so yes
alpic: no problem, sorry I could not help - there are several questions about this if you google for it, but I could not find any answers with just a couple of searches, only links to threads where people could not resolve that same situation.
jcrzanoid: then you can either edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf or delete it
I installed the latest linux drivers from nvidia, how would I go back to the normal graphics drivers?
Hello, when you first install ubuntu with an encrypted home, I think a password is generate.. Where can I find the script that automates this task?
if I have an apache config that is network shared, is there a way I can make sure it is mounted before apache tries to start on boot?
hi, i got an xml file where all the code is in one line. when using firefox to display the file, firefox will present the file with correct indents and in a nice format. but when using an editor like geany, it's all in one line again. what editor could format the one-line-code to a nicely nidented xml code? or do i have to work with regex?
problem is, that i have to make it one-lined again after processing it
hi
i need gd library, how can i install it?
I want to start the git daemon and have installed the git-daemon-sysvinit package. It seems the only way to configure it is to edit /etc/defaults/git-daemon or the init.d script itself. Is this correct? The word "default" in the name of the former file makes me think I should leave it alone
guys can I stop Xorg process from using 60-70% cpu causing intense lag?
Linkandzelda: how strong is your cpu? If it's older, you might need a lightweight desktop.
Linkandzelda: you have to find out if Xorg is using your CPU or an other process that uses Xorg
Linkandzelda: if you install the video driver it should go down. If your GPU doesn't cut it then the 3D rendering is shifted to the CPU
i need gd library, how can i install it?
Aprel: it's a i5 2.5ghz. Benkinooby: good call, and i guess its compiz as that is using the other remaining bit. ActionParsnip: i'm using the preprietory driver from ATI and its an ATI 6600 256mb
Benkinooby: I see geany-plugin-prettyprinter which may be what you are looking for (if you want to use geany that is)
Akuw: php-gd?
anyone remember what the apt-get install shortcut for dev libraries ?
Linkandzelda: nm, you processor is strong enough. Must be some other process.
Aprel: how can i find out what is using the Xorg process?
Linkandzelda: does the system have 2 GPUs?
ActionParsnip: it has a single GPU, discrete
Linkandzelda: so its not one of those switchable things
hi
ActionParsnip: nope just a regular GPU with a single HDMI port, single monitor
Hrm, still no luck. Trying to boot in failsafe graphics mode just doesn't do anything either.
trism: looks good - will try it, thank you for the hint!
at least an irc channel where ppl are talking
normally I'd just wipe and re-start anew but I have tons of code on this machine :(
Hi all, I have a problem, my ubuntu 12.04 freezes often
is there any fix?
greetings
Depends on why it is freezing.
it;s happening while I'm on firefox
and suddenly the UI freezes
and on chrome
same issue
Hm, using unity?
jtran: dont know of a specific switch but you can always install them with $LIB-dev e.g. libx11-dev
yes
unity
is there any easy way to remove all these packages: http://pastebin.com/UJAWbCcT
dsprc:  ok thx
hola .
they were installed as dependencies with a .deb file and now I can't get rid of them
alguien sabe de java
?7
sudo apt-get autoremove doesn't get rid of them
Not sure, as I don't like Unity /hater. However, it could be a window manager problem. Try installing openbox and run openbox --replace. Then try and make it freeze again.
help! my server is down! ping localhost says: network unreachable
.. but you know Steam is out now?
Theredbaron_: ok i will investigate more, tnx
Steam doesn't run on my Lubuntu 12.10 install.
jtran: debian breaks all their headers and stuff into seperate packages. something to keep in mind whilst building
is thre any way to set barrier=0 on install?
No problem pensacola, wish I was more use.
hello. has anyone found a safe, non-hackish way to have Unity keep the application's menu bar visible at all times when an app is in the foreground, and not just when you mouse over it?
i'm running the latest 12.10
i just installed lamp and now i want to change the www directory. can someone tell me how to do that?
Alpha-Omega: try saving that into a file, then run awk '{for(i=1;i<=NF;i++){if( $i ~ /:i386/){ gsub(":i386","",$i); print $i;}}  }'  <thatfile>
im currently in awesome wm. however i want to go to gnome for a minute. and i dont want to logout. how can i have multiple x servers? googling a bit seems to indicate i cant get another x server on ctrl+alt+f8 whilst f7 is current etc.
hello. has anyone found a safe, non-hackish way to have Unity keep the application's menu bar visible at all times when an app is in the foreground, and not just when you mouse over it?
klj613: from a VT (ctrl+alt+f2->f6) try "startx -- :1"... gdmflexiserver would be a lot easier, but i don't think that's really an option for you?
Alpha-Omega: then maybe aptitude --simulate  remove $(awk '{for(i=1;i<=NF;i++){if( $i ~ /:i386/){ gsub(":i386","",$i); print $i;}}  }'  <thatfile>)
peterrooney: bash: syntax error near unexpected token `i=1'
that's the output
zykotick9, not sure if thats a option because i dont know it? i'll try first one anyway
peterrooney: i mean is there a way to just have all those packages output into a file, without the (.......) and the other bs?
if I knew awk I would do it myself, but it's way complicated
trism: thank you, that is exactly what i looked for. after processing, i will find and replace all tabs and line breaks to have it all in one line again
Alpha-Omega: what's the name of the file you saved the output in?
zykotick9, i get "no protocol specified" and i think i saw "no device matching" or something. also its in a loop of "no protocol specified" with ctrl+c won't stop lol
{for(i=1;i<=NF;i++){if( $i ~ /:i386/){ gsub(":i386","",$i); print $i;}}  }' UJAWbCcT.txt
klj613: sorry, no suggestions then...
peterrooney: {for(i=1;i<=NF;i++){if( $i ~ /:i386/){ gsub(":i386","",$i); print $i;}}  }' UJAWbCcT.txt
Alpha-Omega: uh, what?  you missed the awk at the front.
zykotick9, okay thanks anyway :)
peterrooney: :P
i figured out how to make an encrypted container with truecrypt but how do i get my OS inside of it?
hello. has anyone found a safe, non-hackish way to have Unity keep the application's menu bar visible at all times when an app is in the foreground, and not just when you mouse over it?
peterrooney: ok, did it, and it did the output, nice :) just one question, can't seem to copy it in because it's on individual lines, is there a way I can have it on one line with just a space between the packages?
Alpha-Omega: spaces-only not needed if you run it like so:
 aptitude remove $( awk ' {for (i=1; i <= NF; i++){ if ( $i ~ /:i386/) { gsub(":i386","",$i); print $i;}}  }'  somefile )
ping
Alpha-Omega: if you _really_ want it on one line,  awk '{for(i=1;i<=NF;i++){if( $i ~ /:i386/){ gsub(":i386","",$i); printf $i; printf " "; }}  }'  <thatfile>
I got my system booting again by wiping out the old graphics drivers and going back to nouveau.. but now unity is gone o_O
peterrooney: ok, seems to be working :) shows open closed defer ect. not sure never used aptitude before, but seems to be working, thanks so much, awk is definitely useful, need to learn it :)
try with a newly made user jcrzanoid ?
Hello everyone.  I have been googling for 2 days now.  Time to ask for assistance.  I am having an issue with libc being "in an unexpected directory".  I cannot repalce it.  But apt-get -f install is broken becasue of it.  Is this repairable?
dpkg --configure -a  doesnt help.
jcrzanoid: what nvidia GPU do you use?
jcrzanoid: and do you have a switchable GPU (Intel and Nvidia)?
I am booted into a live cd and have chrooted, but still I can't seem to repair it.
what other ubuntu related channel is available to chat freely besides ubuntu-offtopic?
It's a GeForce GTX 400, and no, I have the "let them interchance" option disabled in BIOS
At least I can see my desktop again
Guest42: define repair, what exactly are you trying to fix?
Well, I would like to be able to install software.
apt-get is not working because of the libc issue.
anyone knows when the nvidia 310 drivers will hit ubuntu repos? They got released today.
ironhalik: nvidia-experimental-310 is in quantal-proposed and precise-updates
trism: yeah. But since they got released today as final, shouldn't they be upgraded to nvidia-current-updates?
or is nvidia-experimental-310 up-to-date?
What would make some of the files on my Samsung Galaxy S2 not appear on the drive when I plug it in via USB, but be available on the phone itself?
ironhalik: eventually I imagine, but it isn't currently
im attempting to get hibernation to work, i issued command sudo pm-hibernate, screen flickers then an error saying acpi failed to set timing, then it powers down, on boot i get grub screen choose ubuntu and my session is restored
ok, it seems like the packages are still the beta version, I'll wait for the updates
Nevermind, rebooting my phone fixed it.
Gerowen: good ol reboot :)
jcrzanoid: if you run:  sudo lshw -C display    do you see both chips?
jcrzanoid: have you checked the ubuntu hybrid graphics how to
Alpha-Omega: awk is every kind of awesome.  halfway between grep, perl, and C.
hello
hi deathman|
can someone tell me how to add intel_iommu=on in ubuntu's grub?
deathman|: run:  gksudo gedit /etc/default/grub
deathman|: find the quotes with:  quiet splash  and add it in there
sweet thnx
deathman|: save the new file, close gedit and run:  sudo update-grub
mmm thinking where to put this command
deathman|: do the line will look like BLAHBLAH="quiet splash intel_iommu=on"
deathman|: a terminal
so if i have this GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash" i need to do GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash intel_iommu=on" ?
deathman|: yes, like I said
ok thnx again :)
don't forget to upgrade grub, deathman|
deathman|: you need to run:  sudo update-grub to reread the new config
deathman|: the option is applied to standing kernels and all subsequent kernels too
ok done
really thnx
hello
deathman|: simple stuff :)
I tried to join this channel with my laptop, but I got banned immediatelly, why?
the name was Soelen
tada1, you may want to change your username to NOT have pr0nz in it
Soelen?
tada1: I'd ask in #ubuntu-ops
I got an answer, thanks
anyway, I have a question
well not so simple
i did try to do the same thing on fedora 17 with no success
they did not even know how to help me figure it out :/
and here you did help in like 10 sec
I'm having an homeserver with the server edition of ubuntu on it and a netbook with ubuntu as well. Is there any possibility to mount a directory from the server on my laptop?
tada1, you could do a Samba share, or some sort of other share
now the hard stuff =_=
anyone in here know the regex for include everything?
I can access files from the server via samba but firefox doesnt understand the samba/smb protocoll, that is why I'm asking
FTP?
Okay I've turned off screen blanking, screen saver and anything else like that in every place I can find. Can I just remove the daemon that makes my screen blank?!?
I think ftp is not a comfortable option
i predict i will have kernel crash soon :)
ok thnx for help time to restart ubuntu
bye all
bb
Nobody does /quit anymore...
They just hard close the client
it's very easy to mount on windows, and I was hoping for a fast solution on ubuntu as well
Windows =!= Linux
: (
Magiobiwan: I always /quit
tada1: you can mount FTP using nautilus
tada1  just entered, trying to mount a remote folder on ubuntu? why not use NFS?
Hey guys, question, can you just install Ubuntu on an EEEPC or is there anything special for that?
i'v ubuntu on eeepc 1000h
Ephexeve: just install it, you may need some tweaks but it works well
Ephexeve,  you mean that littil laptop
Hi. What groups does my normal user need to be in so that playing games on a separate X server will work? I know I had to put myself into the video group to get acceleration to work, but what else?
Ephexeve, yes you can
MonkeyDust: nfs? let me check
Ephexeve, i would use Xubuntu, much lighter desktop, but try it, maybe your EEE is better than my asus eee901
what is some good video editing software for linux?
MonkeyDust: thanks I think that might help!
Troy^: Avidemux
Hi, I have a file with a permission ----rwx--- (070), i.e: rwx for group and nothing for others. However, I am unable to read it, despite the file's GID and my GID being  the same. Why is this ? There are no ACLs in action too !
Hello
jrib: ls -ld gives : "----rwx--- 1 faxer faxer 0 Nov  7 03:48 test.txt"
whoami gives : "faxer"
faxer: you have explicitly said the faxer user cannot read, therefore he cannot read
jrib: but - he belongs to the 'faxer' group
faxer: the user specification takes precedence
who owns the file. Shouldn't the group permissions be checked if the user permissions fail
faxer: no, you could for example give everyone read and then use group permissions to take away read permissions from a certain group
jrib: so what you're saying is that the group flags are not even checked if the user permission check fails ?
faxer: why would they be
avidemux has like no options
faxer: basically, you can think of it as the more specific rule applies
jrib: but say for example a guest user, who also belongs to the faxer group tries to access the file
faxer: sure, he can access the file
jrib: in his case, the user flags would still fail, but the group flags would still be checked
faxer: your user is also in a group of its own name too
faxer: the user flag applies to the owner of the file; he is not the owner
jrib: oops
jrib: thanks got it
thanks ActionParsnip
ActionParsnip, you should go work for ubuntu
Anyone familiar with xununtu http://www.howtoforge.com/the-perfect-desktop-xubuntu-12.10-quantal-quetzal ?
Sean21_: please just ask your actual question
xubuntu
xibalba: I just do support. as far as I know it's teh same just with SLAs
Anyone get their hands on the new Steam?
Sean21_: what's te issue
That is my question
Well I already installed ubuntu 12.10
Sean21_: the answer is "yes, someone is familiar with it."  It's a useless question.
So I was wondering how I would go abouts installing xubuntu
Sean21_: 2 options
Sean21_: install xfce4 and use your gnome apps in the xfce session (default settings)
Sean21_: or install xubuntu-desktop to get the full xubuntu desktop with all the apps installed
Sorry Im a newb with linux/ubuntu
Where do you download the full xubuntu desktop
Sean21_: software center
Come on, I'm pretty furious here. This script that I use to run games in a separate X server worked perfectly fine in Precise, and now that I'm on Quantal, it's all busted. Every time I try to quit a game in that x server, it hangs, and some applications just fail to start at all, hanging with half a window.
Sean21_: use software centre
Sean21_: have you already got Ubuntu of some sort installed?
So what do I need to do to be sure that something I do in a separate X sever won't just break?
Yes gordon
Sean21_: if you install xubuntu-desktop you will duplicate app fuinctionality
Sean21_: okay, either go to the software centre as jrib says, or from a terminal "sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop"
Sean21_: and wait for a while
Sean21_: for example, you have gedit installed now, if you install xubuntu-desktop you will also have mousepad installed
So is this good or bad
Sean21_: neither, and both
Sean21_: i'd just install xfce4 and use the gnome apps you have in xfce
So when you say to install xfce4, where do I do that? what gordon said?
Sean21_: are you using Unity just now?
Sean21_: its a package name. Install it in software centre, or in a terminal, run:   sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install xfce4
gordon, like I said im new to this, all I know is I installed ubuntu 12.10 and thats it.
Sean21_: okay, first handy hint - if you want to reply to someone type the first few letters of their nickname and hit <TAB>
gordonjcp: ok
Sean21_: there you go, now your name pops up in yellow and if I'm reading another channel, this one shows up as a different colour
Sean21_: so I can tell that someone wants *me* specifically to pay attention to the channel
Sean21_: don't be annoying with that, like I'm doing right now
gordonjcp: i been wondering how to do that, i have asked and nobody told me how
Sean21_: it's called "tab completion" and it works in the terminal too
 Sean21_ TAB gets used a lot in Linux :)
Come on, I'm pretty furious here. This script that I use to run games in a separate X server worked perfectly fine in Precise, and now that I'm on Quantal, it's all busted. Every time I try to quit a game in that x server, it hangs, and some applications just fail to start at all, hanging with half a window. So what do I need to do to be sure that something I do in a separate X sever won't just break?
ActionParsnip: LOL
[TiZ]: you said that already
[TiZ], perhaps if you were PATIENT, you could get an answer
gordonjcp: ok so back to square one, you asked me if I have unity.
yes, which if you installed "ordinary" Ubuntu, you do have
[TiZ]: i believe bash was upgraded in the l2.10 so some scripts might break
And exactly how patient do I have to be?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sh-cnaJoGCw&feature=related this is an awesome presentation
[TiZ]: maybe patient enough to try to describe the problem, maybe devise a test case and pastebin your errors?
gordonjcp: What should I do?
[TiZ]: can you pastebin the script please
Sean21_: so if you want to install Xubuntu, open the software centre and search for Xubuntu
ActionParsnip, gordonjcp: working on it now.
Sean21_: its a package name. Install it in software centre, or in a terminal, run:   sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install xfce4
Linkandzelda, please don't post youtube url's here, join #ubuntu-offtopic for that
i know when I upgraded to 12.10 i had to tweak a lot of my scripts.  bash related
ActionParsnip: do I type run or just "sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install xfce4"
Sean21_: sorry, xfce4
Sean21_: if you're doing it from the command line, install xubuntu-desktop
ActionParsnip: http://pastie.org/5337656
OerHeks: sorry :/
The script has three parts, and all three of them are there. I do some pretty dumb things in it, but as far as I know, nothing that should cause applications to behave strangely.
Why does `echo -e "\033(0"` do what it does? (note: this command is not malicious. simply reopen your terminal or type `reset` and enter to reverse its effects. i'm just curious
gordonjcp: that command is not correct
a friend showed it to me but he doesn't know why it works either :p
or rather, what it really does. it looks like it sends ascii character 3 (ETX) then 3(0...? i have no idea
ActionParsnip: I added the config file sourced by gamerun to the paste: http://pastie.org/5337680
gordonjcp: also when i search in app center, only thing that shows is Xubuntu restricted extras
* rootpt is away: busy
And here is a log of trying to run something inside the separate x server: http://pastie.org/5337682
When I run the same program using only xinit cmd -- :2, the same behavior is exhibited except without the convenience of having a window manager to kill the unresponsive application for me.
oh, i figured it out
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO/IEC_2022#ISO.2FIEC_2022_character_sets
Every application I've tested so far behaves the same way: Kega Fusion, Neverball, even Nikki and the Robots. When I quit, they just sit there and hang until I kill them. They work fine if I run them in my regular X server.
echo -e "\033(B" takes you back
thanks if anyone cared :p
how govinda install umuntu?
govinda no want windows no more
the bill microsoft evil
ubottu: thank you for instructions sir
ubottu:  oh no you is bery intelligent
ActionParsnip: did you see what I said?
ohhhhhhhhhhhh
ubottu: you help govinda install umuntu
also, chr 33 is escape, not chr 3 duh :D
ubottu: :) to you too
ubottu: you come here often sir?
Is there an openoffice channel? Wondering how can I select all and just the text in a opt presentation, openoffice impress document, thanks.
ubottu: govinda think you is intelligent
govinda: ubottu is a bot... it's not a person. The people here use it to quickly send common messages.
Such as the one you just got. Watch:
TiZ: what you mean sir ubottu not a person?
he speak to me umuntu
govinda: I mean that ubottu's not a person. It's a robot.
govinda, thats just a channel bots ... Don't think he is a real person
TiZ: haha you so funny how can he not be person
he speak govinda
govinda knows he is a bot......
your brain?!?
Oh, perfect. I should have known we would have had one of those.
are ubottu okey?
I can't tell if we're being trolled or not.
yes you are being trolled'
whit govinda, you are never sure
we are. it was obvious when govinda spelled ubuntu umuntu
lol
lol. Me and my trying to help.
yet umuntu sounds cute
it does sound cute, i give you that
govinda is a bit of a troll
Anyways, where was I before? Oh yeah, trying to get my stuff to not hang in a separate X server.
Complaining that (s)he broke his monitor in ##hardware
at least a polite one...
And apparently it's required to fap
:o
Magiobiwan: use dirty word!
Oh, so we're crossing that line, huh? :b
I was quoting him
It's lies and slander. Use your imagination~
dont get naugthy
govinda feels kinky
...Anyways, I should probably not contribute further to that line of conversation.
lol
Programs. Separate X server. Hanging. Scripts used to start stuff in separate X: http://pastie.org/5337680 Log of stuff running in separate X: http://pastie.org/5337682
It worked perfectly fine in Precise. I think I may have had to add myself to certain user groups. I know I have to be in video and audio. What else?
[TiZ]: what's the simplest program you can make hang? Do they hang without your script?  Without a wm?
[TiZ]: how long do you wait to see if they'll quit?  do you get output to your tty if you start them without a wm?
[TiZ]: does using startx instead of xinit make a difference?
hmm, I think that's all I have for now [TiZ] :P
jrib: Good questions to ask. Well, a good example is neverball since it's in the repos.
jrib: They do indeed hang without my script, and without my wm. But in my regular xubuntu session, they start up and quit just fine.
[TiZ]: also, try a different user that isn't logged in anywhere else (just log in at a tty)
[TiZ]: regarding a simpler program, how about xclock? or xmoto?
jrib: startx instead of xinit makes no difference. I wait... about 15 seconds, usually. This is Linux, not Windows. If it doesn't quit in 15, it's not gonna quit.
jrib: Ah, good idea.
[TiZ]: leave it sitting for a couple of minutes just to see what happens
[TiZ]: also, while it hangs, see if anything interesting is going on with regards to memory/cpu usage
jrib: And xclock does quit immediately.
jrib: Okay, I'll give neverball another go and take a look at the cpu usage.
[TiZ]: my initial guess is it's related to sound.  Just a random guess
[TiZ]: (because I had mplayer hang in the past because of some pulse issue)
jrib: Nothing interesting going on with cpu or memory usage.
jrib: It's interesting you should say that; I have no sound right now.
question, I install ubuntu on the EEPC, but the resolution is horrible
too big
and I cannot change it in the settings, any clue?
Or rather... apps I run in separate X have no sound.
jrib: Okay, something weird happened. The instant I switched back to the game's tty to check on it, it quit.
[TiZ]: could be something console-kit related too
Awesome, so I have to check pulse and consolekit.
And I say awesome in the most sarcastic way possible. :P
heh
[TiZ]: I'd try killing pulse and disabling it from autospawning, then launching the separate X process.  Just to see if the behavior changed
jrib: How do I keep pulse from autospawning?
for some reason i thought it would be a good idea to install compiz extra plugins... while ccsm was running
[TiZ]: add/edit a line in ~/.pulse/client.conf that says "autospawn = no"
XiaolinDraconis: did your ubuntu make you a grilled cheese?  Because if so... I think it was a good idea.
jrib, it may possibly have my laptop running hot enough to
XiaolinDraconis: haha
where a best places to ask about linux programming ?
im trying to have patience with this, but so far the system is entirely unresponsive
blackshirt: usually pick a language and go to that language's channel
my mouse stops working without apparent reason, any one knows why? i see that this is a problem that has happened to other ubuntu users
jrib, i think in C, do you know where it is?
jrib: That seems to have fixed it. Applications now run and quit without anomaly on the second X server. But I still have no sound over there.
blackshirt: ##c
[TiZ]: alright, well that narrows it down at least.  Is there a reason you use xinit instead of startx?  Does xinit use some file or does it only spawn a single program you give it?
jrib, thanks
jrib: No particular reason. Honestly, I'm not sure what the difference between the two is.
[TiZ]: alright, anyway, I don't feel like reading your script, but presumably you have something in ~/.xinitrc?  Or how do you start the window manager?
I'm trying to use smbmount and I keep getting this error /usr/bin/smbmount: line 115: /sbin/mount.cifs: No such file or directory
Anyone know why?
my mouse stops working without apparent reason, any one knows why? i see that this is a problem that has happened to other ubuntu users??????
jrib: I actually use mostly stock Xubuntu. .xinitrc shouldn't be used as far as I know...
simplew: is it a USB mouse or a touchpad?
saustin: mount can mount smb stuff
saustin: it's in the cifs-utils package.  See ubottu for more info about samba
ActionParsnip: usb mouse
simplew: if you unplug and replug it in, is it ok?
ActionParsnip: did you see what i said?
[TiZ]: oh, so xinit probably uses some default file then.  You don't have a ~/.xinitrc?
ActionParsnip: sometimes yes, others doesnt
I ran the following command in a terminal and now the system won't boot any idea how to correct it?  sudo sh -c 'echo "allow-guest=false" >> /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf'
Sean21_: not seeing anything in the text. Wassup?
hmm I have the latest cifs-utils

jrib: Nope. There is a special xinit that gamerun starts. It handles a few things for me like stopping the screen blanking, starting up gamepad profiles, etc.
Actually it will boot but it get's to "UBUNTU" then the screen goes black...
simplew: when it works, then stops. open a terminal with: CTRL+ALT+T and run:  dmesg | tail     may give clues
ActionParsnip: ok ill do that, thanks
simplew: are you using a USB3 port instead of a USB2 port per-chance?
ActionParsnip: do I type run or just "sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install xfce4"
Anyways, I have to go for a bit. I'm hungry and need to get food. Thanks for all your help, jrib. Thanks to you, I now have a better idea of what's causing the problem.
tim use a live cd and edit the lightdm.conf and remove that added line
Sean21_: yes, just like that
ActionParsnip: the mouse is in a usb 2 port
simplew: cool, tried a differnet port?
[TiZ]: alright.  Investigate adding ck-launch-session to your script (just prefix the window manager call with it)
hey, i was wondering if anyone could help me find a nice linux DVD player. I popped in a DVD and it asked me if i wanted movie player to run it, and it tried, but  it said something about not being able to read the DVD due to encryption library.
ActionParsnip: yes and made no difference
or do i just need to download a certain library? if that's it, how do i find which one?\
so boot from the cd and then how do I get to lightdm to edit it?
amy, try VLC
ActionParsnip: thanks boss, its going right now
amy: did you install the DVD decoder?
if I want to install to an SSD, I'm reading I should use the discard option in fstab. Would I do that on all partitions?
jiohdi: it doesn't pull in a DVD descoder
amy: sudo apt-get install libdvdread4; sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread4/install-css.sh; sudo apt-get upgrade

ok. ive been having random crashes.. and did a memory test , and discovered that all four of my ram chips were giving errors, even indpendently, which seemed strange.  I had had some problems with when the computer crashed, that the hard drive was occasionally dissappeared, returning after a number of restarts.  i came in here and people seemed to suggest that perhaps my motherboard memory controller had gone bad or something.  so i went and pic
jiohdi: how do I edit lightdm.conf once I boot to the cd?

question, I install ubuntu on the EEPC, but the resolution is horrible

and I cannot change it in the settings, any clue?

guys need your opinions  guys need a vpn provider dont know who should get my cash witch would you recommend
ah, yeah
Ephexeve: get fully update
Ephexeve: download proprietary drivers
amy: that's why
deper29: in an EEE PC....really?
ActionParsnip: would you not install proprietary drivers if the resolution is horrible?
forgot I had a system update running. I'll give that a go again in a minute

someone just mentioned a SSD , which if my hard drive has gone bad, im thinking about buying because i assume that something with no moving parts would perhaps be less prone to dieing..  is this a reasonable assumption? do people consider ssd's more relyable than traditional platter drives?
Hello can someone help me debug my laptop problem running kubuntu. I upgraded from 10.04 to 12.04 recently. Everything went fine then I went to login the other day and everytime I type my password into the login screen, I get a black screen for a split second (command screen with writing but it goes away before I can read it) and it brings me back to the login screen
Is there an openoffice channel? Wondering how can I select all and just the text in a opt presentation, openoffice impress document, thanks.
deper29: if its an Intel GPU or a SiS GPU, there aren't any to install
ActionParsnip: i've never owned a eee pc, so I didn't know they were running intel graphics
brady,  one thing i've noticed with my SSD drives is that you have to be careful to leave at least a certain amount of drive space free, or crashes may become a frequent occurance. At least with my PC anything less than 5gb free and i start seeing daily crashes.\
deper29: then how can you advise? Not all systems need, or can even use proprietary drivers. Most netbooks use crappy Intel or SiS or Chrome GPUs.
amy.. that wouldn't too much of an issue for me, so long as i dont suddenly hear a clicking sound and the drive goes poof
My hard drive uses 4096-byte optimal sectors, but 512 minimal sectors. Will I have inefficiency problems due to a non-aligned root partition? http://bpaste.net/show/Tr0IbXOcArJ3suKie305/
512-byte minimal*
ActionParsnip: sorry, I gave bad advice.
deper29: Did it, but got an error
brady, yeah. i've not had any issues with data loss or error on my SSD stuff yet. I prefer to keep a network backup just in case, but so far datawise it's been clear sailing.
can anybody help me. i am a noob to mint 10

im having trouble seeing the screen of my ubuntu 12.10 box
gdea73: are there bugs reported?
i opened up vnc...the default desktop sharing is vnc correct? in ubuntu 12.10?
hi, im trying to stream a ip cam as webcam with: " gst-launch-1.0 -v souphttpsrc location='http://192.168.2.52:8080/' is-live=true ! multipartdemux ! decodebin ! v4l2sink device=/dev/videoX

can anybody help?
Sorry, I'm just here to lurk :P
the server is using ati raedon 4000 series..in used the old legacy and xorg 1.12
ActionParsnip: I don't know if there are for my specific laptop model, I will check.
come on
someone help me XD
its using* the older ati thats functions with 12.10
is there any possible way to just rip compiz off the face of the map with unity
12.10
fellayaboy: what ATI chip are you using?
my client is using ati raedon 4200 and my server is using ati raedon 4000
is it possible to do dual sorting in nautilis?
Also, how can I disable Super+T opening the Trash? I wish to map this to opening gnome-terminal.
hellooooo
how cani be sure im using latest kernel?
gdea73 u dont like using ctrl+alt+t to open up terminal?
ActionParsnip: just 32 bits, kernel 3.2.0-32-generic
simplew: uname -r will tell you your kernel. the latest kernel is on kernel.org
fellayaboy: No, I prefer Super+T.
In the past, I always mapped Super+T to opening the terminal.
deper29: i will only use kernel packaged form ubuntu, but whats the meta package to upgrade kernel?
It's a matter of personal preference, Super+T is easier to do with the left pinky and index finger, whereas Ctrl+Alt+T is less ergonomic.
I set the shortcut in System Settings, but Gnome won't give up the binding to Trash. I also find having a Trash keyboard shortcut useless, regardless of conflict.
damn theres no way to get this desktop sharing to function...i bet its compiz thats messing me up but theres no way to disable it in 12.10
i know previous versions disablign compiz worked for me
hi dare all if i have download a torrent whit transmision ans he is seeding how do i dtop him and ware can i fint the  download torrnt?
hello
can anyone help me_
fellayaboy: Compiz is out of date anyway
how do i disable it in ubuntu 12.10
i wanna just delete the bin but idk what effect that might have on my system
Hi everybody i'm in ubuntu 12.10 and have a usb mouse. sometimes After startup, my mouse don't work do you know why ?
wow alot of people with problems today
lol... yeah
fellayaboy: just apt-get remove compiz
I gave up with Arch and I expected this installation to go relatively smoothly, unfortunately that's not the case
but are you sure i will be able to boot into my system even after i do that..i dont have my server near me..its through remote u know
i cant believe i have to use commerical software liek teamviewer to look at my remote pc ...and whats crazy is that teamviewer works very well but it needs someone on ther other end
If my ext4 partition is not aligned on an "optimal I/O" sector boundary, does this mean there will be wasteful reading and writing, or will ext4 be able to compensate?
fellayaboy: ssh dude, you are not on windows
and if this is the case, how can I fix it?
still i have to use gui to guide the people on the server they want me to guide them and show them stuff u know
fellayaboy: what are you wanting to connect in order to achieve?
fellayaboy: ah demonstarting is great using vnc etc
yes it is but only when it works
im ubuntu desktop sharing and all i get is a black screen

I'll mess with Unity shortcuts later ... in the meantime, I still can't get the laptop to resume from suspend. I will check the pm-suspend.log file.
Does anyone know how to get the interactive shell for php, when you run 'php -a' on 12.04? When I run it, all I get is interactive mode, not the interactive shell.
Ephexeve: http://wiki.compiz.org/C%2B%2BCompiling has 0.9.8    which is in Quantal....also bleeding edge PPAs compiled late last month have the same version but only slightly different
Ephexeve: can you please give a source for compiz being 'out of date'
ActionParsnip: "could not write bytes: Broken pipe" .... ahh ubunut.. y'know any fix for this?
Ephexeve: can you answer the quesion please
ActionParsnip: Cry baby cry
ActionParsnip: One, compiz SUCKS
Ephexeve: doesn't answer the questrion
and the integration with Ubuntu is even worst
xevwork: php -a is as much as you get, or you use something like phpsh
1.) As a developer, take  alook at that code
and you tell me
Ephexeve: I wasn't questioning if it sucked or not. You said it was out of date. Which it isn't
Ephexeve: I'm asking where you heard this frmo
Ephexeve: it being out of date is all I am questioning of you. Noting more
*nothing
somsip: Yes, but php -a works differently on 10.04 vs 12.04 - I get an interactive shell on 10.04, vs interactive mode on 12.04.
somsip: shell means you have a prompt and you get responses immediately and completiong and stuff. mode means you just type the contents of the php file, hit control-d, then it gets executed
pm-suspend.log says that NetworkManager failed to wake up the interfaces
the website says rewrite has been announced on 24th December 2009
Ephexeve: It's not out of date at all. Is it?
On 12.04.1, sometimes when I reboot my computer, I get the console instead of X11.  Any idea why?
but I still fail to see how this is related to waking up the screen
I intend to install fglrx, would the situation be better or worse?
xevwork: then php -a is working fine as an interactive shell on my 12.04
somsip: Let me check if I've got a package from a ppa or something...
man ati drivers suck...are any nvidia cards not working witht he lastest xorg
xevwork: here - PHP 5.3.10-1ubuntu3.4 with Suhosin-Patch (cli) (built: Sep 12 2012 18:59:41)
somsip: Looks like I do - thanks for helping me narrow that down.
xevwork: easy :)
Ephexeve: gone quiet huh..... thought so
ActionParsnip: xubuntu does not look exactly the same as I saw it in those pictures
ActionParsnip: the theme that is
Sean21_: the theme is changable very easily
ActionParsnip, hello, where can i get some help using python with gtk?
hualet: try #python as a good start
ActionParsnip, thanks for the tip earlier, that sudo update got everything working fine
ActionParsnip, ok ,thanks
amy: yay :)
ActionParsnip: how do I go abouts doing that?
amy: the decoder is not installed by default, you need a package to install it. It also is not a dep of any player so people saying 'install vlc' aren't helping. It'll just be another player without DD playback :(
Sean21_: I gotta get some stuff sorted for work here, there are guides all over how to theme xubuntu and xfce
ActionParsnip: thanks for the help, appreciate it :)
Sean21_: np :)
Hi. I've serious problems connecting to the internet throw wifi with ubuntu (chip Atheros). Months ago, we had WEP protection: I could connect but internet was extremely slow. I changed it to WPA2: when it's connected it works fine, but it has a lot of problems connecting. Most of the times, it won't connect to the wifi adapter if I don't restart the router. Restarting the router allows me to connect 100% of the times. I think it may be a problem obtaining I
P, maybe repeated IP (we are 6 in the house and a flatmate with windows finds that problem)I can't be restarting the router sneaking in the corridor anymore, my flatmates are so tired of my ubuntu... Please, help!
Has anyone ever solved a problem regarding suspend, other than USB3/FireWire related? Honestly... :P
evening folks,  is there a permission app to edit groups like there was in gnome 2.x somewhere ?
I'm not familiar with the ubuntu/unity UI, and have booted to a liveCD just so I can inspect the SMART on the hosts NTFS drive. Is there someone willing to lead me through that?
javier: have you disabled IPv6 if you don't use it
sure do wish I could set terminal's opacity to "show next tab" or something.. wish i had some brilliant shortcut key to toggle whether transparency was enabled at all, whether it showed next tab behind, or showed next application behind.. also the ability to set color schemes for front/back tab...maybe sync the line spacing of the front with the text size of the back, so you can more easily see through without obstruction...  anyone else want that? somethi
it should be mounting on your desktop I think , you can just click on it and view the content
ActionParsnip, I checked and it's not disabled. Do you think it can be that? I remember I disabled it trying to things with the internet some time ago, and I don't remember if I turned it back on
javier: it can help. You can also disable hw decryption using a module option, which may help
Anyone here get in on the steam beta? :)
nautilus it should be mounting on your desktop I think , you can just click on it and view the content
ipadftw: check omgubuntu ;)
ipadftw: specfifically, http://www.webupd8.org/2012/11/how-to-use-steam-for-linux-right-now.html
Pelo: dont see it on the desktop
ActionParsnip, I would like to try that second option as well. I will google it as "disable hw decryption module". I thought about choosing fixed IP instead of dynamic. Can't it be related with that?
Pelo: should I try and mount it from terminal?
javier: if you are simply failing DHCP (try in CLI to renew the IP) then it may help
ActionParsnip, sorry, what is CLI?
javier: command line interface
Nautilus, shouldn'T need to , it mounts automaticaly,  I don'T use unity so I'm not 100% sure where you can access it ,  type  alt+f2 and type nautilus , it should open will all menues,  from there check in the 4th menu from the left , not sure what it is in english should be something like goto or places
deper29, thank!
Nautilus, just so you know nautilus is also the name of the file manager , you'Re not typing your nick
I could use a bit of help disabling hw decryption using a module option (don't even know what means=
Pelo: yes ;)
Pelo: when I typed that in I get 3 choices: nautilus-autorun-software, nautilus-connect-server, nautilus-sendto

Is there any remote chance that upgrading to 12.10 (from 12.04.1) would fix my issues with resuming from suspend to RAM?
javier: a terminal
javier: cli = command line interface
Nautilus, just nautilus plain, i'm surprised there isn'T one, try typing nautilus in the terminal then
Pelo: its also a sea creature
Pelo: got it, lemme look around
ActionParsnip, yes, yes, I got that :) I meant help disabling hw decryption, but thank!
javier: what wifri driver module are you using?
javier: did you try re-requesting DHCP?
Pelo: dont see it in my sidebar buty I did try to mount it to /mnt, maybe I should reboot
Nautilus, look in /media that's where stuff gets mounted automaticaly
Nautilus, there are also two different display for the sidebar,  one for just shortcuts one for treeview or something , again, not sure what the exact english is , my setup is in french
Pelo: just the cdrom
yes I tried tree view too
Nautilus, the name might be something weird
try the my computer one, might get listed in there
ActionParsnip, the problem is that I'm having internet right now. if I disconnect now, I will get connection again. Tomorrow is when I'll find the problem again and will have to restart the router, or maybe in some hours. Anyway, will try to re-request DHCP, see how to do it and check if I fall in no problem
ActionParsnip, I'm not using any special driver. In aditional drivers anyone is suggested
Nautilus, I have to go, best of luck to you on this
ActionParsnip, this is what you mean?: "sudo dhclient"
pelo: I mounted it as /mnt/mya1    ok thanks!  I might be good now
I tried s2ram, and the screen still doesn't turn back on after suspend.
on a mounted HD I went to Properties but theres no method to see the SMART table there?  What's next?
javier: sudo dhclient wlan0
javier: assuming it is wlan0
Nautilus: http://www.bing.com/search?q=ubuntu+smart+test+HDD&src=IE-SearchBox&FORM=IE8SRC    check the first link....
ActionParsnip, I got this as an answer "Since the script you are attempting to invoke has been converted to an
Upstart job, you may also use the reload(8) utility, e.g. reload smbd"
ActionParsnip: thanks
ActionParsnip: got it :)
Nautilus: you couldn't do that?
Nautilus: for realisies?
suspend. help. :P
can i send message from proxy server to all clients?i use squid.
ActionParsnip: I thought I might have to install a util like I have before. this is nice :)
does Ubuntu 12.10 use a different kernel from 12.04.1LTS?
I'm willing to try 12.10 if it means suspend might actually work.
gdea73: yes
javier: does the command work?
ActionParsnip, I got this message: "Rather than invoking init scripts through /etc/init.d, use the service(8)
utility, e.g. service smbd reload
Since the script you are attempting to invoke has been converted to an
Upstart job, you may also use the reload(8) utility, e.g. reload smbd"
(sorry for so many lines...)
javier: what did you run to get that?
ActionParsnip, just sudo dhclient wlan0
javier: try:  sudo dhclient3 wlan0
ActionParsnip, dhclinet3: not found order
javier: if you run:  sudo lshw -C network   does the wifi use wlan0   or is it some other name?
How can I create a folder in terminal?  Also, how can I create a file within that folder that I created?
battlehands: mkdir -p /path/of/folder/to/make
battlehands: the -p makes the subfolders if they do not exist
ActionParsnip, http://pastebin.com/HT5CHFdH
can i send message from proxy server to all clients?i use squid.
ActionParsnip, eth0?
yes
javier: that's the ethernet controller
javier: try:    echo "options ath9k nohwcrypt=1" | sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/ath9kfix.conf > /dev/null      reboot to test
ActionParsnip: I'm having some trouble with some basic functions in my terminal.  I'm using lubuntu.  1)  When I open matlab in terminal, terminal is somehow "locked into matlab;" I can neither close terminal without closing matlab, and I cannot type in terminal while matlab is running.  Is addressing those problems within your scope?
ActionParsnip, after the second command, I didn't get any confirmation that it's done and finished. If I try to close the terminal, it ask me if I want to finish the process ongoing
javier: it won't output anything if it succeeds :)
ActionParsnip, great :) So, will reboot
ActionParsnip: I realized that 2) should be asked in matlab ;)
battlehands: press CTRL+Z then run: bg
ActionParsnip: battlehands@battlebook:~/MATLAB/bin$ run: bg No command 'run:' found, did you mean:
...
battlehands: there is a guide in the ubuntu docs on how to make a launcher to run the app
ActionParsnip: what do you mean by launcher?
battlehands: no you don't run 'run' that's me telling you the next thing is the command
battlehands: launcher is an icon you can doubleclick to run the app
command is bg?
ActionParsnip: I'm okay with opening matlab in terminal.
battlehands: yes 'bg' is the command, 2 letter
hi, need tutorial for minimal xorg installation on ubuntu server
ActionParsnip: battlehands@battlebook:~/MATLAB/bin$ bg [1]+ ./matlab &
ActionParsnip, I rebooted and have internet, but as I said, I would expect that to happen (it's only after a few hours disconnected that I need to reboot the router if I want to connect). So, how do we know if it worked?
ActionParsnip: what just happened?
battlehands: the command is running but (b)ack(g)rounded
ActionParsnip: what how is a backgrounded application different from a frontgrounded application?
battlehands: its reference is 1 as it is the first backgrounded job. You can foreground it if you wish
ActionParsnip: or why am I interested in it being backgrounded I could say...
battlehands: the foregrounded command was hogging your terminal, so now you can use the terminal for other things
what website about ubuntu u guys always visit?
battlehands: the terminal is still the parent process so closing it will kill the matlab process
Michalegaozixu: omgubuntu, webupd8
ActionParsnip: as long as I can use terminal while matlab is running I'm fine... now I can do things like create folders and files while matlab is still open.
how to be a good hacker using ubuntu?
Michalegaozixu: easy, install --> hacking
battlehands: totally, if you make a desktop launcher, you won't need the terminal to run it
ActionParsnip: how long would something like that take?
to do
*
chimney,you kidding
battlehands: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MATLAB   not seen that?
Michalegaozixu: come to offtopic I'll explain you, ok?
whats offtopic?im a bewbie
ActionParsnip: I don't have a photographic memory... ;)

ActionParsnip: let me give that article a quick read-through...

ActionParsnip: i cant report bugs iin raring, when running ubuntu-bug appears ths:  ERROR: Could not import module, is a package upgrade in progress?  Error: No module named 'DLFCN'
simplew: #ubuntu+1 for raring, not here
ActionParsnip, I rebooted and have internet, but I don't know if something is solved. Do you want to try something and check if we made some change?
any idea how i get a system just with x and qt running?
javier: just try it as you would normally use it. You can always delete the file we made and reboot to roll back
chimney: use ubuntu minimal
ActionParsnip: I did it.
ActionParsnip:  Thanks
where? i get it?
battlehands: np, the web ghas some wonderful info on it
ActionParsnip: too much
ActionParsnip: is it compatible to Transmeta Crusoe 800Mhz?
ActionParsnip, ok, I will do that. Just, to remember, if I still find the problem next time, how should I restart my DHCP? (renew IP)
ActionParsnip: now I can make that folder :) ;)
javier: its worth a try
chimney: its ubuntu with nothing except the kernel, bootloader and some basic tools
chimney: you can build up a very minimal OS, if ubuntu works then ubuntu minimal will work too
ActionParsnip: ive an transmeta 5800
ActionParsnip, ok, I'll see what happens. thanks! :)
ActionParsnip: it has nothing i fear it even has no PAE
chimney: then use Precise and you should be ok, if you want a non PAE Ubuntu then use Lubuntu 12.04
what is the best way to keep the functionality of 10.04 on 12.04
ActionParsnip: thanks
Ben64: functionality in what sense
simple menus, easy to change themes, gnome-panel
somebody has an Transmeta 5800 ?
Ben64: install gnome-panel and use that
Ben64: or use Xubuntu 12.04
ActionParsnip: I tried installing gnome-panel but that broke the theming
Ben64: use Xubuntu, it has the gnome 2 smell
would gnome-panel work on it?
Ben64: or you could install mate / cinammon but they aren't supported here
Ben64: technically yes
lxde?
somebody has an Transmeta 5800?
if you live way in the past, then the present sounds like the future =]
hello i am trying so very hard to get this silly wired xbox controoler working i have followed several sets of instructions from searches and now everything seems to work exept the d-pad
the d-pad works on xbox and windows
simplew, /msg ubottu
??
hole_, see above
simplew, stop that.
hmm like everyone else he doesn't know
  /msg ubottu     <---------- simplew
./msg ubottu     <---------- simplew
what happened?
simplew, stop playing games with the bot.  use /msg to talk the bot
i did
no one was playing games
i wanna play games with my xbox 360 controller but ubuntu dooesn't seeem to like its dpad
hole_: if you run:   xev   and press the controls. Do you see a reaction?
lemme see
maybe this page is any help >> http://askubuntu.com/questions/165210/how-do-i-get-a-wireless-xbox-360-controller-working
no, but when i run an emulator i can map everything but the dpad and it works fine on everything else
dpkg -l   it will only handle from isntalled packages?
simplew: yes, it lists the installed packages
ActionParsnip: here i see packages that are not installed and are listed
simplew: does the right hand colomn say 'rr' instead of 'ii'
ActionParsnip: dpkg -l '*spell*'   shows packages that are not installed
simplew: sorry rc, not rr
simplew: and left hand colomn
ActionParsnip: so it doesnt handle  only from installed packages
oi
ActionPasnip : no, but when i run an emulator i can map everything but the dpad and it works fine on everything else
simplew: yes, the un   means its not installed
simplew: try:  dpkg -l | grep spell
ActionParsnip: isnt there an app that manages only installed packages?
simplew: try what I gave, its more like what you want
ActionParsnip: yes, but dpkg -l '*spell*'  should to the same thinking dpkg would only handle isntalled packages, which is not the case
simplew: let me chack the man page
Just installed 12.10 on my laptop. Boots to a purple screen, nothing happens.
simplew: seems dpkg can do all packages, installed and not. if you give it a pattern, it will match that to the installed packages as well as the available ones and tell you if it's in or not
simplew: the command I gave is what you want it you want to see only the installed packages with the word 'spell' in
ActionParsnip: yes but i was looking for a tool to handle only from installed ones
simplew: yes, dpkg will if you use it right
simplew: like I said, the commadn I gave only works on installed packages
i really dont wanna go back to using windows and having to reinstall every couple weeks because of adware
Ubuntu will not boot at all, it goes directly to a purple screen and hangs.
gdea73: what GPU do you use?
gdea73 specs?
i think i can get this one dude :)
hole_: fill you boots :)
hole_: seen this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Xbox360Controller
ActionPasnip: kk just trying to earn MY help
AMD APU Llano (A6-3420M 1.5GHz)
ActionPasnip: i think so
It's got a Radeon 6350G or something as well, but it's disabled in BIOS.
ActionParsnip: seams dpkg man in EXAMPLES is liying with what dpkg -l '*vi*' does
hole_: do you have the xpad module loaded (might be an old guide now)
simplew: you can report a bug if you want, get it updated
ActionParsnip: it says: To  list  installed  packages  related  to  the editor vi(1)
ActionPasnip: looks promising lemme help this feller
ActionParsnip: Lenovo IdeaPad Z575, is the model name.
hole_: http://www.ehow.com/how_8725674_make-linux-use-xbox-controller.html
I just wiped my previous 12.04 installation which worked fine, except it wouldn't resume from suspend.
simplew, the "un" probably doesn't mean "not installed" (see man dpkg-query)
okay, I tried with nomodeset and it booted to GNOME but the resolution is very messed up.
ActionParsnip: bed time
gdea73 shoot newer hardware is out of my range i am still using an old msi wind u-100
The screen is stuck in 1024x768, even though its native resolution is 1366x768
hole_: I used my Celeron 500 laptop until a month ago, lol.
wow holy crap
hey guys, i have a hp g42 notebook with "powerXpress" and i can't install the proprietary driver
i still have an old toshiba 450 that works
running some old version of debian
gdea73: seems to be an AMD Radeon HD 6380G
gdea73: gdea73 did you install the proprietary video driver?
ActionParsnip: I was planning on it, so I might as well.
Let me check if suspend works, however, that's the only reason I'm not using 12.04.1 LTS.
How do I open a rar file in lubuntu?
oh thank Jesus
it finally works
after going through quite a bit of pain with Arch and 12.04, suspend resumes successfully in 12.10 - yay
battlehands, use unrar, comandline only
ActionPasnip: yea i actually havent been here didnt think i'd have to do this i am just recently using this distro after a long stent with suse till the switch from kde
but ubuntu/debian will always have a place in mah heart
Hello?
does anyone know how to make gnome 3 look like Netbook  remix in Ubuntu 12.10
d0m, netbook remix isn't anymore

here's some random guide to doing that in 12.10, just an idea: http://www.itworld.com/software/304198/install-nvidia-drivers-ubuntu-1210

You probably need to install proprietary drivers.
Perhaps check the "Additional Drivers" utility for, as its name implies, additional drivers.

Hi! I've an acer laptop. Brightness can't be controled in ubuntu, it's a common fail in this laptops. I used to correct it by adding the line GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash acpi_osi=Linux" in /etc/default/grub. Sometime ago, I changed grub to burg, what was the trigger to have the problem back. I've googled if there is something like grub but burg file which could be modified, but I didn't find it. Anyone knows if the same fix could be done with bu

i am trying to do a 'make menuconfig' for the kernel (for an androd kernel). other android packages need libncurses5-dev:i386, but menuconfig is erroring because of missing ncurses (64 bit versions). so any of you know what i can do, such as switch some other package to i386 so menuconfig will run
dreamer138: dpkg -l | less
hi there. can I ask a question about 12.10 here.
dreamer138, it removed old nvidia drivers, installed latest linux headers, then re-installed the latest stable nvidia drivers with kernel support
I think :)
Solid. gnome-tweak-tool it is.. lul

I have a 3DConnexion space navigator 3D mouse.
im having an impossible time importing my pictures from my iphone. :/ I cant get them into ubuntu, or win8 i keep receiving errors
@roobyf : tell me the two commands...i will save them
sudo apt-get purge nvidia-*
the ubuntu repo has spacenavd and libspacenav.  I figured if I just install those, it would be up and recognizing the 3d mouse.  It's not the case yet.
kk
sudo apt-get install linux-headers-3.5.0-18
Anyone here have any tips.
sudo apt-get install nvidia-current
omac: how do you get a 3D mouse?
First off, I bought it from 3DConnexion.
They come with drivers, but they don't work.
omac: well yeah, they will be for windows...
Actually the proprietary drivers on the cd V3.7.18 come with linux drivers.
but they don't work.
omac: can you expand on 'don't work'
there are a few articles on the web pointing to sourceforge 3dconnexion.
omac: what have you tried to do to make it work
I go into blender and expect it to rotate using the 3dmouse.  The wonderful thing is that it advertises being able to move in 3 axes at the same time.
omac: what did you do to try and install the driver
this is unlike having to click and rotate 3 times when using blender with a non-3d mouse.
It comes with a bunch of tars, the one most relevant is 3dxware-linux-v1-4-3.x86_64.tar.gz.  I have an amd phenom 8core.
the ubuntu is amd64 arch.
12.10.
hi
In this tar.gz it has a "install-3dxunix.sh"
looks promising
is there a README
or INSTALL
I ran it and it did a few things to inittab which it got errors but to be honest I didn't record any of it.
After that I went to ubuntu repos and discovered the spacenavd/libspacenav and installed those.
omac: so it didn't work first time and you have done nothing to try and work out what went wrong...
I apologize for taking your time.  I was just wondering if anyone else here had one of these spacenavigator things.
omac: try reading the screen, it is telling you stuff
omac: you can then take steps
omac: did you read the InstallationInstructions_Linux.txt file?
omac: looks very comprehensive
lets say i have two drives.   one is 2tb , however its actual contents is well below 500gb, and i have a 500gb drive,  is there a program out there that i could use to mirror my system on the first drive, to the second drive?
brady1, a program called gparted, (gparted live cd), can clone partitions
omac: http://www.3dconnexion.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=3474 and http://www.stokebloke.com/wordpress/category/blender/ have some guidance though they may be out of date
question: I'm learning awk and I wanted to know what a ";" at the end of a print statement does
brady1, then you can use gparted to resize the cloned partition
brady1, or you can make the partition first on the 2 TB (make the ext4 partition 2 TB), and the clone won't change the target size
brady1, it's simple, it's a copy and paste ..
omac: did you read it?
omac, what do you mean spacenavigator? like commanderkeen?
brady1, you there?
yes, im looking at gparted , trying to tell whats going on with the partitions on the 2tb drive, i see three things in the list under partition,   /dev/sda1  ,  /dev/sda2    ,   /dev/sda5
please, can someone help me with my hybrid notebook gpus ?
the first one says ext4,  second extended,  the third linux swap
i believe my stuff is all on the first one
brady1, sudo parted /dev/sda print <enter>
brady1, that's ok, you can clone the ext4 .. (you can wipe out the swap partition, there's nothing on there unless you are using hibernation)
brady1, (and if the hibernation on swap is a savedstate)
brady1, is this a laptop?
no, desktop
brady1, (asking to be sure to have done a "shutdown", and not a "hibernation shutdown")
hold on let me get you a pastebin
brady1: i'd guess you have 2 primary partitions, then an extended partion with the jump to sda5 [but with 2tb i'd think you'd be using gpt, and i don't think that as a primary parition limit? (well not a realistic one anyway?)]
yokobr, ati or nvidia hybrid ?
nvidia hybrid, what's that?
OerHeks, both ati.
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HybridGraphics
http://pastebin.com/Gnehpe30
brady1, yeah.. that looks fine.. you just need to clone /dev/sda1
brady1: fyi, "i" don't go to patebin.com (see "/msg ubottu paste" for an alternative without ads/tracking)
brady1, make your partition a GPT styled table.. here... just a sec...
yes i believe your right, as i notice now that used and unused are empty on those two 30 something gig partitions
brady1, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TbOB2z3weUg
brady1, if you're on PC bios and you use a GPT partition style drive, make a 1 meg grubbios partition
ActionParsnip, I'm going to try to install the 3Dconnexion plugin for blender.  That was the piece I was missing.
brady1, also use boot-repair iso to fix the grub bootloader.. you're going to boot off the 2Tb right?
jaggieness,  does anything ive shown suggest why my computer might be failing to see my harddrive on startup?
brady1, (that video shows how to prepare a GPT styled partition table)
brady1, you said you have a 2TB drive..
jagginess:  3dmouse is allows you to do stuff a bit more efficiently in 3d cad/animation programs like blender.  I aim to use the 3dconnexion 3dmouse with blender specifically.
brady1, you should use GPT on it..
brady1, i'm asking are you planning to boot from the 2TB drive?
brady1, (you can add the 1 meg grubbios partition anytime though)
well, yes jagginess, originally i had planed on using the 2tb drive to boot from
thank you ActionParsnip btw.  It helps to have another perspective.
brady1, and are you using EFI ?
i dont know what efi is
brady1, do you know the motherboard?
efi is the NOT-BIOS in your motherboard firmware.
asus maximus v formula
you can boot using BIOS or EFI with newer motherboards.
see this all started off with my machine occasionally crashing
brady1, looks like an efi-bios hybrid..
the big problem is windows 8 requires it and ubuntu is starting to use it as the default when installing Linux now.
sometimes when it would reboot, it would fail to boot, and end up in bios
when i would look for my harddrive, it had dissappeared
as of 12.10, I have efi booting ubuntu.
after a bunch of boots, it would show up, and boot
i eventually discovered that all four of my memory cards was failing memtest86
brady1, maybe you can try to use grub-pc, i'm guessing you're not using grub-efi yet
on the ASUS 990FX motherboard it is optional to use EFI.  You can boot from BIOS too.
i checked the ram individually , and they all failed
if anyone knows 12.04 can install into a UEFI bios?
brady1, so follow that video and add 3 partitions, 1 ext4, 1 swap, and 1 meg unformatted(with a changed flag)..
which i thought was weird, 4 seperate cards all failing
brady1, ?
omac: your board is UEFI?
brady1, the ram failed?
yes i will try that, but i wanted to explain more details
it seemed all so unlkily that all four ram cards were bad
brady1, if the ram is failing why are you thinking the drive is bad?
so i got a new motherboard, and tested the ram, and they passed
brady1, okok so i dont care about the past.. but only the system you're using atm..
but today, the motherboard failed to find my 2tb drive again..
I don't know about UEFI, but when I run mount there is:  /sys/firmware/efi/efivars
brady1, which motherboard are you using right now? the new one or old one?
the new one
still having probs with wireless usb netgear 3100
brady1, and where is the old drive?
hooked up to it
brady1, so do you have a usb box to use for the old drive? maybe the old drive is causing problems.. restrict it's problems to the usb
oooops:  It's documented in the motherboard manual, but I installed it a while ago and never looked at that manual since.
brady1, sounds like maybe the old drive is causing havoc.. clone it asap and then take it completely out
i have a usb box, but the drive is hooked up to the motherboard right now
brady1, it'll be better if you placed it in the usb
the old drive, isn't nessarly old, is basically brand new
brady1, you can boot gpartedlive from a cd.
i have a live cd with gparted on it
All I can say is that it boots fast and I have had no hiccups except for a few days because of the AMD 7970 graphics driver wasn't ok in 12.10 for a few days.  After doing an update it just fixed itself.
brady1, have you done harddrive test on the older drive? (there's ubcd and systemdrivecd -- freeware iso online)
omac: oo
my logic was that i would backup the 2tb drive to the 500gig drive, and try to boot and see if it has the same problem or not
brady1, use one of those 2 diagnostic cd's..
brady1, and diagnose the old harddrive without the new one attached
downloading 12.04. 11.10 is fail to boot on UEFI bios
brady1, then diagnose the new harddrive without the older one attached
ive done ckdsk on the 2tb drive, its not found any errors
brady1, but you only get problems when the old drive is connected.. so i'd suggest to test the older drive alone to be sure that it's the problematic one
OerHeks, the problem is that i have PCI:1:5:0 hd 4250 (integrated) and PCI:2:0:0 HD 6310 (discrete). It only works when i have xorg.conf integrated with vesa driver and discrete with flgrx.
jagginess, i had previously installed ubuntu on the 500 gig one, and had crashes
brady1, also when i say harddrive test, i don't mean filesystem checking.
brady1, the harddrive tests go deeper than a filesystem scan
brady1, ok.. so do what you have to do..
ahh.. is there a program i can download to my live usb stick , rather than downloading an entire cd?
brady1, yes.. there's unetbootin and pendrive usb makers..
no what im saying, is i already have a live usb stick
brady1, (pendrive makes linux usb stuff from windows)
brady1, no
thats weird.
Anyone get the Steam Beta invite?
kerrick, me
Hi there I'm getting a grub2-efi error on installing
jagginess, so did they just email you?
kerrick, not gonna tell you :)
I didn't get the invite; wondering if it's because I put my distro down as Arch
adknight87, ?
kerrick, #arch
kerrick: FWIW http://www.webupd8.org/2012/11/how-to-use-steam-for-linux-right-now.html
On a fresh install it doesnt get past the grub install for 12.04
adknight87, maybe you should run a checksum test
How would i do that in a live ubuntu
adknight87, do what?
HOLY SHIT THAT'S A LOT OF PEOPLE
i lol'd
?
adknight87, are you asking me why you can't install ubuntu from the live media?
adknight87, or are you asking about checking an iso from your current boot.
adknight87, the official way to install ubuntu is from cd/dvd .. maybe your usb maker did a bad job
can anyone suggest ........alternative for ipmessenger in windows ...in ubuntu 12.04???

jackie_: is yours the v1 or v2? the v1 is atheros the v2 is broadcom
dreamer138: well the 'user' bit is an account you have on the server side you are sending to
Oooops, you need to check your manufacturer manual of your motherboard..
dreamer138: and 'host' is teh system you are sending to.

hi everyone, linux noob here, been reading about distros lately and i want to install either linux mint 13 xfce or lubuntu on my crappy netbook, what do you guys reccomend?
Oooops, since you're getting that error message, try option #2
Oooops, 'UEFI only'
marcio: Lubuntu as it's super light :)
marcio: plus the Mint community is tiny compared to Ubuntus
marcio: plus you are in an Ubuntu channel.....
hahaha
ActionParsnip: yeah but the developers are actually responsive
jagginess: after this, reinstall 12.04? i have only usb disk.
mint seems to be very popular lately
which is why i considered it
dsprc: go look at launchpad.net in the bugs section....
jagginess: i will try this first. downloading now.
marcio: so you only consider a distro if lots of people use it.
?
i only see a text boot interface to select boot devices. not graphic one. jagginess
well i am new to linux, so yes i am looking at what most people are using because i assume it is usually good
Oooops, there's probably helpful bootoptions for your install media-- i never used uefi.. but i think someone here said they did
marcio: lots of people use windows too ;)
good point
so does mint haver anything that is better than lubuntu?
marcio, and lots of people use a dialup internet too.
ActionParsnip: hackers still dont dictate the overall UX. canonical does from on high. this is why we have porn from amazon showing up in peoples lens
OBAMA! OBAMA! OBAMA! OBAMA! OBAMA! OBAMA!
jagginess: i just want find one who just use UEFI. :D
and at least mint doesnt steal from banshee
mats: please to the topic of support with Ubuntu
dsprc: the amazon thing is easily uninstallable, and is only installed in one of 4 Ubuntu flavours....
perhaps all motherboard embeded with UEFI now...
why can't i install unbuntu, lubuntu, xubuntu on my abit bp6? it just freezes on installation launch???
Oooops, if efi is too problematic**, you can try the hybrid mode and maybe try to force the installer not to look at efi
ActionParsnip: "one" being the flagship version however.  but i am glad we have the option to opt out of porn when trying to launch a terminal
mats: what video chip do you use?
Oooops, (and turn off "secure boot" if you have this option)
Oooops, (in the bios)
ati rage agp 8mb
if hackers where in charge you'd be able to enable them individually. not all or nothing.
jagginess: no see this.
dsprc: they are all supported here, one being some form of flagship doesn't mean much to me
no hybrid mode.
ati rage agp 8mb
damn windows
mats: try the boot option: nomodeset
is that
Oooops, option1 looked like a hybrid mode
is that one of the F# options?
jagginess: legacy only?
i select this before...
thanks guys
Oooops, is the harddrive gpt ?
in bios?
no found
Oooops, gparted live cd would say -- i don't know how strict this determines if the installer forces itself to efi if it sees a gpt drive
Oooops, maybe someone here knows (google this)
system will boot from any os other than UEFI enabled OS. <- legacy only option
my usb-create-gtk finished. i try it now. thanks.
does anyone know where a good howto can be found on setting up openldap/autofs for homedirs and auth for machines in a cluster?
I've got a little KVM vm lab that I created and I'd like all the machines in it to source this one machine, part of what I'm trying to learn with my VM cluster
seems 12.04 is more competent for video card in new laptop.  bless all goes ok. bless.
Oooops: It might be more competent just because unity2d is available on 12.04 but not on 12.10
why need unity 2d?
Oooops: Well, certain video cards don't handle 3D graphics properly
my old laptop is also drived well .
this new is 610 video card.
Oooops: unity2D is dead after Precise (although precise is supported til April 2017)
Probably means computers with older cards won't be supported anymore... Or will there be some crazy modification to Unity that will make it work without 3D as well, that is, the mainline?
The 3D will be done by the CPU if there is no 3D accell in the VGA
or just switch to a non Unity style session
ic
bad news. bad keyboard, i select into Russia interface... lol
Oooops: You can switch from Russian to English by hitting Alt-Shift as necessary.

can not understand,, seems not into live mode. lol
Oooops: Supposed to work at least, works for me
re click install icon.
Help needed! I need to print some files fast and it doesn't work.
When I press print in libre office nothing happens
User123: "nothing happens" is not helpful. Click this link: http://127.0.0.1:631/
User123: See if your printer is detected at all
User123: If not, add it by manually selecting the model
Clicked, how do I check if my printer is detected&
.
?
User123: Click "Administration" on top, see the "Printers" list on the left
No printers.
howcome /home folders are browseable by other users by default
User123: Try clicking "Find new printers"
(that will take a while)
No printers found.
lotuspsychje: Just some sort of standard I guess... It's the same on most Linux distros
User123: Okay, now what is your printer model?
theadmin: whats the correct chmod for /home so others cant browse content?
Canon. It's written FU7-8783 not sure if it is model.
lotuspsychje: You mean your home directory?
lotuspsychje: 700, I suppose.
theadmin:yes can /home dir be locked for other users
LBP6000
theadmin: ok tnx ill try
lotuspsychje: When you say /home, you're refering to the "home" directory on top of the filesystem, literally -- it stores ALL home directories. You don't want blocking access to that. Now $HOME (or ~) is your home directory
theadmin: yeah sorry i meant seperate /home/user
User123: Hm... Is it a network printer?
theadmin: so chmod 700 on /home/user would be safe to go?
lotuspsychje: Sure
theadmin: ok tnx mate
theadmin, connected to usb.
User123: Okay, first, download this: http://gdlp01.c-wss.com/gds/4/0900007724/12/Linux_CAPT_PrinterDriver_V240_uk_EN.tar.gz
User123: Unpack it and install the .deb files in there (sudo dpkg -i cndrvcups-{capt,common}.deb)
my laser printer CP105b is still no driver. usb interface...
use Virtualbox/ kvm to print. sad.
:D
theadmin, from RPM folder?
User123: Uh, no, from the Debian folder
grub-install success... i saw this line...
Oooops: did you check the openprinting.og site
Oooops: did you also chec the turnoprint site?
Hey
no,
Oooops: did you check the fujixerox site?
where i can download Debian ?
but i searched in forum. no find cp105b solve post
but install like ubuntu
ASHER1: ask in #debian
fujixerox web, i looked. not driver, only fireware.
Oooops: check turboprint and openprinting.org
hey all
ok
theadmin, ok, done.
maybe...
Oooops: I can recommend HP in future. The HPLIP is great and in a default install
theadmin, what next?
HP is expensive. lol ActionParsnip
User123: Next, sudo /usr/sbin/lpadmin -p LBP5000 -m CNCUPSLBP5000CAPTK.ppd -v ccp://localhost:59787 -E
User123: Err, my bad: sudo /usr/sbin/lpadmin -p LBP5000 -m CNCUPSLBP6018CAPTK.ppd -v ccp://localhost:59787 -E
User123: There
theadmin, done
User123: Ok, now try rebooting (just in case) and try to print again?
theadmin, ok, brb.
Oooops: you can get a Canon LBP7010C
really?
Oooops: same price, has Linux drivers
you say buy new one? noooo
Oooops: if you are using Linux try and buy things that are known tyo work and you won't have as much heartache
Oooops: instead of buying what is cheap then finding out after much ahir pulling that it just won't budge
i know printer only need a text ppd. i want wait for the driver.
Oooops: could contact the manufacturer
oooo, great . 12.04 is start. legacy only mode.
ActionParsnip: first i install new software on new laptop. printer is next problem. lol thanks.
theadmin, I'm back. Still doesn't print anything.
User123: Damn. Well then I'm outta ideas
There is printer now but it's status is Idle - "ccp send_data error, exit"
hello guys, can i get some help installing the new nvidia driver?
And 18k file is processing forever.
hi everyone
muji: sudo apt-get install nvidia-current
is there a way to see which version it is before installing?
cuz i know a new one came out today thats supposed to double gaming performance
muji: nvidia-settings tells you
ActionParsnip: before installing?
muji: if it does that, report a bug and it will get included sooner. I doubt it can give that sort of boost
quit
exit
bah
im new at this
ActionParsnip: it was released by nvidia today because steaming is moving to linux due to windows 8
Guest56761: try /exit
thanks
muji: fyi 1) installing the nvidia.com driver isn't the greatest idea on ubuntu.  #2) i think it's hilarious that nvidia+steam+win8=gnu/linux game platform -> really stange ;)  i'm excited about x2 nvidia performance as well, and gosh, "i" have forever to wait to have my distro support the newest nvidia that came out today.  (i don't usually suffer for sns, but for nvidia announcement on /. today - i do)
nvidia-experimental-310 fail..
muji: report a bug and it will get included, you may need to provide articales and such
theadmin, ok, time to go :( Thank you very much anyway!
ActionParsnip: even if its a ubuntu driver?
\o/
actually i freshly installed xubuntu 12.04 and started playing some song in gmusic browser but the songs start then no pauses then again starts in some time so i also tried with rhythm box and system audio is working fine
rahul__, cool.  then use rhythm box :)
no but rhythm box is also giving the same problem
scp -r ~/*  :D
hey stupid question but how do I run a script after all services have started? inittab?
dblosevn: add it in /etc/rc.local above the 'exit 0' line and it will run as root after everything
dblosevn: if it takes a long time to run suffix it with a space and an ampersand to background it
dblosevn: read about run level in linux
or add to Startup Program
is there a way to move an existing ubuntu system to a different hard drive? I'm asking because I want to install to an SSD but I don't want to have to do a complete re-install
ActionParsnip: thanks thats what I was looking for
heroandtn3: I knew of a couple ways I could get it to run at startup but was unclear on which way would run after all services were started
deper29, gparted?
its not a deamon so upstart wasnt really the way
meant0m: to migrate my existing install to a different drive?
deper29: if you try: your eth0 will become eth1 (as well as other devices possibly) - there is someway to reset the udev or something to correct it.  i wouldn't personally try to "move" an instalation
zykotick9: why not? it should be possible to migrate everything to a different drive shouldn't it?
deper29: possible - of course.  practical - questionable.
deper29,  if you can afford to do it, i say you can use gparted...
deper29: you can use rsync or dd to transfer over easily
deper29: I do that all the time, resize the partitions to the new ssd size then clone the partition gparted will do it, id boot to a flashdrive or something to do it though
ActionParsnip: might be a dumb question, but could I just cp instead of dd? then install grub on the new drive? or would that work?
zykotick9: a complete re-install is not practical for me :P
deper29: sure but remember to preserve ownership, you will also need to install grub to the mbr of the sd card
ActionParsnip: so could I just use parted to partition the new drive, then copy everything over and do grub-install to /dev/sdb1 or whatever my boot partition will be?
dblosevn: hm, so i think run level will help u
deper29: /dev/sda  not /dev/sda1
ActionParsnip: yes, my bad
deper29: understandable.  best of luck.  i'm uber-conservative-stability-mindeded, it affects my judgment of everything.
zykotick9: I'd just reinstall too
ActionParsnip: i added cd /var/www/mls;php run.php & to my rc.local and it doesnt seem to be running on startup should I put that in a bash script and try again?
hey, can anyone help me install projectM on arch x86_64?
the arch channel says i have to register, but I'm too lazy for that.  It's probably someting simple
projectM ?
How can i update my OpenGL drivers ?
yeah?
cliff_, what is that?
cliff_, if you're on archlinux, you have to ask in there.
and register your nick
it says i have to register or something
see the msg from ubottu
also, "sudo apt-get install projectm-pulseaudio' then "<alt+f2> projectM-pulseaudio"
fun program
cliff_: you have to edit /etc/pacman.conf
cliff_: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/ProjectM
dblosevn: I suggest you do, you can then background the script too. Anything you also want to add, just sling it in the script :)
I already did that.  enabled multilib, and added projectM repositories
but it's not relevant, because I'm downloading the package manually
cliff_: okay, if you added the repos did you sync them after? and what's the problem you're having then if you're just downloading the project manually?
yup
no, it installs
everything seems ok
but when i try to run it, i get nothing
cliff_: try running it in a terminal
so I'm assuming there is a problem
tried already
checked /bin, /usr/bin/ etc... and found nothing with project in it
cliff_: is the output useful?
it says "command not found"
that's the problem.  It acts like it installs, but I can't run it anywhere
cliff_: have you tried changing directory to the command and running it there
trust me, I've tried a bunch of stuff
what do you mean?
cliff_: did you add the install folder to $PATH
i didn't figure I had to do that
Where would the install folder be?
cliff_: yeah, it's not in sbin or something is it?
it was a src.tar.xz file
cliff_: well its obvious by the 'command not found' that you do
cliff_: where is the binary stored, and what is it called?
I can't find the binary :/
cliff_: what command are you typing
cliff_: so what are you running to make the app run?
wifi go disabled automaticaly after upgrading to new kernel
i downloaded it, and ran pacman -U <projectm>.pkg.tar.xz
hello guys, how can i see which version of nvidia gpu i have? i jsut tried to install the newest graphics driver, but don't know if it worked or not
lspci | grep gpu
cliff_: and did that give you an error of a sort? or did it install successfully?
"The OpenAL audio system failed to initialize.  You can get the most recent OpenAL drivers"  how do i fix this ?
cliff_: that's an arch command
cliff_, are you on arch?
cliff_: arch isn't supported here
cliff_: this is Ubuntu support. Not Arch supoprt
how can i enable my wifi again>
?
pradeep: what wifi chip do you use?
ifconfig wlan0 up

desti: sudo lshw -C display
hey everybody
what's the command to restart xserver?
rinzler: Depends on your display manager
theadmin: xfce
Yo
ciota
rinzler: That's not a display manager, that's a desktop environment
And I have no idea what Xubuntu uses
theadmin: ubuntustudio is the flavor that I used.
*use
rinzler: You can just hit Alt+SysRQ+K
theadmin: I don'
theadmin: nvm
rinzler: Well, generally speaking, sudo /etc/init.d/*dm restart
theadmin: how do I tell what my xserver is?
you guys heared Steam for linux betas was released yesterday
rinzler: You mean display manager. You are confused on your terms. A display manager is a tool managing user logins. X (server) is the core of any graphical interface. Finally, the desktop environment is all your panels and stuff, and the window manager is what draws window borders
rinzler: Generally, ls /etc/init.d/*dm will give you your display manager's name
Hi, i have a dell xps 13'' with ubuntu. the max screen resolution is 1366x768. Is there a way to increase this max resolution?
xro, not sure as i think thats the max res it supports i have a dell studio and thats my max too
theadmin: I'm gonna have to read up apparently. Apparently I have lightdm
rinzler: Ok, well you can use "sudo restart lightdm" then
theadmin: cool Thanks!
Fuzzles, max for what? hardware (screen or graphic card) or only for soft (max settings in a conf file)?
Hm, oh right, they switched to lightdm in *all* releases in 12.10
xro, hardware i think not 100% sure tho you should have the perfect res at that settings tho with no problem
Fuzzles, not really perfect... it's a bit to big for me... i'm looking for a way to increase it  bit

How can I get bash_completion to work with ssh? It used to work, but now ubuntu uses hashed known_hosts file, so as far as I can see, bash_completion haven't been updated to work with the new known_hosts format
Thor: You can't reverse a hash, so you can't determine what the domain is from the hash (you can only confirm it). So bash_completion would need to use another list of domains to allow you to tab complete domain names.

oh no not him again

It seems that, on Ubuntu 12.10, whatever is managing e desktop crashes on 75% of the boots
for example, any icons such as folders or files or photos aren't there and the context menu doesn't work
what should be restarted to get it back?
I gues smy question is, what is Unity's window manager called?
perhaps that is the wrong question.  the desktop shell is what is crashing
SoulShadow: maybe "killall unity" and then start it again with "unity" (not tested, dont know if there is a better way to restart unity without logout/login)
SoulShadow: wrong nick sorry
after upgrading to 12.10 i've lost sound and the graphics are very slow
hello

ubuntu 12.04, trying to install thunderbird version 2
should i maybe delete the newer version of thunderbird?
hi, i first come here. i'm glad to see anybody
n1: why using thunderbird2?
cause has an addon unavailable on newer versions
n1: and thunderbird is already precompiled, just extract the file and click on "thunderbird"
n1: dont use thunderbird2 because of security issues!!
n1: maybe debian is still maintaining icedove (thunderbird) version 3 with security fixes so you could have a look there but i would recommend to use the latest thunderbird version
hello, i installe dubuntu 12 as upgrade from 11, on 11 i had gnome classic, now after upgrade my window manager keeps crashing
how can i reinstall the WM?
iceroot in the extracted dir, there is only a file thunderbird-bin, not the one with the thbird logo (exe)
n1: thunderbird-bin is the executable
n1: and GNU/Linux does not have *.exe
there should be a script named "thunderbird" too
iceroot so what to use in the terminal to install it*?
n1: but as i said, dont use thunderbird2
n1: you dont have to install it
n1: just start it, its already precompiled and just waiting for you to start it
iceroot double-click does nothing
n1: please dont use thunderbird 2!
n1: we dont support that here
n1: sudo apt-get install thunderbird   to get the latest thunderbird with all security fixes
n1: for thunderbird support please use #thunderbird
n1: we dont support the downloaded version here, just the one ubuntu is offering
how can i activate my wlan card, the third-party-driver is already installed
anyone social who likes to chat on msn?
iceroot I have an older ubuntu on another terminal, don't see why I shouldn't try to run the older version, just to test that addon I need for mobile app
n1: you can do what you want but we dont support that here
what?
iceroot thanks anyway

Im trying to install software center but when i do my terminal says this can anyone tell me what it means?
Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree        Reading state information... Done Package software-center is not available, but is referred to by another package. This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only available from another source  E: Package 'software-center' has no installation candidate
any particular reason why would a non-user that creates a dir on /tmp it gets set to mode 700 (instead of say 775 by default) ?

hey anyone around?
llutz: sry, I meant a non-root user :)
llutz: *checking
llutz: 0002
hey i cant install software center can anyone help"?
liri: do you have any ACL set on /tmp?
llutz: how so?
llutz: you mean to take a look at getfacl /tmp ?
liri: man setfacl/getfacl.  "getfacl /tmp"
hello
can anyone explain to me what this means? Package software-center is not available, but is referred to by another package. This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only available from another source
mark_: "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install software-center"
sorry PC pro don't know Ubuntu

llutz: nothing out of the ordinary on getfacl
liri: no idea then, sry
is there a way i can open it into a txt document?
so itl be easier to read

should i just delete it?

but i dont think my apt-get update is working properly

help :( my ircd-hybrid keep telling me that i need to register first when using oper :( and google dont delivers any pages with solutions
mark_: nice to have that much 3rd party repos messing up the system :(
what does that mean?
mark_: 1st remove the ppa.launchpad.net from sources.list.
the first line... this one right here? deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/jonabeck/ppa/ubuntu jaunty main
mark_: those "404 ...." lines
its messing up my system?
so remove anyline that says pp.launchpad.net? or just one specific one.
mark_: comment them out, put a "#" on the beginning of each line containing a ppa
k thanks
mark_: then get the actual tor-gpg-key
mark_: then run apt-get update again
what does get the actual tor-gpg key mean
i # out all the ppa lines... but i still have 404 errors
mark_: the torproject signs its packages with a key you don't have, thus the "GPG error ...." when running apt-get update
oh so i need to get a "key"?
mark_: same for medibuntu and mate
does that mean my tor isnt working properly/
no, it just complains about missing keys and will ask "are you really sure to install untrusted packages"
oh yeah it does that
so i fix that by getting keys?
what does that mean? how do i get keys?
Running Ubuntu 12.10 64bit. Running "steam" or "steam steam://open/games" results in Installing breakpad exception handler for appid(steam)/version(1352224866_client)

mark_: "OPtion two tor on ubuntu or debian" see the section about gpg-keys

Usage: lsb_release [options]  lsb_release: error: No arguments are permitted
mark_: "OPtion two tor on ubuntu or debian" see the section about gpg-keys      just those 2 commands, not the entire stuff
my command prompt is terminal right?
yes
it looks like the gpg code was successful but update still has 404 errors

Hi, I need help with this: I got an email from my webhost: We've a big flood from your network and severals IP ... what does this mean? is my website hacked? or the hosting server?
mark_: just comment the "404" repos out  and check later WHY they fail. get the gpg keys for mate and medibuntu (should be provided on the projects website), then update again
mark_  type sudo apt-get update|pastebinit and paste the url here in the channel - maybe there are eol repos or so
http://paste.ubuntu.com/1339492/
* rootpt @ Alice In Chains - Nutshell.mp3
mark_  i mean the command 'sudo apt-get update'
rootpt: pls disable the np-script
y
sorry here u go
http://paste.ubuntu.com/1339493/
mark_: grep -r launchpad /etc/apt/sources.list.d/*
mark_  for a start, it's a mix of i386 and amd64, not sure if that's a problem
what does that mean llutz?
u want me to open /etc/apt/sources.list.d/*?
mark_: there seem to be more sources.list files containing lauchpad.net (failing)
mark_: just enter the command given above into a terminal
oh so what should i do?
ok i did
mark_: no output?
yeah it says a bunch of stuff
mark_: comment all those lines in those files out too, re-enable them later
http://paste.ubuntu.com/1339498/
how will i know which to reenable later?
is it possible to decrypt the MD5 ?
mark_: just re-enable them step by step and update, it will tell you errors
mark_: but 1st you should get your apt in a working state before
ezhilvanan: if you're referring to md5sum, no; if a file could be non-lossily represented by 32 digits, compression would be excellent :P
gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list.d/* only has one line
mark_: the "grep" command gave you the filenames to edit
about to install something via apt-get, but how do i ensure i'm grabbing the latest package? is there a repro update command or something?
anev: sudo apt-get update
ah
danke, good sir.

Hi
it doesn't get an IP, and i have to manually restart it with ifdown and ifup

I have to press multiple times to output   '
but if I am on pure console mode, all key is mapped correctly
lkthomas  system settings > keyboard layout
ah
I try to select keyboard model as generic
`z, do you have nameservers and are you using dhcp ,also try , sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart , then check if the networking daemon runs again after reboot
but 4 generic keyboard is incorrect
.
what to do with logging off problem on login lubuntu? no normal acc works, only guest
BluesKaj, as in, everything else works
all the other adapters to outside works
any idea ?
hi all
BluesKaj, to answer your question
`z well try my suggestion because the "if" isn't starting up and the init.d command I posted above should solve your problem
no, it doesn't
:/
question, I inserted my HDD with ubuntu into another machine, how can I tell it to rescan all the drivers and to try and find new ones
i cant join any channel on my ircd-hybrid server :( does someone has any experience with it?

i am unable to install ubuntu on my ultrabook can someone help me with installing ubuntu 12.10 on efi hardware
Isfirs_92, did you make an operator and then logged in as operator and set flags to the wanted channels
i cant use /oper, so how could i be operator :/
question, I inserted my hard drive with ubuntu into another machine, how can I tell it to rescan all the drivers and to try and find new ones

`z , well , good luck
thanks guys
ive op at localhost with name Isfirs.....
but i cant use commands......
it keep telling me that i ned to rgister first
*need
**register
purvesh: this might help https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI
so u need to /oper name password
Feedbook, Thanks for reply, let me see
CCK and the response keeps: register first. im not fallen on my head....
on sec
is it a xchat problem?
kk
if I install nvidia-current will that install the new driver released today?
could you paste your auth {} section of the config file
yea
pastebin plz, not in channel, some ppl would get angry XD
i know the goods of pastie :D
:)
hi. I'm not being able to connect to this pc through ssh... i get a connection timed out message
This is a much better pastebin ;) http://paste.debian.net
if i do: ssh user@localhost it works tho
CCK http://pastie.org/5340113
somethinginteres: probably not.. I doubt nvidia-current installs beta drivers.. (and when I checked this morning the new driver was still a beta driver)
i did complet file..
somethinginteres: but who knows.. keep an eye on it
fuu, wrong shit o.O
Noriandir, iptables -L in terminal or did you block the port on your router
that happens if u dont look before doing stuff...
happens
CCK, iptables: http://paste.debian.net/207179/
now its the right text on that link CCK
Noriandir, so the iptables are not being used so that's ok, do you have a router trough which you go to the net
Isfirs_92, ??
there: http://pastie.org/5340119 :o
CCK, yeah, that was the problem. the port was not forwarded =/
CCK, is there any default iptable rules that you recomend?
not really, just the one that blocks all incoming except for the outgoing connections that you use but on linux it is safe (except when it is exploitable)
Isfirs_92, try this on the user = "isfirs@127.0.0.1"; line try it as "*@127.0.0.1"; if that does not work try "*@localhost";
brb need to reboot
kk
plus
not sure if it is relative but your caps it wrong on that line
brb
CCK wb and no, still same error:/
(if it is an error)

JavaBot TestServer CAP * LS :multi-prefix before using /oper as last message
ok first off after editing the config file did you restart the service?
and JavaBot TestServer 451 * Isfirs :Register first
yes
so when you put /oper Isfirs password what does it tell yo
and JavaBot TestServer 451 * Isfirs :Register first <===
aha ok 1 sec
Slart: I tried to install it via the .run file and it said the "distro pre-install package failed. Continue anyway?" or something to that effect.
what does the .bin icon look like (the pink one with the wheels)?
somethinginteres: yea, that happens to me even with the regular binary driver
...i mean, the violet one
somethinginteres: it still works, or at least it does for me
Slart: roger that. Have you installed the new driver? Seems to boast many improvements.
somethinginteres: mm. I read that too and I went searching for it but when I saw that it was still in beta I figured I could wait a week or two to see if any problems show up.. so no, I haven't tried it.. yet =)
give me a min to go trough everything
Slart: ah fair enough
somethinginteres,  the R310 driver?
BluesKaj: yeah
o.O
Isfirs_92, in the logs/userlog or logs/operlog
do you have anything
where r the logs o.o

BluesKaj: 8800GTS
guessing /var/log but let me check
yes
somethinginteres, ok you should be fine for steam games , they're linux versions are in beta right now
can you paste those 2 logs
or can you see what is the problem
their linux versions rather
ircd.users is empty, same ans reject and auth
and the ircd-hybrid.log has stuff about loaded modules :/
ok for the user= line in operator
you have to match it how you would locally look
for instance if you are registering with isfirs@127.0.0.1 that is supposed to be your line
may I msg you so that we can leave this channel alone
BluesKaj: Good to know. Gotta get a key first :P
yea :)
What is the frequency for channel logs to be documented in the webpage?
Daily? Hourly? Every 10 mins?
ElixirVitae  apparentally every 30 minutes or so, just compared this screen with the log http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/2012/11/07/%23ubuntu.html

I installed a WM after installing Ubuntu without xorg. Now how do I start xorg? :)
What is the preferred way to start xorg in Ubuntu?
Pinchiukas: A display manager, such as lightdm: sudo apt-get install lightdm
Well, I was just curious if anyone knew about this issue and if anyone could help. And at least imho, it could be beneficial for Ubuntu if we debugged the steam client as fast as possible ;)
Pinchiukas: there are lots of guides on the interwebs
Walther: "we"? The Ubuntu team has nothing to do with Steam
Pinchiukas: just install lightdm; it will start automatically at boot
Walther, try reading this too for help: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/steam/ <- i've seen ppl there that have the same problem
theadmin: we as in the Ubuntu user base
I was not requiring anything from the official devs
Walther: Please see PM

 Hi all... Can anyone help me with setting flash video quality to medium or low??? Is there any configuration file in which I can set it, so that the change remains permanent.
disregard my last remark
rix1234,:) you can get a flash config tool in ubuntu-software-center
just search for "flash"
I forget it's name,and you can also find it in Adobe offical web site
jrib: thanks. :)

abhinav_singh,hi

Installed lightdm and gnome-user-guide was pulled with the dependencies? Seriously...
And 700MB of other crap.
Modemmanager too.
My god, the dependency tree sucks.
Pinchiukas: ...have you tried --no-install-suggests? :P
Yes.
A single package got excluded lol
This is pathetic. :D
Hm well. You can probably go with installing lxdm or something instead
But yeah this isn't ArchLinux, Ubuntu team don't get their deps straight for a long time now :/
I doubt the results will be different.
Pinchiukas: Oh, I get why what happened happened
I'm beginning to think that choosing Ubuntu was a mistake. :)
Pinchiukas: Unless you specify otherwise on command-line, lightdm will pull unity-greeter in, which depends on a lot of GNOME stuff
Pinchiukas: Choose a more lightweight greeter
More lightweight than lightdm? :D
For flip sake...
I am trying to use mic for recognising speech, However, there is a message "ad_oss.c(100): Failed to open audio device(/dev/dsp): No such file or directory Failed to open audio input device" any idea?
Something along the lines of: sudo apt-get install lightdm lightdm-webkit-greeter
Pinchiukas: ^
What is a greeter anyway?
Pinchiukas: A greeter provides the graphical interface for lightdm
Isn't lightdm a graphical interface itself?
Pinchiukas: Not exactly -- lightdm itself just provides the core stuff, it's very customizable, that's why the greeters are around
I seee.

I have a computer with a german keyboard (i.e. latin characters) and want to input Persian/Farsi characters. Since I do not know the Farsi keyboard layout very well, I would like to use an input method, that is able to translate phonetics transcriptions in latin to Farsi characters.
Is that possible with Ubuntu?
I tried to add Persian language support to Ubuntu (KDE Systemsettings / Regional Support / Language), but cannot figure out how to add an input method of the sort I described (I only find keyboard settings for the layout - which is not what I want to change).
Since I read on WikiPedia about iBus (and it being the default foreign input method in Ubuntu since a while), I tried to "apt-get install ibus ibus-qt4", but that did not show me any new options.

Hello. Is there a way to get more verbose information about a failure when using the mount command? Getting "mount error(13): Permission denied", but want to see if there is more than I can see than that error.
[conrad]: Are you running it as root?
any apt wizzards. I have two packages puppet and puppetdb. The puppet packages has been updated (should have happend) and i want to downgrade it. I want todo this bij remove the puppet package and installing/force the right version.
_Marcus: Yes, but that isn't the issue. It's with the actual configuration of users on the storage device.
problem is puppetdb depends on package puppet and when i do apt-get remove puppet it also wants to remove puppetdb
What does the bot do?
and that will not happen, i will be reinstalling puppet so i just want to remove puppet

hello
meghal: greetings
ubuntu 12.10 is compactible with dell inspiron n5110
???
meghal: yes
so I'm wondering why when I ssh into my freebsd machines there is no delay whereas when I ssh into most of my ubuntu machines there is a delay except for the ones still running 8.04
philinux: that didn't seem to work.  I added the .desktop file to .local/share/applications and added the mime type to the mimtypes.list file and it still does not  show up in the applications list.
forward and reverse dns are working fine
meghal: exactly what happens during install
why after several weeks of usage nautilus becomes too slow 12.04
when i boots via usb it shows fat error
JuJuBee: u may need to log out and back in maybe
unable to access fat32 someting like that
meghal: so the USB itself fails to boot properly?
no its start booting
meghal: fat error on usb?  or on the target hard drive?
but then after its shows this error and some time its shows ubuntu loading symbol but noothing comes up
when i click install ubuntu to hard disk
then its shows like this
meghal: ok.  did you md5sum check the iso before you made your boot USB
?
no
join #ubuntu-de
how to do that
i just downloaded iso file
from ubuntu
meghal: highly recommend you check the iso.  60 seconds of effort to verify you got a good iso ...
k
but i downloaded it from ubuntu official site only
we need alt for 12.10
meghal: understood.  nevertheless, bad iso's happen to good people.  Indulge me ...

Hello!
Megalas: greetings
Is a staff member here?
cfhowlett: Hi! Have i speak with you yesterday?
Megalas: volunteers
Megalas: don't think so ...
cfhowlett: Are you a staff member?
Megalas: no.  Like most of us, only a volunteer
cfhowlett: What`s a volunteer?
Megalas: I don't work for Canonical or ubuntu.
cfhowlett: Can you speak german?
winmd5 cheksum when i click calculate it give out nothing
Megalas, take the chit chat elsewhere
cfhowlett: very true about bad iso's. I had one like that the other day
wyclif: as Forrest Gump says "***t happens"
meghal: best to run md5sum and verify it
meghal: what do you mean it gives nothing?

u just anser my question
what next i have to do
?
meghal: assuming you've got a good iso, I'd suggest you re-do the USB preferably with a different USB stick
will it be ok for kingston
>
jiffe98: what do you mean by delay?
meghal: usb sticks can fail.  I'm suggesting you eliminate that as a possible cause of your errors
so what else any other way?
meghal: you could always burn a CDROM ...
then send it to my address
jparkton: so your saying to upload it as a PDF file and download it as a HTML document?
right now i dont have any free dvd
meghal: OK.
when will u send it?
You used the Ubuntu USB Startup Disk creator to make the USB?

the R600 ATI driver in 12.10 is giving me some problems with the 3.5.0-18 kernel. Using vgaswitcheroo on my laptop, it uses the resolution of my laptop monitor, not the external monitor, and I lose my monitor screen.

ix_, since its VGA you probably need to specify your own modeline. you will have better success with something like HDMI

Hello
rymate1234: Use gnome3 :P
Erik_D, might get that
XD
Erik_D: "When helping, be helpful"
rymate1234, change your desktop manager to gnome3 + cinnamon and you will be glad of what you accomplished
ix_, probably because the monitor isn't telling the computer the range possible (since you are plugging into an an analog channel) if you were plugged into a digital channel (like HDMI) your probably would likely disappear
Myrtti, I'm quite happy with using an alternative until unity is usable :)
rymate1234  install preload and prelink, then type sudo sed -i s/PRELINKING\=unknown/PRELINKING\=yes/g /etc/default/prelink
sudo /etc/cron.daily/prelink
if a tarball says it's for i586 systems, what does that mean exactly? does it work for x86 32-bit ?
escott, ok, but I have a pc with vga only
MonkeyDust, something tells me that isn't going to fix issues with laggy scrolling, but thanks anyway :P
Myrtti: That was helpful, Gnome3 has a lot of the tablet-type UI features people like about unity, without the bloat.
ix_, i know that... im just stating you go over an analog channel you lose features
escott, and by the way, if I connect the laptop to the tv, the correct resolution appears in xrandr
rymate1234: the main aim should be to help with whatever problems you've got, not to just suggest other options, in general. While you might be happy with using an alternative, it's not a recommended way of bypassing the problem.
through vga
escott, so vga is not the problem
ix_, perhaps the PC cannot drive at that resolution then
escott, really? :))
http://on.fb.me/SqxBgG & http://bit.ly/TI8Rnq please take a look at it and give me feedback :(
Myrtti: Who cares? it's a possible solution to his problem. I don't see many other people with ideas, so it's better than nothing.
escott, it's a decent pc, ubuntu just does not recognize something critical somewhere
lol
Erik_D: I care. :-(
rymate1234: have you tried the 2Dmode_
Robbilie, wrong channel
Myrtti, I thought that was removed in ubuntu 12.10
dough just clicked one lower than i wanted :D
you might be interested in it anyways ;)
what means !ot?
rymate1234  guess i missed the scrolling part in your question
ix_, there are a lot of possible reasons.. you can see what the monitor reports by checking the EDID information. it gets dumped to the /var/log/Xorg.0.log. often times the EDID is wrong so its entirely possible the version of Xorg you have sees the resolution and rejects it as unreasonable for some reason, but it could also just be too big
Robbilie  it means offtopic
thansk ;)
Robbilie, its offtopic here. please stop
but as i said, it wsnt meant for this channel anyway :D
escott, the ubuntu wiki says this: It is possible, that resolutions higher than 1024x768 (or 800x600.. 640x480) are not avalaible by default, because the videocard isn't recognised propely.
I think this is the case
== philinux i couldn't resolve the pre-requisites as suggested, most especially the glibc and etc http://www.activestate.com/komodo-ide/requirements linux requirements
escott, I'll try the workaround
ix_, i would start at your Xorg.0.log it should tell you why it is rejecting the higher resolution

abhitest: create an encrypted lvm and put root/home/swap in there
koegs, ewwww why would one do such a horrid thing... killer use VNC to access ubuntu gui from windows
abhitest: depends on your own preferences and wishes. Separate /home might make things easier, but having separate encrypted partitions also means you need to decrypt them at boot.
Myrtti: koegs my home swap and / are seaparate. but they all are 'inside' lvm. so is encrypting lvm 'only' is enough'  or for better sucurity i should ecrypt the whole lvm + the separate home,swap and / inside that lvm?
abhitest: encrypt the lvm AND encrypt all the partitions inside? does not make sense for me :D
koegs: ok

Hello,  I need some help restoring my MBR so I can boot windows again.  Things I tried:  Burning a recovery CD (wont burn under backtrac), ran install-mbr as described here.  Now I have a cannot find file message when windows VISTA tries to boot.  Any help is appreciated!
* musl chuckles
DarkAceLaptop, the command you are typing is for something not installed on your computer. It runs command-not-found which makes suggestions (install package X for command Y) but the command not found database is corrupted. i would remove the command-not-found program and reinstall it. have you had other instances of corrupted files?
Hi ;)
escott, I'm on the LiveCD, of which I have installed already (but lost the installation) with no issues of this before
maybe the disc is scratched?
walterwoj, you are probably going to have to take that question to a windows channel. from our perspective windows booted... its a problem with MSFT if something in windows is screwed up
\o/
ok
escott I understand but the only way into the computer I currently have is through a backtrac live CD
walterwoj, then you are doubly in the wrong channel as backtrack has its own channel
walterwoj, so go to their support channel
where could I find a list of the configure options used for a specific package?
I hear autoconf makes config.nice or something; I'm wondering where I would find such things
#backtrack-linux   <----- walterwoj
lol
walterwoj, i would suggest you get yourself a windows rescue CD or a windows install CD. there is basically nothing you can do from linux to fix a broken windows boot
it might be a bad disk, escott, since mozilla firefox is crashing when trying to open that page
Any ideas how to fix the nvidia-current issue on ubuntu 12.10?
is there a command I should run to check my disk?
DarkAceLaptop, this was a liveCD right? it has a boot option to verify the disk contents (i think you hold down shift during the boot or something like that)
DarkAceLaptop: do you have package "syslinux" installed? check "ls -l /usr/lib/syslinux/mbr.bin"
llutz, -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 440 Jan 31  2012 /usr/lib/syslinux/mbr.bin
that's what it returns
DarkAceLaptop: if you need to restore a windows-MBR you can dd this file into the MBR "dd if=/usr/lib/syslinux/mbr.bin of=/dev/sda", use at your own risk
DarkAceLaptop, if its ext3/4 then "fsck"
--> man fsck
ohai
I'm on LiveCD, would that be ext3/ext4?
lol
How to fix nvidia-current ubuntu 12.10 issue?

or a harddrive at all, for that matter
DarkAceLaptop, i dont know what youre trying to to. I just answered your question about checking the disk
but something is wrong with the CD, or the CD reader
wow
cinnamon is much better than Unity

DarkAceLaptop: sry for confusion, picked the wrong nick
subz3r0, I'll try it

Any fixes for the nvidia-current issue?
Walther, repeating the same question x times in x minutes is kinda useless and annoying.
anyone want help.?
explain what the "current" issue should be. dont know what youre talking about
Installing nvidia-current on ubuntu 12.10 makes compiz crash on login
subz3r0, I don't know how to do that: someone gave me the link on how to do it, but my Mozilla is crashing, which would indicate even more that there's some read/write issues
and it is not restartable
Hello
Is anyone here
I need help installing skype
Pummpy1  activate the partner, then install it the normal way
DarkAceLaptop, like I mentioned before, I do not know anything about your issue. I just answered the question how you can check the filesystem of your disk. Also this answer was just one example, there are others.
Hello, is anyone here? I need help installing skype
Pummpy1  activate the partner repo, then install it the normal way
Monkey how do i do that?
Walther, did you try to reset compiz?
Pummpy1 https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Skype
like backup the config files, del them and give it another try?
when are theymgo
it's having issues, that's for sure
$ gedit
bash: /usr/bin/gedit: Input/output error
It say's password monkey
now what?
Does anyone know any channel for tomboy notes?
okai, brb as "DarkAceZ"
is there an arm for ubuntu?
ohi
MonkeyDust It say's I need a password. What do I type?
ircnode0  https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ARM
Pummpy1, your root password?
jmfurlott what is that?
hi all
Im new to ubuntu ;(
where can I ask about kerenl compiling?
Pummpy1, you are the one that set it when you installed ubuntu
its what gives the user access to root
Pummpy1  did you install ubuntu yourself?
jmfurlott, be careful with your terminology. that password is not root's password. root's account is locked and he/she has no password
subz3r0, yeah, I just restarted and it says "Operating System not found"
I'd just go in terminal and type sudo su -
then put my password
Pummpy1  try ubuntu as password, then, just guessing
DarkAceZ, oO:.. well sounds like you crashed the boot loader
search google how to fix it :) or maybe any1 else in here can explain that to you. i gotta go. good luck
escott, you're right but he should still be able to have access from sudo
or my disk reader isn't connected properly :P
Does anyone know any channel for tomboy notes?
DarkAceZ, sorry I think I missed some of this, but what did you do prior to experiencing that error?  is this straight after installation?
MonkeyDust when I type the command sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ $(lsb_release -sc) partner" in terminal. I can't type in it
bpuzzled, I was running off of the LiveCD, since I don't currently have a harddrive
Pummpy1, reboot and choose the recovery session. it will drop you to a root prompt type "passwd monkey" (assuming monkey is your username) and put in a new password twice at the prompts. then type "reboot" on the next reboot you can login with that password
anyone, is it possible to installed Ubuntu by putting the ISO on an SD Card, and then locking the card before booting?
Pummpy1  better take escott 's advice
how do you check the username?
Pummpy1, im a bit confused now. how did you get logged into the system to begin with if you dont know the password? is it set to autologin?
Pummpy1: grep ':1000:' /etc/passwd
It must be
is it possible to installed Ubuntu by putting the ISO on an SD Card?
Pummpy1, type "whoami" at the prompt
install*
what;s the prompt?
DarkAceZ, almost certainly not
terminal
why?

DarkAceZ, it needs bios support. ive never heard of a bios supporting an SD card
oh
DarkAceZ, and there are bioses out there (older ones) that cannot boot USB
Pummpy1, odd choice for a username. in that case at the rescue prompt the command would be "passwd aa"
escott So can you tell me what to do please :)
I know the username now :)
Pummpy1, so reboot, press shift (i think?) to get the grub prompt. find the rescue prompt option in the grub menu, wait for the terminal prompt to come up. do the "passwd aa" followed by "reboot" should set you up to do what you need (assuming aa is in sudoers)
how to upgrade system ubuntu from CDROM
?
Pummpy1, before you do that paste in the output of "groups"
brb
cdromupgrade ?
m3asmi, boot the cd, install as upgrade... not sure. why do you want to do it this way?
escott: that's an offline upgrade method
escott; using https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OneiricUpgrades I didn't find the cdromupgrade
gear4_away, what graphics card?
Im back
didnt work :L
Pummpy1, didn't work meaning... you didnt find the recovery prompt or sudo is not working
cant find recovery prompt
Pummpy1, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecoveryMode
Pummpy1, before you jump away can you please type "groups" into the terminal and paste the output here
aa adm cdrom sudo dip plugdev lpadmin sambashare
m3asmi: what you can also do is download the updates without installing them, burn them to disc, then add the cdrom as a 'repo' source
That bad?
Pummpy1, no thats fine. i just wanted to check one thing since someone else set this up for you
OK :)
escott, MSI r6850 Cyclone IGD5 Power Edition
So when i get the console thing
prompt
what do i type
sorry for this. It just i want skype :)
Pummpy1, once you get to recover it is "passwd aa" it will ask for the new password twice then "reboot" thats all you have to do. the only hard part is getting the timing correct on when to hit shift to bring the grub prompt up
ok brb
gear4, and are you using fglrx (proprietary) or radeonhd (open source) drivers?
escott, I proprietary
crimsommane: then  ?
gear4, and how did you install that.. manually or through jockey
escott, through jockey I think
let me check
gear4, in 12.10 jockey went away in favor of some other tool in the software-sources gui
gear4, but all those tools just install the fglrx package
escott, I don't have 12.10
<gear4> my Ubuntu desktop (on it atm) is TERRIBLY slow after I upgraded to Ubuntu 12.04 using the terminal upgrade/OS upgrade download. Right now I'm on GNOME Classic without any fancy effects, and it's a little faster, not much. I also had GNOME3 last time, and now I only have GNOME Classic ...
jockey-gtk I got
appdata://
gear4: check for anything pounding the system using "top"
heey
jrib, I can't see anything
salam alaykoom
gear4: ok well can you be more specific about this apparent sloowness?
-o
jrib, I can't actually - I've just noticed that my GNOME3 isn't, GNOME3-ish
it's GNOME Classic
and my Unity is way too big
gear4: so does it just "look funny"?
gear4, ie GLX is missing because the graphics drivers are not set up correctly
jrib, no, it's very very slow
* jrib is confused
why is ubuntu refusing to update the kernel packages?
i get
The following packages have been kept back:
AMDAthlon: what did you run?
  linux-headers-generic linux-image-generic
AMDAthlon, apt-get dist-upgrade
sdu apt-get upgrade
oh
jrib, I let's put it like this: I have gnome-shell, but, it's not GNOME3, it's GNOME Classic, and it used to be GNOME3
entering messages fast is flooding?
AMDAthlon: the way the kernel packages are setup, the "linux-image-generic" package will get new dependencies (depend on the newer kernel).  Apt won't install a package because of new dependencies unless you use "dist-upgrade"
escott, could you explain better ?
ok! how can i delete the older kernel files?
AMDAthlon: no, but using "enter" instead of a "." is ;)
AMDAthlon: just remove the appropriate linux-image-generic-* package
ok thanks!
gear4, you got dumped to gnome-classic AKA 2d because your graphics drivers are not set up correctly and you have no GLX visual so you cannot support a compositor.
hi there
just installed xbuntu
escott, does that also back up the extreme slowness I've been getting ?
and im loving it
hello
hi mohanned, great!
gear4, my suspicion would be that you installed the fglrx manually by downloading the *.bin from AMD and therefore the kernel version change has broken your kernel module and you need to rebuild. if you installed through jockey then you should have gotten the upgraded fglrx package to match your kernel
very lightweight and extremely reliable
escott, I did install VIA Jockey
What needs to be done to change the polling rate of a ps/2 mouse from 100 Hz and be some other value ?
I used the additional package installer
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 libglib2.0-0 : Breaks: gnome-control-center (< 1:3) but 1:2.32.1-0ubuntu15 is to be installed
E: Broken packages
gear4, slowness is a very subjective thing and most people mean high latency. i dont really know what you perceive as slowness.
I've got a really basic question about installing programs. Say I'm using Geany from the repos. I run *apt-get install geany* and it installs. Then I realize that there is a newer version that I can get off of github and I download that version too. If i compile and install the github version does it replace the version that was previously installed?
escott, slowness i.e. I press ALT+TAB and the box pops up after ~6 seconds
gear4, i would reinstall the fglrx package and check your Xorg.0.log file to see if it reports any problems. also check if the fglrx module is loaded by running "lsmod"
mahanned salam alaykom
meowsus: nope, you now have two versions installed.  One managed by apt and one that you are responsible for
meowsus: well, unless you did something funny
gear4, that would be unreasonable for a graphics card issue. something else must be going on. check "top"
escott, I don't see fglrx as loaded
xangua :  trying to upgrade to ubntu 11.10
salam alaykom ucefkh
jrib: Oh, i didn't do anything funny. I deleted the apt version then installed the github version
I was just curious
esc are you here?
How can I get info about CPU cache type installed on my notebook?
jrib: thanks!
gear4, when you get fglrx module properly loaded you should be able to choose gnome-shell. i need to get going
escott, thing is, it only happens in UNITY, GNOME 2d has very little slowness compared
mih1406, /proc/cpuinfo
MonkeyDust are you here?
escott, this only gave me cache size and alignment, which is fine, but I am also looking for cache *type*, cache access time, cache latency
jrib: hey, one more question. since this program is from github, when there is a new version, I assume I can download the source, recompile and reinstall and THAT will replace the version automatically.
escott are you here?
meowsus: yes
jrib: righteous
thanks again
meowsus: you should really check for a ppa though so you don't have to do it yourself
or leave :(
I think I'll have to reinstall the entire OS
but I don't want to :/
I'm looking to learn and understand the process of updating the kernel. I usually see a command mkinit ldconfig, etc. Where can I get an overview of the procedural steps to follow when dealing with updating the kernel?
Hey! That may be of little relevance to Ubuntu, but can any of you recommend me a waterproof laptop backpack? I just bought what Dell claimed to be waterproof and it didn't manage to stay dry during a 5min shower.
Aleksander: offtopic, but you should speak to dell about it.  #ubuntu-offtopic might have some suggestions for you
jrib, thanks
how do I install VirtualBox Guest Additions in Ubuntu???
Aleksander, there
are merchandise that you might be interested in. Check it on ubuntu website

Pumpkin-_, can you repeat your problem?
I need help installing adobe flash
It wont work
Pummpy1, give the error
Pummpy1, what Ubuntu are you using?
Pumpkin-_, sorry for missclick
why are things so easy in Windows and so complicated in Liinux ??
EvilAngel: because you're used to Windows and not used to Linux
EvilAngel: I find everything much more difficult in Windows
EvilAngel, I've been using Linux for 8 years and it's completely opposite for me ;P
I find it all the same ..
EvilAngel: that's mostly because I'm a complete Windows n00b and only used it for the first time a few months ago
EvilAngel: The price you pay to have absolute control over the OS?
Pummpy1, which Ubuntu OS version ?
gear4 32 bit
Pummpy1, which version ? 10.10, 11.04, ?
gear4 12.10
Pummpy1: Do uname -r or -a
I find OSX the easiest and Windows the hardest :)
Pummpy1, and what about repositories?
Pummpy1, first try: sudo apt-get update
MelRay, gordonjcp, Aleksander installing guestadditions in windows is ONE buttonclick!!!
EvilAngel: I don't understand what you mean
gear4  someone installed it for me, and i dont know the password
Pummpy1, what about repositories? Have you enabled all of them?
Aleksander what is that?
Aleksander, I think I know why: It comes from the partner repository. We must just wait until Adobe offers a package for Precise.
I'm not trolling now but often when I'm using linux it feels like the OS hates me
gear4, there is one
EvilAngel: ... because you're not used to it
Aleksander, is there ?
gear4, I'm using one now
EvilAngel: it's a bit like learning another language
from ubuntu-restricted-extras
Pummpy1, when you do "sudo", just type your password
the one you use to login
EvilAngel: but anyway, this is really a discussion for
Aleksander, oh ._.
EvilAngel: but anyway, this is really a discussion for #ubuntu-offtopic
Pummpy1, go to Settings, and Software sources
and check the boxes for Canonical Partners
of course ^^
in the second tab
and it should be all right
you can install package named "ubuntu-restricted-extras", it's really automagical
hi, anyone know why known_hosts doesn't have IPs or hostnames, jsut something that looks like |1|hash|hash

i have uninstalled apache2 and apache2-utils. Now I want to install it again but I'm having problems with missing a2dissite module from apache-utils as seen at http://codepad.org/BTb6kiOy
yes
Please how do I proceed?
hello!
drecute: why are you doing this in the first place?  And isn't the issue with puppetmaster-passenger?
pak
jrib: i had a few problems getting phpmyadmin to run so I decided to uninstall apache2 and reinstall
drecute: well you need to sort out the issue with puppetmaster-passenger
but I guess during uninstall of apache2, the order of removal got corrupted somewhere
drecute: why are you passing -f to apt-get anyway?
jrib: any ideas please
jrib: because ordinary install didn't work so I thought of telling it to ignore dependencies
ive noticed something that seems dangerous about ubuntu
or best bet, fix the dependency problem
drecute: have you done sudo apt-get -f install
while plugged in my laptop battery is slowly losing charge
L3mce: that's what is in codepad
How can fix this problem : http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/showthread.php?p=4824356#post4824356
doh... so it is...
mah454_, for suse?
no , ubuntu
mah454_, what version
12.04
drecute: that's not what -f does
drecute: if it were me personally... I would edit /var/lib/dpkg/info/puppetmaster-passenger.postrm and remove the reference to a2dissite
drecute  -f means fix
jrib: -f  Attempt to correct a system with broken dependencies in place
drecute: anyway, what happens when you just install apache2?
drecute: yes, I meant -f does not "ignore dependencies"
jrib: similar error with -f
bazhang: monitor standard resolution is 1280x1024

Hi, I just installed Ubuntu 12.10, and I have a question. How do I get out of the command console and on to the gui interface? (and startx did not work)
amphigory, check the ram
jrib: http://codepad.org/rGAzwxVa
drecute: make im fix it, i will learn
drecute: just do: sudo apt-get install apache2 puppetmaster-passenger, then apt shouldn't try to remove it
jrib: 12.10, upgraded from 12.04
subz3r0: did that, it checks okay.
amphigory: then no, I haven't seen that :)
amphigory, only one run or more?
subz3r0: just one run
16gigs of ram will take a long time to check. do 2-3 complete checks
subz3r0: but its absolutely consistent in only seeing 12GB
amphigory, also the memcheck shows only 12 gigs instead of 16?
Hi, I just installed Ubuntu 12.10, and I have a question. How do I get out of the command console and on to the gui interface? (and startx did not work)
amphigory, i've really no clue. but I would test it just in case with a live cd/dvd to make sure that your system is not missconfigurated in any way
hi
hi intore
subz3r0: not sure.  dmidecode is showing one of my dimms as 2GB.  But that would make it 14GB, not 12.  POssible that it's "mapping" the other dimm down to 2GB so that it matches the other dimm for dual channel purposes?

Hi, all. I just installed Lubuntu and I have problem with sounds. I can't hear any sounds. Nothing is muted in alsamixer and I can see ICH5 device with aplay -l
I had the same problem before when I installed Ubuntu 7.10 to this machine, but I've forgotten how to fix it.
Anyone?
try opening pavucontrol via terminal
check output device
"The program pavucontrol is currently not installed"
Should I install that?
Hai there, I have Ubuntu 12.04LTS, I just plugged in my huge screen via HDMI and I have no sound on my laptop speakers (big screen don't have their own speakers), how can I fix that?
gnnr: I typed pavucontrol in the terminal window and it says it's not installed. Should I install it with apt-get=
tupu, it's something to try
does lubu tu  use pulse audio?u
ive never noticed. ;-)
ok installing pavucontrol now
Not sure what it uses.. first time using Lubuntu now (just installed it 20 minutes ago)
Quick question. How do I install java?
tupu: First thing to do is verify what Ubuntu thinks is the correct sound device..sometimes there is a separate HDMI port that gets selected over the correct
I remember it was very simple fix last time
Pummpy1: Search in google....
In sound settings panel I have only "HDMI/Display Port Audio Device" :s
MelRay, dont suggest that here
MelRay: ok, thanks, I've tried googling it and gone as far as the Manual Installation part of this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting
maciek:  the pavucontrol tool may help ypu select the right audio out
dr_willis,  i use lubuntu, had some issues with sound installing pavucontrol with pulse made it easier to solve
MelRay: The problem is, I have no idea what is the name of my soundcard's driver
dr_willis: I'll check, thank you.
derp default channel :U
MelRay: So when I try to type "sudo modprobe snd-ich5" it says incorrec.t..I have no idea how to find what is the name of my soundcard's driver
;(
i always have lubuntu. ubuntu both installed.
How do I install minecraft?
meh, i opened up irc to go elsewhere but maybe you lot can help me
so i've got a backtrack system (in b4 not standard can't help)

segaloco, so go to backtrack support
okay :U i just thought i'd ask while this was open
segaloco, its not supporte d here #backtrack-linux for bt support
tupu: try lsmod to see what modules are loaded..
okay, well thanks for the refer
tupu, is it a laptop? do you know the brand of soundcard? lspci -vv might help you
MelRay: Ok, I ran lsmod and I see names such as snd_intel8x0, snd_ac97_codec
dr_willis: yeah, it works! Thanks a lot, bye.
tupu: Ok so it has the sound driver for intel and ac97... What computer model are you using?
MelRav: I tried both, but neither produces sounds
Fujitsu-Siemens Scenic C
how can i install ubuntu from windows without using CD or USB ?
is there a way to check installed dependencies for a package you already have on your system (non-repo package .deb)
MelRay Fujitsu Siemens Scenic C
Break, odd question, without cd/usb you can install ubuntu tru PXE from a direct connection to a pxe server.
Break, in a vm, or do you want dual boot?
gnnr: Dual boot
MelRay: I tried commands: sudo modproble snd_intel8x0 and sudo modprobe snd_ac97_codec, neither of them helped
xangua: no, ubuntu (dual boot)
tupu: Ok open system settings and select multimedia...there should be an option named phonon if you select it that will tell you what sound card is detected
tupu: lsmod tells you what modules are already loaded....you don't need to load the modules since they are already present...we have to make sure the correct drivers are loaded for the detected soundcard
Break, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/Netboot that's the best info I can give you
gnnr: thanks :-)
MelRay: Unfortunately I'm unable to find System Settings in this Lubuntu.. I've tried to look for it, but it's not where it used to be in Ubuntu
hey dr_willis do you know of a way to check what dependencies an already install .deb package is using? (it's a beta, so I can't find documentation)
gnnr you refering to steam?
MelRay: I found System Profiler and Benchmark, under thre I can see information such as soundcard
gdebi foo.deb       should pull in needed depends
MelRay: Intel Corporation 82810EB/ER (ICH5/ICH5R) AC'97 Audio Controller (rev 02)
MelRay: When I look into detailed information of this audio controller, under Kernel modules it says snd-intel8x0
I deleted eclipse by "apt-get remove eclipse" however when I type "eclipse" on the command line, I get this output "/usr/bin/eclipse: 21: /usr/bin/eclipse: /usr/lib/eclipse/eclipse: not found" is there a way to remove all eclipse related files completely?
MelRay: When I play music in an adio program, it seems to be playing it normally (no errors or anything), I just can't hear anything
dr_willis, pretty much, thanks
tupu: is it muted?
chisholm: I just turned up all of the volumes, I can hear the music very quietly from inside the computer
chisholm: Maybe it's some jack detection problem? I remember I had the same problem before
Since a few day, I can't get google-talk plugin to work! Tested with FF and Chromium. But video + voice is working with other tools (like Skype). I have been searching for too long. Any idea where I should look for?
chisholm: Is there any way to force it to play it from the headphone plug in the back of the PC
tupu, seems like you might need to edit your sound.rc file I've done that before for alsa. http://alsa.opensrc.org/FAQ026
using uvcvideo driver
err ~/.asoundrc
tupu: alsamixer might help you out too
chisholm: Thanks
:)
tupu, look at the first example this may solve your issue, not sure if restart needed
minitube is not in the repos?
How do I map a bullet point (special character I assume) to a key combo?
I found the problem
Headphone Jack Sense had to be turned off in alsa mixer
Thanks for the help all

tomirc, which ircd
basically, which ever you suggest. tried ircd-hybrid from repo, couldn't even connect. tried ircd-ircu. connected but keeps comaplaining about connecting to fast and throttelling
tomirc, better to ask in their support channel really
ok. thanks bazhang
How can I block a specific outbound port that my virtualmachine uses (NAT'd network)
using iptables for example
Jake - block it from doing what? and where? on the host or the guest?
I want to block the outbound traffic from this post
jake - try prerouting, before doing NAT, and block from the internal address.
which virtualization software are you using?
virtualbox
''
"
no specific idea for virtual box, but you can try iptables with prerouting which works before the NAT is done.
tomirc Would you have the exact PRErouting command for me? :)
I'd have to google it. don't remember by heart
or wait
sorry
Yea, I just remembered that virtualbox doesn't virtualize that easily
Just upgraded to 11.10 from 11.04 on Monday when support went away. Things are "fine" (hate Unity), but now there's a zillion copies of each app in the system settings window
It's not a problem (yet), but I wonder has anyone else seen that?
I reckon I should have gone to v12........
It's pretty damn weird
Clues?
Hints?
Ideas as to where to sniff for clues?
Bag o donuts?
hi! how can I boot into gnome classic on Ubuntu 12.10?
so my hdd got a hit, ubuntu is unable to boot, disks utility on live-usb tells there is bad sectors and /home is unaccessible with input/output error. any way to save data from /home?
huh123huh  install fallback, logout, select classic, login
huh123huh, install gnome-panel yet?
huh123huh: I don't believe that you can
chaconne, sure you can
Great!
* MonkeyDust uses classic
bazhang: not yet I havn't. should I just do apt-get install like MonkeyDust said or apt-get install gnome-panel first then fallback?
huh123huh, gnome-panel then select classic at log in
ok thanks a ton!!!!
So,no love for my question....?

Hi folks, trying to unzip the Android 4.1.2 folder but Terminal keeps saying - tar (child): Error is not recoverable: exiting now
Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?
Hello, I have installed Nvidia's drivers and they work
my issue is with my second monitor, at the login prompt it displays correctly
when logged in the resolution is wrong or perhaps the vsync, hsync
or a combination
GaryMcEwan, http://linux.bigresource.com/Ubuntu-Servers-Error-is-not-recoverable-exiting-now-tar-Child-returned-status-2-tm0XxtWzt.html
But the code I'm trying to enter into Terminal is....tar zxvf nakasi-jro03d-factory-e102ba72.tgz
Well, so lets say I have 20G for the backups of my /home - which is currently 2.5G - then I'm going to have max. 40 volumes, and bacula will start reusing them AFTER creating volumes, even if the volume retention period already passed?
try, tar xvjf filename
Nope im afraid that hasn't worked either
I have installed Lubuntu 11.10 but chose to upgrade to 12.04 & just a few minutes I tried using my LXTerminal to upgrade further to 12.10 .. there was some sort of prob when the Upgrade Pkg Mgr tried to do an automated upgrade on startup but no error msg was given except that there was a prob, that I needed to ck my internet connection (it's fine), my installation media (a 4g & 16 g SSD) or to retry (I did, w/ same results, 2x
Anyone got any ideas?
Cause this makes it a massive pain
I have to reset the second monitor EVERY TIME I LOGIN
shit man i feel you
GaryMcEwan, unzip and untar separately
So yeah, any ideas? I'm screwed otherwise
can anyone suggest something I can try to find out what is going on?
gunzip XXXXXXX-1.2.0.tar.gz
gunzip Doctrine-1.2.0.tar.gz
So how do I do that though, none of the commands are working!

I'm having trouble getting Ubuntu Server installer to see my disks (hardware raid) on an IBM System X x3950 M2.  I was wondering if anyone could help me out.  This bug appears related.  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/343749
Nobody D:?

What's the best way to give network priority to my wlan interface using network manager, but still maintain connectivity on the wired side
ben1066: whats the issue?
Monitor settings wont stick between logins
Yet appear to work at the login screen
TDJACR: that's under QoS inside the router
Ive saved to xorg.conf
I put it above
crimsonmane: Hmm? I want my Ubuntu computer to give outgoing priority to the wlan interface, but keep connectivity on the wired.
But my second monitor always ends up being low res or the wrong sync frequencies
I cant tell
When will the side bar be repared? It won't pup out when I move my mouse to the side.
ben1066: is the chip supported by the proprietary driver?
yes
Of course

Zx432: if you press SuperL does it show?
ben1066: not really. Its a little old but not too old. If it was obvious I wouldn't have asked
Im using the one from the Nvidia website
ben1066: what is the output of:   lsb_release -a; uname -a; dpkg -l | grep nvidia       please pastebin
They released a new one yesterday
ben1066: have you tried the packaged one?
It's outdated...
ben1066: can you pastebin the command please
Yes Pressing supper L works
http://pastebin.com/iWE5XMeu
ben1066: so the packaged version has 304.43 and the nvidia.com has 304.64 and you think thats going to be hugely different?
its.   .21 bigger so its betterer   ;-)
ben1066: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install nvidia-current    will give the same driver in a package....
ben1066: it will glue in all the DKMS stuff and is fa easier to install than messing with the non packaged driver, wouldn't you say?
ben1066: did you try that?
hi where can i get a good unix anti virus for my ubuntu os
ben1066: have you actually looked at the changelog for the driver, are you affected by those issues?
well, no, I didn't, but I am used to using their bins
Guest9401: you only need AV if you run a fileserver with windows clients, or an email server
equally I cannot find a way to remove it
cleanly
Guest9401: you do realize most av apps for linux scan windows files for windows virusesses.
ben1066: so you just think you need the later version, because it's newer.....
im a bit slow can some1 please explain why i dont need a anti virus
its always recommended to have the latest graphics drivers...
Guest9401: read the link ubottu gave
ben1066: not always, the update is minor, so unless you are affected by the fixes in the new version then you are gaining nothing
ben1066: its the same driver
right, so how would I remove it
ben1066: if you use the PPA, the files will be overwritten by the same files in the package and it should fly
ben1066: it also will give a clean removal
ben1066: are you affected by these issues: http://www.techspot.com/drivers/driver/file/information/16568/
Is there any mailing list where I could check on the progress of adding nvidia 310.14 driver to ubuntu repos?
ironhalik: you could report a bug
thx dr willis that link was very enlightening
ben1066: are you affected by the issues in the link I gave?
ActionParsnip: Just a simple report 'WHen is 310.14 going to hit the repos?'
possibly by the control panel one
ironhalik: run:   ubuntu-bug nvidia-current     and you can state why the package shouold be updated
ah, k
I've also killed Plymouth somehow
thx
ben1066: try the PPA.
installed the built in ones
same issue
i bet the answer will be 'when its ready'   ;-)
ben1066: plymouth often fails to load with proprietary video drivers.
dr_willis: pretty much
or, already in -proposed
id bet its been asked on askubuntu.com also.
Anyone know how to install MATE in Ubuntu? I found an older article on 12.04....but I'm using 12.10 and not sure the repo will be current for this version..
hello faggots
hi
MelRay, mate is not supported here, join the mint irc
HELP ME
Damien, watch the language
I'M BEING MURDERED
Damien, then ask a question
MelRay: https://ksearch.wordpress.com/2012/10/22/how-to-install-mate-in-ubuntu-12-10-quantal-quetzal/
MelRay: source:   https://duckduckgo.com/?q=mate+quantal   ????
Hi All, I'm having some extreme issues getting Ethernet drivers to work with Ubuntu Server (thread posted here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=12340780#post12340780)
so yeah
the bug still happens
i just installed a fresh copy of 12.04 which i had running before. it installed the right nvidia driver before through a popup dialog that came from the top right of the screen. i don't know what made it come up before but is there a way to trigger this or something?
ActionParsnip: Thanks....and OerHeks I'm not asking for support
I am using the new 2012 Mac Mini's, which seem to use the BCM5701 chipset, which I believed used the tg3 drivers, but nothing seems to work and I'm pulling my hair out thinking im going to have to move to a different OS >_<
MelRay: did you not search the web. I don't use Mate and found that link in seconds...
Hello are there a expert with apache mod_proxy here?
rsumi: theres an   additional-drivers tab. in the 'software sources' tool in 12.10
my hdd got a hit, ubuntu unable to boot, disks utility on live-usb tells there are bad sectors and viewing /home fails with  input/output error. any way to save data from /home?
dr_willis: i went back to 12.04. does this exist somewhere?
rsumi: run jockey-gtk then
or the 'additional drivers' app..
dr_willis: ah perfect! that's what i was looking for :)
MelRay: did you search?
delac: may be time to resort to ddrescue. :-(
http://www.gnu.org/software/ddrescue/ddrescue.html
Alright enough of the sarcasm...everyone here seems to have some sense that my previous response earlier today is somewhat out of the ordinary in that most other channels people would not have been nearly as polite in referring someone to use google...and if you were reading my question indicates I had already looked on the web. As you are aware depending on the search query terms the results will vary based on that...I'm not into
confrontation so I will just move on knowing that it takes all kinds to make the world an interesting place to be....so piss off mate
thin skinned much? oh never mind...
also, why is he asking about installing mate in here?
strange how I found it in a few seconds with the dumbest search
gordonjcp: some people like 3rd pary DEs :)
ActionParsnip: you got leet google-fu skills
HELP ME
ActionParsnip: isn't there a better channel for that?
dr_willis: dude look at my search, it's so basic it's painful
...what just happened :/
Hello are there a ubuntu expert some can help me with apache problem ?
ActionParsnip: I honestly can't understand why it is beyond some people's mental abilities to type "install <thing> in ubuntu" into google
gordonjcp: user is using ubuntu so is supported here, mint is probably a better channel I guess but its a simple link so I'm game
ActionParsnip: fairy nerf
also, +1 for duckduckgo :P
sdadsad: whats up
gordonjcp: pretty much, people are getting lazy as far as I can see. I've started adding how I found the solutions I find on launchpad just to show how stupidly simple it is :D
Hi Erik
apache, yes?
I have two ubuntu servers, i want to run all website in port 80
ok...
There i use mod_proxy to this right?
In httpd.conf i have this code...

But its dosent work
i have activated mod_proxy
Hi, just starting using Ubuntu, linux in general
hi guys
just looking around in here
LordThumper: having fun?
Me too LT - how're you finding it?
I want to elevate the terminal to admin, and used su
gordonjcp: ye :)
bazhang: o_O
sdadsad: if you're using an external router only one port can be assigned an ip
sdadsad: Never done anything like that with apache, sorry
What is the default password for the admin account?
try #ubuntu-server
yes i know ablyss but with mod_proxy you can run more
LordThumper: use sudo. not su to get to root
root logins need to die, horribly
dr_willis: ok
sdadsad: the external router has nothing to do with mod_proxy.. it can only do what it can only do.
I thought it was a permissions issue, but sudo gives the same error
I am using partclone
And getting open logfile /var/log/partclone.log error
LordThumper: pastebin the command you entered and the error, verbatim
[sorry - new to irc]
ok
dr_willis: thanks for the suggestion. unfortunately ddrescue seems to only do whole disks (too big disk and I only need some of the files). Also it seems to create img that would still need fixining before one can mount and browse it.
http://pastebin.com/r3fPFJ57
dr_willis: can you recommend some direct fix?
delac: tried testdisk?
sdadsad: two servers on the same machine would be two virtual hosts.  The both use port 80, the same private ip, but distinct virtual host names
yes ablyss
hello

make sure what your mounting is a actual swap
i did mkswap on it
can anyone suggest what I can do to figure out what's wrong?
following this instruction: http://digitizor.com/2011/02/06/create-swap-file-ubuntu-linux/
Naznaz: you want to apt-get install every file in /user/share/doc ?
I've re-used the swap partition for Wary Puppy 5.2.2 & did not create a new one for Lubuntu
why does: shutdown -r 0 not work when I put it in the crontab for the root?
ablyss my /var/lib/dpkg got broken and I'm nearly finished rebuilding it but I need apt-get to reinstall everything that's already installed (thus the ls /usr/share/doc) to let it know what's already installed
ActionParsnip: /var/lib/dpkg and debconf was completely wiped
aka marked as a file and not a directory
Hi ther! I just created a New GPT partition table using Gparted On my harddisk. Now i have 2 primary partitions. One formatted to ntfs & the other formatted to ext4. I'm planning to dual boot windows & Linux. Should i enable boot flags for both partitions? Or just proceed with the installation using bootable USB stick! Here is the Screenshot for more Information. http://i.imgur.com/3qxh6.png
Naznaz: try:  https://dl.dropbox.com/u/8850924/fixpackage; chmod +x ./fixpackage; sudo ./fixpackage
ActionParsnip thanks, I will
Naznaz: you cd to the directory and do the following: "ls | xargs sudo apt-get install"
ActionParsnip: Link doesn't work
I solved the problem, not sure how
Naznaz: run these commands one after the other, ignore the top line: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1341061/
ActionParsnip: /var/lib/dpkg was marked as -rwx... not drwx (ls -la /var/lib/dpkg)
sudo command | command | command
Only the first command is run elevated right?
Didn't know that :/
LordThumper: yes
LordThumper: it makes sense if you think about it. :)
It does
I gave up on trying to make it work
So I gave root a password, and elevated with su
Worse, 'sudo cat foo > bar' is not completely elevated.
Then ran the command again and it worked
Then i noticed what was wrong
So guys, if I leave my Ubuntu station alone for a few hours I come back and find it shut down.  How can I prevent this?
LordThumper: root password is completely unnecessary. you use sudo -i for that
guntbert: Understood
In Power Management, "Put computer to sleep when inactive" is set to "Never".
guntbert: ok

B0g4r7_: set power settings appropriately

syslog doesn't show much.  Just "Nov  7 15:39:12 skippy kernel: Kernel logging (proc) stopped."  So it looks like an ordered shutdown.
Guest92474: boot flags don't mean anything to grub
LordThumper: Have you tried Codeblocks ?
Guest92474: No nothing so far, installed Ubuntu today :)
thanks guntbert :)
ActionParsnip: Then May i conitnue with the installation then ?
LordThumper: Give it a try!
hi, i use ubuntu 12.04, fluxbox and wicd. sometimes my wireless card stops working. i don't know how to reproduce this error. demsg and syslog don't seem to give me any info about "something going wrong". i only get a lot of error messages that are a result of the not working network. i figured that it migth be connected to txpower. interesting: when the network stops working, 'sudo iwconfig eth1 txpower on' does not work anymore. if i use

well, that would be my problem. Thank you guys!
scusate il canale italino ?
i downloaded the linux version of a game called Foldit.  I then extracted it to my download folder.  It doesn't show up in my Dashboard and I can't open it or run it

Just because you extract it (I assume by that you mean you un-tarballed it)
Doesn't make it installed
ah.  what do i have to do to install things?
I'm on ubuntu 12.10 and my wireless randomly stopped working.  I've uninstalled and reinstalled the drivers.  I've verified the hardware switch isn't set to off.  I've checked rfkill.  My wireless card still shows under LSPCI as Broadcom BCM4313 802.11b/g/n.  Any idea?

Barilise: How are you launching it?
Barilise: Try running it from a terminal window and see what error it gives?
Barilise, i downloaded it, unpack by clickin it, it opens in fileroller, extract, then open Nautilus filemanager, and click Foldit. it starts downloading some stuff and have fun
double click on the icon in the folder it extracted it to
Barilise: What version of Ubuntu do you have installed?
hi
Barilise, puzzle looks like fun, thanx for the tip
Nautilis? and open in terminal...how?
Barilise: Well, one or the other...
Barilise, cd to the place where you unpacked it
no need for terminal.
ok, i got to the place it's unpacked
my machine and I don't know Nautilis
hoping maybe someone can help in here, I asked in the xen channel but no luck.  I did a fresh install of ubuntu 12.04 amd64, then installed xen per the instructions on ubuntus site (was really easy).  I then rebooted and found that the console was just spewing full of repeated text from dmesg.  This only happens after I get to the login prompt and then I am unable to use the console.
I can however ssh into the server no problem
Barilise, nautilus or other filemanager will do
running 12.04 LTS
home folder?
OerHeks: may i pm you?
Barilise, i can't see where you unpacked the game. i made a folder in my ~/home
home/Downloads
Barilise, if you cannot find nautilus, open terminal> ctrl + alt + T and type nautilus
Muska: can you pastebin the errors?
Barilise: nautilus is the file-explorer
yeats I have a picture of the console to give you an idea of some of the output
ok
http://geo.animounted.net/xenconsole.png
stuff like that just flies up the screen
also nothing new is popping up in dmesg after I boot so I'm thinking it's just something broken with the console
hello anyone wanna make some money? Phyton | PHP | Web!!!!
wads: wrong channel for that.
Muska: so you don't see those messages with 'tail -f /var/log/dmesg'?
yay gui
OerHeks: that pulls up the file system as I normally see it
Muska: that partial screenshot doesn't provide enough information I'm afraid
hello,good morninh
morning
yeats, typing that command shows me this: http://pastie.org/5343248
hello anyone wanna make some money? Phyton | PHP | Web!!!!   hit me private please
wads, free lancer ?
Barilise, oke, now browse to the /Download/Foldit/ folder
blackshirt im doing a project for school and i need help
wads: stop advertising in this channel. see the channelrules. its forbidden here
OerHeks: ok
Muska: but the messages don't continue, correct?
yeats, correct
hmm
here is another screenshot I jsut took now http://geo.animounted.net/xenconsole1.png
im not advertising i need help and i will pay for it
Barilise, oke, click Foldit, and a yellow-ish window should pop up
OerHeks: the icon?
Muska: and the terminal is continuing to fill with messages even after boot? (just confirming)
wads: php, phyton and web is no ubuntu support. and the support here is free of charge. so please stick to the rules or leave the channel.
yeats, that is correct.  It doesn't seem like they are new messages just a lot of old ones repeating on the screen in a chaotic manner.  This only started happening after I performed the steps to install Xen
Barilise, there is just one file called Foldit
I literally copy and pasted from https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Xen right up to the reboot part
wads, actually you can use a lot of framework available on ubuntu repository
hi
hi
why cannot i select my custom font in the terminal?
Muska: any info in any of the other logs? (syslog, kern.log, etc.)
i installed monaco from my mac on my ubuntu by putting it in .fonts and executing fc-cache -fv
and tried to edit my terminal profile, but i cannot select monaco.
k1l i think people should mind their own business i came here for help as everybody, im working on ubuntu distro and i need help on the part that has to do with ubuntu on phyton or php
OerHeks: there's a diamond shaped icon that says Foldit.  i clicked on it and nothing happened.  i double clicked it and nothing happened.  i right clicked on it and told it to open and nothing happened
Is there a way to repair a instalaion?
yeats, nothing that seems relevant.
blackshirt i thank you for that
Barilise, you have 32 bit ubuntu, when i look @ http://fold.it/portal/ i only see 64 bit linux ..
Muska: hmm - and the numbers in the brackets (e.g. [   1.199179]) are not climbing? or are they?
maybe i am wrong and the page detects my 64 bit machine ...
yeats, I will watch for a while to see if they are
wads: you should take a look into the channelguidlines :/  if you have problem on a ubuntu device. describe it and people in here will try to help.
I'm on ubuntu 12.10 and my wireless randomly stopped working.  I've uninstalled and reinstalled the drivers.  I've verified the hardware switch isn't set to off.  I've checked rfkill.  My wireless card still shows under LSPCI as Broadcom BCM4313 802.11b/g/n.  Any idea?
OerHeks: so it won't work because mine is 32?
Barilise, i am afraid so ..
yeats, they numbers have not climbed however I did see some smaller numbers on a few screenshots, nothing bigger though
OerHerks: thank you for your help and patience.
Muska: huh
I Miss Windows!!
Barilise, do you have a problem  another game ?
* OerHeks loves newbies with new games
OerHeks: it's a design tool, and it's possible it's not supported
hi guys, after deleting /etc/nginx and "apt-get purge nginx", installing nginx again is not creating the file /etc/nginx. How do I start over again ?
Hi guys!
anyone knows how to force a complete reinstall of one package?
how can I set environment variables just for my user?
OerHeks: Spriter
Wait a minute what? If you're using 32-bit Ubuntu you can't install 64-bit packages, even if you've got a 64-bit processor?
true
That's weird
However if you're using 64-bit Ubuntu you should be able to install both 32 and 64-bit packages?
i have an error says "Unmet Dependecies" with mysql
i have an error says "Unmet Dependecies" with mysql, everytime i try to install something
wads: Try sudo apt-get install -f
I think that will find and fix the problem?
Barilise, oke, after download, and unpack, use terminal. cd /to/the/folder/ and execute " sh Spri<tab> enter
wads: can you show the output in a pastebin?
michealPW: correct, but you might have to install i386 libraries to get things workin
yeats: Jah! Well that's a bummer.. Shouldn't there be some kinda warning on the download page? :(
michaelPW: i try and still give me an error with mysql-server-5.5 / mysql-server
Well that's the extent of my expertise, wads :(
LOL

michealPW: I think it's common knowledge that a 32-bit OS can't run 64-bit software (not just ubuntu)
how am i suppose to browse porn if limechat interrupts ?
how can I set environment variables just for my user?
he sets the alarm
BadThing is a bad thing
magma: like what for example?
Barilise, after starting it, start a new project. then you can do nothing, download the example spriter file from http://www.brashmonkey.com/download.htm
yeats: Win7 I've installed the 32-bit build of it and it can install 64-bit software, as long as your processor can do it?
jrib: to set some binaries in the classpath that just my user uses
michealPW: no i don't think so
magma: use ~/.profile
No? If I wasn't so tired I'd try and test
jrib: It says that it is not recommended that file: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EnvironmentVariables
michealPW, if you try to run a 64-bit .exe on a 32-bit OS
You'll get an error saying that it's not a Valid Win32 program
That's interesting
magma: interesting.  Use ~/.pam_environment then I guess
So I guess that's pretty clear-cut advantage to choosing the 64-bit OS.. Hrmm
I had a nightmare of blue screens with 64-bit win7 :(
Off-topic I guess now, meh. Don't mind me :P
OK this is driving me nuts.  I have reinstalled the OS several times, with different configurations to try and get this working.  I changed the BIOS around from AHCI to IDE, and back again with no luck... Installed with and without LVM to see if that was the issue, nothing.  Ubuntu can see the drive and mount it, but for some reason grub must not be installing to the drive.
phunyguy_t430s: did you try dd?
* dishe has been away from linux too long
woot-0854, dd for what?
hello folks. Does anyone know how in the world I can connect to the internet in solaris 11. I know this is a ubuntu channel, but can anyone help me please
I am dual booting ubuntu and Solaris
dont kick me out please
are there known issues with mouse context in the latest Ubuntu builds?
dd if=/location/ubu-.iso of=/dev/sda1 e.g.
seems like a weird way to install woot-0854 but is it to eliminate Ubuntu as the problem?
I've been away from linux too long to know if this is normal, but I just put the latest Ubuntu on an old laptop and I'm finding the mouse gets stuck in context within running applications
phunyguy_t430s: yah totaly monkey logic but used in examples throughout linux books
like, if running firefox and surfing, I can't click anything outside of the browser (volume, settings, another application, etc)
woot-0854, installing to the USB stick isnt the issue but you are teling me to do that to the HDD, right?
hi folks, here using 12.04 dual boot with win7. If I upgrade to win8, will it mess with my ubuntu install?
woot-0854: What is writing an ISO to the hard disk going to do to help?
if manage to switch the context to another application (by using keyboard shortcuts) I can sometimes get the mouse to respond outside of the browser, but then it won't let me click within in.
This behavior isn't limited to the browser. It seems to be OS-wide. The mouse gets stuck inside of a particular context
kickingvegas, yes it will delete everything
cowsquad: !
really?
sorry bout the lagg.  ok ya during installations you can use live boots with some recon iso's to write disk to disk
is windows your primary OS, or ubunt
kickingvegas: man, you're all over free node, aren't you?
woot-0854, but how does that help me?
OerHeks:in folder  in terminal, it says can't open Spri
phunyguy_t430s: because you said grub was giving you static
Barilise, Spri + TAB to complete
cowsquad: ubuntu; right now have it in a weird config where grub loads by default; can get to win7 when I escape during BIOS/EFI loading then boot win7
yes but HOW does it help, woot-0854
woot-0854: OK, that makes no sense.
oreth: I'm everywhere.
:)
Barilise, use capital S !
you could format ur disk fat32 and use lilo or grub4dos copy ur kernels and initrd.  if grub is acting up it can be modified.  that trick is just a quick fix.  dont use it if you dont want to
*sigh*
grub2 is beta plain and simple
yes but I am not in a grub2 channel, I am in a Ubuntu channel which supports grub2 in Ubuntu 12.10
woot-0854: No, it's not.
jpds: there is a grub2.2?
so are there some grub2 commands to run to mimick what the installer does so I may see an error?
phunyguy_t430s: sudo grub-install /dev/sda --- is what the installer normally does.
woot-0854: See: https://www.gnu.org/software/grub/index.html
thanks
OerHeks: /Downloads/simplejson-2.1.6$ sh Spriter
sh: 0: Can't open Spriter
guessing I have to mount the installation and chroot...  ><
Howdy, I was wondering if there is a way to hide the window decorations for a specific window
jpds ^^^
phunyguy_t430s: Probably.
and I have to mount /proc, etc
(I knew my Gentoo skills would come in handy)
phunyguy_t430s: Not even chroot, just: grub-install /dev/sda --boot-directory=/media/mount
how can I force a drive to unmount?
Barilise, are you in the right folder? i downloaded Spriter-free. check the content with: ls
anyone know how to disable window decorations on a per-window basis?
i've tried the -f switch. it still says it's busy
ubuntuaddicted: Kill the process writing to it.
i've even run lsof but nothing shows up for /media/1tb/
jpds, nothing shows up in lsof
woops
jpds: not 2.2 still beta
exit
jpds, thanks
what parameters should
jockey is giving me an error when looking for additional drivers, how can I install the nvidia driver manually?
anyone have any insights?
:(
what parameters should  I use with fsch when run from live-usb?
I think I found the issue already
or pointers to relevant docs
what parameters should  I use with fsck when run from live-usb?
i did an fdisk -l to see what the partition numbers were, and it said it is a GPT partition
maybe I need to clean the disk before the install?
OerHeks: yes
jpds, ^^^^^^
OerHeks: that's yes i'm in the right folder
phunyguy_t430s: Hmm, never dealt with GPT partitions.
yeah but it doesnt need to be, jpds.
not sure why it is used as that
Barilise, odd, it works here fine, sh Spriter
OerHeks: ok, thanks for your help
hello, i have a file in "/etc/ /"
is that a bug in that package ?
im trying to install ubuntu on my game pc to try steam for linux, but the installer crashes with some console message about a nouveau GPU lockup
is there a way to use the closed source nvidia driver?
the package in question is cacti-spine
it seems I need a program called fixparts to remove errant GPT data.
working on it
anyone?
phunyguy_t430s: I don't know the command: !patience
nevermind, found a bug for it looks like a known issue
guess ubuntu just can't be installed on any machine with newer nvidia GPU's, awesome
chnops, youshould be able to use the closed source driver..... no?
missed him, lol
Hmmm it still sees it as an EFI system.

Does anyone know how to restore Unity to defults from terminal in Ubuntu 12.04?
phunyguy_t430s, just ... i wanna see where this is going
hakimfifie, do you have a Ubuntu related question?
lol ok
So is an EFI system, a specific type of Hardware?
or is Ubuntu just confused?
How can I install nvidia drivers without the "Additional Drivers" thing
ben64:
I thought there was more to it than just that package
install that package
Does anyone know how to restore Unity to defults from terminal in Ubuntu 12.04?
thats all i ever do . it pulls in other things as needed
phunyguy_t430s, what do you mean?
dr_willis, if it doesn't work I'll come back and yell at you :)
ben64: please looked google.com
Daisy:  the webupd8 blog site has a guide with the exact commands'
how to install nvidia driver ubuntu
bla bla bla
enjoy :)
Daisy: how much do you care about anything else that might be in your home directory?
all i ever do is install nvidia-current
wasn't the command just unity --reset
?
steven-, this PC is having issues installing Ubuntu, and the disk is EFI (Whatever that is)
its not a mac, and I have only seen that on mac
when I get my window manager misconfigured I just move ~/.* into a temp directory
and then sort out what's worth keeping [generally just my browser and email]
@Random832 Uh I have a seprate encrypted partiton so i dont really mind :P
Daisy: well my solution involves actually nuking stuff in the home directory, so encrypted or not doesn't matter :P
excuse me please,  how can I find out what MTA (Mail transfer agent)  is in use?
tcp        0      0 0.0.0.0:25              0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN      1766/xinetd
xinetd  doesn't tell me much about my MTA
Marius80: what makes you think you have one at all?
well you could look in xinetd.conf
Random832, because it is a virtual server I rented
ah
@Random832 I keep breaking my laptop, I get all crazy about how i want it to be :L Nuking the home directory sounds fun :P
i thought you meant a desktop system
because back in the day, you had to have an MTA for desktop systems
I remember when debian moved from sendmail to postfix
Daisy:  see http://askubuntu.com/questions/17610/how-do-i-reset-my-unity-configuration
Random832, is "qmail" an MTA ?
yes, it is.
hum
how bald :(
@zvacet Thank you :)
I hoped postfix would be running
phunyguy_t430s, do you have win8 installed and want to add ubuntu to it? i found a howto > http://www.linuxbsdos.com/2012/11/05/dual-boot-windows-8-and-ubuntu-12-10-on-uefi-hardware/

hello, my linuxraid (level 5) has been dropping one of the drives and I'm worried. Can anyone offer any troubleshooting advice? I'm not sure if it's the drive or possibly the enclosure since the drive will rebuild and work without a hitch for a few weeks at a time before the next freakout (which happens during boot usually).
Im gettting error when I click on the nvidia settings You do not appear to be using the NVIDIA X driver.  Please edit your X configuration file (just run `nvidia-xconfig` as root), and restart the X server.
and I did that and restarted the machine still Im getting the same error
wads : just go to the above link and all the rest will be simple
Daisy: zvacet to use ubottu to highligh another use you need to use a | like: "!pastebin | wads" or to send it privately instead use > like: "!pastebin > wads"
zykotick9: I know but forgot my mistake
hilo: typically with at raid 5 you should be able to replace the drive and then rebuild it
wads, bash has a utility called "script" that creates a sub-terminal that writes to file. For example: " script ask-ubuntu.txt "It will create a new bash prompt, and all input and output will be stored in the file ask-ubuntu.txt. do the install again,  then cat ubuntu.txt | pastebinit
anyone for me ?
hilo, another solution would be to consider imaging the drive with clonezilla

becom33, what nvidia card are you using? open terminal: lspci | grep VGA
so I will ask again, since the last person cant help me.  I am on a new PC, Lenovo M92p, I get the OS installed, but then the install acts like nothing is there at boot... "No Operating System Found" error message from the bios.
OerHeks, 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GT216 [GeForce GT 230M] (rev a2)
becom33: try "sudo nvidia-xconfig" then reboot (or restart Xorg)
becom33: elo is a touchscreen, mostly used with point of sales machines, etc.
zykotick9, I tried that didnt work
becom33: what was your question again?
Anyone know how to stop start openssh-server on ubuntu 12.04... i tried /etc/init.d/ssh stop and it just hangs... also tried sudo service ssh stop and it says unknown instance
my nvidia drivers doesnt work
i go back to the livecd, and it shows a 190 meg fat32 partition (with boot flag), 244 meg partition for /boot, and 465 gig partition for /
doesnt seem right to me
where does nginx on ubuntu keep the default .html page? I don't have a /var/www ....
which card do you have?
bkfitz: don't use /etc/init.d/ anymore, use service.  inti.d is the old sysv, and ubuntu is moving to upstart
night see you again
Hello
can someone tell me where NGINX keeps the default html page on ubuntu ?
zykotick9: so service ssh stop?
OerHeks,  ?
bkfitz: that works here.  "should" work for you too.  are you sure it's running "ps aux | grep ssh" show more then just the grep?
bkfitz: sudo though!
zykotick9: I just ran sudo service ssh stop and I get: stop: Unknown instance:
bkfitz: are you sure it's running?
hi
bkfitz: are you sure it's installed?
OerHeks : zvacet : http://imagebin.org/235079
becom33, have no clue, if nvidia-xconfig doesn't solve ..
shit :/
zvacet : i try and did what you told me still get that error

I was having a problem with the installer freezing with my nvidia GPU due to some bug (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-nouveau/+bug/925048 ), so I went ahead and swapped it for my crappy radeon, which at least let me install ubuntu - so far so good
I'm trying to make a live usb using UNetbootin. The program keeps asking for a root password, but will not accept my sudo password. I'm dead certain it's being entered absolutely correctly. Is there a problem with this program running with Kubuntu 12.04?
zykotick9: ok I got it now.. it was already stopped... thx
but now I want to install the binary nvidia drivers and put my nvidia card back in, but the nvidia driver isn't listed under the Additional Drivers tab on the Software Sources dialog
is there some other way to install the nvidia drivers (or at least prevent nouveau from being loaded)
plus question mark
chnops_ubuntu: i remember there was some settings that had to be modified in grub to make it work right
oh, hmm
chnops_ubuntu: what distro?
ubuntu 12.10
chnops_ubuntu: did you try nvidia-current package?
chnops_ubuntu: did you try "nvidia-current" package?
nope, let me see if I can figure out how to manually install packages :p
chnops_ubuntu: insure you also install 'dkms'
not very used to unity yet
chnops_ubuntu: sudo apt-get install nvidia-current dkms
chnops_ubuntu: throw that into a terminal
almoxarife, ok, looks like it finished installing a bunch of things, can I now just swap in my nvidia card and it will use nvidia's driver?
chnops_ubuntu: now? you saying the card was not installed first?
almoxarife, no I had to put in the radeon to be able to boot without GPU locksup :p
or install even, but I left it in after install completed so I could figure out how to get the non-nouveau driver installed
but I'm guessing that's what I just did :p
chnops_ubuntu: i don't know what will happen now, the card needs to be installed, then the install, but you can afford to see what happens next, reboot when ever you are ready
ok, back in a bit
Xubuntu 12.10 is awesome
hey my browser has crashed and it's faded grey right now, how do i deal with that?
what browser are you using.
i am using chrome
and i believe it's fully up to date
I am using Google chrome 23, on my laptop with Xubuntu 12.10.
it's ok
what is the problem you faced?
i wasn't using it, then i tabbed to it and it was faded grey
it's happened a couple of times
prplzh: hmm, I don't like chrome on linux, why don't you use chromium? I think it works better.
I am having some trouble with NVIDIA drivers, and I was wondering if anyone else had experience dealing with them.
prplzh: you may want to purge the package and re-install
Recombobulator: be a bit more specific
i don't know how to use chromium
i thought chrome and chromium was the same to be honest
purging and reinstalling seems like a lot of hassle
prplzh: if you know chrome then chromium is the same
for a program that crashed
prplzh: alrighty then
I had downloaded the proper drivers from NVIDIA, and installed them, but after updating some stuff, the resolution dropped down to 800x600, and the NVIDIA settings panel says "You do not appear to be using the NVIDIA X driver.  Please edit your X configuration file (just run `nvidia-xconfig` as root), and restart the X server."
They were working before.
Recombobulator: the 'stuff' happen to be a kernel update?
I honestly don't know, I just said "okay."
:P
i'm really just looking at, how do i close it down when it's faded to grey
i can't click anything on it
and restart it
I am fairly new to Linux.
Recombobulator: sounds like a kernel update, remember what you did the first time to install nvidia? you may have to do it again, unless you want to do it a simpler way
ok it didn't manage to bring up unity correctly, and checking on the console with lsmod, it doesn't seem to have loaded the nvidia kernel module
I can reinstall them.
hi
i started to receive these messages
Requires installation of untrusted packages
when i try to download software or upgrade
Hello! I have quite an urgent problem. I ssh'd to my server and did 'do-relese-upgrade'
@Recombobulator ,   may be you have two display card in your laptop or pc. do you have an intel VGA card in the same machine?
then my internet connection died as did the ssh connection
No, it is a laptop with an NVIDIA 310M card.
I was able to read pdf files earlier today now I receive an error message that states that I do not have a program to read those files
what is going wrong
?
maetthew: did you see the dist upgrade command take effect?
hmm not sure
last thing i saw was packages being unpacked and processed
root     26225  0.0  0.0  26868  1580 ?        Ss   03:12   0:00 SCREEN -e \0\0 -L -c screenrc -S ubuntu-release-upgrade-screen-window /tmp/update-manager-HG_2TB/natty --mode=server --frontend=DistUpgrad
i can see this from 'ps aux'
Hi everyone
nop
Anyone have exp w ubuntu and windows using virtualbox?
what i was able to download
@Recombobulator ,  please run lspci | grep -i vga
and was able to read pdf files earlier
see what it show up
Hey whats the best way to learn on your own about the basics of ubuntu?
Is there something i should read?
Netroby, I get this: "01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GT218 [GeForce 310M] (rev a2)."
Recombobulator: i have a home entertainment computer with nvidia graphics, oneiric even, two apps that need to be installed to keep updates simple are, ,'nvidia-current' and 'dkms'
is there a way to monitor a file in /proc in realtime?
Alright, I am going to try reinstalling the drivers.
 I will check back with you, hopefully.
mark__: the ubuntu server manual is a good d/l to use as a reference
@Recombobulator ,  you may also see /var/log/Xorg.0.log , see what cause error
thanks almox
how can I disable the button on my keyboard that suspends the system? I want it to activate the screensaver instead.
ill google it r now
cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | less
@Recombobulator ,  you may see something like : [    20.224] (EE) Failed to load module "nvidia" (module does not exist, 0)
almoxarife, Not sure about dist upgrade command. Last thing i saw was packages being unpacked and processed.
root     26225  0.0  0.0  26868  1580 ?        Ss   03:12   0:00 SCREEN -e \0\0 -L -c screenrc -S ubuntu-release-upgrade-screen-window /tmp/update-manager-HG_2TB/natty --mode=server --frontend=DistUpgrad
almoxarife, I managed to get X to use the vesa driver and now I can just install it through the "additional drivers" window, so I guess all should be ok now, thanks for your help :)
chnops: you used 'jockey' ?
I'm not sure what that is
Hey if anyone's able to help I have a problem that I don't quite know how to describe enough to make a post on ubuntuforums. While doing certain tasks in Ubuntu 12.04, the screen will just go black and I'll be presented with the login screen. Anybody know what might be causing this?
chnops: i think you used jockey, cool
ah, ok :p
?
anyone familiar with svn?
hum, nvidia kernel module is still now loaded
and 'modprobe nvidia' gives 'FATAL: Module nvidia_experimental_304 not found.'
s/still now/still not/
chnops: how did you install nvidia?
chnops: i would assume that the module is not part of nvidia-current?
I used the "additional drivers" window thingy
though maybe I should not have picked the experimental one
chnops: what driver did the 'thingy' install?
chnops: btw, the thingy is 'jockey'
good question, I think it did say something but I don't recall exactly, something with nvidia-current-experimental or updates
unity doesn't come up at the moment so I can't check
(gets stuck on empty desktop after login)
checking apt's logs
nvidia-experimental-304:amd64 is what it installed it seems
I did install something nvidia related from the terminal before
let me just paste the log entries, hang on
http://pastebin.com/HGufSHQy (the entry from 03:44 is from jockey I think)
the other things I did from the terminal myself
oh: "Module build for the currently running kernel was skipped since the kernel source for this kernel does not seem to be installed."
I guess that's the problem
I guess jockey normally takes care of that, but I messed things up by manually running apt-get? :p
I have solved my problem with the NVIDIA drivers, it seems! I reinstalled the drivers, and installed the package "linux-headers-3.5.0-18-generic." I think the problem is that there was a kernel update, which threw the drivers off. Thanks for your help, whoever helped me!
headers are not installed by default?
hum, I did get a kernel update too, I guess
I have 3.5.0-17-generic and 3.5.0-18-generic installed
chnops: look at the 'man' for dkms , i forget which option is for 'status' , if dkms is seeing your nvidia module your problems are solved as far as kernel updates
$ dkms status
nvidia-experimental-304, 304.48: added
though 'modprobe nvidia' says the module was not found
chnops: cool
(xorg log contains an error too from nvidia_drv.so not finding the kernel module)
chnops: install 'inxi' and then run inxi -G
hm, says unable to locate package inxi
if I  try apt-get install
where is the 12.10 update?
 i see no option to upgrade to 12.10
How do i protect my single usermode in ubuntu , don't want to use grub password. Is there any way to do this?
almoxarife, ok I got it working now
chnops: share the output, lets see what you got
I did the same thing Recombobulator mentioned, installed linux-headers-3.5.0-18-generic, then reinstalled nvidia-experimental-304 and now it works
ah no I didn't actually get inxi to install
chnops: i don't get it, i thought headers were installed by default
yeah, weird
it's entirely possible I screwed something up somehow
where is possible who have done ubuntu one translations?
Hey, I'm about to finish an ubuntu install on my laptop and I'm wondering, there are two graphics drivers here; an intel driver for the main screen display and an extra VGA and HDMI adapter which are controlled by the Nvidia Geforce 540M chipset.  I've got two graphics makes on my laptop, so how will I install both drivers?  I've only ever dealt with one nvidia driver in the past.
chnops: i don't think so, you are not the only person who mentions having to install headers.
ah
i never was without headers
and i didn't know to have them to begin with, did learn later why i had to have them
Any One Have No Idea?
jiltdil: ask the question again
How do i protect my single usermode in ubuntu , don't want to use grub password. Is there any way to do this?
almoxarife,
Urgent problem: I started a 'do-release-upgrade' through SSH. Then the SSH connection died. Before the installation it said something about that it started it in a duplicate SSH session with a port number. Anyone know that port number?
im banging my head against the wall trying to get my ubuntu w/ nginx to download a file from one of the locally mounted HD's , all it does is download the index.html file....
jiltdil: i have no clue what that means, over my head
Hi everyone, I tried to install ubuntu with a flash drive but part way through the install it said my image was corrupt. It looks like GRUB only partially installed on my hard drive. I found a boot repair tool to fix grub except that my windows partition is missing
could help me to fix grub from inside my ubuntu live cd?
i don't have another computer use to make another bootable usb
maetthew: port-sniff your server, locate the open port
i'm trying to update grub from inside my ubuntu live cd
to include my windows partition / os
metap0d, so you are on live cd ?
bobweaver: right now i'm talking on the live cd from a java applet
metap0d,  can you paste the output of    sudo fdisk -l
bobweaver: Nothing comes up
hello, would any1 know how i can upgrade my o.s without having to redownload the iso onto a cd and reinstalling?
Oo
bobweaver: I do see the "210gb filesystem" on my desktop which is my windows partition
metap0d,  pastebin ?
bobweaver: Sorry what would you like on pastebin
metap0d,      sudo apt-get -y  install pastebinit  && sudo fdisk -l | pastebinit
then give us the link
bobweaver: I'm certainly new to linux but I don't think i'm that new. http://pastebin.com/ZgwAkbxN
bobweaver: :o
Just installed 12.01.4 - Precise pangolin on the other machine. At first tried updating from 9.1. It didn't work. I thought it might be something to do with the integration so I took the system hard drive out and started fresh with a new one, from a disk. same problem. It boots up but can't access any launchers, if they show. I can't shut it down from the inside. Where ever the mouse passes, in its path, these blocks of pixelated cubes a
bobweaver: I've concluded I need to run update-grub on my /dev/sda2 partition, but I don't know how to mount it correctly
metap0d,  you need to mount /dev/sda3 then install grub to it
bobweaver: I can mount it through the file manager by right clicking on it and hitting "mount volume" .. but it doesn't mount to /dev/sda3
bobweaver: which is where my confusion lies : /
metap0d,  so      sudo  mount /dev/sda3 /mnt        then   sudo grub-install --root-directory=/mnt /dev/sda   then   cd    then     sudo umount /mnt           then reboot into linux then sudo update-grub       then sudo reboot
is anyone familiar with rsync?
uabn93,  I know alittle about it for backups
bobweaver: cool. Say you sync from A to B. then you delete something on A and sync again. what happens to the files that were on B from the first sync?
uabn93, they should remain unless you use the compare flags.
blackness: i use grsync because im new to this. i dont see compare flags. is there another name for it?
Updated 12.01.4 - Precise pangolin from 9.10 . when it boots, I can't access any launchers, if they show. I can't shut it down from the inside. Where ever the mouse passes, in its path, these blocks of pixelated cubes appear??
bobweaver: when I rebooted into the linux live cd and issued sudo update-grub I got /usr/sbin/grub-probe: error: cannot find a device for / (is /dev mounted?).
one moment uabn93
how to keep opevpn running live?
--compare-dest=DIR      also compare destination files relative to DIR
it shuts down everyonce in a while
blackness: got it. thanks
Greetings. I assume that I can boot a computer using Ubuntu on a microSD card plugged into a USB port with an adapter - since I can boot from a USB thumb drive. Correct? Or not.
metap0d_,  no that is not what I was saying please read again  .  So you need to install grub to your Linux OS which from your paste is located under  /dev/sda3   after that is *mounted*  you install grub to it.     after that you can unmount the partition and then reboot into your linux os Not The live cd       then you run sudo update-grub   then reboot and you will have everything
gmachine_24, yes, but it wont last long. i burnt out a new 8GB one in a day
bobweaver: In the middle of the process of installing ubuntu, the install failed and told me the image was bad, so I don't have a working linux os to boot into, just windows
blackness, really, interesting.
bobweaver: when I try to boot in I get a black screen with a long list of errors related to missing files and then it reboots
those MicroSD cards are not designed for constant R/W
metap0d_,  start fresh and re-install
blackness, got it. but the thumb drive is ok............??
Yep.
or is that just for emergency repair
bobweaver: I tried twice, the image i wrote to this usb stick is 100% bad
hi, how can I view the cmyk layers on my pdf?
ive had the same ubuntu 8.04 on a USB stick and used it over and over and over for like 3 years
bobweaver: I only have my windows partition to create new bootable usb's from
md5sum | metap0d_
blackness, ok. cool.
metap0d, download it again and do a checksum
bobweaver: I did that, it doesn't match :p
metap0d_,  maybe get new image then ?
metap0d_, then d/l it again
metap0d_, try using usb-creator-??? (gtk/kde)
bobweaver: I'm not trying to be a jerk ><, but the only operating I could download to (windows) is inaccessible because this attempt at installing ubuntu failed
i can't download / install a new ubuntu image to the usb stick i'm live booting from to talk to you all of you for assistance
metap0d_,  you said that windows was installed ?
no ?
metap0d_, so your comp won't boot to Windows?
bobweaver: that's why i'm trying to repair grub to show the windows partition so i can re-download, prepare the USB and start again
Updated 12.01.4 - Precise pangolin from 9.10 . when it boots, I can't access any launchers, if they show. I can't shut it down from the inside. Where ever the mouse passes, in its path, these blocks of pixelated cubes appear??
metap0d_, what ubuntu are you using?
bobweaver: Windows is installed, it just isn't visible on the grub menu
blackness: Ubuntu 12.10 64bit
but grub is broken I see
metap0d_ but can you boot to Windows?
what ISO is on your usb stick metap0d_ ?
I assume the answer is no
gmachine_24: hm... i'm not sure I'm very new at this ... I don't see why I wouldn't be able to if the grub entry were there. All I see is Ubuntu Linux and some memtest entries
metap0d_,  what is ram on computer ?       free -m
Why is my httpd.conf file in /etc/apache2 empty?
bobweaver: 4gb total, 2,381 free
crap. not what i was looking for.
Febul: the data is spread over other files
metap0d_,  and you are using usb ?  do you have a free cd drive atm ?
is there no way to run update-grub on the hard disk from inside the live cd?
Gang, what about his using something like Supergrubdisk or rescatux?
bobweaver: Unfortunately no ... I'm really in a crummy situation
Updated 12.01.4 - Precise pangolin from 9.10 . when it boots, I can't access any launchers, if they show. I can't shut it down from the inside. Where ever the mouse passes, in its path, these blocks of pixelated cubes appear??
bobweaver: I only have 1 USB stick big enough for Ubuntu which is this one, and no other computers, I even thought about using an mp3 player
ok nevermind. He can't download and burn a CD.
Febul: most of it is in apache2.conf, some in conf.d and in the sites/mods available folders
metap0d_,  because the install went bad I dont know try to chroot into the mnt
blackness: about --compare-dest=DIR, how is this different from --delete delete extraneous files from dest dirs?
Febul: are you looking for anything in particular ?
[twisti]: Where is the configuration for modules loaded? I would like to load mod wsgi.
can't he go to the /dev/sda partition and install grub?
so metap0d_  let us see    sudo fdisk -l    again
Febul: for starters, you shouldnt load modules by changing config files
I did that recently to fix a grub/boot problem
metap0d_,  never mind I found the last paste
from a live CD
he can chroot to it.
so metap0d_  open termina and enter in          sudo mount /dev/sda3 /mnt
[twisti]: Well I've installed mod-wsgi from the APT. libapache2-mod-wsgi, is that enough?
he needs to mount the slice, and bind procfs then chroot to /mnt/ and update-grub
then chroot /mnt
?
Febul: i dont see that particular mod, you may have to google how to use that in ubuntu, oh yeah, or that
metap0d_,  let us know when you did that ^^^
then do
sudo a2enmod wsgi
or whatever its called
[twisti]: Have you ever used mod_wsgi?
you can check /etc/apache2/mods-available
so metap0d_  open terminal *  and enter in          sudo mount /dev/sda3 /mnt
Updated 12.01.4 - Precise pangolin from 9.10 . when it boots, I can't access any launchers, if they show. I can't shut it down from the inside. Where ever the mouse passes, in its path, these blocks of pixelated cubes appear??
bobweaver: Done, I don't know if I went to far but afterward I chroot /mnt
bobweaver: the terminal prompt has changed
i have not, which is why i cant tell you about it specifically, only about how youre supposed to load mods in general

bobweaver: now could I issue sudo update-grub /dev/sda ?
metap0d_,   what does       cd /mnt  && ls      say ?
[twisti]: It says that it's loaded, thanks.
a bunch of stuff ?
If anyone here has ever used mod_wsgi/flask, some guided assistance would be greatly appreciated :)
Febul: dont forget that you might have to restart apache2
bobweaver: I was able to change into /mnt without any issues, but ls shows nothing
bobweaver: sorry did you want me doing this before chrooting in ><
cool    metap0d_  what does     whoami      say ?
bobweaver: root
[twisti]: Thanks :)
metap0d_,  enter in        sudo update-grub
what happens ?
[twisti]: How do I restart from the command line again?
sudo service apache2 restart
bobweaver: /usr/sbin/grub-probe: error: cannot find a device for / (is /dev mounted?).

I can't shut it down from the inside. Where ever the mouse passes, in its path, these blocks of pixelated cubes appear??
metap0d_,  what is output of        mount
Can anyone offer a link that will help sort it out?
[twisti]: Thaks
bobweaver: http://pastebin.com/5LKgZzz1
oh, also, youre supposed to do something very similar if you have site-specific config: put the configs into /etc/apache2/sites-available, and then do "sudo a2ensite sitename"
metap0d_,     type in    exit
bobweaver: Looks like I'm back in the live cd prompt again
then metap0d_      cd ~  && sudo umount /mnt
bobweaver: Done
metap0d_, let us see       mount     again
metap0D_ this is the command he needs to run: sudo grub-install /dev/sdaXX
sorry but without the partition # because grub is in the MBR and not on a partition
gmachine_24,  you mean    sudo grub-install --root-directory=/mnt /dev/sda
gmachine_24: Bob had me run that right before I rebooted
bobweaver: http://pastebin.com/S2Mws0dt
alright I'm trying to ssh between 2 servers, one's at home and one's a vps with linode. both are running recent versions ubuntu. I can ssh using key auth between myself on my macbook and my vps and me and my home server but I can't even connect using password auth trying to get from my home-server to my vps
metap0d_,  he is right but it must be mounted and chrooted first
so

sudo mount /dev/sda3 /mnt
bobweaver: OK
metap0d_,    ^^  then  then cd /mnt
but you don't want to install it to a partition
bobweaver: OK
Metapod sudo grub-install --root-directory=/mnt /dev/sda
then
bobweaver: OK
chroot /mnt
then
sudo update-grub
what happens ?
bobweaver: The same error unfortunately: /usr/sbin/grub-probe: error: cannot find a device for / (is /dev mounted?).
"From here, find only the drive name, ignore the partition number, that is, for partitions labeled "root", "data2", "fat", "home" and "swap" it's all still just sda. This is due to the fact that GRUB is installed in the MBR of the drive, and not on a partition."
huh gmachine_24  ^^ can help   ?
I hope so? :)
gmachine_24,     this is metap0d_   drive   http://pastebin.com/ZgwAkbxN
hi
gmachine_24: I'd be very grateful :)
metap0d_ if your drive is /dev/sda then at a command prompt run $sudo grub-install /dev/sda
my via c3 is freezing while installation when cpu goes under 800Mhz
I there a room specific to 12.01.4?? Updated 12.01.4 - Precise pangolin from 9.10 . when it boots, I can't access any launchers, if they show. I can't shut it down from the inside. Where ever the mouse passes, in its path, these blocks of pixelated cubes appear??
gmachine_24: DO you want me to unmount /dev/sda3 then?
my via c3 is freezing while installation when cpu goes under 800Mhz, how do I set the cpu freq to 1Ghz?
metap0d_ yes
my via c3 is freezing while installation when cpu goes under 800Mhz, how do I set the cpu freq to 1Ghz? as boot param?
gmachine_24,  keep in mind that his 1st install did not install all the way so who knows what on sda3 and also he can not boot to windows to get a new image. from which he says that the image that he had the md5sum is in fact bad that is all I know
or gathered if that even helps
I know. But what else is he going to do? He can't d/l a repair disk.
help
:)
metap0d_ did we lose you?
can not partition usb either to make room
Has anybody here used Ubuntu in a PCI-DSS l1 compliant enviroment?
gmachine_24: Kind of, I've been following linux tutorials in an ubuntu virtual machine for a few weeks so I'm picking things up here and there
metap0d_ did you try that command after unmounting /dev/sda
gmachine_24: when I issue sudo update-grub I get: http://pastebin.com/N7g2yZ3y
Or, does anybody know of any Ubuntu hardening guides?
gmachine_24: I don't know if I did it right but I did sudo umount /mnt
metap0d_,  you can always enter in    mount     to see what is mounted where
Is there a channel for 12.04.1?
bobweaver: Ah I see, well looks like it's not mounted anymore
jud what is up with unity ?  I dont understand your question
I wonder if there is neboot in live cds ?
metap0d_ what do you get when you run sudo fdisk -l
netboot *
hi I have an problem with ubuntu and a via c3 cpu freezing ...
I know you've covered this already but I missed it
gmachine_24: I don't see anything in a terminal, bob had me run it to paste to pastebin and that actually had some output .. but I don't remember the command :/
bobweaver: ran update from 9.10 to 12.04.1 but it didn't work
jud,  did you back up your home dir ?
metap0d_   type 'pwd' without the quotes and tell me what you get
gmachine_24: /home/liveuser
liveuser ?
Hiya everyone!
metap0d_ I don't mean to be dense but if you type sudo fdisk -l you get nothing?
gmachine_24: Yes literally nothing, it executes and just goes to another prompt
bobweaver: no,  I figured that if it didn't work, i'd reinstall onto a new hard drive from dvd and just access my old files that way
metap0d_ well that's messed up.
gmachine_24: bob had some black magic before
Is there anyone here who has heard of Tinyfugue?
metap0d_ such as?
jud,  you checked to make sure that your vga card mod(driver ) is loaded ?
gmachine_24: He had me run the fdisk command or a variant of it and then had some pastebin package installed, the pastebin link contained output from fdisk -l
gmachine_24: I don't know why it isn't in my terminal
Is there a nice app that will allow me to remote into various machines including WinXP?
phillijw_: rdesktop, or vnc
phillijw_: that all really depends on what sort of remote service agent your WinXP is running
metap0d_ type 'cd ..' without the quotes
metap0d_,  this can be figured out real fast install pastebinit       sudo apt-get install pastebinit && sudo fdisk -l | pastebinit
that's cd and a space and two periods
orlok: its not running anything 3rd party
ahhh. ok. kudos bobweaver
bobweaver: I've only dabbled with linux and computer tech in general. I'll need to check what that is. What are the implications?
phillijw_: Well, maybe you should be asking, by default, what sort of remote access capabilities does Windows XP have?
gmachine_24: http://pastebin.com/9YJnX94E
phillijw_: as thats going to define what sort of tools you can use to conenct to it.
What is the mail transfer agent referred to as in update-alternatives? I see "mt"
jud,  so on distro upgrades the 3rd party stuff gets turned off so if you are running say nvidia then you might have to re-install. But can you get to a command prompt
well mt is magnetic tape driver operation so not that lol
metap0d_,  that is not from the correct pastebin ;)
Does ubuntu have a MTA installed by default?
bobweaver: Sorry?
bobweaver: can't get there but I pulled the system drive out, put a fresh one in, reinstalled as i thought i might have to....same problem
oh
oops
metap0d_,  I mean that you did not enter the commands that I asked
bobweaver: I entered sudo apt-get install pastebinit && sudo fdisk -l | pastebinit
I really could use just a little bit of help if anyone here is familiar with Tinyfugue.
jud,  how far does it boot up till lightdm (login )
?
metap0d_ Windows 95? Really?
  /disconnect
sorry
gmachine_24: Where do you see that? I'm running Windows 7 Ultimate
metap0d_,  when I enter that in I get this      http://paste.ubuntu.com/1341693/
gmachine_24: that's my flash stick, which formatted as FAT32
metap0d_ on /dev/sdb
metap0d_ from the pastebin
bobweaver: it lets me log in but then i can only move the mouse around and as i do this, pixelated cubes appear and lie in the path of the mouse
gmachine_24, bobweaver
http://pastebin.com/KEEw3Zzb
oops
jud,  when you get to the lightdm menu can you press ctrl+alt+f1   and log in to prompt ?
shell prompt *
metap0d_ when you boot from your hard drive and you get the splash menu with ubuntu and memtest did you try to enter the ubuntu recovery mode?
gmachine_24: Yeah, a few times ... it seems to through the boot process fine but when it hits the login manager I get a massive list of missing files and then my machine reboots
metap0d_ the two pastebins are identical
bobweaver: i'm not at that machine right at the minute...could that be a way in do you think?
metap0d_ well I'm guessing you're screwed.
I know this is off topic for this room but I can't find any channels that have anyone talking about this topic. For me, this is probably the nearest...
Does anyone know about SickBeard?
gmachine_24: Is there no way at grub to specify an existent but not listed partition to boot into? : (
Was wondering if anyone knew of a related program to SickBeard that takes movie queries
metap0d_ you must have access to another computer.
metap0d_ your OS is missing files.
jud,  I know that it is if you can get there then install pastebinit     sudo apt-get install pastebinit        then you can show us your card   like      lspci -vnn | pastebinit
metap0d_ upi
jud,  then you can start debuging from there
metap0d_ you're trying to boot to an incomplete OS
jud I would also run nux test from there
gmachine_24: that's why i came in here in the first place :P
metap0d_ or a bad install
metap0d_, just get to the grub console and start issuing commands
jud,  /usr/lib/nux/unity_support_test -p
bobweaver: why do you think the same would happen after a fresh install?
gmachine_24: my ubuntu install off my flash drive failed part way and messed up GRUB in the process, i've been trying to update grub to re-display my windows partition
metap0d_ right so you need a clean CD to install from or a clean USB image/install
jud,  because Ubuntu can not ship nvidia software or what ever vga closed source it may or may not be
that is illiegal
gmachine_24: Yes but ..  is there no way to get into the perfectly fine windows partition to create that clean USB image?
and so is my spelling ;)
In 12.04, how can I make updates appear in the notification area?
bobweaver: so much to learn
Ben64,  pass it over dbus that would be guess but IDK sorry
bobweaver, its not illegal for them to ship the nvidia drivers
escott,  +1 it is against the laws of free software ? or opensurce
Ben64: updates as it updated packages? update manager?
source *
trism: yes
bobweaver: maybe an easier hardware solution for now?
Ben64: gsettings set com.ubuntu.update-notifier auto-launch false;
Hey, does anyone have a printer similar to an HP OfficeJet J4600 which has webscan ability?
metap0d_ from your USB device there is no choice to remove Ubuntu?
trism: wow thanks!
trism: didn't think it'd be so easy, I was trying all sorts of things
Ben64,  there is a tool called dconf-editor that has a list of all the stuff
yeah I was looking through that
there should be search option for that tool
indeed
metap0d_ Listen, the safest thing to do is to reinstall Windows from the back up I know you have and then reinstall Ubuntu.
:)
trism,  is there a way to list all dbus stuff or is it just go look in /usr/share/dbus-1/services ?
gmachine_24: I actually do have a back up that's relatively recent ... but no media to re-install windows 7 from lol
bobweaver: d-feet is pretty nice
Oo
metap0d_ Can you reinstall from your back up?
gmachine_24: My backups are just encrypted zip files stored on a remote ftp server
gmachine_24: : (
metap0d_ Well, this is lesson #1.
bobweaver: i don't know a great deal about this clearly but it would seem then that there is some permanent storage other than on the hard drive?
gmachine_24: I have an old 512mb flash stick ... i've seen tiny tiny linux distributions on distrowatch, like damn small linux ... could I set one of those up from inside the live cd?
metap0d_ If I were you I'd borrow a Windows 7 DVD from a friend and reinstall the software and then reinstall from your back up
gmachine_24,  no no no borrow a Ubuntu cd from a friend and re-install it Oo
metap0d_ that I do not know.
:)
metap0d_ bobweaver is correct, that would be a better choice. then if it fails you can try the Windows redo. All of  this is just a waste of time.
metap0d_ since you don't have a full Ubuntu install
metap0d_ and cannot access the recovery console
:(
jockey-text keeps crashing and popping up an error on my notification area. how can i make it never run again, as I already have my nvidia driver
metap0d_ Well, you know, they tell you to back things up for a reason.
there must be SOME tool I could download whilst on the live cd to either repair grub or maybe repair the MBR for windows or something
metap0d_ STOP.  you can try supergrubdisk.org either super grub disk or rescatux
metap0d_ but for that you need a cd burner, etc.
would Ubuntu with the Cairo Dock session it sets up on install still count as Ubuntu?
hello
I ask this because Steam for Linux I hear is only coming for Ubuntu and not it's derivatives.
metap0d_ we have given you the commands to restore or repair grub. they are not working. there is some damage to your partitions so that they cannot be read. If you had a Windows 7 disk you could try a repair of Windows from that (after a live boot)
c_smith: if it has the core of ubuntu it's ubuntu
c_smith: haven't you heard of the variants[xubuntu,lubuntu,etc]?
Ben64: I believe that is started by /etc/xdg/autostart/jockey-gtk.desktop on 12.04, if you copy it to ~/.config/autostart/ and set NoDisplay=false you should be able to enable/disable it in gnome-session-properties
hello, i need your help
metap0d_ this is for xp and vista but I think it must be similar for Windows 7 - but you can research it. :) http://helpdeskgeek.com/how-to/fix-mbr-xp-vista/
aeon-ltd, from what I hear those won't even get Steam
maurojas6996_: describe it to the chan as best you can
gmachine_24: I'm reading about https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair, as a last ditch effort
aeon-ltd, simply because the stuff is licensed to Canonical.
c_smith: if it's coming with apt then it will most likely work
huh.
either way, I kinda like Cairo Dock.
Firefox crashes immediately when I start it.   No errors in terminal.  Works fine if I use a different firefox user profile.  What can I do?
c_smith: i can assume eventually someone will get the source code and port it to other package managers anyway
deadmund: remove the offending user profile?
aeon-ltd, problem is Steam is closed-source.
deadmund, remove your firefox profile
Random832, But that's my user!  And I want it!
Ugh
aeon-ltd, Valve hold the source code, and afaik they aren't removing it.
what does it have that you want?
metap0d_ yes, I looked at the boot-repair tool as well - but you need to burn it to a cd or usb stick
good thing I have sync
just delete/move your .firefox directory
metap0d_ maybe you can burn it to your other usb stick. it should be plenty small enough.
i installed a program, that not work, and i remove the program, the program is not in my PC, but the shortcut is in my main menu
c_smith: that's kinda limiting their market, even if ubuntu variants are the most popular
Random832, I am aware of how to delete a profile.  firefox -P will work just as well.  Are you kidding?  All my bookmarks and saved passwords are in my profile.  I have sync though.  I was hoping to avoid deleting the profile
sorry i not speak a good english and the google translate is a sh**
aeon-ltd, yeah, I can't say I don't question that logic, but never look a gift horse in the mouth.
deadmund: you might be able to transfer some of the files from the bad profile to the new one
maurojas6996_,  where are you from ?
Random832, Do you know what firefox sync is?  I have it.  I'm using it.
i am from Venezuela
no i don't ... then why is it a big deal
metap0d_ come to think of it, I think I will do just that. I must go. Good luck to you. Don't feel bad about the back up - when Anonymous trashed the head of the IT security firm that was after them they discovered he used the same password for all his accounts - facebook, twitter, yahoo!, ... everything. A huge no-no. Peace.
Random832, It's not.  Except that the firefox sync key is on a flash drive on the other side of town.  I was hoping to be able to get firefox working without erasing my profile only for timely convenience.  However, I have sync, so I can delete it safely.  I'll just have to wait until tomorrow to get into my normal profile again.
sorry, but nobody in Ubuntu-es
Random832, makes sense?
but I understand english, that i can not to talk good
hi I have an problem with ubuntu and a via c3 cpu freezing ...
maurojas6996_,  /usr/share/applicaions/name_of_program.desktop    is it there ?
my via c3 is freezing while installation when cpu goes under 800Mhz, how do I set the cpu freq to 1Ghz?
maurojas6996_,  /usr/share/applications/name_of_program.desktop    is it there ?  my spelling was bad on last one
chimney, you can find the cpu freq governors in /sys these days
bobweaver: so, if i change the graphics card, will it let me do a fresh install that will work do you think?
escott: it freezes while installation -.0
-.-
no, the file is not be in this directory
but the file is in menu://applications/DesktopSettings
jud,  I can not tell you what it can or cant do with out knowing the computers perpetuals
and is impossible to erase
like vga and ram and cpu ect
escott: its running fine with opensuse12.1 but opensuse is kind of pita
impossible to erase  what does that mean ? like you do not have permissions maurojas6996_   ?
bobweaver: and if i just hit f1 or something while it's booting i can get that info there?
jud,  at login menu press ctrl+alt+f1
yes I have permissions, but the error that this show is: : The specified location is not supported
what is this app maurojas6996_ ?
chimney, look under /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu#/cpufreq
driconf
without the system on the disk?
bobweaver: and then?
maurojas6996_,  this is a applet ?
escott: it freezes somehow while installing
jud,  are you at that computer now ?
when i remove driconf, the shortcut has not removed
chimney, right... you said when the freq was dropped below 800. so set the governor to performance
escott: is there a boot param?
driconf is an applet to control de graphical card
chimney, check http://www.mjmwired.net/kernel/Documentation/cpu-freq/governors.txt
but no work in my PC, and I remove, but the shortcut has not removed from my main menu
maurojas6996_,  I am not a applet person sorry I am sure that others will look this over though may try to re-install then purge it ? that is just a guess
chimney, or get yourself to a terminal fast enough to set it to performance before it drops
yes I try
thanks bobweaver :)
Does anyone have exp using ubuntu's virtual box to use windows????
bobweaver: no, but i don't have a laptop, so top get 2 computers going side by side is gonna be a nuisance. I was just trying to anticipate a couple of steps ahead so i can find out as much as possible before asking someone what to do next tomorrow. I'm currently at a different location you see.
I'm having issues with my usb drives running windows threw virtualbox
markhammel, without decent specs and hardware virtualization, Virtualbox is gonna be painfully slow.
markhammel, that's usually because the guest additions aren't installed.
markhammel, you'll want to install VIrtualbox through the repo Oracl provides.
guest aditions?? what is that where do  i find them to install?
so i need a diff ver of virtualbox?
markhammel, affirmative.
thanks so should i uninstall this one and delete the windows 7
markhammel, if you can wait a second, I can get a guide for installing Oracle's version of VBox.
escott: i just dont understand this _NO_HZ thing in there
markhammel, correct,
...
okay that would be great csmith
ahh jud  yeah I would try to get to tty (ctrl+alt+f1)and debug from there looking at hardware level  and again you can run nux unity test /usr/lib/nux/unity_support_test -p    you might have to go with more light weight or who knows could be bad connection. whta is computer make and model ?
markhammel, http://www.itworld.com/software/304613/install-virtualbox-ubuntu-1210
chimney, i havent messed with governors in a while so im not sure what NO_HZ is either
markhammel, but make sure to remove the current Virtualbox first.
otherwise some very nasty things can occur.
markhammel, then you
escott: I'll try it with gettin a terminal fast :P
just an uninstall should be good enough right?
escott: then in 3 hours ill ask again crying xD
markhammel: thanks so should i uninstall this one and delete the windows 7 <-- why delete the guest OS?
markhammel, no, use this: sudo apt-get purge virtualbox
bobweaver: ok, i'll just try what you've suggested so far, get that output if i can. The make is a chinese slap together, I'll try and be more specific tomorrow. thanks!
markhammel, purge to make sure there's no configs leftover that shouldn't be.
how do i purge?
markhammel, then you'll want to install the Guest Additions from https://www.virtualbox.org/ after installing Oracle's VBox.
i just did sudo apt-get purge virtualbox
markhammel, sudo apt-get purge virtualbox
markhammel, that's the purge I was talking about.
oh okay i did that.
and then you're good to follow the directions I linked
then you'll want the latest guest additions from the site I listed.
bye
c_smith i was on sonys chat help.. its a scheme.. they just try to lie and sell u fake products.
I told them that irc was helping me more then they were and they were just giving me a run around.. LOL
markhammel, I know the feeling.
major company chat help = guy in india getting paid 2.25 an hour
c smith where are the guest additions i dont se them?
r they called guest additions?
markhammel, let me take a look
markhammel, I gave you the wrong file name, it's the VirtualBox Extension Pack you want.
shows how late it is here.
markhammel, also, a tip for irc, type the first few letters of a person name then pressing tab autocompletes it.
ah i thought it might be that. c_smith  great tip
oh
markhammel, not a prob
great its loading ill see if it works now
cool
my terminal ended at 2% [1 virtualbox-4.2 915 kB/59.9 MB 2%]
when i tried to dl the new one.. i hope its supposed to look like that.
it's not.
you may want to rerun the command.
hmm but i have virtual box installed
is it possible the old one never uninstalled correctly
markhammel, apt-get purge would have made sure of that.
hmm i just noticed i could see my kindle from the usb button at the bottum of virtual drive
its installing the drivers  r now for it apparently.
ah, that worked?
i mean thats not what i neeed it to see i need it to see my iphone... but thats a good sign.
cool
markhammel, I take it you installed the extensions?
In apache2, which file contains the LogLevel?
Yeah c_smith the extension installed fine.. im jsut still wondering about the 2% thing and how if it only ran 2 % am i running virtual box now effectively
hmmmm..... that's not something I seen Ubuntu do.
hmm its showing my iphone as an unknown device... and says installation failed.
would I get better raid performance doing a software raid or a hardware raid ? my motherboard has one of those fake raid controllers
I thought Empathy used to be able to do IRC.... did they do away with that in Ubuntu 12.10? or am I missing a package? *giggity*
but it seems to work correctly
maybe i should scroll up and redo the steps
phunyguy_t430s_: account-plugin-irc, not installed by default I think
sweet, thanks
markhammel, might be a good idea
install ubuntu 10.04 from a usb stick, the grub.cfg takes my first hard drive as (hd1), so after usb stick is unplugged, the system won't boot
i must have the usb-stick plugged to boot the hard-drive installation???
there we are.
c_smith i think its cause i had a second virtualbox running even when i tried to delete it
with usb-stick it's called sda, the hard drive is sdb, and grub.cfg stays that way, sucks
markhammel, might be.
xxiao, impossible, ive used the USB liveCD...and its never done this, except when i installed it on the wrong drive.
tried grub-install --root-directory did not help
did you overwrite your USB stick?
blackness: i know, i installed ubuntu many times too
hmm when i try sudo apt-get purge virtualbox
it says virtual box is not installed so not removed
i used the create-startup-disk menu to create those usb sticks, as usual
did you select SDA instead of SDB on accident? and your system drive should be on IDE0/SATA0. why its slaved is beyond me.
i use usb-creator-gtk
this is the first time the usb-stick will treat itself as sda while the hard drive as sdb and after the installation it needs to remain that order
i.e. usb-stick plugged in all the time
c_smith does this look normal? http://paste.ubuntu.com/1341789/
and it ignores usb-stick after the installation at boot time, i had to re-create the stick to boot from usb
absurd
not sure if it's caused by the uefi(disabled) Dell XPS 8500 machine
xxiao, manually edit the grub.cfg to reference the correct disk
i'd start over. and take your time and make sure that your using the right drive.
escott: tried that, grub will give strange errors
burn ubuntu to CD.
xxiao, it shouldn't... what errors are you getting
spent 7 hours on that
grub_rescue
wait, UEFI errors?  Booting from USB stick?
and install VIA that method and it should only find your installed harddrive.
If so, tell the USB stick to boot Legacy, not UEFI.
hope that helps.
the bios supports UEFI, this is some new machine from Dell, however i disabled uefi in bios
why did you disable it?
i installed ubuntu many times, never saw this
xxiao, are you booting from USB stick?
blackness: it's disabled by default
phunyguy_t430s: yes
yes he is phunyguy_t430s
are you getting a boot menu to try Ubuntu or install it? or...?
it boots fine, installed ok, however reboot mandates usb-plugged-in
that is my point xxiao
hey im in trubble
i just went through this.
modify grub.cfg, grub-install, update-grub, none helped
xxiao, re-enable it, your actual harddrive should be SDA..ive never seen a drive show up as SDB. except when i slaved drives with IDE cords.
can i ask a really important question here quick and should be easy
xxiao, get to a boot menu where you can select boot device, then pick the USB stick as a whole, not UEFI mode
phunyguy_t430s: the installation is normal, i got the try and install option, which i opted the latter
xxiao as a boot option or in the gui?
phunyguy_t430s: yes
xxiao, reboot and hit F9 to get a boot menu.
xxiao, where is the bootloader. can you confirm it is on the hard disk mbr
blackness: tried that, hit F12 that is
Okay sweet i have a good feeling about it this time around
ok well, get a boot menu, prolly f9 or f12
oh, mine is F9.
escott: it's , i checked the advanced option during installation, it's on /dev/sda
then boot legacy mode or pick the USB device as a top level option
so many people helping you, im gonna let them take this :)
i JUST went through this
hold on, /dev/sda should be usb-stick in this case...so it installs to usb-stick?
however i don't have a sdb option
xxiao, well sda is the usb... so if the bootloader is on the usb you certainly wont be able to boot without the usb
shot
xxiao, i would do a manual install of grub to sdb, and modify the grub.cfg to reference sda. remove the usb stick reboot and you should be good
hey will anyone help me
the partition stage at usb-boot-installation is shown the hard-drive as sda
helloooo
however after the installation it's sdb
HELLOOO
I NEED HELP ANYONE HEAR ME
JONATHANDAWDY: also, you haven't asked your question yet
thanks i didnt think i was being seen. you know chat filters
thats what I meant
...who uses those?
lol now let me type
i am in boot repair. im in this because i was told to use the checkdisk command in termanal and when i did FOLLOW the walktrough i rebooted and grub-rescue poped up. so i open my liveboot of boot-repair and found that it wont fix grub because it doesnt think it exsists. so in a nutshell i think that covers it
lol lots of words
JONATHANDAWDY, do you mean "chkdsk" which is a windows command?
one thing is there a grub-rescue command to reconfigue the grub table
yes
no
i did a sudo comman that downloaded and ran a chdisk type thing and i receved this command from an ubuntu forems moderator
command*
it modifed my dev/sda2 partition is what it said but grub is on dev/sda1 so idk y it effected it
JONATHANDAWDY, before we can do much to help we would really need to know what exactly you did and what guide you were following
um can  i open the ubuntu forems in boot repair
i have something on here called iceweasel
internet browser
one sec im in trying to find the thread ok
required to serch my name i have to answer this
Which of these makes a word in the English language when rotated through 180 degrees? SIH ISH HIS SHI IHS
please help
escott are you still there
yes
can you answer the question
please i dont understadnit
JONATHANDAWDY, what is it ?
hi
i am serching my thread in the ubuntu forums i am required to answer a question i dont understand
Which of these makes a word in the English language when rotated through 180 degrees? SIH ISH HIS SHI IHS
JONATHANDAWDY: Stay on topic, please.
I used 'dd' to create an image of a full disk (/dev/sda). In hindsight, I probably should have coppied each partition seperately. My question, is there a way to somehow mount this image (containing multiple partitions) so that I may still see the data?
I AM ON TOPIC I AM REQIRED TO ANSWER THE QUESTION TO CONTINUE SO PLEASE READ
Any ideas?
MikeS11, that is a good question
JONATHANDAWDY: And you probably should not use Capslock either.
MikeS11, try http://blog.lifebloodnetworks.com/?p=934
escott: Thanks, I'll check that out.
ubuntu frorums says you have to answer a random question to do a wide search of the data base. now the question they gave me is -----Which of these makes a word in the English language when rotated through 180 degrees? SIH ISH HIS SHI IHS----- now please paulsomebody   answer the question so i can find the answer to escott's question
understand now?
morning all!
morning!
ThoughtWeaver: Good evening!
<paulsomebody> do you undrstand
depends where we all are :D
JONATHANDAWDY, we aren't here to answer captcha's for you. request a different one
JONATHANDAWDY: I do. However, I find you extremely annoying.
JONATHANDAWDY: SIH spells "HIS" when rotated 180 degrees
anyhoo... I need a bit of help with bind9 + dlz that is not giving me authoritative answers
it isnt a captup but thanx for the help crimsonmane you actually care. now that thats solved i can continue
JONATHANDAWDY: i don't actually care. i just wanna shut you up.
you must be an entirely new breed of stupid to not have been able to figure that out
JONATHANDAWDY: type /nick jonathandawdy
i think your capital nickname might be annoying to some people
sorry ppl cared it was an accadent
so what was your issue?
i built bind 9.8.1 with dlz and all seems ok: it answers requests, but not authoritatively...
geez im not to happy to more but leave me alone im getting escott's answer, and random832 private massage me and il reexplain to you ok
ThoughtWeaver: I don't have any experience with DLZ, but you have perked my curiosity... I'm looking into this.
and i really do not want to go back to zone files and restarting and drama...
In case you were addressing me, my issue is front panel mic that is not detected by 12.10.
Mike511 you are awesome! thanks!
nevermind i don't have much time before i have to go to bed anyway, sorry
escott you still there
jonathandawdy, next time im going to say no
i have your link thanxs for helping
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2080771
alfred is the moderator on page two is his las comment
paulsombody: not punting this as an answer, but I had something similar a few years ago and it was becasue the board had some automagic voodoo built in to 'detect' if you wanted to use the port for a mic or an extra set of speakers...
ThoughtWeaver: I'll think about it, thanks.
jonathandawdy, sounds like your NTFS partition was corrupted. you should boot windows and run chkdsk on that partition
i cant boot
i said i boot with grub-rescue
you are welcome
jonathandawdy, then get a windows rescue CD
my windows doesnt work at all its broken. latley ubuntu has been my only boot. windows btw doesnt repair and is a diffrent matter
jonathandawdy, you also need to be more specific in your description of problems... its really unclear. what partition is not working? you never specified?
ThoughtWeaver: Thank you for giving me a good idea.
You are most welcome! glad i could help!
ThoughtWeaver: Hrm. Not too much info on this... I have moved to books now. I expect I'm going suddenly run into the answer and go, "d'oh".
paulsomebody, ive also seen that as a misconfiguration of the intel HDA pin configuration
I really appreciate the help Mike511
escott: Will keep that possibility in mind, thanks.
what would you recommend for a partition table for ubuntu 12.04 desktop, 500 G HD, 4GRam? I would like the paritions to help me keep my data safe/separate when i upgrade my OS
ThoughtWeaver: No problem. I saw your question and went, "What is that?". I looked it up and I then thought, "This could be useful..." :)
mrfgizug, 10-20gb for /
escott 4G for swap, anything for boot?
mrfgizug, if you want a /boot or have a particular hardware need for one
is / where everything goes, including boot?
it seems that a fresh Ubuntu 12.10 install from ISO/Disk fixed my problem
thanks anyhow
cheerio
mrfgizug, yes
cool! i'll loiter for a bit whils i poke at it in the teminal
ThoughtWeaver: What does your SOA look like (you can obfuscate the domain name if you like)?
escott if i say... install inkscape, where does that go?
mrfgizug, various places under /
ThoughtWeaver: Also (and maybe more importantly), what are your NS records for the domain?
Mike511: Sorry was banking :) gimme a sec to get it
escott im planning on doing a bunch of media (video editing, sound editing, lots of pix, at the least these will be installed, libre office, inkscape, gimp, audacity) is 20g enough for the / or would you recommend higher? (of course any output files will be in home somewhere, so i might not need much / compared to /home.) do i have the right idea or is it overkill?
ThoughtWeaver: Or if you want (put this on paste.ubuntu.com), you could throw out something like: "select * from dns_records where zone like '%domain.com%';"
escott oh and blender
Mike511: SOA: |  9 | domain.co.za      | @    | SOA  | NULL              | 180 |        NULL |   10800 |  7200 | 604800 |   86400 | 2012110401 | me.domain.com.        | 19x.yyy.zz.95 |

escott thanks for your suggestions. ive settled on a config for my partitions.
does Ubuntu 12.10 include the EFI stub loader support enabled in its kernel ?

In case anyone else is experiencing problems with audio or mic jacks not detected, that is a known bug and there might be a workaround available for your system. See here https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pulseaudio/+bug/946232 at comment #32.

hello
can you tell me how to connect bluetooth mobile through gui.
when I do "include /etc/supervisor/conf.d/*" does it include the files from a folder say "gearman/" inside the "conf.d" ? please help.
Sorry if this is un related. But is there a way to make grub boot from a usb drive when it's at the "rescue" prompt? When I turn on my machine it goes straight to the rescue prompt and i can't access the bios menu to change the boot order...
rodayo_: BIOS boot order menu should come up first
somsip, i'd think so too...with a ubuntu live usb I made it will boot straight into that but with this windows 8 usb i made that's not the case
press f12 or f10
rodayo
rodayo_: No idea about windows 8. AIUI BIOS always boots first, but the new things with Win8, dunno
at boot press f12 or f10 it normally says
its depends on the computer manufacure
jonathandawdy, right, in mine the first screen says to press Esc for some "setup" stuff(can't quite recall) but that doesn't do anything
is it possible to do it from grub?
no
grub is after
but at the screen where it says pres esc for setup it may say press f10 or f12 for boot-screen
if it doesnt then you may have to reboot 12 times but each time press the f1-12 buton (a difrent one each time) and just keep pressing it ok
one sec, lemme give it a try
then when a windows popps up choose your use drive
it worked!
jonathandawdy, thanks alot!
Hello
hi, how can I switch from a dhcp to a static configuration permanently on 12.04?
using the cli
my /etc/network/interfaces only has 2 lines:
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
aristidesfl: have a look in /etc/network. The interfaces file is what you are using now. The interfaces.static file is what a static IP entry would look like. That's your starting point. Backup files before changign anything
somsip but how com I don't have any line regarding eth0 on /etc/network/interfaces ?
aristidesfl: no idea. sorry
also don't have a interfaces.static
aristidesfl: it looks like this: http://askubuntu.com/questions/143819/how-do-i-configure-my-static-dns-in-interfaces
what I don't understand is why there is why there is an entry for lo but not eth0
what sets the home directory icons?
Hi ther! I created new Gpt partition table using gparted. It has 2 primary partitions./dev/sda1=ntfs & /dev/sd2=ext4. I installed ubuntu using bootable usb stick created using multi system to /dev/sda2. After successful install & reboot i get NO BOOT DEVICE FOUND. please help me!
Here is the screenshot http://i.imgur.com/UITlF.png
In my ~./config/user-dirs.dirs I set a folder called Transfers and I want to give it the same icon as the Downloads folder.
Hey, is it acceptable to ask a general *buntu package management question here?  I'm on Lubuntu, rather than Ubuntu, though.
Rook: Yes, they all use exactly the same repositories and thus are all supported here (though there may be more people in #lubuntu who can answer certain questions).
Jordan_U & ubottu thanks for the info. I'm doing that now
I'll ask and if you can help, then good, if not, we tried.
I added the getdeb games repository and I'm wondering if there's a way I can fix a broken dependency.  Specifically I'm trying to install vegastrike on 12.04.
Is there any command line way to run actions like Scale (the windows preview / Super + W), and opening the Dash?  Other than simulating the keys
anyone here use PHP-FPM ? I installed it but its not listening on port 9000 like it says it should, verified using: sudo netstat -lnp | grep :9000
frjaalrex: You're welcome. Be sure to post the pastebin link with the RESULTS.txt.
Jordon_U: just Doing
Erin: I don't know anything about it, but it sounds like a particular daemon isn't running. Try the following: service --status-all
hi. I have external IDE disk (USB attached with an IDE->USB controller). when it mounts, by default it mounts with specific mount options. How do I tune this up to add 'acl' to that specific device ? what udev rule ?
Jordan_U Here's the link! http://paste.ubuntu.com/1341932/
Unrelated to the above, is there an ubuntu dev channel?
MikeS11,  [ + ]  php5-fpm
MikeS11, php5-fpm also says its running through its own daemon. but its clearly not listening on port 9000 :-\
I don't want to add it to /etc/fstab. It is a removable device. I think.
sbarcteam: you can add it by uuid (to fstab)
sbarcteam: Might be a little complex but..... http://www.reactivated.net/writing_udev_rules.html
IanWizard-Cloud: you mean by partition's uuid ?
sbarcteam: yes.
Erin: Within your php5-fpm config file you can specify the "listen_address" which includes the port. Check you config and see what it is set for.
Unity dev rather.
MikeS11, in this file ? http://paste.ubuntu.com/1341940/ /etc/php5/fpm/php.ini ?
why df output ,avail+used != size ; difference between them is also on Gigabytes.
Erin: No, there should be a php-fpm.conf file. See the php-fpm wiki: http://php-fpm.org/wiki/Configuration_File
how can I check if I have the newest NVIDIA beta drivers installed? What version number should the new ones be?
MikeS11, i can't seem to file, any clue to where it is located? localhost:9000 is supposed to be the "default" setup ....
somethinginteres: http://www.nvidia.com/object/unix.html
MikeS11, seem to find that file that is .
somethinginteres: You can check for what version you are running with the following: dpkg -l | grep nvidia
MikeS11, ahh I found it, had a typo ;-p
Erin: Right on! Out of curiousity, where was it? Also, what port does it say you are supposed to be using?
Mike511: thanks looks like I am not running the one released a few days ago. says  304.48 is my version.
Jordan_U ubottu http://paste.ubuntu.com/1341932/
is there an easy way to check if my ubuntu has blocked an ip?
MikeS11, that file had no line "listen_address"
Synt, are you running a firewall?
not that i know of
MikeS11, i added listen_address = 127.0.0.1:9000 to the file, reloaded the daemon but still its not listening..
atleast i havent installed one by choice on teh ubuntu
it's the 10.4 LTS version of ubuntu
isnt 127.0.0.1:9000  LOOP PORT
somehow i can't ping it or login to the ftp from a company ip but from my home computer i can access it fine
MikeS11, it appears according to the log file I have the wrong syntax for listen_address
and from the company ip i can access other ftp servers fine
one sec synt let me check something
hi
MikeS11, hrm im not sure what format to use? [08-Nov-2012 02:36:12] ERROR: [/etc/php5/fpm/php-fpm.conf:26] unknown entry 'listen_address'
Erin: I believe something like this -> listen_address = 127.0.0.1:9000
MikeS11, tried that, no dice.
hi, i have netbook with an intel atom and an intel 945gse graphics card, and i want to play a video, but it is in slow-motion... can i fix this anyhow?
Erin on that file it should only be "listen = 127.0.0.1:9000"
hi, where should the hg clone code go when using mercurial? in cgi-bin directory? or in the repos directory? thank you
Synt, just tried that too a minute ago still doesn't like it, is it under [global] section ?
Erin: Looking at examples, it looks like Synt may be correct. But that is weird that their homepage wiki says listen_address. :/
might need to comment out "listen = /run/php-fpm/php-fpm.sock"
well its not spitting out errors now
but its still not listening
Synt, I dont have that line
hmm
not sure then.
jonathandawdy still here?
http://www.php.net/manual/en/install.fpm.configuration.php It looks like you need to put the listen entry under a "pool" directive (ie. not global).
MikeS11, ahh
frjaalrex: Do you have UEFI firmware?
Jordan_U No. BIOS
Erin: *fingers crossed*
MikeS11, so like this ? [pool]
listen = 127:0.0.1:9000
frjaalrex: Using fdisk, mark the EFI protective partition as "active". (If this works then you have a buggy BIOS).
Hi guys, I am thiking about installing some kind of linux on virtual machine under my windows. The reason is I want to learn basics of linux, because I am java develeoper and eventhough I develop on windows it might happen in future that I will have to deploy on linux machine
Can you give some tip which distro of linux is used for such purposes does it matter on which distro I am learning?
Erin: listen = 127.0.0.1:9000
ofc I would probably get some without UI
Erin: (proably a typo)
frjaalrex: Note that fdisk will complain since it's GPT, Since you're not actually changing partitions though it's safe.
Jordan_U How do i know which one is EFI protective partition?
Erin check this example https://bugs.php.net/patch-display.php?bug_id=62886&patch=php-fpm.conf&revision=latest
[08-Nov-2012 02:54:48] ALERT: [pool pool] user has not been defined
[08-Nov-2012 02:54:48] ERROR: failed to post process the configuration
frjaalrex: It's the only one there :)
Erin: Check out the example Synt gave - it looks to have a good Pool definition sample.
Jordan_U Could you please give me direct command!
http://paste.ubuntu.com/1341968/
 is what i've got now
frjaalrex: Run "sudo fdisk /dev/sda" and pastebin the output.
if you check the example i posted a pool needs a user and group and other stuff =)
Jordan_U Doing that
Synt, k
hello!
Erin: Good luck!
hi, could anyone help? i've just updated ubuntu 12.10 through some popup window - and after reboot i've lost my wifi. is there some package like fedora's kmod-wl i should reinstall? or problem is somewhere else?
Jordan_U http://paste.ubuntu.com/1341974/
frjaalrex: 'a' then Enter, then '1' and Enter. Then pastebin again.
hrm im a bit confused guys
Synt, I have user www-data group www-data and listen = 127:0.0.0.1 isn't that correct
Hey guys, i've been sitting on windows whole my life, yesterday i "migrated" to ubuntu:)! how do i install utorrent?.. need learn ubuntu feels like im in space ^
ubuntu doesn't have utorrent becuse it's evil
Jordan_U http://paste.ubuntu.com/1341983/
what do you mean?
why BeiFong
frjaalrex: 'p' then pastebin.
qouzi there is no linux port for utorrent to my knowledge.
what is neopomuk backup?
so what pogram do you guys use to handle .torrent files?
qouzi: use transmission
http://www.transmissionbt.com/
thanks guys!
quozi: or you can use qbittorent ....best  torrent client i have seen
hmm
ill try transmission and see how it goes but thanks!
#vim
sudo apt-get install qbittorrent
how do i gzip a file without overwriting the original? gzip myfile.txt changes it to myfile.txt.gz
Jordan_U http://paste.ubuntu.com/1341989/
frjaalrex: 'w' and you're done.
Flynsarmy, I think it's tar -czf gnutar.tar file file file.
Jordan_U Rebooting now. thanks for your help. it means so much
YAY
frjaalrex: You're welcome.
Synt, so I think its running now? x@Media:/etc/php5/fpm$ sudo netstat -lnp | grep :9000

i'm writing a script and i want to add a couple of jobs to my crontab. manually i added them using crontab -e, but how should i do in my script?
Erin seems to be working yes
dathui: why not using /etc/cron.d/ directly and put there single files for each job?
Synt, and YAY now my nginx/php works thx for the help buddy
Synt, fyi I also needed the allowed_clients portion I believe.
I got this error : bash: syntax error near unexpected token `;'
in the terminal
how can I solve this problem
maum: we cant guess what your script looks like
maum: also see #bash
the command was ./a&;./b&
afternoon people
it's so small. what does it do?
maum: ./a & ./b &
iceroot: ok I will try it
iceroot: thanks it works
hmm i can't find anything in iptables blocking my companyip
excuse me, how do I fix this error?: * Missing C library: pcre
guys, when i start the computer i hit " ctrl + alt +t to get terminal up, then i run xchat to come here. Now i have qbittorrent installed, but all this will end with i got many terminals up.. couse when i close the terminal the pogram goes as well.. can i merge this ?
I tried searching the ubuntu packages but nothing seemed like it was obviously that lib, and apt-get install pcre didn't do anything
qouzi: use screen
qouzi: screen will be holding your porgram so it will not die when you close the terminal
hey gysss
;)
feels like this is gonna be a fun day, thanks for your help guys

hi I have one problem, I am python's logging lib. I have a config file - config.cnf http://www.bpaste.net/raw/U17aUpYboXCfxB7anhij/ . My code snippet where I am getting error is http://www.bpaste.net/raw/grnGkEKe8cBwBvrGHjbK/ . I am getting an error saying " ConfigParser.NoSectionError: No section: 'log' " please help. I am lost
the_dark_knight: #python
he
iceroot: aha, so if i add the lines in a file there it should be the same thing as adding them to the file i get when running crontab -e?
dathui: no, when using /etc/cron.d/ you have also to specify a user
dathui: * * * * * username /bin/command
dathui: also you have to put PATH in the file if you dont want to write /bin/ping instead of ping  for example
hi all
dathui: you can copy the PATH line which is shown when using crontab -e
iceroot: aha, thanks
dathui: http://www.daniweb.com/software-development/shell-scripting/threads/166819/how-do-i-edit-crontab-using-a-script#
dathui: maybe that is usefull too but i prefer /etc/cron.d/ instead
iceroot: thanks, i'll look into both. so far it seems like cron.d is a cleaner solution...
is there any file containing a list of blocked ip:s for ubuntu?
k so I installed ngix/php/mysql got them all to play nice. now I just need to learn how to code PHP!
Synt: /etc/hosts.deny
Erin: #php :)
damn, it's empty
Synt: then have a look at iptables/ufw
then i'm all out of ideas why i can't access the server from the company ip
yea can't find it blocked in iptables and ufw either
Synt: by default nothing is blocked in ubuntu, so if you did not set up iptables rules i guess the network is missconfigured
Synt: are they in the same network? if not, if a route is available?
Hi all! Can I learn the amount of disk operations (in MB/GB) of the instances from xentop? It gives information about the requests and the sectors, but I couldn't find how I can learn the total amount of data.
Jordan_U that worked! :) Thanks a lot. May i know what was the prob ?
it's a public ip for the ubuntu
run off esxi
i can access it from my home computer
i can't access it from my company's ip tho
Synt: maybe your company has a firewall?
i can access other ftps just fine and ping other computers fine
yes we have a cisco asa 5505
Synt: try "nmap -p port hostname" to reach the machine, if it will say "filtered" its a firewall
but it's not blocking ftp or icmp
from the ubuntu?
Synt: from the machine you are trying to reach the server
the machine trying to reach the server is not linux tho
Synt: also remember ftps is using a different port then ftp
Synt: port 990 + 991
yea it's set to the standard port 21
we don't have any ssl cert
anyone use fingerprint-gui? gui show verify OK. but "sudo" show fail.
looking for an app to annotate pdfs
with these little 'postit notes'
flpsed and PDFedit don't work
downloading nmap now to test
it came back with filtered
but another ubuntu on same esxi with another public ip came back with open

http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/27394/ "This idea was marked as already implemented the 15 April 12. Available starting Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx." - I have 12.04, but muon doesn't seem to be asynchronous yet. which one is?
Synt: then there is a firewall blocking the traffic for that host
could that firewall be in ubuntu?
How do I fix this problem .... when I do 'vi file<tab>' I get this:
Synt:  any Ubuntu firewall by default is set to be nonrestrictive
because i have not blocked the ubuntu in the cisco

Synt: somewhere between client and server
this is on 12.10
does pure ftpd have the ability to ban ip's?
Synt: maybe a traceroute will show you the machine which is blocking
Synt: everything can ban ips
darmok and jalad at tanagra
Synt: e.g. by using /etc/hosts.deny or failtoban
failtoban?
Synt: failtoban will block a ip when there are to many failing logins from that machine
Synt: fail2ban is imo the correct name
f2b is good
since it's possible some employees tried wrong password to the ftp server several times

I am using sickbeard as the user and group sickbeard, and when sickbeard copys stuff inside my media/TV\ Series/ folder it will chown it to sickbeard. But since plex can only read the media user and group stuff, its unable to find the stuff becuase of permissions. Can i force sickbeard to place it as another user in that folder, i can do this with samba, with force group and user.
fransteven38: also ubuntu 10.10 is no longer supported and will not get security updates anymore
fransteven38: so we suggest to upgrade to a version which is still supported

is it possible to have /var/log mounted from NFS?
brady: which desktop? Gnome? KDE?
unity
JyZyXEL: probably, why?
whatever is default to ubuntu
any idea how to access tenda.cn router to change defaults via command prompt? not via browser. to deny access with defaults?
gordonjcp: space is very limited
JyZyXEL: i would not recommend to put /var/log/ on nfs
there are issues?
JyZyXEL: it will be availbe to late and services may fail
yeah i figured that might be a problem
JyZyXEL: and also nfs is doing a lot of locking that may be an performance issue to when it its mounted on nfs
JyZyXEL: maybe logrotate is a good way to reduce the filesize in /var/log/
yeah i gotta figure out something better
so no takers on my bash completion issue?

I did an install of a server from the Ubuntu alternate install disc with two mds: /boot and LVM container, and a root and swap inside the LVM container. However, when I try to boot that disk, it just hangs with a blank screen (apparently before or around the very start of grub). Any thoughts on what's wrong?
dougbb: Please file a bug report with "ubuntu-bug bash-completion".
Guest15784, That was a good review. I guess the kids will be happy with it then :-)
Um... not sure Vice City is appropriate for kids however
Unless you want them beating up prostitutes for a refund
Hi, I can't remember the exact name of a command line tool. It's used for admins. It shows how ext3 or ext4 fses are accessing to the underlying block device while accessing files.
Touhou11, always a good skill to have...
;-)
Jordan_U: I can do that if I need to ... will probably try again during the day just to see if someone has fixed it already :)
ryoqun: Do you mean iostat?
dougbb: I would appreciate it if you would file a bug report even if you do get it working. If nobody files a bug report, then the bug probably won't get fixed.
cjs: nope.
ryoqun: Can you explain more precisely what this tool shows you?
Jordan_U: yeah, if it's a bug I will file a report, it won't be my first :)
its name was like dumpblk or like that.
ryoqun: Is this something that shows you statistics about operations in progress, or something about the (static) configuration of your system?
cjs: iirc, it's run like strace, and after executing it shows list of detailed io requests.
cjs: the former
Ah, basically an strace for IO on a disk. I've never heard of it, but I'm quite curious to find out what it is.
yeah.
ryoqun: Oh, wait, this isn't the one used for optimizing bootup speed, is it?
I didn't know that upto recently. I somehow lost a bookmark for it ;)
Hi
The one that produces a list of all blocks that were accessed, so that you can then warm you disk cache more quickly (for rotating disks) by reading the blocks in block number order?
cjs: do you mean ureadahead? that's not..
ryoqun: Yeah, ureadahead was what I was thinking of.
how is it possible to patch the vlcplayer in ubuntu?
ryoqun: I'm trying to remember yet another tool
ops, cjs: ^^
cjs: anyway, thanks for helping!
lahla:  what're you needing to patch in it?
cjs: Hehe I remembered the name of the tool: blktrace. (and the bookmarked page was http://tech.voyagegroup.com/archives/479543.html)
ryoqun: Thanks!
heh dr. who
noop.
hello, need help on 10.04 (not 12.x) to know the name of my screen, anyone can ?
it's in $DISPLAY
lahla: To apply a patch you need to download the source code for the relevant release of VLC, apply the patch to the source code, and then compile it
Gagh! usb-creator-gtk is core dumping on me again.
any1 here ever use php my admin ?
Erin:  i've used it before, but i don't deploy it normally.  why?
Erin: there is also #ubuntu-server
just because im not understanding why when I copy the config to the top level dir like it says w/ ssl enabled then I can't get in via https or http...
but non ssl works
I have php5-crypt installed..
morning
Erin:  the web server has to be configured to accept SSL
Erin:  you may want to read up on whatever web server you use's docs
ahhhh
good call didn't even think of that, I just got nginx/php/mysql up and running tonight ;-P
interesting article about the new breed of developers working on gnome & ubuntu - https://igurublog.wordpress.com/2012/11/05/gnome-et-al-rotting-in-threes
Erin:  you may want to read up on how to set up SSL in nginx.  or join #nginx and ask.
oh, another question ... I just recently started using compiz with xfce, and my mozilla windows sometimes lose their decorations and need to be restarted
TheLordOfTime, yup a project for tomorrow, getting php to work was a small nightmare ;-P
I've searched for solutions to this, and none of the ones I have found work
Oh, hm. So gtk-usb-creator appears to crash only on 64-bit systems when using the 12.04.1 server image (i386 or adm64).
Erin:  i set it up in 5 minutes.  not sure what nightmare you'd run into, though... its easy :P
Would there be someone around with a 64-bit 12.04 install that could confirm this for me?
TheLordOfTime, php5-fpm wasnt listening on default port, the guide didn't cover the steps required to make it listen
hi, after given password to login my ubuntu pc, its coming back and asking the passsword again, pls help me about this.
Erin:  which Ubuntu are you on?
which version.
12.10
Erin:  read this: http://lordoftime.info/?p=39
I had to figure out the "pool" settings in the php5-fpm config file
Erin:  i blogged about this since i kinda helped expedite the change.
Erin:  if you had joined #nginx and asked, we'd have gotten that fixed quickly
TheLordOfTime, well its alrdy working
Erin:  in any case, you should read the documentation of nginx on how to configure SSL.  you'll need a *real* cert for it to work though.
Why do we use password when all it takes to break into our computer is one page on password recovery which any person could think of.
TheLordOfTime, kk cool. im dead tired though so it'll be tomorrow ;-)
Erin:  well, #nginx can help.  so can I, but good luck finding me tomorrow :P
TheLordOfTime, but before I go basically my issue with php was it just wasn't setup to listen on port 9000 like it was supposed to be
Erin:  i know.  i was the one that pioneered the change to make it listen on a UNIX socket.  all detailed in my blog.
TheLordOfTime, and none of the guides I found covered setting up the "pool" settings it required
ahh im not using a socket im using port 9000 obviously, its working just fine now.
Erin:  google != your friend, the location where those guides are are not search-engined.
BeiFong: if your computer can be accessed by more than 1 user, recovery should be the first thing to be removed from boot-options
im new to all this I dont even know php (yet) lol
why cant i make a symbolic link pointing to a file on ntfs partition? i tried: ln -s file_on_ntfs my_link
lovre, prolly cause its ntfs..
lovre: what error do you get?
and what file system are you on when you try it?
dougbb: i dont get an error, the link is created, but when i open it its just empty
dougbb: im on ext4
lovre: Ok, is the ntfs file system mounted?
and did you use the full path to the file on the ntfs partition?
dougbb: seems to be, I can open it in Thunar and from the Terminal
lovre, what does 'ls -l link' tell you about where it thinks the file is?
llutz, boot options. you mean the grub.cfg?
dougbb: it shows the correct path, but only relative, not apsolute, is this ok?
lovre: depends on what you mean by relative
dougbb: it says: myLink -> target.txt
dougbb: doesnt say myLink -> /path/to/target.txt
lovre: you need to supply the full path
ah
how else will the ext4 fs know where the file is located?
ln -s foo bar refers to a local file 'foo' in that same directory
dougbb: i missunderstood how ln worked, i thought since i was at the right directory in the terminal, that it would be appended automatically, which would be kind of logical
lovre: it actually wouldn't be logical at all :)
but learning why is part of the process of learning unix system administration
dougbb: well, i dont know why.. yet :D
exactly
BeiFong: yes, like "GRUB_DISABLE_LINUX_RECOVERY=true" in  /etc/default/grub
dougbb: from my pov it seems logical because like when i rm a file, i just type a name if i am positioned correctly, no need for a full path
lovre: I think you're confusing the target and the link
dougbb: hmm, it seems to still not work :(
... and the relative point of view of each file system
dougbb: sorry, i was mistaken, it works now
dougbb: well, im here to learn aint i :D
dougbb: thanks for your time

glad to help
I use simple scan and can't scan a second time without closing the program. Has anyone an idea how to fix that?
(if I scan a second time. nothing happens. I have to restart the program to scan again)
Fernest, have you try pushing the start a new scan buttton?
in the software?
BeiFong: in the sotware?
it's called start a new document.
it should not be in a new document, since I have to scan the front pages first and later the back pages
BeiFong: if I use "New" in SimpleScan I still can't scan. I have to close and restart the program
Fernest  I have that too, on an old Canon scanner, havent found a fix yet - Canon is not well supported - what make is your scanner?
Hello, setting AllowOverride All makes apache return error 500 on every page. i edited the /etc/apache2/sites-available/default file

Morning Guys
just wondering if anyone has had any trouble playing vimeo videos on ubuntu?
Fernest  https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsScannersBrother
strange but i cant play any vimeo video on any browser :s
andybrine: flash player?
try reinstalling
it's 97% a flash player issue
MonkeyDust: But isnt it more of a software bug? Scanning it the first time works like a charm. Scanning more does not work.
the flash player is working fine, it only seems to be one video now
not sure what that was
the video I want to watch though just wont play :s
my dns seems to be messed up
deanna yeah sad
llutz, can I just delete a some lines from /etc/default/grub? they don't have default values if they aren't present do they?
this page https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 doesn't say much
Fernest  sounds odd, maybe try xsane, it's more advanced
having an issue sshing into terminal
input doesn't appear
until I press enter
if ssh is like telnet you need to switch it to character mode
okay so after calling Python (which exits with error message) no characters appear after typing
hi
i was using pdf yesterday before installing update
afterwards I was unable to view pdf file

BeiFong: i guess you can, but why?
I was always asked to choose a program
what has happened
also ubuntu refuses to install new update
s
MonkeyDust: Thx! Xsane seems to work better. Although it does not scan the first few millimeters of a page, which might be the hardware.
llutz, I'm not assured. If I have only the variables that are on or mean something it would make it clear.
llutz, these are confusing http://paste.ubuntu.com/1342234/
BeiFong: then removing those comments should be fine. they are just a help for some situations, usefull since grub2 is poorly documented
llutz, I meant delete the whole entries not comment or uncomment.

cjs: http://stinebaugh.info/installing-ubuntu-server-12-04-lts-using-hardware-raid1/
cjs: oh you are looking for software radi???
Okcf: Yes. I'm using the md driver.
http://blog.neolocus.com/2012/04/ubuntu-12-04-lts-and-soft-raid-with-mdadm/
Okcf: The install appeared to go ok for me, but it won't boot. I get just a blank screen with a blinking text cursor.
how long did u wait on that blinking text cursor
??
Okcf: Several minutes.
hummm
Okcf: That web page you gave me starts with, "Ubuntu installer does not come with Software RAID support." But that seems to be false: RAID was right there in the (manual) partitioning menu.
Okcf: So what I did was create two partitions on the disk, both set to "use as RAID physical volume" in the installer. One has an ext4 mounted on /boot, the other an LVM with /root and swap in it. (This is what I did back in the 8.04 days, where that all seemed to work fine.)
Okcf: Oh, hm, it does occur to me that, since I'm not using encryption, I could just do one LVM with root and swap, and not have a separate /boot. Does that seem like a better idea?
hola
hola

if you are board go learn penatration testing
it's interesting
gordonjcp, Okcf: booting up the installer in rescue mode, things do look a bit weird. Starting a shell with my LVM root as root, I see that df -h claims that /dev/md0 (a 240 MB partition for /boot) is 15G in size and has otherwise the same size/used/avail as root.
cjs: o_O
gordonjcp: My thoughts run more to, "Uh oh." :-)
* quant is away: I'm busy... thinking...thinking...thinking...
quant: please turn that off
cjs: O_o wrong config?
are you sure you did the step by step process the right way?
guys i have a problem. although i have net connectivity i cannot open pages... can anyone help?
Okcf: fstab appears correct. "umount /boot" says, "/boot: not mounted," but /boot isn't mounted after that. "mount /boot" then mounts it, and things look fine.
Okcf: I'm pretty sure, yup. I've done it twice now, actually, and I checked pretty carefully the second time.
cjs: back up, nuke and pave
seems like it is doing mirroring but on 2 different prtitions
i am from that machine. i can ping every site, i can use apps but not browsers...
which is kinda ...
euklidis: try looking at proxy settings
Okcf: I have two mirrors: md0 on sda1 (and soon, sdb1), and md1 on sda2 (and soon, sdb2). This is because I have to mirror partitions, not the entire disk.
i did. they are correct
ok that's cool
no proxy ;)
but it is mirroring the wrong folds
So, let me try re-installing grub. Okcf, gordonjcp, what argument do I give to grub-install? /dev/md0? /dev/sda1?
grub is on sda1 and sdb1
on a md0 raid
cjs: https://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/serverguide/advanced-installation.html
Goauld: So, I use grub-install /dev/sda1, then. (I'll have to do sdb1 later, when it comes on line.)
<danieljs> Hello. I'm trying to install Phantomjs 1.7 on Ubuntu 11.04 x64. the hosting is mediatemple. I get "segmentation fault". Anyone can help? thank you.

I'm using latest ubuntu quantal server and have a serious kvm memory problem.
haha..this is cool! My Windows computer displays a message from my ISP that says i was disconnected for not paying in time (probably true and i'm going to pay it now) ,but my linux pc has full access to internet :D
cjs you can install them all at once
Goauld: Yes, if I had another SATA cable handy. :-)
Hello! The dpkg -l vlc-nox displays that the package is desired for install, but it is not installed. It is selected for install with dselect, but dselect/install does not do a thing. What's the problem? (12.0.4)
A kvm guest i started with -m 2048 (so 2048 of ram) is actually taking 2700 (res) and 4700 (virt) on the host...?! :-(
Hello everyone!
how can i debug and fix this? :-)
... and what does "Noting disappearance of X" means?
gucki  better ask in #ubuntu-server
ok
Goauld: So, reinstalling grub to /dev/sda1 didn't work.
MonkeyDust: ok thanks, i'll do :)
I was uninstalling nginx and deleted the /etc/nginx folder, now after apt-get remove and apt-get install it is not created again. Do you know how can I solve this problem?
boot from live cd
pba: try purge and remove the nginx permanently.
anyone?
pba, what command did you use to delete that directory?
How can it happend, that dselect does not install selected packages. Simply does not list them when using the Install menu.

hi i have a bitof a problem. my hdd on my PC seems to have gone down, if i use clonezilla will this preserve everything onto the new drive and it *should* boot ?
jalexandru_, check your username and database name
Goauld: So, grub-install /dev/sda didn't help, either. Any thoughts on how I might debug this?
Maybe I'll try an install without a /boot.
@riktking why not boot on the pc by a live usb and copy all the stuff in there to another pc?
how can I connect to a postgresql db? for example in mysql is easy: mysql -u root -p ,same command for postgres?

greenit, it's normal is everything working fine
On ubuntu 12.04 i can only run ekiga successfully as a root but i dont want to guive the root permissions to it. how do i fix this?
savio: well, it's a bit slow, but else, it works
BeiFong, I used sudo rm -Rf foder
set theme demonspork
savio: i should also say that it is a netbook...
greenit, what processor and ram
Celso:  whats the error when not ran as root? could be the userea need to be part of a group.
savio: intel atom n270 (2x1.6ghz) and 1gb ram
greenit, are you playing 1080p video then it will run bit slow
@ dr_willis the error is :  unable to register. globally unacceptable
savio: yea, i am running a 1080p video, but its not a bit slow, its a diashow...
1080p was overwhelming on my 2 netbooks. depending on the codec. easier to reencode the video for them then play. is what i did.
atom pcs usually have rely on hardware decoding for 1080p videos
name a really small package to apt-get!
@ dr_willis i have been searching but the only thing that fixed was running it as sudo
Celso:  run it from a terminal, look for more detailed error messages to search for in the forums/askubuntu.com would be what i would try next
i already try it but in ask ubuntu says that not meet the quality requirements  -_-
what dosent meet the requirements?
the askubuntu when i put the question
Celso, paste your terminal output to pastbin
Celso:  search the site for other questions that are  similer.. no need to post your own question first....
Goauld: So, installing just a single LVM with root and swap (no separate /boot) ends up with my BIOS telling me no disk is bootable. :-(
Celso: can you share the link to askubuntu?
@ savio: what output? when i click on ekiga icon simply opens ekiga and shows the error
@ yeats: what link?
run ekiga from a terminal...
ok
Celso, follow dr_willis
Argh. Looks like I had my BIOS SATA mode in traditional, rather than AHCI mode, all this time. And that appears to have been part of the problem.
in where can i see locale definitions? i have looked in /etc and i see no i18n file
running it from terminal dont show anything. and running  "sudo ekiga" on terminal dont show anything either. just opens ekiga.
Now at least I get a grub menu.
Celso, don't use sudo
wait.... i think i know the problem
well for starters you should gksudo guiapp  ;)
apparently, after i close ekiga, it continues to running on the background.
but its also possiblr some setting file got owned by root in your users home..
I am having the strange thing that my raid1 md1 is not auto mounting. by restart it says that I have to press S to Skip mounting. But if I do mount -a than it mounts. Any idea?
hum...
dr_willis, can ask you question about firewall configuration simple one
savio:  i rarely use firewalls. my router handles it
but gksudo will block some root access?
If I did sudo apt-get install ruby I guess I can also sudo apt-get uninstall ruby? but there is no such operation. how can I remove a package?
xwit: apt-get remove.
Celso:  gksudo should be used for x gui apps.. it dosent block anything that im aware of
xwit: Or apt-get purge if you want to remove config files as well.
ruby may be a meta package so removeing it may not remove much
dr_willis: But uninstalling it should remove all dependent packages that were brought in only because he installed the ruby package.
so, in another words, its the same as sudo, but for the gui apps. Well, Thanks for all the help! Dont know how it was but it got fixed. but what it is strange is that ekiga is still running on the background
Hello... If I choose to install a LTS release, how hard is it later to upgrade to current 'regular' release?

danci1973: there is no difference when using lts as base nor not
Thanks iceroot
using aptitude to reinstall/install stuff these days is not a good idea. but once you got a list theres other ways to use it
i don't think so
dr_willis, why so? i think aptitude / apt-get in best
i tend to make custom scripts to install thre dozen or so tools  i want
dr_willis, thats very cleaver
savio:  dont use aptitude. it can cause issues. apt-get is fine
keep the script on my ubuntu one account also. ;)
dr_willis, i don't use that crap apt-get is super cow
hmm. i never did try the account sync feature in 12.10 yet.
aptitude still works fine on i386, just issues with amd64/multiarch
ive not used aptitude much.. ive had it do 'weird' things ages ago so always avoided it.
it removed then reinstalled the same 50+ packages for me when i was installing some apt.. never did figure out why.  but the system survived.
package management is such an... interesting task. ;)
dr_willis: that might have been at the time apt-get couldn't use aptitudes extended status flags, long time ago
So when my 12.04 amd64 server install boots, I get a grub menu, and things seem to work ok if I do a rescue boot. But if I do a non-rescue boot, I end up with a blank screen. (The monitor's still getting a signal, but there's no text or anything else.) Ctrl-Alt-F1 through F8 don't bring up anything, either. Ideas?
Oh, it's definitely not coming up. In recovery mode, if I continue through to normal boot, I can see SMTP running on port 25. It's not in non-recovery mode.
niente italiano? tutti arabi?
fabryfb: ma arabo sei tu ;p

danci1973  depends if your hardware is 64bit - 32bit rins on anything

danci1973, it's not depend on ram
danci1973: 32bit is only recommended for people who don't know which to use

malware in linux? am i missing something?
MonkeyDust, yup
malware in linux .. using VirtualBox and a Windows VM
MonkeyDust, http://gr8idea.info/os/tutorials/security/malware.html
savio: Well, adding some echo commands indicates that the last line of the grub script is executed (it got past the initrd). Those echoed lines stay on the screen, and then it seems to freeze, except for accepting ctrl-alt-del to reboot.

Can I list apt-packages by size?
I just want to get some small ones
savio: Weirdly enough, adding the "recovery nomodeset" options to the end of the linux line in the non-recovery boot script still exhibits a freeze. Is there some other difference between recovery and non-recovery boots?
http://www.linux.com/learn/tutorials/284124-myth-busting-is-linux-immune-to-viruses
savio: Ah! "gfxmode $linux_gfx_mode".
savio: So you're kind of right. That exposes the problem that I'm dropping to a busybox shell. Maybe because I got the option for continue-boot-on-broken raid wrong?
cjs, i got same black scrren problem long ago when i was using blacktrack linux
savio: the lack of screen issue is fixed by deleing the gfxmode line, actually. That exposed the other problem, which is that I drop into a busybox shell.
cjs it helps if you have any grahics driver problem and if it other than that then we have to look at it
Anybody know off hand where I set the parameter for continue boot or not on broken RAID?
Hey all
hei blueskaj
hi blackshirt
good night
Can I list apt-packages by size? I just want to try and get some small ones for a test
savio: The issue was actually present only when I dropped to busybox. If I leave the gfxmode line in, but type (blindly) "exit" at the blank screen, the boot continues and I eventually get messages.
cjs, strange
Ubuntu has disappeared from the grub boot list, how can I add it again? I started up live usb and ran boot-repair but no dice.
does someone have a suggestion?
thanks for reminding me, i have a pate of the boot options
http://paste.ubuntu.com/1342288/
savio: Do you have any idea about how I get that line out of my grub boot scripts? It's not obvious when looking at /etc/default/grub.
cjs: /boot/grub/menu.lst
cjs, or just issue update-grub
I do not have a /boot/grub/menu.lst item
savio: The problem is, I don't know what to change in /etc/default/grub (which is what I presume update-grub uses to generate a new grub config).
Wh1tebird: my mistake. :)  I forgot ubuntu does things differently.
cjs is your problem solve or you want to add something to grub option
bpuzzled, do you maybe have an idea how to re-ad the ubuntu entry?
savio: There are two problems: that it stops booting and drops to a mini-shell or whatever, and that during that time, the graphics mode is set such that I get a blank screen. Let's work on the latter, first. If I manually remove the "gfxmode $linux_gfx_mode" line when booting in grub, that fixes the problem. But I'd like to know what to do to make this change permanent.
Hi I got Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS and why's apt holding the packages libpurple0 and pidgin back?
Wh1tebird: usually you do: grub-install /dev/<DISK> -- e.g. grub-install /dev/sda

Hi, my system wireless randonly stops working. in addition, after my wlan faults, i am also not able to sudo any more or change to other ttys. i can not get the wlan to work again without reboot. The system is still working though and i can start applications as i wish. my dmesg: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1342405/ kern.log http://paste.ubuntu.com/1342409/ and syslog http://paste.ubuntu.com/1342413/ I don't know how to reproduce this error and i

hello everyone! I have a question: could you please tell me what the command or key combination for "Switch user account" is in Ubuntu 12.10? I mean, to be directly taken to the login screen, without going to the Lock screen first? Is there such a command or key combination?
ampersand, i think for that you need to log out, not really sure
Wh1tebird: is there a recovery option?
royale1223, no, only options are memtest and back to windows
savio: Not too easily, though it's exactly what 12.04 server installed.
Wh1tebird, yes, I can do it like that, but I was wondering if there's a possibility to go directly to the login screen. Or even if I just lock the screen, without logging out, there's the "Switch user" button on the lock screen that takes me to that.
and the partition is intact, i can access the files from windws
?dev
savio: Oh, wait, I can, after I check that a copy on another 12.04 server is the same.
Wh1tebird: You'll need a live cd/usb then.
Ampersand: ctrl-alt-F* where * is usually 7-9
ampersand, maybe try this : http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1030073
royale1223 i have one, what do i have to do from it then?
Wh1tebird: How did you install ubuntu? Is this your first time? Have you used any form of linux before?
This is a dual boot machine on which i installed first ubuntu and then windows. I've used ubuntu many times before. Ubuntu was installed from cd.
My pc just came back from repair and the entry is gone, don't know if it was the case when i sent him in
Wh1tebird: Installed from within windows or by directly booting into the cd?
savio: http://pastebin.com/mjzuzaKX
bootin in the cd
Ampersand: you might want to disable lock screen with dconf org.gnome.desktop.lockdown
it's not wubi
Doesnt cd ~ put me in /home?
Wh1tebird: Good, so boot into the live cd and fire up a terminal.
savio: Note that the GRUB_GFXMODE changes what resolution grub runs in, but that's not what I need. I need whatever tweaks the $linux_gfx_mode variables in /boot/grub/menu.cnf.
ok, i'll reconnect when logged into the live cd, brb

savio: I'm not sure what you mean by "terminal". Basically, grub works fine, and if the boot process isn't interrupted, I eventually get a login prompt, but if it is, I'm dropped to the busybox prompt. By default, I can't see that happen at all, but if I change my boot script for grub at boot time from "gfxmode $linux_gfx_mode" to "gfxmode text" (or just remove that line), I can see it drop to the busybox prompt.

i have a 12.04 ubuntu usb stick, is there an option for me to install via tty0 instead of tty7?
i.e. no UI?
no GUI
somehow the video driver will fail at installation, but once it's installed it's ok
xxiao can you use ctrl+alt+F1?
this is a known issue on Dell XPS 8500
Wh1tebird: yeah, but F7 keeps running, then video driver will kill the install
vlt: .mozilla folder is in the $HOME dir.
need somehow disable the video driver fully
xxiao also in the alternate installer?
Wh1tebird: i tried desktop and server version, the same

please help!! i've messed up with compiz and now i don't have the upper side of the windows anymore, even tought i've cancelled the changes i made with compiz.
andrea_:  upper side? you mean the titlebat/controls?
dr_willis: yes, where you can drag the window, iconize and so on
andrea_:  the webupd8 blog site has some articales on what commands to totally reset unity and compiz back to defaults
just found out for 11.04, alt-ctl-F1 is alive while F7 is bad
even rebooting doesnt help
Hi, just a quick question: Does setting a single key shortcut in the keyboard preferences work for anyone in 12.10? It's no problem to set a shortcut like "<ctrl>0xaf" but if I set only "0xaf" (which is a special key on my laptop) then nothing works
tried gdm restart, failed
xxiao: 11.04 is no longer supported
11.10/12.04 even F1 is dead
ThinkT510: i know, but my lovely customer only has binary drives for 11.10
since 11.10 failed to install i have to install older ones to upgrade

hi, I upgraded ubuntu and now my menus have been replaced by some big buttons
how do I find things now? I had lots of educational programs in a menu and now I can't find them
royale1223 llutz now i'm presented with this : http://paste.ubuntu.com/1342513/
shomon  the best to get used to the new interface, is by using it -- click up left and see what happens
yeah a big black square comes out and I can type program ames
but I don't know the program names, Ijust want my menu back
also I already have terminals to tyupe things in
shomon: what menu?
andrea_: that makes no sence to me.
a menu with all the programs in my computer in it
unity dash?
itwas in all the previous versions before it triede to copy apple
shomon: yeah, Gnome used to have that a few years ago
is there a way to get rid of hese buttons?
shomon: gnome2 is no longer supported
I think they got rid of that menu thing because it was stupid and inconvenient
shomon: there are 'classic gnome menu' indicator applets and programs for unity and gnome-shell
how do people find programs now on their computer?
I want all the educational programs
shomon: what do you mean, "find"
shomon  we got used to the new interface
if you can do that with this fine.. but typing stuff in that box each time is like gong back to using a VAX
for old style gnome, suod apt-get install gnome-session-fallback then sudo apt-get install indicator-applet-appmenu then sudo apt-get install gnome-tweak-tool
sudo*
I just press the Cmd key and type the name of the thing I want
find: I don't know the name of them. I'd put them all in a menu so my daugfhter ca use them
can
shomon  xfce and lxde don't have the buttons
Wh1tebird: well and good, ls -la /usr/sbin
okay thanks STMelon I'll try that
shomon  or simply learn how to use unity, like we all did

Package 'rubygems' is not installed, so not removed
rubygems package wants ruby1.8
system's ruby is 1.9.3p194
quesada: rubygems comes with ruby as of 1.9... what happens if you do this: ruby -e "puts require 'sass'" ?
you should just get 'true'.
is there any way to set up a network bridge using network-manager, or do I have to stop using network-manager when I start with complicated stuff?

kefir:  network bridge same as internet connection shareing? theres the !ics guide that i think mentions a few tools to set it up.
quesada: I suspected that might happen, though I'm not sure why.  it means the gem path isn't set up properly.  I've never really got to the bottom of how you fix that in a correct way...

quesada: from within irb, if I do "require 'sass'" then the correct path gets added to $: for me...
quesada: I would just try reinstalling ruby.
#join irc
hi community need help to set environment variable
quesada: maybe the umask changes mean ruby can't read some file.
for me: NameError: undefined local variable or method `sass' for main:Object
makes sense
talpur: man export
quesada: needs to be a string. :)
same for python
join #python
bpuzzled: LoadError: cannot load such file -- sass
quesada: ok.  try reinstalling ruby (and python if you say you get a similar problem).
I suspect something went really wrong with my upgrade to 12.10
hi everyone, i am considering to buy the nook simple touch, but it is not clear to me if i have to root it, to so i can load books on it from ubuntu
i have a kindle, when i plug it to my ubuntu, it appears as a flash drive, any pdf put there can be read, is this similar with the nook?
bpuzzled: ruby -v is ruby 1.9.3p194
can some one confirm?
but
ruby -e 'puts $:'
quesada: same here
/usr/local/lib/site_ruby/1.9.1
etc
all 1.9.1
oznt: check if calibre supports the nook
Anyone familiar with cgroups? I'm trying to limit the cpu usage of a process and I think I did it all right, but regardless of what I set cpu.shares to it still runs at full speed
quesada: I think they realised that putting the version number in there was a bad idea... they stopped changing it after 1.9.1.
ah
i am now, but it not clear
still, something is broken
they talk about collections
and I think they went from 1.8.2 to 1.9.3
http://paste.ubuntu.com/1342687/ kindly see the error and help to reslove
Trying to figure out why ubuntu can't be loaded from a nfs and tftp server, keep getting error messages about the kernel not being found. Have checked file permissions and the path to the kernel and everything is correct.
talpur_: it's .cshrc -- so ./.cshrc
how can i get wine to work with jvm? i can compile and run java programs from the terminal.... i am trying to run minecraft inside wine's c folder but it says cannot find jvm
removing python is impossible
it takes half the system with it
so if it's affected, I'm screwed
hmm
quesada: not sure how much of a good idea this is, but you might be able to fix by doing: chmod -R o+r /usr
llutz, calibre converts stuff, but can I simply drag and drop book?
everything under /usr should be world-readable, really.
dr_willis: a bridge actually makes two (or more) separate networks work as a single LAN, by forwarding broadcasts and doing all sorts of stuff. most people don't use it, but it's great for xen and vpns
quesada: (of course, run that as root ;))
oznt: calibre can read/write books from/to ereaders if they are supported
did it with sudo, problem still there
rubygems/dependency.rb:247:in `to_specs': Could not find sass (>= 0) amongst [] (Gem::LoadError)
when running sas
ok, i will install it , and go to b&n to see if they let me test it
llutz, thanks, I got to run!
oznt: if not, theres kobo touch :)
llutz, what is kobo?
oznt: another ereader
can i get it on the store?
bpuzzled: should I reboot? reinstall?
oznt: http://www.kobobooks.de/touch
oh, ja i have to wait until i come back to germany
oznt: http://www.kobobooks.com/touch  sry wrong link
quesada: reinstalling is drastic.  you probably want to avoid that. :/
oznt: comes from canada
thing is i am now in chicago, and it is cheaper here, because of euro to dollar
I installed the skype 64 bit . They say it is 64bit but all dependency is 32 bit... I had to install lots of extra 32 bit dependency. Are they lying?
I don't want to do much knowing that both ruby and python seem to be borked somehow
bpuzzled: I could fix the error can you write me the exact command I will be thankful
llutz, still i need to grab it today or tomorrow, i fly on sunday
anyway
quesada: looking at my system, it looks like I get the correct directory set in /usr/lib/ruby/1.9.1/rubygems/defaults.rb on line 48.
got to run! thanks for  the info
the more I install on the current system, the more borked it'll be
oznt: hurry up then :) good luck
talpur_: . ./.cshrc
quesada: could be yeah. :/
Honestly, I've reinstalled ubuntu more times I can count
like 2-3 times every 6 months
bpuzzled: sorry but its again give the same error bash: ./.cshrc: No such file or directory
quesada, you're doing it wrong then.  what're you installing?
Hello
Is there a Terminal command for me to install Photoshop on my XFCE machine?
it gets unusable when updating. I try to resurrect it, spend a weekend on forums, etc, decide it's easier to reinstall
talpur_: oh, sorry, I didn't read your paste carefully enough... those scripts that you source are tailored for specific shells.  so, for example, you should source cshrc if you're actually running cshrc.
bpuzzled: sorry but its again give the same error bash: ./.cshrc: No such file or directory
usually an update takes X with it
mostly kde
talpur_: you might have more success with shrc, so try: . ./shrc
quesada  perform sudo apt-get autoremove and sudo apt-get clean from time to time
Is there a Terminal command for me to install Photoshop on my XFCE machine?
Hishamoto_Masuki, you'd need to purchase Photoshop, and read up about wine, and see if photoshop works on wine.
Yeah, but I need just the launcher
I have wine
I use Wine a lot
MonkeyDust: just did, nothing reported
But Adobe won't even let me have the WIndows trial
thanks bpuzzled:  its resolved
Hishamoto_Masuki, are you saying it just won't let you install it?
hello... I just wanted to know what happens when I try (install) multiple environments ? like gnome3,unity,kde,xfce and so on ... does it affect the system? other than bloated application menus?
eheemmm
talpur_: cool. :)
Yeah!
hy
ubuntu comes by default with unity gnome...
Hishamoto_Masuki: maybe it's time to use gimp instead. ;)
borked system python doesn't bother me much because I use virtualenv
Hishamoto_Masuki, that's an issue with Adobe not wine nor Ubuntu
but I need ruby for sass
I'm in a Photoshop class -_-
And I use Gimp
Hishamoto_Masuki, time to go get Windows and put it in a virtual machine.  or install windows on your computer alongside Ubuntu.  Full windows.  not a trial
hello guys
i'm using IRC through a server of mine and i want to report a different hostname
instead of somethingsomething.bb.sky.com
[server runs ubuntu]
bpuzzled: asking on #ruby...
RandomPixels: you either need 1) a cloak, 2) a bouncer or 3) a vpn.  (sorted by ascending levels of pain-in-the-backside).
i already have a bouncer set up on it
should i search in the bouncer config ? (i thought it was more an OS setting)
RandomPixels: ask #freenode for a cloak, read tha FAQ before, be happy
don't want a cloak specifically (i use that bouncer on other networks than freenode)
RandomPixels: then check your rdns-record
can i use chinese?
thank you
bpuzzled: prob solved using sass from apt-get
quesada: heh
quesada: oh well. :)
thanks so much for your intense help :)
no problem!
old, but should work
does the Ubuntu 12.10 kernel support the EFI stub loader by default ?
i.e. can I install it into an EFI computer without Grub 2
Trying to figure out why ubuntu can't be loaded from a nfs and tftp server, keep getting error messages about the kernel not being found. Have checked file permissions and the path to the kernel and everything is

Hello
could please somebody tell me how to restore compiz default in 12.10 ?  please, i'm doomed"
bpuzzled: shound I try using rvm?
wat is compiz andrea?
riqdiiz: what?
quesada: maybe... I've never used rvm myself.
Hi all, question: I use Chrome, but read that Chromium has the Webapps stuff... can I get that in chrome?  If not, is Chromium updated or is it lagging behind as usual?
riqdiiz: Compiz is a compositing window manager for the X window system.
hi
hi
GraemeLion: Chromium is Chrome
hey, how can i run both unity and xfce on different tty? i want to run two users with x...
Without Flash and some other patented stuff
compiz..I've never cin it be4 in the menu?
LordThumper: Eh.  In the past, in Ubuntu, Chromium was not maintained or followed well
I'm asking if the releases will be maintained better in the future, before I switch to it
riqdiiz: It isn't in the menu, it is embedded in the source code of the Linux operating system.
morethananoise: you can switch users as they choose the session at login
philinux: i know, but i want run them on different tty..
does mean u reach it through term?
morethananoise: no idea then as the default session is set a login
philinux: there is such a problem, when i run lightdm on tty1, it starts on tty7, i need it to run on tty1..
morethananoise: tty 7 is the x session the others are not
riqdiiz: No, you don't reach it through your terminal, some distros reach it through their settings menu, if at all applicable. Otherwise, if something happens to your compiz settings, the easiest way to fix it is to create a new user.
Like, for example, Chromium's version in Quantal is 22.0.1229.94.. that's a whole release behind Chrome.
morethananoise  what you want cannot be done
are there any regex experts about? I want to delete multiple lines from a file that starts with ^submenu(.*)$ then various lines, then ends with ^\}$ but it must be non-greedy with the end, any ideas?
MonkeyDust: okay, well.. thanks..
Hi i've problem with Ubuntu. Whem im playing for 15 min i've frezzed screen and after 1-3 sec somethinglike Logout... and im must login again.
GraemeLion: Ye you are right
Any reason you are avoiding Chrome?
LordThumper: Well, Chrome is fine.  But Chrome doesn't support the new Unity WebApps
I see
So I'm weighing between losing a major Quantal feature, or losing a secure and up to date web browser
I don't think it is worth it to build the browser yourself
Hello, I am having an issue with WICD freezing my machine, I found a work around but i need to disable it from trying to run at startup. Can anyone tell me how to edit the startup configuration or where it is located? im running backtrack 5
Okay.
what package should i install to uncompress .7z files ?
ping
somebody ?
Yes
what package should i install to uncompress .7z files ?
7z?
yep
brun0: p7zip-full
Do you have an application called Archive Manager?
morethananoise: but you can do it via switch users
brun0: That is what I use to unzip those types of files.
kamidi, thanks
what command might i type to uncompress the file after install the package ?
My firefox browser takes inifinte time to receive add-onns.What to do?
kamidi, what command might i type to uncompress the file after install the package ?
brun0: archive manager supports 7zip after you've installed p7zip-full
brun0: 7z e foo.7z
does anybody know of a way to make apt prefer a locally installed package rather than a package with the same version number from the repository?

sudo iwconfig wlan0 power off <-- why do I have to type that on a terminal EVERY time I want to use this laptop on battery power? Ubuntu 12.04 running 3.2.0-30-generic-pae kernel
does Ubuntu 12 cd come with sound drivers?
riqdiiz: yes
Elesa, try creating /etc/pm/power.d/wireless just an empty file
coz with ver 9.04 which I use now you have to struggle to the repos and down them llutz .
okie :D
thanks scarleo
riqdiiz: you might specify _what drivers exactly_ you need, ubuntu comes with drivers (but not all)
it worked :D
FINALLY!
thank you so much!
:D
llutz and I've never bin successful since 2010 :-(
I wonder why there is not a GUI setting to turn power management off
or why that file is not there by default
Elesa, because it's so easy to do without gui ;)
different for different cards, guess you have broadcom?
I think
I was curious if I could get a hand..  Running Ubuntu 11.4. Everything ran fine, but I spilled a drink on my laptop last night and yanked the battery to keep anything from shorting.  When I rebooted, I can only boot in recovery console, then it boots to X fine, but the screen res maxes out at 1024 x 768 and will not let me get to native resolution.  Any suggestions?
Elesa:  did u have to type that in then use battery then restore wireless?
what does this do?http://paste.ubuntu.com
no, like, when I disconnected the laptop from the charger Wi-Fi was EXTREMELY slow
only after typing that to turn power management off it would run fine again
elesa oh pain indeed
how do i deactivate the enters-quits display from pidgin
pardon my english
riqdiiz: its for pasting up any text instead of flooding this chat room
yes :c
Magellanicus: in the plugins/settings i belive
Elesa: the WiFi slowdown is probably power management reducing 'txpower' when on battery.
why gray screen on VNC (connecting to ubuntu from ARM) :[................
yello:  vnc server may not be running a full desktop. or it may be its trying to use unity3d and failing
yes, and it's really annoying.. I guess that's a bug
oh, i had Lubuntu but i installed gnome, its not k? :{
Magellanicus, creo que el plugin que buscas se llama IRC Helper
riqdiiz: the paste server allows you to put long text on a temporary place to send to other people
even code?...Philinux
i install ubuntu,lubuntu,kubuntu.. vnc can be set to run different desktops
riqdiiz: indeed
Elesa: for the screen resolution issue try using 'xrandr' to see what kind of resolutions it finds
riqdiiz, yeah, and it even highlights syntax xD
so how i fix it?
for vnc its often best to use just a window2 manager, not a full desktop
apt-get .. ?
how
ty
yello:  what vnc server are you using?
vnc4server
Walex, I think you mean seasharp, not me, but thanks for the tip anyway, I've had those problems on other machines :c
thank you Walex  :)  Let me check now
ah yes <seasharp>
check the .vnc directory and configure vnc to run what desktop you want. you may want to set it to use openbox and open a terminal by default
Walex: i dont see this slow down but then again its an intel wireless n
it depends a lot on power saving configuration and how advanced the chipset driver is.
what should i change in xstartup ?
whether it is automatic or not.
Walex, it only shows 800x600, 1024x768 ...  xrandr: failed to get size of gamma for output default
i dont know the commands..
and i dont want openbox, i want current:{ possible?
should I file a bug or something?
seasharp: sometimes it works to switch to a console and back so the X server sometimes rereads the list of resolutions from the screen.
yello start a terminal, and a minimal window manager. 2 lines like 'xterm &'  and 'exec openbox'  then kill any running vnc sessions and restart them
it happened in Natty too
yello start small, work your way up
Gotcha Walex, I will see what I can get done here.  Thanks!
okok, so i add those 2 lines in terminal or in xstartup?
This channel seems to be quite lively this morning.
seasharp: otherwise you can add the missing resolutions with the '--newmode' and '--addmode' options to 'xrandr'.
the xstartup file defines what desktop the vncserver starts...
http://superuser.com/questions/502766/ubuntu-12-10-amd64-and-google-hangout-talkplugin I'd be thankful if someone would be inclined to help me track down the problem.
yes? hehe:[
seasharp: there are several 'xrandr' GUI frontends, can't remember which ones allow adding modes dynamically
hello, I tried to install ubuntu 12.04 lts, but the installer boot menu wont even run correctly, it freezes
use your brains..  they go in the xstartup file like ive been saying..  i dont know what yoy mean by 'in terminal'
I will do some searching..  This is my first Linux install with X; usually just had Slackware boxes in the past
what do I need to do?
i tried exec openbox in terminal.. i did not understand your message:[ but ok, xstartp, sec...
Hello! I have a question regarding NFS (Network File System). Right now, if I copy anything from or to server, the process takes ALL network bandwidth and blocks even directly listing on any filemanager and any other machines. What is a way to implement Quality of Service for NFS, or simply to prevent single NFS operation from blocking others. This is not happening with Samba.
did you reasart the vnc servers?
restart
ashel, i would put limits in iptables im sure it can restrict bandwith by port
oh
no..
xstartup is ran then the vncserver starts up...
okokok sec...
kill the existing vncserver with the vncserver -kill option (i think) befor restarting it. or you can have several vnc sessions going
ashel: interesting question...
escott: is every operation using different ports? I am curious, because I never saw anything like the problem I have when googling. Right now, for example, if I copy anything, all filemanagers, including MC are grayed out/blocked completely.
wait a sec, if i can do & xterm, cant i do & wine Tibia.exe ? its all i need:]
after the copying operation is done, they all become unblocked.
Hi. Troubles logging in -> log in, X quits, return to GDM. LightDM doesn't start at all, I presume it's an issue getting information from my profile
ashel: most likely that has nothing to do with NFS or networking. Odds are that you have the wrong flusher and/or elevator parameters on the filetree.
Which logs should I look at?
ashel, you must be doing a syncronous write
ashel: http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/818261 for similar cases
Hi Guys! I have been effected by the bug in 12.04, because DVD is not automounted. Does somebody know a workaround? (It is definetly not a hardware error. It is tested.)
I relaly need help
Walex: could you suggest the parameters? I use "-o defaults,soft,fg" on client side.
xterm works..
Walex: I will try the async option, thank you for this!
ashel: <escott> pointed out an interesting detail: by default NFS does sync writes, for safety, and if you don't configure the filesystem and storage layer right you get high latency.
ashel: however the 'async' option is very dangerous indeed.
ashel: you should use it only if you understand it very well, and you know you don't mind the side effects.
yello: so it seems to be working. tweak it az you need
Walex: But why is Samba not having this problem? Many clients can easily access the filetree and perform operations without being blocked.
thanks, if i dont get it working I BE BACK... :[
ashel: that's another interesting question. My guess is that either file accesses with Samba are not happening as fast as NFS can do them, or Samba is configured for async writing.
anyone having skype login problems?
Walex: Async may mean that I loose packets if bad connections or buffer overflows happen, and thus loose data or leave filesystem damaged if the target machine is abruptlly powered down.
hi
for some reason my skype login on ubuntu does not work but works in windows
Walex: Thank you, I will invistigate. ;)
Hey i've installed steam on ubuntu, but when i type steam in terminal i get this msg: Installing breakpad exception handler for appid(steam)/version(1352224866_client)
that is works in vmware guest xp but does not work on ubuntu...
ashel: mostly the loss in case of power loss or system crash.
ashel: probably you like everybody else should switch to have around 100MB as the value of 'vm.dirty_ratio_bytes' and to 'deadline' as the disk elevator.
where 100MB really is "about 1 second of storage layer bandwidth".
ashel, Walex, reading through the NFS docs... i wouldn't recommend setting async on the server... this seems more like a client issue. the client should be doing async actions, but is evidently doing sync actions (so the write has to finish before the reads can be queued. there is a server async option but that just means that in the presence of a sync request from the client the server out and out lies to the client claiming its done
when it isnt
https://www.facebook.com/NeoSpace.San.Jose
check it guys
does anyone have quantal running on amd64 and can videochat on google hangout?
what?
escott: right, the server async option should almost never be enabled, the client one might be enabled, if one knows the applications issue 'fsync' at the right times.

I got an issue trying to customize a live-cd, I solved it and I don't know where to report it
hello, is there any way to select just all the text in a opt presentation on oppenoffice impress? thanks
OpenOffice..? I thought it was called LibreOffice now
you mean all the text on the whole presentation?
When I installed "virtual box guest additions" the user created by guest additions uses the UID 999, which breaks casper boot as it tries to create a user with uid 999
Elesa, there are two projects. Libre is GPL, Open is Apache.
but they are the same, right?
or is one better than the other?
The thing is, the chosen "uid" is not dynamic, and the documentation on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomization
says "After customization make sure that there are no users with an UID >  999. Otherwise your image won't boot because no initial user is  available (see  /usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/casper-bottom/10adduser)."
Elesa, they are different. its a license fork and code can't go between the two. some of the big corporate interests (ie Oracle) are behind Open, but much of the community is behind Libre. Libre is shipped with ubuntu-desktop

Hi Guys! I have been effected by the bug in 12.04, because DVD is not automounted. Does somebody know a workaround? (It is definetly not a hardware error. It is tested.)
I can't install ubuntu, I need help
tada: specifically?
SnowmanX11: I also have an issue with 12.04, the install boot menu is freezing up
I see the install boot menu screen but I can't choose anything, and I dont know why
sometimes I hear a loud peep by trying it again
tada: did you try the compatibility of hw through livecd?
tada
compaibility of hw? What's hw?
?
SnowmanX11, what is the output of "groups"
tada: many people have problem with video card driver vs new xorg
I had ubuntu 10.x before
escott: snowmanx11 adm cdrom sudo dip plugdev lpadmin sambashare
tada
tada: try 12.04 first
ubuntu said my old 10.x release wont be supported anymore, that's why I tried to install 12.04 lts
but I did Snow
tada: this an LTS and have lots of support
I tried, it freezes up
tada: ok, I tought that was 12.10
SnowmanX11, that looks fine. when you put the DVD in what is the output of "mount"
zykotick9, sorry, but i think i found the problem. I installed again ubuntu 11.04 because 12.04 or 12.10 didn't match with my computer. Then i think i did a mistake with the partition, i've got only 8GB instead of 80... Thank you! (Sorry for my english,i'm french :D)
tada: try live cd and test hardware
yo:{ , i cannot start in xstartup vnc file lxterminal with exec openbox & lxterminal.. and i cannot do wine Tibia.exe.. what should i do :[
escott: nothing regarding to cdrom
all gray still..
SnowmanX11: this is a netbook and it does not have a cd-drive, I have to do this by usb
yello: exec whatever    should be the last line....
escott: if I use k3b than everything is correctly mounted and able to eject
esco
SnowmanX11, does udisks --mount /dev/sr0 mount the dvd
yello other    commands &       go befor it.
right now I'm formatting my usb stick again, maybe it's an issue with my usb stick
http://www.ubuntu.com
escott: sometimes the mount work and dvd starts, but it is very rare
tada: usb is just fine to try "livecd"
Walex, escott: Thank you very much. I have ressolved the case fairly quick now, after you indicated that its client mount issue. This is not kernel issue, because SMB performs good. The true reason is the client mount options. First "-o defaults" does not work or is ignored by the system. Second, lowering write speed and highering read speed remove the blockade "wsize=8192,rsize=16384" - the write speed for 1Gbit link to server is still in
100MiB range, but there is no blockade anymore. But adding option "nolock" futher improved responsibility, so that the final mount options are "-o rw,soft,nolock,wsize=8192,rsize=16384" and they work VERY well - 30 parallel transfers of large file quantities in both directions and I can view a video at same time directly from server. Thank you!!
okay
nothing runs after the exec....
escott: Mount failed: Error mounting: mount: no medium found on /dev/sr0
escott: this is what I get usually
SnowmanX11, try /dev/dvd not sure what the device is
I don't have now any(big) problem with 12.10 on XPS 12.10... I am really happy that my computer is not freezing after 24 hours
ashel: that is not the write/read speed, but the read/write transaction size. If a larger one was causing problems then you probably have a network packet loss issue that was causing reassembly.
escott: same with dvd cdrom etc...
escott: it is a known bug in 12.04
Hi, when i go to extract, in a zip, a dir with a name that contains oriental chars, I get this error: caution: filename not matched:  D\-\?\?\?\?\?\?\?\?\?\?\?\?\?\?\?\?/DSCF8351.JPG
SnowmanX11, ok. then follow the bug report i guess
escott: I had a well working 12.04. I have upgraded to 12.10 but it failed due to ATI vs new Xorg issue. Downgraded to 12.04 have this bug
escott: bug reports are not guiding
ok, so back to my question about nodes and links
I have this: http://pastebin.com/tBMBpWBV
oh, crap wrong window
sorry
under: most likely a character set mismatch. GNU/Linux distributions use UTF-8, many east asian countries use local characters sets/encodings.
Walex: ok, so?
under: you have to figure out which character set used to encode file paths in the ZIP, and then convert them to UTF-8.
yoyo, i got terminal working in openbox.. but i cannot start wine game, why?
Walex: omg, in windows and with winrar I dont have such as this issues.
I decided to give fedora a try
ok, now it says "video allocation failed" :[
I created a new wireless connection in the network manager but there doesn't seem to be a way to connect to it.  how do i select it for connection?
tada hows that going?
under, you might also try enabling codepages in your locale if they are not enabled
under: alternatively switch temporarily the locale to the same character set as the ZIP file, and then use 'convmv' to convert the filenames to UTF-8.
escott: any other idea?
BrianBlaze: I tried to install ubuntu 12.04 but the install boot menu freezes up, people suggest to try a live-cd, but how can I try this when I still can't access the install boot menu?
you hit f12 (or whatever to change the boot order)with a boot cd in the drive
I keep telling, I see the ubuntu install boot screen
but it freezes up
I hit f12, I choose usb-fdd, I see the ubuntu install boot screen, and that's it
does anyone know how to connect to a custom wireless connection (edit connections ... wireless ... add+ ...)?  It's not showing up in the connection list.
but it freezes...
I would make the usb again
see if that fixes it
sarutahiko, you mean your router is configured not to broadcast?
ey, how do i start x window manager in VNC (terminal) without making other screen change? if i write startx, the other screen logs into x window manager.
I tried to make the usb again, same results
I have made bootable usb's that didn't work and I end up making them again and then they do
plz
damn..
yeah
one said it's because of the new x server
escott: it is. but there are a bunch of different access points and I need to make a custom connection to select the strongest BSSID since my wireless card jumps around and can't maintain a connection.
if this is the case, I can't use ubuntu anyhow anymore
any 1know ?
is it a 64 bit on a 32 bit computer?
32 bit
sarutahiko, you can do it with iwconfig and wpa_supplicant... not sure how to restrict things with network manager though
byeeeeeeeeeeeee thanks for not replying :[
escott: In the edit or make new connection window there is a space for BSSID.  So I put in the BSSID I wanted but now I can't select the connectinon that I made.  If you can add connectinons shouldn't there be a way to select them?
the idea behind this is, if I get the same issue with fedora or other distries, then it's probably because the usb stick is broken or a part of my hardware
is this new ubuntu the fastest one? is it true?
n-iCe, it's also the newest
n-iCe: always depends always on your hardware
tada check  your hd terminals if intact  boot order to fdd &reboot
riqdiiz: ok
if it doesn't then it has to be the 64  ,32 bit mentioned above.
Hi can someone tell me how to properly use gparted. I searchgoogle and found no good way to use it.
riqdiiz: what do you mean with 32/64?
I'm pretty sure it's a 32bit system
How i can install "wobbly windows" on 12.04.1 Ubuntu. I installed compiz-config-manager but it doesn't work? :/
i"m trying to reformat a HDD and need help on how to use gparted?
you are installing 32 bit  64bit os / hw mismatch
A 1 tetrabyte Drive:-D
CarterMcArthur, have you booted from gparted, or are you just running it in ubuntu?
riqdiiz: freezes up again, tried to change the boot order, usb-fdd is now first
booted from gpatred
so whats the problem?
hello
I,m trying to format the drive but can't find the right directions!!!
I have a raid5 linuxraid setup and I believe a drive is dying. Can anyone point me in the right direction for looking deeper into the cause of what's going on?
CarterMcArthur, do you know what you want the partition layout to be?
ext4
select the drive from the pull down list, select the existing partition if any, and delete. add a new partition
The system sometimes hangs at boot, and last night one of the member drives fell out of sync (but has since rebuilt and everything looks normal)
hilo, check the smart status in the disk utils or smartctl
then click the green checkmark to apply
CarterMcArthur, thats a partition format, not a partition layout. partitioning splits the large disk into parts for different purposes. formatting prepares those parts for storing data
escott, How can I do that from cli?
partiton layout to use the full drive.
CarterMcArthur, is that not what you want?
I guess I can use ntfs for using windows?
escott, thanks
Running 12.04 64bit, trying to increase the speed of my mouse's scroll wheel. Was able to do this in Firefox but looking for a way to do the same on a whole system level. Main painpoint is annoyingly slow scrolling in the text editor Sublime Text 2. Anyone had a similar problem?
Well I guess.just need the right instructions to get it done or shall I say simple instructionsO:-).
hilo, and then you need smartctl --all /dev/sdX
Is anybody aware of any issues installing Ubuntu Server 12.04 on the new Sandy Bridge-EP processors?
I have a problem where I can view a file on my debian server, but when I mount my smb share to my ubuntu laptop it cant access it. Any ideas on how to troubleshoot this?
CarterMcArthur, hard to give instructions when we dont know what you want to do. sounds like you want two partitions
CarterMcArthur, but you click on the gray unallocated part of the disk, and create a new partition and select a filesystem type to put in that partition
yes half for ubuntu 11.04 and windows7.

Shinobi, who owns the file and what permissions is the samba server running with
If I have 16GB RAM, what size swap space should I use? Would 2GB be sufficient?
escott, Okay, I did that, alot of stuff output but I am not really sure how to read it. Are there any signs to look for specifically? It passed the overall health self assessment.
xbskid: if you don't plan to use hibernation, yes
llutz: Thank you
hilo, you could paste it to us if you want an interpretation. paste.ubuntu.com
escort how do you get to the pasted info on that  paste. Ubuntu.com?
riqdiiz, after submission paste the generated url here
escott, http://paste.ubuntu.com/1343063/ Output from smartctl -all
hilo, looks good
can I somehow dismiss "the computer needs to restart to finish installing updates" dialog?
delac: Right-click the icon on the left-hand side and close it from there.
I thought these kind of things were thing of the past with XP...
jpds: no icon
jpds: and the close option is greyed out
escott, I'm not sure what is causing the drive to fall out of sync. If I switch the ports which member drives are connected to, will the linuxraid have any issues assembling it? I am thinking I can switch the location with another member drive to test that port.
delac, it only tells you that when a new kernel is installed or some other major system software changes (like libc)
delac: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/update-manager/+bug/1033226
delac,  check dconf-editor
it has to be passed that way
hilo, the ports should not matter... the device will change its address sdh to sde for example, but everything is accessed by UUID
I will look delac
i ask again :P. How i can install "wobbly windows" on 12.04.1 Ubuntu. I installed compiz-config-manager but it doesn't work? :/
jpds: too bad I'm using gnome desktop...
escott: not sure. I'll check, it's funny it's only 1 file...
jpds: well, luckily xkill is still installed :)
tsaknorris, in what way does it not work
tsaknorris: depending on which desktop environment you use you just enable special effects...
tsaknorris: or you replace the current window manager with 'compiz'.
escott, lightdm (everything is default)
tsaknorris: the LightDM window manager whatever that is may now support special effects.
if i can get wobbly windows some other way i can remove compiz-config-manager
tsaknorris, um....
escott: I'm the owner of the file.  I don't think the smb server user is a problem as all the other files have the same owner/group and has never been a problem
tsaknorris: also, it is sort of inconsistent to use LightDM and then enabled heavy-duty special effects...
escott, thanks, I will try that to rule out the port/enclosure causing the issue.
how would I set env variables per user on login, like PATH?
ubottu, im enabling it and nothing happens
anykey, those are usually set in .bashrc
tsaknorris, are you running compiz?
escott: I log in graphically, and want the vars known on desktop
anykey, thats different... not sure how that works
bobweaver: did you manage to find anything in the dconf?
escott: well then thanks anyway
still looking and chatting on other channels also delac
escott i just installed that compiz-config-manager package and im running lightdm. like i said everything is default. 1 hour ago i installed that package
I am betting that you can disable the thing all-together  but where is dbus for that I have no clue
tsaknorris, you aren't running lightdm. lightdm is the display manager. are you selecting unity or unity-2d at the login. in the process manager is the "compiz" process running?
escott: superuser has a posting suggesting ~/.profile. I will try that.
escott, nope no compiz process
anykey, i dont think that would work either. you could try it... but i dont think any of those get parsed
tsaknorris, so if compiz isn't running (ie you are using metacity as your window manager) then compiz settings arent going to matter.
tsaknorris, you need to (a) figure out what kind of graphics card you have (b) install the drivers for the graphics card (c) logout and select the unity-3d session which is just called "unity"
escott, ok i will restart X... maybe that helps. compiz is installed tho. so i have to enabled it then first.
escott: it does work.
just tried.
anykey, how did you test that?
I logged out and in again
anykey, yes, but how did you examine the environment from the gui
ah. I hit alt+f2 and my PATH is available from appfinder now.
escott, "compiz --replace" <-- that maybe helps :)
and it wasn't before.
my PATH contains scripts in ~/bin and ~/.screenlayout
anykey, ok cool. never knew those were parsed
so if those only work from terminal, I am a bit upset. I want these to work from Alt+F2.
delac,  http://imagebin.org/235155
escott: I have joined the Ubuntu crowd *today* so I have learn many new things.
s/have/have to/
almost everything works. Just google hangout is left, and I get absolutely nothing on that. It seems that not even audio works.
anykey: audio is a difficult topic because there are very many variants of very many audio chipsets, so drivers have to match exactly the right variant.
anykey: often the best way to solve audio issue is to get a USB "soundcard".
yeah
oh all the rest of the audio works. Ask my neighbors if they can hear my music.
Intel chipsets are *awful* in Linux
no the problem is solely with google-talkplugin
no two implementations of the Intel HDA chipset are wired up the same
even skype works
i'm having issues with a nvidia video card, is there a way for me to use some standard setting instead/ for now i don't care about the best video performance
anything that give me a login window will be fine, any params to set on grub?
how does vnc work.. if i startx on client it starts on server.. if i do in vnc server settings "exec startx" or "startx" only gray window.. :[
anykey: skype works? my skype couldnt log in for 2 hours :D
I am on skype right now
i was on then i plugged my webcam in
what does linux_gfx_mode = text mean?
same here
bobweaver: thanks, but that description is very odd. what are these notification hooks and media detected things?
closed it restarted and now it does not accept my login anymore, even though works in vmware xp :(
xxiao, that is for the early boot.
delac,  Do you know what dconf-editor purpose is ?
bobweaver: yes?
PLZ.
delac,  so it controls how dbus is running right ?  the settings for the services that it is running on.
escott: i'm booting over usb-stick, trying to change grub.cfg in hard-drive to bypass the video card setting
bobweaver: or did you mean that hide-reboot-notification option?
but I figure if skype works with both voice and cam, the problem is solely on the GTalk side...
escott: say, to set it a sub-optimal mode and see if it boots
ubottu: thank you bot, i tried nomodeset already
Oh I see what you are saying and yeah I could have been more to the point but like I said I am chatting it up on other channels and should have been more clear. I am sorry that I did not take the time to write it all out just busy packaging things and trying to get thing into debian so it can make way to Ubuntu
delac,
^^^^
bobweaver: ok, thanks. I try these out and see what they do
xxiao, not sure why with nomodeset you would need to change the text mode
delac,  you can just make it so it never shows up ?
bobweaver: well I think that no-show-notifications does just that. I hope.
delac,  there is one way to find out :)
other way would be to google it or ask about dbus setting here trism  is real good at that
bobweaver: sory, wrong one. I hope it's the hide-reboot-notification.
..

delac,  sounds about right but I would do more research

I did a reboot -n on ubuntu 11.04 server this morning and now I get "ALERT! /dev/mapper/MachineName-root does not exist" and a busybox, initramfs prompt.  Raid array, which checks out at boot.  Nothing strange has happened (i applied not updates or installs) and the system had already rebooted twice today.  Can someone point me to what is going on?  No encrypted drives  or directories.  and ls /dev/mapper/ shows a link to ../dm-0 whi
hello
someone know a chanel of ubuntu in spanish
NotLarry  better ask in #ubuntu-server
a_  #ubuntu-es
thakyou monkeydust
k, thanks
NotLarry, it cannot find the LVM root
escott.  Cool, that is info i can use.
hello ppl.. how do i install kernel source? nvidia driver wont install without that
NotLarry, you might verify that the LVM module is loaded/available in the initramfs. try booting the old kernel to see if that works. if it does then i would bet its because the module needs to be added to the initramfs
I'm lost in intramfs
Hallo hallo.
How do i automatically mount sshfs at log in?
NotLarry, update-initramfs reads stuff from /etc including /etc/modules and creates an initial read-only system to put in /boot so that the system can start prior to the / drive being available
nishttal2: just need the headers, sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r);
trism.. thanks a lot.. that worked
New Humble Indie Bundle. :-)
exiff, put the mount command in your gnome-session-properties would be my suggestion
ok i just installed backtrack 5r3 gnome and Im having problem finding my graphics driver I have a at hd 7770  and I'm running 64bit
Where are the gnome-session properties?
exiff, its a program "gnome-session-properties"
any help greatly appreciated
escott, the sshfs needs a password though, how do i give it?
exiff, you should use auth keys
exiff, ssh-keygen; ssh-copy-id username@remote
root_: first, backtrack is not supported here. try the backtrack support. then irc as root is not a good idea. dont run every program as root. use a user
escott,it's asking me to enter a file in which to save the key
everyt ime I click on additional drivers it reply's no proprietary drivers are in use on this system????
exiff, just press enter
escott, it's finished doing its thing.. what happens now?
exiff, ssh-copy-id username@remote
exiff, then verify it works by running "ssh username@remote"
AH!  :D
Will i need to enter the passphrase for the key everytime though escott?
exiff, a few other nice options to consider adding to your ~/.ssh/config are ControlMaster auto, ControlPath/ControlPersist and Compression yes
nope, once you copy your rsa key over, it should log you in automatically
exiff, if you password protected the key then yes you would have to enter the password to unwrap the key
in your usage i would no bother to password protect the key
If i want to remove password protection?
exiff, just create a new key with ssh-keygen
escott: is there something like telinit 2 under ubuntu that gives me a text mode ubuntu?
i don't care about the GUI for now
xxiao, you can just set "text" in the boot line
I can't find the source package for kernel-image-3.5.0-17-generic, what am I missing?
Will do that... \o thank you and \o/ thank you escott.
er, linux-image
I'll go look into the other options now..  thanks again
oh nvm..
What download manager i can use in text mode ?
xxiao: you could sudo service gdm stop
There a possibility of install JDownloader in ubuntu-server ?
the sound does not work on an acer emachines e644, it seems that it has 2 sound devices, one for hdmi, one for speakers
ix_, thats normal
ok, escott, but sound does not come out
ix_, the having two devices that is
ix_, you need to tell us a bit more about sound not working
hello
hi
how are u?
escott, one is radeon hd 6250, I've put in grub radeon.audio=1 but no chnge
bye
ix_, well what are you trying to output the sound to
escott, to the integrated speakers, I have not tried the headphone jack
ix_, and what is selected in the sound settings device section
escott: adding text helped, thanks!
escott, in alsamixer?
ix_, no the pulseaudio gui
escott, it's lubuntu 12.10
ix_, well i dont know how you do anything with that
escott, I'll install it, then
hey does anyone know anything about finite state machines
does anyone know any good RDP servers that support sending the sound to the remote client?
escott, I've installed pulse audio, what now
Or it could be another protocol, but RDP is the only one I know that has some sound support mechanism built in.
ix_: are you just wanting to crank the volume?
ActionParsnip, the sound does not work
ix_, if you just installed pulse then i have no idea what your sound server was so....
escott, alsa ws the sound server
was
ix_: what is the output of:  wget -O alsa-info.sh http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh && chmod +x ./alsa-info.sh && ./alsa-info.sh --upload
escott: is is the right syntax to limit my memory to 2G under grub: mem=2G ?
xxiao, i have no idea what that kernel parameter would do

hy guys, hope someone can help me with my problem (first, my english is not the best, cause I'm from germany). Here is my prob: I've got one Hard Disk with 3 Partitions. On 2 of them are Windows-OS installed. When I try to install ubuntu on the third, ubuntu said "there no other Operating systems. Delete the whole Disk?"
ix_: are you using HDMI or regularspeakers?
ActionParsnip, regular speakers
Surras, is that third partition "unallocated"?
ActionParsnip, I've put radeon.audio=1 to grub.cfg
hi folks, what should you pay attention to when buying a new laptop on which you want to run ubuntu?
Surras, sounds like a gpt/msdos issue. can you please run "sudo parted -l"
ix_: have you tried running:  alsamixer    and ensuring the channels are all cranked and unmuted?
ActionParsnip, yes
ix_: if you also press F6, is the right output device selected?
Anyone got into steam beta?
ActionParsnip, no
thelinux: I've ran it but the games don't seem to install
the clou is, if I run the life-session of ubuntu, i can mount all partitions (incl. the ntfs from windows)
ix_: then change it then check levels again
ActionParsnip, it shows ati r6xx by default
ActionParsnip, how do I change it?
ActionParsnip, I've pressed enter, maxed everything
hi
ActionParsnip: I have run it to with method from reddit and omgubuntu, but there aren't any games.
ActionParsnip, the ati r6xx has no settings except s/pdif
thelinux: make sure you filter for Linux only games
siema ;d
"parted -l" means, there are GPT-Signatures, but no valid MSDOS-Partitiontable
ActionParsnip, it now works, for whatever reason
...
ActionParsnip, thank you
ix_: try playing a long piece of sound, jam the speakers into each audio hole, see if it comes to life. Ensure speakers are on and cranked
ix_: np dude, no need to mess
ix_: you had the wrong output device selected :)
is there an ubuntu+1 channel any more?
I need to know about memory compatibility. If I stick a 4200 into a 3200, what happens?
Surras, so we have some kind of gpt/msdos issue. i prefer "gdisk" which is in the "universe" (so you have to enable that) and then you can use sudo gdisk /dev/sdX. it will allow you to print the msdos table and the gpt table independently and delete or correct the bad table
jonathonf: yes, it supports raring
litropy, i think it just runs slower
hi, there....what is the name of the desktop effect which shows all open windows of a desktop (CTRL
litropy, you arent providing much info, but it often works to use faster ram in a slower slot
escott, that would be amazing.
litropy: it runs at the slower speed. Ask in ##hardware
ActionParsnip: thanks. where is it? i just tried #ubuntu+1 ?
jonathonf: (18:52:43) The topic for #ubuntu+1 is: Welcome to #ubuntu+1, the channel for discussion of pre-release versions of Ubuntu.

i executed a script in my Downloads folder to install EPDfree http://bit.ly/SPqrVK but I decided I'd rather have it in my home folder so I moved it.  However, when I attempted to install pandas (library) it's still looking for the directory in the Downloads folder
Do I need to uninstall and then re-install?  Or is there an easier solution?
gordonjcp: i have problems with backbox and backtrack too :( you can help me ?
I am upgrading from 12.04 to 12.10 over ssh... nothing can go wrong right... lol
ActionParsnip: no, but i have problems with other linux distributives
Cache_Money, thats generally now how we would install programs. but check your environment and your ~/.bashrc to see if it references the Downloads folder
woch: you can get an EFI booter that goes on the memory stick, and then you drop the ISO on
I've done this but I can't remember how
gordonjcp: ee? what memory stick ?
woch: the USB memory thing
woch: whatever it is in English
escott: I set the path to point to the folder in the home folder.  Here's the error: "bash: /home/mas/epd_free-7.3-2-rh5-x86/bin/easy_install: /home/mas/Downloads/epd_free-7.3-2-rh5-x86/bin/python: bad interpreter: No such file or directory"
Can gedit format the code?
gordonjcp: some syslinux mbi.bin ?

ActionParsnip: You can use: "steam -dev steam://install/440" To download Team Fortress 2 Beta.
is there way to get outpur of "last" command in reverse order?
Guest339 you would have to rerun it for one
anyone know how i can pull the entire DNS list from a domain?
sorry escott, I didn't understood
Guest339 never you really meant last... LOL
I just want to get the most recent time that a user logged in. I don't want the full log details. Is there any command/tool for this?
does ssh require specific permissions on ~/.ssh/authorized_keys? I can't  seem to be able to use pubkey auth (ubuntu 12.04 LTS server)
Guest339 last -1
Dynetrekk: yes, of course
Dynetrekk, yes 600
oh, thanks escott, Now I understood what you said earlies
my authorized keys is owned by root
thanks for your time
Guest339, yeah "last" is one of those programs that i forget exists
jrib, escott damn. my $HOME is mounted to a cifs share. it won't let me chmod anything...
Dynetrekk: this is /bad/
Dynetrekk, you have a problem. your $HOME is not on a POSIX filesystem. you should probably fix that
When I login, I see a brief purple screen (~0.2 seconds) which says "checking battery state," and then I am returned to the login screen.
jrib: that's what I thought, too. I think I have to talk to the admin guy. not convinced that he's up to nuff
escott, jrib do you have any particular documentation on why this is a singularly bad idea? (I'm convinced, but I need to convince the guy who admins the box)
Dynetrekk, i would think a heavy wrench or maybe an ax would be sufficient documentation... something about how programs on a largely POSIX OS would expect to be able to store user files on a POSIX compliant filesystem
Guest339  dirty workaround: last|grep still
escott: right. now, a good horror story would be more diplomatic, but I think we've got a hammer lying around
I reinstalled the ubuntu-desktop package.
Dynetrekk, the proper way for him to do what he wants to do is have /home/username on / and then symlink /home/username/Documents etc to the CIFS filesystem
Dynetrekk: I suggest you keep your home local but mount the subfolders for your user data to the folders in the local home
Guest339  or simpler: last -1
oftentimes I get a puple screen on boot, which stays there indefinitely.
but it appears to be completely random.
Dynetrekk, so he can mount CIFS on /home/username/.cifs and then symlink ~/Documents->~/.cifs/Documents
gdea73: what video chip do you use?
yes, I think, last -1 is enought
thanks MonkeyDust
Dynetrekk, either that or he needs to setup NFS for $HOME
ActionParsnip: A6-3420M
(Radeon 6520G)
Installed fglrx successfully, but now this is happening.
this was my idea; that we get a symlink/mount point in $HOME that points to our 'windowshome'
Installed Catalyst 10.10 manually from AMD's website.
using cifs on $HOME seems awfully nasty
Dynetrekk: Well, of course -- permissions and stuff, you know
I followed this guide: http://wiki.cchtml.com/
or rather their Quantal guide
gdea73: did you run:  sudo aticonfig --initial
ActionParsnip: yes.
gdea73: if you press CTRL+ALT+F1 and log in there, then restart the lightdm service
Dynetrekk: I would just explain the problem your are facing; he should realize his mistake
ubuntu spells virtualization wrong,  http://www.ubuntu.com/business/server/virtualisation
None of my windows have an X icon in the corner so I can dismiss them - how do I add an X icon?

osmosis: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtualization
gordonjcp: i have tried that you said.. the same shit
i have 2 network cards
theadmin: yes, permissions are also part of the issue why we are not using windows in the first place :P windows just... doesn't handle them
and it always picks eth1 as a route to the internet
as it gets its ip second
i need to use the first
how to set priority?
yeeh: which "action" buttons are put on a window's decorations depends on the window manager and which decoration style it is configured for.
lizardbrain: sudo route add default dev eth0
gdea73: try:   killall -u $USER
theadmin thanks I know I didn't ask but awesome
ActionParsnip: I ran that command in tty2, but still can't login in tty7.
gdea73: I suggest you run:   less /var/log/Xorg.0.log      to see what is going on
I see this: "Failed to load module 'fglrx' (loader failed, 7)"
theadmin can i add that to /etc/rc.local?
lizardbrain: I don't think it should be necessary. But if you need to, sure.
lizardbrain: There's also some routing configuration in NetworkManager but I'm not too into GUI stuff
hey everyone i would need help with kvm. I cannot reach the console of guest from ubuntu server. gives me an error ...escapeing character or sth
any suggestions?
Also, "Screen 0 deleted because of no matching config section."
is there any way to re-enable middle click scrolling?
Where you basically scroll/grab the page by just middle clicking and way you go?
I've asked this here like 5 times on different days and no one has made one single comment about it.  Am I really the only person who misses this?
Chamunks: That's a Windows thing mostly -- Xorg uses the middle button for pasting
Chamunks: I agree, but I don't know of any solution
Chamunks: in firefox?
Chamunks, i thought was always application/toolkit based. you can probably find it in about:config in firefox
theadmin, it was in ubuntu for ever.
Chamunks: Do you miss it from where? I do not remember this feature being ever present in GNU/Linux.
then for some reason its gone.
Chamunks: Uh, no it wasn't...
Chamunks: Not that I remember anyway
I swear it was at one point.
Chamunks: Firefox may have used it in the past, but it was an ugly workaround.
Definetly not anytime after 8.10
even if its not there has to be a better solution for scrolling
Guest339: last|tac
I've got an old Logitech g5 and its a great mouse but the scrolling is terrible and my MX revolution died for no good reason.
Chamunks: If you are talking about Firefox, then it's a simple fix, in about:config set middlemouse.paste to fasle
false*
theadmin, I think that will be the thing I recall.
 /part #ubuntu
I stopped using firefox since then.
whoops
Hi. I have a general question regarding Adobe Air: I know that when the Adobe announced the decision to drop the support for GNU/Linux it was thought that the development of newer versions would be outsourced to Linux community with the help of a porting kit. However, I have not heard anything about active development since then. Have you?
Chamunks: Oh, then I doubt I can help you
theadmin, fair enough I use firefox sometimes when chromium faceplants.
which is often.
thanks genii-around :)
Chamunks: I do not think that Chrome can do that natively, but I bet some mouse gestures extension can.
escott, jrib gdea73 I hope something is possible.
Opera can ;) shift - middle clicl
* click
Chamunks: see escott's about:config idea if you are talking about firefox
fair enough paulsomebody
gde33, ugh opera is far too closed its a great browser but ugh I want / require my adblock.
Chamunks: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/autoscroll/occjjkgifpmdgodlplnacmkejpdionan
Chamunks: And I have no desire for such things, when you can do this and more via keyboard with the help of Vimium extension.
and other extensions Opera is the Blackberry of internet browsers in my mind.
Chamunks: it has an adblock extension, FYI
Chamunks: also, you should contact logitech about your MX revolution.  They have great customer service in my experience (they sent me a brand new mouse when mine died)
and haha I can't stand blackberries, but i love opera
I use opera on my iphone and I love it actually
gdea73, it just took 5 years to get the extension.
opera is a great browser and I do respect its ideas but its just sigh i dunno.
Answer my question about Adobe Air, anyone?
jrib, I know logitech is phenominal and I use them every chance that I get.
I dunno adobe air bbut I like foxit lol
I wanted to ask, where's the drive selection menu went to? Ubiquity now installs to /dev/sda and that's it, unless I use the "custom" option, or am I missing something?
ActionParsnip: any other suggestions?
I've been struggling with fglrx and 12.x for the past two days -_-
gdea73: I think fglrx might be requiring a version of xorg lower than what 12.x uses
jrib, I think mine was already a refurb so I don't think it'll get me anywhere.
gdea73: Knowing ATI, that might very well be true, I had to downgrade Xorg on ArchLinux when I tried fglrx installation
Chamunks: no harm in trying
jrib, true enough. The mx has a great scrollwheel.
theadmin: that's unfortunate.. though I thought Catalyst 12.10 supported the latest X?
I have a full setup for reworking electronics which helps I just dont know where to start.
gdea73: Not too sure
gdea73: Haven't used the thing for a while
theadmin: I see. Well, I know 10.9 requires an older Xorg but apparently/supposedly 12.10 was up to date.
Still not sure why I can't log in at all though.
fglrxinfo returns "Error: unable to open display (null)
"
Does anyone know if Bazaar has it's own channel, or should I just ask here? I already tried dropping a few questions related to it, but all I got in return here was silence
theadmin, use alis to search
bazhang: Good point
whoops sorry adante
Well, found #bazaar. That was simple.
Anyway, I'm off
Thanks bazhang. Night everyone.
does anyone know any good RDP servers that support sending the sound to the remote client? Or it could be another protocol, but RDP is the only one I know that has some sound support mechanism built in.

does ubuntu have ARGB support out  of the box (argb for gtk elements?)
doomlord, true alpha support in X windows requires a compositor which is hardware dependent, but otherwise yes
hi, i'm on 11.10 and forgot to upgrade to 12.04 LTS. now 12.10 is out. can i still make soft upgrade to 12.04 or do i have to make a reinstall?
biopyte: you can only upgrade step by step. so yes no problem
ok, thanks
(only way of overtaking the steps is from LTS to LTS, 10.04 to 12.04 for example)
Hello , i can access internet using a wireless router but if i used wired connection , i can't. where am i going wrong ?
so, i cant upgrade from 11.10 to 12.04, because its too late now?
biopyte, you can
ok, got it
misunderstood k1l
I am having issues with my windows in ubuntu 12.04. Many graphical issues are happening in the gnome 3 environment with openGL and cairo-dock.
kimimben35435435, ask in #freenode
have there been any improveents using flash in firefox. or flash still crashing frequently the browser session?

ert3go, damnit
wonder why this could not be fixed
Can someone guide me how to connect to internet using wired connection ? i can connect wirelessly though ;s

Hello #Ubunutu! Is anyone up for some QnA on high Compiz CPU questions from a noob?
walzo, ask the real question
ubuntu 12.04 desktop, toshiba satellite pro, anyone know how to get a sony dsc-h3 camera recognised and able to be opened up like it used to in 10.4?
Hey. I'd like to remove GMail from the launcher in 12.10, but I can't find a way. Help would be much appreciated!
how does one find out all the users on the system (I'm trying to figure out what user apache 2 is running under)
@bazhang I am using 12.10 and unity without a lot of custom things installed. But it seems that after about an hour, compiz goes to 40% cpu and never gives it up
amoeba: you cannot simple right click and remove? or drag it away from teh launcher?
eventually it overheats my laptop
|MS|DjFlyBy: getent passwd , but ps aux | grep apache   might show you the answer directly.
hi
EEEEEEEEEEE: Please stop that
@bazhang unfortunately, I am unable to form a better question that, what can I do? or how can I troubleshoot?
chovynz: neither, i'm afraid. the right-click context menu gives you the option to 'lock to launcher', but not to remove. dragging doesn't help, it just goes back to the launcher.
amoeba: do you have admin privlieges?
bazhang, (I think I messed up some IRC fu, reposting my question)  I am using 12.10 and unity without a lot of custom things installed. But it seems that after about an hour, compiz goes to 40% cpu and never gives it up. My question is either how do I stop this or how do I troubleshoot?
chovynz: yep
amoeba, its actually a bug, there's a workaround I used a few months ago but can't remember
i have some problem to install my wifi card on my laptop acer travelmate 5760 (bcm43227) i try different driver but still don't work...please help me
Pici: that was perfect. Thanks a bunch
amoeba: does quit work?
walzo, what plugins do you have enabled? try unchecking some and troubleshooting that way. there is also #compiz if you don't get satisfactory answers here
ert3go, what is the output of ifconfig
chovynz: quit removes it from the launcher temporarily (and closes gmail in my browser), but if i log into gmail in my browser, it reappears in the launcher
fuga: Go to software source, additional drivers tab, and ubuntu should detect your card and offer you a download from there.
bazhang, #compiz is a great suggestion! I'm not sure what you mean by plugins.
hilo: i see, thanks
ignorant question:
walzo, in ccsm
ert3go, would also help to see "route" info
does i386 work on i686?
Adie, pardon?
amoeba: interesting. ill do some reading up.
Adie, everything is i686 these days
escott: It should show your IP on LAN network and default gateway IP
bazhang,  Ah, I've not fiddled with it since the fresh install of 12.10. I'll do that
i did it...not working...ubuntu 12.10 detect my card and prupose a driver , i accept and reboot...nothing work
bazhang,  Thanks for the suggestion
chovynz: cool, thanks
Adie, what is called i386 actually could not run on a 386... but people are so used to that as the architecture that they dont want to change the name and confuse people
is there any 4rum for window API ?
escott: like I said, is an ignorant question. I stupidly tried to boot the 64bit iso, and it said an i686 cpuw as detected, so I was coming in here to make sure i386 was what I needed for this computer?
thelinux, huh?
fuga: What's the model of your card?
Adie, yes... you need the i386 if you have a 32bit x86 system
okay, thank you ^_^
escott: You asked what's the output of ifconfig, sorry If I misunderstood you. I guess I should kill myself now.
Adie: "i386" in modern distros really means i686
escott, http://pastie.org/5347496
Adie: you'll find that most modern distros cannot even run on i586
ya
they lack the cmove instruction
I figured I was confused about this in the same was I was confused about AMD64 not actually meaning AMD cpus
lol
ert3go, how about your "route"
broadcom bcm 43227 ...i read many forums and i try to install some other driver since four days (i erase all old driver before)...i'm going crazy^^
i dont get you escott
Has anyone in here been banned from Diablo 3 for playing on linux?
ert3go, its another command to run "route"
Adie, the amd64 is because amd came up with the instruction set modifications that intel then copied
;) Will do. I figured I would ask here because it seems like the problem only affects ubuntu users. Thanks though
fuga: I'll help you, stay on IRC, and when you reply to me type my name and two dots after it, so It will show your reply.
Adie, you are not the first person to be confused by all this
thelinux: ok sorry... i forgot
Guys any information about GnomeBaker on Ubuntu 12.10?! Any way to get it installed?!

Axz: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=12337295
Axz: I hope that links helps you, it shows PPA, how to edit source list for that purpose too.
escott, i was initially connected wirelessly . Now i've connected a cable too
Axz: Let me know if that will work.
ert3go, that all looks good. if you ping 192.168.0.1 does it not go over eth0
escott, when I tried to connect only using cable , i couldn't connect to internet
ert3go, i would ping 192.168.0.1 and see if the tx/rx counters in ifconfig are increasing for eth0
fuga: I think I found what is the problem, remove: linux-backports-modules-cw from synaptic (if you don't have it install it from ubuntu software centre), install driver, than reboot.
how to find if ping is going over eth0 escott ?
thelinux, on it.. thnx
will et you knwo in a sec
ert3go, i would ping 192.168.0.1 and see if the tx/rx counters in ifconfig are increasing for eth0
hi
ert3go, or pint -I eth0 192.168.0.1
thelinux: ok i try and i comeback
ert3go, actually that -I has to be an address so its 192.168.1.101 for you eth0?
i have the problem if i install "Windows installer for Ubuntu Desktop" and i will start it, it freeze
thelinux, works perfect!
yep escott
Axz: Awesome, I'm glad that I could help.
Guys any info when is steam official released for Ubuntu?!
Axz: Before new year.
ert3go, yeah ping -I 192.168.1.101 192.168.0.1 will go out whatever interface it likes but should come back on eth0
also info on game ports?!
thelinux,
Axz: But you can try it even if you're not in beta.
Axz: Left 4 Dead 2, Team Fortress 2, Serious Sam 3...
thelinux, yeah just qwondering about game getting ported
wow
i have the problem if i install "Windows installer for Ubuntu Desktop" and i will start it, it freeze my system: http://www.sysprofile.de/id113268
Left 4 Dead 2 isn't ported yet...
Tealk, wubi... ugggh. many in the channel (myself included) would discourage you from using wubi
It is being ported though
Axz: Left 4 Dead 2,  should be released any time now, Team Fortress 2 Beta is already downloadable on steam right now, Serious Sam 3 port should be soon too, and great thing that Source Engine is ported (almost all) and many games that run on it could be easily ported to linux
and how i should manage it?
i dont think i can waive windows
Tealk, a real install performs better, but you can also use virtualbox if your machine is powerful enough
thelinux, yeah great news...
Axz: And you have really long list of games that run on Source Engine. And now Unity (3d game engine) can compile games for Linux, so for 2012 and 2013 we can expect a lots and lots of great games.
Tealk, with wubi you have to reboot anyways it just takes out the bits where you have to make the install cd, and partition the drive
hmm ok
Axz: now is a good time to be a gamer on Linux
it's not just Quake-derived games any more!
Tealk, what are you computers specs?
http://www.sysprofile.de/id113268
gordonjcp, yeah will miss thise wine tweaking nights :P
those*
Axz: If you applied for beta you should check message on your steam account, cause day will also add more users in next few days, full release should be released before new year.
thelinux: no linux-backports-modules-cw install....i search on software center , four pruposes...witch one to choose? linux-backports-modules-cw-3.6-3.5.0-18-generic or linux-backports-modules-cw-3.6-3.5.0-18-generic:i386 i'm in X64

Hi guys, when I try to install skype tells me that it can not find it. any ideas?
Axz: I won't miss it at all
Axz: do you realise the magnitude of this, though?
Tealk, a zambezi with 8gb of ram could certainly run virtualbox with a basic desktop without much trouble. what are you planning to use ubuntu for?
Axz: Valve have basically said, screw Windows, we're discontinuing support
fuga: Both.
gordonjcp: Yep, great yea for Linux.
first i will try it and if i like it i only use it ;)
gordonjcp, funny seeing people switch to Linux OS soon
i 've using it since 11 years now
escott, if i connect the cable first and then turn on my router , I can't connect to internet
Axz: newb ;-)
Tealk, then download and install virtualbox, then create a virtual machine and you can run ubuntu inside windows like it was an application. once you get ubuntu installed be sure to install the guest-additions
gordonjcp: I still can't believe that Steam and game titles are ported to Linux, and also Unity(3d game engine) it a happened so fast.
ert3go, ok
escott, what you mean with guest-additions?
load the virtualbox "guest additions" iso image and run the appropriate script.
gordonjcp, lol yeah could't leave my Windows 2000 :(
ert3go, not sure how to correct that. either dhclient is not listening when the router gets all the way up and tries to setup the eth0, or the router is not detecting that the cable is plugged in and never makes the offer
lets get back on topic please
thelinux: in progress...if it still d'ont work , possibly for you to come help with some RDP protocol software (like vino or teamviewer)?
^
how to install skype any ideas? (Ubuntu 12.10) package not found :(

and this amoeba, http://www.howtogeek.com/119560/how-to-install-and-use-ubuntus-new-web-apps-feature/
bazhang: Why?
bazhang, its a 18GB file
The first comment might be of help to you amoeba
thelinux, Always go from within Ubuntu repos when possible
tahts why tranfer it to USB flash drive
thelinux, skype is in Ubuntu partner repo
bazhang: That's true.
I'm running Kubuntu 12.04.1. I'm having trouble with the Startup Disk Creator and I'm certain it's a bug, but I just wanted to confirm that I should report this on the Ubuntu launchpad and not the KDE bug tracker.
bazhang: Thanks.
thelinux, so dont recommend outside if inside is possible
xwalk, its not even a kde application so.... it would certainly be launchpad
Axz, that maybe a limitation of your hardware bd drive
Is there a driver for memory card reader?
Axz, perhaps convert with handbrake or the like and try again
bazhang: Yes, but sometimes there are outdated softwares on repos, if we are talking about less mainstream apps.

i've done a wubi install of 12.10 on my Dell Latitude ST.  on boot I get a console flood of bluetooth loading patchfile errors and the device is unresponsive to any input.  any suggestions?
beaky, unity? unity 2d? classic? or what
I'm using the new unity interface
Billy_, that looks alright (except for the typo where it says gid=100 instead of gid=1000). what does ls -l /home/billy/oscar say
beaky, usb is going to be slow, if you mean a usb flash stick
escott: Thanks.
yes, I'm running ubuntu off an 8gb flash stick
thelinux: it take very long time to install...i think it's frozen because de progress bar...d'ont move at all...could you come? how i give you mi IP?

Which is better from the web browsing and security point of view - OpenJDK or Oracle Java?
rih
-rwxr-xr-x 0 billy users 0
all good then I think
Galvatron, open will become the base for oracle java. i would go with open
Billy_, ok.... problem solved?
yes thanks for clarification
Billy_, easiest problems to solve
how do i set a launcher that runs a specific command?
escott: I've been using Oracje for quite some time, because I was told that it's  better when it comes to updates, or so. But I would like to review the state of affairs.
Whats Oracje?
*Oracle
Galvatron, you must watch Fox News or something because thats not what i hear about Oracle
Without a valid support contract, you'll get no updates at all.
Using Ubuntu, you'll always get updates - without paying for them.
question, is there some way to determine with what parameters a module was loaded?
ciao
is there a memory card reader driver for 12.04?
chovynz, mmioblk
chovynz: memory card readers don't need specific drivers
unless there's something deeply weird about them
escott: sudo apt-get install mmioblk?
chovynz, thats the kernel module that usually gets loaded, but its not something you would install
gordonjcp & escott some thing is weird about my mmc reader
in previous version it used to mount and load up like an external drive. in this fresh install it wont
chovynz, check dmesg to see if the device is recognized and also to see if it detects a card insertion
terminal?
Quick question... I'm trying to get lightdm to work on 12.10, I've been using gdm forever... I want to be able to autologin, and launch an .xsession file, which works, but if I send the applications in the xsession, lightdm will not autologin the next time
s/send/end
chovynz, yes "dmesg" is a terminal command to read the kernel ring buffer
chovynz, you might try "dmesg | grep -C5 mmio" as well as inserting the card and running "dmesg | tail -n 20"
chovynz, rather grep mmc on mine
"lol", i pulled it out, then put it back in and it worked... :|
thanks for your help anyway escott
So apparently there is a major screwup in 12.10 regarding the AMD driver. Just updated and got a blank screen for my trouble.
might've been the way i put it in or something
fsck sees error, but apparently cant fix them. e2fsck with -p just halts on first error, unable to continue and asks to run bare fsck. anything to try?
Installed 12.10 fresh and then installed the driver with the same result.
delac, depends on what kind of error
what could be the cause of resolveip <ip address> not resolving to a hostname?
a7i3n: Have you tried Catalyst 12.11?
No, not yet Galvatron...
Getting tired of reinstalling...
CrawfordComeaux, reverse DNS is not available for all domains
how can we know chipset . ram details of our computer?
devish, dmidecode sudo lshw lspci lsusb
for a fully working system would I be better to re-format and install a new Distro if I want a new DE or just download the package in Synaptic?
a7i3n: Maybe let 12.10 mature and for the time being use 12.04. The differences are really minuscule.
Just ment this as a caution to those of you that have an AMD graphics card... there is a problem with the AMD driver and Unity.
nicekiwi: just install the package
nicekiwi, both are fine, I have four currently
I have 12.10 next to my main 12.04 and I also see how buggy it is.
Galvatron, so file bugs
bazhang, true.. :P
Yep. You are Right Galvatron... fortunately I only did this with my laptop. The othermachines are staying on 12.04 until a replacement OS can be worked out...
escott: the disk has bad sectors
Huge difference between 12.10 and 12.04 as far as stability. This is my experience so far and your mileage may vary...
escott: it's worked before, though & it's my server/domain. I think the issue may be that before the zone file propagated, I tried resolving it & the local DNS server is still serving the cached result
delac, then the best thing to do is use "dd" with "noerror" to create an image of the failing disk and then you can attempt recovery of that data
CrawfordComeaux, zone files... you got beyond my knowledge there
how do I know if I want to set up as "use entire disk" or "use entire disk and set up LVM"?
plz compare/contrast the two options as someone who doens't know what LVM means
Is there a reason my taskbars aren't showing on most programs? I am in gnome 3 with openGL...
Adie, depends on if you want LVM... what is your use case and what are you installing onto?
escott: unfortunately the disk is too large to be imaged as one file (cant fit it anywhere). is it possible to try to read intact files and only save them?
does rsync -P not show the progress bar? instead it is just showing a verbose output as it copies each file?
escott: prefereably only from /home
I am installing ubuntu server onto a mac mini as a 24/7 headless services server
rsync --progress
Any suggestion for virtual box ? i prefer low memory consumption with light process ;)
Adie, then LVM is probably unnecessary. LVM abstracts away the whole partitioning thing so you can easily create and remove partitions and resize partitions without worrying about the physical layout of the partitions. probably not needed for a single disk server like that
escott: Adie I agree
okay, think you for your input ^_^
devish: What suggestions? ;) I've been using virtual box, I too use low memory consumption, otherwise my primary OS will run slow since I only have 1 GB RAM
Adie: will your Mac Mini support virtualisation?  How much RAM has it got?
delac, im not sure... ive never actually had to recover files from an ext2 fs
gordonjcp: I think it has 2GB of ram
it's a first generation intel mini
Adie: if you can see if it has vmx, and whack even 3GB in although 2GB would do, you could run virtualised servers on it
Adie: LVM is golden for JBOD (and in some cases RAID, but then I'd just use brtfs) otherwise it's generally not necessary :)
thelinux: not working...
ikonia
Adie: this makes things more complicated, but it does mean that later on if you want to fiddle about with installing random crap onto a server you just roll yourself a clean instance, and nuke it when you're done
thelinux: i framed incorrectly , vmware vs virtual box
fuga_: Don't worry, we will solve it ;) I'll look more into it ;)
gordonjcp: i dunno
devish: Well I think Virtual Box is just fine, vmware costs money, and I don't there are major differences.
how do I switch the keyboard layout on the install media console?
How can I find the disk read/write requests of individual processes? /proc/diskstats gives information for the overall system, but /proc/PID/io gives total number of bytes read/written.
Where are the dhclient3 cli-arguments configured for ifup ?
cihhan: have a  look at iotop
guntbert: let me try now
Qantourisc: you can specify them in /etc/network/interfaces
I noticed that Libusb and libboost are not being used in Ubuntu 64-bit, when to use make command anyway to go around that?
guntbert: it seems that it doesnt show the requests, but it shows the total or per sec
ActionParsnip: you mean dhcp method: hostname, leasehours, leasetime, ... ?
I have ubuntu-arm-server on my embedded board (beagleboard-xm). I would like to do remote-debugging. what package do I need to install on my host machine (ubuntu 12.04) to have the toolchains ? apt-get install build-essential?
Qantourisc: its one way, yes
Is there anyone here that has experience with the newest openSUSE?
ActionParsnip: I don't see any in the wlist that would add the "-w" option of dhclient3
cihhan: so I misunderstood - you might be able to see single requests for *1* process with strace
lonewulf: this is the ubuntu support channel
I've been dumped into a console on the kubuntu active install media
#suse lonewulf
lonewulf: basically what I mean is this is -->ubuntu<-- support :)
how do I get it into X?
burdickjp: run:  startx
guntbert, I realise I only was wondering if I could install the unity iterface in openSUSE or if they are ubuntu only repos?
guntbert: so, there is no way to read it directly from /proc directory?
lonewulf, ask in #suse
bazhang, thanks.
cihhan: you might want to try iotop
cihhan: I never tried, but even then only for just one process
pff I don't feel like installling another distribution...
instaled ubuntu 12.10, tried to update graphic drivers, now  i lost my launch bar and title bars, where can i find help?
hello
I lost my title bars when I installed compiz and xcompmgr, as well as my cairo-dock is blackedout now. Any fixes?
zykotick9: it seems that iotop doesnt show the requests, but it shows the total or per sec
willdabeast: what video chip do you use?
that sucks there are 256 users on #suse and no one is talking
ActionParsnip, nvidia 7 series
willdabeast: what driver does nvidia-settings say you are using?
lonewulf: So out of frustration, you just installed Ubuntu? :)
does anyone have any experience installing netbeans on 12.10?
Any ideas what i should put as my server if I want to Backup my files through SSH to my NAS? I know all the other parts but the server part i have no idea of.
ActionParsnip, can I check from terminal? my dock won't let me access the app menu
willdabeast: apt-cache policy nvidia-current
physically_fit: did you want me ?
saber_-: mount sshfs using nautilus then use the mount point
ikonia, whattup. nothing, when can i talk to you again about our thing?
ActionParsnip: thanks, i'll look into that
ActionParsnip, http://paste.ubuntu.com/1343713/
physically_fit: you're welcome to join #ubuntu-ops and talk to any of the operator team
sab3r: you might want to check-out rsync if you aren't familiar...
ikonia, they don't treat me too weel when i am there, they want me to leave immediately
willdabeast: I sugget you report a bug to the PPA maintainers. You are using a PPA for the driver
well*
ActionParsnip, does it help to say I am in gnome 3 with openGL? and where do I report the bug to them
physically_fit: then sorry, can't do anything about it
ikonia, last time i was there they created a worse image of me
ikonia, you banned me, so you must resolve this
willdabeast: You are using Precise, so it's Gnome3
physically_fit, NOT here
physically_fit: this isn't the channel for this discussion, join #ubuntu-ops and talk to any of the team (as I explained last time, it does not have to be me)
hi pastor bazhang
bekks : Ubuntu is by far my most favorite os I am running it alongside Windows 7 but I have not used Windows 7 in about 6 weeks and when I do it is only because I am playing a game on it.
david__, #ubuntu-es
How do I install ubuntu alongside windows on a hybrid (SSD/HDD) computer (thinkpad t430u)? My concern is that installing ubuntu will interfere with the boot process of windows. I don't need ubuntu to use the ssd.
ActionParsnip, and where do I report it?
Quogwinkle: Do you have two physical drives or a hybrid drive?
deadmund: well, there is a "classic" hard drive and a solid state drive inside the laptop.
does anyone have any experience installing netbeans on 12.10?
deadmund: but I'm not sure about the difference really
Quogwinkle: Have you ever opened the computer?  Are you able to recognize the harddrives if you see them?
Quogwinkle: What does the bios see?
Quogwinkle: You can install windows and ubuntu after, GRUB will take care of allowing you to boot into both OSs.
Quogwinkle: indeed, the boot process of windows is disturbed.  But Ubuntu handles this issue head-on
im trying to screen capture with kazazm
which works...sometimes..othertimes its like it starts then...when i go to pause it or finish..it just does nothing..and then i have to go in and kill the process off
the werid part..it doesnt seem to be a problem if i start it from a command line.
but if i start it from the dash it seems to fail every time
When you first enter a channel in irssi you see a list of users, some with an "@" at the beggining. What does that mean?
deadmund: how does ubuntu handle it? could it be so that I wont be able to boot windows after the install?
Quogwinkle: of course not.  Ubuntu replaces the "windows boot loader" with a bootloader called grub.  Grub allows you to choose which OS to boot.  (windows or linux)
it is a much more reliable boot loader by the way
@quist, it sonds like those people are ops
Quogwinkle: Occasionally (VERY rarely) the automatically installation / configuration of grub goes wrong and you can't boot either.  This is usually fixed using a live CD and installing grub on your own.  Again, this is very rare.
at work they just replace the boot loader and use it even though they dont have linux installed
or if you install ubuntu then windows
grub is a much better boot loader than the windows one.  I agree.
then it will mess up
Anyone who knows where to modify the dhclient3 arguments ?
ya things like auto failover.
deadmund, i agree with that
have two bootable drives..one fails it just boots the other.
deadmund : I think everyone will agree that grub beats the winloader
deadmund: my concern is that something like that will happen because windows uses the hybrid drive for the boot process, and that grub wont take care of that
windows in your preus?
I'm trying to install netbeans on 12.10, but the installation terminal stops every time at "searching for JVM".  Anyone have a possible fix?
Quogwinkle, you should see the drives in your partitioner
when you to that aprt
part
get to that part
Quogwinkle: If you have two physical drives you can install ubuntu (and the ubuntu bootloader, grub) on the drive that does not have windows installed on it.  Therefore, ubuntu won't touch anything windows.  You can choose which operating system to boot by changing the boot order in the bios.  This is not convenient.  Also, I doubt that windows is entirely on one HDD.  If you even have two harddrives.  What does the bios see?  Two harddrives or one?
wonderful
acolytetojippity: do you have java installed ?
thiebaude: yes, but will grub take care of that and allow windows to boot normally?
Quogwinkle: also, you can look at the drives using gparted (or the partitioner in the installer) as thiebaude suggested
ikonia, how am i gonna solve my problem then?
grub wont touch it
Quogwinkle: It almost definitely will install / configure itself correctly.
@_DanN_ I did not EXPLICITLY install t, but i'm pretty sure it's on here.  how do i check/install it if it's not?
Quogwinkle: yes it will
OK I just checked the BinARY IIFUP: chlient3 options are FIXED
unchanble
utter crap
acolytetojippity: how are you installing netbeans?
i'm folowing the instructions on the netbeans installation page.  i downloaded an installation.sh, chmod +x'd it, and am running it.
is there a way to enable INFILE for mysql? i'm looking online, and it looks like it was compiled with that option off
deadmund: do I need to do something extra if I see two drives in bios?
acolytetojippity: thats the wrong way - it is in the repos - so just sudo apt-get install netbeans
dougb: Then you'll have to recompile mysql
Quogwinkle: just make sure grub2 installs into the MBR of the first booting disk
Quogwinkle: Well, then we need to make a decision about which drive to install ubuntu on.  Do you see evidence of two drives or one drive anywhere?
Quogwinkle, many systems that are shipped with two disks and windows installed have this awful intel raid enabled. so check that that is disabled
hi i'm new to irc and had a quick question. i'm in another room with 200 people and the room seems silent. i don't see people chatting like they are here. i am registered. am i doing something wrong?
novaspirit: most rooms are much more quiet then this one.
novaspirit: try and activate a bot
deadmund: I want ubuntu installed on the hdd, as on normal computers. but grub should always be installed on the primary drive? In the windows "computer management" -> disk management, I see two drives
guntbert, the version in the software center is out of date.  it's 7.0.1, not 7.2
Quogwinkle: dont mix drive with partition
Quogwinkle, try the ubuntu live cd and see which drives are there
deadmund, it's #asus-transformer chat room with a lot of people joining. i thought i was doing something wrong but i've been in it for the past hour and no one talks or responed to my messages like this room
Quogwinkle: I am not familiar with the windows tool.  It sometimes shows partitions (all on one drive) as different drives.  The only notion of a 'primary' drive is the drive that is booted by the bios.  Sometimes (with IDE) there is master / slave.  But I doubt this is the case in a SDD / HDD laptop.
Quogwinkle: do a "sudo fdisk -l" (small L) from a running (live) ubuntu
k1l_: I dont think I am, because both drives have several partitions. and the computer spec. says it is a hybrid device with both optical and ss dirves
novaspirit: just a quiet room
novaspirit, happens to me somtimes, justmeans ppl not talking
deadmund, lols so it's not me.
Quogwinkle: I think you should boot the ubuntu live CD, start gparted.  And see what drives it sees
novaspirit: correct
k1l_, Quogwinkle use sudo parted -l not sudo fdisk -l
exactly
escott: why not fdisk?
deadmund, man. i was trying to figure out if some one can teach me to dual boot my transformer too.... =(
k1l_, it cannot read gpt partition tables
deadmund: okay, Ill reboot and have a look now, thanks all!
deadmund, android + ubuntu = love
escott: hmm, well. you are right :) i have to get used to gpt :)
12.04 I would really love it if my system would stop blanking my screen while I watching fullscreen flash videos. It doesn't blank my screen at any other time because I have the screensaver and and power controls disabled. What should I do?
so, quick question to a dev here :) now that there's systemd, will you change to that or stick to upstart? :)
bkc_: There are probably not any devs here
Whenever I login my screen goes black and displays some text and then goes back to the login screen. When I use a tty to reset unity with, unity --reset it gives me an error saying couldn't open display :0. I get the same error when using Display=:0 unity --replace. Any suggestions?
Does anyone know why only certain processes can be backgrounded? For example: If I open vim and then ctrl-Z and type "bg", why does the process not run in the background?
bkc_, and that question has been asked many times of the ubuntu developers and their responses can easily be found with google
deadmund: okey, anyone related to the development then ^.^
escott: thanks, will do :)
odutta, how exactly would it continue to run in the background? what would it be doing?
Isn't there a #ubuntu-devel channel as well?
odutta: probably because vim want's to be attached to a terminal
bkc_: Don't bother them if you can find it on google but there is #ubuntu-devel
escott: I'm not sure. But I've been playing with remoting into my ubuntu server and I know how to use screen. But let's say I forgot to use screen, and I couldn't theoretically save my document. How could I bg and disown vim without killing it. I suppose that is the question.
deadmund: aah, well I found a wiki-page on systemd/ubuntu so I'll just read that :)
But I understand how it not being connected to a terminal is an issue.
deadmund: mainly curious, not really interested :)
bkc_: ok
odutta, if you disowned vim... then vim would have no chance of ever getting input... it would be less than useless
escott: So is there a way of detaching an application from the current terminal and having it hover, and then reconnecting to it from another one?
odutta, thats what screen is for
odutta: detach :)
bkc_, ubuntu will stick to upstart
glebihan_: thanks :)
bkc_, http://www.markshuttleworth.com/archives/1121
bkc_, it's clearly said there
Hold on, I will man detach. I guess I'm trying to figure out the best way to not kill an app if you need to send a SIGHUP, and you do not have the program screened. I've just learned that only certain programs can be backgrounded.
I just finished this guide to set up a mail server: http://flurdy.com/docs/postfix. I need to access the virtual mail inboxes from a program i'm writing. I added the user account the program will run under to the virtual group but I can't seem to set the correct permissions on the virtual directory to allow access to all the mail. When I set execute permissions for the mail directories, I still can't read the raw, mail files, and the
permissions show up as "rws". Does this have something to do with the fact that "virtual" is a system group, and does anyone know a way around this?
odutta: There is a way to do what you want with a specific program.
Does ubuntu come with alternate console fonts?
(like psf2 fonts... gr737b-9x16-medieval.psfu.gz for instance?
)
odutta: I usually use detach with /bin/bash for ssh-access :)
hi guys.simple question: how can i have folder preview in Caja?
i'm trying to install this pcsx2 (playstation 2 emulator) but it says there are some dependencies, i can't seem to find those packages in the repos could someone help me figure out the names of the packages needed for pcsx2 to work? http://pcsx2.net/download/releases/linux/viewcategory/4-linux.html
guntbert, yeah, apt-get gave me the out of date one.
bkc_: In what manner do you detach? "detach" itself doesn't seem to be a bash command.
odutta: (or screen/tmux) to always get back to where I was previously. just setup you're .bashrc to look for SSH-session and automagically start the old detached session again :)
odutta: 'detach' is an app in apt :)
bkc_: Ah I see now.
Well I guess I will really have to remember to use my screens.
what's the proper way to  mount a vmware shared folder when ubuntu is running as a guest?
It's like screen, just more lightweight and no tabbed terminals... it's mainly for detaching a single process (like do-system-upgrade or something like that )
is there any command to update all hardware drivers?
12.04 I would really love it if my system would stop blanking my screen while I watching fullscreen flash videos. It doesn't blank my screen at any other time because I have the screensaver and and power controls disabled. What should I do?
angs: apt-get upgrade ?
or updatE*
bkc_: thank you escott: thank you
New fun things to try!
:)
bkc_: update simply checks to see if there's anything new. upgrade installs the updates. and dist-upgrade will apply any new kernel available in the repo
Hey. I have a Thinkpad x120e with ubuntu 12.04. It hangs when coming out of suspend or when shutting down. suspend log: http://pastebin.com/0SDKE9PT
crimsonmane: thanks, havn't used ubuntu since 12.04 (kubuntu) so I'm not absolutely sure about the commands anymore :)
So, did anyone get an official invite to the steam beta
especially when i use USB modem. Help?
Hi
I did apt-get update and upgrade however my laptop works too slow. I guess it is because of the drivers
Hi. How do I start gnome-fallback with no effects from xdm?
Steam Beta Invites are going to be rolled out over time, building 'steam' rofl as time goes on
Can anybody help me with an anoying problem?
someone fucked up GDM in recent update and it now exists right before login screen shows up
Hey. I have a Thinkpad x120e with ubuntu 12.04. It hangs when coming out of suspend or when shutting down. suspend log: http://pastebin.com/0SDKE9PT. Help? Thanks.
i wish there would be more testing done
since I shut down my laptop disabled
btw, I'm running ubuntu 12.04
mistype
Since I shut down my laptop with wifi disabled
I have to dis- and enable wifi when I log on to go online
Hey. I have a Thinkpad x120e with ubuntu 12.04. It hangs when coming out of suspend or when shutting down. suspend log: http://pastebin.com/0SDKE9PT. Help? Thanks.
hi.  i have two computers, both running 12.10 desktop.  one one, the applications' menu bar is part of its window, and on the other, the menu bar is in the desktop's menu bar.  i am probably not using accurate terminology here, but i'm wonding how i can change this setting?
lunaphyte_, its called global menubar
after a while of using mint 13 mate, i shut down my laptop with wifi disabled through Fn keys, but ever since that I have to dis- and enable it for it to work
They're are not responding to my questions there.
bas_, so
Does Ubuntu keep a copy of printed documents as default?
And since mint is ubuntu-based, i thought i could find a solution here
marsfligth, no
Someone, please help. This is irritating. Here is my suspend log, i'm sure it's a simple bug. http://pastebin.com/0SDKE9PT
escott: thanks, that's the clue i needed.
escott: so, only the list of jobs printed and the documents name
Laptop gets hung on black screen, when i sspend or shut down.
marsfligth, it may get kept in /tmp or /var somewhere while the queue is running
I'm supposed to force-sleep some network-related component, is it? Which and how?
hy @all some one here i could ask a question about the /dev/videox device and the videodev kernel module?
something else isn't working quite right with the desktop interface on one of the computers.
marsfligth, see /var/spool/cups
escott: in 'http://localhost:631/' there is a list of moths of printing jobs
when i press the super key, is doesn't bring up the dash.  but if i put the mouse cursor on the menu bar at the top of the screen, it does.
it also works if there is an application running.
but when i close all applications, the last one closed has its name left in the menu bar, on the left side.  it never says "ubuntu desktop"
marsfligth, and thats probably reading from /var/spool/cups, but i dont think the actual document contents are stored anywhere
escott: good to know, thanks
im trying to install wine but its asking me to accept a EULA for mscorefonts, it won't let me accept the licence agreement i press enter and nothing happens... i also tried pressing Y
crackerjackz: tab
Somebody, please?
I have a Thinkpad x120e with ubuntu 12.04. It hangs when coming out of suspend or when shutting down. suspend log: http://pastebin.com/0SDKE9PT. Help? Thanks.
lunaphyte_: sounds like you are running gnome-shell, not unity
xangua: how can i tell?
xangua: i closed it out, but now when i try to run the command it says could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock  open (11: resource temporarily unavailable) unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/, is another process using it?
xangua: i initially installed 12.04 on this computer, and the super key worked as expected.  it broke upon upgrading to 12.10
escott: thank you
hy can some one tell me on how do i get the videodev module loaded or installed on a ubuntu server?
what's the proper way to  mount a vmware shared folder when ubuntu (12.04) is running as a guest?
maxbit, modprobe videodev
escott i tryed but it looks like the module isn't installed
maxbit, its possible they use a different kernel config and dont make that module
I have tried sudo pmount /media/win-mystuff/   mystuff
when i try to remove wine it tells me this... debconf: DbDriver "config": /var/cache/debconf/config.dat is locked by another process: Resource temporarily unavailable
I get error;  Error: invalid device
i probably should say that i use a arm plattform(pandaboard) and try to get my webcam running on /dev/videox
the only thing i could find out that the videodev in't present if i type sudo lsmod
 /msg NickServ identify 1q2w3e
is it possible to compile the module and load it manual?
sure
see if the module is on the system first?
where does apt cache downloads
then load it with modprobe if it is.
just did a zillion updates on one machine and want to rsync the archives at least over to another
how i look if it is present on file system?
so i dont have to download em again
lizardbrain, /var/cache/apt/archives
maxbit, locate videodev.ko
 lizardbrain you may want to look into apt-cacher-ng
escott, tyvm
maxbit: better solution: find /lib/modules -type f -name videodev.ko
@escott there is no output on the terminal
Does anybody know of an oddifical hardening standard for Ubuntu?
official, even
ok it's not there
CIS have a Debian standard, but its not entirely relevant
maxbit, you could grab a desktop kernel or build your own
Hi everyone!
I'm trying to download the package "netcfg", but it's not found by apt-get
Can anyone help?
ok will try this probably some one has a good tut on how i do this it's for a omap4 plattform?
hmm.
xangua: Would I have to add "awesome-extra" repo?
Wait, is awesome-extra even a repo?
hi
Xanthippus, no its  a package
Can I just get netcfg only out of that package?
That's all I need, only because for some reason, my network doesn't connect automatically
I have to run iwconfig, like, 5 times
I am writing a nagios script that checks if a server accepts a password at ssh prompt. Is there an easy way to check, via a script, if my ubuntu ssh server accepts passwords ?
hello, how to regenerate /etc/apt/sources.list? it wasn't properly created during install
bazhang: no worries ;]
bananapie: thats a slightly.. odd way to do it?
bananapie, you can parse the output of ssh -vv
helllo andy
I think that parsing ssh -vv could work
does ssh have a timeout value?
bananapie: usually you just check if the sockets listening - do your systems have a habit of getting their sshd config changed all the time?
orlok, no, but I setup a new server recently and forgot to secure the ssh server
and was hacked in a few hours.
bananapie: How did you find out you were hacked?
bananapie: indeed.  How were you, "hacked"
how can i give a user permission to create raw sockets without giving full root access?
is there a way to grant just that one permission
bananapie: kind of a backwards way to deal with it..
jefimenko: they should be able to, just above port 1024
bananapie: Look at OSSec.
jefimenko, CAP_NET_RAW
omg guys. I just lost 1.8 TB of data, it vanished on my drive in the last 30 mins!
escott: what's the context for CAP_NET_RAW? how do i grant it to a user?
can someone help me fix this? O_O
It was the first breach I have had on my servers since I became responsable for them 4 years ago.
how to remove itunes on wine.   not in terminal pls
jefimenko, with setcap on the binary
bananapie: How did you find the breach?
It's embarrassing to say, but my internet provider received a complaint that my server was scanning servers all over the net.
escott: thanks
I hadn't installed my normal security policy on the machine, and I let a n00b choose the root password :$
bananapie, there is no root password
Say what
escott: there is if you set one
bananapie: install ossec
ok
What's that?
Xanthippus: FIM, HIDS, polity compliance and some other stuff
bananapie: It will generate emails when somebody attempts to brute force your system. also, theres tools like fail2ban
orlok: I have that on my server, how to configure it?
bananapie: I'm actually trying to find documentation on a hardening standard for Ubuntu currently - There doesnt appear to be one.
* maxbit thanks escott
Xanthippus: Set the email address and mail server in its config file is the first step!
it looks like it'll work
Would the domain name for my mail server be my DDNS?
I think my hardening
I hardened my ubuntu pretty well. I did some serious customisations of apparmor.d amonst other things.
orlok: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Security is a starting point I assume.
arand: I'm more after something like the CIS standards. Theres one for Debian, but Ubuntu has deviated far enough away that its not really relevant
arand: https://benchmarks.cisecurity.org/en-us/?route=downloads.multiform
orlok: I don't know of one, maybe there are somethng mentioned on the wiki, or likely #ubuntu-hardened knows
anyone had luck with a Nikon Coolpix l110?  I plug it in via USB and get nothing.
sharon: do you have an external storage card on the device you could use instead of plugging in the camera directly? i'm assuming you just want to transfer files?
I just realized that I am in the wrong chat room. Sorry guys!
sharon: when you've plugged it in, can you see it when you do 'lsusb' in the terminal?
nydel, yes, but that slot doesnt' seem to be working either.  tailing /var/log/syslog doesn't show anything helpful
sharon: is it a little sd card
yeats, lsusb:  Bus 002 Device 006: ID 04b0:017e Nikon Corp.
nydel, it is.
sharon: okay, so the system "knows" it's plugged in... does it show up in Nautilus?
sharon: lsmod | grep sd, please?
(back in one minute)
yeats, I'm in Xfce, but it doesn't show up in the equivalent (Thunar?)
sharon, i think most of the nikons use the proprietary protocal so you need to install libgphoto2 and use one of those tools
sharon: okay
nydel, nothing, but the card is back in the camera at the moment
anyone having video problems with 12.1. I've  found that cpu utilization hits 100 percent upon watching any Video for more than 15 minutes. Thought this was spefic to VLC but it seems like its the same issue with flash. It may be using Software rendering rather than GPU. I could only find drivers for ATI and yet I have an intel integrated card. Any help would be appreciated.
sharon with Nikon you can try this pagem gphoto2 and gtkam >> http://deadlytechnology.com/linux/save-photos-nikon-ubuntu/
my fresh 12.10 install freezes while booting, directly after "starting configure virtual network devices"
It does not respond to any keyboard inputs
hi all, i'm on linux mint lisa, and i'm trying to output the s-video out on an intel 965gm card to the television, but i cannot get it to work. i've tried several different kernels, as advised in some documentation found online, but i can't seem to get it to work. any advice would be appreciated.
sharon: have you verified that the card is readable?
nydel, they show up on the camera's screen
sorry i meant to put that in the linux mint chat room, but i suppose if anybody knows the answer to this problem, it would still be appreciated.
sharon: ok so it's likely fine. would you plug it in to your pc? what version of ubuntu are you running?
when I unplug and replug the keyboard I get some kernel debug.  When I hit the power key it shuts down normally
nydel, 12.04
sharon: by "it" i mean the sd card, not the camera. unless you want to set up the camera for some reason?
Unable to locate package libgphoto2...
sharon: what gives you that error?
sharon; it should be there because it is in main repo
ah thanks escott, i couldn't find it :-)
nydel, already installed
I'm on an atom Z670, is anyone familiar with that architecture?
sharon: sudo apt-get install libgphoto2-2
nydel, and lsmod | grep sd is showing nothing.  I wonder if the card reader is broke.  It doesn't feel right
sharon: you've already done that?
nydel, it was already installed I guess before I sat down here tonihgt
hello
sharon: could you try running that apt-get real quick anyway
burdickjp, never seen one. Is it running ubuntu?
nydel, libgphoto2-2 is already the newest version.
sharon: then try "sudo mount -a" & open nautilus
sharon: if "sudo mount -a" has odd output please pastebin it
nydel, gphoto does not support a filesystem. stop telling sharon to use mount
sharon, you have to use one of the other tools like gphoto or gtkam or the command line tool to get an image of these kinds of cameras
say 'yes' if anyone is seeing this
burdickjp, no
escott: i have heard of poorly configured mounts getting in the way for people trying to use sd cards
sd cards reader,commonly works greatfully for me
nydel, but the 110 is a PTP mode camera
just making sure I'm actually being ignored and am not in some way not being seen.  thank you.
is there a gui for browsing the camera?
how do i search for / fix broken packages
burdickjp,what the problems ?
blackshirt: same for me, once though i had a bad line in my fstab using curlftpfs & during that i couldn't use my sd drive
i'm trying to install some things but i keep getting error messages like pcsx2-plugins : Depends: libsoundtouch1c2 (>= 1.3.1) but it is not installable
E: Broken packages
my fresh 12.10 install freezes while booting, directly after "starting configure virtual network devices"
burdickjp: if someone can help believe me it will just calm down
sharon, try one of the photo managemant applications shotwell or gphoto and try to import from there
nydel,maybe you need remove it from fstab
sharon, in that url, gtkam is the gui for gphonto2
gtkam looks promising.  I think they shook hands anyway
blackshirt: i did & all was fixed. i was just explaining to escott why i asked to get an error from mount -a.
anyone having video problems with 12.1. I've  found that cpu utilization hits 100 percent upon watching any Video for more than 15 minutes. Thought this was spefic to VLC but it seems like its the same issue with flash. It may be using Software rendering rather than GPU. I could only find drivers for ATI and yet I have an intel integrated card. Any help would be appreciated.
i've been at it, and on here, literally all day and the first response I've gotten han been to asking if I'm being seen.
burdickjp, can you describe your problems detailly,i was sit here for just a time
sharon: i'm reading that people have luck rebooting with the sd card in the slot. it's not ideal but it could be a solution. also after reboot you can try "sudo su -l; echo 1 > /sys/bus/pci/rescan"
I'm on a dell latitude ST, intel atom Z670, following poulsbo boot directions and this guide: http://www.mogilowski.net/lang/en-us/2012/02/15/install-ubuntu-on-dell-latitude-st-tablet/ boot hangs at said point and is unresponsive to keyboard
burdickjp, wow, i have not this devices before ....intel atom proc was supported in linux .... Try to disable some options in installer
blackshirt:  such as?
burdickjp, acpi=off
hello peopl
hello jagosix
well I accidently deleted some files off a hard drive ntfs with linux.. is there a way to recover them ?
the install media loads fine with the following:  poulsbo.blacklist=yes console=tty1 sdhci.debug_quirks=4
burdickjp, greats
install runs fine, first boot hangs at mentioned place
jagosix, i don't know...you remove it through some file manager?
burdickjp: add that to the first boot, then get updated
dolphin
actionpartnership: have, hangs at mentioned place
jagosix: use your backups
I have 3 ntfs partitions and I deleted some files off of it.
no backups
was doing it
jagosix, have you shift delete it ? If not, maybe they reside in dolphin "thrash"
tried to resore from dolphin trash
no go
good luck
jagosix: why is there no backup if the data is important?
have you been emptying it?
i was in the process of backing it up.
blackshirt, dolphin might not be keeping a trash archive for an external or ntfs partition
escott, maybe .... I have no play with dolphin before, but thanks guys
jagosix: try foremost
jagosix: on the external drive is there a folder called .Trash-1000
or similar
jagosix: I suggest you revise your backup procedure, it seems to detroy data.....
ya think
dolphin creates hidden folders at the root of the filesystem
the files in question may be in there
My desktop/background is "sticky", like a hung app. Windows are being permanently painted onto it. Is this a known bug?
the files are on a NTFS drive
oops were
i am going to continue posting my question until someone answers,
jagosix:where is it mounted?

carl0s-, sounds like nautilus may be hung and not responding to xdamage requests. try "killall nautilus & nautilus"
jagosix: unmount the partition, you will need a partition mounted writable to put ALL the files on there that it comes across
Also, the columns in nautilus are still resizing themselves constantly when I right click. It makes the whole thing slow as crap on my U9400 processor.
escott, it has been a persistent problem through reboots over more than a week.
jagosix:open a command prompt and type df -h.  tell me where this thing is mounted
How do I find out what dns servers are effectively used? Running Ubuntu Server, no nameservers specified in networking/interfaces, resolv.conf managed by resolvconf
hold a min I must bring the computer back up.
as soon as I deleted it. I shut it down.
hamo_osmo: what specific intel graphics?
i'm trying to write a little documentation: is mount.cifs included by default in ubuntu 12.10?
Anyone: open up a folder with  lots of items in nautilus, then change to list-view  (CTRL-2), and do some left-clicking and right-clicking. Does the "Name" column keep shifting in and out? It's more noticable with a large number of items, e.g., when Show Hidden Files is enabled (Ctrl-H).
burdickjp: Intel Corporation Core processor Integrated graphics Controller (i3 processsor)
the drives are not auto mounted
i do it manually
burdickjp: Ive been trying to do some googling on potential legacy drivers
^^ you should be able to check for mount.cifs by typing it in the command line or looking in /sbin TIA
kanliot: you will need cifs-utils
hamo_osmo:when it maxes out, what process is doing it?
kanliot: if you run the command, the OS tells you
ActionParsnip, TYVM.  how did you verify that it's not in a fresh install of ubunut?
jagosix:let me know when you're up
dev/sdb7
carl0s-, well nautilus seems to be having trouble. you could disable nautilus drawing the desktop as a workaround for the weird desktop
kanliot: I just install raring about an hour ago
kanliot: i also just ran the command and the OS tells you
ok thanks again, you've helped me before, you're a real trooper ActionParsnip
kanliot: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1344004/
kanliot: works with any command
burdickjp: what ever process is running the video so it may be VLC or the browser for flash
im up burdickjp
escott, that's an idea. How do I do that?
burdickjp: A co-worker said that legacy hardware will usually generate a  warning upon OS installation. I got no such warning.
escott, and yes, nautilus is very broke. much of the desktop is difficult and annoying truth be told.
carl0s-, in dconf-editor or gconf-editor under apps/nautilus you can find a setting for the desktop
jagosix:are you mounting the drive via the "devices" pane in dolphin, or command line?
devices in dolphin
jagosix:go ahead and open the root folder of the device in dolphin
jagosix: if you are using foremost, you want the partition unmounted
is it possible to autohide the top bar in gnome/ubuntu 12.10?
foremost ?
I'm having a problem updating 10.04.  (i need 10.04 because newer kernels won't boot) the updates are not downloading because part of the updates are wget 's that don't download from broken ubuntu.com links.  any advice?
ActionParsnip:if he deleted them via dolphin they may be in a hidden folder on the root of the device
burdickjp: is that a Dolphin thing?
wow is gnome 3 hard toget used to    why when i try to add my current user to vboxusers by sudo usermod -a -G vboxusers cjae and select something under vbox it tells me that i am not under vboxusers and how do I see this info?
ActionParsnip:yes
escott, thanks, but I don't see any apps -> nautilus in dconf-editor
kanliot: can you give a pastebin of the output of:   sudo apt-get update
cjae, try logging out
burdickjp: freaky
escott, I might just wait another 6 days and give fedora a shot.
gnome seems to have very little in system settings
is there repositories available for old ubuntu versions? I need to use 8.10
escott, i've put up with this dodgy window management crap for what feels like a year now.
gustavold: there may be PPAs but Intrepid is super dead. I suggest you upgrade
jagosix:when you have the root of the device open go to "view" and check the box for "show hidden files"
brb but i think i tried that already escott
carl0s-, there is a nautilus section in gconf/dconf somewhere don't remember whwere
cjae, then check the output of "groups"
ActionParsnip: I need to run this damn closed app that does not work on anything older than 8.10 :(
done
is anyone here running an integrated video card on 12.1???
now what ?
jagosix:there should be a folder called ".Trash-"something
gustavold: are there no alternatives
jagosix:open it, see if your stuff is in there
uhmnnno... remember this is a NTFS partition
ActionParsnip: making the closed app work on newer distros... but I don't know how to do that
gustavold: what is the app?
here is the results of apt-get update, looks like no errors: http://pastebin.com/JibriB4f
ActionParsnip: it is a brazilian government fiscal app
19 days even
kanliot: have you tried switching source servers
nope
jagosix:have you followed my directions?
ActionParsnip: it is a java app
gustavold: java is java dude, that's the beauty of java
should i try that for broken wgets in update manager?
yes ..
but it's a NTFS drive
ActionParsnip: not so sure about that :)
kanliot: switch to the main server, it may help
I'm drinking java right now
escott, thanks must have typed command wrong before when I logged out
jagosix: try foremost on the unmounted partition
ActionParsnip, what do i google for the instructions?
jagosix:cause I just checked my 2TB NTFS and it has that folder, full of the things i've remrved in dolphin
kanliot: no need, just use software centre. You don't need to use google for everything you know
ActionParsnip: every year they release a new version of the app, but I have to use the old one (from early 2009)... it didn't work well on my fedora then I decided to try something older
gustavold: I suggest a virtual machine running Precise and install Oracle Java, then try the app
hi I have a hp envy 17 3d laptop. I just installed ubuntu but I am having a couple bugs. Is there a ubuntu support page for this laptop and are there video card drivers available to download? currently I can't run a lot of compiz effects
ActionParsnip: thanks... I will try that
navetz: what video chip do you use?
ActionParsnip: The laptop has: ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5850 Graphics with up to 3835MB total graphics memory with 1GB dedicated
navetz: and what is the output of:   lsb_release -sc
ActionParsnip: quantal
navetz: and if you run:  sudo lshw -C display      do you see    driver=fglrx
navetz: do you also see an Intel GPU
ActionParsnip: this is my output: http://pastebin.com/19tHfcdE
wait, 8.04 is not eol yet... perhaps that would help
navetz: install the proprietary driver, you are using the open source driver at the moment
gustavold: it is on the desktop
I'm writing a sh script and i think i'm running into a noob issue. trying to call another script in the current directory but it keeps saying it can't be found (even specifying an absolute path) : http://pastebin.com/cuCr62H7
ActionParsnip: okay, do I find that on ATI's website ?
ActionParsnip: thank you
kailas: you don't need the file extension, it does nothing.
kailas: did you mark the file as executable?
ActionParsnip: hopefully this fixes some of my issues. Would you happen to know why ubuntu one is unusably slow when i start my computer, but if I turn it off then on with compiz it's lightning fast?
ActionParsnip: yeah, it's executable.  i can issue the same command at my command line and it works
hey anyone know any good encription programs for ubuntu
kailas: I believe you need line 7 to be:    exec "$PROGRAM"
i need some tok'ras
hello guys, any updates on Pidgin integration with the new messaging menu in Ubuntu 12.10?
kailas: I'd ask in #bash
also should I use fglrx or fglrx-updates?
ActionParsnip, i think it's fixed now, update manager seems to have downloaded evrything after i switched to the "main" like you said
kanliot: sweet
Ya!
kanliot: looks like the US server is being worked on
nitin: no updates, keep an eye on bug 1040259 you'll likely hear there first
trism: thanks
nitin: http://askubuntu.com/questions/201664/messaging-menu-missing-after-upgrade-to-12-10
nitin: found using:  https://duckduckgo.com/?q=pidgin+missing+from+messaging+menu
no
ActionParsnip: yay! I just added hardy's repo to my intrepid install, installed java-sun and the app works like a charm :D
gustavold: not really advised but neither are supported so it's youorcall.
gustavold: I suggest you install Precise, then Oracle Java then try there. I bet it works.
ActionParsnip: sorry, took the discussion to bash
kailas: no worries, its closer to your issue
excuse me, does anybody knows how does the cache memory works on ubuntu?
i mean, like a really explicit explanation
anyone knows?
alphack: i know it uses memory
alphack: its the same as the page file in Windows
alphack: its also used for suspend / hibernate
how can i see the source code?
hi, i have created some shares from nautilis, but where are these shares written ? and how can i see all of them/manage them?  i was looking at /etc/samba/smb.conf but they are not there
alphack: its in the kernel, you will need the kernel code. Why do you want the source code? What will that achieve?
it's for a homework

arcu-pe: how is that ubuntu support related?
its just entertaining
arcu-pe: then its offtopic here, isn't it?
depending on the topic
arcu-pe: so why paste it here? This channel is support ONLY
arcu-pe: NO, it's off-topic. Not ubuntu-related at all
i also need to know about arithmetic operations and the instruction cycle
arcu-pe: you can paste all you like in #ubuntu-offtopic  this is pure support
how are these different from other opperative systems?
alphack: then I'd ask in #kernel or #linux
the windows shares that i created from nautilus are not managed by samba?
dob1: they are shared via samba
well, thank you
ActionParsnip: and where are them?  i don't find them on smb.conf
i'll go check on #linux
dob1: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=where+does+nautilus+store+shared+folders    note the top link
dob1: too hard?
dob1: its the dumbest search, I still got an answer....
ActionParsnip,
glad to see you
fagioli: howdy
dob1: why was I able to find that, and so very quickly?
i just built my dad a pc, i set up vino remote desktop. i can connect to his computer no problem
heres my question
how can i have his ip address display easy
dob1: c'mon...quid pro quo
so he can read it to me over the phone?
fagioli: have him viit www.ipchiken.com
go to whatismyip.com
oops
www.ipchicken.com
ActionParsnip: i don't have /var/lib/nautilus
perfect :)
dob1: did any of the other links there help?
ActionParsnip: i found them /var/lib/samba/usershares , thanks for the links
dob1: again.....too hard?
ActionParsnip: i didn't find them on google, and yes too hard because i was looking on smb.conf, standard place for shared configuration
dob1: did you try another searc engine then...if google comes up blank?
dob1: you can use smb.conf but nautilus doesn't use it
ActionParsnip: anyway maybe my search was not accurate
dob1: mine was as basic as it comes....
ActionParsnip: you will get a google award for this
dob1: if google comes up with nothing, try other search engines
ActionParsnip: if i can't find it on google the page doesn't exists for me
dob1: there is more than google
ActionParsnip: well, i keep using google
dob1: try others, that's my point
dob1: notice how I din't use google and you got an answer....
dob1: think about it
dob1: google bubbles you, restricting your answers
dob1: I suggest you read this: http://dontbubble.us/
dob1: google isn't that great
ActionParsnip: anyway looking your search terms on google i found the pages you linked,  i was searching  ubuntu where are samba share written, instead of your search
dob1: i'd check the link dude, see how google works
ActionParsnip: i take a look
duckduckgo is pretty rad
google isn't that great, I use it as a secondary
ActionParsnip: i see the video, and read the site, ok i get it, but i think this is related to personal search, this was a "general" search
dob1: you still get bubbled
ActionParsnip: maybe, but if for example i look for a cinema, i'd like that it gives the cinema near to me, not the ones nears to you,  just an example
dob1: it does have advantages, but it does have disadvantages too
ActionParsnip: it's ok what is written, i see your point and the point of this site but it's not bad at all
does the Ubuntu 12.10 kernel support the EFI stub loader by default ?
yea, but there's a difference between simply using your location and building a complete profile of your personality
ActionParsnip: and considering that what you are looking for is on other pages on google search, do you prefer to go ahead looking on next pages or search the same terms on another search engine, and another, and another and see the first results?  i prefer go ahead on the pages
dob1: anyhoo, short of it is, don't just use google. You will get different results
ActionParsnip: yes but i
ActionParsnip: yes but on google i can assume that there are all the results,  i don't know the other search engine
try it, it also has a great bang syntax to get to different pages straight away :)
ActionParsnip: i will give it a try
dob1: you can find a PPA for an app with:     !ppa firefox     for exaple
khad76: incidentally, DuckDuckGo's offices could be hit with a thrown rock from where I'm at now
anyone else having issues with 'pwgen' ? it is locking my machine.
ActionParsnip: for example i was looking some search, in most of the case i prefer the google way, where it founds results based on what i look for before
dob1: yes but using both is intelligent if one fails you
what's the proper way to  mount a vmware shared folder when ubuntu is running as a guest?
ActionParsnip: for example "hibernate"  on google i get on first page all related java links, on duckduckgo, i get some links that i am not interested
I created the shared resources in the vmware config already
dob1: yes, that's the bubble. But you may not be looking for java stuff one day, then the results are of no use to you
ActionParsnip: i am trying search terms that can be ambigouos
ActionParsnip, how can you tell that someone is irc as root
Jmev: http://www.crazyadmin.com/?p=9
their username is root
escott: (01:22:25) root is now known as Guest48099
escott !rootirc
ActionParsnip, ahhh. i turn off the enter/leave so I just see you call out a random person and think its magic
ActionParsnip: it's not bad the bubble, but as you said it's better if there is an alternative too
ok so i keep getting weird sound feedback when i listen to anything any help?
escott: yes me too, but that is still shown so you know nicks when the person changes them. It's not a join message
hello can I have some help
M13: ask away
weird sound fedback problem when i watch anything anyone know a fix?
J-Rod: does it affect all apps?
thnx, um is there a way to make the suggestion things in the unity search go away?
M13: what is the output of:    wget -O alsa-info.sh http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh && chmod +x ./alsa-info.sh && ./alsa-info.sh --upload
no it only affects like streaming sites utilizing java and adobe a lil and pandora sometimes does it
M13: uninstall unity-lens-shopping
so what do i need to do? click tht link then what?
um can you send the command to my email so I can useit at school. Its for my Technology teacher
J-Rod: read what I put, don't just look at the link.....
How does it call function on ubuntu where when you click on nautilus icon on left hand side and its brings many little windows to choose from ?
J-Rod: if you just needed the link, I would have ONLY given the lnk
My email is ubuntunerd69@gmail.com
J-Rod: instead of looking, try reading
M13: why not email it yourself....it's not even a command......
ok i read it and i dont get what to do lol
J-Rod: copy the command and run it in a terminal.
o because Im on the xbox 360 right now
and its a script srry
M13: like I said.....read
and ActionParsnip can you take a look at this : http://github.com/madchicken13/m-os
M13: what am I looking at>
ok idi it
J-Rod: if you run the WHOLE command as ONE, it will do what it needs.
J-Rod: That's why I gave it as one command
have to go, bye thanks for the help
it told me where it was located and to inform the person helping me
J-Rod: yes, what is the URL of the info?
http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=3c10da3db96e6d7346675776880d5af321c10137
J-Rod: cool. Remember, just because something is a hyperlink doesn't mean you have to click it every time
ok i hear ya so now what do i need to do?
J-Rod: try:   echo "options snd-hda-intel model=acer-aspire" | sudo tee -a /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf > /dev/null        reboot to test
is there a chance i didnt need to do anything that tht fixed it?
 ActionParsnip, does he need to update-initramfs or does modprobe run after root is found?
J-Rod: if that's no good, try: http://pastie.org/5348863
cause i just turned on youtube and rthe problems gone
escott: the options are used on the module each time it's loaded, so no updating is needed
ActionParsnip, ok cool. TIL
did you see it actionparsnip?
M13: see what?
Action Partnership: I just rebooted it and it did not fix the problem
How does it call this feature to zoom out windows ?http://i.imgur.com/jtBTm.jpg
J-Rodok, delete the line from the file and try the PPA
http://github.com/madchicken13/m-os
zatan_: its a compiz plugin called scale
J-Rod_: http://pastie.org/5348863  try those commands
ActionParsnip, thanks
J-Rod_: make sure you remove the line from alsa-base.conf
I just rebooted a box, it wouldn't come back up, messages about; Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS etc etc...    I booted to a previous kernel, and it came up fine.  Is it possible to tell when that current kernel was installed? like have I been running it for a while and something is really wrong?
Praxi: uname -a; sudo update-grub    will give clues
how would i do that?
M13 what should we see on your github ?
M-OS
M13, what is M-OS ? the description is kind of poor
Praxi, did it say it couldn't find root?
Its a OS Coded in Shell Script
how would i remove that line action?
escott, the complete message was LIKE this Kernel Panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-bloc(8,2)
what Jordan??
Praxi, more than likely a module is missing that is required to be able to access your / filesystem (maybe a dmraid module or perhaps lvm?)
Praxi, what is special about the way your computer is configured... in particular is / on LVM or some kind of raid?
ok srry trying to find a person that isnt a total douch
actionpartnership: how would i remove that line?
J-Rod_: gksudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf
M13: This channel is for Ubuntu support questions, not for "Shell script OS"s, and not for personal attacks.
ok
its just a VM, I shut it down to reboot my host, and it came back with that escott
can some help me out? In windows I save files by pressing alt + f, alt + s, but in ubuntu when I press al it opens the dash search menu... what is the keycommand to access the programs little tabby buttons at the top?
had a normal shutdown, no errors or complaints
Praxi, what kind of VM? what is the virtualization system
Nordom: why not just use ALT+S
anyone here run a openbox ubuntu?
vmware, host is ubuntu 12.04, guest is ubuntu server 12.xx
ryan_: indeed
Nordom: try pressing it slightly faster
ActionParsnip: because when I pressing alt it opens dash
Praxi, perhaps its para-virt and you need to get the para-virt drivers into the kernel for the new kernel, or perhaps something about the new kernel is incompatible with vmware virtualized hardware
it worked O.o
ActionParsnip: s there a way I could just turn it off?
Nordom: press the F a little faster, or disable dash
ryan_: i don't support in PM
normally when a new kernel comes out, it tells me to recompile.
ActionParsnip: I dont want to turn off dash, just they key command do you have any ideas?
Nordom: http://askubuntu.com/questions/122209/how-do-i-modify-or-disable-the-huds-use-of-the-alt-key
thx ActionParsnip big help
* OerHeks finding askubuntu awesome too
Nordom: source: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=ubuntu+disable+hud
it is booting up on the previous kernel, can I just uninstall the new kernel thats it seems to be hosing out on?
Praxi, you probably just missed that and need to make the paravirt modules
not really familiar with that escott
is -fsapo_- an script ?
Praxi, for performance reasons you are probably running a para-virt system meaning that some of the stuff that the guest kernel would do through the virtual hardware is actually passed through a special kernel module down to the host kernel. Things like accessing disks are a good example of that as guest can just inject its reads and writes into the VFS queue of the host. But to make that work you need a kernel module to be available.
sounds like you forgot to compile it after getting a kernel update (which you might not have noticed came through). So compile the vmware guest paravirt modules, and update-initramfs for the offending kernel and that will hopefully take care of the issue
escott, does this look like a reasonable instructions for me to use?  http://www.rdoxenham.com/?p=218
Praxi, would not be able to tell you. know absolutely nothing about vmware
* OerHeks finding fsapo a script
maybe the ops did not see it >>  -fsapo- ERRMSG ACTION finding fsapo a script unknown query
Anyone play HoN?
how to remove itunes on wine?
anyone know of a software like quickbooks i could use on ubunt?
and your not wanting quickbooks in wine? or mint.com
?
i just want something to make invoices and keep track of customers
polarbear, Type in a terminal or press Alt+F2 and type wine uninstaller will give you access to the built in Add/Remove tool from wine. From there you can uninstall a program you have installed
OerHeks: i want a opensoure software
<OerHeks>   tnx pal.  it's work
polarbear, have fun
eightiesk, lwn.net has extensive reviews of many such programs
eightiesk, i think GNU cash, but i am not experienced with accounting software
eightiesk, its under the "grumpy editors" series
eightiesk, most recent was about 3 months ago
polarbear, check  /home/username/.local/share/applications/wine/Programs folder if there are traces left
escott: where do i look on here
for what
is anyone on here running Ubuntu in a VM (VMWare Fusion as it were)
<OerHeks> tnx pal,   1 more, itunes on wine didnt detect my iphone?
how did you get vmware working
mine screws up
polarbear, i am not sure what iphone/iOS can connect to ubuntu, without jailbreaking.
ill ttry again
wine sometimes cant do certain things
eightiesk, this is the most recent... should have backlinks to the older reviews... which are actually from 2005, but probably still largely relevant
http://lwn.net/Articles/516659/
does anyone run Ubuntu on in a Virtual machine
vonKemper, yes
vonKemper: yeap
vonKemper: Did you see my response? Please ask your actual question.
probely but i cant get one working
I am running Ubuntu 12.04 in VMWare Fusion 4 on a Mac
<OerHeks> how to save file that i have download on playon linux
What's a simple way to copy a partition table (just the partition table) from one disk to another. (Including the GPT if present.)
vonKemper, if you run ubuntu in a VM then you shouldnt need to ask if anyone does because you already know the answer :-P
cjs: For what purpose?
escott: very true :D
go to dash home and serch brows c drive>dosdives>c: drive> then find your download
browse*
so my question is how do i get the auto-hide to work on the laucher
you can also change your download folder
cjs, it would probably make more sense to dump the table in machine readable form from a tool like parted and reload it on the other side. generally you would not want to copy the table (especially gpt as that would copy the guids)
Jordan_U: I've got two disks of the same size; the first has a partition set up as a RAID 1 on md0, and I'd like to make an identical partition on the second device be the mirror in md0.
difficult to ask some questions without polling! :D
vonKemper, (a) you would need to install the guest additions and some of those things will only work if it is fullscreen
escott: dump and load is exactly what I was thinking of when I said "copy", actually.
escott: i have all of the Linux tools installed
The important point here is that I make sure I *don't* copy any of the md information from sda to sdb.
vonKemper: Actually, it really isn't. It wasn't needed for your question for example.
cjs, sudo parted -lm /dev/sda
escott: i do java development (as a consultant) and find myself in my Ubuntu VM for 10 - 12 hrs/day
I need help with ubuntu,I am making a game and I dont know what program I can use to make it or even a animation.
so i was hoping to get some of the minor nuances functioning to increase my screen realestate
Im using ubuntu 12.04.1
cjs, apparently sfdisk has a even cleaner way to do it. sfdisk -d | sfdisk
is there a way to use wildcards in nautilus?
12.04
so, my question is does autohide work in a VM?
mine hides, and never comes back... unless i go back into settings and disable autohide
escott: Perfect! sfdisk does just the trick.
cjs: escott: I don't think that sfdisk supports GPT.
lubuntu software center sucks
vonKemper, autohide works not very well in VMs
wildcards anyone?
Hm. So if I just do a parted -l, it claims that /dev/sda has an "msdos" partition table. Would it say something different if this were the compatibility partition table for a GPT disk?
vonKemper, the problem is that the edge of the screen is often done as 0px or 1px at the edge and you move the pointer PAST the edge to trigger the unhide. but you cant do that when the root window is windowed inside something else. consider disabling any pointer integration for better behavior
Actually, the partition table was created by the Ubuntu 12.04.1 server amd64 installer; would it have created just an msdos one?
cjs, yes it would say gpt if it were gpt
escott: what do you run Ubuntu on?
escott: Ah, thanks. So I didn't need to worry about that after all.
cjs, if you had a gpt partition table then you would have an msdos partition (that should never be reported by any tool unless things are broken or the tool is stupid ie fdisk) which would list a single gpt-protective partition to cover the entire disk (type EE)
vonKemper, at work the host is Win7 with virtualbox
vonKemper, i either keep ubuntu fullscreen or I RightCtrl+I to disable the pointer integration
escott, is your daily driver Ubuntu on bare metal?
ayuda como se usa esto jaja
vonKemper, yes
Hi everyone.
I'm new to Linux :D
thank's
Do I need to register for anything to be in here?
escott: Ah, is that how the compatability thing works. I see. Thanks.
cjs, rodsbooks.com if you are curious about details
escott: Thanks. In fact, that kinda leads in to my next issue....
escott, i run ubuntu in fullscreen mode all day (never in window mode... only have the 13" display)
i dont see a setting to disable pointer integration
rinches, this is a support channel. you are welcome to listen and learn though
vonKemper, it would be vmware specific
escott, yeah, i have been googling about looking for the answer, and no luck
I've got an LVM volume that contains a disk image with partition table and ext2fs and swap partitions. I'd like to resize this. What's the easiest way to do that. Does, say, gparted have a mode where it can work on, say, a disk image rather than a real disk?
cjs, thats going to be a complex process. (a) grow the LVM volume. (b) notify the VM that the disk is larger (c) boot a live system and resize the various partitions
escott: I was hopeing to take the guest VM off line and use tools on the host to do the work. That seems easier to me, at least at first glance.
cjs, you could try. maybe you can run parted on a normal file
cjs, but after you grow the LVM module you do have to additionally grow the image file with 0s at the end
escott, does 3d accel work in your VirtualBox VM?
cjs, and that would usually be done by the VM tools
vonKemper, with guest additions 3d desktop works... haven't tried to play quake or anything but...
escott, my apologies for the grill, but what about snapshots?
escott: There is no "image file," the lvm gets the partition directly.
i have never used VirtualBox,
escott, i rely heavily on snapshot restoration (client presos, etc.) and VMWare has been rock solid for that
cjs, ok. then you might be ok. try it and see what sudo parted /dev/mapper/whatever-volume says
hi
vonKemper, i can certainly take snapshots. its not something i rely upon much, and i dont know how optimized it is (i dont think they COW the files)
hi good morning community
escott: Oh wow. parted /dev/mapper/guestvol works, actually! I thought I'd tried that before and it didn't.
escott: Oh, I tried gparted /dev/mapper/guestvol. That's what didn't work.
which command is used to know the system inormation which I am using
escott, ty
i think it wouldnt hurt to try VBox...
cjs, unfortunatley parted doesnt make growing easy
talpur, a number. lshw, lspci, lsusb
escott: So I think what I do here is use kpartx to get me a device pointing to the ext4 partition, resize2fs to resize it, then parted to change the partition size. Bleh. Seems like there's a lot of room for error in getting all the numbers right.
I'm trying to learn the CLI... How do I open a file within it?
escott: Or can parted resize a partition and filesystem at the same time, as gparted does?
talpur, cpuinfo. there is one for RAM information as well. lshw rolls a bunch of such tools into one
thanks escott:  I am trying all see the differnce. I am trying to run spec so there are different file I couldn't recognize which file suite to my system
cjs, i dont know the answer to that. i know gparted is nice in that it does it. you could also try running kpartx on the /dev/mapper and then handing that to gparted
rinches, open the file with what application?
Hello
I'm trying to sign code of conduct and I got this error: "(7, 9, u'No public key')"
What is wrong?
Ubuntu is the best!! my like!!
help weird sound feedback when playing youtube like videos
insano, you need to publish your public key somewhere so it can verify your signature
help weird sound feedback when playing youtube like videos
escott:   I think I did
quit
site that publishes the public keys of ubuntu?
insano, evidently its not where they expect it to be. also for public identities make sure you set an expiry date on the key
GPG Keys?
escott:   oops, I think I set no expire date
Jejejeje yes.
insano, good idea to generate a new identity and set an expiry... also make your revocation key, put it on a usb keychain and put it somewhere safe
escott:   Can I edit?
No problem!!!
insano, otherwise you end up like me... and have an identity file out there you can't revoke. if i were to ever become a kernel developer i'd be better off legally changing my name to distance myself from my old key
does anyone know a fix ppl have tried to help but most fixes ive gotten dont work
insano, i don't think so. best to kill it
escott: using kpartx with gparted doesn't really make sense to me. After all, gparted is reading and changing the partition table that kpartx merely uses to create/delete devices for each partition.
escott:   how so?
cjs, ooooh idea. use the loopback driver to attach the partition to /dev/loop0 and then point gparted at /dev/loop0
insano, generate a revocation key with an explanation (forgot to set expiry) and publish that on any keyserver that you uploaded the public key to
ursinha
escott: Correct me if I'm wrong here, but I think you've got a mistake in your thinking. You keep talking about giving a partition to gparted, but gparted wants the disk containing the partitions.
escott:   can you say me the command?
cjs, no im saying "losetup /dev/loop0 /dev/mapper/whatever; gparted /dev/loop0
escott: Ah, just to put another layer of device indirection in there.
cjs: I see. Good thought.
cjs, that way gparted sees a device file (/dev/loop0) which is sent back to the device /dev/mapper/whatever and is hopefully happy (since for whatever reason it doesn't want to deal with the /dev/mapper type devices)
s/cjs/escott/ :-)
its probably got some "intelligence" and wants to correct you when you point it at /dev/mapper and try to get back to the raw disk... stupid program
escott: But wait. I just tried, "gparted /dev/mapper/guestvol", and it worked this time. Sheesh.
is there a software to recover crashed hard disk?
insano, http://www.gnupg.org/gph/en/manual.html#AEN305
escott: Gargh. But it won't let me resize. I can bring up the resize window, but not change sizes and the "resize" button is greyed out.
software to remove bad sectors?
researcher123, standard practice is to create a disk image with "dd noerror if=/dev/sdX# of=/root/sdX#.img" and work with the image file. you can loop mount that image file, run fsck etc
researcher123: What do you mean by recover (retrieve all the data off it?) and what do you mean by crash (Gives some IO errors, but is still visible?)?
Also, what does the warning sign (exclamation mark in a yellow triangle) on a partition as shown in gparted mean?
escott: It developed bad sectors.Anything to recover data?
Jordan_U:  It developed bad sectors.
researcher123: Do you have another drive which is large enough to hold an entire image of the failed drive?
Oh, that would be, "e2label: no such file or directory while trying to open /dev/mapper/dyadic-t1p1." Hm. Ok, let's give kpartx a go. It might be ok, since we're not creating new partitions.
Jordan_U: yes Another hard disk available
escott: By the way, "ddrescue" is much better than simply dd with noerror for this type of thing.
researcher123: I would recommend using GNU ddresceu (*not* the similarly named but highly inferior dd_rescue) to make an image of the failed drive then.
Jordan_U: ok
lol ubottu is a bot I assume? That's just.... Retro.
Jordan_U: is it a sftware or a command?
researcher123: It is a command (which means that it's also software, as all commands are).
anyone had problems with slow boot on 12.04?
researcher123: http://www.gnu.org/software/ddrescue/manual/ddrescue_manual.html#Examples
I'm using version 10 Bekor
Jordan_U, was there ever an OS that had a basic command or syscall which directly went to hardware.... probably
is it going well for you?
Yeah I'm liking it.
nice
Of course I'm new to Ubuntu as well as Linux itself.
Only reason I got into this OS was because of my college courses haha.
the death of nix. thanks Bill G.
if it was not for the five year support with 12.04 i would switch myself
I should've been using it before though. Been a Windows user too long.
its not a fucking Pc is a Mc
I've got to learn all the commands for the Terminal.
yes used any wine programs yet?
eat it.
sure
haha! Really Beckor? Yeah, we're learning Wine now :D
yes
But I think this is just a basic overview of Ubuntu.
nice
Well be taking a full Linux course next semester :D
I'm excited
ihave some nice programs runnin g with wine
I'll talk more during the commercials Bekor. I'm quite interested about the wine programs if you don't mind sharing some info on it.
wher you go to school?
rinches you want to go to that channel?
researcher123: Note that while all of the examples given there are recovering from one drive to another drive (wiping the second drive in the process) you can just as easily recover to a file by doing something like "ddrescue /dev/sda /path/to/disk.img /path/to/log.txt" (and like it says, don't forget to include the log file).
can someone explain why when i installed precise in a virtualbox vm with 15G of virtual hard drive space, i only result in about 6G of actual space on / ?
Jordan_U: ok
jetsaredim: Can you pastebin the output of "sudo parted -l" and "df -h"?
Hi gang!  When I try to download a 64 bit iso of ubuntu, it says amd64.  I'm installing this on an Intel i7. Have they got the intel and AMD versions rolled into the same ISO?
dsnyders: "amd64" is just the name of the architecture, you can use it
why amd why ?
dsnyders: basically, amd beat intel to it :)
do they have contract with them to make advert
are there any ftp clients for linux that show global speed
Jordan_U: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1344296/
Dice-Man, it is no more an advertisement than calling something an IBM compatible PC.
jrib, Okieday.  I'll try the ubuntu-12.10-desktop-amd64.iso and see what happens.
escott: Ok, I see what you were saying here, and I think that this can work when I'm shrinking. Basically, I use kpartx to create devices for the partitions, run gparted, shrink, exit, and use kpartx again to remove the devices.
jetsaredim: Well, you have 10 GiB of swap, which is more than a little overkill.
jetsaredim, you have a 10GB swap for some stupid reason
yea that seems odd
cjs, yeah that would make sense. gparted needs to access the interior partition device to do the shrink... hadn't thought of that myself but yes
escott: The issue is, of course, that it seems gparted is relying on the kernel to update the partition devices after a partition table change, which won't happen with the devices created by kpartx. So I need to be careful, after changing the size or position of any partition, to immediately exit and delete the kpartx devices that now map a different set of blocks on the disk than the partition table does.
escott: gpartx just uses external tools on kernel-created partition devices to do the resize etc. That's the key.
jetsaredim, boot the vm with the install cd. use gparted to delete the extended partition and create a new one with a reasonable swap size, and then grow the root partitoin
Will 12.10 Desktop make a good host OS for virtual machines?
escott: looks like i fat-fingered the virtual memory size
cjs, yeah... i would have just booted the livecd image but :)
dsnyders, sure. i wouldn't run Google on the ubuntu-desktop kernel but its fine
escott: I think you may be right. :-)
cjs, you learned something... now you know why it is better to do the livecd rather than just assuming
escott: Either that, or I need a clever script such as https://letitknow.wordpress.com/2012/01/04/resizing-lvm-disks-in-kvm-from-host/
Hm. I got a ways along, but after a fresh kpartx setup, "mkswap /dev/mapper/guestvolp2" gives me, "device or resource busy." I can dd off and on to that device. Any thoughts on what's up with mkswap?
cjs, check that the host isn't using that swap
escott: It's not a swap yet! :-)
cjs, lsof?
(This is a new partition in that lvm disk image.)
The device didn't even exist a second ago, until I used kpartx to create it.
escott: Oh, uh oh. Doing a kpartx -d didn't work, and left old devices around. Now I've got problems!
escott: I guess kpartx reads the partition table to decide what devices to delete, and when I deleted partitions, it couldn't then delete the devices it had previously created from those partitions.
What fun!
Now how is it that the kpartx-created devices don't get listed in losetup -a?
cjs, i dont think they are lo devices... aren't they dm devices?
escott: Oh, that explains it.
gear wpn111 usb wireless adapter. It works fine with windows but for some reason i cannot get it to work with ubuntu 12.04 I installed the .inf file using windows wireless drivers it shows that it is present but in network connections i dont see any routers?
hi
escott: So, I can't dmsetup remove the device, due to it being busy, and you're saying I should use lsof to find the process using it and kill that, right?
hey guys, if I have a loosy link, and I always get timed out problem on service, should I adjust keepalive time longer or shorter ?

 hi comunity which command is used to find the full location of file for example I want to search the full path of file "alpha-gcc" I want to put full path for this file in my script
cjs: Can you pastebin the contents of /proc/mounts?
talpur: which alpha-gcc
talpur, locate alpha-gcc
yes locating alpha-gcc
Hello I have a usb netgear wpn111 usb wireless adapter. It works fine with windows but for some reason i cannot get it to work with ubuntu 12.04 I installed the .inf file using windows wireless drivers it shows that it is present but in network connections i dont see any routers?
jarden_U: kindly write me the command
Jarden_U: locate doesn't work
escott: locate doesn't work
talpur: The exact command is "which alpha-gcc".
Jordan_U: Actually, I found the problem: it was a typo. dmsetup did work fine to remove the mappings created by kpartx that I didn't want.
Jordan_U: thanks I am trying it
talpur: You're welcome.
is there a command line for accessing a hard disk which developed bad sectors?
escott: and Jordan_U: kindly see he snip of my command and help to reslove http://paste.ubuntu.com/1344348/
is it possible to see  the history of all command issued from CLI since the installation of my system?
Jordan_U: kindly see he snip of my command and help to reslove http://paste.ubuntu.com/1344348/
talpur, updatedb/locate will not index your $HOME. which only shows executables in your $PATH
how connect irc chanel port? please help me
escott: sorry I couldn't understand
researcher123, not likely. there is the bash history but its not long enough
hi
escott: how can I access that?
talpur, there is a variable PATH (run "echo $PATH") which lists paths to search for programs. you type "ls" it search the paths in $PATH to find /usr/bin/ls. which searches $PATH and tells you what would be executed if you typed in ls. updatedb/locate are tools for finding files in general (not just binaries) but does not index or search your $HOME
researcher123, history
escott: ok
escott: locate does index your home directory by default.
Jordan_U, so it does... where does it keep that information or is locate setuid?
escott: /var/lib/mlocate/mlocate.db , and no update-db needs to be run with sudo by default.
Jordan_U, i'm wondering what prevents me from running locate and seeing files listed in another users $HOME
hola
escott: Good question, looks like locate is indeed setuid.
Hey guys, I'm about to take the plunge and switch from Windows 7 to Ubuntu. If I use the "Windows installer," will it let me reformat/wipe my hard drive before installing?
Hello.
timwis: Avoid Wubi.
Jordan_U, i've seen it configured such that individuals can keep their own personal mlocate.db in their $HOME, and the system updatedb does not index their files. i think that way it drops the setuid requirement
Jordan_U: Okay, thanks. In that case, do I need a dedicated USB thumb drive or can I keep the files I have on tthere?
Jordan_U, but evidently the locate binary keeps track of what is readable by whom... because locate id_rsa does not show /root/.ssh/id_rsa for me, but it does show it for sudo locate id_rsa (as well as showing my $HOME/.ssh/id_rsa)

can anyone recommend some performance monitoring graphs for unity?
ruhil: you already have lots of wireless drivers
cbeust: okay i wanna to install broadcom one
ruhil: you already have lots of broadcom ones
cbeust: can you guide me how should i need to install
cbeust: then how to enable them or connect them
ruhil: what makes you think you need to install one instead of using one of the drivers that is already installed?
Flynsarmy, you could check the bug-reports. I've never had a problem but i'm small scale. you also have to consider what you are comparing against
I recently installed ubuntu 12.10 on my laptop, and I can't figure out how to enable horizontal scrolling on my touchpad.  Does anyone have any suggestions for me please?
cbeust: right now i am in my college network there are some wi-fi i wanna to connect them then how sould i serach thme or connect them and how to enalble them
cbeust: then tell how i can use my already installed drivers
ruhil: do you see a network icon in the upper right?
cbeust: yes
ruhil: and if you click it, do you see a list of wireless networks?
cbeust: there is no list of wirless network
showing your wireless is disabled by hardware switch
ruhil: do you know where your hardware switch is?
checked md5sum, different methods to create the usb disk and difference usb disks
cbeust: no , i have dual installtion with window
in window it works
it seems I need to use alternate iso
ympsinc, does your bios support USB boot
I am trying to install on  a mac mini
is there a better channel for Lubuntu PPC questions?
ruhil: sounds like you need to look around for the hardware switch that turns on your wireless, which maybe is something like "Fn+F5" or something
cbeust: let me check
Now I have a dilima, Use 12:04.1 vs simplymepis
cbeust: i am not able found but i trying wait
yes, it does support usb
Does anyone know how I can enable horizontal scrolling with my touchpad in ubuntu 12.10?
cbeust: not able to find , theer no icon for that on my function keys
cbeust: one more problem i had with viao e series that
cbeust: it doesn't connect my one 3g usb dongel for internet
ympsinc, mac-mini... efi is probably the issue here
cbeust: but my other dongel it detects
lappy_: System Settings/Mouse and Touchpad/Touchpad/Enable horizontal scrolling?
cbeust: whenever i need connect my first internet then , first enable my 2nd 3g dongel then connect it shows it's reconnization
what exactly the problem is'
trism: I'm using LXDE rather than Unity.  And, I don't see any option for horizontal scrolling in LXDE's mouse menu.
okay for that should need to install any usb driver
lappy_: I have no idea about lxde, sorry
trism: Ah well, thanks for trying man.
I don't suppose anyone on here knows anything about LXDE?  Or knows another channel where I would be better off seeking help?
lappy_: seems the option it sets in synclient is: syclient HorizTwoFingerScroll=1
trism: I'm afraid I'm still pretty new to linux/ubuntu.  What is synclient?
lappy_: open a terminal and type in: synclient HorizTwoFingerScroll=1; it lets you interact with the synaptics settings for your touchpad
trism: Oh wow, I feel like a chump!  I'm pretty sure it was enabled this whole time.  I just didn't know it was 2 fingers, instead of 1.
lappy_: at least it's working
trism: true enough.  Well thank you very much for the help!  I really do appreciate it!
Oh man, this synclient thing is just what I was looking for!  Now I can turn on edge scrolling.  Great!
good luck
Hey guys, how do I dual boot Win 7 and Ubuntu with Ubuntu already installed?
what script runs the dhcp client on a fresh install of 12.10?
shazer[2],install your windows on separate partiition and don't touch your linux...and if has finished, repair/reinstall your grub loader
blackshirt, so how do I create the partition?
gparteD?
don't forget to make backups your important data
resize it and create it in gparted, reformat it in windows install
I don't want to ruin Ubuntu :/
http://storage3.static.itmages.com/i/12/1109/h_1352437194_4269127_7e692ac6ae.png
As you can see, what would I do?
Shazer[2], so you installed windows after ubuntu?
thiebaude, haven't installed Windows yet, but currently on ubuntu, yes.
So I will be installing Windows after Ubuntu
after installing isc-dhcp-server (for my internal network), now my dhcp client is not working to get an IP from the cable modem.
just install windows first then ubuntu then you have no problems, if you can
resize your EXT4 sdb1 partiton to what you want your windows partiton to be at
AzureX, alright.
How much would you allocate for Windows 7?
And do I unmount it first?
depends on hard drive space
TBH the whole drive windows 7 takes alot just for the os
Shazer[2], its one hard drive?
but lets make it
Well, that's my SSD, I also have a 1TB HDD
20-25gb
OK
25GB it is.
maybe smaller
So I unount first, AzureX?
yes, i would be doing this in a live cd if you arent already Shazer
AzureX, what?
Live CD?
Ubuntu has been my OS for past few months, I just want to install Windows alongside
Can I PM you, AzureX, be much easier :/
Shazer, if that EXT4 sdb1 is the partiton you are currently running Ubuntu from, i would get the latest Ubuntu Live CD
Yes
hi
Shazer[2], maybe its a good idea to make an image of your bootloader in the bootsector with dd, so you could boot into live CD after installing windows and just copy it back.
So confusing!!
hola
hola guest72615
Is the boot rescue live cd still around these days? there was a cd long time ago that automated fixing grub 2

is it possible to run a android on ubuntu?
android app
neo69: there are a emulators.
escott, thanks! , looks like its Next and Prior
how does the ubuntu 4 android do it w/ sharing the kernel directly I thought??
reserving the right 2 b wrong
AzureX: any suggestions
?
KeviNjLauseN, its a bit easier to go the other way as (currently) android kernel is vanilla + wakelocks
somsip: I what pokerstars app, then I use wine
want*
neo69: you just asked about android apps. Why are you now talking about wine?
rinzler sent you a pm
did every1 hear bout the steam beta leak...:/
somsip: to emulate android why not emulate win?
My gaming machine's wifi adapter is burnt so I can't right now
neo69: you want to run an android emulator for win32 under wine?
is there a major issue going on with flash on amd64?
jetsaredim, haven't heard of any
there is a PPA in alpha 4 android eclipse + pre-configured android emu I'll google it...
somsip: no, I want to run pokerstars app, but I thought if it was android it would be more easy, if it is not I'll use wine
escott: every time i attempt to play a flash video it goes in hyper fast speed for the first 4 or so minutes
i am using the totem movie player as it comes with the default 12.10 amd-64 distro of ubuntu.  i have selected a .sub file for my movie, but the subtitles are advancing much more rapidly than the movie.  how do i synchronize the progress rates?
KeviNjLauseN: is this of use? http://www.android-x86.org/download
https://encrypted.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=ppa%20download%20android%20emulator&source=web&cd=1&cad=rja&ved=0CDAQFjAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.upubuntu.com%2F2012%2F05%2Fhow-to-install-android-sdk-release-18.html&ei=ipOcUL-nNYGk8QS12YGgAg&usg=AFQjCNF4txfjVEb0drSd_dbrbMVLJ87cCQ
neo69: you'd need an android emulator. You could use the one I just posted for KeviNjLauseN in something like virtualbox, or you could download the android SDK which has an emulator in it.
i searched google for "totem movie player subtitles too fast," but this may be an ineffective way to find what i am looking for
nero: 69 that's what the article/Blog describes 4 ubuntu
anyone?
talpaswarrior, Are you certain you have the correct subtitle file? Can you confirm with another player?
talpaswarrior: most sub files use frame counters or timing markers to show the subtitles. You can use something like Gaupol to shift the subtitles 0.X seconds in any direction. I don't see anything about media players supporting this though
i only have the default software.  however, i downloaded the movie with the torrent packaged together.  it is from a reputable source, so i doubt that is the problem.  i feel it is a problem in the interpretation or in displaying them altogether, since, regardless of the aspect ratio, i can only see a small portion of the top of the letters which comprise the subtitles.
+i
talpaswarrior: then I immediately find that G and H do the same in VLC. Totem...no idea
shifting them in a general direction would yield to be useless, as their spacing in time would be unaffected, which is the problem.
Hi, I'm looking to make a init script to start a program when the os starts. Do I simply add a file with the command in /etc/init.d/ ?
talpaswarrior, Have you tried playing in vlc?
i will download it from the software center and report back.  thanks.
Ok
Hello I wanted to know how I can wget all dependencies for the latest google-chrome stable
tejaswidp: why do yuo want to use wget?
I do not have an internet connection on the computer on which I want to install chrome
and I am testing a django project on it
does the plugin for adobe flash player have poor memory management?  if i try to view more than one or two videos at a time, the frame rate of the videos decrease dramatically.  i have 4 GB of DDR3 ram and a 1 GB vram pci express graphics card, so i doubt my system resources are the culprit.
also I can't use apt because I'm on arch
talpaswarrior, it does have indeed
reazim2 and somsip, thanks for the suggestions.  vlc worked perfectly.

I just updated to 12.04 how do I change the UI
I found this article: http://askubuntu.com/questions/68306/how-do-i-restore-default-video-drivers and I need to convert the first step of the first answer to nvidia specific instructions.
tejaswidp: Here's a dump I've just done for you http://paste.ubuntu.com/1344462/
is there a better ffmpeg to use? I used to get ~160fps encoding on 10.04, and now getting ~90fps on 12.04
im looking for a package to measure wifi range(how far it goes)
lotuspsychje: you can measure the signal strength - but not the range
robinp:how can i measure strength?
I have a networking Q, can anyone help?
lotuspsychje: there are command line tools that will do it
lotuspsychje: or kismet i think does it as well
RCollett: shoot - i might be able to help
robinp:ok tnx
so I had several extra IP addresses assigned to my eth0
I use the command "ip addr add  192.168.111.20/24 brd + dev eth0" to add them
RCollett: yeah - that adds them to the route table
I just did a dist upgrade from 8.04 to 12.04, and even though the "ip addr show" lists those addresses, I can't ping them
so can you see the address in 'ifconfig'
and do they appear in the route table
ah.  They show up in the "ip addr show", but not in "ifconfig"
what would that mean?
This upstart thing doesn't seem to work at all :/ can I just add it the hard way into /init.d/ ?
RCollett: http://code.seanodonnell.com/?id=2
I have a process that runs for a split second, how can I see what it was?
Ben64, how do you know it is running?
let me explain a bit more. when i press a multimedia key, it tries to run ephiphany, but I don't have it installed. I want to configure what it does instead of it stuck on epiphany. So I was thinking having that information would help
Ben64, probably not. its just in the keyboard shortcuts which is under keyboard preferences i believe
nope, not there
robinp: I'll try that, but I was under the impression that using ifconfig to define IP aliases (eg eth0:1) was the OLD way of doing it.  That the ip command was the new way.
I did IP aliases way back on Redhat 8 for example..
can someone recommend a good temperature monitoring gadget/widget for my desktop or even the unity side pannel?
Ben64, i see the shortcuts there. looks like the preferred applications might need to be changed elsewhere
RCollett: I'm not sure sorry - you might just have to do some googling
somebody pls help me to find how to co
is there any application in ubuntu to manage android phone contacts??
is there any application in ubuntu to manage android phone contacts??
escott: well part of it is i'm using mate, which I know isn't supported here but there is no other option if I want gnome but not unity
Ben64, no its not supported here
Ben64, unity isn't hard-coded into gnome3. You could use gnome-shell, cinnamon, ...
sudhin: those contacts are in some formatted style, is the method common to both android and linux? like google contacts would be
I don't think cinnamon is supported either
did I do something wrong burning alternate.iso 12.04 to 1Gig flash drive using unetbootin, and installing 10+ hours to Asus eeepc 512MB/ 4G drive (3.5GB BTRFS, 512MB Swap)?
Ben64, hmm... since when are only default packages/applications supported in here?
nikolam: you want noatime enabled
installing very slowly with hdd light burning
nikolam: noatime
laptop battery is not  properly utilized ubuntu 12.04
 laptop battery is not  properly utilized ubuntu 12.04
orlok, that is great idea but alternate console does not give it ot me. Maybe use desktop .iso to the usb flash?
 laptop battery is not  properly utilized ubuntu 12.04
Can I add a comment/description/etc beside a ufw rule?
sudhin, unless it explodes, You should file bug report on that I suppose.
nikolam: do you have a shell available where you can remount something with noatime?
I might see about writing a tiny bash script wrapper to do it.. hmm
orlok I see. Yes, there is the console. I could stop 10 hours 77% install and get back to it after that later then
nikolam: you should be able to remount it without disrupting the install
orlok, i see, will try :)
nikolam: basically, flash has slow write speeds, especially for small writes
actually, i'm not sure how much difference it makes during the install
but its worthwhile on a flash based ntbook
orlok, it used to be much better with 10.04/ext4 but I wanter Btrfs :)
otherwise every time a file is accessed, it will try to update its access time, causing a write to happen
oh, btrfs, not sure then
orlok, maybe I shoult kill install process first before umounting?
*shrug*
i dont know anything about btrfs
orlok, I watched video from oracle dev the other day, it is in suse and preparing for their enterprise linux, so must be good enough in some next iteration. It is cool, reminds mostly to ZFS, but without zfs send and deduplication.
rumpe1: since forever
and it can combine raid levels across volumes, on same set of dists at the same time.
Aww some guy left mid way helping me :(
and it is copy on write, blah blah, using checksums to recover on disk failures of blocks \
Ben64, so... no synaptic, no k3b, no kde, no xfce, no apache... makes no sense
nikolam, and its slow as molasses in alaska
is there any way set passwords for grub??
rumpe1: doesn't cinnamon require a ppa?
Can anyone else that knows anything about clonezilla help me?

split into volumes is grayed out
10.04
MaGeD_, is it big enough to split?
escott, hm, I figured something is strange on my desktop machine install, it install packages for a long time. Should test speed...
yes
i installed rar and split is working
nikolam, its unusable with fsync. install eatmydata
only with rar
nikolam, and then symlink /usr/local/bin/dpkg to /usr/bin/eatmydata
i have fresh install ubuntu 12.10 then i update it and then upgrade now, when i install vim, following is the error message it is giving :- $ sudo apt-get install vim
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
Does anyone know of a way to map localhost:XXX to "logicalname" or even "logical.name" so I'd want to be able to type "ssh logicalname" ?
nikolam, you'll need to do the same for apt-get and any thing else that fsyncs... firefox in particular needs to be taken out back and shot
aum__: do sudo apt-get update first.
Locus_Asaf, ~/.ssh/config
the_dark_knight, i have done that...
aum__: so did it update your machine?
yes
aum__: maybe do "sudo apt-get upgrade" and then try doing "sudo apt-get install vim"
escott: is it also possible to type "logicalname" into a browser somehow?
the_dark_knight, done that too...
aum__: so?
Locus_Asaf, im not at all clear on what you are trying to do here
it upgrades fine...
Someone please help
Locus_Asaf, why would you be doing ssh in a browser?
Shazer[2]: not to overstate the obvious, ask the question!
and every time after some while the system gives " ubuntu 12.10  has experienced an internal error " and ask me to send crash report...
escott: I didn't mean doing SSH in a browser rather if the address is also a webserver that I'd like to access from a browser
i see escott it is great idea to speed it up with eatmmydata, but mostly eatmydata description calls for dpkg/synaptic changes itself, not doing to much fsync. Thanks a lot
aum__: may this helps you http://askubuntu.com/questions/140246/how-do-i-resolve-unmet-dependencies
escott: Instead of typing localhost:XXX for a development web box in my browser I could just write "logicalname"
Shazer[2]: please take that to #windowz
I was getting help from someone called AzureX but he left mid way now I have used clonezilla to clone my Ubuntu partition but I don't know what to do next
:(
escott: make sense?
Locus_Asaf, i dont know of an easy way to do that. http://hostname means port 80. you could have apache running on 80 and redirecting conditioned on something in the name to send you to another port. you can't put it in /etc/hostname because thats for hostname resolution not for port resolution
hello. i installed ubuntu 12.10 but i dont get any screen when it is attached to my 5.1 receiver
when i attach it directly to the tv its fine. ironically with the live cd it works
nikolam, if they ever get the FS working well enough for sane people to use it the dpkg guys will make a version without fsyncs and just snapshot the OS prior to install
not even grub shows
nikolam, until then you gotta PRELOAD those into oblivian
escott: maybe I should look into browser plugins...
aum__: whats going on? did you solve it?
escott, that's right. that is like it is done on zfs/other platforms. They just snapshot prior install.
how to set password for grub??
or I can do snapshot myself prior large installes, without fsync
inhies:
how to set password for grub??
how to set password for grub??
nikolam, they do snapshots before do-release-upgrade at this point
dont spam
almoxarife how would I completely wipe Ubuntu?
Shazer[2]: delete the partition
From live CD?
does anyone have an idea why ubuntu (not gentoo or archlinux) has display problems when attached to my AV receiver? not even grub shows. when i attach it directly to the TV it works... the live cd doesnt have a problem with my AV receiver. its an intel card and i'm using HDMI
the_dark_knight, no, i followed the link , done everything , nothing happens...
soomon, possibly the av receiver is taking a resolution not compatible with your tv
almoxarife will I delete via live cd?
Hey guys. How do I remove a symlink created by this? ln -s /home/name/lol/bin/exec /usr/local/bin
with other distributiont (completely othe rhard drive, grub version etc it works). so there must be a strange difference. also the livecd works when attached to the receiver...
Would it be possible to make a virtual reverse keyboard to control another system that accepts usb keyboard inputs?
This is a very obscure request I'm just looking to control an android phone via keyboard input through the USB port.
i also tried forcing grub to take a certain resolution. didn thelp
Apparently there is USB gadget mode http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3698709/simulating-a-keyboards-output-making-a-computer-pose-as-another-computers-key
the_dark_knight, now can you tell me how to roll back a package it seems i have updated version of vim-common and i need the previous version .
hello..howcome i dont see boot menu selection at grub screen during booting..only purple screen is showing..
the_dark_knight, ok i found the solution that might help others , remove that dependent package -> then install the package you want to -> that will install the proper dependent package :)
So what do I do in order to install the proprietary ATI video drivers in 12.10?  I installed the fglrx package from the software center, but then I had a low resolution display and Unity wouldn't load.
w
Are there any known ussues with the nvidia gtx 670 card @ 1080p?
Umm... I installed the proprietary nvidia drivers and all I see is my low res background without unity...
can i install ubuntu on an external hard drive and boot from it?
yes zelos
Whats better for iptables rules, starting them before or after the networking interfaces start? (pre/post-up)
soomon, what do i do, just manually edit the partitions?
and install the bootloader onto the external drive
when u want to use ut use ur bios function to boot from that hard drive
so ill have to do the bootloader seperatly?
install th ebootloader onto the external drive. ubuntu will ask you where to install it
ah, ok
thanks soomon
hey guys would love help using rename command: if I have a folder of files called 'artist - album - 01 xyz' 'artist - album - 02 xyz' etc.
how do I reduce it to '01 xyz' '02 xyz'?

tamborello, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1194143
bpuzzled, i got nmap 5.61LETS version
W|cKeD: run the command "which nmap"
bpuzzled, /usr/local/bin/nmap <--- got this output
W|cKeD: that looks like you compiled it from source at some point -- did you download the tar.gz file and do "make install"?
where do I need to set/export the CATALINA_OPTS variable for tomcat?
doesn't help brandon420
bpuzzled, i don't remember actually its been there for years just happend to see a newer version of nmap but when i do update/upgrade seems i still got the old version so that's why i'm plannin to remove the older one and do install the newer version is it possible?
W|cKeD: if you installed it from source, you might still have the original build directory around.  if so, you might be able to do "make uninstall" in it.
W|cKeD: if not, I guess that you could download the source archive, and do "make uninstall".
might work. :)
was looking to use this board on a build untill i read the red remark at the bottom concerning linux:   http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=4046#sp

hey, when i write in terminal: Firefox         My firefox star but is there a way to give the instruction what url i wanna go to in the same line of command?
W|cKeD: for the sake of answering this in the channel as well: download the tar ball from www.nmap.org, extract, configure and make uninstall: tar xvjf nmap-6.01.tar.bz2 && cd nmap-6.01 && ./configure && sudo make uninstall
Guest18336: Just append the URL to the command, i.e.:

:( locked outta my own home dir.. gr8
Someone help?
guys would you say kde is more advanced and for advanced users mor ethen unity?
Fuzzles, yes.
Fuzzles: yes
Fuzzles, well i wouldnt say its just for advanced users. But it is way more advanced in terms of function than Unity
Fuzzles: not so much for advanced users, for users who want control over the whole configuration of their desktop
more advanced, more stable, and faster.
anyone know anything about accessing your encrypted home directory as root from command prompt?
almoxarife, ok thanks
where can i get source code of ubuntu 12.10 /12.04
nicekiwi: if you don't have the passphrase, you won't get access -- even as root.
bpuzzled, i DO have the passphrase. thats the %$%&$^*ing annoying thing.
http://pastebin.com/BtRZt9Dm
this is my issue.  i need to get things so i have normal icons recursively
i'm using XFS
nicekiwi: this might be promising: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EncryptedPrivateDirectory
bpuzzled, yeah ive been there.. was 100% unhelpful. :(
:/
bpuzzled, btw.. what is the passphrase? is it the text I typed in when I setup the passphrase or is it the hash that was returned?
nicekiwi: the text you entered.
bpuzzled, ah.. i was afraid of that..
having to remember a hash would suck. :)
killer, goto software centre, edit sources, and enable soursecode.
bpuzzled, im 100% screwed now.. I was hoping it was the hash so maybe i just made a typo.. but i know the text i typed in and it dosnt work :(
bpuzzled, good thing it was only a fresh install. :P Hello Installation round 2! :D
nicekiwi: did you include any characters that might be different if the installer used a US keyboard mapping?  e.g. " might actually be @.
bpuzzled, I dont belive so. only a #
and my local uses the US keyboard mapping
bpuzzled, ecryptfs-mount-private keeps giving me errors.
bpuzzled, yeah ive hit that lil snag before. Not this time

killer, this may also help: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4767821/how-do-i-get-the-ubuntu-source-code
nicekiwi: what errors does ecryptfs-mount-private give you?
bpuzzled, open: no such file or directory, Error locking counter
nicekiwi: tbh, I've never used ecryptfs, but it sounds like ~/.ecryptfsrc is missing.
nicekiwi: you could find out for sure by doing: strace ecryptfs-mount-private | grep open
err
strace ecryptfs-mount-private 2>&1 | grep open
that'll show you the args to the `open' syscall that fails -- so you'll see which file it fails to open.
openjdk-7-jre its only a java runtime env not development kit
bpuzzled, eeks.. no idea what all that is. Im jsut gonna reinstall without encryption. this isnt worth understanding
nicekiwi: fair enough. :)
:)
savio: correct.  try openjdk-7-jdk if you want javac and friends.
bpuzzled, i'm wondering wt is difference between oracle java and openjdk
will java application effect
openjdk has no closed-source components, afaik.
your performance won't be affected, but if you use proprietary libs (I think some com.sun.* packages are), then they won't work.
in general, everything works fine with openjdk.
(though I haven't developed in java in years.)

while using tar command to make a tar archive I got the error: File shrank by 108107 bytes; padding with zeros. how can I fix this?
nguyenduy: did something modify one of the files you were putting into the archive? that might be the cause for such an error message.
Hi SwedeMike, I am in the progress of backing up a website from a remote server (I did not develop it), so, unluckily, I don't what's wrong with the file. :(. Is there any general solution for that?
how can I test the microphone with google talk?
I'd like to know if the sound is ok there
does anyone have a gmail accound and wants to help me with this?

i have a question: now i'm using a LTE version of ubuntu 10.04.4 that doesn't have all the programs updated to the latest version unlike other linux distros... is there a possibility to update them?
pochefuok, one step upgrade:   LTS to LTS   10.04 to 12.04
auronandace, I just want to know if my microphone sounds ok, and nobody is online to test that
is it possible to use let unity use chromium instead of firefox for unity's "webapps"?
nguyenduy: the thing that happened (my guess) is that tar made a file list to back up, then during the execution of that backup, a file changed. Depending on what file that is, this might be a problem or not.
oh. it does? odd?
weird
ix_: doesn't google talk only work in the us?
auronandace, no
mmm i see... but the latest version of some programs include other features that now i'm not able to use... for example i cannot use in gimp 2.6 many scripts that i downloaded from web that were built up for the latest version
bazhang, gnome 3 is not good for me...
anyone with a gmail account wants to help me test my microphone settings?
pochefuok: there are more options than just gnome3
pochefuok, install gnome-panel , it looks like Classic GNOME2

@johey how can I clean the /run/lock ?  where can I resize the tmpfs /run/lock ? it isnt mentioned in /etc/fstab but mount shows it
sudhin: what purpose? playback or ... ?
playback.
why not just find mplayer and vlc deb?
rhinux: Sorry, I don't know. Mine says 0 used.
need help, i have arm device from fujit*ch and it's closed source, i cant make connection through ftp,ssh,telnet moreover on serial (uart) any idea how to explore this board ? thx in advance
rhinux: Sorry then I don't know what can be wrong. This is perhaps not the recommended solution, but in your case I would try renaming my home directory and create a new one. Perhaps it is something in your configuration that renders the chrasch.
hmm, why isn't there a live markdown preview app? :/
cnf: markdown is what? html?
brontosaurusrex: markdown is text
you render it to html
make a backup dir and  move the configs to it. easier then renameing home.
cnf: a random browser with auto-refresh extension?
on osx i use http://markedapp.com/
brontosaurusrex: and a file watcher, that triggers the markdown compiler? sure, sure, i know how to do things manually
brontosaurusrex: not what i'm asking though, is it?
dr_willis: True, if you know exactly which configs are problematic. False otherwise.
anyone would be so kind enough to asnwer my question?
move tgem all. ;-)
cnf: i was at the faze of trying to understand your question.........
but what app are we talking about
dr_willis: He can't log in.
brontosaurusrex: check http://markedapp.com/
brontosaurusrex: that, for linux
andr34s: I guess nobody can answer that question.
johey: mist of the time i see that here its due to   .Xauthority
any clue where i should discuss arm topic johey?
v
andr34s: At some hardware hacking forum perhaps.
brontosaurusrex: i write all my text in markdown (in vim, mostly)
ive seen use of sudo sometimes set wrong owner of. Xauthority
just sometimes, you want a live preview of what you are writing
cnf: sorry, i have no clue what is that and for what purpose should be used ...
ok thx johey :D
brontosaurusrex: what is what?
rhinux: Look at dr_willis answer. It might be .Xauthority.
cnf: iam sure someone more knowledgable will show up
sooo, I copied the google-talkplugin over to quantal from my abandoned arch linux distribution and suddenly google talk works with that one. that's strange. Do I now have to assume that google's own package is faulty?
Hi, i recently burned ubuntu 12.10 to a live usb with liveusbcreator (www.linuxliveusb.com). After login in with the ubuntu user, i have an console, but nothing else... can anybody tell me, how to install ubuntu from there?
Or is there any way of changing to graphic mode or something like this? When I installed the last Ubuntu, in graphics mode, I just chose "install" and the graphical dialogue started..
#ubuntu-cn
join #ubuntu_zhcn
join #ubuntu_zh-cn
cnf: so good old text is not good enough for you? any special reasons?
o,O
cnf: nobody will read it anyway
brontosaurusrex: markdown IS text
cnf: no, its a silly abstraction layer
and how the hell do you know what will be read?
cnf: i meant the raw form
brontosaurusrex: you know what is silly? you talking down to things you don't understand

Hi. Since I updated to 12.8, no usb-devices are recognized anymore. Anyone have an idea on why that could be?
Not recognized, meaning no change in dmesg when connected, no device popping up in /dev, nothing in lsusb
leave
Sharyari: usb subsystem modules loaded?
cnf: which ones?
leave
cnf: or actually, lsmod | grep usb gives me nothing at all. What should be loaded?
Sharyari: uhm, good question :P
lemme check
Sharyari: lsusb doesn't give anything either?
hello fellows
do you know of any simple mp3 converter such as youtube-mp3.org
cnf: some built-in things like fingerprint reader and stuff. So it's the usb-2 connections I guess
is there an online help for GIMP?
Sharyari: http://pastie.org/5350414 on my system
I have upgraded to 12.10, and I can't login to one of my accounts :( Really need help with this as I am work ;( any ideas people? I have deleted .XAuthority, but that didn't do anything?
hi, i have installed ubuntu 12.10 and it periodically freezes so that i have to reboot the computer... can any1 help me plz?
cnf: Loading all of those made no difference. Now I'm really confused
Did anyone use thunderbird's new chat functionality? does it integrate with messaging menu?
Is IRC good in thunderbird's chat?
Sharyari: so inserting a mouse shows no output in dmesg?
Sharyari: does it show up in lsusb?
don't have a mouse, but flash drive, webcam, tablet and mp3-player don't work
well mouse/whatever usb
cnf: yes, they load correctly without errors
cnf: Must go, but thank you for your time.
can't login as my user from before, after upgrading to 12.10... If I known it was going to break that, I wouldn't of done it :(
not impressed :(
untaken: how can you not login
Ben64: I can login from a terminal ie ctrl+alt+f1
but not from gdm
it tries something and then fails

having partitioning issues with xubuntu 12.10 (dualboot)
untaken: which desktop did you have before, which one are you trying to load now?
I reduced my windows partition by 500GB. I now have a 1450GB windows partition, 500GB unallocated, 50GB recovery partition and 1GB "OEM" partition
can't create new partition in the unallocated space from the live CD
and the automated partitioning options are "Replace Windows 7 with Xubuntu" and "Something else"
Ben64: I was actually using xmonad, using a .xsession file. so for the time being I have moved that a side, but still can't login to the normal ubuntu desktop or the xfce one
(this is an UEFI computer; using 64 bit live cd of course)
untaken: do you actually have those installed? Like try (in console) sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
Calinou: can't you do it manually in the installer
Ben64: guest works though. What I have done for the time being, is login as guest, create a new user and I am using that... but I really want the old user back
Calinou: if its an uefi device its using gpt instead of mdsos partition table. that is the reason. not everything is gpt capable so far. but since i dont use gpt i cant tell you more about it
untaken: check log files for a problem
I had a similar problem, forgot exactly what I did to fix it
Ben64: what log files in particular, any in /var/log you mean?
untaken: yeah
<Ben64> Calinou: can't you do it manually in the installer
nope. can't create new partitions in the unallocated space; the only thing I can do is create a new partition table (and this erases everything)
my computer does not recognize the graphics card, in systempreferences --> details there stand "graphics: unknown"... i have a nvidia graphics card and the xorg-log says that it can't load nvidia and nv, but nouveau

nv is an outdated and unsupported driver
the only "current" drivers are nouveau and nvidia
Calinou: yeah, but it gives the info that it loaded nouveau and in the details-window there stands "graphics: unknown" - thats my problem
Ok, I installed lightdm with a greeter and a window manager (ratpoison). Now when Ubuntu boots, I get the (I suppose) lightdm login prompt where I enter my password but after that it reboots. I wasn't able to find any info on why this is happening...

ugh... im getting an error message when I try to install the nvidia binary blob. It says it cant access the /tmp directory

how do I list folders with their permissons?
ls -l
Calinou, choose somehting else
Calinou, or use Gparted to setup ur partitions before you install
dr_willis, ty'
 ls -ld Desktop
drwxr-xr-x 2 willis willis 4096 Oct 18 21:19 Desktop
yes I did, can't create new partitions from there.
gparted can't create new partitions in the unallocated space too
hey everyone does anyone know about ubuntu home automatition?
Calinou:  ive seen where after resizeing ive had to reboot in order for gparted/the system to reread the disk partioning layoug
layout.
Calinou:  you could also post a screenshot of the gparted screen for us to check out.
dr_willis, any idea why a program being run as root couldnt create files or folders within /tmp?
nicekiwi:  / getting mounted read only due to fsck errors.. is one possibility
dr_willis: I resized partition from windows, if that's worth mentioning it.
try to create files or folders in terminal as root
windows still boots fortunately :)
helooooauauauaua
Calinou:  another possible issue is you have 4 primary partions somehow.  so cant make another.
dr_willis, hmm.. could be.. any way I could correct that? ls-l says the permissions are drwxrwxrwt root root
is the first sector (according to fdisk) sector number 0 or 1?
Calinou:  output of 'sudo fdisk -l' may give us a clue also.
nicekiwi:  can you make a file in / ? your  /tmp/ is not mounted to some tmpfs thing is it?  (mine is)
dr_willis: I have a GPT disk, so normally I'm able to create 128 partitions...
does "unallocated" count as a normal partition, preventing me from creating another partition?
dr_willis, well well, it says its read only. (Ive booted in recovery mode to root console)
dr_willis, how can I correct this? Ive checked/repaired the disk in Gparted from live CD and it didnt really seem to chnage anything
nicekiwi:  by default i think the recovery console does that. theres some option i thought in the recovery menus to remount it rw, or you can use the remount option to mount.
you fsck things WHEN they are Read Only.
or Unmounted.
if i recall correctly. thats the reason for the RO mounting
dr_willis, hmm l
i havent used the recovery console in ages.
dr_willis, oh yeah... it says it wants to re-mount in RW.. but it just sits for ages and wont actually do it
going to eat now, bye. I asked two questions on forums: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=12345235#post12345235 and http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=12345238#post12345238
dr_willis, this seemed to happen after the system frooze up during a file tranfer and i had to reboot.
i always boot from a live cd to do my fscking.
dr_willis, i just want to install nvidia drivers :'(
if you can get to a 2nd console, alt-ctrl-f2  see if you can check 'dmesg' command output
if the filesystem is currupted.. it needs to be fixed.
dr_willis, how do I fix it?
with the fsck command. :)  with the fs unmounted, or i think 'read only'
i normally boot a live cd, and use fsck from it.
dr_willis, how do i do that from a live usb?
via the fsck command..
* nicekiwi feels like he should really google it..
is there a way to determine why a package was installed, and what depends on it?
# fsck /dev/sda6
http://www.thegeekstuff.com/2012/08/fsck-command-examples/
dr_willis, ok, ive done that... took supprisingly short amount of time..
you can reboot back into 'text' mode and try to do whatever it is you were wanting to do. or try booting normally and see if it works
JorgeM
Hello all
dr_willis, text only mode isnt there though..

you add tghe 'text' option  via edting the grub options on its menu...
Is there a way to check what physical memory is installed on a physical box, via cli/shell on 11.10 ?
hi, i will install ubuntu on 64bit system with uefi, do i need to build GRUB2 like this link explains https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFIBooting or default grub2 that comes with ubuntu already have uefi support?
Haris:  perhaps hwinfo, there may be other tools.
dr_willis, and it hangs while going to RW again..
id boot a live cd, try fsck again, then check dmesg output as you try to mount the fs. it could be a flakey hard drive.
or check dmesg output now.. if you can
some tok'ra may help me out?
dr_willis: apt-get install hwinfo ?
if its not installed.. yes.
dr_willis, its an SSD i'll be majorly pissed if its dying..
nicekiwi:  ive not herad much about lifespan or reliabilty of ssd's
i got  one in this box. ;) been using it for a few mo now.
i also have a ssd in my computer, for nearly a year now, np until now ;)

Is there a way to increase the padding of the terminal?
Pickels: what do you mean by "padding"?
http://imgur.com/iumzv see how my vim is so close to the taskbar?
or application bars
i would like to have some padding there
here we go, 3rd installation for the night!
Pickels: are you looking for a vim-specific solution?
jrib: would be nice if it was the terminal that had padding.
Pickels: what is that?  gnome-terminal?
jrib: yup
Ok, I installed lightdm with a greeter and a window manager (ratpoison). Now when Ubuntu boots, I get the (I suppose) lightdm login prompt where I enter my password but after that it reboots. I wasn't able to find any info on why this is happening...
Pickels: are you willing to change terminal emulators?  Because I'm fairly certain that's easily done in urxvt.  Let see if anything comes up about gnome-terminal
why is my resolv.conf overwritten after every reboot?
and how do I add a permanent nameserver ?
where can I switch off the behaviour from quantal where it fetches i386 package lists? Is it recommended that it does this? Why?
I wand amd64 packages only :-)
anykey: have you installed amd64?
yes.
I still get i386 packages listed when I aptitude search.
anykey: do you have anything in  /etc/dpkg/dpkg.cfg.d/ ?
this makes the list doubly as long.
no
I didnt futz around with /etc/apt/* or /etc/dpkg/* much other than enabling the "partner" repos
grrr why is EVERYTHING crashing on startup >_>
erh, I dont have packages installed twice.
that is the thing: I don't *want* multiarch enabled.
anykey: anything interesting in /etc/dpkg/dpkg.cfg then? I think in 12.04 at least the standard place that a foreign arch was declared was in /etc/dpkg/dpkg.cfg/multiarch
maybe that moved in 12.10
no-debsig and log, no other entries
anykey: apparently you can do: dpkg --remove-architecture i386
I will try
I *think* skype has some i386 packages installed. what a pity.
anykey: dpkg -l | grep i386
yes
I did that
it's not empty.
Linkandzelda: 12.04?
does that mean I need multiarch for skype?
if so, I will... uh... come to terms with it.
anykey: guess so
:-(
oh well.
thanks anyway
I need to learn how to admin ubuntu fast, so if I am asking dumb questions, it's probably because the last contact with apt and dpkg was with Debian Etch

Why does ubuntu become sluggish when I open daash?
dash*
Pickels: if you must use gnome-terminal then I don't know if you what you ask is possible.  Investigate possible padding settings you can set related to gnome-terminal in ~/.config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini .  I don't know how you would find a list of such settings though.
jrib: thanks for looking into it. I researched it a little myself didn't find much. Ill just live with it for now.
Pickels: as I said, if you're willing to try a different terminal emulator, then rxvt-unicode should do what you want
jrib: yeah but might be a little over kill for such a small annoyance. Probably get used to it.
Pickels: yeah I use urxvt but don't like borders
how do I oot ubuntu into text only mode?
ThinkT510, you do realise theres nothing on that page about text only mode right?
nicekiwi: *read* what the bot said
jrib, very well. which line is the kernel line?
jrib: i think that factoid needs updating
you replace/change 'quiet splash' to be 'quiet text splash' or similer...
nicekiwi: why do you need this anyway?
ThinkT510: probably, yes
jrib, to conquer the galaxy.. or to boot into commandline to install Nvidia drivers
nicekiwi: why aren't you using the repositories?
jrib, cause I want the latest and jockey is known well to screw things up
...
nicekiwi: installing nvidia drivers manually is not advised, every time the kernel is updated you'll need to reinstall them
jrib, 3.04 are the latest drivers in the repos. 3.10 are the latest available.
ThinkT510, I dont really mind doing that.. assuming it was a simple affair to get into text onlymode :/
how do i tell chromium: allow fullscreen mode for site xy (or better yet, allow fullscreen for all INTRAnet sites) without silly warnings?
which program should I install to view pdf files
dr_willis, tried what you suggested. Normal GUI login followed
hi
dina_: evince is installed by default
nicekiwi: just replace "quite splash" with text when you are at grub
hello
hw can i make it the default program to open pdf
i have a problem opening pdf files after one of the updates
nicekiwi: and newest is not always the best. If the 3.04 drivers work, I'd advise sticking with them if they're provided through the repositories. This way you don't have to babysit your drivers and APT can do all the work for you
jrib, when I replace quiet splash with text my monitor just turns off.
hey anyone can tell me what is rpcbind for?
jrib, Valve requires 3.10
a manpage kinda of blow my mind
jrib, i dont mind doing work. If only i can get to the damn terminal
how do I kill X from console?
nicekiwi: that behavior with your monitor seems unusual.  Anyway, just do "stop lightdm"
if the system boots normally, you can stop X via 'sudo service lightdm stop' then install the nvidia.run drivers
shot it
nicekiwi
sudo pkill Xorg
jrib, i know i got some idea from man page but " It must be running on the host to be able to make
     RPC calls on a server on that machine." this line is not out of my world
savio:  you mean to ask 'whats rpc?'
jrib i am new... thank you Ubottu thank you
who has took RHCE
?
roasudy:  try #ubuntu-offtopic
dr_willis, rpc means remote procedure call use to make procedure call on server
savio:  so its not clear what you are asking.
dr_willis, just tell me why is needed? to make rpc call on server
Are there problems with ATI videocards and 12.10?
Pickels:  depends on the exact chipset, there can be issues.
dr_willis: I am getting sluggish visual effects. Could that be a driver problem? I know my questions are vague but trying to figure out why it's so slow.
Pickels:  could be you are using the open sourced drivers and not fglrx
dr_willis: I installed fglrx
could beits not being used.
savio, it's the port mapper
how do i kill ALL running x servers?
if the system boots normally, you can stop X via 'sudo service lightdm stop' then install the nvidia.run drivers
'sudo service lightdm stop' if you are running lightdm as your login manager. should stop X
dr_willis: is there a way to confirm that the drivers were installed correctly? fglrxinfo seems to be listing the correct data
i dont use ati/fglrx - so not sure
dr_willis, ty
Pickels: lsmod will show you what kernel modules are loaded (so you know which driver is in use)
Oh God not again..
ThinkT510: fglrx                4715211  325
ThinkT510: I guess it's installed correctly
Pickels: there you go then
How do I install the kernel source from console?
ThinkT510: visuals are still slow tho. For example when I do super + w and dash all hell breaks lose.
Pickels: i've never used fglrx
nicekiwi: what's the output of uname -a ?
darmok on the ocean
_cronus_, thanks

I'm searching for alternative to UISpy(Windows) in Ubuntu 12.10. Is there something similar to this program?

i'm right
sorry am i rifgt
right
YUS!!! 5 seperate installs of Ubuntu later and Nvidia drivers are installed and everything works perfectly! :d

hi.. how can i install broadcom-sta offline??
someone told me its a godless operating kernel, because it doesnt follow the genesis
Guest97291, you need to download broadcom sta package from internet and then have to compiled by yourself
Goauld: stop talking nonsense, this is a support channel, do you need support?
ok i ganjapologize, i wish 420 for anyone thanks for our support
just say no to thinking of the kernel as a religion
i am not kristen neel thank god
xserver-xorg-video-ati or fglrx or fglrx-updates?
savio: thnx
dr_willis: I've found gtk parasite but it isn't working in 12.10
savio, if i remember correctly servers register with rpc bind with the address they are listening and then when a client wants to communicate with the server, it asks rpcbind for its address
savio, so servers don't have to listen to well know ports

jValentin1: try accessing your share first in file manager by typing: smb://10.0.0.xxx with your machine ip. did you install samba on ubuntu?
hi
Sta1ker: I didn't install samba, I've done this with prev versions of Ubuntu with no added installs so didn't know I needed to
Sta1ker: thanks its working good
should samba I install now?
How do I get a list of installed packages?
jValentin1, are you trying to access windows shares or vmware shared folder?
Wait, I didn't look that up first, just a sec.
_cronus_: tring to access vmware shared folder, but directly accessing the windows shares would be great too (unless there's a performance hit)
sudo update-alternatives --config java             This command gives error update-alternatives: error: no alternatives for java.
Okay. Unfortunately, it's just as easy for me to type my question into irssi as it is to type it into Google. I sometimes forget which comes first ^_^

hi, I have one question. suppose I have done "cd ~/abc/def/ghi" and "cd ~/abc/def/jkl" in the past. So When I do Ctrl+R at the prompt , to cd jkl I have to type like "cd ~/abc/def/j" how do I get the second choice when it is suggesting to go to the first dir? please help
the_dark_knight: ctrl-r "jk"
the_dark_knight: or just press ctrl-r again (and again to surf the list)
jValentin1, what is the output of mount -t vmhgfs .host:/ /mnt/hgfs
jValentin1, change /mnt/hgfs to a proper mount point
_cronus_:  I just get "Error: cannot mount filesystem: No such device"
llutz: ok. i got it.
have you loaded vmware kernel module?
jValentin1, ^
_cronus_: not sure what's wrong, they show up in devices in my ubuntu file manager
Hi, my tomcat freezes with jsp while it is able to run servlets (the code tested is the one that ships with tomcat as example) what could it be wrong? how can I debug/fix it?

Hi, sorry this Q is maybe a bit too specific for this channel but anyway: I'm testing phpstorm IDE on 12.04 Gnome Shell remix. I can't get it to work with the notification system like Komodo IDE did...
When debugging a web page I want a notification message when a break point is reached, and clicking it takes me straight to the IDE. This works in Komodo, but I can't get it working for phpstorm
any ideas

I'm using setfont to set the console font.
The Man page gives an example, "setfont drdos8x16" which I can't execute.
setfont says that it can't find the file specified. The man page gives a few other examples which I can't execute for the same reason.
The real question: Where does setfont look for these font files?
Hi, my tomcat freezes with jsp while it is able to run servlets (the code tested is the one that ships with tomcat as example) what could it be wrong? how can I debug/fix it?
jalexandru: The best way to debug or fix it is to visit #tomcat
lmat: thanks for the answer
jalexandru: Any time :) #java might be able to offer some help, too...
jalexandru: It's not likely that you'll find help here.

can I remove packages from an already installed system (on the hard drive) rom a Live DVD?
Zacarias: sure, you could chroot and use apt.  Why don't you just boot the system though?

hello, can someone help me with basics package to install for my safety?
im new with ubuntu
anonxartos: nothing really you need.
GStunder: do you have a bug #?
jrib: no, but askubuntu has lots of complaints about this.
jrib: How do you chroot? I'm having problems with the fact that I have two desktop managers (lightdm and kdm), I think.
i dont need anything? so does i already have security on my new installed os?
Zacarias: why don't you just boot the system?  That will be easier
hi guys ubuntu sigon-ui gave me a not enough memory to run error...anyone seen this or know how to fix it
GStunder: well follow the directions in the wiki and pastebin more details I suppose.
jrib:  How do you chroot?
Yoyo, anyone know how to change GPU fan speed, or at least see their temperature? im on low spec game with lag..
Zacarias: I don't understand why you don't just boot the system and do it from there though.
jrib: it freezes at the boot screen (just after the aboot prompts; I'm using yaboot, because I have a power pc)
jrib: mount error(2). Other reports:
http://askubuntu.com/questions/tagged/cifs
Zacarias: you don't have recovery mode available?
GStunder: I don't care about askubuntu threads
jrib: just to show it is a regression.
GStunder: half of them contradict what you said

Hey guys! Any idea why my SMB share on my win2k8 server is limited to ~27MB/s in Ubuntu? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2077768
sasuke: it's written at very bottom of man page
lightdm uses a whole bunch of kde stuff - i don't have kde
With NFS I get speeds around ~60MB/s
yeehi: lightdm doesn't use any of kde stuff
yeehi: what you can do is to edit your ~/.xinitrc and put line there : "gnome-shell"
yeehi: this should start your gnome-shell session ...
_DanN_, its not there, should i create new one
Thanks, _DanN_ I will try that
sasuke: yes .. if you want to edit settings for every user on your system look into /etc/muttrc
sasuke: or /etc/Muttrc - not sure which one

i have burned a disk with the default disk burner which is listed as a program to launch under the possible actions dialogue box which displays after inserting a blank disk into the cd drive, but the program could not eject the disk.  i was prompted to do this manually, and after doing so the program will not continue.
I just have the same dialogue box stating "The disc could not be ejected though it needs to be removed for the current operation to continue."
will ubuntu get libreoffice 3.6.3?
AMDAthlon: yes
my only option is to click cancel, but when i did that with a different disk, it was not recognized when inserted into the cd drive.

Erik_D: Im new.Plz ask
researcher123: version, add on you're trying, etc
BKTech86: If you haven't already, install chkconfig and run it.  It will show you what services are started when you boot your machine.
beeg981: using any "tool" to try an manage ubuntu services is... outdated for sure.  upstart doesn't have any tools for some reason...
Erik_D: Firefox 16.0.2
Erik_D: I try to get add-ons and I never get the list
I'm not recommending using a tool for management, just to check what services are starting with the machine.
beeg981: gotcha
they say off
but the ports are open and they are also still visible in ps aux
researcher123: So opening firefox, going to firefox > add ons shows you an empty page?
BKTech86: have you restarted?
Erik_D: Yes
zykotick9: yes
hmm
Erik_D: and displays 'Loading' for eternity
i'm guessing this problem is not normal?
BKTech86, then it sounds like you have already disabled the services.  if another restart doesn't fix it, then no, it is not normal.
beeg981: i just came here directly after a restart
beeg981: BKTech86 is probably seeing the status of init.d (which isn't upstart...)

zykotick9: i used 'update-rc.d -f mysql remove' to remove the service from startup, afaik that removes symlinks from init.d directory, is that not the correct way to do it?
BKTech86: no, update-rc.d is deprecated (it's NOT what ubuntu uses for system management)

anyone else has difficulties connecting to icq right now?
^12.02 ?
so 'init' i guess?
BKTech86: there isn't much out there for upstart....   it's done basically manually.  ubuntu users aren't expected to want to manage services...  uninstalling unwanted services is closest thing to "ubuntu-answer" (there are ways to stop services, by manually renaming the .conf files in /etc/init/ (NOT init.d!)
lol i thought ubuntu was like the 'learning linux' distribution
BKTech86  Mint is more the 'learning linux'

grenadecx-Ascend: no but the code was taken from eathena ;)
It creates a few directories, that's all

Yup ;P

I already have virtualmin on the server, that does work

any one running andriod on pc?
CuriousPostulate  rm -r to remove directories
CuriousPostulate: using "sudo su" is a BAD idea on ubuntu... probably what caused your issue in the first place...
I know it's a bad idea, but it was useful for some stuff I was doing.. probably shouldn't have anyway.  Huh, I didn't know about sudo -i.  Thanks!  I know rm -r is to remove directories, but I didn't try to remove anything, and I don't know what /run/user/root/gvfs even is
CuriousPostulate: gvfs is Gnome Virtual File System... probably NOT something that "root" should have ever used ;)
CuriousPostulate  gvfs is gnome virtual file system, i guess, e.g.it's used when you open a folder on the webspace I'm getting from my ISP
zykotick9  was faster :)

hi, i've got an old laptop CPU: AMD ATHLON XP 1500+, RAM 256. I installed Xubuntu but browsing internet it's very very slow. What do you suggest?
intore: with 256MB RAM, most browsers will be slow.  fyi, lubuntu (lxde) is a LOT lighter then xubuntu (xfce).
intore, that cpu is 1.3Ghz. Its pretty slow, but if you had enough ram, it might be fast enough for you.
zykotick9, lxde is faster than xubuntu?
intore, 256 megs isnt much ram
intore: yes.  by quite a bit.
compdoc, 256 of ram!
hello to all

would ubuntu desktop functionally work the same way as ubuntu server if I just never log into the GUI?
zykotick9: Wait, wait, the 13.4GB that you see is the total space used by all the folders (usr and so on), look above that. Total filesystem capacity: 40.9 GB (used: 33.4GB available: 7.6GB); I've dedicated the whole filesystem (as far as I know) to the OS
Adie: it would
I see, so, do people use LTS more? what exactly does the "support" part mean for consumers?
okay, I think ima try that >_<
I am trying to set up my mac mini as a headless server, but all this configuration via terminal hurts my brain
Adie, for the most part, but the desktop version has a lot more packages to keep updates, and a lot more services running in the background
zykotick9: And *that's* what I'm confused over, where did that usage come from?
*updated
Adie: imho it's better to keep servers "lean", trying not to have any unused stuff installed etc.pp. but it is your choice
Linkandzelda: for me personally, on my laptop, I can probably bounce from one version to the next without a problem... but if an IT staff has to do all of the updating on servers or on desktops, then not having to reinstall every computer every 18 months is a great thing.
beeg98: I can see how that would be beneficial indeed, for people that just want to setup and stick with it
Linkandzelda: once support runs out, you no longer get security updates, nor the ability to install software from public repos.
some_user: ahhh.  i still interpret that as / = 13.4GB???  i give up with this gui tool.  best of luck.
zykotick9: Do you know if it's safe to delete /run/user/root/gvfs?
zykotick9: Do you know if it's safe to delete /run/user/root/gvfs? (if this is a duplicate message, sorry)
CuriousPostulate: no idea.  sorry.
zykotick9, am downloading lxde. Hope will be better!
CuriousPostulate: i probably would...
some_user, maybe you have files to your / ?
zykotick9: Okay, I just got back the results from du (I was wondering why it took so long, apparently it counted the stuff from /media/ too)
how can I use a tab as a delimiter for cut? I tried -d "\t" but it complains about it being several charactedz
Adie: as llutz said, the desktop version has a lot of services that run (thus opening ports/sockets) that shouldnt be running on a server
_cronus_: How do you mean?
characters
zykotick9: thanks, I'll give it a shot after some more googling
:(
I can't even get sound output, but maybe that's the computers fault
Adie, servers should be lean/hardened (for Enterprise operation :)
some_user, try ls / and see if there are any files there
Adie, but that isnt to say you couldnt run a file server/print server/media server or something of hte like in your home with Desktop
yeah
An_Ony_Moose: TAB is default delimiter
some_user: i'd check your / size using "df -h | grep sd"
it is a pretty old machine, maybe I should avoid the desktop version
Adie, what is your intent?
oracle aid
vonKemper: dedicated box for torrent seeding, irc bouncer, dedicated internet radio receiver
I am having trouble setting up sound though >)_<
Oh, right, heck, I forgot to mention the most important part, sorry. I discovered this usage because my ~ folder was encrypted by something like ecrypt-fs; I followed the instructions for removing that encryption which wiped my home folder (which I had backed up) but the encryption itself still takes up a lot of space; bleh, I can't believe that I forgot to mention this. _cronus_  zykotick9. Also, df -h | grep sd gives back
/dev/sda6        39G   32G  5.1G  87% /
 
some_user: i won't see your messages further, best of luck.  i add anyone mentioning encrypted filesystems to my /ignore file.
When I am connected to a wireless and a wired network at the same time, but all connections go through the wired connection instead of the wireless (as I want to) - is it possible to use the wired connection only for a certain IP range?
Adie: then Server is probably your best bet. if it is older and you want to dedicate it to those services, you would have to do a lot of "leaning out" the desktop version to pare it down to just what you want
(in my case, 192.168.1.x)
zykotick9: Haha, okay, that's unfortunate.
is there a way to set up an unencrypted lvm on kubuntu with livecd?
automatic lvm in kubuntu livecd like fedora?
in need with oracle aid any body
how do I get the default Unity notifications back? I installed Gnome and XFCE4 and now its using Gnome notifications
wanksta: ?
Tsubaki: the problem is probably xfce4-notifyd it can be a race to see who gets to be the daemon
yes Daxter
Tsubaki: if you remove that notify-osd should take over
ok how would I do that trism?
Tsubaki: sudo apt-get remove xfce4-notifyd;
ok another question, window movement is slow/laggy when I have a webbrowser open (yes I have disabled sync to vblank)
wanksta: ask your qwuestion not ask for help
beeg98: and what happens with none LTS version regarding repos and support?
Hello! I just installed a fresh copy of Ubuntu 12.10  but I have no ethernet (I have wireless), and I don't know anything about Linux distros, can anybody please assist me?
Linkandzelda, I'm sorry, I don't understand your question.
swedeguy27 : make sure the computer is connected to the internet and run "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade"
swedeguy27: does the wire less adapter not show up? can you connect to a wireless network? not sure what exactly your questionj is
that should install any missing drivers
beeg98: you mentioned that public repo support and no more security updates after the end of an LTS? I was wondering about the end of a non LTS version
Daxter, am in   need with oracle installation
swedeguy27you have to hook it up directly to the router then find a driver
wanksta: you wont say what kind of help you need, hence i cant help you if i dont know what your problem is
ok another question, window movement is slow/laggy when I have a webbrowser open (yes I have disabled sync to vblank)
Linkandzelda: it's the same for either version, just LTS versions have support longer, so you don't have to switch as frequently
Linkandzelda: non-lts support ends after 18 months of release.
Daxter, i want to install oracle to my pc where can i get the image file
beeg98: Daxter: I see, thanks thats good to know
I have an ubuntu install and I am trying to create a custom plymouth boot script but I can't get the X11 utilities for rendering the scripts working, they just pop up a grey screen with nothing on it.
oracle has many different apps, what application are you trying to install, not "oracle"
Linkandzelda: whereas LTS support (desktop ends after 3 years (server) 5 years
Daxter, oracle database
afternoon
does anybody have experience working with plymouth scripts?
Daxter: Linkandzelda sidenote 12.10 has 5 years desktop as well
I see, I knew that from the wiki page
Greetings.
Daxter: Linkandzelda error!  s/12.10/12.04/
zykotick9: they changed it? used to 10.04.. since i dont use Unity ****
...was gonna say - thought 12.10 only had two years :-s
Daxter: 12.04 is a special thing.  with both server and desktop for 5 years.  probably a test-case i'd guess.
How do I set the display mode in a way that it is reliably set after a reboot? -- I set up 1600x1200@75Hz using the "Nvidia X Server Settings", saved the X11 config, rebooted ... but after logging in, it is back to 1280x960. May I have to edit monitor capabilities?
anyone got display issues with chrome using an ATI card?
Daxter, oracle database
well id say support the LTS 5 years no matter what the version..the 3 years for desktop 5 server theyd doen before is weird to me
linux|newb: I have display issue with chrome with no card? lol
Daxter, am i need with installation of oracle  database
ati drivers though?
LigH: did you run the nvidia-settings as root / sudo
otherwise it wont work
Linkandzelda: ATI drivers though?
linux|newb: well no, no graphics card in the machine, display errors such as white only screen (using vnc to connect). what display error do you get?
tuffgong: ah database...well I have never doen that before. I was just replying since you wouldnt say exactly what oracle app you needed hlep with
Hello! I can't login to my mySQL server from PHP.I'm used different scripts like phpmyadmin and custom... It writes #1045 Cannot log in to the MySQL server. Login from MySQL Workbench is ok. How to fix it?
Daxter, wat about mysql
Linkandzelda: o, my bad. stuff just doesn't render right. I'm guessing a lot of jscript content  because it's especially bad on facebook
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
The following packages have been kept back:
  linux-image-generic
What does that mean?
Daxter: I ran it from the applications menu, and it asked for permission to save the config ... will try that too. But still, I believe it has a pessimistic monitor frequency range.
swedeguy27: "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" to install NEW packages
tuffgong: havent done that either
linux|newb: chrome or chromium?
Linkandzelda: chrome.
linux|newb: never used chrome only chromium
LigH: run it as sudo nvidia-settings in terminal.
then set your config again
Daxter, so how can i clear my cache
Linkandzelda: and chromium works fine but I annoys me that I can't get it working right on chrome
linux|newb: any reason why you need chrome?
please, how can i set up an automatic lvm install on ubuntu?
tuffgong: chace in what?
cache*
Linkandzelda: no... like I say, it's just become a point of contention for me :P
Daxter, commands for cache clearing
what cache?
tuffgong: fyi, there is more then one "cache" on a gnu/linux system...
i cant help you with generic question
Linkandzelda: chromium pairs with your google account, right? I used it a long time back but before all the services were partnered...
linux|newb: oh i see, well I suggest you use chromium, I hear that chrome itself isn't as good. and they are the same apps anyway, just different icons, it looks like that anyway.
BRB
\o
linux|newb: it pairs with my google account yea
Linkandzelda: chrome = chromium with more spying ;)
zykotick9: yea, and a google coloured icon lol
Linkandzelda: sweet. might just bite the bullet and stop being such a purist
linux|newb: its worth it imo
I have a lab of 32 machines that don't shutdown with 'sudo poweroff' but do shutdown with 'sudo poweroff -fp'. We use ldm. I've tried 'sudo mv /sbin/poweroff /sbin.poweroff.real' then create a script called /sbin/poweroff that calls '/sbin/poweroff.real -fp'. Now the machines reboot when ldm shutdown is clicked. Is this all a completely horrible way to try to solve this? What am I doing wrong? I notice that 'ls -la' in /sbin seems to link
poweroff to reboot.
hello
zykotick9, lxde is not faster than xubuntu. Adding 1GB of ram i think will be good. what do you think?
zykotick9,  there are some application fails to gt install in ma pc  untill you clear cache
intore: how do you know ram is your problem ?
If I run xmonad as a window manager, do I have to say I run xmubuntu or something? ;)
anyone else using GNOME2.x?
Daxter: Xorg set up with sudo ... back to 1280x960.
linux|newb: gnome 2 is dead
linux|newb: no current ubuntu version uses it
If my motherboards slot type is LGA1155 and I have a processor that uses the LGA1150 slot type it won't fit right (hardware not my area)?
ikonia: I'm using it right now
linux|newb: ooh,
linux|newb: on what ubuntu version ?
ehm
12.04
Kircle: try the ##hardware channel
intore: 256MB RAM is really small these days... i don't consider my 4GB system to have enough RAM ;)  adding memory would certainly help things.
linux|newb: then you've not got the packages from ubuntu as there are no gnome 2 packages
LigH: what is the recomended resolution for your monitor? I remember having these kind of problems with a cheap HDTV
back then gnome was kinda good...
I have 16GB RAM
It works perfect.
tuffgong: to clear apt's download cache, use "sudo apt-get clean"
ikonia: ...really? weird.
ikonia, because is only 256mb and because it's slow only browsing internet
ikonia: one sec
intore: make sure you keep the distinction between visually slow and actually slow doing the work
zykotick9, maybe dsl or puppy, minidistro could be better
ikonia: you're right. I'm full of shit. it just looks like GNOME 2
intore: probably.  *buntu is a heavy distro...
linux|newb: please pull back the langauge
linux|newb: there is no need for it and it's not welcome
linux|newb: gnome fallback?
ikonia: my bad,
linux|newb: no problem
wicksey: I guess(?)
shell is 3.4.1
Daxter:  I am not sure in which context you mean "recommended". According to the manual? -- I remember that there have been pessimistic Windows monitor INF files with limited frequency ranges. But I use this monitor at 1600x1200 for many years already. And the VESA/DCC and edid data appear to report this as supported resolution as well.
ikonia, it become slow with opened browser
It is a Samsung SyncMaster 950p (CRT)
intore, crunchbang statler is a great minimalist distro. Really very good.
wicksey: so, tell me. shell 3.4.1 has a feature to behave like 2 if chosen at login?
zykotick9, nothing was done
LigH: what does the montior says its native resolution is at
wicksey, really? i don't know it. I'll try, i've got a really old machine!
tuffgong: i doubt that's true - it should have emptied /var/cache/apt/archives/ ?  (but i doubt that's waht your "real" issue is)
as thats usually what the settings will set it to
linux|newb, from login, it is possible to choose different desktops... 'Ubuntu' (which is Unity), 'Ubuntu 2d' (which is Unity 2d) and others... I've installed gnome-fallback in our lab, which is shown as 'Gnome Classic'
liek a HDTV that on my computer oversacnsa at 1280x720.. need 1360x768..but it wouldnt set it for nothin.weird
intore Puppy-5.4 precise based on ubuntu
overscans*
Daxter: How do I request this information?
the settings should tell you what the recommended resoultion is
#mason
intore, I'm using it to type this. Crunchbagn statler is the stable and seems to use a bit less ram than crunchbang waldorf - a newer development version. Statler uses about 90mb when idling.
Well, nvidia-settings defaults to 1280x960 @ auto
zykotick9, mysql fails to install
zykotick9, thats why cache clearing
intore, waldorf uses about 130mb here
tuffgong: you should probably use a pastebin site to paste your actual error output...  good luck man.
wicksey, well, thank, am downloading it
Ray2, also Puppy-5.4 precise
'X Screen 0' reports: Dimensions: 1600x1200 pixels (362x272 millimeters)
wicksey: hmm, I forget what version I chose. I changed it this morning from Unity but forget the moniker it had. maybe 'classic' or something
linux|newb, did unity 3d not work for you?
zykotick9, may be u can give me some command on how to install mysql
wicksey: sure it worked. but I wanted to have a little explore. I was under the impression that RHEL used GNOME2 y'see so wanted to get familiar with it
thank you
see you!
linux|newb, hehe... yeah, I understand that perfectly
wicksey: it does use GNOME 2 then...?
linux|newb, RHEL? Don't know. But 12.04 certainly doesn't.
wicksey: brb
Daxter: May it be useful to add a modeline to the monitor section?
wiksey: so, yeah - it's GNOME classic
linux|newb, yup
maybe..never used that befre
Trying...
\o
wicksey: I like it. I prefer it to Unity
is it possible to switch ubuntu 12.10 to gnome\kde without reinstalling it?
im fairly new to linux, trying it in virtualbox
linux|newb: ...however, you got any idea how to make the top and bottom panels stretch across dual screens?
and so far i hate unity
wicksey: ...however, you got any idea how to make the top and bottom panels stretch across dual screens?
Maddin, how are you trying to install g++? apt-get should handle all dependencies for you
Hello, what happens if you use shutdown now without -h?
another thing that could help is to make it work fast, because i installed virtualbox's guest additions and its still fairly crappy
linux|newb, no experience with that at all I'm afraid. Never done it.
APV1996, the computer will not power down after the operating system has stopped
anyone?
Seveas, yes I did use apt-get but as I said there are version conflicts. It rejects to install the package.
Maddin, pastebin the full output please
wicksey: it's not true to the classic experience because you can't customise the panels from context menus like you used to be able to.
Jiyuu|C, what are you asking?
linux|newb, indeed it's not gnome2
wicksey: anyway - I've harped on much too long at you about this. I'll move on ;)
if i could switch to gnome without needing to download a full installer just to do that
thats one
two is if theres something i need to do to get this running properly in virtualbox
because right now it totally crappy
Stars-: hi
i think because its not doing 2d acceleration
but im not sure
this might best be asked in a virtualbox channel
but im trying here in case its not
Jiyuu|C, Yeah, doesn't run well here in virtualbox either. Works nice installed straight onto hardware.
lol
hi guys what would I need to do in order to setup a "mail server"? I wanna pipe incoming emails to a php script, I'm fairly new to ubuntu/linux so I really have no idea. This is for a virtual private server btw
it doesnt work well in virtualbox only?
Daxter: xorg.conf is still correct, as I saved it. It is just refused during the initialization.
or in general
maslo, you'd need to install a mail daemon such as postfix and tell it to pipe all mails to your script
Jiyuu|C, For me, unity did not work well in virtualbox only
Seveas: Thank you it's very appreciated
wicksey, anyway, first i must get rid of unity
Seveas, I posted the output
Maddin, where? :)
is it really impossible to run/install thunderbird version 2 on ubuntu precise?
(url to the paste please)
wicksey, so, is there a way to switch without reinstalling the entire OS?
Seveas, thanks, and what is the difference between -h -H -P
APV1996, the manpage explains that
Jiyuu|C, You want gnome 3 shell?
Seveas, there should be a new item here in IRC
i need help
yeah, i wouldnt mind kde either
Jiyuu|C, Or a gnome 2 look-alike?
anything but unity
how to compile uzf
Maddin, no, pastebin posts don't get announced automatically, just give us the url
Seveas, (privat message, whatvever it is called)
a game and it says
To compile from source you need:
cmake
SFML >= 1.5
Box2D >= 2.1 (I think)
oh, you did a pm, didn't see it :)
FloodBot1, be qeiot im NOT !
Jiyuu|C, http://www.filiwiese.com/installing-gnome-on-ubuntu-12-04-precise-pangolin/
wicksey, its not a problem if i have 12.10?
Seveas, as far as I understood if I use -h I can specify -H or -P. But what if I won't specify?
Maddin, can you pastebin the output of apt-get install g++-4.1 and the output of more /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/* | cat
Maddin: Aschebescher?
Jiyuu|C, google revealed... http://www.webupd8.org/2012/10/how-to-get-complete-gnome-3-desktop-in.html
APV1996, no, -h means "I want -H or -P, whatever the system wants"
LigH, yeah :D
APV1996, which on any system I know off means -P
bye all
Hey guys.. Is this a place where a linux newbie ought to find help? :D
Lykkemark, if you're lucky :)
Seveas, http://paste.ubuntu.com/1345851/ and http://paste.ubuntu.com/1345857/
Maddin, ah, I got the first command wrong, should be: sudo apt-get install g++-4.4
Seveas, why system prefers poweroff more than halt?
Seveas, already wondered... :)
Maddin, btw, you're using an obsolete, unsupported version of ubuntu, an upgrade is recommended
Seveas, I know but Ubuntu 10.10 is the only version where my graphics card works as it should
Maddin, k, then we'll try to keep it working. Any luck with that apt-get? (pastebin please)
Updated the Gnome settings, rebooting again.
\o
is there a way to write MAC OS flash drive under  Ubuntu does this change greator program service ..?>>?
Seveas, there we go: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1345870/
Maddin, looks like you had updates enabled at some point but not anymore. This is fixable :)
Daxter: After setting the resulution with nvidia-settings, I called the display settings page in the Gnome System Configuration tool and saved it, now that I was able to chose 1600x1200. Then it persisted after rebooting and logging in (into Gnome Classic desktop).
Maddin, replace the contents of /etc/apt/sources.list with what's on http://pastebin.com/CL2mcCXV
that enables the updates and security updates repos
Seveas, oh ok, but I did update to the newest packages but disabled the option after that that it doesnt bother me with asking each time
Maddin, you shouldn't disable that, those updates are important
besides, now that your ubuntu version is obsolete, there won't be further updates ;)
right
thats why I disabled them
:P
why can't I install libncurses5-dev:i386 and libncurses5-dev at the same time? :)
I'm quite sure that on some earlier ubuntu I could install both arch files  at the same time
olmari: how are you trying to install them?
ThinkT510: apt-get install
hmm, odd
thing is that openwrt buildsystem needs amd64 version, cyanogenmod buildsystem i386
it's either one, confilcts if try isntall both
screw the typos =)
Seveas, :O I have some updates available, NICE! Sorry for that dump action, I will let the system update now and tell you then...
Bye.
\o
Bombo: you probably need to install smbfs
smbfs?
smbfs is obsolete, you'll want cifs
I typed it on the command line
Hello everyone, sorry for the noob question but is there something else out there that is like Resara? (Nice Front end to Samba?)
and it prompt it :P
Has Ubuntu server done something like this yet?
The program 'smbmount' is currently not installed.  You can install it by typing: sudo apt-get install smbfs
:P
has it ever happened to you that you install Ubuntu Desktop and it doesn't boot at all?
I've installed 12.04 in an Acer Aspire One (Netbook)
Is /usr/lib/hotplug/firmware/... now in /lib/modules/NNN-generic-pae/kernel/drivers/... ?
Can anyone here explain me why Ubuntu does not support the NZB file extention? Or even how to get support for this file type.
I try to find a way for Ubuntu to know how to handle NZB files.
NZB files are xml files that I use for usenet downloading.
Trying to get an old dongle to work. Having this issue: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-users/2004-October/005699.html

It is part of bcm203x, modinfo gives http://paste.ubuntu.com/1345926/
Hello everyone, sorry for the noob question but is there something else out there that is like Resara? (Nice Front end to Samba?)
a front end that does what exactly?
Have you seen Resara?
but dmesg gives "Bluetooth: Mini driver request failed ,  bcm203x: probe of NN-2:1.0 failed with error -5"
Its a complete GUI to Samba from what I understand
my laptop just stopped booting
all I did was do a hard shutdown out of LiveCD to boot into a newer LiveCD
but when I turned it on nothing shows on the screen
And thus does not get mounted. hcitool, hciconfig etc gives no devices
sourceminer: samba client? or samba server?
Samba server
lsusb gives Broadcom Corp. BCM2033 Bluetooth
so do I assume Linux just destroyed my laptop for no good reason?
I am looking for a great alternative to active directory (but needs to be easy to use)
Hi

Hi how can i enable vhost in apache
BrianBlaze, obviously later on but does anybody have an idea for an ETA?
Seveas, Thank you very much for your help! It works now, after the update finished I can install all the packages I need. :) You rock!
Yuioup: They might know in #ubuntu-x

Maddin, you're welcome :)
hello how can i enable vhost in apache?
btw the ui looks completely different from the image from software center
software center? ;)
ubuntu software center, or even from the website of anjuta
well, ive just installed the anjuta and im kinda having some problems with using it
when i pressed f3 it asked for program parameters, and im not realy sure what to do with it
Anyone a pro with parted? .. I made a disk image of a machine with a 2TB (crappy old WD Green drive we had spare) disk.. I want to restore the image to a more reliable disk like one of these 1TB WD Blacks I just got in.. Sadly I can't get the 12GB of image data to fit on the 1TB drive because the 'partition size' of the image I'm restoring is 2TB. ;p
JFranks: why not just copy the data across?
gordonjcp: I've sadly used this on several machines and would actually like a solution to the issue regardless. I'm guessing the only 'fix' would be to edit the partition table size in the .img files?
JFranks: that won't work, because it assumes the data is all up one end of the disk
which it pretty much never is

Hi. I'm having a dependency conflict in apt. I'm trying to setup Ruby on Rails but got confused with gems. I don't remember the exact commands but I think I tried install the same components from both gem and apt, and then uninstalled all gems. Now when I do apt-get -f install, this is what I get: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1346000/ How to 1) sort out the conflict and 2) install Rails properly?
Hmmm I see because the data in the .img states that it has a start/stop boundary which would 'likely' fall outside the reduced boundaries of the re-sized partition.. ? So what I'd REALLY need is a tool that treats the .img as a partition, then performs a real re-size operation and then re-saves as a new img..
JFranks: or, you could just copy the data off it, onto the new drive
hey guys, on the unlock screen, I don't always see a box, but I see my wallpaper with a large black box. Is there a way to either fix this or to remove locking after a certain time altogether?
Is possible to share internet connection using 2 ethernet cards?
gordonjcp: Yes in this case I do still have that option. In this case.. :(
derp of course
noiro: you can go into the control centre, Brightness and Lock, and turn off lock
JFranks: why wouldn't you have that option?
ahh ok, thanks gordonjcp
derp: yes, indeed.  What exactly are you trying to do though?
JFranks: just mount it, and copy the stuff off - possibly using rsync with appropriate switches to keep the permissions straight
gordonjcp: If the drive was backed up, then failed, and all I had was the 2TB backup image? Which was the reason I am running parted on my machines .. now I have to re-think it.. or always use a recovery drive that's BIGGER than the IMG and then re-size and clone that disk.. which is .. nuts.
JFranks: yes, from the image
just mount it...
Ahhh well that's different
Er news to me.. I didn't know I could mount the IMG and I don't know the proper process to do that.. :(
* jrib hates this keyboard
JFranks: oh, oho right, look at "mount -o loop"

Aha2Y: It will use use the USB as the main HDD.  You will be able to mount the internal HDD as you would an external HDD normally.  Assuming you are doing the full normal install of course and not one of the liveUSB style methods.
It's okay.. I have to laugh too.. Hard to slag on him for investing $130 into a nice KB only to get the wrong one..
Is it possible to increase the amount the middle scroll wheel scrolls? It is so very little on my computer
kunji: How you mean normal install?
univeral USB installer at ubuntu.com
Arla: there's probably an open bug about this, have you checked?
jrib: No. I was so sure it was just me fudging things up by using both gem and apt for the same things. Will check.
Aha2Y: Using the installer as you would when installing to a an HDD.  That is you can just use the built in startup disk creator packaged with Ubuntu to make a liveUSB, or just use a liveCD, but then use that to actually install onto another USB drive as you would do for an HDD.
Arla: what command did you run?
oh
How can I make sure my second HDD(NTFS) that's in /media/user/MyBook is mounted before launching my torrent daemon?
I mean can I change the startup order in anyway?
JFranks: you like clicky keyboards?  You need an old Dell QuietKey in your life
jrib: I'm not sure. I have the command history still, but I don't remember the reason for every command.
Arla: to me it just seems like bundler and ruby-bundler are redundant packages.
Chotaz: If it has an entry in the /etc/fstab it should be getting mounted before desktop loads
genii-around, can I replicate the entry from /etc/mstab ?
Aha2Y: Oh, you're starting from being in windows?  Yeah use the Universal USB Installer to make the liveUSB, and then use that to install to a USB drive.  Assuming you want a persistant proper installation on the USB drive.  If you just want a liveUSB, then just stop after making that, I think they have some persistent file storage when made this way, but not for installed programs, etc...
Arla: I would recommend you file a bug and for now just pick one to use
Yes that.
:P
Chotaz: No, they don't use identical syntax.
I don't want Ubuntu (installed at USB) use my personal HDD.
genii-around,  well in my fstab I only have my main HDD system's partition and it's swap partition
jrib: As you could see, I have only one of them installed now. So what is the problem from apt's point of view?
For some reason my key bindings don't work, such as alt-tab, any fixes besides the keyboard menu in system settings?
Arla: this is why I asked you what command you ran
Arla: whatever you command you ran, asked to install "bundler"
jrib: apt-get -f install
Any guesses why precise is ignoring my touchpad sensitivity setting?
Aha2Y: It doesn't need to use your internal HDD as long as you don't install it to the internal HDD.
nice.
Arla: so you have a package that explicitly depends on bundler
Would 8GB be enough?
jrib: How can I see what package(s) that might be?
Arla: apt-cache rdepends bundler
Actually I now know that I don't have key bindings because I am not in 3D mode. However there is no option on the login for 3D mode, any fixes?
what is this ???i am getting nothing
Aha2Y: Yep, unless you want to install lotsa software
jrib: Nice. Five packages depend on bundler and none on ruby-bundler
jrib: So I could just uninstal ruby-bundler and try again?
Arla: consider using "bundler" and removing "ruby-bundler".  And you should file a bug imo
genii-around, adding it to fstab I can be sure that it is mounted before any UpStart script?
kunji: If i got a 8GB usb how big should i set the Presistent file size for storing changes?
jrib: Unfortunately apt won't remove anything before the conflict is fixed...
Chotaz: The upstart script mountall which is what will look at the fstab usually gets run before any applications get started
Arla: one shot: sudo apt-get install bundler ruby-bundler-
genii-around,  thanks for clarifying me and some more info ^^
Aha2Y: Are you intending to use the 8 GB usb as the final place for Ubuntu to be installed, or for the liveUSB to do the installation?
My wifi disconnects about every 5-10 minutes on Ubuntu 12.04. I have the AR9462 wifi chip, what drivers do I need to install?
jrib: Nice. But it chooses to install bundler before removing ruby-bundler
Arla: ha, try changing the order
I did
without success
Arla: :/ ok.  Use dpkg to remove it then
kunji: http://owely.com/4dYtqn <-
I have no idea :P
gordonjcp: I've actually got a friend that collects IBM 8923s so that he'll always have one to type on.. I'm pretty jelly.. Now back to Parted.. I ran it via clonezilla, which made 'parts' in .gz format.. So mounting is now a lost option unless I want to re-assemble the compressed parts first, which is as much work as restoring to a larger drive.. So I guess I need to rethink the image creation process because all I've made so far are n
useless backups.. :(
jrib: Yay, the conflict is solved now.
Hi, this question has been probably asked many times. I can't get 12.10 and fglrx to work? help?
Arla: yay :P
jrib: I will file a bug
Almost tempted to just fork out some $ and let Ghost take over for Parted.. The resize options are apparently worth the investment..
Aha2Y: My impression was that you wanted an actual install of Ubuntu.  So you will need either 2 USB drives, one to use for the liveUSB, and the other to install to as you would for an HDD.  Or alternatively a USB and a blank cd, in which case you would make a liveCD and use that to install to the USB drive, again as you would to an HDD.
JFranks: in future use dd to clone the whole drive, or ddrescue
JFranks: if you extract the .gz of the partition, can you mount it?
Nah just a USB installation :o
jrib: The point in the bug report should be that bundler and ruby-bundler cause a conflict, right?
gordonjcp: It's like sda1.ntfs-ptcl-img.gz.aa sda1.ntfs-ptcl-img.gz.ab sda1.ntfs-ptcl-img.gz.ac ... etc.
JFranks: O_O
JFranks: okay, how big are the pieces?
jrib: Should I file it for apt or bundler? I'm not used to filing bugs.
gordonjcp: I'm assuming I'd have to 'join' those chunks then decompress it to get an .img  .. The chunks are 2GB
JFranks: so something like cat chunk.gz.aa chunk.gz.ab chunk.gz.ac > allchunks.gz
Aha2Y: Oh, so just a liveUSB then?  You won't be able to keep programs installed across reboots though that way.  In that case I would set the size of the persistent partition to 4 GB on a 8 GB drive, or as high as they let you go (I think the creator will not let you leave too little space for the OS), should give ample space for documents and the like, which will remain across reboots.
and gunzip them
JFranks: the command line is a powerful tool and a dangerous weapon
JFranks: be careful, or it'll cut your leg off
JFranks: of course if you *want* to cut your leg off, it's not going to stop you
gordonjcp: That's why we don't run around as root all the time :P
kunji: indeed
s/root/scissors/  ?
kunji: but sometimes you've got to just tie that chainbrake back and take the kevlar gloves off...
Arla: you should file it against ruby-bundler
Arla: that's the one you removed, right?
jrib: yes
thanks
anyone seen where u suddenly cant connect via winscp and when via ssh cant do and ls or directory commands?
could this be something to do with a windows drive  i mounted i fstab
Billy_: I've never had that happen, and my comp always has an NTFS drive mounted.  Have you checked if there's any funny business going on in the .bashrc file?
hello, I have just downloaded the ubuntu 12.04 iso from the webpage. I then attempted to use the start disc maker.  I tried this twice.  Both times I got the same error after a "successful" install. The error occurs when I try to boot to the usb device. it says that there is on pae kernel included.... I think the pae kernel is in the iso by default
MaynardWaters: Did you check the iso image after you downloaded it to make sure it had the correct md5 sum and was not corrupted?
genii-around: so im not going insane, the pae kernel should be included in the default iso, right?
hi
does ubuntu work over an windows 8 system????
MaynardWaters: I don't know offhand, I use the 64bit one. i would think so however
ok :)
MaynardWaters, ubuntu now by default uses the pae kernel on 32 bit
i have a 64 bit syst
I upgraded from 12.04 to 12.10 and now my computer will not boot, it just gets to the purple Ubuntu screen with 5 little dots below the word Ubuntu.  When I run in recovery boot up, it stops and has several options but no matter what option I choose it will not continue to boot, any suggestions?  It seems to be something dealing with video
genii-around, can you assist me further with the prblem ? I tried replicating based on the already inserted the devices and the mtab entry for the secondary disk and I got an error message while starting the system saying there was a problem mounting the disk, here's a small report of what I did: http://pastie.org/private/fkim3pcvee7aicqtamhga.
siemka
thanks kostkon
and thanks genii-around
Chotaz: Where you wrote "none"  is where you put the mountpoint, which must already exist. So you would make the directory under /media like /media/user first then /media/user/MyBook   and then put that instead of where you put "none" in the fstab line
Just got on Ubuntu 12.10, and Thunderbird seem to be using a lot of CPU resources (about 35%). is this a known issue?
Chotaz: Apologies on lag, work is requiring my attention quite a bit
hi ..
genii-around, no problem, will reboot one last time to confirm it's working. I'll report in a bit.
Ciao
hi , I am having problem with usb-modem ... it disconnects every one hour .... pls help me ..
umm by guessingg I would say overheating..
lol
and usb modems are fails...
what ??
in windows it worked for hours ..
The problem is from starting, when i started using 11.04 .. Now i am using 12.04 .
himanshu_linux Go to dash, type Additional Drivers, open it, and it should find a driver for your usb modem, install it.

yeehi, firewall builder?
Has anyone tried the new NVIDIA experimental beta driver?
yes, TheLordOfTime
fwbuilder
You need it to run steam
himanshu_linux: Any luck?
domedagen: I'll try it, they said it had doubled its performance.
domedagen, have you tried .310 yourself ? here is a howto >> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2077608
thelinux : additional driver is not showing any driver for usb..
thelinux: Yes, but they also say it's an unstable driver
yeehi, never even heard of it prior to today.  i usually use ufw or iptables directly, so... i'd have to research it first :P
* TheLordOfTime boots up a VM
fwbuilder is a gui for iptables, TheLordOfTime
woah tons of people here
domedagen: Did you try the driver?
yeehi, i've never used fwbuilder, i use iptables directly in terminal, so... no clue what "options" you're talking about
yeehi, give me a few, i'll see if i can't help/
how exactly does one force an upgrade from 12.04 to 12.10?

ok - anybody else familiar with fwbuilder...?

Anyone have a decent link to setting up my Ubuntu 11.01 for custom themes? I'm rather new to the Linux OS.

Hello. i am using Ubuntu 12.04 and fix the blueness in flash video by "perl -pi.2.bak -e 's/libvdpau/lixvdpau/g' libflashplayer.so" but since 2 days i need to repeat that often. any ideas why?
geting back to trying to mount a windows shared folder in my vmware-ubuntu box, but haven't figured it out yet. Per someone's advice earlier, I tried installing smbfs and samba-common
domedagen, it is not available yet. so trying out that beta driver is at your own risk.
OerHeks: But can't you try it first?
domedagen, no.
domedagen: I'll test It, I will be a guinea pig.
xangua, thats what the command does
no hdmi audio with a hd7770 any help? catalyst control centre is installed i get an option under sound settings to enable hdmi but when I test it there is nothing. I have family coming over tonight and would love to wow them with my setup watching a movie

how do I restart the dhcp server? I tried sudo service dhcpd restart with no lock
OerHeks: thelinux When do you think they will be considered more or less stable? I don't think NVidia would release something that doesn't work at all
what would an equivalent to ccleaner be in ubuntu? i play a lot of flash games and havent cleared my cache cause i dont wanna lose my saves.
domedagen:  Well if it's beta, it still has some small bugs.

domedagen, Kongregate.com

ATI or nVidia on Ubuntu. Which one should I go for when buying a new motherboard?
domedagen: Ocassional "crash" I guess.
domedagen, my favorite is BloonsTD 5
bie
wyclif: I'd suggest Nvidia
XiaolinDraconis: LoL! Played that years ago
genii-around: neither worked
Do you think the revolution has begun with Steam for Linux and all?
domedagen, part 5 is only a year old, only been available on kongregate for 4 months
how does one force an upgrade to 12.10 from 12.04?
domedagen: yup
Akuma: You have a dhcp server actually installed?
thelinux: just to be clear, beta doesn't mean there are bugs or crashes, just as stable does not mean there are not bugs.  All beta means is that it hasn't been out in the wild in the hands of users very long, though some organizations choose to use stricter standards internally.
yes
Raspberry Pi looks awesome
nostrum_: You dont want to upgrade to 12.10 if you're using Unity
XiaolinDraconis: How dare you to talk with domedagen? He's my boyfriend.
nostrum_: software center, edit, sources, updates, set normal version upgrades
genii-around: I was just reading where Linus trashed nVidia. Kind of makes it harder for me to sort out which is optimal.
XiaolinDraconis: I'm getting one for Christmas!
domedagen: well what if I wanna kill unity and use somethin else
Akuma: What says result of: ls /etc/init/dhcp*           ?
kunji: Well yes, it's still in "testing" phase.
hello i have a login.keyring, of an other installation, is there a way to import it in my current installation ?
wyclif: I would go ATI over Nvidia anyday, but the reasoning is not straightforward regarding why.
ps -aufx shows: dhcpd     1250  0.0  0.1   4044  2180 ?        Ss   Oct30   0:00 /usr/sbin/dhcpd3 -q -pf /var/run/dhcp3-server/dhcpd.pid -cf /etc/dhcp3/dhcpd.conf eth0
thelinux, i am a dude, dont think u got no worries here
XiaolinDraconis: I'm guy too, I was joking.
thelinux: Overly attached IRC-user
hey everyone, i have a packaging question
kunji: why ATI over nVidia?
domedagen: I was joking with him.
xangua: domedagen: thanks, what's the default wm for 12.10 then instead of unity? would it install by default during upgrade or did you warn because there are issues with auto update?
genii-around:  no such file or dir
nvidia is cheap
thelinux: I know
in many ways
kunji, i cant wait to check it out, sounds like the perfect thing for my 10 thousand roms, if i can get emulators to run on it
Akuma: Does /etc/init/isc-dhcp-server.conf    exist?
i'm trying to build libvirt-1.0.0 for quantal, but it somehow ends up depending on libyajl1 instead of libyajl2. Where should i look?
Is there any push to talk thing compatible with unity
exalt, export those keys first, then you can import the keys in your current installation.
skype is what I need it for, generic will do
XiaolinDraconis: What emulators you use?
tthe only I can find uses gnome-panel
it does not
OerHeks, how will i be able to export it ?
my conf is in /etc/dhcpd3
Akuma: What dhcp server did you install?
nostrum_: Ubuntu crew has fucked Unity up for 12.10 with Amazon in Dash and all. Better use GNOME if you want to use 12.10
thelinux, just about all of them, all the ones that run the best

no clue, it was a while ago
domedagen: k well maybe I switch to xfce or somethin
XiaolinDraconis: Great, I might test NES games.
dhcpd3-server
Akuma: The dhcp3-server package is apparently now just linked to the isc-dhcp-server, i would suggest to just install that.
XiaolinDraconis: This is what I call a good flash game: http://www.kongregate.com/games/aardman/home-sheep-home-2-lost-underground
XiaolinDraconis don't touch my boyfriend domedagen

Unity > Gnome 3 for me
Gnome is worse to use IMO
nostrum_: Hopefully, but unlikly they will realise that they are wrong. You can however install 12.10 and then log in to GNOME from the login screen
Akuma: Did you do first: sudo apt-get update    ?
guys
ben1066: Not since the new update
thelinux, if thats what he calls a good game, you aint got no worries
Akuma: 'apt-file search' 'apt-cache search'
Im running 12.10
inb4 windows user migrating deffinitively to ubuntu
;p
wat do?
It's better than Gnome 3, Gnome 3 is really annoying
ben1066: Gnome even has a menu no?
wyclif: Well, ATI is generally more open than Nvidia to start with.  Hence why we have much better open source drivers for ATI than Nvidia.  On the other hand Nvidia's proprietary drivers are supposedly better than the ATI open source ones, but this difference has been less and less, and it not true in my personal experience (though it probably is generally).  Also I'm a bit of a loyalist, and with the rest of my hardware being ATI/AMD, it 
I just upgraded to Ubuntu 11.10 and now when I hit ctrl-tab, all of my menus disappear and I must log out and then login again in order to launch, move, or close any windows
Gnome classic does...
Can anyone tell me why that is?
XiaolinDraconis: Oh that was mean, just because I'm gay you make me feel bad.
ben1066: domedagen please stop that discussion - each one has his/her own likes/dislikes
ben1066: But Gnome 3 as well? What don't you like with GNome 3? Havent treid it myself
guntbert, its all in fun, i think
guntbert, no1 has made fun of anyones lifestyle
XiaolinDraconis: doesn't matter - this channel is for support only
Akuma: If still not found, you may be running an older Ubuntu ( 8.04 or earlier )
guntbert,
sorry
gnome 3 just feels a bit clunky to me
And is worse for multi monitors
Actually, 10.04,  rather
XiaolinDraconis: Joking. I'm not gay nor straight, I'm asexual guy cause I see you are already turned on, well HA you can't have me. I'm too cool.
thelinux, you better stop teasing before you get us both silenced
;p
thelinux: please stick in channel topic
Tm_T: No worries.
thelinux, a good tip, when you get a warning and then see chanserv grant someone OP status or similar, its time to run.
Any idea how I can get the theme I downloaded to run?
I just upgraded to Ubuntu 11.10 and now when I hit ctrl-tab, all of my menus disappear and I must log out and then login again in order to launch, move, or close any windows -- is this a "feature" ?
hey something i can help with for a change
rinches, i can help with that
Awesome, do you want to meet in a private chat or explain here?
rinches, first off are you using unity, and here works
Ubunut
Ubuntu 11.10*
rinches, ok if i remember right that comes with unity
rinches, but it wont matter cause i think you still need the gnome tweak tool
rinches, extract the theme you downloaded to /home/yourusername/.themes
rinches, its a hidden folder inside your home directory
ls /home/username/ .themes for CLI right?
rinches: without the ' ' in between
rinches, doesnt have to be cli
I know it doesn't have to be cli, but I'm trying to learn it anyway
For the future lol
rinches, you can open the location in nautilus and drag and drop from the archive if you prefer
ok then
Akuma: If you are on the earlier Ubuntu, should be a sysvinit called dhcp3-server   so it would be called from upstart like: sudo service dhcp3-server restart
But I first need to get the Gnome tweaker
So I'll go ahead and download that.
rinches, what type of theme are you installing? gtk3 or something else?
Let me look, I'll link the website where I got it from.
rinches, good idea
http://www.technama.com/2009/ubuntu-themes-61-awesome-themes-for-linux/
Hello everyone
Hi Deluxo
where do i report bug for wacom tablets?
my shortcut buttons on the tablet dont work
rinches: themes from 2009 for a disto from 2011...
cant even map them, list ist empty in settings
OerHeks, how do i stop a chroot ?
rinches, which theme are you going with?
Overglossed theme
rinches, you should probably look for an equivalent of this theme in gtk3 themes on gnome-look
Okay cool, thanks.
I'm still new to Linux and so far I'm completely impressed with the layout.
so
I'm going to use Windows 7 for my desktop and Linux for my laptop. I've got to learn this for my college courses. That's why I'm trying to learn about things in CLI
where do i report bugs regarding the wacom tablets?
on the CLI *
rinches, theming can be a pain in the rump, but once you got it down, there are sooo many options
Hello everyone, I am wondering if there is someone on that could explain how to integrate the bitdefender antivirus scabber for unices inside nautilus
exalt, i don't know, sorry
Well I've got to download and install advanced settings from the Software Center first lol
rinches, if your system specs are up to it, i suggest trying out qemu, you can do all the experimenting you want without risking harm to your system
So it's similar to Virtual Machine?
rinches, yes thats what it is
Awesome, I'll check it out thanks :D
I've got a few virtual machines on my desktop that I'm using.
We start Mac OS X next week. I'm not looking forward to that. Haha
rinches, im learning arch linux using qemu, arch is almost all cli
College as well?
hi
hi anyone successful at speed up 12.04 boot time that could help me?
rinches, no teaching myself
I would've taught myself all this stuff, but then I wouldn't get a degree for it, so I just put myself into college.
bekor: buy an ssd
compared to 10.04, 12.04 is already freaking fast
rinches, ive got debts stopping me from that, 600 dollars to go before i can enroll again
I AM SORRY WHAT IS A SSD?
Aww man, that's not good.
solid state disk
a type of hard drive, but made of chips. no platters
Like a ram stick Bekor :D
no factoid either
well i have 7200 rpm's that should be enough
bekor: go away with statement
with THAT statement
rinches: using Linux will def help you learn how to use the CLI and all the *NIX utilities
DOES 12.10 BOOT ANY FASTER?
rinches, http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Think+Correctly+GTK+Theme?content=148576 its not the same as what you wanted but so far the most similar i could find
I have a question about what appears to be a bug.  Is it customary to chit-chat before asking a question?
sorry bad typing skills
sneakyimp_: people chitchat, but it is best to go straight to the question
sneakyimp_: no, please come right to the point
"Coming from Windows, KDE, or other similar desktop environment, the first expectation of the Unity launcher is that it works like a traditional task bar or dock. Unity launcher doesn't behave like this - and that's by deign." So what is the proper way to minimize/maximize window?

Thanks bud, I've got to figure out what all files I need to download since this is a somewhat clean install. I'm on a dual boot laptop at the moment. I can't get rid of Windows 7 just yet on this laptop
i've asked it twice already which is why i ask again.  I just upgraded to Ubuntu 11.10 (which I believe is Unity).  Previously, hitting Alt-Tab allowed me to cycle through my open windows.  It still seems to do so, but occasionally it results in all of my menus disappearing (including the launcher) and I must logout/login in order to get the menus back.  Until I do, I cannot launch, move, or...
...close any windows.  Is this a "feature" or is it a bug?
so has anyone had the same issues with 12.04 booting slow?
sneakyimp_: any reason you haven't upgraded to 12.04 or 12.10?
not really
anyone have any tips for faster boot time?
bekor: ssd + gentoo or arch
jrib:  the OS has not prompted me to do so -- also, I am reluctant because I'm running a variety of systems for software development and dread the prospect of these systems failing after a major version upgrade
bekor: you mean easy peasy stuff or serious business?
bekor, preloader sped me up a bit
sneakyimp_: but you said you just upgraded to 11.10
jrib: I cannot afford the downtime should Eclipse stop working, for instance
jrib: I did -- and am regretting it as we speak
Bitdefender nautilus integration anyone please?
sneakyimp_: anyway, I don't use unity, but my understanding is that many improvements were made in 12.04 (and presumably in 12.10 as well)
i guess easy. i have changed things already through the terminal i found on line but still not much difference
preloader made my boot slower than before
sneakyimp_: if I were in your shoes, I'd go to 12.04.  It's LTS and, like I said, I seem to recall people claiming many improvements to unity
lonewulf: the AV ?, you dont really need it, anyways, google "penguin pills" if you are interested
bekor: don't shut down
jrib:  ok i suppose I must then.  As I mentioned before, the OS has not yet prompted me -- how to initiate this?  Also, is 12.10 not LTS?  that's a bit confusing.
well i guess that is one way
sneakyimp_: The OS should prompt you to do so, though I understand not wanting to break anything.  I would go for a clean install of 12.04.1 the next time you get a chance to have the downtime.
bekor: or don't install anything :)
just thought i would check to see if anyone has had similar issues and had advice thanks anyway
kunji:  yes a clean install would rule.  I would also consider a hardware upgrade.  this is a 6-core AMD machine.  am contemplating an 8-core or perhaps even intel.
sneakyimp_: 12.04 is not LTS, Long Term Support versions are released every 2 years, the next one would be 14.04
sneakyimp_: *sorry, mean to say 12.10 is not LTS, 12.04 is of course
seems like you use to find more help on these channels now it seems like to many smart asses
kunji:  you mean 12.10 is not LTS? https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LTS
bekor: sorry, umm, preloading would be expected to make things slower, because it is loaded at boot time.
kunji:  oops...typed too slow
sneakyimp_, 12.10 is not lts. 8.04, 10.04, and 12.04 are. 14.04 will be the next.
hi
Can somebody please check my python-sqlite code and tell me why it's returning error: "incorrect number of bindings supplied" http://pastebin.com/ium0Py8T
bekor: I was asking because I don't know an easy way to make it faster.  My guess is that the way to go would be to disable the loading of unneeded modules... which I don't really want to get into.  How long of a boot are we talking about?  Is it so long that the boot might be doing something unusual or working around some error?
dev_rand: #python for that
ok, thanks
Could someone advise me on getting the GUI terminal to display Cyrillic text properly? As it stands, each character is rendered as a '?'.
What's this I hear about Amazon Ads integration in Ubuntu 12?  http://yro.slashdot.org/story/12/09/22/1319216/ubuntu-will-now-have-amazon-ads-pre-installed
Kwerty, make sure your input method and terminal agree on encoding (both utf-8 would be best) and that you use a font that has cyrillic characters
after installing isc-dhcp-server (for my internal network), now my dhcp client is not working to get an IP from the cable modem.
dev_rand, doesn't sqlite use %s instead of ? as placeholders?
cal_, make sure your dhcp server listens only on the network interface for the internal network
Greetingas
Greetings*
seveas: yeah, did that.
hellao :)
? is it all of 12.10 that is buggy or is it just the gnome-shell remix
seveas: what is used by 12.10 for dhcp client? dhcpcd still?
Guys there is a problem. Filezilla only realeased a client version for Ubuntu... How can I make a FTP server?
cal_, no, it's always been isc's dhcp client
Thank yoou... can you create on these?
udev rules - I can't seem to get ATTRS{iManufacturer} to work - I think it may be different  - ie something other than an ATTR, but I can't find it
seveas: when looking at the syslog, i dont see dhcp client starting up at all anymore, its all dhcpd (server) stuff
futureleader: some info about vsftp here if you want: https://help.ubuntu.com/12.10/serverguide/ftp-server.html .  You can probably find even more at http://help.ubuntu.com/community
Ty
Any idea on how I can make my FTP server global :)
Hi, help please with flashplayer.. i have kubuntu 12.10, proprietary driver for my GeForce 9600gt.. and i have low fps in youtube ... :(
FTP server will on be a local one now
futureleader: install an ftpd and make sure your firewall doesn't get in the way?
p.s. my kubuntu is 64 bit..
Kinder-Pingvi: flash sucks in linux in general
jirib Problem being... if the address is 127.0.0.1... That is your own local router adress? You have to be in  a VPN in my network to connect
no matter you use 32, 64. 128 bits
futureleader: have your router forward port 21 to your server
it's haven't some fixes? :(
Oh...
jrib: ftp is a firewall/portforwarding nightmare... you probably need more the just 21
futureleader: see zykotick9
So if you type ftp//:127.0.0.1 ou can connect?
Help. Im getting an error about device-mapper ioctl resume failed when trying to mount a truecrypt archive
i think that my flash don't use hardware decoding... but i don't know how push on it
sorry my english )
futureleader: well, no.  Someone outside would type the ip to your router.  Do you really want an host an ftp server exposed to the world?  What do you want to do with it?
Another Random Question... Any free VPN clients for ubuntu .. aka like HAmachi
Ty
* jrib adds a tickmark for another Seveas typo.  Up to 3 now over the past 7 years
futureleader, openvpn is the most common one
jrib: Well ... Share my files? Let people put cool stuff on it? Lol
jrib, heh. 7 minutes you mean :)
(and i've been here for over 8 years...)
hi there, i am using ubuntu 12.04 and i am using ipad3. i badly need to transfer movies from my laptop to my ipad. i dont have any other os on this laptop. is there a way to do so? million thanks
futureleader: well I wouldn't allow anonymous users to put files on there, you'll likely end up hosting illegal content at some point
True
futureleader, the law of free hosting: you end up with porn. lots of it.
where can I find out what sort of information is shared about me by adlens?  I'm concerned about my privacy
sneakyimp_, if you are, remove that lens.
sneakyimp_: I think shuttleworth's blog post speaks about what basically happens
...community. And most importantly, you trust us to address it when, being human, we err."
jrib: he dodges the question
sneakyimp_, I read that differently. More like "none of your data gets shared"
seaveas:  caveat emptor
oh and I don't trust them. I have backups :)
Yeah, I take that as: they just send the search terms to amazon, fetch the results, and then forward them to you
exit
sneakyimp_: you can remove all/most inity-lens-... packages
Guys i need to delete Folder
rom not working
rm
futureleader: rm -r
TY
jrib: i don't like the lack of transparency.  anything we can do to find out more?  i.e., does removing the lens stop the tracking? this sounds obtrusive to me.
sneakyimp_: what "tracking"?
jrib: exactly my question
sneakyimp_: I'm not aware of any tracking
sneakyimp_, removing the lens stops amazon queries
so there's nothing to track anymore
Seveas:  OK that sounds reassuring, where is this documented?
hello o.O
sneakyimp_: there's also a toggle in the settings that disables all lenses that access the internet iirc
Any suggestions for an IDE that's similar to Visual Studio?
sneakyimp_, the code that does the searching gets removed.
Uhm I got a question, Can i make a Bootable USB for Lubuntu
"Lubuntu"
ben1066, yes, visual studio :) No two products are alike so best come up with features you want and select based on that. Eclipse will probably be ok
Can't say I'm a fan of eclipse...
ben1066: yes eclipse leaves a lot to be desired
me neither, my IDE is vim. But that's as much like visual studio as a pancake :)
I like pancakes :) but yeah really I'm just looking for something I'll be able to use....
r2d2 work man!
Seveas: thanks for the information. FWIW, I believe Ubuntu should provide transparency in this whole Amazon thing.  It smells kinda fishy.
ben1066, try some of the things from that list then. I'd go for kate or geany
Shaun_ , sure, use unetbootin or the usb-creator tool
Hey I'm struggling to setup a username + password for user on my FTP server http://howto.gumph.org/content/setup-virtual-users-and-directories-in-vsftpd/
sneakyimp_, can't say I disagree
I am trying to setup a firewall using fwbuilder. 4 computers are connected to a router, that is connected to the internet. I need to find out the IP of the router from my computer... how do i do this?
futureleader, you've spent maybe five minutes on it. Be a bit more persistent :)
Seveas:  cheers!  have a good wekend.
Lol ok
likewise!
Help. Im getting an error about device-mapper ioctl resume failed when trying to mount a truecrypt archive
hi there, i am using ubuntu 12.04 and i am using ipad3. i badly need to transfer movies from my laptop to my ipad. i dont have any other os on this laptop. is there a way to do so? million thanks
yeehi: icanhazip.com
yeehi, route -n | awk '/UG/{print $2}'
oh, maybe you meant that.
yeehi, or if you mean the external ip: http://ip.seveas.net
thanks jrib Seveas - let me tyr those things...
no, i found the external ip
hi i have a phenom II x 4 p
yeehi,  arp -a
cloudy, that'll show you all neighbours, not just the router. route -n | grep UG will give you the gateway you use
Seveas, you are right. Thank you for pointing it out.
I have a question that i cant find an answer to. How can I run Ubuntu 12 without a monitor?
mlaan, simple: don't attach a monitor :)
But it doesnt boot the gui. I'd like to run it as a server with a gui that I can VNC into
you can set up an account to autologin and rely on vnc's authentication for protection
but servers shouldn't have guis, that's blasphemy ;)
i know i know its crazy talk but i was hoping it was possible
it is, I just gave you some hints
though I've never tried it
you can also use nx instead of vnc, that doesn't require an autologin
mlaan, you could do an ssh with x forward and then use the local x server for the remote desktop.
okay thank you
nice I'll try that
thanks guys
I could use some help configuring /etc/network/interfaces with one additional IP address, and make it work :D
Anyone else having problems with vidalia in Ubuntu 12.10 ?
"No protocol specified
vidalia: cannot connect to X server :0.0
"
Jake--,  /usr/share/doc/ifupdown/examples/network-interfaces.gz has a nice example starting at line 43
Emery: I have no idea what videlia is but this seems like a generic problem to connect to X
hello all, I have a netgear usb wireless adaptor that wont show any connections?? I have installed the .inf file using windows wireless drivers. It show that hardware is present however under network connection/wireless i get no signals?
anyone know a product that works like unetbootin, and works in OS X?
_DanN_, It's a Tor component
Emery: are you trying to run this app as different user than the one which started X ?
any help much appreciated
no, i'm trying to run it under sudo
Adie, unetbootin should wotk under osx
otherwise i get permission errors
Seveas: it doesn't
Emery, use gksudo for gui apps
Emery: does this app need to have root permission ?
it never worked for me in lion a year ago, and it doesn't work for me in mountain lion today
Adie, http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/ says it does. If it doesn't for you, please report that bug to the unetbootin developers
 _DanN_ as I said it gives permission errors without
it's a known issue
Seveas, I'll give it a go
Seveas, Nah it's not even working with that at all
Emery: understand but why would gui app need root permissions ? tor is a web browser ..
no it's not
at all
Emery, are you actually inside X on a local machine? not ssh'ed to a remote?
Yep
Emery: where is your X server running ? do "ps -ef | grep X" for us
I'm on the box now
emery     5501  4942  0 22:20 pts/0    00:00:00 grep --color=auto X
so, X is not running
Emery: there is no server running
How can X not be running
lol
what would you expect
I'm using X to use xchat
no
Emery: are you sure you're on the box you're supposed to be ?
what
man
i'm using ubuntu
i'm using X
well, it't a lot easier to use the bundle tor Emery
no thanks.
05:06:05 /usr/bin/X :0 -auth ... you should see smoething like this
yes
I have that
As I said
how do i gte my netgear wpn111 usb wireless working with ubuntu 12.04    EXTREMELY FRUSTRATED !!!
X is running
Emery: I don't see the proof in the output you've provided
Bro
ghostconn: have you tried searching for the drivers in additional drivers or try to compile drivers for the chipset it uses?
I'm using ubuntu
DESKTOP
it has X running.
hi friends any solidsuggestions for faster boot speed.sometimes i wait three minutes
bekor use bootchart to see what is going on
_DanN_, X is running. So back to the problem, what is the problem with Vidalia
bekor: what compuer speed and what os? lol
Daxter : I have downloaded the linux driver which comes with a .inf file.. I followed a tutorial on the ubuntu forms page and installed the driver using windows wireless driver and it shows that the hardware is present however under network connection i gte no signals
can you tell me what bootchart is?
Emery: no, your X is not running
_DanN_, are you retarded ?
linux driver !== .inf file
Emery: do 'pidof X'
BRO
Emery: and stop insulting me please
I'm using unity
how can i use unity
without X ?
I believe the acceptable term is developmentally delayed
Hello! and HELP! I have downloaded Ubuntu 12.10.iso but I need to make a "CD" not a "DVD" the target system is an older one. IDEAS?
Emery: X IS REQUIRED to use Unity
"retarded" is not the preferred nomenclature
yes
otherwise nothign will display on screen
AND IM USING IT
exactly
DogOfWar, the iso is too big for a cd+r
DogOfWar: you could use the minimal install and it will pull nearly all the install material off the internet.
was i not suspose to install the .inf file?
anywya, anyone know if the SSD caching in H77 works in Linux, or more specifically, is the caching handled natively by the motherboard, completely transparently to the O/S, without the use of a driver - or is a driver required?
ghostconn: you can use the .inf file to install a windows driver, Id try to use a linux driver first though
DogOfWar, i just did an in OS upgrade from 12.04 through update manager
wifi adapters are notorious in linux for working or not working
Daxter, Clearly you know something. What's the problem here ? "vidalia: cannot connect to X server :0.0
"
Emery: you should start x
This I know. Way around? This system is wiped!
Are you serious
i don't believe that netgear ever made a linux driver for this device
that generally means X isn't running
How can I be using unity
without X ?
bekor: ah. 12.04 will be slow on that hardware, due to Unity's slowness. Id recommend using 10.04 or not using the 3D version of Unity
Emery: you cannot
exactly
Emery: you dotn use unity without X as X is the backend for all GUI displays in linux
so X IS active
So why are you telling me X isnt active
Emery: anyways, test it
Emery: prove it
if X was active, vidalia would not give you that error message
_DanN_, stop answering me please.
thanks i use gnome classic fine when booted but takes a long time to boot
PoolShark_, So how am I using xchat ?
Emery: Where are you trying to run vidalia from?
Magic ?
Emery: the evidence says you aren't
Emery: what the heck is "vidalia" never heardof that application.
-Emery- VERSION xchat 2.8.8 Ubuntu
k.
hoe do i text in red again?it has been awhile
You can get that error if you are trying to connect another user's X session.
Pici, My home box
xangua,  I'm not interested in the bundle
Emery: and you're trying to start vidalia from a shell? or from an icon?:
sorry for my typing
If you can grab a spare USB drive, you can use it instead of a DVD to start up the system DogOfWar.  Beyond that, you can try picking up the 12.04 LTS which does fit onto a CD and upgrading from there
Pici,  No i'm on my own box
Emery: I mean, are you running it from a terminal within an X session?
Emery: may I suggest you stop being angry - people really try to help - instead provide a little more detail
is there anything better then compiz for effects?
PoolShark_, I've tried both, Icon gives me permission errors
Emery: then there's probably something wrong with permissions
Pici, Vidalia is a GUI front end
compiz pretty much is effects
PoolShark_, I'm aware of that
Hence "sudo vidalia"
Emery: so why not fix them and see if the error goes away?
Is there a way to get a minimal install small enough to fit on a cd so I can get this system started?
Emery: don't run GUI apps with sudo - use gksudo
Emery: you should use gksudo for graphical applications. just sudo might cause issues with your environment (like not being able to connect to X)
PoolShark_,  Well this was my original question, But apparently I don't have X running
and ghostconn for you wireless check what chipset is in the adapter. then install the driver for that chipset. this may take some searching to actually find it and compile it. ocne again linux is notorious in wifi support.
Emery: do you want my help?
is there a way to remove the graphical login used in ubuntu 12.04 so that it is more like backtrack 5 with a text code based login
gksudo doesnt work.
i will thanks daxter
PoolShark_, Well IF you can help. And not telling me X isnt running.
ghostconn, remove gdm/ldm/kdm
Emery: and you neither need gksu for it
Emery: please cool down
Emery: are you sure your X server is running on 0.0?
guntbert, Well we're going round in circles, X must be running to use unity
Emery: and not 1.0 or 0.1 or sometihng?
 PoolShark_ how would I check that
Emery, echo $DISPLAY
ghostconn: replace lightdm with a different display manager. I'm not sure which ones provide text logins.
Emery: plese prove that your X is running and we can move on
Yup 0.0
_DanN_: please stop.
anyone running ubuntu on macbook air, 2012-model? my simple question: are the drivers you get directly from the installation up-to-date?
Emery: but you have x disabled
_DanN_, Stop with your input
please help! iv updated a notebook from 10.10 to 12.04, (passing through 11, only via update manager) but now a bunch of files that were in my gnome desktop are gone! does the update deletes all my desktop files?
You know nothing _DanN_ so stop answering please.
thanks everyone :)
Emery: just ignore them
dtcrshr, no, I've never heard of an update doing that
and you positive you're shelled into your local machine
Pici, I intend to.
dtcrshr: it shoudnt delte your files. however application shortcuts are a different story.what exactly got delted?
Relax folks. :)  They just tryin to help.
PoolShark_, I'm sat at my machine now, it's a fresh install
X is running on 0.0
what's this vidalia thing?
It's a GUI for Tor
I'm reallu curious how this thing gets resolved
Emery: what error do you get if you don't run it with sudo/gksudo/gksu ?
did you install it with apt-get?
Emery, can you pastebin the output of strace however_you_start_vidalia
erming: mine is a little older and everything minus wireless worked just fine, had to wire to my network and download the driver module from broadcomm to get wifi to work
Pici,  I get permission errors
Emery: Specifically?
That it needs permission to edit certain files
which files?
ghostconn: did you try installing drivers for your computer with 'additional drivers' panel? you may need a wired conenction for it to get updated drivers.
mindstorm: well, mine works great too.. but i noticed the battery isnt as long-lived as when running osx.. + VLC sometimes spikes when i watch movies
That's not the error i'm concerned with, the error i am concerned with is "No protocol specified
vidalia: cannot connect to X server :0.0
"
i'm really green on ubuntu, i don't even know how to get drivers.. :D
erming: search for additional drivers
if you driver isnt in there... then it opens a new can of worms
is there any application that can help me with that, or should i search the internet for them?
humor me please
DogOfWar, I am not finding any way to cut down on the file size.  If it were Fedora, I would say to do a minimalist respin, but I am not seeing that type of option anywhere on the Ubuntu website
Daxter: yes I have tried using the additional drivers to find it all that shows up is my drivers for my video card
im trying my best to find what chipset the wpn111 uses
darn.. sometimes wifi shows up in there
PoolShark_, Do you know anything about the error i'm interested in ?
not an easy tak lol
task*
yah its not fun
Emery: no, I guess I don't. I'll leave you alone now
PoolShark_, fun eh, if they don't actually want to be helped? :)
exactly ;)
Seveas: I really don't give a shit to be honest with you
had wifi problems (And driver searching) with 10.04 and a realtek chipset
not fun
PoolShark_, !language
Seveas: I don't care for how long they beat their heads into the wall
Seveas, When who doesn't want to be helped ?
yeah yeah I get it.. sheesh. I don't need 8 different bosses giving me hard time when I make a mistake
Emery, well you. YOu're very agressive towards anyone attempting to help and refuse to provide details needed to help you. This makes it hard for us to actually provide help or even be motivited to try to do so.
Seveas, How are they helping when ones telling me X ISNT running ? Well do you know cause you're grilling other people and I didn't see you answer atleast PoolShark_ had a go.
Remember that we're all volunteers here, no one has to help you and your attitude sure doesn't help paying for the free support.
oh I see what's going on
Emery: someone metioned a while back echo $DISPLAY
Emery, I can't begin to help without more information. Which I've asked you to provide but so far you haven't done so.
see what server you are running on and f it matches 0:0
Emery, You should simply download Vidalia as part of a Tor software bundle. Users should be using Tor Browser Bundle, not installing Vidalia themselves. >> https://www.torproject.org/projects/vidalia.html.en
otherwise we dont know where to start helping you
Seveas, What is this lack of information I've provided ?
Emery: are you going to answer my question about how you installed vidalia?
OerHeks, I'm using Vidalia.
read the scrollback. Or don't, as I'm not even going to attempt to help you anymore :)
Emery: I asked you quite a while ago
PoolShark_, The only way you can install vidalia.
which is?
move on
my goodness
what an answer
hah
How is there attitude ?
When you fucking retards can't decide on the colour of orange juice ?
Emery: just answer my question. What method did you use to install vidalia?
oh well
Emery: I suggest you change your tone now or I will be forced to ban you and you can seek support elsewhere
I tried
finally hes gone
geez
soem people are unpleaseable
in the tor irc for example
so, now that there's peace and quiet again... who actually needs support?
Daxter:          http://pastebin.com/Sb2XDryQ     dose this explaine anything
xangua, well... if you're running ubuntu, why shouldn't we at least attempt to help?
xangua, not sure, but even the tor page suggest to use the tor package, as you suggested.
whats the name of that prograsm that lets you brose youtube from the desktop?
program*  lol
FlyingElvis, firefox? :)
brose*  lol holy heck my typing sucks
that looks ok i guess ghostconn, idk havent used nidswrapper (havent had to) ever since 9.04
FlyingElvis: there are lots of them
can someone explain to me how to switch between Unity 3d and 2d?
ya  it isnt a web browser
FlyingElvis, minitube maybe?
Mattsyco: its a login option
i think thats it Seveas
choose what shell you want when entering your password when loggin in
daxter
FlyingElvis, tip: apt-cache search youtube :)
dtcrshr: ?
FlyingElvis, try the youtube lens
please ask your question
the folder inside my /home/user/desktop is empty
FlyingElvis: minitube, umplayer, so does totem with a plugin
i had a bunch of ods, video files, documents
mostly that i was working at the time were into the desktop
okies  ill go hunting  ty much guys and gals
is there a log somewhere?
dtcrshr, did you check your homedir and the trash folder?
dtcrshr: search for some filenames, see if they still exist
iv searched in the 3 users i have iside the home folder
dtcrshr, installing/removing packages from the official repos never touches /home, so an upgrade (which disables 3rd party repos) won't do this
where is the trash folder?
go to nautilus, click on trash on the left
~/.local/share/Trash, or click on the trash icon in the unity panel or the file browser
its empty
ok search in nautilus for some of the file names. also check under differnt users in /home (if any)
@test
how do i search recursively? i could do it from the terminal
dtcrshr, find -name '*.doc' will find any .doc in a folder or its subfolders
ill do that
thanks
ubuntu rocks. over and out :D
erming: roger dodger
is there any objective reason to use hexchat in ubuntu instead of xchat?
DemonWitch: just use irssi ftw
* Geck00 prefers xchat.
DemonWitch, hexchat? where can I find that?
DemonWitch, there are more clients than that, I use Quassel for instance
wyclif, i use irssi for tty, irssi doesnt have ssl though
Seveas, google enable some ppa
dont forget bitchx, if that's still around
Hi, I have a query if anyones able to answer
chudler: Mr. Rogers uses BitchX, do you?
chudler, not in debian/ubuntu repos anymore as it's a security risk :)
why thanks mr bot.
I was trying to move a bunch of folders to /apple/cake from apple/cake/pie/x/x/x/x/x/x/x
however i meant to move them to /apple/cake/pie
DemonWitch, ah i see, an xchat fork. No need for that
So now there all in /apple/cake/ So basically I want to move ALL files/folders from apple/cake/ to apple/cake/pie/
without including the folder pie
in the command
Sam86, type out in one line too..
Sam86, easy, cd /apple/cake; mv * pie
mv will complain it can't move pie to itself but happily do the others
o my god, my files are really gone
i cant  find any of them! how could an update kill my desktop files!!! i see many posts on google now with similar problems, going from gnome to unity
omg, im screwed
Seveas complains some directories are not empty,
Sam86, err, that means it moved some files in those directories but couldn't move others due to permission issues
http://i.imgur.com/8XRSr.png Directory not empty means permissions?
dtcrshr, just as a stab in the dark...have you tried booting a live distro and searching the mounts in question?
Odd, wouldn't it say permissions for that.
you're going to need to give me some more details, like the output of ls /apple/cake and ls /apple/cake/pie
ls -la that is
K, but none of the folders with contents moved.
no
However i guess there are only 5 folders I could just manual cp the rest. but I'd rather know a way for future use
dtcrshr, its worth a try IMO :/
iv only updated via web... today I was at the university , where the internet is REALLY good, so iv gave a shot to update from 10.10 to  the latest rts
I sent the ls -la via pm Seveas
didnt used much, was goint to start working now
Sam86, no pm received
Ugh stupid web client, I've no irc properly on this pc
1 sec
ill give a shot. but i have no no "desktop" folder inside my /home, not even with a different language as told in some posts
dtcrshr: you updated 3 times? 10.10 -> 11.04 -> 11.10 -> 12.04?
Sam86, mail to seveas@seveas.net works too :)
Ah there we go
yes
took 3 hours
Daxter, thanks for the help, didn't realize Unity 2d wasn't installed by default with 12.10
Mattsyco:  not only not installed.. but dosent exist in 12.10 ;)
dtcrshr, do you know the exact name of a file you lost? if so, run 'locate that_filename'. If locate files: sudo apt-get install mlocate && sudo updatedb   then try again
dtcrshr: did you have encrypted homes by any chance?
yeah, I ended up grabbing the gnome GUI dr_willis
jrib no
my user didnt even asked for password on login
dtcrshr, it still had one fyi
dtcrshr: ok well if you're sure you didn't have encrypted homes setup, I won't go down that road
I enjoy how Unity looks, but it is such a resource hog that my games are slowing to a crawl
dtcrshr: did you have a separate partition for your home?
jrib, ooh, inspired thought. dtcrshr if you don't know, run these commands and pastebin the output: sudo fdisk -l; mount
dtcrshr: Could you pastebin the output of "sudo blkid", the contents of /etc/fstab, and the output of "find /home/"? (The last command may include filenames of your personal files, so check that there isn't anything you don't want public before pastebining it).
ill try
hi
Have you heard about the new ubuntu
dknz2008: nope, what's ubuntu?
Oh, its a type of porn
dknz2008: heh, ok well keep in mind this channel is for support with the operating system
not to mention family-friendly :)
Oh, i see.
Does anyone actually say anything on this or do they all just sit dormant waiting?
* dknz2008 slaps Emmanuel_Chanel around a bit with a large trout
dknz2008: you've managed to join for the 5 minutes that #ubuntu is pretty quiet
I'm amazed at this, too.
oh, i see.
It's usually extremely busy.
What do people usually talk about?
Ubuntu stuff.
Support.
?
Exclusively.
lol
It's a support channel. No more, no less.
dknz2008: we have a more fun channel at #ubuntu-offtopic where you can talk about (almost) anything
I will go there.
Is there an easy way to convert from the grub boot loader to the windows one?
walterwoj: windows boot loader doesn't play nice with linux, so no.
Even if I use a program like EasyBCD to make it play nice?
I don't know.
ok, thanks
Jordan_U: pastebin.com exceeded 500kb of the commands yout old me. is there any bigger paster?
newb question: anyone had a good VPS experience for precise, with no VPN mischief
dauntless: just don't get a openvz/virtuozzo/vserver, and there will likely be little "mischief"
dauntless: real VMs, not containers
ok
sounds good
any companies you've had success with?
i used a couple and had issues with setting up a VPN, they were resolved but it was a pain
dauntless: Try and check out Linode; I've had good experience with them. Their support is amazing, too; may want to e-mail them and ask in advance.
ok, thanks very much
dauntless: I also use linode, never had to contact support though
but my VPS is debian, not ubuntu
i did once. i had a reply 5 minutes later on a sunday afternoon.
well, that sounds nice ;)
Can someone help me print something to a varible file in bash please?
matada, can you be more specific?
I'm writing a menu system in bash, and I want to log the output to a file
can anyonetell if is possible to get a diff from the last changes made in launchpat for a certain project ?
simplew: Try #launchpad if you get nothing meaningful in here.
matada, that's not more specific but an entirely different question ;)
lol.
matada, you mean somthing like this? echo "Hello world" > $filename
simplew for what project?
dose anyone know of a good system equalizer for ubuntu 12.04?
graphical would be good
http://pastebin.com/DxidzUZe This is my menu, Down in case $opt I'd like it to print a model (say  epicmtd) to the terminal, then take that output and put in a varibles folder under $device
erm not varible folder, varible file
matada: ##linux is the place for that type of question
ok thanks
almoxarife: matada: no, #bash
almoxarife, matada: not reall, #bash (or ##bash, I forgot) is more appropriate
Seveas: if it's ##bash, we both know #bash would forward to it. ;)
Seveas: alrighty then
lhavelund, I lost track of freenode politics :)
too many channels LOL
Seveas: yeah...
matada, but I'm afraid I still don't quite understand what you want. Could you write it in the script in pseudocode?
(it's quiet here, so I don't mind helping)
i'm about to install ubuntu on my 13" retina macbook pro
matada, I do spot 2 bugs in the first four lines though. You may want to start by reading abs
if i choose "Replace Mac OS X with Ubuntu"
will it delete the recovery partition too?
walter: Possibly.
walter, likely. That option makes it want to use the entire disk as it sees fit
There isn't a Side-Along install option, is there?
there should be? there is on windows
silly
Magiobiwan, I read that as sing-along option. That would be awesome :D
i don't see one, but i can manually choose the partitions
Not really, Seveas
You don't want to hear me sing
OerHeks: im on it, anyway thanks
When i write " sudo aptitude install nmap " in terminal i get this message " sudo: aptitude: command not found " anybody who can help out?
Guest23412, sudo apt-get install nmap
Guest23412  use apt-get, not aptitude
Guest23412, aptitude is depreciated, use apt-get
or if you really want to use aptitude: sudo apt-get install aptitude :-)
aah ok
thanks!
I wonder. Has anyone asked "What's a Linux?" in here before?
Magiobiwan, yes. Usually trolling, but occasionaly an innocent passer-by
Seveas: aptitude doesn't support multiarch.  see "/msg ubottu aptitude" for details.
zykotick9, ah good to know. Though I don't use multiarch myself
what is the best solution everyone has found for google drive with ubuntu so far? wine? InSync thingy?
nostrum_: how about insync?
nostrum_: the best/safest  solution would be the web page, my opinion
kind of far fetch but.... is there such software to run a spectrum analyzer visual effect as you're desktop background? always thought that would be absolutely amazing and this would be the place to find out lol.... any thoughts
ghostconn: there is faked ones
im into allot of house and trance just thought it would be cool
zykotick9, Seveas: aptitude in 12.10 should be ok with multi-arch.  According to the changelog anyway
what do you mean faked ones?
ghostconn, sure just run it on the root window
nostrum_, try insync >> http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2012/08/insync-brings-google-drive-to-ubuntu
ghostconn, I think mplayer running in the root window should be able to do this
ghostconn, http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-162897.html
ghostconn: i mean that its not really analyzing anything, just a gif
f
live background is sort of old, i used to run syslog errors as a background
almoxarife, thats a great idea... when everything goes to **** and your logs start flying past you migraine kicks in to give you an extra warning sign
thanks guys this might put me on the right track... im really looking for a fully working spectrum analyzer im not worried about the cpu power or ram lol im running two i7 980's with 32bg 2000oc
escott: i had to turn it off, i hated the reality of how broke i was real time, i figured it would work itself out or really make itself know, them errors i mean
Using Ubuntu 12.10 and wondering what is the best driver to install for my ATI 7850 as everything is really laggy.
I'm looking for resources to write initscripts, but I'm a bit out of touch and I know modern distros use other things now. What resources are available to help me learn how to write the modern equivelant of /etc/init.d/foo scripts?
blazemore, good old initscript still work like they did last century.
upstart is nice but ubuntu-specific, so if you want to be distro agnostic, either stick to initscripts, or do initscripts, upstart and systemd
blazemore: the upstart cookbook is pretty good.  And yes, you could just write the old-style scripts if you prefer
Seveas: To be honest, it's a Debian server, I just figured I'd get a quicker answer in here ;) (And thanks jrib) - is it still "alright" to just write initscripts for things like my Mumble, Minecraft and TF2 servers?
blazemore, absolutely
I'm having a sound issue on Hybryde Evolution
I'll just do that then, at least I know how to use them when things break!
blazemore: pretty sure debian doesn't use upstart, best to ask #debian
Could I get some assistance with this
pwnsauce_: Is that the little Dell machine?
blazemore: Its an alienware, so yeah
pwnsauce_: Is it tiny?
pwnsauce_: I mean, physically
blazemore: No, its huge, weighs like 10+ pounds
seriously
Oh. I can maybe help anyway if you describe your issue in a little more detail
blazemore: Its an alienware mx17r3
blazemore: Ah, my thanks sir. I just installed hybryde evolution and I can't get the sound to work
pwnsauce_: So what's the sound problem you're having?
Jordan_U: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1346544/
pwnsauce_: Sorry, crossed wires :)
using ubuntu 12.04 precise
pwnsauce_: Isn't Hybryde a distro?
blazemore:  yes
And you can't get sound to work at all?
Does sound work in normal Ubuntu on the same hardware?
Is YPOPs still active?  Is there a better substitute?
sorry I missed peoples input got a call, so let me ask again here and maybe get a few more responses... best google drive client for ubuntu right now is what?
nostrum_: the browser!
walterwoj: The latest version of YPOPS was released on 10th of March 2009
blazemore: I used peppermint 2 os before this, and I had to configure the sound, but I had the support from the forums at peppermint.. very nice people btw, great distro pep2/pep3
nostrum_: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2012/08/insync-brings-google-drive-to-ubuntu
almoxarife: but I need it synced cause I don't trust google's server backup
blazemore: So I guess thats a no.
pwnsauce_: Sadly I don't actually know about sound problems much
almoxarife: I wish they had rsync capabilities
blazemore:  No worries, thanks for asking and attempting
gah, nautilus keeps sorting my home directory (and some other random directories i think) by modification date and in reversed order. anyone know how to fix this?
pwnsauce_: I jumped on your issue because Dell make a PC called the "hybrid" which I have, and you have to install a specific package to get audio over HDMI. I thought that might have been related but it's not. Have you tried following the sound troubleshooting guide on the Wiki?
blazemore: have you used it before? did it work well and not mess up your drive or local storage?
nostrum_: Never touched it :)
nostrum_: I've heard good things about it though on Reddit and OMG!
nostrum_: you dont what? be for real, you dont trust google to backup?
blazemore: well then I'd argue you shouldn't recommend it :)
blazemore: If you could point me in the direction of someone or a page that could, I would be in your debt
Anyone know a good way (other than the browser) for getting mail from yahoo?
walterwoj, hold on
nostrum_: I didn't recommend it I just sent you the link in case you hadn't come across that one yet
walterwoj, http://fetchyahoo.twizzler.org/
almoxarife: nope I don't trust anyone, plus I've had issues with google before losing files
pwnsauce_: Let's do this
i would recommend insync, but i expect that after beta they will want $$$$$!!!!
pwnsauce_: Open a terminal and run "aplay /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front_Center.wav"
nostrum_: good luck
pwnsauce_: Do you hear anything? (I apologise if you get a file not found error)
pwnsauce_  or aplay /usr/share/sounds/alsa/*
dtcrshr: Do you know why you have an xfs partition for /tmp/?
blazemore:  No sound, but I recieved this as the repsonse
Playing WAVE '/usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front_Center.wav' : Signed 16 bit Little Endian, Rate 48000 Hz, Mono
cyphase: Thanks I'll check it out.
pwnsauce_: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Audio/Alsamixer
pwnsauce_: sorry, disregard that
yeah I was testing that earlier
pwnsauce_: sudo apt-get install pavucontrol
blazemore:  Actually
pwnsauce_: then run pavucontrol
blazemore:  I could use your help in figuring out where to put two lines of code
blazemore: In a config file
walterwoj, no problem. it works well (though i haven't run it in a while)
Jordan_U: yes. for kdenlive a xfs partition for tmp helps significantly on performance
blazemore:  Ran both of those
pwnsauce_: Are you following some instructions? If so, link them here
pwnsauce_: So we're both on the same page
I just installed ubuntu and decided to remove windows. I made a gparted live CD and removed the NTFS partitions. It finished (really quickly) and I rebooted. Instead of booting up ubuntu it says Intel UNDI, PXE-2.1 No bootable device -- insert boot disk and press any key
SeducingOrange: Did you actually install Ubuntu?
blazemore: Yeah. It was working fine
blazemore: pwnsauce_, i recommend running/install 'alsamixer' and insure that all 'mm' are cleared from 'outputs' first
the /images, / music are just fine, the files were there
the problem is the files that were on the desktop
blazemore: I am thinking that my hardrive failed and it is trying to boot from network but I am not sure
SeducingOrange: did you move the ubuntu partition
krababbel: I resized it to fill up the disk
SeducingOrange: did you move its start? then you need to reinstall grub
krababbel: No. Just resized it
moving the start of a partition changes its ID.
the user i use is mauro Jordan_U
krababbel: Are all of the files still there? I cant boot from a disc either...
dtcrshr: That's not what I asked. It looks like all of your directories have been translated into Spanish.
its portuguese
when i first installed 10.10, i choosed portuguese also
krababbel: How do I go about reinstalling grub? I am really panicking here :(
dtcrshr: OK, what directory are you looking for to find your "Desktop"?
how would i make it so that another user other than root can cat /var/log/audit/audit.log
Has anyone tried to use gwibber with facebook?  I can't get mine to update,  I authorize it and it says success and then nothing...
SeducingOrange: Can you boot from a LiveCD/USB?
Jordan_U: I tried to boot from the Ubuntu LiveCD and I just got a black screen
SeducingOrange: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2/Installing
Also, how do you get a console open?  I can't find it...
Jordan_U: I booted before without any boot parameteres
SeducingOrange: everything should be fine, you just changed the root partition ID, and grub doesn't know that automatically
how would i make it so that another user other than root can cat /var/log/audit/audit.log
I thing that I am most concerned about is losing all of the files
krababbel: Okay. Thanks a lot for the help :)
iv tried the "area de trabalho"
SeducingOrange: read the link, use an ubuntu live cd to reinstall grub2 :)
which is desktop into portuguese
 krababbel: Okay. The problem is is that I cant boot a livecd tho. Like I said I get a black screen. When I booted the disc to install and when I booted the grub disc I didnt need a special boot parameter
hi
dtcrshr: could you pastebin ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs?  Also, I hope you find your files, but whether or not you do, you should realize how important it is to have backups.  Everyone has this moment, where they get a sinking feeling in their gut because they may have just lost some files forever and have no backups.  The smart ones, only have this feeling one time :)
SeducingOrange: try the parameter, sometimes PCs do weird things, like suddenly not working the same way they did 5 minutes before
hey all
SeducingOrange: so, yes just try to boot the install cd again
krababbel: Okay. Ill try. Ill come back in an hour or so if I need help again :)
is there anybody here from Costa Rica?
every time I tell my machine to reboot.. it crashes
hey guys, can't enable wireless or install ati driver, says that can't find kernel header or source
i know. the bad think is that this is a friends notebook. I myself installed ubuntu 10.10 about an year ago. since on the update manager it asked that the ubuntu version he was using, i took it to update here on the university. I only did was login into my user, i didnt even entered his mauro user, and updated via the graphical environment. after that, i got the notebook back to him, but his desktop files are gone. Im into a bad situation, si
nce I didnt realize i had to backup his files only because of a dist upgrade, never imagined such a caveat this horribly managed to update and delete desktop files
now its my fault. he complains that i had never had to update if i lost his job
this is no good, I don't have a remote console or remote rebooter switch, I need to fix this... its dying at swapper, has a kernel panic, right after drives unmount
has anyone seen this before?
any tips on proper way to mount a windows shared folder in my ubuntu 21.04 running in a vmware box? been trying for a couple of days with no luck
dtcrshr: so the "mauro" user is the one whose files are missing?
yes
i created my name just to use when iv installed, no big deal
I clearly remember his desktop when he was working
dtcrshr: what's one file you know for sure is missing?
some icons, shortcuts, some files, folders
for instance a video - m2u00903
please guys, i can't activate any driver on jockey http://pastebin.com/dt20Xpva
dtcrshr: because I think at some point there was a switch from using ~/Desktop for downloads to ~/Downloads.  Are you sure that his files aren't in ~/Downloads (or the translated version)?
dont remember the extension
download word isnt translated to the portuguese distros
we brasilians just eat up the english language without complaining :D
* PoolShark_ returns
YokoBR: copy the whole errormsg (if its more than a line please into a pastebin) and show it to us.
k1l_, http://pastebin.com/dt20Xpva
YokoBR: and tell us what ubuntu you are using, what kernel, what did you modify etc
k1l_, my life went into a mess when i upgraded to ubuntu 12.04
and my kernel is 3.2.6
YokoBR: that is no ubuntu kernel
jValentin1, bridged or NAT
is there a gui utility to configure redshift?
not this toggle thingie
jrib: on the XDG_DESKTOP-DIR="$HOME/Area de Trabalho"
dtcrshr: just pastebin the whole file
its about 10 lines, but im accessing it via another computer here, via team viewer, do you really need the whole file?
k1l_ but system monitor says Ubuntu Release 12.04 (precise) 64-bit Kernel Linux 3.2.6
dtcrshr: use the command line program "pastebinit" if it's easier for you
jrib: he confirmed a folder name with certain: 240309
 When I run pbuilder-dist, I'm getting file not found errors when it tries to download some needed packages. What can I do to fix this?
hm sure think, ill do that[
YokoBR: as you can see: 12.04 got only the 3.2.0- kernels http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?suite=precise&searchon=names&keywords=linux-image
My command I'm running is 'pbuilder-dist raring build ../apport_2.6.2-0ubuntu3.dsc'
YokoBR: so what ubuntu is it? (or is it a ubuntu spinoff?), or did you manually install a kernel. or do you have a PPA active which got other kernels,....
the third option, i have backtrack ppa
k1l_, backtrack ppa must have installed this kernel..
YokoBR: ok, then ask the backtrack guys what they are doing wrong. its not an ubuntu problem
ok, sorry then, dude
jrib: can you help me with the pastebinit sintaxe?
or use ppa-purge to get rid of that ppa. a standard ubuntu should do
iv tryed pastebinit cat ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs
dtcrshr: pastebinit FILE
jrib: paste.ubuntu.com/1346612
I was able to boot into a root console for the ubuntu partition. How do I rescue it?
How do you find a console?
walterwoj: What I put in a grub LiveCD and rescued it. I got as far as console and now I do not know what to do
is there some app that'll give me cool scratchpad functionality like the one found in ion3/notion?
Please help me. I have no clue what to do. Someone said that the partition ID changed... How do I set it back?
mspencer: I would guess pbuilder-dist raring update; first
I got into a root console on it
is there a flstudio alternative for ubuntu 2.04
trism: Okay, I'll try that
SeducingOrange: Sorry I can't help you,  I know less about this than you do... I'm trying to find out how to OPEN a console in this newfangled interface (GRRRRRR!)
ghostconn: lmms is.. unfinished.  ardour is cool, but it's a little different from fl.
walterwoj: ctrl+alt+t?
d1gital : thanks buddy :)
I just installed a fresh copy of Ubuntu for the first time, everything seems to be working fine except the sound. for some reason theres no audio at all.
walterwoj: Oh. I can help you with that. Press dash home in the top left corner then type Terminal, after that eiher click it or drag it to your side bar. You can also type C-M t
trism: Thanks!
SeducingOrange: what changed?
Any suggestions?
dauntless: I got into a root console on the ubuntu partition. How do I change back the boot id?
SeducingOrange: Thank you too!
i am having wifi adhoc  isuue
SeducingOrange: What I'm asking is what changed that made this happen?
walterwoj: no problem
dauntless: I booted a grub live CD and booted my ubuntu partition from that. How do I go about reinstalling grub and fixing X?
oh wait. nevermind, grub-install
is this right?
Can anyone help me setup my sound?
?
SeducingOrange: http://howtoubuntu.org/how-to-repairrestorereinstall-grub-2-with-a-ubuntu-live-cd/
dauntless: Thanks a lot :D
dauntless: After that, will X be already setup?
is there any software for ubuntu 12.04 to use my Novation Launchpad Ableton Live Controller?
i hope so or im gunna be saddd
SeducingOrange: its really nothing, just googled that, I have done this before, but i setup a partition just for this purpose -- re: X I am not sure. Grub just says which partition to boot from I think
is the easiest way to make your own live cd/distro by virtual machine? and if so what program do you use to make the live cd etc?
dauntless: Ok. X should be easy to setup after that. I did come from Arch Linux after all!
anyone please?
SeducingOrange: It should go back to normal if nothing destructive happened prior to the event...
dauntless: Is resizing ubuntu ad deleting windows partitions destructive? All data seems to be intact however
SeducingOrange: That is what I was trying to determine before -- hence the question "what happened?" usually you don't have grub issues unless some destructive event occurs, i.e. file or disk corruption
i dont have any sound what do I do?
dauntless: Yeah
jrib: any clues?
dtcrshr: no
dauntless: Thanks a lot for your help, comrade. I will see you on the other side!
SeducingOrange: best of luck
dauntless: Didnt have one. Was setting up PC for a old laptop for my even older Aunt. I really appreciate your helo :) see ya around!
lmms is horrible lol
where is the heart of producing with linux? im guessing there is no equivalent software such as fl studio or ableton ? I heard that linux had a ton lol
escott: bridged, I read that I needed to use bridged so I switched to that
jValentin1, should make your life easier
escott: it doesn't seem to help
jValentin1, can the windows machine ping the vm
ghostconn: i use kxstudio. ardour for DAW, rosegarden or mixxx to build some sequences
hidrogen for drumssssssss
many others. if you have a nice interface you should try using a rt kernel also
escott:  just did a succesful ping
jValentin1, so what have your tried to set up to mount?
:P
ill try it out thanks dtcrshr
escott:  first, pmount /media/win-work/ work, but that didn't work (no pun intended)
i dont have any sound what do I do?
what does while [ - e /proc/1234 ] actually do? what is the -e ?
is there a good piano rool that I can use my ableton Live Controller
jValentin1, i dont know pmount does
hmm, got that off the web, maybe I used the wrong method
WHAT_UP, checks for the existence of that folder (and no space between - and e) its also a dead stupid thing to put in a script
escott: why's it stupid?
when I saw some videos about 12.10 beta, there was an icon at the top right corner where you could see ubuntu one synchronization progress. However, after I upgraded to 12.10 I don't see it. Do I have to install it somehow?
WHAT_UP, nothing would guarantee the process PID is 1234
escott: right, i put that in here because i didn't think you'd all care about seeing %d s
jValentin1, can you get to stuff with smb://ipaddress in nautilus
hey ppl
 i need some help with watt os
justaneewbie: this channel doesn't support offshoots of ubuntu
any body can help me with my watt os distro ?
can anyone tell me how to get my sound to work on ubuntu please?
im havving soome sort of problems intsalling apps on watt os r6
escott: yes, that worked fine from within nautilus, providing the workgroup, username and pw
justaneewbie, find the watt os support please (hint: it's not here)
jValentin1, then its just cause your pmount command isn't working. its not a networking issue
justaneewbie, we don't support forks, better ask @ http://www.planetwatt.com/chat
jValentin1, if you visit it in nautilus, you can then also see it in ~/.gvfs/
Seveas: thanks for that, it should help
but was also trying to make this a permanent share
i'm using Ubuntu 11.10. Can anyone tell me whether I can use an IDE for KDE or GNOME ?
escott: I realized my understanding of pmount is wrong and I probably entered it wrong
I have a problem with my audio its not working at all, I'm running 12.10, This is my first linux desktop so I dont know how to begin.
jValentin1, pmount isn't the right thing to do for permanent shares. You'll need to add it to /etc/fstab as a cifs mount
I think pmount is for mounting removable devices as normal user, but maybe I don't need that
jValentin1, correct, that's what pmount was for
breiak, you should probably make sure you have the speakers plugged into the right output first of all
breiak: what make model computer,
sneakyimp_, They are - everything sounds perfectly fine in windows
Anybody know why I don't have the option for 3D mode on the login screen? I am using the correct video card driver
dauntless, its an Intel pc with an onboard soundcard.
Seveas, I also tried modifying fstab and then a new device appears in nautilus, but when I click on it the message comes up "unable to mount"
break, so was it working BEFORE you installed 12.10
breiak, so everything sounds good and without changing any connections you boot into ubuntu and no audio?
jValentin1, then the line in /etc/fstab was wrong, or you didn't do 'mount -a' after adding it
sneakyimp_, exactly.
I wonder if Emery ever got vidalia workinfg
breiak, do you happen to know what make/nodel of your mobo?
heh
dauntless, I really have no idea what a mobo is.
breiak: motherboard
Hmm, not sure.
How do I find that out?
breiak, mobo=motherboard --
breiak, did you try to setup your sound by selecting system settings and then sound.
I did try to play with that for a bit kostkon , with no success.
breiak: sudo dmidecode | more
jValentin1, a correct cifs mount line looks like this: //10.1.1.1/Sharename/Folder	/path/to/local/folder	cifs	username=myuser,password=mypass,soft,uid=1000,file_mode=0600,dir_mode=0700	0 0
breiak: assuming you know to run that from a terminal
dauntless, I do: http://pastebin.com/Bd2rmVq2
Seveas:  ok, I found something different (via google):
.host:/work    /media/win-work     vmhgfs  rw,user,noauto,exec,utf8 0       0
jValentin1, that's rather wrong for a samba/cifs share. Try mine
Seveas: in previous versions of Ubuntu, I did not need to add my username/pw to fstab
jValentin1, if the share doesn't require authentication you don't need to add that
is there another way to mount just using the shares I added to my vmware box?
dauntless, does that help?
sneakyimp_, scroll back, you allready have the answer from ubottu
breiak: not exactly what we wanted,  -- the thing is, 12.10 is very recent and it _should_ work, but if for some weird reason the kernel doesn't support the audio chipset that could be your problem
oerheks: thx.  flood control i'm guessing
breiak: have you ever had linux on this box with audio working?
yea
Hey, does anyone know if you can setup software RAID1 from 12.04 LTS? The wiki on ubuntu.com is outdated (9.10)
it was ubuntu 10 something
breiak: what release?
dauntless, I think 10.10
redshift rule for my old notebook
breiak: sounds like 12.10 might have an issue, or you don't have the proper driver installed or config is messed up
can anyone tell me if qtcreator supports development of PHP or Java code?
I remember older versions of ubuntu didn't require mounting  via samba,  so I really would like to find those methods again
breiak, could you give in a terminal:  aplay -l
jValentin1, CIFS
kostkon, http://pastebin.com/1NWM7P1u
breiak, try again to setup your sound. try all the possible combinations of devices, connectors, etc. also check the volume levels.
breiak: when you did the dmidecode, did you find a string with motherboard? you are looking for a Motherboard model
dauntless, I pastebinned everything that was there, that was it :/
kostkon, I cant get it to work
breiak, what do you mean
kostkon, I literally tried every combination that was there
breiak, how are you testing it?
breiak: this might be of help: http://askubuntu.com/questions/25430/audio-not-working
kostkon, using the test button.
breiak, test button?
breiak: also, have you tried headphones? I know it might seem counterintuitive.
breiak, try playing an audio file
i tried it
breiak, ok, open a terminal and give: alsamixer
breiak, did it run?
yes
breiak, press F5 and then check all the volume levels and switches, if there are any
trying to fix my openwrt router, attempting to eliminate the possibility that I have a networking issue with ubuntu

john_doe_jr, perhaps use a html editor
thank you much much much better :) :)
sudo apt-get isntall UNetbootin
john_doe_jr, open the css file, or if it is embedded in the html, the html file and search for the text-align css property. more info here http://www.w3schools.com/cssref/pr_text_text-align.asp for example
type that command into a termianl

someone here know about Apache ? tnx
Chaterz, just ask the real question and find out?
what can i do with Apache,tnx
...
hi, how can I kill a process that doesnt bulge with a kill -9, without rebooting?  I think it's because I killed the screen window without terminating a script.sh &
in there a way to add font size(besides normal small large) to universal access panel?
i need something between small and normal
can someone help me get my netgear usb wpn111 working
OerHeks, ??
Chaterz, apache is a HTTP or webServer
vn: assuming you used sudo?
if i have two machines and internet, i can do a britge with a apage to share files betwen both machines ?
with Apache*
Chaterz, i would use NFS or samba to share files, not apache
why not Apache ?
Chaterz: are the two machines in different places?
dauntless, not exactly ,same place.
OerHeks, i need to find something easy to configure and for machines in different places
chaterz: ok, are they on the same network or on different networks?
the easier way to use files from different places is to use dropbox
but is depends on what you are trying to do
same wifi network,two laps. for example.
ok, so what exactly are you trying to do?
msg nickserv identify hznhyrejknzs
where's the "/" ;P
what OS are the two computers running
i cant get my netgear wpn111 usb wireless working... I have tried installing the .inf file using windows wireless drivers and it dose show that hardware is present but under network connections I get no signal
i cant get my netgear wpn111 usb wireless working... I have tried installing the .inf file using windows wireless drivers and it dose show that hardware is present but under network connections I get no signal
dauntless, linux and linux
samba is file sharing for windows, afp is for macs, nfs is sun's implementation of this
dauntless, have u got examples? cuz im a bit confused atm.
again, it depends on what you are trying to do
essential share files machine to machine
dauntless, samba is not windows-only
but maybe alocate files in a cloud with authentication,im not sure.
are you trying to share a single file once? or have a file server that allows users to save files to and retrieve them
OerHeks, true
dauntless, the second option with users
Chaterz, use dropbox or ubuntu-one, i prefer, so the host does not need to be online.
ok, are all the users behind the same firewall (as in a the same location with the same general network)?
i want the host online is awnsome.
dauntless, nop.
so there are in different places, yes?
*they
yes. but i talk build a server i guess
ok, how many files? large files as in movies or lots of pics
pics ,and txt files mostly
how many users?
private, maybe two
ok
so the best option is dropbox
it's dropbox like 4shared or 2shared ?
no
i have an account with them that is 200GB, but you can get an account that is 2GB for free
You need to set it up on each individual machine and it syncs between them
doesnt like dropbox
if you want on demand downloads, then you can set it up on one box and give the other machine access to a shared folder via a web interface
i want something with server and files to configure. like ftpd
then get a VPS and setup ftp
or an EC2 instance
or a dedicated server
i cant use apache or Mysql ?
how can i adjust the speed of the numpad mouse emulation
o-o
samba for share files linux to linux
chaterz: get a clear idea of what you want, you cant just throw out terms like mysql and apache. You have to have an idea of what you want to do, and a plan to make it happen. setting up an ftp server or a http frontend for a few files between two people is silly
just use dropbox
dropbox works very well, i use it hundreds of times a day
dauntless, my upload speed is shit, maybe with a server like samba i can share files fastly betwen machines.
I've got a question regarding GPG.  I have gpg-agent running, and "use-agent" in my gpg.conf file.  I don't have a gpg-agent.conf file, so I created one.  Will gpg-agent read from there or is there some other configuration file?
ok, well you said they WERE not in the same building
Also, is this better asked in a different channel?
XiaolinDraconis, maybe this page is up2date, i can't check, running kubuntu >>http://library.gnome.org/users/gnome-access-guide/stable/dtconfig-mousekeys.html
i put an example.
One more thing, I can't find out where gpg-agent is started... any ideas?
chaterz: http://thanhsiang.org/faqing/node/114
tnx, i know i need to read more.

question: i have a 13" 2009 macbook with 2gb ram, 2.26 ghz intel core 2 duo.  i want to install ubuntu, but am worried my computer won't handle it well. OSX currently runs semi-decently, with slow loading times and occasional lag.  do you think ubuntu will be better, the same, or worse?
Guest3221 hi
OerHeks: thanks. - yes that works but then the directory is included in the archive, which I want to avoid...
Guest3221, better.  I'm running it on my 5 year old macbook pro - still decent speed (and I'm picky)
something is wrong with my ubuntu. dialog boxes don't appear centered. it's like their parent window is the active one.
Guest3221, If you want to install Ubuntu, I'd recommend installing an LTS
OerHeks: I need it for a backup script and dont want the directories included into the tar archive, but only the files (therefore wildcard)
12.10 is more resourse hungery than 12.04
and less stable
hey guys. just a question about the workings of dnsmasq. i've read about dnsmasq being used a dns cache and listens on the loopback adapter address. the loopback adapter is then used by the resolver. the real dns lookup is performed by dnsmasq by looking the actual dns server address in /var/run/nm-dns-dnsmasq.conf. what's puzzling to me is the contents of my conf file is empty but resolving still works. if it's empty then
how does dnsmasq know the address of the dns servers?
lix, oke, the cd /to/the/directory/ first, then tar  -cvzf /path/to/store/the/tar/test.tar.gz *.sql
OerHeks: sure. I was thinking of that. It's just not that elegant :)
got it, thanks
So, any of you watch My Little Pony?
Hello, I seem to have messed up my display drivers, can someone help? nvidia 9300 GE, ubuntu 12.10
OerHeks: Thanks
i installed x-swat's nvidia-current-updates
OerHeks: Do you think the "issue" is worth a bug report? Cause actually I think tar should be able to handle that ...
his it possible to resume an ftp fownload
from the terminal
fellayaboy, wget -c (for 'continue')
fellaboy: wget can handle a resume
fellaboy: as kimphill just said
lix check man tar ( i didn't find any solution for that)
OerHeks: I did. the option -C works fine using either ./ or the full filename. - But (aparently) no wildcards in combination with the option "-C"
whois stoneguy
it's you silly
heh
OerHeks: I just like to keep my shell-scripts as short/elegant as possible. So I am wondering if its worth a bug report...

se23: shoot
lix: not sure if this is helpful http://docstore.mik.ua/orelly/unix3/upt/ch38_10.htm what version of tar is it?
OerHeks: checked that as well.... - without success
dauntless: thanks! will check that
i need some help...
lix: seems like non GNU version is not fond of *
dauntless: indeed
se23: what's your issue?
he's trying to help you, lix
can i upgrade from natty (10.04) directly to qq (12.10) ?
se24 yes

Hello, I installed Xubuntu, but it needs the USB stick to boot.  Is there a way to change it so it boots from the hard drive instead?
curiouspostulate, what is your problems?
Where is a good place to ask Ubuntu developers for an opinion on how a new feature/bug fix should work?
PoolShark: I do not mean where you have to ask and only on certain PC's.
xubuntu_user, i think you should change grub config to load kernel from disk
blackshirt, how do I do that?
lonewulf: I am not sure I understand your meaning.
mspencer, try #ubuntu-devel
press e on grub menu when you booy
booting
blackshirt, I'm wondering how to go about reducing the timeout for gpg-agent, and I'm not really sure where gpg-agent is starting.  Also, I didn't have a gpg-agent.conf file in ~/.gnupg and I don't know if one I make will be used by default
there is no grub menu
anyone know how to fix my nvidia driver issues?
it usually shows when I have it load from the hard drive
xubuntu_user, press shift at boot
but from the USB stick, I don't see a grub menu
ok
OerHeks: Thank you, I wasn't sure if that was what #ubuntu-devel was for.
is it easy after that?
PoolShark: I contacted Dell and HP both said that they only have one - two computers that they can offer linux on.
xubuntu_user, i dont think so :)
lol
you should pass your root option to kernel to load from
I installed it, and it said 60GB
I don't understand why it installed it so I needed the USB stick
can you tell me the directions to change it after I press shift?
xubuntu_user, are you installed it from usb stick ?
lonewulf, you could just as easily buy the PC with Windows, burn a Linux CD/DVD, then nuke Windos
yes, but it said available diskspace 60gb
the usb stick is only 8gb
xubuntu_user, usually you press e to edit grub menu interactively, and ctrl+x to exit and continues the boot process
is that all or should you walk me through it?
I can come back on my netbook
Maglobiwan: This is true but would it not be nicer to already have a computer with it already installed? I am not meaning replace Windows as the default option just when you buy a new PC offer the choice to get one with FOSS
I'll see if the menu appears
brb
xubuntu_user, just see it and tell me what is your root on linux stanzas on grub menu line
lonewulf, well, it's up to the company
Magiobliwan: I know and aside from system76 I cannot think of very many that allow this choice.

anyone have an idea how to fix my nvidia driver issues?
all flash videos in google chrome go at like 2x speed
and firefox they go about 1/2 or maybe 3/4 speed
clearly not normal though
anyone have an idea?
lunaphyte, if you're using compiz you need only to set the window placement parament to center
I'm on 12.04
Cong: thanks for the clue, i'll have a look
anyone?
do you guys all run open source drivers or run ati video cards or what?
InFlames: I use nvidia proprietary drivers.
lunaphyte, /apps/compiz/plugins/place/screen0/options/mode, set it to 2. you need gconf-editor.
inflames, maybe someone here has a same issue like you
this is so weird. youtube, dropbox videos, everything
i've been using the beta proprietary and they've been fine
its not just flash it seems to also be HTML5 .mp4 files
lunaphyte, not that's 1 not 2
wait its JWplayer im not sure if thats flash or HTML5
in any case all my videos are playing at 2x speed.
?
blackshirt: i'd be amazed if i was the only one, but by the fact i've asked 3 times in an hour, no one has responded, maybe
what nvidia driver and ubuntu version are you guys running?
I'm using a special driver because I have two graphics cards in my laptop
i am having trouble with 12.10 and 304.64, 310.34, and 304.51
gskellik: i just don't get how it seems like this was working in 12.04, but in 12.10 i'm screwed, everything i try
been without a machine for 24 hours now
does anybody have any hints to my video problem? The sound also seems to be messed up.
InFlames: So downgrade then.
inflames, riphervence has told you, he was using nvidia
InFlames, I downgraded because of that exact issue
hmm, ok, i guess i will face the music
guess it's not the end of the world, and they i don't have to block amazon lenses :/
InFlames, you may try 304.43 I had some luck with that one
then*
hmm, that's an idea
InFlames: Isn't 310 beta?
rypervenche: yes, but after everything i thought i'd try it
upgrading to 12.10 now
hopefully this will fix
back to the drawing board i suppose
gskellik: What is the problem?
rypervenche, 310 is experimental. InFlames you might also pop into #nvidia they were a big help for me
InFlames: Go back to the one that was working for you. I can't imagine you NEED the latest version for anything in particular.
LoneWlf, flash video (and I think HTML5 also) goes twice as fast as its supposed to
and the sound is a weird kind of static
rypervenche: 12.04 was actually running pretty slow and i had issues with some stuff, but it was bareable
anastasya: i will try there before i give up
thank you guys
InFlames, again the best results I got were from 304.43
quit
gskellik: Is this in opera or firefox or chrome?
hmm, i don't know if i tried anything that "old"
perhaps i will
lonewulf chrome. On firefox it has other speed problems
All my windows seem to run off the bottom of the screen so the buttons on the bottom are inaccessible.  Anyone else experience this?  Any know fixes so linux will properly size the windows?
it will play for a sec then freeze, even if i let it buffer all the way
InFlames: I'm using 295.71
it freezes for a moment every second or two
I haven't tried opera yet
InFlames, good luck :-)
heh
thanks guys
msg nickserv set email stoneguy3@gmail.com
InFlames: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JbovJbKALzA
gskellik: It might be in the flash setting. I am downloading flash player for chrome give me a few minutes and I will see if I can help.
stoneguy: you need / in front of that
stoneguy: ;)
lix: my sentiments exactly
InFlames: indeed! :-D
i love the awkward part right after where he seems to look as though maybe he shouldn't have done that, lol
that's one more email to spam. ;)
rofl
Been too long since using IRC...
InFlames: Sure. - I just like Linux being that straight forward!
gskeillik: I have found that my flash in firefox has minor hickups.
it
lonewulf: what's that?
would i use a CDR or a CD ROM to install ubuntu, or does it not matter
ok, I think it is because my display is set wrong but it does not give me the size i need 1266x768  how would I fix that?
lix: true, i am glad he said it, it needed to be said
InFlames: exactly
Cong: That's ok, it's one of my "not for useful purposes" addrs anyway
I've got a question regarding GPG.  I have gpg-agent running, and "use-agent" in my gpg.conf file.  I don't have a gpg-agent.conf file, so I created one.

se23: Sometimes the audio will keep going and the video stops working.
i havent found the bug, uses 16.0.2 thanks
Guest3221: Doesn't matter.
Guest3221: the CDR is what you burn the rom is what you use to burn it. A cd will work just fine. You could also use pendrivelinux to make a bootable USB.
Hi, I installed xubuntu on my computer, but it won't boot up unless I use a USB stick.  How do I change this and it won't show a grub list even if I press shift when it boots up.
xubuntu_user, did you install it from usb?
My gpg-agent doesn't seem to forget the key after any amount of time.  Any way to fix this?
you didn't change the boot load install position
yes, but it showed 60gb for available space, my usb stick is ony 8 gb
loader
it never asked me to change it
you overlooked it
how do I change it?
i don't know
where is it?
when it installs it only shows a few steps
xubuntu_user: I have minimal experience with xfce but you might be missing the grub loader there is ways to install from a live distro.
not much to overlook
lonewolf, I see what you are saying
xubuntu_user: you might try googeling the procedure to install the grub from a live disc. I had to do this once but I cannnot remember the procedure right now.
CuriousPostulate: I guess that is done in ~.gnupg/gpg.conf
CuriousPostulate: Are you using a card reader btw?
lonewolf, does it erase the current installation or just add to it?
lix, are you talking to me?
xubuntu_user: nope
I had an issue with a past install that I need to work out. I have a Nvidia GeForce GTX 670 Card. I installed the drivers, rebooted (to get out of the horrid nouveau drivers), and all I saw was a low res desktop without the unity sidebar. I am running at 1080p if that helps ;)
xubuntu_user: It will leave the current install alone provided that you follow the instructions.
Cong: thanks, i found the setting, but it doesn't seem to have worked.
lonewolf, do you think that "grand unified bootloader" might solve this issue?
lix, I didn't see it in gpg.conf, I only saw "use-agent".  What do you mean card reader?
lunaphyte, are you running compiz?
vernon: what driver did you select, there is one that is experimental.
Cong: i think i am, how can i confirm?
I cannot remember. I just want one that works correctly...
CuriousPostulate: I was asking, because I remember having had troubles with gpg-agent when I was using my FSF card with a card reader. And there is a good manual for that by Mathias Kirschner (FSFE).
xubuntu-user: yes unless xubuntu uses a different loader, if it does then I would go with that.
I have already switched distros, but I want some help, so that I can go back...
vernon: that's a known bug. see this on askubuntu: http://askubuntu.com/questions/215016/12-10-unity-doesnt-appear-when-using-nvidia-drivers
vernon: basically linux-headers is being removed by the installer, and the nvidia driver can't compile properly
lix: I'm not using a card reader
vernon: if you can get to a terminal (or a VT), this will fix your issue: sudo apt-get install linux-headers-generic & sudo apt-get remove nvidia-current & sudo apt-get install nvidia-current
jaysonr: Thats pretty lame if you ask me.. But this should work ;)
vernon: you may need to run the x11config command from a terminal to set up xorg to run.
vernon: personally, I'm running nvidia-experimental-310 from proposed, and it's working great for me.
CuriousPostulate: ok. so what's your question? (dunno if I can help...)
jaysonr: For the record, no other distros have given me hell with my nvidia card...
vernon: jaysonr, is correct this was the command that I was going to suggest.
vernon: I can't speak to that, I've had better results with less hassle with Ubuntu in the past, but this is an odd bug that wasn't expected.
lix, it looks like gpg-agent isn't forgetting my passphrase.  How can I set a timeout?  I've heard about editing gpg-agent.conf, but if one doesn't already exist, I don't know if it'll be looked at.. maybe some strange settings with gpg-agent
CuriousPostulate: I thought the timeout can be set in gpg.conf. - I dont even have a gpg-agent.conf file ...
CuriousPostulate: .... let me get the info for you quickly.
lix: Thanks! I didn't see anything like that in gpg.conf.. maybe there's no default specified there?
Hey guys, just made the switch from win7 to ubuntu for the first time. Any idea why my graphics are getting distorted sometimes? http://i.imgur.com/pqtIL.png (nvidia geforce gtx 460 se)
timwis, did you install the nvidia drivers?
blackness: I went to software sources > additional drivers and selected the NVIDIA binary Xorg driver
was trying to follow https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia but System > Administration must have been moved
timwis: there is the option to scan for additional hardware drivers then install the one that is not a postrelease version.
but did you apt-get install nvidia-current ?
hi guys, could anyone help me out please it would be very appreciated, I own a VPS(Virtual private server) running ubuntu and I wanna use it as a SSH tunnel, I know how to do so but I wanna make a user that has no rights to do anything else other than log in...so I'm pretty much asking how to limit an account to be able to do NOTHING
lunaphyte, egrep compiz
blackness: No, I didn't. Should I enter that in terminal?
CuriousPostulate: try e.g. "default-cache-ttl 1800" in ~/.gnupg/gpg-agent.conf
i need to check if your card is support by the current, if not you might have to download a older package...
lonewulf: 'Additional Drivers' doesn't have any scan button
thanks blackness
Cong: sorry?
maslo2: You want to create a jailed environment.
lunaphyte, oh, pgrep compiz
is there some kind of a plugin for screen that will display like a tree list of all myfiles?
how would I do that rypervenche?
that username is somewhat gonna be public(friends only)
Cong: ah, gotcha.  pid 1977
timwis: if you are running 12.04 you can click on the unity button or hit the windows button then go to applications it will be under hardware drivers
timwis, what ive found, you can safely do: sudo apt-get install nvidia-current
as the 460 is under that package.
lix: How should I restart gpg-agent?  How can I be sure that gpg-agent.conf is read, since I didn't have the file by default?
timwis: it runs by itself.
blackness: "nvidia-current is already the newest version"
maslo2: It's past my bedtime, but someone here can help you, or you can find it by Googling. You at least know what it is you need to know.^^
CuriousPostulate: probably/logically yes
http://askubuntu.com/questions/140760/ubuntu-12-04-nvidia-gtx-460-video-card-installation follow the blacklist section of this guide timwis
yeah thanks a lot I'm gonna look around for it, I just wanna make sure it'S safe and that I don'T get owned/betrayed by a friend
lunaphyte, you have compiz running. if you set the key right you should be getting centered windows poping up all over the center.
CuriousPostulate: ... am sitll looking for the good article for you.
timwis: blackness is right the apt-get command will work.
lix: thank you!
except dont delete nvidia-current..leave that install. just edit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
Trying to install ATI drivers for ubuntu 12.10 not sure which one. Any help welcome
CuriousPostulate: maybe you wanna read this: http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/378
then reboot.
I am using an ATI 7850 card
s/install/installed
I am having trouble install ubuntu on a hp laptop, it only allows me to install it on one hard drive when fdisk tells me there are 3 drives
is there some sort of driver I need to install?
compiling a new kernel :O
Dogget: use the sudo apt-get install ati current
lix: Thanks! I'm reading it now, give me a bit...
timwis, nice
Cong: i believe i have it set right.  it was labelled as you described - 1 = center
Cong: is there a shell command i can use to print settings?
CuriousPostulate: Yes. Looks like that is the way. Here on this Gentoo site it's the same setting: http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/gnupg-user.xml
timwis, there also should be a checkbox under hardware drivers that allows you to select the nvidia package aswell. make sure you have this checked
Will this work fine Lonewulf? I have tried a few things but things messed up, unity bar not showing back, screen all blank etc
CuriousPostulate: looks like it is done with ~/.gnupg/gpg-agent.conf
@Lonewulf: It will install the latest ATI drivers right?
gskellik: I ran a video on youtube with chrome and it played fine for me.
LoneWlf, yeah I think its a specific problem
blackness, I modified the blacklist.conf file, about to reboot. do i need to find that checkbox first?
I just updated adobe-flashplayer
how can I view startup services like apache2 etc?
yes, check it before you reboot.
it sounds like a helicopter when I watch a video... lol
Dogget: I believe it will I have just used the additional hardware drivers application.
CuriousPostulate: This article says: "gpg-agent remembers your passphrase for a limited time. You may let it forget
your passphrase by stopping/restarting it."
CuriousPostulate: https://www.mozdev.org/pipermail/enigmail/2011-June/013896.html
anyone know how to install grub for xubuntu?
blackness, did you by any chance mean *software* sources? I don't see hardware sources anywhere :/ sorry if I'm a newb here
@Lonewulf: I am getting this http://pastebin.com/16m9LkMf
I tried bootloader, I tried sudo install commands in terminal
its hardware drivers
lix: woah... I killed gpg-agent but I managed to decrypt something without my passphase anyways... maybe I have two key agents?
not sources
gskellik: When I lloked into the flashplayer settings there was no option to adjust the playback speed.
let me see if i can find the binary for it
yeah lonewulf its pretty limited
its just microphone/video camera
and thats about it
CuriousPostulate: that is scary indeed!
gskellik: Yeah.
Anyone use garmintools?
i cant find it..
blackness, this is the closest i've found: http://i.imgur.com/EiFLc.png
yes, thats it.
what does nvidia-settings say?
reboot, then load that, sorry.
i'm tired :/
anyone use proxy for ubuntuone?
lix: And I see that I /do/ have a passphrase, because when I run gpg --armor --no-use-agent --decrypt file.asc, it asks for my passphrase...
lol okay so I am good to reboot then
brb
timwis: If you are done with installing grub give it a shot you should be good, then hop back on and let me know if I helped.
CuriousPostulate: It looks as if you need pinentry
UbuntuOne: need proxy, any idea?
lix: Maybe gnome keyring.. woah.  I killed gnome-keyring and that's what was storing it!
Lonewulf: This is what I am getting mate: http://pastebin.com/16m9LkMf
configure: error: cannot build garmintools without libusb <--- I have libusb1.0 installed. What's the deal?
CuriousPostulate: oh! interesting!
list
CuriousPostulate: yes, that must be it. (I dont use gnome keyring). can you set a timeout there?
lix: I'm going to find out a way to disable gnome-keyring.  It might be because of using a non-standard window manager (xmonad! woo!) that some things aren't set right.  I'll check for some settings
CuriousPostulate: roger

I just want to do this the right way, Having re-installed 12.10 three times now I am getting tired.
UbuntuOne: need proxy, any idea?
Dogget: I understand I have really only used the additional hardware option. It has worked with my system. I have a ati/raedon 6900
hey guys, just acquired a Dell PowerEdge 1850 server, just wondering whether the current release of Ubuntu Server will work on it? It's not listed as a supported server, but has anyone seen an instance in which it worked?
jael: i'd imagine it would work just fine.
jael: check here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport
lunaphyte, install CCSM from the software centre. It will make turning on plugins for compiz a snap. That's the theory anyway.
Cong: ok
lix, i checked it out earlier, and it's not listed.. but i guess it wont hurt to try. the machine should be here shortly...
jael: how much memory>
jael: try the live CD first to find out, maybe
jael: s/live CD/live CD or memorystick/
lunaphyte not sure yet. my buddies datacenter was clearing out unused servers and let me grab one for free.. so until it gets here, im not really sure about specs.. but its anywhere between 2gb to 12gb ram
just hope i get lucky ;)
Dogget: You can try this http://www.upubuntu.com/2012/03/how-to-install-ati-amd-catalyst-122.html
generic specs are here: http://www.dell.com/downloads/ap/topics/servers/1850_specs.pdf
jael: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1892534
Lonewulf: Thanks for the link but alas it's not for 12.10. I had no problems with the drivers on 12.04 by the way
jael: well, hopefully it's 64 bit
I feel 12.10 is really laggy, taking seconds to open a window and all while on 12.04 it was straight.
Dogget: Which version?
Does a higher DPI make my text smaller or larger? I would think smaller?
jael: just looked over the pdf. I don't see a problem why Ubuntu shouldn't work on this machine...
I am currently running 12.10 but everything is so slow
Dogget: its probably your video drivers or something. Did you create an xorg.conf?
lix: I found one workaround, but it's really messy and was from 2009.  I'm googling more
I haven't done anything yet after the third reinstall
lix, thanks. that's all i needed to hear!
Dogget: I am sorry I misunderstood, I usually just stick with the 32bit
lunaphyte, definitely 64bit
CuriousPostulate: ouch. - let me know as I know the developer of gnupg personally.
:-( damn
in 12.04 64 bits it was all fine as well
12.10 runs like a turtle!
Dogget: I hate to say this but my graphics run just fine in 12.04 i386
Same for me in 12.04 I am talking about 12.10 Lone :-)
Dogget: what does "top" say?
what are the major difference of 12.04 and 12.10?
Sorry Lix which "top"?
Dogget: in the terminal
Dogget: "top" tells you what process uses how much CPU, memory etc.
Dogget: so you might find out where the entropy goes ....
Sure what do you need to know? :-)
compiz, then xorg are at the top
Dogget: well, try to sort top either by CPU or mem, and you'll see
Dogget: oh! - I see
Dogget: I did not have an issue in 12.10 I reinstalled 12.04 for a different reason.
Dogget: are you on unity 3D?
Yes
It's a hoag really
Dogget: try to desactivate the effects
12.04 was fine all the way
what ever you do, do not type metacity --replace into a terminal
dogget: try running in 2d that sometimes helps you get a lot of the same looks.
Dogget: Alt+F2 ccsm
I mean it's hard to swallow that I have to do that when I have a 6 cores machines and 16 gg of ram :-(
lix: I found a bug report from april of this year.  It doesn't appear that this has been fixed, but I'm not sure, as I don't even know where the configuration would be... I'm not sure if I just haven't found it or it's not there.    Wait.. I found a setting in "Seahorse" with gconf-editor regarding the cache... "cache_method" and "cache_ttl" ..ttl is set to 300 (I'm assuming seconds), and it definitely is not acting like that.
 I'm going to restart and check this...
But I will do as you experts suggest :-)
Dogget: Sure. But your issue seems to be with the graphics....
compiz yes
yes compiz
Dogget: yes. - try Alt+F2 ccsm
lix: AH! I found something in "gsettings": org.gnome.crypto.cache gpg-cache-method.  it's "session" which is why I think it's storing it for the whole x session.  I'm going to change it to idle and see if that works
CuriousPostulate: interesting. - yes this might do it
Hey has anyone tried ubuntustudio
lonewulf: long time ago, yes
doing that does nothing...:-(
lix: Was it as a professional.
lix: gpg is giving me errors about where it's looking for the gnome-keyring passphrase... I shall return after I restart.
I think I better just go back to 12.04 at once
lonewulf: that was in the very beginning. we were using it for a students media server (internet radio) for an arts school. - was quite good I have to say
is there a command line escaper?
CuriousPostulate: roger
i.e. i need to escape a long line and insert it into command line
lonewulf: would have to check it out again, as this was 8 years ago...
dwarder, input escape character?
lonewulf: actually there was an interesting project in ghana for a radio station that was using ubuntustudio, I remember
lix: I was wondering whether or not it would be a good os for everyday use?
lonewulf: this certainly depends on what you work. :)
lonewulf: meaning: are you into media production?
lonewulf: I rememeber we were using jokosher to produce podcasts ans such that time...
lix: I dabble a little.
lonewulf: I'd say it is definately worth a try
Cong: yes
is there a way I can get unity to stop trying to sell me crap in the search menu?
lix: Cool I was trying to decide whether or not to install it on my other laptop.
Cong: as in \"something\ here\"
lix: It works!!
CuriousPostulate: \o/
CuriousPostulate: :-D
CuriousPostulate: Great! - Now: what was it? gsettings?
lix: I set it to 30 seconds to test and it asked for my passphrase again!  Crazy settings, though... Maybe they're more obvious if you're running more gui stuff.. I don't know.. but this is awesome :D
CuriousPostulate: \o/  Great! congrats!
hello i have a problem trying to setup other languages for keyboard
* lix is happy to see another satisfied Ubuntu user!
dwarder, don't know anything that can do that but if you need to input literal do "0x1b" or ^V, ESC
lix: gsettings.. I think something like org.gnome.crypto... gpg-cache.. something.. I also used gconf-editor to change the seahorse settings to also idle and 30 seconds.  Thanks for your help! :)
pika: try language support settings
lix : where is that ?
CuriousPostulate: Oh I see. Thanks
pika: System settigns
lix: i did this already
pika: system settings > keyboard layout
lix: i followed this tutorial : http://pinyinjoe.com/linux/ubuntu-12-chinese-setup.htm
lix: Now time to close 45 tabs...  Thanks again!
lix: i got it working one time then the notification icon diseapeared
pika: yes that looks good. - what is your problem now?
CuriousPostulate: you're welcome, Sir :)
pika: I guess it only appears if there are multiple languages installed
pika: let me check
does anyone know how to solve this...This nickname is registered. Please choose a different nickname, or identify via /msg NickServ identify <password>. it is on the xchat
pika: yes. as soon as you have more than one keyboard layout installed the icon appears
lonewulf: is the concerned nickname yours?
yes
lonewulf, change your nickname it's taken.
lonewulf: so use "/ msg nickserv identify **password**"
cong: how would I do that?
lix: sorry my connection dropped
loncewulf: if the nickname was registered by you, you can simply identify
pika_: no worries
* lix will brb
lix: if it was is there a way to recover or change my password throw email?
lix: I was saying that at the end of the tutorial they precise that the notofication icon doesn t appear all the time but that there is a way to solve this
lonewulf, you tried registering it and forgot the password?
that's a 30 day wait now if I recall
lonewulf: http://blog.mibbit.com/?p=1300
Cong: I think so :)
lix: I got this "You are not authorized to perform this operation."
I think all IRC client developers should make the nick- chan- serv a command to facilitate to use. it would be used like so /nickserv command parameters+

people i have purchased a core i3, 2gb ddr3 machine - should i put 32 bit or 64 bit os ? it has come preloaded with fedora 32 bit
solofight: 64 bit no question.
lunaphyte: is there any other reason for going with 64 bit apart from capability of huge ram handling ?
that's backwards
i just have 2 gb and i understood after 4 gb is where the real difference kicks in
lunaphyte: backwards ?
larger maximum memory capacities is little more than a side effect of the real benefits of a 64 bit processor.
but i'd track down some more ram though if it were me.
it's so cheap.
This is my first time using Linux, I'm trying to use the terminal and no matter how I get to it, when It asks for my user name I enter it, when it asks for my password though it wont even let me type. I can return though.
How do I fix this?
lunaphyte: what would be other notable benefits of 64 bit ? if you are saying ram handling is just a side effect !
are you using Ubuntu ADR524?
Yes
Cong: where does it give me that option?
Tempus_Fugit_, it should have a option for it.
Cong: in cairo dock settings or display settings?
Even when it was trying to encrypt my home file It wouldnt let me entermy password. So I was forced to just exit without getting a passphrase.
ADR524, try to enter it anyway maybe. and see how it goes
hahah
It just doesnt give me a notification that I'm entering it.
no problem
just do it
ADR524, try going into the users setting in the system settings and doublechecking the password you set up
you want ****s?
Thank you Frenk.
I was looking for *****'s
:-)
you wont see *****s
Haha.
why do you want them?
solofight: the entire architecture of the processor is 64 bit.  registers, datapaths, integers, which means that programs which are built with this in mind have inherent performance benefits.  thinking that more ram is a reason to use a 64-bit os is silly - especially since 32-bit operating systems have long since supported more than 4gb of ram.
hey buddy
configure: error: no acceptable C compiler found in $PATH, how would I go about fixing this ?
I want them too. I want to see stars when I type in passwords.
This is what I want to see ****-****.
solofight: examples of software which often appreciate benefits from this are things like codecs and encryption software,

needed it to build jailkit
you should see something like /usr/bin/gcc
yeah I see /usr/bin/gcc
should be ok now unless your path is jacked
Hello World!

if this package and the manual disagree, the manual is correct.
it's written in the package information.
any ideas where is the config file of pidgin?

I'm having a strange problem. I have one motherboard audio device. When I run VLC 204 (and only VLC so far that I know of) audio player, no matter which device output method i select, it opens a window that says:
sigh I can't even get jailkit to work right -sadface- I dunno if I'll ever get used to ubuntu
AUdio output failed: The audio device "sysdefault:CARD=VT82xx" could not be used:
and then proceeds to play anyway
except with intermittent bouots of lots of extra static
maslo: bummer, what's up
i get the feeling this might only occur when i have things like, flash and qmmp open (but not playing) in other windows
*bouts
what I hate is that what I'd like to do sometimes is just undo what I did ie: install something and all of it's components and try to do it again to see where it messed up
well, you can with apt
dauntless: don't really know if I try to log in as the jailed user it just quits right after
yeah I know how to do it with apt but can you do it if you build something yourself
and didn't install it through apt?
uh, yuck
any software to download an entire mailing list for offline reading ?
is that swap partition still really matter?
does the jailed user have a user home dir
yes
what yes maslo
benzo eat a eat
lunaphyte: thank you
yes the jailed user have a user home dir
oops sorry wrong vector
I'm just trying to ssh into the user using putty and it close right after the automatic message(after logging into my vps)
maslo: arent there a couple files in /etc like /etc/shells and maybe /etc/loginusers (or something like that) that determine who can actually login and with what shells
someoneThe audio device "sysdefault:CARD=VT82xx" could not be used:
sheit
apologies

OH
maslo: any luck there
btw how much size for swap?
redownloading the tar and checking if there's an uninstall
I had deleted it
:(
<lotuspsychje>  transmission is great yes but with windows i use utorrent and usually get anywhere between 1-1.5mbps but when i use cheat engine my speeds go upwards of 4mbps

INSTALL.txt  README.txt   configure      extra   man

is all there is
i was just wondering if there was a linux alternative to that type of software
and I dunno where it actually installed it and how to remove it >-<
ghostconn:speeds are relevant to seeders and peers, not the the software
lotuspsychje, ummmm... where? I'm not seeing it. only finding the source to download
maslo: you may have to got through the install-sh and see what its done
ghostconn: i use transmission with fast speeds without trouble
superfake123:or try software centre for chromium
root@vps:/tmp/jailkit-2.11# ./install-sh
install:        no input file specified
i understand that but what cheat engine dose is speed hacks packets as they come through you're router
youtube it and see or yourself
youll double if not tripple your speeds

If you haven't already, I would try bringing wlan0 down and bringing it back up...particularly if your network has dhcp reservations. i have had an issue with that before
how is that? i don't understand
in terminal: ifconfig wlan0 down
you may need to be sudo
and then: ifconfig wlan0 up
it says : ERROR while getting interface flags : no such device
I love how Ubuntu forums/chats are always more helpful about everything. Even about other operating systems.
are you connecting via wireless?
josh___ : a while. I will restart and reconnect and then put it down
k. That has solved some lack of internet connectivity issues for me in the past. Outside of that, i'm not sure what the issue may be
nope... not in boot manager =/
i have a very confusing problem. my wifi become nuts. Sometimes it connects, sometimes it connects with no internet connection. I am using ubuntu 12.04 on lenovo ideapad s206. any help
Is there a way to change my user's real name? When I change it in "Users and Groups" it always reverts back to the original. Using Xubuntu.
hello all

almoxarife,  I just discovered that in nautilus top menu view ->sidebar ->places will reappear my network "place". Without knowing it before I changed it to tree and in tree mode It doesn't display the places :P anyway
hey yall
hey
could someone help me. My wireless connection so unpredictable. It slow in getting internet connection
Hi there. I've got a package name, and I would acquire it with sudo apt-get install foobar. However, this machine has no internet connection. How do I go about acquiring the .deb file? There must be searchable package repositories for ubuntu, accessible via http?
hello, any idea when libreoffice 3.6 series will show up in precise? I know quantal is current, but precise is LTS ...
jilebedev, do you want to do an offline install ?
i would choose apt-on-cd
Trying to upgrade from 10.04 to 12.04.1, in maintenance shell, no network.  I'm getting a long list of errors possibly due to a corrupt dpkg database.  What can I do?
st
Anyone home?
ye
Got a question.
Karlo_, you need network to upgrade.
I'm running Ubuntu 12.10 and I was wondering if there was a port-over of Zello that worked.
If that's true, then the question would be, "How can I bring up the network from single-user mode" -- I did have this machine briefly visible from my main machine on the LAN, but I don't know what I did and I haven't been able to reproduce it.
Razgul, have you tried running it under Wine ?
gabkdlly, Installing it again now. The last time I tried was under 12.04 and everything worked but the login.
I get a "Monthly rate exceeded" error, which is odd.
Ahh, I see. Apparently they switched it from free to paid. Nevermind then.
Razgul, there is also imo.im which is web based and has this kind of walkie-talkie feature ( which I have not used, so your milage may vary )
Thank you.
I now have a new-found fear and respect for package managers.
Me too.
Though it might be anger and disrespect.
Attempted to do an "usb stick fromw windows to 12.04 server install' wireless install ... sudo dpkg -i a few packages, eh? NOPE. No sir.
It's surprising how easy it is to break things by attempting to install packages by hand ... that are clearly listed for precise pangolin, for the correct cpu architecture. Hargh.
Hi
Hi community I want to remove the dirctory jre7.0.1 fro the path /usr/lib/jvm/jre7.0.1 what comannd should I use...
cd
sudo apt-get purge maybe?
Hi community I want to remove the dirctory jre7.0.1 fro the path /usr/lib/jvm/jre7.0.1 what comannd should I use
or sudo apt-get remove?
XRSI: u write command for me
does anyone know how to force yakuake to use transparency?
hi
is anyone able to help me with wifi problems
compiz installed?
what problems
sometimes it works, sometimes it does not
i mean sometimes when i turn on the computer, the wifi does work
and most times it does not work and
pretty generic. what specificly? doesnt see the AP? doesnt connect? connects but no inet?
it then keeps showing the connecting symbol at the top
XRSI:I use the command sudo rmdir but the error comes Directory not empty so..So what swtich I use so the Full directory may remove
It does not connect
delete the AP and set it up again
this is a fresh install of ubuntu we are talking about
talpur,  your should probably uninstall the app, not delete it use sudo apt-get remove or sudo apt-get purge
and all of the installs i have had over the last year (quite a lot) I have just had dodgy internet
is there anyway to check with apt-get what programs depend on the package i want? like sudo apt dependencies mplayer
talpur, "rmdir -r" will remove a directory along with its contents (recursively), but it's not clear to me that this is what you should be doing.
if your sure you just want to delete it: rmdir /path/to/dir --ignore-fail-on-non-empty
What is AP you have told me to set up
AP = Access Point (your router)
what is AP
AP = Access Point (your router)
reset my router?
no
I have 2 routers (long story) and it does not work with either
go into the wlan0 settings, delete all the remembered access points (routers) and reconnect
i have already done that kind of thing#
Karlo: I want to remove directory "jvm" which is on location /usr/lib/jvm........So kindly write me he commnad to remove it..this directory may contain different directories and files But I want to remove it
ive done all sorts of little things like restarting the card, and it never works
its probably the card then
It is a TL-WN951N
anyone know any code snippet manager for ubuntu?
you could try a diff driver, or NDIS wrapper, or WiCD
talpur, you want to remove *all* of /usr/lib/jvm ?
Karlo: yes
talpur, sudo rm -r /usr/lib/jvm
Can you send me a link to instructions for installing different drivers
if your sure you just want to delete it: rmdir /usr/lib/jvm -r --ignore-fail-on-non-empty
Can you send me instructions to change wifi drivers
there are plenty on the Ubuntu forums
and google
have trouble, i'll gladly help, but you gotta do something for yourself
thats how you learn
Hi community What is difference between .tar.gz file and only .gz file
talpur: .tat.gz file is archieved whrn zipped ,.gz is a aormal zipped file
.tar.gz*
In genera, foo.bar.gz is a compressed form of foo.bar
l
talpur: .tar just takes a bunch of files and puts them into an archive, gzip compresses. tar can do both in one run with appropriate flags.
is there a command line to check reverse dependencies
fego: So which command we use for .gz file....as for .tar.gz we use tar xvf filename
gzip mainly talpur
"gzip -d x.gz" will replace x.gz with the original file x
fego: can you write the full cammnad..i have file talpur.gz so what will be the command
yeah but still you guys never answer his question, whats the difference between .gz and .tzr besides the extenton
gzip talpur, will automatically make a file called talpur.gz
fego: gunzip talpur.gz will leave you talpur only.
ba
meant for talpur
talpur,   gzip -d talpur.gz | file -   will tell you what type of file it is, if you don't already know.
Oops
talpur,   gzip -d <talpur.gz | file -   will tell you what type of file it is, if you don't already know.
(Need the "<" in order to have the effect I intended.)
The answer is that something.gz is (by convention) a compressed form of something.  something.tar.gz is not a special case; it's just a compressed form of something.tar, as per the first answer.
ar9 install apt-rdepends, usage apt-rdepends <package>  ( and see man apt-rdepends )
OerHeks: thanks
whats the deal with usb 1.1 ports?
i unplugged my mouse, couple hours later i plugged it back in and it doesnt get detected
so, its actually not true
if its tar.gz wouldnt the tar compression come first then the gzip?
whats the module name for usb mouse? im wondering if modprobe will enable my mouse
Tar is archival, not compression.
hello
It aggregates multiple files into one larger file.
use gz
So what is this that I hear about amazon-assoc to all of my ubuntu searches?
"compress that .gz to a .tar.gz" -- nobody said this, and it doesn't make sense.
i think the answer is , both are compress, but .gz is a single file, and .tar its multiple files
.tar is multiple files, not compressed at all.  (The resulting file should always be larger than the sum of the individual file sizes.)
hats way .tar.gz refers to multiple-files in a single file compress, i guess
Right just use gz
or 7zip is you really like it I guess
foo.tar.gz is a gzip compression of foo.tar, which is a tar aggregation of something, probably a foo/ directory.
bases clear, lets move on, please
anybody know how to fix usb 1.1 not picking up my mouse?
so why is ubuntu forwarding some of my search terms queries to amazon?
works fine at boot
but after reconnect it wont detect
Isn't this a blatant privacy violation ?
someone thought we wanted unity to act like bing
Guestuser2093: you can turn it off
auronandace: How? And why is it turned on by default that's my problem.
because canonical needs money
simple as that
Guestuser2093: system settings privacy
Can I make a custom image somehow where it isn't turned on by default? I can no longer recommend this to my boss nor my family anymore.
Yea well why not ask for donation like wiki instead but blatantly using user input for petty cash
you can try "Ubuntu Builder"
Guestuser2093: no point complaining here, we just do support, we don't design ubuntu
Guestuser2093, i wouldn't recommend suggesting beta products to friends, that is essentially what .10 release is
I should make a custom version of ubuntu where unrecognized clicks will default to my paypal button.
genius
Yea my bad just irritated that this had to happen my boss wanted to move on to linux and I was gonna help get them running on ubuntu but after he read about this he wants to just move on to windows 8 ugh
12.04 doesnt have that
its a stable release, 12.10 is where the experiments happen
Guestuser2093, keep in mind not all things with a higher version are of a higher quality
hey, I have 2 SSH connections to my server over a high-latency network, one using PuTTY the other using FileZilla. The Putty connection works ok, but the filezilla one keeps disconnecting for some reason
how can I make the filezilla connection (sftp) not disconnect so much?
it seems to disconnect after every file transfer or after some 30 seconds with Status: Disconnected from server
what parameter would follow modprobe for detecting a usb mouse
it wont connect and im looking for an easier solution than a reboot
hello
gpu02: Hi
hello
Also is there a way for network-manager to start using vpn immidiately on boot?
how to show list of users in terminal?
w
"w" or "who" or "who -u" are good choices, I believe.
w
(I always rebind "w" -- my philosophy is that the system should never reserve one-letter names for itself.)

hi
gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooodmorning #ubuntu
hi
are there people here?
no, just figments of your imagination
is my first time here?
italia: Only you can know that :P
theadmin, well, there are logs. We can check :)
Seveas: Grepping the whole irclogs.ubuntu.com wouldn't be easy
can you help me, plrase?=
italia, that depends on what you need help with :)
could i use whatsapp in ubuntu 12.10?
does it exist any good books and/or videos about Ubuntu 12.04  for people who are clinging on the windows 7 and hates windows 8? i have just installed ubuntu 12.04 on my home computer and my poor wife is not familiar with it
hmm, I don't know. whatsapp definitely doesn't provide official clients for linux but there may be usable 3rd party ones by now
italia: That's a mobile app... No?
jarlandre, there's the official ubuntu book, which does a decent intro
jarlandre: Books? http://ubuntu-manual.org, also the official manual included with every Ubuntu installation (see the Help menu on desktop)
ah thanks .. i will take a search for it
theadmin, it's defnitely meant for mobile, but people have reversed the protocol and written 3rd party clients, some open source
jarlandre, http://www.amazon.com/The-Official-Ubuntu-Book-Edition/dp/0137081308
Seveas: I see. I'm not too familiar with it, heck I don't even know what the thing does, I just googled it and it led me to mobile apps so I concluded that it has nothing to do with Ubuntu
jarlandre, oh, you'll want http://www.amazon.com/The-Official-Ubuntu-Book-Edition/dp/0133017605/ref=dp_ob_title_bk instead. They're up to edition 7
I still have editions 1 and 2, having proofread edition 1 :)
theadmin, it's a mobile messaging app. Very popular here in .nl for instance where sms is expensive
Well not everyone wants to buy stuff, ubuntu-manual is available freely as a PDF
whatsapp - wide speaded, highly insecure :(
is my first time here?
llutz, yeah, broken as %$%@!^
is there a way to navigate dash suggestions without the arrow keys (e.g. with tab)?
Does Ubuntu Studio work in Windows like main Ubuntu?
but the symlink does not exist to /usr/lib/jvm/default-java/jre/bin/java
isn't it "update-alternatives --config javac" for jdk? tete_
ok will try it
Es gibt nur eine Alternative in Link-Gruppe javac: /usr/lib/jvm/java-7-openjdk-amd64/bin/javac
Nichts zu konfigurieren.
 :(
this means: there is only one alternative in link group javac: ... nothing to configure.
tete_: 1st please use pastebin 2nd please prepend commands with LANG=C when you paste the output
i guess something went wrong with the symlinks, because the java in $PATH points to nothing
ok
~pastebin
thx ;)
tete_: have you tried "update-alternatives --set javac"
javac is working
java* sry
http://paste.ubuntu.com/1347281/
when i try your command i only get the help of update-alternatives
can it be that thunderbird 2.0 cannot be installed on ubuntu 12.04?
n1: it can
tete_: are you on 64bit and trying to run 32bit java with missing libs?
its a 64 bit machine running java 64 bit
i removed default-jre because this was openjdk6 but i want 7
so i installed the openjdk-7-jre
llutz there is the .bin file in the folder, though I canoot run it. Set everything in the properties, but doesn't start
but hm something went horrible wrong ^^
n1, try to chmod a+x the bin and run in a terminal
then you can paste the output
Hi, I'm Shoubhik.  I have Ubuntu 10.10 installed . I'm downloading the image for 12.04  . How do I upgrade my system without losing any data?
hey i am using emesene and it supports gtalk and facebook but not msn. WTF
how can i connect to msn with emesene2 ?
how is possible to report a bug about the package network-manager? i have checked in launchpad and isnt possible
n1: cd /path/to/thunderbird ; chmod +x ./run-mozilla.sh ; ./run-mozilla.sh"
n1: or "cd /path/to/thunderbird ; chmod +x thunderbird ; ./thunderbird"
n1: and still, as you've been told already: it is not a goot idea to use an outdated version like this
n1, install tbird from the repos
can i use emesene with msn
or are their devs retarded?
DemonWitch, lose the attitude and language
DemonWitch: depends
DemonWitch: but you cant use msn directly in linux, you need a client
llutz n1n0@lap:~/thunderbird$ chmod +x thunderbird n1n0@lap:~/thunderbird$ ./thunderbird ./thunderbird-bin: error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory n1n0@lap:~/thunderbird$
hez
hey
bazhang, nope
DemonWitch, nope what
DemonWitch: why not?
can somebody give me instructions how can i restore my programms and packets
harry1111, restore from what
harry1111: restore from what
is there a ubuntu security channel?
DemonWitch: i never used emesene
llutz ubottu n1n0@lap:~/thunderbird$ !find libstdc++.so.5 find . -name "*.bin" libstdc++.so.5 find: paths must precede expression: libstdc++.so.5 Usage: find [-H] [-L] [-P] [-Olevel] [-D help|tree|search|stat|rates|opt|exec] [path...] [expression]
Erealz, this is it
n1: sudo apt-get install libstdc++5
ok cool just checking
DemonWitch: try pidgin
i cant even add a new protocol/server in emesene. SO annoying
i had installed an win os after the ubuntu os. so i restored my user bit my applications and settings are awaz
DemonWitch: try pidgin
i dont like pidgin
i use kde-telepathy
everything i tried found in google has no affect
how can i find where emesene saves its configs?
DemonWitch: the documentation
harry1111, awaz?   did you update-grub? are you able to boot into both ubuntu and windows?
ikonia: its not in docs
ikonia, you again
simplew: the documentation doesn't show where to save it's configs
DemonWitch: you may also try command --help see if there is an option to specify
simplew: is it a compile option where the config file is located ?
llutz ubottu tete, thanx a million, hope will be able tu install an addon, if not will be boring again
i have a itch
no body _
simplew, pardon?
Hey fellas.
the correct way to become root, is su - root , su, or su - ?
DemonWitch: sudo -i
harry1111, I asked you a question, please answer
i never sudo
DemonWitch: neither
Does anyone know how to change the start-up sound for ubuntu?
DemonWitch: su  is not used in ubuntu
your problem
i have enabled it
DemonWitch: then you should know what you are doing
su is used everywhere in gnu/linux and for some reason i am not allowed here
DemonWitch: we don't support you using "su" as it's not the ubuntu designed security model
DemonWitch: sudo -i
what is sudo -i
man sudo DemonWitch
DemonWitch: you are "allowed" to do what you wish, but we don't support it
try "sudo -s"
DemonWitch: it's the same funcationality as "su" for root, however within the ubuntu security design
DemonWitch: man sudo will give you the options (possibly some you've not heard of before)
 harry1111, awaz?   did you update-grub? are you able to boot into both ubuntu and windows?
hi.. how can I tell which version of the nvidia driver I'm using?
llutz will I alway have to open it via termianal? is there a way to create the icon, as when opening it via chmod +x some addons are there, yet "will be available when t.bird restarted"
n1: create a .desktop-file for it
punto: form the log file, usually '/var/log/Xorg.0.log'
mmhh
llutz thanks again!
how to download ed2k file?amule?
how do I create a symlink (the ubuntu folder) on a CD-image
robinp: you can't
robinp: the cd is "read only"
robinp: so that will stop you creating anything on it
ikonia: i am trying to make a EFI boot disk - I copied everything onto my USB drive *other* than the ubuntu symlinked folder
Whats up with ubuntu 12.10 gnome shell remix... after installed had to use acpi=off  get gnome shell... installed jockey can't get that to work so install ati drive command line... gnome shell boots into gnome classic.. installed ubuntu desktop... unity just logs into a blank screen
robinp: is there not a process for this in the ubuntu wiki
ikonia: no the wiki wants me to make a mess of my disk portioning and then repair it later
robinp: well you're not going to be able to make a link on a cd image,
I have the same problem as here http://askubuntu.com/questions/202574/desktop-does-not-show-when-i-installed-nvidia-drivers , I reinstalled ubuntu 12.10, still did not install the non working drivers. I want to install them should I install linux source and install nvidia-current-updates?
ikonia, you deserve a watery grave
ikonia: so how did the symlink on the existing CD image get there ?
Someone heregood on PHP??
robinp: when the CD "image" was made the link was there, if you want to alter that you'll have to re-build the whole image (it's in squash fs)
Whiskey: the guys in ##php
Whiskey: everyone on ##php is good with PHP

hey there
can somebody help to fix my problem
i had installed an win os after ubuntu os. so with the internet i have restored my user but mz settings and apps like thunderbird and the others are away
how can i get them back
harry1111: what do you mean "the other way"
harry1111: windows/ubuntu are seperate OS's they do not interact with each other
i kno
w
harry1111: installing windows after ubuntu will change the boot loader only, nothing more
harry1111: so if you restore the bootloader (grub) you'll have the two OS's side by side and totally seperated
i wat to restore mz ubuntu user settings before intstalling win
harry1111: mz ?
my
ah
harry1111: you've already restored windows haven't you ?
srz keyboard layout is different
harry1111: that's ok, I'm just checking what you meant, that's all
no i have deleted it
harry1111: ok, so what's the actual problem you are facing now ?
i had udated grub. and restored mz users account but my settings and applications not there
harry1111: how did you "restore" your useraccount ? there should be no need to touch your user accounts, as I said, windows does not touch that
if i go to software center this tell me that i have installed gparted
but there is nothing to see in list
harry1111: after you restored, grub, what did you do
and terminal says there is no gparted installed
harry1111: after you restored, grub, what did you do
i set my user
what do you mean "set" your user
harry1111: please try to tell me exactly what you did
so i dont know, because i did a lot
on my workplace there are all files
and pics ...
harry1111: ok - then I would suggest installing windows, then re-installing ubuntu, backing up any data you want to keep
i dont need windows
harry1111: ok, then I would suggest backing up any data you want, and re-installing ubuntu
harry1111: putting your system into a "known" state
i did
harry1111: no, you didn't
harry1111:  you said you restored grub
harry1111 mei too
harry1111 me too*
yes with an new installation
Goodday! I have a quite specific question about ubuntu's gcc and libc version about destructors
what would the best place to ask?
harry1111: I'm sorry, you are not making any sense
FunkyRen: you're welcome to try here.
which folder i have to backup with all of my settings an applications
Oke, let's make a pastie sec ^.^
harry1111: if it's a clean install as you said, you will have no applications installed
i have backed up my home directorz
if I have on-board video and an Nvidia card, they should both show under sudo lshw, right?
harry1111: when I asked what you did, - you said "I don't know" - now all of a sudden you do know ?
somsip: should do
harry1111: I get the impression you are not being honest with me
ikonia: cheers. Wife just bought a new monitor so I *have* to play at getting triple head working...
maybe i cant give good explanation
harry1111: I think so
where are all settings in which directory _
somsip: keep in mind if you are using "twinview" it can only span one single card, not multiple cards
harry1111: different locations for different applications
i would reinstall ubuntu. and then i will restore everything
ikonia: ah - I am. That might save some head banging and fixing of on-board cards. i'll research twinview for a while first
ikonia: crap never mind, i found it, it is in the .fini_array i thought i couldn't find it there in the first place... however now i have a new question. How can I make the linker place the function pointer to the destructor in the .dtors section? Should change the linker script? Or is there a flag which makes it switch back to the .dtors section?
FunkyRen: not aware of a flag for that,
what is the command to restart Nautilus?
where are unity scripts kept?
angs: "nautilus"
Kartagis: what unity scripts ?
ikonia: thanks!
or nautilus
ikonia: oke, thx :) then i'll change the linker script
Kartagis: what ?
thank you Kartagis
i first thought it was like magic because i couldn't find in the .dtors and fini_array, time for more coffee! :D
ikonia: when we write a script, we can copy it to a directory and it becomes available in file context menu
Kartagis: who is "we" ?
don't remember which tho
we == me
sorry
Any one else run into everyone looking blue on youtube?
sorry
the cat caused that
what ?
the cat caused what ?
caused me to /part
so ikonia, do you have a reply for me? about the nautilus scripts directory?
Kartagis: no idea, I'd have to look it up
ikonia: would ~/.gnome2/nautilus-scripts work with unity?
http://g-scripts.sourceforge.net/
~/.gnome/nautilus-scripts
Kartagis: doubtful, but I dont know
what unity scripts are you meaning?
My primary desktop has this orange selection field stuck, any way to remove it without rebooting my PC?
Hello, I am trying to install an application via apt-get (skype) but the console prompt me : "The following packages have unmet dependencies:" with a list of package: apache2.2-bin, apache2.2-common, libatk-wrapper-java-jni,libatk-wrapper-java-jni, libnss3-1d, libpulse0 skype : Depends: skype-bin. And end with: E: Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be caused by held packages. Does anybody knows w
hat to do to resolve that and beeing able to install Skype please?
BastianB: do you have any 3rd party repos or PPA's
ikonia, I have added proposed one few time ago, but I have removed it
BastianB: that's probably pulled down some newer dependencies that are in conflict, more so now that you've removed it
ikonia, is there a special to do to get it working back? Should I re-add it?
BastianB: remove anything that's in conflict
BastianB: get the package manager clean, then install skype
Hum, not sure to know what is in conflict, are those packages 'unmet packages'?
BastianB: correct
ikonia, great thanks a lot for your help !
Hey guys have any of you heard of nautilus?
I've mounted a folder on my second machine with SSHFS using sudo sshfs xbmc@<Ip>:/ /mnt/xbmc however when i try to ls /mnt/xbmc i ge permission denied. when i do a sudo ls -l /mnt I see it's owned by root:root but if i try to sudo shown it I get: chown: changing ownership of /mnt/xbmc: permission denied
Hello again, now I have another version, where can I find the default linker script which is used by ld ?
Flynsarmy: why do you mount it as root?
jrib: i tried without root and got permission denied
Because I've tried using a method that involves using that to change the start up sound for ubuntu but it doesn't work.
Flynsarmy: because you're using /mnt/xbmc as the mount point.
Can anyone help me change the startup sound?
Flynsarmy: (use a mount point your user can write to)
jrib: aha, got it! i had to umount, chown the folder, remount. that did th etrick. thanks
Where do you put java so chrome will use it?
N03L,  canberra-gtk-play --id="desktop-login" --description="GNOME Login"
where's the list of sounds available?
FlyOnZeWall:  i always use mountpoints in my home dir with sshfs.
too many Fly* in here, clearly =P
N03L, so yeah emm... you could setup a startup program to play a ogg file with the command as canberra-gtk-play -f oGGFile
Hi!
Cong: Cheers, but I can just move the sound file and replace the default start up sound file right?
Just not sure on how to do it.
Everytime i try, something happens.
hi guys, I have installed jailkit via this http://www.binarytides.com/setup-a-jail-shell-with-jailkit-on-ubuntu/ and there doesn't seem to have any unisntall file and I'm wondering how I would remove it completely?
maslo, it depends on the install script used. compiled binary is usually installed to /usr/loccal so just remove it from there.
well all the folders in /usr/local are empty ...? but I have foudn /etc/jailkit
I said usually.
they're just .ini files though not executables or anything..I'm fairly new to linux/ubuntu
this is for a VPS
where would I be able to check what the install script did?
maslo: when you run random things from the internet... well they can do anything they want.  You need to read its documentation or read its source code to figure out what it did and how to uninstall it
yeah I'm aware
maslo: use their mailing list if you can't find your answer in the documentation and don't want to read the source code: http://olivier.sessink.nl/jailkit/index.html#contact
is there some sort of post-install hook I can add stuff to in apt, or dpkg?
#compiz
gordonjcp: yes, I don't remember how though :x
jrib: ah well, MOAR GOOGLE
gordonjcp: starting point: http://wiki.debian.org/DpkgTriggers
jrib: tbh I'm probably solving the wrong problem, but I want to rm -rf /usr/share/sounds on every update
heh
jrib: yup, I see it
jrib: I had a terrible accident with an update, when it re-enabled system sounds
and also re-enabled that bloody infuriating conga slap sound when the login prompt appears
gordonjcp: did you smash your keyboard into your monitor not realizing it was the speakers you should be bashing?
jrib: no, but I destroyed eight very expensive loudspeakers
as well as causing about a dozen people to simultaneously soil themselves
I did a sudo apt-get purge gnome-screensaver and then an apt-get install xscreensaver*  I selected a screensaver, set times, etc.  but it does not work.  When I lock the screen it does not lock the screen or show the screensaver, and when the computer is idle for the set time it does not go into screensaver mode either.  Any help would be appreciated.
 I'm loading a chat page it says it need java tm .  I download it from  the official site .     I it says you can install it in your user directory .    http://java.com/en/download/help/linux_x64_install.xml .  I  did what it said ,but chrome don't pick it up
wow ubuntu not running to microsoft right
right
now i am using fedora
Anyone know if it's possible to determine which Terminal profile is active from the shell?
env variables or somethin
chreekat  try the command 'who'
Can anyone explain to me how I can get audio to work on Ubuntu Server?
sim642  it's strange to want audio on a server, better ask in #ubuntu-server
MonkeyDust: Ah.  By 'active profile' I meant profiles as defined in Gnome Terminal
Terminal with an upper case T :)
Any of you use Java tm at all with chrome ?
Is there a pro that can give me a hand please... The prob I have is I connect internet using network connections DSL tab, but by doing so, I lose my local IP address. So I have to manually set it with "ifconfig eth0 10.0.0.8". The prob is, I change to different DSL connections, and each time I have to reset my local IP. So I was wondering if there is a way for me to create a simple script that checks my current IP, and if its not 10.0.0
.8, then it automatically changes it.
I ask because I have a script that toggles color schemes (solarized light/dark), and I'd like it to act on whatever Profile is active. Currenly, "Default" is hardcoded in the script
howdy all
any wise ones there that can help.
hi friends
hi
Hi :)
hmm
Am i in the right place?
think, for ?
then you connect to the net. your ip should not be local any more... unless im confuswed.
can someone help me find out how to get my computer to work in indic scripts with a transliteration scheme?
<dr_willis> kinda...well you can have both, see it drops the eth0 one when it connects to dsl. I have to re-enter it using ifconfig, then i have the ISP given IP and a local on.
meant local one.
Hi community need help to install java7 jre...I am following weblink http://askubuntu.com/questions/56104/how-can-i-install-sun-oracles-proprietary-java-6-7-jre-or-jdk  but couldn't intsall yet
so you are switching from a dsl connection at one location to a normal network connection at another place?
<dr_willis> All at home on the same network. Using router in bridged mode. I unfortunately rely on a few different DSL connections, hence must use ubuntu's built in PPPOE function. So all at home, network is 10.0.0.*, but the Network Manager doesnt support DSL and Local simaltaneously. Only the terminal does. So basically I have to set my local IP each time after making a new PPPOE connection. It works, but just would like to make it au
tomatic.
Hi community need help to install java7 jre on ubuntu 12.4
think: network manager supports local and dls as long as they are on two different cards
ciao
think: sounds like you need a router
think: pick up something you can run OpenWRT on, and forget all this nonsense
<ikonia> lol yes...but terminal supports it on one. So I'm simply need to use the terminal or a script to check if my IP is 10.0.0.8, and if its not, to run ifconfig eth0 10.0.0.8. That would solve the prob
<gordonjcp> ya but to lay down cash for something ubuntu does fine already, ya well. I just need the know-how to make it automatic. I made a shortcut but still..it needs to be auto.
think: terminal doesn't support it on one interface, any more/less
think: handy hint - type gor<TAB>
think: you can assign virtual interfaces in network manager
think: if you do that silly angle brackets thing, it doesn't highlight and I don't see you unless I'm looking for you
think: you should *not* have your desktop machine directly connected to the Internet
talpur:  i just follow the guides/use the webupd8 ppa  to get java 7
talpur , what you using java for ?
how can I edit ubuntu 12.04 login screen?
dr_willis: can u tell me that how I check that jre7 installed or not on my system, from yesterday I use differnt ways
tarelerulz: for eclipse
Talpur , do you know how to install it for  say using it in chrome ?
talpur:  i just use java --version to see what java i have
tarelerulz: no
dr_willis: this command gives error on my system
perhaps its -version  not --version
ikonia
member kindly see my code why the error occurs http://paste.ubuntu.com/1347683/
 gordonjcp: I presume this is how its done?
ikonia um..its working right now. ppp0 and eth0 simaltaneously...i can give you my ifconfig printout it that will help
think: I don't need your ifconfig
talpur:  do you have update manager, or synaptic running?
talpur:  if you do, close those out.
then try
think: ppp0 and eth0 are two seperate devices, (although not physical) you can do that through network manager
Just trying to load a chat room that use java.   Where do you put java to make the whole system us it? chrome , firefox
TheLordOfTime: which command I use to close them
any girl wanna chat with me
?
greek_guy: please, don't ask for that
ikonia: exactly...but network manager can only do one at a time, whereas terminal can do both.
talpur:  erm, are they open in another window was the question.
greek_guy: this is a technical support channel
think: network manager shouldbe able to deal with both
talpur:  update manager'd be its own window, so would synaptic or any other package manager.
hello, anyone tried successfully to install fuse-exfat on 10.04 ?
(i'm on ARM architecture)
I'm running 12.04 and 64bit .  the offical site makes it look so easy
ikonia: connecting to the one drops the other, and vice versa..unless I've missed something, which is possible
think: it really shouldn't do that, my laptop doesn't have that issue
TheLordOfTime: I want to close them forcely so is there any command
tarelerulz:  i just follow http://www.webupd8.org/2012/01/install-oracle-java-jdk-7-in-ubuntu-via.html

Linux noob here, I'm trying to install centos 5.8 netinstall via thumdrive using Universal USB Installer to burn, and finally using that to upgrade the netbook. However, when I boot up even with the correct priorities in bios, it goes to the grub menu and all I see is memtest and boot into ubuntu, no option to boot from usb.
good morning everyone :-)

where can i get the best aplications iubuntu n mathemathics for kids?
dr_willis: I can't get it to boot because the graphics aren't working properly.  is there a keyboard shortcut I can use to edit it without booting?
you can edit the grub menu directly. thats how you can set up one time use boot options
hold shift to see the grub menu if its hidden. hit 'e' to edit the boot line i belive
italia: try search "kid" in ubuntu software center
 dr_willis: I want to close  forcely update manager,synaptic or any other package manager  so is there any command
Hmm.. you have to see what  ones are still running and use killall on each one.
thanks dr_willis,   You read from the site and it makes it sound simple. just put it into the right dir and you done .
Members need help I want to close  forcely update manager,synaptic or any other package manager  so is there any command
talpur: try "kill" or pkill command
talpur, try kill -9 numberprocess
talpur:  killall update-manager
killall synaptic
as for others if they're open i won't know what they are
those're the two common ones
how can i see the ports opened ?
Chaterz: nmap
i want a list all my ports
nmap -a ?
Chaterz: nmap or netstat
netstat but i can go up the list because is too long.
cant*
netstat | grep "smth"
Chaterz: netstat -ltn
if you're looking for something in particular
ogc.
ofc
or easier
netstat > myfile.txt
then nano myfile.txt
or pico, or vi
depends on your editor
how can i install for a fpaste ?
Chaterz, install pastebinit
it's the same ?
command | pastebinit   will give you a url to paste here
leet me check
sudo apt-get install pastebinit
 Stanley00:  Chaterz: TheLordOfTime: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1347719/  kindly see the prompt snip..none of commnad work properly
talpur:  no, just 'killall' as the command
not 'kill all'
I did a sudo apt-get purge gnome-screensaver and then an apt-get install xscreensaver*  I selected a screensaver, set times, etc.  but it does not work.  When I lock the screen it does not lock the screen or show the screensaver, and when the computer is idle for the set time it does not go into screensaver mode either.  Any help would be appreciated.
TheLordOfTime: killall just shows the option and switches
TheLordOfTime: see the killall snip http://paste.ubuntu.com/1347726/
...
talpur: well, it's not that simple, first you must find out what process is lock that file, then kill it via its PID with kill command
<TheLordOfTime> talpur:  killall update-manager
<TheLordOfTime> killall synaptic
you need to read.
hey guys, I'm using ubuntu 12.10 and wonder if it is possible to to always hide the native ubuntu icon dock, since i would rather use docky
I've set AllowRootLogin to no in the /etc/ssh/sshd_config file on my host computer, yet when I do ssh root@mydomain.com from my client system, it still asks for the password for the root user. Is this the normal behavior?
howcome I cannot change the screensaver when running gnome-screensaver?
Sheylin: sadly no, you can try set the sensitive to some very value
Hello why do I get this ? http://pastebin.com/C4LFS8XX
hello
Stanley00., thanks guess it's back to xfce for me then, i really like the the top panel with its globalmenu in ubuntu, but the dash sort of gets on my nerves since gnome-do or synapse are so much fastrer and dont show advertisements
adaminsull: lenny is not an Ubuntu release
Then what is it?
a debian release
it said I needed this
but its old i think
Said I need it
Sheylin: you can uninstall that shopping-lens
adaminsull: What exactly are you trying to do?
gordonjcp: apt-get upgrade
Stanley00, thanks, that's how it's called
adaminsull: so where does lenny come into it?
lemme pastebin
Sheylin: not that name, maybe unity-lens-shopping
adaminsull:  um... why do you need to install something from lenny..?
you shouldn't have to...
I don't know but lemme pastebing
pastebin
adaminsull: stop
http://pastebin.com/rg8wsq6R
adaminsull: if you don't know *why* you're doing a thing, *DON'T BLOODY WELL DO IT*
gordonjcp: Look at the pastebin link it explains
how can i find a content in a file in a specific folder
adaminsull: what are you actually running?
ubuntu
which version?
wingy: you can use grep command
how do I check?
hey guys
adaminsull: By running lsb_release -a and putting it into a pastebin
ok
uname -a
12.2.0 Darwin Kernel Version 12.2.0: Sat Aug 25 00:48:52 PDT 2012; root:xnu-2050.18.24~1/RELEASE_X86_64 x86_64
adaminsull: Whats the output of lsb_release -a ?
n8w: Heya
-bash: lsb_release: command not found
adaminsull: you are running macos
adaminsull: as you know as your in #macos
adaminsull: Then you are not using Ubuntu...
adaminsull: please stop messing around in this channel,
I AM NOT IT IS UNBUNTU SERVER
adaminsull: then why does it have a darwin kernel
MAC LAPTOP WITH UBUNTU SERVER
Stanley00: grep was cool
I don't know
adaminsull: the output of uname -a suggests you're booted into Mac OSX
But it is a ubuntu server
adaminsull: and why are you trying to install lenny which is debian
how safe is it to log into a server through ssh in a public wifi spot? and how can I make it more secure?
adaminsull: right, so it's not an ubuntu install
adaminsull: it's not an Ubuntu server, because it's not running Ubuntu
maslo: incredibly safe
I am but I am using mac terminal to ssh in
adaminsull: you are not the ubuntu server
adaminsull: you're using the Mac terminal to run the 'lsb_release' and 'uname -a' commands
adaminsull: you are on the mac
adaminsull: okay, so you need to be typing those commands into the ssh terminal, then
ikonia: Yes but my server is on ubuntu
gordonjcp: I did
adaminsull: it's an easy mistake to make.  Don't do it with "shutdown -t now"
adaminsull: you didn't
adaminsull: yes, but you are not typing those command on the server
ikonia: I DID
adaminsull: You did not.
adaminsull: please stop
adaminsull: listen to us
I did
oh sorry
adaminsull: the kernel you have just shown us is a mac kernel
my mistake :/
forgot
adaminsull: stop arguing, and start listening
adaminsull: you're a welly, aren't you?
I made a mistake
lol
gordonjcp: are you being sarcastic? can anything important get sniffed out/used against you?
im lookin for a tool like mpstat which shows real time cpu utilization...no top,htop etc
adaminsull: now start listening, we know what we're doing
forgot to do the ssh
maslo: no, that's the whole point of ssh
any ideas?
adaminsull: we know, we told you
so much love
n8w: mpstat does a lot- but it does NOT show you real time CPU statistics.
Linux zxdhfdai 2.6.18-308.el5.028stab099.3 #1 SMP Wed Mar 7 15:56:00 MSK 2012 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux
maslo: I guess it's possible, but non-trivial
adaminsull: that is redhat
what?
adaminsull: that is a redhat kernel
bekks:  ye...it shows some weird cpu avg
oh ok
adaminsull: I suspect this is a VPS
yes
maslo: you know when you connect to a server for the first time, it asks you to verify the key fingerprint?
adaminsull: then it's not ubuntu
gordonjcp: yes
n8w, gkrellm?
maslo: if you ssh from some "untrusted" connection and it asks you *again* to verify the fingerprint, it may be that someone is up to no good
n8w: It calculates statistics from the momemt you turned on the computer, no realtime at all.
ikonia: It's running ubuntu
linux
adaminsull: no, it's not
then what is it running
adaminsull: it's a bastardised version from your virtual VPS providere
adaminsull: that is a redhat kernel
adaminsull: Redhat....
but it's linux
adaminsull: different version though
InspectorCluseau:  hmm i would prefer cmd tool
adaminsull: But no Ubuntu.
adaminsull: it's not ubuntu
Yes... but windows 95, is not Windows 8... Redhat Linux is NOT Ubuntu
then how do I fix it
adaminsull: sounds like you need to take this up with them - I remember trying to help you last Saturday with this - looks like there are custom APT sources too
adaminsull: ask your vps provider
adaminsull: You cant fix it.
adaminsull: the distro they have used will be their custom setup
\?
adaminsull: what's not clear ?
adaminsull: You cant change the distro your VPS provider used.
InspectorCluseau:  smth like mpstat...i need to end up with a single number for cpu usage which can then b further used in scripts
gordonjcp: well I'm just worried to have my root or main username leaked through sniffing because I haven,T used ssh that much, I'm a programmer and I have made multiplayer games so i understand how connection works between clients and server i just wanna make sure it is secure enought o just log in at a public wi-fi and that what is being sniffed can,T be cracked easily through bruteforce
All of it as it's on linux ubuntu
adaminsull: it's not
adaminsull: It isnt Ubuntu.
adaminsull: we know what we're talking about
BUT IT SAYS
adaminsull: DONT SHOUT PLEASE
lol
adaminsull: your VPS provider has made a custom distirubtion based on it's hosting platform, using a redhat kernel and debian/ubuntu components
do you have physical access to the server?
maslo: ssh wont be sniffed
I use ssh
adaminsull: your hosting provider is the right support resource
:/
topper4125: No, he hasnt.
I am getting ready to upgrade to 12.10.  I downloaded the dvd and burned to disc.  WHen I boot from it I get really bad display. http://tinypic.com/r/977byc/6  & http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=6sumtu&s=6 both are flickering and moving .  I redownloaded the image and tried using a Flash Drive to install but get same problem.  Any thoughts?
just wanted to be sure... I know people that SSH into servers that are right behind them physically because the server has no monitor or KB...
defekt: ok thank you for reassuring me, I wanted to make a user on my vps and have it access to nothing so that even if it gets leaked little to no damage can be doen but if ssh is that secure I don,t think I'll have to
maslo: ssh can be bruteforced, just make sure you use a "secure" password
JuJuBee: You dont need to download and burn something for updating your Ubuntu.
n8w, you want usage for a particular process?
maslo: don't ssh as root, ever
Hey guys, I'm looking for a program that will help me to basically cat a text file and echo URLs found in the text file to another file.  Is there a program that does this or should I struggle with creating an awk/grep/sed/print/echo string?
JuJuBee: can you boot it using the safe graphics mode ?
SpecialEd: "grep" and ">"
bekks: I always do fresh intsall
InspectorCluseau:  nope, for all processes n all cpu's
gordonjcp: I know
maslo: and unless someone is *really* keen to get your password or ssh key, it's safe enough
SpecialEd: you should ask in #bash
JuJuBee: Thats no upgrade then. :)
maslo: if someone wants your password that badly, they won't sniff ssh to get it
InspectorCluseau:  n smth that has output like mpstat or vmstat
ikonia: how?
SpecialEd: grep http yourfilename > yoursecondfilename
maslo: if some nefarious organisation wants your password *that* badly, they'll bundle you into the back of a van and set off for a disused industrial estate somewhere
bekks: technically you are correct, but I have been burned using the updater to upgrade
maslo: I mean, if *I* wanted your password that badly, that's how I'd go about it
Beeks: Can I pm you?
gordonjcp: hehe hurm 4096 encrytion ... nothing a $5 spanner cant fix!
beeks: nevermind ur second response nailed it for me in my head, im good thanks:) will try now
savio, /msg ubottu
bazhang, what?
ikonia: I never get the list of choices (at least that I can read).
savio, /msg ubottu      <----- do that
savio: please /msg ubottu  with your comands
JuJuBee: so it's not even booting that far
JuJuBee: Then its no reinstallk
Nope
JuJuBee: Then its no reinstall but an upgrade whoi
gordonjcp; lol I don't know how easy it would be to pick up someone in a van at a public spot and i don't think anyone is ever goign to want my password THAT much, the vps is mainly used as an apache server for 2 -4websitse so i know lots of people would do anthing to deface websites/find vuln, I'm just trying to be careful
savio  try factoids by using /msg ubottu
JuJuBee: Then its no reinstall but an upgrade which you dont need to download and burn something for.
maslo: yeah, there you go then
MonkeyDust, defekt bazhang got it
I had them hosted by a friend before on his dedicated server but...things got complicated and our 8 years old friendship is over, I bought a vps and transferred everythign to it and even though i've been programming for 7 years I never really touched linux so i'm just lost in general but I'm getting through with it
I'm want register
bekks: it's also NOT a turkey on the thanksgiving table.
n8w, This help? http://www.thegeekstuff.com/2011/03/sar-examples/
But it's saying it's using the linux kernel
adaminsull, so ask in ##linux
ok
InspectorCluseau:  ye i know about sar, but it also returns this weird avg% which is not the real time copu utilization
sadec, /join #freenode for help
InspectorCluseau:  its the same as mpstat...it keeps showin 90% idle while all cpus r utilized 100%
n8w: sar displays realtime stats, mpstat does not.
n8w: Dont count on the output of mpstat at all.
Question: I've set AllowRootLogin to no in the /etc/ssh/sshd_config file on my host computer, yet when I do ssh root@mydomain.com from my client system, it still asks for the password for the root user. Is this the normal behavior?
Shouldn't it say that the user doesn't exist or something?
Seus: The root user exists. NEVER use root for ssh.
can anyone tell me what im doing wrong ? http://pastebin.com/kUUxiZPN
i realize that bekks. I'm trying to make sure its disabled
exalt: man chroot - you've not got the ability to execute /bin/bash in your chroot - probably because it's linked to a path outside the chroot (libraries)
Seus: It IS disabled, since root has no password set at all.
but when i go and test it by seeing if i can login with root from ssh, it still asks me for the root password even though i set the appropriate part in the sshd_config file to no
out of interest does the root user actually have a password (I don't plan to use it), but i've only ever gained root access using sudo
ah i gotcha
ikonia, it worked from that precise path yesterday also
exalt: then look at why /bin/bash is unavalable in your chroot
Anybody know how I can make my Atheros AR9462 wifi work?

adaminsull: stop
adaminsull, no its not

adaminsull: I have explained to you what to do
It says there
:/
adaminsull, custom setup with a redhat kernel. thats not ubuntu
adaminsull: it has a redhat kernel - it is a custom build by your VPS provider
adaminsull: contact your VPS provider
I am in #linux they sent me here
how am I able to tell when an update/install is done on ubuntu?
adaminsull: contact your VPS provider
I installed something big big via SSH, but closed the window
Kvarley: atheros is suported by linux,it shouldnt be much dificult
Kvarley: what are you actualy facing with?
I did
Blkrdo: Won't show me any wifi hotspots in the network manager.
Blkrdo: On 12.04 I got disconnected randomly
ikonia: any suggestions?
JuJuBee: not at this time
hey, how is that possible that my internet connection is faster with networkmanager than with wicd?
howcome I cannot change the screensaver when running gnome-screensaver?
hey all
bekks:  ye mpstat seems to b weird
bekks:  well im not sure about sar either...
Kvarley: 12.04 is buggy! Tried updating the drivers? Madwifi?
hi guys, my notebook is a mess after i upgraded it to 12.04. I've found out that wlan0 is now eth1, and i can't authenticate into my wireless router with wpa/wpa2
n8w: I am not sure, I know it, about sar :)
bekks:  ok:)...well then tell me why the output of sar does not correspond to the output of htop(regardin CPU usage)
n8w: Because htop is no realtime tool, while sar is.
In 12.10 how do I stop bluetooth running everytime I start a new session?
ikonia, .... http://pastebin.com/gr92SaHs ^^
exalt: why are you showing me that ?
kvarley1: click turn off bluetooth doesn't work?
bekks:  hmm i guess it depends on your interpretation of a realtime tool
Stanley00: It works but as soon as I reboot it enables it again
kvarley1: Go into startup applications and I believe you can see everything that starts up
ikonia, well because i fixed my problem
exalt: great
reindeernix: It only shows apps I've installed (Samsung Tools, System Load Indicator)
please guys, i can't authenticate into my wireless network :(
n8w: htop might be handy, but I wonr rely on it. On sar, I would,
kvarley1: If I remember correctly you can make it show everything somehow
JeffBauer:  i would test with a 12.10 live cd. see if it works there
kvarley1:  /etc/xdg/autostart/  has stuff you may want to move/remove  from the default sessions
kvarley1: I found a solution to your problem here, http://askubuntu.com/questions/131684/how-to-boot-with-bluetooth-turned-off :)
dr_willis, it stopped working after i upgraded to 12.04. Now my wlan0 is reconized as eth1 and i can't authenticate
reindeernix: Thanks :)
kvarley1: No problem :)
wlan or eth0 is handled by the drivers. so shouldent matter.
JeffBauer:  i would still test with a 12.10 live cd to see if it works on a default setup
 reindeernix: Found a command on howtogeek.com to show all, disabled it :) thanks for the help
kvarley1: You're welcome :D

Installed ubuntu 12.10 gnome shell remix lastnight. Had trouble getting ATI driver working.. So install ubuntu desktop. To see what unity would do.It was just loging to a blank desktop with no panel.. Now i got ATI going how do i remove everything ubuntu desktop installed?
Hidefekt, just wants to find someone who can kindly tell me what is http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline, i'm a newbie here..
Brustofski-Fan: what do you mean ubuntu desktop releated ?
Brustofski-Fan: apt-get --purge?
ikonia, yes.. unity and all that... just want what gnome remix came with
Brustofski-Fan: they are both build on the same libraries, so the core difference is unity/gnome-shell the rest should be the same
ikonia, yes.. but ubuntu desktop installed a lot more then just unity
Brustofski-Fan: if you look at the meta-package you can see the packages it installs, just remove them
Brustofski-Fan: the basics are the same, gnome 3 library set, with either gnome shell or unity on top
Brustofski-Fan: may I offer you a suggestion
whats that
Brustofski-Fan: before you start removing things, change your xorg config to use the vesa drivers to get a display up - from there you can investigate the problems with the ati setup and move forward
already got ati working
Brustofski-Fan: so what's the problem then ?
Brustofski-Fan: (apologies if I've miss-understood what you tried to explain)
Brustofski-Fan: if i understand correctyl, you installed ubuntu-desktop to troubleshoot and now want to remove it and everything it brought since you've solved your original ati issue.  Is that right?
ikonia, installed ubuntu 12.10 gnome shell remix.. when i had trouble geting ati working installed ubuntu-desktop. Now i want to remove everything ubuntu-desktop installed to get back to a default install
Brustofski-Fan: ok, query the ubuntu desktop metapackage and remove it's packages
jrib, right
ikonia, apt-get remove ubuntu-desktop is just removing that 1 package
Brustofski-Fan: i konw, that's not what I told you to do
someday I will learn linux
how do i query it

hello
can some one tell me how i get right include for i2c-dev.h on ubuntu server(omap4)
how do I get newer packages in ubuntu?
I want the latest texlive distribution and the newest compilers
exec /sbin/getty -n -l `/usr/sbin/iptraf -d 0 -f` -8 38400 tty1
doesnt seem to work
my statrdic can not speak
this works but then i can't pass iptraf any parms : exec /sbin/getty -n -l /usr/sbin/iptraf -8 38400 tty1
beaky  if you want something newer than what's in the repos, you need a ppa or so, but that's not supprted here
ah
can some one tell me on where i find right include for i2c-dev.h? seems like the file i found on /usr/include/linux/ is not complete the i2c_smbus_xx functions are missed there.
maxbit: http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?searchon=contents&keywords=i2c-dev.h&mode=exactfilename&suite=quantal&arch=any    shows the locations

join #ubuntu
is it possible? sudo make install && reboot && lsusb
w3p5t3r  the command is shutdown -r now and it won't remember the lsusb, if you tried it the way you suggest
MonkeyDust +1
thx
but autostart a terminal with command is not possible
?
k only location i can find it is on /usr/include/linux but if look at it with nano the function prototypes are missed there !? could it be that there is some thing wrong in some packages?
w3p5t3r: doesn't reboot need sudo too?
dont know ^^ i thonk only about the chain command function
think
w3p5t3r, sure, add terminal to startup applications, command is gnome-terminal
w3p5t3r: I recommend guake if you use terminal a lot
Hi! When I try running vncviewer (tightvnc), I get "Too many authentication failures". How can I solve this? (I own the server too.)
not much...but i learn about ^
tgary: what are you wanting to do on the server once you get connected?
in 12.10, what program must I run (from the terminal) to configure gnome-screensaver settings?  i.e. how do I choose what my screensaver is?
jrib: does it even come with one
jrib: gnome-3 in general doesn't seem to like the idea of a screensaver
ikonia: I think it used to be in appearance properties?
ikonia: oh
jrib: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1986262
jrib: use this http://www.addictivetips.com/ubuntu-linux-tips/how-to-activate-screen-saver-in-ubuntu-11-10/
jrib: I've had this issue on Fedora also, I tried to link x-screensaver back in with intereting results
jrib: you can install a screensaver using that
ActionParsnip: that's 11.10 it works different on gnome-3
ikonia: still the same packages exist, 11.10 also uses Gnome3
ActionParsnip: I mean vncviewer doesn't ask for password, it just prints this error. I can read it in the vnc log also. But I can ssh into the server: can I reset vncserver to ask the client for password?
ActionParsnip: sorry, 11.04 was the last non-true gnome 3 build
tgary: ok, but what are you wanting to use VNC toachieve
my real question: glslideshow (which is what xscreensaver provides for a picture slideshow) has a documented (in its source code) glitch that causes it to stutter so I was wondering if gnome-screensaver had some sort of picture slideshow that was not glslideshow
tgary: 9 times in 10 there is a sleeker solution for what people use VNC for
ikonia: no worries dude :)
jrib: I don't believe gnome-screensaver has anything of value any more reading what the dev's think of using a screen saver
ActionParsnip: for tunneling limeted proxy ports?
ActionParsnip: I run a vncserver on a remote host, and I want to view its screen. (This case I run a remote X, which I want to use for long running tasks. screen is not graphical, X forwarding requires the client to run as well.)
ikonia: ah ok.  Thanks.  Thank you ActionParsnip as well
tgary: gotcha, its not something I use but I like to suggest alternatives :)
ActionParsnip: Sorry, this is a runnig config. Only "others" tried to guess the vncpassword many times without success. But now the server rejects every try -including mine.
tgary: tried setting a new password?
hi im looking at the installation logs of an old machine, can anyone explain the time difference in it ? http://pastebin.com/TqkYeLMk

hi, i installed xubuntu on my laptop. i cant use wifi because it says "wireless disabled by hardware switch" -  i tried rfkill ublock as suggested in many forums, but i does not help. i have a w-lan button, but it is not recognized by windows. what can i do?
z3r0pr0f1t: will look it up
nabblet: does the system have a make and model?
ActionParsnip, did it take that long in those times ?
nabblet: do you dual boot the system?
exalt: yes.
exalt: if there are lots of updates then yes it can
ActionParsnip, its back in time... ?
exalt: didn't the clocks change?
say hello and go to bed...
exalt: Thats switch from 12:.. to 7:.. was most likely caused by NTP.
exalt: in autumn, the clocks go back an hour
ActionParsnip, it is a noname cytron from TCM... it was win XP before but xp was unusable so its ubuntu only
ActionParsnip, when i press the wireless key, i get unknow key notions on dmesg
ActionParsnip, hi, did i just disconnect? did i miss something?
nabblet: is it a hard switch or a shortcut on the keyboard?
ActionParsnip, it is an extra key
ActionParsnip, it is a button, not an on-off switch
nabblet: if you run:   xev     and press the key, does it make an event?
ActionParsnip, no
nabblet: may be why then.
ActionParsnip, ?
nabblet: is there an option in BIOS to set the state of the wifi at bootup?
ActionParsnip, only to off or last state :P
ActionParsnip, nice, huh ?
ActionParsnip, maybe when pressing the button during boot up, it might get through
nabblet: if the OS is not reacting to the button press, then you pressing the wifi switch is doing nothing.....think about it. The OS is not getting an event when the button is pressed
nabblet: worth a try
ActionParsnip, but on the other hand... i see messages in dmesg if the button is pressed
nabblet: gotcha, that's good. Does it say that it switched back off?
hii
nabblet: what wifi chip do you use?
my amule receives low id,and can not download
ActionParsnip, i only get the dmesg - but noting seems to change
ActionParsnip, let me try to verify with iwlist, iwconfig und ifconfig
ActionParsnip, lspci shows Network controller: Ralink corp. RT2500 Wireless 802.11bg (rev 01)
ActionParsnip, sudo ifconfig wlan0 up results in a complaint about rf-kill
ActionParsnip, but as i said, i can only remove the soft blcok but not the hard block
nabblet: if you run:  sudo iwlist scan     do you see wireless networks?
ActionParsnip, wlan0     Interface doesn't support scanning : Network is down
nabblet: try:   sudo ifup wlan0
ActionParsnip, Ignoring unknown interface wlan0=wlan0
ActionParsnip, ifconfig only lists eth0 and lo
nabblet: if you unload then reload the kernel module, does it help?
ActionParsnip, but iwconfig list wlan0 eth0 and lo
ActionParsnip, would that be the same as restarting?
nabblet: no, you want to unload and then reload the module in the running OS

daidai: I don't even use edonkey, or know what the error means
daidai: I just searched and found that
low id = not sharing back
ActionParsnip, this may take time - lots of dependicies
YokoBR: can you give us some more information - what version are you running? Can you open a terminal and type 'uname -r' to tell us kernel version?
nabblet: for a network driver, shouldn't be
nabblet: you did run:   sudo lshw -C network      to see the driver name?
h00k, ubuntu 12.04, hp g42, broadcom 4313 wireless PCI id 14e4:4727
Inoki: let me test
ActionParsnip, no - just did now: driver=rt2500pci
ActionParsnip: I figured now, thanks. It was my IP Blocker blocking MS IPs :D
Inoki: yeah, works ok here in raring
ActionParsnip, but if i do modinfo rt2500pci i get depends:        rt2x00lib,rt2x00pci,eeprom_93cx6 - and then it tickles down
nabblet: oh thats nasty
ActionParsnip, but maybeit worls if i only rmmod rt2500pci ? lemme try
nabblet: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=563547&page=51
nabblet: seems you need to blacklist the rt2500pci driver
nabblet: echo "blacklist rt2500pci" | sudo tee -a /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf > /dev/null
nabblet: reboot to test
Umm hello. I use it (IRC chat) first time and came for little help on Ubuntu. Can somebody please help?
max1: sure, but we prefer if you just go ahead and ask the question; no need to ask for permission
ActionParsnip, ok, i will try reboot with pressing the putton and then if that does not work, rebot after blacklist
ActionParsnip, brb
ok thnx. The question (the problem) is: When I restarted my Ubuntu a few minutes ago, I've noticed that I have whole Desktop missing (and there is nothing in /home/user/Desktop). What's the problem/ what should I do to get my Desktop back?
My Unity runs ok. I use Ubuntu 12.04.
max1: is nautilus running?
just a sec
Yeah Nautilus runs OK
max1: nautils draws the desktop icons
no, it doesn't. And not only that - I cant even see them if i go straight to home/user/desktop
then you have none
wowo
it now does
max1: do you use (or have you ever used) a language other than english on your ubuntu?
Hey, I have a question. I have 8GiB RAM installed in my machine, but Ubuntu says in the system monitor 7.7GiB. Where did my 0.3GiB go to? I don't use my integrated graphics. (It is not really a problem, but more a question)
Yes i did. It was russian. I DID confirm to rename folders in home.
max1: pastebin your ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs
but becoz u asked now ive spotted that they have changed back to russian
Sietse_: you will have slightly less due to base 2 numbers
max1: ok
Sietse_: its like an 80Gb HDD is about 74Gb
I thought that ram was already base 2 numbers? And not 0-rounded
Sietse_: if you have onboard video then it may be using 256Mb for itself
Trying to install Ubuntu Server 12, fails 75% of the way into base-install with error " "Unable to install busybox-initramfs""
sorry but how can i access "~/" directory ?
ActionParsnip, I'll have to look in my BIOS then, because I use my dedicated card
Sietse_: what is the output of:    free -m     please use a pastebin to host
http://pastebin.com/vwsAKWru
Sietse_: try just "free" vs "free -m" as well.  mine 4GB show 4061016 with free, and 3965 with the -m.
max1: ~ is just short for /home/username (or whatever your HOME is)
Sietse_: 7919Mb RAM ....pretty close to me
ActionParsnip, zykotick9, 'free' shows 8109816
Sietse_: free -m   is in megabytes (easier to read)
ActionParsnip, ok, reboot and pressing the wlan button does not work. then i blacklisted and rebootetd. now wlan is not visible in iwlist
ActionParsnip, yeah but still. It shows more then 8000000kb there. But the system monitor says 7.7GiB.
ActionParsnip, i can see the card in lspci
Sietse_: maybe its a bug in the GUI app. I always trust free :)
And what does mean pastbin that file?
pastebin?
user_: then remove the live you added and load the module
ActionParsnip, maybe, whatever, I don't need the 0.3GiB anyways. Was just wondering. Thanks :)
ActionParsnip, sorry, for nick confusion
Sietse_: no worries
k
nabblet: no worries, i twigged on
ActionParsnip, remove the live?
max1: http://pastebin.com to dump output and share without flooding
nabblet: remove the line you add to the file, you will be back where you started
ActionParsnip, ah, the line
ActionParsnip, ok, will do, brb
ActionParsnip, or maybe if i try to load it manually?
nabblet: try it
http://pastebin.com/CJV4niak
Oh man. I described the situation wrong. I have both English and Russian versions of folders in my /home/ folder, but the actual files are in Russian version.
max1: and you want them in English?
I guess I want everything to be in English, yeah.
should i just move 'em?
max1: got a screenie?
what does screenie mean?
max1: not sure I fully follow...
hello
max1: screenshot
wait i ll make it
ActionParsnip, no change. rfkill lsit says softblock no, hardblock yes

nabblet: you may be able to use force with the unblock
ActionParsnip, i don't understand
hi!
what is the current api for displaying text in gnome panel from python? i can't find any info on that
Is there any way to use a precise ppa
nabblet: rfkill doesn't have a force option, never mind
on quantal?
I need a newer llvm than is shipped
ben1066: it snot advised or supported
hello? i have made the screenshot how do i send it to you?
My point is I can only find ppas for precise
how can I make that install on quantal?
max1  http://imagebin.org/index.php?page=add
max1: what MonkeyDust said
MonkeyDust: as in the BBC3 TV programme?
http://imagebin.org/235358
ben1066: what version do you desire?
linux|newb  yes, but on another channel here
3.1 or never
newer*
I can find llvm 3.1
not clang
MonkeyDust: here being Belgium?
linux|newb  correct
MonkeyDust: ...I didn't know we exported to Belgium. it's cool though, right?
I can connect to my wifi on windows and it works fine.  On ubuntu, I can *connect* to it, but it never works.  I can't think of an obvious solution/problem.  Any ideas?
jellostick: what have you tried so far?
max1: what did you do to creat the russian folders in the first place?
max1: you installed Ubuntu in Russian and then changed after install complete?
I had UBuntu installed as Russian.
Yes, what you ve said
anyone know how to use libreoffice to create a chart from data. Like count all the F and M in a column and put into a chart
But it worked ok till now
for two days it worked ok
lunaphyte: nothing, really.  i mean, (on ubuntu) I can connect to my school's wifi and use it.  So far it just seems to be my apartment's wifi.
It's like the signal is weaker to ubuntu than windows
jellostick: you should spend some time troubleshooting it.
lunaphyte: what can I do?
ActionParsnip, just on this page http://paste.ubuntu.com/1348238/ it says i should dmesg | egrep 'radio|kill|switch' wich returns me http://paste.ubuntu.com/1348238/
max1: what is the problem exactly
jellostick: is an address assigned?
lunaphyte: yes
ActionParsnip, it also mentions that some hw-switch only work before any os booted
jellostick: can you ping the gateway?
that i dont have anything shown on my desktop
lunaphyte: i'll try.  im going to reboot into ubuntu.  i'll be back here on my phone
i guess i have to move everything to english folder, right?
max1: what does 'xdg-user-dirs DESKTOP' print?
max1: ...that's the most obvious approach but not the most effective
max1: however, I have no alternatives
can you hold for 5-10 mins pls/
?
max1: sure. out of interest. if you're from the CR why did you install in Russian in the first place? or is that an ignorant question?
ben1066: installing ok?
I just compiled it from source, that appeared to be easier :)
ben1066: just found a second PPA
ben1066: https://launchpad.net/~noobslab/+archive/nvidia-testing?field.series_filter=quantal
what is the current api for displaying text in gnome panel from python? i can't find any info on that. it seems like every applet i can find that does that uses gnomeapplet which has been deprecated and removed over a year ago.
ben1066: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+ppas?name_filter=llvm    is all I used, I looked at all the PPAs and found that
sorry, i shouldn't be up+entering but it's just so inviting
ben1066: how is adding a PPA via a command I GAVE YOU. then installing the package not as easy as compiling?
ben1066: how do you figure compiling is easier than a packaged?
I couldnt find a clang 3.1 package
I found llvm
well, i upgraded network-manager and now it works fine :P
lunaphyte: so thanks :P

jellostick: heh.  go deal
ben1066: try the link i gave, you can search all PPAs there

Hi. I've got some external drives that mount themselves in /media/tom. How do I give myself the permissions to write to all of these drives in /media/tom? Should I just chown it recursively?
llutz I realize that but the groups and owner are listed as well ..which comes first?
TomSlominski: what file system is on them ?
ikonia: I've got one ext4 and one NTFS
hikenboot: ls shows permissions in this order "owner, group, others"
ikonia, the NTFS seems alright
TomSlominski: so the ntfs one you need to chown and chmod to match your neeeds
TomSlominski: the ntfs one should be fine
hikenboot: ls shows permissions in this order "owner, group, others" "owner group"
can no1 help me? i hate the extremely light text on white background, and i rly don't know how to change that....
ikonia, the NTFS one is fine. The ext4 one isn't. I'll just chown it
TomSlominski: you need to chown and chmod it
llutz it apparently sows the current owner before the group ...thanks just had to create a file and set its user with chown to see for sure...it was a stuipid question with a simple answer
ikonia: A chown seems to have done the job. Thanks.
hm, guys, does this look right? http://i233.photobucket.com/albums/ee178/Squall5668/1.png videos/screenshots from 12.10 all seem to have the old unity look
Squall5668: looks like gnome shell
yeah, but i didn't install it
Squall5668: chosen from the session menu?
Squall5668: looks like you did
llutz last question and I promise to leave you alone which permissions are effective the least restrictive of owner and group or the most restrictive of the two
ikonia linux|newb: looks like i did, well, guess i was too drunk :)

Skater_2015: they won't be "the same" but there are similar versions
Squall5668: that language is uncalled for an unwelcome, please stop
Squall5668: it's a preference thing. new in 12.10 is shopping
ikonia: which is why there are asterisks, still sorry to offend ;) ill give it a try
all right,   because I'm moving from Debian 7 (wheezy) to Ubuntu 12.04 (Precise Pangolin)

point taken
Which nvidia driver is better fro Unity and gaming... The 304 driver from ubuntu-x-swat or the 310 from the experimental install in the ubuntu repos? Which is better to use?
Squall5668: mega, thank you

Joeman1: depends on your card and it's level of support for that card
Hi. I'm trying to disable one key in the move plugin in compiz via gconf. How do I set it to disabled?
Does anyone know how that could be done?
I have a GeForce GTX 570 HD
Joeman1: ok, so you need to research that card and the support in each drier
that was from lspci
It's a string that contains <Alt>F7 and I need it to be completely disabled.
OK, thanks... I will take a look!
TomSlominski: is the string you want to disable ctrl+alt+f7?  if so, i doubt you can.  and you probably shouldn't.

ah, since I'm gonna be running a minecraft server, do I need LVM enabled?
Skater_2015: that has nothing to do with lvm
Skater_2015: it depends on your needs and system
all right,
I guess a Pentium 4 2.26ghz with 1.5GB ram doesn't need lvm
Skater_2015: what /

Hello I am using pure ftp have created owner of files and directories according to restrictive policies on wordpress web files user /var/www I have given ownership of files/directories to www-data and a group of www-users to the files which are more restrictive...now I am trying to get ftp working for a user with high permissions for use with a wordpress plugin temporarily
*OerHeks... hehe
_3vi1_, i know there is a workaround
I want to specify the owner group for the user of www-data, but I cant figure out how to specify it for the ftp users with pure-ftpd
anyone able to help
OerHeks:  Not even a workaround really - just install it and right-click it on the launcher.  A lot of us installed it in anticipation of getting beta invites... then didn't.  :p  C'est la vie.
note i am not making the user a member of www-users so it has less restrictive permissions
but making it just a member of the group www-data does not seem to allow me to do a mkdir via ftp so something is a-miss

is there a hardware compatability list for graphics cards, or anyone know off hand if a geforce gt640 will run ok on linu
ikonia : i dont understand
on ubuntu /12.10
cyberflyz: are you using ntp yes/no ?
ikonia: assuming it is not - hpw do I correctly set the list on my machine
yes
jpmh: you don't, as if the file is missing, it's not your problem/fault
the problem is that this plugin is dumb normally one wouldnt want allow ftp user to be able to change and delete everything in /var/www it should have worked instead over ssh
cyberflyz: ok, so check the ntp source

Good morning Linux community. The best community I've seen thus far! :D
There's an option during the installation of Linux that says "Encrypt my home folder". What's the other option that you shouldn't enable after you have selected to "Encrypt my home folder"?
I just need to know the name of it, so I can research it for my homework assignment.
rinches: just boot the CD and look as I don't know what option you're referencing
ok

Hey Nahjil. I can try to help you to the best of my ability that I can do.
Do you have wubi.exe?
If not, you can get it from this link: http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/windows-installer
invisibleheero, why don't you just download the deb @ http://code.google.com/p/webcamstudio/downloads/list or here are compiling instructions >> http://www.ws4gl.org/download/manual-installation
Nahjil: I'd advise you not to use wubi as TechTanner is suggeting
Nahjil: partition your disk to have a partition for ubuntu and windows, and do a standard ubuntu install
Okay. I
I'm just trying to do the same thing, and I am trying to partition my computer into using another partition, however I already have 4 primary partitions. Is it save to change a partition that doesn't use a bootloader to a logical?
TechTanner: you can't change partitions
TechTanner: you have to delete and re-create
ikonia, good seeing you again. I fixed it. just had to do gcc-4.6 -s -Wl
OerHeks, the deb doesn't work. I just installed it now
i have changed the ntp source but it didn't work for me
cyberflyz: that's not what I told you to do

how do I get a windowed view of my vnc login to my windows box... gvncviewer works but has not window cannot be sized down or moved - any suggestion?
Hye can anyone help me to soort this problem or help me to fill a bug in launchpad ?
http://pastebin.com/HpvAVcG4
zatan: touch the file
touch filename?
zatan: do you have an external repo enabled, as that version doesn't look like it's coming from ubuntu
Okay, need some help. Other than "Encrypt my home folder", the other option would be "Encrypt whole disk" correct?
ikonia, I have touched but got some more http://pastebin.com/k8i1nUSV
rinches, no
ikonia, I have installed from nvidia.com those drivers
zatan: then you have broke your system
rinches, other option would have your home dir not encrypted
ikonia, ... so what next step I should apply ?
zatan: but I don't see where 304.64-0ubuntu1~quantal~xup1 is coming from
zatan: what repo is that package held in
Well this question on my homework is confusing me.
rinches: boot the CD rom
rinches: then you will know the option]
ikonia, https://github.com/Bumblebee-Project/Bumblebee
zatan: ok, so that's a 3rd party repo, so you'll need to a.) remove all nvidia.com drivers b.) contact the repo owner to fix the pckage
ikonia, I cant bloody not event  --purge remove those drivers! http://pastebin.com/fySbTXPj    amm is there anyway that I can install just default ubuntu nvidia drivers ?
is there a way to tell the ike and setkey services not to shut down when the system goes down ?
zatan: no, they will conflict with the nvidia.com ones
ikonia, so if I cant remove nvidia.com drivers ?
zatan, if you added x-swat, just use ppa-purge to reverse the driver
zatan: you need to manually remove all the stuff installed by nvidia.com - then contact the owner of the 3rd party repo to get the package fixed
zatan: then you are in a mess if you can't remove them
ikonia, reinstall ubuntu will help ?
zatan: it will remove them, yes
amm  so I think I know my next step...
ok sigh..here goes i have the following permissions on a folder drwxr-sr-x ftpuser www-users when logging in via pureftp i issue a mkdir beneath that directory (mkdir test) and I get access is denied anyone know why?
zatan: you can also enforce the installation of the ubuntu ones, which will override the nvidia stuff, and should solve your package madness
grimeton, how can I do that ?
zatan: dpkg --install --force-all $package
it won't work, but by all means, try it
that will only overwrite the kernel module, not the libc interface it builds
then he has to enforce that too
dpkg --install --force-all nvidia-current     dpkg: error processing nvidia-current (--install):  cannot access archive: No such file or directory
if there's a force, there's a way
is this the right channel to talk about conky problems?
Hello all.
zatan: the file itself, not the package name
hi
my user is a member of ftpuser not of www-users
it won't work
hikenboot: so, what do you have to change to make it work then?
Has anyone here tried doing an BLFS build on Raspberry Pi?
Zer0Glitch_: that is nothing to do with ubuntu
not sure the user fptuser has drwx isnt that eveything?
hikenboot: are you logging in as ftpuser?
ikonia > False statement. If Raspberri Pi can handle a BLFS build, it can manage Ubuntu, though it will need to boot from SD and then load out from SSD connect via USB.
My question was technical, and you are a n00b.
Zer0Glitch_: it's nothing to do with ubuntu
guys, any hints and tips to make my programs detect my webcam? not even Cheese detects it -- Bus 001 Device 002: ID 064e:a103 Suyin Corp. Acer/HP Integrated Webcam [CN0314]
MonkeyDust: look at what device file cheese wants to use
well this is where i am a little fuzzy i have creaed a user called ftpuser and its attached to my account in pureftp and i am logged into ftp with my account so I am a bit unsure i cant seem to set a separate password for ftp user in pureftp
ikonia, I see the option they are talking about within the book. Would you mind if I shared with you the question that the book is asking? I don't want the answer, but rather if you could, let me know if I'm right about what I'm thinking.
ikonia  it's empty and cannot be clicked
hikenboot: usually the ftp daemon changes the owner to the user that connected (if the user exists on the system)
rinches: do your own homework
hikenboot: so if you want to be ftpuser, login as ftpuser
MonkeyDust: so you need to find out (research) what device file it's looking at
Thanks for the help ikonia
Partitioning my system's hard drive to make space for a dual boot without re-formatting is is not doable, right?
hikenboot: OR, the daemon is configured to not change to a specific user, then it runs as $ftpuser and does not check permissions
hikenboot: figure that part of the setup out, and then we'll see what comes next
hikenboot: you could also try to change the group membership of the directory to the ftpuser's group
hikenboot: and then set the group permissions to wrx (7)
hikenboot: so you have 0777
hikenboot: or 0775
anyone know why the msntranslator program doesn't show up in the amsn plugins list? it's definitely installed in the proper directory. closing and re-opening amsn doesn't help. ubuntu 12.10
hikenboot: then it could start working - depending on the settings from above
anyone actually  got webaaps to work on 12.04 ?
hikenboot: btw: it's a good idea to use vsftpd
hello
vsftpd?
ok this mystery is getting rediculous i use passwd command to set password for ftpuser then i try and log via ftp and get 530 login authentication failed  remote system type is unix then it says using binary mode transfer files then comes to the prompt then when i do an ls it tells me that ftp: bind: address is already in use
hikenboot: yeah, that's a client issue
Guest25674: do you need anonymous access? or just system users?
restart the client
anonymous
hikenboot: you've just said things that are not related to each other
hikenboot: "address in use" is a server error
hikenboot: yet your trying to login, suggesting you are using a client
ikonia: you ever heard of the "login" command in ftp before?
Guest25674: good luck. i haven't used an anon account in years, so have no current knowledge of FTPds.
grimeton: yes
why ?
ikonia: so - if one can use the login command - how is it, that the error message hikenboot sees is server related?
whats the issue
grimeton: "bind address in use" is a server error, stating it can't bind the daemon to the  interface/address as it's already in use
ikonia: but it's not possible that the client is already connected and that another connection attempt fails because it is already connected?
grimeton: you wouldn't get that error, as you can have multiple ftp client sessions open
ikonia: yeah but not with the same client
grimeton: the client doesn't bind to an address
grimeton: yes, you can
ikonia: the client connects, tries to authenticate, that fails, but the control connection on tcp/21 is still open
grimeton: yes, that "session" is unique
ikonia: so issuing another open command returns this error
whats the issue?
when I was working in fedora, I was able to send mail from bash to my gmail account without and additional setup. I had to find the hostname in my junk box and white list but from then on it worked. is it the same deal with ubuntu?
ikonia: if hikenboot would have used login instead, it would have worked
grimeton: did I miss the part where he's opened a second connection ?
ikonia: you did
grimeton: I saw him trying to login, fail, then get the bind error
ikonia: i don't need to explain that to you again, do i?
linux|newb: that depends on if google see it as spam
grimeton: errr, I'm only seeing him open one connection from his description, where is he saying he's opening a second connection (I may have missed that in the scroll)
ikonia: it's in the same sentence
ikonia: go read, and think
ikonia: if I white list I don't need to worry about that but when I commit mail -s "some message" someaddress@domain.com it doesn't even arrive in spam...
ikonia: and all other answers are in here: http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc959.html
linux|newb: check it's leaving the queue
grimeton: I understand how ftp works, I'm not understanding/missing a part of his question
ikonia: and do me a favour - drop that attitude when trying to give support in this channel - the people in here are not dumb, they just don't know what they should read
Thank you grimeton :D
ikonia: mind expanding on how I check the queue... don't see anything in --help
you're welcome
grimeton: asking a question about the problem and stating it doesn't make sense it a reasonable question,
linux|newb: mailq
linux|newb: what mta are you running
ikonia: whatever's invoked by default when issuing mail from bash
linux|newb: mail doesn't invoke an mta, that's just a client
linux|newb: you need to be running an mta on your ubuntu machine for it to send the mail out
linux|newb: check what the mail command belongs to - usually it is part of the installed mta, like exim or postfix
ikonia: aharh! potentially the root to my issue. one in particular that you recommend?
linux|newb: there is normally exim installed by default, check it's setup/running
ok i am trying to test the ftp to it locally so i am in essence trying to ftp from a server I am already logged into...is this an improper test...if I was using ssh it would allow me to loop like this
linux|newb: just to send some mails from cli? ssmtp
linux|newb: there are also "dummies" that act like the usual mail command to the application, but transfer the mail via a predefined smtp server without the need to run a full blown mta
hikenboot: if you ftp into a server, you can't then invoke "ftp" again from that ftp prompt
hikenboot: no, that's fine - the thing is: how is the ftp daemon configured to act on a successfull login
hmm, I'd prefer to run an MTA though as I don't want the mail to appear that it's coming from some other account - y'know
ikonia, is this command enough sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh -a  to reinstall my 12.10 version ? or do thorugh DVD ?
linux|newb: then choose your poison ;)
zatan: I don't believe it will work as I stated earlelier,
zatan: that command just configured the ubuntu package
grimeton: may just go for ssmtp as ikonia suggested
grimeton i will investigate this thanks
ikonia: grimeton: cheers
zatan: you are not using the ubuntu package as you've installed it from nvidia.com
linux|newb: I didn't suggest ssmpt
ssmtp
ikonia, ok cheers burning new dvd and will re-install all ubuntu
ikonia: I guess I misunderstood, do you suggest any or is that against the ts and cs ;)?
linux|newb: exim is installed by default normally, you just have to configure/set it up

hi all, I tried to install oracle in ubuntu. but the data base is not up. can any one help me please?
phanindra: what happens when you try to start it
ikonia, lsnrctl status gives no out. I do not know if oracle is up
ikonia, "lsnrctl status"
phanindra: that's only the listener, not the database
grimeton: hazzah! I went for a blended approach. configured ssmtp to use my gmail smtp information and then used mail to issue comms
ikonia, can you tell me how to start the database?
is there a way to open a bash shell with different user without providing password ? (with sudo / su)
linux|newb: and let me guess - it worked ;)
grimeton: like a charm
I have a question for any Linux/Unix programmers.
phanindra: have you set up the database ?
i just google it
Hello, support? I need help, please!
I just have set up the database. I used the method in "http://www.techienote.com/tag/oracle-database-11g-r2-on-ubuntu-12-04". I ignored  3 warnings in linking binaries phase
yes what's your question
??
ikonia, I just have set up the database. I used the method in "http://www.techienote.com/tag/oracle-database-11g-r2-on-ubuntu-12-04". I ignored  3 warnings in linking binaries phase
knoppix, did you talk to me?
phanindra: ok, so how does that guide tell you to start the database ?
guys, i have a broadcom 4313 on ubuntu 12.04 but i can't get it working
phasephasephase
phanindra: wow, that guide is super wrong
ikonia, what shall I do? is there any way to install oracle in ubuntu?
phanindra: the oracle documentation has instructions on how to install it on linux
Any Unix/Linux programmers on?
ikonia, but it doesnot support ubuntu. thats why I have chosen that guide
Hello! Support guys! Can somebody please help me?
phanindra: you're right, Oracle doesn't officialy support ubuntu, but you can use the instructions as a "base" and just adapt
max1: Maybe anyone could help. What is your issue?
ikonia, ok. I will try that now. thank you.
phanindra: may I ask why you are trying to install Oracle if you're not really clear on how to use it ?
ikonia, I used oracle in windows, I can start it from services. but I do not know how to start with it in ubuntu. thats why I want to learn the installation and usage
Can I make a partition on an already formatted NTFS HDD?
if I sudo apt-get install python-webpy <-- this will only work on python 2.x but i want it to install for python 3.x, how do i do that? thanks
phanindra: can I suggest using RHEL/Centos for this, as you're going to be fighting against some "core" problems, so until you are happy enough to understand them and switch back to ubuntu, using a supported platform maybe a wiser move
please, could someone help me with my broadcom wireless driver?
phanindra: the error you've ignored (instructed by the website) about the client libraries, isn't good
ikonia, yeah. you are right. but I donot want to change my os now. So i am trying to install in ubuntu
hi there, anyone can help me with Pidgin, with a short q?
phanindra: it's up to you, but that install routine looks a mess/flawed
YokoBR: what does lspci say? (just the line with you wirelesscard info)
ikonia, can I ask you,how could you figure out that that guide is wrong?
phanindra: few things stick out straight away, like creating the init directories, which ubuntu won't use,
phanindra: then reading some of the things about the failing components.....
i user Ubuntu 12.10 and in Pidgin / Buddy List i see their ID, not thei nicknames. Can smw help ?! Thanks!
ikonia, ok thanks for your time.
Hi! I asked this a few days ago, but got no answer. Are problems with 12.10 and VMware a known issue? Worth opening a bug? Is there already one?
What other support channels are there?

MrStein: that will tell you if it's known
ikonia: no ,really? ;)
thanks
MrStein: well, if it's that obvsiouy, why are you asking
hi.  i'm having trouble getting the appmenu / global menus to work.
Thank ubottu
IdleOne, i've already tried that

YokoBR: when you use backtrack, pls use the backtrack support.
i believe i have the necessary packages installed [ http://dpaste.com/828856/ ], but the menus are still within individual windows.
and yeah if you are using backtrack ask the backtrack people

im not going to argue with you as you may be right... however every page i have read and every video i watch explains that con currency = none  you have to change it to shell

How do I format a pendrive in ubuntu that will also work with windows and can contain 5 GB files?

 Question for anyone familiar with quotas and SFTP, do you know how to make it so that when a user displays the free space, the see only the amount free from the quote and not the entire disk when connecting via SFTP?
ikonia: starup is a singlethreaede app (a process, name-it-waht-you will)  That change would make it run processes concurrently.
Spudster: I don't think that will work
ikonia: Ok, thanks
MrStein: the init process is multithreaded, but it just runs one script at once, I don't see how that's core related
Spudster: ProFTP handles it with the mod_quota module

Is that really the case, no GT640 support ? - its ok for the timebeing as i'm just after lots of screenspace .. but i'd like to know if it can handle this card
more cores can run more thread at the same time. It is obvious, if you ask me. (but you don't... ;)

Spudster: I guess it depends what ftp server you are using...
ikonia, ghostconn is pointing at "sudo gedit /etc/init.d/rc " and change CONCURRENCY=none  to CONCURRENCY=shell , but this answer http://askubuntu.com/questions/83569/does-the-concurrency-shell-tweak-work-in-11-10 clears that after 8.04 upstart scripts handle multi-core just fine

one CPU is dynamically chosen to be the bootstrap processor (BSP) that runs all of the BIOS and kernel initialization code. This tweak enables the other cores to be activated during the boot process
lonewulf85:  one way would be to use vbox and a minimal disrto to mount the wubi save file..  or some other vm.. not sure of any way windows can read a ext2/3/4 filesystem from a file.
ghostconn: no, it's not

ikonia: he just used the phrase "multi core" instead of multi-thread/multi-process/multi-task/whatever-is-the-current-buzzword
MrStein: yeah, multi-core was a bad word in that example
dr_willis thanks I will try that
ghostconn: no it does not.
it's just executing init scripts at once, which upstart already does depending on dependencies
im sorry
ghostconn: no need to apologise
the group is specified on the directory as a www-data group which only has read and execute permissions, the user is not a member of that group though
dr_willis: Is there not an ext2/3/4 file explore that could work or is that only if the Linux system is on a separate partition?
lonewulf85:  not noticed that it could do it from a file.. but ive not looked into such tools in ages.
hikenboot: "linux authentication"? what's that? isn't that pam?
ikonia, I would like to install centos in a virtual box and try installing oracle in that, do you think it may work?
i did not realize that ubuntu no longe uses that approach.. its weird tho because every guide i found and there is alllllot lol.. points out that this is only possible with versions of ubuntu 12 and up
phanindra: yeah, it may be a bit slow but fine
dr_willis: Okay thanks for the help. :)
ghostconn: you can't trust the internet, anyone can write a web page
true enough
grimeton, no pam is not the one specified...apparently it makes a difference with this problem there two separate things aparently oh sorry my mistake lunix not pam ...sorry again for the mistake
hikenboot: it's proftpd you're using?
no its pureftp should i switch
quit
hikenboot: no, i just want to knowe, to check how the ftpd works
my bad i meant to have the /
ikonia, thank you. i just wanted to see and if it works. cent os doesnt have as much support as ubuntu has. I donot want to get into problems if I struck some where. so I am thinking of installing oracle in cent os using virtual box
can ubuntu unity support different wallpaper per monitor or per desktops
phanindra: centos has just as much support
im just curious tho by changing CONCURRENCY=none  to CONCURRENCY=shell? what would that do
hikenboot: are you using so called "virtual users" ?
ghostconn: nothing
A question I hope is not off-topic: Is there a simple how-to-get-started to set up a RAID config on an Ubuntu system? Thanks.
ghostconn: I'd advise you to leave it alone
ok.. ill leave it thanks for you're help ikonia you really do know you're stuff
:)
I am by no means a linux expert but I don't understand whats going on ...grimeton when I specified pam as the authentication it appeared it was using virtual users...but since i changed it over the field is now disabled
ikonia, is it? so if I change my os, I am most likely to not to get into much troubles right?
gmachine_24: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Raid
phanindra: you'll get into as much trouble as you can, if you break things in ubuntu, you'll break things in centos
oups...
grimeton, before the virtual user was part of the problem, but unless its still using it but not letting me set it I don't think it is anymore
MonkeyDust: thanks ;)
hikenboot: to me it looks like pure ftp is doing everything on it's own, without using the system's authentication stuff at all
hikenboot: i'm just reading the docs
ikonia, if I have some trouble I can ask in this IRC and there are many people to help here. I leant a lot of things through this IRC. so I was just asking. I donot want to debate with you. I am just giving my view
ok in that case maybe i sue go over to the othe demon you suggested
there is an option called "usepam" in pureftp
as I recall
phanindra: #centos is just as good,
s/sur/should/
thank you. the wiki.ubuntu.com/Raid is based on Ubuntu 5.10 . . . or so it seems. I will check out the other references. Thank you MonkeyDust
hikenboot: the question is: what are you trying todo with it?
ikonia, thank you....
altho one problem i do have im running two cpu's on my computer and my system seems to be using cpu1 more then the other??   i have a evega sr2 motherboard with two xeon x5650's any ideas?
ok this is really dumb but a data migration plugin for wordpress that handls all data, plugins, and db migration requires it to use ftp (why its not ssh I can only guess is because wordpress also works on windows) so it has to transfer the data over ftp
gmachine_24: the mdamd config does not change much from 5.10 to 12.10 I guess...
anyone managed to install fuse-exfat on ARM architecture ?
ghostconn: it's just smp managing it
ghostconn: don't worry about it, it's being efficient
hikenboot: so you need to run a ftp server that offers access to that web where the wordpress stuff is in?
gmachine_24: at least my mdadm softraid still does the job since 6 years
so without giving 777 permissions to my whole install I am just trying to give ftpuser the permissions by assigning it to the owners group
lix, I thought perhaps that is so. However, my knowledge is such that ..... I don't know.
grimeton, yes exactly and stupidly as it is
gmachine_24: sure. no worries :)
hikenboot: the problem is: the ftp daemon is not running as that user - check as which user it is running/started
lix, can I send you a question directly?
ikonia - ok I jsut thought it was odd that one cpu would idle at 1-5% and the other reads 0 until I open up any intensive apps
gmachine_24: sure. I'll give my best to answer it
ghostconn: no, that's good
ah i see what your saying its acting as a proxy and that proxy user doesnt have authentication so if i set the deamon to run as that user i should be all set?
hikenboot: that's the basic idea behind it
good :)
or should i make that deamon user a member of the group with permissions
hikenboot: that doesn't matter, as long as the daemon later runs as a user that has access to those files
ok then i think the second one will work better. i have to run but I thank you a thousand times for your help with this crazy problem caused by a dumb plugin....
hikenboot: you're welcome
i do have one more thing lmao... I have 3 hd 7770's. I only installed the CCC via additional drivers. But im pretty sure that only one card is rendering
is there any way of checking this?
ghostconn: ccc ?
Catalyst Control Centre
how do i correctly start a new bash shell as a different user (want all settings and env stuff to be correct for new user) ?
ghostconn: I have no idea if they support multiple cards like that
spacebarbarian: su - NEWUSER
jrib, thats what I tried but it doesnt exec bashrc or anything
how do i check if there is an hdmi cable plugged into the hdmi port
Well i know the cards are crossfire ready.. my driver in windows is much different  as I have an option in CCC for crossfirex
spacebarbarian: it executes your ~/.profile
ghostconn: the windows drivers don't have much relevence to the linux capabilities
i don't have an option in ubuntu's version of the driver
spacebarbarian: it's a login shell
jrib, then i tried sudo -H -u user bash --login, which does exec bashrc and profile but home isnt initialized correctly im still in current home
so just wondering if there was a 'correct' way to do it i guess the sudo method works fine
do anyone know how to properly crossfire ati cards? or will the system automatically run them in crossfire
ghostconn: check if it's supported
oh ok, but still i want to be basically in an identical environment as if i logged in via gnome and started a term with that user's account
I CAN SMELL BLOATWARE IN HERE.
spacebarbarian: what's different exactly?
my system is running fine Im just worried because the cards are being powered up but 2 of my video cards are just sitting there doing nothing lol... would this affect them in any way
jrib: what's the difference between sudo -i -u USER and sudo login -f USER?
IT SMELLS LIKE A BLOATED SOFTWARE TO ME IN HERE!
IT SMELLS LIKE A BLOATED SOFTWARE TO ME IN HERE!
aaast: do you have an actual support question?
jrib, nevermind you are right the problem was that .profile was empty and not running bashrc x.x
Random832: well in one you are running another command "login" using sudo.  Whether the result is the same or not, I cannot tell you
spacebarbarian: ok, yes the default .profile will source .bashrc (you can find a copy in /etc/skel/.profile)
.bash_profile isn't it?
oh ok that sounds better than copying my own there
Random832: not by default
oh
for some reason i thought .profile was a csh thing, but that's .login
Random832: bash will also use .bash_profile if it exists (iirc it will actually prefer it to .profile in that case)
how does this shit work?
just got ubuntu
but seriously....
what can i do with ubuntu
eldiablo: do whatever you want?
computers are such a inflexiable tool... ;)
what are some cool apps i can download
and my tor doesnt work
so i need that fixed
asap
why do you need tor... and theres dozens of games out and other apps in the repios.. depends on your needs
well i got bored looking through all of them
so i was just looking for recommendations
im a very busy person
please dont waste my time
given the lack of details you have given us...  we have no idea what you are looking for.
eldiablo: just download the top-downloads.
you seem to be a very busy man, if you are that bored, btw :/
ikonia - can you recommend anything better then LMMS for producing ? something along the lines of Fl Studio 10 or Ableton?   I have a ableton live controller which is midi
basically hacker tools, anonymous email stuff like that
ghostconn: audio production on linux (in my personal view) is unacceptable, os I do not recommend anything
yea buy a mac ghostconn
ya bum
eldiablo: if you are just trolling go back to the windows guys :/
would it be possible to install osx on a amd system I have my old computer i can use however I can't surrender my linux on my good pc
ghostconn, yes you can dual boot it
eldiablo - a friend of mine told me it is hard to get osx working with a amd cpu any thoughts
eldiablo this is not a place to exchange hacking ideas
eldiablo: send me your credit card information and we'll send you the info how to become a real hacker!
:-D
I have a amd phenom 550 and a 7770 i can use
lix, priceless
ghostconn: ask the osx support if that is possible. i dont see a ubuntu support issue with that
eldiablo, yes, and please include picures of your underage children
enough
this is unacceptable for this channel
the topic is ubuntu support - please keep to that topic
ikonia, true. thank you.
gmachine_24, go suck a dick
how do i join the osx channel
how do i check if there is an hdmi cable plugged into the hdmi port
ikonia, you too
*sigh*
grkblood, do you know where the hdmi port is?
lol

i see lot of "system" percentage usage
say 70
user usage is about 15/
how i can see where those 70% go to ?
ikonia: why did you kick him? - I didnt get his credit card info yet! ;)
nmmm: use " top"  in the command line
yes
Cpu(s): 23.5%us, 70.9%sy,  0.0%ni,  3.4%id,  0.0%wa,  0.0%hi,  2.2%si,  0.0%st
70.9% system
nmmm: you can also sort the top list by process, cpu, mem whatever
can someone give me a link to a osx channel
gmachine_24: come on, you've been asked to use alis bot

hmm.. isent stage1 used by grub1 not grub2?
hi i cannot connect to an external drive on a win7 machine
scottyg_, ##windows
scottyg_:  you a external drive thats 'shared' on a windows machine?
anyone have any ideas
i am trying to use samba, but i hear it is buggier than a polish girl's panties
Windows doesn't read ext
I am getting the following in my error log when a user is trying to print over the internet to my computer.  http://pastebin.com/nifFwa52.  Any ideas on what is wrong?
dr willis....yes it is shared as external1T
scottyg_:  ive seen very few issues with samba, comapred to windows version of it....
i can see it from any windows box effortlessly
scottyg_: works great for me (file sharing)
how are you trying to connect to it? can the linux box ping the windows box. does findsmb, or smbtree show the box and shares...
ive had windows boxs not see each others shares.. then the linux box does. ;)
that is good to here.  i wonder what i am doing wrong as i followed the tutorials to the LETTER
http://www.7tutorials.com/accessing-shared-partitions-ubuntu-windows-7
how do i do a find smb?
i think the tutorial was all wrong
scottyg_: try accessing your linux shares from windows box by typing \\x.x.x.xxx your linux box ip
this cannot be as complex as it seems
ohhh yes....that is effortless!
but seing the windows shares seems impossible
Hey, is ther eanyone active who might be able to help with a few issues i'm experiencing?
how do i do a find smb
its strange how its usualy  easier to use a cloud service to share data between 2  machines next to eachother
i have some problems. df -h reports 75% use, but when i try to do some stuff (like apt-get update) it says "No space left on device"
where can i find accurate information as to how to see and create a mapped drive of a shared windows drive?
cloud and usb sticks
where can i find accurate information as to how to see and create a mapped drive of a shared windows drive?
RandomPixels, for a start, try clearing your cache:  sudo apt-get clean
scottyg_: try in nautilus(file manager) -> go -> location -> smb://x.x.x.x
scottyg_: type your windows box ip in there
i followed the tutorials to the letter but they all do not work....does anyone know how to use samba to add a windows drive to an ubuntu machine?
network shares appear at ~/.gvfs or something?
ok stalker i will try it
 ~/Desktop/.gvfs
helow
however since i have a dynamic ip, that will only work once
does anyone know how i can access my shared drive off of a dynamic ip windows box?  i am in the same work group!
Hey guys. I'm trying to get samba shares working with a guest account but not having any luck at all. My smb.conf is this... http://paste.ubuntu.com/1348918/

scottyg_: make your network static

_Emmanuel, its not "spamming" if you ask and wait a bit
_Emmanuel, we don't encourage you to use privmsg as a way of solving issues.
scottyg_: it is something probably with zeroconf, avahi, windows or whatever
_Emmanuel: what is the problem?
_Emmanuel try to use the paste url if it large text

does anyone here know how to set up a share on windows from an ubuntu machine?
i will be delighted to post my smb.conf!!!
can anyone help me with grub
too many people just tell me it wont work.
i cant get my computer to load grub
scottyg_: do you run windows 7?
the grub rescue> prompt comes up and says something like invalid partition
needhelp: can you boot from live cd?
yeh im in a live cd right now
i am trying to access a SHARED DRIVE from a WINDOWS 7 box that has a DYNAMIC ip address from a ubuntu 12 box
well live usb
Ok i was informed i shouldn't use privmsg so here's whatsup: When i boot from Ubuntu occassionally it loads and i can't see any icons, it looks like windows in safe mode basically with a bare desktop. I believe i have an nvidia graphics card if that helps.

hi
hi estragon
scottyg_: i'm using static ips on my net just because of that. but since then never had any issue.
I just updated my system (12.04, just apt-get update && dist-upgrade) and now my ubuntu does not see my windows partition anymore
does anyone know how to configure samba to see a windows 7 shared drive?
nothing on /media
estragon i have some problem
any idea on how to check if it's still present ? And should I mount it manually ?
that is not an option for me stalker
does anyone know how to configure samba to see a windows 7 shared drive?
needhelp: sry i'm not using grub 1.99
i installed grub on the live cd and tried     grub> find /boot/grub/stage1 and it said cant find
stalker follow the tutorial i posted...i think it is a joke myself
gparted sees it as /dev/sda2
i dont think the version matters
does anyone know how to configure samba to see a windows 7 shared drive?
its grub 2
scottyg_: i remember that it was something with network discovery of windows that is not consistant or something. i don't remember really but i think that it was something with something to do with what machine is booting first.
scottyg_: try booting windows after linux or the opposite and ofcourse turn windows network discovery on
scottyg_: turn off your firewalls and go step by step from there
I TRIED THAT STILL NO MOUNT POINT

try #ubuntu scottyg_ its probably something to do with it
oomlord: by installing open-ssh server the installation takes car of ssh being enabled at startup
scottyg_ you have to in stall smbclient
I haven't seen any answers on this on the web but any one got a link or can tell me why Ubuntu 12.10 has so many issues on a Dell Latitude E6400? I tried several installs and just kept getting errors after errors, problems during shutdown and startup...I had to put 12.04 back on and that works fine

hey guys, my notebook has hybrid gpus, hd 4200 integrated and hd 6310 as discrete gpu... wich driver do i install?
do i install the driver for 4200 or 6310?]
JeffBauer_: both......
if you want both cards to work you install both drivers + whatever is needed to use the hybrid functionality
if all of that is available ofc
you can also deactivate one of the gpus in bios and only install drivers for and use one of them

hi
i'm on ubuntu 12.04
how do i extract a .exe file
how can i upgrade my grub to the latest version(that used in 12.10)?!?!?!
ghostconn, if it's a self-extracting zip: unzip. If it's a regular .exe: err... what?
ubuntu-fan001, why would you want that?
no it's a driver for windows xp i need the .inf file
same version :)
any ideas?
ghostconn, boot windows, install driver, copy .inf and .sys file across to ubuntu
Seveas, but it's look different
ubuntu-fan001, that's not grub that looks different but the bootsplash
Seveas : thanks
(which looks the same to me between 12.04 and 12.10)
There is little difference. The only thing I noticed was lack of version behind Ubuntu
question, can only root lower a process's niceness?
Seveas, so how can i upgrade my bootspalsh
??
Is there anything specific we are discussing since I just joined?
Hi
ubottu, so there is different in grub2 in version 12.04 and 12.10
hi
ubuntu-fan001, not anything relevant. I don't see why you would upgrade...
Difference is most likely internal more than anything
does lubuntu support pdf reading ??
meeedo, sure, install xpdf or evince and you can read any pdf you want
But I mean Arabic pdf files .. Do it support adobe reader ??
I cant seem to keep my wireless internet connection.  I have a wireless USB adapter.
Seveas, i had trouble with upgrading my ubuntu 12.10 from 12.04

ubuntu-fan: what was the problem?
meeedo, arabic pdf files aren't special, evince can read them
Windows installer for Ubuntu Desktop, I don't know why it's not working with me? any advice ?
Question:     I was about to install ubuntu on my macbook and wipe OSX when I read that I should partition it, leaving a small amount of space for OSX so that I can perform firmware updates in the future, as they are OSX specific. Is this true, and if so, how important are they?
i had /boot swap / and /home partiotion separat
Guest97240, meeedo: english only in here please
I cant seem to keep my wireless internet connection.  I have a wireless USB adapter.
Thanks alot Seveas
OK sorry about that
and i had dual boot with window7
tron__: there may be a compatibility issue with the driver
I have an ASUS USB13N.  It says linux support
meedo t2dr tklmny khas?
using it now. but get cut off after a few mins
in the boot option i choosed the /boot partition
what is a compatibility issue?
my gvfs mounts are getting timeouts, is there some service I can restart to fix that?
and when i upgrade it with
tron__: it is an issue where it doesn't work properly with certain hardware
it was giving me the grub4dos or somthing likethat
for some reason when i enter lspci my usb wireless dont show up? but it works with windows
and didnt boot
ghostconn: lsusb
Does anyone know how to get the Pinguy OS GNOME mods ported over to Ubuntu?
12.10 of course...
llutz : thank you
llutz: it said no firmware?
tron_: it is probably something to do with the built in driver. There are a couple terminal commands I can give you that may help.
ghostconn: what chipset?
i beleive it's a atheros... im not quite sure it's a netgear wpn111 wireless usb
hey
I just installed Precise Pangolin and my display driver seem to be gone
Seveas, did u get my pm
I can't set the resolution to 1920x1080
Do you have any idea what I could ddo?
ubuntu-fan001, no
I have only 2 different resolutions: 800x600 and 1024x768 - which is very awkward.
install Additional Drivers if its not already installed, use that to install the proprietary driver?
Seveas, i had /boot swap / and /home partiotion separat
spobat, check the "restricted drivers" , or additional drivers  with alt+F2
exit
@ spobat
Seveas, and i had dual boot with window7
llutz : how would i find out what firmware it uses?
ok before when you wanted to run a program under wine, you had a menu button that said wine that opened to the wine program menu, how do you get there with 12.04?
okay
Seveas, in the boot option i choosed the /boot partition
Seveas, and when i upgrade it with
Seveas, and didnt boot
Does anyone know where I post the artwork I made?
Seveas, it was giving me the grub4dos or somthing likethat
ghostconn: 1st find out what chipset it has
ubuntu-fan001,  if your on the system with a live disk, run this command: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:yannubuntu/boot-repair && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install -y boot-repair && boot-repair
ubuntu-fan001, I don't know what you did, but that doesn't sound like the ubuntu upgrade process to me
hellooo
wow a lot of ppl here
hello Miklaus
thank you, problem solved! :D
XRS1, i did that too
while the rest of IRC fades into history, #Ubuntu remains
but the boot repair can not find my /boot partition
ghostconn: http://blog.radevic.com/2012/02/how-to-install-13855f01-netgear-wpn111.html
I would like to have help for my problem u.u
XRS1, but the boot repair can not find my /boot partition
id say backup your data and do a clean install
Ok
Well, I do my first installation of lubuntu o.s
THANK YOU!!!!  :)
I found a problem for open browser like 40 secs
ghostconn: read the last comment before being too enthusiastic
for open a browser
does anybody know if its possible to set up ubuntu server to boot from a pendrive to ram like freenas does?
I have a pentium 4 with 512 mb ram
brunost, yeah, that's possiblt
brunost,  yes
Miklaus, with a computer that old you might want to try something lighter like xubuntu
really? lubuntu isn't more light?
havent tried it lately but last i did, xubuntu was faster
XRS1, after that i did the installing again and choose the sda for the boot not thee /boot partition
Miklaus, yeah lubuntu is light yoo
Seveas: XRS1: thanks, planning to set up a fileserver and freenas seemed like the best solution regarding zfs support, but aparently the zfs ppa for ubuntu works, and well... bsd is a massive step up :P
XRS1, and it's ok
ubuntu-fan001,  by clean install i mean you shouold delete all the linux partitions and start over.  you should only have a windows, a reserved, a "/" and a swap partition
ok guys thx a lot
but the problem is that now when i turn on the system i see the grub menu
XRS1, but the problem is that now when i turn on the system i see the grub menu
XRS1, not the windows menu
the normal countdown
?
XRS1, me?
yeah thats normal grub is supposed to boot b4 the windows bootloader
you are dual booting so you cant skip grub otherwise there is no point in having the other OS, you wont be able to boot from it if you arent presented with the option
XRS1, that is the case i set it to see the windows menu with the linux inside it by the easybcd
append linux to the windows bootloader? try ##windows or ##windows-server
XRS1, why #windows they dont know anything about this
XRS1, i dont have trouble with my windows
and we dont support the windows boot loader (unless i am not properly understanding what you are trying to acccomplish)
i have trouble with my linux booting
yes we are
any ideas why i can ssh with public key authentication but scp fails?
when u creat separate partition for /boot
my understand is that when you turn on the computer, grub pops up asking if you want ubuntu, other linux, or windows correct?
oh
and u choose the option for booting from that partition
for ex sda6
u dosent hurt the mbr
you need to install the boot loader onto the boot drive (usually sda) grub is supposed to map it all out and know where /boot is
spendythrift: in what way does it fail? what are the errors?
ok iknow
whats a good app for monitoring network traffic? bandwidth etc i know there is a program that has a webpage interface as well
but this is different
and when its start the machin
u dont see the grub or ubuntu
it just go for the normal boot to windows
im out of ideas. sorry. boot repair didnt update it correctly and ubiquity doesnt seem to be doing its job
Can anyone show me a list of wireless adaptors that work with ubuntu WITHOUT ndsiwraper?
guntbert: the authentication fails and it rolls back to key-board interactive but user password doesn't work
u have to install the easybcd in windows
and define the grub there
ok thanx
spendythrift: did you already disable keyboard-interactive?
seem to be i never get my answer here
and ofcourse my english is bad
what is this easybcd thing?
ciao a tutti
and why are you installing in windows?
guntbert: i did not
if you install it in windows it sounds like a windows app you launch from the start menu or cmd
its nice and easy to use program for editing the boot option for windows
ah
yes
it is
spendythrift: hmm, are you certain that you try to acces the same host in both cases?
try to google dual booting windows and ubuntu
list
um for what purpose? you dont need special software to dual boot with windows
guntbert: i think my syntax is correct
or u'll find usefull link in linuxbsdos.com
yes i have
spendythrift: I was not talking about syntax - one common error is a wrong IP address
hey guys! do you know how to activate the subwoofer in a Dell?
i want grub to be seperate from my mbr
"ubuntu-fan001> yes i have"  I don't understand
oh i see
guntbert: ah, yes I am certain the IP address's are correct.  I'm trying to run the command locally instead of over ssh now to see if that fixes it
XRS1, anyway thanx for the time
how do I fix a GRUB? do I have to chroot to a partition and reinstall it?
spendythrift: and start scp with -v
smj, ubuntu-fan001> yes i have
oops
smj, sudo add-apt-repository ppa:yannubuntu/boot-repair && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install -y boot-repair && boot-repair
run that command from a Live CD / USB on the computer and that should fix it
ok so i cracked open my usb wifi and found out its a atheros AR5523A-001
guntbert: it looks like roaming not allowed by server is where my problems start
I'm not going to make a CD or buy an USB stick
can't I just run it on this PC?
spendythrift: what has ssh/scp to do with roaming?
k then yes; chroot and install then update
i have a netgear wpn111 usb wifi adaptor thats shows no firmware with the lstusb command... I found out that it uses a Atheros AR5523A-001 chipset how can i install this
list
ghostconn: have you read the link i sent you?
alright guys. I'm having samba issues. I can't get anonymous access working to save my life. My smb.conf is here  http://paste.ubuntu.com/1349173/ . Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!!
list
ciao a tutti
llutz yes i did and i followed that tutorial with no luck
guntbert: idk, but it says roaming not allowed by server then a ssh2_msg_service_request and accept happens and it rolls back to keyboard-interactive authentication
i read the last comment to just thought knowing the exact chipset might help me
spendythrift: in that case I suggest you have a look into the server logs - thats the first time I hear of that
nashant_,  is this share on a windows or linux machine? who has ownership of the shared folder?
ghostconn: what is the output of "ls -l /lib/firmware /uath*"
Is there a way I can access a Windows 7 Homegroup?
XRS1: it's a linux machine, and user ant has ownership
guntbert: i'll take a look...thanks for your help!
spendythrift: nothing accomplished so far :-))  Good luck!
llutz : http://pastebin.com/NT7mSz2j
mspencer,  yes you can creatre a link to a shared folder on your desktop by right click -> create link -> use this as the address schema; smb://HOSTNAME/Directory/
Hey guys, can u tell me where can I get the official Ubuntu 'release' logos? I mean the specific logo of Precise Pangolin, Quantal Quetzal.. etc. I found some ones in spreadubuntu.org but these aren't official and some has non-commercial use license..
So... DocumentViewer/b 12
er
i just did a fresh install of 12.10 - what do u i need for bumblebee
ghostconn: sry my bad, there shouldn't have been a space.   lsusb still says "no firmware"?
XRS1: In the past when I've tried to access files on a Windows 7 Homegroup (not a Vista Workgroup), I'm unable to access them.
pablord: check that wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork link
XRS1: Also, if I set Windows to use user name & password to access files, Ubuntu doesn't let me access a share without a password set. Can this be done?
hi
Hey, if I save a file as ~/.XCompose it should work as my custom Compose key settings, right?
llutz : yes it still states that there is no firmware
jrib, already did that, but there's no link to any logo =[
I am trying to use an AE2500 usb wifi dongle (which worked in 12.04) on ubuntu 12.10.
ant_,  where is the share located?
pablord: are you sure?
mspencer,  it will pop up asking for a password
yes (how do I mention to you here in xchat?)
pablord: just write "jr" then hit tab a few times to complete my nick.  On that wiki page it links to: http://design.ubuntu.com/assets/ubuntu-logo and http://design.ubuntu.com/downloads?search=logo&submit=
XRS1: I know it does, but I don't have one set on Windows, and it won't let me leave it blank (it just keeps popping up again).
ghostconn: "sudo modprobe ar5523"
Hello folks. I have Kubuntu here and just installed the ubuntu-desktop package - I'd like to try UNITY a bit. Question: how do I actually... run it?
me sees lots of logos there
I am trying to use an AE2500 usb wifi dongle (which worked in 12.04) on ubuntu 12.10. however after some inspection. it seems that the ndiswrapper module isnt loaded/presnent (from a ndiswrapper-v command) I have the utils and common packages installed. I thought ubuntu came with ndiswrapper install. how would I go about rectifying this?
XRS1: where is it located? On the ubuntu machine at /storage/Media.
mspencer,  you need to configure your shareing options in the windows network center
 llutz : nothing came up using this command
XRS1: permissions are 777
jrib, yes but these are the Ubuntu logo, nor the "release" logo, like this: http://spreadubuntu.org/en/material/poster/ubuntu-1304-animal-logo
well heck id check all the samba dependencies and maybe try reinstalling them
ghostconn: pastebin "dmesg | grep -i firmw" please
pablord: I've never seen that before...
XRS1: I've set up user name/password sharing, but the account doesn't have a password set.
pablord: my guess is those are not official
XRS1: Is there any way to access the account's files without having to set a password?
llutz :  http://pastebin.com/peWD1Pug
then remove password protected sharing or add a password (like you should)
AAAAAAAA
sry
XRS1: Is this a bug in Ubuntu, forcing a password to be entered when there isn't one?
Guys how do I switch from KDE to Unity?
hello, can someone pls help me with my wireless adapter under 12.04?
mijansky, wazzup?
deambox: Log out of your session, then select "Ubuntu" in the session options
ghostconn: unplug/replug the usb-device and pastebin "dmesg | tail -25" please
dreambox,  if you have unity installed, log out and change the session type to Unity, if unity is not installed you can download with Ubuntu Software Center
by the way topic about switch Unity to KDE i have a trouble after switched from Xubuntu to XFCE
XRS1: Okay, thanks for the help!
nashant_ you have to add (guest ok = yes) to the share that you want to access it anonymously
delta: xubuntu uses xfce though...?
mspencer,  no this you you enabling password prtected sharing, then not setting a password. you need to either set a password, or turn off password protected sharing in windows network center
but on login screen you can choose
jrib, well, they use in summits, the installation splash screen (wich shows "What's new") and T-Shirts in store.. Maybe there is some .svg or .png in ubuntu artwork mailing list.. But very thks for the attention!
DarKMode: I've tried that. No luck
XFCE or Xubuntu (I don't know if it's any differences)
llutz : http://pastebin.com/ff9mWy6g
hey guys
hi
nashant_ idid you restarted the service ?
whats the hardriver monitoring S.M.A.R.T program called
hardrive*
DarKMode: yup. after every change
seatools :P
ghostconn: sudo modprobe -r ndiswrapper && sudo modprobe ar5223
jrib, so on login screen you can choose XFCE or Xubuntu (if it's any differences I dont know) but anyway I have big black panel and any effects;/
ghostconn: sudo modprobe -r ndiswrapper && sudo modprobe ar5523            sorry
delta: regardless of which you choose?
delta: If Xubuntu works, just stick with it. XFCE is the same desktop, but without some of the Ubuntu integration tweaks done in Xubuntu
llutz is that two or 3 commands
XRS1: Okay.
jrib,  I've choosen XFCE and than loged out and Xubuntu but it's doesnt matter. Now it's the same situation on both
ghostconn: "sudo modprobe -r ndiswrapper && sudo modprobe ar5523 "           one line, 2 commands
delta: create a new user and see if it persists
jlangvand, maybe. Now i've a problem with it
wait a minute:)
hi
nashant_ remove valid users = ant, nobody and force user = Nobody keep just guest ok =  yes
llutz: nothing happens with this command sudo modprobe -r ndiswrapper
so ubuntu12.10 doesn't support the Geforce GT640 ?  ... it will display multiple screens fine but i'm having trouble with compiz
ghostconn: "no output = no error = fine"
Hi
jrib, on new user there is no this black panel but still without effects
mspencer,  also dont enable parental controls if you dont have a password set. your computer wont like you
hey what is remote login in 12.10
and how does it work?
llutz : so you're telling me that its working
DarKMode: Nope, still no joy
delta: so what did you change on the broken user's account just before this started happening?
ghostconn: did you run " sudo modprobe ar5523 "?
nothing
llutz : yes i did run that command and nothing happend
I need to have a dual boo in my PC, after install Fedora 17 i lost w7 boot and i dont have cd to repair
only logged out than reebot
ghostconn:  pastebin "dmesg | tail -25 ; iwconfig" again please
is it just compiz that doesn't work:  I do appear to get 3d acceleration working ... just not desktop effectrs
so
no one answers my question :/
just want to monitor the hardrive
I want to download bulk manga, but there is no rules for the address of pictures

Hello
I want to install a windows boot in may pc
ghostconn: bad luck... last idea: try to find a 64bit windows-driver and use ndiswrapper
LOL that was more then likely the problem the whole time or could it be that i have a 32bit or 64bit version of ndiswrapper
llutz : every driver i find is .exe is there a way to extract the .inf file out
ghostconn: " ndiswrapper (check_nt_hdr:141): kernel is 64-bit, but Windows driver is not 64-bit;bad magic: 010B"  <- from your dmesg.
ghostconn: aren't those exe just selfextracting zips? unzip it
i need help networking:(
does anyone know how to map a shared win 7 drive from ubuntu?

hy i hava ubuntu server installation on my pandaboard(omap4) i got all i2c devices but i have a incompleate i2c-dev.h on /usr/include/linux/i2c-dev.h the i2c_smbus_xxx functions are not described in there?
Hi
I setup a firewall is it important to setup a tcp wrappers. Is it more secure than firewall?
howdy, I am trying to playback videos on youtube but I keep getting a message to install flash, the latest version, but i already have it. WTF?!?
Nuub question. I am trying to do an ntfc parition on Ubuntu 12.1 using Gpart.  Its not allowing me to partition any of the current ones because they are all mounted.
datacide: restart firefox?
gordonjcp, Done that several times
Do i need to do it from grub?
gordonjcp, even rebooted the machine
hi, y wireless card is hardware blocked. i tried rfkill unblock all and rfkill unblock 0 (0 is the identifier of the wlan0) i can see wlan0 wit iwconfig i don't see it with ifconfig. lspci and pshw show the network card. network manager says "wireless is disabled by hardware switch". i have a wireless button, but it only generates unkonw key entries in demsg. any ideas?
How do I remove overlay scrollbars and restore sane scrollbars?
hamo26: Unmount them if there is a option.
thelinux: I dont have that option it is grayed out
kahrytan: which ubuntu version?
datacide: hm, no idea then
thelinux: I think it may be because they are currently mounted already
trism lastest
i already tried to remove/instert network modules and rebooting. i also checked the biso but i can only set the wifi to disabled or last state :(
maybe youtube is being the prick
user__: I knew a user who had similliar problem, did you install drivers?
kahrytan: gsettings set com.canonical.desktop.interface scrollbar-mode normal
"You need to upgrade your Adobe Flash Player to watch this video. "
kahrytan: you'll have to restart any running apps to see the change
@datacide you checked add-on settings?
maxbit, Such as?
user__: Go to dash, type software sources, additional drivers tab and install driver for your card. I know a person who had this problem.
thelinux, jockey does not find anything to be installed in particular. also the wireless card gets recognized by iwconfig, lspci and hwlist. what would you recommend me to check?
thelinux: Do you have any suggestions?
check under Tools -> Extra if flash is listet there and is activated
thelinux, i am currently under xfce (laptop is to weak - i am refurbishing it to give it away)
hamo26: Why don't you try with default partitioner on ubuntu.
thelinux, are you refering to the jockey program that finds divers?
user__: Yes.
thelinux, i already try jockey
thelinux: Where is that?
trism,  thanks. I removed the package responsible  for global menu as well.  Hover effects of both overlay and menu are annoying as hell.
user__: Who is manufacturer of your card and model of it?
thelinux, to be honest i don't think it is a driver problem. i think that i can not access the hardware switch - but let me look up the info for you
maxbit, Hmm, what else can i do
thelinux, lspic says Network controller: Ralink corp. RT2500 Wireless 802.11bg (rev 01)
maxbit, I added on other things for flash
hamo26: Oh sorry I misunderstood your problem. I know I had similliar problem, I wanted too to partition hard disk. Try this: http://www.brighthub.com/computing/linux/articles/13722.aspx
hm no other solutions may check grafic drivers i only had the problem some month ago that the plugin was detected as deprecated version so it was disabled
user__: I think it's the driver problem, since ussually for those cards you need driver, here it is: http://sourceforge.net/projects/rt2400/
user__: And this: http://rt2x00.serialmonkey.com/wiki/index.php/Main_Page
user__: And to compile and install it: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1683774
I don't want duplicates of files (i.e. When I type $ ls  I see test.py and test.py~).  How do I make it so that my system won't make the second file, test.py~  ??
thelinux, rt2400? my card is rt2500
Cache_Money: your editor makes those
hello. need help with conky. i had conky that working but now they cant start and freeze at Drawing Double Buffer. But if i have only conky cmd its work with default conky setting - but isnt work with conky -c MyFile cmd. Please help
user__: It will work with 2500, as it says on website.
has some one allready worked with the i2c-dev.h on ubuntu server?
jrib:  How would I turn those off.  I went into my vimrc file and include "set nobackup" but that hasn't fixed the problem.  Any idea?
thelinux, the first link you posted says As of 2009-04-23, this project is no longer under active development. Also it states The Legacy Ralink drivers have permanently been deprecated in favor of the in-kernel rt2x00 drivers. See http://rt2x00.serialmonkey.com for the rt2x00 project website.
Cache_Money: it's probably gedit
Let's say I had two command in a bash script file. One of them fails and returns an exit code that isn't 0. How would I prevent the next one from running in the bash script?
mcoffee: cmd1 && cmd2
user__: Sorry than. Than I guess it's other problem.
thelinux, i am reading the other links you posted - just wanted to inform you that the first one is outdates
thelinux, or are these links the first 3 results of a google search?
user__: Not really, I have actually downloaded that driver to see how it will compile, that link on forum helps since in this case isn't that easy.
user__: Like I said, I know a user who had almost the same problem.
thelinux, what was his problem?
jrib:  You were right.  Thanks!
user__: Card didn't work, even though system detected it and offered a download for driver.
llutz: thanks
thelinux, no offence... i think the driver is fine. the problem is the hardware block. i think the following happened: there was win xp in that laptop before. wifi was disabled by hw-switch. linux got installed. no way to use the hw-switch again (shitty implementation that is not pure haredware)
thelinux, i will still try your suggestion
user__: No don't since like that site says, there was implemented driver into a kernel. Could it be possible to turn on card over BIOS?
thelinux, in bios i only have the options "diabled" and "last state"  - very funny, huh?
user__, you cant get it with rfkill
escott, no
escott, i tried unblock in all variations
user__: I assume you tried rfkill unblock wifi
user__, then its buried in the acpi tables which are possibly only good for windows
thelinux, escott my last resourt would be to reinstall win, hw-enable the wifi, resintall ubuntu
have any of you ever mapped a win7 drive from ubuntu?
user__, yeah and keep it dual boot in case it ever goes out on you
thelinux, yes. i tired it
scottyg_: You're unpure, you use Windows, delete it than you will become pure.
escott, i don't have any win images :( - would have to organzie some :(
scottyg_: Only way I can forgive you. Sorry.
escott, i don't have the time for that since i can only work on that laptop until tomorow... argh!
that is so helpful thank you!!! i guess when one is ignorant, one blames other software...what a retard you are thelinux
win 7 is WAY better than any linux distro...you fag
smbfind: command not found
scottyg_, whats the question... i didnt understand
smbfind: command not found
sorry but no one will ever help me!
scottyg_, hey
scottyg_, what's the problem?
hey guys, would anyone be able to help me out with an issue on updating from 12.04 to 12.10?  I don't have enough room on / and don't really know what I can remove.
all i wanna do is map a win 7 drive with ubuntu
can I somehow download it to /home and install from there?
thanx rymate
scottyg_, click the option in the file manager
amt897, how big is your /?
escott, bigger than yours!
maybe you dont understand rymate
i have a shared drive on a win7 box
ohhh
so this is network sharing
i wanna map to it from my ubuntu box
escott: 7.54 Gib, 1.83 free
I have no clue how to do that
amt897, you need a larger /
scottyg_, Are you using nautilus?
scottyg_, you should be able to access it with smb://ipaddress in nautilus. if you want a regular mount you need to create a CIFS entry in fstab
reasem  yes i am sir but the gui method also fails
Maybe you could install an ftp server on the win7 box, and use nautilus to browse it via ftp
psusi:  what do you recommend?  I'm on an SSD dualbooting with Windows 7, and my Ubuntu partition is only 27.50 Gib
amt897, yeah thats just too small for most users
amt897, you just said it was just under 10gb
amt897: Delete Windows 7.
no, root is
amt897, i would merge your /home and / no reason for two partitions when its that small
actually 10gb should be about enough...
but i thought ubuntu was network capable!
thelinux, stop that
I think it is!
have any of you ever mapped a win7 drive from ubuntu?
true enough-- can you merge in gparted from desktop or do I need to boot into livecd?
presumably the latter
However I have never attempted to do it
i followed 27 tutorials and not one worked
git - ubuntu - are additional packages needed to get ssh sopport
amt897, you need to boot a livecd since it can't manipulate partitions that are in use
Can anyone help me setup LIRC with an Acer notebook?
amt897, there is no "merge" operation. you would have to copy files off to another disk. remove the /home, and then grow the /, and copy the files back
this is the buggiest os i have ever used
gotcha.  psusi and escott, thanks for the help.
escott: What? Sorry if I offended somebody or said something.
have any of you ever mapped a win7 drive from ubuntu?
thelinux, this is a support channel. if you dont have a question or dont want to help people please go away
scottyg_, have you tried google yet?
scottyg_, ^
scottyg_, it would help us if you told us what you have tried
meh
come to think of it, I haven't since Unity... not sure how to do it with Unity
yes as a matter of fact i have tried that for the last 5 weeks and have yet to find a solution.
the thing is
escott: Ofcourse I want to help poeple that's why I am here.
have any of you ever mapped a win7 drive from ubuntu?
ahh, of course
what HAVE you tried exactly
scottyg_, yes. stop asking that question, and start telling us exactly what you have tried
try giving us more details and stop repeating the same question every minute
escott.... i have tried samba, i tried mapping and i tried 27 tutorials on the web
scottyg_, , open a nautilus window ( folder ) and choose file -> connect to server
i need to know if anyoine has ever done this.  it may not be possible
scottyg_, and what were your results. did anything work, did anything give you error messages, what?
hello
psusi...it keeps asking me to reenter my credentials
scottyg_, and we have answered that question. it is possible to moutn CIFS on linux, its also possible to use things like SAMBA
scottyg_, then you aren't supplying the correct windows login
coe
escott. i get a myriad of error messages each one different from the last.  tell me what to do and i will paste the errors that follow!
noo
really psusi?  cuz the windows box nex to me is using the SAME credentials and gets right in:)
scottyg_, anything you tell us is more than the nothing you have told us so far
mount error(115): Operation now in progress
Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g. man mount.cifs)
mount error(13): Permission denied
Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g. man mount.cifs)
did you refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g. man mount.cifs)
?
absolutely!  i had a networking guru from work try it too!  he went home in TEARS!
scottyg_, and this happens when you flush the toilet? or when you turn on the car? or when you run a command of some form?
when i run the mount command!
scottyg_, what mount command?
sudo mount -t cifs -o username=scottyg,password=pex571 //192.168.6.3/e$ /media/shares
scottyg_, thank you
the dollar sign looks wrong
i have to say that i hated microsoft for years but they know how to network!
linux knows how to network too ;)
gordonjcp: MS file systems use a trailing $ for hidden shares
scottyg_: Right click your C drive then go to Properties > Sharing > Advanced Sharing and tick "Share this folder" Than on ubuntu, open terminel and type:sudo apt-get install smbfs , sudo mkdir /mnt/c , sudo mount -t smbfs //IP ADRESS OF WINDOWS MACHINE/c /mntc -o username=<yourusername>,password=<yourpassword>
scottyg_, the $ has special meaning to the shell, you have to escape it if you mean a literal $... put a \ in front of it... or put the whole path in single quotes
that is only one of hundreds of mount commands...i am at my wit's end
Just not from ms to windows
BobJonkman: I wonder if it's being treated as a special character
BobJonkman: I should point out, I konw *nothing* about Windows
BobJonkman, its still wonky. perhaps it should be escaped. scottyg_ have you tried escaping the $
gordonjcp: I'm only good with WIndows on Windows systems, so far I have happily avoided cifs and samba on Linux
i will not share my c drive are you crazy?
psusi...i am way too new to this.  will you please write a mount command for me to try?
BobJonkman: I'm pretty much a newb, I've only been using it for a couple of months
scottyg_, sudo mount -t cifs -o username=scottyg,password=pex571 //192.168.6.3/e\$ /media/shares
Is there anyone who is expirienced with GTK+? I have a compilation error
scottyg_: Share whatever driver you want, you have those instructions there.
scottyg_, or sudo mount -t cifs -o username=scottyg,password=pex571 '//192.168.6.3/e$ /media/shares'
john: pastebin the error
john: why are you compiling GTK ?
scottyg_, psusi, lost two 's need one after the $ and before /media
psusi: I have written the same instructions for him, he still complains. No use.
scottyg_, sudo mount -t cifs -o username=scottyg,password=pex571 '//192.168.6.3/e$' /media/shares
mount error(13): Permission denied
Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g. man mount.cifs)
scottyg_: sudo
scottyg_, you left off the sudo
undefined reference to `gtk_application_window_new' and  undefined reference to `gtk_application_set_app_menu' come up as an error when i try to compile a .c programming with gtk commands in it
john: you're missing headers
john: check the dependencies
john: are you writing this yourself?
mount error(13): Permission denied
Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g. man mount.cifs)
(if you're wondering, sudo runs this as admin)
scottyg_: stop repeating things
scottyg_: you missed off sudo
the source is an example source so it should work, its from begginers on develope.gnome.org
actually that may be the windows side saying it doesn't like your password
escott: sudo mount -t cifs -o username=scottyg,password=pex571 '//192.168.6.3/e$' /media/shares
sudo mount -t cifs -o username=scottyg,password=pex571 '//192.168.6.3/e$' /media/shares
scottyg_, are you an administrator on the windows machine?
scottyg_: you don't have to type everything 2 times
scottyg_: everyone has memorized that command by now...
mount error(13): Permission denied
Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g. man mount.cifs)
scottyg_: why have you got the ' marks
and the error
scottyg_: last time - stop repeating it
ikonia, concern over the $
scottyg: Are you trolling?
ikonia, because of the $
escott: ooh really,
sorry should i remove the ' marks?
ikonia, better safe than sorry
scottyg_: no
escott: a fair point
ikonia, the shell may not care since its "$ " but its easier to put a quote
why wont it work?  windows can access the drive effortlessly!
scottyg_: You need to type local ip of your windows machine there.
rymate@rymate-Aspire-5551 ~/Desktop
> $
$: command not found
dollars don't do crap
rymate1234: errro what ?
$ is not a command
you can't just type it on your own
oh
scottyg_: Go to terminal type: sudo smbpasswd -a USERNAME  (type here your username)
thelinux: ? that's setting a samba password in the local database
he's authenticating against a windows share
scottyg_, you have to have some patience. you are asking linux to connect to windows file sharing. its not surprising that windows connecting to windows file sharing works well (it would be surprising if it didnt)
scottyg_, try smbclient -U scottyg //192.168.6.3/e\$
has anyone checked where the auth is ?
is it authenticating against local users or AD
windows might want you to specify the domain name as part of the user name...
session request to 192.168.6.3 failed (Called name not present)
Domain=[SCOTTYG-W7-DESK] OS=[Windows 7 Ultimate 7601 Service Pack 1] Server=[Windows 7 Ultimate 6.1]

thanx u guys for helping me!! i think we are getting close!!!
scottyg_: is the windows PC part of a domain ?
a home work group
called scottyg
scottyg_: so the users are local to a PC
i'm in a bind here
this is a peer to peer network with dynamic ips
trying to build alx drivers for ar8161 ethernet on 12.10
scottyg_: what ?
i have 2 computers
one runs win 7
i have a shared drive on it
they require 3.5.0-17 build essentials or whatever but installing that package only gave me 3.5.0-18
scottyg_, try changing the user name to 'SCOTTYG-W7-DESK\scottyg'
the other computer is a laptop.  it runs ubugtu
this is a gtk program and out of the compilation, it has a few errors regarding undefined referneces http://pastebin.ca/2250470
john: you're missing headers
psusi where should i do that sir?
scottyg_, in any of the commands you have been trying
change what user name?  should ui create one?
is a kernel wizard around?
scottyg_, no, change what you specified as the username
i get you susi!
sometimes windows is stupid and insists that you specify the domain as well as the username
ikonia: i understand that but which ones?, also this is example code from developer.gnome.org, so it should work out of the box
scottyg_, and don't forget the '' around the whole thing
 !list
john: no it shouldn't, not if you don't meet the dependencies
psusi permission denied
scottyg_, what was the exact command?
please write a statement for me to cut and paste!!!!!!
sudo mount -t cifs -o username=SCOTTYG-W7-DESK\scottyg,password=pex571 //192.168.6.3/e$ /media/shares
can you believe how impossible it is to access a bloody drive from this STINKING ods?
scottyg_, thats probably introducing another escaping issue. you need to escape the \ with either \\ or quoting the username/password string
scottyg_: drop the attitude
it's getting tedious
you are WAY over my head
scottyg_, you left out the quotes around the username.... smbclient -U SCOTTYG-W7-DESK\\scottyg //192.168.6.3/e\$
scottyg_: You probably need to escape the backslash, eg SCOTTYG-W7-DESK\\scottyg
again....way way way over my head
escott: :)
i beg you to write the command so that i can paste it in terminal
scottyg_, i you type "echo \s" in the shell it prints "s" not "\s" you need to have \\s or you need to have quotes 'username=blablah\blah,password=blah'
escott.  that is difficult for me to get
  what would the correct command look like?
smbclient -U SCOTTYG-W7-DESK\\scottyg //192.168.6.3/e\$
scottyg@scottyg-laptop:~$ smbclient -U SCOTTYG-W7-DESK\\scottyg //192.168.6.3/e\$
Enter SCOTTYG-W7-DESK\scottyg's password:

scottyg_, well, don't know what to tell you... windows doesn't like your username or password
check caps lock
no but at least ubuntu can see the other machine...which is miraculous!

read that
super os i love it
john: you aren't on oneiric (11.10) are you?
caps lock is off and my friend just connected with the same credentials from her pc in win vista...flawlessly
thanogai, what th hell is super os ?
ubuntu
scottyg_, please read the link ikonia sent you above
smbclient -L SCOTTYG-W7-DESK -U scottyg //192.168.6.3/e\$
i read it twice:)
that *shouldn't* be required since this isn't win95
will that help me map a shared win7 drive from ubuntu?
psusi: if you check a little deeper, you'll find it still appears to be valid in vista, so I'd assume it's a good possability it's still valid in win 7
scottyg_: if you'd read it twice, you'd know the answer
how would i extract the files out of a .exe windows driver
ghostconn: you don't,
so then you are telling me it IS impossible to map a win7 shared resource from ubuntu?
yes

scottyg_ et al: The authentication mechanism for Windows file shares has changed several times since Win95, so that you can only map a drive from a more recent version of Win to an older version.  eg. mapping from Win7 to a WinXP share is OK, but can't map a drive from WinXP to a Win7 share
T.T

BobJonkman: what's nonsense, I have a map from an XP desktop to a Windows 7 desktop now
hey, ive got a SATA DVD drive and im trying to play a DVD with VLC but it just wont work?
hi bob...maybe you dont understand....i am using UBUNTU to try and map to a win7 shared drive:)

djangrono what version of ubuntu and 32 or 64 ?
that was after i followed the instuctions in ikonias post
ubuntu 12   64 bit and windows 7 64 bit
has anyone here ever mapped a win 7 drive from ubuntu?
scottyg_: yes, as I told you earlier
what do you mean mapped scottyg_ ? I frequently use samba to access files on local Win machines from Ubuntu, and I've shared from Ubuntu machines back
ikonia: It may be possible to map from a WinXP computer to a Win7 share if you have admin rights on one of the computers (can't remember which one needs admin rights, or if both do).  And I don't have enough computers running Windows to be able to test...
//alice.internal/c$  224G   93G  131G  42% /tmp/test
just mapped a windows 7 drive now
ikonia: Do you authenticate to the Win7 computer with admin credentials?
BobJonkman: just wrong
BobJonkman: no
you don't need admin credentials
someone plzz help
what you think is password protected sharing
if you leave that on, on the W7 machine it will obviously require a password
djangrono,maybe you want describe your problem?
can anyone help me solve this ? Bus 002 Device 006: ID 1385:5f01 Netgear, Inc WPN111 (no firmware)
ChrisTX, ikonia: Interesting...  That's not been my experience
djangrono: I asked you a minute ago what version of ubuntu are you running?
ghostconn: the device has no firmware on your system
ghostconn: the firmware will get loaded when you load the ubuntu module for it
ikonia : so should I just give up hope lol
i just bought a new laptop @blackshirt
and the wireless not detected
yes
we get that
djangrono, what wifi card you have ?
djangrono: but ill say it again, what version of ubuntu are you running ?
@blackshirt: DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu DISTRIB_RELEASE=10.10 DISTRIB_CODENAME=maverick DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu 10.10" Linux icha-ayu 2.6.35-32-generic #67-Ubuntu SMP Mon Mar 5 19:35:26 UTC 2012 i686 GNU/Linux icha@icha-ayu:~$ lspci -nnk | grep -iA2 net 03:00.0 Ethernet controller [0200]: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd.

djangrono, 10.10?
djangrono: why have you put ubuntu 10.10 on a new laptop ?
djangrono: 10.10 is out of support. install  a release with is supported
@ikonia: because i love the old ubuntu
ikonia, lol
djangrono: then use 10.04, its a LTS
nicekiwi, did you install dvdcss?
djangrono try 12.04 th new hardware is supported
trism: i am on 12.04 (LXDE)
djangrono: for that laptop all the drivers are fully supported on 12.04 (LTS) for sure.  Can run any DTE ontop of it if you want.
djangrono, i think that was for eth interfaces
dr kokandy.  i bet you cannot get my ubuntu machine to even CONNECT to my shared win 7 drive.
just my wireless thing
 it is IMPOSSIBLE
scottyg_: no it's not
does anybody know of any good guides I can follow to make ubuntu server boot from a pendrive to ram?
is rsync capable of monitoring a folder and any changes and pust those new files over to set destination?
scottyg_: I've just done it and showed you
@blackshirt: how to know the wireless card?
Erealz: not by itself afaik.  But you could use inotify for that
you have?!?!! please send me the scripts or the code!!!
Erealz, it doesn't "monitor" but yes
all i get are errors when i try!!!
djangrono, you won't get any support for an version of ubuntu that is eol.
ikonia, i eagerly await your commands that will let me access a shared win 7 drive from ubuntu!!!
@kostkon: that's why i go to the forum :D
djangrono, try xubuntu or lubuntu 12.04 or 12.10,
djangrono, commonlya new laptop was built in with two network devices, one for lan card ethernet and one for wireleess devices
xubuntu++ :)
id like this to always run  when system start im guessing this can be acoblished with cronjob what the correct syntax for accomplishing sed feet?
when the networking guy from the job gave up, i thought it was impossible!

ok blackshirt, how do i know my wireless cars\d?
can anyone please give me the exact syntax to connect a ubuntu machine to a shared win 7 drive?
erealz, i don't know what you need exactlyy,but i think you can read about related to inotify
For some reason, my Ubuntu 12.04 doesn't seem to recognize boot-repair as a package for installation, and my grub doesn't show my windows partition even though I just installed/booted into it before repairing the grub from a liveCD.  Anyone have thoughts on how I can get a graphical install for grub?
scottyg_: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/1349430/
scottyg_: there is proof it's easy
everyone says they can do it, but no one sends the statements
scottyg_: I just did
djangrono, i'm pretty sure that if oyu install 12.04 or 12.10, your wireless card will work right away.
id like to my download folder to synce over any new files to my dropbox
kostkon: how are you sure of that
djangrono, lspci | grep Network
kostkon: what wireless card does he have ?
well ikonia, when i pasted that, i got a lot of errors!!! im afraid you failed me:(
scottyg_: because that's MY command
scottyg_: you fail
not me
mine works
djangrono, lspci | grep ethernet
blackshirt: 04:00.0 Network controller: Atheros Communications Inc. Device 0032 (rev 01)
Erealz, you have two options. you can run the job every 10minutes or so, or you can rely on inotify-watch or one of the other inotify commands to trigger the rsync call
Or something like them
would you like to try another statement?
ikonia, eh, ok, let's find out
scottyg_: why would I try another statement, that's what's needed for MY network
oh it's an atheros
it works
djangrono, greats, you have atheros based wifi chipset
i would be delighted to trry anything
why would I change it
tabfail
yup atheros blackshirt
sudo mount -t cifs -o username=scottyg,password=pex571 //192.168.6.3/e$ /media/shares
does not work for me:(
scottyg_: stop pasting that
scottyg_: we know it doesn't work for you
thx ubottu
ohhh i was hoping you understood that i need a statement that DOES work...
scottyg_: mine does work
is it called i watch
would anyone like to try?
scottyg_: are you dumb?
google that shit
as i've just shown you
scottyg_: I've explained why yours doen't work
LostAsylum: unacceptable language.
lost.  if i told you i was a drooling moron would you help me?
ikonia, but i addressed that issue
scottyg_: no you didn't, that's why you are still typing the same command, despite the info I gave you
what ikonia: dumb?
ikonia, can you design a statement that will work?
so blackshirt? do you have ant advice?
scottyg_: re-read the email link I gave you
LostAsylum, just move on
i  did a apt-cache search and iwatch iseems to me the name of the tool yes or no?
i am not a networking professional....i apologize
bazhang: smd?
  will youplease write a command that i can try?
scottyg_: no
scottyg_: as it's specific to your network
because you KNOW it wont work:)
LostAsylum, stop with the editorializing
scottyg_: it does work I've just proved it,
I missed the earlier part of this conversation - Would the GUI way help? Open Nautilus, and in the bottom of the left column you may be able to "Browse Network Shares" - find the machine you'd like to connect to and click it
Erealz, stupid ubottu. package is inotify-tools
? english ?
but i typed it in and it failesd
Erealz, and please include peoples nicks in your messages
scottyg_: i you think it doesn't work and I'm telling you lies, give up now, bye
Erealz: an easy way to solve that problem is to create a Downloads folder in your dropbox, and then make the folder in your home directory a symlink to it
  you have all the info you need about my network!!!!!
can anyone tell me how to access a win 7 shared drive from ubuntu?
scottyg_: I've told you
scottyg_: I've given you the email list, plus my own working example
scottyg_ ur network fails and your left hand is probably really sore from moving that mouse.
this is true
Wow, it's a broken record in here.
that is a good simple yet afective  idea dougbb
ikonia, i have tried to explain i am not an ubuntu guru...nor am  i a networking specialist.
i think ill do that
your mom doesnt fail me lost asylum...you chicken raping sodomite:)
Erealz: glad I could help :)

is it possible to put color in an alias in zsh?
zack, what would that mean?
escott: so say when I type pwd I want it to always turn up green.  is that possible?
escott: I'm thinking along the same lines as how one would color their prompt (which I have done)
zack, no. if you typed in pwd it would show up as pwd
zack: that should be possible, see something similar at https://github.com/zsh-users/zsh-syntax-highlighting
zack, aliases are interpreted after you press ENTER
jrib: Thanks, will do.
hmm can i get help with fglrx here? can't get it to work with my ati card on ubuntu 10.04. or would you recommend me somehwere else?
escott: I understand.  I want the output of pwd to show up green
zack: wait you want to color the /output/?
zack, you could try aliasing pwd to something like "echo -e \colorcode; pwd; echo -e \colorcode"
escott: that's what i'm trying. i keep getting an error that the color code isn't a proper command. one sec. let me recreate it.
jrib: as i in type pwd, hit enter, and /home/zack turns up in green
zack, aliases in general are not meant to expand to multiple commands
zack, because that breaks things like cp `pwd`/foo /bar
you can write a function to accomplish the same thing just as easily
zack: oh. syntax highlighting actually just highlights your command as you type it.  So you could highlight "pwd".  If you want to color the output, well... if you can't get the alias to work just write a small shell script and put it in ~/bin/ I guess
i've got a FireGL V3200 and i donwloaded the fglrx 12.6 drivers as i thought the card would be supported in that version of the driver. however when i'm trying to insmod the module it built i get "No such device"
that's a legacy version btw
jrib: no need for a script, a function will work just as well
dougbb: sure
when opening multiple logins bash keeps track of the commands in multiple .bash_history files it seems because sometimes when logging back in I get a bash history of another login I had used. where is the bash history of these other logins stored ?
so I should stop trying to get alias pwd='$fg_no_bold_[green]pwd' to work?
zack: right :)
d'oh
what you're doing is the province of a function
maicod: by default, the history of last shell you close gets written to ~/ .bash_history
sheriffbot: rollout 134069 "It is a wrong way to fix the problem. See discussions in bug 96614"
zack: as someone else pointed out, aliases are designed for single things, not compound ones
warfaren: the last shell you log out of will write it's history out to $HISTFILE
sorry, ignore the above message. I posted to a wrong channel:)
it's not a compound process
yeah.
warfaren: yeah but the others are kept somewhere else since they turn up sometimes when later logging into a new shell
dougbb: I mean.. is a color code a command?  beacuse that's the error I get - it doesn't recognize it as as command. and even if it were shouldn't && handle that?
so where is that stored :)
maicod: echo $HISTFILE
Anybody here has dual boot of windows 8 and ubuntu?
i don't think so. they're per user so if you were logged into different users you would get all of them saved
zack: as soon as you get && involved, it's not proper for an alias
zack: writing functions isn't hard ... stop resisting :)
but if you have multiple shells with the same user up at the same time and just kill them one by one only the history of the last one will get written, the rest are lost
dougbb: i'm not resisting. i'm learning. i'm learning why it's wrong or won't work.
dougbb: thats .bash_history ofc ;)
maicod: ok, so check that for each of your shells, it will tell you where they are being stored
OK
thanks
http://www.naturalnews.com/037832_superfoods_stockpiling_survival.html
warfaren, that can be fixed with shopt variables
Anom01y:scared for the end of the world?
zack: fair enough .... the bash man page has a very good explanation of aliases, and when/why they are applicable
escott: are you talking about my graphics problem?
warfaren, the history being lost issue
i see. doh :(
i'm really hoping to get fglrx working. can't even watch youtube fluidly with the open source driver :(
maicod, if you problem is history being overwritten its easily fixed
hello everyone!
funnily enough, zack's alias actually works :P
jrib, except for being completely unsafe
escott: why unsafe?
jrib, what happens with: "cp `pwd`/foo /bar"
escott: gotcha
HEY GUYS, I INSTALLED UBUNTU ON MY COMPUTER, AND FORWHATEVER REASON CAPSLOCK IS STUCK ON
WHAT DO I DO?
MonolithImmortal: if you're really being serious and you're using a laptop. try connecting an external keyboard and press caps lock on that one. i need to do that sometimes when the laptop's built in key doesn't do anything
MonolithImmortal, thats odd. only way i've ever seen that is to hit capslock and then remap the capslock key with xmodmap.
<MonolithImmortal> Is capslock light on?

can someone help me pleas? i installed zentyal on ubuntu server and after the installation it came up with ldap configuration...what is ti and how should i configure it?
zeronewb, ldap can be used for various purposes. from corporate email address books, to synchronizing usernames and passwords across multiple computers. not sure what zentyal is or how it uses ldap
it's web interface to configure the server
it just came up with a configuration screen right after the installation
zeronewb, if you only have one server you aren't using ldap
i have no clue on how to configure it tho
i am desperately trying to fix 100 full duplex on my NICs with ethtool, but after a network reset they all come back with autonegotiatio. Could somebody help?
VlanX: why aren't you using auto on both sides?
dougbb: because it's a server
and i need to have fixed 100 fdx
what does that have to do with anything?
escott, no. VLC dosnt need that does it?
autoneg has been the recommendation for networking equipment for over 15 years
nicekiwi, what?
it asks me for ldap server address...should i configure it with the ip of my server?
<VlanX> Why is autonegotiation is bad? Are you using some ancient switch or something?
dougbb: that might also be, but in my case i keep having half duplex with autoneg
dolphin: no it's a Cisco ME-3400
zeronewb, are you running ldap?
idk i just installed zentyal
i don't think so
VlanX: power off the server (or disconnect the network cable), reset the switch, configure the server for autoneg, and then reconnect/power on
zeronewb, if you aren't running ldap i would skip that question
i can't there is just ok and go back....and the step before was chosing a password for root
<VlanX> Did you try another cable/patchcord  (if it's possible)?
nicekiwi, i have no idea what you are talking about.... are you jumping into a new question or is this from earlier
hello! who knows how to test the result of code in geany?
VlanX: you get yourself into all kinds of problems if you start mucking about with it manually ... dolphin's idea is a good thing to look at as well
zeronewb, im going to suggest that you shouldnt be installing whatever you are installing. ubuntu has no root password. and a well secured system probably should not have a root password
i think it's actually the setup for ldap...maybe the interface needs it
root password foe ldap
before that i had to configure mysql
Hello room - Over the last week a patch broke my Gnome3 shell - are others impacted by this?
dougbb, dolphin, even if i was that crazy to be willing to force 100/fdx, is there a file i can store that string? I can always restore the previous values...
i think it's the web interface that needs it
VlanX, /etc/network/interfaces?
escott: do you happen to know what is the syntax to use?
<VlanX> I've had a problem like that - realtek netcard - zyxel wifi router gave halfduplex and older stupid switch connected at full-duplex. I've messed with them for some time, then used a factory-made patchcord and voila - full duplex with any hardware. I think it has something to do with modern trend of "green power"
VlanX, i've never messed with stuff at that low a level
zeronewb: you realize that the mysql root password is something totally different than the system root password, right?
yes
<VlanX> Best idea i have right now is to have ethtool command set up in cron
dolphin: you called?
dolphin: i do have a realtek card
kidding
god realtek sucks so bad
<VlanX> me too, good old rtl8139c
<halfduplex> :)
anyone knows ho to get a browser test on geany?
hey can anyone help me with an FTP server error?
i have been searching forums for the past 5 hours
<frigginglorious> - whats the error?
frigginglorious, real ftp server of sftp?
and cant figure out why i cant connect to my server anymore
sftp works fine
ECONNREFUSED - Connection refused by server
frigginglorious - so you still have a listener running
frigginglorious, ie you are using proftpd or the like...
frigginglorious: look in the auth.log on the server side
pure-ftpd
but i have tried installing 3 different servers
vsftpd, proftpd
could be a firewall issue as well
frigginglorious, is there a reason you are using ftp instead of sftp
<frigginglorious> - Firewall Issue
frigginglorious, you trying to connect over a lan or the web?
how would i fix a firewall issue in lubuntu?
frigginglorious - how about an iptables /f
frigginglorious, exactly,what the error is?
frigginglorious - the /f will purge them
honestly ive tried screwing with iptables, but dont know what im doing
frigginglorious - flush
frigginglorious, you positive your ports are open on the target machine?
the error is from when i try to connect with my client. I was never able to get pure-ftpd to log correctly
frigginglorious, another thing you have to deal with in ftp is the control port vs the data port issue
im SSH'd into the machine right now, so at least some ports have to be open
frigginglorious, it can really confuse NATs
frigginglorious, sftp would be a lot easier to setup and more secure
yeah, SFTP does work
frigginglorious, the SSH port is different than the FTP port. I'd recommend sftp and check the router settings
frigginglorious: stick with sftp if it works ... encryption is your friend :)
but FTP is more universal, my wordpress will allow me to do alot more with FTP
frigginglorious: wordpress supports sftp just as much as ftp
frigginglorious, you are missing my point. ftp is insecure. the only reason you should even think of doing ftp is if you want anonymous access. you can offer something much the same with ssh in many situations
frigginglorious, you haven't stated your use case, but we can likely accomplish your goals with openssh and the sftp module. it will be easier and more secure. if you just tell us what it is you want to do
Does anyone knows where can I find the XChat freenode server ?
lnow*
know**
frigginglorious - escott is correct
well i would like to be able to install wordpress themes from the web GUI
frigginglorious - ftp sends user/pass in clear text, any packet capture tool will show it
frigginglorious, so why would you need an ftp-server to do that?
frigginglorious - in fact you may want to just transfer files via SSH with something like winSCP
isnt SSH and SFTP kind of the same thing?
they both use port 22, right?
frigginglorious, SFTP uses the SSH protocol, but talks FTP. so the commands are ftp commands instead of a full shell
Hello room - 2-3 weeks ago a patch broke my Gnome3 shell - have other users been reporting this?
frigginglorious, in any case if you are wanting to upload a theme to wordpress.com you don't need a server. you need a client
i tried upgrading from what ever version to 11.10 but it only did a partial upgrade and now everything is all crazy my sound doesn't work and i keep getting this message about the laptop battery being critally low even though it's not.. it pops up like every 3 seconds and it covers up all of my windows that i want to be in focus
cpare, check launchpad.net
thx escott
frigginglorious, and your webbrowser can probably do ftp. or you can get fireftp? plugin for firefox
crackerjackz, have you completed the upgrade?
I have ubuntu running on a USB stick. I want to copy it over to another USB. What command could I use that will make sure I get an exact copy with all hidden files and file permissions? Thanks..
i was mostly just using notepadd ++ ftp client because i was just doing simple web dev
lloowen1, you would need to copy with "dd" to get a bit for bit copy that would be bootable
when i open the update manager it says not all updates can be installed, run a partial upgrade to run as many udates as possible...this can be caused by a previus upgrade which didn't complete.. problems with some installed software, unofficial software packages not provided by ubuntu, normal changes of a pre-release version of ubuntu
escott: it wont let me
lloowen1, that can only be done if stick2 is at least as large as stick1
crackerjackz, on the terminal can you run "sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade;"
crackerjackz: the easiest way to solve that problem is to back up your data, and do a clean install
escott: Thanks. I'll check out the 'dd' command
crackerjackz, on the terminal can you run "sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get -f upgrade;" (with the f is a bit better)
dougbb: i don't wanna do that because of the truecrypt and all of that i have things configured a certain way on here it'd end up being more time consuiming i think
Hi ! My ubuntu freezes at boot, just after the pointer shows up. By switching to another TTy before the pointer appears then switching back to TTy 7 the desktop loads fine. Booting in recovery mode does the trick too. Any clue ? Thanks.
crackerjackz: I don't see how TC would have anything to do with it
dougbb: cause it took me forever to set it up
and i just did it the other day
like 100 gb of data
crackerjackz: I have way more than that on various TC devices, no sympathy from me :)
douzto check the log files
crackerjackz: are you using TC on devices, or using file/folders
What is the best way to download music from Ubuntu 12.04 to an Android Galaxy S3?  Nothing I've found on-line works.
dougbb: i dont have enough space to back all that up
douzto try dmseg
retromingent, you have to install something that speaks that weird PIP protocol or whatever it is
crackerjackz: if you don't have enough backup capability for all your data, that's a whole different problem that you need to solve :)
It's MTP.  I have that.
retromingent: why not just mount the device, and transfer the files?
It mounts, but no music player recognizes it.  And neither does Dolphin.
retromingent, $ sudo aptitude install mtpfs; mkdir ~/android/; mount.mtpfs ~/android/; does that work
dougbb: but i don't need to reinstall my OS either...
When it mounts as an MTP FS, Dolphin says, "Could not display" when trying to open the device.
crackerjackz: apparently you do :)
for want of a 5 cent circuit the usb gadget was lost... for want of a usb gadget
Looking for someone who has done this.
for want of a nail
escott: it worked i think
i'm not getting an error message when i go to the update manager nore
now*
upgrading to 12.04...
Has anyone successfully downloaded music from Ubuntu 12.04 to Android Galaxy S3 via MTP?
retromingent: I didn't see an answer to the question of why not just mount the device as a regular disk?
dougbb, its not a regular disk. its a ptp device you can fuse mount it
dougbb, or mtp rather
DarKMode, dmesg shows last boot's record, right ?
ah
dougbb, its obnoxious. a little additional circuitry and they could enable gadget mode in the kernel and export usb mass storage from an ext3 filesystem
escott: right .... I have an LG android phone that lets me mount both the system disk and the sd card
escott: do you happen to know if the nexus 7 has the same problem?
dougbb, its one of the main reasons im not upgrading to ICS
I'm thinking of buying one
escott: why don't you want ICS? i've been waiting on them to upgrade to ICS for a year now on the motorola electrify.. i'm still on 2.3.5
crackerjackz, this should go in offtopic. but i dont want to give up usb mass storage mode
ahhh i see
hey, does anyone know if I can use dd to make a Mac OS X usb installer from ubuntu?
how do i know when its possible to get devel libs from an apt-get install command rather than having to DL the source and use the config / make files??
the apt-get is easier
How do I get a good looking terminal like this? http://images.4chan.org/g/src/1352597160213.png I saved this file as my .bashrc (the guy who has that shell uses the same file) http://pastebin.com/7CudGSG4 but it looks like this - http://images.4chan.org/g/src/1352598645033.png
eamon: is this ubuntu related?
eamon: why are you asking here?
eamon: right click -> edit profile
that's OSX
wrong os
wrong side of the force
devel libs guys??
Phaba_, there is usually a -dev package that contains headers you can build against
well i just installed the openmpi libs but from source i found it really hard, and theres a simple "apt-get install" command that would have done it all for me
i have a the same problem with openvas
Phaba_, apt-get install openmpi-dev
yes openmpi works fine now, cheers
Phaba_, you dont need to build openmpi. you need to build against openmpi. so you just need the -dev version of the package to have the headers
when i type  ifconfig eth0 up, is he reading from /etc/network/interfaces ?
escott, what do you mean "against"?? headers just reference the source libs?
lunaphyte: Because there are other bash users in this channel. Bash is the shell in the "terminal window", you may not ever have seen it before.
eamon: excuse me?
is there anything more simple but has the same affect as conky
Phaba_, the *.so contains entry points and symbols (you can view them by running "nm /path/to/libraryname.so"  but to compile a program that will link against those libraries you need the header files which contain all the function prototypes and declarations specific to the language you are coding in
<lunaphyte> eamon: why are you asking here?
hi...would anyone mind terribly if i troubled you for some information on what might be the most useful file format converter for .flac to .mp3?
dont convert flac it too good to loose bitrate
eamon: i know what bash is, i know what a terminal window is, and i know if i wanted help with it, i'd ask in #bash, not here.
Phaba_, you get all that when you build the thing by hand but you dont have to do that with ubuntu. the split the make install part that installs the library and the make install-headers part that installs the prototypes into different packages
lunaphyte: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bash_%28Unix_shell%29
eamon: are you even USING ubuntu?
Yes.
eamon, yeah but the problem is your terminal application in OSX is lame
eamon: not in that screenshot you're not
eamon: i'm not the one asking for help.  stop it.
eamon: maybe you're not familiar with bash?
eamon: http://www.gnu.org/software/bash/manual/bashref.html
ncfi1013, soundconverter, or terminal :  for f in *;do flac -cd $f |lame -b 128 - $f.mp3;done     ( 128 or 190 or 256)

ghostconn: you're going to struggle for professional grade music proction tools in linux
ikonia : do you think flstudio od ableton would run through wine?
ikonia, do u still here ?
ikonia: right. if you want pro music studio stuff it's illogical not to go with Mac (and I say that as a devoted Linux user since 1995)
escott, okay when using the "make" it installs the libs and headers into /usr/lib but what im asking is when do i know or how would i find out that i could just use an "apt-get install" rather than pulling the source code in and making it from scratch, using things like flags and finding non default local libs is a bit of a pain for me :P
i have two NICs; when i enable the second NIC how can i prevent to have messed up routes (the 2nd NIC will become the default route to the internet, but it's a private LAN)
Phaba_, you can use the software center, synaptic, or apt-cache search to search for packages
my hard disk have no space. how to get free space on ununtui file system
thanigoi: well, the obvious answer is to delete some files :)
there will be system files
rtin
thanigoi: right, so don't delete anything you don't understand
thanigoi: perhaps if you said a little bit more about what you're trying to accomplish?
the next obvious answer is to get a larger hard drive ;)
thanigoi: delete old kernels with the package: "linux-image-..."
http://askubuntu.com/q/214798/106577 <----- Having some issues with my upgrade would appreciate any feedback, thanks
thanigoi: and remove the apt-get caches and old files with apt-get autoremove and autoclean
dougbb, there will be system files
thanigoi, use bleachit to clean you ubuntu filesystem, uninstall programs you never use.
thaks
thanks
Any one here know about /dev and drivers?
definity, it depends
definity: just ask the question
If I have an OEM license key, can I install Ubuntu over Windows 7 then make a virtual machine of 7 on the same computer with the OEM license key?
why does psaux only output the same character to the terminal screen when i look at it
Easton_: That's more of a question for ##windows.
definity, what?
when i look at /dev/psaux in the terminal all i see is the same character repeated when i move the mouse. how come the charater is the same one and not diffrent bits of data
definity, probably because it's binary data so it just comes out as undefined characters
but its just one character not diffrent ones
definity, it is probably several different ones that all show up as the junk character block
the point is, you aren't supposed to cat /dev/psaux... you won't get anything sensical
what would be the best way to see the data?
what is it that you are trying to see?
i want to know how the mouse sends its data to memory
well see the data
definity, you can use hd to dump it as hex
http://askubuntu.com/q/214798/106577 <----- Having some issues with my upgrade would appreciate any feedback, thanks
cool thanks
fdisk -l reveals 3 separate drives on my system.  1 of the remaining 2 drives could be running my current boot environment.  How do I tell which one?
mount ?
Hey, can anyone help me with a wireless issue I'm having?
Random832: ok.. I see sda1 is ext4 and sda3 is /home .. I can't really identify where /swap is unless it's labeled something different..
Is an SSH server runing by default on a fresh install of 12.10?
Lord_Zero: not typically.. sudo apt-get install ssh
here's a silly question, is there anything in stock ubuntu 12.10 that is feeding the /dev/random entropy pool?
Scunizi:  thank you my good man
Unless it's a Server Install
true
If sshd wasn't running default
Lord_Zero: is it a server install?
You might have a problem
A budy is having issues with sound. Im trying to troubleshoot with my limited knowledge of Ubuntu
Lord_Zero: and he's in a gui environment?
If I recall isnt there some sound libraries or drivers I need to get that arent out of the box?
Yes
Lord_Zero: he might just need to install pavcontrol and then go from there..
I see
Lord_Zero: that will give a different control panel for the sound and you can then choose input and output items separately.
is that in aptitude?
oh okay
Lord_Zero: yes.. also.. if you want to see his screen with out ssh.. use teamviewer.. it's free and runs on everything.
Oh very good point
ill try that
has anyone installed flstudio with ubuntu using wine
ghostconn: something I'd strongly suggest not doing
Is it possible to create a raid setup with a mirrored boot partition across three drives, and have the remainder of the space be raid 5? (minus swap of course)
has anyone done anything like that?
shing`: no
shing`: mirror = 1->1
or 1->1->1
shing` you're much better off keeping your system on a simple partition, and RAID'ing your data
d'oh
ikonia: can you install windows driver with wine
ghostconn: not really
ok
ghostconn: trying to use a daw or a hardware interface through wine - will fail
the abstraction layer takes it away from the real time responses needed
hello is anyone running steam native?
im unable to download team fortress 2
hammersickle: this isn't the steam support channel
oh sorry didnt realise just asking on the slight chance of help was such a big problem
heh, steam on linux is in beta anyways so gl geting any real support as of yet unlesss its from the offical group on steam.
Hi guys
hi....i want pcmanfm (for the sake of speed)to control my desktop instead of nautilus .......is there a way i can do it
Can someone post an example of shared memory? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/StricterDefaults
killer: use lubuntu
I inserted the string in my fstab but I keeping screwing up the boot...
ikonla: i like unity but nautilus turns out to b too slow as compared to pcmanfm
killer: you can't have both
How bout Thunar?
Xanthippus: paste the exact line from fstab
killer: you can certainly use pcmanfm but have it intergrated into the desktop....not
The line from here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/StricterDefaults
Xanthippus: no, paste what YOU have
Xanthippus: which line
in YOUR fstab
There is no more "my fstab"
I formatted the HD because it won't booth
I just need an example of that line incorporated in an example fstab so I know how to do it corrctly
Xanthippus: that example in the wiki is valid
Xanthippus: it's overwhelmingly likely that you made a tiny-but-important error when you pasted the line
you might want to skip that in any case, it's highly doubtful that you'll run into problems with shared memory on a single-user system
what command to see my system info like rams and etc
?
"free" ?
dougbb: Yeah, that's probably it. That's why need an example, so I know how it's supposed to look after copy/pasted
Is there a way I can record .gif's during a movie in ubuntu? someone told me photoshop
Xanthippus: the example in that wiki is genuine
Xanthippus: it should look exactly like that example
ikonia: i got flstudi 10 working with wine everything works wine ... the only minor problem i have is I usually use asio for faster response from my live midi controller any way around that
ikonia: I know it's valid, but I already reinstalled twice using that string and it wouldn't booth
Xanthippus: what problem are you trying to solve by changing that setting?
dougbb: Following this guide: http://www.thefanclub.co.za/how-to/how-secure-ubuntu-1204-lts-server-part-1-basics
ghostconn: I really wish you'd listen "it won't work due to the abstraction layer taking it away from the real time response needed for a daw"
ghostconn: what is the point of asking if it works, being told "no" doing it anyway, saying it works, but doesn't
ghostconn: it doesn't work, the daw requires real time access to the hardware and sync clock, the abstraction layer of wine won't allow that
Xanthippus: ok, if you don't actually know why you might want to change that, I suggest that you don't do it
ghostconn: that's why all daws do not allow / support being run in things like vm's
Xanthippus: then you are making a mistake, and as dougbb says, why do you want this
ill figure it out anythings possible
dougbb: I already did it once, but screwed up something else and now it won't work
ghostconn: no, it's not
ghostconn: there are limitations
This isnt the first time ive done this
ghostconn: daws are a great example because of how fussy they are with the real time clock
Xanthippus: what you might find useful is to test out your configuration in a vm (like virtualbox) first, then transfer your working version to the live server
I'm sorry, but if you can't copy a line correctly, there is no need to run it in a vm
there is a need to correct attention to detail
and the ability to debug a problem without formatting
Installed conky on ubuntu 12.10 gnome 3. Followed all instructions but when i start conky this is the output                    /proc/acpi/battery/BAT1/state: No such file or directory..what do I do?
Indeed there is no such file called BAT1
otherwise, I'm going to stick with "If you don't know why you're changing it, don't change it." :)
i can change the rtl with flstudio also remap the bpm without effecting the track
??
ghostconn: no
so how do i prevent conky from going into an infinite loop looking for this file?
ikonia: we all had to learn somewhere, and making mistakes is a great way to learn
dougbb: I didn't say making a mistake was a problem
can i add sudo required programs to a list that auto runs them through sudo?
and vms are a great way to minimize the impact of those mistakes
ikonia: yeah, I saw what you said
dougbb: if you can't copy and paste correctly, running a vm is out of scope
so i dont need to type the sudo prefix when not a su
yes you can?? on any basic piano rool you can remap the bpm and midi functions lol have you ever used this software
I don't get it though, it worked beforehand
ghostconn: it will fail as it still needs access to the clock to keep time internally
Does there need to be a space between separate lines?
ikonia: there is no need to be negative ... I'd rather focus on trying to help the person learn something
Like, start at the end of a line, press enter twice, then paste it?
dougbb: I'm not being negative, I'm being real, if you can't copy and paste a line, then running a vm is out of scope
Or enter once?
Xanthippus: genuine question, why are you trying to set shared memory ?
Xanthippus: ... you're pushing me over into ikonia's camp :)
well what's your email because ill bet you 50$ that by the end of the week ill have a track made without you're help
lol
$50
It still is looking for the missing variable and it has been running for over 10 minutes...:'(
ikonia: Trying to do this: http://www.thefanclub.co.za/how-to/how-secure-ubuntu-1204-lts-server-part-1-basics
Xanthippus: why ?
Xanthippus: what do you hope to achieve setting shared memory ?
Preventing attacks to httpd among ohers I guess
Xanthippus: why will that prevent and attack ?
Lmmex
Lemme look for the articles
Xanthippus: you're doing something just reading an article blind
Xanthippus: just leave it alone unless you have a genuine reason to change it
or you understand it enough to make a decision
Oh it's in the guide itself
yes but you don't know why you're doing it
you're just typing things blindly because a guide tells you to
:-/
My main goal is to make my server secure, is that too much to ask?
yes, if you are just typing things blind
Xanthippus: the problem is that since you don't know the ramifications of what you're doing, you don't have a context for judging whether you are making it more secure, or less secure
you should also look at the bit on one of the pages that you posted where it says that the Ubuntu security team disagrees with some of those recommendations
Sounds like doing that makes it less secure then
what command to see my system info like rams and etc
????
(Shared memory)
linux attracts people who like to fiddle with stuff (myself included). but knowing when to stop fiddling and let the system do its job is also an important skill if you want to get real work done
kristoffer: "top"
kristoffer: "free" as I told you earlier
kristoffer, there's also "free -m" to see Free RAM and Swap
In megabytes
There's "df -h"
TO see disk space
Okay, so since secured memory sounds like a bad idea to you guys, what _can_ I do to make it more secure?
Xanthippus: did you not listen to what's being said ?
Hey guys. Does anyone know if the ubuntu devs are considering putting LUK in ubuntu by default? Or if they are at least making it an optional install?
i have a second hard drive installed in my system /dev/sdb mounted as /media/storage, how would i make that rw for all users?
Xanthippus: you have to understand/have experience
Xanthippus: there is no "do this and it's secure"
I know that's
furian, what filesystem is it?
Xanthippus: best way to increase security is to not run services you don't need .... other than that, it's experience, like ikonia said
ext4
I just want it to be secure from basic hacking techniques
Xanthippus: you're not listening
do you need to see the fstab line?
furian, then you just chmod o+rw /media/storage
Such as brute forcing passwords etch
etc*
Xanthippus: you're just reading things off the internet
furian, that may not be desirable though as it allows user X to delete a folder created by user Y
ikonia: Trying to get what "experience" I can
Hey guys. Does anyone know if the ubuntu devs are considering putting LUK in ubuntu by default? Or if they are at least making it an optional install?
Xanthippus: right, so there you go, try things, learn what's good/bad and why
its for a general storage and backup drive, i am the only user
Xanthippus: what passwords are you worried about people brute-forcing?
escott, ^
Mainly ssh
Xanthippus: get hacked, learn how they got in, what the damage was
Xanthippus: it's all just experience
Xanthippus: make the passwords long (20 characters) and complicated (not just letter/number) and you will be fine from bruteforce
There were a couple of attempts already isoniazid
furian, in that case it might just be easier to chown it to yourself with chown username:username /media/storage
Xanthippus: ok, the recommendation to only allow ssh authentication using ssh keys on one of those pages was a good one
Xanthippus: how ?
my husband upgraded his ubuntu from 10.10 to 10.12, now his yahoo mail attachments that he sends me, won't open. is that Ubuntu or Firefox or what?
nickymabolin: I was thinking RSA keys, which I did
Xanthippus: what where these attemps (please don't say ssh brute force)
Xanthippus: pm'd you
thank you
that did the trick
chalcedony, won't open... meaning what? what kind of attachments?
That was it, ikonia
Xanthippus: come on.....
Let me guess, I get kicked  -_-
nickymabolin: you have to assume hackers have an infinite amount of time and resources, so thinking that anything is safe from brute force attack is a bad idea
Xanthippus: everyone gets those
xubuntu 12.1 is rather snappy on this old machine
Xanthippus: they are just dumb bots cycling through known passwords/usernames
dougbb, if you assume that there isn't any point in securing anything
Xanthippus: think about it logcially - how can you defend against them
dougbb: do the math though....it doesn't matter how much time they have because when you itnroduce enough variables it could accelerate the amount of time it would take for them to crack the pw to beyond the age of the universe
escott: sure there is ... the goal is to make your system harder to crack than average, so that they spend time elsewhere :)
nickymabolin: A) that thinking isn't accurate, for reasons outside the scope of this channel, and B) what if they get lucky?
dougbb, which contradicts your assumption. if they have infinite resources they attack all computers at the same time
dougbb: the point of security is not to make something absolutely unhackable. Everything is hackable on some level. The point of security is to make so many barriers that attempting to break past them is kinda pointless...like my password idea
With something like ssh, requiring authentication using keys is the answer
ikonia: RSA keys...
hey guys, how do i know if my ati drivers are installed correctely?
dougbb: How is that not accurate? IF they get lucky then you obviously didn't choose a good password
Xanthippus: ok good, that's one idea
yokobr, what is the output of "glxinfo | grep -i renderer"
nickymabolin: but requiring ssh keys is better/safer than your password idea, and comes at no cost :)
dougbb: I never said it wasnt better. I was just giving advice lol
dougbb: I didn't know it was ssh
escott: you can choose to go reductio ad absurdum if you want, that doesn't make my point any less valid
ikonia: How bout fail2ban
escott, X Error of failed request:  BadRequest (invalid request code or no such operation)
Xanthippus: another good idea,
yokobr, then its not installed correctly
Xanthippus: this is what I mean about looking at the problem, working out the risk and minimising it
rather than just typing things blind
how do i do that? i've followed the guide, installed fglrx
nickymabolin: in any case, your advice about passwords is old thinking ... https://xkcd.com/936/
Well I had fail2ban before, again, not the first time
Xanthippus: got to be careful though as set it up wrong and it will open a bigger hole
dougbb: oh shi-
Xanthippus: so again, understand the problem, understand how to minimise it, then understand the implementation of the solution
How so, ikonia
dougbb, the style of the statement is in the style of the statements that are common in the cryptography community. but its a ridiculous thing to say in that community (assume the attacker can perform X flops, or that the attacker can factor primes in X time etc). you clearly mean it in some other sense... not sure what sense that is or what you want it to mean.
Xanthippus: how so what ?
I just setup a jail for ssh
ikonia: How would it make a hole?
yokobr, what guide did you follow?
Xanthippus: think about it, if you are under attack, that's a lot of connections, if you set the retention policy wrong, it will make a list of rules that is longer than your machine can handle.,
Xanthippus: it will dos your own service by making the firewall too big for your syste m
nickymabolin: yeah ... there are some other, more scientific papers that discuss that theory, but I think the comic makes the point very effectively :)
Xanthippus: or the load of adding/removing rules if you set it too short,
And how to un-dos?
escott, we both have Yahoo mail, he mails the laptop (my account) in order to print from open office .doc(s), but my Yahoo mail can't open them, it just sits here trying and apparently times out, i don't know how to see an error in Yahoo mail.
dougbb: indeed it does.
Does a Linux equivalent of Adobe Lightroom exist, by any chance? I am seeking to migrate from the Windows platform and am looking for an application with similar functionality. Nothing like Photoshop/GIMP, an application focused on photo manipulation for photographers.
a linux testosterone fest?
"un dos" come on
Doesn't fail2ban ban IPs if they connect too much?
Xanthippus: if you don't understnad what you're doing - you shouldn't be doing it
Xanthippus: correct,
Xanthippus: how does it ban them
from ubuntu docs
Adds them to a config file...?
escott
Xanthippus: no, it adds a firewall (iptables) rule
Xanthippus: and where is that iptables rule kept ?
chalcedony, so you click on the attachment in yahoo and say "download" and what happens
mengazo: not TMK, although I'd be interested if there were :)
yokobr, can you actually send me the link of what you followed
In /etc/iptables or where iptables config is kept...?
Xanthippus: no, in ram
:face palm:
Xanthippus: the iptables rules are kept in ram
Xanthippus: so think about it, if you don't have a regular flush pattern and you keep adding more rules
mengazo: ristretto has some nice features, as well as geeqie, but nothing with the kind of features that lightroom does
I think I might be needing to replace my Dell Mini 10 Netbook soon. What might be a more powerful yet portable smaller laptop for the job to run Ubuntu on?
escott the twirly circle thing shows for a while and vanishes. the attachment doesn't open.
designbybeck: I have ASUS Eee PC 1000HE, it's pretty good
Xanthippus: 1.) the list will become big and eat your ram 2.) every packet that comes in needs to be checked against that massive list, making it eat resources c.) every packet needs to be checked, slowing down your interface d.) your firewall can crash blocking everything
chalcedony, sounds like a problem with your browser/yahoo
Xanthippus: see what I mean about not understanding can create a bigger hole ?
that's just one easy example
dougbb: Hmmm, perhaps I could virtualize Windows and use Lightroom, in the meantime. A lack of software support is one issue I have with Linux, unfortunately
Thank you Xanthippus, I wonder if my bro in law still has his i can steal away!
lol
escott, i didn't change anything on my side.
mengazo, people who like adobe are often unhappy with any alternatives that get suggested
escott, its something that happened with him changing ubuntu or new firefox
escott: You honestly can't blame them lol
Xanthippus: see the point I'm trying to hilight to you ?
Okay.
I'm gonna need me some help with my Android Tablet.
It's a Pandigital.
It only takes one finger on the touch screen at a time
Like when I try to play a game it won't let me press a and b at the same time
ikonia: What's a more extreme example?
Help?
Hishamoto_Masuki: how is this anything to do with ubuntu ?
hi, is there a way to copy a less buffer to system clipboard?
I just need help :/
And can these flush patterns be scheduled?
Xanthippus: there are many, but if you don't consider dos'ing yourself extreme....
less, as in the unix/gnu utility
ikonia: Would you know how?
Hishamoto_Masuki: we only support ubuntu here, sorry
mengazo, to some extent you can. they get used to doing it one particular way, and then throw a fit when a single tool works differently. sure you may be used to it and it may be efficient for you but why are you trying something different then?
mmk.
Then I do need help with Ubunut
*Ubuntu
Hishamoto_Masuki: in what way ?
or is there an easier way to copy a file's contents to the system clipboard?
upgrayeddd, you can dump the buffer to a file
I'm upgrading to 12.04 as we speak
:)
escott: that's what I've done
From Xubuntu 10.04
but I need to copy the file escott
escott: no X, on server
Is it going to switch operating systems? Will it delete my files?
Hishamoto_Masuki: which files ?
My desktop files, my music, etc
upgrayeddd, then what clipboard are you talking about?
Hishamoto_Masuki: shouldn't do
I backed it up just in case, but will it?
Good.
Also
escott: system one on the server
hishamoto_masuki, what the problem was ?
upgrayeddd, trick question then. there is no clipboard
I needed help with my Android Tablet :/
escott: for example, I have a shortcut of copying tmux buffer to clipboard from system on server
Hishamoto_Masuki: I'll tell you one more time - we don't support that here
escott: there is...
Blackshirt asked me something, Ikonia
upgrayeddd, tmux may have some kind of buffer but bash doesn't
I wasn't talking to anyone in particular, he asked what was my first problem
escott: I am using zsh, does this make a difference?
Except him
ok
escott: You do bring up a good point. In that particular case, I would have to assume that most wouldn't want to add in the extra time to adjust to a different application, when they already use another one that already works perfectly for them
upgrayeddd, possibly
chalcedony, not sure what to tell you, and we would need more details about exactly how your husband is attaching his files
escott, he clicks on attach in firefox
er Yahoo mail in fireofx
mengazo, which is reasonable... but if thats ones feeling then why ask for an alternative...
escott: My whole reason for even considering migrating to another computing platform solely has to do with my concerns over the future of the Windows platform and my dissatisfaction of Windows 8/RT
chalcedony, firefox works. if there is a problem then its with yahoo. it could be yahoo interacting with his firefox or your browser... but its on the yahoo side
mengazo, you're wise
escott: So I'm seeking alternatives, including Ubuntu
chalcedony, you could look at the email source and see if the attachment body is missing. perhaps yahoo is failing to attach the file he uploads to the email so there is a reference to the attachment but no contents.
ikonia: Just one more thing before I probably nuke myself with shared memory again: back to what you said, where would I get the experience you described?
Xanthippus: time
Xanthippus: research, time, experience
Which I am currently trying to do
Xanthippus: with respect you don't seem to be, you seem to be just typing things blind
Research = http://www.thefanclub.co.za/how-to/how-secure-ubuntu-1204-lts-server-part-1-basics
I didnt just do that one
btw
mengazo, if you want those particular programs the best thing you can do is write to adobe/macneil/maya whatever and say "i really want to switch platforms and ditch windows, and would like to buy your product on that platform"
Xanthippus: no, that's typing that guide blind
Xanthippus: just doing guides isn't research or experience
typing blind is very bad
:-/
The guide isn't at least a good start?
no
as you are just typing things blind and possibly doing more damage than good
chalcedony, the only other thing i can think of would be is if the files he creates with libreoffice are subtly different and cannot be opened by your version of word, but in that case the file would download first
Okay, then point me to a "good start"
Xanthippus: do what I told you
and do it over a long time so you gain experience
You said research, but I have no idea where I am supposed to start
mengazo: in some cases the software you want will only be available on 1 platform, and in some cases  there are suitable alternatives in linux that just require a bit of re-learning
Xanthippus: books, the web, university papers
upgrayeddd, http://superuser.com/questions/421463/why-does-ctrl-v-notpaste-in-bash-linux-shell
mengazo: if what you want though is good software + !windows, think seriously about a mac
Okay then, thanks for the_real_crimper  advice
dougbb: That's what I was thinking, as well, honestly. Sadly, I honestly feel as though Linux has a long way to go before it can enter the mainstream. Relying on a terminal to tweak any segment of a distro is simply inadequate for today's computing standards, in 2012
The advice*
iPad inserted name
oh so help me
upgrayeddd, so getting back to your question. bash has "kill ring" but its not a clipboard in any meaningful sense. if you open vim and vim takes over the tty session. you probably can't paste from the bash kill ring
mengazo: as a geek I tend to disagree with you on that, but I understand your perspective as it applys to a more general audience :)
and no I do not want to take a semester long class in xubuntu
linx unix etc.
mengazo: but when it comes to debugging, or lesser-used features, even windows sometimes tells you to open up a terminal :)
I'm currently trying to get the script to work... It's supposed to extract the link to the mp3s on the page, but a pipe is breaking somewhere, and I'm not sure if my regex is correct... http://pastebin.com/TKgp9Gfq Any thoughts?
upgrayeddd, i live in X so i've never tried this in an actual tty... but its not a built in feature
dougbb: I'm certainly a geek myself, as well, but at times, you just want to keep life simple lol
I am told to make a command
in the command prompt
mengazo: that's why I have switched to ubuntu :)
Windows has a balance of that
on the dash shit how many steps do I need to know
Guest18221: that language is unacceptable, please stop
and the xubuntu friendly thing to add a program is a joke
Guest18221: what is your question
and I can't take the tutorial because flash won't load and
it wouldn't matter cause I can't turn on any sound.
Guest18221: what is your question
dougbb: Ubuntu has come a long way since I started using it in 2007, I'll certainly give it credit for that
Hello
Help with this? http://pastebin.com/TKgp9Gfq
Perhaps?
perlhelp: try #bash
perlhelp, is there  a question in any of this?
Just give me a moment...
dougbb: It's just that when you've grown up using a certain platform, it's hard to jump ship. I have such an emotional attachment to Windows. That's why it's even been hard to even purchase tablets with Android or iOS. It's not the same
mengazo: actually you reminded me of a question I have ... I recently switched to compiz under xubuntu, and on firefox my window decorations keep disappearing. Does anyone have a suggestion for that? The solutions I was able to find with searching were not effective.
Guest18221: could it be that flash is not installed?
mengazo: yes, but on the bright side, by learning new systems you improve your brain :)
Guest18221, rather than list a bunch of complaints you might pick one thing you want to fix. do a little experimentation, and then come to us with a better defined question
thank you for being the self appointed "us"
dougbb: If you're working in IT, that's always a plus!
escott: ok thanks, I just used sftp to move file over and view+copy/paste that way locally with X
Guest18221: do you have a question about ubuntu, yes/no ?
I would like to install flash to begin with.
please, could someone help me installing ati drivers?
is this where i ask questions about the website? or is there another channel for that?
amayer: about what website ?
..the ubuntu website
yeah and I have both uninstalled and reinstalled flash and yet firefox continues to let me know that I need to install flash.
yokobr: Before we can help we need you to answer the questions we ask. Could you please link to the exact guide you followed?
amayer: you can try here, or you may get directred to #ubuntu-website
Guest18221: how did you install it ?
Google Chrome keeps killing itself when trying to play youtube in ubuntu 10.04
ikonia: thanks
I used the ubuntu software library.

whois er_prashant
:-)
Is anybody can help me with a problem of starting the instance on openstack??
hi ikonia
I am not sure how to show you the name other than flash.
Guest18221: please do "dpkg -l | grep -i flash"
mengazo: the other thing that using multiple platforms does for you is that it helps you see problems to be solved in a more general way, and helps you avoid thinking in terms of "how do I run _this_ program"
Guest18221: show me the output in a pastebin please.
I am in the most currentxubuntu and whatever the flash that is show there.
Guest18221: Get flash from adobe.com and follow instructions
and for an IT person, it also helps promote your job security :)
yokobr: Earlier you said that you "followed the guide, installed fglrx" but the guide you linked to is for the "Radeon" driver, not for fglrx.
I did try to get it from flash itself I chose deb
the aechive mge. downloads
The last perl regex match is failing in the following script, plus I'm not sure whether or not I'm going about it the write way. I'm trying to extract links from the pages and display them. http://pastebin.com/TKgp9Gfq
then I see a series of files.
Guest18221: please do "dpkg -l | grep -i flash"
Guest18221: show me the output in a pastebin please.
dougbb: Amen to that. I couldn't agree more lol
Is anybody can help me with a problem of starting the instance on openstack??
ah, sorry, i just picked the purple link from google.. well, i just done a sudo apt-get install fglrx, but it didn't worked.. so i tryed to install the binary driver from ati website
Jordan_U cd /var/lib/dkms/fglrx/8.97.100.3/build; sh make.sh --nohints --uname_r=3.5.0-18-generic --norootcheck......(bad exit status: 1) [Error] Kernel Module : Failed to build fglrx-8.97.100.3 with DKMS [Error] Kernel Module : Removing fglrx-8.97.100.3 from DKMS
how do I do that line you showed me?
Guest18221: open a termina, and type it
Guest18221: then put the output into pastebin.ubuntu.com in a web browser
Google Chrome keeps killing itself when trying to play youtube in ubuntu 10.04
how do I open a terminal
er_prashant: Try explaining the actual problem you're having, with complete error messages if any. If you don't get any response here after a few minutes try #openstack.
dougbb: Playing around with multiple platforms is beneficial in many ways. I simply see it as expanding technical knowledge and, as you've mentioned, securing your job position lol
Guest18221: alt+f2 and type "terminal"
ikonia, Guest18221 is running xubuntu. he needs to find it in the menu
ikonia, right?
escott: oh, xubuntu, sure
how can i majk my computer play a dubstep sound when my computer is turned on
yokobr: What link did you get that from? Why aren't you using the "Additional Drivers" tool to install fglrx?
kristoffer: At the login screen, or after login?
Jordan_U, couldn't find it on xubuntu
Jordan_U no at startup when starting computer so it less boring
yokobr: go to the software center and then search for/install jockey
yokobr, are you running 12.10 or something older?
Jordan_U i want it to play eatch different song from my musics folders every time
it will drag some kde stuff in though, FYI
I have installed openstack on Ubuntu 12.04 server. but when i try to launch a instance, it launches the instance with task as error and state as scheduled, any idea's anyone to resolve this??
yokobr: If I remember correctly, it's in System>Administration. If I'm remembering that wrong you can always also run "jockey-gtk" from a terminal (*without* sudo).
dougbb already done that, but it won't start or give any error
it looks like a straight line in that prompt and I can't find that on my keyboard
escott, 12.10
yokobr, jockey was removed in 12.10 its not part of software sources
now
Guest18221: cut and paste it from this
dpkg -l | grep -i flash
ok sorry Jordan
I have installed openstack on Ubuntu 12.04 server. but when i try to launch a instance, it launches the instance with task as error and state as scheduled
escott, so how do i install it now?
so can anyone help please??
yokobr, so start "software sources" and the last tab is "additional drivers"
er_prashant: asking every 30 seconds won't help it just gets annoying
er_prashant: leave it a while between asking
yokobr: Jordan_U had a good point, you want jockey-gtk :)
dougbb, jockey is not present in yokobr's release. it was removed in 12.10 and up
escott: I have 12.10 :)
dougbb, i don't have it, it's 12.10... and it's xubuntu, i can't find software sources too
although it's not impossible that I added the repo that includes it to the stock install
dougbb, but its not part of the standard install. i think you get it if you had it earlier, but they are moving away from it
Google Chrome keeps killing itself when trying to play youtube in ubuntu 10.04
escott: well this was a clean install
Has anyone here used e4defrag ?
oh found it!
TommehM: so maybe there's a Google Chrome bug?
how do i directly copy something from an xchat line?
Guest18221: highlight it, got to "copy" from the edit menu
time to unignore Guest18221 :-)
I have installed openstack on Ubuntu 12.04 server. but when i try to launch a instance, it launches the instance with task as error and state as scheduled
Guest33953: then middle mouse button into the terminal
ioexception: don't need a commentary of who you ignore/not
er_prashant: chances are that no one here knows the answer
try #openstack
dougbb, https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/quantal/i386/jockey-gtk

dougbb: One other application that has prevented me from fully switching operating systems, as well: Foobar2000; only on Windows, sadly :/
ioexception, Maybe.
I've been waiting patiently for a Mac and Linux equivalent :(
ubottu: If e4defrag ;then ; how does it work for you ; fi
dougbb, i'm saying look at that link. also run "dpkg -L jockey-gtk" you will see no binary in the output. there is no jockey-gtk for a 12.10 user to run
Tux_1: e4defrag does exactly what it's supposed to.
escott: got it :)
Jordan_U: Thanks for the reply, e4defrag did not destroy your data ?
dougbb, canonical does a terrible job of announcing these kinds of changes... it kinda drives me crazy
when i go here: (i click the download link on the homepage and click "download 12.10 32 bit" on the download page)
http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/questions?distro=desktop&bits=32&release=latest
and click the link that says "Not now, take me to the download"
it points me here:
http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/thank-you?distro=desktop&bits=32&release=lts
mengazo: foobar should run with wine, time to switch
Tux_1: No. If it destroyed data it wouldn't have been released as part of e2fsprogs or shipped in Ubuntu.
amayer: http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop
almoxarife: Buh bye, Windows
ikonia: i go there and click "downlod 12.10"
the link "not now, take me to download" leads me to a download page for 12.04
Jordan_U: Thanks, the only info I could find on  google said it was still beta
amayer: it doesn't
I am not touching Ubuntu until they get their act together
right now the only sane choices are Xubuntu, and to an extent Kubuntu
when i click the link it asks me to save a file with 12.04 in the title
Tux_1: You're welcome.
ikonia: go to the link you gave me and try and download the 32 bit version.
the "not now take me to download" link points to the long term support version
amayer: no it doesn't
dude i just did it.
amayer: if you click "get 12.10" it will take you to 12.10, if you click "get 12.04 LTS" it will get 12.04
amayer: what is your goal?
...interesting. when i press ctrl+f5 now it points me to the latest downlod
you clicked the wrong link
no i clicked the first orange button that said download 12.10
amayer: There are many rotating mirrors, one mirror might have had an incorrect link.
sorry for the confusion, now my file is downloading correctly
can i ask general linux questions here? or is there a better channel for that?
amayer, depends on the question itself
amayer:  /join ##linux
2 #'s?
yes
it's twice as good :)
escott: i have a question about setting up a mutil-boot linux/linux/linux system
ill check in ##linux
amayer : mutil-boot ? What is it?
wrong type ?
putting ubuntu, debian, and crunchbang on the same computer
amayer, not enough to really nail things down. it depends on what bootloaders and what distros you want to have
amayer, but if you question is "how do i boot fedora using the ubuntu bootloader" thats reasonable for both fedora and ubuntu channels
escott: right now i have ubuntu installed on my laptop. i have 3 other 10Gb partitions. the next distro i want to install is debian. im wondering if i should have made a /boot partition, or if i need 2 boot partitions? ive never done a multi-boot system before
amayer, if you have an EFI system then each of those can put their own version of grub-efi in the efi partition and you can just select from the menu. otherwise you have to pick one to be the primary grub and then the issue is how to get the boot parameters from distro X into the config managed by distro Y
is efi a file system? is this like a /boot partition?
ada beberapa type
amayer, how old is the laptop and who manufactured it?
escott: is a compaq and its like 2 years old
amayer, then its not EFI (almost certainly)
soo... how do i go about setting up mutli-boot(linux only, no windows) i googled it and only found windows and linux dual boot senarios
amayer, when you install debian make sure debian does not install its bootloader to /dev/sda. you might be able to install the debian bootloader to /dev/sda# where # is the debian partition number (ie to the PBR instead of the MBR) this is less stable but grub should be able to chainload grub
so i want to make a seperate partition and make all of my distros install their boot loaders to that partition?
amayer, so where things get confusing on the multi-boot linux is that debian is configured to manage its own bootloader. so when debian gets a new kernel it updates /boot/grub/grub.cfg in debian's /boot, but the real /boot is the /boot for ubuntu because the grub on the mbr looks at ubuntu's grub.
amayer, now os-prober is smart enough to see the other kernels and os'es and will generate entries for them... but won't be auto-updated by debians getting a new kernel
escott: so i want to make 1 /boot partition and make all distros use the same partiton?
amayer, and those entries may not have all the entries one would like them to have (ie you make a modification to the boot options in debian... not sure how/if those get over to ubuntus /boot)
amayer, you definitely don't want that... because then each distro stomps on each others grub.cfg
amayer, the ideal thing would be a single /boot... with multiple grub.cfg (ie a grub.fedora.cfg and a grub.debian.cfg) that grub puts together to make the real configuration... but i dont think grub has any ability to do that
escott: i guess what i dont understand is grub. how do i get grub to let me pick which system im going to boot at start up?
i dont actually know what the best way to deal with the issues are... im just trying to make you aware of them
amayer, as it stands you will have the option to boot debian/crunchbang. just install debian. don't let it install a bootloader. boot ubuntu, rerun "update-grub" and os-prober will automatically pick up on the existence of the other linux distros
amayer: that's grub's job, it gives you a menu of things to boot, prior to any OS starting up
you will see an option for the other distros when you boot.... it just may not always be in sync (ie debian gets a new kernel) with the other system until you run update-grub
so if ubuntu is the first operating system i installed. i should install the other operating systems. then boot to ubuntu and run update-grub and the next time i boot it will ask me which of the 3 distros i want to boot
?
yes
amayer, yes.
and try escott's suggestion of installing the other distros without grub, if they give you that option
amayer, but if the other linux distros install their version of grub to the mbr... then its their responsibility to see ubuntu
amayer, and you may have to do something in them to make them see ubuntu
only one OS can control the boot (with mbr, efi is different but you almost certainly dont have that)
amayer, best thing to do would be to install your os last
amayer: install ubuntu last
you might also want to consider kvm if you just want to play around with other linux distros
and let _it_ install grub
that ^^^ is assuming you want ubuntu to be the primary (default) linux you will be using
or, if you already have ubuntu installed, you may have to follow the "zomg, how do I fix grub?" instructions :)
escott: right
but ubuntu's grub seems to suck the least
i do want ubuntu to be the default. but i need debian and i want a 3rd system to test other linux distros
o.O
amayer, depending on what you mean by "test" and how powerful this laptop is, virtualization might be easier for you
amayer, if your laptop
Has Intel VT-x
amayer, i think you better stick with some virtualization solutions ...virtualbox was great one and available on reposutory
I installed openjdk on ubuntu and now need jps... any suggestions?
would like to avoid installing sunjdk just for jps
Or AMD Virtualization sipport
You might want to enable it in BIOS and just Virtualize some OSes
the laptop only has 1.5Gb ram and is an AMD 32 bit processor idk if it will run vitual too well
I Compiled new kernel and switch to this , but consoles [tty1-6] (Ctrl+Alt+F[123456]) not work !
How can find problem and fix it ?
compile new kernel (3.6.4)
mah454, (a) why are you compiling your own kernel (b) its probably a modesetting issue
well its late here. i will try the stuff you guys sugessted and come back if i have an epic fail. thanks
escott: what mode ?
mah454, do you have nvidia graphics?
escott: yes
escott: i must rebuild nvidia module ?
mah454, yes you must
I will come back ...
hi i'm getting this error whenever i try to apt-get install or upgrade: E: Couldn't configure pre-depend upstart-job for hostname, probably a dependency cycle.
i seem to be missing xinetd
asoltys_, missing xinetd? why do you want xinetd?
i was getting errors that mentioned it, after running apt-get install -f for example
asoltys_, perhaps some package pulled it in
any ideas about the upstart-job message? google isn't being very helpful..
asoltys_, i think what is happening is that it is trying to install hostname. hostname installs an upstart-job as part of pre-depend
that is failing in some way
apt-get purge fails with messages about xinetd as well
try removing xinetd?
asoltys_, well you certainly should not purge a required package. thats a bad idea
where do i find the xorg config file?         12.04

not there :(
I have an external HDD coupled via USB port. The systems does not seem to see the HDD. Well this is sporadic, sometiems it sees sometimes not. Any ideas?
dfgas-cr48, use nvidia means nvidia+proprietary drivers
maybe this is why i have video tearing
hmmmm
oupateddie, plug in the USB and look at dmesg | tail -n 20
stand by
i will have to change windows managers then, right now its just booting to xbmc
dfgas-cr48: locate a file with this much of the file name in it 'xorg.conf' , use the 'locate' command, tell me what you find
escott - device descriptor read/64, error -71 is displayed on the first line followed by
new full speed USB device number 12 using uhci_hcd
oupateddie, can you paste the whole thing to paste.ubuntu.com
hmm, what do i do with powertop to find out power usage?
stand by
oupateddie, ideally run "dmesg | tail -n ##" and keep increasing ## until there is a gap in the numbers on the left
Guest8798: There isn't enough information available to the OS to actually determine the exact power usage of your computer.
escott -  have pasted
Guest8798: Hopefully one day we'll have smart power supplies or similar in most computers, but that isn't the case today.
oupateddie, i need the link :)
sorry http://paste.ubuntu.com/1349812/
Guest8798, you can run powertop, it will show what processes are keeping the CPU busy,  there are a few tunables, but the bulk of the energy usage is probably coming from your graphics card
graphics card?
escott: i pasted my xinetd issue too, any suggestions?
Guest8798: what kind of graphics do you have?
asoltys_: what about removing xinetd?
dougbb: i tried, see http://paste.debian.net/208227/
ati hd4570
seems like a bit of a catch-22 situation :)
asoltys_, the way i would deal with that issue is to go into /var/lib/dpkg/info/xinetd.prerm and comment out the "set -e" on the second line
isn't there a force option for apt-get?
oupateddie, you have to paste to us the link generated when you submit to paste.ubuntu.com
escott I have here it is again  http://paste.ubuntu.com/1349812/
escott: i don't see a set -e anywhere in that file: http://paste.debian.net/208229/
oupateddie, the device is bad... can't say much more about it than that
asoltys_, remove the "-e" after the shebang (#!/bin/sh
ok, it is sporadic sometimes it works and then sometimes not, could it be the physical usb plug?
oupateddie, maybe
oupateddie, if its wobbling around and not making a solid electrical contact maybe
thanks
oupateddie, could also be that the chip on the disk is overheating and bonking out
oupateddie, put it in the freezer for a few minutes...
will tryn that but it is still cool here, it is early morning here in Africa\
cool in africa :)
Anybody familiar with psybnc in here?
well 20C is still cool
not cool with core temps at 96C here :(
its so hot its heating up the room :E
20c?
* almoxarife does not know 'c'
20 degrees Celsuis
escott: ok, done.  and was able to remove xinetd now.  still can't install packages though: http://paste.debian.net/208231/
asoltys_, no wonder you got problems: "The following packages will be REMOVED: sysvinit"
asoltys_, maybe try to install upstart... i dunno. sysvinit... perhaps have an exorcism... or just burn it
yeah, i got problems. this was a new vps that supposedly had 12.04 but the apt sources were for hardy and lsb_release reported it as being hardy.  i replaced the apt sources with 12.04 ones and think i ran dist-upgrade or something and now it's FUBAR'd.  i'll ask them to burn it
asoltys_, yeah you did that wrong. proper command is do-release-upgrade... you cant just swap out sources.list
asoltys_, nuke it and try again
okey doke, thanks for your time!
cool, thanks
hello i have removed pulseaudio i would like to know how to reinstall it
pika, apt-get install pulseaudio
pika, aptitude reinstall blablabla
thats not going to get everything back for you though. you might check your dpkg logs
escott : i did this bu the icon is still not showing
mahesa ?
escott: when i type "pulseaudio" in terminal its tells me the deamon is already running
thats not going to get everything back for you though. you might check your dpkg logs
escott: how ?
pika, you removed a core system functionality... doing so triggered the removal of lots of other stuff... you have to go put all that back too. /var/log/dpkg.log
escott oh i see
pika, you could try and shortcut the process by reinstalling ubuntu-desktop with a fix-dependencies option... not sure exactly what that would be
Is there a clever way to stop the proliferation of ~/.goutputstream files?
hey, every so often I completely lose a window in unity and can't find it with super+w, alt tab, or even switching workspaces, or double clicking the launcher icon

so im trying to compile something ('make release') from source and it says 'sound/core.h: no such file or directory'  if I do a apt-file I see that linux-headers have this file, however these are already installed.. the file that references this has the line #include <sound/core.h>... any ideas?
happy birthday to me :)
hi everybody
hello..It was verry ver sad morning today..accidently deleted all my phone contact  today..please advice me to recover my contcat using any sotware
shuhaib what type of phone?
aaas, did the ./configure step not catch the path to the kernel?
Nokia
aaas, perhaps make sure that kernel-headers are installed for what is coming out of uname
escott there is no configure with this particuar source (musescore)
escott yes tried that
aaas ->it nokia phone
aaas, modify the makefile to include the search path/linker path
aaas, -l and -L
Noika n86
shuhaib sorry i dont know if it's a feature phone... you might be sol..maybe there's another channel not really an #ubuntu question
okey
can we sugget any recovery software for ubuntu
let me try on that
shuhaib unless you ever synced to outlook, facebook, etc... did you sync to ubuntu at some point? was it on a program or on the phone
any how its stores as csv file
maybe just go through your previous phone bill?
its in phone memory card
who is your service provider, shuhaib ?
shuhaib ah and you want to try and run data recovery software on the memory card?
Vodafone
you're S.O.L
yep..I want try to recver my data on memory
you can't
because the data was never destroyed
hi
shuhaib sorry I'm not familar, it depends on the filesystem type, but you would probably be better off just calling people
shuhaib just get on facebook or email and just send a mass email or something
what he lost was a very special Party Line number ... it wasn't a good friend, otherwise he'd just meet up with that person and get the number
shuhaib: First, don't get your hopes up because you probably won't be able to recover anything. That said, does the phone support a USB Mass Storage device mode, or can you read the memory card from a card reader (connected to a computer)?
In Tired couple of software available in windows asking but asking key
hi members need help. I want to remove directry using command ...rm -r /usr/lib/jvm    message comes dirctory is write protected and this directory consists many other directories...But I want to forecly remove it..So whic command should I use
yeah you kinda have to pay for stuff sometimes, shuhaib
There I could see my csv file.But I coudn't save my file as its trail version
talpur_: rm -f
shuhaib: your csv file is empty anyway
is there any software availabe in ubuntu to recover my file as free
talpur_: Why do you want to remove this directory?
nope
no it has file
shuhaib: the file exists. yeah. but it's empty.
it shows the file size as well
shuhaib: Presumably "4K"?
886 kb some thin it was showing
yes the file has reserved space
Jorden_U: from two days I want to install jre for eclipse , so for that I install differnt packages but could get the Purpose now I find the sloution so I want to remove it again make fresh installation for that
i'm telling you when you deleted your contacts, that file became empty. that is how it works
shuhaib http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1910791
shuhaib: First, don't get your hopes up because you probably won't be able to recover anything. That said, does the phone support a USB Mass Storage device mode, or can you read the memory card from a card reader (connected to a computer)?
shuhaib but it will almost certainly be easier emailing people
Jordan_U: from two days I want to install jre for eclipse , so for that I install differnt packages but could get the Purpose now I find the sloution so I want to remove it again make fresh installation for that
shuhaib: the link provided by aaas will not help you. in their issue they want to recover deleted files. but in your issue the file is not deleted.
talpur_: The proper way to do that would be by removing the packages with apt-get, not by removing the files that the packages installed.
My phone connected using USB
Jardan_U: I don't remeber how many packages I have installed theer in two days
But I don't have all people email..But I can do that in another way as well
shuhaib: You haven't answered my question. Is that because you didn't understand it or because you didn't see it?
No i answered
Jordan_U: I don't remeber how many packages I have installed theer in two days
Jordan_U
it does the phone support a USB Mass Storage device mode ..
talpur_: "dpkg -S /usr/lib/jvm/" will list all installed packages with files in /usr/lib/jvm/.
Jordan_U   it does the phone support a USB Mass Storage device mode ..
shuhaib: Please connect the phone in USBMS mode and pastebin the output of "sudo blkid".
Jordan_U: list comes..now what command should I use to remove those packages..like one package is ..openjdk-6-jre
I connected my phone using usb
and it shows the mass stoarage
pastebin the output of "sudo blkid". what does it mean  Jordan_U?
talpur_: sudo apt-get remove openjdk-6-jre
shuhaib: Are you booted into Ubuntu currently?
Jordan_U next step please
yep
talpur_: actually you should do "sudo apt-get purge <packagename>"
I am working ubuntu right now
ordan_U: I find the command from your previous Answer remove package....thats a lot for your kind help
shuhaib: Do you know how to run commands in the terminal?
talpur_: You're welcome.
crimsonmane: thanks a lot
yep
Sure
I know how to run
shuhaib: Run "sudo blkid", then copy and paste the output to http://pastebin.ubuntu.com and give us a link to the pastebin that creates.
shuhaib: Did you understand my last comment?
finally
hey folks, I am trying out banshee for my media player, and I can't get it to stay running long enough to listen to an entire song.  It crashes after a couple minutes (freezes and window goes dim).  I can't get the banshee process to kill.  Tried a couple kill -9 {pid} commands, but it's not doing the trick.  How do I get this process killed short of logging out/rebooting?
Hello
phunyguy_x1_: killall -9
crimsonmane, I did that.
phunyguy_x1_: pkill -9
killall uses "process name" not number, i think
nope.
i understand the kill commands.  THey just wont kill it
phunyguy_x1_: ps -e | grep bansh
it laughs in the face of killall
there are two labeled as [defunct]
hi people does anybody knows to how can I change the size of mplayers window by the hotkeys? thx
tozen, someone here may know, but #mplayer has some good folks in it
kill -9 <banshee process id>
phunyguy_x1_, 4example?
tozen: alt+space
crimsonmane, for the third time, I have done that
shuhaib_: Run "sudo blkid", then copy and paste the output to http://pastebin.ubuntu.com and give us a link to the pastebin that creates.
shuhaib_: Or, if you're not *very* motivated to get these contacts back, give up now.
crimsonmene, not this I mean x2, x4 smth like that
tozen: google "mplayer hotkeys"
I have never seen kill -9 not kill a process
especially as sudo
i got a purple screen freezing at boot, need reboot to login screen, how can i solve?
a process can be defunct, but at that point it isn't running. just impossible to remove from the process table.
hi all
processes can't ignore sigkill
tdignan, it is definitely ignoring it
is banshee still open?
crimsonmane, it's so easy to say... don't you think I've already tried?
have you ever tried ubuntu 12.10?
tozen: you'd be surprised
crimsonmane: ok, I'll try again lol
phunyguy_x1_: from man signal(7):   The signals SIGKILL and SIGSTOP cannot be caught, blocked, or ignored.
tozen: what i meant was, some people dont try first
i'm going to side with the man page.
tdignan, http://paste.ubuntu.com/1349907/
go ahead
phunyguy_x1_: defunct is different, it's not running. the process is dead and gone
crimsonmane: I'm habit to use an search machine first, pal
it's just that you can't remove the entry from the process table
it's fine. just leave it
phunyguy_x1_: now try "ps -e | grep bansh
what could cause a purple screen at boot to freeze? need hard shutdown to solve proper boot
crimsonmane, it is listed under ps -e
ok was just curious
the only way you're getting rid of a 'defunct' process is by rebooting.
tozen, hold winkey, there is a shortkey to resize any windows > alt middle mouse drag
tdignan, I cant get banshee to relaunch
phunyguy_x1_: i don't think it's related to the process table. can you pastebin the output of "strace banshee 2>log.txt"
actually "strace banshee &>log.txt" is best
there might be a pid file or something left behind that just needs to be rm'd
the strace may not show anything
phunyguy_x1_: Please pastebin the output of "pstree -p".
try it and see
if I run the banshee command by itself I just get a blinking cursor and no output
do the strace please.
gksudo banshee
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zombie_process <-- read more here.
OerHeks: dgag
wow it got full quick
I ctrl-c'd it
lots of lines
OerHeks: dragging isnota solution
did you not do the redirect!
phunyguy_x1_: &>log.txt <------ was an important part
nope ran it before you corrected
phunyguy_x1_: crimsonmane: Do *not* run banshee as root, that is a silly and possibly dangerous thing to do.
eh 2> shoulda done it as well
just 2> would allow banshee to output any of its own stdout
tozen then F11 full screen is your only option.
and redirect only the stderr (strace output in our case)
ok, thx
tdignan nothing changed, still lots of output that is cryptic.
phunyguy_x1_: you are supposed to pastebin that output and allow me to read it
because I understand it, it is not cryptic to me
man, this is like taking a horse to the stream and then forcing it to drink.
lol, ok... hang tight
it's interesting learning
crimsonmane: Recommending running commands as root, when they were clearly not designed to be, is irresponsible. Please be more careful in the future and only recommend running commands as root when you *know* that the command is designed to be run as root.
OerHeks: so here is no any options to get it double sized or triple for example?
phunyguy_x1_: apt-get install pastebinit if you want to be able to easily pastebin stuff from the command line
phunyguy_x1_: Please pastebin the output of "pstree -p".
pstree -p |pastebinit :P
Jordan_U: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/1349912/  plz see the link I have problem to remove the packages
Jordan_U: the objective was to run the program using default profile settings, ergo gksudo was in good recommendation
tdignan, http://paste.ubuntu.com/1349913/
crimsonmane: No, it was not. Not even close.
for diagnostics, it most certainly was
playing music while it's in gksudo perhaps would not be
crimsonmane: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/1349912/          see plz link purge not working to remove
Jordan_U, http://paste.ubuntu.com/1349916/
but opening a program in that fashion is useful diagnostics
crimsonmane: If you had recommended "gksudo -u some_other_unpriveleged_user" that would have been reasonable. Suggesting running an application like banshee as root was irresponsible, there is absolutely no question about it.
talpur_: the difference between purge and remove is purge will delete saved settings. you can also add the -f flag to --force the removal
crimsonmane: you're welcome to do whatever you want on your own box, but as a general recommendation in an open channel, it's a very bad idea
perhaps you both could spend some time reading the gksudo information. in a diagnostics approach my suggestion was fine.
whoa whoa whoa whoa
crimsonmane, even I know better
tisk tisk
phunyguy_x1_: have you tried killall -9 banshee
maybe there are some other processes you missed
yup, no go
maybe I should just reboot
crimsonmane: Yes I use that but the error is it couldn't locate the package and I am seeing it from ls that it is exited
but I am afraid it will keep happening
phunyguy_x1_: probably want to consider a different player :)
crimsonmane: I know exactly what gksudo does, and how it differs from plain sudo. That does not change the fact that it is not responsible to recommend running applications as root that were not designed to be run as root. If you'd like to continue this discussion please do so in #ubuntu-ops.
rrrrr "sound/core.h: No such file or directory" using 'make release' (musescore), no configure script, apt-file shows sound/core.h in header file.  /usr/src/linux/include (linux symbolic link to kernel headers the same as uname -a (except no -generic)) in path and ld_library_path, make clean and reestart make release still doesn't work..any ideas?
phunyguy_x1_: try mv ~/.config/banshee-1 ~/backup-banshee
then restart banshee
that's alright Jordan_U. I'll let you Nazi's have the final word. it's how these places are run after all.
restart it from a terminal, so you can see any clues it might print
dougb I am trying to... thats why I tried banshee
rhythmbox just will not do at all (playing music from cifs shares in gvfs)
phunyguy_x1_: kill 7282; kill 7584
and I need ipod management as well
Hi everyone, I'm looking forward to find a hook script which will be run after the X started. By the way, xinitrc/xsession don't work at all. Thanks.
Jordan_U, nope
phunyguy_x1_: If that doesn't do it, then "kill -9 7282; kill -9 7584".
how I remove OpenJDK from my system
no go Jordan_U
why,so you can make sure you're using the oracle jdk?
phunyguy_x1_: Did you get any error message from either of those commands?
Jordan_U, nope.
just change JAVA_HOME and PATH in your ~/.bash_profile. There is no need to remove the openjdk when your system software might be depending on it.
phunyguy_x1_: Can you pastebin the output of "pstree -p" again?
Jordan_U, http://paste.ubuntu.com/1349935/
do other apps that play audio work?
tdignan, yes
my issue with rhythmbox is importing from the fuse-mounted cifs share is painfully slow
phunyguy_x1_: I've never before seen a defunct process whose parent is init. That either indicates that something I'm not thinking about is going on, or something is terribly broken.
shouldnt be that time consuming to look at a few lines of metadata
Jordan_U, I hear ya
but yeah, with Rhythmbox I get import errors that are timeouts
it just takes too long
other apps pull in really fast but are missing features I need
phunyguy_x1, I have some errors with rhytmbox too. Mostly on collection scanning.
ghabit, is your music stored on a share?
phunyguy_x1, no, it's on local ntfs partition.
is the ntfs partition mounted via fuse?
(gvfs)
see where I am going?
hi guys i am running 12.10 and i followed the guide https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CanonCaptDrv190 to install my canon lbp 2900 printer , but not working :( , any working guide available ?
phunyguy_x1, sorry, I don't know how to answer your question. But I can give you /etc/fstab line, here it is: "/media/e was on /dev/sdb6 during installation
UUID=6E6A8B816A8B4535 /media/e        ntfs    defaults,umask=002,gid=46 0"
phunyguy_x1_: What made you think that it was defunct, rather than in an uninterruptible sleep (which is what 'D' in the process status means, 'Z' is defunct)?
Jordan_U, ps -axf | grep banshee listed it as <defunct>
ghabit nevermind then
phunyguy_x1_: That really is bizarre.
why isn't my compile script aware of my headers in /usr/src/linux-header
Jordan_U, yer tellin me, lol
aaas, probably lack of a -I
dougbb what do you use for music? (since you made that comment)
dougbb if I only have a makefile (no configure) using cmake any idea what I would modivy
modify*
phunyguy_x1_: We can try sending SIGCHLD to init to tell it to reap its children, but we really shouldn't need to do that (and I don't know if it will help).
phunyguy_ whatever xubuntu uses when I click on a music file :)
Jordan_U, I will reboot in a bit
phunyguy_x1_: But that's not as fun, we won't have solved the mystery :)
aaas: no idea, I hate cmake :)
well then
lol
phunyguy_ I've used rhythmbox in the past, it seemed ok
Is there a way to set unity so it will start on the applications lens?
I'm wondering if banshee is now suffering from the same symptom as your trial of rhythmbox did, and it's hung trying to close an fd
selamlar
:)
"close an fd"?
T3
close a file descriptor
ohh...
dougbb: Then it wouldn't be defunct though.
maybe i can remount the shares
share*
if the file system with your music is flaky, that could be what is causing the problem with both programs, but maybe banshee is handling it very poorly
Jordan_U: it definitely shouldn't be doing what it is doing now in any case :)
dougbb i dont think the filesystem is flaky, i think gvfs is flaky
from the client perspective, same difference
Is there a way to set unity so it will start on the applications lens? Please.
yup
phunyguy_x1_: I can't be sure that this won't have a terrible system stopping side effect, but I don't think it will. Try running "sudo kill -s CHLD 1".
worst that happens... I have to reboot?
lol
hello all i am not able to run the app gnome-media-player. can anyone help me run it successfully
phunyguy_x1_: Yes.
phunyguy_x1_: And lose all data in currently running applications.
worst that happens with that is that the system comes to a screeching halt ... make sure you don't have anything open you care about
gives some segmentation fault.
seems to have no effect Jordan_U
and no smoke from the side of the laptop
phunyguy_x1_: Please pastebin the complete output of "ps aux".
http://paste.ubuntu.com/1349958/
this is the error i get when i try to run gnome-media-player . http://pastebin.com/NUtx0vuF
phunyguy_x1_: Please file a bug report against upstart. As far as I can tell, upstart really should have reaped this process.
oh boy
not sure I know how
phunyguy_x1_: ubuntu-bug upstart
well I dont really know the issue
e
this is the error i get when i try to run gnome-media-player . http://pastebin.com/NUtx0vuF
no-need to repost murlidhar
fail
:P
phunyguy_x1_: Say that "PID 1, upstart, failed to reap one of its children (banshee)" and include the output of "ps aux" and "pstree -p". And please subscribe me (JordanU on launchpad) to the report.
phunyguy_x1_: i know . sorry about that  . i thought please missed it.
k
thanks for reminding me though :)
so here what you do ? take care of such people who make noise here ?
ah nevermind guys :) guess no one knows how to solve. take cares all . bye...
done Jordan_U
thanks for the assist
rebooting now
man this thing reboots fast =D

I will have to upgrade soon. I'm starting to get kinda wasteful with my browser tabs..
I use this for work...
unfortunately, lol
lol I have a Microsoft Surface waiting for me on Monday too *vomit*
maybe a little ram will fix the issue, but I think the CPU is the bottleneck here
may try to stick ubuntu on it
oh, I'm sorry to hear that
it might work as a coaster
hi
phunyguy_x1: Now I'm finding from #upstart that I was probably wrong it my assessment, so I might ask you to close that bug report :(

Heya. I'm currently running Ubuntu on a MacBook Pro 17" 5.2 (has two graphics cards with Nvidia 9600GT active). I installed Ubuntu using the amd64+mac Ubuntu 12.10 image. I am able to boot into the system after quite a bit of effort, however, after I enabled the nvidia-current drivers, the login screen does not appear. I am dropped directly into the login shell, which I can use. How do I get Ubuntu to show the login shell?
Also, Ubuntu has been set up to dual boot with Mac OS X Mountain Lion and I do have rEFInd installed to allow me to switch between the two operating systems.
Phase: hilarious. haha.
yesudeep: you mean you boot & it automatically logs you in to unity?
hello
nydel: :P it's just some minecraft worlds, I've been backing it up manually to my home machine, still might do that, but just automated
nydel: When I boot the machine, it boots me to the login shell and then stops. Unity doesn't show up. Neither does the graphical login screen.
Does startx still work? haven't used a linux desktop in awhile
Phase: it's just funny because i just offered you a free host with unjailed shell / ssh, cpanel, a subdomain, sftp, & infinite storage/bandwidth but you don't want it because you're paranoid hehe, which is a good thing in a hacker, so applause.
( but not very much applause for not thinking "hmm if this guy /is/ trying to scam me, i can beat him." -- have more confidence! )
lol
yesudeep: a terminal?
nydel: yep
nydel: I'm using the terminal and connecting to IRC via Emacs at the moment.
yesudeep: did you try startx, as Phase suggested?
nydel: going to give that a shot. one sec.
nydel: I've got a friend I can ask for a some room on his dedi, I just figured I'd see what I could find before that :)
Back on another machine. brb.
Phase: whatever you like. it's just funny from my end, i offer people free hosting every once in a while & they almost always reject it - it so happens that i'm like the most vigilantly ethical hacker i can be - so it's just so funny to me, like 'ya can't e'en give this stuff away!'
yesudeep: you could use screen
yesudeep: launch screen then ctrl-a-ctrl-c then ctrl-a-shift-S then ctrl-a-tab
nydel: Hah, I'm usually the one telling my friends to be careful with peoples offers of anything.. or read me in and I'll tell you my opinion
Ok. got the error. "FATAL: Module nvidia_current not found." Followed by "no screens found."  "xinit: unable to connect to server: Connection refused."
Phase: have you got any ideas for yesudeep ?
be right back need to restart irc client
Hmm. Apparently, a workaround is documented here: http://blog.projectz.me/2012/10/21/setting-up-ubuntu-12-10-on-a-macbook-pro/
yesudeep: Do you remember which nvidia package you chose?
Phase: nvidia-current
try it and see if it helps
Phase: yep. doing that at the moment. :)
I'm actually happy I've been able to get Ubuntu running on my MBP after almost a year. It had stopped booting.
nydel: yep. i use tmux.
still need to try tmux
I've used screen for years
it's just as easy. the prefix key is C-b instead of C-a.
not familiar with tmux yet
hooray! that worked.
:)
yesudeep: yay!!! :)
yesudeep: Awesome
way to go Phase
yesudeep actually found it themself :P
this is awesome. thank you guys, nydel and Phase :)
glad you got it working :)
yesudeep: yw. thanks for telling me about tmux, i'm having a ball
http://willwarren.com/docs/swiftapi/latest/SwiftApi.html
found something to keep me occupied for a bit
wow tmux is so cool.
nydel: if you spend quite a bit of time using the Terminal, you might like bash-ido as well. :)
nydel: it completes file paths using the emacs-style "ido-mode". way faster than using just bash-completion.
that sounds great & like /exactly/ what i need for something right now
yesudeep: If you spend quite a bit of time using the Terminal, you'll find yourself using the Z Shell sooner or later :P
theadmin: haha. i'm happy with bash. :p
i just found the source
theadmin: is that so!?
nydel: Well, I find zsh more powerful
hallo
In what ways?
what do you think of lush?
bluray
The only way I interact with linux these days is a terminal (bash shell)
list
git has actually changed my life. just pull the same configuration over to another machine and i'm all set within minutes.
tons of time saved
yesudeep, great ways to improve
yesudeep: Why not Bazaar? Just wondering, I find Git difficult to use, and Bazaar integrates with Ubuntu services better
theadmin: no particular reason. i'm just used to git. :)
yesudeep: Mind pm? Want to ask about how you set stuff up
theadmin: plus, the vim Vundle package manager I use clones Vim plugins from github using git. so that kinda helps set up both vim and emacs on all my machines within seconds for example.
git was greats ... Its developed by world famous class kernel hacker
theadmin: http://github.com/gorakhargosh/dotfiles.git <-- vim and general bash configuration.
theadmin: http://github.com/gorakhargosh/gemacs.git <-- emacs configuration. pretty simple really. :)
yesudeep: Nah not that, I mean uh, do you use git on your entire home directory or something?
theadmin: nope. not that. we have NFS at work for our home directories. they're automatically backed up.
yesudeep: Ah, okay
is it possible to switch entirely from ubuntu to other debian based distro ?
blackshirt: Well, yes, by reinstalling...
Other than that no
well
youcan switch to other 'buntus
Help. please. -I'm trying to view my system log with the build in "System Log", but hen i click it in the Dash it does not start. -Why? (Quantal)
or install another DE then log off and log in to the new DE
theadmin, not that ways ... I mean do it with system preinstalled
mote: try running the app from terminal, the output may give clues
ubuntu has come a long way. as a returning user, i'm finding it to be more polished now. :)
blackshirt, why would you want to
ActionParsnip: whats the command, do you know?
blackshirt: No, you'd break everything
actionparsnip, that not a matter i mean ...
mote: if you grep for 'Exec' in the file in /usr/sahre/applications which runs the command, it will tell you
theadmin, thats not greats
mote: what is the name of the app you run:
blackshirt, why would you want to switch to another debian based distro
theadmin, i have successfully switched my debian to other distro...
Exactly the other debbian based distros
ActionParsnip: found it, gnome-system-log. it starts from command line??  But thanks. it was a good idea
rymate1234, just want to know if apt was greats :)
mote: grep system-log /usr/share/applications/* | grep Exec
mote: should tell you the command
mote: you get the idea :)
Yes. Thanks yu
olo
blackshirt: it's alreet, try apt-fast :)
ActionParsnip: Yes thank you. have a googd sunday..
theadmin, i think you're right..ubuntu was made a big changes/hooks to the apt/standard packages core ...
mote: yeah, working 12 hours. Great :(
ActionParsnip: argh. man, sorry to hear. got a watch somewhere?
mote: if you run the command in terminal. If it crashes, you should get output in the terminal which should give clues
mote: yeah its 0939 here
actionparsnip, why i should go stick with apt-fast ?
ActionParsnip: i'm the sunday morning table with. oh. i'm at 10:39
you are in UK?
blackshirt: because it downloads using multiple sources via axel. Its like http download vs torrent
ActionParsnip: You are in Uk. -DK here.
mote: UK all the way
ActionParsnip: Well gtg. cu later. ;-)
blackshirt: I always advise it to those using CLI to install apps
actionparsnip, i think that was not my case guys
hello, in which logbook in /var/log are username changes logged ?
hi all
actionparnsip, yes, i always relies on apt / cli to install and uninstall something
Hello why webapps were not ported Officially to 12.04  :(

Hi guys, can someone tell me how to remove only one package from the system, not all included in ubuntu-desktop? I think it's something related with meta packages but can't understant it. Where I can find the meta package for Ubuntu and remove it? Thanks in advance :]
I am installing a second video card and it isn't displying anything through it, but in Arandr it displays the old working card as [interface]-2 and the new card (that I assume would be labeled [interface]-1) is non existent. any ideas on how to get the new card working?
theadmin, actionparsnip,i think it was greats if you can switch ubuntu to other debian based distros easily ...
blackshirt: No, it'd be just crazy.
Hi. Yesterday I was advised to install Wicd instead of default network manager. It worked for the rest of the day, but now it does not work
theadmin, for some perspectives yes, but from others it was good .d .. It was just an idea
* Nastya http://vk.com/id189043294 - it's me join me)
chris_: you can remove metapackages, it does nothing
at first the internet never worked, yesterday when i installed Wicd it worked for the rest of the day perfectly, now its useless, does not work at all
just gives an error message
blackshirt: it will always take a reinstall to be sure of a stable OS
ariel1234: can you ping 8.8.8.8 ?
theadmin, they all share the same barebones from apt system
what do i enter in to the command line?
blackshirt: No, they do not.
blackshirt: Ubuntu uses it's own packages, patches, repositories, everything is different. Package names would differ too.
what do i enter into command line to ping 8.8.8.8 as actionparsnip said?
theadmin, yes,we know ... Ubuntu make differgences so far with others .d
ariel1234: ping 8.8.8.8
ariel1234: ping 8.8.8.8
ariel1234: its the same in ALL OSes
i entered in ping 8.8.8.8 and it said network unreachable
ariel1234: do you get replies, or is the network unreachable?
ariel1234: ok, press CTRL+C to kill it
it said 'connect: Network is Unreachable'
ariel1234: Is the Wicd daemon started? "sudo start wicd"
it said exactly what i have written in inverted commas
ariel1234: if you run:  sudo dhclient3 wlan0     do you get an IP via DHCP?
yes, i have the actual wicd program open, but it does not connect
I am installing a second video card and nothing is being displayed through it, but in Arandr it displays the old working card as [interface]-2 and the new card (that I assume would be labeled [interface]-1) is non existent. Any ideas on how to get the new card working correctly?
ariel1234: if you run:  sudo rfkill list      are there any blocks?
ariel1234: No, not the graphical interface, the service. Run "sudo start wicd".
ariel1234: do you dual boot the system?
no, it says absolutely no blocks
it is a dual boot system with windows 7
ariel1234: in Windows, have you set the adapter to not be able to wake up the systsem in Device Manager
ariel1234: also, did you disable power management on the device in Device Manager too
i dont know but it is a desktop computer i am talking about
and because the internet is not working on that i am using my lubuntu laptop to message you
ariel1234: fine...did you disable what I said earlier....
disable what? sorry
ariel1234: read about 5 lines up...
disable power management in windows
ariel1234: i'm not typing all that out agaijn, use your eyes
ariel1234: and the wake up
yes i am booting into windows now
i have a wireless issue as well lol i have a wmp11 linksys PCI card and ubuntu 12.10... when i run #rfkill list all i get no feed back what so ever, and i have had issues w/ backtrack with this card but #rfkill unblock all generally works because backtrack has a hardware and software block on it for some odd reason
do you want me to follow this ' in Windows, have you set the adapter to not be able to wake up the systsem in Device Manager'
ariel1234: yes, it can affect dual boot systems because windows can 'hold' the wireless device. very annoying
ok gosh
would that explain why internet only sometimes worked when i used network manager not wicd
demonboy: backtrack isn't supported here. Try #backtrack-linux
any ideas on my dual video card issue?
ariel1234: I find wicd a bit more flexible with interface names and so forth
action i am on 12.10 ubuntu i was mearly refrencing backtrack as i run tht off my usb drive
i understand
and yesterday as i didn't use windows it was until the evening, then linux in the morning
where is device manager in windows
demonboy: can you run:  sudo lshw -C network; lsb_release -a; uname -a; sudo rfkill list     and pastebin the output please. Thanks
ariel1234: right click my computer -> manage
no... it has no connection but when i run tht command it sees it and uses the broadcom driver i ran tht to see if it atleast recognized the card
i am doing as you say
i have got computer management open in windows seven, what do i do now
ariel1234: device manager is in that list
ive got device manager open and opened the properties window for my TPLINK wireless card
@action i will manually type the output of that command
in a pastebin link tht is
demonboy: do you not have a USB stick etc?
ariel1234: right click it and hit properties
is it safe to create a new partition table on a medion computer, removing the recovery/OEM partitions if I do not want to dualboot?
what do i do, actionparsnip, i have the properties winow open for it
yes i do
Calinou: I suggest you make the DVDs from the restore partition, just in case
no blank DVDs around
demonboy: why not copy the text to a file, then transfer the file to a system with web access and pastebin that
Calinou: your call then dude, you sound like you understand what is going to happen
Calinou, if you don't want those recovery partitions anymore, you can do whatever you want with them. Including "removing" them by creating a new partition table
even if i did a DVD from restore partition, this doesn't mean I'd be able to reinstall windows if everything went wrong
because the usb is currently housing the 12.10 instance im currently running on another computer
the recovery dvds do not let you do that
(no windows install DVD as usual -- cheap computer manufacturers ahoy)
Calinou: thats what they make, instead of cluttering up the system you can make DVDs
demonboy: or take a screenshot with a phone and use that :)
ActionParsnip I have network manager open
that works
ariel1234: its not network manager
how many DVDs are required, usually?
demonboy: thinking outside the box gets you ahead in life
Hi @all
actionparsnip sorry i mean i have 'TP-LINK Wireless N adapter #3 Properties' open
ariel1234: http://www.mochasoft.dk/images/wol2.png
Calinou: it varys, I'd guess at 3
ActionParsnip I have that exact thing open
ariel1234: ok untick wake up pc and power management
ok. i run into two other issues when using the live cd: it looks like i can't install the proprietary nvidia driver (no option to do so in software sources/additional drivers), and an high-pitched sound constantly plays unless i'm moving mouse
(the latter doesn't happen on windows)
ActionParsnip the option ' Allow this device to wake the computer' is grey, and does not  look like it can be selected.
ActionParsnip This is a desktop computer i am talking about.
ActionParsnip should i unselect the option 'allow the computer to turn off this device to save power
I have an interesting problem with my wireless keyboard (logitech).
Sometimes it seems not to work anymore, but this is only partially. (AudioControll work, Ctrl+Alt+Del  also works)
Can somone help me where to look for the problem?
ariel1234: the fact it is a desktop PC is irrelevant
ariel1234: yes disable the ability to turn of the device too.
had: are the batteries ok?
yes
ActionParsnip: The option 'allow this device to wake the computer' is in grey and is not clickable
sry i forgot if i unplug and reconnect the usb-token its works again
had: if you unload then reload the driver module, does it work without unplugging?
ActionParsnip: Shall i restart the computer now?
how can i do that if i have no keyboard plugged in ?
@action http://sphotos-b.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ash3/554253_4883473808815_230895210_n.jpg
shall i go back to ubuntu and will it work?
ariel1234: yes, try Ubuntu now. Should help
ariel1234: patience dude...sheesh
sorry
Hey guys, how to record sound from two sources??  from TS3 (what my friends talking) and Micro?? at this same time?
Its possible?!
had: make it work, then start investigating
you mean get an normal keyboard additionally?
how can i find out which driver is for my keyboard?
input: Logitech USB Receiver as /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.2/usb8/8-1/8-1:1.1/input/input7
ActionParsnip; In ubuntu default network manager it used to say ' Device busy' did that mean it was being held by windows
@wlosio: not sure, but in Win it was possible, if you set the "Stereo Mix" in
generic-usb 0003:046D:C529.0006: input,hiddev0,hidraw3: USB HID v1.11 Mouse [Logitech USB Receiver] on usb-0000:00:1d.2-1/input1
@wlosio: set the "Stereo Mix" as Input, I mean
@action the command #lspci -vvnn | grep 14e4  returns no results
had: if you run:  lsb_release -a; uname -a; lsmod       pastebin the output please
andreas, im know dat in Windows XP its possible, but Windows XP is too old... im preffer use Xubuntu :)
demonboy: is the system a laptop?
no its a desktop
yes, me too, but I'm not sure if there's such a feature in Ubuntu as well ... just a thought :)
ActionParsnip: Will this be a perminant fix, the option you told me to change
demonboy: you can use the packages on the install CD to setup the wifi. Those cheap broadcoms are super easy to setup
ariel1234: should be, as long as youi don't change it back
good
ariel1234: is it ok nnow?
ok i have helped me with an onscreen keyboard
i have a live usb i dont use cd's
it works now, i dont know whether it will work later
and im running it live w/ a 4gb persistance
ariel1234: thought so, your junk Windows OS was causing the issue
demonboy: same difference, you can still enable the install media as a package source
ariel1234: its why its the first thing I ask
how would i do this?
demonboy: use software centre, or uncomment the top line in /etc/apt/sources.list that relates to the CD
mmk
@ActionParsnip: Thx, I will try to find out which driver i need to reload. Than wait till it happens again, reload the driver and see if it helps. And then i will come back here ok?
had: if you can pastebin the text, I can advise..
ActionParsnip: Now we have found out that it is not a drivers problem, but a windows dualboot problem, shall i remove Wicd
pastebin? sry not native en-speaker
ariel1234: if wicd is working, why bother
had: http://paste.ubuntu.com/
no, default network manager is working, so should i remove wicd
THX
had: put the text there and hit paste, when the page changes, copy the new URL in the address bar and paste that in here
ariel1234: if it's not in use, why not
ok thanks for your help

hi
Hi,, I have this message when starting Ubuntu-minimal in Virtualbox: error:sparse file not allowed. press any cay to continue.  It is Btrf file system installed.
had: try:   gksudo gedit /etc/rc.local     above the 'exit 0' line add:    modprobe -r bluetooth; sleep 2; modprobe bluetooth      save the new file and reboot to test
after few seconds system boots
ActionParsnip: llutz: Thanks guys!  going to go try it out now.
nikolam: did you MD5 test the ISO you downloaded?
tried to install latest 304.64 nvidia drivers, and now I'm stuck at 1024x768 without graphic acceleration, can someone help me?
ActionParsnip, I think so. will re-check
had: you can try commands like that in the file, see which it needs. It may need 2 or 3 unloading then reloading
beta4: tried:  sudo nvidia-xconfig    then reboot
Hi, regardint Empathy Internet messaging .. is there any way that in my Buddy list I can see them by their nicknames and not by their id? // without editing them one by one of course. Thx
ActionParsnip: i dont think this will help, because the keyboard is not using bluetooth
already tried, it generated an xorg.conf with something (previous one was empty), reboot and... stuck at 640x480, even worse. Replaced xorg.conf with an empty one, now I'm back @ 1024x768
had: does it use it's own reciever?
in any case lsmod only shows vesafb, non nvidia module
yes but its a wireless 2.4 technologie
had: try: rfcomm   then
beta4: then roll back to the previous driver if they worked
ActionParsnip: rfcomm does not output anything
previous drivers were open drivers, not good for steam on ubuntu, could only do some 3d desktop effects and nothing more
had: its not meant to....think about it
had: what I suggested before...then read your own pastebin....
any idea why nvidia module fails to load? P.S: I've installed the drivers via the ubuntu-x ppa
bluetooth             180104  10 rfcomm,bnep
you mean that?
had: yes, its a kernel module, not a command
action are you still here?
k, but that should i do now? sry if i dont understand
ActionParsnip: rfcomm is a module AND name of a program
ni s
ActionParsnip: rfcomm (1)           - RFCOMM configuration utility
w s
may it be related to this error:
$ sudo insmod nvidia_current
insmod: can't read 'nvidia_current': No such file or directory
llutz: gotcha
had: scroll up where I recommended adding to /etc/rc.local
had: same line, different module name
can u send it again plz, sry i clear it accidentially
beta4: can you pastebin the output of:   sudo lshw -C display; lsb_release -a; uname -a; dpkg -l | grep nvidia; apt-cache policy nvidia-current
Can I create a swap partition after I have installed my OS?
without losign data
i went to install ubuntu to my hdd on the desktop so i can y=use my usb as a thumb drive and transfer packages and now im looking at a black screen w/ a bunch of info on it the last line reads: Output VGA-1 is running on CRTC 0 using output A
ActionParsnip, debsums -acls gives 2 changed packages: binutils and g++ you think that will be enough for installed files verification?
ActionParsnip: This i got> http://paste.ubuntu.com/1350233/
Guest23590: that's not all of the output of the command
http://pastebin.com/fnqYQETW
beta4: I suggest you contact the PPA maintainers to let them know of the issue
nikolam: then the image is bad. you wil need to redownlod it, then re-MD5 test
ActionParsnip: can u plz write me again what i should do (adding to rc.local), because i cleared the window accidentally
ok, thanks for the help
ActionParsnip: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1350244/
Guest23590: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx
had: try:   gksudo gedit /etc/rc.local     above the 'exit 0' line add:    modprobe -r bluetooth; sleep 2; modprobe bluetooth      save the new file and reboot to test
had: just change the module name in the line
wait: something happened: did 'sudo modprobe nvidia_current', logged out, logged back in and now nvidia drivers work!
ActionParsnip: Thanks
sry for my english i dont have the statement in my history i accidentally deleted it. Can you resend it?
full resolution again, glxgears ok
so it's just that the module does not get loaded at startup
had: which statement? I just gave you the instruction again?
is there a file or something to tell the kernel the list of modules to load @ boot?
oh sry i did not see it
thx
beta4: could try putting the module name in /etc/modules
THX a lot for ur help
had: you'll be messing with that til it works well.
tryin' to reboot
hello, I need a tool to do all sort of conversions in the command line, like from ascii to binary, from decimal to binary etc.. and vise-versa. any idea? thanks
ActionParsnip, would not that mean something just changed installed package after install? and reinstalling it restores original package contents (is not also package contents default setting for a package?) I have a bunch packages on another machine listed with debsum -acls and I don't believe they are all broken)
nikolam: is this in the minimal ISO?
ActionParsnip, it is minimal and already installed in VBox with addons
And another machine is alternate install on bare metal
nikolam: i see
nikolam: is it fully updated
yup. message in vbox machine appears , stays and boot then ok
hsnmck: run: ascii2binary    is anything output?
nikolam: try the boot option:  nomodeset
ActionParsnip, will try
ActionParsnip, it says in the man page that it Convert ASCII numbers to binary.. so it's only ascii numbers and not ascii letters :(
nikolam: it always helps with weird video chips
ActionParsnip, oh binary2ascii does that. thanks :)
ActionParsnip, it is virtualbox with vbox addons installed
rebooted, drivers 'almost' work, thanks for the tip on /etc/modules, always forget which file does what
hsnmck: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=735140   some bash commands there, surprised you don't just use web stuff to do it
last issue, brightness is stuck at 100%, can't reduce it
nikolam: You may ask in #vbox too.
beta4: does the system have a make and model?
beta4: echo "0" > /sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0/brightness
i have a file containing for each line a web-address, i want to add to each line prior to the web-address '127.0.0.1' followed by a fewspaces, how can i do this?
it's an old  macbookpro
(you need admin/root to do so, might want to put that in a script, then run it with sudo)
bekks, yes, they helped me removing apready-installed ubuntu-provided vbox addons that instaleld automatically during install
beta4: can you pastebin the output of:  sudo dmidecode -t 1
or, you can do this: echo 0 > ~/brightness && cp ~/brightness /sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0/brightness
Calinou: or:  echo "0" | sudo tee /sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0/brightness
Calinou: much cleaner
http://pastebin.com/tqVatBRB
beta4: so it's a MacBookPro4,1
echo "1" > /sys/class/backlight/apple_backlight/brightness
works
so it's not a kernel issue
beta4: bit more detailed than 'old macbook' wouldn't you say?
sorry, had to be more detailed, you're right
anyway I think it's funny, changing the drivers from the open to the closed nvidia ones broke the userspace brightness control
beta4: does the echo command make everything ok?
yes, all ok
(irrelevant to discussion) back to my medion problems -- if I just want to install ubuntu on the whole drive, will the computer still boot? not really caring about warranty or windows...
beta4: then run:   gksudo gedit /etc/rc.local    above the 'exit 0' line, add: echo "1" > /sys/class/backlight/apple_backlight/brightness
I can live with a shell script to set the brightness in the absence of a better way
Calinou: yes, the installer will add grub to the MBR
beta4: you can edit /etc/rc.local, yes
Calinou: why would it not boot?
ActionParsnip: since this is an UEFI computer should I make an UEFI partition? (i'm going to partition by hand to have separate /home)
ok, guess I'll do that
Calinou: i've not used uefi etc
the wiki has some info about uefi
thanks all, finally I'm back with decently fast video drivers, after ~6 months with open ones
Calinou: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFIBooting   may help
That last Ubuntu update messed up all my stuff. Made everything default settings.
jeffroberts: Which is quite impossible...
ActionParsnip: is it possible to create a GPT partition table on a disk that is currently using msdos partition table?
bekks, Maybe improbable, because it did.
guys, I need a good text-to-speech reader.
mohanmcgeek: gnome-orca
Calinou: not sure, sorry
jeffroberts: So whats "the last update" and whats "all my stuff"?
ok. thanks for answering
Calinou: maybe others can help
bekks, Startup programs, wallpaper, repositories, docked icons, etc.
bekks, Even terminal changed the profile colors.
ActionParsnip: No, not a screen reader. but a software that will take a text input and read it out.
mohanmcgeek: espeak does that too
mohanmcgeek: or try festival
bye

hey, I know multimedia isn't exactly ubuntu's strengths, but can somebody help me fix this damn "clicking sound" bug? All the old fixes don't work anymore in 12.10
dingdangdong: could always ask in #freenode :)
eltigre: multimedia is flawless here
good for you
eltigre: what is the clickingsound bug?
eltigre: tried disabling power saving on your sound module?
eltigre: where do you get that multimedia isn't one of ubuntu's strengths?
I've got no idea what power saving on my sound module is supposed to mean or how to deactivate it
ActionParsnip: Hi du you remember me (wireless keyboard). added the line in the rc.local. the keyboard still has the same behavior
when I watch videos on youtube it clicks all the time
mplayer no such problem
eltigre: tried:    echo "options snd-hda-intel power_save=0 power_save_controller=N" | sudo tee -a /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf > /dev/null
eltigre: reboot to test#
hadAch: then you'll need to try a different module. Are there any bugs reported?
eltigre: have you tried different browsers?
ActionParsnip: whats more strange is that even the onscreen keyboard does not work , and even stranger in the sidebar i can open programs wich are shown there, but not the "Dash Home"
hm one version of chrome has the same problem, chromium doesn't ....
i think its somehow connected to flash movies in the browser because it only occurs when i am look some flash movie
chrome/firefox is the same
I don't have any Internet when chrooting to my Ubuntu
though ifconfig shows there's an IP
smj: cp /etc/resolv.conf /chroot/etc/resolve.conf
Jordan_U: did that
i've installed espeak and few mbrola voices.. but none are good enough.. Maybe I'm not trying the right source.. Where  can I get good mbrola voices?
no, wait let me try again
ActionParsnip: "hadAch: then you'll need to try a different module. Are there any bugs reported?" i dont think so
ActionParsnip: ah sure, thanks :)
okay it works now
hadAch: I suggest you report a bug then
for what?
for the kernel module?
i dont think its a kernel module because i used archlinux for a long time and other linux distrubution and never hab a problem
hadAch: then I'd report a bug against udev
hadAch: the bug guys will move it if necessary, state that arch ran it ok (and what version of Arch)
ok
can i look for additional information in some logs
or enable additional logging for udev
?
hadAch: could run:  dmesg | less     to see what happens as the OS boots

the example you just wrote

some never execute for example edit /etc/default/locale

Hi, I'd like to query another dns server for a certain domain, say .local. I'd like to leave my dns client config intact as much as possible
defekt, perfect, exactly what i needed
can I do this with just resolv.conf, or do I need a full fledged local dns server for that?
MasterOfDisaster: edit /etc/hosts file
defekt: the dns server that has the info I want is reachable on my local network, I don't want to keep an /etc/hosts on multiple nodes
in that case I would suggest running another ns server
bonhoeffer: hwinfo
if you want to keep it centralized
defekt: thought so, thanks

linux|newb: Because you have to source that file.
linux|newb: ". /etc/bash.bashrc"
how a convert a command into service
bekks: cheers
AndroUser-thanig: you could mess with rc levels, making a file to start/stop/status it
bekks: done it and it's working but  so I know for future
bekks: ...define 'source' for me pleace
please*
linux|newb: type " help source" into a terminal
...ah I see so really, I need to update $HOME/.BASHRC
linux|newb: No. $HOME/.bashrc
linux|newb: watch the case, Linux is very case sensitive
bekks: ActionParsnip: typo on my part - realised. thanks :)
;)
[18:36] (ActionParsnip)  then how can i stop the command when processing.
AndroUser-thanig: here is an example: http://www.dropboxwiki.com/Ubuntu_Startup
AndroUser-thanig: drop your customized file into /etc/init.d/    then run: update-rc.d dropbox defaults
AndroUser-thanig: obviously change all the stuff to what you want to run and so forth
AndroUser-thanig: you can then use the 'service' command like you do the others to start/stop etc the sevrice

I just bought the Logitec Wireless Solar Keyboard k750 but it does not work. No key works. What could I try to get it to work?
LiquidDemocracy: how does it connect to the system?
ActionParsnip, What exactly to you mean?
ActionParsnip, USB if you mean that.
ActionParsnip, more exact USB 2.0
LiquidDemocracy: yes, exactly that
LiquidDemocracy: is it charged?
LiquidDemocracy, yes.
Anyone from England?
LiquidDemocracy: if you unplug it, then wait a few seconds then shove it back in, does it work?

LiquidDemocracy, unfortunately not.

My boyfriend asked for bangers and mash.... did he not mean for breakfast?
OpenSorce: thats offtopic here
LiquidDemocracy: are there any bugs reported?
LiquidDemocracy: is there an on/off switch on the keyboard?
Indeed, my apologies...
exit
ActionParsnip, the keyboard is powered on and I did not find any bug reports so far.
oops
ActionParsnip, http://askubuntu.com/questions/25877/will-a-logitech-k750-keyboard-work
LiquidDemocracy: top right corner, there appears to be a switch, is it on?
ActionParsnip, yes it it.
ActionParsnip, is.
LiquidDemocracy: oh does it have a USB dongle to make it wireless?
ActionParsnip, yes it does have one.
ActionParsnip, which is also used by the Logitec mouse, which works perfectly.
ActionParsnip, of topic though it may be, I won't ask again... a single word answer: Bangers and Mash. Breakfast or not?
LiquidDemocracy: is there a sync button that needs pressing>
OpenSorce: its mashed potatoes and sausages.....I'd say not but if you want it then why not :)
ActionParsnip, dammit.... he'll awake soon. Thanks :-)
ActionParsnip, there is no sync button.
LiquidDemocracy: if you unsync the most, can you sync the keyboard?
LiquidDemocracy, what does that mean?
LiquidDemocracy: i'd check the chargedness of the keyboard too
LiquidDemocracy: unlink the mouse, then try the keyboard
LiquidDemocracy, it is charged, double, tripple checked.
LiquidDemocracy: I'd check for bugs then, or report one. Logitech hate Linux and refuse to support it
hello everyone, is there a way to set the priority of a program?
ActionParsnip, you're right this isn't breakfast at all....
dalton2345, yes, with the nice and renice commands
Hi, After a fresh install of 12.10 webapps don't appear to be working in chromium only in firefox - is this supposed to be the case?
seveas, i'm looking at changing it before it start
dalton2345, you do that by using 'nice $priority $progname'
seveas, i did nice -20 program didnt do a thing
ActionParsnip, do I have to change anything in the Kubuntu configuration? The wireless keyboard is not the same one I did the upgrade to 12.10 with.
dalton2345, looks like cpu scheduling isn't your problem then :)
i can change while it run but not before it starts
Maybe not a real tech question, more a trivial one. To achieve the flashiest and most visually appealing desktop, how do I do this? :)

rm: cannot remove `test.mkv': Text file busy
any ideas?
did you try restarting the comp?
wohai
fuser shows nothing
yes restarting does not work
unmounting does not work either
text file busy?

does anyone know about webapps and chromium in 12.10?
war59312, use -f
with ?
i can copy the file with cp -f but thats it..
war59312: "sudo lsof |grep test.mkv"
hi people, do i need acpi-support if i'm not using laptop?
llutz when I run that I get:
lsof: WARNING: can't stat() fuse.gvfsd-fuse file system /run/user/rob/gvfs
      Output information may be incomplete.
so the -f switch in rm is for non-exists files and for it to never prompt
war59312: file is on cifs-share?
why is it named force?
Cong still get Text file busy when using rm -f
llutz yes, cifs share
war59312, how big is it?
llutz its only 4 files that are giving this error.. the other 47 files deleted just fine
cong it is is 1.1 GB (1,088,289,388 bytes)
war59312, start killing some program
-'s
Cong: nonsense
it's easy kill -kill <prg>
war59312: some googling shows it a common smb-problem, no real workaround besides renaming the file and removing it then
cant rename it either :(
llutz i killed smb but no luck either
Cong: what process do you want to kill if you don't even know what process holds it open?
llutz, try them all
Cong: nonsense
llutz, the non-important ones first
Cong: don't offer bad advise
cong im not doign that
Hi
ok maybe if i can ssh into the drive itself.. its running linx too then maybe it can delete it..
war59312: are you sure the file isn't in use on the server?
i have a strange nVidia card, so when i try to install Ubuntu, i always get this fuzzied up screen, in other words no X ....
at some point (shutting down) i could read some output ... nouvo something I/O error  .....
llutz 100% sure.. I just figured it out
i couldn't even change to tty1 ...
llutz files are gone.. was able to ssh into box and login as root and deleted them
is there a way to pass X a different driver to use ?
just weird i could not delete them via sudo on server box
war59312: sounds like cifs-issues, but i don't know. i usually don't have to deal with cifs . glad you solved it
Ubuntu 10.04. When I try to reboot an error message  (/boot , /sbin and other not found)How to fix/recovery /boot directory and all related files ?
llutz is there a better way to mount a share and still have read and write permissions and use NFS with it ?
war59312: windows-share? idk, sorry, i prefer nfs
llutz yea I mean nfs on my ubuntu box itself
llutz the hardware i am accessing btw is this drive http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822148661
war59312: nfs isn't too hard, you just  should use same usernames/uids on all machines to make it easier
llutz i am.. and it did NOT work..
llutz probally has to do with the hacky nature of running linux on the drive.. its more than a hack then anything.. but i do have root access
Hi. So I've just installed Ubuntu 12.04 on my MacBook Air 4,2 (the 2011 edition). According to the help.ubuntu.com-page, everything (except Thunderbolt) should work out of the box, but I can't get wireless to work. I did the installation without internet connection. I do not have access to wired internet for the next weeks, but there is a wireless network (the same I'm connected to know via OS X). When I try to connect to a wireless network, Ubunt
llutz and when i say did not work.. i could not get write access no matter what I tried.
war59312: could be, i never had that problems but all i use are "normal PCs" running debian and some ARM-boards
llutz no problem.. its all good... been working fine hence this:
09:07:09 up 173 days, 11:29,  1 user,  load average: 0.12, 0.12, 0.09
war59312: 173 days, so no security updates at all? :)
Is it for example possible to add the broadcom-sta module manually by first downloading it to OS X and then use the memory stick to install it in Ubuntu?
frakk, possible.
frakk: sure, you can grab packages from http://packages.ubuntu.com .  But keep in mind you must make sure to grab all the dependencies as well
"gcc -lnetfilter_queue -c a.c" success and when "gcc -lnetfilter_queue -o a a.o" it will tell that functions in libnetfilter_queue undefinde
i install libnetfilter-queue-dev and it dependices
the progam can be compiled but can't be linked
llutz all security updates installed via http://www.ksplice.com/ :)
can anyone help ?
frakk, everything you need is already on teh live disc.
the problem exists in 12.04 and no problem with 10.04
can anyone help?
upgraded from 12.04 to 12.10 yesterday. transmission-gtk won't start up now. fails with segmentation fault. what do I do next to find the cause?
Cong, jrib: ok, it doesn't seem like broadcom-sta have any dependencies (ref. http://packages.ubuntu.com/precise/broadcom-sta-common). So I should be able to just download the package and double click on it from Ubuntu 12.04?
kae_: start it from a terminal and take a look at the output
kae_: I'd start by clearing out any settings you have and seeing if it persists
Cong: well, for some reason it doesn't work :/
k1l, when I start from terminal, it merely says "Segmentation fault (core dumped)"
 i install libnetfilter-queue-dev and i can compile my programs but cannot link it ...so what's maybe the problem?
Cong: and help.ubuntu.com suggest installing the broadcom-sta package, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookAir4-2#Wireless
frakk: I'd probably grab broadcom-sta-dkms too
jrib, not sure how to clear transmission settings without destroying my whole profile
kae_: create a new user
jrib: thanks, just noticed that myself :P
 /ignore -channels #mwsf
jrib: should I try to mimmick the commands listed at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookAir4-2#Wireless ?
jrib: Seems like I should be able to execute all of them except 'sudo apt-get update'
frakk: you'll have to use dpkg or gdebi to install the .deb's you download
the mouse pointer lags on 12.10 any ideas?
Hi :) I just installed ubuntu through wubi, but it doesn't recognise my wireless dongle. It came with some windows driver installers but ubuntu can't read the windows .exe files, any ideas ?

when I watch videos on youtube they have a blue tint, but I know it's not my monitor, I think it's the codec or sth. anyone see this before? any ideas?

klync:right-click on the video then settings uncheck the box enable hardware acceleration
simple_one But ubuntu has no internet connection, so i can't get wine
will do, thanks simple_one

Local printer (USB)
PudgePacket: try to extract the exes with gunzip
PudgePacket: in terminal, type gunzip file.exe
Past versions of Ubuntu 9.10 i had to install drivers from Canon support
jlangvand does gunzip come with default ubuntu ?
PudgePacket: then use the inf-file with ndiswrapper to install the windows drivers
yes, i think so
but on ubuntu 12 it seems that it i isn't necesary
frakk, don't know. I keep b43 driver files which I would if anything happened (one day) to the current one in /lib/firmware and that's how I install it.
ok thanks jlangvand, i'll go try that

hi
I have a question regarding Ubuntu on VmWare
anybody can help?
I move icons from left bar
test issues with a newly made user. see if the problem affects every user.
and on icon white stripes attack
shkelzen, I run it on kvm, so maybe
it looks like a bug
but I need online help
ubuntu 12.10 release
Yakut: sounds rather trivial bug. could be a driver issue. or a user setting issue.
test issues with a newly made user. see if the problem affects every user.
dr_willis, I upgraded 12.04 > 12.10
it worked nice
its possible some old setting us causeing the issue.
rebooting doesnt help
wait me
I will run google translate
:D
make a new user...... see if the problem affects the new user.

Yakut: that was totally unreadable to me
after upgrading to 12.10 from 12.04 stripes appeared on icons, dragging from the left bar. Before the upgrade everything was fine, what advice?
make a new user...... see if the problem affects the new user.
if my home is encrypted, is it gonna be decrypted only if i am logged in ?? or any fs operation with the right permissions would work ???
ok
is my advice........ Yakut
lauxley, only when logged in
came as a guest. The strips have not disappeared
right speaker
also on my laptop is not working right speaker
possible driver issue with  the video driver. you may want to check askubuntu.com and the forums search features to see if otherrs have reported the same thing.
testing with  a 12.10 dvd would also be good info
dr_willis, who are you?
* dr_willis is me
escott: thx
bit of a deep question
hi
bbl.
just upgraded to 12.10. now i cannot su to root. what can i do?
em
no, sudo is for single commands
can I downgrade Ubuntu to 12.04 without full Ubuntu 12.04 downloading?
i want a shell as root
from 12.10
jrib: and why does su not work any longer?
Bims, sudo -i
Hi all
Bims, su never worked
Yakut: the only way to downgrade to a previous release is a clean install
Bims: you can only su to root if you've set a root password.  One isn't set by default.  It's also not necessary and not recommended
ah, okay
=(
Bims: it does, you just can't su to root
I'm having a crack at using ndiswrapper to get my wireless usb dongle going, i ran ndiswrapper on the driver files, but it said the driver is invalid, any ideas?
Bims: if you have 2 users on the system, you can su between without issue
Bims: sudo -i    is also good because it uses your user's environment, not root's
I have ubuntu installd with wubi alongside windows, is there anyway i can tell ubuntu to use my windows drivers for my usb wireless?

varikonniemi: current is 12.04 or 12.10
12.10 is a release
._.
yes, but also the mini.iso you say?
slowpoke
should be "hybrid" or what is the term
varikonniemi> yes, but also the mini.iso you say?" big.inc
bekks" lol
all the isos since 11.04 i think are hrbrid
je ne sais pas
oh ye o ye
ja nie rozumien
ne ponime
are you a dev=
varikonniemi: mini iso install kernel, modules, boot loader and a handful of tools
varikonniemi: there is a 32bit mini iso and a 64bit mini iso

MEOW
yes
MEO
WMWEOMWOEM
Intel and Nvidia
I have bubmblebeee
Yakut: then you will get problems
bumblebee
sudo apt-get install fuck_allyou-niggs-0.8.6
Yakut: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HybridGraphics  is all I know
ActionParsnip" uh
youre a captaun obvious
Yakut: if you intend to use Linux based OS it is best (imho) to flat out avoid that mess
I installed bubmlbebee
Nvidia worjs good
Yakut: I assume nothing
but I have stripes and right sound making thing has died
bumble is verymuch a work in progress and not stable.
Yakut: have you tried a different desktop?
on 12.04
there s didnt yes stripes
Yakut: yes, install xfce4   then log off and log in to the XFCE session, is it ok there?
a clean unstall of 12.10 may work also.
I used 12.04 - WERE WAS VERY BEATUIFULL AND STABLE
desktop = UI?
Yakut: then why did you fix it?
or diffretnet device
Yakut: I recommend backing up your files and reinstalling 12.04
Yakut: you fixed something that wasn't broken....
ActionParsnip" 12.10 is a bugfix?
o.o
or testing with a 12.10 live dvd see if it happens there
Yakut: 12.10 is a different release.
Yakut: not really, 12.04 is LTS so is designed to be super stable
bekks> Yakut: 12.10 is a different release." O_O
12.10 is a beta?
un saluto
Yakut: No.
Yakut: no, its just not LTS
I know what it isnt LTS
guys, please, i've been trying for 2 days to install my ati driver on ubuntu 12.10, but i can't.... says that the install went ok, but when i reboot, i can't get 3d working
=_=
but i have a bug
with stripes and sound
no LTS doesnt mean bugs
of course?
ActionParsnip: Not "designed to be super stable" but will over time cause it has support of 5 years. You can even see how 10.04 LTS got stable over years.
Hello, can I have some help removing gnome. I think I managed to download a lot of stuff I don't need while trying to change my unity theme.
ActionParsnip, nothing new ! still: Segmentation fault (core dumped)
Safa_[A_boy]: then I suggest you contact the PPA maintainers
I want prezervativ pongolin
or normal GUI with no bug
thelinux: yeah Lucid was nice, its dead soon though
Yakut: all software has bugs in some form
=(
Yakut: did you try the XFCE desktop?
no
mini.iso is not hybrid, it seems
Yakut: There is no such thing as a "normal GUI with no bugs" why not state the issue you are actually having and find out if someone can help with it.
I had Windows 7 aero
In new years I'll be installing a 12 series (version 12.04). Can I install gnome-panel, enable metacity and disable unity? I need instructions.
Yakut: I suggest you do
its strange ! in 12.10 it works, in 12.04 it doesnt :(
but it is very  ad
ActionParsnip: Unfortunately yes, it's last of its kind, with gnome 2.x.
so i have no way to install my 12.10 then :( great choices, ubuntu
bad
and I make ubuntu
thelinux: thank god
12.04
was nice
12.10 is like a dog shit
Yakut: why do you need to hit ENTER after every other word?
ActionParsnip, I dont know
Yakut: try the other desktop, see how it goes
ActionParsnip: Why "thank god"?
tell me how i am supposed to install to a raid1 setup the 12.10 when i have no cd drive?
How can I remove gnome .  I have lot's of unneeded gnome files and I want to use unity.
*packages
thelinux: because it has painfully old versions of nearly everything, newer hardware works well with the newer kernels and drivers
headbuster: Unity runs on top of gnome3
headbuster: you need gnome for Unity
well, not strictly but it helps a LOT
ActionParsnip: But 10.04 LTS is great for poeple with little bit older hardware, if they like gnome classic.
get to a fresh installing..
headbuster: Wait, I'll help you.
thelinux: then you can use Xubuntu or Lubuntu
I see, I installed gnome-*something*-extenstions and it installed alot of sutff. I managed to get my old login screen back but I can see that there is a lot of gnome pakcages that I don't need.
ActionParsnip: Some poeple prefer good old experience with gnome 2.x ;)
thelinux: gnome2 is dead.
I tried removing gnome-*something*-extensions but it didn't remove the other packages it downloaded.
thelinux: XFCE looks and feels a lot like Gnome2
please, could someone help me installing my gpu driver?
IdleOne: Not really. Have you heard of MATE?
headbuster: try:  dpkg -l | grep gnome | awk {'print $2'}
YokoBR: What's is the problem buddy?
thelinux: I have. gnome2 is dead
headbuster: review the list, if you want rid of them all, we can use it to remove the lot in one command
Now please let's get back to Ubuntu support
IdleOne: Open source software is never dead, it still lives through MATE.
thelinux, i'm on ubuntu 12.10, and i've installed the driver but i can't get it working
i mean, it's fglrx on xorg.conf, but no opengl woking
sorry for my bad english
thelinux: mate support is quite limited
YokoBR: Yeah I had similliar problems with previous versions. Did you use additional drivers tab from software sources to install driver for your gpu?
This channel is not the place to discuss it, please move to #ubuntu-offtopic if you want to continue chatting.
yep
ActionParsnip: everything seems to be working, I just don't want to have stuff that I don't need on the system, since I only have 30gb, and I don't know which of those are needed for unity.
thelinux, yep, i've installed by there. And everything goes ok on the installation
ActionParsnip: Not really, I've used it, I must say it's really good, pure gnome 2.x experience, but it's still in development ;)
thelinux: no, its not supported here, so if you get issues with mate you won't get help here
YokoBR: Who is manufacturer of you card? And model of it?
headbuster: I'd remove the gnome apps then just install Unity, it will install what is needed
i have hybrid hd 4200 and hd 6310
amd ati
ActionParsnip: You have Mint community who can help with MATE since it's official DE on Mint 13.
thelinux: then go to the mint channel
IdleOne: you got it :D
ActionParsnip: ok, any idea how to do that? also: http://pastebin.com/J86MjViK
sorry, thelinux, hydrib hd 4200 and hd 6310, amd/ati
my hdd from my laptop recently broke, so I am now using ubuntu and it's awesome!
IdleOne ubottu auronandace: What? I said Mint community is experienced with MATE. What did I do wrong?
thelinux: You are continuing to be off topic for this channel.
thelinux: this is a support channel, not a discussion channel
IdleOne auronandace: Sorry sometimes I go off topic without even noticing, sorry about that.
thelinux: in #ubuntu we support Ubuntu. We have many other channels in the ubuntu name space that you are welcome to join and "chat"
thelinux,  please don't troll here
YokoBR: Delete drivers you have installed, and try downloading driver for you GPU from here: http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/Pages/index.aspx
Bier__> my hdd from my laptop recently broke, so I am now using ubuntu and it's awesome!" using from CD?
bipul: Excuse me?
thelinux, i've already tried that :(
thelinux, Excuse us , with you mint talk about ubuntu
bipul: thelinux does not appear to be trolling, they just may not have been aware of the channel policy
thelinux: using drivers from outside of ubuntu repos is... not the greatest suggestion.  YokoBR
IdleOne,  oh then  i am really sory for that :)
okay, i screwd up my system
zykotick9: Exactly. But he installed from additional drivers, it doesn't work for him.
So I just install gnome-panel, select it from the sessions in the login screen and that's it. I have disabled unity?
bipul" U are trolling what you name other people trolling
you are slim troll
Cong: yes, unity doesn't load
stop!
hammer time
YokoBR: I had issue with NVIDIA drivers myself in some pass releases, you can only blame bad support of NVIDIA and ATI  for drivers. But have you tried using older versions of that driver buddy?
I have a problem wit launching Ageof Empires 3 on wine
can you help me?
Yakut: ##winehq can
Bier__: You mentioned your laptop broke? Do you need help with something buddy?
For the first time I purchased an AMD video card, only to find out it doesn't work very well with Ubuntu. it's so disappointing. I won't be buying AMD again after this one
IdleOne fanx bro
youre awesome
Greetings. I was wondering if anyone could offer some advice about ripping my dvd collection. I have ripped 3 different dvds using Handbrake. I have three files now that are 6-8 GB and they are m4v. I can't find a media player that will open and play them. I tried changing one of the files to a mp4 but I still didn't get any results. I have used VLC and Miro. I have Ubuntu 3rd party installed. Thank you
urist_: Yeah, ATI had ussually bad support for Linux drivers. Try older versions of that driver.
thelinux, ive tryied the ati.com legacy, but didn't worked also
I had an ATI card years ago that crapped and took out the MB ... never again
boris-semat:  vlc can play them rere i rev
dr_willis: I tried VLC but it wouldn't play them. I uninstalled and reinstalled and still it would not play
boris-semat:  you can reencode them with other tools if you want different formats
how does ubuntu and lubuntu differ on a practical level?
lubuntu is for lower end PC
can i make a lubuntu into ubuntu by repointing the repos etc?
boris-semat:  uninstalling/reinstalling is a 'windows mindset'     run vlc from a terminal play the file.. look for error messages
on lubuntu is KDE
varikonniemi: what desktop-environment they use by default - that's it...
varikonniemi:  just install ubuntu-desktop package
varikonniemi: your question is so broad in scale it would malke any answer pretty useless.
varikonniemi: they already use the same repos
as i see  lubuntu 12.10 is available, so it would be my best choice to get 12.10
but ubuntu is better
dr_willis:  You caught me :) I am a recent convert to the world of Linux
InspectorCluseau: Yeah I almost bought an ATI video card when my NVIDIA graphics card broke. Good thing I choosed NVIDIA again, since I wasn't aware at that time of bad support for ATI linux drivers.
Yakut: Lubuntu uses LXDR. not KDE.
*LXDE
mneptok, thanks cap
boris-semat: there are other dvd ripper apps in the repos.
Yakut: LXDE
I knew it
but I joke with KDE
:D
Yakut: Sorry ;)
dr_willis:  what commands do I use to run it from the terminal?
Yakut: avoid jokes when people need support.
boris-semat:  'vlc'
mneptok, am sorry but its very funny
to joke
Yakut: don't do it. full stop.
these channel is very monotonus
theLinux: not really, I was just showing appreciation. my only problem right now is that the screen that i hooked up to my laptop is slightly blurry, even though it's in it's native resolution
im installing updates for ubuntu first though
I want to make this channel more colorful
Yakut: keep up the offtopic banter and joking and i promise i will make things more interesting for you.
Yakut: your behavior is called trolling. so stop that now!
Bier__: Is there option on your screen, a button to adjust resolution? That could fix it.
Yakut:  thats for #ubuntu-offtopic chat and color
dr_willis:  here is the results from the terminal: [0xb230dc70] mp4 demux error: MP4 plugin discarded (no moov,foov,moof box)
[mov,mp4,m4a,3gp,3g2,mj2 @ 0xb2317700] moov atom not found
[0xb230dc70] avformat demux error: Could not open : Unknown error 1094995529
[mov,mp4,m4a,3gp,3g2,mj2 @ 0xb540c2a0] moov atom not found
there is, let me try
Yakut: this is a support channel, making jokes like that is like spreading misinformation, not fair to newcommers
mneptok> Yakut: keep up the offtopic banter and joking and i promise i will make things more interesting for you." tell me how I can enjoy without stripes on icon at dash
Yakut: i do not use Ubuntu, so i do not have a Dash.
theLinux: the auto button worked! :D
boris-semat:  i would try reencoding with a diffeerent app, and try a different riper tool.
sharp as a nail
i will make things more interesting for you." okay..
)
dr_willis:  ok...i'll give that a shot. Thanks!
Bier__: Awesome ;)
boris-semat:  ive also seen protected dvds that dont playback or have issues on pcs  and older players. ;(
Yakut: that was your last offtopic comment.
dr_willis:  I thought that it could be something like that. I started with 4 dvds and one wouldn't even rip. It stopped after 2 seconds and said it was complete. The others had no problems but won't play after they finish
boris-semat:  i ended up using dvdfab in wine with the problrm ones i had. even then some wouldent rip.
dr_willis:  is it illegal to get them from torrents if you own the dvd?
tell me please good channel where I can speak with people
^)^
^_^
boris-semat:  who knows.. .. ive seen it argued both ways.
it depends on the country. I know it's illegal in the US, though.
any folks on that know where drupal would be installed by default?  is there an easy way to know this with an "apt" command of some kind :)
hey guys, I just updated to 12.10 and date/time dissapeared from menu bar it's not even in the settings anymore... Couldn't google anything abiut it, any idea?
boris-semat: Yes.
my copy of 'titanic' came with a free ditigal download.. that would only work if i used itunes.....
dr_willis:  so what's the best software to use to do this then? I tried handbrake and none of my dvds play.
cmon. when will an op ban him. he is obviously trolling since hours. :(
i think handbreak works.. but i belive its  living ooon its past glory and reputation. i tend to just use k9copy or i think ogmrip  theres othere out also. or dvdfab in wine.
i dont rip a lot of stuff
k1l: do try to keep up, dear.
dr_willis:  ok... I will give some others a shot. Thanks for your help!
what i do rip is tv series i bought. so  some tools do that task better then others
arrg, ec2 is doing my head in,, adduser myuser tothisgroup    doesn't work
useradd -G groupname usertoadd says the user already exists..
how do you add the existing user to another group?
debian/ubuntu is just useradd username togroup as far as i remember
dr_willis:  my hope is to have a entertainment server using xbmc and mythbuntu so i can record live tv and have all of my dvds, music and photos on my tv
NET||abuse: sudo usermod -a -G groupname username
ahhh jeebus.
thank you :)
google results just didn't give that to me.
NET||abuse: thats how I do it, works across the board :)
is it possible to install windows games on ubuntu?
NET||abuse: man pages ;)
Bier__: in wine, maybe
NET||abuse:  see a variant on this question about 3 times a week in here
Bier__: some apps have native installers too
Bier__: yes, take alook into wine and the wine appdb
Why is there a >10GB big ".xsession-errors" file in my home-directory? Shouldn't that automatically be cleaned out now and again? Can I do something to get it to keep that file under a few hundred megabytes or so?
NET||abuse: careful with usermod!  that -a is SUPER important!
Bier__, use wine with playonlinux
ActionParsnip: had to know about usermod to even find the man page though :)
ok i will
NET||abuse: true
t4b, no... nothing would clean it out
t4b: you should see what's in it :)
i'd like to install hitman blood money
t4b: read the files, you are having issues in your x server
Bier__: check the appdb
Bier__: it shows the apps that work and don't work and how to make them work etc
Bier__: take a look into the appdb to see if the game runs with wine and what exactly will or wont work
thank you
exit
Bier__, there is great app on ubuntu software center "playonlinux" it just great it automates the installation of many steps like winetricks
Hello, is there an alternative for UnetBooting? I would use Unetbooting, but everytime I try to open it, my PC will log out.
Osmodivs:  the pendrivelinux site has dozens of alternatives
jrib, ActionParsnip: I looked into the file, it seems to mostly consist of errors thrown by nautilus and totem and other random errors thrown by programs I launched. It's not even all errors, there is also stuff which is labeled "info" or "warning". I don't find anything which is common about the stuff n there.
lot out = back to the login screen?  thats 'X crashing' not logging out...   ;)
Osmodivs: you can also dd a ubuntu iso
*in
t4b: put the last thousand or so lines in a pastebin?
jrib, okay
dr_willis: Well, X is crashing a lot these past days
thanks)
Osmodivs: 1 2 3 app from pendrive linux
Osmodivs: usb-creator in Ubuntu
hm ubuntu update failed
hey how can u resume a download instead of starting all over again using sftp terminal
do you know why
operation failed
i will try again
Bier__: run "sudo do-release-update" in terminal
Bier__: upgrade of the same release, or are you trying to get to the next release
just updating
Bier__: fyi lix's comment is to go to a new release of ubuntu, not just a system update
lix: do-release-upgrade not needed dude...
ah
fellayaboy, you cant
update not necessary?
fellayaboy: use something like rsync next time
Hi, I'm wondering if anyone has installed a HP printer before. I'm trying to install a HP DESKJET 2050A on Ubuntu 10.04. I'm using the CUPS Web Interface to manually select my printer to install, as the device is not being recognised automatically. The closest printer CUPS lists to my DESKJET 2050A is the DESKJET 2000. I tried the option but it didn't work. What can I do?
ActionParsnip: sorry. - must have misread Bier's issue...
lix: ;)
wow ok..so what if i use sftp at the beginning will rsync pick up where sftp left off or do i have to use rsync from the beginning when transfering a file
fellayaboy: rsync from the beginning
fellayaboy, yes
ohh well bye bye sftp its been a long journey
my hdmi audio is not working any help?
fellayaboy, if you have a partial file rsync can work from that
jrib, here: https://gist.github.com/ddfe5da4e3dd38b12374
by partial file u mean a file thats imcomplete?
fellayaboy, yes
I am trying out Ubuntu from arch linux for kicks. WHERE the heck do I change the Xresources and Xdefaults? Do I have to create them manually and then change what for them to be read?
ok
FireStorms: is it a desktop OS?
thats good then thank u
ActionParsnip, yes
has anyone got their hdmi audio working with a sapphire hd 7770?
t4b: Coin error in SoNode::GLRenderS(): GL error: 'GL_INVALID_OPERATION', nodetype: Separator (set envvar COIN_GLERROR_DEBUGGING=1 and re-run to get more information)
t4b: what's that about?
FireStorms: Lucid desktop has little over 6 months support left. Is it worth it?
jrib, haven't got a clue, I think it's probably a game I run which threw that one each render cycle or something like that.
help, I restarted my virtualbox, and now when I start it up it loads up until the login page but doesn't show any login options and I can't do anything
t4b: ok well you can just delete ~/.xsession-errors if there's nothing obviously wrong
the mouse moves ok but all I see is the login background
Xix19: tried the boot option:  nomodeset
ActionParsnip: how do I try it?
baldfat: re .Xdefaults, i have to use ~/.Xdefaults-YOURHOSTNAMEHERE to get it to work myself.  best of luck.
zykotick9: thnaks
zykotick9: that looks back@zzwards
jrib, just did so, I guess I'll see if it starts growing to those sizes again
my hdmi audio is not working when i run aplay -l i get this ard 0: SB [HDA ATI SB], device 0: ALC889 Analog [ALC889 Analog]
  Subdevices: 1/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
card 0: SB [HDA ATI SB], device 3: ALC889 Digital [ALC889 Digital]
  Subdevices: 1/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
t4b: yeah, you probably have one app that just constantly throws out one of those messages.  google suggests maybe "freecad".  Do you use that?
baldfat: i've actually asked about why the hostname was required - i was told to check the man page ;) sure enough, it's documented.  IMO it's a huge pain, 'cause you can't just transfer the file to new installs, must rename with box's hostname attached to the file :(
Is there a way to "merge" 2 partitions in an USB memory stick? I need all the memory available, but currently it is divided in 2 partitions. I have GParted, but do not know how to use it.
zykotick9, baldfat: can't you use ~/.Xresources ?
Osmodivs, move the data off. delete one paritition. grow the other. move the data back
baldfat: see jrib's comment above.  i don't seem to use .Xresources (ie. not one on my install right now, so can't confirm)
ActionParsnip, I see no reason to upgrade
escott: That was easy, thx.
i cant get my Ubuntu to work with my backlight keys one eeepc 1101HA, it is not changing the /sys/class/backlight/psb-lb/brightness, it's using the acpi/brightness instead, any workaround?
FireStorms: could try upgrading hplip using the run file from the hplip site
FireStorms: the newer versions of packages and such may make the printer just work
anyone can help me with bugsqud i don't know what to do ?
PhoenixSTF: let me search
PhoenixSTF: try the boot option: poulsbo.blacklist=yes
PhoenixSTF: http://doc.ubuntu-fr.org/asus_eee_pc_1101   source
dose anyone know how to update catalyst control center
PhoenixSTF: actually scratch that, add: acpi_backlight=vendor
ghostconn: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade
How can I find out information about the memory installed in a computer? Like how much ram, the speed of the ram etc.
saxin, dmidecode
saxin: "cat /proc/meminfo"
ActionParsnip : I have already done those commands.. I have a ati hd7770 my hdmi audio shows up under sound setting/output but i get no sound??
Anyone have an issue after installing, everything seems to go well and then after you enter your password your screen goes wonky with weird artifacts?
saxin: that's some of what you wanted.  for speed you'll probably need hwinfo (not a program i know)
linux noob question --- if i want to install a CMS like Plone - what directory should it go under?  /usr/local?
ghostconn: if you run: alsamixer   are all levels maxed and unmuted? If you press F6 in alsamxer  is the right output device set?
chucktewks: IMO you should leave all of /usr to the system, my vote is to use /opt
i have a question though...why is it that gui clients like firefox fireftp or filezilla have a resume but terminal based sftp doesnt
fellayaboy: it doesn't?
fellayaboy: because they have coded it into the app.
chucktewks: i'm very conservative (old school unix) in my admin style.  see "man hier" for more official source of info ;)
chucktewks, the way i have always done it is: if it installs to a monolithic folder then put it under /opt/PROGRAM_NAME. if it has a unix like layout (with /usr/bin and /usr/lib) then put it in /usr/local
yeah one based on GUI  ,and the other based terminal..
ActionParsnip, actualy I tried all types of conbinations with these options acpi_osi=Linux (because i am having a bit of batery detection issue) acpi_backlight=vendor, poulsbo.blacklist=yes, eeepc.blacklist=yes
so i guess all one has to do is modify the source code for sftp terminal
chucktewks: I follow escott's approach too
thanks all
Actionparsnip : i followed your command and have set the default sound to my hdmi via alsamixer noting is muted but still no sound yes my tv volume is up
ActionParsnip, all that acpi_backlight=vendor gets me is the recognition that I use the fn+f5/f6 keys, but it is always the psb-bl/brightness file that rules over the backlight, and the keys wont work on that file, they always work on the other one
is it common for a program to put itself under /usr/share?  (e.g. drupal)
no
ghostconn: if you run the 'sound' app in dash, is the right device set for output there?
PhoenixSTF: all I can suggest is report a bug. Do you have the latest BIOS?
ActionParsnip: yes
:(
ActionParsnip, yes, bug was reported since 11.04 or 11.10
PhoenixSTF: gah
chucktewks, if you dont configure otherwise look at ./configure --prefix and also use checkinstall
should i maybe restart my pc after changing the default sound card through alsamixer?
ghostconn: worth a shot
sounds settings are set to hdmi out, volume is up on both tv and system, alsamixer set to HDA ATI Sb Realtek ALC889 nothing muted ( i turned off auto mute) STILL NO SOUND what could it be
ActionParsnip : do you think it would be wise to install the post release update ati driver if I already have a working fglrx driver installed
i have just upgraded to 11.10 and my fan is running constantly at full speed.... toshiba notebook amd components... in ALL of the previous versions  this has not happened.... solution?
cryptodira: Install Ubuntu 12.04 or 12.10.
 Hey can anyone advised me how can I fix this issue with maximize window? http://i.imgur.com/fiBT5.png  the bottom window is not maximised as he suppost to
thelinux; i suspected as much... thanks.
in 12.04.1, the PATH for my username doesnt include any of the sbin directories, so I cant run things like ifconfig without using sudo. possible to fix?
compdoc: umm, what's in your /etc/environment?
zatan: How do you mean?
zatan: I wasn't able to reproduce that bug.
jrib, the proper path is there. the one sudo uses
but my path is less
compdoc: grep PATH ~/.profile ~/.*bash* ~/.pam*
is there a command to upgrade to 12:10?
ghostconn: also '.' is used, not ':' :)
ghostconn: sudo apt-get dist-upgrade.
thelinux, ghostconn: that will *not* upgrade between releases
thank you :) .... and what do you mean it wont upgrade?
ghostconn: what's not clear? apt-get dist-upgrade is not the command you want.  See ubottu
talking about that... when would you recommend an update to 12.10 or stay in the LTS version?
jrib, http://pastebin.com/E7UW3Z4d
ghostconn: Or go to software sources, updates, check notify of new updates.  Go to update manager it should offer you download of Ubuntu.
compdoc: what is your PATH?  echo $PATH
Summun: depends on your needs
ghostconn: You're using Ubuntu 12.04?
yes i am
its:  /usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/local/games:/usr/games
can anyone help me install a snes emulator for ubuntu?  the one from the Ubuntu Software Center, NES ROM player does not work for me, crashes instantly after i click a rom
compdoc: how did you login?
Summun: i like playing with the latest stuff.. for a business i would stick to lts
jrib sorry i understand now i thought you were saying that by doing so it would not upgrade lol
remotely to vncserver
jrib  ^
Bier__: I might help you, I've used emulators.
dr_willis, what about if i use it to work in the university, as a student, lts?
i see one named Zsnes, but it displays not found
Bier__: run it from a terminal. look for errors when it crashes
zsnes at one time was 32 bit only... not sure if thats still the case
compdoc: does the same thing happen if you use ssh?
Bier__: Look online for Zsnes emulator. And I'm not sure if even NES ROM would work, since I think it's meant for NES games not SNES.
zsnes is the best emu ever.
jrib, hmm, the path is correct with ssh
zsnes is super nes.
Bier__: sudo apt-get update, sudo apt-get install zsnes
compdoc: hmm, which vnc server is this?
i get zsnes has no installation candidate
vnc4server
Bier__: http://www.zsnes.com/
yeah i have downloaded the tar file
Bier__: you on 12.10?
yes
weird.
i have extracted the package but how do i launch it
Bier__: what is the output from "uname -m" on your system?
Bier__: You need to compile it.
x86_64
Bier__: You sure there isn't zsnes in repositories, since I typed sudo apt-get install zsnes, it showed right away.
zsnes installed fine here....
Bier__: use the terminal. cd to the dir.     ./zsnes   perhaps
when i look in software center it shows up
but when i click on it it says
dr_willis: i'm guessing zsnes is failing to install for Bier__ due to the 32/64bit thing.
12.10 64 bit .. zsnes installed via apt-get
"there isnt a software package called zsnes in your current software sources:
dr_willis: guess it's something else then ;)
Bier__ dr_willis: I have 32 bit, and it can install here too.
so i go to edit > software sources and check all
universe repo not enabled?
i dont follow
compdoc: I'm not familiar with vnc4server, have you done any special configuration for it?
no, but this gives me a clue now - thanks
can ubuntu do ARGB transparency for gtk elements
be sure  thh universe reposity is enabled   Bier__
Bier__: Go to software sources, Ubuntu software tab, and check all there.
hi
i have theLinux
compdoc: ok good luck.  You can always work around it of course by using ~/.profile.  But if you want to get to the bottom of the issue, I guess you have to investigate more
Bier__: Change "download from" to different server.
hi
q2 does ubuntu officially not support NVidia GT640 (i got some later drivers, i get multiple screens, compiz fails, but gl apps work)
jrib, I can just add a path in ~/.profile?
Bier__: sudo apt-get update  and try again to install it.
say I installed the beta of 12.10 and installed all upgrades. Do I now have the regular stable version?
systemclient: yes
systemclient: If upgrade was sucessfull, you should than.
dr_willis: zykotick9 thelinux thanks!
in terminal how do I check to see what is my current desktop environment
Bier__: Did you change the server from software sources and tried to download it? Please post results here.
yes theLinux, im trying the update now
cat      .dmrc        perhaps yote
but theres no gurantees
thanks
yote: ls -l /usr/share/xsessions/
sill not found
Package zsnes is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
E: Package 'zsnes' has no installation candidate
in terminal
and in software center:
I have a boot problem with Ubuntu. I have a laptop HP Pavilion G7 with a AMD APU A8 4500m. Ican't boot from CD and can't install ubuntu. What can I do?
hi
Jim_: did you set it in the BIOS to boot from CD?
thanks thelinux
itworked
how change language in webalizer please ?
i tried using the command     sudo apt-get dist-upgrade ....... to upgrade my version from 12.04 to 12.10 and 0ugrades available
Yes I can boot from cd. After I got the cd menu it's stop working
is kubuntu ubuntu?
Jim_: you mean the bootloader where you can select the various boot options and language?
XiaYixuan: yes, but with KDE instead of Unity
kk
XiaYixuan: try #kubuntu as well
so how do i use the zsnes tar package i downloaded
but it's not in fr :\
yes that bootloader
ubuntu is only unity? no gnome anymore?
XiaYixuan, Unity is on Gnome (3)
Bier__: TRy this, go to software sources, other software tab, and check independent repositories if they aren't.
:(
XiaYixuan: nope, the last version with Gnome 2 was 11.10 I think
kk
yote: No problem.
XiaYixuan: there is an Ubuntu Gnome Remix with Gnome 3
First I have tried Ubuntu studio and there I got the same problem than in Ubuntu
XiaYixuan, maybe you search Gnome-Panel or Gnome-Shell
XiaYixuan: but you can just install gnome3 in regular Ubuntu
Bier__: Check those independent from other sources, than sudo apt-gte update from terminal and try to install now.
if gnome is set to devastating then I don' t care
Kubuntu will be fine
XiaYixuan, unity is a shell for gnome. unity is gnome
systemclient: Ubuntu 11.04
I don't like the left side of unity
theLinux: in that tab i see only a cd, probably my install cd
for ubuntu
so cumbersome
unity is a plugin for compiz
XiaYixuan, try Gnome-Xhell ..or Gnome-Panel
and its checked
Gnome-Panel same GUI for Gnome2
s/Xhell/Shell
XiaYixuan: If you don't like Unity, try MATE, it's fork of gnome 2.x.
thelinux, no thanks. I don't like old stuff that much
just install gnome-panel if you search old interface
I think it's my AMD APU that is the problem. Is Amd A8 4500m supported in ubuntu?
XiaYixuan: It isn't old, it's constantly updating with a wide and large community.
of course the gmome fallback mode is set to get phased out in the future...
thelinux, it is destined to die eventually, when all the major gtk2/gnome2 apps are converted to gtk3/gnome3
will convert*
compdoc: sure, you can just define it there
for old school look. i use lxde
can I put /var/run on a ramdisk (tmpfs)?
any for weblizer ? :)
compdoc: assuming vnc4server likes /that/ file :)
Bier__: You're missing repositories I guess.
Jim_: maybe you have some luck here: http://www.ubuntu.com/certification
 12:10 will i loose all my setting and torrent downloading?
spindritf: i thought it allready was... let me look.
kostkon: Not really. They plan to port it to Gtk3
by upgrading to 12:10 will i loose all my settings
any way to fix that?
ghostconn: No.
thelinux, hmm ok
thank you
dr_willis, not on my ubuntu 12.10 64bit install, I know I can move /tmp and /var/log to memory, but I also see /var/run being used by some apps a little too much
Bier__: you were already told it may be because you use 64bit and znes is only aviable for 32bit
my /run is on tmpfs here
32bit sucks
Bier__: Yes. You just need to add those missing repositories. I'll help you, let me check.
yeah that could be xangua
ghostconn: Why?
performance
multicore lol
i think its 32 bit only
Bier__: Go to software sources, other software tab, add source: deb http://extras.ubuntu.com/ubuntu quantal main
i just installed   zsnes in 64 bit ubuntu
dr_willis Bier__ He was missing other software repositories.
hi
doesn't work :(
how do i play 3D HSBS video on Ubuntu?
usb-startup-gtk
usb-creator-gtk*
dr_willis, you're right, /run is on tmpfs, my mistake
XiaYixuan: Which version of ubuntu you have?
12.04
the gui is different
XiaYixuan: You can use unetbootin as alternative.

manually adding "PPA" ... what am i supposed to do with the signing key
hello, I am trying to set up vsftp as a secure FTP server and was hoping to get a little direction. In particular, the general guide specifies enabling "chroot_local_user=YES" for security, but in the example conf file, it has a warning about potential risks of enabling that option. Can anyone shed some light here for me? Or point me in the direction of a more complete guide?
ikonia: there is a minus sign for removing chinese language, but it's gray... I figured if I was root... maybe I could use it :)
philux-Gevrey: you just want to mount the tab, not installing ubuntu on it, right?
lix right
eager: I don' think so
ikonia: but I get the per user thing
:(
I can see it on nautilus, but not dl files from it
i've thrown some extra lines into my sources list "deb http://ppa.launch......"  ; i did sudo-apt-get update, it says something about some signatures not being vrified NO_PUBKEY... there's "signing key" on the site tellimg me to do this, but no instrutction of what to do tiwht it

boys, any idea how to __purge chinese locale__ ? (12.04)
ikonia, Yes, and all I see is something about symlinks
hilo: ok, so there you go
Bier__:  my sources.list that had zsnes -->  http://paste.ubuntu.com/1351277/
unless im confused and it came from a ppa. ;)
boys, where can I erase CHINESE locale's dictionaries?
chrooting can break symlinks, or symlinks could let you get out of a chroot... ;) perhaps  hilo
I get lots of chinese (12.04)
theLinux: deb http://extras.ubuntu.com/ubuntu quantal main
oops
wrong text
configure error: you need NASM install to compile zsnes
keyboard layout settings is buggy, but as a workaround I'd like to purge chinese dictionaries, so it falls back to English
please
Newa: hi.....my vi editor is not working properly
Bier__:  so install nasm?
eager: system settings, language support. You can delete it from there buddy.
Bier__:  or try my sources.list
viki: install vim, if you want arrow keys to work ;)
vim tiny  vs vim 'full' differances. ;)
i wll try your list dr_willis
zykotick9:  what about backspace
viki: try vim ;)
eager: Did that work?
zykotick9: ok ....thanx for suggestion .....i am going to try it...
thelinux: I can't, since it has not checked: nothing to uncheck (it is a known bug)
i dont recall needing to install vim/vim-full in ages on a new install.
Bier__: sudo apt-get install nasm. And try to compile again zsnes.
i dont understand what to do with that list
dr_willis, thanks. How do I use the nopriv_user to lock this down? If I create a new user, what do I need to do to make sure it is safely unprivileged
thelinux: only English and Hungarian are checked, therefore I cannot remove one from chinese's
ah i typed NASM instead of nasm
installing now
hilo:  no idea. i dont bother with chrooting to lock them down
i bet zsnes will need more stuff installed to compile properly
Bier__: zsnes is in the playdeb repo....
i need to install a recent version of lightdm on 12.04. currently lightdm version 1.2.1 is available via apt-get. i'm told the version I want (1.4.0) is available in Quantal. what's the easiest way to obtain the later version?
zykotick9: what command should i use to enter in editor mode in vim
stephelton:  why do you need a newer version?

hi, I'd like to use Terminus as my terminal's (KDE's konsole) font. The option 'draw intense colors in bold font' doesn't have any effect on Terminus, despite it having a bold variant. Other fonts respect this, Any idea why?
stephelton:  best way sould to see if its in backports or find a ppa
zykotick9:  no...i meant to say ...as we use vi...in vi editor ...is same in vim
system in question runs ubuntu 12.04
dr_willis: can i use quantal ppa? if not, i might as well just compile from source...
Bier__: what is the output of:  lsb_release -sc
how to enter in vim editor
viki: press 'i'
viki: once you install vim, then typing both vi and vim will most likely start the same thing.
stephelton:  not a good idea to mix release repos
Please some one help me with ssh
:(
Bier__: are you wanting zsnes?
viki: hitting ESC exits insert mode
dr_willis: not a good idea to mix any non-standard repos IMO
keyur: what is the issue?
keyur: elaborate
dr_willis: vimtutor appears to be part of vim-runtime package
i m having access to one server
ah no dash ;)
theLinux installing nasm gets met: could not determine root device from /etc/fstab
dr_willis: can i convince the system to pull a single package from the quantal repo?
which is based on rsa public key authenication
ActionParsnip: not per se, i just want to play snes roms :p
stephelton:  i dont think so
so i given them my public key
and now when i m joining
theLinux: and the sub-proc
Bier__: then you'll need an emulator, what is the output of the command please
it says
Permission denied (publickey).
dr_willis: the annoying thing is that this newer version will probably be available in 12.04 in a matter of days... \=
:(
could some one help me please
:(
theLinux sub-process /ussr/bin/dpkg returned an error code
keyur: can you use password authentication?
zykotick9: but  when i type vi..than i'll enter in vi editor
still not sure why Bier__  repos dont include zsnes..
no :(
actionparsnip: quantal
there is no password authenication
dr_willis: what do i do with that list?
keyur: are you sure your ssh-agent is sending the correct key?
yes
viki: when you type "vim" is there a VIM - Vi IMproved splash screen?
Bier__:  its my /etc/apt/sources.list   compare it to yours
could come on private chat
keyur: debugged it yet with ssh -vv?
so i could explain you better
keyur: ok
Bier__:  or rename yours and copy mine over. then sudo apt-get update, sudo apt-get upgrade, then sudo apt-get install zsnes
upgrade may not be needed. ;) update is...
as far as i know thats a default 12.10 sources.list
Bier__: wget http://archive.getdeb.net/install_deb/getdeb-repository_0.1-1~getdeb1_all.deb; sudo dpkg -i ./getdeb-repository_0.1-1~getdeb1_all.deb; rm ./getdeb-repository_0.1-1~getdeb1_all.deb; rm ./getdeb-repository_0.1-1~getdeb1_all.deb; sudo apt-get update
hey can i ask a generic linux question?
Bier__: then run:   sudo apt-get install bsnes
rickb: as long as its ubuntu related, yes
can someone tell me the string i'd have to use to rename files with a  _1 before hte file extension? i want to make something like FL123TS_1.jpg to just FL123TS.jpg
:3
Bier__: after you add that ppa (via the deb) you can install apps using the buttons on the playdeb site
ActionParsnip: right above, didn't hilight you sry.
rickb: I'd ask in #bash
How do I create an unprivileged user to run applications in chroot jail?
gotta love web apt: urls
ah ok
rickb: or there is a rename app in the repos (if memory serves)
hilo: you just create a non-root user
dr_willis: handy :)
dr_willis: its how I got urban terror
hilo:  why do you need to go the extra step of a chroot jail?
ActionParsnip: ah yeah i can do the stuff locally but its on a remote serer
server
dr_willis, I am creating an internet facing FTP server and and don't want to leave any open doors
rickb:  i tend to use 'qmv' from the rename-utils package. but its a bit more complex then what you need. but its handy
hilo: Then, remove FTP.
jpds: bravo
cool
lulz jpds
a ftp user dosent run apps... or am i missing somthing
The goal is to have it FTPS (FTP over SSL)
hello out there
Can you suggest a better option?
rickb: its the same on a server
ssh/sftp?
dr_willis, ssh/sftp requires users with shell access. Isn't that a way way bigger security risk?
hilo: No bigger security risk than FTP.
hilo:  theres ways to  have sftp only users i belive.
dr_willis, I read that FTPS was better because users can be given nologin shell
with no shell access
hilo: that has nothing to do with ftps, ftp servers can do that
ah ok
http://www.thegeekstuff.com/2012/03/chroot-sftp-setup/
actionparsnip: after install bsnes i get: /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
Bier__: is that when trying to install the bsnes package?
ciao
dr_willis, ikonia, is there any kind of guide or howto?
Bier__: try:  sudo apt-get -f install
yes

fedora 11 ???
VlanX: how do you know ?
VlanX: is this problem affecting you ?
actionparsnip: error: dpkg status database is locked by another process
ikonia: yes it is, i killed the process and all went ok
ikonia:  ;) i stopped reading after it mentioned fedora and head parking
VlanX: "all went ok" what symptoms where you seeing
VlanX: Has your disk died on 12.10?
VlanX: you need to explain the issue
Bier__:  be sure software center and other apps are closed
VlanX: the issue YOU are seeing
Bier__: or reboot
ikonia: i'm using Gkrellm so i saw 20 mbps writes to my ssd that were going on since i don't know when
VlanX: Hmm.
and the cause was this process gone crazy
isent that thread dated 2009?
VlanX: if you are genuinly concerned about it, monitor with iostat, and log a bug agaist it
dr_willis: yes, hence why I suspect it's not happening
;)
ikonia: so why as soon as i killed  gnome-settings-daemon it suddently stopped?
why is it doing that in the first place?
VlanX: do what I suggested
ok
ikonia: can i also kill a process with iostat if it exceedes some threshold of cpu utilization or hdd wirtes?
VlanX: no
No.
VlanX: cpu utilizaion ???? where did that come from, you said hard disk writes a minute ago
ikonia: do you think that i could realize which process it was if it didn't also chomp half of the CPU time?
VlanX: so now it's eating disk and cpu time
ubuntu sucks
yon_: do'nt use it
ikonia: i couldn't care less about the cpu, but i'm concerned about SSD writes
i cant
VlanX:
VlanX: Better turn off your computer then...
VlanX: Why? Isnt a SSD designed to write things, too?
i cant that too
VlanX: If so, mount the FS read-only...
anyone here got a gt640 or similar working in ubuntu?
for compiz (it works in ubuntu2d)
bekks: two hours of continuous SSD wirtes @ 20mbps? have fun with that
VlanX: Works for years here, currently.
VlanX: I have much more constant writes here, when doing things.
Hi All ... My corporate setup has some issues with SSLCipherSuite and cookie generation ....can this stuff be discussed in this channel ?
bekks:  well, pardon me but i would prefer not having useless ssd activity going on in the background
VlanX: My activity is usefull... like deploying VMs massively, etc.
VlanX: if you make a fresh user, is it ok there?
VlanX: Find out what's causing that activity and please don't spread FUD about something you don't know what you're talking about.
VlanX: 20Mbps is not normal behaviour, on an SSD or HDD.
i hate ubuntu
VlanX: So whats causing your I/O then?
iostat is not showing anything odd here.
 bekks: gnome-settings-daemon like i told
akashj87: well, it's your discretion not to spill any information that could be used against you or your corp. so, sure, go ahead.
VlanX: if you make a fresh user, is it ok there?
hey ikonia u didnt as me why i hated ubuntu
VlanX: Tried using a fresh user or using another desktop environment?
ok thank you all i will reboot now, but then i have to cook so i will try later
akashj87: although, if you think it is not ubuntu-specific, you'd perhaps be better off in ##linux
yon_: not interested, stop now
ActionParsnip: i don't know it just happened

i was just lucky to notice
VlanX: just VlanX http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/1351389/
VlanX: So it didnt happen for hours now, correct?
VlanX: Then it could of just been a one-off thing.
bekks: it did because i noticed the red led of hdd activity some hours ago, but didn't bother looking what it was

ActionParsnip, ikonia, i'm not telling it happens as soon as you log on your account, just happened randomly without m eeven doing anything.  Maybe just remote desktop, that's all
not music or something else i am talking about the root filesystem cydia apps
VlanX: I've been logged in for approx 4 hours now
yon_: the iphone is locked to non-apple managment, so please stop wasting time with this dribble
yon_: this is your last warning.
yon_, is your ipod jailbroken? if yes, use ssh to access those files
0
sorry.
VlanX: but this is your original account with your settings...right?
ActionParsnip: yes it is
fuse doesnt work correctly on linux
VlanX: so, if your settings are causing the issue, making a fresh user with default zero settings will test that, won't it
VlanX: then we will know if it is actually the application itself, or some setting you have that is causing the issue
ikonia, you need to relax a little...this is irc...not congress
fuse has always worked well for me.
fay: please concern yourself with your own behaviour
ActionParsnip: but if it happened just for 2 hours in 7 days uptime, at least afaik, how can i troubleshoot that?
VlanX: you need to explore the situatoin, see what makes it happen and not happen
ikonia: wasnt aware i was misbehaving, some one asked a question, i answered
is there an equivalent to the disk utility for a headless server?
fay: I didn't say you where misbehaving
ubuntuaddicted: what do you want to achieve?
ubuntuaddicted: iotop, du
bekks, i want to keep on an eye on a hard drive bad sector count
ActionParsnip: it might be remote desktop, however, how can i know which files was it writing?  with iostat?
ubuntuaddicted: then use smartctl
VlanX: or:  lsof
ActionParsnip, smartmontools isn't working
ubuntuaddicted: just ssh into that box with X forwarding and run disk utility from there
bekks, it isn't working
ubuntuaddicted: "isnt working" means?=
ubuntuaddicted: if it has ANY, I'd just replace it
bekks, it states Error Counter logging not supported and Device does not support Self Test logging
ubuntuaddicted: So it works perfectly.
ubuntuaddicted: Your drive does not support those features then.
ActionParsnip, it's only 2 years old, 1TB drive
so?
ubuntuaddicted: then it's under warranty more than likely
bekks, then how does disk utility get it's info?
ActionParsnip, I guess I should look into that. It has 379 bad sectors
ubuntuaddicted: Error counter logging is irrelevant for the bad sector count.
ubuntuaddicted: Just use smartctl -a
bekks, what smartctl command to run then?
bekks, that reports the same thing
ubuntuaddicted: 379 bad sectors? Throw it away, honestly.
bekks, smartctl -a shows SMART Health Status: OK
ubuntuaddicted: And...?
ubuntuaddicted: You have bad sectors. Replace that drive.
ubuntuaddicted: yikes, definately take that back
hi
ActionParsnip, bekks ok, thanks for the input
ActionParsnip, bekks i just thought there was a smartctl command I could run that showed the same thing that disk utility showed
VlanX: I've just remote desktop'ed into my own machine and see no difference
ikonia: i used it too in the past and it happened only now
ActionParsnip, bekks can you run sudo badblocks -v /dev/sde when the drive is mounted?
ubuntuaddicted: You can, but you should not... you have chances to frag your filesystem entirely.
bekks, okm thanks
ubuntuaddicted: you know it has problems....send it back
why are you making this hard

ubuntuaddicted: right, so back it up and bin it the
the
then
ubuntuaddicted: apply common sense.....it has a problem, the more manpipulation you do with it, the great the risk of data loss
why is it always like pulling teeth with you
ikonia, yeah, i guess but i thought you could mark bad blocks as unusable and if the bad sector count doesn't rise then its ok to use
ubuntuaddicted: Totally wrong.
ubuntuaddicted: it's got a fault
379 bad sectors on a 1TB drive isn't that many i didn't think
Thats 379 bad blocks to much.,
Replace that drive.
k, thanks guys.
hello. i changed with compizconfig-settings-manager the values for "horizontal virtual size" and for "vertical" desktop size from "2" to "3" but the changes wont take effect. not even after a reboot. why?
patr|ck: Maybe it's not an effect you can "see"
this "effect" allows me to have 9 instead of 4 virtual desktops to switch from/to
for the number of desktops? dosent unity need it to be square
how do i list the files in a deb package? particuarily, I want to know what's the binary that gets installed from calibre-bin
here on the laptop i have 3x2
errr
3x3
dr_willis: You have a point :-)
isent there a     X x Y   setting?)
but lets try 4x4
how do you share folders (documents) from another system on the same computer- thanks in advance
TRY IT FOR SCIENCE!
negative, 3x3 or 4x4 makes no difference
please stop
louiemat: what os on each system
12.04 ubuntu
it's not science unless it leaves a crater
louiemat: samba. ssh. sshfs. nfs
and the other is pinguy os
ikonia: so i can run iostat against a specific process?
no
Choose either the 12.10 release for all the latest software
or 12.04.1 LTS for long-term support.
which one?
whichever one YOU want
hypernova: Your choice...
should I choose :S
whichever one YOU want
patr|ck: Have you tried checking the logs?
flip a coin
long term support sounds good
endguy, for what?
:S
then pick that one
ok thanks
comiz, xsession, etc...
:)
hypernova: have you done ANY research into them ?
compiz*
no ikonia
hypernova: come on ???
:S
look for errors
hypernova: unless you have an ivey-bridge cpu
debugging is an important skill if you want to successfully use linux
s/ivey/ivy
i dunno that
hypernova: "I've done no research, and know nothing about either platform, random group of strangers tell me what I should use without any information"
:S
hypernova: how about do some research into the operating systems YOU want to use and make an educated decision
13.04  ;-)
lol
ok ikonia
:S
and stop doing :S
lol
hypernova: i imagine eithet will do you fine
dr_willis I'm a newbe could you tell me step  by step - sorry for the inconveniance
:S ok
:S
unwise
ikonia: stop being such a nazi
endguy: please don't call me a nzai
nazi
facist?
endguy: I would kindly ask you to behave
endguy: don't call people names
louiemat: samba. ssh. sshfs. nfs   look them up. sshfs would be the easiest to setup.
nope, nothing in the logs about ccsm
i want ubuntu to use free xchat
louiemat: samba is also ysed for windows.
http://forum-img.pinside.com/pinball/forum/?bb_attachments=319295&bbat=34923&inline
hypernova: that's your whole requirement
patr|ck: it may not be called ccsm
gt640.. hmmm. the nvidia card works. the opengl acceleration works (i can compile and run my own GL apps). its just compiz.
hypernova: Then install it, and use it.
i've been through 2 ppa guides. maybe it just doesn't work with compiz, still.
lulz
hypernova: there is xchat for free for windows
hypernova, you can do that in Windows
thanks Dr willis
ikonia: why dont you chill alittle, irc gets off topic and rude sometimes, but shocker .... lol its okay
patr|ck: pastebin a copy of ~/.xsession-errors
fay: no, it's not
fay: this is strictly support channel (:
fay: please check the guidelines for using the ubuntu channel
xchat silverx  i think is a free xchat for windows
OpenSorce : xchat for window is paid
dr_willis: it's free
shareware
there is a paid update to make the license popup go away
or theres irssi
witch is very free
hmmm
irssi is great
hypernova: theres free variants of xchat for windows
fay: for windows....really
irssi <3
yeah... never understood why it's a free app on linux, but shareware on windows.
cygwin
hello could someone help me improving a simple bash script ?
anyways
KM0201, It isn't shareware, you aren't buying the app you are paying them to compile it for you
thanks
all
I know this isnt the proper channel to do so
ok
cnap: then don't ask
use the proper channel
is there any ?
last i looked tgere were like 5 variants if xchat for windows. official is shareware   others were free
cnap: I'm sure there are people here who could, but you'd get better luck #bash
OpenSorce: try hydrairc, its free
cnap: #bash :)
thanks guys :)
im partial to bitchx
OpenSorce: or pidgin
i just noticed that it installed unity-2d - maybe due to the slow hardware
ActionParsnip, I use Xchat on Ubunut 12.04 I'm good
ugg, pidgin for irc?
so that stupid thing does not even use compiz
OpenSorce: i thought you wanted a windows client
oh no!!
ActionParsnip, thanks again for the breakfast advice this morning :-)
OpenSorce: hehe
ActionParsnip: it was another user, he's left
o m g
patr|ck: indeed. i'm not sure unity-2d supports all the fancy stuff... i honestly think unity sucks and prefer GNOME
KM0201: thanks
ActionParsnip, no, some guy was saying he wanted Ubuntu to get free Xchat we were telling him it's free for Windows too
yeah, i am tempted to trash it and install Ubuntu 10.04 instead
patr|ck: why?
to get a real gnome
ikonia: can i make a script that kills this process if it reaches some cpu util threshold?  since this bug only takes places if the cpu % rises, it would be quite easy to prevent that.
patr|ck: could install xubuntu 12.10
that seems a bit extreem
extreme*
patr|ck: apt-get install gnome-shell
VlanX: you could right something like that,
patr|ck: its made using gtk and doesnt have unity
endguy, lets try that
select gnome classic before login
hi how to reset config for bt5
ikonia: right?
ActionParsnip, aha. hmmm
VlanX: what do you mean "right ?"
ikonia: it's you that said so...
ActionParsnip: I'm pretty sure that same feature is available in Ubuntu 12.10
VlanX: I siad so what ?
ActionParsnip: gdm
<ikonia> VlanX: you could right something like that,
did u mean write?
oops
Ubuntu 9.10 \n \l
VlanX: yes, you could right something like that
yes, sorry, typo
"write"
k :)
sorr
sorry
write it the right way even
endguy: i believe it uses lightdm, like ubuntu does
ActionParsnip: Not any longer, you can pick between lightdm and gdm
thanks a lot, guys!
endguy: at install time?
VlanX: I'm pushing my cpu up to %10 - %15 usage, and still seeing no difference (sustained usage)
ActionParsnip: I was able to pick at upgrade time ;-)
endguy: ahh upgrade, not install :)
ActionParsnip: you can simply run dpkg-reconfigure gdm to be given a choice of what desktop manager to use
http://www.webupd8.org/2011/07/how-to-switch-between-gdm-lightdm-or.html <-- as stated there
ikonia: using iostat i realized that process was writing 9GB per hour, presumibly the same blocks over and over again... :(  Since that process wend at >20% when it did so, i could make a script that could kill it since there is no reason it would even take up to 1% cpu.
VlanX: iostat doesn't show you how many GB per hour it's writing
VlanX: it's also not historical
VlanX: I think you are not being honest as you are telling me you are using tools to do things that are not possible
ikonia: ok, but with gkrellm i did know the mbps that it was taking
and at that point I'll back away
hey all, just had something weird happen with my system.  It locked up after going to sleep and when I cycled power to get it back on, it was mirroring the desktop on both screens and would not change back to an extended screen.  Now I am getting these blinking dashes along the top of the one remaining working screen.
VlanX: you are telling me lies about what you are doing - I am done with this sicussion
discussion
oh - and how do i enable that gnome-shell is used instead of unity-2d?
patr|ck: install it, log off. select the new session
patr|ck: here again, you can run dpkg-reconfigure gdm
thank you!
ikonia: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/1351491/
VlanX: sorry, I didn't make myself clear, I am done with this disussuion after you have told me lies
the  login manager shouldent matter for that
endguy, gdm is not installed
you must install it then
ikonia: lies about what? i hope you're joking!
patr|ck: did you install gnome-shell?
lightdm can start gneme-shell
ikonia: please see the pastebin
endguy, yes sir
patr|ck: you're using 12.10, yes?
VlanX: I am done with this discussion after you've told me lies
no, no. i am using 12.04
sorry if i did not make this clear
patr|ck: ok, then just logout and then select your session to be either gnome or gnome classic and log back in
oki doki
now i get it what the tiny little symbol is for :D
:-)
they really need to make it mire ibvious
obvious
dr_willis: little bitr
theres plenty of room
they could use the entire sreen!
screen even
with animated desktop previews
but on the other side - its for mobile devices aswell, right?
;-)
patr|ck: thats a ways off i thi k
coujouland
* patr|ck hugs Ubuntu either way
little bitty buttons on mobile devices.. is annoying
Here's an idea, they should make it so if you click on Xchat for instance in the Launcher it minimizes it.
How to find out what option installer gives to mkfs.ext4 when creating ext4 partitions on SSDs?
dosent minimize apps by  design .... jace_
run 4 xchat windows and it spreads them out
i see that but it should :) dr_willis
minimizing is old school thinking.
just select the app you want to use
jace_, install xchat-indicator. You'll be able then to close xchat and bring it up again from the msging menu.
ok kostkon
jace_, jsut an idea
alrighty, i've got to get back to modeling circuits using differential equations with complex solutions. y'all be good!
application launch time seems to be an issue, i'm waiting on software center to popup...
i just use synaptic ;-)
jace_, usc is always the slowest app in a vanilla ubuntu installation
My sound hasn't been working today. Anything I can try?
dclist, You should be a bit more precise than that
jCuber: What info do you need?
alsamixer: cannot open mixer: No such file or directory
dclist: try:  killall pulseaudio; rm -r ~/.pulse*   wait 10 seconds then reboot
ActionParsnip: No way to do it without reboot?
dclist: might remake the files without a reboot. try it. pulseaudio should automatically restart and regenerate the file and folder
I had trouble with sound crackling and popping when I had flash installed, so I removed it and just watch html5 video controls.  I don't recommend flash anymoe.
dclist, https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=123447
Hallo there's a launchpad admin here ?
jace_: i use pepper flash in chrome, runs well
njin: try in #launchpad
thanks
i think i can live without flash now, I see most videos like on Youtube have html5 option if you have no flash installed.  Maybe this flash will die soon.
sera a tutti
jace_: could use minitube to watch youtube vids
ActionParsnip: No luck
(directory was recreated by no sound
dclist, Confirm you have done "sudo apt-get install alsa-utils".
)
jCuber: dpkg -l says yes
i don't know about his sound, but my sound was way louder in Debian stable.
Hello
I havea Q
dclist: what is the output of: wget -O alsa-info.sh http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh && chmod +x ./alsa-info.sh && ./alsa-info.sh --upload
jCuber: Is my user supposed to be in the "sound" group?
Im running ubuntu server in a VM inside windows right now but can i export the image to a real server once i have it all configed ?
I'll try a reboot.
be back in5
Not sure if this is the place to ask.

Hello chaps. I'm trying to create a customised keyboard layout. I've edited one of my xkb symbols files, and restarted, but I cannot select the new layout from the drop down list of options. Is there something else that I need to edit?
jace_, Have you added external sources to the package manager?
ghostconn: how many times have you been told this "NO"
ikonia, See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Howto%3A%20Custom%20keyboard%20layout%20definitions
nope jCuber
jCuber: why are you showing me this ?
a
ikonia, Haha, my bad. Sent that to the wrong user
I want to jump back in Debian so bad, but I guess it I give Ubuntu a week...
asteconn: there's some xml (or xml-like) file that contains all of the layouts...  You could just use setxkbmap though...
any producers out there?
ghostconn: how is that anything to do with ubuntu ?
ghostconn, try ubuntu studio mailing list
cloudy : thank you
ikonia : do you just sit and watch the messages as they go by or what... you're on hear 24/7 lol i remember a year ago i needed help and you were on hear?? do you sleep lol
or at least get paid lol
anyone know a  good system repair program?  I want to try running something like that before I am forced to wipe and reinstall my system.  my Video is going all wonky on me
what kind of repair? what is broken?
Mattsyco: There is no such thing, on no known operating system.,
self healing software
:D
hello. i have a question
anyone here?
hola
alguien
hay
Hello
Sorry, spaced out a tad.   Running Ubuntu 12.10, and my system froze in a sleep state.  when I got it running again it would not use a Dual-screen display.  and now there are blinking dashes going through the menu bar and every once in a while the top 2/3 of the screen will go black with white dashes
Mattsyco, have you installed correct GPU drivers?
I am anti-computer, i hardly know what is the difference between a CPU and RAM. Which version of ubuntu should i get for an old laptop from 2007, on which i use yahoo messenger, browser, youtube, gmail, .DOC .XLS files and teamviewer? I do not play PC games. Thank you :-)
Derbie, Just get Xubuntu
Derbie: if it were me, I would use lubuntu
jCuber: this one: The all-new Ubuntu 12.10 is out now. ?
wyclif: lubuntu is the light version afaik ?
let me check.  I know there was a proprietary driver selection that I picked
Derbie, wyclif, Yes, my bad, get Lubuntu
Mattsyco, Which GPU are you using, in fact?
amd radion HD 5750
jcuber , wyclif : Is it more user friendly\? That's what i'm looking for. My wife won't know to use IRC to get help and i don't want to be bothered in the future to be honest
Hi?
Derbie, wyclif, Lubuntu is just a lightweight Ubuntu.
Can anyone hear me?
Read*
aww
hey Leighton
I have a HUGE problem
Yes, what seems to be the problem
I just installed ubuntu 12.10 right?
And suddenly my battery wouldnt charge
Mattsyco, I downloaded http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/linux/Pages/radeon_linux.aspx
it stays at the same percentage
thanks jCuber
Anyone else have this problem?
Mattsyco, No problem. If any more problems appear, #ubuntu is here!
jcuber, wyclif xubuntu vs ubuntu 12.10 vs lubuntu : which one is more user friendly?
Can anyone help me?
Derbie, tbh, I've only used Ubuntu versions up to 10.04, so I'm guessing Ubuntu 12.10 would be the one. However, I'm not sure about your system specs.
hello
do you speak spanish?
12.10 IS NEW
padon caps lock
Leighton, Do you mean the battery stopped recharging completely, or the battery notification panel app has frozen?
illo me cago en la puta responde a la pregunta
Well, I look at the statistics of the battery, and the charging rate stays even
Derbie, it depends on what type of layout you want.  if you want something with an actual menu and that is lightweight, Xubuntu is what you should use.  if you dont mind using the app finder in Unity, then the standard should suit you just fine
xubuntu recommended RAM and CPU ?
I dont know if its stopped completely, i'm installing windows 7 to test, right nows
Derbie, Do you know your laptop model?
Yes
Leighton, I have heard of others that have had problems with battery  charge displays, just dont know what to do to fix it
amilo pro v3505
Derbie: at the bottom of this page http://xubuntu.org/getxubuntu/
Well, my battery has worked fine with gnome remix 12.10,
hi
i think i have 512 RAM
ciao
someone in espanish?

Hi. I have a user on my machine that has no login shell (/bin/false) but they do have a home directory. I want to get the files out of that home directory. I have the username and password. Can anyone help?
Hi there, does anything as such exist for ubuntu, im basically a member on lots of forums, i regularly check(view new content type of thing), is there anything out there that can check all of these for new content from one location?
Advocated: rss
windows XP is performing poorly on this laptop, thats why i want to move to linux.... idleone jcuber mattsyco
Advocated, Try to find a RSS viewer from the Package Manager
openjokeopenjoke
ikonia, i thought of that but ive looked at one of the foryums and it had an rss feed for a sub forum(not the whole lot) so would i have to add one for every sub forum if you get me? ive got that akgregator?
Derbie: sounds reasonable. try Xubuntu or Lubuntu and they both should run fine with 512mb RAM
Derbie, Ahh, I see. Maybe you should try formatting your hard-drive and re-installing Windows XP if you've installed too many programs.
jcuber she only uses it for messenger browsing youtube office programs and teamviewer (guess when...)
how can i prevent ubuntu from cashing writes to disk for a ridicolous amount of time?
IdleOne: i'll give xubuntu a go if you say it is more userfriendly then
Derbie, I think that's the best option.
VlanX, Do you mean caching?
Derbie: expect a slower performance from live cd then you would from an actual install, but both xubuntu and lubuntu are light and very usable.
jCuber: if i write a 30 byte file to my HDD it doesnt just write it, it waits several minutes
Has anyone with an nVidia Optimus chipset had success with Bumblebee? Should I still shy away from Optimus-enabled systems?
Tohuw: I'm using it now. It works pretty well for most* things
Thank you everyone! jCuber IdleOne Mattsyco wyclif Very much appreciated. I will format C: and install xubuntu on it. Will i encounter any issues with mounting the D: drive NTFS format?
Derbie: nope
allquixotic: What's inside that astrisk? ;)
Okay, thank you!
Tohuw: there's definitely a performance overhead, but even still, the discrete GPU should run circles around your Intel... it's great for power management too: bumblebee automatically shuts off your nvidia GPU if nothing is using it, so your desktop can run at lower power on the intel chip
Tohuw: they're developing a lower-overhead transport called Primus that should help, but we'll only see the full benefit of Primus once Unity automatically disables redirected rendering in fullscreen
Tohuw: still, 3d games are playable for the most part
and there's little/no overhead for OpenCL
allquixotic: What model of laptop do you have, and what is your average battery life? Also, can't you just disable redirected rendering for full-screen applications in CCSM
hi, i' have some problem with a wifi card....somebody could help me?
VlanX, if you need to sync then sync.
Tohuw: ThinkPad T530 with Intel HD4000 on i7-3820QM, and Nvidia NVS 5400M
I don't run the system without A/C very often, but when I do, battery life without any Nvidia-accelerated apps running is quite good; around 7-8 hours on minimum screen brightness
Tohuw: of course, if you are doing 3d gaming on the nvidia GPU, expect battery life to halve or worse
hence the whole point of optimus
sorry ...my problem is...i want to compile some drivers and i don't know how to do.
allquixotic: going to take this to msg if you don't mind, to keep the channel clear.
Tohuw: the only *real* gotcha I've found of Bumblebee so far is that it doesn't work with VMware Workstation; that is, if you want hardware-accelerated 3d in a guest, you can only do that with the intel IGP, not the Nvidia
go ahead
fuga, Which network card do you have? Is it an USB card? Internal?
hola
PoolShark_, Hi!
what's up?
jcuber: it's an external usb card model  belkin rtl8188cus could you help to compile the driver i've just download to the website of realtek
fuga: What is the model of card? post the output of sudo lspci | grep -i network
i need advice. im wanting to make a backup bash script that i can later turn into a cron  job. i want this script to work by backing up the specified contents of a usb device to an external drive WHEN the usb is plugged in.
im wanting to be able to backup my files as quickly as it takes me to plug in a usb stick, and take it out, and the job be done
fuga: Ah, the rtl8188... read here: http://askubuntu.com/questions/197295/cant-connect-to-wireless-network-with-a-sabrent-a111n-usb-dongle
AcidRain2012, You might want to check out #bash
AcidRain2012, trigger the backup with a udev rule. do the backup with rsync
my issue is: how do i get the path of the newly added device? the path may not be the same everytime. and i dont want to make it the same every time
AcidRain2012, don't work with paths. use uuids
* PoolShark_ just got done cramming 16 hard drives into an Antec 300 case
UUIDs == The Way to Go These Days
PoolShark_: good point. i know how to detect by uuid, but how would i back  it up without knowing the path based off the uuid?
AcidRain2012: also, if you give the partition a label, then it should get mounted using the label
AcidRain2012, don't understand... you add an fstab entry by uuid the files are always in the same location
jrib: im wanting to avoid this. im wanting to make a simple user friendly script.
god my dog is an idiot
only user input i want to use is them entering the uuid of the device. after that, i wnat it to automatically backup to a different device by uuid
AcidRain2012: that makes no sense...
probably dog is more intelligent than half year baby
he's fascinated with twist ties
she
jrib: ok. here is what im saying. i make a script to backup files. the files will be backed up in a folder on an external device (user types the uuid of the external device, this is where files are backed up, a folder will be created with the name of the uuid). when i plug in a usb device with a certain uuid (user input) the script will detect it and backup files
she runs around the house throwing them up in the air to herself... she just did it now and wasn't looking where she was going and ran into a wall head first
AcidRain2012: so what's your question?
fuga: Sorry, I am pressed for time at the moment. Which command are you having trouble with?
but. i want to avoid putting a label on every device i get, or anyone else gets in my family. the issue is no one else in my family would even know how to do that. and im not about to label 100 drives
Having trouble upgrading, can't get adobe-flashplugin to upgrade or even to uninstall: http://codepad.org/J7yZw7sX
AcidRain2012: so instead you're having them enter 100 UUIDs?
Any suggestions?
jrib: so the question is, how do i back the files up, if i KNOW the uuid of the device plugged in. but i DONT know the path too it
you realize that if the user has to enter a UUID, the process will likely fail.. because they won't do it
jrib: exactlly right. lol. ill make it so they can easily select 1 from a list.
AcidRain2012, crossreference mount and blkid
AcidRain2012: how on earth do you expect them to know which uuid corresponds to the thing they just plugged in?
the less they talk to me about computer realted issues, the happier i will be, and the less they will gripe about a computer that is fried and they lost everything
jrib: cause the script will wait for a difference to occure.
AcidRain2012: /dev/disk-by-uuid ...
bekks: thats what i use
AcidRain2012: I guess I don't understand what you are doing.  But others can help you.
ill try to crossreferencing mount and blkid
yea that seems like the best method. just need to find out how to parse all of this now. which google will help. thank you everyone for your help
AcidRain2012, the /dev/disk-by-uuid may be more accessible to a script.
escott: yeah, i think ill use that and crossreference with blkid
AcidRain2012, but i would just hook into udev and then you can directly handle the plugin event and have all the information you need
AcidRain2012: cat /proc/mnounts ...

is there a sysprep-like utility for ubuntu?
PoolShark_, "Linux doesn't have SIDs and it's not registered, so there's nothing to do to "prepare" it. Just copy the VM file. "
well, it's not quite that simple
hey, I am using kde and I didn't unpack my theme when i chose it to be my theme. Now, if I try to boot it fails into a console because it can't use that theme. Any idea how I would fix this?
when you install ubuntu, you have to give it a user name and their details, a hostname, and other things
if you blindly copy the VM file, that's a start, but you then need to go in and change all that stuff
I've never messed around with  mass-deployments of ubuntu, so I am sure there must be a better way
deper29, Tried doing "startx" in the console?
PoolShark_, Ahh, I see. Don't really have experience in that area, so I can't help you.
no worries
What happens after apport has done its thing after a crash (collected info, asked the user if a "problem report" should be sent)? I never get the chance to actually report a bug, as is the case when calling ubuntu-bug.
jCuber: yeah, if I do startx it tries to start into kdm
is there a way in command line to change my default kdm theme?
deper29, dpkg-reconfigure kdm ?
deper29, or "sudo dpkg-reconfigure kubuntu-desktop && sudo dpkg-reconfigure kdm"
i have a ?
I'm looking for some feedback on the ubuntu port to Nexus 7 ... if anyone's using it ... how's the experience ?
Tex_Nick: not here please - this is a support channel
Tex_Nick: better ask in #ubuntu-arm oder #ubuntu-offtopic
so i have windows 7, with 2 montiors on amd catalyst... will all my programs already installed on windows be there if i install ubuntu
Tex_Nick, Try the Ubuntu Forums, or #ubuntu-offtopic
whaaa: Be where?
be on ubuntu
whaaa, I have bad news for you
whaaa: Of course, no.
whaaa: not in your ubuntu - its a different Operating system
there's an ubuntu port to Nexus 7?????? whoa, I gotta go check that out
...so id have to install bf3, photoshop and all that on ubuntu too
hi guys. My pupils chat over clients (LTSP
whaaa: Those applications are NOT available on Ubuntu.
whaaa: None of that stuff will run on Ubuntu
whaaa: no, they will not all be available for linux
whaaa: linux only runs windows apps with the use of wine.
and thwn not all of them
ok thanks ppl ... i'll shop around :-)
dang... so if i want to run ubuntu with all my stuff, should i just use the windows installer and run both?
whaaa: That's probably the simplest
you can do that, or get VirtualBox and run Ubuntu in that
whaaa: that dosent run both oss at the same time
ok cool, ive got plenty of room to do so.  what are the advantages of using ubuntu
vbox will.
Hey guys. After I use dpkg --set-selections, how do I implement those changes?
ya not both at the same time but i can at least switch right?
whaaa: What reason do you have for installing it?
I'm running Ubuntu 12.04 in Virtualbox and it works like a charm :)
whaaa, You can't run all of your Windows stuff. It's the same as trying to get a Mac program to work on Windows. You can also create a dual-boot https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBoot
whaaa: You can run Ubuntu at the same time as Windows if you install VirtualBox in Windows, and then install Ubuntu in VirtualBox
is there any other parts of a system besides fstab which attach your OS to the particular UUID of your root drive?
Smackbook: grub bootloader can
Smackbook, fstab, the initramfs, and if you have mdadm or lvm
kevin89, just out of curiousity i wanted to... its something ive never used and windows is getting a little old
look at the grub.cfg file to see if it is
...i'm falling love with unity (i hated it so far)
whaaa: install virtualbox on Windows, then install Ubuntu there - if you like it, dual boot or install it as your primary OS
whaaa: in that case best try it with a live CD
whaaa: get the 12.10 dvd and play with the live dvd feature. no need to install
whaaa: or with a live CD as guntbert says
you can even test the live cd in virtualbox
so that means i basically burn it to dvd and every time i put the disc in i can use ubuntu
dr_willis: ah, so if I copy my OS to another machine (and dont want to tunefs the UUID of my other drive to match) I just have to update fstab (from blkid) and update grub?
boot the cd.. yes.
or just mount iso w/ virtual clone drive
whaaa: in that case I would use a USB so you can preserve settings
whaaa: when you boot from the DVD, yes
Smackbook:  i think so
sweet stuff man, thanks for the help yall
>>> Hi all. Ubuntu 12.04. Left side panel with apps doesn't disappear. I tried to change settings and on / off this option but nothing changes... what could be a problem?
Smackbook, and the initramfs
another alternative to try linux is to use wubi. what do you think abt?
escott: oh right, i'm not experienced with that one.  is there a config file? like /etc/initramfs
checking
frank000: most in here will not recommend wubi as a viable option
Smackbook, no just update-initramfs (it reads from /etc and structures the initramfs file in /boot)
frank000: rather not - it is kept within  a windows file - that simply calls for trouble :)
escott: i see, thank you
so better virtualbox? ;)
frank000: if you've got the resources, yes - if not, dual boot\
i'm running ubuntu 12.04LTS on G640/2x2GB RAM and works very well
virtualbox
I just installed Fluxbox on Ubuntu 12.10 but it's already partially configured...  anyone know how I could get a clean fluxbox installation?
Do you suggest 12.10 or keeps the 12.04LTS?
frank000: up to you
frank000: Unless you deployed the machine in an office environment ... it really wouldn't matter for the average person
Hi all: I'm running ubuntu 12.10 on macbookpro 9,2, I want to use pommed to autodim and control keyboard backlight, how can I disable kb backlight support in X from compiz/unity/whatever?
hi
how can i properly close a program (like firefox) from terminal (and not kill it)?
12.10 will be supported for 18months or 2years?
18 months
bonjour tout le monde
newbodhi: kill by default will "ask" the program to terminate nicely
ok so I will stay with 12.04 LTS ;)
12.04 LTS ofcourse
lol
anyone use/admin LTSP here^
frank000: Why?
hi all, i'm in bad trouble with a dell flash bios, can someone help me ?
how hard is it to just ask your question
does it matter what anyone else is using ?
my students chats over the thin clients :)
is it normal for a 720p webcam to show up as 640x480 in ubnutu? http://pastebin.com/q2S8W8Cp
they can't install software so was wondering which builtin software are using :)
ask them
ikonia: lol
why is that funny ?
"I'm wondering what they are using", "ask them"
frank000: We dont know what they are using. :P
If I install a package and extra packages are installed with it, how can I make sure those are removed when I uninstall the original?
Kevin89: "sudo apt-get autoremove" might do it
I have another issue with xf86config error growing up to fill up the whole hard disk
frank000: a config file will not fill up the hard disk
frank000: it's also static, so it won't change in size
Kevin89, another way to get around that is to use the --no-install-recommends flag with your apt-get install... that way only the package you requested gets installed
anyone know how to configure keyboard backlight and brightness behavior in ubuntu 12.10?
I can't find any configuration entry in gconf-editor
zykotick9: Doesn't  look like that worked :(
ikonia: .xession error file
Hi what is ubuntu devs channel?
frank000: look at the error then
Out`Of`Control: depends what type of development
Out`Of`Control: what's the question
ikonia: it's abt 1TB!
callagan
unity
Out`Of`Control: that's not a question
 Backtrack vs Blackbuntu,  I use both but trying to decide. Any thoughts?
tester: neither are anything to do wiht this channel
hello
ikonia:  is there ubuntu dev channel?
Out`Of`Control: it depends what for, what's the question
ikonia:  can you give me or not?
Out`Of`Control: it depends what for, what's the question
is there a way to view a huge .xsession-error file
frank000: truncate it, and monitor it before it grows
ikonia: with tail -f
frank000: if you want
Hi all, I need some help with ACLs on Samba/NFS shares on native ZFS. Is this a good place to ask, or is there somewhere else? I'm completely new to ubuntu (been strictly debian/FreeBSD all my life), so don't know the community yet.
iliveinapark: well, ZFS isn't in ubuntu
iliveinapark: so the acl's will just be standard NFS acls
ikonia: its related to unity desktop files / UCS
Arcimboldo, check in /sys
Out`Of`Control: what's the question
Out`Of`Control: actually, doesn't matter, I can't be bothered - "no, I can't point you at the developers channel"
escott: backlight works, I want to disable it from the graphical interface, and make pommed deal with it
if i click unity icon the windows come on foreground, is it possible to reclick and put where it was, now if i reclick noting happen
ikonia: so why you keep asking me?
Out`Of`Control: I've stopped asking you, I was asking you so I could point you at the right channel, but you won't give me the question so I'm fed up of asking you, so "no, I won't help you"
ikonia: Yeah, I had a feeling, but google hasn't turned up anything. nfs4-acl-tools, then? Will they be relatively consistent over samba and nfs on the same fs?
sorry what was that  parameter to only download the singular package and none of the extas?
iliveinapark: they won't be consistant over samba, as samba won't interact with NFS like that
iliveinapark: they need to be on the native file system to be picked up by both samba/nfs
Out`Of`Control, I think the problem is that your question is very general.  There are many different  areas of development and thus depending on what you are developing, there are different channels in which to discuss it
ikonia: i told you its about unity UCS ,menu entries for UCS
Out`Of`Control: that's not a question
ikonia: Fair enough, thanks mate.
is it possible that nvidia GT640 just doesn't work with *compiz*. i tried some updates , it works for ubuntu2d, and for gl apps ... but not compiz
doomlord: yes, it's totally possible, especially as the installer warns you the card is not supported
ikonia: btw i don't need help but ubuntu devs
ok. i guess i should have researched my gfx card purchase a little better; stil no disaster, with many screens i need transitions less
Out`Of`Control: then there is no problem, as I've said I won't help you
ikonia:  all i need a channel to contact them IRC channel.
but maybe this was wrong place to ask for info
Out`Of`Control: Just out of interest - what do need from the devs?
Out`Of`Control: yes, and I was trying to get you the right channel by asking what your question was
Out`Of`Control: however as you won't tell me the question you need to ask/discuss, I can't point you at the right channel
ikonia:  Ubuntu unity Devs.
Out`Of`Control: and as I've asked you 10 times and you've not answered, I can't be bothered any more
Out`Of`Control: that's not a question
Out`Of`Control: take alook inside the  guidelines. there are the core channels mentioned
k1l: ty
if i click an icon why if i reclick don't disappear? help me what i have to do to enable it
Out`Of`Control: but if you bother them with noob stuff you wont get a warm welcome. so think about ask a real question here.
I just upgraded to 12.10, now ktorrent no longer puts its' icon in the top bar.  Is there any way to fix this?
userzzz: that is not supposed to happen.
userzzz:  you mean if you click on  for example firefox in the left side panel. you expect it to minimize
k1l: again i don't have a problem but ubuntu unity Devs.
hi everybody
yes
Out`Of`Control, aaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Out`Of`Control, im not dev
it has to reminimize or go where it was
Out`Of`Control: they have a problem?
userzzz:  its not designed to work that way. if you had 8 firefox windows open it would spread them out
k1l:  yes
Out`Of`Control: Which problem do they have? Tell us about it please.
http://www.webupd8.org/2012/03/unity-with-minimize-on-click-patch.html
bekks:  lmms keeps crashing in ubuntu with unity
no just the only on top
Out`Of`Control: And did you create a bug report yet, in launchpad?
userzzz:  read up on it at that URL.
never mind... 12.10 appears to have more issues than 12.04LTS did.
Out`Of`Control: Doing so will helop them to solve that issue.
bekks: i guess noone read what i write?
the whole idea of minimizeing is sort of .. well outdated. ;)
Downgrading... again
anybody here that knows of a good guide for making a persistent usb installation of ubuntu server here?
dr_willis which url?
http://www.webupd8.org/2012/03/unity-with-minimize-on-click-patch.html
hi
ok
thx
Out`Of`Control: People do read what you are writing. Did you create a bug report yet?
hello
bekks:  devs have problem not me. I need irc channel to contact them
Out`Of`Control: You need to create a bug report.
Out`Of`Control: you contact them by logging a bug report
bekks:  for what? i don't even use Ubuntu
Out`Of`Control: that way the problem is logged and multiple people/teams can view it and contribute
Out`Of`Control: honestly. if you dont have a bug report handy they will not listen to you.
I tried moving a partition (NTFS) with GParted from Ubuntu Live -- after I finished, the partition won't mount, and Ubuntu's suggesting I run chkdsk -- problem is that Windows won't boot if the drive inquestion is plugged in (even though I'm not booting from it) and I can't even see my boot drive in BIOS now.
Ubuntu 12.04 is only as good as its de
I can still get into my Ubuntu Live, though -- is there anything I can do from there to fix this?
Awesomewm: Ubuntu provides several desktop environments - so its multiplied then? ;)
bekks:  its exponential! :)
I don't use the default gnome. I install a more stable desktop environment off the bat
all i was asking was for #ubuntu-devel channel
Awesomewm: let me guess.. you like IceWM? :)
dr_willis: ion3 ;)
 I use Awesome WM
we all know olvwm is best. ;)
if its even in the repos still...
* dr_willis just showed his age
;o
dr_willis, very useful link
Anyone know how to make this auth.log entry "PAM 5 more authentication failures; logname= uid=0 euid=0 tty=ssh ruser= rhost=192.168.1.254  user=username" log each failure instead of batching them?
lxde,xfce,fluxbox,openbox or kde Im good with them all
dr_willis: It is older than Motif, isnt it?
hello- i just installed ubuntu LTS on my dell inspiron 1525 - and when i started i couldnt access the internet because no driver for my network device - any help????
bfortified go to rsyslog configuration file and change the priority
bekks:  yea. i think it was origially used on the Sun Stations i used in college in 1986 (or im confused again)
bekks:  or at least thers whre i used it first
How can I install fluxbox without any of the extra packages?
sudo apt-get install fluxbox should pull in the minimal set for fluxbox
dr_willis: I'm trying to get a clean fluxbox install but when I tried that and went int oa fluxbox session
#exit
hello- i just installed ubuntu LTS on my dell inspiron 1525 - and when i started i couldnt access the internet because no driver for my network device - any help
ubuntu added a panel and background and some other things
i'd really like a fresh experiencee
forspareparts probably not ubuntu always messes up windows seven side of a dual boot
err.. most likely theres some defult system wide fluxbox configs its using.. fluxbox has a panel last i used it..
Awesomewm: no it doesn't
Awesomewm: ubuntu works fine with Windows 7 as a dual boot situation
It smashed my my windows 7 side
dident touch windows here at all.. 2 hd setup.
ive had windows mess up ubuntu more often
Awesomewm: no it didn't
Awesomewm: the bu
the ubuntu install does not touch the windows install
so please - stop talking nonsense
12.10 doesnet even have the import users/settings/files from windows any more does it?
dr_willis: yeah it does
where did the proprietary driver dialogue go in 12.10? Can't find it
I meant the installation program for wireless drivers, nvidia etc.
i've got an external hard drive that won't show up on the gui, but i can find it in gparted
ubuntu_ open terminal and run jockey-gtk
jokey is gone
jockey even
it should be under Mount when you look at the files Cosmo
scarleo:  its under the software sources app - in a tab
how exactly do i look at the files? where am i looking?
dr_willis, Ah, cool, thanks
so why ubuntu over something like arch or debian?
Awesomewm, i ran jockey-gtk, just got a blank list of drivers
niriven: personal choice, find your own view
niriven: nVidia drivers included. Or at least non-complicated to install. My computer came with Ubuntu, too.
cosmo it won't show in disk utility
what's the command for that
cosmo:  the file maanger should show all seen filesystems in its left side list.
cosmo:  if a windows partion is for some reason not 'clean' it may refuse to mount it.
cosmo:  what filesystem is on the hd? and you can try to mount it 'by hand' if you want
ah ok. i did just download 12.10, strangely enough windows says "image is too large for a cd-r"
doesn't show up on the left hand side of the gui. and i formatted it with fat32, gave one big partition the whole drive space if that's the correct way to do it
hi guys I have a question regarding ssh tunnels, I know how to use one and have my own vps but what I'd like to know is if there's any way to see what is being browsed through the tunnel?  is there any command to do so/anything?
niriven, it can be burned on a CD but it needs to be the bigger ones
escott: bleh, it used to work with a cd-r :(
cosmo:  you could try to mount it by hand if you wanted to.   did you JUST repartion/reformat it in gparted? You did Format the filesystem?
12.10 is bigger then i cd i thought. has to be on dvd now.
broken pipe*: couldn't write bytes... I get this mesage when I start my PC... what does it mean? Ubuntu 12.04 (ext4) also installed win7 on ntfs
i believe so, i'll look at it again
cosmo:  if its blank/cleanly formated. you could just try unpluggibng it and plugging it back in
dr_willis, already tried that :p
cosmo:  check output of the 'dmesg' command it may show what /dev/sdXX device the thing is. you will need to know that to mount it by hand
dr_willis, well now it's got one fat32 partition taking up most of the drive, and 2.49mb partition taking up some other space that I couldn't write over.
hi guys
thats sort of normal these days. rounding of the partion boundries..
My gnome-panel network system monitor is showing I'm sending data at 93kbps, even when nothing is open! It's kindof freaking me out. How do I see what is using network resources?
okay
hi guys
cosmo:  sudo fdisk -l   should show the  partions  /dev/sdXXX path
I'm thinking maybe its Ubuntu cloud
I can't upgrade between 12.04.1 and 12.10 through the command line
any idea why
?
mattwj2002:  what command are you using?
do-release-upgrade
oops
mattwj2002:  with sudo right?
right
hmm. And doing it from the update-manager GUI isn't an option?
dr_willis, looks like its dev sdc1
no I probably could
matt@node1:~$ sudo do-release-upgrade
Checking for a new Ubuntu release
No new release found
matt@node1:~$
sorry for the flood
er rather, /dev/sdc1
Where is uuid-dev installed to?
you need to tell it to look for non LTS releases mattwj2002
Hi folks! I don't know why I can not use a phone in gmail, any suggestions I greatly appreciate ? PS. I have install the google talk-plugin and nothing at all.
mattwj2002, you are not configured to go to non-lts releases
"locate uuid-dev"
yup I just found that in the gui!
:)
cosmo:  if you want to moubnt it by hand you can. or make a fstab entry for it.
cosmo:  or try installng/running the ntfs-config tool and it should make a fstab entry for it for you.
i don't know what any of that means but i'll google around
crimsonmane, no results, but I installed it in apt-get
its weird its not doing it automatically..
upgrading now! :D
i just want a fat32 partition on it to play media with a ps3
cosmo:  sort guide... 'sudo mkdir /media/mydrive'  'sudo mount /dev/sdc1 /media/mydrive  '
cosmo: there is a product called PLEX that will do that
plex is nice. ;)
no need for NTFS
theres other DLNA/UPNP servers that can stream to ps3 or other devices
okay thanks guys
bye!
even my android phone can work as a upnp server to my home network. ;)
how come, after all these years, the ubuntu shutdown animation is still so glitchy?
i have 5 ubuntu machines and I swear everyone one of them glitches in some unique way when you shutdown/restart
* dr_willis wonders why we need a shutdown animation.
thats legit
depends on the video drivers from what ive seen. My netbooks seem to work fine.
nvidia systems with nvidia drivers.. not so good.
ahh that might be the problem, thats mostly what I have
a lot of times it shows a terminal with just the animated dot sprites on top of it
thats why then. Pymounth and the non gpl nvidia drivers.. have.. issues ;)
gotcha
Smackbook:  yep. i see that also.
somthing with how the drivers/plymounth handle it all. I never did see what we gained by plymouth.. other then lots of hassles.
'we cant scare people with boot messages' ;)
bbl
ok
hi
I don't have any problems with shutdowns. I have an nVidia GPU.
Sometimes I think I do but that's just because I do shutdown instead of poweroff.
So I get confused and think it's crashed.
When it isn't...
it you use terminal commands to shutdown the computer  there less problems

wolfmitchell you have lib depandency problem
gustav__, I needed to make a swap partition bigger. It was to the right of my home partition (ext4). I used gparted to reduce the size of the home partition by 1Gb. There was 31Gb available. After gparted said, it was 30 free, I created a swap partition 1Gb bigger, after reboot, my system says that I only have less then a Gig available
close
wolfmitchell try apt-get install libuuid
zamutnii: Check and verify that the partitions actually became like you wanted.
DarKMode, E: Unable to locate package libuuid
it's libuuid1
"libuuid1 is already the newest version."
wolfmitchell try apt-get install libuuid1
did that just now
I have it
what version is in the repositories?
i forgot the number1 in the end
it libuuid1 not libuuid
according to https://github.com/LuaDist/luuid/blob/master/dist.info it needs version 2.16 or above
i downloaded google chrome's official .deb package but ubuntu is saying it's a 'bad quality package that could damage my system'... i assume this is obviously not likely and maybe because ubuntu is a little firefox biased?
wolfmitchell it 2.20-1
mehwork, it related you install from third party download .... If you need, maybe better to add google chrome repositories when  available
just try apt-get install libuuid1 and you will be fine
wolfmitchell aptitude show libuuid1 for more informations
gustav___, gparted showed them as I wanted and it shows 30Gb available.

It's ifconfig
DarkMode : ok I have some picture from test version - i would like to paste it
ubuntu__ifyou can't get ifconfig to work it better to re install the system
ubuntu__ check the usb itegrety befor installing
DarkMode - if i will reinstall the system from the same copy which i have - what can be the solution ?
DarkMode - its not going to be the same error
?
ubuntu__ yes this way i told you to check for usb integraty
reinstall was just to be last solutions ....
ubuntu__ it in the boot menu
DarkMode - how to do this - guide me please
wait
If everything should be solved with reinstalling, i think it comes from "windows" world :d :d

'df -lh' shows: size - 576G; used - 546G; Available - 890M. How to fix my free disk space count?
It should be 30G available.
ubuntu__ when you do the ls you should find a file named ubuntu-12.04-desktop-i386.iso
ubuntu__, Darkmode means the line that shows you the checksum
ubuntu__ or some thing like that
hm
could you make an ISO that contains its own md5sum?
hi, I got a cron job that runs a php script. what happens when the script isn't finished executing before a cron starts it again? does it open a new process or kill the running one? if so can this be explicitly controlled?
gordonjcp, I don't think you can do that, no
gordonjcp of course evry file in have it own checksum
DarkMode : where can i pastebin for you
md5 collisions are achievable..
here
Meris: I think you could, but you'd be in the realms of hash collision computing
or pv
Hello. I just came from Mint. I am new to linux. I wanted to ask you all if this Distro better than mint for a good all around distro. I'm an average user
better off hashing everything except the sum?
crltnmgn: that would be the sane way to do it
gordonjcp, I have never visited that realm, are there beautiful algorithms lying on the beach there? ;-)
Hello. I just came from Mint. I am new to linux. I wanted to ask you all if this Distro better than mint for a good all around distro. I'm an average user
chris_: no better, no worse, it's personal choice which you like best
chris_, No. Ubuntu uses the same packages, only thing is that you get a different installer and default installer
gordonjcp just do md5sum yourISOfile.iso and you will get it
easypeasy's quite cool! :-)
chris_: mint isn't really supported here, and "my distro is better than your distro" discussions are discouraged
hi, I got a cron job that runs a script. what happens when the script isn't finished executing before a cron starts it again? does it open a new process or kill the running one? if so can this be explicitly controlled?
chris_: asking the same question in 60 seconds isn't really appreciated
thank you
:)
sorry guys.
ikonia: how about 120 seconds?
ikonia: how about 2 seconds?
tho my ubuntu one control panel doesn't work..
Hi all! I need some help for command line: I'm trying to run experiments on different computers and I'm sending run command via ssh. I want to know when all those computers finished experiment so that my script can start another work. Do you have any suggestions for that?

Anyone heard any buzz about Ubuntu for Android?
chris_: not really; you could look at the DHCP leases table in your router if you're interested
no

'df -lh' shows: size - 576G; used - 546G; Available - 890M. How to fix my free disk space count?
It should be 30G available.

GRUB question.  Is (hd0,0) another name for (hd0) ?
hey guys, my wife and i use her ubuntu box on a pretty regular basis to watch flash movies , which for a long time i thought the computer was just going to sleep, but after having exhastively investigated that as the problem, i discovered it was not actually the computer falling asleep, but something about the flash application itself that goes black after a some inactivity of the mouse.. i was curious if there was any sort of hack i could empl
zamutnii, what filesystem is this?
(I'm running GRUB 0.97, it seems.)
Karlo_:  hd0,0 would be the first partion on the first hd in grub talk.
zamutnii: what happens is that some space is kept aside so that as far as the system itself is concerned (and indeed the root user) the filesystem is never *totally* full
Karlo_: No, and why are you using grub legacy?
I have an hdtv hooked up via vga. how can I create an xrandr configuration for this output that can fit my display?
zamutnii: 30gb available? That's not what you want. I don't know what you mean.
but i THOUGHT grub2 started using  1 for the first partition..
zamutnii: if / fills up completely all sorts of bad stuff happens
brady, sounds like http://xkcd.com/196/
zamutnii, 5% of 500GB is 25GB so thats where your missing 30GB are. you could release them to other users with tune2fs
Jordan_U, that's what's on my system -- and I can't easily install anything newer until I can get the network up!
Hi!
Karlo_: I was thinking the same thing :P
"info grub" does say that it uses origin 1 indexing, which is why I was asking.  But maybe the info file is newer than the grub executable.
lol karlo, hilarous that there is almost an exact comic of my situation
so how can write that mouse jiggling script
I have a problem with my Unity Icons and Libre Calc. The Icon goes blank and I cant access the open spreadsheet?
Aha.  Yes, info grub is describing 1.98, and I'm running 0.97.  How did they get out of sync?
Anyway, it's entirely possible that the feature I *want* is only available in grub2.
Karlo_:  did you do a clean install? or a upgrade?
Karlo_: Did you install the "grub" package?
gordonjcp, so, how do I release it to user? 30Gig is a lot of reserved space.
zamutnii: you can adjust it with hdparm
zamutnii: I recommend leaving it alone
zamutnii: 30GB is nothing these days
zamutnii:  the tune2fs command can tweak the reserved space on ext2/3/4
yeah, sorry, tune2fs, not hdparm
I tend to set reserved to be like 0% on my external usb data drives. but like 1% on my system
zamutnii: seriously, if 30GB is a big deal to you, paypal me 20 quid for postage and I'll send you some 30GB drives instead of binning them
gordonjcp:  take them apart and use the shiny disks for mirrors.. and the magnets are fun to play with. ;P
As of about a month ago, I was in a state that I'd assumed to be up to date, according to update-manager; still running 10.04 LTS at that time.  It was during the attempt to upgrade to 12.04.1 LTS that my machine was left unbootable, which is what I've been trying to fix for the last month.
escott, /home (ext4), I have a / on a separate partition, also ext4
Karlo_: if it's been that problematic, why not just flatten it and reinstall?
10.04 uses grub2 by default if you id a clean install of it
zamutnii, i initially misread the 800M as 800G its the reserved space of ext4 for root
gustav__, 1G is available, but 30G is needed.
Karlo_: What happens when you try to boot? Have you done anything to try to fix it yet?
gordonjcp, nothing when you have the money, currently to buy a new drive, also it's in the netbook :)
Got me a 40TB ifs filesystem with 88.89% fragmentation .. shall I defrag?
xfs not ifs
gordonjcp, this happened after I reduced the home partition by 1Gb, using gparted
LucidGuy: What tool is reporting that fragmentation?
Jordan_U, xfs_db
LucidGuy: Could you please pastebin the entire command and its output?
Sure ..  xfs_db -c frag -r /dev/mapper/device..       output:   actual 134876361, ideal 14984301, fragmentation factor 88.89%
Hi, Can anyone recommend a PCI-Express2 network card for Ubuntu? Really struggling with the Broadcom BCM5723 atm :(
ATI RADEON Yo-MaMa 2GDDR4
gordonjcp: I haven't been able to do a fresh install, either.
Jordan_U, thoughts?
Karlo_: bummer
Karlo_: it's a shame my crystal ball is broken, otherwise I could telepathically diagnose it for you
Current state on boot: "The disk drive for / is not ready yet or not present".  I've heard that this might be merely the apt-get database being botched -- does that make sense?  (I do know that it *is* in fact botched at this point, but it seems strange that this would be reported as a not-ready disk drive.)

I can press M to get to maintenance mode (runlevel 1), with a root shell, and I can remount the root directory to be writable, but I haven't found a way to fix things from there.  "apt-get -f install" results in a few dozen errors; evidently it can't fix them without access to the network.  I don't see a way to bring up networking without going to the usual runlevel, and any attempt to do that runs into the original error again.

Karlo_: sounds like something has done something crazy to /etc/fstab
Karlo_: that would not prevent you running the installer though

The CD drive doesn't work.  The machine has no option to boot from a Flash drive.  I finally obtained a floppy disk that I can boot from -- and an image of 12.04.1 on a flash drive, which I can tell it to install -- but it either hangs, or kernel panics.  (It's inconsistent.)
Karlo_: sounds like a hardwar eproblem

ikonia: it wants to remove apache2-mpm-worker to install libapache2-mod-php5.  proceed?
thufir_: sure
I now have a copy of ubuntu-12.04.1-desktop-i386.iso on the hard disk, but I'm still working on how to make something bootable from there.

Hey everyone, I just plugged in a router directly to my computer running 12.10 because i'd like to set it up as an access point. However I'm having issues ... the network manager just keeps spinning as if it's trying to connect and then says "Wired Network Disconnnected" in a notification in the top right
I tried running ifconfig eth0, but it's not being given an ip address
ikonia: The fact that single user mode still works suggests otherwise.
hello,
i'm still very very new at this, but what could I be doing wrong? Someone told me I might have to turn on dhcp for ethernet?
Jordan_U: I didn't see a message saying single user mode worked
metap0d: ifconfig won't give it an IP
metap0d: dhcp will
Hello. I've have U12.04 installed in two different machines, a netbook and a desktop PC. When using the netbook, right-clicking, I get the option of creating a launcher. In the desktop setup, I don't. Why does that happen?
ikonia: I was just using it to check if it had an ip, i don't know how to give it one : /
Karlo_: Do you have a USB drive or blank CD available?
i have installed icecast2 on my server, but I have problem with connection with my radio, what kind of software from windows system can connect with my icecast2 on linux ubuntu server?
Hi, how to automatically switch to sleep mode after XX minutes?
ikonia: I only know of dhcpcd from the book i was reading, how could I turn dhcp on for my ethernet?
metap0d: dhcp needs to be running as a server on your router, dhcp as a client needs to be configured on your machine, through network manager
Jordan_U, yes
Whats the command to shutdown?
shutdown -t1 now
shutdown is the command

I'm having some trouble installing lubuntu 12.04. I've tried asking on #lubuntu, but there is nobody there to help

maybe somebody could help here

Karlo_: Do you have another Ubuntu machine that's functioning better, or a LiveCD/USB (of any kind) you can use? (while you can make a bootable USB from here, it's easier to do from a more sane environment).

oh, did you manage to read that?

I have a friend running Ubuntu, at the other end of a chat line right now.  She's been asking me to do the same commands in lockstep, but it seems we have different versions of grub, among other things.
there you go
bkc_:  oh, I see power maanger not brightness settings
Karlo_: So you don't have another GNU/Linux system of any sort yourself, correct?
bkc_: thanks.
I have an older machine running Red Hat 9.0 (Shrike).
I use an aspire on 756, i am running xubuntu 12.10.  I cannot adjust the monitor brightness, is there anything that i can install?
I also have a laptop which I wouldn't mind installing Ubuntu on.  Maybe that would actually make things easier, if I did that first.
Hello. I've have U12.04 installed in two different machines, a netbook and a desktop PC. When using the netbook, right-clicking, I get the option of creating a launcher. In the desktop setup, I don't. Why does that happen?
Karlo_: If you have a spare USB drive which you don't completely wiping, you can fairly easily dd the Ubuntu iso to the drive to make it bootable.
bkc_: nomodeset just gives me an unresponsive prompt
3
ascii: well... the kernel/module-part of #lubuntu is no different than that of #ubuntu so it should affect both. I'd go with the last comment, try it again until it works :)
The currently-broken system doesn't offer an option to boot from the USB drive.
....
bkc_: that they say it works 1 in 7 times? :D
Karlo_: Well that makes things more interesting :)
ascii: nomodeset is for messed up resolutions, refresh-rates, buggy drivers, etc. ... I answered too quickly :)
ascii: yes :)
Yeah, my life has been interesting, in the sense of the Chinese curse.
bkc_: I don't understand how can this be so non-deterministic
I'm having problems to log into Steam for Windows on my Ubuntu
already tried to remove ClientRegistry.blob, but still doesn't work
Denommus: I might be wrong, but it doesn't run on Ubuntu, unless you're using Wine.
ikonia: thanks, I htink that worked.
Karlo_: Well, if you want to throw some interestingness of your own into the mix, you should be able to mount the iso file, chroot into it, and run grub-install (for grub2) from there. At which point you can configure grub to boot from an iso stored on a USB drive, from which you can install Ubuntu.
how do I change with chmod a directory to permissions of:  drwxr-xr-x  ?
LuizAngioletti: I'm using wine. The problem is not about *running*, but *log in*
i have instructions im following asking me to edit   src/Makefile  , when i look in  home and the file system, i cant find /etc/
ascii: It probably has something to do with loading drivers/whatnot in parallel (it usually works, but in some cases...)
ikonia: DHCP was turned off for this computer on my router, so I'm assuming my wireless card was taking the static IP and the eth0 couldn't get one issued, but I enabled dhcp on this computer again and still can't connect eth0
LuizAngioletti: I'm using it without problems on my Arch machine (not that I think it's some problem with the distro, since I ran it pretty well until two weeks ago, when I installed the most recent wine)
where is this folder usually located?
ikonia: I checked the network manager, the ethernet connection is set to dhcp too
Karlo_: How much RAM does this machine have? Can you take this machine's hard drive out and put it into another machine?
Denommus: you might want to try the #winehq channel
brady try ls /
jrib: thanks,
i see srv, but no src
brady: the src/ folder should probably be where you extracted the archive to.

DarKMode: Ok, well I've researched the problem for several hours and come up with nothing. I'm running Ubuntu Server and I've been trying to use password authentication instead of keys
I've edited sshd_config in several places, but I still get an error message(and no password prompt) when I try to connect.
unclezipper what happen then . the system just let you in or what ?
..........c u
I don't know what the issue is exactly. I just upgraded servers, and on my old one I was running Linux Mint 11. OpenSSH was configured to use password authentication out of the box, and now I simply can't get it to work

unclezipper this is normal after reinstalation

unclezipper try typing

Are you a wizard
why ?
It worked, thank you very much. I've spent the better part of my day beating my head into the wall over this
hehehe
you welcome
unclezipper, yes, he is, he only uses DarKMode, a program execution code even less accessible than Real Mode.
;-)
Sounds intimidating
anyone know how i can remove my ssh keys that are registered with the os?

bonhoeffer cd .ssh;echo "" > known_hosts

DarKMode, not nice
That command must be the meaning of life, or close to it.
unclezipper, not, that would be 42
not => no
besides, it's the meaning of Liff.
Well, that was just some computer's idea of it :P
ascii: My best guess would be nolacpi, but it could also be the battery as some drivers don't like that :)

Hi, does anyone here use Ubuntu with a newer HP laptop?
(e.g., DV7)
Why is the 32 bit version of Ubuntu recommended over the 64 bit version?
Also, does anyone know how to restart alsa without restarting the computer?
I'm running off of a live cd and I'd like to mess with my alsa settings, but rebooting resets them.
merpnderp: memory-usage mostly... otherwise it's retarded :)
bkc_: I've always ran 64 bit desktops and never seemed to have a problem, but I've never ran Ubuntu before.
merpnderp: the 32will run on every hardware. so there is less chance of failure because the hardware couldnt do 64bit
merp its the most compatibel bersion
k1|: That makes sense.
dont worry. im using 64bit since "some time" and that is no problem at all
32bit kernel (at least w/o PAE-support) will only use 4B/memory-pointer while 64bit will use 8B/pointer... that's about it...
when i create a new user, how does .bashrc be created?.. copied from what file?
killfill: /etc/skel/.bashrc
aah
on the other hand, 32bit (w/o PAE) can only handle 1GB / process and a total of ~3GB, while 64bit can handle shitloads or RAM :D
Yeah. 64-bit has a theoretical limit of
I think it's like, 1000 TB or something of RAM
is there a default.bashrc in rootdir
Now, no computer these days could have 1000 TB of RAM
bkc_: yep. if your hardware can take 64bit there is no need for 32bit, since flash is a mess on both variants :)

xubuntu@xubuntu:~$
Megelli: blacks?
killfill: well you can just give them a different default .bashrc but in the end a prompt is a very personal thing :P
Megelli i think it is the boot loader
Megelli it grub
xubuntu@xubuntu:~$screen is black with this witing on it ........
xubuntu@xubuntu:~$
yah i know.. :P  i.e. centos does take PS1 from /etc/profile by default.. :P
is there a CLI to list users and groups?
hoped it was unix-standart

Daekdroom: no
Hello. I would just like to know how important it is to choose a strong master password for keepassx. Should one make it at least 256 bits?
Daekdroom: set it to UTF-8 (not the hybrid :) )
Ubuntu 12.04 is actually on the hard drive but wanted to try xubuntu to see if speed was better
newbchessplayer-: 256bit is short according to me... but then again, I'm paranoid :P
newbchessplayer-, its your master password so probably pretty important
Daekdroom: that would display the characters fine for you. but not for the other users. utf-8 is the standard so far.
hey all

escott, I type help and it give a crap load of commands
I'm using keepassx and was just wondering if it very important to use a very long and complicated master password?
strange problem - same machine - on SATA all good, boot over to SSD drive and it can't find the wired NIC card
the only difference is where it's booting from
newbchessplayer-, well, you should be able to remember it, somehow, or face the agony of having all you other passwords you stored in that cache encrypted beyond redemption.
Megelli, its a bit unclear what is happening when you boot
Megelli, maybe i jumped in late but what do you see
it sais
xubuntu@xubuntu:~$
newbchessplayer-, it depends on who your adversary is... one approach that gets recommended is to pick a unique phrase
and the curser is flashing after the $
all on a black screen
newbchessplayer-, "ilovestartrekandmydadisahistorian"
if i type help  and enter it brings up all these commands
Megelli, i know what it says... i dont know why you got to that point
every time i try to boot from usb stick the blue splash screen comes up like it is loading then i goes to a black screen with what I typed earlier
I keep trying to install vbam-gtk (because vba just freezes the computer when it is in full screen) so I added the playdeb url source and ran sudo apt-get install vbam-gtk and I get this error " vbam-gtk : Depends: libstdc++6 (>= 4.6) but 4.5.2-8ubuntu4 is to be installed
"
Megelli, odd that there is no error message. try "mount | less" so you can scroll up and down with the arrows and exit with "q"
anyway to update libstdc++6 to a higher version
ok
thats a foreward slash escott?
Megelli, im mostly interested if anything /dev/sda shows up or if there is a "rootfs" anywhere in that
Megelli, no its a pipe SHIFT+\ on my keyboard. above the enter
ok lol
command not found
Megelli, try "mount | more" (although I think that answered my question)
ok
oh wow now it sais END and it wont let me type now
Megelli, just press "q" but that answered my question. you are in busybox
I think Ill just toss xubuntu....doesnt seem ready enough yet
oh whats busy box....typing q now
Megelli, the issue is that your bios is not doing the USB boot correctly. you might try a CD
its a little netbook ...no cd
Ive got ubuntu and joli OS on it no problem
this pc has Ubuntu and no problem
I had mint on it yesterday too
I formated the stick in fat like i always do
Megelli, something is wrong with your usb stick then
so, ever since upgrading to 12.10, my audio doesnt work right... if i am listening to music and open a 2nd app that uses audio, even if the audio isnt active (like a paused flash player),
the audio on the primary app degrades noticably
especially noticable with flash and VLC
iatrogene, degrades meaning?
well
two thing are happening
if i try to use VLC while ive got chrome with flash players open, VLC's audio gets staticy
however
if i am playing music using QMMP, and start reloading (or opening) web pages in chrome, the audio stops and starts
as of 12.04 i did not notice these phenomenon
3.2 ghz socket 775 p4, single core, 2 GB
via audio onboard
iatrogene, are you using pulseaudio?
Where oh where does Ubuntu get the modifier map shown by Xmodmap? I'm trying to use my own .Xmodmap file, but there are a bunch of modifiers already that I didn't set. And I'm getting an X BadValue error when I call xmodmap on my own file. See https://gist.github.com/4057016
escott yep
escott, ok Ill make another one......thank you for helping we tried
* NightmareNightMo 
* NightmareNightMo -ALL
* NightmareNightMo 
iatrogene, the staticy bit is weird. maybe its using a hardware mixer that is rather poor. as for the stops and starts thats just starvation of the stream. you could try playing around with schedulers. the problem is EVERYONE has multi-core systems these days and the schedulers are designed with that in mind.
escott, understood, but its strange it all worked fine under 12.04
and yes i thought about that too, with the staticy bit. the default audio output device in vlc is pulseaudio
iatrogene, well you do get a new kernel, and that kernel will have various differences. you might try selecting and booting your old kernel and see how that works
however changing it to ALSA doesnt produce any noticiable change
yeah, good point
in that case, brb =)
Hi, is it possible to run socat in a loop so it keeps forwarding data without forking a new process on each pkt?
remember when you could adjust the transparentcy of any window with your scroller on your mouse...and, a modifyer key?
ok
escott: thank you for the advice
iatrogene, is that working?
the next older kernel was 3.2.0 and also PAE
and that seems to solve the problem of the audio starting and stopping while loading pages in chrome
but i notice the static problem appears to be limited to VLC
VLC reports The audio device "sysdefault:CARD=VT82xx" could not be used:
Device or resource busy.and then plays anyway
er
*and then it plays anyway.
but its staticy
the main audio (in this case qmmp)
has been playingh uninterrupted without any noticable degradation of quality
iatrogene, the firefox thing is scheduler related.
WOW Ubuntu = Frustrating for me as a Linux user for 7 years. Why in the world does FSTAB noit take Samba shares with cifs????
iatrogene, im not sure what scheduler changes went into the kernel in 3.5 but you can examine things in /sys.
baldfat, it does
yeah, chrome, but understood
it doesn't and I can show you hundread blog entries that show 12.04 FSTAB worked then failing cifs
comparing /sys for subtle differences seems like a lot of work =)
i know linux well, but not that well
is there a 3.5.0 PAE kernel?
escott: FSTAB and cifs isn't working straight out of the gate and the .Xresources-hostname is RETARDED SOrry a little raging going on my side but frustrating :)
baldfat, i can show you hundreds of articles on foxnews.com about how Romney is going to crush Obama... so clearly
escott: http://www.linuxine.com/story/1210-cifs-shares-not-mounting-after-modifying-etcfstab
baldfat, well take a break, but CIFS entries are certainly supported in /etc/fstab
baldfat, have you modprobed CIFS?
escott: so my home server and samba shares that are all working on my arch laptop and my wife's windows 7 and my debian box and then ubuntu is the only fail
escott: thanks trying
exit
I have it installed
escott: yup it is in modeprobe
baldfat, without seeing what your mount command is....
its basic //192.168.1.124/Pictures /home/marc/Pictures cifs username=guest                 0       0
http://pastebin.com/Fu6zQ3nd What's going on with my machine please?
baldfat, and have you tried "sudo mount -t cifs -o username=guest //192.168.1.124/Pictures /home/marc/Pictures"
baldfat, does smbclient //192.168.1.124/Pictures -Uguest work?
seeqwell, you skipped the best part... what happened just before 40seconds in the boot
seeqwell, actually nevermind
seeqwell, i dont see a problem
escott: Well now I have a permision denied error? looking it up
it says that every time my hard drive shuts off and spins real high - monitor and hard drive shuts off escott
seeqwell, and this happens 77 seconds after you turn on the computer?
I am looking for my menu.lst file in /boot/grub/ but I can't find it, I use grub 2, is there a different location for this file?
random escott
willdabeast, there is no menu.lst in grub2 its grub.cfg for grub2
seeqwell, so why did you show a dmesg that is from 77second after boot
escott ok thanks
oh was it?
where is the grub.cfg file then escott?
ok let me look deeper escott that was the last entry
seeqwell, the numbers in the [###] are seconds after boot
willdabeast: Note that to change settings you want to edit /etc/default/grub, as explained in the links from ubottu.
smbclient is weird
seeqwell, so if you are having this after a few hours then its a red herring
im trying to use it to mount a share i already have mounted using mount -t cifs syntax
grub2 has been around since 9.10?  How the *hell* did I end up with grub 0.97 on my 10.04 system?  [Rhetorical]
jordan_u thanks :)
iatrogene, its entirely possible that there is some change in syntax for cifs entries
willdabeast: You're welcome :)
its giving all sorts of funny errors
random escott sometimes 20 min sometimes back to back, sometimes  hours later ill get more information
like trying to authenticate to the domain
Karlo_: Did you upgrade from a pre 9.10 version of Ubuntu?
i didnt try sticking these mount statements in fstab, i was thinking about it tho
seeqwell, so the thing you pasted is irrelevant because that is from 80 seconds after the boot not 20 minutes
I *thought* that it had never seen a version older than 10.04.  But I got it from someone else, and I might be mistaken about the history.
http://pastebin.com/15JeJYwS here is more info escott
that's the whole kern.log escott
mount.cifs //xxxxxxx/Downloads-e /mnt/E -o user="xxxxxxx",pass="xxxxxxx"
howdy all. anyone here a minecrafter on ubuntu?
note remote cifs share name is funny and has a - in it
Karlo_: The other common reason is that someone reads a really old guide, tries to run "grub" (which is a command in grub legacy, but not grub2), thinks that the problem is that grub isn't installed and so they run "sudo apt-get install grub" (when they really should have just used a newer guide, and "grub-install").
that works fine and i have samba minimally configured
I need to allocate more ram to the .jar, and im hoping to build it straight into the default unity launcher icon
I see.
escott: thanks going to take a break frustrated :(
seeqwell, how did you reboot. were you pressing the reboot button?
but i'm no longer certain if the "cifs" subsystem is the same as the samba system... thats a good question
yeah escott it left me no other choice
iatrogene, they are not exactly, but they must share some stuff
monitor goes off and hard drive spins high and gets loud and I have to shut the tower down from the button.
That crash ate up my logs escott ?
ok ima try rebooting into 3.5.0 PAE lowlatency
brb
seeqwell, when you powercycled the machine yes
Karlo_: Are you still trying to upgrade to Ubuntu 12.04?
Yes
I took a break for food, etc, but back now.
So, back to my problem.  I have the cdrom image on the hard disk.  I can   mount -o ro,loop /root/ubuntu-12.04.1-desktop-i386.iso /mnt/cdrom   and I'll have what I guess looks equivalent to a mounted CD.  Now I'm supposed to chroot?  I'm confused -- my understanding is that "chroot DIR CMD" sets the root directory to DIR, which should be set up as if it were a complete file system; what's in /mnt/cdrom doesn't seem to satisfy that.
where can i find the terminal command that a unity launcher icon runs?
Karlo_, why do you want to chroot into the cd?
Karlo_, what are you trying to do here?
Ultimately, what I want to do is install 12.04.1 on this box.  I have no working network, no working CD.
Karlo_, and how is chrooting into the CD supposed to help?
Is there a reason that there's no options to add users to particular groups using the GUI tools?
Gerowen, because its an administrative task, and its distro specific what the groups are and what they do....
is there a way to change the default memory allowed for a java app?
escott: I have no idea.  I've seen multiple suggestions saying that I might need to chroot at some point, and I'm questioning when and how and why.
escott: Just wanted to add myself to a group and noticed the user accounts tool has been dumbed down since earlier versions, was wondering if I'd missed it or something.
Gerowen, maybe if the distros standardize on the groups that exist and their meanings you might see a gui, but at best the gui would end up being a glorified command line tool making it easier for people to screw things up with point and click
Karlo_, so am i
I don't have a clue escott did you see anything.  log goes back to when 20:44 that's about when it happened.
escott: Yeah I remember when it did exist, it was basically just a list of all the groups and you ticked checkboxes.
seeqwell, all i see in your logs is a segfault by QTdbus... and then your hard reboot.
<Jordan_U> Karlo_: [...] you should be able to mount the iso file, chroot into it, and run grub-install (for grub2) from there. At which point you can configure grub to boot from an iso stored on a USB drive, from which you can install Ubuntu.
ohhh ok that's a clue
seeqwell, the segfault is maybe when things started to go south but i dont know for sure
Karlo_, ok... i get it. your system doesn't boot usb
Snowie, something like this : java -Xmx1024m -jar MyApp.jar
escott, correct
I think ubuntu has a bug. I'm using the latest version, and /usr/share/oneconf, a python script, has a shebang of "#!/usr/bin/python", yet the script assumes Python 2 syntax, which means if /usr/bin/python is actually python3, the script crashes. is this a known issue? I think the fix is for the script and others like it to specify python2 instead of just python.
Karlo_, but if you already have a linux to be able to chroot into the cd... why cant you use the grub that is booting that system?
OerHeks, yeah. i have found that. but how do i make that the default launcher command, rather than running a seperate shell script?
I was trying to follow someone's directions that assumed grub2, rather than the grub 0.97 that's currently installed here.
Karlo_, Jordan_U is a pretty knowledgable guy so he must have had some reason to do this
Karlo_, ok... not it all makes sense
Karlo_, when you loop mount the cdrom what do you see inside it?
Karlo_, and why not just install grub2 on your system... grub2 has been available for ubuntu for a LONG time
Snowie, there are tons of tutorials howto make a custom launchers
Output of ls [modulo possible typos]: README.diskdefines autorun.inf boot/ casper/ dists/ install/ isolinux/ md5sum.txt pics/ pool/ preseed/ ubuntu wubi.exe
jchia, file it with oneconf... they either need to make themselves python3 compatible or fix their shebangs
escott: do you think maybe this is a prevalent problem among scripts in ubuntu in general
OerHeks, ok. still trying to find one. thanks man
Snowie, terminal: gnome-desktop-item-edit ~/Desktop/ --create-new
Karlo_, so there is another image in the casper folder... but this seems weird. why can't you just apt-get install grub2-common
Hey, I have a small problem. Everyday at this time -1H my Ubuntu machine starts thrashing my hardrive and all but locks up. Where all can I find schedualed jobs, and how can I see what's accessing the HD?
I can't install *anything* the normal way, because I'm stuck in runlevel 1, no network -- and the system refuses to enter a higher runlevel because the apt-get database is hosed.
nsaquatics, /etc/cronttab
escott, thanks yeah nothing there...
defiant09
I mean it's being very defiant...
Karlo_, well you would have to do a couple of loop mounts. one to unpack the cd and one to unpack the image inside the casper folder. and then chroot into that second loop mount
which is the command to find out what file is actually running from a terminal command right?
I just had a 12.04->12.10 upgrade fail and the update-manager is saying it can't do a partial upgrade.  What should I do? Can I force a full install of some kind?
Snowie, top? ps?
escott: I see.  That would be the filesystem.squashfs file, I presume.
Karlo_, yes. im wary of this approach though. you screw up the config of the grub you install and you won't be able to even boot to busybox
Karlo_, i would try a netboot first
Karlo_, if your bios supports it
Hello
Snowie you mean what process is runing or what file is open ?
People
escott, i have seen top. not sure what to do with it though. got any reading.
DarKMode, as in which file is run from $PATH, it's ok, that was correct
Snowie, man top
escott, ah, i see, thanks
escott, I don't think I can, but if you'd like to walk me through it, I'll see if I can confirm the failure.
escott, it usually happens when I run flash content
Why can't I scroll horizontally? The thing is checked in the settings thing. o_o
wasn't running any at the time though escott `
Karlo_, thats the thing... *I* wouldn't even attempt this... and I have 13 years of experience...
Well, if you can recommend what seems like the safest thing to try, I'll give it a shot.
Karlo_, buy a CD drive. thats the safest thing to do
Just proof-read me please somebody, I've never used the command line tool to manage groups, and I need to add myself to the VirtualBox group so I can use certain features.  This command should add me to the vboxusers group without removing me from the other groups I am a  member of:
sudo usermod -G vboxusers -a marcus
Gerowen, -a -a -a -a -a MUST HAVE -a
Help!
I see -a in there already.
Gerowen, i see you have it... but its in the wrong place
is my -a in the right place, or should I stick it beside the -G like -Ga ?
-a
Gerowen, -a -G group user
usermod -a -G vboxusers marcus
* Gerowen thanks everyone.
Gerowen, yours might be ok actually.... but i wouldnt try it
any other Ideas? Like how can I see what's actually accessing the HD/using allot of it's time?
nsaquatics, iotop
escott, should I unmount and reboot, at this point?
Karlo_, i dont know what you have done
escott: thx... I'll try that.
is there somewhere that talks about the format of /etc/network/interfaces?
I'm looking to parse it
"man interfaces"
escott: it appears you might be right, 3.2.0-pae works great. all the 3.5.x versions, pulseaudio gets cut.
iatrogene, then you have a audio driver regression and a scheduler regresion
loading pages in chrome, etc. (hadnt tried firefox)
well
is there a way to find out what changed in the scheduler between 3.2 and 3.5?
iatrogene, changelogs and git bisect
you mentioned /sys, i assume you mean /proc/sys/kernel
oh
iatrogene, no i mean /sys
oh
snap, i didnt notice that
well youve reached the limits of my linux knowledge: i know a wee bit about proc, but nothing about /sys
iatrogene, /proc is for running processes, /sys is for kernel tunables. some stuff that is now in /sys used to be in /proc
nice
what's the unity equivalent of tomboy?
teratoma: isn't it tomboy?
so where do you think i could find scheduler info in /sys, any ideas
iatrogene: are you talking about the schduler like CFS?
this machine has pci express video, its not that old really, last of the single core p4's, shouldnt be running into this kind of issue from a version upgrade
decent nvidia card
ive watched movies on it in the past
no prob
i need to check if that ability is affected becausae its not something i normally do with this machine
but i have in the past
on mounted samba shares
iatrogene, given that the hardware is probably at the end of its desktop usable lifespan i would just pin yourself to the older kernel
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions   Internal Server Error???
escott still, its DDR2, i get better results out of a dual single core xeon DDR era machine i have upstairs
sgo11, fine for me
So I am following these directions creating a ubuntu usb install on OSX, how should I initially format the drive (what format)?
is there a "terminal service" for linux
i.e. not vnc
http://www.ubuntu.com/download/help/create-a-usb-stick-on-mac-osx
escott, I got Internal Server Error.... what to do? cheers.
How do i make more desktops in Unity?
sgo11, try and refresh it... must be your mirror
dwarder, terminal service being?
dwarder, X?
Magiobiwan: microsoft terminal service
dwarder, ssh?
hmm
As in, Remote Desktop?
Why not just use VNC?
escott: i tried it and it was rather laggy
Magiobiwan: have you tried terminal service?
escott, .... ctrl-r refresh works. maybe because of cache. I thought return button would do the refresh.  thanks.
dwarder, X or ssh?
escott: i tried to run x over ssh
dwarder: are you wanting to literally be at the console/terminal level? there is "RDP" for graphics console
dwarder: install 'putty' , much simpler ssh client to configure
almoxarife: i want to work with remote GUI as fast (perceivable) as i can
dwarder, you might try NX
something like that
escott: thanks i'll take a look
looks promising
when i type sudo ps from x terminal i only get the processes executed by that terminal.  I have a program which has frozen, but I can't find a process list from which to kill it.
talpaswarrior, why would you ever run sudo ps?
talpaswarrior, ps aux
talpaswarrior: install 'htop' , run it with 'sudo' , problem solved , its sort of a gui, for terminal, makes killing stuff easy :)
i tried sudo ps since ps wasn't working.  i thought the security measures for memory access were for processes not run as admin.
* talpaswarrior is a newb still.
system monitor not working?
talpaswarrior, no... maybe in some NSA variant of linux, but everyone can see all processes that are running
talpaswarrior, you are just noticing that ps only shows the subprocesses by default
i just installed ubuntu 12.10 a week ago.
talpaswarrior: congrats
talpaswarrior, "ps aux" will show you everything by everyone
ok, thanks.
talpaswarrior: you running gnome ?
12.10 is nice.  i like the auto-updater and package manager.
they got a new package manager?
maybe?  how do i find out which gui i'm using?
anyone with a rtl8192ce??
how can I open ports to show my webpage?
you got the bar going down the rightside?
your using unity then
oh yea, unity then.
* th3pun15h3r likes unity took a while to get use to at first and didnt like 
yea.  i don't like how i can't find my programs if they are unpinned and minimized.
getting desura installed now
talpaswarrior: it alt-f2, enter in box 'system-monitor' , does it offer up an app?
hold alt and press tab
that gnome add-on looked pretty neat, the one which turns your multiple desktops into a 3D cube.
oh ya compiz
I like how zorin incorporated it in
lol, wow.  i never tried alt+tab.  nice features for us late migraters.
bling bling
oh, thanks!
almoxarife, but my windows can wobble, and a fish can swim in front of what im typing, and little people can be climbing up the sides of my windows and...
....yeah, the Alt+tab deal is pretty consistent across most operating systems
yep
almoxarife, someone should make a youtube video with all that stuff enabled. xcat and xsimpsons and wobbly windows and cube and xmatrix running on the root window
can i use ps aux | grep vnc to search the results for "vnc"
escott: found one bling bling worth the d/l , 'redshift', wow, so much easier on the eyes
hmm, it seems if I add an alias to the lo device lo:10, ifup lo:10 and then ifdown lo:10, the 127.0.0.1 ip is no longer bound to lo
talpaswarrior, yes
thx
results?
*output
talpaswarrior: log output?
is there a gui for cli?
idk, i'm not logging anything?
i just wanted the lines with "vnc" in them
talpaswarrior: believe me, you loggin
lol
talpaswarrior: thought of running gnome-system-monitor in 'tree' mode? or is that too gui'ish?
anyone had great success with playing battlefield 3 with wine?
talpaswarrior: better yet, run 'it' with gksu and point and kill processes, thats sort of fun
in mac os it is possible to zoom in a certain part of the screen, is there something like this for ubuntu?
dwarder: yes
i was really hoping to adapt to the cli for various reasons.
almoxarife: how is "it" called?
talpaswarrior: of course
mainly getting tired of ctrl+f combined with inefficient eyes
dwarder: 'it' is called 'gnome-system-monitor'
hmm, seems to only be a problem in 11.10
almoxarife: realy?
just wondering if anyone here has had luck
dwarder, its in the accessibility tools
dwarder: yeap, a point and kill game for ubuntu, in gksu mode
th3pun15h3r: appdb is really good
ugh lol
th3pun15h3r: got it the first time, thnks
escott: universal access?
dwarder, sure
escott: can't find anything related to zooming in the menus of this window
hi, new to linux, recomendations please
dwarder, "Seeing ZOOM"
ldvg: for a distribution?
escott: i mean this thing http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q6w9t81Qe-I
Ldvg: use ubuntu if you are beginning with Linux
escott: i'm on ubuntu 12.04
escott: i don't have this item
dwarder: not sure if you can find it in the system settings. the way I've always enabled that is by installing compizconfig-settings-manager
dwarder, not sure what it looks like in 12.04 but it would be under accessibility
dwarder, there might also be something in ccsm related to zoom
would apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager work?
talpaswarrior: yes. make sure to use sudo
omgooses: thanks
oh, right.  thanks.
escott: thanks, need to go
Talpas, sudo apt-get install [insert package(s) here]
Damn, my client lags .-.
derosnec, this is an english only channel. i cannot identify what you are typing
hey, is there any glade users here by chance?  If so, I am trying to usse glade and whenever I try to import it into my main.c file with xml = glade_xml_new gcc freaks out with a bunch of error: stray '\###' in program
any help?
ratbert90, improperly encoded? run it through iconv maybe?
hipitihop, is getting "Your installation of CD-ROM couldn't be mounted." a common issue with booting ubuntu server 12.10 from a usb stick?
i mean hi
not hipiti :P
sorry escott and everyone, i just wanna... :)
escott, I shouldn't have to though
that's whats really ticking me off.
derosnec, its ok... i just can't point you to your own language channel without knowing what it is (but there probably is one)
i should have asked, has anyone had a problem installing ubuntu from a usb stick?
tdog158, how did you make the USB?
with lili
i also tried unetbootin
what does right click execution specify to the os during execution?
tdog158, where does it go wrong ?
right after language & keyboard
You are right. it's turkish: there are
tdog158, preferred method is usb-creator-gtk if you have a working ubuntu system to start with
too many people.
it means
it'll try to mount and tell me 'Your installation CD-ROM couldn't be mounted. This probably means that the CD-ROM was not in the drive. If so you can insert it and try again'
i do not currently have a working ubuntu system
derosnec, so thats what turkish looks like... i was gonna say either polish or french with a stuck "k"
I ran Dota 2 today on ubuntu using wine like it was native, I'd say thats an accomplishment.
tdog158, could be that your bios cannot boot usbs
i installed a crux distro not too long ago with no problem on the same usb stick
tdog158, then check the md5sum. if that checks out then its an issue with how you created the usb stick
tdog158: Last I checked (admittedly a long time ago) the server/alternate install CDs don't support booting from anything but an actual CD.
I am a potato.
tdog158: You can boot the netboot installer from USB though.
Well for desktop its a DVD now.
kk, i'll check out this md5sum exe first
tdog158: You can install Ubuntu server from the netboot installer.
:) escott, im at mobile now, i just gonna one question: is live dvds for current version broken or smthng? i cannot install yesterday
okay, is there a page that explains how to do that?
derosnec, i havent heard anything like that
kiyoura,
okay so I have noticed a very strange security flaw with ubuntu 12.10 Gnome 3
sometimes GDM will lock up when I am trying to log back in
if I press CTRL+ALT+L then it logs in without asking for my password
who would want to know about this?
is it before youve put the password in?
servvs, why do you think it was security flaw ?
because now anyone can log into my computer without putting in my password
yes its before I put the password in
it locks up on the GDM login screen where you swipe the image up
if you press CTRL+ALT+L it just logs in automatically
ok, i was at work and after this, my friend call me for install ubuntu. But we couldn't. It surprised me. That's all. Thanks :) i will try again tomorrow.
I get an error report to send to ubuntu as well
hello all. new to ubuntu and have question. is there a way to remove shopping lense from dashboard without removing online results altogether?
tdog158, no probs, had me confused for a bit there :-)
billzbox: maybe try super+a
chogydan: noob here not sure what you mean. is there someplace i can read   on this? look it up?
servvs: is this a stock install? does it happen only when the screen is locked or on initial login as well?
billzbox: windows key+a
chogydan: right that opens dash....
servvs: submit a bug against gdm and you may want to mention it in #ubuntu-gnome, also bug 1064584 seems like it might be related
is there any good gui to use for a server
YeahRight, sorry hipitihop, my client likes to auto-complete names while i like to put a comma after my greeting
chogydan: looking for a way to turn off the amazon results without opting out of online results altogether
i did it again, sorry yearight T_T
crltnmgn, as fare as I can see only when the screen is locked. Never on initial login. No its not a stock install. I upgraded from 12.04 (had gnome shell 3.4) now I have 12.10 gnome shell 3.6
servvs: unless of course that is the same bug you are seeing, then you don't need to file a new one
billzbox: do you still get amazon when using super+a?
OldOneEye gnome is good one
it looks very similar
I didn't have that issue at all when using lightdm so I may just switch back to that for a bit
how can I run something alongside lightdm on boot?
chogydan: looking for a way to turn off the amazon results without opting out of online results altogether
chogydan: whoops sorry , hit enter by mistake
chogydan: nope i guess that works
chogydan: thankyou sir
billzbox: it is the app view dash
there is some sorta help somewhere...
ok, so that was fixed. However is there libglade3.0 files for ubuntu ?
thanks for the info guys
chogydan: wish there was just some way to remove the shop doodad altogether. hate having adverts pushed in my lap in my own house
billzbox: check privacy settings if you havent yet
servvs: on the wrong box at the moment to have a go myself, but will try to replicate it tomorrow morning
chogydan: yeah, but that only lets me opt out of all online results
ya
chogydan: was hping to kill the amazon results
chogydan: ok well thanks. this works for now. will keep hunting
hey guys how do i make my ubuntu like backtrack????/
has anyone else been having connection issues with empathy on 12.04?
Stormryder, install the stuff from backtrack, perhaps?
hi, recently my Broadcom wireless card has stopped working. Works in other OSes etc, and I can't work out what's changed. Using Quantal and can still see the device listed in lspci
driver got deleted or for some reason not loading?
voltagex, sure? please use paste.ubuntu.com for the output of lspci
voltagex: do you have the 'headers' for the new kernel installed?
almoxarife: probably not
apt-get kernel-headers?
what's the kernel headers package called these days?
voltagex: kernel-headers-generic , i think, should be two files
anybody know of a glade.h for gtk 3?
voltagex: use synaptic?
* salcoder aptitude rules!
salcoder, only @ 32 bit ubuntu.
* salcoder uses text-command all the way.
been wondering if 32 bit ubuntu would be less of a hassle than 64 bit
* salcoder is using irssi... Such a DOS nerd lol
bah, transparently proxied network that doesn't like .debs
Don't worry about 32 or 64 bit...
Worry about being efficient at using the system.
:)
ot
it'd be nice if someone'd realize that 32-bit is here to stay, and do stuff like making 64-bit time_t, ways to map large amounts of memory via segmentation, etc
efficency is kde with cloud sync
though I heard x32 does have 64-bit time_t
I dont do alot of heavy video editing im just about listening and streaming media and gaming
almoxarife: OK, I have the headers installed now
OerHeks, who the hecks has multi-ver multi-arch installed?
Why would anybody need more than 32 bits for a timestamp?  :-D
salcoder, everyone who runs 64bit
That is just non-sense... and of course it is obvious that aptitude won't work.
salcoder any ubuntu 64 bit user from version 11.10
I have done aptitude update and aptitude safe-upgrade and aptitude distro-upgrade all the time with no problem.
You have to watch for dependencies... that's all.
almoxarife: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1352432/ for my lspci, the wireless card is there
voltagex: reboot
seriously?
voltagex: unless you know a way to get the kernel to use the headers
almoxarife, what???
voltagex, you need to recompile the module... no need to reboot
I guess I'm just old school and don't like GUI interfaces to manage my packaging system.
escott: recompile the what
?
recompile the kernel with the module modified according to your needs.
voltagex: listen to escott
or reboot :)
* salcoder thinks that reboots are for windows users ;)
voltagex: the issue is the driver, si?
almoxarife, the kernel doesn't use the headers... presumably you need him to install the headers so that voltagex can compile an out of tree broadcom module
escott: I couldn't find the dkms command so a reboot was easier
escott: correct, it works now
voltagex: :)
escott: it isn't an out of tree module
thanks.
simple methods for simple people (me) !
anywho, working now
grrr empathy wont stay connected
keeps connecting and disconnecting
:[
th3pun15h3r: empathy does what
?
what sort of client?
facebook chat
the one integrated with ubuntu 12.04 taskbar
th3pun15h3r: how do you know the issue is not server related?
true
th3pun15h3r: better yet, what does syslog say?
ill try on the website itself
th3pun15h3r: /var/log/syslog
tail it if you want to get all cli on it
or use a nice log viewer built into the desktop
quitting due to inactivity?
th3pun15h3r: thats from syslog?
look like a server issue
th3pun15h3r: oh darn, reduced to irc chat
huh?
I use facebook chat to talk to my wife whose pc is upstairs
:)
instead of us trying to yell at each other
especially dont want to wake up the baby and anyone else in the house
th3pun15h3r: thought about setting up a lan server for your own use?
th3pun15h3r: facebook xmpp service has been having troubles all weekend for me
* almoxarife google chats with his dear mother, google works
I just switched back to ubuntu from crunchbang waldorf
lol
hey all. something funky is going on. 'service bind9 start' is failing with "named: user 'bind' unknown" yet running "id bind" shows valid information. any idea? it was working perfectly before, and i just did a reboot, now everything is screwy. made no dns changes prior to reboot
I just hope i can get torchlight 2 working on steam through playonlinux like last time
kevin: does user 'named' exist in 'user/groups'?
#3vent1
almoxarife: no, only 'bind' exists as user and group
is there an easier way to mv files with long names via cli?
kevin, and this is not an initramfs issue. its happening if try and start the service now
hi everyone
escott: im not sure what you mean...?
kevin, it happens if you type "sudo service bind9 start" right now
is the service called bind9 or named?
I want to embed CLIPS in C application, I have CLIPS installed, but "include <clips.h>" does not work, and searching for clips.h, couldn't find, what do I need to do?
almoxarife: it's bind9. i have no named service
Kevin check the log file may be you can find some thing tail /var/log/syslog
the service is called 'named' and the process is called 'named' in opensuse
almoxarife named is thename on redhat centos
almoxarife for ubuntu it bind9
DarKMode: ok
ah, theres a couple of these: Nov 11 23:48:58 cerberus kernel: [ 1430.684349] type=1400 audit(1352695738.948:44): apparmor="DENIED" operation="open" parent=4187 profile="/usr/sbin/named" name="/etc/nsswitch.conf" pid=4203 comm="named" requested_mask="r" denied_mask="r" fsuid=0 ouid=0
named
:)
kevin, you may need to disable apparmor for named or update the apparmor profile
disable some security measures from productions system was a bad things
Was?
Hello, does anyone know how to get the upgrade notice to quit appearing?
kevin open new terminal with tail -f /var/log/syslog restart the service and pastme every thing use paste.ubuntu.com
mmm, i just 'service appparmor reload' and then bind started fine. maybe something funky happened on boot *shrug*
kevin: may i ask why you use 'bind'?
i'm trying to read files on an exfat formatted usb flash drive.  when i try to use apt-get install fuse-exfat i get the message "E: Unable to locate package fuse-exfat"

hello i want to create an usb live stick (different distribution) what tool can i use under ubuntu 12.10?

I just installed ubuntu on a netbook using a thumbdrive i made with unetbootin, for some reason the netbook wil not boot without the usb key in it, after i log in i can take it out but if i do before it just hangs at black screen, any ideas?
MrMagic_: sounds like you installed grub in the usb stick
xangua, is that easy to fix?
DarkMode nothing displays, just outputs another prompt
MrMagic_ it better to reinstall it again
MrMagic_: i personally have never had that problem, you can try the restore grub instructions
talpaswarrior: http://apcmag.com/how-to-enable-exfat-in-ubuntu.htm <-- take a look, mentions a ppa
already ran apt-add-repository ppa:relan/exfat
talpaswarrior: did you update?
what do you mean?
apt-get update
ok
almoxarife that worked
xangua, awesome trying that now
talpaswarrior apt-cache search fuse | grep fat
talpaswarrior i think it fusefat
try apt-get install fusefat
DarKMode: you think so?
almoxarife it writed there
DarKMode: he added a ppa, had not 'updated' , he could have 'grep'ed' till the cows came in and he would have not seen the package
fusefat : File System In user Space - Module For Fat

AND SINCE THEN AFTER A WHILE INTO BOOTING THE KEYBOARD GETS STUCK ON CAPS LOCK
AND HTE CAPS LOCK BUTTON DOESNT DO ANYTHING
since a while new gnome or so it's not anymore possible to minize windows?
is this a joke?
Tape: you can use onboard, try turn off caplock first.
oh right
how does onboard help fixing this
cuz caps lock only works on the onboard kb
what is with minimize windows?
how can i do this?
you can't it is a feature only featured on freebsd
where do i get this freebsd
joke :D

rumpe1: i edited this file , All things is true but "apt-add-repository" not work !
i have a purple bootscreen freezing on 12.04, need a reboot to boot to login screen properly...how can i fix this?
Any tips on another IRC room that may help? #alsa didn't...
mah454, if you change the /etc/lsb-release, logically any repository cannot find your custom build
mah454, so apt-add-repository seems to use the output of lsb-release to determine an URL... bad luck.
Thanks, lotuspsychje, but it doesn't seem like anyone is ever available in #alsa
I've tried all day
is it possible to use 2 wireless connnnnection at the same time ?
grrr
mah454, build a wrapper around apt-add-repository or get its source code and adapt it ...
meowmeow, sure
and how to do it
i must be having a brain crash after hrs of programming.
how do i know which connection is using for web browsing
meowmeowmeow, tell the system, which device to use for which purpose
meowmeowmeow, see output of "route"
AcidRain2012: did you try ##programming
it doesn't sound possible
meowmeowmeow, why shouldn't it be?
im looking for a program that can measure wifi range of wifi adapter, any hints?
hello
hello !!
i want to use connection a to watch video and the other to do other web browsing
meowmeowmeow, if you maybe want to combine two internet connections ... you just have to tell the system how to do that.
meowmeowmeow, a video from where? local network?
no youtube
what do you mean by telling the system ?
meowmeowmeow, so you want to browser/access internet on both devices.
what app can be used to " tell the system "
i have a question...if i create a user without password on my ubuntu server (to let a process user that user instead of one of the primary) is it a risk? should i create auser with password?

i created it through useradd

I am currently on an OLD rig that I stopped using sometime in 2008. It's a Pavilion 304w running Ubuntu 8.04. While I know this version is no longer supported, I am trying to figure out how to at least watch flash content on the internet (youtube, etc). Can anyone lend me a hand??
Which pkt has the itrace (instruction tracing software) for Ubuntu ? The default install is a network utility itrace
meowmeowmeow, hm... good question. But it sure is possible. The question is maybe "How difficult is it, so configure something like that?"
well, i just want to ask a question... my ubuntu is running slowly, and suddenly get freeze for seconds... with many task... somebody could tell me what to do to fix it ?
my question is...can someone take over that user because it has no password or has it the saem risk as user with password?
Oerheks:nice program tnx!!
now normally I would upgrade, but I honestly don't think my PC could handle a newer version (hell, even new website designs make it run choppy). So, any help? Much obliged
Flyzoola: its highly recommended to clean install your system
my GRUB doesn't have a countdown timer when I reboot, does my config look okay?  http://pastebin.com/uyDWf6H8
Flyzoola, with newer ubuntu versions, you would have HD support for GPU , and newer flash, to go with it. maybe update your browser and use html5 in youtube.com
c/hd/hw
somebody ?
lotuspsychej, Oerheks. I understand, but this PC is pretty much in the same working conditions as it was in 2008. I tried upgrading to Chrome, but a discreptency (is that it?) was missing. Is there really no simple way to do this?
hilo
Is there some setting that governs the UI font style? Right now for firefox it's set to ubuntu but it's not boled like it normally is
gfd
Flyzoola:rolling back to older flash version might work, but i recommend clean install
guess not...
lotuspsychej, like I said, I doubt my computer could handle a newer version of Ubuntu. My old rig was newer by a couple of years and I still had some problems with it because it was older.
SimonJai:grub config looks normal to me, what your issue exactly?
Like I said, I'm using 8.10 and when I stopped using it years back, it worked fine, as it does now. Just all my software is outdated
Flyzoola: just not supported here :)
and I know I can't just "add/remove" from the Ubuntu menu :(
Flyzoola:thats just the reason its not supported anymore, also security risk using older software
Flyzoola, only solution is to install a new ubuntu, with a lighter DE like xfce - xubuntu
please can someone answer me? i'm kinda new to this :( i created a user with useradd so it's basically a user without password...is it a security risk?
hello23:you mean like a guest user?
hello23:a user without password, doesnt have root axs, so it kinda 'safe' to use
i want a process to make it use that user
so i has't access to the rest
hello23:wich process?
is that right?
amule
amuled
dang, I was hoping to not have to do a fresh install :(
hi this what would LIKE to do :would like to connect windows box through linux one and bridge connection to net with ip number on that lan
it's basically a filesharing damemon
hello23:sure
are there, by any chance, any channels you guys know of that might help me with older versions of Ubuntu? If not, that's ok.
SimonJai, comment # before the GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT=0 line: #GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT=0
hello23: hi
hi
nowhereman:did you clean install ubuntu or upgrade?
hello23: hi
SimonJai, Then do a sudo update-grub and reboot.
Oddly enough, less does not seem to fold lines by default on my Ubuntu 12.10 installation. Why is this?
.
lotuspsychje no, i just installed ubuntu 10.04 and now said that i have ubuntu 1210
.
good evening. anyone have an hauppage PVR-1250 tv tuner with an IR blaster?
trying to get my IR remote to work on it. i'm using 12.04.1
Is there some way of seeing what files I have on my system that are not in packages as listed per dpkg -l?
ok, easier request. How do I uninstall firefox, and then install a newer version? I am very much ignorant to the process of installing through tarballs through the terminal.
and in the information display said that i just have 1,8 gb in memory ... but i really have 4 gb  and in HD said 0gb ! D:
Anybody? :o
nowhereman: i really recommend a clean install mate, your system will go much smoother
Flyzoola: why do you want to install a tarball of firefox?
nowhereman:after clean install 12.10 do a system shred with ubuntu-tweak
Flyzoola, uninstalling is something you can do through your software center
well, i downloaded the ubuntu from internet... what can i do to do a clean install ?
Flyzoola: there is a firefox beta ppa at https://launchpad.net/~mozillateam/+archive/firefox-next.  Does that suffice for your purposes?
somsip: because that's the only available download for a newer version. Off of "getfirefox.com" they only offer a tarball download. I would use the software center for a newer version, but I'm on ubu8.04.
oooh ! all right i will try it ! thanks lotuspsychje
kushal_kumaran: I am not entirely sure, but I will deffinately check it and I thank you for your support :)
mattsyco, thanks a lot sir
Flyzoola: yeah - PPA looks like a easier way, but 8.04...
so, is new firefox incompatible with older ubuntu versions, basically??
Flyzoola, yes.and that ppa has no candidate for 8.10 intrepid, so it is useless
Oerheks, ah, ok. Then I will have to upgrade my version. The woes of downloading at 10 kb/s fall upon me haha
Flyzoola: I don't think people are building firefox packages for ubuntu 8.04.  The official tarball might still work.
I would still try the ppa first.  the worst that can happen is that you get a file that cant be read by software center.
kushal_kumaran: yeah, I figured as much. I was just trying to find a way around upgrading because my internet connection is very much slow, so it's gonna be a couple of hours (or twelve). I'll give the tarball a try, if it does not work, then oh well, I shall upgrade.Thanks you guys, everyone that's helped me

StarryNight: do you know how to get to your logs?
lemme check them
StarryNight: or another way, start skype from terminal and watch output as the conversation progresses
StarryNight: look at syslog
ok
There are like 2 people helping in this channel. -.-"
StarryNight: you have seen this happen with more than one win skype user? otherwise i would say the issue is with the win machine
yea because it happened with two different users
StarryNight: ok
gustav__: explain your issue a bit better
will i be better off with 32 bit version?
StarryNight: skype?
yep
hmmm... if bash doesnt have a goto function, how to i get back to the beginning of a script without having to rerun it manually?
i need to know this because im waiting on a device to be plugged in
StarryNight: cant hurt to try
AcidRain2012: adb?
what is adb? man adb gives nothing
AcidRain2012: wrap the activity in a loop with a test to detect that the device is now plugged in?
AcidRain2012: sorry, i was wondering if you had 'adb' waiting on a device, android device
almoxarife: I have a touchpad with multitouch. Horizontal scrolling in gnome-control-panel is checked. When I move two fingers in x-axis nothing happens. It used to work.

im actually done with the script. i just simplily need to loop it
gustav__: i am clueless about ubuntu on tablet, sorry
OerHeks: Hey, I commented out "GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT=0", did a `grub-update` and rebooted
.... this is ubuntu on desktop
but still stuck on GRUB menu
lol
almoxarife: Good. This is not a tablet.
gustav__: two finger on touchpad, got it, still clueless, what should happen? btw, what changes were made between it working and now?
almoxarife: Should move the horizontal bar in a very wide firefox webpage for instance. A lot of changes... various packages. Might be because I am in WindowMaker... but I think it worked at one point in time after I changed to it.
gustav__: synaptics, not to be confused with synaptic i believe controls mouse and pad, was there a change to that package?
how do I edit an xrandr mode?
I was trying to install alacarte for a main menu editor but it has many dependencies. Does anyone know some other tool?
How can i change adobe flash fonts?
almoxarife: Can I check out history? I don't think so.
Hmm...
gustav__: you can with 'synaptic' package manager
rinzler: are you adding a mode or tweaking with xrandr?
almoxarife: Some xorg package.
HELLO
HorizScrollDelta has 0; xorg.conf.
That doesn't sound very good.
almoxarife: added a mode, and then arandr didn't like it, so I needed to either delete it or change it. I got it removed now, so I'm good now :)

Is there a good epub reader for Ubuntu?
on windows 8?
Thete, i use Calibre for all formats
mattfury, I haven't used windows 8
Thete, Calibre is the only program I know is able to open epub files. Sux a bit that evince isn't able to do it
ls
Doesn't make much sense as to why there isn't many options
Thete, Calibre has not many options?
No I mean other apps
Thete, there is also an epub plugin for FF as well
Thinking about writing some nice clean app for it
or FBreader.
Thete, A plugin to Evince would be enough (if that is possible)
That'd work
It shouldn't be too hard, it's just CSS formated XML
ah, nice

is there a reason why eclipse juno is not in the ubuntu repos ?
Justice: It's easier to just update eclipse through eclipse
I've found it's a huge pain in the ass to use the apt pkg
Works great if you just download the package from Eclipse's website
how is it simplet to download and install 3.8 and then update to juno and not have juno in repos in the beginning ?
simpler*
any one here atm?
Just download juno directly from eclipse's website
and install that
Don't bother with the repo version
no i thought there was a "reason" for it
i need a little bit of iptables help...just one command
other than meh we dont bother to update our repos

Danielss89: while ! leeroy; do echo "Restarting leeroy due to exit with non-zero exit status: $?"; done
Jordan_U: where should i put that?
oh, i want to be able to close my terminal also
Danielss89: That will run leeroy, and if the command exits "successfully" (with an exit status of zero) then it will simply stop there, if it exits with an error then it will be restarted.
Jordan_U: ok

Hi user01 - it can do. If possible you could consider setting up dynDNS
That war toy
dynDNS won't help for outgoing connections
Yeah... Hmm.
 user01 You could ask your ISP if they can provide you a static IP.
user01, or use Tor
OerHeks: even tor won't give you always teh same exit-node/IP
llutz, true, but it hides his real IP
OerHeks: which won't help at all
tor?
tor distributes the connection to different ips i thought
vpn-gateway or proxy with fixed IP
user01: it does
llutz, which is the opposite if i ask them to whitelist one ip? :)
user01: tell that OerHeks ;)
llutz, so Tor is useless ?
user01: i'd guess you need a vpn-gateway or proxy with fixed IP somewhere
OerHeks: in this case it is, yes
OerHeks, if you are trying to stay anonymous it  is useful
llutz, we have juniper but it sucks with linux
llutz, cant get it to work
user01, ssl-vpn?
cloudy, they dont have that though that would be nice
cloudy, i guess i could ask though
cloudy, we have key fob juniper
user01, is a key fob something like a rsa hard token?
cloudy, i think i would prefer some kind of white list since the servers are on the other side of the planet
cloudy, yes
cloudy, random number ever 30 seconds
user01, right, thanks. Do you have a client for linux?
juniper?
user01, maybe java based?
cloudy, i do but it fails
my system is a bit slow, what can I do to free up space?
cloudy, when i asked for help from the ubuntu guy at work he says the juniper is notorious difficult
user01, in linux
user01, I think I know what your colleague means
:)
user01, but as long as your IP is not whitelisted on your works side, I think any client would fail
abem: uninstalling old kernels is a great way :)
cloudy, you should see the script i wrote so that it would select the 32 bit java over 64 bit just to open the juniper
abem: I'm not sure freeing space will speed things up but it's no bad thing to do
abem: "df -h" to check free space first
cloudy, right but i dont know if my isp will give me a fixed ip address
i guess i can send a whitelistip everytime it changes
user01: they will, but you'll have to pay for
or go to starbucks
llutz, could i give a range perhaps?
user01: i really don't know sorry
User01: you could, but it would have to be quite wide
And it would kind of defeat the point of an ip filter. It'd be as easy just requesting a static IC.
i'm on 12.10, and my sound, which was previously working fine, has gone missing ... can someone please suggest a way to fix it?
IP*
dougbb: have you checked your settings in the Sound settings? Got the correct default device etc. ?
Chartax: I'm on xubuntu
Best way to grab a screenshot of a certain part of my desktop or a certain app?
I'm willing to think that the "default device" issue is a concern though, since I have a vidoe card with hdmi that tends to cause confusion
philballew: gimp will do that
or the xfce screenshot app
dougbb, gimp does screenshots?
ActionParsnip: What do you think could be the cause of this slow system? Sorry for my ignorance not a computer fundi.
nope, I lied to you just now :)
* philballew cries
can a whitelist do a domain so that i could do dyndns?
abem: what CPU / RAM / GPU do you have?
user01: does dyndns (or similar services) set reverse-dns? if not, that won't help either
somsip, thank you
philballew: there are a few similar ones...xsnap is my choice
hello
Whats up?
i recently setup a fileserver with ubuntu server...i was thinking of using zfs as filesystem...is it reliable on ubuntu?
close
quit
user01, I would check the website of your ISP.
hey moon33, I'm just doing the same
I have gone with ext4
But am investigating alternatives...
i really would like a fs that survives power loss
moon33: not recommend on GNU/Linux to use ZFS
Hi!
moon33: its a sloaris/bsd fs
solaris
anyone here have time to explain how to dual boot windows 8 with ubuntu 12.10 ?
what do u recommend then?
moon33: ext4
moon33: battery backup on the raid card.
ActionParsnip: Memory 2,7 GiB, Processor: AMD Athlon(tm)X2 DualCore QL-66 x 2, Available disk space: 97,1 GiB
abem: what GPU?
what about btrfs?
testing
hi
yeah, still no stable release.
abem: lspci | grep -i vga      will tell you
isn't there really any good alternatives to zfs on linux?
moon33: not yet, no
aw :(
ok
xfs?
moon33: btrfs?
Hi!
anyone here have time to explain how to dual boot windows 8 with ubuntu 12.10 ?
user01: regarding the Juniper Java-based SSL-VPN client. It is possible to do away with the Java access-control client entirely. See for example:  http://www.rz.uni-karlsruhe.de/~iwr91/juniper/
i have like 10TB of stuff to backup i really need something stable
 !dualboot | b0w
and something i can trust for long
yarinse: Ubuntu 12.04 will recieve updates for longer, but 12.10 is more recent
anyone? dual booting?
yarinse: Unless you have a good reason to stick with the older version, I'd recommend 12.10
b0w: Yes many people. Install Windows 8 first, then Ubuntu and you'll be golden
b0w: did you not see the links that have been mentioned twice now?
hello
do you thing freenas would be a better alternative?
think*
and use it's native zfs

Hi. what can cause this message :
kernel: [    1.486705] ata1.00: failed to enable AA(error_mask=0x1)
blazemore: Precise is supported long after Quantal is EOL
hi, if lightdm starts my specified window manager - which environment is it using for the launch?
blazemore: For the latest features,
choose Ubuntu 12.10
Ubuntu 12.10 will be supported for two years and includes cutting-edge new features that make your music, videos, documents and apps much easier to access.
blazemore: pretty sweet reason imho
freenasons....
ludolan: When does that appear?
TJ-, where does it say that it does not use java to run?
blazemore: randomly. It cause some iptables rules deleted ....
z01d: "Freenasons" is possible the best word I'll see today
can someone help me install the amd drivers for and AMD HD radean 660m? I've broken to installs so far :/
moon33: You can run FreeNAS in a virtual machine or something. Or use a RasPi
^^
carlosllugo: What have you tried?
ActionParsnip: does this help? VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] nee ATI RS780M/RS780MN [Mobility Radeon HD 3200 Graphics]
downloaded the official drivers from amd, and tried installing fglrx, then acutally running the drivers but it never works
Hey guys, is there anyway to have nose look in every .py file looking for unittests ?
I got it working back at 12.04 beautifully but for 12.10 its a mess
if I do nosetest it segmentation faults, but if i do nosetests -w folder1/unit-test.py it works fine (but only on that file)
TJ-, i also do not see where the rsa key would be entered in that config
abem: and the output of:  lsb_release -sc
blazemore i'll give freenas a try
Hi!
anyone here have time to explain how to dual boot windows 8 with ubuntu 12.10 ?
runs from usb anyway
user01: " It is possible to get, install and run network connect completely without Java" and for the keys, in "~/.juniper_networks/network_connect/config"
kiwif_000_: Install Windows 8, then install Ubuntu
kiwif_000_:  http://tinyurl.com/cuocpt9
got 8 installed but i read something about making some partitions before
user01: That doesn't solve your dynamic IP issue though. Just thought you'd like to know you can avoid the web-browser java plug-in authentication
carlosllugo, Have a look at the following site: http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Main_Page
abem: ati 2xxx to 4xxx GPUs have issues with teh Xorg in Quantal, you will need this guide to install a legacy driver to make it work well: http://community.secondlife.com/t5/Second-Life-Viewer/Ubuntu-12-10-with-legacy-AMD-ATI-cards-to-play-SL/td-p/1708327
kiwif_000_: can windows 8 resize it's own partitions like Windows 7 can?
i dont know
cloudy thanks, im looking in to it now
i use to have ubuntu only but now i got a new pc with windows 8
kiwif_000_: use disk manager (after running a full backup) and make some unpartitioned space. You can then install to that.
carlosllugo, just following the links for Ubuntu. It is a lot of material but makes a nice read
ActionParsnip, disk manager here on windows?
kiwif_000_: yes
ActionParsnip, ok
Hi, I installed 12.10 desktop amd_64. After I installed the experimental nvidia driver Unity won't load. I can get to the termimal, what would the command be to revert back to the original non propietary drivers?
user01: A possible solution would be to get yourself a (free) micro AWS EC2 host instance, configure it as a proxy, and use it to relay your connections. Although if it gets stopped/started it could also change its IP. You can get static IPs in some of the paid-for services.
carlosllugo, open a terminal and type: top
ActionParsnip, shrink the volume?
done
cloudy: done*
carlosllugo, this will give you a list of open applications and you can see the cpu usage of the individual applications
cloudy: also have a syspeek windown open
ActionParsnip, hey how many partitions its recommendes to make, i read something about installing the boot on a single partition
carlosllugo, ok - sorry, I've never used it.
kiwif_000_: you'll need at least 2 for Ubuntu, '/' and 'swap'
cloudy: ok I've type top in terminal and Im seeing all the process that are running on the system so far
kiwif_000_: if you just make free space, the installer will partition the space for you]
carlosllugo: By default, the list from 'top' is sorted by CPU usage, so if a process spikes you should see it listed at the top of that list immediately
hi all
what is the command to know when a certain package is installed?
Carlinhos: Also, as the CPU is multi-core, it might help to expand the per-core stats in the header area by pressing the 1 (one) key
carlosllugo, in the white bar towards the center you see %CPU, that shows the CPU usage of the different applications. It is updated every 2 seconds, I think.
oops, that was for carlosllugo
TJ: if I spot a process thats going haywire, in there a way to say control that process for example if i right click an app in unity menu the system will bug down brutally is there a way that I can pinpoint why its doing that?
TJ: is there*
Hi, I installed 12.10 desktop amd_64. After I installed the experimental nvidia driver Unity won't load. I can get to the termimal, what would the command be to revert back to the original non propietary driver?
ActionParsnip, ok ok, let me get this so i dont mess it up hehehe, i got a new toshiba lap, it comes with a 750 gb hd, right now it justa has windows 8 installed, so what i got to do is make a partition for ubuntu, (like, 100 gb for windows and 500 for ubuntu) after that, the instalattion cd will make all the partitions i need (including the boot one?)
what else is there in cli besides find and locate for searching things?
Blabloups
brontosaurusrex, whereis
brontosaurusrex, which
brontosaurusrex, grep
kiwif_000_: I suggest a small one for Ubuntu, Not onli is Windows stupidly bloated, but NTFS can also be written to by Ubuntu
brontosaurusrex: why do you need more than locate :)
ActionParsnip: i think locate is not default in other distros?
brontosaurusrex: possibly, find will more than likely be present
Anyone?
ActionParsnip, ok like how much for ubuntu? and what about the instalation cd thing, it is going to make the partition needed to install the boot?
i installed ubuntu 12.04 but install release option is still showing
ActionParsnip: right
are you booting to the harddrive?
kiwif_000_: 100Gb will be more than enough. My / partition is less than 4Gb used will all the codecs and a full graphical desktop etc
tokinwhiteman: try removing all nvidia packages, then install the nvidia-current package
i can't get to a GUI
yarinse, 12.04. Also you meant 12.10 (there is no 12.01)
tokinwhiteman: if you run:  dpkg -l | grep nvidia | grep -v nvidia-common     uninstall and/or purge those packages
tokinwhiteman: do it in root recovery console then
how do i get the age of locate databse?
database*
do a apt-remove?
tokinwhiteman: you installed 'experimental' drivers...what were you expecting...
*facepalm i know
tokinwhiteman: apt-get --purge remove
ActionParsnip, ok, how many partitions i have to make? just one with 100 gb or less for /?
kk
kiwif_000_: leave one lump of freed space then boot to the installer
tokinwhiteman: if you see any nvidia packages with 'rc' on the left. use:  sudo dpkg -P packagename
ActionParsnip, i red something about making a /home partition its a good idea
tokinwhiteman: leave the nvidia-common package installed
kiwif_000_: it can be, yes. Makes backups and reinstalls easier
brontosaurusrex: if you mean date of last modification: ls -l /var/lib/mlocate/mlocate.db
overclucker: thanks
ActionParsnip, ok im dowloading a partition software rith now , im goign to make a / partition with 50 gb, a /home partition with 500 and leave windows with 200, then when im on ubuntu installer, the installer its goind to make a partition to install the boot on a dif place than MBR right?
what does that do? I am about to apt-get --purge remove
kiwif_000_: does the WIn8 not have the feature to resize NTFS?
should i still do that? the remove? there are 2 labeled with li on the left side
hi everybody. How do you check which application or process is using the disk? I need to identify disk overuse.
kiwif_000_: you'll only need abot 20Gb for a standard desktop OS
just remove those then do dpkg -P nvidia-current-updates?
kiwif_000_: you may need to put Ubuntu in logical partitions to overcome the maximum of 4 primary partitions issue
tokinwhiteman: if it has 'rc' on the left colomn, yes
kk, roger that
ActionParsnip, ok, logila partitions, got it, but im a lil bit confused on the space on every partition thing, the 20 gb you mentioned are for wich partition?
Hi I'm new to multiuser ubuntu ;-) I need to add an user that can only read and write into his home directory - nowhere else. how to manage this?
kiwif_000_: '/' this will let you use the rest for '/home'
Birliban: Without the user being able to read other locations, the user will not be able to run programs
So ActionParsnip, did that just reinstall the nvidia-current driver then?
Birliban: that is default
ActionParsnip, ok thanks,
BTW its working, thanks! :) shower this mans reddit account with karma.
TJ-, in detail I just want to give this user an remote svn repo where only he is storing his code
tokinwhiteman: not something I use, but no problem dude :)
Birliban: Then, as ActionParsnip said, the defaults are basically fine *but* you should consider setting a restricted shell for that user that only allows use of the svn tools
TJ-, ok, and how to do this?
TJ-, but, when i log in as this user, i can read e.g. /etc/crontab
Birliban: See the package !rssh
Has ubottu got anmesia?
Birliban: See http://packages.ubuntu.com/precise/rssh
it works when you use it correctly ;)
tsimpson: hahaha of course! On my own supybot it has dispensed with requiring "info"
ok, thanks @all
Birliban: if you want to properly lock folks down then remove access for the 'all' group, then ONLY the owner has acess
ActionParsnip, ok, will try this
hi everybody. How do you check which application or process is using the disk (and what partition it uses)? I need to identify some disk "overuse". I would love to do it using CLI.
ct529: lsof   can show open files, if you grep for the mount point you can see what files are open on which partition (if that helps)
ct529: iotop?
ActionParsnip: I have tried using lsof .... how would you use it to identify a specific process working on a disk or a partition?
ct529: is there an iotop ?
gordonjcp: don't know about that .... :-) .... wait, I am reading man
gordonjcp: ActionParsnip: I am intalling it now, will be back in a sec
gordonjcp: ActionParsnip: seems interesting, thanks, I am trying to do accumulated monitoring, let's see what is wrong with it.
 /j #tkkrlab
:-D
te
st
hello all
gordonjcp: ActionParsnip: iotop seems very useful .... do not know whether there is something equivalent that I can use at boot time?
bootchart? i recall is handy.
Hello :)
If support for my Ubuntu version has ended, will updating my sources.list file solve the problem?
you upgrade to a newer release
that may involve altering  the sources.list and more.
Thanks
With apt-pinning, will this work: http://paste2.org/p/2467564 ? Ignore the Debian part, I'm just asking if the syntax is correct.
ct529: bootchart maybe?
gordonjcp: I have tried that, but I cannot make sense of the output ....
gordonjcp: I cannot identify the problem .... 2m at startup + overuse of the disk ar equite limiting
Ehm. Do I need to use gnome-keyring to use svn via ssh? I get something in the lines of "could not connect to /run/users/myname/keyring-randomletters/blah" when running svn checkout https://blah/blah --username myname, and no password prompt shows up
ct529: how much memory have you got?
8GB
wow
ct529: it's likely not swapping then
wow? bah - even cellphones got 8gb o-ram these days. ;)
blackshirt: wow what?
gordonjcp: no, it is not the swap
gordonjcp: it seems to be the btfrs file system that is taking next to forever
hmm. havent heard much about btrfs lately. ;)
ct529: What version of Ubuntu are you using?
Jordan_U: 12.04
Jordan_U: 64bit
ct529: btrfs does suck for that
gordonjcp: what do you mean?
ct529: If you are using btrgs, you should be using the latest stable (or even rc) kernel.
Jordan_U: why? I have the latest stable kernel for 12.04
you can enable verbose  logging also i recall via  somthing like 'noquiet nosplash text verbose'
ct529: Because btrfs is still under heavy development (and is still experimental).
in the grub configs. that may show if somthing like networking or other services aer hanging. but i think it may be  btrfs at fault.
ct529: Normally we recommend using the kernel shipped with Ubuntu, but for btrfs you really should be running the latest code (and for that and other reasons we don't yet recommend btrfs for machines you depend on).
ct529: You can get a 3.7 rc5 kernel from http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.7-rc5-raring/ , though that's built for raring rather than precise which might cause problems.
Jordan_U: I will not take the risk, if you do not mind.
Jordan_U: I'd rathr re compile myself.
ct529: That's fine.
ct529: But be sure to stay up to date.
gordonjcp: do you know of existing problems of that kind with btrfs? I could move to zfs ....

Well, wrong aside from installing Adobe Air on GNU/Linux.
guys, I really REALLY need help. I was upgrading my 8.04 to 10.04 and right after it finished >Getting new packages, it gave me an error which more or less said that a file couldn't be installed or upgraded (I read amarok in there) and that the upgrade would still continue, so I pressed said ok. Right after that I got this
Could not install the upgrades
The upgrade is now aborted. Your system could be in an unusable state. A recovery will run now (dpkg --configure -a). Please report this bug against the 'update-manager' package and include the files in /var/log/dist-upgrade/ in the bug report.
paulsomebody, try without the sh
Flyzoola: and then?
and then I get a list, which has this

Flyzoola: do you have a laptop perhaps?  Or some keyboard with a strange f-key layout
FlyOnZeWall: is a lower corner on the screen? You can drag that up and make it smaller
Flyzoola: which keys did you press exactly?
jrib: I can count at least fourty :Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (100), I pressed ctrl+alt+f1 and then +f7.
shojo, the lower corner is past the lower taskbar, I literally cannot make it smaller or bigger
nice shortcuts...works on my sys
Flyzoola: tried the synaptic package fix command list?
yeah Ctrl+Alt+F7 made my black screen disappear, the one i got pressing Ctrl+Alt+F1
Flyzoola: press ONLY ctrl-alt-f1
ActionParsnip, I don't know what that is. I'm going to take a picture of the screen with my phone and show you guys

jrib, no I can't close the error window, it has no close click on the top corner and I can't "ok" the error, because it's waaaay down there
Flyzoola: try to tab to the button and then hit enter or space, or alt-f4

hi
hello,
I need your help
I'm making a project, a video with some videos in the world
Everything is explained in this site  http://www.whyrem.com/
paulsomebody: ok.  Then you want to use chown -R
jrib, I'm gonna try to re-install it. It says upgrade complete "but there were errors during the upgrade process"
I'm sorry, reboot it*, not re-install
paulsomebody: Nautilus behaviour in that case makes sense if you understand the way permissions work
paulsomebody: It's not a bug
Touhou11: I used to think that I understood that.
Flyzoola: well, come back on another computer if it fails to boot
I think I still do.
I'll see if there's an irc app for my phone worse come the worst. Thanks everyone.
Flyzoola: did you try the command list I gave?
YokoBR: which ATi GPU do you have?
ActionParsnip: he said he couldn't open a terminal
jrib: can boot to root recovery?
ActionParsnip: I guess he'll find out now :P
FlyOnZeWall: : can boot to root recovery?
jrib: seems to have gone
FlyOnZeWall: sorry, wrong target
jrib: Thank you for the help, it worked splendidly. I just don't get this sarcastic "if you understand how permissions work" on the part of Touhou11. How typing in CLI 'sudo chown somebody /home/somebody/.ynab -R' is different from the pressing before mentioned button in the Nautilus ran with root privileges when in ~/.ynab'?
Hey. I found a problem with the "live-cd" and I don't know against which package I should report it. Is there a channel where I could discuss this bug with someone (it is a bit more complicated).

ActionParsnip, i also saw this http://www.unixmen.com/ubuntu-12-10-and-amd-catalyst-problem-solved/
jrib: Perhaps someone wanted to have this "I am mystic condescending Linux guru" feeling just before leaving the channel to avoid further questions.

alinmear, hmm... /etc/motd (?)
alinmear _like a MOTD or what
Hi, I need some linux based free opensource software for Cargo System that support multiple terminals, Any Idea??
can anyone help me out with hotlinking protection?  I have literally gone through 50 diff guides for mod_rewrite.  I even tried a python script but it just denies access to everything.  running ubuntu server with apache
If this is not the appropriate channel for asking this kind of question. So please rediect me to the right place. Thanks.

Alinmear if you explain more detail, I may be able to customize my reply to your question
Jrib, I tried the 5 versions and all give me kernel panic - not syncing: attempted to kill innit
alinmear, did you mean a bashrc like script perhaps?
Flyzoola: boot a live cd
Flyzoola: and to be clear, you tried *recovery mode*, correct?
anyone have UDP DDOS script for linux ?
?
i want to open a terminal (urxvt) and  when the terminal spawns the should be some kind of text befor you can type some command
I think I might be acr
YokoBR: yeah if you have a 2xxx to 4xxx GPU then you'll need the older driver
similar to the archbang behaviour
their you can open a terminal and the archlinux logo with some cpu specs pops up
ActionParsnip, but what about the hd 6310?
alinmear, what shell are you using?
sarthor whats your Q.
i am using the bash shell at the moment
YokoBR: you can use the normal fglrx in the repos with that, the driver with the XOrg version in 12.10 causes issues
ok, edit ~/.bashrc and add at the end something like echo This is my cool text
alinmear: what is the output of:  lsb_release -sc
Jrib I think im Screwed, I tried recovery mode, got that message. My cd srive doeant work and my pc doeant boot through usb..
My qt apps have huge scrollbars in Xfce: http://gyazo.com/822fb37274c312d9121a774dd575fd7f How can I get a more uniform look?
FlyOnZeWall: can you boot to root recovery mode?
ActionParsnip, okay, i'll try that, thanks
yep its motd...the howtogeek.com link is nice for you Alinmear
what piece of software I can use for Cargo business? Cybw0tee
ActionParsnip, I dont know how to do that.
Flyzoola: hold SHIFT at boot, select recovery mode, select root
Flyzoola: its all text so ANY video setup can show it :)
Flyzoola: run the commands in the link I gave
im using UbuntuStudio 12.10. How do i not encrypt my home directory.
ActionParsnip, I need the link or ideally the command, as I'm on my phone and this is very hard
yote, try truecrypt
Flyzoola: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PackageManagerTroubleshootingProcedure step 5
hello all, just to verify if i use fsck without any options, it checks all drives correct? if not how would i go about checking 20 drives without having to go 1 by one? its a remote server that i only have ssh and ftp access to
it will check every entry from /etc/fstab
now i can answer my question on my own! first the bashrc open a script called archbey in /usr/bin thats it
thx for help
@cookie thanks thats what i needed, so a simple shutdown -F -r should check them all on boot right?
btw
I have 2 admin accounts but only one of the accounts can see the other partitions on the OS drive or the second harddrive I've installed.  I've started nautilus as root and tried changing the permissions of the volumes but they don't stay changed.
@cookie awesome, i wanted to be sure before i screwed up the server and lost 8tb of crap lol
Actionparsnip, it says "error 27" unrecognized command
Flyzoola: at what point?
Sudo grep -R proxy /etc/apt/* (first command)
Flyzoola: that's fine, its just for innformation. Keep going
there really isn't a single nice irc client on linux, is there :/
irssi
yes there is, and it's better inside gnu screen
irssi
cnf, irssi, xchat, there's quite a few others.
cnf: pidgin or irssi imho
TheLordOfTime: i said nice
cnf: define 'nice'
cnf, nice is a relative term.
I find my irssi very nice
and screen isn't nice
no two people have the same opinion on 'nice'
best
screen is nice, except for nethack
cnf, is there any nice app for Linux? :)
irssi is functional, not nice :P
cnf: pidgin uses the desktp theme
Actionparsnip, same with second step. I replaced sudo for root and got unrecognized device string
cnf, your only option is to move to OS X
Kaco: not a whole lot, no...
lol
hai guys , I want to solve this problem , the problem is I want to install a app from source when I tried to install that app it say that it need valac-0.16 but when I tried to install valac from terminal it is only installing valac-0.14 older version. Then I try to download the new version of valac-0.16 and try to install it , but it show the dependency is not satisfied  , but it is killing me when i install the next dependency they say it need another depende
ncy it is going like a loop so my question is , how can I install new version of a app that not in repo and including all dependency
Flyzoola: root isn't a command
Kaco: at home, i have osx, at work i'm stuck with linux
Flyzoola: you can simply omit sudo and it will run
Oh man that sucks
cnf that's pretty bad :) ... bring your iPad to work :-D
Kaco: haha, i do!
it's right next to me
cookie1980 thanks again, that got it.
cnf, so why you no IRC on iPad? :)
http://www.andchat.net/
oh wait. that's android. nvm
Kaco: i do, just not all the time
The commands don't work. I was using unu 8.04
anyway, zfs meeting, brb
ActionParsnip, fglrx didn't gave me 3D also :(
Ub untu 8.04
ero-jiji, you're welcome
cnf: http://static.dossy.org/images/2007/08/pidgin-irc-chat-before-patch.png   is how I roll IRC
jrib, I mean that I change all my repositories from an LTS release to a regular release, and then update my system
Looks like im screwed
how do you change the close minimize and maximize from the left top corner to the right top corner? it makes me angry
MrMagic954: what is the output of:  lsb_release -sc
Actionparsnip anything else I can do? :(
MrMagic954: if you are using Unity, it makes sense to have ity on the left
ActionParsnip, says precise but isn't there like a setting that you just change?  i
Flyzoola: run each command but drop the word sudo from each command, that's all you have to do. ONe command will take a long time
MrMagic954: yes, its just a setting
do I need to change the permissions on a volume so that others logging on to the computer can see and mount them?
MrMagic954: http://askubuntu.com/questions/124015/window-controls-moved-to-right-hand-side
ActionParsnip, fond it polesmoker
actionparsnip, every command I use says its incorrect
tbjr: add the option:  user   in the entry you have for it in /etc/fstab
ActionParsnip, trying to make me run cli commands dude heh
Flyzoola: you must type it EXACTLY as given, with the spaces and so forth
Flyzoola: dop you have web access in the root recovery console (try and ping 8.8.8.8)?
ActionParsnip, otherwise it will only show up for the original admin account?
MrMagic954: there are many ways, the GUIs are just pretty GUIs to CLI, so why not
ActionParsnip, one moment and I'll explain
tbjr: no, they will only be mountable by those that can use sudo
MrMagic954: http://www.techrepublic.com/blog/itdojo/ubuntu-1204-tweaks-re-enable-hibernate-move-the-window-buttons-more/3326
MrMagic954: http://www.techsupportalert.com/content/tips-and-tricks-ubuntu-after-installation-ubuntu-1204.htm
ActionParsnip, It's not listed in the fstab but all volumes are automatically mounted in my (original) account
ActionParsnip, what was the purpose of the first command you had me run? the solution seems to not depend on it
mounted on first access you mean.
Actionparsnip, I have grub 1.5 those commands aren't working for me
tbjr: then you will need to define it in /etc/fstab if you want to use specific mount options
dr_willis, yes
MrMagic954: i haven't given a command, I gave URLs
ActionParsnip, here is how the question should have gone "How do you change the buttons from left top corner to right?" "gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.wm.preferences button-layout ':minimize,maximize,close'"
MrMagic954: run that in a terminal and it should do it
ActionParsnip, lsb-release -sc? heck is that for?
hi
MrMagic954: tells you the release name you are using
ActionParsnip, ok I have a path to research now.  Thank you.
ActionParsnip, you are a DN...and that rhymes with thumb trigger
if you want total control controll of mounting you want to use the fstab.
MrMagic954: I don't support or talk to racists, grow up and get an education please
dr_willis, Thank you
ActionParsnip, ok bone-in-the-nose-jig
hi...
when I remove a drive thats mounted in fstab, the boot halts and waits until I press S to continue the boot. Any way to automat that, so it continues the boot on its own?
compdoc, not put the drive in fstab?
compdoc: remove the entry from fstab
compdoc: add the option:  noauto   you can add the command to mount the partition in /etc/rc.local and you should be ok
if a drive fails and a server reboots, having it hang there forever isnt a good idea
how to convert dynamic to basic hd
Mr_Magic - http://ubuntu-tweak.com/
Hi, is it possible to install both 32-bit and 64-bit versions of a library?
gastly, if you have a 64bit system, you should be able to do apt-get install libpackagename libpackagename:i386
TheLordOfTime, I'm having a problem with libncurses5-dev, I need both 32-bit and 64-bit versions of it but they both conflict
gastly: newer ubuntu releases are multiarch, so yes
AcidRain2012, If I install libncurses5-dev and libncurses5-dev:i386 there's a conflict between the two :
Anyone know of some good terminal system monitors?

Hellier, do you have a support question?
Hello I know this will sound silly but I have an nvidia gfx card and I would like to know if the recently improved drivers will work for me.. problem is I don't really know what card I have and I am not sure whether or not I should trust lspci..
Paddy_NI: which nvidia gpu do you have?
ActionParsnip, I'm not really sure
Paddy_NI: lspci | grep -i vga   will tell you
ActionParsnip, NVIDIA Corporation G73 [GeForce 7600 GS] (rev a1)
ActionParsnip, this announcement "http://nvidianews.nvidia.com/Releases/NVIDIA-Delivers-Massive-Performance-Boost-to-Linux-Gaming-8ac.aspx" just seems to point to the downloads page... I am not sure which linux driver I am to download :-(
Paddy_NI: I think its 8xxx and higher if memory serves
The download page is very confusing especially when I am not really sure which I need
Hi, I've downloaded the .iso image for ubuntu 12.10, and I want to make a bootable usb stick, however, I am currently running an old version of Debian, is there somewhere I can download the "startup disk creator" app from? Alterantively are there instructions somewhere on how I can make a startup disk using command line tools? Thanks.
Paddy_NI: let me check the page
Paddy_NI: 32 or 64 bit?
64 bit
I think I got it
magesing: you can just dd the iso to the stick
I chose "geforce 7 series"
Paddy_NI: http://www.nvidia.com/content/DriverDownload-March2009/confirmation.php?url=/XFree86/Linux-x86_64/304.64/NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-304.64.run&lang=us&type=GeForce
magesing:  the pendrive linux site has tools also for that task
Erik_D, Awesome that is the one I grabbed :-)
Paddy_NI: cool. Good luck, those installers almost never work perfectly first time :P
the xswat ppa may have updatedc versiona in their repos
magesing: dd if=/location/of/isofile.iso of=/dev/whatever_your_usb_is
i thought there was older 310 experimental drivers in the addational-drivers tool
Erik_D, :-)
those may get updated sometime soon.
dr_willis, Huh.. are you telling me I can get this driver via ppa?
Probably, actually
it's from '09
so they've probably made their way in to repos
Erik_D: Thanks
Paddy_NI:  xswat, or addational-drivers MAY hav it. :) iver not looked
hello, i'm trying to write a script w/ bash that kills a process if hits a threshold of CPU use. Could somebody help me?
Paddy_NI: I'm not sure what version is there though
why do i have 2 swap drives...does ubuntu use 2?
sere84:  you could have a dozen
if the swap partions are setup in fstab. it would use them both
okay well I shall return to this once I put a wash on and make some tea :-)
andrea_: sounds like a usecase for something like monit/bluepill/god
dr_willis, i thin the question is why're there two swap partitions
geekbri: does bluepill have smth to do with virtualization?
i think output of 'sudo fdisk -l' would be handy
Erik_D: Do I need to do any special partitioning or formatting of the usb key before I dd the iso image over?
andrea_: nah, its just a piece of software written in ruby that ensures a process is running and can also do process and memory checks on it.
magesing:  dd will totally erase the usb. so no
dr_willis: thanks
^what he said
she?
^what they said
magesing:  using a large usb is overkill also. i think a 2 gb is big ennough for the 12.10 iso
1 gb - im not sure
1 gb should be
I believe the iso is 800 mb
i dont evn own a 1gb any more. ;)
can anyone tell me why ubuntu never utilizes its swap memory? lol
i mean it never goes over 1GB of ram either.
vril: it does.
vril  its well written ;)
i dont see it though, in system monitor
If you are are doing ram intensive stuff
yeah i know how to do that Erik_D
but im referring to the swap memory itself
even when ive used up most of my ram, it doesnt show an increase in swap memory
i feel as if the swap partition is just there for decoration lol
Why would you use swap when you have more ram to use?
im accustomed to using a swap partition with any linux distro, from back in the day
vril, I was under the impression, {mistaken?}, that swap was primarily used for hibernate/sleep types of modes, not sure though..
im not asking to use it, im simply asking why does it keep showing up on 0bytes used for swap
possibly Sidewinder; i did just leave my computer on all night
Sidewinder, i was always under the impression that the swap partition was there to allow the OS to operate faster via virtual memory
no
swap is used for both.
the hibernate stuff is relatively new use for swap
not that im a fan of such things, Simon Cray once said "would you rather be pulled by 2 oxens or 128 chickens", in reference to virtual memory
lol
it's more like "I need the memory for right now and I can go buy more ram later"
128 chickens will feed you better.  for longer...
thanks dr_willis
vril: https://www.linux.com/news/software/applications/8208-all-about-linux-swap-space/
im talking about being pulled
like on a carriage
its in reference to workload
dr_willis, Interesting; I wasn't aware of that; thanks, once again, for your time and intuition. :)
128 chickens will just run around everywhere
lol
so it 'depends on the task/kind of work'
im sure its serves its purpose, ive just never seen it really being utilized
swap isn't all that slow, but it's typically memory that's not used often that get swapped out (iirc)
i dont evn see swap used on my 8gb ram system.
You shouldn't
just daily web/video/chat box
now lets not start arguening about swap at the start or end of the hard drive layout.     ;)   seen heated debates on that also
it always comes up.
good old days.
Is the repositories up in ubuntu unable to do a update
Gnome3man:  worked for me about an hr ago
dr_willis: will reboot computer might just be my wifi connection
later
:)
if you're having a problem with updating you can always switch servers temporarily in synaptic
but...err.. irc is working? ;)
us servers seem to be up for me.
the US ones ive never had a problem with
okay so swap serves an actual good purpose
thanks for the insight guys
was just curious about it, i mean i knew what its meant for but not the whole thing
Everyday I'm learning something new about Linux
:D
yeah
i need to build a server to run Fedora more efficiently
My current system is set up on a software raid-1 array with seperate / and /home directories. When I run the installer for ubuntu 12.10, will it recognize my software RAID, or will I have to do some extra steps?
the more you learn. the more you learn you have more to learn......
I removed my DE while I was in it, not good
back!
software raid-1?
vril: yes
vril: the mirrored raid, not the striping kind
DarkSim  ctrl-alt-F1, reinstall it or another DE
vril: mdadm
Can /etc/apt/sources.list be used to  change all my repositories from an LTS release to a regular release, and then update my system
Okay this nvidia driver installer is complaining that X is running.. How do I stop my xserver ?
magesing i think you have to do some command
yeah
you're doing it right with mdadm
sudo service gdm stop
makes sense
to stop gdm
antithesis: it can, be sure to have a backup and be prepared that this might not work as you like
ActionParsnip, got some kind of 3D accel. with mesa drivers.. open source drivers, right?
vril, ah yes of course thanks you
thx
i just googled that Paddy_NI
lol
but it does make sense to stop gdm
thats gnome :|
yeah i like redhat compatible distributions more than debian-based ones but im more familiar with ubuntu than anything else
i need to get a box for learning redhat seperately as part of a network environment
since i primarily like using ubuntu as a PC OS
i likes both of them
fedora runs kind of slow on this machine in comparison to ubuntu
vril, or, virtualmachine it :P
actually, not really
i blame Gnome 3
because im actually using backtrack5 with the ubuntu kernel lol
nah, a vm wouldnt suffice
i had them dualbooted
but i want to start up some servers
you're aware BT5 isnt on topic in this channel?
fedora is very secure
no, i wasnt? why?
its a ubuntu-based distro, why would it be 'offtopic'
i'm trying to figure out whether you're just talking or actually have a point
"based"
im not asking for support on it
vril, then what're you asking for?
* TheLordOfTime has no backlogs, and deems your test offtopic, like llutz does.
hi all. i have a silly question. How do i access a network drive on another linux machine, from my linux machine?
what is zeitweis services ?
i only use bt5 because its pretty much the only ubuntu out there with Gnome 2 as the GUI
I want to image my netbook's hard drive to a file on an external drive. However the file should be encrypted. I should be able to decrypt and access the file on other computers if the netbook dies.
Gnome 3 is a pain ;/
hi all.
is there anyway to get the nose generator to generate seperate tests? it's just lumping all the yields into one test for me so I can't see the specifics!
Preferably, I want a mountable img file inside a truecrypt volume
zeitgeist ...sorry
is that really needed in desktop install ?
make a backup and use truecrypt to encrypt the file
:)
i personally just encrypt a whole partition
with truecrypt
im not really hiding anything
hello
hello everyone
kluejay: if you're going to encrypt, make sure you do a full backup every day
hello tns
kluejay: if the netbook dies, it will be the hard drive that dies first
Am i true channel for developers ?
grr I had stopped my xserver "sudo service gdm stop" then I cd to my Downloads folder then "sudo sh ./NVIDIA-Linux-x86-304.64.run" and nothing happens it just hops to a new line awaiting input again ":~/Downloads$"
tns, i don't think so
tns, this channel was not for developer :d
i need to communicate with ubuntu developers but
gordonjcp: The netbook, filesystem is mostly unencrypted.  I want to weekly save an encrypted image of it.
kluejay: oh, okay
i donno how to reach
paddy
tns, ubuntu-devel
kluejay: dd it off, encrypt the resulting file?
Some time back, i enabled on screen keyboard. It appears everytime i bootup and appears when i lock the screen. How do i turn off on screen keyboard permanently ?
Paddy_NI, dont you just need to put in ./File.run
instead of all that other stuff in the front
gordonjcp: Ok, but how should I mount the dd image after wards. There are 3 partitions on the disk?
is there anyway to have nose generators work properly inside a unittest class?
vril, I tried that.. it fails
chmod?
chmod 077
hmm
Tns, either the developers mailing list or /join #ubuntu-devel
Paddy_NI, is it executable?
gordonjcp: Also I would prefer an rsync kind of update as that would be faster.
tbh the whole encryption thing in the installer is a bad idea
if he chmod's it it should be executable
InspectorCluseau, Ah silly me
I've never seen quite so many people really keen to lose all their data
doh!
gordonjcp, it depends on how sensitive the information is
and ive decrypted my drive successfully with no problems
BluesKaj, Good mornin', to you, sir. :)
there's a mere chance of things fumbling for you for encrypting
good night here :d
but the best way to go about it is, dont encrypt a hard drive
encrypt the files
'Morning Sidewinder . How's things ?
Hi, I used dd to initialize a usb key with the latest ubuntu desktop iso image. I can mount the key and browse the files, however, the usb key is not bootable after the dd... do I need to install a bootloader on it or something?
BluesKaj, Very fine, thank you. And you?
vril: right but if your drive ever begins to go bad, that data is unrecoverable
magesing, you used unetbootin?
gordonjcp: The netbook is always with me and has a hardware password on its HDD. The external backup will be in my house which is kind of an abusive and difficult environment. Since I don't want evidence etc to be read the backup needs to be encrypted.
gordonjcp, thats why i keep a bunch of thumb drives and CF cards lol
vril: what is unetbootin?
BluesKaj, Are you busy now? Would you mind a PM?
doing fine as well , Sidewinder
unetbootin is to boot up from usb for linux
you can also use it with any other kind of ISO
Sidewinder, sure
Thanx..
vril: I'm  running a old version of debian, so I don't have the fancy ubuntu utility yet
Hey I'm trying to burn a collection of mp3 files onto a 700MB CD-R. I used Braser to create an "Audio Project" it created the ISO file which ended up being 800MB (100MB too large for the disk). I'm wondering if anyone knows away to shrink the ISO using Brasero or some other "burning" program?
gordonjcp: So, its like the netbook is my only computer and its always with me. It contains lots of information that will be indispensable in the future, and should not be accessed by others. Thus I want an encrypted backup on external drive.
FireStorms, if its an 800MB ISO, then you're trying to put too many files onto the disk at once.
oh i see magesing you can still get unetbootin online
it doesnt come with ubuntu regularly
you need to do a sudo apt-get install unetbootin
.
TheLordOfTime, yes, it looks like it's going to be trial and error then which is a shame because I have a lot to do.
vril:  I'll give that a shot, thanks
or compile it yourself :|
no problem
I don't know if anyone has used Devede but it has an option to adjest the disk size but brasero does not
magesing: simply "cat foo.iso >/dev/sdX"
hi
am using kubuntu
having problem connecting to net
i have a tp-link router and usb adapter
hardeep: Is it usb dongle 3g/2g connection ?
though the signal strenght is full it still doesn't connect
can anybody help me
hardeep: I asked something, look above
its a usb wifi adapter
it is not connecting to the home router
its a wifi adapter
it is TL-WN723N
though it is connecting to my phone via Wi fi
Do gnome3 and Unity have the same resolution restrictions based on the hardware? i.e. gnome3 completely fails with total resolution in excess of 2048 pixels, but gnome classic is fine
deve
vril: unetbootin is doing it's thing, thanks for pointing me to it
gordonjcp: When I image the drive should I dd sda1 sda2 sda4 ... or dd sda
gordonjcp: And how should I mount the resulting image?
antithesis: editing sources.list is not a supported way to upgrade.  See ubottu
I wonder how long it would take to run an internet-wide port scan
janet: Depends if you include IPv6 addresses
Thanks jrib. Though I actually asked that to get an understanding of sources.list and aptitude
Hi, my ubuntu stops at boot time after the logo with the dots below... but when i rstart and choose recovery menu, then choose resume boot, it works... but with lower resolution... anyone?
gugurang: Do your system log files/dmesg etc. suggest any issues?
antithesis: ok.  In the past (and in debian) that's the way to upgrade.  But update-manager does some extra checking to make sure the update runs smoother
If i have 2 users who ftp in and upload files, all files were originally owned by root(which has been disabled) so now there is UserA, UserB. The way to allow them to upload files has been to do: chown usera:usera file and they can then upload, but the problem exists because userB can then not upload. Is there a way to allow both users to do it, is it a case of setting up a group?
AdvoWork: sounds like you'd want to setup a group
hi
anyone encounter the connection problem on TP LInk Modem ?
i do. i am not sure it is about TP Link though. I forwarded 8001 port, so here I am.
so you must forward the port to be about to connect ?
it's modem firmware config or you just config in your linux ?
type your gateway address at your browser. most probably 192.168.1.1
it doesn't matter, I just can't make it work anyway :|
forwarding tab on the left panel then virtual servers. that's what i did.
just if you can say preciously what I can do
:-?
ok
wonder if you tried your android device ?
I see that unix based os don't have this problem
the thing is i am on ubuntu. at home i didn't have this connection problem, but today with tplink i couldnt connect at work
I wonder how long it would take to run an internet-wide port scan
okay one question about ubuntu
how do i get gnome 2 back (not MATE)
from a new install
i know i can use the 10.04 cd
then keep updating
ez install gnome 2
hello, i got a question
how to I login GUI mode from terminal =.="
startx
type in startx
oh from terminal or cli?
wew
pfft
for all that trouble i just install 10.04 or run xubuntu
LoL... ubuntu at least should hint the user to use that command :(
I haven't been here for years
yeah, definitely agree with you Gmind
if in lubuntu, I click Create new wiseless network, and I connect another laptop to mine, how can I then transfer anything between these two laptops?
but i knew that command ever since slackware 7 was out
after configuring X.org
took me about a month to get it running properly, as a naive kid
tbh
i remember befor there was a xorg
I mounted a disk but all the files have a filesize of 0.
blup1, You might want to take a look at FTP
well my first distro was slackware 7
i bought it, at best buy
Gmind: why would it, and why on earth are you starting a GUI with startx?
WDKevin:  what filesystem?
dr_willis, ext4
gordonjcp, now why are you asking me @.@
WDKevin:  hmm. try making a file on it? perhaps needs a fscking
Gmind, you're an old user that came back to ubuntu too?
lol
Gmind: because you asked a couple of minutes ago about starting a GUI from the command line?
dr_willis, the test file worked
hi, is someone here who can compile glade files, so I can quickly have a look at it how it appears without having any function?
gordonjcp, no, I've just asked.
WDKevin:  so all the files truely are empty? or just reporting the sizes wrong?
Guest99277: open it in glade
Gmind: you shouldn't need to use startx
and VMWare Player suck at installing Ubuntu 12
dr_willis, they are reporting a file size of 0 but they were not empty when they were uploaded
the server was shut down over the weekend and the drive was not automounted when icame in today
i added a line to fstab to do that but i may have gotten the params wrong
is it possible that gd2 watermark doesn't work on Ubuntu?
its unusual to 'automount' via nautilus  a ext/3/4 as a user. fstab is the normal way to do it
dr_willis, im doing it through fstab
gordonjcp, in the actual version of glade it does not look like a windowed application, there is just the main content of the window in a different context than usually.
gordonjcp, and there is no run or compile function in glade
jrib, so just make a group "webusers" and add the userA an userB to them? and then chown webuser:webuser or chown usera:webuser?
dr_willis, in my fstab, should i just be using defaults?
why is there a Unity Desktop, when Ubuntu just could customly update gnome, which was much better? unity is useless
blup1: use what you like
jrib, ive added a group, added the 2 users to it, but what should I chown as now? chown groupname:groupname or chown usera:groupname (but can userB still use it then?)
AdvoWork: chgrp
yes, but I mean, why to make such an effort to programm unity, when most users doesnt like to use it anyway?
hello guys... is there any places where i can get used books at low cost?
blup1: how do you know most users don't like it :)
online
I suppose
jrib, but why do i need to do that?
AdvoWork: chgrp will change only the group which is what I assume you want to do
ahh so change the group that the file belongs to?
AdvoWork: sure, I guess the file is some directory?
yeah, to be fair once ive got it working, theres lots of files and directories
AdvoWork: if you just want to give multiple users the ability to write files inside a directory, give the directory group write permissions and then chgrp the directory to whatever you want.  You probably also want to use the sticky bit.
My drive is now mounting when the server is rebooted but it still reports every file as having no file size.
Hi all, I created a software based array of disks (4x3TB) using mdadm RAID 5. I then used mkfs.ext4 to partition with the following parameters:  -b 4096 -E stride=128,stripe-width=384... Now that the array is mounted, when I transfer files to it the md5sum of the files changes with respect to the original.... Any ideas as to why this is happening?
I'm able to create new files just fine, but the existing ones all report 0.
Hey guys, I need to update my version of numpy from 1.5.1 to 1.6, but im running ubuntu 11.04 so its not in the package mangements, whats the best way to do so? I heard pip was a bad idea with numpy? Should I remove from apt-get and install via source?
I have a serious problem, when I boot it says that it cannot find "/tmp" I have to skip mounting it to continue any ideas on how to fix this?
jrib: Okay yeah, it will be updated eventually, but thats not an option right now
alansaul_: ok
jrib, basically ive added userA and userB to the group developers. I've then done chgrp developers myfile.txt  (its still owned by root though). I've then as userA tried to upload the file, which has failed, but surely that should work as userA is part of the developers group?
AdvoWork: you want them to be able to overwrite each other's version of the file?
lonewulf85: check your /etc/fstab, do you have /tmp on an own partition? if not, sudo mkdir /tmp && sudo chmod 1777 /tmp
advowork, maybe you want use acl for more control
llutz: I will give this a try thanks.
llutz: when I run the command I get this "mkdir: cannot create directory `/tmp': File exists"
AdvoWork: anyway, the relevant permissions are the ones on the parent directory unless you use sticky bit
genshu, you'll need GtkBuilder to actually make the windowed app
lonewulf85: sudo chown root:root /tmp && sudo chmod 1777 /tmp
jrib, yeah i want userA/userB to be able to modify their files(or anything with the group developers), could you please define sticky bit(sorry? )
AdvoWork: then just change the group write permmissions on the parent directory (and chgrp the parent directory)
My drive is now mounting when the server is rebooted but it still reports every file as having no file size. The files definetely had sizes and were just fine before the server went down and the disk was unmounted. Is it possible my mount parameters are causing this?
jrib, so: chmod g+w /var/www/whatever ?  and then chgrp developers /var/www/whatever ? in that order too?
AdvoWork: sure
WDKevin: All the files are on the server correct?
They are virtual machines. The drive I am trying to mount is a seperate virtual drive.
It's ext4, and it's worked fine until just this weekend when it was rebooted and not automounted.
WDKevin: Then the lack of automation is what might have caused it. Can you access the files right now?
Lonewlf, no I cannot
I can see the directory listing, but all files have a filesize of 0.
Hey, I've just installed ubuntu 12.10 but I'm not able to run a user created script... e.g. I create a file #!/bin/bash echo "Hello" then chmod +x and then ./foo.sh but I get bash: ./foo.sh: Permission denied any idea? thanks!
th30z, check ownership on the file
th30z, does your user own the file :P
TheLordOfTime: yes, file just created.. my user, my group, +x, same also with chmod 777
th30z: paste the output of: ls -l /path/to/your/script
and pastebin the contents of your script as well
just in case that's at fault :P
WDKevin: You might need to re automatize the mounting of the files, then reboot and see if you can get them back to the way the were.
114.249.224.77 needs a firewall
TheLordOfTime: is not a permission issue http://pastebin.com/Uq8mSWye
Lonewlf, thats what im trying to do now
th30z, so pastebin your entire script, you may have written something wrong in it which is causing the break.
WDKevin: Oh okay.
Lonewlf, It's just everytime the machine comes back up I just get a list of 0byte files
AdvoWork: do note that if you want to let people edit the files, then they need write permissions on the files.  Also, if you want this to apply to subdirectories, then you'd need to change the permissions of subdirectories.  It really depends on what exactly your goal is as to whether or not this is a suitable solution.  If it's not, and you need more control then ACLs as blackshirt said is the way to go
(you can set a default ACL)
WDKevin: whats your fstab-line for that filesystem?
llutz, UUID=7eddd68f-ed4b-460e-bc11-0a3f890b1cdc /var/www/images ext4 rw,suid,dev,exec,auto,async 0   1
TheLordOfTime: is not a script issue, same with other code... python, C and so on... and other /run downloaded http://pastebin.com/F4zktmNU
th30z, also, quick quesiton,l is this on your system or on say a free shell or something
(some shell hosts restrict running things)
TheLordOfTime:  is just type ext4 (rw,noatime,errors=remount-ro)
jrib, ^
th30z, remember, i'm not hte only one asking you questions.
TheLordOfTime: no on the system
th30z, that wasnt my question...
th30z: use a pastebin
th30z, is this your system, or a free shell?  i dindt ask the partition type
nor the filesystem
TheLordOfTime: sorry was for jrib, is my system
WDKevin: "rw,suid,dev,exec,auto,async" = defaults. "ls -ld  /var/www/images"
llutz, defaults also includes nouser
WDKevin: and? if you use "auto" the user-option would be obsolete anyways
ah
TheLordOfTime, Good mornin'; would you mind a PM?
i appologize
jrib: http://pastebin.com/7gajRgua
llutz, running the command you gave, before mount it shows root:root as owner, afterwards its my user
I'm using lubuntu 12.10, and I'm trying to find the synclient.conf file so I can permanently enable horizontal edge scrolling.  Does anyone know where/how I can find this file?
WDKevin: and who should own the files?
www-data owns the files in the directory
lappy_: see if that wiki page is updated
PLEASE HELP: Just ran the updates on 12.10 and I can't login now after restart. I just get a blank background
Hey fellas, what's the safest way to install Ubuntu 12.(10/04) for dual-boot with Windows 7 x64? I know the method, but I wouldn't want to lose 700GB of data (nor backup)
Ok, thank you guys!
designbybeck_: see if happens with a new user
i have a problem with indicators in Xubuntu 12.10..it doesn't work
Seems this might have been a problem with NVIDIA at one time as well
jrib: i get the same results as guest
designbybeck_, Press ALT+F1 at start, log in, then when console is initialized, type in startx for starters
designbybeck_: see if happens with a new user
i can't get in to do anything to make a new user jrib
jCuber: i don't get unity at all
just a background
designbybeck_: ctrl-alt-f1 should get you a tty
Sidewinder, go ahead, but i'm in a spotty-networking area, so i may not see it right away
th30z: what's an example of something else that you run and this happens?
designbybeck_, Tried choosing another window manager from Login?
TheLordOfTime, Thanks; it'll take a few moments, my typing sucks and I want to be concise..
i don't have another one to try jCuber
designbybeck_, You should be able to choose Unity 2D from somewhere like the top or bottom screen
designbybeck_, At the login screen, I mean
not with Ubuntu 12.10
ubuntu doesn't recognize a RTL8187 driver...:(
How can I check where my apt-get installation of a package is located?
alansaul_: dpkg -L PACKAGE .  But why?
jrib: I think I have multiple installations of numpy, want to know which will disappear if I do apt-get remove numpy
the only way to have multiple installs of something is if packagemanagement is broken... or if you installed something by hand
dpkg --list|grep numpy
Sidewinder, you're asking for support in a private message?
I've just got my hands on this (messy) server, so I'm trying to straighten some things out, I think atleast one version was installed by hand...
alansaul_: the first thing you should do is upgrade to a supported release...
jrib: Will be able to do that in the next couple of weeks
Going to have a complete wipe
for now, I just need a passable solution
so just need a updated version of numpy somewhere
Sidewinder, there's a reason we discourage using private messages for syupport requests, so you can have several people working together to help you with issues.  For future reference, I do not give Ubuntu support via private message.
Sidewinder, i'd encourage you to ask your question about VPN in this channel
and wait patiently for a response.
TheLordOfTime, Message received and understood.
* TheLordOfTime returns to digging around nginx's source code
And, good luck in your future endeavors.
Is there a lock file causing this error to happen? gpassword: cannot lock /etc/group;try again later
philinux: no
it means you haven't got permission to fiddle with groups
maybe you need to use sudo
gordonjcp: this is in recovery mode as root
hm, maybe it's not mounted read-write
philinux: What exactly are you trying to do?
gordonjcp: help this guy who accidently borked his admin account http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=12350440#post12350440
Sidewinder, i may have one solution, though, do you use network-manager?
I've done chmod g+w /var/www/whatever and then chgrp developers /var/www/whatever and then done ls -al | grep whatever and it lists: drwxrwxr-x 2  755 developers  4096 Nov 12 15:59 whatever, does that look right, with the 755 being listed?
ciao
cist1999:  do you list every channel you join?
the !list factoid should show something else
dr_willis, i still wonder, from 2009 untill now, what channel on #freenode gives download results to '!list"
sorry that would be offtopic
we should send them torrent files of the current releases.. that would lighten the server loads. ;-)
dr_willis +1 raring ?
Sarthor_ sorry I dashed away on a callout... proceed
split rars with par files and password protected
in a zip file
;-)
and a totally unreadable.   .nfo  file.
Hello can point me at documentation (or tell me) why dh_usrlocal is useful? Why create directories in maintainer scripts instead of just encoding them in the package files?
or direct the guy to trololo
jackhill: probably better luck in #ubuntu-packaging or #ubuntu-motu (or a debian packaging channel)
hmm. got no idea what dh_usrlocal  is. ;-)
jrib: thanks!
is it "normal" for my system to be sitting at 66% cached memory used? or to have 4.8gigs of cached memory? It seems to continually build up until ~99% memory usage (70-30 distribution between cached and active memory) and when I do something memory intensive from there, I get graphical issues in my desktop manager.. like altered characters and blank applications that are still running.. Restarting the desktop manager (log out/log in) is just a temp fix, and I'l
l have to eventually reboot
that is weird mag]]
how...
maybe it's gnome-fallback's problem?
mag]], for what else should the free memory be used?
normal boot huh
try a dufferent desktop perhaps and see?
mag]], are you looking for actual "free" (=not used) memory?
I think if I try to drop the cached memory, I'll get the graphical errors
rumpe1, I just don't want to have to reboot because of memory errors
mag]], then... buy some new ram?
i have to wonder how graphics memory is getting affected by system memory
is there a game similer to 'red alert
a long memtest may be a good idea.
rumpe1, I was just wondering if 66% constant cache usage is normal
is there a game similer to 'red alert' in linux
?
maplesoft: warzone2000 perhaps
dr_willis, yeah, when I have the time I should try that too
dr_willis:  ok. thats for linux?
mag]], it's normal to fill up the free ram with caches and buffers
i think thats the name..
dr_willis:  have you played it?
what does pipe_wait in waiting channel mean?
>System monitor
wz2000. wz2k.    its been a while since i played it.
rumpe1, until 99% memory usage?
mag]], yes, why not?
mag]], if an application needs ram, it can easily be droped
How-to so that <img src=""> open my image in ubuntu-server ? I need configure my  permissions ?
dr_willis:  I needed a free linux game that is similer to 'red alert'
what does pipe_wait in waiting channel mean?
hey all... I wanna fix OpenGL issues in Ubuntu 12.10
rumpe1, I don't know... just questioning, and dropping seems to screw things up so I was wondering if there were memory management errors somewhere :P, oh well thanks for the help, and thanks dr_willis
XFS fs 40TB filesystems..  actual 134876361, ideal 14984301, fragmentation factor 88.89 ...  I'm thinking defrag, but something tells me thats going to take days.
maplesoft: warzone2000 perhaps......
I've got a file in a zipfile with weird characters in the name, and file-roller refuses to extract it. how do I get that file out of there? (with or without the original filename)
maplesoft: check the game sites
warzone 2100   ;-)    i was clise
close
dr_willis: thanks
Doxin: try 7-zip
hello
ChogyDan: eww
help me fix open gl issues
how do i refresh my usb ports. one thumb stick seems to have problems getting recognized but works automatically when i leave it in and restart ubuntu.
ls /dev/sd*  only shows sda not /dev/sdbx
ls
west: maybe try `sudo lshw`
ah
I have a problem with using Modo 3d software in Virtual box, I'm running Ubuntu version Quantal, I discovered I may need to install nvidia driver and not use the open source driver, so I do sudo apt-get install nvidia-current and get the message that ''E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages''
dsenator: can you pastebin the full text of your cli?  ie, the command you ran and the resulting output and error messages?
it shows usb0, 1 and 2 as if I have 3 ports but I only have 2
Anyone have an idea why my computer freezes up whenever it goes to sleep for more than an hour?
dsenator: also, you may want to try `sudo apt-get install -f`
for some reason the new kernel messed my webcam up... the newest gentoo kernel also does the same thing to my webcam..can i use the old driver or something? is that possible? it does it on both the newest versions of ubuntu and gentoo but not on the old ones... i'm kind of upset that it forced me to upgarde now none of my hardware is working right
how do I do mention your name like you do for  me here?
dsenator:  you wouldent use the nvidia drivers in virtualbox
this is the command 'sudo lshw -C display; lsb_release -a; uname -a'
crackerjackz: AFAIK, you need to use the older kernel.  The driver versions are tied to the kernel
dsenator:  try a 'sudo apt-get update' 'sudo apt-get dist-upgrade' to fo a full update to latest packages on your release
ChogyDan: that;s what i thought... what about on a distro where you configure and compile your own kernel... would it be possible then?
dsenator, thanks will try
crackerjackz  go ahead and create it
MonkeyDust: ???
several sourced based distros out there. ;)
crackerjackz: as monkey said, yeah.  It's just a matter of getting ahold of the kernel.  Typically, the repos won't have it readily available.  With Ubuntu, you could try getting the kernel from an older repo, or from the mainline ppa
ChogyDan: how big of a security risk would it be to run a version of ubuntu that is no longer supported by the developers?
this computer is olddddddddddddddddddddddddd
but i like it and its all i have for a laptop
crackerjackz:  depends on how its connecteed to the net
dr_willis: wirelessly
and what you do with it
whats the exact system specs?
dr_willis: just work, surf the web, music, movies, video calls, nothing too crazy
crackerjackz: also, 8.04 kernel is still supported, which is from 2008
ChogyDan: i don't remember the exact version i had installed on here but it forced me to upgrade saying it was no longer supported... how do i downgrade with out formatting the drive?
you dont. ;)
dr_willis: if i can at the very least get this device functioning properly then i'll be okay i can do with out the rest Bus 002 Device 002: ID 046d:08d7 Logitech, Inc. QuickCam Communicate STX
crackerjackz, which version were you running?
Hi everyone, I finally managed to boot into the installer, now how can I get the installer to recognize my  software RAID setup?
cloudy: 10 point something i could be wrong though idr off the top of my head
10.04 i think
hi
bonsoir
morad: hello
how may we assist you?
hi, when I start up the UbuntuGNOME Live CD it goes black after loading xorg -- is that an nvidia-driver/compositor issue?
dr_willis: i'm using 12.04 now but the kernel that was working for me was 10.04 i think
Hi crackerjackz
ndiswrapper :(
crackerjackz:  weird that it would break. check bug reports perhaps. may be a known issue and being worked on.
crackerjackz:   or the cam is so old it was dropped
dr_willis: the cam works in the dark, but in the light it freezes
crackerjackz, a friend of mine got the same message on the netbook. Now it runs 12.04 and is just very slow. And it was running the beautiful Netbook edition of ubuntu. Now its time for xubuntu. I guess in your case, I would backup home and reinstall 10.04.
it does the same thing on gentoo but i thought maybe the cam was just broke... i put old version of ubuntu on my laptop and the cam worked perfect until i upgraded to 12.04
crackerjackz:  may be the cam is busted.. hard to tell.
Where can I find the latest version of the installation docs?
dr_willis: it works great on my friends windoze computer
I h've a problem with m'i wifi
time to check the bug reports and forums then crackerjackz
thank's
crackerjackz:  id check it with a 12.10 live usb also... could be the upgrade was the issue. not 12.10
dr_willis: there is a 12.10? im on 12.04 maybe upgrading to 12.10 would fix it?
crackerjackz, have a look at this: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SkypeWebCams
dr_willis: weird thing is the xubuntu 12.10 works fine ...
crackerjackz:  i rarely upgrade.... i always clean install..  test with a 12.10 live usb..
dr_willis, do you have home on a seperate partition?
dr_willis: can you clean install with out overwriting your home directory and what not? (say if everything resides on /)
i've got like 100 GB of data on here and all of my hard disk are full
cloudy:  i got home on its own seperate hard drive even... ;)
100gb? thats all?
i got more por... err... vacation pics then that
dr_willis: on this laptop yes.. it only has 160 gb HD but my other computers have bigger ones and they are all full as well
sounds like you need to clean house.
crackerjackz: yes you can, but the feature is somewhat obscure...  Canonical devs were going to fix that...
ChogyDan, dr_willis here are the image links from terminal http://imagebin.org/235566, http://imagebin.org/235565, http://imagebin.org/235567, http://imagebin.org/235568
just remember a hard drive could die at any time.. data not backed up is data at risk
ChogyDan: in what ways is it obscure, you mean obscure as in kind of complicated to figure out with not much documentation on the matter?
you could repartition and make a /home/ partition via gparted  but that may take time
dr_willis: yah i need to get some TB external drives and start backing up all my data to them
dr_willis, do you have a second harddrive in your PC or is it somewhere in your network?
and data loss is possible
cloudy:  i have like 4 on that one pc.. and a nas.
and a stack or backup usb hds
dr_willis, I am not looking to use nvidia in VB, I just want to be able to to solve the open gl issue of the host OS that is affecting the VB
dr_willis, 4 discs - are you using RAID?
got a 3tb internal for under $100 a few weeks back to replace a 1TB
cloudy:  i dont use raid. i want space. not speed.. my single sdd gives me speed
dr_willis, ok -so you have 3 big HDD and 1 SSD?
yep.
is it possible to remove a package along with all it's dependencies which are not required by any other package? like 'pacman -Rs package' in Arch
on that pc. ;)
dr_willis, how big is your nas and how many discs do you have there?
cloudy:  it has a 3tb on it
dr_willis, what is the noise level of your setup?
crackerjackz: it is not documented at all, and no indication that it will work.  But here is how to do it.  Just use the installer to start doing a clean install.  Select MANUAL partitioning when the option arises.  Setup up / to be whatever it is, and then hit install.  The installer will complain about an OS already present, and that certain directories (not /home) will have to be deleted.  In theory, it should leave /home intact.  I have tested this as workin
cloudy:  never noticed. i dont even have the side on it right now
dr_willis: i just plugged my webcam up to another computer running 11.10 and it works great.. i guess imma just downgrade soon as i figure out a wayt o back all of this data up
Does anyone know what specifically is different about the "Mac" .iso for LUBUNTU (I also have asked in #lubuntu)
or its your usb ports thats the issue crackerjackz ...
id just get a new webcam. ;)
dsenator: you don't have to do picture pastes, but it works.  try: `sudo apt-get install xorg-video-abi-11`  and see what that says
ChogyDan: interesting.. what live cd did you do it with?
crackerjackz: it was Ubuntu for the flavour.  Don't remember the version
dr_willis, when you do a new install, do you always install home as well and then just copy everything back from your backup ?
roger that
ChogyDan, i am on it
cloudy:  i tell it where my /home/ is (on sdb1) and it uses it.  it does not format it
i readd my users in the same order every time also.
dr_willis, what is the risk that newer versions of an application do not work with your old config files stored on home?
you could get fancy and have home for different users on different fielsystems if you wanted. ;)
cloudy:  its trivial to clean out the old configs
ive rarely seen the issue happen
dr_willis, :) Please tell me how?
remove/rename the config giles
files
brb
ChogyDan, here is the result Package xorg-video-abi-11 is a virtual package provided by:    xserver-xorg-core 2:1.11.4-0ubuntu10.8 [Not candidate version]    xserver-xorg-core 2:1.11.4-0ubuntu10.6 [Not candidate version]    xserver-xorg-core 2:1.11.4-0ubuntu10 [Not candidate version]
ChogyDan, sorry i dont know how to paste from terminal directly
dr_willis, so when an application has a problem you start with renaming the old config files and see if it solved?
dsenator: just copy paste to http://paste.ubuntu.com/
installed 12.10... what the heck is this /dev/mapper/ stuff instead of /dev/sda1?
linux or cisco first...am in networking security for the long haul. Asked same Q in cisco chan, hoping for unbiased only
soooo, I need help with one issue here, tried so many things, but no luck.
 http://askubuntu.com/questions/142182/mac-like-multitouch-support   tried this one, over and over, looked at several threads, but no luck. It seems to me that: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:utouch-team/daily  is the thing not working here.
cal_: thats the device mapper stuff. AKA software raid and logical volume management.
SoapMacTavish, join #ubuntu-touch , maybe those guys can help you out
bekks: ahh. so thats cause i chose LVM in the install? what if i had not chosen that, would  it still have used the whole 200gb drive?
thnx
ChogyDan, here it is http://paste.ubuntu.com/1353605/
dr_willis, what vendor is your NAS from?
cal_: In neither case you have to use your entire drive.
bekks: i know, but i wanted too
what does LVM give me over just having a /dev/sda1
cloudy: its built in the Cisco router. ive had others in the past
cal_: LVM is a storage adminstration tool. if lets resize volumes, stick volumes together, mirror, snapshot, etc.
dr_willis, ok - so it is a router with a USB port to which you attached the 3 TB drive?
cloudy: my boxee box also shared a hd. ;-)
sng _ you serious or sacastic...
ahh ok
cloudy: yes.
dsenator: apt-cache policy xserver-xorg-core
swapon: /dev/sda6: swapon failed: Device or resource busy
i have some low end nas $20  that can share 2 usb hds also.
dr_willis, regarding the config files being trivial, that part is something that I don't find so trivial. How do you know which config files belong to which application. Showing the hidden files on the home it is just such a huge list.
cloudy:  90% of them are in.    .config

Christian_M_, try running it with sudo
Is there anyone who has moved flash plugin to RAM to make it write there, since most are streams and not so interesting to save?
Does flash use /tmp or what?
cloudy, thanks. It s not a terminal command. I receive that in a chat webpage
Christian_M_, which version of Java are you running?
jdk
cloudy, jdk
Christian_M_, please type in a terminal java -version
ChogyDan, I have no idea what you are saying here... greek?
dsenator: hmmm, and you are running 12.04?
12.10

so I was trying to figure out why sound doesn't work often in all the non-mpd applications I have. mpd was running as a different user. so I tried to get it to use my user account. now I don't get sound with mpd either.
how do I just reinstall whatever is required for sound to work?
Christian_M_, you might want to change to the Oracle Java instead of Openjdk
ChogyDan, yeah but cant remember, but i know it was a partial upgrade and i have been trying to get it fully upgraded, this morning I was asked to fix broken packages which I kinda tried to do...
dsenator: also, I forget, have you run sudo apt-get update during all this?
ChogyDan, i did that in the morning, i can do it again
cloudy, i tried but i can't, and in the ubuntu forum they told me that openjdk is great the same
dsenator: try `update-manager --dist-upgrade`
Christian_M_, have a look at this: http://www.webupd8.org/2012/01/install-oracle-java-jdk-7-in-ubuntu-via.html
ChogyDan, I just did the sudo apt-get upgrade
how about the dist upgrade
how do i do that
Christian_M_, make sure you remove an openjdk first
cloudy, i have just followed that guide!
dsenator: well, let's just try the commands that Im giving.  I would try that one first
Christian_M_, but your pastebin still shows openJdk, then something didn't go right
ChogyDan, I have done everything up till sudo apt-get update
but the update manager one, how do I do that
cloudy, yes i told you: i tried but i can not install it, and then in the forum they told me to don't care
dsenator: exactly as I typed it: `update-manager --dist-upgrade`
Christian_M_, what did it say when you couldn't install it?
dsenator: also, in update-manager, click settings, and make sure to get updates on "every new release"    I think it is the bottom option
ChogyDan, i will do that again, i tried it earlier on but it said no such command... here is what it said again  now now http://paste.ubuntu.com/1353648/
ChogyDan, you know there is no update manager anymore
cloudy, http://pastebin.com/vcjWCGdJ
dsenator: hmmm, well, you are correct.  Try just running update-manager then.     (the --dist-upgrade option is still listed in the man page)
ChogyDan, it just starts running automatically, no option to choose aything
dsenator: can you check the settings?
ChogyDan, updater ran and installed 4 items, now it says up to date... how do I check setting?
dsenator: do you see a settings button?
Christian_M_, sha256sum mismatch jdk-7u3-linux-x64.tar.gz - the file is corrupted, could be your connection, you could retry
dsenator: well, if you want the quick and dirty method, you can also just gksu gedit /etc/apt/sources.list and change all references of precise to quantal
hmm
and THEN run update manager again, deal with resulting issues
let me give you a screenshot
k
cloudy, it was not the only guide that i followed, but if you say that i can try it again now... should i just repeat the last command: sudo apt-get install oracle-java7-installer???
ChogyDan, http://imagebin.org/235573
Christian_M_, no, because the file that was downloaded is corrupt and every time you run it it will do a sha1 checksum check and will fail
cloudy, ok i will repeat the whole procedure, do i have to remove/delete something before?
dsenator: it is because your sources are messed up.  To me, that looks like you have an upgrade that failed to complete.  I was trying to find a command that might restart the upgrade (ie, update-manager).  But if you just want to plow through fixing the broken packages, fix your sources.list file, and that should get you started
Christian_M_,  sorry, my mistake, yes, you can just run sudo apt-get install oracle-java7-installer and see that it gets downloaded again. no need to add anything else again
dsenator: or you could backup and do a clean install.  Sometimes that is easier
ChogyDan, software sources always crashes... once I click. I agree my upgrade did not install fully
cloudy, thanks ! i will try immediatly
ChogyDan,  this too http://imagebin.org/235574
dsenator: same situation.  So what are you going to do?  Backup and clean install?  or fix your sources, and plow ahead?
cloudy, same error
let me do the dirty method
ChogyDan, let me do the dirty method but when i change the name do i say ''Quantal Quetzal'' or just ''Quantal''?
dsenator: neither, "quantal"
Christian_M_, ok, looks like Oracle changed something on that link, this will not work at all for the moment
Hello, I Installed Ubuntu 12.10 64bit in UEFI mode and after restarting laptop i get "Failed to verify image with *ACCESS DENIED" instead of grub and then it boots Windows 8. I tried boot-repair but didn't help. Any Ideas?
ChogyDan, ''quantal'' with a small q, not the big
dsenator: correct
on it now
cloudy, should i wait or what? :)
How good is ubuntu at virtualization?
hello I installed skype but it won't start
when I click on the icon
ChogyDan, and save when done?
dsenator: of course
hello everyone. This friday iv updated a notebook from 10.04, to 12.04, only via gnome update manager, chosing the distro update button. Iv wento from 10.04 to 10.10, and them to 11 as the update manager suggested and so on. My user is ok, documents, images and so on, but I had a lot of files into my desktop, most of my work, that were GONE after the update. Why ubuntu simply deleted the desktop on the gnome / unity update proccess? Is there
a way to get my files back? into my /home/user/desktop theres nothing
were they moved or something? why is there such a caveat on the update  proccess that kills all the desktop files? I know thats not a good use for the desktop this way, i should get my files into the documents, /images, /videos or whatsoever
anyone here
?
yes no
ChogyDan, done and saved
dtcrshr: that shouldn't happen
yeah. but it did. i did nothing that reboot and choose the next update
Christian_M_, you can try the following. go to java.com and download the version from there. it will be a tar.gz file
dtcrshr: files shouldn't be deleted during update.  You should have updates anyway.  Take this as the moment you start backing up important files. Having said that, do you know the exact name of a particular file that should exist?
dtcrshr: I meant "have backups" not "have updates"
????????????????????????????????
zhorko: try running skype from a terminal, see if you get an error message
i know some file names for sure. iv  went to / folder and find -name 'fileiknow.ext'
Hi, I see "jbd/sda1-8" writing frequently to disk, what is it and how can I make it stop?
but theres none
dtcrshr: ok so what's the name of one file?  Also, during which update did this happen?
well, the bad thing is that this notebook isnt mine. Iv installed ubuntu for this friend an year ago, and the ubuntu started popping up a box "this version is no longer supported, please update"
btw am on a old symbian os phone ...so my chat is slow...
dtcrshr: were you here a few days ago?  With the username "mauro" for ubuntu?
ChogyDan, done and saved... now what next to test?
so, he brought the note to me, iv simply updated from the GUI, NEVER imagined that the desktop were purged after update
dsenator: run update-manager
hey, i'm trying to switch to using irssi instead of mirc, and i'm having trouble replicating the "/vhost" command from mirc. any advice?
i dunno. I simply updated all the way, and when he got here to get the pc, the files werent there
Hi there. I screwed up my login screen on Ubuntu. I am using the Live USB I have now. How do I restore it?
fsufitch: what does the command do...
jrib: yes, its me
cloudy, i have also tried that some days ago, but it neither worked for me
upgrade ubuntu
He found a pendrive with some files that were on the desktop, so now I have at least some filenames to search for
jrib: the syntax is "/vhost <vhostname> <password>" and it sets my vhost to a pre-configured host, checking that i am allowed to use it via password
fsufitch: If you're trying to hide your host, you'll need to ask in #freenode.  There is no /vhost on freenode.
Pici: this is on a different server, but i was asking because googling has failed me
I need to do something from the LiveUSB that is not "full restore". Or well, I haven't actually done very much so far regarding customization, so well...
fsufitch: unless of course your asking about another network, which you should use /quote to send a raw command to the server.
Christian_M_, you could try to contact the maintainer of the following ppa and ask them to update their installer: https://launchpad.net/~webupd8team/+archive/java
hi
Pici: i didn't know about /quote, i'll see if that helps
cloudy, ok many thanks ! :)
How good is ubuntu at virtualization?
MrOxy, pretty good
but the movie.mpg, that were into the desktop isnt there
from windows and ubuntu which one is better?
dtcrshr: I know, I already went through everything with you last time
Pici: thanks, that worked!
jrib: oh ok, sorry bothering you again
ChogyDan, i did and here is the process http://imagebin.org/235577
Can anyone assist with a DNS problem? I can't seem to get Ubuntu server to 12.04 to resolve domain names - however I can do it manually via nslookup
Hi everyone, I'm trying to install ubuntu 12.10 on a sotware RAID setup... The most recent ubuntu docs. I can find on software raid are about ubuntu 9.10. Where can I find documentation on how to install ubuntu 12.10 on a software RAID?
dtcrshr: honestly, the only that made sense to me was that there was another partition, an encrypted home that was no longer getting mounted, or some other sort of mount that stopped functioning (like a network share?)
what is the name of an app that will wipe a disk?  (other than dd... looking for something GUI... and friendly...)
dsenator: the partial upgrade of course.  Keep running partials then upgrades till no more updates
ChogyDan,  then this http://imagebin.org/235578 when i said to run partial run partial
so i will go ahead
dsenator: yep
cloudy, anyway, do you think that problem is caused by java?
ChogyDan, thanks for the help here... I will wait and see and let you know how it turns out
jrib: this note was used mostly offline. Is there a way to double check if the files were encripted?
dsenator: good luck
hey guys, the only 3D driver i could manage to make it work here was the open source ati driver.... why can't i just enable my 3D support from the proprietary driver?

Praxi: true, but that command often helps you find packages
Praxi: You have to look through that list. :)
was hoping to cut through some chaffe and see if others liked a particular one :)
davanger: idk about ufw default rules but this might help you (install but don't run it) http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=5387067&postcount=7
davanger: I can strongly advise you not to fiddle with firewalls unless you know its ins and outs
peterrus, libnetfilter-conntrack3 seems ok but I already have it installed

davanger, unless you know what you're doing, don't mess with the firewall
wollowizard: which program are you trying to start?
hey
peterrus, mallory
TheLordOfTime: I second that
I have skype problem it won't start unless it starts from terminal
peterrus, python program
wollowizard: is it an application from the official ubuntu repository?
peterrus, no cloned from git
anyone with a solution
is there a way that sudo can say "operation not permitted" ? on ubuntu 12.10 ?
wollowizard: then that question might not be related to this channel.

StaR_ClusterS, what? :P
hey someone with solution to my issue?
cloudy, i am trying to installa by tar, can u help me yet?
i just god a CACERT certificate,now i want to installit on LibreOffice
peterrus, ok, thanks!!!
wollowizard: these depency problems are handled by the official ubuntu repositories, so your version of mallory is not within that scope
which is not true, because the problem probably is just that you compiled something wrong
peterrus, being python, i just copied the entire repo and tried to run the file they indicate...
wollowizard: are you sure something within that is not trying to run some binary supplied outside of the official ubuntu packages?
hi, I need some help with commandline-ubuntu. i need to conf ubuntu to gateway for my Mitm-study
some helper program maybe
Akuw: you might want to try the #libreoffice channel for something so specialized (or maybe you'll be lucky and someone where knows)
or should I just jump to arch for that.
thanks
Does anyone know how to enable verbose start up in ubuntu 12.04 every time it starts
peterrus, I only see python files... but I don't know what it does exactly
lonewulf85: remove "quiet splash" from boot perhaps?  that should disable plymouth.  or use "text".
wollowizard: python files should be no problem (.py)
dont know about compiled python files (.pyc)
peterrus, but they should be generated automatically by the interpreter, right?
zykotick9: I will look and see if that would do it thanks>
wollowizard: not sure about that, my python knowledge does not reach that far :p
you would expect that yes
peterrus, yeah, I think so... I'm not sure either, but it is only some kind of optimization
I would like empathy to play audio alerts on events.
wollowizard: you could always try this: https://github.com/intrepidusgroup/mallory/issues
and see if someone replys
The per application volume control for empathy is set very low.
lonewulf85: see "/msg ubottu grub2" for a links to the wiki for details.  short version, edit /etc/default/grub then run "sudo update-grub"
Unfortunately it only shows up when empathy is playing a sound.
How can I turn it up?
wollowizard: have you used this? https://github.com/intrepidusgroup/mallory/blob/master/mallory_install.sh
rjune: make it play a longer sound? use a custom sound file as notification or call someone
peterrus, yeah... It seems I solved it. In the official repo there is version 3... this prog was looking for version 1... i just made a sym link with the right name
wollowizard: pretty dirty hack, but it might suit ;)
peterrus, not sure it will work, but at least it runs
so if there is a rule in /etc/ufw/applications.d should I assume that it will respect that?
wollowizard: do expect segfaults
HELP! I can't get ubuntu to use my DNS servers
Christian_M_, sorry, not at the moment, family is calling ;)
peterrus, I do!!! Dirty hack for a dirty work I'm trying to do... I'm trying to test the security of some applications using ssl, with a man in the middle attack... I don't know where to start!!!
i'm not sure man-in-the-middle attack stuff is on topic here
wollowizard: you might want to use Backtrack for that, if the livedvd contains your tool it probably works out of the box
spares a lot of time configuring and makes you get things done
I should do some sales
>_>
ok thanks a lot

Anyone know how I can set the target directory for deb file build by fakeroot?
StaR_ClusterS: stop spamming that it makes no sense
doug1: read its manpage?
peterrus, thanks again!!!

peterrus, doesn't seem to matter. next event comes in at useless low volume anyway
peterrus: already have. Not much there. I just can't believe it's not possible.
rjune: might be bug then, you can report that and see if more people have the issue
doug1: its a very long time since I used that, so I cant help you there
peterrus: Is there a more up to date way to make debian packages?

doug1, try #ubuntu-packaging
TheLordOfTime: k
(that's a channel by the way)
help ?
StaR_ClusterS: that is not the way this channel works
you have to ask a proper question
this makes no sense
StaR_ClusterS: i3-2120 is not a video card
and even if it made sense, you dont spam it
StaR_ClusterS, you might want to add the x-swat ppa for newer intel drivers > https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat/+archive/x-updates
why ?
why does he need to add that PPA
you don't even know the problem or the video card
think before pushing random stuff on people
ikonia: s/pushing/suggesting/  but i agree with your point.  suggesting unsupported (ie PPA) solutions right of the bat, is very premature.  especially without any details.
OerHeks, and ?
no 12.10
StaR_ClusterS: I strongly advise you not to randomly add a PPA
StaR_ClusterS, forget that ppa, we need more details of your problem first

now
am trying to reinstall mysql
hillary_l: how ?
is unity gonna stay there for ever/
hillary@hillary-Mobile:~$ sudo gedit /var/www/index.html
bulletrulz: Why not.
hello
cause unity is slow as hell
hillary_l: that's not installing mysql
hillary_l: that's editing a text file
bulletrulz: Sounds like you need a faster PC.
hillary_l: and you use gksudo to launch X11 apps
no i need my gnome back lol i installed mate so it run good
bulletrulz: well, your GNOME is dead and no longer supported by it's upstream developers.
thats why i use mate
sorry it is apache2
ubuntu should pick up mate and make like a matebuntu
bulletrulz: What is your system configuration? I have dual-core 2.0 GHz, NVIDIA 8400 GS 512 MB, 1 GB RAM DDR2, Unity here runs perfectly fine, really fast.
you are right am editing a text file
thelinux, netbook
1gb ram
1.6ghz duel core processer
bulletrulz: That's actually great idea, but Mint 13 is running MATE, and Mint is based on Ubuntu. Too bad Unity doesn't run on your netbook, it would be great DE for it, since it saves workspace.
hi #ubuntu, i am trying to get dual monitor support to work and am not having any luck. i have an nvidia geforce 8200 onboard and geforce 9400 gt pci. i have tried the drivers from nvidia and i get no video at all. with the default noveau driver i only get a display on one screen. any advice would be appreciated.
yakeb: Have you tried to install from software sources, additional drivers tab?
btw, kernel is 3.0.0-26 generic and dist is 11.10 oneric.
yakeb: Type in dash additional drivers, it should offer download for your graphics card.
matebuntu when mate gets more stable
that was the first thing i tried, when i did that, i had no display at all, when it booted it up, the monitor light on both screens were orange, as though they were not detected at all. i was able to ssh in and roll back, following some instructions i found online.
yakeb: Turn off your onboard driver.
hi
i took so much viagra
yakeb: Turn off your onboard driver with BIOS.

thelinux:thanks
dtcrshr: What's the problem?
thelinux: hello! the problem is that after iv updated this notebook from 10 to 12.04, my desktop files were deleted
looked in the Desktop directory? any other files in your home missing?
the upgrade process shouldent be touching anything in the users home.
no. all my files are there, the folders with music, video, documents all are just fine. only the files I had left on the desktop to easy of use were deleted
the /home/user/desktop folder are empty, in all users
dtcrshr: Did you do clean install? Or direct upgrade from 10.04? Try to move files from Desktop, access them from Home. Than put them back in.
dtcrshr: Oh I though you said they were there and you couldn't see them.
thelinux: no. The installation went popping up that the 10 would be no longer supported, and suggested the update. Iv only clicked up the button
no, im searching for them via terminal. Iv also tryind to use a know file name I had with "find filename.ext" but its nowhere
it would be the 'Desktop' directory with  a upper case D.  /home/yourusername/Desktop
dtcrshr: find | grep desktop
Do posix tools ever have multiple syntaxes? (synopses)
How many people are in #bash? Is there a party in there?
dtcrshr: Edit this: ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs
dtcrshr: find / -name filename.ext -print 2>dev/null
I thought I've seen some tools with syntaxes like
toolname  -i inputfile -o outdir
dtcrshr: And make sure everything in that file is like this: XDG_DESKTOP_DIR="$HOME/Desktop"
XDG_DOWNLOAD_DIR="$HOME/Downloads"
XDG_TEMPLATES_DIR="$HOME/"
XDG_PUBLICSHARE_DIR="$HOME/Share"
XDG_DOCUMENTS_DIR="$HOME/Documents"XDG_MUSIC_DIR="$HOME/Music"XDG_PICTURES_DIR="$HOME/Pictures"XDG_VIDEOS_DIR="$HOME/Videos"
thelinux: well, as I edit this to point up to another folder, since the Desktop (or even desktop) folder inside /home/user/ dont exist, the /home content is displayed on the desktop, already went this path
and     toolname -p inputdir -d outfile
you coult search faster with the locate command. after you update its database
thnks fego ill give a shot
But I can't find any now... I've looked at grep, ls, wget..
dtcrshr: you have to recreate the Desktop folders
hey! there's one... mawk
dougbb: but where my files went?
lmat: what exactly you are trying to achieve?
dtcrshr: no idea
they are "hidden" before I create the folders? Im scared to create the folder again and it overwrite the files
dtcrshr: look in /lost+found perhaps
already looked dr_willis
nothing interesting
dtcrshr: Aren't they hidden? Go to Desktop, View, Show hidden files.
#CoRaZoN-GyTaNo
dtcrshr: If you don't see the folders doing 'ls -l' in a terminal, they are gone
fego: I'm trying to create a program that will create and explore linux raster fonts.
thelinux: with wine will i have all the features available in office 2010?
I have a bunch of pictures, nothing into lost and found
If he has no Desktop directory  that is weird
derbie: Yes.
no thelinux iv tryed ls -lha , lhs, and a bunch of othres
Thank you
dr_willis: my installation is in pt_BR, its Area de Trabalho

lmat: if you need text manipulation there are native unix like filters available like grep, sed and awk
jcuber: on amilo pro v3505 i mean
 fego I don't.
derbie, Haha, you're welcome!
fego: I was looking for a tool that has multiple syntaxes.
fego: I found one: "man grep" (interestingly grep --help seems to be wrong.)
fego: your syntaxe gave me an error - "bash: dev/null: file or folder not found
lmat: all the utilities you will find in linux adheres to GNU syntax
this is a simple question, but i'm  fairly new to ubuntu. how would i go about turning on/off the firewall and configuring it?
dtcrshr: /dev/null
dtcrshr: the file is /dev/null
dtcrshr: pay attention
.
cherr:  its not on by default
<fego> dtcrshr: find / -name filename.ext -print 2>dev/null
fego: hmm..
it would be then filename.exe -print /dev/null ?
dtcrshr: sorry it was a typo
fego: So, is the "PATTERN" parameter to grep required or not?
lmat: that's what you are searching for
lmat: so "yes"
how would i turn it on?
need help about DNS issue on 12.04 because I am using remastersys dist mode
cherr: read the documentation ubottu has sent you please
cherr: don't bother
cherr: are you running a server?
lmat: grep takes regular expressions or hard coded strings as patterns, you want to search in your input
oh ok i missed that ubottu, thank you.
not running a server
cherr: are you behind NAT?
need help about DNS issue on 12.04...is there any package to handle DNS query in simple way
well, -print /dev/null gave another error, but this only telling the usage of the find command. if i set -print/dev/null it gives a command error
no
dtcrshr: READ the command
dtcrshr: there should be a space after "print"
cherr: no?
cherr: how are you connected to the Internet?
cherr: desktop or server.. dosent matter
ikonia, iv read this <fego> dtcrshr: find / -name filename.ext -print 2>dev/null trying to figure out the typo
dtcrshr: show me the exact command you are using
i'm sorry, i am gordon
dtcrshr: cut and paste the exact command you are using
dr_willis: well, it's only really useful to run a firewall on a machine that is *directly* connected to the world-facing Internet
 2>/dev/null
dtcrshr: find / -name filename.ext -print 2>/dev/null
dtcrshr  the slach
cherr: tbh it's unlikely a firewall will do anything useful for you
dr_willis  was faster
ikonia: find / -name 12M2U00763.MPG -print /dev/null
gordonjcp:  tell that to microsoft.   ;)
gordonjcp ok thanks for the help!
dr_willis: I don't see why they're relevant
dtcrshr: 2>/dev/null
dtcrshr: why are you not reading the example
i have a MAXTOR model 6Y060L0 (60G) hard drive that is recognized by BIOS (it's in the boot order map) and is recognized by the ubuntu after boot but not seen by grub.  The command "geometery (hd1)" returns with a no drive found error... Any clues?
hm, thanks
dtcrshr: if you pay this little attention you will fail
..after boot, I can even mount the (hd1,0) partition (hdb1) to a mount point, /mnt/test, and see all the windows files
cherr: basically if you're behind some sort of broadband router that does NAT (which is pretty much all of them) you are sufficiently insulated from the outside Internet and you needn't really care about firewalls
#
jtee: does grub load?
sorry ikonia i understood that the > were misspelled for the /
i need both
#canal
sorry ikonia fego
need help about DNS issue on 12.04 because I am using remastersys dist mode
but MS does their firewalll 'mentality' in the reverse. its to often keep bad apps from affecting the rest of the lan. people think linux works the same way.. but its very different
dtcrshr: no, you need the >
ActionParsnip, I boot through grub
jtee: so you do get the grub menu at boot (If you single boot, hold SHIFT at boot)
ActionParsnip, the geometry command doesn't see the drive and the windows boot (chainloader) command doesn't find the drive
gordonjcp: ok, i'm more of a hardware guy so networking is something i need to learn more about, but yeah i'm running through a regular router
hello - i have just installed ubuntu 12.10 but every time i try to access my other HDD or USB ... it says ERROR unable to mount ......any help???????
dtcrshr: "2>" redirects the error messsages to /dev/null file
cherr:  theres no services listening by default normally. so its more locked down by default then how windowx works
ActionParsnip, so, I am able to look at thinks with the grub cli
more /dev/null is empty
gaby: what filesystem does the partition use?
so, no errors.
dtcrshr: show me the exact command you are using
dtcrshr: show me with cut and paste
cherr:  unless you do some port forwarding, you should be safe
and no files. im desperate. how could possibly an update via command line purge the desktop files from an user?
dtcrshr: /dev/null is a null bucket
ActionParsnip: NTFS
jtee: if you use a chroot from a liveCD, you can upgrade the OS and reinstall Grub to the MBR
dr_willis: ahh ok, so with this type of os i don't really need to worry as much about protecting from outside in the WAN?
well, im trying this now - find / -name 12M2U00763.MPG -print 2>/dev/null
gaby: when you last unplugged it from a system, did you use the 'safey remove' functionality
cherr:  correct. no services installed to listen = no way to get in
dtcrshr: and what is the output
dtcrshr: it certainly should not do that, but that's why you're supposed to back up your data before you do upgrades
dr_willis: yeah not forwarding to my port
nothing
goes back to prompt
dtcrshr: right, so that file does not exist on your search
do i need to use sudo?
ikonia: it was on my desktop before the updates
cherr:  biggest danget i see to a ubuntu box is the user/admin doing somthing silly. ;)
ActionParsnip, grub is working just dandy... It sits on (hd0) and runs the show fine.  Where would I reinstall grub to?
dr_willis: awesome, learning a lot i should just sit here and read to learn about stuff haha
jtee: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2011/09/live-usb-sticking-grub-2-video
dtcrshr: then it should be in the Desktop directory in your home dir
jtee: you'd put it in the MBR, the chroot will allow you to run updates and the newer grub may fly better
dr_willis: haha i understand, thanks for the info
dtcrshr: or it should be your desktop now
Hi! I'm trying change my output-sound to my USB-headset. It's listed in xfce4-mixer and gnome-mixer but not in pavucontrol. How do I change it to the headset? :)
ActionParsnip: they are not in another system and not unplugged - its on the same machine here - and also the USB with Fat32 system file ... they are not mountable here . ... and YESSSS i always use SAFE REMOVE
When using GSettings with Python in order to control what systray icons to appear in my Unity GUI, I get the following error:
ActionParsnip, it's on the MBR of hd0 already
Settings schema 'desktop.unity.panel' is not installed
Any one can help ?
ikonia: but its not. ...
dtcrshr: then it's gone
gaby: I suggest you put it in a Windows PC (or boot to Windows if you dual boot) and chkdsk the NTFS partition
ikonia: does ubuntu register any logs from the update? maybe on the proccess somewhere i can see what deleted the desktop, so I could report this bug
I'm using 12.4 with Xfce and I have a program's window stuck under the panel at the top of my screen, I tried restarting the program. How can I move the window?
its a huge problem, a user to be confident using the update system from ubuntu and lost his files
dtcrshr: the update process doesn't delete files of your desktop
but it did!
it didn't
cosmicfires: if you hold ALT you can drag the app from ANY part of the window
thanks Action
there were no time into the update "do you want to delete all your desktop files?"
ActionParsnip, It is a pretty ancient version of Grub... wish me luck as I upgrade
awaad: can you pastebin the code?
it simply updated and purged my desktop
dtcrshr: no, it didn't
dtcrshr: in a terminal, if you run:   ls ~/Desktop
ActionParsnip i need help about DNS issue on 12.04...is there any package to handle DNS query in simple way
ActionParsnip, .... says 0.97!
ActionParsnip it doesn't work
* ActionParsnip bets ikonia that nautilus isn't running :)
awaad: though the schema is actually com.canonical.Unity.Panel so that may be your issue
jtee: what release did you install?
ActionParsnip: i'll take that bet ;)
ActionParsnip: I'll bet he's just deleted it based on the total lack of attention to detail he was showing when typing find and piping things to /dev/null
mechteam: nslookup will query your DNS servers for a name to IP  resolution, if that's what you mean
ikonia: i just plugged the notebook on our network, and clicked "update"
I disagree
rebooted, updated again, till 12.04. last boot on unity and desktop files were gone
I would probably backup the desktop folder it in the proccess of updating from gnome to unity the desktop were purged
pls i have been trying to install a package called liblwp-protocol-https-perl_6.03-1_all.deb offline but i get a dpkg dependency error saying i need to install libwww-perl and when i try to install this package offline too i still get a dpkg dependency error saying i have to install liblwp-protocol-https-perl_6.03-1_all.deb. its like the two package depend on each other. what do i do
dtcrshr: if you press CTRL+ALT+T   and run:   nautilus     do they show?
dtcrshr: Unity isn't a desktop, it's a shell for Gnome
babyswizz, you need to install all of the dependencies before you can install the package
right click on the icon in the panel and choose Move and I can move it
cosmicfires: is the partition mounted read only
babyswizz, all packages have their own dependencies, which is why people tend to install their packages from apt-get which installs all of the dependencies
cosmicfires: or do you mean the panel on the left in Unity?
I'm not using unity, using xfce
cosmicfires: gotcha
ActionParsnip: no, it simply opens the nautilus file browser. On my /home/user all other folders are there with theyr content, I just have nothing on the desktop
I figured out how to do it, just right click on the window's icon
jcuber, in this case it seems two dependencies actually depend on each other, how then do i install these two dependencies
dtcrshr: are there files in the Desktop folder?
babyswizz, Install them at the both time?
babyswizz, *same time
ActionParsnip: so, considering the only thing done was the update, the files should be on the computer any other place. The desktop folder is empty
j cuber how do i install both at the same time
dtcrshr: even if you show hidden files? Just to cover bases
orang indonesia ada ?
well, im trying via terminal, iv searched with ls -lha
and ls -lhs
babyswizz, "dpkg -i package1 package2"
the personal folder and files were not encripted
hello
I wanna play sound through a device that is listed with aplay -l, but isn't available in pavucontrol
Any ideas on how to do that?
what is the difference between xchat and xchat-gnome
dtcrshr: if you run:   sudo updatedb   then use 'locate' to find file names you know that should be on the desktop
hmm ill do that
keko, xchat-gnome is more of a stripped down version of the original xchat
dtcrshr: why store data on the desktop, thats a really messy way to store data
hello
BrainPaid, Hi!
jcuber thanks so much
anyone know much about the network management in 12.10 server(GUI) i'm only able to modify properties in one of my connections
thanks <jCuber
Can I make a question?
babyswizz, No problem! Remember, Google is your friend!
keko, No problem mate
I installed kubuntu (kde) under the ubuntu 11.10.
morning everyone! quick vsftpd question (already tried in #vsftpd, but no response). I'm getting a critical error when trying to connect with a local_user. What causes this and how can i change it? This is a fresh install and the only changes i made to the .conf file are turning off anonymous and turning on local enable. TIA
I installed kubuntu (kde) under the ubuntu 11.10. I want back to ubuntu. How?
episteme, What kind of error are you getting? If it's along one, use http://paste.ubuntu.com
BrainPaid: you should be able to choose the environment you want at login
Mans? Can you answer my quest?
I installed kubuntu (kde) under the ubuntu 11.10. I want back to ubuntu. How?
jCuber: simply getting Critical error. Could not connect
halosemua
BrainPaid  logout, select ubuntu, login
BrainPaid: log off, log into the original session
But I want back to Unity.
jCuber: so i switch anonymous back on and logged in and it worked find. I'm only getting this with local enable set to yes and anonymous set to no
But I want back to Unity.
But I want back to Unity.
BrainPaid: then select that at the login screen
I want uninstall kde and I back to Uniity
I know yours answers
brainpaid, i'm with actionparsnip on this. uninstall kde using synaptic once you've logged in in a different environment
ActionParsnip: I tottally agree with you. Desktop shouldnt be a place to work with files, since documents, music, video folders are there and helps the user to separate its files. But its like this, iv convinced this user to go for ubuntu, since he was using some pirate software and ubuntu would suit him just fine. So iv installed on his notebook ubuntu about an year ago. Since them he is a happy user, i cant possibly worry if he is using the
 desktop, a pendrive, his documments folder and so on. Since he received a message form the update manager that his version would not be supported, and worried about the update proccess he gave me the notebook to update. I have just plugged it up, into my personal user, and started the update proccess, that I almost didnt worried much, only clicked up the "update" button once in a while between the reboots. When he came here to get his cpter
back, logged up into his user, the desktop were unity, and there were no files there. First think was checking via terminal, on his /home/user/desktop folder
whici was empty
i think
Basic uninstalling is leaves bugs.
Basic uninstalling is leaves bugs.
I did nothing, and im into a very bad situation, since I never imagined that an update went this far to delete user files from the /home folder
BrainPaid  uninstall is not needed, just select the other DE
dtcrshr: it shouldn't, tbh
xangua: :D
dtcrshr: are you *sure* you updated and didn't format the /home partition?
BrainPaid: is your system damaged, it keeps pasting the same thing twice
BrainPaid: I'd look into that
BrainPaid: you are more like a brainpain :)
MonkeyDust
please wait ahead I give a link for you
gordonjcp: its not an install. no boot with cds or pendrives, the update were made totally via the ubuntu interface
anyone know much about the network management in 12.10 server(GUI) i'm only able to modify properties in one of my connections
no partition quetions, just the next next update manager doing his job
dtcrshr: and ~/Desktop is now totally empty?
BrainPaid: if you run:   sudo apt-get --purge remove `dpkg -l | {awk 'print $2'} | grep kde`
http://forum.ubuntu-tr.net/index.php/topic,21324.0.html
dtcrshr always good idea to back up before major changes, and test your backup works
BrainPaid: it will remove all the kde apps
mans, I saw yours answers but my english is bad
:(
and don't save everything on the desktop. This ain't Windoze! LOL
Fatguy, Try #ubuntu-server
BrainPaid: its a terminal command
I am not answer the all answes.
yea
its corrupt
Stuz719: sure thing.
11.10's uninstalling code is corrupt.......
backups are only good if you can restore them. test, test and test again
BrainPaid: it basically finds all the package names with 'kde' in them and removes them, it will also make other kde apps fail deps and be marked as 'to be removed'
Fatguy: are you getting a "not managed" message?
brainpaid - why does it matter if you uninstall? just select different DE at login
Stuz719: but at this point, its will sure be easy to tell the user "you should backup your files", or "you shouldnt use the desktop to keep your files"
Stuz719: but its no fault from the user or from me since the normal update simply purged the desktop
actionparsnip THANKS A LOT MAN :)
can someone please help me with changing my wlan0 channel?
?
no fault... but a salutory lesson in data management
BrainPaid  and after that, do 'sudo apt-get autoremove'  (without the quotes)
this update proccess should not be recommended or something, its really really bad to delete user files into an update, not espected by anyone to keep feets behind doing updates
Hello, I Installed Ubuntu 12.10 64bit in UEFI mode and after restarting  laptop i get "Failed to verify image with *ACCESS DENIED" instead of  grub and then it boots Windows 8. I tried boot-repair but didn't help.  Any Ideas?
been looking but solutions found do not work
ax562: you change it in the router, then the clients will need to reconnect
im trying to change it in terminal
dtcrshr: do another update.  Record that some files on your desktop actually exist.  Then do the update.  If the files are actually deleted, file a bug.
i found it a method that worked last night but cant find it again
q
ax562: you will need to change it in the router first, you may be able to telnet or ssh to the router and configure it
i know its a sequence of ifconfig and iwconfig
ax562, "iwconfig wlan0 channel 11"
i am having problems playing musics on my ubuntu linux, anytime i try playing a music file i get an error message saying python(v2.7) requires to install plugins and i dont know the particular package to install
jcuber should my wifi adapter be dissabled?
jrib: ill do this. ill get the 10.04 iso to make the same steps
i tried that and it did not work
trism: I got the value as a GVariant Object <GLib.Variant(['all'])>. How can I get the ['all'] list ?
let me try again
babyswizz:  the askubuntu.com site had that exact question and answer i saw it the other day.
ax562: yes, simply telling the client to use a different channel will sever the link. You need to set the desired channel in the router first
when i try to install virtualbox i get this and why?
virtualbox-4.2:i386 : Depends: libcurl3:i386 (>= 7.16.2-1) but it is not going to be installed
                       Depends: libpython2.7:i386 (>= 2.7) but it is not going to be installed
                       Depends: libqt4-network:i386 (>= 4:4.5.3) but it is not going to be installed
                       Depends: libqt4-opengl:i386 (>= 4:4.7.2) but it is not going to be installed
                       Depends: libqtcore4:i386 (>= 4:4.8.0) but it is not going to be installed
trism: I am searching for some thing like GVariable.get_boolean() but for lists.
babyswizz:  they showed some fix . its aparently some odd bug in a config
ax562: then when you scan for the network, it will be seen on the new channel and connected to, simply telling the client to use a different channel doesn't make the router suddenly switch. It doesn't work like that
scared: think about if even 4 people did that, how useless would the channel be?
dr willis what exactly am i to do cause am new to linux
what was that command again  jcuber
scared: as well as how useless the text would be as it mases into everybody else
anyone seen problems lately w/icedtea and updates?   I'm gettin this now: http://pastebin.com/q1p7aQTW
dam irssi
jrib: is there any specific update logs I could search into this box?
ax562, See my private message
dtcrshr: no
dtcrshr: /var/log/dpkg.log
dtcrshr: updates only install new package versions and packages will never touch your home
babyswizz:  go to askubuntu.com type in the main parts of thet eror message in the search field. i saw that exact problrm and the fix was given.   im on my phone so i cant cut/paste/find it for you
trism: Are you here?
ax562, If you can't see the message, "iwconfig wlan0 channel (channel number)"
thanks dr willis
HI all. Are there any apps for website monitoring for changes?
soman, What kind of changes and where?
Hello, I have some problem with gnome-shell.
I was installing this >> https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/157/left-message-tray/ and now gnome-shell is not working
Any one knows how extract python list from GVariant Object, such as: <GLib.Variant(['all'])>
I want to monitor text changes and links
http://wklej.org/id/869258/
Text from the terminal
I have 2 sound cards, the built-in intel, and an hdmi on my graphics card ... previously sound was coming out of the intel card just fine, but now it isn't, and none of the solutions I have found on line have helped
ActionParsnip, yay.... I'm now running grub2... booo... it still can't see the Maxtor drive... (the drive is fine and seen AFTER boot however!)
if someone have, I need that file: /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas/org.gnome.shell.extensions.left-message-tray.gschema.xml
i have lubuntu inside of a virtualbox vm and i installed the guest additions, but my list of resolutions from xrandr doesn't show my native resolution 1440x900 (i do see 1440x1050)
it is from Ubuntu 12.04 with gnome-shell
jlsdf:  http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=777759    make an xorg.conf and set the resolution manually. Strange to want it fullscreen.
awaad: yes sorry, why are you using Gio.Settings.get_strv or something
awaad: ?
awaad: sorry that should be why aren't you
jtee: is it a SATA HDD?
trism: What should get_strv() do ?
awaad: will return to a list of strings, which is appropriate for the systray-whitelist key
Help! I have a boot problem: the boot screen stops at "error: symbol not found: 'grub_video_get_in'" and a "grub rescue>" prompt. I have a system rescue CD on USB, but no idea what to do next. Any pointers?
trism: Thanks very much. It worked
david-goodger: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2011/09/live-usb-sticking-grub-2-video   you can use that to chroot and check your Grub config
ActionParsnip: thanks!
trism: But I don't see any set_strv() function for GVariant.
Mans, good bye :)
awaad: you shouldn't need to use variants directly, I'll pastebin an example
pls am trying to play a music file on ubuntu and get an error message saying python(v2.7) requires to install plugins and i dont know the particular package to install

hi folks i have a problem with a precise server, which hangs after printing Running /scripts/init-bottom
there does not seem to be an error
i have let the machine run for a day and still no luck
i already installed the ubuntu-restricted-extras package deb file and i still get the same error
what is happening after /scripts/init-bottom ?
milestone: define hangs
ikonia: nothing happens anymore
milestone: does the server hard lock  ?
ikonia: no
Hi, I'm trying to figure out how to install applets. The instructions say to right-click an empty part of the panel, which is what I used to do before unity, but nothing seems to happen when I do it now.
s/install/load/
milestone: can you switch ttys ?
ikonia: if i do ctrl-alt-del it say [OK]
I've already installed several applets via apt-get, but I have no idea how to put them on my tray/.
ikonia: did not try. does that matter?
milestone: it may give you more info
ikonia: i have booted a rescue system and mounted the disk
ikonia: but i need to fix the boot process
do what I said then
ActionParsnip, no  it's an old ATA IDE drive
lov: unity does not support applets, you can add additional indicators though, but you either run them from the command line for appindicators or they autostart when unity runs
ikonia: ok hang on
ikonia: any special tty you want me to switch to?
no
look around
action parsnip i already installed the ubuntu-restricted-extras package deb file and i still get the same error
ikonia: ok just a sec
Hi everyone, I just installed ubuntu 12.10 desktop, but the bootloader didn't load it when I restarted. I have booted back into the system via the installation medium (usb). How do I go about fixing the bootloader?
lov: might help to specify what package you installed (for instance, indicator-multiload needs to be started manually, usually adding it to gnome-session-properties)
ActionParsnip, I may just end up cloning the drive to a 'newer' one and seeing if grub can handle it better.
trism: indicator-multiload actually.
trism: I'm a little baffled at how I'm supposed to start it manually, however.
trism: Note that GVariant.get_strv() returned a tuple not a list.
trism: It returned (['all'], 1L)
lov: you can search for it in the dash, then run it, and in the preferences check autostart if you want it to start up autmatically
ikonia: the only one i can switch to is f7 which prints nothing alt-f1 brings me back to the initial boot screen
awaad: yes but not from Gio.Settings, it returns a list
ciao
awaad: my point is you do not need to work directly with the variants if you just want to manipulate gsettings
ok....
milestone: look at the initbottom script (or marker in the main script)
ikonia: do you know where it is?
ikonia: /boot/scripts?
trism: I got it. Really I appreciate your help.
milestone: in the init directory or upstart directory, I do'nt have an ubuntu machine here to check which
ikonia: ok
milestone: /boot/scripts ??? that doesn't even exist
hi
ikonia: that was just a wild guess since i thought it only had /boot mounted (maybe just through grub you know)
ikonia: just a wild guess
ikonia: stupid me sorry
milestone:  /boot onlt contains the kernel
I'm trying to change the background for lightdm, but can't get dconf-editor to start as user lightdm
ikonia: and initrd and stuff System map etc.
milestone: that's the kernel stuff
the display can't be opened because "no protocol [is] defined"
trying to make the change via gsettings doesn't work either
trism: but that's the thing; it doesn't show up when I search for it, it doesn't seem to tab-complete, and I have no idea what I should call to start it.
ikonia: true
am I missing some environment variables?
trism: .... ok, nevermind. That's bizarre. I could have SWORN that I ran apt-get install on it.
trism: working now, thanks.
Does ubuntu come with options for full encryption?
ikonia: /etc/initramfs-tools/scripts/init-bottom is empty :-(
yes
milestone: ok, so look at what's next in the sequnnce
milestone: although thats init-ramfs , are you sure htat's what it's executing
ikonia: i am regenerating all initrd's
Hi!
ikonia: yes
milestone: why ?
ikonia: because during the upgrade /boot grew too large (100%)
i guess something might be screwed there
Is there any way to get the sound working on a dual screen setup (the second monitor is connected through hdmi and should play the sound)
hi
* Hypernova is on ubuntu now :)
hi cuddylier
cpm84: pulseaudio should be able to handle that. just choose the output device accordingly
How do I block a certain port on a certain Ip? I tried this command '/sbin/iptables -A OUTPUT -p tcp -d 198.15.69.172 --dport 1080 -j DROP' but I can still connect to the port
Chais, thanks i'll try
cuddylier: that's output
cuddylier,  i dunno
Oh wait, I'm silly aint I
cuddylier: use ubuntu firewal
firewall
trism: Does this save the new list as the key only for the period in which my program is running ?
how do i modify network connection properties if they are grayed out? I'm using 2 connections, the first I can modify, the second I can't
I just installed 12.04, how do i move the panel to the bottom and put the hide buttons on the side?

thelinux which version was the last to let you do that?  I'm happy i found this out right after installing
GregMathis: Nope, reason is I guess because it would ruin the look and feel of Unity.
those are the reasons I use Arch...
cuddylier: -A INPUT -p tcp -m tcp --dport -j reject (drop should work too)
Hi - I just bought a laptop that runs ubuntu, not really knowing much about it. I'm juuuuust starting to feel my way around. Am I going to be able to use Hulu Plus or Netflix?
netflix won't work on ubuntu
Do Ubuntu have support for Mobile Internet (3G) post-install? I tried with Fedora, but it only works in the LiveUSB mode.
awaad: no it should save it to dconf, that is pretty strange
thelinux, so how far back to i need to go to be able to get the customizeable version?
ikonia: DROP has the upside of silently ignoring the package, while REJECT says: I'm here, I don't likke you
Chais: I'm aware of what it does
ikoniaI I only want to block the port 1080 on a certain IP
GregMathis: I don't think Unity can be customized like that, not even previous versions, maybe some hacks, but something nice and clean no.
Hulu Plus says it has a desktop app for Linux, but when I download it, the icon does not appear
thelinux, there is a way, i had 10.something and you could customize it
thelinux, pretty cool too, you could move the panels all to the bottom, hide them heck you could even make your own panels -yoiu would have liked it
GregMathis: 10.04 LTS and 10.10 have Gnome 2.x as DE, Later versions use Unity.
awaad: what happens if you run: gsettings set com.canonical.Unity.Panel systray-whitelist "['all']"; from a terminal?
guys is 12.10 is realy stable ?
thelinux, i dunno i just download ubuntu not familiar with unity...
trism: Note also that using dconf-editor I see two schema which should make such configuration: "desktop.unity.panel" & "com.canonical.panel"
GregMathis: And Gnome 2.x is dead project now, but there exists now MATE which is fork of Gnome 2.x
thelinux, so 10.10 is the last one to use the whatever it is tghat allows you to customize the panel?
am I basically out of luck trying to use subscription video streaming?
GregMathis: mate is just as dead though too
GregMathis: 10.10 is no longer supported.
trism: And in my code you provided me third one which doesn't appear in dconf-editor
GregMathis: using the gnome2 codebase in any way is a dead end
Okay, for a specific hard drive housing mounting the drive in ubuntu ruins the data. Is there anyway to get this fixed?
gilgulis: if you install a virtual machine with windows on it you can use netflix but other than that I don't know of any other way
ikonia, i wonder why they would move to making it less customizable - am i missing something or wording it wrong?
GregMathis: who ? make what less customisable ?
GregMathis: have you tried Mint?  I think they are trying to recreate some of the stuff you might miss on gnome3
ikonia,  im talking aboutn the thing  on the top of my screen that says applications, places, etc... i dont want that at the top of my screen i want it on the bottom
 /server 87.118.124.140 10007
awaad: well gsettings schemas have both a name (com.canonical.Unity.Panel) and a path, which in 12.10 is /com/canonical/unity/panel but which ib prior versions was /desktop/unity/panel
GregMathis: what ?
GregMathis: If you really like Gnome 2.x use Ubuntu 10.04 LTS which will be supported until 2013 April. But you can install XFCE on Ubuntu 12.04 which is similiar to Gnome 2.x
valortek: thank you, I'll look into that but probably would defeat the purpose of having a simpler, more stable machine
GregMathis: debian stable, still uses gnome2 and will be supported for longer then ubuntu 10.04... just pointing out another option.
trism: The previous command worked very well as you can see from here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1354092/
zykotick9, anything debian based that is similar to ubuntu?
awaad: the path is what is used in dconf-editor (since it is used for actually storing the key), but shouldn't really make a difference when using the gsettings interface
zykotick9, i just want debian based with large community that allows you to use gnome
awaad: very strange, which ubuntu version is this?
ikonia: when i am in the rescue system, is there a way to start an upstart service by hand?
how do i modify network connection properties if they are grayed out? I'm using 2 connections, the first I can modify, the second I can't
zykotick9, GregMathis: Debian is little harder to use for newer users, I would recommend to be with Ubuntu 10.04 until it's supported.
trism: 12.04
zykotick9, almost seems 10.04 is best bet
thelinux, thanks i think thats what im gonna do
service $whatever start/stop
See the cpu displayed in 'top' for a process, is that the true cpu level?
ikonia: start <service> does not work, because it cannot communicate with the private socket
As in e.g. 150% means 1.5 cores used
GregMathis: Why don't you first try XFCE on Ubuntu 12.04, it's similiar to Gnome 2.x
cuddylier_: Yep.
thelinux, before i go if i install it from a netbook is there anyway to force it not to do the netbook remix?
milestone: what is the exact command you are using ?
Okay :(
awaad: let me test my script there, maybe it is different (it is working on 12.10)
thelinux, i have tried xfce on older ones i cant see it being better than gnome
ikonia: service mysql start
cuddylier_: CPU frequency might not be max or whatever, though. If you have a processor with speedstep style tech.
milestone: sudo ?
trism: Okay, I am waiting for you.
ikonia: i am root
zykotick9, i have installed those and select those while logging inm but stil do not do anything when i right click the panel
hi... i have a window that somehow moved off screen.. how can i get that window back on the display?
milestone: root is disabled on ubuntu
ikonia: i am in a rescue system with the shell dropped to root
GregMathis: Try MATE.
is there any software to sign pdf files using my digital certificate?
what is the command to see what video card I'm running?
GregMathis: for customiability, both unity and gnome3 are not your friends...
milestone: what is the exact error
trism: I discovered some thing. After rerunning the script multiple times, it worked very well
any body knows how to solve this problem ? http://paste.ubuntu.com/1354095/
lspci
zykotick9, damn just the panel  you'd figure that would be something easily moved
GregMathis: Try MATE, you can install it right there on 12.04. It's fork of GNOME 2.X
awaad: oh I think I know what the issue is
ikonia: it is a rescue system, and i am mounting the root and boot partition under /mnt and then chroot into the system
I am missing "privacy" in System Settings - please see http://imagebin.org/235600 - or must I look somewhere else?
awaad: it isn't working for me either there
milestone: why ?
GregMathis: or Cinnamon, if you prefer the technical part of gnome-shell
gaby: erm, maybe buy a new hdd
designbybeck, lshw
so somehing like lshw | grep video InspectorCluseau ?
sweet thanks for the help trying those suggestions now
sounds good
ikonia: because my system hangs after init-bottom
ikonia: i need to dump my db and resetup the system
awaad: you need to run the mainloop briefly on 12.04 otherwise the dbus messages don't get sent and the setting is never updated
gaby: did you install Ubuntu onto NTFS?
hi
milestone: what is the exact error when you try to start it
ikonia: it prints simply nothing
ChogyDon:  maybe if i use one external HD i would believe what you say :)  - but it happens with every partition i use internal or external
GregMathis: Try Cinnamon like they suggested, it's great and customizable.
awaad: my ugly quick example: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1354104/
milestone: ok, so if you just want to dump the db, start mysqld manually, connect to it and dump it
GregoryFenton: be aware, cinnamon is NOT supported in #ubuntu
ikonia: when i run init 2  i am getting init: Failed to connect to socket /com/ubuntu/upstart: Connection refused
ChogyDon: no - its by linux format
init 2 ????
ikonia: yes because the init process is not running
why are you running init 2??
because upstart depends on init
sorry, I'm strugglging to grasp what you are doing, I thought you wanted to dump your mysql db
* zykotick9 points out, if init isn't running = system isn't running.
ikonia: basically it is simple i need to make my service available again
basic question, completely new to non-Windows - what should I be looking at for virus protection?
ikonia: and yes all i want to do is simply start the db in the same way upstart does this
Does anyone know if I will run into any problems if I were to install qingy ?
milestone: just start mysqld manually and take a dump/export
ikonia: before upstart and with sysv scripts you would simply run /etc/init.d/mysql start
sweet, thank you
trism: What statement solved the problem? "GLib.idle_add(Gtk.main_quit)" or "Gtk.main()"
even when in rescue mode
milestone: you can't do that now
it's more complex and pointless
ikonia: i know but there is an /etc/init/mysql.conf
it has a pre-start and post section
milestone: what's that got to do with anything ?
just start mysqld
awaad: Gtk.main() runs the mainloop, idle_add with main_quit tells the mainloop to exit after it finishes processing all pending messages
take a dump/export
awaad: you'd probably want to use the gobject mainloop instead but the gtk one is quicker to type and I was feeling lazy
could someboyd with a (largely) unmodified ubuntu please tell me the output of "ulimit -l"?
question: im on Ubuntu 12.04. I just check for updates and noticed that some of my updates arent checked. does this mean they arent needed?
example: ffmpen(checked), libav-tools(unchecked), libproxy1(checked), libswscale2(unchecked)
heftig: Mine output is: 64
awaad: the issue is that dbus needs to send the messages telling gsettings to update the value, this may be automatic with the changes in 12.10 but for 12.04 you appear to still need to do it explicitly
thelinux: thanks.
is anyone familiar with mounting shared folders in a virtualboxed ubuntu?
trism: Ahaa, I got it.
your bug reporting process sucks.
ty
Is anyone in here familiar with qingy ?
melkor: are you using "ubuntu-bug PACKAGENAME" to report it, and do you have a Launchpad account?
zykotick9: I have a launchpad account. there is no package.
amayer_, open a term window and type: sudo apt-get dist-upgrade                  Is anything held back?
dtigue: Login manager?
melkor: there is "ALWAYS" a package... ;)
so
zykotick9: when I tried to mount a hard drive the data was corrupted.
compdoc, what do you mean held back?
I just got games working under ubuntu
zykotick9: what package is that kernel?
and steam
thelinux: uh, yea its login manager, kind of
amayer_, the ones you mentioned
STEAM O_O
is anyone familiar with mounting shared folders in a virtualboxed ubuntu?
zykotick9: Why can't I report a bug the same way I would any other launchpad application?
sysboot: Yes I have runned Steam too.
melkor: i'm not sure.  are filesystem support only kernel?  i don't know.  is this a fuse issue?
melkor: you'll need a lot more data than that for it to be a valid bug
I have what looks like the 0-byte file problem on ext4 file systems. I have tried to remount the drive with data=writeback but it does not look like anything is different. Is this data recoverable?
sysboot: What seems to be the problem?
melkor: what filesystem was involved?  how was it mounted?
sacrebleu: you need to install the guest extensions. then you can just add them to fstab or mount them manually. man page tells you how
zykotick9: ntfs and ext4
melkor: ok.  well, best of luck - don't reply to me further, i won't see it.
sysboot: Are you here? What seems to be the problem?
zykotick9: it was mounted automatically
I am missing "privacy" in System Settings - please see http://imagebin.org/235600 - or must I look somewhere else?
nevermind it was just delayed .. worked
not that any of you cared or helped
I'm trying to change the background for lightdm, but can't get dconf-editor to start as user lightdm
the display can't be opened because "no protocol [is] defined"
guntbert: Its there on my 12.10 system
guntbert: It should be located in personal section, try typing in dash privacy.
vbox docs cover it well last i looked
trying to make the change via gsettings doesn't work either
dr_willis: as long as I can remember, yep
ikonia: valid or not, it is an area where ubuntu causes actual damage. If you borrow somebodies hard drive after you use it the data is lost.
seems to be some dbus issue, but I can't seem to figure out what it is
guntbert: do you have activity-log-manager-control-center installed?
guntbert: Comparing to mine, you're also missing "Online Accounts" in the personal section
ikonia: it is documented on the comment section of amazon, and I would report it if possible.
melkor: please stop talking FUD, unless you KNOW ubuntu caused the problem, please stop
DJones: thx for pointing that out
compdoc: it says there are packages held back, they are all the same packages.
melkor: you've done nothing but tell me a disk has been corrupted, that could be for any number of reasons
what does this mean?
Chais: you could find the image and just edit it. or i recall some tweak tools let you change ut.
ikonia: what do you mean unless I know.
games for linux visit www.penguspy.com
ikonia: yes, I am trying to file a bug report so it can be tracked down.
dr_willis: where would I have to look?
amayer_, can you pastebin.org the results?
trism: looking
Rizon: please don't spam
melkor: you have no idea why it happened,and provided no details
melkor: how can you expect anyone to even debug it, let alone prove it's valid/notvalid
ikonia: what sort of details would you like. It was repeatable.
guntbert: Another one missing under the system section "Management Service"
Chais:  i think /usr/share/backgrounds
pls am try to play media files on my ubuntu linux and error saying python(v2.7) requires to install plugins and i dont know what package to install
Why wont '/sbin/iptables -A OUTPUT -p tcp -d 192.168.1.2 --dport 1234 -j DROP' work to block a certain port? I am hosting a minecraft server if that affects anything
Hello there everybody
ikonia: I formated the drive to ext4, unplugged it and plugged it back in. Not formatted anymore.
dr_willis: well, ok that's the background, but there's more. want to get rid of the grid
melkor: did you unmount correctly before you unplugged it?
ikonia: you don't have to be a prick about it though, you can ask  questions.
melkor: a GOOD descrription of the problem, how it's corrupted, (file system / partition / file )
compdoc: http://paste.debian.net/208708/
gordonjcp: yes.
and hide guest login and perhaps a user
I have a problem with my steam account, it says "This version of steam is currently in closed beta. Login with an enrolled account to continue." who can i fix that ?
melkor: don't call me names, and don't use that language
ikonia: you set the bar with your FUD comment.
may I ask, I need some help configuring dhcpd to give IPs to devices I am connecting to my notebook
trism: no, did you suggest to install it or warn against?
amayer_, that doesnt show what command you used
melkor: because you are talking FUD
Chais: webupd8 or omgubuntu had the exact tweak for that... i always remove that grid
anyone know how to diagnose a grub 'error: file not found' error?
I'm getting No subnet declaration for wlan1 (no IPv4 addresses).
what's wrong with a good old plain-text config file...?
guntbert: it is up to you, that package provides the control-center privacy panel
melkor: you need to validate abd provide information
melkor: slating ubuntu when you have no idea where the fault is is speading FUD
compdoc: like you said "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade"
trism: aah :-)
ikonia: I am using ubuntu, I do not know if it affects other distrubutions.
rootpt: see postings on steam on omgubuntu or webupd8 blog site
ikonia: I would like to report the bug.
melkor: you know nothing about the bug, yet you're complaining it's ubuntu's fault, this = FUD
melkor: report the bug then
pls am try to play media files on my ubuntu linux and error saying python(v2.7) requires to install plugins and i dont know what package to install
dr_willis: can u give me the urls?
please.
trism: What about adding this code to my Desktop Application which already contains Gtk.main(), I think adding GLib.idle_add(Gtk.main_quit) will make the application to exit before it starts.
rootpt: typu in omgubuntu in your browser..........
hello
awaad: oh if your application already has a main loop then you don't need the quick and dirty workaround
dr_willis: omgubuntu has an entry referred to 11.10, which still uses the config file
awaad: GLib.idle_add(Gtk.main_quit) is only there to exit the mainloop when the script is done, otherwise it would keep running until you manually killed it
dr_willis: ok, i will see that, thanks a lot man
babyswizz: I'll repeat my question to you many minutes ago.  How are you trying to play media files?
jcuber can you pls help me with my problem?
amayer_, thats rare when that happens. you might want to read this:   http://askubuntu.com/questions/216371/apt-get-dist-upgrade-doesnt-fix-the-following-packages-have-been-kept-back
rootpt, add the steam icon in your launcher, right click on it, select something from the list, dang it works!
gordonjcp: I originaly though the problem was because I  didn't unmount it. But I reformated the drive and tried again. It always loses all of the data with ext4 and with ntfs it gets corrupted immediately.
trism: now I do have it installed - the "system settings" window seems unaffected :-(
gordonjcp: I don't even need to physically unplug the  device I can just mount/unmount.
guntbert: strange, is this from unity?
is there a boot repair program in the repos I can use to repair boot?
melkor: what ubuntu version? All updates installed? Can you replicate on another device?
or to diagnose boot issues from Live environments?
compdoc: could these packages have been disabled when i installed Ubuntu-restricted extras and it had to remove libav* stuff
kostkon_: ok, i will try that, thanks a lot
trism: yes - I'll try with a different user
amayer_, did you use a different repo, and then truned off that repo?
jrib: all updates are install, or were at the time. I did not try it on another device.
turned off
jrib: the hd works fine from windows on this device.
melkor: and my first question?
compdoc: nope
jrib: 12.04
compdoc: this is a work computer so i didnt do too much extra to it
When I provide a font file to setfont that doesn't have a chodepoint mapping, what is the default mapping?
amayer_, what happens if you type:  sudp apt-get autoremove    ?
sudo
melkor: i'd start by replicating the issue on a different device
what up
can anyone help me with using my usb modem on ubuntu linux 12.10 i cant seem to use it
jrib: I am not going to corrupt the data again. I use the drive at the moment. I want to report the bug. I know of at least one other instance where this occured.
compdoc: http://paste.debian.net/208710/
jrib: I don't know if they filed a bug report though.
I have a raid 5 array with a failed disk.  I have failed the disk and deleted it. rebooted the system and now its stuck at initramfs prompt and I can't get it to boot up any further?
kostkon_: thanks man, now i can open the chat, thanks a lot ;)
melkor: this channel is for support.  If you want to report a bug, report it.  I've given you the link already on how to report bugs
whoami
rootpt, np
hi to all !!!!
When I block a port via iptables, does it take affect immediately?
guntbert: do you get an error if you run: gnome-control-center activity-log-manager; from a terminal?
bonsoir a tous
melkor: if you're not sure about some specific step in reporting the bug, #ubuntu-bugs can help with that
cuddylier_: if iptables is running
Oh wait
How do I make it run?
lol
amayer_, sorry, I havent done you much good. Not sure why thats happening. Keep asking in here, or try the mailing list
can i ask a question ?
you just did
compdoc: thanks anyway
pls can anyone help me with using my usb on ubuntu linux, it keeps disconnecting after a few seconds when ever i connect
trism: no, but gnome-control-center doesn't start either
anyone have any suggestions on how to get it back up and working ?
ikonia Is there a command to start them or are they already running by default?
guntbert: doesn't start?
cuddylier_: look at iptables -L to see the status of your rules
jrib: The page you suggested tells me to run ubuntu-bug without a package name. After I fill out the questions I end up getting a statement "use ubuntu-bug <PACKAGE-NAME> to file a bug for the specific package."
does exist for ubuntu a program similar to plsql/developer ?
cuddylier_: you could just use ubuntu firewall as I stated earlier to keep this simple for you
melkor: what's your question?
ikonia It looked more confusing lol
Can you give me link again?
no
pls can anyone help me with using my usb modem on ubuntu linux, it keeps disconnecting after a few seconds when ever i connect
Hey guys.  Stupid multi-monitor question in 12.10.  I unplug my second monitor, and the windows that were on the second monitors becomes unreachable.  I can't move the mouse to alt-drag rescue them, and they don't get automatically repositioned.  How do I get them back?!
jrib: I want to file a bug because  my hd gets corrupted when I mount it in ubuntu.
melkor: you're still not asking a question...
lewq, good question.
lewq, I can describe a hack, but that would only work if you know how to program.
invariant: it's frustrating, because I have a lot of windows open, and then I want to change location to a place where I don't have a second monitor.
jrib: how do I file a bug when I don't know the package name.
jirib pls answer mine
babyswizz: wait a half hour or so, before repeating questions.  every 2 minutes is WAY too often, wait for different people to join/pay-attention ;)  best of luck.
lewq: that spread out view lets you drag them atiund i think
invariant: I'm a fairly advanced Python programmer, so hit me...
trism: on the second try it starts, with WARNING **: Could not load setting panel "activity-log-manager": Unknown error
dr_willis: which "spread out view"?
melkor: ah.  Well my advice would be to make a best guess.  Eventually it will be triaged to help pick the package.  #ubuntu-bugs may give you better advice though, check there.
lewq, you just want them to be moved to one monitor, correct?
dr_willis: do you mean expo?  Because that only lets me drag them around *before* I've unplugged the monitor.
hello
lewq, or do you want to remember the window positions?
codeblocks won't let me run my c code
permission denied error
pls can anyone help me with using my usb modem on ubuntu linux, it keeps disconnecting after a few seconds when ever i connect
pls help
guntbert: not preceeded by Could not find settings panel 'activity-log-manager' ?
ikonia If I enabled ubuntu firewall would it not block my ssh?
lewq, via wmctrl you should be able to do anything you want.
invariant: well, yes - I have multiple workspaces, I wouldn't mind the 11.04/Gnome2 behaviour of smushing them randomly and messily onto the first monitor of each workspace.  Remembering the window positions and moving them back smartly when I plug the monitor back in would be heavan.
er, heaven.  :)
cuddylier_: not if you set the rules
jrib: thanks, I am checking there atm.
ikonia But I can't if I enable it and my ssh gets blocked
lewq, you should send this in as a bug report.
guntbert: if so that is strange, maybe it is missing a dep
anybody can help me?
ikonia I only have ssh access as it's a dedicated server in a datacentre
lewq, and mark it as a feature request.
cuddylier_: you check the rules before you enable it
I want to allow all ports apart from ones I specify to be blocked
echo 1 | sudo tee /proc/sys/kernel/yama/ptrace_scope
cuddylier_: is this a VPS by any chance ?
lewq, not many people disconnect monitors, but for a layman GUI like unity, these things should work out of the box.
No, dedicated server
trism: (looks like I am too blind today for anything serious)  - it *is* preceded by "could not find" - did I make a typo?
lewq, if you want to do it by hand, you need to check udev for monitors going bye bye,.
Ikonia All ports are open currently as the host just opens them all like all hosts do
no one seems to have the answer to my problems
lewq, all the other information can be obtained via wmctrl.
invariant: quite a few people who have an external monitor also use their laptops in places which aren't their desk.  :)
i am a f***ing noob, and I want to run mi c code on codeblocks
cuddylier_: so setup ufu or iptables to manage the rules
cuddylier_: there is no need for that language
trism: Where should I put GLib.idle_add(Gtk.main_quit) in my application ?
What language?
cuddylier_: sorry- not you
cristian_: there is no need for that language
invariant: okay, tell me more... does wmctrl give me structured data about where each window is, and let me relocate them?  And udev will let me get an event for hotplugging the VGA cable?
:D
ok
trism: When I added it just before the part that changed gsettings configuraitons, the application disappears
guntbert: are you sure you installed activity-log-manager-control-center? apt-cache policy activity-log-manager-control-center; it provides both the .desktop file and the module
lewq, structured enough
help?
awaad: you don't need to add it at all in a gtk application, just run your application as normal
lewq, it will probably be around 50 lines of shell code.
permission denied error with codeblocks
trism: let me check again
awaad: though I'm sure your app already has a main_quit somewhere, maybe on the destroy callback?
i've google it, but i can't get it straight
invariant: can you point me at some code which uses the tools you described in a similar way?
lewq, wmctr has a manpage.
I'm reading it
lewq, wmctrl
lewq, I think it's documented good enough.
lewq, udev is your biggest problem.
hello?
is there anybody in there?
lewq, if you really care a lot about the problem, you should just start with udev.
just finished my hotplug audio switcher. man, that was a bitch.
1400+ people
hahaha and nobody helps me
invariant: I care about it enough to spend 30 minutes writing python to try and solve it.  And http://pyudev.readthedocs.org/en/latest/ is a thing.
lewq, it will take more than 30 minutes and if not, please send me private message.
uhhhh wow. i really screwed up my ubuntu install on a vps. not sure what to do about it now
lewq, nice library, though. I just always used the shell interface to it.
trism: sorry, I had only installed activity-log-manager (missed the -control-center part), now i have the privacy settings again - no idea how I lost them - thx for holding my hand :-)
Gallomimia: you could always reinstall...
Hey, I'm following this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows?action=show&redirect=RestoreGrub to fix GRUB, and when I run `sudo grub-install /dev/sdb` it says  "Cannot find  a device for /boot/grub, are you sure /dev is mounted?"
What should I do?
guntbert: no problem, glad it's working now
Gallomimia: but... how did you screw it up?
mang0: you haven't chrooted correctly.  there is a handful of mounts you need, for grub to work.
i think that's the best idea, but i'm thinking i'd like to try to fix it in another way
jrib the only thing i did was apt-get dist-upgrade
zykotick9: I have to chroot? Oh. I've got no idea what I'm doing then, I just followed ubottu's link...
What can you do when you hit a kernel bug on a remote VPS? Just remotely reset power? Can you also go into single-user mode to fix things, etc.?
invariant: wouldn't it be better to spend my time looking at how to patch Unity to fix my problem?  I'd be interested at least to see where the "what to do with window locations when monitor configurations change" code is.
also, it's 11.04 and i can't seem to run do-release-upgrade tdue to lack of ram
invariant: What I'm missing, of course, is any knowledge about the shape or structure of the underlying codebase.
Gallomimia: umm, wow.
invariant: there's usually a vnc/console access on vps's
lewq, that would benefit more Ubuntu users and it would probably be maintained then.
mang0: ubottu's link SHOULD work!  but you obviously don't have /dev mounted properly.  you can't just run this directly from a LiveCD...
Gallomimia: how much ram do you have?
invariant: do you have any insight into where/what the surrounding code is?
lewq, but ideally, there would be a library which does these things independent of the DE.
jrib: yes indeed. there were presented to me approximately 2 dozen config files which apt-get could not determine what to do with. i refused changes. the ram is... um 256 or less i think
what is the last version of ubuntu that has the gnome looking interface where you can move or hide the panels(like have both of them on the bottom)?
lewq, I have no special knowledge about Unity.
zykotick9: Would it be to much for me to ask for you to walk me through this?
GregMathis: 10.04 is only supported gnome2 ubuntu install... and only for a number of months!
Gallomimia: wait, so since do-release-upgrade couldn't run you decided to upgrade in a different way?
hi, rhythmbox keeps dying on my computer :( what can I do? is there a better or more stable player to try?
invariant: well if I were to write a standalone utility, it would be a Twisted daemon which maintains a representation of window locations, listens for udev events and then manipulates window locations accordingly.
mang0: sorry, i can't.  i'm not familiar with current ubuntu practises on the matter.  sorry.
no just upgraded as usual.
zykotick9, but what is the worst that means? the futurte apps wont work for it?
Gallomimia: what does "upgraded as usual" mean?
so e.g. if I unplug my monitor with firefox on screen 2, it moves it to screen 1, but then if I plug my monitor back in and I haven't moved firefox, it goes back to where it was on screen 2.
zykotick9: Bother. Okay, thanks, I'll try to find a decent guide!
zykotick9, or just that for gnome issues ill need to hit the #gnome channel instead of this one? what exactly about it is going ot be unsupported?
The sort of stuff I imagine works really well on a Mac.  ;)
GregMathis: when lucid support is dropped = you should stop using that install!  no security updates!
apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade i figured that only did standard upgrades and kernel updates
Gallomimia: what's in your sources.list?
if i wrote a script that I think a lot of people would find to be useful where could  I post it?
zykotick9, wow ubuntu is startingt to make me sad-
zykotick9, is there any dist that is what ubuntu used to be?
GregMathis: end-of-life is not an unusual concept for a software product.
GregMathis: ubuntu made me sad a long time ago ;)  debian...
Gallomimia: What is the problem with your ubuntu now?
it has no sshd running
invariant: I'll have a go with the udev library and wmctrl.  Thanks for your help.
in fact it wouldn't boot at all for awhile. i sent a ticket which isn't responded to yet but it boots
Gallomimia: so you cannot access it?
lewq, I guess you are right, just had what it is turning into - made grub a pita now you can't even customize something as simple as the panels?
i have console access
Gallomimia: so you cannot get sshd started? Is that the only problem?
Hello all. Is there a webmin type admin control center that runs via the command line? I guess something that uses ncurses.
GregMathis: you can share blame between ubuntu and gnome for that one...
GregMathis: try a different desktop environment... like xfce
zykotick9, i saw that short video of nelson mandela  on one of the ubuntu releases and rememebr thinking "i hope this isn't their lead programmer"
melkor i actually don't know. i would endeavor to discover why sshd won't start before forcing the issue
Gallomimia: you've not installed it ?
GregMathis: FWIW I've been highly ambivalent about the direction Ubuntu's heading in for some time.  I just tried 12.10 though and despite what I'm harping on about with multiple monitors, it's not actually that bad.  :)
that response i will unfortunately ignore
GregMathis: i agree with jrib, switch DE/WMs!  xfce is "closest" to gnome2, but a poor replacement IMO... best of luck.  i just dropped DEs altogether, and couldn't be happier - but that's just me, my needs are minimal.
Gallomimia: is sshd installed ?
Gallomimia: you could try starting it with service?
GregMathis: I've let go of my desire to add gnome-panel widgets now.  It's okay.  You can still run gkrellm if you want to.
melkor, ikonia these ideas are premature. i need to find out what caused the vps to freak out on me in the first place
lewq, i just want the top panel at the bottom
Gallomimia: yeah it's crazy wild checking if you've installed a package before complaining it won't start
http://howtoubuntu.org/how-to-repairrestorereinstall-grub-2-with-a-ubuntu-live-cd/ Following this guide now, when I got the chrooting in, I got an error upon running `sudo chroot /mnt`. The error says: Chroot failed to run `/sbin/bash` Exec format error. What's up?
lewq: gkrellm ftw ;)  old-school... but still cool (especial with the invisible theme)
Gallomimia: So what are you asking then? You claimed that your ubuntu install was messed up, but I don't understand how.
lewq, the unity code doesn't seem to be in very good shape.
that makes two of us.
GregMathis: try turning your screen upside down ;)
Gallomimia: There is dmesg, and syslog. They are backed up in logs.
lewq, there are no comments in the interfaces to say what the purpose is of the interface.
trism: In my application, I made a code based on Clipboard as you can see here: "http://paste.ubuntu.com/1354209/"
Gallomimia: There is also an apt log in there too.
lewq, tried it but it turned the text upside down also
invariant: hmm.  Oh well, some of my code is like that.
lewq, there doesn't seem to be a design document explaining how everything ties together.
trism: My code works when a word is selected any where.
is i shrink my root partition with gparted live... will i have to adapt fstab / grub?
invariant: I did find https://docs.google.com/document/d/1aHvJ-iIw-59bXTYBmIhQqEx0za2h9jpFE_RhZ2VOvJc/edit which was somewhat comforting.
all i know is it asked me for a great many configs to be diff'd possibly due to custom changes in the vps provider, and upon next reboot, there was a large spray of fecal material from a very fast moving fan
if*
i.e. someone's thought about it
lewq, i installed gnome-shell , tried logging in with gnome classic all of them dont do anything when you right click the panel -it's killing me
Gallomimia: /var/log has all sort of info.
anyway, gotta dash, it's pub o'clock - thanks invariant, GregMathis etc, it's been fun
trism: Is there any other method to make this code works only when a text is selected during pressing some key such as "CTRL" ?
GregMathis: I had the same reaction with 12.04.
lewq, yeah, that's good.
i'll see what i can figure out with that
lewq, talk about it in the pub at least
invariant: I'll let you know if I find time to fiddle with udev :)
lewq, see if anyone else is pissed about it
awaad: probably, might be more appropriate to the #python channel or maybe one of the gtk channels on the gnome irc (I don't know off the top of my head)
trism: Thanks very much for your help
Is there a webmin type admin control center that runs via the command line? I guess something that uses ncurses. Yast has one for Suse. Just wondering if there was an Ubuntu variant.
Gallomimia: Sounds like your vps provider used custom config files which you replaced with the defaults when it was updated.
no melkor, i declined the changes. can't imagine what the opposite would have done
Gallomimia: I've had this happen with grub.
Gallomimia: did you see my question about sources.list
Anybody seeing this when updating 12.04. Two of my machines are doing this:
nelson mandela, robert mugabe named distro makes me sad
The following packages have been kept back:   libavfilter2 libavformat53 libpostproc52 libswscale2
Gallomimia: because it seems kind of odd that so many configs would be updated at once for a normal upgrade
yes jrib. the list is very short
GregMathis: you're talking about something people where crying about a long time ago, you are late to the party ;)  ubuntu/gnome3/win8 all seem to be headed in a similar, little customization direction - "users are idiots" mentality.  if you want customization, go elsewhere.  try xfce!  it's closest to what you are use to - and with customization, you can make it look however you want...
the list of packages to upgrade was off the screen of a normal terminal
Gallomimia: what distro do they point to?
^release
zykotick9, screw it im going gentoo
natty
GregMathis: lol gentoo, (i used it for years)  enjoy the breakages ;)  roll-distro = non-stable
Gallomimia: can you show me the output of "uname -a" please
zykotick9, i was kidding because of it's rep for being hard to use
Linux key 2.6.18-274.18.1.el5.028stab098.1 #1 SMP Sat Feb 11 15:30:41 MSK 2012 x86_64 x8
6_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
el5
there we go
this is a pile of junk
Isnt that the exact same kernel as yesterday...? :)
bekks: yes
it's common
that is one old kernel :/
Gallomimia: what vps is this out of curiousity?
oh, it's the same guy who was inisiting "THIS IS UBUNTU"
ikonia: Thats what I meant ;)
nice of them to require in TOS to keep my box secure when the latest avail ubuntu image is 11.04
ikonia, hahaha
the company is called alienvps.com
Gallomimia: did you log a call with them the other day
as you couldn't get apt-get update to work
alien* where * = hosting,layer,...
apt-get update works fine. it's do-release-upgrade which doesn't work. out of memory error
Gallomimia: you won't be able to upgrade
Gallomimia: didn't we go through this a day or two ago ?
i remember talking about the memory error...
Gallomimia: are you on a mac ssh'ing into ubuntu ?
anybody has got the permission denied error?
well, normally yes but now it's a java applet giving console access
Gallomimia: didn't I tell you to log a call with your hosting provider ?
i don't remember. did you?
hang on I'll check if you where  the same guy
#linux-noob
:/etc/init.d# service ssh start
start: Job is already running: ssh
how odd.
Gallomimia: where you the user adaminsull
no
this is the only nick i use on irc
or a shortening of Gallo~
Gallomimia: ok, different person
Can someone answer this scenario for me ...http://paste.ubuntu.com/1354248/
Can someone give me a link to download Ubuntu 12.10 on my side mirror does not work :(
Gallomimia: basically a user had a similar problem, same bastardised version of ubuntu on a bad virtualizaion platform
Gallomimia: the only way you can do anything is log a call and ask you hosting provider to change things, but the bottom line is, the el5 kernel is too old too
Gallomimia: too much is provided from the hypervisor host, not enough from the guest
well doesn't seem they support 12.04 at all so i guess i'm SOL
Gallomimia: it's the price of having a terrible hosting provider
ikonia, did the other user that had lost his desktop files during upgrade find them again?
Gallomimia: there are other VPS providers
cloudy: nope, he was back here today
this one's super cheap. not worth paying more for what i want this for
cloudy: not that I'm aware of
oh god, how bad is unity...
Gallomimia: thats fine, cheap is not a problem if you are happy with the limitations
at $19 per year i ought not be picky
Gallomimia: you may want to ask them to do a reset back to default though
it's an..AUTONOMOUS gui.. it does unpredictable stuff ..
as I suspect your machine is now in a state
it switches workspaces,
yes indeed.
LucidGuy all what linux cares about is uid not the names
it changes focuses, it hides windows...
Can someone give me a link to download Ubuntu 12.10 on my side mirror does not work :(
check out this:
can i run  "grub-mkconfig -o ~/test.cfg"  safely for testing reasons?
# runlevel
runlevel:/var/run/utmp: No such file or directory
going back to a simple thing like Lubuntu or Xubuntu..
that's bad right?
LucidGuy you sould consider instaling nis or ladap
alabala: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Mirrors
What are we up to today?
Gallomimia: not massivly
guntbert, thanks
DarKMode, I agree .. but doesnt really answer my question.
perfectxireau: welcome to the ubuntu support channel
Thank you for the welcome. How is everyone doing today?
DarKMode, I would love to simply specific UID in the mount command, but it doesnt seem to be supported anymore.
LucidGuy yes Samba still takes the remotes client UID into
consideration
perfectxireau: Do you have an ubuntu support question?
Yeah, I do, but I'll let other people ask theirs first. You never know if mine might be asked.
DarKMode, Do you know if there is a way to stop that?
can i run  "grub-mkconfig -o ~/test.cfg"  safely for testing reasons?
Alright then fine. I've been trying to get flash to work with Ubuntu 12.04 since I upgraded from 10.04. I moved up to 12.10 and I still have issues with flash. It doesn't work well with certain apps that ask to store data on my computer. It gives the settings box, but I can't click on it at all. What should I do about it?
LucidGuy you have 3 option 1- give permitions to any body(big securitu hole)  2-change user uid (problem with local file )  3- install nis ldap server to manage the whole thing
perfectxireau: you don't need to use the ! when msging ubottu so using "/msg ubottu patience" would have worked (then look for a PM from ubottu)
Thank you zykotick9
i7c: yes.
perfectxireau: (sidenote) that was a well asked question.  fyi, flash has always been poor on gnu/linux... best of luck.
overclucker: thank you :)
Not quite zyko. Back on 10.04 it worked perfectly for everything I did. Even back on 8.04 when I joined the Ubuntu crowd it worked well. However, I don't understand what exactly it is about 12.04 and 12.10 that don't work well with flash.
perfectxireau, are you experiencing the situation where you can see the flash settings dialog box but clicking on any of its button doesn't do anything?
That is correct.
I to have had problems with flash
But i didnt say anything as i dont use ubuntu as my pirammary os
ikonia Got iptables working, it was blocking the ports on eth0 rather than eth1 which is my default.
Well, I realized it wasn't just me when my father, Longfist, and older brother Provinfistoris also had the issues.
h
perfectxireau, search the web for an adobe website that will produce those flash settings. If I can find them I will let you know
Thank you Cloudy. I'll do that.
perfectxireau, http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/de/flashplayer/help/settings_manager02.html
Sound doesn't work for my current user but does work for root ([sudo] speaker-test)
It was working previously
perfectxireau, sorry for it being in German
Don't worry about it. I'm from Berlin
perfectxireau, here it is English: http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager03.html
quidnunc: have you tried rebooting? i've seen other OS's where one user grabs the sound and won't let the other users get any access
has anyone used crossover to run WoW?
hello, good morning
Gallomimia: rebooting worked last time. Started the computer today and the problem reoccurred
thank you very much for your help cloudy. I'll be sure to run this by the rest of my friends in the Ubuntu world
hm. so we need a permanent solution
perfectxireau, my pleasure! :)
Gallomimia: Can you tell me if anything in ls -l /dev/snd is not root/audio?
quidnunc: no i cannot. i'm not on a ubuntu system right now and my ubuntu install is borked (and has no audio devices)
 Is there a webmin type admin control center that runs via the command line? I guess something that uses ncurses. Yast has one for Suse. Just wondering if there was an Ubuntu variant.
anyone running Ubuntu-Q and having trouble running glxinfo?
lloowen, i dont think it was there
lloowen: not that i'm aware of.  if you find one, let me know!  ... i don't think you will in the default repos...  if it's outside default repos, i'm not interested ;)
running WoW in a WinXP bottle on crossover and can't seem to log in, getting the prompt that my info is incorrect. i can log in fine on my win7 machine. any ideas?
duaned: by Ubuntu-Q do you mean Quantal Quetzal?  what video are you running ("lspci | grep -i vga" from terminal in unsure)?
I'm using adb (Android Debug Bridge version 1.0.29) on 12.04, with everything seemingly up-to-date.  Sometimes adb crashes, and I'm left with a defunct process.  Normally that wouldn't be a problem--kill the parent, init claims it and reaps it--but init just leaves it there after claiming it.
Since the program does quite a bit with USB, I figure that it might have some sort resource open, or is otherwise in a state that init thinks is unsafe to reap.
Aside from the obvious solution of fixing adb, is there any way to approach this problem?  I can't think of anything: I can't even attach to it with gdb.
(because it's not really running)
(Is there any way to forcefully close all USB resources, for example?)
Zenexer: Have you tried turning it off and on again?
The computer?  That works, obviously, but then it just crashes again a few hours later.
It wouldn't be a problem if it crashed at that frequency if it weren't for the fact that it won't start back up when the defunct process exists.
Or when whatever lock the defunct process has is taken.
Try killing the parent or a child process to the defunct process.
The parent is init
No children?
Nope
If I start up the process again with all debugging enabled, eventually I get this: system/core/adb/transport.c::readx():readx: fd=3 error 104: Connection reset by peer
You should talk to whoever made that program.
If no one answers.
Zenexer: Please pastebin the output of "ps aux". There is an important distinction between a zombie and a process stuck in an uninterruptible state.
There's an #android channel, too.
http://pastie.org/5368603
Well, #android is probably where I'll head if I try to fix adb.
This place is rarely helpful.
Haha
I was successful with my requests once or twice :)
Zenexer: I'd like the process state code, in STAT header, to be sure that it's 'Z' and not 'D'.
Sure
I've filed a bug report for an issue I've been having for a while. Let's see how that turns out. Probably removed or something.
Zenexer: That's all you get. :C
Says Zl
(pastebin coming in a moment)
http://pastie.org/5368622
how is it possible that the CommonName of the certificate is showing up differently on my browser than what I typed in for CommonName using make-ssl-cert, when setting up https for apache?
hello everyone
hello
Zenexer: Sounds like you are seeing something similar to https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/upstart/+bug/1077579 then, but please ask in #upstart if you should file a new bug report or simply add more information to the existing one (and please do one or the other, the more information we get the sooner it can get fixed).
who know, how can i install dial up modem in ubuntu 12.10 ?
Jordan_U: Thanks :)
Zenexer: You're welcome :)
this modem has motorola chipset
test
avatar_ you mean usb modem?
blackshirt: no, pci modem
why do you need that?
because it is only way to be online at countryside ;)
gnome ppp can`t make a connection
 https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DialupModemHowto
Jordan_U: Those cloned processes in curly braces from pstree -p... what are those, exactly?  Because I'm able to attach to the one associated with the defunct process with gdb.
Are those just individual threads?
leeeeeeroy mmmmmmmjenkins
Actually, I lied, gdb freezes.
how can I extract lzm compressed archives?
what's the feeling on the latest nvidia drivers for 12.10?
i've got 304.51 it would seem from the dpkg -l output, i see 304.64 up on their site, and 310.14 which seems to be some huge performance boosting optimisation release for high end cards
NET||abuse: the resume support is finicky at best, my 440 overheats to about 96 with minimal graphic push(flash)... but otherwise, I've never really fealt them
i've only an NVS 4200M on the lappy here.
NET||abuse: oh, dual monitor support requires manually setting it / unsetting it, if you unplug without modifying the config, it is quite fun to "unset" the dual monitor mode
tyler_d1: i'm finding that works really well for me, i unplug and it resets the desktop to single monitor resolution no problem...
how can I extract lzm compressed archives?
although i'm using a dock for that.
hello everyone. I am hoping I can get a little help with a problem I am having with Ubuntu Desktop 12.10
what is your issue?
guliy3v: http://lmgtfy.com/?q=ubuntu+lsm+extract   i'm sure that'll answer it for you
I installed the OS with little trouble, but It will not start on my computer, it just keeps crashing. If I take the hard drive out and put it in a different tower, it boots just fine.
thanks Ubottu I love you
I have noticed if I do not connect the monitor then I can get something to start, but when i hook it back up, then the system goes to shit
NET||abuse: what da..?!
is it possible to disable encryption or using a less cpu intensive?
my appologies
immortal618: i have modemdata.txt now
how can I extract lzm compressed archives?
guliy3v: Do you mean "lzma"?
bekks: nah. lzm
copy it to pastebin ?
guliy3v: Could you pastebin the output if "file yourfile.lzm"?
bekks: actually i compressed as lzma in linux, but my bsd converted it to lzm, i googled though, still confusing
guliy3v: Then it is lzma compressed, still.
how install knoppix iso into usb flash
guliy3v: And currently you are trying to uncompress it on BSD?
thanigai: Use unetbootin.
i am using ubuntu
http://pastebin.com/dFARQ4Hs here is modemdata.txt
reading about lzma at  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lempel%E2%80%93Ziv%E2%80%93Markov_chain_algorithm    ;) gotta love nerdy computer stuff.
avatar_: How about reading your own text file ;)
bekks: no, im on Ubuntu 12.04.1
I am guessing no one has heard of this issue before
Jordan_U,  i am using  ubuntu
guliy3v: Then use one of the lzma utilities to uncompress it.
dr_willis: thanks for the link
bekks: ? ;)
thanigai: That doesn't change my answer. Unetbootin is a program, which you can install with Ubuntu Software Center (or apt-get).
this is modemdata.txt file with modem details
Jordan_U, ok thank you .
Hi, I've got a samba problem. I'm trying to access a share from an anonymous user, but when I go into the share it shows as empty
thanigai: You're welcome.
bekks: since it should be recognized by ubuntu as a lzma compression, it could be available to extract from right-click directly, but it seems not to support, unrecognized?
guliy3v: That "recognition" is based on the file name extension.
guliy3v:  i just realized i dont understand welll much of anything at the link.. ;)
guliy3v: So just uncompress it using one of the lzma utilities.
from what i gather at the link. 7zip tools should handle it?
bekks: will this pci modem card run in ubuntu ?
dr_willis: i meant the further information on lzm algorithm, it's good to know )
avatar_: I have no clue. I never used modems like that.
hello people, is there a way to "restore" ubuntu wthout reinstalling it?I have some problems that I think should be ereased by the root(pun aside), now I don't have any virgin cd and my motherboard isn't usb-friendly, tl;dr anyway to restore all configuration and applications of that of deafult ubuntu?
where can i find drivers for motorola ?
finally figured out my initramfs issue!  It lets me rebuild my array... hopefully it will start working again after its rebuilt
sianhulo:  user apps/configs are in their home. easyally erased.. system configs can be harder..
i found this thread from forums, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=9419546..can i use squash-tools and anybody has an idea?
sianhulo:  the apt-get tools can purge/reinstall packages and their configs
guliy3v: You dont need the squash tools to uncompress a lzma archive.
bekks: man, you have never tried it, did you?
dr_willis, however, is there a way to know which packages were installed and which came with the system?
guliy3v: I am using lzma for years now. http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=lzma&searchon=names&suite=all&section=all
bekks: what about lzm itself?
sianhulo:  you mean installed by default? Not that i know of.. since each  variant (kubuntu/ubuntu/edubuntu and so on) has differnt defaults
guliy3v: Whats the output of "file yourfile.lzm" then?
sianhulo:  there may be some sort of apt log for whats been installed and when. but ive never seen one.
Hi everyone, I just switched to ubuntu 12.10 from Debian. I was using icedove for my mail, and now I have thrunderbird set up. How do I get my old mail messages and contacts from icedove into thunderbird? I tried copying .icedove to .thunderbird but that did not work
can i take a moment to vent about how inconvenient it is to fix a system using LVM from the live cd...that recommmend installing with LVM? who thought of this?
perhaps?
dr_willis, so.... the system itself doesn't know which packages came with the system?then it's kind of useless to me, thanks anyway
doctor williw, lzm is different then lzma
i think that first is a --  ;) the web site paste messed up
ses1984: If you'd like help with fixing said system, we can help you. But no, this is not a channel for venting, only productive support discussion.
dr_willis: your em dash is showing
I cant even find referance to lzm
guliy3v: Whats the output of "file yourfile.lzm" then?
i could extract it with --lzma or -xz flag in bsd
bekks: sorry, which output?
guliy3v: For the fourth time: "file yourfile.lzm"
Hi, I've got a samba problem. I'm trying to access a share from an anonymous user, but when I go into the share it shows as empty
bekks: im afraid i have no idea what you're talking about
the command 'file' shows info about a file....
guliy3v: "file" is a command, it takes a file as an argument and gives information about said file's type.
guliy3v: "file" is a command, avail in BSD too, which shows basic information of a file's content.
it means that my modem is bad for linux ?
avatar_:   totally dependss on the chipset its using for the most part
avatar_: The file you pasted is a pretty neat howto how to get your modem up and running.
i should try use alsa drivers ?
bekks: And just when we were about to make progress with guliy3v, netsplit :)
Hey how dors it call this http://imgur.com/yBRKl  effect ?

Jordan_U: The gods are against us.
bekks: i will read it again ;)
zatan_: Expose, though it might also have other names.
Jordan_U,  cheers
bekks: but really i don`t understand it
Jordan_U,  its not expo :)
hi o/ :)
all in all, what should i do to run this modem ?
It is okay to delete contents of /var/cache/apt/ as they are used for installing and not needed after that, no?
google chrome keeps freezing on me, so I guess the best thing to do is for me to reinstall it, any other suggestions?
okay, grazie

after you change it, run "sudo update-grub", in your terminal then reboot your computer.
logitech is preferred
I get a "unable to enumerate device" with this logitech C3XX
works in 12.04, but I am not upgrading
fireshibby: okay :)
synthmesc: trust
trust?
synthmesc: yeah hold on i have look on back of can
lolko: any hints as to why I'm getting an empty share?
we
synthmesc: that is 3th cam used on linuxmint from version 7 till 9 and it works with debian 5 and 6
i mean it works in ubuntu as well
synthmesc: trust: s/n 1005003170
synthmesc: they works out of box and are cheap
that would be nice if they sold them here
http://www.trust.com/w2b/ <- no USA
buy them off of ebay then as an alternative
fireshibby: any change ;/
I dont deal with ebay because they take a cut of the seller's cash
nashant: send me again on query
which increases the price to the buyer
lollko it didn't change?
no :(
thanks
hmm...
do you want lspci log?
or what

Hello. I really need some help please. I am able to go online and surf the internet, irc and download things when i run linux from the cd rom, BUT once I install it, it stops working within an hour after I install it.
I disabled ALL security from my router ( im on wireless)
and that still doesn't help
lollko i'll look into it more and see if i can find something
running an xfs_repair on my massive 40TB filesystem.  Anything else anyone would recommend?  Just want to make sure the fs is healthy.  Been having odd issues with it.
it works ALL THE TIME when im plugged in to the internet but not with wifi
and Guest72402 what version of linux are you on?
ubuntu and i also did mint and another one
they all do the same thing
they work for an hour then stop going online
what version of ubuntu?
not sure. the newest one. I just downloaded it yesterday
Guest72402, if you download stuff, it keeps in memory, so if you run out of memory, this happens
it's my computer memory?
I dont think thats the problem, i think it's the wireless card he's talking about
yea my wifi cuts out after about an hour of use
no matter what distro
What computer do you have?
HP g60
why would the internet cut out after working for an hour? I installed linux around 6 times and it does the same thing time after time
Hello guys.
It's working right now ONLY BECAUSE i'm on the cd rom
It seems others are having the same problem with the same computer running ubuntu
does anyone know why the connect to tracker through proxy option is missing in transmission 2.52A?
does anyone know why the connect to tracker through proxy option is missing in transmission 2.52?
it has a hard wireless switch, right?
think so
you think my memory or something gets full and thats why the wifi cuts out after an hour "till i reinstall the distro" ?
Guest72402, this might help, i'm not too positive how to direct you personally http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?s=f37cfe491fe20eecb8e65367498e92ed&t=1604665&page=2
fireshibby i'll try that
do you think it has to do with my memory?
Guest72402 no, that would only happen when running a live cd. Installed ubuntu should not influence
* OerHeks missed that part
No no Guest72402, it has to do with your wireless switch on the computer itself. I had the same problem on my laptop with Hackintosh
hmm. why do you think that after an hour "when it's installed" it stops working online?
Oh. how did you fix it?
i'm a newbie
guys is it safe to replace rhytmbox with audacious? ubuntu 12.04 here
thanks
For me, i didn't, because it's a pain to when installing Mac OSX on a non-Apple laptop.
do you run live cd to keep it working?
does anyone know why the connect to tracker through proxy option is missing in transmission 2.52?
I personally don't know when it comes to linux. If i had the same problem i'd be able to guide you through. I'll keep searching for a solution though
is it possible to have someone log onto my computer and check out the settings or something?
so quick question, with the amd catalyst driver 12.10 my graphics card is always on in integrated mode (power saving) even when playing games, stressing the hardware, --px-dpgu doesnt change it, performance is terrible
na ja
AzureX i have the same problem on my laptop. It's terrible. I just installed Gnome 3
i had it working earlier but cant remember how i fixed it
probably some settings in the catalyst control panel. I was personally too lazy and missed the old gnome interface
attempts to load the driver manually
good night
so I've just installed 12.10 and nvidia-current or nvidia-current-updates do not work at all. They were working on my previous install of 12.04. The only thing different is that I install an SSD hard drive and the latest Ubuntu release. What can I try to fix this?
is there anywhere I can find a list of recent ubuntu updates ?

having permissions problems with ubuntu server, trying to get /var/www to let me create files...or atleast move them to that dir but it's not letting me
If you use Ubuntu 12.04 install gnome-panel
bluefox83, are you familiar with linux permissions?
bluefox83, have you tried it with sudo mv?
blackshirt: yeah, but i'm kinda crummy at using them...
cloudy: if i need sudo...then it kind of defeats the purpose...
i'm trying to set it up so i can put files there with my ftp program

Hi, I'm pretty new to ubuntu, and I'm running it on a mac. I'm trying to change the keyboard settings, and am being directed by this guide:https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AppleKeyboard However, I don't have permissions to edit fnmode in sys/module/hid_apple/parameters. I am logged into a user the is in sudoers, but I don't know how to get permissions. do I have to log as root to edit this?
jrogge: whatever the command is preface it with sudo.. so to edit a file = sudo /sys/module/hid_apple/parameters
okay, so I have to do this through terminal. I was trying to do it through the ubunut file manager (ubuntu explorer? what ever the default is)
jrogge: however are you running ubuntu in a VM? or have you replaced the iOS on your MAC?
I have it as a seperate partition on my mac
bluefox83, do you know how to check the owner of /var/www ?
jrogge: you can do it through the file manager but you have to start it from terminal.. gksudo nautilus
or!! ALT + F2 > gksudo nautilus and yeah =)
jrogge: actually.. from terminal it's sudo nano /path/to/file
bluefox83, add your ftp user to www-data group, and give them appropriate access
blackshirt: i actually did that already...
Rizon: I forgot about alt+f2.. thought that was only on kde systems (what I run ;)  )
btw how to i check to see what the ftp user is, it should be my username right?
What is the general channel?
*do
thank you, that worked

there needs to be one simple way for me to set up a website from my local network on my local ubuntu server box...
bluefox83: sure.. wanna code it yourself? or use something like Joomla?
scared: either you hit the mirror at a bad time (in the middle of an update) or it is a bad mirror, try again in a few minutes
Scunizi: i'm pretty sure i got it up an running already (apache2) but the directory isn't letting me add things properly...
and i have no idea why :/
how do i add a user to group www-data?
bluefox83, are you upload it with ftp client ?
adduser <user> www-data
bluefox83: adduser <user> www-data
blackshirt: yeah i can actually move it to another directory...just not the website dir
bluefox83: you must be root
bluefox83: in what way?
I just did a clean install of 12.04LTS.  Now I cannot install DeVeDe.  it says the version of libavcodec-extra-53 should be 4.0.8.4.  the most recent version is 4.0.8.3, according to sourceforge.  How do I either get the real latest version, or force Ubuntu not to uninstall half my programs when I switch form libavcodec53 to libavcocec-extra-53?
bluefox83, actually, i mean moving it with mv command or with ftp to upload your files to that dir ?
well i have a dir in my home dir called ftp i can ftp to it, drop the files in there, and everything is fine...i just can't move the files to /var/www
bluefox83, commonly sudo was enought to tackle them
bluefox83: to add a user to anther group.. go to that group in "settings" and do it there.  You'll see the users listed and put a tic mark next to the one you want.
Basil1x: what says?  What did you execute *exactly*?
Scunizi: i'm working on a server, not desktop >.>
bluefox83: ah.. sorry.. forgot . hang on.
bluefox83, yes,that true... /var/www was under root controls
blackshirt: yeah, was
i made my user owner
complete owner
you can,t upload to it with normal user
of the directory and everything in it
and i still can't cp or mv anything to it
i keep getting this error
E:Encountered a section with no Package: header, E:Problem with MergeList /var/lib/apt/lists/ubuntu-archives.mirror.nexicom.net_dists_precise-updates_main_i18n_Translation-en, E:The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened.'
unless i use sudo, which is rediculous
how do i change the mirror
scared: go to software center->edit->software sources
jrib: the Software Center will not allow me to install the software I had on my system up until yesterday when my HDD died.  it uninstalls half my programs when I try to install DeVeDe.  the reason is the version of libavcodec-extra-53 in the repository is too low.  There is no higher version I can find.
i removed some libs belongs to ffmpeg while installing MobileMediaConverter after adding medibuntu repo due to package break. how to get ffmpeg back?
Basil1x: use apt-get and pastebin
bluefox83: sudo user add -G group-name username
bluefox83: sorry .. sudo useradd -G group-name username
Scunizi: please don't advise that
bluefox: whe ni open up the software center it says  FAILED TO LOAD PACKAGE LIST
bluefox83: don't run that command
Scunizi: thanks, i've already accomplished that much
jrib: why not if you want to add your user to www-data?
Scunizi: well first of all, your command doesn't do that
E:Unable to synchronize mmap - msync (28: No space left on device), E:The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened.
jrib: ok.. so correct me if I'm wrong.. give him the right way to do it.
gawd, the stuff i go through to test my html homework D:
Scunizi: you're probably thinking of usermod.  But using usermod in the way you advise will remove your user from all other groups.  He already was given the right way: adduser USER GROUP
scared: free up some space?
scared: your partition is out of space most likely
jrib: http://pastebin.com/Z84QDzhs <--- I do notwant these removed
jrib: ok.. I stand corrected. thanks for showing me where I was wrong.
so like i said guys, i added my user to the www-data group and it didn't fix anything...
Scunizi: it's often the reason you see people end up without sudo access here (they remove themselves from the admin or sudo group) :P
bluefox83: what are you trying to accomplish?
jrib: moving a file into /var/www with regular user privs
without sudo >.>
bluefox83: ls -ld /var/www/
Basil1x: looks like you are using a lot of ppa's
I put most of those on to try to resolve the problem, jrib
bluefox83: sudo chown <your user> /var/www
drwSrwSrwx 2 bluefox bluefox 4096 Nov 12 19:23 /var/www/
Basil1x: erm...
bluefox83: whats with the permissions there
you got me O.o
bluefox83: are you just trying things at random?
bluefox83: chmod 755 /var/www
jrib: for a while i did, yeah...
jum got lost :/
shouldn't that have a -R ?
hi people, i would install the latest catalyst driver for my ATI RV350, the 9.3. how can i do it on ubuntu 12.10?

Scunizi, not sure what you mean.
is there a way to set my dns servers via command line, not via the etc/resolv but some other way?
after i initiate a vpn via command line, i need to set my dns servers
since its via command line, i cant use the vpn tab in network connection manager
SMUXI works well for me
dijonyummy: and why not use /etc/resolv?
Basil1x: would take some more investigating to figure out the exact issue.  I don't have time right now.  If no one else can help at the moment, just accept and then try to re-install the things you want (like vlc) to see if you can gain some further knowledge.  You'll probably have to check out conflicts and such (apt-cache show).  It could be because of medibuntu, if you want to disable that and downgrade
whatever packages you have from there.
Hi, when does a process step into sleep state?
because in ubuntu, it gets overriden
dijonyummy: because of networkmanager?
hmm, yeah
Thanks
dijonyummy: I have in the past uninstalled network manager and manually setup the connection.  For a static system that's ok and it would make it easier to change via vpn
is there a way to change emesene so that it doesn't show me as invisible at startup?
ok thanks i'll look at that link!

hi people! does enyone here uses zram on ubuntu?
WhereIsMySpoon:  also check out 'tmux' and 'byobu'  =  byobu is the easiest to learn
Really? The Ubuntu 12.10 Desktop Edition ISOs are ~50MB too large for a CD?
elninja:  they are for dvds now
actually, it exists in ubuntu 12.04.  Its zram-config
strange, i cant seem to do anything with screen
im doing commands, but it says "cannot exec"
http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2012/09/its-official-the-ubuntu-livecd-is-dead
WhereIsMySpoon:  normally you just run 'screen' and it gives you a new 'shell' with extra features
WhereIsMySpoon:  same for byobu, or tmux.
ah
i was doing stuff like screen "blah stuff etc"
if you wan tto use screen you WILL want to spend some time learning it
as if it was a program
as i said byobu is easier to learn/use
byobu is a  tweaked screen or tmux setup to be more user/beginner friendly  look
Yeah, I'm just bitching because I'm too lazy to look for a blank DVD or USB drive.
elninja:  the server edition aparently still fits on a cd.
hm, screen seems to fit what i want to do
i think lubuntu may also fit on a cd.. need to verify that
Looks like 12.04 does too, and I can always upgrade from there.

trying to mount an iso. its a fairly old iso from windows, so i % sudo mount -f fat32 -o loop blahblah.iso /mnt/blah. all i get is a bunch of instructions and information on mounting back from the terminal, and it did not seem to mount anything. any help?
great
why passing fat32, just passing-o loop i think it was enought
cherr: it's mount -t etc
cordyceps so i start my line with mount -t then the rest of what i had?
 oh, and vfat for f32
ahhhh
ok
what should be the return from terminal if it is a successful mount?
cherr, nothing error return
Just checks your mount pount
nothing IIRC, then ls to see the files
thanks guys
point
i'm trying to get syslog to log messages to my console,
but i'm having no success
hmm, so sudo mount -t -f vfat -o loop blahblah.iso /mnt/blah

what's the -f for?
-t means file type
don't i need that to tell it the filesystem?
oh
-t
lol
no -f
question
cherr, -o loop was enought for iso files

ImTheDude:  depends on what you mean by a 'radio program;

Don't you get the feeling of being on a poor mans Linux distribution? Like, welfare Linux distribution?
apt-cache search radio stream    shows several

yes.....
or use the package manager tools to search for what you want.

dr_willis, The latest stable 3.5 version of the Linux kernel is: 3.5.7 (EOL)

Greetings, I am running pinguyos (which I'm pretty sure is ubuntu 12.04)  I run it  t  work where I have limited internet access (certain firewall rules block certain traffic)  When I try to upgrade I get the broken header error which I'm told is caused by repo's getting blocked then my upgrade fails.  My question is...Is there a way to get the upgrade files from another PC and then run it on my work PC?
12.10 can't even run smoothly in a vm
this is a disaster
frank:  pinguy  its own support rooms/channels. .   You can upgrade with a 12.10 cd/dvd BUT from what ive seen in the past you dont upgrade Non-ubuntu variants using the ubuntu media. it can break things badly
ahhh thank you I appreciate the help.  Thats good to know
frank:  of course i really dont see much need for pinguy any more. i played with it in the past.
but trying to do relase upgrades from pinguy, or other variants can  be prone to failure
I like all the desktop pomp and circumstance.  I was an Ubuntu UE fan but it seems to be getting sloppy
UE?

Question... I am fixing to do an install on a virgin hard drive... The laptops old hard drive and OS was Windows 7 64-bit... I am putting the newest version of Ubuntu on it.. Should I go with the 32 bit version or the 64 bit version?
is it a usb stick?
yes
Ben64, Yes, that is best, thanks for the advice, but my question remains
oh. that sucks
MrCrumbs: depends if you have a 64 bit processor 64
it is a 64 bit... i believe lol... AMB A6
AMD*
back in the day i had a usb homepna adapter (phoneline networking). could never get it to work on linux
dr_willis: those were all media players
MrCrumbs:  i tend to always use 64bit os on 64bit hardware.
It would be great if I could get it going.  Upgrades would be easy then.  No damn firewall or webfilter to deal with
ImTheDude:  i use tunapie to listen to shoutcast radio streams all the time.. Im not sure what exactly you are looking for.. use the software center and package manager tools  search feature to look for wha tyou want.
That's what my gut was telling me.. A buddy suggested to use the 32 bit.. I figured I would ask the Ubuntu gods :P
hi im getting some really funky "artifacts" all over (video), if i push my mouse over certian thing sin ecipse, the ubuntu software center, images / text get jumbled pretty badly (like white noise), but eventually it comes back to normal and does it again. i tried to screenshot it but the screenshot is turning out okay. not sure else how to explain it?
MrCrumbs:  i dont see much reason to stick to 32bit on 64bit hardware these days
the last plausible reason I saw to stay on 32 bit was flash player
but that has worked on 64 bit for quite some time now
with  the flash-video replacer and downloader plugns.. ;) i rarely even need flash these days.
Ben64: eol for almost a year now...use html5 or stop visiting crappy sites
frank, have you tried ndiswrapper?
I know that Linux Mnt 13 didn't work worth a crap on it.. 32 or 64 bit
night all...
morning dr_willis
Does Ubuntu do formats on virgin hard drives?
infact i even tried arch linux and i was getting the same issue, im wondering if it could be a video driver problem? the initial install everything seemed okay.
* Laice has just learned to love Guake and Irssi
anyone know?
yes MrCrumbs
it'll format a virgin drive, if you mean a 'fresh out of the box' drive.
MrCrumbs yes you can

just audio files? or audio/video files?
One (1) ok?
a/v files as far as I know, dont know how only audio files would lose sync
does youtube act up in this manor?
nope
sounds like VLC is to blame, try mplayer, or update VLC from source if its old.
well maybe if I played something long wnough
explain.
well most of sync issue happens after about 12 -20 mins
wew,maap,ada perlu
most utube videos are only 9 mins long
oh...
test mplayer and see if it does this, does it do this when you seek forward 15+ mins?
never tried just was looking for an answer to fix since  I assumed lots of ppl here use vlc
I use mplayer.. :P
google doesnt seems to have any relevant answers
VLC has always had issues for me..its never worked right for me.
i believe im going to play some COD-MW3..later fellas.
Try running ubuntu on 16K ram. :P
16K or 16G?
Getting back from KDE to XFCE! :)
greats kamelot314
Blackness, 16K
wow. 16K is old
Ik
update ;)
jesus, and i thought my 1g was getting old
my server is 16G, my notebooks are 4G :P
It's another box that has not seen the light of day since the 90s, which was before I was born
you were born after 2000?
why would you setup a server on specs that old?
thats not a matter
Cherr, actually, late 1999, but still
lol i see. why even bother with a box that old?
Blackness, it can run DOS fine
Cherr, idk
lol
I got bored.
It takes tapes o.o
well, DOS was running fine on my 286 bakc in the time
with only 4k of memory
linux too ...
yup!
But was it made in the 90s
you should try Blackbox or any lightweight Windows Manager first!

i need help unistalling a application from ubuntu
do you want to do it from the command line or through the ubuntu software center?
Terminal --> sudo apt-get remove (package name)
ubuntulearner, you can do it with a lot of ways
GUVCViewer is the app i would like to unistall. This package name is not listed in the package list
ubuntulearner, where do you installed it from ?
blackshirt i installed it through software center
if you install it from main repository through software center, you should find them
when i tried "sudo apt-get remove guvcviewer" it shows unable to locate package
ubuntuLearner: You probably meant guvcview.
wow, ubuntu-tweak flipped my mouse :x
when i run the above command it sows "event not found"
ubottu , blackshirt on running the command it shows "event not found"
Any good non-gnome/kde gantt chart programs?
blackshirt any other means i can uinstall?
quit
when i trying to install new apps, it shows waiting for apt-get to exit. what can i do?
green_16: annoying isn't it
green_16: the updater sometimes puts it in use
i don't know what's going on....any solution?
green_16: I just reboot the box or you can find the prowess using it and kill it
how?
green_16: ps -a
or top
it like this, PID TTY          TIME CMD
 8687 pts/2    00:00:00 ps
ps -A
it gives a list of everything running
is there a 10.04.4 netboot image somewhere? i want to try something out.

Hi there. Universal USB installer is showing tens of hours remaining on the 7zip phase when I try to put the Ubuntu 12.10 ISO on my flash drive. It's transfering at only a few KB/s. Anyone know what's going on?
daxter release.ubuntu.com = 404
oldreleases.ubuntu.com
iirc
also 404
frankko, try this http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/netboot/
Is there a way to set the screen coordiance for an at when you launch it? (like as part of the terminal command)
aha...
old releases ubuntu.com frankko
dormito, that one is 10.04, not 10.04.4 but perhaps oh well
frankko: its updated to 10.04.4, thats how LTS releases are
er add .4 to the 10.04 part of ink
link*
Daxter, the links says last altered 2010,23 april.
here: http://releases.ubuntu.com/10.04.4/
i have trouble booting the 10.04.0 release it seems
Daxter, no netboot/mini.iso there either...
yeah dont think ubuntu akes netboot images
makes*
think thats a debian thing
what trouble you have booting?
i think the optimus crap in my laptop does not like something in the boot process
Daxter, i have found plenty of netboot images though for ubuntu for all major releases. Just not found the point releases.
Daxter, like in here: http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/lucid/main/installer-i386/current/images/netboot/
darn they do make em
i stand corrected
im building pnmixer, and im getting these errors, any help? checking for alsasound ... no, configure: error: alsa not found
blackness: is alsa sound installed?
should be, i have the command alsa.
i will try again.. maybe i get luckier
alsa-driver cannot be found.
blackness: you probly need alsa-devil if.your.compling
blackness: you dont have a proper alsa sound configuration
no such package.
almoxarife, explain in detail please..
my sound works perfectly. just cant compile (obmixer/pnmixer)
blackness: lets assume 'alsa' is installed, purge it and re-install it
the Dev package
which alsa: /sbin/alsa
blackness: are you using 'synaptic'?
no, apt-get
How can I change the theme or modify it in 12.04 Gnome Classic? Nothing I do seems to change anything.
blackness: no the package
package manager broken from 12.04 to 12.10.
almoxarife: he's compiling he probly need the Dev package
no. im not using synaptic
blackness: are you compiling?
yes.
blackness: forge4t everything i said
what package is the devel for alsa-sound?
blackness: compiling also because?
alsa
im not compiling alsa..im compiling pnmixer.
https://github.com/nicklan/pnmixer/wiki is what im building.
blackness: add 'dev' is usually a good bet, but i am guessing, it depends on the error shown
E: Unable to locate package alsa-dev
libasound2-dev
thats it?
should be
how did you find that?
and yes, that was it ;)
yay
blackness: you are compiling an applet?
yes almoxarife i gave you a URL to what im building.
blackness: yes, been there, sounds great, good luck with that
blackness: I found it by "apt-cache search alsa | grep -i dev"
it worked perfect, bye bye gnome-sound-applet
:)
there, my learndrop now has it saved..

hello
Daxter, i will try updating the boot iso file with my custom 3.6 kernel.
any ideas why im getting a daily upgrade of boot-repair?
is hulu desktop broken for ubuntu 12.4
:)
what is the preferred way to install the nvidia propitary drivers in ubuntu? apt-get install nvidia-current?
niriven: yes
almoxarife: weird though it iddnt work in 12.10 unless i installed linux-headers-generic first, is this expected?
niriven: there are two headers for the kernel, installed both?
i do windows batsh ,is scripting in lunix hard to learn?
almoxarife: no installed nvidia-current first, rebooted, unity didnt load, read online, apt-get install kernel-headers-generic, reinstall nvidia-current, everything worked.
niriven: i have always included the headers with ubuntu kernels, so i cant say
niriven: it worked, thats what counts :)
almoxarife: true, thanks :)
 i do windows batsh ,is scripting in lunix hard to learn?
FiReBloodPhoeniX, not especially, although the two are very different
also maybe dumb question, any idea whats being 'tracked', the privacy tab says emails, images, etc.
jap i see the file system to start off is very different
well yeah, windows and linux are horses of a different color for sure
niriven: tracked via a web browser?
almoxarife: not sure, under privacy i have an option to turn off "do not record activity for" things like vidoe, email, website, messaging, etc. wonder what that means.
how can i track an error from a program that force closes as soon as i click it
afklinguist: run it from terminal
i can put commands in the konsole... but i have no idea how to make scripts and run them,id probably Google it
look up shell scripting
FiReBloodPhoeniX ^^
niriven: where do you see that option?
12.10, press the windows key, type privacy, theres a tab called files.
DaveR: Thanks
Im off to Water my Windows 8 :-D See l8r
where is xorg.conf located on a default install? (12.10)?
niriven: sounds like desktop option to keep some of your pers info from being recorded
blackness: doesn't exist til you generate it
blackness: it should be in /etc/X11/xorg.conf when you do
ahh thanks m8
no prob
brb
Does Ubuntu 12.10 include Kernel 3.3 or is it still on 3.2?
Howdy? Any clue how to know the application version on Ubuntu Software Center? Thx.

I cant get dash home to work properly. Anytime I open it, it goes completely bonkers and ends up crashing ubuntu. All I get after i try to open anything in dash home it gives me a yellow screen then a bunch of text and then flipflops between the two.
my whole ubuntu partition has vanished (received grab rescue error, gparted on live cd does not show my ubuntu partition and my /home instead unallocated space) advanced help needed.
any Ideas of the problem aeon?
I was about to install virtualmin using the downloaded install script, but the installed shows a list of supported sytems, and it did not included Ubuntu 11.10, which is what I have
oddly, it skips that version and says it supports 12.04 LTS
is there no chance if using the installer on my server?
my whole ubuntu partition has vanished (received grab rescue error, gparted on live cd does not show my ubuntu partition and my /home instead unallocated space) advanced help needed.
i just checked at it is still scrobbling to LastFM so hopefully the install is still progressing even though there is just the luminous screen that was introduced first with the Unity desktop... this is why i upgrade OS only when i bloody have to :-D
somebody recommends me a kind of autocad for ubuntu 32 bits ??
hi
I change mouse sensitivity, and it become too slow, so I want to use defaults but I cant do it
:D
12.10
afklinguist, did you try updating your system? sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
help me?
has anyone ran the virtualmin install script on Ubuntu 11.10 server?
how to use defaults of Mouse settings?
Yakut: Are you unable to turn the sensitivity back up?
now to find more openbox tweaks..
heh
So... my .gvfs moved :P  I'm used to moving files about from the cmdline into / out of .gvfs.  I noticed some other changes to the filesystem layout, so, where's nautilus mount (s)ftp stuffs?
In 12.10.
yakut, go back to mouse sensitivity and change it (there is no default button) play around.
yakut, go to dash and search for "settings". click on mouse.
Gerowen> Yakut: Are you unable to turn the sensitivity back up?" now then I change sensitivity - it cant be slow or speedy
it slow forever
_)
yakut, same here, the mouse slider does not apply the change.
That's weird, I haven't messed with mine so I guess it hasn't affected me.
I change Mouse Speed - it works (upper sensitivity), but Mouse Sensitivity not works
I move the slider nothing happens
is it a bug?

hhhzzzarn, sounds like your /home became inactive..
ext4 bug?
blackness, I had xubuntu 12.10. I changed the grub file (the option to choose which entry by default from 0 to 4, 4 being windows 7). Run 'sudo update-grub'. Restarted later.
blackness, sabot, then encountered the windows recovery partition which I cancelled, then restarted again.
has anyone ran the virtualmin install script on Ubuntu 11.10 server?
I'm trying to find out if it's safe or if it's better to try installing it all manually
blackness, sabot, then it went to grub rescue. I run ubuntu 12.10 live cd, gparted to findout the sda number for my ubuntu partition. Both my / ubuntu partition and my /home are missing and instead i have unallocated space
Didn't there used to be settings for running actions when you mouse to the corner of the screen?
hhhzzzarn: let me guess... your hdd is multi-booting?
sabot, I had windows 7 (3 partitions) and ubuntu (another 3 partitions, / and /home/ and swap)
hhhzzzarn: let me guess... so windows 7 kills your graub2?
does anyone know the code to download the photoshop equivelent for ubuntu?
Is there a way to get sensors info on the panel?
Tobias1983: have you tried gimp?
no
sabot, after I restarted my computer after 'sudo update-grub'. The computer automatically went to 'acer recovery manager' parition. But I cancelled it. It might have cause the ubuntu parition along with grub files to get hidden or removed?
do you know the code to dl it aeon-ltd
Is it as good as photoshop?
Tobias1983: search for it in the software center
Tobias1983: sudo apt-get install gimp
my software center isnt working currently its errorining out
what error
Tobias1983: it's UI is different, but i'd say yeah it's pretty good.
E: Package 'gimp' has no installation candidate
Sweet i been using photoshop for like 6 years will be interesting to use something different.
sabot, either that recover manager removed my ubuntu parition / with /home even thought I cancelled it and restarted the computer. Because i did nothing else to have cause the ubuntu parition and /home paritions (both ext4) to have been removed.
hey how do i open this into a document? /etc/apt/sources.list
noob
sabot, what do you suggesT?
isnt it gtsk?
hhhzzzarn: kill yourself? just kidding
Hey, so I was wondering, what do I do with source code? I was told its there to make the program and add any changes to the program you want, how do you install from SC?
Tobias1983: there are many text editors. you could probably use "gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list"
tobias1983: sudo gedit /etc/apt or sudo nameoffileeditor /etc/apt/...
Tobias1983: it seems you are having a lot of problems with things, you should work on fixing them first
sabot_: don't say that kind of stuff here
thanks i always have issues with fixing gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list is there somehting that i coul read to help me understand this better?

can I run 32bit Ubuntu apps on 64bit Ubuntu?
Yakut: yes
Yakut, yes
i am guessing that 'synaptic' would be too simple a solution
Release:	12.04
hes using precise..but that deb line looks wrong..
but I listened that before running 32bit I will install some special libs
no?)
Tobias1983: ok then you need to replace your sources.list with a non-broken one
blackness, sobat, I am going to go ahead and recover the lost ext4 paritions with testdisk.

ok
wow really

there you go Tobias1983 build your own, or let package-manager do it for you.
thanks ben64
Tobias1983: simplest way to look at your sources.list is to 'sort' it, then look at the mess
easier to just replace it all
he needs a new one.
his is thrashed.
wishart, you can use the info command in apt-get http://askubuntu.com/questions/133456/can-i-uninstall-and-reinstall-ubuntu-software-center
WishArt: scroll down, the version is there
wishart, not listed in that link but tells you the packagename for the ubuntu software cetner
Oh I missed it, sorry & tyvm hhhzzzarn
wishart, I thought you wanted to know the application version for the ubuntu software center itself? or the application available through the software center?
so is it better if i just copy ben64 sourclist or generate my own?
how do you enable 'water effect' on ubuntu 12.10?
The application :) For example GIMP version that available on software center.
Tobias1983, i always generate my own..
then again, if you use his, you use the repos he's enabled aswell.
i just click all the apps i have on my comp? and then i generated it
WishArt: scroll down, the version is there
I copy what it made into my sourcelist and save?
wishart, oh, go to application like gimp, scrolls down to the information section, it is written there.
Building your own gives you complete control over that via web-gui etc.
yes
wishart, just above the comments.
silverlight doesn't work on ubuntu does it?
I mean it doesnt look like the sourcelist i have though
blackness: not with drm
drm?
yeah, drm
what is drm?
wishart did you find it?
Yup, got it. Thanks for your advice. It's weird, said GIMP 2.8 is available on software center but it's still 2.6
...
i just installed a bunch of updates and rebooted like it asked me to. logged in and all i can see is wallpaper, how do i start diagnosing the issue? (12.04)
its segmented into 3 groups which part do i copy into source.list? blackness
Tobias1983, hang on.
Yes I do, hhhzzzarn. Thank to you :)
wishart, I have gimp 2.8.1 listed in my ubuntu software center. I have ubuntu 12.10
i can copy what it gave me to pastebin if you want
Ben64, i dont study abbreviations
wishart, run 'sudo apt-get update' command through terminal
I'm using ubuntu 12.04
it's been in the news and in popular lexicon for years
Ok, right awat hhhzzzarn. Tyvm :)
Tobias1983, http://paste.ubuntu.com/1354829/

wiiw, might want to try, http://askubuntu.com/questions/149346/how-to-uninstall-java6
wiiw: looks like you are hitting blanks trying to download, look at the responses from the dwnld lines
his download isn't the right file.

he can fix this by downloading that file manually and placing it in /var/apt/cache (i believe)

wishart, if you every deleted a file/folder/partition by mistake, use "testdisk". Most usefull program when the time comes.
Wow, that's new trick too for me hhhzzzzarn. Ty
blackness: without download the file manually , have any other ways ?
uhm. did that url hhhzzzarn posted work?
blackness: the url is not exist

hang on wiiw
wiiw, did you install this VIA the webupd8 ppas?

wiiw, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=11821814 follow this one.

pigeonor_: ls /var/lib/dpkg/info|grep php-pear | pastebinit
@blackness, i tried that, nothing happens
sudo apt-get install pastebinit
do that then..you dont have pastebinit installed.
pigeonor_: do you have 'pastebinit' installed?
:)
next time im doing: sudo apt-get install pastebinit; ls /var/lib/dpkg/info|grep package|pastebinit :P
debian in #debian pigeonor_
http://paste.ubuntu.com/1354857/
now i get that
oh, hes stuck..moment.
pigeonor_: ls /var/lib/dpkg/info|grep php-pear, paste the results by hand please.
blackness, feel free to support him in #debian
i cant help him here since ubuntu is based off debian?
correct
wow.
pigeonor_, ill goto #debian, go there and ill continue
im in debian now if that is how it has to be
blackness: more importantly, ask yourself why he cant get help on his own channel
this is ubuntu support only.
if they dont offer it, then what is he supposed to do?
blackness: sucks to use debian?
 /join #debian pigeonor_ blackness
if i were him, i'd goto ubuntu myself if debian users didnt offer help, since ubunut is like debian.
bazhang, we did.
Hi, I am doing a "sudo cp...." but the permissions in the source dir are not the same as the destination's
 The source dir is a git directory.
 Could that be the reason?
so stop with the offtopic chat here blackness
dreamhost only uses debaian
err debian
bazhang: you forgot 'please'
almoxarife, lets move on
micadeyeye, use "sudo cp -p .. "
lets
n3rV3, I have always used sudo cp -Rf. Should I replace now use "sudo cp -Rp"?
sorry
he dont say please almoxarife
micadeyeye: take it to #bash please
n3rV3, **Should I now use "sudo cp -Rp"?
:)
I thought R is for recursive
it is recursive.
is he trying to keep file permissions?
Yes, I want to keep file permissions.
blackness micadeyeye, take it to #bash please
almoxarife, sure
almoxarife, yes we'll discuss it on #bash thank you
oh forget it. ill help when someone directly comments 'ubuntu' in their comment.
blackness, i feel that times have changed, what happened to the all-inclusive world of open source?
join #samba ;)
i didnt know cp was bash..my understanding its a command built with linux itself..
there are 1,584 people in here, the support here is for ubuntu only, because anything more could get crazy in here
blackness, cp can be based off of bash, sh, or busybox.
or any other shell.
so based off linux/unix. got'cha
i miss the old days..help wasn't restricted. next time ill pull them into a PM :)
I got fired from Comcast call center because I refused to stop going outside of my support boundaries. Ubuntu.
not recently...
you didn't finish that with Ubuntu.

Seven_Six_Two, thats enough
hi. i was just given access to a server in my school. it serves web files in "server.com/~studentnumber". where studentnumber is the name of my home directory. i want to change that after the ~ to a more pleasing name of my choosing. help
Jodorowsky, that will be your home directory, and you might not have permissions to move it. Are you admin on the server?
Seven_Six_Two, i'm not
:\
Jodorowsky, that is more of a setting in your webserver software, apache handles it one way and lighttpd handles it differently, which one are you running?
Jodorowsky, register for a domain name and point a cname record at it
Heya hiya.
Jodorowsky, I believe you can sign up for a free one at dot.tk
RiXtEr, tried ps -e | greping for both and had no luck
Seven_Six_Two, thx
Jodorowsky, cname may be what you are after then, if you don't have root, not much you can change anyway
Jodorowsky, netstat -anp | grep 80 may be helpful though.
* RiXtEr really goes to bed this time.
Jodorowsky, if you're tight with the admin, ask for an alias
Seven_Six_Two, isn't it possible to set an alias like this example ? > http://www.patrickjwaters.com/blog/2011-09-03/aliasing-remote-servers-and-setting-passwordless-authorization-speedy-workflow-ubunt
Seven_Six_Two, the home directory is actually a bunch of links. so he just names the link whatever he wants and real home dir is someplace else
oh, hosts can work, but I don't think it will work without a name-entry if it's name based hosting
and it will only work on that one computer
Jodorowsky, I don't think you would have access to that link.
Jodorowsky, that's how I serve. my web root is in my user's home, but I can't rename the link that the server uses without admin
OerHeks, if you're aliasing that way, the server has to know to respond to that domain, or be set up with a default config that will respond for any domain (*:80)
Does anyone know if you can upgrade to LibreOffice 3.6.3 through the terminal?
brandinhess, with a PPA? compiling? sure.
Ok....where do I go to obtain that information?
do you have a deb file?
brandinhess, search launchpad for the ppa
Ok
That I am very well aware of. I added a Libreoffice PPA, and it still won't upgrade me to the latest version.
I only see that version on the libreoffice site
brandinhess: 32 or 64bit?
64
http://download.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/stable/3.6.3/deb/x86_64/LibO_3.6.3_Linux_x86-64_install-deb_en-US.tar.gz <-- brandinhess, got torrent capability?
Yes
brandinhess: nevermind, thats the direct d/l , wget it and dpkg it
http://www.libreoffice.org/download/?type=deb-x86_64&lang=en-US&version=3.6.3 <-- as per this brandinhess
lol...i got muted on debian cause of my method...
oops wrong channel.
uninstall the old libreoffice first.
I already downloaded the tarball and it still tells me that I have an older version installed.
brandinhess: do you?
I don't see another one installed. Is there a way to find out?
If you add two small negative two's complement bytes, would you get unsigned overflow?
brandinhess: assume you do and 'sudo apt-get remove libreoffice'
Ok...stand by.
almoxarife, they need a lil more then that ;)
they?
It didn't work
yeah..libreoffice is more then that.
brandinhess, are you removing OpenOffice? or updating it?
blackness: 'libreoffice'
isnt that part of openoffice?
I am trying to update my Libreoffice to 3.6.3, and it won't let me.
no
moment please.
blackness, not any more
blackness, "libreoffice" is a metapackage
OerHeks: :)
what version is brandinhess using?
ubuntu version*
brandinhess: so it is not installed via apt/dpkg/synaptic
no
brandinhess: wanna share how you may have installed previously?
Simple....via the terminal.
brandinhess, try " apt-cache search libreoffice "
simple like what? an installer script from ????? brandinhess
almoxarife: Simple....meaning add PPA, and run sudo apt-get install libreoffice. Can't do that now without getting an older version.
sudo dpkg --get-selections | grep office
brandinhess, are we using the libreoffice ppas?
Yes
ah, you installed LibreOffice, added a ppa, and now you cannot see the installed one?
and they don't seem to work like they used to.
hehe.. brandinhess have you read this: http://www.iloveubuntu.net/libreoffice-36-landed-its-official-ppa-ubuntu-1204
i cant get the ppa to add
I have already gone through all of the hassle of adding the most current PPA, and it would prompt me to install version 3.6.0
holy crap, i had libreoffice installed all along :x
brandinhess, did you download the 170mb installer?
Yes
what version do you want of libreoffice?
brandinhess, what was the error when you tried to install it?
3.6.3....already downloaded and installed. It shows that I am running 3.6.2. Tried to update it, and then it prompts me to reinstall, only to see that it is 3.6.0.
remove all ppa's/
did it install over the older files?
Yes
im going to build and install it myself..to see if i can mimic your errors.
brandinhess, what does   which libreoffice    return?
use locate..
brandinhess, did you use sudo when you installed? did you install to /usr/local/bin or to /opt
Seven_Six_Two, check this out: http://askubuntu.com/questions/132837/how-do-i-install-the-latest-stable-version-of-libreoffice/182602#182602
Seven_Six_Two: When I check the version of Libreoffice, it currently shows 3.6.2. It asks me to update to 3.6.3 by downloading the 170MB tarball from LibreOffice web site. I downloaded it, extracted it, installed it. I check the version and it still shows me 3.6.2.
that guide even warrents problems if you dont remove the older version before installing the newer
how did you install it?
Via terminal
using what commands?
Hold on...
and what ubuntu version are you on?
is there any software like nokias pc suit for ubuntu 12.04
blackness: sudo dpkg -i *.deb, cd desktop-integration, and sudo dpkg -i *.deb. I am running two distros: Ubuntu 12.10 and Linux Mint 13 Cinnamon. Both having the same problem.
i dont have .deb files for my install..
i have a crapload of .rpms
brandinhess, can you try to run with explicit paths. like /usr/local/bin/libreoffice
brandinhess, or /opt/bin/libreoffice
Of course
juniour, maybe this page is any help >> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PortableDevices/Nokia
maybe you'll find it's in two locations
Already looked, and it isn't.
http://download.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/stable/3.6.3/deb/x86_64/LibO_3.6.3_Linux_x86-64_install-deb_en-US.tar.gz is this what you downloaded brandinhess ?
you didn't uninstall your previous version, right?
I uninstalled it more times than I can count at the moment....still no positive results.
And reinstalled it too.
does it come back everytime you remove it?
nope
did you purge?
that's good. that would be spooky
BTW, that is where I downloaded my 3.6.3 from....that is the exact link I used.
ok..im downloading that now
im going to install it over my current version of 3.5.0 i think is what i got
when I use chkconfig, I saw many warning messages. if chkconfig is deprecated, how can I make service on or off at boot time? update-rc.d? update-rc.d syntax is just too hard to be understood. thanks.
so let me get this straight. you uninstalled the repo version, and it successfully removed. then you downloaded 3.6.3 and when you install it, it claims to be 3.2.0?
installing.
whats the best flash player right now.
west: whats in flash-installer :P
sgo11, "sudo update-rc.d -f apache2 defaults" will add apache2 to startup in levels 235
No, it claims to be 3.6.2, and it gives me the option to update by downloading the file that is referred above, and it still returns the result of being version 3.6.2.
let me install mine..and lets see if mine does it
ok
to remove apache2 use "sudo update-rc.d -f apache2 remove"
n3rV3, thanks for replying. what is run level 3 and 5? I think I am currently using 2. and how to turn off a service? thanks.
how are you loading libreoffice brandinhess ?
n3rV3, just read your reply about remove. thanks.
Both through the GUI and terminal.
sgo11, it wont stop the service, the service will be removed from startup
brandinhess, i installed libreoffice3.6.2.2 and i downloaded that file.
the one i posted above..
black@blackness:~/Downloads/LibO_3.6.3.2_Linux_x86-64_install-deb_en-US/DEBS$ libreoffice --version
LibreOffice 3.6
Blackness, what do you mean? how do i check?
to stop the service on a running server use: "service apache2 stop" or "/etc/init.d/apache2 stop"
west: are you having problems with flash?
add sudo before above commands
blackness: Yes, but I downloaded the tarball for 3.6.3 and it shows that I have 3.6.2 installed.
i did too.
n3rV3, thanks. I understood that part. what is runlevel 3 and 5? I used to using opensuse. that is different from ubuntu. so I am confused. thanks.
look at my directory from my post
LibO_3.6.3.2_Linux_x86-64_install-deb_en-US
OpenSorce, its opensource
does anyone have bumblebee working in 12.10 ?
and mine reports 3.6.2-2
bulletrulz, I've had this nick since '97. I doubt it's a typo...
* brandinhess needs a case of beer
blackness, i didn't install adobe flash player and gnash seems to not work on firefox in youtube.com
1997 or 1897 OpenSorce?
bulletrulz, it's rules not rulz
brandinhess, you cant fix what they released..they labeled the 3.6.2 as 3.6.3..
OpenSorce, BEEN BULLETRULZ since 1503
bulletrulz, we're off-topic let's knock it off now
mm
kk
blackness: OK....let's forget about that for a moment. Why doesn't the software center show that 3.6.3 is available?
because its not..in tarball or a repo.
Is it supposed to be?
3.6.2 lives inside the packages libreoffice released as 3.6.3 as far as i can tell.
n3rV3, thanks. but I am still confused. what is the different between runlevel 2, 3, 5? I think I am currently using 2, because that is the result of executing command $ runlevel.
What kind of screwed up crap is this supposed to be?
a mistake, which people make.
Well, I sure hope that they see their typo, or whatever one wants to call it.
i have 3.5.0 and 3.6.2 installed at the same time by the way...and i tried the update thing from the program..and i found the link i just gave you 10mins ago..endless loop..wait for a proper to come out, i assume.
What link?
sgo11, that is a Linux/Ubuntu concept and you'll have to read about it. I can help you with your support queries here
http://download.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/stable/3.6.3/deb/x86_64/LibO_3.6.3_Linux_x86-64_install-deb_en-US.tar.gz
west, sudo apt-get install flash-installer i believe.
blaskness: thanks
well, hello everybody
welcome.
how can I find out whether i'm running 64 bit or 32 bit from command line?
uname -a
Supreme_Niggler: rude nick in some parts
look for _64
n3rV3, I understood the linux concept. at least, I understood the opensuse concept. runlevel 5 is graphical. runlevel 3 is text mode with network. if I remember correctly, runlevel 2 is text mode without network. etc... but for ubuntu, it's totally different from opensuse. that's why I am confused. whatever. I can google for it. thanks a lot for your help.
blackness, tried that, doesn't show that info, least not here on this machine
almoxarife: http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/niggle -- Supreme_Niggler: But you know damn well why you chose the nick :P
post your: uname -a
:)
basically on ubuntu runlevels 3 and 5 are same as runlevel 2. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpstartHowto will explain more about it.
yw
#29-Ubuntu SMP Fri Oct 19 10:27:31 UTC 2012 i686 i686 i686 GNU/Linux
thats not all of uname -a...
and machine name and kernel version
no info about 64 bit or 32 bit
im 64x: Linux blackness 3.5.0-18-generic #29-Ubuntu SMP Fri Oct 19 10:26:51 UTC 2012 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
Random832: the nick is offensive, he knows it, i know it, i thought humanity was better than that
overdub, i686 implies 32 bit
n3rV3, thanks a lot. I will read that link.
in some parts... humanity is not
relgar, thanks, I'll go with that
dmesg|grep CPU0 try this overdub ..look for the line with CPU0: and see if your CPU shows up as 64x
overdub, fyi "i386" or "i586" are also possible; easier to check for x86_64 existence
blackness, CPU0: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-2620M CPU @ 2.70GHz stepping 07
his processer is 64x, i bet he used a 32bit iso.
blackness, lots of output from that but nothing to indicate 64 or 32
do these guidelines
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines
apply to ubuntu-offtopic too ?
"cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep -i flags | head -n1" will show if a cpu supports 64 bit
zamboni: you tell us, did you read them?
ya
zamboni: why do you ask?
cause
in off-topic channel there's 2 peeps debating it
i want to settle it
how does one get an OPS attention?
with !op
once...and for all
i think.
how do I make chromium use an external download manager?
Ben64, what would you look for on the output of: cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep -i flags | head -n1
by making a henious nick
blackness: that's really for emergencies. There is a ubuntu-opps channel I think
i want Supreme_Niggler gone! offensive nick, i live in the modern world where that is not acceptable
Yeah, I think !op and !ops works, but you shouldn't use it willy nilly
Ben64, the output included this: dtes64
blackness, overdub: I would look for lahf_lm
umm ignore me
thanks guys
ok, i got that..but i know imm using 64x :P
Ben64, yes, that's there too
overdub, i think you installed a 32bit version, is this a fresh install?
so then, is it still possible/likely that I'm running a 32 bit install?
your uname is a 32 bit one, so yes
blackness, yeah, couple weeks old
overdub: i found out my lappy was 64bit by accident, loaded ubuntu 64bit without paying attention, then i noticed it, so you may have a 64bit
save important stuff, and install a 64x iso..
ok, I'll change the freakin nick.... to "modern" standards......
Supreme_Niggler: thnks
Guys, can i ask here about MAAS ?
...
or it must be at #ubuntu-server ?
maas?
blackness, lots of work, had it all running so sweetly too -- might have to reinstall
A[D]minS: maas? no, i used to pull data out of that mess
almoxarife huh!
i dont know if its possible, if you can re-install without formatting..
overdub: if you have a home partition, or save your home directory, it makes it pretty easy
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ServerTeam/MAAS/
tar /home or rsync it somewhere..
maas, wrong maas
almoxarife Shall i consider it as joke?
overdub: you can also keep a copy of all the packages you have and put em back
Ben64, I'll just try both drivers for this scanner and if something breaks I'll reinstall
Ben64, that sounds handy -- how to do that?
i cant help with MAAS, looks tricky
nick changed.... this better?
blackness its okay :) Thanks for trying
overdub: http://savvyadmin.com/backup-and-restore-package-lists-in-ubuntu/
A[D]minS: i thought it was a db used for industry, same name, wrong on my end
almoxarife , its okay.
holy crap thats helpful..
thank god..
sudo apt-get install gnash mozilla-plugin-gnash is not working on my firefox ubuntustudio 12.10.
does gnash actually work on websites?
whats the best way to uninstall gnash so that when i install lightspark they won't interfere?
so far not on youtube  ( 12.10 studio)
west: stop fighting it, install chromium and forget 'flash'
that will work. i wish you said that earlier.
anyone know how to turn off hybrid GPU stuff?
joclek: what does that mean?
how do I make a script run on login vai Ubuntu server?

joclek, you know about bumblebee?
joclek: looked in the bios setup?
don't care about battery and I think it might be causing crashes
oh yeah, bios should be the proper way to disable it. Juyst thought the bumblebee options might also allow setting it to never use
how do I make a script run on login vai Ubuntu server?
???
do MacBooks have a bios?
UEFI i think
but how do I set stuff there?
joclek: its your makina, you tell us
or similar
anyone please help...i can't use Winff in ubuntu 12.10, or give a good media converter...
green_16: cant?
Umm.. how do we unlock folder on GUI? Kinda sudo on terminal?
WishArt, you must launch the folder as sudo
ya i can't
in terminal "gksudo nautilus"
WishArt: gksu nautilus--no-desktop
Ah, okay let me try. Tyvm varikonniemi :)
green_16: define "can't use"
 And to almoxarife to
WishArt: btw, be careful with super nautilus, you can crap a file system
been there done that, decided to delete what did not seem useful
well, sometimes you have to learn by making mistakes :D
been there, done that. When i first moved to linux i insisted to be admin as i was used to under windowsa
varikonniemi: yeap, and i have made some really good ones, thank you :) , 'var'? i dont need no stinking 'var' :)
so i hacked my ubuntu to allow root login... you can guess i was reinstalling quite frequently
varikonniemi: i dabbled with backtrack5 on vbox, the kde version even, it runs 100% root
Hello. Is there a way to set the download location when doing a net install? i have a system booting from the linux kernel and the matching initrd.tz file. The first few steps of the installer work normally, but after i select a mirror, it never downloads anything.
The drive it's booting from is 32MB. I have bigger drives connected by usb (which i can't boot from). ideas?
wow
clarification: my bios doesn't allow booting from usb
you managed to boot from usb the mini.iso ?
so you boot from a 32mb hdd? :D ok
varikonniemi: it's a flash drive. not usb, but yes.
i'm booting from it.
is this doomed to fail?
.....what Operating system is booting with 32 mb?
what Operating system fit?
n3rV3, sorry to interrupt you. one more question. after executing "sudo update-rc.d -f apache2 remove". the output of "service --status-all" still shows [ + ]  apache2. why? why is that a plus sign? does it mean apache2 will be booted at startup? thanks.
Username_Banned: you mean 31 megs of hdd or ram?
Username_Banned: DOS?
32*
hdd
Username_Banned: may be tiny core linux
32 mb hdd.
i was using tiny core linux, but now i'm trying to get ubuntu running on this machine (processor is an i686 with 376 mb RAM).
sgo11: it means, it is started (currently running).
ciao
the only things on the 32 mb hdd are the linux kernel and it's initrd.tz file. i was following these instructions: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/NetbootInstallFromInternet
llutz, but that is wrong. I have stopped apache2 by running sudo service apache2 stop. ps -ef does not have apache2 running either. thanks.
people are already installing ubuntu on android tablets, using vnc to get to it local
Username_Banned: and i'm using the oneiric kernel and initrd
Username_Banned: strike that. it's lucid.
is the download attempting to go to the 32mb hdd, and failing when the process cannot operate within the space given?
btw, one more question, what is the command to show all the autostart service? thanks.
It was my impression that when downloading via netboot that the basic system downloads to RAM then during partitioning and formating it gets installed on one drive or another...
Username_Banned: after i select a mirror, i get a blue screen with nothing on it. i can see (in my router's activity monitor) that it's not doing and network traffic.
*after not during
Username_Banned: i'm just guessing that there's a disk space problem.
nrw, my last netboot install did the same for about 30 minutes before it showed any activity
OpenSorce: wow
nrw, keep in mind it was on a very slow machine
nrw, but yeah... no status bar or anything just blue for 30 minutes then it started showing me things.
Honestly, the blue screen you described has me confused, but it does seem logical that it could be a space problem or an overload of some sort
there's only 2MB free on the internal drive. i'm assuming it's gonna download more than 2MB of stuff. i can't imagine the installer hunts for free disk space on other drives. does it?
Username_Banned, like I just told him, I've seen the same thing on netboot/PXE installs
nrw, it uses ram
nrw, I believe it stores it in RAM until you select the drives to use
i have 376mb of ram. is there hope of fitting the whole system on that?
lubuntu yes, ubuntu not really
llutz, just figure out the output of "service --status-all" is different from "sudo service --status-all". one shows [+] apache2, and another one shows [-] apache2. I have no idea why it's like this.
varikonniemi: crap. i don't have a way to switch at this point.
nrw, I have Ubuntu on a machine with 256mb Ram. Using LXDE
well as you might know ubuntu and lubuntu are almost the same thing, so after you find ubuntu unusably slow you can simply install lubuntu-desktop and login to lxde and youre set
nrw, THIS machine to be precise
:)
Now just don't ask me to 'cat /etc/issue' of that machine it will give the currentists here heart failure :-)
i gave up on the installer after about 20 minutes. what i'm hearing is "wait longer". :)
I have a problem, becuase I sat a furture time when I do svn update, then I correct the computer time, but when I build source, it will cause an error as makefile is created in furture time
lubuntu-desktop being the name of the meta package... simply apt-get install lubuntu-desktop
then how to change the time stamp of a directionary
installing 2 desktops like that makes for messy menus
nrw, That's what I did, just give it time. Or you can setup another machine as an http server and host the files there
ayaka: touch,
ikonia, but the file has been existed
ayaka: so ?
OpenSorce: ok. thanks for giving me hope. :)
ikonia,  touch can still do that ?
i had gnome shell, unity, kde, openbox, gnome fallback on my last media center that i use to showcase linux to friends ;) and i had no problems with many DE:s
ayaka: yes, that's why I suggested it
ikonia, thank you very much
Anastasya: OpenSorce: varikonniemi: thanks for your help.
nrw, good luck :-)

Hello, who can help me with the proprietary ATI driver fglrx?
prospero23, What is your question?
is there a way to delete the key combo : Ctrl - C   ???
cloudy_ i'm not succeeding with getting that to work on a fujitsu system
Devilholk, try "sudo aptitude -fs" to figure out if any are broken
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=12350934#post12350934
n3rV3: aptitude/dpkg or whatever thinks that everything is in order. I want to verify that the binaries in my local libraries are correct
n3rV3: I don't think I could just reinstall the libraries since almost the entire system depends on some of them
prospero23, please take a look at the following website: http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu
Devilholk: compare md5sums with those from /var/lib/dpkg/info
llutz: Is there some tool that will do that for me?
llutz: I mean, just run trough the info-dir and check everything
prospero23, by the way, someone in the forum explained your situation. http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=12351101&postcount=3
Devilholk: "man debsums"
llutz: Thanks =D
prospero23, meaning that you will not be able to get the proprietary ATI driver to work
cloudy_ thank you, i know but i want to try anyway
llutz, thanks learnt something new
I give up, re-svn co is more quick

i am using ubunt 11.04
aum__: 11.04 is no longer supported

Seven_Six_Two, what does that mean...
nevermind. I thought this was offtopic for a sec.
is there a way to get a list of ppas?
ak5,  grep -RoPish "ppa.launchpad.net/[^/]+/[^/ ]+" /etc/apt | sort -u | sed -r 's/\.[^/]+\//:/'

how do i flash working in browser 12.10 ubuntu studio.
join #ubuntu-de
ak5, sorry :) - try this: http://sourceforge.net
ak5 this is a start, but be carefull with PPA, those are not supported here !!  >>> http://www.ubuntuupdates.org/ppas
ak5, what does SPICE do?
It induces headaches
cloudy: it's basically a nice layer for networking on top of qemu
Devilholk: is that so? I am relaly just playing around with it because I want copy/paste to work
ak5, thanks :)
ak5, have you  looked at this: http://www.spice-space.org/download.html
ak5: It is a matter of taste I guess. I prefer to just hook up a circuit and scope it instead
ak5, Devilholk, could it be that you are talking about 2 different SPICE' ?
Devilholk: I don't understand what it means to "hook up a circuit and scope it instead"
cloudy: Possible
I am talking about electronics simulation software

I am trying to install a second copy of ubuntu and multiboot ... there is a RAID5 (5 x 1TB) with LVM setup ... I am trying to setup Xen on the new ubuntu... to do this I need to modify grubs setup.. but after doing a "update-grub" ... the original grub setup is still used ... anyone know why?
cloudy: I see. Well, not exactly, my computer would explode if I tried to rev up a browser for the moment ^^
nrdb, did you upgrade grub from the new ubuntu, or the old install ?
OerHeks, the new one.
nrdb, you should not install grub with the new install, and update the from the old one instead
hello
guys i have installed bumblebee on 3.2.0-3 kernel then i get update
and bumblebee stopped to work
how should i recompile bumbleebe for new kernel?
OerHeks, latter I intend to delete the old one... Is there a way around this?
nrdb, just boot in the old one, and run update-grub from there ?
OerHeks, I get it ... that would probably fix the problem for now ... but when I get this all configured I was planing on deleting the old setup ... this would leave without being to update grub at all ... that would be a problem.
morning
nrdb, oke, reinstalling grub after removal of your first install is no problem.

hi. im having trouble with nvidia in ubuntu 12.10. I installed nvidia-current in software manager.. but when I go login now my desktop is messed up and when I run nvidia-setting it says that it doesnt use the nvidia driver. I have run nvidia-xconfig as root. but it doesnt read the xorg file it seems
OerHeks, I found a setup mistake... the /boot wasn't setup correctly.
west, if you are using chrome, check the link in browser: chrome://plugins
anything I have done wrong?
sgo11, thanks
west, you're welcome.
Hey. I'm trying to fix GRUB from an Ubuntu LiveCD, but when I run "update-grub" after chrooting and mounting everything correctly, I get an error: "Basename: /lib/libc.so.6: `GLIBC_2.14` not found (required by basename)." What is this lib, and where should I put it?
Kowalczyk, what cpu and graphics board do u have?
west, http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
graphics are Nvidia Quadro NVS 295
cpu?
Anyone knows about showing the battery panel at ubuntu 12.10? I can't find it and i am using a laptop so its rather important.
where would the "tick" icon from the "Keep Aligned" in nautilus desktop context menu and other checked on/off options from the context menus be located?
Use this tinyurl.com/8xg9fgz west
Intel I5 something. this is my work machine. so not sure
well... you could check the xorg.config and see if all is correct
Intel i5-2500
ok.. hmm
sry maybe the current xorg doesnt use config
hmm..
can you still use x?
driver says nvidia
what's fruity loops 4 linux?
ok
yes. but the unity and stuff doesnt show. only the background
Kowalczyk: if you run:  lspci | grep -i vga    do you see an intel GPU and an Nvidia one?
fruity loops for linux?
cool :)
moonvoniron: lmms
thx =)
nvidia corporation G98 Quadro NVS 295
ActionParsnip:
frutiy loops is a music making program
Kowalczyk: as long as its not a switchable gpu thats a bonus :)
Any channel for lmms? :)
WishArt: #lmms maybe
its not.. it has worked before... on other os... but then I downloaded driver from their website. nvidia
Mmm... let me try ActionParsnip
Tyvm ActionParsnip
Kowalczyk: could try the xorg update ppa (not the edgers)
Kowalczyk: what is the output of: lsb_release -sc
Wow, perfect ActionParsnip
quantal ActionParsnip

I fixed grub from Ubuntu LiveCD mang0
can someone give me the available dowload 4 lmms? it does'nt works in software center.
WishArt: Any idea why I'm getting that lib error?
But i forgot now :( It's kinda do sudo from LiveCD and then gedit grub.cfg mang0
will try now ActionParsnip
can someone give me the available dowload 4 lmms? it does'nt works in software center.
WishArt: I need to completely wipe grub completely and re-install, not just edit grub.cfg...and I'm getting this weird libc.so.6 error
moonvoniron: make sure you have the universe repo enabled
ah ic, in that case i'm a noob as well sorry mang0
mang0, thats bad error, sure
WishArt: don't worry about it :) blackshirt: Oh dear, really?
hi
I can see lmms on software center moonvoniron, which ubuntu version do u use?
Or join #lmms moonvoniron
ActionParsnip: nah. that didnt work either. same problem
are there any slr owners here who use their ubuntu machine for manipulating raw files?

hi community.....some one write the path in file /usr/bin/gcc      But how I find the path in my system for gcc...kindly write me the commnad to find
does anyone know where would the "tick" icon from the "Keep Aligned" in nautilus desktop context menu and other checked on/off options from the context menus be located?
:)
or any ideas how to find it or something
talpur, what you mean ?
oerheks: do you find darktable is the best one - I had another one suggested - just trying to find the name now - the icon was a circle of colour like a colour chooser
I have a log file . If i want remove only the logs with the "11/22/2222" in it . how can I remove them using grep ?
anyone ?
try sed instead :)
becom33: maybe use sed
devswap, there are plugins for gimp too , UFRaw
blackshirt: I mean where gcc exit in my system, I want to find that path, put it in config file
Someguy123, a guide would be nice .for a example . if the log file is called .. access_logs and I want remove every line which has "11/22/2222"
?
somsip, *
oerheks: it was raw therapee that was suggested to me - have you tried that?
devswap, or rawstudio, but i liked darktable better
talpur, maybe i'm missunderstand your question....but it was hard to reconfigure your ask
becom33: this is a start - http://www.unix.com/shell-programming-scripting/89037-sed-delete-lines-containing-text1-text2.html
devswap, nope, raw therapee is new for me.
becom33, something like:  cat access_logs | grep -v 11/22/2222 > resultfile
becom33, be aware that the line will not work, since the / are not escapted
* escaped
oerheks: well obviously its new to me at the moment but looks good
cloudy, wut resultfile is doing
devswap, raw therapy is a little behind other OS versions http://rawtherapee.com/downloads
becom33, that will have your output, otherwise you will fill up your screen depending on how many lines there are in access_logs
ahh ok
hipitihop, when will gimp 2.8 be supported on ubuntu 12.04?
hipitihop, when will gimp 2.8 be supported on ubuntu 12.04?
I dunno why my Hi is being converted to hipitihop !
becom33, the file resultfile should, theoretically, have all the lines of your access_logs file without the lines that include the date 11/22/2222
Hi all. Is there anyway to make direct web apps in firefox (without any toolbar and with integration in unity bar) ?
Already supported kapz
kapz, build the newest version of gimp if you want it ;)
kapz, gimp 2.8.2.1 is available in 12.10, not sure it will be in 12.04
oerheks: when you say a litlte behind other versions - what do you mean?
WishArt, supported? how?
ubuntu 12.04 uses systemd or systemv by default
2.8 is on 12.10
2.6 is on 12.04
Adding apt link kapz
yeah but is there any easy way to use 2.8 on 12.04/
yes, download the tarball and build from source.
ok
devswap look at the version numbers, ubuntu - 4.0.9.1 and the newest is 4.0.9.50 ( for windows)
anything on webapps integration ? (i've tested the canonical feature but I don't really understand the meaning of it)
oerheks: oh i see what you mean - I dont see that as an issue as such - I guess its a matter of trying both the one you suggest and that one and see how easy it is to perform tasks
devswap, that is the best thing to do, indeed.
Kapz: http://askubuntu.com/questions/134035/how-do-i-get-gimp-2-8
kapz: http://askubuntu.com/questions/134035/how-do-i-get-gimp-2-8
oerheks: I presume darktable is non destructive with the original raw - as in it keeps the changes in a separate file?
kapz: the link ubottu gavee lets you search the PPAs (also duckduckgo has the !ppa bang)
blackshirt: may be I couldn't explain my question..I have an other question plz see my past and then help me http://paste.ubuntu.com/1355175/
That's the easier way kapz
im installing gimp 2.8 on 12.04
hi community see my paste and help to resolve
gotcha, thanks WishArt

yvw kapz
kapz: the ppa search is groovy :)
devswap, yes, it is safe,  but i always make a copy, just in case...
ppa search, where?
another thing. I've removed online account software. Thanks to that, no more top right menu item. But when I am disconnected, the item come back in red fonts. Any way to remove it completely ?
ohh nice
blackness: Or if you use duckduckgo, use the !ppa syntax in the search
yep it is :) Done it's installed now, thanks all :)
Hi I have a question: Whenever I activate UFW on my remote machine ssh gets terribly slow. I have port 22/tcp open, what else is ther to do?
im gonna write a eggdrop script to search this ;P
hi community see my paste and help to resolve http://paste.ubuntu.com/1355175/
it takes forever to login and type commands etc
tux9th, have you looked to see how busy the computer is?
hi members which command should be used to know the whole information about hardware in system
lshw?
nrdb: no but I don't see why activating ufw should slow the compjuter so much that it takes me 1min to login via ssh
nrdb: load does not increase
Yep usually i experienced when i can't use my mouse until re-login.
tux9th, nether do I ... does disabling it allow faster logins?
yes
after I disable it everything goes back to normal
I think newer ubuntu is heavier. No prob in previous version.
ubuntu12.04 uses alsa or pulseaudio by default?

hi
anyone knows if i need to make a swap partition for linux when tryign to dual boot ubuntu with windows 8, or the installer its going to do it?
tux9th, I don't know... does ufw log stuff?
There's an option to do that in installing process b0w
nrdb: hm! I don't know have to check
ufw does log
almoxarife: where?
rather the rules created get logged
Installation will go without swap by default b0w
WishArt, ok cool, do you kbow how much space its needed for the swap partition with a 6gb ram memory but expansive to 24 i think..
Usually i use 2 times of ram size
  /var/log/ufw.log
Usually i use 2 times of ram size b0w
almoxarife: that one does not exist
and it begins
blackness: Thanks but can you see the paste...and suggest me tips, because from "lshw" I couldn't achieve the purpose
http://paste.ubuntu.com/1355175/
Usually i use 2 times of ram size b0w
WishArt, ok so like 48 gb will do it right?
When is the show? :D
Yep, that's what i read on tutorial b0w
that looks like sysctl vars talpur
or values pulled from /proc
Now I'm wondering how to change swap partition myself after ubuntu installed.
WishArt, i got right now a partition of 350 for windows, and i got one with 20 gb for / and one for 330 for /home, the installer will make everything else?
I've removed online account software. Thanks to that, no more top right menu item. But when I am disconnected, the item come back in red fonts. Any way to remove it completely ?
hahaha im not sure about this, heheh are you?
Actually when we choose custom the installation will ask where to install and leave the rest b0w
hm
howdy all
hi
So it will ask root, home & swap only b0w
I've removed online account software. Thanks to that, no more top right menu item. But when I am disconnected, the item come back in red fonts. Any way to remove it completely ?
OerHeks: the server you are on?
OerHeks: zelazny?
Hehe.. i will find out later b0w. Hopefully there's a way to do that
wow mass-join :-D
welcome back !
OerHeks: zelazny is the closest to me, in oregon
And mass quit too before that OerHeks :D
almoxarife, yes? i see with my connection details verve.freenode.net ?
Nice info ubottu
b0w? Yes we can resize the swap later on

My Thunderbird has lost all its menus and all the Unity panel. Running 64 bit 12.04
Gyro54: please wait a while.
Gyro54: ON the top bar in Ubuntu do you get the File/Edit etc menu?
Gyro54: reinstall thunderbird-globalmenu if it exists
DJones: No all menus are gone. I have to alt-tab to go to something else to allow to shutdown etc. I can control from the Unity icons when in another program.
ActionParsnip: I removed and replaced the Global Menus but the problem still exists
Gyro54: I wondered whether the menu's had just been switched off from the View tab, but obviously not that
Gyro54: so you ran:  sudo apt-get --reinstall install thunderbird-globalmenu
This is my work computer so I cant get to it at the moment
Gyro54: then log off and log on
Menus work fine for everything else
does anyone what port I have to open besides udp tcp 53 to allow rDNS lookup?
my server cannot resolve the DNS and therefore takes forever at ssh login etc
ActionParsnip: No did the reinstall from the software centre - removed and replaced
tux9th: rdns uses the same port as dns
ActionParsnip: so what's going wrong then :/ I opened port 53 and it still takes forever... (I'm on UFW btw)
ctionParsnip: I will run reinstall in the morning. Thanks
also when I change user with sudo it said unable to resolv ehost
tux9th: if you run:  hostname    it will show your hostname
yes
it does
txwikinger: if you then run:  gedit /etc/resolv.conf   is there an entry for that hostname in the file
tux9th: ^
no
tux9th: that's why
but if I disable the firewall it works :P
so I primarily think that the firewall is faulty
tux9th: did you change the /etc/hostname file recently by any remote chance?
no
tux9th: you need to have the hostname in /etc/resolv.conf so the system can resolve its own hostname to 127.0.0.1
in resolve.conf are all the nameservers etc
ActionParsnip, aren't hosts stored in /etc/hosts?
yes
/etc/hostnames doesn't exist
_cronus_: oh yeah, my bad
it says 127.0.0.1       localhost.localdomain localhost
tux9th: sorry, it should have an entry in /etc/hosts to resolve the hostname to 127.0.0.1
tux9th: what is the hostname?
tux9th, you can use the network-manager to set the DNS so that /etc/resolv.conf is setup correctly
j35739.servers.jiffybox.net
nrdb:  I'm on a remote machine no gui I think network-manager is a GUI right?
tux9th, yes it is.
no gui there
tux9th: then you need to change:  127.0.0.1       localhost.localdomain localhost    to:  127.0.0.1       localhost.localdomain localhost  j35739.servers.jiffybox.net  j35739
What I don't understand is why this only happens when I turn on the firewall
tux9th: the system needs to resolve itself to 127.0.0.1, it affects a lot of the system as localhost is used a lot
Anyone know of a back up tool that uses Amazon Glacier?
Iszak:  cant say ive ever heard that one mentioned in this channel.  check askubuntu.com yet?
Iszak: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2047837
Unless anyone has any other suggestions instead of Amazon Glacier? The retrieval time does suck tbh.

ActionParsnip yeah, not a fan on compiling :P
plus it's java.

ssh login takes forever but sudo su works now
tux9th: I suggest you use:  sudo -i
the external rdns lookup still doesn't work the internal seems to work now
at first it always said couldn't resolve host
tux9th: sudo su   will make you use root's profile. sudo -i    will use your user's
tux9th: yes but you can see why
k will do from now on
you know it always prints from where the last logi nwas
if I turn off the firewall I get my rdns standing there
if I turn on the firewall I get the IP only
tux9th: do you have suitable DNS servers in resolv.conf ?
I assume so as it works with firewall turned off :P!
tux9th: can you ping the DNS servers when the firewall is on?
hm nope :p
tux9th: didn't you think to test that initially?
nope...
I still don't get why
Hi, I have a problem with ntfs drive on xubuntu, can anyone help me?
tux9th: if names don't resolve when the firewall is up then testing connecting connectivity to the DNS is a smart move, wouldn't you say?
kazik: what is the issue?>
I installed xubuntu on one drive (ext4) and I have another drive (ntfs) but now that I have installed it, I can't see it or access it in any way
ActionParsnip: seems so. But I don't get why the connectivity isn't there. That's why I initially asked what to do to make the firewall allow all of that :S
kazik: is it an internal partition?
yup,
ActionParsnip: I opened port 53 for dns
tuxthen why ddn't you think to test that?
okay well we're there but what to do now?!
I tried ntfs-config but there weren't any drives there to mess with
tux9th: run a tracerote to the DNS, see where the link dies
I tried blkid command but it only shows ext4 drive and swap area
so, what do I do, anybody has any idea?
kazik: does it show up if you run:  sudo fdisk -l
tux9th: traceroute   sorry
ActionParsnip: it doesn't get out
tux9th: then I'd check your firewall logs
yes it does
/dev/sda2
extended
what now?
kazik: sda5 will be the extended partition, if any
kazik: I suggest you add the partition in /etc/fstab so that it mounts at boot
kazik: if it's just for one time access, you can run:  sudo mkdir /media/ntfs; sudo mount /dev/sda2 /media/ntfs -o rw,users,uid=1000
hmm okay, how do I do it?
yeah okay, but I want it permanently
kazik: there are tonnes of guides online for adding NTFS to /etc/fstab
okay
thanks :)
I'll do it
kazik: try websearching a little rather than IMMEDIATELY asking 'how do I' etc

Hey #ubuntu - i'm trying to use git to clone a github repo, but i get this error: fatal: Unable to look up github.com (port 9418) (Temporary failure in name resolution)
majd, check your internet connection
pinging google.com gives this error: ping: unknown host google.com
your dns
i think it's a problem with dns
Check your gateway
there is your problem right there
i'm sshing into a virtual machine on a server
majd, try to use other dns, google dns maybe
blackshirt: ok, i'll try to setup google dns
ok, changing the dns to google's dns by modifying /etc/dhcp/dhclient.conf does not solve the problem
so try /etc/resolv.conf
nameserver 4.1.1.1; nameserver 4.1.1.2 i think is google dns
blackness: 8.8.8.8  and 8.8.4.4
8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4
level3 is 4.1.1.1 and 4.1.1.2
majd: if you run:   echo "nameserver 8.8.8.8" | sudo tee /etc/resolv.conf > /dev/null       does it then work?
then you got foolsdns and speakeasy dns thats public ;)
ActionParsnip: awesome, it works!
thanks :)
majd: it won't work after a reboot though
majd, http://theos.in/windows-xp/free-fast-public-dns-server-list/
ActionParsnip: how can i make it permanent?
it explains windows, linux, bsd.
majd: sure: echo "nameserver 8.8.8.8" | sudo tee /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/tail > /dev/null
why wouldnt he put it in /etc/resolv.conf and avoid his ISP dns?
blackness: resolv.conf is generated, it's not a static file (unless you uninstall network manager)
it'll only change on dhclient renewal wont it?
the linux guide on that site suggests resolv.conf lol.
blackness: the tail file gets added to the end of the file when the DHCP DNS has been added (if any)
blackness: yeah then the guy who wrote that doesn't know how the resolvconf works in newer releases then :)
ActionParsnip: great to know. Thanks again.
so resolv.conf would be acceptable if the iface was static, yes?
blackness: yes and if network manager wasn't about
network manager isnt in the -server builds is it?
Is it possible to lock a folder to the unity launch bar
blackness: I believe it still runs a s a service. It can be configured by nm-cli

Hello, I'm on natty, and it's now started asking me to upgrade to oneiric every single day. What's the easiest way to turn that message off? I have no intention of upgrading until the whole Gnome 3 / Unity insanity calms down and people go back to designing more reasonable desktop environments.
hello

right, I know that :)

rainbowwarrior2: can you pastebin the error verbatim?
Cale: there are forks of gnome2, but they are not supported here
rainbowwarrior2: Do you able install through terminal at least? Or same error?
Cale: XFCE is made using GTK, so you can run your Gnome apps without issue and it will look and feel like Gnome2
fairuz, same error
Yeah, I've considered doing that. If push comes to shove, I might end up with XFCE.
I used to like Gnome 2
it's no longer supported and I'm not keen on Gnome 3
fortunately, Unity is much better than either of them
Hi there
I can't stand Unity
Cale: use another DE
I am having issues with video streaming online it's a bit choppy
Cale  i'm using lubuntu, it's very swift
any help?
philinux: That's what I'm doing. I'm using Gnome 2. :P
I'm using Xubuntu 12.10
Somewhat unrelated, I'd also have to work out how to disable jack sensing in the newer kernel, because it is really obnoxious.
Cale: have you experienced mate or cinnamon
on Lenovo X100e
(Having headphones plugged in kills my speakers)
Unity isn't a DE, just so you know :)
ActionParsnip: indeed a compiz plugin it is
(So I have to physically plug and unplug my headphones all the time)
Cale:  i see people in here with the opposite problem all the time. ;) both being on when plugged in
gordonjcp , just seeing if i can paste the error into pastebin now
I actually like the option of having both.
So that I can have headphones with better stereo separation while other people in my room can still hear
ive never seen a definitive fix/tool]setting to set it one way or the other
Of course, I also need the ability to control the volume of each independently.
hello, i need my IP address to be shown in the panel. what app can i use?
and the new volume control panels seem really derpy and only give me a master volume control :P
Cale:  perhaps in that pavcontrol tool
(all the pulseaudio crap)
Cale: I always though that was the default. plug in head phones should always kill the speakers
philinux: That's ridiculous
philinux:  its supposed to work  that way.
nevermind, i found one
philinux: I have no idea where people got that idea.
It only makes sense for things like tablet PCs.
Cale: can you give the output of: wget -O alsa-info.sh http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh && chmod +x ./alsa-info.sh && ./alsa-info.sh --upload
thats the way it's always worked on my lappy pc and phone
its how radios, cellphones, and other devices work...
ActionParsnip: It would be pointless to do that right now, because I'm on natty and don't have jack sensing at all.
with smart jack/sensing its now more flexiable
Cale: gotcha
But when I upgrade (which I've tried on another hard drive), I end up dealing with that annoyance.
i still wonder  how these things can tell i plugged in a mic. vs a headphones
I would *much* rather control the use and mixing of my headphones entirely in software.
I don't want to have to climb under my desk and physically adjust how things are plugged in to change between headphones and speakers
It's stupid to suggest that I should have to.
its stupid to have such an attitude with us.
(I'm not directing that comment at you guys specifically)
But there have been people who seem to think that this should be the case.
There may be a module option to tell the OS not to mute sound when you shove phones in
Cale  you could suggest such software on !brainstorm
wonder if jackd would allow more controll also
i barely understand jackd
gordonjcp never mind i fixed my problem, for some reason zoneminder was effecting everything and since i removed it, i can install things and remove things again without errors
For the entire time that I've been using computers with sound cards in them, say, since 1992 or so, there has been a way to control headphone and speaker volume and muting independently of one another, and sound has gone out to both ports at once.
It's only been in the last couple of years or so that I've started seeing this jack sensing stuff come about.
Cale: the default is to mute the speakers, but i'd imagine there is a way with module options
Hi, what is the best software to convert avi to mp4 for Ubuntu 12.10 please ?
rainbowwarrior2: there is no single best software to do that, in any OS
rainbowwarrior2  ffmpeg or avconv (which is basically the same)
rainbowwarrior2:  an avi file could be using the mprg codec and thus be a mp4.. but theres several converter tools in the repos
rainbowwarrior2:  avidemux, arista, winff and otheres.. many are frontends to ffmpeg or mencoder
ok thank you ActionParsnip  , MonkeyDust and dr_willis  :o)
rainbowwarrior2: I came across this the other day http://www.iloveubuntu.net/convert-music-videos-pictures-and-isos-format-junkie-powerful-all-one-utility
rainbowwarrior2: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=916664
ok will take a look thank you philinux and ActionParsnip
rainbowwarrior2: http://www.upubuntu.com/2012/02/how-to-convert-mp4-to-avi-under-ubuntu.html
arista  seems to work well.. but the interface is a little weird
rainbowwarrior2: your first question was as intelligent as "what is the best colour of the rainbow"
uu]\
0090000
9090909090909090909090909999999999999999999
rainbowwarrior2: one doesn't exist, people just have preferences, one isn't outroght 'best' over the rest
Lachlan-BigPC  it works, you're in
Another little thing that I like about Gnome 2 (though I had to rebuild my audio packages with different compilation flags to get it) is that there's a volume control panel applet which I can stick more than one of on the panel and have them control master/PCM/headphone separately.
munky dust
ok thank you ActionParsnip  :o)
At least for gnome 2, I kind of know what steps I need to take to get rid of any trace of PulseAudio.
(and really, I have nothing against PulseAudio, except for the fact that it takes the 20 or 30 volume controls supported by my sound hardware and hides them all behind a single derpy master volume knob.)
Cale: you can run or not run pulseaudio in ANY DE, the desktop doesn't dictate the sound stuff
Cale: you can even run a desktopless OS and run full sound suites etc
ActionParsnip: Yes, this is a separate issue, but not entirely orthogonal
ActionParsnip: Just for info, I copied the Home folder desktop file & set the folder I wanted to open via nauilus & just dragged it onto the unity bar, just one less click than a nautilus bookmark
Because the newer desktop environments don't have as nice volume control applets for plain ALSA.
i just use alsamixer
Cale: so Gnome2 being able to get rid of pulse is nonsensical, you can do it in any DE if you can do it in Gnome2
Cale  true, everything was better when we was young
ActionParsnip: If I want to write some code, I can do that.
DJones: sweet
ActionParsnip: There's nothing *in principle* which prevents Gnome 3 from having nice ALSA mixing facilities.
But it doesn't have them.
what about alsamixer?
does anyone know where would the icons in nautilus desktop context menu and other context menus be located?, i can't seem to find them in the icon theme hierarchy
Cale: it can though
wastrel: alsamixer is okay, but inconvenient compared with having nice little panel widgets which are always available
panel widgets?  like an icon?
or like dockapps?
hi
i have an issue with samba
oh panel like the menubar sorry i was thinking the launcher
it cant see the users?
speaking of the launcher why do i have an amazon icon in mine
i need to share with specific users, but the list of users isnt populating in the gui manager
do you have security = user or securtiy = share in smb.conf?
Yes, I have three little icons with an indication of the volume level for Master, PCM and headphone volume and muting state, and when I click one, it shows a slider control and checkbox hich I can use to adjust the volume and muting.
which*
my menubar is very full
PoolShark_: me?
That sort of thing is really convenient for me, and I haven't been able to easily set up anything too analogous in the newer desktop environments.
Laurenceb: yes
when will 12.04 be stable?..
ok
AquaL1te: its already stable
PoolShark_: where is smb.conf?
AquaL1te: also Quantal has been released and is stable
Laurenceb: /etc/samba
isnt 12.04 already stable?
AquaL1te  12.10 is the latest stable
well, it even can't reboot/power off
do what AquaL1te...
in my case, 12.04 is faster than 11.04 and 10.04
how are you commanding shutdown?
AquaL1te: it can, now what
#   security = user
sobig, i still use 8.04 ;P
PoolShark_: ^
AquaL1te: eve 13.04 powers off, hibernates and suspends here...
what is this package: 4.1.2-dfsg-1ubuntu1
no it can't, lenovo x220 and t410
Laurenceb: hrm... what GUI is it?
grr, there is no lts version before 10.04
multiple installations, different hardware
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/virtualbox/4.1.2-dfsg-1ubuntu1
PoolShark_: Samba Server Configuration
kernel upgrade doesn't work either
and then the other thing which stops me from upgrading is the fact that I started having random crashes to login screen, like at least one per day, which I don't get in natty.
i cant find it yet its a dep for vbox
keeps haning in the plymouth animation
AquaL1te, shutdown -r now, reboot, shutdown -h now, halt after shutdown..
and ill get the other commands
my 10.04 is still supported until 2013
PoolShark_: http://www.unixmen.com/how-to-configure-samba-using-a-graphical-interface-in-ubuntu/
im followiung that
Laurenceb: I've only ever configured samba by editing smb.conf... not sure why the GUI is being stupid
blackness, right... that's not a fix
AquaL1te: are there any bugs reported?
but i guess none of you have this problem?
gener1c: dfsg = debian free software guidelines
if you can create a share with the GUI, and then go in and add the "valid users = @user" to the share section in smb.conf, that will probably do what I think you are trying to do
great
AquaL1te, i never goto sleepmode, or hibernate mode..just shutdown or reboot..so i wouldnt know.
so anyways it doesnt exist anymore
(replace "@user" with the name of the user you want to have access to that share)
AquaL1te, I have a Lenovo X201 and everything works fine with 12.*
I'd really like a fork of Gnome 2 which didn't rename everything like Mate does, and which is truer to the original Gnome 2 than Cinnamon.
PoolShark_: the gui wont let me finish without users
pybe: well it can't be everything :D or you only use the terinal
llutz_: the pack doesnt exist
Cale: Gnome2 is dead upstream, I suggest you move on
ill speak to out network guys
gener1c: and your question is?
it may be i cant see everything properly from here
Laurenceb: don't know what to tell you then... other than maybe try using swat or just do it in smb.conf yourself
ok
ActionParsnip: Well, it may be dead upstream, but I don't have to like it :)
llutz_: is it supposed to exist or is it just a way to tell me to do it manually
Cale: very true
is there a way to contact ubuntu developers?
AquaL1te, I havent had any problems so far other than with my Gobi 2000 wwlan card which was my fault through bad setup
AquaL1te, try #ubuntu-devel
ActionParsnip: It just feels like in the past couple of years, all the UI designers have decided that they're bored with their jobs and started changing everything just for the sake of making things different. We have all these new flaky desktop environments right at the same time as Windows 8 is happening.
pybe: well my experience is the worst... even my debian unstable machine has less regressions that this 'stable enterprise' release
Cale: LXDE has stayed the same
BluesKaj: i'll give it a shot
Cale: Lubuntu simply changes the theme
AquaL1te, do you have any logs or error messages from your issues?
no it doesn't come far enough to start logging
AquaL1te: I suggest you report a bug
or when it shutsdown it already has unmounted /var i guess, nothing there anyway
i did... not enough info they said
i'll contact the devs, and otherwise i'll just switch my company to debian
Hi all! Just a quick question: Those who use laptop with ubuntu 12.10 or 12.04 what's the average battery discharge for you, for example when browsing web with wifi on and brightness half of maxium?
arbba: mine is about 10 mins but my battery is about 7 years old
arbba: :)
ActionParsnip: That's a reasonable point. I don't have an opinion of LXDE, but it does look more sensible than some of the other options.
* sobig trusts only apple's batteries
hi comunity..how to use sysctl command to show hardware in system..plz see the paste http://paste.ubuntu.com/1355175/ and suggest the right commnad
talpur_: tried hwinfo ?
arbba, I get 2-3 hours of acutal use from my Lenovo X201 and the battery is nearly half the capacity from when new.
ActionParsnip: and I've noticed that the Enlightenment guys have started up again, so I might also try that (but it would probably involve quite a bit of work to *really* make things how I wanted them to be)
talpur_  there's dmidecode
my sound not work plz help

ActionParsnip: I have tried a few things already (Unity, Gnome 3, Cinnamon, Mate), and have considered dropping back to not having a desktop environment and just using a plain ol' WM on top of X -- though I tend to miss things like all my panel applets for monitoring memory/CPU/network/HDD usage, temperatures, world clocks, volume controls, etc. But yeah, the problem isn't insurmountable. If I really had to, I could write all that software myself. It's just -- s
houldn't an acceptably-working version of all this sort of thing exist? Gnome 3 has an entirely new plugin system, and I could almost get them to the point where they covered these use cases, though it was much clunkier and less flexible than the Gnome 2 panel applets were.
hi
Cale: tried gnome-shell? It is the standard shell for 'normal' gnome3
ActionParsnip: right, yes, that's what I'm talking about
I guess I could also look for standalone versions of all this stuff which weren't too intrusive... or write them myself, if I wanted to sink a lot of time into it.
i am having this software bug me about its unsuccessful install due to a dep although i gave up on it and i am trying to install something else
talpur_  try piping it to egrep and the words you want
Cale: could just run openbox (no desktop) for supreme lightness
how do i abort its install request
talpur_  like: dmidecode | egrep blah
is there a ubuntu flavour with gnome2 for 12.04?
gener1c: try:   sudo apt-get -f install
i am having this software bug
sobig: not official ones
ActionParsnip: it didnt help
that's too bad
gener1c: can you pastebin the output of the command please
yeah
sweet 11.04 :)))
ActionParsnip: Yeah. I used to use pwm (which is similar to ion, though not a tiling WM), but I've become somewhat addicted to having all these various things hanging around on the edges of my display :)
11.04 is not a lts version afaik. it's end-of-life in one year
gener1c: thanks, the output will help us diagnose once we get the link
and the main problem with dropping back to not having a desktop environment for me is that I have to give up some of this functionality in one way or another.
sobig: 11.04 is dead right now
lol
(also, with upgrading to newer DEs which seem to lack one or more of these features)
sobig: April 2011 + 18 months as it is a regular release, I'll let you do the maths
MonkeyDust: plz see the pate http://paste.ubuntu.com/1355434/ and then suggest
damn

my ubuntu box lags even on openbox...
with only xchat and a terminal open
.-.
anyone knows why i got a grub error (and its console) about missing uuid's, after i've installed ubuntu on /dev/sda (it was the only drive connected than), and i've added another harddrive (which become /dev/sda, the older one is now /dev/sdb)? in fstab /boot partition is mounted by uuid, not by device name so changing of disks shouldn't matter (apparently- it does)?
ActionParsnip: http://pastebin.com/f4J0brJQ
whats up nerds :)
talpur_  type man dmidecode and scroll down to DMI types, you'll see
szymon_g, you can manually edit fstab to use the uuid of the drive
compdoc, the installer should set it properly. uuids do not change over reboot, are they? if yes- what was their advantage over /dev/sd* device names?
it boots fine when there is only 1 drive connected
talpur_  like: sudo dmidecode -t 0
szymon_g, you can also plug the drives in to the controller ports on the mainboard so that the drive that was sda becomes sda again
gener1c: i've always used the .deb to install vbox... never tried through apt-get
so the uuid of /boot partition is good. it cannot boot if the system is installed on /dev/sdb device (which appears only after another disk is plugged in)
talpur_  i'm off now, good luck!!
szymon_g, they dont change unless for format the partition of mess with the partition type
MonkeyDust: bunddle of thanks
i did nothing of that
*unless you
what is the difference between initctl and initctl.distrib
and why does initctl link to /bin/true
link==linked
i've just re-connected my old disks, sda and sdc (now). when i was installing ubuntu, it recognised the disk (ssd) as /dev/sda (because there was only 1 disk at the installation time). now this disk is /dev/sdb
szymon_g, its easy to edit fstab to use uuid. Also easy to rearrange the drives on the controllers
how i check my System CPU-name,,which command should I use
why should i modify the uuid? it works fine as long as there is only 1 drive connected
when i connect another disks, it doesn't boot
talpur_: grep name /proc/cpuinfo
szymon_g: that's why you use UUID
yes. and apparently they do not work fine on ubu, otherwise the amount of drives connected would be irrelevelant (or however it's spelled)
wtf.... gnome-classic lags less then openbox
llutz_: like one has cpu-name = AMD Opteron 256...the command u say show the Model
your computer doesnt care what you try to blame, or how you think it should work
wolfmitchell: openbox isn't very good
ActionParsnip: thanks
szymon_g: that's the case for pretty much anything with a Linux kernel
szymon_g: how the drives are connected and how they are identified to the system has an effect on the order they are detected in
gener1c: reading (got called away)
szymon_g: UUID solves this
gener1c: your issue is with cinammon which isn't supported here
gordonjcp, so what's the point of using uuids than? their main point was to make it dependless from device names
szymon_g: that's right
gordonjcp, not in that case. 1 disk= everythings fine. more disks- uuid /boot doesn't boot
szymon_g: you stick the UUID in, and it makes no odds what order things come up in
gener1c: you can satisfy the app with:  sudo dpkg --force-all -i /var/cache/apt/archives/insync-beta-gnome-cinnamon-common_0.9.25_i386.deb
* sobig adds sinamon in the coffee
szymon_g: is grub configured to use uuid?
yes i know, but in this case it doesn't work. i'll have to fill a bugreport or something
gener1c: but your 3rd party packager has bungled the packaging and duplicated the files in the package which overlap with the ones in another package
gener1c: i suggest you report the issue
szymon_g: yeah, sounds like you might have to
gordonjcp, UUID=b70777ab-c443-49ea-89c1-bf2662eed869 /boot           ext4    defaults        0       2
thats from /etc/fstab
can someone who is running 12.10 paste the output of sudo ls -la /sbin/initctl
szymon_g: okay, and what about your grub config?
szymon_g: grep sda /boot/grub/grub.cfg
gener1c: if you use 3rd party packages, there is no real quality control, unlike the official canonical ones
llutz, nothing is there. neither is sdb or sdc
gordonjcp, isn'g grub automatically configured on ubuntu to use that? it's fresh install, i haven't touch it
please?
milestone, -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 155560 Oct 12 20:30 /sbin/initctl
szymon_g: are you sure there is no old grub in the MBR of that drive becomming /dev/sda when you replug the other drives?
szymon_g: so it is not a link
szymon_g: great thx
milestone: it can be if you want :)
llutz, in the sda? hm... i don't know
ActionParsnip: yes if you do not want your system to start anything ;)
how can i erase it without loosing content of drive?
i used to have a win8 on it
szymon_g: wipe the first 440 Byte of the 1st sector of the disk
ActionParsnip: i used the official conanical ones
they didnt work
gener1c: no, its a PPA. Canonical do not package Cinammon
in regards to vbox
gener1c: the issue isn't vbox
szymon_g: other way round: do you change boot-order in the BIOS if you replug the drives?
llutz_: Which commnad is used to know operating system detail,
gener1c: read the pastebin, the issue is that a file in the cinammon package cannot overwrite one of the standing files
ok then, how do i kick that request out of my install i am not trying to do anything that is even remotely close to insync ActionParsnip
talpur_: detail as?
gener1c: so the vbox will not install til the packages are square. This is because you are using Cinammon which is unofficial
gener1c: I suggest you report this tyo the Cinammon guys so they can sort their packaging out
llutz, i've had it by defaoult to boot it from my sdb drive. i'll check it in a sec, ok?. now i have to go- work :/
cant i bypass that issue somehow? ActionParsnip
gener1c: yes, I gave you the command earlier
gener1c: it makes the file be overwritten regardles but if you remove either package it will break the packaging
gener1c: you may also find updating gets upset too due to the overlapping file
llutz_: detail..like OS name, OS file, OS comipler, OS sate etc
ActionParsnip: dpkg: error: --install needs at least one package archive file argument
gener1c: if you add 3rd party PPAs compiled and built by whoknows, then you can more than likely expect issues
gener1c: you can satisfy the app with:  sudo dpkg --force-all -i /var/cache/apt/archives/insync-beta-gnome-cinnamon-common_0.9.25_i386.deb
gener1c: copy and paste
oh right
gener1c: I copied and pasted that from earlier
sorry
gener1c: 'scroll up' is a wonderful feature of modern OSes
i use irssi and pageup :P
gener1c: same deal ;)
gener1c: me too :)
ActionParsnip: which command is used to know the Operating system detail like OS name, OS file, OS comipler, OS sate etc
talpur_: "lsb_release -a", "gcc --version" idk what "OS file/sate" are
llutz_: dude that was FAST
ActionParsnip: 3mins, not really
llutz_: oh, asked before?
:D
* ActionParsnip withdraws llutz_'s gold medal
llutz_: thanks.....for example file: ext3 , state= runlevel3
llutz_, talpur_, don't forget uname
talpur_: sudo blkid
talpur_: sudo parted -l    will show the file system type
talpur_: are you using a desktop OS?
llutz_: thanks
ActionParsnip: thanks
talpur_: are you using a desktop OS?
ActionParsnip: yes
talpur_: then the runlevel will always be 5
talpur_: you see, there is no single command to gather all that information. you have to do some research
llutz_: thanks i will do
Hi all I was wondering I have a cue file and a flac file I used to use a cue splitter on windows is there any gui progrsm like that for ubuntu?
dean__: https://bytebin.wordpress.com/2009/11/20/split-flac-by-cue-file-in-linux/
dean__: source: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=cue+and+flac+file+ubuntu
dean__: took me....60 seconds?
dean__, Also, check out Flacon
dean__: did you even search a little?
ActionParsnip: even if ubottus factoid is named "google", doesn't it cover duckduckgo too? ;)
ActionParsnip, I did but I came across cli commands but I aint too great with terminal commands still a bit of a noob medievil cue splitter used to do it all for me
llutz_: just absolutely astonished how I can find this stuff in seconds with the most remedial search term....
jCuber, Flacon is that a program?
dean__, You can try running it under Wine or then download Flacon (http://kde-apps.org/content/show.php?content=113388)
dean__, Yup, with a GUI, too
dean__: yes, but if the commands are on the page for you to COPY then your ability in command line is negated
jCuber, You are a legend just what I am after
ActionParsnip, The web commands confuse me sometimes
dean__: the page also mentions flacon if you read down
ActionParsnip: but true you are...
ActionParsnip, How come you are giving me a hard time? I have been a user of windows a long time and I am still getting to grips with Linux I can do simple commands like sudo apt-get
dean__: but the commands are there, you can copy and paste text, right?
reach for the gold ring!   take your linux-fu skill to the next level.
ActionParsnip, I can copy and paste but its when it starts asking you to start typing in commands for locations and etc is when I get stuck?
dean__: then put the files in the root of your home folder using the file browser (sure you can do that) then the first time you open the terminal the files are ready to be worked on
dean__: no changing of folder is needed :)
back
lollko: again help me
ActionParsnip, I have added the ppa for flacon now much simpler
saw a neat site that had recorded bash sessions for different tasks. made learning some of the basics of bash handy.
jCuber: you metion uname ...where it use
dean__: no worries :)
ActionParsnip, Thanks though
i need reset my sound setting
plz help
raesi clarify the exact problem.
dean__: learning CLI is good, GUI tools are nice but they are restrictive compared to CLI :)
talpur_, What exactly do you mean by "where it use"? in the terminal ofc
raesi: killall pulseadio; rm -r ~/.pulse*
pulseadio: no process found
ActionParsnip, Will do when I start getting braver I would love to learn tar.gz one day lol
raesi: killall pulseaudio; rm -r ~/.pulse*
hello everyone
jCuber: can you write the full commnad again....!runlevel | talpur gives the bash error
dean__: you won't use that much unless you fancy a play
rm: cannot remove `/home/foad/.pulse*': No such file or directory
ActionParsnip, Theres certain programs that aren't linux native that have a tar.gz to install there programs though
raesi: ok, wait 10 seconds, reboot and you should have default sound
dean__:  .tar.gz is just an archive. ;) learning to etract it is the easy part.
ok
dr_willis, Compiling it is another lol
dean__:  a few apps come precompiled in .tar.gz  you exctact then cd to the dir and run.. ;)
but those are rare
ActionParsnip: because sound not worked
ActionParsnip: sorry to bother u,,,how we find the base_ptrsize
talpur_, What command do you mean?
i have a problem. how can i install pci dial up modem ?
jCuber, Just waiting for flacon to install now is it user friendly?
dean__:  compiling somting from source that is allready in the repos (as an older version for example) can be a lot easier with the build-deps option to apt-get . ;)
i have modemdata.txt
talpur_: do you expect us to do your homework?
raesi: that command defaults sound to vanilla settings
paste it here ?
dr_willis: my sound already working , after install software sound not worked
dr_willis, You make it sound so easy lol
dean__, Don't know, I've never used it. It looked pretty easy in the screenshots tho
raesi what software?
jCuber: yes
jCuber, Sorry thought you were a veteran with it lol
dean__, Haha, just searched it up for ya
raesi: what is the output of: wget -O alsa-info.sh http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh && chmod +x ./alsa-info.sh && ./alsa-info.sh --upload
dr_willis:sbagen and sbagui
talpur_: not even sure what that is, sorry
llutz_: No i alreay write sorry to bother u.....I have from night I am trying to update config file for SPEC2006...these some comannad I couldn't find
raesi:  and those are/do what?
Your ALSA information is located at http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=29f3e55dafb908877bb04b7edede3c3fd4c0f675
talpur_ "sudo parted -"? ""lsb_release -a", "gcc --version
llutz_:any way if you were irrited sorrfor that
Hello. Does anyone here have any tips for me? I have just built a HTPC/NAS computer with Ubuntu (xubuntu since I dont want Unity) installed. Its working pretty good with mdadm raid5 and such. But now I want to use it together with my TV and the picture worked right out of the box when it comes to video. But when I try to get the HDMI audio working I got stuck. I went into BIOS and chose digital
audio to HDMI instead of SPDIF. And in the Volume Control I can see HDMI output and use it. I have chosen it and when im playing music the bars are moving. But there are still no sound. Anyone know anything that I can check?
jCuber, I think I have done it
Hi everyone, how much SWAP space does ubuntu 12.10 need?
talpur_, "lsb_release -a", "gcc --version? "sudo uname -a"?
jCuber: thaks
here is modemdata.txt http://pastebin.com/DDi8AjB1
how can i run it ?
thebiffman:  try the pavcontrol tool perhaps
did i apell that right
raesi: let me check
ActionParsnip: ok
gnome ppp doesn`t work
pavUcontrol  ;)   thebiffman
jCuber, That was really helpful thank you.
probably it is win modem
magesing: see this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq
thebiffman:  i seem to have to use it once to get my system to use hdmi out audio. not sure why
raesi: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/1355494/
dean__, You're welcome :)
dr_willis: I think that the same tool im using.
Is anyone familiar with devede?
i read manual about modems but i don`t understand it ...
dean__:  it works.. ;) care to ask a real question about it.
dr_willis, Haha very funny I have used it in the past I like it however audio is slightly out of sync any ideas how to resolve that?
beginnere fail to click on that resize/recalculate button in devede i notice...
anyone here using kde?
dean__:  never really noticed that issue
dr_willis: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/699329/sound.png
Anybody has any idea ?
simplew, Don't know about here, but #kubuntu definitely has KDE users
dr_willis, I like it but still have to use a windows based program to do my authoring and mp3tag as well wish I could find a linux native program to do everything then I would be complete : p
ActionParsnip: thanks
i'v tried many time to change my pseudo , but my change seem not to be saved . anybody have an idea ?
jCuber: but im asking here
simplew, Then go ahead and !ask :)
dean__: mp3tag, you tried easytag or kid3?
dean__: and yes, both have a GUI
dean__:  ive never had the issue. but i tend to just load up a dvd with cartoons on an endless loop for the grandkids
raesi: you may benefit from the later Alsa
Hello. How can I have more than 4 virtual desktops, and all in one line (so I don't need to use ctrl-up/down to switch between them?)
llutz, I have tried a few I think but none easy to use like mp3tag I just like to change the tags and add album covers nothing too fancy?
Mmike:  i dont think unity supports them that way. gnome-shell does
unity enforces a X x X square layout.   x   3x3  2x2  and so on
[n]
heh :/
ActionParsnip:thanks
it is possible to use this modem in ubuntu 12.10 ?
Well this is unfortunate. That I have to sell my completely new NAS/HTPC just because Linux cannot handle HDMI. This sucks =(
that's really annoying :/
dr_willis, are you using gnome-shell?
thebiffman, What are you talking about? I use HDMI all the time
thebiffman:  or it may just work if you find the right driver update or kernel or other tweak
raesi: its on the sound troubleshooting procedure page
Mmike:  been playing with gnome shell lately
dr_willis, what are you thoughs on it?
Mmike, dr_willis, I'm using it all the time
ok
I just upgraded from 11.04 (had to) to 12.04 (fresh insstall) and I feel like someone tied my hands :/
hi , i'v tried many time to change my pseudo , but my change seem not to be saved . anybody have an idea ?
mmik  id rather it be more like android. ;)
Mmike: try XFCE, it smells a lot like Gnome2
unity in 12.10 i find easier to use
ActionParsnip, have you tried using it? :)
dr_willis, I work as a computer programmer and a system administrator - touchpad like interface is really not something I can find much use for :)
lubuntu is good for old school needs
i'm missing all the whitstless and bells in lxde
Mmike, You should try the interfaces and choose which one feels the best
hi
i just run my apps and alt tab around...   de dosent maaaaaaatter muuch to me
:D
Sukar, Hey! Have a question?
Mmike: sure
no
Mmike: Ive tried a few desktops and window managers
jCuber, yup, doing that now :/ remembering the old days when I was switching from fvwm to wmaker to enlightenment to gnome
i wanna chating with us
:D
never actually used KDE
Mmike: LXDE is pretty sweet
Problem is that according to the system the HDMI is working and is in use. But I have no luck using google since Im not certain what to google after. Im using the new AMD FM2-socket A-series APU with a ASUS motherboard that has the HDMI integrated. I have chosen HDMI for digital audio in bios. Im out of ideas. Hence why I came here. May be some general things I can check....
Mmike: my first desktop was KDE in Mandrake 7
=)
thebiffman:  'brand new' hardware is often the most problematic. it may take a few weeks for the kernel and drivers to get fixed for stuff
My first desktop was an X server with nothing running .-.
ActionParsnip, I miss a lot of plugins there - for instance, cpu/mem/io/net graphs, then concrete upload/download rates, then giplet (my current outbound IP), then temperatre sensors (ok, I can live without those), then I hate that my email and pidgin messages are going all to the same  notification bin :/
thebiffman, Not sure if this helps you, but I guess it's worth a shot: http://maketecheasier.com/setup-hdmi-digital-playback-in-linux/2011/01/05
ok, sorry, this was ranting :/
cliff_: i'm sure there are people here that use irssi
Mmike: why do you want the CPU and RAM loads etc?
irssi has 10000s of guides out for it also
i prefer weechat to irssi these days
pidgin all the way
i can't find any linux irc client that i like ^^;
irssi now as I'm at work ssh'd home
cnf: what have you tried?
cnf, Tried xchat?
weechat+znc ;)
jCuber: on xchat, man is it ugly!
yuck
cnf, xchat-gnome?
ugly? never noticed
cnf: what irc clients have you tried?
big text area.. and tabs.. what more do you need..
I like xchat... And it's lua scripting plugin
<3 irssi
ActionParsnip, i just want to know what my computer is using. It's very very informative when doing various tests. Some of my apps (that I make) sometimes start eating ram, and I can see that vividly there.
Dr_willes, userlist.
ActionParsnip: xchat, irssi, pidgin, quassel
Mmike: ahh if you are a dev then its handy :)
uhm, what was the other kirc thing
Cnf, kvirc?
mitch|mobile: i turn that  off. i find it useless
morning folks - is there a good SVN client for Ubuntu out there?
ActionParsnip, yup :/ feels like unity is designed for people like my grandma :/ I think even 4 virtual desktops is too much for her
Well, there is telnet...
Mmike: I only use one myself
not tried loqui
jCuber: Im checking out the link.. First step I have done.
brb, going out for a minute
Gotta go, school...
Gotta go; Noodles, ice-cream and orange juice

mens: over the network?
ActionParsnip: thnx
<ActionParsnip> YES

<ActionParsnip> just a moment
mens: if you run:  smbtree on the Ubuntu system, do you see shares?
mens: can you ping the Ubuntu system from Windows?
mens: do you have a firewall configured in Ubuntu>
jCuber: No luck with the link either. Its so frustrating. It seems to be working. Device names and everything. But no sound.
maybe xbindkeys would help

<ActionParsnip> I try teamviewer but speed of transfer is very low
jCuber: thanks, but I guess I figured it out.. I just used synaptic to remove all unity (and lightdm) packages that did not conclict with GNOME ;) but thanks anyway
mens, first, is windows and ubuntu on the same computer??

vooze, All of my mouses have worked out of the box :) Just matter of preference.
jCuber: well yestoday I bought the steelseries sensei.. terrible...
men pressing some of the buttons it would freeze for 18 secs
Really a windows-only product ;)
hmz, konversation is just as bad as xchat ^^;

haha dunno.. :D
cnf, You changed the colors? Fonts? You can customize these programs you know :D
yes, yes i did

can anyone help?...
jCuber: and black bg, for anything that is fixed width text
<ActionParsnip> yes
xok: Well I had the same problem one time, back then.. but its soooo long ago, cant really remember what I did to fix it.
xok, ALT+F2 and run "network-indicator"?
if I go to ubuntu.com and download a disk image, the image is 753MB
xok, I mean indicator-network
or was it nm-applet
dr_willis, Porbably  is :P
mens: then run:  sudo smbpasswd -a $USER         you will need to authenticate as sudo, then set a password. You can then authenticate as your username using the password
is the image supposed to be burned to a CD, or a DVD?
rham: DVD or USB
rham: 12.10 is dvd
:-/
12.10 lubuntu can fit on cd
why make a DVD image that's 753MB?
that's absurd
as can the server iso
or just download the alternative CD and download the apps you need?
There is no alternate CD for 12.10
rham: use USB :)
ah, sorry ;)
if you're going to make the image so big it can only fit on a DVD, why not fill it with useful stuff?
absurd was sticking to cd limits for so long
why not make it 3.5GB?
rham: because thats for linux mint ;) haha, no reason to fill it with stuff you might not need
they exersized self controll
dr_willis: thank you very much, I just rebooted the system and it appeared but yes, the applet was named nm-applet...
<ActionParsnip> I try to access ubuntu via local IP adress (192.168.1.101). And windows 7 write me: windows cannot access 192.....
dr_willis: the linuxtycon game has a complaint by users that the distro doesn't fit on a CD, even in the year 3000
mens: can you ping the IP
<ActionParsnip> I change my SMB PASS, that do not solve my issue
mens: can you ping the IP
vooze: there is a reason: not to waste four fifths of a CD
s/CD/DVD/
<ActionParsnip> yes, ping go!
rham: bigger reason.. save server load...
and bandwith of torrents

anyone uses intel NIC 39Y6128 with ubuntu?
< jCuber> rham, You're starting to think like Microsoft
rham, Then I'm sorry if that insulted you.

rham insulting on "You're starting to think like Microsoft" hahah relly funy...go go go more :-)
Man I gotta check out these factoids before doing that

Hello guys
Hi, pratz
I am using ubuntu 12.04 with classic gnome desktop
Yes?
can i use classic gnome with HUD ?
pratz, What do you mean with "HUD"?
jCuber: heads up display in 12.04
pratz, Heads up display? They finished the hologram technology already? I think you're talking User Interface (UI) :)
i'm installing 12.04 on a pretty old system with an nvidia 6150. the live cd env works ok. after installing unity looked very glitchy. i enabled the 3rd party drivers, which didn't fix the problem,
jCuber: yes the UI
jCuber: I watched this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DIQXKrH46wI
i tried to reboot and i keep getting "failed to set mode on crtc". i've tried to cp the xorg.conf.failsave to xorg.conf and that didn't work. i also tried dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg,
and that results in another "failed to set mode on crtc" message to get printed to kernel log
jCuber: here they showed gnome classic with Unity 2D
pratz, You should be able to get the Unity UI by doing "sudo apt-get install unity" or Installing Unity from the software center, then logging out and then selecting Unity
jCuber: I have the unity UI already, but logging in to gnome classic and using unity 2D is showing in that video
pratz, So you want Gnome Classic?
jCuber: I use gnome classic, but want to use unity 2D
pratz, Then you log out, select Unity 2D from there and log back in
jCuber: please see the video, "Unity 2D meets gnome classic"
pratz, Haven't installed Flash, can't.
pratz, So you want the Unity launcher but want to use Gnome Classic?
jCuber: that's it
"sudo apt-get install gnome-session-fallback unity-2d-launcher" then open console and run "unity-2d-shell"
ls
jCuber: that's cool
pratz, Working?
jCuber: yes
jCuber: how can i reduce the size of unity launcher icon ?
pratz, I don't use Unity, but try Right-clicking it and see if there's "preferences" or "properties"
ping me!
pratz, Actually, 1. Press "ALT+F2", then write "ccsm" in the Run dialog. 2. Find the "Ubuntu Unity Plugin" entry 3. Go to the "Experimental" tab and there should be a "Launcher icon size"
Is there a way to define a network specific hosts file? For example, I use dyndns to access my home server when away from home. I'd like to use the same domain entry to access when at home.
jCuber: if you want to customize unity you should try unsettings. omgubuntu just made a post about it
jCuber: no application ccsm
k1l_, Ah, Okay. I don't follow omgubuntu :P
would anyone recommend a good tray or other small system monitor for ubuntu?
#@Romance
pratz: ok, see what i just said (thought jCuber got the question)
Hi, I have a preseed script to install new machines and it works. But now I am trying to ship some firewall configurations to it, using iptables on late_command. However it says the iptables modules is not loaded, how could I enable the iptables modules on my preseed late_command?
pratz  http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2012/11/unsettings-a-comprehensive-tweaking-tool-for-unity
Sukar: was that to me?
RobOakes, Why not use a DNS server?
Hi jCuber, that's probably the best option.
I've never really used bind, and thought it seemed like a lot of hassle for a little thing.
But it's really the best thing.
(Based upon the sources I've been able to find. I was hoping someone else might have an easier idea.)
RobOakes, so you want your hosts file to change by network connection?
jCuber: Yes. When I'm on my home network, I'd like to have an entry point point to the internal address for my server: 192.168.0.x
When outside of the house, I'd like for it to get the IP from the dyndns server.
k1l_: MonkeyDust it is not applying changes, should i restart the machine ?
RobOakes, This might help you: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1355648/
RobOakes: if your server has a static IP, you could just use the /etc/hosts file on the client system
pratz: "Some changes require log out to take effect"
jCuber: That's exactly what I was hoping to get, thanks.
zykotick9: Unfortunately, it doesn't have a static IP :(
k1l_: like launcher icon size ?
RobOakes, You're welcome. Found it from here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1555752 =)
RobOakes: the local address isn't static?  why not?
zykotick9: Sorry, I misunderstood. The local address is static.
pratz: i didnt try that. did you click on the accept button in the menue-row in unsettings?
I don't have a static address for my home network.
RobOakes: i figured.  so on your local network, you could use hosts file to "fake" the network address DNS name...
k1l_: yes the "apply" button
anyone here knows about FreePBX ?
I know about it, but I haven't played with it :(
looks like nvidia-current isn't installable on 12.10? "unable to find kernel source". installing the linux-source package doesn't change that.
One thing on my want-to-play-with list
edve, I don't, at least. You can try #freepbx if nobody here answers you
"dpkg-reconfigure nvidia-current" reproduces the problem.
multi_io, Which GPU do you have?
multi_io: do you have the kernel headers installed?
jCuber: Quadro FX 5800
ActionParsnip: yes. I thought that would suffice.
in 12.04 it did.
multi_io: sudo apt-get install linux-headers-generic
How do I set my installed KDE as the default?
bluegrass  lightdm remembers your last choice
oh ok thanks md
Chawwk & Balls! Do it in C if you broke it with your trash java.
hey guys, what should I do if application does not support socks4 but I want to run it over tor ?
ActionParsnip: is installed
lkthomas you mean you wanna pump it into 9050? Use Torsocks
CodeRat:  does it included on ppa repo ?
CodeRat: nevermind, found it
lkthomas not sure. I am using Debian wheezy.
lkthomas you would just do a cmd like "torsocks xchat" or whatever you want to pump into the pipe
lkthomas: er, that was for you ^
about a week ago, I noticed that my fonts on applications in ubuntu become blurry - its somewhat random. It affects every application. When I highlight the text, it will re-rasterize and become clear again, but after a few seconds, it will go blurry again.  Does anyone know about this problem? My google searching was unsuccessful.
MotherMGA: what is the output of:  lsb_release -sc
ubottu yeah thats really important. Most of the safe programs are listed on their page.
lol
damn bot
precise
thanks
Installing nvidia drivers causes compiz not to load on login. Reproducible with nvidia-current and nvidia-experimental-310, on Ubuntu 12.10
Any ideas how to fix?
I believe it's related to the active blurring on the unity menu
MotherMGA: have you tried ubuntu-tweak to set the font hinting higher?
Not yet. I haven't had this problem until a week ago.
lkthomas here is a list of the safe things to drop into the tor pipe http://code.google.com/p/torsocks/
Hello!
I don't see an ubuntu-tweak in the apt-get repositories
Is it possible to install Ubuntu over already existing Ubuntu (to start from the ground, from the Zero) and to save all the files in ~/ Folder (like music, pictures and documents)?
In /var/lo/Xorg.0.log there is a line: (EE) Failed to initialize GLX extension (Compatible NVIDIA X driver not found)
alexxxxxxa ummm yeah. dist-upgrade ?
alexxxxxxa you just want to clean your computer of junk or you want to upgrade?
not dist-upgrade. I'd like to change from Xubuntu 12.04 to Ubuntu 12.10 (something doesn't work on my PC, I screwed up something. so want to install from zero)
alexxxxxxa yeah wait I think I have the "cmd" to do that.
ciao
alexxxxxxa http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/pureubuntu
hello there
ActionParsnip: I think its related to the active blur setting in the unity tweaks for dash blur. I used to be able to set it to no blur or static blur and it take effect. now that setting does nothing.
Installing Nvidia drivers on Ubuntu, Xorg log shows (EE) Failed to initialize GLX extension (Compatible NVIDIA X driver not found). Any ideas on how to fix?
alexxxxxxa or you could always follow my youtube tutorial =) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3WnaZL3ARN0
I'm not getting a compositing window manager (unity/compiz) on login
CodeRat: hey, I got tons of symbol not found on libtorsocks, any idea why ?
CodeRat: Wow, Debian looks fantastic there :)
lkthomas did you do it like usewithtor xxxx ?
CodeRat: yes, same result
I think I hit a bug
alexxxxxxa thx. I am using Debian as you see. Here is some old Ubuntu stuff www.youtube.com/watch?v=L0IDV6r-bCI&feature=plcp .I had to leave Ubuntu when they started with Unity since I am always in a terminal.
CodeRat: what's alternative with tor ? torsocks seems have bugs
lo all; wonder if any1 eelse thinks ubunut website SUCKS.... no md5's; can't find info on livecd/dvd.... doesn't seem to be ANYTHING easy about it unless you have no questions!!
wekekekekekeke
rame...rameeeee
join #android-dev
ok - does any1 know where md5's and live-boot downloads are on ubuntu website ?
Hey, I am looking to install Lubuntu on this old computer, but have not been successful; the installer hangs on the Live distro after choosing my language. Oddly enough, the same exact thing happens with Ubuntu 12.10
RyanL: what video chip do you use?
i just installed 12.10 on a dell t610, and it hangs on disk partitioning.... obviously they fixed that problem ... ;o)
guruguy: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuHashes
My video chip is an ATI, unsure of which.
RyanL: try the boot option: nomodeset
I can run Live Lubuntu and Ubuntu 12.10 as well as a full install of Mint Linux.
* Erik_D was wondering what the message was
lol the same thing a 10 second google turned up
tx very much for your reply botty bot - but i know how to MAKE md5 - i need SOURCE md5's from ubuntu!!!
check the site we both sent you
hashes | guruguy
guruguy: the MD5 how to ALSO contains a link to the hashes
guruguy: did you even click the links? they're all listed >.<
hi
i did click link; but obviously i ddin't read it once i saw it was a how to make md5... i will reread... tx and sorry
is there a ! for telling people to google stuff?
If I downloaded the .iso from the Ubuntu website, is it safe to assume I can skip the md5sumcheck?
RyanL:  check it anyway
Erik_D, yeah. and never tell people to "google it"
oh, ouch.
good to know, thanks.
RyanL: no, the data can still be damaged in transit
Installing nvidia-current or nvidia-experimental-310 causes compiz not to load. Any ideas on how to fix?
Is there a chance that I needed to get the 32-bit version? I can run the 64 live though :/
RyanL: the source is absolutely irrelevant. If it passes MD5 test then the data is complete and correct
thanks action
Erik_D:  i tend to reccomend   askubuntu.com first anyway ;)
dr_willis: that's new? I've been out of ubuntu for a while, I tend to prefer openSUSE
* Erik_D clicks around
Quick question guys, is anybody else experiencing problems with fglrx on ubuntu 12.10?
Erik_D:  1.10 has some neat features in unity. and ubuntu on the nexus 7 is being alpha tested
my 2 key is flakey.. ;)
TheNumb:  it can depend on your exact chipset a great deal
* MonkeyDust likes 'quick questions', as they are always the most complicated to answer
dr_willis: it's a fairly new one... radeon hd 7730M

i like playing 0 questions to get down to the real question. ;)

doing a reinstall of 12.10 on dell t610 w/ 4 sata's in raid 10 w/ mdadm ONLY thing i need is re-install grub; but can't b/c install insists on partition-disks - which hangs @ 50%. i've already tried manually install grub / chroot / grub-* - all fail.
TheNumb: right off the bat, ati chips tend to work way crappier on linux
Erik_D: I know that ;c
TheNumb: unfortunately, I don't really know much beyond that, sorry :(
I was hoping I could disable the amd gpu and only use intel.
TheNumb: That's probably through BIOS
Erik_D: no option to do that.
guruguy:  tried a live cd and that  boot-repair tool yet? i dont know how well it handles raid
This laptop does not have a hardware mux.
dual gpu systems = the latest 'top 10' problrm these days
Well, most systems are dual gpu these days, lol :P
have not tried live cd - can't locatee it for download... am now DL'g entire install dvd but that's 2 hrs away
Is there *any* way to fix this issue with nvidia then?
[    47.637] (EE) Failed to initialize GLX extension (Compatible NVIDIA X driver not found)
Walther:  you on some dual gpu setup also?
Walther: are you sure you model is supported by current/experimental?
Yes, I'm having problems on my Zenbook UX32VD
Intel HD4000 - Nvidia 620M
you have installed that bumblebee tool?
Walther  that error returns a lot of hits on duckduckgo, but no solution, i guess you're out of luck
dr_willis: with bumblebee installed, i'm not sure if it uses nvidia at all
Walther: hybrid GPU i all sorts of pain in Linux
I've heard
somehow I don't understand how it can be that big of an issue
Walther: nvidia refuse to support it outside of windows
i canr understand why the 3d card cant handle d as wekk... ;)
My laptop is reporting a very low battery, but it is almost at full charge. The time to empty seems right, but the charge percentage reported is very low, apparently because it is confused about what the max charge is. Does anyone know how to resolve this issue?
is there a CLI ONLY version of ubuntu to install and start with?
nvidia has made mention of supporting optimus on linux. but ive not seen much news on that lately
zykotick9: thank you
ActionParsnip: Well, i mean, the "real" issue, not only the attitude problem
ActionParsnip: thank you too
as in, intel "gpu" is inside the CPU, and nvidia is its own chip
Walther: they did join the linux foundation a bit ago so it may change
so it should be trivial to change between those
bbl
ActionParsnip: Yes, and currently all the work done by Valve
im not sure anything with computers these days is trivial..
but anyway, i'm talking about what is the issue behind them not working
bumblebee just turns on one or the other dosent it? under windows it can change on the fly? or am i confused. again..
Hey guys, is there anyway to ignore imported files tests? i.e. I import numpy but don't want numpys tests contributing to my coverage?
just best to avoid it all together, its a mess
nosetests is?
Sorry i didn't even say I was using nosetests...
omg - what's cmd to turn off entry/quit msgs ?
guruguy, which client
eb
(web)
in the settings menu
guruguy, top left button?

It also appears to be reporting 2 batteries
hmm lk'd there; i will again
i recall the freenode web client having a settings/checkbox to hide part/joins
yep - TYVM - thought 'options' was header, not selection item ! :)
these mondern design  interfaces. ;) back in my day menu items had >>> or ... when they led to other dialogs..   ....
* dr_willis waves his cane..
heh TUI
when 'clean look' overrides 'useability' and 'obviousness'
lol - not sure i like web client - tho convienient... rec's on good irc client app ?
is there a way to check if a service is set to autostart without chkconfig?
fisher-price UI
guruguy:  i tend to use weechat or xchat
Hi, how do make Ekiga work in Ubuntu?
"do you"

I can make some calls but in doesn't seem to work.

Hello!  When a user is on the Desktop and starts typing a box in the lower left corner shows up... what is that?
hello
nzaccardi:  nautilus's search entry field
keith_:  a few full drain / full charge cycles might help
could somebody help me creat a script to kill a process if it exceedes >30% CPU use for 15 seconds?
dr_willis: What does it do?
or was that on the right side?
nzaccardi: search in the nautilus running drawing the desktop icons
this killg me... bbl...
keith_: I'm not too sure what too do about the double battery
where are  you
ActionParsnip:  Thanks, didn't think of that.  Was looking for a neato command to put into a script for checking.
ActionParsnip, dr_willis: Can I launch applications from it?
nzaccardi:  type in somthing like 'terminal' and hit enter and see.. not on a pc at the moment
dr_willis: Nothing...
hi ;)
nzaccardi:  if you tap alt thats the hud search/launcher. super = the dash launcher.. i think
in the file manager. its to select a file i belive
dr_willis: Thanks,  I will do some more research.
im not on a ubuntu box to verify
nzaccardi:  press and hold  super = show a shortcuts screen   ;)
Anybody want to help me?
Can someone get http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/m/mesa/libxatr[remove]acker1_8.0.4-0ubuntu0.2_i386.deb package, rename it and send me back?
arvislacis: What is your questions...
I need assistance getting an HP LaserJet Pro 400dn (M451) installed in kubuntu 12.10.  System Settings detected it and installed it but nothing prints and the que stays empty
Only remove [remove] part.
thats theres a difference between taping the key, and a press/hold action , seems to confuse people
I think I use hp utility under 11.10
nzaccardi: kinda, if you have binaries in the desktop (unlikely)
dr_willis: I cannot find the gui for it after installing it.
ActionParsnip: Is there anything for Linux... like alfred for Mac OS X
JuJuBee:  no idea on thet. not used it in years
andrea_: you script to kill high cpu usage is... misguided.
alfred does what exactly?
Any help for my problem with libxa.t.r.a.c.k.e.r package?
I am trying to perform an MD5 checksum on the distro CD I burned, I can't figure out how to do it (I am currently using WIndows)
dr_willis: I found it. they changed icon
RyanL:  theres md5 tools for windows. you install them, right click on the cd drive. select 'md5 chekc' i recall
Now I'm getting "unable to load module nvidia, doesn't exist"
thanks drwillis
RyanL:  also check the iso files sum
:(
I can't update my system correctly.
any solution for intel/amd swithcable graphics laptop ?
sudo: nvidia-xconfig: command not found
now what is this D:
I am trying to load 12.04 onto a machine with win 8 already installed...
I booted up onetime iwith the 12.04 disc, blew past the configuration and wanted to make special configuration change to the amount of space, set up a shared partition and now, despite having win8 try to boot the ubuntu disk, it won't boot from it
is win8 that 'smart' that you get one and only one chance and then that's it?
bonez2046: did you install the bootloader? :)
bkc_: the 'bootloader'? I figured that if I could just get ubuntu installed it would install a bootloader, but I reset it before any of that could get configured
sudo nvidia-xconfig -> command not found?
Hi, my resolv.conf contains: nameserver 127.0.1.1, why? shouldn't it get the dns from my router or isp? how can I troubleshoot this?
the installation screen would NOT allow me to go backward to halt or quit the installation
bonez2046  there's this (havent tried it myself) http://www.intowindows.com/dual-boot-windows-8-and-ubuntu/
bkc_: does my response help
[   290.925] (EE) Failed to load module "nvidia" (module does not exist, 0)
MonkeyDust: thanks...taking a look now
Walther: sudo apt-get install nvidia
bkc_: I have nvidia-current installed
bkc_: and there is no such package as "nvidia"
so it looks like with win8 I have to set up a new partition from win8, and not just from the ubuntu install side? Does this suggest that win 8 demands full control of what gets loaded on a drive?
ActionParsnip: why are you giving those too me? o.O
so, uh, now I don't have any working nvidia support at all, and my resolution on GUI is 640x480
bkc_: to show the right package name
Walther: what graphics card do you have?
bkc_: Intel HD4000 and Nvidia 620M
optimus is obviously causing the problem here
hello, i have foobar.pls stored on my sdcard (along with music) and when i open up rhythmbox and select the sdcard, it says "Could not determine type of stream" ... how do i get rhythmbox to register playlists on my sdcard ?
rocky: you need to install non-free codecs (ubuntu-restricted-extras) from Software Center or apt-get
bkc_, what's the package name for that?
oh
ok
rocky: do keep in mind that some of those codecs are actually illegal in USA, and that they are non-free :)
bkc_, i'm not in the usa ;)   which package specifically will give rhythmbox pls support?
arvislacis: So, please explain once more what you problem is and what you want us to do about it.
because i think i already have the non-free repos activated
rocky: it has nothing to do with the .pls-file, it's probably an mp3/aac file in that list that causes it too fail :)
I have problem updating my system because my internet ban the word t.r.a.c.k so I can't download http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/m/mesa/libxatr[remove]acker1_8.0.4-0ubuntu0.2_i386.deb package babilen
bkc_, it plays mp3's fine
and there's only one music file on the device, it's an mp3
Why doesn't Ekiga work?
arvislacis: What happens if you try to download that package? And what kind of brain-dead administrator runs your network?
arvislacis, are you trying to use a torrent download , if that's failing just try the http download
babilen: It just don't allow to download, "Failed to fetch error", it is the University network.
BluesKaj: I use Terminal - want say it is illegal? :D
rocky: you do know that pls-files are mostly for radio-stations right? use an .m3u file instead :)
no it's not illegal to use torrent clients to download opensource files . arvislacis
arvislacis: Please speak to whoever is responsible for that as content filtering like that is not only ridiculous but completely stupid. Give me a second though, I'll see what I can do.
Hello.  I did a clean install of 12.10 yesterday.  Ktorrent no longer puts its' icon in the top bar.  Is there any way to restore it?
BluesKaj: I hate illegal stuff and now I am starting to hate open-source.
arvislacis: this has nothing to do with open source, it has to do with the policies of your network.
babilen: Can't you simple download that package, rename and sent me back?
illeagle closed source is better?
i've had such problems with setting up my sdcard to track music and playlists that i've only copied one mp3 file and one playlist that uses that mp3 (via sync'ing) but i get the error that it doesn't understand pls files
I will better start to use my Calculator not PC. :D
arvislacis  you would have similar issues with closed source
it's your adminstrator who has set the ban on certain types of downloads , it's not  open source that's at fault here
arvislacis: "Give me a second though, I'll see what I can do."
arvislacis,^
BluesKaj: I know the problem, I just don't like that most of people make this problem so difficult.
arvislacis: You should definitely talk to computer support. It is their braindead approach ...
It is funny to see that almost nobody can't help me in situation when I know the solution. So what happens to that users who don't know nothing?
im on my phone.. so cant really send files ;)
arvislacis: http://wikisend.com/download/209772/foo.deb
It is better to write five books about solution not to try to help. Well, THANKS ALL.
hmm. never heard of wikisend
babilen: Thanks a lot. :) I will now be silent.
arvislacis  you're seeing it wrong, that's why you're upset
hola perros
I did a clean install of 12.10 yesterday.  Ktorrent no longer puts its' icon in the top bar.  Is there any way to restore it?
i have problem, when i attempt to start my computer it say grub rescue>
what can i do
arvislacis: Imho. Why string "t r a c " is bloked? This is a new banned and criminal word or sth? There is any reason?
seachdamh: Don't know the real reason but that is the fact.
i have problem, when i attempt to start my computer it say grub rescue> what can i do???
Ok, thanks all, Problem solved.
i have problem, when i attempt to start my computer it say grub rescue>
arvislacis  for future reference, how did you do it?
I am thinking about it - if there any other way how to get Ubuntu packages without using package names or something like that?
MonkeyDust: What do you mean?
rasha666: Did it work ok up till you did something?
arvislacis:  there was some torrent-apt tool i recall
I did a clean install of 12.10 yesterday.  Ktorrent no longer puts its' icon in the top bar.  Is there any way to restore it?
arvislacis: in future, you can use tor to baypass content-filtering in your network, but tor is slow.
Ok
@philinux yes i accidentally formatted one partition
Thanks all again. ;)
but than i reinstalled it
rasha666:  what partiion was it/z
test
Stinn:  2+=?
ext4///dev/sda2
rasha666:  so that was your / or /boot/ or /home?
so, uh, now I can't get any nvidia drivers to work
I did a clean install of 12.10 yesterday.  Ktorrent no longer puts its' icon in the top bar.  Is there any way to restore it?  I've tried the configure menu and it doesn't work.
@dr_willis that was /
Basil1x:  for kubuntu there is the #kubuntu channel also
rasha666 : did you install grub?
this is Under Unity, dr_willis.
rasha666:  so you totally erased / and had to reinstall? or did you restore it from backups?
i did
hi all
yes
Basil1x:  you may need to whitelist the  program to get it to appear in sys systray
Anyone here has GPU's?
OK... how do I do that?
Anyone here has ATI GPU's?
@dr_willis yes i installed it
Basil1x:  saw it mentioned at webupd8 or omgubuntu, its some command ive never needed.
Want to make some free cash from your GPU's?
i've this error http://paste.ubuntu.com/1355894/
any idea?
MrOxy:  why do i feel this is leading to somthing offtipic....
dr_willis: Yes this is a little bit Off-Topic
sowe:  its a good idea to at least give a small summary of the problem here
MrOxy  type /join #ubuntu-offtopic
Most of the people are here
not many people are in the Off_Topic Section
sowe: install the missing plug-ins .. what were you trying to run that have you that error message ?
rasha666: I think you need to reinstall grub
dr_willis and Kart i'm so sorry of course i'll try to see the video in WMV format. i'm installed Medibuntu and nothing
sowe:  wmv could be of any codec. vlc may give info about what codec its using.
MrOxy: you can always have a chat here #ubuntuforums
sowe:  if the wmv is drm protected then linux wont be able to play it
MrOxy: it's not a support forum though
Anyone know of a PPA that provide gnutls >= 3.1.4?
rasha666: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair
i want to tell something to gamers
If there are any Gamers here Please PM me
MrOxy: Please do not do that here.
sowe:  ive also seen some wmvs with  well.. lets say questionable codecs that require you to install specific things in windows..
MrOxy: this is support chanel do you havve any question
sowe: but the error says missing plug0ins .. i am wondering if you have the ubuntu-restricted-extras installed?
MrOxy: check PM
dr_willis and Kart,  http://askubuntu.com/questions/189811/required-plugin-could-not-be-found I have followed this manual.
MrOxy: there is #ubuntu-gaming
philinux: Only five people in that Channel
MrOxy: whoa teeming with peeps then lol
dr_willis: apparently the fixes online only work in versions prior to 12.04.
sowe: were you able to all 6 steps with no errors ?
Kart : yes
and the Extras restringidos de Ubuntu pakage it's installed
Is anyone familiar with UFW? I get a strange error which I cannot understand. UFW blocks port 53/udp even though I allowed it :-/ Therfore ssh connecting takes forever!
is noveau the default nvidia driver on ubuntu 12.10?
kdub: should be.
kdub: Only using nvidia gpus.
sowe:  i would install vlc, run vlc from a terminal, try to play the video then look for errors in the terminal. and check the file info in the vlc menus...
to see what codec its using
sowe: have you followed these steps as well : http://onlinemeeting.lefora.com/2009/12/08/g2m3-codec-download/#post0
tux9th: have you allowed it in both directions?
Default: deny (incoming), allow (outgoing)
53/udp                     ALLOW IN    Anywhere (v6)
I assume outgoing is allowed
I added outgoing port 53/udp too didn't hlp
so, why would anyone disable adding shortcuts/applets on the top panel?
you can install applets that to to the top panel.
'indicator-applets'  askubuntu.com has a huge list of them
tux9th: I'd check the out too, covers the bases
well I don't think the out is the problem
why is ssh using port 53? ive missed somthingZ? or is my ssh skills lacking?
dr_willis: wat?
ssh using port 53? :P
ssh using port 22
was mentioned that he neeeded to open port 53 for ssh..
dns uses port 22
*53
not clear why he needd that
I opened port 53
ssh is doing a reverse dns perhaps?
but it doesn't open
yeah ssh does a rdns request
but I can't get port 53 to open for some reason, I see in the log that request to port 53 are blocked
yet I do not know why
as I activated it
hmm.. i never opened port 53 on my router and i can ssh in quickly
nothing at all
sowe: did you try the one i mentioned in my earlier link ?
Kart : yes

andrea_: you don't want to just kill processes just cpu, they might be important...
gergteg: use irssi
s/just/using/
zykotick9: i just need to monitor one process and kill it if exceedes a threshold
zykotick9: i know the name of the process, so it should be easy
12.04 - I've added the gnome PPA to my list of repos and installed the gnome shell. Yet it installs gnome fallback session and I don't have a choice (with the gnome foot) at login that gives me a gnome 3 session. I only get an ubuntu logo gnome fallback and 2 gnome logo gnome classic (v2) sessions. How do I get the option for Gnome 3 as provided by the PPA?
shinobi: gnome-shell is in teh default repos. WHy do you need a PPA?
BlueT_:
thanks, ActionParsnip
actionparsnip, i installed ubuntu restricted extras and i installed it offline, i dont know if this has anything to do with the error message am still getting
shinobi: I suggest you remove the PPA and install the one from the official repos which have been tested for your release
ActionParsnip: I've tried the standard repos and it only gives me the gnome 2 fallback session.
Am I doing something wrong? err... what am I doing wrong  <_ Action Parsnip
please am trying to play music files on my ubuntu linux and i get an error message saying python(v2.7) reqiures to install pluggins and i dont know which particular package to install
babyswizz: have you tried a different media player?
\msg
ActionParsnip what other media player can i use
anyone know of a fairly comprehensive list of unofficial software packages that really should be installed on a new ubuntu system, for various things?
babyswizz: try python-gst
babyswizz, tried VLC?
hello Ubuntu .   any one can help me with issue problem issue with update manager   and its have two  other upadtes (LP-PPA-webupd8team-java)  and    Oracle java (TM) Development kit (JDK) 7  oracle-java7-installer (size: 18 kb)
TheNumb: is python-gst a media player?
TheNumb i can't seem to find a package called python-gst on the ubuntu package site
is anyone else having problems with conky as of today ?
babyswizz: vlc for one...
babyswizz, did you install win32codecs from medibuntu.org
bazhang: not sure if it applies, but i don't think vlc uses w32codecs...
bazhang i didnt
zykotick9, he said rhythmbox initially, cannot hurt to try
babyswizz, you only mentioned mp3 for the audio, were there others
bazhang i have only tried playing mp3 and mp4 formats
babyswizz, are the files on a different partition?
bazhang: am actually using my ubuntu linux on a virtual machine
babyswizz, so what is the host, and where are the actual files
bazhang: the host is windows 7 and i dragged and drop the files on the media folder of guest machine home
what's the command to see the current installed nvidia driver version?  I know there was just a file I could cat
aperson: apt-cache policy nvidia-current
I do not have nvidia-current installed, ActionParsnip
aperson: try:  dpkg -l | grep nvidia
wait, I found it
`cat /proc/driver/nvidia/version`
thanks anyways :)
aperson: nvidia-settings tells you too :)
I didn't know if the xswat ppa updated to include the 3.10 driver yet, and I had only just restarted x
hehe
et moi aussi
hello, how can i play video from shell
inner_peace: mplayer has ascii output if you want
inner_peace: http://packages.debian.org/stable/aview maybe.. it is in the repos AFAIK
or just run:      mplayer -vo aa:driver=curses video.avi
http://oreilly.com/pub/h/4441
bazhang i have tried looking for the win32codecs but cant find it
Howdy all, I need to install an older version of the Ubuntu kernel, but I'm not sure how.  Can someone point me in the right direction?
babyswizz, thats not the issue, I suspect.  it's the file sharing method between guest and host that I would point to
smooth-texan: i would just browse and grab the .deb for it
smooth-texan, why ever would you need that
bazhang: My suspend stopped working
i would keep the current one around...
smooth-texan: depending on how old, it might be still installed, or in the repos already
smooth-texan, what version of ubuntu , and what kernel were you proposing on using
bazhang what do you suggest i do to play mp3 files
bazhang: I'm on 12.10, but I want to try a 3.2 kernel
babyswizz, correctly share the files between guest and host is the issue I suspect
Hey, my laptop  has a fresh install of ubuntu 12.10 but it is not recognizing my wireless adapter. I need help installing drivers please.
holstein: so you're saying I can browse the 12.04 repos and download/install the debs from there?
smooth-texan, thats a terrible idea
smooth-texan: i would answer bazhang ... depends on what you are looking for
ryan_, whats the chipset
ciao
it is a realtek 8101e/8102e PCI
bazhang: holstein: I already mentioned that I'm looking for a 3.2 kernel
smooth-texan: i would search for a .deb.. or something that is easy to revert from, when bad things happen..
smooth-texan, mixing packages from different versions is an especially bad idea, not to mention kernels
yup... bad things might not happen right off, but they surely will soon
bazhang, please am trying to use my usb modem with ubuntu 12.10 but i cant seem to keep the connection for 5seconds
ryan_: seems to use the r8169
smooth-texan, its completely unsupported, and plan on having backups when things go wrong
Ahh, I seem to have confused my ethernet with my wifi >_<
bazhang: I'm not removing my 3.5 kernel, so i'm not too worried about borking with 3.2
please am trying to use my usb modem with ubuntu 12.10 but i cant seem to keep the connection for 5seconds
you should take this to a channel

cherr: Are you sure the file finished downloading?
cherr: that is usually the filename that chrome uses while it is in the process of downloading the file.
babyswizz, how did you connect it
babyswizz: run:  lsusb    use the 8 character hex ID to find guides
pici: ahh, that makes sense lol
erik_d, yes, totally positive its finished
should i post the error?
sure

b0w: have you tried disabling tap-to-click
Chakravanti: ^
Chakravanti: seems to have stopped since hardy (as a package)
Chakravanti: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=543945 deleted in lucid
b0w: have you tried the boot option: i8042.nomux=1
i just used the command sudo rmmod r8169, how do i reverse that :(
i've figure out it's been removed and i'm tryign to compile it and it can't find gtk2
that killed my ethernet connection
b0w: actually, try this
ryan_: modprobe it
do we treat kubuntu issues here too
?
hi guys i want to start darkstat with service darkstat start, but no process appears. Nothing in the message log too...what could i do now?
b0w: sudo modprobe -r psmouse; sleep 2; modprobe psmouse proto=any

b0w: sorry, sudo modprobe psmouse proto=any
is it possible to install ubuntu on a hdd while it's connected to my PC, and then put it into my laptop?
cele: absolutely
Chakravanti: libgtk2.0-dev though who knows if it will still compile
thanks ikonia
on5sl: how did you install it
the laptop being a macbook...
b0w: or if that is no good: sudo modprobe -r psmouse; sleep 2; sudo modprobe psmouse proto=imps
cele: the macbook will boot different, so no
ikonia: trough apt-get
no way to setup refit or something similar from the pc ?
cele: no
cele: as long as the CPU arch of the mac can be handled by the first system to get the OS installed, yes
cele: why don't you do it from the mac
ActionParsnip: that's not true due to how the mac boots
How do i determine my Wifi adapter? i am able to see my ethernet one with sudo lshw -C network
because i reformatted the whole drive
so all is gone
cele: you can certainly get the OS on the drive at least
ikonia: you can put the OS on the drive, then deal with the boot
got the answer old-releases.ubuntu.com
and i dont have a cd-drive on the macbook
trism, i'm trying to install multisystem, i've used it since lucid without having to install gtkdialog but now their repo is broken it seems
cele: Use a USB stick
to do what
cele: can the macbook boot usb?
cele: You can install Ubuntu from a USB stick
the macbook will use EFI and expects certain things to be in place
b0w: if one works, let me know and we can make it permanent :)
heroxbd: the eol update information there can help you with the upgrade process (and includes information about old-archives.ubuntu.com)
theadmin, ye, but the macbook wont boot the usb
never got the whole "buy an overpriced mac then put ubuntu on it"
ikonia, you're right, but isnt there anyway to install refit to the hdd from ubuntu?
 does anyone know a programm that I can use with lubuntu to rotate the content of PDF files?
ActionParsnip, it's more like how to put linux onto a handmedown device
cele: no
Chakravanti: don't know what that is
Chakravanti: if refit makes a linux version... but you can try clonezilla... though you will need to boot something on the mac at some point
Chakravanti: sorry
ikonia: ok, so if i reinstall a leopard install on the drive, then plug it in the macbook, it should boot right?
cele: if refit makes a linux version... but you can try clonezilla... though you will need to boot something on the mac at some point
cele: if you install mac os and needed components to a disk and plug it in the mac, it will boot
"needed components" ?
cele: yes, the layout and components needed to boot a mac
holstein, the problem isnt getting ubuntu on the drive, it's getting the mac booting it
If there is only one partition: /  do we need to mark this partition as bootable?
cele: i just installed on a macbook... booted the CD and installed.. that was back in 10.04 though it should be the same
yeehi: grub doesn't pay attention to the bootable flag
yeehi: i belive i always do
ikonia, ok, then lets say i have leopard booting, is there ANY way to have only ubuntu on the drive AFTER installing refit from mac os?
but i dont think grub caresses
holstein, i dont have a cd-drive, thats the problem
cele: it doesn't work like that
trism, http://translate.google.com/translate?sl=fr&tl=en&js=n&prev=_t&hl=en&ie=UTF-8&layout=2&eotf=1&u=http%3A%2F%2Fliveusb.info%2Fdotclear%2F
hello, anyone that knows a driver that works with E2 Vision ?
ikonia, i need to have leopard installed to even be able to boot ?
or any mac os
I use Ubuntu 12.10
Anyone know how I can disable bluetooth module in my xubuntu installation? The bluetooth module loads and the icon appears. But my system does not have bluetooth :P
cele: you need to have a compatible mac os
streulma: the AMD GPU?
cele: you should be able to install from whatever method you were going to install leopard, though i havent used the mac in a while
ActionParsnip: Yes
thebiffman: blacklist the bluetooth module
streulma: run:  sudo lshw -C display    what chip does it say it is?
ActionParsnip: Thanks
streulma: we just need the product line
ikonia, i do, look, i have a macbook, the drive stopped working and i wanted to install ubuntu, so i plugged the hdd into my pc, and reformatted the whole drive and installed ubuntu on it
the cd-drive* stopped working
cele: it won't work
it didnt
cele: try it
thats why i am here
ActionParsnip: It's not booting anymore, it said ATI 9808
incidentally, gtkdialog compiles and works just fine
the macbook wont boot
cele: you have to use EFI
cele: could be bad hardware...
ceie: which Macbook ?
a white, model 2007 i think
streulma: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI
Hi
streulma, yes clearly, but how do i "recover" from this state?
cele: you have to make the usb stick with UnetBootin
ok
cele: the macbook wont boot ?
Running 10.04. Got a prompt from Update Manager to update my Flash and I did. Now I am stuck with a crippled Flash version. Unable to watch 720p or 1080p HD on YT and other Flash content on websites.
Any ideas what has happened?
not after i plugged back the HDD i installed ubuntu on
DrGrov: what browsers have you tested?
ikonia: any idea? Also i can see now that i haven't got any logs :s my messages log file is empty?!
does any1 know which way is up @ ubuntu? i downloaded amd64 12.10, desktop - but it's md5 says it's i386 per: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuHashes !?!?!?
guruguy: where did you get the file from?
on5sl: is it actually a service ?
ActionParsnip: I am using Chromium as my primary browser. The Flash version I have installed according to Synaptic is 11.2.202.251.x
DrGrov: try firefox to test
i followed the links on ubuntu.com's homepage
ikonia: it should be?
ActionParsnip: Ok, will do.
on5sl: are you sure ?
ikonia: when i start it manually though it works
on5sl: how are you starting it manually ?
and - BTW - i downloaded it TWICE thinking first copy was wrong!
guruguy: http://releases.ubuntu.mirrors.uk2.net/quantal/ubuntu-12.10-desktop-amd64.iso    try that
ubunto install crash. installing 12.10 through usb . help asap . logged in from mobile
darkstart -i eth1 -b 0.0.0.0 -p 6662
ActionParsnip: Same prompt on YouTube that tells I should upgrade to the latest Flash.
guruguy: go to http://releases.ubuntu.com ?
outstanding! can't tell you how hard i tried to find a link to their iso mirror!!
on5sl: that doesn't mean it's a service
on5sl: if you look at that command, that is very specific,
TYVM!
DrGrov: can you give the output of:  lsb_release -a; uname -a; dpkg -l | egrep 'flash|gnash|swf|spark'
DrGrov: use http://pastebin.ubuntu.com
* [_-S1L3NC3-_] Hell o
so now i'm putting to ubuntu iso on a usb stick with unetbootin, will that boot on the macbook?
DrGrov: or similar
ActionParsnip: Will do.
SeNo: Ubuntu, not ubunto
ikonia: yes but in the /etc/darkstat/init.cfg i can specify the startup options too
SeNo: did you MD5 test the ISO you downloaded?
cele: first you have to format the drive
on5sl: that again doesn't mean it's a service
on5sl: (I dont know if it is/isn't I've not used it before)
cele: then sudo fdisk -e /dev/rdisk1 or another drive
on5sl: is there an upstart job for it
ActionParsnip, i'm pretty sure it's a touchscreen typo
streulma, what drive are we talking about, remember i have a corrupt hdd in my unbootable macbook
ikonia: how can i find out if it has a jobstart? (sorry im' used too freebsd)
I have a miserable time typing correctly on an android and autocorrect always makes it worse
on5sl: look in the upstart jobs
ikonia: i don't know where that is...
ActionParsnip: Here it is, http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/1356138/
for setting up file servers (large amount of files), what is the preferred filesystem? ext3/ext4/zfs? basically, i want something stable, dont care about performance, i just don't want to deal with file corruption down the line
on5sl: ok, so that's what you need to resaearch
ikonia: k
.
ikonia: there is nothing by the name of darkstat in var/run
DrGrov: that is a right mess
on5sl: you're looking for upstart jobs
on5sl: not the pid file
ActionParsnip: Really? LOL. I just thought it should be fixed properly when I use official Flash updates through Update Manager. Any suggestions what to do about the mess?
on5sl: it should have dropped something into /etc/init.d/darkstat and there is also /etc/darkstat/init.cfg which may need modification.
where are alternate 12.10 torrents listed or are there none?
not listed here: http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/alternative-downloads
hello
Chakravanti: There is not alternative disk for 12.10
ikonia: it does have dropped something there :)
DrGrov: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/1356148/
DrGrov: you have THREE flash plugins installed. This causes a conflict and you get nothing
DrGrov: those commands rip out all the flash plugins, then install adobe-flashplugin which is the only one you want. Close all browsers and relaunch to load the new plugin
ActionParsnip: Ah, that explains the mess. I am usually creating havoc, this is no understatement as you clearly see
DrGrov: FYI, Lucid is EOL in April 2013, you may want to upgrade soon
I close all my browsers just now and do those one by one.
using lspci doesn't display my network controller, does this mean hardware failure?
Pici, does 12.10 offer WDE on the live install? what do i use to install on a low resource system?
ryan_: try:  sudo lshw -C network
anyone here have an X1 Carbon?
ActionParsnip: Yes, I know. I am doing my final thesis though so I am not in the right mood now to install 12.04 yet. But I will do it. Thanks for remembering me about it.
that only displays my ethernet, not wireless
there's no way my netbook will handle a live install.  I have always needed alternate images. what am I to do with 12.10 for it?
Chakravanti: I'm not sure what WDE is.  If you trying to install a customizable install, the minimal install image offers that.
DrGrov: oh for sure, if time isn't a luxury I wouldn't upgrade. EVen if my release was EOL
can anyone tell, how to configure slapd
mazhar: http://www.debuntu.org/ldap-server-and-linux-ldap-clients
ikonia: when i do ./darkstat start it does say start deamon and done. But it's not running afterwards...
That should work then thanks Pici !
on5sl: ok, so you'll need to work through the script
ikonia: pff so this package sucks
it should work by default imo
on5sl: how do you know ?
ikonia: why doesn't it start then?
on5sl: it probably does, you may have a problem with your config for example

Hello, having upgraded to 12.10 I am having problems with spell checker in browsers. Both Firefox and Chromium has no spell checker available.
Anyone can confirm it is not me but generic error?
hey, I get really low resolution on 12.10 loading screen (the maroon, or whatever this color is, I'm a man. I recognize 7 colors ;), the one with Ubuntu 12.10 and dots changing colors. It's annoying. How can I change it? Boot cd has this nice high resolution screen...
ActionParsnip: But I will get an external HDD to borrow for a while soon hopefully so I can copy over all my important documents and then install 12.04.
DrGrov: why do you not have a backup already?
ActionParsnip: I just followed your kind instructions on the reinstallation of Flash. I am now testing it on Chromium.
anyone willing to help me
ActionParsnip: Since I am a poor student, do not have enough money to buy an external HDD at the moment

DrGrov: I fixed a similar proble mby installing a package which depends on the problematic package. Boost in my case.
yes, it should be a script

ubuntu on a machine, the live cd works fine, but after installing and rebooting i see a message that unable to set mode on crtc

I have downloaded a driver for my Wireless COntroller, I know that it is located in Firefox's Downloads folder. How do I install this step-by-step?
ryan, is it a .deb file?
hhhzzzarn: yes, in ctrl-alt-f7 it just says '...failed to set mode on [CRTC:10]' whenever i try to do something but i can log in via text mode in any other screen like ctrl-alt-f1
i have tried to sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg and nothing happens but it does send a '...failed to set mode on [crtc:10]' error to the f7 screen
ses1984, what version of ubuntu is the problem occuring on? 12.10?
it is a .zip
12.04 and 12.10 both. live cds work, reboot fails to get the gui going
ryan_, it's most likely in ~/Downloads , are you sure you need this driver and not a kernel source driver (alreadyin ubuntu ,but not activated)  for your wifi ?
i'm using a geforce 6150 integrated graphics which apparently is troublesome to a lot of people but none of the fixes i've tried have helped, like reconfigure xserver xorg or use nomodeset in /etc/default/grub
ses1984, I was thinking of this other problem/bug where: only in ubunutu 12.10 the live cd nor the installed version of 12.10 would boot with gui. This is a problem with the graphics driver and 12.10.
when i lspci, my wireless controller does not display although everything else does along with the ethernet controller.
ses1984, that other problem was with intel gma.
I am not sure if I already have the proper driver installed and just turned off or something

it is pci

maybe it doesn't like that resolution or something like that?
ryan_: sometime, your wireless is off by hardware switch (hold down the wireless switch on your laptop and try internet again. Also right-click on network icon and make sure "enable networking" and "enable wireless" is on.

Doh, connection dropped. Not sure if anyone answered me re the GSM modem sending SMSs ?
thank you :)
narcos: I don't even see your question in my scrollback
jrib: Hm, maybe my connection timed out before you saw it, lemme repaste
 
Hi all. I'm trying to get my Huawei GSM USB modem to send SMSs from Ubuntu. I've used usb_modeswitch to get it out of mass storage and into modem mode, and I have a /dev/ttyUSB[0-3]
I'm now trying sms_client - but I get timeout errors
I suspect when it tries to communicate with the modem
Err - not sure if you got those 3 lines before FloodBot1 intervened
narcos: yes, but next time just use a '.' instead of the enter key
narcos: We did. Don't Huawei modems come with their own driver software? iirc they have Linux support, although all connections have to be done through an ugly Java interface :/
theadmin: Er, I'm not sure at all
jrib: OK, sorry
hi! This is going to sound really silly, but I think I need help filing a bug report on Launchpad.
you could always try talking directly to the gsm modem via minicom with at commands and see what happens
narcos: When I inserted my Huawei modem first, it was detected as /dev/sr1 (cd-rom device). I mounted that and installed the driver off there
narcos, theadmin - I think theadmin is right re Huawei stuff
need advanced testdisk user
ArcticLight: Normally you just do "ubuntu-bug packagename" from a commandline
 Edit, Software Sources error
theadmin, Stuz719: OK - mine was noted as a mass storage device - I'll dig around in there and see if there are some drivers. What exactly would I be looking for? .ko files?
ArcticLight: you can also visit #ubuntu-bugs where they are basically dedicated to helping you file bugs
theadmin: yes, I've got a .crash file, and I'm using ubuntu-bug, but when I press S to send the report, ubuntu-bug exits and I don't get the crash report page in my web browser...
narcos: Ah no, if I recall right there was a "Linux" directory with an "install.sh" inside or somesuch
jrib: Thanks, I'll check there.
ArcticLight: Eh. Sounds like you don't have a default browser set, or it's set to a non-existing file
ArcticLight: What desktop are you on?
theadmin: Great, thanks!
just done a g--gle for "huawei linux modem driver", try that. may come as a deb or rpm or sh script
why do you censor "google"...
* narcos goes  hunting
for the lulz. maybe I should have said Bing ha ha#
narcos: You *may* need to copy all the files in "Linux" to a local directory due to the fact that the filesystem on the modem is read-only
I don't remember if I needed that
theadmin: I'm on ubuntu 12.10 (64 bit) on a laptop. Until just recently, ubuntu-bug worked correctly and would open reports in Chrome, which I have installed.
When I pull from a source server to my local server using  --perms and sudo it does not retain ther source permissions. Am I doing something wrong?

acidrain you mean OCR stuff?

Hello.
how to run edit-software source ? please
moonvoniron: gksudo software-properties-gtk
acidrain: tricky depends on font etc. try gimagereader as theadmin says... I think acrobat used to include OCR functionality...
thank you :)
but so long since i used it i can't remember
moonvoniron: Or just "sudo vim /etc/apt/sources.list"
Stuz719: You're thinking of ABBYY Finereader
Stuz719: Adobe never had any OCR...
theadmin: you sure? convinced that acrobat had it... so long since i used it tho i cud be wrong
Stuz719: Oh Acrobat Reader, I'm not using that since version... 5? came out... Switched to Okular/Evince
theadmin: nah, full acrobat. had some nice features but ultimately even the security features (sigs etc.) cud be bypassed by using other s/ware
chrome or ubuntu os?
it tells me "erreur logiciel"

yes logical !
Stuz719: That's not an error... (True != True) == False
sad... just read "rastamouse is now known as nothingspecial". What would Wensley Dale say?

T|ASK, bumblebee is supported up to 12.04..did you know this?
I doubt it
bumblebee.org
InTheZone: Is your Windows system 64-bit?
no 32 bit
inthezone sounds like you're lacking vid drivers. had the same myself and had to step from 10.10 thru 11.04 to 11.10. Not fun
InTheZone: Apparently WUBI doesn't work with 32-bit anymore for some insane reason and they never even warned anyone :/
can someone help me?
InTheZone: I have the same thing and dunno if I can help. I suggest doing a proper install
spajderix: how did you umount?
problems: velocity of ubuntu in the virtual machine and ocr no function
moonvoniron: anything?
blackness: I can't imagine, because it's just switching graphic drivers on demand. I suppose, they just didn't update the info?!
I heard you can do something in the GRUB, like writing some code and stuff.
linux  that may virtualbox related, not ubuntu related
linux: what spec if machine you're running ubuntu in a VM?
Stuz719: Well I just shut down my laptop and unplugged the hdd
I'm still having trouble filing this bug and #ubuntu-bugs is silent. Any ideas?
blackness: also, the other system is a normal PC (no bumblebee) but standard NVidia running with same issues
did you umount first?
spajderix: i guess it's USB?
Does anyone know of a decent printer/scanner (preferably network based) printer that'll work in Ubuntu 12.04?  My searches result in minimal success.
spajderix: can you see the drive when you plug it in?
strategoc: home use- try Epson 435SX
strategos: sorry Epson 435SX
Stuz719: I'll look at that.  Thanks.
Stuz719: Positive, it asks for pasword and shows me a message that there's no available key for a given one
need to look into one of those myself...
Strategos: may identify as a 430SX
Stuz719: I also tried to open it up from terminal with cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/sdc1 encr, but same effect
spajderix: try umounting it and then remounting
Is this ok? http://paste.ubuntu.com/1356382/
spajderix: no available key sounds... bad
Looks like my system is running the INtel graphics chip... but why do I have these performance issues?
Stuz719: I've unplugged it and plugged it back if that's what you mean, I could try to reboot if it's going to help
spajderix: reboots often work miracles :-) but be careful of trying hotplugging it. I know USB is supposed to be resilient but.....
T|ASK  try removing old kernels and sudo apt-get autoremove obsolote packages
T|ASK  try removing old kernels and sudo apt-get autoremove to delete obsolote packages*
Stuz719: ok, I'll try the reboot and get right back here
hope it works out for spajderix
MonkeyDust: ok
Hellow hellow, anyone know how to unlock an external hard drive with pass (hdparm). Problem is, it doesnt recognize USER. I try --user-master marcus, and it says "User=master", I try --user-marcus and it says "User=user", its ridiculus..
Still having trouble with ubuntu-bug, and #ubuntu-bugs isn't helping (it's silent)
T|ASK  is internet slow, or the whole pc?
need advanced help: http://askubuntu.com/questions/216825/recovering-deleted-ext4-ubuntu-partitions-using-testdisk-none-partition-media-t
Hellow hellow, anyone know how to unlock an external hard drive with pass (hdparm). Problem is, it doesnt recognize USER. I try --user-master marcus, and it says "User=master", I try --user-marcus and it says "User=user", its ridiculus..
MonkeyDust: I just can say that focusing a window takes up to 2 seconds ... internet is ok
plz? or i might install windows.. then its byee ubuntu :{
MonkeyDust: and the longer the system is up the slower it gets
MonkeyDust: but 2 seconds is after runnnign the system for a whole day eg
yello: that's a bit extreme - have you tried parted magic or similar?
it has an "Unlock.exe" that doesnt work with wine, i googled only way is hdparm..
im not sure gparted or anything will solve :[
how can I pass images continuously to ffmpeg and have it stream as webm?
any clue?
its a western digital drive...
yello: hmmm... sounds a tricky one.
yello: why would gparted or parted magic not work? they include hdparm
hhhzzzarn: Why did you select the option for a non partitioned disk?
yello: according to wikipedia anyway
spajdxerix: any joy?
ok, so how do i do? + is it dangerous?
spajderix: any joy?
Stuz719: not a bit :/
:\
now that sucks big times
yello: need a live CD/USB of relevant distro. And yes, playing with HDDs is always dangerous. Read the instructions. Read them again. And then read them again. back everything up. Check your backup works. Do it again. And then execute the command.
Jordan_u because I just tried and I saw my parititons listed in quick search
kk, but i rather download virtualbox tomorrow, and run password unlock on windows
just wanted an iso b4 i sleep, but nvm:D bye, and thanks;]]
spajderix: Grrr. Frustrating. I'm afraid I'm at the limits of my knowledge here... sorry :-(
spajderix: other than trying a live distro to try and access and back up the files elsewhere
hhhzzzarn: How much do you care about getting the data back and how much do you care about having a working system?
Stuz719: no problem, thanks for your time man, kudos, I'm almost sure that the important data sits some other place one of my machines
hello, apparently the ubuntu community just jumps right on the logon channel? well hello everyone.
Stuz719: Yeah I tried another machine just a second ago with some older ubu/kernel with the same effect so no update did it
spajderix: YVW - hope it was of help. And at the risk of stating the obvious, here's a salutory lesson in data management. Back everything up. Test your backup. Then do it again. And then encrpyt!
Afraid I've got to go all. Thanks for having me along. See you all again soon.
I'm having an issue with Hydra/xHydra and the lack of ssh2 anyone care to take a crack at helping me figure it out?
\quit
hhhzzzarn: My guess is that what is happening is that you have a configuration which can't currently be represented with an msdos partition table (needs more than 4 primary partitions or a second extended partition, neither of which is possible), and that is why testdisk isn't showing the lost partitions when using the "Intel" option (which is a terrible name for the option, IMHO).
hey guys i got ubuntu 12.10 installed, and I installed xubuntu-desktop, lubuntu-desktop, fine(i just want to try out the different DEs), but when I installed kubuntu-desktop apt-get gets to Updating Initramfs and just hangs there and does nothing
anyone?
Jordan_U: ok. I don't care about the data on those because I could recover the data alone, I wanted to recover the partition so I don't have to install my programs again, do everything again.
i finally closed the terminal, changed initramfs.conf to not update and ran sudo dpkg --configure -a, but is there something seriously wrong? i've reinstalled and tried it again and its the samething, it hangs on updating initramfs
or is this a question for #kubuntu?
if i was buying a graphics card for a htpc, running ubuntu - AMD / ATI?
which is prefereable / better supported
Uponatree: Those are the English equivalents.
Err, sorry - misread.  Disregard.
binary_glitch  technically, your question is for this channel, but a distro like backtrack is specialized in network intrusion - guess you better ask there, but mind: it is not supported here
hhhzzzarn: Well, I can't help you there then. If you want the data, you can probably choose to have testdisk treat the disk as GPT, but that will break Windows (irreparably) and Ubuntu (temporarily).
Strategos: but why does the Debian version work fine? do I have to change some language settings?
uponatree: newer/less tested version i'd guess.  search/file a bug.
Has anyone had any successing using pbuilder and getting past a "failed to connect to MYSQL: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock'" error during a build for a package?  The package's tests attempt a connection.
zykotick9: thanks, I'll have a look over there
successing... not a word.  cripes.
Jordan_U, I will just go ahead and reinstall the ubuntu, thank you anyways
blackbox... and nobody's on our official channel plus we're on an italian server... I'm american, I don't speak italian, I don't even speak english, I speak american, and 5 other languages.... but no It.
Uponatree: I presume you would need to change them.  But I misread your question initially; I didn't see that you had typed "o, u, a instead" for whatever reason.
hhhzzzarn: You're welcome.
Uponatree: As for myself, I'm still tinkering with trying to figure out how to actually make umlauts and accent marks. :)
anyone else interested in my question?
binary_glitch  as soon as someone else has an answer, they will most probably help you - repeat your question every 15 minutes or so
Hi
Heya hiya.
Strategos: I had a look at the LANG var it states "C.UTF-8" on the Ubuntu system and "de_DE.UTF-8" on the Debian system. Then I changed the LANG var but the iconv output didn't change
binary_glitch: what problem are you having specifically?
okay... yeah this whole one channel on the server... everyone talks about everything is strange to me... oober busy to get herd...lol
I'm having an issue with Hydra/xHydra and the lack of ssh2 anyone care to take a crack at helping me figure it out?
what issue
specifically
I would like to know where to save yelp help pages so that they show up in Yelp under: Go -> All Documents
Hydra doesnt take ssh2 option, so I looked in xHydra, and it's not in the dropdown menu... wtf?
guys off topic but does anyone know a quick way to edit a price list in word to add $50 to each price automatically?
I want to know how to get it back w/o downgrading a whole release ...
so it was working in the past?
hel p plz
and you updated
and now it isn't?
on blackbox 2 yes, now on blackbox 3 no
i tried installing ubuntu from usb but when it comes to the partition choose page it crashes without any partitions appearing
SeNO_>I'v had that same isue before let me look at my install issue records and see how i fixed it... what's your basic spex/
What is the proper way to add mount options for proc in 12.10?
did you compile for source or install via some package maanger?
It comes pre installed
it's like bt, it's a pen-test'n distro'
oh
binary_glitch im totally noob
do you have it installed or are you running off a live CD?
If you have it installed, I'd make sure I had the latest version
and if the version available from the package manager isn't the latest, I'd grab the source and compile it myself. I believe the problem you are having is related to hydra not being compiled with LIBSSH support
SeNO_>okay while I try to find a record of how I solved a simular issue, why dont you tell us about your hardware specifications.
i guess rthe problem can be with my hard disks as there are two 500 hdd and 32 sd
processor intel i5 3317u
ddr3 4 gb ram
intel hd4000
I couldn't see why it wouldn't be set up with libssh support, and I do have the op for ssh, just not ssh2... but I'm dl'dng hydra now... just incase.
binary_glitch: You are still using ssh1?!
binary_glitch , sorry i didnt get anything from what u were saying
lol it is setup by default...lol but I had support for both in bb2
binary_glitch: ssh1 is... outdated, insecury, messy. Dont use it. Dont. Never. Even if the world stops turning.
oh, I'm also trying to find a solution to a password cracker for myself... lol
bekks, lol at "Even if the world stops turning."
Do you think the you could run a password cracker on a android proclaim? Theres gotta be a way to root it.
oh, SeNO_  I found my notes... do you have imos sata sdd controler on your systemboard?
ok i tried some things and now i can be more specific
when i try sudo update-initramfs -uv it hangs at Adding module /lib/modules/3.5.0-18-generic/kernel/drivers/gpu/drm/vmwgfx/vmwgfx.ko
anyidea how to fix this?
booboo64985: rooting the phone isn't just a matter of cracking the root account's (if it even exists) password
write just curious if the sbc code was there somewhere where you could run a number crunch or something.
how can i remove vmwgfx.ko from initramfs? i'm now using vmware
Can you use Linux ftp command to transfer only changed files?
Hi
BluPhenix316, is your vmware licensed?
hi there. when setting up a software raid 1, should i create two partitions with the full disk size first, or directly use /dev/sda and /dev/sdb for that raid array?
anyone know a repository with some useful third party software packages for a newly installed ubuntu system?
pradeep_: I don't have vmware installed
BluPhenix316: try removing that module from the area where update-initramfs is pulling them from
i'm running this natively
Snicers-Work2  you can with rsync -vv -- it's called 'incremental'
okAY
I am needing to push code to a windows server from linux, but I want to do it without pushing unchanged files, rsync is out.
BluPhenix316, just a honest question
heyas. In Quental, I would like dnsmasq to use the DNSs provided by the ISP as upstream servers, how can I do this?
Snicers-Work2  ok
Are working FN + F4 command in ubuntu 10.04? (switch monitor)?
What is the name of command in keyboard shortcuts?
hmm i removed it now it is hanging at adding module sis.ko
did you rebuild your kernel?
no
are you sure it is actually hanging?
and not just taking a while?
how can I let a normal user listen to port 80
well the first time, i let it sit there for a hour and it didn't get anywhere
ok something is definitely up then
well i know what causes the problem sort of
i'm using ubuntu 12.10 and it happens when i install kubuntu-desktop
http://www.linuxassist.net/forums/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=23
hi,
i've reinstalled ubuntu 12.10 and it happens again if i install kubuntu-desktop
guess i'm not suppose to mix them eh?
BluPhenix316, using kubuntu 12.04
so use to gnome
HELP, FN + F4 question!
Hi, you can get Ubuntu necklaces and earrings here for Christmas if you like.  I do not benefit from this program.  Proceeds go to putting Ubuntu computers in needy public schools:  http://blog.partimus.org/?p=414
pradeep_: well i'me experimenting with what DE I like the best
sorry what is DE
?
i've gotten kinda use to unity but i'm still a fan of xfce, but i haven't tried lxde or kde(last time i used KDE was back in the 90s)
Desktop Environment
well more specifically unity and gnome-shell are shells for the GNOME DE
FN + F4 command in ubuntu 10.04?
BluPhenix316, we use LXDE and Unity in public schools we support with Ubuntu computers (We = Partimus.org)
Name in keyboard shortcuts...
sorry got dc
BluPhenix316: are you specifying the correct kernel version when doing update-initramfs?
but this initramfs problem is bugging me, usually I can narrow it down to either figure out exactly where the problem is but i'm stumped
chaingun: i'm just doing a sudo update-initramfs -uv
i have dropped ubuntu for linux mint
using linux mint mate
chaingun: i did a sudo update-initramfs -uvk 3.5.0-18 and it finished but there was some errors
FATAL: Could not load /lib/modules/3.5.0-18/modules.dep: No such file or directory
i think that is because i changed MODULES=most to MODULES=dep in initramfs.conf
nope changed it and same error
Is there anyone here in the SF Bay Area who would like to meet IRL to discuss what Partimus.org is doing with Ubuntu in public schools?
WWW.JIZZDAY.COM
WWW.JIZZDAY.COM
chaingun: i figured out how to fix the problem, just don't install kubuntu-desktop on top of ubuntu hehe
cje2: that issue woul suit better in #ubuntu-offtopic . or the locochannel from SF
Hi guys. I can't get compiz fusion get to run
BluPhenix316: I don't like that answer lol. There is no reason why it shouldn't work
What's a good platform for VOIP communication via android / PC / IOS
Veryhappy: which desktop are you running and why would you start compiz fusion=
?
chaingun: well other than that problem everything works fine
pradeep_  Desktop Environment
k1l, thanks for the tip. I put it here because all we use in the public schools we support is Ubuntu.  It is quite exciting, so I thought that ppl here might be stoked to learn that Ubuntu is making it into public schools
ah i think i might also know what the problem is
MonkeyDust, i got that
all the kernel modules that are causing this problem i installed from x-edgers
k1l, Where is the local Ubuntu channel, do you happen to know?
K1l I use kde and I thought that I'd have to use compiz fusion to get advanced effects like water and fire effects and the popular cube
Veryhappy: no, kde got own stuff for that
(as far as i know, im not using kde myselv)
kde has it's own compositing manager
unity, gnome-shell and I think xfce and lxde use GNOME as the backend so you can use compiz with them, but KDE is a completely different enviornment
K1l oh, ok how do I get that? I have the proprietary driver for my graphics already installed. What to do now?
Is Tango available for ubuntu
Hello all... I am having trouble with Xubuntu, ssh-agent, ssh-add and pkcs11 library. That is after running 12.10. Was OK in 12.04 :(
 i tried installing ubuntu from usb but when it comes to the partition choose page it crashes without any partitions appearing, help plz
SeNo_: tried installing from a live-cd?
hmm this is annoying, you can use a metapackage like kubuntu-desktop to install everything but it you remove kubuntu-desktop it just removes the metapackage not the packages that it installed
BluPhenix316: Doesn't autoremove remove the left-overs?
jcuber what is live cd ?
Lachezar: nope
BluPhenix316: Then I suppose you could dig the /var/log/apt/history to take the package names.
Lachezar: aye, I was just think if you can install it one way you could remove it the same way to save myself some time
Is Ubuntu closing down if you don't get donations?
SeNo_: You can burn the ubuntu disk image (.ISO) file on a DVD, then works the same as a Live-USB
hello! how to know a size of application (MS Office 2010 that installing under wine)?
gaussblurinc_: You want to know the size before or after installing?
gaussblurinc_: use the disk analisys tool after installing?
jCuber: both, if this is possible
gaussblurinc_: Check the ~/.wine
Lachezar: i want to know a size of application before installation
gaussblurinc_: You should find the info from the developer's website
I dont see any popup-menu on my ubuntu 12.04 Classic Ubuntu Desktop
Everytime I click any type of menu it just dont show it. Right click, appplication menu etc. Just any type of menu
jCuber: developers of MSOffice or wine'developers?
gaussblurinc_: *shrug* Under Windows/Wine: tough luck.
ok i'm at wits end - TRYING to install 12.10 / 4 hdd / raid 10;  that failed miserably; i've rm'd sda from the raid and 0-superblock, trying to install on it; but partman continues to hang @50%. I've chk'd log, seen LOTS of hits about bugs, and NO solutions....
i would be happy to deal with this manually - have already partitioned sda, and mkfs; but installer complains disk not part'd yet
gaussblurinc_: You can find out how much space it wasted by checking the size of the .wine directory before and after the installation, but other than that it's a guess-work.
gaussblurinc_, doesn't the office installer tell you how much space it's going to need when you're selecting what to install (in custom install)?
gaussblurinc_: Under whoever made Office 2010 (Microsoft). Their website shows you need a minimum of 3GB
gaussblurinc_: Be sure to check out the open-source alternative, OpenOffice
Q: When not using the terminal but the graphic interface, how can I have admin permissions sudo ? I want to move a folder to /opt/ thanks!
jCuber: yeah, my neighbour said me about it now, i will install it
shwaiil: open the file manager with sudo
shwaiil, use "gksudo nautilus"
jCuber: _axel_ thanks a lot!
shwaiil: No problem.
Installing programs in /opt/ is that ok ? I feel like I'm always forgetting where to find them installing it here
I'm trying to access folder shared from Ubuntu with W7. I've managed to make it visible for windows, but whatever I do with samba users it says I have no permission. It never asks for password, or anything. Any ideas how to fix it?
shwaiil: Aren't the executables in /usr/bin/ ?
jCuber: I've installed "Blender" under /opt/ just moved the folder and then I then think I did a simlink there in /usr/bin/
then had to create a file to place a shortcut in the left sidebar in this new ubuntu
so complicated :P
mike_papa, is ubuntu on a vm or a separate computer?
jCuber:  I just wonder if I did the right think
heres a weird thing, ubuntu 12.10. random my sound will fade from LSpeaker, to Rspeaker, then equal out. any ideas?
alof: seperate.
s/random/randomly
alof: Ubuntu asks me for password when I try to access it, and... none of paswords I've entered works... strange.
 shwaiil Uhh I don't really pay attention to such things myself :D I just take the easiest way to make it work
shwaiil, why not installing blender from sofware center?
 is there any way to get 'inertia scrolling' (like we have for touchpads) on a mouse wheel?
jCuber:  yeah I used to do the same thing, but got this new computer with SSD and just wanted to make thinks correctly, so I could have readonly stuff in the right place
guruguy: did someone help you out, or are you still waiting?
_axel_: oh yeah because the latest version wasn't available there :X
still waiting
shwaiil, that's the right place for external software if you want to follow standards (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filesystem_Hierarchy_Standard)
_axel_:  it's behind some versions :P
alow: is there any way to get rid of authorization at all? I don't need it.
ceran: thanks! Isn't there a fast or easy way to put shortcuts in the sidebar ?
don't understand why I had to create a file to create a shortcut..why not just drag and drop, strange
guruguy: when you did it manually, what partition type did you use?
mike_papa, samba uses specific user groups and user names to access/share files. i'm shooting in the dark here but guessing that your windows username doesn't have sufficient permissions w/i samba to access the files
shwaiil, sorry, can't comment, I usually run commands by bringing up the Run dialog and typing the command name; my default desktop is basically empty
ceran: ok tks
am using gpt part table, with normal linux part's using ext2 and ext3
sorry - how do you reply?
mike_papa, have you read this: http://milindpadalkar.wordpress.com/2011/05/08/sharing-folders-using-samba/
Q: Anyone know how to easily place Shortcuts into the left sidebar ? Without having to create the "file" to show stuff there (can't remember the name)
Thanks!
alof: no... I haven't read this one. thanks. I'll try it.
the parition table is fine to use as gpt, but the parition TYPE must be set to Linux RAID
what paritioner are you using?
urlwolf: I think if somebody made that kind of software, you'd have a lot if delay because the software would need to smoothen the hardware's input. Logitech used to make mouses which had hardware-based kinetic scrolling
sorry - i did have part type as raid - when i tried raid 10 install - such a fail.... so i dropped sda from raid and reset part's to nbormal linux
guruguy: You might want to try the Ubuntu Forums if you can't get an answer here
i'm using parted - only thing the install provides me that understands gpt - hate it
guruguy: Do you have the individual drives partitioned?
i do have ind. drive partitioned - sda is now a "stand alone" drive; sd[b-d] are still in raid 10
Does anyone know of a Ubuntu list for the SF Bay Area?
ok, and how can I delete user that is not logged in, and userdel says he is?
:)
Oops, what I meant was does anyone know of an IRC channel for Ubuntu for the San Francisco Bay Area?
guruguy: Your last comment seems contradictory. If you have the individual drives partitioned, then it should be "sda1" and "sdb1" which are RAID members, not "sda" and "sdb" (it may sound like an esoteric distinction, but it's important).
TAB! TYVM!! :)
cje2: Isn't the global one enough? If we have less than 2k users here, I don't think we need channels for individual cities :D
guruguy: To put it another way, are your RAID members whole drives or partitions?
I'm trying to install a .run file and whenever I try to enter chmod +x file.run
ok - the raid install failed in more ways than i want to try explain :-)   so i've removed sda from raid - re-partitioned w/ 0x83 part's; and attempting standalone install on only sda
It tells me it cannot access, no such file or directory exists
sd[b-d] remain in raid 10 array
alusion: You're making a typo (probably you're in the wrong dir)
blsecres: found the solution. after the last server reinstall there was no german locale, so the iconv transliterate could only use the english locale which leads to a instead of ae
I am in the right directory I am sure  >_< deadmund
OH
I see now.
my intent is to install on only sda as a "normal" install; and then i will <u> manually </u> move entire installation to raid, and re-add sda afterward
I didn't finish typing it
guruguy: You aren't answering my question.
I had an older version and I forgot to enter the last of the version # haha
hello. I have a question that is completely not relevant to linux/ubuntu. can I ask?
sorry - to complete that thouigyht - raid members are partitions
Guest13329: not in here
where can I?
Guest13329: What's the question about?
it's a bit complicated
so i have multiple md's (md[1-6] )
long story short I need to download a file
but the site will only let users of a russian ISP download
jCuber: you mean that scrollwheel without stops?
I need someone with said isp to download the file for me
heh
ops, sorry, I type too fast
and sda matches that exact layout - sda[1-6]
Guest13329: maybe ask in #ubuntu-offtopic
thank you
Guest13329: Proxy?
there's an autohotkey script (windows) that implements this.
it requires a specific ISP, do proxies cover that?
hey all
Anyone familiar with teamspeak here?
urlwolf: What type of script?
i know teamspeak
just measure the number of 'clicks' per second, if faster, then increase the nb of lines scrolled
anyone know a good cli utility for browsing an xml document?
urlwolf: Tried searching online for "linux equivelant to (script or program herr)"?
graft: links or lynx?
graft: perhaps it might also w3m do the job
help with bluetooth adapter not present
ubuntu 12.10
jCuber: it was in an obscure post on a forum
no name
quantal, bluetooth adapter not present... help pls
see you guys
alusion: yes familiar with TS, what you need?
jCuber, ubottu  thanks let me check it out... it was there but it broke at some point I guess
Hi I was updating from Ubuntu 10.04 to 12 and my update got interrupted. Ubuntu will now not boot up. I inserted the Live CD and booted, what I'm using now. Can I repair my partion this way?
graft: just browsing, try lynx
I don't know how to start it
theslow2, ubuntu 12.04, I just installed it
Hi all, I am having some upgrading issues (from 12.04 to 12.10). Is this a good place to ask?
I am unable to do release upgrade from 12.04 to 12.10 (even after ticking the "For any new version" option in the synaptic package manager). When I run do-release-upgrade, it says "No new release found". Any suggestions?
I've tried sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt; sudo chroot /mnt apt-get update; apt-get upgrade with no luck
alusion: the client or server, and how did you install TS?
theslow2, the client -- I installed it via the main linux download, TeamSpeak3-Client-Linux_amd64.run
ubottu, the page only has documentation tof 10.04 and 11.04 not 12.10
sorry mormans came to talk to me... SeNO_ did you get your issue resolved?
nyone know why moving a 10.04 install to a new computer causes virtualbox VMs (and minecraft too) to fail to start?
hi, my wireless suddenly stops working and i can only use it again after reboot. any ideas?
Daxter: how did you move it ?
benedict: what ubuntu version, what adapter, are you using linux drivers for adapter
Wanna Delete some Windows Viruses from My Data Driver Some One Can drop me a Name of AV Works in Ubuntu well
ikonia: moved physical HDD containing install and its swap partition
lelouch: your "data driver" ?
lelouch: I think the only one is clamav
theslow2, should I get version 2 or version 3?
lelouch: ClamAV
Daxter: what happens when you try to start them ?
deadmund: is the hardware the same ?
alusion: version 3
ikonia: hard drive  i mean
Daxter: is the hardware the same ?
Daxter: ubuntu 12.04, Broadcom Corporation BCM4312 - how do i find out drivers?
any ideas on why do-release-upgrade is not showing any new releases (12.04 to 12.10)?
lelouch: just boot windows and run a virus scan
ikonia: minecraft blackscreens, virtualbox vms is stuck at 0% starting
alusion: if you open a terminal/shell and navigate to the TS folder, there should be some files there ending in .sh
ikonia: Sorry?
ddash: LTS release are by default set to upgrade to LTS only. check out software sources
Daxter: different video card ?
deadmund: sorry, waasn't meant for you
well thanks all deadmund Daxter ikonia
:P
Daxter: I have set that option already in the synaptic package manager
Daxter: no they are not, LTS releases can upgrade to non-LTS releases just fine
benedict: Need help?
deadmund: yes - that's why i am here :)
ok - let me try a different approach - partman hangs at 50% - there appear to be complaints and bug reports all over the place about this. i've seen no solutions. does anyone know how to fix the hanging partman (on install) issue?
Daxter: I have set it to "For any new version"
alusion: give me 1 minute and my download will be complete. (then i'll be able to tell you exactly how to start it)
benedict: I am really good with these drivers.  PM me?
ikonia: different everything. old cpu: AMD athlon 64 new cpu: Intel core i5-750 old gfx: nvidia geforce gt240, new: geforce gtx280
Daxter: even then it is not working, any ideas? Thanks for your reply
alof: it helped. thanks. does user's group need to be in valid users for every user? user name isn't enough?
hello! im having problems with the new lens thing on ubuntu 12.10, i installed some of them but not seem to work when i type something on the unity thing
Daxter: , so that's something I'd look at resolving
whats the most used desktop ?
theslow2, thanks, I found the .sh and started it. how can I create a hardlink to the .sh to the desktop?
xangua, yeah like 3 times now
ikonia: for the lts release software sources isnt set to show upgrade to non-lts releass, at least in 10.04
via command link of course
xubuntu or what
Daxter: yes, so you can get set it to what you want
Daxter: that does'nt mean it's not designed to be upgraded to non-lts releases.
and How can i delete Ubuntu Or From my laptop i used Gparted to delete partition but got Grub rescue problem
homecable: Ubuntu I guess?
Daxter, ikonia: yes, Daxter is right, it was set to only lts releases in 12.04
xangua, installed the wikipedia lens and when i tipe something it shows nothing, just the amazon lens its working
homecable: depends what you like it is your choise  I use cinnamon
ddash: yes, and you can set it to what you want
Daxter, ikonia: for some reason for me even if I set it to non-lts versions, I cannot do a release upgrade
ddash: please pastebin the output of "lsb_release -a"
 How can i delete Ubuntu Or From my laptop i used Gparted to delete partition but got Grub rescue problem
lsb-release -a sorry
alusion: in a terminal run ln ~/Download/Teamspeak/file.sh ~/Desktop
lelouch: you need to put a new boot loader on the machine
Hello everyone, I have a fairly specific question regarding LVM2 on Ubuntu Server 12.04. I would like to send a picture of my HDD partition list, so I can set one up without erasing data. Thank you.
how do I enable bluetooth adapter in ubuntu 12.10
ikonia: http://pastebin.com/3NDwhDbG
how do I enable bluetooth adapter in ubuntu 12.1
anyways what do you mean by something to resolve? only reason why new machine is running this install is due to the old computer dying.
how do I enable bluetooth adapter in ubuntu 12.10, say not present
how do I enable bluetooth adapter in ubuntu 12.10, say not present
My system won't boot because of an "Upgrade" failure. Can anyone help? I'm booted via Live CD of 10.04. Here's some steps straight from the Ubuntu Help Guide I've taken http://pastebin.com/3dMcChd5 what are these errors?
lelouch : do you have other os on your laptop
Daxter: so your hardware has changed, there will be modules that will need to be loaded and old ones stopped, especially around the video card
zvacet: Windows
xangua, no i dont see it, should i got it? i installed the lens from terminal
ikonia: reinstall graphics drivers? its the same family of gfx cards tho
anyone?
ikonia: already used a live cd to delete partition  with gparted
lelouch: that's not what I said
FireStorms: what were you upgrading from and to, and when/where did it fail?
Daxter: also look at the virtualisation modules,
ikonia: http://pastebin.com/3NDwhDbG
ikonia: what I dont get is ive reinstalled virtualsbox a few times now
Daxter: i didn't say reinstall
i would think that would reset the modules
lelouch: can you boot in it?
xangua, yes that one
have to check that out
ddash: and what happens when you follow the upgrade process
Daxter: from 10.04 to LTS 12.??. The failure occured 2/3 through the instillation of the upgrades. Since my syetm won't boot.
FireStorms: try sudo apt-get -f install
ikonia: so explain
lelouch: you need to put a new boot loader on the master boot record as you've deleted the partition that grub needed to work
lelouch: join ##windows and ask them how to put your windows MBR back
zvacet: i reinstall ubuntu and i can boot in it now but i dont know how to delete it
xangua, well actually i swa it here http://askubuntu.com/questions/38772/what-lenses-for-unity-are-available
b0w: well then you should see an icon for wkipedia in the dash like the image shows
ikonia: when I run do-release-upgrade, it says "No new release found"
I desperately need help! I installed ubuntu, mint and a bunch of other distro's over the week. I get the same problem with ALL of them. I keep loosing internet after being on it for a while and I cant get it back. im back on ubuntu and i got it back by connecting to another local isp. I know soon i'll loose this connection. I don't want to keep hoping from one connection to another to get internet.
ikonia: Do I have to manually add the quantal repositories before doing a do-release-upgrade?
ikonia: already reinstall ubuntu but i just wanna know how to delete it Just in Case
is this a community only channel, or does ubuntu troll here?
lelouch: read http://members.iinet.net.au/~herman546/p18.html#MbrFix.exe after that you can remove ubuntu
guruguy: it's an ubuntu support channel
lelouch: no you know
"now"
ikonia: ok tx!
i don't know why i get connection for a few hours then loose internet connection
xangua, yeah, not working at all, i dont know whats going on... just installed 3 of those lens but no one works, just the preinstalled one for amazon
please help me.
chris_: What kind of network adapter do you have?
i'm not sure how to find out. im on a HP g60 notebook
b0w: no idea really, i use the same ppa but only installed the the pirate bay lens
Can I somehow install 10.04 using a newer kernel?  I need to run a cluster of 2 servers, the server product is tied to 10.04.  But 10.04 won't install on one piece of hardware (12.04 would).
chris_: you can run lspci
Hi guys, I have a virtual private server that I'm using as a web hosting, I'd like to install a mail server but don't really know which one to take or how to ;x, I'd like one that can do simple redirects like this: (if you get this@this.com send it ot that@that.com) and possibly will use some piping in the future to a php script but that's not important right now
xangua, its there any activate deactivate lens thing?
jCuber i'm not sure how to find out. I just came from windows last week.
lspci
tinkster: Which cluster software do you use?
sudo lspci
how do i run that?
zvacet: I tried sudo apt-get -f install but it did not work. This is what I got http://pastebin.com/8emJDELh
chris_: Ctrl+Alt+T
chris_: lspci | grep -Ei '(wlan|wireless|802)
b0w: no that i know
opens terminal
then paste the code others have been tellnig you to run
bekks, it's not a cluster software as such ... we use drdb for a zimbra set-up, with one being a cold standby ... however, one of the old machines is hopelessly underspeced.
xangua, any ideas?
lspci
The replacements machine is too recent to install 10.04 of CD
oh cli factiod? nic3e
b0w: contact the ppa maintainer
tinkster: drbd has nothing to do with clustering at all :)
I know

02:00.0 Network controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR9285 Wireless Network Adapter (PCI-Express) (rev 01)
did you get that?
tinkster: not going to happen
looks like atheros communications inc ar9285
yes chris_.
I own a HP G60 notebook
ikonia, bother :) ... i was afraid that was going to be the response.
xangua, do you know how to get the alt+f2 command execution function? on ubuntu 12.10 it doesnt seem to work
FireStorms: something is not right with your source list that is all I can tell sorry
chris_, what is te problem?
zvacet: thanks for your help it almost worked
anyone here knows how to get lens working on an ubuntu 12.10 64 bits pc?
b0w: it works and is insalled by default
pradeep_: chris_: his network adapter goes offline/stops working after a few hours of browsing
FireStorms : try with sudo apt-get update to be sure everything is O.K. with source list
lspci
back
chris_: this doesn't have anything to do with the OS it doesn't look like... but the adapter itself most likely. Does this hardware work on ANY operating system?
windows
pradeep_: Network controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR9285 Wireless Network Adapter (PCI-Express) (rev 01)
NEVER a problem on windows
but every distro of linux it's doing the same thing
Im using the nvidia driver, but need to specify some thing in the xorg file, but they dont appear to exist any more
so i know it's not just the specific distro
zvacet: I try but I get a lot of: "W: Failed to fetch http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/precise-updates/universe/binary-i386/Packages.gz  Something wicked happened resolving 'gb.archive.ubuntu.com:http' (-5 - No address associated with hostname)"
chris_: any power management or battery management software ?
chris_: You sure you're not just accidentally hitting the wifi switch?
chris_: on the same hardware, on the same network, it never drops... but on all linux distro's it does?
deadmund: back
I don't have a wifi switch
chris_: have you tried blackisting the linux driver and using ndiswrapper for the adapter driver?
(looking), no no buttons or anything. just the one way up on my keyboard, but that's always blue
ikonia, i got some problems getting some new lens to work, installed the wiki lens and i dont figure out how to use it, when i type somehting nothing shows
yes l3top that's right
no, Daxter i havent. how would i do that?
FireStorms: change server to main maybe that help
has the xorg.conf gone away forever?
hi. What's the best gmail notifier that has integration with unity?
zvacet: thanks again I will try now :)
perhaps it's jumping drivers for what ever reason.
gm-notify doesn't work anymore
re, on Configuration de ttf-mscorefonts-installer , the 'ok' button is locked,please help !
chris_: I find no bugs, or issues with that hw on linux. What I would do, if I were you, is create a new dmesg/syslog log and recreate the problem, then look over those logs.
bdeluca: its not needed because the automatism is doing a good job. but if you need it you can make a xorg.conf
mmm too many mentions of ndiswrapper lately
lol yeah
ikonia: do-release-upgrade -d works!!!! Mmike@xubuntu irc helped
ddash: that's bad
where is the error log file?
ddash: you should not use -d
moonvoniron: did you tried with arrow keys
it's sad makers are again with 'do not make/release drivers for linux'
ddash: 12.04 to 12.10?
ddash: that will upgrade it to the instable platform
daxter what is the command for the blacklist?
chris_: Alt+F2 then "sudo gedit" and open the file in the msg ubottu sent you
chris_ : gksudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
blacklisting your atheros driver will render all internet unusable, unless you have a replacement driver (ndiswrapper?) or un blacklist driver
chris_ :put name of module you want to lacklist at the end of file
Excelent! ok im in gedit
how do i know which one to blacklist?
chris_: witch one you are trying to blacklist?
Fellaa remember that chris_ here just installed linux for the first time some time ago
Im very very new to this :)
seems no solution to bluetooth adapter not found issue
ah chris_ there is a module that your adpater runs off of. bliacklsiting it preventsit from loading, so you can use a replacement driver.
oh i see. where do i get this replacement driver and keep it active for ever?
zvacet no,
i see this blacklisted in the gedit
# causes no end of confusion by creating unexpected network interfaces
blacklist eth1394
purging removes the left-over configuration files, right? is it possible to reset the configuration files without uninstalling the packages, after several dist-upgrades, to get a "clean" install?
im on wifi, so not sure if this effects anything
your module wont be lsited normally in there
moonvoniron: sorry no what?
for arrow keys
smj: I suppose it's possible.
smj: apt-get install --reinstall (package)?
jCuber: how about all the packages?
where would I get this wifi module and make it my default so no others will try to take over killing my internet connection?
and does that remove the configurations?
as far as replacement driver, this is where it gets tricky. its never the same for different hardware it seems. to use another dirver youll have to google or something for it. not fun. or use ndiswrapper, which piggybacks off of the windows driver for the hardware.
moonvoniron : is it just hiting enter or you have to select ok
ok sounds like ndiswrapper is easy. How do i launch this app?
it's not easy
smj: So you want a completely new install, or just certain packages?
completely new install
smj: Why not just reinstall via a Live-DVD/USB?
arrow keys doesn't works
jCuber: I don't have an USB stick or empty discs
chris@chris-HP-G60-Notebook-PC:~$ ndiswrapper
The program 'ndiswrapper' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing:
sudo apt-get install ndiswrapper-common
it's not installed.
smj: Then it's a bit hard to reinstall
duh..you have to install ndiswrapper
ndiswrapper is not installed it sais
you have to install ndiswrapper
in order to sue it
use*
ok installing it now
 i did the command sudo apt-get install ndiswrapper-common
is ubuntu 12.10 still using upstart as init process?
smj: Haa I meant usb-drive, not disc
POVaddct: yes
jrib: thanks
guys wasnt there a GUI for ndiswrapper?
there it is.
Im installing on the market "windows wireless drivers"
sorry, i mean software centre
MonkeyDust: i know upstart. just wanted to know if ubuntu is still using it or maybe switched to some other init system.
POVaddct: It is using it, and there is no effort in switching in near future.
Ok ndiswrapper is installe
how do i work this thing?
youll need the windows driver, extracted, not a .exe
deadmund: didn't work :(
its been so long since i used this....
benedict_: What exactly isn't working?
ok no problem. where does one find drivers for the hp G60 - 635DX notebook ?
hp's website?
Hi, all - I forget the package name for the most commonly used flash plugin.
chris_, did it come with windows pre-installed
yes
litropy: flashplugin-installer iirc
windows was preinsalled, but now it's gone
you can copy it from there
its a new hard drive
or rather download the network driver
sorry, the old hdd is gone, burned out
can i put in my windows 7 torrent?
i have a torrent windows 7, but with an invalid cd key. will ndiswrapper auto extract it from there?
chris_: no
chris_: no
download the driver from hp's website
ok. It's not an exe?
hi. What's the best gmail notifier that has integration with unity?
basically what is the name of your cad
it is, you will need to extract it
oh my dear god..
aethros?
ok, i'll download that .exe wifi adapter driver from hp

Hi room
Hi
My Thunderbird takes out all the menus and the Unity side bar. I reinstalled the Thunderbird-globalmenu but this didnt fix the problem
magma: when you say you updated, did you run distro upgrade command or from scratch ?!
Everything else work fine?
Kart: distro-upgrade. And also tried reinstalling that app
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/indicator-messages/+bug/1040259
heres a weird thing, ubuntu 12.10. randomly my sound will fade from LSpeaker, to Rspeaker, then equal out. any ideas?
magma: i am wondering if the distro upgrade is what messed up the associated libraries . i am one of those guys who really does not like distro upgrades via command line ..
did something stupid and messed up my mysql priviledges....is there any way to reset all the priviledge for root ? :X
blackness: bad hardware? i would test with a known good file and a live CD
ive already tested VIA LiveCD..
magma: was there any error messages when you re-installed it in 12.10 ?
and i played 3Hrs of mp3s...this didnt happen till i went 12.04->12.10
Kart: no error messages. gm-notify does not work because of the new api https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/indicator-messages/+bug/1040259
maslo: many web pages explain how to reset the MySQL admin password as 'root'.
blackness: could be that alsa version or kernel that is not supporting your hardware.. i would test with a 12.04 live CD.. and try and determine that the hardware is not bad
because I can't even use mysql from ssh it says Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO)
Kart: Do you want to port gm-notify to the new api libmessaging-menu
holstein, i came from 12.04 and its never acted like this til 12.10..my audio works fine when im in windows.
is there a newer kernel i can test? how far back can 12.10 go?
blackness: cool.. then i would upgrade all packages... and test in a 12.04 live CD.. and consider staying on 12.04
i like 12.10..but how would i downgrade?
blackness: you can test mainline.. or make your own... i would see what kernel and alsa version supports you in 12.04 and go from there
hi all! whats the differnce between /etc/localtime and /etc/timezone! thx
magma: try that. the thing is i am not on my ubuntu machine .. at least for another day or two ..
blackness: i would reinstall 12.04
magma: so you would have to test that sir
eep! ill stay with 12.10 and wait for a LTS
blackness: its likely soemthing you can sort out in 12.10... 13.04 is the next lts.. reinstall takes about 8 minutes
Fellas, about this chris_ 's case, is there a wlan blacklist somewhere?
8 minutes? using what method?
blackness: any for me. on most hardware..
holstein: 13.04 is the next LTS?
blackness: i not saying you need to downgrade.. just that its an option
ill just stay with 12.10. where would i check alsa/kernel ?
jrib: you're right.. its 14.04
blackness: 14.04.. april of 2014
i cannt wait for 13.04
blackness: i would check in the 12.04 live CD.. see what kernel and alsa version there supports you.. there are backports and other options
blackness: 13.04 won't be lts if that is what you are saying
yeah... 14.04**.. i had a typo...
hi all! whats the differnce between /etc/localtime and /etc/timezone! thx
so next LTS is 2yrs away? but the next rls is 13.04 ?
blackness: 18 months away; yes
blackness: there is a release every 6 months.. 12.10. 13.04... etc
blackness: where .04 means april and .10 means october
blackness: the lts's are usually 2 years.. and likely will always be.. 8.04, 10.04 12.04... etc
oh..got'cha
yay installing 3.6.0..hope we get better results ;P
has a .10 ever been released on the 22nd?
sure.
jCuber: I don't know, but why?
jrib: My bd's then, lol

Anyone has experience with dependency issues, where Aptitude's solution is to remove a lot of packages?
just sitting on 100% waiting for headers
svip: support for aptitude has been dropped
svip: what ubuntu version?
jrib, wow, thx for that tip.  Kinda cool.
jrib: 11.10.
ubottu: tell cje2 about yourself
so, this isn't happening to anyone else?
svip: yes, aptitude in before 12.10 has issues with multi-arch.  It should be in the release notes (and you can find a bug in launchpad)
s/in//
jrib: has 12.10 resolved this ?
jrib: I thought it had just been removed ?
bekks, thx for that link
ikonia: yes (well at least according to the changelog and the bug report)
ikonia: Aptitude hasn't come standard with Ubuntu for a long time.
g'day, i'm trying to get usb redirection in qemu-kvm workgin with 12.04, however when i add a usb redirection device to a guest and try to start it, i get "USB redirection is not supported by this version of QEMU". is there something i'm missing or does the qemu-kvm that comes with 12.04 really not support this?
jrib: aptitude is back in 12.10
svip: I know this, I've just said it's not supported
I'd like to setup a single volume group across multiple pv's.  But sdb5 is listed as swap space? & sda{1,2,3} = linux, extended, linux lvm.
How do I set aside the system files & swap space on 1 hdd. & partition everything else as a volume group?  I have a picture of 'fdisk -l' if it helps.
Does anyone here use Ubuntu on an HP laptop with "Beats Audio"?
jrib, heh, thanks again for prompting the bot.  Rather amazing, actually.  I will put that info in my list of resources.
ikonia: That's not the same.
im using chatzilla on firefox anyone know a good version for opera
svip: errrr, so ubuntu would ship unsupported software with it by default.....
ikonia: No, but just because it doesn't ship with it, doesn't make it unsupported.
jrib: Can I make it work with apt-get then?  Or something?
svip: yes, but it IS unsupported
svip: hence why it was removed
svip: make what work?
no on opera
I can't get ALSA to recognize the subwoofer of my 4.1 surround sound system (yes, 4.1, not 5.1)
jrib: The dependency issue.
svip: what dependency issue?
jrib: I'm confused, should one add :i386 to its name to install a 32bit package?
e.g. libasound2:i386
svip: I don't recall what version that was introduced.  At least in 12.04 it was that way
jrib: Yeah, I've seen that as well. :/
svip: I suppose if that functionality is available to you in 11.10, then that's how you should do it.
Any tips?
svip: (you still haven't stated your actuall issue)
jrib: My actual issue seems to be something to do with multiarchitecture.
svip: ok, but can you just tell us what your issue is?
              Depends: libjpeg-turbo8:i386 but it is not installable
svip: Do you have any problems when using apt-get rather than aptitude?
Jordan_U: Yes, the same problems.
svip: you should pastebin full input and output

svip: Please pastebin the output of "sudo apt-get -f install".
hrmm
its the 'extras' repo
it seems to be lagging or something
I just downloaded the HP60 wifi drivers. Can someone please teach me how to install them? I keep getting kicked off the internet every hour and have to connect to another wifi to get online again. I'm running out of wifi connections in my building to connect to :P
Jordan_U: That just removed the package causing trouble for now.
svip: you simply don't have the requirements for that steam package available afaict
deb http://extras.ubuntu.com/ubuntu precise main
^ thats the line that causes apt-get update to hang
can someone help me install them please?
Jordan_U: (So I am gonna do that for now, so I can upgrade.)
jrib: You mean those packages are not available for 11.10?
tinah ?
svip: well libc6 is what I checked, and yes, you don't have libc6 that satisfies that version requirement in ubuntu 11.10
Hmmm, sad.
svip: why not upgrade ubuntu?
Why stay with ubuntu 11.10
ryan_C: For now?  To avoid Unity, but then again, I am using XFCE, so I don't think it matters.
svip: right, xfce is still there :)
I upgraded to 12.10 then had to downgrade to 12.04 because i keep getting error message then my pc would freezethen i would have to restart
ryan_C: I think I am gonna stay at 12.04.
And ubuntu 12.04 works very very nice for me its fast
svip: It's explicitly stated multiple times that the Steam Beta requires Ubuntu 12.04 or newer, it was never going to work in Ubuntu 11.10.
But i need to learn some more commands for the terminal i only know sudo apt-get install wine
Jordan_U: Make sense.
I saw that on youtube when i was looking for commands lol
ryan_C: until you try to use the extras repository....it seems to be down
ryan_c check box-admin.com
While using 12.04 LTS is there any way to upgrade a package to its latest version, whichever the repository?
PedroP: apt-get install 'packagename'
digitalirony: well, but my repositories don't have the latest package
PedroP: then you can download a .deb package of the newer version and try to do it manually, or look for 3rd party repos
however if you do it manually you will see allll kinds of dependancy issues most likely
PedroP, what package ? maybe the dependencies don't match
or may not even be able to find a .deb package, and have to compile it from source
I guess the package I want is available
but not on my repositories
at least, it's here: https://launchpad.net/backupninja
PedroP: then you have to use other repositories, or download and install with dpkg -i
ahh, just add the launchpad.net repos if you want
make sure you read on what that entails though
the pros and cons of using a 3rd party repo
you could compile from source as long as no dependency issues, ./configure;make;make test;make install
digitalirony: ok, but will that have any impact on my other packages?
there is usually a reason its not included in the official repos
PedroP: yes, it can
PedroP: thats why I say you will want to read what implications it might have
digitalirony: I'm not really sure how, to be honest
LovesLinux: a better suggestion would be to use checkinstall (see "/msg ubottu checkinstall" for details)
pedrop yes it wont update your package managers db and unless you use check install probbably wont have an uninstaller
PedroP: how to do what
pedrop use it as a last resort
hey guys, i installed the steam beta and want to remove it, its not in my lubuntu software center, any idea how i can remove it? thanks
I'm kind of getting confused
I just wanted to install a single package from a different repo. "Raring", for example
marcio: apt-get remove packagename
any one have screen shots of there desktops ?
PedroP: just download the package from that website, there should be a link for a .deb file
homecable:  why does it matter?  theres web sites out with eyecandy desktop screenshits
pedrop Im old skool linux people more familiar with Ubuntu can probably give more user friendly advice
then do 'dpkg -i package.deb'
i think i might convert just want to see whats out there as to what people are using as there desktop
digitalirony: ok, that's an idea, thanks.
BUT
marcio: did you use a DEB to install?  if so, "dpkg -l | grep steam" to find the package name, then "sudo apt-get remove STEAMNAMEHERE"
you will probably end up chasing dependancies if you do that
homecable:  ubuntu uses Unity as the default. youtube has dozens of videos of it in use
digitalirony, i tried that but it didnt work
digitalirony: ah...
zyko i did, let me try that
digitalirony: i get that...
steam beta :) beyond support if you ask me
thanks
marcio: sorry, you might need to use "dpkg -l | grep -i steam"
i want something light abd useable for steam and videos mp3s firefox
PedroP: ok, np. Thats really the only simple way to do it without adding a 3rd party repo
homecable: try FVWM-crystal
homecable:  lubuntu is the lightest full featured desktop , then xubuntu, then its a tossup which is heaver. ;) kde, unity, gnome-shell..
homecable: or if you are technical, try awesome...but you prolly won't like it
but if you really WANT to go super light weight, get ratpoison o.0
but, you won't like that either
homecable:  if you got a system good enough to play most of the games on steam.. then the system should handle unity fine
be careful though
lxde isn't very fast
zyko it worked! thanks a lot man!
lxde seems fast at what it does here.. given how little it does. ;)
homecable xfce or mate are the ones you want to try if you like gnome2
dr_willis: yeah, but it's written to be small, not fast
marcio: I think FVWM-crystal will be something you would like if you try it. super fast
tty1 suits me :)
cant say ive noticed it being slow at all.
I like awesome
i really love this irc, the ubuntu community and this room, you guys are always such great help
digitalirony, what is that?
should my menus be poping up faster or somthing. ;)
dr_willis: if memory isn't an issue, it can be outperformed by "heavier" WMs
marcio: its a desktop system as you call it
replacement for gnome
digitalirony: I tried awesome but I couldn't get it to work at all
its super light, and has many features
yeah awesome is hard for most people to use
i am using lubuntu right now
digitalirony: yeah, I don't really want "hard to use"
jwm ;) + rox filer
I use arch linux + awesome on my PC
I only use ubuntu for my 'customers' here
digitalirony: I used to use arch, but it got in my way
gordonjcp: yeah use FVWM-crystal then
digitalirony: I spent more time fixing it than actually getting work done
its easy, and light weight, its reaaaly neat
digitalirony: gosh, fvwm, that's a blast from the past
mate looks good ?
awesome is great, had it running on my arch laptop
gordonjcp: I don't have that issue at all
digitalirony: no thanks, I'll stick with Unity
ewww
@digital irony, i agree with you
why waste RAM on that shit
digitalirony: because it's fast and makes my life easier
which is kind of the whole point of using computers
I think as my technical skill goes up, using that stuff gets in my way
I like to not have to move my hands
digitalirony: maybe, maybe not
digitalirony: how do you type, then?
Matter of opinion
I think the linux community at large tends to agree
hehe
in system settings>hardware>additional drivers is locked , why ?
all of the 'old skool'/programmers aren't using unity or gnome I promise
gordonjcp: I move my fingers not my hands
digitalirony: I disagree
Guys
* kickingvegas uses Unity, happy with it.
digitalirony: anyway, this is more for #ubuntu-offtopic
#offtopic or PM :))
yeah
I know
im off my rant
can someone help me ?
moonvoniron: maybe
anyone know if quakelive works in lubuntu? i downloaded a plug in thats needed but cant seem to install it
* jCuber knows you know, but someone did ask a question
how?
digitalirony: stuff like awesome where you need to edit 2000 lines of Haskell is *great* if you want to use a computer for playing with computers
digitalirony: it's less fun if you actually want to *use* the thing as a tool
marcio:  it should work in  most any desktop
gordonjcp: awesome doesn't use haskell
thats xmonad
digitalirony: whatever it is that it uses, to get it to not be tiny grey-on-grey text
I can't find a way to get the a field value having the request or the form objects, anyone?
digitalirony: ah, you're right
so stfu until you know what youa re talking about
moonvoniron, How can we help you
digitalirony: anyway, it's not fun
makes me laugh Linux has xfce gnome-shell, xfce, mate and yeah even kde m$ has explorer32.exe
gordonjcp: you dont' have to do that on awesome....
dr_willis, when i try it i get an .xpi plug in
at least not anymore than any other system
how do i install it?
digitalirony: in order to avoid incurring the wrath of the ops, we should move this discussion to #u-ot
any brasilian here?
im done
hush
moonvoniron, just go ahead and ask your question.  If someone knows the answer, they will tell you.
thanks gordonjcp im just looking for ppl to talk :)
digitalirony: anyway, there is at least one "old school" programmer using Unity
digitalirony: I used to use my own WM, but let's be honest, there are more useful things I can do with my time
I am sure there is atleast one, exceptions prove rules
stallman using unity?
lol
but REAL hackers use consoles
cje2: His "Additional Drivers" in the Hardware menu is locked
+1
and use sed/ed/awk/cat
not even vim
digitalirony: no, real hackers use the right tool for the job
gordonjcp: which isn't unity lolol
jCuber, Oh, I don't know anything about that.  sorry
digitalirony: anyone who starts all that "oh I only ever use CLI" nonsense is wasting their time and yours
anyway hush, im done, im not argueing with a wall
Real hackers use Linux if your a new Linux user think good of yourself you know more than that person next to you using windows!
LovesLinux: maybe, maybe not
digitalirony: Who are you to define "real hackers"? I use BackTrack's fancy GUI metasploit. Jesus christ everyone has their opinion, and you obviously need to go to #ubuntu-offtopic
LovesLinux: the person using Windows might know more about Windows
why not then gordonjcp?
jCuber: thats a script kiddie bro
LovesLinux: I can guarantee the person sitting next to me using Windows knows a lot more about Windows than me...
again, stop asking me stuff, I will keep answering it
this is offtopic convo,
No shit
LovesLinux: I mean, I'm a total Windows noob, I've only been using it a few months
LovesLinux: I've been using Unix in general for quite a long time, since I was at university
I wished I knew more about windows :/
I hate not knowing something
moonvoniron: which ubuntu do you use?
gordonjcp? Yeah I know Im the same but that only because we arent familiar. Not because we dont know the box. People who use Linux are more tuned with a computer. Personally I came from the hacker gen (19880)
the less I know about windows the brighter I feel.
anyone know how to get rid of gnome bottom of screen notifications?
not me
I want to know everything
server admins have to work with the win$hit
LovesLinux: stop it!
WTF, I was only answering them....theya re talking offtopic. I even just told them to stop
everyone still alive or did I come at a bad time?
does anyone know how to keep 12.04 from resizing my desktop everytime I use my kvm?  It's infuriating that 10 minutes away and it's back to 1024x720 (or whatever it defaults to) instead of 1920x1080
digitalirony: enough. You are disrupting the channel with your off topic commentary
noiro: you are looking for smth like that? http://askubuntu.com/questions/110792/gnome-3-change-system-notification-to-be-as-unity
k1l: And how do I navigate to my shell extensions again to configure them?
everytime i try to burn a data cd using brasero, after it's finished burning it tells me the cd could not be ejected that i must manually eject it... then right after it says the burn failed and no computer will read the CD
so I want to add a new source to /etc/apt/sources.list  ... from the command line ... I think I'd want to use echo and a pipe??  anyone have an example of how to do this?
any ideas?
noiro: sry, i dont use gnome-shell. just fiddlet with it for testing purposes
Can i get help please? I can not connect to my home wifi network anymore. It was working but now i cant get online. I just had to switch wifi networks to get online. I can get an IP from my home network, but cant surf
i'm new to linux by the way
20 min old to linux
chris_: you'll catch on just fine.. some brilliant minds here
i can connect to my home wifi, but cant surf the internet. I am getting a ip address though
im right now on another internet wifi network
anyone? please.
it doesn't dislock
what do you mean?
i wasn't talkin' to tou :)
oh.
chris_: go to a terminal and type ifconfig then http://pastebin.com me the output
ok
looking for someone who can dislock my hardware drivers setting please.
test..
moonvoniron: we can see you.. it works
no way to run sXe on ubuntu ?
delinquentme: why not use a text editor?
http://pastebin.com/LGsj21bx
this is the output of ifconfig
[MoOn__]: which ubuntu are you running?
is there a way to add sensors temps to the gnome-panel
Ubuntu "newest one"
im VERY new to linux
like 30 min old
chris_: what does "lsb_release -r" say
12.10
chris_: can you ping 4.2.2.2
12.04 LTS <k1l>
yes
it's able to ping
chris_: thats good, means you have internet
LOL
* bluegrass moons andy
yea NOW because i'm on my cellphone internet, not my home internet
:B
chris_: well then that doesn't help :|
no lol
chris_: check your hosts file
you need to hook to your home internet for this to work
how do i get to that
its in /etc/hosts
chris_: in that case...
[MoOn__]: isnt there a unlock button?
chris_: try... to bypass the router and hardwire your computer directly to the modem
see if you even have internet first... then hook your router back up
that will work. I tried that when trying mint and some other distro's for a few min over the weekend
it's ONLY wifi that gives me issues
Hello , sorry for the noob question i have a vps with 10.04 ( rtorrent  , rutorrent ,deluge ,apache , VNC ) installed , if i upgraded to the latest version 12.04 using the update manager , will this effect any of my installed programs and it will still works the it's now
it has something to do with my wifi i think. I never ever had wifi issues with win, so it must be a setting in linux
every distro had this prob
mint, this one and dsl as well
i prefer this one, so i want to get wifi working with this
MaGeD_: noone can guarantee that. better have a backup
Oh it works because i have a MAC and windows machine on the wifi network and they work
it's just this system. It's duel boot and my windows on this machine works
chris_, your deduction was not true
chris_: well nobody can help you unless you're connected to it
ah, rats. ok.
anything i can try while im connected to it?
k1l : Thanks , the reason i want to upgrade , is becoz the ( split into volumes ) options is not working at all , grayed out , do u have a fix for that
chris_, not all thing works on win would works on linux too
I went into network connections and tried deleting and re-entering the wifi network wep key
I get no network in ubuntu today.. it worked before i went to bed yesterday
chris_: ping 4.2.2.2, ifconfig, ping google.com, ping your router, ping other computers
ok i'll try that
thank you and sorry for the head ach. I just really am enjoying linux now and don't want to have to go back to windows for good.
i'll try the ifconfig and come back with the results
when i try to run ifup and dhclient it complains something about that it has been converted to a upstart job and i should run it some other way but not providing info on how to do so,
Me too i like ubuntu
too
frankko: could be restart networking
oh, i tried restar network... but i will try networking.
is  extras.ubuntu.com down?
frankko: look in /etc/init it will show you possible upstart jobs
somebody can help me
hi guys
I'm installing from a live USB
oh, it's working now
i have a problem http://pastebin.com/vAYrxp2t
k4m3h4t3, just ask
Ben
pepee : http://pastebin.com/vAYrxp2t this my problem
how can I mod the installer to inject my apt proxy value into /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/00proxy prior to install?
Ben
http://pastebin.com/6Guickig
i have a 127.0.0.1
k4m3h4t3, apparently, it was down for a couple minutes, but it's working now
pepee : mean , i try again?
k4m3h4t3, yes
launchpad is a liar
chris_: what?
pepee : ok. i will try
kieppie, edit that file? not sure
pepee : it's solved. thanks
pepee do u have a fix for this http://i.imgur.com/vepML.jpg
it's grayed out ,,  10.04
my "home" wifi network i'm getting a   http://pastebin.com/6Guickig  I don't get it. My home network works on all other comps. It was working on linux an hour ago. Now it just stoped working
kieppie, read the manpage: apt-get and apt.conf
getting a 127.0.0.1
i cant ping anything on my "home" router network
my security is off too
no wep
chris_: thats the local interface "lo" it is always 127.0.0.1
oh.
I turned off the wep key so it's hidden, but open
          inet addr:192.168.2.13  Bcast:192.168.2.255  Mask:255.255.255.0
thats your network
hi pepee. I have a USB installer. I have some code I want to echo some code into my apt config before the install's `apt-get update` initiates at boot. I want to modify the USB media prior to firing up the host
oh. so it IS connecting to the router then.
MaGeD_, you can do that from the command line: tar czf mariem.tar.gz /home/<your_user_here>/Desktop/mariem/
kieppie - if I know what script is called to initiate that process, I can update it accordingly
kieppie, /etc/rc.local ?
so does that mean that it's something in my router if it wont connect outside?
chris_: try pinging your router
probably 192.168.2.1
chris_, in the terminal, run 'route'
ok
pepee - on the original live USB install media, there's not the traditional POSIX file hierachy. it's boot, dist, doc, efi, install, opt, pics, pool, preseed, syslinux
kieppie, ah, I see. I'd try googling "how to customize a livecd"
cheers
kieppie, also, try asking in ##linux or #debian too
nope that did not work. since that service did not exist either
anyone tested already the new kernel?
Pepee : thanks the compress working , my problem is with ( split into volume ) it's grayed out
pepee - thanks; I will
MaGeD_, ah, sorry, no idea. I guess be that some package is missing
also my xserver shuts down when i try to log in. But it runs kdm fine.
pepee : thanks anyway :)
my xorg.log does not show any errors though
http://pastebin.com/QxyFP2DB
frankko, post ~/.xsession-errors too
aaaaw man another reboot....
frankko, and /var/log/syslog
what is the service name for networking?
"networking"
pepee: that service does not exist it claims
frankko, what do you need to do?
boot the computer.
all i can do it log into cli and i have no networking and xorg closes
but both worked yesterday
before i went to bed
frankko, are you using ubuntu or another distro?
Ben
frankko, AFAIK networking should be there. ubuntu version?
Ben here it is
http://pastebin.com/eaxZURYj
did you try pinging the router
yes
here is the responce
http://pastebin.com/eaxZURYj
i did route
http://pastebin.com/eaxZURYj
oh sorry, didnt mean to double post
yeah i saw that, you don't need to paste it 3 times
your right, sorry was a mistake
chris_33, try pinging google
or try pinging the router
i tried pinging google. it just sat there and couldn't
chris_33, 8.8.8.8
or yeah, ping the router
is "route" the same thing?
no
ping 127.0.0.1   ;)  hmm.. could that ever fail?
yes
chris_33, ping 192.168.2.1
ok i'll try that
you should come in here with another computer
pepee: it is ubuntu precise
i'll brb. i'll log onto my home network again and try pinging the router.
pepee: i think iwill do a "dpkg -i /var/cache/apt/archive/*" and see if that fixes it
it will take ages though
eww.. im not sure  a dpkg -i * in  the archive dir is a good idea...
assuming bash did let you do them all at once with such a long command line..
that is a horrible idea..
well, lets hope it goes well :P
for him
i hope he's never apt-get clean'd before :x
then he may have several versions of the same package
^
I think its safe to say.. its NOT a good idea
;)
It seems like for some weird reason it just stated working again on it's own. Any reason why it would not work for an hour then suddenly work again?
I didn't do anything
chris_33:  lunch break was over? ;P
yea i guess so.
or somthing reset/rebooted..
how do you type in red by the way?
dhcp lease reset?
* dr_willis dosent see anything in red
anyone with experience writing daemons have a suggestion for a cookbook?
chris_33, like this?
yea
like that
I have a massive problem
alof:  you mean like the 'upstart cookbook' web site that exists?
hah :P
I can't even connect to the Internet
pepee: test
chris_33, that way, yes
hmm.. lol . what's the secret?
ah. just came to me...
* dr_willis dosent tell chris_33  about the /me command
chris_33, it's just the client doing that
"The system network services are not compatible with this version"
Wtf?! I'm seriously freaking out right now
MinnesotaBro:  what ubuntu version, how are you connected to the net. and where do you see that message at.
yeah, we need some context
I'm on mobile. I see it in the network window and Ubuntu 12.10 beta
Wow i'm so confused how it just started working again. I installed linux "5 disto's" in the last few days. the internet starting working for the first hour then it stoped
to fix it i had to reinstall linux
what a head ach!!!
MinnesotaBro:  beta? 12.10 has been out now for  almost a month.
now its working "for what? an hour again"?
I know. I'm on 12.10
i WISH i knew what the problem was and how to fix it.
chris_33, I guess the problem is your router, not the clients
dr_willis, /me feels dumb
It worked yesterday
yea maybe
but who knows
Wtf happened. I don't have an install disk
well. when i do hard wire it works 100 percent
ive had routers die on me.. seems they make them cheap these days.
Just *explodes*
NEVER a problem when hard wired in
ONLY wifi
lol
no, i have like 3 computers on my wifi all the time
MinnesotaBro:  on mobile meaning what exactly?  a 3g USB dongle?
No. I'm typing this on my iPhone
I can't get my computer to connect to the Internet at all
why multi-monitor on ubuntu doesnt run like windows multi-monitor? so frustrating when you change the desktop and the movie on the other screen just disappear
so... how is the PC connected to the internet.....
It isn't
My phone is. My computer isn't
AndyBotwin:  you can pin the player to the desktop and it will stay 'sticky'
lol
AndyBotwin:  and be shown on every desktop
how? im such a 00b
how do i release and renew my ip?
right click on the title bar i belive. on all desktops, or somthing like that
old term for it was 'sticky'
thanks dr_willis
really thanks.
MinnesotaBro:  give us more details.
What more details?!
what's the command to release and renew my ip?
MinnesotaBro:  is your pc on a router? wired? wireless? ... you never have stated any real facts
refresh i guess my stuff
I'm trying to set up my sudoers file to allow password-less sudo usage for all members of the admin group.  I've added the line:
Wireless I'm at university
'%admin ALL=NOPASSWD: ALL'
but still no luck
ola galera
_0x783czar, why would you do that? ;_;
tudo bacana com vcs
Derp, brazilian?
pepee: setting up a Vagrant image, it's requried
elguem que fala portuges ?
dr_willis: how do you release  and renew the ip like on windows?
algum brasileiro ?
chris_33:  i cant recall needing to in ages.. but i think theres a 'dhcpclient' command/option
chris_33:  or perhaps stop/restart the networking services
dr_willis: thank you
chris_33: fyi, it's "sudo dhclient DEV"
zykotick9: thank you
Ok now i have gotten networking to work.
sudo dhclient DEV
now i have to figure out why xorg fails
chris_33: replace DEV with eth0 wlan0 etc.
frankko, $ dpkg -S /etc/init.d/networking      ifupdown: /etc/init.d/networking
frankko, no need to install everything in /var/cache/apt/archive/  ...
zykotick9: ok
pepee: i have allready done so.
where was the xsession log located?
frankko, yeah, I guess. just saying
frankko, /var/log/Xorg.0.log and ~/.xsession-errors
Does anyone know why I would still be receiving a password prompt on sudo even after I add '%admin ALL=NOPASSWD: ALL' to the sudoers file?  (my user is part of the admin group) it keeps demanding a password.  I followed the same steps I use on RHEL, but no luck on Ubuntu for some reason.
frankko: do you mean xorg logs?
have you logout to takes effect
blackshirt: done it, and it still doesn't work.
blackshirt: even rebooted
zykotick9: ok it kicked me off
the errors i get in xsessions-errors is "/usr/bin/xmodmap:  unable to open file '/usr/share/apps/kxkb/ubuntu.xmodmap' for reading" "[startkde] KDEDIRS: Segmentation fault" and "kdeinit: Pipe closed unexpectedly: No such file or directory"
huh?
does that release AND renew your IP?
chris__333: it should renew it
frankko, fresh install?
_0x783czar: pastebin your /etc/sudoers
so everytime i loose internet i can use that command and it should reget my ip?
chris__333:  depends on why you are loseing internet
zykotick9: not sure why
chris__333:  if for some reason the dhclient cant get to the dhcp servers it wont  do any good.
also "kdeinit: DCOPServer could not be started, aborting." "Warning: connect() failed: : Connection refused"
frankko, if it's a fresh install, it really looks messed up
pepee: it was fresh, but i have installed skype, vlc and some other media apps
zykotick9: im only a few days new to linux. some times i loose internet for hours for no reason. ALL other computers on the wifi work 100% of the time. I don't know the issue
chris__333: it is dues to powersaving most likely
i had that a whole lot when using ralink and broadcom chipsets
jrib: alright one second
zykotick9: How can i disable that in linux? i know in windows its in power settings, but where on here?
frankko, I'd try "sudo --configure -a". this will reconfigure EVERY package, but if there is an error somewhere, it will probably fix it I suppose
Hello, i'm trying to install Ubuntu, and I have a question. I'm using the Windows installer and one of the options is asking about ionstallation size. Does having a smaller installation size affect anything?
jrib: http://pastebin.com/PxFRWi08
Could I please get some help about installing Ubuntu trhough a pendrive?
I already made it bootable
_0x783czar: is your user also in the sudo group?
chris__333: sorry, i really don't have any suggestions for you.  best of luck!
jrib: yes
pepee: sudo dpkg --reconfigure -a does nothing.
_0x783czar: line 26 will override line 23 then.  Either move line 23 below line 26, or reconsider using both admin and sudo
(group)
Araa: Boot it and run the installer. If you have any specific questions or problems then ask about them here.
LogicandReason, it'll affect how many files you'll be able to store.  20 GB should give you room to work and experiment.  If you're going long-term, I'd recommend more.
frankko, ah sorry, it's    sudo dpkg-reconfigure -a
jrib: oh duh!  Thanks!
pepee: tried dpkg-reconfigure -a and it does loads of stuff.
frankko: Wait.
hehe
just that? ok thanks I'll try it out
bwayne: alright, so if I plan to make a bootable USB drive, should I use a smaller size?
frankko: pepee: 1: I don't think that will help anything 2: You'll save yourself a lot of clicking through menus by adding "-pcritical" to that command.
Jordan_U: clicking? i am in CLI
LogicandReason: honestly, using virutalbox, is probably a better solution for "trying" ubuntu then wubi (the windows installer).  a "real" install is a LOT better.
frankko: I couldn't think of the equivalent phrase for CLI menus. It will save you a lot of "Typing and arrowing through".
LogicandReason, the webpage (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QuantalQuetzal/ReleaseNotes/UbuntuDesktop#System_Requirements) says you need 5GB for the ubuntu desktop.
zykotick9: thank you for your help. i'll google it
Can someone help me get my audio panel working again?
bwayne: the easiest and a pretty good sollutions for usb drives is netboot install, then just log in an install ubuntu-desktop metapackage.
bwayne: Alright, so I shouldn't use the Windows installer for a bootable USB?
frankko, I agree.  LogicandReason, see frankko's comment.
i think unetbootin works well.
LogicandReason: no.  unetbootin is one option on MS for creating bootable USBs for installation.
pepee: ok now dpkg-reconfigure -a is done
frankko, reboot?
hello! i got a problem with my touchpad, it is recognized but isnt working, ubuntu 12.10
SOMEONE CAN HELP ME GET MY AUDIO PREFERENCES BACK?! DEY WENT AWAY WHEN I SET IT TO HDMI AUDIO AND NOW I CANT GET IT TO CHANGE BACK
brandon420: no need for caps
frankko, also, run apt-get update; apt-get dist-upgrade

hi
i've just installed windows after ubuntu, does anyone know how i can get grub back?
Hello kate_r
kate_r, windows den ubuntu and all is good. ubuntu den windows and all is bad
hmm
kate_r: there's also the option of installing EasyBCD within windows.
kate_r, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows
but is the method at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows still relevant? i'm on 12.04
is there any way to force ubuntu to do fsck before/during boot?
since i can't do it after i boot. sometimes it doesn't it automatically but can i force it?
fsck can't run after i boot
on the disc
alright thanks
pepee: now i have started in kde failsafe mode. And i get konsole.
i think i might have to reinstall the entire machine... this is just too buggy
kate_r, grub2
yeah
look at the grub2 install instructions kate_r
xyzone, but https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows doesn't talk about grub 2, right?
it's at the bottom
xyzone, so should i recover grub first then upgrade to grub 2?
kate_r, more specific instructions http://blogging.dragon.org.uk/index.php/mini-howtos/howto-reinstall-grub2-on-ubuntu
kate_r, 12.04 already has grub2
xyzone, so should i just follow the instructions at http://blogging.dragon.org.uk/index.php/mini-howtos/howto-reinstall-grub2-on-ubuntu ?
kate_r, yeah
kate_r, see the link from ubottu (official docu)
OerHeks, you mean https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows ?
oh, ubottu
Hey, i've been looking for a good client for linux that will interface/work with skype calls, since i've been told that the "official" skype client for linux blows.  Does anyone have any suggestions?
skype hates linux
Yeah, i've heard.  That's why i'm looking for some way to call/be called skype users on linux.  I'm assuming WINE won't cut it?
nope
acolytetojippity: been using skype here for a long time and other than a few minor issues, it's fine.
Is anyone familiar with xbindkeys? i cant get volume up/down to work.
I just instaled Lubuntu 12.04 on an old laptop. My processor doesn not support PAE.  Is it safe for me to upgrade to 12.10??
blackness: you should say how you are trynig
trying even
@somsip: What kind of 'minor issues'?  Myself and a few others are looking to run a meeting via skype in a few days, but one of our number uses linux
using lines like: "amixer -q set Master 2+ unmute" ; XF86AudioRaiseVolume
and the amixer line works..ive tested this.
acolytetojippity: if I miss a call, it doesn't clear and appears as a missed call for days. It used to crash and needed to delete ~/.Skype/*xml to get it to restart, but that was the previous version. I needed to replace my ancient webcam when I started using it.
blackness: so what key are you pressing?
@somsip ok, cool.  good to know.  Thanks!
hey guyz, downloaded the desktop iso burned on dvd, put it into my drive, but it doesn't boot,
took a look, dvd contains the wubi and autorun  shows to wubi
is that normal?
shakaponk: I had this problem last week. The first thing you should do is make sure you run md5sum on the iso
acolytetojippity: also I group chat with two others (California and Halifax Canada) from Thailand and it's good enough, and video to UK often which is mostly fine. It's not the dog it used to be IME
wyclif, and then?
what was the solution?
shakaponk: IOW, make sure it's not a corrupted burn of the iso
shakaponk: then try installing again
wyclif, i've downloaded both of them 12.10 and 12.04.1
i need to install pclinuxos from usb any takes...
both have wubi.exe
shakaponk: well, that's the first thing you should do along the lines of normal troubleshooting, i.e., check the simple things first
It's been a while since I bothered with optical install media, but IIRC the boot menu used to have an option to verify the burnt disc
shakaponk: because if you check it and then try again and it still won't install, at least you've ruled corruption out
Or is it not getting even to the initial boot menu?
everytime i try installing pclinuxos from usb it fails to read the iso
Is there any way to force the installer to use legacy/BIOS GRUB when the CD is booted from EFI?
I assume you're talking about the skype for linux client, correct?
acolytetojippity: yes. 64 bit
cool!
yahusha_: This is the Ubuntu help channel. If you want help with a non-Ubuntu Linux distro, perhaps you should be asking elsewhere.
jrib, the volume up key
blackness: are you sure that's recognized as XF86AuidoRaiseVolume?
Heya hiya.
i used vex to capture the key..but it looked funny..pnmixer keybindings can control volume up/down and it uses those
blackness: "but it looked funny"?
Are there any XChat users who happen to know why the nick list has disappeared from my channel windows?
lemme capture again
weird, xev wont capture this anymore
Strategos, you deleted the list
blackness: yeah, kill xbindkeys.  Though that probably means it's working :)
Xangua: Yes, no change.  It's the same for User list (Ctrl+F7).
done..recapture?
Blackness: I deleted a list of channel nicks?  Those are generally updated on the fly.
the window of the list.
This being the official support channel.. I assume indept and detailed questions are generally accepted?
Chain: Yeah, we're all learning here. :)
here is the capture: "NoCommand" m:0x0 + c:123 XF86AudioRaiseVolume jrib
Chain: yes, just ask on one line (use a pastebin if you need to include logs, errors, and such)
Those are the best kinds of question. Just don't over-use newlines.
wyclif:  u still here? where can i get the right iso?
checksum is not the same
could it be that im using a sound applet aswell as xbindkeys ?
blackness: try /usr/bin/amixer instead of just amixer
ok
Ah, dragging part of the window took care of it.
blackness: also, get rid of the semicolon
Alright.  Well, just today I installed ubuntu alongside Windows Vista.  I apparently installed edubuntu?  Which isn't what I wanted.. and it seems to me that the installation is almost half-functioning.. which leads me to believe I probably did something wrong in the installation process.  I'm completely at a loss.
Chain: what did you want if it wasn't edubuntu?
i was using a semi colon as a divider
its working ;) thanks jrib
I was trying to install just ubuntu.
blackness: no problem
Chain: I'd probably just reinstall then with the iso I wanted
need more tweaks ;P
is there a way to configure xfce so that when I click on a link from another application that's in another workspace that it will either open a new browser window in the workspace it's in instead of moving my other browser window to the current workspace?
does that make sense?
blackness: now use espeak to have some keys say random things
That was my assumed course of action.. I just don't even know how to uninstall it correctly.
oh no thank you..talking keys would drive me gnuts
Chain: no need to uninstall, just make sure that when you install you choose to overwrite the existing edubuntu install
blackness: haha my officemate loves them I'm sure
evil....just evil.
So a PC user, a network engineer, and a Linux engineer walk into a bar.
The bartender asks, "What is this, a joke?"
jrib: Alright, that's probably what I'll do.  I'm guessing somewhere in the installation process it will ask me about overwriting the existing edubuntu installation?
Chain: maybe. You might need to choose "manual partitioning" and then just choose the partition that got used last time.  Not sure if there's some more straightforward "overwrite the last install" button
jrib: Alright, well you said there isn't a need to uninstall.. is there a simple way to do it?  I feel as though that'd be an easier way for me not to miss something.
i think ubuntu is not suitable for matrix hacking. it wouldn't be cool to hack matrix with adware
hi
Hey my harddrive is beeping randomly and my disk utilitys says i have an unallocated partition that is 18 million terabytse
tht's not a good sign
Any ideas
opps brb
Chain: your other option is to just delete the partitions eduubuntu is using and then have the installer use the free space
Chain: (I don't think this is much easier)
PoolShark_: nah, tons of storage space now
yeah I'll say. 18 Million Terabytes is huge
hi, did rss feeds update constantly?
Hey everyone....
like bbc's rss feed
jrib: You're probably right.. um.. more information I thought I should include and might be important; for installation I went on the ubuntu website and just downloaded "Ubuntu Desktop Windows Installer" 12.10.  Is that what I should be doing?
Chain: I'm not familiar with that.  I would just burn a disc and then boot from that
Chain: actually, maybe you used wubi?
hey PoolShark_  can i pm you
i'm a total newb to ubuntu and linux entirely and I've been having an issue trying to mount a network hard drive..... the problem is I can't do a direct save to it... so when i download something i can't choose the network drive as a storage location to download right onto
jrib: I have no idea what wubi is.. I feel like this lack of knowledge is where my problem is coming from.
Chain: yeah the "windows installer" seems to be wubi.  Wubi will just create a file on your windows partition instead of creating a separate partition for ubuntu.  Here's the uninstall procedure: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WubiGuide#Uninstallation
hey PoolShark_  can i pm you
it will show up as "mounted" in the home folder... but not through any save as menu with an application ... the only application that shows it is LIbreoffice ...
can anybody help
ctdennis1985,  pm me
Chain: going to bed now; others here can help if you have more questions
jrib: Thanks for the help.  Now that I sortof understand what I should be doing, I'm gonna go give this a try.  Much appreciated!
@JonathanDawdy try a SMART utilility to see if the drive is failing first, if yes backup what you can
|join #poopchat
awr i did if you pm me i really would like to send you the pictures so you understand fully
please
pictures in PM, that sounds suspicious, try posting the SMART values that are failing
fine... I used disk utilitys and its says its just fine "completly healthy" nothing to my knowlage is broken except the hard drive beeping and the 18mil terabytpe partition being there
Does 12.10 still run slowly in VirtualBox or has that been fixed now?
first
hello
Hello anyone listening
yeah
i did and no one answered me
how to entry to others hardware?
that happened to me in a Windows machine, I just start up a partition manager and a fix was automatically offered, someone here can suggest a good one for linux
JonathanDawdy: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org or http://askubuntu.com/; Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..."
shyrain, why would you want to do that
shyrain, and how is that connected to ubuntu support
JonathanDawdy, an 18 MIllion Terabyte partition?
Two questions one:my hard drive is beeping from time to time? --Two:i have an unallocated partition showing in my disk utilities its free-space and 18 mill terabytes
JonathanDawdy, what is the hdd total size
JonathanDawdy: pastebin the output of "sudo fdisk -l"
Harddrives don't beep, motherbord does.
never heard of a HDD that size
beeps could happen because of inadequate power, or many other things
i have pictures of my disk utilitys and gparted
JonathanDawdy, no pictures
JonathanDawdy, the output requested above
ok one sec
JonathanDawdy, see the manual of your motherboard, for the short-long beep value
I am curious... anyone know what happens in linux if you have more disks than there are letters in the alphabet?
a computer I was working on was beeping under heavy load, turns out it was a bad PSU
It came with window7 so it wont explain this but im doing what you said so just a second.
i.e. /dev/sd{a-z}, then what?
PoolShark_: sdaa
ahh
it'll do double letters like that? that'll be prone to errors
What time is the new Raring daily build uploaded usually?
yeehi, #ubuntu+1 for that
ok fdisk doesnt show the 18 mil terabytpe partition
JonathanDawdy, pastebin.com the output and give us the url
the huge partition is a partition table problem I am pretty sure, a good partition manager should offer an automatic fix
ugg fine but it show what it really is i dont care about what it says
PoolShark_, you can have up to  18278 drives > http://rwmj.wordpress.com/2011/01/09/how-are-linux-drives-named-beyond-drive-26-devsdz/
i wanna know why disk utilitys shows the 18 mill
JonathanDawdy, just the pastebin, please
ok i will
interesting
I should create 18278 100MB virtual disks on my server just to see it happen :p (I am sure it would die a fiery death if I tried)
http://imagebin.org/235771 there it is but i posted the pictures on the ubuntu forums can i give you that please
poolshark, try 27 ..
haha, PoolShark! that is a funny idea
bazhang,  you still there
http://nitinpant.hubpages.com/hub/Repair-Partition-Table and go to 3. GParted Comes to the RescueGparted is probably already on your machine, start it and see if it shows the
big partition, delete it if you can and try to create a new partition over it
I disconnected and purged Ubuntu One from my system, but my files and folders still display check marks or syncing symbols and I get notifications that files are being synced.
i have gparted and i have a pic of what it shows do you want that yet i only offered it 3 times

hey all
can someone please help me?
I can't log into Ubuntu beause vnc4server won't start
better off looking it in youtube
you might find the answer there
zombieman, I'm no expert, but what happens when you try to start vncserver from a shell prompt? Do you get an error message?
wait
vncserver:
HOME variable not set
hey guys, I was wondering, is there a way to install ubuntu FROM a sdcard?I don't have a virgin cd nor my motherboard is friendly with usb stick, so is there a way to use a sdcard instead?
rumpe1, what you mean?
JonathanDawdy, about the noise thought when you say beeping  what to you mean?a beep from the case speaker, or directly from the hard disk?and if from the hard disk describe it
try, man var
b0w,  make a paist bin of what your keyboard/system hotkeys plz
so
how do I log in
JonathanDawdy, ok

I want to log in to XFCE (xubuntu)
I need VNC
ju4nk42012, I sometimes have to do a cold restart (not a reboot) to unlock the hardblock
damnit
awr,  i mean sometimes i cant say when my harddrive makes a ton of beeps like 5 to 10 and i can only hear it if i put my ear to the vent on my laptop
I get this gray screen when I try VNC
zombieman, have you looked here? --> http://stackoverflow.com/questions/11440615/jenkins-xvnc-home-variable-not-set-error

I've rebooted
hello

awr,  some of these random times have been booting,when the io is high,durring idle,when opening a file,ext
tried that
but I still get a gray screen in VNC
does echo $HOME show your home directory?
sianhulo, sure, use the usb creator, and select your SD card and the iso, only if your pc can boot from it.
wait
I need a little help getting wake-on-lan working on my dell inspiron

Black_Daemon, $ pulseaudio --start

I tried sudo ethtool -s eth0 wol g
rumpe1,  and as i do that shutdown -r now?
but no luck
ok
should I try $ pacmd ?
err, no question mark
derheks, then i think i got a problem... if i cannot boot from a pendrive i think that a sd card must be worse
ju4nk42012, e.g.
i have some problems with  wifi drivers  in bb03.is a geetek wifi antena.i can connect to internet but i cant use the wifi things.bb-03 10.10 maverick.
Rigwyn, it echos a blank line
what do I do?
zombieman: i usually try locally..
what do you mean holstein?
though, i have had some issues with my normal vino/vinagre or remmina setups recently.. i assumed it was my bad
zombieman: i mean.. locally.. run the server and a client to test on the same box
it's a remote server
two time zomes away
i have some problems with  wifi drivers  in bb03.is a geetek wifi antena.i can connect to internet but i cant use the wifi things.bb-03 10.10 maverick. any help please?
I don't have money for an airplane ticket to Oklahoma
zombieman, I don't know if the absence of that variable is your problem or not. Likewise, its kind of odd that its not set.
How do I log into Gnome?
zombieman: all im suggesting is, there are more variables that "vncserver isnt working"
you can set it manually like this for now:   export HOME=/home/zombieman
]But how do I log in to XUBUNTU from SSH?
I have upgrade the kernel by the software upgrade manager, but I remove the kernel image
why
zombieman: you'll need to make sure the host machine is setup properly.. if ssh server is runnin, and the firewall is open, its a matter of "ssh username@serverip (or hostname)"
Rigwyn, damnit. I got this: vncserver: Wrong type or access mode of /home/maroon5/.vnc.
then each time i run apt-get install, it will show me not find the kernel
ok, so with the realtek 8101 there's basically no WOL function?
StackProphet, hmm... i forget the reason...
I have tried the kernel drivers, the drivers from realtek, and nothing really appears to work
DrManhattan: have you tried the windows drivers in ndisgtk?
Kind of a bummer, since this basic functionality is a deal-breaker for me and ubuntu. I've used it for years but now it appears a very basic function of the distro has disappeared.
holstein, why on earth would I try windows drivers?
hard disk sounds differ from model to model, you should worry if you hear a clicking sound http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cd8KwJ2q50g, or the drive continuously starts and stops,like when connecting an external usb hard disk on an underpowered USB port
DrManhattan: ? because you are having issues with other drivers.. as i read it
besides, the problem usually isn't with the driver but with the kernel
DrManhattan: its an option..
holstein, alrighty, thanks
DrManhattan: you dont have to try it.. you can take the advice of any other volunteer here..
zombieman, sorry, I don't know.
it's all good holstein and I appreciate it. My apologies for any apparent lack of gratitude
DrManhattan: i only suggest it because it actually works for me with a certain chipset.. and its really easy to try
awr,  i understand except the beeping was not coused by movement it was a noise being played
ahhh holstein this isnt a wireless card
i figured it out
gnome-session
thanks anyway guys
DrManhattan: interesting.. i have a stack of nics.. i would just grab another.. they are quite cheap..
don't have an extra pci slot in the box
i have seen a few wired that didnt work.. i just took them out
that must be from the case speaker then, it probably is an error code, you can see what those mean in your bios manual as someone said to you above, I will be heading off soon take care
ya but all of them say "_beeps and computer wont start"... but my computer works just fine
hi ping__
it's still not working :\
Are you sure? sometimes the errors are not critical and the computer can boot, but it is usually an error that needs to be dealt with at sometime in the future, usually failing hardware, did you match the error code with the beep?This only happens at boot?
the odd thing is that when I boot up, I hear the little sound at the beginning when it asks for my password.
Black_Daemon,  what is the problem?
my sound output is not working
I thought it may be my default.pa file in /etc/pulse/ directory
but I used ping's and it's still not working
ah, sorry, I may not help
I ran a diff on them, though, and here's the output:
Black_Daemon, $ ps aux | grep pulse
awr,  the beeps sound all the same and to fast to count its dont beeping after about 3 seconds
all, I have two VGA display shown in the lspci, how can i know which one is being used now?
at boot only?
ping__ here is the output of what you told me to do: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1357179/
no i said randomly all the time
weiyang, here is the output from the diff i you care to see: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1357183/
Black_Daemon, hmm running
Black_Daemon, try this  loginctl show-session $XDG_SESSION_ID | grep Active
well, this blows. Apparently WOL simply isn't going to work
default.pa is ping's, and default.pa.back is mine
yes or no
Black_Daemon, ok, let me take a loo
Hooray
look
this fucking blows really. I love ubuntu and I do NOT want to switch distros
bbiab
ping__ it says loginctl: command not found
how can i increase my notebook temperature?
simplew,  build several kernel at the same time?
hey anyone know a program i can install on ubuntu to make it so i can play sound files on my microphone
JonathanD, using an input-device for output?
i have 10.04 and i have an issue w/ a hard block from rfkill on my wireless card how may i fix this?
anyone?
demonboy: i would elaborate as to the issues.. i might try 12.04 live and consider upgrading
rumpe1,  i have ubuntu ultimate 2.3 and i do beleve gnome runs my sounds and desktop gui i think i tryed that already but i may need more help.that and i dont want to connectmy speaker to my mic i want a program to play sound files through my mic
demonboy: I hate to be another guy to just go "Upgrade, it'll fix everything!" but I too had some really weird issues with the wireless card in both 10.x versions of Ubuntu, and they no longer exist in 12.10.
holstein i hate 12.04/12.10 as much as i hate windows 8
JonathanDawdy, you mean you want to record sound from your mic to a file then play it through your speakers?
hello, I have a video in an iso image, how can i see it on my pc?
hey ping__, sorry, did you see my message about not having loginctl?
JonathanDawdy, or do you want to play what your mic hears through your speakers live and in real time?
demonboy: gnome2 is gone.. have you tried xfce? xubuntu 12.04 is what i would try
and no it doesnt fix it... ubuntu 12.10 didnt recognize the card at all
no. a goo example is i have a song and i want my friend on skype to HEAR  it. il just open up a program and tell it to play the song on the mic
which is y i rolled back to 10.04
i ran rfkill and it took off the soft block but not the hard block
demonboy: what device?
JonathanDawdy, try jackaudio
wait
wmp11 linksys pci card
drakon1: The standard archive viewer can open and extract .iso files, is the ISO file an image of a DVD?
JonathanDawdy, but it has a learning curve
demonboy: TBH, i have no idea what the blocks are you are speaking of.. i have only ever just loaed drivers
thanx litropy  il try it ... wait learning curve y?
Gerowen: yes, I managed to mount it but it appears empty
holstein if you run #rfkill list all
demonboy: i would give the line from lspci
it will show devices and if they are blocked
Gerowen: it is a dvd
demonboy: im pretty sure i have no blocked devices... you mean, blacklisted modules?
JonathanDawdy, when something has a learning curve it takes some getting used to. For instance, Ubuntu has more of a learning curve than OS X or Windows.
what about lshw?
demonboy: sure... just something with the chipset
JonathanDawdy, but the good news is, there's plenty of documentation on the net, and there's also an IRC chan
drakon1: VLC is the easiest because you can just click "Media" "Play Disc" and change /dev/dvd to the folder where the ISO is mounted.
I know what learning curve means but is there anything about jackaudio i should know about that i might gt stuck on
cool
JonathanDawdy, that chan is #jack
Gerowen: ok, i'll try that, thanks!
http://paste.ubuntu.com/1357200/
12.10 ran slowly in virtualbox - has this issue been fixed yet? is there a workaround?
drakon1: np
tnx
JonathanDawdy, it has been a while since I messed with jackaudio. I'm not up to date on the snags.
* holstein uses JACK often
http://paste.ubuntu.com/1357204/
JonathanDawdy, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToJACKConfiguration
JonathanDawdy: if you dont need lowlatency, just go with the defaults... the frames/period and periods/buffer are what we tweak
Gerowen: didn't work
go with 512 or 1024/2
got an error message that just says it can't open it
drakon1: Unmount the image,and try re-mounting it, if you used the built-in Ubuntu image mounter, it probably gave you this really weird, cryptic mount location that VLC sometimes doesn't like.
holstein,  please reword, i didnt understnd you atall
drakon1: You can make a custom mount point with: sudo mkdir /mnt/iso
Gerowen: ok, i'll try that
JonathanDawdy: you will once you actually start trying to run/use JACK
drakon1: Then mount the image with: mount -o loop -t iso9660 FOO.iso /mnt/test
drakon1: just replace FOO.iso with the actual name of the iso
JonathanDawdy: i would say, if you dont need lowlatency or crazying routing, its overkill
drakon1: Oh and stick sudo in front of the mount command, you gotta be root to mount stuff.
hey guys.  has anyone solved the galaxy s3 mounting problem?  just wondering as google still tells me no....  which sucks.  lol.
Hello friends not working FN keys in ubuntu 12.04 and i can't activate my wifi any help please
demonboy: i have a 4313
Hey, I fried my mother board yesterday. I can still access my HDD. I'm in the proce of moving files. So far I've got /home/my_user and /var. Is there any other directories that store user settings that I should be concerned about? Thanks
Gerowen: i did it, i have the new directory but again it appears empty
4313 what?
WHO *.co.jp
oops
demonboy: you seem to have the a bcm4303.. i have a 4313
drakon1: Was the DVD an encrypted DVD, like one you bought from Wal-Mart?  If so, do you have libdvdcss2 installed?
Gerowen: i dont know, i downloaded it
CptIgnorant, /var generally does not store 'user settings'
also running #ifconfig wlan0 up i get a 132 error
drakon1: Ah, then the image may be corrupted or bad.  You could try re-downloading it, or making an image of one of your own DVDs and mounting that just to make sure your method is working.
demonboy: i just havent needed to get that "dirty" with a bcm chip in 10.04, or beyond.. whats the issue?
I also have a LAMP stack but I've forgotten where all the onfiguration setting go *sigh*
Gerowen: ok, thanks a lot for your help
:-)
drakon1: Np
hi, i'm on ubuntu 10.04, and the maximum resolution i can get for my 30' Dell monitor (connected via hdmi) is 1280x800.  does anyone know how i might be able to increase this
boxbeatsy: i would try a different driver
i cant enable wireless internet i have to be hardwired in
demonboy: have you tried the proprietary drivers?
i'm problem with FN keys in ubuntu 13.04
12.04
it doesnt have one that i know of... my nvidia card uses them but i havent found one for this card
demonboy: i would refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx
holstein: hi, thanks for the answer.  i'm actually realy new to linux.  do you know how or where i can find the appropriate display driver for my hardware?
boxbeatsy: depends on the hardware.. you can start
box i believe it was directed to me
Has anyone figured out how to get WOL working on a realtek 8101?
DrManhattan: from what i have found, its more hardware based...
holstein, sadly, the issue is with the linux kernel, not with the drivers. This USED to work just fine in ubuntu. Now it doesn't work at all.
i'm bored
What would be the easiest way of finding every app ever installed on your system. I can't mount but I can browse the file-system.
I am going to try the 32 bit release in the hopes it will work. The machine only has 2g ram in it anyhow. If it doesn't, I may have to leave ubuntu. I might just set it up on windows (where WOL works just fine) and ditch linux altogether. At this point frustrating things like this show me why MS makes so much money.
DrManhattan: so change your kernel or compile in what you need
sorry ill do this though
kvothetech, right.
like magic.
CptIgnorant: sniff out /etc/apt/ dir
CptIgnorant: apt history should be in there somewhere

holstein... i installed the STA version and it still wont work it sees the card but still says disabled
I have problem with FN Keys in ubuntu 12.04 and i can't activate my wifi
@ju4nk was wifi working before in ubuntu?
or is it a fresh install?
demonboy: did you try "enabling" it?
ju4nk42012: i would run lspci.. if you see the card listed there, then i would just try installing a driver is there is one
ju4nk42012: i have seen a few that the hardware lights dont come on til the driver is there.. i would refer to
@ju4nk, i usually just connect it to the wired lan, download all drivers, then it usually works after that for me
yeah... i was assuming you were wired up as well ju4nk42012
 /close
ubuntu 12.04 , ssh localhost
ssh: connect to host localhost port 22: Connection refused
why not it is connecting to ssh
cloudgeek: you are not running sshd on the local?
holstein, ubottu  thanks for the reply... run lspci and i have  an atheros AR9285
almoxarife: i created a new user , from there i want to make a ssh connection ,ok should i need to keep running ssh on my root
cloudgeek: is a ssh server installed and running? would see 'sshd' in running processes owned by root
ju4nk42012: then the broadcom link is not good for you... i would try http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1998100
ju4nk42012: just a stab i the dark, insure you have installed package 'linux-headers-generic' , i am assuming you have the 'generic' kernel
cloudgeek: you'll need to install an ssh server.. sudo apt-get openssh-server for example.. then you can ssh in on localhost to test
almoxarife,  holstein I typing ifconfig wlan0 up and i get  Operation imposible to be disabled radiofrequency
holstein: almoxarife okay now it is connecting
12.04
ubottu: install JVM
cloudgeek: cool, now install 'putty' to take the hassel out of multiple ssh entries
that is quite weak and lame. neither the 32 or 64 bit allows me to use WOL. This is one of the reasons I left fedora. I hope ubuntu gets this fixed eventually.
almoxarife: okay i do the same, can help in installing sun jvm
wol?
.o ud wol
sun java install requires a ppa dont it cloudgeek?
DrManhattan: What are you doing to try to enable Wake On LAN and what error messages (if any) are you getting?
Jordan_U, I've tried adding ethtool -s eth0 wol g to rc.local and even typed it in by hand to test things out. There are no error msgs as the box isn't on to give any.
so it was rhetorical
DrManhattan: But "ethtool -s eth0 wol g" gives you no error message?
Neither the included driver for my card (r8169 module) or the realtek driver (r8101 module) enable WOL.
Jordan_U, that is correct.
Jordan_U, according to the system, its working. but it isnt.
I'd like to setup a shared volume group with lvm2. But I'm having trouble resizing it the the entire size.
my lappy has a bios opt in for WOL, does yours DrManhattan?
almoxarife, it does and it is enabled.
after installing the drivers i no longer have the option in the driver section to use the legacy drivers
ping__!
holstein,
I fixed it!!!
DrManhattan: And if you enable WOL from within windows, then shut down / suspend and send a magic packet the machine wakes up?
this helped: http://askubuntu.com/questions/101088/no-sound-in-inbuilt-speakers
Jordan_U, that is correct.
what happened is that the profile was going to HDMI, not analog stereo duplex
and so I changed it and it's working now
holstein,  type  network DESACTIVADO and showed network DESACTIVADO
Black_Daemon: welcome to hdmi sound
what exactly is hdmi sound?
holstein, type sudo lshw -C network and showed network DISABLED
I disconnected and removed Ubuntu One from my computer, but I still get notifications that messages are syncing, and my icons still display check marks, etc.
Black_Daemon, awesome
Black_Daemon: lets assume you have a hdmi connection avail, you opt for hdmi sound and while connected you will have sound go to the hdmi connection
thanks again for the help!!! and boy am I glad I can listen to music again :)
oh of course
DrManhattan: Does the network card appear to still be powered after shutdown/suspend?
Jordan_U, No. It still shows me a light on the card and on the switch.
Jordan_U, My apologies - I guess that answer would have been "Yes"
Black_Daemon: xbmc would come to mind for why hdmi sound is great
hmmm almoxarife that's interesting
anyway I have to go, so thanks again for the help folks!
Black_Daemon: if you have a good hdmi'ed sound system then its great
This is my output code from pv / lv / vg display. I'm still trying to get one volume group of 400 GB or larger & have it striped across the 3 hdd's.

what is differences between nat, bridging, and host only in vbox network type
?
blackshirt: nat uses your host to dhcp, bridge uses your router and host only will not get out
blackshirt: for normal access to the internet i use bridged
almoxarife, when we use bridging, thats mean we still can connect to out in guest os ?
blackshirt: bridged allows the guest to access the internet according to the rules set by the router, getting an ip from the router, nat would carry the rules set by the host
blackshirt: to the world nat looks like the host squacking
almoxarife, okey ... So is it possible to use our own local dns server in our guest to serve dns resolving ?
blackshirt: you want to use the guest as in the guest running on the host as the dns server?
almoxarife, i have setup private dns server in guest
blackshirt: the guest cant be the only source for dns for the host, because the host will be/should be looking for dns service prior to the guest os being up, unless you can get around that
blackshirt: i have a server on my internal network dishing out dns(cache-dnsmasq) but its up usually 24/7, so nothing else is left dns'less :)
almoxarife, i want my own local dns to serve the guest os, not host
blackshirt: then you want to run 'nat' , and let the 'host' dns-serve the 'guest'
Hey guys. Is there any nice software for Ubuntu that I can use to rip my VCDs? DVD rippers like AcidRipper and Handbrake don't work. :(
blackshirt: what is 'local', define that
blackshirt: if you are running a dns server on your local net, and you want the 'guest' to use 'it', and 'it' is not the 'host' , then we are back to 'bridged' , the setting up of where the guest got dns would be done within the guest os
blackshirt: What is your end goal?
almoxarife, local mean for dns installed on this guest
blackshirt: what Jordan_U said
hi, I'm trying to help a user who is typing some (unkown) keyboard shortcut, that has the effect of making all buttons in the bar AND all icons in the desktop to disappear. I've browsed thru a shortcuts webpage looking for a candidate that would be the cause of this, but I couln't find it. Which shotcut(s) could have this effect?
in unity ubuntu 12.04
harovali: told him/her not to do that yet?
i created new use but didn't password asking for password what should i need to do
i used below command
almoxarife: yes, in fact I told her to be overly attentious to what she types. It happens only to her among many users, and in two different equally configured computers
sudo adduser --system --shell /bin/bash --gecos 'ruhil' --group --disabled-password --home /home/ruhil ruhil
xangua: yes, show/hide the desktop icons and the buttons in the taskbar/launcher
why asking for password
cloudgeek: Why did you pass the '--disabled-password' option to adduser? What do you plan to use this user for?
Jordan_U: for my local deveopment for coding
Jordan_U: but when sudo tar -xvf then
it ask for password
cloudgeek: I asked two questions. You only answered one of them.
why it is asking for
Jordan_U: i passed that so i didn't type password again and again
cloudgeek: That's not what that option means.
Jordan_U:okay, then let me know what is means
Jordan_U: so help me now
:)
cloudgeek: It means that the user doesn't have a password. That's all. Not having a password doesn't change sudo's requirements.
xangua: could be, I'll tell her to test
BlueT_:
she has the shortcut harcoded in her fingertips
Jordan_U: so now so should i need to set a password for sudo or shall i need to work without sudo
Jordan_U: if the user does not have a password, then what would one enter for sudo? nothing i assume does not work
almoxarife: With the default configuration of sudo, sudo simply won't work.
oh dear
now what else can i do
i really am at a point where i need to give 'root' its own password for xbmc-buntu, yet i am very afraid of screwing up, anyone care to give me the 100% sure no screwup method to do that? somethings just would be better done in xbmc-buntu straight out of root. ssh sudo does some weird things
and am i better off doing the root password thing at the local level or ssh safe to do it?
Does anyone know what command is used to preview notify-osd
?
How do I boot from a live CD with no monitor and only ssh access?
I need to resize a logical volume for the 'root'
The computer is in my basement, can I assume putty will be able to ssh into the livecd?
otter
Guess no one knows my question xD
LifeIsGood169: the live CD doesn't come with a ssh server, so you can't
tsimpson: is there a way to unmount /dev/vg0/root so I can resize it and reduce it?
rectec: http://linuxlibrary.org/notifyosd-desktop-notifications/ <-- check that out
tsimpson: guess I'll have to get a spare monitor and haul it down to the basement. xD  thanks for helping. :)
almoxarife, nvm. I was editing a bug report on notify-osd and I wanted people to preview notify-osd to see the bubble's background color. Don't want everyone to have to install 3rd party software. Thanks anyway.
tsimpson: thats something to fix then
rectec: here's a cut n paste that should help code.
rectec: code.
rectec: doh
rectec: notify-send -i "$icon" -t 5000 --app-name "${appname}" "$from" "$subject"
somsip, Code doesn't work? Sorry I'm a little busy
hey guys, is there have any simple code to do ethernet QOS ?
rectec: you will have to swap out the bash variables...
somsip, yeah I figured. I'll get to it in just a sec. Thanks.
somsip: hes busy, :)
almoxarife, lol, trying to get a workaround for this bug
rectec: i am busy  too :)
almoxarife, yay!
rectec: coincidence then, 'cos I'm busy too!

Ubuntu 11.10 (Oneiric Ocelot) <-- is it lts?
almoxarife: thought it was one there. Nah - 10.04 was IIRC
somsip: great, but is 11.10 lts? wait, i shall get busy loking it up myself
u all WOULD get a good attitude on all of us (called Nooooobs...)
almoxarife: no - 10.04 then 12.04
nforzar1: believe me, we are all noobs, there is always someone better at it
Hey, quick question, how do I specify a default route in the nm applet?
i've no opion
somsip: how do i upgrade to 12.04 from 11.10? or does the classic upgrade apt command take me to the current, where i dont want to go
almoxarife: I only made that move prior to 12.10, so I'm not sure if something will kick you straight to 12.10. So I can't help
GodfatherofEir1: can you expand on that, i assume you want to change your network settings
almoxarife: you should see an option to upgrade to 12.04 in the update manager
somsip: i have xbmc-buntu running rather flawless, but its at oneiric(11.04)??
almoxarife, I'm trying to change the routes under the network manager applet and I'm not quite sure how to specify a default route. Usually thats 0.0.0.0/0, but nm-applet doesn't allow that as a valid route.
almoxarife: is there a need to upgrade? If not, I'd leave it alone. Which is why I'm on 12.04 for now...
somsip: need? no, you right, i'll let it be
GodfatherofEir1: default route to what/were?
almoxarife, anything not already specified by a given route (e.g. outside my network)
can any1 help me with an issue w/ my wireless card i have been at it for a while now reinstalled ubuntu several times w/ new and old versions w/ the same result
GodfatherofEir1: are you setting up the black hole thing?
almoxarife: no, I'm not, I'm trying tp specify to use one gateway with a given metric and if that is unavailable to use a different gateway. I know how to do this from a command line, I'm just trying to make the settings persistent between reboots (hence nm-applet, otherwise the routing table will be overwritten by it)
demonboy: try this, insure you have 'headers' for your kernel installed first, that may make the problem go away, in terminal 'sudo apt-get install linux-headers-generic' , then reboot
ill try tht i havent gotten that yet
Can someone suggest a tablet or phone that comes with or can have ubuntu installed on it?
they are installed it shows 0 for installed, upgraded etc
GodfatherofEir1: paste the command line, pls, sounds like you need to change the content of a conf file
almoxarife, basically all I'm trying to do is specify what would be done on the command line by "ip route add default via 192.168.42.129 dev wlan0 metric 100; ip route add default via 192.168.1.1 dev wlan0 metric 200"
demonboy: ok, so much for the simple solution
sed s/"wlan0"/"eth0"/ lol
its not a simple solutioni have tried simple.... and its blocked by rfkill with a hard block yet this is a desktop and the pci card has no jumpers nor switches
GodfatherofEir1: is that what a router does via special routes?
demonboy: whats the output for your wireless card, read from lspci i hope
The default route is a special route yes. Specified by 0.0.0.0/0 iirc.

Ping timeout?
So I have a script that mounts a cifs-share, does some magics, and the tries to umount it. Sometimes the umount fails, and so the next run mounts the same share to the same mountpoint. Is there a way to tell umount to umount everything against a particular mountpoint, or do I need to write a loop?
hateball: If the umount fails the first time, why do you expect it to succeed the second time?
Jordan_U: Because CIFS tends to be... not so great.
hateball: What error message are you getting from the failed umount?
Jordan_U: None. It just doesnt umount sometimes. So my current workaround is to just put two umounts at the end of my script. It's not like it does any harm either, it just doesnt look neat
I suppose I could change the script to run verbose
hateball: Does umount exit with an exit code of 0?
Jordan_U: Good question. I can check and add proper sanity to this, but I was hoping not to :p
hateball: I haven't dealt much with CIFS, but I have a hard time believing that umount would exit while failing to unmount, with no indication of the failure. My guess is that it's actually a bug in your script or for some reason mount is being called twice and umount only once, leaving one mount still there (despite umount exiting successfully). And the solution to this is *not* to just add umount loops until you understand the ...
;;
... root cause of the problem (though, apon finding the root cause, a umount loop might be an apropriate solution).

I mean, there is a way to 'boot' into that installation?

_mak you are you talking about installing the grub to the usb stick and booting from that?
sudo install-grub /dev/usbstick _mak
seemawn, no, it already has grub installed, I can use it normally if I boot on it, I just want to know how to use it from another install, I want to plug the usb and from my current install, open a shell from the usb install
with all the environments vars loaded, the home folder decrypted, etc
just as if it was a normal boot...
maybe I need to boot on it with a virtual machine?
that sound good _mak the virtual machine, other than that, I can't see it.  Your grub will only boot one device at a time
hello all, can somebody answer how many files can stored in on directory in ext3?
seemawn, I thought that maybe there was a way to chroot on it...
_mak you can go into /media/usbstick and bring up a terminal from there but other than that I can't see it.
but chroot don't seems to work as I need
dunno _mak
seemawn, thanks anyway
Areks, how ever many your hard drive will hold.  Ext3 is a type of hd format correct?
seeqwell: ext3 - FS.
NIGHT
Archtivity, df -H shows you the size of your hard drive.  You can fit up that that much oh never mind
hi, i have a notebook with a AMD Radeon HD 6520G.  my 30" dell maxes out at 1200x800 resolution.  i'm currently runnign with the latest amd proprietary driver.  upon installing the open source fxlgr driver, my system crashed.  does anyone have ideas on how i can increase my resolution?
seeqwell: you mean I haven't any limit of file count?
so i can store for example a few billion file in one catalog?
*files
anyone? :\
Areks: there is still a limited number of blocks... and for performance I think it's recommended to keep <15k files in a single dir
is anyone awake that can help with moving my husband's korganizer files?
hateball: i wanna know max count )
hateball: now i have filder where stored more then 100 000 )
Areks: the max count depends on inodes available, "df -i"
llutz_: inodes = max count?
Areks: kinda, yes
If you need to store that many files then moving to ext4 would probably be a wise choice
So I installed Ubuntu using WUBI cause I was lazy and didn't want to repartition and now mount.ntfs is using all the CPU. What gives?
Snicers-Work: i would on the win side check out the health of the ntfs system
ntfs file system is fine, this seems to be a common problem with no solution. http://askubuntu.com/questions/78532/mount-ntfs-using-all-the-cpu-while-trying-to-run-a-program

Hello can someone help me install themes for Lubuntu. I have the theme extracted ina  folder in .themes but it's not showing up in the Theme 'program'
When I type 'ls' in the .themes folder both the themes are highlighted in green, what does this mean and does it play a role
John76: it's just permissions
What should I do to make it usuable then
John76: pastebin the output of "ls -la" plesase

of .themes
yes
http://pastebin.com/NY3yp4Fu
John76: they are zip files
John76: I assume it's maverick-meerkat-icon and -themes you want to use ?
Yes but it extracted to Ambiance-10.10
John76 you are also putting them in "downloads/themes"
not .themes
:/
 cp Ambiance-10.10 /home/dylan/.themes/ ikonia ?
John76:  -Rp
What
use the gui
ikonia, My taskbar is flashing and crashing all over the place.
what, in general or scince you changed the theme
Preference > Customize Look and Feel
not wha tI asked
oh
scince you changed the theme or in general
I thought you meant to type science
Since I clicked Apply
It's been buggy and crashing over and over in one second intervals
then change the theme back
I cant
The taskbar keeps crashing :/
remove the directory containing the theme
Okay it stopped crashing
it's 90% changed
but things like the 'start' button are old lubuntu and applets are different colors
if you log out and back in it should go back to how it was

can you confirm that by default ubuntu 12.04 doesn't have an ssh daemon listening, and that it must be installed?
as per http://www.liberiangeek.net/2012/03/enable-ssh-secure-shell-in-ubuntu-12-04-precise-pangolin/
yep
MaxFrames: yes, openssh-server is not instaled by default on the desktop version
MaxFrames: sudo apt-get install openssh-server
thanks
my only experience was with debian, so I just configured iptables to allow ssh, and was wondering why it wasn't working :D
MaxFrames: iptables is disabled by default
MaxFrames: so nothing you have to enable
why do i have glitching audio when using CPU with VLC or youtube?
actually whay I have found is that iptables is enabled by default, with ACCEPT on all chains
is there any way to avoid that?
hmm i wonder why i can only manage one nic
but that nic i can set it to 2 different mac addresses
so I just set it to deny by default, and then allowed what I need
MaxFrames: yes but it does not disallow something by default
can anybody help with network-manager on ubuntu 10.04 LTS for ARM arch? I have the problem, nm-applet drops any GSM connection using 2 different modems.
I also wantedI didn't say it did
to manage ubuntu from windows with rdp, so I installed xrdp, but I had to set the remote user to gnome-2d otherwise I got a blank desktop on windows
and compiz crashed on the ubuntu side (rare case of crash)
now it works rather smoothly though
I have to say that I am impressed by the performance gain of this old pentium d machine (1 gig ram) which was running xp before (it now dual boots)
ubuntu has given it new life
MaxFrames: you got the install disks for the xp?
not for this specific machine. I have a recovery partition. why?
MaxFrames: i was going to suggest you ran the xp virtualboxed on the ubuntu side 'seamless' if its not laggy then toss the xp partion and call it even, running xp on ubuntu seamless is a trip
I need dual boot. Thanks for the suggestion anyway
bbl, coffee time
Hi, I have just brought N56VZ and installed ubuntu 12.10  on it. however the Fn+ F5/F6 which control the screen brightness isn't working, can anyone show me the path to fix that?
of course, one would not want to get rid of the real OS on the machine
N56VZ: you cant control brightness at all or just with the fn keys?
when executing "gs myfile.ps" is there a way to get the file from stdin?
almoxarife, just the Fn
bencc: how do you mean?
bencc: do you mean like:  cat myfile.ps | gs -
ActionParsnip: yes that's almost what I need
ActionParsnip: I'm calling gs from erlang with os:command("gs ...")
ActionParsnip: so if I have the file data I can just do os:command("binary_data... | gs -") ?
N56VZ: that problem is specific to your model most likely, and alot of others too
almoxarife, ya i have done some searching but yet found a solution :<
N56VZ: dont fixate on the keys, better yet, look at this as a possible solution, i use it, 'redshift'
N56VZ: it sets brightness by time of day and location on earth, how cool is that?
almoxarife, sound cool yet i prefer it read the lux of the room from camera and set it periodically ;p
Hi there. i'm running ubuntu server 10.04 and I want to know the io usage by process per day, i know I can use Iotop for that but is there any tool that can sort after a day of monitoring the top io usage process?
N56VZ: that would also be very cool, dont know about an app existing though, it may very well already be out there
like 1- mongo: 43% 2- postgresql: 12% ....
bencc: not something I've used, sorry
nopz  better ask in #ubuntu-server
thank you
has anyone had avi files to play strangely in mediaplayer - having a coloured overlay that eventually clears until you skip forward and then it appears again and also jumping forward moving more in terms of time than it should?
i suspect a codec issue but have the windows codecs installed
devswap: does it affect all players?
actionparsnip: it does but does different things in each - one has audio and no video, one does as described above (colours) and the other has the skipping issue - basically not perfect in any - could be just the vid I guess but plays fine on a windows machine
devswap: have you tried switching video output method?
actionparsnip: no wouldnt know howto
is it like you used to do in the old days such as put a flag such as -o=v11
devswap: vlc has the option in preferences. Try a few. X11 is usually pretty solid
x11 thats what i meant :)
actionparsnip: dont think i have vlc installed - is that the best all round media player?
devswap: try a few, see if it gets better
Vlc is always a good start.
i'd say mplayer :)
Pretty quiet in a chat with so many users lol.
anti_: same in ot
how can i use ps to see the current % util of a process knowing its PID?
Hi
does anyone here use ubuntu in virtualbox - whats the best way to get usb keys to automount without powercycling a machine?
How do I FAT32 partition which I need to repartition
How do i do that?
As in recreate the filesystem
devswap: use mount in CLI may work. You will need the proprietary virtualbox for native usb access
LordThumper: use gparted
I typed that wrong..
ActionParsnip: Ok thanks
actionparsnip: I dont think mount will work as the usb is greyed out in the virtualbox interface - presume the host OS still has a lock on it. If you spefically add it before powering on the machine then it works from that point on but it seems daft to have to do that
andrea_: the man page is pretty useful
andrea_: ps -eo pid,pcpu | grep PID
It shouldn't be too much work to add it before powering up imo.
andrea_: I just read the man page, it's not something I ever had to do. Did you read the man page aty all?
devswap: I'd ask in #vbox
ActionParsnip: yes i did, but i didn't realize you could put pid, pcpu at once like you did, i just type only one at once
thank you for your help
andrea_: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1357654
andrea_: copied directly from the man page
ActionParsnip: sorry i am new to linux, i've never seen using commas on terminal commands
i didn't even know you could
http://freeengineer.org/learnUNIXin10minutes.html
andrea_: it's a list of columns you want to display
That will help you learn the basic commands for linux.
andrea_: if the man page says you can do it, its all good :)
gordonjcp, yes, however i see that you still have the PID in the outpud, can i use AWK to get rid of it, right?
andrea_: sure, pipe to    awk {'print $1'}
andrea_: or $2 if it's the second colomn etc
ActionParsnip: perfect, thank you. Sorry if i'm a newbie, you've helped me also in the past. I am thankful.
andrea_: no worries dude
ActionParsnip: gparted worked perfectly thanks :)
LordThumper: great little app
is the gimp the best graphics package to open and handle psd docs?

I cannot install wpa_supplicant by "apt-get install wpa_supplicant" I get this output http://paste.ubuntu.com/1357679/ can anyone tell me how I can fix it? I also typed "apt-get update" before the command
angs: what is the output of:  lsb_release -sc
ActionParsnip: lsb_release -sc
sorry precise
angs: it's not a package
ActionParsnip: I am following the instruction here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=263136 and I am typing the wpa_supplicant command and get this output http://paste.ubuntu.com/1357684/
do you know if I suppose to install something to use wpa_supplicant?
hi guys i got a question about 12.04 LTS 32bit and pae from what i read it automatic when it detects the architecture is this correct?
Evil_Eric: the kernel has PAE compiled into it so it is ued regardless
ued?
oh used
ok thank you Actionparsnip
next question will be about why ati and switchable graphics suck so bad on ubuntu or should i just start whinning bout xorg now
Evil_Eric: no, just ATI
switchable graphics is best avoided imho
you pretty much need NVidia, if you want 3D
you'd think 10 years on things would have improved on that score, but no
okinda hard to advoid it when thats what my lappy runs
Evil_Eric: could get an i7 with intel and no nvidia, it'll run fine
i use the fix from the forums but i was hoping that i dint have to anymore
<-----i7
intel/ati switchable
and to make matters worse HP
Evil_Eric: yeah its the extra chip causing the issue, there is a hybrid guide for ubuntu but I've not used it first hand
ive used it it works i was just hopping for new input
ive been only using the 64bit version of ubuntu for this laptop and wat worries about the ram this is why the original question was about pae
Evil_Eric: if your hardware supports 64-bit, just use 64-bit
yep hardware suports 64bit but most of software i use is still 32 bit so i wasnt seeing any real use out it exsept for the ram
been using 64bit here for ages. i cant think of the last time i had an issue that could be blamed on the '64bit ness' of my systems
Evil_Eric: your 32bit PAE kernel can access up to 64Gb RAM, but each process will see 3.2Gb RAM max
dr_willis: not now multiarch exists :)
i cant think of much software thats 3bit only these days
dr_willis: brother drivers are 32bit only
* dr_willis hammers his  2 key some more..
For what it's worth, Valve just released Steam for Linux (well beta) and it's 32-bit -_-
ive never had an issue with 64bitness just thinking logicaly if im not running 364 bit apps the what have a 64 bit os
hateball: there are a list of packages on omgubuntu to install (32bit deps) to make it run :)
omg the tons os lib 1i386 files
hi..I am having an issue regarding the installation of openCA..does anybody know what this is and can help me?
Evil_Eric: yes, same with skype :(
the 'biggest' issue ive seen with 3 vs 64bit these days is the silly '32 bit reccomended' line at the ubuntu download page. ;)
ActionParsnip: Yes, I've got it running. I was just saying, people still release 32-bit only stuff these days
hateball: makes sense, runs on both :)
dr_willis: this is the real reason im even trying 32bit
even better just run windows <----this is a joke please dont get 2 offended
i think im the only person that hasent tried setam yet..
on linux. ;)
i dont even know what setam is yet
Evil_Eric: it's "steam" when typed without coffee
i have ran steam via wine for ages.. but just dont game a lot
Hi, I need help with cups, I can't get the printers to show up in the web interface, you can see what I'm seeing here : http://imagebin.org/235810 also my cupsd.conf file looks like this: http://pastebin.com/efh64Ygk can anybody help?
lmao i KNOW steam!!!
dr_willis: not tried it either
dr_willis: only game I play (and rarely) is Urban Terror (availabble from PlayDeb)
you know i realy do not like wine to me on any machine ive used it on it seamed buggy
with all these humble bundels and stuff including linux native games. I dont think i will need steam on linux for w ehile.
Evil_Eric: depends on the app you are using in Wine really
Evil_Eric: Postal2 runs well
dr_willis, Indy games are awesome, but it's great to have multiplayer games to play with friends to : )
been playing that 'rochard' (?)  platformer.
ooooo postal 2 ='s love
so does urbanterror
<---mombot user
i dont think i ever finished  postal 1 ;) thats the one where you kill Gary coleman? ;)
yes
at the mall

gotta love the cat silencer :)

ok guys you have talked me out of using 32 bit ubuntu and its breaking day light here and my ubuntu coffee cup is empty
Have played some serious sam the last 2 days.. It's a awesome FPS game.. Looking forward to kicking some windows butt in TF2!
i have serious sam on steam
How to set 'statically' the screen resolution to get normal resolution even if the monitor is off when the OS is booting?
gotta love the first thing you do is rip and mosters eyeball out
marsfligth:  powered off or unplugged?
marsfligth:  you trying to vnc into a headless  box? or why is this an issue?
Hey guys.. I have a bit of a "network problem" with my ubuntu-server 12.04... When i manually set ip in /etc/network/interfaces it cant connect to the internet :/ .. local network is fine.. Here is all my configs etc: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1357726/     Problem is that it was working fine a few days ago.. just suddently it stopped working.. Any ideas?
Evil_Eric, indeed! My girlfriend and I played coop together last night.. She fell in love with the first act :)
thats awesome fyksen
fyksen  but offtopic in this channel
vooze: if you run:  echo "nameserver 8.8.8.8" | sudo tee -a /etc/resolv.conf > /dev/null
MoMo, sry! :)
Hi, I need help with cups, I can't get the printers to show up in the web interface, you can see what I'm seeing here : http://imagebin.org/235810 also my cupsd.conf file looks like this: http://pastebin.com/efh64Ygk can anybody help?
vooze: do you then get web access?
tell your gf i said she hasnt seen s--t yet  fyksen
Evil_Eric: Please refrain from swearing, whether obscured or not.
oh my bad
ActionParsnip: let me try, 2 secs :)
vooze: it works via DHCP as you are getting the name servers via DHCP too, you have not set your nameservers in the interfaces file, so there is no way to resolve web based names to IPs
well looks like its time for me to break out my usb stick and actually load ubuntu 12.04LTS
ill be back in a few
this is freenode right
vooze: should help add name servers in the interfaces file: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1836144
I tried to install ubuntu from the LiveUSB, but why the mouse does not work
Evil_Eric: yes, #ubuntu on irc.freenode.net

Hey people, I just created a new user using useradd -d /home/<user> -m <user> and now, in the new user I've lost all terminal functionality like history when pressing up and down, the path as I move along directories and also tab doesn't work and probably more that I didn't notice
How do I fix that?
ok ill join through xchat
dr_willis: Thanks for answering, I mean when I switch on the Computer after that has been switched off and unplugged from the power cord
hex20dec: the new user's history will build as you use it. Is there a .bash_history in the new user's $HOME
1 of these 4 usb drives will be the right one
hex20dec  type bash, as a command, i mean
ActionParsnip: no luck with the first thing.. trying to add dns server in interfaces now :)
are there any plans to make 12.04 install bootloader to UEFI system boot area? I had to use 12.10 on my brand new laptop because of this...
ok guys bbl
whats better for media and stuff 12.04 or 12.10
MonkeyDust: Hey, everything works when I type bash but then how do I make it startup as I start terminal?
Evil_Eric: id go with 12
10
oops.
ok
lmao
MonkeyDust: And why isn't directly like that as I create a new user?
Evil_Eric, Define "media and shit".
i was about to get on ya about just putting 12
newer media player apps ;-)
Woops. ment "media and stuff ofc"
dr_willis: I use a KVM for my pc's and when I restart one I have to stay still on the os the pc thats rebooting. If I go to another pc linked at kwm, when I'm back to the rebooted one I find a screen resolution like 800x600 or less
hex20dec  first thing on my mind: put it in .bashrc, but i'm sure there's a variable for it, don't know which, exactly
Evil_Eric: how do you mean 'media'? It's so ambiguous it's nearly meaningless
pictures movies more movies games emulaters phone calls and everything els i can think of
Evil_Eric: they are equal in that way
Evil_Eric, I would go with 12.10 to. You get the newest driver. A downside is that Steam official only support 12.04, but I run it without any problems @ 12.10 :)
marsfligth:  kvms are known to cause problems.   you may want to search askubuntu.com for kvm fixs. ivenever used one. the xrandr tools may be of use to you also
isn't your default terminal configured in /etc/passwd
hex20dec  type set|less <-- watch the first line
* Evil_Eric starts the ubuntu 12.10 64bit download 
.
ActionParsnip: that worked.. Thanks!
what do you guys think of the whole conacel asking for donations but seriously
"set is a shell builtin" MonkeyDust
conacel?
well the ubuntu web site and all
cannonical?
Evil_Eric, I like the idea, but I'm not fan of the donate before download way.. A site after you downloaded would be much better..
ok ok going to the offtopic chan
vooze: sweet, you are usising static IP, so no DHCP request is sent
vooze: the file only dictated the IP addressing but no name server
ActionParsnip: yeah I see, the weird thing is that it was working before :)
for like several months with no problems
hex20dec: because when you use "useradd" the user's shell is set to "sh" which points to dash instead of bash.  You should either change the user's shell using the usermod command (you may also want to copy the files from /etc/skel/ since that's what adduser would have done) or you can just delete this new user and create him again using "adduser" instead of "useradd"
vooze: without nameservers you cannot translate web names to IPs ;)
hex20dec: erm, chsh would also work instead of usermod
jrib: Will try usermod or chsh now.
hi
;)
hex20dec: ok, in the future though, just use adduser
Thanks.
why does useradd exist?
useradd is a very low-level basic program.
so the man page says
for an easier and more automated tool, try "adduser" instead.
i see, i got confused too
understandably, they're too similar in name.
jrib: Okay, so I entered: usermod -s bash <user> and opened a new terminal and still nothing.
jrib: Is this the correct command? Or do I have to relogin?
dr_willis: I'll ask on the site suggested, but I'd like underline that the behavior is the same as if I switch on the pc booting the OS keeping the monitor off
hex20dec: you need to login again
hex20dec: also, you should be giving full path to bash iirc...
jrib: I relogged in, and now I'm not even getting the $ that I was getting before in the terminal.
jrib: It's just a blank terminal.
hex20dec: also, you should be giving full path to bash iirc...
hex20dec: i.e. you should pass "/bin/bash", not "bash"
Please help Ubuntu 12.10  dont recognize my  ATI Radeon HD 3200 Graphics [ BT156GW01 ] graphics card on my laptop , What can i do to solve this ?
keeperZ: install the driver?
lolcat how do i do that
how do I get my wifi working? i have bcm4318. help.
Click the driver installation icon?
i do but nothing happens
what and where driver installation icon?
hex20dec: all ok now?
jrib, froze... =\ Restarting.
does ubuntu 12.10 support  ATI Radeon HD  graphics cards ?
hex20dec: at this point you're likely going to have to use your other user to make the changes
Yeah, I realized.
why does it only work with 12.04 and previous versions
hex20dec: using chsh is a little safer in that sense; it would warn you about not having a valid shell
keeperZ, join the club, I have been asking for that since 10.04
hex20dec: anyway, off to the gym
jrib: Thanks, enjoy your session.
welp
now you're stuck with me helping you
:D
is there a more simple program for wep cracking
than aircrack?
andrija, i prefer to call them up and ask nicely
call up who?
the owner of the wifi network
heh, I've just learned something new. turning your mouse wheel while on sound icon increases/decreases your sound :)
that's how craig of craig's list got my friend's password
oh..:D im trying on my own network
I installed 12.04 on my new laptop yesterday (Asus A53U) My wireless card is an Atheros AR9485. My wireless connection is very slow. Ihave it hooked through the ethernet to get a connection. I updated hoping it would help, but it didn't. Can someone help me with this?
hmmm gues i have to stick with 12.04 then . Dont know why ubuntu's new versions through away older driver support . What a shame on them
so you already have the phone number atleast :]
srsly ive heard there is some program that unified all airxx-ng commands
i thought everyone cracked wifi on backtrack...
andrija_: I'd ask in #backtrack-linux   they may know it
InFlames: there are a few distros that have tools like that, backtrack is far from something new
oh yea totally
everyone i knew who was leeching wifi used to use backtrack for all the tools included for that type of thing
you don't happen to know how i can fix an issue of Ubuntu being "dissatisfied" with my adobe air version do you?
InFlames: adobe air was dropped from linux AGES ago
but the awesome tool i use only supports air!!! :[
hi, how can I recover the network-manager indicator on the top panel/menubar?
bummer, even if air sucks
InFlames: http://www.osnews.com/story/24859/Adobe_Drop_Linux_Support_for_Adobe_AIR/    that's from Jun 2011
I am running an ubuntu machine in a VM - I was going to encrypt the home drive for extra protection but would this put much overhead on the machine interms of cpu as I am limited in cpu capacity with it being on a VM?
InFlames: what does the app do?
just another reminder of how adobe has abandoned me
it does really hand drawn looking mockups
i prefer it's hand drawn feel, because it allows the client to not picture the mockups as a completed product, but as a rough
believe it or not, the square edges really cause them to focus too much on the aesthetics
InFlames: http://www.tomshardware.com%2Fforum%2F238128-50-adobe-again-drops-flash-support-linux
damn, again?
just a bunch of teases...
InFlames: not hugely, just an asshat company
so you think that they dont give adobe cs support on linux because they have an agreement with windows and apple?
InFlames: I use chrome, they have their own flash in there which works well. No Adobe stuff
devswap: I doubt they have any 'agreement' its just the platforms they are choosing to support
i think google suffers from their own asshatery
asshattery*?
InFlames: omgubuntu has a page on it
well that's for the low down on my issue
sounds like it's a much bigger issue than i'd expected
but oh well, that happens
actionparsnip: I think for many designers if CS was available on linux it would take away lots of apple hardware sales and hence I always wonder if they have an agreement with adobe not to release it on linux
devswap: possible, but not confirmable ;)
dev, i think it's probably a fair amount of work to make it work on "linux" versus a few configurations for apple for millions of dollars
i say "linux" because it's like windows, millions of configurations, but it's missing those big dollar signs you get with windows
also, i don't know if adobe could milk it with the high prices they do either
but i am realizing that's all offtopic ;x
is Ubuntu for phones a standalone product, or will it be something intertwined with Android?
there is #ubuntu-android but there's only one dude in there
ActionParsnip: yeah, I saw that (viral) video about Ubuntu for phones
but before I always saw some sort of hybrids
the ubuntuone pricing is quite expensive isnt it
belgianguy: we had a similar discussion about it in #ubuntu-discuss some days ago
belgianguy: I'd post on the video page on youtube etc.
k1l_: and what was the conclusion?
belgianguy: that there is no information around about this issue
ActionParsnip: YouTube comments aren't regarded as highly on the IQ scale I'm afraid
devswap: i'd say so considering you can setup an SFTP server on your PC and port forward though the router. You can then access your data anywhere
k1l_: ah okay, too bad, was kinda waiting for Ubuntu "ads" in a way
as it's becoming so nice
(and always has been) :p
but the main site barely mentions the phone part, so the video overshoots its target, or points to something that the rest can't yet see
actionparsnip: well I agree but it isnt because of that - they do have to maintain a datacentre and security, backups etc. But with dropbox you get 100GB for the same cost as 60GB with ubuntuone
devswap: you can compare stuff like that in any purchasing situation
actionparsnip: I realise that but if they want ubuntuone to take off then shouldnt it compete equally if not be cheaper? I dont know for certain but I suspect that dropbox has better functionality also
How to set statically the screen resolution. If I switch on the pc with the monitor off and I switch on it after that the system has been full loaded, I get a resolution 800x600. If I do the same keeping on the monitor I get the normal resolution (1680x1050). How can instruct Ubuntu to use the normal resolution even if the screen is off? Thanks for reading
devswap: i dunno, the rhythmnbox plugin is pretty decent, but it should get cheaper over time I guess.
devswap: if they want ubuntuone to take off, they 1st should publish packages for different linux-distros
devswap: the competition in the 'cloud storage' is pretty intensive, with Google Drive, Dropbox, iCloud , SkyDrive, Box and Ubuntu One
llutz: is the client not opensourc?
ActionParsnip: it is but only ubuntu is packaged
belgianguy: yes and hence I think it should be cheaper not more expensive
there's a limit on how much storage they can offer, keeping the hw up to date, and also the number of people they can reach
Ubuntu isn't Apple, Microsoft or Google
while it's cross-platform, it probably doesn't appear on the radar of John/Jane Does
llutz: so other distros could package it ;)
ActionParsnip: if canonical will spread U1, its THEIR job to do it
I'm hoping that once Steam rolls out, Ubuntu dares to advertise itself in a more aggressive way
hi - i have unallowacted space right next to me linux partition but "resize/move" is greyed out - any ideas why?
i think that ubuntu-one-prizing and ubuntu4android topic would better suit into the #ubuntu-discuss oder #ubuntu-offtopic  channel, since that is no real techn. support issue.
k1l_: fine, I'll keep it to myself
Hello =)
i'm running ubuntu 12.04, with dual gigabit lan connected to a procurve 2650
How can i get bonding to work?
I am unable to install ubuntu 12.04 on my PC.... Its a dual-core 1.5 GB Ram Machine
llutz: i guess, but if distributions wanted their user base to use the service then they would need to compile something suitable for their distro
dhankher: what happens when you try?
It says failed to copy files ...
I tried multiple DVDs ..
dhankher: did you MD5 test the ISO you downloaded?
yes ... and I am also able to install other distros
but not ubntu
dhankher: did you burn the DVD as slowly as possible?
Yes
dhankher: If you have multiple optical drives, did you try the other drives?
dhankher: have you tried installing via USB?
Yes
No ... I have not tried that ..
dhankher: so the only error you get is the file copying?
Yes ... I am able to run the Live CD/DVD but can't install it
i'm running ubuntu 12.04, with dual gigabit lan connected to a procurve 2650
How can i get bonding to work?
dhankher: do you get web access in the liveCD?
yes
brantje: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBonding
dhankher: did you try updating ubiquity and gparted ?
no ...
dhankher: that's worth doing :), get the latest installer and partitioner, can help
ok .. i will try that .. thanks for your help :)
dhankher: no worries, you made it easier by doing the god stuff like MD5 testing :)
hi guys
what is the normal way of uninstalling Web-Apps btw?
without going to hidden .local folders
belgianguy: they are just packages
ActionParsnip: there's little info on how to remove them
belgianguy: the same way you uninstall everything else: via the package manager
belgianguy: same way you uninstall apps, use software centre
hi... anyone been able to install warsow on ubuntu 12.10? I try the playdeb but I get an error in software manager
well, they enter through a browser plugin, perhaps a small teeny bit could be added that they can be found/configured in the SC
belgianguy: when you select to enable them, it just makes your OS install some packages from the repos. SO uninstalling them is no different at all to removing any other application you can name
ActionParsnip: I'm in the Software centre atm, and I'm looking for both Reddit and Grooveshark webapps by using the search function
they don't show up (but are still installed)
belgianguy: in a terminal, run:  dpkg -l | grep groo      see what comes out
ActionParsnip: I know how to uninstall them through the terminal, it's just that it'd be nice if it could be done through a UI as well
belgianguy: search for:  groov   and mark the package for removal (so much slower imho)
ActionParsnip: I was thinking more of something to do with the web-app Unity icon, can't they add a "remove" right-screen menu?
that'd be intuitive and simple
also: ii  unity-webapps-grooveshark                     2.2                                        all          Unity Webapp for grooveshark
where would I mark the package for removal?
Synaptic?
heyo
which kernel supports cmov and cx8 less cpus?
and why does the minimal iso needs pae, cmov and cx8
?
thoonai: non pae kernels were dropped
Can anyone point me to where I can find the configure options for php5 (in repo) without having to install it and its dependencies?

Hi, i'm really new to ubuntu, just downloaded and installed 12.10. instalation was ok. now when i boot, only walpaper and mouse cursor apears! already searched forum, faqs etc. can someone help me?
Hi, I need help with cups, I can't get the printers to show up in the web interface, you can see what I'm seeing here : http://imagebin.org/235810 also my cupsd.conf file looks like this: http://pastebin.com/efh64Ygk can anybody help?
Mask, did you try to install drivers for the video card by chance?
jrib, Not really. chsh didn't work and neither did usermod.
k1l_: why?
hex20dec: what happened when you tried?  (and how did you try)
jrib: So at the end I deleted the user and added it with adduser
hex20dec: oh, ok
InFlames, as i told u im really new, i thought it would be part of the installation process. anyway, how can i install anything if i can't even use it?
Well, I tried chsh -s /bin/bash <user>
thoonai: so people can use 32bit OS on 64bit cpu with lots of ram
hex20dec: maybe you forgot to give the user a home when you created him with useradd?
jrib
MasKBoss, I am trying to maybe see if your problem is similar to mine, post install, can you explain what you did to cause it?
did it happen immediately after install?
thoonai: why? i did not take part in that decision. but most cpus got that pae nowadays. but i think there are some kernels for non_pae around.
haso: what video chip do you use?
k1l_: kay
jrib: I gave it a home, but the weird part is, after I used the usermod or chsh and tried logging in to that same user, the entire machine froze, everytime.
hex20dec: weird
jrib: I had to actually click the restart button on the tower.
=\
jrib: But thanks for your help.
Short question: When installing on a laptop with Intel Smart Response Techn. should I put grub on the (small) SSD or the HD, or rather how do I find out where the bios boots from?
thoonai: if you are interested in that issue you can take a look into the mailinglists. there was the announcement
MasKBoss: what video chip do you use?
jrib: How was the gym?
How can I do apply my default resolution (1680x1050) even if wile booting the screen is off? Actually if the monitor it set at 800x600. Thanks for reading
InFlames: yes immediatly! after installation, it asks to remove the CD, and reboot. after that, only walpaper and mouse cursor appears! tryed some more reboots, still the same..
hex20dec: great :)  Thanks for asking
=]
wow, MasKBoss, that is alot worse than my problem, atleast I was able to tell what caused it :/
ActionParsnip: well, it's from an old computer, i'm not quite sure, but i think it's an nvidia chip
someone more capable can probably help you
MasKBoss: does the system have a make and model?
MasKBoss: if you press CTRL+ALT+T do you get a terminal?
ActionParsnip it doesnt, i assembled the system
k1l_: but why does the kernel needs cmov and cx8? shouldnt be the minimal as compatible as possible?
ActionParsnip, yes! its the only thing i can do!
ActionParsnip, i saw it on a forum, asking to remove "xorg" or something...
MasKBoss: ok, run:  lspci | grep -i vga   what is output (summerize if you want)
thoonai: dont know. but the minimal isnt compatible as possible. its minimal as possible :)
ActionParsnip ok gimme a sec pls
k1l_: fooooooo
im going to offtopic for ranting
thoonai: if you don't have a PAE enabled CPU, install Lubuntu 32bit and you won't need PAE. The kernel in 12.04 Lubuntu isn't PAE requiring :)
ActionParsnip sorry for the delay. have to switch monitors and stuff.
quiet in here at the moment. am assuming no ubuntu problems. i guess that's a  good thing.
MasKBoss: np
ActionParsnip well it said something like this: VGA Compatible Controller [AMD] nee ATI RV280 [Radeon 9200 PRO ]
MasKBoss: cool, good enough. Use the terminal to get updated. It may help
MasKBoss: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade; sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
MasKBoss: then reboot and hopefully the updates will make things nice
i add some aliases to bashrc, i need to reboot to use it?
ciclone: source ~/.bashrc
ciclone: no, just run:  source ~/.bashrc
ActionParsnip ok tks, i'll give it a try. brb!
ah thank you :D
ciclone: Linux is made for uptime, reboot is rarely needed (but can make things easier)
masterofall, everything's solved, go to bed :D
ActionParsnip, thank you :D jrib thank you too :)
ubuntu for android question
if an adroid phone is running ubuntu, will that phone be able to recieve and make calls?
or i that ubuntu for android only for tablets?
hmm new aliases work but i add "agi" as "sudo apt-get install" but autocomplete for packages in this way doesn't work, is my fault or is normal?
(sorry for my english!)
ActionParsnip: didn't work! :(
everything run without an error. the last one "dist-upgrade" done nothing..
after reboot still the same.. just the mouse cursor and the wallpaper
hai guys how to add an icon to an application that have no icon by default ?

MasKBoss: then log off with:  killall -u $USER    and log in to the XFCE session
ActionParsnip how do i login to that?
Kartagis, where I want to save the.desktop file ?
MasKBoss: its an option in ubuntu icon near your username
ActionParsnip ok, tks once again. lets go!
rds_: for ststem wide.. same dir that gedit.desktop is in
mastershake - wow. that's different.  most typically want to go the other way around.. They both don't seem to cooexist well together so uninstall the one you don't want to use.
system wide..
rds_: /usr/share/applications seems a nice place
Does anyone now why my LACP rate is slow?
mastershake be sure you know how to manually setup your network connection though. just in case NM fails
have to shutdown the machine! see you later!
rds_: please, ask for he person's permission before pm

ActionParsnip it worked!!!
ActionParsnip now i have something... well i don't really know, but it doesn't seem like ubuntu... it seems sort of a security mode or something..
ActionParsnip is this the usual desktop? or am i supposed to do anything else?
MasKBoss  right mouse click for menu.. it's a configurable desktop like most all of them.. just lightweight and quick.
securitt mode?  ;)
Izinucs but it still has same features right? and when i reboot it will login to that?
dr_willis i just installed ubuntu for the first time.. i dunno anything of this :P
MasKBoss  sure.. it will run all the gnome programs, has it's own set of add-ons and configuration tools and will be there on reboot.
how can i switch
WICD to Network Manager
Izinucs ok tks
MasKBoss  xfce or xfce4 is the desktop used in Xubuntu..
mastershake: i thought you have to uninstall the one you dont want. then install the ither
ActionParsnip thank you so much!

there are also drivers / firmware in Ubuntu Software Center
I pity you and your slow Internet speed

My 12.04 Installation does not seem to load (or maybe even have) drivers for the ethernet controller or the wifi card.

However, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HardwareSupportComponentsWirelessNetworkCardsBroadcom this page states it should (bcm4312(4))
many of the entries have labels indicating what manufacturer or product name they work with - also there is a more information once you get into each entry
some times ya just gotta root around
babyswizz, software center has a search engine, just put in usb modem - that should get you going

yes it said not found..but now it says the package has been replaced
so it is now trying to build some kind of tarball
georgeph: try:  sudo apt-get install adobe-flashplugin
another way might be to use ubuntu software center and search for "flash" and install the adobe flash plugin
Using ubuntu with cups, I'm suddenly getting a "Remote host did not accept data file (1)" error on print jobs

Hello guys. I have a very annoying problem, and Googling haven't helped much. My Xorg dies (showing a SEGV in the Xorg.log file) whenever I try to log in with KDE. Log in with GNOME works.

fircx: if the 2 different video cards are supported, it should work easy enough... i would expect to have a custom xorg.conf
bizzone_marc: paste the entire output if you dont mind
they are for sure but I can't  see the third one
detect displays does nothing
holstein: that is the entire output
fircx: and how does arandr do?
holstein, I dunno I will try that right now good idea ...
good luck! gotta run...
holstein, okay thanks :)
nah same i only see two monitors
gonna reboot now ...
yeehi: do whatever you want with it? Do you have a support question?  Your message was truncated
is there a way to lock gnome-terminal to the scrolling thing on the left

Let's say the shotwell image viewer was resize to  640x480 , but if I open another photo it jump back to full screen.How do i set it not to get full screen or customize size .? Thanks :)
jrib..but it has icons that scroll down the screen
Hi, i have just broght an ASUS N56
Hi i need help installing ubuntu with the windows installer. I downloaded the instaler, and installed it, but nothing happened, I restarted the computer, and cant continue installing, how should i do?
i have a problem with evince, i see a pdf all blank with ubuntu 12.10. using preview of gmail works fine
hello again
jrib..right now i use the dash search to type in gnome terminal...but i would like to have button for it on the scrolling stuff on the left
Hi, i have just broght an ASUS N56VZ , and installed ubuntu. however the Fn+F5/F6 which control the brightness of the screen failed to work , anyone have idea how do i fix that ?
I tried with a new user, and the same thing happened. Again, I managed to click a few buttons at the most and then Poof! The desktop died on me
check asus support
Funny thing, while installing KDE, it also switched to LightDM, and if I use that one, the X-server dies as soon as I click on the password field
N56VZ: which graphics card does it have
Kart, GT650M
N56VZ: might not apply, but my asus eee requires boot option acpi_osi=Linux for brightness keys to work correctly
N56VZ: have you tried this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1958492
zykotick9, hmmm let me try that on next boot
georgeph: oh I understand your question now, but I don't know how that works
jrib..ok it is just too new..and i haven't had time to work with it yet
N56VZ: zykotick9's option looks legit as well .. try that first please before messing with xorg
N56VZ: see that ubuntuforum post - looks like my suggestion won't help, sorry
but at least the gnome-terminal is available and gcc seems to report ok for working on the kernle
kernel
Kart, zykotick9 , i did some search but yet to found a solid solution :<
< Installed CommodoreOS but can not log in :( so decided to install PinguyOS but it gave me the choice to dual boot :) I just made a bootup disk on my 8gb usb so I can try out Ultimate Edition 3.5 as it was too big for a DVD...  Slowly learning from trial and error :)

guys, where I must put SwitchToFile.py this SublimeText plugin https://gist.github.com/1399879 ??

mad-leigh: none of those distributions are supported here, just so you are aware
Hi guys, I'm having a problem using "kill" that I can't figure out. I have a process running. When the process is started using a shell-script I can't use kill -2 to kill it, though when I have started the process 'manually' (not using the script) then I can use kill -2. how come?
still learning how to use IRC, just watching mostly
where are the network profile's (backup wireless) saved too?
cheers
horte: does your user own the process?
I think so, the script is run as my default user (not with sudo).

I'm having trouble with trackpad configuration. I have two finger scroll enabled, and I have it so that two fingers on the mouse pad and a click is the same as a right click (macbook, so no right click actually). My problem is that if I have one finger on the track pad, then place another on it without moving the first, the page scrolls and I can't get what I'm trying to click on
mad-leigh: ubuntu is based on debian, but if you ask for ubuntu support in #debian you will be pointed here

how do I boot a ubuntu usb from a mac?
Yay! Solved!
georgeph, how is that on topic here?
beaky, just burn the iso to usb and set bios setting to first boot usb drive and restart computer
mad-leigh: why not use proper ubuntu?
well not sure but it may be doable on linux with opengl approach
how do I access the bios on a macbook pro?

ok bazhang...sorry
Basically, commenting out the Section "Files" that points the FontPath to the fontserver in xorg.conf fixed it.

hey all - can you still install plain old open office on Ubuntu?  i dont see it in the software center
u might try libreoffice
chucktewks...some of it is already installed on the 12.04 version....libreoffice...not openoffice
chucktewks, why not libreoffice?
BigCat, libre is installed but i need/want the database app that comes with open office
chucktewks, http://askubuntu.com/questions/116590/how-to-install-open-office
chucktewks, libreoffice also has the database ap
chucktewks: That database app is included in libreoffice too.
Abhijit, thanks
chucktewks: if you get the debs from the openoffice site then you cna install it
Abhijit, where is the db app - i cannot locate it (sorry to be such a noob!)
chucktewks: Maybe you have to install it :)
bekks, mebbe so :)
er ActionParsnip  slight problem i dont have that directory on my other hard drive do i need to be booted into that drive for it to show?[i have hidded files shown]
the guys at ##mac said that apple doesn't want me to boot ubuntu, is that true?
hmm

Hello, my track pad scrolls when I put to fingers on the trackpad (i.e. I place two on without moving them, but the page scrolls the distance proportional to their distance apart). How can I stop this?
keith_: does the system have a make and model?>
ActionParsnip: Ubuntu 12.04, MacBook 2,1 (late 2006 model)
Also, if I have one finger on the track pad, then I place another on, it also scrolls that distance. So when I move my mouse over a link, place another finger on the track pad in order to right click, the page scrolls and it makes right clicking difficult.
Thanks for your advice and tips everyone, have a nice night/day o/

Still no luck with triple monitor ...
lukecarrier: please stick in the topic, if you like to have a chit chat, please use one of the offtopic channels
anyone can tell me if evince in ubuntu 12.10 can show a pdf with image?
lukecarrier: you don't have to use Unity you know...
lukecarrier...well it seems to be working ok for now
ActionParsnip, thank goodness from the Ubuntu packagers working on Gnome packages <3
lukecarrier: Unity is a shell for Gnome, when you use Unity you are using Gnome
ActionParsnip: I'm following the directions on the page you linked for me, but I don't have an xorg.conf, only an xorg.conf.failsafe. Should I create it?
ActionParsnip: using rari?
keith_: if there is an xorg.conf file, it will be used
O_Comprido: do you mean raring (Ubuntu 13.04)?
ActionParsnip, yeah... pretty sure Canonical have little to no influence on the Shell project
here is my lspci the system can see both video cards http://paste.ubuntu.com/1358321/
ActionParsnip: yes raring, im asking beccause i upgrade i got this http://paste.ubuntu.com/1358106
ok, if you try out different DEs, how do you delete an unwanted DE and make it take all of its apps etc with it
O_Comprido: yes, but raring isn't supported here
but i cant see the monitor attached to it
O_Comprido, #ubuntu+1 for that
judging by their hilarious show of incompetence around the lovely Unity project.... I'd say it's more than positive

using evince

What is it with Americans workers getting mad at other countries... The US just isn't competitive anymore, stop crying about it and go to school.
sabayonuser: My guess would be that you installed it on the USB drive incorrectly.

O_Comprido, this is not the channel for Raring
the "dosn't work" part is at the bottom of the paste. the user can not sudo. oddly, if I add the user directly (not a group, but a user) to the sudoers file it works fine.
bazhang: java continues being the same as in quantal
O_Comprido, dont crosspost here on Raring issues
tsaavik: run groups before running that sudo command
bazhang: so enabling java for firefox in raring its the same for quantal
jrib: sorry, I don't understand. I ran groups before the sudo in the pastebin, showing that its in admin and sudo groups
tsaavik: you ran groups as root
tsaavik: it could be that in the login you have for str, his group memberships are not yet effective
when i run 'groups str' I get the same output as root, BUT when i run 'groups' i only get the user group "str"
tsaavik: you need to login again
O_Comprido: Raris not even close to being stable. We do not support Raring in #ubuntu.

do i need to kill all my existing logons? because i shut my ssh session down and re-connected, but i'm sudo'd in another

hi. successfully installed xubuntu on this computer (without keeping windows :)), sound issue: when I'm not running a 3D app, an high pitched sound is constantly played
Since I've installed 12.04, my wifi connections keeps disconnected sporadically, bringing down my entire network for a few minutes at a time
some suggested me to disable microphone, but I can't do that since I'm using it

jrib: yup, groups shows all the groups now
dammit
thanks jrib

hi  , I need a bit of help . Ubuntu default photo view is called "Shotwell Image Viewer" . How do I set it to remember photo size for every photo ? Let's say the shotwell image viewer was resize to  640x480 , but if I open another photo it jump back to full screen.How do i set it not to get full screen or customize size .? Thanks :)
hehe, he did huh. ugh. I was so paranoid to lose root on the machine I never killed my initial connection
mneptok: nope. I'm using headphones + microphone, I had no issues on windows (probably because of the way it renders the desktop)
if I remove my headphones I can still hear the sound when being near the computer...
time to turn off ControlMaster in sshd, thanks again
but when I'm running a 3D app that has its FPS < 200 (too high causes the sound again), the sound is less noticable (but it can still be heard, lower-pitched, sounds like a chainsaw, but very quiet)
nbubuntu: you want to define a geometry size for shotwell to always open with it?
Calinou: do the speakers make the noise, or just the 'phones?
tsaavik: yeah I had that on for about a day before I came across some issue...
jrib: yes :)
Calinou: could be a loose or broken headphone connection.
mneptok: haven't tried speakers (i only have integrated speakers on my screen, desktop computer here)
 /j mercenaries
salut les masters!
mneptok: unlikely, else that wouldn't happen when the graphics card is not being used (at least on windows)
paco1: #ubuntu-fr
hello!
Calinou: try another set of 'phones?
mneptok: i'm 100% sure they are not broken. if i plug them on my netbook which runs xubuntu too, they work just fine
Calinou: then it may be the physical connector, or something software related. try a Live session of another DE and/or distro. see if the problem persists.
this also happens on the live USB of xubuntu and lubuntu. i bet it will happen with any linux distro
this seems to be related to graphics
whenever I'm running a 3D app with high FPS the sound is high pitched. lower FPS = lower pitched, more chainsaw-like
(both nouveau and nvidia driver do that)
Calinou: loose or broken speaker connector getting varying amounts of power.
Calinou: if you unplug the headphones and speakers, do you still hear it?
yes
the computer itself plays the sound..
anyone have any ideas as to how MY OWN wifi connection is causing network-wide disconnects?
i'm creating a package for myself, and i have a question: how to create user during packaging?
have you tried momentarily stopping the fan on the video card
thanks!
tsaavik: it's not the GPU fan...
definitely not
Okay, then I think i know exactly what your talking about
some people are able to hear the pwm through an inductor when the varnish on the inductor has started to fail. This could be an indicator of other issues (why did the varnish fail, did it overheat)
paco1: #ubuntu-packaging or #ubuntu-motu may be more helpful with packaging issues
Hello. How are you? I need hepl
Calinou: hunt around and see if you can pin the noise to your powersupply (likely culprit), otherwise you might be looking at a slowly dieing videocard :(

tsaavik: this issue happens since always (my computer is 9 months old)
it can, whenever i hear it i return the item
maybe i should try to plug stuff again, yes
i'll look into it later

Hello. Using truecrypt I created a encrypted partition - and it's working fine. My question is when I delete something from that partition do I need to use a program such as 'shred'  or 'secure-delete' or can I just delete a file (or whatever) since it's encrypted?
jrib: http://pastebin.com/Sj51c4Qd. I have nvidia
gmachine_24, when you rm a file it is not decrypted first, it is safe
How do I find the installation folder of Firefox in Ubuntu?
Guest27757, OK, thanks. That's what I figured but I wanted a second opinion.
I read some articles, none were helpful.
Nibinaear: why do you want to know?
gmachine_24, np, always good to ask :-)
jrib, I need to port my Firefox and Thunderbird installs from windows 7
jrib: http://pastebin.com/NgbnbYfT
omerozkan: I don't know why you have that error.  If you aren't opposed, you could see if you have better luck with nvidia's drivers instead of nouveau
Nibinaear: port what exactly?  Bookmarks and such?
jrib: thanks :)
jrib: Everything, whole profile.
jrib: !nvidia?
Nibinaear: the profiles are in ~/.mozilla/firefox/
The instructions say to copy the profile folder out from windows, that's done. But now I have to find the FF install folder in Ubuntu, it just says:
omerozkan: that just has the bot send you information
~/.thunderbird/<Profile name>/ <--not very helpful to newbies.
Nibinaear: ~ means your home directory (usually /home/username).  Directories that start with a '.' will be hidden by default, so you'll have to show hidden files
I'm looking for help with a lvm. I'm getting a few error msgs. Anyone here with experience? the #lvm channel seems to be quiet.
Doesn't firefox have a profile importer wizard that prompts you when it first fires up?
LifeIsGood169: pastebin the error messages *verbatim*
jrib: Thanks will have a look.
gordonjcp: rgr
hola
Does anyone know if Ubuntu runs well on a mac book pro 2010?
gordonjcp: http://paste.kde.org/606686/
That page confuses me though. Generally does Ubuntu run well on newer mac book pros?
wifioregon: should work fine on something from 2010
gordonjcp: different error... looks like I messed up, but I used to get a failed to find device UID or something.
wifioregon: linus runs linux on a macbook pro iirc
jrib: huh, showoff ;-)
wifioregon: I'm running 12.10 quite successfully on a Macbook 3,1
macbook 4,1 here
ie. Late 2007, Core 2 2.2GHz 3GB
works just lovely
dual-boots and everything
i was wrong linus uses a macbook air
+1 would buy again
dual-boots linux and linux? ;)
gordonjcp: only thing I hate is that it tries to slice my wrists...
;D
jrib: I haven't found that, but unless I sit properly with my wrists up I keep randomly selecting and dragging stuff
with hilarious consequences
gordonjcp: yeah, I had to use synclient to disable clicking when I'm typing (and I disabled focus-follows-mouse)
jrib:  This is a mac book pro 2010.  Do you think the newest Ubuntu would work? I hate mac os x and want to use Linux
jrib: yeah
gordonjcp: this is more like the error.... http://paste.kde.org/606692/  perhaps I'm forgetting steps?
wifioregon: it should.  Try a live cd and see what happens
jrib: I need to figure out how to get synclient to start on boot
wifioregon: then buy a laptop (non mac) and save yourself a packet
jrib: rather than sticking it in bashrc
jrib:  I have live USB's do yo know how to boot to one on a mac?
gordonjcp: just use Startup Programs
ActionParsnip:  I just bought this mac book pro from a very desperate friend
jrib: I'll look into that
wifioregon: I don't know
wifioregon: make it dual-boot, and keep OSX around
gordonjcp:  k
wifioregon: yeah I keep OS X around on a small partition so I can grab firmware updates from apple
wolfmitchell: ahh I see
hi folks - is it possible to install a .deb manually with apt-get?  something i've downloaded
wifioregon: it's not like it costs you anything to do, and it's useful to have
chucktewks: use dpkg not apt-get
chucktewks: use dpkg or gdebi -- make sure it's meant for your ubuntu version
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DualBoot/MacOSX
thanks
chucktewks: sudo dpkg -i /path/to/filename.deb
chucktewks: you may need to run:  sudo apt-get -f install     to satisfy deps
Hello
I've just installed Ubuntu 12.10, and I'm not quite satisfied. It appears a lot laggier, and I can't find a way to install the graphics driver.
Hello all!
Hello MDTechus_MAN :P
sevenforall:  did you try going to 'Addition Drivers'? Also you can change the interface. I'm a big fan of gnome-classic personally
sevenforall: hardware drivers was move to software sources I think (it's a tab in there)
sevenforall:  to change interface, open terminal and type: sudo apt-get install gnome-shell
hey, i'm on 10.04LTS and i was wondering if someone could point me to how I can remove the gazillion old kernels that are appearing in my boot screen / grub
sevenforall:  and then logout and next to your usernaVe is a little round button. Click that and select Gnome Classic
wifioregon: Well, I'm not, so I'm just going to stick with unity ;)
NoiseEee: just remove the appropriate linux-image package
sevenforall:  ah ok
wifioregon: I'm not new to Ubuntu or Unity/Gnome3, hehe
I know what's up
NoiseEee: (make sure you do not remove ALL of your kernels)
from software centre, jrib?
jrib: You're right, thanks!
NoiseEee: yep, you should be able to do it from there
ty jrib
I don't want to ruin Canonical's business model, but is there a way to remove those album suggestions while searching for software? I don't mind the suggestions themselves, I just think they are horribly ugly in the dash
Same for software basically, when I search for software, I don't want to get suggestions, I just want to see what's installed
jrib: Thanks once more
sevenforall: not sure about the software installation.  Maybe synaptic will suit you better?  Or just use the command line
jrib: Well I'm more referring to the search in the unity dash
sevenforall: ah
don't know :)
jrib: I'm still going to thank you
Hello all, I am having trouble installing Ubuntu Desktop on my 1KWatt server, which uses RAID 0
please help
1KWatt server, bloody feces. Anyway, what kind of trouble are you experiencing?
MDTechus_MAN: can you give some details please
sorry, the install doesn't see the RAID
MDTechus_MAN: if you run:  sudo fdisk -l     do you see drives and partitions?
one sec... let me check
im here
having trouble booting it
isn't turning the monitor on
ciao a tutti
?
:
:?
I disconnected and purged Ubuntu One from my system, but my files and folders still display check marks or syncing symbols and I get notifications that files are being synced.
just a hardware question: is it posible that the video card will not work if there isn't enough power?
MDTechus_MAN: yes
ok
MDTechus_MAN: correction, if you're talking desktop then yes, on laptop no
I'm talkin' 1KWatt server
I am trying to set up a bootp server but am not sure I have done it right
wireshark see the requests from my device but the bootp server never sends anything back
MDTechus_MAN: then yes, if there's not enough power for the GPU then the GPU can fail to start
gettin' a extention cord....
can i grep just the PID of a process using ps ?
andrea_: maybe you want pgrep... what are you trying to accomplish?
jrib: i think i did it with  ps ax | grep <process_name> | awk {'print $1'}
andrea_: why not just use pgrep?  But I am curious why are you doing this at all
I disconnected and purged Ubuntu One from my system, but my files and folders still display check marks or syncing symbols and I get notifications that files are being synced.
jrib: lol that was trivial. Sorry, i'm kinda new to linux, i didn't know pgrep yet :S
andrea_: so what are you going to do with the PID now?
ok ran a extention cord to anothe plug that's from another breaker
aw fu** still aint' working!
jrib: i need to compile a script to kill a process if a threshold of cpu time is hit
andrea_: hmm
andrea_: do you know about limits.conf?
andrea_: oh but I guess that's user-wise
jrib: what do you mean?
anyone know why a 1KWatt server's GPU might not turn on?
VERY unlickly that it's a power problem
please help w/ wifi. It only works at home. At McDonalds the wicd gui says it can't find a network. But here is what iwlist scan sees: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1358410 And here is wicd log from the same session: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1358412 12.04 did this, so I upgraded to Quantal, but same thing.
hhem help still needed
please tell that my HDD contains bad sector or not ? http://paste.ubuntu.com/1358597/
looks fine to me
jennie:
yes
?
jrib: the problem i have is that due to a bug of some sort, there is a gnome process that randomly causes heavy writes to SSD, and i've noticed that this proces is idling the most part of the time, but when it starts with this strange behavior, the CPU rises to 20-30%. Since i don't want my SSD to get loaded of random and useless wirtes, i would need to kill it before it starts writing 40 GB of data as already happened
jennie: It looks like no testing was actually done. Impossible to say whether it is good or bad.
andrea_: I see
why no testing was done ? I saw the testing progressing
jennie: Then perhaps I am just looking at it incorrectly, so you would be fine.
is that badblocks reliable for testing for bad sectors
jrib: i don't know if this bug have been already acknowledged, i found something very similar to fedora but now i'm using 12.10. I will make this script to increase a value on a txt file if it gets triggered, so i will know if this bug happened again.
Hello, I'm having trouble running the Xubuntu live CD, I believe it's the computer itself having problems, I stall at loading bootlogo and get an error code after awhile saying "EDD: Error 8000 reading sector 351840"

recently installed 12.10 on my Zenbook Prime UX31A, and it's giving me a problem: USB flash drives are not showing up. they don't light up, and dmesg and lsusb don't even acknowledge that anything was plugged in.
tried googling, came up dry
hi guys
hi+
here's the screwy thing though, if I plug a USB drive in and reboot, the drive shows up and mounts correctly then. if I disconnect the drive and try to reconnect, it again doesn't show up
I cannot select text on ubuntu 12.04 with a touchpad
I disconnected and purged Ubuntu One from my system, but my files and folders still display check marks or syncing symbols and I get notifications that files are being synced.
SamIAm: what package did you purge?  (Note: I have no idea how ubuntu one works but am bored and have seen your question several times :))
SamIAm: It may be worth asking that in #ubuntuone (I'm pretty sure thats the main support channel for Ubuntu One)
jrib, I purged ubuntu-one. DJones, I'll ask there too
SamIAm: what ubuntu version?
jrib, 12.10
SamIAm: I don't see any "ubuntu-one" package
jrib, it may have been ubuntuone. In any case, I tried both and neither appeared on my system
 ubuntuone-client, ubuntuone-client-gnome   jrib
okay, on further testing, apparently no USB devices of any kind are working when I plug them in after boot
any guide somewhere for painlessy upgrading from ubuntu jaunty?
Sonderblade: J -> K -> L -> P
Sonderblade: I'm not sure that can be done painlessly though
jrib: well i want to jump some steps
Sonderblade: you are jumping the MNO
id be amazed if upgradeing that much worked.. and it will take some time
yeah, fresh install would likely be faster even if you don't yet have backups in place
is there some reason why my USB ports would suddenly stop working? They seemed to be working fine on first install, but now they won't recognize anything plugged in after boot
How can I add a VHD to boot in grub? A GUI way?
when installing h264enc its also requiring mencoder, why did anyone made this?
O_Comprido: if you want to create mp4 files, i'd highly recommend install handbrake (not in default repo)
zykotick9: i dont have that repo
Hello! I recently installed Ubuntu but I have no ethernet on it, only WiFI. How can I fix this?
hej guys, I'm trying to get this wireless usb device to work...anyone know if there are native drivers for it ...linksys ae2500
O_Comprido: then add it?
[jasper]: try plugging it in and running "lsusb" to find teh actual chipset.  linksys isn't helpful.
hi

WhereIsMySpoon: i dont know what repo is
ohai

O_Comprido, WhereIsMySpoon: that page is fairly outdated
can anyone help me install a snes emulator please? :(
Bier_: sudo apt-get install zsnes
jrib: how? you still edit sources.list then apt-get update
WhereIsMySpoon: well !repos will have better information.  It will also include gui instructions. Some may assume that they should add hardy sources to their sources.list because of that blog page
jrib: i get:  E: Package 'zsnes' has no installation candidate
jrib: ok, i dont know all teh ! commands :)
Need help, someone? About install something.
i heard it's because i have 64bit
Bier_: what ubuntu version?
12
KanzakiOKB: Yea, I can't boot ubuntu from USB on my Thinkpad W510
Bier_: 12.?
Bier_: 12.10 or 12.04?
10
Bier_: well you can use multi-arch
jrib: What is multi-arch?
"
Multiarch is the term being used to refer to the capability of a system to install and run applications of multiple different binary targets on the same system. For example running a i386-linux-gnu application on an amd64-linux-gnu system. "
Shure: let's you use other architectures.  For example, you can install i386 packages on amd64
KanzakiOKB: What game? Is it for Linux or for Windows?
sudo apt-get install multi-arch?
Hola, something went wrong, I, me, need help, not proposing, sorry for misunderstunding Shure.
_Marcus, stair dismount, on linux.
Does anyone know how I can check if wake-on-lan is enabled in BIOS using dmidecode or some other command line tool?
Bier_: you can do: sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386
http://www.whatistheitu.org/
I need some lvm help.
kriskropd: I'd check:  man dmidecode
I can't boot the Ubuntu install from USB with my Lenovo Thinkpad W510. I can't get a real shell, it stops at the bootloader? It says something about that the Kernel is not a real 32 kernel.
I do have a command prompt,
but not a linux one
rather a bootloader one?
not even the help command is understood
$10 says 'Shure' is from rpi
jrib: i did that and it gave no message, and i still cant install zsnes
ActionParsnip: yeah... i'm looking at that and it has some keyword options but none of them are for wake on lan, that's why im asking here :)
LifeIsGood169: rpi? RasperriPie? nope.
do i have to do that after every install?
How can I add a VHD to boot in grub? A GUI way?
Bier_: no
sure: neither? guess I lost $10 on that one.
ok
shure: neither? guess I lost $10 on that one.
Bier_: apt-get update just refreshes your package cache (information about packages that are available) with the servers
seems to be working!
Bier_: like magic...
installing now
it is magic
LifeIsGood169: I don't even own a RasPi.. why did you guess so?
LifeIsGood169: I clearly stated that I can't but my Thinkpad W510 ;)
shure: I didn't guess raspi anything xD :p only rpi
shure: bad guess nvm.
LifeIsGood169: Troy, NY?
shure: yah it was a bad guess... w510 vs w500 xD
I'm having trouble installing ubuntu alongside windows. I'm using a pendrive made with the linux pendrive tool, the installation stalls at a point where it tries to mount the cd drive and fails. I know I have the correct version of Ubuntu, and the iso checked good on md5

hello all!  how would you go about grabbing the conf file that comes with nginx package without re-installing?
v0lksman: do you really want to just grab it?
jrib: yeah I just want to see it's contents
v0lksman: you could just do apt-get source PACKAGE
v0lksman: unless the package does something weird where it generates the package after install...
s/package/conf file
jrib: nope..that did the trick!  thanks!
jrib: THANKS :D it's installed! i was trying for hours last time and you fixed it so fast :)
v0lksman: no problem
Bier_: no problem, enjoy playing donkey kong
thats exactly the game im going to play
Bier_: there was a big snow storm right after I got that game.  My cousins and I were basically snowed-in and all we did was play that game :)
please how do i know if am to install quantal or raring packages on my ubuntu 12.10
babyswizz: did you change your repositories?  Because 12.10 is quantal
jrib, no i didnt
babyswizz: then you should be installing quantal packages...
babyswizz  then always choose quantal for 12.10
jrib would it be advisable to change it?
babyswizz: definitely not
hi, im using ubuntu 10.10 Can i install gtk3 so i can use the latest themes but don't upgrade to gnome 3?
newb: 10.10 isnt supported anymore.
newb: no, we don't support 10.10 anymore
jrib thanks
dpkg --compare-versions isnt able to compare these strings "+ppa1"  and   "~ppa1",  how can i get a comparation?
so gtk3 itsnt in the repos?
i have some troll on my channel saying that ubuntu runs as root  like puppy linux. could one of the ops here pleeease say other wis. he is getting awful
for 10.10 i mean
i just hate unity and gnome3
newb: 10.10 isnt supported anymore. :)
simplew: probably better to ask in #ubuntu-packaging or #ubuntu-motu
newb: there are other options: xfce, lxde, kde, enlightenment
newb  i don't like unity, so i don't use it, it's easy to install something else
my USB ports don't seem to be recognizing new devices plugged in after boot in 12.10. Is there some way to fix this?
ubuntu does not run default as a root user does it? this guy is sure of himself he has me confused- cause you guys do keep changing things
haylo: no, root is disabled by default
thanks auronandace
...anyone? I'd really rather not nuke my install if possible
hi
running 12.10 AMD64 on an Asus Zenbook Prime UX31A, if that helps
jrib can you please tell me the difference between quantal and quantal update
anyone know if "Allow live TV to move scheduled shows" is not working ?
Halbyrd, does lsusb show the devices ?
no
lsusb and dmesg both come up blank
devices aren't powering on either
tried five different flash drives and two mice
sorry wrong channel
I checked in the BIOS, EHCI and XHCI root hubs are enabled
and it's only for USB devices that are plugged in after boot. anything plugged in as I power the system on gets recognized and works as it should
can you please tell me the difference between quantal and quantal update
babyswizz: in what context?
Halbyrd: not sure on the state of usb3 in the 3.5 kernel
should I be upgrading to 3.7 then?
auronandace, when downloading and installing packages on ubuntu 12.10
jrib: can a fresh install preserve my files in my home dir?
Halbyrd: i'd hazard a guess that the more recent kernel would have better support but unfortunately using any other kernels means we can't support you here
i want to install ubuntu from a hard disk image and without losing files in /home
do it
can you please tell me the difference between quantal and quantal update
well, I'll try upgrading the kernel. worst comes to, I can just reinstall; all my critical files are backed up elsewhere
Halbyrd: good
Sonderblade: sure, you just tell the installer not to format /home
hello
i have xubuntu. I want to isntall microsoft office 2010, because all my docs are messed up. Anyhow i understood that i have to install wine and get it to work on that. My problem is how will i then be able to install addons to office 2010, like let's say Equation 3.0 (an MS office addon)
Ionela873123: easiest way to deal with that is to install MSOffice in ints native environment - windows - my advice would be : vmware - windows - ms office
you would still need a valid license of ms windows
jrib: great! then my next problem is only that i do not want to burn a cd
Ionela873123: otherwise you'll be hacking wine/office all the times ;) this is my personal experience

better.
_DanN_: So how do I work out where this is installed?
seru, what device is your usb disk? /dev/sdc maybe?
Nibinaear: I assume you're in terminal ? if so then run it as: "/SoulseekQt-11-7-2012-64bit"
cookie1980: good question. would lsusb tell me?
seru, sudo fdisk -l
cookie1980: i have 2 external hd's btw
Nibinaear: no idea how to put it in menu ;) I'm not using these fancy x-windows managers
seru, mkdir /media/usb1; mkdir /media/usb2
_DanN_: Ok, it worked, thanks.
Nibinaear: you're welcome
cookie1980: /dev/sdc1 and /dev/sdc2
Fresh install of Ubuntu 12.10, alongside Windows Vista and I'm experiencing major problems.. I don't have a launcher or dash of any sort, and I can't access half of the stuff I should be able to.. it seems as if only half of the functionality part of the OS actually installed.
seru, this means that you have 2 partitions on one device, is that correct?
Chain_:  what video chipser
chipset
cookie1980: mkdirs done. 3 total parts, 2HDs
Chain_: chain what's wrong?
Chain_:you've already answered on you're question. reinstall the system
Deivid: Just ended up installing flash 11.2 manually in google-chrome :)
so now it works
seru mount /dev/sdc1 /media/usb1
seru sudo mount /dev/sdc1 /media/usb1
cookie1980: other is /dev/sdb1
seru sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /media/usb2
I've already reinstalled.  Um.. Radeon something if that's what you're asking dr_willis
what are we trying to do here exactly?
glad to hear that vooze
dr_willis: ATI RS690M Radeon X1200
Chain_:  if the default drivers dont work you may need to install the fglrx drivers. unity needs 3d support for full effects and may not work well without them. as a temp fix. you could install the 'lubuntu-desktop'  package viiia 'sudo apt-get install lubuntu-desktop' from a console to get a nice light simpiler desktop
dr_willis:  Thanks, I'll give it a go.
Chain_:  then try to get your drivers going. i dont use ati stuff so cant advise more on that
or you may like lubuntu ;)
openbox is as light as it comes ;P
If I leave it as lubuntu, would I still need to try to find the solution to whatever my problem with my drivers is?
Hi everyone! Some of you had experience with Ubuntu and a MacBook late 2006? I have some problems with the battery...
Chain_: yes.
Hello how are you? I need help :(
what is required to run ubuntu 12.04/12.10 on Macbook pro mid 2012?
blackness: while i get your point, openbox certainly isn't the lightest wm ;)  even it's predecessor fluxbox is lighter.
hi all
Ciao!
Hi, can someone tell me, why the netatalk package on 12.04 has been compiled without the "ACL" feature? And is there an alternate package repository that might provide a more current and feature complete version?
I just installed the new nvidia drivers on ubuntu 12.10 and now my nvidia card is not being recognised, what can I do now?
I'm running 64 bit 12.04 and youtube (flash) videos tend to start playing audio long before the video appears. The box is a quad xeon with 24 gigs of ram so the hardware shouldn't be an issue.
mrdavid: flash has been discontinued on ubuntu afaik
* OpenSorce stomps foot
smoochict: I still receive flash updates
mrdavid: hmm, adobe flash website tells me its discontinued on linux os's
I'm trying to setup a machine with Ubuntu as a media center but it's hard to do when the screen keeps blacking out ever 10 minutes. I've disabled the screensaver and commented out the DPMS line in xorg.conf. Do I really have to remove apci to make it stop?
smoochict: this is what I'm using: flashplugin-installer 11.2.202.251ubuntu0.12.04.1
I have a problem with resolution.
jrib, one sec
jrib, it still says DPMS is enabled
OpenSorce: well there you go I guess
jrib, okay... so how do I disable it then?
OpenSorce: you can manipulate those settings with xset dpms X Y Z    (you probably want to make X=Y=Z=0)
jrib, thanks. Now will this be a permanent change or will I need to do this next reboot?
I have a problem with resolution, I'm running Ubuntu version 12.10 I cannot change resolution of my screen to best resolution.
OpenSorce: not permanent
omerozkan: is this on a virtual machine? or real computer
jrib: would xset -dpms work too for OpenSorce ?
smoochict: real computer of course
omerozkan: what video card are you using?  in terminal, "lspci | grep -i vga" if you aren't sure.
whats this ------Queued joins:
guntbert: yeah, guntbert's suggestion should also work OpenSorce
zykotick9: "01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation G98 [GeForce 9300M GS] (rev a1)
" here is the output
OpenSorce: you can just put it in Startup Applications, that's probably easiest.  Or drop it in ~/.xprofile
guntbert, jrib I just discovered that. Yes it works... now to test it. Thanks guys
jrib, would putting it in rc.local make it system wide?
OpenSorce: no, it would just fail (you need to be in X)
omerozkan: have you using the driver-thing to install the recommended nvidia driver?  if so, use nvidia-settings to change the resolution.
omerozkan, I have the same problem at the moment
OpenSorce: these settings are probably exposed in the gui somewhere too.  Probably something like power management settings
jrib, derp I knew that
jrib, yeah I've disabled it in every way I can find
zykotick9, nvidia settings doesn't recognise the card
jrib: What you suggested was definitely part of my problem, I got it uninstalled and installed from a CD.
OpenSorce: if you really need to do it for multiple users, you can do it xorg.conf (or whatever nice way there is to configure X nowadays (wiki.ubuntu.com/X))
i've heard rumors that ubuntu 12.10/13.04 won't fit on a 700MB CD, are these rumours correct?
Chain: cool
pr0ph3t: ah.  that's a problem for sure!  sorry, i got no suggestions for that (newest drivers?)
zykotick9: I use open source driver not recomended, I cannot change by Displays
smoochict: yes
jrib, already done. I commented out the DPMS line it still does it
smoochict: well you can go see the size of the 12.10 isos
Or do I ha/
more interested in 13.04, but thanks for the info
OpenSorce: but you didn't explicitly set it to no
jrib, of course since this is a media center box there will really only be one user most of the time.
omerozkan: good for you.  i had one card that supported nouveau 3d, i was disappointed with the results at the time.  best of luck then.
#    Option         "DPMS"
jrib, so uncomment that and put "off" after it?
OpenSorce: yeah
jrib, will do. Thanks again :-)
zykotick9: I have tried recommended nvidia driver but gnome3.5 does not work and I had the same resolution problem.
i've just upgraded to 12.04 and when i try to mount a cifs share, i get the following error:
mount error(79): Can not access a needed shared library
this only happens if i specify iocharset (which i have to)
omerozkan: sorry your hardware is just too new for my knowledge ;)  sorry man, i got nothin'.  good luck.
zykotick9: thanks. new? I bought this computer three years ago :)
Hi all! My top output is truncating when I use "top -c -b". This is happening under Xen VM (DomU). When I change stty -columns 256, it is working, but now there are so many empty characters put at the end of each line. When I ssh everything seems fine though. Any suggestions?
omerozkan: i'm not familiar with the G98 type naming, but i see it has the more familiar 9300 after that.  my bad, but hey - it's still newer then my 8800 ;)
zykotick9: I understood :)
in shell how do I reset a users password
I'm the admin
passwd username
sudo passwd # changes root password
sudo passwd username # changes username's password
passwd # changes your current password
root has no password set by default, dont change that.
mta`chrono: Thanks
Hi, i cannot login to my Ubuntu 12.10, i got black screen asking for login in terminal
hmmm does the ubuntu-12.10-desktop-i386.iso fit on a cd? its 754mb in size
moh_, have you recently upgraded video driver?
crw-rw----+ 1 root video 226, 0 Nov 14 18:19 /dev/dri/card0
hello folks, I'm on 10.04 and I compiled hostapd 1.0. I'm using a dlink dwa525. Hostapd doesn't give errors but I can't detect the wifi network from another device....
I loged in with my details, but still in terminal, i tried typing metacity
what's that ending '+' for? >>>> crw-rw----+
but it says unable to open x disply
opensorce, i do not know, i always did update and upgrade in apt-get
mta`chrono: i'm not sure what the + is, but i notice they are only on my video devices and cdrom drive???
moh_: try "startx"
zykotick9: google told me that '+' indicates the acl list enabled for this.
moh_: once you've tried "startx" assuming it fails, you could check the error output in /var/log/Xorg.0.log and look for lines with EE in them.
zykotick9: it's just because normal users can't access /dev/dri/card0 on my pc due to insufficant permission. but on my laptop (same permissions) it works!
mta`chrono: check groups membership, and what group owns the device?  video?
hi all, I am having problem connecting from one Ubuntu machine onto a Samba share on another Ubuntu machine, however it works the other just fine. Could somebody please help?
zykotick9: yes it owns root:video. but I think you don't explicit need to be member of the video group to access that. Have a look by calling `id` on your system.
how do I get GFCE Ultra to work? The graphics only work when the sound is off. And when the sound is on it sounds terrible anyway.
* the other way
bng_, pastebin your /etc/samba/smb.conf
mta`chrono: i'd suggestion you add whatever users you want to access that device to the video group.  log out/back in - should work properly.
x__: from which machine? :)
mta`chrono: sidenote, i prefer using "groups" to "id" myself.
bng_, the one hosting the samba share :-X
zykotick9: okay, and what does it display?
mta`chrono: oh, i'm in the video group
zykotick9: :-(... okay.... can you tell me the other default groups, too. Then I'll add them.
mta`chrono: sorry i can't.  i don't use ubuntu - someone else?
mta`chrono: careful if you are using usermod!  without -a it removed all but the one you specify!
zykotick9: I know ;-)
zykotick9, haha i've done that before
then you must boot into grub recovery to fix it
Can somebody execute `group` on a standard ubuntu maschine and paste the default groups into the chan.
s/group/groups/
x adm cdrom sudo dip plugdev lpadmin sambashare
sorry `groups`
x__: thanks
where x is also my username
x__: this is it, on the host machine: http://pastebin.com/AB8q5hUC  accessing it from the other box says "failed to mount windows share"
c
:-)
bng_, ok looks like you have no shares setup ?
hi, i'm a total beginer, can i get any help from u here?
x__: I set one up using the nautilus context menu, it even showed on the other machine, but I cannot mount it
fail lol
x__: it is shows the share
bng_, yea dont use that use the config file, check out mine for a starting point... http://paste.ubuntu.com/1358947/
does anybody know how to install 3g aplication made for Win7?
Juno88: There is no way.
:/ i even wine won't help?
Juno88, you can try wine
how do I go about reseting a lost admin account? I went into recovery mode and selected root but it wants the root password that I don't remember :/
Juno88: Correct, wine wont help.
bekks, where do you get your info from lol ? how do you know it won't help have you tried that specific app in wine ?
omegas: you need to change your kernel boot config
x__: I know it because does not have direct full access to hardware.
omegas: try http://askubuntu.com/questions/24006/how-do-i-reset-a-lost-administrative-password
bekks: +1
ahh ok. I retract my comment
would a vm work or no ?
Juno88, have you actually tried with wine?
x__: likely, at least for usb devices
yes, wine was the first thing i tried but it just don't work
ekhaat: delac it's the 3g over wine i see as being the major issue, many USB input devices work - but other h/w???
 irc.rizon.net
smoochict: I'm in recovery mode nad dropped to root shell option already but it asks for my password to continue. It's server edition if that makes a difference
are you talking about a 3g internet connection usb?
yes!
the orange one
and this is a total mistake
Omegas: do you have full access to the computer/hardware? or if this is a KVM vm then you can do it via vnc
Omegas: root has no password, by default.
Juno88, why a mistake?
it's a VM
Omegas: do you have your own none root user account?
i think it won't run on ubuntu no mater wut i'll try to do
Juno88, you did try?
Omegas: you should have sudo privileges, so you can do sudo passwd
Juno88: you might want to be slightly more specific about the model
so I can't get GFCE Ultra to work :/ and the visual only works when the audio is disable. but when the audio is enabled it sucks anyway. but I want both to function properly, any ideas?
simple opticon icon, i'll have to check the model...
my account is what I don't remember, when I hit enter at the password prompt it keeps asking for a password. I might have enabled root but for the life of me I have tired all my default passwords
Omegas: you need to reset the root password then
Omegas: Then use a live CD to take a look at the /etc/passwd to get the username and then reset the password for that user.
smoochict: There is no root password to be reset in Ubuntu.
k, opticon icon 225
and the mistake is the fact that it's terribly slow
haha thats good
Juno88, :-)
bekks: http://www.faqforge.com/linux/reset-root-password-ubuntu-linux-without-cd/ this is what i was suggesting if the user does not have access to their own user account either
also disconnect with even slightest move (not too well for a portable)
smoochict: Then please read the message ubottu sent to you seconds ago :)
I've had this unusual problem for a few weeks (I'd guess at since upgrading to 12.10), where when I switch audio application (for example starting a video in vlc, or pausing it to play audio in something else etc) I get a very strong staticky sound over the audio for a short while, which then clears up
ok i'll have to make a live disk
smoochict: Still there is no need to set a root password.
bekks: why no need?
btw realize is spelled wrong
I am desperately trying to get some help
smoochict: I already explained it twice :)
smoochict: a) you dont need a root password to get your lost username and b) you dont need a root password to reset a users password.
TheChemist, hopefully not the chemical kind :-)
it only seems to be immediately when playing sounds from a new source, starting skype does the same thing, but it clears up as long as I stick to the same source (i.e if I start skype, the startup sound will be all staticky, but by the time I make a call it'll have sorted itself, but if I pause a video in vlc, play something else and come back to vlc, it'll affect vlc again)
I am a newbie to linux, newbie to ubuntu. I installed the latest version, however the driver for my belkin F9L 1002v1 wouldn't support packet injection. So I uninstalled and went to 10.04 and I am trying to just get my wireless usb adapter to work, and hopefully get it to work with a draver that supports packet injection
smoochict: The user just dont need root access in the given case.
smoochict: having a valid root login is silly
I wish other distros would get their heads around this idea, too
bekks, gordonjcp: yes i understand that, but the user need not reset the root password following the same steps provided in the link, they can reset their own account, look in /etc/passwd.
smoochict: they can't edit /etc/passwd without going root, and they can't do that without their password
sudo?
I have to use my Windows partition to access the internet in order to find ways to debug, and than restart into my ubuntu partition try what I have researched and if it doesn't work, start over...
Hi there
gordonjcp: you don't need any password or credentials to do that if you boot up differently
can i ask here for Ubuntu One support?
smoochict: if you boot in single-user mode, no
smoochict: but in pretty much any OS if you have physical access to the machine and the ability to manipulate the boot sequence, you can get root access
gordonjcp: right, thats what i was trying to explain
smoochict: but that's what one line of the !root factoid says ;-)
sorry, !password
gordonjcp: the root factoid says nothing about single user mode
TheChemist, no idea, I have done many installations over the past two years, and wireless drivers really don't seem to be a problem, not in my cases anyway
smoochict: I meant !password
yep, i just saw that message now lol
I am resizing my root partition with a live CD and it is not working.
how can you can you su into the account "nobody"?
I get no such file exists when I run: lvreduce -rL 20G /dev/UBUNTUSERVER2/root
ls
I could use help resizing a boot parition.
I've inherited the management of a server that's running 9.10. I want to update to latest, but worried it's going to cause all sorts of incompatibilities and whatnot. Updating my home machine to 12.04 resulted in a bunch of problems for me. Are there any guides or suggestions on making the process as seamless as possible?
I've made a simple guide to install a basic LAMP server on Ubuntu, could you guys check if you can spot any mistakes? https://docs.google.com/document/d/1AeTjCYuFQsJcG3bWquudyOb2FYdBUGFx3i26z2qDWMk/edit
progster: i suggest a full image backup of the hard drive, if that is possible.. go ahead!
Progster: with something as old as 9.10 i'd suggest a reinstall
hmmm, really
Progster: yeah, backup any settings you need and fresh install a supported version
I am trying to do some online training, which is done through a flash player. In Chromium, The flash player opens, but the content is too big for the player size, so I can not see the play/pause buttons. Does anyone know how to remedy this? Either by makeing the player windonw bigger, or shrinking the content inside the window?
I am not talking about the browser window, but the actual flash player window inside the browser windoe
pls my vlc player does not produce any sound when trying to play an mp3 file on ubuntu 12.10 but when i test my speakers they bring out sound what can i do
babyswizz: Certain the volume's up in VLC?
seven
sevenforall, yes am sure
babyswizz: Go to settings, select the Audio tab
babyswizz: Fool around a bit with the Output module dropdown box
Try ALSA first, then the others
ciao
list!
sevenforall, whats ALSA
igor89: stop
babyswizz: Basically an audio driver, a way for Linux to have your speakers make sound
babyswizz: It should be somewhere on that list
sevenforall, in my settings i only have a sound option which does not include anything like ALSA but has a test sound button and when i test it, it actually produces sound but not from vlc
anyone know if air crack is in the repos?
Ubuntu 12.10, where would I find a channel on HTML or PHP help?
search the repo and check
Razgul: pm the bot "alias" and search
Razgul: Try #reddit-webdesign
Thanks
Hello, I'm looking for some kind of software for doing "advanced presentations".. something a bit more advanced than what I can achieve with regular openoffice, preferably with python in the background.. latex typesetting and some kind of support for simple animations would be good.. anyone know of such a beast? or am I looking at doing it myself with cairo or similar
babyswizz: You need to look at Tools > Preferences
> Audio
crackerjackz: I don't think it is.. you can download it from their site though
Ubuntu failed to detect a file DVD :/
sevenforall i cant find tools in my settings
babyswizz: Can you shoot me a screenshot?
Is there anyone that can help me with getting my USB wireless adapter to work on 10.04
TheChemist: lsusb -nn | grep -Ei '(wlan|wireless|802)'
sevenforall, am not sure i can do that on freenode webchat
babyswizz: You can upload it to http://imgur.com/ and send the link ;)
Does anyone know how I can install moonlight in Google Chrome?  I downloaded the CRX file but it won't let me install it as it isn't from the Chrome store.
Raugturi, my only guess: try drag and dropping it in the extensions tab
When using NFS or SMBD, I get kernel panics with 12.10, any help would be appreciated.
_axel_: I found that answer in a couple of places too, but it doesn't do anything at all.
http://pastie.org/private/ngsvrewvgmebzx5xj2pq
_axel_: I drag the file out of nautilus, hover over the extensions window and in some screenshots I saw it pop up a message saying to drag/drop there, but I don't get that no matter where I hover with the file.  And when I let go nothing happens.
Raugturi: tried it in the chromium browser?
or just drag/drop it into the main window
dr_willis: same thing
i just found the most useful command:  yes look into my eyes ( . )( . ) | figlet
does anyone know where the xorg.conf file is on ubuntu 12.04
or does it use xfree86
Digit: try      fortune | cowsay
i can't find xf86config utility either
this channel not so useful for advanced users eh
how do i force quit a program
georgeph:  /etc/X11  if it exists
Just ask an advanced question
s
s
georgeph:  x auto configures for the most part these days
dr_willis...it exists but i don't see the config file to monkey with the driver
Hi, I have Ubuntu stuck on console asking for login information
Bier_:  kill. xkill. killall
I could not login to GUI
dr_willis...xauto doesn't seem to exist either
what config file georgeph ?
dr_willis well something like xorg.conf
Hello. Is it normal for my testdrive raring synched iso to boot into console?
x does not normally need an xorg.conf these days
kamakwazee: how is that an ubuntu question ?
dr_willis: cowsay | xargs yes | figlet
lol, or something like that.
Digit:  ;-)
dr_willis...well the driver sucks..so i want to monkey around with some alternatives...i installed a deb driver but i don't know how to configure it without the conf file
georgeph: what driver
ikonia: It is an ubuntu iso. The wiki page told me to use testdrive and sync iso, but my iso is booting in console.
Please help. I have Exam next day and I cannot do anything without Ubuntu. All  my stuff are there :(
pls my vlc player does not produce any sound when trying to play an mp3 file on ubuntu 12.10 but when i test my speakers they bring out sound what can i do
hi all.. i have very stupid question but - i never need it thing like that but now.. i do need it.. does anyone know how to setup file permissions for users that they will be able to see folders of other users but cannot rw to them please?
mixing in debian packages is not a good idea
kamakwazee test drive and sync iso ? what, you just get an ubuntu iso and either burn it or boot from it
dr_willis...well right now it is using a non-propietary driver of some kind..i don't know..i can't find the conf file
kamakwazee: what are you trying to do ?
georgeph: what video card
dr_willis well it is an old radeon...but it should be able to do some 3d
georgeph: old radeon may only work with the opensourced drivers these days.
fglrx drops a lot of the old cards
on a regular basis
ikonia: testdrive is a virtual machine program. It syncs the iso with somewhere on the cdimages repository. I can then launch it. It goes to the ubuntu 13.04 loading page but redirects to console.
dr_willis i have some ideas for monkeying with the firegl stuff....but i need to know where the xorg.conf info is kept
kamakwazee: 13.04 ?
pls my vlc player does not produce any sound when trying to play an mp3 file on ubuntu 12.10 but when i test my speakers they bring out sound what can i do
kamakwazee: 13.04 is basically a toolchain...nothing more
georgeph:  fire up a text editor and make it
ikonia: Oh. I figured that it was a development build.
dr_willis...oh man....ill have to look for an old skeleton somewhere
babyswizz: are you using the standard pulseaudio sound system?
kamakwazee: it is a development build,
ikonia: Oh, is it like not to the point where it has a gui system?
kamakwazee: it depends, it's a development state, packages change daily and the state of it changes a lot
slart, i dont know what you mean by that but am running my ubuntu on a vm machine
dr_willis what happened to xf86config executable
Do I need to cry to get Help?
dr_willis or is it using xorg
georgeph: removed  years and years ago
MIH1406: whining just makes you annoying and gets you ignored
ubuntu uses tge x.org x.
MIH1406: just ask a question and wait for someone to help if they can
ikonia: Oh ok. Then what should I do? I wanted to help with finding bugs and things of sort. What would you recommend?
dr_willis...ok well i'll just try to goof around with it..thanks for your help
kamakwazee: having a clue about what you're actually downloading would be a good start
ikonia: good point
babyswizz: ok, let's assume your using pulseaudio.. it's the default, after all.. try installing the following package   pavucontrol    (run   sudo apt-get install pavucontrol  in a terminal)
kamakwazee: being able to log bugs with a solid level of technical detail at this stage would be good
kamakwazee: module and unit testing of components would be good
how can i block other users to see my private folder? anyone?
unborn: change the permissions
MIH1406: what ubuntu exactly? what did you do before? which errors appear?
dr_willis...ok it is not using xfree it is using xorg
ikonia: yeah i know.. but what number?
ikonia: Ok. Thanks for the assistance. Sorry for the probably stupid question.
kamakwazee: it's not stupid, nothing wrong with asking
georgeph: yep.. been xorg for years now...
unborn: 700
dr_willis...ok well that changes things for me...i'll just have to goof around but i don't see the old
ikonia: Ok. I just wanted to help in some way. I was following the wiki page to get started, and it told me to use testdrive to install development builds
kamakwazee: sounds like a terrible wiki page to be honest (not your fault)
dr_willis: thank you.. but.. this is server.. i need to setup permissions for each website in manner that other users will not be able to access that "folders" via ftp.. only they home folder..and thats all..
ikona i will try it.. but i think that have something to do with ftp
ikonia: Ya. Plus, I noticed that alot of the wiki pages are outdated. The meetings pages have like 2009
slart, can i download the deb file and install it? I'm finding it difficult getting my usb modem to work on ubuntu linux
oh and thanks ikonia
kamakwazee: people are too busy writing hyped up web pages about things that don't exist rather than maintain docs
babyswizz: oh..can't you just make the vm use the host internet connection? (or just download the deb directly.. hopefully it won't need any other packages)
nextt you will  expect people to read the docs   ;-)
ikonia: Ya, but ubuntu is constantly improving. Therefore, there is starting to be less need for docs
kamakwazee: that's just nonsense
How do I set up KDE as the default?
i have "orange snow" on my youtube videos after updating to 12.10.  does anyone know how to fix?
slart, is it possible to share the same internet connection on both host and guest at the same time?
ikonia: I didn't say there wasn't a need
kamakwazee: there is no less need
* maxb has never heard of "orange snow" :-)
Sounds dutch
chocolate rain maybe?
babyswizz: I'm not sure how it works on your system but when I run virtualbox on ubuntu I can adjust the settings for the vm so that it uses the hosts internet connection.. kind of use the host as a router.. just a check-box in a settings dialog
ikonia: It depends on the area
maxb, it's like specks of orange...  almost like "tv snow" on the old televisions
not really
fluitfries think flash is officially dead. Google does not even support it in Android anymore. Use a HTML5 browser
CodeRat, i'm using Chrome with youtube as i always have...
fluitfries then it should world. Did you install some other stuff?
CodeRat, no, this started happening immediately after some system updates
slart, please what particular check box is that, and I'm using a usb modem on my host which is a windows 7
fluitfries force it to use HTML5 http://www.youtube.com/html5
Trying to install 12.04.1 server on an HP DL360e Gen8 ... it's supported hardware according to both HP and Canonical.  Problem is that the installer doesn't pick-up the RAID-1 volume, but rather sees two individual disks.  The controller is a B120i
CodeRat, i'm testing it now, and it is indeed happening with html5 video
How do I make Ubuntu use the RAID as what it is?
i cant get the splash screen from the ubuntu text style to use a plymouth animated style, does any one have a guide on how to switch?
fluitfries truth be told I am so happy that flash has crashed and burned!
fluitfries not for you that is. The big fat stinky blob flash
CodeRat, yea, i dislike flash too.
CodeRat, do you think this is a video driver issue?
is there anyway to mount just a folder from a ntfs partition at boot, i really don't need the entire drive mounted
babyswizz: are you running virtualbox or some other vm?
fluitfries hard to say. I don't even have a dedicated GPU in my box. I refuse to install blob drivers. Use the GMA in my Sandy Bridge 2600
Rallias: no
slart, am running virtualbox
CodeRat, ok.  i'll try to keep googling.
roger__: sorry, no
CodeRat...well i don't like blobs either but this non-propietary driver really sucks
babyswizz: in the normal virtualbox starting thingy.. where you have a list of your virtual machines
babyswizz: right-click on your ubuntu vm and select "Settings"
fluitfries hence I am a Debian GNU/Linux user =). Zero blobs in the kernel etc. Hope you get it sorted.
babyswizz: you should get a new window with a list-box on the left with "General", "System", "Display" and so on
babyswizz: click on "Network" in that list-box and you should get some settings on the right part of the window
i really used to like my old radeon...but the doggone shader versions are too old for many of the emulators
how do i mount my cd
georgeph yeah they do suck. But I got to say the GMA that is embedded in the ivy bridge is darn fast.
geogeph and Intel is quite open with their hw etc. Mesa is a joy to program.
CodeRat well everybody says the sandy bridge finally qualifies as an elementary apu
CodeRat so intel is making progress
sandy bridge is not that great but the ivy is a lot faster. Nothing for hard core gaming though.
After rebooting my Ubuntu 12.04, I lost my wireless card.  If I do a iwconfig, I see the wireless interface, but it says ESSID:off/any
as far as the GPU goes that is
babyswizz: this is what the window should look like http://imagebin.org/235891
I tried to bring it back up with sudo ifconfig wlan0 up
but that didn't work.
#ttoonloop
CodeRat..well just give intel some time they are starting to achieve some benchmarks and there are a few games for the intel stuff without 3rd party gpus already
CodeRat, clock for clock ivy is only 5-10% fastr
intel will never be a major competitor in the graphics market
georgeph yeah, who would have thought! They are actively working with the open source community.
roger_ i wouldn't bet on that
roger__, they might be if they buy ATI when amd goes under
they are years behind everyone else
x__: have fun waiting for that to happen ;)
for what amd to go under?
roger_ well amd is giving intel hell...their latest multitasking video really outshines intel's stuff at the moment
slart, thanks and i going to try it now
roger_ very smooth multitasking results on the amd platform
bkc_, amd is going under in the nxt 5 years they already said so them selves basically, google it they are checking out options on selling patents wtc.
roger_ at least for some apps their video shows
babyswizz: do that.. "NAT" is the setting you want for the vm to just use the host internet connection.. I'm assuming it's available on windows just as it is on linux
x__ think the HD Graphics 4000 GPGPU is quite decent. Then again I am not much of a gamer.
i have a pure amd system here, there isn't any intel system can match the quality and performance i get
CodeRat, quite decent for playing HD video
roger_ but when intel sees that video they will probably go to work on something more competitive
not for gaming, I have an i5 3570k btw.
slart, it is but its like i have to shut down the guest to change the settings
babyswizz: yes, I think you have to close the vm to change settings
intel just released a COMPUTE gpu processing thingamabob that is only a bit behind tesla, they are catching up in some ways.
this system i have isn't top notch by any means, but amd radeon hd 6670 running xvba mplayer only doing 1-3% cpu with vaapi on 1080p, intel can't touch that performance that this video puts out
x__: who was that to ?
x_, roger__ can't you take this to #hardware or something like that? seems you're pretty far out of ubuntu-land by now =)
x__  I am just using a i7 2600 (not the k since I need VT-D) with a mega its crappy GPU and I can do the stuff I am showing here www.youtube.com/watch?v=3WnaZL3ARN0
roger_ yea i can see right now amd is giving intel hell..with a smoother multitasking system under heavier loads
georgehank, problem is amd is ahead of the times with there chips, 8 cores is worthless when no apps use 8 cores lol.
Only "beef" I got with Intel is how the C states work for boost ect. Not that they don't document that stuff. Just damn hard to wrap you head around.
i better get me one of them 8 core fx before amd buckles under though lol, while they still cheap
split =)
but intel finally achieved an apu...so it is just a matter of time before it gets faster to compete with nvidia's einstien...
when did intel make an apu ?
Hi guys, can anyone please help me with my gnome session its not behaving properly
guys, this isn't ubuntu related
x_ well everybody says that sandy bridge really qualifies as an elementary apu
please take it to ##hardware
I do want AMD to come back into the picture. Never good when just one player does not have competition.
sry ikonia
guys, please.
I'm having trouble installing ubuntu alongside windows. I'm using a pendrive made with the linux pendrive tool, the installation stalls at a point where it tries to mount the cd drive and fails. I know I have the correct version of Ubuntu and checked it's md5 thing

my session is not working properly and i would like to delete it and create a new one, can someone help pl
How do I set up my computer so it uses KDE instead of Unity?
I have a file server running ubuntu server, it currently is running nfs-server. It works, and always grants read privs to clients. However, it is flaky with write privs. When it does work, it seems to screw up ownership. I think the solution is to set up LDAP, however I don't know if that is overkill. This is just a file server running on my home network. Does anyone have an advice about whether this is the best approach?
gauche: install kde, log off then log into the KDE session
is there a nexus 7 specific ubuntu room?
CalvinnHobbes: setting up LDAP is always overkill.. no matter what superpower you're trying to run =) Are you doing anything weird with the write permissions?
*channel
CalvinnHobbes: I'm using nfs myself for my home server and it's been doing fine so far
Slart, such as what?
I set it up following the basic guide on NFS
lemme see if I can find what I used
this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpNFSHowTo with the "Quick Start"
CalvinnHobbes: what actually happens when it messes up? you can't write to the network share? or files get written but with the wrong owner? some other weirdness?
CalvinnHobbes: that kind of looks like what I did.. although it's been a while since I set it up
often I can't write, sometimes wrong owner "dailup" is used
*dial
CalvinnHobbes: you might want to throw some of those configuration files up on a pastebin (perhaps edit some usernames and other things you don't want the world to see) and include the link to that pastebin.. some kind of example of logs from when you get errors might be useful as well
Hello
ello
ehlo
CalvinnHobbes: I can't really say I know a lot about nfs but I'm sure there are clever people in the channel that can help you
ok thanks ill post it in a sec
was waiting for that ehlo ... ah the telnet days
I just installed ubuntu on my laptop and i'm having troubles with wireless connection, something like the wlan driver is missing... the connection doesn't show available. What can I do?
CodeRat: =)
I've followed so many youtube tutorial but I didn't manage to solve this problem
AlinMarincu: what wifi chip?
AlinMarincu is a USB wifi dongle. One built into your mobo? A card?
ActionParsnip: RTL8187SE
no CodeRat
AlinMarincu Is it a Alfa?
what you mean by alfa? sorry but i'm not very good at computers
AlinMarincu oh wait that thing. Right its that little card thing in laptops. Try lspci and see if it is picked up
yeah it is
the last row shows it
AlinMarincu: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/246141
AlinMarincu: what is the output of:  lsb_release -sc
thanks ActionParsnip. gonna try right now
i don't know what is wrong with that vulpine glmark it doesn't seem to like many gpu chips
AlinMarincu: run:     lsb_release -sc    in a terminal, what is output?
it shows nothing, invalid command
right now i am just trying get opgl2 working as cheap as i can
then suggests me to write lsb-relase
AlinMarincu: there is a space between release and the -s
yeah
AlinMarincu: or:   cat /etc/lsb-release
* ActionParsnip stokes his beard in thought
No such file or directory
;s
AlinMarincu: then you aren't using Ubuntu, so it's not supported here
that gl1.4 vertex and pixel shader versions just doesn't cut it for a lot lot lot of stuff
I'm usinb ubuntu 12.10
can u suggest me a different version?
AlinMarincu was grabbing a beer. Right what do you see when you do this lspci -nn | grep Network
AlinMarincu: if you were using Ubuntu, both commands would output something
AlinMarincu: what is the output of:  uname -a
of course getting stereoscopic rendering and 3d vision working on a free platform would be nice
AlinMarincu: or:  cat /etc/issue
AlinMarincu ahh wait what kernel you using!
but right now the price is a little prohibitive to goof around with
sec. trying to find a way to paste text from a computer to another
is ubuntu 12.10 better than 12.04?
AlinMarincu the drivers were included (at least for Debian) back with 2.6.32
Alin use a usb stick
m13, commonly yes
or pastebin if it has internet
is edubuntu ok too?
yes
m13, yes, especially for educational purpose
and anyway einstein specs should blow a lot of this stuff away
if nvidia delivers
My tech teacher gave me the DVD
I WAS running lubuntu 12.10
m13, greats, you can learn a lot of with it
so many bugs
lubuntu is horrible
10.04 is not
m13, its no matter, lubuntu or ubuntu
02:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8187SE Wireless LAN Controller [10ec:8199] (rev 22)
M13: its light and fast
I usually suggest keeping with the LTS releases, 10.04, 12.04, 14.04 etc
M13, you can switch your desktop env
ik
the releases in between are sometimes less stable and more experimental
can I make ubuntu 12.04 look like 10.10?
AlinMarincu: what is the output of:  cat /etc/issue     please
M13: you can make it look like 10.04
I'm guessing 10.10 is the same
how???
M13: sure, install gnome-panel and log out then log in to the new session

blackshirt, i am upgrading virtualbox but the 4.2 version warns that it breaks the 4.1 version.  so i'm guessing i need to uninstall first?
AlinMarincu what do you see when you do this dmesg | grep rtl8187
fluitfries, you can use apt-get to purge/remove/uninstall installed packages
AlinMarincu: did the bug log give you any clues?
CodeRat i see a new line
AlinMarincu: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MsiWind   also has a guide for building the driver. Handy :)
Gonna pinch a MASSIVE loaf and hit that sack. gn
blackshirt, oh, i didn't realize apt worked with .deb packages
ActionParsnip: gonna have a look thanks
fluitfries, i don't mean with .deb packages ....
blackshirt, virtualbox comes via .deb packages from their website.
fluitfries, if your .deb packages has been installed, you can manage it with apt
AlinMarincu: if you are clever, you can make a DKMS config and the driver will upgrade when you get new kernels
blackshirt, the version in the repositories is not the same version, it has limitations
blackshirt, ok, i'll try to remove 4.1 with apt, thank you
fluitfries, you should do it carefully when you using third party repository
gonna explore, its my first time on ubuntu. it's pretty different from windows
AlinMarincu: way to go! \o/
AlinMarincu: indeed :), you will learn as you use the OS :)
mp3 sound crash some times what can i do?
thanigaivel: have you tried different players?
ActionParsnip: yes now using clementine
thanigaivel: does playback just stop suddenly?
thanigaivel: try:    killall pulseaudio; rm -r ~/.pulse*       wait 10 seconds then reboot.
booted live distro archbang, installed but skipped bootloader step, rebooted into buntu, mounted arch partitions, ran commands os-prober and update-grub, rebooted and no arch. did i miss a step?
ActionParsnip: sound disappear slowly. like robot voice.
slart, thanks it worked but i wasnt able to install pavucontroll, i got an error saying the software is unavialable, but is reffered to by another program and that this may mean the package is obsoleted, missing or is only avialable from another source
yeah
thanks for everything guys!
have a great night

Is anyone else having major fuckups with xorg/WM on ubuntu 12.10?
Hi, I am back after a class. I have Ubuntu 12.10 that stops on a console asking for a login information but it will never reach the GUI system (GNOME3 or Unity)
Need help installing the Adaptive Contrast Enhancement in Gimp 2.6.11, OS Ubuntu 11.04.  Anyone?
Anyone have any experience with Eclipse on Ubuntu?
Hi there.  Has anyone had difficulty installing with btrfs as root filesystem on 12.10?
hello guys
Sach: Natty is EOL and no longer supported in any way
ActionParsnip: Thanks. So is 11.10 stable?
Sach: yes, as is 12.04 and 12.10
not quite sure that 12.10 is stable
Sach: 12.04 is LTS so supported til 2017. 12.10 has the latest features but has a shorter life (18 months)
let's say "semi stable" :)
Deivid: officially it is stable
yes
then let's say not mature enough
ActionParsnip: i believe the term is "final" not stable...
just switched nack to 12.04
zykotick9: yourwitness :)
ActionParsnip: ummm, my bad.
hello guys i use lxde wha file i shud modigy to remove some entries
booted live distro archbang, installed but skipped bootloader step, rebooted into buntu, mounted arch partitions, ran commands os-prober and update-grub, rebooted and no arch. did i miss a step?
some menu entries  i i mean
kosaidpo, still missing details, i assume you mean DE entries from the login screen?
XiaolinDraconis: im using lxde i want to remover menu entry OTHER and ive been googlin with luck
I have Ubuntu 12.10 that stops on a console in **startup** asking for a login information but it will never reach the GUI system (GNOME3 or Unity)
Hello everyone
When starting my computer it shows "xubuntu 12.10" how do i change this? its a long time ago since i tryed XFCE ;)
12.10 is anything but stable from what I'm dealing with
chris__333: o/
I kinda wish I had stuck to 12.04, it ran smoothly
bkc_: :)
pls my vlc player does not produce any sound when trying to play an mp3 file on ubuntu 12.10 but when i test my speakers they bring out sound what can i do
thx jrib ;)
I was told that if you run games like world of warcraft, Quake, Neocron or any other big fast game out there it will run faster and better on linux than windows. Is this true?
how can i remove THE OTHER entry from my menu in lxde ?
or is it better on windows?
pls my vlc player does not produce any sound when trying to play an mp3 file on ubuntu 12.10 but when i test my speakers they bring out sound what can i do
can someone please answer me
chris...there are  a few games for linux but i don't know if anyone wants to spend any money on linux
no like windows games
chris...kinda defeats the free issue
like world of warcraft
chris__333, some statetement yes .. If that games run natively on linux, i think exactly yes
blackshirt: thank you. i thought so
cris...you might try drascula on dosbox or scummvm for linux
babyswizz: I'd start by testing something else in VLC, after that open the settings(preferences) in VLC and tried setting the audio-output to something else?
:)
some people play world of warcraft or black hawk down on linux even though it's meant for windows. I was told to do it under linux and it will run smoother. i didnt know if they were lying.
chris_333, i don't play a bit with that games before
chris__333: why don't you just try it and see if it works well enough for you?
oh ok
babyswizz: and try to set the audio-output to something else* (added to the beginning without changing the latter ^.^)
chris...try out drascula on scummvm for linux it is free
jrib: yea i'm probably going to try that. I was told to use something called "wine" to run windows games
chris__333: sudo apt-get install wine ; http://aps.winehq.org
I have Ubuntu 12.10 that stops on a console in **boot up** asking for a login information but it will never reach the GUI system (GNOME3 or Unity)
apps.winehq.org*
thank you very much for your time
everyone ;)
chris__333: np, that's why we are here you know ;P
wow that nvidia 6200 is a joke...it is the worst driver they have ever produced and it is not  even close to recent versions of vertex and pixel shaders
exit
georgeph: what? 6200 is a HW model afaik, not a driver :/
jrib: did not have any effect.. I tryed both pressing 1 (gnome-ubuntu-remix) and 2 (standard ubuntu) still xubuntu login and logout images
bkc yeah the driver for the gpu just really sucks or maybe it is the gpu itself that is very defective.
georgeph: the driver isn't bad... the GPU is...
vooze: you mean the images during boot up right?  not the image behind where you type your password to login?
bkc plus it has way way old vertex shader 1.1 and pixel shader 1.4...way way out of date
georgeph: indeed... that's the HW... not the SW...
jrib: yeah :) NOT the lightdm images...
bkc...that is one of their worst products ever
bkc...just scrounging around in junk piles it is hard to find anything useful
i just cant the whole command yes
georgeph: it's an OLD as (censor) low-budget INTEGRATED gpu... what did you really expect? (no offence, just irritated at people who talks outside proper context)
bkc_ well i was trying to get full opengl2.0 capability at a low low low price
I just wrote **
bkc but this junk pile stuff just doesn't cut it
can i use the lexmark officeedge pro5500 from my ubuntu machine?
georgeph: and it's EOL so don't expect the drivers to get any better... the driver doesn't add any new magical functions that makes it up to standards with todays gfx-cards...
georgeph: then you made a bad judgement-call... you're fault, not nvidias...
georgeph, I just switched back to 12.04
I was the guy with internet problems
jrib: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1359255/
bkc well there used to be a company called sci tech or something that could write software accelerators for older gl hardware but they disappeared
Anyone here know why when I remove Eclipse from the Software Center and add it again, it has old default settings?
vooze: don't know; that should work afaik
bkc..they were trying to make the older hardware run newer gl versions
noiro, u need to use purge in terminal
it will remove all the settings
bkc but they disappeared
Deivid, if I try to purge it, it only offers to purge 172kb. :P
georgeph: SW-acceleration (like for instance Mesa pre-gallium3D) is slow. period. doesn't have ANYTHING on a modern card on any CPU...
jrib: yeah okay, thx anyway :)
Eclipse is at least 300mb
then search for hidden dir
georgeph: I can see why they disappered... it can't be done on todays CPUs...
booted live distro archbang, installed but skipped bootloader step, rebooted into buntu, mounted arch partitions, ran commands os-prober and update-grub, rebooted and no arch. what went wrong??
can i use the lexmark officeedge pro5500 from my ubuntu machine?
bkc_ well i am not spending any money for anything unless i find some cheap junk in the junk piles
Deivid.....how?
georgeph: and quite frankly, I can't see how it can ever be done... ever...
georgeph: then that's your problem...
bkc_ yeah been a problem for many many many years but some people are still using the xt so i am not alone with junk stuff
hello im wanting to know if you can share your wireless connection to the enthernet card
bkc plus sun was trying to keep 20 year old computers working too
bkc a lot of us dont want to spend a dime unless something comes along in the junk piles for peanuts
georgeph: I can relate... My current dev-machine is an old ThinkPad T43 from 2005... but your point is still WRONG
Hellom I need to format my macbook harddrive. Is there any program to do that? I have connected it to my computer using a docking station
georgeph: and what did happen too Sun Enterprice exactly ;)
noiro
bkc_: it's probably the fastest machine I own at the moment; although my P4 3GHz desktop may be clocked faster it has less memory
ctrl h in home folder
any eclipse folder over there?
gordonjcp: Have one of those at home actually, found it in a junk pile :D just need a new flexcable between the LogicBoard and the IO-Board :)
or "rm -r ~/.eclipse"
please my rhythmbox player as an import error which says that additional GStreamer plugins are required to play mp3 files. what can i do
hello im wanting to know if you can share your wireless connection to the enthernet card
gordonjcp: awesome thing with that one is that it has a OpenGL 2.1 card with geometryshader support <3
korn788: yes
at least the junk pile stuff doesn't have that trusted platform drm stuff
georgeph: this is where ARM is going to win out
or that secure boot stuff
how would i go about doing this
georgeph: actually TPM and SecureBoot aren't that common...
georgeph: the Chinese MIPS-based machines are just going to get better and better, too
gordon  maybe...but arms greatest advantage is to start sandboxing everything to try and cut down repair bills from viruses and malware
babyswizz, just install the "ubuntu-restricted-extras" in the software centre.
gordonjcp: SecureBoot is basically made for ARM... so I can't see how that point is valid :)
package*
bkc_: just flash your own firmware on
bkc_: if you don't like the hardware, get some that you *do* like built
kostkon, i have installed it
gordonjcp: sure, but I'm talking about OEM here :)
gordon when they phase out win32...and go to strictly winrt apps it may reduce customers repair bills
bkc_: <shrug>
bkc_: I'm getting a batch of 50 custom ARM devices made
babyswizz, what kind of files are you trying to import
mp3
georgeph: 'scuse me... are you a Troll? ^.^
bkc_: Cortex A8, 2GB RAM, 32GB flash, SATA and HDMI
Is there anything like a virtualbox dynamic container I can use for regular storage?
bkc_: 40 quid a pop
kostkon, mp3
bkc no not really just trying to get some stuff working
gordonjcp: sound's like an iDevice :P
nvm ^.^
didn't se the SATA&HDMI-part :P
bkc_: you ring up a Chinese fab house, point them at a datasheet, and say "build me the reference design"
babyswizz, hmmm
bkc_: boom, eight weeks later a box gets dropped off at your workshop
gordonjcp: that works :)
im trying not to be rude but is there a link or something
bkc_: we are entering a very exciting time, with lots of ridiculously powerful cheap devices coming out
bkc_: Windows 8 "Secure Boot" is already dead
bkc_: contrary to popular belief, Chinese people aren't stupid
babyswizz, just to be sure, give in the terminal:  apt-cache policy ubuntu-restricted-extras  and confirm that the Installed section shows the installed version.
bkc_: put yourself in China in a factory making ARM tablets.  Now, are you going to pay money to Microsoft for Windows 8 certification, so you can then pay money to Microsoft for an unpopular niche OS?
gordonjcp: that I do know (chinese people aren't stupid part that is)
indeed
bkc_: by the way, your software guy has Android 4 running already, in the time we've been having this conversation
bad marketing is bad indeed :P
oh look, the bkc_Tablet ships with Android 4 as stock!
hello im wanting to know if you can share your wireless connection to the enthernet card
kostkon, Installed:57 Candidate57 Version table:*** 57  0 that was what came out
babyswizz, could you paste the whole output on paste.ubuntu.com
what are some desktop environments for ubuntu?
there was like this debian one I liked a lot
it had the debian start botton
does anyone know how to get that desktop env.
?
kostkon, its at paste.ubuntu.com/1359284/
please help
babyswizz, hmm that's strange. how did you install the package? do you remember?
M13: If you want to use KDE, you need Kubuntu
no
Still supported here, it just has KDE
its not KDE
LXDE?
Xfce?
no its like this debian env.
the start said debian
kostkon, i downloaded the deb file and i ran sudo dpkg -i packagename in the terminal
it was like a Debian 3 env
babyswizz, what didn't you install it using the software centre?
I'm pretty sure Debian 3 uses KDE
i cant get KDE???
im running Edubuntu 12.04
M13: Hmm.
Idk if it's available in the Repos
kostkon, i was finding it difficult getting connected to the internet on ubuntu
Anyone have any idea?
babyswizz, are you connected now?
kostkon, yes
babyswizz, good, then
is there a way I can get a task bar in openbox???
babyswizz, then, my suggestion is:  remove the local version and install the one from the repos, i.e. give the following in the terminal, it's one command: sudo apt-get purge ubuntu-restricted-extras && sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras
babyswizz, actually, no, better give this:
babyswizz,   sudo apt-get purge ubuntu-restricted-extras && sudo apt-get clean && sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras
Hey i've just been looking at ubuntu on android on the ubuntu website, how do I go about installing this?
tjeaton, it hasn't been released yet
tjeaton, I think
do I need to add myself to a group to be able to access other home directories without sudo?
Ah okay, I've seen videos online of people installing it but i guess these are non official methods?
tjeaton, haven't seen any videos except the ones from canonical
Just watching one now, it like uses vnc to connect to ubuntu on android. with ubuntu 12.04 that is
tjeaton, hmm, no idea
I remember it being possible to read other home directories without any group adding
but I guess it's been changed

I need help please. I'm right now doing an online test for school. I'm very new to linux. For some reason my left mouse button stoped working. The test is in flash. I didn't do anything but click the answer
chris_333 your flash player crash?  mouse button works on other things?
OMG i'm going to fail this test! why did linux disable my left mouse button
it works on here yes
but not on this flash site
your flash player needs to be restarted/browser restart
I did this test before on this page with no problems. It was on windows though.
Linux does not work with flash that well?
I mean linux is not too good with anything flash?
adobe doesn't debug it well or quickly, so it crashes more frequently
ah, ok
chris_333 - its nothing to do with Linux, its your browser
im using the browser that came with the new ubuntu firefox
should i download Chrome to get a more stable flash handling browser?
you can try
ok i'll try that. thank you
like all adobe products, flash is a terrible pile of junk... and they care about it on Linux even less than Windows
hey guys quick question i see in my server install reiserfs, xfs, jfs, what are the main differences?
anyone knows?
Hey guys, does chrome work for ubuntu 12.10 64bit? Cant get it to install :(
Anyone, anyone at all, zdmcp
last version for linux is out now, they said they won't support or develop it for linux any longer
xdmcp
sheikhmak, wikipedia
sheikhmak, they differences in internal
psusi yeah i'm on some article, but looking for quick answer, that won't make me go through 4 pages of articles.
blackshirt meaning?
sheikhmak - so, you want an explanation of filesystem types thats more concise than 4 pages on Wikipedia? :)
reiserfs was for reiser fs file system ... Commonly works better with small file size block in big thousand of number
sheikhmak, if you aren't interested in the details then don't worry about it and stick to the default ( ext4 )
sheikhmak: Different filesystems require different means of recognition. That's all.
coach17 lol i knew saying that will bite me in the butt
lol
:-))
Is there nice new virtualization technology being added to the new Intel Haswell CPUs to be released Q1 2013?
d
thing is i'm installing this server and never wondered, how the different filesystems really differed.  i know about the good old ntfs, fat, and ext4
ext3
sheikmak...why bother with a server...you could end up being the victim of ddos attacks
ext4 is new and not quite there yet
ext4 is not new, and has been there for several years now
sheikmak...and some repair bills for ddos attacks are astronomical
georgeph lol some of them include wiping the box. lol or having to redownload the ubuntu cd
sheikmak especailly if they have distributed bot attackers
sheikhmak...no...they overload your server
sheikhmak - ok, so if you know those FS you know the key diff is usually around extensibility...or in some cases just taste. Unless you are looking for a server install to do something like massive file management (in which case I'd suggest you probably already know about it or _should_ know about it) then I really dont think you need worry about the types ... t least, not for an explanation so quick that its faster to ab
sorb than 4pages ! :-)
sheikmak and your site goes down and the repair bills while you are under attack are astronimical
a ddos attack has nothing to repair or wipe... you just wait for them to stop, or move to another isp
and the possibility of your server going down is not a very good reason to keep it down permanently yourself
oops. Forgot. Sorry  :)
okay, i'll read up more on that. but for now, i'm behind a firewall and a router. my server will only be accessed by me.
CavalierPrime: was your answer to my question or another??
nothing exposed to an external ip
wantsfish another
but thanks coach17 . i don't intend to use it for a massive file management, but if i was to, what will you recommend, just curiosity and poking around different technologies
Can anyone suggest a command to scale up images in a directory such that they have a least one dimension matching that of a bounding size (say, 800x480px). Images larger that already have a dimension larger than that don't need to be altered.
ejcweb why ...are you trying to do texture painting for realistic 3d characters
oh and guys, I think This was a quick and better answer than wikipedia http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/33552/htg-explains-which-linux-file-system-should-you-choose/
ejcweb: Be aware that scaling an image up will result in pixelation
georgeph: No.
deadmund: I'm aware of that.
ejcweb...why do you need to scale...are you trying to do texture painting by fitting predone images
hi guys
update-grub states that it found arch, but arch is not being added to the menu
I would like to install ubuntu but I am having some problems, could anyone help?
iomicio: what are the problems?
iomicio, state your specific question
I borrowed a workstation from a friend
XiaolinDraconis, it sounds like you need to make a custom grub entry for Arch.
it has windows 7 and ubuntu 10.10 installed
I am trying to install via USB but I am presented with the dual booth and not with the install prompt
DaemonicApathy, i was afraid of that
iomicio, the install is initiated from within live session
and I don't have any password to access the live sessions
iomicio, you should be presented with the options to install Ubuntu, create a dual boot system, or "something else" as part of the standard installation.
ejc...why do you need to scale...are you trying to use predone images scaled down or up to fit your 3d characters for realistic texture painting
iomicio, no password is required
If you want to have only Ubuntu, you will need to create a liveCD or usb drive.
sheikhmak, ext4 unless you are feeling adventerous, in which case you may give btrfs a try... it's got some killer features but is still experimental
why can't I access my home directories on other partitions without root?
I only see a prompt of command similar to this one: http://askubuntu.com/questions/28978/how-to-get-rid-of-multiple-linux-versions-in-grub-boot-menu
smj: They're probably encrypted.
they're not
psusi from more reading i'll actually stick with ext2
sheikhmak, no, that would be a mistake
psusi why would it be?
because ext2 is 25 years old and obsolete
it is not very efficient especially with large files, tends to need long fscks frequently, and is not robust in the face of crashes or power failures
iomicio: That's a GRUB list - you want to boot from an Ubuntu CD/DVD/USB stick before that comes up.
how can I do so (sorry I am a complete noob)
xangua, choice of filesystem to use with ubuntu is not ot
iomicio, what is your current primary OS
on that work station is windows 7 but I just have a guest account
psusi: if it's not then just use ext4 as the installer recomends, period ;)
xangua, that's what I've been saying ;)
what's up with blender it is completely broken on this version of ubuntu
iomicio, so you will want to download the ubuntu 12.04 iso, and get a program from pendrivelinux.org to install it to usb
xangua sjeejs lol. its for an ubuntu install
XiaolinDraconis: I did that
does anybody else have problems with blender on ubuntu 12.04
anybody knows if there's a room on IRC for Raspberry Pi?
XiaolinDraconis: how can I avoid getting into GRUB
what should I do before that?
iomicio: download the Ubuntu version you want from http://www.ubuntu.com , burn it to a disc, and boot the machine from that. The BIOS of the machine may have to be tweaked (the first screen might say something like "F2 for system settings")
psusi thanks for the pointers, i'll look into it later, lol. i really need to proceed with server install
ahahah
iomicio, which prgram did you use to install to usb?
how can ubuntu afford not to support blender...especially when tears of steel shows some solid graphics capabilities
XiaolinDraconis: PendriveLinux
xangua: I'm asking if anyone knows, not how do I know..
does anybody know of a fix for blender
DaemonicApathy: I have dowloaded a zip file
DaemonicApathy: is the iso inside or should I burn the zip
iomicio, u should not have gotten a zip
which brings me to another question. while i'm at it. my laptop has somewhat a weird behavior since i tried gnome-desktop on it, grub color has changed to blue, and on boot, i get the some blue wallpaper for a hot second before my wallpaper kicks in. its actually sort of annoying at this point. lol. anyone knows what to do with that?
georgeph: you should describe how it is broken
iomicio, go here http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop and download the second choice
before it goes to boot I have two options: F2 and F12
should I click any of those?
questions. if i am running 10.04 32 bit. and upgrade to 12 will that update to 64bit os?
iomicio, titled ubuntu 12.04 lts
theborger: no
jrib..well let me try to run it in a shell and i will see if there are any error messages
jrib, so i need to do a fresh install
jrib: anyway to upgrade to 64bit?
theborger: reinstall
XiaolinDraconis: I have already dowloaded that file. It is a zip file to me!
iomicio, you probably have installed one of the silly programs that can also treat iso files as an archive... it is not
some people scale predone images with gimp and fit them to 3d characters in blender for realistic 3d characters without spending a dime
iomicio, you should have gotten this, ubuntu-12.04.1-desktop-i386.iso
psusi: that could be, how do I treat it as an iso instead?
iomicio, ignore the fact that it looks like a zip?
well it says swrast/s_span.c 1327 assertion color type failed
iomicio, correct ignore that fact
follow instructions
jrib is that any kind of a useful clue to try to get blender working on ubuntu
iomicio, are you putting it on a flash drive or a dvd?
georgeph: I still don't know how it is not working
iomicio, use the program from pendrivelinux, i personally prefer YUMI
I have actually downloaded "ubuntu-12.04.1-desktop-amd64" but I think I need an intel version. does it make any difference?
well apparently  color_type 0x1401 or 0x1406 failed
iomicio, no, intel uses amd's 64bit instruction set
iomicio: you've downloaded the 64-bit version, you can use it on intel processors
in the swrast/s_span.c code
ok
so I will burn that file on a dvd right?
this is a major problem for ubuntu
iomicio, yes, if you have a dvd and a program that knows how to burn image files
georgeph: why don't you say what exactly happens... What did you type?  What was the full output?  What happened on the screen?  Does blender still start?  Does it start and quit?  If it starts, does it behave normally?  If not, how so?
can you suggest a program to do that?
iomicio, thats one of 2 options, also the YUMI program can install to usb
iomicio, you do not just drag and drop the file to the disc
jrib...i typed the output already do you want me to type it again
http://www.pendrivelinux.com/yumi-multiboot-usb-creator/
georgeph: good luck with your issue.
I have actually installed the iso with PendriveLinux on a USB stick already
iomicio, then you should be set
hey can I find a developer? I think I found a bug/exploit thats a major security issue
the usb is in and I am presented with GRUB without any reference to a new installation
jrib...man that is a real loss especially when some people are becoming able to achieve some modest level of computer graphics with blender
iomicio, as i told you, the installer is in a live session
georgeph: please stick to support
k thanks but its not with a package
iomicio, so proceed with booting it up
Tsubaki: you can label a bug as a security issue.  #ubuntu-bugs can help you more
iomicio, choose the top choice when the system boots to usb
jrib...well i don't know how to support it unless i try to recompile it...but it may be an x problem
ty jrib
XiaolinDraconis: the top choice leads to my friend's account and I have no password
georgeph: I'm just asking that you keep the discussion related to support in this channel.  There's no need for the "it's a real loss ..."
psusi I am booting up
jrib..ok
hi, i have a notebook with a AMD Radeon HD 6520G.  my 30" dell maxes out at 1200x800 resolution.  i'm currently runnign with the latest amd proprietary driver.  upon installing the open source fxlgr driver, my system crashed.  does anyone have ideas on how i can increase my resolution?
iomicio, the top choice from the usb would not lead to an already installed system
XiaolinDraconis: ok let me try again
boxbeatsy...how did you change the driver for x...i also would like to try another driver
georgeph: i followed a guide on the ubuntuforums.  added the ppa and then used apt-get install fglrx i believe
XiaolinDraconis: it prompts my friend account
iomicio, try this tutorial, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o_02Ca5LJpg&feature=related
boxbeatsy: but after i tried fglrx, it just straight up failed to boot.  to get it back to a normal state, i had to purge fglrx, and reset xorg.conf
^geor
boxbeatly oh well i got a deb package and used dpkg -i...but it did not change anything in x
boxbeatly how did you reconfigure x
for a rolled back driver
georgeph: i know for a fact that the graphics card (amd radeon hd 6520g) can support more than 1200x800 because my other monitor, can max out at 1920x1680
boxbeatsy...well i don't know anything about that hires stuff...my cheap junk barely gets 640 by 480 with 256 colors
boxbeatsy...but i would like to goof around with some drivers too..but i don't see anyway of reconfigure x for different drivers since the conf file is missing and the configure apps seem to be missing too
georgeph: so, first a disclaimer: i know nothing about hardware configs.  once the computer crashed, the steps i took were 1)purging fglrx via apt-get 2)blacklisting fglrx_ipa so it didnt get recognized by the lsphw command under configuration 3)downloaded proprietary amd driver and installed it
iomicio, rather than entering a bios and changing settings, some systems allow you to go to boot options, for me i press F11 at boot and i get a list to choose what device to boot, i select usb and thats it
georgeph: 4)run sudo aticonfig --initial
XiaolinDraconis:it worked!
well i can try that but that doesn't seem like the right deb driver for my older hardware
georgeph: i see
anyone here familiar with plymouth and the boot splashes? i cant get it to switch from the plain purple "ubuntu 12.10" boot screen
boxbeatsy...i am more interested in playing around with particular not generic drivers
iomicio, brilliant, did you learn where the error was? which step was missing?
boxbeatsy..but something happened to all the x configuration programs
let me finish the installation and I will tell you ;)
georgeph: i see....sorry, i'm new to linux so i'm afraid i'm not of much help :\...do you by any chance know why i woudlnt be able to incrase my resolution past 1200x800 on a 30" monitor?
blackness, i use a program called plymouth-manager
from what repo?
georgeph: i feel like it's definitely a driver issue, but i can't find instructions anywhere on installin ga new driver
boxbeatsy...well i don't know anything about that hires stuff..it is too expensive for me
boxbeatsy...i am just trying to get to a useful level of 3d stuff for emulation purposes
btw I have to press F12
boxbeatsy i don't know anything about that hi  res stuff
blackness, http://sourceforge.net/projects/plymouthmanager/
i found a repo for it
that doesnt seem to work lol
iomicio, so that was it then, just needed to select usb during post
boxbeatsy...i am just trying to get some lo res cheap 3d stuff workin
XiaolinDraconis: apparently yes
XiaolinDraconis: you guys rock!, I am so happy I can finally start
this is my firt Linux installation ever ;)
iomicio, you may want to see that video i posted, it really helps to have a proper boot order, in my opinion cd drives come first then usb then hard drives
XiaolinDraconis, do i need to delete text.plymouth?
iomicio, you will not be disappointed, i just hope you got the 12.04 and not 12.10
blackness, i never deleted any file, installed the program downloaded a theme, and selected it via the program
XiaolinDraconis: yes, I got the 04
i did that too..but its using /etc/alternative/text.plymouth for the theme..i can edit "Ubuntu 12.10" to whatever and it shows my changes.
iomicio, good, 12.10 is for advanced users, its cutting edge and often gets broken by updates
blackness, ive never went beyond changing to a new theme from gnome-look
i think im going to remove every theme, and see what happens..
boxbeatsy well that apt-get install fglrx stuff failed completely here
boxbeatsy...anyway i doubt if a generic driver would work for a specific old board...i need to have more flexibility with x
boxbeatsy...i don't know why they took out all the x config programs
please can somebody help me with compiling the Intel Graphics Driver
georgeph: i'm afraid i don't know enough to provide any valuable insights :X
ico24...good luck...after you get it compiled..how do you plan on installing it into x
please, do you know how to compile Intel Graphics Linux Driver
could someone help me get to foonetic?
i kinda new to irc stuff
ico124...well first i would look for a make file and also it will probably use some kernel headers so you might need to have that available too
ico124..i don't really know ...i can't afford intel stuff
hey guys, i'm trying to render with luxblend and i keep getting this error. "Command line argument parsing failed with error 'locale::facet::_S_create_c_locale name not valid', please use the --help option to view the allowed syntax."
the problem are the makefiles
Thank you all guys!
ico124...well they probably need to have kernel headers around anyway
ico124..but i can't say for sure...i can't afford any of that intel stuff....it still commands a high premium in the market
DaemonicApathy, i think i found the source of the problem
georgeph, enough with the extra commentary
bazhang...ok..just trying to see if he had any ideas about reconfiguring x
geogerph, thanks i will search in another channel
georgeph, stick to support ONLY. not what you can and cannot afford, etc
xiaolindraconis: Oh?
DaemonicApathy, when installing arch it told me something about error ill need to manually run mkcpio or something, i never did and while adding a custom grub entry i noticed i could not find initram or vmlinuz
bazhang: you have such a cheery way of getting a point across
bazhang...ok..well i can't support very much...i don't have the experience on lots of different hardware
almoxarife, I try
Makes sense.
georgeph, then simply do not answer
yeah, it helps when u remember what errors you had
did anyone see the error i posted?
Thanks for the info, xiaolindraconis. I actually intend to dual-boot Arch soon. </ot>
Hi all!  Is there a keystroke combo for cycling through screen resolutions?
dsnyders: Not by default, but you could always script one.
snyders...well it used to be ctrl-alt plus/minus...but that seems to be broken too and also ctrl-alt-bkspc doesn't kill x either anymor
does anyone know if there's a way to force display resolution other than xrandr (that failed)
somebody knows hoe to compile the linux intel graphics driver
how
DaemonicApathy, You vastly overestimate my capabilites :-)
snyders...they really butchered x
dsnyders: My estimate of your abilities is "the ability to use Google" until proven otherwise. ;-)
snyders...all the flexibility seems to be gone
Biomechd: thats such a specific error that you may not see a response, tried the fall back ? google?
im using 12.04, and i really miss the ability to open a file type with a command
is there still a way to do that?
georgeph, ctrl-alt plus/minus worked (number pad + and -)
Oh, nice. I thught that functionality was removed.
snyders..i wonder if it is possible to uninstall x and try installing an earlier version of xfree
snyders with maybe more flexibility
RNK6: can you elaborate on what you mean?
snyders ...does ctrl--alt-plus /minus work for you...it no longer works here
almoxarife, i'm confused. what do you mean, exactly?
georgeph, It would help if you put dsnyders instead of just snyders.  My chat program would then highlight your conversation
dsnyders...oh sorry about the misspelling
dsnyders...but ctrl-alt plus/minus no longer works here
i remember in my old ubuntu version (8 - 10, im not really sure) i could select "open with command" and enter a command to open a file with
under "open with"
dsnyders and ctrl-alt-backspace no longer kills x
dsnyders....they really butchered it for some reason
georgeph, np.  Yes, the ctrl-alt numberpad +/- seemed to cycle through the resolutions.  However, it doesn't fix my main problem: all I have is the desktop background.  No icons, no menu, nothing.
Where would I go to find out what version of ubuntu I currently have installed?
dsnyders...at least ctrl-alt f7 from ctrl-alt f1 still works
dsnyders..but that won't solve your question...x is just really butchered
how do i know which graphics card using my ubunut
Biomechd: well, that error you got, i could copy paste it to google and see what comes up and then offer you a link i 'guess' would be the most helpful, but you being a user of the app might see something more useful from the results if you did the same, still confused?
georgeph, ctrl-alt-backspace was changed a few years back because it interfered with handicap usability settings.
thanigaivel: do you have an optimus or similar?
dsnyders..oh well i was wondering why so much flexibilty has been lost
almoxarife, i kinda understand now
thanigaivel: lspci -nn | grep VGA
L3top: it says v00:02.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Intel Corporation 2nd Generation Core Processor Family Integrated Graphics Controller [8086:0102] (rev 09)
L3top: whats that mean
thanigaivel: is that the only thing it produces?
L3top: yes .
RNK6: Perhaps this is what you're looking for: http://askubuntu.com/questions/145243/where-did-open-with-user-defined-command-go
SierraAR, open your system monitor, click on the 1st tab. Or, in a terminal, give:  cat /etc/lsb-release
You have only one GPU so I do not understand your question...
thanigaivel: ^
I hear Ubuntu 12.10 has fde in the installer.  Any way to get this in the 12.04 installer? (I don't want to use the alternate cd)
kostkon, thanks. Another question - Is it better to stick with the 32bit version of 12.10, even though my hardware supports 64 bit (I originally had windows 7 64 bit on this laptop), or should I switch to 64 bit? I've gotten mixxed signals from google searches
Hello everyone!
DaemonApathy: thanks, that seems to be what i was looking for
Hi all. Not sure if this is the right place, but im trying to build a .deb package from a source tarball, using dh_make and then dpkg-buildpackge. Its erroring saying dpkg-genchanges: error: cannot read ../libffi_3.0.11-1.dsc: No such file or directory , anybody got any tips? I understand that the .dsc file is a debian source file?
SierraAR, my recommendation would be, if you can, switch to 64.
SierraAR, is there anything specific that concerns you, are you worrying about something that might not work on 64bit?
kostkon, mainly I've read that programs designed to work in 32bit won't run in ubuntu 64bit due to missing 32bit libraries
SierraAR, actually, ubuntu has had multiatch support since 12.04. It measn that you can run 32bit programs in your 64bit OS.
SierraAR: How much memory does the system have?
DaemonicApathy, 4 GB
SierraAR, or maybe since 11.10.
kostkon, ah cool, thanks. Is there a way to install the 64bit version without losing everything thats already setup?
SierraAR: I have to agree with kostkon - there's no apparent reason not to go with 64-bit.
SierraAR, do you have a separate partition for you home?
SierraAR, if not, then I think you'll have to do a clean install.
kostkon, I don't think so. I didnt set any partitions up when installing.
man that apt-get stuff is really broken here with fglrx
SierraAR, then, just backup and reinstall :/
12.10 ... how can I tell if i'm running in 2d or 3d graphics mode ?
stuff like no apport written because maxreports is already reached
apt-get seems very broken here
DaemonApathy: thanks, it worked
i have been struggling to get a hard drive to work
RNK6 what is wrong with it
i wiped it with gpart, but now it wont mount
RNK6 ..a moving parts problem...have you tried a solid state approach
hmm?
im a noob when it comes to low level stuff
kostkon, alright, thanks.
SierraAR, np
RNK6 but not sure if solid state really solves the moving parts problem...because it has limited write times
RNK6 ...storage is just an unresolved issue
RNK6...scratched CDs...blurays...don't solve anything either
i am trying to install 12.10 server with software raid but i'm confused about how to set up the partitions
all i know is that i stuck the pin thingy into "slave" and then started messing around with gpart because it apparently had wiping capabilities
ubottu...how do i find the private message
ubottu..ok..but that still doesn't answer my question...how do i find a private message
georgeph: what irc client are you using?
georgeph: it would depend on how you are connecting to IRC
ubottu..i see a 3 in the left side scroller...did you send me 3 messages...but how do i access them
georgeph: stop talking to the bot.
hahahahahaha
L3top..ok..but do you know how to access the 3 whatever they are
georgeph: you would have to answer my question for me to answer yours.
georgeph, stop being offtopic. its that simple.
can someone do a CTCP and see what irc client this guy is running?
georgeph, they should be in another tab on your chat client somewhere
bazhang...well i am trying to understand this ubuntu software
georgeph, and this is the Wrong place to chat about it.
bazhang...ok i just won't ask about it
bazhang, sending georgeph private messages won't help because he can't find the private messages.
is there a guide that could help me set up software raid during the 12.10 server installation?
i found one for 9.04 but when i set both partitions to / it won't let me write the changes
 georgeph is using Telepathy for IRC. Anyone have any idea how to access private messages in that?
chaingun...no the default program ubuntu recommends is empathy...but i don't have a clue how to use it
chaingun, georgeph, it looks like Telepathy puts each chat into a tab across the top.  georgeph, do you see a tab called ubottu?
dsnyders, it's empathy, using the telepathy lib
chaingun...no i don't see any table across the top..just a label for the channel
Ubuntu 12.10 ... I installed the CompizConfig Settings Manager, the Cube & A lot of other features are not on the menu ( I know, Compiz is Lame, but I like the Cube )... I've asked in the #compiz channel several times a day for the past week ... that channel seems to be all lurkers ( no disrespect intended ) ... can someone point me in the right direction ?
bazhang..ok i found 3 messages by you..in an envelope next to the speaker
bazhang..ok i found 2 more messages by that ubottu
bazhang and i found the third messenger to be some kind of channel report
Hello, I'm creating a bash that needs the usage of "sudo" but it asks for the password, is there any way to put the password on the source code?
bazhang ...now the weird 3 is gone on the left hand scroller
CrazyZurfer: run the bash script with sudo
CrazyZurfer: No, and it would be incredibly insecure to do so.
CrazyZurfer: What is your end goal?
My idea is to execute the bash by double clicking it in the desktop
CrazyZurfer: What is your end goal?
I need that to use that code everyday
and it's very boring puting the password aaalll the time
lol
bazhang...so it does appear to be able to receive private messages
CrazyZurfer: What does the script do?
bazhang..but x itself is just in such bad shape
CrazyZurfer: I will ask one more time for your end goal, and if you don't give an end goal I'll simply stop trying to help you as I don't have the time. If you're not sure what an end goal is, see http://www.catb.org/esr/faqs/smart-questions.html#goal
georgeph: could you state a problem that we might help you with?
georgeph, this is not a place to complain.  This is a place to ask questions and provide answers.
L3top...well it is still to early to find many problems...but right now..blender doesn't install...fglrx doesn't work with apt-get and x is really in bad shape
Gonna be doing that reinstall tonight. Anyway, had another question
ok, I want to start Lampp (Xampp for linux) every time I Turn on the computer. Actually the only way I know to execute Lampp is by executing a bash file. The bash file has to be executed with Sudo.
I need some help trying to mount a network share from my NAS.  I had it working once but now I can't get it to work.
Jordan_U: is that a smart question? :)
georgeph: your system does not see an ATI card... only an Intel... why are you trying to install fglrx?
CrazyZurfer: Yes.
The 'Main Menu' program that says it modifies main menus. Where's the menu that it changes?
CrazyZurfer, it's LAMP not LAMPP
L3top...i'm not sure what non-propietary driver is loaded...i can't see how to dpkg -i a specific driver for x
SierraAR, the new menu in ubuntu is the dash ;)  so it modifies the entries in dash and the launcher
CrazyZurfer: And now that I know that your end goal is to have a LAMP server, I highly recommend that you stop trying to use Xamp and simply install LAMP normally via the repositories (which will automatically configured it to start at boot).
georgeph: you aren't understanding me. fglrx is the proprietary driver for an ATI card... your lspci does not show an ATI card.
kostkon, weird, because the files and stuff listed in the main menu program arent anywhere in the dash that I can find, they dont show up when searching either
bazhang: actually it's lampp with 2 p's : http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp-linux.html
ok, i got the boot splash to work, but it doesn't show up till after its loaded the system, and displays for just a second before loading GDM, any ideas why?
L3top..nope lspci doesn't show anything but the kernel reports frame buffer allocation for the radeon
SierraAR, yeah, there are some new generation gtk menu utilities in the software centre that are written specifically for unity. Just do a search in USC.
L3top..i don't know what x is doing...and the configure programs all seem to have disappeared along with sample config files
SierraAR, 2-3 of them
Jordan_U: But, is there a way to do what I want?, because I've used xampp for a long time and now I'll have to move all databases, all the code and setup the whole thing again :S
L3top...but the kernel recognizes the card...but that is not a driver for x
georgeph: Lets start over. What physical cards do you have installed in your system? There is an onboard intel... what else...
SierraAR, and i meant gnome menu, not gtk menu :/
L3top ...it is an old 9200 crippled model called the se for cheap junk
kostkon, explains why I only got one search result, that being 'terminal' xD
Though that's probably not showing anything I'm looking for anyway
L3top...amd...assigns letters for defective gpus and shuts down some feature to make a little of it usable
CrazyZurfer: Yes, there are ways to do what you want (none of which involve storing passwords in scripts, or use of sudo at all). But Xampp is not supported here, and I don't personally have the time to walk you through configuring it to run at boot properly either.
georgeph: I would need more information than that... but the long and short of it is that if it cannot be seen by lspci, you cannot use it.
L3top...that is not true.
Jordan_U: Ok, thanks for your help ;)!
CrazyZurfer: You're welcome.
L3top...it is just that there should be some way to apt-get some configure programs for x
Ah well, not too important. I can just create desktop shortcuts
L3top..because it is really butchered
SierraAR, just search for "menu". Check this for example, https://apps.ubuntu.com/cat/applications/menulibre/
georgeph: Yes, it is, and it is why you are here. This is most of what I have done for the last 2 years, is automate driver installs for various hardware, especially GPUs.
anyone interested in a openbox of ubuntu?
L3top...well experimenters don't want anything automated...they need flexibility
SierraAR, but, it's only for 12.04 ok :/
L3top..and they have severely crippled the x platform
georgeph, thats not true. just stop it.
georgeph: I can give you every possible driver a card can use, but if the system cannot even see the device, it cannot and will not be used.
georgeph, this is NOT The complaints/rants channel. so just stop.
I need some help trying to mount a network share from my NAS.  I had it working once but now I can't get it to work.
bazhang...he is trying to help resolve an issue...but i don't see the flexibility needed to work on it
georgeph, who is he
bazhang...he is L3top
georgeph, stop saying x is crippled and other nonsense
georgeph: your system has to see hardware to use it. This is not a limitation of flexibility... something is wrong with the card or its seating/power needs
bazhang...it is not nonsense ...i remember when x was very flexible and very accomodating
Is there a way to install the drivers for a Epson workforce 465 all in one?
Sorry to be bashing you guys with so many questions - I just got ubuntu installed last night and still trying to figure it all out.
georgeph, just stop stating (false) facts and start asking questions. Otherwise, I think you should move your discusion to the offtopic channel.
The disk wants to run in wine, and I'm not sure I want to be installing printer drivers on wine
SierraAR, linuxprinting.org database is where I would check first
georgeph: the biggest problem with X is its archaic nature. What you are saying is nonsense. It has not devolved.
SierraAR, network or USB?
L3top...it has lost many many adjustable features
DaemonicApathy, wireless network
Jordan_U: Do you know any repo that has lamp with phpmyadmin? :)!
SierraAR, last time I went to System Settings > Printing > Add > Find Network Printer with a similar model, all I had to do was enter the local IP, and it downloaded drivers automatically.
no it hasn't, and your inability to install your card is not representative of such... at no time in history would your current situation work. Something else is wrong.
georgeph: please power down the system, and check that the card is properly installed.
L3top...it is installed fine...but i will power it down anyway to satisfy that request
DaemonicApathy, I'll give that a try then check the site bazhang gave me. Thanks
Any time.
L3top..the kernel recognizes it fine
last week I updated to ubuntu 12.10, and now whenever I boot, it fails to do so manually and says "failed to mount drive, hit S to skip..." Any ideas how to fix that?
georgeph, do you know the term PEBKAC?
L3top...let me power down now
CrazyZurfer: phpmyadmin is in the default repositories, no need for a ppa. Though I am not advocating the use of phpmyadmin.
kostkon, lets not go there please
bazhang, yeah, ok :P  just saying
gkatsev: So you can't boot anymore?
krababbel: it boots once I hit `S', but it waits for user-input on that screen.
it used to work just fine in 12.04 and 11.10 and 11.04
gkatsev: You'd have to show us the contents of the file /etc/fstab, and the output of 'df -h' maybe first. Probably something changed?
I dont think anything changed. Let me paste those someplace.
Jordan_U: sudo apt-get install lamp returns: not found
http://paste.ubuntu.com/
L3top..ok im back...how do you recommend i access a driver i tried to install with dpkg -i...i don't know where it put it
CrazyZurfer: Did you read the link from ubottu?
is 130gig too much swap space?
yup
OldOneEye, oh yeah
well... not complete xD
CrazyZurfer: http://www.howtoforge.com/ubuntu_lamp_for_newbies
http://paste.ubuntu.com/1359485/ /etc/fstab  and `df -h' http://paste.ubuntu.com/1359490/
Out of curiousity, why does 12.04 have 5 years of support and 12.10 only has 10?
 georgeph dpkg -i means I have this .deb located here, and I want to install it... again, until your system SEES the ati card, it WILL NOT work. If you are looking for something specific that the package installed, you can try dpkg -L or -S or locate.
Err s/10/2
thanks DaemonicApathy
SierraAR: 12.04 is specifically LTS - Long Term Support
You win this round, kostkon...
DaemonicApathy, :P
Ah, just a bit curious if that means .04 might be a better option than .10. What made them choose to make .04 LTS?
Iirc, every 4 versions are LTS.
10.04, 12.04, 14.04, etc...
CrazyZurfer: If you had read even to the first section, titled "To install the default LAMP stack in Ubuntu 10.04 and above" at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP you would have found the two commands required to intall a complete lamp stack.
hello all,
sorry for disturb
i want to install gcc 4.6
why?
but when i download the gcc debian package from web,
it can not installed
joehe, why do you need that
DaemonicApathy, makes sense I think xD. Does this mean .04 would be a better option or should I stick with .10 when grabbing the 64-bit version?
gkatsev: You can check if the UUID's are correct, output them with 'sudo blkid'
SierraAR: given the length of support, and the number of apparent issues, I chose to stick with 12.04.1 - your choice is your own, though. :-)
*issues with 12.10
because when i run a command
krababbel: I changed them in the paste, but when I hit `s' in the boot, they get mounted just fine on after boot/login.
krababbel: let me check blkid.
.04 it is. Probably better for a linux/ubuntu noob anyway xD
it said
`GLIBCXX_3.4.15' not found (required by /opt/semc-apt0.8-lib/lib/libapt-pkg.so.4.11)
joehe, what version of ubuntu are you on now
Thanks again, DaemonicApathy
SierraAR: Any time.
GLIBCXX_3.4.15 is in libstdc++.so.6
i search on the web , someone said GCC4.6.0 could solve the problem.
my OS is Ubuntu 10.04LTS
i am not sure how to install GCC 4.6.0
joehe, what version of ubuntu are you on, and why do you have something in /opt
krababbel: yes, UUIDs are correct.
that /opt is a third party SW
joehe, what software
joehe, try installing the "build-essential" package.
gkatsev: I don't know, check /var/log/dmesg or /var/log/messages ?
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install build-essential?
joehe, yes
it is a SW which we developed
L3top...the driver created some old directories that used to be used...like /usr/X11R6/bin...and there is an aticonfig program...but it wants to modify a section of the old config file which is completely missing...and may not even be recognized if created
joehe, whats the name, what does it do
L3top...so that is where i could use some specific pointers
it said
build-essential is already the newest version.
11.4build1
L3top...is it possible to just uninstall this x crap and try to install an older version of xfree
joehe, ok, now i get it. 10.04 has 4.3 but you need 4.6
joehe: sudo apt-get install libstdc++6 <-- if not yet installed try this, see if you get past your error
yes.
my current gcc is 4.3
krababbel: I think I found something at /var/log/boot.log let me paste that.
libstdc++6 is already the newest version.
4.4.5-8
joehe: are you compiling?
L3top...nobody wants or even can use auto stuff...they all need flexibility to accomodate all their individual hardware platforms
i guys, i am using irssi for irc chat. i want to take backup in to a text file , for a channel , can anyone give me quick solution please . Its urgent

bazhang: thanks
L3top...these are not windows users
gkatsev: I don't know the boot process that well, sorry.
krababbe1: ok, thanks.
http://paste.ubuntu.com/1359506/ anyone know why ubuntu complains that it can't mount these drives during boot (have to hit `s' to skip) but when I log in, it works just fine? Thanks in advance.
kostkon: could you pls help  me ?
should i downloaded a libstdc++6 package from web?
joehe, hmm, I dont' have anything else to suggest right now
* L3top would not try and install 4.6 on 1004.
joehe, maybe, if you could find a ppa for example that provides gcc packages for 10.04. Another option would be to upgrade to 12.04.
Hi. i need help to set the internet connection on a precise/quantal. It's my mom pc. In windows 7, you first must connect to the ISP wifi network. Than you dial up a pppoe  connection over the wifi. Once you setup this, they connect automaticly on login. On a fresh install of precise, I connected to the wifi network, but I couldn't find a way to connect the dsl connection.
sorry  what is 'ppa' ?
in ubuntu 12.04, how do i get a terminal with tabs?
or multiple terminals?
chalcedony, gnome-terminal
Or ctrl t
NeedFreedom: could be you need the pppoeconf package?
joeb3_, click on terminal and it moves to that window/ .. lets you drag it but it's still one
can someone tell me what it means to "enable the component called 'universe'"
chalcedony, click File, Open Tab
ak5: There's a repository called "universe" that you need to enable.  Just open the "Software Sources" program, and put a check in the box next to it.
got it :) .. now it can't find the printer driver file. it's not in Downloads
Gerowen: can you tell me the cli version of that? do I edit sources.list?
Yeah the Universe repository should already be in there, you just un-comment it.
Is there any reason the startup disk creator seems to crash near the end of mounting the 12.04 64bit iso to a flash drive?
ak5: By un-commenting it you just remove the pound sign # from the beginning of the line.
Gerowen: if its not (some crazy vps) then where do I get the correct string (12.04 LTS)
ak5: Lemme look around for you, I'm using 12.10.
krababbel: I tried the pppoeconf. It worked but when i reboot it broke the networkmanager. THe systems hungup 60 seconds waiting the network to setup then fails. The problem is this should be simple like it's in windows 7, in a way i can tell my mon on telephone how to setup if needed. This is a very basic stuff, but i couldn't make this works stright, and i'm googling more than 1 hour with no sucess
Gerowen: thanks a bunch, I am googling in parallel
Seems harder to find than it should. Is there a good ubuntu wiki?
  I install the ubuntu 10.04 and vnc4server, when I use vncviewer under XP to visit the server, I can't always see the desktop.when I get the "connection refused(10061)",if I ping ubuntu ip, I get TTL=255.
I am using ubuntu 11.10. How do i upgrade to 12.10 using iso mounting? I have downloaded ubuntu-12.10-desktop-i386.iso
michael: you may want to find a vnc board to troubleshoot that issue.
Hello! I've got a little pc I've saved from being thrown out. 2.66 GHz Pentium 4 D, Nvidia 7400GT, 1GB RAM. Will it run Ubuntu 12.10 well?
ak5: Well it could be
ak5: deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ precise universe
ak5: I just took mine and removed the "quantal" and replaced it with the name for 12.04
Gerowen: "precise"
Never mind me, I'm off to rest. -_-
DaemonicApathy: :P
* DBoyz waves
krababbe1: looks like it has to do with auto mounting NTFS partitions as `user'...
Has anyone ever experienced a value of 0.0 in /proc/cpuinfo for CPU Mhz, running Unbuntu server 11.10 within VirtualBox.
gkatsev: thanks :)
good luck
krababbe1: how to fix it, I have no idea, though. :)
http://pastebin.com/1DWS3jNT
NeedFreedom: looks like network manager has a dsl tab, you probably should have used that instead of installing pppoeconf then
Gerowen: lol seems to worl
/s/worl/work
gkatsev: Not sure, could be that the partitions are mounted at boot by fstab, and you want to mount again? You could try to replace auto with noauto in fstab, but I am just guessing. :)
find and ls .. nothing
what else can i use?
chalcedony, what are you trying to solve ?
Move to quantal and  sharing  printer on a network is not working.
krababbe1: I found this "/dev/sdxx /media/Windows ntfs defaults,umask=007,gid=46 0 0" which is slightly different.  noauto would probably solve it, except, I DO want it to auto-mount.
blackshirt, i want to find wherever brother printer software put their driver it's not in Dowloads ?
Alright so I'm having a small problem with mounting an ubuntu iso to a flash drive so that I can reinstall with a 64bit OS on my machine
krababbel: Yeah. Like I (tryed) to say, I used the network manager tab before trying the pppconf. I created the dsl connection. But it didn't startup it, neither I found anyplace (like the networkmanager menu to ask for dial up it).
chalcedony, you mean for installed or downloaded ?
the instructions in http://askubuntu.com/questions/125947/can-i-update-from-ubuntu-12-04-desktop-i386-iso-file doesn't seem to work
does anybody know where to get good info on airodump-ng when using linux
gkatsev: maybe replace the uuid with the /dev/sd.. ?
it requested for password. i keyed in my password and nothing happened next
blackshirt, i'm somewhere in the printer software installation. it's hard to know what the words should be
ak5: Glad it worked for ya, :-)
krababbel: As this installation is already f***ed up, I'll install xubuntu 12.10. But i suspect i'll have the same problem, because after this precise installation I tryied the quantal, but it was extremelly slow (like, 1 minute to open a window). And in the quantal I gotta the same issue
krababbe1: trying out "ntfs-config" if that doesn't fix it, i'll try /dev/ and the options in that line.
brb
NeedFreedom: looks like a network manager issue?
gkatsev: there is also the possibility to install the ntfs-3g driver and replace ntfs with ntfs-3g in fstab.
chalcedony, i don't understand whta you mean, sorry
Alright found another way to do this. Whats the full path of the home directory on ubuntu?
.. Nevermind. I feel derpy. /home.
krababbel: maybe. I think the expected behaviour is to give a option to dialup it . My ethernet (eth0) was down, so this can confused the network manager. But If it expect a dsl connection to be dialled up only on ethernet, it's wrong
NeedFreedom: yes, could be the combo of pppoe over wifi, never used that and I don't use network managaer at all.
seems unfinished in some areas
krababbe1: looks like ntfs-config did just that, re: ntfs-3g. Going to try /dev/sd...

 chull is my husband's computer
How do I turn off the network manager to use only the /etc/network/interfaces config????
Alright time to reboot and reinstall the 64bit version of ubuntu
hello, is there crucial differences between nat, bridging, and host only in vbox network type ?
needfreedom, you can disable networkmanager service at boot, or changes managed to false for network manager to not handle eth0 interfaces
hello, is there crucial differences between nat, bridging, and host only in vbox network type ?
Gerowen: can you pastebin your sources.list
Gerowen: I need to get all these repos up, I realized I have nothing
ak5: Ok, just remember to replace "quantal" with "precise for all yours.
ak5: http://paste.debian.net/209435/
hey guys, anyone not AFK? quick question here if you guys don't mind
I'm here
Hey Chemist, let me type in the Q... a little long
Gerowen: whats the difference between *-updates repos and th other ones
ak5: Not entirely certain, I haven't messed with mine since I installed ubuntu, there may be some from google that got added automatically, but that's it
ok
2 questions really (1) is it possible to have grub installed on a usb key, but the real installation of linux/ubuntu be in the real HDD? (link to the post i made on reddit for more clarification http://www.reddit.com/r/Ubuntu/comments/134x7c/trying_out_ubuntu_with_wubi_takes_a_long_time_to/c70yox0)
thrownawaytrash: yes, it is.
I am not entirely sure, I don't believe so I don't see a logical way it can happen. Someone with more extensive knowledge may have a different answer but I (non difinitevely) have to say no
There you go, ty Stanley00
alright. may have been possible in theory, but i guess it's probably too complicated to implement
thrownawaytrash: I have seen many people install grub to USB *by mistake* and they cannot boot into ubuntu when unplug the USB ;)
well, that sort of is like the idea. have a physical key so that i can boot it as well as leaving the bootsector of the HDD in tact. so that when i don't want to test out ubuntu anymore i can just reclaim the HDD space in windows
Here's something that's pretty cool, but I have a question about it.
http://workshop.chromeexperiments.com/stars/
It says that my video card does not support WebGL.  I'm guessing that's because I'm using the open source ATI drivers?
thrownawaytrash: sorry, but I have to go now.
well if it's not possible or very hard, second question is that. say I do a proper dual boot, partition HDD to ext and have grub in the HDD and all, how do I take the ubuntu out when I want to? last time I did this, grub installed BEFORE the windows boot loader and I coulndn't boot to windows. this guy here (http://www.reddit.com/r/Ubuntu/comments/134x7c/trying_out_ubuntu_with_wubi_takes_a_long_time_to/c716cph) says this is 
that's what I need to do to get back to proper booting order
How do I hold packages via apt?
thanks, stanley00
thrownawaytrash : are yoy installing a dual boot system with M$soft windows & Ubuntu ?
how can I make ubuntu 12.10 not enable click-to-focus every several reboots?
Can someone give me the syntax for 10.04 to install a driver for my wireless usb adapter
Gerowen: do you have chrome/chromium web browser?
and possibly a download link for the last (not current) driver for the Belkin F9L 1002v1 Adapter
thrownawaytrash: you thought about a wubi install of ubuntu?
quick question. I installed ubuntu server to play with a few weeks ago on my extra laptop but I now need the laptop. Is making work like ubuntu desktop (obviously with all the server stuff installed still) as simple as a apt-get install ubuntu-desktop?
almoxarife: Yeah I've tried it in Chrome and Firefox, it works in Firefox, it's just slow.  In Chrome I get the message telling me it doesn't support WebGL.
thrownawaytrash : when you remove ubuntu partitions ... use the Windows Install disk to fix the MBR
almoxarife: that was actually what i have right now, however booting to it takes several minutes, and was told that you get a performance hit since it's still installed on an ntfs partition instead of a linux one
Gerowen: i dont use chrome, o use chromium, i am not sure why there would be a diff in capabilities, but its worth a try, then again your graphics could just not support it after all, which is it?
Tex_Nick: just to clarify, boot into the windows CD, run command prompt and type in fixmbr, that's it, right?
almoxarife: I have an ATI Radeon HD 3100, which was left out of the loop for the latest proprietary ATI drivers, so I'm stuck using the open source ones, which seem to work well enough for me, but not well enough for Chrome to run WebGL apps, :-(
thrownawaytrash: do this, within win check the state of your ntfs system, checkdisk? defrag? , wubi has no control over the state of the ntfs system, yet it has to live in it
thrownawaytrash : yes ... that will get you back to a windows boot
Can someone give me the syntax for 10.04 to install a driver for my wireless usb adapter
thrownawaytrash : what version od win r u running ?
win7 home 64
Gerowen: I came in late on your issue here so not sure the exact problem, have you tried the nightly chromium build?
Gerowen: i ran wubi for a few years, minutes to bootup is just too long, something is not running right
Tex_Nick: i have the windows ISO already on USB too, just want to know if the procedure to get back to normal windows would be that easy
Gerowen: better yet, install virtualbox, install buntu as a guest, then be really cool and run seamless
dj_p3: I was just playing around with the new Google stars experiment at http://workshop.chromeexperiments.com/stars/
almoxarife: i will definitely do that.
dj_p3: It runs in Firefox, but lags, so I installed Chrome just to give it a shot, and Chrome tells me my machine doesn't support WebGL and doesn't even attempt it.
thank you all for the advice, might see me again  though. for now, work
thanks again!
almoxarife: I don't really like Windows, I don't have a single computer with a Windows partition on it, so running ubuntu as a guest on an Ubuntu machine would be kind of redundent, :P
thrownawaytrash : yep it's that easy ... i play with dual boots a lot ... win & ubuntu ... it's common practice
Gerowen: my mistake, wrong nick, dont be a purist, dont you even keep a copy of win on virtual? i do
Gerowen: Hmmm, i have the same problem,  it doesn't work in chrome and is slow with firefox.
hi guys
Gerowen: have you tried installing the drivers for your card via 'jockey'
my nvidia driver is not loading on startup.  i can modprobe it, restart the session manager and it seems to work, but the system refuses to load the module.  update-alternatives lets me select any of the several nvidia kernals i have installed but the system still refuses to load them.
is there any way to force the system to load the driver on boot?
any ideas how to disable click-to-focus? Ubuntu 12.10 keeps enabling it (against my will). I prefer focus-follows-mouse.
thrownawaytrash : if you're not comfortable with linux file system you might want to delete partitions thru windows ... if you're more comfortable with win
almoxarife: I installed "jockey-gtk", but can't seem to get it to open at all.
I installed it, but when I try to run it from the terminal it just tells me it's not installed.
alsamixer show "M0" under my speaker 1. Pressing m switches it to "0M". But I want them to both be the same, i.e. "00" or "MM", how do I do this?
Gerowen: What happens if you go to chrome and type in chrome://gpu-internals  ?

ms_: Please stop that.
ms_: take it to #test
i have tried to upload a  package into launchpad but when is missing 1 k to end the upload it stops and the task remains unfinished, does anyone have a clue about whats happning?
tester, if your answer has not yet been answered here you may find more help at #linaro
Jordan_U: ok,  it was just a test. But did u listen sth or ....?
ms_: This channel is for Ubuntu support questions, not for tests. Like almoxarife said, next time please use #test for tests.
so 11.04 no longer
supported
so what should i do now
alof_: what is #linaro?
can i upgrade to 11.5
well supported has always been a stretch for 11.04
linaro is the version of linux that 'tester' is running
alof_: got you,
:)
alof_: i dont think tester ever brought up 'arm' :)
Jordan_U: before I will use this I've to learn how to use this. I saw that this make some of u angry hein.... lol. ok I'll not repeat it again and again.... ok ok ok ok
almoxarife: linaro its a distro
so no one have a clue why my package isnt upload into launchpad...
simplew: clueless
sry simplew
humm no one is on that #linaro
hello i have a hp pavilian g series pc and running Black ubuntu my intergrated wifi card and dirivers are not reconized by ubuntu black
i'm in a dir that got deleted and created how do i "refresh" it withoute doing cd ..; cd mydir
tester: what is your ubuntu version?
simplew: The exact command you're running and its full output might help.
ubuntu black
dwarder: What's wrong with "cd ..; cd mydir"? You can also do: cd "$PWD"
tester: you can look at the channel topic to see we don't support ubuntu "black"...
tester, not trying to be rude but have you googled 'blackbuntu wifi troubleshooting' there seems to be a bandwagon for your issue
yes i counldent find it and thats not rude
tester: really? you are using sniffer/cracker/ buntu and you cant get wifi working? its time to downgrade a bit buddy!
Jordan_U: what if it is a long path?
tester, have you tried using the nvidia driver?
noway i like it im trying to learn it
oh im on a laptop
alof_: nvidia for wifi?
dwarder: Then 'cd "$PWD" ' should still work.
almoxarife, whoa, watchit buddy!!! lol
Jordan_U: i dont think will help in anyway but you can see it http://paste.ubuntu.com/1359681
almoxarife, it's after midnight
* alof_ needs sleep
Jordan_U: when misses 1k to finish upload it simply stops
simplew: Try asking in #launchpad.
Using udfstools/mkudffs, how can I add a "title" when creating a UDF image; "title" meaning the string that displays as the drive when the cd is inserted.
* alof_ chucks up some duces and heads to bed
Or does anyone know what that disc label is called? It's the equivalent of mkisofs -V "this label"
Aprel: just look at the man page, it's --vid or --lvid
Jordan_U: indeed thanks ;0
:)
so what's the spec required to the lastest ubuntu
dwarder: You're welcome
will the updater resume where it stop when connection drop
Stanley00: yeah, I saw that, but wasn't sure which. Wanted to dblcheck before creating and burning.
whatwhat: Yes.
My Precise has the 80 port open and Apache answers too. I never opened it and no applications asked me the permit. This means that if I'd a internal modem to connect directly to wan, for instance, all the word should visit my Apache server entering into my Computer. Why Ubuntu put in so in risk the users giving a false sense of security?
so what's the spec required to the lastest ubuntu
marsfligth: so, what you are saying is that 'apache' came preloaded on precise?
marsfligth: apache is not installed by default.
marsfligth: probably because if that wasn't the default, most people would complain that they installed Apache and can't figure out why it's not accepting connections.
marsfligth: and you of course did not install it, are you behind a router/firewall?
morning. is it possiblee to run ubuntu on a microsoft surface platform?
i dont have any touch screens so i dont have any familiarity with using linux of any variety on that platform
leftist: at the very least you should be able to run it virtual(virtualbox)
yeah
almoxarife: yes fortunately
is the platform that closed?
I get no sound from my headphones. This didn't work http://www.upubuntu.com/2012/04/headphones-not-working-no-sound-under.html
marsfligth: thank god you didnt open yourself to the world
btw is this freenode?
leftist, ask in #freenode
yeap, freenode
ok
:)
bazhang: still being mr wonderful, i see
almoxarife, pardon me?
bazhang: its called humor
almoxarife, care to PM with me?
bazhang: sure, give me a sec, i need to unset something
i've been running ubuntu on various platforms since hoary.  i currently have a few laptops with 10.10 and 10.04.  i know 10.10 is dead.  i don't dig the windows managers these later version default to.  i'm kinda out of date with the scene i guess.
my question is can i maintain my current 10.10 interface with whatever the current release lts ver is today?
i cant relate to the default interfaces i have seen. they suck.
leftist: No, but you can get something very similar from XFCE (Xubuntu).
This is an anomaly. Keep as exemple windows from xp sp2, before to open a port it asks if you agree or not even if it is apache or skype. So, the world is migrating to Linux because it is secure and what we discovwery? it opens wan ports ww/o ask to the pc owner. this is a terrible manner to abandon the users and during the time maybe be an insecurity like this should emigrate again them
yeah i looked at probably 50 different distros but i prefer 10.10/10.04 environment. so i am really stuck.
Anyway, using Precice I'm secure as if I'd using windows 2k more or less. It for instance opens the ports w/s ask
I get no sound from my headphones. This didn't work http://www.upubuntu.com/2012/04/headphones-not-working-no-sound-under.html
marsfligth: are you sure about that? I think it just open to *localhost* only...
great shot linux guys
marsfligth: If you don't have a support question please take this discussion to #ubuntu-offtopic or elsewhere.
Stanley00: No, it's definitely open to the world.
im morre than sure I teste wit nmap many times
nmap run on localhost?
marsfligth:  nmap run on localhost?
Stanley00: Installing Apache causes Apache to listen on port 80, for connections from anywhere.
zenmap is nice
Jordan_U: how about iptables, and ufw?
Jordan_U: then security questions are off topic? if yes this is the reason because Ubuntu is totally insecure
Stanley00: no, from another Ubuntu into my LAN
marsfligth: You haven't asked a security question, you've stated your opinion about a decision to configure Apache to listen on port 80 by default. We don't control the decisions of the Ubuntu developers, and you aren't asking a technical support question. Please take offtopic discussion elsewhere.
Stanley00: Ok, IPtables and ufw hardering the os, but i cant understand why the most insecure os in the world ask before open a port and Ubuntu not
marsfligth: OK, I got it. Now you can look at what Jordan_U said.
Ok, Thank you
marsfligth: file a feature request with ubuntu for the functionality. That is going to be more productive than trying to continue your discussion here.
oh, that's all right
Jordan_U: what the sense to speak about tecnichal question wile maybe some one is 'rm -rf' my system from wan. do you understant what i mean or have i to be more clear?
aha

How to password protect bittorrent in ubuntu for normal user
@leftist:very good!
jiltdil: it is password protected , the user has to log in with a password dont he?
almoxarife, Oh ! please understand my question
almoxarife, To open bittorent he need sudo privalages i mean to say
hello
jiltdil: to open the client ?
almoxarife, Yes
Jordan_U: come on Jordan, don't joke please. By google if one is not able to close the door find all instructions in minutes w/o ask here. the problem is not Apache at all, the problem is Ubuntu and how we speak about security problem in here, i think to pretend that an os asks before open ports putting the user in serius risks, this for me is a very big problem tath cant be solved by sending a nice mail to devoplers.
obyously the should ask only if many users ask the same. this should be my target
jiltdil: well, why don't you give the read and execute permission to the user yo want?
almoxarife,Means When a normal user in my machine want to open bittorent he will ask for sudo password
Stanley00,  For Torrent , how to do this?
jiltdil: you could make the client a 'root' only process?
almoxarife, Please tell how to do this
jiltdil: what is the command to run bittorent? chmod o-rwx command-here
jiltdil: but i am not sure what the outcome the output from the client would be afterwards, i am guessing the files become owned by root
jiltdil: then chgrp that prog, and add user to the group. that's easy.
StackProphet, almoxarife Ok i am trying
i like the idea of 'group' better, makes it cleaner
I have one (and only one) 12.04 system that's refusing to upgrade aptitude to the latest version, always saying it's been kept back.  The installed is 0.6.6-1ubuntu1 and the candidate is 0.6.6-1ubuntu1.1 - anyone know what's going on there?
almoxarife, what you mean with it ?
tonyyarusso: what happens if you do "sudo apt-get install aptitude" ?
Tm_T: aptitude : Depends: libapt-pkg4.12 (>= 0.8.16~exp12ubuntu10.3) but 0.8.16~exp12ubuntu10.2 is to be installed
tonyyarusso: it might tell you why it doesn't upgrade (missing dependency, conflict, etc)
there you go
blackshirt: <Stanley00> jiltdil: then chgrp that prog, and add user to the group. that's easy. <-- what Stanley00 said
tonyyarusso: next step, same summoning for that dependency to see why it doesn't upgrade
Tm_T: No higher candidate of that one...my mirror must be wonky.
Tm_T: wait, scratch that.
* tonyyarusso can't read
@ twins it's all about money. but you can't talk about it in this channel anyway.
Tm_T: There's a newer version but with a lower priority?

question: anybody know a how to; how to add Nvidia-settings GPU Scaling
Please Help.. Suddenly my root filesystem freespaces suddenly droped to less than 300mb. After restarting system, it shows 3.5 GB free. (deleted some unwanted files manually too). Here are some screenshots: nautilus properties- http://i.imgur.com/3UODg.png , System monitor- http://i.imgur.com/SbPGG.png , disk usage analyser- http://i.imgur.com/wgwAN.png
dixoncx: whats your question
Ben64: How to regain free space ?
by deleting files
you could also try bleachbit
Ben64: kindly check screenshots. naulilus shows used space in home as 3.2 GB, look disk analyser - it shows 19Gb used ???
dixoncx: run this in the terminal and pastebin the output - "du -h ~/ --max-depth 1"
what is the difference between apt-get remove and apt-get autoremove?
you use apt-get remove to uninstall a package,  apt-get autoremove  removes packages that were installed as dependencies that are no longer necessary
Ben64: here: http://pastebin.com/2HVvNH52 It shows: 18G     /home/dixon/
dixoncx: you must have a lot of files in your home directory taking up that space
Ben64: But nautilus says /home/dixon contains 18,370 items, totalling 3.2 GB
so? du shows it as ~14GB
Ben64: means ?
you have about 14GB of files in your home directory
dixoncx: no, you have 2.3gig of free space, as per nautilus
almoxarife: I agree, but this:  contains 18,370 items, totalling 3.2 GB
I don't know why you're arguing
Ben64: I want to delete all those expect this 3.2 GB from my home folder.
dixoncx: try this, reboot, and look at the result, does it change? i see what you are saying, there is a mis-match somewhere
who knows how nautilus counts it though
maybe it skips hidden files
dixoncx: but as Ben64 said, 'bleachbit' would help
dixoncx: where the command failed as shown in your last pastebin, those are root owned files in a user dir/folder, are they counted?
dixoncx: run nautilus as gksu, do the numbers change?
I don't even see the problem. du shows accurate numbers
<almoxarife>: they are online radio playlist files. Nautilus says: 12 items, totalling 0 bytes
dixoncx: that total is impossible, run 'gksu nautilus --no-desktop , see any diff?
dixoncx: who owns the files in this dir /home/dixon/Desktop/Desktop/Radio/Radio ??? btw, that is not a healthy looking tree,
<almoxarife>: 'gksudo  nautilus' says same, as /home contains:  18,385 items, totalling 3.2 GB. Also what is --no-desktop option ?
dixoncx: so that you dont start a nautilus desktop, dont want to have two
<dixoncx> <almoxarife>: they are online radio playlist files. Nautilus says: 12 items, totalling 0 bytes <-- what did gksu nautilus say about them? they actually zero content?
<almoxarife> ls -l of ../Radio: http://pastebin.com/8j6Ew09F
 gksu nautilus says same.
dixoncx: as it should
<almoxarife>: All those wired things happened with in just  2 hours. Before i had more than 50% free space in root file system.
dixoncx: if you don't mind us seeing all your files, pastebin "ls ~/ -hoaSr"
dixoncx: install 'fslint' look for dups within your home dir
dixoncx: you have the dir 'desktop' inside of the dir 'desktop'
<almoxarife>: yes
dixoncx: you have radio dir in radio dir too
<almoxarife>: "ls ~/ -hoaSr" shows -rw-------  1 dixon  14G Nov 15 12:03 .xsession-errors.old !!! Whats this ?
there you go
14GB
like I predicted
when installing ubuntu and windows7 as dualboot, which system is best to put in first?
jacta: windows
Ben64: wont the ubuntu install replace MBR with grub2?
almoxarife: yeah, thats how you'd want it
Ben64: you better tell jacta
some people wig when they dont see their win boot thing
<Ben64> <almoxarife>: why 14GB .xsession-errors.old in my system ? can i delete it ?
if you install windows second, it overwrites the MBR and doesn't give you a way to boot ubuntu
dixoncx: Yes you can delete it. You must have had a LOT of errors recently.
I'm trying to deal with a router which doesn't allow the dns  or dhcp server to be configured and I want to use a different dns server but then I can't access computers in my local network using their hostnames and since the dhcp server can't be configured, they will have different IP's from time to time. Is there a way of falling back to the router dns server when a name is not found, or to use the router dns server only for certain hostna
 so I can still use the external dns server, except when I want to access computers in the local network?
aristidesfl: router issue?
aristidesfl: you could either get a new router, or have a computer provide dhcp and dns services
I can't neither
that's why I'm trying to find a suitable configuration
<Ben64>: Thanks, deleted. 14 GB of errors !!
which allows my server to reach my laptop
almoxarife ISP router
aristidesfl: if you use the computer with ubuntu on it, it can act as a dns/dhcp server
almoxarife but then I will have 2 dhcp servers
aristidesfl: so you have a router then that does provide dhcp
yes
can't be turned off
aristidesfl: you want to provide dns?
it already dow
does
but I don't want to use that dns server
aristidesfl: which?
I want to use google's
I don't want to use the router's because it's configured with the ISP servers which are slow
aristidesfl: you want to use your own dns on your computer?
I want to use 8.8.8.8
aristidesfl: you want to use your own dns on your computer?
almoxarife I don't think so
i guess he wants dhcp to delegate googles dns instead the ones ISP has allocated
burtonium no
dhcp delegates router's IP
dhcp delegates router's DNS*
which is configured with ISP DNS
aristidesfl: you can set your machine to its own dns
so I want to bypass routers DNS except for certain hostnames
like the hostname of my laptop
needs to be resolved by the router's DNS
aristidesfl: so you do want to setup a dns(cache) at least on your machine
aristidesfl: or another machine within the network
I'm listening
aristidesfl: look at 'dnscache' package
how will that resolve the situation
how to share laptop  wireless internet with other computer using  the ethernet port
aristidesfl: you dont control the router it seems
I don;t
keep going
aristidesfl: you dont want to use the dns as per the router, you need to have something that will, BIND9 and dnsmasq will do that, i would not recommend bind9, unless you already know dns
aristidesfl:  what version of ubuntu you have?
almoxarife but how will my dns server know the hostnames of other computers in the local network?
12.04
aristidesfl: the host names to ip are kept in /etc/hosts
join #raspberrypi
almoxarife who puts them there?
aristidesfl: you should manually create A records and PTR records in your zone file... If you have own dns
aristidesfl: thats the easy part, unless you have alooooooooooooooot of them
aristidesfl: you do
almoxarife but the ips are random
assigned by the dhcp server
aristidesfl: random? within a internal network?
yes
aristidesfl: thats right, you dont control the router, if they are random i have no idea, that issue i have not had to resolve on this end,
http://www.mbpgsu.ca/mbpblog/files/2010/12/facepalm-500x400.jpg
Ben64, and would you suggest 12.04 or 12.10?
jacta: 12.04 has longer support, and will upgrade directly to 14.04
you can't simply solve your problem, since you don't control your routers dhcp and dns settings
Any reason why I can ssh but not sftp any longer with one particular user account on my server?
aristidesfl: are you saying that some comp on the network could have the ip of some other comp on the same network within days?
so you will have to get yourself a decent router or you can forget simple solution
almoxarife yes
every time I connect to the network I could have a different IP
your dhco server should have option to bind mac address to certain IP address
so you will always get same ip
it doesn't
aristidesfl: let me guess, you wifi in to it too
it's locked down by the ISP
call them to give you a password
burtonium: he does not control the router :)
of a router
almoxarife I control it
i know, so he should call his IPS to give him control
but it's locked down
you own your LAN
burtonium they wont
they can't own your LAN, no way
it's their equipment
aristidesfl: then you want to stop the random stuff, fix the machines to an ip
and they have a backdoor
aristidesfl: mac to ip?
almoxarife but then I have to re-configure it to dhcp when I leave the house
and then back to static when I arrive
aristidesfl: see the link you posted, good luck
can nay one naem good video,photo editor

Hi everyone, I was wondering if someone could help me out with a rather odd issue. I'm running Ubuntu 12.10 and occasionally have issues connecting to my WPA2-Personal secured wireless network
Sometimes, it connects, and other times it can't see any networks
Windows seems to work fine with it, however, which would lead me to believe it's some sort of driver issue.
Chartax: what is your wifi card? I had this problem with broadcom BCM 4313 before.
It's integrated with the motherboard, a Ralink 802.11 bgn 1T1R
How do I ask questions?
Leonard2: you did ask a question.
I noticed.  Thanks.
Chartax: did you try look at additional driver?
In the settings? Yeah, all I had was Nvidia stuff
I searched around and found a "driver" on their website
but I have no idea how to use the file I downloaded, or even if it's valid: it appears to be 0 bytes
I have downloaded the following drivers PrintSettingUtility, Smartpanel and UnifiedLinuxDriver from Samsung.  These are for my printer/scanner CLX-3185.  I don't know how to install these drivers under Ubuntu 12.10.  What do I do?
and has the name "DPO_RT5572_LinuxSTA_2.6.1.3_20121"
Chartax: can you run this command and pastebin the output "lspci -kv"
Stanley00, if I can't get on the wi-fi, that could be tough, let me see if I can work something out.
hi, guys, my firefox cost too much cpu when it is working on my ubuntu laptop, someone help? thanks.
Chartax: I think the file you downloaded must have some README or INSTALL file. you can look at that. Actually, I don't know how to deal with this ralink
Alright, on my cellphone now, please excuse any awful typos
jenenliu: use some other browser? there is gazzilion of them to try
brontosaurusrex: it is the same result when I use chromium
jenenliu, how much ram does your laptop have ?

OerHeks: 200G at least
wow
and i thought my 32G is cool
ram=system memory
OerHeks: I am sorry, 21G

jenenliu: Your laptop does not have 21 GiB of RAM.
Eric
yes
Does smooth scrolling work for macbooks running ubuntu?
is yahoo.com not rendering right in chrome browser?
Jordan_U: really?
Jordan_U: it is 21
jenenliu: I guess it's possible, but it's highly unlikely that you have 21 GiB of RAM in a laptop.

gordonjcp, nope it goes black too quickly
Jordan_U: I am sorry, so do you know why my firefox costs so many cpu, thanks
sica plese use paste.ubuntu.com so we can read the problem
jenenliu: No, I don't.
gordonjcp, oh wait i got the screen finally
Jordan_U: anyway, thanks
jmfurlott: at the boot selector screen it should just be in VESA mode
jenenliu: You're welcome. Wish I could have been of more help.

sica: you are missing libjli.so
I get that
sica: ok
but why? I installed java from sun
sica: compiling from source?
using jdk-6u37-linux-x64.bin
how do you set actions for mailto: links in firefox?
sica: why not installing openjdk from the repos?
lesshaste: something in about:config ?
sica: and there is no "java from sun"
lesshaste: http://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/change-program-used-open-email-links :)
brontosaurusrex: sadly no
I can't tell why, but I need to install the java from sun
sorry
from oracle
sica: ok
almoxarife: thanks.. it just seems to do nothing
lesshaste: what did you put in the box?
hi. To list all processes on the system, Isn't # ps -ef   enough? What does # ps -eaf  do?
hi. I randomly suppress the task bar (in kde). How can i refind it ?
almoxarife: I changed it to "always ask"
almoxarife: nothing happens at all sasdly
[the option -a in the man page does not make any sense to me]
actualy, I can find the libjli.so under /usr/lib/jvm/jdk1.6.0_37/jre/lib/amd64/jli
melvincv: -a does not show all but -A does. -a has two exceptions
sica: is that the installed package, the one that actually runs java?
does it matter if I set the resolution 1360x768 on a 1366x768 screen?
yes as far as I know
after I run sudo update-alternatives --config java
that's what I select
sica: but it seems like you are compiling from source
ix_: should not
what do you mean?
iceroot: but isn't # ps -ef enough? Do I need to add -A option to it?
sica: looking at your paste, 'make' is used in compiling from source, unless java does something different with 'make'
btw I've just installed the new Quantal, Unity seems faster...
yes
melvincv: -e              Select all processes. Identical to -A.
melvincv: and -f is just for the format, so its fine to have all processes
almoxarife: I managed to solve it, I copied the libjli.so to /usr/lib/
this seems to resolve the problem, but it's still a wierd behaviour
thanks !
sica: good luck,
Are you here?

@monkey dust you make it foolproof, which i greatly appreciate :)
i couldnt find that anywhere

tf198: http://pastesite.com/83825
thanks!
i will give it a try there
from dpkg -l skype*
zack6849: the alternatives system is an interesting bit of symlinkery
im a tad new to ubuntu
i can get around
but i get lost sometimes :D
caddoo: ah its globbing your deb file
caddoo: dpkg -l "skype*" -  with quotes
anyways, thanks fo rhtat wastrel :)
imma go ahead and leave now though

anyone know how to disable ctrl-scroll font resizing in konsole?

thanx, but that is for 2012a, 2012b is an upgrade, is it still ok?
or disable any font resizing on konsole
caddoo: I think you were globbing your installer with the purge as well
right
so the uninstaller is broke?
blaz_, i have no info on 2012b
thanx anyway :D bye
:O Ubuntu need defragmenting? How do we do that? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1434502
Hello all.. I have a problem that the scrollwheel on my mouse is pasting from my clipboard when clicked... This is really annoying when scrolling through a large file and accidentally pasting stuff everywhere.
Any pointers? ^
hey. how can i search in my directory for a subdirytory?
*subdirectory
Or does Ubuntu auto-defragment the HDD?
tf198: is there anything i can do to resolve this
caddoo: when you do dpkg -r skype you get 'ignoring request to remove skype which isn't installed'?
tf198: dpkg: warning: there's no installed package matching skype
caddoo: your deb database is a bit messed up then
right
well i'm gonna format on the weekend, so ill leave it for now.
caddoo: you might have to hold out for someone with a bit more knowledge of the dpkg system - I dont want to bork your system :)
thank you for your help tf198
caddoo, to remove orphan dependencies, try sudo apt-get autoclean
no luck OerHeks, thank you though
cleaned up somethings though
caddoo  try sudo apt-get autoremove

package management can be such a...err... interesting  problem.
to put it nicely.
I'm confused. Some say Linux filesystems do not need defragmentation. Some say they do.
whattayaknow! downloads on ubuntu-tweak.com are discontinued
caddoo: does dpkg -C give you anything useful?
melvincv:  ive never had to defrag one. they basically auto defrag i guess..
melvincv  just sent you something, see what ubottu says
melvincv: in general, you don't (but that's oversimplified)
I read that the inode table does not get fragmented. Doesn't mean that the actual data is also contiguous.
MonkeyDust:  got it from a ppa just the other day..  not heard any news about it
yes tf198!
could be they went 'ppa only' to get ubuntu-tweak now

what is the command to see the current time of the system?
angs: date
angs  date
angs  it's the subject of jokes, you have to type date to see the time
caddoo: Hopefully the 12.04 multiarch deb will behave itself
caddoo: Just tried it on my 12.10 and it worked fine
MonkeyDust, jrib: thanks. I am trying to correct the time of my system: I type "echo "Sweden/Stockholm" | sudo tee /etc/timezone" then  "sudo dpkg-reconfigure --frontend noninteractive tzdata" . However it outputs Current default time zone: 'Etc/UTC' Local time is now:      Thu Nov 15 11:22:45 UTC 2012. However, the current time in here is 12:23
what version is it
how can I fix it?
melvincv, ubuntu-tweak
could it be related to winter/summer time?
caddoo: skype-ubuntu-precise_4.1.0.20-1_i386.deb
tf198: I just tried got skype 2.2 (beta)
caddoo: http://beta.skype.com/en/download-skype/skype-for-computer/
angs  read this https://wiki.ubuntu.com/TimeAndDate
angs: try Europe/Stockholm
jrib: Europe/Stockholm fixed it. Thank you
angs: yeah, it's probably easier to just run "sudo dpkg-reconfigure tzdata" and then select from there
thank you
hi all, i have a problem with an init script. I have ubuntu server 12.04.1 configured to have, in /etc/event/tty6.conf i commented the last line and replaced with exec /sbin/agetty --autologin ale tty6 . I then added, to my profile in bash, the famous if that checks if $DISPLAY is NOT defined and if i am in the tty6 (via $(tty) ) and then starts x with exec startx . I am _sure_ i go inside the correct if (i touch some debug files around and they
i have removed all login managers, i have dpkg-reconfigure'd x11-common to let all users startx
any suggestions? thanks in advance
uovobw  there's also #ubuntu-server
MonkeyDust: argh, didn't know, will join and ask there as well, thanks
uovobw: your message was truncated at "debug files around and they ..."
jrib: following: debug files around and they get created upon boot) but i _always_ get an x error about the server already being active for display 0.
i have been looking at this for a couple of hours now, i am testing with env to see if DISPLAY was already set (it's not) i have checked all the possible *getty programs and they all log me in successfully on tty6
How similar is Gnumeric to Microsoft Excel?
and the if is _always_ executed , but startx (or xinit itself) always error out
uovobw: I suggest pastebinning the full script and your bash file
jrib: the problem is i have the script on a remote machine that i can atm access only via VNC and then putty from there, so it would be hard for me to do
uovobw: the machine does not have internet access?
jrib: it does not, i am VNC-ing to a windows machine that acts as a router, then ssh via putty from there
uovobw: can't you use winscp on the machine where you use putty to copy the files over to the windows machine and then pastebin there?
uovobw: also, I would save the full output you're getting on the tty somewhere and pastebin that too
jrib: the problem is i cannot install new stuff on the windows machine... but that script is not the problem, i am sure i always get in the correct if in the .profile file end execute the right commands, but both startx and xinit behave as if another X was already running (when there arre none)
note that if i run startx or xinit by hand via ssh, it works perfectly
uovobw: there's some putty-related program that will let you copy files too.  pscp or sftp perhaps
jrib: i see,i'll check what i can do, thanks for your time
uovobw: I don't see any reason for what you describe not to work, thus why I ask for more details :)
laurus: It contains a subset of the features of Excel, it depends what you need to do with it
laurus: OpenOffice has better compatibility for working with Excel documents if you have existing files
laurus: *LibreOffice
Touhou11, well, I need to use Excel for work, but I don't really feel like reading a 1000-page book on it. So my plan was to read the Gnumeric manual, read the VBA chapters of this Excel book, and assume I can just use Excel with that knowledge. What do you think?
can someone point me to the torrent download of the versions, having hard time finding it
http://torrent.ubuntu.com:6969   Ard1t
Ard1t  or this http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/alternative-downloads
laurus: It's similar enough that you could probably learn that way... there's a lot of similarily between the programs. If you want to play with programming and spreadsheets, LibreOffice lets you write in a version of Basic which is fairly similar to VBA, so the concepts would translate
bazhang, MonkeyDust thanks
Touhou11, thanks! Yeah, I am so used to GNU/Linux that I don't really feel like investing massive amounts of time into something like Excel. Also, I think their "ribbon" menu bar is stupid. :P
laurus: I prefer the Ribbon myself, makes things more discoverable
MonkeyDust: just out of curiositi
Touhou11, well to each his own! There's so much junk jammed in there, I guess maybe I just hate the way it looks.
MonkeyDust: just out of curiosity, where is the link to the alternative-downloads
because if i go through normal surf i can't find it on downloads
how did you find it basically?
12.10 dosent have an alternative cd. the minimal cd has a similer function i think
if thats what you are looking for
dr_willis: no, he means alternative ways of downloading releases (torrents etc)
hello ?
yello larryhu
no i was looking for the server version but i want it to download through torrents, which i'm settled on now, but i couldnt't find the link for download
hi dr_willis
Ard1t  scroll down http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/alternative-downloads
i wonder why the torrent.ubuntu.com site had  6969 for a port
MonkeyDust: its all good just wondered how did you get the link as i can't surf it out anywhere on the webste
website*
larryhu: this is a support channel for ubuntu
yes , i know
I love ubuntu
do you have a support question?
but it hasn't qq
Touhou11, asking for torrents is certainly not offtopic
larryhu, empathy supports qq
Touhou11, Stop that
lmao
Touhou11, i guess i was out of topic, right
Ard1t, not at all
empathy not support qq'2012 protocol

cn ne one tell me wht is this error n how to solve [/bin/sh: gmake: command not found ]
i need a soft ,  can In the local area network to transfer files
cn ne one tell me wht is this error n how to solve [/bin/sh: gmake: command not found ]
C0deR:  install gmake?   try 'gmake --help'
C0deR, no need to repeat
ok ..
alright then, we'll have a run at this approx in less then 30min, we'll see how it goes, thanks folks
larryhu, yes?
i did apt-get gmake
if its not installed the 'gmake' command should show you wnat package to install to get it
yeah i want to install
I need a soft that can transport file in LAN . can you help me ?
if you are compiling stuff you most likely want the build-essential package for starters
larryhu: ssh
When i install 10.04 from cd everything is fine, when i upgrade to 12.04.1 i get weird issue's: Screen is randomly put in standby, UI freezes and crashes
 @bazhang I need a soft that can transport file in LAN . can you help me ?
larryhu:  rephrase  that...   if you want to transfer filrs from pc to pc over the lan. ssh is handy with scp
When i install 10.04 from cd everything is fine, when i upgrade to 12.04.1 i get weird issue's: Screen is randomly put in standby, UI freezes and crashes
thnk you guyssss
brantje:  may be better to just do a clean install of 12.01.1 directly
How?
@ALL , but ssh ...,
Because, i don't have any clean dvd's
get a 12.04.1 cd....
or usb.,
or set up grub to boot the iso..
if linux transfer file to windowns , ssh is bad!
larryhu: Could always try Samba
larryhu:  winscp works fine on windows.
ssh is bad?
ssh is good...
larryhu: re-read the factoid, it mentions putty
for simple file transfers  and no need for 'shares'   ssh/winscp works well
filezilla and filezilla-server is also good choice if you want server on windows side for some reason. But better is have server on linux side and use scp / filezilla client on windows.
larryhu: If you're doing regular backups on a LAN, rsync is best
okey , thanks all
yes  rsync ,linux - linux
or nfs for linux to linux
i tend to just use ssh and sshfs
I use rsync on Windows too, though it can be annoying to find a decent binary version
Touhou11   yes
what are you play in ubuntu ?
no , no , I don't need game

eh oh!!!! I download files from Transmission, and I have a good rate of bandwith with internet, but I don't know why my download is SO slow???? :(
ms_: Maybe there aren't many seeds for the particular file
bye  all
there are many peers, and shows that downloading is well!!
ms_: Many ISPs speed-limit torrents at certain times, could be that
ms_  or the peers may be slow or very busy

if mplayer isnt playing correctly (its using driver x11 (slow) whats the best driver to try for h264 video
devswap: vdpau :)
or opengl
devswap: vdpau if you have nvidia, opengl or xv
MonkeyDust, alsamixer? on Ubuntu 12.10?
for all of you, I'm not very good with english and sorry if theere are mistakes hein!!!
pretty much in that order
patr|ck: yes?
patr|ck  yes, in a terminal
bkc_: well its in a vm so not sure how the video driver affects that but thanks will give it a try
devswap: If you're running it in a VM it's probably gonna be dead-slow anyway... start by turning 3D-acceleration ON in the VM-settings :)
what   vm are you using?
(in VirtualBox that would expose opengl 2.1 capabilities)
for all of you, I'm not very good with english and sorry if there are mistakes hein!!!

rnamF:  what ubuntu relesse?  3.6.6 is the latest in 12.10
Hello, I will take it in short
I have added path to <program> into PATH.
# <program>  //runs ok
# sudo <program>  //command not found
# sudo echo $PATH  //path to program is there
Thanks for advice in advance
10.4
should i update to 12.04 ?
btw running Ubuntu 12.04 LTS
rnamF:  dependsa on your needs.
i just need to update samba
that's all
rnamF: I'd suggest upgrading to atleast 12.04... depending on needs :)
rnamF:  i always use the latest.
rnamF: 10.04 desktop support ends in april 2013, up to you
i've already used the PPA repository before
even comming here
but still it will only install me 3.4.7
you could always use source.. but thats a bit extreme
instead of one above 3.5.6
and 10.04 is getting old
yeah i'm thinking about it already
whats in the newer versions of samba that you need so badly?
bug resolution
on samba version
if you are making a box thats just a samba fileserver, there are dedicated distros for that sort of task alsao
i know
i would install another crap on this
its not my machine.. :/
ive no idea how hard samba is to compile. and what other implications that may have.
it would definatly be a 'you are now on your own' situation
ubuntu 12.04.01, smbd Version 3.6.3
for a long term answer  - upgradeing to 12.04.1 would be best i imagine
assuming the upgrade dosent break other things

Does anybody know if there as an irc-room for google chrome (the browser)? Or did anybody else have a problem no sounds being played in the latest Chrome-versions and solved it?

Mrokii:  do webm videos from youtube work? or is it all sites?
It's not only YouTube and I thought that I had switched YouTube to webm, but I can check.
is someone know how to create .pyc in python?????
that pavucontrol panel tool may let you tweak some things.
Mrokii:  not all youtuber videos are in webm so it may be playing in flash even if yiu got it set to use webm/html5
...
is someone know how to create .pyc in python?????
ms_: you just run 'python file.py' and python will create the .pyc
It's only chrome that has this problem though. Other browsers work fine.
Maybe I should try to switch to an earlier version of Chrome.
somsip: normally it's like that, but I don't know why there isn't!!!
somsip: it's making .pyc with some files but not with others O_o
ms_: then #python might be a better place for you to ask
somsip: ok. thanks. I'll ask there.
dr_willis: Okay, it's the crome version. Chrome stable works without problems.
there ya go ;) time for a bug report.
Yeah, seems so. :)
who's here?
hello!

blackshirt: to register where??
blackshirt: to register how??
<monkeyDust> it says "cannot send to channel"
sam__  the register first
then*
listen! its a linux issue
i believe u can help
sam__: this is #ubuntu, you need to go to recommended channel
sam__: goto #freenode ... they can help you :)
sam__  backtrack is differet from linux, it's for network intrusion purposes, not for a beginner
Its about configuring ethernet on linux. I understand, but its fine i believe.
sam__  backtrack is differet from ubuntu, it's for network intrusion purposes, not for a beginner*
sam__: if its a linux issue try #linux but since you use backtrack most will recommend #backtrack-linux
okay! thanks all! <over and out>
is someone here know how to register to #python please
ms_: ask in #freenode for freenode specific questions
ms type /msg nickserv register [password] [email]
I still need help with my previous question. Just informing

yeah
Looking for some assistance with Ubuntu 12.10
ok
what u want to know ?
I have a Lenovo M91P and I am running 12.10 x64. The systems runs great but when I leave it on over night it is a ticking time bomb. When I come back to work in the morning, it may be locked up and it takes out out computers network
So everything plugged into the same switch stops responding on the network.
thank: advice of shuting down at the end of the day aside, what do you mean by locks up?
is there a linux app that will monitor blog feeds and auto-download any mp3 or audio files attached?
is there any way I can make my Ubuntu stop nagging me about upgrading to 11.10?
even if I click "No, thanks", at regular intervals the dialog box pops up again.
masak: turn off update checking?
* masak tries that
masak: I forgot where the option is though, and I'm not sure if it will actually work
hold please taking a phone call
jrib can you help me mount an iso
i installes furius iso mount and mounted it, but it doesnt show
Erik_D: found it. thank you.
Hello, I have edited /etc/sudoers.d/README with gedit. I have miss-typed so my sudo does not work anymore. On google I have found that I can boot to recovery mode and fix it from there. But there is only possibility to run root-shel, but I dont have root enabled -> I am not able to run it. Does anybody know how to fix it? Ubuntu 12.04LTS. Thanks in advance
Shima: edit it back through a live CD?
README?
jrib what is mountpoint?
README shouldn't render your sudo useless
my DVD-ROM is not quite functional, so I cant burn one :/
Bier_: just any directory you want (and have write permission to).  You can create a new directory if you wish and use that
so I type in something like E:\
?
There must be at least one file in that directory -> now this one is mulfunctional
Kartagis: it might
Shima: Kartagis raises a very good point... What else have you edited?
^wut
yeah, wut?
 /etc/sudoers.d/README should get sourced afaict.  It's just all commented by default though
e ai gente
hi all, i am trying to install super-boot-manager on 12.04 (64bit), in the terminal: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ingalex/super-boot-manager and then sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install super-boot-manager, but it says: E: Unable to locate package super-boot-manager, any idea?
it is wriiten in that file
which is best mac theme for ubuntu 12.04
Shima: just boot recovery mode and undo your changes
jrib: isn't the file to be edited /etc/sudoers?
what should I choose in recoverz?
Bier_: this is linux, not windows. Drives don't get named like that. you could mount it to something like /home/yourUserName/Desktop
Kartagis: yes but /etc/sudoers has this in it: #includedir /etc/sudoers.d, which will in turn source files in /etc/sudoers.d/ (and README explains more details)
Shima: root shell
I have root not enabled
jrib: it is commented out, no?
Shima: that's fine.  That means you'll just get a root shell.
* I dont have root enabled
Kartagis: I think that's the proper syntax.  Not sure.
It needs password, I have tried mine, none, and some others and nothing worked
Shima: it would only ask for a password if you set one.
jrib: if it were, all lines would have been processed
for me, but root is diabled by default and have no password
Kartagis: presumably he created some sort of syntax issue in the lines being included from README
Shima: thats the way its meant to be on ubuntu
Shima: recove mode will only ask for a password if you set one for root
I gues I did not set one
Shima: (this includes setting one and not properly undoing it)
Shima: if you can't get to recovery mode then you either need to use the init=/bin/bash trick or a live cd.  Others can help you with that as I need to go.
thank for advices guys, I will try them
okay I am back
'single' user mode is similer to the init=/bin/bash method also
Let me give a little more background
Still have people looking blue on youtube , I turned off hardware  decoding in firefox .  What do I do now
I am an network and systems manger and this Ubuntu computer is used to run multiple virtualbox's
I have always have great luck running Ubuntu desktops and servers
tarelerulz:  i recall the adkubuntu.com site had several 'fixs' for it. all i had to do was disable 'hardware accelleration'
tarelerulz, Is it just youtube?
okay sorry

tarelerulz, incase no one mentioned yet... the latest flash is only available for linux on google-chrome
My system locks up during the night. when I come in in the morning, video, keyboard, and mouse are unresponsive. all computers on the same switch are off the network.
i can only send files from ubuntu but i can't send files from the phone to the pc
domie:  why use bluetooth? wifi will be much much faster
because android can't see my adhoc connection :(
How do you even tell what version of flash you have?
Hi all
domie:  ive also seen alternative bluetoth clients for android ive had to use for some problem machines/phones to transfer files
domie:  was using one called 'bluetooth file transfer' last week. worked well for an old phone i was having issues with. astro file manager also has a bt module
anyone having problems with Package plymouth 0.8.4-0ubuntu3?
hoe to study ubuntu?

in ubuntu 12.10 how do i get into gnome
start sound don't work please help me
install the gnome-shell package i think basketballstar
if you mean gnome shell  ;)
what is better nome or ubuntu default
webupd8 or omgubuntu had an artical on getting the full gnome-shell experience
basketballstar:  try them both. decide for yourself.
basketballstar  guess you mean gnome-shell -- depends on what you like most
unity is using gnome.
is it impossible to mount a game iso?
what is the other linux os
wireless as well
popular
basketballstar  distrowatch gives somewhat an idea of popular distros
im trying to mount fallout 3
i got it mounted, but it comes up blank
hm nevermind other games seem to work
cindirella,  enter lsusb in terminal paste the results in http://paste.ubuntu.com/
dr_willis,  how do i get linux mint in ubuntu
basketballstar: you don't... mint != ubuntu :)
can anyone help with a 12.10 system locking up?
start sound doesn't wok yet
start sound doesn't work
basketballstar  choose either mint or ubuntu, they are different
basketballstar:  there are repositories for some of the mint tools you can install in ubuntu. but i dont see the point in it
basketballstar:  i suggest spending  a month or  with normal ubuntu and unity befor messing with other things
Does anyone know how to disable "grouping" of app windows in the alt-tab window switcher?
i have had normal ubuntu for a long time
wide_awake:  it msy be a setting in the compix tool settings.   but i dont know where
dr_willis, I poked around in there some, but didn't find anything
'ccsm' has all sorts of settings you can tweak. use with care. i would check on askubuntu.com also
test
dr_willis, will do, thanks
they may point to the right place
wide_awake  try this http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2012/11/unsettings-a-comprehensive-tweaking-tool-for-unity
ive not explored usettings much ;)
it would be nice to have a modular/expandable 'tweak/setting' system  so we dident need 3+ different tweak tools
MonkeyDust, looking, thx
and make it searachablle via dash/hud
dr_willis, +1
:)
right mouseclick in gnome3 panels would be nice
too confuseing. ;)
dr_willis, do you know what "<primary>" means in the keyboard shortcuts in CCSM?
isent thet the normal mouse left button?
 #compiz may know better
what language is that?
MonkeyDust: Sounds like icelandic - but not sure ;)
it is icelandic ..looks like danish/swedish...sort of :)
google translate says, that his text does not have much to do with ubuntu ;)
bah, there's a setting in compiz to make it worse (and *never* expand the collapsed app windows)
nothing I can see to make it better though :(
hello, is there a way I can connect my android phone to ubuntu (via wire) so I can download or upload files
?
netzsooc, you need to install an mtp program (assuming you have android 4)
older android have a usb mode. works same as a flash drive would
or use wifi. that would be faster
sorry, I made a mistake and got disconnected, so what where you saying about mtp?
older android have a usb mode. works same as a flash drive would
or use wifi. that would be faster
depends on the phone
so to install this mtp is just like sudo apt-get install mtp?
whats your specific phone?
it is an lg l5
only newer phones need the mtp stuff
with ICS
omgubuntu and webupd8 blog sites had some guides on it
googled for them but didn't find, I will regoogle, thanx
ive only dont it wired once. saw how wifi was faster. ;)
http://shkspr.mobi/blog/2012/01/connecting-samsung-ics-to-ubuntu-using-mtp/
how to sync via wifi?
hola
i jusy copy files/back/forth same as i would a pc
anyone have this error before? I am trying to start virt-manager and get ImportError: /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/libxml2mod.so: symbol xmlFirstElementChild, version LIBXML2_2.7.3 not defined in file libxml2.so.2 with link time reference
I do have vmware worstation installed
but then, I would need to root my phone, don't I?
netzsooc:  root to copy files? err... no...
i copy my pictures/muzak/videos back and forth.
you can do it a dozen different ways over eifi
wifi
ok I will google about that, haven't thought about that... thanks a lot
samba server and astro file manager. is one way.   ssh and a scp client on android is another way
so I could make my ubuntu box a ssh server
ftp can work. ;) then theres various web-file-server tools on android
and then use android as client?
and i'm here to ask for the same question again: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2084342
ssh server = trivial to setup
several ssh clients for android ;)
many file managers got the features also
yes, yes... I think I know how to do that
thanks a lot

Hey! I got a question about webapps in 12.10. Is it possible to remove the unity icon but still have the "messages menu"  activated for facebook?
hi all, i am having this issue with chromium and html5 video.  any ideas?  (not my thread) http://askubuntu.com/questions/211543/youtube-playback-in-chromium-ruined-by-snow
Whats the command in terminal to run a .run file?
SierraAR, Make it executable and ./thefile
SierraAR, if that made any sence to you?
fyksen, so chmod -x file.run, ./file.run?
SierraAR, in 2 commands yes
first chmod -X file
then ./file
So this is what comes up when trying to run the file using the instructions fyksen gave me:
http://paste.ubuntu.com/1360396/
err +x
Ah that makes sense, +x instead of -
Thanks dr-willis
dr_willis*
you messing with the nvidia .run drivers?
hello, i'm new at this.....how do i use this?
hail, this is ubuntu support
hail  use what?
hi is it necessary to increase memory swap in netbooks running ubuntu
hail, if you have a support question, ask and if someone knows they will answer
i just can ask things here for some help?
hail, related to ubuntu tech support, yes
hi is it necessary to increase memory swap in netbooks running ubuntu?
neil, whats the current swap, and how much ram
1gb ram current swap is set to 10
how can i disable the iptables firewall?
neil, thats already way too much
neil  10GB swap?
Nice. have only 1 at this time. How do i add a folder in nautilus, not under bookmarks but under computer?
dr_willis, installing teamspeak 3
hail  right click, new folder
dr_willis, and trying to learn how to use Terminal by doing as much as I can with it
hail  or what do you mean?
so what is suggested for one gb ram
buy more?!?
neil, one gb or two at most
when you open a folder...in the sidebar....
hail  yes, then right click in the right panel
so what is the vAlue?
neil, one, or two at the most
so when i go "cat /proc/sys/vm/swappiness" it should appear as 1?
neil, vm?
monkeydust, does not work ,only can open or delete, rename folders
cat /proc/sys/vm/swappiness when i type this at the terminal result is 10.
neil, thisis a vm?
* BlindTravel loves irssi
i dont even know what a vm is i just followed some instruction on how to speed up my netbook on some forum
bazhang: in this context i think it means virtual memory
neil, a virtual machine, such as vmware/vbox
ThinkT510, ah ok
hail  start from the beginning, what were you doing or trying before you came here
oh K
so what should appear if i go cat /proc/sys/vm/swappiness
neil, that wont speed things up much
Any idea why ubuntu doesn't seem to detect the two extra buttons my mouse has?
i see well i'll just change it back to default which is 60 then
so what is the best way to speed up my netbook with 1gb RAM
use something like lxde/openbox   lubuntu neil
neil  i use preload and prelink
Monkeydust. maybe i must be more clear. i can add a bookmark and then it gets placed under  bookmarks. but i want to add folders under computer, like the video, home, documents folders
ok
but i like unity so much hehehe
lubuntu-desktop package will give you that neil
NX performance:  My old laptop running NX has a much faster refresh/response then a Linux kvm-vm system also running NX?  Anyone have idea why the laptop responds so much faster?  The host running the vm is doing little to nothing/idle.
then choose from the login window neil
ok so i will install lubuntu environment and it will give me the same interface, am i right?
neil, a much lighter one
commandor
hail  for anything outside /home, you need sudo -- try sudo mkdir blah in a terminal
hi All !
:D
but the interface or the desktop is gonna be different right
neil, that is correct
neil, just curious - why were you playing with the swappiness setting?
hej guys, how can I let the command iwconfig wlan0 power off always run on startup?
my networking device only works after I issued this command..
mbeierl, i just thought that it might speed up my netbook
bazhang but i like ubuntu's interface with the dash and all those, looks cool on my netbook :)
neil, again, curious - are you aware of what that setting does?  Just to help with your performance, I want to make sure you're not chasing the wrong thing
anyone ?
how to "man mysql_real_connect",i have installed libmysql++-doc
well a forum says it should speed up the netbooks performance, what does it do really?
[jasper], does that need to be run at any particular time?  You could add it to /etc/rc.local
I have a remote system mounted with cifs and the host is now down. I can't seem to umount it. When I try, it says the device is busy. If I try to use fuser to find out what process is using it, it stalls forever. What can I do to force a umount?
neil, it is a setting that controls whether the OS should push programs that are not actively being used out into swap in order to cache disk I/O instead.  Not something that is typically tweaked for a desktop environment
ok
martian  i use fuser [mountpoint]
martian  i use fuser -m [mountpoint]
mbeierl I guess after the wifi device is initialised
by the servers
MonkeyDust: yeah, that's also stalling :-/
so i guess i will just leave it at 60which is at default then use lubuntu instead?
alo??
alguiena anda ahi??
neil, with 1g RAM, you need to figure out if RAM is really the bottleneck.  One way is to see if swap is being used a lot
how do you do that
neil, "top" from a terminal can give a nice overview.  When it's running, press the "m" key and it will sort by which programs are using the most memory
let me try that
neil, and the headers at the top of the "top" output will also show how much RAM is in use and how much swap is in use
I find htop to be quite useful as well, and a bit more detailed than top.
DaemonicApathy, true.
martian  try umount -vl     (read that in my book here)
this is what appeared: Mem:   1014800k total,   909668k used,   105132k free,   126648k buffers
Swap:  1543676k total,     3344k used,  1540332k free,   338796k cached
MonkeyDust: Wahoo! Thanks!
martian  lesson learned: read books!!!
MonkeyDust: mmmhmm!
anyone know if theres a 'send to kindle' alternative for ubuntu? this is one small piece of software I utterly love on my PC. right click a mobi, and send it to my kindle wirelessly. Its wonderful.
with what i had on top is that a normal?
neil, from that I would not conclude that memory is an issue at this time.
so how do i fix it
my users want to click a button and have image added in line; trying to explain why uploading first is better/required
:(
neil, I don't know what "it" refers to.  Was it faster before and now suddenly it is slow?
[jasper], you could try it in /etc/rc.local and see.  I don't know the driver or its place in the startup. Alternatively, you could make it a user script that is run when the user logs in
yeah... "it" meaning the results when i go "top"
Hi
neil, the results of top look normal.  good, in fact.
ok
i thought there is something wrong because it was faster before.
neil, faster before... when?  What changed since then and what feels slower?
everytime i launch anything like nautilus and firefox including google chrome
neil: i was reading that htop or top was slower than before.. your system is slower than before? have you recently upgraded?
neil, and this started happening spontaneously?  check /var/log/syslog to see if it's reporting errors from the disk?
and error messages appear like internal errors thingy
ooooo....
Hey, im about to format an usb stick using gparted.. i need to start it as an admin or smth, can i write someting in the terminal like: "admin" gparted , sudo didn't work
Guest72700: gksudo gparted
neil, what error messages.  This might be the real cause
Guest72700  gksudo
rocketr: there is a script to "Send to Kindle", if you're interested.
it says something like an internal error occured
neil: use pastebin to share *exactly*
 /var/log/syslog does not do anything it says permission denied
neil, my apologies: "it"?  Where is that message coming from
neil, /var/log/syslog is not a command - it is a file which contains system messages.  try tail -100 /var/log/messages
neil, actually: tail -100 /var/log/syslog | pastebinit
so i need to put that on the terminal?
neil, and ignore my reference to "/var/log/messages" - that's an older version of the file name
ok
neil, yes, put "tail -100 /var/log/syslog | pastebinit" into a terminal and post the URL here so we can see it
i miss my /var/log/messages *sniffle*
Greetings all. kpropd (kerberos v5 slave KDC update server) doesn't appear to be registered as a service in upstart, you have to daemonize it on startup with a command. What would be the best method to register and run it as a service? (ie. so it can be handled as a puppet service resource)
dshiner, symlink for those days when muscle memory is too strong? :)
ok one moment
http://paste.ubuntu.com/1360474/
how can i modefie the start up Menu to start ubuntu first
Shizuo16: grub? i would refer to
hmmmmm, if i got an iso file, and wanna make that file to an bootable usb stick.. how to i do this, i don't get anything about ubuntu thats why i need to change it ha. ha.
Guest72700: i use unetbootin
Guest72700, dd unetbootin, amongst others
Guest72700, depending on the iso in question, you can use netbootin, Ubuntu's startup disk creator, or just braseiro/acetoneiso...
neil, ok, that doesn't show anything.  Where is this error message you see?
trying unetbooting
it comes out randomly.
holstein: yep
holstein: i'm using dual boot win7 ubuntu and recently add bt gnome3 and  now when i start up my pc i need to move the arrow to get in ubuntu
neil, comes out of what?
it appears at random
anytime when im using my netbook
how can i modefie the start up Menu to start ubuntu first
Shizuo16: i just move the arrow.. i always have a few different kernels and/or OS's... you can learn how to change the order at that link.. or just change the "DEFAULT=" with 0 being the first entry
holstein: where is the link
neil, sorry.  without knowing how this message is presented to you, I can't help diagnose it further.
it depends on what os is manageing the boot menu also
odd thet ubuntu dident out ubuntu first
Shizuo16: i hesitate to drop the command here, as you can make your system not boot by editing this without a little research
well i guess i just wait for it to appear.
Shizuo16:  its possible you could just  reinstall grub from ubuntu, and ikt will put ubuntu first. if bt is the last os installed it may be the one controlling grub
it appears as a dialog box if that would help
holstein: ahha you mean i have to check this links then you're gona tell me how to
dr_willis: i think Shizuo16 wants windows as the first... Shizuo16 , i would set windows as the default.. and leave the order
dr_willis: ahha i didn't think of it ;)
Anybody know how I would find ubuntu software center in top/htop? It seems to be stuck and limbo and cant decide if it's running or dead
Shizuo16:  its worth learning how grub works befor trying things that may break it
Shizuo16: what im saying is, the links tell you how... you can edit the "DEFAULT=" and not "break" anything too bad
stuck in limbo*
neil, it does :)  what version of ubuntu are you using again?
holstein: i wanna make ubuntu the default
12.04
Shizuo16: you can make whatever you choose as the default
Shizuo16:  boot to ubuntu, rerun 'sudo update-grub'
neil, and that's unity that you have, correct?
Shizuo16:  then ubuntu is the os controlling the grub menu
yep
Shizuo16:  and ubuntu puts itself first in the list
dr_willis: all right gona try it
neil, I'm using ubuntu studio, which is XFCE based, so I can't confirm this, but that might be what happens when any program core dumps.
Can anyone confirm the behaviour of unity notification when a crash is detected?
what do you mean by that>?
holstein: i'm checkin the links ;)
grub is worth learning if you are doing complex setups
neil, well, there are many different programs that run in the background - including screensavers.  Let's say one screensaver crashed at some point - for whatever reason.  This then leaves a "core dump" behind.  This is a dump of the memory of the program at the time it crashed - useful for debugging the cause of the crash
Hey, are there any other room where you can gert help with arch beside #arch?
#archlinux
Thanks
neil, then, at periodic intervals, there is a notification utility which looks for these remnants and then notifies you "a program has crashed - can we sent the error report to the ubuntu devs?"
mbeierl, apport
holstein: ahha i knew how to restore grub when lost you mean it's the same too make it on the top ?!
neil, and as I don't use unity - I'm hoping someone else can confirm if what you are seeing sounds like one of those reports\
bazhang, thanks - apport!
Hmmm, it tells me I need to be identified with services
Does that mean I need an account or something?
dr_willis: i dont need to reinstall grub from live cd just by updating ?!
Shizuo16: i wouldnt change the order, though you can.. i would just change the default.. i find less stuff is breakable
neil, which means the error message is NOT the cause of the slowdown and we can rule that out
Phryq, #freenode for help with that
Thank
OK
thanks man
so that's normal when something crashes on ubuntu?
meaning to say it is not that stable or my netbook is not stable?
neil, apport should handle that, yes
apport? what's that?
neil, meaning that software has bugs, and they need to be reported to improve the software
neil, the bug/crash reporter
neil, provided the error message you are seeing is in fact from apport itself finding a crash report
holstein: how can i change the "default" in here they show you how to  reinstall grub 2
Shizuo16: sudo nano /etc/default/grub ...though you may want to back this up before editing
so where do i get apport?
in there you will see GRUB_DEFAULT=0
It's installed by default
neil, apport is installed by default as part of the OS
neil, it will pop up if there is a crash, and ask if you wish to file a bug
how do i run that?
ah yeah
neil, wait for it
that did happen
holstein: all right gona backup this just in case
Shizuo16: and in here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2/Setup#Configuring_GRUB_2 you see waht im suggesting
Shizuo16: 0 being the first in the list.. you can set it to whatever OS you want to boot by default
neil, I should clarify: it runs in the background all the time.  it periodically picks up reports and asks if they can be sent off.  Or it is directly called when a program crashes
so again just to makes things clear, it is a normal behaviour for ubuntu to have bugs?
mbeierl  yeah, happens here too, in ubuntu classic
neil, every OS has bugs.
neil, there is no software that is perfect.
neil, it happens with *everything*
yep i gotch
neil, of course. every OS has them
*gotcha
Shizuo16: you can also read the other main link https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 on how to change the order
just wanna clarify if what im thinking is right...hehehe
Shizuo16: also, in the documentation is that you need to run "sudo update-grub" after editing that file... that is to make the changes take effect
neil, however, the cause of the crash is something else.  Yes they happen, but if it happens a lot, that is not normal and might indicate a problem
neil, for example, if I am running a not-very-popular video card, it is possible that it does not work the same way as the other ones and can cause some programs to experience problems in certain cases
Shizuo16: what would i do? i turn off auto grub booting and select manually when i have "complex" booting scenarios
well i normally experience an issue like when a window is loading it sort of like dims itself. like glowing or flashing ?
neil, and as it is not popular, it has not received the same about of testing an development
holstein: i'm going to edite the default
neil, um.... as a non-unity user I don't know what the experience is supposed to be like.
ok
dr_willis: holstein: Remember that right now it's Backtrack's /boot/grub/grub.cfg being read at boot, and "update-grub" just re-writes /boot/grub/grub.cfg. If you want to change which distribution is controlling the grub menu you need to use grub-install.
neil: it'll do that if it's taking a very long time for the app to respond
neil, is the launcher that you click glowing/flashing?
neil: I get that when I'm starting to bang off the end of swap ;-)
neil: is this after an upgrade to 12.10? there is no fallback mode of unity.. i appolize if that is in the scroll back somewhere
nope it is the window.
holstein: XD what should i change in this file ?!!!!!
<holstein> im using 12.04
Shizuo16: the line i posted about "default".. unless you want to change the order as Jordan_U suggests
neil, ah yes... that's right.  If an application becomes unresponsive, it gets "dimmed" to give you a hint that it is not responding
that always happens
Shizuo16: that is outlined in the link about ediing /boot/grub/grub.cfg... as Jordan_U states, update-grub poplulates that from /etc/default/grub and other things
neil, ok, we're back again to swap and lack of memory.  Which did not appear to be the case from top.  Perhaps the report from top was at a bad time - like the system was not slow when you ran the command....
Shizuo16: i would change the "DEFAULT=" line to reflect the OS i want to boot as default
ah i see
so i need to wait for it to slowdown
neil, this is what I'm thinking.  Again, I find myself wanting to ask what has changed since it used to feel "faster"?
neil, it should not slow down without a reason
How can I change the colors from gnome-terminal to
NikP  edit > profile preferences
Decreased mem usage from 1.5Gb to 813MB ^_^
nik@nik-ubuntu green and ~$
blue
yeah i know
but it is really hard to figure it out
How can I change the colors from gnome-terminal, that the "nik@nik-ubuntu" green is and the "~$" blue?
holstein: steel the same problem
In the profile preferences I can't change that.
NikP: Just define the colours you want in your .bashrc
holstein: i change the default line to 0 and sudo update-grub  and the same problem
NikP: Or your global bash config if you'd prefer
NikP:  check out the 'bash prompt howto' theres dozens of tricks you can do
Shizuo16: well, to be clear... there is no "problem"
Shizuo16: one thing could be, you are editing the grub in the os that didnt install grub
NikP: This is all presuming you're using bash as your shell, will be slightly different for zsh, csh etc
Shizuo16: you can share any error messages...
well i think i need to park that out for some time and check if my netbook would continue to be slow
holstein: you mean i have to edite the grub in Bt
another question i have in mind is the window size it. Like whenever i save a file and a window will pop out it is always bigger that my screen like i cannot see ok from the bottom
Shizuo16: you dont have to editin grub, but if you want to make changes to the grub that is controlling the system, you should edit that particular grub
Shizuo16: if it were my machine, i would just test different ones til i found the one that worked.. or restore it with a live CD so i know where it is
holstein: so you mean reinstalling grub 2 from live  cd will fix the problem
hi guys, i want the number of files starting with ~     , i try with find ./-name "~$*" .  -> but that shows all files in all underlaying directories.... Can someonen help?
Touhou11: OK, after editing it, it works.
Shizuo16: there is no problem.. but reinstalling whll help you know exactly which grub to edit
Touhou11: But where can I change it for the virtual consoles (e.g. ctrl+alt+F1)
Shizuo16: or boot to ubuntu. update-grub. then  ubuntu should be controlling it
Touhou11: Oh, now it works too. Thank you!
Shizuo16: i need to run.. i would just leave well enough alone for a bit, and maybe edit on a simpler setup... create one in virtualbox and "break" it to test.. enjoy!
dr_willis: already tryed your way and wont work i update grub but wont control anything
Shizuo16: it may be installing grub to a different location or hard drive.
is Skype in the repositories of ubuntu 12.10?
guys, even tough my bios recognizes my usb stick, I cannot boot from it(yeah, changed bott order). Is a sandisk with u3(I don't know if this afects it as it automatically create another partition)or if is the fact that is 1gb(ubuntu.com says that it has to have at least 2gb of free space to make a live usb, but it actually fits without a problem in my usb stick)
hi guys, i want the number of files starting with ~     , i try with find ./-name "~$*" .  -> but that shows all files in all underlaying directories.... Can someonen help?
tl;dr have a 1gb pendrive, my bios recognizes it but it doesn't boot so i cannot reinstall
Shizuo16: the boot-repair tool may fix it. or try       sudo dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc
Anyone here use skype with ubuntu?
dr_willis: going to reinstall grub with live cd then
magma: Yes
does anyone know how to filter mode changes in a channel in weechat?
sianhulo, in software centre there is a u3 tool, to get rid of the uses U3 stuff> sudo apt-get install u3-tool
I'm already filtering joins, parts, and quits
Shizuo16: the boot-repair tool can be ran frpm your ubuntu install
ok im back
derheks, thank you, didn't know such tool existed. brb
and yeah help with the windows size on ubuntu?
Krambiorix  try adding -maxdepth 1
MonkeyDust, i want it recursively
Krambiorix  or change 1 to something higher, as it suits you
Touhou11, how did you install it?
magma: You can get it from the Ubuntu software centre, though you may need to enable the "partner repositories" first since it's proprietary software
ok
thanks
help with the windows size on ubuntu?
neil: clarify what you mean
like when i go and save or download, the window is larger than my screeni cannot see the bottom
hi...  i have cairo dock, on xubuntu 12.10   ...i installed cairo dock, and everything was goiong fine...  then i started experimenting around, noticing that i could drag items off the dock onto the desktop, and i could always drag them back when i wanted to...  but i dragged the terminalapplet to the desktop, and it is now staying in open mode and wont go back to the dock.  i have tried...
...uninstalling and reinstalling from synaptic, it was still open and on the desktop.. and i have tried disabling the terminal from the cairo dock setting, but when i re enable, it shows up again
what should i do?
neil, sorry - I'm going to bow out of that one as I don't use unity.  But I know exactly what you are saying as I've experienced that myself and have no answer.  I use the alt-key and grab the window anywhere with the left mouse button and then move the whole window up to see it
chaotix: uninstallng is windows  mindset thinking
chaotix: close the dock. delete its setting files.. restart it  is one way
ok i guess i have no choice
thanks dr_willis
dr_willis: can you tell me how to get to the setting files?
they are in your home dir somewhere. in    .config perhaps
@mbeierl how about the updates i cannot select on the update manager
dr_willis: ok i am in ~/.config/cairo-dock
what should i delete
http://www.wired.com/business/2012/11/brilliant-bastards/?pid=801&viewall=true
good day all
quick question... what is the CLI for see what services are running
Hi, is there a good example on how to use local extensions to an apparmor profile? that documentation seems to be lacking.
Need to reset a password on a server box, booted to a live cd but the volume is lvm, how do I go about accessing it to reset login info
chaotix: jusr rename the whole directory...
gotit...  thanks dr_willis .... i will try to use linux mindset in the future
dr_willis: oo...  i deleted the directory.....  i think its working now tho
andreb:  the  service  command
hi
chaotix:  the apt tools do not touch user configs in their homes.. worth remembering
it recreated the directory, but the settings are now back to default
ok all the sudden today everytime i open a new teminal or a new window in tmux bash is printing a list of my aliases, anyone know how to stop this from happening?
thanks
chaotix: logical ;-)

hello there, I'm a noob and would like some help to locate some source?
hankhendrix: just ask
OK!
I would like to edit the source for the right-click menu on the desktop background in ubuntu 12.10
nvm using the grub trick worked
I've downloaded the source, but can't grep for the menu option string as the source files are tarred
so extract the archives
every single one of the tars across three ISOs!?
<Avventure>#ubuntu-fr for french users
hankhendrix: i'm curious what you want to edit exactly
hello, what package should I install in order to use git-imap-send ?
^about
hankhendrix:  better to just tell us what you are trying to acomplish
theres  no need to msg me.
where can I go for dev help?
hey can i write something in the terminal to creata a partition on my main drive?
I would like to edit the behaviour of "Change Desktop Background"
hankhendrix: to do what?
Probably just show an alert with a message
I'm a web dev trying to get into lower level langs
and thought this would be a good entry point
hankhendrix: so what source code did you download?
all three ISOs
Guest36662: there's fdisk and parted and probably a few other terminal based partition editors..
hankhendrix: well nautilus draws the desktop, so I'd start there I suppose.
thanks guys
my problem is I don't know what package to target
so I was just going to extract them all and grep for the string "Change Desktop Background"
 every desktop and window manager most likely has such a feature.
hankhendrix: Which language do you want to learn...?
and with the translations - such a search may be pointless
hankhendrix: just a heads up.. the source might not contain that exact string as it might be fetched from some kind of language package
nautilus handles the file manager and 'desktop' background menus of the default unity setup
yeh, but the translation will come up in the grep results
hankhendrix: my guess is that the source might just contain something like   PrintMessage $change_background_message
and I can then obtain the translation key from that and further grep
you wouldent know what apps are using the translations
hankhendrix: have you joined #ubuntu-devel yet?
since it would be like.. most all of them ;)
nope, this is my first experience of irc and ubuntu dev...I'll join now
you may want to start with somthing smaller in scope
hmm maybe, but I'd like to get my hands dirty
im not even sure how you would modify/compile and test your modified nautilus easially
hmm
I wondered if that might be the case
dr_willis: shouldn't the package source compile as-is? or I'm being naively optimistic about this? =)
do you even know c++ or any languages?
Slart:  it 'should' ;)
hankhendrix: Which language do you want to learn...?
Slart:  use build deps, get code, alter, build deb, install it, test...
hope it works. ;)
nice one
dr_willis: well.. I'm happy just running the default binaries.. at least for now =)
no I've not got experience of C++
my ubuntu linux is very slow as a guest on a vm and windows 7 host, please what could be the reason
I'm a JS, PHP dev
hankhendrix:  any programing experience?
yes...I'm a pro dev
js? gnome-shell uses a lot of js  ;)
hankhendrix: You just said you're a JS and PHP dev ;)
babyswizz: Running Ubuntu in a VM causes resources to be used by both the host and the guest OS - this can slow things a bit.
seriously?!
hankhendrix:  its a major 'selling point' i hear
what JS?
if by js you ment javascript
yes
babyswizz: You might compare performance by booting into a live session, if you don't want to install on a separate partition just yet.
isn't that the standard abbreviation?
hankhendrix:  no idea.
DaemonicApathy, my window host works perfectly but not my ubuntu, is there anything i can do?
right, must get back to work...will be back later
hankhendrix: It is, assuming one is accustomed enough to using it as such. ;-)
babyswizz: what are your hardware details? CPU, memory...
dr_willis: ok i found out what is was, i continuously hit ';s' instead of 'ls' so i created an alias for it, well i wasn't thinking about
dr_willis: about ; starting a new command
thanks for your help
laterz
DaemonicApathy, the system memory is 4gb and i allocated 1gb to ubuntu, whereas the processor says i have 4 CPUs but 1 is allocated to ubuntu
I can't real the font in xterm. How do I make it bigger?
babyswizz: If your current usage permits, I would recommend doubling both of those.
dr_willis: As I said to you before, "update-grub" just re-writes /boot/grub/grub.cfg, it doesn't install grub and thus does not change which partition's grub.cfg is read at boot.
Cong: there should be a menu option for "zoom" or ctrl +
babyswizz: If you would prefer to run a lighter system at the same specs, you might try lubuntu.
slart, nope
Cong: oh.. sorry.. thought you wrote gnome-terminal.. not xterm
DaemonicApathy, when i try to double the CPU it says i need hardware virtualization support on my host system, i dont know exactly what that means
Cong: ah.. CTRL + rightclick gives you a menu
babyswizz: hardware virtualization does not depend on the amount of memory.
babyswizz: And whats the exact message displayed?
hi
bekks, am talking of processor CPUs not memory
I am having an issue with an ubuntu server setup, is anyone here a professional with it?
slart, permanent solution. that would give me a temporary change. I can't do that because the menu is small because I merged xterm*geomery: 124x40 in to the resources.
babyswizz: Then whats the exact message you get?
Cong: http://askubuntu.com/questions/161652/how-to-change-the-default-font-size-of-xterm
I am having an issue with an ubuntu server setup, is anyone here a professional with it and willing to help me with a Samba configuration issue, more specifically a small question
does my workgroup need to have a domain controller for me to setup a folder on the samba server and require a login name and password for it?
I would like to give eash user a private folder with a password and username (perhaps an ubuntu login?)
Xen: Using a workgroup, you dont need a domain (nor a domain controller).
bekks, controls the number of virtual CPUs in the virtual machine. you need hardware virtualization support on your host system to use more than one virtual CPU
hello, just curious, when I type dmesg in terminal, the log entries are preceded by [#####.######] what do the numbers mean/relate to
babyswizz: Then you have to enable that feature in the BIOS of your computer.
hilo time
Dash is very slow. Even if I just hit Super to open it or close it, it is slow. All other effects work smoothly. Any ideas what is coing on?
OerHeks, in what unit?
OerHeks, or rather, with reference to what?
bekks, how do i do that
hilo seconds before the "."
babyswizz: That totally depends on the BIOS of your computer. And it should be covered in the manual of your computer hardware.
Hello
Hello.
How have you been ?
bekks, can you just describe what am l might be looking for when i enter my computer BIOS
Just updated to 12.10 on the laptop, wifi was working etc.. it asked me to finish/do a few updates.. reboot.. wifi is gone... heh.
babyswizz: What is your computer model?
OerHeks, thanks
And 'Virtualization' is good to keep an eye out for, babyswizz.
babyswizz: Basically a setting like "Enable hardware virtualization", "Enable AMD-V", "Enable Intel VT-d" or similar.
DaemonicApathy, hp pavillon, g6
babyswizz: That's kind of a wide series at this point.
Hello everyone. We have an Ubuntu based network in which authentication is done against an OpenLDAP server. What's the best way to make it on login to take the supplied credentials and use them to mount a network drive? Since users may not exist yet on the system, I wasn't sure if maybe this was something to add to /etc/skel, or if someone maybe had some experience and might suggest a different method.
thanks guys am going to check it out now
hello there, I'm using xubuntu
and I can't find the system>preferences tab on my computer
there's system, but no "preference" submenu
johnnyonflame: you can try #xubuntu ,but i would just ask for what you are wanting to change.. xfce is a bit different
Applications > System and Applications > Settings > Settings Manager cover just about everything, johnnyonflame
holstein, thanks for the tip, will keep in mind
johnnyonflame: if anything, there are more places to change settings
holstein, DaemonicApathy I am trying to find pulseaudio settings menu
johnnyonflame: i would install pavucontrol
holstein, that won't cover what I need
johnnyonflame: Then what do you need...?
johnnyonflame: sure.. what are you looking for? that is the most extensive pulse settings GUI
johnnyonflame, check out http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1882525
It still recommends pavucontrol, but also a way to make it a bit simpler to access.
"Make discoverable Apple AirTunes sound devices available locally"
Pavucontrol comes defaulted to the system's volume control
johnnyonflame: ...try #xubuntu . And good luck. :-)
DaemonicApathy, k, ty )
:)
johnnyonflame: what are you trying to do/
holstein, I want to stream my audio to airbubble on my phone
would someone please be so kind as to help me with an apt dependency error? http://paste.ubuntu.com/1360758/
johnnyonflame: there are lots of ways to do that, though i wouldn expect pulse to do that
http://oi45.tinypic.com/ixdvgi.jpg this can't be fixed font on the right could it?
johnnyonflame: what is "airbubble" expecting? you can always use a friendlier client on the phone.. something more open
I heard there was a new "Ubuntu Distro Builder" Can anyone point me in the right direction?
johnnyonflame: remember, there is nothing about ubuntu/xubuntu/linux that prevents "airbubble" from supporting it
holstein, I'd love to use something else other than it
designbybeck: online? or like remastersys?
osirisx11: do you have any idea why?  What have you done regarding repositories?  Any 3rd-party repositories or debs?
osirisx11: Did you do sudo apt-get update   first?
holstein: I think it was like remastersys, but much easier to use
designbybeck: ubuntu customization kit? uck in the repos.. if its still there
genii-around: yes i've done apt-get update
osirisx11: What says result of: apt-cache policy mysql-server*      ?
This is not right. I want to change the font size not change the font and pick  a size.
genii-around: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1360769/

osirisx11: Please do the command with the asterisk at the end, so: apt-cache policy mysql-server*   and not just:apt-cache policy mysql-server
oh sorry

SierraAR, can you give us an example?
Very top of the list in the Games category when sorting by top-rated
Battle for Wesnoth (1.8)
Using Ubuntu 12.04 64bit
SierraAR, did you enable the 'universe' repository?
Not sure what that is or how I'd enable it
in the software sources app, tick the relevant box
Community-maintained free and open source software (universe)
SierraAR: Should be in Software Sources Settings or similar.
Everything except Source Code is checked
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecommendedSources shows for 7.10...
hm, in precise it's already wesnoth-1.10?
osirisx11: I suggest: sudo rm /var/lib/apt/lists/partial/*  /var/lib/apt/lists/*           then redo the: sudo apt-get update         and try again with: sudo apt-get -f install
SierraAR, did you upgrade from an older version?
SierraAR: close that and reload/refresh the sources, maybe the button is called reload.
Seveas, it's a fresh install of 12.04 64bit. I had 12.10 32bit previously
SierraAR, then you found a bug :) You can install the wesnoth-1.10 package manually if you want to play wesnoth
rm: cannot remove `/var/lib/apt/lists/partial/*': No such file or directory
osirisx11, add a measure of sudo :)
osiris@osiris-laptop:~$ sudo rm /var/lib/apt/lists/* rm: cannot remove `/var/lib/apt/lists/partial': Is a directory
i did use sudo
rm -r

Trying to boot ubuntu on a 2010 iMac with an ATi radeon card after installing non-graphically but when it boots and tries to start x the screen goes black.  I can't use ctrl-alt-f1 or anything; it doesn't take any response so I can't get into a shell
jmfurlott: i would try getting to the desktop live with nomodeset
holstein, while that got that me further on a livecd trying to do a graphical install it never actually started x correctly
it would just say Ubuntu with the loading dots in poor resolution and then nothing
ok here we go i have a issue that i would like some help with
jmfurlott: if you cant get to the live desktop, i would expect it to be challenging to get to it from an install... i would try tty
see if you can install an ati proprietary driver manually jmfurlott
holstein, it won't respond to tty..thats why this is so difficult haha
in the messageing menu in ubuntu 12.04 LTS there is avalibale,away,buisy,invisable and offline how do i remove JUST that not the entire menu
jmfurlott: hm.. can you pull the hard drive? thats a long shot too, but i was thining you could at least setup openssh-server
holstein, ehh that's not a bad idea but pretty unreasonable I think
DJones, I have tried
nomodeset
DJones, lol at the bot
Evil_Eric, I'm fairly sure that's not possible
jmfurlott: well, keep in mind, there is nothing about ubuntu keeping apple or ati from providing out of the box support for you/us
jmfurlott: no sucess with the nomodeset paramater in grub?
jmfurlott: elaborate as to the issues you see with nomodeset...
its open source isnt it seveas
DJones, How do I set the parameter on grub
Evil_Eric, well yes, you can prod at the source :)
hi. on xubuntu  the spellchecker on libreoffice isn't working at all.  i've tried installing hunspell, wbritish and libreoffice-l10n-en-gb among other things, but nothing is working.  when i try a spellcheck it just says "spellcheck finished".  is this a common problem?
jmfurlott: i tap shift at boot, and use the F6 options at the bottom of the live CD
holstein, I know but Apple has to make it difficult
jmfurlott: nomodeset from a live CD is what i would suggest... and what i assumed you mentioned having tried above
* Evil_Eric gets his cattle prod out and zaps the messaging menu a few times 
Evil_Eric: not sure exactly how you would go about it on 12.04 but in 12.10 the app's .desktop file has to have X-MessagingMenu-UsesChatSection=true, commenting that out removes the status integration
holstein, yeah I have tried from cd but not after an install so maybe I can get to a bash
jmfurlott: its an ati graphics card, but apple or ati could supply you with linux support, though they dont have to
trism, thanks for that it gives me something to look into
Hi
holstein, ohh I see what you are saying.  I wouldn't expect them to say much to me
Evil_Eric: note that the api between 12.04 and 12.10 is completely different, so probably won't help you much on 12.04
probaly not but at least its something to look into (i dint even know where to start ) trism
jmfurlott: and they dont need to say anthing to you.. im just making sure you understand exactly why it can be challenging to work with unsupported software.. though the nomodeset option is the way i sneak in and test and install on most systems
google is my friend!!!
holstein, is there a way to set nomodeset from grub or only from a live cd
jmfurlott: you should be able to add it to the current install kernel as a parameter...
holstein, not sure how to do that? I am on the GRUB command line
how do i upgrade from ubuntu 12.04 too xubuntu 12.10? i have installed xubuntu adn removed ubuntu now what?
jmfurlott: thats why, if it were me, i would just grab a live CD.. tap shift.. hit F6 select "nomodeset" and test... then if it works, you can either install again, or read more about how to implement this on your current insatll
install*
jmfurlott: should be that you hit tab and edit the grub kernel line.. or go in with a live cd (from the above test) and add it manually
hey trism i think i found the lib to remove
Evil_Eric: did you?
i think
how do i switch from ubuntu 12.04 to xubuntu?
holstein, okay I am trying to the live cd

hello guys, is there a way to play an swf file from command line? tried lynx, w3m and elinks but the .swf file is not triggered
holstein, it just goes black after the ubuntu loading screen
jmfurlott: it? the live CD? after trying nomodeset? .. there are other options under f6.. i usually just try them all til something works (if something works)
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/10937431/run-a-swf-file-with-the-terminal
holstein, okay I will try that its just annoying because if I had a bash this would be easy to change ou t the drivers
What gui software would you recommend to customize Ubuntu? I found out about myunity but it seems it's not compatible for Ubuntu 12.10.
its gone. :(
webupd8 and omgubuntu sites shuld mention several tweaking tools

hi. i have just installed a new mouse (SteelSeries kinzu v2 pro edition), and it's too sensitive- it moves too fast on the screen. it the settings, it's already set to the slowest pointer speed, and lowest acceleration. is there a way to make it even slower (even 2:1)?
Got disconnected
(couldn't install the official software)
a question guys im talking to a game dev for blacklight retribution adn asking if he can make a linux version and asked me if Unreal Engine 3 would work on linux? would it?
Fuzzles: i would search and ask the unreal engine team.. i can say there is nothing about ubuntu keeping that from working on linux/ubuntu
furycd001: any errors from sudo apt-get update?
holstein: I shall go & check that now...
furycd001: i would make sure you are reffering to an installable package name
holstein, ok thanks
holstein: Nope "sudo apt-get update" worked fine
I checked google earlier & "sudo apt-get install gnome-shell" should work !!
furycd001: i would try apt-cache search gnome-shell
holstein: ok thanks ill try that now...
furycd001: i would use tabe complete
be sure the repos are enabled also
tab*
ok ill try that now...
Anyone have any suggestions on how to start with setting up a wireless printer on ubuntu?
nahjil: i would see that i can ping the device.. then its up to the hardware support from there
nahjil: i just use the cups tools  or web interface
Quite the noob here how would I do either of those?
http://localhost:631    cups web interface
i think i got that right
"apt-cache search gnome-shell" returns nothing at all !!
furycd001: then, you should troubleshoot the sources.. it'll never instlal if its not in the list
hmm
install*
be sure the repos are enabled also
ok ill try repos & what not then return...
Hi, in ubuntuone i can't delete 2 files in the root folder /

anybody can help me? i was using alcatel usb dongel for internet..but after i installed ubuntu updates in 12.04 version and i restart my pc..and i lost my dialup connection
Would somebody be so nice  to tell me how to add the iso of an Ubuntu-CD to my Repositories ?

 anybody can help me? i was using alcatel usb dongel for internet..but after i installed ubuntu updates in 12.04 version and i restart my pc..and i lost my dialup connection
jalal: i would just try booting an earlier kernel.. tap shift after the bios at reboot.. look throughthe previous kernels
I'd like to get the mail in my local mailboxes back into the mail queue so they can be processed by my updated mail aliases. is there a way to do this?
i am newbie can help me in easy way?
jalal: sure.. reinstall and dont upgrade.. or try tapping the shift key and bot an earlier kernel and let use know if it works in that older kernel
i did not upgrade ubuntu..i installed update which ubuntu provider by ubuntu update software
The mail is in /var/spool/mail/<username>, which is the local mailbox for that user, right?
jalal: right... corrrect... dont update.. upgrade.. whatever you want to call it.. reinstall and dont do what you did that broke the system.. dont update pacakges
jalal: OR, try the troubleshooting step of booting an earler kernel
ok..i got this problem
http://askubuntu.com/questions/146948/internet-on-ubuntu-12-04-stopped-to-work-after-installing-updates-from-the-updat
jalal, what is your problem
please be specific
jalal: did the solution listed there work for you as well?
until now my internet working fine using alcatel usb modem..but i install update from ubuntu update manager..and i reboot pc and now usb dongel doesnot works..and dial up connect dissapear
jalal, so boot into an earlier kernel
I have a hosting with "unlimited" resources. Any ideas where I could use it for a greater good?
there no earliar kernal
jalal: i would try an older kernel... im suggesting a kernel update you just did could have removed functinality for your device.. you can also just reinatll the OS and dont upate again... if that is easier
jalal, how did you check
jalal: you tap shift at reboot.. and under the "previous ubuntu.." entry
how can i set the default view mode for nautilus? i want to open folders as "list" but it always defaults back to "icons"
i can not reinstall os..i have to tack data backup..
jalal, how did you check for previous kernels
in organise you can not reinstall os.. you have to find solution for problem
jalal: you need to back up data regardless, for when that hard drive *will* fai
fail*
ok tell me how to boot from earlier karnel?
jalal, we did
ok tell me how to boot from earlier karnel?
i have dual boot
jalal, hold SHIFT at reboot
jalal: i would tap shift at reboot.. after the bios.. and you'll see it under "previous ubuntu.." in the grub list
ok i will try
I've got a samba problem. I can't see 1 of my servers on the network. It should be identical to my 2nd one. I think there is a name resolution or netbios or wins conflict? & I've tried all the troubleshooting I could think of & on the net.
hello there. I have an old hard drive here that might still have some important information on it. Gparted can read all partitions, except one (size of 790GB). It shows File System unknown. How can I find out if there is a filesystem at all? I already tried to mount it with mount.ntfs-3g, the only other FS I used back then, but that failed. I just want to be sure that the partition is empty and has no information on it...
FAT32? FAT16>
malaise: thank you! just worked with both xvfb-run and flashplayer
lvmer: probably not, the drive's not that old...
ichbinder: if you just want the info destroyed... plug it into a system and do a rewrite of 0's. Depending how old it is.... it could still have redundancy cylinders so you might need to do 7 passes. But newer hd's a single zero pass leaves data unrecoverable.
ichbinder: there are some file rescue tools in the repos you can try.. do your homework before you try them though.. doing the wrong thing might destroy the stuff you're trying to restore
I am a chmist with a minor in computer science, I have worked general IT (tier 1 support) for anumber of years, and now am working as a chemist.  We are looking to setup a small server for local use (company of 5 people). For me this is a project for learning ubuntu, andmaybe saving the company a few bucks.  I am looking to setup a samba server (Done, just need help configuring) that allows my offices windows 7 computers to logon to priv
(or windows) username and password. THis would allow my users to each have a 'private' folder for the storage of work files and backup information.  Also this would allow me to setup IT folders for the storage of images, IT data, programs intall files etc.  I currently have an older pentium 4 machine with ubuntu server 12.04 LTS, with raided Hard drives.  My goal here is to do the following:
 Have a private drive for each user Have a public drive for all users Have a set of private drives for my use (IT and such)   In a windows system I would simply setup the share and have them use a local (server side) login name. In this case, do I need a domain controller? If I do, can someone point me to an ubuntu setup guide for one if they know a good one?
just tried 'sudo fdisk -l /dev/sda6' and it gives me paste.ubuntu.com/1360933/
which looks like it's just formated, non-partitioned data
Is there a way to put the mail in the local mailbox back in the mail queue?
Why is xdg-screensaver accessing files on my bluray when I mount it?
also cfdisk says "FS Type" "Free Space"
lvmer: no, I want to be sure that I'm not destroying information accidentally. ;)
Slart: ah, thanks! Have you experience with fdisk and cfdisk? Can I trust their statements and be sure the partition is empty?
Hello all. Just upgraded 10.04 to 12.04 with lxde installed and the system hands at boot with the "apparmor [ok]" message, cant seem to get to console, ideas?
hangs*
ichbinder: afaik fdisk/cfdisk just reads the partition table, it doesn't actually check if there is any data in the partition. So basically.. if everything is ok and in order I would trust them.. but for an old drive that might have some parts go bad I would use one of the other tools, testdisk is one, that actually looks at what is one the disk
*on the disk
jaha: sudo apt-get remove apparmor && sudo apt-get install apparmor apparmor-profiles
Hi. I have ubuntu 12.10 and X Diagnostic Settings and Apport are not responding.
jaha: would reinstalling work?
Is there a way to force close them?
ichbinder: basically it all comes down to how important the data that might be on the drive is..
I would like to thank whoever got me started on the correct path it took me a minute or ten but I now have a working wireless printer.
cups is a nifty system
it can be confuseing when cups shows like 6 printeres that are the same wireless printer.. due to the printer having like 6 'services' cups could be using to print to
hey guys, I'm trying to change the size of unity icons, I know where the option is but the y actually doesn't change. and it doesn't hide even tough the option is enabled
Slart: thanks, checking with testdisk right now
Slart: it found something and said  "FAT16 >32M"
then I did Quick Search and now states something about "HPFS - NTFS"
ichbinder: ok.. not really sure what that means.. make sure you check the documentation before you do something
#linux
Slart: ok, Thanks for your hints!
ichbinder: you're welcome, hope you find what you're looking for
Hi, I'm trying to install the VMware guest additions, but it says it can't find my kernel headers. What package do I need? I've installed linux-headers-generic.
Greetings, found an answer in FAQ but in 12.10 it's not doing the trick... Did Software Upgrade and all the Launcher as well as top-bar menuing, etc. totally disappeared.  Tried the unity commands, just errors out and I seem to be missing things.
Using an onboard AMD/ATI setup, I changed to the default vid driver and I'm wondering if that somehow caused the display change issues because that driver isn't as compatible?
PSCGOhio: i might make a new user account and test there.. then you wil know if its user config
PSCGOhio: i would think it would be user config over driver issues
Hi. I'm in Ubuntu 12.10. How do I install .ttf fonts here?
So do I, but I can't seem to see where to change that config as the FAQ suggested either.
Should I be looking for a prompt to change those settings or is that a command like Ctrl-Alt-?
PSCGOhio: i would test with a new user first.. if i log in as new user and all is well, then i know the issue is in the /home of the current user
Gotcha, I'll see if I can create another User.  That also didn't seem obvious but I'll dig more.  I'm used to RH, etc. on a server.
hi woot-0854
oosmajid, doubleclick -- install
Aha, will check that as well - thanks!
PSCGOhio: in the command line, from tty, you should be more familiar then.. sudo adduser...
I ran sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r) but it still can't find the headers. Where do they get installed to?
Now that - I understand! LOL  The OS part is where I'm not used to it yet and sudden changes aren't like Win or DOS to redo.  TTY lines I'm very used to.  Thanks!
yay!!!!
PSCGOhio: you dont have to make the new user either.. i usually just do it as a troubleshooting step.. since i dont mind cleaning them out.. or just having an extra one around for troubleshooting
where's the enable mouse shadow button?
I've setup ligthdm with lightdm-gtk-greeter and I'm trying to get ldap logins to work from remote vnc clients
mspencer: try:   sudo apt-get install linux-headers-generic
hola
I can login with vnc from remote client using local user no problem, with ldap user it just disconnects
hello everybody?
ActionParsnip: I've already ran that.
ldap auth via shell is fine
i have a problem with my WEP Network
@FloodBot1
Thanks. But I installed the fonts but I don't see any difference when browsing the web.
mspencer: try:   sudo apt-get install linux-headers-generic-pae
how can i catch a spy within network with out sniffing his/her activity
@FloodBot1
I recently Upgraded to 12.10 I am unhappy, could anyone tell me or provide a link to how to downgrade back to 12.04
wa11: you will need to packetsniff to see what it on the LAN. You could also try nmap.
lonewulf85: reinstall
wa11: Only by stepping behind him/her and watching over his/her shoulder.
alguien que hable castellano ? para resolver un problema con xubuntu
@ lonewoulf why are you unhappy?
lonewulf85: reinstall is the only way
lonewulf85  delete and fresh install 12.04
wa11: You have to sniff to identify an intruder.
crap I was afraid of that.
lonewulf85: I suggest you clean install Quantal instead of upgrading
ActionParsnip: Still doesn't work. My VM is 13.10, would this be a problem with raring and thus a question for #ubuntu+1?
mspencer: 13.10 what?
mspencer  you mean 13.04 or 12.10
mspencer: do you mean 13.04     then it is for #ubuntu+1
Sorry, I meant 13.04
ActionParsnip: What are the benefits of a fresh install?
lonewulf85: there aren't the old configs and fluff from the old install causing issues.
lonewulf85  no upgrading issues
How set arabic language in xubuntu ?
lonewulf85: its how the OS is supposed to be, nothing more or less :)
bekks tanx
i try with xplico
MonkeyDust:Nope it went fine but now it is just I keep getting crash reports from stuff that worked perfect before.
but i am tired
wa11: Whats "xplico"?
how do you change Groups in the GUI?
12.10
wa11: you're using WEP but worry about intruders? odd
linuxawi  try sudo gnome-language-selector
bekks xplico is a tool in BTr3 and could decrypt and categorised the packets .pcap
or live sniff
llutz
lonewulf85  oh, the crash reports, i have those too
wa11: if its backtrack then ask in #backtrack-linux
So any question related to 13.04 should be asked on #ubuntu+1 even if I think it is not specific to 13.04?
its forensic :)
MonkeyDust: Did you upgrade to 12.10 from 12.04?
wa11: Never heard of it, wireshark's enough here :)
its not backtrack. im done with xplico
lonewulf85  fresh install
yes, but no sniffing!
plz give me another way
lonewulf85: most (not all) experienced ubuntu users fresh install...
wa11: Huh? Of course you can do that with wireshark. Thats what wireshark is for.
I've installed Virutualbox but I need to add vboxusers group, But I can't find how to do that in the GUI Unity 12.10
designbybeck: Then do it in the cmd line, which is much easier.
designbybeck: groupadd
in command line
chaingun bekks:  is there no longer a GUI for this in 12.10?
I don't know
designbybeck: sudo usermod -a -G vboxusers $USER
hmmmmm..?
never bothered to learn how to do it from GUI. They keep moving stuff around.
Hi
designbybeck: I've never done things like that with a GUI, I dont know.
hmm
designbybeck: log off then log in and you will be added to the group
thank you ActionParsnip
bekks: xplico can analyse the pcap file from wireshark and ...
wa11: And wireshark has beautiful and sophisticated filters :)
bekks : yes right
When installing ssri using the guide on ubuntuforums.org i wasnt able to install
here is an error message I got on a new install of VB http://www.pasteall.org/37263
a few of the libcrypt and libmath packages
anyone know why ?
bekks: but im not authorised to sniff this network anymore
designbybeck: did you run:   sudo /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup
I'm trying to spin up a VM of Ubuntu so I can run the Ubuntu Distro BUilder to make my own custom distro
designbybeck: Well, then just do as you are told by the error message.
wa11: Then you should stop any further activity on that and provide all your information so far to your admin.
ActionParsnip:  http://www.pasteall.org/37264
ok
that was my output
i am admin :(
designbybeck  this is what i used to make vbox work    sudo modprobe vboxdrv;sudo modprobe vboxnetflt
wa11: Which I cant believe.
designbybeck: "Please install the linux-headers-3.5.0-18-generic package,
why?
designbybeck: if you run:   sudo apt-get --reinstall install linux-headers-3.5.0-18-generic   does it install?
designbybeck: Thats what the second message tells you.
will that not mess up anything else ActionParsnip?
designbybeck: how would it?
lol no clue!
bekks: this is a forensic pen test about wireless networking
i'm running it now ActionParsnip
i can log the users mac
but its not usefull
bekks r u there?
ActionParsnip:  bekks that worked! Thanks
wa11: I am here, yes. I'm trying to figure out why having the intruders MAC and still having control over your network infrastructure isnt enough to identify the location of the intruder.
is there a channel specific to asking questions about programming?
morphias  what language?
C++
morphias: try #c++
morphias  try #c++
ActionParsnip  was faster :)
morphias: see "/msg ubottu alis" for a method of searching for different channels on freenode
is it enough?
how?
channel C++ is invite only
morphias: see "/msg ubottu register" to fix that issue
wa11: Having the MAC, you can easily identify the location of the intruder by just asking your network switches: "which port is it that MAC is connected to?". Call the cops, tell them where to search, done.
morphias  type /msg nickserv register [password] [email]
^...wut
 /msg NickServ VERIFY REGISTER morphias cpvuzitpibnq
lol.
Fail reg
bekks :within wireless network?
lol
morphias: no space at the beginning.  use differnt password.
aight
wa11: Sure. Wireless access point doe not have inifinite range.
what is the key parameter in setpass?
What's ubuntu's version of ipconfig /flushdns?
that means the cops go to all my neighburs door!
bekks : what about this
macchanger -r wlanX
wa11: Well, whatever MAC it is, you know where it is connected to.
morphias: for help registering or finding channels try the #freenode channel.  "/join #freenode"
bekks : yes? thats what i search
wa11: And why dont you just shutdown your WLAN to secure your network?
wa11: I told you how to find it out. :)
bekks :i dont understand
sorry
wa11: Either disable external access until you've secured your network or just investigate to switch AP that intruding MAC is connected and take further steps (like calling the cops) to track down the intruder.
does irssi have the ability to split windows side by sid e?
bekks : but i want to learn this steps ! i told u this is a test.
wa11: Then you have to learn on how to monitor your network hardware, I guess.
d00ml0rd: I know it didn't at one point.  Not sure if that's still true.  Check the irssi docs.  I know weechat *can* do this though
hey guys
bekks: thats sounds good. but in this case i got his MAC, but i donot know how to discover his location!
how can I enable /etc/resolv.conf.tail file to add static dns servers ??
wa11: Then you have to learn on how to get that information from your hardware, which certainly isnt running Ubuntu.
beatsteaks: its default, just add the nameserver as you would in /etc/resolv.conf  and it gets added at the end
jrib thanks
bekks: ok , r u talking about his wireless card power or ttl in pinging and etc?
beatsteaks: should be in /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d   too ;)
ActionParsnip but not after reboot :/
wa11: No. I am talking about controlling your network hardware like routers, swicthes, etc.
bekks : my switches map his location? :D
wa11: you know the range of your AP and the port your AP is connected to a switch. And you know the physical location of the switch and of the AP. Isnt that enough?
beatsteaks: try adding it in the base file
bekks : i feel stupidy!!
ActionParsnip oki thanks, let me try
bekks: my AP is a gateway to internet and the clients use this to connect the internet
bekks : the intruders is in my LAN
wa11: So you know the location and the range. done.
hello
whois hhn
need help on configuring ethernet. The forums didn't help me. reeled my time and brain activity since a week. No solution! please help!
bekks: the location is my room for example and range 100 meter including 15 houses!
Melvin: what ethernet chip?
U mean the make?
Melvin: yes, and model
wa11: Well, thats wifi :)
bekks: so?
wa11: Thats all you can get then.
Atheros. I believe the model is AR813x/AR815x . I've googled my Lenovo's specs. No clue.
bekks : what can the cops do with this?
wa11: Track down the intruder.
<ActionParsnip>:Atheros. I believe the model is AR813x/AR815x . I've googled my Lenovo's specs. No clue.
Melvin: why not just run:   sudo lshw -C network
wa11: https://twitter.com/SadaoTurner/status/230737352958566401/photo/1/large invest in one of these :x
Melvin: Usually, either: lspci -nn        or: lsusb    will give some useful info about the adapter
Melvin: then you can see EXCACT:Y what it is rather than what the web says.....
<ActionParsnip> no. that doesnt work.
I have installed aptana on my system, but when I open the program, the icon on the left bar is a question mark and not the aptana icon, why?
hi all i was going to install ubuntu in virtual box and was wondering how much vido and cpu power to give it?. also should i use ubuntu 64 bit
Melvin: it's a default command in Ubuntu
Hi
Melvin: the command is case sensitive and the spaces are important too
<ActionParsnip> when ifconfig is entered as root, only wlan0 and lo are listed.
Melvin: if you run the command I ran, do you see an Ethernet chip?
fnlag know?
Melvin: or:  lspci    if a command with spaces is too hard
Hi, do you know fnlag?
ActionParsnip thanks it worked :D
beatsteaks: :)
hi everyone
Melvin: one line will identify the Ethernet chip, if not then you may want to check it is enabled in BIOS
anyone no how much ram and v ram and processor to give ubuntu in virtual box?
Tony_: which desktop are you using?
Tony_: on the guest, that is :)
who used kde instead unity ?
havent installed it yet but my host system is win 7  and i d-loaded the 64 bit version of ubuntu 12.10 i think it is the latest one
<ActionParsnip> I ran them !
steJaxx: Oh, another poll?
Melvin: do you see the controller
steJaxx: you can run unity in Kde if you want
steJaxx: unity isn't a replacement for Gnome
yes it is!!
question how to I print address Labels in LibireOffice?
<ActionParsnip> I do! its Atheros Communications Device [1969;1090] (rev 10)
bekks : thanks a lot!
wanted to have it all down so all i have to do is install it in virtual box and set it up and go from there
how can I run unity in kde ?
Melvin: ok, use the hex ID you see to find guides
In libireOffice CaLC, how do I print address Labels?
Anyone know why xdg-screensaver opens files in the bluray when I'm watching it with vlc?
steJaxx: you'll need to run compiz instead of kwin     I've not done it myself but in theory it makes sense
<ActionParsnip> I'm sorry but what hex ID?
Melvin: 1969:1090     they are hexadecimal values
<ActionParsnip> ok. what do i do with them.
bekks : in ur country cops can investigate all the 15 houses and check the MACs? :-p
Melvin: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=%221969%3A1090%22+ubuntu    something like that.....
steJaxx: kde already has a fullscreen launcher, unity like http://www.iloveubuntu.net/kde-developers-launch-homerun-unity-interface
very interesting
Braber00001: maybe ask in #libreoffice
Braber00001: source:  https://duckduckgo.com/?q=ubuntu+label+printer
<ActionParsnip> ok, will look into it. But stay here. I might need u again. thanks for that. will be right back!
<ActionParsnip> Come in!
Melvin: huh?
Greetings. I'm trying to compress 29GB of data. I'm using "Archive manager" to do this, but quite frankly, I can't wait 24 - 48 hours for it to compress. Is there some way of setting the compression level?
Fishscene, depends on the type of compression
<ActionParsnip> I tried that package! I recently posted a question on the same in "askubuntu.com".. would u please read that? here's the link.. http://askubuntu.com/questions/217719/unable-to-configure-ethernet-on-lenovo-g580-laptop
so in theory would 1 gig ram work and 2 processors and nowt sure how much video ram to allocate to it inside V-box
mikestweart: I have been using 7zip, which I *know* supports different levels, but I can't seem to find the options for it.
Fishscene: if you use options in gzip you can set compression level
Fishscene, er, rather no.  at least not via GUI
Fishscene: remember, higher the compression ratio, longer the time it takes to reach that ratio!
ActionParsnip: Is "gzip" the name of a program?
Fishscene: yes
Melvin: Correct. I suspect it's maximizing the compression, but I only need to shave a couple of gigs off
Can i run 'phtoscape.exe" with ubuntu 12.04LTS ?
Melvin: just a hint from the sideline: you don't need < > around nicknames
7zip has cli tools also
fishscene have u got 7zip?
please , help me ..
exit
Melvin: Yup. I'm looking up the command line now so I can set the compression level
I have installed aptana on my system, but when I open the program, the icon on the left bar is a question mark and not the aptana icon, why?
ActionParsnip any solution for that post?
please anyone have help for me this is my first virtual box setup
Tony_: Just assign 16MB VRAM.
Tony_:  i tend to just use the defaults, you can change them later
Melvin: http://www.linuxfoundation.org/collaborate/workgroups/networking/alx   seems to need the alx module
Would anyone be able to help with a minor question. I need to reinstall, I will be going with 12.04 my question is I have a amd c60 cpu which is 64bit would the 12.04 64bit be better for me then the 32bit?
If you create a fixed VDI in VirtualBox can you resize it??
yea but someone over at forums said it was quit lag with defualts so before i did it i came over here to ask lol
I undershot the size I needed!!
lonewulf85:  id go 64bit os on 64bit hardware these days
designbybeck: I'd ask in #vbox
Thanks ActionParsnip
designbybeck:  yes you can
fishscene tar -cvf file.tar /path/to/directory ; gzip -9 file.tar.gz
I think im having some over head issues on my headless ubuntu server which doesnt have xorg installed. When i do ps -A i see 11 apache processes. I closed all browsed all the browsers connected to my site and no one else has the link to it
Melvin: Thanks mate.
fishscene "9" is for the highest compression ratio.
dr_willis: Where I plan on learning to program will the 64bit cpu and kernel help me out?
ok so should i do a fixed lik3 20 or 30 gig virtual drive or let v- box handel it?
Any ideas?
fishscene however the default is not 1, but 6.
actioparsnip I tried that too. no luck. hope u r still patient :/
dr_willis:  I opened it with wine then so many numbers appears
Tony_:  you could always use more then one virtual drive if you wanted.
moonvoniron:  see #winehq for wine help.  i dont use photoshop
I think im having some overhead issues on my headless ubuntu server which doesnt have xorg installed. It seems to slow down noticeably at random times.  When i do ps -A i see 11 apache processes. I closed all browsed all the browsers connected to my site and no one else has the link to it
tab key. how? god!
devslash:  some services keep a few processes/threads 'open and ready' for when someone does connect
ok
:)
Dr_willis then how do i see if a process is slowing down my server
reason i ask is it defaults dynamically expanding virtual hard drive  but some say a fixed drive is better whats your take on this?
ActionParsnip come in!
devslash:  what does htop say about the system?
Tony_: Just use a dynamically sized disk for your first steps.
Tony_:  i use dynamic
i just use vbox to test different distros
devslash: apache starts by default several processes "just in case"
one more question can i safely run Ubuntu all the time in V-box? wanted to ask before i go all the  way here.
guys, I tried to chage icon size of unity and make it hide, but for some reason it didn't change anything
Tony_: of course
Tony_:  not sure what you mean by that
like can  i run it all the time like a normal install ?
ActionParsnip Come in!
Htop lists a lot of processes.im not sure how to read it
Tony_:  you could
Tony_: Ubuntu runs just fine in Virtualbox. The only caveats are hardware accelleration and working in a VM environment (same with any virtual machine)
devslash:  it should show the ones using the most cpu first
hmm how do i tell if i have hardware acceleration?
would somebody address my problem! :/
Melvin:  i dont even recall seeing you state a problem
Ok htop is at the top followed by 2 utorrent server processes and 18 mysqld processes
this is a picture from bad bunny
http://en.wikifur.com/wiki/File:Badbunny.jpeg
Tony_: Since a virtual machine runs on top of an existing operating system, it doesn't necessarily have native or full access to the hardware (especially for 3D graphics). But this is an issue with the nature of VM's themselves and not an Ubuntu-specific problem. However, I say go ahead and give it a try and see for yourself how well it works for you.
I did. ActionPArsnip was suppposed to be the medicine. He ain't online now i believe!
devslash:  and your total cpu load is what? what does uptime say about your load
ok i see so only way i will be able to tell is to install it configure it and go from there thanks will do and thanks for the help here :)
if htop is the top process.. then i imagine your load is quite low
Where does it show the load
dr_willis i have a lenovoG580 and the ethernet card doesnt show up in the terminal! ifconfig inputted, but no display of any eth0 or eth1 apart from lo and wlan0.
I mean the total load
should be a %cpu used somewhere
I plan on learning to program will the 64bit cpu and kernel help me out?
lonewulf85:  i doubt it it will matter much
Load average is 0.4%
lonewulf85:  'learning to program' could be done on a PaspberryPi ;)  its a big topic
dr_willis: I know that if I want to also program 64bit apps it might make a difference correct?
lonewulf85:  i imagine it will be some time befor 64bit vs 3bit matters to you.
32bit.
ANYONE??
Dr_willis the load average is 0.6%
dr_willis: alrighty thanks and now I get to reinstall apps YEAH!!!!
It varies
dr_willis
devslash:  seems nice and low to me.
Ok maybe my issue isnt a server overhead issue then
Melvin:  id check the forums and askubuntu.com about your exact make laptop and the chipset its using. its rare a wired nic dosent work.. and rarer for an ibm box to have issues
oh shit, gnome just flipped its shit, I'm fucked
Hello everyone. I need to know how to get a volume control applet in the panel (xfce) without resorting to the indicator plugin (I tried at #xubuntu but no one has answered) Any ideas?
dr_willis i tried the forums! no clue! i'm on a hunt since a week! believe me. i wdnt land here before going to the forums.
Melvin: https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/network-configuration.html
dr_willis My question on askubuntu.com.
Melvin:  tried askubuntu.com?
you did search there first? ;)
Melvin: Specifically, what happens when you run "sudo lshw -class network"
dr_willis http://askubuntu.com/questions/217719/unable-to-configure-ethernet-on-lenovo-g580-laptop
tst
Fishscene i ran that command . it says "sudo: /etc/sudoers.dreadme is mode 0555, should be 0440
Melvin:  i would also test with some other different distros, like puppylinux, tinycorelinux and other live cds
Melvin:  see if it works with any of them
Hi. wiki.ubuntu.com/Valve says to install NVIDIA drivers from 'Software Properties', but I do not see any drivers there. Can anyone help, please?
HI EVERYBODY!
zootsko: what ubuntu version?
jrib: 12.10
zootsko:  in 12.10 the addatoinal-drivers tab is in the 'software sources' tool now
Slm
12.04 on a new x1 carbon laptop - had it a month.  ~5 times the machine has just frozen solid... as in total coma.  screen freezes and no inputs work. It just happend when I opened Google Chrome, but it has happened other times as well.  Anything I can do to troubleshoot?  I've just rebooted
Melvin: dreadme = your username? Sounds like a permissions issue or something... which could be part of your problem.
Alo
Nistin
Fishscene: he probably means /etc/sudoers.d/README and just mistyped the error
dr_willis Here's the thing. i googled, ubuntuforumed, searched ask ubuntu.com regarding the inability of Lenovo g580's to automaticaly cinfigure ethernet . These lenovo's have an issue. A compat driver must be downloaded and installed via the terminal.
Khobid?
Fishscene:  i think he ment   sudoers.d/readme
dr_willis: I see no drivers under the 'Additional drivers' tab. Just an empty list.
fishscene username? where?
zootsko:  and your video card is? is it one of those optimus chipsets?
oh hah. I didn't even see that. ...but strange that it would throw that error after running "sudo lshw -class network"
dr_willis: Its GeForce GT 630M
sounds like hes been messing in sudoers.d/
i'm trying to configure ubuntu as a tftp server for pxe boot. it seems like i'm starting to get things right but i'm stuck at a certain spot and can't figure out what's wrong
Fishscene here it is. http://askubuntu.com/questions/217719/unable-to-configure-ethernet-on-lenovo-g580-laptop
dr_willis http://askubuntu.com/questions/217719/unable-to-configure-ethernet-on-lenovo-g580-laptop
ses1984: Are you following a guide? If so, post the guide and let us know which step you are stuck on
on the machine, i can tftp localhost, and get pxelinux.0 which i got from netboot.tar.gz from ubuntu's server. extracted the whole thing into /srv/tftp
https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/installation-guide/i386/install-tftp.html
the client starts to pxe boot, gets an ip from the dhcp server, and gets pxelinux.0 from the tftp server. i can see in the syslog of the server that the client requested pxelinux.0
then the client just says "MTFTP..." and does nothing after that
Melvin:  so .. you got an answer on what you need to do? you just dont understand  it?
dr_willis Thats my question in askubuntu.com buddy. thought that would give u a clear look on what i'm trying to convey.
im on my phone so cant do much research.  you said you needed some driver. where did that info come from?
what network card is it ?
Melvin: eth0 not showing up indicates that the proper driver isn't loaded
ses1984: Check the solution here and see if it helps: http://scug.be/sccm/2011/01/13/configmgr-2007-pxe-boot-amp-mtftp-defaulting-and-make-you-wait-for-10-15-minutes
thanks i'll check it out
guys, changing icon size and hiding unity is impossible. It's like ubuntu is ignoring what i'm changing
sianhulo:  make a new user.. see if it works for them.
chaingun THATS exactly what i mean! where do i star from! please help!!
Melvin: what network card is it
sianhulo:  ive seen where some config files get owned by root and thus cant get changed.. the new user test may give a clue if thats the case
dr_willis, well, this is dresh install, though i kept my /home, in the case it works with other user what should I do then?
ikonia atheros AR813x/Ar815x...
that's wireles
wireless
Melvin: Your first step is to find out what the correct driver is. Then determine whether it is available in the standard repositories or not. If it is, you're in luck. Just install from there and you should be good to go. Otherwise, your best bet is to grab the source for the proper driver, and compile/install it yourself.
sianhulo:  you could just reset all your unity and compiz settinga back to default also
i need help , 2 weeks ago i installed ubuntu , what to do with  dev/mapper/cryptswap1 , ?
ses1984: "MTFTP" seems to refer to "Multicast Trivial File Transfer Protocol" - which I'm not sure why anyone would be using that. so if you aren't, you might also want to look into anything that might be enabling a multicast option on your PXE setup.
Melvin: This is not a simple process if this is your first time messing with this stuff. But you will learn a lot as you work through it.
bbl.. gotta run
gapert: why did you encypt swap ?
i don know,
dr_willis, well, i'll google that as i tried it already, I think they changed them so I'll leave, thanks
Hi. Can someone transfer this bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-screensaver/+bug/1024800 to the package responsible for the "Keyboard layout" option in System settings
Dezgeg: transfer this bug ?
that's not the correct package i presume
Dezgeg: the bug team will pick it up
well that's over 4 months old already
Dezgeg: the bug team will pick it up
Melvin: I assume you have come across this http://www.zyxware.com/articles/2680/solved-wired-connection-eth0-not-detected-in-ubuntu-12-04
i installed ubuntu , then after a few days ago , don anything about it
chaingun hows that possible. here's the list. now i can't try all these packages right!! http://linuxwireless.org/download/compat-wireless-2.6/
Melvin:  that article I just linked walks you through it
oops
chaingun Yes, i have! No luck with that bro!
sorry
Melvin: that is your wireless
Melvin:  what step do you get stuck on
Melvin: you said your ethernet
the article states that this fixes the wired issue as well
I don't pretend to understand how
ikonia its an ethernet LAN controller.
Melvin: right - so why are you looking at wireless networking packages
Melvin:  I have about 2 minutes before I have to go.
Melvin:  what part do you get stuck at?
chaingun when i say ifconfig my LAN card soesn't show up in the terminal.
have you compiled and installed that driver?
Oh dear god. I really wonder why people ever bother even trying, Stockholm syndrome I guess.
I changed my password using 'passwd' and I can login via ssh but not sftp because it rejects the password. Is there a way to refresh this?
chaingun no.
Fishscene: i figured the part about the multicast tftp and i haven't found anything to indicate why it's being used in my config. still looking. by the way i'm using ddwrt as the dhcp server using dhcpd and dnsmasq
changun i cant see mu eth0.
what is the best .nl channel too ask what do about the dev/mapper/cryptswap ? sometimes i get a little chance too press S for mount or M for maniging by hand
Melvin: Then check "ifconfig -a"
Melvin: because you haven;t installed the driver yet
install the driver and it should appear
I must go. If I am back on later I can try to help more
debian 6.0.6,  mrtg 2.16.3-3 ... it appears that mrtg is trying to monitor things I didn't ask for, and failing to get systemUptime (which doesn't exist looking at snmpwalk output on the box) generates an e-Mail every 5 minutes, which is annoying  ... googling for 1 h shows similar reports for the last 12 years :} ... feeding the option NoMIB2 seems to make this go away; would it be worthwhile to create a bug-report w/ solution?
ikonia
Melvin: what ?
chaingun so how do i get that driver?
tinkster: How is that related to Ubuntu?
Ooops
right you are
wrong channel
ses1984: Acknowledged. I had a few .... fun trials when trying to configure the DHCP server when I had ddwrt a few years ago. I'm horribly out of touch with that project now though. =\
chaingun the forums say thats the only way i can get my ethernet LAN working. But i'm screwed.
bekks that doesnt help either! only wlan0 and lo are listed
Melvin: why will you not answer the quesiton, what network card is it
THE THING NOW IS TO FIND THAT COMPATIBLE DRIVER!
IKONIA ITS ATHEROS!
Melvin: typing in caps won't help
Melvin: that is your wireless card
not your ethernet card
dr_willis, ok, this is wierd, I used unity-reset for the matter, and it changed for what I put, however, jsut for a few seconds and came back to normal....
ikonia no! its the LAN card.
Melvin: it is possible, but I don't agree it is
How would Melvin display the ethernet adapter card info?
dr_willis, nevermind, now it changed again
Fishscene: By using lspci -vvn e.g.
lspci will show the devices or lshw
sv
fishscene its atheros AR813x/ AR815x! the correct version isnt known. i tried the internet for the lenovo G580 specs and hardware config. no sound.
Melvin: try: lspci | grep "Ethernet"
"the correct versions isn't known" - nonsense
I am attempting to build the netcat-openbsd package from source. I've checked out the contents with 'apt-get source netcat-openbsd'. I then run 'dpkg-source -x netcat-openbsd_1.89-3ubuntu5.dsc' and that completes successfully. But, upon build there are errors.
fishscene that command doesn't display a thing
votz: why are you building it from source
Melvin: pastebin the output of "lspci" please.
votz: there is a package
Melvin: (please make sure in a pastebin, not the channel)
netcat-openbsd-1.89/netcat.c isn't modified, even though there are changes to netcat.c that should be applied in the diff. They aren't. Any idea why?
iknia. one moment. on it.
ikonia: I would like to port this openbsd version of netcat to a different version of linux. I am starting by getting it built on Ubuntu.
votz: there is no value in building it on ubuntu
if you are going to port it
just build it on the target platform
ikonia: I need to resolve the patching issue first, Ubuntu or not.
votz: then resolve it
ikonia: I have also attempted to patch manually, following this guide: http://ftp.debian.org/debian/doc/source-unpack.txt. I am unsure why netcat.c remains unpatched.
votz: unpack the source, patch it and build it outside of the deb system
Hello all
I'm back!
I am developing a (sort of) music player (simple stuff + crossplatform libraries) I can compile it for MS Windows (exe binaries), BUT I need someone to compile it to Ubuntu (So, even I could use in my loved Ubuntu PC), can anyone do this, please?
fishscene
ikonia
ikonia http://pastebin.com/dqMtL7HS
thanks in advance :)
jorgerosa: what language is it written in
c++
im using c::B
jorgerosa: what display libraries ?
Fishscene http://pastebin.com/dqMtL7HS
but is simple only 1 c++ file + libs
Melvin: it's a broadcom
oops
no it's not
jorgerosa: what graphics library is it using
Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications Device 1090 (rev 10)
ikonia: can i post urls here?
jorgerosa: no
jorgerosa: just tell me
jorgerosa: you've written it
Melvin: sudo update-pciids
jorgerosa: what  graphics library
llutz: I was just thinking the pci id is probably wrong
ikonia: or too new to be recognized
ok, its IMP - Irrlicht Media Player (on sourceforgenet) it uses Irrlicht + Audiere (thats all)
llutz: that's the other
jorgerosa: you said you had written it
y
ikonia http://pastebin.com/PHy498L1
jorgerosa: right - so what graphics library is it using
Irrlicht (3D graphics engine)
jorgerosa: it must be using something to draw the actual display
OpenGl, u mean?
GTK/QT/MFC/$something
Melvin: is that after update-pcids ?
an, nope, all from Irrlicht (simple embed -crossplatform- keyboard + windows stuff, no needs aditional stuff)
ikonia the result of the command http://pastebin.com/Y5D6rgej
ikonia: This is what I'm doing. http://pastie.org/private/tgsdmgrib6uasxjr8rjq
its kind of a sort of mini SDL an Wx (if i may say that way)
ikonia oops! is it pcids or pciids?
Melvin: That Sudo problem needs to be fixed or you aren't going to get anywhere fixing this issue.
Melvin: this is backtrack !!!!
ikonia yes it is!
Melvin: this channel supports UBUNTU
-_____-
ikonia i know. that backtrack channel wasn't responsive. and the same issue goes in ubuntu too!
sorry - no
you need to tack this to backtrack
In the diff file, there are patches like http://pastie.org/private/ngzcabqldubew3osz5qbta. But after the patch, netcat.c remains unpatched at the Feb 20, 2007 version. Here is the output of the patch command. http://pastie.org/private/4bn9wun6gdzaapm56xuew. No errors.
ikonia the config is similar in both! the same kernel resides in both of them.
sorry - no
Melvin: this needs to go to backtrack
votz: why are you trying to patch it outside the source tree ?
ikonia no no! you see, i've tried really hard since a week and half. 14hrs a day on my system, and please dont abandon this!
Melvin: it's not for this channel
Melvin: Each distro handles things *slightly* differently, which makes it exceedingly difficult for even related distro's to iron out issues such as this. If you can duplicate this problem within Ubuntu and work on this *though* Ubuntu, then we can assist.
fishscene i concur. shoot!
ikonia: The patch file headers are prefixed with netcat-openbsd-1.89/ and -p0 is used.
brb. I need to take care of some things.
votz: it doesn't look like it's patching it
ikonia now shoot! help me out ! its ubuntu now !
Melvin: no you are not
hi guys I'm pretty new to shell scripting and I'm wondering how I'd manage to do 2 things, using df-h how would I only get the Size and Used value? and how would I multiply a variable by 0.0009765625 says something about the base being too big
Melvin: please take it to #backtrack-linux
maslo: #bash can help you with scripting
ikonia: Ya. I don't know why.
how do i configure my servers so postfix stops asking me that useless goddamn question during upgrades
ikonia it says "cannot send to channel"
Melvin: you're not registered
sorry for the rage, but this just killed an entire client's server of mine
postfix popped up its question during a headless upgrade, AFTER postgresql was shut down. doom.
ikonia assist please. registration,
when i provision a new server, the first thing i want to do is tell dpkg STOP ASKING ME ABOUT POSTFIX
nice to know you lied about asking in the backtrack channel too
MFen: thanks fofr that random pointless outburst, please don't do it again
lol @ bt
ikonia: so you don't know?
MFen: don't know what ?
the answer to the question
why is 12.10 so unstable?
MFen: you've not asked a question
Qalqi: it's not,
MFen: sudo dpkg-reconfigure postfix -> "configure later"
you've just ranted
(unless I missed the question)
Qalqi: how it is unstable?
ikonia: it was above. (not very far above.)
llutz: dpkg-reconfigure is too late. i want this done before i even attempt to install postfix. i want to never see that prompt, even once
while on the postfix subject what would be best small email program for a linux server?
MFen: it's asking you to configure postfix during the upgrade as it needs a response
oldgettingsomewh: personal choice, pick what you like
oldgettingsomewh: mail
Hi! All.
yo robert_
ikonia: it doesn't. postfix has a config file already. i set it up by hand during install. by even asking me that question, postfix is asking me whether i want to ruin my handmade config file
ikonia what would you use?
hi guys I usually do `du -sh * | sort -h` to sort by file size in precise
but I have a lucid machine here and it says the sort -h option do not exist
MFen: so answer "no"
ikonia: Running patch with --verbose doesn't highlight anything useful. I'm at a loss as to why some things aren't being patched. Patches for netcat.c and other unpatched files reside in the diff. Example: http://pastie.org/private/vphjh2erh7wn2db6hc15q
bibinou: you can also right click the empty spots in nautilus
ikonia: "no" isn't even an answer to the prompt, but the prompt itself is the problem
do you CLI wiz know if that was added recently ?
MFen: it wants you to answer
is there a general way to configure your system so interactive prompts are never shown
MFen: your only real option is to use response files
ah, there we go. how do i use response files?
woot : yeah I want a list of files in the directory sorted by file size
ikonia which IRC client must i use?
Melvin: anyone you want
Melvin: I've not done it for a long time
Melvin: sorry that wasn't for you
hi, anyone has installed correctly skype from repository on precise 64bit? i continue getting failed depencencies about multiarch
woot-0854: not the size of this dir
MFen: I've not done it for a long time, but that's what you need
bibinou: @ / ?
ikonia I''m on winXP. so which one? :1
Hi! All.
Melvin: anyone you want
bibinou: you use gparted?
I just installed UBUNTU STUDIO.
ikonia: thanks! i google now.
how would I store
hddmax=`df -h | grep /dev/simfs | awk {'print $2'}` without it executing the result as a command?
Is Melvin still in here?
chaingun yeah:/
woot-0854: not installed but you can do that with gparted ?
chaingun: he's using backtrack so I suggest joinining him in #backtrack-linux if you want to help him
Did you get that driver installed?
ikonia: oh
ikonia I have pidgin. never knew i could integrate to it! thanks a ton for everything! will remember! \m/
chaingun no. i'm supposed to hit backtrack ://
ikonia: looks like it's actually debconf-set-selections that i want! http://serverfault.com/questions/228266/how-do-i-generate-a-response-file-to-be-used-with-apt-get-or-aptitude
but "response files" led me there so thanks again
bibinou: you still there?
chaingun but backtrack's linux too. the poing being here: Unable to butkick LAN !
Melvin: bravo
MFen: bravo
ikonia: Do you have any further ideas? I'm stumped. Could you try those 5 lines yourself and see if you can reproduce the problem?
votz: I don't have the packages here as I'm no on ubuntu
votz: if you tar them up for me and put them on a url I will
ikonia: One moment. Thank you.
Hi all, I have an issue with wifi
It's got me at a loss.
chaingun
lol k so I right clicked on the drive @ / and looked at propertys Idk y but it says I have 170 TB of info :D lol its a 140gb disk
Melvin: enough now, take it to #backtrack-linux please.
I can't even see it in lspci or lsusb -- is that even possible?
ikonia relax. its not that now! :)
Melvin: then take it to a private message, this is channel is for Ubuntu support/discussion
Mel armitage and gtfo w bt megasploit tracking stations.  learn and hide
woot-0854: please stop such comments
aye
thank you
ikonia: http://www.fileconvoy.com/dfl.php?id=g5d70ebd3fdae82e91706524bc6d1a2b4eaa926. That is the output of 'apt-get source netcat-openbsd'.
Melvin: What's up?
votz: getting it
I'm in #backtrack-linux now too in case people are getting aggrivated
chaingun: thank you
So, are there any circumstances under which a Wi-fi device wouldn't show in lspci or lsusb?
chaingun one moment !
Any new Unity developments?
votz: have you tried manually applying each patch in debian/patches ?
chartax what is it?
Gnome3 and Grub2 are both more epic than I know how to use yet
ikonia: No, I have not.
Melvin: My Wi-fi adapter which was previously working fine has ceased doing so
Chartax: ifconfig wlan0 down && iwconfig wlan0 mode managed && ifconfig wlan0 up
votz: which file did you say wasn't getting patched
ikonia: I'm positive netcat.c isn't. Maybe others.
ran ifconfig? turned the wireless on? Check the BIOS if wireless adapter is enabled or disabled.
votz: it's not getting patched
 I tried putting it down, then up, but didn't try changing it to managed mode. It's definitely enabled and works under Win 7.
Chartax ran ifconfig? turned the wireless on? Check the BIOS if wireless adapter is enabled or disabled.
ikonia: Ya. I don't know why. If you look in the .diff file there are entries to patch netcat.c, ++++ netcat-openbsd-1.89/netcat.c	2008-01-22 16:17:25.000000000 -0500, etc
chartax tell me everything. Ehts the issue. and output for the commands u ran..
Melvin: I just tried to change it to mode managed and got an operation not permitted error.
hi guys i have here a computer with several problems, that i'd like to solve if possible: 1st: always when i try to launch a program in the fullscreen mode like supertux or a wine application then i only get the border of the window and then it hangs, 2nd: my system sometimes seems to hang a little bit while it tries to launch an application or when i'm using it, it anyhow seems to run a...
...little bit slow sometimes like anything slows it down, 3rd: i had a wine application installed, a car race "trackmania" but it launched only once, after that it didn't launch anymore i don't know why, perhaps this problem can also be cleared, that would be cool, and 4th: isn't really an issue, i'd just like to have this on my pc running as well: i'd like to know if it makes sense to use...
votz: may have it - hang on
...compiz fusion when i want to have  this fire effects and the water ripples, still haven't have this
thank you.
chartax on ubuntu right?
ikonia: I'm not going anywhere.
Yup.
sorry got dc'ed right after asking you a question Chartax
Chartax: what is iwconfig output?
No problem woot-0853
Chartax: what mode?
sorry dont past outputs
paste
ikonia: I think you might be on to something wrt debian/patches. A quick grep through debian/patches/ returns instances of 'netcat.c'.
Woot: managed.
Chartax: is it working?
votz: yes, that's where I'm looking too
It tries to connect to a network I entered which previously worked, hangs for a bit, then requests authentication again
It's wpa2-personal
I have horrible wifi download speeds. I am using a 802.11 g adapter. The wifi router is less than 10 ft away... help!
chartax so you can FIND your adapter listed when u run  ifconfig huh!
votz: look at Makefile.rej
Chartax: ok did you flip the switch to monitor,ad-hoc or master at all this session?
No, not that I recall doing anything like that.
Melvin: I see it in iwconfig but not ifconfig.
Chartax: ifconfig wlan0 up
hay
ikonia: I don't see it. I'm restarting from scratch to see if I can reproduce it.
sry hey reboot the pc if all eles fails
woot- I put the WLAN back up, recreated the connection, same issue.
Tries to connect for a bit then fails.
Or, rather, requests auth,
chartax ok. that means its getting switched off on a time interval as soon as it tries to connect.
is that something I need to configure on the wireless AP?
ikonia: I can't produce a Makefile.rej. How did you produce that file?
chartax your wireless adapter is A ok!!! there's a glitch in the passphrases and connection.
votz: if you run a patch against the dif the failed hunks are saved there
Due to this stupid flood bot who told me not to "flood" though i just wrote a long text *darn flood bot*, i give you a link with my text again.
http://pastebin.com/0fKzFkLg
ikonia: How are you running the patches?
in debian/patches/
Melvin: how'd I resolve that? Do I need to change something on the wireless router?
I could try taking it off wpa2 but I rather wouldn't
from the source root -Np1 -i
chartax whats ur make? the adapter.
In the PC, I amnt completely positive since there's multiple conflicting sources. I think it's a Ralink
in ubuntu 12.10 how do i find out in my graphics are install correctly?
It won't show in lspci or lsusb though, which I find is odd
ikonia: Does applying each of those patches in the source root solve the problem
I have horrible wifi download speeds. I am using a 802.11 g adapter. The wifi router is less than 10 ft away... help!
chartax not showing in lspci as "network controller"?? hocome!
votz: no, but it does show the failed hunks
votz: "connect-timeout.patch" appears to be the problem one
Melvin: I amnt sure, I see my Ethernet card but not the wireless.
Fuzzles, software souces now has the functionality of jockey. but you can also look at glxinfo | grep -i renderer
Pranith: Change your wifi broadcast channel
ikonia: What loop did you use to apply the patches? Can you paste it here. I want to run exactly what you did.
escott, jockey?
votz: just applied them one at a time
didn't look as I didn't have the correct order
s/look/loop
Why does my desktop go into initramfs with the message ALERT! /dev/disk/by-uuid... does not exist.. WHen I push control-alt-tab on bootup, it works tho.
eagle1
chartax try ifconfig wlan0 up
Melvin: it was already up, trying to reconnect now though.
I've checked the uuid number with blkid, and its there.
chartax ralink realtek.. what version>
votz: try this
escott, whats jockey?
sander_, what does ctrl-alt-tab do? and when are you pressing it?
Fuzzles, its something you dont have so don't worry about it
move the connect-timeout.patch to the level above the source root - and do a patch -Np0 -i connect-timeout.patch
votz: it then applies and patches the netcat.c patch
Fuzzles, your answers are software-sources or glxinfo | grep -i renderer
escott, I just got told here earlier to press it.. not sure what it does really.. I'm pressing it right after the bios.
Melvin: I think the model number is either RT3070 or RT5370, but I amnt positive
sander_, after the bios but before grub?
Hard
Hard to tell without lspci or lsusb details
escott, so how do i check that when i installed ubuntu 12.10 that my grpahics card is working auto
votz: looks like that diff has a bug in it as a master patch
sander_, i guess im wondering why ctrl-alt-tab and not ctrl-alt-6 or shift-tab or any other random combination of keys
votz: the patches work one at a time
ikonia: Applying them one at a time by hand yields hunk failed errors. Is there a way to determine the order in which I should apply these patches?
escott, the ubuntu screen is there.. with the timebar.
Or just use -N as you did above.
Fuzzles, open a terminal and type in "glxinfo | grep -i renderer"
sander_, so at plymouth
escott, maybe it's tab+control. or tab+alt.. I don't remember.
votz: normally the patches are numbered to give you an idea, eg: 01-patch-blah.patch, 02-patch-blah-blit.patch
votz: looks like a sloppy build
chartax /etc/init.d/network-manager restart
escott, I just pushed them all.. and I got back in, phew!.
escott, but I want to get rid of that when it boots.
ikonia: Ah! The order is in the file debian/patches/series.
votz: good spot
sander_, i cant imagine what that key would be doing. there really isnt anything in the early boot that listens for keypresses. im guessing the act of pressing the key is causing just enough delay to avoid some kind of race condition in device enumeration... but it sounds odd. I would try one of the kernel rootwait argumenet
Melvin: just tried that, same issue
Going to start over from scratch and follow series' order. See if that works.
sander_, so in /etc/default/grub on the CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT add "rootdelay=5"
votz: should do, I've just been working through them one at a time
hi guys
chartax if we assume your wireless adapter is switching off at times, try this sudo gedit /etc/rc.local
I'm getting an error when I do sudo apt-get update
SunMoonStar: Have you added any software sources?
chartax
chartax sleep 10
jCuber: no
chartax
jCuber: its weird, it gets a lot of files and then some 404s
chartax and then enter iwconfig wlan0 power off
SunMoonStar: is your PC
SunMoonStar: Connected to the internet
yes im on here :)
Did you want me to do the gedit thing first?
escott, correct?: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash rootdelay=5"
which ones are getting 404? can you reach the url in a browser?
nobody you can send me an answer related to my issues?
sander_, sure. then sudo update-grub
hey can anyone recomend a good ch. to start back in friendly irc. its been 10 years of so.
escott, thanks, then i'll reboot and try it. :-)
jCuber: for some reason it cuts off some of the log in the terminal but shows this bit: http://pastebin.com/bTzwJ7Vp
Marvin: I powered off wlan0 now.
how come when using "less" cmd to view .php file, everything is one line? not easy to view. what's the best way to view .php from terminal?
tpumma: why not nano?
tpumma: because you don't have any newlines probably
tpumma: are there new lines in the file or is it all on one line?
tpumma: because your .php file hasn't got any line breaks
veryhappy: What is the problem?
chartax power it on and find the latest driver for your card!
escott, thanks. it worked :-)
smak the php dude up
how unstable are the 13.04 daily builds at the moment - I really haven't been having success with them
also, PHP is horrible
tpumma: try using vi or vim
Chartax: nano much better!
gordonjcp: word
thanks
SunMoonStar: Try going to those addresses on your browser
gordonjcp: Actually, nope.
sander_, given how tight your race condition is you could probably drop to rootdelay=1 if those 4 seconds are important to you
gordonjcp: it really depends on who is writing it and what PHP
php sawks
wyclif: not found page comes up
wyclif: maybe it's a problem on ubuntu server end?
gordonjcp: PHP 5.4 is a perfectly serviceable web language
Melvin: I already tried the latest drivers, but I have many problems with them
* SolarisBoy laughing at that one
It would seem that Ralink released new drivers today
like this one for example http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/quantal-security/restricted/binary-i386/Packages
gordonjcp: lots of improvements. Don't forget, you can write shit code in any language, my friend
php is broken
The link is actually broken and points to a 0 byte file
escott, pretty quick now. :-)
wyclif: have you ever looked inside PHP?
its a hack
Sorry for the intrusion folks nite
SolarisBoy: there are new lines in file but less or vim shows everything as one line.
are you guys able to get this page, or is it just me? http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/quantal-security/restricted/binary-i386/Packages
sander_, its just really strange.. you must have a race that is only a few microseconds... otherwise a keyboard interrupt isn't going to do anything useful
http://www.phptherightway.com/
smh
there is no right php
this is nothing to do with ubuntu
gordonjcp: I've done a ton of work in PHP. Yes.
john1819: What exactly do you mean by "ch"?
Hi. how can I prevent a user from changing his/her password?
confusing business logic with ui meh
wyclif: actually on the PHP code itself?
wyclif: i'd rather use vim but everything is showing up as one line when viewing .php
escott, so you think I should just try for the curiosity of it.. to make it 1 second?
mrwhistler, change it to something he doesn't know
what would cause ubuntu 10.04 to get a way slower test reading on transfer rates on both lan, and internet versus, a windows computer
gordonjcp: YES.
tpumma: it sounds like your .php file has no line breaks in it
wyclif: awful, isn't it?
mrwhistler, remove the passwd utility or mark it as non-suid
Eighteens: a poor propritary network card driver on linux
Eighteens: network drivers
Hi guys, my apt-get update wasn't able to fetch this url among others. Can you guys tell me if you are able to fetch it, or do you get a 404? http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/quantal-security/restricted/binary-i386/Packages
escott: and just allow automatic login?
gordonjcp: It's a oneliner :D
tpumma: you can print line breaks and such characters in vim to ensure but like they said
or just set a password policy of -1
sounds like there are no line breaks
tpumma: can you upload the offending file somewhere?
the computer windows gets 33mbps on speedtest, and the ubuntu computer gets 3.1mbs
votz: looks like it
I really don't care. The *NIX way is "the right tool for the job." PHP is the right tool for some jobs. So in my professional opinion, I don't pay any attention to the "PHP Sucks" n00b stuff.
http://whohasthefastestcomputer.com/flopsmeter/
it does suck
I'd like to see that job...
lol
chartax can u paste the output and let me know!
ikonia: Boom. When I remove DEBIAN_VERSION it compiles on Ubuntu. Next - port to the other linux distro.
sander_, if you are really curious you can start building your own kernels and bisect back to the change that caused this. depends on how much you care and how much your time is worth.... when you spend days trying to figure out what happens in a millisecond... that makes you a kernel developer i guess
ikonia: Thank you so very much for your help, input, and time.
Me
http://www.phptherightway.com/
whats php doing that any other language can't do?
I owe you a beer.
and on top of that hacking it's way about doing it..
votz: nice job, you are more than welcome
Melvin: sorry, I replied but it got lost in this swarm of text
wyclif: you've already posted that- please stop, this channels isn't for the php argument
mrwhistler, it seems a weird thing to be doing, and isn't entirely supported. why do you want to do this?
chartax use pastebin or ubuntupastebin
I tried to install the latest driver and ir didn't
wyclif: yeah, so I'm kind of going on the whole "PHP sucks" n00b stuff based on my notes going back to php-fi
Seem to work great
ikonia: then stop arguing about PHP!
wyclif: can you try that url?
wyclif: I'm not
BC, I have a computer that will be used by lots of people all using a "guest" account of sorts
gordonjcp: it has line breaks. nano can view all the line breaks but not vim or less
wyclif: admittedly I've only been using PHP *seriously* since PHP2 was current
mrwhistler, so what you SHOULD be doing is regenerating that account every time they logout
see, here's the thing. I don't do programming language religion. You'll have to do that without me. But thanks for trying.
chartax run the ifconfig, iwconfig and paste them in pastebin
tpumma: then it may have Windows line breaks - do you see lots of "^M" in it?
jCuber: http://pastebin.com/0fKzFkLg
Melvin: can you try the URL?
tpumma: was the file created on a diff OS?
One sec Melvin - gonna put it on eth0 so I can get net
mrwhistler, otherwise one malicious user can leave a "userkit" behind to steal the next users passwords or files
escott, it's probably fixed in a newer version of ubuntu.
SunMoonStar: yes. try it in gedit. or vi. or vim
i'm running 2.6.34
wyclif: huh?
escott: how does one control that, is there some folder that i can put scripts in that are executed on logout?
yes
wyclif: here's my message from before: http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/quantal-security/restricted/binary-i386/Packages
er
Hi guys, my apt-get update wasn't able to fetch this url among others. Can you guys tell me if you are able to fetch it, or do you get a 404? http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/quantal-security/restricted/binary-i386/Packages
mrwhistler, various ways... if the machine is sitting out in the open (ie no physical control) you need to configure a pxe boot, and just set the thing up to reboot on logout
escott:without sudo how would they install such a user kit?
SunMoonStar: 404 here
Hi guys; Im trying to install ubuntu 12.04 64 bit from a live usb stick, but when I try to boot I get the message "kernel panic not syncing out of memory and no killable process" and a call trace. Im confident that the usb stick is ok, as the installer run when i put the stick on a windows machine and I had live booted with it before. Not sure if it is worth to mention, but I had a failed win 7 installation just before trying the liv
SunMoonStar: 404 Error
somsip: if you do a sudo apt-get update do you get errors?
escott: it will be a VM on a windows box
wyclif: thanks
SunMoonStar: I probably don't use the source that you do
mrwhistler, b/c with physical access they can get root and leave rootkits behind. otherwise I could just install a firefox plugin to the user profile and have that plugin send me their passwords
Chartax also hit "lshw -class network"
somsip: maybe i have a problem with my source? how can i check?
Orange_: Can you try running memtest?
mrwhistler, then that is very easy. configure the VM server to clone the image before starting it, and then destroy the image on shutdown
SunMoonStar: SunMoonStar http://www.downforeveryoneorjustme.com/
escott: wonder if that is possible on vmware player
gordonjcp: i see "^M". lots of it
Jordan_U: Im starting one now from the bios
mrwhistler, i dont know. keep in mind if they have physical access to the machine then they have control (no matter what OS is running)
dont some of the VM's have some 'copy on write' feautre where any changes get saved to a file. so you remove that file and the vm is back to original>
SolarisBoy: .php was from windows and linux both
veryhappy: 1.Probably just a problem with Wine. 2. I think all computers have a little lag. Make sure you've installed your GPU drivers
mrwhistler, so im not sure how windows is secured here, but if you could secure against access to the host OS and just need to secure the VM image you can do lots of stuff. store a pristine copy remotely and swap it out between sessions
tpumma: okay, then you have DOS-like line endings
Jordan_U: though it is worth to say that the pc was in use before I attempted to reinstall the OSs and I did not notice any memory problem
escott: i think that is the tree to bark up
Jordan_U: the bios memory test pass
can open vim and try :set list
thanks
it will show all the characters in the file including \n \r etc
mrwhistler, enterprise vms certainly have what dr_willis is talking about (COW and all) but probably not vmware player. vmware player probably just supports a full clone when the guest is off
its possible i can deploy workstation
tpumma: open the file in vi/vim and try something like ":%s/<CTRL-V><CTRL-M>//g
hey guys, I was wondering if there's a way to manage how much ram goes to my intel g41(itnegrated gpu?
tpumma: without the leading quote
mrwhistler, "deploy" sounds like what you want
sianhulo, i dont think so
veryhappy: 3. Once again, probably a problem with Wine. Check out the WineHQ if anybody has similar issurs or solutions
tpumma: when you type "<CTRL-V><CTRL-M>" it should show up as "^M" and highlighted
anyone here running 12.10?
Melvin: you still here?
chartax yeah
Sorry about the delay: had to move my extremely heavy PC :p
chartax the outputs!!
escott: hell yea
escott, then... is there a way to know how much is reciving right now?
Chartax No problemo!!
sianhulo, check dmesg to see how the dma ranges are setup
Does anyone here run 12.10 and have problems with sudo apt-get update right this moment
sunmoonstar what problems?
veryhappy: 4. http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-newbie-8/fire-and-water-effect-in-compiz-fusion-599364/
SunMoonStar, I have no problems at all, a workaround might be isntall aptitude
failed to fetch files problems
SunMoonStar: you may have local connection problems
I don't as I'm on here on the problem computer
ok not sure if its an ubuntu issue (unity) or grpahics driver or something else but...
i'm on 12.10 64 bit, nvidia card using properitary drivers
sunmoonstar reinstall software center and see.
ONLY since upgrading from 12.04 my twinview randomly gets hosed (every day and its driving me nuts)
escott, i ran dmesg |grep -i agp and it seems it has 256m
Marvin: On the PC with the issue now.
hosed == resolution and monitor placement suddenly change and my windows go all over the place
gordonjcp: it says pattern not found. I'll check back later to see how to get around the dos line break
Here's the ifconfig: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1361451/
Jordan_U: any idea of what could be the problem? Im running a hard disk test now
i tried updating to latest stable nvidia drivers and same issue
never had this problem is previous version of ubu (been using since 8.x)
Here's iwconfig: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1361453/
tpumma: there's a program called something like dos2unix
any help or ideas is appreciated
sunmoonstar try this ---find /etc/apt -name '*.list' -exec bash -c 'echo -e "\n$1\n"; cat -n "$1"' _ '{}' \;---
tpumma: did you type the ^M as Control-V followed by Control-M like I said?
Melvin: problem:
http://pastebin.com/nGshSa7z
Melvin: where are you getting this stuff from ?
via pastebin.com kom ik ook zonder probreblemen op piratebay
jCuber: i read your answers, but then i can't understand that i get only a border when i try to launch supertux in fullscreen mode or a higer resolution, as this is not a wine program, but a native program
does anyone else has any hint why I get the message "kernel panic not syncing out of memory and no killable process" and a call trace when trying to boot from 12.04 64 bit live disk. Im confident that the usb stick is ok, as the installer run when i put the stick on a windows machine and I had live booted with it before. Not sure if it is worth to mention, but I had a failed win 7 installation just before trying the live cd
if anyone can help with that or even a cheap shot the help would be appreciated
SunMoonStar: your file system is mounted read only
SunMoonStar: it's that simple
ikonia: it's maybe simple to you.. :) how do I fix it..?
Orange_, probably a buggy hardware device requesting an enormouse DMA range. or something with the system where it can't find the ram
gordonjcp: yeah ^M like u said went away but no line breaks can is displayed. still all in one line.
SunMoonStar: either a.) reboot - look for a message to see if it mounts read only b.) try to force a remount with read/write permissions
sunmoonstar the issue could be in the sources.list file.. A wrong entry i believe. you got to remove one term vch says "independent", from the list.
I recently did a clean install of 12.04 64bit and have an issue with Audacious. It will not play any shoutcast music streams, but does play MP3 files on the machine. I've installed all of the codecs from medibuntu, and a package from the webupd8 ppa entitled "audacious-plugins". Rhythmbox on the same machine plays every shoutcast mp3 stream I've thrown at it, but I really don't care to use that for listening to streams. I know Ubuntu
is missing a lot of codecs because of patents, but I thought the medibuntu cache fixed those issues.. Help?
anyone hear me or able to help?
SunMoonStar: your system seems to be mounted only in read-only mode, check that with the mount command, type mound , if you see a "ro" behind / then it's mounted only read-only
escott, any idea of a work around for it?
SunMoonStar: poeple can here you
oops
softcoder: people can hear you
softcoder: please just ask your question on a single line.  Yes, we can read what you say.  If someone can help, they will reply to you
Orange_, pull hardware and see if it gets better? try a different kernel. look through the rest of the kernel output in case there is anything useful in it. im assuming this is happening before init starts
tpumma: well, that's your problem right enough; you need to convert the ^Ms to proper line breaks
ikonia: http://pastebin.com/WhHUur5w
daveinlv, have you installed ubuntu-restricted-extras?
tpumma: look at DOS to Unix conversion
I think so.. will check..
SunMoonStar: /dev/sda4 on / type ext4 (rw,errors=remount-ro)
SunMoonStar: your / file system (that holds /var has errors so has gone into read only
gordonjcp: ok. i'll try to install dos2unix and run it on .php so i can view it right in vim
escott, it is before the start. it is a laptop, so i guess I cant remove any hardware, but Ill try with 12.04 32 bit
exit
ikonia: Can you give me explicit instructions? Should I just restart first?
hello,good morning
SunMoonStar: if you reboot it will probably try to run an fsck and fix it
Orange_, what is this laptop? anything particularly strange with it? or do you not know what hardware it has
ikonia ok I will go restart, thank you
i'm using vbox to setup server, what the best networking mode for them ??
chartax_  According to synaptic, I have..
daveinlv, the fact that RhythmBox can handle them, but Audacious can't suggests it's an issue with Audacious, rather than the codec
escott, it is a hp pavilion dm 3. I was running ubuntu 10 before and it was ok. Now with the 12.04 32 bit live usb it is booting
I could be wrong, though
ok.. will check over there... ty!!
They all use the same mp3 codecs then I gather?
i'm using vbox to setup server, what the best networking mode for them ??
escott, Ill try to proceed with the install
daveinlv, I believe so, but like I said, I could be completely wrong.
chartax any luck?
.
I''ll try completely removing it and reinstalling.. havent tried that yet..
Melvin, I found the actual model of my card.
thanks, Chartax_
daveinlv: there's a couple of mp3 codecs you can use for playback
chartax killer!
It's an RT2800
beandog: Oh?
daveinlv: there's lavc, lame, and ... I can't remember the other off the top of my head
bonjour
chartax so u are able to connect to the wifi,but it holds only for 1 15sec interval huh??
daveinlv: what are you trying to do?
Melvin, it seems to try and authenticate, but fails without an error. Just returns to the authentication prompt.
beandog: what has me baffled is the fact that audacious plays local mp3 files just fine.. just won't play a standard http://server:port shoutcast url
daveinlv: oh okay, well it could be another codec from shoutcast
beandog: Oh? different from the decoder for local mp3 files?
i burned 12.10 to dvd and it wont boot to 12.10 it just boots to grub menu, idk why??
daveinlv: no, I mean the shoutcast playlist may not be serving MP3
does anyone know if deja-dup backs up hidden files. The program gives no option to see what was backed.
WeThePeople:  you mean the cd boots to some grub: prompt? or what exactly? i dont think the dvd uses grub.
beandog.. I sure HOPE it is, as I run the shoutcast station that I'm trying to listen to.. in testing I tried others and they don't work either
chartax its probably getting switched off! :/
daveinlv: wanna pm me the url?
dr_willis, i burned 12.10 to dvd a iso.. when i put dvd into bay and change the boot order, the computer doesnt boot to 12.10 it goes to my main grub menu
Melvin: I'm going to try switching from WPA2 to something like WEP temporarily
WeThePeople:  how did you burn it to dvd? what files do you see on the dvd?
chartax do that until then.
Melvin: It doesn't prompt me for authentication now, it just continuously tries to connect with no success
Disregard: It just requested authentication again, after about 60 sec. of trying to connect
chartax disable IPv6.
 dr_willis, i will show you>>> http://imgh.us/desktop_2.png && http://imgh.us/desktop2_1.png
chartax try this http://askubuntu.com/questions/127243/cant-stay-connected-to-wi-fi
WeThePeople:  you could have just said it has a single big iso file on it.. ;)  You burnt it wrong..
dr_willis, i did ??
WeThePeople:  you need to burn it as an image, not a data file like you would do a bunch of jpegs ;)
ahh
ok
thanks
Can anyone help me install this theme ?  http://jurialmunkey.deviantart.com/art/Divergence-IV-quot-A-New-Hope-quot-183377193
Steevca: the instructions are on the page
Yes,but i can't install it. There is no install option in Apperance.
Steevca: because it's meant for an older gnome version
Steevca: "gnome gtk2"
steevca the instructions are clearly sort on that very page!!
does deja-dup back up hidden files?
Ah,damn it,i missed that is for gtk2.
the program hides a lot from you
uabn93 YES!
uabn93, there are other ways to backup... if you want help with some of those just ask
uabn93, but i reached much the same conclusion about deja-dup and decided that wasn't the backup tool for me
escott: what do you mean other ways? do you suggest another program?
uabn93, i use rsync
uabn93 it does back up by default. if u want to view those files, u can however enabk\le them!
ikonia still wanna help?
Melvin: help with what ?
What keeps shutting off my monitor and hard drive please.  I snapped this yesterday http://pastebin.com/pDx5xiGX
ikonia thats just one linux configuration dude! S.O.S.
Melvin: take it to #backtrack-linux
ikonia i'm unable to create an account. so please cooperate!
seeqwell, that doesn't seem helpful. the 81 on the 5th line means 81 seconds after boot. did the system reboot 81 seconds after boot?
escott: i really only used deja because it supports incremental backups WITH compression
Melvin: no
Melvin: you ARE able to make an account, you re chosing not to
uabn93, you can do the same with rsync but without the nasty tarballs
ikonia I aint kidding. i''m unable to. assist me in creating one!
seems like when it crashed it deletes my log escott .  I lost that code you told me about to save logs before I hard shut down
Melvin: ask in #freenode as you've been told in multiple channels
Melvin: you're inability to follow instructions it's what's letting you down
seeqwell, and its not deleting your logs... its never saving your logs
escott: cool. ill check out grsync because i dont feel comfortable with the cli version yet
uabn93, and unless you have lots of big text files im not sure what compression gets you. might be better to put it all on a filesystem that does compression
ikonia if inability is the reason for someone to wander, run up close to them before they die by their thirst of seeking help.
ubuntu is junk.  I should go for Fedora core but I hate rpm.
Melvin: please don't talk nonsense, people have helped you and pointed you at the right channels, follow the advice
seeqwell: the ubuntu community is great... if you like ubuntu or not
Right holstein
Hi
Hello
escott: I see. All i have related to that are books but thats pdf not txt
uabn93, i dont know what kind of compression ratios you will get with pdfs but its not going to be earth-shattering
escott: okay. so it wouldnt do much for music and video files either?
Melvin: I am just going to do a clean install. Managed to screw up my video card somehow :V
uabn93, no
Thank you very much for your help however.
uabn93, unless you are storing your music as wav files :)
chartax I'm sorry about it!
Melvin: no worries, thank you so much for your time though, it is much appreciated.
chartax can i see u in ubuntuforums now?? for a moment?
escott: heh. I use flac but thats already compressed. i think i need to read up on compression
I've never posted there yet - not even sure I have an account there, I

nvidia-settings says i'm not using an nvidia driver. sudo nvidia-xconfig creates an xorg.conf that sets my X into 640x480. already tried getting the driver from nvidia.com
bad call
hmm?
ikonia was that to me? if yes, what do you mean?
trying to get the drivers from nvidia.com is a bad idea
?
define didn't work
nvidia-settings says i'm not using an nvidia driver. sudo nvidia-xconfig creates an xorg.conf that sets my X into 640x480.
^ = didn't work
yes, that means "not using" not "didn't work"
so you need to look at why they are not in use
have you tried to install from nvidia.com ?
yes
then I won't help
it made backups, so i guess i could uninstall it
you can't uninstall it
sure you can...
can you force fullscreen apps to run in windowed mode with commandline params?
you need to manually remove every object
then reinstall the nvidia packages from ubuntu for good measure
hence "bad idea"
TomyLobo: it won't overwrite everything,
ikonia: done it a million times...
bkc_: great, walk TomyLobo through it
Hi
herro
TomyLobo: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NvidiaManual :)
I have a weird issue when Ubuntu will only boot if there is a USB drive present
Any drive will do
What could be the issue?
TomyLobo: and this for uninstallation https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NvidiaManual#Uninstalling_the_Driver
LordThumper: What happens when you try to boot without a USB drive plugged in?
LordThumper: did you install from usb
i have a core 2 duo T5500 laptop about to install ubuntu with 1GB ram. Will there be any difference between 64bit or 32?
so I'm trying to do something like this: $ ls db/migrate/*even*more* | gedit
bkc_ that went through without a hitch, apart from some manual directory
in which a file is returned ... and I'd like to pipe that filename to have gedit open it..
Hi, I'd like to simulate that I have a webcam plugged in and that it's currently receving a stream on my ubuntu 12.04 (because I dont have a webcam and I'm trying to develop some stuff) - is this possible ?
Xabster: no
Jayflux: install 32 bit
jayflux what is it/
ok zvacet cheers
Jayflux, 64bit is a different instruction set and has more registers which is nice. there is a bit more memory overhead.... what would probably be best for you is the x32 ABI but thats only now in development
Xabster: yes :)
delinquentme: for file in db/migrate/*whatever*; do gedit "$file"; done
ikonia: do you have any idea what you're talking about? ever? :)
Xabster: maybe
escott its only going to be for web browsing mainly. So nothing strenuous
Jodan_U: I get a black screen with only the text "OK" visible on the right hand side
bkc_: please, how do you simulate web cam hardware with proper even handling ?
zvacet: No from dvd
Xabster: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=930101
"event"
Jordan_U, Not bad.
god bless you, bkerensa
bkc_
LordThumper: did you install grub on mbr or somewhere else?
ikonia: if you read what he said anything about event... only to simulate a video-stream from a v4l-device...
what are the recommended hardware specs for 12?
Jordan_U, no need for grep eh?
zvacet: Well sometimes grub comes up and booting
bkc_: now that is very useful and I didn't know about that, although reading the docs on it it won't simulate hardware, just the streaming
Then when I choose Ubuntu it stalls at the black screen again
i have a 4gb laptop with a centrino chip(i forget the clockrate) and its pretty slugish
ikonia: where will the stream go then?
when booting*
Xabster: I have no idea, I've never seen this software
bkc_ is the one who pointed you at it
significantly slower to where using anything before unity is a much better option
Hello. How do I get a program to print all output to the terminal AND to a file?
delinquentme: Not if what you need to do is covered by shell globbing.
ikonia: it is really useful indeed; and no, it doesn't simulate a real hw-device, but that wasn't the question at hand either :)
LordThumper: maybe graphic is problem
david89: command | tee /path/to/file
Ok, rebooted a couple of times, and I am getting a full text message now
bkc_: he said "I'd like to simulate having a web cam plugged in" - I took that as "I'd like to simulate having the hardware"
"Starting virtual printing daemon"
Jordan_U: thanks ;)
david89: You're welcome.
And "Ok" on the far right
a video streaming device node, no problem
Xabster: the stream will go to a virtual v4l-device (v4l://) any even remotely good streaming-app (e.g. VLC) would pick it up automagically. otherwise it's in /dev/v4l2/<device> :)
ikonia: what i more specifically is to read from a "file descriptor" and the data should be a video stream like the stuff from a webcam
the actualy ubuntu recognizing the hardware is not needed
How can I determine if a certain package has had a certain patch applied?
Xabster: from what I'm reading it should create a device file, no problem
great stuff
next question: is the openjdk 7 in the repos broken?
i get 404 error through the software center
ikonia: easily missunderstood :) however on a sidenote, simulating a simple hw-device as a webcam is really simple to create :)
also my updates failed
Xabster: probably a dead repo-mirror, try changing to another :)
bkc_: I disagree, the device nodes and such, sure no problem, but actual hardware, Hmmmm
ikonia: no problem :)
give my the specs and a few hours :P
bkc_ almost without a hitch. i DID have to reinstall nvidia-current and reboot. but now it works again, without the nvidia.com driver
ciao!
thanks for the help so far
bkc_, how do i change that in the software center?
bkc_: get it written, I'm sure people would find it useful
TomyLobo: great :D
i'm only taking "provided by unbuntu" stuff
i will be too, from now on :D
delinquentme: By the way, I highly recommend reading http://mywiki.wooledge.org/BashPitfalls .
Xabster: software center -> preferences iirc, I usually change /etc/apt/repositories.conf (or somthing like that) by hand in vim thou ^.^
changed* (not actually on ubuntu anymore)
thank you all
Xabster: software center >edit>software sources
bkc_ should i try nvidia-experimental-304?
why change if it's working
TomyLobo: does the non-experimental work?
cause i have no 3d acceleration?
why break (potentially) something that you are working on ?
"cogs" from the humble bundle doesn't work
Nouveau is incompatible with my video card, it is a sorry state of affairs.
I suspect it's not using the nvidia module then
Makes installing Ubuntu kind of difficult
Chartax text mode install :)
TomyLobo: I currently use 304 without any problems on Arch Linux, and it's just a re-packaged nvidia-blob so I don't see how they could be different :)
TomyLobo: If you need 304, shoot... if you're happy with ubuntu's "stable" then don't :)
the thing is: supposedly there should be a "Restricted drivers available" popup
hah, i changed to "main server" instead of "danish server" and now there's 178 updates and openjdk 7 is available
but there was only one for my wireless
Xabster: great, danish repo-mirror is probably down atm then :)
TomyLobo: what gfx-card do you have?
this laptop is pretty new too
gt 630m
what laptop?
lenovo ideapad z580
I'm guessing you also have an integrated intel gfx-card right?
uhm
possibly
is that called UMA?
i've seen that in the bios setup
not that I know of...
TomyLobo: you need bumblebee on that one :) Nvidia Optimus crap...
TomyLobo: http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/Linux-Discussion/Linux-on-Lenovo-Z580-Anyone/td-p/799161 <-- read this one :)
"The only proper solution is to have a BIOS option to disable Optimus and choose the dedicated card only."
i might try that :)
is there a way to find out what process owns a window?
psusi: yes :)
bkc_, go on?
I'm a debian head. I want to install something on a friends laptop that is much more simple and I'm told can really help for somebody that isn't compy savvy. Can Ubuntu be set not needing an account and password like an unsecured and very vulnerable XP install?
spldart, yes, you can enable auto login
I've rarley seen someone try as hard to be cool
He just wants to turn it on and star browsing the web
spldart:  you can set auto login. but you still want a username/password
spldart: you can do that on debian just fine
auto login... Something in the repos?
spldart: as a debian head, I'm surprised you're not aware of that
spldart:  its a feature of lightdm
spldart: it's just an option for lightdm
something in the gnome control panel ;)
hi guys would anyone be able to tell me why I can't manage to do this math in a bash script  mbfree=$(($memfree*0.0009765625))
spldart:  or try some of the google-chromeos disrtos if thats all he needs.
says 970300*0.0009765625: syntax error: invalid arithmetic operator (error token is ".0009765625")
I'm more of a debian fluxbox and make it hard for anyone else use my machine kinda guy
that dosn't make it hard
spldart: you can turn off passwords for most stuff (except installing packages) :)
maslo: use spaces: $(( blah ))
jrib: hold on let me try
well.. he also wants to maybe skype or whatever too.
psusi: working on it :)
bkc_, so *how* do you figure out what process owns a window?
hehe
I keep getting a frigging popup asking for my password randomly, and it's pissing me off to no end
I'm gonna hafta get a module loaded for the built in camera too.
spldart:  you may want to set up Lubuntu for him. its old skool look similer to old windows.
OHH
that sounds good

bkc_, nice... now is there a magic key to stop a damn window from locking the keyboard input focus? ;)
lubuntu us about as light and simple, yet with most features peoples need.
can I turn font hinting off in NetBeans?
maslo: bash can't handle float-point arithmetics, use calc or some other command-line calculator for that :) (or use zsh if you're pro ;P)
maslo: what's the "for" for... what are you trying to do ?
Though more electronics. I did some junior dev work and mentor'd google summer of code a couple years
psusi: ... that is another question... that I actually don't know the answer too :P
Anywho... Thanks for the options! :)
doing a dynamic motd for a VPS with some basic info mem free is in kb and I want it in mb
maslo: oh right, I was testing in zsh.  Never mind then.
a little help on getting programs from cd
maslo: sure, use mbfree=`calc $memfree*0.0009765625`
maslo: also install calc :)
<ikonia> Watch a low brow windows neophyte try to navigate fluxbox can be entertaining. Not that all windows heads are low brow... just say'n
bkc_: sounds good, trying it right away thank you I appreciate it :P
spldart: stop spewing crap
But they tend to be more confy with kde or something
maxb: no problem :)
what crap ikonia?
everything
what everything
Lemme guess... Your the troll of the channel ;)
I just installed Google Earth - but I can't see the maps. All is grey, with borders and labels on top. Any Ideas how to fix this?
once a month I get a magazine called Linuxuser it comes with a CD which has softwear on it how do I get to run on the pc?
spldart: did you quote ikonia or was that just pointer at him/her? because <NICK> is considered a quote...
just did a ctrl c and paste cuz I wanted to talk at him
bkc_: that certainly wasn't my quote
ah..
ok
spldart: try <TAB>... it's awesome ;)
misunderstanding
I just did a highlight, copy, paste and then my statment to you
Not putting words in your mouth
sry
on IRC it's NICK: NICK; or just plain NICK :)
hehe
k
anywho.. Thanks
You guys are more helpful than the folks on #debian
like i can type s<TAB> and it'll insert spldart:
woah
s<tab> is evil. Might want to type more of the name before autocompleting it. rofl
it's called tab-completion, it's the future! :D
*always* type 3 letters, then tab :P
hmm, 304 didn't work either
Welp... I'm a fossil that is trying to keep up so yeah....
Thanks again!!!!!
XED
(hence why my nick is so short... to mess with everyone :3)
that is... i dont know if it was activated even
Fishscene: use a client that completes based on last talked ;)
how do i check which one it tried to use?
TomyLobo: what does nvidia-settings say? :)
it says it cant find the driver again
oh dear
... wrong channel -.-
but equally funny in this context too ^.^
hi, how to fix this please (The process owner Webshare (PHP) is: www-data)
TomyLobo: okey... open up /var/log/Xorg.log in a text-editor of your choice :)
fireglobe: what is there to fix?
jrib: I'm guessing he's trying to remove that directory...
I can not log in to my webshare
...not again... I need too change place on these two channels -.-
bkc_ what am i looking for?
all configuration is ok except this message
TomyLobo: search for "(EE)" (without quotes)... those are errors :)
http://paste.ubuntu.com/1361585/

bkc_ ^
fireglobe: you need to give more context.  I don't see what the issue is with what you are pasting.  I also have no idea what you are doing to get that message.  Nor do I have any idea what you are logging into
TomyLobo: anything else? seeing as you have interwebz on that machine you could paste the entire log on paste.ubuntu.com and I'll have a look :)
is it possible for someone to help me out quick, my friend brought me a computer and his external hard disk, (his gf formatted the external with apple time machine) and i'm wondering if there's any ubuntu tools to recover the formatted windows partition?
wewt
billybigrigger: plug it in, click on the partition in nautilus
billybigrigger, probably not. you could try checkdisk
is gparted's "Attempt Data Rescue.." going to cut it?
billybigrigger: that depends
well fdisk reports it can't read it because it's GPT
has she overwritten anything?
billybigrigger, or testdisk rather
i try to configure this http://paste.ubuntu.com/1361590/
use parted for GPT :)
im in gparted
sent it to you in a PM
under Device i see "Attempt Data Rescue.."
will that cut it?
billybigrigger, i have no idea what that is. i would try testdisk
billybigrigger: as I said, that depends :)
so how does apple format?
ikonia
ikonia repond
can someone tell me why "echo 12345 | wc -m"  returns, "6" and not "5" ???!
billybigrigger, hfs+
noob question alert: How can I make sure all my hardware drivers are updated? (I am on Ubuntu 12.10 LTS) on a Dell laptop
ericab, echo -n
hmm
anyone?
ok thanks escott
escott, k testdisk thinks is efi gpt, good or bad?
billybigrigger, hard to say.
Romulan, can I help you?
yeah
ok, so what do i need to do?
need help with eth0 config
Romulan: you're using backtrack linux
billybigrigger: that's good, now try "Attempt Data Rescue"
escott, if i were to say, do "cat file | wc -m
ikonia
how would i do the same ?
as I've told you earlier
#backtrack-linux is the place to ask
in other words use cat, instead of echo
Hi Guys, I am facing issue on my Ubuntu box with CIFS shared drive.
That isnt responding!!!
Romulan: that's not #ubuntu's problem
can anyone help please
ericab, would it could whitespace and non-printing characters... yes
ericab: I would say to run "wc -m file" ^^
ericab, s/could/count
I've registered now! it says cannot send to channel! <over and out>
Romulan: that's not ubunut's problem
Romulan: if you read backtracks web site you'll see why
thanks escott and rypervenche
Romulan: then ask in #freenode what you're doing wrong...
bkc_, ok, i ran it, any idea how long this takes?
err running it i should say
billybigrigger, the partition table type shouldn't matter to data recovery. the unknown is if the data is recoverable
yes
billybigrigger: no idea... depends on a gazillion different things :)
what is this??? my email poped up in google inside some list of emails and cryptographed passwords, name of the list is some database leak of some unknown forum
The issue is that my CIFS drive times out after few hours, giving me error "Host is down" (when trying to access), but on second try (after this timeout) it start working again.
yeah
Harpreet, you might try some kind of cron job to put a heartbeat on the CIFS partition
escott: that is my last resort
escott: I was thinking of looking for genuine solution first, as I don't have any reason for why this should happen
Harpreet, i imagine you and i have different attitudes with respect to duct-tape then :)
:-)
escott: to be precise , do you know any reason for idle time out on CIFS in Ubuntu
escott: I read one post that said to meke this chage "echo 0 > /proc/fs/cifs/OplockEnabled"
Harpreet, these days with power management being such a common concern... lots of things. Wireless drivers going into low power mode, windows going into a low power mode, linux going into a low power mode
escott: as it said that it is getting locked
escott: but low power mode on a server class machine :-)
or in server setup
bkc_, ok so how does gparted data recovery compare to some other "pro" recovery tools
Harpreet: crappy drivers/implementation could be a possibility. like for instance a buffer-over/underflow, memory-leakage, etc.etc. :)
Harpreet, could be anywhere. i dont really know
ie the knoppix base recovery
cant remember the name of it
billybigrigger: about the same or better...
knoppix base recovery uses gparted...
ok, ill trust you :P
k cool
ill do some googling while i wait
Harpreet, but i would think most servers would drop an inactive client after some configurable idle
escott: bkc_ thanks, but still would look for more specific answer, I can volunteer to be debugging hand, for any one who wants to try hands on this issue
escott: this is my first encounter, have dealt with many CISF on Ubuntu setup
Harpreet: I'd file a bug-report at the guys who develop the cifs-implementation on linux, not here :)
and give as much info and logs as possible (that are relevant)
bkc_: I think would have to do that, thanks a ton
bkc_, is it normal to still be "searching for file systems on /dev/sdc"
billybigrigger: As I said previously, it depends on a gazillion different things... it can take from a couple of minutes too a couple of days/weeks...
(I'm not kidding... weeks...)
what?
but it says still searching for file systems
Hello?
thats normal i guess?
billybigrigger, and it has to read the entire disk to see if it can find any hint of one
but for weeks we're talking about *huge* servers that are checked over a network-stream...
oh you forgot to say that :P
billybigrigger, i think NTFS keeps some structures at the end of the partition and maybe those werent overwritten by nfs+
billybigrigger: yes, that's normal. and it's exactly like escott said :)
only a 1tb external
billybigrigger: and like I said, it depends on your setup...
billybigrigger, when it has finished reading the entire disk it will let you know
laptop with a usb2.0 disk :(
Excuse me, but do you think someone can give me a hand?
Please?
billybigrigger: you also have too consider stull like poor usb-drivers, bad cables, crappy buffering, etc.etc.etc... :)
Kyle_, just post your problem :)
gpart is only using %13 cpu according to top, so i just want to make sure it's doing something if i let it sit here, my buddy is in from out of town so time is a factor here
bkc_, i understand that
billybigrigger, go out to dinner
escott: +1
1TB will take a while... my internal PATA 40GB took ~1hour...
I'm trying to boot 12.10 from a flash drive, but the boot stops at [9.091596] [drm] radeon: ring at 0x00000000E0001000
horay for amd! -.-
escott, i was just gonna go ask if it was safe to have a beer and play a game of pool :P
bkc_, escott thanks, if your around when im back ill probably ping :P
cheers
Thanks!
billybigrigger: just don't be supprised if it doesn't find anything thou... MBR->GPT and NTFS->whatever-apple-uses is quite destructive sometimes...
it's still fixable sometimes...
Is there any console utility to configure a network adapter (ex. set a static ip)?
nm-cli i belive
of the ifconfig tools
or ifconfig  ;)
ip
route add
or just that dhclient tool.
but that wont be static. unless the router/dhcp server does it that way
Ok, so I was able to fix my previous problem by using nomodeset, but now when I attempt to install to the hard drive, I get "I/O space for GPIO uninitialized"
what is going on with the downloads? i cant get 64bit to download at all. and the torrent says corrupt
why would the manual command not work
what manual command?
 manual apt-get
-bash: manual: command not found
its 'man'
which is short for manual
man apt-get
-bash: man: command not found
$ man
What manual page do you want?
$ which man
/usr/bin/man
i want the one that works when i install linux
ubuntu comes with man pages
thats what i want
so either you have a.) removed them b.) not installed ubuntu
...

Well the kernel is mean then -.-
just installed 12.10 with a raid-10 configuration (4 hdd); can NOT get it to boot properly due to the apparently well known grub-probe (null volume) bug. what i have NOT seen is a solution.  any1 know if there is one yet?
guruguy: is there a bug logged if it's that well known ?
i've seen countless bugs logged both w/ debian & ubuntu
e0s@lagunesrevenge:~$ echo $SHELL
/bin/bash
e0s@lagunesrevenge:~$ echo $PATH
/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games
e0s@lagunesrevenge:~$
i've seen patches posted, but no definitive resolutsions
guruguy: ok - so what does those bugs say ?
guruguy: (ubuntu bugs)
guruguy, do you not have a /boot partition outside the array?
only mirrors are supported for /boot
i have my array setup w/ 6 separate raid paritions - including a separate /boot partition.
guruguy: so the /boot partition is not on the raid 10 array ?
dr_willis: is my path not correct? where should the man page tool reside?
raid 5 may actually be supported too for /boot
ONLY MIRRORS SUPPORTED for /boot
/usr/bin/man
guruguy: yeah, I've just said that, no need for caps
ok - i was just VERY surprised to see that - i was not aware!
my /boot IS in the raid 10 array
guruguy: raid 5 may also be supported, I can't remember
dr_willis: yea, man isnt there...
How can I diagnose the problem of websites loading only sometimes? Both in Firefox and Chrome.
sounds like you somehow removed it.
dr_willis: i should mention im running im guessing on a virtual ubuntu thats actually sitting on a redhat box
however - i ALSO installed same config in a VM - WITH /boot IN array - and it works NP! ???? no idea why the difference
dr_willis: its on some vps
guruguy: the disks work different in a vm
grub-probe /dev/md1 on the  VM (partmap) returns gpt
e0s@lagunesrevenge:~$ cat /proc/version
Linux version 2.6.18-308.8.2.el5.028stab101.1 (root@rhel5-build-x64) (gcc version 4.1.2 20080704 (Red Hat 4.1.2-46)) #1 SMP Sun Jun 24 20:25:35 MSD 2012
e0s@lagunesrevenge:~$
guruguy: what vm platform ?
grub-probe <same> on baremetal - returns the infomus null-volume error
guruguy, when you hand a VM an array it never sees the array
lsb-release says ubuntu
eoss:   You could have mentioned that earlier... sounds like they are not using a standard setup/install
ahhh a VPS
eoss: game over
running vmware wkstn 8
guruguy: so a.) look for a solution in the bug reports b.) contribute to the bug report
guruguy, it sees a virtual disk which the host kernel maps to the array
guruguy: so you've created a virtual md0 in the vmware guest ?
anybody with network skills available?
naryfa: ##networking is
i have created md0, md1, md2 in the vm guest
anyone?
theborger: saying anyone is totally pointless as I've stated earlier
ok
Hi everyone, i' having real trouble booting my computer. I'm getting a "kernel panic not syncing out of memory and no killable processes"
all are gpt, and in vm, have boot, root, and swap
what is going on with the downloads? i cant get 64bit to download at all. and the torrent says corrupt
guruguy, why would you create mdadm devices in a guest? that makes no sense
theborger:  ive not heard of anyone else having similer problems.
ikonia: the downloads have all failed
escott: I guess a test, even if it's invalid
When my system starts up I get an xubuntu screen that I don't want.  How do I stop it?
did this in vm b/c my baremetal install is such a failure.
and torrents should be error checking  themeselfs
needed to test the whole config; vm perfect for that
guruguy: not the best test in this situation
but not bad logic
hmm why not best test?
the disk mapping will work different
hmm i'll have to think bout that....tx
@KI4RO you could maybe install another Desktop environment, or look at psychocats.net tutorial for eliminating every last bit of a given DE
guruguy: how are you building the array, mdadm, or a hardware controller ?
I'm guessing mdadm
oh no - mdadm all-the-way!!!!
blackbird34: Hmmm thought I was running Unity on 12.10??
(never hardware ROTF)
yeah sure but did you install XFCE at some point too?
blackbird34: Yes I did
guruguy: what disk controller ?
guess i'll try rm'g boot from the array, and see if i can at least get the sucker up
exit
jaja
that may be a good Q - using dell t610 - which uses perc 6
never fully trusted dell; as well as perc 6
blackbird34: I'll look at psychocats and see what I can do...thanks
bkc_, escott is it safe to stop gparted's data recovery?
billybigrigger: yes
ie whats better gparted recover or testdisk?
billybigrigger, presumably
guruguy: is this box crash and burn ? or does it need to stay as it is ?
bkc_, aware of any log i can tail -f to see any actual progress?
KI4RO well then, even if you removed it there might be bits of it left. Have you had ubuntu long? and have a look here http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/pureubuntu
not crash & burn; but doesn't need to stay exactly as is either....
guruguy: would you be interested in a test
really do NOT want to re-partition whole - but don't mind if i gotta burn the boot part
guruguy: make a 200mb partition on one disk, put /boot on that, (or use a seperate disk) and then leave the rest on raid 10 ?
help: the startup application manager is missing from system menu, I am using 12.10
@KI4RO its a way of removing all the bits of (in your case) XFCE that you might have installed
blackbird34: Ok thanks
yea i thought about that actually - and i have a VERY high expectation that it will work.
you're welcome
i really wanted to solve this problem "cleanly"....
you don't know anything about kernl panics do you? ;)
but maybe that's not possible
guruguy: I suspect the perc device may have poor support in the initram
i bet your right
in retrospect.....
billybigrigger: no logs, and I'm farily sure that gparted won't help (as the actual partition-info is probably overwritten). however there are applications (free & non-free) for retreiving different types of files (e.g. photos, music, etc.) but those take TIME too run through... especially on such a large disk :)
the real truth is - i only installed ubuntu 12.10 b/c it has the v3 kernel - AFTER debian squeeze failed MISERABLY to even recognize the hdd's !!!!
so again - there's another pointer to the perc
knoppix live see's the hdd's; but i don't remember which kernl it's using
So anyway can anyne help me with a computer failing to bot and giving me a "kernel panic not syncing out of memory and no killable processes" message please? :)
guruguy: but that's a livecd - in a full kernel
guruguy: ubuntu will see the disks, but it's the pre-boot that's killing you (I think)
true enuf....
good morning
i think i'll drop boot from raid, and just see if i can get the install up.... pretty sure that should work!  guess i'll worry about cleaning it up sometime after ubuntu addresses the grub-probe but - which apparently an issue only for separate /boot anyway
although, i already tried joining boot to root, and no fix
guruguy: I suspect it's an issue for non-seperate boot also
LOL
that is zero surprise
as /boot the directory would still be on raid 10
i read a reply to a bug that suggested that might work.... not... :/
I doubt that very much
although I'd like to look at what vmware is doing
ok - well tx for letting me bounce idea's around - apprecaite it!
how can i control upstart jobs as a unprivileged user?
i'm curious about vmware too... but i've burned way too much time chasing this already....
I've had this kernel panic problem on my triple boot system, and even the SuperGrubDisk and live USBs didn't work so i don't know what to do..
blackbird34, ,boot-repair iso.
quit
Isn't that called SuperGrubDisk or something? I've got that on a cd, i've used it before jagginess
you missed the slash noobie
huh?
http://sourceforge.net/projects/boot-repair-cd/
thanks
was talking to ClimX
(try the latest, even if its included on other project isoz)
blackbird34: That did it...lost SMUXI too but that was easily re installed...obviously LOL  Sure a rather long command string!
KI4RO well yeah Psychocat just strung the names of everything in XFCE together and said "remove them"
blackbird34: Yes, it certainly did!  LOL
blackbird34:  there is a specfic 'boot-repair' live cd mentioned at the ubuntu boot-repair wiki page.
everytime the update manager includes kernel update i get errors cause of some driver stuff I tried to install a long time ago but no longer need
package rt3090-dkms 1:2.4.0.4-0ubuntu0-ppa0
dr_willis yes but you have to be booted up to use that, i've had it before. This time I can't boot Live USBs or my Linux OSs or a grub-repair CD
Hi, i am looking for support on ubuntu windows, the windows are big on my screen i cannot see the bottom part on every window that pops out.
anyway I can just take that thing out, and why is update trying to install that?
use the package manager tools to remove the package and perhaps ppa-purge
the reason I ask is because that latest update is a kernel update
dr_willis i'm getting a message along th lines of "kernel panic not syncing out of memory and no killable processes", been looking on google, not found much...
blackbird34: Have you run memtest?
first guess here would be some bad ram
ah, no, is there a wiki age to explain how it works?
Hi, i am looking for support on ubuntu windows, the windows are big on my screen i cannot see the bottom part on every window that pops out.
If I'm compiling my own ruby, where should I put it?
blackbird34: reboot and from grub menu select memtest and run it
Jordan_U memtest doesn't show up on my grub, version 2.00 beta 4, not even under "advanced options" for any of my OSs
ner0x, /usr/local
neil1234567890:  whats your screen resolution?  have you tested with a newly made user to see if its some setting issue?
escott: ./configure --prefix=/usr/local   ?   How would I know what files to remove if I needed to remove it?
blackbird34: That's odd, I thought that it was installed by default (it certainly used to be).
yeah i already did try it on another user
escott: Thank you.
Hi, i have just broght an ASUS N56VZ and installed Ubuntu 12.10 on it. However the Fn+F5/F6 (which control the screen brightness) isn't working. Anyone know a fix for it?
dr_willis my screen resolution is 1024x600 running on an ubuntu samsung netbook
Hi. I was locked out of my root account and tried to reset it using recovery mode. However, I can't login to the root account still. it takes the password, but it won't go to the desktop. it just gos back to the login screen
srin, you should not run a desktop as root
I don't.
neil1234567890:  Yep.. thats going to be an issue with most apps expectng at least a 800 pixle tall screen
I had to switch a server's drives out from one server into another.  The destination server has a slightly different motherboard.  The OS booted, but lshw -C network shows that "*-network DISABLED" for both my ifaces.
I normally use the user account. I needed to install updates.
What's the right way to re-enable networking on this box?
neil1234567890:  there used to be a way to have a larger virtual screen you could pan around. but i never did get it working on my little netbook.
is linux better than windows?
kj4: yes
N56VZ, search on the forums for that model number
so i just have to live with alt key+drag??
kj4:  totally depends on the  tasks you need to do.
neil1234567890:  or look into the paning feature.. but i never got that working
escott: checkinstall is quite nice actually.
where do i find that
panning  :)  its an old featre from years back. it may not even be in X any more.
where are packages downloaded to?
<dr_willis> where do i find that?
i never was able to get it going on my netbook neil1234567890 .
kj4: what do you think why we are here
zvacet: because you work for linux
ubottu: the issue is that the root account isn't accessible...
how can I re-install the networking driver for this linux?
escott: ^ sorry, wrong person was highlighted
kj4: no,because I enjoy running ubuntu
<dr_willis> so i just have to live with that, hehehe
srin, you should not be trying to login as root anywhere. you will not get help for that in this channel
zvacet: you are the leader of ubuntu?
rofl. not even to do updates? my user account isn't in the sudoers file.
kj4: just user
that's hilarious, thanks. I guess that's why most people use arch or debian.
kj4 no i am :)
hi, i can't edit settings in g-c-c anymore
I need help please. I just installed ubuntu. For some disgusting reason I have a little video clip of a man wiggling his private part in circles round and round. I don't know how to remove it
any suggestions for how to fix this? i can't edit networks, printers, or any useful settings
can't unlock the dialogs either
blackbird34: thank you, nice to meet you.
srin, then add it at the recovery console. usermod -a -G sudo username (for 12.10) usermode -a -G admin username for 12.04 and previous
it's greyed out
chris__333: please ask real support questions...
escott, i did ~ no solution found :<
joking kj4
chris__333 what on earth have you been doing??
N56VZ, Ubuntu 12.04?
jrib: I don't understand. What do you mean real support questions?
blackbird34: System seems a little quicker without XUBUNTU....many thanks for your help
blackbird34: nothing. it's a new install 10 minutes ago
you're welcome KI4RO
chris__333: thats normal with the latest v of ubuntu
defile, 12.10
Can I ask a question regarding wine here or should I ask elsewhere?
kj4: can i switch it to show a woman rather than a man? It's gross.
N56VZ, It's possible you're getting hit with this bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1030556
chris__333: wouldn't that be grosser, if she had one, swinging it around?
chris__333 come on, did you do a search in the dash and get some results through amazon or the video lenses?
kj4, chris__333: stop now.  This channel is for legitimate support questions
kj4: hahaha. well i'd prefer her boobies swinging around rather than some hairy man whiping it round and round. i'm getting dizzy!
anyone know how to boot single user mode on 8.04 without networking?
<--stopped
defile, yes ~ except i am on 12.10
esuave:  use the option 'single' to the grub kernel options instead of the default 'quiet splash'
Is there a way to disable the [alt] = open search menu, and get the alt key to open the file menu bar in wine like it normally does in windows?
single still starts networking htough
though*
SierraAR:  thats the 'HUD' and i do recall it being disabable-able.. but not sure how.
???
esuave:  why does networking matter?
dr_willis, Disabable-able? Nice terminology xD. I'll go see if I can find anything now that I know what it's called
<dr_willis> with my windows issue are sayin' that it is normal for now???
cause its pulling an IP set statically thats already on the network and causing grief
dupe IP's
neil1234567890:  many apps are hardcoded/expect you to have a monitor of at least 800 pixles tall.
esuave, scissors?
unplug the cable?
i just wanted to get into /etc/network/interfaces to change the dang IP
i would if i were next to the machine
or disable it at the switch.. if i had access
esuave, so you want no networking... but you don't have physical access?
<dr_willis> so this things happens on netbooks.
dr_willis, looks like I found the answer to disabling the search menu thing here: http://askubuntu.com/questions/122209/how-do-i-modify-or-disable-the-huds-use-of-the-alt-key
escott: yep :/
neil1234567890:  with low res screens.. yes. One reason i got a better netbook
esuave, what are you going to use to communicate with the machine then? telepathic powers?
SierraAR:  i like the hud ;) i dont want to disable it.
ilo
The VirtualBox Linux kernel driver (vboxdrv) is either not loaded or there is a permission problem with /dev/vboxdrv. any suggestions please.
esuave: sounds like you want to knock the comp off-line
I'm using iLO to access the machine
<dr_willis> but this is 1024x600 already
iLO has telepathic kvm powers built in
dr_willis, I personally see no point in using alt to bring up the search menu, when I can use the winkey to do the exact same, and I'm used to hitting [alt][l][h][h] in Notepad++ to quickchange the language scheme to html, or [alt][l][j] for javascript
xD
thanigaivel: how did you install vbox and which one?
SierraAR:   the winkey does not do the same thing.
dr_willis, thanks
esuave, so when the network comes up does it break the iLO connection?
Excuse me for disturbing you, and forgive me too if my English is not at ... I'm trying to configure owncloud, it uses a mysql database at first launch, I informed the administrator account and password, I see that owncloud adds the user to the table oc_users, but now when I run the page localhost / owncloud, I enter my username administrator refreshed the page and nothing happens
nope
dr_willis, whats the difference between the two? Does one search different areas then?
esuave, you could maybe blacklist the network modules that would break it for you
the HUD lets you search/find menu items  in specific apps for one thing
almoxarife: i have installed from ubuntu software centre
how can i do that in the kernel params?
SUPER key = the dash search for apps.  and lens, the HUD searches In the app for menu items and other things.
esuave, https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Kernel_modules#Using_kernel_command_line_2
thanigaivel: since the install, did you reboot? dont reboot if you have not
dr_willis, doesn't seem ifconfig eth0 ###.###.###.### is permanant, I guess I'll just edit /etc/network/interfaces manually
http://www.techrepublic.com/blog/opensource/ubuntus-hud-light-years-beyond-any-menu-system/3535
tigrang:  it wouldent be permenant.. correct.
Oo cool, I can have it mapped to right alt and left left alt unmapped
almoxarife:  i installed windows xp and woks fine. after ubuntu  update showing like this issue.
s/left/leave
thanigaivel: did the update include a kernel update?
almoxarife:  not kernal update.
ah: got it: it was that the OS had renamed the interface
from eth0 to eth2, because it didn't recognize the hardware addresses I guess
thanigaivel: couple of things, in terminal 'sudo apt-get install dkms' , if it says already installed then bug out
Hi how do i run cron jobs configured my me on demand?
almoxarife:  yes it says already installed
marun, best practice is to have the job call a script. then you can manually call that script
marun, your crontab should not have some complex bash -c "stuff" as the command. just a simple /path/to/script.sh
there was some enterprise level free backup software that made it onto slashdot recently... free as long as you were backing up to your own machines on your local network? does anyone remember this? I can't remember a name for the life of me...
thanigaivel: in terminal 'sudo /etc/init.d/vboxdrv' , does it complete without error?
lonewlf, what more than rsync could you want?
almoxarife: sudo: /etc/init.d/vboxdrv: command not found
escott: Okay. I though there could be some way to do it using run-parts.. Ok.. Let me modify my cron to a script :)
*thought
marun, there might be... but why read through pages of manuals for some odd debugging tool when you can directly call the script
thanigaivel:               sudo /etc/init.d/vboxdrv
marun, the only reason not to do it that way would be if the clean environment provided by cron was important, but thats just a bug waiting to happen
escott: gotcha!
almoxarife: sudo: /etc/init.d/vboxdrv: command not found
thanigaivel: http://askubuntu.com/questions/126175/virtualbox-doesnt-load-after-12-04-upgrade <-- does this match your situation?
thanigaivel: why are there colon(:) on your response line? those where not on terminal were they?
please don't look up my question anyone, I'm sorry I spammed it across the channels I was logged into.
i'm trying to use ddrescue off of a live iso (12.04.1) but it's not installed and the package (gddrescue) is not found in apt-get.  /etc/apt/sources.list only contains "precise" "precise-security" and "precise-updates" do I need to add another line to download gddrescue?
hey guys, i have a CIFS mount that always gives me headaches... right now i can't mount it, and all of my mount.cifs processes from previous attempts are unkillable
if kill -9 doesn't work, what do i do?
graft: what processes ?
ikonia: /sbin/mount.cifs
graft: that's hanging around ?
yeah... basically if i change my network connection or start/stop it, the share hangs, and now i cant umount/remount it
and every attempt to mount it results in an unkillable process
graft: you can't change your network connection while it's mounted, that will hang it
graft are you remembering to sudo the kill command?
stale mounts
i usually kill through htop and often forgot to run it as sudo so that that actually works
I just built a time tracking application in pygtk it uses harvestapp.com api, if your interested, please check it out. https://github.com/aurorasoftware/TimeTracker-Linux
I'm looking to make it into a ubuntu deb package
there are screenshots in data/media directory too :)
I just got this - should I be worried? http://paste.ubuntu.com/1361745/
how do you enable universe in unity?
The Update Manager has checkboxes for those settings, gunarm1.
almoxarife: ttp://askubuntu.com/questions/126175/virtualbox-doesnt-load-after-12-04-upgrade  i followed this page. issue solved thank you almoxarife.
thanigaivel: cool :)
escott: checkinstall supposed to take a very long time?
ner0x, no
escott: Interesting. This one is.
DaemonicApathy, but when I check them, it doesnt seem to make any changes in /etc/apt/sources.list
escott: Could be because it's on an ec2 server.
do I have to click an apply button somewhere?
what package do i install for ccar
ner0x, it shouldnt take much longer than a normal make install would
Question: any ideas on how to make sure NetworkManager indefinitely tries to reconnect wired/wifi and also verifies it can reach outside the local network?
hey guys... whoah there's a lot of people here
gunarm1: it should ask you for the sudo password when you check one, and immediately apply the setting. Then, you can click Check in the main window.
^ on 12.04
escott: it sure is.
escott: Going on a few minutes now.
so I heard CDE is open-source now
any plans on a cdubuntu?
gunarm1: Of course, if you already know about accessing /etc/apt/sources.list , then you can just uncomment the universe entries, and save it.
Random832: using cde is like a timewarp back to the 80s
if it's ok, i have a quick question about creating a usb installer using pendrivelinux... is it going to format the usb drive to do it? im looking around for answers and not really finding anything. i get the feeling it will, which would be bad...
gufcfan, it doesnt
gufcfan, you have to format it manually-- make one partition on the usb-- as a fat32 , give it a letter drive, then start pendrive
gufcfan: assume it will.  backup any data, before starting!
DaemonicApathy, I am using a live iso, and it doesnt have anything commented like on a legit install.  I got it to accept the changes, but I still cannot install gddrescue maybe its in some other wierd repo
is there a howto for how to package something for ubuntu?
i am better not to do it right now, i can't back the data. thanks for that. a bit tired, should have realised that on my own. thanks
Random832, the easiest way would be checkinstall - but thats not the best way.
Random832: checkinstall does not produce packages suitable for distribution or ppas
Random832: http://developer.ubuntu.com/packaging/html/packaging-new-software.html also see the debian new maintainers guide
gufcfan, if youre shopping for spare usb sticks, i'd suggest lexar , they work good for usb booting (not all of them do, it's always possible lexar doesnt work well for you-- the right stuff can be a pita)
gunarm1: It's in Universe. If that's enabled, "sudo apt-get update ; sudo apt-get install ddrescue" should work for you.
where would be somewhere to post asking if anyone is interested on packaging cde for ubuntu
please help please help.. my ubuntu12.04 dosent get past login screen.. please help someone
??????????
Random832, CDE is obsolete.. even solaris uses gnome
escott: We're going on 10 minutes...
brayan: That doesn't count as a question.
i am presently loggger in from my other windows PC and chatting here
todos hablan ingles?
gnome sucks though
thanks jagginess, i don't know how to dm someone (or whatever you call it on irc). i was going to try and do it on an external seagate.in order to install it alongside windows 7 on an ageing computer. is this a bad idea?
Random832: i doubt anyone "really" wants the headache of packaging an out-dated DE for ubuntu any time soon.  perhaps as a joke, but i really don't see the point.  best of luck with cde.
 please some one assist me.. i have been tryin to fix thiis for the past 4 days but couldnt.. please its a critical situaton..please help
gufcfan, ?
gufcfan, what are you trying to use pendrive for? (you're trying to make a usb installer?)
please help please help.. my ubuntu12.04 dosent get past login screen.. please help someone
ansi_: Do you have any details about what is happening? Asking repeatedly will not help you.
jagginess, i just want to do a windows 7 / 12.10 dual-boot
py
'get past login screen' is vague. what does it do exactly
i have also joined in as ansi12 from my ubuntu machine using the startx command but nothing seems to be wrking
DaemonicApathy
ansi_: Great! But can you describe what is happening when you try to log in?
ansi_: try reinstalling ubuntu-desktop
ansi_, the probability of you getting a useful answer is directly proportionate to your skill at asking a question containing the necessary information
I am running Ubuntu 12.04 X86_64 and I am having trouble installing the graphics driver.
ansi_: aptitude remove ubuntu-desktop; aptitude install ubuntu-desktop; reboot
Well said, gunarm1.
DaemonicApathy earlier i tried to download a few things but later realized that there was no memory hence i couldnt login.. thine i read some forums that ctrl + alt+ f1 / f2 cam let u login thats wat i did
hi my power supply is as loud as a leaf blower. Would it be okay if i just cut the fans out?
ansi_: I suggest you backup your data with a liveCD/USB and reinstall Ubuntu.
downloading things dont take up memory. It ould take up disk space.
uabn93: ##hardware
uabn93: Better to replace the power supply.
and you can jump to/from the console with alt-ctrl f1 through f6, F7 should get you back to the GUI
i could login but nothing seems to be working
ansi_: did you try reinstalling ubuntu-desktop?
DaemonicApathy: it's been very difficult to determing how much power it needs.
ansi_: patebin /var/log/syslog
marun i am just doing that i had also logged in as ansi12 from my ubuntu pc
uabn93, may I pm you? This is a bit offtopic.
pastebin ansi_
DaemonicApathy: It's okay. ill leave to #hardware.
marun: sidenote - your "aptitude remove ubuntu-desktop; aptitude install ubuntu-desktop; reboot" is pointless on gnu/linux 90+% of the time.
Ok, good luck.
almoxarife i cant see anything more than a folder on the desktop how do i open internetviewer
gufcfan, you can choose the 'something else' when it comes to the partition-mapping with the ubuntu installer -- here's a hint http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fqlc_5bqId8
Stopping system V runlevel compatibility
ansi_: can you get to a terminal?
gufcfan, (you can resize ntfs with gparted live cd)
almoxarife i can get to the terminalyes
How do I find out which package provides "picins.sty"?
ansi_: sudo apt-get install pastebinit <-- in terminal
jagginess, am I making this more complicated than i need it to be? what about the windows installer?
pythonirc101, doesn't seem to be there
gufcfan, that's not a real linux install, though you can use it for "checking out" linux..  (reason is because a big "loopback" file sits on top of ntfs-- it's hard to resize space for linux or fix its bootloader in this "wubi" setup) -
pythonirc101: LaTeX?
yes
pythonirc101: http://public.kitware.com/pipermail/igstk-developers/2008-December/001812.html
gufcfan, ,if you're hardware is very fast that supports VT, perhaps you've heard of vbox
I do have latex, but no picins
almoxarife this is how i do it..i turn on my pc wait for the ubunutu login.. then enter the pass.. but it keeps getting back to the login screen and on the black screen i can barely get a glimpse of this written "Stopping system V runlevel compatibility" then i press ctrl+ alt+f1 and login with stop / start service loghtdm and  do a sudo startx and i am able to get just a blank desktop with a newfolder that i just created
Having trouble installing radeon graphics driver.
pythonirc101: i'd guess apt-file might be able to help you.  if it was something you've installed from a package, then using "dpkg -S picins.sty" might tell you
gufcfan: nothing wrong with a wubi install of ubuntu, and its real ubuntu
hi guys help i upgraded ubuntu but initramfs doesn't work, new kernels don't work because missing initrd, only old kernels boot and even if i reinstall newer kernels or call update-initramfs nothing works. Any idea?
jagginess, my hardware is ancient. part of the reason  i am installing ubuntu again. i liked it when i used it years ago but never got any further into it than installing and browsing web, watching video etc.
gufcfan, if its ancient then why do you meantion windows7 ?
ansi_: cool, you got it under control then
i have quite an old machinee here so is a wubi install more taxing than proper install?
almoxarife i did sudo -apt get install but it says pastebinit is already the newest version
ansi_: unity --reset
almoxarife what next??
hello fellas, anyone know how i may use my headphone controls on amarok?
* zykotick9 thinks "nothing wrong with a wubi install" is incorrect.  wubi does not seem to upgrade to newer versions very well, making them very temporary.  and making ubuntu rely on windows, is putting the horse before the cart
im using the beats tour with the pause, play and all thhose buttons
gufcfan: the good thing is that the iso used by wubi you can use for the full install, so there is nothing to lose by the wubi if you chose
almoxarife what next??  marun should i do that??
gufcfan, i'd have no clue... actually.. it would probably be better to do non-wubi
i unfort lost my machines and other stuff in a fire and am using a piece of crap that was given to me which has windows 7 on it. it struggles with a few tabs open in chrome and doesn't like anything north of 240/360p video on youtube
gufcfan, (the majority fo for non-wubi)
gufcfan, (./go for
ansi_: yeah, Most probably your unity is crashed/misconfigured. unity --reset will reset the settings
help I don't have initrd.img-3.5.0-18-generic for some reason, didn't get created when upgraded and can't boot, how do i generate it?
reduz: are you on an eufi system by chance?
marun!!!!!!.. i think. the unity has cme back!!!!... yeah.. but wait.. the desktop is blank.. where are all my files.. i think ti sisi someother username??.. should i reboot ??.. i can see the unty side panel appearing though.. but the desktop is still empty
zykotick9, what's that? how do i find out?
ansi_: give a reboot
zykotick9: the upgrade issue was something that one had to know the secret work-around, thats true, but for what it does, wubi is not a bad thing, i might never had converted to full blown linux had i not installed it first via wubi, some of us are/were scared to death to do anything that might kill windows without having a fall back,
marun and here is the terminal still on.. should i still reboot???
marun and here is the terminal still on.. should i still reboot???
reduz: you aren't then ;)  it's some new BIOS like thing.  i just saw someone mentioning issues with initrd not being created by grub on eufi system the other day.  different issue most likely.
ansi_: yeah. Please reboot
zykotick9, update-initramfs does nothing at all
zykotick9, ignores all arguments
i think it broke
ansi_: so you want to share your syslog or rather not?
reduz: sorry man.  i've only personally ever had to mess with initrd on like 1 or 2 occassions and that's it.  i have no recollection of the processes involved.  best of luck!
oh wait, i found out what it happened
i have a
update-initramfs.distrib which works
Is this the best place to ask about grub boot errors?
what does it mean?
marun no, i cant still logon normally.. the logon screen appears again and again
ok let's try
ansi_, you might try a different session (unity-2d) or the like
Getting the "please close all package managers" thing when i run boot-repair
marun no, i cant still logon normally.. the logon screen appears again and again
cmoylan: probably have 'synaptic' open?
ansi_: Ok, may be you should remove unity and install it again. I am not 100% sure if it works. But if I were you, I will do that. Please make a decision :)
So if I reboot from a terminal, it does...if I hit restart off the menu it goes to a black screen and sits
almoxarife: running off the live cd, installed boot-repair from terminal
i am with u.. as long as i dont lose whats on my desktop!
will that delete data???..
marun will that delete data???..
ansi_, have you tried the 2d session
ansi_, and no people aren't suggesting things that would delete data. only deleting settings (like the pinned apps in the unity side menu)
ansi_: If you are not sure, please backup your data to safe location from /home/<your username>/Desktop . It shouldn't cause any harm to data. But just in case
escott: is ansi_ using 12.04?  i don't think unity 2d exists in 12.10 does it?
escott i did try all the sessions nothing permits me inside
ansi_, all the sessions including?
hey all. Where has libqt4-multimedia gone to? I can't seem to find any mention of it.
zytotick9 yes sir i am usning 12.04
zykotick9, dunno i use gnome
how can i get to that part of disc where is windows? I have some files on desktop and I don't know how to get there from Ubuntu :(
escott ubuntu 2d, gnome, kde, xfce, xubuntu, etc
kajahodka, it should appear as a disk in nautilus. i think if you are using wubi you might not be able to access the windows partitoin. not sure of that
ansi_, that is weird
kajahodka: a wubi install?
kajahodka: ls /dev/disk/by-label/
ansi_, does the guest session work?
escott: actually, I had an issue where exactly that was happening... Not sure how I fixed it now.
I'm using Ubuntu from USB
kajahodka: then you can mount the partition to your fav directory
the only thing that works is loggint in using ctrl + alt+ F2
I don't understand :D
kajahodka: as in, to the empty directory of your choice.
wubi installs mount the windows disk to some /host/ or other mountpoint i recall
presently i am just struggling hard to get almoxarife the patebin /var/log/syslog file
dr_willis: its a usb boot something
I need to figure out how to get a particular program (and libraries) installed properly.
ansi_, sudo apt-get install pastebinit; pastebin /var/log/syslog
is there a way i can start crome or firefox from the terminal???
then either nautilus could auto-mount it, or you can try mounting it by hand,
ansi_:  'firefox' starts firefox..
ansi_: in terminal 'sudo pastebinit /var/log/syslog'
you may want to do 'firefox &'
ansi_: share the link
dr_willis, he doesn't have a gui
then hes using the 'console' :)
ansi_, things with the gnome settings break when you flipflop through unity<->non-unity-gnome desktops..
ansi_: you said, you were able to open folder on your desktop. open the folder and navigate to /usr/bin/ and double click on firefox binary. Thats it
ansi_, i personally just wipe out my .<gnome> directory (after i soon did a new install of ubuntu-- but you have to analyze your own case)
SIRS  here it is.. http://paste.ubuntu.com/1361795/
almoxarife   http://paste.ubuntu.com/1361795/
almoxarife   http://paste.ubuntu.com/1361795/
where should link from /usr/include/linux point to ? or better - which package has content for this directory ?
ansi_: got it
is there a gdm theme login manager for ubuntu?
yeah.. thanks..
oh god
this is the first day I'm using Ubuntu, and I STILL DON'T KNOW how to get to my files from windows :D I'm not good in computers so go slowly :P
boot ubuntu as a live cd on that machine
kajahodka, have you installed ubuntu on the same machine? eg dual boot?
Interesting line from ansi_'s paste: "Your BIOS is broken; DMAR reported at address 0!"
when you get the desktop up, click top left icon of the ubuntu symbol, type terminal, click the terminal icon, type in sudo nautilus, find your drive.
steale, i'm using ubuntu from USB
kajahodka: Chances are you have your windows partition listed near the bottom of the dash panel on the left.
Ahh, then follow what th3pun15h3r said and everything should be shiny :)
Daemonic
DeamonicApathy, no it's not there..
Hi! Is there a way to have wine 1.4 and 1.5 at the same time in the same ubuntu? I need to have installed 1.4, which works with crossover linux XI, but I saw some programs like photoshop are working with 1.5 and I would like to have it. So, is it possible? thanks!!
DaemonicApathy, does that matter if he isn't using the iommu?
DaemonicApathy i think the BIOS is just  okay as i just a few days ago upgraded it..and also that my dual boot win7 works pretty fine
escott: No idea, I just figured I'd throw it out there so it wasn't missed.
ansi_, can you do the same for /var/log/Xorg.0.log
I used the crunchbang 9.04.01 install script on a minimal install of ubuntu 12.04 the only thing I havent figured out how to fix is to either add a background on the gdm login manager or to install either slim or lightdm login manager in its place to get rid of the stupid blue screen background
javierf_, You should be able to compile both versions from source
kajahodka: Try th3pun15h3r's suggestion. If you still don't see your Windows drive listed, you can try using the Disk Utility to make sure it's mounted.
steale, I see. So compiling would be the only way. Let's say, if I already have 1.4 installed, I would download 1.5 source code and compile it and have both working
ya gparted is a good idea
kajahodka, run terminal and run the commands, mkdir /mnt/windows (or anything you would like eg /home/user/windows - whatever) then run fdisk -l and find the HDD name most likley /dev/sda1 then run the command sudo mount -t ntfs /dev/sda1 /home/user/windows
or the disk manager on ubuntu live cd as well
I prefer that one for beginners, th3pun15h3r. gparted can get messy if you're not careful...
escott this is for /varlog.syslog   http://paste.ubuntu.com/1361795/ and this one is for /varlog.Xorg.0.log     http://paste.ubuntu.com/1361797
escott this is for /varlog.syslog   http://paste.ubuntu.com/1361795/ and this one is for /varlog.Xorg.0.log     http://paste.ubuntu.com/1361797
ansi_, no need to repeat
ya I forgot about disk manager just recently found out about that one I learned partitioning of linux with gparted
and with pc repair at the shop i use to work ta
problem is that i am not able to login with my regular user id.. the login screen keeps reappearing after i enter the password.. but i do get a glimpses of something that reads HWactivator and V runlevel compatibility
DaemonicApathy i think the BIOS is just  okay as i just a few days ago upgraded it..and also that my dual boot win7 works pretty fine
steale: fdiskmustdie ;)  "parted -l" replaces "fdisk -l"  fdisk doesn't support gpt (replacement for msdos partitions, required for 2.XTB support.  and generally much nicer to work with, no limit on "primary" partitions :)
ansi_, did you enable encrypted home?
escott what does that mean???
Any good high-res screen recording software?
ansi_, when you installed there was an option for an encrypted home. did you enable it. does "ls /home/username" show your files (replacing username with your username
escott wait
ansi_, although you are logged in at the console so im not sure what that means for ecryptfs
escott it shows files
aethero: There are a few options suggested in this thread: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613023
ansi_, and "mount | grep ecr" does that show anything
ansi_: pastebinit /var/log/auth.log
mount | grep ecr dosent show anything
ok guys im having a issue
ansi_, in addition to /var/log/auth.log can you also "pastebinit ~/.xsession-errors"
almoxarife  http://paste.ubuntu.com/1361810/
i am presently chatting from another machine..
i am presently chating from another windows machine
i want to install DeVeDe but is says i must remove 3 file formats in order to install is there any way to install it and totally make the dependencies separate from this way they dont interfere with each other
steale, why is it possible to install both from the source and not from the deb package?
hi
hihi
almoxarife, i cant make sense of this "pam_succeed_if(lightdm:auth): requirement "user ingroup nopasswdlogin" not met by user "ansi"" does that mean he is not allowed to login or that he is
because when installing from the deb packages the package manager gets involved at starts dealing with dependencies and will try updating etc... if you are familiar with compiling from source etc it'll be simpler and probably more stable that trying to do it with .deb's if dpkg would even support 2 versions
pastebinit /var/log/auth.log        http://paste.ubuntu.com/1361810/                pastebinit ~/.xsession-errors         http://paste.ubuntu.com/1361812/
escott: he is not in the group (ansi) ?
almoxarife i am now also logged in from my ubuntu pc as ansi12 also
I want to switch to gnupg2 and the gnupg2 agent ... is it safe for me to delete gnome-keyring, or is that needed under the hood by [x]ubuntu?
almoxarife i just pasted the xsession and the auth.log earlier
ansi12_, i can see the problem now
oh ..please help me then
is there a way u can remote control?
ansi12_, hmmm
ansi12_, what does "whoami" say?
whoami
ansi12_, its a command like pastebinit
root
ansi12_, why are you root right now?
then how am i suppose to log in .. all i am doing is ctrl + alt+ f1 or f2 then  sudo startx
ansi12_, maybe you ran "sudo -i" out of convenience
ansi12_: you are logging in with a root account? root has a password, right?
ansi12_, that would have been helpful to know earlier :)
what does sudo -i do?
ansi12_, i need to see /home/ansi/xsession-errors.log
yesalmoxarife
I am about 10 seconds away from purchasing this laptop http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834131383&nm_mc=AFC-C8Junction&cm_mmc=AFC-C8Junction-_-na-_-na-_-na&AID=10440897&PID=3891137&SID=rewrite does anyone know if I'll be able to install Ubuntu on it?
ansi12_, ~ expands to your home I thought you were ansi, but you became /root with sudo -i... so thats confusing
ansi12_: but you dont have the password to 'ansi' , right?
:]
almoxarife no i have the password.. what do u mean?
superfake123, questions would be related to the network cards, but intel chips and intel graphics should be well supported
escott when i do pastebinit /home/ansi/xsession-errors.log it says Unable to read from: /home/ansi/xsession-errors.log
superfake123, i'm guessing you like will be able to, even if its uefi
superfake123, (./likely)
ansi12_, "ls -l /home/ansi | pastebinit"
ok thanks guys!
hi guys help, i managed to get inird generated again, but when booting the latest kernel (3.5) I get an initramfs prompt complaining that it gave up waiting for the hard drive (using a previous kernel, 3.2 works fine). Any ideas?
superfake123, however the support for the trackpad and touhscreen are likely not supported :)
reduz: where did you get that kernel ?
escott http://paste.ubuntu.com/1361830/
almoxarife??
can you force fullscreen apps to run in windowed mode with commandline params?
almoxarife i know the password.. and thats how i have logged in to this session
ansi12_, sorry my typo "pastebinit /home/ansi/.xsession-errors"
ikonia, it's the ubuntu 12.10 kernel, i can't get it to work after i upgraded from 12.04
reduz: why did you re-generate the initramfs ?
escott http://paste.ubuntu.com/1361833/
nicekiwi, i tend to use workspaces with keyboard shortcuts.. it's much easier
escott http://paste.ubuntu.com/1361833/
jagginess, explain..
ikonia, after upgrade, initrd was not generated anymore because for some reason update-initramfs was empty and some update-initramfs.distrib was there instead.  Probably a bug in the ubuntu update process
nicekiwi, you should  know.. since you're already asking a cli question :)
ansi12_, aggh this is why you dont run sudo startx. its probably your XAUTHORITY file.
reduz: don't think so
sounds like your upgrade hasn't worked
ansi12_, try "ls -al /home/ansi | grep root" and any files you see there owned by root probably need to be removed
jagginess, ur answer makes sense assuming the shortcuts work and assuming the app dosnt resize ur screen res..
like delete??
reduz, you should try to type apt-get update, then apt-get upgrade,
ikonia, jagginess  well, I didn't do anything weird or tinkered with anything while upgrading and it seems to have completed, so I assume it is a bug
reduz: not seen anyone else reporting it, it maybe worth you checking on launchpad.net
escott ls -al /home/ansi | grep root
drwxr-xr-x   3 root root     4096 Mar 26  2012 ..
-rw-------   1 root root      100 Nov 16 00:20 .Xauthority
-rw-------   1 root root   504987 Nov 16 09:16 .xsession-errors
ikonia, i did see people reporting it on older ubuntu versions
never seen it, check for bug reports
escott what do i do now?
Does Chrome browser work for Ubuntu 12.10  64bit?
looks to me like the upgrade didn't complete, so it didn't move the new file into place
ansi12_, rm /home/ansi/.Xauthority /home/ansi/.xsession-errors
escott did it now what??
should i reboot now??
ansi12_, ctrl-alt-f7 and see if you can login
ikonia, in any case, i fixed that by following instructions from this post - http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=11557028
hi, what is the easiest way to change the default entry in GRUB menu? I'm still struggling with GRUB 2. The legacy version was much simpler. Now I need to do that without adding a PPA. Preferably without any extra software
no cant login and as soon as i did ctrl +alt f7 i can only see blackscreen
ikonia, but now the kernel wont boot, it can't find the hard drive device by uuid and i don't know where to configure that. older kernel works fine
melvincv: look for update-grub or something like that
excott no cant login and as soon as i did ctrl +alt f7 i can only see blackscreen
melvincv: edit /etc/default/grub then run "sudo update-grub", then reboot for many of the options
escott no cant login and as soon as i did ctrl +alt f7 i can only see blackscreen
you don;t have to manually change anything, it auto-detects
not thereis nothing ctrl+alt+f7  =  black screen with text and ctrl +alt+f1 black screen
ansi_, ok then i guess reboot and try and login normally
zykotick9: what should I edit? I have GRUB_DEFAULT=saved now. But I'm not sure how that works.
melvincv: what do you want to do?
set Windows 7 as the default OS for now.
escott doing it
i have no way to fix this myself, since grub 2 does not have menu.lst anymore
why is that so hard? I also tried update-grub and grub-set-default. Not working.
reduz, its /boot/grub/grub.cfg now
I think a sector on my internal hard drive just went bad. I just lost over 80% of my data files including config files for many of my programs. On the plus side I had 98% of it backed up. On the bad side, I am wondering how I can temperarily restore my drive. I am trying to use command line tools but they are not working for me. Any GUI tools for it?
I'd like to edit /boot/grub/grub.cfg directly.
escott, that file is like reading chinese to me
holyguyver, put it in the freezer
melvincv: what's stopping you
reduz, really its almost identical to menu.lst
And block update-grub from updating that file
escott, how, it is an internal hard drive inside of a desktop
escott!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!... i am back in!!!!!!! :D thankyou thankyou!!!... ure the man!!
holyguyver, phillips head screwdriver
wow!!!!.. ure a hero!!
maybe rename update-grub?
escott: I would rather not go around removing hard drives
holyguyver, if its failing mechanically there isn't anything in software that will fix it
escott!! can u please give me the knowledge of what had happened?? and what do do in such situations.. pardon me.. but i am fairly ignarant and have very less knwledge of linux and ubuntu
Esa_: I know, but there are commandline recovery tools that sya they help with bad sectors, so I was wondering if there are any GUI front ends
shit I meant escott
escott!! can u please give me the knowledge of what had happened?? and what do do in such situations.. pardon me.. but i am fairly ignarant and have very less knwledge of linux and ubuntu
ansi_, XAuthority is a file that controls who has permission to draw to the screen. without the contents of the XAuthority file you cannot draw to the screen. you ran a gui application with sudo which saw that the XAuthority file it was looking at was not owned by root and said "well thats not secure" and changed the ownership of it to root.
(newbies don't try this) Ok, so I will be editing grub.cfg and renaming update-grub. Hope I don't break my system. And I should remember to restore it before a kernel update. Right?
ansi_, which is all well and good except that the Xauthority it was looking at was /home/ansi/.Xauthority locking you out of your own gui
holyguyver, never heard or a command line tool to deal with bad sectors
and then now u asked me to remove the file right??
escott:  Okay, thanks for trying to help
ansi_, so it could generate a new one with correct permissions
Hi! to compile a program I need to run "./configure prefix=/path/to/install/directory && make". If I'm in downloads folder, how to write the path? absolute way?
melvincv, to backup: cp /boot/grub/grub.cf /boot/grub/grub.cf.bak
javierf_, first check if the program is in apt. there should be a -- before the "prefix", and finally use checkinstall instead of make install
javierf_, and yes absolute paths
melvincv, oops i missed the g.
holyguyver: there is a command line tool, but it should be run ONLY from the live cd. $ sudo e2fsck -c <device file>
escott, thing is, it's wine when I already have another version installed. So, I need to use prefix to set a different directory. But I can't run the command even using absolute directories, keep saying that the folder can't be found
OerHeks: thanks, but I was asking if I could rename update-grub :)
meLon: what will that do?
melvincv:
javierf_, you may need to make the folder or something
thanks a TON Escott!!!!!! ur ethe MAN!!.... thanks a lot for helping me!!.. please.. if all u are listening!!.. escott is a HERO!!!.. a really helpful person who just helped a stranger !!!!!!
holyguyver: that should not be run on a mounted partition. So you asked me something?
ansi_, this is actually a really easy thing to fix once i found out you were running sudo startx
melvincv: what does that command do?
escott, but I already did that. I placed a folder called .wine1510 inside my home folder, and wrote the command like this: "javier@javier:~/Descargas/wine-1.5.10$ ./configure --prefix=home/javier/.wine1510 &&make" (being javier my user name)
melvincv, sure, but then upgrade cannot find grub.cfg to edit, and reboot get stuck too
javierf_, /home not home
escott it would've been easy for you but it was like a life saver for me..! thanks man!!!
escott, no luck, also tried that...
holyguyver, man e2fsck | grep -C5 -- -c
melvincv: I am currently using the command line programs of RecoverDM, ExtUndelete, & Foremost
i'll remember that.
holyguyver, and not something you should be doing... if the disk is going bad turn it into a necklace don't try and salvage the good parts of it
letme reloginback and see
escott, this is what i get: "bash: ./configure: the file or the directory don't exist"
javierf_, are you in the folder where you unpacked the source
holyguyver: that checks for bad blocks and adds them to the bad blocks inode. But I'm not sure if the info stays if the drive is formatted :(
melvincv, no it would not
melvincv: It doesnt
Is there a Que system for asking for help?
escott, yes, I am. But I will make sure again, often this kind of thing have at the end a stupid explanation
t_ no
melvincv: I have been a linux user since 2003, I know enough to know how formatting works
is ddrescue of any use for an SSD with bad blocks?
javierf_, it could be an autotools autoconf program. perhaps they didn't ship a ./configure
gunarm1, sure
gunarm1, in some sense no
what is the 'current' best setup for ssd? I read i should not use discard and just do fstrim once a day?
gunarm1, if the ssd doesn't show a block it will never find it because the ssd doesn't give access to the raw storage, but you can dd the remaining blocks the ssd knows about
Oh, too bad. I ran that command on an old HDD that had bad blocks. Maybe just use it without reformatting? :)
Ok so I have been unable to create a network share folder using ubuntu. It will let me right click and share the folder but then when I try to open it with another pc it tells me that it is unable to mount. So then I shared a folder outside of my home folder and it worked. So I'm wondering, is Ubuntu unable to share a folder within a Encrypted home folder?
escott, I was just wondering if ddrescue algorithms worked on  SSD and not just magnetic drives
holyguyver: I respect that. I'm a user since 2008.
gunarm1, i dont know what algorithms there are. you read the data and leave holes where you cant get a good read
i see
t_, yes. (unless you are logged in at that particular momen)
Hum.. it was logged in and still wouldn't mount, interesting.
But I'll try creating a folder outside of my home folder for the sake of sharing that.
t_, if they are smart about it they will disable sharing within the ecryptfs just to avoid confusion when people are logged out (because most will test when they are logged in and be very angry to find out its not working when they are in hawaii)
I need autoconf 2.64 on my system, but 2.68 will not uninstall. All sorts of intersting errors. Ideas?
what_if, you should be able to install multiple versions of autotools
escott: hmm, brb
melvincv: I at least know enough that when someone gives me a commandline command in this room, I know enough to ask "& what does that do?" before using that ;) otherwisew people tell you to delete "/" :p
Anyone installed 12.10 on Mac with any luck?
here is a rather simple question: can i install different distro's to a removable 1tb HD? (without format?) is it as simple as shrinking and resizing and creating extended partitions with custom partition table?
domain_, maybe. if your bios supports it
holyguyver: :) very good to have an understanding about the command. I appreciate that.
I want to mount nfs shares from my nfs-kernel-server (ubuntu) on windows. How do i do that? when i type \\IP_Address, it is not showing the mounts
escott, my bios WILL allow me... after the new partition, i need TWO data tables for /home and /boot correct?
holyguyver: In fact, I mentioned a command, but that's not the first step. You might have noticed. If you just run e2fsck -c it will print a message only :)
domain_, if your bios does support it then treat is as if it were a normal internal disk
anyone faced same issue?
when i click start on virtualbox,  that have rainbow screen,   not loading windows,  what's this?
help please!
BronzeTotte: follow the readme
marun, you need an nfs client for windows. make the unix services thing from microsoft will offer that
Hmm
***Safety and security of all users first, for all the people I help. But I'm not perfect. So, always better to cross check with some documentation before running a command.
Where is the cheapest place to buy a .com domain name?
escott, dumb question but will it install to a logical partition?
domain_, sure linux doesn't care
I've tried following the readme, but without success.
escott: let me check. thnx
escott, sry buggin you... last question.. is there a quicker way to create a new partition than GPARTED? is has to read the 1TB is 4MB blocks before moving... which takes 9hrs... is there a quicker way??
exit
domain_, huh?
thank you guys :)
escott, in order to create a new partition on my external it needs to"shrink and resize" the 1TB... before it does this process it "reads" the drive in 4MB blocks
escott, it takes forever
domain_, if you have to shrink the partition thats just how long its going to take
escott, damn... ok.... thank you
domain_, its often faster for large and relatively empty drives to copy the data off, then create new tables and move it back
escott, i was thinking the same thing but it's 700GB of existing data and no where else to drop it... i will just wait for the shrink
domain_, then the resize is faster. the resize will move ~300GB copying off and back is 1400GB
Has anyone successfully installed a Samsung CLX-3185 printer in Ubuntu 12.10?
man, escott, trying to run ddrescue on this 60G SSD and getting errorsize=9223 PB, that cant be good
lol
gunarm1, i've heard SSD's do that... start reporting they are a lot bigger or smaller than they really are
gunarm1, http://blog.valerieaurora.org/2008/09/13/to-ssd-or-not-to-ssd/
gunarm1, our could probably have an SSD that reports infinite size if one of the block mappings points back on itself
escott: multuple versions installed. Assumed they would conflict... thanks :)
what_if, no autotools is built for that usecase
what_if, developers tend not to like being unable to compile their program because a dependency is slow to upgrade their version of autotools
i'm trying to install over a network. i'm at the step "choose a mirror of the ubuntu archive" and i want to select my own url,
escott: yeah, we have a defined environment /build server at work, at home.. I am on my own. Thanks again
this guide says i should be able to do that https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/LocalNet
but there doesn't seem to be a way to do that, i can just choose us.archive.ubuntu.com or go back
do you think I should just l let it continue? I know it can take days,
escott
gunarm1, well now that its started it would be a really bad idea to stop it
escott, also, i thought SSD's had gotten better recently... this is the first one I ever tried
gunarm1, sorry
heh
confused your question for another one
ah
ssd's are they better... maybe, but you can't change the underlying fact that its a firmware filesystem
hello! how can i reboot ubuntu 12.10 on recoveyr mode or someway so i can access system config/BIOS/UEFI?
how do you get online games to play after you download them
b0w, "reboot"
ses1984: you dont have the option 'enter manually'?
nope
escott, uh? seriously?

how do you get shaiya to play on linix it keeps saying somthing is missing
eric94, the button is in near/ the laser point, if you just look right there :) zzzzzapp!!
man I thought I was behind the times by having all these hdds, wouldn't you know I would go out on a limb and try to get hip on my server os drive hosting my 10TB raid array and headless deluge webclient which was super hard to set up
but thanks escott, ill let it run
b0w, if you are at the console thats how you reboot
i've tried expert install in order to manually select a mirror, and it gave me more options but still didn't let me enter a url
gunarm1, i really wish they sold consumer level raw NAND
it asks me for the protocol, then country, then gives me a mirror
Anyone know anything about Samsung CLX-3185?
ses1984, you could modify the iso to include your url
ahh i see in the country list at the very top i can enter manually.
hello hello!!!!

hi
where does php-pear install to?
anyone here like xubuntu?
dfgas-cr48, /home/"username"/pear
for all: ok thanks
Quit
domain_, I don't really care for the xubuntu distro, but I do use XFCE in place of unity.
no real difference topophil1
oops  topper4125
KM0201, Gedit instead of leafpad, Nautilus instead of Thunar, a few differfences that with a regular Ubuntu install means I don't have to bother with the whole install/uninstall process... but other than that... ya, no real difference.
So I'm doing execl("/bin/bash", "bash", "/tmp/script"); right?
And the script executes fine.  But when I run my program as root, the script doesn't inherit root as far as I can tell.  What gives?
gh403, users are allowed to write in ~ and /tmp , /tmp has a special chmod (1777)
topper4125, you can also use the 'mate desktop' and gnome-classic in ubuntu
jagginess, yup :) I have a bunch of DE's installed, but of all of them, XFCE is my fav... was the easiest to tweak for my style of use, and seems to be the fastest for my 'lil atom processor.
-f
topper4125, yeah for notebook power, gnome is a real power sucker with its effects on
jagginess, for this system, using KDE is like dumping syrup on the motherboard lol

<-- has a single core 1.66 atom processor, 1 Gig DDR 3, on board Intel graphics, the smaller footprint the DE has (While still being functional with my style of use) the better.
topper4125: i meant, no real difference in using xfce on Ubuntu, rather than usinb Xubuntu(the distro)... it's the same thing.
hi
topper4125, also the chrome browser set to ram cache only saves power
of course I know there's differences between Unity/Gnome and Xfce
hello all I need some help, I can login as guest running 12.04 however if I try to login as a user on my system it only loads my wallpaper however nothing else shows up, everything is still here its like the gui is not loading I have gone into recovery and ran low graphics mode and it seems to all work however when i login normal I can get any gui to load up? any ideas before I try to backup my files and reload the whole OS?
jagginess: I see, thanks.
i'm trying to enter my own mirror during an ubuntu installation, and it keeps saying bad archive mirror.
I use " exec -a "$0" "$HERE/chrome" " --disk-cache-dir=/dev/shm/$USER " "$@"         "   (without the surround first and last quotation marks)   i replace the last line of /opt/google/chrome/google-chrome       , if anyone is interested
when i put the hostname in, as the name or ip, without a trailing slash, and i check the logs, it's trying to wget files from "hostnamedirname" without a slash in between.
so i try to re-enter the hostname with a trailing slash, and go through the menu, and it says bad archive mirror again, but in the log it didn't try to wget anything
from recovery root shell how do I copy each users home folder to the external F: drive?
Tempus_Fugit, try unity --reset
how do i unbuntu myself?
escott: from root shell?
Tempus_Fugit, no
escott: ok how?
ya... the underpinnings are identical, the only real differences really are superficial, like some of the pre-installed packages, which have nothing to do with the DE, just ghat for the utilities I like to run, some/most of them come with the Ubuntu Distro, with xubuntu, I have to do a 'small' bit of tweaking to get them. (like Nautilus vs Thunar)... other than 'utilities' they are the same platform.
Tempus_Fugit, best to do this from the console. boot up. ctrl-alt-f1
escott: login as myself then when I get nothing but wallpaper and no unity or dock then try the ctrl-alt-f1?
Tempus_Fugit, yep. then export DISPLAY=:0 and try the unity --reset
Tempus_Fugit, then sudo service lightdm restart and see if that makes things better
Tempus_Fugit, or run unity --reset from the low graphics mode
that may be easier for you
escott: ok thank you will try that then ill be back

Hi, when I close the my laptop lid and open it after some time, screen becomes non-responsive, mouse cursor moves but everything else is freezed how do I correct that?
im running quantal 12.10 with gnome-panel (gnome session fallback) how do I get a taskbar like windows with icon only window list?
I can drop into CLI by ctrl+alt+f2 but I don't what process to restart.
escott: is there anyway I can restart any particular process and get it working again, without restarting the whole thing?
sathish, well you can check dmesg there. you can also try and restart the gui service with "service lightdm restart"
escott: me is not nerdy enuf to understand those logs :(
sathish, you can pastebinit to us
djjeff, install the Talika gnome panel applet, it displays icons only, no window names.
entify dball99
so for some reason now when i shutmy laptop all the way down
topper4125: talika isnt supported on quantal
djjeff, really??? suprised to read that.
I have used talika on 10.04
and bring it back up it gives me a message about waiting another 60 seconds for the network to start?  then when the desktop finally does come up i have to wait another 60 seconds for the wireless to start working
wtf is that all about?
ive see that happen when there is some crazy stuff in the interfaces file (aparently network-manager is not a big fan of that now
but the only thing i have in there is an auto up for eth0  and i thought that nm put that in there
escott: thanks a ton "sudo service lightdm restart" worked great, now pastebining /var/log/dmesg since I don't have /var/log/dmesg.log file :)
sathish, sounds like everything is working except something with X
sathish, maye you are running nvidia or amd proprietary drivers
I love linux and ubuntu for some reason I see myself STUCK with microsoft for games cause of " DIRECT X 11 "
escott good work with helping out sathish i been lurking reading this one cause it happens from time to time with me also
grendal_prime, you shouldnt touch the interfaces file, unless you completely disable networkmanager, or if you have network-manager configured not to touch interfaces defined configured by the interfaces file
grendal_prime, (man NetworkManager.conf<enter> shows the manual page)
escott: when I cat dmesg file, It showed something about Optimus chip, If I remember correctly that was the reason linus raised his finger recently :D
sathish, yeah
grendal_prime, there's alot of outdated documentation out there.. there's acutally cli command for nm (nmcli, nm<tab><tab>)
grendal_prime, i was in your place a few years ago..
grendal_prime, takes time to get used to
jagginess, i always had the impression nmcli was only useful for bringing up defined profiles not for creating profiles
djjeff, DockbarX is simular to Talika, from what I just read Talika isn't supported anymore :o
topper4125 I have dockbarx installed it is nice
just doesnt interact well with gnome panel
or havent found a way to add gnome menu to dockbarx
honestly.... I hate unity
ya... me too, that's why I moved to XFCE (has icon only built it btw).
escott: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1361925/ this is the dmesg file :)
my friends are telling me to switch to linux mint with xfce
*... built IN
I might try linux mint in a VM first
sathish, im not going to have much to say about it if you are using prop drivers. i thought it was freezing not that the gui wasnt restarting correctly
I have dual boot window and ubuntu. From Yesterday  ubuntu is not showing window c  partition. How to get it back
Mint isn't bad... almost went with it back when I was 'Distro-shopping' they put a lot of work in their distro
Any Idea, Any One ?
escott: I'm not using any prop drivers I guess, but anyway your earlier sugesstion to restart lightdm is good enough for me, just pasted the log, just so u know. Thanks a lot. Have a great day :)
topper4125,  not really.. they use repositories from debian and ubuntu
topper4125,  ( i tested their latest mate 13, the developers forgot to include the latest keyrings with it)
sathish, if you aren't using prop its a little strange why it wouldnt come back correctly. intel should be well supported, but optimus may throw a wrench in things
Guest44330, does it not show in os-prober
Guest44330: ubuntu wont show C:... it'll show the windows partition... it'll show up like a USB stick does in the filemanager
topper4125,  (mate desktop is available on ubuntu)
so far ubuntu is the only linux os that actually shows the amd admin panel gui when i click it the rest wont even bring up the enter password to acc the catalyst gui
escott: Yes
hello
escott:  I think i have to install ntfs-config ?
but then again this laptop isnt made for linux either (or at least componet wise isnt very linux friendly )
I'm having a weird problem with keyrings on my other netbook, the dialog to enter root password keeps poppiing up for some unknown reason, and it doesn't tell me what app/process is asking for it.
Guest44330: are you trying to boot windows? or mount the windows partition from inside ubuntu?
Evil_Eric: There is a bug in the script that affects Xfce: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fglrx-installer/+bug/1019023
Hi
jhansonxi oh i dint know that thanks for the info ill read on it now
holstein: Actullay Ubuntu is showing the partition created in window but now it is not showing the window partitoin created in ntfs
Evil_Eric: That script seems a bit weak and may have trouble determining what sudo front-end to use with your distros.
hi
hi
Guest44330: just keep elaborating for the volunteers here.. "now", as in, it used to? what is "it".. maybe output 'sudo fdisk -l' in pastebin for reference
can u help me a
holstein, uggggghhhh fdisk must die
jhansonxi i dont have the issue with this right now but now i wanna try mint for awhile but i dont wanna dump my computer and start over ive put to much work into the gui

torphiqua, launchpad.net
yeah i ve looked there but which specifies should i have?
if you can't read the documentation on how to contribute to ubuntu - your chances of being able to contribute ids zero
ikonia: lol, so harsh, but so true.
"contribute | torphiqua
torphiqua: maybe look for a team to join.. one that you can help with to get experience
torphiqua: bugs always need attention..
first he has to make an account.. he hasn't even read up on how to do that.. so yes.. your chances of contributing starts with bug reporting..

I just installed 12.10.  My wifi says connected but I am getting no internet?
who's here?
jmfurlott, It happen for me but sometime reconnect works
can someone help me out with configuring ethernwt on my lenovo G580??/
I'm on backtrack. but the config goes the same for ubuntu and BT. so help please!
what are you trying to configure it to do?
enable my LAN adapter!
Melvin, you have been told where to go for backtrack, it is not supported here.
food1, even after a reboot, it doesn't work
food1, just kidding <3
jmfurlott can you ping a website? or use 216.239.51.99 directly for google?
OerHeks, its working.  I tried pinging too but it looks like a reboot fixed it
OerHeks, well at 25 kb/s which is weird
jmfurlott, if ping works, it is a DNS issue
OerHeks, pinging did not

oops
OerHeks, wait you're right
ikonia, i dont know how to package things into a deb but then i need to figure out how to host it (yes)
OerHeks, I lost internet again even though it says I am connected.  It pings google with the address you gave me though and then loops into "From 10.0.1.1 icmp_seq=xx Destination net unreachable"
hey guys, can anybody help with downgrading from 12.10 to 12.04 ?
dragonfly: can't do it
ikonia: Quantal is so buggy and running very slow
ok
ikonia: any way I can go back to precise without losing my data ?
dragonfly: why downgrade?
dragonfly: back up your data, re-install, restore your data
domain_ : Because its too buggy and slow
ikonia: is it safe to backup the data from encrypted home directory and then restore back ?
dragonfly: yes
if a user gets removed, do the processes get killed too?
dragonfly, you could do a fresh install of 12.04 and keep the data in your /home directory if you select manual partitioning and select the currently used partition(s) but NOT format them. however some of the config files for the apps you alreasy used with 12.10 may have overwritten their config files with a newer version which is incompatitible with the older apps coming in with 12.04. that may lead to problems with those apps.
ikonia: Alright, I'll do this today, By the way, is there any estimated figure you can provide about normal booting time of a fresh installation of Ubuntu ? I am running it on a core i7 processor with 10 GB of RAM and it takes about 5 minutes to boot up
no
certainly quicker than 5 minutes
dragonfly: suggestion, don't use encyption unless you have a genuine need
topper4125: I have a couple of partitions encrypted, does that matters anyhow ?
I used to have a student shell account, seems irssi still runs in screen
ikonia: any way to safely remove the encryption ?
dragonfly: do it when you re-install
dragonfly, shouldnt take no more than 30-45 seconds
Anyone know why a ping would connect but then return a "Destination Net Unreachable" error?
* jagginess accidentally used a double negative
ikonia: but the home directory is already encrypted on Quantal, what if I just reinstall the Precise ? Will I lose the partition or it will ask me for key to unlock the partition ?
dragonfly: you can unlock it
jmfurlott, traceroute may say where the problem is
dragonfly: I'd suggest backing up the data a.) to be safe b.) remove the encuption
dragonfly, to be honest, I don't play with encrypted drives... like ikonia said, only use them if you have a genuine need, can't honestly say what would happen.
ikonia: OK, thanks
if possible, burn what you can of /home to a dvd, thumbdrives, whatever you can find, and hope for the best, that's about all I can tell ya for clawing back to 12.04
jagginess, how does tracenet work?
traceroute*
how to share laptop wireless  internet with other computer over ethernet
topper4125: I have some genuine reasons thats why I put up the encryption on drive, anyway, I am looking for a way to remove the encryption now, maybe google can help
I want to save/copy  a flash video. I am using FF. WHat is the path to cache?

KM0201, what kernel is 12.10? 3.4?
jmfurlott: dunno, i had probs w/ 12.10, didn't feel like messing with it.. so i just went back to 12.04
in 12.10, i didn't like how everytime i tried to search for an app in the dashboard, it was showing me crap for sale
KM0201 it says up to 3.4 so I can't use their drivers
Architecture 32 and 64 is basically 32 and 64 bit right?
oh ok.
KM0201 I agree but 12.04 wouldn't even boot for me
wouldn't even boot?
KM0201, the screen would just go black I hit start ubuntu from the disc
hmm
is there a wubi-like installer that will actually allow me to set up ubuntu on unpartitioned space on my machine?
Sazpaimon: not to my knowledge, thats not what wubi does.. why not just use a cd or usb?
don't feel like digging out my blank cds or usb sticks
ah ok.
Sazpaimon: ?... that's a terrible answer.
i suspect there's another reason
hello everyone, i have a command line system ubuntu based. Now i install it over other hardware through dd command. but i need a installer something like remastersys, i can not use remastersys because it required gnome/ graphical environment, and i have a memory limitation.
KM0201, nope, pure laziness
then nothing we say can help you overcome that
I just installed Quantal. Just curious, Why is amazon on the dash?
is there any command line tool like remastersys ?
its unfortunate, because debian has a windows installer that will allow installation to a partition
i was hoping ubuntu had the same thing
aum__, dd?

Hi all, can I read a pdf file having graphics using command line console in ubuntu server? If not can it be converted in other format to read it?
mhr, convert pdf to text that can be read in a tty?
or html if it will extract the images as well
bazhang, but it has graphics too,
bazhang, our client needs a installer, to manage his partition.
alright, alright, I have a usb stick sitting here. I was using it as my portage tree for another machine, but I guess I can sacrifice it
topper4125, i meant to view in ubuntu server having no GUI
mhr, you wish to view images (jpg/png/etc) without xserver?
bazhang, yes if they can also be converted to some other compatible format to be viewed in command line console.

DaemonicApathy: What filesystem does it use?
NoOova, looks like a server issue there
OerHeks, I need to view the pdf file in ubuntu server, not the terminal of ubuntu desktop. Is that possible as it has graphics too. Or a way to convert the pdf with graphics to some compatible format to be viewed in ubuntu server command line.
ext4
mhr, if you cannot extract the text and pictures, the answer is no
pdf2txt
mhr, print the pdf
hey can anyone help me? just got a 4 channel usb relay from ebay  and i can connect to it with gtkterm, but thats gui, i want to be  able to control it from command line, sudo -l /dev/ttyUSB0 -s 9600  returns that the line is in use, however gtkterm works  perfectly....any help?
cihhan: See the second to last question / answer @ http://www.linuxatemyram.com/ .
I saw it, thanks a lot :)
PDF in terminals: use the pdftohtml command, open the resulting file in the terminal.
correction the command was "sudo cu -l..."
DaemonicApathy: Then you can use "e4defrag", but note that 1: ext4 filesystems rarely fragment enough for defrag to be worth the time 2: Fragmentation matters much less on SSDs than on spinning disks (though it does still matter some, for different reasons)
or can anyone point me into another direction for help?
I'm aware, Jordan_U. I was just curious about there actually being a way to defrag ext4. Thanks.
DaemonicApathy: You're welcome.

Hey guys, I have a Drupal LAMP stack on a Ubuntu 12.04LTS VPS.  My hosting provider is going out of business and I need to migrate this system to a new hosting provider I recently purchased space from.   What would be the best way for me to backup & migrate this Ubuntu 12.04LTS system?
hey
SpecialEd: This may help: http://drupal.org/node/1819704
hello DaemonicApathy
Hello, Guest75047.
DaemonicApathy, nano or vi is displaying the html code not the actual file
DaemonicApathy: thanks but I was hoping for more of an OS layer to handle this as I have more than just the /var/www/ path to move.  Is there like a block level backup and restore tool for Ubuntu 12.04LTS?  Something similar in Windoze to what I hope to achieve would be using VSS.
mhr: Sorry about that, I completely forgot about lynx - the web browser for CLI. I don't usually use terminals for PDFs/HTML.
SpecialEd: No idea, I would probably use ssh. I doubt that's the best choice, though.
SSH?
well of course I'm connecting via SSH, lol.  I'm talking about backing up and migrating a Ubuntu 12.04LTS x64 OS - not how to access it :)
SpecialEd: Probably my own tired brain working against me, but I meant using scp to copy everything over the ssh connection. That's typically how I manage my (tiny) server machine.
ahhh! OK
rsync maybe, too
DaemonicApathy: Thank you so much! You lit a spark in my brain with using FXP transfer mode :)
*tips hat*
rsync would work but having a GUI to compare file/folder structure would be nice:)
not sure if rsync would capture a live database too well, i'll probably do Rsync to start, then manual verify with FXP Transfer, then export/import the MySQL database :)
isn't that kind of what filezilla does (not a server expert, don't bite me :o )

I want to stream video from ubuntu on my android device.. I installed SAMBA

stream video from your ubuntu machine to your android.
yeah dude
I wanna stream in my LAN
samba isn't for streaming, it's a filesharing utility.

can android access upnp shares?.. you could use dlna
vlc doesn't stream, it plays

Hi, I was wondering if it is at all possible to have a private /usr directory?
For example I have a /home/ajc/bin
anjrewchen: private from whom? your home dir is private
Right, but in the sense that packages are normally installed to /usr
Can packages be installed to /home/$USER/usr?
anjrewchen: no, but apps can belong to a specific user
how does that work?
anjrewchen: you could have an app running out of your home dir, i think it would need to be compiled there, not sure though, root would need to be involved

hey guys, I am currently using wmaker and I have a 22'' widescreen with 1920 x 1080. Currently I cannot see all my screen area and when move my mouse close to the borders of the screen, the screen moves up or down. I think there must be some problem with the screen setup. I have tried to change the resolution of the screen like this http://pastebin.com/6VzXEE98 but I end up with a cropped screen. Any ideas??
the screen pans around? thats an old 'feature' of X that would kick in if you had a desktop size defined bigger then the monitor res.
ive not seen that happen in years. :) i couldent even figure out how to force it on with my netbook.
dr_willis, yes the screen pans around. If I setup a lower resolution the screen gets cropped. It is annoying.
dosent happen with other window managers?
dr_willis, i have just this one
test with others?
wmaker is the old WindowMaker right? Its quite.. well.. old skool.
dr_willis, i wanted to keep this system very minimal its a debian netinstal
dr_willis, maybe there is some application that is able to configure the screen
id say test with Fluxbox or Openbox or even JWM. it may be a Window Manager issue. and not an X config issue.
ok
That Panning feature is somthing common years ago. I rarely seen it mentioned these days
ok
if you are on Debian, you really should be asking in #debian also
dr_willis, i asked there as well
dr_willis, 20 min before coming here
dr_willis, so thanks for your help
i am gonna switch to fluxbox now and see what happen

HI all - I run a server on Oneiric; I need to upgrade to OpenJDK 7. I have installed openjdk-7-jdk, openjdk-7-jre-headless and some more openjdk-7* packages without problems. BUT: The alternatives system does not seem to pick up the new java version correctly. When I do "update-alternatives -s java-1.7.0-openjdk", I get this output: http://pastie.org/5386823 . Does anyone has any idea how to do this correctly (nd yes, I know about upda
im on a dual moniotor setup. so i cant even really test/verify the same problem here
dr_willis, if you switch to wmaker does it support the dual monitor?
cantoma:  no idea. Been so long since ive last used wmaker. i would actually be suprised if it did.
ok
i am rebooting X now
mneisen:  im not sure thats the right update-alternatives command. the ubuntu  java wiki page i think gave the commands
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java
IMPORTANT choose the java you installed as default
 $ sudo update-alternatives --config java
i tend to cheat and use the webupd8 scripts/ppa to install java. ;)
dr_willies: Thanks - I will try that! Not sure though about the webupd8 scripts ... :)
they got a ppa/script thing set up to make it easier. Been a while since i last used them
brb
dr_willis: update-alternatives --config java gives me "There is only one alternative in link group java: /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/jre/bin/java Nothing to configure." although the openjdk-7 jvm is in /usr/lib/jvm .
sounds liek it may have not gotten installed correctly
I was just looking at the !java wiki page..  could be somthing got overlooked
heh - even the wiki page mentions the webupd8 ppa.
dr_willis: This is my impression as well. I think the path in /usr/lib/jvm is not correct.
dr_willis: Yes, the wiki mentions webupd8. But I have read nothing about openjdk-7 on their website.
dr_willis: I do not want to run Oracle Java but openjdk.
Hmm..  then you just install the openjdk* packages from the package manager i thought
http://apt.ubuntu.com/p/openjdk-7-jre
http://apt.ubuntu.com/p/icedtea-7-plugin
I dont java much. But  i tend to just use the opdnjdk ones on my machines
sounds like bukkit minecraft server building time
I definatly dont Minecraft. ;) but I do seem to recall Minecraft not likeing the openjdk
it dosent like openjdk 7
that wmaker guy never came back? I was going to tell him wmaker in 12.10 does support multi monitors nicely
;P

DeveDe works well for my needs also.
I just tend to make Cartoon DVDs for the grandkids
yeah its great only reason i even have the others was hopping it would fix the issue but nope
dr_willis: Thanks for link about installing openjdk via the ppa.
dr_willis: I will try that. Thanks!
oprnjdk is in the repos. :) no ppa needed
dr_willis: I got openjdk from the repos ... and it does not work  for me. It does install alright, I can invoke the jvm by calling /usr/lib/jvm/openjdk-7..../java directly, but I cannot set it as my default vm.
dr_willis: This is because openjdk-7 does not corretcly register itself with the alternatives system during installation.
dr_willis, it seems like it is also a problem of fluxbox
weird. Perhaps its time to remove/purge them all and reinstall it. - ive not heard of that issue befor.  this is on 12.10? or 12.04 ?
cantoma:  wmaker in ubuntu works fine with my 2 monitors :)
dr_willis: At least not on my machine. I just checked in /var/lib/dpkg/alternatives/java; the openjdk 7 JVM is not in the alternatives DB.
dr_willis: so naturally update-alternatives --config java will tell me that there is only the Oracle JDK 6 on my machine although OpenJDK 7 is in fact also available.
dr_willis: This is on Oneiric (11.10?).
dr_willis, maybe if I install gnome or kde it solves the problem .. but i was trying to avoid it
mneisen:  11.10? Hmm.. all bets are off then. :) i only use the latest releases - so my info may be incorrect
Hello.
Howdy Furai
I'm proud user of useful dualboot (Windows 7 + Ubuntu) with synced accounts for Firefox, Thunderbird and Pidgin across OSes.
i  have ubuntu 11.10 installed in my laptop , suddenly function of right click through touchpad and external mouse has stopped working, how to resolve it?
coder2:  even in the guest and other user accounts? it affects them all>
That would be unusual.
dr_willis, i have not tried using guest
the 'xev' tool may show if  the system is getting mouse inputs also
looks like ill be loading widowns soon :(
dr_jesus_, do you know where I could find the xorg.conf file. My locate is not able to find it. Or is it a deprecated file? I just want to have a look to see what is the current setup. By the way gdm also suffers from the same problem regarding screen resolution.
dr_willis, 'xev', is there any command ?
dr_willis,
xev is the command....
ok
xev | grep button
then put the pointer in the window and click the buttons
state 0x0, button 3, same_screen YES
is my right mouse button
without the grep - xev can spit out more info then we need. :) to test this
hi! i'm using irssi right now. somebody knows if the screen can be splited? I wanna see the people in one of the sides :)
dr_willis, not working
pichugeddon:  irssi has a split window mode.. but it seems its not real popular/well documeted feature. I seem to recall all the irssi tutorials sort of saying 'this part is complex so we dont cover it here'
coder2:  interesting. you get output for the other buttons but not  the right click button?
pichugeddon: http://quadpoint.org/articles/irssisplit/ though checkout weechat if you want more powerful splitting (vertical splits)
ok, many tks dr_willis. Could you be so nice to tell me another irc client to use under console?
http://quadpoint.org/articles/irssisplit/   written in 2005
jrib, tks
pichugeddon:  i use weechat - it has many nicer features then irssi these days
Why on Earth gnome terminal doesn't support audible bell?
actually I think its xorg settings that disble the ctrl-g bell.
xorg?
i see this asked every so often
I need audible bells for my weechat.
Furai: Please watch your language
Without it my highlight pass unnoticed.
What is wrong with my language?
Weechat... we don't want to know about your scatalogical cybersex
/care
And left.
I get OSD notifications in weechat when someone says my name. ;) a noise would be a bit overkill. but i imagine you could set weechat to play a sound via a command, that would work. vs just a pc spkr beep
Unsuccesful troll is unsuccesful.
http://superuser.com/questions/22767/enable-system-beep-in-ubuntu
I don't like any kinds of OSD...
Lo, is there anyway to automate importing VPN configurations in to the Network Manager gui?  like a way to script it?
half the time people want to kill the beepig dead.. then other half want it back. ;)
I think  the pcspkr module is blacklisted by default that prevents most of the  speaker sounds/beeps that were common a few years back
dr_willis, hey my problem just got solved by logging into test account, i dont know how.
coder2:  the mouse suddendly started working in all accounts now?
yes, i just once switched to guest account then logged back into admin  and problem solved
I just installed Ubuntu 12.10 with gnome-shell and now I'm missing the encryption applet that I used back with gnome2. Is there an applet for gnome3 that does the same?
dr_willis, I'll give a look to OSD notifications.
This script?
http://www.weechat.org/scripts/source/stable/xosdnotify.tcl.html/
im just using one called notify.py
got it via that weeget feature of weechat

2 days befor my b-day and if i had my way bout it we would still be using 10.04
my machine is running 11.10 -- should I upgrade?
Guest3683 try #django ?
pythonirc101: 11.10 is still supported until 13.04 I think, so you can keep it if you like it. If you want more recent features, 12.04 is good and stable (but uses quite a different interface).
blno: http://pbin.be/show/931/ -- any ideas why this would happen?

hello i just install ubuntu today i hate the launchbar in left side i want to remove it plz tell me how?
SouravAJ: what would you prefer instead?
http://pbin.be/show/933/
actually i want ubuntu 9.10 desktop look in 12.10 is it possible?
SouravAJ: I think the best then is to install Xubuntu (the last one) and configure it to look like what you're used to (Gnome 2)
ubottu: i will make user shortly
ok
thanks
SouravAJ: that new interface in Ubuntu is called Unity, and you can't make it look like Gnome 2. XFCE (in Xubuntu) is configurable enough for that, and many people who complained about Unity like XFCE now.
or thers Lubuntu/Lxde for an old skool look
theres also the gnome classic thing.
i love unity on 12.04 but i realy dont like unity on 12.10
dr_willis: I thought the Gnome classic thing was/will be discontinued?
dr_willis: or maybe I'm just mistaking with something else
it will be eventually
Evil_Eric, how it is different?
dr_willis: so maybe it's a better idea to make people switch to something which will be maintained in the future
unity works fine for me in 12.10
Anyone having problems with their wired network connection after a recent update?
DigitalYeti  define "problems"
well
I did an update on the 9th
the only networking related update I could find was libqt4-network
and now my wired network connection says there's no internet
well they added stuff to it and made it all just shiny and pretty its just a personal preferance that i realy dont like it in 12.10 but in 12.04 its all that and bag of cheetoes and i also like win 8 metro also so im a pretty fickle person
but I do have internet with other computers in the house and noone has touched taht machine since the update
ok supposing I had a supported ubuntu release, how do I diagnose firewall problems?
shomon: what firewall do you use? Can you paste its config? What problem do you have?
hiya digiyeti
hey Eric
sounds like you got a bad issue there
Evil_Eric: yeah it sucks... my work machine now has no internet post-update
not sure why
The only network related update was the libqt4-network one
wish i knew how to help you but im still a newbie to all the inner workings of ubuntu
but I can't find anything online regarding that
no worries man
I'm printing from Firefox.  Anyone know why I've got to go through all these gyrations http://www.doopensource.com/applications/getting-from-web-page-to-print-in-firefox/  when someone using the same FF version (16.0.2) on XP gets a nice easy gui to change header and footer content?
i can make it look awesome and stuff though
heh, printers
do people still use those?
does anyone know if it's possible to roll back a specific update in ubuntu?
gordonjcp, haha.  No, we're doing inventory and while I TRIED  VERY HARD to use a scanning gun (for the actual counting) and a smartphone (to look at the list) I've been outvoted and must print count sheets.
DigitalYeti: not supported, but if it's just a couple of packages, you can try... What package?
jrib: libqt4-network... I updated monday and haven't used that machine since, booted today and network manager says no network connection
that was the only network related package updated
btw- it's a dual boot machine, windows gets network just fine, so I know it's not the cable/card
DigitalYeti: on precise?  Anyway, I have to go, but you can do "apt-cache policy PACKAGE", see what versions are available, then install version VERSION with "apt-get install PACKAGE=VERSION".  I would advise you to read the changelog and see what exactly was updated though.  It could be a security fix.  Also, make sure you read what apt wants to do.  If other packages, depend on a specific version, it might
want to remove lots of things
Greetings
jrib: I believe it WAS a security fix from what I see. The problem is that it's SO secure, now I have no internet ;)
haha
anyway thanks for trying!
What is the easiest way to install Windows on another disk and fix GRUB afterwards?
a seperate hard drive? or a seperate partion on the same hd?
sevenforall:  if you install windows on a nother disk then sudo update-grub should pick up the windows mbr
You can have windows totally on HD #1 and linux and grub on hd #2 and windows shouldent touch grub at all. You can then select what HD to boot.
dr_willis: I assumed that last time and that didn't work out too well
the linux hd would have grub that would also let you get to windows. Or  You boot hd #1 and boot to windows directly
I swet up most of my pcs that way. If i remove the linux HD.  dont have to fix the windows mbr.
BluesKaj: How does one run sudo update-grub if Windows won't allow me to get into Ubuntu in the first place?
greetings, I've a fresh install of Ubuntu 12.10 x64, I'm trying to install git. I've apt-get update && upgrade already. However, apt-get install git-core and git both fail (package not available). How should I proceed to install git? Should I add a specific software source?
rzz: That should work out of the box. Could you paste the exact terminal feedback?
rzz: Including your command
sevenforall m because once you update grub then windows will be in the grub menu
BluesKaj: Yes, but how do I update grub?
I mean, I need to get into Ubuntu to do that, which I can't before updating grub. It's a vicious circle, or so it seems.
sevenforall, livecd?
sevenforall:  so you aren't seeing the grub menu , if so try holding the down the left shift key right after the bios screen
craigbass1976: That'll fix grub on another disk as well?
sevenforall: http://pastebin.com/esWbs0Lq , thanks!
rzz: Try running the command as root, 'sudo apt-get install git-core'
Not saying that'll work, but it's worth a shot
sevenforall: I'm already root :)
rzz: I completely missed that part, my bad
sounds like the system is booting the wrong HD.
dr_willis: I'll see how it goes *grabs his W7 disc*
rzz: Other applications are installing just fine?
sevenforall: yup
rzz: Have you tried purging/autoremoving git?
rzz: 'apt-get purge git*' and 'apt-get autoremove git*'
rzz: If you do that, make sure you don't have any other apps starting with 'git-
' installed :P
git-core's last version was in Lucid, iirc...
I've successfully installed git(-core) just yesterday, it should work
Dummy package for precise/quantal?

any hints on how to resolve this, much appreciated, i was thinking wvdial but not really sure?
bkc you going to be around for a bit

Evil_Eric: yes
Pici fair point
ok cause im about to swap over to a difrent linux distro and i wanna use ip tables other than ufw
ritz, could you please clarify what is nm?
ahh, sorry
network manager
network manager lets to create a dialup connection
change mirror did not work bkc_

im on 12.04 now and the distro im leaning towards is ubuntu based
ritz: Not that I'm aware of, sorry.
harovali1, try iptables -t nat -L -n
Evil_Eric: I'm guessing mint? :)
however network manager doesnt see the phone, its bada :(
I stuff up I had backtrack on it for a while.
good guess
_cronus_: thanks

Evil_Eric: Then we can take it too priv or to #mint :)
the hex id is 04e8:6818

chuxxsss: if you edit /etc/apt/sources.list        change:  archive.ubuntu.com     to:   gb.archive.ubuntu.com     save the new file and run:   sudo  apt-get update
fluitfries: I haven't tried it for that. Do you have a feed I can test it on?
can i use sed against a variable?
DaemonicApathy, one sec
fluitfries: lightread.
I'm running 11.04. And now a special update manager is popping up and telling me that I should upgrade, even though I have said I don't want the update manager to pop up. Any way I can force the new "update your ubuntu version" to stop bugging me?
I ran a test on the hard drive supplied in my bios and it said the drive was OK holstein
daschel: is it just the noise?... mine kicks on and off on battery
blackbird34: cool... and the memory?
DaemonicApathy, try this http://feeds.feedburner.com/GVSB
hang on guys let me write all these suggestions down
fluitfries: http://cloudfront.omgubuntu.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/feedindicator-500x308.png     http://code.google.com/p/feedindicator/downloads/detail?name=feedindicator_1.05-1.deb
I will do that now. ActionParsnip
holstein: what do you mean "is it just the noise?" as in, is it just the noise that bothers me?  also, it happens regardless of whether im plugged in or not
i can't find anywhere to test that holstein, my grub is Grub 2.00 beta 4 and can't find memtest in it...
fluitfries: video and audio, no issues.
blackbird34: try reinstalling the memtest package
blackbird34: i boot a live CD... and actual cd.. or a USB stick that i know boots. test an known booting USB stick or cd
DaemonicApathy, ty
Any time.
I need some help with my ChrUbuntu install
rr
Catachan_, what is chrubuntu
blackbird34: check the bios and make sure its configured as expected.. if it wont boot, i realize you are having a hard time doing anything... but, you can take the hard drive out, and see that its not an issue with the installed OS, and move on to the manufacturer
Ubuntu for Chrome Books.
ActionParsnip, DaemonicApathy jpds dr_willis poetonh thanks for the suggestions
Catachan_, is that from google?
Catachan_: i might try http://www.ubuntu.com/download/arm
Catachan_: ubuntu spinoffs are not supported here
I got ChromeOS installed on my UBuntu box. :) as a 'desktop' option. ;)
I belive some of the new Chromebooks are not ARM based also.
Catachan_: that'll cause an error... trying arm if you dont need arm
holstein: arm is groovy :)
holstein: don't have any of the tools for that, but the BIOS ought to be ok, when i boot from my hard drive it gets past the BIOS, past the GRUB menu, and then gives me the "kernel panic - not syncing: out of memory and no killable processes" message.
How can I back up my current kernel image if I am going to try a newer one?
Hello
holstein: what do you mean "is it just the noise?" as in, is it just the noise that bothers me?  also, it happens regardless of whether im plugged in or not
Does the Ubutu 11.10 installer support the Dell PERC 6/i raid controller ?
blackbird34: i would just rule out terms like "ought" and just actually test firmly as much as possible.. i would try booting an earlier kernel from grub
thesadmafioso: no need, just install the other kenrnel, the newer kernel doesn't overwrite the old, it is installed side-by-side
Haris: Oneiric doesn't have a great deal of time left compared to Precise. Why not install the LTS?
daschel: im just sharing the case on my machine in which i notice the fan.. and yes, by noise i mean noise.. like the noise you hear.. or is it the performance? what is the issue?
ActionParsnip: Ok thank you
thesadmafioso: if the kernel is no good, hold SHIFT at boot and select the original kernel
Isn't the precise package linux-image-current-generic supposed to point to kernel v 3.5 that was released with quantal?
ActionParsnip: If it turns at all is ok is there any need to remove the older kernel?
blackbird34: ^^ hold shift as ActionParsnip is suggesting to see an earlier kernel
STAT SOUND DOSN'T
stat sound doesn't
start sound doesn't
it helps if you type in complete sentences
cindirella: i'll assume that is "the startup sound doesnt sound"... do you have any sound?
it doesn't work anymore, how to pristine
or, how to install quantal's kernel in precise?
metaphysician: i would try just grabbing the .deb's and expect problems
thesadmafioso: you can if you want, your call
holstein:  it comes on needlessly.  aside from the seemingly random intervals it comes on, it also kicks on when i do just about anything: open an application, open a browser tab, switch windows.  and when it runs, it runs for about the same amount of time regardless of what i do(i.e. switching browser tabs runs the fan for just as long as opening a movie)
metaphysician: its not advised or supoprted
cindirella: you mean, pristine as a verb? can i help you find a loco channel?
metaphysician, never mix between versions
ActionParsnip: All right, as always you've been helpful.
bazhang: holstein why doesn't precise's linux-image-current-generic point to the quantal's kernel?
is it possible to disable USB charging on Ubuntu ?
daschel: well, it's coming on assmingly as-needed... you want the fan to not come on? or just stay on? i might try some live cd's to see how other kernels work with the system
Night-hacks: AFAIK, that is hardware based
I have laptops that charge over usb even when they are powered off.  ;)
holstein: It's OS responsibility !?
dr_willis: i have seen that as well.. its odd
makes a handy cell phone charger ;)
Night-hacks: No, it's not -- the USB port is powered, so the power obviously goes into whatever you put in there
Night-hacks:   the port will always kick 5v down the port, so that new devices plugged in get power
Night-hacks: im saying, im pretty certain if you had no hard drive in that machine, started it up, and plugged a USB device in, it'll charge, and i dont think you can "switch" that off
Night-hacks: its part of the whole plug-and-play
bazhang: ok. won't mix versions. but was curious since the package's description says it will depend on the latest released kernel upto 14.04.
So it's related to BIOS stuff
Night-hacks: sure, the BIOS sets up the hardware
Thanks for help
Ubunut 12.10 uses LightDM or GDM?
designbybeck: lightdm by default.
Night-hacks: its related to hardware.. not even bios im thinking.. the port just sends it
thank you theadmin
holstein: yes it's like disabling webcam from bios
Night-hacks: i dont think you can.. try it.. im pretty certain you disable the usb port, and the usb devices wont show, but they will charge
cant say ive had a laptop with a disable webcam option in the bios.. i needed that for my last laptop with a broke webcam
There was a setting to turn on/off that 'alwayus powered usb port;
holstein: no need to be condescending.  it's ok to say you dont know the answer.
Night-hacks: The question has nothing to do with Ubuntu anyway, try ##hardware
daschel: cool.. i mean no harm, and literally just want to know if you'd like the fan on or off... what would "fix" this for you... i'll defer to one of the other volunteers :) good luck!
theadmin: I'm using Ubuntu !
Night-hacks: Right, uh, "my air conditioner broke. I'm using Ubuntu so help me fix it" <- That's pretty much what you're asking :P
Night-hacks: No offense meant
Night-hacks: Your issue is a hardware issue (not even a driver issue), so ##hardware is the place
theadmin: ok, got the point
Night-hacks: Still though, why don't you want your USB devices to charge? It's a useful feature
Night-hacks: can you disable the webcam in bios?
theadmin: i configured USB, reverse tethering to avoid battery draining for wifi
ActionParsnip:  yes
Night-hacks, some machines can disable usb port power. http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/debian-26/power-off-usb-509328/
hi again holstein i've just tried a different kernel, same result. I'm also waitng for Unetbootin to finish doing me a new LIveUSB image.
not all chipsets can
Night-hacks: Right... That'll avoid battery draining. You can charge *and* use reverse tethering, or no?
Night-hacks: does that not achieve the goal?
blackbird34: i would try any kerenels.. have you changed any hardware? added? removed?
No
theadmin: it would affect battery on long term
ActionParsnip: nothing to do with USB charging there
OerHeks: thanks
Night-hacks: the webcam is attached to the USB bus
holstein: BUt i had several kernels for my Fuduntu, Linux Mint and UBuntu installs, no success yet
ActionParsnip: have to check that to make sure, you're right
Night-hacks: lsusb    will show the camera
blackbird34: if every OS and live CD is failing, i would look at the hardware
blackbird34: how does it not work?
how come xchat doesn't open links with single click?  i always have to right-click and "open in browser"  :(
When I boot from my hard drive, i get a "kernel panic - not syncing: out of memory and no killable processes" message. See also http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2084744
fluitfries: under what release?
ello ello
ive never seen xchat open links with a single click.
ActionParsnip, 2.8.8 lubuntu 64 latest updates installed.
ActionParsnip, xchat 2.8.8
blackbird34: "out of memory". Do you have enough RAM? Is your RAM working?
Anyone have a dump of glxinfo from Mesa 9.0 that is from swrast or gallium3D "drivers"?
fluitfries: any bugs reported?
blackness, right-click on my trackpad is a bit of a pain...
ActionParsnip, i'll take a look
fluitfries: what is the output of:  lsb_release -sc
yes i know..i use it too.
* Evil_Eric waves in actionparsnips general direction 
ActionParsnip, precise
12.04 :P
fluitfries, you can set it up in Settings > Advanced > URL Handlers under Xchat
I did a startup test under "system diagnostics" in my BIOS tools, and says all my 2GB of RAM are fine, I don't get it theadmin
that doesnt change the URL behaviour |Slacker|
blackbird34: Hm, odd enough. How did you make the Ubuntu liveusb?
lili
blackness, |Slacker|, it might work, because here it is saying "opera" not chromium
Open Link in Opera: !opera -remote 'openURL(%s)'
With Unetbootin, as usual, on my other computer that runs Ubuntu 12.04 like this one
then I single click and Opera opens the link
opera is the default browser for xchat
blackbird34: There's your problem, unetbootin doesn't work half the time
blackbird34, to make a bootable usb drive the easier, install usb-creator-gtk/kde
Hello everyone, I'm running Ubuntu 12.04 with Unity and each time when I log in, after about 20 seconds, a window appears "enter password for keyring 'default' to unlock". Is there perhaps a way to automatically remember that password ?
blackness, didn't know that :p
blackbird34: do: sudo dd if=/somewhere/ubuntu-12.04.1-desktop-i386.iso of=/dev/sdb # Where /somewhere is the directory where the ISO resides and /dev/sdb is your USB stick. Note: use the whole drive (sdb) not the partition (sdb1)
|Slacker|, i replaced opera with "chromium" but it still does not work.  :(
Hi
what you need to twiddle with is..sec
And what is that 'default' keyring ? If I cancel the window without password, I can still use the computer without any problems ... ?
vic501: one way is to set a blank password for the keyring
vic501: have tried to cancel it? :)
also what ActionParsnip said :)
vic501: its what stores your passwords from yourbrowser and nautilus for remote file systems and so forth
"/set gui_url_mod 0-4" not sure if you have to reload xchat for it to take effect
ActionParsnip: so just esc when the window appears ? For remote file systems you say, so I don't need that for 'normal use' ?
fluitfries, Dang! I thought it would work. But I had no idea Opera was default for xchat :(
gui_url_mod set this to 0, and it should make clickable links.
fluitfries, it is an security for not opening url's unwanted, to avoid that, hold CTRL and you can click the url without right mouse etc
found @ http://xchat.org/faq/#q221
vic501: go to security in dash and set the password as nothing, you will need your current password to then set it
fluitfries, http://forum.xchat.org/viewtopic.php?t=1966 read this.
OerHeks, YAY!  you got it.  thanks.
OerHeks, thats a keybinding, setting gui_url_mod to 0 should create clickable links.
ActionParsnip: okay, that's easy enough. Thanks a lot.
blackness, indeed, that is mentioned there also
vic501: its not hugely secure but its your call
blackness, that's ok tho, i can handle pressing ctrl...  much easier than my right-click
theadmin: just typed in the command, is it normal for it to not give any comments while it's working?
i wouldnt want links opened when clicked once..lil unsafe.
blackbird34: Yes, it will take a while, after that it'll come out with *something* like 100500+0 records in, 100500+0 records out, 700MB written
blackness, yea, i see the sense in that.
i think i might try setting up wordpress :P
blackbird34: Can't remember the exact numbers it gives
theadmin: ok thanks then i'll go and do some washing :)
you can check the status of dd if you want with kill
ActionParnsip: Perhaps it's better to just close the window with esc then ?
killall -USR1 dd
just curios for those that upgraded to 12.10 how's it compare to LTS 12.04?
shows you the progress of dd.
lind, i like 12.10
hi
except that audacious doesnt work anymore..BUT i got mpd+hotkeys working so im okay with this.
lind: its not bad, there are some nice bells and whistles
ActionParsnip, what bells an whistles?
lind: It's basically the same with some nice polish, and amazon enabled results in the HUD by default
hey
lind: blackness: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M3IpXE2bYv0
cool I'm thinking whether to upgrade or not
i tried to install skype on my amd64 ubuntu
great, amazon loves getting involved with everything eh
but it failed with this error : wrong platform architecture
ActionParsnip, youtube is blocked ATM.
Feliwir: That will work if you're on multiarch, which you don't seem to be on
eventhough i use the newest multiarch package
Feliwir: what is the output of:   lsb_release -sc
Feliwir, then dont use a 32bit package..
Feliwir: You need a more recent Ubuntu version probably?
i use ubuntu 12.10
blackness: Skype is 32-bit only
Feliwir: Oh, okay, um... Odd.
Should just work
blackness: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2012/09/ubuntu-12-10-beta-2-released
i was in the german irc channel
blackness: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=what%27s+new+in+quantal    is all I did
but they didnt know what to do
i dont like those auto search things..
Feliwir: can you give the output of the command I gave please
the first URL maybe a joke or outdated :/
blackness: its not an 'autosearch thing'
is it like lmgtfy with a default return of a hit %?
yeah wait a second
blackness: how can it be outdated when Quantal was only released a couple of months ago?
i wish they enabled a tickbox that allows you to disable amazon...
quantal
blackness: so all links will be that old
is the output
ActionParsnip, depends change, packages change, methods get outdated..
I do recall some box to disable amazon. but it disables other things as well.
blackness: It's not a tickbox, but they added the ability to disable it. I don't know it off the top of my head but it's easily googled
my method for cleaning up apt-get, is outdated on 11.10 but on 10.04 its a commonly used method :/
Feliwir: wget -O skype.deb http://www.skype.com/intl/en-gb/get-skype/on-your-computer/linux/downloading.ubuntu64; sudo dpkg -i ./skype.deb; sudo apt-get -f install
i want to try some lab programs, so how can i turn my ubuntu into a local server?
sweet bazhang
see above blackness sorry black
blackness: the links given will still only be as old as quantal, so how are they outdated when Quantal is so young?
james_bhat:  that makes no sence.. You install a service.. its a server
james_bhat: What kind of server?
i seen it bazhang
ActionParsnip, that URL isnt a guide :P its a discussion of 12.10.
blackness: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=what%27s+new+in+quantal+%21recent    newest at the top
will symbolic links made on linux on an ntfs-3g partition work on windows?
blackness: (one reason why duckduckgo is more flexible than google) :)
you cant make symboic links on a ntfs last i checked...
yes you can
how so?
the ntfs-3g website says that symbolic links made on windows can be used on linix, but doesn't mention vice versa
*linux
blackness: can you search google and ask for the newest sites found to be at the top?
kevin89: server to run perl, php programs
NTFS has its own link type feature. but they are not symbolic links
ActionParsip: i've done what you pasted
uhm, dont know ActionParsnip
Sazpaimon: you can symlink to a NTFS partition from Linux
i filter my results by eye :P
blackness: duckduckgo can :)
and google has, best result percent.
james_bhat: You can technically just install perl/php on the machine and then it would technically be a server
blackness: why bother when the site does it for you :)
ActionParsnip, yes, I know you can make symbolic links on linux on an ntfs-3g partition
most recent is Oct 23rd.
for google.
blackness: it also has a tonne of other features. I rarely use google search nowadays, its too restrictive imho
my question is, will those links be translated to NTFS links so they can be seen on windows
blackness: ddg has that too, or you can tweak the results
Sazpaimon: NTFS has symlink support as a filesystem, so yes
ActionParsnip, this set by an account? or cookie-settings?
yes, NTFS has symlink support, but I was just asking if ntfs-3g translates between linux symlinks and ntfs symlinks
anyone have experience building android from source on ubuntu?
blackness: its set by what you put in the search box
since they're not the same thing
also, same goes for junction points
Sazpaimon: they will be different
kevin89: i have to write a php and html program, need to create a database server, store and retrieve some sample data in it
it just translated a ln -s into a link here. ;)
dr_willis, oh great, so ntfs-3g seamlessly works like that
that's all I needed to know
biggest issue ive had with NTFS is wonky characters in filenames...
Sazpaimon:  all i did was to go a ntfs and make a link. :) so it worked.
ill play with duckduckgo
dr_willis, yeah, but will that link work when you load the drive in windows?
Sazpaimon:  try it and see. im not rebooting into windows to find out at this time
Anyone got any openbox tweaks they use? or bashrc tweaks?
I'll try it once I figure out why ubuntu's menu bar is not showing on my desktop
blackness:  theres dozens of sites with bash config tools and examples.
my guess is that it's because of the experimental nvidia drivers
dr_willis, i know..all of them show pointless functions.
blackness:  check out the 'bash prompt howto' if you want to play with some fun stuff
blackness: try:     !ppa firefox       and    !yt ubuntu        a searches :)
dr_willis: "wonky characters in filenames" is resolved by mounting with iocharset=utf8,codepage=1251 or such
theadmin:  problem is  that windows  is the one im getting the names from. :) I have to go to linux to fix them.
dr_willis: Oh... Hamsters.
theadmin:  ;) still not sure why windows can make the file.. then hate the name
strangely, NTFS directory mounts (made with the mountvol tool on windows), show up in ntfs-3g as /mnt/drv/.NTFS-3g/{drive_guid} or something
hi, I was wondering why I get different numbers for total security updates when using apt-check and apt-get in this fashion: http://pastie.org/5387885 ?
Youtube videos with Jappense charcters (i think) from youtube downloaders. and some LONG LONG names used in some comic book files was my issues. I think the use of ' also confused them
Welp, time to work on my openbox setup :)
and the directory mount is shown as a symlink to that directory
I need to track down a script that goes down a directory tree and discovers potentially bad filenames and correts them
what is a badfilename?
Id have to track one down. but i had about 30 comic book cbr files that windows hated. I had to go to linux to rename them, then windows let me manage them
Not sure if it was use of ( ) - , ' or other special characters - or just the huge nested directory structure
the 'qmv' tool was handy in fixing them up
does ubuntu have drivers to use a touch screen tablet/pc?
blackness: Sure does
dr_willis, ive never seen special chars break on windows when i used it
blackness: Depends on how special they are, try using \ in a filename with Windows :P
well duh, \ isnt special..its unique.
:)
blackness: depends on the hardware
theadmin: even creating the Live USB with dd, following your instructions, I got a similar message to what you said and it didn't boot either, same "kernel panic - not syncing: out of memory and no killable processes" message.
ActionParsnip, my aim is AcerW500 tablet
blackness: some work, some need a lot of work, some just don't work
blackness: let me search
which is the best SIP software for Ubuntu 10.04?
Preferable to have the function "hide number"!
dr_willis: i want to use my system as a server, like apache..
james_bhat, so install apache nginx or lighttpd and serve it ;)
ONLY SIP!
blackness: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W6T8ZQ-r1O4&feature=youtube_gdata      someone has it working here
you love youtube dont you? :P
mens: "best" will be a matter of opinion. i would probably search a package manager and try a few that meet your needs
blackness: its just what comes up. Seems to work OOTB
OOTB = out of the box?
blackness: yes
blackness: multitouch needs some compiling but it seems to just roll
blackness: the vid states that this is needed for multitouch (if it multitouch is something you need): http://lii-enac.fr/en/architecture/linux-input/multitouch-ubuntu-howto.html
blackness: may just work in Precise, the page was posted prior to Precise's release
how do i check how many bytes my private/public key is?

hey all; on quantal, im having difficulty installing libavcodec-extra-53 and libavcodec-dev at the same time ... is there something im missing?
what problems gnutun ? use pastebin for 4+ lines
klj613: http://superuser.com/questions/139310/how-can-i-tell-how-many-bits-my-ssh-key-is might help
gnutun, they are held back?
dsd
<holstein> Does have SFLphone hide number function?
<holstein> I do not see this information on the official site
<holstein> http://sflphone.org/
mens: i would see if there is a contact form.. or just install and test.. i usually just test and see for myself in those cases
oh wow, you can drag the colours in guake's config to the colour settings for text etc. That's sexy :D
bazhang, http://pastebin.com/ixen4Vx8
bazhang, i dont believe i'm holding anything back
bazhang, whenever i attempt to install one, it uninstalls the other
sounds like a conflict issue..lemme see if i got these installed
gnutun, they are different packages
bazhang, i understand that libavcodec-53 and libavcodec-extra-53 both provide libavcodec shared libs, with extra providing "non-free" codecs
bazhang, but i need the header files installed as well, which are only in the dev package
libavcodec53 is what will be installed gnutun
gnutun, so does ubuntu-restricted-package
<holstein> An analogue of Phoner for ubuntu there? I need a program that hides no SIP. phone. No time to test the software!
bazhang, i understand that the packages libavcodec53 and libavcodec-extra-53 conflict with each other, since they both provide libavcodec.so.53 with different compilation options
bazhang, the problem is that i cant have the dev package installed with the extra library package
there isn't a libavcodec-extra-53-dev?
gnutun, I just faced the same issue
WarOfTheNerd, no, unfortunately not
7 packages were held back, including those two gnutun
in previous versions of ubuntu, i *believe* i could have the regular dev package and the extra lib package installed simultaneously
let me check ...
bazhang, yes, on my lucid machine, libavcodec-dev and libavcodec-extra-52 are installed simultaneously
gnutun, I'm on 12.10 so no idea about that sorry
is there an easy way to identify what module is responsible for an interface as defined by 'ifconfig'?
can't wait for Lucid to go EOL
archangelpetro: sudo lshw -C network
ty acrocity
ActionParsnip, *
bazhang, i'm just saying that this is broken on quantal, but not on previous ubuntu releases
bazhang, i'll report it as a packaging bug and see what happens
archangelpetro: look for the driver= bit and the wlan0, eth0 etc
what version is lucid?
10.04
lemme check my servers for 10.04 real quick
nope. i got 11.10 and 8.04 and 12.10
blackness, could you try installing libavcodec-dev and libavcodec-extra-53 on 11.10 oneiric?
blackness: Hardy (8.04) server is EOL in April next year, may want to plan an upgrade soon
on my hp .. power button -> suspend does not do anything.. but the ``suspend'' from system setting icon on top right corner works perfect .. what gives?
hp laptop
hp laptop 6730b
axisys: if you run:    xev    does the button make an event?
ActionParsnip, i dont want to upgrade my 8.04. i NEVER have problems with it.
blackness: you don't have to, youo just won't get any support of any kind anywhere for it
axisys, what window mgr?
unity
blackness: ^
ActionParsnip: let me check
ActionParsnip, i know, i have to build patches for security holes.
axisys, are you using any special key binder? *xbindkeys* for example?
ActionParsnip: xev shows events
ActionParsnip: PropertyNotify event, serial 42, synthetic NO, window 0x4c00001, atom 0x150 (_NET_WM_STATE), time 358712091, state PropertyNewValue
Hello. I have a cluster of 1U ubuntu servers that keep going into a hung state.  No numlock response, no VGA, etc.  How can I make ubuntu server not hang automatically?
ActionParsnip: button works.. it pops the window.. then selecting suspend does show even in xev .. but does not suspend
blackness: no
axisys: yes, the xev doesn't make the button work
axisys: it just shows that it IS sending a signal to the OS, which is the hard part done.
Hello. Anyone here using jabber.org with empathy ? I've been having "self signed" certificate warnings for a month now, and I wonder if it's coming form the server or empathy itself. It's behaving weirdly.
 what does it do instead of suspending?
axisys, you might need to checkout the !shortcut command, or look into xbindkeys..but i wouldnt use that with unity. maybe openbox, xfce and matching other WM
dr_willis: it gets locked up.
bazhang, it actually appears to be a bug with libavutil-dev's deps, which is new in quantal; i'll submit a bug
ActionParsnip: right.. so when I click the suspend from the pop up window I do see event/signal on xev
blackness: yep looking
dr_willis: the only thing I can get it to do is to power off by holding the power button down
gnutun, good to know. thanks very much for that
ActionParsnip: thanks for the shortcut
sounds like we are looking at the wrong area then. :) the button is telling the os to suspend.. its trying.. and failing.
but the other methos may be telling it to hibernate not suspend perhaps?
dr_willis: I have to hold the power button down until it turns off hard.
basically the same thing as pulling the physcal plug
its crashing/locking up.. so that makes sence.
axisys: you can use the commands in ccsm to set the key to something, or keytouch
right, exactly
so the button is not the issue. ;)
I want to make them not do that anymore
Right, its not the button
jgspratt, was all these servers built out of a lot of hardware?
I am concerned with ubuntu, which is why I didn't go to #power_button
yes, they were built out of hardware, lots of it
the lot numbers on each piece of hardware, do they match?
ActionParsnip: ok.. I am realizing we are talking about key shortcuts.. but I dont think that is the problem I am describing.. let me explain
these are all identical machines.
ActionParsnip: when I hit the power button I do get the usual Suspend/Restart/Cancel/Shutdown window
lot number, they are located on a sticker, or mfg date on the actual device, example: memory sticks have them on the side..
ActionParsnip: so button works fine
SuperMicro H8SGL-F, AMD Opteron 6128 8 Core
i built 4 machines with matching lot numbers, all of them experienced failing ram around the same time.
ActionParsnip: then with mouse I click suspend.. nothing happens.. if I click cancel or shutdown with the mouse it does cancel or it does shutdown
oh, no, some are from different lots. the ones that are failing, well, hard to say
they are all white box.
and if you used matching lot number hardware, you may have a piece failing causing a hangup..disks going out can do this exact behavior.
so the Suspend probably is not calling the suspend
ActionParsnip: ^
I don't want the suspend to happen
jgspratt, install a new drive to one of them, and see if you can get this one to crash..
this is a server cluster that never needs to suspend. they live in a datacenter far away from me usually
what logs can I check first?
uhm, log/messages log/dmesg*
we are trying to run an important production thing on them and they only seem to crash after 12 hours
or more
axisys: yes, you need to tell the OS that when it gets that signal it needs to suspend
axisys: the key is making a signal, the oS doesn't know what to do with it so nothing happens
thing is, they were logging all night long it seems.  until at about an hour before I got on site
axisys: that has been my point the entire time
hello, in my /var/lib/dpkg/status appears to be a package that doesn't really exist
jgspratt, only time ive seen this was failed hw..or a poorly written script left to run
I can't find anything when I google it
that's bad news. what would I do to check that the hardware failed?
you can test the hardware.
there is no /var/log/messages.  what's the alternative?
not sure of the exact command line tools..but if you got remote X/VNC use gparted.
it gives back an error at this point when I try to update
so I need to fix the Suspend signal that generates by clicking on the Suspend button of the popup windowi with mouse ..
ActionParsnip: ^
what error deepm?
use pastebin for 4+ lines deepm
blackness: I'm getting a log of "21.560052] w83795 0-002f: Failed to read from register 0x089, err -5"
ActionParsnip: let me scroll back and reread your suggestions
Reading package lists... Error!
E: Malformed status line, no 2nd word
E: Error occurred while processing loaales (UsePackage3)
E: Problem with MergeList /var/lib/dpkg/status
E: The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened.
axisys: you need to use ccsm or keytouch so that when you press the key it runs:  pm-suspend
jgspratt, sounds like something is breaking..
deepm: wget https://dl.dropbox.com/u/8850924/fixpackage; chmod +x ./fixpackage; sudo ./fixpackage
deepm, your dpkg status file looks borked.
what can I do?
fixpackage to the rescue!
deepm: use that big command I gave
blackness: what kind of thing?
thanks
what are those registeres do you think?
jgspratt, sudo lshw, and check your hardware for known issues..then test accordly
is that RAM? or processor registers?
they could be ANYTHING..
lemme google.
cash registers?
what ubuntu version we working with?
hi everyone
except the hate ball
blackness: Linux sn06-ny2 2.6.38-11-generic #50-Ubuntu SMP Mon Sep 12 21:17:25 UTC 2011 x86_64

..who hates me :)
thats a old kernel :P
Ubuntu 11.04
jgspratt: natty is EOL
can you upgrade from 11.04 to 11.10?
hi guys
i need some help pls
ouch wrong channel ,so sorry
kaneshiro: state your issue on one line and we'll try
The problem's on line 42.
running 12.10
i'm behind a firewall ... company
ActionParsnip: in case you are curious all these signals generates when I click the suspend key.. http://dpaste.com/832121/
kaneshiro: please hit ENTER less
jgspratt, i only got two results, both claim MSIC Intel driver notations.
getting failure with apt-get update
10:55:26 < ActionParsnip> axisys: you need to use ccsm or keytouch so that when  you press the key it runs:  pm-suspend
ActionParsnip: ^ I never press the suspend key
ActionParsnip: rather click the suspend key
blackness: lshw: http://hastebin.com/qamajohoto.sm
i can access it thru browswer .... i've put in proxy via termain export
axisys: where is the 'suspend key'?
terminal*
ActionParsnip: my laptop does not have touch screen
axisys: I thought you had a little hard button on the system that was suposed to invoke suspend...?
jgspratt, is there a PCI line to match that error -5 line?
axisys: is that right?
ActionParsnip: http://picpaste.com/suspend-F7QTixpY.png
ActionParsnip: that window pops up when I hit the hard power button
axisys: ok and you want that to stop?
blackness: which part of the error should I search for?  I'm looking...
after attaching a secondary monitor, my synaptics touchpad has slow vertical movement, but fast horizontal movement
ActionParsnip: I want it suspend when I mouse over to Suspend and click it
how can I fix this?
Because right now, it's completely unusable
axisys: you can set the actions of the OS when you press power button in the power options
ActionParsnip: I like the choice
anything before the line, or after the line that would referr to a irq or pci id
ActionParsnip: it used to work with ubunut 11.10
axisys: then you are getting a choice, when the window comes up....
axisys: you have thrown in so many things to this it isn't making any sense now
ActionParsnip: yes.. button works.. mouse click on suspend does not
axisys: ahh so the cog menu doesn't suspend when you click it?
ActionParsnip: you got it!
axisys: yay
it looks like the system is scaling the touchpad speed to the dimensions of the virtual screen
ActionParsnip: educate me the right way to describe this.. apologize for confusion
so if I have my two screens side by side, the touchpad makes the horizontal acceleration as it would be for a very wide display
blackness: dmesg: http://hastebin.com/pixiqoqola.coffee
I don't want this, can I make it work like how it does for a single display?
blackness: (and thanks for all your help! much appreciated!)
axisys: "I cannot suspend from the option under the cog menu but when I press my power button and click suspend it is ok"
ActionParsnip:
ActionParsnip: whats cog ?
axisys: the menu in the top right of the screen.
ActionParsnip: then you reveresed it .. :P
axisys: ahhh, so the power button susped fails but selecting the menu and clicking suspend is ok?
axisys: from the power button is ok.
suspend from cog menu works.. but when I press power button and click suspend it does not work
kaneshiro: sup?
ActionParsnip: the command ended after some time with an error
axisys: are there any bugs reported?
blackness: do you know what err -5 is?  google gives a bunch for err -6, which is related to fans maybe
deepm: what is the error?
ActionParsnip: I am unable to apt-get, i get 404 error. Under a firewall, but i am able to hit it via browser. I've put in the proxy via terminal (export) and thru network settings, hence why i can get their via browser

ActionParsnip: ^ not sure if that is relevant
ActionParsnip: I use unity
if err -6 is fans, you could have a fan issue..i know if the CPU fan fails, the system shuts down on some systems
axisys: sounds like a permissions thing to me
like my server, if i manually stop the fan for 2 seconds, the system shuts down
ActionParsnip: hmm.. after ubuntu upgrade to 12.04 it stopped working
now I am 12.10 and still no wrking
ActionParsnip: ^
blackness: I don't have -6 though. I have -5. much rarer.  The fans are going. I can hear them.
ActionParsnip: what is cog abbreviated for? will help to remember
if you can hear them, then you have VGA access yes?
its a gear - a gear is also called a cog. ;)
or a sprocket
ActionParsnip: :( ur too busy
ActionParsnip: sorry the error is even bigger and it contains the old one:

i take it X isnt installed either?
oh damn.
ActionParsnip: did you see my issue?
i was going to suggest to run gparted.
well, when I reboot I can get access
I'm sshed in now
ActionParsnip: apparently its very common,. but i'm like brain dead..i jus need a second pair of eyes
i strongly suggest a drive swap and let that machine run for a week..and see if it crashes.
if not then i'd suspect HW failure..
any other logs to check for what might have happened last night?
let me check.
Hello, I'm seeing a weird thing with my 12.04 installation all of a sudden. about half the time the mouse registers a doubleclick even if I just want to click once. It's an optical mouse, and I'm pretty sure my fingers aren't shaking.
kaneshiro: did you configure the proxy in /etc/apt/apt.conf
is pm-powersaved enabled?
i did
ActionParsnip: I did,
in pastebin also: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1362923/
ActionParsnip: just Http:proxy
is all the services configured ? i cant find any special logs for this.
ActionParsnip: ^
what are all the services?
I have several services.
you can try testdisk...
well you have 10TB on this one machine, so i assume there is a ftpd in play here?
we don't use ftp on here
this is a hadoop cluster
Mouse clicks are no longer registered. Is there a way to fix that without restarting?
try testdisk.. check your hardware, if you can determine the hardware is good..then you can look elsewhere.
three of the cluster members locked up some time last night and had to be powercycled
you're thinking hard disk problem?
how often does this happen?
i just had this problem..
so far twice
my system randomly locked up..i replaced my system drive, and no problems since.
ok, thanks.
mine happened at random, you can check mount..
how to check it specifically?
make a script have it exec every X minutes to log the mount output, that will tell you if a drive was remounted in RO mode due to errors
what do you mean?
cool, good plan!
will do!
i think dmesg command mentions if a drive gets remounted also
dr_willis, not if its remounted, and the system hangs..
kaneshiro:set ftp proxy too
if he uses a log, with a timestamp, he can then determine if its at a certian time, example 11PM nightly this happens, or 11PM wed nightly..and so on and go from there.
ActionParsnip: posted the issue in mailing list
ActionParsnip: thanks for your help
ActionParsnip: hardest part was describing the problem right :-)
axisys: half my fault probably
Hi all
blackness: what else would you recommend logging?
Anybody know how to fix mouse-issues with wine and unity?
along with mount, a who to see whos logged in at the time.
ActionParsnip: nah..
if you REALLY wanna get crazy, install a bash with the bofh patch..
that way you can see if some dumbass user is causing a lockup via command.
ActionParsnip: although I still like to know why does it call ``cog'' ..
oh. I don't think we have that problem, but maybe worth a shot
you'd be surprised.
ActionParsnip: ok
yeah. true. how to see who's logged in?
via ssh: who or w
that shows you whos connected VIA ssh..
axisys: thats how I'd reference it
w is more details then who
*/5 * * * * mount >> ~/logfile; w >> ~/logfile; date >> ~/logfile
that would be a decent way to begin.
ActionParsnip: oh ok.. that icon is a wheel sign and hence cog.. thansk to define: cog in google .. hehe

Hello, any news related to gwibber and facebook integration on Ubuntu 12.04? Authorize the acces, and next thing is a blank page where is written "success" but there's no facebook feeds
I never learend to read

ok
u only learned to wrote :))
ndiswrapper is not working
heh
Deivid: s/wrote/write/ ;)
Kiranvotio: how uncommon ^.^
jgspratt: fail2ban might be a good idea on a amchine with a public access
Kiranvotio: what wifi chip are you using?
braodcom
very not public
should work OTB :/
jgspratt: your users are not. your open ports are.
in 12.04 10.04 i installed using ndiswrapper it aint flagged any problems
but now ti dsiplays ndiswrapper module is not installed
having a open port scanned shouldnt cause this, unless the open port has a remote ddns exploit
hi
which will render a system in locked state
Kiranvotio: there is an online and an offline guide, it won't work OOTB due to firmware
i have installed lighttpd on a ubuntu box, but unable access phpmyadmin, get a 404
please help
sh3ll3r, did you install the php-cgi for lighttpd?
yes dude
if it cant see the index.php it will report 404 since its stuck on index.html
did you apply the changes to the .conf?
nop
then there you go ;)
i m not sure how to do that
thank you Actionparsnip ubottu
moment.
go to helll bkc_
Kiranvotio: what? :/
sh3ll3r, http://blackness.sytes.net:81/paste/index.php?show=13
just use proper driver and not that ndiscrasher thingie :/
ok, yeah I cannot use this anymore, switching back to windows for now
ew windows
blackness, at least the touchpad will move the mouse consistently in windows
I can't find any setting that will fix my mouse movement in ubuntu when using dual monitors
let me google for you
ive already looked around, I found a bug related to this that was marked as fixed in Oneric
Sazpaimon: what's the problem? :)
oh
why do i have no su and who does have it from me?
NaNo_JunK:  clarify what you mean
sudu su gives you root
bkc_, when using dual-monitors, my touchpad will move the mouse inconsistently vertically and horizontally
su rights
it does?
yes
you DONT want to use 'sudo su' to get to root
 blackness never suggest that here
ok thankss
use sudo -s
for example, if the I have two displays side-by-side, the horizontal speed is fast, but the vertical speed is very slow
Sazpaimon: aah, that's a common driver-issue actually :) there are multiple hacks around for it thou :)
ty a loy
lot
bkc_, link to said hack(s) please?
thats the only way to get hardware working
Sazpaimon: It has to do with the aspect-ratio on screen vs touchpad :)
dr_willis, that doesnt explain why sudo su is bad..but ill use sudu -s
Sazpaimon: lemme google around a bit and I'll get back to you :)
bkc_, yeah clearly the touchpad sees both displays as one long display and is compensating for that
blackness:  its redundant and may not give you the proper enviroment
please am running ubuntu as a guest on a vm and windows 7 as the host but my ubuntu is very slow, what can i do
1 gb memory enough if i do more it get;s worse
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo    <------ blackness have a read
Sazpaimon: actually it _isn't_ compensating, and that's what creates the error :) what laptop model is it that you have? :)
blackness, never suggest sudo su in this channel. please read the link fully.
bkc_, MSI GT780
some good info at -->  http://ubuntu-tutorials.com/2008/05/09/a-root-shell-on-ubuntu-the-right-way/
blackness: yes it does .. here is a sample ref link: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1598418
rhythombox is not loading the music files /// i need to add individual track to add to it
?
on a semi-related note, circular scrolling seems less useful on ubuntu than it does in windows
like, the angle by which I need to spin my finger seems greater than windows, no matter how low I set the delta setting to
Sazpaimon: I think that's actually directly related to previously said problem :)
in windows, I can spin my finger in a very small circle to scroll up and down. Here, I need to practically spin the entire width of the touchpad
bkc_, iirc it happens on a single monitor too
Sazpaimon: and a possible solution is to install the driver from Oneiric (http://packages.ubuntu.com/oneiric/amd64/xserver-xorg-input-synaptics/download)
Sazpaimon: yes :)
dr_willis: sudo -i you mean? (:

please am running ubuntu as a guest on a vm and windows 7 as the host but my ubuntu is very slow, what can i do
 Error Is ( Warning: cannot open /proc/net/dev (No such file or directory). Limited output. ) alot of these lines then i get my ips
bkc_, so you're saying this was fixed in oneric, and it's a regression, or that it was always working and then broken post-oneric
babyswizz:  use a light desktop. or just a window manager
Hey guys, I need help installing ubuntu from live usb to a hdd that I have plugged in via usb
bkc_, the oneric driver has dependencies that don't exist in quantal, can I safely install those from oneric as well?
Flyzoola:  should work. You just need to be sure grub is installing its bootloader to the USB if you plan on booting from it
use USB Startup disk creator Flyzoola
specifically, xorg-input-abi-12 and libutouch-grail1
Flyzoola:  that is how you do a 'full' normal install to usb.
Flyzoola:  the various usb creator tools do a live-cd type install
Hello everyone. I'm using empathy 3.6 under Quantal. When using my jabber.org account empathy is giving me a "Certificate self-signed" error. Jabber.org had some issues with their certs, but it's fixed now and other IM clients work fine. Any suggestions ?
Gimmie a sec
DANYAL: ifconfig | awk '/Bcast/{gsub(/.*:/,"",$2);print$2}'
Sazpaimon: No idea, I'd create a backup and try it :)
and actually, I can't install xorg-input-abi-12 because it's a virtual package provided by xserver-xorg-core
Sazpaimon: otherwise you can read this: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Asus_Zenbook_UX31E#ReubenBond
how to get the traditional gnome desktop ??
so the only way to fix this is to downgrade my xserver to oneric's
I really don't think that would be a good idea
Kiranvotio, install gnome-panel
dr willis, i dont understand what you mean by light desktop or windows manager
Kiranvotio:  of course the classic gnome fallback is due to be removed  in the next release most likely.  (or some timne in the future)
Kiranvotio: install gnome-panel   and log off, log in to the new session
babyswizz:  lubutun-desktop, or just a window manager like openbox
so then I guess I cannot install this driver on quantal
llutz same error dude :(
i suggest openbox :P
so gnome  will be  compeltely removed from the ubuntu ?
blackness: a DE is useful for new users :)
DE?
DANYAL: what error?
Kiranvotio:  the gnome fallback mode - is being phased out -  gnome-shell will be whats left or unity
DE=Desktop Enviroment
blackness: desktop environment
oh
blackness: I suggest i3wm ;)
you mean a fake windows enviroment?
blackness: just running a WM could be a bit daunting :)
MATE, n't? or openbox+gnome-panel?
blackness: no, the WM runs on top of the DE, So you can run Gnome desktop with Compiz as the WM
mate is not supported by this channel.
i havnt liked anything since i used blackbox...cept for openbox
ActionParsnip: that is actually backwards :)
dr willis, is the lubuntu desktop an entirely different os from ubuntu?
bkc_: how so?
babyswizz:  no.. its a desktop enviroment you can install.
ActionParsnip: DE runs in the WM :)
llutz same error which is showed above
babyswizz: no its just a different set of apps and desktop and window manager
babyswizz:  it does have its own install media if you want to just install lubuntu directly
bkc_: I see, thanks :)
DE = WM+Filemanager   by my definiation. ;)
dr_willis: etc.etc.etc. ;)
Dont make me start up with the Building a House Analogies. ;)
Start with the roof.
dr, willis, can i use the sudo apt-get command to install it from terminal?
ok guys, so I need help installing Ubuntu on an external HDD via Ubuntu live usb. Is there a simple way to do this?
DANYAL: sry haven't seen that error-line.  redirect "2>/dev/null"
babyswizz:  yes - theres several desktops enviroemtns you can install
babyswizz:  and a dozen+ wndow managers
Flyzoola: It's just like a normal install, except you select the external drive during setup.
hi all
llutz then?
what can i do?
Flyzoola:  like DaemonicApathy  said.. just pay attention to where grub is installing to.
DaemonicApathy, when I got to step 4 of the installation, it only showed me my internal hdd
You most likely do NOT want gryb on your internal HD if you are installing to USB
babyswizz: also for us geeks there's MYO-WM :) (Make Your Own Window Manager)
bkc_, yeah I can't install this driver on quantal, it's dependency hell
Flyzoola:  you will need to partion manually i belive
guess I'm going back to windows until this is fixed, then
dr_willis but I dont want to partition my internal hdd
Sazpaimon: everything outside the repo is dependency hell.
Flyzoola:  partion your EXTERNAL hard drive
dr_willis I just want to install ubuntu on an external hdd, which detected by the live usb, but not as an installable drive on my computer
bkc_, yeah, but this driver basically requires virtual packages that no longer exist in quantal
Sazpaimon: one way of speeding up the process is to help out in debugging the driver, I'm sure the guys working on it can patch up a deb-file for you if you ask them nicely :)
i see that in gkrellm theres a big activity in network tab, but im not transfering any file, how can i see which file is triggering that network traffic?
Flyzoola:  i use the manuial partioning feature of the installer and define / and .home and swap to be on the external drive and it works fine
Sazpaimon: I was talking about this driver: https://github.com/saaros/sentelic
simplew, which version of ubuntu
dr_willis is there a guide on this? I don't wanna mess it up
hello my nvidia property drivers for 550 ti crashed unity
Flyzoola: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QdQ520dmg5g
dr, willis, can i have both open box and lubuntu on my vm?
bkc_, my touchpad isn't a sentelic, it's a synaptics
Sazpaimon: you sure? o.O
yes, I'm sure
bazhang: 12.10
Flyzoola:  no idea. I just follow the exact same method i do for installing to internal drives.. I never use the automated partioning features. I always partion the drives beforhand
Sazpaimon: I'll search some more then :)
babyswizz:  yes.. and a dozen more...
xinput list says "SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad"
bazhang: i have both, 12.10 and raring, now im runing quantal
Hey guys I cant for the life of my get this USB stick install to work. Ive obviously done something to the USB and messed it up(cause I imaged my laptop with it). Ive tried creating the USB live stick on windows an ubuntu nothing(always missing operating system).
bkc_, am new to linux and i can make my own windows manager just yet
dr_willis the thing is I'm not very good at Linux, I usually just pop in the CD and clean install. Hence why I need someone to "explain it like I'm 5"
hey how can i revert back to opensource drivers with terminal
Flyzoola:  unplug the internal hds - leave only the external usb plugged in.. :) is one way
hi, how can I redirect all the traffic to an ip to localhost? I've tried editing etc/hosts but it didnt work
babyswizz: It's about 50 lines of code or so :)
only about*
wollowizard: iptables :)
@ ubuntuhelp _ : u can use LinuxLive USB Creator for windows its very useful
Flyzoola: the youtube link I gave you is a step-by-step walkthrough for you.
5 mintues.
DaemonicApathy thanks a load!
np
Linux on a stick is pretty good too
BlackH3Ar7: trying that now.
Ive used all the recommended ones... even the startup disc maker in ubuntu...
Sazpaimon: the common "hack" is to just change the sensitivity to be non-linear between X and Y-axis'... but that seems like a bad hack :/
how can i revert back to nouveau with terminal
I've tried route add -host address/32 gw localhost but it doesnt work.. should i restart the net?
@ubuntuhelp_ : try that
Flyzoola: pay particular attention to the part about the bootloader.
@ubuntuhelp_ : it works for sure
bkc_, then I would need to change it every time i connect/disconnect my display
What will I get, if I install the following from the repos ?
This is a transitional package, replacing the OpenOffice.org packaging with the LibreOffice packaging.
hmm..
BlackH3Ar7: "sudo apt-get purge nvidia-current" "sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-nouveau" also read this :) http://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/UbuntuPackages
Hello everyone. Where should I save a full backup of my home directory, ready to be uploaded offsite? I guess using my own home directory wouldn't work?
Sazpaimon: indeed... Like I said, a "bad hack" :(
dr willis, i just tried installing lubuntu and am getting some errors
koichirose: /tmp
bkc_, I've tried route add -host address/32 gw localhost but it doesnt work.. should i restart the net?
guess I'll stick with windows until this is fixed
BlackH3Ar7: more /etc/X11/xorg.conf to xorg.conf.disabled, then restart Xorg "might" revert to nouveau
BlackH3Ar7: s/more/move/
BlackH3Ar7: :http://d.pr/i/DMWs
llutz: that is obviously correct, don't know why it didn't come to mind. thanks
Sazpaimon: however, one could create a script that polls for xrandr-events and change it there, but it's still a fugly hack :/
thanx for help guys
quick question - anyone done any static maping of nfs in v4?
DaemonicApathy, will this also work on 10.04?
koichirose: you always can use some dir inside $HOME and just exclude it from backup
babyswizz:  may be easier to just go get the lubuntu iso and install from that
llutz: i'll go read the tar manpage for that
thank you
Flyzoola: It should be similar enough.
thanks I'm gonna try it out

I tried to make my own distro using Ubuntu Builder, I got the ISO, but when I tried to boot from it I got this: http://www.pasteall.org/pic/40500
Hey guys I cant for the life of my get this USB stick install to work. Ive obviously done something to the USB and messed it up(cause I imaged my laptop with it). Ive tried creating the USB live stick on windows an ubuntu nothing(always missing operating system). Ive manually set boot flags everything bleh.
"missing operating system" usb install
ubuntuhelp_:  do you have another USB you can try?
designbybeck: Nope or I would.. Though I know this one worked.. I just installed my laptop with it(but then I used the stick to install chromebookos).
my own distro ubuntu-Denis Popov?
Got to be something I can do to fix it.. its got all its space etc.. files are there just the MBR or something is off.
jrib, you mean, for the whole address?
javierf_: sure
salut
hi, does anyone knows how can i make nut shutdown at a lower battery precentage because my setup shutsdown at 30%?
@ubuntu u try to format whole drive
I have a question - was anyone hanging around in here in 2006? :D
need some help.... i need a top firewall for ubuntu, one that will even erase the data on my hard drive if tappered with
hey guys, i can't enable the proprietary driver on my hybrid amd notebook
someone who can speak french.
@yaokobr did u tried bumblebee
jrib, great, it worked :) Thanks a lot!!!
so Im trying to grep for a file which has both strings " dbfiles "   and " format_id " .. how do?
delinquentme: grep string1 FILES | grep string2
I think i need a regex that I can put between the words which will be a multiple character wildcard
jrib, !
i need a top firewall for ubuntu, one that will even erase the data on my hard drive if tappered with
Djveteran876_: that sounds a little silly
ok.merci
Djveteran876_: you have a firewall already, iptables.
delinquentme: no, no regex
jrib, i like your solution :D
hella mush
Djveteran876_: you can use tripwire to watch data and watch for changes
Djveteran876_: you don't need a firewall, unless you're running a server connected directly to the Internet
Djveteran876_: and you most likely don't need a firewall even then
@ActionParsnip  ok senario, working on a project  that i dont want to get released, so i want a firewall that if someone try to access my laptop, it will wipe the hard drive
Djveteran876_: then you need to setup iptables
hello, can someone install the new skype on ubuntu x64 ? http://www.skype.com/intl/en/get-skype/on-your-computer/linux/ .
hi, so does anyone an idea which package contains the ncurses manpages?
there are like doc pages for the haskell and ada bindings but i can't find the c ones?

pauser: wget -O skype.deb wget http://www.skype.com/go/getskype-linux-ubuntu-64; sudo dpkg -i ./skype.deb; sudo apt-get -f install
pauser: what can be simpler?
Djveteran876_: so your project is so important, that you are willing to risk it beeing deleted if seen, but not important enough that you want to keep it safe from being deleted?
ActionParsnip: I downloaded it but could not install because of some problems but let me try that thiw -f
pauser: the client is 32bit even in the 64bit deb, you need a whole bunch of 32bit deps to make it run
64bit uses the 32bit libs its not 32bit
gnome 2 coming back in ubuntu :O

haha

lol

.xchat2/budus.so
pauser: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1363091/
pauser: like I said, the 64bit is a 32bit binary, that's why when you install it you need the 32bit deps.
Guest57399, is trying to infect us lol xD
pauser: 64bit skype isn't really 64bit
but i tried the 32bit one also
pauser: but you seem to know betterthan the files in the packages from the skpe site
pauser: the packages differe ny the fact that the 64bit one tells the OS to pull in the 32bit deps, the binary is exactly the same
i did not say any thing than, except that it did not work for me
pauser: then why say 'it's not 32bit' when it so clearly is?
pauser: you can even check it yourself
i mean , after you sent me the paste :D
ActionParsnip: i liked your skype is 32bit prof pastebin myself :)
pauser: so why try and tell me something I know to be fact is wrong?
pauser: can you give a pastebin of:  lsb_release -a; uname -a; dpkg -l | grep skype          Thanks
hi there, is anyone experiened in compiling the kernel from scratch for ubuntu? I am using 12.04 64bit with btrfs but I have some ubstantial problems, henc eI need to upgrade the kernel to last version.
ActionParsnip: skype                                           4.0.0.8-1
pauser: run the whole command, pastebin the text
hi, my xubuntu 12.10 system just froze and i had to hard reset, why, and where can i report this?
http://xdcc_100
giovanni_: not even funny
ActionParsnip: dafuq ? http://paste.ubuntu.com/1363105/
pauser: sudo apt-get --purge remove skype; sudo apt-get --purge autoremove
ActionParsnip: why remove ?
ActionParsnip: I have already seen the doc, but I am missing this bit: I need to compile the kernel which is in 12:10 to .... downgrade it to 12:04 .... I have never done that. Is that feasible?
pauser: wget http://www.skype.com/go/getskype-linux-ubuntu-64; sudo dpkg -i ./getskype-linux-ubuntu-64; sudo apt-get -f install
ct529: sure, you are just using different source code.
and run also sudo apt-get install sni-qt:i386
to restore the skype icon in the panel
ActionParsnip: thank you :D
ActionParsnip: I do not understand .... that would not make it compatible with the 12.04, because the patches are different .... or am I wrong?
pauser: can you answer my previous question please
ActionParsnip: witch one ?
ct529: you will be compiling the kernel in the 12.04 environment so should be ok. We cannot support kernels not from the repos here
ah
(17:36:15) ActionParsnip: pauser: so why try and tell me something I know to be fact is wrong?
http://paste.ubuntu.com/1363119/
ActionParsnip: just "apt-get purge smthng"             it's shorter
llutz: true, its an old habit
I have problems with updating to ubuntu 11.04 I do not know why
ActionParsnip: yes, I know, but really do see another solution  .... I think  you suggested to me the other day that recompiling was the better solution ....
ActionParsnip: ok, no probl. with that, you were right :D
ct529: there are PPAs you could use, they will gel better with the package system, again not supported here
ActionParsnip: oh no, it was Jordan_U
my computer is trying to get information from a webpage that doesnt compute
yxkvast: what application is it?
you have completely lost me here, what is not supported again, the PPA or the package system?
ct529: if the kernel is not the packaged one from the Ubuntu official repos, its not supported.
application ?
ActionParsnip: I do have a problem with my ubuntu, my wireless is over usb connected(in main board) , and when i activate the wireless it slows me the mouse down. do you have maybe any idea of what could be the probl. ?
pauser: do you have the latest BIOS?
ActionParsnip: oh yes I know that ....
ActionParsnip: no, but it worked well before a update 2 weeks ago
every single time I have ever installed .debs made for Kubuntu, it has ALWAYS screwed up my Ubuntu OS to the extent of needing re-installation, so I ask, is it or is it not safe to install Ubuntu .debs made for Ubuntu 12.04, on Ubuntu 10.04?
RJ45: no
pauser: maybe its an issue with the new kernel. Do you have multiple kernels installed?
RJ45: (the real answer is "it depends")
ActionParsnip: yes i do have multiple kernels installed
jrib: how dangerous?, I mean, I've done it before, with success, and other times I've needed to re-format and re-install, I wanna use 12.04 Audacity on 10.04, would that be safe?
RJ45: most likely it wouldn't pass the dependency checks.
RJ45: I think you've already answered your own question.  Anyway, my advice would be that if you want 12.04 software, use 12.04...
RJ45, NEVER mix versions
bazhang: +1
SwedeMike: I downloaded the .debs, it has had no problems so far, I just wanna be sure before I reboot, so I know whever or not to go into Synaptic and un-install.
pauser: try  one, see if its ok
RJ45: why is that you don't just upgrade to 12.04?
jrib:, I hate all Ubuntu versions before and after 10.04, I have only ever felt 'at home' with 10.04.
10.04 is just about obsolete
you should upgrade to 12.04
Hello everyone!
RJ45: 10.04 support will end in april, I'd start thinking about the future
10.04 sucks so bad, BUT, the 10.04.4 has A LOT of bug fixes, and it's beautiful!
I'm having the problem "gpg: BAD signature from "Ubuntu Archive Automatic Signing Key <ftpmaster@ubuntu.com>"" when performing a do-release-upgrade on a lucid server. Anyone got an url to a quick fix?
hi, my xubuntu 12.10 system just froze and i had to hard reset, why, and where can i report this?
I'm not going anywhere away from 10.04 EVER, it's like Windows users who see Vista and wanna stay with XP, there are reasons.
What exactly does it meaning when I do and apt-get upgrade and it tells me that some packages are being kept back?
RJ45: but 10.04 will no longer be support in april... it won't be safe to continue to use i
sargennto: probably you have a kernel upgrade.  Do "apt-get dist-upgrade"
RJ45: <OT> fyi, debian stable "squeeze" is what 10.04 was based off of, and still has more then a year of support for sure.  zombie-supported gnome2 ;)
RJ45: there are no reasons
I'm gonna try installing Audacity 12.04 on 10.04, wish me luck, any sujestions that might help if it's becomes un-rebootable?
jrib: that is what i thought.. the 3 packages start with linux-
sargennto: yes
RJ45: what are your reasons for never upgrading?
sargennto: the way kernel upgrades work, the metapackage for your kernel will change dependencies (to the package for the newer kernel version).  Apt-get won't install things because of changed upgrades with a "upgrade", only with a "dist-upgrade"
RJ45, yes. prepare for full reinstall
RJ45: what dependencies do you need to upgrade to do that?
sargennto: same reasons why Windows users didn't wanna upgrade from XP to Vista; EVERYTHING!
RJ45: might be easier to just build it from source
ActionParsnip: it is not the kernels fault
RJ45: i just apt-get install it
jrib: okay. thanks for clarifying for me :)
in my opinion Ubuntu 12.04 is like an abortion that went wrong somewhere, please go back to having EVERYTHING like Ubuntu 10.04.4!!!
10.04 is horrible
it's like something from the 1980s
RJ45: you can download 10.04 and just not update it, ever.. or troubleshoot your issues
gordonjcp: correct-ish, but 10.04.4 on the other hand rocks!
RJ45: but, that's just my opinion
RJ45, thats enough
12.04lts it's god on earth
holstein: "and just not update it" terrible idea - no security updates
RJ45: no, it's horrible, I couldn't wait to get rid of 10.04
gordonjcp: ur clueless.
lets move on please
zykotick9: if RJ45 wants 10.04, he can have it that way.. ubuntu will not freeze at 10.04
RJ45: There are distros with gnome2 like behavior, why stick on unsuported distro Ubuntu? Or use debian squeeze (stable).
zykotick9: it's not like linux is unsafe anyway
oh, he ragequitted
date command does not accept dates before 1902 and after 2037, the fuck?
Calinou: no great loss
Sysaxed: are you using 32bit OS ;)
Hm, my syslog service seems to be completely fubared and I really have no idea on how to fix it. Could someone help me out?
zykotick9, yes, but so what?
lol Sysaxed
guys when i close my lid and open it the screen stays dark i have to go to tty1 and killall slock. then the window show
Sysaxed, no cursing here
I know it is fubared, because for the past three days, my /var/log/syslog has been a files size of 20, and it is currently at 0.
This happened after updating from 12.04 to 12.10.
Sysaxed: the unix epoch timer limits how many dates can be in the calendar.  another reason to use 64bit os.
zykotick9, any alternative for dates over 2037?
Sysaxed: the best alternative is to use a 64-bit OS
Sysaxed: yes, use a 64bit os ;)
are you kidding me? Installing 64bit os just for one command?
Sysaxed: it's started to become an issue for mortgage calculations.
maybe python can go over 2037?
please who knows if lxde is a leight weight desktop
babyswizz, it is.
babyswizz: the "l" is light
babyswizz: it doesn't take up a lot of memory, but it's not fast
gordonjcp, what do you mean by "fast" ?
holstein, the l is lxde
Some background information on the problems I am experiencing which lead me to believe that syslog is broken can be found here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2084781
guys when i close my lid and open it the screen stays dark i have to go to tty1 and killall slock. then the window show. any ideas???
Sysaxed: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Year_2038_problem
bazhang, so in your opiniong L in LXDE stands for LXDE? Did I get you right? :D
gordonjcp, i was advised to install it cos my ubuntu vm is running slow, can this really help?
Sysaxed: it's written to take up as little memory as possible, even if this means compromising on speed
The "Lightweight X11 Desktop Environment" is an extremely fast-performing and energy-saving desktop environment.
babyswizz: vm?
babyswizz: could be any number of reasons.  How much memory have you assigned it?  Does the host machine support virtualisation in hardware?  What kind of video does it support
How do I get the latest-latest GeForce and bumblebee drivers for Ubuntu?
does this help https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bumblebee?
gordonjcp, yes vm
Guest79229: That's what I have.
<Sysaxed> are you kidding me? Installing 64bit os just for one command?
gordonjcp, the system memory is 4gband i assigned 1gb to the guest
if your CPU is from > 2005 64 bit is ALWAYS supported
Calinou, I understand, but I do not want to reinstall.
gordonjcp, my system doesnot support virtualization
Calinou, that's why I'm asking if there's any alternative command that can take care of bigger range of dates
Calinou: wrong, i.e. intel atom
Calinou, not always, there are atoms 32 bit and arm
OerHeks: http://ark.intel.com/products/59683/Intel-Atom-Processor-D2700-(1M-Cache-2_13-GHz)
OerHeks: 64bit :)
guys any alternatives to slock??
voldyman_: what does it do?
when every i close my laptops lid and open it the screen stays blank. i have to go to tty1 and do killall slock

hi i have written my own bashrc: does anybody know why the promt dont change $ -> # ??  ( .bashrc: https://gist.github.com/4089540 )
ActionParsnip, dell inspirion. using Xubuntu 12.04
when i change to root
cebor: what is the output of:   echo $PS1
llutz: my atom is 64bit, and i do run it as such - although it's a waste with only 1GB of memory ;)
ActionParsnip, FYI > http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_Atom see D2500 nov 2011
llutz: my atom supports 64 bit...
Sysaxed: there is none
zykotick9: sure but not all atoms are 64bit
ActionParsnip, it turns the screen blank
llutz: most aren't, i'd think
Hi. I am having issues getting the ubuntu live-dvd to boot - likely because of issues with the dvd drive. is there a way to do a "network installation" with a minimal cd or something like that?
cebor: end your PS1 with "\$"
or something like debootstrap?
voldyman_: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dell_Inspiron   Dell inspiron is HUNDREDS of models, which is yours?
ActionParsnip: on root: $: command not found
hi all
hi, i have ubuntu 12.10 installed and its running fallback gnome desktop; How can
how can i launch ubuntu-one,
ActionParsnip, 1525 n series
cebor: run it as your user, what is output?
dooml0rd: from terminal
i've tried ubuntuone-launch from a terminal and it doesn't work
babyswizz: if your system doesn't support virtualisation, anything running in the guest will be painfully slow no matter what you run
i got: PS1$
or rather its now showing anything... is it a demon in the back ground and i just need to ask for UI ?
hi all. just after the upgrade to 12.10 my ubuntu stops working... only a black screen, no splash, nothing
cebor: echo $PS1     not:  echo PS1$
but the livecd works well
(anyway) my xubuntu 12.10 system just froze and i had to hard reset, why, and where can i report this?
mrfree: what video chip do you use?
\[\e]0;\u@\h: \w\a\]\[\e[01;30m\]\A \[\e[01;32m\]\u $(_prompt_virtualenv)\[\e[01;34m\]\w\n\[\e[01;31m\]$\[\e[00m\
ActionParsnip: intel
mrfree: add the boot option:  nomodeset
Calinou: i would try and sort out why it crashed... try tty... check some logs..
hi, which are the default options for chmod on users folder in ubuntu 12.10, "chmod 750"?
is there any way to create a psyBNC in my xubuntu 12.10 Quantal Quetzal

hi which partition to use ext 2 or ext3 or ext4 while installing ubuntu along with win8 and why?
?
quantal :D
geecat: the default is Ext4 by default
ActionParsnip, any ideas??
ActionParsnip: it seems to work... so why the livecd works???
mrfree: no idea, try getting full updates
Is it only possible to launch the ubuntuone ui within unity perhaps
voldyman_: let me search
ActionParsnip, i just installed ubuntu 12.10  along with win8 and selected ext2 now i am getting access denied warning while starting and my cd drive is not working now
n3lthon: 755 is default
ActionParsnip, the only mention of a problem similar to mine is at http://omeganfire.deviantart.com/art/My-Laptop-s-Awesome-WM-Theme-211607943   check the comments
geecat: you can use ext2 if you desire
ActionParsnip, i used ext2 , now my cd drive is not working and alos i am not able to boot in ubunut getting access denied warning
ActionParsnip: unless it's an ssd drive ext2 is a questionable choice.  no journalling.
*ubuntu
cebor: check your  "$(_prompt_virtualenv)", does it exist, what is the output
voldyman_: oh, is it a swithable video chip?
no it does not exists curently
+r
zykotick9: yes, so the wear will be less due to no journal updates
ActionParsnip, no idea. i never has this issue before. it just started a few days ago when i stopped using xscreensaver
ActionParsnip: true.  which is good for ssd drives, but you get a less stable filesystem...
voldyman_: if you run:   lspci | grep -i vga    do you see an Intel and an Nvidia GPU?
jrib: so www-data user for apache can read and execute a folder in /home/user/subfolder ?
zykotick9: true but it can be used :)
ActionParsnip, intel
ActionParsnip: you need "lspci -v | grep -i vga" to see both hybrid cards!  voldyman_
voldyman_: only intel?
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile GM965/GL960 Integrated Graphics Controller (primary) (rev 0c)
ActionParsnip, ^
n3lthon: right
voldyman_: does zykotick9's command give anything different
ActionParsnip, that is the output of zykotick9 's commad

ActionParsnip, first of all i am not using unity, second every thing works great until i close the lid. if from my power manager i choose Do Nothing when the lid is closed, i have no problems

What are the latest drivers for nvidia?
<holstein> Calinou: i would try and sort out why it crashed... try tty... check some logs..
couldn't even switch ttys
everything froze
sound stopped playing, etc
Calinou: i would look at the graphics driver.. hardware.. anything you do to help narrow it down..
not an hardware issue, never happened on windows
did you recently upgrade? have you tried a live CD? a memory test... fsck
Calinou: it could be a hardware support issue.. the fact that windows runs ok tells you the hardware is likely not the issue
hi
hi MrMaDSeN
after creating a user with useradd does the .bash need to be in home folder?
MrMaDSeN: .bash is no usable file nor directory name.
MrMaDSeN: Use .bashrc as file name :)
holstein: graphics issue is VERY likely as I was playing a game when that happened
i reported the bug btw
thnx.. just wanted to know if its needed i.e. when making a new home folder for a website user...
the nvidia drivers are far from stable :)
I guess that means I can delete so users dont watch it if they ftp in
Calinou: it can be challenging since we are not allowed to do much with them.. might want to consider letting nvidia know
Hello. I'm looking for a good software for saving demos on Ubuntu 12.04... Can someone help-me?

hey guys where can i get skype 4.1 64-bit version?
how can i add a menu item to the unity shell app drop down thing?
gandhijee_, what is the problem you are facing?
also i have an issue with mouse, mouse accel setting is constantly being reset
Calinou, "<Calinou> Sysaxed: there is none" well, looks like all I have to do is use any programming language. For example in Java these dates are handled correctly.
Is there a Chinese #ubuntu?  I can't find the channel.
carekess, www.skype.com has it I believe
Toa, #ubuntu-cn
trying that..
http://www.skype.com/intl/en/get-skype/on-your-computer/linux/downloading.ubuntu64 ... i open this and it starts the download for 32-bit version...any1 else seen this problem ?
or did i miss smtn
carekess: are you sure they have a 64bit version?
bazhang, Thanks
there should be a 64-bit version i think
carekess: if they don't have one, the 32bit should work fine with multi-arch
Pidgin has voice/video chat, too
yeah but software center cant install it :)
carekess: what ubuntu version?
12.10 64-bit
carekess: output of: dpkg --print-foreign-architectures
jrib: nothing comes out
carekess: wait, is skype no longer in the partner repos (I'm reading ubottu's wiki link)
nope apt-get cant install it
carekess: did you enable the partner repository?
sec
carekess: never mind, I just checked and I don't see a quantal package there.  Would you like to enable multi-arch?
i just want to install skype, i guess yes
carekess: let me double check the skype site for you before we do so then.
yeah i think the skype site the same file if i click on the 32-bit version or the multi-arch version
jrib, ^
bazhang: so that's available on quantal?
jrib, thats odd, that it would say oneiric

can someone help me with applying the information on http://developer.ubuntu.com/packaging/html/packaging-new-software.html to packaging my own program into a package?
my grub does not show any list at boot up
what could be the problem
nvidia-current, 295.40, 3.2.0-32-generic, x86_64: installed
morphias: you need to ask a specific question, but #ubuntu-packaging is more appropriate
oh ok.  ill hop overthere
nvidia-current-updates, 304.33 etc
he2 ... you need to press left shift at boot time to show the grub list
nvidia-exeperimental 304.48
and keep it pressed till it shows ... :)
Does anyone know why i get the "microcode: failed to load file amd-ucode/microcode_amd.bin" when i try to install ubuntu? what does this error mean?
battlesheep: run: sudo apt-get purge ; on all the versions you don't want, then: sudo apt-get install --reinstall the version you want

angel_, can i change it to show the list by default?
jrib: tnx
battlesheep: you probably want nvidia-current-updates if you aren't sure, since the nvidia-current version was kind of broken, at least on my system
battlesheep: (in 12.04)
thanks trism! it worked!
my x now starts on its own
battlesheep: excellent
thank you very much
hi ... how can i handle users from a central server to few pc's running ubuntu 10.04 ?
guys? any idea what is wrong? spent 2 days trying to install this now
ae pessoal
ae pessoal
tudo bem
any pros around? got some issues with installation here
does any body know why the cmd "who am i" gives me ":0.0"   as connection ???  and not ":0" this only happens when i start mei terminal via "strg+alt+t" ???
its confusing me...
are the mactel-support repos down?
Craksy: Specifically?
looks like ntfs-3g sadly does not convert linux symbolic links into windows symbolic links :(
hello, all. I have problem... I messed up with xrandr and somewhere along the process, my system fonts become too small... i think 6px... Is there a way to revert it back???
does xrandr change fonts?
im using lubuntu btw
i dont know...
i don't think it does
it converts them, strangely, into interix links
Zuperman, have you tried relogging, or is the change persistent?
that's strange
DaemonicApathy: i get "microcode: failed to load file amd-ucode/microcode_amd.bin" after a while, and then a black screen
Zuperman: i'd check your font config for LXDE, however that's done
DaemonicApathy:
i havent
i will relog now
good idea :)
Craksy: http://ubuntu.5.n6.nabble.com/AMD-microcode-updates-td362853.html seems to hold the solution (I can't test it, so let me know.)
(I'm a fairly advanced user - ubuntu, debian, arch, RHEL, etc.)  I'm looking to have an *ubuntu system with XFCE, Gnome, and possibly KDE and LXDE.  Which version should I install first?  Should I start with ubuntu, then install the xubuntu-desktop package or whatever's current?
hi, when running apt-get update on a 12.04 machine, I get an error - GPG signatures are invalid. What do I do?
How do I change the default file manager to Thunar?
hume, can you paste the output to http://paste.ubuntu.com ?
please does ubuntu default desktop have any advange over lxde which is lighter
babyswizz: lxde is lighter than Unity.
Overand: I would install the stadard base system and then install the other DE's ontop of that, however there might be good reasons to start with one of the other ubuntu based distro and you would have to look at it on a a case by case basis.
Guest75430: ala xubuntu or such? or one of the more 'out there' ones ala mint?
DaemonicApathy, does unity have any advantage over lighter desktop?
depends what you want, one of the closer distros kbuntu or xubuntu will probably cause less pain than some thing for away like mint
Hello
DaemonicApathy: i get the error during installation.. How am i supposed to install the missing module/ucode/whatever it is complaining about?
How can install "Loard Of Ultima" on ubuntu ?
babyswizz: Some people prefer how everything is laid out, how the Dash helps with searches, etc. It's all personal preference.
Overand: why do you want to install lots of DE's on the same machine?
I can not find it in repository !
babyswizz: the advantage is a fuller experience. In terms of compatibility, will depend on your system. you cant always try a new desktop by going to synaptic and using which ever one you want there are several available
sorry supposed to say "can try"
mah454: Thata browser game. You dont need to install something.
Overand: Why not use VM's to install the base version of each distro instaed, or do a very minimal install and just install the one you will use.
How do I change the default file manager to Thunar?
i forgot my password of the irc
Craksy: I assume you create /lib/firmware/amd-ucode/microcode_amd.bin in the live session, but this isn't my area...
bekks: so , what is this ? http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2012/05/ea-games-arrive-in-the-ubuntu-software-center
can anyone help me to reset it
bekks: i need install it ?
rt_91: ask in #freenode for assistance
mah454: No...? Games for being played in the browser are not to be installed. Think of the zillion games on facebook.
thanks
So I have a user who is added to a group, but for some reason cannot modify any files owned by that group, permissions seem to be set correctly, too. Any suggestions?
join #freenode
 
DaemonicApathy: i know how to burn a disc, and how to choose the boot option... that's pretty much it. I had kinda hoped that would be enough to get linux installed... Guess I'll try the forums then.
Does anyone know how to change the default file manager? They dumbed down nautilus and it doesn't do all it used to do.
good evening
yourfriendisaac: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-replace-nautilus-with-pcman-file-manager-in-ubuntu.html replace pcman with your FM of choice.
DaemonicApathy: Thanks
yourfriendisaac: what do you need to do in nautilus out of curiosity?
right I've just got a Ubuntu VPS and following this guide - http://docs.elgg.org/wiki/Install_Ubuntu - but :~# sudo a2enmod rewrite
sudo: a2enmod: command not found
matthewh3: did you install apache?
yes I followed the guide
please is it possible to make lxde lighter?
matthewh3: also don't use sudo if you're already root...
what command is that?  sorry for being a newb I'm learning :P
jrib: nautilus does not find open all the program choices anymore in open with and there is no way to even browse for a different one
matthewh3: apt-cache just returns the availability of a package
I have a file with a dd dump of an NTFS partition (just the partition, not the whole disk) that I'd like to mount on Ubuntu 12.04. Unfortunately, "mount -o loop image.ntfs /media/NTFS" is giving me a couple error messages, such as "NTFS signature is missing" and "The device '/dev/loop0' doesn't seem to have a valid NTFS." Anyone know how I can do this?
Craksy:  Burning the cd and booting from it might be the most difficult part of installing. I'd go with ubuntu/unity.
I've tried various offset values too, such as 32256 (63 * 512) and 1048576 (2048 * 512), but neither work because there's no partition table here.
http://paste.ubuntu.com/1363356/ don't think apache installed????
yes thats working thanks :D

How can I get my ssh identity to persist across reboots so I dont have to ssh-add every login in Ubuntu 12.04, would prefer a non GUI option as im running LXDE
How would I be able to install a package from a ppa, but a older version of the same package(and name) exists in the main repos?
I'm installing elgg do I need to put it in apache folder ? - http://docs.elgg.org/wiki/Installation
chiggins: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
ekhaat: i got it burned, and it boots alright. I even figured out how to fix a problem, by setting "nomodeset"... I just need to know what to do about the error "microcode: failed to load file amd-ucode/microcode_amd.bin"... any ideas?
xangua: just did that, still got the older version
it's uwsgi, if it matters
Craksy:  Oh, didn't se that part, my bad
help I'm installing elgg - http://docs.elgg.org/wiki/Installation - do I need to put it in Apache???????
ekhaat: btw. i get this error both for the "try ubuntu without installing" and the "install ubuntu" options
Craksy:  Have you tried different distros with same result?
chiggins: i'd matter more if you say what ubuntu version do you use, what ppa are you using, what program version do you have, what version do you want..you know ;)
ekhaat: well, i tried both the 32 and 64 bit versions with the same result. I haven't tried other distros yet. I'm running out of empty disks though.
xangua: ubuntu 12.04.1. ppa:malept/uwsgi. I have uWSGI 1.0.3-debian, I want 1.2.3
and neither the version you want :P
xangua: boo :(
Guess I'm gonna have to just build from source?
please is it possible to make lxde lighter?
babyswizz: nope
run just a window manager
ok
babyswizz: you already said, you're running in a VM on a host machine that doesn't support virtualisation
lubuntu runs fine in vbox here on my windows machine
babyswizz: it will be incredibly slow
gordonjcp, yes
gee how old is that machine? ;)
babyswizz: there is nothing you can do about this
except run it natively
babyswizz: even running a bare console-only system, it will be incredibly slow
babyswizz: whatever the spec you're running the host OS on, divide the clock speed by 20 to get the approximate speed of the VM guest
gordonjcp, i just switched to lxde and the performance has improved greatly
in unity launcher there are disk icons. how can I tell which icon belongs to what device?
I think what I have is a device that is not in fstab ...
babyswzz: try installing "mate" which is a branch of gnome2 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MATE_%28desktop_environment%29
 lightest would be just a window manager like openbox or jwm
dr_willis: that won't make any difference
gordonjcp: What's the problem?
dr_willis, i was told lxde comes with openbox has its default window manager
or course just a single web browser will be using more resources then the desktops ;)
babyswizz:  running JUST openbox would use less resouces.. but it depends on what you are doing with the vm.  Running a browser will be using like 10x the resources your window manager is..
if you got a low end system.. theres no magic to make it faster.
Hi! I have two Drupal sites: one is the main one, the old one build in D5, and another is the main addition made in D7 (with Ubercart)... what's the easiest way of passing the form from D5 to the UC module on D7 site (on a subdomain)? Would something like the module Prepopulate do the trick?

i need help with dd count
need to backup something without backing up unallocated space
how do i determine count?
creating a img?
yes
hm, ive always used tar for a complete backup..
moment
hey
hey rymate1234!
here are the partitions i want to use:
/dev/sdb2        3533228  2497024    856680  75% /media/berryboot
/dev/sdb1          64366    28456     35910  45% /media/05B4-5B09
total size: 8068792320 bytes (8.1 GB)
so use tar to create a archive of it.
varunpriolkar: please paste bin for content related stuff
it will do whats on the slice
much easier to view from there
okay Kart!
aaarrrggg is seems to be a very bad regression https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=845745
well i need to redistribute it as an image..
http://pastebin.com/HW7aTzfZ
varunpriolkar: So what are you trying to do?
hello, need help. running lubuntu 11.10, and dont have xorg.conf (empty). when i try to reconfigure it, i get error message with line: number of detected screens does not match number of detected devices. My card is old, ati 9000 all in wonder
bekks: create an image for raspberry pi
can someone help me???
i need a way to determine "count" for dd
varunpriolkar: Because...? Dont you want to image the whole partitions?
bekks: i do.. but i dont want the unpartitioned space.. i want dd to read only the first x blocks
varunpriolkar: Everything that can be seen in your paste is partitioned.
bekks: nah.. those are just the mounted partitions..
is it possible to replace grub2 with something other?
can someone help me understand what I would have to do to enable apt-get to install updates when I can SSH into the box but cannot get at my repos through the firewall?
I know it should be possible...
varunpriolkar: Then image then - after unmounting them. You'll have no unpartitioned space in your image.
mrfree: Why do you want to?
I'm getting this error when doing an update. How can I fix it? http://pastebin.com/VbZUNC9R
Hey folks, if I set a folder to be owned by the X group, how can I make it so all files or folders created within it in the future retain that group owner as well?
does anyone know why i cant start xbmc full screen on my second monitor
bekks: well i dont think thatll work.. from what i have seen on other forums..
varunpriolkar: All you need in addition is an image of the MBR, too. So basically sdb1, sdb2 and the first 512 bytes of sdb,

bekks: correct...
Jordan_U: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=845745
mrfree: And what makes you think that switching to a different bootloader is required to fix this kernel bug?
bekks, does the first partition start at sector 1?
how can I see ubottu's messageparser settings?
cronus: Not necessarilly.
ot though
bekks, maybe 512 isn't the correct value then

* dr_willis hides from the !list
does anyone know where upstart gets it's settings for the command start mysql/stop mysql?
I did update-rc.d mysql remove
and if i type start mysql it still tries to start it
Teduardo:  upstart uses servicename.conf files in /etc/init/
im not sure that update-rc.d command works with services that are handled totally by upstart
Teduardo: "start servicename" is upstart, "service servicename start" is sysvinit
its a vestage from the old sysv days
Teduardo: update-rc.d is sysvinit
leti0377:  why do you feel the need to do a !list in a support channel?
So is /etc/init/mysql.conf the config file for upstart or for sysvinit?
upstart uses /etc/init
hello, can someone help me with a c++ issue?
Jordan_U: it seems related with grub2 and kernel3.5... 12.10 from livecd works
is there a way to just disable upstart for mysql?
rename the whatever.conf to whatever.dontrun  ;)
but whats the actual problem?
i dont see why you are doing all this song and dance. ;)
because i replaced mysql 5.5 with 5.6.8rc
and upstart isn't using the values from /etc/mysql/my.cnf
mrfree: Have you tried uncommenting "GRUB_TERMINAL=console" in /etc/default/grub and re-running update-grub (as said in that bug report's comments)? If you can't boot at all, you can either run update-grub from a chroot from the LiveCD, or you can temporarily switch to console mode in grub by pressing 'c' to get to the grub menu and running "terminal_output console", then press escape to return to the menu.
like it should be
upstat just starts the service.. thats nothing to do with what config file mysql is using for MySwls settings...
mrfree: s/to get to the grub menu/to get to the grub shell/
Jordan_U: I've tried without success
hello, can someone help me with a c++ issue?
mrfree: What have you tried exactly?
Unless you are thinking upstart is somehow telling it to use some other config
then that upstart.conf file in /etc/init may show what its launching
mrfree: Could you pastebin your /etc/default/grub and your /boot/grub/grub.cfg?
http://upstart.ubuntu.com/cookbook/  best docs for upstart ive found,

Why is my kernel called amd64 when I don't have any hardware from AMD?
Jordan_U: I can otherwise try downgrading kernel to 3.4
gusta715: because it's 64 bit
Or, the distribution maybe.
kukuri: Does AMD mean 64-bit? o_O
gusta715:  becasue amd had 64bit hardware first
intel licensed it from them
or somting like that
anyone know how to create a complete installation of ubuntu off of one's existing installation?
gusta715: AMD came up with the 64 bit standard that most 64 bit hardware is based on, including that which Intel makes.  Hence they are said to be the AMD64 architecture machines.  As most 32 bit machines are Intel x86, which includes the common i386 among others
srj001:  you want an identical clone?
soon amd wont exist and it wont matter
Teduardo: unlikely, if the cease to exist Intel might get broken up in some anti-trust litigation.

ok sorry xD
:P
bulletrulz: How do I exit my IRC client?
bulletrulz: This channel's for support, lets not trick users :)
hi
Can't they rename it to x64? That's more neutral. Or x86-64.
Seeing amd64 everywhere is strange.
its been amd64 for years..
seeing it change would be stranger
and yes some disrto makers do use other names
gusta715: Too late now.  x86-64 exists and is a different standard Intel came up with afterwards, it didn't do so well.  Note though that Intel does the same thing, the i in i386 etc.. is for Intel.
The instruction set is Intel's innovation. So that would make sense.
the 64bit instruction set is amds
hi all, how do i instll wxpytron on 12.04 there doesn't seem to be a package for it or instructions that work i have tried http://onlyopen.wordpress.com/2012/07/04/installing-wxwidgets-and-wxpython-on-ubuntu-or-debian-7-2/
"Intel 64 is Intel's implementation of x86-64. It is used in newer versions of Pentium 4, Celeron D, Xeon and Pentium Dual-Core processors, the Atom D510, N450, N550, N2600 and N2800 and in all versions of the Pentium Extreme Edition, Core 2, Core i7, Core i5, and Core i3 processors."
not really a ubuntu support topic any more...
gusta715: Hmm, where is that quoted from?
is this channel going to be a discussion on processors?
kunji: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amd64
Than why are you asking us :P, also we should probably move to #hardware or some such if we want to continue the conversation.
whoever: "apt-cache search wx"
whoever: Then just "apt-get install <packagename>" as appropriate. It looks like its all in the standard repositories.
whoever: Unless you know what you're doing, adding random repositories is a bad idea.

is there a volume control applet thing that works with ALSA?
when I delete pulseaudio, the volume control stops working
alsamixer
type that in
right
varunpriolkar: yes, I know about alsamixer
that isn't what I asked
use sudo apt-get install alsamixer ;)
lollko: again, that's not what I asked

do you have plugin works with alsamixer?
sorry my english is not good...
you need to make alsa default i guess
is there a command parallel to 'emerge' in gentoo for ubuntu
Sure. "apt-get".
WeThePeople: What exactly are you trying to do?
WeThePeople: normally you'd just install from apt
bekks, see this>>> http://wiki.sabayon.org/index.php?title=Using_the_new_b43_driver

I dont wont windows anymore. so i tried to install it, erasing everything on windows. it says installed when i click on the "install ubuntu" icon, but everytime i boot my computer its like starting fresh. no documents save, wireless settings are deleted etc. help?
beecrofth: just to be sure, did you disable boot from usb?
how do i do that? bios menu?
beecrofth: the easiest way is to disconnect your usb drive ;)
did that! when i boot it boots with just a solid purple screen. no ubuntu logo or anything
I see 10GB free, how do I expand my partition 1 to all that: http://www.pasteall.org/pic/40509
who is using 12.04.1?
beecrofth: how long did you wait before restarting?
a minute or so
designbybeck: ull have to unount it before resizing
*unmount
Deivid: I do
pick up a gparted livecd
but i'm booted into it varunpriolkar
beecrofth: that's enough time i guess
it is a VM
Galvatron
maybe i can boot into another ISO and do it
are u using facebook feed on gwibber?
designbybeck: boot into gparted livecd in the vm and do it..
lollko i updated the drivers , still wont work
Deivid: No
ok
ok varunpriolkar thank you
tks
 cookie1980: what should i do
designbybeck: no problem :)
beecrofth: what hardware do you have?
HP Pavilion something
cookie1980: hp pavilion something
beecrofth: 32 bit processor? or something newer?
hola
cookie 1980: 32 bit!
what image did you copy to your usb drive?
cookie 1980: uhh. whatever the newest one is
i also have Hp pc , seems ubuntu dont like HP
HP G62
ubuntu 12.04 working awesome
so ubuntu DO LIKE hp
i installed a HP with debian today, quite similar
my laptop has a keyboard with a programmable backlight color that's controlled by some userland application in windows
cookie 1980: whats debian? im a n000b
beecrofth: try to download a 32 bit image and start over with it
is there any such alternative for Linux? The laptop is an MSI GT780
cookie 1980: how do i do that?
beecrofth: Debian is the linux distribution that ubuntu is based on.
I'm running Ubuntu 12.04 on an HP laptop. No problems.
beecrofth: try this link http://www.ubuntu.com/pre-download?distro=desktop&bits=32&release=latest
cookie 1980: and download directly to computer? or do i need to create a usb boot drive again?
Why is there no ffmpeg-dev package?
Sazpaimon: do you know what controls the LEDs?
beecrofth: you need to create a new one
I am adding an RDP server to the Ubuntu Single Sign On portal. The one that shows up on the login greeter. Where it says "Server URL", what am I supposed to put? I put the FQDN of my internet-accessible RDP server, but it gets changed to a http://server.domain.com/ URL. What gives?? I tried putting rdp://server.domain.com, but it still gets changed to http:// , and it doesn't work!
Hi everyone, is this the right channel for questions regarding firewalling ubuntu?
user651299: yes
cookie 1980: okay. whats the best software to use to make the boot drive? i tried one yesterday that didnt work (cant remember the name) and ended up using unetbootin
user651299: are you running a server on a machine directly connected to the Internet?
Gordonjcp: brilliant, well here goes...
Hi, my background has been replaced with a black background several times recently. Is this a bug or did I mess something up?
beecrofth: on what OS are you for the moment?
mspencer: is your background on a network or removable drive?
Also, my desktop is still rubbish. Doesn't matter if I create a new user, I still have a "sticky" desktop. The desktop is crashed and any windows I drag across it get painted all over it. I end up where all four of my workspaces show what I had open on workspace1, but all those other workspaces are just "paintings" of workspace 1. I have to cycle through them all to find out which is my actual working browser, and which are just "stuck pa
intings" of my browser. LAME.
cookie 1980: ubuntu. i have another computer running Windows XPthough
beecrofth: are you on ubuntu live? i mean do you use a live cd right now?
varunpriolkar: http://www.pasteall.org/pic/40511 I booted and i'm in gparted, just not sure what to do now?
cookie 1980: i am on ubuntu desktop running from a usb boot drive
gordonjcp: No, it the default background (version is 12.04).
beecrofth: ok, you should download it from your windows computer
no puedo instalar mi tarjeta broadcom en ubuntu  help! XD
cookie 1980: so your suggestion is to just make a brand new boot drive, then using the "Install Ubuntu" desktop icon try to reinstall it?
beecrofth: yes
beecrofth: you should even download a new image
cookie 1980: okay will do. and use unetbootin? is that what u used?
gordonjcp: I came across this question on Ask Ubuntu: http://askubuntu.com/questions/142156/disappearing-background
beecrofth: on http://www.pendrivelinux.com/ you will find a nice tool for windows
gordonjcp: But I'm not sure what exactly causes my background to go black, and it never looks like an maximized app
cookie 1980: when i used that one last, there was no option to create a boot for the current version of ubuntu. and it wouldnt work when i tried to boot the drive
Also, the unity color based on the background has not changed.
mspencer: I have no idea
mspencer: I was just suggesting something that's tripped people up in the past
beecrofth: this one works just fine: http://www.pendrivelinux.com/liveusb-install-live-usb-creator/
Gordonjcp: ...assuming a firewall is configured to deny inbound traffic on all ports, is there any way of communicating with that machine?
cookie 1980: perfect. thats not the one i used before! thanks so much for your help. wish me luck!
beecrofth: good luck! ;)
gordonjcp: Should I report this as a bug?
mspencer: possibly
I need some Ubuntu inspiration. Is anybody doing something truly creative on their Ubuntu box?
user651299: if you deny *all* inbound traffic?  No
user651299: you may as well just unplug the ethernet cable, though
gordonjcp: It just started happening recently, so I don't know if I messed something up.
gordonjcp, No idea
lThess523: what about blender3d, that is creative :)
I've read that if you actually run the LED manager in a windows VM, it will work, so it must not be something very low leve
Sazpaimon: maybe have a look at the output of lsusb

Hi.. 12.04 server. I updated my kernel and was faced with a option screen saying the menu.lst can be modified.  I was offered to leave it alone or choose the package maintainer's version.  Is there anything dangerous about the wrong choice?  Other than booting into the same kernel as before?  For reference: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/ubuntu-63/ubuntu-grub-unchanged-734864/
Also, I never rebooted. I thought I'd ask here first.
I just installed samba but I can't share a folder for read and write, I get "access denied"
I added "security=share" and "guest ok=yes" in /etc/samba/smb.conf
and "service smb restart" after of course
why do I still get access denied?
anybody know which binary file i use with fwcutter for a bcm device
user651299: but if you've blocked all inbound traffic, you won't get responses from the devices you check
WeThePeople: Which chipset do you have exactly?
hello
bekks,4306 r3
is there no "wheel" group for Ubuntu?
altermann: not by default
Gordonjcp: ah, but of course, youre right, i didnt think of that, food for thought, thank you :)
user651299: obviously you'd need to be more specific about what you firewall off
is "adm" its equivalent?
user651299: and of course if you're behind NAT, you don't really need to bother
WeThePeople: http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/b43#supported
Gordonjcp: thank you, i have lots of reading, now. Your help is very much appreciated, bye!
Hello. If I download yellow dog linux for iPad, and link it to the PlayStation will install it?
Honvai  how is your question ubuntu related?
troll you
Honvai, is YLD even available for the Ipad?
where do firmware extracts usually go?
what dir.
i'm pretty sure there's a channel for YLD support
I do not know
Is it possible to use Chrome's PepperFlash plugin on other browsers since it contains the latest flash player?
hello
WeThePeople: /lib/firmware/
WeThePeople: "The standard place where firmware is installed to is /lib/firmware." - From my last link. :)
Also where does Chrome store its plugins like flash?
mikey1234: you can use it in chromium :P http://www.webupd8.org/2012/09/how-to-make-chromium-use-flash-player.html
mikey1234, look in /opt/google/chrome/
depending on the version, there is libflashplugin.so in there somewhere
If you are using chrome, you don't need flash, it has flash.....
One more question: Where do the preferences for chrome reside in? I'm looking for stuff that's found on Windows at /Users/AppData/Google/Chrome/localstate or /Preferences.
ActionParsnip: Thanks for that, I had no idea it had flash.
~/.config/google-chrome/
mikey1234: yes, you don't need any flash packages installed, bliss
mikey1234: btw, chrome is not chromium
ActionParsnip: Fine. That wasn't my question, which was answered already.
Also, thanks ivoq.
you're welcome
mikey1234: if you copy the flash plugin to /usr/lib/chromium-browser/plugins    it will be used by Chromium

Sazzo: that is grub legacy, i'd use the maintainers one then install Grub2 for an easy life
is there an nvidia-smi package in any repos that I can install?
very frustrating
hey guys, having problems (again). I am unable to update my version of 10.04. I am unable to also load any flash content ant this is a clean install of 10.04. **ANOTHER FRESH INSTALL IN NOT AN OPTION BECAUSE I DON'T HAVE A FLOPPY OR CD DRIVE, AND MY BIOS IS TOO OLD TO SUPPORT BOOTING THROUGH USB** So far those have been today's problems :/
vekin: can you give the output of:  apt-cache policy nvidia-smi; sudo apt-get install nvidia-smi; lsb_release -a        Thanks, use a pastebin
ActionParsnip: thats not a real package
ActionParsnip, is there any risk on leaving the original grub alone?  I ask this because this server is 20 miles away.. I took over this role. :)
Flyzoola: Lucid desktop has 6 month support left....
Sorry, just felt that needed to be emphasized since I'm always being told to just "fresh install"
its 12.10 and im using bumblebee-nvidia
Flyzoola: do you have a second PC?
Flyzoola: you can put the drive in another PC, install the the drive then put it back in the original PC
ActionParsnip, No I don't have a second PC.
I just emphasized that a clean install isn't an option...
I literally had to commune 3 hours to get this install, I don't feel like doing that again.
Flyzoola: so you cannot update your OS? Is that the issue?
i made a change to an upstart job's conf file.. however.. a service XXXX restart doesn't reflect the change... is there something else that needs to be done? some update command or other?
Flyzoola: in a clutch you can always just boot a livecd like sysrescuecd directly from grub2
and install the OS that way
Sazzo: you could keep it but it is recommended to move to the newer grub
ActionParsnip, I can't update it, and I can't use flash on either chrome or firefox. As I mentioned I am on a 10 year old pc.
Flyzoola: can you install normal updates?
Veiken, I was told to not use caps on an emphasis on how I can't do a clean install because I don't have a floppy, or disk drive. And my BIOS is too old to support booting from USB.
Actionparsnip, like through the package manager? I fixed a couple (more like a couple dozen) broken packages through here. Just a big pain the in the rear.
Flyzoola: he just told you to use grub to boot the iso on your harddrive directly
Flyzoola: i didn't suggest that i said you can boot a livecd image from grub2
Hello, I am trying to apt-get isntall vmfs-tools but I got a "E: Unable to locate package vfs-tools"
myapologies
How can I fix this E?
Flyzoola: can you give a pastebin of the output of:  lsb_release -a; uname -a; dpkg -l | egrep 'flash|gnash|swf|spark'
veikin, that's probably a bit out of my league. I am just a casual user that likes Ubuntu because it runs on my crappy old PC. I'm in no way shape or form knowledgeable in how it works
jgspratt: click the link above
oh.. well if you aren't familiar at all with grub or installing linux without an automated installer it would probably be best to not attempt
ActionParsnip: that is not the package I am trying to install actually
ActionParsnip, http://pastebin.com/iBZZ861y
it is this one: http://glandium.org/projects/vmfs-tools/
You can see how to install it here: http://digfor.blogspot.com/2011/04/accessing-vmfs-partitions.html

jgspratt: did you enable "universe"
what is that? is that a repo?
(I'm on a live cd)
enable "universe jgspratt
jgspratt: then you need to enable the "software source" universe
the source? the repo is the source?
jgspratt: there are several ways to do that. In software center click on edit/software sources
jgspratt, open synaptic and  enable the "software source" universe
Hellp. Help http://paste.lisp.org/display/133778#1
Ugh, I can't my dkms to work with the 3.5.0-18-generic kernel.

Flyzoola: Just curious, what kind of hardware are you running on? You mentioned it was old.
Blacklist: on a live system he won't have synaptic

jgspratt, get it figured out?
how to install ubuntu in ipad3
Honvai: Please stop trolling.
I think so, yeah. I had to install vim because the arrow keys wouldn't work in this vi, but I wrote universe and multiverse at the end of a line in sources.list and did an update
seems happy
Honvai: why buy a crippled half spec'd pad pc then expect it to be able to accommodate anything but Apple's dumbass OS?
Honvai: what sort of mentality is that?
grabbing vmfs-tools now!
jgspratt,  open the terminal and paste this sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ $(lsb_release -sc) partner"
Honvai: http://www.google.co.in/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&cad=rja&ved=0CB0QtwIwAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DfpXmVzxl6JA&ei=ecCmUJH1CIuqrAfs0oHYBA&usg=AFQjCNG6yye4_aB6RAloBMkLXKaNFqe0Bg check that out..
Blacklist: why do I need that?
do you know what I'm trying to do?
Honvai: the whole idea of ipads is that they are for morons who don't want to think but have the spare cash to splash on an underspecced system. Then you expect the system (from one of the most closed minded companies around) to be able to have anything but the iPad OS on it?Are you serious?
jgspratt: thx for the remark about vi/vim - some student recently complained about misbehaving arrow keys in vi
enable sorce universe
yeah. they are weired.  they type capital letters.
actionparsnip, just finished installing the flash plug in. But flash still crashes
jgspratt: and nowyou told me a way to remedy that :)
yep, install 25MB of vim and you're good to go.
yes i
am serious
Flyzoola: not sure then. All I can suggest is remove all flash packages and install Chrome, it has flash already in.
Honvai: can you not see where the question completely falls down?
Woo! Hey everyone - if anyone's stuck running Outlook in a virtual machine hit me up. I made a fun little script that will let you get notifications on your linux desktop when you get mail in outlook in the VM
ActionParsnip, I have chrome installed but it says it failed to load flash on it
Message me if you'd like it
It's nice not to have to check on the VM every few minutes
Honvai: http://ipadqueries.com/possible-install-ubuntu-linux-ipad-886.html
ShinyObjects1: why run outlook when there are so many email clients for Ubuntu which are native
How does one set the TZ from CLI?  `dpkg-reconfigure tzdata` has that prompt window come up, I just want to force to 'America/Chicago'
ActionParsnip: Because Thunderbird caused me to get kicked off the domain every time it checked for mail and Evolution crashed randomly or gave me faulty data
ShinyObjects1: any other clients tested?
(and leaked memory like a sieve)
ActionParsnip: no other clients were able to connect to the Exchange server, no
I was able to VPN into my work network from home, but how do I connect to my office computer
ShinyObjects1: oh then thats the issue,
Every client I found was either inactive for years or super buggy/crashy/memory leaky
both home and office run Ubuntu 12.10
Is there such a code in which this all gets better?
designbybeck: ssh.
I've installed the latest fglrx (Proprietary ATI) drivers and doing fglrxinfo tells me everything was installed fine ( http://paste.ubuntu.com/1363759/ ) and my Xorg log is fine ( http://paste.ubuntu.com/1363762/ ) as well as dmesg ( http://paste.ubuntu.com/1363763/ ) yet when I open Details, it shows under Graphics: "VESA: SUMO"
Honvai: No.
Honvai: doubt it
bekks:  YOU AGAIN!... haven't you had enough of me already! :P
Any ideas what's going on, or am I just interpreting what "Details" is saying wrong? Thx
designbybeck: ;)
bekks:  so once I VPN to the network? just ssh to the computer name?
designbybeck: can you ping it's IP?
designbybeck: I'd use the IP rather than the name.
not sure what the IP address would be. it is dynamicDHCP
ActionParsnip: Also neither evolution nor thunderbird supported the Exchange server's calendars and notifications.
so wouldn't that change ActionParsnip
designbybeck: Well, you have to know the IP :)
It's a bummer :\
there is package that I downloaded but never installed and now everytime there is a kernel update it attempts to install that package and says there was an error attempting to install it.
ShinyObjects1: seems like the issue is a poor choice of mail server :)
ActionParsnip++
i got the ip from ifconfig bekks and ActionParsnip
I want to get rid of what I downloaded so that does not happen with every kernel update
designbybeck: not hugely, You may be able to ping the name, depends how the VPN is confgures
Heh, I'll say, ActionParsnip. I wish the choice was mine, but when you're the new guy in a 100+ person organization you don't have the clout to decide :\
why not use synaptic package manager to lock the file out so the updates will stop trying to install it
designbybeck: You need the IP of the computer you want to connect to. Not your own.
designbybeckas long as it is in a different netmask to your home network, you can connect
ok I was able to VPN so I know I got into the network at least
lol
<IdleOne> Are you trying to be stupid or does it just come natural?
* Evil_Eric (~eric@2602:306:2500:4e49:d04d:70af:786f:cb23) has joined #ubuntu-offtopic
<bulletrulz> um preety damn stupid why?
* michealPW (~michealPW@165-154-38-23.ispnetbilling.com) has left #ubuntu-offtopic
<IdleOne> In that case I'll try to not use big words
bekks: this is the computer I want to connect to when I go hom
home
So if you're stuck with Exchange and Outlook, at least you can get notifications on your desktop :)
fuck u flootbot
where do packages get downloaded to?
designbybeck: so if your VPN adapter has a 192.168.0.x address and your home network uses the same, it won't work
bulletrulz: No need for swearing
no I don't think that is the case ActionParsnip
I mean they are differnet addresses
Install ubuntu Internal Storage
designbybeck: you may need to change the subnet of your home network to accommodate
but ActionParsnip and bekks, do I have to have my Work Ubuntu set to share? or something?
designbybeck: thats cool then
designbybeck: ssh is basically you need, so be sure to have a working openssh server on your box.
designbybeck: well, how do you want to access it, and to achieve what?
designbybeck: surely everything you access is on a server?
ActionParsnip: I would like to view the desktop and interact with it
designbybeck: Then take a look into nxserver/nxclient.
designbybeck: yes, but to achieve what?
ActionParsnip help me out with my question
designbybeck: what are you going to do on the desktop?
ActionParsnip: bekks:  bekks has been helping with a VM. I'm trying to make my own distro and want to keep working on it from home, but not take all these files
designbybeck: All these files? Export the vm as .ova, done :)
brophat: uninstall the package
hmmm
bekks:  then that would be a 20gb file i have to cart around?
designbybeck: No, it will be compressed.
designbybeck: if you install openssh-server on the desktop, you can access the files using nautilus/terminal. You don't need the desktop for that
I was hoping to see the desktop so I could just keep things open ActionParsnip, does it not work like that
To remote into?
how do i reset gnome? my g-c-c settings won't unlock unless i use gksu. can't change themes or make my clock am/pm.
designbybeck: or, just ssh to the systemand do things in terminal there....
On Ubuntu, the "Details" program shows "Graphics: VESA: SUMO" is this a problem? I've properly installed fglrx v9.0 from AMD/ATI.
designbybeck NX is a great snappy way to remote desktop
Sorry, Ubuntu 12.04.1
designbybeck: If you want your desktop, take a look into nxclient/nxserver.
Thank you ShinyObjects1
sorry i posted in the wrong channel
designbybeck If you install freeNX (you can get it at nomachine.org) it'll be accessible over the SSH port
i've never heard of it bekks i'll go hunt it down
michealPW: what ATi GPU do you use?
designbybeck I'd recommend you use their older 3.x branch rather than the new 4.x
designbybeck The link is buried but it's worth it - faster.
ActionParsnip: I'm using The HD 6550D, it's built-in to my AMD A8
ShinyObjects1:  so just the 3.5v NX Free Edition for Linux ?
Yep designbybeck.  And that's the same thing that bekks was recommending
Client Node Server ?
which has to be server?
Your work machine should install node and server
michaelni: should be ok with the proprietary driver
Your machine at home should install client
great! Trying it now! Thanks ShinyObjects1 ActionParsnip bekks !!
IT IS TIME FOR A DRINK!
ActionParsnip it was never installed
designbybeck one important trick - if you want to be able to login using your unix user/pass edit /usr/NX/etc/server.cfg and make sure "EnableUserDB" and "EnablePassDB" are both 0
ActionParsnip: Ah, okay. fglrxinfo and glxinfo all seem to say everything is installed and working fine but it's just this gnome-shell details utility said VESA: SUMO so I wasn't sure if it should say fglrx or AMD or something :\
Or maybe does it always say that, maybe that utility is just broken?
ShinyObjects1: Thats not needed, actually. :)
michealPW: does:   sudo lshw -C display    show something different
designbybeck congrats, you can now access your machine via shell, remote desktop, and file sharing  over a secure, encrypted connection all on the same port :)
It isn't, bekks? I thought it was...
ShinyObjects1: It never was, for me.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=66S8is1E9MI&feature=related
Weird. I first used it back in like... 2005 though. Perhaps it was back then?
ShinyObjects1: Thats possible.
I was pretty new to the whole Linux world then though, so I could have just gotten it wrong
ActionParsnip: Here's what lshw says: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1363794/
It seems to be fine, too
Everything's properly reporting the ATI chip, although that 33mhz is WAY off (More like 650mhz hehe)
Want me to make a screenshot? Can I put a TinyPic link in here?
michealPW: yes, tinypic is great
michealPW: or imageshack etc
ActionParsnip ok found the package how do i remove it?
brophat: sudo apt-get --purge remove packagename
ActionParsnip thanks. Ubuntu should make a poster with all the commands on it that we can put on our wall
brophat: there are so many its not really feasible.
ShinyObjects1: http://www.pasteall.org/37290
is it dpkg -i packagename.deb?
ActionParsnip ok make two posters
ShinyObjects1:  i installed 'sudo apt-get install ssh'
designbybeck: You need the openssh server.
brophat: http://fosswire.com/post/2008/04/ubuntu-cheat-sheet/
bekks:  i tried sudo apt-get install openssh
DeomonicApathy thanks
Sorry
and it didn't like that
Took me forever to find Crop in GIMP (rofl)
designbybeck: "it idnt like that" - is it what you felt your computer may thought? :)
ha
yeah!
Here's what's got me confused: http://i46.tinypic.com/10giu6x.png
how do I install openssh?
I might just wait until monday!
designbybeck: By telling us what your computer "didnt like" with apt-get install openssh
oh
designbybeck: sudo apt-get install openssh-server
E: Unable to locate package openssh
bekks
ah yes that was it ActionParsnip and looks like i alraedy had it
designbybeck: Also, don't forget apt-cache search openssh
That would have found openssh-server package I think ;)
designbybeck: Maybe because it is named "openssh-server" :)
or sudo aptitude search openssh
n0sq: You dont need sudo for searching. And aptitude is deprecated and discouraged.
you guys are making my brain hurt on a friday at 5pm!
Maybe I should install aptitude, hehe
bekks: first i've heard of that
works fine for me
ShinyObjects1:  do I have to start the process?
ShinyObjects1: sudo /usr/NX/bin/nxserver --start
hey designbybeck - sorry I was afk. I'm back
I get that error http://www.pasteall.org/37290
actually designbybeck you just do "service nxserver start"
ActionParsnip: http://i46.tinypic.com/10giu6x.png
ShinyObjects1:  i got that same error
ActionParsnip: Is that normal? The "VESA: SUMO" ?
ShinyObjects1:  my SSH not configured correctly?
Not sure, designbybeck
Try to ssh into your own machine
ssh localhost
see what that does
how do i get this to connect to something>>> http://imgh.us/desktop_3.png
I wish the global menu bug was fixed
Which?
the wireless device
WeThePeople: nice choice of guake ;)

ShinyObjects1: learnt something about it today, in the appearance tab, you can drag the colours from the palette to the thing you want
That's spiffy!
Good Morning
is the syntax...
is it dpkg -i packagename.deb?
Yea
dougl: yes
thanks ActionParsnip :)
You can use wildcard, too like dpkg -i ./*.deb
Thanks for your time, ActionParsnip :)
how to know all the ip addresses like gateway address, netmask, ip address etc
arunkumar413: For gateway use route
Actually, just use route haha it'll give you all that info :P
I am stuck at a grub> prompt....anyone help me with this? Psl.

arunkumar413: There's also ifconfig which has a lot of useful info, but I think route is what you're looking for :P

I am on 12.04 LTS and I have python-pyinotify 0.9.2 installed from official repos. I had to manually replace the actual python file with the lastest version and I would like to know if there is a way to stop apt from updating it until 0.9.4 is available. any ideas?
is there anyone how can run the apparmor-tool aa-logprof under ubuntu 12.04 without errors?
michealPW: ok, now how find the netmask, broadcast, network address
michealPW: her voice grates on my nerves
arunkumar413: Well, also check ifconfig
Hey...i have used gparted to format my usb-drive to ext4. However for some reason its not being mounted when inserted in the machine. dmesg gives me this: http://bin.cakephp.org/view/477266039 What am I missing?
michealPW: ifconfig not giving all the information
Hi everyone. Has anyone produced an alternate install CD/DVD for 12.10? I have trouble booting the live CD on this machine and cannot install.
I'm not sure about "broadcast", networking isn't really my thing. Network address (192.168.1.1, for example?) and netmask are all in route though
ifconfig shows me my internet address but it's in ipv6 format LOL
For some reason the audio on my 12.10 system is garbled.  When this happened before in 12.04, it had to do with conflicting drivers. How can I check this to solve it?
arunkumar413: In my ifconfig, the second line is this: inet addr:192.168.1.101  Bcast:192.168.1.255  Mask:255.255.255.0
Bcast is broadcast, I'm guessing? Is that what you're looking for no?
bjrohan: a good start is:  killall pulseaudio; rm -r ~/.pulse*    wait 10 seconds and reboot
ActionParsnip: If I don't kill, but reboot, would I possibly have the same problem?
ActionParsnip: In other words does rebooting alone not solve my possible issue?
bjrohan: It's the rm command, removing your config. Yes without those commands you'll have the same problem.
Hi all, I have two OS on my computer, Window 7 and Ubuntu 12.04, the computer get stuck when booting the Ubuntu, how can repair ??? Thanks !
bjrohan: The rm command removes your configuration for PulseAudio, restarting will have Pulse start again, notice no config file and make a new one for you ( This is probably what will fix the problem or at least will be a good start, as ActionParsnip said :P )
ActionParsnip: Thanks. I am encoding a video, when done I will give it a try
Hi all, I have two OS on my computer, Window 7 and Ubuntu 12.04, the computer get stuck when booting the Ubuntu, how can repair ??? Thanks !
di3bis: You don't have to repeat yourself. Someone will reply with an answer once somebody's available :P
di3bis: What other info can you provide, by the way? What exactly is happening when you try to start Ubuntu.
i recenty upgraded to 12.04
last week
What version did you upgrade from?
it loads the "Ubunto logo" then get to black screen
Ah, the black screen is it asking you to log-in?
Not sure what version i had before :(
My favorite thing about Linux: it's just so pretty! -- http://imgur.com/p3Fh7 <-- pretty high res, so expect a big picture. (~2MB)
It's alright. So is this a seperate computer you're using right now or have you just started Windows from the same c omputer?
it doesn't ask anything
just black screen
some times it stuck also on the Loading Logo
Oh, hrmm
di3bis: what video chip do you use?
ShinyObjects1: That's a really nice resolution :P
I wish I could pull that off :(
seriously... how do I get the nice pretty gnome 3 on ubuntu 12.04? gnome shell just installs what looks like gnome 2.
* ShinyObjects1 is spoiled
i use Invidia
That's my work machine - at home I don't have near that
wjtaylor: gnome3 is default in Precise
let me check what type of it
I've got a 22 inch monitor, only seems to go to 1680x1050  :(
wjtaylor: I have yet to find a really good looking gtk3 theme :(
Yeah michaelPW my monitor at home is 23" at 1680x1050
ShinyObjects1: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/8850924/QuantalDesktop.png    simple times :)
wjtaylor: Have you tried sudo apt-get install gnome-desktop-environment
ActionParsnip: bekks ShinyObjects1 guess what!... I ssh'd into my work ssytem from home!
through VPN
ActionParsnip: Looks like unity is the default.
wjtaylor: That should add an option to lightDM for when you log-in called "Gnome", which is the full-blown GNOME 3 DE.
Also I have an adult beverage in hand
ShinyObjects1: or in raring: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/8850924/raring.png
Here at work I've got a couple 23" monitors at 1920x1080
wjtaylor: He/She means Unity is in fact running ontop of Gnome-Shell.
ShinyObjects1:  I don't think I got NX setup correctly though
is it possible to know anything on the wayland support in ubuntu?
I use NVIDIA GEFore 9800 GTX
michaelPW: I will now. thx
wjtaylor: So "technically" Gnome3 is always tehre by default :P
designbybeck awesome!
designbybeck I found this while you were gone http://readlist.com/lists/kde.org/freenx-knx/0/2581.html
di3bis: uninstall the proprietary driver, reboot then install it again
looking now ShinyObjects1
Shiny: Ah, I thought that screenshot was like ~3000x~2000 LOL
Seemed crazy big. Makes me jealous :(
Oh wait, I get it..
<ActionParsnip> - I can't log into Ubunto , i don't even have safe mood option
It's 2 monitors, duh.. I'm such an idiot LOL don't mind me :(
Nice choice in movies, ActionParsnip
ShinyObjects1: well, comedy series. But yeah :)
Hello, I have an issue with my sound card (it uses the snd-ice1724 module)
di3bis: hold SHIFT at boot, select recovery mode, select root
ActionParsnip: have you ever messed with xwinwrap?
It's detected by the OS and shows up in 'aplay -l', but I cannot get sound out of it.
The /dev/dsp device also does not exist.
ShinyObjects1: a little, kills my cpu pretty well if you run a video with it
ShinyObjects1: and so forth. I don't have much power, hence openbox :)
:) Yeah, I run the GLMatrix screen saver as my left monitor''s desktop
haha
ActionParsnip: totally understand. That's what I run on my netbook
Nice
<ActionParsnip> - will SHIFT work even if i have this question to load Window7 or Ubuntu ?
ShinyObjects1: openbox + xcompmgr + docky or plank
Yeah michaelPW - it's really fun because there are only 2 others running Linux at my company
Linus advocates ~2000 pixel standard resolution :|
So when people walk by and see my screen they're awestruck
what does a kernel upgrade mean??
di3bis: if you used junky wubi, then hold it after that I guess
WeThePeople: The same thing as on gentoo - installing a new kernel.
I was reading a Google+ post he made about it. Meh he makes a good argument but where are these monitors that can do it? Or maybe that's his point, haha :|
They always say "THAT is Linux?!? I thought  it was all ... text mode screens and stuff."
WeThePeople: you are getting a new kernel. You need to reboot to load the new kernel
Ksplice!~
(muscle)
bekks, like upgrade to 10.10 from 10.04??
ShinyObjects1: oh yea, especially from those who say they are 'good with computers'
ShinyObjects1: when really they are 'good at running setup.exe'
WeThePeople: Thats an Ubuntu release update. Kernel updates mean something like 3.6.2 -> 3.6.3
ok
haha ShinyObjects1 yea I get that too heehee!
<ActionParsnip> -- thanks guys , i'll give it a try
Exactly ActionParsnip. It really surprises them to see me running all their Windows programs alongside my better looking Linux programs
hehe ShinyObjects1 everyone's blown away with the XBox controller hooked to my Fedora machine haha
My kids use to play games on.
"That's linux??" heehee!
Haha. Nice. Yeah they're pretty impressed when I plug stuff into my machine and it just works (webcams, etc)
They try to hand me the CD that came with it and I say "don't need it. Thanks!"
Yea, linux handles serial so brilliantly
michaelPM: does it matter which display manager I use? lightdm or gdm?
It took my wife hours to get some LeapFrog thing working on Windows, I just plugged it into Linux and used it like it was a Usb thumb-drive (rofl)
~2 minutes it was ready :P
ShinyObjects1: to be honest it's not much different, people we just Windows blind :)
wjtaylor: No, that's personal preference mate. I personally prefer LightDM 'cause it's lightweight and desktop-agnostic... It doesn't care what desktop you use. GDM will partially load GNOME, though...
Even before you select gnome and log-in, I mean, GDM itself pulls a tonne of gnome stuff into memory. LightDM's like ~5k lines of code to GDM's ~50k lines :P
I wish lightDM had more themes available though. GDM's got a ton.
True..
Although lightDM has different greeters
Like if you start it with the kde greeter it looks totaly different from the unity greeter hehe, different themes avail. for it too (Weird)
ShinyObjects1: why care, it's hardly on the screen, if at all
michaelPW: great. thx. Just out of curiosity, do you know how to bring back the missing menus in the gnome fallback session? System menu that is...
Hey...i have used gparted to format my usb-drive to ext4. However for some reason its not being mounted when inserted in the machine. dmesg gives me this: http://bin.cakephp.org/view/477266039 What am I missing?
ShinyObjects1: IT WORKED!!!! I logged into my desktop at work from home!!! Awesome! Thanks guys!
wjtaylor: Sorry no, I'm not familiar at all with gnome fallback session (I'm not even sure what it technically is LOL)
hehe designbybeck. ssh is the coolest thing ever! :)
* ShinyObjects1 high fives designbybeck
michealPW:  this was with NoMachine! I'd never even heard of it!
I haven't, either. Kudos, mate! :)
Good job man :) Just so you know NX is really fast most of the time. If you find it sluggish try tweaking the settings
ShinyObjects1: if you want to go the whole hog: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2011/09/3d-lightdm-login-window-pretty-slick
designbybeck - I first used NX because VMWare Server's remote desktop was so slow... I'd NX in to the machine and run VMWare Server's  remote display and connect it to itsself...
through NX it was way faster
ShinyObjects1: essentially....pointless
ShinyObjects1:  I did have to use NM4 because 3.5 didn't met dependencies
ActionParsnip: Not for everyone. Back when I was in college I'd log in and out of my laptop all the time
Probably 15-20 times a day
ShinyObjects1: its still pretty pointless imho
ActionParsnip: Killing and removing the config seems to have worked so far. What would have junked up the pulse config file
bjrohan: Gamma rays from the sun?
There's something to be said for aesthetics, ActionParsnip It has an unquantifiable value
Prolly
Aesthetics really is important.. Also customizability. One of the first things my grandmother, mom and even wife does is try to change their background, themes etc. and they like to browse through them all... :\
Just saying, is all..
:)
how auto run (sudo hostapd hostapd.conf) command after insert my wifi adoptor. please help me
Hahahah ActionParsnip that link is hilarious!!
I love it!
Even though it's not useful, they get upset when they can't do that ( As they see it as so basic :P )
anyone?
hello,good morning
Hello, good evening :)
:d
Hello. I need some help please. I'm new to linux. I just installed skype and its sais it's running, but i cant find it. How do i find "running applications" in linux?
Good morning
its not in my top right where the clock it
is
chris_33: You can use ps or top. Also htop is nice (You'll have to install it)
chris_33, some likes process explorer ?
ActionParsnip: michealPW actually the audio while watching a Youtube video is okay, however playing a video from my HD sounds garbled :-(
chris_33: Oh, wait.. bottom right :P
michealpw: thank you
Like, push your cursor to bottom-right all the way
it's the trash can
bottom left
then work space then xchat
It should unhide a black bar. Skype might be down there. I know what you're saying now :P
hmm.. i don't see a black bar
Nah I mean, like press Esc to close the hud/action menu if it's open and push your mouse to your bottom-right corner of your screen all the way
Maybe I'm thinking of gnome 3haha
Don't listen to me I'm an idiot (blushes)
lol yea cause it's not working here
how else can i get to skype? it's saying its running
I tried launching it again, but it said it cant cause it's already running. I can't get to it
Wait, uhh, on Unity if you open something it should always stay on your unity launcher
Try right-clicking on it's icon?
Iunno. I'm not good with Unity LOL
yea i tried that. it's only letting me uninstall
Oh weird
i don't know why it's not in a task bar like in windows
I wonder if that has to do with the weird indicator-panel thing that Unity uses? Iunno. Let me try a couple Google searches for you and see what I turn up :P
ok, thank you
Hey, found it : http://askubuntu.com/questions/74229/how-to-access-skype-in-unity#74951
Apparently it's a common problem. That link brigns you to a comment with a solution, though :P
Well, once you get Skype up anways haha
it's through wine ?
No
native .deb ?
It's just 'cause Skype wants to mimize to a taskbar and Unity uses a new indicator thingy which maybe Skype doesn't support.. So when you minimize/close Skype, it hides itself in a taskbar (Which doesn't exist in Unity)
too much fragmentation....
^ This, amen...
But Canonical doesn't agree so our opinions are moot :P
haha
There's a solution, though.. You just change the way Skype behaves, so it never tries to hide in a taskbar anymore :P
Which is kind of a brutish workaround but it will at least get you up and Skyping again :P
:)
Unity makes me feel like a newbie, honestly. I can't tell you how many times I had something minimized and was looking around for it, LOL
how can i make ubuntu run faster on my eee pc 901 netbook?
pure debian, is pure debian...
michealPW: who says you have to use Unity?
Debian 6.0.5 was great, but man it only had Wine 1.0... LOL wth?
michealPW: if you use LXDE, there is no issue:)
ActionParsnip: Meh I don't like LXDE or XFCE. I use GNOME 3 personally :P
no wine here....no windows dll's
nice, thank you
It has a taskbar it just auto-hides :P
hehe silindean. Ubuntu and Fedora you just apt-get install and get the latest Wine. Also PlayOnLinux fully updated and just works :P
no, it's not working!
rats........
My mistake was probably going with Squeeze. I should have went with the Testing debian but meh. The frontpage recommended Squeeze haha
chris_33: Sorry, mate. Hrmm!
skype is still hiden :(
:)
can we use oovoo on linux?
 I'm running lubuntu on a laptop, and cannot get my touchpad to work.  The mouse function, and both buttons work fine I just can't get the mouse clicks with the touchpad to work.
chris_33: Did you do this? gsettings get com.canonical.Unity.Panel systray-whitelist
no where do i put this?
just wait for the html5 version of skype :P
Add skype to your whitelist, so it looks like this in a terminal: gsettings set com.canonical.Unity.Panel systray-whitelist "['JavaEmbeddedFrame', 'Skype', 'scp-dbus-service', 'Wine']"
LOL silindean. html5 is where it's at (muscle)
how can i make ubuntu run faster on my eee pc 901 netbook?
wine?
yea ubuntu is slow on my notebook too
try puppy linux
i thought linux was faster than windows 7
try xubuntu
ethanr: install Lubuntu and use that
or that
options, options, options....
hi
for newbies , these options make them quit
xubuntu is a lazy version downgraded version of ubuntu isnt it?
silindean: maybe tey should look at themselves
I really like the elegance of Unity, is there any way to optimize my system for it?
chris_33: not at all
oh..
chris_33: Xubuntu uses XFCE instead of Unity. Lubuntu uses LXDE.
chris_33: its just ubuntu with a different default set of apps
which one is best for someone that JUST came from windows like 5 hours ago?
chris_33: They're lightweight alternatives to Unity, GNOME and KDE for machiens that do not have rippin' powerful GPUs and gigabytes of ram..
I haven't tried lubuntu, but I have tried xubuntu. it's definetely faster, but just not as elegant.
i want word, picture editor and fast
something stable and fast and i go to college, so i need word processing and photo editing.
chris_33: I'd say Kubuntu as has a button the the bottom left for apps
I have a cheap notebook :(
chris_33: I would say probably Lubuntu or Xubuntu.
chris_33: for low resources, Lubuntu all the way
chris_33: KDE is also great, however if you have sluggish performance with Ubuntu Kubuntu will be no improvement.
In fact, Kubuntu is more sluggish in many areas than Unity or Gnome..
So Lubuntu for sure guys?
chris_33: I would
I trust you all. :)
chris_33: Lubuntu or Xubuntu, yup :p
what is their webpage? i'll download it now.
hiho
i've just installied lubuntu! yai!
;-)
Lubuntu is even more lighter than Xubuntu. If you want the maximum performance Lubuntu is where it's at, I think :P
Cyd you like it?
www.microsoftstore.com there you go :P
I'm not an expert, though :P
sure
Oh god silindean
LOL
www.microsoft.com ? hmm..
so did nVidia took the bumblebee project ?
it's faster then ubunto
i hated the new user interface
on ubuntu
what they call it again?
unity
yeah
cyd where do i download it?
lubuntu.org
i luv tits
or something
cyd: where do i download the lubuntu for my cheap slow notebook ?
OMG Word is $180?!?!
How do i install mediawiki on ubuntu?
That's flippin' mad, man!
cyd: run:   free -m | head -n 3 | tail -n 1 | awk {'print $3'}         to see your used RAM :)
michealpw: linux it's free. linux RULZ
ah it's http://lubuntu.net/
ok
@actionparsnip i give it try
yea, $180
cyd: I bet its quite low :)
hruejiwo: 'sudo apt-get install mediawiki'
yeats: it's deprecated.
it's a old version
Windows 8 pro is ~$80, wow that has to be the cheapest Windows I've ever seen before...
BUT is lubuntu still supported, updated and current, or is it old and no one is working on it anymore, extinct?
The system requirements for Windows 8 reads like a video game :\
the upgrade version
chris_33: yes but 12.04 isn't LTS
yes, it is
NO 80.00 for an UPGRADE from windows 7. not ONLY 80 bucks
lol... yes it is
@ActionParsnip it's 1221
hruejiwo: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Running_MediaWiki_on_Ubuntu
mb
chris_33: Yea, Lubuntu is fully supported. It's the same system, only using Lxde instead of Gnome/Unity.
ty yeats
oh, ok. Thank you. I didn't want to download something outdated and not supported anymore
I love ubuntu :)
michaelPW: It didn't work. I installed the gnome-desktop session, then I reinstalled gnome-shell. Then I installed the tweak tool, which sucks. Do you know how to get the auto-snapping windows and all the goodness that the gnome youtube channel highlights?
chris_33: Wow that's dirty, I thought it was a full OS.. Just an upgrade whoa, who would pay for an upgrade disk? What if the system had problems down the road, wouldn't you need to install Win7, then upgrade all overagain?!
:\
chris_33: 12.10 is fantastic too though, that is what I use now. It's pretty easy to upgrade versions of ubuntu if need be
but eclipse/android dv open, xchat, putty, chromium are open
cyd: wow you must have a lot open
cyd: still, for those apps open, not bad
cyd: why putty?
hmm and pidgin too
ssh
wjtaylor: Yea those are all gnome-shell-extension- packages I think. Try installing gnome-shell-extension-common or something like that. Better yet do apt-cache search gnome-shell
i'm connected to a webserver
You'll find a tonne of useful things. Then use gnome-tweak-tool to enable the extensions, including the Window things
cyd: you can ssh using terminal.....
Lemme look, hehe
odd-on for terminal ?
i need putty for key-auth
add*
i didn't check wether the normal terminal support rsa-key-auth
so i use putty out of the box ;-)
Greetings. I'm on Ubuntu 12.10 x64 and I'm trying to install the VMware View client provided here: https://my.vmware.com/web/vmware/details?downloadGroup=VIEWCRT_LINUX_160&productId=266&rPId=3045 It launches the software center, but says it can not find the package. Any ideas?
cyd: it does
lubuntu i'm donwloading it right now. 12.10
ok nice to know ;-)
i'm switching from windows ya know...
Wait I'm not sure I understand the question, wjtaylor..
@chris_33 yeah give it a try... install process is pretty fast
What exactly are you looking for, hehe?
iim excited!
I think my windows would snap-together automatically, hehe? I can show you a screenshot of my gnome-tweak-tool -> Shell Extensions if you want? :\
chris_33: Honestly you can also just do sudo apt-get install lubuntu-desktop
I installed Ubuntu LTS then did sudo apt-get install kubuntu edubuntu
@chris_33 are you already on ubuntu?
'cause I like KDE and I wanted all the educational programs/games for my kids. Now when I log-in, we can pick whatever desktop environment we want.
nice
how many kids do you have?
michaelPM: I still have a gnome session that looks almost like gnome 2. It's just the menus are set up differently. I'm looking for all the cool features (auto docking windows, expanding workspaces, etc.  advertised by gnome 3)
i crashed my ubuntu hd recently
KDE, Gnome, Unity etc. The same is true if you just sudo apt-get install lubuntu, you'd simply select "lxde" as your desktop environment instead of KDE.
silindean: Two. 3 and 6 years old ;)
:)
cyd: yes
wjtaylor: Ahh, so when you start Ubuntu at the log-in screen, you click the Icon beside your name to expand a context menu which should have "GNOME", "Gnome Classic", "Gnome Classic 2d", etc... Select "Gnome"
@michealPW do they already want iphones?
That's Gnome 3.
ahahaha
cyd: but everyone is saying lubuntu is much much much much faster
cyd: haha, nope, they're pre-occupied with supertux! :)
My sound control indicator doesn't work anymore :/ - It's still there, but doesn't work.
chris_33: He doesn't mean that Lubuntu crashed his hd. All the Ubuntu's use the same kernel, which is waht would be in control of your disk (Not lxde hehe)
I'm on Ubuntu 12.10 x64 and I'm trying to install the VMware View client provided here: https://my.vmware.com/web/vmware/details?downloadGroup=VIEWCRT_LINUX_160&productId=266&rPId=3045 It launches the software center, but says it can not find the package. Any ideas?
cyd: I want my computer to be as fast as the new power machines out there. I have a g60 HP which is about 2 years old
@chris_33 yes it is! you might just try an upgrade from your current ubuntu per command shell
From the same version, of course (Lubuntu 12.04, Ubuntu 12.04 etc. all use kernel v3.2 of some sort.)
i went to the lubuntu internet webpage and am downloading the 12.10 lubuntu. Am i doing it right?
let's help the vmware guy
cyd: i went to the lubuntu internet webpage and am downloading the 12.10 lubuntu. Am i doing it right?
na i trashed my last ubuntu install by upgrading to the new version without enough hd-space
chris_33: sure if you want to fresh install. Or you can install lxde on Ubuntu and it'll be the same except the theme
chris_33: Both are fine. With the disk image you're downloading, you'll lose your current Ubuntu system I think. From a terminal you can add lxde to your current system.
michaelPW: nope. I get a gnome session that is very boring. It look like the gnome classic session.
fishscene vmware player ?
@chris_33 try this command "sudo apt-get install lubuntu-desktop" without the " in your console
wjtaylor: Ah, hrmm.. I'm wondering if maybe it's hitting a problem and doing a fallback session? I'm not sure mate. Pretty sure all I did was sudo apt-get install gnome-desktop hah I can't remember anymore.
silindean: Not quite. It's kind of like RDC, but specifically for the VMware "view" method of accessing virtual machines remotely
Maybe I got it from gnome.org's repo, let me check my sources
I want to burn it on cd
michaelPW: does your session have the autodocking, etc..??
@chris_33 just type in your unity search "terminal", start it and type in sudo apt-get install lubuntu-desktop
im confused. what is better? installing it with the sudo apt get or just downloading the ISO and burning it to disk then reinstalling a fresh copy?????
What's autodocking?
install from terminal
no need to reconfigure all your stuff
chris_33: neither is outright better
fishscene: maybe VMware View Client for Linux is for 12.04 LTS... ?
you managed to get in here...
actionparsnip: ok
so if you do a clean install you have to configure all the up again ;-)
I have 2 network adapters setup in my VM running ubuntu server 12.10 and on startup the default gateway is only setup in routes for eth0, but I need it also for eth1. How can I configure it to setup both?
Ohhhh wjtaylor my bad, I actually added the gnome PPA and installed from Gnome3-team..
Let me find that page, brb
That's right, too... I had nothing but problems with Gnome from Ubuntu's repos.
cyd: ok i'll do sudo apt-get install lubuntu-desktop
I had to install from gnome.org
if you want ONLY lubuntu from the start then just use the iso, If you want ubuntu+ lubuntu, it dosent  really matter
chris_33: installing lubuntu-desktop will install lxde etc and you will use more space and you will have a few duplicated apps. Clean installing Lubuntu will give a fresh installl of Lubuntu with minimal apps and minimal HDD use but you will need to remove the stuff you have installed now
actionparsnip: ok thank you for the heads up. fresh install would be better then.
chris_33: neither is better than the other, both are just as good as each other
silindean: Maybe. But I didn't find any kind of restrictions or anything mentioned. Just "Ubuntu? Download here!" type thing.
eth1 is bridged so I can access the internet, eth0 is Host-only adapter. I can try and switch them (having eth0 as bridged and eth1 as host-only), but I'm sure there's a way to do it without having to do that?
wjtaylor: http://apt.ubuntu.com/p/gnome
wjtaylor: Go to that link, it should get you started :P
@chris_33 you can clean up duplicates later
I'm having an issue with sound.
@chris_33 your package manager should identify them
My newer sound card doesn't seem to want to output sound, even though it's recognized by the OS.
will i have to reblack list my wifi drivers?
michaelPW: check this out. autodocking is at 2:00. Does your session do all this?
I missed the link
cyd: i really apreciate yoru help.
michaelPW: yeah, that would help. :) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SSGfS6K7pI0
fishscene: yea, no restrictions, but the release date (2012-09-28) is before 12.10 was out....
hehe kk let me check it out
I apreciate everyones help. I was scared my computer could not handle linux or something because it's soooo slow. Windows is faster, but i know linux should be faster
@chris_33 unity was designed with modern hardware in mind...
unity is the theme / gui right?
I sent you private message wjtaylor.
@chris_33 it's a shame they don't change the requirements
yeah
k
lxde is more like windows in the user experience
lxde?
yeah
lubuntu ^
that's the same as unity ?
the gui you are about to use
it's nicer than the default ubuntu one i'm using right now ?
gui = grapchical user interface
maybe not
Ohhhh wjtaylor, I seen autodock yes this feature is in Gnome 3 for me haha
its lighter then unity
it's like windows
oh cool
Did you get that private message I sent you? It's just a link, here: http://apt.ubuntu.com/p/gnome
Its more like the old windows 95 layout
yea i'm use to windows since 3.1
yes
windows 95 style
95? lol wow old days.
as long as it's not dos.
:))
yeah what i'm missing is the snap feature of windows 7
dr_willis: i wouldn't say so
you pushing windows into the corner and to the side so they snap to them
can i upgrade lxde with this feature?
my grandma has her old computer which had windows 3.1 (4 boxes on the screen). My uncle put on linux and now it's faster than my g60 HP notebook which is only 2 years old.
cyd: in unity does this exist, i think
hehe
cyd:  that would have to be somehow added to openbox. or some other window manager.
yeah right openbox is the window manager. let check google on that
the feature is in Unity with compiz and in Gnome-shell (whioch uses mutter)
Ive not noticed the feature in any othe window managers
@dr_willis ok i'll check of compiz for lxde
OMG 30 min till it's downloaded. Another 30 min to burn it to cd and install it. I'm excited !!!!
hope my computer will be much faster
install minix3 :P
cyd:  that sort of defeats the lightness of lxde ;)
@dr_willis yeah compiz is pretty heavy
and just for gnome 2 ?
but i only want this only feature
:(
does lubuntu have all the default drivers for my wifi notebook card, my webcam and that?
yes
oh phew
chris_33:  all the *buntus use the same underlaying core
it's the same code base as ubuntu
oh good ok
only the gui is different
I do think Lubuntu uses a differnt default kernel then ubuntu. but it shouldent matter driverwise
one of the reasons i chose the lubuntu distro
how does the gui make such a big difference in the speed of your computer?
i belive lubuntu uses the non-pae kernel by default
i mean ubuntu to lubuntu ?
chris_33:  when the gui is the most memory/gpu intendve part of the OS. it matters.
oh, ok
:)
unity uses a lot of graphic resources to display it's nice interface
cyd, more light
dr_willis: in 12.04 yes
dr_willis: in 12.10, its pae in lubuntu
so with lubuntu i shoulnt have a problem with the "hiding skype" bug that's going around?
right now skype is running on my system, but i cant open it unless i log off and log on and run it again
chris_33: should befine
excelent :0
skype is proberly using more resources then the lubuntu desktop is. ;)
:))
really?
hahahaha
wow
probs
:)
i think firefox too @ dr_willis :)
id almost guarentee that FF or any other browsers would be using more   resoruces under normal ussage then the Lubuntu desktop gui would be using. ;)
If i play a first person shooter which is a windows game like "black hawk down" or "counter strike" or "battle field" will it run faster in wine than on windows?
no
no?
Unity+ff here watching a video - seems i got about 4gb in use. well 2 are cache.. :) so about 2 GB in use by the desktop + gui
windows is faster than linux when it comes to playing first person shooter windows games?
yes
cyd: who yes ?
because they where designed for directx not opengl
chris_33: check the appdb
linux only offers open gl
chris_33: http://appdb.winehq.org/
cyd: i'm sure urbanterror on both OSes runs pretty much equally well
@chris_33 linux only offers open gl as a 3d-interface for programming games
@chris_33 and most games are programmed to the directx interface of microsoft
dr_willis 2GB unity ???
cyd: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xQFBK1yNIxE
@chris_33 directx is much closer to the xna for the xbox360
cyd: not played Penumbra either?
cyd: oh i see. so games are more for windows
cyd: or doom3?
which ubuntu consumes less cpu, ram and graphics ? kubuntu or ubuntu ?
lubuntu
right
Haswell: lubuntu
chris_33: there are linux games, great games
but the game is changing... steam will be now on linux too
cyd: did you play those games?
wow really? nice!
yea, steam on linux...next phase
nope
Haswell: I think Ubuntu, mate. KDE is pretty bulky. They're pretty similar, though. Both Unity/Gnome and KDE are very heavy desktops.
i've heard of urban terror
actionparsnip? so your opinion linux can play games faster than windows?
Haswell: 2 votes for ubuntu
chris_33: in some cases, yes
cyd: also http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xQFBK1yNIxE
chris_33, but lubuntu will be cut in other benefits, wont it?
chris_33: It depends on the game in question. Check the appdb. Some games run amazingly fast in Wine, some run horribly sluggish in Wine (WINE is a compatibility layer that allows Windows games/programs to run natively on Linux.)
@ActionParsnip it all depends on the drivers
cyd: also depends on the game
actionparsnip: i see
thanks michealPW  silindean
Haswell: KDE, in my opinion is verry buggy, compared to Unity
ok. got it :)
chris_33: Wine is a work in progress and not all games are engineered the same way, therefore there will be huge variations.. http://appdb.wine.org/ I believe.
cyd: so a blanket 'Windows is better' is ignorant at best
I disagree silindean, but I install KDE 4.9.2 from backports, not 4.8.4 which Precise repos offer...
@ActionParsnip na if you want to play the newest games Windows is still the best their is
chris_33: check the appdb for compatibility, there are also fantastic native games
Wine's getting better!
4.8.4 was nothing but problems for me.
michealPW: 4.9.2 maybe
cyd: humble bundle is always kicking out new games
Check PlayonLinux if you really don't want to be forced into running Windows
but games don't matter that much for me anymore
yeah i've bought the recent package
@ActionParsnip i've bought the recent package
hello is it possible to upgrade ubuntu 10.10 with do-release-update ?
ok im burning the lubuntu to cd then installing it in a minute or two. just finding a blank dvd to burn it on
at this time
Indeed, PlayOnLinux is great. Still, though. Wine cannot be used to play all Windows-based games. I still have Win7 on my gaming machine that I dual-boot into to play certain games that just will not work with Wine.
because i have some 404 http errors
cyd: so, how new do you want?
@chris_33 cd is enought
ok
Or that will not work well with wine.
can be this done without reinstalling ?
@chris_33 or wait try to build a usb stick
@chris_33 don't waste a cd on it ,-)
ubs ?  ok 1 gig is enough ?
i have a 1 gig usb key
@chris_33 you know how to build an usb stick? sure 1gb is enough
CruX|: Yes but it's not ideal. You would have to dist-upgrade repeatedly, from 10.10 to 11.04, from 11.04 to 11.10, from 11.10 to 12.04, and then from 12.04 to 12.10...
yup, startup disk creator
CruX|: So technically yes you can upgrade, but really that's nuts.. LOL.
ActionParsnip: Heroes of Newerth runs well on mint, almos like on windows
cyd: I think the humble bundle guys kicked out..what...5 bundles this year, new enough?
What benefits are cut in lubuntu, comparing with ubuntu?
Haswell: They're all the same system, just using different desktops. Lubuntu uses LXDE.
Haswell: less RAM usage
Hense the "L" ;)
@ActionParsnip i bought the one with the android games
michealPW: thx
Haswell: lighter applications, like abiwrd instead of libreoffice
cyd: still 'new' aren't they?
@ActionParsnip humble bundle android 4
@ActionParsnip some games are old, some new...
cyd: so aren't they the latest games?
@ActionParsnip no
cyd: sure, they are released this year.....
been playing Rochard here. ;)
@ActionParsnip that's not latest...
You're being silly cyd hehe
ok thanks
cyd: released this year isn't latest...interesting
Games released this year (2012) aren't "new" ? :\
nope
2012 is how many months old? (giggle)
michealPW: who knew
LOL Actions
:P
@ActionParsnip new games are coming every month...
hello
but it think you are still right...
but the old ones are still there in the package ?
Meh iunno. I just play games that are fun
Some are from the 1990s, haha some are from 2011..
:\
@ActionParsnip because the latest games are coming out on android and ios... and it's all linux under the hood
hi everybody
hi @Bleu
cyd: ios sure is not :P
hi, could u help me 1 mn plz ?
@ActionParsnip so you are right... but the hardcore games are only on windows... maybe xbox or ps3... etc
cyd: i'm fully aware of android
cyd: i found a blank cd-rw cd :)
cyd: 700 mb
cyd: but games do run and run well in Linux
just installed 12.10 but doesn't seem to like my oldie SiS videocard. Are there know issues with this or is it just a question of LLVM being too demanding?
@Bleu just pop the question :P
@ActionParsnip yeah yeah i believe you
@josesantos try archlinux instead
i'm connection in root@dsqlkjdsq.qsdj.Abo.fr
@josesantos download your own driver... or program it yourself LOL
i dont know how to change it :)
josesantos: I'd install a light DE. You may need an xorg.conf file to make it load the driver needed
someone told me i must chance smthng in my client settings but i didnt find what
ActionParsnip: I've installed xfce
ios is objective-c and html5 ;)
can't get passed a blank screen
@chris_33 good luck at installing...
josesantos: you'll need the xorg.conf file :).
I figured as much. But is the driver available via apt-get?
@michealPW ios is a derivate of unix... http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_iOS
@Bleu what distro do you use ?
@michealPW so ios is similar to linux...
cyd: you don't need to @at anyone so they can ready you :) i'm getting dizzy @_@
bt
the card is detected fine. Why would X complain?
I't seemed to work on 12.04, or so I've read
cyd: UNIX != Linux...
xangua ok sorry dude ;-) @@
@Bleu BackTrack ?
^^ (now you'll think i'm a n00b who want to crack a wep)
yes
Bleu_: then you should ask in #backtrack-linux
:)
josesantos: do you have the headers for the kernel installed?
michaelPW ok ok sorry
cyd: Not to mention, a kernel does not make an OS. I don't want to get into a big rant or anything but I mean things like the compiler, the shared libraries and stuff make more of an impact than the kernel. The kernel just exposes functions in hardware.
almoxarife: not sure. I installed ubuntu server and after xubuntu-desktop
The shared libraries use these functions to implement routines that programs use to do neat things. All iOS apps are either objective-c using Apple's build-tools and a bunch of objective-c libraries or they're html5 web-apps parsed by WebKit.
you know stuff , michealPW :)
josesantos: why not just install Xubuntu?
what packages to get a good wpa wordlist?
ActionParsnip, i did it's empty now
A lot of apple fanbois wont want to admit, but MOST iOS apps are actually web-apps... html5 boys (muscle)
ActionParsnip: didn't I do that?
michealPW thx for the correction. i'm still busy digging into my OS-lecture ;-)
Bleu_: so, doesn't mean you get to ask here
josesantos: in terminal 'sudo apt-get install linux-headers-generic' assuming they are not there they will install, may help with old cards
hehe sorry, I didn't mean to sound arrogant or anything (blush)
backtrack is an ubuntu :)
Bleu_: backtrack support is entirely separate to ubuntu
Bleu_: it's not, it backtrack
I love technology, hehe, I like talking about these things. I'm a web-developer, so android ios and blackberry is big on my radar :)
almoxarife: thanks
michealPW i still have this 600+ pages almanach to read through about Operation Systems... ahaha
Bleu_: similarly, ubuntu is based on Debian, but if you ask for ubuntu support in #debian you will be pointed here
android makes me angry
hehe cyd sounds exciting! :)
if you have to ask for help with backtrack on ubuntu you are not ready for backtrack
Zigouigoui: you aren't using Ubuntu, so you aren't supported here
Sorry, xangua :\
another question, to change runlevel on boot all I need is the number at the end of the linux entry on grub correct?
androind is linux kernel?
xangua: hehe in my defense.. We STARTED on-topic :)
thank you really, sweet guys ;)
It just kinda, well, you know how it goes :)
josesantos: you can add the word:  text
ah, so runlevel 3 would not work?
Zigouigoui: its how the channel works. NONE of the 'Ubuntu based distros' are supported here, ONLY canonical releases
josesantos:  most likely not.
Zigouigoui: Backtrack is not a canonical release so isn't supported here
would text option give me multi user?
michealPW hmm ok so what ubuntu distro are you using? (to get back to ubuntu, ahahah)
because right now I'm on runlevel 1
oldgettingsomewh: I can answer your question with a question? Linux kernel is the interface for your PC hardware right? Well, what pc hardware is in a cell phone? hehe :)
josesantos:  yes. it just keeps lightdm.whateverdm from starting
cyd: Ubuntu 12.04 LTS! (muscle)
every other hangs me on X
ok cool. I'll be right back then ;)
If I continue I'll probably get kicked </rant>
hehehe!
:P
guys, nice talk... europe here, says good night to all of you :)
don't mess with the ops...
LOL
Does anyone know if there is an X11 support channel?
ther kernel is an interface to the hardware - the 'pc' term is incorrect. ;)
You can buy Arm based Desktop machines.
haha dr_willis, touche :P
ARM processors are so powerful these days :\
OpenSorce: try #xorg
anyone know a good ubuntu go to guy to heat up this issue?
oldgettingsomewh: ask and the channel will reply
ActionParsnip, yep found it thanks :-)
Hi back
i need  a good site to learn more about the terminal commands
like a huge linux wiki
is their some ubuntu wiki as extensive a arch wiki
What's the best way to do mesh networking using Ubuntu?
evbogue: there is no single best way to do anything, in any OS
ActionParsnip, what an awesome statement, may I quote you?
What's that best bot thing?
OpenSorce: sure
ahh so a bunch of bots is what you want lol??
evbogue: Can't you install those OLPC packages, I thought those were all originally developed with Ubuntu in mind?
evbogue: Sorry I don't have a more direct answer for you..
maybee mr basic instructions can help?
michaelPW: I'll look into what OLPC is doing, thank you.
evbogue: http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/338
i know ddrescue can take upwards of 50 hours when splitting, but i'm running it on my 60GB ssd, and it's says the error size is 9223 PB, and the ipos/opos is way above 60gb (306523MB).  21 hours since the last successful read.  is it going to just go on forever in an infinte loop since the size seems to be reported incorrectly?
OpenSorce: I don't understand why people think there could even be a 'best' its preposterous
evbogue: Sorry maybe I'm thinking of something else. The first I heard/learned about mesh networking was from the OLPC (One Laptop Per-Child) project which was supposed to use a Linux system like Ubuntu (Since it was free) but I'm not sure what happened after Intel and Microsoft got influence in the project :\
ActionParsnip, because any time you go into tech support and ask for help people ask "why are you doing it that way, thats dumb!" and so people get obsessed with best practice
michealPW i've heard of an tablet experiment recently
so I have a usb drive that has different OSs on it.  I made an ISO of this drive.  I'd like to be able to modify this iso and copy it to a usb when I need to.  copying I can do, and modification I can too (using MagicISO), the problem is that if I rewrite the iso using magiciso it looses it's ability to boot.  Is there a 1) a way to modify iso files without rewriting them OR 2) make an iso bootable
Does anyone know where one can get the pastebin source thats on paste.ubuntu.com ?
michealPW they dropped some tablets in uneducated areas of africa and recollected them after a 3 months period of use
blackness: how do you mean?
I'd like to host a copy of it, so i can use it as a private pastebin.
blackness: ahh I see
i have one, but it doesnt accept pipe commands or anything..i have to copy and paste..and paste.ubuntu.com accepts piped commands
it seems for aynalization and implementation?
blackness: sudo apt-get install pastebinit
I just discovered this and installed it yesterday :)
thats what i want, but for my own http server...
i know what pastebinit is.
Yea I haven't read a lot about that but I read a headline about it on slashdot cyd hehe
i need the HOST side of that.
blackness: http://www.linux-magazine.com/Online/Blogs/Productivity-Sauce/Host-Your-Own-Secure-Pastebin-with-ZeroBin
thats more like a mailing list forum
http://blackness.sytes.net:81/paste/ is what i got already
i can use curl, but i cant do alot of text
Is anyone running wine 1.5.17 (from the ubuntu wine ppa) on 64 bit in here?
Or wine in general on 64 bit?
cyd
chris_33 jo sup?
chris_33 everything went your way?
cyd: i have a problem. i stoped the install sudo get lubuntu and now it wont let me install it the way you told me to now
cyd: and the linux wont even mount my cd rom so i can burn it to cd rom
KBentley57: just install it and the deps will be handled
you dont mount a cd to burn things..
cyd: i messed up my linux so i can't burn anythung to cd rom and it wont let me change to lubuntu
hmm chris_33 just build the usb-stick
i put in my usb stick and it wont even delete anything on it
ActionParsnip, I did that, but I'm having some problems with frame rates, apparantly it stems from only having the 64 bit amd catalyst drivers, and most of the wine stuff being 32 bit. I'm not able to use any of my cards openGL extensions so it seems
hmm
sounds strange
do you still have windows on your laptop?
try to burn the cd in windows
KBentley57: what video chip do you use?
ActionParsnip, I've been on the wine irc for a couple days trying to figure it out, plus there are tons of posts about the same thing over the web
ActionParsnip, AMD 6970
cyd: it wont mount usb stick now
KBentley57: and what is the output of:   lsb_release -sc
cyd: now it's saying that there is not enough space on the usb stick to format. what the heck.
Is anyone using mesh networking on their Ubuntu device(s)?
it's a  8  gig usb stick
lol
try to format the stick per terminal
ActionParsnip, you could have just asked what I'm running :P
you can use dd to image the iso directly to the usb also.
ActionParsnip, quantal
cyd: ok i just tried another usb key and it's working. man did linux break my other usb key ?
no i don't think so ;-)
KBentley57: its a one-covers-all command :)
Try just reformating the old key again, chris_33. Use a different filesystem, maybe ext2? Iunno what a good fs would be for usb keys hehe I use Windows to format them fat honestly
'cause I don't know a better way to get the most flexability out of them, just plugging them into any system
I use FAT32 on my thumb drives michealPW
Yea
how do i know if a device is connected with usb 2.0 vs slower?
I just set up a new system with a dedicated partition for filesharing mounted at /storage what permissions do need to set do make it work for a samba server share?
Hi, how can I burn an ISO image onto a DVD?
lgc, with software, for example with k3b

hello
am i understand right that all cron that are run on a box are there /var/spool/cron/crontabs ?
crontabs are amazing. I reset my network permission with them to clean up any anomalies
hi
Just trying to install ubuntu 12.10 on a new laptop which has windows 7. Unable to boot from dvd.
bye
The mi on my acer aspire laptop hasn't worked for several updates now.  I'm on 12.04 and it worked around the time 12.04 was released to the general public.  Not sure which update hosed it, but it was several months ago.  Speakers are fine, but both internal and a mic plugged into the jack are not.
jud, is it the new "don't boot from anything but your windows partition" scheme Microsoft is implemeting with some vendors?
does anyone use circular scrolling on their touchpad? It seems very poor to me on ubuntu
hi im chris, my facebook is https://www.facebook.com/TehlreacXteuDs?ref=tn_tnmn
on windows, the motion is a lot more natural, on ubuntu, I need to make a wider motion, and even then, the scrollbar still jumps all over the place
honestly, touchpad support in linux in general seems very very poor
amanda: I don't know. but if I run the exe from inside widows a menue comes up with a boot from disk selection. When I select that it says that ubuntu needs to install a boot program which is not required with most systems. So I did that and then I'm given the option to boot ubuntu or windows and then it will boot from the dvd but I wanted to do the side by side installation??
the hardware makers are often the ones not releaseing specs or giving support to the  Linux devs
aren't synaptics drivers open source?
when everything has to be reverse engeinnered it can get touchy,
X.org also i belive did some big changes to the touchpad drivers  within the last year or so,  Broke some things fixed some things.
probably to introduce some semblance of multitouch support
the drivers written by the linux devs are open sourced.. but i dont know what sort of info Synaptic the comany has actually released
what's the keyboard short cut to fill out some ones name when addressing a message?
anybody know how to sync ubuntu-one to a comp
My touchpad won't scroll horizontally since some time back.
try apt-cache search voip  on your system
Regardless, whatever the reason why it doesn't work right, it's still making it very difficult to stick with linux on my laptop
This laptop came with Ubuntu and Ubuntu has a lot of flaws, annoyances, but Windows seems reeeally f-cked now. It even has ads in some applications. Like Office.
Can't say I see the same in windows 8, but okay
But then again, Ubuntu Store or what it's called has ads too.
either way, I'm sticking with windows 8 on my laptop until touchpad support improves
Buy this and that application.
@chris_33
chris_33 still there?
Ubuntu has this babysitter perspective of it's users that I don't like. Otherwise it's okay. The package system is the best. ppa-stuff is brilliant.
all I want is better circular scrolling and not broken multi-monitor support for touchpads, really
I use gentoo on my desktop, and yeah the babysitting does annoy me too
Small things can break a deal.
any laptop with windows 8 is so new i would be suprised theres not more issues with it under ubuntu.
compared to gentoo, that is
amanda: I wasn't aware of that monopolising scam does it sound like this machine fits the bill?
dr_willis, my laptop didn't come with windows 8
it
How is everyone tonight?
it's just a standard run of the mill machine
Slackware is the best for non-babysitting. It can't be updated I think. You're on your own after installing.
Dont see much point in upgradeing a system to Win8 either. but i dont plan on buying a new laptop any time soon.
Whats the setting I need to change so that Shift+NumPad 1 highlights to the end of a row (on a laptop number pad) rather than registering as a 1 ?
i tried ip and name
I'm actually very much happy with my windows 8 upgrade, but I wanted to try ubuntu since I got invited to the steam beta, and only ubuntu is supported for that
i want to a coder of linux, where can i start , some one tell me
rosbuntu, coder for mp3 likes codec or coding term ?
coding term
do you know any programming languages already?
nope
rosbuntu, go to kernel.org and download them, learn them if you can ....
if you want to learn to program.. and know nothing about programing.. id say learn pythin
Python
well, go pick up a book on python or perl
Rosbuntu: learn to write little bash scripts, think about learning python or ruby
OCaml.
is python hard to learn?
Nope.
Rosbuntu: on average, no
i see, so what wud i able to do if i learn pythone
almost linux kernel part was written with C
This was an interesting package: wikipediafs.
Rosbuntu: if you're a raw beginner, search for the HTML version of the online book, "Learn Python the Hard Way" by Zed Shaw, or "Think Python" which is also free online
Rosbuntu, I've got the Oreilly python book.  I'm leaving for Myrtle Beach tomorrow (driving down from Maine)  Are you on my way?
python isn't hard because 90% of the code you need is already written
rosbuntu, thats depends on your brain and your capability
when using the windows installer, is 30gb the max install size? does that mean ill only have 30gb when using it?
Rosbuntu: Reading code will make you learn it. And writing code. Try to mimik.
like, the first 20+ lines of your python script will be just importing a bajillion libraries that does all of the work for you
i see, do u guys know about mirc software?
Aren't a lot of the scripts in /etc/init.d python?
I dont see what mirc has to do with linux
can i make  mirc software learning python?
Isn't mirc the irc client?
Rosbuntu: The Hitchhiker's Guide to Python: http://docs.python-guide.org/en/latest/
it is
Rosbuntu:  it would be an 'IRC' Client.
rosbuntu, sure
yep
im pretty sure this guy only wants to make mirc scripts
mIRC is a specific client.
lol no
actually i want to make a mirc like light sotware, which will work on linux
you want to make an IRC client?
theres dozens of irc clients allready out there.
Rosbuntu: Python books: a list of free resources http://pythonbooks.revolunet.com/
Sazpaimon yep
why?
You should set your sights a bit lower to begin with i imagine...
what's wrong with irssi, or xchat?
Sazpaimon: I love irssi
what problem are you attempting to solve here?
Sazpaimon they r not that much flexible like mirc
Sazpaimon: using irssi right now
yes there are
most linux irc cleints are 100x more flexiable them mIRC is
Sazpaimon i see
dr_willis omg really?
i think rosbuntu was not enough have knowledge on them
weechat is amazing in its flexavbiltyu
just because you can't write silly mirc scripts in them doesn't make them not flexible
Ron Paul uses Ubuntu http://youtu.be/d-N5adYM7Kw?t=4m16s
Rosbuntu:  your experience with IRC clients is quite limited.
dr_willis yep thats true though
basically you're saying "I can't use this mirc script so it isn't flexible"
Rosbuntu:  WeeChat for example is 'scriptable' in like 4 differnt languages
all useable at the same time
xchat is scriptable in at least 10 languages
dr_willis is it light like mirc
share: Ron Paul uses BitchX, why don't you?
ruby, python, lua, perl, c, and a bunch others
cause I use Arch
'light' is a vague term.. and I imagine comapred to WeeChat - that mIRC is quite bloated
hi guys, can anyone help me please, should ubuntu automaticaly detect my usb wintv-hvr tv tuner card?
ahh i see
share: yeah but Arch is a Linux distro, BitchX is an IRC client
cause I use irssi
share: Ron Paul uses irssi too
i use irssi
Ron Paul uses Ubuntu for our safety
ok lemme download a python ebook
Ron Paul bum fucked your momma
share: Ron Paul also writes amazing Haskell code
trying to install ubuntu 12.10 on new laptop. At first won't boot from dvd. Run the exe in windows, select "help me boot from cd" option, it says it needs to install boot program which is not normally required. I do that and it gives me the option when restarting then to boot windows or ubuntu from disk but how do I do the side by side install this way? It seems to be all or nothing. If it was my machine I'd say screw windows but it aint
share and wyclif take the chit chat elsewhere please
bazhang: no "chit chat" actually, answering support question re: irssi kthxbye
bye
wyclif, Ron Paul has nothing to do with this. so yes, it's offtopic
bazhang: nope. it was about irssi. thanks.

L3top: and thanks
trying to install ubuntu 12.10 on new laptop. At first won't boot from dvd. Run the exe in windows, select "help me boot from cd" option, it says it needs to install boot program which is not normally required. I do that and it gives me the option when restarting then to boot windows or ubuntu from disk. Is it still possible to do the side by side install?
jud:  i imagine it should be.
the installer from booting the cd. does a dual boot install.
dr_willis: know how?
if its doing a normal install and not a wubi install then it is setting up dual booting.
dr_willis: ok but it won't install from the boot menu, it will only boot the dvd and only after the wubi package did something to the computer.
no idea on that. I just boot the dvd and install normally and it sets up grub.
Im not sure what epxeical boot stuff it put on the hd. but the installer should put grub on it.
After booting from the dvd I can install it from there and I can select partitions but I don't know where windows is?
linux will need to be on its own partions. You may need to resize any existing windows partions or delete some if the HD is allready partioned  to use 4 primary partions.
I tend to use a seperate hard drive for linux onmy desktop machines
dr_willis: You have a lot of desktop machines? o_o
been slimming the #;s down. ;)
this is a laptop, it shows the 4 partitions, just not sure how to avoid wiping windows
jud:  #1 thing to do first woule be SURE you have a windows backup/restore dvd set made
OK, cheers!
jud:  windows machines often come with 4 primary partions by default - that wont work. You will have to remove one to allow extended/logical partions
i've got 500mb drives as RAID-0 .. cannot get the system to mount automatically.  Tired setting the "NVIDIA RAID" which shows up but no go, tried mounting both /dev/sda-1 and /dev/sda2 (the two 50MB drive.  Help anyone?
how do i set the primary monitor? full screen apps chose the wrong monitor
display settings is unhelpful as usual
jud: my lappy (toshiba) came with two partitions dedicated to win, the one that ran it and the restore partition, dont toss that one either
crqd:  what video chipset?
back again.. any know if the packaged version of fglrx installs both the 64 bit and 32 bit libs on a 64 bit system?
fglrx-updates radeon 6850
Ok it has 3 ntfs and 1 fat they seem to be arbitrarily named..bugga
crqd:  the ati controlpanel tool for the fglrx drivers may be the place to look then
jud:  ive seen pcs with a windows boot partion, the main windows partion, a restore partion. then a restore-data image partiion
dr_willis, was that towards me or crqd
doesn't have option to set primary :/
dr_willis: what would the corresponding size ratio be do you think?
I'll figure it out..cheers
using mountmanager 0.2.6, iI trigger the sdb nvidia raid member and the sdc nvidia raid member both to "automatically mount" but still no auto mount of RAID.
/usr/share/gdm/autostart/LoginWindow/conky-logon.desktop
can someone help me to fix this problem wit ubuntu   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RngVKlErD0Q
with*
Hey quick question... In Gnome I used to be able to put my  .desktop files in an autostart folder and they would launch  when the login screen opened.  How do I do this with lightdm  in xubuntu 12.04?
Well I'm glad THAT was productive. ^
K1rk|Work: what autostart folder are you talking about?
the ~/.config/autostart/ thing should work in kde, gnome, unity and xfce as far as i know
Pr0B0t: I can't read the screen to see what's going on. Are you having trouble booting an Ubuntu installation, or are you having trouble booting an Ubuntu liveCD ?
pretty sure it works with lxde also
right, but they won't launch AT the login screen, only AFTER login
dr_willis: yes, it works in xubuntu
jrib: /usr/share/gdm/autostart/LoginWindow
jrib: not present anymore in xubuntu 12.04, probably because of no gdm
K1rk|Work: what are you trying to start?
lightdm has similer features. or you can use gdm
kirk, just creat it
jrib: Conky
dougbb: wtf why will that work?
conky on the login screen? ;) how cute.
There's a generic autostart
K1rk|Work: that should be something that launches after login use ~/.config/autostart/
kirk, you can also go to settings manager -> system -> session and startup
dr_willis: we use it to give status info, like "connected to network" "ready to login" etc so our end users can know what's up if login failes
i install ubuntu and when it start after loading it show desktop image menu bar(w/o any menu) and mouse  and then some GPU loading or something like that and  some channel failed 2   channel failed 3...
I had xearth set up once  to start with GDM. ;)
Lemme google it, 'cause I can't remember the location. Is it ~/.xsession/autostart ?
jrib: it's for login troubleshooting info
K1rk|Work: what?
Oh wait maybe jrib knows :P
~/.config/autostart
jrib: We use it to tell our users whether the computer is ready to login, or still waiting on an IP, etc
jrib: so it should run @ login screen
jrib: we've always been able to do it before
im not sure if the old GDM is still in the repos or not.
K1rk|Work: so conky draws over the login window?  yeah you could always just use gdm...
michealPW: where is the generic autostart?
GDM wont use the generic system auto start dir when it starts up as far as i know.
dr_willis: we are using lightdm now, not gdm...
 /etc/xdg/autostart/
dr_willis: that only works AFTER login
you can install gdm if you wanted.
dr_willis: not particularly...
K1rk|Work: why?
jrib: why what?
kirk, you want to run something _before_ the user logs in?
Should lubuntu have a launcher on the desktop by default?
yes, plore
to the left
K1rk|Work: why can't you use gdm?
lubuntu has a panel at the bottom  and a start type button at the bottom left
jrib: why would we want to?  lightdm is preinstalled and already works
because you know how to do what you want with gdm ;)
Im sure its doable in lightdm also.. i just dont know what config in /etc/ to mess with
I have that, I was wondering if I could get a launcher similar to what ubuntu has.  Not necessarily looking for something that looks as nice, just a similar concept.
I can use any of those in lubuntu?
hi who knows what package gets installed with 12.10 that moves common user /tmp files into /run/user/$username ?
K1rk|Work: try /usr/share/gnome/autostart/ just a guess.  You might have to dig into source code to be sure...
actually that's probably not used at all
(for login anyway)
Does the desktop version of Ubuntu come with remote terminal access by default or do I need to set it up?
walterwoj1: set it up/enable it
set it up
Ugh. I wanna make a useful utility for Ubuntu. Do you know of any?
gustav__: to do what?
depends what lsng
lang
Any lang really.
jrib: Something useful.
gustav__: that's pretty vague...
Port  tyhe C64 game Wavy Navy to Ubuntu :)
gustav__: you want to make one? How about a customizable indicator that lets peope define menu options and corresponding commands. the backend (which you write) sets up all the dbus foo
that would be super handy
Hwkiller: In Unity? The left bar thing? That can't be done in any way? I thought it could.
so basically, an indicator generator
jrib: Thanks, Is there any remote desktop software for ubuntu?
gustav__: no, indicators are the things in the upperleft
er, right*
media, messaging, system, etc
walterwoj1: if you just need a remote shell, use ssh
can anyone help with increasing the partition size in ubuntu 12.04, i have 3 partitions,  one 262 GB on which windows is installed , one 139 GB for general data, and a 80.92 GB as ubuntu file system, i basically want to resize the ubuntu filesystem size and take a few gigs from the general data partition
Hwkiller: And get input for that through dbus?
gustav__: well, everything with indicators is basically dbus
dr_willis: I haven't played that. It looks more advanced than I thought.
jrib: SSH is not available by default though is it (I don't want to have to go out to the garage again tonight to access the server.)
Hwkiller: I don't run Unity.
Ansi__: gparted can do that, just be sure to back up all your data first :)
walterwoj1: it's not available by default, no.  Neither is vnc enabled by default
(That makes me sound like a very bad person.)
nm found it, libpam-xdg-support
dang
is it a GUI or command line
evening folks ,  are  selinux or apparmor part of the default install ?
Ansi__: gui, you can install it from the software center
Pelo: Yep, AppArmor is.
ok, now topic: what do the permissions on a SAMBA share need to be so it is remotely shared and locally accessable to the running user?
a user can right click on a folder and share it.. then you could see what it setup. ;)
guys, anyone have an amd video card and also run wine?
*puts hand up*
michealPW, do you have steam installed
as long as samba is installed
Nope
you can share files
I run Steam on win7. Should work fine with the latest fglrx drivers (If your card isn't legacy, that is)
On linux, I mean ^
dougbb it all speaks of sda4 , 5 etc etc once i edit or merge, will the boot thing get automatically be updated
Ansi__: if you change partitions you'll have to update fstab
how to do that?
michealPW, what video card do you have, if you don't mind me asking, and which games.  I'm trying to troubleshoot a l4d2 issue
walterwoj1: You might want to go out to the garage and install ssh, though. That way regardless of the problem you run into later on you could also at the last resort ssh into the server and correct the problem ( Without having to go back to the garage :P )
I installed SAMBA and setup a share at /storage (separate partition) but I cannot work in that folder as my user.
michealPW: LOL, good idea!
Anyone else got an idea that's not Unity related maybe? Something I can do? Create?
dougbb please guide me here.. i have a total of 5sda's being displayed..
Ansi__: there are a number of things you need to know if you're going to successfully change partitions on a functioning system ... how important is it to you to make these changes?
KBentley57: I have an ATI Radeon HD 6550D and use fglrx v9.0 with PlayOnLinux 4.8. Perhaps that's your mistake? Are you installing Wine directly and running l4d2, or are you using PlayOnLinux to manage Wine for your?
I use POL with great success..
The Samba-docs package has several books on using samba that show examples of setting up shares for specific needs
dougbb i need to resize the sda2 and take like 50 gb and add to sda5 which is my ubuntu filesystem, i want to do this as there is no more meory left on the ubuntu partition.. ive deleted loads of stuff but still
michealPW, I'm using wine to have steam installed, and installed l4d2 from steam
walterwoj1:  what filesystem is that partion?
Ansi__: Ok, if ALL you are doing is resizing existing partitions, not adding or deleting partitions, then you can just do that with gparted without having to worry about changing anything else
dr_willis: ext4 I believe.  I have confirmed that it is accessable to my windows machine, just not to my local user on that machine.
how do I check if apparmor is running ?
you will need to make use of groups, or set up the user to own the directory, or use some open permissions on it via chmod i imagine
Pelo: # apparmor_status
doughbb (Sigh!).. thanks.. but how do i do it in here.. i just want to make sure that i dont do anything wrong.. so if sda2 is the drive i want to reze and give 50 gigs to sda5 , should i be unmounting both or what?
gustav__, tanks
Ansi__:  i find it best to use gparted from a live cd.
Ansi__: are sda2 and sda5 next to each other on the disk?
dr_willis what difference would that make?
Ansi__:  moving space from a primary to a extended/logical partion may need to be done in steps. Shrink the first. then enlarge the exteended, then extend the logical
dougbb what do u mean next to each other?
Ansi__: dr_willis is right, you should make the actual changes from a live cd
Ansi__:  Nothing will be mounted from a live cd hopefully
swap Might get auto mounted dependng on what live cd
KBentley57: My advice is to try your luck with POL. The difference is PlayOnLinux has a database of a tonne of games/programs and what version of wine/libraries work best with them..
how do i make a live CD?
the gparted live cd is worth having.
Ansi__: I mean just what I said ... are there partitions in between sda2 and sda5?
michealPW, I'll give it a go, it is free right?
dougbb can i show u the screenshot somehow??
since upgrading to 12.04 I can no longuer access my share from my xp machine,  or anyother for that matter,   seems to be a problem with permission but i've just spent an hour in #samba and no joy , does anyone have a clue ?
sudo fdisk -l | pastebinit   ;) may show needed info
Ansi__: sure, take a screenshot, and post it on line
KBentley57: Yea for sure. Checkout this link, here..
dougbb any particular website?
middle click paste stopped woring anoyone ghave that probn
working*
Ansi__: do what dr_willis suggested
KBentley57: http://www.playonlinux.com
dougbb http://paste.ubuntu.com/1364133/
Ansi__: what you want to do won't work
the only partition you can give space to sda5 from is sda4
why?? if u see sda3 is an extended part?
dougbb and sda5 is nothing but same as sda3..isnt it?
Ansi__: the only way you can do what you want to do is if the partitions are adjacent
Ansi__: the only solution to your problem is going to be back up all your data, and then start from scratch
dougbb sir sda5 is actually part of sda3
Ansi__: yes, I get that
if i can show u the gpart snapshot then i can explain what i mean
if you knowing about extended partition, that is
Ansi__: I know what you want to do, you can't do it
What should I use spare CPU cycles for?
gparted can move partitions as well; shrink sda2, expand the extended partition, slide sda4 to the left, resize sda5. it will take ages, though
gustav__: don't use them for anything, save electricity :)
Meh...
My computer is a very bad problem solver. It rarely solves a problem at all.
Hi, i've tried to install ubuntu 12.10 to my PC but i keep getting the error: "microcode: failed to load file amd-ucode/microcode_amd.bin"... Does anyone know how i can solve this?
brjannc: that type of work is rather complex, and dangerously prone to error ...  if it works at all, which is not guaranteed .... it would be safer to back up the data and start from scratch
dougbb so how do u suggest i do it???
dougbb, if the data is backed up, there's no risk in trying it.
Ansi__: back up your data, and reinstall
dougbb sir .. for starters can u let me merge the sda4 into 5.. is that possible??
brjannc: since the data being backed up has to be done anyway, re-installing will probably be faster and safer in any case :)
Ansi__: you can, but that will change the partition name, so it's likely that you would have to update the OS after you're done
dougbb, I personally would do exactly what you're suggesting, but some people are more attached to their current setups than I am :)
dougbb that is if i want to merge , but what if i want to take just a portion of it then???
Ansi__: well then you would shrink sda4, and then expand sda5
how do i do that???
Ansi__: we're going in circles here
dougbb how do i do that??? also that sda4 has data in it.. (i dont want that data)
dougbb please dont mind.. i am new to linux and ubuntu i need help sorry for bothering u so much
dougbb i dont see expand and shrink options in gparted.. where would i find them.. or what is the procedure to do it?
Ansi__: it's no problem, we were all new once ... but I think I've run out of ways to explain it to you, sorry
dougbb so u mean i cannot do it while i am logged in from ubuntu? or it cant be done?
gustav__: There's a couple programs for making use of spare CPU cycles.. Ones about aliens which is kinda silly but another is meant to help cancer research, I think it's called "Folder@Home" or something.
Hi, shouldn't dpkg -l list only installed packages? I tried dpkg -l '*inet*' and I got both
ansi_, do it from live session,
gustav__: http://folding.stanford.edu/English/HomePage
Ansi__: I think that you would be making a huge mistake by trying to make these changes on your live system. The only recommendation I have for you is to back up your data, and reinstall from scratch. If you insist on making these changes, perhaps someone else can help you.
just trying again: i've tried to install ubuntu 12.10 to my PC but i keep getting the error: "microcode: failed to load file amd-ucode/microcode_amd.bin"... Does anyone know how i can solve this?
dougbb please can you then help me with identifying what to and how to delete stuff so i can increase space on my ubuntu??
michealPW: Trying it.
Ansi__: I've heard good things about bleachbit, but I haven't tried it myself yet
dougbb i have already emptied my downloads folder.. but i feel so tied up or scared to touch anyother folder?? are there any temp or unwanted folders that i can let go?
It's folding. Yay.
if i'm chrooting to a partition JUST to grub-install, do I still need to mount /dev and /proc etc?
gunarm1: grub-install needs to access the disc devices
Cool!
that's /dev
Mine's not folding :(
oh right
thanks, i should have thought about it for 2 seconds
michealPW: You have to start it. :)
I think it's my firewall or router, though. Hrmm lemme see here
(rofl) yea I started it
I came up with something that might be useful, at least for me: Quality Assurance tools. For the desktop.
dougbb thanks for all your time.. i really appreciate all that :)
sounds like a marketing term. ;)
dr_willis: Are you unhappy?
been flooded at work recently with all these silly terms and phrases like that this week,
Hmm. I see.
how can i make my cd drive open without the button?
the eject command brandon420
brandon420, push a paperclip in that little hole next :)
guess he pushed it in the wrong home
Power outlet.
He's gonna have a lot of complaints with QA.
'do not stick paperclips in this hole' stickers

anyone here using libreoffice ?
why when inserting image the image quaility will become bad
Cause your a cat :-)

I want to bring package lists to some offline computer which has exact ubuntu install with the online one. I copy lists from /var/lib/apt/lists but then software center won't open at all
Hmm. cant say ive ever looked at the files in lists.
what can I do?
This is a tricky question: Where can I get/where is X11 libs for Ocaml?
theres the apt-on-cd thing ehsan  thats often used
dr_willis I'll check that
Hi
dr_willis, it only has main packages not multiverse and universe
gustav__: seeing as a -nox version exists, I'd guess the regular "ocaml" package includes them
if a specific Ubuntu Release is EOL, does it mean i cannot use it further?
jrib: Doesn't.
gustav__: can you give an example...?
kaushal:  you can use it. but the update servers for it will get moved to some archive-servers and its unsupported by this channel
kaushal:  better to upgrade befor somthing goes EOL
dr_willis: ok
dr_willis: archive-servers does not get updated?
no more security updated after somnthing goes eol
so no.,
jrib: http://rosettacode.org/wiki/Window_creation/X11#OCaml
ok
is there a specific reason to have EOL for a particular Ubuntu Version?
for example 18 months
not sure i understand that
kaushal: Maybe to make big new changes. But that's pure speculation.
theres really no point in spending manpower  keeping some old rease updated after thers been so many reelases since then
But that would be EOS - End-of-Service.
stick to LTS releases if you wantto minimize the hassles of release changes
dr_willis: ok
or upgrade/clean install with each new release every 6 mo. ;)
dr_willis: i prefer clean install
since it would break things
I prefer a solid system that never needs updates. But no one cares about my preferences.
any specific reason to have quick releases in every six months
gustav__: you can have that, just unplug the ethernet cable :)
jrib: ocamlfind list doesn't list any x, x11 or xlib. I'm not using -nox.
dougbb: :/
dougbb: Keep it civil.
gustav__: didn't you see the smiley?
gustav__: I see plenty of x-related files in dpkg -L ocaml; but I'm not familiar enough with ocaml to say for sure what is happening
jrib: I don't (12.10.) I do see labltk though, which might do.
so you guys just cant help
surprise libreoffice is not that ppppppppppppppppppopular
I need some help stopping a Apache2 server.
I'm getting this error
sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 stop
oops
not that
apache2: Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using 127.0.1.1 for ServerName
JustBelieving: don't use /etc/init.d/ directly...
jrib: either way i've tried other way
same message
JustBelieving: I know.
jrib: Okay my bad. Spamming the chat.
JustBelieving: you can read apache documentation about fqdn
JustBelieving: I'm just saying that, regardless, you shouldn't use /etc/init.d/ directyl.
JustBelieving: did you try `sudo apache2ctl stop`?
jrib: I understand. What should I use?
~$ sudo service apache2 stop
jrib: Yes I have.
JustBelieving: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP see the troubleshooting section
aprel: yes i have
JustBelieving: if you're really pressed, you can type `ps aux`, look for all apache processes, then `sudo kill -9` each process id number.
 /quit
oops
Aprel: apache likely stopped anyway, despite the message
Okay followed it and I just tried stopping it. with graceful-stop
the message i got:  sudo service apache2 graceful-stop
 * Stopping web server apache2                                                  httpd (no pid file) not running
                                                                         [ OK ]
I downloaded 7zip and the add-on attached. but after I extracted a rar file, the doc files inside were in messy code. Are there any solutions?
CrossPacific: what does "in messy code" mean...?
try the rar and rar non free packages. or winrar in wine
with symbols and unknown characters
I downloaded both rar and rar non free packages
CrossPacific: the original data is probably corrupt then
or some weirdness with how it was made
but I extracted it in Windows and it worked
try winrar in wine
CrossPacific: can you open the files you extracted in windows ok?
what kind of file are the docs? txt? Html?
docx and doc
yes i can
and what are you using to open them in linux?
libreoffice
I can open the files I extracted in windows
CrossPacific: can you verify that the checksums on the files opened in windows, and the files opened in linux are the same?
It sounds like the formatting has too much excitement for libreoffice
CrossPacific: can take the the files you extracted in windows, copy them to linux, and do they open ok on linux?
They are the same
.... which isn't hard to do if the author used fancy stuff in windows
CrossPacific: Ok, then you can't use libreoffice ... you'll have to use ms office in wine, or edit them in windows
jrib: I can open the files I extracted in Windows and open them with Libreoffice in Linux
dougbb: The files I extracted from Windows can be open in Linux with libreoffice
CrossPacific: that's pretty weird.  Do you get different results if you use "unrar e FILE.rar" in a terminal?
CrossPacific: then the checksums of the 2 files are not the same
CrossPacific: how did you check them?
dougbb:I opened them separately in two systems.
CrossPacific: I asked you if the checksums on the extracted files are the same, did you actually check them?
as in, using md5sum (or whatever hash you prefer)
dougbb: I am sorry I am a beginner in here and I don't understand what is checksums.
CrossPacific: then you should have asked rather than saying yes :)
* gustav__ throws the channel into gdb to have a closer look.
do you have the files opened from both systems on your linux box?
dougbb: Yes, I do
ok, then run this against each extracted file:  md5sum file
change "file" to be the real name of each file
then compare the results
I suspect that they will be different
dougbb: Do you mean I should type in md5sum file in the terminal?
yes
put the files in some dir.. cd to the dir.. md5sum *    should do it for every file
easier to compare  tht way ;)
id bet its some libreoffice vs Word formating issues.. or font issue
dr_willis: good point
dr_willis: he said he can open the files extracted in windows with libre
so they are getting corrupted on extraction somehow
i thought the doc files had some sort of formating/checksumming so the word processor can tell when they are currupted
dr_willis: theoretically, sure ... but ms office has all kinds of proprietary stuff, and who knows if libre can deal with it
k
is this needed in my fstab: proc            /proc           proc    nodev,noexec,nosuid 0       0
superfake123: first rule of system administration, if you don't understand it, don't touch it :)
how you gonna learn that way? ;-)
superfake123, short answer is yes. maybe someone who understand better can explain why.
well I ask because my brand new laptop that I just installed ubuntu on does not have it
but my old desktop does have it (12.10)
superfake123: on your laptop, do this: mount | grep proc
I understand it's something to do with the kernel but that is about it
ok 1 sec
superfake123: Unless you have some special setup, proc is not necessary in fstab - it will automatically be loaded with default settings when not listed with specific ones.
ahhh ok. yeah I see it when I do the grep proc
 grep proc  /etc/fstab     Nothing here
12.10 essentially removed it as a default fstab entry as a "bugfix".
it's like magic :)
hi all
I need some help downloading ubuntu to a usb any tips?
Use at least a 4GB stick, Laptop1.
ty
you making a live-usb or doing a full install to it?
that is EXACTLY what I needed to know
like you read my mind..lol thanks
;-)
Dr, either would be nice
I usually use an 8GB stick with 4GB persistence - personal preference there.
k i need a new one anyway
Laptop1: either?
I think you can make an installer usb stick with 2gb. No need for persistance with somthing you are just going to install from
I would like to learn how to do both
a full install to a usb stick would need at least 8gb id say.. for any real work to be done
ive seen 32gb and 64gb sticks for reasonable prices :
dr_willis: i need that icons cache can be rebuild in package install, can you tell what i need to do in package to achieve that?
32GB for $19.99 around here.
Does the live usb thing work well?
Laptop1: sure, as long as your BIOS supports it
simplew:  cant say ive ever needed to rebuild the icon cache
LiveUSB drives are basically a way to try out or install Ubuntu on a computer that doesn't have it - whichever you prefer.
ran on a 43gb usb stick for ages.
oops a 32 :)
slower then a internal HD. but useable
Sure sounds cool to run my comp entirely on a usb
Laptop1: Keep in mind, USB drives run nowhere near as quickly as most internal hard drives.
there are those USB3 USB sticks out now. ;)
but i havent trried any of those
Ok, is there a way to load Ubuntu without burning a cd?
Fair point.
Put it on a usb stick Laptop1 ...
Laptop1: that would be the live-usb
That's what we've been talking about, Laptop1. :-) There are instructions at ubuntu.com
 thanks
i rarely burn cds these days
i miss ubuntu

which partitions can I not remove on a Windows 8 / Ubuntu system? I'd like to remove the windows recovery and samsung system paritions etc and just leave the windows 8 parition and the ubuntu parition? all together I have 9 partitions. I take it the bios_grub partition should be left alone right? any others I should leave?
usually it they have a label
may be best to ask in #windows superfake123   id be sure to have backup media made first
blkid
superfake123: if you don't already know, leave it alone :)
superfake123: Seconded. If this is a new computer(other than Lenovo), you should make recovery discs asap.
i was thinking windows had some sort of boot partion also.
For windows, that is.
dr_willis: they do by default, but it can live without them
it's a Samsung ultrabook. honestly I hate windows 8. i just dont wanna mess up grub
Commonly lableled as system reserved, although sometimes a basic windows install doesnt use it or leaves it empty
Windows 8 boots a little differently. I'd defer to #windows for that one.
lately when i buy a new laptop. I get a new HD for it also so i can swap out the original. :) and keep it safe
there are 3 partitions labeled 'recovery' seems a bit excessive
superfake123: That's why you make discs.
ultrabook even have optical drives to make disks with
>
well, I should say win7 can live without its separate boot partition, I haven't been afflicted with win 8 yet :)
dr_willis: most support usb drives, if no external drive is available.
I have a windows iso on my computer it would take 30 seconds to copy it to a usb i'm not worried about that really
Which one?
both windows 7 and 8 actually
Ah, perfect. Cary on. ;-p
*carry
ive 'restored' windows on some desktop machines from windows "standard" disks/iso and then reaize the silly things had special driver/software/tools i couldent rack down. ;)
I almost forgot drivers could be a problem...
Still not sure why so many  wifi cards need special guis/config tools on windows
when on linux the same drivers work for a dozen cards. :)
because vendors are lazy
Propriety is an amazing thing.
vendors are too lazy to be lazy...
Knowing very little about driver specifics, I would hazard a guess that Windows drivers deal more with specific hardware, and linux drivers deal more with the actual interfaces.
DaemonicApathy: that's not quite it ... if you know that 99% of your market is windows, you can just write drivers that you know will be installed on windows, and not care quite so much about things like standards, ABIs, etc.
... you also don't care if pieces of hardware that claim to be the same are actually different, because you know how to detect those conditions, and your driver installer is written accordingly
Fair enough, dougbb. I tend to forget about the social vs technical aspects.
believe it or not, it actually has gotten a bit better in the last 5-10 years
linux has a real foothold in the enterprise market now, and companies are demanding that hardware be supportable in linux
That much I do know. Drivers used to be a lot more hassle on Linux. The fact that some of us can forget that occasionally is a testament to the improvement.
lol
.... not to mention companies like nvidia that actively reach out to the FOSS crowd
And Intel, of course. USB 3.0 worked on Linux first. ;-)
Specifically Ubuntu, iirc.
what is the best support for graphic cards come from ? Nvidia? Ati? Intel ?
anyone with packaging knowledge?
 would say intel. but even they have some issues  from time to time
then nvidia. then  all thats left is ATI. :) and if it says S3... run away..
Does matrox even exist any more?
dr_willis, its mean, intel graphics would play nice in linux ?
simplew: what kind of knowledge are you looking for?
hatori: on average, nvidia for higher performance cards, intel for basic ones
hatori:  they SHOULD play nice..
greats ....
... just don't get a lenovo laptop with the stupid hybrid graphics
Intel has some issues and mistakes over the last few years withs ome of their graphics..
the whole Hybrid gfx is a Huge problem right now
lol dr_willis ... linus torvalds gave nvidia the finger and ati will plrlly be next
dr_willis, especially with intel poulsbo series ?
* dougbb afflicted with hybrid .... bumblebee helps
old ati cards are still doing badly
but interestingly enough, the intel card is good enough to run compiz
I imagine it will be a while befor i invest in a new laptop.
just to many changes happening in that area right now. ;)
my biggest problem atm is that I can't do presentations while booted into linux because bumblebee doesn't know how to activate the external monitor jack :-/

dougbb jack isn't a init service... killing and restarting jack doesn't help, but the strange thing is that i close down jack before and after sleep so I don't think it's necessarily jack related... something happens with alsa or pulseaudio..not sure
ah
don't use jack, so I was just guessing
is there a way to delete personal data from chrome at its close? I see that click and clean is not available for Linux
always browse in ingcognito mode?
Kardos, I know that's an idea, but I'd rather not
Can swap be on an SSD? Or is it harmful/not recommended?
well there should be a .folder in your ~ that you can erase
I seem to have lost sound. How do I diagnose this?
Kardos, I want to use extensions, so erasing them is not practical, I see that incognito disables the extensions
selectively delete stuff in the .folder?
* Kardos not really a chrome expert
Was there a recent update that would have affected pulse audio?
Kardos, that could work, I've done that with luakit, I made a script to delete history and cookies every time I open it
sounds like you got that covered ;)
Hi. I am getting this at the end of sudo apt-get update. How do I fix this? http://paste.ubuntu.com/1364314/
You may want to run apt-get update to correct these problems
oh
mofium: done that twice
this is a vicous cycle
what does that mean?
DBoyz, you have the chrome sources two times
dboyz, sudo find / -iname '*sources.list*'
DBoyz, you can either delete the chrome repo from sources.list or from /etc/apt/sources.list.d/
How do I do that?
WeThePeople: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1364318/
ix_: how do I do that?
DBoyz, can you run the following command in the terminal and paste the output? /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ && ls
DBoyz, cd /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ && ls
ix_: google-chrome.list  google.list  hdapsd.list
DBoyz, sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/google-chrome.list && sudo apt-get update
ix_: is that all?
DBoyz, yep
thank you
no problem
que onda
hi there. Is there anyone here who know how to find font families supporting a special char ? (in my case \u2934)
DBoyz, can you paste the output of sudo apt-get update? I want to see something
how can you make pulseaudio stay dead?  /etc/pulse/client.conf autospawn=no doesn't work killall pulseaudio doesn't work pkill doesnt work pulseaudio --kill doesnt work service pulseaudio stop doesnt work
aaas, you could just uninstall it
ix_ but then it takes a good portion of my system with it
ix_ all the deps
aaas,  how about this    http://askubuntu.com/questions/8425/how-to-temporarily-disable-pulseaudio
ix_ wait nevermind..it seems like there are much fewer packages
go to startup applications in system preferences
and uncheck pulseaudio
Where can I get some help with my sound?
coz_ so pasuspender isn't doable because i actually am trying to kill it completely for reasons for jack
aaas,   ah understood
WeThePeople do you know the command line command for that, im in lubuntu
hawkeey,  here maybe,, or #pulseaudio or #alsa channels
hold on
Fandekasp,   an older post..not sure it might help   http://askubuntu.com/questions/107325/special-symbols-are-not-displayed-on-tty
thx coz_ will look at it
ix_: hang on
aaas, no, check  ~/.pulse/daemon.conf  &   /etc/pulse/daemon.conf to disable it>>> sudo gedit /etc/pulse/daemon.conf
can someone help with xchat here
if u guys dont mind
sudo gedit ~/.pulse/daemon.conf
Rosbuntu, ask a question, also #xchat
rosbuntu, see #xchat
bazhang,  i did
no one is responding
:(
rosbuntu, whats up
Rosbuntu, I see no question

bazhang,  u blind !! i already asked it
DBoyz, it's a bit messy, why do you have oneiric sources?
ix_: no idea
i installed 12.10 on thursday
DBoyz, cat /etc/apt/sources.list, please paste the output :)
hello?
uh

DBoyz, ok, can you sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list?
ok
Hello
how do I navigate to a mounted disk through terminal?
i have a question...i cant portforward because im on a military network called czee, but i want to connect remotly to my computer via ssh from my iphone (without setting up port forwarding)...can anyone help me?
rinzler, well, you have to locate it first, you can with df command
rinzler, where is it mounted?
DarthEaron: It's not possible to initiate a connection between two nodes where neither have an externally routed ip address, without some intermediary server that does have an externally routable ip address.
ix_: not sure... df doesn't make it show...
rinzler, then, it is not mounted
ix_: then, what's the command to mount it?
ix_: and to mount it at boot.
rinzler, you first have to know what you want to mount, you can find out with sudo fdisk -l
i can set up a ssh server on my iphone, but can i set up port forwarding to my iphone via its 3G connection?
ix_: so I want to mount sdb1
rinzler, is it a hard drive?
ix_: yeah.
can you paste the output of sudo blkid?
can't access my external IP . I'm using apache 2.2 .Please help me
rinzler, use paste.ubuntu.com
ix_: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1364370/
~/ls
rinzler, sudo gedit /etc/fstab
ix_: yep
rinzler, add to it UUID=af6b404a-87a2-40ef-801d-0fcd9d795dd9 /media/sdb1 ext4 defaults 0 0
rinzler, after that press enter to leave a new line
ix_: ok. rebooting to check...
rinzler, no
not yet
ix_: k
rinzler, in the terminal sudo mkdir /media/sdb1
rinzler, after that you can reboot
ix_: success! Thanks!
rinzler, :)
so, when setting up rsync as a cron job to sync to a remote server, should I use -a for the options?
DarthEaron: If your 3G connection doesn't give you an externally routable ip address, which accepts connections initiated from the outside world, then I doubt there is a way to change that fact (it would be your phone provider's routers which would need to be configured for port forwarding...).
Is there a helper online, before I ask something?
ihsan_, whats up
hey
Ihsan_: There is almost always someone awake in this channel. Next time just start by asking your question, if anyone knows the answer they'll respond (and if nobody doesn then nobody will respond).
I'm trying to use gparted to resize my partitions
I have this error http://pastebin.com/wYu9xYn6
Well, my system has now a full installation of Ubuntu 12.10 without any other OS. I also have another partition where I store school data. But now, since I cannot game very well on linux, I want to install Windows 8 beside my Ubuntu. I hear that this will destroy my GRUB and what can also be a problem when I do this and HOW can I do this? Thanks
Here's some potentially useful terminal output http://pastebin.com/aucr3VkM
rymate1234, what are you trying to do?
rymate1234, this it>>> Can't have overlapping partitions.
Lemme get a screenshot
Trying to expand my /dev/sda4 extended partition into that blank space http://i.imgur.com/juRXY.png
rymate1234, you can't, just make partitions there
wat
why
rymate1234, i had this same problem, i just would just backup and redo entire hdd again
My eventual goal is to resize /dev/sda6, which is in the extended partition and is my home partition
rymate1234, you could delete sda5 and make it bigger
Is it be good to extend the root partiton (/)  of ubuntu ?
I can't delete /dev/sda5
That's my root partition
rymate1234, :) well, dude, you've made your partitions pretty badly
y
who lives in canada?
rymate1234, well, I always have 3 partitions, one for Linux, one for all my data and one for installing another OS in case of need
so my hard disk has too many partitions?
rymate1234, I don't think that is a problem
ix_, I'd better have a separate HDD for another OS
I thought having seperate partitions for my root and my home would be safer in case I broke ubuntu and needed to reinstall
barberan, on a laptop it's more difficult to carry around a hdd
^
ix_, I see, ok
backup and redo your partition >_*
yrp^^
rymate1234, if I were you, I'd delete everything after sda3 and make 2 partitions, one for ubuntu, one for data
fuck
D:
rymate1234: Hey ! Don
sorry :(
rymate1234: Hey ! Don't use this Type Of languagehere
So where to shove my ubuntu partition data then?
rymate1234, you seem to have some space on sda3
ohyes
I'll move it there then
lemme just get off this live cd
rymate1234, you know you could use one partition for data from linux and windows
but it's too late now
is there anyway to force reinstall python3?
and its dependancies
ix_: and you will create a endless permission trap...

wasn't very good
Guest10449, both do the job, use whatever you like
 ix_ Speed Matters in Any One ?
WeThePeople, any idea?
Guest10449, I prefer apt-get, but I think aptitude has more features
apt-get for better log

huhlig-home, what one??
plus python3 seems borked now
WeThePeople, I was trying to install the new nvidia driver
but this hosed python3
which means no apt-add-repository
huhlig-home, does sudo apt-get update give errors?
Hi @all
ih
so it turns out my WOL issues were due to some sort of bad WOL setup in tomato
ix_, see abover
ix_, http://pastebin.com/TCe5yM9Q
strangely it would only wake up computers with r8169 and the proprietary driver, the r8101e and the such simply wouldn't wake up with whatever tomato was broadcasting as a magic packet
Can someone help me, with using another driver because i think "Using input driver 'evdev' for 'Logitech USB Receiver'" is causing my system to partly freeze
set irc_conf_mode 1
huhlig-home, you can use synaptic to fix your problems
sorry
so I switched over to dd-wrt, and it works great except no functional ddns, but I can run no-ip's client on my answering machine

is there a way I can backup all my installed packages so when I reinstall ubuntu I can easily restore them?
ix_, yep
WeThePeople, so how do I fix it?
I can't play 1440p video without rebooting

How can i use anonther input driver than evdev for my keyboard under xorg
or 1080p at 1440

damn you and your good monitor

puppy_parade, do you have the additional driverss?
rymate1234: install when you need it
m1rach4n, ok
yes, rymate1234 the ATI ones
rymate1234, so, if you delete everything after sda3, you should make one big extended partition there in which you can put whatever partitions you want
ix_, will do

Just deleting stuff in my windows directory to make room for /home
installing ubuntu ontop of windows... do they share a swap partition?
windows uses a swap file, not a partition
and you don't _need_ a swap partition
unless you want to hibernate
I never understood why people put their data in /home, I always have a separate partition for all my data, /home seems too messy, with all the configuration files
I don't find the configuration files messy
thats why theres is ctrl h

hey guys new to irc
whats up
whats the issue that you need to reinstall
joshua342532453, bad package borked python3
huhlig-home, not at the moment
cant seem to fix it
did you remove and reinstall
just python3
joshua342532453, umm
no
that means I have to uninstall about 60 package
packages
use the package manger to get the one you need
and its a nasty list
joshua342532453, ...
what do you mean
removing python3.2 causes a cascade of package removals
synaptic package manger
it wont run
its based on python
an apt-get install shouldnt take very long
umm
you dont seem to understand
sorry guess not
joshua342532453, , http://pastebin.com/TCe5yM9Q
huhlig-home, do you have the .deb file handy?
WeThePeople, yep
for python3-distupgrade
yes
yep, I do
ok, type in terminal dpkg -i <name of .deb>
sudo first
paste output
huhlig-home^^
ok
WeThePeople, http://pastebin.com/QgyRRfZN
huhlig-home, synaptic is basically a front end for aptitude
huhlig-home, did you cd into this dir /var/cache/apt/archives
huhlig-home, you can try sudo aptitude remove python3
WeThePeople, yes
huhlig-home, do a cd ~ then do dpkg -i
huhlig-home, you can also try sudo aptitude -f
how to install offline codecs???
http://pastebin.com/x0tyKdKW
sudhin, vlc has most codecs, I think
sudhin, codecs for video?
yes..
huhlig-home, strange, is aptitude also dependent on python?
I didn't know that
ix_, apparently
huhlig-home, no, it's not, I've just checked
is that the ubuntu you dont have it installed script
 apt-rdepends aptitude|grep python   -> none
?
umm... aptitude doesnt exist anymore
huhlig-home, can you paste the output of cat /etc/apt/sources.list
sure
trying to run add-apt-repository, it won't let me, so i google and run sudo apt-get install python-software-properties
there is aptitude-curses
unfortunately, even after sudo apt-get update and a reboot, it wont work
by it i mean add-apt-repository
hi, will we get the newest nvidia driver via ubuntu software center?
ix_, http://pastebin.com/t2gtDszB
youandwhatarmy, you could just put the repository in /etc/apt/sources.list manually
do I need to upgrade to 12.10 to get ATI open source drivers that are usable?
pawel_138: No. You will get the latest stable driver from the Ubuntu repos.
because on 12.04...
bekks: thanks for the info
huhlig-home, your repositories look fine, how did you get the python3 problem?
ix apt-get update, apt-get upgrade
it tried to install python3-distupgrade
and it failed horribly
huhlig-home, and if you try to remove it with apt-get remove python3, it wants to remove lots of packages, right?
hello! could someone tell me which package in 12.04 provides "Config::Crontab 1.33" for perl?
ix_, oh yeah http://pastebin.com/sUit7M0m
i tried libschedule-cron-perl-that wasn't it.
huhlig-home, you could try to install another version of python
huhlig-home, apt-get install python
ix_, python is newest
:)
and then iut tries to finish the install for python3-distupgrade
back
and bombs
ix_: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1364356/
huhlig-home, apt-get remove python-distupgrade
huhlig-home, apt-get remove python3-distupgrade
ix_, tried that http://pastebin.com/RcWqr4pH

it didnt like it
been trying to fix this and googling for a couple hours prior to pulling my hair out and coming here
huhlig-home, :)
i seem to have Ubuntu 11.10 in here - http://paste.ubuntu.com/1364356/
can't recall where i got it from
huhlig-home, if aptitude would work, you could force the other version
aptitude is installed
i seem to have Ubuntu 11.10 in here - http://paste.ubuntu.com/1364356/ ( cat /etc/apt/sources.list )
aptitude doesnt exist anymore for some reason
DBoyz, sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list and delete everything there and paste from here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1364464/
ix_, no more aptitude executable http://pastebin.com/Se7gp3H5
DBoyz, then, sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/google.list && sudo apt-get update
gnome-system-monitor.rymate.644655047: Can't copy special file
o.o
huhlig-home, I think there is a way out of it
ix_, I am all ears
huhlig-home, well, I think that if you put the repositories from an older ubuntu release and tell it to install python, it will install the version from that repo
o.O
huhlig-home, get my point? :)
I have a higher version though
got it using cpan. thanks a lot!
huhlig-home, did you try apt-get -f install?
ix_, yep, several times
huhlig-home, I thought so
ix_: done
DBoyz, does it work fine?
DBoyz, when you will want to install stuff from google, you should look at your package manager first, as you already have the repositories there
ix_: where can i find package manager?
also, what is supposed to work fine?
DBoyz, :) if the last command did not give errors, it's fine
arrrgh
I cant remove it
I cant install it
no errors :)
I hate zombie packages
fsck off floodbot
huhlig-home, sudo dpkg --remove python3
:)
now, where can i find package manager?
ix_, wont let me
DBoyz, I use synaptic, but Ubuntu has some other package manager
"it wont let me" means what exactly?
I thought synaptic was deprecated?
DBoyz: be oldschool, use apt
huhlig-home, sudo dpkg -r --force-depends python3
ix_, it wont even let me do that
gordonjcp: where do i use apt? terminal?
ix_, http://pastebin.com/qZ4PbX7t
huhlig-home, I give up, it does not seem to be a way to remove python3 without all the other things
apparently it tries to load python3 to remove python3
DBoyz: yup
but how do i use apt to install chrome?
huhlig-home: i'd try to find the cause of this "Fatal Python error: Py_Initialize: Unable to get the locale encoding"  unfortunately i don't have any clue about python at all
DBoyz, sudo apt-get install google-chrome
llutz, ive been trying
huhlig-home, you could try to install them again after they will be removed, but it will take some time
oh right. i already have chrome installed
DBoyz, I knew that :P
DBoyz, sudo apt-get install synaptic
DBoyz, maybe you will need synaptic one day, it's a good app
what's the name of the ubuntu package manager?
nope
apparently you cant remove python without having a working python installation
ix_: The package manager is called dpkg, the frontend mostly used is apt, and one of the graphical frontends is synaptic.
ix_: what about ubuntu software center?
DBoyz, exactly, ubuntu software center
can i use that too?
DBoyz: Yes, you can use the software center too.
alright. thank you
now i need help with hdapsd
i can't seem to get it working. google isn't helping either
DBoyz, what is hdapsd?
I'm trying to get APS (Active Protection System) to work
Hey everyone

DBoyz, what do you need aps for?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Active_hard-drive_protection
I have a probleme i've installed ubuntu 12.04 a few days ago i'm running it side to side to my windows 7 , everything works great but it does this strange thing you know how on a desktop computer when you turn it on the first 1 minut or so it makes a lot of noises, fans are running ect.. well on ubuntu the fans never stop running? which windows 7 doesnt do
protect my hard drive from impact
is this normal or should i worry about that?
joey_, I think it's normal, it seems that ubuntu does not know hot to regulate your fan speed
joey_, so it's always at max
yes exactly
always at max
so i shouldnt really worry about that ?
joey_, I don't think so, but you could check the temperature
and i also have another question , is it possible that ubuntu can get infected by a windows virus?
msd joey_ i think no
oh okay
thats what i thought
joey : i have a couple older pc's that do that ... this pc runs the fan at idle as we speak
joey_, it's very difficult to infect Linux, even if you want to
joey_: Welcome to linux, no more scandisk, defrag, virus scans .... :)
haha thanks :p
my computer just unlocked its screen because of the upgrade to 12.10
msg joey_ because you can exec windows project in linux
antonio
excel in wine works okay, but it's quirky and has no middle mouse button support
m joey_ on i am sorry   i mean you can not exec a windows programer in linux
henry_, that's not exactly true, as there is wine
WINE
:)
windows programmers aren't so bad, there is no need to execute them.
 i know but wine is not perfact
~... yes, because there is not much in the way of OpenSource/Linux apps that is lacking
oh yes but i meant if you download a file from the internet let's say a torrent with music and it has a virus in it that was probably made to infect windows systems could it infect a linux system?
not unless it is a new type of virus
joey_: no
oh okay
Hi. When i booted my pc something happened with my theme. Img:  http://www.dodaj.rs/f/3J/om/3p0KMi7e/screenshot-from-2012-11-.png I am using ubuntu 12.10 and Gnome Classic (No Effects).
it would be a first
joey_, no, it can't infect Linux, but you could infect a friend's windows by mistake
thats why everyone feels safer on linux systems
i just warray about flash or javascript
ix_: Well, only if you forward an email or file that is a virus.  That's not really much of an issue.  Not something that isn't going to happen anyway.
well linux is great
joey_: You bet it is.
runs much faster then my windows
Anyone ?
Steevca: Describe your problem in detail.
Steevca, I have an idea, just use XFCE or something
hi what is "set" command used in ubuntu?
:)
xfce rocks!
Well i just booted my pc,and the theme looks like this. http://www.dodaj.rs/f/3J/om/3p0KMi7e/screenshot-from-2012-11-.png There are white parts that shouldn't be there. And i can't see the text or the icons.
And i described my problem litle up,you probably didn't see it.
anyone know?
stop and start dm again ??
Steevca, you could just delete the configuration files from /home, but be careful not to delete anything important to you
Steevca: xfce?
thank you for your help everyone
usr13: Yeah,i have it installed but that is not a solution for this problem.
joey_: What?
sorry, joey_, That was for Steevca
what 'set' command do in ubuntu i just execute set in terminal and this gimme a huge output
Steevca: So, if you click on one of the panels, do you get "Customize Panel"?
Souravaj, see man page for set
savio : there is no manula entry for set
*manual
Souravaj: help set
nothing work
Souravaj: Or better, "help set | less". (set is an internal bash command, and thus doesn't have a separate man page).
actually i execute it so i am little afraid tht it doesnt create any problem now or later
Souravaj, no worries it just list current setting
thanx
hi folks

sram, describe your problem in detail. Try to use good/understandable language

Hello, i've problem with mounting HDD : http://wklej.to/5NGKw

if I wanted to rebuild some packages for an older cpu (i586), how would I go about doing it?
bekks: -y
usr13: I'd suggest to _never_ use -y until knowing which errors fsck will mock about.
bekks: I suggest -y (cut to the chase)
bekks, http://wklej.to/HwFSr
wlosio: Before continuing - do you have a valid backup?
bekks, i dont backup my hdd
bekks, its new hdd
bekks, has around month
wlosio: So losing the data is not that tragically.
bekks, im not afraid lost data :D
but why my HDD stop work
how heck SMART?
check*
wlosio: It did not stop working. Actually it works, you are experiencing file system errors.
Hi
wlosio: So just continue with that fsck -f
bekks: sudo fsck -y /dev/sda2
wlosio: Y
I've added a mount point to /etc/fstab for my external usb hard drive and now the disk appears twice in nautilus
ok ok "Y" :0
How can I fix that?
usr13: you are missing the -f option, which forces fsck to check a filesystem that seems to be clean.
Force a re-write <Y>?
wlosio: Y
bekks: So, we should use -fy ?
usr13: No -y, just -f
Repeatedly declared clone blocks.<Y>?
wlosio: Y
bekks: Oh, ok.

hai i just try to use usb camera i had execute mplayer tv:// -tv driver=v4l2:width=640:height=480:device=/dev/video0,it just opened a window and blank,nothing happen
what is the issue?
zone: ls -l /dev/video0
if I wanted to rebuild some packages for an older cpu (i586), how would I go about doing it?
evilmoo: What is your end goal?
evilmoo: Is there a particular reason to not just do it on the older PC?
evilmoo: Download the sources using apt-get source, fix the build instructions, and recompile for i586
llutz   ls -l /dev/video0 it shows crw-rw----+ 1 root video 81, 0 2012-11-17 21:18  /dev/video0

jordan: i have an old laptop I'd still like to use ubuntu on but it's not a 686
anyone know why nvidia does not appear in software sources?
evilmoo: You're going to need to recompile more than "some" packages for that.
jordan: i know
Ben64, not helpful
i just want basic stuff like bash/ssh/kernel/glibc and whatever else is needed to support those
i don't plan on rebuilding every package ever, just the base bits i need
Ben64, all of that is for pre 12.04
Hi , im trying to install ia32-libs , but it doesnt work: It always says that ia32-libs-dev must be reinstalled , but i cant do that , it doesnt work
evilmoo: You're honestly better off switching to Debian or another distro that defaults to i586 compatible.
graingert: those instructions work on all versions
Ben64, I havn't needed xorg.conf since 3XX driver series
forget to say im using ubuntu 12.04 64-bit (installed via wubi.exe)
Where is the best place to get help with routers/ making my computer accessible from the outside of my lan
Ben64, this hasn't been updated since "10:10" sic
brandon420: Router manual.
graingert: so? the process is still the same
Ben64, no it's not
 hai i just try to use usb camera i had execute mplayer tv:// -tv driver=v4l2:width=640:height=480:device=/dev/video0,it just opened a window and blank,nothing happen
this involved messing with xorg.conf
jordan: fine, with that said, if I still wanted to do it, how would I go about it?
graingert: If you install Nvidia drivers, you'll use xorg.conf
what is the issue?
graingert: read better
usr13, no you don't
Ben64, "The easiest way to install binary drivers is to use the built in Hardware Drivers manager in Ubuntu. " <-- doesn't work
graingert: Yes you do.
usr13, you havn't needed xorg.conf since 3XX when they added support for xrandr
graingert: What is 3XX?
Ben64, it doesn't exist. And the replacement doesn't work as I described earlier
usr13, the nvidia 3XX series of drivers
how can i change the ownership of /var/www/ to my user?
graingert: Oh, kernel 3.x?

usr13, EN VID EAR. DRY VER
graingert: Oh ok.
graingert,  Why not? Wouldn't that make it easier to stream stuff from inside my network?
hahahhaha
lmfao
brandon420, nope. Just use the public_html pattern
That shit cracked me up.
brandon420: Just use symlinks
brandon420, usr13, don't use symlinks. Setup your apache config correctly
brandon420, https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/howto/public_html.html
Sir yes sir!
=)
all my tty consoles are scrolling up the screen
brandon420: mkdir ~/public_html ; ln -s ~/public_html /var/www/name-here
bluntman, move your screens down
I always get this error , when i want to install/remove a package via the ubuntu software center: E:The package ia32-libs-dev needs to be reinstalled, but I can't find an archive for it.
brandon420, seriously don't listen to usr13.
reminds me when i had to adjust my antenna on my tv
brandon420: mkdir ~/public_html ; sudo ln -s ~/public_html /var/www/name-here
graingert: Are you serious?
usr13, yes. You have no idea what you are doing.
graingert: I'm telling him the most logical method.
usr13, using symlinks all over the place? With sudo?
and esiest
hay guys.
brandon420, just configure your apache config correctly
brandon420: That's the best advise, take it or leave it.
anyone else using chrome browser and yahoo.com has not been rendering properly for past couple days?
anyone know why nvidia does not appear in software sources?
brandon420: graingert synlinks are the way to go.
I'm not going to just /do/ what either of you tell me. But i am going to take both of your advise and research to find the best solution.
spycrab0: have you tried to install it via terminal?
so out of the blue xorg fails to start with http://ideone.com/WRm0jG
brandon420: ... use as many as you like.  It is easy.
i hate this since i have no clue what triggered it since i didn't update or install anything in between as far as i can tell
how about taking the #apache advice to #apache, thnks
almoxarife: Yes i tried it , but i failed to
i tried reinstalling xorg and fglrx
almoxarife: Good idea.
hi i used cheese web cam booth,i opened and it just blank what is the probe?
spycrab0: explain 'failed'
The nvidia proprietary driver does not appear in software sources. It appears in jockey-text though.
zone: try it with 'vlc' , cheese is a mess
almoxafire: It always tells me i have to reinstall ia32-libs-dev but theres no archive for it
The nvidia driver has always installed from jockey-gtk on this hardware. Why does software sources not show this?
graingert: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VideoDriverHowto
usr13, that's not helpful it's out of date.
almoxarife,can you please tell how because i am fresher for linux
i always get this error , when i want to install packages via terminal
usr13, it says to install from "System->Administration->Hardware Drivers." which no longer exists
usr13, now what?
graingert: Who told you that there are no nvidia packages in the repositories any more?
usr13, nobody
spycrab0: try this in terminal 'sudo apt-get install ia32-libs-dev'
usr13, who told you that I thought there are no nvidia packages in the repositories any more?

graingert: You could get
graingert: You could get NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-310.19.run
usr13, no I don't want that.
graingert: What do you want?
usr13: you shouldn't suggest people to get the driver from nvidia's site
usr13, I want to install the drivers from software sources like I did during the Alphas
argh, seriously so apparently X/fglrx wants stuff to be in usr/lib64 but everything is in usr/lib
symlinking doesn't fix it it seems
japro, oh goodness don't do that
graingert: Then go to Hardware Drivers
usr13, they don't exist in 12.10

hello
i tried reinstalling fglrx and xorg so far
japro, have you tried installing from software-properties
aticonfig claims i don't have a compatible adapter
japro, or does it not appear in there for you either?
can someone please help me....i'm on ubuntu 12.10 and it doesn't detect my hardware raid
yesterday it worked fine and i can't figure out what has changed
japro, on Ubuntu, you just need to install fglrx-updates and give up the possibility of installing a vanilla version.
graingert: it's there for me fwiw - this appears to only be affecting your system
so purge fglrx and install fglrx-updates?
japro, if you don't want such dependence on Ubuntu packages and just run the latest, you should switch to a community distro, like Arch.
yeats, http://askubuntu.com/questions/215053/why-does-additional-driver-tab-not-have-an-nvidia-driver-to-install/216182#216182
uh i don't have a problem with that, i just want it to work again
yeats, Jorge also has the issue
i'm puzzled as to what made it fail in the first place
graingert: sudo software-properties-gtk
ok
partitions redone
japro, it is possible to get it to work, but Ubuntu switched to multi-arch which complicates things.
time to reinstall
japro, the fglrx distributions makes some assumptions which are not true in Ubuntu.
usr13, nope
japro, you can of course work around this by analyzing the package contents, but that requires some technical skill that you might not have or you might not care about.
usr13, same as without
japro, does that help?
so can i install fglrx from the repositories ornot?
japro, I could.
graingert: nope, what?
well i guess i know you can since i had it working until yesterday
usr13, same as without
japro, and what did you do then?
and now without me even touching apt get or anything as far as i know it didn't work today
japro, and what version of Ubuntu are your running?
12.04
How do i install Murrine Engine in Xfce4 ?
graingert: same as without what?
usr13, sudo
graingert: I'll rephrase - of the people in the channel right now, it looks like no one else who has the problem knows how to make it work - I would recommend asking later, trying the forums, or filing a bug
japro, if you read the documentation, you can see trouble shooting steps.
Hi. I've installed 7zip but it's not available in the main menu.
graingert: sudo software-properties-gtk click on Additional Drivers tab
NimeshNeema:  7zip package just adds command line tools and features to the default archiver gui tools.. it does NOT have its own GUI
usr13, It's the same as without running it as root. It's the same symptoms
invariant, documentation found where?
Click on the Additional Drivers tab in the Software Sources menu.
12.04 still uses the additional-drivers/jockey-gtk tool i thought. ;)

can someone help me?
japro, in the documentation location.
brandon420, proxy settings?
japro, which will lead you to /usr/share/doc/fglrx-updates/index.html
japro, you should read the manual for the systems that you are using before asking a question.
graingert, i dont have any proxys..
rymate1234, here is the question: http://askubuntu.com/questions/215053/why-does-additional-driver-tab-not-have-an-nvidia-driver-to-install/216182#216182 (not me) here is my bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/software-properties/+bug/1080023

hi i try to use usb cam i used cheese,it opened a window and nothing done it just blanck,& i used vlc it shows emerge -av adobe-flash
graingert: Those are your options.
what is the prob
i tend to just install the nvida-current package.
brandon420: Is this a wired connection?
usr13, also 12.10 uses the latest drivers with kmod:nvidia_experimental_310
brandon420: Though IRC can be one of the most resilient protocalls when it comes to dealing with lag, low bandwidth, and dropped packets so that could be the only reason it's staying alive. Try "ping 8.8.8.8" and if you get little or no packet loss, during the time browsing is failing, then you probably just want to change DNS servers (and 8.8.8.8 is a nice easy to remember and reliable DNS server :).
zeroblu3: Hardware RAID or FakeRAID?
Jordan_U,  i made it through bios settings
Jordan_U: You are assuming brandon420's problem is DNS.  Is it?
Jordan_U, I get a response from 8.8.8.8. but nothing else works..
brandon420: ping av.com
i pinged google and got nothing
brandon420: cat /etc/resolv.conf
usr13: I wasn't assuming anything, that's why I said that it could be almost anything and proposed a test.
chrome says that my dns look up failed.
Jordan_U: Appears your assumption is correct.
usr13: But DNS failure does seem the most likely culprite.
So how do I go among fixing this?
brandon420: pastebinit /etc/resolv.conf
lol
brandon420: what nameserver are you using?
literally nothing else -internet wise- is working besides irc
brandon420: Open nm-connection-editor and try changing the configured DNS server to 8.8.8.8
brandon420: Are you using DHCP to connect to your LAN?
yes
brandon420: Note that once you lose this current IRC connection you probably won't be able to connect again, as that will require another DNS lookup.
Everything is set to automatic
And nothing looks out of the ordinary in my modem router config
sup yo?
jot down the ip# of the freenode servers. ;)
brandon420: as Jordan_U suggests, you should edit IP configuration via nm-connection-editor
fuck
i dont wanna lose you guys.
brandon420: YOu can re-connect.
brandon420: can you browse to http://173.194.37.69/ (google)
yeats, yepp
hiho
sup?
brandon420: Did you set up the router with nameserver(s) suggested by your ISP?  If so, try pinging one of them.
usr13, I have comcrap. It is one of the "automatic" isps
hey guys, for those that use your laptops, with the middle mouse click we can auto paste highlighted text, but on the touch pad, that activates functions to move/resize window.
brandon420: as Jordan_U suggests, you should edit IP configuration via nm-connection-editor and use 8.8.8.8 as nameserver
brandon420: you can still hardcode a nameserver
anyone knows a quick fix for that?
brandon420: How about http://140.211.167.103/ ? (freenode's webchat, which you can use in case you get disconnected), or you could also configure your client to connect to 193.219.128.49 .
Thank you. I can get to the webchat
nvm i just answered it for myself, top left on the mouse pad does the trick
So in the wireless settings >ipv4> additional dns servers?
brandon420: Yes, just use 8.8.8.8
only one

in #windows-server they DO help D:

I'm pretty much left without network manager, tried uninstalling it and using ifconfig/route but still no networking, what get's this stuff mangled?
agu10^_: I would consult with a professional
nowayride1: What's the problem?
Hello, i use a "green pc" with ubuntu 12.04 as NAS,local server and other. Now i am thinking that instead to use my local server as "download directory" may be nice to send it the link to download the resource so i can switch off my computer!
Jordan_U, I have one of those really fancy routers, and in lamest terms I have no freaking idea what i am doing. Resetting would seem to be the quickest/easiest option in this situation. If not, i will be back on the irc asking more questions.
Had network manager, tried to set static IP, lots of issues and tried to use ifconfig to fix it, tried removing 70-persistent which stopped generating, removed network manager to do it the "regular" Linux way, but ifconfig and route still won't create a valid connection, ping just hangs
nowayride1: Do you have a DHCP server running on your router?
it could be a plugin for browser, but the unique solution that i thinked is to use  a web service on server...do u suggest other solutions?
invariant, well, it turns out installing glew actually was the culprit... to get fglrx to work i have to apparently use the (dirty) fix of symlinking lib64 to lib... but the install script of glew actually created a lib64 directory overwriting the symlink...
Yeah but it's set for .100 and higher and I'm trying .11, plus trying to use dhcp completely hangs and never resolves
japro, you didn't say anything about glew to me.
Static is working for another computer and dhcp is working for my phone
japro, what is glew?
nowayride1: So the DHCP pool is 100 and up?
Yes
can someone please tell me ,what will be the regex to match a 7 letter word where first 3 characters [0-2] and last 3 characters [4-6] should be same ?
they can be any characters , but they should be same on either side. as in the regex should retain the previously matched 3 chars
its and extension loader for opengl and i needed the newest version...
nowayride1: Just edit /etc/network/interfaces and set your IP info there.
so a library
I've tried that too
ge0rJey: you should ask in #programming
nowayride1: Example(s): http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/setting-up-an-network-interfaces-file/
Was just on that page to double check
nowayride1: That didn't work?
nowayride1: what happens?
iface eth0 inet static \n address 192.168.0.11 \n netmask 2555.255.255.0 \n gateway 192.168.0.1
Obviously \n as actual line breaks
Eth0 comes back up with ok but fails to ping or resolve
nowayride1: route -n  #what does that say?
Has 0.0.0.0 ? 192.168.0.1 and 192.168.0.0 > 0.0.0.0
? = >
Not sure if I have let you guys know how much I love you. Thank you #ubuntu for being there for me when I do dumb stuff that you help me fix.
nowayride1: Can you ping 192.168.0.1 ?
Nope
Destination host unreachable
nowayride1: ifconfig eth0  #What inet IP does it show?
192.168.0.11
nowayride1: Check cable.
nowayride1: Do you have more than one Ethernet Adapter?
Nah just the one port
Maybe it's deaf
Or you have a bad cable.
And unplugged the router :\
nowayride1: What?
Diff cable nope
I accidentally unplugged my router lol
O
hahah
This just baffles me because every time I touch a networking config with anything that has network manager it ends up in reinstalling the OS
Is there something somewhere else in the OS that makes it really touchy?
Anyone happen to know of a chessbase like program for linux?
nowayride1: you must just be doing strange things
Install Ubuntu > Use ifconfig > Watch my room burn down. Not sure what I did wrong.
nowayride1: I don't know. I've not had those problems.
never had issues with networking either.
nowayride1: I use my router to set static leases
plug in router/wires set up auto in NM and there we go.
I use statics for forwarding rules
I can set my router to assign ip based on MAC so my home servers get the same ip all the time
and i forward what i need
I use my ubuntu system as the dhcp server

and is it using that Optimus Dual GPU thing thats getting common?

dr_willis, soorry, wrong nick autocompletion
how may dr_* are here? ;)
CorvusCorax, what ati do you have
lots
i forgot the exact card description, lspci lists it as Radeon HD 6400G-6600G series
i think it was 6680 G or something like that
yeats: Thanks. This happens even after 'apt-get update'. Since libfuse2 is 3.1, I want the libfuse-dev version that depends on 3.1, which is what it does according to the package list on web. Is there any risk that 'apt-get -f install' will get the wrong version of libfuse-dev?
so is it a switchable grapics set up
I already had to ghack grub into not changing the fbconsole into graphics mode, since otherwise I have no txt terminal either and the keyboard wont work

meingbg: you can do 'apt-cache policy libfuse2' to see what's available in your current repos
12.10, freshly installed
SoulShadow, sure
ok gimme a min to get the link for u
SoulShadow, i removed the software center too
ok so i have ubuntuone installed.... is removing ubuntuone  is safe?
Sure.
sure, thnx :)
if you dont plan on using UbuntuOne ;)
it might not be safe in the future
ok
if ubuntu became to amazon cloud machine
ubuntuOne is just really handy. ;)
this is not true in a ghost island
okay so i have another unusual question, lol, its been bothering me. lol ocd, style.

you mean in the login manager?
right before the login manager starts

my SSD boots so fast  i barely even see thos screens.
then try to reset plymouth
then try to reset login screen
where do i look for login screen options?
sounds like a lot of work for very little gain
Lightdm has its own config files.
dr_willis i'm ocd.
ahhahaha
by default it shows the selected users wallpaper
sheikhmak:  get over it..
lol its itching HHAHA
hola
Does 12.4 not use xorg.conf anymore
yes
xorg.conf has been optional for like years
hi dr_willis
Whats the alternative
hi there channel :-)
X auto confiogures these days so an xorg.confis not normally needed
which is more stable 12.04 LTS or 12.10?
dury: that depends on what you want to do
when my X autoconfigures it crashes :-(
loke: give me an example or suggestion, please
we dont know what you want to do with your system. ;)
Any dark themes for Pidgin (Windows)? Hurting my eyes. :'(
bob6784678487: install other theme
graphics, music, internet, development loke, dr_willis
ok i give up some should direct __Cronopio to the spanich channel ... jeeze i'm lame
dury:  i doubt if the relase will matter much.
dury: you don't need "stability" for that. You need the latest stuff. :-)
Thanks, lollko.
So, 12.10 unless you have specific needs
loke: specific needs like what?
stupid question: I'm trying to search the ubuntu forums, and for some reason no matter what my search terms are being searched with "OR" instead of "AND" .. even if I include "AND" between the terms.  I could swear it used to default to AND with my previous settings. How can I force it to include all search terms?
just examples, loke
dury: I don't know. I can't think of anything.
I've had problems with non-LTS versions in the past, so I stick with LTS
couldn't find any help for the forum search either, so...
are there much differences between 12.04 & 12.10?
what is apache modules for php ?
ubottu: good :-)
Hi, I'm having samba problems. Getting access denied from windows 7. This is my smb.conf: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1364808/, I've added user nobody to group sambashare, and permissions on all my shares are 775. user:group for all shares is ant:sambashare
i mean blackshirt
loke, do you know ?
dury  there are plenty reviews, here's one http://www.zdnet.com/ubuntu-12-10-quantal-quetzal-review-7000005929/
nm I found the answer http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1024129
blackshirt - try using apt-cache search
I'm not sitting on pc
nashant: try anonymous
gues account anonymous
lolko: before, I was getting access denied when I tried to access the shares. with anonymous, access denied when trying to access the server
so that sounds like permission problems with the shares themselves, right?
you are accessing them as guest or a specific user?
dr_willis: guest
try as a user? give theuser a samba password via 'sudo smbpasswd -a username' as a test.. also you could check the samba and auth logs to see whys its getting denied.
I can access from my laptop, which has the same username and pass as the server
That's all good
Just not from anonymous
so user works, guest fails.
yup
the logs would be in /var/log/samba, right?
dr_willis, what is apache module to support user public_html ?
blackshirt:  No idea. I dont apache ;)
Hayate: userdir
dr_willis: not seeing anything about it in /var/log/samba/log.smbd
jrib, what is package names to install ?
Hayate: it comes with the apache package
I have a widescreen monitor and for some reason my pttys all have the left and right side cut off with black bars so that I cannot see the username and password prompts. Any suggestions? I've been trying to find the answer in the forums. I know I've solved this before but I forget how
Jrib, how to activate them in a simplest way ?
Hayate: a2enmod userdir
jrib, thank guys, you great person
rifter:  some monitors have a 'scaleing' option in their settings for 'scale/crop/zoom' may be its set to crop.
rifter:  also seen that in some software config tools.
you could also try messign with the framebuffer and fbset commands for the console if they are using the framebuffer
Speaking of scaling, I had to use xrandr for Elementary and used cvt values, but 1920x1080 turned into more like, 1300x1024 or something, any clues?
gah damn, I think I am running into this bug:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fglrx-installer-updates/+bug/1069199
oo
in combination with a card that doesn't run with the FOSS driver
nvidia better than Ati in ubuntu :-)
dury: doesn't help me much, this is a laptop
dr_willis: any other tips?
I even checked wether the card is supprted under linux in general before buying it (I have the same one running gentoo fine)
hh
I have to say so ar I'm a bit disappointed by how ubuntu behaves in this regard
nashant: Not really - sounds almost like a firewall blocing stuff if  the ogs are not even seeing  connection attempts.
i've been following a guide and int he guide it says: "In your text editor look for the lines with start up information and comment them out by adding a hash at the beginning of each line."
what is the startup informaiton in mysql file?
CorvusCorax: which laptop is... a Dell?
Samsung
dr_willis: ah! good idea. I'll check that
grebi: what do you want to accomplish?
samsung 30535a
samsung 305E5A
dr_willis, what do you mean? where would that setting be?
dr_willis, this is only happening in my pttys. everywhere else it does not do this
dr_willis, I'm going to try something .. brb
dr_willis: Nope. turned off firewall and still it's saying access denied when trying to enter a share. I can see the shares fine though
try accessing them via the ip# and not the servername? :)
have to go bbl take all?
have to go bbl take all, :-)
I mean take care all :-)
dr_willis: got a workaround. force user = ant on the read only shares. Then make writable shares on accessible by ant
ive got a folder to delete, im afraid it is going to do something generally unexpected and follow some symlinks into my home folder and delete things there, how can i guarantee it wont
i am keep on getting error reports can anyone help me to disable it?
http://www.webupd8.org/2012/06/how-to-get-rid-of-internal-system-error.html
perhaps
i think ive figured out my answer
rm --one-file-system -R
that should keep it from removing anything via symlink, since its a fat32 im deleting and my home is ext4
thanks guys... ;p
dr_willis, Thank u so much
i still cant see how a copy n paste that shouldve been a few hundred MB's took up 30Gigs
copied my home folder to a removable fat32 drive, and it ate all the free space and wanted to keep going
hi
XiaolinDraconis: links?
copying stuff across filesystems would follow symbolic links id think

m1rach4n, thats my only guess
how can i keep windows from corrupting files i transfer via usb, sometimes when i place files on the drive from ubuntu, then use those files on windows, they end up corrupted
what sort of files?
mostly archives
Only time ive ever seen any such issues is when i had some translation options set in fstab
also exe's
and that was years ago.
what format is the usb drive?
fat32
never seen the issue using NTFS-3g
what does mount say about the mountpoint. what optiosn is it using>
whatever comes default when you have ubuntu installer mount a drive by default
but in the past it was auto mounted
plug n play style
when you say, they end up corrupted, are you saying that you can read them at first, but then they get corrupted?
Another Austinite woot.
dr_willis, okay that didn't work. I tried changing the resolution by using vga= in grub2, but that didn't change the resolution of the pttys
i use em just fine in windows, but then plugging back into ubuntu they are not useable
guys, any console based sound equalizer?
Hi. I've just moved from windows to ubuntu. I'm can't browse to files stored on my nas in certain apps i.e puddletag,transmission. Is there anyway to mount my unraid server as a local drive or a work around ?
XiaolinDraconis:  you do use the safely remove... feture in windows befor unplugging them>
ah seems the current drive im using is ntfs
usually i just shutdown
dr_willis, any ideas how to change the resolution of the pttys? I think if I set it to a widescreen resolution it would not be cut off, although I son't see why it is cut off in the first place
join #reprap
this drive is ntfs, i havent used it for said situation yet. so not sure if there will be errors
rifter:  theres the various framebuffer features. but i havent messed with them ina ges
ill have to pay closer attention this time around, its been awhile since ive trusted windows with my usb drives
last time i had a problem was my thumb drive with a bootable os on it, used the free space to transfer a file from windows to ubuntu, corrupted
Marvel, I don't know exactly hoe to do it, but edit fstab to automount, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently
and that i know i safely removed
Hello everyone. Empathy is giving me a hard time these days. I'm using empathy 3.6 under Quantal, and it's giving me a "Certificate self signed" error with my jabber.org account. They had some problems with the certs but it's fixed by now, and empathy is the only IM client behaving this way. It's also behaving strangely with MSN accounts. Any explanations ? Thanks.
BlackNarcissus: maybe you gotta delete some crazy certificate files like you do with SSH
I'll have a read Rexter thx
NLNM: I looked up about adding or deleting certificates, but I can't find them. Maybe a reinstall...
yea, if others can get connected OK and its just a local thing, i'd guess a reinstall may help
why not
Hi all
sup BluesKaj
I'm using Pinguy OS, it uses a custom Gnome 3 Menu. Does anyone know how to change a menu item icon?
hey NLNM
Rexter: better ask the pinguy guys
k1l, yea small community, not very active. Thought someone here might know.
dr_willis, gonna try setting grub as recommended here: http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/17027/how-to-set-the-resolution-in-text-consoles-troubleshoot-when-any-vga-fail
dr_willis, gotta reboot for that.. wish me luck
i have ubuntu 12.04 installed in my laptop bt the system automatically restarts this happens many time.what should i do to fix this
kanha: have you tested the RAM using memtest in Grub?
Rexter: pinguy isn't supported here
Rexter: I suggest you ask in #PinguyOS
no
hi all.  i have a NTFS usb drive that says it is "mounted" in gparted, but i cannot see it's mount point nor access the disk.  any ideas?
Rexter: None of the Ubuntu based OSes are supported in the Ubuntu channels.
fluitfries: run:   mount
^^
Rexter: similarly,Ubuntu is based on Debian, but if you ask for support in #debian you will be pointed here
ActionParsnip: no
kanha: I recommend it, also clear your fans if it is a laptop PC
ActionParsnip, i see a listing for a "gvfs-fuse-daemon" but i do not see a mount point
ActionParsnip:yes it's a laptop pc.can you tell how to clear fans
ActionParsnip, unless /home/username/.gvfs is the mount point??
kanha: compressed air is useful
fluitfries: isn't it in /run somewhere now?
Hello everyone. Empathy 3.6.0.3 is giving me a "Certificate self-signed" error with jabber.org. Other IM clients don't. Any suggestions ? Thanks a lot.
fluitfries: tried looking in /run/user/$USER/gvfs
does empathy create self-signed certs? can you do it again?
login to jabber.org and delete ur old one?
NLNM: Delete my jabber account ?
ActionParsnip, i don't have /run/user :(
ActionParsnip, and i don't see it anywhere else in /run
fluitfries: what is the output of:   lsb_release -sc
no no no no no, BlackNarcissus what am i thinking, its natural to get warnings for a self-signed cert
so long as you know what you're getting
ActionParsnip, precise
NLNM: Well the thing is, jabber.org had some problems with their certs but they fixed it and pidgin and such don't give me a warning... I figured it was empathy's fault.
it could be that empathy doesnt know how to handle the update
if ur stuck on empathy, just reinstall it, try and get rid of all traces
NLNM: I just did, remove and purge, deleted config files, but still...
No luck.
I see now that I approached my question poorly. I have another machine running ubuntu 12.04 box with Gnome shell. I use the Cardapio menu. I'm trying to figure out how to change a particular application icon. Does anyone know how to do that?
seems to be a bug in empathy
fluitfries: do you know the names of some files on the device?
search results show others experiencing it
fluitfries: sudo updatedb; locate filenamepart     may show it.
ActionParsnip, hey, another reboot fixed it...  somehow
fluitfries: sweet :)
ActionParsnip, ty for your help as always.  :D
fluitfries: i try
ActionParsnip, you're the man.
Rexter:  program menu icons are normally defined in the progams whatevername.desktop file
NLNM: Yes, I saw the bug reports, but they were kinda old, so I figured maybe someone here would have a workaround.
NLNM: At first I thought the error came from jabber.org
dr_willis, thanks. Yea the icon is also appearing incorrectly in Docky. How do i get to this?
BlackNarcissus: just signed up for a jabber.org account using trillian, no errors
fluitfries: just trying to strengthen the distro :). Thanks
NLNM: Yeah, other IM clients like pidgin, psi, etc don't give any warning... Thanks for your help by the way. I'm puzzled.
Pidgin rocks
;)
ActionParsnip: Yes, I realized that recently.
dr_willis, looks like that was the right way to change the resolutions. It made the pttys quit cutting things off. I'll have to play with the resolutions to get what I want, but that worked.  Thanks for your help
ActionParsnip: But it's not integrated in the messaging menu in Quantal. :(
BlackNarcissus: it is if you get the 2.10.6 version
BlackNarcissus: had the same issue in Raring, now its alllllll goooood
ActionParsnip: From pidgin's PPA ?
BlackNarcissus: maybe snoop around /etc/ssl/cert
*      /etc/ssl/certs
Anyone know how to report a bug against ubuntu.com?
BlackNarcissus: https://launchpad.net/~pidgin-developers/+archive/ppa/   the same
NLNM: I'll check then. You can manually download a certificate from jabber.org but I didn't know where to put it.
BlackNarcissus: there is even a deb to add the ppa :)
ActionParsnip: Thanks, I'll give it a try if you say it's integrated in the menu. Empathy 3.6 is very buggy in Quantal, so I may switch permanently.
BlackNarcissus: Its what I've used the last 12 years :) (well, it used to be called Gaim)
ActionParsnip: Haha, I remember using Gaim on Red Hat when I was a teenager
In case anyone here works on the ubuntu.com website, I just raised https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-website/+bug/1080067 because the download links for 12.10 amd64 (maybe more) are completely wrong
antonpiatek: I always use cdimage.com
hey guys i have a question
ActionParsnip, thanks, will remember that - still terrible to give users the wrong ISO
will Lubuntu 12.04 get any security updates/patches after its 18 months support period
antonpiatek: oh absolutely. The bug has been reported so it should get sorted
Ttslayer: yes, it uses the packages from the same repo
ActionParsnip, shame I can't up the priority - as I think this is pretty serious given it is th main public website
antonpiatek: i still get the right iso though
oh great so its like half an LTS
antonpiatek: I agree
hi
jrib, following the url in my bug report?
antonpiatek: yes
ActionParsnip, as you say - raised, so im sure someone will look at it
antonpiatek: well, by actually using the site anyway.
jrib, ?! how odd... I totally don't
antonpiatek: I get the 64 bit download using the link you put in the bug report
antonpiatek: the link does say bits=32, but it takes me to a amd64 iso
just a last question before i bounce outta here, what support specifically does LTS provide?
hello, how can I run two programs at once in Ubuntu via command line ?
my ubuntu says: your computer going fuck you
jrib, DJones odd - suddenly working for me now too - I wonder if someone else just noticed and fixed it
Kheo: just open 2 terminals
antonpiatek: if i just click on your second link, then it's a i386 iso
Kheo: program1 & program2 & ...
fingerman_, no need for that kind of language
my ubuntu jumping from a roof
Kheo: screen command
fingerman_: No need for swearing in the channel
Kheo: its program1 && program2
thanks I will try this
Ttslayer: No.
Ttslayer: no, that's not what he asked
oh ok
exist any DE who is copy of DE used in Mac OS X?.
so how I do it ?
my ubuntu going fuck this
Kheo: see what arand said
fingerman_: mind your language please
yup i just checked Arand is right
arand: If I want to run sc_serv and sc_trans at same time.. I do like this: sc_serv & sc_trans ?
they are executable.
why dont u try it and check?
I don't know how to try..because I know the executables are executed with ./
...
./command
yes..and how can I run two like that ?
Kheo: ./program1 & ./program2 works just as well
 && will run command 2 after command 1 sucussfully exits
ok I will try
I'm trying to connect to a tomcat server (locally) and also an elasticsearch server, without success.
thanks.
arand Ttslayer jrib thanks.
Curl returns "curl: (7) couldn't connect to host" every time, why is that?
Kheo: "If a command is terminated by the control operator &, the shell executes the command in the background in a subshell. The shell  does  not wait  for the command to finish, and the return status is 0." from the  bash manual page ;)
no probs

hey, ive got a server with a netxtreme bcm5704 network adapter. the ubuntu alternate setup just hangs at network configuration. any ideas? some sources say that the setup should ask for the firmware, but it doesnt. i just get a blank screen.
How can i make a launcher for rtorrent?
linusoleander: is the server running/listening?
brandon420:  somthing like 'xterm -e rtorrent'
m1rach4n: curl http://localhost.8080 => "curl: (7) couldn't connect to host" doesn't that mean that the server isn't running?
It's up in some way, I can see that a java processes is running using "ps aux | grep java | head"
m1rach4n: this is the output: https://gist.github.com/1d59c35eb2cf711fc172
dr_willis, where would that put the launcher?
linusoleander: localhost.8080 or localhost:8080?
http://127.0.0.1:8080
http://localhost.8080 << do you mean :
Without the dot
brandon420:  no where.. you still need to make a .desktop file to run that command
brandon420:  since rtorrent has no gui. you need to launch a terminal that runs the program
linusoleader, you may check with netstat -an first
linusoleander: have a look at "sudo netstat -lnp" to see if it's actually listening
tsimpson: fraggle_ It isn't listed
linusoleander: have a look at the logs then
If I want to change my Firefox icon to something custom in unity, how would I do that?

or make a copy of it
dr_willis: Helo! Is @FloodBot1 a Bot?
BlackNarcissus: did you log off and on?
klausl: https://wiki.edubuntu.org/IRC/Bots
ActionParsnip: Yes, I restarted altogether, and pidgin doesn't show up. I even removed empathy. It seems it's a known bug with libmessaging-menu because they're porting some api. But you say it works for you, I'm jealous :D
BlackNarcissus: i'm using raring :)
ActionParsnip: Oh, ok. I'll have to wait then.
dr_willis: Rexter is using PInguyos, just an fyi

Hello again. I have managed to get past the black screen after the ATI drivr installation but now I have no Unity...
if i have $path looks like /usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games: No such file or directory. how can i rid of the last "no such file" ?
alexGla: did you add a folder to the path in ~/.bashrc ?
ActionParsnip, no
alexGla: what is the output of:  lsb_release -sc
ActionParsnip, lucid
alexGla: ok, bit old but supported
alexGla: let me see what I can find as the default
alexGla  tip: instead of struggling, first update to something newer
upgrade, rather
alexGla: try:    export PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games
alexGla: are you running a desktop OS?
ActionParsnip, yes
alexGla: Lucid is EOL in April next year on the desktop, you may want to consider an upgrade soon
alexGla: I just found online that you have the normal PATH variable for Lucid, try the command I gave, it may help. If so, we can put it in ~/.bashrc
ActionParsnip, the command u gave didn't change path
alexGla: try:     export PATH='/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games'
still have this annoying "No such file"
alexGla: did you add anything to ~/.bashrc ?
ActionParsnip, the same result. no i didn;t add
alexGla: can you run:  sudo apt-get install pastebinit; clear; env | pastebinit      what is output please?
why is so many people in here?
and say nothing

How can I replace python3.2 with python3.3 ?
in ubuntu 12.10
alexGla: looks ok, you can use the command 'file'  to make sure that all those folders exist
x1sc0: just install it
ActionParsnip, well, i did it, but I still have python3.2 around, and if I do apt-get autoremove python3.2 it wants to remove update-manager among other packages
x1sc0: yes, if an app can use python 3.3, it will use it
x1sc0: why do you only want python 3.3?
x1sc0: python is a massive part of your OS, I wouldn't mess with it unless you know what you  are doing?
ActionParsnip, right now when i do python3 it points to python3.2 I'd like it to point to python3.3 if possible
ActionParsnip, that's why i didn't do it ;)
x1sc0: python3 is just a symlink, so if you point it to the python you want to use, it will change. Again, be VERY careful
x1sc0: if you want to use python3.3 you could just use the binary absolutely, rather than using the abstracted 'python'
ActionParsnip, all files exist in the path.
alexGla: and what about the rest of the ones mentioned in the 'env' output?
ok so i have to stop mysql and apache services in startup how?

yup

which is best Music player for Xubuntu ?
Kiranvotio  depends on which you prefer
Does anyone know how to switch from the text bootup screen (says 'Ubuntu 12.10' with 4 dots) to the graphical one? This happens whenever I upgrade install of fresh installing.
SouravAJ: if it's an upstart job (mysql should be), use overrides as described in upstart's cookbook: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/cookbook/#override-files .  If it's still using an old sysvinit-style script (I believe apache2 still does), then install and use sysv-rc-conf (and stop it from running on run level 2).  You can tell a job is upstart-style if it has a .conf file in "/etc/init" (read closely, not
"/etc/init.d")
it must work fine
exaile is not working
Kiranvotio  try a few, then decide what player suits your needs best
rhythombox too it aint loads the music files MonkeyDust
Kiranvotio  you have my advice
yeah
jrib: thanx i got it
how do i see what filesystem a disk uses?
Kiranvotio: there is no single best, or the others would be abandoned as nobody would use the others, as one is best
diverdude  sudo blkid
Kiranvotio: whay is the best music player for ANY OS? It simply doesn't exist
MonkeyDust when i logon to ubuntustudio it shows another popup stating that to choose session is there anyway to  avoid that step and logon to default session spontaneoulsy without selecting
Kiranvotio  that phrase is heard to read
hard
Kiranvotio: all you will get are opinions, none are 'best' they are just the ones the people replyingprefer
ActionParsnip yeah you are correct  there are no ideal players
Kiranvotio: so why ask like there is one?
MonkeyDust how to skip that "select session step ?
i cant connect to webmin remotely, can some one help me?
only localhost
Kiranvotio: if you want a lightweight player then deadbeef is pretty good. VLC always gets great press, gnome-mplayer is pretty sweet too.

just trying webmin

ActionParsnip, why is it better to upgrade from ubuntu 10? It is stable version and has less bugs than newer ones.
i understand u
rootpt: its not advised on Ubuntu or debian
ok, i will stop and remove webmin
alexGla: because after April, you won't get any support or updates
MonkeyDust is the Version 12.10 is buggy i always get a crash report
alexGla: plus the packages in it are so very old now
ActionParsnip, ok
it's the last one to have gnome 2 though, isn't it?
user123abc: supported, yes
Hi guys! Anyone know how to, with SED or AWK only capture/print text that is connected with dots? Like this string: this.is.a.string ?
I just realised nothing can access my mysql database anymore, it says cannot connect, why would this be?
I did set it to be remote
Anyone know how I can restore graphic Plymouth logo at bootup rather than my ugly text after upgrading to 12.10?
cuddylier, is it running ?
How do I check?
I was able to type mysql commands
cuddylier, thats not mean your server was running
MadsRC: http://snipplr.com/view/35449/extract-ip-addresses-from-apache-access-log/
Thanks ActionParsnip, I'll try to work that into something I can use :)
have you installed ubuntustudio plymouth or any other plymouth thems ?
<sgerbino> have you installed ubuntustudio plymouth or any other plymouth thems ?
no I have not
hi guys how would I stop my server from displaying mail -n after the motd ? :X
cuddylier, check with ps or top or others tool
blackshirt How do I check if it's running?
Ah, k
Kiranvotio: just the stock plymouth from my fresh 12.04 install, now upgraded to 12.10 and I reverted to the text
cuddylier, ps aux | grep mysqld
cuddylier: sudo service mysqld status
doesn't need sudo, but no harm done
because i was able to remove the motd and last login info and I set a custom dynamic motd but I can't get the mail -n not to show up before  it

cuddylier: you can pastebin text, bit lighter than an image
cuddylier: seems to be running
How do I copy text on ssh, ctrl + c?
Any other ideas then? :(
try this sudo update-alternatives --set default.plymouth /lib/plymouth/themes/ubuntu-logo/ubuntu-logo.plymouth
cuddlier: shift ctrl c i believe
cuddylier: CTRL+SHIFT+C
ActionParsnip: http://pastebin.com/W0Qrg7id
cuddylier: if you are using putty, then as soon as you let go of the mouse, the selected text is on the clipoard
sgerbino sudo update-alternatives --set default.plymouth /lib/plymouth/themes/ubuntu-logo/ubuntu-logo.plymouth'
Kiranvotio: ok I'll try that and give it a reboot
cuddylier: you are root, you don't need sudo
brb :D
k
cuddylier, copy text?
sgerbino or reinstall the plymouth thingy it may works
in putty?
Yes, but they told me
oh nvm
ActionParsnip beat me to it
Actionparsnip Would that even make a difference though?
Kiranvotio: sudo apt-get remove plymouth && sudo apt-get install plymouth?
cuddylier: try:
cuddylier: sudo update-alternatives --config default.plymouth
Same error
do it from synaptic
fair enough will do
cuddylier: it doesn't make a difference, just an FYI. If you are root you have all the access you need, so sudo isn't needed
thanks ill try now
What's that?
Ah...nvm
sgerbino do it using synapptic
For some reason it must have made itself local or something?
Actually, even local applications can't connect
Actually, ignore that lol
cuddylier: could try:   sudo apt-get --reinstall install plymouth-theme-ubuntu-logo
What is that ActionParsnip? Some logo?
cuddylier: its te default ubuntu logo splash for plymouth
Is that not a gui?
no lol
cuddylier: its a splash for plymouth, when the OS starts booting, so you get a pretty thing to look at while the OS starts up.
ActionParsnip Does that help with my issue though?
cuddylier: no idea, you started going on about plymouth......
No I didn't
Someone else must have
cuddylier: ahh yes, my mistake, sorry
cuddylier: you could have a command in /etc/rc.local above the 'exit 0' line to stop the process I guess
ActionParsnip Got the database working! But it's only accessiable locally...how do I change that?
cuddylier: not sure there, could try in  #mysql  if it is mysql
cuddylier: can the clients ping the server?
Anyone else know how to make my mysql accessible remotely?
cuddylier: http://www.debianhelp.co.uk/remotemysql.htm
ty
cuddylier: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=remote+access+mysql    source
cuddylier: have you tried that?
nope
cuddylier: so you didn't search the web first?
No, I'm sorry :(
I only found that out
cuddylier: be fair
A minute ago
hi all
hi labcoattech
I used Grub Customizer to make windows 7 the default os on a dualboot system with Ubuntu 12.10, now the option for windows 7 is missing, can anyone please help
Kiranvotio: thanks for your help, i tried update-alternatives and reinstall plymouth -- no dice. Then I found and tried this script 'fixplymouth' and it's back :D
best fix for plymouth i find is ti just disable it. ;)
ohh :) sgerbino
lol dr_willis :D
how do i run java as root
Is there no way I can allow everyone without having to whitelist certain IPs to removely connect to my mysql? All the tutorials I find make me whitelist certain IPs
labcoattech:  check out your grub configs and the output of /etc/grub.d/30_os-prober  to see if its detecting windows.  sudo update-grub may have it rescan/set up windows back on the menus
cuddylier: Setup iptables to filter out certain IPs.
cuddylier:  its normally practice. block everything, allow only friends to enter.  ;)
update-grub only found
dr_willis I want to allow everyone though
dr_willis *

labcoattech:  check that /etc/grub.d/30_os-prober is executable and see if you can run it and see what output it gives
Is there a way to allow localhost access as well as remote access?
http://paste.ubuntu.com/1365248/
cuddylier: Sure. Allow remote access, and localhost access will work, too.
I imagine mysql has some settings soemwhere cuddylier for what ips to allow.
Is Ubuntu 12.10 an LTS version or not yet?
sorry I am new to linux
bekks Even when I bind mysql to a certain IP?
 #mysql may knwo more perhaps.
good idea :P
cuddylier: Binding it to an IP allow remote access.
Sach: 12.10 releease will never be lts
Sach  12.04 is LTS, 14.04 will be the next
esto q pedo
q pinche pedo
the results from update-grub was http://paste.ubuntu.com/1365248/
esto pa q sirve
MonkeyDust: To upgrade from 10.04, do I have to go through all the versions to get to 12.04 or can I jump straight to 12.04 through a terminal command?
q pedo
me confunde todo esto
Sach  dunno, i fresh install each time
<Sach> no you can upgrade to 12.04 direclty
Kiranvotio: Do you know what command I neeed?
Sach: do-release-upgrade
bekks: but how do I specify that I want 12.04?
labcoattech:  looks like its not seeing the windows install at all.. OR  the /etc/grub.d/30_os-prober is not executable so its not running. try running  /etc/grub.d/30_os-prober
aaaaaaaa
how do i run it?
<Sach> why to go for command just update manager is enough to do it
labcoattech:  /etc/grub.d/30_os-prober
Kiranvotio: yes, but update manager makes me go through 11.10 before I can get to 12.04.  I want to bypass 11.10.
Sach: Then you are on 11.04, correct?
bekks: yes
Sach: Then you cant update to 12.04 directly, since 11.04 is no LTS.
getting command not found when I type 30_os-prober in the grub.d directory
bekks: but update manager prompts me to upgrade to 11.10
Sach: Using 10.04, you could update to 12.04, because 10.04 (and 12.04) is a LTS.
Sach: you'll need to upgrade to 11.10, then to 12.04.  Or you can clean install the release you desire and restore your user data from backup
<Sach>  in software sources you need to change the option under the tab updates
Sach: You cannot update to 12.04 directly. You have to update to 11.10 first.
Kiranvotio: That wont change a thing.
<Sach> set it to lon term supports only then you can upgrade the system to 12.04
update
Kiranvotio: Ignoring intermediate release is just not supported.
Sach  backup and fresh install may be faster and more efficient
dr_willis: getting command not found when I type 30_os-prober in the grub.d directory
Sach: and cleaner
labcoattech:  use the full path ===> /etc/grub.d/30_os-prober OR if its in the local directory you use the ./commandname   type syntax
thanks
labcoattech:  also use ls -l to see if its excecutable or not
dr_willis: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1365274/
<Sach> just reload in theupdate manager that would flags the 12.04 upgrade
hello
<marcappuccino> hello
Kiranvotio  better use TAB to autocomplete nicks
labcoattech:  id check whatever tool you used to tweak your grub. it may have turned off the os-prober somehow. it seems to be seeing windows.  make sure the 20_osprober file is excutable and try sudo update-grub
ok MonkeyDust
Does asterisks work (*) like in bash for autocomplete?
ls foo*
Kir*
:)  the shell expands the * befor the ls command sees the information
No then
Yeah jjust wanted to check in IRC
so im not clear on what you are  asking. ;)
I said 'No then' just after you said your first comment, as a reply to myself because I did not see yous ;)
hi
Hi, is there a way to create a bootable iso usb stick without using unetbootin?
fmor Ubuntu 12.10
*from
labcoattech: have you tried removing old kernels?
kronk: sure, use the usb-creator app
Hi all! I'm experiencing slowness (100kb max) on my network interface on Ubuntu 12.10. I'm a little lost as to what I need to do to fix the issue. Any ideas?
just sayin Hi
ActionParsnip, E: Unable to locate package usb-creator
hello! should i move my stuff before upgrading system
I used grub customizer to select windows 7 as the default os, clicked save, restart and now windows 7 is nolonger in the grub menu
<kronk> MENU>ADMINSTARATION >
kronk: its in a default install, search dash for it
ActionParsnip, that app only does ubuntu iso's ?
MrNorm: wget https://dl.dropbox.com/u/8850924/sysctl; cat ./sysctl | sudo tee -a /etc/sysctl.conf > /dev/null; sudo sysctl -p
<kronk> yeah what else you want ?
you can use dd from terminal to make bootable usb
Kiranvotio, I need to burn an ISO for another distro
without unetbootin
wait
kronk: it does others. As BurningPants says, you can use dd to make a bootable uSB / SD card but it won'y have the option of persistence (if you need it)
ActionParsnip
Oops
ActionParsnip, it doesn't do the fedora 17 iso that I have
ActionParsnip: thanks, I've applied and I'm bouncing the box now
<kronk> logon wondows os you'll have a lot of otptions
options
MrNorm: should add more memory to networking, makes thinsg a bit better
but you could create a storage partition for data persistence
kronk: try usb-creator-gtk
Kiranvotio, I'm asking for a way to write a fedora 17 iso to usb from ubuntu 12.10
ActionParsnip, that's the same application
kronk: it's not
ActionParsnip, in that case, I couldn't find the original app you anmed
*named
kronk: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1365314/
<kronk> i am waiting for someome to answeer your query
kronk: why are they completely different versions if they are the same app?
kronk: how is that possible, let alone concievable?
ActionParsnip, usb-creator-gtk only does Ubuntu iso's
ActionParsnip, what other application could I use?
i'm waiting for someone to answer mine :) should i move my stuff to another partition before upgrading ubuntu?
ActionParsnip The new sysctl didn't do the trick unfortunately. I can get files from the server at about 9MB/s, but sending files to the server / downloading files on the server usually hits a hall at 100K/s. That new config added 40K/s to the overall speed, but it's not quite there.
ActionParsnip,  I would use unetbootin but it doesn't support fedora 17
not the one from the repo anyway
MrNorm: also try disabling ipv6
and the one from sourceforge has a bug stopping it from working
Anyone can help me? Filezilla not connecting. I have ubuntu12.04
ActionParsnip what's weird is that SABNZBd can do 2.2MB/s over the interet using the same connection.. Which is odd
kronk: if you tell it to use the ISO, does it give an error?
ActionParsnip already disabled it to help troubleshoot
MrNorm: if you run:   sudo lshw -C network      what network chip are you using?
ActionParsnip, unetbootin doesn't start (the one from sourceforge) no error and unetbootin just doesn't haev fedora 17 in it's supported list
kronk: it doesn't need to be in the list
eter_surfer: no, you should always backup (copy, not move) to a offline medium
ActionParsnip, it asks me to select a distro name from the list. What do I select?
ActionParsnip: Output from that command: http://pastebin.com/S1YVrGSQ
ActionParsnip, it asks me to select a distro name from the list. What do I select?
kronk: check the site for compatibility, i its ok then manually download the ISO,MD5 test it then tell unetbootin to use that
ActionParsnip, I don't know what option to select
kronk: none, look a little further down, see the ISO bit, use that
right
let me see
kronk: so the 'list' is nothing
kronk: you have the ISO, you tell unetbootin to use that....
kronk: did you even see that option? The app is childishly simple
m1rach4n: thanks
ActionParsnip, I know see that you can bypass the list
thanks
kronk: reading is good
I usually dd the iso... since my boards can recognize it...
ActionParsnip, it's easy to miss something
Anyone can help me? Filezilla not connecting. I have ubuntu12.04
kronk: before making choices and judgements, read al the available detail, then jump
ActionParsnip, it is easy to overlook details sometimes. I am only Human
abailarri: can you connect to localhost from the server itself?
kronk: hence my advice ;)
ActionParsnip, I'm sure you're perfect
and will never make a mistake
hi
abailarri: have you tried another server?
kronk: didn't say I didn't. I'm advising how you can avoid them more frequently
are there any IT consulting companys in the USA, firms that sell you to big companys and pays you bad (outsourcing)
Anyone had a chance to look at the paste? :)
are there any IT consulting companys in the USA, firms that sell you to big companys and pays you bad (outsourcing)?
ActionParsnip, it's possible to read something indepth and still make a mistake
m1rach4n, Yes, and does not connect to none
because of inbuilt assumptions
thats an idea, i was sick thinking about browsing whole file system. thx again
I'm not  a moron
kronk: well, it seems you missed the info, reading the whole app shows you can use an ISO. Rather than just seeing the first drop down and not seeing what you expect
ActionParsnip, correct. It's still possible to make a mistake even when you are well informed. Please stop being a dick
kronk: just a friendly advise, not being a dick at all.
MrNorm: if you run:  ifconfig; lsb_release -a      what is output please?
ActionParsnip sure: http://pastebin.com/2W5AXyDm :)
BlueEagle, volunteer or not, there's no need to be rude to someone by telling them to RTM.
BluesKaj, ^
MrNorm: you have a 10% error packets recieved.
I saw that as I posted the link. That can't be good
MrNorm: tried a different cable, or port on the router / switch?
I wonder why I can download from the server so quickly then? It's just uploads to the server that I seem to have issues with :/
abailarri: firewall checked?
I can try one , I have a few cables
kronk, he wasn't rude ..he was giving you good advice ..take it or leave it , that's up to you .
m1rach4n, I don't have firewall activated
BluesKaj, he's gone. lets move on
MrNorm: is it 100Mb ethernet?
yeah bazhang , just noticed , no need to move on if he's gone :)
ActionParsnip the cabling? I think it's standard cat 5e to a 1gbps switch. Never had issues with the cabling in the past
abailarri: then show the log :)
MrNorm: is the router 1Gbps too?
m1rach4n, the log in filezilla?
The router isn't, but the switch is separate and network transfers are happening internally. Both devices are on the 1Gbps switch.
m1rach4n, only says it can not connect
hello i got when tried to install teamviewer on my 12.10 64 bit. It gave me error libwin.dll.so . So i try to remove the old on by dpkg -r teamviewer but not removed . And i again download the latest 64bit now it ask to install billions of 32bit dependency. I decide to not install teamviewer so how can clean the repos pls?
ActionParsnip OK, done. I'm assuming that's forced the card into a particular state?
MrNorm: may help
MrNorm: its active immediately :)
MrNorm: sudo lshw -C network     will show the state
hi, I lost my sound system on my lenovo X121e, when I attached it via HDMI on a TV. How can I reactivate it ?
any idea why the battery meter on my lapto is only accurate right after boot, and then fails to update the rest of the time the computer is on?
abailarri: yea, and the lines before "Error:	Could not connect to server" ?
willi44: use the sound app in dash, check the output device
ActionParsnip thanks, but it hasn't worked :( http://cl.ly/image/1o0e3O2Z343f .. I'm sending a file over SSH in transmit with the same results. SMB transfers are pants too
my wireless device is not working
Well that's not the screenshot I hoped for!
there is is a dummy now !
ActionParsnip .. anyway, it was uploading at 100Kb/s again
does anyone know of any software that can help me add windows 7 back to the grub boot menu

labcoattech: have you tried just runing update-grub? thats all i had to do
m1rach4n,
ActionParsnip I'm afraid not. Transfers going into the server are still slow. Downloading from the server are still fine!
labcoattech: what is the output of:   sudo update-grub; dpkg -l | grep linux-image; uname -a
inhies: tried that did not work
labcoattech: please use a pastebin to host
ActionParsnip I find it strange that some apps like SABNZBd can also download at my 2.2MBps (maxing out our internet connection), but a standard wget only downloads at 100Kbps.
ActionParsnip internal transfers can download from the server fine, but uploads to the server are so slow :(
dpkg failed to install teamviewer on 64 for its many dependency. I don't want to run apt-get -f install . How can i clean it please?
guys. what is the default method that ubuntu is using to get installed on Macbook pros?? EFI/bios?? grub/syslinux?

ActionParsnip: I'll do that now. Brb!
labcoattech: hmm, weird
hey guys, I got a question. I FINALLY got a CD-ROM drive (or burner, either way) so I can do a fresh install of ubuntu, but my computer, inside the OS, doesn't recognize it. I went to disk utility and it confirms that it's plugged, but it tells me on the SMART status "Not Supported." Is there any way fix this?
thinking it might be easier to use windows 7 install disc and restore the windows boot manager
hi all. I want to install ubuntu onto an existing partition, but when I select the partition that I want to use it asks me to enter a size for the partition. the size that's filled in by default doesn't correspond with the partition size that's in the partition table. the size in the dialog is 1 MB larger. how do I know what size the partition really is?
mibbit, you can find partition information on the Disk Utility app :)
dpkg -r teamviewer does not work for me ... Please help me . Without cleaning it i can't install anything using apt-get
abailarri: tried other clients? I can connect to it...
mibbit32434, disk utility will tell you what your disks are, and their size.
food12: pastebin what happens
how do i make a public share from an ext4 mount?
what is "disk utility" the partitioner in the installation wizard?
hey guys, when i plug my headphones only one side is playing sound. I have tried with two different headphones and both work well on other devices (ipod, stereo, ...). Does any of you has any idea of what is could be causing it?
diverdude: By sharing it using a file sharing protocol liek NFS or CIFS.
labcoattech: if you can get someone who dual boots to see what files the WIndows OS is in (probably /etc/grub.d/30_os-prober)
labcoattech: http://askubuntu.com/questions/110698/add-windows-to-my-boot-menu
ActionParsnip new cable, new port.. No change :( .. Could it be something weird with the card I'm using? I'm considering going out and buying a new card.
Anyone familiar with persistently defining static routes in Ubuntu?  I have two interfaces with the same network, but need to make sure the routes out are only on one.
mibbit32434, when you boot up a live USB it'll give you the option to try out ubuntu, or install it. Choose to try it out, and the disk utility should be under the "system" menu on the top taskbar (for me) or on the software search
ok, thanks for the help. I guess I'll figure it out
ActionParsnip: this is the output of 30_os-prober http://paste.ubuntu.com/1365274/

m1rach4n, 10.04 LST. I know "it's only supported for another 6 months" and whatnot, but it's the best I can do in my current situation (BIOS doesn't support USB booting, no floppy or optical drive)
it says the headers for the current running kernel were not found
I am using version 12.10 :D
bjrohan: not something I ever used

bekks, how? Through the package manager? Unlike most people who try linux, I'm using it not because of "security" or whatever, but simply because it works on my crappy old rig.
Flyzoola: Yes, packages are installed using the package manager.
Why is it that this happens:
mitchell@derp:~/steam$ ls
hldsupdatetool.bin
mitchell@derp:~/steam$ ./hldsupdatetool.bin
-bash: ./hldsupdatetool.bin: No such file or directory
mmk
wolfmitchell: what ubuntu version?
12.04.1LTS
ActionParsnip: it's empty channel
according to /etc/motd
bekks, can you give me a terminal command to install smartmon-tools??
(over ssh, ubuntu server I believe)
demosfere: try #ubuntu-devel
wolfmitchell: 64bit?
Yes
wolfmitchell: chmod +x ./hldsupdatetool.bin; sudo ./hldsupdatetool.bin
It does have +x
wolfmitchell: install lib32gcc1
Ok
yup, works
Hi, I have a little problem on xubuntu. I just installed my printer, Canon PIXMA iP2000, but it is as if the system does not recognize it. give the go ahead for printing, and I leave the process up to tell me that the printer is not connected. How can I solve this hitch??
rusfus, what does linuxprinting.org say about that printer
wolfmitchell: so it needed making executable ;)
rusfus, check their database is the first step
ActionParsnip, nope, lib32gcc1
It was already executable
wolfmitchell: how do you mean?
I did chmod a+x hldsupdatetool.bin #Once I downloaded it
wolfmitchell: you can't ust name'lib32gcc1' and expect an intelligent reply
bazhang how do I?
....
I did apt-get install lib32gcc1
bekks, ok I got an output from sudo smartctl -a but tells me "ERROR: smartctl requires a device name as the final command-line argument."
wolfmitchell: maybe you just needed libc6-i386 .  I'm not sure.  If you are curious, try removing lib32gcc1 and see if it still works if you have libc6-i386 :)
as jrib said
jrib, too late now, it works ;D
don't want to break it
rusfus, go to the website, choose from the menu, look at what it says about your printer
ok, but I was curious :(
bazhang ok
Hi all! i recently installed "unclutter". now its starting on system-startup automatically. How can i deactivate it?
wolfmitchell: why not just install smartmontools?
NFisher: pastebin: dpkg -L unclutter
i dont wannt to "kill" it every time i reboot
NFisher: is it listed in the startup app listed in dash?
Q/ can I force a vidoe mode in Ubunty?
Can someone please direct me in the way to find a solution to my problem?
ActionParsnip, idk
ActionParsnip, it is not.
[reason: trying to fully use a KVM switch to swap pooter monitor & tv - doing this causes wrong video on pooter monitor but correct option not available]
wolfmitchell: its in that package....
NFisher: actually, just read /etc/default/unclutter .  Let me knof if you have any questions
NFisher: if you type:   sudo service      then hit TAB a few times, is it listed?
know even
hi, I was running updates and it updated my kernel to the newest, but now it has hung while configuring!
I just needed hldsupdatetool to work so I can start a tf2/garrysmod server
Flyzoola: Install the smartmon-tools package and run sudo smartctl -a, and pastebin the output please.
I'm scared to kill it in case it trashes my system
jrib, http://pastebin.com/yEFVceGF
NFisher: /etc/default/unclutter should sort you out
ActionParsnip, "Display all 3030 possibilities? (y or n)" :/
bekks, http://pastebin.com/bH6ibtUA
NFisher:  after the word service, add a SPACE then hit TAB, you will see available services listed
Flyzoola: Then try sudo smartctl -a /dev/sda    -- if sda is your harddisk in question.
ActionParsnip: it's not a service
NFisher: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1365473/
jrib: ahh I see
ActionParsnip: do you know any fix for my problem ?
bekks, under volumes in disk utility  it doesn't read anything for "device" so I couldn't say which is which
ActionParsnip: it's started because of /etc/X11/Xsession.d/90unclutter but that reads (well-commented) configuration from /etc/default/unclutter
oh wait, I think it's "sr0"
demosfere: I have no idea
Flyzoola: A cdrom device never provides SMART information.
ActionParsnip, still the same
ActionParsnip, im on 10.04
NFisher: jrib seems to know about this
jrib, thanks, i guess this should do!
http://pastebin.com/A4gqCqGG here is what happened during the upgrade that seems to have hung while configuring the new kernel
how do I make sure it is done configuring?
ActionParsnip, yeah i guess hes right :) thanks for the help!
ActionParsnip: no answer in devel channel

hello all
i have vlc bugging out on me, and even "sudo kill [pid]" doesnt work
pkill -9 vlc
kodak: try:  kill -9 PID
what does the -9 do?
SIGKILL
kodak: you only need sudo if the service doesn't belong to your user, which it will
kodak: so sudo isn't needed
ah, cool
but, sigkill doesnt tell me much im afraid >.<
kodak: kill -9 vlc
Hey All;  I've got Ubuntu 11.04 Server 32-bit running, with two network cards.  eth1=10/100Mbps_internalWebServer(VM), eth2=1Gbps_fileserver(HOST).  How can I ensure that the eth1 is dedicated to the web server only (via VM), and that eth2 (the better NIC) is used by default by all services? (i.e. I want eth2 to be my primary NIC) route tables and ifconfig: http://pastebin.com/dqh2fA0a
yay, answering questions with obscure answers
m1rach4n,  i have to say that's the most obnoxious smiley face i've ever seen posted on irc
What is the best way to upgrade from java 6 to 7, is there a command?
kill -9 [pid] didnt quite do it though, ps aux | grep 'vlc' still shows the same pid's being used by vlc, but they are now <defunct>, but i still have the bar icons
Question: how do you record sound from something on Ubuntu?
aguadito: please redirect it to Japanese teenagers
how can i go one step further is kill -9 doesnt kill the process?
Hello
if*
kodak: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zombie_process
thanks m1rach4n
ok, i read the link you sent m1rach4n, it says that i either have to kill the parent, or if the parent it dead, it belongs to init, and init sends the wait signal every now and then to reap zombies
since i see the vlc icons still up in my status bar, i guess i have parents somwehere
so, how can i hunt zombie parents?
kodak: just leave it, it's completely harmless.
not quite, i still cant open new movies, vlc stays black
I have mounted a drive like this in fstab: UUID=0c4e3816-72ab-4cd3-bbcc-bb277eec814c /storage ext4 defaults,noatime 0 0   But i still cannot access it from other computers....do i somehow need to setup some nfs or something?
diverdude: does it get mounted to /storage/?
jrib: yeah
diverdude: that's all fstab does
how to set bash prompt for all users?
in ubuntu
jrib: okay...how can i then share it with my other machines?
kodak: can you run:  ps -ef | grep vlc; lsb_release -a; uname -a     what is output. Please use a pastebin to hold the text
diverdude: samba, nfs, ssh, ...
jrib: yeah ok...if i want to share with nfs
diverdude: I recommend right click the mount point in nautilus and share it that way, simple and quick
DANYAL: well you can use /etc/bash.bashrc .  But keep in mind users can still set their own (and by default users' ~/.bashrc do define their own)
What is the best way to upgrade from java 6 to 7, is there a command?
ActionParsnip: i have only terminal
diverdude: you can share using /etc/samba/smb.conf    if you want to use samba
ActionParsnip, http://pastebin.com/rkW4AeaY
hi, is anyone willing to spare 5 min to help me with 12.10 and ati drivers, i cant make them to work, i am noob :(
ActionParsnip: and samba is just as fast as nfs?
 hi, I've got problem with installing new kernel 3.6.6 , could anyone help ?
kodak: you need to reboot, the parent is the parent of ALL processes. So killing PID 1 will make the OS hang etc.
menda: how are you installing it, and why are you installing it and what is the output of:  lsb_release -sc
ActionParsnip, that sounds like a pretty harmful problem with vlc(or is not vlc bugging)
kodak: possibly, did you use 'nohup' when you ran it?
ActionParsnip: I've got currently installed Ubuntu 10.04 on USB stick and I want to install 3.6.6 kernel with RT patch (Real Time)
ActionParsnip, not that i know of, i just opened a movie like i always do
menda: miing kernels from other releases is not advised nor supported
kodak: ok thats good. You will need to reboot to kill the process
ActionParsnip, have you seen this problem? (im hoping you have a way to avoid it in the future)
ActionParsnip: Ok, but it is the same problem with / without RT patch - I can't run newly installed kernel from USB stick
menda: how did you install the kernel?
I've got some errors connected with USB
ActionParsnip: hmm i dont have a file name /etc/exports Do i need to install something then or can i just create it?
kodak: I've seen processes have a parent of 1
diverdude: you'll need to install the samba package
I used some tutorials from Internet , first "make menuconfig" then "make -j5" then "make modules_install install"
ActionParsnip, i take the hint ;) thanks for helping :)
kodak: ehhhh... you tried to follow wikipedia's direction right?
ActionParsnip: what is it called
ActionParsnip: i just need to use nfs...i dont need samba
m1rach4n, no, i didnt see any directions as such
i mean, m1rach4n, it said what needs to be done, but not how and how to know which case from which
is it possible to use user background on gdm as it is on lightdm?
ActionParsnip: I've got errors on boot: Gave up waiting for root device. Common problems: [list of possibilities]
ALERT! /dev/disk/by-uuid/7337.... does not exist.
Dropping to a shell!
Sometimes I get error:
Can't read CTR while initializing i8042
isnt nfs faster than samba?
diverdude: once installed, run:   sudo nano /etc/samba/smb.conf     and add these lines:  http://paste.ubuntu.com/1365579/     change 'user1 user2' to usernames in the server you have, then run:   sudo smbpasswd -a $USER     and you can add a password. You can then authenticate as the username you set, using the password you set :)
menda: we cannot support self-rolled kernels here
ActionParsnip: where can I find help ?
menda: #linux   or #kernel
ok thx
can anyone help me with broken python3?
I installed the python3-distupgrade and it has hosed my system
hey guyz, where can i download a non wubi iso file??? regards

diverdude: that's how I set up shares
diverdude: add to smb.conf, restart smbd service, done
diverdude: you control who has access to what with the allowed / disallowed lists :)

but man, i suck with linux, i dont know what that even means

rejven_: Sorry for the brevity. Open a terminal and type/copy that in, and give me the output if you would please
huhlig-home, still workin on python huh
WeThePeople, sadly
lol
Package is in a very bad inconsistent state - you should
 reinstall it before attempting a removal.
huhlig-home, send me the details
test test
why....
ActionParsnip, it was enough to log out of the session to kill the zombie vlc processes
L3top:  01:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] nee ATI Turks [Radeon HD 6570] [1002:6759]
this is madness, i dont know who is bot and who is real person :C
rejven_: Ok I am real... ubottu is bot. Please tell me what the goal is and what you have done so far, try to summerize on one line.
can we go on priv, if it takes more than 5min i wont bother you
kodak: process 1 will still run, so it won't kill the zombies
kodak: PID 1 is the mother of all processes, it is the very first process started at bootup
ActionParsnip, i, erm, i wouldnt presume to tell you you are wrong, but vlc zombies are gone
kodak: strange, everyday is a school day
kodak: will have to look into that some
kodak: maybe the kernel cleaned up
is pid 1 = init?
kodak: yes
ActionParsnip, ah, then it makes sense, m1rach4n's link said that when child processes lose their parents, init adopts them, but they get reaped when a wait(whatever that is) is sent
strange indeed
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MepX0PcjzfA
huhlig-home, use paste.ubuntu.com pls
which makes me wonder, is there some straightforward way to send that "wait" manually?
pilz_: political advocacy does not belong in this channel. Please don't spam links.
hey guyz, when i download and burn the iso image on dvd it is not bootable (and yes, i know how to burn an iso image :-) ) but the iso contains wubi and autostart refers to it...
i need an image without wubi... just a regular bootable install dvd
shakaponk: what version are you downloading and what medium?
l3top i sent you  pm ;p
L3top: current 12.10 or 12.04
shakaponk: did you checksum the cd?
whats the recommended way to install skype on ubuntu?
jrib: did it last time, it was not correct, but it doesn't help me to get the right iso? does it?
is there an ubuntu packet for it?
shakaponk: which one? I believe 12.10 is like 800 megs and wont burn to a normal cd. And check the md5sum
Does anyone know a functional link?               http://fahhem.com/pidgin/gtalkinvisible.tar.gz
I need this plugin for pedgin!!!
http://www.webupd8.org/2010/02/pidgin-plugin-that-enables-invisible.html
shakaponk: if the checksum on the iso was bad, you need to re-download it; if the the checksum on the iso is good but the burn was bad, you need to re-burn it
L3top: yes, both of them... and isnt it possible to burn it on dvd?
do-release-upgrade won't wipe out my personal files will it?
aniasis: no it won't
aniasis: It should not.  But you should have backups anyway.
jrib: i've downloaded it already 6 times each, over 4 days
shakaponk: this is the point of my question as to medium, but you did not answer, so I was just throwing out possibilities...
shakaponk: if the checksum is wrong, the file is corrupt.  What file are you downloading and what was its checksum?
Hi all I have plugged my ipod into my pc and rhythmbox picks up my ipod plays songs but for some reason I cannot copy music from pc to ipod can someone tell me if it is possible or not?
Hi all! I'm still having issues with network transfers. I can download files from SAMBA fine, but uploading them takes forever. The same happens for SSH transfers too. They all max out at 100Kbps. Downloading via apt and wget max out at 100Kbps, but SABNZBd can download at maximum internet speed (2.2MBps) from usegroups.
Any ideas?
L3top: downloaded both, both are bigger than a cd, so i burned it on a dvd
dean__: when you last unplugged it, did you safely remove it?
MrNorm,  are you using wireless or wired
ActionParsnip, It is the first time I have plugged it in to linux
?
1Gbps wired
jrib: downloaded both 12.10 and 12.04 checksum have to generate first
dean__: any OS at all, did you safely remove it when you were done?
shakaponk: try using a usb thumbdrive. It is faster without medium problems.
ActionParsnip, Yeah I always unmount them before unplugging it
dean__: good, that prevents a tonne of problems :)
L3top: ??? :-)
kodak: init's wait() calls are executed at short intervals.
ty
pradeep: Not sure if you saw my reply. Its 1Gbps wired
ActionParsnip, Yeah but I have just checked my ipod it has allowed me to delte music off it but cannot copy music to it?
L3top: ubottu: i guess i have to try, but why is wubi in the damn iso? i don't want an wubi edition
m1rach4n, thanks, so basically, i have to either check back in a few minutes(if it happens again), or log out of my session if wait() isnt doing it
can anyone figure out why I get the error "RTNETLINK answers: Invalid argument" when trying to run "sudo ip route add 10.42.0.0/16 via 25.94.239.160 dev eth0"?
L3top: i already got one and just trying to increas the disk size, and the guide says i need a livecd
hmm is there a way in the unity window manager to move the app tray to the bottom? or change the default size of its icons? it can barely hold icons on a widescreen laptop monitor

MrNorm, oh
is it possible to use user background on gdm as it is on lightdm?
shakaponk: that's the correct md5 hash
shakaponk: what are you on now
delac: yes.
pradeep: I've got a feeling its my network driver. I worked with ActionParsnip earlier and we covered a lot. What stood out was the high error count for the interface. It's a Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme BCM5722 and I've generally found Broadcom aren't brilliant on Ubuntu
jrib: even worse :-)
L3top: i got a wubi installation on a special partition, and ubuntu complains that there is not enough space
Does anyone have experience with 3d modeling in Ubuntu 12.10?
L3top: and dev/loop i guess is 98% full, i've found out that the virtual disk is full and i have to increase it... followed the guide on ubuntu to increase the disk size
m1rach4n: nice
L3top: there is said that i need a livecd to increase it, the wubi disk duplicate is not an option
shakaponk: Or use windows to create the thumb. Its in the guide.
MrNorm, did you giv all rights and permission properly
L3top: what is it? haven't heard of it
pradeep: I'm not sure what you mean? Sorry
pradeep: My install (12.10) is using tg3 which came with the OS. There's another driver I can download, but I couldn't compile it :(
I LOVE YOU ALL.
Afutilettempt: WE LOVE YOU TOO.
;)
ditto
L3top: in which way would it help me solve my problem?
MrNorm, let me understand you properly you have a network with both windows and linux on it
shakaponk: it would allow you to create a "live cd" on a USB drive, which you would then boot to... just as if it were a CD.
pradeep: Correct, and OSX.
L3top: ok, thx for your input... i'll give it a try
shakaponk: from which point you can do a dual install...
is there a way to get the idle time?  (by idletime I mean the time since ANY user logged into the computer has interacted with it
MrNorm, you want to be able to access file and folders on the network ?
I can at the moment, via SAMBA. The issue is with the speed of transfers. Downloading files is fine, but uploading them is very slow (100Kbps)
pradeep: Sorry ^
i currently have ubuntu 12.04 but want to update 12.10? what wuld woud be most convenient way

xraixed: that's how I do it :)
MrNorm, please i did not get you there
thats another problem i have with update manager it does not let me update
xraixed, it will, you just need to find that button to choose between lts-only or all updates

lost4spinz: cool, then make a pastebin online and give the URL here
hi folks.  I have a problem that's been gnawing at me since around the time of Karmic->Natty and persists all the way up through Precise.  Resume from suspend refuses to turn my laptop screen back on (not even the backlight).  Google searches have been utterly futile.  The laptop is alive and well after resume, just no screen.
er make that Karmic->Lucid to be more exact.
laptop is a Dell Inspiron 9200.
is there a way to allow windows to cover a panel, instead of using autohide?
walren: which panel?
http://www.iheartubuntu.com/2012/11/update-on-netflix.html this rocks
VanessaE, turn off  your system remove your battery after 10seconds put it back then it should boot up then we would know what next to do okay
hi
someone else seeing those errors after updating? "*** glibc detected *** racoon: double free or corruption (fasttop): 0x00007fa421e5a"
sure thing.  gimme a couple minutes (I'm rebooting from the live CD to check if suspend/resume works there)
m1rach4n: not sure how to answer that.. I'm using lubuntu and I just right clicked the default panel that comes with it, and created another panel.
Hi, I want my Home Folder to show files and folder by List per default. I mean, don't need to CTRL+2 anymore. Someone could help? Thx :)
Some how i am using alsa mixer instead of pulseaudio, can someone explain how to fix this?
ok, doesn't work from the CD either.
battery out.
battery in.
booting.
m1rach4n: actually, it's LXPanel 0.5.11
OMG
ok
hi vanesa
hey tank, fancy seeing you here :-)
pradeep: ok, the battery has been removed and re-inserted and the laptop is booted into its normal state (a fresh install of Precise yesterday)
anyone using the Retina Macbook Pro?
VanessaE, i guess it is back to normal right
pradeep: yes - it always boots fine though.  Resume from Suspend-to-RAM is where the problem lies.
skyjumper,  jut ask your question
pradeep: just want to know how well it works

hi I connect my macbook to my wireless network, I get ip, but cannot connect to internet... nor to lan... I cannot ping even the router.  But it works ok with my android phone.  How to troubleshoot?  Also, I use broadcom STA and wicd on ubuntu 12.04.  here is some info: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1365835/
ActionParsnip: info is at http://paste.ubuntu.com/1365835/

ActionParsnip: yes
lost4spinz: so if you run:   echo "nameserver 8.8.8.8" | sudo tee /etc/resolv.conf > /dev/null; sudo apt-get update     do you get any errors?
Hello
ActionParsnip: let me try
ActionParsnip: no error
lost4spinz: did the update command run ok? lots of 'hits'
ActionParsnip: oh sorry, I only did the nameserver
lost4spinz: run:   sudo apt-get update    is it ok?
ActionParsnip: trying now
Some how i am using alsa mixer instead of pulseaudio, can someone explain how to fix this?
ActionParsnip: it says connecting one line and cursor just blinks
ActionParsnip: now it says Ign and Err and "something wiciked happened resolving"

Hello I've got a PS1 code for some fun in terminal. the problem is that the code is way too long. can I put the code into a bash script or something like that? the code is something like PS1='...'
lost4spinz: try using a wired connection and get fully updated. May help
ActionParsnip: ok, I will try
ActionParsnip: thank you
lost4spinz: may help, seems the routing is a bit messed up
lost4spinz: the updates may just sort that out
pradeep: found it on a harshli..er...Arch Linux forum post.  I will edit the Ubuntu Wiki page, DebuggingKernelSuspendHibernateResume , to mention what I did in relation to it as a potential workaround.

ActionParsnip: i figure something out very weird
lost4spinz: sup
ActionParsnip: i plugged in power to laptop so it did not lose battery.  Then I can connect!
ActionParsnip: how can this be???
Hi. Just one quick question. How much is your RAM usage right now?
ActionParsnip: and when I unplug power then I can't connect (no ping or google or anything) anymore
lost4spinz: maybe its a weird ACPI config, Macs are far from standard
lost4spinz: sounds like a bug, or dumb mac hardware (probably the latter)
ActionParsnip: ok well I will update to 12.10 from 12.04.  You think it is good idea?
lost4spinz: I'd check for bugs reported. 12.10 has a shorter support than 12.04
ActionParsnip: ok thanks
lost4spinz: check for bugs, there may be a fix
lost4spinz: also check the ubuntu mac guides
What is a normal ram usage in ubuntu 12.10?
does anybody know where I can find more information about why cheese crashes when I try to record a webcam video? any log file?
wonx: in Unity last time I checked in 12.04, about 800MB
Okay, another question. How come my router doesn't accept my key, that does work one my other ubuntus?
wonx: desktop would go to about 700MB for itself alone
hello all!
i am having a few problems after upgrading from 12.04 to 12.10, could anyone help me please?
is it the right channel for some help on ubuntu bugs?
krababbe1: ubuntu itself, with firefox (plus skype, dropbox and empathy on the background), consumes 1500MB
I think it's far too much. When I open a few more programs (thunderbird, libreoffice, rhythmbox), I almost reaches my 3GB limit
wonx: a lighter install is about 40MB with one terminal window open. Yes, apps will use RAM too :)
do i need to format usb to use usb-creator-gtk?
But i remember that previous versions of ubuntu were muuuch lighter
wonx: depends on the applications you run
I rarely reached the 1GB limit
wonx: well RAM became very cheap, and many apps use it
firefox uses about 350MB (tree tabs opened), compiz itself around 200MB, rhythmbox 200MB more, zeitgeist-fts (what's that?) 150MB, etc...
wonx: features = more ram used.  If you want less ram used, you use simpler software
lost4spinz: for example I run ubuntu with about 30mb ram
wonx: compiz, or unity, not sure, went often about 700MB for me
Plus... is it really necessary that each empathy conversation window takes 50MB or ram?
wonx: but my windows don't wobble, it's the price i pay
ok, in case it is, I would like some suggestions on why Ubuntu, which so far (for more than 5 years) worked a treat and now, after automatically (i dont understand how) upgrading to 12.04, its very buggy indeed
MrPiracy: ask and see
balam: ubuntu does not automatically upgrade, you have to tell it to
wonx: debateable :)
But I have the impression that since unity became the default desktop, ram usage has skyrocketed
do i need to format usb to use usb-creator-gtk?
ActionParsnip, kinda hard to put it in simple words, but i will try ....
I remember using ubuntu in my pentium III and it went pretty smooth
(right now i'm using debian in that pentium III, and works fine)
wonx: I'm using 400Mb RAM here...not much really, nearly the same as in Lucid, maybe not as light as Gutsy but still not  bad at ll
I must have done something wrong then. I was surprised to see it reboot as "precise pangolin" when I didnt ask for anything
wonx: the system partition is a sniff under 3Gb.......
Right now, I'm browsing the web (3 tabs) and listening to music, and i'm using 2GB
wonx: using a full Unity Shell + Compiz + Gnome
wonx: probably due to firefox
after upgrading from 12.04 to 12.10 I noticed that the first boot went to 12.04 instead of the new one, after that a simple reboot would go to 12.10 without me doing anything different. Then again, after a new reboot it goes back to 12.04 and back to 12.10 and so on
yes, firefox is the application that consumes the most ram
lost4spinz, I'm stuck with this version now, it seems very difficult to downgrade
wonx: Gmail + facebook + twitter in Chrome and I go up to 620Mb used.....
anybody knows what zeitgeist-fs is?
I tried to delete older kernels with Ubuntu Tweak, but it doesnt seem to have deleted the previous version properly
keeps bugging, no support provided.
wonx: if you are not running out of ram, you shouldn't care.  We have ram to use it!
wonx, zeitgeist keeps track of recently used applications and files
But I used Gmail+facebook+twitter in my old computer without problems.. (512MB ram)
Aha
balam: oh, well you should say what the problems with it you have are.  12.04 is probably the most solid ubuntu version i think
wonx: depends what is in the tabs. Thing is though, newer Ubuntus aren't more resource intensive
And anyone else noticed that opening an empathy conversation is terribly slow, compared to previous versions? i think it's due to the chat history
ActionParsnip: this is what i'm trying to see, if it's ubuntu in general, or just my installation
MrPiracy: can you give the output of:  uname -a; dpkg -l | grep linux-image     please use a pastebin to host
wonx: probably just junky  firefox
wonx: I bet you have a tonne of addons
sure!
wonx: that all takes resources
but even if i close firefox, i can no longer go under the 1GB limit
firefox is using 350mb of ram right now, it's fine
wonx: what other apps are you running?
ActionParsnip, http://pastebin.com/2pY71Xni
rhythmbox, empathy, skype and dropbox
wonx: how much ram frees after you close skype (if its convenient)
wonx: is your OS 64bit>
wonx, the thing about RAM is that you paid for it when you bought it, you are paying for it now to run electricity to it, so why not use it. as long as you aren't overflowing into swap why do you care how much ram you use?
skype is 88MB
MrPiracy: looks fine, you only have 1 kernel installed
yes, i'm using 64bit
I think what's causing me to go back to 12.04 is that I have an error while shutting down from 12.10 ... it says "killing all remaining processes fail" or something like that
wonx: skype is 32bit, so you had to load a tonne of 32bit libs into RAM
well, i find sometimes the system is using the whole ram and yes, it uses swap
aha, ok, that explains skype
wonx: try closing apps and noting the ram use difference
Then the next boot will take me to 12.04 with poor graphics (which were working fine before upgrade) and this time will will shutdown with no errors
MrPiracy: do you use proprietary video drivers?
although ive been using ubuntu for some years now, im still rather a newbie  im not quite sure how to make the error message appear
hello where does ubuntu store its config file when a user make a samba share via the nautilus interface, there is no trace in /etc
G92 NVIDIA, GeForce 9800 GT
I think i'm just trowing a little tantrum here, because my computer is starting to age (4 years and a half)
but i don't want to admit it....
xrlgf:  i think  /var/lib/samba/usershares
wonx: make sure you're not counting cached memory as used
ok, is there any simple way to REPAIR ubuntu?
Ben64: no no, I already checked that
balam:  depends on whats broken
balam: whats the problem
balam, depends on what broke.
dr_willis, this is correct path
bleh, ninja'd by dr_willis
MrPiracy: I suggest you uninstall the proprietary video driver, reboot then reinstall it. It is rare for proprietary video drivers to survive distribution changes
balam: is there a simple way to 'repair Windows'
not sure, since upgrade to precise pangolin, no more wavy windows, ugly debian splashscreen, and error messages every minute or so
balam: can you see how the question has no meaning?
actually it does
I just got Ubuntu back after repairing grub. Does anyone know if I can remove the bios_grub partition I had to make?
running 12.04
sevenforall, you need that to boot bios grup with gpt partition tables
ActionParsnip, it says i am using NVIDIA binary Xorg driver, kernel module and VDPAU library from nvidia-current (proprietary, tested)
balam: an OS is an incredibly complex piece of softare, so stating you want to repair it simply states something is broken but it could be one of hundreds of subsystems
All right then
MrPiracy: remove the driver, reboot, reinstall driver
ActionParsnip, would you please tell me how I could reinstall it?
not quite sure how to display error log
MrPiracy: sudo apt-get install nvidia-current
ActionParsnip, ok, will try that, ty
balam: what release did you upgrade from?
I've been following the flow, accepting updtes as sson as they were out
balam: do you use a proprietary video driver?
yes, used to work fine
balam: well, 12.10 is out now, so you haven't been keeping up.......
balam: try removing the driver, reboot then reinstall it
i try to share a folder between two ubuntu 12.10 fresh install, but it is not working, is there something to change in smb.conf to allow this ?
not sure how, as i look for updates everyday and install every single suggested one
last one was 10 minutes ago
balam: if you use an ATI GPU 2xxx, 3xxx or 4xxx and use 12.10, then it causes issues
how do i tell apt to stop caring about a package i  installed with unsatisfied dependencies? i did that on purpose, how can i get my computer to kindly stfu and let me use apt again?
xrlgf:  you are shareing them as guest shares?  You did make  users a  samba password via 'sudo smbpasswd -a username' on the machines?
Mr Parsnip, how do I create an error log to disply here?
xrlgf:  you could also use scp/sshfs or nfs to set up 'shares'
dr_willis, i set guest account enabled
balam: your OS is now looking for the next LTS so you won't get offered the Quantal upgrade
balam: I'd try the video driver remove, reboot, reinstall first :)
xrlgf:  another common issue is using the smb://servername/ when one needs to use smb://ip.of.the.server/ instead
dr_willis, i can see both machines in the network explorer, and i can see the shares, but not allowed to mount
jo sup?
dr_willis, usershare_acl=S-1-1-0:F and guest_ok=y are in the config file made by nautilus
guys, I'm confused. I'm now sure the incriminated upgrade was 12.10; but then now when ubuntu closes, I see 12.04 displayed. When the error messages appear, there is no more resolving cause it says 12.04 no mre in dev
Mr Parsnip: I tried the video driver reinstalled already
hi ubuntees
One more question. is it possible to remove the web apps (facebook, reddit, etc) from the messaging menu?
suppressed the proprietary, restarted, reinstall the proprietary, still issues
balam: if you read /var/log/Xorg.0.log      you can see why the video driver isn't loading etc
dr_willis, but yeah it is working settings the ip ...
thanx
strange
xrlgf:  commonplace issue
I forget some package thats supposed to fix that.. i always just use the ip#
ok, i'm missing a package ?
or set your /etc/hosts with a proper entry for the name to ip#
i use dyn ip

Wilky, there is a program "xev" that will allow you to see what the keycode is. can you run xev and try the numkeys with numlock on and off
this happened when I upgraded from 10.04 to 12.04
(offtopic) is anyone here using dasKeyboard with blue switches?
Wilky, so open a terminal. type xev, move the window so it doesn't obscure the terminal, and then try the different keys. check the terminal for output
how can I run it (
Wilky: Crtl-Alt-T for terminal and type 'xev'
Monsieur Parsnip, which line is useful in this file please?
mmm
Can't understand the fast scroll codes running on Terminal!
I've got both Python 2.7 and 3.2 installed, how do I use 3.2 instead of 2.7?
what happens if you have two partitions with bootloaders installed?
Wilky, the lines look like KeyPress event or KeyRelease event, and then two lines down it says what key it was state 0x0, keycode 88 (keysym 0xff99, KP_Down), same_screen YES,
Wilky, you could also close xev, and run "xev | grep keysym" to eliminate some of the chatter
Got a window "Event Tester" but don't get the drift
Wilky, so click in that window and hit the keys. you should see output in the terminal where you typed "xev | grep keysym"
if he used the run dialog.. there is no terminal for the messages to show up in
;)
dr_willis, we told him to open it in a terminal
but did he? ;)
does not display anything
escott, may I ask you for a bit of assistance please?
he also has to click in the xev window for the messages to show up in the terminal
Wilky, did you click inside the white box? xev has to have focus
;)mouseing OVER the xev window will show some info. but to test the keyboard you do have to click IN the xev window to focus it
balam, ask the channel
Ive been asking for a while now
On which distro, ubuntu or opensuse laptop's battery wil last longer? Or it's hard to say?
balam, then people don't know the answer or missed the question, but don't single people out its not helpful
state 0x0, keycode 104 (keysym 0xff8d, KP_Enter), same_screen YES,
ok, the question is: any simple way to repair Ubuntu?
answer would be  "No" it depends on the issue.
Wilky, so thats the ENTER key on the keypad. try it with a number key, then toggle the numlock and try it again
its been working fine for years, and since it upgraded to 12.10, ive got error messages all the time, no more wavy wondows (gnome stopped working?), an ugly debian splash screen
can you encrypt your hdd after installation?
seems to be hard to simply downgrade too
balam:  the wavy windows eyesore is part of compiz.
arnsa: No one has tested that AFAIK.
SolarisBoy, you cannot encrypt / after install with any tool shipped by ubuntu.
ok thanks escott_
balam:  you dont downgrade.. and if you have been upgraeing for 'years'  that points to common upgrade issues.. the simple fix would be a clean reinstall.
compiz, yes, sorry
if compiz is not working - that would point to drivers for your video card issues.
cant do that, its my work machine,
balam: you've been very vague in your questions, and haven't given any details for the past 30+ mins
i've tried reinstalling drivers, didnt work
Sure you can.. but its a balance of time and effort.
My 'work' is all in my 'home' dir - so i can easially reinstall and get back to work if needed.
ben64, I've got multiploe issues, linked or not, and I've been asking what to display from the xorg file
balam: all you've said is "i get error messages, no wavy windows, and how to fix ubuntu"
balam, all those issues sound like problems with the graphics card drivers
ohh, the old "error messages" problem.  let me point you to a fix for that...
Sorry, Ubuntu 12.04 has experienced an internal error......  You mean?
http://howtoubuntu.org/how-to-disable-apport-error-reporting-in-ubuntu/
yes, and although I did try to reinstall the said drivres, issue still here. The other issur is although the problems appeared after quantal quetzal upgrade, I now see 12.04 displayed when I close ubuntu
Wilky, still there?
not workin  properly
see 12.04 where exactly?
Wilky, xev isn't going to fix anything. its just to diagnose the problem
Dr willis, if you tell me how to display my ubuntu version I will gladly do so
balam: lsb_release -r
i see it when it closes pipes and all, when it closes
Wilky, you need to tell us what you are seeing
thanks Ben64, it confirms what I thought: 12.04
Wilky: Reinstall if there's nothing important on the disk.
now, WTF is the question, as the issues started after upgrade to 12.10
dr_willis: why not just 'sudo apt-get remove apport' ?
balam: pastebin the contents of /etc/apt/sources.list
also when I log out I get a virtual keyboard without Number Keypad and Click on 123 to turn into numbers it doesn't accept
when the Num Loch is Off the Arrows work perfectly
ben64: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1366027/   thanks
Wilky, what do you see output from xev when you hit the number keys
I don't have a CD I've just upgraded
 state 0x10, keycode 118 (keysym 0xff63, Insert), same_screen YES,
    state 0x10, keycode 118 (keysym 0xff63, Insert), same_screen YES,
    state 0x10, keycode 110 (keysym 0xff50, Home), same_screen YES,
    state 0x10, keycode 110 (keysym 0xff50, Home), same_screen YES,
    state 0x10, keycode 112 (keysym 0xff55, Prior), same_screen YES,
    state 0x10, keycode 112 (keysym 0xff55, Prior), same_screen YES,
just installed 12.10, upgraded nvidia drivers and how my window manager seems hosed (no task bar or window borders around apps) how can i revert back?
ben64, could it be because in the grub, I started to select the previous linux version when the issues appeared?
balam - dunno what to tell you, you arent upgraded to 12.10
Wilky, you need to give us context. all I see is that your Home key works. but without knowing the state of the numlock light that tells me nothing. you need to hit the 7 key, hit the numlock key, and then hit 7 again and see if it changes
it does say 12.04, yes, BUT: it definitely upgraded to 12.10 quantal quetzal smthing like 2 weeks ago, thats when the issues started. When I saw that no further update were fixing the bug, I decided to look if downgrading was possible, understood by reading on the formums that it was very hard/ impossible, and therefore decided to select "previous linux versions' in the grub
balam, that just boots an older kernel. it should still say 12.10 in the OS
balam, is it possible you had a failed upgrade and never got to 12.10
I know, hence the WTF question
escott: ah, ok. but then why did the bug stay?
I am trying to figure out if Tor is running or not ... so I did 'ss -aln | grep 9050' and the output is: LISTEN     0      128               127.0.0.1:9050                     *:*
the possible ATI driver one, meant to be specific to 12.10 if I read correctly what some answered here?3.
does this mean that Tor is running?
escott, is there a bug log that I could paste to show you what Im talking about?
state 0x10, keycode 104 (keysym 0xff8d, KP_Enter), same_screen YES,
    state 0x10, keycode 77 (keysym 0xff7f, Num_Lock), same_screen YES,
    state 0x10, keycode 77 (keysym 0xff7f, Num_Lock), same_screen YES,
    state 0x0, keycode 77 (keysym 0xff7f, Num_Lock), same_screen YES,
    state 0x10, keycode 77 (keysym 0xff7f, Num_Lock), same_screen YES,
Wilky, you are going to get kicked from the channel if you keep that up
Sorry, I don't know the rules
<balam> escott, is there a bug log that I could paste to show you what Im talking about?
balam, i dont know what you are talking about so its hard for me to tell you what log to look at
balam, you might want to read http://workaround.org/getting-help-on-irc
Hi. Ubuntu keeps greeting me after everz restart about a "crash" it wants to "report". However I think its the same crash every time somewhere down in the logs. how can I make it not bother me about the same crash again and again?
If I want the message to reappear, to be able to display the details, Ive got to restart the machine
I had such a thing earlier with an Xserver segfault where I solved it by deleting the old Xorg.log
CorvusCorax, have you tried reporting it?
CorvusCorax, alternately just delete all the logs in /var/log
escott, yes and no, i did not actually send the report because the crash reason was me playing around with things (hibernate)
i did click on details and then on continue
http://howtoubuntu.org/how-to-disable-apport-error-reporting-in-ubuntu/
hey, how can i disable ssh access for an ip address after a number of failed attempts?
is this possible?
alegen:  fail2ban tool can do it automatically
dr_willis, thanks, hat might actually be the sane thing to do :-)
CorvusCorax:  or clean out the log files. i imagine most are very old
dr_willis and CorvusCorax - thanks i`ll look them up now :)
i installed the system today, shouldnt be older than 24 hours :)
The crash files are gathered in /var/crash.
who is the *** trying to send me a screenshot through IRC. please stop
or so the googling says
I am trying to figure out if Tor is running or not ... so I did 'ss -aln | grep 9050' and the output is: LISTEN     0      128               127.0.0.1:9050                     *:*
does this mean that Tor is running?
And another question. I want to enable "hibernate" however my freshly installed ubuntu uses a "cryptswap" where swap is mounted via device mapper. is there any docu how to get that to work?

What are frame errors in my ifconfig?
How do I close a 'screen' completely?
dr_willis: thx :)
you mean thje screen terminal multiplexer cuddylier ?
I think so, yes
'exit'
Cueball: ctrl-a \
Whatever the 'screen' command is called
Okay, thanks dr_willis
screen command is called screen ;)
cuddylier: that was meant for you
Oh, okay
thanks
cuddylier: ctrl+a \ clooses all windows in a screen; ctrl-a k kills the current window
Yeah, I want to stop it completely
So ctrl -a k then?
Actually
I wanna minimise it
Oh wait no
Kill it
cuddylier "sudo service <your display manager> stop"
Hullo.
cuddylier: ctrl-a d detatches a screen session. cuddylier ctrl-a k only kills the current screen window. if you only have one window in screen then screen will exit. if you have multiple windows in a screen session, ctrl-a \ will kill all windows and exit. type 'man screen' for a full listing of keyboard shortcuts

Hello everyone
Yeah, sorry
who can help me on installing Nvidia drivers :)
Ubuntu 12.10
what are the dangers of upgrading to new linux kernel as described here :: http://www.distrogeeks.com/upgrade-linux-kernel-ubuntu/
Hi! I'm getting loads of frame errors on my network card. Any idea where I can start with this?
and the potential benefits of upgrading to new linux kernel?  http://www.distrogeeks.com/upgrade-linux-kernel-ubuntu/
MrNorm: Try another cable.
How can i correct install Nvidia drivers on ubuntu 12.10
Hi gustav__ . I've tried two already with no change :(
MrNorm: Get another card.
That simple? XD
MrNorm: Yup.
nobody can help me ?
does anyone know why cdc_acm would fail to pick up an arduino on ubuntu?
g3ntek: Want bumblebee?
here's a complete problem description: http://askubuntu.com/questions/209605/cdc-acm-not-firing
gustav__: OK, thanks for the input
g3ntek: Does your computer have Optimus?
MrNorm: frame errors tell you that either a cable/plug/.. is defect or a NIC
gustav__, mm what is bumblebee and how can i know that have i optimus or not ?
hi
anyone?
g3ntek: A system for making Optimus work. I don't know.
gustav__,  my graphic card is Nvidia GT 640 with Cuda :)
so how can i install driver correct
g3ntek: You can google the thing about nvidia drivers. There's a page on the Ubuntu wiki I think.
i have installed many times  and after installing my resolution limited 640 x 480  :)
gustav__,  i have installed many times  and after installing my resolution limited 640 x 480  :)
Bummer.
mikubuntu: Better performance and/or hardware support.  The main setback is the loss of support from official channels (unless you keep it secret).
Why loss of support? xD
So here is the pack of people using Ubuntu, am I right?
The onnly supported kernels are the versions in the official repos
Hi cdashiel
Fauchelevent: Are you carrying a bomb?
Why would I be carrying one?
gustav__: The kernel PPA is for testing, not production
Fauchelevent: haters gonna hate, that's why
I'm just here because I'm a bit tired and disappointed
Haters gonna hate ... you are genetically determined, is that what you mean?
Why are you dissapointed?
Galvatron: Ubuntu is not production quality.
That 's a long story, Quante.  Maybe because time flies.
Ah, so here we must talk about Ubuntu, that's a lot to say
Fauchelevent: not "about ubuntu"  - the topic is "ubuntu support"
That's pretty much the same thing.
Quante: no, it is not, stop arguing please
Ok, so I'm gonna leave, because Ubutu is ok to me, no problem :-)

i have an old a P4 2 GHz CPU, 133MHz fsb. i would like to overclock the FSB. doing so from Windows isnt really an option, doing it in BIOS isnt an option at all. is this possible under Ubuntu?
nv: No.
well why the heck not? :P
No reason.
all the forums show an all out rejection to the idea and i dont understand why
nv: Can't change that from software.
you can in windows
nv: Why would it be possible?
overclocking won't gain you much anyway
i would just do it in windows then revert to buntu but the comp doesnt boot from CD i guess i'm just gonna have to boot from Win7 starter, install, over clock, then go back to linux
nv: won't work unless you can o/c in bios
well i over clocked the radeon in it and that made a HUGE improvement. now the main bottleneck is the FSB
gustav__: Just tried a PCI-e NIC and no more frame errors! Must have been the built in NIC. Thanks for your help
there is a windows app i use that makes the config changes "stick"
it won't 'stick' unless the changes are in bios if you switch OS
hi, I'm logged into my school account through ssh in my linux terminal and I'd like to copy a file to my local machine so that I can work on the assignment without having to worry about losing a connection. Is there anyway to copy from the remote machine to my local machine?
eindoofus, scp
okay well it seems to. i mean thats how i always do it except in this 1 case, the comp only has 740 MB RAM, and im not sure how Win7 will react
thanks escott
ubuntu sucks
nv, then you really need to start thinking about upgrading your RAM instead of O/C your CPU
i like how the answer to everything these days is to throw money at the problem....
nv, :/
nv: You could try to start that program in wine under Ubuntu. Not sure it will work.
yeah that will work actually thanks
is there any way to know how many people have upgraded to newest linux kernel, as described here :: http://www.distrogeeks.com/upgrade-linux-kernel-ubuntu/
How can I install weechat from here: http://www.weechat.org/files/ubuntu/lucid/0.3.9.1/i386/ ?
wont install with Ubuntu Software Center?
I'm working on server
I don't know how to install from custom locations
right click -> open with other application
server
sheerun, download all the deb files in a folder, go into that folder and then give:  dpkg -i *.deb
yeah
kostkon: Is there queicker way thank downloading all the packages?
sheerun, nope
:(
And how to download them quickly?
Does anyone have a working preseed for a distro served by old-releases.ubuntu.com?
Rather than copying urls one by one
sheerun, hmm try with wget -r url
I want to install a "portable" Ubuntu OS on a USB HDD; can I do it without booting some Live media?
add it as a repo and use && to queue maybe? or wget?
I am trying to preseed ubuntu 7.10, but debconf seems to ignore "choose-mirror-bin mirror/http/hostname string old-releases.ubuntu.com"
I have an Ubuntu laptop already
sheerun, try giving:  wget -r http://www.weechat.org/files/ubuntu/lucid/0.3.9.1/i386/
:q
kostkon: OK. thank you1
sheerun, np
dr_willis, when you say: another common issue is using the smb://servername/ when one needs to use smb://ip.of.the.server/ instead, can you point me to something ? i can't find information on this problem
What is the standard remote desktop server package name?
litropy, im not sure there is an RDP server. most people would use vnc
oh shit wget -r will download the whole site
kostkon: What have you done?!
:P
lol @ kostkon
dr_willis, ok found it !
not a missing package, i have to put bcast first to resolve names
I did a $sudo gconftool-2 -s -t bool /desktop/gnome/remote_access/enabled true # and I'm still getting connection refused. Isn't RDP built into 12.04?
litropy, why sudo?
ircnode0:
sry
escott, honestly, because a web site told me to :(
Hello, Ubuntu world, I'm having problems with a program and was wondering if anyone could pitch in.
litropy, almost certainly wrong in that case
FYI I've downloaded all deb files by: wget -q -e robots=off --no-parent -r -nH --cut-dirs=5 --accept='*.deb' http://www.weechat.org/files/ubuntu/lucid/0.3.9.1/i386/
Thank you for help, cheers
litropy, i would undo that. its a big security risk
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-control-center/+bug/1078105 ?
escott, wanna throw me a command?
litropy, same command as before but with false
Any one understand this problem?
escott, ah okay - I thought I gave root to gconftool permanently or something
gustav__: Have you tried resetting Unity/Compiz?
Kevin_: Nope.
gustav__: try "dconf reset -f /org/compiz/ && setsid unity" without quotes in the terminal
Do I have to have a monitor hooked up for Vino to run? When I $/usr/lib/vino/vino-server # I get, "Cannot open display:"
Kevin_: No, that doesn't work. I'm not using Unity or Compiz btw.
gustav__: out of curiosity, what does: synclient -l | grep HorizTwoFingerScroll; output?
0. O_O
gustav__: try: synclient HorizTwoFingerScroll=1
trism: Works! :D
Thx.
* litropy grudgingly hauls a monitor and input devices over to the server to see what's going on.
hi once more. is there a way to change the power button functionality from asking the user to doing something else?
i am sure this has been discussed a lot, but not by me. soooo... i have a laptop with both windows 7 and ubuntu 10.04. can i just upgrade to the latest ubuntu without damaging my windows 7 installation or do i need to install ubuntu 12 and then windows 7 again?
Can I close a bug I opened on Launchpad?
hey, I think I found a bug
I have a reasonably fresh Ubuntu installation, when i click the power symbol and select "suspend" the system suspends, but when i click the power button, then select "suspend" from that dialog, the dialog goes away and nothing happens!
is that normal ? ;)
gustav__: you can mark it as invalid, though depending on which desktop you use it may not be (it should work correctly if you use gnome or unity)
(as in can anyone reproduce that?)
trism: Not sure what to do really. The bug is still there. gnome-control-panel shows it as enabled when it isn't. So not fully resolved but functionally.
gustav__: which desktop do you use?
trism: WindowMaker.
list
trism: + It could be reverted on reboot. I guess it would be.
gustav__: yeah, gnome-control-center probably can't update that option if gnome-settings-daemon isn't running
gustav__: so I would say probably invalid bug
hibernate doesn't work either
how do I add swap to a Ubuntu Server???
12.04
M13, create a partition or blank file and mkswap it
M13, permanently or temporarily?
i am sure this has been discussed a lot, but not by me. soooo... i have a laptop with both windows 7 and ubuntu 10.04. can i just upgrade to the latest ubuntu without damaging my windows 7 installation or do i need to install ubuntu 12 and then windows 7 again?
How
you can add any file or partition with a swap filesysytem on it with "swapon <file/partition>"
Im on a VPS
CorvusCorax, report it via launchpad.net ;)
how do I make a swapfile?
M13: mkswap
wdsnead  you can upgrade ubuntu, ok, or better: fresh install after backup
man mkswap
M13, you can use dd to create a blank file of a desired size, and then mkswap that file if you have no partitions
trism: You have a point.
MonkeyDust    Thanks!!!!
is it : dd if=/dev/zero of=/swapfile bs=1024 count=200288   ?
list
and then what???
M13, sure
M13, mkswap /swapfile
fiocco  wrtong channel
M13, swapon /swapfile
parazit: before I report the bug I wanna do some more research
which program gets invoked when the power button is pressed, and how?
via acpid?
is there a logfile or config where thats controlled?
hey guys, i have an hybrid amd notebook, with hd 4200 as onboard gpu and hd 6310 as discrete gpu.. i still can't find how to enable the proprietary driver correctely
CorvusCorax, just trying to help :) and yes ... good to do that , i do it too :))

omg! I unpacked eclipse juno to /usr/bin bc that seemed like a good place for it. Now I read online to install it differently/ to a different location. I use gnome 3 and if I do a search for the application notihing comes up. How do I clean this mess up so I can start over and install it properly?
if you cant apt-get purge, then delete the dir as root
I'll look to see if it's contained all in one dir
thx
parazit: I just checked, acpid indeed listens on the power button, but does nothing if it detects that "gnome-settings-daemon" is running
CorvusCorax: just a guess, but I bet it has something to do with the Gnome "Power off your computer?" popup
roothorick, likely, since that popup would then somehow have to trigger the shutdown / restart / suspend
and it works for shutdown or restart but does nothing for suspend and hibernate
I'm using Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, and trying to encode h.264 video with kdenlive 0.9.2. kdenlive cannot encode h.264 video because xlib264 is unsupported. How can I get kdenlive to encode h.264 video?
but which program does this popup?
no idea
anyone can recommend a program for me to help create a flash photo gallery? We're talking a gallery of well over 23,000 photo's. I tried jalbum but it keeps crashing (don't think it can handle so many photo
hi guys how would I round this number on the same line? right now I have this memtotal=$(echo "`cat /proc/meminfo | grep MemTotal | awk {'print $2'}`*0.0009765625" | bc)
 which grabs the total memory available and converts it to mb I could convert it from a float to an integer by using ${memtotal/.*} but I don't really know how I'd add that to my existing declaring line
kinda new to bash scripting but not coding in general
in the xfce desktop manager, i right click on my username in the upper right corner and select properties -> uncheck show options dialogue
maslo, try "scale=0" when passing to bc
maslo  better visit #bash
like this ? memtotal=$(echo "scale=0;`cat /proc/meminfo | grep MemTotal | awk {'print $2'}`*0.0009765625" | bc)
 doesn'T seem to work
oh I wasn't aware there was a channel dedicated to bash scripting
ty monkeydust/escott I'll head there
How do I intall word. I am using a linux that is like Ubuntu.
I am very new to this stuff
what's "word"?
as in microsoft word?
ms word, I'm guessing
TyronLeroy, what OS exactly?
Or something like it.
TyronLeroy: libreoffice already comes installed in ubuntu
kostkon its this OS http://linuxforniggers.us/about
TyronLeroy: most people use libreoffice writer OR abiword
and no I am not joking
I am using this
I happen to be black
TyronLeroy, this is an ubuntu only support channel
but it is ubuntu
TyronLeroy: try looking for "Writer"
I'd imagine they'd have either OOo or LO installed and both have "Writer" which serves the same purpose as Word
wow
TyronLeroy, technically, yes, maybe, in general terms. But it isn't called ubuntu, so it is not.
http://linuxforniggers.us/download
as you can see it has the Ubuntu logo
I cant say I like the name though.
TyronLeroy: please just stop
TyronLeroy: go away
TyronLeroy, it has a water mellon for a logo...
but it is still Ubuntu.
So is it better to use fstab or symbolic link shares to home folders? I want my pictures, music and video folders to all be server shares
TyronLeroy: this is only the ubuntu support. go and try your luck somewhere else
cononical should be made aware of this
TyronLeroy: Have you tried turning it off and on again?
How do I intall a word like program. There are a bunch of african american students at our high school that are tired of "white geeks" holding us down. So they made this version of Ubuntu. I think they called it that to draw a line in the sand.
is there a way to copy/paste magnet links into Transmission?  or does the magnet have to be passed directly from a web browser?
right click, copy link location?
good
hello. i got a problem with apt-get on my ubuntu system . i tried to install some apps , including the flash player.
unfortunately the app froze at this point: Setting up update-notifier-common (0.126) ...
flashplugin-installer: downloading http://archive.canonical.com/pool/partner/a/adobe-flashplugin/adobe-flashplugin_11.2.202.251.orig.tar.gz
fluitfries: i have no problems with magnet files in firefox, i've seen chrome/chromium has some troubles with them
nv, but how exactly do i paste into Transmission, it doesn't seem to work
ctr+x does not stop the apt-get install at all. it seems to download (or try t download) forever the flash plugin .
so how can i cancel the download of the flash player
what happens when you try pasting into the "Open URL.." box?
this dude on ask ubuntu had a permissions problem. The answer given directed him to unpack it to ~/bin which seems odd. I don't really want to create a bin directory in my home directory - that's just ugly. Was that instruction a mistake? Is there some alternative that won't lead to problems using it down the road?
I'm sorry - talking about installing eclipse 4.2 Juno
maybe try unpacking into /opt/
ClientAlive, +1 for /opt
nv: that's what the guy w/ the question says he did - well, he gave a link to an article he says he followed and that article tells you to unpack in /opt. The dude on ask ubuntu said he had to login as root every time he wanted to make config changes to eclipse.
ok on /opt then
do I have to change owner/group or any perms?
ClientAlive, copy it for example in /opt/eclipsex.x where x.x is the version and then make your own desktop file that starts the ecliplse executable
chmod 777 /opt/%dir
k
we'll giver er' a try  :p
ClientAlive: It makes eclipse plugins much easier to install if you unpack eclipse to your user directory. if you plan on sharing eclipse between multiple users opt might be a better choice.
dont just toss around chmod 777's ;)
overclucker, good advice yeah
777 = Jackpot! (for every one and any one)
I alwyas have a bin dirctory in my home.. had one there for years. ;)
overclucker, although, I think eclipse always installs new plugins in the user's home
I have a .usr directory in my home
sounds like ~/bin is pretty common then. hmm...
ClientAlive, not really
back years ago.. yes it was common.
these days not so much
i keep all my scripts and other executables in there, and links to stuff that may be in /opt/whatever/
you know, I've read a couple articles a long time ago about what the varios directories under / are supposed to be used for. I see that adobe (aka: adobe reader) is in /opt. What is /opt really for?
ClientAlive: http://www.pathname.com/fhs/
Hello, I'm currently installing ubuntu 12.04 LTS on my new computer. I notice that the performance of my SSD (crucial v4) is extremely slow. Even the installation took more that 45 minutes. I replaced the SSD by a HD SATA 1TB and the installation was done in 10minutes. Anyone an idea?
'optional' stuff that was not installed by the package manager system  is how i tend to explain it.
DaBas:  i noticed when i added a ssd that my MB had 6 SATA ports.. and i just happened to notice some of them were of a faster speed then the others. ;)
i was sure to plug my SSD into the faster ports.
dr_willis: ok I will have a look than
dr_willis: now you have a good performance for you ssd?
got a 128gb ssd here - i boot up in like 15 sec.
sounds like its pausing between datagrams
i barely have time to sit down and its at the login screen
;)
im also useing this fstab entry for my /
try changing cables, if that doesnt work, run testdisk and maybe check out the smart logs
your are using ext2 on that SSD?
   UUID=XXX / ext4 discard,noatime,nodiratime,errors=remount-ro  0  1
the ownership of the untarred directory (and maybe it's contents too) seems very odd: "drwxrwsr-x  9 messagebus users      4096 Sep 20 03:33 eclipse" <- is that normal?
ClientAlive:  tar rembers the original owner/group
you may need to chown/chmod it  to work properly on your system
Can anyone recommend software (free) for synchronizing files between ubuntu and windows?
thers unison walterwoj
if i can spell it right. ;)
what kind of sync are you looking for?
I want an auto-backup to my ubuntu file server with a minimum of bandwidth use (like rsync)
dr_willis: That's fine, but what do you think it means for something to be owned by messagebus? What even is that? (just curious).
ClientAlive:  its the UID that was rembered.. if their user name 'bob' happened to have the same UID as yoru user messagebus then thats the name that would show
I see
cat /etc/group | grep message
messagebus:x:105:
so i would bet the uid was 105 :)
do chmod and chown have a -r flag (to effect the directory and all it's content all the way to the leaves)?
they have recursive options yes
right on
dr_willis: which mobo do you have?
Not sure came with this ASUS desktop i got on sale last year. ;)
some MegaTrend I think
is it possible to see a list of kernel i have installed on my ubuntu server?
suttiwit, with something like:  dpkg -l | grep headers?
hmm
okay...
then... is it safe to remove the old ones?
suttiwit: yep
suttiwit, yes, just keep the current and the previous one, just to be on the safe side
dr_willis: It seems that the switch of SATA ports did the trick :-) Thank you very much!!!
ok
thx
does anyone know a simple way to install flash player on wine?
what would the number be for rwxrwx---  770?
andybrine:  check out the winetricks tool perhaps
was just looking at winetircks
Anyone here good with the lubuntu-desktop package?
not sure of any of the commands though and on the gui it does not seem to be present
:s
Techman:  thats a little vague
?
andybrine:  ask in #winehq also
andybrine: have you tried google chrome?
I installed lubuntu-desktop on my main Ubuntu install
12.04 LTS
ok thanks
will give it a shot
And now my Ubuntu boot screen branding is gone and is now replaced with Lubuntu
just installed play on linux as weel
Lubuntu branding
Techman:  yes.. thats undertandable..
trying google chrome now
it changed the default pymounth theme
plymouth
just want to watch netflix tbh
lol
How do I get the original Ubuntu branding back?
theres some command to switch pymouth themes.. id have to look it up at askubuntu.com  i dont rember it off hand
andybrine:  wine in windows - wont let you watch netflix
err flash in wine..
;)
andybrine, then i'm happy to give you this link! http://www.iheartubuntu.com/2012/11/update-on-netflix.html
No one knows how to get the branding back?
I hate when desktop packages change stuff like that
andybrine, netflix uses silverlight btw
Techman:  as i said.. id have to go to askubuntu.com and search for 'change plymouth theme'
thanks
Will do
Not sure who you were speaking to there :)
ahh, thanks for letting me know much appreciated
didnt know that
there's a s in my perms for the eclipse directory. This article says: "s instead of x in the owner permissions means that the 'sticky bit' (suid) is enabled, so this file will be executed with root permissions by all users..." But what does that mean?
sounds like a bad idea - root permissions for all users?
that netflix update looks good
andybrine, np
does that mean it does not working in ubuntu at all at the mo then?
andybrine:  what i notice about it is that it dosent to seem be officially from netflix.. so i wonder at how stable it will be
yeah true, could be unstable
andybrine:  netflix does not work on linux at this time - correct. that site seems to be doing somthing with wine. which as far as i know was broken with silverlight
ohh ok, damn it!!! :p
so i wonder what netflix's response will be.  its the DRM feature of silverlight that is the main issue i belive
andybrine, actually, the ppa is up already, and you can find it here:  https://launchpad.net/~ehoover/+archive/compholio/
I just specifically boycott netflix...
of course I got a Boxee Box and Rokus i can plug into a 2nd pc monitor if i wanted to watch netflix and every tv in the house can do netflix now.. and my phone..
there is a lot of updates that frequently say netflix will not realease a version for linux
but ive been waching CrunchyRoll this weel.
aweseom
hey peoples
thanks, going to give it a wirl
I have a question, has anyone else been getting the desktop crashing/freezing after installing from the software center
I wouldn't be asking except doing a chmod g+x eclipse has no effect (the friggin sticky bit won't go away)
How would I tell apt to blacklist all copies of libogg0 from a certain repository without locking the version and preventing security updates to the main Ubuntu release?
i only ask cause i cant find a crash report
(I've got the Trinity Desktop Environment repo added for certain apps that weren't ported to KDE 4 or are too buggy and it provides a version of libogg0 that can't be simultaneously installed both 32-bit and 64-bit)
You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these.
The following packages have unmet dependencies: libc-dev-bin : Depends: libc6 (> 2.13) but 2.12.1-0ubuntu10.4 is installed
When I run apt-get -f install then it wants to remove almost all packages...
Any suggestions?
ClientAlive: Sticky bit and executable are separate. They're just displayed in the same spot in the ls output.
ClientAlive: Unsetting sticky bits is done with "chmod -t"
okay... this. is. bad.
deitarion: yeah but what about the effect of the sticky bit. I'm still unclear about that but it sounds like anyone who runs the application runs it as root automatically - that doesn't sound good
lol, just did apt-get install netflix and its uninstalled wine and play on linux :s
I was resizing a partition using gparted, and suddenly X is hung... gparted is still running, but I can't recover X. What do I do?
ok. just have to trust it
ClientAlive: No, those are the setuid or setgid bit.
andybrine, just re-install them
ph8: ok
ClientAlive: Run `man chmod` to read about what all these bits do.
ok
man. I don't even know how to launch this thing since there is no menu entry in Activities and it doesn't come up in a search - what a trip...
ClientAlive: Open a terminal and type "man chmod".
ClientAlive: Anyway, for directories, the sticky bit forces all files inside the directory to only be deletable by the users that own them, regardless of other permissions. For files, it often has no effect but, on older systems, it caused the OS to try some tricks to make programs load faster.
looks liek we got er' fellas. I found it.
deitarion: well that doesn't sound too bad  :)
how do i run a install.sh in terminal
need to be root
hey, thx fellas
12.10 dell latitude e3400 [ctrl+alt+screen prnt] it turned off my monitor. had to rebooted and now I have no internet. Connects fin to router last time this happened i had to re-install
ClientAlive: For future reference, you can run "man whatever" for almost any command you might type in the terminal to read the manual page for it.
hi
hello
can someone help me with my ubuntu sound on thinkpad t60p
grah stupid launchpad. activation email is stuck in greylisting and they offer no option to resend manually
ok so netflix loaded perfectly
sudo ./install.sh
i am having a constant whistling sound the moment i unmute my sound
I hate reading man pages - I like talking to people about it. When I try to understand that junk (man pages) it makes no sense to me, when I talk to ppl things make perfect sense. Dunno why, maybe it's just my personality or learning style or something.
just uninstalled wine and playonlinux and now to install them again. It will remove netflix
lol
classic :)
ClientAlive: No biggie. The manpages can be rather verbose and technical. I sometimes Google for answers because a specific manpage is poorly written.
WeThePeople: I'm generally wary of any install.sh that NEEDS root (I put games in a folder in my homedir) but, if you really want to run it as root, make sure it's marked executable and then do as mhouse says.
goldeneye, that sounds like your microphone is making a feedback loop
did you try to lower the microphones volume?
thankyou mhouse deitarion
does anyone know the command to install programs in wine?
CorvusCorax how do i fix it
andybrine: Depends. I assume it's a .exe installer?
open the volume control and search for the slider for the microphone, then lower it. if the whistling goes away, that was it
yea it is
wine setup.exe
or whatever the installer is called
whats the pkg that does the install animation in the unity bar
excellent, thanks
its a bit more tricky with .msi's I keep having to look up the syntax for that
CorvusCorax holy cow -  looks like that was it
CorvusCorax: Wasn't it something like msiexec /i whatever.msi?
does that mean i wont be able to use mic and speakers on this machine?
deitarion, yeah i think that was it "wine msiexec /i <bla.msi>"
anyone know why my dashboard has stopped showing my applications?
Dash Home*
goldeneye, sure you can use the mic - for recording. the slider you lowered was the feedthrough
CorvusCorax: No need to prepend "wine". msiexec is /usr/bin/msiexec.
Hi
aka "I want to hear the signal from my microphone from my speakers live"
which you usually dont
CorvusCorax, i just turned the microphone slider to mute.
theres a separate slider for recording
I see. Ok.
cant believe i dint use ubuntu because of this simple sound issue :)
okay how can i catch a crash that isn't generating reports
loving it. sound is crisp and louder.
yay
hello, would you help me? i don"t know the reason return message 'http://paste.debian.net/210301/' when run 'apt-get -f install'
Hello! I would like to know if cron.weely behaves like anacron?
thanks much
ReAzem: Check /etc/anacrontab. Looks like it does.
I/quit
can anyone explain about SQL injection
deitarion, To be more specific, I would like to know if cron.daily will work if the computer isn't up all the time.
Endgame3984: This isn't really the place for that.
sorry wrong window
i've added myself to group "audio" , i still need to run alsa as root
ReAzem: /etc/anacrontab controls what anacron will run. On mine, it does contain those.
suttiwit: First, what do you mean by "run alsa". Second, did you log out and back in to apply the changes?
okay bye
exit
deitarion, Yeah, but cron.weely is cron's folder. Not anacron's.
few min ago my icons in the Unity bar (launcher) just desapeard, any idea what happened?
deitarion: well, run alsamixer
and it says mixer not found
ReAzem: As I understand it, anacron works by keeping track of when the system was last running and launches anything that should have run while the system was off.
oh wait... i didn't log out and back... thanks, anyway
can someone help me fix my dash home?
anyone know what would cause my wireless drives to not function
ReAzem: Anacron is controlled by /etc/anacrontab and the default anacrontab (at least on my system) processes /etc/cron.daily, /etc/cron.weekly, and /etc/cron.monthly just as cron does.
deitarion, Yeah, I know how anacron works. But I would like to use only cron if possible. and I was wondering if cron's "cron.daily" folder work the same way.
 I have a lenovo n586  notebook with no linux drivers from lenovo,  Its a amd a6 apu with an amd chipset. has anyone used this before? I am going to write a setup guide.
Hi guys
When I ls in ubuntu, I can only see my . files
ReAzem: cron.daily isn't really "cron's". It's just a folder. It gets its special behaviour because both the cron and anacron config files say "Once a day, look at this folder and run every script in it"
rocsteady:   try the alias command. see if your 'ls' is actually an alias
I would prefer to type ls -a to see my . files
That's what I was thinking
Should I man ls?
rebooting didn't even solved it.
Nm I will google for the alias command. Thank You!
deitarion, Does that mean both cron and anacron will run it?
cannot open mixer: No such file or directory
look at your alias's rocsteady  set up an alias to run ls how you want. ;)
it works on root
rocsteady, check .bashrc or .bash_alias for more info.
ReAzem: Yes. Cron will run it if the system is on at the desired time. Anacron will run it if it notices that the system was off at the scheduled time.
$ alias ls
alias ls='ls --color=auto'
hi
* rocsteady checking
deitarion, If the system is up, will it run twice at once?
alias command='args' isnt perm
ReAzem: No. Anacron only runs things if the scheduled time occurred while anacron was not running.
deitarion: rebooting didn't work, it still says 'cannot open mixer'.
I'm sorry I'm not too familiar with linux's directory structure, I made a dynamic motd that I put in /usr/local/bin and I'm wondering where the suited place to put a file that will be read and output but that I will change everynow and then (like the actual motd) ?
gotta run, working on my pastebin..i believe its ready for a hacker test :P
suttiwit: Give me a sec to think. I've never had that problem before.
deitarion, Thank you, this helped :). Does anacron looks in /etc/cron.daily by default or is it a configured behaviour?
dr_willis: blackness It was set as alias ls="ls -AF --color=auto" so I'll change it.
maslo:  thers some motd service that has a 'tail' file i belive you can edit and it gets tacked onto the end of the MOTD
Ty for your help.
deitarion: i am on server, btw
ReAzem: Since I've never edited /etc/anacrontab, it's probably by default. Read /etc/anacrontab and you'll see.
dr_willis: I desactivated the whole motd/lastlog/mail, made a dynamic one that looks like this http://i.imgur.com/JJLwe.png, but I'm gonna have an actual motd inside my dynamic motd
should I just use the actual motd file?
suttiwit: I've never used Ubuntu Server, to be honest. I feel that, given the existence of Debian, Ubuntu Server is rather pointless.
rocsteady, after you edit your files, . .filename and you dont have to relogin to take affects
or source .file ex: source .bashcd
or source .file ex: source .bashrc *
anyone know where my dash home icons have gone?
suttiwit: What does it say if you run `aplay -l`?
blackness: cool
InFlames:  give us more details as to what you mean

suttiwit: Mind pastebinning the output of "ls -lhd /etc/asound.conf /dev/snd /dev/snd/*"?
it seems to have happened before, and no one knows what causes it
:/
then it just randomly comes back
how can i access my applications separate from this?

you can always install some dock, or one of the classic menu indicator applets

suttiwit: Hmm. Looks OK. Try running `strace alsamixer > trace.txt` and pastebinning that.
suttiwit: Wait. Sorry.
suttiwit: Use `strace alsamixer 2> trace.txt`. We want stderr, not stdout.
walterwoj:  login via keys instead of password? dozens of guides out there.. basically i just do a 'ssh-keygen' on pc1 then ssh-copy-id servername
dr_wI have followed several guids but I can't get it to work.

ok, that woks locally now... anything special to make it work from windows using putty?
suttiwit: Ok, so it IS a permissions issue with /dev/snd/controlC0. (See line 155) Now to just figure out why.
putty has to some how inport/convert the keys i recall walterwoj
or have putty generate a key and have linux add it to the right file in .ssh (id have to try it to rember what ones)
hmm
deitarion: can i just do chmod or chown on /dev/snd/controlC0? since i am not using this as a server... i won't need much security :P
suttiwit: Bad idea to hack around that way... especially since I'm still trying to figure out why it even works on my end.

i just installed ubuntu
and need video driver for nvidia gtx-280
why?
is x working?
so my resolutins are correct
i dont have a 1080x720
how do i know what video card ubuntu detected?
suttiwit: Ok, I think this is beyond my abilities. I've never needed to track down permissions issues beyond this point.
tried the nvidia-current package yet?
no
how do i get it
ccc, sudo apt-get install nvidia-current
its in the package manager/repos
in terminal
sudo apt-get install nvidia-current   then reboot. then run nvidia-settings to tweak the displays
all i need for my 5 nvidia machines.
deitarion: okay, thanks anyway... i am just annoyed of running as root.
[GeForce GT 530] is what i got here on this box.
i forget what the other machines are running
suttiwit: My best guess is that they locked down the audio system in the server version of Ubuntu and I don't know enough about how they handle permissions on Ubuntu Server to tell you the proper way to adjust that policy.
how do i open the god damn package manager
any idea why icons on Unity bar disapeared?
deitarion, Finaly figured everyting out. Thank you. Also, this might interest you "ithin the cron.daily, weekly, and monthly directories ( /etc/cron.daily, etc.) there is a 0anacron file that sets the timestamps for anacron, so it will know they have been run, even if it didn't run them."

hi, I have a problem dual boooting win7 and ubuntu, can some one give me a hand?
* suttiwit gives Arkan a hand
Arkan: what problem?
tks for the hand =)
good morning
well I have a new Asus N76V that I am trying to install ubuntu 12.04
along with windows 7?
the thing is, Iam able to install Ubuntu but then I cant boot win7
This comp has 2 hard drive
2 physical drive? Arkan
win is installed as UeFI
yes =)
Arkan: don't do uefi. do standard
sorry I dropped for a second.. anyone have any ideas about a problem where Compiz is crashing, even after reboot, leaving me with no session manager?
yes, i tried to instal ubuntu standard
but win7 does not boot
Arkan: oh gosh... look
is I format the ubuntu disk win7 boots
Arkan: install windows 7 first as standard (not uefi). after that install ubuntu as standard (not uefi) and choose "Install alongside windows 7".
I  have been looping arround with this for the last 2 days, a nightmare
* suttiwit *facepalm*
I was trying to avoid that because I didnt want to mess up withthe original istalation of win7...
Arkan: the original one is installed as uefi?
yes
I can't convert my ubuntu key so that putty will accept (or convert) it says it doesn't support my encryption method.
Arkan: haven't you tried "install alongside windows 7"?
I dont get that option
Arkan: what are the options?
actually, when use uubuntu live gparted don get the win7 partitions
only erase disk and the advanced option
Arkan: ...gparted can't even find the hdd with win7?
disk utility can see the win7 partitions and i can mount them
it can find the hard drive but not the partitions
hm ok, i get it now
Arkan: go to advanced options... Partition the harddisk you are planning to install ubuntu and tell ubuntu to install to the harddisk for it.
yes, i have done that. I can install ubuntu, but when I try to boot win7, it wont boot
I think grub does not recognize that win is uefi
because try to run the files from the OS
anyhow, win7 does not boot
if i delete ubuntu win boots with no problem
Arkan: nah... i think you need to setup grub to detect OS from 2 physical hdd
Anyone have any ideas about how to trouble shoot a compiz crash, where after rebooting I can't see Unity, just my desktop?
I can access Terminal through hotkey... but I'm stuck
user_e, i heard that unity has some conflictions with compiz.
hmmmm, if I install cinnimon will it resolve this?
suttiwit, unity is a compiz plugin
grub give me  the option to boot win7 but win7 gives an error, so i think it detects win7
i'm not 100% sure I know what compiz is?
Arkan: what err?
error
on the other hand, I can install ubuntu with wubi and windows boots, but ubuntu does not
Arkan: what error did windows give you?
yes, installing ubuntu with the live cd, after instalation and rebooting I get an option to boot win 7 but win does not boot, thats the problem.
user_e, i would suggest MATE desktop environment if you want compiz.
let me check
user_e: or if you want normal unity, then leave it alone. :P
I don't really care about compiz... this is a default ubuntu config, after install, my window manager crashes
OK, "windows failed to start. bla bla" then File:\Boot\BCD Status:0xc000000e
I just want unity back
this kind of error
I'm logging into my ubuntu server remotely, so maybe I don't see it, but where is the place to go to settings in xbmc?
but windows boot is not dead
and I got an error saying compiz has crashed Compiz isn't something I added.
because if I delete ubuntu it boots OK
user_e, try disabling stuff you checked on compiz and remove ccsm so you don't mess around with it.
ccsm = compiz config settings manager
* M13 says Bye to all
I don't know how I would even get in to do that, because all I have is terminal
Arkan: this is as far i can help you.. i don't know. please seek for further support and explain your problem clearly.
Hello, I'm currently using xinerama to drive two monitors off of the proprietary ati radeon driver and I've noticed that when I alt tab or click on multi-window groups from the tab strip that the images are very blur and the machine slows down.  Something I read online suggested this was due to compositing not working on Xinerama... is there no remedy available to me?  Some way of rendering the multiple windows without "compositing" wh
atever that is?
and I never touched or enabled anything in ccsm
user_e: did you just installed "compiz"?
no, compiz comes with Ubuntu
ok, anyhow, thanks ... I realy like ubuntu, the best thing to work
I've installed almost no packages
hmm
this is fresh ubuntu
How can I determine from the command line whether a certain block device (/dev/sdx) is a hard drive or a memory stick etc. ?
user_e, you mean, suddenly it crashed without you touching compiz?
suddenly the window manager crashed with an error that compiz had crashed
i never touched compiz
ah
Is there an expert on dual boots of ubuntu in the house?
then it is a bug. user_e, report it at launchpad.
how could I get my window manager back?
user_e, what do you mean?
user_e, i don't know the solution.... you might probably want to try new window manager...
user_e, what graphics card do you have
I mean that unity does not come up when I turn on my computer
all I have is a blank desktop
and I have to use CTRL + ALT + T to get a terminal open and to get to XCHAT
user_e, right, then you should try resetting unity
how do I do that?
user_e, open a terminal, like you are doing already and give:  unity --reset
graphics card is Geforce 650M
user_e, then, if needed, to restart it, give:  unity --replace
it says "ERROR: the reset option i now deprecated"
is*
user_e, actually, ok, give me a min
user_e: had an issue that looked similar just happen today. i have a gtx 660. ended up downloading the latest nvidia drivers and rebooted and everything came back.
user_e, then, follow the instructions here: http://www.webupd8.org/2012/10/how-to-reset-compiz-and-unity-in-ubuntu.html
user_e: i used these instructions today http://techhamlet.com/2012/11/install-nvidia-drivers-in-ubuntu-12-10/
was crazy, had no window borders or task bar, everything came back after the update
sorry i crashed
this is user_e
had to get on another computer. when I restarted my computer, now it says "The system is running in low-graphics mode"
how can I generate a DES-EDE3-CBC key (so it will work with putty) ?
is that floodbot1 botnet there ??
x-(
can i use xbmc to stream videos to my xbox 360 ?
newroad, you might try updating your nvidia drivers as shown here:  http://techhamlet.com/2012/11/install-nvidia-drivers-in-ubuntu-12-10/
that worked for me today
Techcel: yeah, why not
hi?
sorry
I actually tried updating them with Additional Drivers today
i was testing
I am having issues with my Windows Media Center Remote and LIRC.  I've described my problem here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=12360215

Hi Hatori, Just cant dual boot win7 and ubuntu, I think this must be complicated because could not find any help in the web
Can someone help me with my fresh install of ubuntu server 10.04 , it wont connect to the network,  dchpdiscover is sending requests to 255.255.255.255, how do i fix it?
arkan, are you have both of system successfully installed?
Arkan:  cant find any? should be dozens of pages on how to reinstall grub, and other tricks.. what is the system doing exactly?
dr_willis: deactivated ipv6 due to no exisiting ipv6 router
Anyone?
Yes, I heve run throug many for the last 2 days and get nothing
veryhappy:  cant say ive herd about many ipv6 issues these days.
both systems are installed
dr_willis: i first saw that now that it searched for an ipv6 router that wasn't there
win7 is from the factory
is installed in one hard drive
Can someone help me with my fresh install of ubuntu server 10.04 , it wont connect to the network,  dchpdiscover is sending requests to 255.255.255.255, how do i fix it?
dr_willis: i read about a few issues due to missing ipv6 routers
I think is UEFI
because of the fat partition
at the beginig of that hard drive
Arkan:  you are using 12.10 or 12.04 ?
hi folks
12.04
lts
64bits
emerc-y, like your dhcp server problem '?
@rlmccormick, thanks i'm installing the drivers with this guide now. will report in a sec
runing ubuntu live cd I cant detect windows7, but i have made the correct partitions to install ubuntu in the second hard drive
may be worth the effort to try 12.10 on it. it may handle UEFI better.
you have 2 totally seperate hard drives? that should make things easier also.
hum... yes, i have not tried 12.10
yes
what i thought
but it has been a nightmare
ok thank you i'll try it now.
thers some grub uefi packages i belive also.. but ive never needed them
take care
at the end, if i install ubuntu from live cd i can boot ubuntu but win7 gives an error
if i install ubuntu from wubi i can run win7 but ubuntu gives an error
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI
id forget wubi even exists.. ;)
Can someone help me?
Can someone help me with my fresh install of ubuntu server 10.04 , it wont connect to the network,  dchpdiscover is sending requests to 255.255.255.255, how do i fix it?
if you use the manual partitioning ("Something else"), the difference is that you will have to create and use an EFI partition (see the "Creating an EFI partition" paragraph below).
Arkan:  you made a efi partion when you made your partion layout? (im reading that wiki page)
Can someone help me with my fresh install of ubuntu server 10.04 , it wont connect to the network,  dchpdiscover is sending requests to 255.255.255.255, how do i fix it?
not, I was thinking that ubuntu could run without uefi
What more details do you need?
since it is on another different hard drive
Arkan:  from what i read it can.. but if you set the bios to not be uefi mode.. then the other os will have issues..
again.. im just reading at   https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI
yes, but turning it on does not make win7 to boot

re-installing the drivers drought back my access to the desktop, but after I log in, unity never loads. I have just a blank desktop (with the abiilty to open terminal through hotkey).. any ideas?
dr_willis ?
newroad: Try "startx"
In a terminal
emery-c: ? .. so set a static ip?
i have done that
newroad, did you try resetting it? http://www.webupd8.org/2012/10/how-to-reset-compiz-and-unity-in-ubuntu.html
but it wont connect to the internet or local netowork
done basic testing yet? can you ping the gateway? router? DNS servers?
cant do any of that
emery-c: incorrect NIC driver?
sounds like you set the ip up wrong then.
kostkon, yes i did
How do i fix it, i am really confused?
when i try to ping it says
newroad, hmm, ok then
but not all of the commands listed here on this page. let me try this
From 192.168.1.2 icmp_seq=1 Destination Host Unreachable
i use Wcid for conect to Internet )
how exactly did you set the ip?
by editing one of the files
  /etc/init.d/networking
it was in one of the tutorials
Hmmm.. im pretty sure you DONT edit that file.. but some other files
oh
or you can use the ifconfig command
how do i do that?
what does ifconfig say about the ip information?
it says alot, anything specific?
inet addr:192.168.1.126  Bcast:192.168.1.255  Mask:255.255.255.0
My ip is 192.168.1.2  BCAST 192.168.3.255 mask 255.255.252.0
and the route command shows the default gateways
?
oh
192.168.1.0     *               255.255.255.0   U     1      0        0 eth0
it shows
hi is it possible to install ubuntu server without creating any user(as it is asking for one), just using root by default
the initial user is the admin user Shadowix  with the root rights.. so i dont think thats a good idea
192.168.0.0     *         255.255.252.0              U  0  0  0    eth0
default 192.168.1.1 0.0.0.0 UG 100 0 0 eth0
yes dr_willis, but i would like to do only a root user for testing purpose, possible?
are the two that show up
Shadowix: Sounds like a horrible idea, but you could always delete the user
Shadowix:  no idea...
most likely NOT doable during the install
Shadowix:  i wonder why you are using a netmask of 255.255.252.0 when its just a local lan,
Me?
my networking skills are rather basic. im on a simple home lan here. so i dont need much more then  the basics..
yea. :0 wrong nick. heh.
mv /home/x/Data/Dropbox/Camera\ Uploads/* /home/x/Pictures/Camera
Thanks guys!
i made it that
or woops
cause of the tutorial
emery-c:  sounds like you made some mistakes would be my guess.. but i dont know what tutoal you are following
0 20 * * 6 mv /home/x/Data/Dropbox/Camera\ Uploads/* /home/x/Pictures/Camera
kostkon: when I do unity-reset I get this error: "extension GLX is missing on display ":0.0".
That should do it I think
and: "Fatal: glxQueryExtensionsString is NULL for screen 0"
dr_willis   How should it be set up then?
newroad: Do you have integrated graphics or a graphics card (and if so what manufacturer is the graphics card)? I had an issue with my ATI Radeon card on my laptop.  The graphics driver from Ubuntu standard desktop installed driver and official driver from ATI site did not work.  I installed Open Source driver and the Unity interface issue was fixed after reboot.
it's taking  > 30 minutes to boot from a flash drive with 12.04 on it
I don't care the settings, i just need internet
any idea how to find out what's wrong?
xpistos, why not just symlink Camera Uploads to Camera
xpistos, or vice versa
emery-c:  my gateway  ip is 192.168.1.1  so my netmask is 255.255.255.0
ok
will that fix it?
emerc-y dhclient eth0
is it bad that i have 2 gateways?
the local lan just has a range of 192.168.1.*  (1 throguh 255)
davelindenberg: its a Geforce 650M
newroad, try rebooting again
im not evne sure what a netmask of   255.255.252.0     would mean. ;)
haha
k, just rebooted kostkon, same thing
is it bad that i have 2 gateways?
normally its a 255 or a 0 for each field./range..
ok
but
i have 2 gateways
is that bad?
no idea. i only use the most basic of lan setups for my home.
router -> lan ;)
dr_willis, that would mean a subnet of 10 binary digits
you are going   router -- wifi  ->laptop -> wired to a PC.  (correct)
newroad, did you install the nvidia graphics driver? check which driver you are using, try giving in the terminal: software-properties-gtk  hopefully the window will show up
yes dr_willis
escott:  that clears it up..... ;)     then again.. i barely know what a subnet is. ;P
emery-c:  so your gateway is the ip of the laptop i would think.
oh
ok
since the laptop is useing internet conection shareing mode..
newroad: Did you try the Nvidia driver from June 2012? http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux-display-amd64-295.59-driver.html?ClickID=d2mtm2tsoxksbkobmcnznsx20bn22ytbcymy
kostkon, i just installed the latest video driver per someone else in this channel
dr_willis, yeah im not much more experience but his would range from 192.168.0.0 to 192.168.3.255
isent it?
i had this problem before isntalling the nvidia driver, however.
emery-c:  so what OS is on the laptop?
hello,good morning :d
dr_willis, so except for not being a standard sized class A,B,C,D network it looks ok (the BCAST is correct)
newroad, it seems that something has gone wrong then
kostkon, I realize ;)
windows 7
emery-c:  you did turn on/enable the ICS feature of widnows? i thought that put a dhcp server on the windows box for the clients to get info from...
Yes
it had internet during install
btw, it looks like i can get a session manager to come up if I use Gnome. but both Cinnamon and Unity do not work
i am not quite sure whether this is the right place but i might need some hel regarding the installation of ubuntu 12.04. could anybody help me?
this is frustrating
sebastian, ask
when I open nvidia x server settings it says: "You do not appear to be using the NVIDIA V Driver. Please edit you X config file"
newroad, I think you need to remove that driver and try again to install the one from the repos. Or at least, open the software sources and select the nouveau driver, and there is a possibility that unity will start after enabling it.
so the gateway would be my laptop ip addrtess?
since its the ics server yes.. the laptops gateway would be the routers ip#.
as i understand it.
actually i did install the one from the repos
be curious if a live cd just 'worked' with the same setup or not.
No
thanks, escott. i want to install ubuntu on my desktop pc. it is an (u)efi system. i select my cdriom drive with the uefi annotation. grub starts. if i choose "install ubuntu" the screen just goes black. same for "try ubuntu"
the laptop has a diffrent ip then the router
if I do sudo nvidia-xconfig, I get this error: "WARNING: unable to locate/open x configuration file. New X Configuration file written to ..."
the laptops gateway should be pointing to the routers ip....
hey guys, why could it be that a user i created isn't sourcing /etc/profile.d/* /
?
darthdeus:  ther default shell could be 'sh' instead of bash.. how did you create the user?
dr_willis: via chef, the shell is set to bash
chef? Never heard of it.,
i normally just do 'sudo adduser billgates' ;P
check that they have the normal .bashrc* and other files from /etc/skel/ also
server setup automation thingy http://opscode.com/
hm interesting, he has no bashrc
dr_willis: what would adduser root do?
darthdeus: how are you sure they aren't being sourced?
woot-0854:  explode the system. :) or just fail most likely
it would break
:)
there is a root user. just direct logging in as root is disabled
jrib: because there's one script inside of it which loads rbenv and it works for one user, but not for the other, and it's loaded via /etc/profile.d/rbenv.sh
darthdeus: do something simple like touch a file or echo
well i will bbl.
darthdeus: and make sure it's not a permission issue
jrib: it's not permissions, all /etc/profile.d are owned by root and both of the users have the same rights
looks like the user doesn't even have a home directory ^^
wad up
delete the user, and readd.
what up

hey does irc. still allow you to register Nicknames?
emerc-y, what is your laptop os ?
Windows 7
anyone have any ideas?
i'm stuck here :(
emerc-y, have you setup internet connection sharing in your laptop ?
******************* Does anyone know the command for Register nickname on IRC%
yes
It was working during the instalation
escott, thanks but i am a little confused. on the page the bot gave me there is some minimalistic gui where you can select nomodeset via f6. the screen on my machion looks like the third one in this link under "hybride instaalations medien" http://wiki.ubuntuusers.de/Baustelle/EFI_Installation_Erfahrungsberichte
zthanks&& :)
does anyone know of an audio tracker that is in repo and works on CLI? I am on a CLI so i can't get a GUI...
suttiwit: what does an audio tracker do?
emerc-y, but not for now ?
suttiwit: are you looking for an equlizer?
Anyone here use uuntu on a remote seedbox? and thoughts?
Nope
jrib: i can compose music, I key in the notes and the sound will be based on the instruments.
blackshirt *
suttiwit: ok, I don't know about that
suttiwit, what you mean with audio tracker ?
emerc-y, i don't play a bit with windows 7
blackshirt: google "audio tracker". wikipedia is good
suttiwit, sorry, thats not help ...
I didn't even know audio worked with CLI.
DaemonicApathy: alsa
Fair point.
emerc-y, you should ensure you get a proper gateway, dns setup, and proper connection
How do I setup ubuntu as a remote seedbox?
walterwoj, remote seedbox ?
A machine you use to download torrents so as to not tie up your main machine with such tasks.
maybe
escott, nevermind, i found out how to use nomodeset in this interface. but now i have different problems. now it freezes during the loading screen... where the five little dots under the ubuntu logo  change colors from white to orange
i'm starting to give up here. no one :9
:(

after I ran the nvidia-xconfig, my resolution is now 640x480 on top of all of these other problems

dave: extension GLX is missing on display 0.0
Can someone familiar with mysql help me I have a few questions,  Im running 12.04
Does it really seem to scary for everybody?
Guest15982: What is your question?
guestr19852, yes, but changes your nick
davelindberg: extension GLX is missing on display 0.0
newroad: Try to reconfigure Xorg "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg"
blackshirt: how does one change their nick?
done, what next?
type /nick someothernick
Guest15982: /nick <whatever>
ok thanks
newroad: you will need to reboot.  I hope, Xorg will see new driver you installed.
I am trying to pull everything from my iphone4s, but= i keep receiving erros. I use to have an app that pulled every song and file from the iphone, but its mad old and id ont know where it is.
<subcool> ubuntu or windows- please.. any help
okey,mitch_starr ... So what is your problems?
ok not sure if you guys remember but ... i created the user properly, gave him the same .bashrc, home directory, bash, etc ... but he's still not sourcing /etc/profile.d/* ... even though he can do it manualy
Ok, here goes,   Im running 12.04 server with mysql, and im trying to access the mysql server through libreoffice base on another machine on the same network,   I cannot for the life of me figure this one out.
k, rebooting now
is there a native driver for libreoffice to connect ?
I can access the mysql server through Mysql workbench on the fedora pc so i know mysql is working properly,   but my problem comes when i try to get libreoffice base to work.    Should i go to a libeoffice irc to find better help or will this room suffice?
davelindberg: same thing :(
extension GLX missing
I go to database wizard then connect to an existing database then select MySql
then connect directly
newroad: :-(
newroad: if you want to keep trying the nvidia driver, I did find this... http://us.download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86_64/295.59/README/index.html
the problem i think is my ubuntu server machine wont let me connect to mysql lthrough tcp/ip.    I can connect to it through a ssh tunnel though,  but base willnot let me do that.
newroad: maybe it can help.  with my ati card, I opted to uninstall my driver from ati and install Open Source Galium driver.  Which fixed my issue.
newroad: sorry i could not help more.
mitch_starr, configure your mysql server to accept tcp connections
hey guys, I;ve got a NIC problem, and my machine doesn't get an IP
i guess i could try to manually install the driver instead of using the repo
"sudo lshw -class networ"  shows 2 NIC's and one says "DISABLED"
this is what i've been using to install the driver: http://techhamlet.com/2012/11/install-nvidia-drivers-in-ubuntu-12-10/
You know what config option that is under?     I know the config file and all that,  just if you can point me to the option
this is the one that has been workign for the past 4 years or so
how do I enable it?
ok more targeted question, what manages if a user loads /etc/profile.d/*?
I have a problem with one of my sound cards.
It works fine in a 12.10 live environment, but not in my current installation.
escott, i dont want to bother you but do you still think you can help me or am i a lost cause?
blackshirt
sorry
i had to leave
how do i get internet to my machine?
newroad: If you want to try Open Source Nvidia drivers... you can find directions here... https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia
yeah, but the opensource driver is no good for gaming or video editing
newroad: have you seen this page for Nvidia driver install? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NvidiaManual

Well, y'know.  It's Saturday night.
Even nerds have to sleep, drink, and take a break.
That's true. xD

oh.
Honestly the ironic thing is I switched to Fedora 17 due to Unity, but Gnome 3 has been rather glitchy for me, like horizontal lines appearing after a while. So I'm thinking of switching back to Ubuntu x-x

question: I installed ioquake3. but running ioquake3 @ console tells me that command is not found... help?
Chaos7Theory: if you're getting graphical artifacting it's not gnome's fault... either a) your video hardware is in distress or b) your video driver has a problem (and frankly, this is Linux, the latter is unfortunately very likely)
Chaos7Theory: and by the by, if you prefer apt-get there's an unofficial Ubuntu flavor that ditches Unity entirely for a 100% standard gnome 3 experience
that's what I'm running on my tablet, and frankly, it works better with the touchpad than it does the touchscreen :P
It's Mobile Intel 4 Express, but the system thinks it's Mobile Intel GM45 Express Chipset. Then again, GM45 could have been the code name or something
Is there some kind of DHCP + TFTP server live cd iso i can download?
Chaos7Theory: IIRC recent Intel chips' drivers are still very WIP, so no DE is going to be totally stable
It's not that recent honestly.
It predates the HD series.
hm, Q3'08
uh, that definitely does NOT predate the HD series...
is there a way i can return my ubuntu to a vanilla state
Didn't the first HD one come out in 2010?
oh, I'm thinking of a different HD
i.e. after i installed some stuff to /usr/local/bin, and who knows what else, i want to get back to a vanilla state, i.e. pure ubuntu release stuff
still, that's pretty damn recent as Linux drivers go
I wouldn't expect anything newer than a late GMA to be 100%
So, pretty much SOL as far as an 'out-of-the-box' stability goes?
well, you could try the gnome 3 "software" beta thing that fedora is doing
don't remember exactly how it goes
there definitely is a big push to get gnome 3 to provide a good experience on systems with compromised or nonexistent graphics acceleration so expect huge improvements over the next year
Well, I have other motivations to switching back to Ubuntu, at laest namely the wide support it gets not in just community but software compatibility and support as well. At least, save for Sun Java
Chaos7Theory: Ubuntu Gnome-Shell Remix is the best of both worlds that way :P and no, we don't officially have Oracle (it's not Sun anymore) Java. You have to use a custom installer out of a PPA.
NOBODY has Oracle Java. Except Gentoo, because portage is crazy like that.
there is no /dev/dsp ... what do I substitute?
scarrs: the new location is /dev/sound/dsp. If you don't have that you're missing a module...
Honestly I actually went through rather simple steps to get Sun Java to work on Fedora since they supply rpms, and also had setup a script that fixed Minecraft.

roothorick: ty will edit my commands and see biab
:)
Mainly because OpenJDK doesn't work with Minecraft, and even Sun Java 7 doesn't work with Minecraft right away due the incompatibility with some of the internal plugins I found
well, OpenJDK does work with minecraft, it's just really, really slow
because the OpenJDK NAPI stuff is woefully unoptimized
and LWJGL abuses the crap out of NAPI
It was... uh, the liblwjgl files
really? Java 7 has a problem with LWJGL? Oh, that does not bode well.
OpenJDK doesn't work with Minecraft at all in actually with the most recent versions. It cannot register keyboard events
it worked for me, just so goddamn slow
If you try to move (walk) or type or whatever, it doesn't pick up anything. It only recognizes the mouse
you sure that was the JDK's problem?
JRE, whatever
I searched on it, most other people had the same problem and pointed to OpenJDK
ubuntu 12.04 installation freezes after selecting "install ubuntu" during loading screen. if i am quiting bootlogo it freezes after generating locales operation is complete.  i am running a more or less modern machin with uefi board. any help or suggestions?
Another more generic question, what's the point in having 'su' and 'sudo' instead of just one super-user command?
Chaos7Theory, sudo is a newer replacement for su that is far more flexible
Which I noticed. It's annoying and pointless to so su -c 'blablah' when it's simpler to use: sudo command arguments

how much hdd space does ubuntu take up??
Says the system requirements are 768 MB RAM at elast, and 5 GB harddrive space
ls
Something I don't understand is the point in LVM. They say the point is 'easier to resize partitions', but that's BS, ._. . It takes a lot of work to just resize one partition, and it's a lot simpler to just use Gparted on a simply arranged system
Is there any way short of doing a fresh install to get ubuntu back to as if it were a fresh install?
micro_j: i'd just do a fresh install
I cant acess the internet, because I don't have browser. how can I decompress tar.bz2 files?
If you have separate partitions for root and home, you can take the home folder and use it in your new installation so you don't lose all your personal files
All you'd have to worry about from a fresh install then is reinstalling packages
I cant acess the internet, because I don't have browser. how can I decompress tar.bz2 files?
rsser, You dont have to repeat your question
Using the terminal, or gui?
I don't have any important things on the computer, I just want to do a fresh install without having to download and make a new install disc, as I'm away from home and have very slow internet
terminal, brandon420
Decompressing tar files should be installed by default.
but there is parameters
that you have to type
like -zxf
i dont remember them
rsser, tar jxvf
thank you, brandon420
The example I found was: tar -zxvf filename.tar.gz
yepp
tar jxvf <filename>.tar.bz2
Chaos7Theory: it is tar.bz2
Oh, bv2? Yeah, -jxvf
it is different each one of them
linux isn't in the same league as an ms os
rsser, just highlight me if you need me to look anything else up for you.
thank you, brandon420
that's all
And I don't think you need internet just in case you need to use a command. Do man's depend on internet access?
i thank you very much for everything, brandon420
Chaos7Theory: sadly, mans with computers, do...
kj4: Is there a way to do a fresh install from within ubuntu without downloading and creating a new install disc?
no problem rsser
micro_j: could be, but i'd best it's easier to burn a new copy
Well, since you can access the IRC, at least you'll be able to use man command/program, or potentially: command/program -h or --help
The help parameter depending on the command I believe
kj4: I have no doubt that it would be easier, but I am away from home and have such slow internet that i'm trying to avoid having to download the whole thing
micro_j: whats really wrong? user issue or system issue?
micro_j: make a new user, delete the old one
micro_j: that cleans up a lot of stuff
Doesn't necessarily fix having an over-abundance and emss of packages

amazing
ubuntu is amazing
RamchandraApte_: why?
Because
Chaos7Theory: mm. you are right
m1rach4n: to stop my game addiction
I think I know how to do it anyways.
Just now, I rsync'd a dir from a remote host to my local host
I noticed that problem with Fedora, that with all the depencies I accumulated, it was getting really messy @_@
& when I was specifying the path to the source dir on my remote host (from my local host)
So it was easier to just reinstall the OS, than try to figure out which packages are no longer depended upon
RamchandraApte_: it's much easier to remove your games btw
I was able to tab-complete the source dir
m1rach4n: I removed it.
but then I installed it again
I was using rsync over ssh (which by the way I'm a newbie to rsync)
m1rach4n: it's easier for me to blacklist the GPU module
rocsteady: linux is ballz, right?
Is this an ubuntu specific thing?
Yup

YokoBr maybe this page is any help >> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HybridGraphics
... They have an IRC Ubuntu channel called ubuntu-irc? x-x
RamchandraApte_: i don't think it's possible to disable your GPU only, you hv to disable your graphic card as well...
OerHeks, nope, it doesn't :(
m1rach4n: ?
m1rach4n: aren't graphics card the same as the GPU
m1rach4n: I'm going to blacklist the driver.
RamchandraApte_: and you'll get a nice, black screen.
m1rach4n: oh yeah oops
m1rach4n: graphics card is different from GPU
m1rach4n: I'll just boot recovery and undo the changes in case anything goes wrong.
Curious what this will say
RamchandraApte_: A graphics card is an interface of GPUs. Normal desktop/laptops do not a naked GPU.

hi, in unity, what is the fastest way to switch between the open windows of an application?
very: ALT+TAB?
I have a problem with byobu, I'm running ubuntu server version 12.04.1 When i try to press byobu's key combination that contains SHIFT, CTRL or ALT. It does not do like what the help page says. But I expect it to do the same as the help page says.
bkc_: looks right. i thought you could only switch between applications with ALT+TAB. but i tested it now and it shows all windows.
i think my ALT+TAB menu changed somehow. mm.. looks better now.
bkc_: i read that ALT+<key above TAB> was for switching between the windows of the same app. but i can only switch between two of them.
very: thats something I do not know about as I do not use Unity :)
but now i think alt+tab is the best solution in my case. i should have just tried it. thanks bkc_.
very: no problem :)
hellooo
bkc_: what do you use then instead of unity?
i3wm :)
very: try xubuntu\\
because unity is really driving me mad. so many weird things.
very: simple tiling WM w/o anything and no bling :)
i thought i would have the least trouble with the latest lts of ubuntu.

very: well, my personal(!!) opinion about the default Ubuntu GUI is that someone got a little bit too high after 9.04 ^.^
or if it was 9.10... don't remember really :/
i bet it would make a nice wm for a small tablet. but it's really not the right thing for a desktop pc.
hi. i have just done a fresh install of 12.04. however my wireless network is very slow. web pages take a long time to load.installation of updates takes forever.

because the network manager is changed
it have to talk back to the mothership
Assuming for the worse? @ iuser
i just use wicd instead of default network manager

ISO part?
"Select you ISO?
bkc_: so you installed a regular ubuntu but then switched the wm? or would i have to install a different ubuntu?
no, i am *trying to install it
network manager worked beautifully in 11.04. what can I do now? does wicd work better? I don't know which wireless card I am using. maybe broadcom
i am at step 2
it wants to know "my desktop iso'?
very: sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop
wtf is that??
That's directed at very.
very: I personally use ArchLinux since about 12.04 got released :)

:|
moose-machine: then open up a terminal and type in `lspci` (without the ``)
Laptop1: do you have a cell phone?
(lol) yes but no camera
phone without camera? are you from the past?
i want one like that
yes from 1974

But I love Ubntu and that is what counts here

yangwenjun_: stop
Laptop1: well we're just trying to figure out what you're doing
my broadcom BCM4313 stopped working after update to 12.10...wich package to install?
"Step 2: Select you Ubuntu-12.04*desktop*.iso"
Laptop1: where are you seeing that
 bkc_: done. the output is: 44:00.0 Network controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR9285 Wireless Network Adapter (PCI-Express) (rev 01)
I think you're referring to Pendrive
lotuspsychje: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx
Have you downloaded the ISO yet?
Universal USB Installer 1.9.1.6 Setup is where I am seeing it
ohh
I downloaded the iso
then yeah, go ahead and select it
i am *trying* to install it
moose-machine: http://askubuntu.com/questions/205704/cannot-get-atheros-ar9285-to-work-on-12-10 :)
bkc_:it says my driver is already latest
it wants me to type something, what should I enter at step 2?
is my question
choose the iso
lotuspsychje: do you have the correct firmware for it ?
again, *what* should I type into that box?
You're not installing it, you're actually extracting the ISO onto the USB Flash Drive so yu can boot from it using a computer. It should just be a drop-down menu
Laptop1: it seems like it's asking for the iso. pick it.
I dont even know what an iso is
bkc_:not sure wich to grab
iso = disc image
HOW
we cannot see your screen
lotuspsychje: It's clearly explained in that wiki, just read _all_ of it :)
what should I type into that box
it should be a file selecting thing, not a typing thing
bkc_: thanks for the link. it is trying to open it now. :) meanwhile i am in the process of installing wicd also. let's see what happens. :) thx.
ok then what file should I select?
the iso you downloaded
and where
Can I use partclone to copy a partition with 250GB of data .... in some reasonable amount of time?
Hold on, trying to open the program
bkc_:theres no section for firmware on 12.10 on that page
@ Laptop1
Where is it located?
ok
wherever you downloaded it to
Assumingly, it should be in your Downloads folders
moose-machine: wicd is actually really nice :) my only reason for using network-manager is because I use a 4G-modem on a regular basis and I havn't hacked together any support for usb-dongles in it yet ^.^
lotuspsychje: then use the last available :)
The easiest way is to open the browser, then the downloads window and right-click on the download to select 'Open Containing Folder' or something along the lines to see where the file is located
ok
bkc_: arch linux sounds great. i'm just afraid that there will be problems i cannot solve sometimes. and then i'll spend hours or days on a task before giving up.
very: indeed, if you don't already know exactly what you're doing, arch requires time, sometime lots of time ^.^ but if you have the time it's great for learning :)
i am still sooo lost
very: Arch is mostly for fanatics (like me) and for people who want's a hobby ^.^
Sorry just I forgot to install wine and installing it now. ._.
* iuser blacklisted arch
http://www.pendrivelinux.com/universal-usb-installer-easy-as-1-2-3/
iuser: ?
bkc_: thx. i tried swtiching over to wicd when i first installed 10.10. however i had to uninstall network-manager instead, and it did not work. it was painful to locate and install network manager again. so i am a bit scared to try that again. :(
please look at step 2
and wtf should i do there?
Okay, you selected the Distribution.
Hit the browse button.
Laptop1: hit browse and go to the iso you downloaded
why do they to make this hard?
i cant find it
Hitting browse isn't that hard. ._.
What OS are you on
?*
windows
I mean, Windows XP, or Windows Vista/7/8?
8
moose-machine: uninstalling NM shouldn't be required to use wicd, but disabeling is (sudo service network-manager stop)
I'm having a serious issue.
It should ber under your user folder, then there would be a folder called Downloads, or it could have potentially saved on the Desktop instead.
be under*
godlyhell_, what is your problem. keep the editorials to a  minimum
Updated from 11.10 to 12.04 and towards the end it went goofy forcing me to hardboot.
bkc_: that's great. thank you for that. and does wicd kick in automatically or do i have to start it from the terminal also?
i cant find it, why do they make this so hard on people who dont know shit about it?
i guess i would try arch if i had a fallback computer with a more user friendly os. so whenever there is a difficult problem i'm not forced to solve it immediately.
im just trying to install it
Laptop1: you downloaded the ubuntu iso, correct?
moose-machine: you have to start the daemon (sudo service wicd start) and then either start wicd-{gtk,cli} manually or as an autostart (this only works on the gtk-version as you might understand ^.^)
moose-machine: so it's pretty much exactly like how NM works :)
bkc_: great thanks. :)
Laptop1, it's Microsoft making it hard, they are evil.
Now everything is all screwy. I'm sure the update didnt fully install but I cant figure out how to reinstall it.
godlyhell_: If you want help, describe your problem. Saying that everything is "screwy" doesn't give us anything to go on.
chaos: i should have known, they make it sooo hard to install linux
those asses
Well, did you ever open the browser and its download window like I said?
After I booted up from hardbooting it, it looked like the install was successful. The whole look was different.
moose-machine, there is a way to get wicd to start automatically when you boot your computer
It's just a matter of finding where your downloads go by default.
After rebooting again, it all reverted back to 11.11.
@ Laptop1
ok trying agin
Which browser did you use to download the file?
hmmm
i'm trying to manually stop x to manually install nvidia drivers
but when i stop it, i never get command line
rc-update add wicd boot, I believe
I'm using sudo service lightdm stop
newroad: why are you installing them manually?
newroad: try CTRL+ALT+F1 :)
because when i install through repos it crashes my computer
newroad: you'll have more problems down this path
thanks bkc
Ben, why?
and it's unsupported here
Ben64: a manual installation is unsupported ?
every time the kernel changes, you will lose video
chaospsychex: yep
that isn't correct anymore...
bkc_: what? the kernel changing and loosing video or that #ubuntu doesn't support a manual installation procedure ?
chococrois: kernel-part...
Weird... Ubuntu's video is really, really sugglish in VIrtualBox despite the fact I've given it 1.25 GB RAM and 64 MB of video memory and 3D Hardware Rendering
#ubuntu doesn't even support PPA's
even with CTRL ALT F1 i get an error that X is still running
newroad: have you tried "sudo apt-get install nvidia-current"
do I use the hotkey after stopping X?
Chaos7Theory: It's virtualized so not that much of a surprice really :P
Ben, I wated 14 hours today on that
wasted*
newroad: sudo killall -s 9 X
newroad: what was the problem
after stopping lightdm
godlyhell_, did it revert to the earlier version or did it just revert back to the previous GUI/desktop
It's a surprise to me because other OSes haven't had as much problems. x-x'
Ben, it was giving this error:
extension GLX is missing on display 0.0
and I ended up having to reinstall ubuntu
I think just the desktop. I'm not sure. The login page is different now, too. And under info it does say it's version 12.04.
Then again, I haven't updated the guest OS ye, so that's probably why.
i lost Unity, and then I couldn't even change my res from 640
newroad: what does "lspci | grep -i vga" say
its a geforce 650m
Pretty high-end.
is that the only card in there?
newroad: screw manual install and go with the x-swat ppa instead :)
newroad, hybride optimus?
hey guys when i boot the ubuntu 12.10 install cd, it just boots to a black screen with the mouse pointer
i can ctrl-alt-f1 and get to a command prompt though
i want all users, guest and remote login away from login screen, how do i do this?
newroad, that product isnt on the support list for 304.43 (nvidia-current) http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux-display-ia32-304.43-driver.html
650m is mobile, so that'd be weird if there was more than one dedicated video card in a laptop xD
or, scratch that, it most certainly is :p
vivid: hence why he's trying to install a newer version manually :)
i tried x-swat ppa as well, actuallty
Hi. I ubuntu seems to have some problem. how do i fix this - http://123talk.in/internal-error.png
newroad: have you tried the 310 drivers from the repository
what is the default sound system in 12.10 pulse or alsa?
shantorn: both
newroad: If I'm not mistaken (or outdated) x-swat should keep up with nvidia.com, so manually is actually never required :)
Is there a reason Ubuntu lacks a fallback mode like Unity 2D now by default?
bkc_: yes but x-swat uses the stable ones
shantorn: pulse is a wrapper on top of alsa
oh btw, i did find out in my ubuntu vm, if anyone tries to install the netflix-desktop from the ppa, netflix will only work if you have mscorefonts installed
the new 310 drivers have more performance but aren't "stable" yet
Ben64: uhm, yes... should be sufficient for a 650m :)
editing users.conf from etc/lightdm doesnt work for me, i want all users away how can i do this?
this right?
sudo apt-add-repository ppa:ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates
I have a fresh install of ubuntu 12.10 studio am and unable to get compiz cube to work can someone please hlep a noob out?
ty chaos, I am tyrin wubu instead
Ben64, according to nvidia, 310.19 is official stable
I"ve followed guides to no avail
lotuspsychje, edit  /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf  and set allow_guest to false, and for fiding users see http://askubuntu.com/questions/92349/how-do-i-hide-a-particular-user-from-the-lightdm-login-screen
Wubu is a better idea for now, Laptop1.
It means that if you don't like it, you can uninstall it.
newroad: yes, that one :)
yeah it came out yesterday
i need ubuntu so bad it f'n hurts
Oerheks:tnx i tryed the hide-users trick, but username still show after reboot
can someone help me with a mypaint bug?
i am tired of this Windows shit already and the virus , what a scam
please someone help me get ubuntu 12.10 studio to work with compiz I would greatly appreciate it
alright guys, I'll try this x-swat one more time
Did you never really find the Downloads window, Laptop?
lets pray the world doesn't end again
hmm, how come x-swat is still on 304?
I was wondering if anyone can help me with a problem. I am running paralells , I was able to boot into my ubuntu install but now it boots up and goes black ( guessing its  display problem ) I was wondering if someone can help me with how to boot to CLI or anything else I can try
thanks
will be back on Ubuntu soon I hope. It is now ready to reboot. I hope this works
ty Chaos7
can someone help me with a mypaint bug
The only problem with wubu I think is performance deg--He left @_@
Helo
Ben64, because the 310 series just became "stable" most likely
hmmm
I see on one site they mention this: sudo apt-add-repository ppa:noobslab/nvidia-quantal
can someone please help me with get compiz working on ubuntu 12.10 i have nvidia drivers and compiz isntalled but no cube :/
http://www.noobslab.com/2012/10/install-latest-nvidia-drivers-in-ubuntu.htmlhttp://www.noobslab.com/2012/10/install-latest-nvidia-drivers-in-ubuntu.html
Ben64: I'd guess x-swat will pop up to 310 any day now :)
http://www.noobslab.com/2012/10/install-latest-nvidia-drivers-in-ubuntu.html
bkc_: yeah probably
should i try this noobslab version?
newroad: i'd use x-swat or xorg-edgers if I were you
I use swat myself
can someone help me fix a bug from mypaint
anyone know how to fix the ubuntu 12.10 live cd booting to a black screen with a mouse pointer? i've tried searching myself and i keep finding people having problems after installing it, but i can't even get the live cd to boot properly
Ben64: we (as in *rchLinux, not sure it that word was banned previously or not ^.^) got 310 just a few days ago so :)
but Ben, my device isn't supported
as stabil that is ...
newroad: well xorg-edgers have 310
newroad: it will be in a few days :)
well i need this for my job..
:(

veryangry: probably not, this is ubuntu support
lol
I am using Parallels to boot to ubuntu but I think I am having display issues..  Can anyone provide me maybe either hot key to boot to CLI or any help to get at least into the guest OS to grab some files
side questions, anyone ever hear of an ubuntu issue where a user constantly has http requests failing on all browsers and in apt-get requests, across both LAN and wifi?
hello,
extras.ubuntu.com is down now?
arp-, its constantly doing that, just remove it from the list..
for natty
os1ris: if you have grub you can choose the "Recovery Console"
Oerheks:tnx lemme try that one, i tryed hide users at bottom of list, lemme try put it in correct order
brb

anyone?
ben - no i don't even seen the recovery console
os1ris: try holding shift when starting up
what if lubuntu livecd doesn't automatically configure interent connection?
anyone?
at least look?
veryangry: you should contact the developers of that software
I can't get logged in
what year was gnu announced?
1983?
gmachine_24:how can wicd be started at log-on. from the startup applications? What is the command I need to add there?
shift did not work either =[
os1ris: press shift more and faster
Oerheks:it worked, but its bit buggy..first time it freezes login screen into purple boot after reboot it works
lotuspsychje, nice :)
argh! I want to cross-compile for a 32bit machine, where do I get the compiler?
now you have a clean mean ubuntu-machine

veryangry, file a bugreport
im trying OerHeks
Oerheks:but it always mess up first boot to purple..need always reboot the frist time..i gues ubuntu doesnt like messing around with lightdm
side questions, anyone ever hear of an ubuntu issue where a user constantly has http requests failing on all browsers and in apt-get requests, across both LAN and wifi?
newroad: dns problem ? check /etc/resolv.conf
lotuspsychje, full reboot is needed, i guess. or the first full reboot messed up too ?
Oerheks:yes first boot is always messed up and freezes my purple screen (without login)
it just says nameserver 127.0.1.1
lotuspsychje, now remote, does that still appear?
change to 8.8.8.8?
Oerheks:i think lightdm doesnt like anything else then the default login
Oerheks: yes guest and remote still show
newroad: and how about "pidof nscd" as root ?
why does the display tool only let me select one screen before refusing to accept any more of my clicks?
lotuspsychje, for remote i cannot find an answer yet
Oerheks:when i remove greeter-hide-users=true it boots normal again without freezes
and when it does that, it only lets me move the monitor to places I don't want it to go, like several monitor heights above or below the others.
Oerheks:i know howto hide remote and guest
Oerheks:but i need this purple screen freeze away
OerHeks:this is what my lightdm.conf looks like: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1366895/
fuuuuuuuuuuuucccccccccccking shit
my unity is trashed once again
Ben64, I used swat-x and now my unity is gone
and drivers aren't loading again
lotuspsychje, i cant find documentation, so try to turn around > greeter-hide-users=true >> greeter-show-user=false ?
OerHeks:tnx for help ill tweak around till i find the right one :p
how do you fix a bad zip file?
So using xrandr to fix 1920x1080 (using cvt modeline) the screen is squished horiszontally about 15%, anyone happen to know why off hand?
newroad, do you have an optimus laptop?  that could certainly be the cause of such issues
bkc_: sudo killall -s 9 X doesn't seem to find a process
hallo
vivid: yes I do, what can you tell me about that?
does anyone know how i can open a folder as root
newroad, not much, but i can tell you that the nvidia driver by itself likely wont work.  youll need to use bumblebee
newroad: if X is started then it should be there... unless ubuntu moved to wayland :P
newroad, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bumblebee
thanks vivs, great guess :)
its fakeroot isnt it
or somthing
newroad, and since its support, you should have little trouble getting it working well on 12.10
supported*
hallo
anyone
Guest12154, use 'gksudo nautilus"
thatl give me root access
and if it aint nautilus
D:
what's the lightest version of ubuntu?
rhineheart_m, the install from mini.iso
I only have 128 MB of ram here. P4 2.1 ghz
rhineheart_m, for desktop probably lubuntu
Server :D
can someone at least look at the error
im using thunar
desktop.. although the use of it is purely for browsing
http://pastebin.com/yJre8XqB
rhineheart_m, 128 mb is too small for the lightest ubuntu > lubuntu
and no i cant get it its a live cd
rhineheart_m, probably lubuntu, maybe xubuntu.  your choice
and you can't put everything in the ram like me
thunar? mm.. is it possible to have a tree view for the folders and files in thunar?
:)
Greetings!  :)
:( ... so this means.. I can't install lubuntu in 128 mb ram
hi carrera ~
I don't know how to fix a bad zip file when my file isnt a zip file its an ora
rhineheart_m, sure you can.  just be sure you give yourself some swap space
hi rhineheart_m
rhineheart_m, you should upgrade your ram.  old sdram like that is practically free
so technically 256 mb of swap?
Guest12154, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SystemRequirements#Lightweight_GUI_alternative_.28Xubuntu_and_Lubuntu.29
what's the best way to install a package residing on the local disk,  dpkg -i or is there an apt-get equivalent?
my linux distro run the whole system in the ram and it has persistence features
rhineheart_m, i would give at least 1 GB of swap.
ok. I thought it's going to be 2x of the actual ram.
carrera, dpkg -i is the correct way to do so.
based on the link.. it's 512 mb.. as the minimum for xubuntu or lubuntu
That's an old school rule of thumb that usually doesn't apply these days
yeah, its a rule of thumb that is useful for suspending laptops i think
That would make sense
I know I wouldn't want to dedicate a TB HD to a server :P
though, 1 GB would be sufficient, its never bad to have too much ram
if xp can run smoothly in 256 mb...why not ubuntu? just a thought :)
To swap*
yeah i would give this system 16gb of swap..lol
I roll 256mb page file on my Windows box lol
rhineheart_m, xp was released 11 years ago....ubuntu was released last month
vivid: come here, i'm going to give you a kiss
anyone?
http://pastebin.com/yJre8XqB
i don't use swap file at cause of the speed
newroad, youre welcome, if you wish to file some complaints, i believe theres a discussion about optimus going on in the linux kernel mailing list right now
vivid, ok..to make it fair.. what's the version of lubuntu that can still run smoothly in 128mb?
ok oerheks
listen up
rhineheart_m, /shrug probably none of them
bumblebee seems to have solved everything
to get root access for thunar
type the following
gksudo thunar
ok
whats the command to purge remove zeitgeist completly again?
so the next time someone has a problem like that
you know
Guest12154, that would be obvious, if you don't use nautilus
true it would
actually.. just trying to make those old pcs usable.. than to buy licenses (ms) which  is actually more than the price of the pc :)
but i asked you and you said go here and leave me alone
basicly
rhineheart_m, just give it swap and it will be usable...not fast, but usable
is there anything wrong with NVIDIA drivers in version 12.10 x64 ?
instead of the obvious
MrPiracy, not that ive seen
after upgrade from 12.04 to 12.10 a few weird things started happening
anyway thanx for the help atleast
thanks anyway guys. :) will give lubuntu a try though
rhineheart_m, good luck
which is lighter? xubuntu or lubuntu?
thank you vivid
i would say lubuntu
if i use Nouveau, everything seems to be fine, but if I change to nvidia-current, I have a different desktop every 2 boots
+1 lubuntu
you only need 256mb to boot the live cd
xubuntu im not sure
MrPiracy, what do you mean you have a "different desktop"
Maybe switching to 2d?
MrPiracy: I like your nick.. reminds me of MS products
okay, now i've switched to the xfce wm. but now when i use the mouse wheel on an unfocused window it receives the focus. is there a setting to change this?
Hey Guys!!
vivid, the login screen says 12.04 instead of 12.10 and all my desktop icons are gone, everything comes back to normal if i simply reboot
rhineheart_m, ty, that was the purpose ;)
i've looked through the window manager settings. but the best i've found is "Raise on click". with this setting deactivated at least the window won't be raised when i scroll it.
what version are you using? :) MrPiracy
rhineheart_m, i just upgraded from 12.04 to 12.10 64bits
howto completly remove zeitgeist (purge)?
rhineheart_m, when the computer is starting, i see the graphic screen, but some text are added to it saying something about kvm being disabled
MrPiracy: its recommended to clean install instead of upgrade
rhineheart_m, and when shutting down, it says killing all processes fail
is it worth it to install ubuntu 64bits if I have the 32bit version on a 64 bit machine? it works fine
lotuspsychje, i know ... it's been a while I don't use ubuntu, so i was hoping upgrade was working flawlessly
MrPiracy: i had same few issues on upgrade, so clean installed works flawless
ix_: ubuntu64 is def worth installing
lotuspsychje, ok, thanks, maybe I will do that
oh, i just found the setting i needed. it is in "Window Manager Tweaks" > "Accessibility". strange place for this setting.
lotuspsychje, I wanted a minimal install anyway
lotuspsychje, as far as i remember, i had this very same issue when upgrading gutsy gibbon years ago
:(
I have a Thunderbird where the menus are broken. I have removed and reinstalled but it is still broken. How can I completely remove then start again?
MrPiracy: i know upgrading always got hardon settings to new system..
and the description of the settings is even wrong.
MrPiracy:so these days i always clean install
lotuspsychje, yeah, i think i will end up doing it
lotuspsychje, do you happen to know if 12.10 install will let me install grub2 to partition instead of mbr without any extra tweaks?
MrPiracy: i think default clean install will install grub2 on first section of your hd
MrPiracy: no
MrPiracy:but you can manually partition and choose this grub2 on first of your hd
lotuspsychje, bkc_, yes, ubuntu will kill my mbr ... i like to use chameleon instead of grub as my boot loader (cosmetic reasons)
i'm guessing clean install will be easier :(
anyways ... thanks
So I think cvt is giving me info for the wrong horizontal refresh, I have the correct rates is there a way to derive the mode numbers?

make it again this time use Linux Live USB creator (also did you verify the ISO's MD5 sum?)
you can download java from oracle
I want to update from the terminal
can I blacklist a module at install time?
then you will need to find a PPA that supplies the most up to date version
Asar, can be done would you like the commands?
please shantorn
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install update
sorry
I've got 100 updates waiting for me there... I'm trying to just do Java
the goon squad is after me
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
apt-get install (package) to update single package
thanks guys... have a good one
Where can I go to get help with a Thunderbird problem on Ubuntu?
I didnt ask to ask I was trying to find where to go to ask the question.
I have been trying to fix a broken Thunderbird for 3 days and have not had any response
That is patience!
why does this command http://paste.ubuntu.com/1366951/ uninstall the gnome-session?

CIAO
are some older desktops just not able to boot from usb? and will a bios upgrade alleviate this
I know some older desktops are not able to boot from USB at all.  I am not sure about the BIOS upgrade.  Apologies if I am interrupting
userz: they will be very old desktops. boot from usb has been around for 7 or 8 years i would think
maybe found a solution...http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/16822/boot-from-a-usb-drive-even-if-your-bios-wont-let-you/
userz: bios upgrade would not fix this
userZ, i'm guessing you already looked for a bios setting to set the USB at the front of the boot order
does anyone know how to make a bootable usb stick to install ubuntu for a uefi system? unetbootin and pendrivelinux don't work it just brings me to a grub prompt
gunarm2, yes did that no option
Hi, I was having some issues with compiz so I reseted the settings to default using ccsm and now unity is broken... I tried restoring the compiz settings files(~/.config/compiz-1 and ~/.gconf/apps/compiz-1 and .gconf/apps/compizconfig-1). I tried re-enabling the unity plugin. Nothing has worked
is there anyway I can reset unity?
SushiDude: Well, unity --reset, but I'm not sure it resets the compiz settings as well
unity --reset does not work in 12.10
they removed it
Oh, I see
Then I dunno
userZ: to get around not being to boot from usb, you can download 'ploop' and burn the image to a bootable cd, set cd-rom to boot first and let ploop load. Then select USB from the menu, if you have a bootable USB drive plugged in it should boot
*being able to
I don't want to have to do a full restore because then I will lose everything I did today
but I don
sudoecho: It's "plop".
but I don't know where compiz stores all of its settings
SushiDude: Well you could go to extremes and remove ~/.gconf and ~/.config altogether
SushiDude: But that may affect other apps (reset their settings)
theadmin: oh right. userZ, download plop... forget ploop... not sure where I got the extra o.
theadmin, I am not going to remove those...
SushiDude: Alright then I'm out of ideas
SushiDude: Try: dconf reset -f /org/compiz/
SushiDude: After which restart Unity: setsid unity
yea thanks, plop looks like the solution
im having problems with upload packages in ppa, anyon around that can help with it?
simplew: You don't upload packages, you push your bazaar branch and let Launchpad build the packages
theadmin, dconf seems to have a lack of documentation, what does the "-f" option do?
I am assuming it forces the reset?
SushiDude: Not too sure. I found this by searching for "reset compiz ubuntu 12.10"
theadmin: exactly, the issue is that i did upload a package and then i deleted it, and now i have upload a new build with dput -f and it doesnt appear in my ppa
well I guess I can't mess this up any more, here we go...
So anyone good with xrandr and modelines?
theadmin: so why sint the package not appearing anymore when was uploaded with dput -f ?
simplew: Not too sure what that even is, I'm not much of a developer
theadmin: im trying to figure out why doesnt the package doesnt appear anymore in my ppa to be built
theadmin, that worked, thank you
theadmin: so this is a launchpad related problem
simplew: Hm. Might want to ask in #launchpad
SushiDude: Yay
theadmin: already did, no answer
simplew: Silly question but did you commit your modifications before pushing them?
theadmin: comit where?
I am having some problems in Parallels when booting into ubuntu.. I don't have grub.. Anyone know of hotkeys to enter any type of mode  for CLI or test display on boot ?

hi i need help
43 minutes
how much disk space do you have left ?
I am on Ubuntu server 12.04.1, you see... The font of the text is bolder and the color of everything is changed. For example, Blue becomes Cyan. Why?
is there a way to fix?
quintus, type "df -h"
did it just change by itself milo64 ?
rawfogog i did that now what
quintus, does it look like you are running out of space ?
rawfodog: i installed it once and i reinstalled it and after that, everything is bold and colors are different. it = ubuntu server
naah ive got about 208 gb of hardisk space left
Hello, how to force grub auto-configuration mechanizm to always use UUID for all detected linux systems?
oh nevermind it's working now D:
quitus, dont know what to tell ya. Did you try a different windows manager like mate ? maybe your videocard isnt up to snuff with unity
.........
milo64, how are you accessing your server ?
via ssh ?
rawfodog: i am on it now
quick question i keep hearing about custom wine wrappers i want to run kerbal space program in linux but my frame rates are low in wine any suggestions im not new to linux but very new to wine
rawfodog: ...
joshua342532453, try PLAYONLINUX. its a wine front end, there are preconfigured profiles for games
Orion78: In other words, you're having a problem right now that one of the other distributions you have installed is being detected by grub-mkconfig, and the entry that grub-mkcfonfig is creating is using device names rather than UUIDs, correct?
milo64, are you ssh in ?
I have a problem... Ubuntu reports my battery as 97% charged and it's not going up at all. It was 98% yesterday and before that it displayed 100% as it truly is
rawfodog: no.. I installed ubuntu server on a laptop... So, I am using it directly
milo64, sometimes different terminals have different color profiles. If you are connectting from another computer then the first time you saw the colors, there is a good chance this would be the reason.
joshua342532453: Install the video drivers from your video card manufacturer (use the "Additional Drivers" tool that comes with Ubuntu)
?
other then that, google how to change you color profiles
thradmin
im using intel integrated graphics
runs fine in windows
rawfodog: look, this is plain CLI, i have no x installed
milo64, I dont know what your problem is
oh my god
milo64, what's the output of "echo $PS1"?
joshua342532453 - I've joined mid conversation.  Which type of Intel integrated graphics are you using exactly?  On which version of Ubuntu?  And what problem are you having?
12.04 intel on a i3 dell inspiron 14r
And what problem are you having?
ksp runns choppy in wine like at half speed
What is ksp?
Also, we'll need a bit more specific info about your graphics - Can you please tell us the output of lspci -vvnn | grep "VGA Compatible"
scotty^: That won't output anything :P
scotty^: You want to grep for "VGA compatible"
With a lowercase "c", or just use "grep -i"
ah
thanks
memory corruption :)
Can't remember all those strings, I usually just search for "VGA"
Control: I/O+ Mem+ BusMaster+ SpecCycle- MemWINV- VGASnoop- ParErr- Stepping- SERR- FastB2B- DisINTx+
my Ubuntu is set up perfect, everything works how I want it too, I wish to keep it this way, Do you long time Linux users have a backup solution for the system? I do not mean Home but the root system and installed programs.
hmm
all linux games run fine
anonym, you mean a drive snapshot ?
its just with wine this one game
anonym: The downloaded packages for programs are stored in /var/cache/apt/archives/ if that tells you anything. Other than that you could just dd the drive
rawfodog, yeah, it I can pull back my system as it is now at will
joshua342532453, did you not try playonlinux ????
scotty^: what did you expect suggesting "-vvnn"?
joshua342532453: Sounds more like a wine problem to me
thtas what i was thinking
but according to all the furoms it runs fine in wine but im new to wine
so i really dont know what im doing
playonlinux comes with preconfigure wine profiles.Ive mentioned this 3 times. Download it and try that
joshua342532453: "runs fine in wine" can often be *very* hardware-specific
make sure to grab winetricks
will do thanks
i need a dvd burner, how cheap do they go $15?
ive got wine tricks
joshua342532453: Can work perfectly with one ATI card but fail with another, for instance
userZ: ##hardware
* rawfodog facepalms
joshua342532453: Generally, check #winehq for wine-releated questions
theadmin; yeah, but that wont help with a dead drive, what is DD the drive?
rawfodog: PlayOnLinux just gives you a nice menu to run your apps in wine, it won't increase the performance
anonym: dd if=/dev/sda of=something.img
Jordan_U: Yes, that is correct.
Jordan_U: Sorry, I was looking for an answer on the web right now.
llutz_ That same command gives me 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] nee ATI Radeon R350 [Radeon 9800 Pro] [1002:4e48] (prog-if 00 [VGA controller])
Orion78: The settings used in entries for other detected distributions are taken from that distribution's bootloader's configuration files, so if that distribution is configured to use UUID, the entry will have UUIDs (and if not, then not).
Ive had issues with playonlinux - wine really isnt that bad to figure out without PoL anyway
Jordan_U: I did not know that. So I should reboot, reconfigure other system and try again. Many thanks.
Orion78: Yes, that's the simplest solution.
Orion78: You're welcome.
Orion78: (You'll also need to go back into Ubuntu and run "sudo update-grub" to re-write the grub.cfg with the new settings).
hello, its 2:37 and stuck on a 12 hour CQ shift, good thing for irc i guess
12 hour ? Its amazing ....
military man, they could tell me 24 hour shift and it would not have supprised me much
Guest43432: isn't that, like, illegal? work shifts are supposed to be 8 hours long at most :/ Either way, this is an Ubuntu support channel. Ask away if you have any related questions, if not please check out #ubuntu-offtopic or #defocus
changed my nickname from Guest43432
Yes, IRC is great for such situations, bur lets keep on topic please.
theadmin: 8hrs? in what paradise^w country do you live? ;)
llutz_: Russia... I thought that was the same about all over the world right now? o_O
okay thanks, imma have to log out of #ubuntu though because irssi in terminal only lets me connect to one irc channel (or at least i cant figure out how to switch between them)
llutz_: I live in Finland :)
DarthEaron: Alt+arrows or Alt+window number
So...
dartearon, ctrl+p to switch
llutz_: there is 8 hour work shifts
thanks man, okay one more quick question, whats the slash command for messeging people
If I update Unity do I need to reboot?
query
DarthEaron: /msg or /query (depends if you want it to open a new window when the reply arrives or right away)
scotty^: You just say !unity, no need to put the ubottu's name there
scotty^: No, you won't need to reboot, just restart Unity or log out and back in
scotty^: the update manager tells you whether you need to reboot
scotty^, not really needed
If I update Unity do I need to reboot?
oops
sorry
updating via command-line here
just goes away from update manager told to you ....
theadmin - sudo unity - restart
?
scotty^: No need for sudo, just "setsid unity"
thanks
Whoah!
Everything came back though :)
except window positions
Ah yes, the window manager restart may cause unexpected shuffling, sorry about that
np
got a lot of errors on the console when I did that, but they are mostly about gestures and this is a desktop system without a touchscreen or trackpad so it's probably OK.
so updating & upgrading did not update nor upgrade java

how do i stop ubuntu from updating certain packages
How Stop Software update in ubuntu Parmanently?

no i just wanna stop 2 packages from updating there xorg
where locate ubuntu head office?

kathirvel: canonical has a head office though.
mm.. is there a way to cancel a scroll action?
unfortunately i'm not able to find an answer.
In terminal?
when i click on the knob of a scrollbar and drag it. but then i want to return to the original position.
Thanks for reply... RamchandraApte?
language
i can remember in windows it was (probably still is) possible to cancel the scroll by dragging the mouse cursor away from the scroll bar.
very: Interesting - Have never had a problem with that
kathirvel: I am indian
Happy
RamchandraApte
kathirvel: happy diwali?
I am very happy to hear this 'Indian'
Are you know tamil/
?
kathirvel: my mother is tamil; but I don't know tamil
Bl4cklisted: mm.. you mean you never needed this feature? sometimes i just want to scroll to a different position just for a short while to look something up. but then i want to return immediately without having to search for the original position.
I am a rationalist and periyarist,
so i am not celeberate diwali.
very: In those cases I end up using Find (usually Ctrl+f) or PgUp/Dwn instead of the scrollbar
kathirvel: I am am tamil-mahastrian
yes?
so since i'm using ubuntu i always think twice before looking something up. and i make mental notes about how to find the original position.
kathirvel: please PM me
usually this is a problem on very long web pages.
very: There's got to be a way
when i search for "cancel scroll" on google i only get results for "disable overlay scrollbars".
hi everyone, how do i remove a package without removing its' dependencies?
or rather purge
naftilos76: apt-get remove [x]?
sudo dpkg --purge --nodeps pkg_name ?
no that is remove WITH deps
hello , i got a weak signal on my realtek 8187 wireless. i thought of manually installing the drivers from realtek . i saw on their website that the drivers are for kernels Linux driver for Kernel 3.0.0/3.1.0/3.2.0
i have a kernel version 3.5 , would that be a problem ?
naftilos76: Ah my bad - currently not in *buntu
naftilos76: only if the deps aren't needed for any other package, but why keeping them?
i installed some pkgs while i shouldn't and now i have to get rid of them but they ask for many pkgs to be removed with them and that is wrong
naftilos76  you want to keep orphaned dependencies?
can I get some basic help?
UniLab  if you're sweet
they are not orphaned
UniLab: If you give out candies
:P I just want to know how to properly dual-boot Ubuntu 12.10 with Windows 8 Pro
I wanta candies
it is weird but i mixed up things a little bit
I have 8 installed currently
UniLab: a few options
Windows 8? /backs up slowly
yes Windows 8, and I want to install Ubuntu alongside
UniLab:  I am sorry you downgraded to win8, but you could try the Wubi installer or just run a liveCD and install alongside during the install GUI process
UniLab  is this link useful http://www.intowindows.com/dual-boot-windows-8-and-ubuntu/
UniLab: Or that^
:/ I am going to try dualbooting it in a virtual machine first, if I succeed, I will try IRL
UniLab: Ubuntu has the "install side-by-side" option during install - A VM will not display that option since it would not detect another OS
UniLab: http://cloud.intowindows.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/Dual-Boot-Windows-8-And-Ubuntu-Step12_thumb.jpg
bl4cklisted, i am going to install 8 in the VM first and then proceed to installing ubuntu
since i seem to have my scrollbar problem with web pages only i think i'm going to use a work around. i will just append a # in the location bar and therefore create a history entry for the original position.
UniLab: just as long as you do win8 first, I should go fine
UniLab: It should go fine*
i know, microsoft is a b!tch and ditches linux
UniLab: otherwise, youd have to rebuild grub, and that is not fun
hi! Can anyone help me with rules file? http://pastebin.com/Hp4hG3Wt
8 is installing in VM
also, does the "alongside" option create new partition?
UniLab: Yes. Just for Ubuntu
UniLab: Windows will not see it, but Linux will see the Windows partition when youre using Ubuntu
if you have 2 partitions, can you choose that which partition will be shrinked? Cause my C: is already small enough
UniLab: So for files you need on both OSs, save them on the Windows partition
UniLab: That may be an issue. You may need to use gparted
or "Something Else" ?
Anyone who know how to write rules for deb package??? I have a problem with GNU Make. I marked build target as phony.. but it didn't help.. wtf?http://pastebin.com/Hp4hG3Wt
I'm talking about build target
Besogon: Sry I dont know much about that
UniLab: "Something else" would be something similar to gparted when youd be able to modify the partitions yourself
UniLab: where youd*
oh.. my fault
bl4ck, so I can do it like this > http://bit.ly/U7PYuq
Besogon: this is my first time in here lol
there is 1st, 2nd and 3rd image
UniLab: If youre still on that page, the three images under "Step 9"
yes. that is what the bit.ly links to
an imgur album with these 3 pictures
UniLab: The "NTFS" type will be your Windows partition
i just wanted to make the link short and not to post 3 long links
I know
why is windows 8 such a b!tch ?!
UniLab: You should be able to shrink and resize partitions from there
UniLab: Because its Windows
tbh, I always used linux just in VMware and all the virt. SW but I am still amazed by it and want to have it non-virtually
it works much better running for real
UniLab: Otherwise, you may need to just use a Ubuntu LiveCD with gparted and shrink and resize partitions from there - I dont remember if its in there by default since I havent used ubuntu in a year or so
Hi, i have a Lenovo y570 that I installed Ubuntu 12 64 bit, all was working ok but suddenly now the battery cant charge more than 48%, any idea ?
weeee i figured out how to lock a package
bl4ck, I will just shrink my D partition in Windows and then I'll boot into the LiveCD and divide it into Swap and Ubuntu
UniLab: Are you on a laptop?
yes
UniLab: Ah now its making more sense
UniLab: Okay so your C: is likely your manufacturers reset and your D: is Windoze
Aloha folks...
Hello
nonono, my C: is Windoze and D: is just all personal data
UniLab: Ah
For some reason I cannot play an audio cd...ubuntu is viewing it as a blank cd
UniLab: How large are each?
antonio_: What audio software do you have installed?
bl4cklisted: I have a few audio editing programs
hello
C is 50 nad D is 395
*and
do you know a regex-coach's equivalent for ubuntu ?
UniLab: Yikes - Id take some from D: if possible
bl4cklisted: I don't see how audio software will prevent the cdrom from loading audio...or even showing that its a blank cd
yeah, I used to have dualboot 7 and 8 , 8 was running on a now non-existing G: which was a new 50GB partition created from D
antonio_: You may need to try downloading a program that plays audio like Audacious or Brasero and it may downlad the required deps along with it
watussi  http://linux.softpedia.com/get/Text-Editing-Processing/Others/The-Regex-Coach-9029.shtml
antonio_: but come to think of it, I cant remember the last time Ive played a CD in Ubuntu
Mongolski: thank you ! did you try it ?
UniLab: If youre really uncomfortable, the Disk Manager in windows should be able to partiton for you, but it will not be able to set up the required filesystem
the software could be looking for the device at /dev/cdrom but /dev/cdrom is actually a link to the real device.. sometimes that link is incorrect
watussi  guess it's me you're addressing and no, i haven't
I know! I said that I will just shrink it in Windows but then I'll divide it into swap and ubuntu system in LiveCD
Buenos dias
$ ls -l /dev/cd*
shows i have a /dev/cdrom1 here.. but not a /dev/cdrom   which is a little weird.
this is annoying
MonkeyDust: yes, sorry for mistake ^^
antonio_: Are you able to find the cd in nautilus at least?
yeah
its showing up as a blank disc...and its not
antonio_: any files in it or does it appear empty?
antonio_: I see
antonio_:  this is an Audio/Music cd? You dont mount those, or see files on them normally. Unless you are using some tool/plugin for the file managers that sort of uses a virtual filesystem on them to show the music as mp3 or other data
dr_willis: its showing the cd as totally blank
but is it an AUDIO cd?
yes
You cant mount an audio CD.
you DONT mount those. you normally will see them as blank because its not got a normal filesystem on it.
dr_willis: there is actually 'cdfs' that allows mounting and auto-ripping audio CDs, but it always been little used
walex:  yea. theres some other tools like that ive seen for KDE and I think one for nautilus also
antonio_: the problem with audio CDs is that they can be ripped in many different ways, and they are not written in data made, but in a different mode.
antonio_  you need ext4 or ntfs or so on the cd, if you want to mount it - an audio cd does not have that
antonio_: so they cannot be read like data CDs, they have to be auto-ripped.
antonio_: Try http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=766683
hunnybunny
MonkeyDust: it is not the filesystem/not filesystem issue, audio CDs have a structure that can be interpreted as a filesystem if one wants. It is that they are not written in data mode, but in audio mode.
yes xnter?
and there are many different ways to read audio mode, so CD ripping programs differ very much on that, and embedding a specific ripping method in a filesystem driver in the kernel is a bad idea.
monkeydust: I can't even listen to an audio cd on my computer then?
antonio_: Try installing Banshee
antonio_: You can listen to an audio CD, but you cannot mount it.
xnter what is it?
antonio_:  determine what device the thing is /dev/sr0 most likely, and you just tell the player to play /dev/sr0 . Its possible the apps are using /dev/cdrom which MAY BE WRONG.
HunnyBunny: He is gone already.
antonio_  audacious is a nice audioplayer
okay weird... since i dont know him and i never ever talked here x)
MonkeyDust: Yeah probably my fave
Hi, how to upgrade kernel via terminal? when I enter 'sudo apt-get upgrade' the new kernel does not appear among other packages, but when I check graphical Update Manager the new kernel is there.
antonio_: you can listen to it via your computer, but in its native audio mode that happens in analogue way.
what?
hi
u1204: sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
list
antonio_: that is, you *play* the audio CD, the CD drive decodes the tracks and emits sounds signals on its analogue outputs.
walex: CD audio is digital, btw.
walex: its not even doing that
but will it upgrade the whole system from 12.04 to 12.10?
u1204: No.
ok, I'll try, thanks
is anyone able to tell me how to configure pulseaudio to use spdif properly? it is working fine with ALSA
antonio_: usually each CD drive has one analogue output socket on the front, for plugging in headphone, and an analogue output on the back for putting in a cable leading to your sound card.
walex: Thats the _output_. CD audio still is digital. :)
QUESTION: is there any text based User interface like KDE? That will run only on tty?
antonio_: when you tell the CD drive to play the CD, if the CD drive is connected to your soundcard, you need to enable the "CD-in" channel of your soundcard. Or else plug in headphones in the front docket.
walex: when I put the cd-in it doesn't play any kind of music...it shows it as a totally blank cd
antonio_: alternatively, you can use a computer-based CD player that rips the track from the CD and puts them on disk and then plays those files.
kareti: The usual shell is what you are looking for then.
hey ya, insects, hehe...
antonio_: you are not using a CD-drive player.
antonio_:  you dont use the file manager to access the cd.. it WILL be blank... thats normal..
vlc /dev/sr0     (i think) should start playing the thing
antonio_: perhaps this needs saying many times: CD disks can come in several different and incompatible formats, and CD-audio format is incompatible with CD-data format, and you cannot use the tools used to access CD-data disks for CD-audio disks.
bekks: I wish there would be a KDE like environment that is just based on text.  like programs running on ncurses.  i woud like to have every application to be on shell.. Just an idea. is there any such?
kareti: TWIN.
kareti: Just use "screen", which offers you the ability to open as much shells as you want.
kareti, maybe you want develope de likes them :d
antonio_: the tools for CD-audio disks allow you to do one of two things: play tracks via the CD-drive itself, not the computer it is attached to, or rip the tracks to a file on the computer.
i'm able to start once a freshly installed ubuntu 12.10
any ideas?
jj99: Just remove the CD, and reboot.
ehm?
anyways i did remove the cd :D
hi, i have a pc where i tried to install nouveau driver after that i tried to install nvidia driver without be succesful... now when i turn on the pc i get this screen http://tinypic.com/r/2ik4fgj/6   anyone can help me please?? :)
jj99: You asked how to boot your computer after installing it.
hey, guys are there any community apps development i can join, with little programming experience?
bekks nah, i asked if anyone has an idea why i can start a freshly installed 12.10 once
bingo_ you have two DM?
jj99 what do you mean start it once
bekks, can I dualboot Ubuntu and Windows 8 like this : Windows 8 already installed and a bit of unallocated space prepared, boot livecd of ubuntu, choose "something else", divide unallocated space into swap and partition for ubuntu and the install?
jalil, maybe you need more spesific languages, there are #pyhton oe ##c
or
*and then install
UniLab: Sure, why not?
blackshirt: but do they develop for ubuntu specifically?
UniLab: Sounds about right
ok, I am just kinda afraid cause Windows 8 brought the amazing crappy bootloader that half of time isn't detected by grub >.>
jalil: Using a programming language, it doesnt matter whom you are developing for.
jalil, maybe you need more spesific languages, there are #pyhton oe ##c
sorry working out kinks
bekks: really? how about old billy's vb?
jalil  vb in linux?
microsoft is really cheap nowadays >.> they even put non-antialiased font in their setup process, it looks pixely like setup of DOS...
bekks: or delphi? I doubt that...
There was Delphi for Linux at one time
jalil, use gambas...they mimics vb'
ahem, aliased corners on 12.10.
makes me sad.
this is the output I get when I run vlc  /dev/sr0  http://pastebin.com/VxLs3tnS
jalil: delphi is dead and buried, besides the fact that Delphi for Linux existed.
sliker, better to have corners than whole UI...
I rember when Delphi for Linux was big news :) egads i am old.
tru dat
MonkeyDust: yeah, ridiculous right?
jalil: So which programming language are you interested in, besides writing M$ Office macros?
fu** off M$, the Windows 8 in VM is sitting @ the Almost Ready screen for 20 minutes...
jeez, I need it just for testing purposes...
well thats just not right
Win8 is quick to boot
bekks: Probably pascal
bekks: the point wasn't which language I'd like to use... the point was which app development teams to join...
nv: hes installing it
bekks:  mIRC scripting. ;)
Almost Ready screen doesnt take 20 minute
nv, as soon as I did b!tch about how long does it take, it was on the start screen
jalil  some 30 people in #ubuntu-app-devel -- you may have to register first
dr_willis: this is the output I get when I run vlc  /dev/sr0  http://pastebin.com/VxLs3tnS
hi
also when I run the command sudo lshw -C disk I get the following output http://pastebin.com/BWbHKZQp
jalil: Well, your choice of the team strongly depends on what you want to develop, and on which language do you want to use.
jalil: So it heavily matters.
bekks: well, I agree...
antonio_:  try some other media players. have them try to play /dev/sr0 directly
anyone tried running android emulator or other java dev tools in an ubuntu vm?
that an viable option?
hy
hi to all any one has experience with using openvpn
evry time i connect with openvpn to server I can not access my ssh
service on ubuntu
Does ubuntu 12.10 support wireless nic BCM94312?. If it does not where do I get the driver .?
antonio_: try 'sudo apt-get install cdtool; cdinfo; cdplay'
oldman: BCM94312 or BCM4312?
bekks. Itis probably BCM 4312. AS listed in lspci.
hello guys, do somebody ever tried to repair windows from linux?
joey_:  depending on whats broke.. its doable
joey_: All the time
well i had tried a restauration from windows, being in dual boot with linux
walex: its returning with no_disc
joey_: but as dr_willis has said, it depends on what the problem is
but since then, windows is not bootable anymore
joey_: Youll need to repair grub
cant get Lubuntu or Kubuntu to auto internet connect...card is  Realtek RTL8201N..any suggestions?
bekks: Thanks
joey_:  that 'system rescue' live cd may be handy. or #windows may suggest other tools to try
i installed linux again to obtain a new clean version of grub
joey_:  Ive used this a few times without any problems https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair
joey_: It is not necessary to reinstall the whole OS to accomplish that.
antonio_: try again with 'cdinfo -d /dev/cdrom'
well grub is ok to launch ubuntu
but my windows need a repair,
walex: no_disc
antonio_: or better 'sudo cdinfo -d /dev/cdrom' just in case
and i have no disc
joey_: But it is not necessary to reinstall Ubuntu for reinstalling grub.
joey_: Well, without having a disc, there is no way.
joey_: It checks for other OSs during repair and adds them to grub
is it possible to find something to burn?
joey_:  there are legal ways to get a win7 iso/recovery cd. i recall some links to such sources on lifehacker a few months back
joey_: Thats illegal, basically.
antonio_: also 'sudo cdinfo -d /dev/sr0' 'sudo cdinfo -d /dev/sr0'
lol
 #windows may know specifics.. it was a minimal windows iso from MS that was used for repairing. not reinstalling
illegal or legal =p
joey_: It does matter.
walex: cdinfo: can't open cdrom (/dev/sr): No such file or directory
it was said to be LEGAL from what i recall. it was a tool/iso from MS
antonio_: /dev/sr0 instead of /dev/sr
so its foundable on ms website
antonio_: also 'sudo cdinfo -d /dev/sr0' 'sudo cdinfo -d /dev/scd0'
blahhh im seriously considering going back to 12.04
I have a question. is ubuntu 12.04 still supported. I was just asked for a partial upgrade and I accepted at first but then it crashed when I had a program installing in sudo. So began updates again and the partial upgrade was gone. Only updates. So I'm wandering what the hell that is about
joey_:  i found mention of it on the lifehacker web site. the #windows channel should know more
walex: no_disc
mando_: Yes, 12.04 is still supported.
antonio_: if all of these fail, your audio CD is not readable or is indeed missing.
mando_, for five years, so yes
ow okk (sorry first hour on irc)
walex: its definitely readable...its been played earlier on an actual cd player
well thanks all i try to ask on their channel
thank god for that. But why the hell was I asked for a partial upgrade then dissappeared?
antonio_: it may readable only on a CD player, there are copy protection schemes that achieve that.
antonio_: try again with 'cdplay' instead of 'cdinfo', just in case
no_disc
antonio_: also check the light on the CD drive door, if it cannot read a disk there is usually a distinctive flashing pattern.
antonio_: or try 'sudo cdeject -d /dev/cdrom' and then inserting it again.
walex: it flashes when I first put the cd in...
guys, is 1GB partition enough as swap for ubuntu
that ejects it
UniLab, enough for swap, maybe not enough for hybernate/sleep
what size is recommended?
UniLab, let the installer calculate.
UniLab  about your RAM size, preferrably a bit more
or what OerHeks says
?
they want you to use 50% more than how much RAM you have
MonkeyDust +1 indeed more for hybernate/sleep
UniLab, the size of whatever ram you are using . like  monkeydust said
I need to do "Something Else" while installing so I need a recommended size
UniLab, 2X or 1X ur RAM should do
i dont use swap at all unless the comp has less than 2 gigs RAM
my RAM is 4GB, can I give it 5GB?
ok I'm restarting my comp. May or may not com back debating if unity is good for my nephews desktop or I go with linux mint mate
chow
yeah
that's silly
at least set up a swap file
if you don't want to waste a partition
walex: anything else?
?
waste a partition?
UniLab: For swap, usually 2GB is enough
so what should I do?
antonio_: i am trying it here and 'cdplay' etc. works... But no sound output
hi... I have a network problem ... I a network on 10.0.0.0/24 and a VPN on 10.7.0.0/24 ... the VM handling the creation of the VPN is working correctly and can ping the VPN client ... how do arrange for any VPN traffic on the 10.0.0.0/24 network to be put on the VPN network?
antonio_: probably because of pulseaudio, so looking at it.
creat a static route?
ok, I have 4GB of RAM, if that is important
just installed Ubuntu 12.04 LTS on a new Lenovo 581.  Am unable to setup LAN and WLAN and am suspecting it's a case of drivers.  LAN is Atheros AR8161/8165 and WLAN is Broadcom 802.11n.  Tried google but to no avail.  Any help herein?
right now I have 60GB of unallocated space, my laptop has 4GB of RAM, how much for swap?
2GB?
UniLab:  5gb should be plenty
xrs1: some people don't want to create a separate partition for swap
so you can just use a file on your root partition
marvindoppelt: try DLing those device drivers on a different machine onto a usb and install them that way
2 gb will be plenty. but wont let you do that hibernate/suspend stuff. (whichi never use anyway)
thats what i was saying. i dont have swap at all
antonio_: I think laptop CD drives no longer have analog outputs...
well, I do use hibernate/sleep, so 5GB of swap?
UniLab: That is plenty
UniLab:  5gb then would be a good idea.. of course you are assuming that hibernate/sleep will work. ;)
antonio_: and in any case my laptop's audio card has no analog input other than the microphone, so no input from the cd drive.
It doesnt always lol
UniLab: you could also try swaps or something :P
suspend usually isnt an issue. hibernate is retarded
cnf no, swap partition is a different partition type
^
well, 90% of time I just sleep/hibernate instead of shutdown
cnf, so .. no
UniLab: swapd, not swaps
OerHeks: no what?
this is super frustrating
UniLab:  some times the sleep stuff dosent work on linux - it depends on the hardware a lot.
so 5GB of swap or 2GB of swap or what?! everybody says something else
UniLab: ideally 5
cnf, don't try to be smart, just corrected your mistake.
UniLab:  we clearly said.. 2gb  = no sleep.. 5gb for sleep.. you said you wanted sleep....
OerHeks: you didn't correct anything
UniLab: 2GB is what is ually used, 5GB is enough if youre looking to suspend and hibernate
OerHeks: you are being vague
OerHeks: be specific, or be quiet
yea hibernate.. ;) not sleep. ;P
ok
the official answer is 50% more than how much RAM is in the box. that makes it 6GB. that is overkill. 5GB will suffice without wasting space
too many variations on the  term/idea/methods.
thanks folks...night
http://techreport.com/r.x/gigabyte-iram/card.jpg and make the whole thing a moot point :P
cnf then do not give wrong information, that is all, read back, my sentence is clear: swap has a different partitiontype.
OerHeks: your answer isn't clear at all
OerHeks: i know it has a different partition type, so bloody what?
lol thats what SSDs looked like back in the day. DONT YOU DARE TRIP OVER THAT POWER CORD!
OerHeks: how does that matter _at all_ to what i said?
xrs1: thing in the back is a battery pack
I like PERC 6e cause it has a RAM slot
ok I ran into a few problems. My nephews computer is an older dell with a single pentium 4 with a 1 gig of ram and a 256 mbs nvidia card. I honestly thought it could take unity but I am experiencing all sorts of lag and I can't do snap windows. Would mints mate be a better choice for this pc. Hell lxde is laggy running ubuntu :(
mando_: Yikes - may consider running a lighter OS
mmh how to find a french channel?
joey_: /msg alis list *-fr*
mando_: Though it may be a vid driver issue
Bl4cklisted, mint seems like a better choice
mando_: I like mint a lot myself - currently on Arch
mando_: Ubuntu has gotten rather bloated as of late
Bl4cklisted, lemme give it a try and may you'll earn yourself a beer
lxde running ubuntu? You mean unity on lxde? or the lxde desktop is laggy?
OerHeks: so next time, either have something specific to say, or just stay quiet
cnf, thats enough
Bl4cklisted, lets stay on topic with Ubuntu support only
Bl4cklisted, thank you for pointing that out. Thats sad becuase my nephew really like the unity bar.
thank feo
mando_, for help with MINT go to mintsupport
marvindoppelt: Its certainly unusual that both your cards are not recognized - its usually one or the other
bazhang: hey, i only ask people to be specific if they tell me i am giving out wrong information
bazhang: i do not thing this is unfair
bazhang, I got what I needed. thank you
cnf, move on
or stfu cnf, you pass the line.
OerHeks, let it go
mando_: Have you installed the nvidia restricted drivers?
Bl4cklisted, yes I did. No dice
mando_: Ah bummer
mando_: The is strange - 256mb card is rather good
Bl4cklisted, hey question. is ubuntu unity more bloated then kde? I currently have that but I have been admiring unity
nope
mando_, thats entirely opinion
mando_: Cant say. Didnt like unity enough to play around with it
first / second gen P4 with 1GB DDR1 and 32MB GeForce256 is WAY more than enough. i have no problems with XFCE on a Duron 900 w/ 640 MB RAM
mando_: Its also dependant on what effects youve got turned on
there is a bigger issue at hand here unless you expected it to run like a ferrari
xrs1: that is a bit optimistic if you have many windows/tabs on a web browser
mando_: XFCE with a dock may end up running faster than Unity
Bl4cklisted, I know right? but what I think it is the single processor. I think unity would demand something newwer. I dunno
mando_: Yeah, you are on a P4 . . . and only 1 GB of RAM
mando_: Those may be your bottleneck
ubuntu 10.10, I deleted my bottom panel.  I added it back, but the windows dont minimize to it.  ideas on how to get that back?
i ran unity on my duron 900 w/ FX5200 and it ran okay. XFCE runs better
frustro: rightclick and add to panel
Bl4cklisted, yep. I guess I'll go lower in os. Whatever will run his minecraft gamer better lol
frustro: search for Window Selector
mando_: Lol
hahaha my frame rate for glxgears has got to be a lie!!!!
the add to panel is not there.  window selector?
mando_: Minecraft can be rather demanding, do a light DE may be better
mando_: so*
Bl4cklisted, I will. thank you for the help
frustro: Odd. Rightclicking on panel should show "Add to Panel"
oh, it's like a widget on the bar.
got it, thank you.
frustro: No prob
exit
whats the command to completly remove zeitgeist (purge)?
lotuspsychje, you will lose unity functionality , just stop the service
Hi. How do you get Notepad++ on Ubuntu? It seems like the perfect match for Linux but it's not available.
Oerheks:it worked on previous ubuntu for me, will unity crash on 12.10?
Nibinaear: Thats because Notepad++ is not a linux program.
lotuspsychje, yes, dsah search function get corrupted :(
c/dash
cat /proc/filesystems  gives me this list: http://bin.cakephp.org/view/1041381558  I dont see fat or ntfs anywhere. Does that mean i cannot read FAT or NTFS drives?
OerHeks:ok tnx for letting me know
diverdude: No. NTFS is mounted using a fuse module.
bekks: i see... so how can i know if i can mount NTFS?
NTFS
diverdude: You can see fuse listed in /proc/filesystems.
bekks: ahh ok...and fuse can mount both FAT32 and NTFS?
diverdude, this is debian?
bazhang: yeah
diverdude: Since when?
diverdude, then ask for support in #debian
Hi! I'm not able to get x11vnc working after recent update. I've reconfigured dm for kdm over lightdm and here are the working, failed attempts - http://paste.ubuntu.com/1367286/ . What am I missing in the command?

Hi.  I have gPodder installed on Ubuntu 12.04 and on Windows 8 ... I understand that its possible to sync subscriptions (using either a gpodder.net login or OPML file).  However, is there any way to synchronize the downloaded episodes, to avoid being forced to re-download them on each OS?
graingert, I already did
I had a Dell and a HP in the past and although they were great at first, they began to have many issues about after a year of ownership. Do Lenovo laptop machines have a reputation for reliability?
yes
Sweet
Anyone care to share the machine they personally have and how happy they are so far with it?
m000gle  there are things like dropbox
skcin7, this is the wrong place for that
skcin7, try #ubuntu-offtopic
I will do that, bazhang.
MonkeyDust: The gPodder Downloads folder is already symlinked to a shared NTFS storage partition.  So, the episode files are already accessible to both OS's.  The issue is making each OS's install of gPodder recognize downloads completed using the other.

Q: why 64-bit is still not recomended?  I cannot have my main desktop not be recommended. should i install again opensuse or what?
32-bit these days is preflood tech
Sizur, theres a forum thread about that
2010\
that's a bit old
apparently the "recommended" means if you are a stupid user who doesnt even know whether he has a 32 or 64 bit system, its recommended to get 32bit because it would always work
yup
Sizur: 32-bit if you don't care, 64-bit if you know what you are doing
so there are no showstoppers with 64?
Sizur: it stops people coming in here moaning their faces off because Skype doesn't work properly
lol
64 bit is only for "advanced" users, where advanced + knows how many bits their CPU works with
;)
Sizur: Many (including most people you'll find here) disagree with that label on the website, and I'll note that there is a difference between having the 32 bit be recommended, and saying that 64 bit is "not recommended" (at least as most people understand the phrase "not recommended").
hi, the "Startup Application Manager" is missing in 12.10, how to get it back?
bekks, You know that it is?
Sizur: anyway, unless you're using something that doesn't work well in 64-bit (generally proprietary software like Skype) then just use 64
skype works in 64bit
abailarri: I know what?
it does *now*
with the ubuntu package
but people still moan about it
hi i bought a new acer aspire one d270 netbook but i can't install ubuntu 12.10 on it.........when will be it possible to install ubuntu onit with full driver support?? sorry for bad english and thanks in advance pls help me
alrighty, how about latest kde? are any of you running it and what issues you have with ubuntus integration with it if any?
midhuno: try installing with the "network installaion" mini iso
midhuno: Whats the detailed problem?
midhuno: "cant install" is just too generic.
bekks, my problem with Filezilla
that uses text mode only, so it will work on almost any hardware, and you can later use recovery mode to get your drivers working
its what I just did with my new Samsung laptop
bekks : blank screen after booting...... but 12.04 runs well except 3d support
the install DVD would just wreze when the graphic driver loaded. I had to install in text mode and then manually install the latest proprietary catalyst drivers (the beta ones) to get it to run X
abailarri: I have no further idea, since filezilla is working fine here, and we've stepped through the obvious misconfigurations.
bekks: I had the same issue
blank screen, keyboard and mouse non responsive (crtl+alt+del didnt work either although the power button did)
I managed to get it installed using the net-installation mini iso since it uses text mode only
Hey, I'm installing Ubuntu 12.10, I need to install it on a file that I can't format (of course I CAN format it, I just don't want to lose the files on it), I'm creating a new partition on it as Ext2 file system, where should I mount it?  / or /boot?
MonkeyDust:  Actually, I may have found a solution ... If I symlink /home/gpodder (which contains the database and settings files) to C:\Users\<username>\gpodder , then the database files should remain in sync
Domincii: there are a few things wrong with that
Please elaborate, im not great at this :P
Domincii: if this is going to be where you install Ubuntu, it needs to be mounted on /
Domincii: you do kind of need to start with the partition totally clean - it might well work with stuff already on it, but who knows what weird interactions it'll cause
Dominci:, "I need to install it on a file ..."  I assume you mean "filesystem"
Domincii: and don't use ext2 unless you know what you're doing
bekks help me
anyone coding with a ubuntu vm?
or partition, or do you actually wnat to install into a filesystem image file?
8)
Gordonjcp I'm using an empty part of the disk
midhuno: I cant help you, since I dont have a D270 and I dont have ATI at all.
Domincii: but you said you already had files on that partition
bekks, i tried with other ftp client with the same configuration, and it works perfectly
midhuno: I have ati, and I have the same issue, I solved it. I'll PM you
too late
well
abailarri: You could create a bug report then.
ppl just dont listen
jj99, i dont know what you mean
Nooooo, I have a 1tb hard drive, it has 15gb of important data on it, I want to install Ubuntu 12.10 on part of it that has nothing on it
bekks, where?
Domincii, then make that part with nothing on it "ext3" and mount it as /
well i wanted to use ubuntu for programming but there is something fuucked up when i try to do an install so figured i'd try a ubuntu vm but not quite sure if it's viable due to performance
CorvusCorax, thanks
i have an asus 55vw laptop
jj99: Please watch your language.

jj99: Without GPU accelleration, Ubuntu 12.10 is almost unbearably slow in its default configuration (as it uses a "3D" Desktop Environment).
hmh yeah just installed and noticed it
jj99: That said, with some virtual machine software you can get 3D accelleration after installing the right drivers, and you can also use a different desktop environment which doesn't use 3D rendering.
I'd like to duplicate the default GRUB 2 entry and add some power saving parameters to it. How can I do that?
okay so it is probably doable but i need to do some tinkering
systemclient looks under some files at /etc/grub.d/
i've been using centos vms for all kinds of stuff and they have been ok so figured why not ubuntu 8)
Jordan_U thank you for your time
Hi. How do I report a bug about an ubuntu core component on launchpad? I already registered with launchpad and I did search existing bugs and came up empty. I can"t find where to make a new bug
jj99: You're welcome. If you don't want to have to do any tinkering, then use Xubuntu or Lubuntu (neither of which use 3D window managers by default).
I need help

Quick question...
Anybody there that can answer a Live CD question?
mistaknly: Not without knowing the question...
Only have CD, not DVD drive
So I have to use the LTS version? Or is there a way to get the release version on a CD?
lubuntu 12.10 can fit on a cd i belive  or the minimal install image can go on a cd.. or use a USB stick
12.10 is 758MB
dr_willis: you do still need a lot of disk space for Lubuntu
12.10 Ububntu is a DVD correct.
There are 800 mb cd+r
dr_willis: I suspect that's a packaging bug though, because there's *no way* a Lubuntu install really needs 4GB
don't use optical media, use USB
you can get bodhi linux 2.0 which is basically extremely light ubuntu 12.4
Yeah, my machine won't boot from USB, boohoo...

What am I doing wrong?
ok thanks guys
bekks, no one is looking for support, but if someone needs to get ubuntu on a cd thats one way to do it, then just build back up from there
hex20dec, sounds like you installed videodrivers manually, you need to build them every time there is a kernel update.
OerHeks: Mind helping me out here on how to do this?
hex20dec, you could do this tru a script, http://askubuntu.com/questions/111177/triggering-driver-module-rebuild-on-kernel-update
would it work if I make a windows usb with dd? :)
I'd like to update my bios and I have no idea how
ix_, you would have to visit the bios manufacturers website and see if they have a firmware update
jiohdi, I already know that there is an update
there should be instructions on what to do, probably requires burning a cd
jiohdi, I don't have an optical drive on that pc
messing up the bios and you wont have any sort of computer
jiohdi, I know that much
is the bios causing errors?
ix_, maybe just burn the .bio like a data cd, and update from within the bios?
I have a graphics card with a DVI and VGA. CAn I use dual monitors for that ?
OerHeks, it says that the .bio is for recovery of the bios in case it is left unusable
I ran teamspeak for an script and  it works ,but I can't see it now on any screen .  Is there restore so I can see it again
Led_Zeppelin, if it works, I doubt you can do more than clone one screen to the other
i see
i already have 2 video cards. card 1, vga only. card 2 , vga  + dvi. I have dual monitor setup. was wondering if I can do 3 monitor setu
HI guys I creating UBUNTU customized for live usb. How does I save user preferences in root? wallpapers, themes and etc
OerHeks, look here http://tinyurl.com/bb324zs it says that it can boot from the usb, I just don't understand how
P-Chan, user preferences are usually in hidden files on the /home/user directory
ubuntu doesn't support persistence in casper mode
afaik
jiohdi: HOW MOVE to root
because home use root preferences
p-chan you can open a browser as root or sudo and then move anything anywhere you like
file manager that is
ok
I filed a bug report, is this an apropriate bug report or do I have to add information? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-settings-daemon/+bug/1080344
jiohdi: is this affects globally?
P-Chan, what does that mean?
jiohdi: I saved my preferences in hard drive but I want use my preferences in live usb too
you may have to change owners
or permissions
OerHeks: Sorry about the delay.. Uhmm.. I haven't installed any drivers manually.
hi i'm trying to run jd-gui (an i386 app) on ubuntu 12.04 LTS amd64. This is what i get: http://pastebin.com/9wNtfvBa
the app apears to run normally, but i'm still concerned about those warnings hinting at a bug in multiarch
OerHeks: Do I still need to go through that process in the link you sent me to?
hex20dec, yes, this time manually
i tried to install the i386 version of appmenu-gtk (which contains that file), but wasn't able to do so because it conflicts with the amd64 version
(resolved the oxygen-gtk warning in the meantime. looks much better now :))
OerHeks: It clearly says: "This guide is not aimed at users who have installed the drivers using EnvyNG or via the default Ubuntu mechanism."
TomyLobo, yeah you cant have both appmenu-gtk and appmenu-gtk:i386 at the same time
you could probably use LD_PRELOAD though...
hex20dec, envyNG is very old method to use win drivers
vivid eh? manually specifying library paths?
hey buddies, i still can't enable 3D on my AMD Hybrid notebook HP G42 :(
OerHeks: I was talking about the ubuntu mechanism, which is how I got my drivers, I never installed any of them manually, it was all installed with the OS.
i'm not even sure what that library does or why jd-gui needs it
no, if you download the i386 libappmenu.so, you can do say... 'LD_PRELOAD=/path/to/libappmenu.so program"
OerHeks: Sorry, I'm just a bit confused as to why I need to run this..
hex20dec, oke, then you didn't install them bij downloading and applying yourself, then forget about this script, not suitable for you
hex20dec, its probably theres a misunderstanding what your problem is.  it is not common or usual to have symptoms like yours
indeed, like vivid says
* OerHeks got the wrong conclusion
EnvyNG? that may be a very old guide if it mentions EnvyNG
OerHeks: I'm glad you did, because I didn't want to go through this.

can't enable my gpu :(
TomyLobo, so, if you go to http://packages.ubuntu.com/ and download the i386 appmenu-gtk package, you can extract it to your desktop and use LD_PRELOAD to inject the correct libappmenu.so when you run the app
vivid yup i know

As I stated before, why do I always get screwed after installing updates? What am I doing wrong? and how do I fix my video driver now?
JeffBauer:  those Hybrid Gfx setups are the current 'top 10' issue these days.
hex20dec, maybe start with which video card and video driver youre using?
dr_willis, oh that's so bad.. i'm about to downgrade to 10.04, because the proprietary driver works on it
JeffBauer: im suprised it does.
vivid: No video card, it's onboard video.
dr_willis, perfectelly
i find it hard to belive drivers from 2 yrs ago work 'perfectly' on a new ati chipset. but  do whatever you want.
could be its just ignoreign the 'right' thing
ignoreing ;)
vivid: So? What do I do?
vivid:  onboard video IS a video card
oops that was for hex20dec  ;)
I know, but it isn't a card.
maybe 'lspci | grep vga' would shed some light
hex20dec:  #1 - determine your exact video CHIPSET
happy now? ;)
dr_willis: Yes. =]
lspci | grep -i vga
Will try now, thanks.
and it is on the pci buss so it is a video card. ;)
vivid: 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82Q963/Q965 Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 02)
vivid: dr_willis: Okay, chipset determined, now what?
i dont even know your original problem.. i was feeding my dog.. ;)
Lol
JeffBauer: what's your issue?
intel drivers should be included by default anyway
It was, but after a normal update I lost them.
you mean a  upgrade from one reelase to the next? or a update  but staying on the same release
My OS always get screwed after an update, every single time. I don't know what I'm doing wrong. I'm just allowing the update to happen. =[
Simple update.
tried a
?
tried a  'sudo apt-get dist-upgrade' ?
No.
Should I?
ive rarely had updated break things. but a kernel update could i guess have regressions or other bugs
what do you hjave to lose. ;)
a lot!
dist-upgrade is a bit like a more hard-core upgrade
so your system is working?  whats it doing exactly right now..
Yeah, if update ruins my OS, I don't want to know what dist-upgrade will do.
Graphic driver is lost.
How do I get it back?
hex20dec: How did you install it...?
Last time I installed an update I wasn't able to log to my user, had to create a new one.
'what is your system doing when you boot up exatly?'
The update gui pop up.
hex20dec: So how did you install the graphics driver last time?
Was installed upon OS installation.
Onboard card.
Onboard video.
Hi anyone know about Ubuntu for Android from Canonical. How they do it? Same kernel with 2 OS? Or Ubuntu somehow runs in Android ?
hex20dec: Which chipset?
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82Q963/Q965 Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 02)
dr_willis: What is it doing? Nothing, just booting normally.
fairuz, its not "released" yet, but i heard they have some focus on the nexus 7 with 13.04
fairuz, if you youtube 'ubuntu nexus 7' im sure you can find some people that have installed it on the device, but the usuability and performance is pretty low
dr_willis: But seriously, why do I always have something messed up after updates?
hex20dec, do you have some random ppa enabled?
hex20dec:  no idea. you are in the vast minority
vivid: Yea I know it's not released yet. Just curious how they did it.
how do you uninstall that youtube firefox integration? what is it called can't find it in the software center
Is it basically Ubuntu chrooted in existing Android?
vivid: If I knew what ppa was I might answer your question.
fairuz_, im pretty sure its just standard ubuntu installed on the root of the device.  work needs to be done to improve usability
kernel updates can have regressions. but those are normally fixed quickly. and you can alwyas select an older kenrnel to get back to the older kernel and drivers
vivid: I don't think it's standard Ubuntu
since Android is running concurrently with Ubuntu
oh, i havent seen any that run them both.  just one or the other
DarsVaeda:  what Firefox Youtube integeration?
well for one its most likely a kernel compiled for whatever architecture nexus7's runs
it gives you shortcuts to youtube and a launcher integration
dr_willis, in 12.10 they have web app style links to web pages
also it takes over the fullscreen mode of youtube (but not working)
dr_willis: Well, do you know how to fix my issue and install my missing driver?
vivid: They said both are using the same kernel
I'm interested to know how they do it.
oh it is called WebApps
DarsVaeda, yes, unity-webapps-youtube
I can't believe no one here can help me install a simple driver. ='[
vivid: ahh thanks!
hi may i ask if what the keyword/command when changing keyboard lay out
hex20dec, with linux you are out of luck with kernel mode drivers, it is a pain if it not automated
Hi are there a ubuntu mini desktop version, i have server now ?
so i guess that requires expertise not readily available here
arslan, mini version?
there is the mini.iso net install image
yes i need ubuntu mini dekstop versiion
some dont need many resource
it comes as alternate
My laptop i bougth is taiwan ang theres a num keypad on the alphabet and need function key to activate the numpad, may problem is the num keypaf is activated without pressing function key
arslan, http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/netboot/12.10/
Variokeonni i mean some like kde and other
little ubuntu desktop version
i have a ubuntu server now, and i want to transfer to desktop
then install ubuntu normal?
arslan, if you want a light desktop, probably lubuntu is your best bet
otherwise you have standard ubuntu, kubuntu or xubuntu
vidi, ?
ok what are best?
thats up to you, its all opinion
i like ubuntu myself
if your computer can run it i recommend ubuntu
aha
otherwise lubuntu
its a small right ?
CD image is ~700megs
and on disk it is very small compared to windows
and can i install apt-get software there?
hello
can you help me with something?
 I don't like LXDE
yes all variants of ubuntu have apt-get
XFCE
And compatible with ubuntu ppa
taiga, don't ask to ask
I am transfering 950 GB from one SATAII HDD to another, both plugged into motherboard. Source drive is ext4 and destination drive is ntfs. It said 23 hours to transfer. Isn't that rather slow, as in I should be looking into fixing it?
varikonniemi, then what should i do?
arh ok varikonniemi thanks for help
i will try lubuntu
taiga, just ask :D
right. well my livecd doesn't boot
taiga, just ask the question you have, if someone has an answer theyll respond
what about hacking varikonniemi its a secure?
it says i need "pae"
LinuxFreakD: Thats fairly good, since NTFS is provided by FUSE, and is pretty slow by design.
its will run with server.
then instalp a pae kernel
arslan, all linux is very secure
hehe ok
i have like under 1GB ram anyway
bekks: ah ok. Thanks. I just wanted to make sure I wasn't sitting here unnecessarily long.
it just doesn't boot
And what's the error? When do you see it?
taiga if you do not hav pae support your setup is so old i think you should forget ubuntu
it was actually lubuntu but their channel is dead and the name sounds similar
12.04 might still work but not 12.10
taiga, you could try linux mint
they ship non-pae kernels
well i don't think using an obsolete version is a good idea
12.04 is not obsolete
linux mint hmm
Linux Mint = Ubuntu without Unity
do they have "lubuntu" too
It's better IMHO
no their default desktop is lightweight gnome
hex20dec, i have bean searching for your  Intel Corporation 82Q963/Q965 , but no solution on 12.04/12.10
They have a KDE and a XFCE edition
But not LXDE
i need the lubuntu kind of ubuntu
umm
thats linux mint with mate
you know what i mean, right
you can install the xfce version and then install lxde
mate = gnome2.x
yep
OerHeks: Thanks man! =] I appreciate it even though you didn't find anything.
and Cinnamon is a shell for gnome 3
Hi all
it's a pentium m, xfce is kinda... slow there
I get a blinking cursor after grub sometimes and it freezes, if I force a reboot, it works fine, how can I find out what is wrong?
taiga, well
i've tried xubuntu a few years ago
bekks, what if I changed the partition to fat32 about how long would you say it would take to transfer 950 gigs to it/
taiga, have you had linux running before?
Do anybody if gnome-commander supports trash usage or it is deleting permanently files?
i installed lubuntu on my 1.3 ghz celeron with 512 ram, and anything slower will be a pian if you manage to get it to work
1.13ghz
yeah but i switched back to windows due to slowness
xp?
yes
ciao
yes.. thats like 10 years old
lubuntu is like some months
taiga, you switched to windows because Linux is slow? :))
xp has less overhead on many tasks than linux
well i don't want to use xp cause i have "badram" and i can't but it into kernel options for windows, that's what i heard anyway
that os is obsolete ;)
i still use it ... :o
the things you can strip from xp are tiny compared to linux
so you tried 12.10 and it said it need pae? then i can only say linux mint because they ship non-pae in at least linux mint debian edition
i actually use server 2003 that i got from a friend
but also they are removing it soon
so it just says your computer is too old for mainstream distributions
if linux is too slow for you, remove a few services and switch to XFCE or something
why do i need pae if i have only 700M ram?
not xfce, switch to openbox
because the pae kernel is the default kernel
and they don't care to maintain the obsolete i386 kernel
umm.. livecd doesn't boot
I can show you an openbox desktop that uses 23 MB of RAM
taiga, did you try the alternate cd?
no, i wanted to try it first
varikonniemi, there is a non-pea build iso > http://people.canonical.com/~diwic/12.04-nonpae/
nice, is there also for 12.10 ?
nope :9
:{
OerHeks: Thanks again, and if you're still looking for it I think you should stop. I'm going to sleep.. GN
varikonniemi, check out Debian
me? why
varikonniemi, didn't you want a non-pae kernel?
no i helped him who wanted
oh
<varikonniemi> so you tried 12.10 and it said it need pae? then i can only say linux mint because they ship non-pae in at least linux mint debian edition
taiga> non pae capable cpus wont work/boot with 12.10 and 12.04(supported ti 1217) have to be installed with net install
2017
lubuntu is though not
LTE
LTS
:D
graingert, please, i can't enable my 3D driver
JeffBauer, which release and video card?

anyone with a bluray burner with Ubuntu?
vivid, ubuntu 12.10 and 01:05.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] nee ATI RS880M [Mobility Radeon HD 4200 Series]  and 02:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] nee ATI Robson CE [AMD Radeon HD 6300 Series]
JeffBauer, if you press the super key (windows key) type in software sources and go to the additional drivers tab, you should have a list of available drivers for your card
Hi there, do you still see the "Startup Applications" from the system menu (top right corner of screen)?
xrfang, it seems to be missing from 12.10
vivid, the don't enable 3D, i've already tried that
vivid, is there any reason for this, or is it a bug?
xrfang, i dont know, probably by design
hi im' having a problem with ubuquity installation plugininstall.py console_setup failed with code 1
then now to edit startup applications in 12.10 ?
xrfang, press the super key and type in startup
vivid, the driver i've downloaded from ati.com worked on ubuntu 10.04, but won't work on ubuntu 12.10
vivid, it did not find any program
JeffBauer, if youre on a laptop, its possible theres another gpu in the way, im not sure how to resolve that for an amd card
xrfang, try gnome-session-properties
vivid, that's it, thanks.
can i change a user who is running a script?

How to report bug in apport?
would "ubuntu-bug apport" work?
CorvusCorax: no, it crashes
anybody know how to install tablet driver?
Orion78, then you might have to report via the webpage, theres a url to report bugs manually
in launchpad
I was trying to find it, but all I find is a page with help on how to use apport to report bugs, which in my case is pretty annoing.
the link is somewhere on that page,lemme find it ...
Hey guys ....need one help......From local, we use ssh myid@abcd.com , then afte typing in password .....we do su - appname ..then we do a sftp myid@abcd.com to get a file
any pointers to get this done using a script ?
tried stackexhange : http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/56039/script-to-get-file-from-sftp-and-run-it
but no update as of now
Orion78: http://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/PACKAGENAME/+filebug?no-redirect
so I guess u'd replace PACKAGEname with apport
anybody can give me a help with my driver installation??
help
CorvusCorax: Thank you.
hey I have some trouble, when on the command line (tty) I get continous output of errors
triple5-daniel, which tty and what errord, can you post a pastebin?
I want to catch those somewhere else to record for example 1>errors.txt
usually errors go to stderr so it'd be 2>errors.txt
but if its a program thats already running it migh be more tricky
CourvusCorax: any tty as soon as I log in , basically exryptfs_writer:Error encrypting page; rc= [-30]
i have a UGEE RAINBOW TABLET,but i can not let it work in my ubuntu studio
anybody can help??thank you very much
I just want to catch those errors to paste them in pastebin, but don't know how.
triple5-daniel that might be tricky, since its something that gets started from your profile. you might want to check your .bashrc .profile or /etc/profile or /etc/bashrc to see what else gets started and redirect it there
I tried vi but everything gets flooded by those errors
it could also be kernel error messages, that would be an indicator that syslog inst running
can I turn it of from very low level?
kernel errors go to the tty if no syslog is running
well you can turn off the tty but that doesn't help much
does it also happen when you login as root ?
I need some terminal to analyse etc. yes, also as root
not when I login as unprivileged user
Hey all
Greetings... Anyone familiar with 12.10 bug # 1068341   Nvida drivers and the kernel headers not being sucked in as a dependancy?
hmm if its OK as unprivileged, you could login unprivileged then and do su or sudo /bin/bash
frederick: don't post private messages, just post in the channel, best if you read the guidelines how to ask good questions...
but honestly, rediecting the stdout or stderr of a program that is already running is very tricky
it has to b done when that program is started
you could try to find out which program generates the errors and just kill it
i see failed command: READ FPDMA QUEUED
triple5-daniel, looks a lot like kernel errors to me. can you manually start syslog?
like /usr/sbin/rsyslogd
it should hopefully interept kernel errors and put thm into /var/log/syslog instead
hi all how to install skype in 12.10 ?
sudaya: If you visit Skype's website, there is a download available for .deb installation package. Download that file, right click on it in your file manager, and open it using the Ubuntu Software Center.

I have an odd issue, how someone can help. I'm trying to format an eSATA drive but when I format it seems to be trying to access one of my CD drives (light is active with no disk in). Al though the light on the eSATA drive is also active, the format is way too slow t be normal.
fuck you m8, i dont need your help bitch

would ubuntu run on 244 ram machine? ;d
244 mb
no
No, it would crawl. Probably couldn't get through the installer
it wouldnt
ubuntu cant run on 244 ram
duh
;(
might if you used xfe as yer desktop but still
well the kernel would
drag0nius: you might look into tiny distros like puppy
hmmm steam and ubuntu hmmmm
and if you use icewm or twm as a window manager x might run as well
i just received some~8 yrs comp
steam is impossible on linux
244 ram athlong 1.6ghz
32 gpu ram
but dont think about running firefox, firefox doesnt run in 256 m ram anymore since firefox2. it became a memory hog in 3.x
Is anyone familiar with the issue where nvidia propriety drivers won't work right 'cause linux-headers are no longer installed  ?
any suggestions what could i run there instead of xp?
im actually installing the steam beta client now
32 gpu ram>?
use it as a lilttle server for something/

he has a $5 pc
It is pasted: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1367732 I had to do this from command line (pastebinit, so it is a rather large file)
I have run IceWM on a 256 MB machie for years
works nicely when you use a small browser like midori
TUX420: that's an odd one; if you try doing it from the command line and specify the device is the result the same?
yeah the drive is /dex/sda (sda1 for the part) and still flashing the CDrom drive light

MoL0ToV:  have you tested it in 'cheese' yet?
My penis is 9" - 3" +1"
m000gle, not that I know of, sorry. In windows, Symlinks are small text files with meta information while in linux they are special inodes without file content
there might be some hacks, google might help

from 12.04. to 12.10
kishimi8I: from a terminal, run apt-get dist-upgrade

hi, how can i add my windows 7 in my grub list?
update-grub does not work
Guess there is a bug in xwindows on 12.10 when using dual monitors. Mouse pointer shape gets distorted when it comes just between the two screens.
Thought it gnome thing, but replaced the desktop with xfce4 but the same problem exists even
hello. i'm sure this is a stupid question. Let's say: I have a computer in a hostile/untrusted environment. How can i make sure the file system isn't modified or replaced by a 3rd party?
gp5st, disable every other boot option in the bios, lock the computer from being opened, encrypt the hard drive, and lock the actual system itself inside a secure area so nobody can access it :p
gp5st, unless someone physically gets access to your computer though its unlikely the filesystem'll be replaced.
as for being "modified" preventing people from booting other media, and preventing people from logging into it is a start.
quite funny  @TheLord
* TheLordOfTime points to the numerous additional physical-security options such as smart-card required authentication for booting, among other thigns.
TheLordOfTime: physical access is my concern (think mall kiosk). I guess it could be kept in a secure box with just some wires coming out of it
gp5st, that'd be a start :P
TheLordOfTime: are there commercial boxes/safes available like that?
no clue, since my systems all require either a USB key that I keep on my person or a smart card (also on my person) for booting.  i'm overly secure like that.
hello, how do I have a program launch with a particular DE that I select from light-dm ?
DTH0:  Clarify what you mean DTH0
like i said this hypothetical computer would be a mall kiosk and i'm debating having it accept credit card details. the more i think about it the more i think the end user should just place their order there and confirm it and enter in credit card details at home
I want Docky to launch with my MATE session and not also when I open Unity or GS
DTH0  that's not how it works
pci is <word(s) that cannot be said in a family friendly channel>
DTH0:  I belive theres some way to set up ~/.config/autostart/ entries for specific desktops  via editing the .desktop file for the entry
DTH0:  the /etc/xdg/autostart/   files may show some examples of doing this. ivbe noticed it for kde and gnome
This is the second time my 12.10 installation has lost the ability to connect to the internet. I can connect to routers fine, but no internet access. I read about others having this issue with ubuntu but I have yet to find a solution. Any suggestions??
DTH0:  or you may be able to create your own mate+docky session for the login maanger

Hello everyone. I'm trying to fix a friend's 12.04 install. It doesn't boot, fails with "Filesystem check or mount" error, fails to drop to a maintenance shell with a segmentation fault. HDD is ok, I think it's from a power failure. I'm running out of options besides reinstall. Recovery mode doesn't work either, I can't access a root shell.
Hello guys
I've got problem with networkmanager.
I'm not albe to connect with WLAN via nm.
vaequel: what's the error message?
BlackNarcissus: smells like a reinstall. Can the live usb read the mount?
 Hello , I cannot add bookmarks to left side of nautilus manager..selecting the folder and ctrl+D doesn't work . Bookmarks->add bookmark also fails. Can anyone help ?
graingert: It asks me for password - Administration password. When I type it - it tells me that there is an error and I'm not albe to connect well.
vaequel: what error
vaequel: are you sure it's not asking for your WPA password
graingert: Yes, filesystem mounts ok on live usb, and I did a fsck with gparted, disk utility says HDD and filesystem is ok.
graingert: Would you like to get sreenshot?
vaequel: yup
Ok. Wait
This is the problem I am facing : https://launchpadlibrarian.net/95004165/trying-to-add-bookmark.ogv
I need to relog, wait.

Ok. I'm back.
ert3go:  what release of ubuntu?
http://i.imgur.com/eNwde.png - here you are.
dr_willis, Ubuntu 12.04.1
ert3go:  you havent ran nautilus as root have you in the past?
you could check who owns the files ~/.config/gtk-3.0/bookmarks
since thats where they seem to be saved here. but i am on 12.10
So....  as you can see it asks about root password
dr_willis, run nautilus in root as in ? I doubt I've done that
rw-rw-r-- 1 willis willis 197 Nov 18 11:09 bookmarks
check thta file. make sure its owned by your user. and not 'root root'
My 10.04 LTS won't boot: it said something about not having a boot loader or something; apparently, Grub was corrupted.  I rebooted a month ago with a Grub boot CD but haven't dared reboot since. How do I reinstall Grub so it boots (without CD)? Is it something like "apt-get reinstall grub" or something?
dr_willis,  /home/username/.config/gtk-3.0/bookmarks: No such file or directory
ert3go:  that is odd..  perhaps its in the gtk3 dir
or perhaps the directory is somehow owned by root so you cant write to it
dr_willis,  is it same as .gtk-bookmarks ?
ert3go:  look in the file and see whats in it.
see who owns the files.. they should all be owned by your user and not root
dr_willis, yeah , it has 1 bookmark which I could do
 ls -l .gtk-bookmarks
-rw-rw-r-- 1 username username 337 Nov 18 21:24 .gtk-bookmarks
ert3go:  you made a user with the name of 'username' ?
I didn't create any user specifically. username = name of my home directory
;) just checking as long as they match your actual user
huh ?
if your users name is  bob, they should be owned by 'bob bob' like mine said 'willis willis'
err so , i don't see that file being owned by root...yeah it says 'ert3go ert3go'
im out if ideas then. settings gettong owned by root can cause issues that are a little hard to track down.
make a new user  test to see if it works for them. if SO then that would point to its some setting file on the problem user
if it fails with the newly made user also. that would point to a deeper system issue
;x
i tried adding an entry into that file. I don't see new bookmark
Hey! I want to install experimental version of znc from here: http://packages.debian.org/experimental/i386/znc/download but I also don't want to add deb http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian experimental main  to my sources.list because after apt-get upgrade I would install lot of experimental packages. Is there a way to restrict entry in sources.list only to that particular package? (znc). I don't want to download deb files manually.
sheerun:  you could just build it from source
dr_willis: No no no. I want to manage it by apt-get
sheerun, you can ad the repo install the single file dont do an upgrade and then remove it and do a sudo apt-get update to clear it out
ive done that in the past  and kept it all in my users home.
sheerun:  then you dont want to be adding any debian repositories at all if you want to keep apt happy
or just download the .deb files
shantorn: Yes, but later I cannot update that package without uncommenting..
Little tedious imho
tedious yes, aslo doable
dr_willis: I though apt-get install deb packages (it used dpkg underneath)
also*
safest would be to get the .deb and install the .deb but then you dont get auto updates/upgrades.. BEST would be find a ubuntu ppa
dr_willis, i'm working on PPA-ing it
assuming all the dependencies are met.
since TrekWeb runs Ubuntu servers, we're due to upgrade to 1.0, so i have to do the backporting/ppaing
but i have to fix Ubuntu first :/
TheLordOfTime: Do you mean znc?
mhm
Great!
Ive conpiled znc and weechat  in the past - the fact theya re in the repos now makes getting all the needed dev packages much easier
mhm
but 1.0's not even out of experimental yet :P
Anyway, I'm sad there isn't an universal way to do that
I don't want to install deb files manually, because last time I did that I needed to backup everything ;)
sheerun:  that makes no sence.
sheerun, i don't have an ETA on it though, since my Ubuntu system can't boot, and is returning Input/Output errors.
IO errors. ;(
I had this problem: http://askubuntu.com/questions/140246/how-do-i-resolve-unmet-dependencies
thanks dr_wi
thanks dr_willis *
But apt-get -f install wanted to remove all packaged from the system
sudo gdebi foo.deb works for me most of the time sheerun
sheerun, that's because you only downloaded the one .deb, not the other .debs built by the ZNC source.
TheLordOfTime: Is there CLI version of it?
assuming the needed deps are in the repos
sheerun, ZNC is CLI...
sheerun, you could download and compile the tarball (source code) manually though
sry
dr_willis: Is there CLI version of it?
I see 7 ZNC packages in the repos.
sheerun:  cli version of what?
gdebi
I can not get my wireless nic to work on 12.10. Lspci sees it as BCM4312. The card is labelled BCM94312.
gdebi is a cli tool...
so yes. ;)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GDebi
I saw picture on wiki
it has a gui front end also...
ok, I'll look into that, thanks :)
i can use python2 and python3 at the sametime cant i?
TheLordOfTime: I mean, how hard is making ppa?
is there an automatic way to do that?
i know i need to set the env python3 to force python3.
sheerun, making PPAs is idifficult when moving from debian, i have to change the package a tad, so its not easy
i dont think you just force all python2 apps to use python3
sheerun, but i've done it before, its not hard for *me* though
sheerun, i never updated this since 0.202, but keep an eye on this: https://launchpad.net/~trekcaptainusa-tw/+archive/znc
sheerun, that's where the 1.0 backport'll end up
hmm, ok..
sheerun, what OS're you on?
or rather which Ubuntu version
12.04
mmkay you'll know when I know if the thing works :P
http://askubuntu.com/questions/196071/need-to-have-2-versions-of-python
heh
12.04 - i try to install gnome-shell, but it says i need icons, which will not be installed as I need repositories. What should I do?

hello! i am not really new to burning images but i am confused when downloading latest ubuntu img that its too big for a cdr. so i need to overburn it but this process fails, at least with imgburn (windows). what am i doing wrong? :/
hrbrt: the latest Ubuntu doesn't fit on a cd anymore, you need a DVD
hrbrt: use a usb stick or dvd
ah i see, its "only" 753mb so i thaught it copuld be possible to overburn
strongly recommend the USB route, it's fast and easy.  It works so nicely that it's even reason enough to buy a USB stick if you don't have one handy.
ok, will checkn the faq opr whatever out on how to do it. got a usb stick here ;)
http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2012/09/its-official-the-ubuntu-livecd-is-dead
hrbrt:  this is handy also. can have more then one iso on a usb   http://www.pendrivelinux.com/multiboot-create-a-multiboot-usb-from-linux/
hallo?
pls speak english :)
Is that bot?
sheerun: Yes, ubottu is a bot
Where is the list of commands I can use?
thanks :)
Btw. I have made a bot, but free node has banned my server because of it (too much output). Do you know how much time I must wait for an un-ban? I've sent an email to the support..
sheerun: ask #freenode
sheerun: Best thing to do would be to ask in #freenode
kk, thank you

Hi folks, does anybody have a clue about my NFS problem, I described here: http://superuser.com/questions/507274/nfs-share-access-permission-denied/507291#507291
Hey everyone. i've got a problem with my Ubuntu 12.10. I can't login to my Administrator account. when i login it instantly logout. anyone a solution?
laurant, what do you mean by "administrator account"
superuser account
laurant, do you mean "root"
nopr
*nope
the only account i can go on is the Guest account
but i can't burn a Install disk from it
laurant, did you ever "sudo some-gui-application"
i don't think so.
but i cant use 'sudo' from a guest account
laurant, well check that root doesn't own ~/.Xauthority for the affected account
laurant, ctrl-alt-f1 to login from console
Can i use that from 'guest' ?
laurant, you won't be able to diagnose or fix anything from guest
hi guys! how to give specific user rights to be able to create directories in /var/www ?
ofcan, usermod -a -G www username
isnt it www-data?
depending on what user is the owner of /var/www
TheLordOfTime: root is
ofcan, generally you want files in /var/www owned by some proxy for the webserver... www or www-data or the like
i did use "sudo chown <user> /var/www"
for that
ofcan, at least with respect to the group. the file ownercould be root
it makes you the owner of it
I do not recommend to use it on anything else!!!
laurant, he doesn't need/want anyone to be owner of it. its the group that is important
anyone know if it is possible to open dconf-editor as gdm?
delac, gksudo -u gdm dconf-editor
escott: so I just write > usermod -a -G /var/www deployer
escott: ?
delac: use gsettings overrides if you want to change settings for gdm
Greetings all.
ofcan, you want to add deployer to the group that owns /var/www
ofcan, but that group should NOT be root. it should be www or www-data
laurant, what is ls -l /home/laurant/.Xauthority?
?
I'm using Ubuntu 12.04.  How can I lock my display settings?  If often reverts to a lesser resolution.
escott: does not work. "cannot open display: :0"
My Ubuntu (12.04) no longer has a GUI. This happened after installing updates.
trism: you dont think using dconf is good idea?
I have Unity.
escott: oh, ok! so with thhat command you said, I am adding my user to the www group?
*takes a number and waits in line*  :)
delac: not when the settings can be overwritten when gdm is updated
n0ah[]: was this caused by upgrades to the same release, or did you upgrade from Lucid or Oneiric?
laurant, im getting back to your question. you need to ctrl-alt-f1 then login as your normal user, and then find the XAuthority file (if you use lightdm it is ~/.Xauthority or the like, gdm puts it in /run/username/auth-*/database
Same release.
n0ah[]: do you use proprietary video drivers?
the problem is i can login
escott: and since I am deploying on VPS and everything is preety much on defaults, www should be configured properly?
*can't
I'm not sure what you mean.
n0ah[]: what video chip do you use?
ofcan, you can xauth +localhost then run the gksudo command and xauth -localhost... maybe... not sure if that last xauth will break X.
Nvidia Gforce
can some1 help me to run Ubuntu ?
delac: http://www.burtonini.com/blog/computers/gsettings-override-2011-07-04-15-45 and check out the schema at /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas/org.gnome.login-screen.gschema.xml
n0ah[]: and did you install the extra drivers?
Pr0B0t: with details, preferably on one line. Maybe
laurant, you cannot login from console?
trism: they do? shouldn't dconf settings stick even on updates?
I'm not sure, the only thing I saw in the update were updates for Transmission, and come C++ libraries.
some*
delac: the dconf database is in the gdm package
n0ah[]: do you get the login screen when you boot?
I know I have a beta driver installed for my video card though, but didn't have problems before.
Yes.
I'm on Irssi right now as we speak.
delac: dpkg -L gdm | grep /var/lib/gdm/
delac: sorry I take that back
<ActionParsnip> when i rub it it start loading desktop and then pic freez and run some GPU loading and failed load channel 2  failed to load channel 3....
run*
delac: but anyway, you can lose the settings, better to use overrides
and restart i forgot that
Trying to run Unity from the line causes an error saying it can't display on :0.
n0ah[]: when the screen loads. Press CTRL+ALT+F1 and run:   sudo  apt-get --purge remove `dpkg -l | grep nvidia | grep -v nvidia-common | awk {'print $2'}`
trism: well, gues I do that then. thanks!
Okay, I'll be right back. Let me run those.
what is the best way to get what driver your wifi pci card is using?
ofcan, yes and presumably, but i dont know what the actual owner of /var/www is. you need to find that out with ls -l
blackness: there is no single best way
ok, how would i find it?
blackness: sudo lshw -C network    is one way
ok
blackness: lspci -k
i dont know why i didnt think of lshw -C network
atk5k :P
ath5k *
escott: I got this upon running that command you suggested > usermod: cannot lock /etc/passwd; try again later. < what does this mean?
escott: root is the owner, btw
Any news on the support for wayland?
ofcan, the group is the important bit. i keep saying owner when i really mean group
Hey everyone. When installing 12.04, the installer is either stuck on or take a very long time to create an ext3 filesystem for /home. Messages in "Details" give "Asking for cache date: failed", "Assuming drive cache: write through"
escott: root is the name of the group :)
how would i set my wifi password if it contains special chars? example: passwORD!@#$%^&*() ?
ofcan, and you should not put deployer in group root. so you chould change that with chgrp
wpa_passphrase="PASSWORD!@#$%^&*()" or do i have to escape them?
I get this message every time I boot the computer, maybe 3 or 4 times: http://screencloud.net/v/vn9o
Hi, I ran those commands. It prompted me to uninstall the current video drivers I had, I assume, and I did.
blackness, use ' not " to avoid having to escape all that junk
escott: deployer is in sudo group. that is ok?
Should I try restarting and see if the GUI now works?
ofcan, being in sudo group is different from being in root group
so: wpa_passphrase='password!@#$%^&*()' ?
ActionParsnip: You therE?
there*
blackness, give it a try. if that is interpreted by BASH it will come through cleanly
escott: ok, so now how to make that deployer be able to mkdir in /var/www ? I ran the command you suggested, but I got that 'try again later error'...
ofcan, have you read the !permissions page. you are setting up a server so it is very important that you understand the permission model
Hey everyone. When installing 12.04, the installer is either stuck on or take a very long time to create an ext3 filesystem for /home. Messages in "Details" give "Asking for cache date: failed", "Assuming drive cache: write through". Disk utility says the HDD is ok. I'm puzzled.
how to fix this when i run ubuntu it start loading then background stop loading and i can move just mouse and then this   http://i45.tinypic.com/ld0na.jpg   and then comp restart
anyone from china?
Can anyone help me? My GUI for my Ubuntu 12.04 has gone after installing updates. I was just advised to remove my video card drivers, so I did, and was wondering what I should do next.
n0ah[]: What's your graphic card ? Does the system boot, at least on a command line ?
Yes, it boots on a command line. Logging in normally will allow me to run commands. It uses a Nvidia graphics card.
ofcan, if you understand the permission model then looking at ls -l /etc/passwd should make clear why your usermod command is not working
I had beta testing drivers installed before, without problem. I assume I have no drivers as of now.
Hello
BlackNarcissus: Did you get my response?
http://www.dropbox.com/sh/ysntqjuqjzh0jap/goDDKPk6gG#/
n0ah[]: I don't know what your problem was but you can try to reinstall your drivers if you're comfortable with the command line. Drivers for Nvidia are nvidia-current.
what is the name of this dress?
Thanks, let me try that and see if Unity works then.
I'll be right back.
Hi
That'll be "sudo apt-get install nvidia-current" correct?
n0ah[]: Yes, but did you enable a PPA to have the beta drivers ?
No, they were just in the additional driver update popup that came up.
escott: ok, reading what you suggested as we speak. thank you. sorry for being lazy btw
Hello
n0ah[]: Oh, ok. Then you can try running that command and restarting.
Alright, thanks. Be right back.
n0ah[]: did you remove the nvidia driver using CLI?
ofcan, its ok, but at some point you have to read the stuff, and setting up a server is one of those points
ActionParsnip: He said he did, but didn't know what to do next.
BlackNarcissus: thanks
Hi
ActionParsnip: You're welcome. I didn't know what his problem was before, but I told him to try to install current drivers.
BlackNarcissus: no screen after login, remove the proprietary driver then reinstall can help
ActionParsnip: Well, I wasn't wrong then. Good. :)
BlackNarcissus: always a good thing :)
When installing 12.04, the installer is either stuck on or take a very long time to create an ext3 filesystem for /home. Messages give "Asking for cache date: failed", "Assuming drive cache: write through". Disk utility says the HDD is ok. I'm puzzled.
BlackNarcissus: did you MD5 test the ISO you downloaded?
BlackNarcissus: if you are using a CD, did you burn it as slowly as possible and not with the default Windows CD burner
I HAVE TROUBLE WITH MY CAPS LOCK
ActionParsnip: Yes, and it worked several times on that PC and others. I also tried USB live and LiveCD, but both gives the same results.
I THINK MY CAPS STOPPED WORKING BECAOUSE OF UBUNTU.
BlackNarcissus: do you get web access in liveCD?
EXORCIST: Press caps lock again.
BlackNarcissus: What seems to be the problem?
ActionParsnip: Yes
EXORCIST: only in Ubuntu. An OS cannot change your hardware
BlackNarcissus: did you upgrade ubiquity and gparted before kicking off the installation?
THEN WHY MY CAPS LOCK AND MOUSE 2 STOPPED WORKING?
thelinux: Installer is stuck on ext3 filesystem creation.
ActionParsnip: I will try that.
If your caps lock got stuck, I imagine it would be quite hard to find help
EX0RCIST: Are you trolling?
thelinux: gone
Great news: the GUI is now working on my PC, but one problem. Entering in my password, (which I'm certain is correct), causes a black screen to flash with some text, which looks like the screen for gdm and then goes back to the login screen./
BlackNarcissus: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install gparted ubiquity
ActionParsnip: Good.
ActionParsnip: Yes, I'm booting from USB right now :) Will try that. Thanks.
n0ah[]: drop to cli and log in and run:  sudo chown -R $USER:$USER $HOME
cli?
command line interface
ah okay.
hey, I have some home videos on dvd that have no encrption, what would be the best and easiest way to copy these, dvd to dvd, iso to iso so that I can reburn them?
needhelp1: there is no single best way
any ideas?
needhelp1: I would use devede and you can add each video as a chapter on a DVD ISO, you can then burn it to a DVD media
so there are no mouse trails available in ubuntu?
no option I could install?
needhelp1: the more videos you add, the more you will need to reduce quality to make it fit, so add 3 or 4 to each (unless they are already small)
needhelp1: its not the 'best way' as a 'best way' doesn't exist, on any OS. This is just one possible way you can do it
I got input/output errors when trying to do that command.
should that of happened?
n0ah[], sounds like the disk is going bad
n0ah[]: sounds like you need to fsck the partitin
*partition
Can you give me some help on how I would do that?
Would reinstalling Ubuntu solve it?
n0ah[]: No.
Ah, okay.
is there a way i can just copy the iso exactly as it already is ActionParsnip ?
needhelp1: if you have an ISO then just burn it, slowly
i want to copy the dvd to ISO, no iso yet
n0ah[]: just boot to the liveCD and check the file system, no need to reinstall.
Is there a command I should run while booted from the Live CD?
hi. trying to assign static ip; can ping everything by IP, but dns resolution fails

n0ah[]: fsck    read the man page
devral, sounds like you didnt set a nameserver
Gotcha, thanks.
devral: run:    echo "nameserver 8.8.8.8" | sudo tee /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/base > /dev/null
devral: also run:     echo "nameserver 8.8.8.8" | sudo tee /etc/resolv.conf > /dev/null
devral: then you should be able to run:     sudo apt-get update
Hello I get an error when I try to mirror displays
ActionParsnip: that works for resolving external IPs; however, I can't ping any internal PCs by name still
devral, is your router configured to offer DNS
Why can't I mirror displays at 1080?
highest resolution is  1280x1240 4:3
devral: you could add your router as a nameserver in /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/base

John76: details
John76, perhaps one of the displays doesn't run at 1080

Hi all, please help!  I'm running Ubuntu 12.10 xfce, changed some toolbar settings now I boot into a blank desktop in which the compiz cube is functioning but there is no taskbar, I can't right click, alt+f1 doesn't bring me to a terminal, i can only rotate the cube!! please help a noob fix his install
Ray2, same package name
John76: initial question......
alt+f2
because i thought it would be a simple fix
John76: in future, please give FULL details. It makes things so much faster as we don't have to ask for basic details
will do
John76: does the system have a make and model?
can someone please help me restore a functional desktop? would be greatly appreciated
IBM Thinkpad R52
It doesn't have an LCD screen if that's worth noting
cwbarnes: try installing xfce4
escott: ok, read it and changed the group wich owns /var/www to www-data group. now need to add the user deployer to that group, right? how to do that? the command you suggested (with usermod) doesn't work...
@Actionparsnip m8 I am in a bind, I dont have any functionality on the desktop i can only spin the cube, termincal wont work, i can do alt+F1 etc and only see a blinking cursor, i cant right click on the desktop
cwbarnes: the command alt+f2 doesn't work ?
ofcan, usermod needs to modify files in /etc (in particular passwd and groups) both owned by root. so you need sudo usermod -a -G www-data deployer
ofcan, if just anyone could add themselves to a group that would kinda defeat it as a security feature
@pikaciu it doesn't do anything, i can only spin the desktop cube, and its at a lower resolution
@pkachiu this is true for both desktop environments i can log into, both xfce and ubuntustudio
hallos. I'm having an odd issue with DNS I believe. I have intermittent network connectivity issues over both wired and wireless that none of my windows machines are experiencing. Comcast here has an automatic DNS of 75.75.75.75. I tried using auto-DHCP settings and trying to force my dns to 4.2.2.2... but these both have the same issue. Any ideas?
im running nvidia 310 drivers, w compiz cube, it was working perfectly and i changed a setting on the taskbar?? any thoughts m8s :/
any thoughts friends?
cwbarnes: in a terminal, run:   sudo apt-get install xfce4      log off and log in to the XFCE session
John76: http://mathema.tician.de/hardware/r52    may help
John76: if the display isn't reporting correctly then you may need an xorg.conf file to make it ok (assuming the screen and ATI chip can show HD).
escott: I need write permissions to be able to create new files and folders inside a folder, right?
Maybe I didn't use that resolution
Also, if I open the wireless manager, it still shows my dns as 75.75.75.75 even though I set it to 4.2.2.2... I think this may be the source of the problem?
So it most likely doesn't natively support 16:9 ActionParsnip
it's from 2004.
cwbarnes: can you enter the system with fluxbox or other enviroments ?
John76: not sure, check your spec online
I have set up a key on my server, how do I get the key from the server to the client though ssh?
is it any other way to consider a file type except "$file filename" ?
okay, i have a scenario where i'm trying to get xen working under 12.04 amd64 ubuntu and i'm using xen-hypervisor-4.1-amd64. If i try to boot on any xen kernels the boot sequence will totally freeze after couple of entries under "(XEN) Xen-e801 RAM map:" with (usable) memory ranges without any errors anywhere
hmmm ubuntu desktop 12.10 64 bit does not fit into a normal CD?
No results other than ads ActionParsnip :/
Resolution: XGA (1024x768)
John76: then you may need to use an xorg.conf file
XGA	1024	768	4:3	0.786
John76: what monitor / TV are you using?
Westinghouse 24 inch
John76: is it a L2410NM ?

EW24T7EW
ActionParsnip, EW24T7EW is the model
John76: phew, thought that was an errant password for a moment there
If I try to save a manual config in the wirless manager, the save button is greyed out?
John76: thats what I wanted the first time.....
yeah sorry ;/
blaaaah
John76: dude, when anyone asks you for some information, give as FULL and complete information as you can
John76: seriously
im sorry ;_;
John76: can you see why I'm saying this?
yes
John76: I'd have a go at the xorg.conf, looks like the display isn't doing what it should do
no takers? :(
nr_double: what is the output of:  lsb_release -sc
thanks anyway ActionParsnip but i dont know how to do that
how would you restart from hibernation? power switch?
anyone?
t432: Just power on your computer again.
that's how most computers do it, yes
ok
ActionPartnership: quantal
nr_double: try unticking 'available to all users'.
I am getting this error when attempting to run redeclipse on ubuntu 10.04, Unable to create OpenGL screen: Couldn't find matching GLX visual
ok, i got it to save, but it says my dns is still the 75.x comcast dns
why is my usb disk opened in read only mode? i need to write to it.
bdi_, what is the output of "mount"
escott: http://bin.cakephp.org/view/1270977591
So I'm trying to install 12.10 off a USB drive on my desktop. I've got two disks in RAID0, configured using the motherboard utility. During setup, I selected the correct /dev/mapper device I wanted grub installed to, but thrice now I've ended up with 'Executing 'grub-install /dev/sda' failed.' / 'This is a fatal error.'
That's not the device I told the installer to put grub on!
xbskid-, you can't put grub on /deb/mapper
escott: Then it shouldn't let me select the damn thing. :P
bdi_, and /media/9D.... doesn't work
escott: yeah
escott: I have the W7 boot loader configured to boot to the /dev/mapper device, but it dumps me at a grub> prompt, and since I don't quite know how Ubuntu's grub config is set up, the best I can do is end up at an (initramfs) prompt.
xbskid-, in RAID0 you will need a /boot outside the array
Does that "suspend" button in power menue stand for hibernate?
bdi_, wht does "touch /media/9D[TAB]/test output
And here I thought Ubuntu was easy.
xbskid-: it is
xbskid-: it is, right up until the point where you start doing deeply weird stuff like dual-booting softraid
xbskid-, fakeraid is junk. you are better off disabling it
escott: touch: cannot touch `/media/9D28-8A4E/test': Read-only file system
escott: It's a bit late to be switching off it.
escott: oh god yes, whomever invented fakeraid needs shooting
escott: and wubi
can someone help me to change the channel on my wireless device eth1 ?
i tried 'sudo iwconfig eth1 channel 14' to no avail
chaospsychex: it detects the channel used by the router
ActionParsnip: how can i connect to the router on a different channel
bdi_, hmmm
ActionParsnip: i would have to change the channel on the router ?
chaospsychex: its detected when you scan for networks
chaospsychex: yup
chaospsychex, you must change the wifi router config
Grub can boot the kernel, so obviously -something- works.
chaospsychex: yes, change the router, reboot it and then scan for networks, the channel will be detected
ActionParsnip: would interference cause wifi signal strength fluctuations and loss of connectivity when putting eth1 under load ?
is possible
i've tried different wireless adapters and even different ap's and still experience this problem
chaospsychex: the router doesn't switch channels because a client starts using a different channel, it doesn't work like that
oddly enough, i experience this problem only when using *nix
escott: but why is it read only?
chaospsychex: are there a lot of networks in the same channel
bdi_, can you "ls -l /media/9D[TAB]
ActionParsnip: no
bdi_, rather can you "ls -al /media/9D[TAB]
escott: sure
chaospsychex: then find out your wifi chip and check for known issues. In some cases it helps to disable n speed
hi. If I use Btrfs-tools from PPA on 12.04 LTS (Philip Muskavac repo) will I burn on eternal unsupported fire with my LTS in next 2 years?
chaospsychex, remember that wifi channel are 14, but if you for example use channel 7 and interferences are on channel 8, also channel 7 is affected
chaospsychex: what is the output of:   sudo lshw -C network
LTS btrfs-tools are too old for raid1 conversion to run
hi, is there a channel where i could get help using testdisk to recover my data from a usb harddisk? i can see the data, but i can not copy them (no space) cant i just "apply" the found partitions? It does not work for me and i dont know why ...
nikolam, you probably weren't going to get much butter fs support anyways
chaospsychex: use http://pastebin.ubuntu.com
escott: ?
escott, that is because I need to convert RAID0 (made after adding device) to RAID1 Btrfs.
bdi_, ??
nikolam, requires kernel support not tools
nikolam, i believe
aha, to even if I upgrade from PPA, it will not convert Btrfs to RAID1...
I need upgrade to 12.10...
oversize, what means that you cannot copy them?
and to follow regular release wagon.
MoL0ToV it seems incredibly slow and its about 200G
escott: why is it ro?
nikolam, i believe so, check in #btrfs
ActionParsnip: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/1368465/
oversize, dmesg what say? there are errors releted to disk?
bdi_, if i knew i would tell you. thats why i want to see the ls -al output
escott: ahh ok
MoL0ToV yes ... (its on other pc so cant copy)   "Buffer IO error on device sdc"
bdi_, a few other things to check. you might remove and insert the usb stick and then run "dmesg | tail -n 20"
MoL0ToV  testdisk lists  partitions and files fine though
chaospsychex: seems you are using the wired, or is that because of the shaky wifi?
escott: http://bin.cakephp.org/view/602715220
oversize, you can try do use dd_rescue to make a bit a bit image to another position, then try to mount with loop option
Hello... in /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades I have the line: Prompt=lts  ... but when I ssh into this machine, the first message I receive in my ssh session is "New release '12.10' available."  How can I avoid that message?
ActionParsnip: because of shaky wifi
I thought it would not be giving that message unless I had Prompt=normal.
bdi_, input/output error. its a bad usb stick or it needs to be fscked
MoL0ToV ddrescue  will make "the whole thing" image? i mean if there is 500G data  it will be a 500G image?
escott: fscked?
bdi_, you can "sudo umount /media/9D[TAB]; sudo fsck /dev/sdb1"
oversize, no, if your disk is 200GB the image is 200GB also if only 10MB of data is present
MoL0ToV ubuntu says i would have to go to win and run checkntfs (or so) but in windows i only get to "formath hd?"
its a 1000G usb drive and i dont have enough space for that 8(
is ntfs?
yes
chaospsychex: have you tried blacklisting the driver, see if something else gets loaded at boot?
ActionParsnip: no
I'd like to send a shout out to ActionParsnip and pikacui for their expert assitance heping me to restore my desktop environment!  THANK YOU may you live long and prosper!!!!!
I'd like to send a shout out to ActionParsnip and pikacui for their expert assitance heping me to restore my desktop environment!  THANK YOU may you live long and prosper!!!!!
cwbarnes: yay :)
you can try fsck.ntfs in ubuntu
Is Wayland still going to be the default display server?
oversize, you can try fsck.ntfs in ubuntu
escott: http://bin.cakephp.org/view/899252519
gustav__: it's not in Raring :)
MoL0ToV thats what dmesg says: http://dpaste.com/832991/
chaospsychex: worth a try
ActionParsnip: Good...
bdi_, given that its a USB stick you shouldn't have anything important on it. i would just nuke it and create a new liveUSB
Wayland looks like some retarded game API.
oversize, you can try fsck.ntfs , and then try to mount
escott: yeah...but how
if don't work the only thing to do is use dd_rescue , ask friends for a disk of 1TB
MoL0ToV thanks, i will, do you know what package is fsck.ntfs in?
i only have fsck.nfs
i think ntfs-3g
or something like
Anyone know why my server is mentioning 12.10 is an available new release even though I set "Prompt=lts" in /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades?  Is it just normal that new releases are mentioned when you ssh into a machine in spite of the setting in that file?
ejo: no, that is not normal.
SwedeMike: thank you... additional info = I just upgraded the machine in question from 11.04 > 11.10 > 12.04 and then rebooted.  I have not done anything else.  The contents of /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades are just the original/default contents.
Any suggestion what I ought to do?
ejo: does server make noises about new releases even though it's CLI....
ejo: could be it's some kind of left-over from when it thought you wanted to upgrade to new releases, and when you changed to lts only it didn't update the login banner.
ejo: well, don't do anything.
Why even when I type 'iptables -A INPUT -j DROP -p tcp --destination-port 25565 -i eth1:2' is that port still available on that IP?
yeah, it's not like it really matters, I'm the only one who logs into this machine (it's my virtual server instance)
My Ips are: http://pastebin.com/7nwfFrHa
I don't think I will go sleep-walking and "accidentally" upgrade it to non-lts xD
escott: heh well i tried that ages ago as the first thing :) that did not work which is why i asked the question
hi all! is there a way to map multiple sound devices on the fly using alsa without pulseaudio
Why even when I type 'iptables -A INPUT -j DROP -p tcp --destination-port 25565 -i eth1:2' is that port still available on that IP? My Ips are: http://pastebin.com/7nwfFrHa
escott: ahh erase disk first
that worked
alsamixer
open up your terminal and open alsa mixer
Ubuntu support is bad. You're not flexible. There's some feedback for you.
gustav__: you could participate to make it better then :)
When using IP tables and I want to block the IP on e.g. 'eth1:2' how do I do that? It doesn't seem to work..
Basic: what about alsamixer
bekks: Yep.
ejo: did you just change it back from prompt=normal? the results are cached in /var/lib/update-notifier/release-upgrade-available so that's probably why you are still seeing it
how do I install java so I can run a minecraft server?
how can i see the storage space available on usb drives i have connected?
bonhoeffer: df -h
bonhoeffer: if they are mounted, do df -h
devral: http://www.webupd8.org/2012/01/install-oracle-java-jdk-7-in-ubuntu-via.html
jrib, bekks -- awesome!
trism: Ah yes, ok.  Thanks.  Yes, yesterday before I performed the upgrade I had changed it to Prompt=normal. Then the upgrade itself resulted in it being changed back to Prompt=lts (I guess the default).
hi
trism: So I suppose maybe that cached notification will change on its own eventually?
trism: or could I safely just clear the contents of /var/lib/update-notifier/release-upgrade-available?
...Well, uh, I'm not sure what's going on, but I chrooted into my new install from the liveusb environment and ran update-grub. Grub successfully loaded, and let me boot ubuntu, but I don't have any video signal :P
Damn thing probably didn't bother installing video drivers.
ejo: yes, you can remove that file and run: sudo /var/lib/update-manager/release-upgrade-motd; and it will be regenerated (and should be empty)
xbskid-: it typically won't do that automatically, depending on the video subsystem.
ejo: it should fix itself on its own eventually though
Gnea: It's an ATI 4870 X2.
I just did Alt+Ctrl+F1 and I have a blinking cursor, but no prompt
THERE WE GO
xbskid-: are you running quantal?
ActionParsnip: Yes.
xbskid-: well, don't get me started on the merits of Nvidia. ;-)  Did you try to manually install the drivers through the system menu?
'The disk drive for /dev/mapper/cryptswap1 is not ready yet or not present.'
xbskid-: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-install-amd-catalyst-legacy-drivers-in-ubuntu-12-10-quantal.html
Gnea: I haven't been able to log in yet. :P
xbskid-: ati 4xxx GPUs don't do well with the XOrg in Quantal, so you need the legacy driver, that PPA makes life easier
xbskid-: Oh.  Why did you setup an encrypted system?
Gnea: ...I only chose to encrypt my home folder!
xbskid-: okay.  Did you just go through the steps or did you follow a guide to make sure that everything happens as it should?
* ActionParsnip wishes Oracle had faster upload speeds
Gnea: No, I didn't follow any guide. I took the idiot's path and just ran the installer.
xbskid-, when you encrypt home it encrypts swap as well
xbskid-: okay, and is this 12.04 or 12.10?
Gnea: 12.10
xbskid-: Do you recall if, during the installation, you made /home a separate partition to be encrypted or included in the root filesystem?
Gnea: Only two partitions; swap and root. >.>
I'll just run through the installer again and -not- encrypt my home folder. :]
Fourth time's the charm
heh
i can't get access to my usb external drive: cd:cd:10: permission denied: /media/New Volume
Not to mention every time I boot the live environment I have to create an .Xmodmap file for my mouse.
any troubleshooting options?
xbskid-: that could be part of the problem... if it isn't asking for the passphrase at bootup to load /home, then maybe having it on its own partition would be helpful... or not encrypting it at all would avoid the whole issue lol
guys, i m using ubuntu 10 at this seems to be not supported anymore. Which most stable version you d recommend to upgrade to?
alexGla: there is no Ubuntu 10
alexGla: there is 10.04 (Lucid) and 10.10 (Maverick)
ActionParsnip: 10.04 / 10.10 comprises Ubuntu 10
sorry i mean 10.04 Lucid
Gnea: yes but one is supported, one is not. So it is significant
ActionParsnip: That's true, but that's more of a general perspective than anything else
alexGla: Lucid is still supported on the desktop til April next year. I would do a clean install of Precise and enjot support til April 2017 :)
Gnea: yes, but you can't run 'Ubuntu 10'...Would it be a dual boot of both?
Precise is pretty nice.... until it decides to not allow a scanner to work :P
Does Rhythmbox or whatever it's called do gapless playback?
thanks ActionParsnip
alexGla: do a clean install and restore userdata from backup :)
ActionParsnip: That's a misunderstanding - '10' is just referring to the major version, not the minor version.  It's like saying "Oh I run Linux Kernel 2.6, not 3.2" You don't really care about the minor version at that point.
ActionParsnip, well, i don't know how to do this :\
Gnea: true but the version is significant, so saying Ubuntu 10 isn't detailed enough, it also names 2 releases which you cannot single boot
alexGla: well you could take the upgrade path to 12.04 from 10.04 or you could take the suggestion to do a clean install
ActionParsnip: Yes, but it does provide a starting point. :-)
Gnea, clean means formating file systems and installing from scratch ?
alexGla: basically.
Gnea: ooh he is using 10.04, no 10.10 so no :) two digits make a big diference
he is using 10.10, no 10.04*
Gnea: true :D
xangua: it doesn't make much of a difference in this case, we know he's using 10.04 ;)
Hello, why is that when I try to use my second monitor the Gnome panel disappears
I want to turn off the netbios name service for my node in my LAN, how do i do it ?
How do I make everything stay in frontal view when switching from 4:3 to 16:9
pranavk: well that's controlled by Samba
alexGla: do you have the ability to boot from usb flash?
How do I unblock a port on eth1:3
cuddylier: how did you block in the first place?
Gnea I can't remember :S
cuddylier: well that is going to make finding a solution pretty difficult :P
Gnea How do I view all iptable entries?
I could check there
ActionParsnip, since you know my details can you help me
Gnea, i have my ubuntu set up in windows. But i haven't got OS on usb flash
cuddylier: well iptables -nvL  should do that, or you could install ufw
Gnea: would turning off my smbd would work ?
Why is it that only when I choose Mirrored display/1024x768 4:3 that I can see the gnome panels and workspace  properly
alexGla: oh, you're using wubi?
pranavk: sure
Gnea, i am considering to upgrade to 12.04.1 from Update Manager
John76: I only have an xorg.conf for single screen systems
Why is this complicated though?
Once I have found the entry, how do I allow it again?
John76: I don't think gnome panel has the ability to stretch between 2 or more desktops
John76: because of gnome.
John76: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=dual+head+xorg.conf    may help
Gnea, i think yes. I have installed OS from windows and it basically on my windows OS. I need to use both OSs
Well I mean why when I switch to16:9 everything is out of view
Instead of just lining up
Gnea: I believe the issue is resolution on the external screen
cuddylier: gufw makes that easy
I don't want another X session on the monitor. I just want to use this monitor as the main and only output and at 1080p
alexGla: okay, well you could free up space on your hdd to boot both natively, rather than relying on windows for ubuntu
It shouldn't be complicated. I've done it on my other laptop and it's 'automatic'
John76: well it's going to do that if your monitor is a 4:3 monitor
It's not
My 'monitor' which is a TV is a 16:9 1080p HD TV
ah
I'm saying that only 4:3 works with Gnome
hi, I've changed my OS to 12.04, and I copied the /home directory from the old system to the new one. But when I try to launch a virtual machine (windows 7) from virtualbox, I get an error saying: "the image file /usr/share/virtualbox/vboxguestadditions.iso is inaccessible and is being ignored." What can I do to solve this error ?
Any other resolution or aspect ratio and it just disappears
Gnea, yes, i had split my hdd for both win and linux but it was on my last machine
John76: what about the mouse cursor? does it show up on the second display?
Yeah
And the wallpaper
Everything but the workspace/gnome panel etc
It's there but it's ALL THE WAY at the bottom/top
John76: Then it's working the way that the Gnome people designed it to work.
Like it's zoomed out..
Zoomed in anyway
Gnea, is 12.04 version quick? i don't really want all this fancy user interface updates they made in latests versions
I don't understand Gnea
alexGla: well they changed the base GUI from Gnome to Unity. If you have a slow machine, it's not much of an upgrade as far as speed goes
alexGla:  use lubuntu if you want minimal eyecandy
alexGla: Bodhi Linux would probably be decent enough
John76: Gnome was made to fit in a box, so to speak... they didn't design it to be too extensible with all of these newer devices
cheers guys. I have enough of rams on my machine, just all this looks to me Mac like updates
Why does the IP in eth1:3 not work when I have these as Iptables? http://puu.sh/1rGub
sigh, this is really getting old... i've tried to follow many guides including this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Xen to get xen going but it just doesn't seem to get past first stages of booting
John76: the same thing happens if I hook a CRT monitor up to a laptop - the second display will have the wallpaper and I can drag windows over to it and it works... I just don't have any menus or icons over there
debug it then
John76: the only way to 'stretch' everything from the original display to the new display is to use something called xinerama
hello, how can I change the notify duration in ubuntu 12.04?
ben1u: what doe you mean?
hi
is anybody here?
nrik: nobody
thanks
yes nrik
what do you need help with nrik?
boom
danielboston26: ich mean NotifyOSD
cuddylier: well t hat doesn't show anything about what's on eth1:3, other than the fact that it's allowed. does the IP on eth1:3 match up with one of the subnets that it's connected to physically?
I'm trying to install ubuntu 12.04 but firstly I have to deal with partitions. I've got some troubles with "try me without installing". Everything seems to work until I choose that option. After that, I get just desktop and cursor.
No errors in tty, and tty is working.
coud you help me write some bash script with integration with Gnome3/Unity statuses?
What could be wrong?
Gnea This IP worked until 1 hour ago when it suddently stopped letting connections in..
Atlantic777: that is suppose to happen
cuddylier: then the problem sounds like it's on another part of the network
Where do I configure grub's timeout?
Atlantic777: your trying ubuntu without installing it
Ah...So it may be my host?
I mean, when script running show process to notification bar, like it was with zenity
cuddylier: right.
I'm not used to grub.conf being split up into a pile of smaller files
xbskid-: /boot/grub/grub.cfg
danielboston26: and... what are you trying to say? :)
Atlantic777: if you want to install ubuntu onto your system then you need to select the install option
ben1u: use at your own risk: http://www.webupd8.org/2010/05/finally-easy-way-to-customize-notify.html
Gnea: That's an auto-generated file. :P
danielboston26: hey, I want gparted firstly! :D
xbskid-: and?
ActionParsnip: thx
Gnea: And I'd rather update the configuration used to generate that file. :P
Atlantic777: you need to install ubuntu
Atlantic777: then install gparted
Gnea: Found it; /etc/default/grub
danielboston26: no, I'm pretty sure I don't _need_ to install it firstly. Gparted is included in the live session.
xbskid-: yup
danielboston26: I have troubless with starting ubuntu live sessions.
Atlantic777: ok so what issue are you having?
danielboston26: live session wount start. I'm stuck with background and pointer.
fuck
danielboston26, Atlantic777: gparted works without installing the OS first.
Gnea: yeah, I know. :)
THERE. Let's see if it doesn't break again
Atlantic777: there may be an issue with your video driver
Atlantic777: do you have a nvidia card?
danielboston26: no, it's a radeon card.
danielboston26: i don't think that it's a kms related problem. (nomodeset and stuff)
hi, I've changed my OS to 12.04, and I copied the /home directory from the old system to the new one. But when I try to launch a virtual machine (windows 7) from virtualbox, I get an error saying: "the image file /usr/share/virtualbox/vboxguestadditions.iso is inaccessible and is being ignored." What can I do to solve this error ?
:D
Boot success!
xbskid-: awesome
Atlantic777: hmmm idk if ati has open source drivers
Now if I could just figure out why the hell I don't  get any video unless I change terminals...
kristenbb investigate why it can't access it
anyone try netflix on 12.10? works well - http://i.imgur.com/hfw8O.png
kristenbb: did you remember to install the virtualbox packages from apt?
kristenbb: in the powered down virtual system, check the config and eject the ISO you have set as the optical drive
sorry guys checking the intelligence of ubottu
kristenbb: Remove the virtualbox installation, and use the official installation package from www.virtualbox.org
Atlantic777: people usually have issues with nvidia because their drivers are not open source so they are not included in linux distros
phuck
bekks: its just the VM config
danielboston26: it has, the radeon dirvers. Proprietary are fglrx. But... I think that t's something other.
Gnea: on which system, do I need to install it on the guest ?
danielboston26: erm, nvidia has open source drivers, too. Nouveau...
ActionParsnip: Actually he is missing the ISO, since it isnt provided by the repackaged vbox from Ubuntu.
Hello, does anyone know why the kernel is waiting 15s (dmesg: http://pastebin.com/4r2AhGg4 )? I've blacklisted my ethernet module on a previous test, but it's still waiting 10s for something.
bekks: yes, but if you have a VM with the ISO set as the optical drive at boot and it isn't present you will get the error
kristenbb: well it needs to be installed on the system that you're going to run virtualbox from
Thanks Gnea I was AFK, checking it out now
ActionParsnip: Yes.
hi
John76: cheers
hi people. im using notify osd under an arch distro and somehow at some point i ended up with green background notifications... and i found this: http://www.webupd8.org/2012/02/notifyosd-to-use-same-colour-as-dash.html now im wondering exactly what the behavior of notify osd is meant to be on ubuntu, whether it actually arbitrarily changes colors
bekks: so just set the optical drive to not have that iSO mounted at startup and the error goes
sorry guys
Gnea: oh, didn't know that. so which package should I use ? there are many with a similar name
Gnea: virtualbox-guest-additions , virtualbox-guest-additions-iso, ...
kristenbb: well if you look through the list at the descriptions and read them, you should be able to make an educated decision.
sorry guys just checking the intelligence of ubottu working on artificial intelligence

juniour: do you have a question or are you just going to say random words ?
Gnea: how can I get a description?
gnea this is a lot of work? im new to linux

i cant
The only thing I don't like about Ubuntu so far (And this may apply to other desktop distros) is that I find the resize areas on the window chrome to be razor thin.
or can i just steal his xorg conf Gnea
kristenbb: well if you make your terminal take up the whole screen, then type: apt-cache search virtualbox, you will automatically see them
kristenbb: or go to www.oracle.com and download the non-free (although zero cost!) vendor packages
kristenbb: did you unmount the ISO from the VM?>
Gnea It wasn't my host :(
Anyone have any idea why all ports are blocked on eth1:3? Here are my IP tables: http://puu.sh/1rGOA
ActionParsnip: I don't think your answer is related to my question. I don't have a problem loading the virtual machine, the system loads, it's not a iso. My problem is rather about the guest additions
kristenbb: did you use the menu in the top of the running VM?
hi people. im using notify osd under an arch distro and somehow at some point i ended up with green background notifications... and i found this: http://www.webupd8.org/2012/02/notifyosd-to-use-same-colour-as-dash.html now im wondering exactly what the behavior of notify osd is meant to be on ubuntu, whether it actually arbitrarily changes colors
Is there a way to make my cpu fan go full speed? It will not speed up and i keep overheating?
SiDi: arch isn't supported here
I dont have and pwm controls to use pwmconfig and fancontol apps
ActionParsnip: I didn't use anything so far, I just started it, after having copied .virtualbox from my old home system to the new system
ActionParsnip: Im asking about the behavior of canonical supported software on a canonical supported distro
ActionParsnip: and this message appeared
kristenbb: what OS is the VM?
ActionParsnip: windows 7
recently i had to reboot headless server and  my external usb HD's where not mounting so i 'mount /dev/sdc /media/usb1' 'mount /dev/sdb /media/usb2' and so on. now when i have to reboot today all HD's mount to their original name, 'mobile' 'my book' and so on. all i want is to have them mount to same place regardles so apps that look in /media/usb1 can find it without me changing setting back to /media/my book. help please
SiDi: how are canonical supported distros anything to do with Arch?
kristenbb: http://www.dedoimedo.com/images/computers/2008/virtualbox-install-guest-additions.jpg
How do I clear my IP tables?
ActionParsnip: try and read my question until the end please: im asking whether, on ubuntu, notify osd changes color from the original dark grey one, because im trying to understand why it does in my case
cuddylier: sudo iptables -F
cuddylier: or you using iptables or the ufw interface ?
iptables in ssh
ikonia
SiDi: may help https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NotifyOSD
cuddylier: see that second URL, it will tell you all you need to know.
Yeah, clearing iptables worked :D
ActionParsnip: thanks. from experience this wiki page has been rarely maintained though :)
SiDi: the fact is, you said you are using arch, so we cannot possibly support you, there are lots of possibly missing configs
Gnea None of that documentation states what to do if you have multiple ports
Hello, does anyone know why the kernel is waiting 15s (dmesg: http://pastebin.com/4r2AhGg4 )? I've blacklisted my ethernet module on a previous test, but it's still waiting 10s for something.
ActionParsnip: yeah i know. im just trying to understand what the default behaviour is to find out why it changed. obviously i didnt setup unity and didnt modify notify osd specific files, so that means the daemon reads some other config files from other software components. which i dont think is good
'iptables -A INPUT -j DROP -p tcp --destination-port 25565 -i eth1' blocks all my IPs and ports...
Why on earth would it do that
SiDi: could try http://www.webupd8.org/2010/05/finally-easy-way-to-customize-notify.html
So, since my install is a little bit of a hack-job, how can I get the instant messaging icons on the right-hand side of the menu bar?

xbskid-: indicator-messages, but it will hide itself if no apps are using it (using pidgin on 12.10?)
ActionParsnip: thanks. ill probably replace it with a patched version indeed. one last thing, do you know whats the channel/team name/bug tracker of the usability people in canonical now? i have serious concerns about text on green bgs regardless of whether using arch or ubuntu :-)
trism: I was thinking about using Epiphany, or whatever it's called; I can't remember. :)
Empathy!
xbskid-: empathy should be there, make sure telepathy-indicator is installed
trism: It's installed; where do I look to see if it's enabled? O.o
SiDi: launchpad is the bug tracker, I think that first wikipage is probably your best bet for finding what mailing lists/irc channels/whatever the people involved live in.
* xbskid- reboots
Flannel: thanks, ill try and track them down
xbskid-: should autostart with the session
I have an Ubuntu Server in 12.04 LTS and I want to upgrade it to 12.10. But by default it seem to only recognize other LTS releases as upgradable. How can I make do-release-upgrade upgrade the Ubuntu Server to the latest release, even if it is not LTS?

it shouldnt

Evil_Eric: not bad really, you?
semitone1: you can tell it to format or not by selecting the manual partitioning when you get to that step of installation.
ActionParsnip, just relaxing and slowly moving back into ubuntu 12.04
any ideas?
Thanks -- the reason I ask is because my ubuntu installation is broken in a few ways -- I was wondering if installing lubuntu on top of it (but not formatting) could correct things like non-graphical boot

serunu: you can use /etc/fstab  you can control where and how it mounts
nr_double: wifi never shows up within virtual box - you must bridge one virtual ethernet interface to it - further support in #vbox :)

is it somehow possible to make an overview over how much space different types of files take up in a dir and its subdirs? Like create a file-type space distribution in dir A ?
xbskid-: did you try that?
ActionParsnip: A while ago. Came up with about six different sites with the same info, and then I looked at Ubuntu and realized there's no single Xorg.conf
xbskid-: you don't have one by default, if you make one it will be obeyed
ActionParsnip: Does it completely override the existing config, or is it just supplimental?
okay, it seems that i know the root of the problem with my xen booting issue: uefi boot & too old xen

Hello, I just installed ubuntu as a dualboot with windows and I need to configure grub to let me choose between windows and ubuntu, how is that done?
hi - i logged out of my usual kubuntu desktop and into Ubuntu, and was presented a desktop with no window manager, I cannot even do Alt+F2 to start a program - and the machine is set to autologin - how do I get out of this and back to Kubuntu?
vl4kn0: that's default behaviour
Escott / ActionParsnip  Would you be able to help me map my media keys?  I'm on a CR-48 and the guides out there don't work
or how can I get Compiz or some window manager to run?
ActionParsnip: I didn't choose the "Install ubuntu alongside windows" option as that option was not available
vl4kn0: if you run:   sudo fdisk -l     do you see an NTFS partition?
Hello everyone
I'm beginning to understand the c programming language but I have a question, is anyone here experienced with c?
this gives me total amount of lines of a specific filetype: find . -iname '*.m' | wc -l  How do i get total size of a specific filetype?
t4nk: ask in ##c please
o.k.
diverdude, du could get you each files size and you could then pipe that to awk to sum it up
ActionParsnip: fdisk -l gives me weird message about not supporting UUID, but ubuntu disk utility shows the NTFS partition
diverdude, find . -iname '*.m' -exec du | gawk '{sum += $1} END {print sum}'
ActionParsnip: not UUID, GTP
GPT
escott: find: missing argument to `-exec'
vl4kn0: that's good
diverdude, -exec du {} \;

lmao guess not
VlanX: MD5: 49a65ceab331f1c83e66040b97679e5f

yes you
L3top: Which one is that?
Hye how can I give permission to www-data user to access to direcotory which one is owned by foo ?
anybody know a lucid command to put a interface into monitor mode
It already exists in the kernel... it would be installed and running without doing anything.
Bustacap: ^
zatan: what is the output of:   ls -l www-data
How do I remove keytouch completely?
ColdRush: its just a package, like any other
L3top: well I can't do anything cause of video lag...
I need some sort of driver I'm assuming..
ActionParsnip,  www-data is the user, ls -l command is for directories am I right ?
linuxcnc (based on ubuntu 10.04) does not show my HDD during the installation process - is this fixable?
Bustacap: define the lag... and what version ubuntu are you on?
there's currently windows XP on the hdd
zatan: it shows the access of the directory. Who is the owner and owning group?
ActionParsnip, directorey which one I am trying to access with www-data is drwx------ 21 zatan zatan

Bustacap: what app are you watching videos in?
xbskid-: no idea, not something I was even aware of til you named it
ActionParsnip: vlc.. movie player... youtube... everything video related lags.
It's a dual core with 2gb of ram. It shouldn't be this bad.
Sup Bustacap?
Bustacap: I am afraid radeon dropped support for your chipset a while back, earlier versions of the driver they used to provide I do not believe will work with your version of xorg. If you just want to stab at things your best bet would be http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/linux/Legacy/Pages/radeon_linux.aspx?type=2.4.1&product=2.4.1.3.12&lang=English
Bustacap: what video chip do you have?
Bustacap: and are you using Unity?
ActionParsnip: I guess so? It's a fresh install of 12.10..
Bustacap: what video chip do you have?
But as I said, I believe what you have is as good as it can get... I use KDE 1204 on that chipset and it works fine.
ActionParsnip: he has an ATI X1200
L3top: thanks
ActionParsnip: RS690m
so you have gullium3d already
Part of the x1200 series?
From what lspci says.
Bustacap: have you tried installing the xfce4 package, logging off and on to the XFCE session, see how it goes there?

So far the most annoying thing about Unity is that there's no way to, say, right-click on a launcher icon and run it as a different user.
And you can't right-click on an icon to see what program it's running.
So... Useless. :P
2 obscure features make it useless.....
;P
xbskid-: you don't have to use it.....
ActionParsnip: You're right. I should switch to one of any number of other window managers.
xbskid-: Unity isnt a window manager
xbskid-: its a shell
Shells, then
xbskid-: it uses Compiz as the Window Manager
That reminds me; compiz has this tendency to crash in 12.04  and 12.10.
xbskid-: never had an issue
ActionParsnip: my fstab file looks nothing like the one in the example i was reading. how can i copy the contens of my fstab file to pastebin? I can copy/paste in nano but not outside of it.
serunu: its not something I use. I don't have SSD anywhere
pastebinit /path/to/file/to/paste
ActionParsnip, was it you that suggested me to set some parameter on 12.04 to avoid massive write rates to HDD's after many seconds of idle time?
like when downloading ubuntu's torrents
VlanX: I gave a link that looked smart. You can also add options like:   noatime
UUID=96db155e-8d35-4766-8719-7af79fc82eac/ext4discard,noatime,nodiratime,errors=remount-ro01
is my fstab for my ssd for /
oops.. formating dident take.
UUID=96db / ext4  discard,noatime,nodiratime,errors=remount-ro  0  1
dr_willis: thank you. http://paste.ubuntu.com/1368886/ is my fstab if anyone wants to look. i just want my external usb HD's to mount to same location. for some reason when they mount its not always the same place.
serunu:  fstab defines exactly where they mount to.. they shouldent be moveing
dr_willis: thats why im trying to interput my fstab to set/verify the defaults
hi
serunu:  you have no fstab entries for external disks that i can see
dr_willis: i know, my problems begin.... although i know they are mounted at this very time.
serunu:  nautilus is auto mounting them 'on the fly' when they are first accessed
make a fstab line for each one. and it wont do that
ActionParsnip: no, i was not referring to the option of not having the OS to update when a file was accessed. I'm wondering why when i download a distro with transmission i have several seconds of idle and suddently it starts writing like crazy for two seconds, and then it idles again. I wonder if a more smooth writing process would be more desirable.
serunu, blkid to get the UUID of your usb HD and add a line for it similar to the line for you / partition in the fstab.  i'm not sure if that will fix it though if its not plugged in at boot time, try just manually mounting the thing to a directory you make.  i think that overwrites metadata for when it gets automatically mounted
VlanX: not sure there dude, sorry
ActionParsnip no problem man :)
external HD's always plugged in. problem began when they did not mount at boot so i made places for them to mount. today, after a reboot they mount to orignal place. I will look into adding my own lines into fstab. thanks.

brandon420: do so
done.
RodneyMillerPCA didn't understand what is the problem but open java is crap just install oracle java jre/jdk
brandon420: reboot and come back, look for any changes to graphics
asd
"== Cannot send to channel: #ubuntu"
almoxarife, alright, i will brb
I think I agree with you jj99 this is the third time with the same issue. Every time  I upgrade ubuntu I go throught it.
The only issue I have is installing the oracle java. I'm a toodler yet in ubuntu. lol
RodneyMillerPCA imo the first thing to do is to throw open java away
RodneyMillerPCA there are tools that make it easy
i don't even understand why the ship open java with ubuntu because it's so broken
anyone here is using IRSSI ?
what's the point when you have to change it to oracle anyways
almoxarife, I don't notice any difference
I would be honored if you point me to one jj99
brandon420: according to what i see you are already using the intel drivers, did you look at the log? you are connected to hdmi?
RodneyMillerPCA https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java that seems a pretty decent guide
suhaib: i do
RodneyMillerPCA you should be fine with installing the jre
almoxarife, I am using dual monitors, one through hdmi and the default laptop display. Is there a intel control panel of any sort? I would like to play games, but it is attempting to load so much crap that it can not handle.
jj99: you don't have to chane to oracles if you don't want
jj99: i've heard of people having great successes with oracle java
ActionParsnip: I was wondering what is the difference between /connect and /server ?
ActionParsnip yeah but some webapps are broken with open java
jj99: yes, some. If a person doesn't use the broken ones, why add the oracle one?
brandon420: the switching is via distro specific, i use kde
almoxarife, does compiz drain your resources like it did on gnome? (im using unity) The games i am trying to play work/run "decently" on windows.
ActionParsnip yeah but why use a broken environment
Awesome. I was over and over the site and missed that one. Thank you very much jj99
jj99: why expend effort when what you have is ticking the boxes? Fixing something that isn't broken?
suhaib server will disconnect your current connection
brandon420: can you try running the game without compiz?
ActionParsnip well anyways a large scandinavian bank has an internet banking solution that doesn't work with open java
Just killall compiz?
danskebank to be more precise
jj99: well then you need the oracle one.....
almoxarife  just killall compiz? I don't know where to turn it off otherwise.
ActionParsnip but anyways i disagree with shipping a broken environment
brandon420: no, that would toss cookies with your graphics, i think, you are now asking me questions about something i dont use, someone else here must be a compiz guru
suhaib: /server seems to be for adding it to the config in some way.....try asking in #irssi
jj99: Oh. So /server if you want one connection and /connection of you want to join multi rooms ? I hope am correct :P
suhaib yes thatsabout it
jj99: it works for many, so its not broken. It just doesn't suit YOUR needs. Nothing more
connect opens a new server tab that you can toggle with ctrl+x
almoxarife, alright, thank you for helping me out. =)
ActionParsnip: thanks
ActionParsnip but you can still run into broken webapps with open java
jj99: aha, this is the trick :-)
jj99: thanks
jj99: its like saying "why does ubuntu ship with firefox.Its broken". I hate firefox. Same difference
maybe it works now but in a year you'll stumble into your new favourite webapp that doesn't work
brandon420: there is something you could try, 'openbox' is a light DM, no compiz, install it, log into it and then run the game'
ActionParsnip but firefox does not have a fully working "reference" implementation
jj99: then if you find you need oracle java, you can install it
almoxarife: but it's really hard to configure :-S
how can I install ddclient 3.8.1 in U12.04?  The only one I can apt-get is 3.8.0
The great thing about standards is theres so many to choose from
subcool: to just start up a game?
walterwoj:  find a PPA, or use source
sorry subcool
ActionParsnip so yeah the open java is a working solution? use it till something breaks
hi guys, i'm having consistent "org.freedesktop.avahi.timeouterror timeout reached" error on a fresh 12.04-LTS server fresh install with AVAHI, anyone else?
jj99: why not? makes sense
dr_willis: sorry, PPA?
suhaib: to just start up a game?
walterwoj: Yup, source then compile it
almoxarife:  yes. if you want the most resources for your game.
dr_willis: ic, i dont know what to tell the guy then
ActionParsnip because the oracle/sun works and now we have this half assed solution named open java
almoxarife:  i dont know what the origial problem is.  Just the open box window manager will save some resources.
jj99, you are very wrong: https://blogs.oracle.com/henrik/entry/moving_to_openjdk_as_the
jj99: yes... 'for you'  this is the bit you seem to overlook
whats a light DM without compiz that will still have game capability?
almoxarife: all of them?
almoxarife:  its a 'wm'  window manager.. and theres a dozen in the repos
walterwoj: I've found a PPA for 3.8. in Precise
almoxarife:  they all have game capability....
almoxarife:  openbox is a popular one.
almoxarife: if you want a suggestion... try one of the boxes like openbox or fluxbox
walterwoj: sudo add-apt-repositry ppa:ian-hawdon/ddclient; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade
almoxarife: XFCE is also pretty lightweight
jrib: it was not my issue, my rig(kde) works fine
kostkon hehe
jj99: we don't all use the same java stuff you do, so we don't need the same java you do. The open java may work for everything we need. How ignorant can you be?  "I need oracle Java so you must all use it!"
jj99, ;)
* almoxarife uses qtrazor when he wants light
ActionParsnip it's not really about that _i_ need it, just to point a real life example how it is broken
jj99: I know but for many open java is fine, so it's not broken, like you said it is
ActionParsnip: awesome thanks!
walterwoj: just used the PPA link ubottu gave.....
walterwoj: there is a nightly build too: https://launchpad.net/~agib/+archive/ppa?field.series_filter=precise
wow, someone got netflix to run on ubuntu, good job
perhaps, i' off now
almoxarife:  now i will never leave the house.....
;)
dr_willis: i am guessing 'netflix' is not complaining
almoxarife:  i bet the company will be.
dr_willis: how so?
its making things too easy to screen capture. ;)
how can you look up metapackage heirarchies from the repos?
dr_willis: true but maybe more folks get subscriptions :)
almoxarife: who what where
but the netflix thing is running in wine. so we know how stable that can be...
dr_willis: gonna test it a month ;)
gustav__: not sure what you mean
almoxarife: Ok.
hmm i seem to have lost sound

Just to make things interesting I got this error: http://pastebin.com/4aFx4Chg when I did what actionparsnip said

this is a support channel. so yes.

ok so i somehow nolonger have a sound card how can i refind it
having an hdmi cable plugged in shouldnt have an effect on my sound card right
hash_, it might
hello
whatup wes
so i used the arecord -l command and it shows no sound cards found
but i do belive i see it under lspci
if i install a metapackage a, with one of several packages b, which has a dependancy to c.  am I correct that apt get remove b will remove dependancy c immediatly, but wait until autoremove to remove a, and all of a's dependancies?
Hello
hash_, i believe the pulse audio gui does not show an HDMI card until the HDMI cord is plugged in. I would think arecord would list it no matter what, but it might make a difference if arecord is going through pulse
gunarm1, no. apt-get remove b should just remove b
Hey, I'm thinking about going back to breezy badger days for a customers crappy old laptop that just wants to browse the web. Will I be able to get the annoying broadcom wlan drivers working on a distro that old?
gunarm1, rather it will remove b, not that a is unsatisfied and also remove a
well escott, i tried the arecord with and without the hdmi plugged in both nothing and the audio i saw under lspci is my hdmi audio
Bustacap:  i dont see the point in going to an old relase really.
Bustacap, just don't. It will be full of security holes.
Bustacap:  theres disrtos out there made with older hardware in mind.
now im wondering if i fried my soundcard somehow
Bustacap, you will be putting your customer's data and personal info at risk
i know syntax for filename with space is example: my\ folder. i am trying to input this into fstab but it will not recoginze it.
saw a few mentioned on disrtowatch this week with a focus on 'old hardware' as in 10+ yrs old
serunu:  you trying to mount a samba share? or what excatly? fstab does NOT use that syntax for spaces
dr_willis: the problem is that it's got the horrible radeon x1200 gpu and new releases don't support it.
So it's very slow.
Bustacap, try xubuntu 12.04 or lubuntu
Nope. Drivers only work for 8.04 and older for this video card from what I read.
dr_willis: it is ntfs filesystem, friends(windows user) HD that has label My Book
/dev/sda1 /mnt/first\040disk ext3 options 0 0
So I figured if I'm going back to 8.04, I might as well just go back to breezy.
You dont have to use the label name.  You vould use the uuid or /dev/sdXX name schemd
Bustacap:  i dont see the point.
To use the ati drivers.
Cause I can't do anything on this thing on 12.10
I just want something small and old school than can run on the crappiest of crappiest computers.
distrowatch lists several for Older hardware
All she does is sit on facebook all day lol
Yeah, but I don't want to try a bunch out, I used breezy back in the day lol.

Hello People!!!
Bustacap, lubuntu 12.04, puppy linux, slitaz
dr_willis: is there anyway to get fstab to accept space?

serunu:  the example line i pastesd showd how to use a space.
/dev/sda1 /mnt/first\040disk ext3 options 0 0
dr_willis: must not have seen it. thanks.

Hi there, first time in this chatroom. I am a linux users but a windows support worker.
dr_willis: much appreciated
I am interested in discussing about servers... and so on.
hmmm well my soundcard isnt blown
How do i get pulseaudio working again? I had to download the gnome alsa mixer for volume control.....
hello
Hi!
dr_willis, it said "connection to pulseaudio failed. automatic retry in 5s"
hey!
so what is this about netflix?
sounds like the pulse server/service is down
Chunkin:  seems to work here for me
Chunkin, i'll try it soon myself
oh cool
Chunkin: Don't use netflix myself :p
http://www.iheartubuntu.com/2012/11/ppa-for-netflix-desktop-app.html
yeap, that's the blog post
dr_willis, And when i try "start-pulseaudio-x11" I get "pa_context_connect failed: connection refused
nice
Netflix is horrible >.>
lol
on the good old 12.04 i could see Konversation on the upper right part of the screen, clicking on the mail syble; but now with 12.10 i can just see the mails with Thunderbird and nothing else. Anyone knows why is that?
hulu is better
 sudo service pulseaudio restart
how do you respond to someones chat? like with their name first?
How to use gdebi to install dependent packages at once?
jCuber?
For example all from http://www.weechat.org/files/ubuntu/precise/0.3.9.2/i386/
oh cool
jCuber, yay
gdebi foo.deb bar.deb whatever.deb
sheerun, dpkg -i *.deb?
dr_willis: It does not work for me: gdebi weechat-curses_0.3.9.2-1_i386.deb weechat-core_0.3.9.2-1_i386.deb => Dependency is not satisfiable: weechat-core (= 0.3.9.2-1)
Do all the variations of ubuntu support: hfs+, exFAT, vFAT, FAT16, FAT32 and ntfs?
I have gdebi 0.8.5
hi
kostkon: I don't want to use dpkg, it's too dangerous tool :)
sheerun, lol. ok then
sheerun:  if you got all the debs needed you can use the dpkg -i  *.deb mmethod
can anyone recomend a dynamic dns cleint that works? (ddclient has a bug)
Err gdebi uses it..
dr_willis: The same dpkg is out of the scope
dr_willis: Yes, but is knows how to use it
makes me wonder if the ackages are made right
Hello, looking for a quick bit of help with dnsmasq does not seem to come back with a dns but gives dhcp out fine and everything just can't find a website.
Zetsumei, maybe I can help.
private me a message.
dr_willis, it just says "establising connectino to pulseaudio. please wait." Should i also mention that i am currently listening to music...
under sound it shows Dummy Output
brandon420: is pulseaudio even installed?
dident you say you had no sound earlier?
KM0201, Shouldn't it be by default?
brandon420: i think so... try sudo apt-get install pulseaudio   see if it installs... that looks like it's not installed
yes i have no sound
dr_willis, I stated that i had to download/use gnome alsa mixer to change my volume.
oh
opps
brandon420:  so? whats the actual issue then?
can anyone recomend a dynamic dns cleint that works? (ddclient has a bug)

brandon420: did you run the command i told you?
sorry guys, thought that would be only two lines
yeah
apt-get install pulseaudio, and it is installed, and the latest version
brandon420, close all the apps that you are running that produce audio. They are blocking pulseaudio
brandon420: post #2?   http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1642262
brandon420, then try to start pulseaudio again, by just giving: pulseaudio -D
kostkon, "Deamon sartup failed."
brandon420, :/
KM0201, But shouldn't I delete the alsa folder (there isn't one) since I am trying to use pulse as my default?
brandon420: if you're trying to use pulse, why on earth do you have alsa installed?
that's like getting a drivers license so you can ride a bike
I have no idea.
err.. Pulse uses alsa..
ok, i stand corrected
so just delete /.pulse
;)
All of this started when i set my sound to come out of my hdmi
brandon420, what's the output of:  fuser -v /dev/snd/*
KM0201, pulse sits on top of alsa
kostkon: yeah, so i see
kostkon, nothing.
I am going to restart real fast to see if deleting that folder worked. brb
brandon420, try:  pulseaudio -D -vv
ok
Any thoughts on any alternative to ddclient since it is broke in 12.04?
that worked. =)
Thank you guys <3
all it was was a configuration issue apparently
walterwoj:  find a ppa or use source to ise a newer version?
deleting /.pulseaudio and restarting, simply set it to default
Hmms, I wonder what I did.
well, you said it started when you were messing w/ hdmi...
I only noticed it after I took my laptop and watched a movie downstairs
well, now I know what todo when/if it happens next time.
I tried the ppa install but it didn't fix it, even the nightly build had no effect because of a perl-sha1 issue with freedns
is natty unsupported now?
helo, yes
nope
i put it on a friend's laptop, and it has worked perfectly for quite some time :)
oh i thought you said "supported"... sorry
helo: unsupported doesn't mean doesn't work
but she doesn't know anything about linux, but the update manager is bugging her about updating
errr "and the upd"
that can be disabled.
but its most likely a good idea to upgrade to a supported release
it's probably better to just put her on precise...
helo, yes
should i back up ~ and do a fresh install, or just use update manager or apt to update it in place?
anyone here that can help with launchpad?
hi, im trying install ubuntu, but, in Install screen, not show /dev/sda (HD), but just /dev/sdb (usb drive).  What I need do for show /dev/sda ?
dr_willis: where would one find a guide for compiling from source to see if that fixes this issue?
helo: i'd backup and reinstall 12.04  otherwise, you'll have to go 11.04>11.10>12.04
walterwoj:  you can use the apt-get build-dep packagename to pull in needed dev packages for anything n the repos. then just grab the source and  go the  ./configure,, make, make install route
Ubuntu-BR: sounds like it's not recognizing your sata channel for some reason.. check your BIOS and see if you can set it from "SATA" to "IDE"
or use that tool to make debs from the soruce
i have uploaded a package in ppa but i did delete it, now i cant upload a new one, i get an email saying the upload failed, how can now see the package version-release of the deleted package to be sure im uploading an incremented release of that package?
dr_willis: will that give me newer source than I get by default in the prebuilt packages?
if you download the latest source.. it will. ;)
KM0201: thanks
way over my head here...lol
there some reason you need the latest?
KM0201: Ok, I'll.  Now, I'm do an physical format.
Ubuntu-BR: i wouldn't completely format the drive in case there's a problem... at least you'll still have windows
How would I go about getting a list of available indicators?
xbskid_:  askubuntu.com has a question with a listing of indicator-applets
KM0201: but, I run ubuntu-live and Nautilus show /dev/sda, show all files, no problem...  show everything...  but in Install screeen, Not Show /dev/sda, just /dev/sdb
search for indicator applet, and sort by 'votes'  should be the top item
Ubuntu-BR: hmm, now that is weird
dr_willis: That's not what I'm looking for; I'm looking for a list of indicators installed on my system
I'm using Ubuntu Server 12.04 and I installed xinit, but when I do xinit, I get that I can't run the X server. When I try to run it as root, I get that it is a suid-root program and I can't run it as root. How would I fix this?

How do I point my main menu Web Browser icon and popup menu from bottom of screen, to point to Chromium by default.
thank you ;)

How do I make a Facebook account?
It says I need a special e-mail address.

eamon: what xbskid said :)
I want to read some comments. It says I need to log in.
Bl4cklisted, do you think we have much choice in that?
gunarm1: You can at least avoid using FB
almoxarife, no window opens up when i enter default
eamon: yes, you would need an account to read all the comments, or you can use 'cache' perhaps from google search
west: no window when you click alt-f2 ?
yes when i enter alt f2 but when i enter defaul in that little window all i get a red circle with a horizontal white line.
alt 2 opens up the application finder.
west: you need to get to 'system settings and within it to 'default applications' there you set your browser to what ever you like, that should have your icon click force 'chromium' to start

How do you get your computer statistics to show up? (Memory, cpu, vram, etc) I'm using Xubintu 12
doug__: show up where?
doug__: alt-f2 , type 'monitor' , do you get something in response like 'system monitor' ?
I'm trying to view statistics of my hardware
for example, how much Vram I have
doug__: try gnome-system-monitor
doug__: i dont see sysmonitor doing that,
doug__: erm, you may not have that on xubuntu
doug__: type 'info' instead
type it where?
doug__: alt-f2
mistaknly: All flavors of Ubuntu use the same kernel, base system, and repositories (differences are just in the default set of installed packages). Write support is only available for journaled hfs+, exfat support isn't great but can be made to work, all other forms of FAT have great support, as does ntfs (though there is no fsck for ntfs, ntfs filesystem repair must be done from Windows).

thx jordan
mistaknly: You're welcome.
I just want to be able to run all the disks like Knoppix does on an installed ubuntu minimal system
is their a website or a book that teaches how to compile Ubuntu from source code
do we need such thing?
I have to support Macs and windows machines and setup samba
i compiled qemu from source with gold-like options, no issues at all
So I have removable usb drives with hfs and exfat partitions that I need to use to transfer files to another location.
Knoppix works great but only as a LiveCD
brian__: Ubuntu is a distribution, not just a single program - if you're looking for building a Linux system from source, check out Linux From Scratch
knoppix is old-school nowadays
I've just upgraded to precise from lucid and fonts are looking awful. Notice how the spacing in http://picpaste.com/Screenshot_from_2012-11-19_01_31_40-5iqMWviI.png is completely off.
for example, knoppix doesn't support file-based persistence
What's wrong and how do I fix this?  Fonts are bad in a number of places.
brian__: when you are done looking for source build, look also at 'checkinstall'
iuser, ok you got me, I have to look that up....(file-based persistence)
i have merged several advanced and lightweight live usb distros into one ufd
Well I'm not using sql or xml, does that help. I just storing files.  I was doing to do a minimal "network" install.
so, i have many choices. no persistence, partition-based persistence or file-based persistence
anyone know how i can find out how /dev/sdc2 is connected (e.g. usb, or sata, etc)
iuser: i am not sure how what you have done helps mistaknly
and on-demand package installation.... and other advanced features you don't know
and everything is copy-2-ram
iuser: better yet, this is not your floor show
iuser: take it to -chat

ctitguy_, Ctrl-Alt+F1
I have a laptop that's a dual core, with 2gb of ram and it's constantly running at 100% cpu. System manager shows that whatever process is running is using 100% cpu. What is the cause of this?
ctitguy_, to get back f7 is where you are now.
Is there a complete LAMP package I can install in one go?

hello dice-man, do you know it ?
blackshirt: huh i barely switch on my computer
blackshirt, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copyleft
dice-man,
yes
what is the best webadmin for ubuntu?
When asking questions, http://google.com is a good place to start. I mean that in the nicest way possible. (googled copyleft and that was the first link)
Marduuk, What do you want to admin?
myphpadmin is nice
oh, lol. webmin is out there. Or putty and google.
want something like cpanel and whm for ubuntu
can i mount with gparted -- i can't find the option anywhere
What is the default groups for Ubuntu 12.10?
hmm. .. i installed gparted to mount gpt partition, but there is no 'mount' option in gparted
i'll read up, study or try in any way to get this working, or go to another room if this is not the right place
i'm pretty frustrated, trying to get to my disk
Anyone using ubuntu 12.10 willing to post result of $ groups? Lost all groups.
What's a preferred DNS server? Safe and fast?
gustav__: Google's seems to work pretty well.
I mean a daemon. Such as bind.
gustav__: 8.8.8.8 & 8.8.4.4
anycast is insecure
is thera clever way to mount /var/www/ to /storage/ so that it is accessable under the samba share I already have?
Which is better, kvm or xen?
i take kvm because it's free
Xen is free too.
free != freedom
What is freedom then?
hmm, it's a long long story
Measuring programming progress by lines of code is like measuring aircraft building progress by weight.
Both are GPL v2? Yes?
it is an off topic subject to discuss in this channel. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for "conversation" and keep this channel free for support related comments.
I am trying to decide between VM environments and DNS server, how is that not a support subject?
gustav__: you asked what freedom was. I was replying to that.
That was a question involved in this support discussion. Are you trolling me?
gustav__: I am telling you to keep your questions and comments Ubuntu support related.
IdleOne: And I am.
Also please drop the adversarial attitude
Me?
yes, you.
You are picking on me! :O
This is outrageous.
is there clever way to mount /var/www/ to /storage/ so that it is accessible under the samba share I already have?

What is the default groups for default user in Ubuntu 12.10?
Nickwiz: grep EXTRA_GROUPS /etc/adduser.conf
thank you very much.
Nickwiz: actually, that's commented so I guess there may not be any :)
yup yup yup uhuh uhuh
Hello, is there a way that i run a shell script automatically when my system startup?
Yuri-Yang: what kind of shell script?
jrib: looks kind of strange. Tought lpadmin, adm etc. was part of default groups (as in groups user has after install.)
Nickwiz: create a new user and see
Nickwiz: I think most of those groups aren't necessary anymore and stuff gets handled by polkit instead.  Not sure
jrib: yes, did so, that user would have same groups as the "default" one? There is no extra magic done to that first born?
Nickwiz: there is magic done to the first one
managed to remove user from all groups using an install script.
it's just a very simply script in which i "killall" the ibus-daemon and then re-boot it again. the icon of ibus-daemon often disappear and i need to kill it and reboot it via terminal. i wanna do it in the very beginning
Nickwiz: just make sure you're in sudo.  Should be fine
Guess I'll keep an extra eye on logs etc for a while.
Nickwiz: my user is in the groups you see commented in adduser.conf but my install is very old (many upgrades)
thx jrib, i ll check that out
cant you just add something to the usr .bashrc file?
sandba553r: that's probably not ideal
just a guess
gpt sucks! wow -- this is hard stuff
anyone know what an http 2.0 server would be doing running on a windows machine by port 5357, if u put 127.0.0.1:5357 in a browser you get an http reply "error 503  service unavailable"
sandba553r: not an ubuntu question...
ya, nm
sorry found it opened  on my windows partition, freaked out
Why does my /etc/resolv.conf point to 127.0.1.1?

Hello people. This is my question: I need to record video and sound from a Logitech c270 Webcam with VLC, from the command line. I'm using Ubuntu 11.10. How do I accomplish this?
I managed to record it from the graphical interface, but I need it from the command line
Krywk: Trying to spy on someone? :)
Krywk: tried 'man vlc' in terminal?
xbskid, no.
almoxarife, Haven't tried that, I tried vlc --help
Krywk: man vlc may be more informative
almoxarife, trying that
I could also use ffmpeg, but I get ALSA buffer XRUNs
which cut the audio out
Thing is, I have to record video and audio from a webcam, from the command line.
According to this https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QuantalQuetzal/TechnicalOverview/Alpha1#General the group "admin" as been removed; I notice the group is not present in 12.10. But it also say that "However, for backwards compatibility, admin group members are still recognized as administrators" - does this mean that a clone of sudo to admin should be used if admin is needed, or is there no need for the admin group  - and "magic" is done low level?
Nah. Do not know what I was thinking. Forget it.
VLC has given me great results with the GUI.
But I need to accomplish this with the command line.
And there doesn't seem to be a 'capture' method for v4l2://
And also that captures no sound.
Hi, I'm on a gentoo installation but I can't get my trackpad to work. I've noticed, however, that it works on an ubuntu live usb session. Can anybody here help me out? The people over at #gentoo are stumped.
i hate php co,mpany niggers, why they made something that shitty like Bitch PHP nigger
Krywk: in the gui, the 'show me more' option shows the command line options part, assuming you can get video via the gui then you will have the line to use in command line
Why does Ubuntu 12.10 come with an "Amazon" link in the menu?!
owned.
almoxarife: YES! THANK YOU!
Krywk: :)

Xabster: It's an unity thing and utterly completely widely fundamental breach of sanity.
on the surface: I agree
but why
did they get money for it?
talpur: why do you ask?
Xabster: do not use Unity and hasn't looked much at it, but ie this makes me wonder: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2012/10/31/canonical_slammed_eef/

I have no idea D:
i mean terminal*
I don't know what I did but it just popped up after a reboot lol. how can I view which it is?

anyone know?
dumb0t: sed is the answer or perl can do it or various others
how I access "usr directory" from GUI
sed -e 's/foo/bar/g' filename > newfile
can i change just a part of a text in a file with sed??
Got the Netflix thing downloaded and installed...no video but great audio...any ideas?
KI4RO: ask the PPA maintainer
you can give sed line numbers
dumb0t: sed
IdleOne: Okay, thanks, will do
oh ok, let me check sed MAN
thank you
s12/foo/bar/g <-- changes 'foo' to 'bar' on line 12... or if it was 12s///f
-f +g
Using ubuntu 12.04 and finding it really difficult. Anyway I can stay with this OS, but use the entire feel of 10.04?

superfake123: Looks like lightdm
talpur: /usr or "user" (as in /home/$USER)

Hey, I was wondering what way I could calculate the free memory on my computer from command line? I know if I do "cat /proc/meminfo" it tells me I have about 134mb free, but if I run htop, it shows that I have 7059mb free. Is there a way to get the correct reading?
talpur: What do you need to do?
bkc_: "/usr"
p7ank5te7: free
p7ank5te7: free -m
usr13, when I do that, it's the same as meminfo.
usr13: I want to reach at "/usr/share/doc/cscope" through GUI
p7ank5te7: Yep.
Both gui and htop read the same, that's why I was like umm?
talpur: press Ctrl+L and you'll get an address-bar where you can type absolute paths in :)
ubottu: when searching the software center for "gnome-tweak-tool", it only shows me "Tweak advanced GNOME 3 settings".  Is this what you are referring to?
the way to calculate available memory is free + cached
Is it a known issue that Pidgin and Ubuntu One don't appear under the messaging indicator?
talpur: Use the GUI file manager
Sach: yes, that's what the wiki is refering to :)
bkc_: bundle of thanks
Hello I have a problem whit a c++ can sombady help me
talpur: no problem :)
talpur: How about a GUI terminal?  (What's wrong with that?)
Pidgin isn't integrated and I don't thin u1 has message capabilities
AndroUser2: what kinda problem?
dragos ^
fishscene: I recall in 12.04 that Pidgin, when installed, gained an entry in the messaging indicator; apparently that's not the case anymore?
Hmm.. I don't recall that happening to me pidgin has always operated independent of the integrated messaging system for me :S
bkc: I've installed the "gnome-shell" and "gnome-tweak-tool". But where do I find these applications?  Under Applications?
Whit an aassigment ..I have to set an array to add 3 positive numbers, but reject negative. It only let me put in a positive no. And add him 3 times
Sach: gnome-shell is a Desktop Environment
Is any whay sombady can take a look at this ting..give me a sugeation
usr13: so how do I use this environment once it is installed?
Each: if you log off, you should have a new environment option.
Sach: You should see option for it at the login screen.
Sach: I think......
dragos: this is a strict ubuntu support channel, I'd take your question to #c++ (and don't mention that it's a school assingment :P)
bkc_: Your giving away IRC secrets!
usr13: :P
Bck Haw can I talk whit u? I.m an a phone..at work..
I'm planning on getting a Nexus 4 in the near future. Is Ubuntu for Android supported on it?

How would I go about installing pygtk 2.14?  It's required for obkey and I'm a total newb.
Cold, you can search for it: "aptitude search (name here)"
...might have to install aptitude because it isn't there by default.
so...
fishscene: apt-cache search...
apt-get install aptitude?
ColdRush: try apt-cache search
...nowhere near as clean and nice as aptitude
fishscene: true, true
I used that, but honestly I have no idea what I'm looking for
Benefits of aptitude over apt?
Ok..it tel me that I need an invitation for #c++ . Any sugestion
It said I need pygtk 2.14, I don't see that anywhere
DaemonicApathy: aptitude is a client around apt
dragos: ##c++
Dragons, you need to register your irc nickname on freenode
coolstar: What benefit does it offer as such? I only use apt directly.
usr: I'm still unable to use the environment that I'm familiar with from 10.04.  I remember using a classic shell.  Do you know how I can get this back?
DaemonicApathy: I use apt directly too, ask fishscene
Can someone please help me out here...
usr13, isn't lightdm what ubuntu comes with by default?
If apt-cache works for you, then by all means, use it. But I prefer aptitude since the search output is so much easier for me to read and parse.
coldrush: sudo apt-get install synaptic
so basically I somehow just set it to default and lost the unity skin?
Ahh, understood. Thanks, fishscene.
then open synaptic and look for whatever dependency you need, and install :)
synaptic as in synaptic package manager?
thats already installed...
yeah, then open it
search for whatever file you need
right click it, click 'mark for installation' and then apply
I don't see it :/
Why do people have to be so vague, especially when they're making a utility for everyone to use.  Not everyone understands the lingo...
what do you need again?
I'm looking for pygtk 2.14, what do that translate to...
what for?
obkey
try installing pygtk-dev
Alright
er python-pygtk2-dev
Yeah I figured :P
:)
Never thought getting my brightness keys to work would be this big of a pita
lol
is this your first time installing/using linux?
I finally got keytouch working and theres a bug that prevents my brightness up from working
I use crunchbang on my server but I followed guides for that, I'm trying to use this lubuntu netbook as my daily machine though
It's been rough :(
ahh
i keep thinking about giving lxde a try
I'm afraid to run gnome, this is a single core atom
yeah
personally, i'm a fan of xfce in the light-weight category
i run xubuntu on my old desktop which my kids use :)
its my backup system when I screw up my laptop :p
Never tried it
ColdRush, I broke my brightness hotkeys by accident a few days ago. Here's a simple fix: http://askubuntu.com/questions/174770/is-there-a-way-to-set-a-hotkey-to-change-screen-brightness
I love xubuntu. Too bad the environment interferes and messes up unity.
really fishscene? hows it do that/
DaemonicApathy, would I be able to do that on a CR48?  I don't have fn or f# keys
:/
ColdRush: This is what I think of when I read 'gnome': http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tt5lB-RoAi4
they're all funky browser navs
Use whatever keys you want, once you have xdotool. The only catch is that you need the keycode for it.
I installed the xubuntu environment (forgot the name..) and logged in with it. Then logged in to unity. Half my indicators were from xubuntu interface and my shutdown splash was forever a weird mix of xubuntu and the unity shutdown splash
xbskid lol what am I watching
hi
using gnome classic in ubuntu 12.04. when I right click apps on my desktop panels (eg: weather) it only shows me "About".  I used to get many options on 10.04.  How do I get these options?
sorry for the distub and for the off topic i got a news for you: http://dpaste.com/833112
ColdRush: It's an animation by a guy who put out a few books under the 'Grickle' name; it was inspired by Norweigian legends of forest gnomes and spirits, and in turn inspired the Puzzle Agent games.
I'll have to watch these
Plus, I had two keyboard and two Bluetooth icons. Couldn't seem to de-duplicate them :/ anyway, I wiped it all clean and installed 12.10
sach: gnome "classic" is fallback mode
and not fully functional... it keeps getting worse and will be dropped completely shortly :(
ColdRush: Some personal favorites of mine: We Sing the Forest Electric, Smartest Dog in the World
DaemonicApathy does it matter that I am using lxde?
gonyere: yes, I know...
sach: what are you trying to do specifically?
ColdRush: Sasquatch is cute, and Santa's is good for the holidays. :P
ColdRush. Not that I know of. If you can find a solution simpler for you, though, awesome.
DaemonicApathy Well considering I can't even get these python thingys to run, I'm gonna try that
gonyere: trying to tweak my desktop panels. eg: add my dictionary app, system monitor graph, etc.
DaemonicApathy How do I find my keycodes?
sach: ahh, you'd probably be best off installing gnome-shell and looking for extensions to get things the way you want them
ColdRush: minor mistake on my part. If you use the Ubuntu settings to make the command, you can just hit the key combo you want for it. Mistook the command for the trigger for a minute.
DaemonicApathy I'm using lubuntu so I'm assuming I'll have issues
Lubuntu doesn't have a setting for keyboard shortcuts?
gonyere: yes, I've just installed gnome-shell.  In 10.04, I used to be able to right click on the desktop menu and see a whole lis of the apps.  This doesnt happpen with gnome-shell in 12.04
#info
sach: if your looking for a complete list of all installed apps
in gnome-shell (not fallback mode) go up to activities and then either click on 'applications' in 3.4 or
in 3.6 the bottommost spot in the left hand panel
DaemonicApathy Not that I know of
Is it just me or does Ubuntu 12 have a habit of forgetting global hotkeys?
I set Lock Screen to Super + L, and I'll hold Super and press L, and whatever window has focus thinks I'm just typing l.
i know theres an extension (though I'm currently drawing a blank) for a traditional drop-down applications menu beside 'activities' as well
And then I go to All Settings > Keyboard, and it's set correctly!
ColdRush: That's bothersome. Looks like you'd have to edit /home/<user>/.config/openbox/lxde-rc.xml manually. #lubuntu may be of more help to you. :-/
And then I reconfigure the hotkey and THEN it works.
xbskid: wee! Awesome vid :)
im looking to uninstall zeitgeist without trouble for unity, is there a solution already?
DaemonicApathy I was in there earlier and nobody ever talks...guess I didn't pick a great distro to work with haha
gonyere: I don't see Activities.  Where is this?
you need to be in gnome-shell not gnome-classic
has anyone here got 2 graphics nvidia cards working ; i've got a second card showing up as a seperate x-screen, but it doesn't seem to register as part of the desktop. I have multiple monitors in the first card, showing up as a large desktop with the screens positioned ok
NVIDIA X Server Settings - i see "X Screen 0" - with my working monitors - and "X Screen 1". "Enable Xinerama" is ticked
ColdRush: xfce is good...
yawns
usr13 do you think my media keys and stuff will work on an xfce remix?
Any one trying beta 13.10 ubuntu
ColdRush: I don't know about remix.  Nor do i know about your media keys.
man winehq is quiet
ColdRush: All I know is I'm very well satisfied with xfce
keytouch makes me want to smash my head in :(
lol
ColdRush: xfce is easy to configure and stay's out of your way.
then that would be a headtouch
xrandr only shows me outputs on the first graphics card.
why does my brightness up key only work when I press my brightness down...
its like its taunting me because it negates itself
never mind. 4 screens is enough, i dont need 6
Hello
im looking to uninstall zeitgeist without trouble for unity, is there a solution already?
wow so many times i try to download ubuntu and getting to work on a eeepc 1025c it WORKING

you really are lucky, this is the first time I am seeing so less traffic here :P
Hi, what's probably listening to 53 on a standard 12.10 install? I don't have bind.
lotuspsychje what pkg are installed dpkg -l |grep zeit then purge it like sudo apt-get purge libzeitgeist-1.0-1 python-zeitgeist zeitgeist-core .Just make sure you are using ie 1.0.1
th3j35t3r:you sure it wont conflict unity? cause somebody told me yesterday it might corrupt the new search in dash
I attempted to clone the main HD from my music server using Clonezilla. Something went very wrong and most of my 250GB of music is gone from those two drives. Thankfully I still have a third drive with a current copy of the music.
I need to clone this drive without another disaster - I only have the one last HD with a full back up.
th3j35t3r: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1369379/
I guess I am also warning people about using Clonezilla. I've used it for years without a problem. But this . . . I will never use it again.
lotuspsychje: or you could just disable it in Privacy settings
lotuspsychje it might turn off logging. Then check if the deamon is running  ps -ef |grep zeit then remove the possibility to rw to activity.sqlite  chmod -rw ~/.local/share/zeitgeist/activity.sqlite
xangua:i dont like history in my system, i been able to remove zeitgeist without trouble on previous
hi, quick question.  I'm shopping for a pci network adapter (wireless and wired) for my desktop, and I want one that works out-of-the-box with ubuntu.  Any tips?
google it
nolpek:theres an ubuntu page for supported wifi cards
heoyea, thank you so much, you rock.
lotuspsychje, I've checked that page, and I bought one which was listed as supported but in fact was not.
nolpek:some cards might need a tweak like firmware download
lotuspsychje, exactly, and I'm shopping for a card which doesn't need a tweek.
He wants one that works out-of-the-box..
nolpek: i bought sitecome usb adapter and linksys pci recently, the both worked flawless on ubuntu
ok, thx.  I'll check it out
nolpek:what brand did you buy that not work?
nolpek that "google it" is noob talk for "I dont know and I want others to think I badass. Are you going to be doing injection with it? I really like the Alfa AWUS036H (Realtek RTL8187).
ActionParsnip: you know a clean way to remove zeitgeist without messing up unity?
nolpek: try ##hardware aswell
lotuspsychje: just use the privacy config app to make it monitor nothing
ActionParsnip: i completly removed zeitgeist with purge on 12.04.1
lotuspsychje,   "Netgear WNA 3100 N-300"  is what didn't work for me.
fishscene: i tryed to add zeitgeist info to the bot, but nobody change yet..
lotuspsychje if you remove the rw from activity.sqlite you should be OK. hmod +rw ~/.local/share/zeitgeist/activity.sqlite
Lol. Yea... he is ignorant of that package.
lotuspsychje: so where is the issue if it's gone?
lotuspsychje then remove like this dpkg -l |grep zeit
lotuspsychje then sudo apt-get purge libzeitgeist-1.0-1 python-zeitgeist zeitgeist-core
so here is the link describing the difficulty installing  the wireless adapter:  http://furiouspurpose.me/linux-and-the-wna3100-wireless-adapter/
and here is the ubuntu page which lists it as "plug and play": https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HardwareSupportComponentsWirelessNetworkCardsNetgear#USB
lotuspsychje just make sure you use what you see in dpkg -l|grep zeit
ok ill try
nolpek are you going to be using programs like Rever etc or just "surf"
Can anyone help me clone a 250GB hard drive that is not the computer's main drive?
reaver sry
Actually, I just need to copy a 500GB partition - which is half full.
well, I'll be just "surfing" i suppose....i dont expect to be doing anything advanced with my internet configuration.
th3j35t3r:cool mate purge worked, its uninstalling all plugins and activity-log-manager
now the final test reboot lol
lotuspsychje yup
gmachine_24: could use rsync. If the partition is a system partition which you are booted to, you will need to use a liveCD
nolpek then I would go for speed if you dont care about pen testing. Medialink - Wireless N USB Adapter - 802.11n
nolpek works out of the box
th3j35t3r, thanks
nolpek but I am a Alfa nut. If you can get hold of this one. Also works right out of the box  Alfa AWUS050NH
exit
i'd love to check these out, but surfing websites is hit-or-miss with my internet connection.  which is  strange because irc works fine
nolpek I would turn off IPv6. I really might help.
nolpek: have you tried a different browser?
nolpek: are you using wireless?
nolpek I use Iceweasel.
why is handbrake available on xubuntu 32bit, but not 64bit in the software center? i tried to install from the shell and it fail on 64bit, but works on 32bit
ActionParsnip,  no. i haven't tried a different browser.  and both wireless and wired have this issue.  and several other devices have no such problem
(2 laptops and 2 iphones )
xubu: what are you using handbrake for? There may be a 64bit alternative
what is the alternative?
nolpek: what wifi chip are you using?
is there a crunchbang like openbox ubuntu out there besides madbox?
xubu: well, what are you using the app to achieve??
converting all video to mp4
th3pun15h3r: install openbox on Ubuntu and use that as your session....
xubu I wrote a program that will compile ffmpeg from git if you care. Might still work. A bit dated http://pastebin.com/NHXrsBxm

xubu: ffmpeg and mencoder can do that....
nolpek: what driver module does it use?
th3j35t3r: thanks, i'll give it a try
th3j35t3r: (@openbox) the slimest ubundu-deriv that I know of that has some support is Lubuntu, otherwise you're pretty much on your own :/
ActionParsnip,  i don't know what to look for in lsmod
nolpek: sudo lshw -C network
anyone know of rutilt
i set a option on it to start on tray, and now it doesn't work anymore
xubu: that's the other way, let me re-search

asilhouette give me a few min. Ill write you a program. You can pick the finished size etc.
asilhouette: have you checked out wicd?

I installed Ubuntu Server to a USB HDD, using a VM. I've now tried it on two (real) computers, and on both, after GRUB, I get just a blank black screen. Ctrl-Alt-Fn does nothing. What gives?
both wicd-cli and wicd-gtk does :)
nolpek: Try:    sudo iwconfig wlan0 rate 54M
ActionParsnip, i dont know the difference between module and driver.
i thought i just showed them in percentage
nolpek: there isn't one
and you have to refresh everytime
haha ok
ActionParsnip, does that throttle the card?
(the iwconfig rate command)
roothorick: looked at syslog?
nolpek: should make it run at the right speed
bkc_: anything i can do to get rutilt to work again
asilhouette: do you know anything about programming?
abit ya
sure, download the source and happy hacking :)
lol, k
any simple method to get it working now.
i've installed kde, after selecting it from the ubuntu/gnome login screen, it seems to permanently boot up with this now instead of asking me what session i want .. is there a way to recover the session menu ?
nolpek: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/HP_ProBook_4320s#WLAN   seems to use the same chip
there should be a value or something i can configure
doomlord__: logout, decide what you actually want to log into, then fix what ever you did
asilhouette: There's no evidence that it has been updated too work with the new 3.x kernel, and if it has there is nothing to indicate that it has been tested
doomlord__: sounds like you got autologin enabled
xubu what codec would you like this program to use?
but why does it have a quantal repository bkc_
asilhouette: and that's just the part that sticks out :)
asilhouette: no idea, install it and try it, don't expect it to work thou :)
bkc_: it has been working till yesterday, i turned on a option. :(
on quantal
then turn it off o.O
can't the gui won't load
xubu its done. http://pastebin.com/u/Onryo the one posted 2 min ago.
i tried searching for configuration files, there seems to be none
turn it off in in the config
there isn't a config file
there are. if it's not in the manual then download the source and look for a reference to it :)
asilhouette: un-install it
almoxarife: did that, didnt' work
almoxarife: might not work thou, depending on how the deb-packet is packaged :)
almoxarife: i want the session menu to appear first. the menu where you can choose between ubuntu, ubuntu 2d etc. whats it called ? i dont recall enabling autologin; i was able to switch between different options prior to selecting kde
k guys i might look into source
:)
doomlord__: if you are going right into session then you are 'autologin'
asilhouette: look for the process in /etc/init.d/ if its a root process
almoxarife: already did that, not there
it doesnt require root privileges
asilhouette: was it installed via deb/apt/synaptic ?
ya almoxarife
asilhouette: use synaptic to find it, un-install it there
did that also, and reinstalled, no luck
asilhouette: no luck at what?
can anyone help me with a question?
uninstalling with synaptic with configurations, then i reinstalled, but it stayed the same
raider6d: with details, maybe
ActionParsnip: can you help me with paunchpad?
asilhouette: of course it stays the 'same' you re-installed it, it wont change its behavior
i'm downloading ubuntu 12.10.. i already had it on my computer. but i needed windows so i had to reinstall that.. i'm downloading ubuntu onto a flashdisk right now.. anyway i can setup dual boot?
so what should i've done almoxarife?
asilhouette: its not windoz
almoxarife: ok. :)
...without partitioning?
ActionParsnip: i have uploaded a package in ppa but i did delete it, now i cant upload a new one, i get an email saying the upload failed, how can now see the package version-release of the deleted package to be sure im uploading an incremented release of that package?
will i have to start from scratch or delete windows and than reinstall both?
Hello guys, I found this off of Ubuntu's support section, I'm trying to install Ubuntu 10.4 over Fedora 17 and I mounted the .iso via terminal, but I don't know how to make it run, can someone please help?
simplew: I'd ask in #launchpad
asilhouette did the way showed you remove zietg? No issues to Unity?
ActionParsnip: i did
raider6d: you can resize your NTFS in windows and install to the freed space (recommended by me) or you can install via Wubi
wolfygang: make a live cd or a live usb
I put the .iso on a cd also but I can't boot from it
okay.. thank you. should i give them equal space?
wolfygang: 10.4? why
To compile ROMs on Android
All the guides are for 10.4
wolfygang you using CM10 with eclipse to dev?
No, I'm trying to compile a custom kernel for the Viper, but Fedora just isn't working.
raider6d: Ubuntu doesn't need too much space. Give it 15Gb and you'll be fine. You can store your user data on the NTFS to accommodate your WIndows OSes lack of Ext4 support
Hi, is there a problem with ubuntu installation on 3TB disks?
sad that codeworkX left the CM10 project over the Exynos4 SoC. He has some skills.
wonderful.. thanks a bunch
Hey atleast you have CM10 lol, our device has no Roms yet or kernels, can't be overclocked and no CWM:P
wolfygang: take it to android talk
Sorry, I just want to know a terminal command to run this .ISO I mounted.
wolfygang: you have an iso, it needs to be run off cd/usb to do anything worthwhile
sudo mount filename.iso /media/iso -t iso9660 -o loop
woob
woob
woob
but make sure you have a mnt point
has anyone tried elementary LUNA OS based on ubuntu?
lua?
Cowsquad #elementary
cowsquad: and lastly, no!
Ok, I have the .ISO on a CD, but when I try to boot from a CD I get a
people..is there way to globally set unity icon launcher size?
"Selected Boot Device Not Available"
wolfygang: how did you put the ISO on the USB?
excalibr: you can set it on Appearence i believe
Action: 1 second
Windows disc image burner
xangua: hmm?
anyone help with my lamp please, phpinfo shows loaded: mod_rewrite
wolfygang: did you MD5 test the iSO you downloaded?
ibodi: nginx?
Why cant the "google it hipsters cut the "google it or RTFM" its screams "I too just started using GNU/Linux and a nerd.
.htaccess: RewriteEngine onRewriteRule ^foo/(.*)$ abc.php?id=$1
wolfygang: the in built Windows CD burner is rubbish, I suggest you use something else
excalibr nginx really is nice
excalibr: apache
excalibr ligter and faster then Apache.
 Hi! I'm not able to get x11vnc working after recent update. I've reconfigured dm for kdm over lightdm and here are the working, failed attempts - http://paste.ubuntu.com/1367286/ . What am I missing in the command?
excalibr: tested working exactly same, with godaddy
Do I burn the contents inside the .iso to a cd or the .iso itself?
excalibr: but not working in my localhost
I am trying to setup the partitions for a webserver, most of my files will be in /var/www. During the partitioning step of the installation, should I use /var/www as the mounting point and allocate 2.5TB to it?
wolfygang: the ISO itself, there is no extraction at all
or /var
wolfygang: http://infrarecorder.org/   use that, burn the ISO and burn as slowly aspossible
wolfygang: sounds like you extracted the files then used a junk burner to make the CD, this will not work
th3j35t3r: hipsters :) ,
I burned the .iso itself on the cd. If I open up the cd I can see the .iso file
anyone ?
wolfygang: you see a file with the .iso extension?
also be sure to run md5sum
Yes, it has the .iso extension is that my problem ?
wolfygang: that's why
wolfygang: problem, yes, and wont boot, thats obvious though
jrib: cat /var/log/installer/syslog | grep "user-setup"
wolfygang: you burned the file, rather than burning the ISO as an ISO which would give all the files in the ISO on the CD when you opened it
guys i want to write a replacement for gnome-screensaver. where can i find the docs for that??
* KLined6 is Away: Auto Away: Idle 12m ..[kl6.0]..
wolfygang: mainly because the windows burner is junk
almoxarife =)
wolfygang: install infrarecorder and you can burn the ISO as it is supposed to be burned, burn as slowly as possible
AHH, it has disc image burner in its name. Ok well im an idiot, thank you.
wolfygang: yes, you have a CD with 1 file, it should have lots of files
So the burning program should basically be extracting the files itself to a CD?
wolfygang: yes, its all handled for you
wolfygang: look at the iso as a zip, kinda sorta, you copied the zip, you didnt expand it
wolfygang: just give it the ISO and tell it to burn as slowly as possible and it will all work
can anyone help me with rsync, i want to copy everything except upload dir and config.php. how do i do that?
k1ng: there is the option:      --exclude=PATTERN
Which write method should I use?
ActionParsnip: i use k3b, should i be forcing the burn into something slower? for install discs
ActionParsnip, can you help me write the pattern please?
wolfygang: whatever is default is fine
Thank you
k1ng: do you have a desktop UI?
no i do not
its a server
vivid in here?
sleeping?
k1ng: gotcha, there may e examples online. I'm a little tied up
dumba
it worked! thank you guys
is there a channel on working with Apple hardware?

Hello all ! Got a question...  Is there a way to rename a batch of files spread over many dirs and subdirs and remove the "." from their name without affecting files? like this.is.the.name.of.dir1 and I want it to be this-is-the-name-of-dir1
alien2050, dir-names or file-names?
only dirs, not files
makara: libimobiledevice, libirecovery, ideviceactivate ... now go google it ^.^
alien2050: there is a batch renamer if memory serves
alien2050: cli or gui?
I was thinking maybe some sed magic
alien2050: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/gprename-complete-batch-renamer-for-linux.html
cli if possible
for gui there's xfce-rename-batch
alien2050: I'd ask in #bash too
cli, use for-loops and awk :)
hmmm how would awk help me
alien2050, combine "find" and "mv" I guess...    something like: "find . -type d -iname '*.*' -exec rename 's/\./\-/g' {} -n \; "
alien2050, not "mv" but "rename" I meant. And be careful. Make a backup before that.
* ActionParsnip bows to rumpe1's blackbelt bashfu
ActionParsnip, it's like cooking :D
sejo: sed is short for Simple EDitor, it's a file-editor, awk is a perl runner, :)
looks nice thx rumpe1!!!!
alien2050, the "-n" for rename is for having a test-/dry-run. Remove the "-n" if you feel sure about it.
great thx!
Magiobiwan, had a go at ##apple. Seems like their corporate outpost.
hey i just installed 10.04 on my hp laptop as a dual boot and having issues getting wifi to work.lp?  i read some of the forum threads but was unable to get it working.  anyone mind trying to he
jdpeck: why such an ancient release?
jdpeck: Lucid has about 6 months support left, so why bother with it?
its going to be used for android stuff and thats what some developers said to use as it works better than 12 with android
jdpeck: try 12.04
jdpeck: I suggest a new install of Precise and it will be supported til APril 2017
jdpeck: Lucid has such old versions of everything, its hard to make newer stuff work with it
I have always used 10.04 for android system and 12.04 for android apps
While I mount windows partitions with nautilus its worked but from command line mount says only root can do that
i will give 12 a shot
How to mount ntfs partition with normal user? just like nautilus do
MiteshShah, that is correct, you need to use sudo as well as mount from terminal
mechdave: it would be for system
jdpeck: i think 12.04 is much polished than any other ubuntu release.....
Mechdave:  yes I know that but I need to setup another ntfs partition for end user and they hates cli so I wonder how nautilus can do that things
jdpeck, I have had trouble with 12.04 with getting the compilation to work with the android source. I know the guys here say 12.04 for everything but personally I have had nothing but trouble when it comes to compiling android on it. If set up correctly 10.04 works well
MiteshShah, you need to add the permission to the user account to allow them to auto mount the partition. Or you could modify the /etc/fstab file to include a permission for that user
MiteshShah: add it in /etc/fstab and add the option:   user     and your users can mount the partition
Mechdave: /dev/sda4       /media/Storage  ntfs-3g defaults        0       0
mechdave: that is what I have heard.  I won't be building roms or anything but more themes.  I might see if eris can help me out since he recommended it
Mechdave: ActionParsnip  can you give me which user I need to add
thanks for the input
MiteshShah, try adding user in where defaults is as well
MiteshShah: user     is the word to add, its not an actual user, it's the word itself
jdpeck, No worries :) Good luck with it all
MiteshShah: /dev/sda4       /media/Storage  ntfs-3g gid=1000,rw,user        0       0                      may do it
MiteshShah: it will mount at boot, you can add the mount point to the bookmarks for easy access.
ActionParsnip: Already done setting up mount points

when I ping ubuntu, if I get "TTL=64", I can use the telnet,ftp,ssh,vnc,if I get "TTL=255", I can't use them connect ubuntu under XP, who know the reason?
Who knows about keying login passwords with usb devices?
is it a firewall issue?
kevin: so you are trying to connect to Ubuntu from an XP system?
anybody could help me? thanks in advance
yes
kevin: are they on the same network?
yes , the same network section
XP:192.168.1.10, ubuntu:192.168.1.11
kevin: did you configure a firewall on Ubuntu?
after installing the ubuntu, I only use "sudo ufw enable 192.168.1.10".
ssh xterm gets 'can't open display localhost:12.0', connecting to server from a client with xforwarding enabled putty,  /etc/ssh/ssh(d)_config both have x11forwarding/x11forward enabled, I can connect to a different server with putty and it works fine and if I connect from the 3rd computer I also get the same error so I think the problem is server side. Are there any debug logs for this type of thing? ssh/x forwarding?
the issue is still there without set the ufw.
kevin: is it ok if you don't run that command?
no , the same issue
aaas: what OS are you SSHing from?
kevin: You don't need an IP for "enable"
ActionParsnip ubuntu and windows 8
aaas: on Windows8, do you have an X server (like xming) installed and running?
kevin: You sure you're not mistaking "enable" for "allow" ?
ActionParsnip yes, and when i connect to the other ubuntu server it works fine
sorry, it is allow, not enable
aaas: on the Ubuntu system, did you connect using:   ssh -X -C username@server
kevin: Right, that's not how you allow an IP.
ActionParsnip yes but I"ll try again to make sure
kevin: You can 'allow' ports, not IPs like that.
aaas: both are capitalized
kevin: Check your rules with: sudo ufw status verbose
ActionParsnip yes same thing
Hi all, friend's got a broadcom BCMM4322 wireless card that has a button for ON OFF. It's stuck on OFF any way to make it turn on w/out the button itself working?
Guest80838: try:   sudo rfkill unblock all
Guest80838: is the system a dual boot?
aaas: if another system works, compare the sshd_config    files
ActionParsnip:  apparently he's running it off a USB
Guest80838: running what?
@jpds, Anywhere ALLOW IN 192.168.1.10
ActionParsnip: Ubuntu. He says running via livecd the wireless works?
192.168.1.10 is for XP
ActionParsnip diff shows the same except for one change I just made so that I could get x2go to try and connect
Guest80838: then run:  sudo lshw -C network   and check the driver module loaded and such
aaas: if you undo that change, is it ok?
ActionParsnip just tried no
jpds ?
jpds: I check the ufw command, I get "Anywhere ALLOW IN 192.168.1.10"
aaas: try:  echo $DISPLAY      on one that works, and onne that doesn't and compare
i have downloaded 12.10 version from the site. currently I have 12.04. is there any way I can upgrade it offline without fresh installation???
 jpds: I check the ufw command, I get "Anywhere ALLOW IN 192.168.1.10"
kevin: And if you disable the firewall, with ufw disable - the connection works?
ActionParsnip one is 10 and the other is 12 (or 13 if connecting to the other computer0
arulmoz: sure, you can boot to the 12.10 CD and there will be an upgrade option
when i try to resize my btrfs partion (have installed btrfs-tools),it says ---> "http://pastebin.com/JeBXcZwJ"
aaas: try exporting the variable to the working value and try then
http://pastebin.com/JeBXcZwJ
ActionParsnip: can I mount the ISO file.. without need of a cd??
I have configured my system to successfully use a usb flash drive to be required to log into my computer, but I had to modify a script manually.  I am looking for a GUI software that would allow me to configure pamusb
connection doesn't work either
ActionParsnip, looks like it sees the card but it's disabled? http://pastebin.com/WCD46BQ7
arulmoz: could use a USB storage / SD card....
Guest80838: did you try unloading b43-pci-bridge and b43, then loading b43
ActionParsnip: thanx... I was looking for a way not to use external devices.. but anyway nice to hangout with ubuntu community bye
arulmoz: if you mount the ISO, there may bean upgrade script in it's root
ActionParsnip: haven't tried much at all myself. I am not too familiar with commands etc to resolve this and I'm not in front of the machine unfortunately
arulmoz: I don't upgrade  so its not something I've ever had to bother with. I always clean install for an easier life
ActionParsnip yeah still nothing.... three things I have changed in the past few days are getting postfix to forward mail...maybe something with .ssh folder? and changing the x11 driver to 'dummy'  (this is headless) and making a script so that it would hibernate when idle for 1 hour (pm-hibernate), I'll try changing mving .ssh and maybe the video driver, but I'm running out of ideas
Guest80838: sudo modprobe -r b43-pci-bridge b43; sleep 2; sudo modprobe b43
Guest80838: simply resigning to 'not too familiar with commands' won't help you learn
jpds: any other ways?
kevin: Then it's not a firewall problem.
ActionParsnip: definitely agree with that mate. anything your showing me I am copying to read up on later for sure.
aaas: does the X forwarding fail on all OSes and only this one server?
jpds:do you have any ideas about this issue?
ActionParsnip only the one server
ActionParsnip: says "FATAL: Module b43_pci_bridge not found" hmmm
aaas: you could remove and purge openssh-server then reinstall it to get default settings (may need a local system visit rather than remote (smarthands)
Guest80838: try unloading then reloading b43
ActionParsnip yes ill try that tomorrow if these other things dont work (it's headless and it's is a real pain to hook a monitor up to it)
aaas: I wouldn't take the head off it til it is 100% setup
ActionParsnip it was 100% setup, this is a new problem after being up for 78 days
aaas: i see
ActionParsnip: Nothing like purging ssh remotely.
when I ping the same ubuntu, why is the TTL value always different? if often change from 64 to 255.
wtf
why cant i register my nick
I guess I can reigster my nick only for 1 irc server?
Shiva: it may already be owned
Shiva: ask in #freenode for registering help :)
ahhh jeezzz kk
Shiva: you'd register it for the network (freenode) not just one server
* aaas decided to temporarly install a telnet server in order to purge ssh ....what a mess :/ 
ActionParsnip: no dice. I think I'm going to need to be in front of the machine. Thanks for the help, much appreciated .
hi everybody!!
hi ms_
ms_, i see you're on all the popular channels ;)
how to find a file called just "foobar", but not foobar01, and especially a file but not a directory. I used locate foobar but it shows me manythings which I don't search.
ms_: did you run:  sudo updatedb   first?
lifelike, :)
ms_: you can then run:  locate foobar | grep -v foobar-1
oops
ms_: you can then run:  locate foobar | grep -v foobar01
ms_: will show all folders and files with 'foobar' in but not 'foobar01'
ActionParsnip, ok thanks you, thank you, thank you :)
ms_: locate -b -r '^foobar$'
hello, I forgot my password for remote server, i can still login by ssh without password. any way can i reset my password
Mukhthar: how do you mean 'remote server'?
Mukhthar: do you mean the password you connect to SSH with?
ms_: Though that will still show directories named "foobar".
i have a vps
Mukhthar: you can run:  passwd     and set your password of the user you are right now
Mukhthar: you can see what that is with:  whoami
ActionParsnip: it is prompting for current password, which i donot remember
Mukhthar: then you will need to be another user with sudo access, or root
Jordan_U,  thank you. :)
ms_: You're welcome.
ActionParsnip:  root login disabled, i am the user with root privilage.
Mukhthar: so the root account is locked down?
:)
ActionParsnip : unfortunately yes
Mukhthar: could try:   sudo -i    see if the sudo grace period is still active
Mukhthar: if you get a hash prompt,you are in :)
ActionParsnip : nope, prompt for password.
Mukhthar: gah, then you'll need someone local to reset the password for you
ActionParsnip : oops, this means i have locked myself.  no local help.  Any tips for backup so that i can reinstall it remotely
Mukhthar: backup of what?
ActionParsnip : back up of system
Mukhthar: why do you not already have one?
ActionParsnip:  i have the backup of /home /var and /etc is this enough
ActionParsnip: while some files we left out from /var and /etc for previlage reasons
Mukhthar: not sure, maybe your VPS provider can advise
ActionParsnip : okay, thank you :)
Where can I see why service mysql start fails?
invariant: /var/log/mysql/error.log
somsip, it is /var/log/mysql.err and no, it does not contain a reason.
invariant: depending what you're running, you may find that /var/log/mysql.err is empty and never gets written to
no one has root access for a properly designed operating system
somsip, yes, it is empty.
no one has ship access for a properly designed ship operating system
srj001, but it should log somewhere when it doesn't even start.
invariant: so, does /var/log/mysql/error.log exist and is it not empty?
srj001: i hear that all the time but don't quite see why, 'sudo -i' exists
srj001: you can run:   sudo -i   and effectively become root.
ubottu, exists, but empty.
ActionParsnip: hah
somsip, exists but empty.
invariant: is this from startup or when you start it manually?
somsip, manually using startup scripts.
invariant: you could try enabling the general_error_log in /etc/mysql/my.cnf but it shouldn't really be required. I run mysql on a few servers from 10.* to 12.04 and error logging has always worked out of the box
somsip, the rootfs is full apparently.
invariant: that'll do it
Only GUI
somsip, still, completely ridiculous that it doesn't write anything to stdout.
somsip, stderr
not console
invariant: uninstall unused kernels will help. As well as:  sudo apt-get clean
invariant: we live and learn. You've learned to df -h when services don't start up as expected...
Unable to install ubuntu 10.10 in Dell Optiplex 390 System. Can anyone help me pls??
invariant: if you're strapped for space such on many wubi installs check for caches that might be outside your radar. in your home folder "du -h | grep [0-9]GB" can be interesting -- sometimes my imaps take up ridiculous amounts of space if i don't watch for example.
karthick87: Ubuntu 10.10 has long since reached its end of life. Try installing a supported version of Ubuntu, like 12.04 LTS or 12.10.
nydel, I already know where the lost space comes from.
nydel, I just have to introduce a symbolic link somewhere and move some data.
invariant: space is space, is all i mean.
karthick87: I'd go for Precise, it is supported til April 2017
karthick87: or go for Quantal for shorter support but the latest bells and whistles
hi...i wanna resize btrfs partition from precise pangolin
killer: I'd do it from a liveCD if the partition is the one you are booted to
ActionParsnip: I think the problem is because of video card is not supported.. Any help for installing ubuntu 10.10 im Dell Optiplex 390 will be appreciated beacause our software supports only version 10.10. We have more than 900 ubuntu desktops all are running ubuntu 10.10. Now we have purchased new Desktops with recent configurations, there we are not able to install ubuntu 10.10..
ActionParsnip: for how long technically is pre-precise i.e. lucid supported?
karthick87: its not supported in any way
hello, i need change resolution in Ubuntu Live CD 12.10 ?

is desktop pc
lovre: /tmp should be 777
arp-: do you have web access in the liveCD?
nvidia geforce 7000
lovre: "sudo chmod 755 /tmp" should change that how ikonia said it should be.
*777
no it won't
777 /tmp will
um
ikonia: oops, you are right. sorry for stupid question, i seen user root, and presumed its limited :( sorry!
yes, in console
lovre: not a problem
ikonia: thanx!
or mount local hd
Is Supertux being actively developed?
arp-: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install nvidia-current
arp-: you can then run:  killall -u $USER    and log back in and get a good res :)
um
Richard_Cavell: i hope so lol
arp-: can you drop the 'um', its completely redundant
ah
ok
sorry  for my bad english
ikonia: /tmp/ should be 1777 (the sticky bit is important for security).
i speack spanish
Jordan_U: very true
a good catch
lol
hmm what is 1777?
diff 1777 777, i mean?
thank for your help, try install nvidia drivers.
good bye
arp-: you're welcome here and good luck
ActionParsnip: yes, the filesystem is mounted rw, yes. it is btrfs in lvm in md raid, system is one filesystem. (rw,subvol=@) is the full options
nydel: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sticky_bit
lovre: Hopefully you haven't actually used chmod on /tmp/ yet (if you have, we'll need to make sure that it gets set back to the correct value).
mightyiam: oh softraid.....
Jordan_U: thanks this is kind of important isn't it lol
Jordan_U: i didnt, since it was allready on drwxrwxrwt
Jordan_U: why is the last rwt and not rwx?
ActionParsnip: yup, i doubt that's the issue, though, right? why would such a low level thing have such a specific affect?
lovre: excuse the botched advice
nydel: not a problem
mightyiam: no idea, software raid is nasty though
lovre: i believe the rwt distinguishes that only the owner may delete or rename files.
nydel: i see. thanks :)
ActionParsnip: perhaps it is nasty but i'm nastier :)
ActionParsnip: i don't wanna go there, anyway. would you have an idea as to where i can look further?
mightyiam: no idea dude, maybe others can advise
ActionParsnip: thankssssss
Hey
anyone here care to offer some assistance perhaps?
dylan: ask and see
ahh allright.
well! i'd like to remove the "full-disk encryption" feature for my ubuntu 12.10
i diddnt know what it was when i installed, and now its only anoying.
and it causes my computer to not be able to start-up right.
so, any advice?
ActionParsnip: you're so cool. you actually tried to help already with this issue: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-control-center/+question/208473
dylan: that is... some technical work, i'm almost sure there isn't a push-button way to disable encryption
i figured as much :/ but im fairly good with my computer-knowledge. so even technical help i should be able to get it :)
but if there isnt a way im sure i can find one >:I
dylan: i can tell you the theory as i'm not familiar with whole disk encryption
alrighty
dylan: I can imagine that this still applies, though it is old so it's possibly out of date http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1543141
hah! well that sucks
time to sort through some system files and mess with my libs >:D
thanks for the help!
:)
dylan: np. Try to second-source info to the contrary, but I think it';s a one-way thing
will do
 The Asguard Rassmussen managed to obtain ubuntu including all the source code for the entire Asguard fleet, along with the Tok'ra

elvano_: what video chip do you use?
elvano_: what is the output of:   lsb_release -sc
A very good question, ActionParsnip... . The output is 'precise'

I found online that the Graphic adapter is Intel Graphics Media Accelerator (GMA) 3600, ActionParsnip. Commandline output: VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Atom Processor D2xxx/N2xxx Integrated Graphics Controller

Well, I've vhad some issues with installing xubuntu/lubuntu since both didn't find a display for desktop mode, ActionParsnip
elvano_: try the boot option: nomodeset
i know that installing windows before ubuntu is easy as pie. What about ubunut before windows? Any major issues?
brandon420: you have to reinstall grub after that
brandon420: thats all
brandon420: you will need to manually add Grub back to the MBRas the windows installer will blicndly overwrite the MBR with its own crappy bootloader
I have to do this while at the grub's selection, ActionParsnip ?
elvano_: yes, you add it in Grub before the kernel boots
ice799, ActionParsnip this can be done from a live usb?
brandon420: yes, use a chroot from live USB
Alright,I'll give it a try. I'll be back. @ ActionParsnip

hello
Good evening
I'm not really managing it, ActionParsnip ...
ActionParsnip: sorry, lost connection ....  is there a way of upgrading the kernel to 3.6 - 3.7?
hi i try to use usb webcam,i try cheese and vlc both are failure,cheese opened but nothing is open on display screen
what is thr problem
zone: lack of light?
ct529: 3.7 is a Raring kernel
zone: run:   lsusb    you will see an 8 character hex ID. Use that to find guides
auronandance,no i have enough light around my system and when try with vlc it shows some error notification even my neighboring system working with camera successfully
so none of my windows have exit or minimize buttons anymore
help?
I don't know, but someone who did would probably ask you if you've changed anything recently.
jen_: what is the output of: lsb_release -sc
oneiric
jen_: do you use compiz (desktop effects etc)?
ActionParsnip, yes...haha thats when it started
jen_: what do you mean?
hello, how can I find out how much voltage and current is on my usb-ports?
ActionParsnip, I was just messin with the settings earlier then I realized I didn't have exit or minimize buttons on my windows x-x
I've booted with the nomodeset option, ActionParsnip . What should it do?
hi all. why cant i access a samba share by typing smb://ip_address/myFolder -> i get error: Failed to mount Windows share.
jen_: press ALT+F2 and run:  metacity --replace
elvano_: disables kernel mode setting
elvano_: make the video a bit more stable
lovre: what is the output of:  lsb_release -sc
ActionParsnip, can I just run it in a terminal?
ActionParsnip: yes, but is it possible to backport it to 12.10?
ActionParsnip: or has anyone done so already?
so basicly installing Xubuntu might work with this option, ActionParsnip ?
jen_: sure but you will need the terminal running all the time. You can try it in terminal
elvano_: sure, it doesn't need 3D stuff like Ubuntu does
ActionParsnip, what do you mean running all the time?
Thanks, ActionParsnip
ct529: if you can find debs, sure. It won't be supported here though. Mixing kernels from other releases is not advised nor supported
any1 has any info about upcoming perl update?
i need a coder
//sdflk/exit
It will probably break everything...
Evil_Eric, in what language
bash
hi there
Evil_Eric, that's not coding but without arguing what's your question
you can also try #linux for bash coding
or #bash
so guys, i would like to know if it is normal for ubuntu to have ~30kbps of HDD writes when idling /out any process going on
there's a channel for bash coders? god im going to laugh at them for not being able to code in a real language, brb
andrea_: try iotop
alon: why, bash is great :)
ActionParsnip: precise
lovre: if you use the network option from nautilus, can you access it there ok?
ActionParsnip: i dont use nautilus, i use thunar. when i try to go to network folder (at least i think thats the one), i get "Failed to retrieve share list from server."
lovre: if you run:  smbtree     in terminal, do you see the shares?
ActionParsnip: No, for this server there is no tree. for others yes. How do i provide username and pass when accessing with smb://some_ip ?
hiya ActionParsnip
lovre: when you connect to it with the file browser usually, or you can set it in /etc/fstab
okay will unnstalling compiz get rid of my problem...since that doesnt work at all
Yes.
auronandace when i try with vlc it shows ,Your input can't be opened: VLC i s unable to open the MRL'v4l2:///dev/video0'.check the log for details
will getting rid of compiz solve me problems?
lovre: if you run:    smbclient //server/share -U user%password       (changing as you need), do you see the shares?
zone: did you try te hex ID as I advised?

looking for package killswitch-applet for ubuntu LTS
bye, I found a solution
ActionParsnip: looking for python tray applet
GAH! How do I get gnome-terminal to not use "ANSIXblahblah" as encoding, but the one listed in my LC_*/LANG variables set in /etc/locale.conf?
how can i easily rename a bunch of files?
killswitch itself is dependency of applet of course and killswitch is installed by default
brandon420: mmv
stobix, explain?
mnice: like this: http://www.webupd8.org/2012/03/jupiter-applet-officially-switches-to.html
thx ActionParsnip
mnice: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=python%20killswitch%20tray%20applet&kp=-1    too hard?
mnice: not a particularly technical search, its using the exact words you used.....
ActionParsnip: not too hard .. i wanted to use bot here specifically
brandon420: ah, sorry. If you have a bunch of names like "hello-foo-1", "meh-foo-2" and so on, you can easily rename them to "hello-bar-1", "meh-bar-2" and so forth. What is it you want to do more exactly? A simple terminal for loop could also be helpful.
mnice: its not an official package, so ubottu won't find it
yeah, i see
so plan B == DDG ;)
How can i see if i have JRE installed?
bdi: depends
mnice, ?
bdi: dpkg -l | grep -i jre
or it might not came from package but from some custom tgz or installer
mnice, no output from that command
but official oracle jre is always /usr/java
mnice, also there us no /usr/java
bdi: so you have not jre installed as .deb package - that's with sure
how do i install jre?
bdi: show us output from: dpkg -l | egrep -i java\|jre\|jdk
* mnice smells that some paste here is about to happen :P
http://bin.cakephp.org/view/980784492
mnice, ^
bdi: so you don't have installed any kind of JRE|JDK (oracle | openjdk) .. use please apt-get or aptitude to isntall that

Hi, will ubuntu ever clean up it's old kernels?
freakynl: no
ActionParsnip: thank you, i've found the proces and apparently it's "jbd2" and related to ext4 journaling. Do you happen to know if and how can i disable journaling?
k1l_: very reassuring, thx
freakynl: just remove the old linux-image-... packages
but leave at least one kernel on your system :)
k1l_: I know how it works, just fed up with having to clean stuff, reconfigure cuz /boot is full
i dont think ubuntu creates a seperate /boot
ActionParsnip, mmm which java is better?
andrea_: as a core feature of ext3|4 you should keep journaling running
ActionParsnip, so the candidates are open java and oracle java right?
mnice: but it writes too much to the drives, and since i have multiple VM's running on a SSD that results in many GB every day...
andrea_: journal_ioprio=N .. see `man mount' and check, howto change the priority
andrea_: journaling won't produce GBs per day ...
Does ubuntu 12.10 has gnome-classic ???
yes
mnice:  http://pastebin.com/bCAPpBbc
andrea_: why store VMs on an SSD?
ActionParsnip: well i don't have other drives, and they run so fast on SSD's
andrea_: they aren't really made for that sort of thing
ActionParsnip: i know, but other than frequent write rates what problem can they have?
andrea_: I'd say that was a pretty big issue, there are limited writes in SSDs.
omg
sorry for correcting you in that but SSDs are excellent for storing VMs of course :D
ActionParsnip: so how about just disabling journaling at least on the VM's ?
andrea_: sounds good, also add the mount option:   noatime   to the VMs and host
andrea_: again - do not disable journaling with ext4
andrea_: if you dont want journaling you should have choosen ext2 over the ext3 and ext4 variants.
ActionParsnip: afaik noatime just prefents the system to change the time of when a file was accessed. Is there other to it?
k1l_: any other advantage of ext4 to ext2 ?
andrea_: i would say ext4 is the biggest advantage. but you dont want journaling. so the choice is very limited.
and im not sure if trim works with ext2 and ext3. so that will be other issues
andrea_: think about it
andrea_: to update the time, the drive has to be written to.......
Hi, is that normal the files rc0.d/K20ssh (and others rc*/) were missing in my ubuntu server ? The ssh service start at reboot, but I wonder how when theses files are missing ...
ActionParsnip: i know but i'm talking about preventing writes when the system is idling, and i'm not accessing any file when the system idles
andrea_: does iotop show you anything?
andrea_: what are you using to virtualize?
ActionParsnip:  http://pastebin.com/bCAPpBbc
I realise this is slightly off topic but is a 5400rpm usb2 hard disk fast enough to play full def 1080p mp4 videos?
devswap: should be, yes
devswap: how big is the screen playing them?
devswap: you can just divide the video size for the video lenght to see if the average transfer would apply to the USB2 protocol
k1l_: I probably did, still doesn't mean I want 30 kernel versions :)
Desproges: what is the output of:  lsb_release -sc    on the server?
actionparsnip: thanks - wasnt sure if a 7200 would be needed. There isnt a particular screen - I just didnt know if it would be fast enough and hence the question
oneiric
devswap: i'd just look at actual throughput
Desproges: what if you reinstall the openssh-server package?
actionparsnip: you got any experience of samsung drives - I always buy western digital but the samsung is cheaper
freakynl: there is a package called remove old kernels or something that someone made on launchpad if you want to try it
devswap: I'd ask in ##hardware about that
will do thanks
devswap: unless you have a big screen, you don't need 1080P
ohhh thanks that's the answer !
actionparsnip: most probably wont be but as I was asking the question I picked that as probably most resource hungry
devswap: its fast enough in most cases (for AVC bitrates)
devswap: your system will cache some to RAM as it'splayed, you'll be fine
ubottu, I didn't explained well the problem in fact. Theses files weren't present but the ssh worked fine, and now, theses files are present. Can that be a problem ?
ah ah
tsimpson, *
andrea_: what are you using to virtualize?
devswap: it should get about 160 Mbits/s, and avc video is usually no more than 25 Mbits/s
i  am using a UGEE RAINBOW digitizer on my ubuntu studio,but it's now work
ActionParsnip: vmware workstation
andrea_: have you asked in their channel?
ActionParsnip: vmware workstation
ops
srry
Desproges: have a look at the contents of the script, it's probably just a wrapper around the upstart commands
anybody konw how to insall a digitizer(or called graphic tablet) on ubuntu????
brontosaurusrex: ok thanks - just the brand to choose now
yes, that's it, the ssh.conf file contains "exec /usr/sbin/sshd -D"
devswap: i have bunch on wds, all still working
ActionParship: but this is a problem that also applies to the real host, so it's not like only the virtualized hosts have this huge number of writes
of*
please help me!Anybody konw how to insall a digitizer(or called graphic tablet) on ubuntu????
andrea_: does it happen when the host is not running the server software?
i tried wizardpen but dose not work
frederick: is it a piece of hardware?
hola
brontosaurusrex: yes I love WD but tempted by cheaper samsung
frederick: how does it connect to the PC?
ActionParsnip,by USB port
frederick: If you run:  lsusb    you will see an 8 character hex ID, use it to find guides
frederick: one line will identify the device
devswap: id go with whatever has better replacement policy
frederick: if it is unclear, unplug the device and rerun lsusb, the line that vanishes is the device
ActionParsnip,what shoud i do if i got the line?
frederick: use the 8 character hex ID to find guides online
ActionParsnip,just google it?or what??
devswap: always test them when brand new (copy few mp3s or whatever and check md5sums)
frederick: yes, that would be how you can find stuff online using a piece of text......
ok i'll try now
ActionParsnip: yes, it appens also an my notebook that has never seen any VM. Actually that pastebin was of the notebok, bit for that server it is the same exact thing
devswap: i had a noname drive that would copy like 4 of 5 files correcly, no system errors reported, but md5 was my return tool
anyone here in the uk and can recommend a good manufacturer of 2.5inch disk enclosures that are strong and built well
andrea_: I'd check in:  dmesg | tail    see what is going on, may give clues. Also test RAM using memtest in Grub
devswap: ##hardware   again
ActionParsnip,it's something like this:Bus 004 Device 002: ID 5543:006e UC-Logic Technology Corp.
then i google it?
frederick: YES!
sorry all - I know off topic but we are all techies - wont ask again :)
frederick: well,I found a fix...
ActionParsnip,really?????how
frederick: what is the output of:   lsb_release -sc
ActionParsnip,Quantal
ActionParsnip,the output is quantal

guys ive got this issue with this old laptop, It currently has no OS installed, I tried to copy puppy linux.iso onto USB drive and boot from it, But the laptop said that it doesnt support booting from USB
aaron_: does it have a floppy drive?
aaron_: and do you have a floppy disk?
O.o
but...... I used unetbooting on my desktop pc to create a bootable usb drive and it made progress :) only the error i get now is 'unable to boot, please use a kernel appropriate for your cpu'
yes and no ActionParsnip
aaron_: http://www.pendrivelinux.com/use-a-floppy-to-boot-usb-pendrive-linux/    you could use that if you had a floppy
I use metacity.
aaron_: sounds like you grabbed a 64bit ISO
ooo_: ah, not sure there
floppys are like gold dust now lol they disappeared centuries ago :)
maybe im not sure ?
ill try again
aaron_: whole bunch of gold dust here then: http://www.ebay.com/itm/NIB-OFFICE-DEPOT-2HD-IBM-3-1-2-DISKETTES-FORMATTED-1-44-MB-125-Discs-/221153599688?pt=US_Floppy_Zip_Jaz_Disks&hash=item337dc820c8

how doI set my clock to synchronize every time I connect to the internet?
ActionParsnip,no bugs in cheese and in vlc it shows Your input cant't be opened VLC is unable to open the MRL'v4l://'.check the log for details
aaron_: sounds like the USB is booting, just that there are features in puppy which maybe the CPU doesn't have. I'd ask in the puppy channel
can i have the CPU time output in seconds with PS and not in xx:xx:xx format?
andrea_: how are you showing the info?
<ActionParsnip>,i dont know what is the bug that.
Ill try that ActionParsnip thanks - I did have live version of puppy working, I ran it through a windows installer, However when i chose to remove windows and replace with puppy, it didnt install and left me with no OS at all. Im trying a different distro now so fingers crossed.
zone: did you try specifying the video device name?
by the way, whats the puppy channel ? #puppy?
aaron_: try it, it's free
ActionParsnip:  ps -eo pid,cputime | grep $PID | awk {'print $2'}
whats free ?
ActionParsnip,yes /dev/video0 and /dev/audio
aaron_: joining irc channels
:)
now that i managed to get xen booting after switching from uefi to mbr i've hit a new wall; xen doesn't seem to find /dev/mapper/VolGroup* entries (root being one of them) despite vanilla kernel does
join #puppylinux

I've just upgraded to precise from lucid and fonts are looking awful. Notice how the spacing in http://picpaste.com/Screenshot_from_2012-11-19_01_31_40-5iqMWviI.png is completely off.
What's wrong and how do I fix this?  Fonts are bad in a number of places.
does anyone have any ideas or know possible reasons why xen kernel can't find any lvm partitions?
Laibsch: somehow you are using a proportional font in place of a monospace font
Flynsarmy: I have no advise on optimus, its a mess imho
Laibsch: I don't know why you would have set it that way, or how you'd manage to not notice initially
actionparsnip osx time I guess
Flynsarmy: not sure what that means
actionparsnip means time to drop Ubuntu for OSX
Flynsarmy: ok
https://dl.dropbox.com/u/8850924/QuantalDesktop.png    looks like that
gordonjcp: I am glad you were able to pick that out just from the visual cues, something I can't do. I don't know why you think I did not notice initially, I did.  All users of the system are affected after the upgrade to precise
What is a simple software midi player?
invariant: try timidity
and you might check with aptitude which packages depend on timidity
Laibsch: /etc/fonts/conf.d/ has symlinks that affect fonts.  Since they are just symlinks, you simply delete the symlink to disable a setting.  There's also some font settings in your lightdm theme which may be carrying over (see /etc/lightdm/*)

It suddenly stopped booting, system was corrupt, segfautl, unable to boot to root shell, etc. I managed to save data and reinstall. But like I thought, the HDD seems damaged. It took several hours for gparted to format the drive in ext3, and disk utility shows "Disk has a few bad sectors". I managed to install after multiple failures,
 but it's painfully slow. Any suggestions ? Is the HDD dying ? Thanks.
BlackNarcissus: sounds like a dying drive to me, backup ASAP and get new
yup
ActionParsnip: That's what I thought, but I wasn't sure because disk utility says the disk is ok besides a few bad sectors.
that's a dying hard disk
BlackNarcissus: it should have no user-visible bad sectors at all
BlackNarcissus: bad sectors aren't great, they will spread. The drive is dying
the real problem is that the spindle bearing is beginning to fail
gordonjcp, ActionParsnip: Ok, then. My diagnostic wasn't that bad then. Guess my friend needs a new HDD. Waned to be sure before telling him. Thanks guys.
then what happens is fragments of metal from the bearing start to rattle off the disk surface
hi
howdy all
gordonjcp: Yeah, plus sometimes I think I can hear that peculiar sound HDD do when they're beginning to fail.
Thanks anyway
i am planing to make a dict dictionary
and i wonder if i can hoste it in launchpad
and i wonder if i can host it in launchpad
I wonder why my $PATH needs to contain /usr/lib/lightdm/lightdm  (which has only 2 binary files)  ...  guess someone was lazy to write all that in some script and decided it was better to pollute the $PATH
max respect
cousteau: probably lightdm doing the polluting :)
jrib, I suspect so, yes :/
I was wondering why it's needed
If I type apt-get install appx, twice, does it install a second copy of the application? (I want to install 2 tomcat7's to use on different ports)
cousteau: same in Raring
test
gabriel__, definitely not
it'll say appx is already installed, and quit
you should run the program with different settings
(the program probably has an option to select the port, or to select a settings file)
hey, when ubuntu pops up those "whoops, gnome-shell crashed, do you want to send a problem report etc." dialogs and I say yes
can I look them up later?
brb
see the stack trace etc.?
hmm when I want to switch away from unity, to i.e. fluxbox, what would be the proper way to do so? I was used to modify /etc/inittab and use runlevel 3 there, and use "exec fluxbox" in ~/.xinitrc, but somehow I cant find that inittab file, and I am not sure where else the runlevel could be defined hmm
mgedmin, I don't use gnome-shell, but xubuntu seems to have a "Show details" button
show details, yes, that exists
shevy: don't you use lightdm?  Or some other login manager?
but I mean _after_ I press "Send", can I look up the thing on the Internet?  convert it into a bug on Launchpad, or forward it upstream?
how to restore default hotkeys?
jrib, ah... hmm I am not sure, let me try to find out what I currently use (I was so used to using just xinitrc alone)
jrib: oh yeah, I think I use lightdm... "lightdm --session-child 12 15"
never saw it before btw :)
shevy: when you first start your computer, what do you see?  You see a login screen?
oh, I configured for auto-login of my user account, but I suppose if I toggle that off, I would get a login screen
shevy: you don't need to turn it off.  Just log out and you'll be taken to the login screen.  From there, you can find a gear or circle next to your username.  When you click on it, you can choose a different session.  If you've installed fluxbox from the repositories, fluxbox should be a choice
Is any way to do it?
ah ok, I'll do that soon then, thanks jrib!

Is it possible to change grub location ? I installed grub on MBR but when booting it says no OS installed, I had 3 options when deciding where to install grub, One was 'Root' 'Install to superblock of linux'
I switched to lightdm from gdm now, but no change.  lightdm extends beyond the bottom of my screen so might not be a good choice.  Font problem is unchanged for all users.
hello
Laibsch: did you see what I said to you?
Question: I can press multimedia keys on laptop to increase volume, on/off wifi etc. It works okay, but howto modify? Which package or system implements that plz - coz I'd like to add/modify that default behavior. Thx.
Hi Pope
Hi Pope
Hi Pope
Hi Pope
Hi Pope
Hi Pope
Touhou11: please don't be silly
seems that multimedia keys are powered by kernel driver
jrib: about "the symlink"?  Well, question is what symlink?
i touch children
i touch children
i touch children
I already did a dpkg-reconfigure of language-selector-common
Laibsch: well I'd start by using the gui to change the user's font settings and then see how the system-wide settings differ
howto grab the last character in a line? (bash)
I found a very strange problem about the multimedia keys, a Acer Aspire 4750G laptop, Fn+arrow keys don't function well, I have to edit /etc/default/grub to modify the kernel_cmd to make it work
K350: try #bash
how do you join a channel named "*" on irc?
Jikai: ok, thx :)
jrib: you keep saying "THE symlink", "THE gui" without saying which.
zhufeng: and which userland pkg uses the kernel driver for the multimedia keys? Its not all just  kernel functionality, it has to be userland too...
Laibsch: I never said "the symlink".  I don't know what the default gui application is for editing appearances.  Did you look for it in your menus?
(12:42:45) jrib: Laibsch: /etc/fonts/conf.d/ has symlinks that affect fonts.  Since they are just symlinks, you simply delete the symlink to disable a setting.  There's also some font settings in your lightdm theme which may be carrying over (see /etc/lightdm/*)
Laibsch: I know what I said... what's your question?
Yes, I checked all menus I could find, but since I only upgraded to precise now I am not familiar with unity
Laibsch: there's some gear icon I think by default in the unity bar that has the system settings.  Or just try "settings" in dash
I quoted you because you claimed you never said "the symlink", but see above
Laibsch: you're taking that out of context.
Laibsch: there are several symlinks, each corresponding to particular settings.  If you want to disable a particular setting you delete the corresponding symlink
I was explaining to you "in context" that "the symlink" and "the GUI" is too vague for me.
BBL
well, then the question obviously is how to find the corresponding symlink.
Laibsch: ok, by "the symlink" I mean "the symlink that corresponds to the setting you want to turn off"
I believe something deviates here from a default install (where things are obviously OK).  But I don't know how to find that.
Laibsch: to find the setting you want to turn off, I advise editing the user's settings with the gui tool.  Have you created a new user by the way and verified the settings still look strange to you?
hello
yes, I created a new user. but when I log in it's XFCE (which is also installed).  lightdm does not seem to allow me to change the WM.
I had chosen Unity2D for the main user when I was still using gdm and that setting stuck.
But I did try with two other little-used accounts and they have the same strange fonts.
Laibsch: what happens when you click the circular icon next to the username for the new user?
let me try, thank you
no circular icon next to the username, I wonder if this is lightdm after all
Laibsch: yes, check :)
I'll use gdm for now and check
brb
Is possible to restore default hotkeys in ubuntu? (unity+metacity)
I means restoring window cycling by alt+tab
unfortunally I'm not able to find any clues in documentation or google
I simple way to cycle windows by alt+tab nothing more ;)

Does Ubuntu automatically turn your display off after a set amount of time?
I can't find anything in the System Settings like that.
talentedunicorn yes

infz_: that's odd
I need help.
talentedunicorn idd :)
infz_: :P this is a long shot but try renaming the file and run the command again and see what happens
I have bought a printer and I can't install it on my ubuntu, and none of the directions I've found on the internet have helped me any.. can any of you help me?

hey, i'm trying to install the latest xubuntu on my computer. I tried installing it with usb stick at first .. but that didn't work .. it kept loading after choosing the language (for more than 90 minutes) So I tried burning the img on a dvd and installing it that way .. but that just did the same thing .. kept showing the loading icon after choosing the language (the computer didn't freeze). Why could this be? Whenever I click "quit install"
does anyone here know how to setup record my desktop
infz_: permissions??
My older version of ubuntu always detected everything, and it all ran like plug and play. But this one won't detect it at all.
everytime i record, the video is very quick and out sync with the audio
talentedunicorn, same
try running the command again
talentedunicorn, error: Cannot recv data: Connection reset by peer
toddnjamie, check this page http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2066330
rednecktek, I've already tried that. I even decided to risk my computer's life and follow directions to do it via the terminal lol. Nothing is working. I'll admit, I'm no techno genius.
rednecktek, maybe I'm missing some key points that I should know how to do, but everytime I try anything it basically runs me in circles.
Where can I discuss problems with recent hardware without pae ?
I have a lot of Pentium M laptops all of which have no PAE extension
rednecktek, in looking at these drivers, do I need the one that says rpm packagearchive, or debian packagearchive?
Intel made many pentium M cpus (production 2003-2008 ) of which many had either had pae disabled or had no pae.
toddnjamie, you're using Ubunut, right? Always the deb file
Yes, ubuntu. Thank you
lapion: You can use #ubuntu-discuss or #ubuntu-offtopic if its general discussion rather than a specific support question
Since it's a multifunctional, does that mean I'll have to install drivers for both printer AND scanner?
lapion,  there is a non-pea build iso > http://people.canonical.com/~diwic/12.04-nonpae/
well I have a nice pentium M tablet on which I cannot install quantal because it hase no pae
12.04 only
toddnjamie, according to the forum page I sent you, yes.
Ok. Well I just downloaded it, and it's a tar.gz file, which I have no idea how to install and unzip and all that...lord, maybe I need to just hire someone to come out and install this...:(
follow the directions in post # 6
cd into the directory you downloaded it in (Downloads usually)
toddnjamie, the steps look really clear. Start with getting printing working and tehn worry about the scanner
I really should drink more coffee before typing
Maybe I am doing something wrong. I don't even see steps to take, other than to download it. Nevermind, I'll figure it out. Thank you though :) I appreciate your help.
toddnjamie, can you open a terminal?
Yes, I know how to do that.
ok, do that and lets work through it
It's open.
does anyone here use recordmydesktop?
toddnjamie,  type the following: ls Downloads
ok, then what?
toddnjamie, does it list a file named cnijfilter-mg2100series-3.60-1-deb.tar.gz
Yes it does
type: cd Downloads
ok I did.
toddnjamie, you can even copy and paste what I send. type: cnijfilter-mg2100series-3.60-1-deb.tar.gz
sorry
type: tar -zxvf cnijfilter-mg2100series-3.60-1-deb.tar.gz
It says command not found.
yeah, I fat-fingered
lol. let me try again lol
Ok, I did.
It didn't say command not found. IT said a bunch of other stuff.
did you type: tar -zxvf cnijfilter-mg2100series-3.60-1-deb.tar.gz
Yes.
good
almost there. type: cd cnijfilter-mg2100series-3.60-1-deb
hello, did someone already install steam beta ?
It just repeated what I wrote with a $ after it.
yup. now type: ./install.sh
and follow the instructions.
oh wow.....
I'm sorry rednecktek, I still don't see any instructions. I'm sorry...I don't mean to be such an idiot...
toddnjamie, not an idiot, just inexperienced. hang on and let me see what it does
hi
readme
Well, I feel like an idiot. lol. I'm not good with stuff like this.
toddnjamie,  It should have asked you for you password to begin installing and then prompted you to turn on the printer
It asked me for my password, did not prompt me to turn on printer.
toddnjamie, do you see a line that says "#  Register Printer"
nowhere.

The last line says toddnjamie@toddnjamie-Satellite-P105:~/Downloads/cnijfilter-mg2100series-3.60-1-deb$

toddnjamie, line before that?

toddnjamie: is your printer on?
Yes it is.
toddnjamie: Is it directly connected to your pc?
Yes, via usb.
mnn
toddnjamie: well, we forgot to turn it off before we started. it may be installed and ready. do you know how to check?
No. But the printer wasn't on. I just turned it on after you said I should have been prompted to do so..
The only way I know how to check is to go into my printer settings and print test page.
is it alright to ask a gnome specific question on here?
guys why the files present in the folder  /etc/udev/rules.d/ have names like "70-persistent...etc"? what stands that 70 for? i am creating a custom rule that executes a script everytime an usb pen is plugged in, and i think i have to create a file name 90-local.rules; again, what stands that 90 for?
And that says there are no printers configured.
I have to run my son to school, shouldn't take me more than 15 minutes. Will you still be here then?

Hi guys, I'm setting up a new Ubuntu server and want to increase the limit for open files. Is there any recommendations regarding this? E.g. a recommended number?
toddnjamie: if I'm not, poweroff the printer and run the install command again.
ok, thank you.

hmm when it asks for the 2nd disk, i open my tray put the 2nd disk in then it wotn continue, any suggestions ?
does anyone happen to know the best irc client for linux/ubuntu
Yes best IRC client = kvirc (gui) or WeeChat for commandline!
hmm when it asks for the 2nd disk, i open my tray put the 2nd disk in then it wotn continue, any suggestions ?
wopples: I'd ask in #winehq
ok
wopples: or take a look at WoW's entry on the appdb
IHAXEX1337: irssi
thankd
thanks
lolz im on this at my school
wopples, thats a wine issue, but what you want to do is copy the contents of all the disks to a single directory on the hard drive and then run the installation
so just to clarify there is NO simply best irc client
wopples, alternatively, you can download the web installer
the_dark_knight: weechat > irssi :)
So just to clarify ther are opinions on what is the best client though for my own use
ok actually let me completly clarify my question which irc client has the most options and uses
Anybody here play vegastrike?
never heard of vegastrike what is it
i have a question
Ask it
why my ubuntu uesing memory more and more.
RAM or hardisk
i have 6G memory ,but just 200M free
RAM
IHAXEX1337, your name is funny

OK

snowshine: SEE http://www.linuxatemyram.com/
are you on a dual boot with ubuntu and another OS like windows???
snowshine: *On a pastebin* such as http://paste.debian.net -- But too late now. As you can see you have around 3820400M of free RAM. The rest is used to cache/buffer files and data. fego gave you a link that explains this in detail.
i have ubuntu and win8
snowshine: Keep in mind that free RAM is, unlike information, *bad* . You have that RAM and you want to use it. The Linux kernel utilises free memory to speed up access to files on the harddisk. If a program needs that memory it will be cleared and can be used by the program in question.

any help with AMD Radeon 4000M series and quantal?
OpenSorce, what is your real question ?
OerHeks, I already asked it...
Desu, is it a hybrid
hybrid?
switchable and/intel
amd
why that?
Not as far as I'm aware.
OpenSorce, this is a support channel, not for polls like Anybody here play vegastrike?
if its a switchable/hybrid graphics i got the solution if not im sory but i cant help
i have a triple boot at home of pinguy os 12 and windows 7, and mac osx mountain lion ( hackintosh) thats the only reason i asked snowshine
OerHeks, I am well aware of the nature of this channel, thank you
Hey, can anyone help me? I simply updated ubuntu from the update pop up and I now have lost my graphics driver.
What do I do?
Evil_Eric, well what do you suggest?
rednecktek, I'm back.
i sujest you stay at 112.04 and not upgrade to 12.10 yet
OerHeks, had anyone said that they played the game I would have asked further questions, obviously. As they did not I didn't.
So I need to start the process over? Printer on, or off?
my ubuntu is 12.10
Well, too late on that one...
ahhh
well lets see what i can dig up to help you desu
toddnjamie: don't have to start over. Printer OFF. Is the terminal still open
Appreciate it
what was the model
amd
4xxx
Yes, the terminal is open.
hexy, were you using a non-free driver before the update?
AMD 4xxxM (notebook card)
im not what anyone with any intelligence would suggest as a "hacker" but someone ignorant in computer's would think that i am a "hacker" as my nickname suggests
OpenSorce: I didn't install any driver manually, it was all installed with the OS.
hexy, okay... so when you say the driver is "gone" what do you mean?
if someone needed help with a graphics driver you could always find it online if you happen to know what driver it is called
IHAXEX1337, planning to point him there shortly :-)
coolz
Evil_Eric, looks like any progress will have to stop here for now...the battery just died and I don't have the charger on me. Thanks for trying though :)
the only thing i am not skilled in on computers is probably just irc stuff
i just got the solution
OpenSorce: I mean, I click Details inside system settings and go to Graphics, It says Driver: Unknown
And Obviously I noticed it because the resolution is huge now.
Oh? could you tell me and I'll try it when I get the charger?
IHAXEX1337, irc is ancient code by today's standards. Only the old timers like myself remember working with it I think :-)
toddnjamie: still there?
check your pm
Yes I'm here. The terminal is open.]
cool
hexy, okay... do you know what type of graphics card you have?
i use the XChat
desu check your pm
i like using irc thou i dont like all of the new social networking stuff okay well g2g seeya all later ill come online on my phone later lolz
heys you guys... i have a problem... a 16gb pen drive on which i put ubuntu via usb-creator- ... that thing aint even budging... tried it twice... same result.. tried to mount base image and it works fine... what's would be the problem??
toddnjamie: type: ./install.sh
OpenSorce: 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82Q963/Q965 Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 02) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller])
OpenSorce: That's from lspci
It's working again.
hexy, you're ahead of the game knowing how to use lspci :-) gimme a sec let's see if I can help you...
Ended with same as before.
OpenSorce: Thanks. =]

Using gnome classic in ubuntu 12.10.  How do I customize "Indicator Applet Complete"?
oh
"no system default destination"
i have no clue how in irssi
It seems that whenever a usb drive has been inside the evil stomach of a mac, i have problems reading it on my ubuntu computer. Does mac do something special to usb sticks?
% th
I'm sorry. It says lpstat: no destinations added. no system default destination
ermm... i have a problem... a 16gb pen drive on which i put ubuntu via usb-creator- ... that thing aint even budging... tried it twice... same result.. tried to mount base image and it works fine... what's would be the problem??
hexy, I would recommend reinstalling your graphic driver... I'm looking to find the package name for your card now
the system doesn't even boot from it'
toddnjamie: ok, let me think about it a minute
hexy, I use nvidia and have to do it after just about every update
ok thank you. I'm sorry to be putting you through so much trouble. I'm really computer illterate at times.
OpenSorce: That's seems like such a pain.
OpenSorce: The thing is, my graphics is onboard.
Hello Everyone, On ubuntu 12.04 LTS vmware trouble with promisc mode, it recreate each time /dev/vmnet* after reboot, I tried modify init.d script, but didn't help
I love ubuntu, and it's sooo user friendly until it comes to something like this, then it's only user friendly if the user knows what he/she's doing..lol
oh well... Since every buddy is doing their thing.. I guess I'll... I'll ... see myself out..
any help thank you
OpenSorce: apt-cache search driver | grep -i intel       Would any of those that come up there help me?
toddnjamie: I can attest that Windows is no better. :p
I HATE windows...not to sound so dramatic, but I absolutely hate windows.
hexy, yeah and in my experience Ubuntu picks up quickly on Intel video and uses the right driver... not heard of this happening with Intel before
Windows is worse. Why do you think I use Ubuntu? I love it, and I can even maneuver it lol
(most of the time)
hexy, I would search online for the right driver package for your card and apt-get install it
toddnjamie: I really need to see everything in the terminal from the install.sh to the end. Can you paste it at http://paste.ubuntu.com/
hexy, does lsmod show you have a video driver loaded?
toddnjamie: then give me the url
Yes, I will do my best lol.
OpenSorce: I was just going to use it this second, haha
Hold on, let me see...
hexy, from what I can see it looks like it should be using the i915 module but I could be wrong
rednecktek: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1370142/
See if I did that right.
OpenSorce: Yes, video is using i915
hexy, odd... have you taken a look in your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file?
toddnjamie: type: sudo apt-get -f install
OpenSorce: Nope, will try now. What am I looking for exactly?
ok...
hexy, look for the line stating which video driver to use
It responded with, "0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 2 not upgraded
hexy, have you rebooted since the update?
5 times
hexy, lol gotcha
hexy, a simple cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf | grep driver would probably tell you what you need to know
toddnjamie: you were missing a dependency. let's try the install again: ./install.sh
oh ok. It's running again.
ok.
OpenSorce: Weird, I don't have xorg.conf but I do have xorg.conf.failsafe
Do I need to do the lpstat thing again now? lol
OpenSorce: And that's what I have there http://pastebin.com/R8kxR58B
try it and see if it lists a printer
Nope.
hexy, what's the date on the failsafe?
toddnjamie: wife is calling me to eat. let me think and I'll be back
ok, thank you
OpenSorce: Date modified?
Hiah. I've got to upgrade a laptop that's running 11.10. Are there any known problems with upgradeing to 12.04 then to 12.10 with do-release-upgrade ?
hey any one here
hello to all
hexy, nevermind. I thought maybe the update renamed it. It's just set to use the Frame Buffer driver though
hexy, I'm sorry but I have to run to the store, I'll be back soon. Maybe someone else in the channel can help you though :-(
is this help chat?
OpenSorce: It's the 3rd time I'm asking in this channel, no one knows how to fix it.
or is it real chat?
OpenSorce: I'll try to figure something out, thanks though.
cloudrf: what's the difference?

and it's just a chat chennel
Hello all. :) Can anybody help me with a small bash script - can I concatenate 2 simple .txt files with a bash script? Something like "/path/to/file1.txt" + "/path/to/file2.txt" > "stdout.txt"
is it possible to run spice on a desktop and connect to it like vnc/nx?
need a channel for smart likeminded individuals
is canonical a corperation?
g_seek: you can use the cat command
gassy: I did, they linked me here http://intellinuxgraphics.org
g_seek: cat /path/to/file1.txt /path/to/file2.txt >> "stdout.txt"
yes, cat works, will try
g_seek: cat file1 file2 > combined
i want to run a script when any usb device is plugged in. I added a file in /etc/udev/rules.d/ named 90-local.rules that contains SUBSYSTEM=="usb", RUN+="/usr/local/bin/usbhook". I restarted udev, but if i plug any usb pen nothing happens. Why?
Im trying to remove postgres from my server but apt-get remove --purge doesnt remove postgres' init script ?
anyone idea why ?
so did you select your graphics driver and install it?
toddnjamie: please pastebin the output of the last install
cloudrf: it's a private company
gassy: The problem is... It was perfectly fine before the update, driver was installed with the OS. So why do I have to install the driver manually now?
It works great! Thank you very much fego and llutz! :D Have a great day
hi
is there something like backports for ubuntu?
g_seek: no problem :)
i'm on 12.04/precise and want g++-4.7
is the old driver version compatible with the updated ubuntu if not it requires a manual update i guess
I am having issues trying to automount a cifs remote drive
so I have mounted it successfully and added to fstab and use mount -a and everything works great
gassy: I didn't update the distro, just a simple update.
but when i reboot the system I still have to mount -a
nixfreak:  whats your fstab entry for the share?
But I assume you are correct, mind helping me installing the driver, I'm not too familiar with installing drivers on linux.
wait till any operator comes online they might have a solution
  ./ //192,168.12.4/share/ /share  username=user,password=password
sorry for the comma but that is what I have
what kind of suffix do file names in /etc/apt/preferences.d need to have, if any?
I tried nowait and _netdev as options also dr_willis
nixfreak:  hmm.. examples i find online have more 'fields' in them..    //192.168.44.100/share   /path_to/mount   cifs   guest,_netdev   0 0
yeah guest does not work
nixfreak:  its possible the server is just slow so the mounting is timing out.
sambaaaa ewww
gassy: I don't know any operators..
You could put a command in /etc/rc.local to mount the share.  but thats a bit of a dirty work around
Is there a way to monitor gconf/dconf for key/value changes so I can make a change in the GUI and then record that change so I can make the same change using gconftool?
mag]: ?
hexy wait till any one o em comes
of*
dr_willis I agree , but how can I slow the mount down ?
nixfreak:  thats what  the _netdev option is supposed to do
gassy: And how would I know if any of them are online?
nixfreak:  from what im googling. ;)
dr_willis, what do i do if i can't find g++ 4.7 there? it is present in quantal
you on xchat right ..operators have a green dot before their names
TomyLobo:  ppa, or source i guess..
and did you google for the solution
?
gassy: I did google for a solution, and no I'm not on xchat, though it's nice you assume everyone here is on xchat haha
dr_willis _netdev is depreciated
nixfreak:  just googling examples. ;)
of course
ok if you are on any text based irc client it will be a @
gassy: And I didn't find a solution since I don't really know how to word my problem correctly.
Ubuntu just has a lot of ways to mount something
gassy: people don't op-up unless theres an issue that needs attention.  Also, they aren't all-knowing.
Okay, if I'm seeing this correctly, I see FloodBot1 2 and 3 online.
gassy:
"graphics driver lost after  ubuntu update"
somthing like that
gassy: Exactly what I've tried.
And nothing.
gassy: They all help the ones who have installed their drivers manually, but don't help the automatically installed ones, which is my case.
nixfreak:  notice some examples of mounting cifs that use the 'auto' option also.. perhaps the default for them is noauto (that would be weird)
dr_willis oh "the default is noauto" fstab says that auto is default hmm
hi, can someone please help me . i been looking all over to get my Screen to stay on and not turn dark after 10 sec- i went to (brightness and Lock) and changes everything off.... and still the screen turn black . and then i tried "Caffeine" and disabled the screen saver . please help
I moved a server onto my lan and it took over people's devices that asked for a dhcp lease.  I killed dhcpd, but now I wawnt to chkconfig it off.  How can I do that in ubuntu?
I could not find a init.d file that started it
nixfreak:  i cant find anything that says the default is no auto.. i just saw a bunch of examples that included auto...
I could not find an rc.d file that started it.
nixfreak:  so that may not be it.
is it advisable to install g++ 4.7 from quantal into precise?
It was a child of init though.
There must be some way to make it not start up, even on ubuntu, right?
TomyLobo:  you dont want to mix packages from differnt releases
same degree of difficulties as squeeze/wheezy?
lol this is frustrating
the only way its working right now is S99
its a nasty hack
I did a `find /etc/ -name *dhcpd*` and it found these: /etc/dhcp/dhcpd.conf /etc/apparmor.d/cache/usr.sbin.dhcpd /etc/apparmor.d/usr.sbin.dhcpd /etc/apparmor.d/local/usr.sbin.dhcpd
I want to turn off dhcpd so it doesn't start next time.
?
Is there a way to do that in ubuntu somehow?
If so, how can it be done perminantly?
dr_willis, which problems would arise?
can anyone suggest something ?
if its handled by upstart jgspratt  it should have an /etc/init/servicename.conf  you could rename
outofhand: have you tried unplugging it?  does a "disconnected cable" thing appear?
TomyLobo:  it could start pulling in other packages that will break the system
dr_willis: I am sorry, there is no /etc/init/dhcpd.conf file.
dr_willis: do you know if maybe it is part of networking?
and if so, how to disable dhcpd without disabling networking?
 jgspratt : yes i have unpluged - its the screen going to sleep mode
Oh, I see.
If I have a terminal running program and can't see it. How would I be able to see it by using another terminal? (via ssh) thats why i ask this.
dr_willis, like?
Meway: You should start it under screen
Meway: or tmux
tmux++
TomyLobo:  like.. totally failing to boot.. You DONT want to mix packages from differnt releases..  if you do - dont expect any support from here.
^_^
no i mean like which packages?
TomyLobo:  no idea.
loke: so if I have server-bla1 running and it is running. How would I go from an empty terminal to seeing that  programs output without closing it?
Im not even sure how you would install gcc from  a newer release in an old release.
Meway: You can't. Unless the program was started under screen or tmux
I cant believe no one can help with this .....
loke: screen is terminal?
Meway: No. screen is a program that provides the functionality you seek
Meway: tmux is also such a program, which is newer, better but not as commonly available
loke: does it cost?
Meway: no
Meway: just apt-get install it
dr_willis,  afaict, it will only update libgcc1
Meway: what I do is this: find a machine that has tmux on it, build up a multi-leveled tmux with sessions into each of the servers I want and then connect to that tmux every time
also libgomp1 and libitm1
for convenience, use tmuxinator to define your connections and distribute the public ssh key of your tmux host to all the clients.
jgspratt: ouch. I have started to dislike the spreading ofpublich ssh keys. It's a nightmare to manage and keep secure
jgspratt: If you have more than a handful of machines, you should be using Kerberos
loke: ah: I have a puppet for you!
jgspratt: Kerberos is what provides happieness :-)
putos
link tmux?
is ubuntu gpl compliant??
Meway: Did you even try to google? It's the first hit.

how do i add a repository in a way that i need to write apt-get install package/repo
TomyLobo, do you mean a PPA or a repository that needs to be enabled in the package manager/sources.list
?

testing
donspaulding, I thought we were all just ignoring the obvious troll :-P
doesn't sound like it would break anything :)
hexy, how's your issue coming along?
OpenSorce: Horrible.
Not getting anywhere.
hexy oh my...
hexy, so have we identified the driver and tried re-installing it?
dr_willis,  i should at least end up with a working apt :)
OpenSorce: We identified it, but didn't try reinstalling it.
oh yeah
of course
helloooo
dfg
hexy, I would try that first... removing then installing the driver
I don't know how to it.
Mind helping me out here?
hexy, if that doesn't work I would say start looking for the error message
hexy sure, do you know the name of the driver/package?
testing
OpenSorce: Uhmm.. not sure what you mean.
hexy, step one should be sudo apt-get remove <packagename> then sudo apt-get install <packagename>... so we need to find out the name of the driver package
what flag do I have to give to g++ to sow all compile errors? So that the compiler does not stop on the first error?
ovidiu-florin: may be -Wall
OpenSorce: Well, how do I find the name?
fego: that is for warnings
does it also include errors?
hexy, looking now... we said earlier it should be the i910 driver right?
I found it...
fego: as far as I know it does not
I apt-cache search i915
ovidiu-florin: errors and warnings are different things altogether
exactly
and it's xserver-xorg-video-intel
fego: -W* stands for warnings
no no, you are wrong
So I guess I'll remove and reinstall like you said.
OpenSorce: Should I purge remove or just remove?
ovidiu-florin: you can get warning at comile time even if your code gets compiled flawlessly
hello
i m newbie
fego: I know that
hexy, you're right purging might be a good idea, btw what version of Ubuntu?
12.04
can anybody help me to start with ubuntu development??????
develop what?

how to change default theme in liveCD after remastering ubuntu
hexy, okay I would try the instructions here: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-install-intel-82852855gm-drivers-in-ubuntu-using-ppa.html
Well, already purged, and reinstalled.
OpenSorce: Now restarting.
hexy, it tells you to add a Stefan Glasenhardt's ppa which I understand is kept up to date.
hexy, good luck
how do i check whether libstdc++6-4.6.3 and -4.7.2 are binary compatible?
We'll see in a sec.

Yeah.
Lol
how can i change my theme in ubuntu?
hexy, wow... it never even said you left the channel
OpenSorce: I'm on a diff machine.
Lol
hexy, oh... derp
ok gracias
any body how can i change my theme in ubuntu?
arucard: you are welcome
hexy, okay... well now we probably want to look through the X errors and see if we see anything obvious... don't remember where Ubuntu keeps those hold on
gyanesh: System Settings. Themes are on the Appearance page. Did you try searching on Dash?
ok, so i can still run apt-get, so i guess i *should* be fine even after a reboot
at least fine enough to downgrade.

i use xfce tomy
xubuntu?
FrEaKmAn_,  install linux last, then it should be fine
just use grub
the loader should do all the work
xubuntu is king yes
xfce is the best desktop environment in my opinion
not as pretty but definately kicks butt
kubuntu or xubuntu are probably the best alternatives freakman
kubuntu is really nice now that plasma is more mature

my gtx 280 isnt working
How can I add another resolution to my video cards properties?
when my $HOME is encrypted, is /home/.ecryptfs/patrick/.ecryptfs/wrapped-passphrase inside or outside the encrypted space?
I want 1080x720 16x9
ccc_, nvidia chip by chance?
Do any of you know anything about hooking up a canon printer to ubuntu?
gtx - 280
ccc_ i think there was something about that in "man xrandr"
nvidia
ccc_, try the nvidita-settings app
i did
sorry for the spelling
ccc_, or edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
is that where resolutions are stored in unix?
i want to force 1080x720
I need help installing a canon pixma mg2120 printer on my ubuntu system. I can't get it to detect my printer
ccc, this is ubuntu, not unix
hi
basically coke and pepsi
ccc, look in system settings>display and monitor , you can set your resolution there as well.
xrandr --addmode VGA 1080x720
substitute your output's name
I installed gnome classic on my ubuntu 12.10, and then installed compiz plugins, but now for all users except root, the checkboxes next to all compiz items are grayed out. How do I fix this?
how do i get my outputs name?
ccc, system settings for display
or just type xrandr without a parameter

bazhang: Yes, thank you for that, but I've already tried that. I can't get it to work. I don't know if maybe I'm missing some key here, or what...
toddnjamie, there are *two* solutions there
hi i just install my hard disk running on a laptop with nvidia card to a laptop with intel card , is there a command to auto reconfigure Xorg
i still have the nvidia xorg conf with a 640x480 screen
bazhang, yes I know. I've been working on this nonstop for almost 16 hours....Maybe I'm just tired and can't figure something out. Can't see the forest through the trees kind of thing. I'm not computer savvy....
poor resolution
any body could help me to remove some programs ?
i need to free some space
gaby, installed how
bazhand: installed  already
gaby, how    were they installed
problem solved: I had to enable Preferences -> Plugin List -> Automatic Plugin Sorting
bazhang: like ubuntu one - like games - and so on
bazhang : its installed with ubuntu when i was installing ubuntu it self
gaby, so remove with the package manager
toddnjamie, add the ppa
bazhang : i cant open the package manager
gaby, apt-get clean && apt-get autoremove
may already help
Therein lies the problem. Unless I'm missing something major something here, I can't figure out what you're talking about. I'm on the page you just gave me, looking at the ppa link, and I don't see what I'm supposed to do here. I'm sorry. I know I'm an idiot...people should not let me near ubuntu....:(
gaby, whats the error
bazhang : not responding
toddnjamie, I just gave you the link on how to add a ppa
Yes, I understand that. I know you did. Thank you. I'll figure it out from here. Thanks.
gaby, then remove from the command line; sudo apt-get remove packagename
This link you sent me, doesn't show me how to install the ppa files. Again, unless I'm missing something important. Does ubuntu not have an ubuntu for dummies page?
That's where I should go.
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:user/ppa-name   <----- toddnjamie
I get "Sorry, Ubuntu 12.10 has experienced an internal error" popping up all the time
but nothing seems to be wrong..
the error is just annoying
bazhang : i did so and tells  me ...unable to lock the download directory
It just says cannot access ppa.
gaby, so close all other instances of apt, package manager etc, or wait til a current install is finished then close
gaby, you did use *sudo* , correct?
bazhang : iam not able to download any thing as i dont have a space for 0MB
toddnjamie, whats the exact add ppa command you used
bazhang: correct - i did use sudo
gaby, so close all other instances of apt
ok, it did all that...it said it's done reading package lists. I typoed when I typed it in. Remember: 16 hours straight here. I need a break lol..
toddnjamie, now sudo apt-get update
It said it's done reading package lists, and the link you gave me says I'm now ready to install software from the ppa or something like that....
I did that too
It's done all that.
toddnjamie, so install it
The regular software I was trying to use in the first place? Am I understand that correctly?
toddnjamie, the software from the ppa. use the exact name
that's where I get confused. I'm so sorry. I'm not trying to make your day difficult, I swear! lol I'm such a girl...:( I don't know what you mean when you say that...the software from the ppa...I thought that was what I just did...I'm sorry :(

do I just copy and paste what you just typed?
toddnjamie, sudo apt-get install
ok thank you...
and those two packages at the end toddnjamie
Is it possible to install packages for 12.04 on 12.10?
keith_, never mix distro versions
bazhang: So I'll need to install from source if the package is being removed?
It says unable to locate package cnijfilter-common-3.70
keith_, which package
said same thing for the other one.
libtrilinos
I'm trying to install Ubuntu 12.04, and when I get to the partitioning screen, none of my hard drives show up. fdisk -l shows me both /dev/sda and /dev/sdb, as expected. Has anyone seen anything like this before?
Also the only choice in 'Device for boot loader installation' is /dev/sdb, which is unexpected
I tried again, it still said "E: Unable to locate package cnijfilter-common-3.70"...said same for cnijfilter-common-3.60
bazhang: At least, this site indicates it is going to be removed: http://packages.qa.debian.org/t/trilinos.html
I don't know for sure
toddnjamie, now try sudo apt-get upgrade  then try and install them
Ok, I'll try that. It's doing the upgrade right now.
I have yet another question. When I'm doing the sudo apt-get install, do I type both packages in same command, or do them separately?
toddnjamie, both together
ok thank you so much...you've been very patient with my stupidity and I appreciate it. I'm trying it all right now.
hey there
my lcd keeps going black randomly, then coming back
suppose this is a driver or resolution issue?
bazhang, when this gets done, will there be another step after attempting again the sudo apt-get install process?
right now, it's still finishing the upgrade, I just wanted to see where I would have to go after this.
toddnjamie, yes, you need to then give the command to install those two packages
hello
sudo apt-get install cnijfilter-common-3.70 cnijfilter-common-3.60, right?
he
correct toddnjamie
again, unable to locate package.
Just did it.
hey, guys, where i can get the pxeboot.tar.gz file

And i read "Untar the file netboot/pxeboot.tar.gz into /var/lib..." on help.ubuntu.com, but i don't know where i can obtain the 'pxeboot.tar.gz' file.
somebody know how i can obtain 'pxeboot.tar.gz' file?
toddnjamie, what happens when you try to tab complete the package name    sudo apt-get install cnijfilter-<tabkey>
BluebirdShao, : google duh

I'm not sure what you're asking me to do. I typed what you put, then hit the tab key, and nothing happened.
For some reason, jockey-gtk isn't available to me
hey folks, Im trying to setup my server for openvpn.  I got it working so far to the point where my client gets the right address on tap0 but I cant go anywhere on the client
it's installed, but it's not runable
anyone any idea?
Ian_Corne, just type jockey in the run command
nothing found
$ jockey
jockey: command not found
Ian_Corne: it is in software-properties-gtk in 12.10
aha
I followed this tut exactly, http://serverubuntu.it/openvpn-bridge-configuration
nice
it's weird to put it with software sources..
Ian_Corne, the run command is alt+f2 , not the terminal
toddnjamie, what happens when you type apt-cache search cnijfilter
doesn't work, it proposes jockey-text
nothing.
this is a novice question but, if i run the live system of ubuntu, it installs automatically the nvidia (original) drivers with 3d acceleration ? or how it is managed ?
Hi
toddnjamie, so either the PPA is offline for the moment, or there was an error with adding the ppa which I could not detect. try again a bit later, and if all else fails, contact the PPA maintainer
BluesKaj: I will ok :), as I said, it proposes jockey-txt, but the software-sources window has it now
ok...thank you.
maybe Mint ?
Ian_Corne, strange things going on with gnome/unity ...  losing touch
BluesKaj: yeah, they're just regrouping I guess, but it seems it would be beter suited to be in the software center
Hello.  12.10 with both Kubuntu and Ubuntu installed.  The screen keeps blanking after ~5min inactivity.  The fora responses to this problem are unhelpful.  I have the power settings and brightness / screensaver set to never.

are nvidia drivers supported in ubuntu ?
hello
wald0: people will answer if they know it, otherwise, folks stay silent
hi,
So, I have been tinkering around with windows/dos for 20 years and I finally got curious enough to try ubuntu yesterday.  Very interesting but I'm still very lost
Ian_Corne, I wasn't suggesting it was , merely pointing out there seem to be a lot of changes in ubuntu , that we don't see in kubuntu
ChogyDan: i thought that was a very common question...
any one see mu ques
wald0: you want to know how to install nvidia drivers in a live install?
i have an ubuntu server which has autoupgraded to 3.2.0-33 and I would like to rollback to 3.2.0-29 and freeze server in that "version 29", how can i do that?
http://pastebin.com/D2fNr3ae
ChogyDan: well, more like if the privative nvidia drivers run "out of the box" (by some automatic install) in live mode
uskerine: quick and dirty, just remove the linux meta packages.  You won't get anymore updates
pejamus, do you have an issue or questions ?
ChogyDan, sorry but I do not know how to remove the linux emta packages. :(
pejamus: why you are lost ? So much new things to learn ? :)
uskerine: very simple actually.  Just remove the linux packages you don't want, and the meta packages will get removed as a side affect.  ie, just remove 3.2.0-33 and make sure you still have 3.2.0-29 installed
actually, I installed the new version of steam on ubuntu.  I didn't know I hate to be registered in the beta.  Now I want to delete Steam, but don't know how.
ChogyDan, will that ensure that no new 3.2.0-3x packages will be installed?

Hey guys! I just type sudo apt-get install Gnome-Tweak-Tool. How do i start det program?! :O
Let me ask again, now with more info
and yes... this is a completely foreign territory to me

ok, let's try that then
kernan: open your menu in the upper left, and start to type/search for it
wald0: I suspect the answer is no, unless you use a live usb: http://askubuntu.com/questions/69432/livecd-with-nvidia-binary-drivers
ChogyDan so i just apt-get remove linux-headers-3.2.0-32, linux-headers-3.2.0-32-generic, linux-image-3.2.0-32-generic
?
ChogyDan: thx
hello all
uskerine: well, maybe, is that really the package names?  Also, aren't you worried about 33, not 32?
I want to freeze it in 29
i have 31,32 and 33
How long should a fsck last on a 6TB ext4 volume with lots of hard links (ie a backup disk)
I am following instructions: when i run "chroot /target /bin/bash' i get the error ='cannot change root directory to /target: no such file or directory" why am i getting this error, should target be something????
MenschMaschine: quite a long time, I'd say
hello, i have a bit of problems with my sound card driver i suppose. when i record or make a skype call the voice sound  wired. i know that its drivers fault because i tried another mic and in windows it worked well. how can i install the adequate driver for my card. http://paste.ubuntu.com/1370615/ . ps. in windows i used a realtek hd driver but ubuntu installs the wrong driver i think.
uskerine: yeah, that is how you do it.  Those are the correct versions.  Just do that for all three versions, 31, 32, 33, and you will be done.  It will stay on 29 still the next major upgrade
Mats: "/target" stands for the directory you want to chroot to,ie where you mounted a different install or whatever
Mats: so yes, target should be something
llutz: is there a way to check the current root
is there a way to check the current root?
is there any way to do a silent version upgrade?  it's seriously a pain to keep coming back to the upgrade in progress and find it has halted and wants me to click continue
causative: typically it should do that.  I think it is a bug if it doesn't
Mats: mount/df should tell
it should do what, be silent?
does updating the kernel alsoo mean a dist-upgrade as well?
well I've gotten several prompts
upgrading to 12.04
it should have been done half an hour ago
instead it has half an hour to go, plus I have to sit here
to keep it from stopping
causative: well, not ask questions.
TY
TY
well it does anyway so what can I do about that
maybe for the next upgrade since this is only to 12.04
so there will be another to 12.10
I don't remember exactly which modules were asking me questions
emacs-speak was the first
MenschMaschine: quite possibly, yes
MenschMaschine: is there any progress indication?  Does the drive show any signs of activity?
I asked my question on one line...after that is just discussing it
Hey, how do i install my nvidia drives?!
<causative> is there any way to do a silent version upgrade?  it's seriously a pain to keep coming back to the upgrade in progress and find it has halted and wants me to click continue
causative: it is just good to keep your responses to a single line as well, so other support can happen in this chat as well
I say things when I think of them, didn't think of everything at once
here how it does recored the sound for me. http://speedy.sh/9QsSh/2012-11-19-185942.ogg
Hi, I did something wrong with the partitioning while installing 12.04 some weeks ago.. I gave / 25gb and /home 120gb. /home is not being used, and it is mounted at /media. Now the / partition is full and I have 120 gb unused. How can I mount the right partition without breaking anything?
<causative> is there any way to do a silent version upgrade?  it's seriously a pain to keep coming back to the upgrade in progress and find it has halted and wants me to click continue.  I'm upgrading to 12.04 so will soon do another upgrade to 12.10.  I don't remember every package that was prompting me, but emacs-speak was one of them
Hm, a bit unclear that one.. lol
hello, unity is not loading with fglrx driver ? is there a workaround for this problem ?
mee_: try sudo apt-get install linux-headers-generic && sudo dpkg-reconfigure linux-image-$(uname -r)-generic
ChogyDan, removing 3x packages worked fine, now I am again in 29 and my digium card driver -which was compiled ad-hoc for 29- works fine
i will try, thanks
ChogyDan, thanks a lot
uskerine: yw
ItsAllGoneWierd: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Partitioning/Home/Moving
llutz: thx! :)
ciao
so emacspeak is one of them, a package I don't really need so I can just remove it
but that isn't the worst of them since it only prompted me at the beginning and the end
Hi how to install 12.04 lts and make the /boot partition on a flash usb drive ?
anyone did that ?
Make a 12.04 lts install where the /boot is on a usb flash ?
I have a problem when trying to install a package from source. where can i post multiple lines to show my issue?
Hello. What is the best way to upgrade Ubuntu on remote computer? I have 11.04 with TeamViewer there now, and want to upgrade to 12.04, but I think it will remove TeamViewer on upgrade, right?
alright here's another prompt that I remember getting before
"what would you like to do about menu.lst?" options are to keep the local version currently installed, install the new version, or do some investigation and diffing
I remember that message appearing right in the middle of the installation stopping everything
how can I suppress it in the future?
/boot/grub/menu.lst
Here is my issue http://paste.ubuntu.com/1370658/
lonewulf85: you need to install the -dev versions of those packages I believe
ChogyDan: I will try that and see if it helps. Thanks
|strider|: why do you want to do that?  seems risky do put /boot on random drives
:)  ChogyDan well, no risk no reward :)
what's the easiest and quickest way to make ubuntu a lot faster and smoother. I don't care for the heavy gui and all that fluff, my computer is ancient and I have to wait like 30 seconds in between commands
Anyone? What is the best way to Upgrade Ubuntu on remote computer behind NAT?
I have a OpenSuSE install with boot on that same device.
My problem is far more complex and I am starting to use the 12.04 LTs as a reference install
I actu7ally like Unity
So the idea is this, first install 12.04 and the boot on usb flash
|strider|: if a clean install, I would just use the manual partitioner to setup /boot, and see what happens
ChogyDan I just did that and ... I boot from flash directly to a grub rescue prompt ?!?!
my processor is running at 100% and I don't know why, what can I do?
i run ubuntu on ufds for a long time
I made some ls to investigate and everything seems to be in place.
ChogyDan Also the partition I used on the flash is a Bootable ext3 primary partition ... nothing there to make a wrong boot device?!
ChogyDan: The only development package that I can find that is not installed right now is libgnome2.0 cli dev do you think that would help?
|strider|: that means it didn't work.  I dunno, maybe try this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootPartition
Anyone Is there a reason for ubuntu installer to dislike a usb flash for /boot ?
Also I tried to make the bootloader both on /dev/sdc and /dev/sdc1 the disk and the disk partition. ... same result .
does grub care where the partition is? maybe it can't see it
I really think that since Grub2 Problem on boot have Multiplied by 100 X !
Grub 2 is  a Real Problem on many distros!
Hey! I have had ubuntu on my nexus 7 for some days, but want to get back to regular android. I followed the steps on this page: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Nexus7/Installation#Returning_your_Nexus_7_to_Stock_Android But I can't get it to work
you don't need grub for multibooting
Malimbar ... Grubn install detects the partitions with no problem
I re ran the install command and got this consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if your libraries are in a nonstandard prefix so pkg-config can find them. any ideas?
So at least the installer "see's" the partitions ...
By the way this did not happen to me on the previous LTS installs ?
?!
lonewulf85: erm, did you install libglib2.0-dev?
I donw know how to "place your machine into fastboot mode".
ChogyDan: my synaptics says I already have it installed.
Is it someway to install mySQL socket whitout install mySQL?
fyksen: http://www.jayceooi.com/2012/08/16/google-nexus-7-fastboot-mode/
uu sorry for the late reply but ... what do you sugest?
how can I uninstall ubuntu's default screen environment and install something lighter like lxkd or whateven it's called
I cano not choose the bootloader from what I can see in the installer menus ...
hello any one deal with zimbra mail server
Ah... I'll try once more: what is the best way to upgrade Ubuntu on remote PC behind NAT? I have autostarting TeamViewer, will it be ok?
shvchk: I think the upgrade tool will tell you what will be removed, so you may be able to check
Another question is there a problem to upgrade from 11.10 LTS to 12.04 LTS ? both 64 bits ?
ChogyDan: thanks, I will check. Also, I have 11.04, is there a way to upgrede directly to 12.04, or I have to go through 11.10 first?
Sorry for the question but I am newb to Ubuntu
I'm trying to install vmware player on ubuntu but I'm running into some problems
shvchk: there is only 10.04->12.04 and 11.10->12.04, so you do have to go through
ChogyDan: thanks
so ChogyDan no way to go from 11.10 to 12.04 right ?
america/win 19
ww
|strider|: ? of course there is.  I don't follow
|strider| why? He said there is 11.10->12.04. Mb you mean 10.10?
|strider|, what version of Ubuntu are you actually on>?
ChogyDan I think i can install 11.04 with no problem on this laptop ... so I would like to know if I can upgrade from 11.04 to 12.04 ...
is there command that executes given script for file motification events?
|strider|, 11.04 -> 12.04 can't be done directly, you'd have to upgrade to 11.10 first.  Just install 12.04 or 11.10
inotify?
I have currently no Ubuntu installed only OpenSuSE 11.4, I want to install 12.04
OK!
please does anyone have any idea of how i can browse anonymously for free?
there you go good folks !
|strider|, you can install 12.04 directly on, you know...
|strider|: so just do an install of 12.04
I am certain that What I want done is possible in 11.04 .. so 11.04 -> 11.10 -> 12.04 !
:)
|strider|, why do the extra work?
|strider|, 12.04 is the latest, you don't have to install Older and upgrade to newer :/
Because 12.04 does not install /boot on a usb flash drive.
and you want to do this why?
So I have to resort to the upgrade way ...
Because I need many primary partitions on my hd ...
Encryption requirements
Does anyone know if you can use netbootin to format a hard drive and load a copy of ubuntu onto said hard drive?
I use luks encription on many partitions, namelly /, /home and swap
|strider|, you didnt explain why you need /boot off the drive
i wondered why i couldn't boot on lvm under xen dom0 but the reason is quite simple: whole /dev/sda hard disk is missing... no wonder it can't find partitions
|strider|, /boot from off of the hard drive makes life very hard.
Another Security Measure
doesn't count.
its not an actual security measure :p
No bootloader and luks headers ... no decoding of the partitions ...
no bootloader, no system.
Also :)
Another Advantage
what happens when you lose the USB stick
and stop using enter every line :P
No problem!
in the failing initramfs shell the /dev/sr0 is present and can be read
No problem Whatsoever ... just a Re.install ...
... right...
your setup's not logical, so i'm going to go back to fixing my netbook,.
:)
please does anyone know of a free application i can use to hide my i.p
My laptop is a professional machine, it carries Finantial information, I can not risk a loss
I'm getting a vmware error message on ubuntu
I work in programming, J2EE
I'm trying to get it up and running
babyswizz: I think tor.  Depends on what usage you are using
|strider|: make sure you have backups  ;)
And I take serios encryption measures, due t an unfortunate event in the past.
ChogyDan Absolutelly. I have Dual back-up raid 10 systems encrypted also !
Just in case:)
ChogyDan, i just need to open some sites while hiding my i.P
TheLordOfTime will try my best to not use enter
babyswizz: yeah, than I think tor is what you are looking for
|strider|: why not just use encrypted virtual machine?
if anyone has any experience using xen under ubuntu, i'd really like to hear what could cause physical drives to go missing under dom0?
Xard: Hardware issues.
ChogyDan, can i use software center to install it?
encrypted vm's are a very good solution shvchk, a very good solution if my machine was a bit more "rsponsive", it is adual-athlon, so not that good for VBox or vmware
bekks: hardware issues like? the drives work just fine under normal kernel
Is is possible to print through Wine? The available drivers for my printer don't work on Ubuntu 12.04.
Mailman: I don't think so.  Maybe through virtualbox
ChogyDan, thanks a bunch
Xard: Do you have any messages in dmesg pointing to that issue?
bekks: i'm just wading through the logs at the moment
But i really find it very very bizare that the installer recognizes the partition of the flash drive and does not boot after install.
anyone else try the netflix ubuntu app?
bekks: i already had a really stupid problem with uefi boot causing xen to crash before reaching dom0 ;<
th3pun15h3r: I heard about it
after upgrading to 12.04 my wireless has stopped working... I believe I was using the ath9k module for it previously.  I tried modprobe ath9k but that didn't make it start working, what should I try next?
Funny ! if the boot goes to hdd there is no problem for 12.04 !
causative: try: sudo lshw -C networking          see if a driver is loaded
ChogyDan, no results
|strider|: I think you need to have the same boot device that you boot off of that you had setup grub onto
ubuntu is inlow graphic mode (witch is new for me because usually works fine) how can I solve this
zvacet: what graphics card?
causative: sudo lshw -C network
ChogyDan: ATI  HD 3200
ChogyDan, I did that and got no results
so, /var/log/xen/ seems to be empty and no trace of logs elsewhere, and why there would be as dom0 cannot find / mount / write to /var/log
ChogyDan: but it works just fine until today ( and yes I did some stuff)
causative: ok.  I posted the wrong command earlier.  I thought that was the issue.
zvacet: well, you should probably describe what you did, as best you can, and in one line
ChogyDan I had exactly that, choose on install /dev/sdc and also place bootloader on /ev/sdc
HI there
oh sorry it was the issue, with the revised command I did get some results
I am on 12.04
well this sucks. see that bit on the right sicking out? this page isn't doesn't support the firefox web browser. http://i49.tinypic.com/20kvfib.jpg
there's the ethernet interface and then there's a network that is listed as UNCLAIMED
and have a USB external HDD
what is the command to see what is running on your box?
so I think that's probably the wireless interface
1 minute let me transfer it to this computer so I can pastebin it
but ubuntu doesn't detect it
ChogyDan: I installed xubuntu desktop following http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/purexubuntu
can anyone help?
To be precise: I choose /boot to go to /dev/sdc1 (flash) and mount that has /boot, and choose the option of placing bootloader on /dev/sdc, and second attempt /dev/sdc1
causative: yeah, that's an issue
what is the command to see what is running on your box?
zvacet: make sure that linux-headers-generic is installed, and try reinstalling your graphics drivers
Hey guys when I try to install ubuntu I get a "panic occured, switching back to text console"
ChogyDan: brb
Unable to get my external HDD working on ubuntu 12.04, tried googling, but didn't help.
you trying to use the software to run it?
ChogyDan, results of sudo lshw -C network http://pastebin.com/ByTEdEzk
I just installed vmware player successfully on my ubuntu. Do I need to update anything else
.
what is the command to see what is running on your box?
ChogyDan : headers where installed so I just reinstalled radeon driver
ChogyDan, so is this telling me I don't have the driver for it?  maybe the driver was removed as part of the upgrade?
causative: that's broadcom, not ath9k.  Right?
I'm working on an ubu server based portable game thing, details not important
Hey guys. I have been messing around with python and I installed some modules (requests, json, etc). My computer died unexpectedly and now it is telling me the modules don't exist. I am guess that I lost some files. Is there any way to make sure I didn't lose any crucial system files?
causative: I think so.  I would look into installing broadcom drivers.  I don't know about them; they seem to be a pain for folks
when ubuntu boots, it sits at a blank screen with a blinking cursor for an insufferably long time and won't tell me what it's doing
I'm trying to get a program running and am told to "Then add this line to your /etc/apt/sources.list file:
deb     http://deb.torproject.org/torproject.org <DISTRIBUTION> main " how do i go about this
how do I get a more verbose boot?
ChogyDan, you're right.  So I must have had broadcom drivers previously
NICK c0d3m0nk3y
would the upgrade have deleted them, or if not how could I re-enable them?
babyswizz: gksu gedit /etc/apt/sources.list and add that whole line to the end
ChogyDan: ?
zvacet: did it work?  try: dkms status
ChogyDan: so I should reboot now?
causative: it doubt the upgrade deleted them, but you have a new kernel.  Maybe you just need to reinstall them since they aren't opensource.  I don't know about broadcom stuff.  Try installing linux-headers-generic, and see if you can install them in software sources (if you are running 12.10)
zvacet: yeah, give it a go
installing anything over the network right now is a little problematic
I guess I could set that up
but is there any way to maybe download the module onto a USB and install from there?
zvacet: dkms status    that will actually tell you if the driver is installed
causative: have you tried booting from an old kernel?  that might work.  And sorry, I have NO experience with broadcom.  I'm just give general hints based on my exprience with nvidia drivers
ChogyDan, problem is now solved
I tried modprobe b43 and as luck would have it that worked
ok, I have ntp.conf configured, i have traffic going out and comming back to the server asking for ntp updates. the damn box is just not setting the new date.
so all I have to do now is add b43 to /etc/modules right
Hey guys, when I try to install ubuntu I get a "panic occured, switching back to text console" and then it just sits there
causative: lol, ok.  Ya, something like that.
this is a 12.04 server. i also have a 10.04 server on the same host doing the exact same thing
thanks ChogyDan
if i do ntpdate servername.  it works but..that is not the same thing as ntp service.
this is rediculas.
grendal_prime: Whats the difference between the server time and the current real time?
10 hours
grendal_prime: Since that is far more than 1 hour, it will take a few days until that difference is eliminated.
?
serioiusly
i have reset it several times..it quickly jumps out of sync.
grendal_prime: Seriously. Thats how ntp works. It will NOT adjust the ntp drift to fir thos large difference.
*to fit those large differences.
ok..thats what i always though but ive asked this question before and was told...that was bs
so run ntpdate..get it close..then run ntp service.
grendal_prime: And of course you forgot to delete the ntp.drift file? :)
I'm trying to install a program and am asked to run a command "apt-get update" as root. what do i do?
of course i did  because ive never had to do any of this before
oh my
=X
babyswizz: Run that. It will fetch package update information from the official repos.
so delete the drift file before restarting service, or...what would be the order of execution on this.
grendal_prime: Thats what caused the jumps you experienced :)
hi, I've done the updates on ubuntu 12.10 and now my dash and status bar have both disappeared
grendal_prime: stop ntp service, delete the drift, adjust using ntpdate, restart ntp service
babyswizz, use "sudo apt-get update "
no sure what happened
stop ntp, kill the drift, run ntpdate, strart service
Hello, i'm having trouble setting up my wifi on elementaryOS (based on ubuntu 10.10)
my card is a bcm 4312 (14e4:4315)
got it thanks guys, sorry for the colorfull language ive just been beating this up off and on for a long time now.
i want to use the b43 pkg
 Okarin /join #elementary
i have not found anything that even mentions deleting the drift file
Okarin  elemantary is not supportede here and 10.10 is eol
xangua, MonkeyDust i'm already there..
bekks, when i ran it i got there errors http://paste.ubuntu.com/1370796/
babyswizz: sudo apt-get update
thanks everyone i saw my mistake
babyswizz: you have to use sudo apt-get update
apparently elementary is based on 12.04
so anyway
lets pretend i'm using ubuntu
who can help me figure out why my wifi isn't working ?
Okarin  too late, we know you're not
MonkeyDust, you can still help me --'
Okarin  we don't know how the elementary guys changed things
Okarin: you are not and as you were told before 10.10 is also no longer supported
xangua : its based on 12.04 !
not 10.10
you said it yourself...
and i remember i got the same error with ubuntu years ago
xangua yes and i was wrong, i checked
Okarin: wikipedia states it is based on 10.10
i asked an admin
Okarin: However, it is no Ubuntu, and no official spin off.
Hey guys...so I just removed python to get rid of some errors it was throwing me from my computer shutting off....then my computer (While i was away) started removing literally all of my programs...I no longer have gnome and apt-get wont work
I cant back my data up
What do I do?
Okarin: what's the ifconfig ?
cakeboss  can you ctrl-alt F1 and login?
MonkeyDust: yes
MonkeyDust: I am right now
what do you want to know about ifconfig pikaciu ?
Okarin: the output
Is it possible to enable user_xattr on a wubi install?
When I try and install the additional fglrx AMD driver my system is stalling, what should I do?
pikaciu, http://pastie.org/5402661
Okarin: try install  firmware-b43-installer
already did that
pikaciu: Okarin /join #elementary
Although now it's saying that the driver is in use, I still can't get my HDMI display to work.
hello, how can I make bootable usb stick with ubuntu 12.10 on windows?
unetbootin supports only 12.04 version of ubuntu
arg im still stuck with no sound
and it won't work, my card is bcm4312, i needed the firmware-b43-lpphy-installer
arnsa: just open unetbootin and select the 12.10 iso
Hello
xangua but unetbootin supports only up to 12.04 version
is it still okay?
xangua, there is as much difference between ubuntu and elementary than between ubuntu and kubuntu, so now lets just fix my problem, which isn't related to ubuntu (it was doing the same thing on debian)
I'm having an issue getting a black screen after installing 12.10
hi
xangua on the settings I can only choose versions of ubuntu which are up to 12.04
I can't figure out how to get nomodeset
so i have audio devices showing up under lspci but not under arecord -l and my sound options show "Dummy Output"
I was able to access the grub menu by holding down the shift key just as the screen went black. The instructions I read said to change to nomodeset, but no such menu appears. All I get is Ubuntu, Ubuntu in recovery mode, and other options having to do with Mac OSX. I chose recovery mode, and again, there's no option for nomodeset. I try the failsafe for graphics recovery, then return when Yes is highlighted.
Did anyone try the new Netflix solution? We got it to work on my buddies Ubuntu install, but now it opens Firefox in Wine each time you try to do anything with Firefox?
Is the onboard AMD F2 A6 graphics supported by ubuntu?
i thought they had a beta linux client
Hello i need  help im trying to make a new ubun tu startup / install cd. When i put in a blankcd it tells me can not mount something is already mounted
I've also tried control-command-F1 to try to get a terminal. I got a grub prompt, but no command I entered was found, including all the ones listed it would recognize, much less sudo or apt-get.
designbybeck you probably have to mess around with the defaults
Anyone know how to get nomodeset during the first boot? Or how to enter terminal commands?
hmmm ChogyDan like the defauls as in default Settings?
designbybeck maybe

how to unmount what ever is taking my CR-R spot? So i can burn a  ubuntu isntall cd
I've been trying to get an install of 12.10 on my Mac Pro for the last three days. I'm sorry but I don't understand why this has to be so hard.
just did a new 12.10 install; I did not end up with the nvidia driver as I have before on this box.  How can I determine the proper graphics card driver to be using?
rlinsurf, did you check the mactel pages for your machine ? https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MactelSupportTeam/CommunityHelpPages
yes, I have
i followed all the instructions there.
that's how I got this far
thank you for responding :)
d4rkh4nd8, try this sudo umount /media/cdrom0/ -l
rlinsurf, ah oke, you have ubuntu running now
no
On 12.10, how do I log in 2d? Nvidia graphics on this laptop is screwed up
I was able to install it, but not get past the black screen.
it said to hold down shift at the black screen to get the grub menu
rlinsurf, i do not own a mac, but did you try the nomodeset option ?
highlight the first entry and change quiet splash to nomodeset
right
that's what I'm trying to do
but the grub menu only says "Ubuntu" and Recovery mode
I thought it was esc to set boot options
no options to change anything to nomodeset
press e to edit?
OerHeks, ah "e"!
which one should I do... "ubuntu"?
and then it will let me change to nomodeset?
can you tell me how to access a working terminal?
I tried control-alt-f1
that gets me a grub prompt
but no commands are recognized
even those listed as being acceptable.
Anyone know anything about no sound device
rlinsurf: what happens when you select 'ubuntu'?
rlinsurf, after 'e'and edit the line with nomodeset, Press 'ctrl' + 'x' to boot
ah
how to unmount what ever is taking my CR-R spot? So i can burn a  ubuntu isntall cd
ok, i'll try that.
thank you :)
bbl :)
good luck :)
Thanks :)
hash_ as in, theres none recognized?
Yes
d4rkh4nd8  try fuser -m or umount -vl
do you know what yours is?
okay
hash_, opeen terminal, and type "alsamixer" .. press F6 to select soundcard ( if any )
 When the reporter of c2050 asked about Ubuntu, Linus said, "I think Ubuntu crowd is a bunch or masturbating monkeys obsessed with KISS principle, forcing users to use the stupid command line." o.O
gonyere, I have an audio device listed under lspci but none under arecore -l
hash_, there is an extended sound problem procedure described here
arnsa: do you have a link to that ?
OerHeks, cannot open mixer: No such file or directory
ah Thanks Oerheks.
hi all
hey guys im setting up dependencies for my package and i can see libqt4-core as well as libqtcore4
quick question: I want to work using emacs in the terminal, but the terminal blinks too fast (the ttys). how can I lower the terminal blink rate?
hey there
my lcd keeps going black randomly, then coming back
suppose this is a driver or resolution issue?
hello there
the trouble shooting was the one i was using last night i used the: find /lib/modules/`uname -r` | grep snd and had a long list like it said, i did a reboot and still nothing
i have a quick question: is www-data (user/group) equivalent to apache or webalizer in other distros?
using the lspci -v | grep -A7 -i "audio" i get 2 audio devices listed
I have a quick question. Can someone tell me how to enable my universe and multiverse repositories? So far the only webpage I've found to help doesn't make much sense to me.
Running Ubuntu 12.04 64-bit, fresh install. I can't seem to run apt-get update - http://paste.ubuntu.com/1370888/
hash_, is this a laptop ?
MonkeyDust: can i get that in english it out put all germen or something lol
Anyone know what programs could be running that are preventing it fro updating?
blackness, no its a desktop sound was working a few days ago
SierraAR, moment.
FWEEEEEP
hash_, pastebin the output of sudo lshw -C audio please
Wow 12.10 absolutely failed on this 4 year old hp laptop
and i know my cards not bad, logged on with windows with the welcome sound
jakepetroules: a transitional package is just an empty package to satisfy dependencies, which happens when a package gets renamed, so the one you want is the libqtcore4, though the transitional package will install this
oh, sorry. I was summoned. Disregard this.
blackness, nevermind. Restarted terminal and now it's working
SierraAR, what windows manager are you running?
blackness, Windows manager?
yes, openbox, gnome, kde, ldxe, and so on.
some Window managers have a "package update" in the taskbar notifying you of updates, but dont issue a popup.
there is no drift file being writen
blackness, how do i pastebin outputs
there was no drift file to delet
blackness,  Ah, can't remember off the top of my head. It's whatever comes default with 12.04
I was wondering if someone could help me enable universe and multiverse repositories on my laptop..thanks in advance...
hash_, sudo apt-get install pastebinit; sudo lshw -C audio | pastebinit
SierraAR, then that would be unity ;)
bekks
bekks, dude tried that procedure..but there is no drift file to delete
blackness, yeah, that's it. Couldnt remember the name xD
SierraAR, i perfer gnome or openbox for my desktop env.
Hey, is someone else unable to do an Apt-get install
?
jakepetroules: doesn't look like * was renamed, just core, I see other normal packages that are libqt4-something
Is it possible to disable the fast user switching in 12.10? I'm not sure if "fast user switching" is the correct term. I am referring to clicking the cog/power icon on the top right and getting the dropdown menu that lets you switch to another user in one click. Can that be disabled?
NetworkRenderer_, they reloaded the terminal and it fixed it.
blackness, it says you are trying to send an empty document, exiting.
grendal_prime: Where did you look for that file?
jakepetroules: no idea when it was changed, but seems to go back to lucid at least
trism: what version is lucid
NetworkRenderer_, what's the error it's giving?
in the same place the config file points to
ok hash_ try: sudo lshw -C audio, does this print anything out?
jakepetroules: 10.04
trism: k thanks
/var/lib/ntp/ntp.drift
if its not -C audio, its -C sound
and some other temp errors
Anyone able to help me with cant read blank cd-r  MSG Error" Loacation already mounted .....
hash_, sudo lshw -C sound | pastebinit
that should give you sound cards.
something else when i try and ntptrace this server that it got the proper time from (using ntpdate)  i get this...
its sound
grendal_prime: according to man 8 ntpd the default is /etc/ntp.drift
ntpq: connect: Network is unreachable
I need help enabling universe and multiverse repositories on my laptop. Thanks in advance.
blackness, http://paste.ubuntu.com/1370909/
default config does not point to there
hash_, theres no driver for your sound card :/
did you change/remove any packages or configuration files?
getting lunch...brb
blackness, uh not to my knowledge
toddnjamie: software center, edit, sources, others
blackness, how do i reinstall my drivers
toddnjamie, http://askubuntu.com/questions/148638/how-do-i-enable-the-universe-repository
thank you!!!
hash_, give me a moment please..
hash_, what version of ubuntu?
sure thing
11.10
Greetings. I'm having some trouble getting grub-reboot to work. It doesn't seem to be having any effect. I'm on 12.04 LTS
#pocoo
Hope this can get me some help lol    http://i1299.photobucket.com/albums/ag79/D4rkH4nd/Screenshotfrom2012-11-19130438.png
The instructions for enabling the Uncomplicated firewall says to use sudo.  Is it possible to enable it without sudo?
srj235: no. Are you not the administrator of the computer?
desktop hash_ ?
Yes blackness.
I avoid it whenever possible
okay. lemme read this real quick.
srj235: a firewall is something that requires administrator access to maintain, so you will need to us sudo.
this is my full error-message when i try to get mysql-server: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1370924/
hash_, have you tried any of these ? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshootingProcedure
follow the 11.10 sections.
Im doing it now blackness, thanks
Welcome.
im not sure how to manually load a sound driver..
I see.  At least I'm not directly modifying a script file.  I'll have to follow direct orders exactly on this one, but eventually no one has root access.
Ubuntu shuts down and boots up so much faster than windows 7 did XD
yeah the server-version faster than the desktop :D
Is grub-reboot supposed to immediately reboot the machine or the temporary change supposed to happen on the next reboot?
i would say next reboot Achillion  --  what if you changed your mind. ;) you wouldent want it to do a reboot as soon as you do the command
I just thought it might be a sort of substitute of the "reboot" command
Is it possible to hide the log out/shutdown/user switching options from the system menu in the top right of unity in 12.10?
Is there a way to disable the 'guest session' option in 12.04
hey guys i got some real issues can any one help i cant install or delete samba with out it throwing tons of issues and this will be an exstended process to correct it so we might as well get a temperary chan for this so i can post whats going on

Evil_Eric: How about just telling us which problems you are experiencing?
bekks ok hold on ill pastebin it
I switched over to ubuntu from centos a while back and I have to say, It's a way better distro and community
I should have stuck with 12.04
* DrManhattan has stuck with 12.04 since its release. Good stuff there.
why not 12.10? :o
i like 12.10.
Akiva-Mobile  backup first and fresh install 12.04
I followed this guide : https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bumblebee but when running 'optirun glxspheres', it says that can't load the GPU, [ I am running NVIDIA GT4xx on my dell xps 15 ]
Hi, i have a question, im developing my own nfs(version3) server and tried to mount it in ubuntu(12.04.1) im mounting with the following command "sudo mount -o vers=3,soft,intr,rsize=8192,wsize=8192,nosuid, 192.168.x.x: /nfs" and the result i get "access denied by server while mounting 192.168.x.x:".. but im 100% sure that there was no access denied the only thing i can think of is that im not running any kind of lock service, could that be th
problem?
I havent messed with 12.10 yet. 12.04 has worked like a champ for me
http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/1370961/
This is rediculous. It eminds me of having to edit .xorg
oe noes evil
Akiva-Mobile: there is no .xorg file in my X11/
thats what i say
barak obama online net

Taking out unity 2d seems to be my problem. My screen is chopping itself up and sflipping and crashing
well not samba related anythings anyway

Evil-Eric: what's the output of testparm ?
DrManhattan, samba does rule but not when its fouled up

Evil-Eric: just type it
so testparm samba
Evil-Eric: just testparm

ubuntu 12.10 did show a driver for my grpahics card does it mean its already working?
-_- i never see it ahahhahaha
did show what where exactky matt_ ?
this is a support channel xxxx for chat go to #ubuntu-offtopic
xxxx: This is a support channel for ubuntu, if you want a general chat channel, please use #ubuntu-offtopic
Was wondering if anyone might be willing to chat about some ubuntu installation problems i cant seem to remedy
So i think the bugreporting system is cloged up somehow, anyone have a handy link that could remedy this?.
Mmm 12.10 is a graphics disaster
sos ive been trying to install 12.10
Why does installing libiodbc try to install almost everything KDE related?
Had very few issues in 12.10 here with my nvidia system
Why does installing libiodbc try to *UNinstall almost everything KDE related?
and ive been mounting putting the iso on a usb drive....but it keeps telling me certain files did not copy correctly??
Hi all anyone could say me channel android developers
Is there a way to run program at startup (on a server) without using an init.d script? I know I've done it in the past, but I do not recall what I did.
Akiva-Mobile, yeah closed source graphics drivers suck :(, then theres the impending wayland, wich will probobly be awesome, but having basic functionally crippled like this really puts a downer on previous hard work put into the whole user friendly enviorment.
i thought ubuntu was know for its support community
I guess it has it's quiet times
Bob-Wiley: We need details before we can troubleshoot.
I will repeat them. I mounted Ubuntu ISO 12.10 to a usb drive....using the recommended usb software...and when i try to install 12.10 it says that the files didnt copy correctly and that i should try slowing down my burn speed
martian:  /etc/rc.local
i have tried this with multiple usb's ranging in quality
i have burned disks in the past
ubuntu's filles always seem to get corrupted
Bob-Wiley:   can just 'dd' the iso file straight to usb and  have a bootable install image that way.
its possible theres some hardware issues going on. dmesg command output may give a clue
clevermnt
dr_willis, i followed the websites recomendation to use their software...but it sounds like its worth a shot?
slower burn speed to a usb flash drive? or do you mean you have a usb optical drive>
Bob-Wiley:  theres dozens of tools at the pendrivelinux web site also
no, UBUNTU assumes im using a burnt disk....so it recomends a slower burn speed. but it makes no sense since im using a usb
You are using that usb-disk-creator tool?
yes
how can I recover my password for nickserv?
ToyImp: please ask in #freenode
ToyImp:  ask in #freenode
kk sorry
for what ever reason, it works for linux mint like a charm every time
Bob-Wiley:  i tnd to use the pendrive linux tools or just image the iso straight to flash
but everytime i want ubuntu i run into problems
Bob-Wiley:  you did verify the md5 of the iso file?
i think there was a verify option on the mounting software....and that was enabled
ciao a tutti
Bob-Wiley Have you tried UNetbootin?
So repartitioning my external, and ubuntu screen goes black...
12.10 might have just eaten my external harddrive
:!list
I have a problema with the Ubuntu dvd's delivereded
apparently my 12.10 installation of ubuntu doesn't have 3D acceleration working properly. Can anybody help me to troubleshoot?
I tried to setup Ubuntu one but it just says "Getting information, please wait.." forever. Does this ever stop?
VlanX: Which GPU?
Galvatron: i'm using the integrated VGA on i5's processors.
Galvatron: should be HD3000. When i start vmware it tells me that it can't find any 3D acceleration support on the host.
Question. Getting ubuntu installed for an old man wh has an old amd64 hp laptop.
I tried to setup Ubuntu one but it just says "Getting information, please wait.." forever. Is this normal?
Should I just get him 12.04 32, or 12.10 64
Akiva-Mobile: Why not 12.04 64bit?
Bekks just seemse that it is not recomended
Bekks as if 32 is more stable
If you got 64bit hardware. use 64bit OS
Hi. How do i make a bootable usb flash ? Or how do install Unetbootin ? I am using Ubuntu 12.10
how do I hide?
Its reccomended as a form of idiot proofing.. if someone has no idea what 32/64bit means or what their hardare is.. then they suggest the failsafe option
srj235: duck :)
When i select Linux-Unet. it downloads an executable.
select what from where?
I'm using Gnome classic in Ubuntu 12.04. I used to be able to mouseover on the weather applet to get details when I used 10.04, but now need t left click to see these details. How do I fix this?
please any good links on how a beginner can effective learn how to use python
babyswizz: #python would be a good start
python has to be one of the most documented languages in existance. ;)
Hey guys. I was in here about an hour ago. I ran 'apt-get remove python' and ubuntu started removing a bunch of system files (gnome etc) and now my computer can hardly work. I am able to log in and get to the desktop
what do I need to do?
cakeboss: why removing python?
cakeboss:  reinstall ubuntu-desktop package woul dbe a good start
cakeboss: its a very stupid idea
Hi!
VlanX: Try congiguring X, with "X -configure".
Is there a way to check when a new update was available.
All I can see from synaptic is the version name, I want the date as well.
pici, how is #python a link
iceroot: I know. My computer died randomly and it messed up python horribly (it couldnt recognize native modules)
So I thought I would uninstall/reinstall
babyswizz: its a channel. You're in #ubuntu, we do not do programming help here.
dr_willis: how do I do that?
pici, ok i get you now
ElixirVitae: i guess looking with a browser on the repo and the timestamp when the package was created is one way, another is "apt-get changelog packagename" but when it was installed on the system is not that easy to find out, only with parsing logfiles
No I don't mean when it is installed, I can see it from apt/synaptic.
I want to see when a package was released, preferably without going to package maintainers' website
hi, trying to run a gui application script from lightdm.conf using greeter-setup-script. but it doesn't work
ElixirVitae: apt-get changelog packagename
the gui application is onboard
cakeboss:  use recovery mode, apt-get install packagename
any idea how i can get onboard to start with lightdm-gtk-greeter?
It displays the same text from synaptic.
ElixirVitae: and what is wrong with that information?
It does say the package version, yes, but not when it was released/made available.
does anyone know of a program that will let me stream my desktop as a webcam?  (i want to go on tinychat/stickam/otherwebcamsite and be able to show my desktop like i would my webcam)
novaspirit,  yeah use the the little dude that is in circle that is in light dm menu
well pannel

ElixirVitae:  -- Adam Conrad <adconrad@ubuntu.com>  Fri, 27 Apr 2012 10:17:02 -0
bekks, ya there is NO file on my machine anywhere named ntp.drift
ElixirVitae: that is the changelog from vim, is 27.04.2012 10:17:02 not enough?
werid
bobweaver, it's not there. this is lightdm-gtk-greeter
cameron_:  'webcamstudio' i belive has thta feature and a 1000x more
Actually, let me try that with another package.
grendal_prime: What exactly happens when setting the time with ntpdate and starting ntp afterwards?
cameron_:  its not in the repos. ya got to get it from its homepage
bobweaver, i looked in the greeter.ui. and it's not in there either
ElixirVitae: the changelog-syntax is always the same for every package
dr_willis: i downloaded it and it never opened?
doesnt seem to do anything. and the time does not keep up.
cameron_:  its worked well for me... You did actually install it? ;)
next thing i know its 10 hours out of sync
novaspirit,  I do not know that much about light dm maybe if you tell it to start at all points in orca settings
bobweaver, would you happen to have a greeter.ui that i  can check with the xml layout of onboard?
cameron_:  it is written in java so it may need specific java versions
cameron_:  no need to msg me. ;) kepe it in the channel
Hmm, it is easy to see when I try it firefox.
ahh okay
But not for chromium.
dr_willis: so what do i need to do?
and ntp is running i can isolate the ntpd process
grendal_prime: Could you please do the following and pastebin both the commands and their output?: sudo service ntp stop; date; sudo ntpdate pool-ntp.org; date; sudo service ntp start; sleep 10; date
dr_willis: i went here, http://www.ws4gl.org/download/installing-on-ubuntu , and downloaded the .deb file
grendal_prime: type: it is pool.ntp.org
dr_willis: all it does is hang at the screen and keeps loading
sure will do
cameron_:  all what does?
* Evil_Eric screams and throws his laptop out a window 
dr_willis: the program
http://www.ws4gl.org/download/installing-on-ubuntu  gives some addational directions. no idea how valid it is. the app is over a year old.
hello all, i am trying to increase "nofile" using /etc/security/limits.conf but wen i do ulimit -n it is still 1024
ElixirVitae:  -- Ken VanDine <ken.vandine@canonical.com>  Fri, 07 Sep 2012 17:04:42 -0500
ElixirVitae: i dont see the problem, as i said, its always the same syntax, always the last line under the changed
dr_willis: yeah thats what i use, but it seems to not be working
xsl: Did you log out completely and back in?
dr_willis: should i upload a screenshot and post here to show you what it does?
iceroot, that was way in the bottom of the changelog, I thought it should be near the top.
Many thanks~
it was a user that was not logged in yet ( www-data )
Found it as well.
cameron_:  you did careate a video group like the docs say?
ElixirVitae: its always the last line for a changelisting
ElixirVitae: syntax is version \n changelisting \n autor + date
bekks, i want to increase the number of nofiles that nginx  can open ( the user is www-data )
dr_willis: it says not needed with 10.04, and since i use 12.04 i didn't think i needed to
I see.
And while I am at it, why is there so many PPAs for Chromium?
cameron_:  could add one anyway and see.. but I dontknow the gui way to do it in 12.10
we'll ill try adding one and see if that works
gimme a few.
cameron_:  some info at   http://ubuntuportal.com/2012/04/webcamstudio-virtual-webcam-apps-with-cool-effect.html  in the comments
xsl: And did you stop nginx completely before doing that change and restarted it afterwards?
dr_willis: alright thanks i'll take a look
bekks, after i did the change i used su - www-data and checked ulimit -Hn and ulimit -Sn and nothing changed
let me see if nginx is stoped
I am trying to send an e-mail from the command line, but no luck. here is what I am doing:::echo "<b>the test</b>" | mail -s "$(echo -e "This is the subject\nContent-Type: text/html")"  me@gmail.com
does anyone know if there is a way to do this?
Normally I just use emacs when coding. Need to do some OpenBSD coding on my nix machine. Can propolice be integrated into emacs. Thinking about canaries like random, xor and terminator. Also need to look at stack-smashing protection.
This form *nix
be nice to see webcamstudio get officially in the repos., :) its a very nifty app.

anyone here well versed in arch?
JC__: in #ubuntu?
JC__: try #archlinux
JC__ why. You hate pacman?
the irratating thing. ive done this before...
and it eventually falls behind again
grendal_prime: Is it a vm?
yes
grendal_prime: :D
grendel prime, oh hecky yeah, i have read almost all grendel comics
JC__ Arch is a damn nice distro. Just don't like the blobs in the kernel.
grendal_prime: Is it a vbox vm?
kvm
should that matter if it is reaching a machine on the outside.  it can ping them
grendal_prime: Then you are experiencing the fact that the time source is dynamic from inside the vm. Using vbox e.g., you could use the host as time source (vbox has an option to automagically sync the time from the host). Using KVM, I'm sorry for being out of clues.
hmm ntptrace is not not resolving
hello, I'm trying to use usb on virtualbox. I added myself to the vboxusers group ( sudo usermod -a -G vboxusers kristenbb) and restarted the host && virtual machine, but it's still not working, what  else do I need to do ?
sorry for the double neg
dr_willis: yeah its doin the same thing
grendal_prime: Because KVM does not provide that capability while vbox does.
grendal_prime: maybe qemu would work better for your needs- it seems to be the VM that most debian devs use
kristenbb: you'll find virtualbox support in #vbox
bekks, i even reloaded sysctl
its odd
haylo: And it is much slower than vbox e.q. - in my experience.
I'm using Gnome classic in Ubuntu 12.04. I used to be able to mouseover on the weather applet to get details when I used 10.04, but now need to left click to see these details. How do I fix this?
there was no need to paste me a bunch of error messages... i dont code in java.
kristenbb: Did you install the extension pack on the host?
Sach: iirc, there is no fix. gnome-classic is a cheap 2d fallback modus and not a whole gnome2 enviroment
dr_willis: sorry, i figured u might be able to see something that i have no idea what it means =/
cameron_:  the program hasent been updated in ages.. so no idea.
k1l: so is this to suggest that gnome classic wasnt a fallback modus for 10.04?
 Amazon results almost seem as an anti feature right now. Besides that, what am I missing in 12.10?
alright, well thanks for tryin
im still getting notifications of your error messages flood. ;P
Sach: no, its a fallback modus for gnome3 (gnome-shell) and is now removed for 13.04 because they use llvmpipe
k1l: thanks! I hate change   :-p
k1l  what's removed?
how can I send an email from the command line to my gmail account?
dr_willis: haha, my bad :p
hi
k1l: gnome-shell is the real gnome3
loganrun: i would suggest to use mutt if you want a real mailclient
MonkeyDust: i thought the gnome-classic gets removed because gnome uses llvmpipie as fallback now and doesnt support gnome-classic anymore
the gnome-classic stuff is to get phased out of gnome  in the near future also. ;)
Hi folks. I  have problem with gmail phone. Speaker and microphone Linux is able to recognize, but when I try to call, it seems everything is dead. I have installed google talk-plugin and nothing change at all. What kind of procedure I should undertake for that to fix it?
loganrun: it's not so simple. You have to set up an MTA and try to get Google's servers to take you seriously. Uh, good luck!
iceroot: i know, but most users speak of gnome3 (when meaning gnome-shell). thats why i also use this terms to not confuse them
bekks: yeah it does seem awfully slow. I do like it that i can script it into my building process though, to automatically validate a system, or discard it
iceroot, so you do agree with k1l's response to me?
iceroot: so you do agree with k1l's response to me?
roothorick, oh, they'll take me seriously or I'll kick their.... how do I set up MTA, I don't need anything complex
k1l  dang, i use classic
loganrun: there's guides online for setting up stuff like exim or postfix... tbh I never got around to it myself
Can anybody tell me the search directory for movie player exe
the path?
roothorick, I used to use fedora, and I think it was set up by default, I assume it is a standard package that has what I need,
Sach: which exactly?
john38: There is no "movie player exe" on Ubuntu. All you have are zillions of different movie player, like vlc.
loganrun: won't happen, nowadays mail servers expect mail only from the big registered mail servers (and from their own clients/customers of course)
iceroot: that I cannot fix my issue of not being able to mouseover my weather applet in Gnome classic in Ubuntu 12.04, as I did in 10.04
bekks, what i mean is what is the path for movie player
Sach: sorry i dont know i am not using gnome classic so i dont know
hi
when is Unity expected to be stable?
bekks, standard that ships with ubunut?
it is stable...?
john38: That strongly depends on the movie player installed.
guntbert, not sure that is the case with gmail, worst case, it should end up in spam
TheLordOfTime,  haha !!! good one :)
dreambox, its pretty stable (12.04), 12.10's a different issue.
TheLordOfTime, nop its not (12.04)
TheLordOfTime, one crash per day = not stable
dreambox, you're one of the few whining then, its worked for me and twenty other clients of mine
bekks, totem?
guntbert, besides superspamserver has no problem sending me email
dreambox, if its crashing, is it asking to file crash bugs (you should do that if it asks)
dreambox: unity is pretty stable, and 12.10 is a big improvement on 12.04
TheLordOfTime, ibus crashed today.. yesterday chrome...
or error reports
dreambox, neither of which are unity
bekks, what is the path for totem?
dreambox, chromium's not Unity.  ibus isnt directly Unity either.
s/chromium/chrome/
loganrun: you misunderstood: most MTAs only accept mail from servers that are registered by ISPs, they will not accept it from a "home" machine
TheLordOfTime, ok then, my Unity shortcuts are lost between sessions...
so you're complaining about those softwares, not Unity.
guntbert, is there a public mail server or something I can use, I don't want to use gmail server since you have to supply a password and I don't want that in a file
Sach: you cant compare 10.04 and 12.04. the 10.04 is using gnome2 and 12.04 is using a gnome3-fallback (which is not gnome2 even if it looks similar)
gamil phone is not working, why?
loganrun: whatever you do, you'll have to supply the mail provider with a password
guntbert, as of a few months ago that was not the case with gmail, but things could have changed
TheLordOfTime, on a 2-screen setup , you cant maximize windows to the 2nd monitor...
loganrun: no, that would be an "open mail relay" - deeply frowned upon
dreambox, okay, now you're whining, and i'm not going to respond to whining.
* TheLordOfTime returns to fixing his computer's partitions
TheLordOfTime, I'm just demanding, I'm a power user, I want stability.. I dont have time to experiment.. :/
dreambox: report the bugs on launchpad
hi
what k1l said
k1l, Will do
dreambox: everything else is not constuctive but just whining
dreambox: for me, Unity has been 100% stable for over six months
again, what k1l said :P  (you're whining, which doesn't help squat)
dreambox: what have you had problems with?
TBH I dont like the UI .. I dont think its efficient..
then find a different UI
again, you're complaining.
if you report the bugs with the needed infos the developers can take a look at the issues. but there are that much different setups that cant be all tested.
being a UX designer I think I know my shit :)
Does anybody know the run path for Totem Movie Player
john38, isnt it just running 'totem'?
no worries I'm aleady installing Lubuntu :-)
dreambox: hahahaha, lubuntu
dreambox: hope you like reporting crash bugs
dreambox: please keep in mind that you won't reach the people who make design decisions in this channel
TheLordOfTime, i know but i need to know where its found usr/bin usr/sbin,.....urs/share..????
gordonjcp, from what I read it's lot more mature than Unity...
guntbert, I wonder where I'd reach them...

dreambox: they wont listen to "omg i hate the ui, its no efficient" anyway. so dont think of bother them"
Hello,  How would i use the rename command to prepend a string of text to all mkv files in a directory?
I know next to nothing about perl expressions =(
blz  better ask in #bash, i guess
MonkeyDust, I thought about it, but I believe rename is Debian-specific
but maybe I'll try my luck =)
john38: /usr/bin/totem? or what do you want?
kll
k1l, thanks
k1l, I've already pointed out my concerns in stack exchange, with reasoning, arguments and all.. (hell I could even make a mockup for'em)
anyways !
dreambox: i think they are open for constructive critism. but that is not what you said in the channel here. so lets focus on the support topics :)
hey everybody, pls help Im looking for file integrity software and I found tripwire aide afick and samhain, tripwire will be the best ?
nedwed: the best is always "what YOU like most"
k1l: thanks for the clarification.  so is it possible to use gnome2 environment in 12.04?
nedwed: so we cant answer that
Hello
Lots users
ALLCHAN
Is there any mods in here
yes
Sach: no. because it has broken depencies to the gnome3 enviroment that is in the ubuntu repos from 11.10 on
Sach:  not really that i know of. theres some ubuntu derritives that may have it.
Is a stack-smashing protector SSP enabled in Ubuntu. Was implemented as a patch to GCC a while back. If nto I am hopping I can add it with -fstack-protector-all. What woujld be a good size threshold for SSP if I tune it with --param ssp-buffer-size=
dr_willis: suggestions?
Sach: if you want the gnome2 look back, try xfce or lxde
Sach:  i dident even see your original problem
if i want an old skool look. i use lxde
REGISTER pycode
c0dr: wrong window?
oh yes ... was hoping noone saw
anyone who will have a few minutes help me get started?
;) the status/server window is the better place to do that.. in case you make a mistake
someone i can bug by asking some noob questions
Princeee:  state the problem. see who can answer
Princeee ... umm what do you mean "get you started?
im just starting installing ubuntu
thanks
Princeee what do you need help with.
nothing yet i am using the windows installer now
i may be fine but who knows if i run into snags
c0dr: this channel is publically logged :-)
I'm struggling installing a different printer. I had a canon pixma mg2120 and I could not for the life of me get it installed, so I replaced it with an HP deskjet 3512, the instructions were super simple and easy, but it wouldn't work. So I'm going to try it manually. What am I doing wrong? Any suggestions?
i downloading the windows installer now, couple minutes left then i try get it going
unity-2d was dropped, right?
Unity-2d is no longer in 12.10   correct..
TheLordOfTime: they use llvmpipe like gnome-shell (gnome3) for 2d-fallback
dr_willis, thanks.
toddnjamie:  i tend to use the cups web interface to manage pronters.
k1l, i know that, i wasnt sure if they had actually dropped that package though
:)

hi guys, I've got raspberry pi running on ubuntu through qemi and vnc, but I can't get my pi to connect to the internet and thus -- no apt-get, how can I get it connected to the internet?
im running 12.10 server and i dont have add-apt-repository or apt-add-repository even after installing python-software-properties
where did it go
Thank you. Can anyone tell me how do I know whether I'm running 32 bit, or 64 bit? I'm not computer savvy....
toddnjamie:  lsb_release -a
toddnjamie: you want to know what you are using at the moment? or when you should use 64bit and when 32bit?
toddnjamie: and   uname -a will help you distinguish between 64 and 32 bit
Am I imagining things or were there special Ubuntu ISOs built for mac hardware?
corvaxia: there are special ubuntu versions for the ppc version of the apple jails
Hey there.  I'm having trouble with my installation of 12.04.  When I try to log in, I don't get any unity menus or anything else.
corvaxia: the new apple jails are using x86/amd64 so you can use the normal isos
corvaxia: PPC yes. Apple Hardware is just PC hardware but over-priced.
I suspect it's something in the home directory, but I don't know the unity code at all, so I'm not sure where to start looking?
zen933k: overpriced + a jail
Hmm.. i dident think the PPC version was offically supported any more..
iceroot: Sent from my MBP ;)
uname -a in a command shell should show something like: Linux <hostname> 3.5.0-18-generic #29-Ubuntu SMP Fri Oct 19 10:26:51 UTC 2012 x86_64
True but I swear they had iso's that already included the Broadcom drivers so you didn't have to connect to ethernet.
Thought those disks were for the newer macs with  some bootloader differances
zen933k: i am sorry to hear that
the x86_64 means you're running 64 bit.
4
iceroot: Don't be, in 2010 the MBP had the best battery life. Asus had the cloest specs but the same price...
dr_willis, if I was supposed to find a driver on there, my printer is not listed. But I see through searches that other people have used my specific printer with my specific ubuntu, yet, their processes aren't working for me.
hello
I'm not a good problem solver apparently lol
how can i convince grub from either 12.04 and 13.04 to detect the fedora 17 install?
can someone assist with ecrypts ?
I have a file path and password
patr|ck, is it not seen by os-prober
toddnjamie:  check askubuntu.com perhaps - they tend to have some decent guides. could be you need the hplip package for hp printers.
how do I uncrypt the private directory ?
escott, yeah
patr|ick: Are you a Wizard? 13.04?
patr|ck:  if you knew what info to put in /etc/grub.d/40_custom you could make your own custom entry for it.
I have already tried all that. I downloaded hplip.3.12.10a and tried automatic installation and a manual type installation, neither of which are working.
I am using ubuntu 11.10 liveCD for this session! The newness of this experience is nerve racking to say the least. I have a10.04.3 liveusb that needs a patch that will allow me to have internet connectivity. I'd like to download the patch with 11.10 liveCD. Please help.
i am tresting something on 13.04
patr|ck, perhaps you dont have lvm installed. maybe install lvm and load it
So I was thinking to save some space on my backup hard disk, I think to create a script which will look all files looking for the same hash and use hard links to leave just one copy of them. But then I think probably there is some file system that works on this way on os level. Does anybody know the name?
So far I've not been able to find anything on askubuntu to help me out.
how to delete a program and its home folder too?
i am not asking for support for 13.04
stop this nonesense
kristenbb, apt-get purge package-name
escott, fedora is not installed into LVM containers
escott: I thought this wouldn't delete the home folder nor the global settings?
could it be that each distribution has an own format for EXT4?
toddnjamie: still no luck, huh? what was the result of the last run of install.sh
No.
patr|ck: No.
hm
escott: I thought this wouldn't delete the home folder but just* the global settings?
I can't send mail through my server (postfix) and can't see any errors.  Where does a postfix on Lucid stick error messages?
kristenbb: you mixed up "its (home) folder" and "config in my home folder"
craigbass1976: mail log, syslog
kristenbb, what do you mean home folder? the ~/.appname you have to remove that manually
patr|ck: no way, distros stick to the defs of the file systems standards. Its one of the great tings in Linux
craigbass1976: tried looking in /var/log/ ?
What do you mean?
i wonder why ubuntu cant detect fedora then
maybe it does not want to!
why are you asking in here ? #ubuntu+1 is for 13.04's pre-alpha discussion
escott: is there no command to remove that folder along with the package ?
patr|ck: have you tried manually mounting?
patr|ck: have you ran:  sudo fdisk -l    to list the partitions
read my comment close if you can: that problem is on 12.04 and 13.04 i said
Gnea, ikonia I've been through most of /var/log (all of the mail* files) and don't see anything.  I looked in dovecot too, but didn't think that was the culprit anyway.
kristenbb, no
rednecktek, I replaced the canon with an hp deskjet 3512, research said hp had more drivers for ubuntu...
kristenbb: no, remember linux is a multi user system
rednecktek, so I gave up on the canon, went and bought an hp...now I can't install it, either!!
craigbass1976: dovecot is nothing to do with sending mail
ActionParsnip, yes sir
ikonia, I thought not.
toddnjamie: looking it up.
Thank you.
toddnjamie: should be an automatic install
escott: and how does purge work exactly ? is it left to the developer to say where the config files of its program are ? or is there a way to make sure a program (and its components, config files, ...) is completely gone ?
hello, how do i mount a smb remote folder on 12.04 ?
VlanX: do you have nautilus?
kristenbb, no package is going to remove stuff from $HOME ever.
toddnjamie: what is the output from: lpstat -p -d
patr|ck: The only suggestion I have is to look through http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1985184 and see if some answers are there.
escott: yes I understood that. I was now talking about the general config files, those in /etc for example
zen933k, thanks
ActionParsnip: yes, but maybe also CLI is good?
would you like to me to paste to http://paste.ubuntu.com ?
patr|ck: does manual mounting work?
ActionParsnip, yes
So I was thinking to save some space on my backup hard disk, I think to create a script which will look all files looking for the same hash and use hard links to leave just one copy of them. But then I think probably there is some file system that works on this way on os level. Does anybody know the name?
patr|ck: so it can recognise fedora....
kristenbb, i dont know all the details of debs. every file the application creates should appear in the debs, and are flagged as config or non-config. purge removes config fiels
X-warrior: rsync can do that for you
rednecktek, want me to paste it to the page you gave me before?
are you actually using the grub ubuntu
X-warrior, search for dedup and it should list other tools
as in is the grub ubuntu the one that's actually on the mbr
or is it the fedora one
toddnjamie: last line should be enough
if so running any grub commands from ubuntu is a pointless task
toddnjamie: is a default printer listed?
escott: in other words, if I do 'purge' and delete the config folder in my home, am I sure that there's nothing else from that application on my computer?
haylo, kvm uses qemu as its core
I am using ubuntu 11.10 liveCD for this session! I have a 10.04.3 liveusb that needs a patch that will allow me to have internet connectivity For a new ASUS notebook 10.04.3 liveusb doesn't give me wireless connectivity. I'd like to download the patch with 11.10 liveCD. Please help.
kristenbb, ideally yes
bekks, http://serverfault.com/questions/132197/best-practice-for-system-clock-sync-on-kvm-host
ActionParsnip, I think it could preserve my hard links, but if I don't have it yet. How is it possible? I didn't find this option on it
clear
rednecktek: it says default destination: deskjet_3510_2...recall, I have a 3512. There's probably part of the problem I'm assuming?
arg >.<
grendal_prime: :)
there is something for this. its actually very simple to set up...just not documented anywhere. seems to be doing the trick just fine.  no need to even install ntp from what i can tell
hi folks, anybody know when a fix for CVE-2012-5371 will hit the repos?
grendal_prime: which is why i said to not bother with it.
so i have ntp working on the host, and then set the clock source on the guests to the kvm-clock..wham
-------------------------Does anyone know of a tool to test the ISP connection speed over a period of time? I have a customer that I service that has ubuntu 12.04.1 that has intermittent speed issues and have had their ISP "test" the circuits remotely.
X-warrior: not sure there, is it listed in the man page?
digitalvaldosta: no need for ---------------
digitalvaldosta: try mtr
escott, yes! I think that was the word I needed to keep looking, thanks! :D
erm, wait, thought you said connection, not speed
digitalvaldosta: could occasionally download a file from the site
haylo, ?  quemu or kvm?
digitalvaldosta: nevermind
have you used kvm?
digitalvaldosta: mtr or - if you need it in more detail smokeping
X-warrior, rsync will do it with hardlinks with one of the options..
toddnjamie: nope that's probably fine. Cups usually just lists the base model (351X, dj9XX, etc). Have you tried printing?
digitalvaldosta: or have them download a file get the speed and then delete it. You can report on that :)
X-warrior, --link-dest
Ok, I will check into those.
Yes...nothing happens.
I'll try again.
Hello all, I'm looking for some help with a bootup problem in 12.04 LTS
The main contact at this place, she wants a detailed report over a period of time.
rednecktek: I tried to print a document. Window popped up: "system program problem detected"
Do you know where i can get a laptop without a os on it? or linux os?
brandon420: try asking in ##hardware or the #ubuntu-offtopic channels
Apparently Dell are selling Ubuntu loaded laptops brandon420
toddnjamie: lets try something simplier. try running: system-config-printer
So something that will check the speed at scheduled intervals and possibly output to a file or graph would be nice.
in the terminal?
rednecktek: in the terminal?
toddnjamie: yes
rednecktek: it popped up my printers-localhost window
rednecktek: there's an exclamation point on my printer lol
ok helllo all, is there a guru in residence i hope?
Billinthebox: A guru in regards to what?
:) ok i am on a live cd , right now because i cant logon to my regular desktop
Billinthebox: what happens when you try?
seednode:) ok i am on a live cd , right now because i cant logon to my regular desktop
actionparsnip it just keeps recycling the logon screen
Billinthebox: have your partiions got free space?
toddnjamie: arg. really glad I have an old printer. hang on. CUPS is not my strong suit. looking for info.
actionparsnip yes its a brand new install
actionparsnip i tried to logon to an alternate desktop and never could get back in
ok. I'm sorry you're having to deal with all this. But you have no idea how much I appreciate all your help.
i found a style in xubuntu that is almost agreeable. but on some dialogs the text color is white which is unreadable on bright gray. http://i.imgur.com/y9kB7.png
hi, i installed a brand new ubuntu for a friend and didnt configure a password for his user account. is it possible to force him to set a new password if he boot the next time?
Billinthebox: reboot to the installed OS and on the login screen press CTRL+ALT+F1 and login there, can you get fully updated ok?
trashi: sounds like you want the OEM install
rednecktek: I'm so sorry you're having to deal with all this. But I appreciate how willing you are to help.
toddnjamie: no problem. just working on servers anyway.
actionparsnip i can logon to the TTY with no problem
actionparsnip that what you mean?
toddnjamie: tried a different USB port?
Billinthebox: ok, can you get updated there?
I'm looking for help with a boot problem in 12.04 LTS.  It hangs at the Ubuntu screen w/ the 4 dots.  When hitting ESC to see the boot processes several things fail.  These include model connection manager, SMB/CIFC File Server, LightDM Display Manager, CPU interrupts balancing daemon, Winbind daemon & GNOME Displat Ma[OK] (blank line and at the end another [fail]).
toddnjamie: is there a "diagnose" button somewhere on the printer properties window?
capeeKo: what video chip do you use?
actionparsnip i am using the laptop i am having the problem with, right now. had to throw in live CD
ActionParsnip: toddnjamie that's a good idea. Also removing/re-adding the printer seems to be a solution for some
Billinthebox: fine, but in the TTY loginm can you get updated?
ActionParsnip:  let me double check
gordonjcp, well, i think oem is a little bit to fat for that .... isnt there an easy way to say "you need a new password... if u dont want to set a new one, shutdown your machine"? just for one time?
rednecktek: no. there's not a diagose button.
toddnjamie: if you run:  lsusb   do you see the printer listed?
actionparsnip i can try but i will have to dump thiis session to do it
Billinthebox: updates may help
rednecktek: hewlett packard? yes
ActionParsnip system should be up to date
the albatross style in xubuntu seems to be unusable. http://i.imgur.com/y9kB7.png
ActionParsnip i did updates the day before
ActionParsnipi run update nearly everytime i logon, just to check
Billinthebox: in the TTY try:  sudo chown -R $USER:$USER $HOME
Three of my co-workers just got new Dell laptops. They are having a horrible time getting Ubuntu to work; they keep locking up and stuff.
They've been trying 12.10, and have fallen back to 12.04 LTS. Now one guy is trying 12.04 with a newer kernel.
They've been messing with various combinations of window managers and video drivers.
ActionParsnip when i was in the TTY last time i kept getting a msg. maybe that will tell you something that helps?
xxx@xxxxxx~$ [312.854880] sd 6:0:0:0: [sdb] sking for cache data failed [ 312.854957] sd 6:0:0:0: [sdb] Assuming drive cache : write through
ActionParsnip xxx@xxxxxx~$ [312.854880] sd 6:0:0:0: [sdb] sking for cache data failed [ 312.854957] sd 6:0:0:0: [sdb] Assuming drive cache : write through
Won't be long before they upgrade my laptop to the new one... then I get to run through the same gauntlet. Hopefully by then someone will have figured out the issue.
ActionParsnip:  ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4200 Series
wad: are they ATi 2xxx, 3xxx or 4xxx ?
toddnjamie: any luck with changing USB ports or removing/re-adding the printer?
ActionParsnip does that tell you anything that helps me?
capeeKo: try the boot option:   radeon.nomodeset=1
Billinthebox, try ActionParsnip's chown command first. also "sking" doesn't sound right
Billinthebox: I'd fsck the partition in liveCD, make sure it is healthy
what if none of the live ubuntu cds will auto connect to the internet? realtec nic
ActionParsnip, I'm looking it up....
after installing windows the bootloader disappeared. what i have to do?
escott supposed to say "asking"
I'm running the live cds off an empty hard drive, so no way to download driver files
hey guys, just a quick note...it's supposed to be all linux users here
if you do care about having a linux phone
please vote Jolla here
rednecktek: no and no...
http://www.tosielamandiili.fi/peukutus.shtml
ActionParsnip: I'm a bit of a newbie, you mean to type that into the root command line, correct?
Billinthebox, those messages sound inocuous. whatever you have plugged into sdb is write through
rednecktek: wait...how do I remove, readd the printer? uninstall or reinstall??
k1l, I know, but this is about linux, it's important..we should join forces
rednecktek: uninstall AND reinstall? lol
faenil: sry, but please stick to the guidelines.
alright...it was for us all
toddnjamie: right click on the printer in the Printing-localhost window and choose "delete"
I'm new here faennil but I get the feeling it's purely for technical support not activism
ok so if i pull up a terminal in live cd session can i access my permanent install with it? how?
forgetful: you are right on that feeling :)  that is why we have the offic channels
rednecktek: ok...
escottok so if i pull up a terminal in live cd session can i access my permanent install with it? how?
escott ok so if i pull up a terminal in live cd session can i access my permanent install with it? how?
rednecktek: it's printing a test page. note, it printed a test page when I first installed it as well, but would not print from any program on laptop.
hi
ActionParsnip, They are: radeon hd 7700m
rednecktek: one second while I try from libre office..
Billinthebox, sudo chown was intended to be run from the tty, you can do it from the livecd but you have to find the path and the id number of your username
escott ok so i gotta logoff then
rednecktek: I think you just became my hero of the day...It's working..
rednecktek: is it possible to tell me what we just did in case it ever happens again???
escott sorry. total noob to this stuff. what will the chown command do?
anybody know when a fix for CVE-2012-5371 will hit the repos for 12.10?
Billinthebox, chown changes ownership of a file.
Billinthebox, the assumption is that you used sudo when you should have used gksudo and broke your gui by making root into the owner of ~/.Xauthority. this will reset you as the owner of all the files in your home folder
toddnjamie: very cool. thank the devs that make this stuff work, i'm just here for the coffee. My /guess/ is that it auto-installed incorrectly and cleaned itself up when you reinstalled it
It might be worth installing irssi when you get on the TTY Billinthebox, so you can come back even if your Desktop still isn;t loading
manveru: there is no alert at that ID
ikonia: it's referenced from http://www.ruby-lang.org/en/news/2012/11/09/ruby19-hashdos-cve-2012-5371/
manveru: yes, but it's not a confirmed bug yet
forgetful apt-get install irssi?
How does one go about changing their boot option when they cannot get pas the loading screen?
who confirms it?
manveru: read the link on the cve page
capeeKo, boot the livecd
rednecktek: I am very appreciative. My husband and I are small business owners and we REALLY had to have a printer lol. You have just made my day. After 24 hours of working on these things, I am so glad you were able to help me fix it. Thank you very much. :)
toddnjamie: what was the fix?
Well sudo apt-get install yeah Billinthebox
capeeKo:  you can change things from the grub menu for one time 'ussage'
toddnjamie: SB-owner myself, so glad to help
I'm trying desperately to calibrate my monitor color. I've downloaded all these ICC profiles, but to no avail.
ikonia: so we'll build from source, thanks
forgetful ok thats a good idea i guess. lol ok how do i start it in tty after installing it and then get back here?
You know how to use irssi Billinthebox?
rednecktek: you absolutely have. You and your wife have a wonderful night (at least it's almost night here lol)
forgetful nope
forgetful noob
forgetful me that is
forgetful i could only guess its some sort or IRC command line client from cotext
the Humble THQ Bundle is only for windows. damn
forgetful context
Start it with | irssi -n "your nick" and then /connect irc.freenode.net and then /join #ubuntu
Yeah it is a cli IRC tool
There are lots but it's the only one I've used Billinthebox
forgetful ok i am off to give it a whack
forgetful: I can give you my config if you want. It auto authenticates me and joins #ubuntu
ehh, I'm too much of a newbie.  I'm just gonna waste your guys times.  I don't even know how to get to the grub menu
capeeKo: hold SHIFT at boot
I think maybe I should just do a re-install.. I just wanted to avoid losing all my files
capeeKo: your backups will protect your files
Did you see what ActionParsnip said Billinthebox? Sounds like a good idea to me
hi guys... I'm new to Linux/Ubuntu.... I installed the WiBu thingy... but at the bootloader when I choose for Ubuntu I get to a commandline  grub>
what do I do there ?
holding shift didn't do anything, it's just stuck at the boot screen again.
ActionParsnip: so if I re-download & install 12.04 LTS when booted in windows I won't lose my files?
Butacheese
reinstall*
DO NOT TYPE rm -rf / --- this is BAD!
CounterForce, Wubi isn't too popular in this channel
capeeKo:  when in doubt.. backup improrntant files
hi guys - my friend set up my ubuntu server as an http network proxy - i want to turn it off, but I'm not sure what he did - how can i find out if i know that its running on port 8888?
capeeKo: no as you will have backups
mib_mbi: sudo lsof -i
mib_mbi: probably squid
anyone know of a free legal vmware image I can use for XP on 12.04
Anyone one around that wants to try and help me solve an apache / mod_rewrite issue on my ubuntu server?
techspartan: don't think that there is any
PippinW: be aware of the guys in #httpd
techspartan: There is none, since XP isnt free to use.
right...ok thanks
ActionParsnip:  Okay, thank you.  I think I will just do that as it seems easier.  I also won't eat up your time so you can help folks here that don't need their hand held through every instruction, lol.
just thought I'd ask
Have a great Thanksgiving.
techspartan, why can't you make your own? The free VMware player allows installation now
Can some one help me install ubuntu with vista
i  get error's  it says no root file system is defined, please correct this from the partion menu,
Could anybody tell me why disabling journalling to save SSD writes is a bad idea?
well I cant find my old copy of XP...and I tried to make convert my physical to a vmware img
but that isn't working
you need to define where the '/' partion is supposed to go Help22
Help22: you used custom partitioning, you need to tell the installer which partition to use for what
in 12.04
my windows part is win 7
Help22:  / is also called 'root'
ActionParsnip,  dr_willis  idk which one to choose
I don't like booting into it
VlanX, thats seems perfectly reasonable if that is your concern
Help22:  you re the one partioning your drives.. so we cant tell..
can you help me go through it?
Help22:  normally you make a  linux partion of type ext4 and a swap partiion.
techspartan, as long as you have the number any image should be fine
Help22:  the installer has some automatic partioning options
escott: having three VM's with EXT4, yes it does. Can i disable it w/out having to use EXT2 ?
bekks: i see its running something in python on 8888, and it has this: ip-XX-XXX-XX-XXX.ec2.internal:8888->rrcs-XX-XXX-XXX-XX.nyc.biz.rr.com:61641 (ESTABLISHED)
i did that linux partion of type ext4, what do u mean swap partion
Help22:  then your linux partion will be the / for the mountpoint
VlanX, the distinction between ext2/3/4 is not a bright line.
Help22: you need a swap partition for suspend, its like the page file in Windows
My computer is a NIS client. How can I add a (nis) user locally with a custom home directory, so that I can still log in without an internet connection?
0.o
Help22:  normally one makes a swap partion. equal in size to your ram typically.
can you help me do that ^^
Help22: so you need at least 2 partitions, one set as swap and the other set as / formatted to ext4
VlanX, its perfectly valid to say ext4-journalling is ext3-journaling+extents or ext2+extents
theres videos and guides on partioning the disks   Why are you not using the automated partioning features?
VlanX, to focus only on the high level features
escott: however if i keep using EXT4 i would still have the beneficts of SSD compatibility, such as trim. So can i just get rid of journalling w/out too many drawbacks?
mib_mbi: The first column shows you which process established that connection.
dr_willis,  what auto partioning features?
bekks: ah nice, now i can look at the process, thanks
VlanX, if you disable the journal then you are disabling journaling
Oh, now I know dr_willis - I guessed twice the RAM - still works but i'm guessing it just wasted the space?
Help22: the installer has like 3 options. 'install alongside' 'use whole disk' and 'somthing else..." (which lets YOU customize the disk partions)
forgetful:  dosent really matter much these days. ;)
tiwce tha ram is no needed nowadays
escott: is it something that i write on /etc/fstab, right?
forgetful:  i got no swap on this system right now. ;)
VlanX, etunefs
Help22:  my normal partion layout for widnows 7 --> (windows boot partion) (windows main partion) (linux /) (linux swap)
Help22:  dependng on your setup you do it how you need.
escott: since you certainly are more wise than me, if having too many SSD write rates concerns me, would it be a good idea to disable it?
dr_willis all i saw on my otions was erase and install, encrypt, use lvm, and something else
VlanX, if that is your concern then that is your concern. i cant say whether or not that is a good idea. that depends on how stable your system is and how much you value the security of the journal
Help22:  you may want to check out youtube see if they got some videos of the install process..
dr_willis,  do u have a link?
Help22:  exactly what did you download?
Help22: err... youtube.com
;)
escott: yeah, i think that tomorrow at work i can spend few time to understand exactly how journalling works. Thanks for your help dude :)
i downlaod ubuntu-12.10-desktop-i386
Help22:  you have a single hard drive?
yes dr_willis
Help22:  if you allready have it partioned. You just need to tell it what partion to use for /   making a swap partion is also a very good idea
VlanX, personally i wouldn't disable journalling.
i have 3 partions that show up C, D,U
but in ubuntu i have like 10 that appear
Help22:  linux does not use drive letters like that.. windows does not see  linux partions
No idea what 10 you mean.
how do i found out how linux views it?
VlanX, if your SSD is any good it should notice the journal blocks are hot and do a good job balancing those writes across the free blocks, if its a poor firmware is going to wear unevenly anyways
because then i could tell you
Help22:  sudo fdisk -l    shows the disk layout
how do i do that inside of windows?
Help22:  you dont.
oh so i have to run my cd and then run it virtualy?
You could play with the installer inside virtualbox so you can figure it out.. Ive no idea why you dont see some automatic parttioning options. perhaps you overlooked it.
ok dr_willis  ill open it up in vm
escott: yeah, that's exaclty what i'm afraid of. I don't want the same sector to be written over and over all day when the system is idling. Iostat shows like 10 GB in a week on the SSD and i'm only writing to the HDD drive.
VlanX, i view any SSD i purchase for the next 5 years as a temporary performance booster and have no faith it will work. if it manages to save data across a boot its a miracle.
escott: well, isn't that a little too pessimistic?
VlanX, it also means i get a present every day that my computer boots
dr_willis,  when i run the installation in vm there is onyl 1 device and 1 device for bootloader installation
5 years from now.. i hope my 128gb SDD is viewd as tiny and quaint. ;) and will be easially replaced by 128TB ones..
maybe in the future the SSD technology will become more reliable
Help22:  since you only have one HD in the vm.. that makes sence...
oh.....
does anyone has the Nexus 10 yet ? I wanted to know how  a double column conference article pdf looked in it ?
so..... what do i do?
Help22:  practice the installing in the vm untill you figure it out.. that was the point of the vm.
i did it's simple just i don't know what all to choose in the real installation
Help22:  theres most likely videos on you tube showing step by step how to install and other guides. I dont have the install process memorized.. and my systems are all multi hd
oh
I recall a 'install along side windows' option... but i never do it that way
Help22: 1 partition the same size as ram for swap and the rest for /, formatted ext4
or use the live cd. and partion your hard disk how you want.
that wasn't on mine,
Help22:  boot the live cd.. then come back here so we can help.. we cant do much with you in windows
dr_willis,  i don't get internet in the live cd
Help22:  and its a good idea to backup your windows stuff and other critical info BEFOR you  try to install
i have
if an applet fails to load (its an internet applet to allow a user to login to their bank)  is there a fix for it?
you could just install in vbox and experiment with the OS till you learn the basics  also..
can i encrypt something with a public key and keep my private key offline on a flash drive?
i have done that dr_willis
goddard: Thats how asymmetric encryption works, yes.
bekks: oh so like AES?
goddard, yes
Help22:  reading up on how linux partions drives is a good idea. Its possible your windows disk has 4 primary partions allready made.. and thats causing the whole issue.
goddard, AES is not asymmetric
oh.....
yeah there all labeleing with like nvidea
oh
escott: what is?
goddard: AES is an encryption algorithm, not a asymmetric encryption implementation.
oh ok
is there a way to connect to a wireless network from the command line? i can do it through the NetworkManager Applet GUI.
goddard, AES is a symmetric cipher. assymetric ciphers are provided by pgp/gpg and use large primes or ECC
goddard, so RSA, DSA, and ECC
escott: ahh ok
dr_willis,  could i istall it through wubi?
goddard, if you "gpg --help" the asymmetric ones are listed under pubkey, ciphers are symmetric
Help22:  i would forget wubi even exists....
why?
it stinks. ;)
how so?
Fragile. problematic. and next to impopssible to get help for when it breaks
Help22: its a pain to fix if you get boot issues and it is directly affected by the shortcomings of NTFS (Mainly fragmentations)
escott: rockin dude thanks
oh =[\
i want to delete user and is error: user currently logged in, im using command userdel -r testusername
How do you configure anacron to run things in cron.daily?
dr_willis,  do you think you can remote control my computer and help me set it up?
how to delete user in this situation
Guest24899, kill the users processes
Guest24899: you can't delete something while it's in use
Guest24899: so the user is still logged in?
sup
Guest24899: use:  sudo killall -u username    it will boot the user, you can then delete it
sup all can you see my txt?
sikklee: aye
anyone running studio?
sikklee: ask your real question and see :)
Help22:  if you cant get networking working.. how is that even going to be possible,,,
is anyone running ubuntustudio?
sikklee, ask a real question
dr_willis,  is there a way to get the network working?
nvm....anyone used bakktrakk before?
Help22:  i have no details of how your network is setup. or what hardware you have.
sikklee, its not supported here
Help22:  run a cable to the router untill  i get my sustem installed is what i normally do
sikklee: #ubuntustudio
jus sayin has anyone used it
sikklee, ask the backtrack people, and stop polling here
#ubuntu
hmm
Help22: what's the issue? your network isn't working?
im trying to install ubuntu with vista and im having alot of problems
sigh.  I can't even reinstall.  I change the boot process to my USB drive & it tells me to Remove disks or other media & press any key to restart.  why the hell did I try to install sopcast & mess with my usr/lib files..
Help22: it's a simple process, install vista, install ubuntu
Help22: Try the basics first: 1) make sure everything is turned on and plugged in, 2) have you tried turning it off and on again? 3) what does ifconfig say? can you ping anything by ip?
my internet works in windows
Help22: I recommend you don't install vista unless you enjoy banging your head against your desk
but not in the live cd of ubuntu
phix its already isntalled
Help22: ok, how is your network setup?
my wireless usb to my router
Help22: ok, in ubuntu you can click on the top left ubuntu symbol button then type in setting and then click on system settings
Help22: in there you will see network
ok then what?
Help22: can you see your wireless card there?
well i have to reboot
first to my live cd
ok
BRB
and in there you should see wireless
Any idea why it telling me to remove disks or any other media when I change the boot sequence to my USB drive first?
its not seeing any OS to boot at all.. so its saying a generic error type message perhaps...
the Ubuntu 12.04 LTS image is on it..
similer to the days when you put a floppy in tha twas not bootable.
ya I get ya, it's just frustrating because I know there is one.
capeeKo:  perhaps you put it on wrong.. how did you put the iso on the usb>
copy/paste, like I've done in the past
capeeKo:  err.... thats putting it on wrong...
you should NOT have a file called whatever.iso on the usb
capeeKo: use unetbootin
that a program that extracts the image onto the drive?
unetbootin is one of many. theres others listed at the pendrivelinux web site
some of those can boot a .iso file from the usb. ;) so you can make multiboot usb sticks
ok.  thanks guys.  maybe I'm mistaken about it working in the past, it's been a while & classes have my head all mixed up lol
You have never just drag/dropped an iso file to a usb and have it work...
I'll do that & try again, hopefully I won't bug you guys anymore :P
hi
that dosent put any sort of bootloader on the usb
so, I'm sorta new to linux and I when I installed MyUnity on Ubuntu 12.10 it messed up the files and now the're hidden on the laucher and they look like pieces of paper on the dash home. Any help would be great. I don't really feel like installing it all over again :x
I am having sound problems please help
make a new user - see if they have the same issue.. if a new user works.. then its your problem users config files that are to blame.. reset them all.
Gabe, there's no myunity for 12.10
Gabe:  some times these tweak tools have 'reset settings back to default' features.

Hello, i just installed github with apt-get install github-cli. but when i type git. i get this? -bash: git: command not found
is there a way to tell ubuntu that eclipse is insatalled? I installed it outside of the ubuntu repository so I could get a newer version. Now, when I try to run an eclipse command to change a setting (on the command line) I get "The program 'eclipse' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing sudo apt-get install eclipse-platform". But it is installed. I've been using it.
thanks
ClientAlive: is the program in your $PATH ?
ClientAlive: adjust your $PATH to include the directory you installed eclipse in
ActionParsnip what does this exactly mean? [jalal@helena] (3)$ fs listquota

hola
ActionParsnip: ikonia: it is installed to /opt/eclipse. I did try cd /opt/eclipse then execute the command but I get the same message.
elisa87: you have a soft limit at 85% and a hard limit of 100%, you will get warnings over 85%
ClientAlive: did you use:   ./eclipse
ClientAlive: the ./   bit is important
so it doesn't show much much space I have? like how many GB? ActionParsnip
Hi I was wondering if someone could tell me if there is a program that allows you to edit a mp3 track to cut bits off and that?
ActionParsnip: you mean to put that before the command?
ClientAlive: yes, so that the file in the pwd is used.
ClientAlive: the pwd is NOT in $PATH for security reasons
Hi, I'm wondering if someone can help me figure out why the same UUID is being assigned to two different physical volumes
elisa87: looks like you have a 150Mb limit on storage (if I'm reading it right)
ActionParsnip: Ok, this is the command I'm trying to run: "eclipse-vmargs-Xmx1024m" So it should be "./eclipse-vmargs-Xmx1024m" then?
ClientAlive: yes, after you use 'cd' to change to the folder containing the command
ActionParsnip: I got the command to work. Thank you. Now I don't get whether it makes a persistent change or not tho. I need the change to be persistent.
ClientAlive: could try:  sudo ln -s /opt/eclipse/eclipse-vmargs-Xmx1024m /usr/bin/eclipse
ClientAlive: I assume you don't have eclipse installed by package
ClientAlive: if you then just run:  eclipse    does ity run?
ActionParsnip: I didn't install via apt-get, no. I got this command from: http://help.eclipse.org/indigo/index.jsp?topic=/org.eclipse.platform.doc.user/tasks/running_eclipse.htm (near the top of page). But it doesn't say if it is just for that use or if the change is persistent. It has to do with setting how much memory for eclipse to use or something.
ClientAlive: try the symlink, it may just fly
ActionParsnip: what is ity? a terminal?
ClientAlive: the terminal command I gave to make a symlink
ActionParsnip: err... need to understand what result that produces (how it works/ effects my system) and I have to run right now. I will keep that in consideration for when I get back to this. Thank you sir.
ClientAlive: it makes a file in you /usr/bin like the rest of the commands you run
ClientAlive: if it works then its because you have put the link i na folder named in $PATH
ClientAlive: try it, it may just allow you to hit ALT+F2 and run:  eclipse
Hello
hi, i've installed windows and now the bootloader is gone. what i have to do?
repair it via CD
ty
ActionParsnip: I can run eclipse fine. Even have it favorited on my desktop bar. It's that I have lot of plugins in it and it isn't set to use enough memory. Well there is 16 gig of ram on this machine so memory is not a problem. It's a matter of permanently setting eclipse to use the amount I want it to (I though 1024m would be a good start).
I run Xubuntu 12.10 on my laptop, and for some odd reason it keeps dropping IPv6 connectivity. Other machines in the network does not have a problem with this.
Has any others seen this before?
mneri: how did you install ubuntu?
ClientAlive: whta has that got to do with a symlink?
IPv4 stays up all along.
ping over v4 works fine internally, but over v6 it just dies.
ActionParsnip from cd about a year ago. today i've installed windows 8 and the bootloader is gone. i'm sure ubuntu is still there.
mneri: should be. You can use a chroot from liveCD to reinstate grub
ActionParsnip: I don't know (I don't understand what the symlink would do for me). What that is, is the problem I'm trying to solve (the memory setting - not launchnig eclipse).
mneri: omgubuntu have a guide called 'sticking it to grub'
ActionParsnip ty
ClientAlive: In a terminal, run:  sudo ln -s /opt/eclipse/eclipse-vmargs-Xmx1024m /usr/bin/eclipse
ClientAlive: it will mean you don't need t cd to the folder to launch the app
could anyone here help me with an lvm problem?
ActionParsnip: I don't need to cd to the folder to launch the app - it launches just fine apart from the terminal. That may be useful in the future if I have to run a terminal command but what I'm trying to do is change a setting in eclipse.
I have to go. I'm sorry
ActionParsnip:
thx
ClientAlive: easier?
ClientAlive: glad its somewhat working :)
hi
Does anyone know how to get Unity to stop crashing?
uninstall it
*g*
Ubuntu has some dependencies on unity, so I can't.
Geothst: what is the output of:  lsb_release -sc
Or I would.
Are the backup fles from clonezilla compatible with ubuntu ?
does anyone here have any info on Ubuntu for Android?
It just says, "Precise".
any error-messages?
Are the backup fles from clonezilla compatible with ubuntu ?
...join me in #ubuntu-android if you have any info to share
Geothst: you could use a different session if you don't like Unity. You can install xcfe4 and use that desktop instead of Gnome
Well, I tried that.
Unity still crashes when I load XFCE.
And I still have the panel to the left.
in my XFCE session.
xubuntu?
No. I do have XFCE and Xubuntu session on my LightDM though.
yvesD: just using a different DE in ubuntu, not xubuntu
I also got some weird X11 errors about directories missing and then my computer turned off.
gordonjcp: Have you tried the Unity2D session
well I lost all my files after the install
oh well
Unity 3D wouldn't even load at first. Fresh install. I installed Gnome3 and now it loads, but crashes. But Unity 2D also crashes.
Unity 2D says it crashes, and it asks me if I want to reload it. But it works. It's fine. It just thinks it crashes.
ActionParsnip: not recently, why?
driver? firmware?
hello
thanks for the help Action & willis
I think he was trying to tab-complete Geothst, gordonjcp :)
can anybody answer a question about ubuntu
This is probably a good place for that.
What is the likelyhood that something messed up when I was doing my install causing Unity to be awful and crash a lot and not work right in any way whatsoever? And that if I just re-install Ubuntu it will work right, then. because honestly I'm about to uninstall and just use Windows.
i have an older version of ubuntu (10.10) on a disk can do try without install if i try to install it crashes
Did you check the MD5?
gordonjcp: sorry, wrong target
Geothst: try unity2d
I did. It also crashes.
my question is therena way i can do the upgrade and have it save to my hard drive
Well, it thinks it has crashed. It works fine, as far as I can tell.
md5?
When you download the install file it sometimes messes up a small part of the file and can cause your OS to malfunction.
brb
Geothst: have you tested your RAM?
5500 mhz
lol
No, but I run other OSes just fine. It hadn't occured to me that it could be a RAM issue. 10.04, 10.10, 11.04, and 11.10 all worked fine. As did WinXP and Win7. Unity in 12.04 is the only issue I'm having on this hardware.

is it possible to get it here?
Not prescription help, no.

But if it's about Linux, maybe. :)
Geothst: hold SHIFT at boot, select the Memtest from the Grub menu to test
Okay, will do that. Thanks ActionParsnip.
am... linux.. yes.. vm.. exactly...
adding C:\ to access over win xp once it starts...
i installed virtual box, some extra pack that was requiered to access disk.. but, still cant get to filles over win xp, wich is now inside the virtual mashine..
any help - step by step - i read the instructions, but.. i gues my nick is there for a reason?
completeIdiot:  once you got an os IN vbox you can transfer files in differnt ways. as if they were 2 seperate machines on the same lan. you could use samba, ssh/scp/winscp, or vbox's own special share feature.
for simple transfering, ssh + winscp is quick to get going
need help connecting to windows using cisaco vpn
lan? ups..
my vpn connection is sucessful  now want to connect to my remote windows machine
any gurus want to help me ?
completeIdiot:  vbox runs on the host and the guest and host os are on their own virtual lan.
i got external hd, and running linux on it... in that same disk, i got files, i would like to access to
dr_willis: you can also set it up bridged so they're on the same subnet
You can use the vbox configs to set it up as a vbox share, or set it up as a samba share, or just use winscp on the windows in vbox, and ssh on the linux side
nowayride:  that will confuse him even more. ;)
http://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch04.html#sharedfolders
ok, i am allready confused... i read the manuals.. but.. is it possible to get step-by-step help?
easier to just use ssh and winscp...
or samba.
ok, how i use ssh and what it is?
any articles to connect to   remote windows after vpn connection ?
install the openssh server on linux, install winscp on windows.. run winscp. connect to the ssh server.. use the file manager gui to copy files around.
hold on..
* dr_willis wonders what he should hold on to....

SierraAR:  linux does not install to ntfs or vfat. you COULD make a ntfs or vfat from linux and install windows to that partion.,
SierraAR: yes
is it okay to ask a q about lubuntu here? It is about the installer, which is the same as ubuntus right?
the way you phrased it.. sounds like you want both os's on the same partition

lsb_release -sc : maverick
Eol: maverick is dead
Eol: the ppa doesn't support maverick, nor does the ubuntu community
Well his user name is appropriate then :P
SierraAR:  use gparted. make a partion. make it ntfs.. format it.. winodows should be able to install to it
i see..
ok, where do I need to go to change this stuff? The IT guys just gave me a linux box. What should I tell them to fix, I'm pretty noobish at linux
evening folks,  I'M running 12.04 in classic mode,  I can't schedule appointments by clicking in the calendar in the top panel,  how do I do it ?
dr_willis, alright, thanks. +cookie
Eol: I suggest you clean install with Precise for support til April 2017 , or Quantal for the latest features
Eol: tell him to clean install Precise
what's the default calendar app in 12.04 is what I'm asking
So that means a whole new linux box?
install to the one you got now?
Pelo, according to System Settings > Details, something called 'gedit'
Eol: no just a new OS
any1 friendly enough to help me out on private over the virtual box and adding hdds?
Eol: its like he installed Windows 95 and gave you it :)
pelo: I think 12.04 ships with thunderbird, but the calendar may integrate with evolution
SierraAR, gedit is a text editor, a pretty nifty one but not a calendar
completeIdiot:  you dont want to access physical HDS from vbox.
yeah, i figured that
completeIdiot:  that can cause data curruption
gonyere, ok thanks I guess
i know it does in gnome-shell anyhow
gonyere Pelo, the calender part of thunderbird is a separate plugin called lightning, which is what I use :P (No idea if it can be set as the default calender app)
i'm not 100% if thats the same in unity or not
Ah, ok. so 10.10 is "maverick" and 12.04 is "precise"
the installer window keeps crashing on me. Can anyone help me out
Eol, exactly.
ok, thanks
SierraAR, ok pluging in thunderbird, that makes a bit of sense , I'll give that a try
uabn93:  you did verify the iso file after you downloaded it? it is possible to run the installer from a terminal window and look for error messages
hey guys, does any repo support Atom optimized kernel ?
completeIdiot:  best to talk in the channel. I may have to leave at any time.
no panic..
dr_willis: i downloaded the torrent so it should be ok. how can i figure out the name of the installer?
lkthomas:  ive not noticed any atom optmized ubuntu variants, or kernels. Ive seen some other disrots that seem to focus on netbooks. but i cant even rember their names
uabn93:  i think its called 'ubiquity'
dr_willis: errr, ok thanks
dr_willis: it says theres an update for the installer but nothing happens when i click on it
uabn93:  cant say ive ever noticed it day that.. this is a 12.10 lubuntu you are using?
dr_willis: yes. maybe i should go back a versioin
uabn93:  12.10 lubuntu installed fine on my laptop the other day.
its possible you got a bad burn to the cd, or the iso file could been bad.. wouldent hurt to double check
how to find my mac address?
any one that got an hour of time, to help my out? on private? over vbox?
elisa87:  ifconfig shoes you elisa87
HWaddr f4:6d:04:9e:90:62
is arp true as well dr_willis ?
dr_willis: im doing a usb install. burned it twice, and im on my third install attempt
no idea. cant say ive ever had to mess with arp.
uabn93:  installing to a external usb hd?
dang. no, usb stick
dr_willis! i got that too
linux and ntfs - external hd
uabn93:  theres alternative tools to make a live usb. pendrivelinux web site has several. could be something quirky with how its being made
dr_willis: did the new icon theme act funny to you? maybe its this cheap graphics card that im using
uabn93:  cant say ive noticed any icon issues in lubuntu
could be a driver issue also
like... the text being too light sometimes. same with the buttons
yeah let me try it without the graphics card
try some differnt themes perhaps
Is lubuntu different from ubuntu?
if I want to find the hostname should I only write hostname? or do I need some flags?
$ hostname
SSDBuntu
;) not like the hostname command ran by a user is going to change your hostname....
elisa87: depends on what you want to see - try it, if it doesn't show you exaktly what you want to see consult the manpage
exactly even
hostname is shown in the default prompt also.
thanks SunTsu
dr_willis: found out the error. is says illegal instruction and then quits
uabn93:  sounds like a nasty crash for some reason
can I install win7 over already installed ubuntu 12.04 if my notebook is HP?
and with which software do you suggest me to partition my drives?
elisa87, someone suggested to me I use gparted to create a partition and format sade partition to ntfs when I was asking about installing XP
s/sade/said*
SierraAR How much should I put for win7? If I am about to install Softwares like Matlab out there?
elisa87, honestly not sure on the sizing. I'm planning on just splitting my 500GB hd in two - 250 for ubuntu, 250 for xp
I installed win7 then ubuntu and just used ubuntu to repartition
SierraAR so might my Ubuntu get formatted by any chance? which I wish not
I think I had issues with grub2 but I am a total newb and it was painless
I think if you install ubuntu and then windows, you're going to have a bad time
its been a long time since i set up a dual boot system
but as i recall it was best to install ubuntu and get your partitions worked out
I believe windows removes grub altogether.
I'm trying to follow this guid: http://rudd-o.com/en/linux-and-free-software/a-better-way-to-create-a-customized-ubuntu-live-usb-drive to make an ubuntu live cd, but the ubuntu 12.10 iso only includes an initrd.lz .  do I need to convert this to an initrd.gz or is the lz acceptable to use?  Will grub be able to boot the initrd.lz ?
then install windows on whichever one you want to install it on
then go back and re-install linux
also, for linux installs i recommend two partitions: one / and one /home so you can re-install linux whenever you like and not touch your personal files
this https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CustomizeLiveInitrd has steps to repack it into an initrd.gz, but it says, "or, if you want an initrd.lz (for Ubuntu 9.10 and later):" which would infer that ubuntu > 9.10 needs an initrd.lz .
I installed windows and then Linux and it worked really well. 12.04 makes partitions cake.
No need to install 3 times
s-by-s-HELP-VM, I don't think changing your nick repeatedly is going to help much
yeah, i don't doubt things have gotten better - its been a solid 6 yrs since i attempted a dual boot system :)
three18ti, if grub knows how to extract lzma
three18ti, or maybe the kernel extracts the initrd... not sure who unpacks it
I am almost positive that installing Linux and then windows will result in a migraine.
dual-boot IME usually results in at least a few screw ups :p
Geo|N7, is 100% correct. the windows boot loader rewrites the MBR with extreme prejudice.
escott, yea, that's what I don't know...  I assume since I've grabbed the vmliuz from the same cd it -should- work...
* three18ti shrugs
I guess there's only one way to find out. ;)
:p
hello
I have a folder (/strorage) that I want to be fully usable by my user and users on the samba share but the permissions are always locking one or the other out  how can I fix this?
hy.. sorry, to bother u.. i need some step-by-step help over Virtual Mashine.. i installed Virtual box, another OS, some extra pack, that was requiered to access HD, but.. still cant access any of HDDs.. i got installed linux ubuntu 12.04 LTS on externall hd, and in that same HD i got ntfs partition that i would like to acces over virtual mashine (win xp) possible on private?? PS: i am total neewbie
walterwoj, depends on your configuration. you will have to give examples of files that one can access but not the other
s-by-s-HELP-VM, are you trying to pass a USB hard drive as a raw device to a VM guest?
am.. wait, need to translate...
for example I back up file to the share from my laptop and those files are locked to my local account user, then i create a file locally and the samba users are now denied permissions.  I already chmod 777 but that only works until someone creates a file...
raw, burned, well done... dosent mather.. i just need win xp, to access usb hd -ntfs
s-by-s-HELP-VM, so XP is the guest (running inside VBox) ubuntu is the host
escott - private?
s-by-s-HELP-VM, there are two ways i can think to do this.
i think you should mount your hd into exPortable share point
ups.. thanks for notice..
s-by-s-HELP-VM, 1) let linux handle the USB device and pass the raw device /dev/sdb or the like to windows, or 2) find the usb location with lsusb and pass the USB device to windows. in either case you would do this through the VBox configuration
I did a memory test, and got no errors. But now I can't open my update manager, or the Ubuntu Software Center.  E: Type 'ain' is not known on line 3 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/gnome3-team-gnome3-precise.list E: The list of sources could not be read.
walterwoj, specifics. exact permissions of examples files (ie output of ls -al /path/to/filename
I can't remove the gnome PPA because I can't open my update manager or the ubuntu software center. They both just crash.
And if I try to remove it in a terminal it just gives me that error, too.
ok.. crap, google does not translate ok... i think i can use win xp cmd??
s-by-s-HELP-VM, what is your native language
slovenian
europe, slovenia
but.. our sleepy nations... are sleeping..
lol
s-by-s-HELP-VM, trying to run this through google translate is not going to be very effective
is there a way to stop the graphics card midway through? it seems to be running really hot, and i'm just sshing/running apache on the machine anyway so i have no use for any display
nice!!! in my own language... thank u, but in home channel.. are sleeping
for example file created by the share a owned by root with chmod 700 but files added localy are owned by walterwoj chmod 700 making both inaccessible to the others
escott?
walterwoj, did you modify the samba config at all
s-by-s-HELP-VM, im not sure what to tell you. you need to make changes to the Virtual machine configuration in the vbox manager
ok
guide?
got vbox running
s-by-s-HELP-VM, http://www.dedoimedo.com/computers/virtualbox-usb.html
s-by-s-HELP-VM, or https://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=45161
This is incredibly infuriating.
escott, try to guide me.. plese
please
i need access to files till six am, 3h till than
s-by-s-HELP-VM, this stuff is already complicated enough. There are a lot of technical terms and abbreviations that google translate is not going to work for. It's going to be pretty much impossible to guide you through something when half of the words aren't going to translate.
s-by-s-HELP-VM: escott: can't ubuntu just access the NTFS?
actionparsnip, is that q directed 2 me?
ActionParsnip, ours is not to wonder why, ours is but to answer the questions asked. its probably just how s-by-s-HELP-VM phrased his question that gave the sense he wanted direct access of some kind
any access would be ok...
Hello, just curious if anyone has worked with zoneminder before?
in my computer... in win xp, is only C:\ and.. thats is it.. no usbs, other hdd
Don't you have to have 3rd party plugins (closed source) to use USB on VM? I'm pretty sure I remember having this issue as well, and I had to install the closed source version of VM.
hi..  can someone help me sort out a KMS vs. Radeon (gallium3d/r300g driver) conflict?  Resume from suspend-to-ram = black screen unless I disable KMS, but do that and I get knocked down to VESA video.
s-by-s-HELP-VM, that would be the easiest then. "sudo apt-get install ntfs-3g" open the ntfs drive with "nautilus" in ubuntu, and then pass the folder "/media/XXXX-XXXX" to the windows guest with the guest additions
s-by-s-HELP-VM: ubuntu can access NTFS partitions, You don't need Windows..
Geothst, newest versions have some USB support
Can someone tell me how I'm supposed to remove a PPA when I can't remove it from GUI or CLI?
Geothst: Virtualbox requires an extension pack for USB 2
Geothst, install ppa-purge and use that.
I tried that. It says the PPA doesn't exist.
But when I try to open the Ubunut Software Center, it crashes and says the gnome ppa is missing something.
Geothst: you can edit the file manually
yes... but.. in VM Box, i would like to access internal hdd on my laptop.. i use external hdd to run linux on it, and win xp in it
I'm a bit of a newb, RamchandraApte, can you explain how to do that?
Geothst: ofc I am doing that.
RamchandraApte, that doesn't exactly remove the installed packages
Geothst, ppa-purge doesn't see the ppa?
escott: oh that is what he/she wants to do.
RamchandraApte, its potentially unsafe to just nuke the ppa from sources.list
E: Type 'ain' is not known on line 3 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/gnome3-team-gnome3-precise.list
E: The list of sources could not be read.
Warning:  apt-get update failed for some reason
escott: not in the hands of experts :D
RamchandraApte, then you are sitting around with packages coming from the PPA and have no PPA backing them
there, that's better.
escott: but is it impossible to uninstall them?
geothst, something wrong on your gnomey sources list
now i got compiz issue
All I know is I can't remove the PPA because everything crashes and the crash is saying it's the PPA that's causing the crash.
:(
RamchandraApte, in his case he would have gnome-ppa packages that would override the standard ppa packages
mmkay.  I'm open to ideas on how to make a live usb disk that is a) persistent, b) customizable. liveusb won't work because it doesn't have the flexibility I need.  Unfortunately, the instructions I was following seem to be outdated or otherwise incorrect.
Geothst, i assume this happened after you upgraded to precise
Yeah I tried PPA purge and got that output that I just pasteed. $ sudo ppa-purge ppa:gnome3-team-gnome3
No, this is a fresh 12.04 install. Unity crashes every 5 minutes so I'm trying to install something that doesn't crash.
So i can actually do things. Instead of sit here and send in crash logs.
Type 'ain' is not known on line 3... sounds like a typo in the file
Geothst, clearly not a fresh install if you have a PPA
Yes. I tried to install gnome3 and now I can't open my package manager to remove it.
when in doubt, fall back to the cli tools.
is there a way to find out the dependency pkg without installing the pkg?
Geothst, sounds like you got a broken ppa. i haven't kept up with the gnome3 ppa team, but you can just install gnome-shell
I can't use my package manager at all.
It says this error every time I do anything. from GUI or CLI.
Hence my frustration.
Geothst, it's pretty easy
what do you want to install
Anything, at this point. I can't even install .deb files. It gives me this ppa error every time, and then closes.
sudo apt-get install whatever
Geothst, you need to correct the typo in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/gnome3-team-gnome3-precise.list
Ubuntu Software Center won't even try to open it all, it immediately gives me this error.
And then closes.
dont use GUI
looks like its saying theres an error on line 3 of that file... you should be able to just remove that  gnome3-team-gnome3-precise.list to some other place
Geothst, gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list.d/gnome3-team-gnome3-precise.list
I already pasted what the CLI error is when I try to use apt-get. I can't use apt-get.
remove GUI from your computer and enjoy tremendous speed increase
Geothst, if you haven't actually installed anything from gnome3 ppa team you can just sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/gnome3-team-gnome3-precise.list
Phew. Finally. We're getting somewhere!
lol @ topic in #2,000
haha
err.. dident we say to edit that file and fix it like 20 min ago? ;)
That worked, escott. Thank you!
I asked how. I said I'm new and didn't know where the file was. :(
looooo
kiyoura, do you like the topic
the error gave the full path to the file.. ;)
in #2,000
Then people just kept telling me to use apt-get on CLI after I had already said I was getting an error with that no matter what I did.
what is the error
I'm getting a lot of garbled text in 12.10. Similar to this post http://askubuntu.com/questions/216780/garbled-text-in-terminal-titles-and-other-places-after-upgrade-to-12-10
sudo apt-get install apt
The error was the gnome ppa thing.
apt-get remove gnome
I couldn't use apt-get lol. How many times do I have to say that?
Geothst: can you pastebin the output of:    gedit /etc/apt/sources.list.d/gnome3-team-gnome3-precise.list
about as many times as we said to edit the file and fix the error it seems... :)
escott fixed it for me.
Geothst: why are you adding the PPA anyway?
Geothst, we are trying to be careful not to mess up your system
Unity is crashing like eveyr 5 minutes.
dr_willis: maybe I'll get listened to :)
do you not have sudo?
I want a UI that doesn't keep me filling out crash reports all day.
apt-get install sudo
?
get xfce
Geothst: can you pastebin the output of:    gedit /etc/apt/sources.list.d/gnome3-team-gnome3-precise.list
It's already been deleted, ActionParsnip.
Geothst:  sudo apt-get install lubuntu-desktop   perhaps..
Geothst, if you just remove a file in /etc/apt/sources.list.d without giving apt a chance to install the non-ppa versions of the package... that would be bad
Problem is solved :)
sorry, i just got so excited about xfce for a moment that i couldn't contain myself
Yeah but there were no packages installed because it crashed.
remove all your temporary files in /etc/
I added the PPA and tried to update it and it crashed.
Geothst: can you please use http://pastebin.ubuntu.com   open the /etc/apt/sources.list.d/gnome3-team-gnome3-precise.list file and pastebin the file please
So, if the PPA is broken how do I install gnome3?
Geothst:  what relase are you using?
sudo apt-get install gnome3
The file no longer exists, ActionParsnip. I just deleted it.
Geothst: ok cool
Geothst:  how did you add the ppa? Looks like you or someone did a typo when adding it
I copied it from a website for "how to install gnome3".
i think he's sorted it out already
Geothst: if you want the PPA just run:  sudo add-apt-repository ppa:gnome3-team/gnome3
Geothst:  sounds like you made a typo. or the site did.. or a misspaste,,
Geothst: then run: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade
Ubuntu sucks
Geothst:  so what release of ubuntu are you using?
All is well now. The file is gone, so I can use apt-get again.
Geothst: your call, those packages are not supported here
12.04
Irken, this is not the place for trolling
What is the difference between using a PPA and installing sudo apt-get install gnome3?
On the contrary
Geothst:  gnome is in the 12.04 repos.. no real need for that ppa
This is the place for trolling
Geothst: You can't do it without the ppa
Because Ubuntu sucks
Never mind, apparently ;)
Geothst: Precise comes with Gnome3 by default
Geothst, remove all temporary files in /etc/ and i guarantee it will work
Geothst: it just uses Unity shell, instead of the default Gnome shell which is the 'normal' shell for Gnome 3
anyone know of a fix for stuff like this? http://askubuntu.com/questions/216780/garbled-text-in-terminal-titles-and-other-places-after-upgrade-to-12-10
yeah just remove temporary files in /etc
the Ubuntu Customization Kit doesn't work.
Butcho: Looks like a possible problem with the video driver
hi all. I'm at my wit's end trying to install this printer.. I'm on ubuntu 12.10; printer is Dell v725w; i installed the driver and firmware from dell website (http://www.dell.com/support/drivers/us/en/19/Product/dell-v725w-inkjet-printer). I've restarted after having done that.. the printer is not in the printers list.. so I go to add it, it detects it (network printer), but has no good suggestions for device driver. I tried it's suggesti
Geothst: did you upgrade from Precise to Quantal?
No, this is a brand new 12.04 install.
Booted from a live CD, started a copy, then the "classic desktop" (which is slow as hell) crashed and wanted to report an error (very windows-esque) and then I couldn't use the keyboard except in menues.
NSAgent, indeed it does I think. I'm using Nouveau. Anyway to fix it?
Butcho: is it an upgrade to Quantal from Preicse?
Hello
no
Can I boot from an ubuntu live CD to a terminal-only environment?
new install
Irken...yo.
what
ActionParsnip, no, new install
Butcho: Try the nvidia one
hai...
hello
Butcho: if you run:  nvidia-settings   what driver are you using?
jgspratt: There should be an option for text mode on the initial boot screen
saw nothing.  it just went to a brownish background
ActionParsnip, Nouveau
there was no option menu
Why can I not get Xchat to go to the tray?
if I click "try ubuntu" I just get a windows desktop
swarfega: are we the only ones with avatars?
Butcho: then run:   sudo apt-get install nvidia-current    then reboot. Your Intel CPU doesn't have an inbuilt CPU which makes a tonne of issues not happen
jgspratt: By that point you're too far, it's at the initial boot screen
NSAgent: what does that screen look like?
ActionParsnip, ok rebooting, brb
jgspratt: which release are you booting?
jgspratt: Should be something like http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-FMuQLiFs-bQ/UF2pTDNydHI/AAAAAAAAGx4/14CKvWhAvuQ/s1600/try-ubuntu-menu.png
latest desktop
can I enable sshd?
install the opensshd service..
jgspratt: what video chip are you using?
unable to locate package opensshd
this is a server
jgspratt: openssh-server
apt-cache search   is our friend
jgspratt: If it's a server, install Ubuntu Server and don't use the desktop livecd
jgspratt: http://www.ubuntu.com/download/server
tab completion should also work for most of the apt commands
ubuntu server doesn't have a live cd?
it would be an INSTALL cd....
jgspratt, not really needed
since theres no live desktop to be live to.. ;)
jgspratt: you can press CTRL+ALT+F2 and run commands there, its like a liveCD yes
ActionParsnip: that's what I was looking for thank you sir!
why are you even wanting just a server install?
this is an ESX server
You sure it isn't a VM running on ESX?
oh that makes it SOOO clear... ;)
If it's an ESX server, you're about to kill it.
I'm at the box
it is literally on my desdk
Then you're about to kill i
i have a monitor plugged into it
*it
how am I going to do that?
I haven't even mounted the file systems yet
*if you install, you're going to kill it
I'm not installing it. this is a live cd for a reason
Then yes, live cd, control alt f2 to get to the console
hey everyone, I have proper 3d acceleration after typing "sudo modprobe radeon"
anyone know why radeon might not be the default driver set when booting?
Best thing to use to burn .mp3 to a cd.......  GO
Isn't brasero there by default?
yeah, it froze on me...
Hi all
I've got a problem in ubuntu system you install wine program and then you install the program Steam and work well, but when I run Steam program after installation program appears without any written words sincere  Is the problem of wine or problem in my system
theslow1: if you run:  echo "radeon" | sudo tee -a /etc/modules    it will load at bot for you :)
alhosni:  steam has a native linux client thats in beta testing right now. ;)
i know this is ubuntu, but i guess its the same. here is the thing. I have Backtrack on my partition and i want to overwrite it with windows 8, but when i tried it said something about the filesystem is not NTFS so i cannot install win8 on the partition. How to solve this?
hi
nirvana: ##windows
nirvana:  delete the partions  - let windows repartion as needed.. would be one way
nirvana: #debian para backtrack.
How can i fix the problem
well, the ESX server fuse mount is being backed up to the USB mount now, I am happy to report.  got openssh-server installed, changed the root password of the live cd at the terminal, sshed in from my desktop, ran a cp.  I'll be back in the morning to see how it went, this 1.4T copy :)
is backtrack based on debian or ubuntu?
nirvana: debian
technically
milo64, they say on their website they are based on 10.04 (BT 5 anyway)
BT4 was based on 8.04 IIRC.
hm... i must have outdated info. then
Is there no solve the problem in the writing does not appear on the program Steam
alhosni:  check the wine app database perhaps
alhosni:  ive had no issues with wine and steam here.. butim on a nvidia system
nirvana: backtrack is offtopic here
wikipedia says debian though.
three18ti: why not ask in #backtrack-linux
three18ti, thats not important
ActionParsnip, not me nirvana
ActionParsnip, when I select any of the other nvidia drivers. My resolution is set to 1280x800, the display says laptop, I can't change it and everything is offscreen. The only thing I can do is rightclick the desktop
can i ask many silly questions about ubuntu? like how to copy a file, delete a file, as long as it is a question related to ubuntu.
nirvana: yes
anyone know why i'd be getting a 'unable to connect' when using rdesktop to connect to win2003 server box that I know has no port restrictions and i know remote desktop works when connecting from another windows machine?
nirvana, yes,sure
.
bkfitz: you are firewalled?
Well. I got Unity to stop crashing.
bkfitz: can you ping the ip/port?
that's not the one either...
I reinstalled X11, Unity, Compiz, and uninstalled Nouveau and NVidia drivers. Now I have no desktop. I just have a desktop background. I'm running xchat out of a terminal...
nirvana: if you would not behave. You may first like to check on: sudo rm -rf / :)
almoxarife: i'm vpn'd in and on my old laptop 10.04, i had no problems, now on my new 12.04 i have problems.  just checked and I cannot ping it.  <- confused
There is other problem in ubuntu  the massege : the system is running in low-graphics mode
bkfitz: if you cant ping it then you are firewalled somehow
compiz is still giving me a bunch of errors when I run "Unity". failed to bind image to texture, failed to receive configurenotify event...
almoxarife: I believe ASA is preventing pings though
your screen graphics card and input device settings
could not be detected correctly you will need to configure these yourself
almoxarife: yes, but i'm almost positive 3389 is open
Does anyone know why when I activate the nvidia drivers, my monitor is detected as 'laptop' my resolution is set to 1280x800, everything is offscreen and I can only rightclick the desktop ?
hallo
almoxarife: will nmap host tell me or does it use pings?
bkfitz: nmap can do other checks besides ping
bkfitz: are you sure you are pinging the correct address?
almoxarife: yes on the address... via ip - what syntax of nmap should i use
Ther's 4 choice : what would you like to do . 1- run in low-graphics mode for just one session   2-reconfigur graphics   3-troubleshoot the error   4-exit to console login
I'm afraid of losing my important files
bkfitz: try -A -P0 -T4 -v
Hi guys, on ubuntu im an admin but certain folders I can't view or edit permissions, because it says I don't have permission to access the folders, any advice?
what files/folders?
I think it's everything I install, they have a lock on the folder icon
and how are you trying to access them?
right click properties
and when i go into the folders certain ones say I don;t have access to view them
thats your USER that cant modify system files.. that makes sence
i tried sudo adduser <blah> admin
but it says im already an admin
that dosent give your user full rights to chage everyting at any time on the system
wolfygang: did you log off and on after adding yourself to the group?
that just gives you sudo access
Action: yes
wolfygang: if you run:  sudo -i     you can do as you please until you run:  exit
so your user, running the nautilus file manager,, you are trying to modifiy files in /etc/ for example?
wolfygang: try this, in terminal, 'gksu nautilus--no-desktop' , be careful what you do in that mode
hi. is there a separate Freenode IRC channel for Ubuntu software center support?
throw away your windows behaviour :d
dr: yes
wolfygang:  thats how it works.. ;) its a feature
Is there any possibility to get flash working properly with nvidia-current vdpau? I tried everything i found on google and either i have crashes, blue color swapped videos or no full screen support? Will this EVER be possible or is there simply no working flash for ubuntu and nvidia?
just being in the admin group does not meanyou can just go anywhere with the file manager and do things.. since the file manager is being ran as your user . not root.
almo: how do I leave that feature?
How can I lock the fn key on a macbook? I'm tired of having to press it every time I want to use my F1-F12 keys
wolfygang:  what are you wanting to edit EXACTLY? and why>
syntroPi: what is the connection between nvidia and flash?
wolfygang:  keep it in the channel. No need to msg me.
I would like to be able to filter in/filter out proprietary software in software center. And to filter by other ways
Hi Guys, any idea, when the libmesg pidgin patch will be released? I can see the f ix has already been released.
almoxarife, they simply dont work together
Hmm.. flash and nvidia are working fine for me..
I do tend to use flash-downloader plugins ;)
syntroPi: no true, works here on xbmc-buntu just fine
almoxarife, dr_willis, do you use nvidia-current?
dr: Ok I'm trying to compile a kernel for android, but im getting a 'Arm-eabi-gcc command not found" and i need to go into the folder to get the right paths, but it wont let me view the contents of the folder
syntroPi:  yes
Linux operating system ubuntu was working with me without a problem and suddenly a message appears and returned to work and then returned the same problem does not accept entry After takeoff box appears entitled  the system is running in low-graphics mode Written underneath your screen graphics card and input device settings could not be detected correctly you will need to configure these yourself When you click on a word ok Box app
dr_willis, what did you modify and how to get it working?
syntroPi: yeap, the two are not the issue, if you have flash issues its a flash issue, only!
syntroPi:  i did... nothing special.. installed 12.10, installed the flash stuff..  it worked...
usintg the default stuff from the repos
alhosni: what video chip do you use?
dr_willis, almoxarife, i spend hours and tried everything i could find out there and it never worked on my box ever
wolfygang:  you may be needing to learn to use the shell  for some of what you are doing.
maybe by gpu is nuts or sth
syntroPi:  works with no hassles on my 3 nvidia systems
hi...  still trying to sort out this KMS vs. Radeon vs. suspend/resume issue.
and my 2 netbooks.
I don't knew
syntroPi: how did you install 'flash', be specific
alhosni: run:  lspci | grep -i vga     what is output?
almoxarife, from the partner repo
syntroPi: specifically what package?
now i can see only black screen
I do export CROSS_COMPILE=/home/dylan/ndk/toolchains/arm-linux-androideabi-4.4.3/prebuilt/linux-x86/bin/arm-linux-androideabi-
the system not running
then make clean && make mrproper
almoxarife, http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu/pool/partner/a/adobe-flashplugin/adobe-flashplugin_11.2.202.251-0precise1_amd64.deb
and i get arm-eabi-gcc command not found
alhosni: press CTRL+ALT+F1 and run it there, you can use CTRL+ALT+F7
i am Beginner
almoxarife, it even wont work with chrome and its ppapi
syntroPi: you are running 'precise' 64 i assume
evening all. I'm having issues upgrading to 12.10. once the process tries to calculate the changes, it gives mean error saying I have held broken packages but when I run synaptic it tells me I have no unbroken packages. I'm using 12.04 and have disabled all the PPA's I was using in software sources.
any cs majors or anyone that know how to turn regular expressions into finite state machines on
any help would be greatly appreciated.
ActionParsnip, you around?
syntroPi: does syslog complain about 'flash'?
almoxarife, nope i run natty 64 and will reinstall precise, before that package i used http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu/pool/partner/a/adobe-flashplugin/adobe-flashplugin_11.2.202.243-0natty1_amd64.deb but i wanted to be on 251 branch for possible bug fixes. neither version is fine
I don't understand what you mean
I managed to block all protocols by default
with the firewall
Butcho: aye
almoxarife, nope but it crashes in ~50% of the time
wolfygang: https://gist.github.com/1055352
syntroPi: no idea, but i get the impression now you mix-match packages, good luck
is there a command I can run, some program I can install, that will force the screen back on on my laptop after suspend disables it?  (black/dead screen on resume.  Intel chipset, ATI graphics, Gallium3d driver - old radeon is the same way)
What is the cause of that problem where the system was functioning normally
ActionParsnip, tried all the various nvidia drivers. Can't get a working display. my monitor is detected as laptop, everythings huge at 1280x800 resolution, and everything off screen so I can't run anything.
almoxarife, yes as i said im really out of ideas since it never works on my box so i try everything i could think of
I mean a complete reset of the laptop screen, short of powering off/on the video device (unless that's trivial to do)
Butcho: have you tried tweaking in nvidia-settings
it tells me I'm not running the driver
almoxarife, i even installed the proprietary chrome to try it out
Butcho: sounds liek a cheap screen, not reporting EDID
works fine in nouveau
syntroPi: run a live distro, if it runs flash then you can discount the hardware, that leaves user and system install
Butcho: try:  sudo nvidia-xconfig    then reboot
ActionParsnip, it's a apple cinema display 30"... anything but cheap :)
How can I switch the state of the Fn key? I don't want to press it unless I want to use the media buttons
ActionParsnip, actually I did... made it worse at 800x600 resolution
 Butcho then it's missing EDID goodness
almoxarife, even tried that yet no luck
my english is very poor,who can give me some advice?
to improve my english
syntroPi: as much as it seems impossible then, your hardware cant handle flash
Butcho: cool, then use:   gksudo nvidia-settings    and set the res to something and click 'save to X server config'   you can then run:   gksudo /etc/X11/xorg.conf
i just hoped for adobe to cut support for flash for all platforms: web devs wouldnt use that shitty plugin anymore and problem would be solved once and for all time
syntroPi: it lives on in Chrome :)
almoxarife, my previous box with nvidia card didnt work for flash on linux either, seems its just no good combi
xangua, sorry im just upset
Butcho: you can then edit the xorg.conf file manually and setup the screen. Good screens do this all for you.
ActionParsnip, I'll give it a shot. Hard to do all this at exploded resolutions when everythings off screen
I want to help translate Ubuntu into Arabic, the Arabic team are not responding to my questions. What else can I do to get answers?
syntroPi:  there are flash-video-replacer plugins (you will have to google for it) that play flash videos from many sites in VLC or mplayer instead of flash in the browser.
syntroPi:  or use some of the various flash-downloader plugins
ActionParsnip, yes i know but the fullscreen is broken even in the latest chrome dev on my box
dr_willis, yes i know of those, ist just feels too crippled to use it like that
especially youtube wont support html5 on all its channels (wg those with adds)
hmm... not sure what you mean..  not all youtube videos are html5 anyway.
The plugins ive beenusing work great on youtube. i even use the plugins on windows.
how would i find every single file ? hidden, or not.
ok I got something here
syntroPi: why use dev, why not use stable....
almoxarife, dr_willis: which nvidia GPU can you confirm to work with flash, nvidia-current and precise x64 with hw accel out of the box?
my black-screen-after-resume issue, if I do (as root), vbetool post - the screen starts working, but it is set to the wrong resolution etc.  How do I plug that command into the resume scripts so that it's executed before X attempts to "restore" the screen?
syntroPi: please, leave me out of this
ActionParsnip, because the stable has that issue too and i thought maybe they fixed it in dev
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GF108 [GeForce GT 530] (rev a1)
thats my desktop box
 I doubt if its a GPU vs flash issue... but do what you want ;)
syntroPi: did you uninstall all other flash packages etc
and i am on 64bit. 12.10
dr_willis: its not, or i would have one sorry experience on the home HTC
dr_willis, does that GPU run with nouveau too?
ActionParsnip, yes of course
syntroPi:  during the install... yes. ;) i install nvidia-current asap.
its not nouveau either
syntroPi: works fine here on 13.04 using Chrome 32bit
syntroPi: also works on 12.04 64bit + nvidia + Chrome
dr_willis, maybe my GPU is broken somehow, nouveau never worked on it with modesetting only with nomodeset (VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation GT215 [GeForce GT 240] (rev a2))
anyone?
VanessaE: are there any bugs reported?
ActionParsnip: syntroPi says that a live distro does not run flash on his box, its the box, must be
VanessaE: I've seen people report that as soon as you try and wake up, wiggle the mouse
ActionParsnip, may i know which GPU works on your box?
almoxarife: sounds logoical
syntroPi: GeFore 6150 and some mid / low end Intel thing in a Dell Latitude D420
syntroPi: what hardware do you have, besides the nvidia?
syntroPi: do you have a switchable video chip?
ActionParsnip: multiple bugs across multiple laptops, chipsets, video devices - black/dead screen on resume.  But no official solutions.  So far if I do "vbetool post" from an ssh session, the screen wakes up but is severely corrupted.  xrandr can change resolutions and so forth, but that doesn't help.
VanessaE: its a real pain to get nice unles s it works OOTB, personally I don't see the point
almoxarife, nope the GPU is the only one on my system it uses intel p55 with core i7 860
in fact right now, aside from the garbled, flickering screen caused by "vbetool post", it's behaving completely normal - a (distorted) mouse pointer, responding to commands by ssh, screensaver, the whole smash.
ActionParsnip, nope only that gt240
syntroPi: yes, the core i7 860 doesn't have an inbuilt GPU :)
hi guys
ive never seen a CPU with a GPU built in..
syntroPi: nouveau doesn't work with nvidia gt 240, specifically the the models that use gddr5 memory. I have one and the nouveau devs know it doesn't work, but they don't know why, and don't seem to be that interested in figuring it out at the moment
blackness: ivybridge and sandybridge not ring any bells?
yeah..
blackness: those have INtel GPUs built in them
ripps, yes i read tons of bug reports about it, and my card uses gddr5 1gb, i think i will have to buy a new GPU but i just dont know which one ...
syntroPi: what's wrong with the proprietary drivers?
blackness: its where this optimus mess comes from, one of those plus an nvidia gpu = optimus = headache in linux
i find its often worth while to stick with the hardware thats older from like a year ago. ;)
dr_willis, i agree...i NEVER buy something fresh off the line..always 6+months min.
ripps, flash is wrong the rest works pretty fine (vdpau and such), but sometimes x had some bugs too
plus its cheaper. ;)
syntroPi: hmmm... i use flash all the time, seems to work fine for me
dr_willis: by a large amount too
ripps, on wich GPU?
i dont understand, i installed ubuntu 11.10, installed python, perl, lighttpd, no X and its still using 15GB of space.
syntroPi: gt 240 1gb gddr5
im using the experimental 310 drivers in the quantal repos
ncdu shows the largest folder is, /usr/ how would i find every directory ? even those like this " " and ".*" ?
but everything seemed to work fine when i was using 304 too
hi everybody,i still can not use my digitizer(graphic tablet) in my ubuntu
i have already add a xorg.conf file in my xorg.conf.d folder
i thought Xorg.conf went in /etc/X11 ?
and add some lines in the rules file
blackness,i add it in usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d
ohh
my digitizer still only response the "click" behavior,but can not move cursor
andybody can help me?
ripps, i have here the gainward gt240 with 1gb gddr5, which manufacturer did you use?
hello
syntroPi: ah geez, i don't remember, give me a sec to look it up
Please help me
hi guys, better boot ubuntu via /boot or with the root partition?
anybody could help me with my installation of digitizer(grahpic tablet)?
please
frederick: I suggest you add to the bugs on launchpad and state what you know and have
Oh,ActionParsnip,i am just finding you,it's happy that you still here
frederick: add to the bugs
Anyone here that can help me troubleshoot a compromised 10.04 server
not sure how they got in
Hi!
syntroPi: it's an ECS NGT240-1GQJ-F
so, it was made by ECS
ripps, maybe the vbios settings on the gainward card are messed up somehow found it here http://www.gainward.com/main/edm/GT240/GT240_GD5_1G-golden.html
Where do I find Adobe so I can set the default program for Thunderbird?
hiiiiiiiiiiii
_syntroPi_: it's possible, you also might need to update your motherboard bios, I know of some mobos that had faulty pci-e buses that had problems with certain cpus, most were fixed with a firmware upgrade
ripps, yes already did that, even the latest beta didnt help
syntroPi: sorry, all i can say is that mine seems to work fine. I'm not using Ubuntu Unity, but Ubuntu Gnome Remix, but I doubt that has any effect on flash and your other issues. How long have you had the card? Are you able to get a manufacturer warranty or replacement?
ActionParsnip,how could i add to the bug?
ripps, im not sure if its a faulty silicon works fine in windows, just suspect it has some weird bits in the vbios or such. I will try to use it with the gnome 3 on precise or quantal since compiz seems also to be known to cause problems with flash
anybody has experience of install no-wacom digitizer on ubuntu????
hi , I have a problem with gtk gnutella (your apper to be firewalled)
frederick: post on the page in the box at the bottom
jdk: doesn't that need some port forwarding on the router so it accepts connections
ripps, if that does not work i will have to trash that GPU hw and find one that works better for ubuntu, im just not sure how i could find the right silicon... already read on the nouveau wiki, but there isnt that one recommended model on there...
ActionParsnip,which page??
ii
frederick: search for the 8 character hex ID, it's how I found them
hi all
please all i need to know what is better to boot ubuntu via /boot or just the root partition /. thanks.
veryhappy, i dont understand your question.
your boot data should live in /boot, not /
veryhappy:  these days - im not sure it matters.. /boot/ on its own partion can be handy
dr_willis, how did you know he was talking about partition slices?
veryhappy:  ages ago there was a hardware limit the use of /boot/ on its own partion at teh start of the hard drive got around the limit.
blackness:  thats the only thing that made sence. :)
You get ESP from hanging in here long enough
yeah i noticed that, but i didnt even notice, or think this..
veryhappy, depends. if you have mdadm/lvm/luks/dmraid/btrfs then a separate /boot is needed
s/this/that
veryhappy, although maybe not for btrfs these days
escott, you need a separate /boot for a encrypted OS?
If you want to get Fancy - you can have a big /boot/ partition and keep ISO files in it.. and set up grub2 to boot the ISO files.. for really really fast install/reinstalls ;) or fast booting of a live cd iso
blackness, perhaps not. i dont know i dont bother with encryption
ok, how do I tell the system to run a command as the *very first thing* when it resumes from suspend?
dr_willis, i can do a full reinstall from usb in 10 minutes..
my system is encrypted, and i dont have a slice for /boot
<ActionParsnip: i can download files; but i can't upload (it said me i am firewalled)
blackness, just trying to list all the things that could break a /boot
i have about 3 differnt ISOs in my /boot/ i boot from for specific needs. ;)
it would be nice if you can run the ISO as a liveOS and it grow as you require more space..
ActionParsnip, still got the same problem with not be able to get software for repositrys
chuxxsss: can you give some details please
i think i'm going with the extra boot partition
thanks!
take care
jdk: not something I use, is there a #gnutella channel ?
hey, kvm is at the speed of regular qemu.
i've tried modprobe kvm
and executing as root
http://pastebin.com/wsgd7AhZ  used script that you send me got this from bash.
on archlinux, everything is up to speed
how can i fix this?
jdk: #gtk-gnutella seems to be the channel
chuxxsss: edit /etc/apt/sources.list and change gb.archive.ubuntu.com to archive.ubuntu.com    and retry
will do, ActionParsnip
hello?
modem, Hello.
hey, kvm is at the speed of regular qemu.
i've tried modprobe kvm
and executing as root
how can i fix this?
modem, #kvm perhaps
hm.
that would be the best place modem, my servers dont support kvm so i use openvz
so i couldnt help you :(
ActionParsnip, since when does the apt-get errors show "localhost:4401" ?
modem, but "we hear you" we just dont have an answer
is that due to a VPN ?
blackness: could run a local mirror on the local pc
ohhh..
http://pastebin.com/u0hVZeTu ActionParsnip
you cant install update chuxxsss
try apt-get update ..
if your trying to install the upgrades, do apt-get upgrade
Will do, and Thanks
I am planning on running multiple partitions on my MacbookPro. If I want a separate partition shared between the two OS's, HFS unjournaled is the best option. Correct?
are there any devs online that could help me with packaging a program?
what series of commands do I run after getting vbetool to wake the screen up, to fully re-initialize it?
http://pastebin.com/MaghvgJR  still going the same.
so far I can get back the mouse pointer (mostly stable, and responding) against a black, garbled, flickering screen.
What's next?
morphias, not me (sorry), but what aspect are you having trouble with?
morphias, are you building a .deb from a source code compile?
Seven_Six_Two, one minute
corvaxia: I'd go for NTFS
blackness, no.  i have one .cpp file and I want to learn how to make the deb package using the tutorial on ubuntu
morphias: look into checkinstall to make a deb of your efforts
That has read write privileges for both OSX and Ubuntu?
checkinstall is what you need, but you have to build the source into a binary before you can use checkinstall
corvaxia: not sure on MacOS. I'd assume so, Ubuntu definately can
morphias, http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=7272849&postcount=6
blackness, you mean you can't have a source deb?
no..if he wrote a program, and wants to build a deb for it, he has to compile the program (binary) and do sudo checkinstall after make.
blackness: doesn't checkinstall need a make file?
yes ActionParsnip
blackness, i am not using any make scripts.  i just used g++ to compile something simple
then you'll need alien i believe..lemme look around
blackness, thus i see other projects that have make scripts and the such and i am lost on that part.
lol
morphias, you don't know about make?
Seven_Six_Two, i have seen make when i compile other peoples projects but i never implemented my own ./configure make on a project
i only learned how to make a C++ file and compile it so far.
* morphias is new and trying to learn :/
Time to Take it to the next level. ;)
morphias, i believe this will help, http://blackness.sytes.net:8181/e49fb3f8-32cc-11e2-92e2-c5c8428f582c
make file for helloworld.cpp  ;)
you'll need dh_make dpkg-dev devhelper devscripts fakeroot lintan.
morphias, this isn't directly related to Ubunut, but a make file will make compiling your code infinitely easier when you get more than one file.
lol. Ubunut
lol
Seven_Six_Two, if you want we could talk in the devel channel.. just no one responded in there so i asked on here
morphias, did my post help you at all?
lol. ubunut.com forwards to ubuntu.com
blackness I am looking through it right now.
Hi, How can I see the right click menu "revert to previous version" of deja dup backup app?
Okay
Seven_Six_Two: your isp forwards
My system is Ubuntu 12.04 64bit and the version of deja dup is 22
almoxarife, fair enough
Any idea with that?
almoxarife, if I used their dns
quit
Seven_Six_Two: fair enough :)
Mukhthar, /part
why cant people setup proxies properly..i reject HEAD :x
Seven_Six_Two : how to quit IRC ?
Mukhthar, I thought that's what you were doing
i click the thingy on the top of the gui
almoxarife, are you talking to me? who has time for "gui"
blackness: never had to use one personally. Simple times :)
any rekonq gurus? where does rekonq manage file extensions from?
Well, these improper proxies, are causing damage to my python http pastebin :(
Seven_Six_Two: did you know cli has a gui?
almoxarife, pfft. I use 2 wires on tip of tongue to read binary directly. cli is for babies
Seven_Six_Two: :)
hi all
exit
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/clicompanion <-- there!
lotus2015, this isn't Bash

Seven_Six_Two, set a bind for "exit" so you can be faster..

Hey guys, I currently have an openvz hosted VPS Ubuntu 12.04lts server x64 machine that I'd like to migrate to my other VirtualBox host.  Is there a way to migrate openvz to vbox?
After upgrading Xubuntu Thunderbird has lost all the default applications for attachments.
http://pastebin.com/VfS4cDpe ActionParsnip  has just stopped.
SpecialEd, you could use dd to make images of the partitions, then use dd to restore them to new machine
How can I find each application in the files?
SpecialEd, you likely only need /home /var /etc
blackness, oh wow i think i got it to work man... thank you
762: OK I'l look into that then, i do need more than /home /var and /etc tho
SpecialEd, that should be fine, I just mean that you're probably better off starting from an install, and then restoring everything else.
well its a complicated LAMP stack
so to go back through all the various installation configurations could really be a bummer
lol
but dd sounds very attractive to me
SpecialEd, most of the config should be in /etc
yeah should be the key word :)
SpecialEd, /etc/php5/apache2  /etc/apache2  /etc/mysql   --  your configs are spread around?
theres css and configs for the CMS installed in /var/www and theres apachesolr and others
actually clonezilla looks interesting
I used to work for a data backup company where we did P2V conversions (windows to VirtualBox VM) every 5 minutes
I use Clonzilla and it works great
SpecialEd, Amanda is another good one. It depends on your specific needs, really
which we stored in ubuntu hosts with zfs
well i dont have gui, as long as i can do what i need from terminal then im all good:)
i 'upgraded' to natty kernel now software wont install, is this common with a kernel upgrade?
will clonezilla/amanda make a VDI or any type of hard drive image file?
WeThePeople, what "software"?
gimp
WeThePeople: Did you update the /etc/apt/sources.list ?
and alot other
no
apt-get update && apt-get upgrade
WeThePeople, you need to update and upgrade
Does that get errors?
WeThePeople, where did the kernel come from?
like 762 said, run the command I gave above with root and u should be good to go
WeThePeople, reboot too.
so, how do I re-initialize the screen from a script?  I mean force the kernel or X or whatever to go through their normal startup/screen init routines?
sevin_six_two, http://paste.ubuntu.com/1371795/
seven_six_two, ^^^
WeThePeople, sudo apt-get upgrade
SpecialEd: Clonezilla can save as a file and run from the terminal
WeThePeople, sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
i'm running ubuntu 12.04 ... is there a way to upgrade to 12.10 without burning the ISO to dvd and such?
no dist-upgrade
i dont like the new dist layout
im on lucid
VanessaE: Unless you want to restart X, you don't. What problem are you actually trying to solve?
Gyro54: Thanks
WeThePeople, why would you be on lucid?
Jordan_U: When I resume from suspend, the screen is dead - black, no mouse - but the machine is alive and well.  I can ssh in, issue commands, the whole bit.  My only success thus far has been 'vbetool post', which wakes the screen up, gives me a slightly distorted mouse pointer which moves, and a completely garbled, flickering display.
yes?
VanessaE: Are you using open source or proprietary graphics drivers?
WHAT! Seven_Six_Two ... you did NOT just answer my question before i asked...did you? @_@
;)
so I can turn the video back on with a command, but I can't figure out how to properly re-initialize it, so that I can just plug the appropriate commands into the power manager's setting.
seven_six_two, i found a way to easily make my broadcom device work ie. upgrading to natty kernel
WeThePeople, are you trying to install from the old-releases.ubuntu.com server?
ok back to the problem from today.  Ntp in a kvm environment
I'm using the gallium3d driver, but this also happens with the old default radeon driver.  No proprietary on the affected machine.
this is making me crazy
i'm running ubuntu 12.04 ... is there a way to upgrade to 12.10 without burning the ISO to dvd and such?
er
rgenito: with a network connection, yes.
VanessaE: If you ctrl+alt+F1 (to get to a text console) is that also garbled?
rgenito, sudo upgrade-manager -d
SwedeMike, sweet :)
seven_six_two, no from soft center
Jordan_U: yes.
SwedeMike, how so? as Seven_Six_Two says? sudo upgrade-manager -d ?
VanessaE: Please file a bug report (if one hasn't been filed already).
the appearance changes from one console to another - the one on which X is running shows a garbled version of X's display.
Jordan_U: where?  against what package?
WeThePeople, but that is an EOL distro, so the update servers have changed.
rgenito: http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/upgrade
Jordan_U: this sort of problem (dead screen on resume) has been reported by others across multiple video devices and system chipsets.  No one has come forward with a solution.
rgenito, sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade && sudo update-manager -d
Jordan_U: so I am attempting to create a workaround that at least works on the affected laptop.
SwedeMike, sweet! thanks :)
and thank you as well Seven_Six_Two ! :)
rgenito, I didn't realize that there was a web walkthrough.
Jordan_U: a point of note:  If I disable KMS, I can suspend/resume without any issue at all - except then gallium3d gets disabled and I'm dropped back to VESA mode.
quit HIGHLIGHTING me
lol
Savage_CL: *random highlight*
;)
awww man, that web walkthrough sucks
Nah, Jordan highlights me
....i dont get the same prompt >[
now, can someone type something like Jordan_a
VanessaE: It's a KMS driver, so the code is technically in kernel, so in that sense I would say against linux, but you'll probably get better debug info from "ubuntu-bug xorg" so do that instead.
looks like i'll do Seven_Six_Two's method!
I wish to test if I fixed it
ok.
VanessaE: Thanks.
Jordan_U can you say your own nick, for me?
hi. i am installing a game using the .sh extention using the terminal. the installer shows the default installation location as my home folder; however i don't want it to save it there? Do you have any idea where usually are games saved by default, when running a .deb package? is it in /etc or in /usr or /var? thanks.
usually it's in /usr/
but it depends on the package
is there a ppa for chromium stable that is actually staying current?
I suggest /usr/local actually.
Savage_CL: For testing things please join #test.
(I've always installed stuff to there if it didn't come from the repositories)
All I need is for someone to say your nick again
Jordan_U: *jordan's nick*
there. :)
that's not fun. that highlights me.
odd
because you used my name
(I am Jordan)
ah
 VanessaE: that's great. I noticed that /usrlocal/games has a previous installation. thanks a lot. I will save it there. :)
moose-machine: no promises :-)  I'm just used to using that path for non-default stuff.
 VanessaE: :)

if a program is acting strangly how can u terminate it?
kill -SIGHUP |Nordom|
or -9
nordom, ctrl+c
is there a ppa for chromium stable that is actually staying current?
is there a command I can run in terminal?
google-chrome-stable superfake123 ?
|Nordom|, ps x, then kill -9 PIDHERE
blackness: kill -programName?
no... -SIGHUP is signal hangup.
just use kill -9
I don't want chrome, I want chromium D:
okay I will try.. how ever its my IRC that is acting strange ;D
for some reason chrome is very unstable with my audio/video. i get hickups and system freezes for like 1-2 seconds pretty often
and I don't have that issue with chromium
thx guys I got it to work!

For a mac is there a better EFI option than rEFIt and grub? grub always acts so funky when loading up Ubuntu
superfake123: it's in the repos
Hey guys, I'm having a difficult time with Clonezilla.  Does anyone know of a "how-to" for making a raw disk image of a Ubuntu 12.04LTS Server from the command line?  I also should note that I do not have access to attach an ISO to the system so this must be run from the active server itself..
SpecialEd: you can use dd to make an image
SpecialEd: it won't be compressed
SpecialEd, that was my first suggestion to you. dd
hey, i have question re skype.
Is se.archives.ubuntu.com not feeling well?
ok thanks guys, i'll re look into dd again.  Since my new server has a lot more ram i'll actually be using clonezilla later for other operations, so nothing was lost on learning about it:) thanks again guys!

"This WebEx recording cannot be played because Java is not enabled in your Web browser or you don't have JVM installed. " help me please. java is installed, what the heck??
Hello is there a max concurrent ssh connection limit on ubuntu (not as the server, but max number of ssh connections open as a client with multiple servers)?
superfake123: if the only way to get that version on Ubuntu is via PPA, why test using that version?
superfake123: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:a-v-shkop/chromium-dev; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install chromium-browser    for ver 25
so sometimes the ctrl+alt+# shell is active over the top of unity

Switches to dk mirrors.
VanessaE: It might also be interesting to see if you can reproduce the problem with Ubuntu 12.10, and with Fedora 18 (you should be able to test it from a LiveCD/USB rather than needing to install). I have a hunch that resuming properly will work in Fedora 18, and I'm curious to see if it does (though further fedora discussion should go to #fedora).

dr_willis:
ok thanks
So I've been trying to use dd with the following command (in bold): dd if=/ of/tempdir/disk.iso but for some reason it doesn't write anything, do I need to dismount the OS to perform DD?
tjmehta: No hard limit, though obviously you'll be limited by what your network can handle. Why do you ask?
SpecialEd:   what are you trying do use for the if? your command is toally messed up
Hallo, I have ubuntu 12.04 on a usb for installing it on a machine...  Thing is machine is UEFI enabled, while the usb only has grub in the boot folder....  I want to boot the machine using UEFI enabled...
Any help on that one??
SpecialEd:  dd if=/dev/sda1 of=/dev/sdb1  (to make a clone)
dr_willis: I am just trying to use dd to make a disk image of my VM's hard drive.  I do not have access to the host, just the guest
SpecialEd: The if argument needs to be a file or a block device, not a directory.
its a vm so there isn't /dev/sda1
dr_willis: ghanks ill give that a try
./dev/simfs      200G   34G  167G  17% /
SpecialEd: your use of / is wrong. You dont dd a path like that.
hello how do I manage lvm partitions ? I see gparted can't do it
thats what i get from df -h
SpecialEd: And you should be *very* careful with dd, if you get something wrong you could whipe out all the data on your hard drive.
Hi All, Gnome shell is eating my processor, any ideas ?
SpecialEd:  or to image to a file... dd if=/dev/sda1 of=/media/somemountedpartiothatisnotsda1/file.image
Jordan_U: I understand it operates at the block level, but when I do /dev/simfs I get this (in bold): dd: opening `/dev/simfs': Operation not permitted
I have ubuntu 12.04 on a usb for installing it on a machine which is UEFI enabled, while the usb only has grub in the boot folder....  I want to boot the machine  enabled UEFI
Hi All, Gnome shell is eating my processor / I am using ubuntu 12.10, any ideas ?
SpecialEd:  whats simfs?
dr_willis: As previously stated this is a VM without access to the host therefore I can't add other media
SpecialEd: What is the output of "lsb_release -d"?
me2ersh, stick your finger down its throat and make it regurgitate it
Description:	Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS
SpecialEd:  where are you putting the image at then?
Jordan_U : building a service create live (editable) server-side code examples in the browser, right now the server holds ssh connections with all of the sandboxes hosting code
SilvereX, when i print the usage, it says 350% !
dr_willis: to my new hosted dedicated server where I can have better control
SpecialEd: Please pastebin the output of "mount".
./dev/simfs      200G   34G  167G  17% /
thats the only line that matters on mount command, the rest is normal /dev /run /run/lock and /run/shm
SpecialEd:  so you need to dd through a sshtunle/pipe to a different machine?
ive never heard of a simfs so no idea on that.
SpecialEd: Please follow my directions, I'd like to see the complete output of the command "mount", no more, less, or different.
dr_willis: if i can have it write the dd to the same disk no, if i can't then yes i'll rsync through ssh tunnel
me2ersh, try killing the gdl_box process
SpecialEd: And please use http://pastebin.ubuntu.com .
Jordan_U: Sure thing, it won't be any different than what I just told you though :)
And remove the gdl package as it's not supported
SpecialEd:  that would be recursive.. and you dont want to image a filesystem thats getting written to
http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/1371853/
SpecialEd:  a different partion/filesystem on the disk may work
SpecialEd: Please follow my instructions exactly. I asked you for the output of "mount".
dr_willis: I agree but Windows does it all the time with Shadow Copies...
this isent windows.. and dd is a very low level tool.
filezilla perhaps could do it
Jordan_U: my bad, here ya go: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/1371855/
dd works at the same level as windows shadow copies, block level
dd also dosent trim out empty space either.. a 100gb hd will make a 100gb image.. even if its 1% used
but its either here nor there and windows is crap, ecspecially windows 8
SpecialEd: You have a very odd configuration because this is a hosted container, not a default Ubuntu install.
Jordan_U: yeah, as soon as I am done with this I'm gonna kiss that host good-bye
Hey guys, I'm trying to play TF2 on steam for linux, but I get an error that I need to update openGL
I've tried updating my AMD catalyst drivers but it didn't help
SilvereX, did that, nothing changed. I also have a blinking cursor on the screen, like there is an invisible terminal. may be this is the reason ?
me2ersh: does it look like this: http://i.imgur.com/xUMKv.jpg ??
I'm using the SHARED CONNECTION setting in network manager. Im sucking in wifi to computer a, and sharing it to another computer via the eth0 port. This works with my laptop running fedora, but when I plug it into other devices it doesn't work. I was curious if this is distro/windows manager specific or not. The other machine is yellow dog linux on an old mac g4.
me2ershm are you using mutter, compiz or metacity?
SpecialEd: There is no real block device associated with symfs, it just maps files in your container to files in the host's filesystem. To do a block level copy you'd need to be able to access the host's hard drive (which also contains the files for all of the other containers on that machine).
SpecialEd: In other words, dd is not an option for you.
Jordan_U: OK that makes more sense to me now, I'm not familiar with SimFS.  Basically I'm trying to move files from a OpenVZ VPS system to my dedicated server where I have created a Guest VirtualBox VM  (All machines are Ubuntu 12.04LTS Server x64).  Should I just rsync / to / ?
sounds like a job for TAR!
just like a V2V conversion
or maybe scp / to / ?
SpecialEd: You can do that, just know that there are probably a lot of configuration files that contain settings specific to OpenVZ containers, since that's what the system you're using now is.
think I should try asking my hosting company if they can create an ISO of the OpenVZ server for me?
i mean
SpecialEd: rsync is the way to go, if you really want to copy everything. Though after the rsync your new "copied" system will probably fail to boot until you remove the OpenVZ specific stuffs.
not hte openvz server, but my guest but have them create is for me from their server
wow
just ignore the last 2 things i typed, makes no sense, let me repeat
sorry
SilvereX, no, i am getting you a video of it now
jquip: How did you put 12.04 on the USB?
Jordan_U: Could I ask my hosting company to go onto their OpenVZ server and create a raw disk image of my VPS server for me?
specialed, lxc was great and in kernel solutions
SpecialEd: There is no raw disk to image, your container is just a collection of files in a directory.
ahhh, so its really a pseudo vm then
SpecialEd: Exactly.
SilvereX, check this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y70BIb3BuJI this is what I see. this blinking thing is always there
Pesudo Virtual ;)
closer to a type 1 hypervisor but guests are shared
wow, I really hate my old hosting company now, why would they use OpenVZ when there are FAR better solutions for selling VPS such as VirtualBox?
me2ersh: I have that sometimes; it goes away if I reboot
me2ersh, Yeah, I was just about to suggest rebooting
far better ? Not always
qtip, SilvereX I rebooted many times, it never goes, and since it appeared, gnome-shell is eating the processor
why not use vbox then?
me2ersh: wow, mine went away
try ctrl+alt+f1
specialed, there are some benefit on lightweight / para virtualisation like openvz or lxc compared to vbox or similar
and ctrl+alt+f7 to get back
that's the console that is showing up on mine
mine was the login prompt
Hi, I have one question. When I do sudo apachectl restart , it gives me error saying "apache2: Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using 127.0.1.1 for ServerName
httpd not running, trying to start"
the_dark_knight, thats not a error
qtip, ctrl + alt + f6 changed the position of the cursor
Hey, will I be able to completely replace all of fedora by booting into ubuntu using unetbootin?
I'm out of blank dvd's :/
Bustacap: Yes.
exit
blackshirt: so what is the problem?
just a warning
the_dark_knight: you're binding to the wrong ip probably
Check if your apache was started
jquip: If you're still trying to boot via UEFI tomorrow I can help you then.
jordan, but using unetbootin adds it onto a section of the hard drive. How can I format the hard drive if I'm running the os off of it? Or does it boot it into the ram from the files on the hard drive?
Jordan_U: aww shucks thanks...
bustacap you've been on Swift
don't use unetbootin
qtip: I have 127.0.0.1 in my /etc/apache2/sites-available/default. but then why does it say 127.0.1.1 in the warning.
Savage_CL, ?
shrink your current partition (with a gparted live cd)
qtip: no I didn't try 0.0.0.0
create a new one
done
I don't have anymore blank cd's or dvd's or a flash drive lol
I just have to get this done right now!! Boss told me to install it : Am trying http://sourceforge.net/projects/ubuntu-secured/files/ubuntu-secure-remix-12.04.1-32bits.iso/download
What would be the problem with unetbootin?
Jordan_U: that links seems okay???
nothing
Does unetbootin boot the files into ram?
Jordan_U:  Am trying http://sourceforge.net/projects/ubuntu-secured/files/ubuntu-secure-remix-12.04.1-32bits.iso/download   .. . The guy behind it: Yannubuntu, he's the one who filed the bug report that UEFI booting doesnt work well with 32 bit ubuntu images
me2ersh: any luck?
SilvereX, qtip rebooting and switching to a previous kernel fixed it
Bustacap, it puts an iso on to usb for later booting
Seven_Six_Two, there is a hard drive mode
qtip: nslookup gave some output.
SilvereX, qtip  thanks for ur time :)
Bustacap, what's harddrive mode?
me2ersh, No worries mang
Seven_Six_Two, it's a mode of unetbootin to boot an iso from a hard drive if you don't have a usb drive..
Bustacap:  grub2 can do that - if you set it up right. :)
Whenever I try to launch TF2 from the steam linux beta client it says "Required OpenGL extension "GL_EXT_texture_sRGB_decode" is not supported. Please update your OpenGL driver.
How would I go about doing that?
but if you try to partion the hd the iso is on.. well.. that may get tricky
qtip: http://www.bpaste.net/raw/RRbQIMlBvVkheg3gS1k4/
Jordan_U :  So I'm guessing he created the boot with UEFI successfully... 64-bit was recommended but ..my machine is 32-bit.. so i'mma  try the 32, then the 64 bit image from the same site...  Good idea???
Ok, well I'm trying to get ubutu installed and replace fedora without a blank cd, dvd, or usb,
Bustacap:  do you have a seperate /boot/ partition?
And I'm impatient, and like a challenge :P
SilvereX, you need a new video driver. If your driver was automatically installed, it is likely not supported yet.
dr_willis, nope.
I don't think so.,
Bustacap:  or any extra partions that are ext2/3/4 and not in a lvm or any other weirdness. ;)
SilvereX, the option is likely not supported yet. Linux drivers are quite a bit behind the Windows ones. ATI and NV aren't super helpful.
Seven_Six_Two, I tried updating my AMD catalyst drivers but they're notorious for being broken
Bustacap:  if so.. you could set up grub2 on Freora to boot the iso file.
dr_willis, my only parition is fedora
Bustacap:  you could resize it i guess...
I'd still need a live cd of some sort for that
Hey Everyone,
I am currently conducting an internet usage survey for one of my university courses.
Can you please take a few minutes of your valuable time to complete the survey bellow.
https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/WCST6XN
The results will be posted once the data has been gathered and analysed.
Best Regards,
Eh unless I unetbootin gparted live
Then shrink
i thought fedora used lvm or somthing by default. ;)  but i dont use it.. I have set up grub2 on ubuntu to boot an iso file from a differnt disk/partition and was able to install from ISO  to the rest of the hd that way.
vas01: please use #ubuntu-discuss so discuss about ubuntu
vas01: this is for support
RamchandraApte: sorry
RamchandraApte: do you know the best way of spreading my survey would be (specifically to students or life long learners)?

Hi! Is there any channel for support specific to VNC/x11vnc on Ubuntu
himcesjf: what's wrong with your vnc
I'm not able to get x11vnc working after recent update. I've reconfigured DM for kdm over lightdm and here are the working, failed attempts - http://paste.ubuntu.com/1367286/ . What am I missing in the command?

I'm trying to get Ubuntu going on a desktop machine with a Radeon 3200 and Radeon 3850 graphics cards and had to set nomodeset to get it to boot
oh, hold on, just found the right wiki page
i cannot for the live of me get an ntp server workint
what the hell is the trick to this
kvothetech:  ?
grendal: its installed yes ? and the service started ?
ya
grendal: where does it get time?
this is a kvm host. i have a vlan with vms running on  10.10.0.0 subnet
umm the server gets the time accurately
i cant seem to connect the guest machines to read the servers time.
how do I change a user's password via the terminal?
passwd username
passwd: Authentication token manipulation error
grendal: cant connect ? can you ping the ntpd? ip/port?
did you put in the username
passwd: password unchanged
yes
does the user exist
is the problem that I'm that usernmae now?
or do I need sudo?
ya you will probably need to be sudo
sudo -s
then password for the user you are..then passwd username
yes, that was it
thanks
np
what's sudo -s?
sticky
I didn't do that
it stays there so you dont have to type in sudo with every command
meaning don't go away until I unsudo?
it makes you root
fknaright
k
thanks
np
almoxarife, ok so ya i can ping it...the host is bridged to the..network via ip 10.10.0.254...hey i got an idea
you ever used teamviewer?
hi
almoxarife, dude

grendal: network issue? pinged it?
i can ping the server, i can ssh to it, i can...do all kinda of thangs with the sever..but cant seem to get ntp from it
grendal: the npt client pointing to the correct ip/port?
10.10.0.254:123
grendal: that means nothing to me, lets see the conf for the client and the deamon
jquip: It's *very* rare to find 32 bit UEFI hardware, are you sure that's what you have?
i can ntpstrace it
10.10.0.254: stratum 16, offset 0.000000, synch distance 0.000000
but, it does not sync to the same time
jquip: How did you put 12.04 on the USB?
izzit?? lolz.. dear me.. :) yep.. dat's what the windows system sayeth
grendal: lets see the conf for the client and the deamon, pastebin them
usb-creator-gtk ?
daemon too
Jordan_U: usb-creator-gtk ...
jquip: That doesn't prepare USB drives to be booted via UEFI (or didn't last time I looked).
Jordan_U : erm.. Not a good idea??
I don't really need the 3200 working (though I need it to not prevent the machine from booting without nomodeset) both monitors are connected to the 3850
Jordan_U: uhoh.. okay.. just read your message..
jquip: Why do you think that you have a 32 bit machine with UEFI firmware?
ahahha  :D  Well the Windows 7 is on it.. says its 32-bit...   Boot screen-> American Megatrends-> Boot Compliance: UEFI 2. something
s/the//
grendal: look at the ntp log too for anything abbynormal
s/the//g
ya ive been doing that all night
but there is just a statistics log
damon log says nothing about it
getting past together
jquip: It may be a 32 bit Windows installation, but you probably have a 64 bit CPU and 64 bit UEFI firmware.
but but.. its windows???
how would it be so smart to allow that??
jquip: What is the model of the computer you're using?
Jordan_U : erm... 32-bit I still think -> Atom CPU
jquip: i bought a lappy with 32bit win, then i found out i had a 64bit machine by accident
almoxarife: hoo boy ain't you lucky!!
okay... so there's good reason to check with 64-bit linux  instead..
almox
almoxarife, http://pastebin.com/SHHj3XUi
jquip: There are 64 bit Atom CPUs, but yest that does make it seem more likely to be 32 bit while still having UEFI. I really do need to leave now though. If you're lucky then you have a 64 bit machine, and the easiest thing to do is th burn the standard 64 bit Ubuntu iso to a CD/DVD and boot from that (note those were very specific instructions, and every part of them is important).
Valid point ! Jordan_U take care eh! Thanks! Cheers..
I'll try both.. 32 at first
cause its downloaded already...
okay.. before you go Jordan_U
Boot shows Intel Atom CPU D2500
hello
unetbootin on Debian wheezy doesn't seem to be able to create 12.10 x64 bootable USBs
jquip: you have a 64bit machine
WhAAAA????
Are you serious???
jquip: you should run 64bit os
Yay!!!

http://ark.intel.com/products/59682/Intel-Atom-Processor-D2500-1M-Cache-1_86-GHz <-- look down to 'advanced technologies jquip
okay..  almoxarife.. You win!!
And I winnnnn too! :D
jquip: what it may not do is 'virtualize' , dont ask me, mine does not, something to do with having half a 64bit, the cpu is but the mother board is not, or perhaps you got the full monty'
I'm not able to get x11vnc working after recent update. I've reconfigured DM for kdm over lightdm. x11vnc fails to start on the host system. Here are the past working and current failed attempts - http://paste.ubuntu.com/1367286/ . What am I missing in the command?
oh... darn.. like that eh?
jquip: hell with the 32bit install, start over with the 64, its worth it, faster
almoxarife: haha yeahhh okay :D
hey people!
downloading rite away sah..
does anyone knows where the HP proliant softwares for precise are?
almoxarife,  sorry got bounced
so i got two machine (both kvm hosts) on two diff networks.  machine A keeps getting faster
almoxarife: hrmm... okay..so.. it should be fine... i dont run VM's much... but 64-bit is the way to go then I guess?
config files are identical
64 bit vms are the bomb
jquip: it will run virtualbox just fine, it wont be able to use the (VT-x) option, small price to pay
vt-x ? hardware hooks?
jquip: in virtual you will need to stick with 32bit os's
oh that's okayyy... not a biggie...
ok, so apparently the graphics card is 100% not supported any more. Does anyone know how to turn on nomodeset by default?
nope. but i do have a lot of really good shortbread cookies my daughter made
DarwinSurvivor: set it in the kernel line of /etc/default/grub
almoxarife : just tried the 32 bit image.. 64-bit downloading now... just booted straight into windows...
anyone want one?
:(
jquip: you talking about a live-cd?
jquip, why would you do that..windows will give you psyphilus
at least thats what i heard
im sorry
almoxarife: ermmm... a live-usb created via usb-creator-gtk ... wrong??   grendal: lolz you dun gone crazy!
i sorry
jquip: did you setup the machine to boot from usb?
yes yes
what are you trying to do exactly..(i missed that part selfish me) i run vm's on several diff types of hosts.
how can i have only one work space
almoxarife: the GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash" line?
DarwinSurvivor: exactly
i want to remove workspace switcher too
grendal: Just trying to get linux on this netbook that i have..
o
i thought you were having a problem with virutalization
almoxarife: thanks. one that thing, how do I change which boot option (ex: ubuntu vs other-os) is the default?
almoxarife: aha ! ubuntu is booting
almoxarife: I see GRUB_DEFAULT=0, but no indication of which id is for which OS
grrrr... almoxarife you look at those pastbins?
sorry my bad
DarwinSurvivor: count down, find the line that would be the other, which is it?
its ok.. jquip we forgive you...this time.
there are two boot priority settings in boot and I needed to select both of 'em
weird.. that was
almoxarife: won't that change if/when new kernels are added?
salright this time. but next time ..oh there will be consequences
DarwinSurvivor: or pastebin your /etc/default/grub file
DarwinSurvivor: not with new kernels, unless you mean new installed os's
almoxarife: ok, I think it was the 3rd one, will have to reboot to verify
DarwinSurvivor: if its the third then the choice is actually numeral (2), it counts from zero
hmm, just rebooted and it's the 5th, so that would be id 4. ok
DarwinSurvivor: exactly

nicekiwi: dont have a option for that at grub menu?
><
still can't push 1440p on 12.10
puppy_parade: its hard to say, can you pastebin /var/log/syslog
almoxarife, no. Only for recovery which mounts the harddrive in readonly mode
nicekiwi: there is always control-alt-f1/f5
jquip: I'm actually back by the way, though it looks like you're set.
almoxarife, all I'm seeing is apt-demon and avahi-daemon
almoxarife, that dosnt kill X
nicekiwi: no, it does not
almoxarife, so.. kinda not a solution for booting..
Hi all, again.  I have really stuff my package manager up this time for good I think.
nicekiwi: probably not, killing it after the fact wont work?
DarwinSurvivor: What version of Ubuntu are you using?
nicekiwi: What exactly are you trying to do?
gordonjcp, boot into commanline
nicekiwi: but not single-user mode?
gordonjcp, no..
gordonjcp, and passing 'quiet splash text' ar brug just gives me a blank screen
nicekiwi: leave off "quiet splash" and tell me what happens
gordonjcp: that will still boot into the graphics, minus those two options
gordonjcp, just a blank screen
nicekiwi: is this a temp thing? or permanent?
nicekiwi: totally totaly blank?
nicekiwi: nothing *ever* comes up?
almoxarife, temporary to install drivers.
gordonjcp, nope, never. The monitor says it has signal but its just black
nicekiwi: then why not kill xorg do the install then reboot?
nicekiwi: so at no point after hitting the power button do you see *anything*?
almoxarife, could o i guess, just so annying thatit wont work in 12.10, worked 100% fine in 12.04
nicekiwi: what is the actual issue?
gordonjcp, after the bios screen and after hitting CtrlX after modifying grub nothing.
almoxarife, I want to boot into commandline to install drivers.
nicekiwi: that's not actually possible
nicekiwi: it sounds like your computer is broken
nicekiwi: then why not kill xorg do the install then reboot?
gordonjcp, what do you mean?
nicekiwi: if you remove "quiet splash" from the boot options and put "text" there, you should at least see the boot messages
esc #
nicekiwi: okay, try "nomodeset text"
gordonjcp, I do not.
k
gordonjcp, still black
nicekiwi: broken monitor?
nicekiwi: are you rebooting, i cant tell from this client
gordonjcp, boot messages never seemed to show normally with nvidia drivers installed anyways.
gordonjcp, monitor works 100%
nicekiwi: at this point the drivers are irrelevant
nicekiwi: did you install nvidia-current?
almoxarife, I am rebooting
nicekiwi: they're not used until X starts
almoxarife, correct
nicekiwi: then what are you having to go down to no graphics for?
almoxarife, to install beta nvidia drivers
nicekiwi: i see, good luck
it seems if I hit Ctrl+Alt+F2 once the screen goes black I reveals text login screen
very odd
nicekiwi: not odd, its a terminal screen
almoxarife, very odd actually.. now how do I run a .run file? 0_o
nicekiwi: xorg is still running
almoxarife, incorrect
ok
almoxarife, the Nividia installer which is currently running would crash and burn if so
ok
almoxarife, thats for ur help in anycase, i realise my reponses didnt make a lot of sense
nicekiwi: wait, are you using the nvidia installer from the nvidia site?
gordonjcp: of course
the big secret
gordonjcp, yes
almoxarife, 0_o secret?
nicekiwi: how does your install last thru the next kernel update?
almoxarife, it dosnt, i simply reinstal untill the stable nvidia is released and aded to the ubuntu repos
nicekiwi: hmm, keep some install media handy
gordonjcp, why that?
nicekiwi: I hope it works for you
I don't have much confidence in that though
nicekiwi: did the hardware and the graphics card comeout last week?
almoxarife, no?
nicekiwi: did the hardware and the graphics card comeout last week? last month?
almoxarife, no?
nicekiwi: ok

maybe a bit less

almoxarife, ok will do
/lib/modules/3.5.0-17-generic/build: No such file or directory <-- how do i get that directory to exist?
flynsarmy: you compiling from source?
almoxarife: no, installing acpi_call module
this is my problem, anyone a solution? http://pastebin.com/dvpwaaA3
flynsarmy: build folders usually have os after them, build_unix
flynsarmy: i would say you are missing dev files/packages from the looks of it
iamzim, almoxarife: it's just a package i need to install, i've done it before. forgot thte package though
anybody has problem setting wallpapers with Unubu Tweak ?
*Ubuntu
Krambiorix: i googled it for you,  http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1504775 , someone has seen that before
almoxarife, yes, i did that already but the messages won't go away
Krambiorix: no idea, i dont allow that service to run, not sure what i am missing
almoxarife: which "service"?
postfix
thanks i try again
almoxarife: ...
postfix gordonjcp
almoxarife: yes, I'm just surprised that a) you don't know what it is, b) you didn't bother to check what it is, and c) you stopped it running without bothering to check what it is
almoxarife: run, *now*
almoxarife: that's the thing that stops it becoming Skynet
gordonjcp: i do know, i didnt need the chatter in the mailbox
almoxarife: heh
almoxarife: if you're not actually running a mail server, you can get rid of it
gordonjcp: yes
gordonjcp: and i assume mailbox servers on ubuntu machines are evildoers too
Hey folks, I don't have much time to stay and diagnose this at the moment, but I thought it might be worth a shot: Windows 7 Software RAID in Ubuntu
almoxarife: normally you always need a MTA (mail transport agent)
hey, community  i am new to ubuntu how can i have only one work space
Is there any way I can get access to it without having to break the array?
almoxarife: on every unix/linux system
Is there someone English Motherlanguage ?
jackiechan0: #english
iceroot: is that the postfix service?
ice799: thanks
almoxarife: yes, postfix is the default MTA in ubuntu
iceroot: thanks
how do people contribute with me on open source software?
agu10^: that sounds like a question you should take to #ubuntu-offtopic ;-)
ok
iceroot: i had to check, didnt want to talk out of turn, service postfix is not running, and i email just fine
jordan: I'm using 12.10 (64 bit)

Hey Guys
I have a question about linux signals
Is this the right channel for this question
I am using IRC for the first time
vthakkar: welcome
Hi
vthakkar: best to just ask the question, if it's not appropriate for the channel, someone will direct you to the appropriate channel
Ok, so the question is the following
I have a parent process which periodically does wait() and terminates when the child process exits and returns it's status
Now I want that when the child process terminates, the parent process should come out of sleep immediately and do the processing required
how do I do that in linux
?
vthakkar: perhaps ##linux is a better channel to ask in
ok, thanks I will try there.
vthakkar: yes, ##linux sounds best. at a quick glance, wait should already do that for you, so you may need to explain more thuroughly what you are currently experiencing
almoxarife: postfix has nothing to do with your "real" mail like gmail, gmx, hotmail and so on, its the internal mail (used by cron for example)
almoxarife: a MTA is needed for the unix/linux system to operate correctly and to inform the user
iceroot: i didnt realize that ubuntu uses postfix for MTA, and i use opensuse which uses 'sendmail' as MTA, so i should not have said a thing to the nick that had the isue with postfix, my bad
issue
almoxarife: sendmail is fine too but (if you dont have to configure it...)
iceroot: mta for ubuntu 'postfix' , got it
almoxarife: :)
iceroot: mta for opensuse 'sendmail'
any reqonk gurus here/.

Is there a way to map FN-Keys to mplayer (so one can do next/previous track without going to the terminal where mplayer is running)
Is there someone who can tell me if my pc specs can fully support Ubuntu 12.10?
ioneye, they can
Here are some of the basic specs: http://pastebin.com/nRhVsZpM
if you can't run full ubuntu 12.10 you might have good luck with xfce spin or lxde spin if your resources are minor
since my laptop has way less specs then that and runs ubuntu just fine, you will be just fine
this will run just fine. not shure which driver for the AMD graphics card you need. you will find it in wiki
I use to have an Nvidia 7400 and the screen was flickering. Thats why i am asking. If i am going to have any problems mainly regarding the ATI drivers or something familiar
Edit: I used to have*
you have to play around, either the propetiary drivers or not, find which one works for you
I have a low end nvidia card and it handles unity way better then my ati card did
Thats what i am trying to avoid. Playing around. Installing and Unistalling a whole operating system.
just the drivers not whole operating system
Yeah but if the drivers are not able to support my graphic card then what other solution do i have besides trying something different.
ioneye: you could try a live distro or on a usb stick
Good point. Thats something i didn't think of.
drivers are just something you got to get use to, even with windows, you have to install and setup drivers to get graphics cards to work at peak performance
Well, in windows for example things are pretty straight forward. Download the latest drivers for the coresponding graphic card and you are done.
Anyway, i am going to do what you suggested. Install it on a flash driver and mess around
unetbootin?
ubuntu makes it pretty straight forward too, when you go into system there is a graphic that looks like a graphic card and says additional drivers, click on that and it will recomend the drivers for you
Hi all what code can I input on a batch that launches a GUI program that requires a 'yes' or a 'no' to complete a task?
riqdiiz: graphicly you have to push yes? or is it an argument that you can pass at cli?
Yes.but I want the script to do the push.what code Do I give?
hi
riqdiiz  guess it depends on the command, some have -y you can add
riqdiiz, input y/n, here is an example > http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?s=48fadaad9f68358c325e70451e93ee8f&p=3228501&postcount=5
how can i echo a stinr to end of last line of a file?
is it possible to interact with a gui with the cli? i would think once it ran with whatever arguments you pass at calling that would be it right?
if it even accepts arguments

Hello. So I've noticed a popup-menu in a few apps (like Firefox), when I doubleclick the address bar to mark a url. There are options like "Open in Firefox" and some others (can't remember and at the moment it does not seem to pop up...). Anyhow, this must be a Ubuntu thing, not Firefox-specific. Does anybody know where this is coming from or how to change the options? Or maybe how to deactivate it
alltogether?

 Hi all, i have a network with mixed Windows and Linux Installation and all the internet traffic is through a websense proxy. The case is most of the time the connection to this websense proxy from Linux machines times out, but windows machines works fine. Has anyone come across such an issue, or what can be the root cause of this problem? Any help is greatly appreciated.
ranjan, is this debian?
bazhang, not its Ubuntu 10.04 and CentOS 6.2
bazhang, there are around 200 Machines
bazhang, have you come across such an issue in debian? it may apply to Ubuntu also
afaik 10.04 does not get updates anymore.
yvesD, sure it does. check the topic here

Doesn't anybody have a clue about that strange small popup that sometimes shows when doubleclicking (marking) URL in the address bar of Firefox for example? It's pretty annoying as the options are pretty much useless to me and also breaks my workflow, meaning I have to do an extra click to get rid of the popup menu before I am amble to actually hit Ctrl+C to copy a URL.
Mrokii, yes. there is an arrow that leads to a menu saying, dont ask again
bazhang: Hm, okay. Didn't notice that yet, but I will look. Thanks.
Hello?
Any one ?
Hello?
lujy, ubuntu support question?
bazhang: I have no clue what you're talking about, honestly. Was that a remark about me asking the question once more or an actual answer? If so, I don't see anything like what you described.
Why I cannot find other channel?
what other channel?
Mrokii, a small popup window that appears in the address bar of Firefox? I thought that was your issue
lujy  type /msg alis list *blah* to find a channel
Any ubuntu 12.04 user?
lujy, yes of course
I am using gnome3
but I have a problem
blehhh ubuntu 12.10 is soooo alien to me
bazhang: Yes, but not only in Firefox. And it has four options, Open in Mozilla, Open in Firefox, Open in Opera (I think) and something else I forgot. That's all. Strange thing is it doesn't always appear and I don't know how to either disable it or change the (for me) useless options.
Can gnome3 search like Unity dash?
Guest62018  it means you're learning something new

Does anyone know how to change metric settings on my l2tp vpn settings like that checkbox on Windows, because i'm connected and it works but all pages are blocked right know
well 1 thing for sure the xchat-indicator dosent work right in 12.10
Mrokii, that sounds somewhat different on second listening as you have further clarified
Guest62018, it works perfectly here
Guest62018: you are able to flee from unity for example for xfce. also check "things to do first after 12.10 install" for removing of shopping lens and so on
Guest62018, perhaps you have misconfigured it
Any chinese channel?
yeah well when i minamize to tray and then try to maximize it start a whole new xchat for me
bazhang: Sorry for not explaining it properly. I just don't get where this is coming from, but as it's not only FX where it appeard (Thunderbird and Chrome as well) I assume it must be some Ubuntu-thing.
and yes the other one is still running in here

ms_  better ask in #bash
i need to get some parameters from a udev event (usb insertion) that triggers a bash script. I managed to find that $ID_VENDOR has the value of ATTRS{vendor}, now i need to know how i can get the values of ATTRS{model}, ATTRS{idVendor}, ATTRS{idProduct}, ATTRS{bcdDevice}, ATTRS{serial}. Anyone knows how i can get them in my bash script?
im on irc on my phone.... pastebin wont happen. :)
plusEV: your t60 has no net connection?
i guess i will just try another distro
MonkeyDust, thanks :)
yea it has but ok... ill get weechat on it
hi everyone i'm having a DCOM error of communication on my Ubuntu 12.10 and my Windows server 2008 how can i correct that ?
thanks nibbler
Cuacrzz: welcome
im behind firewall or something. doing this when home. cya later.
32bit linux supports way more than 4GB RAM, as address width was increased to 48bit (iirc) long before 64bit cpus were mainstream. "large mem support" its called in linux i believe
auronandace: ah right, was just in reply to plusEVs questions before
nibbler: still, even with pae applications can't use more than 4 gb
per application not, but system memory would be >4GB
yes
which was the complaint of plusEV
he said he was using 64bit
oh, overread that then....
he didn't give me the output of a command so that i could verify it
hello, I've got some problems with wpa2. There seems to be a fix added to precise proposed (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/wpasupplicant/+bug/969343/comments/96) but how do I install it? apt-get install wpasupplicant/precise-proposed doesn't work
Xeli: either wait till its released normally or enable the proposed repos
auronandace: I have added the proposed repo's to my /etc/apt/sources.d, as per https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed
Xeli: then just: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
hi
#php
auronandace: When I run apt-get update I can see precise-proposed being 'hit', but dist-upgrade does nothing
Xeli: is that fix in your mirrors yet?
strange, /join #php doesnt seem to work. i can join other channels?
hello guys
what edition of ubuntu has lowest hardware requirements?
auronandace: mm that might be it, how can I check what mirror I am using?
Hello?
ah i see -_- new to using this gnome xchat application
hello
Is it possible to install windows 7 inside ubuntu 12.04?
I want to dual boot
yes
but would be easier to first install windows then linux
anyone have a xorg.conf for a nvidia GTX470 and a Apple Cinema Display 30"? I'm having problems getting full resolution.
I dont have that option
need help about linux(terminal)
if you install Win7 after ubuntu you'll need ubuntu live boot to fix grub
because windows install overrides any boot managers
ok
thank you for this information
noobatlife: inside ubuntu? as in a vm?
drag0nius
no
so basically: Install Ubuntu -> Install Windows 7 -> put live USB in -> fix Grub
can u hel[ me?
dragon..
as in installed
on the hard disk
Ok
noobatlife: you can't do that from INSIDE ubuntu
auronandace: ah no, I made a /etc/apt/preferences file which only allows explicit installs of the proposed repo, I've removed it now but dist-upgrade will install a lot of packages, can I choose to install wpasupplicant?
thanasakos what u need?
oh]
Xeli: no idea sorry, i keep only the normal repos
noobatlife: you'd need a win7 disk to boot from
auronandace what?
auronandace: alright, thanks for the tips tho
dragon
you can make separate partition to install win7 on
help with terminal
yeah but what with it
or what need to install
yes
That was what i wanted to do
i am new
I wanted to install windows on a partition
of the same hard disk that ubuntu is on
just make partition and install :P
then boot from ubuntu live usb and repair grub
and will be fine
ii want to tell me something to do for learn use linux
Ok
Junior_: the error is?
thanasakos just google "linux basics"
the putty windows is closed when write password
thanasakos: #bash may be more help
bash from win7 I gues it is not possible
Junior_: What? If you mean running Putty in Windows 7, I'm using it right now.
Junior_: you mighgt ask in some win-channels, but doesn't putty have an option not to close the window or some logging features?
nop
ubuntu is not logging
logs on some days doesn't appear
Hello
is like a attack but i'm not sure
is so crazy
any idea
?
Junior_: the error is?
sorry
Junior_: so how do you expect to get any help then? get another ssh-client and hope its more verbose on errors (cygwin)
should be any idea around the trouble
I guess
how can I tell which drive X is using? should be using nvidia but nvidia-settings is telling me it's not running
ubuntu has a limit to user conections by ssh?
Junior_, can you telnet to port 22
Junior_: Is Ubuntu not logging or is Windows not logging. You're being somewhat vauge.
ubuntu is not logging
Junior_: Are you out of diskspace?
nop
Butcho: lsmod
there are space on disk
Junior_: Which log are you looking at?
i saw messages.1
but some days there aren't logs
so crazy
hello again. i think my message went unnoticed. so 3 of the 4 usb ports aren't working. got some data here: http://pastebin.com/mccdna89 . any help ?
Pici: I saw messages.1
tuxtoti: i think the output of dmesg might be more itneresting, after plugging a usb device
Junior_: try /var/log/auth.log
nibbler: oh yeah . just forgot to tell. no dmesg output for the 3 nonworking ports.
tuxtoti: no idea then, sorry
any channels around here were just hardware/kernel people lurk around ?
Pici: I had to restart system phisicaly so /var/log/auth.log has log from system was rebooted
Pici: I lost logs before when something was wrong
I have a problem with current version of kernel in Ubuntu 12.10. It freezes at boot-time. This never happened in previous version of kernel or Ubuntu.
tuxtoti: ##linux or ##hardware
I have core i5 450m CPU and ATI 5470 GPU
vrajesh  what's the outcome of uname -r ?
It won't boot. So, I can't tell that. But I have downloaded the iso recently.
MonkeyDust: ^.
vrajesh: do you have access to /var/log/ ? to look for logfiles?
Can I change the way lightdm runs the X server? Like passing -nocursor to it?
yvesD: Actually the thing is, It won't install, it won't boot from removable media..
vrajesh: totally different matter
vrajesh: you boot from usb?
yvesD: Yes, what I can say for sure is the problem is with kernel only.
vrajesh: why?
It gets stuck at kernel load time...
vrajesh: how did you install onto usb? unetbootin?
Yeah!
And it works on other machines..
vrajesh: what did you choose after unetbootin-prompt? default?
I can't seem to modpobe nvidia .. gives me Module nvidia_current not found/
Butcho: surely the module is just nvidia (not nvidia_current)
whoami
$wrigley
yvesD: Yes. I tried all options, Default, install etc.. Plus I tried installing it via wubi.. Same result. Checked the ISO hash, it seems to be okay..
auronandace: did it both ways. nvidia doesnt seem to want to run
yvesD: thx, wasn't sure for a moment :)
jwrigley: ;)
nouveau driver works great
vrajesh: i had similar, then took text install and worked
yvesD: Oh! Let me try that... Will be right back.. Thanks.
vrajesh: wait
yvesD: Okay,
vrajesh: what is the iso you loaded? debian-live-6.0.5-amd64-gnome-desktop.iso ?
whats up with gnome-media-player...it got bad reviews and doesn't work here either
yvesD: ubuntu-12.10-desktop-amd64.iso
also blender is broken and supertuxkart is broken as well
vrajesh: ah ok, sorry wrong channel
yvesD: What?
hello
how can ubuntu support anything with so much stuff that is totally broken
yvesD: Oh!
georgeph  no rants here, please
vrajesh: maybe you want to try out alternate.iso
There is no alternate as of 12.10.
right
MonkeyDust...not a rant...just a report of facts with broken software...linux keeps breaking everything
georgeph  then report it somewhere, this is the support channel
*detects predujice
MonkeyDust...well nice to know there is a support channel but how do they expect to support the broken packages
yvesD: I will try the text installer, and be back later...
georgeph  better start from the beginning, what were you doing and when did things go wrong
georgeph: blender installs and runs for me, gnome-media-player segfaults, supertuxcart installs and runs
hello
Monkey well i finally found a way to change the default drivers in x...so i got glxgears running on the ati...so then i decided to see if supertuxkart would work...it did until i installed restricted stuff...which took out the avcodec libs...and supertuxkart quit working
my mouse stops working sometimes, is there any problem related to this?
simplew: what mouse? wireless?
georgeph  sounds like a ATI problem, then
ok maybe xchat and no indicator
yvesD: no, usb mouse
MonkeyDust...well could be..it is just hard to tell
bbl
simplew: so its cable? does lsusb tell it is connected?
MonkeyDust ...at least some games do work like the 3d psemu stuff like final fantasy and legend of dragoon
yvesD: it does
georgeph: bug #830569 indicates that gnome-media-player is abandoned upstream and will probably be removed
yvesD: it does not, sorry
simplew: here you go
MonkeyDust...but losing supertuxkart was a real loss just like blender
yvesD: here i go on what?
simplew: if it is not connected, it cannot work
the others look like faults with your configuration rather than things Ubuntu has messed up the packaging of. You can report it with ubuntu-bug blender if you want
MonkeyDust especially since blender is getting some elementary sterioscopic rendering
yvesD: but the cable is connected
simplew: shure. but something is wrong with the connection, otherwise lsusb would show it
georgeph  don't forget to read useful posts that are adressed to you
Alan...how do you report to ubuntu-bug blender
What is the equivalent of .bat extension in ubuntu?
Alan...some people would like to use free stereoscopic rendering
yvesD: of course, thats why im asking about it
riqdiiz: a shellscript
yvesD: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/1072519
Yes
riqdiiz  i use a small custom script without extension
riqdiiz: names/extension do say nothing about a file. a script can be named as anything. just make sure to use a correct shebang and make the script executable
tes
asd
Alan..i am fairly certain the blender failure is x related ...it seems to be a color issue
Alan...but some people would like to freely develop stereoscopic rendered stuff with free bullet physics for 3d vision games
Alan...and supertuxkart was making some elementary progress with bullet physics
Alan...although not stereoscopic rendered frames
Alan...yet
llutz: how do you make a script executable?
riqdiiz: chmod +x file
i dont want to dispaly " myname@computername " in terminal... i just wanna display $ instead of that anyone can help????
In ubuntu?
riqdiiz: in any linux/unix
Do you know how to jump at the end of a file with Vi?
arabi: export PS1="\$"   in your ~/.profile
Virunga: upper case G
llutz where i want to type it
llutz: syntax for file x
quakeguy...what a name ...are you working on a free openarena
Pumpkin-_: thanks you!!
thank*
llutz I didnt get you
pls help
simplew: what does lsusb say, when the mouse works?
i dont want to dispaly " myname@computername " in terminal... i just wanna display $ instead of that anyone can help????
arabi: llutz answered the question. You need to play with your PS1 variable (which controls your prompt).
how to install intel grahics driver  in ubuntu
how to install intel grahics driver  in ubuntu
sumanth...man that stuff is extremely difficult...it took many days to just install an old ati driver
geogreph, tell me how to install
sumanth...well manually remove all the x libs and binaries...and build the xfree tarballs from scratch
geogreph, next
sumanth...then it will build the right directories....and have some configuration tools and configuation files
geogreph, what are the configuration tools and configuation files
llutz: I thought chmod +x only changes permissions.
riqdiiz: read "man chmod"
sumanth..xf86config....and the .conf file in /etc/X11...so the old drivers can talk to it and modify it properly
geogreph, there is no x11 conf
riqdiiz  permission to execute, that is correct
sumanth...yes there is and the atidriver.sh modifies it properly
sumanth but the real problem is broken blender and broken supertuxkart
Does anybody here have any idea where I could talk to mtron (the optimus guy) i need some help from him.
Hello all, I'm trying to install Apache 2 on Ubuntu 12.04 and I get unmet dependencies. I've run all the standard apt-get commands (auto-remove, purge, update, upgrade, install -f) and I still cannot install Apache2. Any suggestions? I googled it...
georgeph, there is any ppa
sumanth...i dont' know about ppa stuff...that kind of packaging stuff i am not familiar with
sumanth...i can barely work with tarballs and debs
pringlescan: can you pastebin the exact messages you're getting?
georgeph, can you tell  me how to install with deb package
sumanth....well no guarantees for cross os stuff...but you can try dpkg -i filename.deb
sumanth...sometimes it works
Pici: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1372611/
sumanth...but get the right debian files for your processor
hi
georgeph, where can i find deb packages for intell hd graphics
sumanth...oh i don't know..you would have to call intel and ask them about their hardware support
I'm using precise in my sources.list I didn't change anything in there from vanilla Ubuntu 12.04 LTS
georgeph: please be helpful or stop your nonsense comments
sumanth: what intel-chipset?
georgeph.., thanks dude
I've replaced the motherboard of my server, but now the network interface doesn't appear in ifconfig and it takes a while to boot with the message "Waiting for network configuration"
what should I do?
llutz...it is not nonsense..just facts
pm-hibernate exits without error message, what can I do?
Pici: it installed it as apache2.2 somehow even though I used apt-get install apache2 to install it, i could not run apt-get remove apache2 to remove it
that seems like a bug to me
pringlescan: What does apt-cache policy apache2-mpm-prefork say?
test
Installed: (none). Candidate: 2.2.22-1ubuntu1 Version Table: 2.2.22-1ubuntu1 and then it lists where the packages are coming from
pici: i got it working, but I see a bunch of people having this issue in google, so it's rather odd, none of the solutions worked for me, I did have apache2.2 installed but I purged that, not sure how it got installed
pringlescan: If you have precise-security and precise-updates enabled you shouldn't be having this issue.  I have both enabled here and I see the proper package versions fine (and apache is installed and working)
hi! is there any similar program for ubuntu like the "rawcopy"?
sdasda  what does it do?
sdasda: don't know what rawcopy is, but it sounds a lot like what "dd" does. Check the manpage / google it and see if it what you need.
anyone know how to create a swap partition in fdisk?  this version doesn't seem to let me!
HDD Raw Copy Tool is a utility for low-level, sector-by-sector hard disk duplication and image creation.
v0lksman: create a new partition (n), set size etc., then change type (t) to 82
sdasda: yeah, that really sounds like dd
llutz: thanks!  been a while!  :)
thanks
http://dpaste.com/833825/  <-  still can't make them identical which is weird
sdasda...they are just trying to put norton out of business
sdasda...but it is none of my business
sdasda  linux has dd if=blah of=blah    <-- input file/output file
v0lksman: you can use sfdisk to dump on one and write to another hd. or just copy everything with the tool of your chice (cp, dd, cat)
<georgeph> I can't really understand you. i was asking about dd, not about norton :)
anyone with experienc e of ssh
<MonkeyDust> thank you
I think I'm going to rebuild.  This was supposed to build with the disks mirrored.
sdasda...well dd is a free version of norton ghost
lol
sdasda...so who will pay for norton's products

Hello there, ive got a question and i hope i am in the right channel...  on my newly installed 12.10 (x64) box im trying to install fglrx which installs just fine, however on reboot it automaticly sets a default resolution that my monitor cant handle which shuts off at that point leaving me blinded. On debian i'd edit that in [/etc/X11/xorg.conf] however on this version of ubuntu i dont find...
...that file. Any idea where that configuration/data is now stored?
channel
In fact I want to recover some data after formating... Do anyone know how to do it?
I've already tried testdisk, but no resoult...
what about photorec

Anyone help with installing the nvidia driver? http://pastebin.com/fpy0u3Zx
my comuter hangs almost daily , running 12,04. Can someone direct me to a log that indicates what is happening, please?
Thank you,,, well it was an ntfs filesystem
Thank you boichev, however installing isnt the issue, im trying to find out where the xorg configuration is stored on 12.10
x7fffffff_: use locate command to search the entire filesystem instantly
sdasda well for woking with ntfs stuff.you can try backtrak5linux...it has some ntfs-3 stuff
x7fffffff_, I think if there is no such file you just can make one
thanks
boichev: no
boichev: the config files are stored in a dir
I tried making one but it doesnt get read... guessing its using a config file other than xorg.conf
x7fffffff_: yes
x7fffffff_: ubuntu uses a dir for the xorg config files
RamchandraApte, x7fffffff_ my bad :)
x7fffffff_: found it. it is at /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/
i just upgraded to 12.10 and i can't get into gui now.  the login screen comes up but when i enter my password the screen flashes black for a second and then returns to login screen
this is my Xorg.log http://paste.ubuntu.com/1372678
peeps, hit Ctrl-Alt-F1, log in, and delete the most recently created dotfiles
O, some times it should be restart for login
Butcho: dotfiles?
peeps: (EE) open /dev/dri/card0: No such file or directory
suck 3 anuses
peeps: you have a problem with nvidia drivers. I don't know how to help with that as I always use intel HD graphics( they can play Doom 3 decently)
Thanks but none of these configs hold any information to the Driver and Screen part of the xorg config
x7fffffff_: what is your proble,?
Thank you. Do you think if ddrescue would work? I mean is it for restoring, or it just makes a copy of the disk?
ok, i'll try reinstalling them i guess.  this crap seems to happen on every upgrade
Ramchandr...what about cube...cube2...cube assault does intel support the free stuff
may close two display mode in bios
[the driver isnt specified in the configs in /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf]
georgeph: ?
georgeph: is uses open-source drivers
my problem is that the default resolution isnt supported by my monitor and therefor needs to be changed in the config.
Ramchandra...have you tested the free cube 2 engines with your intel graphics
omg, they really need to set up a dependenct for nvidia-current to linux-source and linux-headers
i can put ubuntu in my lotop ?
but the config is lost!
peeps, did that fix it?
Butcho: i don't know what you mean dotfiles
maxb: does it a dedicated graphics card?
Ramchand...but really people are getting tired of fps stuff....even third party shooters don't draw an audience anymore...not sure what the outcome will be for the new laura croft propietary stuff
georgeph: at least my 3D gaming needs are satisfied by my integrated card :D
peeps, is there a .dmrc in your home dir
Ramchan...well see if the free cube engines work on your intel
georgeph: pm me for further things
Ramchan...if you like that propietary doom stuff
If I want to open firefox and type in myaddress.com  and click enter then copy all the resulting contents of the page into tomboy notes.how do I use code to do all this withouthaving to click all those buttons?
georgeph: doom is not propriatery
Butcho: yeah
delete it
thankyou...
Ramchand...yes it is....they upgraded to quake engine but still fps
Ramchan...but the cube engines are free
Butcho: still the same problem
eh, restart maybe
or restart the X server
I'm finding myself in need of buying some semi-great graphics-card, since my computer is too slow for semi-advanced video-editing. But I have bad experience with installing a graphicscard on a running Linux system, where as there'd be no problem if I'd install the graphicscard first and then install Linux.....   But I'd rather not have to install Ubuntu and all my programs all over again, so my question is; is there any particular graphicscar
d I'll have more luck with on a running Ubuntu system?
mr_lou: which graphics card do you currently have?
RamchandraApte, Have no idea. Some not-so-spectacular onboard one.
RamchandraApte, It's using Nvidia drivers though.
mr_lou, not sure how a graphics card is going to help that much with video editing
mr_lou: my integrated Intel HD works quite well with Blender
escott, Local computershop dude says it will.
escott, What would you recommend then?
so as far as i understand, journalling only help if the system hangs up and bust be hard-resetted, or if the is a power outage. Is it really all that?
mr_lou: more memory and a good CPU and a good GPU
Ramch...man you are lucky...the only way i currently have blender working is with nvidia on windows...but i would like to get it working with ati on linux
RamchandraApte, My current one also works fine, except when I start adding various filters and whatnot on my videoclips, then it becomes slow.
mr_lou: with what?
RamchandraApte, I'm using Kdenlive.
mr_lou, yes the cards can accelerate decode, but.... that requires driver and program support and the drivers coming from AMD/NVIDIA have never been particularly good wrt those additional features so the programs were never written to take advantage of it
mr_lou: when you are rendering it in the highest settings?
RamchandraApte, No, just playing back in the program.
Laedn, yes
mr_lou: give the output of lspci|grep VGA
Ramch...nobody cares about rendering for 50 inch plasma screens.... they care about free stereoscopic rendering for 3d vision
RamchandraApte, 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation GT218 [GeForce 210] (rev a2)
hi all how to auto mount ntfs drive with user but not root user
sudaya  in /etc/fstab
sudaya, you can set uid,gid options in your fstab entry
sudaya: I think there is an option to auto-mount drives.
when I boot from a key with 12.04 I only see this little tiny blob in the lower left of the screen not the choose a language menu you should see...any ideas why?  I need that primary menu
escott: i have add UUID=E6FE79EBFE79B481	/media/System 	ntfs 	users,defaults 0 0 in fstab
escott: how to set uid
hi
sudaya, uid=1000,gid=1000 in the options
escott: could you please remember me which was the program to remove journaling on 12.04 or 12.10 ?
escott: uid=1000 means ??
Laedn, etunefs
sudaya, it makes 1000 the owner of the files in that folder
escott: thank you!
escott: thank you
don't the package openjdk-7-jdk and openjdk-7-jre include the binaries java and javac?
my eclipse doesn't run anymore and it looks like the binaries got removed, but installing jre and jdk doesn't help
prima  ti sposo poi ti rovino
if i try to run 'java' ubuntu recommends to install openjdk-7-jre-headless (and others) but it already IS installed
escott: sorry, have you any idea how i can run the command if the boot SSD is still mounted?
is there anythin broken with my packaging?
Laedn, livecd
escott: ok, so the change will remain? i'm not actually sure where it will store that value tho
Laedn, its stored in the superblock
escott: k great

hey guys, I am trying to add Twitter as an online account in 12.10 and I am behind a firewall with SOCKS proxy via SSH tunnel.  google, facebook, and this IRC work good, but twitter will not do anything after I click the twitter button and then it wants me to authorize ubuntu to access my twitter account
I just get an empty window
phunguy_work:maybe twitter using an alternative port? try nmap yourself
lotuspsychje: will nmap honor a socks proxy?
phunguy_work:not sure, its worth a try
It works on my laptop when at home, just not here at work.
(behind the proxy)
that leads me to believe there is an issue with the proxy implementation portion of twitter/gwibber
or twitter/online accounts
phunguy_work: is your problem something like this: http://askubuntu.com/questions/172032/when-adding-twitter-details-to-online-account-page-keeps-timing-out-before-i-ca
lotuspsychje: no, when you click twitter, and it comes up with the window that you would normally enter your twitter username and password, nothing happens.  No login dialog.
escott: i'm wondering just a thing: how can i disable journalling on a ubuntu virtual machine?
phunyguy_work:not sure then mate sorry
lotuspsychje: also like I said, normally it works great when I am at home, but on this PC I am forced to proxy.  All other online accounts including this IRC chat via Empathy work great.  Just no twitter
ok.
Laedn: sudo tune2fs -O ^has_journal /dev/sdXY           to turn journalling off, make a backup before
llutz: but i'm supposed to unmount the boot drive first. And how can i run a live on a VM guest?
Laedn: just use the iso as boot-device
hi
llutz: sounds neart
s/neart/neat
Laedn, same answer. livecd
I mounted an ssh server with sshfs to some folder in /media, but my VPS failed which caused the ssh connection to terminate. Now I cannot unmount the sshfs, and also, linux hangs when I even do ls on /media. How do I fix this?
Laedn, of course it being virtual you just pass the virtualization system the iso and it will emulate the drive. so i guess its "virtual live cd"
is there anything like dropbox i can use to enable users across different platforms to synchronize files via my server ?
diverdude, you want to run something internally?
escott: yeah sorry that was pretty obv. I'm a little bit slow today :(
escott, yeah

sledges  wrong channel
apologies for spamming, but it looks appropriate
spam never  is appropriate
why am i always told i need to install java when i knnow it's installed?
i just checked the control panel and it shows it installed.
leftist, probably not in your path
for the sake of FOSS in our hands in the shape of a smartphone?
sledges this is a support channel
therefore spam is never appropriate
leftist, check update-alternatives to see what you have selected for your java,javac
ok escott thanks
btw i run 10.04 lts
apologies, won't do this again
?
for some reason I don't believe you.
just a hunch.
well this was my first time, apparently the last, seeing how it was welcomed/against the rules
sledges, just leave the baggage behind next time  :)
what happened sledges? i love controversy  :D
read up ;)
sledges, thats enough
I suggest those guidelines get read, as they mention bot abuse.

is there no qt3 support in kubuntu 12.10? or why was nethack-qt removed? im devastated, guys!
morgoth, #kubuntu may be more appropriate if you can't find the answer here
phunyguy_work: thanks, ill check there
although i was pretty sure that they all use the same package repository, only with different packages to be installed by the installation media
deb http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ quantal main restricted
morgoth: correct, but most users here are ubuntu, not Kubuntu, and even if the #kubuntu channel is slow, you will probably still get a faster answer there on a kubuntu related question
morgoth: I wasnt saying you were wrong for asking, I was saying this may not be the best place to ask.
morgoth, is qt4 not working for you ?
it seems that i am missing /etc/alternatives/java completely, to my understanding it should be there after i have installed openjdk-7-jre
BluesKaj: it is working, but i figured the nethack-qt package used libqt3-mt, which is no longer available
ok morgoth , I'm not familiar with nethack-qt
<escott>, yes I do
I want to run only fluxbox, with maybe a file manager like nautilus
Phryq, in that case i guess create an Xsession file in /etc/X11
I stand corrected, but BluesKaj, you ARE in the #kubuntu channel, no?
:P
Phryq: 'nautilus' will most likely pull in most of GNOME as a side effect
ok
phunyguy_work, yes I am
morgoth: yes it's been removed because qt 3 has been removed, bugs.debian.org/604363
another one in the #kubuntu channel.
Riddell: then this is the time to get involved, as soon as i manage to build the qt4 version. :S
Riddell: thanks
ok I'm done for now.  I need to ask my question again I think, I can't get Twitter to give me a login screen via online-accounts when behind a proxy.
and come to think of it, Gwibber itself gives me no content even though facebook maps.
I am chatting with you on IRC via the proxy and empathy
I'm running Ubuntu on a powermac g5,
runs good,  anyone think I will have any problems with booting & grub
if I install multiple distro's to my machine ?
so i can connect to my work's Microsoft PPTP VPN , in the graphical interface ( I guess its network manager ).  how can i do this from the command line ?
teratoma: http://askubuntu.com/questions/57339/connect-disconnect-from-vpn-from-the-command-line
how do i re-partition my btrfs  partition(seperate for keeping data only)...in precise
killer, repartition meaning?
teratoma: Use "pptpsetup" to configure the connection and "pon connection-name" to connect.
teratoma: and you want to ask your it-profs why they still use pptp...
ok ......i did n't make it clear enough, i mean i want to resize it ....(shrink it):escott
ChristopherAlan, i realize thats probably not helpful
thanks.  i have no control over the terrible VPN!
killer, then you need to use the btrfs tools to shrink the filesystem first, then you can shrink the partition
it's okay hah
How do I do to automount some usb hdds? To mount them now I do like this:  mount -t ntfs /dev/sdc1 /media/usb0 -o uid=martin
i have installed btrfs-tools but still can't resize it : escott
I've just read about people with problems, so I cast a lure seeing if anyone had some personal insight on it in here,  thanks
escott: yes, but I don't know how to write it correctly there. The mount-command workds
escott: but I want to be able to plug them in after boot also for example
ChristopherAlan, im just not sure how many people here are going to have a ppc system much less have multiple distros on it
I understood it was a long shot
mllie, (a) you need to use blkid to identify the proper UUID
escott: blkid?
mllie, then it will be roughly "UUID /media/usb0 ntfs uid=1000 0 0"
escott: I see
hmmm
iam currently using 12.04 LTS 64 bit
is it worth moving up to 12.10?
escott: something like this? 8AE8FF55E8FF3E4F        /media/usb0     ntfs    uid=martin      0       0
MrELusiveness: Depends on your purposes. If you require stability and support, then probably not. If you want new features, sure. I myself am waiting for 14.04
iam concerned about better operation with wine
escott: in fstab
14.04?
escott: I just need read-access :)
mllie, you shouldn't say "martin" in fstab. it might work but we usually put numbers in fstab
escott: how do I get the uid?
mllie, also consider setting gid, and noexec
mllie, "id"
well sometime in april 2013 support will end for 12.04 i read
MrELusiveness, thats not correct
escott: better like this? 8AE8FF55E8FF3E4F        /media/usb0     ntfs    uid=1000,gid=1000,noexec        0       0
it's FIVE years MrELusiveness
that was froma  public ubuntu blog
mllie: No, more of: UUID=8AE8FF55E8FF3E4F /media/usb0 ntfs-3g user,users,nofail,mode=0777 0 0
ok cool
MrELusiveness, 10.04 is in 2013
now if only the wine packages could get a update :D
theadmin: I don't need write-access and then don't want to install ntfs-3g :)
MrELusiveness, #winehq for their repo
oh then someone must have confused 12.10 with 12.04
yeah i know
mllie: Oh, okay, then: UUID=whatever /media/usb0 ntfs defaults,nofail 0 0
i was in the winehq channle all this last week
I have an internet problem on ubuntu. sometimes it works, sometimes it does not. I dont know why. I am dual boot 12.10 and win7. What should i do?
MrELusiveness, no, 12.10 is 18 months
theadmin: what is nofail?
mllie: The "nofail" is necessary to prevent errors if the device isn't present on bootup, judging by "usb0" I suppose you want that.
axgb123, wifi?
theadmin: correct. And that will be accessable when plugged in then?
being dual boot wont affect your internet connection
mllie: Yeah
yes wifi. ethernet works fine but this is wifi im talking about
theadmin, mllie wants it automounted on boot for "martin" not sure users is going to know who the correct owner is
our house (unfortunatly) is done with wifi
drivers can be the problem
theadmin: is it mounted as martin in this case then?
theadmin, if you set it to 777 that i opens it up. perhaps thats satisfactory to mllie
someone said that something on windows will fix it. i changed that setting and nothing happened.
mllie: Who cares what the owner is if the access is read-only anyway? Won't matter.
yeah alot of the chepa notebooks that came out have not the best wifi installed but ubuntu works with a bunch
and it sometimes  works, sometimes doesn't so that shows that drivers are not the problem
err cheap notebooks
theadmin: well, it does. At least when I did mount with mount-command it was only the owner that did get read-access
also this is a desktop computer and also i tried Wicd and the same problem was the case
mllie: If necessary, though, run "id -u martin" and find the UID, then add "uid=1000" to the options, where 1000 is the number you get
theadmin: shall I do ,ro as well? because rw is default?
mllie: The "ntfs" driver doesn't support read-write access so that does nothing\
mllie, the selected driver doesn't do writes so the ro is redundant but its no harm to add it
but, for some reason, if i reboot into windows then reboot into ubuntu it starts working again. Very strange
mllie, makes your fstab more explicit which is good
really strange escott but i was able to get java to work with firefox and the really odd thing is that i was shown the routine for it on googles dev portal and yet they didnt have anything for chrome of which i use so i used firefox. i'm startinng to have seconnd thhoughts about chrome in general for any os to be honest. but i'm good! Thanks!
a reboot does tend to fix things alone
escott: theadmin: like this? UUID=8AE8FF55E8FF3E4F   /media/usb0     ntfs    defaults,uid=1000,ro,nofail     0       0
mllie: Yeah that looks about right
no, it only works if i boot into windows then reboot into ubuntu. I have tried both and only the first works
mllie: Make sure you *are* id 1000 though with the command I gave (id -u martin)
theadmin: sweet. How do I test it without reboot?
cold boots
theadmin: it is 1000
mllie: Well, to test it you can run "sudo mount -a"
reset alot of stuff
theadmin: first umount /media/usb0?
like total shutdown
mllie: Well, yes
mllie, you can customize till your eyes bleed. im sure that is adequate. i would probably throw gid=1000 and noexec on it
escott: The gid for the "users" group on ubuntu is 1000? That's a weird choice...
but sounds like a driver/hardware issue
Oh wait, ubuntu doesn't have "users"
theadmin: escott well, some errors. I gtg, brb!
but it also does not work with wicd so how can it be drivers
theadmin, no the "martin" group. i don't have a users group
Is there something betterthan virtualbox it seems to be the main cause of freezing and locking up my kubuntu system
either when i boot up it works with both wicd and default network manager, or it works with neither. SO it cant be a drivers problem
ive seen driver that were ment for the hardware not always work right
theadmin, mostly i dont like files that are owned by "joe:root"
what should i try doing. ive tried almost everything but ive always had this same problem
then theres always that chance that the hardware is acting up
escott: That's honestly a weird choice, most distros I know have a "users" group where pretty much every user who can log in gets added. Having separate groups for every user kind of nullifies the purpose of the group permission bit on files in your $HOME
WHAT? card that go bad? no way
but it works almost perfectly on winows 7 when it ius booted into
theadmin, i understand the point of it. just saying i dont have a users group, and AFAIK ubuntu has never by default had one
is it possible to only use a touchscreen with ubuntu?  (like if i select an entry box it will popup with an onscreen keyboard?)
windows works with the hardware diffrently too
its a tplink and it has an atheros chipset
escott: Yeah I know, just rambling, forgot it doesn't, sorry
theadmin, rather it has one but people aren't added to it automatically. its id 100
andygraybeal, yes its possible, the onscreen keyboard is called onboard
its best to go with hardware that share's dev info with open source developers
vivid, how do i configure this?
what should i do? im not expert. ive tried all sorts of crazy things to try and get it to work
hello again Vivid
axgb123: Is ath9k loaded?
what do it do? sudo apt-get install ath9k?
i dont know if it is installed or loaded
or whatever
anyone know if it's possible to convert a single drive system into a software RAID1 ?
axgb123: Eh, no, just check if it's loaded: lsmod | grep ath
andygraybeal, i dont know, you may have to do some research
check to see if the are other drivers to choose from for that hardware
vivid, thank you!
im on ubuntu, and it just happens to be working now, as i said it sometimes does and sometimes does not
ubuntu gives me options for other drivers for my video card for example
axgb123: Sounds sort of random, I dunno. Try updating your system, may be a bug that's fixed in a new release
s/release/package versions/gi
theadmin: ive updated, ive coped with the problem since about 11.10 when i started using ubuntu *A lot*
sometimes it will show a icon at the top of the screen for optional drivers
this is what came out of the terminal :ath9k                 131308  0  mac80211              539908  1 ath9k ath9k_common           14055  1 ath9k ath9k_hw              395218  2 ath9k,ath9k_common ath                    23827  3 ath9k,ath9k_common,ath9k_hw cfg80211              206566  3 ath9k,mac80211,ath
or you can find the link in the system settings
axgb123: Hm, looks good to me... But then again it *is* working now so that's no surprise
did you go 32bit or 64bit with your ubuntu install?
v0lksman, easily
axgb123
i will get onto the irc on my laptop so i can chat while rebooting and whatever
i wonder what brand of hardware is it that the ath9k covers?
im axgb123 but on my laptop as i think the thing requires me to have a new nickname each time.
MrELusiveness: Atheros, as the name suggests.
oh ok wasnt sure
i am "axgb123" but on my laptop. i think the thing requires me to have a new nickname each time.
Easier to guess than say "fglrx"
ive gone over to my laptop as axgb1234
shall i get the internet to not work and do what you say
if its working leave it alone lol
escott: docs?
no, i mean reboot and see if it stops working as it normally does in my experience
v0lksman, just search for "convert to mdadm RAID1"
if you are going to reboot it, try full shut down
ok. thats a good idea
that might be key
i will try that
Hello, is there a little application to download needed dependencies on every ./configure ?
yes. that sounds right to me
i will just try that now
devilirium: nice idea if not =)
windows might be resetting the hardware so a shut down might do the same
man i am really tired...whats up with this uefi stuff..and ubuntu wanting the redhat kernel patches...but even if they get them they will not get the keys
it is shutting down now
is this the end of all linux distros except redhat
georgeph, thats enough
its starting up now
hardly geogeph
MrELusiveness, lets move on please
??
ive started up and it shows the animation for connecting and it shows that for ever
give it time axg1234
wifi can be slow and or picky
and it will show that until i boot into windows then into ubuntu again, i predict
do you ahve a switch ont he notebook that turns on and off the wifi?
it is a desktop pc
ohh
it seems the situation is that it needs to have been a restart from windows to work.
i saw you say laptop before
I DID IT :D
no im chatting on the laptop so i can restart on the desktop without interruptions to the chat
sorry. i compiled nethack for qt4
the laptop is also dual boot and it works 100% perfectly
now i am going to find that guy who ported it, and kill him.
iam going to say it has to do with the hardware and the driver
morgoth: Why do you even need a Qt version, what's wrong with nethack-x11?
the fact you run a dual boot should not mean anything
but how it works has a direct relationship with whether i have just been into windows or not
theadmin: i like the qt version better, and im a man of habits.
* i mean whether it works
hello, i need help at consulting for a crash, but it is about hardware, not software
because of how windows activates stuff at boot up
huevolin1990: There is ##hardware for hardware-specific questions.
oh thanks :P
does winows sort of 'start up' the wireless card and ubuntu not, so do i need a driver that 'starts up' the card properly
*winows
*windows
do you have a different wifi card you could try in that pc? axgb1234
hello guys, does anyone know how to compile vhdl code with ghdl on a ubuntu 64-bit
temp are you trying to design hardware stuff
a few years ago, for some reason i had a 32bit install so i tried an old 32bit wireless card i have. and that did not work. it did the same. now its 64bit
and i think *im not certain* that 32bit is incompatible with 64bit
most of the wifi cards you see in walmart work perfectly
i live in the united kingdom walmart does not exist there
doh lol
Hey everybody, I've got a usb stick with write protect on (no hardware switch) and I'm unable to format it, how should I do to format it?
axgb1234...you are lucky...wallmarket has put many small business here out of business and added to massive unemployment
heh
Lorra: sudo mkfs.vfat /dev/sdb1 # Or something like that.
this wireless card. i think came from totenam court road, when the computer was being built and there was a little panic with the wireless card being forgotten and bought from there
i dont live in the us so i dont realy know about walmart. all i know is that it is a shop
georgeph: well not really, for now,I'm trying to test some of the vhdl code I have seen in a book I'm reading; I intead working on something hardware later though.
axgb1234 my thought was if you could a newer card 3com or something else as in a brand
err diffrent brand
axgb1234...well they are big and have monopsony power...and have wiped out many small businesses that could not compete with their low prices
theadmin: done already, says it can't open the device 'cause it's read-only
Lorra: Oh, so it's hardware-protected... um... I dunno honestly if there's no switch
georgeph: any guidance?
is the only option you think will work to buy a new one? the problem was that the card only works if i restarted from windows into ubuntu
axgd1234 if it keeps giving you problems then a new card might be the better choice
i would rather not get a new one
would that definitely solve it
can you give me a link to one on amazon uk which will definitely work
if you were to get a new card i would say that your chances of support by both os's would be better and not only that, but you wouldnt have to worry about a old card going bad
theres always that chance
when the card was bought, no concideration was put into linux
linux was later
thats why its a good idea to research before buying
so should i research then buy another
does anyone know a workaround for installer crashes? i filed a bug but it looks like a lot of them get ignored
google it is for free
:D
i would
because it says on a ubuntu database that my model of card works perfectly
compare to what the support list says for ubuntu
windows will alway cover more but checking with the support info for ubuntu you cant go wrong
i really want to get this system installed
Hello, I'm trying to install ubuntu 12.04 on my brand new setup with SSD but I noticed that the unpacking (DPKG) takes ages to be completed. On my mechanical hard disk the setup is completed in 20 minutes, on the SSD it takes more than 2hours. I configured the discard,noatime in /etc/fstab (ext4 filesystem). Anyone an idea?
slow ssd? dabas
theres a lot of cheap SSD's out there
MrELusiveness: I did not bought the fasted ssd, but compared 2hours compared to a 20 minutes is to much
go to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HardwareSupportComponentsWirelessNetworkCardsTP-Link and do ctrl + f and type TL-WN951N
well its buyer beware
DaBas, have you tried without "discard"
try that and as you will see it says that it works and is tested (but only with some old versions
sounds limited
escott: Yes, when it is installed vanilla, I excecuted the command sudo fstime / -v and i set the discard,noatim in /Etc/fstab
do you think switching to 12.04 will fix it?
what do you mean sounds limited
I'm on 12.04 if I do an apt-get dist-upgrade will that bring me to 12.10?
if it only works with some older versions
go check it
exit
well if you looked it up you should know
i think its the version of ubiquity on 12.10 that's giving me problems
surely they wont make the drivers worse in the new version
datruth, dist-upgrade does NOT change versions
MrELusiveness: yesterday I installed fedora 17 on the desktop and the ssd is working pretty fast (faster the mechanical) It's like that dpkg is taken to much tme
it says TL-WN951N  Atheros  ath9k  ?  Yes  Yes. Tested on Ubuntu 9.04, 9.10, 10.04  IEEE 802.11n does not work with 11.04. High Packet loss. Works fine in Wireless G. I believe this is a kernel/driver issue  2011-07-25
Ok then
DaBas is that SSD listed in the supported hardware?
MrELusiveness: will check is immediately
DaBas, and it was also slow without discard?
dabas is the SSD manufactured by OCZ and does it contain a sandforce controller
axgb1234 it looks like you could do better with a diffrent card then
how do i troubleshoot installer crashes?
anyone?
where does VLC save bookmarks, if it does?
axgb1234: No is doesn't change a thing ...
shall i do that
YES
get a new card and solve your headache
DaBas, i would certainly disable discard, and then i would check your alignment and blocksize
DaBas OCZ SSD drives have a very bad reputation for failing and working badly. My brother put his university coursework on an OCZ drive and lost a load of ti
where does VLC save bookmarks, if it does?
anyway i will get a new card which is definitely compatible
axgb1234: I bought the crucial v4 3GB/s 128GB
DaBas yeah SSD drives are no where near replacing a regular harddrive just yet
ssds have a greater fail rate than hdds in some cases
even usb sticks do to
er too
please guys, I'm still waiting. Does anyone have any information on compiling vhdl codes using ghdl on ubuntu 64 bit. The code looks OK; a basic hello World Program but it does not compile
no, its not a sandforce chipset and it is not OCZ so i dont know
ciao
theadmin: [240047.064814] NTFS-fs error (device sdc1): parse_options(): Unrecognized mount option nofail.
uabn93: MrELusiveness: Yep but why is Fedora running like a train and ubuntu as a turtle
DaBas, I have 4 OCZ drives. The only problem they have is when the PC sleeps or hibernates. They have released firmware updates for that, but these days I just dont use them in PCs that sleep to be safe
probly difffrent driver
mllie: Hm, must be specific to some UNIX filesystems. Okay, remove that then
I can't seem to install python-pyopencl, http://codepad.org/R4dhmmAE
compdoc: Do I need to make attention how to partition the drive ? I have 16GB ram but specifies 4GB of swap in the beginning of the driver, rest is / for data
fedora being redhat and ubuntu being debian two diffrent linux distros for sure
theadmin: what will happen if I try to access /media/usb0 if the disk is removed?
DaBas what ver of ubuntu?
guess ill come back later
12.04 and 12.10
but I prefer 12.04
both?
did you do a fresh install of 12.04?
DaBas, if you allow the OS or gparted to partition, it will be correct. As long as its a current OS. I think Ubuntu 11.10 on up, or windows 7 on up
mllie: Well, you'll get an empty folder, but you'll also get a warning on bootup, shouldn't be a big deal, just minor annoyance
DaBas ive always thought that a fresh install is better than a upgrade
hello punx
MrELusiveness: yes it is fresh installed
both versions
theadmin: I see!
DaBas, be sure to update the ssd drive's fireware
firmware
hello my fello linux fellows
well DaBas if you are not sure about the make and what controller this ssd has then that could be a problem
I've got gparted installed and running now on 12.04, curious what the /dev/sda2 and /dev/sda5 partitions are for (There's about 4GB for each)
knowing what your hardware is can be important
compdoc: I think they didn't release a firmware upgrade for this SSD ...
all OCZ drives have them, as far as I know
is there a model # ont he drive?
MrELusiveness: Will check it
k
how can I cut a file to the last 10 lines? outputting tail back to the same file empties the file. can I do this without copying to another file first?
On Quantal, I can't install python-pyopencl.  apt-get complains that "opencl-icd" is uninstallable: <http://codepad.org/R4dhmmAE>.  How do I get opencl-icd?  Or how do I get past that to be able to have a working python-pyopencl?
theadmin: well, now when first booting and then insert the hdd. /media/usb0 is still empty?
mllie: Oh that's odd.
man, i really wished we could move the unity launcher to the bottom of the screen. i always like it on the left, but now that i have 2 monitors its pretty annoying.
MrELusiveness: On the top of the drive there is no label, but this is the site: http://www.crucial.com/store/partspecs.aspx?imodule=CT128V4SSD2
mllie: What does "sudo mount /media/usb0" report?
nothing on the drive its self?
nothing stamped or printed?
theadmin: now it reads correctly
theadmin: I got two disks. The other one's folder is still empty tho
DaBas if there is nothing to identify the drive on the outside, it could be anything.
you could see how fedora see it as far as what the device name or driver its using
How do I enable pdo_pgsql to work with Apache2 and PHP5?
Maybe at the bottom of the drive, but it is currently mounted with screws in the bottom of the case  (antec case) ...
I don't quite understand why just installing it isn't enough either.
DaBas figuring out what that drive is will help
theadmin: any idea?
Ok I will give it a try this evening
can anyone help me with upgrading from 12.04 to 12.10? I'm getting a held dependency error but there are no broken packages when I scan with synaptic.
mllie: Not really :(
MrELusiveness: thx for help already
np
compdoc: Thx for help already
good luck
anyone using ubuntu with openvpn connection?
escott: maybe you have any idea?
if you have a flash drive that has a hardware write protect enabled with out a switch to turn it off then i think you should hit it very hard with a hammer
.
hello.  are there any EGL libs for ubuntu 10.04
please do
hello i was wondering if there is a way to move the dock to the bottom in ubuntu 12.10 64bit?
please don't start with ubuntu 10.04 is no longer supported.  i know this already.  i just want to know if there are any EGL libs for ubuntu 10.04
i just upgraded to 12.10 and using cinnamon desktop and i can't lock my screen
there is a menu item that says lock screen and clicking it does nothing
also it is syupposed to lock when the screen is turned off from being idle, but it wakes up without prompting for a password
12.10 from what i understand is not 100% stable correct me if iam wrong
peepsalot: cinnamon isn't supported here, try the mint channel
is there any way to get back the compiz burn effect in 12.10?
What's mint?
he probly ment linux mint distro
Is it fresh?
So it's the same as Ubuntu+
?
Do the ops run mint? Or Ubuntu?
its just another distro no its not unbuntu
gustav__, no, it is an old gnome2 fork. but gnome is dead.
I need to connect to a second computer. Nothing works.. Hel!
OerHeks, it's not dead when people maintain it.
OerHeks, it's just that the original people don't support it.
It is connected with a second ethernet card
hi
john__: connect both pc to a switch and then use openssh
The first car is fine I am getting no throughput throght the second I installed today
quick question. anyone know if there is a package i can install for additional webcam drivers that dont come in the release itself?
utu-san, I can swich between both with a swith
webnet umm generic ones perhaps?
john__ : ifconfig ?
utu-san, I have belkin swich which swiches keyboard, mouse, screen and sound from one machine to the other with  press of a button
MrELusiveness possibly? im not really sure my Acer aspire webcam hasnt worked since 10.10 but i never really needed it until now since i installed skype. it used to though so im assuming a package was removed that enabled it
john__: I'm talking about as network switch, like a router
webnet the best you can do is see if its listed in suported hardware
utu-san, it is a unshielede twisted pair
utu-san, shouldn't need a router
sometimes a alternate or generic drive can work
er driver
webnet is this a standalone cam or a notebook cam?
MrELusiveness i looked for it. my model isnt shown as supported, but the actual hardware webcam is the same as the  AspireOne netbook which IS supported. perhaps i have a hardware error and not a software one :/
its a notebook cma
*cam
yeah when it comes to notebooks, it can be a pain
you would have better luck with a universal usb one
i fugured as much
i bought one for my desktop. guess ill just have to transfer it back and forth. lol
but looking up hard supprt of the notebook might bring you more info
utu-san, syour comment?
my insipre dell notebook reciently got support for its built in wifi now it rocks
utu-san, a web page, something?
utu-san, I have been trying all day and I am still nowhere..
acer stuff always scares me
I've been impressed with the quality of their hardware over recent years.  Also, their customer service is amazing.
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Convert_a_single_drive_system_to_RAID
specialy if it says acer on the notebook anywhere :D
following that to convert a system.  Lost at the Grub2 part
do I need to do anything?
insmod mdraid
I thought grub2 was pretty automagic
Dude its a dell   yeah that sounds better
heh
I always seem to get some terminal output when I log out. Any way to prevent that and just show  the dots?
or Dude its a Asus
I just got a free Core I7, with an ASUS mother board, and 3 gigs of RAM. I'm so happy
that is cool
cant beat free
MrELusiveness: A customer of ours asked us to recycle the machine cause they didn't want to spend the money to replace the graphics card
LOL
how do i hide the dock? ubuntu 12.10 64bit
i would be like THANK YOU
please come again
lets get back on topic Please
_Bier: in the Apearance settings you can set it to hide
yeah auto hide, but not completely gone?
_Bier: right click on the background and select to change background, then select the 'behavior' tab
any grub2 love on adding raid support?
dtigue: but that only says auto hide, i mean really hide?
_Bier: from there you just need to turn on auto hide
or is that impossible
Vivid I am wondering if the porblems ive been having with ubuntu and wine isnt something that just related to the game i was trying to run. I dont tink my ubuntu install is corrupted or loaded up. is there way to check the health of a ubuntu install?
what do you mean "really" hide?\
i can put it on really low and that works
MrELusiveness, checked the appdb?
yeah
_Bier: yea also my wife sets the reveal location to the top left hand corner
they are behind on patches
http://appdb.winehq.org MrELusiveness
i know that
help in #winehq MrELusiveness
what i need to knwo is if there is a way to check the health of a current ubuntu install
no not help with wine
help with ubuntu
Music is refusing to play on every single player I try, it just sticks at 0:00
do you have all cdecs installed that are needed?
codecs
TommehM: what kind of music file are you trying to play, and have you installed the codecs to play it ?
I have tried .mp3 and .flac
I used to be able to play them.
on ubuntu software center TommehM try installing ubuntu restricted extras
Okay.
TommehM: I bet you need the codecs installed. Try running 'sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras'
or search for codec on there
its comes up either way
MrELusiveness yeah i hear you on Acer stuff. haha i only bought mine cause the price was right $200 because it was a display case model. :D behind glass its whole like but no packaging / manual or win7 recovery CD so i was like cant pass tht up :D
right
:)
TommehM: I'm not sure but you may also need to install non-free-codecs, in a terminal try 'sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras non-free-codecs'
im really considering one of those System76 Machines Next
they look super nice :D
webnet: System76 has some beautiful machines
so expensive tho dtigue :X
xeoma wont load
hi, i send 2 printers job, it delayed 10 seconds to start to print each sheet
TOmmehM  the ubuntu restricted extras is what I use
webnet: unfortunately so, but at least you will be supporting the cause
i notice cupsdSetBusyState: newbusy="Printing jobs and dirty files", busy="Printing jobs and dirty files"
thats for sure dtigue thats the other reason i like them :)
webnet: i work for a computer company so I just always build my own machines out of the inventory room
everything iam using is free
like it should be
anyone knows what happend ?
dtigue lucky :D
MrELusiveness, dtigue, Installing "Ubuntu Restricted Extras" has worked, thanks! :>
webnet: if i were to buy a prebuilt machine i would go with system76 more than likely
TommehM: glad you got it working
bazhang sorry
np TommehM
works great on 64bit 12.04 sofar
PowerTux: what is exactly the problem? that its taking awhile to print?
anyoenhad fun with a ubuntu studio os install yet?
dtigue: its too slow, before that it was mandriva and its fast normal...
angela: hi
Holaaaa
PowerTux: what drivers are you using and how is it connected to the machine ?
PowerTux is your printer listed as supported?
dtigue & webnet: I've inherited an older (original generation) System76 Lemur from my sister . . . at this point if I ever buy another laptop it's almost definitely going to be one of theirs. Even without the painted ubuntu key it's beautiful :)
nobody speak spanish??
dtigue: hplip/usb
So stupid wubi question. I am running 12.10 on wubi with Windows 8, I am trying to get extended attributes on /.
PowerTux: and what make/model of printer
anyone know how to block a range of ip addresses with ufw
MrELusiveness: i was using mandriva...
si wubi a emu?
bkfitz: http://www.guyrutenberg.com/2009/11/07/blocking-ip-range-using-ufw/
yeah you gotta man up and use ubuntu but make sure the printer is listed as suported hardware
wubi is just a way to use windows bootloader and load a file on ntfs partition as a loop device
dtigue: i have 2 models: HP LaserJet 1020, hpcups 3.12.2 and HP LaserJet Professional p1102w, hpcups 3.12.2
if you end up using a generic usb driver then your chances of high performance is lowered
dtigue: it was working well on Mandriva 2009...
dtigue: the same printers and machine...
but thats a different distro and might have been a different driver
PowerTux: but was it the same driver?
PowerTux: are you using PostScript drivers, PCL5? or what
dtigue: hum, i dont remember, but i tried with the foomatics too and the same...
guys, quick question here. just installed 12.10 not five minutes ago. went to reddit in firefox and there was a prompt that i quickly clicked. now I have a reddit icon on the side and looks like it's also connected to the mail thing up top. how can i get rid of that?
dtigue: PPD file...
ubuntu is pretty good with support on most usb devices but if it isnt listed as suported, well you know....
what model is the printer Powertux?
i need a model #
PowerTux: I would try removing the setup you got now and try setting it up using the PCL5 drivers, also see what the "recommended" driver is when installing it
MrELusiveness:  i have 2 models: HP LaserJet 1020, hpcups 3.12.2 and HP LaserJet Professional p1102w, hpcups 3.12.2
so its a hp 1020 then?
ill look it up
one of them is
wich one is it you ened to wkring right?
PowerTux: Via the Ubuntu mailing-lists someone reported a very similar problem. Eventually they were pointed to this forums solution http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1721595
dtigue: so this will allow from what range of ip addreses: sudo ufw allow from 192.168.1.0/24 - 192.168.1.0 to 192.168.1.24?
dtigue: what if I want to ban 192.168.0.0 to 192.168.255.255
bkfitz: no, that should allow basically 192.168.1.*
Powertux those model #'s apear to be form some older printers
er from
MrELusiveness, they are not behind on patches.  wine is released every two weeks.  wait until the next release
arthur_: you still there ?
keithzg: what is the 24?
arthur_: try in the terminal 'sudo apt-get remove unity-webapps-reddit'
yep, still here
arthur_: ^^ did you try my previous message
dtigue: will try that, right now the terminal is doing it's thing for wine
iam not seeing drivers pop right up for those printers Powertux
arthur_: you can open a tab in the terminal
arthur_: unless its installing something using apt
MrELusiveness: have foomatics and hplip etc
Vivid i was talking about the current patch of ddo and how the app data base has no info on it yet
dtigue: yup, still installing wine
and i don't have that good a conneciton
MrELusiveness, the appdb relies on users to submit data.  ddo is not an extremely popular game, thus its likely nobody has played/submitted information
however, you can submit test data if you like
PowerTux yeah it maybe that you are using well ending up with a diffrent drive other than what would run it better
bkfitz: 192.168.1.0/24  = network 192.168.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0
only if they dont stop support of them or go to limited
bkfitz: its cidr-notation, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classless_Inter-Domain_Routing
OO
i will try PCL5 drivers dtigue, thanks a lot
Excuse me Divid???? not popular???  dont be so sure. more peoiple are running it via windows who dont know better :D but anyhow back to ubuntu
llutz: thx
How do I see if the memory is used by cache or if it actually is used`?
my hp j4540 is supported on ubuntu 12.04 LTS no problem
bkfitz: 192.168.0.0 to 192.168.255.255 would be 192.168.0.0/16
and its a all in one printer
llutz: even more helpful .  thx!

Vivid is there a way to test the health of my ubuntu install?
MrELusiveness, not that i know of....is it doing strange things?
well while i'm waiting on this wine install, is the linux steam client still acting up?
arthur_, working as well as any beta ive ever tested...
no just was wondering because i dont think i have it loaded up with junk at all
yay samba working and xchat-indicator now to reinstall EVERYTHING hahahahaha!!!!
i mean, does it still not allow anyone to log back in?
what do you run Vivid for your distro?
arthur_, its a closed beta, if you dont have access it wont allow you to log in
llutz: reason I ask is because I'm getting a lot of DOS and other attacks from the Ukraine... so I'm thinking of blocking the entire 31.133 range
arthur_, or you could search around the internet and maybe find a way around that...
bkfitz: good luck
i sgned up with valve software for a job
since i live near them
vivid: yeah, there is. but yesterday looks like there was an update and even the beta participants can't log back in... or something
i signed up with mcdonalds for a job because i live near them
they are bring stuff to ubuntu
arthur_, im logged in right now.
MrELusiveness: "debsums" is used to detect installed package corruption
Has Java ever been fixed by Oracle?
vivid: can't even getto the login screen on my end. oh well...
ok how is it implemented TJ-?
arthur_, well, it is beta and the games available work quite well in wine
MrELusiveness, did you get hired?
just applied today invariant
llutz:  sudo ufw deny from 31.133.0.0/16 game me: ERROR: problem running
MrELusiveness: It  compares the MD5 sums of the installed files against those listed in the package manifest
wubi
whoops sorry
replace the 0.0. with *
hello all! Could you help me figure this out.I want to install ubuntu and I have a specific setup http://pastebin.com/w8a2FQ3a
llutz: got it user error
Wethepeople what is the outcome your trying to get?
dtigue: hey! the "sudo apt-get remove unity-webapps-reddit" command worked! thanks!
it seems gnome 3.6 makes a "click" sound on login. Any way to change this?
ok ok TJ- yeah i was wondering about source stuff thats been installed if perices had been left behind
bkfitz: sry i don't know anything about ufw
MrELusiveness, for what did you apply?
webnet_, i would like to know how many .edu sites are on the net
On Quantal, I can't install python-pyopencl.  apt-get complains that "opencl-icd" is uninstallable: <http://codepad.org/R4dhmmAE>.  How do I get opencl-icd?  Or how do I get past that to be able to have a working python-pyopencl?
vivid: here's hoping that I can get tf2 to work properly. been tackling random crashes for a week now.
thanks againguys for the help!
webnet_, by scraping the url of the .edu site
arthur_, make sure your drivers and wine installation are up to date and launch the game with -dxlevel 81
invariant level design and of course ubuntu and opensource development and etsting
err testing
will do.thanks again!
arthur_, to be fair, the game also crashes on windows
webnet_, some people mention curl and php
MrELusiveness, do you do level design with open-source tools?
MrELusiveness, or just their game modding tools?
Hmm wethepeople. So you are trying to make a list or just enumerate them? By the way there are alot and if you intend to find all of them it will likely take quite a long time and alot of processing power
had  some years with game map development and server installs and stuff
3d editors
webnet_, i have those capabilities, just know know of any native running program that can do this
exarkun: bug 1048036 (which is a consequence of bug 763457) though I thought this was worked around before release of quantal, but perhaps not
webnet_, making a list
Oh yeah php could do it. But you would need apache and php on your machine to run the script
Give me a minute i think i actually remember something thats able to do that hold on
but i want in at ground lvl of the whole ubuntu/linux porting
webnet_, i dont know php do you know of a program that can do this on linux?
trism: :(
iam excited

its about ubuntu

Is there a way to make those top right corner notification popups appear on every screen when using more than one moniter?
well i comented on something at was mentioned here and someone asked me a question .. sorry
MrELusiveness, I have asked you to remain on topic several times now. take chit chat to #ubuntu-offtopic
Php can run on anything with the php server installed. Linux exclusivly id imagin a bash script could easily do it. But like i said hold on because i think i know of a software toolkit that could do if. I just dont remember the name
WeThePeople: I suggest you email edcause, the registrar for .edu, they'll be able to tell you how many primary registrations there are
tj-, did that, they have a contractwith the Department of such and such that prohibits that.
WeThePeople: OK, that's a pain. Wikipedia may be more help for you then, in part it says "...more than 7,000 but less than 8,000 names registered at any given time..."
tj-, yeah cool, i would like to know the names as well
I don't see how this has anything to do with Ubuntu.
pici, yeah offtopic sry
pls pm me if anybody would like to talk to me
webnet_, pls PM me instead
hey guys. i have a weird situation with 12.04 and unity. the firefox icon in the launcher will force itself to the front every time i click a window. and i noticed the small dots to the left of the launcher icon that show how many app windows i have change from white to light blue.
has anyone else seen this?
I think blue dot's indicate how many browsers you have open
blue meaning active?
i could be wrong though
the blue arrows generally mean there's a message or some notification
HeavyWater: So I have 2 terminal windows open. I have two white dots to the left of the icon.
well firefox keeps forcing itself to the front.
this is FF 16.0.2
WeThePeople i cant find what i was thinnking of
webnet_, ok thankyou for the assitsance
WeThePeople but i think a bash script would do it. its just very impractical to do it like this. youd have to start with 3 characters and randomly go throught every combonation of letters and numbers and onces every combonation has been made add another character so 4 characters and randomly do a ping to each if itt gets a response then pipe it into a list file. but this would take a very very very long time
WeThePeople if you dont mind my asking why are you doing this. there may be a better way
webnet_, may i pm you
WeThePeople go for it
question
how do i close the defualt luancher menu in ubuntu 12
TheArc under desktop settings you can have it auto hide
i mean close it... i have another launcher
i think thats what it was

tnx:D
paste.ubuntu.com/1373294/
why would I get a seg fault when trying to grub-install /dev/md0
?
gustav__: someone is sniffing your ssh connection, you need to decide how worried to be
almoxarife: How?
almoxarife: you mean probing.
Pici: that too
How can they sniff? O_O
gustav__: they can't.
gustav__: I wouldn't worry about it.  You may want to install something like fail2ban though.
how do i get into grub menu if it doesnt show up itself?
Pici: they cant what?
Pici: Will that work with ufw? Can't ufw ban automatically? But, they're kinda already banned though... with ufw.
erle-, hold shift @ boot
almoxarife: sniffing means that someone is intercepting information being sent/recieved over port 22.
thx
_r00t_, I think it is solved now.
_r00t_, checking...
Should I go to the Police?
Frequenty my sound doesn't work and a restart of pulseaudio doesn't fix it. Can someone tell me a place to look? (nothing in syslog)
gustav__: fail2ban works by examining system logs rather than the connections themselves.  It temporarily bans people why fail to login to ssh after a small number of tries (like 5)
Pici: you call it probe, i call it sniff, so do others, http://lifehacker.com/5853483/a-guide-to-sniffing-out-passwords-and-cookies-and-how-to-protect-yourself-against-it , thnks
almoxarife: Either you or I misunderstand what gustav__ was describing.
invariant: installed correctly now in lfs ?
gustav__: what would the police do if the probe/sniff is coming from the other side of the world?
gustav__: The police?  I doubt its targeting towards you specifically.
_r00t_, lfs?
Pici: I am seeming attempts against my host.
_r00t_, I am not using lfs. This is just a dependency specification problem.
gustav__: so does every other computer connected to the internet.
_r00t_, it's a bug in Ubuntu.
Pici: That doesn't make it less specific.
The Police are not in charge my individual safety, either.
Who is, in this case, then?
You're clearly not helping.
invariant: nope.... how did you install it in the first place ?
gustav__: ufw does allow you to pick what ips connect to port 22 and which do not, so, decide which can, the rest wont connect
_r00t_, yes, because I was using the version of php suitable for some preforking version of Apache.
gustav__: Excuse me? You're free to do whatever you want about this. I'm just telling you that failed ssh logins from random addresses is by no means an indication that someone is targetting you.  Infected hosts do these sorts of things all the time.  If you want to report it to someone, the honeypot project that the internet storm center has things that will allow you to report troublesome IPs
invariant: so you didn't install php5-pgsql
_r00t_, it should simply make it impossible to configure it wrong.
_r00t_, I did install that.
gustav__: this is not a public safety forum or help line, if your fear something then call the police
* v0lksman shakes head
So many different IPs but the same MAC.
invariant: your distro and php version
_r00t_, precise and whatever php is distributed with precise.

centran: no drivers avilable from canon
_r00t_, I had libapache2-mod-php5 installed.
00:24:17:6e:28:9e:08:00 <- Bad boy.
invariant: if you did any pear or phpize magic then I'm sure you've screwed it :)
gustav__: that doesn't appear valid
_r00t_, I did nothing like that.
cdavis: Why?
it worked just fine for a while but some of the updates to ubuntu must have broken something
now its impossible to get it to print
very frustrating
invariant: awww man my bad..... sorry about that
gustav__: HWaddress is usually 12 hex characters
using xfce with ubuntu studio, what do i use to burn an iso image?
_r00t_, do you maintain php?
invariant: nope I'm a noob .... just trying to help
ubuntu__: k3b - best choice IMHO
?
_r00t_???
kb3 kk thank you
anyone know anything about getting this damn canon printer to work?
OptiWork: LOL :)
gustav__: paste whatever you are looking at into pastebin and I will look at it
_r00t_: WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?!?!
* OptiWork misses his buddy :/
OptiWork: looking for answers and a new desktop .... came here and ended up digging my own grave with php
cdavis: http://pastebin.com/6XP2niGC
lol
_r00t_: shaf you have to come back to the community we miss ya
* _r00t_ hugs opticlove 
centran: you have both lightdm and kdm installed? and they are both crashing
_r00t_: at least pop on mumble from time to time
ewwww hugs OptiWork instead
ew ra mag
OptiWork: Will do this week
_r00t_: cool
Anyone having experience with headset/microphone on Ubuntu? When I test mine in skype, I can see in gnone-soundoptions it automatically turns up the volume, resulting in poor quality :/ Anyone tryed this?
OptiWork: I have a new windows machine ! LOL
_r00t_: Win8?
How can I set a folder to have certain permissions regardless of who created the files in it (I want 777)?
_r00t_: WinRAR?
almoxarife I believe they switched to lightdm correct so I should uninstall kdm
gustav__: are you sure that isn't your mac address?
Pici, gustav__ It is his routers MAC
centran: you are running kde, yes?
Pici: A part is.
yes
OptiWork: Yep .... you know me windows on the outside,,, linux core inside LOL
cdavis: that makes more sense.
centran: purge both lightdm and kdm, re-install kdm
Windows support KDE

OptiWork: what you running these days ? I'm still with 11.04 with no where to turn to :(
I have an issue when I attempted to upgrade from 12.04 to 12.10. After reboot during upgrade, upgrade hung during a low-res black with yellow loading dots screen. I rebooted, and get either standard purple loading screen followed by a terminal or the black with yellow dots screen.
_r00t_: I know ;)  ubuntu 12.04 atm on my work desktop and laptop, Arch on the home box.
centran: in terminal, sudo apt-get purge lightdm kdm && sudo apt-get install kdm
OptiWork: Yeah I want 12.04 but dont know what desktop to go for... So thought I'd ask here
_r00t_: use Unity
_r00t_: http://screencloud.net/v/k6rG
someone please help. I am trying to install intel graphics drivers on knoppix using these drivers http://daily.siebler.eu/2012/06/ubuntu-12-04-driver-for-intel-cedarview-atom-n2000-und-d2000-serie/ but i can't even get apt-get to update from that repository
maxiaojun: a hundred kittys just died when you said that :(
Unity isn't too bad when you get the hang of it
Greek-Boy: This is Ubuntu support, not knoppix.
but I do still like my xfce as well
isn't knoppix a live CD?  don't tell me you're trying to run it as a desktop
_r00t_: people asking which is best generally unhappy with any of them
Greek-Boy: you can check the /etc/apt/sources.list and see if you can add it, but really knoppix is a live environment, not meant for everyday use.
OptiWork: you can install Knoppix to a HD and use it like any other distribution
* OptiWork has now handed out his advice for the day.
invariant: you still hanging in there ?
Unity is about as efficient as Tiles.
It still doesn't have anything to do with Ubuntu.
_r00t_, yes
take the knopix chat to ???
That I agree with
_r00t_, you can see by the fact that your tab completion works :)
Possibly #knoppix
How do i get to know who is copying what from me in /var/log/samba/ using samba logs .
_r00t_, in fact, the problem has not been solved :/
I have an issue when I attempted to upgrade from 12.04 to 12.10. After reboot during upgrade, upgrade hung during a low-res black with yellow loading dots screen. I rebooted, and get either standard purple loading screen followed by a terminal or the black with yellow dots screen.
Hi.  This is my third harddrive and my third time running completely fresh install of ubuntu with next to no extras.  First 12.04 and then 12.10 both server editions.  Each time, within a few days I get hit with a Filystem read only error and it stops working.  Why?  Is there anyway to fix this?
Any ideas?
samba logs just gives me who is visiting which of my shared directories but can't tell who is copying what from me, is there any way to get this from samba logs
?
OptiWork: Still hanging with this :( http://screencloud.net/v/EJmm
Clair, i think your Drive Controller on your device is going bad..
pranavk: Wireshark.
Clair: maybe other issue, hard drive controller or motherboard or ram?
gustav__: so means , samba logs are not enough to tell me this ?
I've done multiple system scans and have come up with no issues
pranavk: Stare at them for an hour, if that doesn't help: Wireshark.
Clair: memtest?
_r00t_: you need a change :)
gustav__: okay, thanks
_root_: have you contacted with GNOME upstream?
Memtest, DFT, Seagate Tools, built in motherboard health check, the whole lot of scans, all come back clean
blackness, drive controller meaning what? the chipset that controls the sata interfaces?
memtest wont test a drive, or the motherboard..and i dont see how memory can cause a drive to fail..clair is this I/O errors?
invariant: dpkg -l | grep php5 ..... let's see what you've got and you're sure that /etc/php5/apache2/conf.d ini files reference the correct shared objects
katsune, yes, that could be shorted out.
OptiWork: tell me about it :/ But it works and works very well .... unfortunately dated
IF the motherboard isnt mounted properly that can cause failure..as in not screwed down all the way..or a footer in the wrong place.
then it's a  motheboard problem,
I would say get some drive diagnostic tool to see if all drive sector is still consistent
which there is no software to test it..best suggestion is, install the drives in another machine and see if they fail there awell.
I believe seagate has a free one and can be use in other brand of drives
Put it on USB and use Wireshark.
_root_: if you ever contacted GNOME upstream, you should notice that Unity already blocked some arbitrary breakage from GNOME
_r00t_, http://paste.kde.org/611564/
katsune, Clair shouldnt test hardware if they suspect mboard failure.
for example this one: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=684210
blackness, why not? i think it's not bad to run diagnostic tools,.
The motherboard is mounted properly, I checked all the hardware, and the bios has a utility to test it's self for issues and I ran that as well.  The system works absolutely fine for days with no signs of failure then it will just shoot this error and stop.  Is it related to this?
if the motherboard is faulting, the software will fault for the drive test..
sorry about that I had a link queued up for the end.  There was a bug report about this
invariant: I had problems with filter and used libapache2-mod-php5
Clair, have you tested these drives in another machine?
How can I detect an illegal entry on Apache 2?
gustav__, Illegal entry?
I do not have a machine to test them in.  They were 3 brandnew just shipped drives though and they all fail the same way.  I cant believe it is the drives
How can I set a folder to have certain permissions regardless of who created the files in it (I want 777)?
Are the lot numbers on the drive matching Clair ?
blackness: Foreign code executed on my machine, for instance.
Maybe I can filter for binary data some way... HTTP requests aren't supposed to contain that.
uhm, i dont know of a way..other then to increase the debug log and check for "suspect" POST or GET's
Clair, how about installing another distro not related to ubuntu?
But I don't know how to filter.
the drives are from three diffrent companies, seagate, hatachi and western digital
blackness: I'd have to make Apache 2 instruct ufw to block those associated IPs, too.
invariant: I'm using this ppa for the latest version of php https://launchpad.net/~ondrej/+archive/php5 (5.4 instead of the default 5.3)
can anyone please help me with my canon printer issues
_r00t_, does that also have the pg modules that I need?
i am going to dropkick this damn printer
invariant: yes
But blocking IPs is ot always good... many things are on EC2/cloud and you don't want to block ok IPs... if they become ok.
"not"
the server is up and running fine now, but it will happen again
_r00t_, I thought 12.04 was supposed to be a stable version. What's the point if something as fundamental as a database doesn't work?
invariant: but I wound seriously post your pgsql.ini first
Clair: size of drives and are you using MBR?
_r00t_, it's the default.
_r00t_, I modified nothing about it.
One server could have captcha, when ok, enable allow for that IP address. That would make it safe.
At least for automated attacks.
IPs should be associated with a street address. That would be most good.
invariant: and it has the correct zend_extension =
gustav__, if you're worried about intruders, just setup sshguard.
gustav__: you're straying offtopic again.  If you're looking for best-practice ideas for your network, this isn't the place to ask about them.
path
it will block anyone who hammers your ports gustav__
Pici: What's the topic?
_r00t_, I haven't modified anything except for php5.ini where I added extension=pdo_pgsql.so (or something like that)
sshguard is beatable....
gustav__: Ubuntu Tech Support.
blackness: The port is not open.
then i wouldnt worry about it.
Pici: How would you categories my issue?
categorize
j #edubuntu
aezx, ive never had someone beat my sshguard, then again i only allow like 8 ranges incoming on ssh
gustav__: your fireawall issues are not on topic!
almoxarife: I am running Ubuntu. And isn't this support?
blackness, i doubt you have anything worth coming after, nobody wants botnets of ubuntu machines
gustav__: Network Paranoia.  But seriously, you've been given a few options, but you seem to think that even with the solutions that Ubuntu has that you're in danger of being hacked.  I don't think that constitutes a support topic.
gustav__: your personal take on security is not on topic
Ok new question.  How do I stop ubuntu from remounting root read-only on FS errors?
Stop with the ad hominem. Yeesh.
Does anybody know something about ICC Profiles? I'd like to know where to get an appropriate ICC Profile for my Toshiba netbook (12.04 LTS). My current color scheme is pale and not vivid at all, since I don't use any ICC Profile.
aezx, everyone needs scanner hosts, and cable lines are PERFECT for that. and aezx. i run a hackable OpenVZ container, and i just had someone root that just the other night..i ended up stealing 4MB of their scripts, code, binaries and all that to report.
gustav__: and your endless blather is getting really old, take it somewhere where you can get an audience
invariant: hold up
didnt read
Clair, you dont.
or change the settings in fstab
There is no way what so ever?
gustav__: if you're looking for a discussion of network security practices, ##security would be more on-topic.
almoxarife: that wasn't nice.
change the setting in fstab you say?
Pici: true, it was not
yes..moment Clair
gustav__: you've been speaking to an op this entire time, believe me, we're here.
remove errors=remount-ro
i dont suggest this Clair ^
Pici: Figures why nothing is done about all of these personal attacks, and now I mean the support discourse.
gustav__, i believe Pici is a ircOP aswell.
I do not have much of a choice.  My server runs harddrive intensive stuff and the software is terrible and likes to open and delete actively used files.  Ubuntu needs to not through a fit about it.  Thank you for your help.
gustav__: Not everything needs to result in a kick. Anyway, I think you'll get a better discussion of your options through a non-distro specific method.
Well thats why they are failing Clair , if you abuse a harddrive you can expect it to fail.
How do I combine ubuntu's ease with my Wifi with Slackware's efficiency?

_r00t_, yes
Hello. If i insert a HDD in computer A with one hardware configuration, and install ubuntu, and later take that hdd with the ubuntu installation and insert it in another computer with a different hardware configuration, will the installation then work and also will it be altered? Is there a possibility that the installation will be corrupted?
_r00t_, you installed it from that ppa, didn't you?
invariant: nope on a fresh 12.04 base
bdi_, thats possible..aslong as the fstabs match SATA-
The software misbehaving in its own isolated location should not affect the rest of the server.  If it nuke's itself thats fine but the os jumping up and saying "OOOOO, I want to do that to!" is not ok.  I have backups s I am not worried about loosing anything, however down time every other day is bad!
SATA0 *
blackness, which part is possible?
Clair, if the software reads/writes to the disk, no matter if its isolated or not, still uses the disk.
bdi_: All of it, that it works and doesn't give u a kernal panic.
bdi_, are you installing ubuntu on ComputerA, then moving the drive to ComputerB ?
_r00t_, 40e9f4dcb356dc2849c86d1227fcc5ae6a515ce937f1219443571b8cc19d550b  /usr/lib/php5/20090626/pdo_pgsql.so
does anybody know an application to combine multiple *.doc to one pdf?
blackness, yes i was considering it
_r00t_, sha256sum
thats possible..i do that all the time.
just make sure you plug in the drive to the 0 port of SATA/IDE
blackness, because i need some data on that hdd which resides in a mysql database on that hdd
invariant: md5sum ?
gaussblurinc_: convert the doc to pdf then combine it
why not dump the SQL data, and reinstall it on the new server bdi_ ?
_r00t_, no, sha256sum
blackness, i cannot open computer A
heoyea: ok, how to combine multiple pdf together?
Strange DC, anyways new issue.  "sudo: effective uid is not 0, is sudo installed setuid root?"
invariant: no I want an md5sum as I'm not using a 64 bit OS :p
ohh..
_r00t_, 482cc06d39fc2ed1b2af3ab433e55968
gaussblurinc_: depends u want a GUI way or command line way?
amel
_r00t_, same?
gaussblurinc_: use pdftk (on CLI)
heoyea: i need to create an combination of lections, so, i don't know, if one way is better, than another
invariant: how can it be ? I use 32bit, 64bit is outside my budget LOL
btw, md5 is not secure in crypto sense

Hello. If i insert a HDD in computer A with one hardware configuration, and install ubuntu, and later take that hdd with the ubuntu installation and insert it in another computer with a different hardware configuration, will the installation then work and also will it be altered? Is there a possibility that the installation will be corrupted?
bdi_, i already answered that question..yes it can be done.
maxiaojun, that's why I used sha256sum.
invariant: plus I use libapache2-mod-php5
_r00t_, I also used that now.
gaussblurinc_: heres an easy GUI 1 if u want https://sites.google.com/site/couturierapp/
hey homies. Quick question, im trying to launch 10.04 on an older celeron D machine (livecd) and it is forever stuck on the loading screen
bottlebob32: then you try alternative cd?
blackness, you just said "thats possible". i did not understand that answer.... what is possible? That the hdd is beeing corrupted? That it can be done with no problems? What
"sudo: effective uid is not 0, is sudo installed setuid root?" has anyone seen this error before?
invariant: apt-get remove --purge libapache2-mod-php5filter
If your using ComputerA to setup ubuntu, and move it to ComputerB, it will be okay.
maxiaojun, I;ve tried
same result
_r00t_, already done
How do I copy and install my working wifi driver?

lonewulf85, try sudo apt-get install libgnome
yeah

is there anyway to repair sudo without sudo or physical access?
bencevans_: I have tried this and still did not get anything to work.
_r00t_, how do you load the extension module?
Clair_, use 'su'.
then repair that way.
_r00t_, I think I just read a part of the solution which says that the order matters...
it tells me my password is wrong when it's not, that normal?
_r00t_, as such, it would make a lot of sense if it just tried to load it too early or something like that.
did you sudo to root and set a password before?
_r00t_, if I have a known good order, then it would probably work.
Clair_, did you sudo to root and set a password before?
I did not
lonewulf85: libgnome2-dev is the package that has that pkgconfig file
lonewulf85 ok, in that case try 'sudo apt-get install libgnomeui-dev'
My issue is I have installed Bitdefender and want to get the nautilus integration to work but keep running into an error.
Clair_, then i dont know how you would fix sudo
Hello. Anyone seen a black with yellow loading dots after an upgrade of Ubuntu? I get this and it hangs
Clair_: maybe u got CAPS on?
Clair_: see http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo
Or that :)
mendoza: i never upgrade, no matter ubuntu, os x or windows
fresh install the way to go
invariant: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1373442/
maxiaojun: gratulation to all the root-exploits in your systems
thats not the error Im getting guntbert
Clair_, you can use Recovery Mode, or are you not at the machine?
lonewulf85, no need for bitdefender on linux , that's a windows app afaik and  it won't run on linux
im not at the machine
then i know of no other way to repair this issue..
thanks to everyones help here
would installing xfce4 next to gnome cause this issue?
i see that it updated both initrd.img and vnlinuz
Clair_: ok, one step back: can you log in at all?
I can and am
iceroot: i don't mean upgrade in apt-get sense
Clair_: can you use sudo on the CLI?
cli?
maxiaojun: so not worth trying to fix the problem, better to start fresh at this point?
terminal, i have terminal
im connected via ssh
mendoza: i advocate start fresh, you can still ask questions if people can guess the reasons
ubottu ok
invariant: user conf error or ubuntu error ?
BluesKaj: Not only is it not a fake and is actually a real working application. I fell that there is enough of a chance with 1-xxx number of viruses being linux ones that I am going to use it.
_r00t_, probably user conf error, but it should warn against such bad use.
lonewulf85, i use clamav..but for fun.
Clair_: so please !pastebin the output of    sudo ls -l /etc/passwd
sudo: effective uid is not 0, is sudo installed setuid root?
not worth pastebiniing one line :)
lonewulf85, bah humbug !
hola
Clair_: groups
blackness: I also used clamav until I stumbled onto this http://www.techradar.com/news/software/applications/7-of-the-best-anti-virus-apps-for-linux-669087

It did a check disk on boot then this happened
Clair_: no, that isn't caused by a disk check, I've never seen a group "staff" - did you make that yourself?
its been there since I installed ubuntu, its the same name as the user
your user is staff Clair_ ?
blackness yes
how do i create export my public key with gpg?
is staff part of 'sudo' ?
blackness was before the restart

you can view if it is, by cat /etc/group i believe..
Clair_: you can follow the procedure on the page I sent you, until "do the actual repair", then you type chmod -v u+s /usr/bin/sudo and reboot
hello i know what i ask is irrelevant with the room but i cant findd it anywhere on the internet and i am in a hurry..so if anyone can answer.. when did pentium 4 (x86 architecture) became available for the public to buy?

OptiWork: First hit off Google LOL
:)
lonewulf85: your user doesn't have permission to write to that location, you in general need to: sudo make install; (though I generally prefer to adjust --prefix to install it locally or build a package)
Clair_: ah, I forgot, sorry - anyway I have to leave - Good luck!
time taken to log on to #ubuntu ? LOL
trism: I thought that was what was going on thanks. :)
anyone else up for tackling this error? "sudo: effective uid is not 0, is sudo installed setuid root?"
Clair_: on your server install?  12.10?
optiwork yes, on my server install and 12.10
trism: I ran the command "./configure && sudo make && sudo make install" would that have worked.
lonewulf85: you shouldn't run: sudo make; but yes
trism: Why should I not run sudo make?
Clair_: can you set chmod 4777 /usr/bin/sudo?
Clair_: can you set chmod 4755 /usr/bin/sudo?
chmod: changing permissions of `/usr/bin/sudo': Operation not permitted
OptiWork: let me guess, its a vps :)
Clair_: ahh so you have 0 root access atm
lonewulf85: no need to, results in a bunch of build files you can't modify as your user, may have unpleasant side-effects, it's not a good idea to do this as root when you don't have to
yup
ActionParsnip: :)
Clair_: can you boot from the 12.10 live cd and mount /dev/sda1 /mnt or whatever it's called and then change permissions?
lonewulf85: err that final 'this' should be 'things'
Clair_: i've seen this. I'm continually bowled over by this
OptiWork: could boot to root recovery console
invariant: Talk to me man !
actionparsnip ? and optiwork I do not have physical access
trism: Oh so would this output be good or bad?  http://pastebin.com/CHrS9jHb
Clair_: vps?
no, colocated
Clair_: ugh..
lonewulf85: looks successful to me
OptiWork: It must be slow at work to end up here !
Clair_: machine will need to be rebooted into a recovery console or live media and someone there will need to change the permissions for you.
trism: Cool so when I reboot the right click menu should list "Scan with bitdefender".
_r00t_: hey, I went and had pie in the next building over :P
OptiWork: LOL

hi Evil_Eric
ooo

Clair_: can you edit that script?
yes indeed I can
Clair_: add the chmod 4755 /usr/bin/sudo to it
Clair_: add the chmod command in there :)
:)
will that fix that strange error?
Clair_: it will get sudo back to how it should be
Clair_: for some unknown reason, VPS peeps like to change the ACL on sudo. Its completely frustratoing
Clair_: so you won't have sudo access til the script runs. Make it the first command ran by the script so that at 4am you can do stuff :)
I can not edit that file
my permissions got changed on it somehow

nikolam: I've not seen that as part of the Kernel in ubuntu
ikonia, well, it is not. there is not even PPA for it
ok, so no-one in #ubuntu will be using it then
as the channel is for ubuntu discussion
is there any other way to chmod without sudo or root?  Some security exploit of some sort?  Something that allows me to change a 0777 file?
ikonia, well, why not. Ubuntu is linux distribution and it is linux kernel module.
I just ask if anyone tried it.
Clair_: you have to own it
It would not be supported, right.
nikolam: ##linux is your channel for generic linux
this channel is specific to ubuntu
ikonia, well, I am willing to ask people if anyone is using it under Ubuntu, to share, you know.
that is all.
Clair_: if there wa sit'd be a massive security flaw
nikolam: no-one is using it under ubuntu, as you said it's not in the kernel or a PPA
ikonia, that doe NOT mean noone is using it under Ubuntu!
Hey!! whats up? ;)
nikolam: it means it's not on topic for this channel or #xubuntu
I suppose there are also people in Ubuntu that compile and make/contribute something , even in ubuntu.
nikolam: try ##linux
anyone have experience with nosql?
ikonia, it is.
Clair_: sounds like you need a smarthands to boot to root recovery mode and chmod the file to how it should be
because I as for ubuntu/whatever combination.
nikolam: sorry, it's not.
try ##linux
nikolam: it's not supported in ubuntu, it's not part of the kernel, and it's not in a PPA
this channel is for ubuntu support
ikonia, so what.
and I use Ubuntu and want to ask peole if anyone tried something.
thats is not the crime.
nikolam: I'll ask one last time, "please" take it to ##linux
generic linux support is better in there
nikolam: then try in #ubuntu-offtopic
I have a proftpd server setup to use mysql for authentication.  Could I use something along that lines to modify root files?
ikonia, I am  not talking about it. All I talk about is that you continue pushing me around. Topic is not even there aymore.
Clair_: no
nikolam: great, not talking about it any more, thank you
Clair_, no one is going to help you 'exploit' anything, if you cannot get your hands on the machine, or have someone else do this, you're screwed.

ActionParsnip i dont like being a douche, but sometimes it just leaks out :P LOL
I own the machine, I dont feel like paying 100s of dollars to have one command executed

Clair_: if it's your box, you should have sudo access, why do you not have sudo access
becuase the sudo file got chmodded
Clair_: how ?
why
Clair_: its how he VPS is setup, its really stupid but its what you have
and by who
wish I knew
its not a vps
Clair_, check history..
its a dedicated box
Clair_: can you show me the output of "uname -a" please.
Clair_, ALL my servers are HOST -> OpenVZ. for quick restore.
iknonia Linux workspace 3.5.0-17-generic #28-Ubuntu SMP Tue Oct 9 19:31:23 UTC 2012 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
looks like 12.10 Clair_ ?
so that looks like a physcal standard install
it is
Clair_: boot into recovery mode.
Clair_: or from a CD
he cant ikonia he doesnt have local access..just ssh
then he'll have to pay for remote hands
no physical access, thats why I am trying to get around having to do it that way, my colocation host charges oodles of money for that
ikonia, i agree..or visit the machine himself.
Clair_, then you need to switch to a different colo..my colo doesnt charge for anything like that.
and if they do, its never over 20$
blackness: yeah, we do it as part of the contract if its hosted
ciao
Should I ask a question about tools for ubuntu development here or in the #ubuntu-devel channel?
mspencer: I would start here
I seem to have problems getting my 12.04 Server to access things outside the local network (i.e. cannot connect to google) while other 10.04 Desktops can connect with same settings
Pong, firewall?
blackness, no on server firewall and the server and desktops have same access to all
I think
Is sbuild or pbuild better at conserving Internet access (saving downloads for reuse, etc)? I've got an Internet connection that is limited in the amount of download usage per month.
pbuilder has cache if you like mspencer
how do i upgrade to ubuntu kernel for 10.04.4?
but you do not need to use pubuilder if you do not want to though it is a good idea mspencer
WeThePeople: sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
mspencer,  running lintian on packages seems to help me all the time
how do i load the kernel for 10.04.4?
bobweaver: how? I'm new to ubuntu development.
mspencer,  that is cool can I ask what you are deving up  ?
bobweaver: bug fixing, mostly in python programs.
so why does the kernel matter for python ?
wethepeople, What are you running now?
bobweaver: so far I've worked on software-properties.
mspencer,  you might want to look into the #ubuntu-motu channel also
oops, miss-read, sorry
molochdynamo, 3.0.0-27-generic #44~lucid1-Ubuntu
mspencer,  this is one of my favorites when it comes to pbuilder guides http://pbuilder.alioth.debian.org/
bobweaver: okay, thanks!
mspencer,  there is also the #debian-mentors   that is on there network
bobweaver: thanks
but mspencer  when building a package lintian is run auto when you use debuild
but you are right it is best to use pbuilder
when i run dolphin in ubuntu (and im not referring to KDE), even if i click to show the toolbar it doesnt show it, why is this happening?
wethepeople, apt-get dist-upgrade should do it. Was there a problem?
bobweaver: thanks, I'll stick with pbuilder.
im using openelec on a htpc and i installed win7 which overwrote the MBR.. is it easy enough for me to use ubuntu live cd to install grub on the openelec system partition and then let win7 manage the dual boot?
mspencer,  you have read the Ubuntu packaging guide ?
http://developer.ubuntu.com/packaging/html/   << mspencer
tooner: use the omgubuntu guide 'sticking it to grub'  to reinstate grub to the mbr
Hi, trying to install 12.04 on a new HP tower. Wubi.exe install and a Windows boot manager ubuntu is displayed as a choice but the box claims corrupted. Any ideas?
ActionParsnip thanks
molochdynamo, i would like to keep using 10.04, the problem is i updated the kernel to oneric and would like to load lucids kernel again
bobweaver: Yes, I've read that and used its instructions for working on my first bug.
mspencer,  I also highly recomend the Debian new maintians guide though cryptic at points it is a good place to" dig deep " so to say
WeThePeople: reboot, hold shift and select the kernel
WeThePeople: Lucid is EOL in 6 months so you wil need to move soon
mspencer,  http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/maint-guide/
WeThePeople  less than 6 months, even
nope 12.04 is to slow on my comp
can't wait for Lucid to die
+1 ActionParsnip
WeThePeople  then use lxde
#NAKEDCATS
wethepeople, What actionparsnip said, you should be able to remove the 10.4.4 kernel after that.
WeThePeople: or use Xubuntu, you can run all your favourite gnome apps in any desktop...
bobweaver: thanks
np
mspencer,  are you getting stuck somewhere or is it just a issue of bandwidth ?
ActionParsnip: any hint on why dolphin doesnt show toolbar in unity?
simplew, doesn't it show on the top panel?
bobweaver: No, we just got a new Internet service that limits us on download usage plus I just upgraded to 12.10 via a new install, so was just wondering on the best method.
simplew: as in 'File Edit View' etc
ActionParsnip: yes
simplew: is it not put in the global menu?
ActionParsnip: i click to show toolbar but doesnt show it
simplew: what if you press ALT+F  while Dolphin has focus?
mspencer,  ahh yeah there are many ways to skin a cat you can build local and test also . that is another way just like with debuild but you can run      fakeroot dpkg-buildpackage -f from the source dir and that will give you debian package to try on local system or a virtual one ect if you do not have great bandwidth
ActionParsnip: oh i forgot tha tunity the menu bar is show in the top desktop bar
mspencer,  but keep in mind on new packages it is best to use pbuilder be cause if you need what I like to call hidden dependences in the d/control
simplew: yes, thats the global menu....
what a crap
ActionParsnip: thanks
simplew: no worries, all the other gnome apps do that too
ActionParsnip: time to go back to cinnamon
bobweaver: I'll just stick with pbuilder since I'm new, thanks for all your help!
ActionParsnip: another thing, how do i configure icons in unity just for curiosity
simplew: you can use cinammon, but its not supported here
time to go Back in Time :) @simplew
ActionParsnip: im still in unity
simplew: you can configure icons in any desktop by editting the .desktop for the app in /usr/share/applications
np mspencer  let us know (buy filing a bug or question on  launchpad) if there is anything about the packageing guide that can be better thanks for deving up in Ubuntu You Rock !
ActionParsnip: im referring to the icons theme
simplew: by default they should obey the icon theme you set
mspencer,  https://launchpad.net/ubuntu-packaging-guide
ActionParsnip: thats what im asking, how to change icons theme in unity
simplew: there is gnome-tweak-tool    you can set things with
ActionParsnip: but that isnt installed by default
simplew: many things aren't
what channel is best to join for help with reprepro?
ActionParsnip: how can i set dolphin as default fle manager in unity?
Thanks!
Selecting ubuntu from the windows boot menu claims File: \ubuntu\winboot\wubildr.mbr is missing or corrupt. Any diagnostics for this?
simplew: right click a folder in nautilus, then select open with other app and select dolphin
geezenslaw: have you chkdsk'd your NTFS partition?
ActionParsnip: thats not what i asked
the machine has 2 drives C: and E: and I chose E:. I suspect E: has no partition. but why did it install w/ no issues?
simplew: it will change the config so that folders open in dolphin, so anytime a file browser is needed, it will open
simplew: how is that not what you wanted?
ActionParsnip: when i right click in a folder i have no option like "Open With...", it simply apepars "Open"
simplew: do you have 'open with other application'?
simplew: 5th option down...?
ActionParsnip: not when right click over a folder
simplew: in nautilus
yes in nautilus
ActionParsip: the machine won't let me run chkdsk. must be so-called elevated mode.
geezenslaw: in windows?
simplew,  what is permissions on file ?
is it a script ?
or executable
bobweaver: im in home, so i have all permission i need to a full control
simplew: http://askubuntu.com/questions/168752/how-to-run-dolphin-instead-of-nautilus
simplew,  you are getting the anwser that I am saying. Is the file that you are trying to open a script or maked as executable ?
simplew: http://askubuntu.com/questions/84929/how-to-set-up-dolphin-as-default-file-manager
ActionParsnip: yes in windows. I checked the account type and i'm Administrator. I don't get it.
ActionParsnip: thats simply a bad hack, i thought there was some option to set default filemanager
if so then it will just run that script and you can not right click to open with program.  Or if you are using mixed libarys maybe gtk3 is flipping out. Or maybe this is a desktop file that you are trying to open ?
ActionParsnip: but thanks for the tip
geezenslaw: runa cmd as admin and  run:  chkdsk /F c:
geezenslaw: windows?
simplew: not something I've had to do, it may be in mime_types file (if memory serves)
geezenslaw: right click the shortcut and click 'rus as administrator'
hey all
quick question
for anyone who is willing to answer
ActionParsnip: any hint how to edit mimetypes in unity?
running 12.04 from a USB flash drive sys persistent and the dropbox app (installed from .deb file through Software center) won't hang on to my login
simplew: its a text file, so the session is moot
it resets every reboot
ActionParsnip: moot?
I've tried a number of fixes to no avail
simplew: irrelevant, not important
ActionParsnip: but i dont know which file is
simplew: sudo updatedb; locate mime | grep type
simplew: didn't spring to mind?
ActionParsnip: in fact no :)
Hello all -
ActionParsnip: this is weird, if running kwrite in unity it does show menu bar in kwrite window, strange doesnt do the same for dolphin
anyone on hand to help out with a problem I'm having.
QT + gtk 3 =  What something is not right
nautilus is going from bad to worst, now isnt even possible to have a tree sidebar panel like used to exist...
GandalfB,  it is best just to ask your question
thanks bob - ok will do
simplew: could poke around in /etc/mime.types
ActionParsnip: run as admin makes no diff. I suspect the setup is geared to use the C: drive and not the E: drive.
I will try to use an USB flashdrive.
geezenslaw: whichever partition (not a drive) has the Wubi install on, get it checked.
geezenslaw: you should have a GUI app in systrem tools if memory serves
ok - I've installed 12.10 - and now I'm getting a hang on longin screen, after I log in with my user name and password.   The login prompt vanishes and I just get the default wallpaper and mouse pointer, nothing else.   The OS seems to report general error and thats it.   I've tried stopping and starting lightdm and also tried switching to gdm.    prior to the restart, there were number of things installed, so I'm not su
GandalfB: su isn't a user
GandalfB: what video chip do you have?
I'm using nvidia 8600
its rather old pc
GandalfB,  you have ran unity test ?
GandalfB: did you install the proprietary video driver?
GandalfB: mine are all older ;)
I think, I might of changed the driver before re-starting
maybe.. can't remmber
GandalfB: did you upgrade from Precise, or is it a clean install?
how do I run unity test / switch
its a clean install
all I've installed since the clean install is xammp, some ai32-libs and flash plugin
GandalfB,  if you press ctrl+alt+f1 then log in and run  "/usr/lib/nux/unity_support_test -p "   is it all yeses ?
bobweaver: well that's super convenient
ActionParsnip,  I am betting that you are right and it is mod that is not loaded
it says - "Error: unable to open display"
GandalfB,  can you install pastebinit ?
how do I do that -
then run     "lspci | pastebinit "  then give us the link to see
sudo apt-get install pastebinit
thanks
you are at tty ?
doing that now
GandalfB,  also a "lsmod | pastebinit "  would also help
I am running 12.04 server ... I want to install libcgi-dev ... which is in universe .... which I think is properly enabled ... but I keep getting " Package 'libcgi-dev' has no installation candidate"
nrdb, sudo apt-get install pastebinit; sudo apt-get update|pastebinit
blackness that will not work
anyone know why Dropbox logs out after reboot
can't get it to stick
ok the lspci output is http://paste.ubuntu.com/1373653/
must save output at var then cat it like           " update-output=$(sudo apt-get update) && cat $update-output | pastebinit "
http://paste.ubuntu.com/1373656/ is the lsmod output
GandalfB,  I also have that same chip in a different computer."  GeForce 8600 GT "
Lttlwing16: have you tried with a different USB stick?
Nope..
GandalfB,  sudo apt-get install nvidia-current
howdy all. What will I lose, aside from the annoying start bar thing, if I install another desktop like Cinnamon?
then reboot
ActionParsnip: I think nautilus is out of wack
hi everyone. Somebody could tell me what should I do to not enter the password each time when i try install smth, for example: sudo apt-get install.... then I have to enter the pswd... can I set smth to don't do it?
yes, i was wrong..
BeoWulf`: if you use cinammon you will not get support for it here
because It won't hold on to the Spotify app I put in the dock either
blackness, yeah I have run into the troubles many times
nrdb, follow what bobweaver pasted: update-output=$(sudo apt-get update) && cat $update-output | pastebinit
str1ct: http://www.maestric.com/doc/unix/ubuntu_sudo_without_password
blackness, see http://paste.ubuntu.com/1373659/
Oo
beandog: thank you;)
you are using universe, lemme see if that package exists under that name
blackness no I was wrong :/
Not looking for support, mostly I want to know what I will lose?
ok, it says "nvidia-current is already the newest version"
evening all
BeoWulf`: that's all.
nrdb, what does: sudo apt-get install libcgi0 report?
I think I may of switched something with the video card on previous login,
bobweaver, so we're both wrong ?:P
does anyone know a good command to purge everything relating to a program
GandalfB,  what is   "apt-cache policy nvidia-current | pastebinit "
so the program can be reinstalled
?
is there a easy way to install xampp on ubuntu?
andybrine, have you tried apt-get remove --purge package ?
WeThePeople: please dont use xampp on GNU/Linux
WeThePeople: download the tar.gz file and extract it
not yet, thanks blackness
welcome, or you can use apt-get purge andybrine
lcabreza2: please dont suggest to install something as tar.gz
i installed neflix and want to purge all then reinstall
http://paste.ubuntu.com/1373666/
WeThePeople: it would be best to download and compile ..
i perfer the --flags over all the others
blackness, "E: Unable to locate package libcgi0"
GandalfB, funny thing is if installed nvidia is not loaded in lsmod :?
nrdb, 12.04?
iceroot, what do you recommend
WeThePeople: sudo apt-get install apache2 php5 mysql-server phpmyadmin
is the output from that command
LIES
WeThePeople: install the lamp packages directly with the command i gave you
blackness, yes ... 12.04.01 to be precise
i have that package for 10.11
12.10 *
iceroot, can i run perl
GandalfB,  try    "sudo modprob nvidia && sudo services lightdm restart "
bobweaver I might of stupiedly turned it off
The following NEW packages will be installed:\  libcgi-dev libcgi0
WeThePeople: sure, sudo apt-get install perl  (but i guess its already installed)
one moment nrdb
bobweaver, trying now
blackness, uname -a = "Linux www 3.2.0-32-generic #51-Ubuntu SMP Wed Sep 26 21:33:09 UTC 2012 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux"
GandalfB,  yeah it looks that way lsmod says driver is not loaded but policy says that it is installed
nrdb, what are we trying to do? maybe the package name changed from 12.04 to 12.10
blackness, I am trying to develop some cgi in C for a website... the libcgi looks api looks good.
bobweaver, modprob, says command not found.... could that be because I'm running gdm instead of lightdm?
No
blackness, isn't that "libcgi-dev"
yes..
http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=libcgi&searchon=names&suite=quantal&section=all
i found packages for all ubuntu's but 12.04 :/
GandalfB,  sudo apt-get remove nvidia-current && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo apt-get install nvidia current && sudo reboot
that will reboot at end
nrdb, libcgic-dev
bobweaver, cool let me try that
blackness, that is different but I suppose I could use it... libcgi must have been dropped at some time.
nrdb, sudo apt-get install libcgic-dev, sorry, forgot that part.
same thing..cept for sizes :P
apt-cache search libcgic
does that provide header files bobweaver ?
ActionParsnip: the solution is to in mimeapps.list add a line with inode/directory=kde4-dolphin.desktop
blackness run apt-cache show <name of package >
Hi. How can I see the version of the GPU driver?
It should be displayed with glxinfo
he needs the development package.. libcgic isnt the development package..im viewing it via www :P
blackness, bobweaver , thanks for your time... I see about converting the code to libcgic
bobweaver, thats working away
theos911: server glx version string: 1.4. is that it?
Welcome nrdb
nrdb,  what about libcg ?
opps that is nvidia toolkit :/
No minas, I don't think so.
I'm a bit rusty, but it should be something more like "3.3.0 NVIDIA 295.49"
theos911: client glx version string? (By the way, I want the driver version, not the version of openGL). I'm using ATI
I think OpenGL version string is what you want
theos911: no, that's the version of opengl
One can see the pacakge infromation like version number  with     apt-cache policy <name of package >
Ok, I tried, Sorry
including drivers
theos911: thanks anyway :)
or mods or what every
bobweaver, rebooting
bobweaver, ok rebooted, logged in, starting at just the wallpaper and the mouse pointer,  nothing else.  I'm supposed to be using GDM
iceroot, how do i run the installed programs to edit a webpage?
GandalfB,  ok open terminal ctrl+alt+t  and run lsmod | grep nvidia    anything show up ?
bobweaver, rebooting
bobweaver, fyi,, it just said the applicatoin compiz has closed unexpectedly
ahh
GandalfB,  let us know when rebooted
bobweaver, I'm not repbooting btw, that was typeo
oh
press ctrl+alt+f1   log in and run     lsmod | pastebinit      then give us link
ok roger
http://paste.ubuntu.com/1373717/
er nividia is still not loaded !
Bobweaver, also nothing showed up doing the grep
GandalfB,  sudo modprob nvidia
modprob: command not found
oh woops try this    sudo modprob  nvidia_current
modprobe
thanks three18ti  !
that is it forgot the e
;)
GandalfB,  ^^
sudo modprobe nvidia
Bobweaver, gotchat
gezz
* bobweaver feels silly 
yea, I hate it when linux does what I say instead of what I want...
Bobweaver, it says fatal: Module nvidia_current not found.
sudo modprobe nvidia
Anyone here using Openbox and having an issue where alt-shift-tab doesn't work?
GabrieleV,  should just go to the next line if so run     lsmod | pastebinit
Bobweaver, it says fatal: Module nvidia_current not found.
er wrong person ^^
GandalfB,  sudo modprobe nvidia          said that ?
Bobweaver, it sure did
Bobweaver, I can turn on webcam if that helps :D
GandalfB,  sudo apt-get install linux-headers-`uname -r`
are they installed ?
is there a way to extract the e-mail that Thunderbird has cached?  I lost the main drive my e-mail server was living on, and it looks like the ONLY copy I have is the cached copy in Thunderbird
Man I hate installing linux for old people, because chances are, they have paid for some stupid cisco based web application that only works in ie6
webex, I hate you
Now I have to do a dual boot
Bobweaver, what are teh characters after "linux-headers-'uname -r'"  is that correct
nothing
sudo apt-get install linux-headers-`uname -r`
that is it
Bobweaver what key is 'uname -r'  as it saying "E: Unable to locate package linux-headers-uname -r"
GandalfB: just do this sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates && apt-get update && apt-get install nvidia-current
root, ok
that is not supported ^^
but should work
Bobweaver.... ok safe to do?
GandalfB: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install nvidia-current
does ubuntu2d have a hotkey to make a window undecorated+fullscreen
but if you add beta software you might get beta output though that is a good repo
GandalfB: i use it. i need it so my gpu can run urban terror
bobweaver: is it beta ? really ?
bleeding edge / beta / whatever you want to call it
hey all
bobweaver: it's current 'latest stable'
and nvidia-current is already installed so I guess that one would want to upgrade only
hi
_r00t_,  you are correct it is not beta
edgers
the beta is 310 if memory serves
310.19-0ubuntu1~xedgers~raring1
boom!
WeThePeople: apache and mysql will be started automaticly after they are installed
Guake Terminal is AWESOME
Bobweaver, btw should I of mentioned that I'm running 64bit earlier?
Bobweaver, rebooting
GandalfB,  need to get that mod(driver) loaded
how do I do that :O
should be loading auto not sure why not . I would file a bug on that . but that is just me.
whats teh pannel in ui were you set the driver
is there anyway I can force display that pannel?
guys
Bobweaver, I can seem to get a file exporer up by creating a folder on desktop
Bobweaver, can I run it form there?
GandalfB,  by adding the ppa that _r00t_  suggested that will then upgrading it should do it,   GandalfB   modprobe loads drivers
I think I set something doddy in one of the display panels settings, from the ui tho.. there was a window (before i had the problem) which listed 5 odd drivers for nvidia.. do what know what pannel that is?
you can reconfigure nvidia_current
sudo dpkg-reconfigure nvidia-current
or if you can open terminal with ctrl+alt+t   then try  sudo nvidia-xconfig
Bobweaver, should I reboot arfter reconfigure current?
I need to know how to get my internet working... I had this problem the other day, and reset the router. I am at someone elses house and reset the router.
Bobweaver, rebooting
Bobweaver, ok what should I see when I type "sudo nivdia-xconfig"
sorry..just joined this chat...how far are we on the QA verification point?
Bobweaver, sudo dpkg-reconfigure nvidia-current and reboot seemed to make my desktop resoluotion even smaller :P

How can i do a swap?
i get  swapon failed: Operation not permitted
I need to know how to get my internet working... I had this problem the other day, and reset the router. I am at someone elses house and reset the router.
[_-S1L3NC3-_]: sudo swapon -a
ok
exit
exit
swapon: /swapfile1: skipping - it appears to have holes.
[_-S1L3NC3-_]: swapfile ? Should it not be a partition ?
how do I mount the cd rom from a live environment? I mounted my ubuntu usb drive, and now I want to burn an iso, but I can't access the cdrom
how can i swap?
i was trying an alternative mthod
[_-S1L3NC3-_]: Fair enough .... you followed a procedure like this http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/linux-add-a-swap-file-howto/
what's the best way to get gpg-agent to cache password?
yes somewhat _r00t_
what is the easiest way?
.net
[_-S1L3NC3-_], probably creating a swap partition is best, IF you have a disk with empty space,
im in a VPS
so..
whats the metapackage to install basic x server called?
[_-S1L3NC3-_]: Should work http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=516004 ....... Ahhhhh IC - you're in a vps :)
[_-S1L3NC3-_], hmm, I thought in a VPS you wouldn't need swap at all?
ok
[_-S1L3NC3-_]: Welcome to Jail .... your turn to throw the dice
[_-S1L3NC3-_], I mean, isn't that for the host env?
hi everyone... I installed ubuntu on another new harddrive and the left the previous installation on the first hard drive alone. Nothing has changed on the grub list of ubuntu installations.. It just has that first "Ubuntu" entry
umm idk
but i have a ram limit
when i click on it, it goes to the first instllation
how do i fix that?
evening all. I seem to have lost my files after an upgrade to 12.10 but they seem to be under a folder called .ecryptfs and I can't retrieve them. can anyone help me out?
[_-S1L3NC3-_], I woulnd't worry about swap unless I was running bare metal
i need a i need a swap because im getting ram errors on a pkg im trying to config
_r00t_ didnt work
willbeeler, you probably just need to run update-grub, typically it finds all ubuntu installs and adds them to grub,
_root_, is there are way I can just re-install ubunto without using usbkey or cdrom (as I don't have either option) to correct my problem.  as it was fairly clearn install?
_r00t_ am i supposed to rename "./swap.virtual.disk" ?
what package do i need for a basic Xsession?
GandalfB, without a media source, you cant really do much..
willbeeler:  sudo update-grub
willbeeler, assuming you would like to add the installation on the second disk to the grub menu on the first disk, anyway,
is there a way to compare two directory trees. e.g: something like rsync reporting what it would do if you invoked it
blackness, well I have the media,  I just can't boot from cd (as I dont have one) and the motherboard is to crapy to boot from usb
dooml0rd: diff -r
so is there an equiviant to the windows installer?
GandalfB, i'd go buy a single CD-r
im sorry i must have lost connection... does anyone know what to do about my question? I have 2 installations of ubuntu, but only one grub entry
doomlord, yes, rsync has an option that will do nothing, it's, -n i think
dooml0rd: or run the rsyn with -n option ie --dry-run
and the grub entry goes to the older one
blackness, no I have no cd-r drive :)
no CDRom period?
I have the cd-r ;D
i believe there is a way to use grub to install from a iso.
well, correct,  actually no ide cable to connect it :S
thanks
doomlord, or --dry-run, so something like rsync --update /first/dir /second/dir --dry-run, maybe
GandalfB, can you borrow one from another device? like a slave HD..
GandalfB, wait, you said IDE right?
rsync -nr perhaps (recursive/dry run)
not really
willbeeler, assuming you would like to add the installation on the second disk to the grub menu on the first disk, anyway, use 'sudo update-grub
blackness, yup
willbeeler, it *should* automatically see that you have kernels on the second disk, and add them to your grub menu
Why not slave your CDrom off your harddrive? or is the slave IDE slot taken by a harddrive?
the harddrive is sata :P
mercury00: when would I do that? On the live disc (right now) or when i get back into my first installation?
dooml0rd, right, recursive too
oh..
I'm trying to recover my lost personal files after an upgrade and I know they're on my hard drive under an ecryptfs folder but I can't access it. can anyone point me in the right direction?
Hang on GandalfB ..lemme find a guide.
dooml0rd, uh, also, -v or something, you want there to be output,
-nrv ok
blackness,  yes much swearing was involved with getting the destro on there in the first place.  I pinched an IDE cable from a friend,  which I've since returned
GandalfB, http://askubuntu.com/questions/141940/how-to-boot-live-iso-images
ok I taka  read
@search Edwin Marlow
GandalfB, You have to edit grub.cfg manually i believe.
willeeler, only from the running instance of the first disk,
bc81, this isnt a file serving channel.
willeeler, when you run update-grub it'll try to update the info it has on the running kernel / current root directory unless you carefully specify otherwise,
blackness, I think thats one for the morning, my head starting to swell with pain :(  Thanks for all the help tonight and thankyyou bobweaver for trying to help
willbeeler, but it's safest/easiest to boot into the first dist, run sudo update-grub, and watch the output.  It should print out some info about how it discovered an ubuntu kernel on the other disk
mercury00: when i setup the second instllation, i set it to the second (new) hard drive (grub i mean)... would that be a prob?
ok ill try that
haha..i know that feeling GandalfB
make sure you save it :)
how rude... I forgot to say thank you mercury00!!!
ttfn all
willbeeler, it's not a probem to 'also' install grub to the second disk, it' sjust that it'll never be used unless you physically remove the first disk.  Your BIOS -> tries booting the first disk.  The first disk -> loads grub from the boot sector, gets files from the root directory
and everyone else for their help
AHhh.. that's right..
how dumb of me
i appreciate it, now i understand
willbeeler, no problem, it's not simple so there's no reason feeling dumb
have a good night and happy thanksgiving
willbeeler, night,
well, i've been through this rodeo before, and it should have dawned on me
ttyl
willbeeler, yeah I just yesterday installed grub from a chroot onto a usb disk to reinstall on another computer, ha
I'm trying to recover my lost personal files after an upgrade and I know they're on my hard drive under an ecryptfs folder but I can't access it. can anyone point me in the right direction?
what version ubuntu QS81 ?
12.10
moment please.
upgraded from 12.04 via a thumbstick.
thank you blackness
QS81, http://askubuntu.com/questions/38336/how-do-i-recover-my-data-from-an-encrypted-home-directory/80386#80386 give this a try.
QS81, here is one with a video LOL http://blog.dustinkirkland.com/2011/04/introducing-ecryptfs-recover-private.html
QS81, make sure instead of 11.10, use 12.10 for your liveUSB..
hey, don't forget to multiply by four.
ZiauddinMK, what?
hey it worked! thanks, im logged in!
willbeeler, super!
thank you for the help blackness but this seems like it will take a long time. I'm a very deep ubuntu newbie so a lot of this is still very foreign to me.
can someone help me. I am running ubuntu 12.10 on my system and i want the default boot up to be tty1 instead of tty7. So i do want the gui running in the background, i just want it to boot to the virtual console first. Thanks!
but at least there is a way.
Just take your time, and follow the steps.. and you will be fine QS81
bazhang, i believe he wants it to goto console, and leave X running in the background. not sure if what you suggested will do that.
blackness: one minor question - when it says that the target system's hard drive needs to be mounted, do they mean the one I'm trying to open or the one that was created when the upgrade took place?
no i already tried that i want the gui to be running but not in the background. i want tty1 the first i see and i want to switch to tty7 when needed
the one that holds the encryptedfs.
target = where you want it to go, source = location of data..
sorry i got that backwards a second ago QS81
I am trying ifup wlan0 (wireless, naturally) and am getting "Unsupported driver 'iwlwifi'". It worked last week. lsmod lists iwlwifi. I think it might be suspend/resume related, but I only ever suspended once. Maybe it is because I shipped the machine. HW troubles that could have loosened the wireless card?
can someone help me. I am running ubuntu 12.10 on my system and i want the default boot up to be tty1 instead of tty7. So i do want the gui running in the background, i just want it to boot to the virtual console first. Thanks!
Hello,  I am having a very strange ethernet issue and I'm not sure where to start troubleshooting.  I'm on my windows partition and everything is fine, but in Ubuntu I can only get LAN access. WAN does not work.  DNS does not resolve.  What logs should I be looking in?
jsn: how do you 'ship a machine'?
kolaracdn, please give people time to respond and or give you a guide or a solution.
ActionParsnip, VIA UPS or FedEX
k
blackness: i see
I'm running 12.04 LTS
ActionParsnip, UPS is one choice. There are many.
Synthos: disable the ability for the network chip to wake up the OS as well as the power management
Synthos, so am i
jsn: i see, should be ok
jsn: if you run:   sudo lshw -C network     what wifi chip are you using?
ActionParsnip, yet, it is't OK.
Synthos: you set it in windows device manager
Ok
which is the most awsome videocard buy for a desktop to use with linux? more centered on price vs performance since im not a big gamer.. i have ATI radeon and its more sluggish than it should be cause of poor drivers
im just happy to have my samba shares back working again i have no clue what was wrong in the first place but everything pointed toward the conf file yet it was fine when i totaly removed samba and restarted everything and it all started working like it should

Hello guys, I have installed ubuntu 12.10 3.2.0-33-generic-pae #52-Ubuntu SMP Thu Oct 18 16:39:21 UTC 2012 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux installed on a laptop Toshiba U505, but the fan does not turn on. What I need to configure or install?
laffen: i'd ask in ##hardware   nvidia drivers are pretty sweet
Hey, i am having difficulties mounting an external NTFS hdd
jsn, is the wireless showing up is lspci, or lsusb, and is is 'physically' enabled, (it, on most laptops, wifi has a button you have to press or something)
ok tanx, ActionParsnip
theslow1: can you do it manually?
yea
going to try this. will return in a bit.
theslow1, did you just ask that in debian?
blackness: yes ...
theslow1: when you unplugged it last, did you use the safely remove feature in the OS?
Actionparsnip: yes
theslow1: what is the output of:  lsb_release -sc
mercury00, lspci I think shows it: 06:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 4965 AG or AGN [Kedron] Network Connection (rev 61)
jsn: and does it say 'UNCLAIMED' above it?
ActionParsnip: wheezy
theslow1: then its debian, so not supported here
theslow1, we dont support debian here..
theslow1: this is ubuntu support only
ActionParsnip...okay :(
ActionParsnip, the lshw output? Does not say UNCLAIMED, it says DISABLED.
ActionParsnip, +1
jsn, hmm, is there a button to turn on and off wifi on your computer?  on the side, or the top, or a light that turns blue or somethihg?
jsn, what is your computer again, model #?
jsn: thats good, do you have a switch or shortcut to enable or disable wifi?
ActionParsnip: i dont get reply there, but i have something like a 10 year old geoforce something but doubt its better than a radeon 5870
jsn: do you dual boot the system?
Is there a solution?
laffen: not sure, I always buy nvidia
toromata, which fan is it?  cpu, case?
will too after this
toromata: let me search
cpu
ActionParsnip, I don't dual boot.
(always nvidia, though ati's linux drivers are not bad, I just prefer the hardware)
ActionParsnip, give jsn time to respond :P
not everyone can type 70+WPM ActionParsnip heh
toromata: seems you need the boot option: acpi=noirq
toromata: http://michaelminn.com/linux/toshiba-u505/   source
blackness, I'm 50wpm+, I appreciate ActionParsnip speed :)
my 3 year old latop with internal intel video card runs better than this one
I disabled all power management... in ubuntu and still seeing no wan . can you clarify what settings
jsn: does the system have a make and model?
to disable?
One other tidbit, scanning with iwlist does work.
synthos2: http://www.trishtech.com/img_art/vista_disable_wake_up_1.jpg
jsn: does the system have a make and model?
I assume that by wake up OS you mean wake from suspend. I also disabled WOL
Hi all.  just installed 12.10.  apt-get can't seem to find htop, synaptics, or a whole wack of other software.  According to software sources, canonical, universe and multiverse are all enabled.  anyone else having this problem?
ActionParsnip, It's Sony, PSG-6C2L, it's a few years old.
i am bored of win7 n coz of .exe soft i hd to use it :( i want a linux good stable & most imp it shud update security patches whn they r released i m concern bout security :D cn you suggest me linux OS
ActionParsnip: Thanks, let me see
MoON_WallK: try Ubuntu
I always call it a Sony VAIO SZ6, ActionParsnip
ActionParsnip +1
nah it lag withn my ram
i did used it
want me in ubuntu or Windows?
gsr: sudo apt-get update; yet?
MoON_WallK arch linux?
arch is good in security ???
ActionParsnip, third name? Sony VGN-SZ650N/C
trism: yup
Oh, maybe mine isn't the N/C
gsr: which mirror?
Hey there.. I just installed ubuntu, but it doesn't look like a bootloader got installed. How can I install it from the live cd without having to go through the installer again?
gsr: or actually just pastebin /etc/apt/sources.list
jsn: try:  sudo rfkill unblock all
Tharkis, you need to load the LiveCD, and mount your SYSTEM drive, and chroot to it and type: sudo grub-install
let me get you a guide..moment please.
trism: http://pastebin.com/zakSRxtY
Tharkis, if you do it that way, be sure to mount -o bind /proc <your root system drive>/proc, as well as /sys and /dev (and maybe /dev/pts)
n yeah will counter strike run on arch lynx under wine  ???????????????
ActionParsnip, that command succeeded.
Tharkis, http://blackness.sytes.net:8181/bb72d3ea-3379-11e2-874f-4f0b4692c4f6 there you go
so would it be easier to just go through the installer again? mercury00 ?
tharkis, ah, so, I'd boot to the live-cd, then follow the instructions blackness linked,
gsr: how about the output of: sudo apt-get update;
MoON_WallK, ask in #archlinux . this is ubuntu support
ActionParsnip, lshw no longer shows disabled, but I don't know if that is from the rfkill command or from my iwconfig wlan0 up
s/iwconfig/ifconfig/
MoON_WallK, I think so, but my experience is that everyhing is much more manually configured in arch, ubuntu is more preconfigured
ok thanks.. here goes something
trism: http://pastebin.com/3gxcNvKA     I am on a train right now (viarail), so there is a chance its blocking some of the larger files needed to update apt, I guess
mercury00, feel free to support him in #archlinux
If you follow that, it will work.
MoON_WallK: if you are new to linux, ubuntu is a great start point
jsn: can you now connect to wifis?
bazhang, sorry.
ActionParsnip, still the "unsupported driver: 'iwlwifi'"
MoON_WallK: if you like counterstrike then urban terror is nice :)
ActionParsnip, Disabling power management didn't help as far as I could tell
ActionParsnip, MoON_WallK: so is Wolfenstein: enemy territory
nop i used linux mint , backtrack, ubuntu , crunchbang red hat and i am fond of linux \:D/
perhaps there are other settings that I'm missing?
how do I slide the active windows like stack of cards instead of zoom out into a grid.. hardly see which one to pick on a laptop screen
Synthos: then I suggest you run:    dmesg | less     see what happens at boot, see what is detected and not etc
MoON_WallK, did you have any actual ubuntu support questions?
MoON_WallK: those are all ubuntu base.....
MoON_WallK: well, except red hat
yup my question was which are the best security patching linux OS i cn install for long time :D
ActionParsnip, I did scan dmesg and didn't notice anything, but I don't exactly know what I'm looking for.  There were some warnings from syslog, but alas I cannot simply copy and paste easily
ne ways thank you bazhang , ActionParsnip for you help \:D/
MoON_WallK, thats not an ubuntu support question
I will try some other driver settings from windows and see what happens
jsn, btw what's lspci -n | grep 06:00.0
Synthos: you don't need to copy and paste naything, you need to skim read it for wifi stuffs
mercury00, 06:00.0 0280: 8086:4229 (rev 61)
(it's wired)
Synthos: well, wired then
I disagree with you bazhang. http://www.moonwalkinc.com/products/moonwalk-for-linux
MoON_WallK, for issues not related to ubuntu technical support, see #ubuntu-offtopic
Hi, I just wanted to let you know it worked. Thanks for the help!
Alright, off i go
Tharkis, yipee!
Synthos: use cursors to scroll down, its a useful log
I agree mercury00
jsn: ok, just checking, that's a totally supported card (and I know you said it already worked before just now stopped), ilwifi talks to it, so, does it give same message when trying to enable it?
gsr: yeah that output doesn't look right at all, it isn't trying to get quantal/universe
trism: must be this crappy wifi.  will have to try again when I get home.
mercury00, worked for a long time, in fact. What command trying to enable it do you want me to try?
nibbler_: please fix your connection, thank you
trism: thanks for the help anyway!
jsn, are you on cli only?  does anyting show up in network manager?  wifi is controlled via several configs inthe system,
Is browsing the web with an Ubuntu 12.04 live cd a security risk? Could your hard disk be compromised?
mercury00, I'm CLI for this. I never had any luck with network-managre. Let me check if I just started it.
i changed by background and now unity appears also with it, how can i get back tht default unity purple background?
i'm curious, if you have 10.10 & 10.04 servers, you probably can't upgrade can you? something would surely break i suspect.  so you would have no choice but to rebuild and start from scratch?  is there a migration option?
sambagirl, I've upgraded 10.04 and 1.10 servers to 12.04 a few times,
jeff123 anything is possible. i would imagine the NSA or CIA or DIA or IRS or FBI have a way to get in without the cd/dvd :)
sambagirl, some things could break, but it depends on what you're running
None of my rdp views will connect to vbox remotely. It's enabled on the machine and there's no firewall. Rdesktop connects fine. Anyone have any idea why I can't connect using gnome-rdp, or remmina?
hey can i get the gnome-screen saver to tell me how long it was on ... basically i want to figure out how long was the screen locked for ... how long was i away from work
ok
mercury00, I try to stay CLI, anyway.
jsn, so I'm already making assumptions that something else isn't getting in the way of the commands, like network manager changing ssytem configurations,
sambagirl: i'd shoot for a clean install then restore user data etc from backup
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades that link has nothing but really really old releases.
ActionParsnip, that would require installing all the products all over again wouldn't it?
all the dependencies and all that right?
jsn, if it were me, I'd probably try rmmod the iwlwifi module, then re modprobe-ing it, via cli, to see if any messages appear,
jsn, checking /var/log/messages or dmesg or whatnot,
mercury00, I've tried. It works perfectly. lsmod is happily reporting iwlwifi
jsn, ok that's a good thing,
i changed by background and now unity appears also with it, how can i get back tht default unity purple background???
jsn, maybe pastebin output of nm-tool?
sambagirl: indeed, both methods have advantages and disadvantages
Hey, wait! /var/log/messages is missing. dmesg output is fine, though.
jsn, unless nm is not installed,
I imagine I would encounter some issues upgrading from Hoary to 12.xx LTS?
* sambagirl sighs
simplew: change your background to a purple one
sambagirl: thats going to take AGES
jsn, it's ok, I think /var/log/messages is not universal to ubuntu,
sambagirl, some very serious issues
I guess I will have to just map out a plan to do new installs and try to remember everything i have done in the past on those pizza boxes...
mercury00, nm-tool => http://pastebin.ca/2253616
xangua: i want to have my own background in my session but continue with the pirple one in unity
Centos, I have some centos based servers, just out of curiosity, do they persue LTS concept as well?
i'll ask that there
brb
jsn, ok, unmanaged, which is ok for us for now, if you don't mind maybe pastebin /etc/network/interfaces
how do i install a realtime kernel?  mplayer pauses every time it reads about 5MB off disk
Hi there
I have a question
Anyone here familiar with the way gParted assigns bootable MBR/partitions? I'm totally stuck trying to get my dual-boot grub menu to load. :(
adknight87: Ask away.
mercury00, http://pastebin.ca/2253618   unchanged from when it was working
I have a wine application that can launch protocol urls "imvu://"
But I can't get xdg-open to do get it to open the link in the application
I can do it via terminal
ActionParsnip, I have the dmesg log, the only concerning thing I can see about dmesg is [   34.995699] ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): eth1: link is not ready [   34.996436] ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): eth1: link is not ready
I can pastebin the log (i copied a few logs to a shared partition)
http://pastebin.com/VLdLASww
(dmesg)
ek: What operating systems are you dual booting
I'm more concerned about this from the syslog:
Nov 20 19:29:40 peterm-desktop NetworkManager[1227]: <warn> failed to allocate link cache: (-10) Operation not supported
adknight87: You might want to check out the #wine or #playonlinux channels for more detailed help. They're a knowledgable bunch.
This is more so the xdg-open part
adknight87: Windows 8 and Kubuntu 12.10. Everthing installed okay, but I have no boot menu.
ek: did you install windows 8 first?
Is there any chance that there is some constant, stuck in /proc/ from the one time I did a suspend/resume?
adknight87: Yessir.
jsn, yes, that looks just fine, do you have any options to iwlwifi in /etc/modprobe/ ?
 jsn, nvmind, irrelevant, iwlwifi already working,
ActionParsnip, here is a segment of my syslog http://pastebin.com/X36L0iVt   (I cannot pastebin all the data as it exceed pastebin's max)
ek: I was thinking about doing the same thing and i had read about the mbr deal for dual booting. Apparently you just add the grub in the windows mbr I think?
jsn, is your wifi built-in?  an pci-e mini card?
ek not the grub
mercury00, it is built in. PCI-E mini? I don't know.
adknight87: My MBR seems to be completely missing and installing grub to /dev/sda1 (early sectors) and /dev/sda5 (Linux) won't work. Even after I've set them as bootable via gParted. *shrug*
jsn, I have gotten similar errors when my card died.  Also, when it was physically switched off, but I can't find any info about your laptop's wifi-switch
So, I managed to break pulseaudio, but not jack. Any way to reconfigure it? I think it's because I installed a pulseaudio-jack module and added it the default.pa, but I reverted all of that and I still have no audio. Any thoughts?
jsn, and to confirm, when you do a sudo lshw -C network, it no longer shows disabled or unclaimed?
ek: use the startup repair on the windows install disk
mercury00, there is a switch. iwlist works, though, so it can't be all bad
mercury00, correct, no longer disabled, it hasn't shown me unclaimed
jsn, does iwlist show wifi's, or empty list?
mercury00, it shows networks.
adknight87: Just to replace the MBR? Can I then replace it with a grub boot menu?
jsn, but you're unable to connect?
mercury00, correct.
ek: no you add in the part for windows to know there's another operating system.
mercury00, but it stops with that unsupported driver message, rather than something else
adknight87: The grub installation and configuration sees everything, it just doesn't install the bootloader into the correct place, apparently. IE: When I boot the system, it finds nothing even though I've installed GRUB.
jsn, hmm, yeah I don't trust the message, just hoping to get better error output,
ek: hmm what partition file formats do you have set up
jsn, honestly, it seems like the card is mostly OK, and this is where things get ugly with wifi.  I'd try connecting to an unsecured network as a test.
ek: I remember certain file systems not being read from grub
mercury00, Maybe this will help you? http://pastebin.ca/2253620
jsn, at this point you have to start using the split half approach,
jsn, ah,
jsn, what do you get 'file /dev/lan0'
isnt possible to disable what triggers unity wallpaper change when a user changes the session wallpaper?
jsn, er 'file /dev/wlan0'
If I upgrade my dist, will my packages work, or do I have to reinstall everything?
how does xdg-open work exactly?
jsn, 'file /var/run/wpa_suplicant', and 'ls -Flah /var/run/wpa_supplicant', those should be done sudo/root
mercury00, /dev/wlan0: ERROR: cannot open `/dev/wlan0' (No such file or directory)
adknight87: I have an unallocated /dev/sda1 (bootable via gParted), a /dev/sda3 (Windows 8), a /dev/sda4 (Linux swap) and a /dev/sda5 (Linux /).
hey all
mercury00, /var/run/wpa_supplicant is not present, either
jsn (but I assume you're already root/sudo)
some help to remote acces from ub un
adknight87: I read about the unrecognized grub partitions as well. I've tried roughly 6 different methods to get a menu and they have all failed. Hence the reason I'm here. :)
some help to remote acces from ubuntu to ubuntu
jsn, ah, that's fine because we want them not preexisting,
Juanopsy: Can you be more specific, please?
ek: well kubuntu has the same installation method as ubuntu right? if you just give it the right partition without the swap it will make the swap.
ek: yes, I want to remote acces to a friends computer over internet... what software should I use?
ek: Unless you want it a certain size then I can see you just walking through that but usually you can do that after you had made the main partition for kubuntu.
adknight87: Yep. Same method. However, I had to do a manual installation since the installer didn't recognize my Winderz OS for whatever reason.
Juanopsy, connect how? ftp, terminal, x?
ek: full control?
ek: that's odd. What device is this?
Juanopsy, you can use SSH for terminal, or VNC for GUI.
ek: like remote desktop
Hello, I'm trying to convert an aac file to flac with soundconverter, and a GStreamer error window pops up saying "could not initialize supporting library". Here is a paste of the console output: http://pastebin.com/MbD37gfR
Juanopsy: SSH is what you're looking for. Console access and you can actually run X windows as well.
VNC will work for you.. Juanopsy
adknight87: ASUS X75A laptop.
blackness: thx
Welcome.
ek: Let me see if I can check something out. I have a Samsung Chronos 7 series. xD
Juanopsy: Yes. SSH w/ X11 forwarding will work or a VNC, as blackness suggested.
could someone suggest what i would look at to identify why randomly xubuntu 12.10 closes all programs and just shows the desktop?
adknight87: Alrighty. Thanks.
furian: Nothing in your logs?
what lof should i look at?
furian: /var/log/syslog is a good start
log*
thanks
welkome
furian: Also, try to run a "find / -type f -iname "*.core" " command to see if there are core crash files.
ek: whats the diference of x11 and vnc?
jsn, I'd try connecting to an unsecured network for the diagnosic results, and doing the ifup with -v
Juanopsy: A VNC is a connection that basically puts your computer securely into a remote LAN (even though it's remote..) SSH is an encrypted shell that allows you to authenticate and execute commands on the remote system.
ek: should be a easy install on there I had a 8 gig onboard ssd drive and it listed it but I haven't used it. Anyways do you have anything on windows I'm thinking a fresh start by erasing the whole hard drive and getting rid of the mbr along with it.
im getting this when i try to install anything http://pastebin.com/9NMhHcDD
hey
ek: thankiu man...
mercury00, I am actually quite unwell. It is still a few weeks until the cure, and then some time to recover. I'll have to do this tomorrow, as my stomcah will not currently leave me alone.
adknight87: Well, I'm thinking this may have been because I deleted all of the no-sense partitions from Windows 8 immediately. For instance, the backup/restore partitions and such. They're stupid for me to have.
Hey guys, apparently grub got destroyed. I tried repairing it from a live CD but i get all sorts of errors like "gpt partition label contains no bios boot partition". Paste from Boot-Repair is http://paste.ubuntu.com/1373879/ I was just messing with mysql before all that. Note: it's a VM
tried removing the package which wont remove without ripping out
ek, no results for that search string you posted
all of libre office
webnet: what is the output of: lsb_release -sc
mercury00, thank you, and ActionParsnip, for your efforts.
Good night.
lucid
ActionParsnip
ek: windows 8 makes to file partitions 100mb and the system
webnet: on the desktop?
yessir ActionParsnip
ek: the 100mb is the obvious mbr location.
adknight87: So, perhaps something got lost. However, Windows booted fine earlier even after the Linux install. It just booted directly into Winderz. After I messed with gParted and "boot-repair", I can't log into anything.
adknight87: Right. I left 300MB at the beginning of the disk. It's still there.
jsn, night
webnet: is it Bhodilinux?
ActionParsnip im running BT5 R3
If I upgrade my dist, do I lose all my software?
ek: boot repair from windows? or linux?
furian: Alright. So, the programs aren't crashing. Are you sure they aren't just hidden or lost to the GUI?
webnet: then ask in #backtrack-linux please
its based on lucid tho. they told me to ask here because its a ubuntu specific issue not bt issue
adknight87: Linux. "apt-get install boot-repair".
webnet: the package you are having issue with is not an Ubuntu package, and you aren't even using Ubuntu
webnet: none of the 'ubuntu based' distros are supported here
ek: last time I messed up my mbr I had gone into the repair console using windows start up disk and fixmbr
ActionParsnip LibreOffice is an ubuntu package...
adknight87: It never worked for shit... So, I went with the standard console commands for re-installing grub. However, it still presents no boot menu.
webnet: equally, ubuntu is based on Debian, but if you ask for Ubuntu support in #debian you will be pointed here
webnet: this channel is ONLY for canonical releases
adknight87: That will fix Winderz, correct? After that's fixed, how did you get your GRUB menu back?
ek: Run the install for ubuntu again
ek: Kubuntu
Lol
ek, i feel silly, i bumped the mouse wheel and it changed workspaces, i am new to xubuntu, sorry for wasting your time
webnet: the guys in #backtrack-linux will help you as that is what you are using
Bah! I don't want to re-install! Lol.
like i said i was directed her by BT because BT is a toolkit rather than an OS itself its customized ubuntu. but ill try again
ek: it won't overwrite data
5
ek: I don't think
furian: Haha. No problem. I was going to ask about that but I didn't want you to feel insulted. :)
webnet: the OS is backtrack, so your support is in the backtrack channel;
again ill say i was directed here but ok
what keyed me in is my other user name is here in irc
thanks
adknight87: No. I'm sure it won't. I'm just lazy.
ek: imagine how I felt when I installed kernel 3.5
adknight87: It's certainly worth a shot. I have everything backed up so it isn't a big deal. I just hate not being able to figure stuff out.
ek: and nothing booted
Hello, I'm trying to convert an aac file to flac with soundconverter, and a GStreamer error window pops up saying "could not initialize supporting library". Here is a paste of the console output: http://pastebin.com/MbD37gfR
adknight87: Yup. Been there.
ek: Well all I know is you can format the hard drive all you want but the mbr is stuck on here.
ek: Windows was the only method for cleaning the mbr out
I just wanted to try everything I could to see if I could get my boot menu back.
I don't like being stumped...
adknight87: I'm not surprised. I've had problems like this before. If I didn't "NEED" Windows, I wouldn't give a rat's ass. But, school requires it.
I always thought it was file corruption
adknight87: you can use dd in liveCD to wipe an MBR :)
You know... Internet Exploder and such. VirtualBox isn't efficient enough.
ActionParsnip: More info, please.
ActionParsnip: I didn't have internet at the time just a micro sdcard with windows on it
My internet is being retarded.. Can someone point me in the right direction?
ek: on what?
adknight87: gotcha
ActionParsnip: Wiping an MBR.
ActionParsnip: I don't even seem to have one.
brandon420: Right direction for what? Sorry, I don't see anything above that you've asked.
wait wait dd?
adknight87: Yup. I can see it working if it's not mounted or at least accessible.
ek: http://www.computing.net/answers/linux/ghost-for-linux-vs-acronis-vs-g4l/28130.html
ek: all I did was:  http://duckduckgo.com/?q=wipe+MBR+dd
ek: not hard....is it?
My internet will go out like every 10ish minutes, and i have to restart my computer for it to work again
ActionParsnip: Thanks. I'll take a look.
ek: http://www.av8n.com/computer/htm/grub-reinstall.htm
What is the problem, and how do i fix it?
ek: using the webs to search for things instead of asking frees helpers up.
xD it's nice to see it on a list he can print out
ActionParsnip: That doesn't clear the MBR. In fact, it has nothing to do with what we're talking about.
ek: it does, it puts 0s in the first 512k of drive
ek: that is where the MBR resides
ek: so it does clear the MBR
ActionParsnip: Makes it unreadable
ActionParsnip: Well, if that's where the system's MBR is, yes. However, mine isn't there, apparently.
adknight87: all 0s, yep..pretty unreadable :)
ek: then you willneed to find out and do that to the partition, rather than the disk
Unallocated is exactly what it should be. So, unreadable would be great.
ActionParsnip: I'm trying to figure out why GRUB isn't booting into the menu.
ActionParsnip: take in account he has windows still already on there.
ek: you do that you'll lose the windows start xD
ek: How many times have you tried installing kubuntu?
adknight87: In my life or just on this system?
ek: when the problem started
On this system, once. In my life, probably thousands...
adknight87: Only once.
Just installed it.
ek: would be so much easier if I could just go through the motions then thinking about how to explain it lol
ek: is this your only chat?
adknight87: Well, yes. That's the issue. I've still got both systems installed but no menu to choose from.
They both work for sure.
adknight87: What do you mean?
is unity 2d going away
skype msn ... brosix, jitsi,
fail ymessenger
adknight87: I have skype, AOL, MSN, ICQ, Yahoo!, etc...
ah
skulltip:n 12.10 its gone
add me on skype and I'll give ya a ordered list to try out
so i need a decent system to install 12.10
<---
I keep my sn's obvious
or at least video card
adknight87: Alrighty. Gimme a moment.
skulltip:  not really. from what i hear
anyway, < 97% complete downloading TF2 :) no longer beta
skulltip: its dead after Precise. Quantal uses 3d only
wat
netflix doesn't work well in kde, screen is all white. going to try it in unity in a few, running 12.04
skulltip: i'd ask in #winehq too
good idea, thanks
netflix - Virtualbox
adknight87 - wine :)
I got steam native :P
who doesn't actually
lol
adknight87: me
adknight87: Skype is acting up, AIM, MSN, Yahoo! or ICQ, perhaps?
msn xD
@hotmail
Alrighty.
msn is down :D
actually down? I know its on the way
<Amelia25> anyone can tell me what are theses accounts: 100::14375:0:99999:7::: AND 101::14375:0:99999:7:::
i am puzzled
adknight87: Added.
Amelia25: where are those from?
I got ya
they are in my /etc/shadow file
I actually didn't even have the account loaded
xD
Amelia25: and finally, what is the output of:  lsb_release -sc
brasil :D
adknight87: Haha. I just saw the quit.
sorry i crashed
anyone know about theses 100, 101 account i posted ?
empathy fails
Amelia25: and finally, what is the output of:  lsb_release -sc
Blackness: It worked!! Thank you so much!! It worked, my data is saved!!
groovy: ^
QS81: get a backup!
* QS81 struts like Travolta in Saturday Night Fever 2
-bash: lsb_release: command not found
:)
Already did and will be moving things to my desktop later tonight.
lsb-release
not found
it is lsb_release
just checked it
Welcome QS81
groovy: please show me the output of "uname -a"
groovy: what is the output  of: cat  /etc/issue
i told you it would :) aslong as you took your time and read everything in detail :D
QS81: sweet :)
Blackness: the learning curve with ubuntu is great but the satisfaction is oh so sweet once you do it.
sorry, i crashed
Amelia26: what is the output of:  cat /etc/issue
Linux LWEB06 2.6.16.60-0.54.5-default #1 Fri Sep 4 01:28:03 UTC 2009 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
its a SLES sp10
Yes i know..this is why i love linux in general..fixing stuff is fun and Very rewarding..
whoaa
Amelia26: why are you asking in #ubuntu then ?
now I get to retweak everything to how I want it in 12.10 but that's a small feat considering.
looking for recommendation on how to replace unity with something else like gnome shell?
Amelia26: or have I missunderstood what you are asking for ?
later all and thank you muchly!
QS81, i have my own custom setup.sh just for things like that ;)
ubuntu people are helpful :)
axisys: instal gnome-shell package from the repos, log off and change the sessio
sles ppl are... is there any sles people ?
hello fellas/femmas, i tried to do apt-get update and i get this error: http://pastie.org/5409667
Amelia26: we only support ubuntu here, helpful or not
Amelia26: so are suse people, we don't support suse here, use the opensuse channel
ActionParsnip: thanks
danke
axisys: you change session with the ubuntu logo near your username ;)
Hi...12.04 LTS.  I have a keyboard with two SUPER(windows) keys.. Can I disable the left super key only?  Thanks.
and now i have been kicked from BT's chan because they said i was spamming as this is a ubuntu issue not a BT5 issue...
webnet: you are using backtrack
i did install a few custom themes
webnet: it's not an ubuntu issue, you are using backtrack
yes i am but ive just been kickbanned because its an issue with ubuntu not BT5
webnet: i'd take it up in #freenode then
thats what i was told that support for this kind of error should be asked about HERE
not there
webnet: you where told you had installed an EXTERNAL repo
then they kicked me fore continuing to ask]
webnet: that means it is not software provided by backtrack OR ubuntu
xangua, what do i do after that?
ActionParsnip: gnome-shell pkg asking gdm or lightdm.. since I am planning to replace unity, should I choose gdm?
so you need to deal with a.) the people who maintain the repo b.) backtrack to get support / intergration
yes one repo for a git toollkit which has nothing to do with the dependancy issue ikonia
axisys: you can use either, lightdm is the default in Ubuntu
webnet: ok - so nothing to do with ubuntu
ActionParsnip: thanks
muji: you have the key in your paste and now you have the command to add it :)
backtrack to get compatability and the repo maintainer to fix any repo problems
ikonia: nice pun
ikonia no it is a ubuntu issue as LibreOffice is a UBUNTU package
okay so i just run it? sorry i havn't been on linux in a while
webnet: it's not an UBUNTU repo
webnet: its also a Mandriva package and a Suse package and a Puppy package....so what
webnet: and installing ubuntu software on backtrack is NOT an ubuntu issue
webnet: so please - drop it from this channel
i didnt install from a repo ikonia
take it back to #backtracklinux and tell them the information
so where should i go for help then ActionParsnip
muji: easy as pie :) sudo apt-key adv --recv-keys --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com 40976EAF437D05B5
webnet: ok - well, it's still not an ubuntu problem
* Sazzo murmurs....some of us can use help. :)
ikonia ive been banned
from bt's chan
hi
webnet: i'd reinstall wih Ubuntu and use that, you will then find things are a lot nicer
not #ubuntu's problem
Hi...12.04 LTS.  I have a keyboard with two SUPER(windows) keys.. Can I disable the left super key only?  Thanks.
webnet: you where kicked, not banned
Killswitch: add them as you do in /etc/resolv.conf  in /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/base
actually you where banned, my mistake
xangua, i did it, and than i got this: http://pastie.org/5409688
ikonia it wont let me rejoin... i get an error your are not allowed to connect to this channel
does Flannel still come in, not seen that name for ages
jeez.. so change your IP and nic and go back in
webnet: talk to the operators, either way, you've had more than enough offtopic help now
Sazzo: please don't tell people to evade bans
ikonia, well the offtopic crap went on far too long :/
 Cannot join #backtrack-linux (You are banned). ikonia
webnet: right, you were banned. That doesn't change the fact that it isn't an Ubuntu problem.
webnet: I know - you've said, we can't help you here,
wifi / sony vaio - at the minute i dont see my wifi networks in ubuntu.is there anyyhing  i can check to see if the wireless hardware is working
Sazzo: and it's ended now
muji: looks good ;)
webnet: can you see a pattern forming?
network icon -> edit network connections ->
fine i guess ill live with a broken system since no one is willing to help. thanks guise
ok, bye
webnet, hit a forum.. cya later
question: I'm installing ubuntu server for web-hosting purposes. How much disc should I ddedicate for the OS?
dedicate*
is there a commandline that should tell me if wireless hardware is recognized and on
and than when i run apt-get update i get this error: http://pastie.org/5409693
Heather_: if you aren't comfortable in the CLI pure, use the desktop OS
Heather_: you need to do a sizing exercise
not ask randomly, it's your system
doomlord: sudo lshw -C network
i'll try that; i've also just clicked settings->network; i see it says "wireless -> unavailable"
xangua, and than i got this: http://pastie.org/5409693
airplane mode was on
(my vaio's hardware wireless switch is defintiely on)
12.04 LTS..desktop..Unity..  I have a keyboard with two SUPER(windows) keys.. Can I disable the left super key only?  Thanks.
doomlord: try:  sudo rfkill unblock all
muji: mmm weird
Sazzo: sure
ActionParsnip, lshw - says "*-network DISABLED \n description: Wireless interface .... "
xangua: lol yea usually i can fix errors my self and learn, but this one has me stumpt
ActionParsnip, any idea how?  I've looked in the kb settings and it doesn't specify....will i need compiz to do this?
ActionParsnip so the server version I've downloaded does not have a desktop?
Heather_: you need to do a LOT more research
ActionParsnip, - thanks that helped - i see more now..
okay
Heather_: no its all comand line
you appear to have just rushed in without doing any checking of what you are doing, what you are getting and how to do what you want
Heather_, I aree with ikonia .. FYI there is nothing wrong with making your server in a desktop install. you can always disable the gui stuff once you achieve your server goal(s).
if I'm running 64 bit ubuntu, I don't need the generic-pae kernel, do I?
ActionParsnip, - thanks - for future reference , what did rfkill unblock all do ? now i think i remember i might have actually disabled something (where i can't remember) to get rid of connection popups :)
DrManhattan: no
Sazzo: is this what you ultimately want: http://askubuntu.com/questions/105558/how-do-i-disable-the-super-key
doomlord: does what your switch should do, just in software
im a complete newbie i managed to get ubuntu 12.10 server up and running.. i havent got to the point of using a remote to ssh in yet but thats the next goal step at a time....
ActionParsnip, sort of.  I did find that page but it didn't specify which super key.
i can say i found alot help here thou as i learn
DrManhattan: install the 64-bit kernel
ActionParsnip, I might just yank the key out :)
Sazzo: i guess
Sazzo: each key makes an event ID, the keys are unique
xangua: i tried this and it worked: http://pastie.org/5409712
ActionParsnip, I am aware.. just gotta find where that specific key assignment is being passed from.
Thanks.
doomlord: could add it in /etc/rc.local above the 'exit 0' line if it's still needed after a reboot
Sazzo: run:   xev    and press each key
tf2 isn't too shabby
ActionParsnip, yes,.. but if I do, then what can I do result?
can i do with the result?
Sazzo: let me see
no rush man
help others out
Sazzo: seems you can use xmodmap to map it
does anyone know how i can check wheather i have encrypted my home folder or not?
Sazzo: here is one for caps lock, could be useful
Sazzo: http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/4378
ActionParsnip, yep there are enough clues there.. thanks.
RamchandraApte, yeah im installing off of the 64 bit alternate and I noticed it offers me generic-pae
wow.. I got soo used to unity.. needed to come back to it.. lol
axisys: me the opposite
now I just need to find a way to roll through the active sessions like stack of cards instead of zoom out to a grid like tiny views with alt+tab
hey whats the command that shows you when something breaks what broke
whats the GUI nowadays?
DrManhattan: for what?
default ubuntu GUI
unity
DrManhattan: Gnome + Compiz + Xorg + Unity Shell
ActionParsnip, Jesus Christ
DrManhattan: what/
* DrManhattan basically quit using linux gui around the same time as gnome3
the closest I would get now would be some kinda ncurses app
DrManhattan: if you replace unity shell with gnome-panel  that is what it used to be......
nah I've tried out gnome panel
it just aint the same
DrManhattan: xfce has the gnome2 smell
there's nothing that compares to win7 and osx for GUI in linux. its not even close anymore
buenas
DrManhattan: in your opinion
necesito ayudad
necesito ayuda
ActionParsnip, of course, which is what it is
DrManhattan: thats fine
but I don't really mean it in a fanboy way. I miss being able to use linux on desktop
?
whats the command to veiw the log that shows broken things
DrManhattan: looks aren't important to me. I love how I can do full web browsing, media playback, cd burning and DVD playback for 3Gb space and 240Mb RAM :)
ActionParsnip, yeah, I need GAMES
hell, I need PDAnet
DrManhattan: urban terror, penumbra, all the humble bundles
you can use wine to play windows games
DrManhattan: steam is in beta
lol
DrManhattan: doom3 runs native as well as others
cmon guys, im talking battlefield 3, Skyrim, GTA4 here
ActionParsnip, opengl stuff. Yeah.
DrManhattan: http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=13667
back when I played counterstrike a lot I used linux and wine
I got way better framerates
DrManhattan: http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=22316
DrManhattan: still runs
DrManhattan: world of warcraft gets better frames under wine
Additional notes:
Running on Low and Medium settings, High and Ultra ended up being to too choppy with my current hardware)
DrManhattan: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xQFBK1yNIxE :)
Ihave a gtx570
DrManhattan: congrats
penumbra is well worth the money, great survivor fps
the vid shows linux as having 1/2 the framerate on wow but still, nice
wait, never mine
mind
DrManhattan: yep :)
DrManhattan: personally if i 'needed games' I'd get a console which is designed for that task and use the PC for the bigboy work
I use it for both
i like the separation, makes sense
and you're not going to do much professional level video editing or audio production in linux
DrManhattan: there was one that won awards recently
DrManhattan: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2012/09/oscar-winning-video-editor-lightworks-landing-on-linux-in-october
Welckom www.maghrebchat.ma chta and chat voice :) /server irc.maghrebchat.ma
Welckom www.maghrebchat.ma chta and chat voice :) /server irc.maghrebchat.ma
Welckom www.maghrebchat.ma chta and chat voice :) /server irc.maghrebchat.ma
DrManhattan: an oscar....can't be bad
DrManhattan: "Excited? You should be. Notable films edited using the software include .The King.s Speech. and .Hugo.."   still no good?
Lightworks isn't exactly strictly linux
DrManhattan: just because you don't know about it, doesn't mean it doesn't exist
how to remove broken packages?
DrManhattan: who said it hads to be specifically Linux. Its a native video editor for linux
Good for you :)
arinov: if you can give the output of:  sudo apt-get --purge remove packagename      pastebin the output please
DrManhattan: not going to do much professional level video editting in linux..... disproved. Absolutely
arinov: something like pastebin.ubuntu.com :)
ActionParsnip, its not in english
arinov: no worries, paste away
ok
arinov: use the pastebin and paste the whole text please
ActionParsnip, http://paste.ubuntu.com/1373996/
ActionParsnip, not disproved - but fanboy on :)
Maybe you can go find me big buck bunny or some cinelerra projects too :))
DrManhattan: I can just gve concrete examples of things to disprove what you say, not fanboying at all. Just pointing out incorrectness. There is a difference
arinov: is there a firebird server?
Hello!
arinov: sorry, channel
I installed Linux Mint 14 Nadia, based on Ubuntu 12.10. And I want to reconfigure gwibber with resetting everything.
But i cannot reset gwibber. How can I do that?
Emmanuel_Chanel: ask in the mint channel please
ActionParsnip, That's nice. Still not going to do much pro level editing in linux.
DrManhattan: i already gave you a link how that is incorrect, move on
ActionParsnip, That's nice. Still not going to do much pro level editing in linux.
If I take my problem for same as Ubuntu 12.10, what do you answer?
Emmanuel_Chanel: its not suported here
I know where Linux Mint channel is.
Emmanuel_Chanel: NONE of the 'ubuntu based' OSes are supported here
Emmanuel_Chanel: then why ask here
.
Where would one get help with Libre Office Spreadsheets?
I want to find answer with asking widely... :(
Emmanuel_Chanel: its not supported here
hey guys, just did full install of ubuntu and going to give it a chance, but seems like intel graphic didn't install fully
Emmanuel_Chanel: the support for mintg is completely separate to Ubuntu
ubuntu_noob: are you fully updated?
Emmanuel_Chanel: similarly, ubuntu is based on debian. If you ask for ubuntu support in #debian you wil be pointed here
yes, but under details graphic driver is unknown
ubuntu_noob: can you use a pastebin to give the output of:  sudo lshw -C display; lsb_release -a; uname -a; xrandr
ubuntu_noob: something like http://pastebin.ubuntu.com
Emmanuel_Chanel, maybe someone else will be able to help you reset gwibber. Hang in there, give it some time, and don't talk about mint :)
or just ask in the right place....
all that's pops up is (PCI)
ubuntu_noob: give it time, your pci bus is slow
Hey fellas, I was wondering if anyone had time to look at my question on server fault regarding Ubuntu?
http://serverfault.com/questions/450718/ubuntu-12-04-server-eth0-1gbps-nic-eth1-10gbps-nic-all-traffic-using-eth0
k, maybe problem is should of install 64bit instead......being i3 system
ActionParsnip, nope
ActionParsnip, but it was installed by ubuntu software center
indeed
here's the results http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/1374019/
ubuntu_noob: cool, and the rest of the command I gave, please :)
ubuntu_noob: you can scroll the terminal using the mouse pointer
arinov: are there any bugs reported?
I'm having difficulty getting the system to see a card reader with a memory card in it. It;s not showing up in the computer and I have looked in file Media and it's not show there neither
ActionParsnip, only my report
arinov: :(
Any suggestions welcome
brightsparks: if you run:  sudo fdisk -l    do you see the storage?
here's the whole thing http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/1374023/
ActionParsnip: let me just that...
Doesn't ubuntu repos contain non-free apps? (like amnesia)
ActionParsnip: yes I see it
xangua: I asked on #ubuntu-offtopic and they said ask on #ubuntu
brightsparks: can you manually mount it?
RamchandraApte: there are some nonfree (as in speech) apps, like flash
got more updates maybe after restart can have drivers
ActionParsnip: manually mount it? not sure. How would I do that?
brightsparks: what is the name of the partition?
For some times, flash was suck
blackshirt: not had an issue in all my linux days :)
ActionParsnip: it's /dev/sdb
RamchandraApte: https://apps.ubuntu.com/cat/applications/amnesia/
brightsparks: that is the device, you want the partition which will be /dev/sdb1   do you see /dev/sdb1 ?
ActionParsnip: yes   /dev/sdb1
brightsparks: sudo mkdir /media/SD; sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /media/SD -o rw,users,uid=1000
Bry8Star{EB: what file system is the SD card using?
Bry8Star{EB: what thing was it in last before you ejected it? A windows PC? Camera?
needing help
ActionParsnip, is there a way to remove package manually?
MrELusiveness: wassup?
how do i sign out off empathy?
arinov: could try:  sudo dpkg -r packagename
* DrManhattan puts his fists up in the air at ActionParsnip --cmon cmon put em up
ActionParsnip: it says: mount: you must specify the file system type
ill pastebin in a sec
http://pastebin.com/fmVi5VjY
there
how do i sign out off empathy?
Bry8Star{EB: what file system is the SD card using?
not sure how i fubared it but so far reinstall of ubuntu look slike only option

MrELusiveness: what is the output of:  lsb_release -sc
checking
ActionParsnip: it's  W95 FAT32 (LBA)
precise
i should have known that
:P
12.04
brightsparks: then run:  sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /media/SD -t vfat -o rw,users,uid=1000
MrELusiveness: and if you run:  apt-cache policy wine    what version is installed?
Can someone give me any idea on why my internet is sucking hardcore the past couple of days. I have no made any recent changes, and it is the only device that seems to have this problem
i have 1.4 installed but it says 1.5.17 as candidate
you should see what it says
ActionParsnip: yep. Thank you v much for your help.
MrELusiveness: you could run:  sudo apt-get upgrade   and get that, then delete ~/.wine  see if it helps
brightsparks: when you want to remove it, run:  sudo umount /media/SD; sudo eject /dev/sdb1
ive deleted the hidden wine many times
brightsparks: you will probably find it automounts then (graceful and proper removal) :)
nothign seems to fix it
purge everyting doesnt work either
ActionParsnip, isnt it /media/user/device?
brandon420: not for manually mounted :)
MrELusiveness: get the update then run notepad to make the folder. May help
oh okay. =)
ActionParsnip: got it. Thanks again.
can a signal handler can be set up to handle more than one signal type
how do i fix the lib and gnash? >>> http://paste.ubuntu.com/1374039/

<--knows he's butting in ...      around here it's more like updating from what
mrelusivness, like something with compiz??
WeThePeople, minimal custom kernel but all said it really isn't worth the effort
that line upgraded nothing
compiz is a real resource drain
WeThePeople: use LXDE or XFCE instead, they use significantly fewer resources
<---what he said , beat me to it
wel i ened to figure out what is causing that error and remove it
if i cant figure it out then its format time
I still have "WindowMaker" on a couple of minimal boxes
my wireless networking has suddenly become unavailable. lspci output: http://pastebin.com/phngi326

Hi! I'm not able to get x11vnc working after recent update. I've reconfigured DM for kdm over lightdm. x11vnc fails to start on the host system. Here are the past working and current failed attempts - http://paste.ubuntu.com/1367286/ . What am I missing in the command?
ActionParsnip, been , don , did that , burned the T shirt aand fffr :-?
ActionParsnip: that changed the Soft Blocked to no, still reads as hardblocked
its odd error
that is to say, it has only ever affected bluetooth, not the wireless
actionparsnip, http://paste.ubuntu.com/1374062/
i try google some more
MrELusiveness, cat /etc/sources.lst  and see if all are the same dist
_jam: try unloading then reloading the driver module

is the more specific term the "dickbar"  ?  I basically dont need these massive icons ... how to get rid of it?
MrELusiveness: read your own paste: 04:23 < WeThePeople> actionparsnip, http://paste.ubuntu.com/1374062/
is 4:3 aspect ratio better for reading ebooks or 16:9 aspect ratio ?
thats not mine
according to /etc/modprobe.d/iwlwifi.conf, iwlwifi should load one of iwldvm or iwlmvm
neither are loaded
delinquentme, just recently logged out/in and specified in options "ubuntu classic"
wethepeople posted that
read what you posted
MrELusiveness: then why is it on a line with your nick?
 its not
http://paste.ubuntu.com/1374062/
ActionParsnip: WeThePeople != MrELusiveness XD
read that link
attempting to manually modprobe either one of those modules results in module not found error
i used pastebin not ubuntu pastebin
kop, where are these options?
MrELusiveness: says lucid for that last link here
xangua: gotcha :)
here is the right link next to my name http://pastebin.com/fmVi5VjY
theres nothing in my paste indicating a release
delinquentme, http://jaderobbins.com/2011/04/hate-ubuntus-unity-use-ubuntu-classic/
or something like that
now either you are smokin too much of that stuff or not enough
lmao
it's in a PM also ..
MrELusiveness: he he in my defence it is 4:30am and I started work at 19:30 yesterday
oh ok
no problem i know you are just trying to help
MrELusiveness: I'll think i'll grab a coffee
MrELusiveness: trying but not succeeding :D
i was just making a joke cause you posted the link with the other guys name who posted it
ActionParsnip, you win today but that was much like my weekend

hello can someone help me with ssh? I want to set it up so I can ssh from outside my lan
http://pastebin.com/fmVi5VjY   ahem
rafase282: port forward port 22/TCP in your routr to the IP of the system running the ssh server
MrELusiveness: is that with wine 1.5?
can I forward multiple ports?
any of them
rafase282: sure
its liek a perma phuck
i have ssh, torrent client, and i want to use the internet
i had this setup log ago but i cant remember how to do it
ActionParsnip: can I pick your brains - whenever I return the memory card we just mounted to the digital camera the camera says the card is full and I have to remount and of course lose everything that was on the card. Any ideas?
brightsparks: did you unmount and eject it?
ActionParsnip: I meant to say I have to reformat it in the camera. I unmounted it as you suggested via the terminal yes
brightsparks: you could check the file system for errors. Do you have a windows PC around?
ActionParsnip: not at hand but later maybe - so check the file system on...?
I have problems with my flashplayer crashing. Does Firefox have a log which I might be able to use to find out more information about the problem? Where would this log be?
brightsparks: check the SD card is healthy. FAT32 isn't terribly robust
1.4 wine
ActionParsnip: I have had the same problem with using a different memory card.
MikeS11: can you pastebin the output of:   lsb_release -a; uname -a; dpkg -l | egrep 'flash|gnash|swf|spark'
ActionParsnip
MikeS11:  You could run firefox from terminal and see what appears in the terminal as the flashplayer crashes.
MrELusiveness: did you try upgrading to 1.5?
MrELusiveness: I'd ask in #winehq too
ActionParsnip: so you recommend mounting the card in windows and seeing if I have the same issue I take it that's what your saying? Guess I'll have to do that. Thanks.
ActionParsnip: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1374083/
brightsparks: yeah, see if you can check the file system for errors too. Remember to use the safe remove in windows too
ActionParsnip: right
ActionParsnip & usr13 : When I ran firefox from terminal - http://paste.ubuntu.com/1374084/
MikeS11: so, dpkg -l | egrep 'flash|gnash|swf|spark'   only outputs flashplugin-installer ?
oh man ive tried it all
no one seems to know how to fix it
ActionParsnip: Correct. I added in the firefox packages for bonus information.
and the worst part is i dont know how it got that way
MikeS11: uninstall flashplugin-installer  then enable the partner repo and install adobe-flashplugin package, may help
if there is a way to fix it would be betetr than format
MrELusiveness: are there any bugs reported?
ActionParsnip: Sure, I'll give that a shot.
no
but i did find where others had ran into the same issue
MrELusiveness: could try removing wine and the .wine folder, then run:  sudo apt-get clean; sudo apt-get install wine
MikeS11: One problem I see is: "Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS"  (You are behind on updates, it should be Ubuntu 10.04.4 LTS).
some how corrupting stuff
i did that and with a purge too
purge every ver
and still no change
I'm trying to install a game but when I do 'sudo sh game.run' or 'sudo bash game.run' it returns this. ' ./setup.sh: 192: ./setup.sh: /home/leviathann/.setup4849: not found'
MrELusiveness: if you run notepad instead of the winecfg app, is it different
ActionParsnip: That last comment may be an error on my part. I guess that designation reflects the install point.
nope
ActionParsnip: Right?
usr13: not wholly sure, sorry
iam starting to think my hd is cursed
leviathann: why are you running a game with sudo?
Why
MrELusiveness: try making a fresh ubuntu user, log in as that and retry as that
eeek
Compile
there is something screwed up at root lvl
MrELusiveness: its worth exploring
and iam not sure how cause its not like i can log in as root
MrELusiveness: you don't have to, nor should you
yeah this is very odd
it happened after i did some make's from source
MrELusiveness: just run:  sudo adduser test      set a password for test, log off then log in as test with the password you set
ActionParsnip, as per these instructions https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EnemyTerritory
yeah but if the error is root lvl it will effect all usr accounts new and old
iam going too look at the google again and see if anyone came up with a fix
ActionParsnip: hrm No good. Perhaps a different version of firefox
I have better things to look at ...

simplew: what we you rather?
Uninstall i
It
nikozzzzzz: its useful for logging in....
ActionParsnip: i would prefer to unity-greeter to keep the purple background instead changing to the same background as my user account
simplew: let me search
simplew: what is the output of:  lsb_release -sc
ActionParsnip: im using quantal

simplew: http://www.faqforge.com/linux/set-lightdm-wallpaper-that-is-independant-of-the-users-wallpaper-ubuntulinux-mint/
hi everyone
hi Mephistophilus
ActionParsnip: i cant find wheres that purple background, isnt in /usr/share/wallpapers
simplew: could just download one from the web
im having issues portforwading the transmission web interface
rafase282: are you firewalled?
rafase282: router or OS
if I am it would be the router only
the port is 9091
i forwaded it but when i use my domain or the public adress it does not work
rafase282: ping the client from the host and vice versa
only with the internal adress
sorry, can you resend that, or pm me
my internet is being retarded
hey
hay
how i can to register there
?
./ns register email passwd
./ns identify pass
ActionParsnip: no idea what script triggers unity-greeter background change when changing user background?
simplew: no idea, skinning lightdm is at the bottom of my worries, its on the screen for about 2 seconds so I don't care. It could be flat and grey and I'd still just log in and go
is there a universal live usb creator for ubuntu?
its weird
from the host i can ping it
ar9: unetbootin as well as ubb-creator-gtk
from the mobile network it wont do it
but i can ssh to it
rafase282: maybe the mobile network blocks pings
i think it was able to ping it before
rafase282: ok, ssh tunnel to it
but regardless, im trying to use the hostname from the host
so instead of using the local adress I use the public one or the hostname
but it only works with the local adress
rafase282: the host name will not resolve to your WAN IP unless you add it in your system's hosts file
rafase282: you need to check the port forwarding in the router
I did, and it has the right port
so how do I add my new host to my sistem?
rafase282: I can connect to your IP
rafase282: obviously I don't have credentials
??
you connected to my router?
rafase282: I did a whois on you and it gave a hostname. I then SSH'd to it and got asked for credentials
./ns register bblkpp@yahoo.co.uk
AnOnqwq: I'd ask in #freenode for registering help :)
You scared me there for a moment
rafase282: I can't get in, I don't have an account. But I hit an SSH server
I can connect from outside the network, yet transmission will not work from outside the network
yeah I have it running
does it matter the port for it?
rafase282: how do you mean 'will not work'?
rafase282: tunnel via ssh
rafase282: what are yu trying to do with transmission?
well im trying to use an app from my phone to send .torrent files to my server at home so it can download the torrent without me having to do it from my server
rafase282: I do the same, did you enable the web UI?
so currently i am unable to do it unless im on the lan
yes
rafase282: and what port is it using?
it was working before i had to restart the server
but idk what am I missing this time
rafase282: you are looking to setup a PPTP VPN
9091
rafase282: then match that port in the port forwarding the same way you setup SSH
idk how to set a vpn
i was using ssh for updating and stuff
samba for file sharing
and transmission-cli with the web ui
rafase282: http://darrynvt.wordpress.com/2012/03/23/setup-l2tpipsec-vpn-ubuntu/
rafase282: you can use SFTP which you get with openssh-server and access your data from anywhere
thats the guide i used to setup my vpn
it worked 100%
the port match tho
hello
rafase282: have you configured any firewalling on the server?
does anybody know about mactime command from tsk?
I dont know the commands for transfering files like that
Action, no
rafase282: nautilus can do it, no need for 'commands'
My security must suck
rafase282: you have a router so you'll be fine
well the whole thing is to acces my files away from home
my own cloud
rafase282, check your pms
the server is with arclinux-arm tho
rafase282: tried changing the port number then resetting up the port forward?
my desktop with ubuntu
but i use my android phone more often to pass files around
rafase282: so how is this an ubuntu issue if the server is arch?
ActionParsnip: :)
Action, it is not a OS issue
the thing works on a local network
rafase282: but this channel is OS specific
well Im talking from an ubuntu machine from which im testing and can only acces with the local ip instead of the public ip, does that counts?
rafase282: the server OS is arch
rafase282: if you are having issues with the server then ask in the arch channel
ok
hello
some help thr plz
Greetings.
* cousin_luigi recently upgraded from precise to quantal and now the hard disk is rather noisy on startup.
Anything new in the controller module or is it an upstart vagary?
nothing ive ever heard about cousin_luigi .
I see.
some help
gud morning :)
upstart laumches services in parallel when it can. like it always has
i will mention  that ive found hard drives to be the weakest link in the hardware of a system
dr_willis: I'm aware of the issue, but it's otherwise functional.
ive seem them die without any real warning ;(
a hd suddendly making lots of noise would be so mthing to definatly keep an eye on
The close correlation between upgrade and noise makes me wary of that.
It's not the usual clicking sound when the voice coil is starting to fail.
i am assuming the big boy talk will lead somewhere interesting?
some one cam give me a help plz?
AnOnqwq:  state the problem and see who can help.
me i use the ubuntu "anonymous-os 01
http://pastebin.com/fmVi5VjY
and i want to know more abot the os
WE WILLS EE IF ANYONE HAS A CLUE ABOUT MY PROBLEM
oops sorry about the capos
http://pastebin.com/fmVi5VjY
ive never  heard of  'anonymusOs' i imagine its som e ubuntu variant thats NOT supported by this channel.
huh?
anonymous OS
AnOnqwq: isnt that BSD based?
I thought it was the one with tor and all that jazz.
where you seing that?
kaos.theory's Anonym.OS LiveCD is a bootable live cd based on OpenBSD that provides a hardened operating environment whereby all ingress traffic is denied and all egress traffic is automatically and transparently encrypted and/or anonymized.
But probably ubuntu based.
MrELusiveness: take it to #wine
AnOnqwq: that ^
they dont knwo either
lol
MrELusiveness: take it to #windoz
thx very much
lol
bbl
AnOnqwq: its a question, is that what you mean?
and I am in winehq
is stabile or have trojan?
AnOnqwq: then how is that Ubuntu? 1. It's not Ubuntu 2. It's not even Linux, It's BSD....so why ask in a channel which ONLY supports Ubuntu?
sorry but i dont know that
im new and i want to learn ubuntu
AnOnqwq: try on of the bsd channels
AnOnqwq: then install Ubuntu if you want to learn Ubuntu....
AnOnqwq:  start by using ubuntu then?
AbyssOne: why are you grabbing Anonymous OS which isn't Ubuntu, when you want to learn Ubuntu...it makes no sense at all
gone
I can't think of something more wrong, asking for BSD support in an ubuntu support channel
asking for relationship advice in #foreveralone   :0 More wrong....
haha
* dr_willis just made up #foreveralone  i dont evne know if its a channel on freenode. ;)
dr_willis: it can be ;)
oh yea. a support question. if ones runs xbmc. has anyone else noticced it disabling the second monitor? seems to turn off twinview here for me, it used to run properly on monitor #2
dr_willis: the beta?
frodo?
not used xbmc in ages. I use vlc + web UI + android phone :)
frodo is not ready for prime time
i dont think its the beta. i dont  think i got the ppa enabled
cable=120US, xbmc=free, :)

i took the 'cross-over' deal, nice app
where is wobbly windows hidden in 12.10?
underk: you didnt say 'wine' at first
lotuspsychje: install compizconfig-settings-manager
but cross-over seems nice indeed.
the ccsm tool can break things.. be carefull with it
dr_willis:ive installed ccsm, didnt find wobbly windows on 12.10
lotuspsychje: run:  dpkg -l | grep compiz | grep plug
hi all
may be extra plugins.. i find wobly windows the sort of thing best frogotten
wobbly windows? why?
lotuspsychje: then run:  apt-cache search compiz | grep plug     see what is different

underk: irssi and pidgin here
Can someone help me fix my dns?
almoxarife:  well, had a couple kernel panics today
 i tend to use weechat
almoxarife:  not sure if it's related
brandon420: you can set nameservers in /etc/network/interfaces too
ActionParsnip, what would i set them too?
brandon420: fix what?
i can use irc
ActionParsnip:you think its in compiz-plugins-extra ?
brandon420: whatever you like, you could use 8.8.8.8 if you desire
but the actual internet is really unstable
didn't know irssi, that  seems cool !
brandon420: the (nm) applet will allow you to set your own DNS
lotuspsychje: try it, it's free :)
lol ok tnx
almoxarife, does it matter what i set it to?
does irssi have a gui?
no
almoxarife: it runs in a terminal
Hello noob question : is there anyway to configure " rar " to rar files without compression "-m0 " using the right click context menu not with commands ,, i know how to do it with command " rar a -m0 "
almoxarife: pidgin has a gtk gui
xchat <3
irssi and weechat are text/ncurses based type interfaces
brandon420: no, but it would help if it actually dishes out dns
MaGeD_: you can use nautilus-scripts to do that type of thing
so i could run irssi in my gui cli?
almoxarife: sure, you can have a tab, or a separate terminal running IRSSI
almoxarife:  you cantoma  run terminal apps in a terminal. ;) yes
i will stick with konversation
ActionParsnip : Thanks , will google that
almoxarife: irssi is handy if you are at work and can ssh to your system :)
ActionParsnip: not me, i would ssh to the home makina and run something in a gui, terminal is scary
almoxarife: not really
scary is people who dont want to learn .;)
almoxarife: you'll run issi then type:  /connect irc.freenode.net
almoxarife: and you can switch nick and join channels..
znc and screen are handy tools to go along with irssi and weechat
almoxarife, thanks man
that worked.
set it to 8.8.8.8
how is 'fish' diff from 'sftp' , i noticed the option on dolphin, so i set it up, i dont see a diff within dolphin between the two
brandon420: time for the next phase, a nice dns cache with filtering, dnsmasq?
what does that do?
brandon420: it stops evidoers from invading the web browser
http://ubuntu.com
brandon420: the cache remembers recent pages you visited, so you dont have to go to a dns server again, the filtering is a matter of taste, what dont you want to have the browser open?
hay fiend ..
almoxarife: also if you put web cache in tempfs you get a pretty slick web connection :)
almoxarife, that sounds a bit extreme for my needs
lmao
my internet at home is fine
my sisters makes me want to jump off a cliff
ActionParsnip: explain that, how what where? you are over my head
anyone have some "steam://install" commands for some steam games? the list of games available is empty but i can install if i know the commands
almoxarife: what browser do you use?
ActionParsnip: two, chromium and rekonq
thanks
ActionParsnip: mostly rekonq
almoxarife: if you look in ~/.cache  do you see a folder for chromium?
ActionParsnip: yes
almoxarife: what is the folder name?
chromium
almoxarife: close all chromiums and run: sudo mkdir /run/chromium ; sudochown $USER:$USER /run/chromium; rm -r ~/.cache/chromium; ln -s /run/chromium ~/.cache/chromium
almoxarife: basically it makes a folder under /run and makes it owned by your user, then symlinks a new empty folder to the tempfs.
almoxarife: the folder is lost at reboot (clears temp cache) but your RAM now holds your temp internet files. If they are used then they will load from RAM (faster than your crappy HDD)
almoxarife: also, if you use an SSD, it reduces wear as you are not writing temp web guff to the SSD, prolonging life
ActionParsnip: i got it, i will try it with rekonq, thats the one i mosty use, chromium i use for business only these days
almoxarife: same bag, make a folder
almoxarife: I have the comamnds in /etc/rc.local so that the folders are recreated on bootup
ActionParsnip: is the diff apperciable?
appreciable
almoxarife: should be. why waste time writing to HDD the to RAM :)
almoxarife: what keeps the cache one from getting re-wrote?
ActionParsnip: that was for you :)
* dr_willis wonders how the changes  to /run/ survive a reboot.. or did i miss somthing
the /etc/rc would
* dr_willis rereads 
dr_willis: yes, you missed it

So I have a funny question.  My washer & dryer talk over a serial port, and I've been thinking about some kind of device to sit between them and monitor the communication so that I could text or email when the washer is done.  Does anybody know of a device that allows snooping a serial connection?
I have a question about how links are loading applications
Links from browsers
ServerSage: want to text the washer or the dryer?
ServerSage:  sounds like a good job for a raspberry pi  ;)
adknight87: thats a good question, i think chrome/chromium depends on xdg, konqueror depends on mimetypes(not totally sure) , rekonq(beats the hell out of me)
Okay so I've been working on xdg-open
adknight87: imagine that :)
Lol
Anyways I have a wine application that can launch with a protocol link attached to it.
But when I set up the x-scheme-handler I'm not sure what I'm doing
adknight87: you sure it does not already exist out on the internet tubes?
I know it works half way because it brings the application to the front but it doesn't open the link as if I were to type the whole command into terminal
This is my last resort
Nothing explains the exec= "my file" __ <--- example %u

The only thing I came close to anything like the application I'm using is steam
adknight87: you might try ##linux, but they will require more info than you provided here
alright brb
how to set the DNS IP permanently ?
SpaceRocket: via the 'networkmanager' applet
almoxarife, I did but when I verify that I'm using OpenDNS it fails
SpaceRocket: i dont know what you are trying to do, you asked a question and i gave you the simple place to make the entry
tracert?
almoxarife: a lot of ACPI ERRO in the kern.log. Would it have anything to do with these crashes?
matcouto: no idea, but it cant be good to see alot of those errors
adknight87:  ive seen the %u and other variables defined in some gnome docs.  nautilus scripting info perhaps.
think you can point me to them
nope.... on my phone.
xD
Thanks
adknight87: the %u is something that is picked up from source app, if that makes sense
almoxarife: I want to text me when they talk to each other.  :)
dr_willis: Thats the plan, I have one sitting on my desk.  Just need the hardware to do it.
adknight87: http://standards.freedesktop.org/desktop-entry-spec/desktop-entry-spec-latest.html
ServerSage: if you can tap in between then run wireshark,
 %u ciuld be url    ie a path to a file. or http://  type thing
Suppose to work then but it doesn't
almoxarife: Thats the bit I'm unclear about, how to tap in.  Is it enough to just put a connector in the middle?  Or do I need a box to read it?  I'm not much of a hardware guy.
ServerSage: is it ethernet line?
almoxarife: Serial
almoxarife: Ethernet would be simple.  :P
ServerSage: i am not sure, you sure we are talking washer and dryer?
almoxarife: lol.  Yeah, it's a washer and a dryer.  When the washer finishes it passes what was in the washer on to the dryer.  So if you have the washer set to blankets, the dryer gets set to blankets automatically.
yo can anyone help me with remote veiwing?
almoxarife: I'm hoping to exploit that and when it sends the info also fire a text to me or the wife saying, "Hey, washer is done.  Go put the clothes in the dryer you lazy bugger!"
etag_: give us more details
i have a vps that is running 12.04 and i would like to use a remote desktop
ServerSage: some samsung appliances can do that ;)
i'm trying the xrdp but i get 'failed to load session ;ubuntu'
i'm useing win7 btw...
any ideas?
dr_willis: Unfortunately I don't have a samsung washer/dryer.  lol.  I'm pretty sure the wife isn't going to buy a new washer/dryer just to get this.  Thought it'd be a great task for the pi though.
etag_: ssh and x forwarding would be easier to get going
ServerSage: this is talking out my xxxxxx, if its serial then you need to receive the serial and then send it as received to the dryer :), meanwhile you would need something to send the received serial to txt, no idea how you are going to splice in though
ok...i have ssh...what is x forwarding? and the issue is that i don't do very good at ssh
almoxarife: You're actually a genius, the answer was right there and I totally missed it!
which is why i would like the remote desktop
ServerSage: genius, yeah, thats me
almoxarife: Two serial ports on the pi, one that reads from the washer, the other than feeds the dryer.  The pi just acts as a relay between them, and sends the text/email.  Brilliant!
almoxarife: I was making it WAY too complicated.
run app on server... see it ls gui on local box   is x forwarding  basically
ServerSage: yes, thats what i said, :)
so is there another way? or what do i need to do?
is there a way to make system handle gracefully OOM?
like it kill the processes that are not crucial
almoxarife: lol.  Thanks for the kick in the brain.  Much appreciated.
wait? what?
ServerSage: welcome :), say hi to the washer for me
talking about server now but it's generally linux wide
etag_: install xming on windiws. install sshserver on the server
almoxarife: The dryer may get jealous.
true, dryers are touchy that way
Got ndiswrapper setup and found a driver for my chipset (Dell 1704 ...). Now when I load that driver (.inf) via ndisgtk, ndiswrapper -l says 'driver intalled, device (...) present', but when I modprobe ndiswrapper nothing happens (regarding iwconfig) and the kernel log tells me that ndiswrapper could not prepare and subsequently load the driver.
server has ssh
I'm sure there is a line about dryers and women there, but I'm not touching it.
ServerSage: wh do you want to know what the washer is saying?
What next
so get xming?
why
almoxarife: I don't need to know *what* it is saying, just that it is saying something.  That way, when the washer talks to the dryer I know it's time to move the clothes from the washer to the dryer.
etag_: err  .. yes...
ok...then what...once i have it...
ServerSage: got it, makes sense
ServerSage: that should make it easier
almoxarife: Sounds silly, but our washer/dryer are in the garage, and even at it's loudest we can't hear the buzzer.  And of course we forget all about it.
etag_: install it.. read its docs.. run it.. cinnect to server
ServerSage: got it, i am guessing a wind up alarm clock would not be an option
almoxarife: How very 1980 of you.
too steampunk :)
hour glass...
almoxarife: Why solve a problem with a $3 clock when I can solve it with a $30 pi and a $700 cell phone?
anyone know why my galaxy nexus isn't transferring files?  it's connected "as a camera", and nautilus can see and thumbnail the files, but I can't transfer them
ServerSage: if you would, please share the conversation the washer had with the dryer when you violate their privacy
almoxarife: I'm expecting sweet nothings.  "Mmm, baby, I'm so wet."
ServerSage: easy, its a moderated forum
hook the buzzer wires to a wireless dorbell....
almoxarife: Washers get wet, no denying it.
ServerSage: Or a photoelectric sensor over the neon indicator
okay so I've had the right idea but what does it look like when I click on a link say custom://special/link
tf198: Already thought of that.  The indicator comes on at different times throughout the cycle.
ServerSage: Doh!
ServerSage: i like it, its a off the wall idea that might sell someday
Thanks btw for whoever that was linking me to the page
almoxarife: I'm pretty sure we'll see it built into washer/dryer setups in the not too distant future.  I'm sure my washer will have a more active twitter feed than me soon.
lol tweeting washer
gogeta: You laugh, plenty have done it.
ServerSage: the washer does not whisper sweet nothings at the washer while in the progress of washing? that could throw a wrench into the mix
at the dryer.......
almoxarife: That I won't know until I snoop on their conversation.  From the looks of it, it only happens when it finishes (based solely on the dryer turning on and saying "receiving info from washer")
ServerSage: i still think you are violating some EU law
almoxarife: Good thing I'm not in europe.
:)
ive seen serial port splicers with led  activity lights ages ago
there you go, ubuntu/android marriage, washer snooping
ServerSage: http://www.lammertbies.nl/comm/cable/RS-232-spy-monitor.html
tf198: You are a google god.  Do you know how long I searched to find something like that?
%u %U %f %F all don't work
ServerSage: 'wiretap rs232'
at an asus laptop i installed ubuntu 12.10 and not it only opens if i add the acpi=off as a kernel parameter, how can i detect which driver is causing the problem?
if its a 232 port
ok dr_willis can you tell me how to use this?
dr_willis: The instruction manual indicates it is, though they may use the term loosely.
i have it and it's installed...i read the docs but i'm not getting it..
etag_: use what exactly
how do i make it work? the xming
how to disable resolveconf and use specified DNS server?
run the xming wizard.. enter ip. have it run a gui app likr xterm
Thanks to all for the info, back to coding.
or gnome-terminal
ServerSage: why don't you just pick up the vibrations from the cylce? and time it that (if silent or still for X, text me (or, if buzzer comes on telling me "woha, somethings wrong/I'm done")) ?
it has startx would that work?
and time it...
etag_: run a specufic app like xterm......
ewook: Mainly because I have everything I need to do a serial snoop, I don't have anything for picking up vibrations.  But it's an idea.
oh ok...
ServerSage: do you have a moving knob, indicating that the cycle is done?
get thebasics working first..
ewook: Nope.
ServerSage: darn. then it would have been really easy.
it just closes and gives me nothing...
how do i get a protocol to launch a special url from a browser that the program uses like http
microphone to hear the buzz...
ewook: Indeed, unfortunately it's all electronic.
>.<
dr_willis: Meh, the serial port snoop is pretty simple given the cable tf198 sent the diagram for.  I think I'm set.
etag_: xterm is installed?
ServerSage: well, not really unfortunately :p. whack that washer open ;)
I mean from a browser link to program and program uses url to go where it needs to go
SpaceRocket: you tried changing dns at networkmanager?
ewook: I'm pretty sure the wife would take a bat to my cranium if I took a screw driver to the new washer dryer.  lol
almoxarife, yes I did
ServerSage: send her to a spa over the weekend.....
ewook: I like the way you think.
serversage: adriuno
hello
adknight87: Again, I'd have to buy the arduino stuff.  I have a pi.
hi, is there a way to return to factory-defaults in ubuntu?
SpaceRocket: and that did not work?
serversage: ooo
get a baby monitor so you hear the buzzer  in he back rooms... ;)
so do i use putty or the ssh
serversage: WHY aren't you doing anything fun with it
ServerSage: my warranty is soon out on my machines, so I'm wacking mine open and putting an arduino with xbee at the washer/dryer :p.
i have a problem with my ubuntu server it won't start and i can't found any log can you help me ?
adknight87: I thought washing machine monitoring WAS fun.
ewook: If I can get away without voiding my warranty I want to.  lol
serversage: if they can bluetooth cordless phones to pick up calls
Anyway, I really gotta get back to work.  Thanks for the conversation folks, you have lead me down a path that I'm sure my wife will hate.
ServerSage: does the toaster talk to anything else? always wondered what a toaster would have to say
A single URL. Local files may either be passed as file: URLs or as file path. <---- what's that mean exactly
almoxarife:  like the one on  'red dwarf' ? ;)
dr_willis: i used to watch that show too :)
dr_willis it's not doin it...
adknight87:   url path =  '/path/to/file' or 'file://path/o/file'
so
so thats what a file URL means exactly
Exec= "application" %u would execute as $ application url://link
hello
dr_willis: so this ----> Exec= "application" %u would execute as $ application url://link
toaster?
adknight87: are you dealing with url's or file extensions?
dr_willis help...it's not working...
almoxarife: I'm setting up a default application to open a link location for a program that is sort of like a browser
Anyone know how to fix this stupid package error everytime I use apt-get: http://pastebin.com/RHBNhejm
adknight87: ok, link should be url
bustacap, i'm sit on handheld devices, and can't look at your pastebin, sorry ... but maybe you want share here ..
almoxarife: when I run env WINEPREFIX="/home/jgfarnden/.wine" wine "C:\\users\\jgfarnden\\Application Data\\IMVUClient\\IMVUClient.exe" imvu://room/user/chatroom <--- it loads the page for the chatroom in the program off of terminal
Bustacap: try sudo dpkg --conigure -a
umm is there any other gui things other then xterm?
Bustacap: while I have never seen the error message you are getting, you can run fuser /var/cache/debconf/config.dat to check if another process is using that file
Ok kushal_k`
kushal_k`: nothing came up.
almoxarife: but I can't seem to get chromium-browser or ubuntu which ever the two when I make it launch from a browser won't open that link in the program
Bustacap: try sudo dpkg --conigure -a
gartral: tried. Just gives me the same error.
adknight87: so you want chrome to open url's imvu: with a wine app, that it?
bustacap, kill other process using it
almoxarife: YES! I can do it in terminal
hello?
hello etag_
blackshirt: there is no other process using it...
do you know any other things like xterm that i could run?
bustacap, sorry, i am not looking your error
etag_, sure, gnome-terminal ?
hello
i need help
is any one here to help me
yeah
inner_peace: Just state your issue in one line, include as many details as possible, and someone should be there to help.
almoxarife: ?
adknight87: yes?
almoxarife: YES! I can do it in terminal
almoxarife: But I can't get it to work with xdg-open
adknight87: i cant think of any thing that might help, sorry dude
almoxarife: it's cool xD xdg-open seems very vague to me
adknight87: that terminal line is all wine apps right?
almoxarife: no it's to the specific application ran in wine
2nd time:  does any have any idea how to connect Galaxy Nexus to Ubuntu?
qmr:  newer android devices need to use the mtp  tools i belive
i just use wifi.. its faster then a usb cable
...
ok i work with a red hat distribution and some one edit the fstab file with new mount under / root direct  after this redhat can not find file system
adknight87: that terminal line sets up a 'env' and executes a wine app with a url
i tried to edit the fstab file but it is read only ????
1)  yes, MTP.  great.  I already know that.  2)  I am very curious how wifi is faster than USB for you
adknight87,  it seems to work if you know the absolute path
dr_willis: your usb is broken then
adknight87: can you go about it via gconf? declare the url and command line to execute?
llutz:  no idea on hat. a 4gb movie was quickly copied.. plugging it in took longer..
inner_peace, even after reboot ?
dr_willis: then you are doing it wrong.
almoxarife: It is the absolute path to the program in wine. I can add on a link from a protocol the program it uses to go to a place in the programs browser. ie: imvu://whateverlink/ishere
inner_peace: sudo nano /etc/fstab
almoxarife: Yes and I've mocked the steam application way to launch steam:// links in the program
bdawood
qmr:  or its the old slow usb transfer bug again.. had it ages ago..
So Ubuntu is doing it wrong.  What a surprise.
is there actually steam for linux yet?
DrManhattan:  yes
DrManhattan: there is a beta
almoxarife: although when I go into gconf to see how steam does it there's nothing to mimic ther's no scheme
adknight87: this is all out of my scope, i run kde, no gconf, no wine, so i cant help
llutz , i try it but when i save it tell me this read only
curious - what games are available?
inner_peace:  remount your filesystem in rw mode
almoxarife: lol it's alright better to have suggestions then none at all so I'm thankful
inner_peace: mount|grep " / "
steam
xD was that a chat bot posting that?
adknight87: you could just start the wine browser that is set to start that app, bypass the linux chrome app
the !stuff are bot triggers adknight87
almoxarife: It's a messenger that has a some special 3d browser in it. on their home site they have links to public chat rooms that open up in the program from the website.
almoxarife: as in I click a link to a chat room in my chromium browser the messenger goes to the chat room
adknight87: does the windows chrome react to it correctly?
hi!
i've a question please.
i've a virtualbox server.
i've setup samba on it.
i changed the adapter from bridge to NAT.
i had to add an additional adapter with type host only adapter so that Windows host may access the ubuntu 10.10 server.
now samba can't access the shares i've setup on ubuntu.
what can i do?
almoxarife: I've got it to the point where it brings the messenger application to the front but nothing happens
adknight87: does it need to be chrome? what about a browser that can use mimetype?
almoxarife: Mimetyoes are global
almoxarife: I've tried application/imvu=IMVU.desktop
hamidi, you need to figure out your networking, sounds like
anyone know xming
almoxarife: that didn't work at all but then I do x-scheme-handler/imvu=IMVU.desktop and that works
but only partially
application is then brought to the front but nothing happens
adknight87:  i dont know about that, i have konqueror here following the mimetype rules, the other browsers do not, i have my own issue with a url(sort of) its actually aa file extention
kde does it differently I was just reading that over
adknight87: true, so we are back to apples and oranges
kde-open is what you use right?
adknight87: i use kde period!
almoxarife: wouldn't it nice if everyones stuff worked right?
adknight87: how boring :)
adknight87: i notice what chromium cant do on kde, konqueror can open so much more, yet i depend on chromium for actual business web
llutz: But of course we still have the fun bugs
is anyone here to help me ?
almoxarife: Question is what is xdg-open doing exactly to run the exec?
huhongxing: did you ask a question?
hi! i've a question please. i've a virtualbox server.  i've setup samba on it.  i changed the adapter from bridge to NAT.  i had to add an additional adapter with 'host only adapter' type so that Windows host may access the ubuntu 10.10 virtual server.  now samba can't access the shares i've setup on ubuntu.  what can i do?
hamidi: nat don't work xD
there must be a way, no?! :(
hamidi: you have to be on the same subnet
hamidi: same network
yeah
changing route table or something
:P
Hey i'm trying to use lsblk -o NAME,MODEL,LABEL,FSTYPE,MOUNTPOINT but the label column is emtpy even after I use a2label. any ideas wy?
hamidi: say it in the context , host/client, what is connected how?
isn't there a way to force samba to connect through an adapter to an ip which is not in the same network?
how do i remove the suid bit when running something in ubuntu?
hamidi: either nat or bridged should
hamidi: can you ping that address
sure
let me say the ips
host ip: 10.25.25.90
hamidi: jst go bridge and all problems are solved
guest NAT ip: 10.0.2.15
guest 'host only' ip: 192.168.56.102
i can ping 192.168.56.102 from 10.25.25.90 host
i see the samba shares also
but i just see the name of shares
and i can't enter into the shared folders
hamidi: check permissions
adknight87: i know that with bridge i won't have any problem as i didn't have before
does a2label work with lsblk?
i changed the bridge to nat because i need it to be nat
you figure a router would handle nat for ya
hamidi: the host has two ips?
errr, e2label
no the server is a virtualbox server
just a host with a virtual box
no router exist
the host yes has two ips
fail
xD
192.168.56.101 also
subnet it is then
subnet is 192.168.56.xxx
on everything?
didn't figure out what u meant, sorry
hamadi nat connection automatically configured
That's what I was thinking
it's handled by virtualbox
so what can i do?
yep
I was wondering if he knew that
in bridge you can change ip
i'm a newbie in linux a bit
but it must be of your router
:D
He has none
it's a internal network
like 192.168.0.xx
hamidi: one of the client connections should be 'bridged' to talk to the network, nat is at the mercy of the host configuration
yep
I don't see how it's going to work out if he doesn't have a switch or router
Maybe that loopback
adknight87: bridged gets dhcp from the router
He has no router
adknight87: oh
i told earlier
so he'd have to make himself a dhcp server from the virtualbox
nevermind everything i said
xD
what he is trying to do
?
you really don't need a dhcp server though
adknight87: thats running 'nat'
Sounds like he's running a local server for fun
hello
is he even still here
some people dont share the complete picture, for some reason :)
if he wants to run local server in he must switch to bridge
Hi, i'm using a framework that uses apt-get to install packages, one package fails the installation but i can't understand why. /var/log/dpkg.log shows nothing. Could you tell me where i can find any information?
all I see is redundancy
yes i'm here
no it's not for fun! :(
Like I said from the start
may i know the latex ubuntu version
BRIDGE the connection
hamidi: you are not behind a router?
does anyone recommend a music streaming package? one that streams to any OS?
compdoc: xbmc
kilz: use apt-cache showpkg
thanks
there's a router in class 10.25.25.xxx which acts as dhcp
hamidi how you are browsing the net
but it doesn't work for virtual server
hamidi: are you behind that router?
not the complete picture
hamidi: are you behind that router?
through routeror switch or etc
I'm amused
I don't know any router standard with that ip set up.
behind that router? what is it?
How do you connect to the internet hamidi
hamidi: where do you get dhcp?
hamidi you have router  they are asking
it's a router in the same network: 10.25.25.xxx
i think it's 254
we connect to internet by lan
by using cyberoam
and this is exactly why i change bridge to nat
virunga: how
kilz: did you read the man?
because i wanted virtual servers to see internet either
and have not to run crclient each
Bridge > Set up ip address with domains "8.8.8.8, 8.8.4.4" <--- those are googles dns servers
hamidi type ifconfig
because i've only one use which may connect to the internet at the same time and this user is connected through host already
and check you ip
k
hamidi: for the vbox(client) to see the internet usually one sets it 'bridged' , but you dont want to do that or do?
Hello, I'm running a live ubuntu cause I got "disk read error" trying to boot.  The drive shows up in BIOS (only at times) , but not in fdisk -l .. I assume since this happened since a breaker threw, the disk is dead? is there any other things I could try to 'bring the drive up' or mount it ?
ok ifconfig gives me the following ips:
eth1: 10.0.2.15
eth2: 192.168.56.102
not the guest i want for the host
lo: 127.0.0.1
oh u mean ipconfig?
	ifconfig <interface> <ip_address> [ netmask <netmask> ]
yea
hamidi you have hsot windows
10.25.25.90
192.168.56.101
hamidi: does the host belong to the network 192.168.56.xxx?
paste the whole?!
redundancy!!!
i give up
you are connet to 192.168.56.101
why is lsblk not showing my drive labels even when using -o LABEL
if you want a bridge connection in guest os ip should be 192.168.56.xx
why do u mean redundancy?!
I wonder if he switched to bridged network on his virtual machine
Name141-: sounds like the drive is toast
your real computer is hooked up to that cat5
so set that program virtual box to bridged network
i gave the reason i can't change it back to bridge. if so i'll lose internet for virtual server
Wait wait
So you are telling me that your physical computer has no internet
and your virtual machine does?
the physical computer has internet
so
CHANGE IT TO BRIDGE
no physical does have but virtual has no access to internet
and change the ip concurrent to the physical network you are attached to
the only way i may give the virtual servers internet is to share the host's internet via NAT
no
hamidi you want the internet access to virtual os
Bridged with dns servers set up
That's how you do
hamidi: or via bridged, unless the router does not allow you to connect, hence no internet
it's not directly connected
almoxarife: me too.  I can access the CD which is SATA, so I guess the SATA controller didn't fry.. and the NIC and video card works, etc
hamidi: so you want internet via 'nat' , because the host has internet
each mac must use user/pass to connect
and i've only one user
Hey hamidi do you have to sign in to use the internet before you browse
almoxarife: exactly
can i mount partition under root direct rather than / mnt  or   /media  is it applicable ?
adknight87: exactly
fail
hamidi: ok, so your host must offer up dhcp to the client(vbox) so that it can access the internet
hamidi so you have to use nat for that
inner_peace:  yiou mean mount it i / ?
inner_peace:  yiou mean mount it  to  / ?
the virtual servers may use NAT to access the internet, but in this case samba doesn't work
as you said you have to sign in before browse net
ya it will not work
dr _willis  yes exactly
smells fishy for people to sign into something just to browse the net
hamidi you want to aceess the sharefolder for host
if they use NAT, only one sign in which takes place at host is enough
inner_peace:  i dont think you just swap / around. you could do A Chroot
hamidi: samba , which is the samba host, the vbox or the actual host?
and the virtual servers won't need to sign in separately
adknight87:  my routers 'guest' feature does that
no! i need to access server's files in host
dr_willis: shush xD you would come up a netgear
hey i can't watch hd movie on my netbook, how can i convert the movie to play without lagging and loosing sound on the netbook
hamidi: so your vbox(host) is the samba host
that's it and i can't help
adknight87:  is a cisco i belive
hamidi you run server in guest and you want to access in host
Dr _willis   :you mean it isnt applicable
hamidi: is the vbox(host) firewalled?
dr_willis: I stand corrected
ya
sir-me:  winff, arista, ffmpeg, mencoder.. all can convert
hamidi: it's like hotel internet
i dont understand swap in your answer so please explain more
hamidi: is the vbox(host) firewalled?
junior: yes
inner_peace:   swap = swich = change out
the host in a windows which is installed in a physical machine
anyone here have source google bypass?
=))
the host is a windows which is installed in a physical machine
The only way I can see this network working is if he had a second router
hamadi you can acces the file in host but gust will not have inter net k
jus do wt i say
hamidi: host=machine running vbox, client=vbox os, which is the samba host?
client
hamidi change connection to bridge
i think its the host
hamidi: host=machine running vbox, client=vbox os, which is the samba host?
hamidi change ip->192.168.56.xx subnet 255.255.255.0
I'm getting proxy error when grabbing some packages
yes
bet it's on the client
i havent setted any proxy, any clue?
hamidi: its not a yes or no question
getway ->192.168.56.1
if i switch to bridge virtual machines lose access to internet
xD I'm laughing my arse off
not on your host
dr_willis : i know swap is a virsual memory  as i new with linux  but i will search on it  thanks
not?
you have to do the above step in guest os
hamadi
Makes me wonder if he's on his client right now
does anyone know of any package/applications/tools that will transcribe to text from Mp3? or other audio format?
how to create polls on launchpad team?
inner_peace:  i don mean mswap as in a swap partion. i mean 'swap' as in  the 'verb'   mesaning to 'change places with'
is there one?
oh i can't follow what u say. it's too crowded. i confused. how can we port to a better place?

rnamF: i didnt get an error, but i just went in via web
how do i set it to go via web
through terminal?
:)
rnamF: change your sources in your software settings
Set it to best location
what's the file? sources.list ?
rnamF: no, what i mean is that i just checked to see if the site was alive via the web browser, and it is

Hi, i'm using a framework that uses apt-get to install packages, one package fails the installation but i can't understand why. /var/log/dpkg.log shows nothing so is term.log. Could you tell me where i can find any information?
Deja vu
I wonder who the youngest person is here
its not me
Virunga: the install fails or the app fails to start?
almoxarife: the install fails, the app says apt-get returned 100
probably me
Someone ate the log, damn. :)
guys! i have HP elite 8200 with windows 7. i wanted to dual boot it with ubuntu 12.04
i did shrink the C: partition but when setting up partition in ubuntu the unallocated space says "unusable"
what's the problem?
DND: how many partitions do you have?
initially windwos has 4 partitions. 1 is C: the two others are 100mb each which is system partition hidden. then last is the hp recovery 8.7gb
DND: you can have a max of 4 partitions, change one into an extended with logical drives if you want to install ubuntu
DND: in your case that means to reinstall windows i guess
but this is new computer with preinstalled OS
i want to preserve windows and the recovery partition :(
welcome back dr_willis
so formatting the whole drive will solve this problem?
normally im on my znc server so you never see me leave. ;-)
then purchase another windows?
DND: change partition layout
guess I'm lucky today
Download same copy of windows use key that came with machine
im reading this one http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1686440
I'd have to say the recovery partition is for the drivers!
DND: unusable i believe means 'not formated to ext4' ,
almoxarife: unusable as in "unallocated space, but already 4 partitions present"
he could always backup the recovery partition
i need help
adknight87: lots of ways but he has to remove at least 1 partition
rsyslog not logging to /var/log/auth.log after upgrading from 10.04 to 12.04
strace of the forked process says Permission denied
So ubuntu doesn't like 5 partitions on one physical hard drive
log file is zunder root.adm ownership
adknight87: thats not a ubuntu-thing
hardware?
anyone?
what is wrong with an extended partion?
almoxarife: nothing, but he needs to change his parttion layout for that
adknight87, if all the partitions are mbr, its nothig to do with ubuntu
gparted?
adknight87: the MBR can not hold more than 4 (primary) partition-entries, thus the limitation.
you can use a gpt partition too
It's a cap
OH NOS!
Lol
compdoc: even than he will lose his data, or can you convert bios->gpt on the fly now?

oh, well no, he will lose his data if he tries

adknight87: you see the "extended" there? thats the way out of the limitation, 3 primary + 1 extended for logical drives
oh
adknight87: an extenden partition is a special kind of primary
hi
true :P
but is it a partition?

What's wrong with your laptop install stroodlepup
Sounds like a appetizer

almoxarife: I think I've had the most hard headed laptop to install ubuntu on
a friend of mine was installed linux on his asus k55vd laptop...
logging in auth.log stoped working after upgrade to 12.04
is it normal for rsyslog to run under syslog user
it suddenly became an overheating power hog...
and not having permission to write in auth.log
which is under root.adm ownership?
in strace it says permission denied
stroodlepup: in terminal run 'top' , what is the top process shown?
i wonder how that worked earlier before upgrade
hence 'top'
is anyone willing to help?
stroodlepup: use 'sudo top' just in case
the paste to bin app, whats it called?
I can't paste it
but let me explain...
-j16 does what exactly
i
thanks OerHeks
lmao
hlp
anyone?
newestnick: why do you think its not logging?
i can see
in empty log file
the problem is
it had 7 installed, and then we dual installed linux mint on it, thinking that it has faster performance and better battery use...
strace says permission denied on auth.log
newestnick: ok, empty is a good indication
the exact opposite happened
Thank you for who ever said top
rsyslog runnign under syslog user?
mint:)
and auth.log root.adm ownership 0640
always wondered how to get the process list with pid
wierd
how did it work earlier
5hrs batt life on 7 became reduced to half
stroodlepup: so the mint is acting up?
maybe. not so sure...\
we plan to install 3.2 pae
should i add syslog user to adm group and change to 0660 permissions
it would work the
it has 8gb of ram
stroodlepup: what did the mint-help channel people say?
but i don't know form the security side, if it's good
nothing! that's why I'm here :)
almoxarife: What kind of laptop did he say he have
stroodlepup: did you run 'top'?
yes
name the processes from the top, stroodlepup
stroodlepup: did you run 'sudo top' ?
lol
why is this so hard
ran htop instead...
great, whana share the info i requested?
it has no pae kernel, 8gb ram core i7 cpu
maybe this page is any help finding cpu usage > http://askubuntu.com/questions/68741/finding-cpu-usage-from-top-command
what operating system are you running stroodlepup?
stroodlepup: nevermind the hardware, the processes,
wait
wait?
still uploading it
ps aux | sort -r -k 3,3 | head -n 5 |pastebinit
almoxarife: if I'm thinking correctly his laptop has a beefy graphics card which is both the heat and battery problem
Like my laptop right now is at 183 degrees
adknight87: thats the problem with thinking! :) , i just wanted something simple, like the top processes, but its like pulling teeth
7no joins
wait
almoxarife: this place is like pulling teeth
u say that
adknight87: my lappy gets real hot when i play video, stream, but thats expected, the graphics is onboard

stroodlepup: There are reports of that Asus model having oveheating problems, have you confirmed the air outlets are clean, and that the fan is operating the same way with both Windows and with Ubuntu?
www.freeimagehosting.net/5mqwv
so no help with my logger :(
it does not do the same with win7
TJ, it seems that it only happens with linux
stroodlepup: OK, that indicates that the fan control probably isn't working as intended
acpi problems
logger
prob
acpi problems?
not a kernel thing?
some1
newestnick what about logger?
no luck
stroodlepup: Can you pastebin the result of this command? "ls -l /sys/devices/virtual/thermal/*/device"
here
can't already back to win7...
hmm
probably need to continue this tomorrow
I take that back his laptop is stubborn
stroodlepup: i got an idea, the os is mint, or win7, how about you allow #mint-help or #windoz a chance to fix your issue
stroodlepup: You would boot the laptop using a liveCD/ISO image
like i said, it was a ghost town, and it did not have problems with 7
almoxarife:  have any pointers for getting rid of the jagged edges
stroodlepup: install ubuntu
almoxarife:  makes my intel graphics look better
adknight87: what jagged edges?
tearing
I have tearing with my graphics
install proprietary drivers
intel graphics doesn't tear this bad
adknight87: streaming 1080p?
anything
moving windows
streaming 1080p lol
adknight87: anything?
everything
LOL
he is moving his windows can't u see
btw newestnick I have the beta drivers from amd
 can anyone assist me with my logger prob?
rsyslog doesn't log anymore to auth.log
rsyslog runs under syslog user?
is that normal?
adknight87: what DM you using?
'cause, auth.log is in root.adm ownership

when trying to log in
what should i do?
any suggestions
Hello. Where is the global settings in ubuntu? Everything I set up in gnome-control-center works only on gnome and unity.
adknight87: kde? gnome? what?
rsiska, what version of ubuntu
unity/gnome
bazhang: 12.04.1
no help for me???
Tearing is usually solved by enabling 'wait for vertical sync'
hmmmm
rsiska, are you referring to system settings? what did you wish to change
adknight87: with compiz?
bazhang: mainly disable touchap tap. Also in all other WMs (dwm, icewm, *box) Alt+Shift swtiches to Russian, which isn't in among my layouts...
almoxarife: yes yes lol I there was no tearing on the intel graphics on compiz
rsiska, did you have ibus installed? that sounds like ibus behavior
rsiska, let me check my system settings for the touchpad settings
adknight87: so use intel
According to apt-cache, I have ibus 1.4.1-3ubuntu1 installed.
almoxarife: doesn't play steam games on intel card
bazhang^
rsiska, so you may wish to disable that to avoid in future. as far as the touchpad settings under mouse and touchpad is where you would set it
adknight87: dont use compiz?
almoxarife: tried metacity still get tearing
adknight87: again, i am using kde, for light i use qtrazor
almoxarife: I don't think it's the window manager
bazhang: so, is it safe to uninstall ibus?
* almoxarife does not steam
rsiska, sure it is. or just disable it/change the enable hot keys
almoxarife: needs to
adknight87: That PC has dual graphics? Intel/AMD ?
TJ: Hybrid actually
TJ: And still working on getting the intel graphics to work correctly. the old drivers with the old kernel worked almost perfectly until I upgraded to 3.5 and everything failed.
i need help with graphics card (Intel Corporation Device [8086:0be2] (rev 09))
ubuntu
adknight87: Same thing, different terms :)   Have you configured the AMD/ATI driver to sync to vertical retrace? Apparently the catalyst driver has a specific option, too, something like "prevent tearing on desktop"
BrixSat, whats the specific issue. please be very clear
bazhang: no luck... I have ibus killed/uninstalled. When I open gnome-control-center other WMs, I can _see_ that touchpad clicks are disbled, but they aren't :(
bazhang:  i have xorg in low graphics mode
adknight87: also, for the hybrid issue, check out post #503 of this forums thread http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=12324761
TJ-: I've played around with v-sync and everything else
rsiska: Run gnome-settings-daemon. It will load those settings into X.
I know it's a issue
I've been following that thread forever
adknight87: OK... are there any clues in the /var/log/Xorg.0.log or ~/.xsession-errors logs?
gustav__, That was it! Thank you very much!
bazhang:  any help?
rsiska: Welcome, sir. :)
BrixSat, with what
bazhang:  with my graphics card that only shows low resolution
adknight87: Is the tearing on an internal LVDS panel, or external on HDMI, DVI or VGA?
BrixSat, what resolution are you getting, and what were you expecting; how old is that card
internel
bazhang: 1024*768 would expect 1360*768
8086:0be2 is GMA3600
bazhang:  my card has less than a year
BrixSat, and the second half of my question?
TJ-: There's a link problem but I've solved that
BrixSat, what have you tried? xrandr? setting a customized xorg.conf?
adknight87: OK... without clues in the logs its like throwing darts whilst dizzy and blindfolded  :p
bazhang:  im in xorg.conf but dunno what to change here
TJ-: SCOTTY
adknight87: Can you pastebin the current /var/log/Xorg.0.log ?
http://pastebin.com/awSayVaP
prognosis? lol
adknight87: Have you tried removing /etc/X11/xorg.conf to a safe place and letting the driver auto-configure? There are reported errors as a result of the current xorg.conf
xorg would end up empty
bazhang: My xorg.conf is the one generated by xorg
adknight87: I also think you've got a mix-up of driver versions... "PowerXpress: Diagnostic output from /usr/lib64/fglrx/switchlibGL:
library file /usr/lib32/fglrx/fglrx-libGL.so.1.2 not exist, can't switch"
adknight87: no xorg.conf would be preferable. X should auto-configure itself these days
TJ-: it's a link to the file
let me go and seek out if the link is still there
adknight87: There's also segfaults reported. You need to sort those out by cleaning up the driver issues. No wonder you're getting tearing :)
TJ-: it's beta drivers give me a break LOL
adknight87: segfaults means serious - that's not a 'beta' driver issue, its more like a bad installation issue
What? I've removed everything from the last install so it was a fresh install of the beta drivers
Btw I'm not having issues now this actually works it's when I switch over to the intel graphics that is when I get all the oops I can do crap errors
hey guys? Is it normal for ubuntu's 12.04  rsyslog to run under syslog user?
'cause upgrading from 10.04 broke loggin
i had to switch rsyslog to run under root so everything could continue working good
is it ok or there is a purpose for rsyslog to run underprivileged?
anyone?
adknight87: Well that PowerXpress is the switcher code to the IGP so that explains the issue. It is likely that the drivers aren't correctly configured for hybrid operation, and probably you're ending up with the VESA driver rather than the Intel driver for the IGP
?
newestnick: rsylogd should run as the user syslog. The auth.log should be owned by syslog:adm
I'm on the ati card at the moment
it is owned by root.adm as other log files from old 10.04 version
update-alternatives: warning: forcing reinstallation of alternative /usr/lib/fglrx/ld.so.conf because link group x86_64-linux-gnu_gl_conf is broken.
should i chown the files? that doesn't sound nice. i started rsyslog under root as before, is tah ok????
i don't see any reason why rsyslog shouldn't run as roiot
newestnick: rsylogd runs as an unprivileged user for a good reason.
on every other distro and even old ubuntu it runs under root
hm? which is that
newestnick: the user "syslog"
and for other distors there isn't that "good reson"
no i meant which reason :) lol
my wifi is not remembering the password or something like it
newestnick: the reason is "dont use root if it is not needed"
I can connect to the wifi but it's not stsying
staying
but why didnt' the ubuntu upgrade then chown the files it needed or at least said there will be privilege dropping
it left me confused with rsyslog not logging anything to syslog or auth.log
so changing ownership of log files is safer option????
newestnick: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/rsyslog/+bug/407862  that?
anyone here experienced muffled sound in the 12.10?
newestnick: I suspect the issue is the logrotate configuration recreating the files as root:adm See bug #407862
newestnick: See comment #78
does anyone know how to compile the kernel?
ithilras_Luthien: From git or from source package?
anyone?
source package
muffled sound on the 12.10?
ithilras_Luthien: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile
TJ, do you know how remove the muffled sound on the ubuntu 12.10?
katsune: Take the pillow off the speakers? :p
okay I'm sorry thanks,
TJ, no I mean whenever  there is a sound like a character talking, there's a muffled sound on the background and then stops when the character also stop talking
katsune: does it happen for all sounds or just from specific applications? If the latter, you should investigate their sound-settings
bazhang: ?
how can I find out if someone is trying to access my machine remotely.. I mean ssh into my ubuntu machine ?
vectorshelve: check your firewall logs
vectorshelve: also, if you don't have ssh server software on your side you should be fine
thesadmafioso: $ ps -e | grep ssh   832 ?        00:00:00 sshd  1690 ?        00:00:00 ssh-agent
vectorshelve: that likely has to do with OpenSSH
thesadmafioso: ok
thesadmafioso: how can I firewall logs
It's probably a deamon to handle multiple SSH connections and other underlying functions of your SSH implementation, so to speak
thesadmafioso: how can I view the ssh logs ?
thesadmafioso: wont that help me find out if someone accessed my machine remotely ?
vectorshelve: You may want to try using the "log file viewer", it is in your main system menus most likely
thesadmafioso: could u help me with where exactly can I find it
that will help you to look at many of your system logs, in real time, and you can also apply filters to it
hi all
hi
anyone here
any chinese
it seems not so many people in this channel~
this channel is very busy
if you have a question just ask :)
you may have to wait a while for a response, but there are some very knowledgeable folks here
question: Let's say I have a dedicated server.... is there something that would allow me to share files with someone remotely?
without giving them my pass + username....
xckpd7: http, ftp, ssh
it's just the first time my joining this channel. Just to say hello and be a guest
xckpd7: sftp, ssh
hi guys. How does Ubuntu know my location at installation time?
Hello people, who has used OpenCL SDKs on Ubuntu?
shenyao, r u chinese
Odd intel graphics work now xD!!
xckpd7: if you're running something like CentOS you could set up SSH for the person
I just installed ssh on my ubuntu 10.04,
hi dude. in which distribution of ubuntu, python3.2 is installed by default, please?
anything further to do ?
^ Guest78302
thesadmafioso: hmmm how about if I don't care if anyone else sees the file
thesadmafioso: like make it public of sorts... like I could easily just put the file on my Dropbox public folder but it will take too long
thesadmafioso: so I want the concept of a public folder (no logging in like at all)
thesadmafioso: preferably just a link
xckpd7: a web server with enabled directory lister, lighttpd for example
xckpd7: ^ yep
brontosaurusrex: something like nginx support that kind of thing too, no?
sure
eh oh. dude. in which version of ubuntu, python3.2 is installed by default, please?
hey, is there a dedicated MacTel channel here?
anybody knows how does Ubuntu know my location at installation time?
i think 3.x is in the repos also
ja ip lookup i imagine
ja if you're connected to the internet during your install then it probably looks up your IP and makes an educated guess ^_^
dr_willis: thesadmafioso: ok, thanks
Hi there, I have a persistent live usb made up, for a month or so - and as of latelly I've been noticing huge lags and I/O with flush-8:16 taking up almost all the cpu - is there anything I can do to lighten it up? (And if possible any other optimisations to reduce disk I/O since I run from USB)
brontosaurusrex: I think I already have apache, but it's just being used on one utlility / application running on one of my ports (e.g. site.site.com:10000)
brontosaurusrex: so I just now need to configure it to serve files (don't care if it's password protected) on another port?
Frostbtye, maybe your flash drive is slow, how about using a usb 3.0 flash drive
Frostbyte: Is it getting full? If there's lots of random I/O going on that could be upsetting any flash wear-levelling the device does
katsune: I didn't have any problems a few weeks ago
TJ- : nah, casper-rw and home-rw partitions do have free space left\
I have also installed preload, but doesn't make any difference
brontosaurusrex: cuz right now I'm getting the "It Works" Apache page when I go to my domain
Frostbyte: how about the underlying flash wear-levelling though? Every time a block is unlinked a new block is used to contain the modified contents
Good morning =)
the flash drive is around 2 months old, since it's purchase
TJ- could it have worn out already?
btw, when I don't see flush-8:16 in conky, the system responds blazing fast
I only face those spikes, and I don't know where they come from
Frostbyte: Well, lets imagine it doesn't do wear-levelling. That could imply the same physical flash blocks are being erased and re-written to... and they can wear out in less than 1000 erase cycles, especially for MLCs
Frostbyte: alternatively, it may be just that you've got a process that likes flushing data to disk, maybe a swap file? Not a fab idea to put swaps on most flash devices.
no swap used, at least gnome-system-monitor shows swap is 0
I made sure there's no swap
I did a quick googling and figured that it writes from RAM to disk, but I can't figure why now.. all of a sudden
I'd appreciate it if you could help me investigate
Frostbyte: I would say monitor your processes first,.
The ubiquitous question of "why" . . . it gets me every time ~_^
hello. i installed ubuntu 12 04, updated, switched to russian, but after a restart it has changed to english, and russian is not selectable any more. what i made also: installed 2 brother printer drivers from brother site, installed gnome-panel, and tried it.
Frostbyte: First thing is to use something like iotop to see what's the most active
found out that ati proprietary drivers (legacy) are not compatible with Xorg 1.13, so i'm going to Mint :(
Frostbyte: Does the system have enough RAM? If it is under pressure the kernel will evict pages from its cache and then have to fetch them again later when needed
I'm currently booting the persistent USB under a P4 @ 3.0GHz with 2GB ram
should be sufficient, since conky shows I'm only using around 500+ mb out of 2GB
Hi folks
even under peak conditions
as for CPU resources, most of the time, I see Xorg, compiz and the flush-8:16
except when I have a chromium in background
Frostbyte: OK, but how about the cache usage? The 'free' memory is used by the kernel for cache and buffers and gets evicted when some process needs more RAM. As I said, try iotop see if it gives any clue as to which process is responsible for forcing the flushes - if they are the reason
I'm apt-getting iotop now
it's gonna take a while
Frostbyte: That flush-8:16 tells you which device it is 8 is the major number, 16 is the device number. check that with "ls -l /dev/block/8:16"
hm
okie, just a sec
You are a engine?
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 6 Nov 21  2012 /dev/block/8:16 -> ../sdb
let's see what is sdb
Frostbyte: and what does sdb translate to as a physical device on that system? Is it the USB device?
just a sec, gonna run gparted to see
Frostbyte: no need, just do "grep sdb /var/log/kern.log"
sdb is my usb, ye
TJ-: I installed the ubuntu's sources fglrx I get 260fps on glxgears but on the beta I get 1460fps.
I couldn't figure from the kernel log, since I'm a newb still - so gparted told me :P
Frostbyte: :D
TJ- could it be that it's because I converted it from ext3 to 4?
adknight87: 260? sounds like the 3D accelerated driver isn't in use there, even if installed
I experimented wit hthat recently
Frostbyte: It's possible, yes. ext4 does enforce some flushing due to sync issues
TJ-: I stuck with the new drivers xD I'm happy
TJ-: aw kr@p
Frostbyte: But I thought that applied to ext3 as well, but its a while since I read up on that side of things
shall I whoop back to another format?
Frostbyte: No. Not unless you can *prove* that is the cause of the issues of slowness, which is, as I understand it, your primary issue?
yea, the lockups
I have iotop running
Hi frostbyte who you maked battlefield3?
How/
TJ-: you know how xdg-open works exactly when running a mimetype link
Chucrute301: To clarify, frostbite was the BF3 engine - frostbyte is a codename for some mushkin dimms :P
flushes are done in the background, so lockups is a weird one unless the kernel is freezing. Have you checked /var/log/kern.log carefully for any indication that the kernel is reporting problems at the moments the lock-ups occur?
Frostbyte is the new version 8x more powerfull
:D
well, didn't take it from there at least :D
adknight87: It examines the configuration in /etc/xdg/ for mime-types, I seem to recall
and how would I run a application to open a link from a mime?
for some reason now it's gotten responsive.. lol, damn you murphy and your law
xdg-open is used on the desktop to start the matching application. You can associate mime-types with applications using Nautilus. Select the data file, do Properties > Open With...
Frost you use ubuntu?
TJ-: Dunno if it gives any clue - but I sometimes see [sync-supers] and a zeitgeist-fts getting momentarilly 99% io
jup
Frostbyte: hehehe I know the feeling. PCs run scared of me and start behaving in case I thump them :p
lol
Kkkk
Themafioso e foda
its a url I'm openning up and then letting the program use it
adknight87: Well URLs will be associated with a web-browser by default
protocols
Frost you uses gnome or unity?
steam://
imvu://
Chucrute301: unity
adknight87: For URLs you can set the handler using gconf-editor and navigating to /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/<protocol>  or creating a new one there, using the others as a template for what you need to do
Doesn't exactly work
I have it already in but it does nothing
can anyone help me with my printer problems?
canon printer
12.04
TJ-: I did add it into the mimetype.list file under x-scheme-handler/imvu=IMVU.desktop
adknight87: ahhh, you'll need xdg-mime for protocols
TJ-: I have disabled ext4 journaling btw
I can't figure why it's still a snail :p
Frostbyte: I doubt its the journal
Anyone is having problems under unity?
hrm
unity runs great for me.
Unity is veru unresponsive and slow on my pc
unity runs fast and smooth
I have installed my nvidia drivers
:)
but my printer doesnt work
and its driving me insane
Using 12.10

HI all, any idea how to modify time slice allocation per process
I have a 9800gt and a i3 :(
Why my unity is slow

TJ-: Perhaps since compiz and Xorg do consume some cpu from time to time - switching to a lighter interface than unity might help?
gnome-fallback
Chucrute301: My integrated runs unity nicely.
Chucrute301: you can try unity-2d with no window effects
TJ-: its not a document or file its a protocol link.
anyhow, if it does occur again I'll be coming back with new info
damn my luck >.<
question: I added a new user in ubuntu and I'm trying to log on with it... I'm absolutely sure I'm entering in the password correctly.... do I need to grant privilege to access certain folders for it to be successful?
cuz it's saying permission denied
it may be locked
I did sudo adduser and added a pass
try switching to your admin account and looking at the new user account
how once I'm on there
what are you running?
everytime someone says "unity" I start thinking about unity3d (the game engine)... it's quite annoying -.-
ubuntu 12.04.1
LTS
well, i run 10.04 but for me from the panel it's "system > Administration > Users and Groups
thesadmafioso: terminal
thesadmafioso: I don't have the gui stuff
xckpd7: Well, you should make sure the login shell is set to something sane (/bin/bash, /usr/bin/zsh or such), that the home folder exists
adknight87: Is the .desktop files associated with your x-scheme-handler/... being read?
xckpd7: If you used the "adduser" script it should've taken care of that for you, if you used the old "useradd" way you may need to set all that stuff manually
xckpd7: man usermod may help also
theadmin: didn't know that difference between adduser and useradd :P
theadmin: I just did $ sudo adduser foo
theadmin: and added a password
thesadmafioso: iirc "adduser" comes from FreeBSD or something as a matter of fact, and has been ported to Linux. May be wrong though.
theadmin: and I think that adds a home directory when you finish that
I'm having some trouble with Network Manager. It's not starting automatically at boot.
xckpd7: Hm, ok... yeah it should
xckpd7: Well, what if: [ -e ~username ] && echo "Home folder exists"
weird... ok I think I know the problem
well actually scratch that, let me describe anyway
xckpd7: maybe you can "usermod -L " to disable password and try to see if it drops you in?
I just did su <user> and that worked fine
though it didn't kick me out of my own home folder...
xckpd7: That's not surprising, su doesn't update the environment
xckpd7: Use "sudo -iu username" instead.
good morning
theadmin: that still logged me in but did kick me back out to it's proper user folder
theadmin: so why am I not able to login with that username, but I can switch to it?
xckpd7: Well, yeah, that's correct. Ok then, the problem may be in the login shell... Try: sudo chsh -s /bin/bash username
xckpd7: I think usermod also allows you to specify what shell you want to login to for a user
theadmin: username being the one I'm setting up right now
theadmin: does "sudo -u" flag update the environment for the specified user?
thesadmafioso: "sudo -u" means "run as specified user instead of root"
xckpd7: Yes, not your username, the username of the new user
theadmin: ok, now try to login with it?
xckpd7: Yeah
theadmin: got it, thx
theadmin: this might be easier: http://www.torrent-invites.com/seedbox-tutorials/203543-dedicated-server-kimsufi-ovh-seed-box-setup-rutorrent-autodl-irssi-znc-ubuntu.html
theadmin: I think I need to change the sshd_config file to allow the user?
xckpd7: Oh, you're using ssh, why didn't you mention that
xckpd7: Yeah, might be it...
theadmin: sorry... didn't know to say
Hello...i seem to remember that in older versions i could resize icons in nautilus. Did they remove that feature?
bdi_: I think so, though you still can zoom in/out with ctrl+scroll
ctrl +/- :P
theadmin, ah thx
hello. i installed ubuntu 12 04, updated, switched to russian, but after a restart it has changed to english, and russian is not selectable any more. what i made also: installed 2 brother printer drivers from brother site, installed gnome-panel, and tried it.
theadmin: that didn't work... I literally followed that configuration to set it up
xckpd7: Ah damn... Well sorry I have no idea
xckpd7: Quite weird honestly, ssh allows logging in as anyone but root by default :/
hi, I am getting "Buffer I/O error on device fd0, logical block 0" despite having "blacklist floppy" in blacklist.conf
theadmin: yeah... I think the guide I'm following might have had me add something at the very beginning...
modprobe -r floppy gives "FATAL: floppy is in use"
anyideas?
probably should have waited until after the split :-(
how do i keep nautilus from trashing my desktops on blackbox, openbox, etc..  somehow it gets run and i can't right-click to bring up any menu except the one which says 'create new folder, change desktop background, etc'
sjhenn
I am getting "Buffer I/O error on device fd0, logical block 0" despite having "blacklist floppy" in blacklist.conf
modprobe -r floppy gives "FATAL: floppy is in use"
theadmin: "ssh allows logging in as anyone but root by default..." ubuntu comes with "PermitRootLogin yes" by default (well, with a locked root-account, but...)
how do i unlock all processes?
llutz_: Oh, I didn't know that, thanks
WeThePeople: What do you mean by "unlock a process"?
theadmin: one more question? I think to setup my current username, I edited "visudo"... could that be it?
xckpd7: Eh... Long as "visudo" accepted your modification there should be no problems... Besides, sudoers don't affect the login in any way
theadmin: gotit. thanks
i am trying to do something based on whether process xbmc.bin is running above 12%
got this : if [ ps -C xbmc.bin -o pcpu= | awk 'NR>1' -gt 12 ]; then but not working
theadmin, http://imgh.us/screen_3.png
Is there a way to permanently disable gtk-filechooser's creation of ~/Desktop ?
theadmin, i think that error is from syn. lol
synaptic package manager
WeThePeople: Well uh, that happens when you have multiple package management tools running at the same time (apt-get and synaptic, for instance)
theadmin, which i do not
only spm
Errr... I forget where the lockfile is :/
hello. i installed ubuntu 12 04, updated, switched to russian, but after a restart it has changed to english, and russian is not selectable any more. what i made also: installed 2 brother printer drivers from brother site, installed gnome-panel, and tried it.
theadmin: wow I just needed to reload ssh
theadmin: works now, thanks
xckpd7: hah
does anyone know of a way to do anonymous blind file uploads with a drag and drop web interface?
andytheg: As in the user is blind?
that i run locally on my machine?
maybei should ask in ubuntu-offtopic
oh no, as in they have no 'read' permission on the direectory
they cannot see into the folder they are dropping off the files.
it is probably very bad word to choose
but i didn't know how else to describe it succinctly
hey guys, isn't gallium3D dead?
andytheg: There are flash/html 5 uploaders which let you drag and drop, and not showing a listing is up to the person coding the webpage
hi YokoBR
please am running lxde and i can see a uxterminal, xterminal and lxterminal, please wats the difference
Touhou11, yea, i was hoping for more 'bundled' software .. but thank you.  i will keep that in mind as a 'roll your own' alternative.
andytheg: SWFUpload is a very popular one
Touhou11, i hate flash :)
but thank you.
i will look that up and find an html5 equiv
babyswizz: uxterm and xterm are "traditional" terminals, some script might want them present. Generally, they are feature-less (bad color support etc), so just stick to LXTerminal
andytheg: Fair enough, though more users probably have Flash than HTML 5 capable browsers
andytheg: Depends on your audience
Touhou11: Pretty much any browser is HTML5-capable nowadays
Touhou11, gaaah.... evil.. my eyes.
Touhou11, thank you for saying that.
Apart from every user still on XP with Internet Explorer 8 (a lot of people)
YokoBR, did you ever figure out the dns speed issue?
Touhou11: You don't want those people on your webpages :P
Touhou11, xp ... gah .. my soul.
andytheg, sure! It's solved, finnaly! it was the dns forwarder... it was set to an windows server and it's service was stopped. That's why i hate windows.
how to make my flash based games to work more smooth... ??
razvan, ram disk
1 gb ram....     250 gb disk
andytheg: http://www.plupload.com
theadmin, so basically there is nothing you can do with lx terminal that you cant do with uxterm or xterm and vice vasa
llutz, interesting!!
can someone recommend what they feel is the best distributed chat program with great clustering ability?
if i untick hardware acceleration on the flash options....it will make my online flash based games..run more smoothely??
b0ot: like IRC?
wastrel, I'm looking for something where you have a contact list
razvan: In theory hardware acceleration makes it faster, depends on your hardware though. Just try it. Flash on Linux generally runs like ass compared to Windows/Mac unfortunately
:((
yeats, "what they feel is the best"
b0ot: "Do NOT take polls in the channel" ;-)
I wouldn't consider that a poll, I'm sorry my question angered you
YokoBR, good man bro! i'm glad you figured it out -- i was like.. i don't know anything your saying :)  good thing you solved it.
andytheg, thank you :D
b0ot: a better way to ask would be to provide the details of your situation and perhaps someone can recommend a good solution
Hai. Yesterday, I upgraded my Ubuntu 11.04 to 11.10, removed unity and installed gdm, gnome-shell, extensions, etc etc. What would happen if I upgrade to 12.04? Will Unity get reinstalled and will I loose al my gnome-shell extensions?
What's an "ubuntu"?
Silox|: an upgrade *should* just upgrade your currently installed packages (including any new dependencies)
Ok then.
<slowc> Ubuntu == Humanity
Thank you.
What games does it have?
yeats: But ... When I upgraded from 11.04 to 11.10, it installed Unity. Which I didn't have. So it didn't just upgrade the packages I already had, did it?
<slowc> it comes with simple games like sudoku
and what does "Ubuntu == Humanity"
mean
<slowc> Ubuntu means humanity in african language
So it's like an old OS then?
Silox|: I never had to do that, so I'm afraid I don't know - I'm just telling you what I understand *should* happen
thats just plain weird.
far better.
linux
what type of cool things can I do with 'ubuntu'
slowc: Are you mocking us?
web pages
Well, I'll install it. See how it goes.
Silox| I was just about to ask the same haha
huehue: Hack the Gibson
what's a 'gibson'
Gibson is a rad dude who wrote Neuromancer.
Not at all Silox
Ah, then it's fine, slowc.
slowc ubuntu linux is a version of the linux computer operating system
So, on the page, is there an exe or something?
I'm asking what I can do with 'ubuntu'
please explain to me how that is off topic
<slowc> are you here for help
or
Kiranvotio: He's here for mocking.
slowc if you have some questions you can /msg me
huehue: do you have a support question?
advice on if i should use it, how to install, things like that?
huehue ,try some youtube videos
I'm asking what can do with 'ubuntu'
So, is there an exe or is it in a .msi?
huehue: that's not really a support question - there are many "what to do after installing ubuntu" posts on the web that will guide you
slowc: It's a bat.
ahh cool
<slowc> it has a great UI that can be understood by a child and i am sure that you can understand
<slowc> no linux installations start with msi
Where is this .bat then?
Kiranvotio: Wubi might
Which drive should I use for NVIDIA? http://www.pasteall.org/pic/show.php?id=40716
<slowc> do you install windows using Msi or Exe package then you are great
driver that is
Well, when I upgrade I use the disk
hello
ok well in light of our recent visit from slowc, I am gonna just get on out of here
It has an exe to run the upgrade.
I  got problem
have a good day all
designbybeck: probably 'nvidia-current'
<slowc> you are the only one who recognised a .bat during installation
blup1
thank you yeats
~OH FUCK
I have 62 processor. now, if I download regnum online, in 32bit version it works. but if I download it in 64bit version, it says graphic card error..... why?
Just realised what ubuntu is
I'm an idiot lol
designbybeck: that's the stable version of the proprietary driver
<slowc> are you installing
sorry guys
I thought it was a program
slowc no cursing here
i had it working a few weeks ago yeats then I did an update and it broke my desktop! I coudln't login or see anything excpet the wallpaper
so I could just dd this to a flash or dvd and use it?
someone please ban <slowc> from here
Hey, it was an honest mistake. I can see that from the dl page there is an install that works to run ubuntu INSIDE of windows/
something about wubi
slowc, thats wubi
ahh
Again, I'm sorry for any issues for my very n00bish questions
What's the status of Wayland in Ubuntu 13.04? Will they at least try to make it System composer as it was planned for 12.10. As far as I heard it was not discussed on the UDS..
Hello! I just did a fresh installation of Ubuntu desktop 11.10 i386, and all I get is a blinking cursor. I don't even see the GRUB boot menu, neither can I 'force' into it by holding shift during the boot process... Note that apt gave an error when configuring the sources.list, this is quite possible because the machine doesn't have internet! Any help?
designbybeck: if that happens again, just ask about it in here - there are many in the channel that have expertise with getting (and keeping) nvidia working
zipper, unclear at this point; 13.04 issues in #ubuntu+1 please
thank you yeats , and yes they helped me last time as well!
Hi all, any idea how to modify time slice allocation per process
Can i dd this "wubi" to a flash drive then?
rkrishna: something about process scheduling or nice
slowc you can make a bootable flash drive using the usb creator
cool
slowc, did you read the wubi link I gave you?
yes
slowc: Are you just trolling?
Seems like it
that stick can be used to install the os on any computer
But I think making my PC 2dual boot"
Kiranvotio, thats a bit different with wubi
would work better
So thinking of installing from a usb
slowc, correct
worked perfectly yeats
slowc, best to dual boot, ie skip wubi
designbybeck: great!
I'll give it a go

Question - Let's say I'm currently running a mdadm raid array in mirror, 2x500. Let's say I want to remove those drives and add a new array, 4x2TB @ raid5. So I install those drives, sync them, etc etc whatever, they're running with a mount point and file system. What's the best way to port the data? Can I plug one of the 500's into a USB/SATA bridge and transfer from there? Will the data be there with one drive off USB like that?
run cheese from command line, and post crash message please.
roasted_: I would probably just use 'dd'.
Pricey: but, from what to what? Can I hook up a formerly raid'd drive via USB/SATA bridge like that?
roasted_: yes, the drives from a raid-array are normal hdds/filesystems, so you can use them alone
roasted_: when using mdadm
iceroot: nice! thank you.
roasted_: for hardware raid and sometimes fakeraid its not possible but for software-raid like mdadm yes

gauche, kill the process and try again?
brandon420: please avoid meta-questions
t432, well, on android, there is a setting to use the phone as a modem for instance. Then you just plug it to your pc. you can also use the phone as a wifi hotspot
it threatens a broken system when i press ctrl plus c :C
gauche, But you weren't installing a system package or updating...
well i selected wine so i dunno br
gauche, also, why not download the font, double click it, and click "add font"

john_doe_jr: because that is the default python

Fuck that noise. You guyz suck
hi, anyone here? having an issue with a webcam and google is failing me
xomniverse: ^
I get the following error in VLC when I attempt to capture video from my webcam: "VLC is unable to open the MRL 'v4l2:///dev/video0'. Check the log for details." The webcam works fine in other applications, such as Cheese.
damn this is nice
I've found that VLC has been rather odd for me recently
Have you tried reinstalling it?
tru
no, but I can. I just installed it though.
Try it.
Something could have gone wrong when it installed/
that worked, now I feel like an idiot
how bizarre
how did you install it mate?
used the software center
dw about it, these things happen
i like mplayer
oh ok, did you get any errors while you installed it?
like were there any dialog boxes that popped up while it was getting installed?
no, seemed to install just fine
I'm guessing it would have only thrown an error if installed from terminal.
and it was working fine for watching videos, etc
then what is the problem?
it wasn't working for viewing video from my webcam
having strange issue with reverse-i-search, sometimes it only lets me type in a few characters, before it stops. for example, if I try to type "clean" it stops showing my input after "clea" and any other key presses seem to do nothing
what was the file extension your webcam videos had?
none; I wasn't trying ot watch previously recorded videos. I was trying to view a live stream of the webcam via the Open Capture Device option
ok i get it...
honestly, I havent tried it that way.. let me try it now and I'll get back to you if I have the same problem
well it seems to be working fine for me mate
reinstalling fixed it for me
strange thing though
lol yeah .. sometimes its like that
glad that you got it resolved
recently had a tough time dual booting win7 64 bit Ubuntu, Glad that I could solve it using fixparts and its worked like magic
installer simply refused to show the presence of Win 7 during install
I am very angry to ubuntu install procedure. It failed to install GRUB to /dev/sda (it did not make system partition active) and left me with unbootable system after install.
glad that it was finally resolved
After I booted with other cd and made partition active, it now complains "Bad PBR sig" and halts again.
after installing win8 i need to reinstall grub so i will get it through livecd but i dont know how to make it bootable as i cant find the iso
can anyone help?
Isn't that really bad? It is 12.04 LTS install
i think it has something to do with the way win7/8 is installed...
JasonC_, install win8 inside virtualbox.
no i already have windows 8, i just need to change the bootloader to GRUB
ok
You could use easybcd instead
if there is any systme you can boot, you can make eather cd or USB boot drive with unetbootin tool.
Ubuntooing: is that in reply to me?
http://askubuntu.com/questions/149674/how-to-create-or-recover-windows-bootloader-after-deleting-ubuntu-boot-drive
Rather than messing about with live cds trying to get grub reinstalled, just download easybcd and run it.
Anyone knows what "Bad PBR sig means" From my perspective, it is like "Ubuntu is now worse then Microsoft".
I think that link has the answer
It will edit your mbr
anyways good night friends ... hope you have fun :)
thanks guys for giving the info, ive actually spent the past 2 weeks waiting to buy a usb which i did today and now i find out i can do it much easier -_- the channel was very unfriendly last time :P
Some ubuntu geeks get funny about helping new people
It's quite funny actually
dWhy has mount.ntfs just started flatlining 100% CPU usage?
Even irssi is lagging. I'm in the process of rsyncing 160GB of files onto an NTFS filesystem from the Internet
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1653598
Seems to fit your issue
blazemore, why dont you do that to some linux fs. and then copy to ntfs. Ntfs on Linux uses FUSE, that is slow.
hey everyone. Should I just be able to connect a SATA drive to the mainboard while the computer is running and have it working?
luist: Look at Remastersys
SmokeyD: No
SmokeyD: No.
blazemore: i was looking but its used to clone images right?
Just take the 30 seconds and shutdown to do it.
i want to uninstall ubuntuone but worried if thic action effect on my machine?

Hey, could someone explain Gentoo to me?
Domincii: '/join #gentoo'
Domincii  ask in #gentoo
Domincii, gentoo's like to compile everything from source. It is linux distribution like ubuntu. see #gentoo
blazemore, I thought sata was hot swappable?
esata is.
SmokeyD, usually it is
I don't think plain sata is though
SmokeyD: Not inherently. Only hot swappable drives, and eSATA (in theory)
SmokeyD, read some. i guess os

nikolam, :) ok
I made a encrypted install of ubuntu with only root account for login
nikolam: can i use UCK to make an image without having an image installed already? :P
blazemore, BluesKaj, Ubuntooing ok thanks for the info
now it does not allow me to login
SmokeyD
before you go
is there a way to reset root password
and you should fix that bug in the netinstall
yes
The other issue with justy plugging it in would be the risk of esd
luist, I made costomized ubuntu cd once, to be able to controll installation from serial port. I think I was doing that on Installed system. You have multitude options to install.
Ubuntooing, esd?
electrostactic discharge
generally playing with the board with it on is a no no.
Ubuntooing, ok, yeah, static electricity could cause a spark to transfer to the mainboard and fry stuff I guess. Thanks
Hi, is there a simple way for me to tell if my box is blocking outbound connections on a certain port?
I can't tell if the problem is on the external server of my internal server
e-dard: sudo iptables -L OUTPUT
luist, sounds like jeos, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/JeOS You can always export from synaptic list of installed packages with synaptic and install them on other machines. Cached packages are in /var/cache/apt/ adding with dpkg -i .
llutz_: OK, http://paste.ubuntu.com/1375118/
llutz_: looks like everything is open, right?
e-dard: looks like, yes
[related question] Is anyone aware of any special configuration needed on EC2 to allow instances to connect to other machines on arbitrary ports?
nikolam: i dont see how is JeOS related to this :T
luiscelis, well you get list of packages from exporting it from synaptic. and install "script" is running dpkg -i *.deb on packages copied form apt cache.
or just put list with work to aptitude etc
luist, i was thinking of you
luist, eather you want to make your own boot cd/dvd or you want to prepare VM image, trere are docs on help.ubuntu.com
so I've got a VM on 12.04 ... and I just recently updated the graphics drivers ... and now when I go to run the UI for the VM  ( $ startx )  it hangs on a black screen after running the command
Is there an easy way to disable the graphics driver I installed?
delinquentme, what is VM? Virtualbox virtual machine?
nikolam, correct
delinquentme run in safe mode w
delinquentme, try asking on #vbox  they often get Vnox updated when vbox addons kill the VM.
delinquentme, and hos OS is Ubuntu?
correct
host
I had some trouble recently with ubunut inside vbox. Seems that recent ubuntu got clever" and installd it's own vbox addons inside vbox
I had much grief completely removing those addons before installing vbox ones, but I managed it.
it is just interesting what host drivers have to do with VM ones.
you installed new drivers on host or in guest?
delinquentme,
he installed in guest
i think
nikolam, on the guest
delinquentme, and wht you installed? vbox addons?
i hink he has intalled additional drivers
I think vbox also have snapshots to take before doing something new
delinquentme dont install additional drivers in guest
does any one know about modem drivers
juniour, noted
he must firstly remove dhose drivers that come with ubuntu before installing vbox ones. Also vbox addons driver for vbox guest must match vbox version, so downloading ones from virtualbox.org is good move

nikolam: u have a weird problem, i have ubuntu files but i cant find the iso file :P do you know where it might be? :P i have the wubi file though, but i originally installed it via BIOS
Dell_D510, go to help.ubuntu.com It depens on your modem type, EXternal serial modem always works.
Can i use xfd-format  ".dsk" floppydisk-images in bosch-emulator, or should I modify them someway
why my computer hanged where  i clicked on Dash home?
how can i restart vino-server???
JasonC_, iso is the image for burning to cd. wubi image is a file used to run ubuntu from windows on top of ntfs. it is advised to use .iso to burn eather cd/dvd or USB drive with unetbootin, make new partition and install linux separately (dual boot)
tried and failed
restart compiz
I always seem to get some terminal output (like "checking battery state...") when I log out. Any way to prevent that and just show  the dots?
nikolam: i already have ubuntu, i just cant find the iso, its gone i think!
Good morning wizards. ANybody know where the default shares MYHOUSE are configured from
designbybeck, test your memory. Use bootcd/usb live and test memory. See if your computer is not overheating. Otherwise, please report a bug on launchpad.net/ubuntu
Hmmmm nikolam
JasonC_, you can search for it, or you have a large disk and lost it somewhere. It is like asking us to find a disk in your house :)
how can i solved this problem pleas?
Good morning wizards. ANybody know where the default shares MYHOUSE are configured from
designbybeck, you can also use ubuntu-bug <package name> to report more data to devs about your issue
i install ubuntu 12.10
sorry designbybeck was thinking about designerh
Hi. I would like to use the DSA key I generated with putty-keygen on Windows, but yet I can't.
any body there
JBzh, try seahorse
Trying to share some samba folders to my new OPPO player. I can see the default Ubuntu shares for MYHOUSE but not my samba ones. NO idea where the MYHOUSE comes from or how it is configured. It basically just shows my music, docs etc.
I can use this key with putty in Ubuntu but not with just ssh in bash
JBzh: If you open the key file with puttygen in windows, you can export it as a regular keyfile
nikolam: it accepts a putty generated key ? (I exported it to an openssh format too)
phlegmish, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Samba
Pici: yes, that's what I did, exported it to a "id_dsa" file, then back to Ubuntu copied it into ~/.ssh/
JBzh, I mostly use gpg keys from thunderbird/eingmail But I see it include others too. test it. and see if it fits.
vlc can be used on a server to stream music? is vls something different?
JBzh, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSH/OpenSSH/Keys
nikolam I have an internal modem not an external one
well, I'll keep on reading, thanks
i'm trying to use audacity and there is no file menu to load a file
Dell_D510, see if it is supported. if it is on usb or not. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DialupModemHowto
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Samba doesn't help me. I know how to use and configure samba. There is nothing in my samba config file for MYHOUSE. It seems to just come out of the box with the new Ubuntu.
Not sure where it is setup
phlegmish: what ?
phlegmish: if you know how to configure and set it up, what's the problem
phlegmish, last time I did that i was editing config file for samba and restarting samba itself before it shows up.
Where can I get a really good publication for the very basics of Ubuntu for a long time windows user?
Hi. Is it possible to use the GRUB command prompt to log in to a BASH shell on Ubuntu?
Terry__: https://help.ubuntu.com
blackbird34: no
hi could some one please give me some guidance, I have Xubuntu installed on a shuttle xpc, when i plug in my ipod gen 2 touch "lsusb" shows it mounted but gtkpod and banshee do not register it. what can i do to get access to it?
Terry: http://ubuntu-manual.org/
sigh..... I have my smb.conf file setup to show some directories I want shared. Somehow it also shows MYHOUSE from both ubuntu boxes here when browsing. I don't want these to show up but they do and they are nnot in my samba config files. It seems like there is some sort of default sharing happening with new versions
Terry__, last time I put long time windows user to ubuntu i gave him no manual. :) I think everything is on help.ubuntu.com and on www serach basically.
shantorn: ipod support changes all the time
ikonia: is there any way of getting at my files from GRUB then? I can't boot past GRUB http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=12366192#post12366192
ikonia, i have an ubuntu 12.10 install with unity on another pc and it works fine
blackbird34: , grub is a boot loader, nthing more
shantorn: what OS is the problem machine
but that pc is failing so i am trying to migrate to this pc wiht xubuntu 12.10
shantorn: are the media players looking at device files ?
like i said i was suprised becuase lsusb list it mounted
Found it. The shares are defined in the background using the "net usershare" command and the definitions are saved in /var/lib/samba/usershares/ . Therefore, shares defined with this method are not visible in smb.conf.
the see no devices
they*
shantorn: why is that a surprise
shantorn: lsusb doesn't say if a device is mounted
shantorn: it just shows a device inserted into the socket
right i know what i meant i didnt say it right sorry
OK, thanks for the info.  I found an old version of ubuntu in the back of a Ubuntu book.  I tried to upgrade to 12.10, saved the download but can't figure out how to install it.
anyone knows how to get openbox menu back after opening nautilius ?
Terry__: installing an old version doesn't seem wise
Terry__: just download the current supported version, burn it and install it
ciao a tutti hello
I put it on a thumb drive used another computer to make a DVD, but this computer will not seem to boot up to it.
Terry__, try CD image , unetbootin
brb
I am not familur with the term unetbootin....?
Terry__: does the machine you want to install to have a DVD drive ?
Terry__, google it. helps. unetbootin.sourceforge.net
hola buen dia a todos
Yes...that is how I orginally got this verions on the machine, but I can't seem to upgrade, I keep getting "failed to fetch or Could not download all the repository indexes
Terry__: that's not what I said
Terry__: I told you to download the current version and install it
Terry__: not upgrade an old and probably unsupported version
quisiera saber si alguien sabe que es un servidor de tacas?? o tak
I have downloaded the current verions  12.10 but I can seem to figure out how to make it run.
Terry__: have you burnt it to a DVD ?
What is a server taka?
anyone here know how to install cent os from inside ubuntu on a iso with out useing a usb or cd ?
jgcampbell300: can't do it
ikonia, ty
Do you know someone who is a server taka?
PIRATA_WEB: #defocus
I had to put it on a thumb drive and burn it on to a DVD with another computer, but his machine does not seem to see the DVD!  Maybe I am not using the right kind of cd or DVD?
Terry__: quite possible, read the link ubottu sent you
Anyone here familiar with bash scripting?
jgcampbell300, install virtualbox or kvm/qemu adn make it boot from .iso.
brandinhess: the people in #bash are
Is that a channel on this server?
yes
ok, thanks
Terry__, one burns .iso directly to dvd. Maybe machine has a CD , or you did not burn it right. something of that.
nikolam, ya was trying to work around that but looks like im just going to have to figgure out why my 64g usb will not boot on this computer
jgcampbell300, it is usually about setting bott drive in BIOS/otherboard setup
jgcampbell300, but it seems like separate issues. unless you want to install inside VM and then boot tha tinstalled version from usb?
nikolam, bott drive ? dont know about that but i can use my 2g drive to boot from but not the big one
"boot" drive
jgcampbell300, yes, it seems like something with your motherboard. I would try partitioning drive to smaller parts or something And check what mobo produces say.
I'm having horrible wireless in Linux but great in Windows.
anyone know why that would happen?
nikolam, kk thanks .. will check it out now
also check what is the tool you were making usb boot drive with.
ezioa: probably driver problem.
ezioa, i ma not sure, maybe you could complain to manufacturer site, since they are usually ones that do not make driver behave right.
hi bros and sis........im Morphiss binbash.......!!a greeting for ALL ;)
when I do "netstat -tln" and I see this "tcp 0 0 :::1234 :::* LISTEN" does this mean that it is listen in tcp port 1234 in ipv4, ipv6 or both?
ezioa: you could look into using backported drivers from a newer kernel, but it depends on what ubuntu version you're using.
well im gona go double check my bios ... thanks for the info
ezioa, I figured something like that on some occasions. Try choosing best supported hardware for Linux, avoid unfriendly manufacturers.
pzn: I'd imagine so. I only have dual stack stuff listen, so I don't know what an IPv6 only service would show as.
Can someone help me identify and troubleshoop my dns problems?
ikonia, I just got SAME error on booting fresh installed Ubuntu 12.04, that I was getting when installing it in Virtualbox: "error:sparse file not allowed" Press any key to continue. In both cases it is Btrfs FS on disk. (Hardware and VM)
SwedeMike, thanks
Can no one really help me with my internet problems?
brandon420, usually helps contacting your ISP, but if it is ubuntu related...
nikolam: it is, i am on a windows computer and it is working perfectly.
and.. brandon420 ...
nikolam: I keep getting stuff like this in my routers logs. dhcpd: DHCP server received REQUEST from 00:1B:9E:25:D3:6C, 12:14:25, 2012-11-21
I am not sure what to say other than my internet seems to be fading in and out. sometimes it works, others it doesnt
brandon420, what does dmesg say?
brandon420, those messages from the router are normal
brandon420, do you have ubuntu installed? if it is on router, maybe again asking your ISP. try fixing your LAN address for your computer. If it is wireless router, set password on it.
i do have ubuntu installed, and i dont think it is the router because other devices connected to the same one work perfectly.
nikolam: one sec and i can let you know what dmsg says, do you need the entire log?
nikolam: wlan0: ipv6 duplicate address dtected
how would i fix that?
dcherniv, asked dmsg , post on pastebin.
oh sorry
lol
dcherniv: do you need the entire log?
brandon420, sure pastebin doesnt charge per character. paste the whole thing
how do i check that device is SSD?
#
a
dcherniv: i have to type the entire thing...
says that i have a duplicate ipv6 address
hi all
brandon420, you cant copy/paste? open terminal run dmesg > dmesg.log. open dmesg.log and copy paste to pastebin.com
brandon420, would be useful to see the entire thing
seems to work
dcherniv: the ubuntu computer does not connect to the internet
ah
Can't get my network working
Can't get it working atg all
brandon420, is it wired or wireless?
seem to need some help
dcherniv: i prefer wireless, but i am currently sitting beside the router
Why is RuneScape so slow on Linux? on windows it was faster, do I have the wrong plugin?
i prefer wireless too
brandon420, does wired internet work on that linux machine?
dcherniv: slowly.
dcherniv: i will try and paste that log for you.
hi all!! i am facing a problem registering my vm image in ubuntu 10.04 running xen 4.1.2, eucalyptus 1.6.2, euca2ools 2.1.1..

* dcherniv away \
err
brandon420, theres no personal info in dmesg
brandon420, you can link to pastebin here. maybe someone else will have a look and can help figure it out

Are there different printer default settings for Unity and KDE? I know the backend is all CUPS but is there an overlay that independantly designates the default printer with each DE?
buzzmandt: for nickserv?
trism, would installing from source work?
gordonjcp yes
plz check http://pastebin.com/Ujz5ELXC and http://pastebin.com/GEET8u35
b0ot: you could probably get it building from source, but you'll need a bunch of other libraries, it probably isn't straightforward
anyone to help me?
buzzmandt: You need to ask in #freenode about password recovery
hello. i installed ubuntu 12 04, updated, switched to russian, but after a restart it has changed to english, and russian is not selectable any more. what i made also: installed 2 brother printer drivers from brother site, installed gnome-panel, and tried it.
dcherniv: anything?
Can you help me, please? How can I mount nrg file?
zxcduc1: Try CDEmu
brandon420, looks weird but ok
zxcduc1:  try mounting it as you would an ISO file.
brandon420, does wireless disconnect or is it just slow
dcherniv: it connects, but no internet
everything times out
is there a way to "detach" integrated usb devices seen in lsusb?
but the wired seems to be perfect..
nvm
i stand corrected
delac, no as far as i know
delac: there is, wait
delac, you can unload kernel modules for a device but you cant physically disconnect it
dcherniv: what might the module be?
Hi all, anybody from India,?? Can anyone tell me where i can get Linux T-Shirts shipped in India
delac: sorry, i was wrong. usb devices can only be detached from their drivers.
God I hate that i am going to have to reinstall cause of this bs
delac: they won't disappear in lsusb output
trism you wouldn't happen to know if wheezy supports it?
brandon420, why reinstall?
b0ot: yes it should
brandon420, try disabling ipv6 first
brandon420, http://www.noobslab.com/2012/05/disable-ipv6-if-your-internet-is.html
how would i do that?
b0ot: http://packages.debian.org/wheezy/libgtkmm-3.0-dev
brandon420, above link
ubottu sorry, not work for me. I get an error: need to specify the file system type
delac, depends on what device it is
dcherniv: okay, give me a mintue
dcherniv: i have to reboot to activate that, correct?
How do I uninstall cinnamon desktop from ubuntu 12.04?
brandon420, yea just reboot
zxcduc1:  there are nrg to iso converteres out there also. not neeeded one in ages
hangdeadman:  how did you install it?
dcherniv: Microdia Sonix USB Camera. I already tried to rmmod uvcvideo, but that doesnt detach it as usb device
i have directory named .pulse in home directory which uses quite a lot space, can I delete it? or maybe its somethign important?
delac: what do you want to do? disabling the camera completely? maybe there is a bios setting for that
Dr_Willis: I installed in terminal
dcherniv: that didnt work.
delac, lsusb -t should show you the kernel module the device is using
brandon420, what does dmesg say?
from unity
dcherniv, http://pastebin.com/JrJnuPqr
^
brandon420: looks more like a wireless problem between the wireless router and wireless card in the computer "wlan0: associating with AP with corrupt beacon"
POVaddct: how would i fix that?
brandon420: but i don't know how to solve that. maybe the router itself is the problem
POVaddct: It works perfectly at my house, and the router is fine with a windows computer.
brandon420, run sudo ifconfig after you connected to the router, try to ping your router
I installed cinnamon, kde plasma, MATE, and several other desktop environments from Unity in order to try them and decided to stick with unity, How do I remove the rest? they were all installed from the terminal.
dcherniv: on wireless?
brandon420, yes
great, I mounted nrg file by cdemu. Thank all. Sorry if my english is bad :)
brandon420: i guess the wireless problem is also causing the ipv6 duplicate address thing. ipv6 is doing DAD (duplicate address detection) when an interface is coming up. if the wireless router returs your own networks packets back to you, DAD will see that as duplicate address
how do u setting up irc server
Justin_jtb7rmv: google unreal ircd. There are tons are tutorials
Justin_jtb7rmv: give me a second and i will find the one that i used, you on ubuntu server?

Bobweaver, good eveaning... fancy anthor stab at helping me with my video problem?
brandon420, run route and ping the default gateway
I can't get a samsung 2494sw monitor to work. Do I need a special driver?

I installed cinnamon, kde plasma, MATE, and several other desktop environments from Unity in order to try them and decided to stick with unity, How do I remove the rest? they were all installed from the terminal.
Justin_jtb7rmv: http://pastebin.com/R9fDaXf9    this is the one that i used, and it worked perfectly.
Bobweaver, yay!
brandon420, also what wireless channel your router is set to?
GandalfB,  did you add ppa ?
dcherniv: automatic
running arduino IDE 1.0.1 in ubuntu 12.10, and when i try to use the drop down menus and drawers for the menus, I cannot scroll down to see the entire contents of the menu, it just flies off the bottom of the screen
how do u setting up irc server in linux
Bobweaver, well I seemed to got to the point now, were the desktop was even lower reslotion than before.
I am having issues with getting postgresql running on 12.04 I have postgresql and postgresql-client installed, but nothing is in /etc/ about postgres except /etc/postgres-common/
Bobweaver, yes I think thats the last thing I did. what is ppa?
hangdeadman, if you intalled with apt-get install then use apt-get remove
I installed cinnamon, kde plasma, MATE, and several other desktop environments from Unity in order to try them and decided to stick with unity, How do I remove the rest? they were all installed from the terminal.
i have directory named .pulse in home directory which uses quite a lot space, can I delete it? or maybe its somethign important?
GandalfB,  did you open nvidia settings and change the resolution ?  or gnome-control-center and click on display and change the resolution ?
dcherniv: what triggers do you need for the route?
just route
InspectorCluseau: Thanks, will try
Bobweaver. no, for some reason, the desktop looks zoomed. so the gui at the side or bottom is hidden
Bobweaver the logon prompt is rather huge in middle of the screen, now using GDM instead of lightdm
brandon420: try route -n or ip r
Bobweaver, but I can access the terminal, and file system, by creating a folder on dekstop
Bobweaver, so I can I load the nvidia settings from terminal, or any of the other gui's for setting graphics settings?
dcherniv: unfortunately the Driver part in lsusb -t for the contains only the uvcvideo. rmmodding it wont remove the usb device from the list
GandalfB,  do me a fav and drop to tty1 (ctrl+alt+f1)   then apt-cache policy nividia-current | pastebinit
hey
Bobweaver, I will do that now
delac, and it shouldnt remove it from lsusb
delac, it should disable the camera though
GandalfB,  if you can run terminal then that should also work
GandalfB,  also run   /usr/lib/nux/unity_support_test -p | pastebinit
dcherniv: it does disable it, but I was hoping for even more deeper disconnect. I'm trying to determine what device causes a "mount click" on login
i am capturing video from a vcr using vlc in ubuntu 12.04. does anyone know how to reset the time counter in vlc (to 00:00:00). it just continues to increase so it's hard to tell how long you've been capturing
delac, a mount click?
dcherniv, http://pastebin.com/R6we0Eb0
is there a way to manually generate the /etc config that is supposed to be automatic?
for postgresql
http://paste.ubuntu.com/1375377/   is the apt-cache policy nividia-current
dcherniv: something causes a similar click as heard when you mount/umount a usb stick, when I login
brandon420_: which IP did you ping? 10.0.0.1 (gw) or 10.0.0.4 (self)?
04
http://paste.ubuntu.com/1375385/   is the unity_support_test
thanks GandalfB
that'd mean you'd ping yourself within your own IP-Stack
when i did "ping" i pingged 04 the other two commands i just posted, i didnt ping anything particular
Bobweaver, did you get those ok,  juggling keyboards :)
adan0s, ^^
GandalfB,  lsmod | pastebinit
Bobweaver, ok one sec
brandon420, try ping 10.160.0.1
Bobweaver, http://paste.ubuntu.com/1375392/   is the lsmod
dcherniv: host unreachable
Bobweaver, ( just a side note question, is it possiable to scroll the ctr+shft+f1 terminal up?)
dcherniv: same
GandalfB,  sudo modprobe nvidia
brandon420:  dcherniv: sure you didn't mean 10.0.0.1?
woah, this EDGE connection is really ... unstable
adan0s: that ip was unreachable aswell
adan0s, brandon420 ah damn my bad
10.0.0.1
brandon420: well .. that's strange then
GandalfB,  you can use less    example:   dmesg | less
Bobweaver, "FATAL: Module nvidia_current not found
"
then use the up and down keys and and q to quit
ok
brandon420: is your wlan0 configuration static or based on DHCP?
brandon420: just don't know which subnets you're using at home ;)
based on DHCP both ip4 and 6 are set on sutomatic
automatic*

ssh -t user@192.168.1.65 "cd /home/user/m" <- anyone know how to ssh then change directory?

hello. i installed ubuntu 12 04, updated, switched to russian, but after a restart it has changed to english, and russian is not selectable any more. what i made also: installed 2 brother printer drivers from brother site, installed gnome-panel, and tried it.
I will try
brandon420: do you get any response when doing "ping6 -I wlan0 ::0"?
adan0s: adan0s http://pastebin.com/gr5Pqb6p
in most setups the router (and maybe other hosts) should response i think
damn, or was it ::2 *grml*
rhin0, are you just going to run the command and then log out?
rhin0, or are you going to log in, then run the command, then stay logged in?
well I just gave up - wanted to run it and stay logged in
hi guys. I've just installed 12.10,  and things look good except for animations. I have three monitors powered by a Radeon 6700, and even with the proprietary drivers, window animations (fades, minimizations, etc) are very sluggish. Any ideas what needed to be tweaked to fix?
brandon420, try disabling encryption on the router and switch the channell to 11
rhin0, then you could just set the command in .bashrc
ah ok
forgot
you're right
just wanted to change directory thats all -- excellent
adan0s: network unreachable
Bobweaver, it says command not found

Hi. I have connected my digital camera via usb cable. The camera ( two of them for some reason?) shows in My computer but at the moment I am not able to mount the device. Any advise welcome

GandalfB,  switch back to lightdm plz
it says in an error message: Unable to mount location: Error initialising camera: -60: Could not lock the device
and  Error initialising camera: -1: Unspecified error
GandalfB,  also please do this          modinfo nvidia_current | pastebinit
Bobweaver,what is the best way to do that -
GandalfB,  dont worry about lightdm for the minute plz run      modinfo nvidia_current | pastebinit
ok I unplugged the usb cable and reconnected and now the device has mounted successfully...
GandalfB,  let us also see       withdrivers=$(lspci -vnnk | grep VGA) && echo  $withdrivers | pastebinit
Bobweaver, ok, modinfo nvidia)current is staying "Error: modinfo: could not find module nvidia_current"
ok I can see the picture files on the camera media card but I am unable to transfer them to my computer - unspecified error message but previously I had an error message saying that I didn't have permission to move the files.
brightsparks,  where is sd or whatever card mounted ?
its possible it got mounted with options where the user cant fully access the device. but the root user most likely could
^^^
the mount command should show what optionsit was mounted with
bobweaver: if I go to the root Media folder a folder called SD is showing there
brightsparks,  can you pastebin the output of          mount
bobweaver: paste the out of what mount??? There seems to be a word missing

bobweaver: this was your last message can you repeat instruction please  <bobweaver> brightsparks,  can you pastebin the output of          mount
GandalfB,  open terminal and enter in         unity --replace                   screen will flicker a couple of times but then  does it seg fault on you ?
brightsparks,  all you need to do is open a terminal  (ctrl+alt+t) then enter in  "mount"    then copy the output and pastebinit
bobweaver: sorry I just realised that's what you meant ha ha ha  will pastebin it now...
np it is good to ask questions if you are not sure about what you are doing brightsparks
Bobweaver, it just lists a line of errors regarding Xlib and glxguery
GandalfB,  ok
is nvidia loaded ?    lsmod | grep nvidia
GandalfB,  ^^
Bobweaver, uts bit returned to the command prompt
GandalfB,  easy way to get back to light dm  is to rm it and gdm and re-install       sudo apt-get --purge remove gdm lightdm && sudo apt-get install lightdm
Bobweaver, nothing is returned with the  nvidia grep
yeah because it is not loaded GandalfB
err... sudo dpkg-reconfigure lightdm    will let you select what DM to use
anybody got an answer?

Bobweaver, so to clarify you want me to run " sudo apt-get --purge remove gdm lightdm && sudo apt-get install lightdm"
GandalfB,  in *nix we call drivers modules  so  ls = list and mod = modules(drivers)  so  ls+mod  list all mods loaded in system
john_doe_jr:  other then check askubuntu.com ? ;) not really.
GandalfB,  also what dr_willis_  said above will work
john_doe_jr, those are called mimetypes > https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AddingMimeTypes
either one will woek
work *
:)
adan0s, Not trying to jinx myself, but i think i fixed it
one is just a whole lot quicker. ;P
Wifi has been working for 4-5 mintues without hickups
lol dr_willis_  one also does not eat up bandwidth :P
brightsparks,  can you plz do a      ls -al  /media/SD
and pastebin that plz
bobweaver: ok
Bobweaver, rebooting into lightdm
lol
rebooting? 'sudo service gdm stop' then 'sudo service lightdm start'
GandalfB, cool  hopefully nvidia will load  ,  I can not see why the mod is not loading frustrating .
take it easy all
bobweaver: http://pastebin.com/Qve14S8U
Bobweaver, nope, its not loading :(
dang it
bobweaver: May need nomodeset appended to grub for nouveau not to load
is there gui that configures drivers?  I did see one the other night?   can I force load that gui?
GandalfB,  cd /etc/modprobe.d && cat * | grep nvidia
genii-around,  no because it is not loaded either
genii-around,  here is lsmod from system  http://paste.ubuntu.com/1375392/
bobweaver: Did they have build-essential, kernel headers, and dkms installed before installing nvidia-current?
good question I just had him install headers
GandalfB,   ^^
genii-around,  by all means plz help out
bobweaver: I have limited time here at work, unfortunately
ahh
figure that d/control would pick up all Depends:   if not that is Huge bug
Bobweaver, ok do you want me to pastebin the output from that grep?
yeah GandalfB
and thanks
bobweaver: hi -did you get that last pastebin? http://pastebin.com/Qve14S8U
brightsparks,  yeah it says that there is nothing in there
Bobweaver, http://paste.ubuntu.com/1375508/
GandalfB: dkms status; is also interesting if you haven't already pasted that
is there a terminal code to see which grapical enviroment i use in ubuntu 12.10?
trism,  no GandalfB  has not and that is a great idea
Bobweaver, ok how do I do that, dkms status | pastebinit?
bobweaver: er...what does that mean bob? Like I said I have mounted the visible camera and media and can see the files but can't transfer them to a folder on my computer ??
yeah but make sure that it is installed 1st GandalfB
Bobweaver, http://paste.ubuntu.com/1375516/
er
GandalfB: apt-cache policy dkms | pastebinit
bobweaver: as a matter of interest if I take the media card out of the camera and put it using a reader into the computer I can copy the pictures on the computer but then when I put the card back in the camera the pictures have all been erased and  have to reformat the card
brightsparks,  I am sorry but in you past all I see is nothing
adan0s, seems to be working now. =D
hope i dont jinx it
brightsparks,  I am not the best at media cards TBH maybe someone else can help
gennii-around, http://paste.ubuntu.com/1375518
bobweaver: ok thanks anyway
GandalfB: yeah added means it hasn't built yet, are we sure the headers are installed? dpkg -l 'linux-headers*'
bobweaver: I was also hoping there might be a terminal command I could use that would give me absolute control of what I am seeing there and move stuff around without getting resistance
trism, I've run that, but the output is not meaninful to me, want me to pastebin it
GandalfB,  yeah pastebin it plz
Bobweaver, Trism, http://paste.ubuntu.com/1375532/
GandalfB: ah yeah, sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r);
GandalfB: you have one of the packages but you need the arch specific version too
GandalfB: you may want linux-headers-generic too so future kernel upgrades will rebuild the nvidia module
GandalfB: make sure you type that command exactly, I see bobweaver posted it earlier
trism, do I get that with apt-get install linux-headers-generic ?
GandalfB: yes
thanks... learning slowly :S
GandalfB,  all that $()  means is grab the output of something and use it. so in this case  you are asking for the output of uname -r
which is kernel version
if that helps
ok
GandalfB: after that, check: dkms status; to see if the module built
GandalfB: it should say: nvidia-current, 304.64: installed
recently i installed ubuntu 11.10 on my computer. when i boot up, it takes me to a grub page, where i choose between ubuntu and windows. however, no matter what i pick, it tells me, "error: no such partition" and takes me back to the grub screen. what should i do?
trism, http://paste.ubuntu.com/1375547/
it's a dell laptop that previously had windows 7 on it (now the hard drive is split into 2 partitions)
trism, looks like it has to me
GandalfB: yep looks good to me too
so reboot and hope?
how would I determin the version of the igb driver I'm using?
GandalfB,  you can load mod ?    sudo modprobe nvidia
does anyone have any ideas?
GandalfB: definitely a good idea to reboot after rebuilding the nvidia module
Bobweaver, sudo modprobe nvidia didn't give me any output
GandalfB,  listen to trism  he/she/whatever is AWESOME !
ok rebooting (so pleased this is just a learning box lol)
Is there a way to add a alais for dput like mentors but for your own ppa ?
* bobweaver launchpad name is long and have to type it out all the time :) 
trism, yay freak yes fixed
so like I have ppa: jospehjamesmills/ubuntutv     I would like it so that when I do dput ppa:josephjamesmills/ubuntutv <sources.changes >    that I can just do       dput ubuntutv <sources.changes >
is that possible ?
bobweaver: I believe so, mentors/ppa is just listed in /etc/dput.cf, just add one without the %(ppa) part
Thankyou Trism and Bobweaver
GandalfB: excellent, glad to hear it
"which python" reports /usr/local/MGLTools1.5.6rc3/bin/python" on my system. How can I make "/usr/bin/python2.7" default python again? google search turned out nothing and I am new to python. Please help.
That is great to hear GandalfB
thanks trism  looking into that
it is what I thought but best to ask questions 1st :)
bobweaver: never messed with it myself, I just remembering seeing something about it on launchpad a long time ago, seems there is a: man dput.cf; too which might help
Trism or Bobweaver, is there anyway I can load config panal for the nvidia now?
trism,  it worked \0/
bobweaver: nice!
GandalfB: nvidia-settings?
for some reason when i close my laptop lid then open it back up my sound stops working... is there a way to restart the pulse audio server with out having to reboot my computer?
Can Ubuntu 12.04 64bit fit onto a standard CD?
Trism, I kinda want to learn how I fecked it up in first place, and I think I found a part of gui that let me choose a driver, but I cant remember were it was
Rather than a DVD
?
artturnip700: pretty sure fits
"which python" reports /usr/local/MGLTools1.5.6rc3/bin/python" on my system. How can I make "/usr/bin/python2.7" default python again? google search turned out nothing and I am new to python. Please help.
a cd-r is 700 MB
GandalfB,  you should file a bug that Build depends is not calling linux headers so package is not installing correctly but you should file on Ubuntu version and not x-swat
Thanks, I'll give it a whirl now.
I would do that helps others out
But that is just me
artturnip700: just check the size of the file.. i believe it's like 698 MB
so it should fit... if it's more than 700 mb then it won't fit
Yep, looks like it. But aren't ISOs archives?
artturnip700: yes, it's a .iso
GandalfB,  ubuntu-bug nvidia-current=304.51.really.304.43-0ubuntu1                will so all that But I am not sure if you can use version # in ubuntu-bug
Bobweaver, I wouldn't know were to start with doing that :Z
artturnip700: what do you want to do exactly?
is there a way for me to restart the pulse audio server with out rebooting?
hi guys. I've just installed 12.10,  and things look good except for animations. I have three monitors powered by a Radeon 6700, and even with the proprietary drivers, window animations (fades, minimizations, etc) are very sluggish. Any ideas what needed to be tweaked to fix?
artturnip700: iso's aren't compressed, if that's what you are thinking.
.
Are there any JS linting tools in the Ubuntu repos? tried "apt-get install jslint"
Thanks, Solves my problem.
GandalfB: it is okay, it is bug 1068341
or 1068456
Would you say that Ubuntu 12.10 is worse than 12.04?
trism,  a good old preinst should fix that ?
* bobweaver looks at package 
ok- the bug / issue dosn't mean much to me :S
bobweaver: the problem is in quantal linux-headers-3.5.0-17 is installed by default, which provides linux-headers so satisfies the dep, but it doesn't also have the arch dependent headers
bobweaver: i think it is partially a problem with the iso since I see no point in having the arch independent headers installed by default with the arch dep ones
brb gotta run to the store before they close
trism,  can Build Depends have things like linux-headers-$(uname -r)
Trism, ok - I've found were I broke it.   it was in the software sources dialogbox, under additonal drivers, I changed the driver for the nvidia card
Any soul here....?
bobweaver: no, see comment #7 of the bug
GandalfB: yeah it is unfortunately a bit buggy, but as long as you have linux-headers-generic install you should be good from now on
trism,  yeah that is a problem lol
* Evil_Eric waves towards trism
Evil_Eric: hi there
has anyone had problems using the i350 intel ethernet adapter with 12.04?
I can't seem to get it to link (not a problem on the remote side of the wire)
trism, hey there hows things going
in fact it links UNTIL ubuntu takes over the hardware...
Trism,  ok can  I quickly paraphrase the problem / soultion to see if I have learned correctly.
hi, does someone know the command line for the Disk Analyzer Utility? this one: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/ubuntu/check-your-disk-usage-on-ubuntu-with-disk-usage-analyzer/
Trism, Bobweaver.  so if I've understood this correctly,  when I changed the drivers in the software sources dialog, it tried to install the new packages,  these were dependant on linux-headers and linux-headers-generic, from reading, linux-headers-generic is not correctly installed in 12.10 distro, so by getting and isntalling those we corrected the issue.    Bobweaver used lsmod and lspci to identify that I
 had nvidia card, but the modual (driver) not correctly loaded.
Trism, Bobweaver, is that roughly right?
kinda GandalfB  because headers where not installed dkms could not install nvidia-current it is all in the bug that trism posted above
kmels_: Try baobab That brings up disc usage analyser
Bobweaver, thanks, not bad amount learnt for my second day on linux :)  Thanks all - got to dash and eat some dinner!
DJones, thank you, that was the one!

Yeah heard of that
jarco: solution would be to disable acpi
Will it run all the games ...smoothly even 3d games...and high end ones...? I am not interested in tetris type games
newbie211, it usually has no problem running games 1-2 years old. runs civilization 4 just fine here
adknight87__, will that have other disadvantages on my system (desktop). I read via google it has something to do with power managment

I have this "problem" and it doesn't cause me much discomfort
jarco: having the fan on isn't something to be worried about
theadmin, its Too noisy I sleep in this room
jarco: Power the machine down?
theadmin, NEVER!
I run sickbeard etc at night
adknight87__, I meant is it a problem to disable acpi?
jarco: Lets say it's definitely not able to cool itself down
jarco: You can change the settings in /etc/sensors3.conf and run "sudo sensors -s", but I can't read any of the madness in there
haha, loadkeys is a BITCH on ubuntu. Why, yes, I would like a keymap where each keys is a 113 line definition!

theadmin,  yea i did it from terminal but nothing happend
g3ntek:  on 12.04 or 12.10 ?
dr_willis, 12.10
in 12.10 - its under the Software-sources manager tool in a tab
Oh wow, crazy place to put it
Guys I solved my problem. Thanks for trying to help me
they should have made a link from jockey-gtk to call that softare-sources tool and select the rght tab. ;)
dr_willis, yea i found it thanks but there aren't any founded drivers for me ? :(
dr_willis, how can install Nvidia driver?
g3ntek:  you could just try installing the nvidia-current package and see if it works
thats all i ever really do. ;)  'sudo apt-get install nvidia-current' then reboot
on 12.04 u doing that? or 12.10 ?
dr_willis: Aren't you supposed to do some madness with "nvidia-xconfig"?
theadmin:  in 12.10 i dont enve need to run nvidia-settings to get twinview working by default. ;)
dr_willis,  after running nvidia-xconfig from terminal im rebooting and my resolutions limits to 640 max..
dr_willis: Crazy computers.
640x480
dr_willis,  then why 12.10 my resolution after installing limits on 640x480

Hey
jilebedev: I never tried that, why do you want to do it?
where is /etc/inittab ? or where do we now set ~:S:wait:/sbin/sulogin in 12.04 ?

I'm having an issue with a usb-vga graphics connection in 12.10 and was wondering if anyone would be able to help?

ActionParsnip: no. but it is identified for lsusb
much of the issue is summarized here https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1050566, but it stands unresolved

How can I check if there's a new version of a program and if there's, I'd update it through terminal?

if you want newer that what's in the repo, download from developer's site and manually install
ActionParsnip: One point that I noted in the bug report was that the ID needed to be added to the driver table under sisusb_table, but I'm not sure how that is done. Any ideas?
manual drivers work loololololololool
That is the error I get
bearlockhomes: seems to use the sisusbvga driver
bearlockhomes: you may need an xorg.conf to make it fly
i run "sudo init 3" and nothing happens, why?
designbybeck,  try installing and running testdisk
xrs1 should "Disks" within 12.10 allow me to format it/fix it?
ActionParsnip: That was alluded to in much older versions (circa 9.10) with the same issue but figured enough of xorg had updated through 12.10 for that to not be necessary.
am I misreading the free output here?
don't have anything called "Disks" in my 12.10 distro
xrs1:  I don't care about the content I just want to format it so I can try a new Distro
ActionParsnip: I'll give it a try. Just as a refresh xorg conf should go in the dir /etc/x11/xorg.conf?
testdisk should fix whats wrong

designbybeck: Or just sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdd bs=512 count=1
gparted doesnt work?
hello
ActionParsnip: Sounds good. Thank you for your time.
designbybeck: ( will wipe just the MBR so gparted thinks it's unpartitioned )
bearlockhomes: is the system a laptop?
designbybeck: genii-around: Wiping the MBR won't remove the GPT signatures.
genii-around:  Jordan_U how do I see which my USB is mounted as?
ActionParsnip: yes, thinkpad t500 ATI radeon
designbybeck: "mount"
bearlockhomes: makes sense then
wow Jordan_U simple! I didn't know that would display that! where has that command been the past 4 years!
ha
Jordan_U: Ah, interesting. I don't have any GPT stuff yet, not overly familiar.
ActionParsnip: could you elaborate? Is there something related to lenovo drivers?
designbybeck: I would recommend using "fixparts" (from the gdisk package) to remove the GPT signatures. Then parted will be happy and you can do whatever you want from there.
hmm I see /dev/sda1 but isn't that my harddrive?
bearlockhomes: i was just going to suggest a PCI video card if the system was a desktop
so I need to install gparted in 12.10 correct Jordan_U ?
doesn't seem to be installed by default
ActionParsnip: Gotcha. Thanks again.
designbybeck: Yes (it comes in the LiveCD environment, but isn't in the installed system by default).
How would I change the bitrate of a .FLAC file?
Thanks Jordan_U that worked
TommehM: That's a somewhat odd request, given that flac is a lossless format (and reducing bitrate would almost certainly require loss of quality).
TommehM: Can you? I mean, flac is lossless, why would it have different bitrates?
does this look ok?>>> http://imgh.us/hdd.png
designbybeck: You're welcome.
WeThePeople: is that supposed to be an aligned ssd ?
_r00t_, no its a hdd
ide
just wonderinf what that 1mb is doing at the front
WeThePeople: That is for alignment purposes. http://www.rodsbooks.com/gdisk/advice.html
I'm on 12.10 on a dell xps 15z. When i boot my laptops touchpad and keyboard don't work, only external mouse/keyboard. ideas?
Flynsarmy: are there bugs reported?
ActionParsnip: a bit new to this, where do i search for the bugs?
that 1MB is system reserved space (grub can have issues installing without it)
Flynsarmy: did you follow this: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport/Machines/Laptops/Dell/XPS/15z
Flynsarmy: seems the touchpad needs a little tweak in config files to work
Flynsarmy: have you used that link before?
ActionParsnip: in 12.04 i had to use acpi=noirq boot option. in 12.10 if i use that it won't boot, if i don't use that it boots but only external mouse/keybaord work. and yes, i've used that link beore
Flynsarmy: did you use the trackpad fix?
ActionParsnip: yes, it worked in 12.04 but not in 12.10. i think it's a diff issue
Flynsarmy: did you do all the group messing around and installing bumblebee etc?
Flynsarmy: http://askubuntu.com/questions/131246/problem-with-ubuntu-12-04-dell-xps-15z-keyboard-trackpad-graphic-card   seems to offer a different boot option
ActionParsnip: thanks, I'll give both a try
Flynsarmy: could just reinstall Precise if it is known to work
ActionParsnip: this is a brand new precise install :)
Flynsarmy: then its 12.04, not 12.10
hello. i try to activate vaapi on a laptop with intel 4500MHD. when i execute vainfo, i only get two profiles: VAProfileMPEG2Simple and VAProfileMPEG2Main. how to get the h264 profiles as well?
Hey quick question I have ubuntu server and I am encountering a problem with my ip address. It is set to static but like once every now and then it changes and my port forwarding breaks, If I reset the network interfaces it gets the right ip address and works until it changes again. any idea what might cause this?
ub_libr1: there is a post on webupd8 about that sort of thing that I saw today, may be related
@ActionParsnip: thx
How are sudo sessions tracked and managed? (If I elevate to sudo in a terminal session, is it [academically] possible to hijack the sudo "cookie" in another and get root access?)
Hey did a quick search on Google, didnt find any actual fixes just a lot of complaints. Basically Im trying to run Ubuntu 12.10 on a AMD Phenom II X4 3.6Ghz, 7970 3GB, 32 GB Ram and on an SSD but its going unbarably slow. It doesnt register clicks on programs unless they are already in focus and sometimes decides to ignore them and eventually after about 10 minutes the fans in my PC are going crazy and it
 crashes
just wondering what it could be? New to the new Ubuntu, havent tried running linux in about 3 years so not sure where to look for any errors
I cant start up any programs as its really really laggy
interesting
Plornt: did you install the proprietary video driver?
so
No
I literally just installed it
Plornt: tht'll be why then
about 20 mins ago
ah
you know how you open a terminal, and you enter a command, and it pops down a line...
I cant run anything though
Plornt: also get fully updated
i want that to happen but in reverse
i want the prompt to move up a line instead of down
Its literally too slow to do anything
its as if I was running on a 20 year old machine running XP
Plornt: sure you can, press CTRL+ALT+T and in the terminal run:  sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade; sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
example, say you enter a command like sudo apt-get update
Ah
and the lines move up as the next command is run at the bottom
Ill write those down and give it another try
well i want the lines to move down as the next command is run at the top
Thank you
is that possible?
does anyone even understand what i'm asking?
I understand just dont know the answer :P
lol
debian says nope. not without writing a shell, i'll ask in #linux
matlock: not sure why you'd want that
for s's and g's
Does anyone know of a good fileindexing program, similar to beagle or tracker?  I'm looking at Pinot, but I was wondering if there were others that people liked.
matlock: yes, the sudo timeout is managed by the system somewhere
matlock: i'm not sure where but i know what you mean
...
matlock: not something I've really considered
:|   are you sure you're understanding me ?
sudo just needs to save a file like /tmp/XX-authenticated. No biggie.
matlock: as far as I know, yes
gusta157: can it be captured though?
ActionParsnip, i'm asking if there's anyway for the terminal to scroll up instead of down.
to put it short and vague
matlock: hold shift and ctrl and pgup should work if memory serves
:|
matlock: its some combo of ctrl/alt/shift
matlock: that'd be cool. I don't know of any terminal that does it, though. :/
no, no no.  l
there stobix has it
a terminal that outputs backwards
basically
matlock: you should make it go right to left while you're at it. ;)
only not backwards in ltr rtl,   i want my prompt to start at the bottom and move up
matlock: Try writing on ONE line, not 10.
gusta157, sorry, it's a habit that's hard to break.
matlock: I know but anyway. It's hard to read. So much text wizzing by.
better that than Instant Wall Of Text, I'd say
matlock, you can, it is called natural scrolling, there is a ppa for it ( not in standard repo's)  https://launchpad.net/~zedtux/+archive/naturalscrolling  found @ http://shuffleos.com/4156/how-to-install-natural-scrolling-in-ubuntu-11-10-oneiric-ocelot/
matlock: oh so tyhe latest outputs are at the top
yeaaaaa
hah, cute that they call it "natural" scrolling
OerHeks: the default terminal scrolls up when commands are ran, matlock wants one where commanmds are typed at the top and the results scoll down
ActionParsnip, yes.
stobix: 1+1=3.
stobix: its half makes sense
matlock: http://serverfault.com/questions/152310/reverse-bash-console-text-flow
OerHeks: ^
ActionParsnip: whose half was that now again? ;)
stobix: well, if you put your finger on a piece of paper with text on and push it UP, the text scrolls DOWN
oh i thought i understand this is what matlock wanted.
OerHeks: yeah took me a while too, its a tricky one to explain
stobix: i guess its for those weirdos who use 'invetrt mouse' in FPS :)
ActionParsnip: If I move my finger around on a piece of paper, regardless of whether the paper is still or not, there is no scrolling involved in any way whatsoever.
ActionParsnip: haha, yes. :)
stobix: if you had a static viewing area with the paper moving within it, youu'd see it
ActionParsnip: actually, my dad was like that. He thought of the mouse like a rudder from a boat, imagining an fixation point for the axis from the mouse to the pointer
stobix: horses for courses etc
* stobix has no idea what that meant, but nods agreeingly, hoping that noone will notice.
stobix: its a saying
Well, that part I got... :)
stobix: translates to, different people like different things
Heh, why not. :)
* stobix levels up.
HAHAHAHA.
my ubuntu 12.04 regularly crashes,, is there a log somewhere I can tell what is happening?
I'm trying to create a live USB from Mac OSX 10.8 by running this
sudo dd if=/Users/armenzg/Downloads/ubuntu-12.10-desktop-amd64.img.dmg of=/dev/rdiskN bs=1m
so far I'm getting this: dd: /dev/rdiskN: Operation not supported
any ideas?
armenzg: does mac os use sudo?
I'm not sure
armenzg: It's not supported as it states the obvious
I think so
armenzg: i'd check in an mac channel, also check the device name you use
armenzg: why not just use unetbootin?
ActionParsnip: what is that?
I would like to install Ubuntu on VirtualManager ftr
armenzg: Have you substituted the N when you run the command?
*VirtualBox
armenzg: http://www.ubuntu.com/download/help/create-a-usb-stick-on-mac-osx
hmm... natural scrolling is reverse scrolling
Does ubuntu have any command that makes my graphics card a better one so I can play minecraft again? </lament>
Cannot send to channel o.o
adknight87__: step 8 was not very clear if I had to replace N
Back again
I'm trying now with N=2
like you bring the wheel up and the page moves opposite than that which normal people use
Run diskutil list again and determine the device node assigned to your flash media (e.g. /dev/disk2).
I don't get the same result
It's very clear
it is waiting
you are using "Disk2" so n would be 2
as an example
armenzg: instead of asking, why not search the web....
on step 7 it is specified explicitely by saying "(replace N with the disk number from the last command; in the previous example, N would be 2)."
this sounds like a welcoming place
I cant remember the name of who I was speaking to previously but basically the commands worked and did what they did but its still slow :( Im on Ubuntu now and its noticiably faster but things still are not responding to clicks and typing is sorta lagging behind.
armenzg: well, it frees people up to help others now you have been given a little direction
amenzg: MEANS that the disk that's you want as a live disk would be the one to choose
programs dont open properly either
armenzg: if we had to spoonfeed everyone everything we'd never get anything done. Try some initiative
by that I mean they dont have "focus" and I cant click to use them
Plornt: sup ;)
I was going to offer fixing the docs to be more explicit
Ah thought it was you :P
EXAMPLE: Disk2 =unmountDisk /dev/disk2
have you installed the propriatary video driver yet?
there are better ways to suggest initiative
nvm
Oh I thought they was commands that do that automatically :P I see. Ill do it now
armenzg: read it over clearly
was the*
does anyone mind if I ask noob networking question quickly, as I'm struggling to setup port forwarding.
armenzg: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick#From_Mac_OSX   then links to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/How%20to%20install%20Ubuntu%20on%20MacBook%20using%20USB%20Stick  which has a link to http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/
Gandalfb: on where what?
hello, how we check if linux container successfully running ?
I will look into that
armenzg: its all available to you online..
ActionParsnip: can you help me guys ?
blackshirt: ask and see :)
When is the new nVidia driver coming out?
Actionparsnip: I feel like scotty first coming to view the Enterprise
gusta157: ask nvidia
adknight87_,  just a quick one,  I have virgin media router,  with forwarding setup on port 80 http traffic,  the computer that its being forwarded to is setting on netgear router/hub, that is daisychained of the virginmedia router.  Do I need to setup forwarding on netgear router as well? Or will it just act as a hub?
WOW I like this ship
Oh god... cant click to open the thing
hello guys, how we check if linux container successfully running ?
Plornt: ok i'll get the command
Forward too
ActionParsnip: Are nVidia in charge of Ubuntu packages for their drivers?
adknight87_, I apperciate it's not a strictly a linux question, I'm just trying to get a http server going in linux, and I think this is my final hurdle
Plornt: sudo apt-get install fglrx fglrx-amdcccle; sudo aticonfig --initial
gusta157: no, but they make the driver
GandalfB: if you want the internet to see that one of your computers has a webserver on port 80 you have to forward that port for that ip of the host machine.
gusta157: so ity can only be made by nvidia
thank you :P
adknight87_, I've done that I think, do I need to do anything in linux to open that port also?
I'm using xampp and I've opened up httpd.xampp.conf so outside ips can see the content
gusta157: http://www.itworld.com/software/306227/install-nvidia-beta-driver-31014-ubuntu-1210    you can get the beta driver
GandalfB: Then it's a matter of checking remotely and from the localhost itself.
anyone know when steam will be 'open' beta?
ActionParsnip: 130.19 has been released. But I think that driver will break bumblebee. But thanks anyway.
GandalfB: test from your own ip then so forth on the network
debian squeeze out
I can see it internally,  on differnt pc on the network, using ther external ip
but I think that might be the router looping back
im having trouble getting my secondary hdd to mount auto at boot using Disks
when I check on my mobile wirelessly, using 3g it times out
I might die tomorrow and I need to know if anyone has a guesstimate on steams release.....
gusta157: bumblebee is a mess imho, best avoided
GandalfB: what's the ip
vlad65,  steam is beta NOW
ActionParsnip: I agree. But without it I don't get any 3D acceleration. The internal stuff is slow.
closed beta as far as I know, when did it go beta?
86.27.81.99
hi. I installed ubuntu 12.04 on my old notebook. it freezes booting at some io port probe, what can I do?
vlad65,  I got key last week
bibweaver: closed beta to 1000 people. But you can still get the deb
actionparsnip im having trouble getting my secondary hdd to mount auto at boot using Disks
can u help me bro?
I downloaded the deb and installed, steam starts up then tells me it is closed beta only and shutsdown
KRomeleoN: tried adding it in /etc/fstab ?
GandalfB: I see it
what parameters?
vlad65,  you have read the wiki ?
GandalfB: 3G isn't exactly reliable
no what did I miss
what parameters should i use on it?
adknight, you do.... the silly note to my gf?
vlad65: you need to start it with: steam steam://open/games
GandalfB I only pinged
is it forwarding port 80
KRomeleoN: look at the file /etc/mtab , see the partition you want to autoload at boot?
http traffic
vlad65,  you might like to read this https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Valve
KRomeleoN: the number of possibilities is astronomical, so there is no single answer to 'what parameters'
as I supposed to be running a webserver on that ip
the disks app used to do it wasily
Ok it is much much faster now and less noisy
however
still got the issue of not being able to focus on programs
GandalfB: Make sure your firewall isn't blocking the connection for incomming
thanks dog
worked
amen
?? vlad65
For example if I was to try and start a new download on firefox and the download window appeared I wouldnt be able to click anything on that window and it would "go through" to the window behind it
I also cant click any of the menu bar options like close maximise and minimise
really not got a clue why though
hello. i just wanted to express my gratitude to the people behind ubuntu. if it weren't for this distro, we very likely would have a lot less *nix'ers than we have today. mr. shuttleworth's contribution to the community is incredibly valuable, regardless of the limited reputation ubuntu has amongst other *nix'ers. thank you to pass this on to the responsibles, thank you for reading, thank you for your time. g'bye!
do 3g network just clobber network connectivity for the sake of cheap service?
help!!! Error: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.Spawn.PermissionsInvalid: The permission of the setuid helper is not correct
almoxarife: I think it's safe to say they are not very big on 3G anymore
dougmencken: what is the output of:  lsb_release -sc
ActionParsnip: sid
dougmencken: then its debian
(debian dudes banned me)
dougmencken: ask in #debian
(on all networks)
dougmencken: doesn't mean you can ask here
(even on oftc, etc.)
ah
dougmencken: i'd take it up in #freenode
dougmencken: about the ban
wow, cool
Kafka...
I can't enter Unicode characters with Ctrl+Shift+U anymore. Help!
dougmencken: why ar eyou running sid when you can't fix things like that?
dougmencken: sid is the unstable...
ActionParsnip: I accidently did some overwrite operation while being root
dougmencken: i see
and I need help
here is not the place sadly
why ubuntu 12.04 live cd works on my old notebook, and installing it does not?!
enriq: what's the issue when you try to install ?
dougmencken: Write down what happened while you're waiting on #debian.
With gnome classic 12.04 I can't get the windows to roll-up. I used the gnome-tweak-tool to set double clicking the window to shade toggle, but it only maximizes... Is there a fix.
I can no longer enter Unicode characters using Ctrl+Shift+U, what can I do to fix that?
ikonia, it installs ok but then no desktop appears (I choose autologin)
gusta157: I said that they don't care for me, and for powerpc architecture
enriq: what do you get /
dougmencken: can we please drop it in this channel please.
enriq: do you get web access in the liveCD?
helo?
ikonia, sometimes a screen only background, sometimes a cursor
ikonia: no problem :)
hi yugi302
enriq: there are two install disks, the live and the full blown out no frills gui, the 'alternate' i believe, that one always works for me
dougmencken: great, thank you
can i get help with error in  terminal when i try to install a different desktop enviroment
ericab: have you tried booting with safe graphics ?
ActionParsnip, yes I do have internet in the live cd
yugi302: What error would that be, and what is the command you're installing the desktop environment by?
oops, that was for enriq
um hold on....
this is nice: $ ssh --help
You don't exist, go away!
sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop tried to install this
(I *need* ssh, and I can't even reinstall it)
dougmencken: please, we are not interested in your debian system at this time
E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11: Resource temporarily unavailable) E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it? then got this
enriq: befroe you run the installer, run:  sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install ubiquity gparted; sudo apt-get clean
ikonia, it used to say there is an error in the graphic config, I tried "low res only for this session" and nothing. But after that, it won't longer boot, it freezes cheching some pcmcia io ports
ikonia: okay, if your Ubuntu SSH is a lot different from Debian SSH... okay
yugi302: is software centre open, or are updated installing?
see you later maybe
dougmencken: great, thanks, bye
yugi302: updates
You can restart the computer else
ActionParsnip, I boot with install cd, choose "try ubuntu" and then do all you say?
Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it?   i tried the 2nd one then got this
enriq: intersting
Are you installing updates or new software, yugi?
yea
i have to w8 till its over?
Yes. Sorry!
enriq: yes, the command upgrades the installer and partitioner apps. May help
yugi302: yes, only ONE app can access the packages at one time
yugi302: same with Windows installer :)
dedis: ping. please see #ubuntu-ops. i think you have a ghost connection.
ok srry im new to ubuntu
ActionParsnip, ok doing it
It's fine honey, this is where everyone comes for help!
Hello , Everyone , I am having a trouble compiling my C code on Ubuntu 6.04 distro , when I type the compilation command cc code.c I get this message : bash: cc: command not found , is there an explanation for this?
ActionParsnip: Got a minute to help me with Unicode character entry? My ctrl_shift+u bork'd
6.04 is long out of support
are you seriously using Chessur1 ?
Thisguy_: not had to mess with that stuff, sorry dude
Aww, thanks anyway
you dont have teh developer/C stuff installed Chessur1 ...
ActionParsnip, the commands ran ok but it says nothing to do
also sometimes my computer comes to a black screen with a lot of words,errors i assume,i usually hold button till its off,but what does that mean and am i supposed to do
ms_daisy: Yes.
ActionParsnip, i.e. gparted and ubiquity are last versions already
enriq: what video chip do you use?
yugi302: Depends on when that happens and what the words are! When does it usually happen? Are you on a laptop/netbook?
ActionParsnip, an old nvidia
yea alaptop
dr_willis: I tried something like sudo apt-get install build-essential but it did not work. what would you suggest?
Perhaps it's overheating. Try Jupiter.
ActionParsnip, but I wonder why in hell the "try ubuntu" works!?!
huh who jupiterwhays jupiter
I bet it takes as much time to tell people something is unsupported as it takes to actually help them.
gusta157: you bet wrong
Jupiter helps laptops conserve energy and not heat up as fast. Is it hot when it blanks to the error screen?
is it an app
Yes, it is.
at ubuntu software cente
enriq: try the boot option:  nouvea.blacklist=1
It runs as a daemon but it isn't in the software center, I don't think. I installed it from a ppa.
ActionParsnip, where that?
huh??
ppa
...layman's terms, go to their website and run a couple commands.
ppa means personal apt repo.
It's not in the official Ubuntu program list.
so how would i install jupiter
ActionParsnip, could it be related to language? I mean, try ubuntu is in english, I try to install in spanish... doesn't make sense but...
You should go to their website for more into, try google to find them!
google ppa?
No, google Jupiter.
A ppa is a location where apt-get can install programs from.
oh ok srry
Jupiter is a program! :P
I would really appreciate it if someone could give me some directions here.
http://www.ubuntugeek.com/jupiter-light-weight-power-and-hardware-control-applet.html    i found this,but updates still rinning
oh w8 there done :)
cheez0r: reinstall with Precise. 6.06 is so dead it's untrue
Chessur1, you're using an antique operating system. I can't imagine you could compile much on it.
ms_daisy: We used to compile on worse than that , trust me lol.
It may help with what I assume is your overheating issue.
ActionParsnip: Okay , how do I do that?
hi I'm on ubuntu 12.10 and read a lot of about bumblebee not working on this version. Which tutorial should I follow ?
cheez0r: same way you installed 6.06, just with a newer version. YOou can restore user data from your backups
Hey again! >.<
How do I set my DNS to something else as in 8 8 8 8  in ubuntu ?
my laptop never burned out on windows?
Fixed my mouse issues using CTRL ALT F1 then CTRL ALT F7 somehow! Have to do it every time I restart though but now I am having this issue when trying to use multiple monitors :( http://i.imgur.com/R5oCa.png
I've found Ubuntu to consume a little more power, but maybe it's not your problem.
Like I said, is it hot when it crashes, yugi302?
not really it has words i dont get and says what  i think means its trying to restart a program or try to resume
I'm trying to make qbittorrent my default program for torrents...anyone know how to do that?
SkyFall: use the network applet, drill down to 'dns' server, enter ip there
hi I'm on ubuntu 12.10 and read a lot of about bumblebee not working on this version. Which tutorial should I follow ?
Hmm, not sure how to help you there without knowing what exactly it says. Did you try google for some of the phrases it crashes and says?
Google is your friend!
Almxarife it only has the option to add additional DNS servers ?
is that it ?
how important would you rate a kernel upgrade from 3.2.0-31-generic to 3.2.0-33-generic on precise on servers
SkyFall: yes, that is it
almoxarife ok, thank you.
do not obviously see if it is security related on the package page
mutante: depends on the changelog
Plornt: you have a GUI app to configure displays, not that one
keeping the kernel updated is definitely a security thing mutante
Ohhh Catalyst control center
I feel like a dumbass since these things dont just occur to me
mutante: when it is convenient (maintenance window etc), reboot the server and you will load the new kernel
Plornt: you'll learn with time :)
ms_daisy: yea, i just need to prioritize it somehow and schedule those reboots caused by kernel upgrade as opposed as to other packages
ActionParsnip: sure, exactly what i am doing, just wondering if i do that before other pending things :p
Plornt: ati / amd drivers have come a long way :)
you could use nessus for that mutante .
thanks all, i will just do it anyways on the side
is it normal my Lubuntu install has apps crashing quite often (with that new 12.04 LTS crash reporting pop-up window)? it's usually lxpanel, pcmanfm, but also bluetooth, etc..
my memtest has always shown no errors
Thank you ActionParsnip :)
how do i got about getting a unafilliated Cloak
it's something freenode handles
Tweikable, go to #freenode
^
Anybody know what to do if Unicode character entry with ctrl+shift+u stops working?
martian742:  or its just a crash log thats never getting cleared out.. you do see the apps crashing? or just seeing reports?
dr_willis: they crash, some ask for being restarted, some die and have to be re-run manually
dr_willis: it's disappeared for a few days now though
Who would have thought a loft bed was so hard to draw up
I have some questions. I'm new to Linux and want to install it onto a Samsung N110 netbook.
currently has Win XP on it. Ideally I want to remove everything and just have Linux on it. Clean hard drive and no windows if possible
anyone able to help?
Liveware: it often works to really just search for that model and add prefix "linux on" and get detailed reports
like if there are issues with certain hardware components
Liveware:  thats doable.. but you sure you will never want xp on it?
mutante: only stuff I've found is for running linux alongside win xp
Liveware:  you could do a full install to a flash drive and test it out that way
dr_willis: yep, never
dr_willis: its an old netbook I other wise never ever use
Liveware:  the installer has a dialog/question where it asks 'use the whole disk' you just say yes....
hmmmm....
dr_willis is alive!
Liveware: i am dr_willis, dont toss xp yet, some file in the xp side wont run in linux, there is always one, install linux, wait a 6 month then toss windoz
Liveware: you can also use http://goodbye-microsoft.com/  it is a win32-loader.exe, can click it from XP let it do its thing, reboot
i clone the image of the hd from my netbooks to a file. just in case i ever want to restore
If had linux installed alongside it for about 4 months. This netbook is an older machine I never use. Abandoned it 2 years ago. all useful data has been backed up and transferred ages ago
dr_willis what do you use to clone I have nothing bigger then a my laptops hard drive. Which is a staggering terabyte.
hoping to breath new and actually useful life into it by installing linux
Liveware: in that case, go for it, overwrite the hs with linux
hd
i use dd and external usb hds ;)
Liveware:  you may want to use Lubuntu on it - if it has low specs.
so normal desktop version or better to go with 'netbook remix'?
i use the google-drive, it will outlast me
Liveware: i guess maybe ideal would be to have the former Windows machine as a VM in the new Linux afterwards.. not sure with free software but vmware converter could do such things (convert physical to vm). then it is a handy "disk file" that can be moved around and started anywhere
Liveware:  there is no longer a netbook remix
but it is even more comfortable than multiboot
ah okay. thanks :D
Liveware:  you should test with a live usb to be sure your networking/wireless is working also
unless you can go wired. in case it needs work. ;)
dr_willis: its been working so far having it run alongside
or have a usb wifi dongle that works out of the box.
whenever I boot into it it picks up the wifi instantly
Liveware:  if its allready isntalled. yo could just delete the windows partions.
unless you want to do a clean install.
clean install ideally
go for it then. ;)
almoxarife: What do you do to make a virtual wifi on your laptop?
adknight87__: what do you mean? virt-wifi? use the host wifi? so confused
almoxarife: hostapd + dhcpd
almoxarife: added a shortcut to my launcher so I can enable and disable it on the fly
hello anyone ...
when I run wubi.exe to install it only lets me select either C drive or D drive (no option for whole HDD) and only lets me set installation size to 30gb max
why?
Liveware:  you dont want to use WUBI if you are goiong to get rid of windows..
wubi installs IN/ON the windows drives
liveware, you should one ....
make a live usb.. boot it..  tell it to use the whole hd = no moar windows
choose one
bare with me :P I'm not this bad with most tech. just new to linux.
ah okay
Liveware: but you can have more than one virt-drive
 
Liveware: the "win32-loader.exe" is different , it does a "real" install after reboot,,but it is Debian
forget wubi ever existed... best thing you can do
Liveware, wubi would make image file .....
ah okay cool. thanks.
so live usb. boot. install, whole drive. then magic happy fun time :D
good luck ...
Hi, I am trying to install Ubuntu 12.10 on a Macbook 2,1 but after the parition it crashes, any ideas?
is signing up to amazon web services and getting a ubuntu virtual machine there just like buying your own computer but cheaper?
dr_willis: Besides it running wubi isn't so bad I've made a 160gig img for ubuntu :P
adknight87:  friends dont let friends use wubi...
htc: no
dr_willis: So kind :D
dr_willis that needs to be made and sold on a t shirt :p
what is the difference, ikonia?
htc: it's a shared resource instance on a virtual platform hosted on the ineternet......what do you think is the difference
ciao
list
If you would like to play around with a second computer, isn't AWS a good way to do it and save money, ikonia?
hi
htc: up to you
thanks, ikonia!
Hi, I am trying to install Ubuntu 12.10 on a Macbook 2,1 but after the parition it crashes, any ideas?
hello
ActionParsnip, no luck with noveau.blacklist=1
black screen :(
I have a pogoplug Pro, and I want to install ubuntu server on it, it does not have a screen so I will not need the gui in case it comes with it which I doubt anyways.
Is anyone familiar with the process?
update - thats the Live USB being made now
My laptop, when on battery power, sometimes spins the cooling fan full blast without regard to temperature or anything else. It just stays on full blast. It occurs more frequently when I resume from standby. As soon as I connect the power cord, the fan spins down and regulates itself as usual.
jibual, like your vga problem... Have you try alternate version ?
This issue is particularly bad because it kills my battery
Liveware, what do you mean by update?
okay, I'm really upset so I apologize in advance if I get short with someone.
So far, the only solution is to reboot until it stops happening, which if I'm unlucky, is even more costly to my battery.
get short..... :) gosh no
another acpi problem
blackshirt: vga problem? no havent tried a different version
i dont think my problem is a vga problem
rafase282: I was asking some questions before. letting anyone here who was reading before know i am following their instructions
jibual, try use alternate version of ubuntu installer
aka updating them
hilo: what model and make is the Laptop
blackshirt: but i want the latest :(
ah okay, I thought you were answering my query.
adknight87,  HP 6530b
first, my setup: Toshiba Satellite dual-booting Ubuntu 12.04LTS and FreeBSD-9.0-RELEASE-p4. doing pretty good over multiple shut-downs over the past week (including 6 with a custom kernel). I use GRUB as my bootloader. Last night I booted into Ubuntu to move some files onto an ext2 partition I use to move stuff between Ubuntu and FreeBSD. While moving those files I run the update manager (hadn't done so in a month, figured it was time, I also sp
end most of my time on FreeBSD). After the updates, i could not boot into FreeBSD. it doesn't show up as an option in GRUB.
rafase282: no sorry. a little to new for that :p
ok my new install freezes at: pcmcia_socket pcmcia_socket1: cs: IO port probe 0x3000-0x7ffff: excluding 0x3000-0x30dd 0x3400-0x34ff 0x3800-0x38ff 0x3c00-0x3cff
hilo: http://tuxtweaks.com/2008/08/how-to-control-fan-speeds-in-ubuntu/
enriq: assume the lesser worse case, the install media was corrupt, create new, install again
almoxarife, I can boot from the cd and "try ubuntu"
ah okay
I'm downloading the server image fro arm
Hey guys.
hopefully I can just copy the rootfs there and the device will boot it like it does with archlinux-arm
So I installed gnome and the login screen is certainly not unity, however when I actually log in it goes back to exactly how it was before.
enriq: fine, the live works, the install does not, is there a 'alternate' iso for what you are wanting to install? that is my first option
privateDlister: you might have it set to use gdm
privateDlister: lightdm is the unity login
I figured it'd be something like that, but I dunno how. I chose the standard gdm when i installed gnome
almoxarife, same thing happens with 12.04 and 12.10
enriq: tell me that happens with the 'alternate' and i will tell you to forget trying to install
privateDlister:  sudo dpkg-reconfigure lightdm
almoxarife, what is the "alternate"
I'm not sure what went wrong or how to fix it at this time.
almoxarife, the alternate is no more
Do I get brownie points for being here
adknight87: set it to GDM?
oh now it booted!?
privateDlister:  lightdm
bazhang: really? would the net install resemble the alternate?
Feels weird this trying to get me to gnome... OK, I'll reboot and see what happens.
adknight87, how do I use this to control fan speeds? When I try to run the program "sudo /usr/sbin/fancontrol", it tosses back an error saying there is no configuration file.
just to say thanks to almoxarife/dr_willis for helping out. My netbook is now happily installing Ubuntu instead of win XP and I cant wait to have a nice little back up machine :D
thanks
hilo: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=42737
brb
adknight87: yeah that did what I figured it'd do. I actually want to convert to gnome for a while,
well this is apparently randomly freezing at  pcmcia_socket pcmcia_socket1: cs: IO port probe 0x3000-0x7ffff: excluding 0x3000-0x30dd 0x3400-0x34ff 0x3800-0x38ff 0x3c00-0x3cff
Anyone else know how to sort it? I tried installing gnome, and while the login screen has gone to gnome nothing else seems to have

thanks for the reading material ActionParsnip
for some reason I get stuttering every 5-10 mintues when watching video
ActionParsnip, emmm... not explicitly I think... maybe the video card is pcmcia or something
it doesnt seem to effect videogames or anything else. Just video stuttering with flash, VLC player, DVD player, HTML5 players anythiung video or audipo
*auio
*audio
bazhang: probably not, didn't know I needed it.
12.10 ... how can i view the activity of my cpu in a scrolling chart type display ... as the windoze taskman ... seems i used to do that on older versions of ubuntu ???
Tex_Nick, is this gnome-shell, unity shell, or what
bazhang : unity
Tex_Nick Psensor
ActionParsnip, sorry maybe I don't understand... I mean, I don't have any external pcmcia card
Tex_Nick, not sure about unity shell, for gnome-shell there are several extensions that do exactly that
Using unity on 12.04 after closing the only active window, i can't switch workspace right away ( ctrl+alt+cursor ) , i still have to click on desktop
adknight87, I can't find my chipset in the configuration file as instructed in the link. My chipset is ICH9.
bazhang ... it must be gnome that i'm thinking bout ... hey thanks
Hi, I have a problem with inconsistent booting. A report is on launchpad
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/1081819
Skibicki ... looking for info on Psensor
Tex_Nick you may need to install lm-sensors before psensor
Skibicki : hmmm looks good ... i'g goint to give it a go ... thanks
bazhang: no that didn't work. Does you Xchat minimize to the tray?
im using xubuntu 12.10, fresh install.  i go to the ubuntu software center and whenever i hit install, it just does nothing.  why would this be?  http://paste.ubuntu.com/1376149/ here is the traceback when i run from terminal and hit "install"
is there any downside to putting cron jobs on a drive that mounts after complete bootup and using a symlink ?
Somehow my IP got added to /etc/hosts.deny for sshd. I can ssh in under a proxy and remove that listing from the file, but when I exit that ssh session it gets added back somehow. Does anyone have any ideas?
anyone care to take a stab at helping me cool down my laptop... it's been cleaned out and cputemp sits at appx 95 not under load? running 12.04 64 bit
joffery: if you close software centre and run:  sudo apt-get update     is it smooth?
My laptop is a 138
18VAAGTCI: what make and model?
does anybody know how to configure the MAIL command to be able to send email. I try to send emails but they wont get send out. any thoughts/]?
F
ActionParsnip: travelmate (acer)
ActionParsnip: 8572G
cowsquad: could be a firewall issue
is duplicity the default ubuntu back up software?
my update installer app always opens up in a screen that doesn't exist
how I do I make it open on the correct output?
well when I install the mailutils progran, some screen pop out and i select something, but I dont remember what option was.
like it's open but there's not window
like it's in the memory location of my HDMI port where no display is connected instead of my VGA
ubuntu also doesn't recognize my monitor and won't let me use it's native resolution which is equally frustrating
18VAAGTCI: its a dual GPU system
18VAAGTCI: nvidia and intel
ActionParsnip: you got it
18VAAGTCI: is that right?
extropy: you can force it to use a resolution
18VAAGTCI: thats why then
18VAAGTCI: dual GPU's confuse ubuntu
ActionParsnip: I had a sneaking suspicion... any work-around to kill the nvidia
Isaban: can I force the update install to open on a display that actually exists instead of "invisible land"?
Isaban: I have tried multiple different distro's
extropy: use apt-get
Isaban: puppy, opensuse, ubuntu
18VAAGTCI: http://www.webupd8.org/2012/01/bumblebee-30-released-nvidia-optimus.html
18VAAGTCI: all linux systems are going to have problems with duel GPU's
18VAAGTCI: its far from good in Linux with switching rubbish and is best just avoided imho
Isaban use apt-get for what? uninstall/reinstall the update manager?
extropy: naw, use apt-get to update
ActionParsnip: agreed as this thing is more of a panini grill than a laptop
extropy: then you can at least have updated
I just installed xchat and it threw me in here. how do I go to a server that isn't in this predefined list? D:
Isaban: I can isntall updates just using the update manager's icon ... it just never shows me a window for the application
18VAAGTCI: may also help https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HybridGraphics
extropy,  i imagine theres some setting file that may have rembered its location and is somehow confused. you could try cleaning out old configs.. and also check for any config files owned by root. those can cause all sorts of weird issues
ActionParsnip: I tried bumblebee in the past but had no success with the temp going down
ActionParsnip: however I'm willing to give it another go here
Dr_willis any idea what the name of the conf file would be
18VAAGTCI: the commands in the hybrid guide may help
guess I can just google it
extropy: did you ever have a second monitor connected?
HH: try:  /connect irc.server.net
ActionParsnip: I will most certainly take a look at both, tyvm
ActionParsnip: I will get back to you in a bit here, temp already up to 98
Isaban: I did at one point connect an HDMI display when I had one but no longer have access to an HDMI device
extropy: that's the problem
it's trying to open it on that device
Isaban: why does it try to open it on a device that it should know is no longer connected. Also, why is it that when I close the update manager and re-open it the window comes up on my connect screen but when it automatically launches itself it opens up on the screen that doesn't exist?
that would suggest that it's launching using two separate configurations
or rather a predetermined configuration and then an automatic one, depending on circumstances
hmmm, that's strange. I don't know why it is doing it. Did you install with a second monitor?
sure didn't, something tells me that the GPU itself might consider my VGA output secondary and my HDMI output as primary, perhaps?
ya, that's possible
look at the docs with the card
ActionParsnip, can i disable pcmcia?
I find that the newer the hardware I try to use with linux the more problems I have
case in point my Atom D2700 box won't even finish booting in 64-bit ubuntu desktop
extropy: that's cause support has not been added
Isaban: as someone who owns the hardware and could test future efforts to support it is there anything I can do to move the process along? I'm not exactly a kernel hacker, driver-guru
How can I move the clock on my taskbar? I'm on Ubuntu 11.10, classic desktop
enriq: if you blacklist the driver module it won't load
hi team! any advice for 10.04 install on compaq presario?
12.04 oops
extropy: best way is to look at crash logs and submit them
enriq: could also disable the slot in BIOS if you can
Ebay5150: what do you mean?
system running really slow after install
Ebay5150: in what sense?
Ebay5150: what video chip do you use?
nvidia geforce 6150 le
ActionParsnip, ok trying bios way
Ebay5150: did you install the proprietary nvidia driver?
ram & cpu Ebay5150 ?
yes, now using update 173 on the list
GeForce 6-series probably needs the legacy driver, maybe I'm thinking 5-series
Ebay5150: it will run with nvidia-current
ciao!
extropy: I run a 6150 on the 260 driver :)
hmm, might have to revert back to the basic driver then
ah, maybe I'm thinking of my old GeForce 3 Deluxe, lol
Ebay5150: remove the driver and install the nvidia-current package, you will use the 295 driver and it'll be ok
cool, will give it a shot...
default should be find, I'm guessing nVidia's "experimental" drivers are strictly for Fermi or newer
anyone with bumblebee and nvidia 310 driver?
so what actually launched my update manager automatically, cron?
extropy: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1376180/ :)
Ebay5150: ^
ActionParsnip: so I just bounced after installing bumblebee... now to get my screen resolution back... don't even care about 2d vs 3d desktop at this point
tyler_d: try installing the xfce4 package, log off and log in to the XFCE session, you'll probably have a smoother time :)
ActionParsnip: ooh, that sounds like a descent idea
tyler_d: no compiz or compiz using offloaded CPU stuff
.
ActionParsnip: what's the actual package for xfce?
I love low-end window managers like xfce, fvwm, blackbox, etc; so lean
tyler_d: xfce4 is a minimal xfce desktop
extropy: xfce is a desktop, it uses xfwm4 as the window manmager :)
I'll bet compiz is what's bringing minecraft to it's knees when I try to run it now that I think about it
ActionParsnip: ahh
extropy: I'd put money on it
Hello
Hi, I'm using unity on 12.04 after closing the only active window, i can't switch workspace right away ( ctrl+alt+cursor ) , i still have to click on desktop before I'm able to switch, is this normal?  I never experienced this with older ubuntu versions
ActionParsnip: so that's simply the xubuntu-desktop from what I'm seeing yah?
tyler_d: that will install lots of other apps too, its an option
tyler_d: xfce4 is just the desktop and nothing else :)
ActionParsnip, how to I blacklist for example yenta_socket.ko
ActionParsnip: only 270mb of space... how far we have come
man, speaking of which, anyone minecrafters find a way to get Java to stop switching to my desktop in the heat of combat? it's insanely frustrating
enriq: echo "blacklist yenta_socket" | sudo tee -a /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf > /dev/null
leogitimate: are you closing the active window with a keystroke?
ActionParsnip: temp is moderatly improved at 59... but I think we can do better ;)
ActionParsnip: well, more than moderate
tyler_d: hehe my Raring install is a little over 3Gb with full compiz / unity / Gnome / codecs and so on.
nydel: no, with the close button
ActionParsnip: I have a second system(to replace this one) its a dual core on a solid state that is just under a gb
tyler_d: nice
I'm trying to get the rootfs from ubuntu server which is on a img file on my usb stick
after the app closes, it appears to be still active on the panel
ActionParsnip: brutally it's 2x faster than any of the ones in the office b/c of the ssd
I try to mount it to copy the content but im having trouble mounting it
quick question: why isn't a kernel being installed in /boot when i run "apt-get install linux-image" ?
how to make software raid in 12.10?
although i see via conky that the application is no longer running
and/or update-grub ?
tyler_d: I'm trying to make the OS load fully to ram on boot, then recreate the squashfs file on shutdown. Faster than any SSD :)
ActionParsnip, cheers
leogitimate: try closing it, pressing "escape" on keyboard then switching workspace with the normal hotkeys, tell me if that works please. & have you tried this with multiple applications or only one in particular?
ActionParsnip: price of ram I think that's a noble endeavor
tyler_d: plus moving web cache to RAM also reduces wear
tyler_d: what are you using for ram management?
tyler_d: thats why I'm trying. Its hard. Boot times will be AGES but the OS will scream along
ActionParsnip: brb, going in on xfce
anyone else have problems with keyboard and mouse input in Java guis?
I think it's an OpenJDK problem, maybe I should ask there
extropy: my mouse fails when on fullscreen
nydel: it appears completely unresponsive to keystrokes.  until i execute a mouse-click on the desktop
I bet this question is never asked, but how does one get rid of the silly desktop antics on 12.04 so that I can get my own wm running on top?
egal: I've never seen a linux distro play minecraft without this problem. It would be a miracle if it ever got fixed
ahhhh
tyler_d: better?
dibblego: just install your own wm and chose that as the session on login
extropy: Never has happened on any of my distros
dibblego: you may have the option in the sessions menu in lightdm
egal: "lsb_release -a|pastebinit" and show the link here
somsip: I want gnome to run my wm
leogitimate: does it matter what application you close, or does it do this with anything? and is it only when you close the last application, that is, does it happen if another application takes focus?
extropy: i've never played mc :)
ActionParsnip: slightly mehtinks... I'm not sure the screen resolution is any better, but certainly a lot cleaner off the hop... bit of tweaking and I'm a happy camper
Triclops200 are you using Sun's JVM or OpenJDK?
dibblego: what wm?
extropy: OpenJDK
nydel: behavior is the same for all applications
somsip: xmonad
Triclops200: I'm interested to know how you accomplished this. Are you speaking the case of minecraft specifically or all Java apps?
ActionParsnip: updating now, but temp is 55... aaaahhhh
nydel: looks like i found the culprit, it was conky, if i kill it, behavior is normal
dibblego: I use a tiling wm too. Just choose it on login, and gnome will do whatever it needs to do AFAICT
extropy: All apps have worked fine for me also. On both icedtea (openjdk) and suns/oracles
extropy: All. I'm not sure how, it used to act up for a while, but it fixed itself a few months ago. In the meantime, a fix is to drag the window to the very top left before fullscreening
somsip: I typically set up xmonad a bit differently, due to gnome being a monolithic beast
extropy, ive solved those issues by updating liblwjgl within ~/.minecraft
dibblego: I installed ubuntu minimal, then installed my wm (awesome), and allowed any gnome dependencies to be picked up as required. works fine
vivid: interesting, so it's a liblwjgl problem then?
extropy: Triclops200: OJDK 6 + 7 sets mouse when window maximized
dibblego: I tried xmonad, use awesomewm. It is faster and more customizable. Much less buggy, too.
extropy, as far as i can tell.  yes.  minecraft ships an old version.  if you go to their website and download the package, just swap out the files within your local minecraft install
Triclops200: I very strongly disagree
I don't play in fullscreen my box can't really handle it.
dibblego: That's great.
dibblego: If you enjoy xmonad, stay with it.
extropy, fullscreen doesnt reliably work in unity anyway
leogitimate: i have some problems like that, i keep scripts somewhere in $PATH to kill programs that don't end themselves & cause problems. just a few lines, a shebang & "pkill firefox-trunk" or whatever. you can also set a hotkey to execute one of those scripts in keyboard section of settings. so you're all set then?
dibblego: so you do have as solution?
hi all, why can I not play youtube videos in Ubuntu?
somsip: I have a variety of solutions, just trying to find something workable with 12.04
i.e. gnome3
nydel:  yes, probably an issue with my conky config.  but it's all good i'm glad that it's not a but that i have no fix for
opieng: Use chrome, it has a flash implementation
dibblego: on 12.04 here, but from upgrades from a previous version. Again, works fine
opieng: chrome specifically, chromium is missing these plugins.
ActionParsnip: how do I increase my resolution now
opieng: also, make sure the adobe-flash package is installed
leogitimate: we all run into problems of this nature or similar when working with system-monitoring programs sooner or later :)
ahhh I see, thanks, theres me updating from 11 to 12.04 LTS thinking that would solve it
I just tried installing ubuntu 12.04, I have two drives
i selected 'install along side' and it deleted EVERYTHING on the second drive
I'm trying to make an UbuntuLiveCD and I've followed these destructions: ( https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomizationFromScratch ) but when I attempt to boot I get the error "E: Unable to locate any package files, perhaps this is not a Debian Disc or the wrong architecture"
it did not ask which drive I wanted to use
it just deleted everything
I have a number of ubuntu server 12.04 boxes but only one is sending igmp requests to 224.0.0.1. Why would it be sending these requests and can I turn them off?
but it IS a debian disk and it IS amd64...
ah man, if this fixes my problem that would be marvelous, thanks vivid, others
opieng: gnash is veeery buggy, stick with flash.
anyone have any hints on how to build an Ubuntu Live CD?
I was thinkign 12.04 changed a lot of thigjns with remastering.. but ive never tried it.
so any guidea may be incorredt if they are older
one big meta package ?
question: I've been using xampp on windows for webdevelopment and recently build a webserver and installed ubuntu on it. I've installed apache2/php5/mysql and confirmed that they work. Where should I put .php files. I've tried var/www/file.php and var/www/htdocs/somefolder/file.php but the website is not displayed in firefox @ http://localhost/somefolder//
Dr_willis, that's what I was afraid of...  I've not tried the dell utility, but all the others have been dead ends...
permissions heather ?
thanks all
Heather_, you can set the name of the host in /etc/hosts
okay
Heather_: Is apache working? Does apache have read and execute permissions for the file, and have you tried rebooting?
does anybody know how to access the Mail command reconfigure screen prompt?
like 127.0.0.1       localhost     could also be 127.0.0.1     hostname
you can also change in apache to have many hostnames
but back to the question :
cowsquad, you mean:   sudo dpkg-reconfigure
thanks
compdoc
what is the package name
well, I dont know - I use nullmailer. what do you use?
ActionParsnip: tada.. and I'm set
tyler_d: sweet
so... can we take http://linux.dell.com/wiki/index.php/DRU_Disc_Remastering_Utility off the ubottu factoid somehow?  This page is no longer valid.
Heather_, you can change all that stuff in apache sites_enabled
ActionParsnip: so far, 45
ActionParsnip: cut it in half...
mailx
anyone know any softwares that can help me with getting used to using the terminal and start building up my knowledge and skills with using the terminal?
or mailutils
opieng, check out gregs guide
ActionParsnip: thanks so much for the recommendation... hopefully the performance reflects it as well
(
hello guys...
opieng: just try to use the terminal more instead of GUI apps, you'll learn
opieng,  http://wiki.bash-hackers.org/scripting/tutoriallist
new in ubuntu server
bobweaver okay I'm in that file atm and DocumentRoot is set as /var/www
eval (lamdba () (display "STOP IT"))
)
that means that If I put my index.php file in there it should be displayed given the permissions for reading the file are correct?
Heather_: Yeah
Heather_,  you have tried to make folder like  sudo mkdir -p  /var/www/foo     then making a php test file ?
in foo
I did try the default index.html and created test.php with arbitrary code and it was displayed in localhost
Heather_,  try making index.php in var/www/foo
okay
then call 127.0.0.1/foo/index.php
cowsquad, mailutils is just a set of programs to send and test mail. Its not a mail server. You might open software-center and search for mail and see whats installed
Heather_: pastebin the result of `cat /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default`
compoc, okay thank you
Fantastic Ubuntu manual, but it seems more about the GUI than using the terminal
bobweaver it worked with and without index.php in the end.
Heather_,  you made index.php test
yes
opieng: try doing file maoves and so forth in terminal instead of using nautilus, update your packages in terminal instead of (slow) software centre
opieng: stuff like that
just need to make my projects index.php to show up aswell.
ActionParsnip, yes thats exactly the stuff I want to do
12.10 unity ... i have what seems to be a stable build on a new pc build ... i want to install my most common apps ... then mirror the build onto an old hard drive, so i can easily reinstall when i do something stupid that renders the systen useless ... best method ???
install through the software sources for that version
Tex_Nick: if you make a small partition for / then you can make an image and store it
Tex_Nick: something like 10Gb will be enough.
ActionParsnip : my / partition is currently 93Gb ... maybe i should downsize a bit ?
ActionParsnip, wonderful I got it booting. Thanks!
hi
what is the file permission means
-rw-r-----
?
ActionParsnip, now my 6 y.o. kid can have ubuntu on his first machine
Adeeel: read and write for the owner, read for the owners group
Adeeel: Means who owns the file read=r write=w
x=execute
and
-rw-r--r--
?
whats the difference in both ?
Adeeel: well, that file is the same, but everyone gets read permissions, not just the owners group
oh
so this must be the issue
Adeeel: so if a user is in the sudo group, other admins could read the first file, but everyone can read the second file
 i have 2 boxes
is there anyting in libav**-53 that is not in libav**-extra-53? just wondering before I go ahead and install the ubuntustudio-audio metapackage. Thanks.
-rw-r--r-- <<--- works fine and logins fine
-rw-r--_-- <<--- not working fine
-rw-r----- <<--- not working fine
-rw-r--r-- is 0755 ?
Adeeel: its just a file read issue then
yeah
need to fix it
755 sounds right
and -rw-r----- is ?
700 ?
750, I think
Hello! I have a backup script named ''backups'' in /etc/cron.daily. Anacron does not run it. I tried to investigate, and ran 'run-parts --test /etc/cron.daily'. My script showed up in the list. So I went and tried to run 'run-parts --verbose /etc/cron.daily' and I got the following output: 'run-parts: failed to exec /etc/cron.daily/backups: No such file or directory'. It should be noted that I can run the
 script with 'bash backups' with no errors. Any ideas?
each number is a bitmask
chmod 755 username ?
I have a 12.04 box that's sending a packet to 224.0.0.1 every 2 minutes. How do I disable that?
to change it ?
ReAzem: is the execute bit set? cron needs that
phy1729
MiningMarsh, it's at 755.
firewall
deny packet from me to 224.0.0.1
Adeeel: I'd prefer to apt-get remove the offending process
no idea about that :|
phy1729: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1886913
I should add that the following line says : run-parts: /etc/cron.daily/backups exited with return code 1
mindstorm
phy1729: how did you find out about the traffic?
MiningMarsh how can i fix it ?
ReAzem: did you run run-parts as sudo?
how can i change -rw-r--r--   1 Globe   shelln   982B Nov 19 17:53 .shrc
to -rw-r-----   1 Globe   shelln   982B Nov 19 17:53 .shrc
?
MiningMarsh, yes
Adeeel: sudo chmod 640 .shrc
Adeeel: It's showing up in the iptables logs on another host
ActionParsnip: ^
Adeeel: r = 4, w = 2, x = 1
Adeel: chmod 640 <file>
Adeeel: just add together what you want :)
oh
640
Adeeel: yes,  r + w == 4 + 2 == 6
how would I make a bash file to run a wine application from a link in a browser with the url as a defined attribute to run with the application
adknight87: you could have the link point to file:///usr/bin/scriptname     for example. Not sure but it sounds ok in my head
something surely is messed up
any bsd expert here ?
su: /home/shelln/Bird/.bashrc: Permission denied
but there is no .bashrc file inside /home/shelln/Bird/

ActionParsnip: I was wondering if a protocol would be launching the application with the varable of the url to be placed with the run command
is anybody here?
who wants to know?
no
Adeeel: wait for the singularity...

Ubuntu-10.04...I have multiple o/s installed...I can mount another o/s...but when I open a file the info is the same as the Ubuntu file...Can the file be edited using mount ??
chill all
my bad....did anyone see my question in all that
like a hot day and a ice cube melting
ok so primary system kubuntu 12.04 but I installed ubuntu-desktop, I dont seem to be able to use my sudo passwd when in unity
also how come kdm shows metacity as a login option now but nothing happens when you try it
Ray2,  what file exactly?
ActionParnsnip: Well actually I what "Exec= /Application/to/run/" "$1"<------ the script will take the URL from the link and add it there
some things run with metacity --replace
like fast things
or things on older computers
dr_willis Moneydance.deb financial manager
Ray2,  you mount 'filesystems' not OS's - im not sure what you are doing but i bet you are somehow mounting the wrong filesystem to a location.
why would you be editing a .deb file anyway?  I think you need to clarify to the channel what you are doing exactly.
bobweaver: I remember having to do something that when beryl came out
with that*
Dr_willis: burning his system down heh
Hi, I'm using ubuntu 12.04 and chromium, and I seem to've lost sound in the browser, used to have it, not now.  I can still hear files played in Totem Movie Player.  Any ideas?
flash cornell
?
cornell: unmute your sound
lol
gogeta,  chill brother
Well, something that plays swf files.
or sister
cornell,  you mean you lost sound in flash videos? I noticed the volume mixers had a seperate slider for fdlash videos for me.. not sure why
cornell,  yeah that is flash
you can try to rip a flash and play in totem to test ?
do you have a script that does that ?
like that uses lsof ?
Oh, ok, Dr_willis, I'll look into that.  Don't know how to rip youtube videos.
theres dozens of flash downloader extensions
Dr-Willis.. I mount Mageia2 and get the file system with the header reading Mageia2  then open /opt/Moneydance/Moneydance but the file is the same as Ubuntu's file...I want to make entry in that program from Ubuntu
cornell,  I have a script if you like it is perl
k, bobweaver.  Do I need to install something to run perl?
Ray2,  where did you mount the filesystem Mageia2 to?
I can't figure out which pid I want to kill via the "top" command  but I can pick out the window. isn't there a command to do it with a mous click ?
nope cornwall all you do is save script and make executable
g00053,  ps aux | grep  <app name >
 Ray2  /opt/whatever would be the opt directory on the OS you booted...    you are using a full path
g00053,  xkill
Dr_willis: How to get to the mixer?
So i installed 12.10 (3.5.0-17) 64 bit ubuntu. broadcom wifi worked. let the system update itself via desktop app, rebooted. wifi no longer works. the "wl" module no longer exists. trying to install bcmwl-kernel-sources says i don't have the kernel-sources. I installed linux-sources-3.5.0 and linux-headers-3.5.0-18
Dr_willis, tanks!
cornell,  i use that pavucontrol tool
cornell,  http://paste.ubuntu.com/1376295/
g00053,  carefull with xkill, right click to cancle the killing
is it pretty common for incredibly minor version upgrades to break ubuntu in this fashion? how do i fix this?
how to cntrol the dsl connection by commandline??
gene-laptop: are there bugs reported?
Devilinside: control in what way?
Dr_Willis...I mounted it in Ubuntu using places>Mageia2
i mean connect to dsl connection or create one.
Ray2,  and what path are you using to access the files on Mageia2?
bobweaver: the paste seems to be a single word: ripper
woops

howdy peoples. I'm having an issue with my optimus laptop and bumblebee on ubuntu. If I do optirun, I'm getting this error: [ERROR]Cannot access secondary GPU - error: XORG NVIDIA(0): Failed to assign any connected display devices to X screen 0
I found a whole support thread about it here, but still no dice: https://github.com/Bumblebee-Project/Bumblebee/issues/187
I'm having some trouble getting 12.10 to run on my notebook. When I boot the livedisk, I am taken to a login page asking for a username and password. I have been googling but I can't find anything about this.
DR-Willis..Once I mount Mageia then I get the window with /opt etc
cornell,  I can make .deb if you like I think I made before
and i have installed ubuntu by wubi, how do i get to change the root passwd, if i ever forgrt it??
Ray2,  thats your problem then... its NOT going to be in /opt/whatever   it will be in /media/somthing
deadlyquirk: press CTRL+ALT+F1 and log in there and run:  passwd ubuntu     you can then set the password and press CTRL+ALT+F7 and log in as expected
cornell, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1958405
Dr_Willis okay thanks
bobweaver: it's a perl script, just text, right?
there is deb of ripper with stupid gui that I should write in c++
ActionParsnip: When I go the TTY1 I am not even getting a login prompt. I am seeing a message that says "authentication error"
correct it is just text
like are scripting langs
there is some regex and vars and case and functions in there also but in the end it is not assembly code
lol case and functions I am funny sometimes cornell  that is program humor not you it is me :)
cornell,  there is deb in link that I gave you so you do not have to make script run deb comes with gui
k
but it is for 64 bit
ir 32
s| ir | or
that is something that I do not like about packaging for debian all any 64 i386 ect , that and there is no option in stanza to make Removes: but there is Depends :/

guys steam has managed to fill up my /home partition and I'd like to resize it but I'm not sure what to use since it's LVM
i also tried in #bumblebee
is there another?
newroad,  you installed xswat ppa ?
yep, nvidia-current 304.64, the one for steam
so ubuntu is now hard locked
Is that the troubles?  OH you want the bumble bee for steam
and bumblebee 3.0.1
newroad,  and sudo apt-get install bumblebee bumblebee-nvidia    no workie ?
it dropped my secondary wifi connection and networkmanager is taking 100%CPU and i cannot reboot or shut down
lemme try that
pretty dope upgrade!
genewitch,  you can file bug for us to see more about it ?
already got that bob
bobweaver: i don't even know where to start
problem is, i cant even do glxgears
you have tried to press ctrl+alt+f1 and  login and sudo reboot ?
newroad,  can you run a couple things for me ?
bobweaver: yeah sudo just hangs
shutdown just hangs
optirun glxgears gives that error: r
reboot just hangs
[ERROR]Cannot access secondary GPU - error: XORG NVIDIA(0): Failed to assign any connected display devices to X screen 0
yep, gladly
newroad,  what about this ?    /usr/lib/nux/unity_support_test -p
what do you get pastebin plz
pastebin | newroad
well, im using cinnamon
will that work?
er
no, im on ubuntu with cinnamon
Oh
you can not get steam ?
going ?
i can't even get glxgears going
you have tried the channel #ubuntu-valve
er
the report a bug series of pages on ubuntu.com are just a loop
newroad: cinnamon is not supported anyways
i assume that's by design
this error is clearly an error with my bumblebee: [ERROR]Cannot access secondary GPU - error: XORG NVIDIA(0): Failed to assign any connected display devices to X screen 0
 /join #inediblepie
ok I am not gamer at all in fact want beta key ?  j/k anyhow try asking the great perople @ #ubuntu-valve
*sigh* this is not related to steam or cinnamon..
I hate nvidia that is 60 % of the questions here ?
Can I use my laptop as a wireless repeater?
Oh sorry newroad  I guess that I miss read

could anyone tell me why MySQL is sooooo slow on Ubuntu 12.04 ?
For some reason the mouse on my gf's desktop that has 10.04 will randomly stop working.  Is there any kind of debugging program I can use or a terminal command to find out whats going on?
Actually  MySQL is not slow,  it's  crippling!!
Found the mixer
Marius80: are there bugs reported?
antonio_, you can gather all devices info from /dev/*
There's an entry for ALSA plug-in [chromium-browser].  It's at 100%
Marius80, What ActionParsnip  said
ActionParsnip, yes,  one bug with ext4 filesystem,  already tried the workaround,  but did not work
cornell,  what do you mean 100% ?
the workaround is  barrier=0  in /etc/fstab
Well, full on. loudest
bobweaver: it outputs /dev/audio: command not found
but as I said,  nothing happened
maybe it's a different bug
Marius80,  you can file bug ?
a  Joomla  installation on my localhost took 14 minutes
ANd I have sound
Marius80: Tried a different filesystem if ext4 is a known issue causer?
bobweaver, maybe it's a well-known bug,  so that's why I came here before filing the bug
er ok Marius80  please file bug and tell us in bug what happens then we do not need to flood the irc chat
ActionParsnip, not yet,  I would need to set up the system from new
Ok... that's interesting, bobweaver.  The ALSA etc. entry... disappeared.
Marius80: working fine here on 12.04. On ext4 too
Can I use my laptop as a wireless repeater?
Marius80: or is it haveing the databases on Ext4 causing the issue? Then you can make a partition to store the data
Marius80,  that is why ubuntu-bug brings to page that asks what you are filing and looks to see if already filed
So is the answer to my problem "reinstall ubuntu and don't let it upgrade"?
roll back to 12.04?
k I will file it
thank you so far
antonio_, looking up /drv maping
Marius80: have you tried mariadb?
mapping * \
thanks
genewitch: you can hold shift at boot and select the old kernel to boot
Marius80: in the past, when I've been forced to use mysql, I've found mariadb to be an excellent replacement
genewitch: you may be able to humour the installer with a symlink :)
ActionParsnip: hmm
dougbb, will applications designed to run with MySQL automatically support MariaDB even if not mentioned by the installer?
ActionParsnip: holding down shut does nothing
yes ... in my experience, which is not universal of course
genewitch: its a bit of a hack but worth a try
ben64-droidy: sure, run your wifi promiscuous  with wireshark, take the logged file and and send it out via wifi to the connection of your choice
thank you dougbb
almoxarife - that doesn't sound possible
genewitch: if you run:  cd /usr/src; ls  you will see the header folders.
Marius80: worth a shot anyway
dougbb, MariaDB is not in the repository,  is it?
Marius80, i'd listen to dependencies as stated in a given software, and not assume other things'll work with it.
genewitch: if you run:  umame -r   you will see the kernel version you are booted to (be sure this is the troublesome kernel)
genewitch: you can then make a symlink in that folde
ben64-droidy: thats the easy part
dual Head & different monitori resolution can be avaiable  with Radeon9200 (rv280?) and radeon dirver ?
ActionParsnip: Just to be sure I reran md5sum and it matches. I tried putting it on a fresh usb stick and its still throwing errors.
ActionParsnip: make a symlink to what
genewitch: so that the folder for the kernel headers is present, when really its just a link to the previous kernel's headers
It is a UEFI machine. Should I be using another version of the ISO instead of ubuntu-12.10-desktop-amd64.iso ?
deadlyquirk: have you tested your RAM using memtest from the USB stick?
genewitch: may make a shaky driver but it may just be dumb enough to work
genewitch: plus it's easy to roll back :)
ActionParsnip: how do i increase the grub delay so i can just switch kernels on boot?
i am trying the symlinks
ActionParsnip: Ram is good. It boots and runs Fedora 17 as well as Windows.
deadlyquirk: its worth testing, just to be sure
hello
deadlyquirk: also try a different usb port
antonio_, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zBsT1aW5K44

Yes, I found the mixer... and the settings, and I saw the ALSA volume for chromium...

ubuntu nexus 7, whats it like?
does it have tweaks for touchscreen such as muti-finger gestures for moving windows/desktops;
I have never ever ever had issue with chrome nor chriomium  ever with soun dafter making sure that I installed them correctly . but not to say that it dont happen maybe that is more of a hardware thing As I tend to make sure that all parts and computers that I by are opensource driver ready
Hello! Where in launchpad bug files i can find some computer id and hardware info for computer ive lost? I found in bug report LSPCI but where is info about HDD size? I need to find this old info to prove witch is my comp. One guy took mine.
someone rooted a nexus 7 to put ubuntu on it?
dooml0rd,  libutouch is GREAT !
No dougbb  we just made iso and lots of armel woork
i'm just watching a youtube video on it;
kangarooo: df -h
question: Why does the defualt 000-default apache file change when I change and save the copy of that file?
i'm fairly tempted by a nexus 7 - i dont have an android tablet as yet - but if it would run ubuntu i would be a *lot* more tempted
there is rooted if you want to call it that in the install thingy well that is hard
Nexus 7 is AWESOME !!!!!!!!!!
go for it dooml0rd nothing but good things to say on this end
there is a iso for it also
Chipzzz: ok that ill do when ill test that comp but where in LP i can check to compare comp ID and mother board and HDD manufacturer and all its info? I want to give this info to police couse one huy took my comp.
orga made it ?
I'm thinking of getting a nexus 7 if I can find a good enough black friday deal
can you "dual boot" android/ubuntu
dougbb,  and doomlord  there are manything that the armel team and linaro are workingon
doomlord: its already been done
working on *
I want to find in LP my old comp ID info. Where is it? In lspci file isnt all info.
having said that, i think i would really like ubuntu permanently
dooml0rd,  there are some issues and a bug testing sqad going on
Linux Action Show - Ubuntu on Nexus 7 : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GMLNyTG49_w&feature=g-all-u
D_Russ: I suggest you remove the printer you have setup, then power off the printer iteself. You don't need the installer script, just install the debs in the packages folder
if you would like there are many many people that where working with it at UDS and also there is wikis for it also I 100% recommend it over any tablet
so cool
i think a desktop grid would work well on a tablet :)
ok
hey guys, is there a way to disable the keyring thing on ubuntu no one else uses this computer and the whole startup/boot up process is getting annoying
but there is other tablets that can run off metacity also and also 10 ft interfaces are great dooml0rd  I am making one want to see ?
actionparsnip: it shows already installed
i am reinstalling
doomlord: I hate that grid thing. It's one of the first things I kill off
D_Russ: cool
arthur_: one way is a blank password (not too secure)
actionparsnip: is a restart in order?
D_Russ: once you reboot, relogin and power on the printer and set it up again
D_Russ: i would :)
does "globalmenu"work ok on a touchscreen? like pulldown gestures from the top edge of the screen ? (i think you'd want the menu displayed permanently instead of being cursor-activate)
dooml0rd,  check it out brother https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pER9B5Jo5dI
thanks
ActionParsnip, doesn't really matter to me if it's 'secure' or not. but using a blank password would mean that I won't get that prompt anymore? i mean if I turn on my computer and walk away get  back then empathy will be fully logged in too?>
what that is not the right link ;)
arthur_: then set a blank password and it won't bother you :)
i think i saw asome video with 3-finger drag moving windows around withtout needing to aim at the titlebar
arthur_: yes it won't prompt you
thanks!
lol sorry dooml0rd  here is a link of unity 3d running on panda board with hacked up code

Beep doesn't produce any sound when it's run :/ How do I enable PC speaker or Intel HDA emulation?
What appeals about the nexus 7 is pocketability - i can imagine always carrying it in a jacket pocket
anyone run across 146.831065] hid-multitouch 0003:1B96:0F00.0009: usb_submit_urb(ctrl) failed: on a multitouch screen (ubuntu 12.10, sony vaio 11)
one other thing. just installed the restricted drivers. how do I get back to the regular drivers? just deactivate the restricted on in "Additional Drivers"?
so to have a "real" os like ubuntu there would be awesome :)
doomlord: customised roms for the nexus 7 make it an actual tablet compared to the stock os
day one dooml0rd  day two ;)
s
running paranoid android on the nexus 7 is the closest to perfection for a 7" tablet, and is actually usable by everyone and not just developers/fantatics :P
dooml0rd,  what about things like the atrix 2 ?  and other things like that eff the desktop all together  there is the all in one with system 76 now but tyat is off topic sorry al
nexus 7 is complementary to my current gadgets
so. the upgrade broke ALL wireless, not just the onboard
i can get a connection for a minute, but then it stops working and keeps asking for the wifi password over and over
genewitch: have you tried editing the wireless config?
I switched to the old kernel 3.5.0-17 on boot and the wl module isn't in that modules directly
dougbb: if i wanted to edit files i'd be in #gentoo
I didn't say files
and don't be an ass
genewitch: which kernel has the wl module?
ActionParsnip: neither, now
ActionParsnip: the update removed the package with the module i guess
genewitch,  wait a second can we see       lspci -vnn | grep 14e4          then pastebin it and the bot will tell uou more
and i can't rebuild the ,mmodule
genewitch: then I would remove then re-add the driver
i dont like windows8 but i think some of MS's ideas are interesting for a tablet ui.. the live tiles make sense
windows 8  for a tablet is so silly
genewitch: use jockey
+1 ActionParsnip
http://paste.ubuntu.com/1376351/
ActionParsnip: i can remove it but i can't sucessfully reinstall it
but if jockey is not reading the card number but the other number ()()* um... like lspci and lspci -vnn show different things that is what I have seen alot of in Ubuntu that esp jockey that it is not reading it right
win8 tablet seems like a glorified android
their screen-edge gesture ideas are ok too - i think its good to have the whole screen available
genewitch: is the system a laptop?
http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/b43
ActionParsnip: yes
dooml0rd,  think about metacity and unity-qt
genewitch: then use a wired connection and get sorted, may help
* bobweaver mouth waters 
IMO win8 RT is a slight of hand. they want people to buy it thinking its a true "computer" OS, because of the windows name, when  infact its cutdown
ActionParsnip: get sorted?
it is on wired right now
fix *
unity-qt? qtrazor?
wired works, just the broadcom and the realtek cards stopped working on reboot. what is jockey
almoxarife,  sorry that is what it was called in the start when it was QT
sup
genewitch, additional drivers it is also called
genewitch: what is the output of:  dpkg -l | grep bcmwl
genewitch: check something, is linux-kernel-headers installed?
it looks for proprietary things using scripts  genewitch
genewitch: jockey-text -l
almoxarife: i think so
ActionParsnip: ii bcmwl-kernel-source and a bunch of other stuff
K
just installed the restricted drivers. how do I get back to the regular drivers? just deactivate the restricted on in "Additional Drivers"?
genewitch,  if you will tell us the card # then bang we can really help you
genewitch: make sure linux-source and linux-headers-* is installed
that was my problem with the nvidia driver
genewitch: do you also have b43-fwcutter installed?
Butcho: they're installed
bobweaver: i pastebin that info
http://paste.ubuntu.com/1376351/
genewitch: can you also pastebin the output of:  dpkg -l | egrep 'bcmwl|b43-fwcutter'
genewitch,  14e4:4727  you see that ?
you can match that up with the drivers page if you like to ?
yes that said to install bcmwl-kernel-source
http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/b43#Supported devices
bcmwl-kernel-source installs, but doesn't do anything, it says: Module build for the currently running kernel was skipped since the kernel source for this kernel does not seem to be installed
genewitch,  paste what ActionParsnip  asked plz
pastebin it plz
that is
ActionParsnip: the one on the 12.10 amd64 liveCD installer. 3.5.0-17
ActionParsnip: but after update, that module is no longer on the system
***      ActionParsnip> genewitch: can you also pastebin the output of:  dpkg -l | egrep 'bcmwl|b43-fwcutter'       ***
oh
i didn't see that
bobweaver: thanks
genewitch: sudo apt-get install build-essential
actionparsnip: no luck
ActionParsnip: yeah that also doesn't work, usr13
oops
ActionParsnip: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1376367/
usr13: says dpkg-dev is needed but is not going to be installed
genewitch: sudo apt-get --purge remove bcmwl-kernel-source; sudo apt-get clean; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install bcmwl-kernel-source b43-fwcutter
ok
hi need some help with MTP devices
not everyones favourite topic i bet
i'm more concrened that everything i do in apt-get install says required pacakges have not yet nbeen created or been moved out of Incoming
ActionParsnip,  this - > is going to be nice to watch to see if it is wl or b43
anyway, in ubuntu 12.04, i could get to the devvice via the ~/.gvfs path
but now in ubuntu 12.10 how do i do that?
i can only access it via nautilus
errr  proprietary hardware
bobweaver: bcma, wl
bobweaver: i could have told you that
and it is some weird path name like gphoto://[usb:002,002]/
lspci -k when i first booted ubuntu up
just installed the restricted drivers. how do I get back to the regular drivers? just deactivate the restricted on in "Additional Drivers"?
genewitch,  yeah the broadcom-sta-* :)
so why am i not installing that package
IDK
is it installed genewitch  ?  lsmod | grep wl
genewitch: did the symlink not work?
ActionParsnip: results of your command line: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1376381/
mind you, i already did all of this before coming in here
but not pastebin, so at least it's consistently broken
genewitch,  plz do this  sudo apt-get install pastebinit
then
bobweaver: I have that installed.
genewitch: what is the output of:  uname -a
dpkg-query  -l | grep  broad*
Linux genewitch-700Z3A-700Z4A-700Z5A-700Z5B 3.5.0-18-generic #29-Ubuntu SMP Fri Oct 19 10:26:51 UTC 2012 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
isitwl=$(dpkg-query  -l | grep  broad*) && echo $isitwl | pastebinit
genewitch,  ^^
bobweaver: there's nothing in the output about broadcom
then it is not installed
so is b43 ?
I KNOW.
NO
lspci -k showed bcma, wl for the broadcom4313 chip when i first booted
then install the 2 pakages
what two
packages
genewitch: sudo modprobe -r b43 ssb wl brcmfmac brcmsmac bcma; sudo modprobe wl
no no no you have to look at the card **number **
4313
nope
which can use STA or bcmwl
is there a large difference between the iso for 12.4 and the one for 12.4.1?
lspci -vnn | grep 14e4
what is in red ?
bobweaver: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1376351/
4727
deadlyquirk: later packages, requiring less updates after the initial install
good now look at chart
http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/b43#Supported devices
14e4:4727     no (WIP)    BCM4313     b/g/n       LCN (r1)    wl/brcm80211
bobweaver: funny, because it worked both with the installer and after i rebooted
ActionParsnip: I'll give it a shot then. I need to stop downloading stuff like this at home. My net connection is too slow...
bobweaver: then when i did apt-get update && apt-get upgrade it stopped working
so to get the right one according to the page that makes mods you need to install these things I will list off 1 sec
Furthermore, this wifi card works perfectly in gentoo. I can swithc it out for any number of other wifi cards (intel, ralink, etc) but the realtek USB card i have is ALSO freaking out.
So i'm not willing to open the laptop up again on a whim.
genewitch,   sudo apt-get install broadcom-sta-{source,dkms,common}
ok
god for gentoo
good *
lol
use gentoo if you like I mean use what you like and want
ralink maybe firmware ?
bobweaver: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1376391/
bobweaver: so that's also a no go
so am i reinstalling?
about the wireless pci thing... my netgear v3 is not working in my ubuntu
and just not letting ubuntu upgrade itself?
why is that?
apt-cache show broadcom-sta-common
genewitch,  ^^
yes, screenfuls of stuff
Man I can't figure this out. I can't get the link to become a part of a scripts exec
genewitch,  here break it down
 apt-cache show broadcom-sta-common | awk '/Filename:/,/Size:/
woops
 apt-cache show broadcom-sta-common | awk '/Filename:/,/Size:/'
much better
or if you like to break down more
apt-cache show broadcom-sta-common | awk '/Filename:/,/Size:/ {print$2}'| head -n 1
noliverh: what wifi chip does it use?
bobweaver: so i got sta-{source,common,} installed, but dkms fails with the same error that bcmwl-kernel-source did
ahh what is kernel # ?
uname -r
3.5.0-18
3.5.0-18-generic
headers are installed ?
genewitch,  ^^
yes. should i purge them, bobweaver
yeah purge and re-install headers and then re-start computer (better then re-build kernel to fix bug) cough cough gentoo
genewitch,  you can also add mods that are not added to kernel 'sudo modprobe <name of mod>'
bobweaver: i know that, but wl doesn't exist
bobweaver: also, did the purge remove and reboot, still same error
bobweaver: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1376401/
if i upgrade my ubuntu from 12.04 to 12.10 will my ssh key i generated change?
chubz: for sshd or your RSA/DSA key
genewitch,  Module build for the currently running kernel was skipped since the kernel source for this kernel does not seem to be installed.
i.e. the .pem file
bobweaver: yeah, that's the error that i came in here to fix
oh so many hours ago
okay like 2 but still
genewitch: wait... so if i upgrade the ssh key i generated will be gone? i need my key cause its tied to some github repos.
genewitch,  what are you doing with kernel ?
genewitch,  http://askubuntu.com/questions/89542/how-to-build-the-mainline-kernel-source-package
genewitch: didn't really understand your response
chubz: if you upgrade you won't lose your private key, it's in ~/.ssh/id_rsa
chubz: or another file ending in .pem in that folder.
bobweaver: i'm not doing anythign with the kernel, the apt-get upgrade just update it and broke this
bobweaver: once again, if i am going to be compiling a kernel, why am i using ubuntu. A valid answer to my question would be "reinstall and don't let it upgrade"
how do i even upgrade my ubuntu? i'm on 12.04 right now. shouldn't i be able to update through update manager? it doesn't show up for me o.o
genewitch,  upgrade from 11.10 to 12.04 ?
chubz: i do apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade
chubz: your OS is told to only look for LTS releases
like that type of upgrade or jsut a sudo at-get upgrade
chubz: so you need to tell it not to and it will see quantal
apt*
bobweaver: no, just let the stupid package manager update 124 packages after i first booted up after installing. Literally downloaded all of them over WIFI. after reboot, WIFI no longer worked.
this was 3 hours ago.
ahh
from blank SSD to non-working WIFI within an hour
genewitch,  you have boted into different kernel ?
to test ^^
chubz: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1376407/
bobweaver: i tried booting into 3.5.0-17 and ran the same commands
bobweaver: same errors
ummmm......
weird
how do i see what the original software upgrade did
genewitch: are there bugs reported for the 3.5.0-17 kernel and broadcom?
because i can find out what it removed and put it back
ActionParsnip: thanks
ActionParsnip: dunno, the help.ubuntu.com stuff is just a loop. i don't know where to actually search for bugs. and it would be a 3.5.0-18 bug not a 17
genewitch: http://askubuntu.com/questions/55868/how-to-install-broadcom-wireless-card-bcm43xx/217616#217616   seems to mention the 3.5.0.017
genewitch: try:  sudo apt-get --reinstall install linux-headers-generic
genewitch,  also are you sure that it is not hard or soft blocked ?  rfkill list all
bobweaver: samesung-wlan not blobked
ActionParsnip: do i need the GENERIC part?
that's probably why this isn't working
ugh
UGH
genewitch: if your kernel is the generic kernel, you want the generic headers. If you had the pae kernel, you'd want the pae headers
why is it that I dont have /etc/hosts/ ?
Heather_: as in the file /etc/hosts
yes
Heather_: or a folder /etc/hosts with stuff in ?
Heather_: that's not good
folder
Heather_: ah, let me see
Heather_: no hosts folder here in /etc
Heather_: I have a hosts file
ActionParsnip: pae would be for 32bit with > 3.5GB ram?
genewitch: yes
i imagine a server distro
yeah not that. i think it worked
wooooot
 /etc/hosts is a file
ActionParsnip thanks thats what I was looking for
genewitch: its just to access more ram, but each process wil only see 3.2Gb ram :)
yeah, perfect for tomcat
genewitch: oh, what worked?
bcmwl-kernel-source installed sucessfully i think
AND WIFI WORKS
let's see for how long
\o/
genewitch: is tomcat known to get a bit ram-hungry?
;-)
dude it was totally my fault. :-(
genewitch: sweet grandma's spatula, it worked
linux-headers-3.5.0-18-generic is what i needed
genewitch: no worries dude, things happen
* bobweaver googles spatula
lol
it's like a spanner for pancakes
bobweaver: not seen Anchorman with Willl Ferrell ?
not in a while ActionParsnip  I should add to my Ubuntu TV
genewitch: well, you got the gold and that's what counts :)
bobweaver: hehe it's one of his exclamations :)
genewitch,  it is my fault for not asking for uname -a and asking for uname -r
how to reset my language setting in englist it just show me in some chinese

how to reset my language setting in englist it just show me in some chinese http://i47.tinypic.com/ff8o7o.png
Rock: blue flag in the top right
ActionParsnip: it had an intel 6150 in it, i ripped it out because windows did THIS EXACT same thing with the intel card
Rock with  gnome-language-selector ?
but whts the step i do in tht section
Rock: can you make another image if someone cannot guide you. I'm on XP at work
Rock,  http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/17528/change-the-user-interface-language-in-ubuntu/
can anyone help me to access MTP devices via the shell
is there any command line stuff to reset my language setting?
Rock: i think that keyboard is your language setting
Rock,  edit /etc/default/locale and ~/.pam_environment
do you need to do locale-gen && . /etc/profile
?
Rock, guide http://askubuntu.com/questions/133318/how-do-i-change-the-language-via-a-terminal
bobweaver /etc/default/locale contains: LANG="en_IN" 2 LANGUAGE="en_IN:en"
cnf: remember when you said you maintain the magic mouse driver for ubuntu? you know anything about the mighty mouse? and how to disable unneeded buttons (the side ones)
the side ones are so needed
Rock,  even better http://askubuntu.com/questions/152668/i-cannot-set-my-system-back-to-english-from-chinese-language
haha
genewitcl: I only used the side ones for expose on tiger. On ubuntu everytime i press it it takes me back a page in chrome
all that url is missing is "help"
zh_CN.utf8
skunk: that's pretty cool
google would see it more genewitc1  with help in it
skunk: you have to tell X to treat those as just generic buttons as opposed to navigation buttons
skunk: i bet the right hand one goes forwards
nope? no help with MTP?
genewitcl: I mapped the button via xev. They are named Button8
genewitcl: modifying them is a different story

phy1729: set an iptables rule
ActionParsnip: did that it doesn't work
and #iptables is stumped
My sound works for a bit, then cuts out.
phy1729: yeah, iptables. that address looks like an ISP gateway, why do you want to block packets to it
genewitc1: it's multicast I don't use it so I see no reason for it to fill up logs or be a possible attack vector
ipcop ^^ ?
nm
phy1729: there's an ifconfig thing to turn off multicast
bobweaver: thanx ur link solved it just do little editing in .pam_enviroment
Samizdat: what is the output of:  lsb_release -sc
* phy1729 goes off to man ifconfig
phy1729: could use ufw instead
i am tryin on my own to install eclipse for last 2 days. But have not been able to do so. I see the icon  in dash home. When i double click the eclipse icon it does not open. Can some1 guide me if u have any idea
ActionParsnip: quantal
vikasjain: if you run it from a terminal, the output may help
phy1729: ifconfig eth0 multicast off
maybe
Samizdat: try:   killall pulseaudio; rm -r ~/.pulse*    wait 10 seconds then reboot
hi @actionparsnip i get this bash: /usr/bin/eclipse: No such file or directory
vikasjain: do you have java installed
the JDK not the JRE
@genewitc1 yep
ActionParsnip:  Will do.
vikasjain: ok then run: grep -i eclip /usr/share/applications/* | grep Exec
Samizdat: will default the sound settings, may help
dpkg-query -l | eclipse       ?
@ActionParsnip it does not yield any result
dpkg-query -l | grep eclipse       ?
vikasjain: did you make the launcher yourself?
and
yes
vikasjain: how did you install eclipse?
@ActionParsnip yes
genewitc1: ifconfig eth0 -multicast
vikasjain : why dont u reinstall it
phy1729: i was close, sorry
that's alright wouldn't have found it otherwise
now to put that in /etc/networking/interfaces
@ActionParsnip , I downloaded eclipse , untarred it , Created a soft link , Added the it to main menu under programming
@rock im tryin it
but for some reason im missing a step i feel
vikasjain,  why not from the softwre center ? just wondering ?
vikasjain: where did you extract it to?
@viaksjain install it from software center
@ActionParsnip i created a folder called eclipse in my home directory
@ActionParsnip gave a soft link to /usr/bin/
vikasjain: try running:   ~/eclipse/eclipse      does it run ok? also, why did you not use the one from the repos as bobweaver asked?
@bobweaver i will try in case something else does not work
vikasjain,  just wondering why not ?  do you need alpha version or something ?
vikasjain: I assume the binary is called 'eclipse'
@bobweaver i will try.. I don need any alpha version..!!
@ActionParsnip yep
vikasjain,  can we see eclispe.desktop  ?
vikasjain: does it launch ok using the command I gave
running apps in terminal like synaptic it gives me the error :(process:3158): Gtk-WARNING **: Locale not supported by C library. Using the fallback 'C' locale.
@ActionParsnip it does
Rock,  synaptic needs sudo permissions like gksudo synaptic
@ActionParsnip sorry typo it does not launch
vikasjain: i'd use the packaged version
or maybe Lib is not up too date not sure how much synaptic is deved on now a days
@ActionParsnip let me try from software center
vikasjain: sudo apt-get install eclipse
because it does not use session-installer
Rock, ^^
bobweaver: but why i type any apps name like deluge-gtk it gives me the same error
ActionParsnip: Same. Audio works for a bit, then cuts out.

Samizdat: what is the output of: wget -O alsa-info.sh http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh && chmod +x ./alsa-info.sh && ./alsa-info.sh
ActionParsnip: Yeah. Thing is, I can't find this error code anywhere.
like if I was to make c++ program  and Cmake looks to see if I am using windows nope so it falls back  << Rock
ActionParsnip: http://pastebin.com/Q9sj5V3w

Samizdat: then retry
ActionParsnip: Same thing.
Samizdat: when did I say:  sudo wget?
ActionParsnip: Fair enough. My bad.
my nautilus is missing the "create file" option in the right-click menu... I am running gnome-desktop on a minimal ubuntu install... can anyone help me get "Create empty file" button?
Samizdat: if it needed sudo, I would have added it. Don't go adding sudo to commands just because you feel like it you can and will really screw your OS.

Samizdat: you will need to run:  sudo rm ~/
wait
Samizdat: you will need to run:  sudo rm ~/alsa-info.sh
Samizdat: as the file is owned by root as you added sudo to the wget (for some unknown reason)
alguna nena de tampico

how can I install a new kernel on a release that doesn't yet support my hardware?
bump
ActionParsnip: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/1376474/
ActionParsnip: I know I'm on a crazy kernel, but tried every release along the way.
extropy,  what kernel and what version?
version = ubuntu version
It had previously fixed this issue when I went to 3.6.2
I'd like to put 12.10 on my box but it's Atom D2700 w/ GMA 3600
Samizdat: where did you get alsa driver k3.7.0-999-generic   from?
for some reason ubuntu's installer works just find but when I try to boot it hangs
ActionParsnip: I have no idea.
ActionParsnip: The issue was here before I upgraded at all.
ActionParsnip: It was happening on a clean install of Kubuntu 12.10
D2700 allegedly doesn't support 64-bit even though it has EMT64 extension. I believe this is because Intel's GMA graphics don't suport it.
graphics and/or chipset
Samizdat: why have you got the Raring kernel in Quantal?
really frustrating to see a 32-bit kernel hang while you're trying to boot. No idea why the installer even works to be honest
ActionParsnip: The Raring kernel? Is that the 3.7?
Samizdat: yes, so you are using a 3rd party kernel
can unity run without compiz?
ActionParsnip: It's working nicely actually. Machine is fast. The problem was here before the kernel, also.
Samizdat: the alsa driver which has come with the kernel cannot be supported by us. I suggest you contact the packager
extropy, No WAY
unity can not run with out compiz
extropy: unity is a plugin for compiz
ouch
huh, TIL
well unity 3d ^^
;)
hi all, registerd server not shown in pgadmin III while postgres sql is running
extropy: if you stick to precise you can use 2D which doesn't use compiz
boom goes the dynamite!
ActionParsnip: If I walk it back to 3.6, would you know what steps to take?
hi all, registerd server not shown in pgadmin III while postgres sql is running is there any problem ??
extropy,  I hear that there is form.factor tv desktop notebook and phone in unity 2d
any one please help
like in my repo
wow, so at this point I'm not entirely sure what the relationship between compiz, wayland and unity really is
is there a particular command to reinstall the kernel in /boot ? can't seem to figure it out... removing/purging and reinstalling linux-image doesnt seem to do the trick
unity is a compiz plugin? and not the other way around? mind=blown
extropy,  what are you questions about unity 3d ? Like lins and such ?
s|lins | like
I'm not a big fan of Unity3D ... more of a UDK type I think
extropy, unreal development kit ?
im having trouble getting the shade feature to work .. anyone have any thoughts?
indeed
for games ?
I have a new instal .
install*
right, that's the joke right? Unity3D?
what do I win?
but unity 4
you loss
why grub2 can't show .jpg background image which comes from /usr/share/backgrounds? if I save .jpg as .png, then grub2 can show .png background image. I'm using Ubuntu 12.10.
Ok not as good as UDK but still a great engine that is now  comming to *nix
extropy,  ^^
think I'll just wait for John Carmack to release a new tech engine and use the old one for free xD
extropy,  we can only pray that UDK sees that valve and unity 4 are here so kwhy not UDK
s|kwhy | why

hello
how to switch from one channel to other?
im using irssi now
noliverh: have you joined other channels?
ActionParsnip: after i joined to another channel, i cannot see other channels anymore
noliverh: you can use ALT + number to switch between joined channels
ActionParsnip: okies...
What IRc client are they using?
Oh, irssi
I prefer weechat
noliverh: if you are targetted in a channel, you will see a pink highlight in the bottom left
ActionParsnip: http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=5a1c54de9ff527595f655dc25760be8174f7fe15
@ActionParsnip finally my eclipse works
@ActionParsnip thanks a lot
Samizdat: see how the alsa driver is different
ActionParsnip: i will try... switching from other channels
ActionParsnip: Yes, but the same audio problem.
If Intel advertises the fact that their Atom chips are 64-bit but don't support 64-bit OS' can Atom buyers sue them for false advertising?
can i sue Atari for selling me a Jaguar?
extropy: Anybody can sue anybody for anything.
you can if they mislead you into buying it I suppose
How so? The CPU is 64 bit, the chipset and BIOS probably aren't
Intel's excuse: "we don't want Atom supplanting sales of Celeron and Core i3" :T
hi im newbie
noliverh: are you using the USB audio?
aparently you dont remember the Atari Jaguar "Do the Math" commercials.    blasted you will how it was a 64bit system (in reality it was a dual 32bit processor system that split the instruction set in half)
ActionParsnip: nope
@ActionParsnip i am unable to open it. http://paste.ubuntu.com/1376495/ is the error
ActionParsnip: what is that?
huh, crazy
noliverh: sorry, wrong target
Samizdat: do you use the usb audio?
I'm trying to.
I feel like Microsoft is behind this somehow
ActionParsnip: ^
Samizdat: tried a different USB port?
ActionParsnip: Yes, same.
USB Legacy Support enabled in BIOS?
woow mazing
disable onboard audio?
gavin : hi
u ask me?
ActionParsnip: I used it with Ubuntu 12.04, had issues with 12.10 until I changed to kernel 3.6.2
my dell n4050 have wireles problem
ActionParsnip: can i open other irc server aside this freenode?
ActionParsnip: I then switched to openSUSE and the problems came back. I installed Kubuntu 12.10 this morning and have been fighting with it all day.
i mean two server at a time?
noliverh: Ofc, if your client allows it.
is there a way to throw a new kernel on *while* installing Ubuntu from scratch so I can actually boot the machine once it's done installing?
at the same time Samizdat ?
install the linux headers before you reboot?
Samizdat: how?
Linux headers are not the kernel
I'm on two servers right now, noliverh.
omg, I just realized the problems I having are probably just graphics related
how can I skip trying to support my graphics hardware before an appropriate driver can be installed?
noliverh: What client are you using?

hi all!!! I have some problems with my xfce.
how to install skype in 12.04
i dont know how to fix the "some problems"
first, I can't change my background.
sudo apt-get install skype
sudaya: sudo apt-get install skype  (you need partner repository enabled) or download it from skype.com
right click on desktop -> Desktop settings -> "+"
xrs1: xangua i have download .deb file
second, when I shut down, it shows me:"session manager must be in idle state when requesting a shutdown"
open the .deb with Ubuntu Software Center
Dear all, my laptop fans runing faster and make noisely .How can I control fans ,I have use  Thinkpad fan enable level auto ,but no work
xangua: wehn i try to install it give dependency skype-bin
?
Dear all, my laptop fans runing faster and make noisely .How can I control fans ,I have use  Thinkpad fan enable level auto ,but no work
xrs1: i have done same but give dependency skype-bin
have u enabled your software sources?
xrs1: YEAH
sudaya: i have no problems with skype installed from software center
i'd just forget the .deb and open Ubuntu Software Center and install the one in there then
xrs1: i have also tried it first as u said but get same message dependecny skype-bin not found
hi guys i need help with dual booting ubuntu and windows 7
let me try installing
xrs1: sure thank you
the problem is my PC came with preinstalled OS. and i can see there are 4 partitions in windows. 2 system partitions, 1 partition(c drive) and one recovery partition
now i tried shrinking C: drive then booted to ubuntu CD. but ubuntu cannot make me use the shrinked partition
do you have a system restore disk for the computer?
xrs1, yes the recovery partition
no an actaul disk
ubottu: i have tried already
2 system parition is around 100mb each
xrs1: for ubuntu ? or windows
cd? i just made one yesterday because i dont want to destroy the partitions without recovery cd
when you use curl -F subscribed=True, what is True equivalent in a programming language .. is it the boolean true or the string "True" ?
that came with the computer in case that recovery partition got erased
or if you decided to upgrade / replace the hard drive
its an HP elite 8200. but im not sure what will be the behavior if i erased the recovery partition
if i erased it, will the cd be dependent on it or not
you wont be able to use the Direct2Disk recovery thats in there
you will need to download updates from the manufacturer (you should any way, the ones in the recovery partition are old)
xrs1: is skype working on ur system ??
its installing
can i delete at least 1 system partition? its only 100 mb
leave that one
sudaya: open a terminal and run 'sudo apt-get install pastebinit
oh you have 2 100MB
sudaya: open a terminal and run 'sudo apt-get install pastebinit'
time to ask in ##windows
yep
im going there now
thanks
almoxarife: for what ??
hey!!!, when I shut down, it shows me:"session manager must be in idle state when requesting a shutdown" and refuse to stop!!
skype installed and runs fine (Ubuntu Studio 12.10 x64)

xrs1: i got this message
how do I reenable ctrl+alt+backspace?
also in the meantime, how do I restart X without the help of ctrl+alt+backspace?
sudaya: then run this terminal command, sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install skype | pastebinit <--share link
Hello, I recently installed ubuntu 12.10, followed by AMD's drivers. Upon restart I found that after login I get a completely blank screen although keyboard shortcuts do seem to be working (brought up terminal) any ideas as to what I can do to fix this?
ah i see whats going on here
why is it i got access denied when editing samba/smb.conf in my ubuntu server?
necavi: hold on, completely blank screen but you brought something up?
sudo dpkg --configure && sudo apt-get autoremove && sudo apt-get update
oops thats not what i wanted.... well it'll do  :P
windwos guys doesnt respond. sheesh
noliverh: You need to edit as root, ie sudo gedut smb.conf (or vi, nano, etc)
lahwran: Yes

ActionParsnip, no it doesn't ask anything!!!
Is there any doftware to unlock a micro sd memory card in ubuntu ?
Is there any software to unlock a micro sd memory card in ubuntu ?	
ActionParsnip: how to get back to my server screen without closing the irssi
noliverh: you will need to quit the client then you can use creen so you can switch between typing here and command on the server
testdisk might help.  gparted wont let you erase?
ms_: http://forum.xfce.org/viewtopic.php?id=6580 <-- look over that link, it offers some ideas
ms_: search launchpad for bugs, see if it is a known issue
ActionParsnip: how to make a screen on the server?
noliverh: its an application
noliverh: I think he was referring to the program called screen, it's a terminal multiplexer.
noliverh: its like different workspaces in the deskotp OS
almoxarife, ok.
ActionParsnip: Any more ideas for me?
ActionParsnip: okies
Samizdat: all I can recommend is report a bug
Samizdat: could try Raring liveCD, see if it is the same
almoxarife, wow, even my mozilla isn't working!!!!
ms_: mozilla isn't a program
Maybe I'll go back to 12.04.
Samizdat: it is LTS
yup. go back to 12.04
ActionParsnip, none of my web browser aren't working
good
is there a gui for the ubuntu server?
ms_: so it's firefox...not mozilla
it is so hard switching between applications
noliverh: install one, pick one
almoxarife: like?
noliverh: the server is cli for a good few reasons. If you install screen, you can switch easily
ms_: in what way are they not working?
im already using screen...
ActionParsnip: using screen now... but i don't know how to switch between applications
ActionParsnip, it can't opening. :(
noliverh: kde is always a good one, but you might want something lighter, xfce?
ms_: try running it from a terminal
noliverh: You may want to take a minute to read the man page and some of the key bindings for screen. I think that would help.
how do I access an MTP device via the shell?
xwalk: okies...
ActionParsnip, nada :(
ms_: any text output?
anyone can help?
i've never tried
praveenmarkandu: are you just wanting the content?
ActionParsnip, there's nothing. I think, it has relation with the way that my pc refuse to shut down.
almoxarife: yes.
i was using ubuntu 12.04
and I could access it via the ~/.gvfs
folder
i was using gnome-shell though
but now i just installed 12.10 and i cant see that anymore
was the gvfs just a gnome-shell thing?
or has it completely been removed from 12.10
i can still see it via nautilus
but i was to script
praveenmarkandu: you may need to re-install gvfs
oh
praveenmarkandu: i am assuming the gvfs package is not there or the service is not starting
almoxarife: oh okay
will try. ubuntu 12.10 is being crap with my wifi again.
11.10 was good, then 12.04 suddenly screwed up my wifi
bcm drivers or whatever
What is to be done when an official Ubuntu package is missing the binary it should be providing? Just has documentation and that's it.
vadi2: try the question from the 'i am missing ....... from .........' any thoughts
Missing the binary from jockey-gtk in 12.10
But... I think it was merged into software-properties.
ActionParsnip, I just reboot my pc, and firefox is working again!! :) but it is still refusing to stop :(
praveenmarkandu: i noticed that upgrades never work well in ubuntu, not sure why
hi all i get this problem while installing teamviewer 7 http://paste.ubuntu.com/1376541/ any help please
ms_: stop what?
sudaya: What do you think it particularly wrong with that message?
sudaya: what are your intentions once you get to the remote desktop?
s/it/is
ActionParsnip, I can't shut down my pc!!!
ms_: I suggest you report a bug then
ActionParsnip, how?
ms_: if you run:  sudo shutdown -h now     does it doe?
*die
sudaya: no problem shown on pastebin
ActionParsnip, it shows: "shutdown: time expected
Try `shutdown --help' for more information.
"
sorry xwalk almoxarife http://pastebin.com/6MxXN80S
ms_: then you mistyped the command
sudaya: try:  sudo apt-get -f install
sudaya: ^
sudaya: again, what are you going to do on the remote system once you connect via teamviewer?
hi guys http://paste.ubuntu.com/1376495/ got this error for eclipse? Any idea how i can over come?
Package ia32-libs is not installed. <-- seems you are missing 32bit libs, a lot of them, sudaya
vikasjain: are you running eclipse from the same terminal?
almoxarife: i am using 64 bit ubuntu 12.04
sudaya: will you kindly answer my question....
im running from application
@ActionParsnip im running from application
ActionParsnip: i use teamviewer for remote support
sudaya: of users you mean?
ActionParsnip: yeah
ActionParsnip: what are you getting at?
@ActionParsnip  i ran this /usr/bin/eclipse same error
sudaya: at this rate it may be easier to use the 'remote desktop' util of 'chromium/chrome'
almoxarife: can remote desktop of chromium be used as teamviewer ??
sudaya: chrome on both ends work as remote desktops, teamviewer is not needed
almoxarife: 9 times out of 10, people automatically reach for VNC / Teamviewer when usually it's not needed and there are sleeker solutions.
almoxarife: let me try it thank you for ur suggestion
almoxarife: I like to give the sleeker solutions
almoxarife: even had one guy state that he VNC'd to a server then launched a terminal....
ActionParsnip: would you have a sleeker solution my dear mother would be able to install on her windoz-vista?
ActionParsnip, Yes Yes Yes. it shut down with "sudo shutdown -h now" :) but not with click in shut down button.
mom on ssh, that would be cool
ms_: did you try the link?
ms_: its a bug! https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xfce4-session/+bug/978333
almoxarife, ooops I lost your previous link!!!
almoxarife: seems like i have gvfs already
but i still cant find a path
http://forum.xfce.org/viewtopic.php?id=6580 ms_
praveenmarkandu: to gvfs?
c-a
almoxarife, ok, thanks.
almoxarife: depends what you are connecting to achieve :)
MSU: then it sounds like a permissions thing
would someone be willing to offer advice on a partitioning setup ?
almoxarife: i cant find a path to the MTP device. used to be via the ~/.gvfs folder
g00053: what is the OS for?
12.10
praveenmarkandu: looked in /media/??
My ssh server is changing it's rsa key each time it identifies to the network. any way to prevent this?
i've got a 64gb ssd and a 1thb hdd with about half the space left . Currently my / and /home are on the ssd with a swap and i find I don't have enough space in /home
praveenmarkandu: the mtp is hardwired to the box, yes?
would it be okay to move /home to a partition on the hdd
and just use the ssd for root fold
er
g00053: there shouldn't be any issues with that, does your 1tb have space to partition?
g00053: yes, but there are some steps to get it completed correctly
almoxarife: not in /media. yes MTP device is connected via cable
i've got another drive i can back up data to and do a fresh install ...this one is only a few days old
I'd like to partition a little better
not sure how to handle the swap
praveenmarkandu: /mount/??
praveenmarkandu: no idea :)
g00053: what do you mean not sure how to handle, you want to mount swap to the 1tb too?
lol. from what i've read, mtp devices are "virtual
g00053: put swap /var and /home on the platter based drive and the rest on the SSD :)
they arent associated with a block in /dev
My ssh server is changing it's rsa key each time it identifies to the network. any way to prevent this?
rinzler: is the key actually changing or are you losing your local ~/.ssh/known_keys file?
nowayride: it's changing. I just rebooted my router, and my ssh client warned me about a man in the middle attack
known_hosts *
Hmm
im looking for an rss notifier every time something new comes out, any package can do this automaticly?
nowayride,  for whatever reason i have one on both drives ...i
hello
praveenmarkandu: they have to mount somewhere, are you sure you got the packages in the new install to read/write to mtp?
'm not sure if thats right
or how big it should be
lotuspsychje: add omgubuntu rss, those guys seem on the ball
lotuspsychje: also webupd8
So it warns you when you connect externally to the box behind the router then (basically, the IP you SSH to changed)
win 36
lol missed /
ActionParsnip, I don't think ubuntu seperates var by default? whats the benefit ?
lotuspsychje: I use feedindicator for RSS :)
ActionParsnip: i mean a package where i can add osn rss feeds of my choice to auto rss the feeds
lotuspsychje: thunderbird should, google reader does
nowayride: The server's IP doesn't change. It's set as a static.
ActionParsnip:does feedindicator auto show?
g00053: not by default, but it can. /var holds a lot of temp stuff like logs and debs, you don't need those cluttering your SSD and using write cycles
nowayride: (also, I tend to miss things if i
lotuspsychje: it polls periodically
nowayride: (also, I tend to miss things if i'm not mentioned)
I'm back
hello , is any one deal with zimbra mail server
ActionParsnip:cool! lemme check that1 out, what other indicator packages u got ( i installed old style gnome monitor indicator yesterday)
rinzler: I realized I missed it when I was sending it :( so your server doesn't change but you reset your home router? This isn't all locally right?
g00053: also, move your web cache to ramdisk to make it fast as well as not use your HDD at all :)
okay fair enough would you recommend Raid 0 at all ?
nowayride: what do you mean by locally?
i can see that chrome keeps a large cache but i'm unsure what ram disk is
lotuspsychje: I use unity-mail for email checking, indicator envelope changes when I get an email and notify-osd lets me know. When I click a mail my browser opens gmail page
g00053: its a disk space...in ram
rinzler: The server you are SSHing into is not behind the same router you reset?
ActionParsnip:does that work for hotmail aswell?
nowayride: it is.
* g00053 is googling :)
thanks!
rinzler: Basically IP you SSH from hasn't changed, IP you SSH to hasn't changed, they are both static.. if so I wouldn't think the RSA key would change
nowayride: my thoughts exactly. I DO, however have the server set up to use passwordless entry... (can't remember the name of it...
rinzler: Public Key?
lotuspsychje: not sure, maybe
ActionParsnip: you know correct packagename for feedindicator, cant find it, mine is indicator-multiload
nowayride: that would be it
lotuspsychje: its on google code site
anyone know a good marquee for iss
rss
lotuspsychje: http://code.google.com/p/feedindicator/
lets see
My ubuntu server keeps getting ddosed what should I do?
is there still firestarter for ubuntu
almoxarife: fyi. just to close the loop. found that gvfs has been moved to /run/user/<you>/gvfs/<complicated name>
I used to use that back when I used centos
before I cared about security :))
Nice thanks
lotusphsycheje: http://www.linuxsecurity.com/content/view/121960/49/
rinzler: So nothing changed at all? No software upgrades or anything?
rinzler: And keys were not regenerated/removed on either machine?
praveenmarkandu: are you missing gvfs dir from your home folder?
nowayride: none of the above
rinzler: And you verified it's the server that's changing?
ActionParsnip:omg what a nice app mate, tnx alot!! been looking for that long time
nowayride: pretty durn
rinzler: Because if your client's key file changed or you authenticate to a "new" host, it will ask you. If you authenticate to the same host and the key is different, I'm pretty sure it blocks you from connecting
nowayride: yep.
nowayride: that's my problem
Which one, client preventing logon?
nowayride: I can fix it, but I don't understand what the problem is to begin with
nowayride: server changing keys
rinzler: right, you can always grab the new key but it defeats the purpose of them.
nowayride: yep. I don't know why the server changes keys
rinzler: honestly nothing should be willingly changing authentication server side because that's a huge security risk, any custom scripts or cron jobs possibly?
lotuspsychje: yeah its not bad at all :)
lotuspsychje: add your local news too (bbc has nice rss feeds)
rinzler: Or is there anything that triggers it? Is it always when you bounce your router?
ActionParsnip:yeah i got tons of feeds, always used google reader, but those days are over now :p
nowayride: I've got an rsync cron job on the client for backup, but nothing on the server. It usually triggers on a reboot, but it just triggered on a router reset
ActionParsnip: http://imagebin.org/236793
Anyone know how to monitor active data transfer on open connections?
adknight87: a packet sniffer, perhaps?
rinzler: I was just wanting the active connections and the data rates
adknight87: netstat?
adknight87:like a upload/download bandwith monitor?
hi guys..

adknight87:i didnt ask or spammed...
adknight87: you want wireshark to monitor a data line(yours of course)
almoxaife: Already have it I just want the most data used to connect ip address was wondering if there was a no brainer command for terminal
etherape is pretty
adknight87:your welcome :p
i got Problem to Run some file in terminal permision denied..~!! why..??
Gnomex: what user are you running it from (and are you using sudo)
Holy crap I have like a zillion ip's
I'm On Ubuntu 12.04lts i want run example.. gnome.pl
Gnomex: chmod +x perhaps?
I take that back it's a massive blob
Gnomex: why do you want to run 'gnome.pl'
how can I create raid in 12.10? Been searching on google without any success
Okey i told yaa.. just wanna try Slowloris.pl  nuthing much.. LOL~!!
adknight87: use !trigger > yournick, dont spam the channel
Gnomex: try 'python Slowloris.pl'
Lols slowloris
LOL
bash: ./slowloris.pl: Permission denied <<-- looking like this
Gnomex not gonna have an ISP soon :)
means what..??
Er, I'd have to assume you know what slowloris.pl does...
yeah i know.. flooding server right..
lotuspsychje what is the ubuntu alternate install disk?
Gnomex: do you trust the source of the file?
Gnomex: You'll get reported quick.. just sayin
INC Guard lul
Heather_:you can download it from ubuntu website, for alternative options in ubuntu install
Heather_: it's been discontinued. The minimal install is the other one, IIRC
nowayride What ur mean..?
oh
Gnomex: any half decent hosing company would put DoS protection up quick, that script's been out a while
Owwh.. that means that script out of date for a now.?? Hmmm..
Gnomex: not that it's out of date, but that technique has been out for a few years and most DDoS mitigation tools have had time to update it. Think of it like trying to use an old trojan on a computer with an updated antivirus
* iamzim -_-"
Hmm.. Oowwh.. i see tat.. Thanks for tat info Nowayride..
somsip where can i find the minimal install?
:D i'm Noob in this DdOs program
:P
nvm found it
Heather_: k
Gnomex: Likely you'll shut down the server until either the admin catches on or if they have HTTP monitoring when it pops up, then they put something like Guard in place and you might get some legitimate traffic blocked
Ubuntu 12.10 "Quantal Quetzal" Minimal CD for raid install right?
Heather_: can't help you on the raid bit, but the rest looks ok
It could work but it's not worth risking your internet service (or freedoms depending on country) just to annoy a sysadmin
hi. my laptop is connected to my TV via HDMI. I have noticed that some applications, send a crackling noise via the HDMI output (they sound ok on the PC's speakers. any idea what could the problem be?
i got it Nowayride.. :D thanks of Lot.. :D
Um, somsip you should link that to Gnomex, he's the one trying to hack someone. I'm telling him why it won't work and why it's a bad idea. Thanks though
nowayride: I understand. The factoid was more direct than it needed to be. thanks for being reasonable
Hmm.. somsip can u give me tat link..??
Gnomex: you are done, no more discussion about your lame ddos script
somsip: No worries, I work in the receiving end of these topics and get to deal with the hosts down :)
Gnomex: no - I'm not helping you with this now I know what the script does
nowayride: ditto. Fail2ban here...
somsip: I'm the guy rebooting celerons that get DoSd
But yeah, Fail2ban is really nice
ok.. Thanks VeryMuch.. :D nice Channel..

almoxarife, how to run a command when I open my desktop???
Kartagis: You'll need to reboot into the recovery console and fix it.  In the future, use visudo to edit sudoers, because it's designed for his (it does syntax checking prior to saving, so this doesn't happen)
Kartagis: you can't use sudo now? use recovery-mode/a live-cd and fix

alvesjnr, not by default, alvesjnr see above what Abhijit said
dcherniv: you can force to upgrade any lts to the next release available if you want, i already did that with my 12.04 server to the .10
erkon  because they are eol, could be one reason
I see that old mini CD are available to download, but when I try to them I do not get installer
ME VAIS  COMER EL RABO ESTRANGEROS DE MIOERDA LOS PUTOS CHHEFACH
thanks all
what is eol?
erkon, servers are probably offline.
erkon, end of life
hello. which one should I get for software and android development point of view? 12.10 or 12.04
llutz_: suck me, i didn't complete my explanation
erkon  end of life, dead, no longer available
HELLO RTU PUTA MADRE
llutz_: fail on you :D
are you sure that it not possible to install old releases with netinstall
which one is better guys? 12.10 or 12.04?
erkon  now you know why
I check the archives there are directories on them  with the old ubuntus
Abhijit: both a fine
Abhijit, if you're want to do active development i wouldnt go with ubuntu in the first place
dcherniv: why?
iceroot, ok i want to use it for heavy development
alvesjnr: nevermind, then issue 'sudo do-release-upgrade -d'
dcherniv, 12.10 and 12.04 are ubuntus only
erkon: if you really want to you should be able to install what ever release, as long as the archive is still alive
Abhijit: and what is "heavy development"?
jq pasa chatiras y chatiros
dcherniv, sorry did not read the not. then what should i use?
olaaaaaa
iceroot, web, software and andorid
iceroot, i just prefer a source-based distro for development
development
4rhgrtvhgbgbkjg
alumno: haha, puto troll!
xD
q dices
Abhijit: every linux distribution can do that
q se donde vivesssss
 troll tu
alumno: hahahah
dcherniv: and we prefer a not rolling release which is stable
pos te reviento
iceroot, not every. the oscommerce is not working on opensuse. it works on ubuntu though
Abhijit, ubuntu is fine, 12.10 is probably better since its got more recent packages
alumno: you should talk english here bro,
q vdicessss
dcherniv, ok
do you like pistolitas
iceroot, good choice too
almoxarife: well it looks like 10.04 is not dead, but netinstaller does not download any installer components
alumno:    alumno | q se donde vivesssss xD jaja que risa
I tried with 8.04, same thing
I tried with 12.04 and it works
Abhijit: for a stable system with a long term support i would suggest to use 12.04
Abhijit: but 12.10 is fine too, so its your choice
iceroot, ok
ok me da
iceroot, the lts dont get latest packes over time i noticed.
Abhijit: i am fine with my 12.04 here asa production system
me da igualllll
Abhijit: the same for 12.10
,ll,t,lrffffff
como te llamas ?
bhjvvbjkfsgvfdjhbvdfbv
vuzhsfrgv
asjnvjarfg
grnfgbv
erkon  we explained why taht is, 8.04 is no longer supported, use something more recent
rgjan
granv
 /ignore *  JOINS PARTS QUITS NICKS
iceroot, ok
qe dices puton
Abhijit: a released ubuntu version will NEVER get newer software (some exceptions like firefox, thunderbird, libreoffice)
Q es esto?
Abhijit: only security and bug fixes
no se entiende nada
asdfghjkl
nused fiksjf
Abhijit: stop it please, we told you to speak english
joni la gente esta mui loca tio
the channel is under attack
MonkeyDust: 10.04 does not download too
iceroot, ok but latest ppa are also available to newer versions and not to lts i think. so i decided to get 12.10
MonkeyDust: 10.04 does not download either
Abhijit: ppas are also available for the lts versions, there is no difference
10.04 I think is not dead
Abhijit: but 12.10 is fine
ok
erkon  yeah, try something more recent, now stop about it, please
erkon: its not dead, its still supported
llutz_: aww come on, don't be sheriff, alumno_ is just a lovely troll :(
10.04 server is supported for a few more years, but isn't desktop EOL soon?
hi
nowayride: desktop is eol with 13.04 release
msx: trolls are never "lovely"
nowayride: server with 15.04 release
after stepping away from my computer
my wireless diesconnects sayinng authetication required
iceroot: yeah.. that was it
is some sort of aggressive power management happening
how do i stop it
using a bcm 4312
i use bw43 and it seems to work fine, when im at the computer
llutz_: wrong, they are allways lovely, specially because they make nervous the so called lawful correct people >:D
It does not make any sense to keep old mini CD on the minimal install web site  if only the newest one works.This is ridiculous. Ubuntu should write this on it web site
praveenmarkandu: you mean it happens when idle?
erkon: the netinstall is of course still working for all older releases which are still supported
any experiance with eGalax drivers?
msx: drop it, i'm too old to waste my time/bandwidth with those infantile idi.ts
erkon: netinstall is not only for the latest release
iceroot: well I tried all of them at least 3 and then DO NOT WORK
only 12.04
almoxarife: yeah
almoxarife: seems like it. weird
llutz_: you're too old to have a good laugh too, i'm trolling you dude ;)
praveenmarkandu: your work-station disconnects or the provider?
erkon: and 12.04 is not the latest release
latest LTS
erkon: so its incorrect to say only the latest release is working
latest type of release
ok
erkon: then there is another problem
erkon: e.g. the netinstaller for 10.04 is connecting to the 10.04 repos
almoxarife: workstation. other laptops around the office have wifi functioning. so its not the AP
erkon: and they are still up
praveenmarkandu: you have some sort of power-savings set?
praveenmarkandu: don't you mis-set the wifi using powertop, don't you?
iceroot: is there a way to fix it
I'm sure that if you try with virtual machine you will see that it does not work with 10.04 LTS for example
erkon: let me check
erkon: i will use this http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/lucid/main/installer-i386/current/images/netboot/mini.iso
yes I tried with that one
almoxarife: not really.
msx: huh?
my power settings are fairlyy standard. in fact when my laptop is plugged into power (which it is now) it doesnt suspend or anything
iceroot: go with command line expert install,
praveenmarkandu: look at /var/log/syslog
praveenmarkandu: see if anything is obvious
and check if installer can download its components. This is where I fail.
 /ignore *  JOINS PARTS QUITS NICKS
 /ignore *  JOINS PARTS QUIT NICKS
 /ignore *  JOIN PARTS QUIT NICKS
erkon: hm, at the moment the installer is doing nothing after selecting the mirror
see
I told you
it is the same with me
check with 12.04 and it will work
hello, can i ask about lxc here ?
I do nto know why is that
erkon: the repo is still up http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/lucid/
in debug logs I see that two packages are missing
erkon: could you send me that log?
libc6-udeb and libnewt0.52
erkon: i will create a bug on launchpad
you can get it in the installer
go to save debug logs
erkon: i started the normal installer
erkon: but ok i will do later today
or open them in /var/log
erkon: but as i said, its a bug and not "only the last lts is designed to work with netinstall"
in the virtual machine with command line network installer you could execute a shell or make a web server to check the logs in save logs option on the menu
erkon: i know how to do it, thx
ok thank you iceroot
erkon: i am just busy at the moment to restart the installation
how do I get the unix sort command to sort by ascii or unicode order, and not just ignore glyphs?
I hope they will fix the bug
has anyone noticed this yet?

if there is a logical reason for that i dont see it
almoxarife: Someone symlinked the directory to itself; I actually did something vaguely similar just this week >_>
Never, ever do: grep -r 'something' /somedir > /somedir/somefile
The resulting 1.6TB file took a nearly an hour to delete
teehee
"OMFG how is this disk full already!?"
CoJaBo, haha
btw, its not just the NL mirror that will do that, i bet they all do
Yeh, it was done on the master

Hi! I configured VPS on Ubuntu for Drupal... Only one question remained... I need FTP. What do you recommend?
I recommend avoid FTP
and use sftp instead
kerozene: I'd be interested to know why
but it can load modules with ftp and also I want to load pictures and so on
Kartagis: because only 3 things are certain in life: death, taxes and ftpd exploits
ptihiy, drupal supports webdav
I am trying to install proftpd, but every time I install in hangs dpkg
ptihiy, ftp should be last resort to use with web apps
*it
ptihiy, if you just need to upload/manage files to your server use sftp like kerozene said
dcherniv: dcherniv: thanks. what package I should use?
IGNORE -l
ptihiy, for sftp openssh-server
dcherniv: thanks!!
What is the correct location for proc mount options in ubuntu? seems fstab is not read at system boot,  only on a remount for example.

how do i grant root privilege to user for SSH?
XRS1: check out visudo
aww i gotta vi stuff?
depends
using openssh
doesn't really involve openssh
XRS1: google 'export editor' if you don't like vi
Hi there. I'm trying to secure a ubuntu server, and I'm wondering, with regards to security is it better to run SSH through xinetd or just standalone
Good day, I am unable to boot into a fresh install of Ubuntu 11.10, all I get is a blinking cursor. I don't even see GRUB nor can I force into it holding SHIFT
XRS1  sudo -e [file] opens it with nano
nwillems, xinetd is pretty much all but deprecated
nwillems, so stand-alone
Zumochi,  download a new iso and make it again
dcherniv: Oh, maybe the wiki should be updated then.
dcherniv: But thanks.
i find linux live USB creator to work a little better than universal USB installer or unetbootin
Okay, I'll try that.
its a win app
Do I have to reinstall again, though?
oh no
Zumochi  did you read what ubottu says?
I did
i thought it wasnt booting the pendrive.  try booting the pendrive again and re-install grub
hey yall
Please help with dpkg) If dpkg crashed while installing package and after I reboot and wrote dpkg --configure -a it tries to install it again. how can I cancel it?

Hello Buddy Please give the Error !
buddy  maybe the ppa no longer exists
it says command not found
i got ubuntu 8.04
buddy:  Why 8.04?
buddy  see, 8.04 is no longer maintained, it's called !eol
buddy upgrade 8.04 EOF
laptop ain't fast enough for a higher version i suppose, but it's the LTS version
buddy:  What About your Ram Processor?
ram is 512MB and processor is a intel celeron 1,5GHz
buddy: According to the package info, the ppa is only for 10.04 onwards
buddy:  I am not confirm but you can use ubuntu 10.10
buddy:  I am not confirm but you can use ubuntu 10.4
but why does it tell me the command doesn't even work?
buddy  in short: what you are using is too old
lol monkey
Monkey :P
buddy upgrade little
:)
Juniour :P
buddy: Have you tried a different desktop? I've got a machine with xfce which only has 512mb ram and that seems to run ok (I only use it occasionaly though)
buddy: you are good for the maintained LTS'es with 512mb ram and 1,5Ghz celeron.
buddy: and yes - xfce is the thing you wanna look at ;).
DJones: nice timing ;)
hai, whats the newest kernel available ? 3.6 ?
damn guys, thank you so much
root_____: Check on Kernel Web
root_____: How about have a look at http://www.kernel.org
i'm gonna upgrade to 10.10 and then get the Xfce desktop
let's see how it works ^
xD
buddy: I'd say 10.04, or 12.04.
i mean, on ubuntu, i wanna try ubuntu ( /me's coming from debian)
buddy  not 10.10, it's too old, too
buddy: 10.10 is EOL'ed as well.
root_____: in repo or generic?
i see, ust checked, it says version 10.04.3 is available to upgrade
I've been poking around for security tips for a while. And I remeber hitting a page describing several tuning parameters for networking, can anyone point me to a page like the one? Or maybe just a good starting point for security hardening?
which is also a LTS version
buddy: correct.
well then, thank ya guys :)
buddy  yes, until april, that's 5 months from now, after that you'll have to upgrade again
nwillems: generic, or for a specific release?
is there a lightier download than +700mb cds ?
{xmb}  there's !mini
merci =)
Hello, today I tried to start my ubuntu, but it wouldn't start. After selecting Ubuntu in GRUB it boots and then I can only see black screen with a mouse cursor which I can't move. Any ideas how to fix it?
arnsa: I think you have not enough space left in / . Just check it
harnsa may be due to additional drivers
Guest30432 yes I do..
arnsa: Have space ?
MonkeyDust I didn't really understand what you want to say
arnsa i told you i thin k its due to additional drivers ie graphic
arnsa  http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 <-- open this link
MonkeyDust dude stop spamming me the same message
juniour but you didn't say how to fix it
My CPU seems to be running at 100%. When I run the top command, there's a process named "evolution-calen" that's at 100%. I have no open program like that. What is that process?
minas: Duid you checked ppid?
arnsa  you asked me to repeat, so i did, ubottu explains how to solve the black screen issue
GUest30432: It's 2121. And the "user" is lightdm
arnsa, monkeydust is right, try the nomodeset option as described in that link
arsna boot i safe mode
minas: tried killing process?
OerHeks but why it stoped working exactly today? Why everything was fine the days before?
arsna any trt the instruction given by monkeydust
Guest30432: i just did. It's better now. By the way the path of it was "/usr/lib/evolution/evolution-calendar-factory"
I don't even know where can I set that acpi_osi=...
any idea what that is?
OerHeks but why it stoped working exactly today? Why everything was fine the days before?
ewook: I'm thinking something generic would go into more detail, but I'm running 12.10 and could use a specific guide and then expand on that.
arnsa, what did you do before this occured? did you update? or did you install additinal drivers?
c/additional
could somebody explain the difference between parity and mirroring drives when creating raid?
i have xubuntu 12.10 installed but the monitor isnt identified correctly and i need to manualy put its specs in, in previous versions i had to edit the xorg.conf file but can not find it in 12.10, could someone point me in hte right direction please?
hello is there is some one deal with Zimbra mail server ??
Heather_, mirror is just a exact copy on a 2nd drive, parity is an index where parts of the blocks of data are stored on 3 drives ore more
yes inner-peace
xorg manual monitor specs
OerHeks so parity is good for increasing perfomance? since three or more discs work to store the information one disc would otherwise do itself?
Heather, parity is an index,  if one drive fails, parity can recreate the drive
oh okay
so that would be raid 5, if i recall correct.
yes but raid10 is also nice since it uses mirroring and striping. Discs dont cost that much nowdays
greetings, all. I come here hoping that somebody has experience getting the sis671/771 working properly
Hello again, I tried to re-install Ubuntu 11.10 with the "nomodeset" parameter, however I am still having the same problem.
epic , do you setup  and installation it
hi
is there any gui way to setup lvm in ubuntu installation disk?
Abhijit: don't know about the current 12.04/12.10 distro, but the alternative CD on the older distros used to support it fine
ikonia, ok
epic , do you there ??
are you*
ikonia, i have existing encrypted lvm created by opensuse. can i just same to install ubuntu?
use*
I believe so yes
ok.
I don't know if that is supported in the current desktop installer, I'd expect so now
will try it
Abhijit: only the alternate which is using a ncurse based gui
imo still on 12.10 its only on the alternate
iceroot, whats the name of ncurse gui software?
Abhijit: its the normal debian installer which is based on ncurse
ok
I just installed program "rar" and it seems that: "unrar x file.rar " isn't working. and shows:"/usr/local/bin/rar: 1: /usr/local/bin/rar: Syntax error: "&" unexpected"

webfox: you mean Graphically or in console?
masoudd, console, for Server
webfox: what distro is it? just curious
masoudd, it is a Ubuntu Precise Server
webfox: umm loadkeys?
sanav: oops, I thought I was in #linux
masoudd: its ok
masoudd, how do I do it?
webfox: like loadkeys uk
What is a good hax0r channel?
Bustacap: #school
..
What is an RPC request o.O
Bustacap: Remote Procedure Call. Why?
what's hax0r?
masoudd, when I use loadkeys command it whites: unknow charset unicode - igoring charset request
kamidi: I did a nessus scan, and it came back with a lot of things saying that people can hax me with an RPC request :/
webfox: what exactly do you want to do? what do you type that gives that error?
how can i get "suggested packages" of a package that i have already installed?
apt-get
milo64: sudo apt-get install --install-suggests packagename
Bustacap: I'm not expert, sorry :( I guess RPC can be used to hack your machine but it's not like open door or anything
iceroot: i mean, 'show'.
kamidi: I just don't know what rpc is or how to use it to hax me :/
milo64: apt-cache show packagename
ok
milo64: and there "Suggests"
milo64: like  Suggests: latex-xft-fonts, libthai0, firefox-gnome-support | firefox-kde-support
Bustacap: read the wikipedia entry
masoudd, when I press certain keys the OS doesn' t recognize, and I would like to fix it. When I type loadkeys it shows that message and stops at next line.
okay iceroot, thax
s/thax/thanks
Bustacap: Me neither, but I think it's basic component on Windows machines; maybe Linux too?
webfox: try sudo dpkg-reconfigure console-setup
kamidi: idk? I just figured there's so many people on here so I'd ask here :P
webfox: I think you have a non standard keyboard that sends codes beyond ASCII, maybe unicode? I'm not sure tough.
What type of character set I should use on a Mac keyboard?
webfox, what region are you in?
America, english
in a nautilus script, how do I copy the returned string to clipboard?
webfox, have a look here --> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AppleKeyboard
Bustacap: Maybe someone knows more about that than us ;-)
vlt: current stable version is 17.0 please update your software first
vlt: also have a look at #irc-mozilla.org  #thunderbird
Bustacap, What was your question again?
iceroot: s/\#irc/irc/
Kartagis: thx
iceroot: Thank you.
vlt: irc.mozilla.org  #thunderbird
Mechdave, I am running a MacBook Pro and I think I may have the wrong keyboard layout...
webfox, Doesn't that page tell you how to get the correct keymap. I would have thought the normal US map would do most of the job and then the mods for the aple only keys
eh oh! why I installed rar and it told me: "bash: /usr/local/bin/unrar: cannot execute binary file" when I do "unrar e file.rar" grrrr
ms_, where did you install rar from?
ms_: michael@bestbuntu:~$ which unrar
/usr/bin/unrar
ms_: please use the unrar from ubuntu and not your installed version, we dont support that version
ms_: sudo apt-get install unrar
Mechdave, iceroot, sudo apt-get install unrar-free
ms_, may be better to purge the unrar you have and install the one from the Ubuntu repository. sudo apt-get install unrar
ms_: unrar-free is not installing there
ms_: /usr/bin/unrar-free
ms_: see also "dpkg -L unrar-free"
ms_: so please dont install software by hand, always use the repo-software

hi all - whats a good encryption program to encrypt a hard disk in ubuntu - I have used truecrypt before - is this the best?
its good stuff

D_Russ: "tail /var/log/dmesg" and "tail /var/log/syslog" - pastebin those two for k1l, please.
thank

D_Russ: in /var/log/ are the logs. maybe there is a hint why its getting delayed.
yeah have not seen anything better yet
k1l: Is there much difference between unsettings and ubuntu-tweak?
kroson  best way to find out, is by trying both
linuxpunk: may I pm you?
kroson: unsettings is untiy related. tweak is more gnome3 related iirc
linuxpin .. true
MonkeyDust: gr8, have you done that yourself?
k1l: http://pastebin.com/6aAvf4kz
kroson  i don't like/use unity, so no
MonkeyDust: what do you use btw?
kroson  i use ubuntu classic, looks like gnome2
MonkeyDust: weren't they going to drop gnome fallback?
the gnome team
k1l: http://pastebin.com/qf1t6xq5
Anyone here familiar with GEDIT?
kroson: they do
gEdit?
Yes
Can you tell me what you need, Buntu
Yes.  I get that different colors mean diferent things for my http/php page  I don't find a color chart anywhere identifying colors.  I see brown and think oh sh*#!
k1l: http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=MTIzMzY
D_Russ: you are running ubuntu in a vbox?
no
buntu, I dont think you can see what a color means.
dual boot
lol ok well sh*#.  :-)  thanks
Buntu  the colors are meant to visually 'group' tags, it does not explain the tags
k1l: no i am dual booting
D_Russ: the small tails dont show anything related.
Ah.  My <script = tag was one color and <? tag was another color even though they were both for the same thing so I thought maybe one was not working.  <? came up brown.  Thanks guys.
ok
kroson: thx, but this sounds more like they will integrate plugins which mal gnome3 look like gnome2

Anyone know why anytime I exit the ssh session, access to my website got forbidden ?
hi
Is there a way to get xchat is the gnome classic systray?
k1l: better than nothing i should say :). Do you use unity?
kroson: yep, im using unity since 11.10 so this doesnt dodge me :)
k1l: do you use a laptop?
Relaed do you use ssh as a tunnel ?
Hi, Running "sudo apt-get upgrade --fix-missing" gives me  "mtxrun --generate failed." How to fix this?
kroson: 15,4" laptop with a 23" external in twinview
k1l: is there a way to disable touchpad while writing in ubuntu?
kroson: yes, in the systemsettings in th mouse and touchpad tab
k1l: that option doesn't appear in my pc :)
ive searched there
12.10 here
k1l: same here
you need to choose the touchpad tab in the settings for mouse and touchpad. and then its the first checkbox
eh oh, I can't extract from .rar files?
k1l: yes it was supposed, but that tab isn't appearing to me, which i find rather weird. I think the system isn't detecting my touchpad
kroson: well, that could be the issue
hi there, i can't update my ubuntu it get stuck to "(Reading database ... 50%" and then "dpkg: unrecoverable fatal error, aborting: reading files list for package 'evince': Input/output error" what can i do ?
k1l: did you need to install any additional package? like gsynaptics
or something. Or just using default?
roger21: that probably means that you have a defect on your hard disk.
kroson: no, my dell machine worked ootb
roger21: check the 'dmesg | less' to see if some disk errors have been reported
kroson: try lsusb and lspci to see if its recognized
w/n
k1l: no, but it was found by doing "xinput --list"
are any one deal in deep with zimbra mail server ?????
hi, I find moving windows in Ubuntu 12.10 is more laggy after I upgraded from 12.04, is there anything I can do to make them smooth again?
tmba: using unity?
tarzeau_: yes
more than one screen?
Walex2, i don't know, can i do a force check/repare defect/blabla ?
tarzeau_: yes also, 2 screens.
or something?
tarzeau_: latest nvidia
tmba: that's normal i don't have a fix, quit using unity
mate, window maker, amiwm all work fine here. just not unity
tarzeau_: normal that its more laggy in 12.10 compared to 12.04?
roger21: often you can, but the big question is whether there is indeed a defect. It is likely, but first check the log.
tmba: yes, and it's even broken in 12.04
tarzeau_: yeah I fixed the vblank issue and set the refresh to max in compizconfig in 12.04, and it was beaut
Walex2, i get quite some "ata1.00: error: { UNC }" could be
tarzeau_: it seemed to revert back once I upgraded though, and doing the same in compizconfig doesn't help this time
well i'm not sure what my ata1 is tho, could be the cd (which has nothing in)
greetings, all. I come here hoping that somebody has experience getting the sis671/771 working properly
S3/SiS stuff is well.. about the worse hardware you can get when it comes to the company supporting linux. ;(
dr_willis: heh, yeah. It really is :(
phasma:  the askubuntu.com site and the forums - maygive some tips.
the odds of some one in here at any given time having SIS is low. ;) Lucky for us
dr_willis: been there, tried that. Tried -numerous "solutions" - None have worked so far
funny thing is that it -is- possible. Mandriva have an sisimedia driver that mostly works
so er what should i do?
phasma:  potential issue ive seen is that some times  some fix's - if they dont work.. break the other fixs you may try...
dr_willis: yeah, ditto. It's high time sis released at least -something- - hell, they don't even have an up to date driver for windows, heh
im honestly suprised SiS Even  is still in business
Havent heard much about Matrox lately either.
I sorted it out.
I will have to report that the Netflix for Linux PPA package seems to be working very well for me. It just keeps wanting to open on the wrong monitor. ;)
i guess it's my own fault for buying a budget laptop, but seriously, it's a 256MB chip, you'd think they'd at least make it work, if only with basic functionality
let start over, i can't update my ubuntu it get stuck to "(Reading database ... 50%" and then "dpkg: unrecoverable fatal error, aborting: reading files list for package 'evince': Input/output error" what can i do ?
phasma:  been seeing some neat reaviews of the latest Chromebooks hacked to run Ubuntu. ;) if i dident allready have 2 netbooks and a laptop.. id consider one. ;P
dr_willis: haha, yeah. i was reading about that just a few days ago, too
roger21:  io error imples the filesystem or hardware issues with  the HD. i would start by fscking  the filesystems form a live cd.
dr_willis: this might interest you: http://www.saurik.com/id/10
dr_willis, what command do you sudgest ?
i always fsck stuff from a live cd.. ;)  just makes things easier
does nautilus accept only bash scripts?
dr_willis, wher do i see the result of this check?
it will print messages in the termianl
well i mean with the forcefsck
Kartagis: accept in what sense? nautilus is a file manager
http://linuxpoison.blogspot.com/2009/04/how-to-checkrepair-fsck-filesystem.html
(since i have plymooth and stuff blabla)
auronandace: as in "show in context menu"
i fsck from a LIVE CD when i need to.
dr_willis, ok i just did a forcefsck for now, do you now where i can check the result?
like the factoid says.. it will force a fsck  at the next reboot.. it will print some messages
or from a live cd terminal -   sudo fsck /dev/sdaX or whatever fs i want to check ;)
well ok, all i saw was the bootsplash thingy
hi all, hey why resolv.conf everytime i reboot i need to add the nsameserver command?
happy thanksgiving btw
hello guys
Hello hello.
thanks 09:17 < ubottu> CrAzYWolF: resolvconf is a set of scripts that's used to manage
thanks ubottu let me read up
I'm having issues with mounting encrypted  ext4 volumes.
roger21:  fscking can be very quick if you are lucky. :) but if the issue keeps happening after you fsck. that would point to some hardware issues with the HD.
Specifically when i remove then reattaching the device
dr_willis, i don't seem to have any disk error
the dmesg command should be mentioning errors with the Hard disks also.
"Error unlocking device"
dr_willis, ok dmesg add somme error after the update try
where can I post ubuntu bugs?
how do I switch the buttons to the right side?
is zimbra mail server open source or it is owned by vmware
is there a way to repare the disk or something?
How do I get xchat in the gnome systray (gnome classic)
theres some extra package in the repos i belive you need Shinobi_
and you may need to whitelist it for the systray to allow it.
ttp://www.webupd8.org/2011/04/how-to-re-enable-notification-area.html
Not sure how up to date that guide is.
In Gnome 3 I'd like to customize my Firefox icon, how can it be changed?
Rexter:  one way. make a custome .desktop file that defines your own icon.
dr_willis, where would I put that?
dr_willis: I added xchat-indicator, but it doesn't appear to do anything. Do you know the name of another package? I've googled but it always seems to come up with the aformentioned package.
ok
same location as where firefox.desktop is at for system wide ussage.
dr_willis: oh, how do i whitelist it?
what app is good for logging data usage  ?
internet data usage
see the url i pasted above Shinobi_ . or search for 'whitelist ubuntu YOURVERSION' - it could be differnt for differnt releases
They did the whitelist/blacklist stuff to try to tone down the whole cluttered systray disaster that was happening. ;)
dr_willis: thanks. Sorry, forgot to shut off join/part messages and didn't see your other posts.
exit
Woops
https://launchpad.net/xchat-indicator   just saw this on google also. ;)
its a plugin it seems. you may need to enable it in xchat settings
hi folks, an help please. I want to change the users for a program but I don't know where is that program installed,
ms_:   what do you mean by 'change theusers for a program' ?
ms_ are you talking about permissions?
ms_  try which [program]
dr_willis, Rexter, MonkeyDust  I already got it, just "whereis myPrg" thanks for your care:)
* dr_willis closes the ticket
;)
iceroot: I updated thunderbird to the current version 17.0 but the problem with the cropped (jpeg) attachments still exists (at least for e-mails I already read with the previous version). What can I do now?
iceroot: The problem also exists when forwarding complete e-mails (even as .eml attachment, not inline).
iceroot: I ran diff on the two e-mail files in the maildir on the IMAP server. The structure of the forwarded e-mail (including boundary markers) is kept but the attachments are cropped or mangled.
Aha - found a nice menu editor program for 12.10 in a PPA that lets you easially change program icons.

hi, what can I expect from an intel chipset Q35 with onboard graphics (should be GMA 3100) running (l)ubuntu? i am experience some choppy playback when watching videos in fullscreen (1920x1200) and don't know if it is due to the onboard graphics or driver issues
Hi, what is supposed to show up under "Downloads" in unity's dash home search lens?
I currently see any file that I create (or open) via nautilus show up there
I'm logged in as root user and I try to load a page in php but I get Forbidden You dont have perm... message. Do I have to set permission for root aswell?
so basically it gives me the same as in "Recent files"... how do I fix this or remove "Downloads" ?
Hey all
I was not logged in as root nvm
Since upgrading skype to 4.1.0.20 it is not starting -
 symbol lookup error: skype: undefined symbol: _ZN17QSslConfiguration12setSslOptionEN4QSsl9SslOptionEb
Any solutions please?
id say check the forums and askubuntu.com slarty  - its hard for us to support stuff like skype. but someone may have discovered a work around
I use google voice these days. ;)
Heather_:  if you set up groups properly you wont need to be editing  your web server files as root.
vlt: i would suggest to use the thunderbird channel
we updated /win 347
vlt: guess there you will get better support then here because this is "just" general ubuntu support
greetings
I am trying to build an ubuntu package for my own project. how can I get rid of the "ubuntuX" part in the version when doing dch -i ?
Marenz: debian/changelog  that entry there will be the package-version with ubuntu and so on
Marenz: that string there is used to create the packagename/version
iceroot, well, yes I know, but dch always appends "ubuntuX"  when I do dch -i. can I stop it from doing that?
or change the string from "ubuntu" to "build" or so?
i tried dch -i --distributor=build
@dr_willis      thanks for suggestion, I'll look there
Marenz: -lbuild
jpds, ah, I see.. I assume -l instead of -i is to be used
how do i open a .jar
bluegrass: Unscrew the lid.
bluegrass: i guess you want to start it instead of opening it
bluegrass: java -jar file.jar
iceroot hee ty but how do i get the javur
to get the .jar
bluegrass: ?
howto install java (javur)
yhjkl;
bluegrass: i dont know what javur ist but to install java "sudo apt-get install openjdk-6-jre"

and I dunno how to do o
my ubuntu install is little messed up , nothing serious but a few annoying bugs. Can I just reinstall over it (without losing my data and prefs )
you need to backup your data
tritonx, You can do that if you have your /home directory on another partition. Have you?
Does anyone know if there is a way to see the location of applications that are pined to Docky?
no but I could copy it
^ unless /home is elsewhere
so everything should be in my /home folder
what is version ubuntu is best? 12.04 or 12.10?
12.04 is LTS
12.10 is not
12.04, this is a best? why?
just different
none is better
Hi! Can i log what my users do on my ubuntu server?  Like what files they open and edit?
absolutely,.. all the better..
tritonx, No, as you dont have /home mounted on a seperate partition.
quick question in the rc.local do i need to add my line below exit 0 or on top of it?
And / Or can i disable their option to go above /home folder?
the version if kernel  3.2 is stable,do 3,5, economic my laptop.
12.04 = older so you gotta install more updates after installing BUT it will be supported for 2 years.   12.10 is more up to date but not officially supported as long
CrAzYWolF, you will need to place it before the exit 0
you can update easily from 12.04 to upward release
ahh thank you ccsteale
if you want
let's see if it works now
how do i install the driver for my videocard
Anyone?
bluegrass, what video card are you using? the drivers may be in the ubuntu repo's else you can donwload the binary/soruce from the hardware vendors website
yeah, is this moment i are use ubuntu 12.04, my laptop,is very faster core i5 6gb ram, is kernel 3,5 its much better.
additional drivers or use Ubuntu Software Center for the .deb u get from their website
ccsteale may i perhaps find out through a simple & easy cli command? 83
sioli, if you want the latest and greatest, and don't mind upgrading is a couple of years, go with 12.10. If you want stability, and longevity, go with 12.04
in my case,absolutely.
you can use dmidecode to find out hardware information
i personally recommend Ubuntu Studio 12.10  :)
yeah Rexter,my ubuntu 12,10 this cool,very good.
bluegrass, or you can use lspci which should tell you the vendor name laso
also*
bluegrass: "lspci -nn | grep VGA" usually will find it
GeForce 8400 GS
Hi! Can i log what my users do on my ubuntu server?  Like what files they open and edit?
And / Or can i disable their option to go above /home folder?
bluegrass what problem?
sioli i have a videocard and a suspicion that my computer doesn't correctly use it :C
bluegrass, what is the ouput of sudo lshw -C display - specifically line configuration: .....
ok,i have problem em my desktop pc,core i7 hd 4850(old), in my pc this same problem.
this module's up..?
configuration: driver=nouveau latency=0
is nvidia-current installed? if not install that via apt-get
hiiiiiiiiiii
I just installed Ubuntu 12.04 on a 250GB drive and it went fine. When I reboot, Grub throws errors. When I boot into a live cd or anything else, it doesnt even find the drive.
p0rk, does running fdisk -l or parted -l show anything useful?
it shows literally nothing
ty
now wine won't load ;-;
I can't Install ubuntu server edition in a Rack Server, I just Can't i't does not boot to install. what can I do?
p0rk, anything obvious in dmesg?
bluegrass, what error is wine throwing?
Guest9915, What installation medium are you using? when trying to boot up into which ever medium what sort of issues are you having?
waiting for outpot in cli
ccsteale, hang on gotta boot back up and check
Guest9915, any error messages you can provide would be greap
ccsteale, no Just I can't boot the cd to install I already downloades 3 versions of ubuntu, 32 and 64 but it does not boot to install :(
hi
does someone know what is the proxy of gr.archive.ubuntu.com?
p0rk, seems like boot config is messed up to be honest, can you mount /dev/sda5 to /mnt and run grub-update or grub-install?
no cli output yet :/
ccsteale, thats actually what ive been trying, but when i boot to a livecd or anything else, there are no sd* devices in /dev/
Guest9915, Any for of error messages on the screen, if you aren't getting any error messages whats the output you do see? is your rack server set to boot from cd before HDD or network?
yes
p0rk, is this in a laptop/desktop/server? id advise pulling the drive our and back in and checking what dmesg as to say to see if it picks the drives up and if it does it seems like its going to be a driver issue, most likley no support from the kernel for the drives which is why it drops back to grub shell
ccsteale, yes it's set to boot from cd beforee hhd
ccsteale, do I have to try with USB?
ccsteale, ok, ill take a look. i had lost a drive last week nad just tossed in an old 2.5" to tinker with
Guest9915, what ouput do you get from screen or does the server not even get to the point of booting the cd? Can you take a picture of the screen where it fails and send it to me somehow so I can advise, also if your server supports usb booting I would advise doing that rather than cd but thats just a matter of opinion but ubuntu supports both, try usb for time being
Is there a way to default xchat to hide join/part messages?
anyone know how to turn on antialiasing with the radeon drivers in 12.10?
ccsteale, no the server neve get to the point to boot the cd just start and continue to boot defora the old OS
Shinobi: I think if you right click on the channel, its an option under the Extra settings
DJones: It's not persistent. Should it be?
hellow security
Shinobi: It should be
hmmm
Shinobi: You have to do each channel individually, I don't think there is a global setting
ccsteale, booted into system rescue cd, now i can see the drive at least
ok. thx
so i can try mouting and installing grub again
what's a good program for .rar files?
when connecting smartphone to computer how do i allow Ubuntu to share its internet connection? thanks
How can I change my default DESKTOP file handler from nemo to nautilus?
p0rk, let me know how it goes :)
hi
Guest9915, disconnect your drive and then try boot from cd? if not force the server to boot from cd that whay it should hang with the error
zucaro, hi
Has anyone an answer for my question? I don't like it erverytime from startup to kill nemo and start nautilus.
hi ccsteale ;)
NikP, do you use it at all? remove it?
does anyone have any experience with transmission from the command line. trying to enable the webui from ssh
zucaro, have you installed transmission-deamon?
no, only transmission-gtk
ccsteale: I've tested out to remove it, but when I log in, then I haven't ANY file handler on my desktop. I must start nautilus manually.
install the deamon?
alguien sabe uncanal de xubuntu
yeah, thats what you'll need for the webui - zucaro
NikP, you'll need to add nautils to the default runlevel
NikP, update-rc.d nautils dafaults
that should do the trick
ok installed the daemon
ccsteale: update-rc.d: /etc/init.d/nautilus: file does not exist
reading man-page
anyone know how to force an ethernet adapter to restart or recheck for link?
ifup ifdown isn't it
zucaro, you'll need to eddit the transmission config file :)
v0lksman, ifdown ifup will work aswell as /etc/init.d/networking restart
ccsteale: that doesn't restart the hardware...that just resets the config applied.
ccsteale: OK, after rebooting the computer it works. Thank you!
when connecting smartphone to computer how do i allow Ubuntu to share its internet connection? thanks
ccsteale: the problem is that the card won't detect link, but there is no reason for it, there is link and the driver works as the primary card is using the exact same driver
alguien sabe como estraer una memoria de usb en xubuntu
hi, can anyone tell me how to supress the skype appindicator from the top panel? Skype-wrapper can do it in 64 bit, but not in 32 bit...
ccsteale, after i have installed the daemon how do I enable the webui? start the transmission-remote process?
v0lksman, ahh okay my apologies i misread the query - for the network adapter to pick up the link it will do that automatically and the interface doesnt need restarting, if the drivers enable then and the interface is being picked up it seems more likley to be an issue coming into the nic
zucaro, run the command sudo /etc/init.d/transmission-daemon
zucaro, I would advise running that in a screen session if it is on a headless box but if not then that should be good to go
oh i think its working, getting a 403 error now... will google how to add myself to whitelist
zucaro, in the settings.json there is the line rcp-whitelist - add your ip in there :)
zucaro, rpc* sorry
So here's the story:  Lenovo server with 3 NICs, 1 e1000 and 2 igb (i350).  If I build the system and use the e1000 interface during the build the 2 i350 interfaces will never light up with link after the install is complete.  If I use one of the i350 interfaces during the install it stays lit and functional after the install but the other i350 interface won't light up.  The e1000 is fine no matter what.  This behaviour is reproducable.  Any thoug
Hi guys. Quick q. I made a .desktop file to launch an application and used xdg-desktop-menu install in the command line to add it to the dash. Now when I go to the dash, it shows up, but it has no name. Just an icon with no name under it. The icon works correctly though. Here's the contents of the .desktop file: http://pastebin.com/NDWP8gNX ... Anyone know what this might be?
After install on the booted OS if I run ethtool -i on the i350 interfaces they show the same driver and version as a working interface (on a system where the i350 was used during the install)
would 12.10 run badly on 1.6ghz cpu, 768 ram & geforce 5500fx?
ciao
drag0nius WinXP would run great on that :)
hmmm where would the transmission settings file be? /etc?
v0lksman, thats rather quite odd, im leaning towards that being an issue with how ubuntu is setting up the nic's - im gonna try reproduce see if i can see it happening
zucaro, run the following 2 commands   updatedb && locate settings.json
zucaro, that will show you where that file is you need to edit
ccsteale, im trying to do a grub-install but it says "Probing devices to guess BIOS drives. This may take a long time."
and it's still saying that
oh thanks mate
easy
p0rk, run - grub-install /dev/sda that should be done within the minute see if that works
says /dev/sda does not have any corresponding BIOS drive
p0rk, sounds like the device map might be foobarred
p0rk, mount your boot partitions to /boot and run
p0rk, grub-mkdevicemap --device-map=/boot/grub/device.map
p0rk, things should be fine to run grub install then
k, trying now
sda1 is boot, right?
normallty
should be yeah, check fdisk -l and look for smallest partition, most likeley that p0rk
grub-mkdevicemap is not found on my box
i guess i could always try to reinstall ubuntu too
Hi friends, I downloaded a pdf and it has some high quality pics in it. Okular is taking like forever to open the pages and even if I leave it opened for a while it is not loading all the pages, any suggestions?
p0rk, could always try doing that, it would most likley fix the issue, but i hate being defeated by a bad install :P one last effort  - try grub-update /dev/sda
I'm not seeing metacity under apps in dconf-editor. What am I doing wrong?
xD
http://dpaste.com/834822/
Very strang problem!  Any help appreciated!  http://dpaste.com/834822/
thanks for help guys.
will be back :)
zucaro, let us know if you have any more issues :)
Bye all :)
Hardlec99, byeee :)
nobody's run into my problem? >_<
I am trying to transfer our CVS program to another machine, but i am having problems with importing the passwd file. it just refuses to read it and so it only allows the user root
ccsteale, this is only a test case anyway until i get new drives where i have to reinstall everything again
so i dont mind reinstalling ubuntu, especially because i used 12.04, now ill use 12.10
Eagleman, you'll need to change the ownership of the file
Eagleman, or if the program only needs to read the file run the command chmod 755 <filename>
-rwxr-xr-x   1 root Software       403 Sep 27 07:42 passwd
is the software running as the software user?
cvsd      1134  0.0  0.1   1736   480 ?        SNs  Nov16   0:00 /usr/sbin/cvsd -f /etc/cvsd/cvsd.conf
Eagleman, in shell, run the command whoami
well i am logged in as root
so i am root
ahh okay, is the config file pointing at the correct file? sounds like a location issue rather than permissions
CVSROOT is in /cvs/CVSROOT
ccsteale on our other server i see this when ps aux | grep cvs
10089     9090 18.5  0.0   2732   900 ?        Ss   16:43   0:00 cvs server
10089     9091 34.5  0.0   2736   872 ?        R    16:43   0:00 cvs server
Eagleman, can you paste the exact command and error in http://www.dpaste.org/ so i cant take a look
WHich command?
the command your running to start the cvs application where you reported it wont read the password file
Thats the problem cvs is so vague, i dont even know how i started it. its not working like a normal deamon
on the orignal server can you login as root and run history? hopefully that might tell you how you initially got it started
Hi Guys, anyone know how to install php5.2 - I need it for a short while, so I have time to update site to newer version (old bit of code causing issues)
ccsteale its like 5 years old or even more, history wont help me :(
darrenlooby, which version of ubuntu are you on?
Ubuntu 12.04 - TheLordOfTime
hi, at boot time my pc says waiting for network configuration for a long time, I have lan cable connected and router is set up fine. When I log in the nm-applet is missing and I can get network connection by executing sudo /etc/init.d/network-manager restart
It's a fresh install too - so PHP not currently on there
its ubuntu 12.10
darrenlooby, there's no PHP 5.2 package for Ubuntu 12.04, someone'd have to retroactively port php 5.2 to 12.04, and that's not happening because 5.2 is *old*
like beyond old
Hmm... so not possible to install from binary?
What's the newest version of Ubuntu I can install 5.2 on?
Eagleman, on the old/current server where cvs is running do ps -f
or ps -auxf either one - Eagleman
darrenlooby, no clue, i'd have to check
darrenlooby, what're you using that uses php 5.2?  5.2's at the latest in 8.04 and nothing else
darrenlooby, 5.3.x or 5.4.x in every other supported release since.
darrenlooby, are you familiar with compiling software from source? - if not I know that ubuntu 8 has it in it's repo's possibly 10 but i dont believe so
ccsteale, 10.04 has the 5.3 series
I've installed a couple of things from source - would that help me, to give that ago?
It's a cloud sever, so no real harm in binning it if it goes wrong
Is someone willing to help me with a wireless nic problem? I have a wusb100 I think v 1.0 and it only seems to work until I reach about 12mb of bandwidth then I have to disconnect and reconnect.
Yeah you'll be able to install 5.2 from source
Right, I'll tut myself up and give that ago then ccsteale - and come back with my tail between my legs when it goes wrong lol
im having a situation where my 1tb usb3 external hard drive is not being recognized on my desktop
same drive is recognized in my laptop
Which is to say I may be coming in and out of here a lot until i fix this
How do I configure Ubuntu 11.10 for optimal power savings for a HP6910p laptop with a Intel GM965 chipset
I installed all my updates already via a long line of disconnect reconnect...
darrenlooby, another thing you can try but it might not work/be amazingly unstable is use the karmic repo's on ubuntu 10 but compiling from source is the way to go and a hell of a lot more fun
lsusb and dmesg don't even register that the drive is plugged in
ccsteale, lol cheers, I'll take note of that :D
merica, problem might be with the connection, can you try plugging it into a different machine and seeing if it's picked up?
I am running ubuntu 12.04 lts I believe...
darrenlooby, good luck :D
 So is ubuntu more and more sophisticated as Windows now?
ccsteale: the drive does work in my laptop, ubuntu 12.10 mounts it automatically
just not on the desktop
Pip, thats not a support question
i tried, multiple ports, same thing
lol
Pip, depends what you mean by sophisticated? its a damn lot coold :D and true what bazhang said
i know the drive works, and i know the usb ports work
Pip, please take it to #ubuntu-offtopic
becuase i have bt, webcam, keyboard, plugged into them
What I mean by sophisticated is that when ubuntu is broken, nobody knows how to fix it
Pip: as far as I have been concerned it's better than windows but it takes a little more time to manage because not as many companies put time in creating drivers or go out of their way to support it.
merica, are the ports usb 1/2? may be an issue there?
sorry bazhang
i tried ALL the ports!
bazhang,  didn't know...
usb 1,2,3
I'm going through apache2 access log and all the files for my site are loaded except .css files. the files are in the same location as the other files so it should not be permission issue?
merica, very strange, especially since dmesg isn't picking it up :/
i even tried unplugging all other things, and plugging in only the drive
still nothing
Still looking for help with wusb100 wireless nic
yeah
Hey I am having a problem I may need some assistance if you can help?
strange
sam_, how can we help sam
wat is problem?
merica, anything in syslog/messages?
Heather_, anything in the error log? can you go direcetly to the .css files via browser?
I am trying to download GIMP, a photo-shop like program, and when I try to download from the software centre It says, "The action would require the installation of packages from not authenticated sources."
i heard win8 is great because everything just works
ccsteale: don't see anything in syslog
maybe some audio issues
sam_, have you ammended your sources.lsit file with non standard repo's? I wouldn't advise installing from unauthenticated sources but it should install fine
ccsteale yes I can access the .css file through the browser
Hi!
Is unity more resource hungry then kde (kubuntu)?
sam_  they may be plugins from third parties
might be something with the header since the css file is present there
I saw a benchmarking today, claiming so.
MonkeyDust, thats what I was thinking aswell
Simurg, not that i know of, but if resources are an issue, look at Lubuntu or Xubuntu.
sam_, I'm dl'ing gimp right noe with muon ... no warnings at all.
I am using Xubuntu 12.10 and when I am playing a game full screen in DOSBox, for some reason it assumes I am idle and tries to go to a blank screen after 10 minutes. Strangely, in the middle of this process, it realizes that is not the case and brings the screen back.
I tried both and unity seemed better, never tried KDE though.
This is disruptive of my game though.
I hear you need to have its native programs to get more out of it.
Ones with obsessed with letter K, I heard.
Heather_, cant imagine why can you try run the command cat access.log | grep .css - see if that returns anything

My friend was able to download it fine he didn't know what was wrong.
how do I install the ndiswrapper
how do I update to the experimental video drivers in 12.04?
or is it now buit in to linus?
with mine
*linux
ccsteale problem solved linux is case sensetive windows is not
zoneout83, depending on what kernel version you are using will depend if its built into the kernel by default run the command ndiswrapper-dkms; sudo modprobe ndiswrapper - after that it should work fine as that will enable th nescessary kernel module
Heather_, glad its sorted :)
ccsteale thanks
ccsteale be back at you in a couple minutes...
12.04 btw
anyone else had issues with Ubuntu or Xubuntu assuming you are idle when using DOSBox and thus trying to make the screen go blank/screensaver?
zoneout83, ive done that before on 12.04, any problems let me know
sam_ did you try sudo apt-get install gimp
My friend was able to download it fine he didn't know what was wrong. Thanks y'all.
sam_, did that work?
sam_: you need to import the repo-signing-key for the repository you download gimp from
zoneout83, it is working.
ccsteale, unable to locate the ndiswrapper
to which directory should I build kernel modules?
it worked thanks
/lib/modules/`uname -r`/ doesn't persist after a reboot
hello
if i choose to install kvm during install, does it boot differently from a normal install?
sam_ glad that worked keep in mind llutz is probably more familar
Does anyone know how to install the ndiswrapper? apt-get or otherwise?
hello.  i'm using 12.04, and trying to get games working on pogo.com in firefox and/or chrome.  no luck whatsoever; i've tried just about every java jre & browser plugin i could find..any suggestions to get this working?
zoneout83, ndisgtk?
how can I get rid of the waiting for network configuration at boot?
apt-get install ndiswrapper-common ndiswrapper-dkms
* bc81 wonders if there is come magical combination of java & flash to play these browser games..
apt-get install dnsiwrapper-utils-1.9
merica, thanks just got there with a google *feels sheepish*
apt-cache search ndiswrapper
merica, does that work on all package searches?
why do my kernel modules get overwritten on reboot?
try it out and see
wth was that?
?
the spam...
merica: probably because you're not loading them upon boot?
wut
merica, I know it does I did learn a new command though ;)
v0lksman, why dont you build them into the kernel rather than having them as modules?
ccsteale: cause I'm just trying to see if they work to begin with
cause then hed have to rebuild the kernel
why would you do that
merica, I think there needs to be a help file associated with help apt that shows all the extensions like apt-get apt-cache ect
module-assistant: command not found
man apt-cache
man apt-get
zoneout83: man apt
sweet thanks auronandace
I think I used to know that but I haven't ran ubuntu since 8 hardy heron
Hello! Is there any way I can find out what bashrc my terminal is using?
My screen is black after installing fglrx on 12.10 server edition absolutely nothing on screen. What do I do?
uninstall fglrx
...
SlitazMint_noteb: why do you need fglrx on a server?
^
I'm using it on my desktop. I wanted a minimal install.
hmmm
I did not know about that
i should be using xp drivers with ndiswrapper right?
is there a solution for this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2073593 ?
i should be using xp drivers with ndiswrapper right?
idk
Does mini come with a DE?
SlitazMint_noteb: no
lucido, does the wifi work once it finanly boots?
finally
auronandace: Awesome!
But won't I get the same problem with fglrx?
Commander1024, its ethernet lan and it works after I restart network-manager
don't use fglrx
I need fglrx.
compdoc,  , its ethernet lan and it works after I restart network-manager
SlitazMint_noteb: no idea, i use the open source driver
why
Because of acceleration for videos for one.
lucido, that url you posted isnt your config then?
And games now that Steam beta is out.
not exactly only the symtoms
soooo, you don't want a minimal install
Yes I do.
merica, thats not helpful
I want Mate w/o installing Unity.
SlitazMint_noteb: mate isn't supported
compdoc, this is my config: http://pastebin.com/hirLcxXq
how did you install fglrx?
merica, editorializing and offtopic commentary to #ubuntu-offtopic NOT here
merica: apt-get install fglrx fglrx-amdcc...
the created a new xorg config
my experience with video drivers leads me to download from the source
ati/nvidia
lucido, that config shows you have 4 ethernet and one wifi card?
and build them
lalal la la lla llla alla allal ;)
:D
merica: Ok, cool. I'll try that.
compdoc, I have a single ethernet card integrated in my mobo, the config is a default config I had there
lucido, do you use ppp to connect to your isp? or what is your ethernet card connected to?
companion, ethernet
compdoc, , ethernet
it connects to a router?
compdoc,  yes, router is fine

hello all
Hi GlitterBoy
ccsteale, i tried the 12.10 install on 2 different drives and got the same error, installation failed at the install the system step
so im trying 12.04 again on the 2nd drive
i just started the install the base system step now
so we'll see
fingers crossed
hello.  i'm using 12.04, and trying to get games working on pogo.com in firefox and/or chrome.  no luck whatsoever; i've tried just about every java jre & browser plugin i could find..any suggestions to get this working?
p0rk, might be lack of driver support in the 12.10 kernel, let me know if it works on 12.04 and let me know you drive types later and ill take a look at that
ok, its 2 different drives. first was seagate, this one is western digital
compdoc, same crap
bc81, works fine here. what version of Ubuntu are you on, and what java do you have installed
hi all
so what is module-assistant supposed to do for me?  when I load it and go to select a module it doesn't show the module I just built
bazhang, hello.  i'm using xubuntu 12.04 (fully up-to-date) and have so many versions of java installed, i'm not sure how to find that out.  java -version says: java version "1.7.0_09"
bc81, its a bit slow to load; I've got Monopoly running no problems once it does load
bc81: I would start by removing every version of java you have, particular if it was NOT installed via apt/synaptic/software center, and then remove those as well in the proper way
bc81, or use update-alternatives to pick the java version you want
alright so I'm reading here and it says disable the free drivers but the config file doesn't seem to exist to add it to the blacklist
also I need to know how to undo these steps before I do them so i can get to help again...
bazhang: what about the game "Makeover Madness" it seems to be java based, and broken.  monopoly is flash based, and works fine (albeit with some rendering issues on the main menu)
bc81, let me check, just a moment
p0rk, ccsteale, if it makes any difference I have a wd hd 500 gb 7200 rpm and have 12.04 and it works fine thus far
hi jonnes
ccsteale, looks like the 12.04 install worked fine
got passed the problem step anyway, didnt get to grub portion
good morning. i backed up my home directory on one of my laptops as i need to move from 10.10 to a fresher version. my question is where are the notes that are associated with the applet that you add to your panel located because i need all of that notes. seecondly does kubuntu have gnome 2 option cause i need the upper and lower panel option and i dont see that in ubuntu anymore?
helllo
I did "apt-get purge pulseaudio*" to try to fix some sound issues. It turns out pulseaudio was not the villain so i re-installed with "apt-get install pulseaudio-*". Now the sound in flash does not work (i.e. youtube) and the sound applet isn
t autostarted anymore
hello
hello
fix how?
hello
bc81, that requires membership, best as I can tell
mekie?
kf
also does anyone have major problems with chrome?
install gnome-panel sambagirl
ok bazhang thanks
what about the sticky notes?
one last question, is it possible to have w8 / xp / ubuntu partitions using grub?
http://askubuntu.com/questions/207923/is-there-a-sticky-note-application-similar-to-windows-sticky-note sambagirl
sambagirl, xpad seems to be the sticky note of choice
bazhang: sorry about that, my wife has a free trial membership for 2 weeks and i wasn't aware it's member only.. another (non member-only) game that is java based and not loading is Sock Hop Slots
haha bazhang. i was looking online in a forum and it's a real challenge so i will just copy/paste to email and send to myself and re do them in new set. also are applets still available in new ubuntu versions?
sambagirl: I think so, but for w8 you probably need to chainload to ntloader
sambagirl: win8 uses the eufi by default
uefi
uefi*
ty
sambagirl, in 12.10, gnome-shell , they are called "extensions" and there are very many of them. applets are around, though you would need to be more specific for me to answer that
thanks
bc81, ok checking
so I make install my module which places it in /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/net module-assistant doesn't show me that module in the list...
what am I doing wrong?
thanks, bazhang
ccsteale, rebooting into os for first time
sambagirl: also, http://www.intowindows.com/dual-boot-windows-8-and-ubuntu/
everything looks well so far
bazhang for example i like weather / system monitor / rolling eyes / sticky notes / cpu frequency / search / multiple shells / various apps i need to launch regulary like htop, teamviewer, vmware...where you have date,time,...
thanks gnea
bc81, works fine, I'm on 12.10 with the same version of java that you have and firefox 17
compdoc, for the recod: putting only auto lo and iface lo inet loopback lines and nothing else in the interfaces file solves the waiting for network configuration at boot time error
r
lucido, good - we need to keep that record straight
lucido, can you show me the output of:  cat /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules
lucido, oh, wait. you use network-manager? if so, it doesnt matter
sambagirl, for unity, they are called lenses: http://askubuntu.com/questions/38772/what-lenses-for-unity-are-available
am i the only one having major issues with chrome browser across "all os's" or is anyone else?
ugh
hi
it booted up but i get ext4-fs error's now
wtf
unity is out for me bazhang
ok thanks
p0rk, no cursing here
compdoc, http://pastebin.com/nLGpEN6X why?
p0rk: mind your words
sambagirl, before you go trying to do dual booting make a supergrub disk it might save you in a pinch
sambagirl, you might wish to check screenlets then

Hi all. I've a quick question: Can I create a bootable linux pen drive (xubuntu preferable) which can be a full functional, updateble, configurable system that is different then a live version. So changes need to be persistent, like kernel updates, eventually custom compiled kernels, etc... so any change I do on it should stay after a reboot.
p0rk: ooooh.... well, you'd have to recreate it by hand...
it there a tool for that?
:(
its a brand new install, one disk, sda, normal partition
p0rk: documentation is here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab
p0rk: oh good, that'll make the recreation easier
also my computer has also become very slow after the update
yes, I found this but http://rudd-o.com/new-projects/portablelinux gives 503
p0rk: that website will basically introduce you to each tool and how to use each tool in order to get the correct bits that you need to regenerate your fstab
it was a kernel update i think
NCsaba: Thats a server error then.
yup
any suggestions?
p0rk: kinda makes me wish there was a script to do that automatically
NCsaba: Use unetbootin
anyone knows a mirror for that?
i am using 12.04
and the laptop is a dell inspiron 1420
p0rk: looks like someone tried... not sure if they managed to succeed: https://jamfnation.jamfsoftware.com/discussion.html?id=4237
before the reboot the sound was working now it isnt
cheesecakes: did you check your mixer?
how do i do that?
nvm i think i saw that on wiki i'll brb
Hi there ;)
IdleOne: unetbootin can create persistent os?
NCsaba: yes
alsamixer was muted
but on the volume control applet it wasnt muted
what comes before alpha?
that was scary
cheesecakes: I did away with unity and gnome and installed E17, so I only use alsamixer these days.
i am using gnome
but i like ratposion better
I should probably just install bodhi linux one of these days
belgianguy: what does that have to do with ubuntu?
auronandace:  if anyone knows, please let the rest know when the Ubunty Web-Apss get to that stage
i just intalled ubuntu natively after playing arounf with it in a vm
belgianguy, development or dv
o i am still a bit noobish
*dev
cheesecakes: I like E17 for the simple fact that it will run on an older pentium and modern hardware
zoneout83: regular usage, as was promised in 12.10
Full disk encryption doesn't fully encrypt the disk as the /boot is still plain, which can be easily vulnerable
it's been pretty dissappointing tbh, while it shows much promise
gnea: i think ratposion would too
its has no graphics and fully keyboard based
half of them don't work, don't get updated (GrooveShark) or just take out Firefox when you click on them
SpaceRocket: As long as you have physical access, every encryption is vulnerable.
cheesecakes: that would be awesome to see. I used to run fvwm2 on a 486 and early versions of E13 and such were developed around such hardware.
hi guys! Can you please suggest an mp3 player able to read and display lyrics stored in the ID3 tag?
it has a learning curve but afterwards you love it
I can find players that search for lyrics on the internet, but none that reads an existing lyrics tag
yes bekks  but at least slowing the attacker  and make it more difficult
what is the difference between using FDE only and FDE with LVM ?
alessio: ID3 tags aren't designed to hold all the lyrics of a song, just the basic information
also the performance has decreased after the update any suggestions on that front?
Gnea: there is windows software which does that
IdleOne: what option should I choice to have a persistent os on usb penddrive: NetInstall, HdMedia or Live?
Gnea: for instance jetaudio
Any awesome games for ubuntu?
Underline *Awesome*
alessio: I highly doubt that, the specification of ID3 doesn't allow for such a large amount of textual information to be included. Do you know what version of ID3 it is using?
Gnea: you are probably right, it's not a proper ID3 tag
Gnea: http://id3.org/Lyrics3v2
alessio: however, doing the .txt file thing might not be out of spec.... however, if they don't release the code to do that, it'd have to be reverse-engineered. I have no idea if anyone has been able to mimic that functionality.
hello, I have an optimus laptop with bumblebee, and i've installed latest drivers and bumblebee, but I think that the latest nvidia drivers aren't being loaded.

#prog
Gnea: but do you know any other player that supports the Lyrics3 tag instead? and allows to read and save lyrics from an mp3?
also the performance has taken a hit
alessio: I can see how having the lyrics available like that would be nice, especially for deaf people
if i do sudo nautilus will that allow me to get the whole partition?
i meant file system
sambagirl, its gksudo, but not a good idea
it says device not found in cheese

bazhang why not? i just want to have the whole drive. just as a Possession
http://paste.ubuntu.com/1377582/
alessio: it doesn't look like anything has been officially released yet. id3lib seems to have support for it, though, so it looks like the bricks for the road have been built: http://id3lib.sourceforge.net/  Someone could be developing an app for it.

hi people. i need help :( ubuntu noob here
bazhang: thank you
i see it lsusb
HTC-DZ, details are useful.
TheLordOfTime: I searched and found the recommendation that I should put installed programs in /usr/local and larger programs in /opt
i see the webcam in lsusb but cheese says device not found
TheLordOfTime: This game writes a savesettings file but it can't since that's a root one :o was it a bad recommendation?
SunMoonStar, that's a general recommendation not a all-the-time recommendation
SunMoonStar, in some cases that's not what you do, in your case try it in /opt
SunMoonStar, if that doesn't work why not just run it out of your home direcotry

lord, i have and AMD 4000+ single core CPU, 4gb DDR 400 RAM, onboard nvidia 6510 GPU, but ubuntu 12.10 64bit crawls to do anything via the live cd
Hi there :) I have Acer aspire one 722 and apperantly driveres aren't isntalled. How do I install open source radeon drivers from command line?
oh the AMD 4000+ chip is 64bit
Gnea, i'm talking about 12.10 and the new installer
HTC-DZ, pretty old stuff
TheLordOfTime: i dont want a lot of random programs' settings files cluttering up my home directory. Is /opt open to users or only root also? I need to abstract this to understand where I should put my programs
SunMoonStar: root.
HTC-DZ, try Lubuntu.  and don't call me "lord" i'm not your god.  :P
jpds: where do you think I should put the program?
SunMoonStar, which "game" are you trying to run?
i know comp, up till now xp has ben moving slowly but im tired of it and i really like the look of ubuntu so thought id give it a try.
meant xp hasnt been moving slowly
TheLordOfTime: It's called Lantern which is an interface for chess program ICC. It's not in the repositories
whats the difference TLOT? ?
SunMoonStar, run it from your home directory, that's the only way it can save data correctly.
XP is very old, it would run on a P2.
SunMoonStar, or try one of the other chess programs out there.  (not sure what Lantern is though)
HTC-DZ, Lubuntu uses the LXDE interface, its not Unity but its FAR less resource-heavy
HTC-DZ, if you can't run Unity due to old hardware, use Lubuntu
(its a different interface though)
TheLordOfTime: my .bashrc seems to have a setting to include /home/bin if it exists. I don't know what 'bin' is in general, i assume it's binaries for custom programs that I developed. Do you think I should put it in there or should I put a separate /home/games directory or something?
SunMoonStar, uh... what?
SunMoonStar, /home/YOURUSERNAMEHERE/bin might be one place to put stuff
but /home/bin != valid
G'day everyone from New Zealand. I installed Ubuntu 12.04 LTS about a month ago. I have a single user account & I am the Administrator; BUT I can't access the 'Root' & 'Lost & Found' folders, nor can I use <shutdown -r now> command from Terminal - as I "need to be root". I entered my login password for "su" but -"password authentication failure" is returned? Can anyone help me? t.a.
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=12367531#post12367531 could anyone help, please?
beagleburt you need to use "sudo" not su
beagleburt, by "root" folders you mena /root/ ?  lost and found may not need accessing normally.  And use sudo
TheLordOfTime: I mean, is */bin in general a location I should put programs? or is that only for developers
beagleburt: unless you enable a root account. a root account is not enabled by default in ubuntu
SunMoonStar, its your system, run it from wherever you see fit.  I run half of my stuff on my servers as non-root, so...
i see, do they have LTS versions of lubuntu? what happens if i use an older version of ubuntu, say version 11? i know its not supported anymore but aside from the updates is there any draw backs?
TheLordOfTime: thanks for the help
SunMoonStar, i usually run stuff out of individual directories for each program out of my home dir.
"thesadmafioso" how do you enable a root account?
beagleburt: instead, in ubuntu the normal user "borrows" root privs to accomplish tasks. there's plenty of information in the official documentations about this issue.
what's the most awesome fluxbox theme. Transparency and dark and just awesome looking?
bleh.
beagleburt, we don't give help in configuring the root account from here.

I've just installed a package with aptitude and this installed thousands of packages. I guess most of them are only recommended but not dependencies. How can I remove these recommended packages without removing the package I want?
anyone knows if an ATI or nvidia card would play better with ubuntu?
HTC-DZ, lubuntu has the same release cycle of Ubuntu
HTC-DZ, Lubuntu 12.04 is still LTS.
same with Kubuntu 12.04, Xubuntu 12.04 and Ubuntu 12.04
TheLordOfTime: No, it's not.
jpds, you sure?  core is still LTS last i checked.  it shares core.
tucemiux, nvidia
TheLordOfTime: Only Ubuntu falls under the LTS support fom Canonical.
could you help me with ATI drivers -- i have amd fusion APU with 6550D integrated card -- proprietary driver works but it choppy when i do resize windows
jpds, official LTS you mean.
when i run open box it's OK
tucemiux: Nvidia but I use an ATi card and it works just fine. No issues.
dcherniv, you have an nvidia gpu? im thinking about going for the GTX 660, i s it hard to configure ?
why did the drivers change after an upgrade :/
the webcam worked after changing driver
i am wondering what other drivers have changed ?
tucemiux, have ati here not by choice. nvidia is usually pain-free and driver install from nvidia.com is pretty straightforward
HTC-DZ, i'm wrong then.  its not "LTS" officially.  won't have the LTS title.
nonvediae, pastebin output of glxinfo
thanks Gnea
dcherniv,  im going for an nvidia then, if they work with ubuntu, might as well support the hardware manufacturer that plays nice with your OS
anyone knows what is the status of wayland?
tucemiux, released 1.01
tucemiux, sure you dont need more trouble
i just checked theres kubuntu out as well. this has KDE. correct me if im wrong, but KDE, GNOME, LXDE is just the UI?
tucemiux, make sure to get the driver from nvidia.com it has been updated recently on the account of the whole linux steam beta
i have not access to this pc right here, what flags to check in glxinfo output?
dcherniv, but is wayland supported on ubuntu?
TheLordOfTime: I personally use Xubuntu, much lighter than LXDE and has an LTS. Just remove the 'dock' and drag the top bar down to the bottom and thats the closest thing to a 'Windows' that you can get. I've never been happier.
tucemiux, not at the moment, maybe in the next release
o/
nonvediae, how do you figure your graphics is shot then?
mikefrett: I wouldn't say that it is lighter than LXDE.  Maybe more easily configuable, more feature rich and/or user frendly.
mikefrett, no, Xubuntu doesn't get the LTS title.
only Ubuntu does.
thanks for your input fellas, im going to the mall and check out an nvidia gpu
still searching for answers:  http://dpaste.com/834822/
TheLordOfTime: Xubuntu is same as Ubuntu, 12.04 is LTS
What is the difference between me enabling a card during the install and enabling it after?
That's not true eh, 12.04 is an official LTS
vfw, it doesnt assume the LTS title.  LTS is the canonical-supported title, nothing gets the LTS title EXCEPT Ubuntu.  officially.
where can I look for kernel flags or something that would lead to that behaviour
they all hav ehte same support length, but not the "LTS" title.
Then my official cd was misprinted then...
mikefrett, vfw, argue with jpds on that one.
how would I go about reporting this as a bug?
jpds is more senior on that than I.
not sure what was last seen...
 I need some walk through help on getting a wireless nic to work. I've been trying to get th ndiswrapper to work but it doesn't seem to, I have a wusb100 and right now it is using rt2800 but it drops connection on high bandwidth downloads
TheLordOfTime: That is what LTS is, the length of support.
vfw, silence, i'm done arguing this, take it up with jpds.
TheLordOfTime: And it certainly does get the title of LTS.
arguing the same thing, you are both right. Argue elsewhere :)
* TheLordOfTime goes back to stabbing the system.
you guys are losing me lol  <pulling hair out>  so let me get this. ubuntu = android. KDE,GNOME = samsung touchwiz and HTC Sense UIs? i know i sound retarded im just trying to get my head around the terminology
i am getting a fatal: ndiswrapper not found even though I completely removed it and reinstalled it twice now...
HTC-DZ: think of it this way, KDE LXDE XFCE Unity are all just a set of default applications with a different look for each environment.
IdleOne, don't they each have a different library to pull from though I remember installing KDE on ubuntu to get something to work before...
IdleOne: I am not arguing, only correcting. Just trying to set the record straight.  Xubuntu 12.04 is a Long Term Support release (LTS) and will be supported for three years per the Xubuntu LTS plan.
hey guys, is there a alternative for itunes because I have an iphone and I am looking for a tool which help me to backup my iphone like in itunes
HTC-DZ: The description I just gave you is very minimalistic of course. like zoneout83 just pointed out they share some libs and for some apps you might have to install different libs, the package manager ( Software Center) will take care of that part for you.
aaahhhhh i seee :D ok now im picking up what you guys throwing down
vfw: My point was that you were both right and that this channel is not the correct place to discuss it.
there is  a but with NM, when I specify the DNS servers for OpenDNS and validate, still failing
i think #ubuntu-offtopic is the channel lol
<-- Still hoping for help with an NDIS
wrapper
By the way, if any of you are in the US, Happy Thanksgiving. I'm thankful for Linux and all the Devs.
with regard to LTS, normal releases are supported for 3 years, LTS versions are supported for 5 years. or am i mistaken? im sure i read that somewhere
12.04 is special
is there an ubuntu server channel?
#ubuntu-server
lol I have 12.04 LTS so where's my support ;)
ok nevermind. 3years is right. 5years is for server editions.
IdleOne: thanks
welcome
HTC-DZ: Regular support is 18 months, LTS Desktop is 3 years.  See:  https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LTS
hola
ok guys, off to research which ubuntu will be right for my dinosaur of a machine, if i need any help il come round again :) thanks all for the help. :) im starting to like the Linux Community already. People be helpful and polite :)
alguien podria ayudarme
por que se ve opaco los videos
ah ok gracias
zoneout83: The 18 months or 3 years of support means that for that length of time, you get updates to  your system.  When that length of time is over, you reach EOL (End Of Life) and you have to upgrade to newer version in order to contiune to receive support, (in the way of updates for your various applications).
vfw: I was just joking around except I do need help with this ndiswrapper
zoneout83: Where are you at with it?
vfw: I've installed the wrapper and I'm getting fatal: ndiswrapper not found when I try to install a driver
i've removed it and reinstalled it.
you are sure you need ndiswrapper?
basically I have a wireless usb network card wusb100 that everytime I download something I get dced even though it says it's still connected. streaming youtube installing updates all that causes the connection to go down then I disconnect then reconnect and I'm back on for x amount of mb I guess.
k1l, I have wusb100 using rt2800 the driver I downloaded is rt2870 and no I am not sure but it worked in 8.04 LTS
the card was working fine last week-end in windows 7 and on an older xp machine FYI
zoneout83: can you paste the line showing the device in "lsusb"?
any switches?
zoneout83: Did you get the correct inf file?
most times the ndiswrapper is not a stable as the linux drivers
i pasted output here http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=ETp0rCWY
vfw, I grabbed a usb driver from the linksys website firmware 1.0
zoneout83: ndiswrapper -l  #Tell us what that says.
it says driver installed lol
and even has the driver that failed to install listed
zoneout83: So, what happens when you modprobe ndiswrapper?
rt2870 : driver installed
	device (1737:0070) present (alternate driver: rt2800usb)
zoneout83: You need to remove the incorrect one.
zoneout83: it should work with the rt2870 without ndiswrapper. maybe there is a need to block rt2800usb
quit
johnny5@TARDIS:~$ modprobe ndiswrapper
FATAL: Module ndiswrapper not found.
zoneout83: ndiswrapper -e incorrect-driver
hello?
anyone here?
no
:>
ndiswrapper -e rt2800
couldn't delete /etc/ndiswrapper/rt2800: No such file or directory
if these weren't two liners I wouldn't be pasting them in here... FYI
LOL ... there was a bad lag time... i wasnt sure if I was connected... has anyone tried to install ubuntu 12.10 on the HP elitebook?
can anyone help me to enable oracle java on ubuntu
i installed the jdk.1.6.0_30 bin file
run with ./
the files are under /usr/lib/jvm
when i apply update-alternatives
it print no alternatives
zoneout83: iwconfig  #tell us what that says.
is there a alternative for itunes because I have an iphone and I am looking for a tool which help me to backup my iphone like in itunes
zoneout83: Are you 32 or 64bit?
http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=4TKSzCde vfw and 32 bit
Juggle, meh just symlink the binaries from /usr/lib/jvm/whatever/java to /usr/bin
anyone ?:(
vfw I am running a amd phenom ii x4 945 just put it together last night.
everything to get this far about 400.00
zoneout83: Well, I dono.  Just now seeing: http://bernaerts.dyndns.org/linux/229-ubuntu-precise-dlink-dwa160-revb2
markoK, afraid not. there are some clients that let you upload/download music but nothing that does what itunes does fully
k I gotta go family stuff I will be back tonight though
thank you for the help
<k1l> zoneout83: it should work with the rt2870 without ndiswrapper. maybe there is a need to block rt2800usb
zonetti: Looks like the device is wroking.  Why are you trying to install ndiswrapper?
Hiya
vfw, excuse me?
vfw: that is what i was about in the first place
is there a way to enable display auto dimming in precise?
k1l: It is a USB device, I think.  At least that is what he said earlier.
zonetti: Sorry, zoneout83 seems to have left us.
yes. but this works without ndiwswrapper. some users only find windows drivers on the manufacturers page and think they have to use them with ndiswrapper instead of using the linux ones
vfw, yeah.. I saw that later :)
i did thank you
any iphone user here?
markoK, what applications have you tried
can anyone recommend a guide/command to change xubuntu (11.10?) into ubuntu (I just want unity etc instead of xfce)
kymara, the package ubuntu-desktop
bazhang: ok thank you i was worried (from ol dguides) that would only give me gnome, i'll try it
kymara, apparently the ubuntu-desktop should do the trick
kymara, ubuntu is gnome, you realize
bazhang: just banshee
markoK, what about rhythmbox
how to i extract a rar file
i am trying but getting error
is there another way
bazhang: what is the closest to itunes?
markoK, in what respect
yes, unrar is already the newest version  message comes when i try to apt-get install unrar
bazhang: lets say I jailbreak my Iphone and want the normal OS back, in itunes I can get my "normal" os back that I backedup. is there a linux alternative that can do the same?
is there a command that will tell me if any files are being accessed in a certain folder?
markoK: no
markoK, to reinstall the firmware? not that I have ever heard, no
bazhang: so only itunes can do it :(   thats bad to hear, so wine or VM is my only alternative ?:(
Vista_: lsof
Vista_: lsof |grep "/path/to/etc"
vfw: thanks
exit
markoK: there is another alternative
vfw: I opened a file in nano from the folder oscar but lsof | grep "oscar" no returns
markoK: dont buy apple products, because they are just a big jail. buy something which is not taking away your freedom
hi - I have an ntfs partition mounted in ubuntu and I copied data to it from a tar archive. I can see the directory I made when I boot to ubuntu, but not in Windows
why can't I see the data on the ntfs partition when I boot to windows?
bazhang: thanks i got what i wanted :) (unity stuff :))
after editing sudoer file it takes immediate effect

hey all, I have my SPDIF OUT channel connected to my stereo system.  Why is it that when my stereo is muted, the SPDIF channel automatically gets muted after a while?  It didn't used to do this (I am on Ubuntu 12.10, and this started after I upgraded from 12.04)
iceroot: its not my iphone, it belongs to my sister. I still have a nokia 5800 :(  but my next phone will be the nexus4 :)
Roey, most onboard sound cards with spdif do that. It's a "power saving" feature. imho, it blows.
i have metasploit install i thinking to setup cron job  to update metasploit but i can't do this with root account because i use rvm so i have to use rvmsudo for update to work here is paste of sudoer file i edited to use rvmsudo without password so i can setup cron job but its not working i still need to enter the password

Is there a way to remove all files except for those of a certain type (.doc, .xls, etc) from a folder and its subfolders, yet retain the directory tree structure?
is uefi better than bios?
DaimyoKirby,  you could use find ?
DaimyoKirby,  you might want to think about the files that you want to remove though  like if I wanted to remove all mp3's under ~/Music I would do           find /home/user/Music -name '*.mp3' -exec rm {} \;
that would remove all files that are mp3s
help with jockey-text please; "jockey-text --enable=kmod:fglrx_updates" fails... why?
wcapio: is a book better then a car?
hey steffen ubuntuhelpguy :-D
Bobweaver- the issue is that there are so many subdirectories, and so many different files, I thought it would be simpler to remove all files, and keep only a few.
hello everyone, i am currently using ubuntu which is a live cd booted from an usb stick, but the space i reserved for programs is FULL, so now i get the "low graphics mode error"
DaimyoKirby: like:  find path/  -regextype posix-egrep -not -regex '.*(doc|xls)$' -type f -delete
i want to use my live cd as it originally was, delete the reserved space perhaps
DaimyoKirby: you want to check and test that before you actually run it
i can get into the "TRY UBUNTU" screen, its where i am now
can anyone please help me? :(
_Bier: why not delete some of the files in the reserved space?
i dont know how and where that is
okay, so how do you know that's what's causing the problem?
i have access to my folders, but cant move anything to trash
don't move things to trash
because there is no trash can
delete them
what all did you install on it?
how?
if I meant "move them to the trash" I'd have said "move them to the trash"
well, <shift-DELETE> might be a good start
or just rm
shift delete doesn't do it
do i need the terminal for rm? if so how do i access it before im logged on
okay, then open a terminal and use rm
or change a prefrence in the file manager that lets you have the drop down context option of delet
delete
_Bier: <CTRL-ALT-F2> will drop you into a plain terminal
log in with your username and password as normal
work out where you want to delete stuff, and delete it
live cd user is    ubuntu
_Bier: There's a option to add delete to the context menu from nautilus
then <ALT-F7> to get back to the desktop
_Bier: if you've got stuff in .Trash, give that the bullet first
Fail
We meet again dr willis
Happy thanksgiving
What command-line can I use to cleanly unmount a hard drive partition of ReiserFS that was not cleanly unmounted?  Is there something like "fsck --fix-errors /dev/sda7" or something like that?
Just tested it in a directory tree I made on my desktop - `find /path -regextype posix-egrep -not -regex '.*(doc|xls)$' -type f -delete' worked great!
when i do /etc/init.d/nginx status it says it is running, but when i do /etc/init.d/nginx stop..it does not stop it. Any ideas?
Thanks so much!
DaimyoKirby: you can extend the list of extensions, just use | to seperate
Ok; I'm probably gonna write this down somewhere, it's so useful.
DaimyoKirby, or something like this
DaimyoKirby, find path/ -type f -not -iname "*.doc" -not -iname "*.xls" -exec rm {} \;
* dcherniv some people when faced with a problem say "I know i'll use regexp". Now they have two problems
dcherniv: hehe
yah because they solved the first problem with regex and are now on to other things
:)
now if only I could get Ubuntu installed (display driver problems)
Hey, folks- Anyone here that can help me with a dual-boot-Intel-Mac install?  Specifically, what do I need to do to get one to work?  The ubuntu-12.10-server-amd64 going through the normal install doesn't seem to be working.
Does anyone here have an AMD HD6800 series with fglrx working?
z1ng3r: you need to use bootcamp and/or custom firmware
SlitazMint_noteb: Why?
SlitazMint_noteb: can't get it to install the drivers :(
Dmole- I have rEFIt installed, which seems to be the recommended way of doing it.
Because I'm reinstalling my system after losing it from installing fglrx
why do drivers get messed up after an upgrade?
I need it to work.
*kernel
SlitazMint_noteb: So which Ubuntu are you using in detail?
"ERROR: modinfo: could not find module fglrx"
I was using server editition until I realized there was Ubuntu Mini
12.10
i got everything sorted out but was wondering if this was a bug or something
z1ng3r, what is your macbook air version? (ex: 3,2)
i installed win8 and created 2 partitions and am now trying to boot ubuntu however it doesnt even acknowledge the os at all and goes straight to win8. i'm going to remove it just wanted to know how you do a dual boot?
cheesecakes, which drivers?
webcam
SlitazMint_noteb: fglrx just crashes so you get no interface after boot?
It's not an Air.  It's the old-school Macbook (the black one)
cheesecakes, uvc type?
cheesecakes: Which driver?
yes uvcvideo
old school to me would have been powerbook :D
cheesecakes, was the uvc module not loading with new kernel?
yes i think
What do I do to restore the system if the screen goes black after rebooting with fglrx drivers?
tany takers to my question?
leftist- Yeah, well, I work with a bunch of "kids" who have to have the newest thing that comes out of the Foxconn plant.
i had to add to the kernel startup list manually and blacklist the wrong driver
SlitazMint_noteb: I used [Ctrl][alt][f1]
ha i can dig it z1ng3r
leftist- Did you install GRUB or are you trying to use the win8 boot loader?
i just installed w8 in a partition and deleted all the previous ones so it's just w8 and empty non formatted partitions
so was this a special case?
i might have to do this through windows probably.
cheesecakes, probably, what driver was loading instead of uvc?
leftist- Ah- I'd try to lay a new ubuntu install down in another partition, then use grub as the boot loader.
i dont remember
ahh it came up :D
brb
cheesecakes, dunno weird, uvc is standard for webcams. Should have been loading by default
I think I'm going to try bootcamp instead of rEFIt.
Dmole: When I got the black screen nothing would show up at all.
also my pperformance has slowed up a bit
what are you trying to do z1ng3r?
Is it possible to fix fglrx problems from a live distro?
idk why
SlitazMint_noteb: Did you check wether fglrx supports your hardware at all?
leftist- I'm trying to dual-boot my Macbook (not Air) between OSX and Ubuntu.
what ver osx?
is that a ppc mac?
SlitazMint_noteb, no response at all? ie CTRL+ALT+F2?
leftist- I'm trying to use rEFIt so I can pick at boot time rather than having to boot all the way in and pico one or the other.
SlitazMint_noteb: hold shift during boot, and add nomodeset to the kernel line replacing quiet splash
Just got this message when trying to partition my drive and was wondering what it means: /dev/sdb contains GPT signatures, indicating that it has a GPT table.  However, it does not have a valid fake msdos partition table, as it should.  Perhaps it was corrupted -- possibly by a program that doesn't understand GPT partition tables.  Or perhaps you deleted the GPT table, and are now using an msdos partition table.  Is this a GPT part
leftist- I'm on 10.7.5, and it's an Intel mac.
ok
hey guys, on which place and file does ubuntu list all its services/daemons, I want to edit it manualy
hi. how do I forward system mail messages (such as cron errors) to an e-mail address? I have postfix configed and working
SlitazMint_noteb: http://askubuntu.com/questions/162075/my-computer-boots-to-a-black-screen-what-options-do-i-have-to-fix-it
markon- Look in /etc/rc2.d
I was wondering if someone can direct me to the right place for Oracle java.
umm z1ng3r i cant help you with that one i'm so sorry
markoK, /etc/init.d use update-rc.d tool
i've never used it as a boot loader
leftist- no worries.  Thanks for the consideration, though.
SlitazMint_noteb: grub 2 is close to the same thing
I'm gonna try to install the drivers again. What method and version should I use? I did sudo apt-get install fglrx last time it didn't work. (following the documentation of course)
dcherniv: its not a simple text file, I mean why do I have to use a tool?:)
markoK: Things listed with an "S" will automatically start on boot.  Things listed with a "K" will not.
markoK, they are text files in a special directory
markoK, the runlevel on which service is run is controlled by symlinks to /etc/rc#.d
markoK, you can update those symlinks manually but there are 6 runlevels, lots of symlinks to keep track of and very easy to mess it up
markoK, so there's a tool that does it for you :)
dcherniv: okay but would be nice to know whats going on
Should I download fglrx from AMD if apt-get install fglrx didn't work?
SlitazMint_noteb: no idea, maybe ubuntu just won't work with ati
how do I forward system e-mails (root's mail) through postfix to a gmail address? I have postfix working properly atm
SlitazMint_noteb: maybe this: http://www.unixmen.com/ubuntu-12-10-and-amd-catalyst-problem-solved/
devral: edit the .forward file?
devral: /etc/aliases:   root:  you@gmail.com                       then run "newaliases"
Java Chat Room Please
is there a difference between creating ~/.forward and changing /etc/aliases?
devral: You did say postfix.  .fprward is for sendmail.  DO what llutz said.
hi
ah, gotcha. thanks
devral: np.
Okay- off to screw around with trying to make BootCamp work.
Later folks.
who knows how to change gnome visual look?
Hi hi - is there such a thing as a "Printscreen for the terminal". I know I can pipe the output of individual commands. What I want to do is to capture the ascii buffer from the current terminal, and write it as a text file. Is this possible, can anyone recommend a tool?
jilebedev: There is no such tool, I guess.
jilebedev: >file.txt
when I type "mail" to check my user's mailbox, I get: "Cannot open mailbox /var/mail/devral: Permission denied"
anyone can help me with gnome?
devral: "ls -l /var/mail/devral"
devral: should be devral:mail

jilebedev: What is your end goal?
anyone can help me with gnome?
tomek_: Just ask, please.
Jordan_U: If what he said is accurate >file.txt is all he needs.  Right?
how change gnome visual look
?
tomek_: Which Ubuntu do you use?
latest
vfw: It doesn't sound like that's exactly what they needs, but it's hard to tell without them telling their end goal.
s/needs/need/
jilebedev: if you know you want to capture when starting a session, use "script"
tomek_: Which is "latest"?
tomek_: No need to open a query.

I thought linux and nvidea had problems, but I did not expect the 12.10 installer to fail so completely with an amd graphics chipset :(
i can't find a solution to this external drive problem, the drive doesn't register on my desktop via any usb port, dmseg and syslog don't show anything being plugged in,
but the drive works on my laptop, which is also running ubuntu
Dmole: never had any problems w/ nvidia in linux, more so with amd/ati thou :/
so the drive is good, merica, but maybe the port on your computer isn't
unheeding: i tried many ports, and i know they work, cause i have other devices using them
i even tried, unplugging all other usb devices, and it still didn't register
its a usb3 drive, and my mobo has usb3 ports, but like i said, i tried all the ports
nobody here?
newp
nobody here but us chickens
how come i cant see anybody?
Nice compiz + Cube Desktop + Android + Windows 7 + BackTrack
WIN all across the board
any ideas on why this drive wont register while connected to my desktop, but works fine in my laptop
both are fresh installs of 12.10

hi all has any one tried to install itunes on ubuntu using wine or playonlinux?
Hey all. I am about to reinstall ubuntu on my laptop and I just remembered that there is something with grub and something else I had to edit after the computer loads to desktop. It had to do with the graphics card
Does anyone know what I am talking about?
proprietary drivers?
No, it was some line I either edited or appended in grub. I can't recall though
what kind of graphics card is it?
nvidia
optimus?
not sure
Guest9259: maybe nomodeset in the linux line of grub
im just wingin it here
dmole: that was it
yeah
dmole: do you know what it was that I need to type exactly?
Guest9259: http://askubuntu.com/questions/162075/my-computer-boots-to-a-black-screen-what-options-do-i-have-to-fix-it
was what i was gonna say
<<```1```>>
thanks you guys
happy thanksgiving
Guest9259: you might want to use 12.04 as I can't get 12.10 to install the right drivers
Dmole: why not?
som1 halp meh plz!
merica: Can you speekz english pleaz? :)
:P
my external usb3 1tb drive doesn't register on my desktop
fresh install of ubuntu12.10
merica: Then take a look at "dmesg" in a terminal when plugging the drive in.
merica: seemingly endless reasons; first problem was the black screen on boot, second problem was compiz using all the CPU, 3rd problem was selecting 3rd party drivers failed because some file is missing (now there is no unity on boot), 4th problem is the .bin from ati failed in some way....
i have tried all the usb ports, which i know are good because i use other usb devices,
merica: try 12.04
merica: what file system does it use?
bekks: dmesg doesn't show anything,
merica: Do you have an USB3 port at all?
yes
merica: Do you have an USB3 cable, too?
yes
merica: what file system does it use?
everything is new
ext3
merica: if you run:  sudo fdisk -l    do you see it?
new hardware (desktop computer), fresh installs, new external drive
ActionParsnip: no
merica: does "sudo lspci -k" show you the USB3 controller?
newp
"newp"?
merica: is the device usb powered or is it powered by a separate power
no
sry
ActionParsnip: its usb powered, and it works on my laptop
i did try unplugging all the other usb devices, then plugging the drive in
merica: Then the controller isnt recognized at all. Did it ever work - even with a different usb device?
same result
merica: when you last unplugged it, did you unmount it properly?
yes
bekks: it works in my laptop
with usb3 and fresh install of ubuntu 12.10
merica: So you plugg out the entire controller (out of your PC) and plug it into your laptop?
merica: have you tried setting the USB to legacy mode in BIOS?
bekks, i remove the drive from the desktop, and plug it into the laptop, and the laptop will mount it
merica: Thats not what I asked.
ActionParsnip: legacy mode is on
merica: do other devices work in the ports?
ActionParsnip: yes
bekks: i didn't understand then
merica: The USB3 _controller_ isnt recognized at all, as you told us.
So either it is broken, or disabled in the BIOS.
http://pastebin.com/4z0Zh4XS
merica: Then why did you say "no" when being ask wether lspci -k shows the USB3 controller?
merica: how about booting with it attached
sorry, i must not have read the entire thing and assumed you said drive in stead of controller
ActionParsnip: tried that as well didn't change anything
merica: Then unplug the drive, wait 10s, plug it into the USB3 port, wait 10s and pastebinthe entire output of "dmesg" please
http://pastebin.com/nQcWRLR1
k
thats prior to what you just said
hello! is anyone here familier with inotifywait. I have a problem where i run it as root but it appears to run scripts as a normal user
Im having some sound issues. The following makes my toslink connector output digital audio (albeit with very poor quality) mplayer -ac hwac3,hwdts, -channels 6 -ao alsa:device=iec958 <file>. The problem is that I cannot get pulseaudio to send the signal to my toslink plug. Any ideas (both for the horrible quality and for the pulseaudio issue)?
merica: Do you dual boot the system?
as of yesterday yes
though, iv never used the drive in windows
can't, being that its ext3
merica: check in windows that the USB is not set to be able to wake up the PC and disable power management. It can help
merica: the Windows OS may be 'holding' the USB ports
http://pastebin.com/yNmBNGLZ
well, this was the case before i dualbooted
merica: while you are doing that in windows do the same for the NIC
merica: do you have the latest BIOS?
Well, after a while of working at it - I've finally got PHP 5.2 working on Ubuntu 12.04... phew...
good question, i haven't checked for bios updates
merica: the BIOS gives settings for the ports, may help
yeah, i looked at that, wasn't much to mess with, and nothing seemed to change anythin
Next question. I'm looking for a list of differences between PHP versions - so I can then go look at the code for problems.
darrenlooby: Check their changelog. :)
darrenlooby: ask in ##php maybe?
but, i had this problem yesterday with ubuntu 12.04, prior to my format and dualbooting
Hey guys. So I am trying to install ubuntu and the screen goes black. I turned on the nomodeset thing but that doesn't cut it. There was something else I did when I originally installed it
merica: try the drive in windows (you should at least be able to see it)
grub works great with win8! good day!
i dualboot my laptop as well, and the drive works fine in it
merica: try CentOS
alright, i'll boot into windows, see if it can see the drive, and check for bios updates
brb
merica: the drive will show up in the disk management but not windows explorer
Big surprise, fglrx screwed me over again.
How do I restore? I am in rescue mode in a shell.
SlitazMint_noteb: did you try 12.04?
I'm in 12.10
No I did not
SlitazMint_noteb: I was unable to get amd working in 12.10, so I'm installing 12.04 now...
seems my /etc/rc.local isn't run at startup, at least none of the parameters I have in there are set, it executable and has the hashbang
what else could be wrong?
Dmole: tell me if it works
Dmole: What card do you have?
SlitazMint_noteb: ... don't know
Dmole: Desktop or laptop?
So when I try and install ubuntu and I check nomodeset, noapic and apci=off Ubuntu loads for a while then leaves me at the command line (logged in as root) what do I do?
KjetilK: did you add the command above the 'exit 0' line?
ActionParsnip, yeah...
SlitazMint_noteb: laptop
KjetilK: add an extra line to run:   echo "it's running" | tee /home/username/Desktop/test.txt
This is the script: http://pastebin.com/8uS7FG9M
KjetilK: change 'username' for your username
KjetilK: then, reboot. If you see the file. you know /etc/rc.local IS being processed
ActionParsnip, right
KjetilK: try that first, then we can progress
SlitazMint_noteb: MAYBE a "Radeon HD 6490M"
hmmm, problem is, this is my MythBuntu box, and it currently has some problems getting up, with a scarily low Wife Acceptance Factor as a result...
is there a way how I can use auditd to check what process/who is chown-ing some file on filesystem ? I can see that this is doable for accessing the files...but can't see any reference to chown-ing - obviously I know that chowning wouldnt work without accessing...
Dmole: Mine is HD 6870
so, I guess I will try to debug it later, when the detrimental effects of a falling WAF isn't that pronounced :-)
Dmole: Please don't forget to tell me if it works for you.
gyre007: if the command is running at present, you can run:  ps -ef | grep chown
SlitazMint_noteb: no problem, I'm just sitting around waiting for the install to finish...
helo what is /usr/share/python-support/ folder is that still exist 12.4?
SlitazMint_noteb: did you try sudo add-apt-repository ppa:makson96/fglrx ?
hozmaster: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1378030/
SlitazMint_noteb: what is the output of:  lsb_release -sc
no ActionParsnip this happens randomly...also I doubt Id catch it with ps :) chown doesn't usually run several seconds :) especially on the superfast servers these days
ActionParsnip, actually, this could explain it:
root@tigger:/etc/rc2.d# ls -la S99rc.local
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 18 Jun 28  2010 S99rc.local -> ../init.d/rc.local
Dmole: No, what's that?
ActionParsnip: quantal
SlitazMint_noteb: drivers
SlitazMint_noteb: as per http://www.unixmen.com/ubuntu-12-10-and-amd-catalyst-problem-solved/
gyre007: if you are chowning a folder with lots of small files, it will take a while.
so, it appears to point to rc.local in init.d
Anyone know how I remove the AMD drivers I installed from AMD website?
I'm in rescue mode and a have a shell up.
SlitazMint_noteb: (using the ppa was the one thing I did not try on that page)
./Connection_Manager: error while loading shared libraries: libusb-0.1.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
??? error
SlitazMint_noteb: dpkg -l | grep fglrx      should give a clue
KjetilK: /etc/rc.local != /etc/init.d/rc.local, different files
ActionParsnip, you just beat me to that
ariesam: what is the output of: lsb_release -sc
llutz, yeah, that's the problem
KjetilK: you want /etc/rc.local
i got <app>.public which contains file to other place
llutz, what will run /etc/rc.local?
ActionParsnip: Did not output anything.
SlitazMint_noteb, do you have synaptic package manger
KjetilK:  /etc/rc.local  will be called by /etc/init.d/rc.local
SlitazMint_noteb: so the ones to install will need removing :)
llutz, ah, ok
ActionParsnip: fair enough :)
so, I can debug this problem by running  /etc/init.d/rc.local
Evil_Eric: No I don't
but when I start ie. app i got no such file or dire
ariesam: its a terminal command
if you did have it installed you could simply search for the gfrlx and remove the packages
KjetilK: sudo "/etc/init.d/rc.local start"  to test
llutz, yeah, and it ran
ActionParsnip: Since I did not install the package sudo apt-get remove --purge fglrx doesnt work.
I installed from AMD this time.
SlitazMint_noteb: try the packaged version
ActionParsnip: How do I remove what I have now?
ActionParsnip: I did try the packaged version when I was using Ubuntu server 12.10 if it doesnt work ot that then it wont work on ubuntu mini 12.10 i dont think
this might work sudo apt-get remove --purge fglrx fglrx_* fglrx-amdcccle* fglrx-dev* xorg-driver-fglrx
SlitazMint_noteb: do you want a desktop OS?
Hi guys, I've update to firefox 17 on lucid, but scrolling on some pages (like http://www.findchips.com/avail?part=NJW0281G ) it's really slow... has anyone noticed that?
Evil_Eric: That didnt do anything. -__-
SlitazMint_noteb: or are you just getting no display onscreen?
Holden: what desktop are you using?
ActionParsnip, it's lucid, so gnome 2.30
ActionParsnip: yes i want a desktop os, everything was working fine till i installed fglrx, now the screen is just black when I reboot
SlitazMint_noteb: so why install server?
I didn't know about mini edition, now I have mini.
* laff3n <- needs help setting up a bitcoin miner ... have pclbm installed, have issues with ATI opencl ... but cant find any info on google
KjetilK: I suspect your settings are being over-ridden by the /etc/init.d/ondemand service (/etc/rc2.d/S05ondemand )
Hi, again I forgot, what is the command to wipe a hdd in linux ?
SlitazMint_noteb: if you let the OS boot some then press CTRL+ALT+F1, do you get a prompt?
sudo rm -rf /
TJ-: unlikely, since S99 runs after S05
amews_aj-study: you can use dban or dd
amews_aj-study: dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda
lol, he asked
TJ-, oh, I'll look into that
merica: please don't put commands like that in here. It also doesn't wipe it effectively
amews_aj-study, use a partition manager
ActionParsnip: Nope
i think i gave him what he was asking for
not even splash screen
my example was so bad the  ubottu	bot could not comment
but thats all beside the point
llutz: KjetilK  ondemand starts and then sleeps for 60 seconds, then sets the scaling governor
TJ-, it may explain the cpu_freq stuff, but not the lirc statement at the end?
ActionParsnip: the drive didn't register in win8 either, and it appears there might be a bios update
merica: it's not, it could be a different drive to the one booted to...couldn't it
meric  new users might not know the effects of that command
won't happen again
KjetilK: Indeed. As ActionParsnip said, you need to add some logging to the file and reboot the PC to check it
hmmm, the cpufreq is pretty archaic by now in my setup anyway, I'll remove it
thanks ActionParsnip but the error continues, apparently did not find that file "libusb-0.1-4.so" and the program can not start.
SlitazMint_noteb: did nomodeset not get you a spash screen?
merica: so jumping to such a ridiculous assumption and destructive command is far from helpful
:(
* KjetilK nods, I suppose so
merica: Have you confirmed that the drive isn't trying to draw more power than the USB3 port can supply? The USB2 spec says it should provide 900mA but its not unknown for that to sometimes be lower.
s/USB2/USB3/
ActionParsnip: exactly what else could he mean by "wipe a drive"?
tj KjetilK even then, "ondemand" sets governor but not min-scaling-freq
Dmole: user could have 50 USB drives and want to wipe just one
Dmole: that is nothing to do with / or rm...
TJ- i haven't confirmed that, idk how i would, i just know it doesn't register on the desktop
I managed to restore the old drivers.
ActionParsnip, Dmole ^
SlitazMint_noteb: sweet :)
ActionParsnip: true using root as an example was bad, and likely dd is the more secure option he was after
Hello! I have an issue. I know than anacron runs tasks with run-parts. The problem is that I have a job which is extremely long, and I would like anacron to the following tasks even if this job is not completed, any solutions?
*to run
SlitazMint_noteb: but do they perform at all?
Dmole, we suspect his intentions ...Ive seen ppl advise others to use that command with malice.
llutz: KjetilK cpuinfo_{min,max}_freq are read-only values - so you can't write to them. They're info about the CPU, not control knobs :)
Dmole: exactly :)
when i try to install teamviewer  it shows error
BluesKaj: don't be to obvious now
TJ-, uh, ok
Dmole: folks jumping to conclusions without asking for any details is bad for user data
some ai32-libs missing
why
TJ-: wrong, you can override them using echo bla > var
this was something I experimented with back in the day before VDPAU, so I needed the CPU to do HD video playback
llutz: They're read-only
llutz: At least, on 2 systems here they are
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4096 Nov 22 22:20 /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_min_freq
Dmole, Perform? I just removed them.
hi, i'm looking for a way to use "Yahoo Messenger" with video and chat
heh obvious , that's a good one
llutz: It depends on the system then. I'm seeing "-r--r--r--"
I don't really need to us e yahoo messenger itself, but pidgin doesn't allow video/audio
with the yahoo protocol
BluesKaj But I'd like to use a tool a bit more thorough
SlitazMint: like the reason I tryed using 3rd party drivers in the first place was the open ones were slow
KjetilK: What does yours show for "ls -l /sys/devices/system/cpu/*/cpufreq/cpuinfo_min_freq"  ?
TJ-, -r--r--r--
Dmole, no it doesn't "perform" at least I have my desktop back. I haven't given up on fglrx yet
so, I guess this could explain it, it fails there and doesn't execute the rest?
Dmole, Where there is a will there is a way. =P
KjetilK: Well, that explains why you don't see a change then :) Now you need to figure out the lirc issue
TJ-, could it be that since the cpufreq fails, the rest wasn't executed?
KjetilK: The script is "-e" so that would make sense.
KjetilK: no
:-)
KjetilK:  man dash:  " -e errexit       If not interactive, exit immediately if any untested command fails."
true you are, sry
anyone ever see the right mouse click act as a left mouse click?
./packages/Ubuntu/ati-packager.sh: 294: ./packages/Ubuntu/ati-packager.sh: debclean: not found
How can I control what dpkg-reconfigure foopackage does without manually selecting the right value?
Dmole: when you set the mouse for left handed, yes
What is that?
KjetilK: You could just do " echo 1800000 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_min_freq || true"
KjetilK: That way, on systems where it fails it'll still return success to the shell and continue onwards
TJ-, yeah, I could but I just removed them since I don't need them anymore
thanks anyway, I'll check next time I boot the box
hmmm http://askubuntu.com/questions/191864/right-mouse-button-doesnt-work
somethings up with kernel.ubuntu.com?
ping 98ms; seems ok
thnov: Seemingly. I also can't access it.
yah port 80 is timing out for me aswell

hi. habts ihr ein OffTopic channel ?
sorry
german ;-)
psiklops:  #ubuntu-de-offtopic
bekks, thanx, just forgot to punch in the -de ;-)
SlitazMint: I seem to have a "Mobility Radeon HD 4200 Series" and/or "Radeon HD 5000M Series"
Dmole, HD4000 and below don't work on 12.10 anymore.
Dmole: That ping is probably answered by their load balancer.. getting HTTP content is another story though :)
SlitazMint: only both 5000 and 4200 > 4000
SlitazMint: They do. You just have to install the legacy drivers (Catalyst 12.6).
I meant HD 4000 series or lower.
Dmole, ^
oh
Galvatron: only installing will fail and make you need to reinstall :(
Galvatron, I'm having trouble with my AMD drivers on 12.10
I have HD 6000 series.
The legacy drivers might already be incomaptible with the current X.org.
SlitazMint: there is a PPA for the legacy driver, the xorg in Quantal hates 2xxx 3xxx and 4xxx ATi GPUs
SlitazMint: 6xxx should be ok
I`ll try again them
then
* SlitazMint crosses fingers.
ppa here : http://www.unixmen.com/ubuntu-12-10-and-amd-catalyst-problem-solved/
worth a punt, even with the newer chip. Its easily rolled back :)
To tell the truth, the users of HD4000 and lower should best switch to nVidia, to save time and nerves.
ActionParsnip, Should I get fglrx or fglrx-updates or both?
Galvatron ^
SlitazMint: ?
 Should I get fglrx or fglrx-updates or both?
Ok, definetly not both
fglrx didn't work in ubuntu server 12.10 i know that much
So maybe fglrx-update?
Best try the latest version from AMD's website
Try both stable and beta
Galvatron, I already did.
I'll try beta then.
-___-
If even the latest drivers from AMD don't help, then installing those from the repo won't help
I'm starting to hate AMD.
As they are likely older
Galvatron: newer != better ;)
Thet's the sad reality of AMD and X.org
apt-get make-a-wish-and-hope-for-the-best ;)
Galvatron, Should I install or make a package then install?
there may be a ppa for the newer versions from the amd site
The ppa is called X-Updates/X-SWAT
It contains the latest stable version
There also the #ati channel, dedicated to support the propritera drivers, and #radeon, for the open ones
Galvatron, Should I install or make a distro specific driver package?
Just install
hi
is there any professional spell checking software for ubuntu that goes beyond wordlists?
hi
i am especially interested in german spell checking with plain text files
Galvatron: Did not work, do you think it will work in 12.04?
SlitazMint_noteb: I'm enabling the updates driver in 12.04 now....
You mean the installer from AMD's website?
(from the ubuntu "additional drivers" window)
After 10 minutes my screen goes black, despite my power and brightness settings - is there a way to stop this happening?
Steve^: 1) screensaver 2) powermanagement
I'm trying to install ssl-cert on an ancient box but it's failing.  Is there a way to tell it to ignore failures in post install?
Dmole, 12.10 doesn't have a screensaver, power management are all set off or very high, even all the random values I can find in dconf-editor
JohnFlux: Which Ubuntu is it?
irocksu: don't all spellchecks use wordlists?
maybe these driver  problems are related to the kernel.ubuntu.com being down?
ActionParsnip:  ive been trying to think how ELSE they could work. ;)
bekks: not sure it is - it's an embedded system
dr_willis: exactly
Dmole: Dont think so
bekks: customised version
SlitazMint_noteb: failed in 12.04 as well :(
JohnFlux: Basedon which Ubuntu version?
bekks: debian squeeze
JohnFlux: Thats no Ubuntu then.
thats an odd ubuntu version. ;)
why is it that modinfo can't find fglrx????????????
Dmole: Because it is not there.
Dmole: lsmod will tell you what's loaded
bekks: smart, ok better question why won't Ubuntu 12.04 or 12.10 install the recommended 3rdparty graphics driver ?
auronandace: don't see how that will help
Dmole: Well, how did you install your driver then=
Dmole: -___-
bekks: SlitazMint_noteb and I are trying all kinds of options non of them working :/
bekks: from the ubuntu "additional drivers" window
Dmole: "all" and "none"... well, unless you have a fglrx.ko kernelmodule, "none" will work.
some drivers need "sudo apt-get install linux-headers-`uname -r`" why i don't know ...
bekks: and clicking the button should install it but somehow it's not working (fglrx is in lsmod btw)
Dmole: when lksmod shows fglrx, the module IS loaded already.
hi
OerHeks: so it can plug into the kernel, for APIs and so forth :)
bekks: so what's with the error message?
I have to go pick up some people BBL SlitazMint_noteb, let me know if you find anything
I just switched from unity to gnome3 and I like it a lot more
except the multiple desktops
gskellik: unity uses gnome3
I know ActionParsnip, I meant I stopped using unity
gskellik: unity isn't a desktop environment
Dmole: Ok
gskellik: ;)
I know
-_-
lol
anyway
is there a way to get a 2x2 desktop back instead of the 1xwhatever
gskellik: what windows manager are you using?
gskellik: gnome-shell dynamically gives you as much workspaces as you are using plus 1
HI i was wondering how to uninstall world of warcraft i tried sudo apt-get remove world of warcraft but its saying that world of warcraft isnt the right file location or something
How did you install it?
auronandace, yeah thats why I said 1x whatever I meant is there a way to get it to have 2x2 instead
josephagarenzo, I would assume you used wine to install it right?
josephagarenzo: 1. which ubuntu? 2. how did you install? 3. what is the exact output/errormessage?
I just liked the unity desktop switching more than the gnome3 one
josephagarenzo: WoW is a windows game, not installed as a package
josephagarenzo: so apt-get won't see it
gskellik: not that i know of, check out their extension site
josephagarenzo: also NONE of the package names have spaces
=(
extensions.gnome3.org?
well im runnign on ubuntu 12.10 wine of course
josephagarenzo: if you go into the installed folder for the game and find the uninstaller app, you can run that with wine and it will remove
josephagarenzo: or try running:   uninstaller
i think i tried that but ill try again,tried running the uninstaller but it didnt work
gskellik: almost: https://extensions.gnome.org/
josephagarenzo:  depending on how you installed it exactly. there may be a .wine directory you can just delete
playonlinux and other wine-helpers may use other directoriues
josephagarenzo: also you can ask in #winehq for wine specific help
josephagarenzo: dr_willis: if you do you will need to delete the icons from ~/.config/menus/applications-merged
i see well im going to try .wine but i cant run the uninstaller through wine i think,going to try an figure this out
josephagarenzo: if you still see icons in dash, check that folder
k
how do i uninstall chrome? apt-get remove chrome ??? or use the ubuntu software center?
sambagirl: sudo apt-get --purge remove google-chrome
apt-get and the software center do the same thang. ;)
actionparsnip i just checked ubuntu software center and it shows install for chromiuim...that is wierd cause it's on here already
okie dokie
chrome and chromium are not the same thing
sambagirl: chromim and googe-chrome are similar but not the sme
*same
ahhh i see
which is preferred?
chrome is very buggy
sambagirl: chromium is the open source one
oh ok
thanks
sambagirl: chrome is a snapshot of chromium, then some proprietary blobs (pdf reader, flash) are add
ed
hmm, well that is not the expected message
ahh i see
thanks
sambagirl: so it depends on your preference, neither is preferred, its a personal choice
sudo apt-get --purge remove google-chrome
sambagirl: I use chrom as it make flash stuff run better for me
that didnt work
sambagirl: try:  sudo apt-get --purge remove chromium-browser
yes but chrome is having fits on practically all platforms i use. even the one for iphone
sambagirl: on my android phone I use opera mini. Its so fast!
i use opera on android too
i'll install chronium since chrome wont remove
i'm back to usinng firefox basically
sambagirl: try:  dpkg -l | grep chrom
sambagirl: should give clues :)
ok
this may sound a little strange but i was wondering if there could be internal software code fighting on computers due to wars between competitors?
hi all
there is such a thing as vendor specific spyware i think
can you help me
sdddssd: ask and see :)
sambagirl: the scope of this channel is just ubuntu support
this is relevant to support auronandance
I want to create a custom Xubuntu LiveCD with preconfigured applications etc, is there a tool for doing this ?
ActionParsnip: well i want to install ubuntu
because support is irrelevant if indeed that is what is occuring
sambagirl: no it isn't, ubuntu is open source, check the code yourself if you don't trust it
i can check the code but i cant check binary libraries
sambagirl: cmon, stick to ubuntu support here. for other stuff we have #ubuntu-offtopic e.g.
sdddssd: ok, what is the issue?
ActionParsnip: well i want to install ubuntu
sdddssd: then grab the ISO, MD5 test it and burn to a CD as slowly as posible. Boot to the CD
ActionParsnip: no i mean cant decide between gnome shell and unity
ActionParsnip: can you  help me to decide? (no i don't want to have them both!)
I want to add an extra palce here http://i50.tinypic.com/1jsz82.png
sdddssd: take unity.
k1l: ok but why?
sdddssd: why not?
:)
k1l: so i prefer gnome shell a bit
sdddssd: because it's newer, and supported
k1l: but if the integration isn't good ...
sdddssd: then use the gnome-shell.
sdddssd: unity is just an alternative shell to gnome-shell, both are on top of gnome3, having them both installed will hardly take up any extra room
sdddssd: this is if you ask someone which is the best car. since we are a bmw channel the first answer will be: bmw :)
sdddssd: Try Unity, its default installed.
ConG
gnome shell installation needs much of improments
gnome shell installation needs much of improvements
sdddssd: ? just install the metapackage. or what do you mean?
the theme is horrible
and the icon set is the grey gnome default one
looks fine to me.
Not sure how that  all is ubuntu support specific either.. ;)
sdddssd: what does default theme and iconset have to do with the installation process?
since they are rather trivial to change
sdddssd: Out of the box, Unity is much better than Gnome-Shell.Gnome Shell seems more configurable, but all the extensions i tried to get it how i wanted it were slightly buggy. If you know javascript you can probably get gnome-shell to do anything you want.
the defaults in gnome-shell are terrible
yes
:)
cant really say ive noticed... or were bothered by them
and the other thing is should I take 12.04 or 12.10?
i think gnome-shell properly setup would please me more - but i haven't been bothered putting as much time into it. I use unity, or gnome-classic
12.10 has newer packages
How about this. Was this place in the menu designed to be added to? http://i50.tinypic.com/1jsz82.png
sdddssd: 12.04 = 5 years support; 12.10 = 18 months support and newer packages
i've had 1 problem with 12.10: unity doesn't work with my nvidia graphics card (hence i'm backto gnome-classic there)
well okay then I'll try ubuntu 12.10
i'll thank you very much, a very big thanks of my inner heart
elsewhere 12.10 is fine
my inner heart is very pleased to have talked with you
.
Cong:  i only have a Move To Trash....  not sure how you got a Move To Desktop. ;)
doomlord: which nvidia gpu?
gtx 640. gl itself works fine. its just compiz broken
ignore parts
i bought it for 4screen joy
dr_willis, what version of ubuntu are you using?
the ability to use 4 screens pleases me more than the loss of compiz
Cong:  12.10
doomlord: I'd just run with what you have, compiz makes things slow :)
dr_willis, that's why.
doomlord: what are you using 4 screens for? Damn
doomlord: We use 4 at work but we are monitoring multiple sites and hundreds of customer sites and kit
Got 2 Screens here. ;) Noticed i could add a 3rd... :)
ActionParsnip, the experience of a Macbook Pro has taught me , desktop effects are genuinely useful. I found a macbook pro as productive as a desktop machine with 2 screens because the expose/spaces worked so well in conjunction with the multitouch trackpad
One for IRC, one for Videos. ;)
I'm going to give up the chase to change things!
ActionParsnip, coding, i set them up thinking it was a gimmick, now I'm used to it and dont look back. I have emacs setup to automatically bring up definitions on spare windows to the side as you navigate a sourcebase :)
doomlord: ahh makes sense
I have 1 screen for 4 systems. SSH and web interfces are great :)
ah the inverse ... i'd get claustrophobic with 1 screen - unless i had a multitouch gesture to zoom out :)
doomlord: why? all it's for is web browsing and chatting. why would you need more?
My perfect setup stilll doesn't exist. I'd like desktop switching that was multimonitor aware: each moniitor displaying a different desktop, ability to switch desktops to any screen
doomlord: sounds like workspaces, you could have a workspace on each screen and switch them around (in theory)
yes that's what i'd like. everything i've seen on linux swiches all monitors together. Of course with maximized single windows you can just pul them between monitors.. you could argue there's much less need for workspaces with multimonitors
gnome shell does  the seconc monitor weirdly ive noticed
dr_willis: i ilke the way its handeled
even plain expo doesn't really do what you'd really like
with gnome shell it acts likes its broken. ;)
hi
i need some help setting up my ssh server
ho
ah yeah i think i recall it getting confused with its (useless)panel
im pretty new here
billbill:  install the package.. its done.. ;) what more do you need?
well i need to set up portforwarding and my public ip address
i do not know where to find this
Totally depends on how your network is setup.
billbill: in your router
i can't launch ubuntu-one under gnome-classic, i tried the commandline command
ok i went in router and open the ports
where do i find my public ip address?
billbill: you'll need your router manual
ok i will go try look for that and read
billbill: access the config web page and forward porrt 22/TCP to the IP of the server system. You can then use http://www.ipchicken.com to get your WAN IP and connect to it
billbill: that depends on your router (which is no ubuntu issue). or use a homepage like whatismyip.com  or smth like this
i have the ssh client setup i just do not know what to send to people to log in and test it
so my public ip address is what whatsmyip dishes out at me
?
i know it
billbill: the IP address from ipchicken on port 22
so i send out this user@ip
ok ill try that
billbill: the username is the name on the server system which they use to authenticate with
billbill: for ssh to work, you must enable port forwarding on your router, specifically port 22
oh that was already said.
sry didn't scroll back
how do i do that
crimsonmane, you in here too?
how do i enable port forwarding
i hoping once i get this setup i can ask a friend to log in and help me once he can access the network
im very new to linux, like 5 days into it
billbill, you need to access your router's ip through a browser.
i have done that
SlitazMint: for now i am. until the ops get upity with me again.
i am on the router now
hi
billbill: port forwarding is OS independant, so being 'new to linux' isn't a factor in setting up port forwarding in  router
ok but it seems beyond me and making it hard to get ubuntu running
i thought i could get help here, i do not mean to disturb
billbill: the fact that you are using ubuntu is mooted by the fact thatthe router uses a web interface, so it will be no different to if you were using Windows. The web interface doesn't change because you are using WIndows
try #linux aswell but they tend to be snottier there
is there anyone who can help me in a pm get this setup
billbill: in your web browser go to "192.168.1.1"
i am there
did it ask for username and password?
defaults are "user user" or "admin admin" or "user admin" or such like that
its funny how it can be easier to use an internet connection & cloud service to get between machines in the same room sometimes :)
billbill: this is router related. best ask in #hardware or in our offtopic channel #ubuntu-offtopic
on router actually..options are internet connection wireless firewall 2701hg-g gateway
billbill: click wireless
SlitazMint: still no luck, giving up
billbill: look around in there for "port forwarding" or "port triggering" ... pref "forwarding"
Dmole, I have an idea.
billbill: what make and model is the router?
SlitazMint: install windows?
hi i from argentina
done it is a 2wire from bell
my partitions used to be automatically mounted on /media/<UUID> whenever I booted. Now I have to do it manually. What gives?
Duff005: howdy
I'm gonna try to install fglrx-updates instead of fglrx while following the ubuntu documentation.
i apprecaite the help guys
Dmole, other linux distros don't seem to have this problem I just came from Mint and it worked fine.
cordyceps: what options are on the partitions in fstab?
SlitazMint: I tried both on both releases
Dmole, did you follow the docu?
SlitazMint: I just clicked install on the 3rd party drivers window
Oh I see. That's basically the same thing but with a GUI.
SlitazMint: I also tried the bin from the amd site ~
ActionParsnip: there aren't any. I wrote in: user,auto,exec,rw but it still didn't work. I have to do it from the cli
I don't have the "Additional Hardware" program. I'm on mini ubuntu.
Dmole, I tried both version from AMD site.
mount -t jfs etc
SlitazMint: In  12.10 it's in the software sourses
Dmole, Don't give up on Linux, use some other distro.
Other distros work for me.
Dmole, I have no Software Sources either. =P
i cant seem to find anything about port forwarding
I have basically nothing, just Mate.
any blackfriday computer discounts/deals/promos?
?? vim
SlitazMint: I _need_ an encryped laptop before tomorrow so I think I'll just live without 3d drivers then go back to OSX when I finish with this temp disposable laptop
Dmole, you gonna try another distro?
Dmole, Oh I see.
SlitazMint: next time I'll try mint or centos but I'm giving up for this time
Mint was very nice, I just got Ubuntu Mini because I wanted more control of what is installed. I don't like having a bunch of stuff installed by default.
SlitazMint: good luck, and be sure to add whatever solution you find to the wiki it you find a solution.
Dmole, I think we just have to wait for Ubuntu devs to see what Mint did that they didn't. =P
Thanks.
Mint is based on Ubuntu that is what I don't understand, if it works on one it should work on the other.
SlitazMint: Dmole well, that is a topic that better suits in the #ubuntu-discuss or #ubuntu-offtopic
since its far beyond the support stage
k1l, You are right.
billbill: where are you at on the port forwarding?
i had to step away
crimsonmane to the rescue!
my partitions used to be automatically mounted on /media/<UUID> whenever I booted. Now I have to do it manually: mount -t <fs> /dev/sdn /mnt. Adding a line to fstab doesn't work.
k1l: look we were not able to get drivers working in ubuntu after a whole day of trying stuff, we are just leaving so cool the off topic remarks
anybody know a fix?
cordyceps: adding the exact line from /etc/mtab to /etc/fstab does not work?
hello
Hi, this is the place to get help for a problem, no?
in 12.04 how do I configure the launcher bar on the left?  Right clicking it no longer brings up a settings menu
Ok, so I have installed the latest version of FreeMat. Everytime I run it from the console it tells me I need libpcre.so.0. For the life of me, I cannot figure out how to get this directory. What is the command to install this directory?
specifically I want to make the launcher bar hide when I'm not using it
causative: System Settings/Appearance/Behavior
Ok, so this version of FreeMat is not compatible with 12.10? because the package does not exist in 12.10
trism, it had been overridden by an external program so I clicked restore to default, then turned hiding on
but now it won't show up at all even when I move my bar to the left or to the top left corner
er, move my mouse to the left or the top left corner
CopaceticMan: i cant really say, i was hoping it came up, but i have no clue what you are installing to begin with so i was just trying to pull a needle from the haystack
ive seen some bugs with using the auto hide feature of the left side launcher.
http://freemat.sourceforge.net/
It is a matlab like program
CopaceticMan: but google may be your friend, http://www.upubuntu.com/2012/03/how-to-fix-this-error-error-while.html
hi, i've put this script under /etc/init.d: http://bash.nopaste.dk/p15470
and then started it as described here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBootupHowto#Installing_custom_init-scripts
but first two lines don't have any effect on boot
Elo ubuntu people
ah found the solution
causative: what was it?
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1965991&page=9
Pulcherior: great band :)
well the original script is without "&&"s, since third line won't get executed otherwise
any idea what's causing this?

after doing some search i can hear sound with this command "tvtime | arecord -D hw:1,0 -r 32000 -c 2 -f S16_LE | aplay - +"

when runing tvtime command at the command line i got this two errors :
almoxarife, it changes ondemand cpu governor's up threshold and sampling down factor
almoxarife: Ok thnx
last line scales down ati vga's frequency
omerta: does it happen if you send the echos after bootup?
echoing manually works
omerta: are you echo'ing to a process that has not started when done at boot up?
almoxarife, sorry, it doesn't work manually
it says permission denied even with sudo
omerta: good luck, :)
hehe thanks
Holla!
Sadly, I need to do this from my phone. Hardware problems.
howdy, i'm about to by my first laptop that i plan to run solely linux on.
xubuntu or ubuntu is what i plan to install
and this is the laptop https://shop.lenovo.com/ilind/IL/en/learn/products/laptops/thinkpad/thinkpad-edge/e135/index.html
Hey all.  I have 12.04 on a laptop, and acroread fails to launch from Firefox - I can launch acroread from cli, but when I open a PDF from Firefox, I get an error about the PATH.  When I run Firefox from command-line and open a PDF, I can see a permission denied error.
however, it seems there are not so many linux reports on this machine. it has an AMD E-Series E-300 1.3 GHz cpu with AMD Radeon HD6310M graphics
do you think it will rock ubuntu?
Radeon can be problematic..
eightfold: best way is using the livecd... but since you haven't bought it yet, and you MUST have linux - have you looked at system76?
but it could work fine.. it just depends on the exact chipset
there's this: http://www.ubuntu.com/certification/hardware/201206-11151/
but it doesn't share exactly the same cpu
and gpu isn't mentioned
arrrghhh2: no, i haven't. this comes so cheap right now so it's either buying this or buying nothing
http://ubuntuforums.org/ seems to be down btw
eightfold: uhm... ok?
ubuntuforums.org is not down... use downforeveryone.com.
arrrghhh2: should have checked before saying anything. well, rest of the intarwebs works here. except for http://ubuntuforums.org/
might be some dns problem on my side
ok...
might = must
anyhoo, I actually have a support question.
anyone have experience with acroread failing to launch from Firefox?
hello
this thread summarizes my issues http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2034837
i have a default vnc server installed - vino, i was wondering is it possible for a user to connect to another "display" so that it is not mirroring the main display?
arrrghhh2: I use chrome, its all built in :)
ActionParsnip: this isn't my machine... I don't really have a choice of using another browser/pdf viewer.
this used to work great... i don't understand what changed... it seems permissions related, but I can't figure out why.
dwarder: believe so, but you have to serve up the other display, x11vnc something does it
Hi friends, my ubuntu 12.10 install is crashing upon startup and I'm attempted to diangose the log files in the /var folder but they are blank, i can get to a command line booting from the installed OS or a live cd option... could anyone assist please?
arrrghhh2: launch the browser from terminal, it may give clues in the output
acroread is a ram hog
ActionParsnip: yup, done that... which is why i think it's permissions.  would you mind helping?
arrrghhh2:  if the terminal stuff gives no errors, next thing i  would do would be making a new user. and seeing if the issue affects them. and test in the guest account.
dr_willis: tried that as well.  issue follows the new user account.
terminal gives an error, but i don't know where to go with it.
can you run acroread stand alone from the terminal?
arrrghhh2: i have little expeience of both
dr_willis: yup.  would you mind reading this thread?  it details my issue exactly.  http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=12368401#post12368401
almoxarife: so i won't be able to do this with vino,right? i'll have to install x11vnc?
ActionParsnip: OK thanks anyways :)
dwarder: i dont know enough about vino to make decision either way
arrrghhh2:  where exactly is libBIB.so  could be the binary is looking for it in the current directory where it was called from
how did you install that acroread anyway? normally the package manager dosent put stuff in /opt/ i thought
dr_willis: it's in /opt/Adobe/Reader9/Reader/intellinux/lib - and when I run acroread and look at lsof and grep for acro, it shows libBIB in use.
almoxarife: ok got it installed and running
and whether i install from the partner repo or get it directly from Adobe, it always installs to /opt dr_willis ... not sure why
I need a little help cleaning my build environment
almoxarife: so i guess i just need to connect to 5901
almoxarife: as opposed to 5600
almoxarife: right?
arrrghhh2:  you could alter the library search path to include /opt/Adobe/Reader9/Reader/intellinux/lib  perhaps..
dr_willis: can you expand on that?  not sure how that works...
arrrghhh2:  look in /etc/ld.so.conf.d/
why would running acroread work, but running /opt/Adobe/Reader9/Reader/intellinux/bin/acroread doesn't?
OK
each file adds a path to the default lib path. try making one to add that acroread lib path
i would GUESS one being called from a diffrent direcory is causing it to look somewhere else for that lib.
dwarder: sounds like the right port, i found it opening multiple ports as i chose new displays, like i said, i dabbled with it just long enough to figure out that vnc'ing in from android was going to be a pain
i dont have acroread here at all. :) never seen a need to install it.
dr_willis: do you have an example of how to add it?  i looked at all three .conf files in that folder, and it doesn't make a lot of sense...
ah ok... no worries.
arrrghhh2:  each file just contains a path..
cat libc.conf   # libc default configuration
/usr/local/lib
a comment. and a path. ;) about as simple as it gets
so just put the lib path?  OK
How can I clean up my build environment?
dr_willis: too simple.  :P  do i need to restart any services?
It is all screwed up and wont compile properly anymore
dwarder: and anyway, what is wrong with a nice x-window via ssh?
arrrghhh2:  no idea.ive not had to mess with the lib paths in years. used to be you would run ldconfig
johnnyonflame, I like to make build dir and then from there I just cd <source>/build/rm *
dr_willis: cool thx
johnnyonflame, what is lang ? got a branch ?
bobweaver, no, what I mean is
I installed some packages
and I cant compile stuff anymore
arrrghhh2:  of course used to be you had a single ld.so.conf file :) not a directory of files..
due to LOADS of random incompatibilities
I need to clean up everything and start from scratch
if I were to reformat my hard drive, and my Ubuntu partition to be thrown back on the drive is not the first partition on the drive at this point, what would I need to do?
and right now a full reinstall is not an optopn
dr_willis: hrm.  well I'll reboot this machine just to be sure.  brb.  it didn't make a difference so far.
johnnyonflame,  ok I c what is it that you are trying to compile? what libs are needed ect. is this cmake ? make ? ect
bobweaver, everything, I have sources that use cmake, ones that use make
etc
I need to remove all gcc stuff, etc
johnnyonflame, you use update-alternitives ?
I don't use it for quite a while
johnnyonflame,  if you are to just typ this into the computer sudo update-alternatives --config <TAB TAB TAB >
johnnyonflame, do you see the options that you can use like gcc ect
you can set what version{s} you would like to use
cmake clean up  CMakeList.txt
so that things match if you can not then fix the libs in the program ?
johnnyonflame,  ^^
bobweaver, I get 125 references hitting tab
I was wondering if anyone knows how to make the Computer desktop display (From Tweak Ubuntu) can look more like Disk Usage Analyzer for a GUI.
yeah there is 125 things that you can configure then johnnyonflame  there is also " update-alternatives --query "
johnnyonflame,  like "update-alternatives --query gcc "
there's no query here
oh there is sorry
dr_willis: no dice :(
uh, nothing on gcc
/usr/bin/acroread: 23: exec: /opt/Adobe/Reader9/Reader/intellinux/bin/acroread: Permission denied
damn I think I'll end up having to do a clean install
:|
johnnyonflame,  you are sure that there is different versions ?
anyone know how to get ntfs working on ubuntu?
I was wondering if anyone knows how to make the Computer desktop display (From Tweak Ubuntu) can look more like Disk Usage Analyzer for a GUI?
johnnyonflame,  sometimes it is best to use things like "testdrive "
smacktalk1: unless you're on some ancient version of Ubuntu, it should "just work"
smacktalk1, ntfs was working greatly under linux
yeah looks good

bobweaver, you mean sources?
correct johnnyonflame

arrghhh2, why do you need acro read ... They have a bad reputation for linux
to potentially reiterate the question from earlier while combining it with clarification: if I were to clear a hard drive aside from an Ubuntu partition at the end, what would I need to do to extend the Ubuntu partition backwards?
blackshirt: because the document viewer app doesn't let you modify forms... so if you have a PDF that is a form, you need acroread.
johnnyonflame,  that is a big project wonder if there is deb somewhere ?
bobweaver, I actually NEED to build this
Does any body here know how to install rar and unrar on ubuntu?
just having the deb in hands wouldn't help much here
otend: boot from a live CD or live USB and use GPARTED to resize the partition. note: the drive must not be mounted, so do not open it in a file browser
johnnyonflame,  what is your Ubuntu version ?
Guest95371: sudo apt-get install rar
would anything more need to be done if resizing backwards?
bobweaver, 12.04 iirc
arrrghhh2: thank man !
np
ubuntu, rar just a archive file format
Guest95371: also install p7zip-rar p7zipfull unp unrar rar
johnnyonflame,  lets see compile errors plz in pastebin
oh right forgot about unrar
FULL errors
blackshirt: its also a command
derp

hey, does anyone know why when i press the fn+lower brightness button, it only shows the screen darkning but it doesn't actually do it?

so.. any suggestions?  acroread issues with Firefox?
arrrghhh2: doesn't firefox have a list of apps to use when it gets files opened in it, and what apps to use
ActionParsnip: I installed Chromium, and it just saves the PDF file...
ActionParsnip: yep.  doesn't seem to matter how I tell it to use acroread, it always fails.
arrrghhh2: chromium doesn't have the inbuilt PDF reader, chrome does
It's k. I was just mildly confused. I've asked questions about kwin in the past so I was wondering if someone had checked their IRC after like 6 months or something. :p
arrrghhh2: what happens when you try to open a PDF?
ActionParsnip: uhm... K.  I only saw Chromium in the repo
arrrghhh2: in firefox

i have black cousins, and they dont like unity
wtf would race have to do with distro?
p0rk: don't feed the trolls...
i dont like unity either and im white
lol
ok, that was funny
im not feeding him
brad_: then tell them to try a different desktop to Gnome. The colour of their skin is irrelevant
he wants to say some dumb sh!t, i want him to substantiate that dumb sh!t with fact
you got me..
meh
brad_: got you how...
arrrghhh2: if you run: /opt/Adobe/Reader9/Reader/intellinux/bin/acroread   does it launch?
quantal 12.10 keeps downloading child porn to my desktop, is that a known issue?
ActionParsnip: that's the strangest part - it does not.  if i run /usr/bin/acroread it runs, if i run /opt/Adobe/Reader9/bin/acroread, it runs.
12.04 always downloaded latina shit... but it was mostly legal
arrrghhh2: have you told firefox to use the longer file name to run the reader?
what im getting now is just outrageous
bazhang: cheers
ActionParsnip: I've tried telling Firefox to run it from all three file locations... none work.
arrrghhh2: if you install another PDF reader and tell firefox to use that, is it ok?
arrrghhh2: hmm, i may have a sneaky workaround
ActionParsnip: like document viewer?

does installing KVM with Ubunuta do anything different to the filesystem or grub than it does if you install without KVM?
arrrghhh2: worth a try, it can be removed :)

ActionParsnip Radion somethinger-other. How do I check the exact card? lspci or something?
cakeboss: a simple symlink will still only run as user
ActionParsnip hi how can I set to allow to erveryone read permission on folder ?
TeamColtra: lspci | grep -i vga
ActionParsnip: Ill just whip something up in python then, I suppose
cakeboss: oh, wait - do you actually mean a shortcut to run something?
cakeboss: I may have misread.
tonyyarusso: yes
then yeah, what he said
tonyyarusso: I need to edit this file on a regular basis
what file?
zatan: chmod a+r /path/to/folder     to apply to ALL subfiles and subfolders use:  chmod -R a+r /path/to/folder
Would it be more appropriate to add yourself to a group with write permission to it?
cakeboss: its a 2 line bash script....
ActionParsnip: j
k*
what to use instead of dreamweaver?
ActionParsnip lspci | grep -i vga returns nothing (moves down to the next line in terminal)
ActionParsnip, nice thank u :)
thank you teamcoltra bro
on ubuntu
twice in a row ive installed 12.04 fresh install and both times i get a corrupted fstab
i.e. edid web pages
edit
web masters here?
ActionParsnip but I just ran lspci and found it
ATI RS880 HDMI Audio [ Radeon HD 4200 Series]
TeamColtra: and what is the output of:  lsb_release -sc
bazhang: which one should i try?
dwarder there was one I think it was called genie or something and it was really good. Bluefish is nice but bloated.
ActionParsnip Quantal
TeamColtra: The Xorg in Quantal hates Ati 2xxx 3xxx and 4xxx GPUs. This PPA will help: http://www.ubuntuvibes.com/2012/10/how-to-install-amd-catalyst-legacy.html
I was so close with Quantas
TeamColtra: the only feature i realy need is to show me a preview while i'm edit html, that is all i need i think
:D
dwarder hmm I don't know about that one, sorry
is it possible to search files from gnome-shell on 12.10?
hmm hoe do i enable long press?
i.e. i press backspace for a long time and it starts to press itself fast
or any key
somehow i have it disabled
delac: in s a terminal, run:  sudo updatedb
delac: when it finishes, you can use the locate command to search for files, and fast
hello i have a question.. i ran out of blank cds and i want to install ubuntu from a dvd. can someone help me try to decide which iso to get either i386, or amd64 is a compaq presario laptop series vpcel
mds-: what CPU do you use and how much RAM do you have?
i have 4 GB
and is amd i believe
mds-: Its probably a 64bit CPU, use 64bit Ubuntu :)
amd e-450 apu
ActionParsnip: does not seem to work. you sure there is nothing I should install? I'm talking about using the gnome-shell overview to find those files.
ActionParsnip can you give me the url to download the iso so i can burn it to a dvd.
does ubuntu has or have any dvd isos?
i'm downloading this http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/12.04/release/ubuntu-12.04.1-dvd-amd64.iso
mds-: yes
is it correct?
or at least has in the past
is that the right isO?
Hi anybody has experience with zoneminder
mds-: looks fine, I use cdimage as well
mds-: as long as it passes MD5 test in the official site then source is moot
Hi. I'm looking for the alternative download ISO for 12.10 but can't find it -anywhere-, can anyone assist?
Ok... the Conky solution and the Screenlets solution isn't what I wanted at all.
Ry`: there isn't one
ActionParsnip: Then I can't use ubuntu. Why isn't there one?
Ry`: you can use the mini iso if you want a text installer
ActionParsnip so it might be a bad image the one I'm downloading?
What is the best way to stream from my workstation (12.10) to my nexus 7?
mini iso?
I want to be able to view all the volumes in Computer (on the desktop placed by Tweak Ubuntu) properly--space remaining, total space, VolID, etc.
Conky and Screenlets has nothing to do with this.
DerpyDerp, gnome-shell has extensions for that
Ry`: http://news.softpedia.com/news/Canonical-Drops-Alternate-CDs-from-Ubuntu-12-10-289338.shtml
bazhang: Like?
ActionParsnip: That doesn't help people with unsupported video cards
Ry`: yes, it installs a very small subset of the OS (no gui) and you can install packages as you need from there. It installs using the web
DerpyDerp, go check their webpage
Ry`: the mini iso installs in text mode
Where is the mini iso?
Ry`: did you try various boot options for fixing video issues?
bazhang: Keep in mind that I'm using the unity display as it is Ubuntu 12.10
DerpyDerp, then you'd want unity lenses
Thanks, ubottu and ActionParsnip.
* DerpyDerp looks up unity lenses.
We'll see if it gives me enough tools to do what I need.
DerpyDerp, gnome-shell is available for 12.10; I have it installed
bazhang: Wouldn't gnome-shell conflict with unity? They can't be running simultaneously... can they?
DerpyDerp, they are both shells, so need to run seperately
bazhang: Ya, I don't want to do that just for a nicer UI.
I'll look into this Unity Lenses that you mentioned.
Welcome FRodrigues! You have achieved a new peak of 1564 users for #ubuntu!
ShaneO, ?
hmm sorry idk what triggered that
bazhang: Did you mean "Unity GITHub Lens" package?
hi! How do I set permanent Environment Variables?
http://askubuntu.com/questions/38772/what-lenses-for-unity-are-available   DerpyDerp
is 12.04 a good iso to install?
or i just get the other one... 12.10? instead?
Okay new problem: ActionParsnip I installed that PPA you suggested, but now my laptop shows the purple screen when it boots (solid - no ubuntu logo) then blank screen. Ctrl+Alt F2/3/4/5 do not take me into terminal
and I tried to boot into grub, and that also only shows a blank screen
Thanks bazhang, going to restart.
can anyone help with mount/unmount issues?
can someone please help me to restore my xorg from the live cd
can anyone help with mount/unmount issues?
ive read through guides but am having no luck
my xorg is hosed and when i boot normally i can't get a terminal, please help a noob bros
I am trying to mount my windows 7 partition in order to access my files in ubuntu. every time i try to do so i get an error message saying that the file system is in use. help?
rion: post the error message *verbatim*
okay give me one sec, thank you
im not getting the same error message anymore, just long instructions on how to mount
i looked in gparted and it says that its mounted in /host. i tried to unmount so i can remount in a different directory but i can't do so because "umount: /host: device is busy.
        (In some cases useful info about processes that use
         the device is found by lsof(8) or fuser(1))"
gparted is probably not what you want
the error message tells you exactly why you can't unmount it, something is using a file in the mounted file system
rion, is this a wubi install
it could be even something as daft as your current directory is in the mounted file system
yes it is a wubi install
oh
oh no idea, then
that would explain it
wubi is horrile
" it could be even something as daft as your current directory is in the mounted file system" - how do i go about fixing that?
*horrible
rion: change directory
if you mount something on /mnt
and you do "cd /mnt" then it will say the filesystem is busy
I mean, it *is* busy, it's just not necessarily what you'd expect
you can't saw off the branch you're sitting on
rion: also, wubi should be banned
haha okay. well im very new to this and i just have a very basic understanding of the coding
whoever came up with it needs to have their hands set on fire, and then be stuffed into a barrel of rusty screwdrivers and brake fluid and rolled down a steep hill
i created /mnt/windows i just can't mount the partition there
yeah, I'm not surprised
wubi basically doesn't work
is there a program that can search for a specific word in a dir. and through its files?
WeThePeople: grep
cool
didnt know grep did that
that's what grep does, GRab Regular expression and Print
so can i just move the mountpoint? or are you suggesting i uninstall and boot from cd?
the trivial use is "grep someword *" which will search for any instance of someword in all files in the current directory
sweeeeeettt
im gonna try it
rion: oh, I just thought
rion: you might not be able to mount the windows partition, because it's already mounted, because it contains the filesystem image for Linux
rion: mounting the windows filesystem on top of a wubi filesystem will make it go all Inception on you
how to configure vpn connection ??
nn all
haha okay that would make a lot of sense. so basically i gotta start over?
the win file system is mounted on a wubi install
it is mounted, i just can't see it in my file browser
and it is as dangerous to muck about it as it is within win
rion: in terminal , 'locate windows' , should point to a folder
goedonjcp, it goes like this grep| words  <or>  grep | words  ??
gordonjcp, ^^^
@almoxarife okay now it just scrolled through a million lines of code
rion: run:  ln -s /host ~/Windows
rion: makes life easier
WeThePeople: where are you getting the pipe from?
WeThePeople: I don't know what you're trying to do
also, it's 2:15am and I'm off to bed
rion: no code, locations maybe
nothing happened
gordonjcp, ok so i dont need the pipe
rion: you can now open your home folder in the file browser (called nautilus) and see the link.
not unless you're sending the output of grep somewhere
rion: the command doesn't output anything
Hey guys. Does anyone know how I can install pygtk2 and pygtk2-libglade?
rion: this mounting of the host NTFS partition (imho) is the ONLY good thing about wubi
still can't see it
sorry if im being really annoying about this hha
rion: so when you open your home folder, with Pictures, Downloads etc, you don't see a folder called 'Windows'?
ActionParsnip: wubi is good, say it
gordonjcp, i would like to find 'start main content columns' in all the files in a dir without having to look through them manually
awwwwww sheeeit eureka
almoxarife: NEVER!
thank you good sirs
rion: so you can see it.
lol
another satisfied customer,  i wonder if he knows he can trash win from the wubi side?
WUBI loves to break things
it should totally be abandoned
daftykins: replace 'things' with 'itself'
wubi is good, wubi makes men out of windoz users
and women
err no
its fine to test for maybe a week or so, but long term its garbage
Can anyone tell me why pygtk2 and pygtk2-libglade aren't showing up in the repositories?
what it does is bring people in here with problems that are impossible to fix XD
ActionParsnip, agree
?
daftykins: had a user a while back with 'import' data and no backup held in a wubi install
lol
daftykins: we got there, but god it took an age to get there
so it was locked in a prison? :D
cakeboss: python-gtk2 (source: pygtk): Python bindings for the GTK+ widget set. In component main, is optional. Version 2.24.0-3 (quantal), package size 805 kB, installed size 2956 kB
ugh, did you have to mount the image files in Windows, or vice versa?
daftykins: mount ntfs, loop mount wubi, alll explained via text.
nasty
daftykins: i only found two issues that were particular to wubi/win, 1. losing grub after a kernel update (its fixable from the win side, stupid easy fix at that) 2. the file(partition) for ubutun turning into swiss cheese, not so easy, one has to repair the ntfs file sys first, and hope that did not cripple the wubi(ubuntu partition) :)
Stanley00: hm?
user was obviously quite above average for the likes we get?
cakeboss: you can use python-gtk2, pygtk2 does not exist in ubuntu.
daftykins: slightly above but willing to try so terminal a-go-go
almoxarife: i just don't see an advantage over resizing the NTFS
Stanley00: thanks
ActionParsnip: i salute your effort and success good sir :)
daftykins: you'll get one at some point?
:)
lmao
ActionParsnip: once i hear WUBI i tend to imagine hanging myself in my mind
then i do the IRC equivalent of hide
quick question. im on 12.10. How do I access my laptop specs section? Like processor speed and ram available etc etc similar to right clicking and properties on windows
newzi: not sure why you referred to me there
I'm trying to compile kdevplatform but it's giving me an error: QWebView: No such file or directory
daftykins: Sorry wrong button
Quick question. I was upgrading to 12.04 on my laptop (dual boots win7) and I had to shut it down during the unpacking stage. When I go into Ubuntu now a lot of stuff is messed up, but I think I can still get to a terminal via a keyboard shortcut. I can also get to the recovery mode in GRUB. What's the best way to go about fixing this?
is there a particular desktop that's above and beyond these days? I have a few options; edubuntu, ubuntu desktop, xubuntu, kubuntu...
plustax: you can get a bit with a program called lshw-gtk
daftykins: not everyone understands 'create a partition'
daftykins, theres no other way to check whats in my computer natively?
Can someone help me? I have this Audio card inside an ubuntu 12.10 desktop. The audio doesn't work and on random boots when it does it only comes out the right stereo side - no this is not a simple "is your audio mute" problem
almoxarife: that's probably why the installer just has an automagic option
the card is http://pastebin.com/Hm79Jync
oh, and lubuntu
plustax: that program kinda is native once it's installed via APT ;) there's an 'about ubuntu' one that says processor + RAM too. what are you *actually* wanting to know?
kriskropd: what is the output of: wget -O alsa-info.sh http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh && chmod +x ./alsa-info.sh && ./alsa-info.sh --upload
red_raven: try using APT to install 'ubuntu-desktop' that should finish the install off by pulling from network, possibly
I have the problm before,My case is I uninstalled the alsa driver,but after reinstall it works
ActionParsnip: http://pastebin.com/EYthMYPM
daftykins: in terminal, first install a small utility, 'sudo apt-get install alsa-mixer' , then run the util, 'alsamixer' , and look for anything showing 'mm', that would be 'mute' , you want to un-mute the 'outputs' see if that helps
hello.. I need a DNS - Bind expert. I'm trying to setup a slave DNS server using Bind9. I have been unsuccessful in getting this to work. Any guidance would greatly appreciated.
almoxarife: tab complete fail? :)
Daftykins: thx, I'll try it when I get time.
red_raven: np, easiest might be to nuke and reinstall though :S
daftykins: what?
daftykins: got it
I was thinking that to, but I need to be careful with my HDD b/c win7 is there to and I need it... A lot.
hello.. I need a DNS - Bind expert. I'm trying to setup a slave DNS server using Bind9. I have been unsuccessful in getting this to work. Any guidance would greatly appreciated.
digadvan: it's pretty simple to get a basic config going. google some guides?
daftykins: that simple?
I did google some guides. do the zone files get automatically replicated to slave server?
Ubotto: not sure what that does. It sounds like you're talking about a server.
digadvan: there is a channel dedicated to bind on freenode, #bind
thanks
Anyone have an opinion on the best iPod software on Ubuntu?
i didnt find bind simple at all, bind lingo is pretty intimidating

hey all, I have my SPDIF OUT channel connected to my stereo system.  Why is it that when my stereo is muted, the SPDIF channel automatically gets muted after a while?  It didn't used to do this (I am on Ubuntu 12.10, and this started after I upgraded from 12.04)
can somebody ctcp me with version. ported a mix of code anh hw.
Can someone help me? I have this Audio card inside an ubuntu 12.10 desktop. The audio doesn't work and on random boots when it does it only comes out the right stereo side - no this is not a simple "is your audio mute" problem (hhttp://pastebin.com/Hm79Jync

can someone reccomend a free PCAnywhere program i can download for Ubuntu
that also has a windows port
ccc like vnc?
i want to remotely connecto my ubuntu box from a windows 7
ya, you could use vnc
ccc: VNS as randomuser15 says
*VNC
ccc there is vnc, rdp, and nx - take your pick
kriskropd:  Capabilities: <access denied> <-- from your paste, user is not allowed access to it?
hi i am trying to rest my password i type passwd and it asks twice for password and i get error -passwd: authenication token manipilation error
can anyone help
almoxarife: how would i make sure user can access it?
ccc: 'teamviewer'
crimsonmane_ been super helpful
do you mean TightVNC?
ccc that would work 2
rocky: did you run 'sudo passwd username' ?
actionparsnip, do pipes go after and before grep??
i am at root@ubuntu
but i do not remember my root passwored
kriskropd: that output was from what command?
rocky: how? ubuntu has root disabled
sudo su?
almoxarife: lspci -v, i can run it again as super user
kriskropd: i am going to run it on this end, let me see if user gets the same result
almoxarife: there is also this mess of my setup if you want it http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=5ecc85b72f9d7c71ca07f4be44f0563be5a39b59
almoxarife: Capabilities: [80] Power Management version 1
i trying reset password
what is the keyboard shortcut to pen a terminal
kriskropd: same response here, nevermind my comment
rocky reboot and goto recovery mode.
ccc ctrl+Alt+t
almoxarife: its oaky, it may be worth knowing
okay*
rocky from there pick root terminal?? or root shell?
hello. Newb here. How does this all work?
im at root@ubuntu
kriskropd: you have two audio cards?
rocky what happens when you passwd root?
i type passwd and it asks enter new UNix password
rocky: seting a root password isn't required or supported
rocky: just use the user you setup at install and use sudo, you'll have an easier time
well i do know how to change permissions as i forgot my root password
rocky: there isn't one
k will try
rocky: the account is disabled in a default install too
rocky did you set a password for root?
almoxarife: three technically, the mobo embeeded one burnt out or something awhile back, the ati 5700 hd radeon video card has hdmi out, and then i have that VIA pci sound card thats worked fine in windows and occasionally (very randomly) in linux
rocky: the sooner you forget root, the easier you will find tings
:)
k i rebootin the comp
rocky wh4t ver of MS u on

do you guys now an alternate link for this sudo apt-get install tightvncserver
it wont work
vnc is already installed.
ccc: do you have the universe repo enabled?
what package do I need to install to get windows file sharing working?
no
im running a fresh install
blocky: install samba
blocky samba
ccc: then that's why
its already installed
how do i run it
blocky: then use nautilus to share folders
ccc: use software centre
is there a way to tell who admin is
oh hmm i think it is working
im not seeing any files because nautilus mounts ntfs filesystems as root by default, doesn't it
hi
rocky: sudo cat /etc/group | grep sudo
kriskropd: install 'pavucontrol' run it, it allows for mutiple card control, thats how i used to manage the HTC with multiple cards
blocky: oh, sharing ntfs via samba gets messy
whats the best way to share it?
not sharing NTFS first off.
blocky: share via 'sftp'
this is for streaming media
blocky: you can add the NTFS in /etc/fstab and set different mount options, may help
almoxarife: this is so weird, im playing a file in vlc with pavucontrol open, and its showing the meter under my sound card moving, its detecting audio output but its not outputting any audio :(
almoxarife that would require install ssh in windows :(
randomuser15: and?
kriskropd: is the system a laptop?
almoxarife: I'm trying to stream hd video to xbmc
ActionParsnip: no, it's a custom built machine circa 2009
kriskropd: using normal speakers?
dosent the 32 bit edition come with pea already activated?
kriskropd: if you run:  alsamixer    are all levels unmuted and cranked?
blocky: stream to xbmc? or from?
ActionParsnip: normal as in 2 stream stereo, sure
ActionParsnip: yes
Evil_Eric: yes I think so.
thanks
kriskropd: has it worked under Linux before?
almoxarife: to
blocky: use ntfs then
blocky: if you add the mount option:  uid=1000   it may help but sharing NTFS is very messy
ActionParsnip: it worked twice with both side outputting correctly, maybe a dozen times where only output would come through the right output on stereo, and then every other time: no
kriskropd: try:   killall pulseaudio; rm -r ~/.pulse*
kriskropd: wait 10 seconds and reboot
blocky: xbmc is on the ubuntu?
no, xbmc is windows
ive done that before but im fine with a reboot on the machine
content is on linux
blocky: setup a ntfs server on the linux?
to play videos?
blocky: to server vid to xbmc on the win
blocky: does the USB device get used in Windows systems?
hmm?
<-- Still working on wireless card wusb100 I just compiled my own driver rt2870.dat I think is the file or at least I ran make on the directory I got from a DLink site and I don't know what to do from here.
I am new
how do I get an app that is jammed up in the Ubuntu Software center progress button out
blocky: seems to me that of you had an instance of xbmc on the ubuntu set to serve via upnp, then you could get same result, on the win side you would be looking for a upnp server
ccc_: You mean stop the software center from finishing a job?
i was installing wine and it got stuck on applyung changes
I lost my Pidgin internet messenger , how do I find it?
the install bar is stuck half way
edoedo: sudo apt-get install pidgin
What is sudo?
kay ive rebooted the machine, right now its doing the "only right side works" thing
ccc_: Maybe try from terminal?
almoxarife: ActionParsnip  ^^
I am new to Ubuntu and it seems doing better than windows 7
edoedo: It's a command to run in the terminal, it gives you root priveleges for a particular job.
edoedo: depends on needs ;)
kriskropd: could it be hardware related? tried using earbuds?
almoxarife: ActionParsnip  actually it smore like the left side is incredibly faint compared to the right
Happy Thanksgiving everybody
almoxarife: actually i was curious of that, just now i tried a different set of headphones and its the same results
edoedo: if you ALT+TAB do you get it?
I found it , yay!!!
Thanks folks!
How do you find cool channels and such?
timbishjr: this one not cool enough?
timbishjr type this /list
almoxarife: ActionParsnip weird, if i turn off stereo volume lock and individually adjust the stereo volumes, turning up the left volume just raises the right stereo volume
this /list
:D I guess I'm just looking for someone to walk me through this process. I'm not sure what all the terminology and such means.
?
kriskropd: you set to mono somehow?
Can you tell me what should I learn or how should I learn more from Ubuntu?
almoxarife: i think thats what its doing, but its monoing to the right side and not spreading it to both output channels, or very very incredibly faintly to the left
so how do you find chat rooms based around, say, Glee or other such interests?
edoedo: I'd just use th OS for now, get used to it a little
timbishjr: the alis command helps
 also, rebooting, i think i managed to crash pule audio somehow O.o
pulse*
timbishjr: this is not the place to ask
what is the place>
timbishjr: no idea
To ActionParsnip: where can I learn more LInux words like ... gurb , glee or something that I have never seen it before.
alrighty then
timbishjr: Google ;D
glee :)
edoedo: maybe in #glee
i am old, i can tell
edoedo: not aware of any glee channels
Okayh
I mean okay
One more thing....
almoxarife: i'm the same. my girlfriend watches it
edoedo: sup?
I have hard time to connect or join Puppy Linux .... when reboot it then it won't do more when I returned it. Why is that?
edoedo: if you connect to irc.geekshed.net:6667 there is #glee there
edoedo: type:   /join #puppylinux     and you will join the channel
ActionParsnip: do you mean when I reboot then type it ?
edoedo: no need to reboot
Okay Where do Go to /join #pupplylinux
edoedo: where you just typed that, type the join command
msg list
wow
Thanks , ActionParsnip
almoxarife: ActionParsnip so i rebooted it again, and his time it doesnt pavucontrol doesnt even see my via sound card, it's replace it with "dummy"
I think they are closed
I will have to come back another time.
kriskropd: can you bypass audio output devices via bios?
almoxarife: maybe, ill see about that
saludos todos los ubunteros
almoxarife: there is an option to re-assign pci1 and pci2 IRQ, but nothing directly about audio device priority :(
almoxarife: hm, im concerned about why its calling it a "dummy output" now :( i hope the sound card didn't JUST die
lspci -v still sees the card, but pavucontrol does not
http://192.168.2.3:8080/HiWellcome
when i open fstab in nano it says converted from mac format
why?
So I have this issue with my wireless nic, every time I download anything big it freezes up on me. Anyone?
almoxarife: yeah, it snot showing up at all in any gui sound control anymore, not even alsamixer, i think the card just died - which might explain the odd behavior but not why it died)
zoneout83: what wifi chip is it?
hello, Im trying to change my log in password on ubuntu 10.04, i went into about me in system..trying to change it, but when i hit apply it freezes and doesnt change anymore.. any other ideas please?

dooma09: Hi, http://192.168.2.3:8080/HiWellcome
ActionParsnip, up
almoxarife: i now its back -_- no audio though - this is what bothers me about linux, inconsistent drivers
modprobe -l
oops
gilles: can you run 'sudo passwd username' and change the password that way?
gn
kriskropd: the exact command please?
giles that is the exact command, replace username with the actual name of the account you are trying to change. ex. 'sudo passwd kriskropd'
gilles: *
i think i got it
how do I tell what version of fglrx I have installed? and once I know, how would I go from there to the experimental drivers that steam needs to run?
zoneout83: are you in Europe?
lahwran: has someone set the drivers up on a ppa?
almoxarife: I don't know, which is why I'm asking
google is bringing up news sites
ActionParsnip, No I'm in the US, Ohio, near toledo if your interested
lahwran: so you would like to have someome research that for you?
zoneout83: not finding any module options
zoneout83: Does it use rt2870sta module?
I'd like someone who has already done it to share their existing findings with me, or I'd like someone who hasn't done it to help me do it since as I just said my attempt did not go as planned
I found a driver for an rt2870 but I'm not sure what to do with it
looks like it
why would my files be in mac format on my server?
its a brand new install of 12.04 server
I have gotten as far as downloading the firmware and making the driver
but make install seems to toss some errors? mayhap I shouldn't be doing make install
lahwran: i am willing to help, you google it though, tag the drivers to a ppa and give me the link
ActionParsnip, sorry i keep forgetting to put your name in my replies I have 3 up
almoxarife: haha, so it turns out my card IS in fact producing audio when ive said it wasn't producing output, its just so incredibly low that i've max amplified the sound on alsamixer and boosted the output with a guitar amplifier XD
kriskropd: give it up, the card or worse is trashed
boosted via guitar amp :)
ActionParsnip, did you see where I posted I have the problem of when I download stuff watch youtube or even try to update (which I did tediously) I get disconnected unless when it hangs i disconnect then reconnect?
almoxarife: yeah, i think its dieing, idk why ubuntu did it but this is what i imagine an IC dieing would be like
ActionParsnip, right now it has the rt2800 driver in
ActionParsnip, not sure where I got that info anymore though
kriskropd: i dont think linux killed kenny
hello
LOL @ almoxarife
almoxarife: maybe not, but it was alone in the forest with it when it happened
kriskropd: :)
kriskropd: you got a win install disk? xp?
zoneout83: let me have a sniff around
almoxarife: somewhere around here probably, id need to make a new partition to install it tho
zoneout83: did you blacklist rt2800pci ?
kriskropd: i was thinking more along the lines of vbox, but i dont know that sound would be created by the card, so nevermind that
zoneout83: actually try this
zoneout83: echo "options rt2800usb nohwcrypt=1" | sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/rt2800usb.conf > /dev/null
zoneout83: reboot to test
almoxarife: so it looks like I have fglrx-updates installed, but I'm supposed to install fglrx-experimental-something
almoxarife: I don't see that when I apt-cache search fglrx
almoxarife: ive already got at least 1 winxp and 1 win7 vbox, but idk how i would directly control the pci audio card through vbox
ActionParsnip, I still her I was trying something I found.. let me show you see what you think
lahwran: where would the 'experimental' come from?
almoxarife: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Valve
http://en.gentoo-wiki.com/wiki/Ralink_RT2870
lahwran: In 12.04, launch the Additional Hardware Drivers dialog from System Settings. In 12.10, launch Software Properties, then click on the Additional Drivers tab in the Software Sources menu. <-- did you follow those directions?
almoxarife: im actually giving up for now, thanks for your help though
almoxarife: I did, and I only see fglrx and fglrx-updates
almoxarife: i'll probably try a dual boot windows and play with it a lil more, but my priority plan is to buy a new sound card
ActionParsnip, what do I do to fix it if it doesn't work I'm on the said computer and this is my only connection right now lol
lahwran: Download the Steam Client. <-- did you do that part? it may be in the package?
how can I set Environment variables automatically?
almoxarife: do you intend to be helpful with this, or are you just going to insult me?
zoneout83: then delete the file the command makes and re-reboot
lahwran: the first, the latter insults me too
FRodrigues: you can set them in ~/.bashrc
lahwran: i dont know jack about steam or ati drivers, so its a matter of finding the 'experimental' drivers
ActionParsnip, in the end?
almoxarife: okay, look, this is what I did: I installed fglrx-updates, then downloaded steam and tf2. I tried to run it and it complained about the driver missing extensions. I happen to have already read about there being an experimental driver, so I assumed that the problem was that I need said experimental driver. however, I don't see it in the repos, despiet that the wiki page claims it should be in the 12.04 default repos
ActionParsnip, I'm somewhat new which file the conf or the dev/null
ActionParsnip, new to linux that is
guess I'll be back worse case I have to go to a friends or move my entire compute to my bedroom next to my router until I fix it lol
Hello, I have a question
edoedo, usually that's anoying just ask your question lol
Whatever I put the program on it then how can I clean up my history?
almoxarife: found it, it was in the partner repo
SOrry zoneout83
zoneout83: delete /etc/modprobe.d/rt2800usb.conf he means
lol
DaemonicApathy, thanks, and edoedo I'm not an op but it's in the rules somewhere
lahwran: :)
edoedo: do you mean your web browsing history or file browsing history or... ?
Yes, Kriskropd
browsing
Evening everyone, and Happy Thanksgiving to my fellow Americans.  I'm sure this is an easy one, but I can't figure out the right words to get an answer from Google.  On Ubuntu 12.04, how do I make it so that when I insert a video CD, it launches handbrake instead of movie player?
edoedo: edoedo in your web browser, hit these keys "ctrl+alt+del" and it will bring up your janitorial options
edoedo: im sry, ctrl+shift+del
dont hit ctrl+Alt+Delt :)
kriskropd: bad man
redlance: System Settings > Details > Removable Media
honest mistake, im tired >_<
Thanks
DaemonicApathy, Thanks!
Any time, redlance.
I botched an update and a lot of things are skewed up. How do I open terminal from within nautilus? I'm just looking for its executable so I can run apt-get install Ubuntu desktop and retry the update that way.
red_raven: Ctrl+Alt+T no longer works?
red_raven: if that hotkey doesn't work, you can hit alt+f2 and type either 'gnome-terminal' or if you lack that program type 'xterm'
Okay after I done my ctrl+shift+del then what?
What is Alt+F2 by default?
Unfortunately not. Things are really screwed up. Even the graphics for the login screen were pretty.....wrong.
red_raven: just press CTRL+ALT+T and you get a terminal
edoedo: it should bring up a lil menu box with options to clean your history and cache and cookies or bookmarks and etc, select which ones you want to remove
red_raven: create an executable text file that says "gnome-terminal" without quotes, if nothing else works.
If I hit ... ctrl+shift+del then all the history is gone, correct?
DaemonicApathy: ALT+F2 opens dialogue similar to the the run dialogue in windows
ActionParsnip: I think that only works in unity and gnome
edoedo: in web browsers, yes
ActionParsnip: the hotkey i meant
kriskropd: which shortcut?
Ah, right...Unity...>_>
just at one a time then it gone for good?
What do I put as the file type?
is there some program that allow me to do simple things like copy or open with sudo in nautillus?
edoedo: yes it wil clean what you say
Alt f2 isn't working.
Okay one more --- where can I learn all the information about all those stuff like ctrl or del or alt or much more?
edoedo: some borwsers offer you to select how far back to erase, you can select everything or just the last hour or whatever
no just run a terminal and sudo nautilus
FRodrigues: you can use nautilus scripts for that
Okay
Th3Pun15h3r: gksudo for GUI apps
red_raven: Right click, new text file, open, type "gnome-terminal" without quotes, right click, properties, permissions, execute as program checked, close properties, double click on file, run
what about whole day?
edoedo: ehm, i learn my hotkeys slowly over a lot of time... i suppose you can google "hotkeys for 'program name'"
edoedo: some browsers (like chrome/ium) have lengths of time you can delete)
guys how can I stop lightdm during graphical install
edoedo: if you hit ctrl+shift+del you will see all your options, it variesa ccording to browsers
red_raven: I forgot "save and close" between typing gnome-terminal and right clicking.
varies*
FRodrigues: just run:  gksudo nautilus    and you'll be ok
i do "service lightdm stop" but it says already stopped, yet if I do ctrl-F7 lightDM is still running
Okay thanks
ok
Alt-F7 even
edoedo: kriskropd, then there is 'bleachbit' , does it all without all the guessing work
ActionParsnip, ok thanks again!
FRodrigues: keeps its use to a minimum :)
of course
red_raven: can you hit ctrl+alt+f2 ? that will send you to a runtime level, you can log in through here and run you upgrade like this if worse comes to worse
bleachbit?
edoedo: its a temp file cleaner, like ccleaner in windows
edoedo: yes, a package that can be installed
edoedo: its an application available in aptitude
Oh okay
edoedo: use it carefully, you may remove settings you want and avoid settings that say it will take a long time
*ubotto fails me*
kriskropd: you can make factoids if you wishj
Okay, I am learning
kriskropd: it knows you killed the card
:(
the more I play with it the more I learn
brb
ah, ty DaemonicApathy , wrong syntax
np
kriskropd: you can suggest factoids and if they are deemed good, they will be add to ubottu's brain and she will reply with your text
You can also message ubottu in private, to avoid spamming chat rooms too much.

hi, need some help here. Why is it that i don't have /var/log/messages, user.log debug and other importan logs. I'm using 12.04?how do i fix this ? do i just create a file?
bots?
almoxarife: That's new to me, thanks. :-)

hi, need some help here. Why is it that i don't have /var/log/messages, user.log debug and other importan logs. I'm using 12.04?how do i fix this ? do i just create a file?
ice799: messages=syslog in ubuntu
lcabreza2:try /var/log/syslog
lotuspsychje: i have that ? did they rename it to that instead of messages ?
lcabreza2:all important logs are mostly in syslog..what excactly you want to find?
lcabreza2: no, its not renamed, its been syslog, opensuse uses 'messages' for one
almoxarife: RHEL uses /var/log/messages to though, so its probably more common than syslog
lcabreza2: try a colortail -f /var.log/syslog for logs in realtime
/var/log
handy little package
kriskropd: i would say the more common is the more used, what you want to bet that there are more ubuntu users these days than ?????
almoxarife: lol thats my argument to the RHEL preachers
hey anybody have permanent disk io?
I've got jdb2 writing every couple seconds..
that's terrible
Ok I was able to make a text file but the terminal window is black so I can't see what I'm doing. It looks like I can open a text file as a terminal command instead of an executable. What command should I use exactly?
but RHEL is where the certs and professors teachnig nix are at, so you have more scholarly admins that think its /var/log/messages
I don't find actual bug for this issue, I mean I found alot of threads with this problem but no solution...
almoxarife: users or systems ;)
almoxarife|lotuspsychje : http://pastebin.houston.hp.com/pastebin.php?show=13499 this is what i use to have
kriskropd: you can be ubuntu certified....
ActionParsnip: users i would say, but then it takes a sys to have a user
))
kriskropd: you need LPI 101 and 102 first, but it is a thing
ActionParsnip: i know you can, but im always seeing RHEL certs in the job descriptions, not ubuntu :/
Sorry, the command I need is the one that will upgrade ubuntu to 12.04 therefore overwriting the current messed up version.
almoxarife: true but few admins work on many many servers
lotuspsychje: so what? I used it to understand whos writing...
I'd like to know how to fix that
kriskropd: both are good certs to have if you want to manage Linux boxes
no doubt :) ubuntu is the direction its all going afterall
kriskropd: the differences are subtle but need accommodating :)
ActionParsnip: my point is that syslogs have more audience now, well, they have machines they are running on, not sure the audience has caught on
kriskropd: Wikipedia uses it on its servers
i tell all the RHEL students to learn ubuntu server in their spare time
kriskropd: why not both, or all 3 :D
almoxarife: I'd run a syslog server and have all servers log to that
kriskropd: when you learn to convinient on a debian enviroment ..you will never look back on RHEL ..
almoxarife: or a few, for redundancy
ActionParsnip:tnx again for feedindicator, working flawless rss spams to my desktop :p
lotuspsychje: glad you like :)
lotuspsychje: I've got problem with my disk io, ext4 journal writing something to disk every 3-5 seconds
lotuspsychje: I'm using kubuntu 12.10
swex:ok, many google pages shows this problem holdon
lotuspsychje: I know, I asked google before write here))
swex:can you tell us what HD brand (sata? raid? etc)
lotuspsychje: but I didn't find any solution
swex: are there bugs reported?
swex jbd2? i see it too, writing every couple seconds
ActionParsnip: I found bug like that, more than 100 people affected, but no solution
and ubuntu version was 10.04
swex:what hd brand pls
lotuspsychje: Model Family:     Seagate Barracuda 7200.11 Device Model:     ST3750330AS
tnx
I'll using the "fix broken packages" option in recovery mode revert a botched upgrade to its original state?
*will. Stupid autocorrect.
lotuspsychje: how can it help? thats file system problem
red_raven: there is a command list in the ubuntu docs
lotuspsychje: there is nothing about HDD brand in that problem
what?
What is gedit stand for?
* almoxarife see's writes every 3-5 seconds too, bet they would disappear if i disconnected from irc, better yet the whole of the internet
edoedo: gnome-edit
You mean same as notebook, ActionParsnip?
edoedo: or could be gnu-edit
edoedo: gnome editor
* ActionParsnip prefers leafpad
leafpad , thanks brb

swex:im reading stuff about those drives best run on RAID, did you try installing ubuntu on another drive?
lotuspsychje: no I didn't but partition I have problem is my /home/ not /..

Guys: Do you know how to swich to a different desktop environment in ubntu 12:10?
swex:can you tell us how your hd is connected? sata, raid?
lotuspsychje: thx for advice and share my problem
rocsteady:install another one
I did
lotuspsychje: just plain sata
It used to be that you could then choose your de when you logged in
rocsteady:wich one?
When I was running 12.04
rocsteady: you still can select your DE from the lightdm in 12.10
xfce4
rocsteady: its the lil icon in top right of the box you put your password in
I don't want to bother my bf cause he's installing gentoo which is a lot harder than changing your de lol
Basically, I'm changing it cause I'm creating linux containers and my uptime went up really high
& so I'm thinking it is cause I'm running both unity and firefox with tons of tabs open from googling around a lot
okay let me log out and try again ty
swex:plz ask your question in ##hardware alot of interesting opinions
in 10.04 my skydome and the top part of the cube doesnt show png's
rocsteady: if you only installed 'xfce4' you'll find some stuff is missing probably, apt-get 'xubuntu-desktop' for the bigger package with xfce applications and such
compiz---
swex:you have bios set to IDE or AHCI?
how do you put music on an ipod?
im seeing it tell me to just drag and drop in the music player and thats not working
hmm
XRS1:note sure if its still used, but i managed to drag n drop to ipad with this http://www.libimobiledevice.org/
XRS1: not the most friendly device...depends on what ubuntu version and iOS version are you using
libimobiledevice3 is already the latest versioon  (Ubuntu Studio 12.10 & iPod Nano 6th Gen)
XRS1:what music player are you using?
tried gtkpod and rhythmbox (maybe im just doing it wrong?)
XRS1:did you try this package?
yes
XRS1:maybe banshee can handle it?
my favorite part of linux, an app for every function
gtkpod and rhythmbox see the ipod and browse inside it just fine. got the music erased off it. now i just cant figure out how to put new music on
fspkwon: and even better, learning new cool packages every day :p
see if rockbox will work if its an old ipod
its too new for rockbox
and- random water spill downs =p love compiz
i kiid you not , my water plugin RANDOMLY triggers and lines its way down the screen
i don't think compiz is good
then goes away =p
its nice for me, i get my desktops looking pretty
bits and peices are fine
especially with the window decorations and reflection
i have a red shadowy border with the reflection turned on
looks nice =p , ubuntu gets me on wifi here so its good
even better im using a iw2200bg which is shit anyway
hey i have a question... how do you setup your email that i have from ubuntu.com?
seriously... what can the ' command' do for me?

What can the 'command' do for you?
swex:are you sure your sata cables connected correclty?
edoedo: how do you mean?
okay the directions were wrong. gtkpod is working
lotuspsychje: no :) but who does?
You know like a blackboard to write it down what is this for ?

Hi.  I'm trying to get printing from one Ubuntu box to another, and it seems to be blocked due to authentication.  It sees the printer but when I try to test print it asks for name/password, which I've given it.  I already set the printer up in CUPS and told it my user can print, and I used lpadmin -u allow:all, but it still prompts for username and password and won't print.  It prints fine from the machine the printer 
the commandline will help you fix thing that are broken when you install new apps or update or fuck something up
=p im an asshole
other than that its used for everything too
or in my case, break things
OKay , what does it do ...?
fspkwon: Please keep the language clean in here.
oh sorry,
basically it runs programs
dj_segfault:did you try to print from that http cups page?
Sorry ubottu I didn't mean to belittle you
On the machine with the printer?  Yes.
Oh boy I am not using this
BUt I can made it
Hello
what is !bash stand for?
dj_segfault:try the http cups page from the box you want to print send to the other box
lotuspsychje: All apps print fine on the computer the printer is hooked up to
 !bash is a command to make the bot give help on bash to certain user, edoedo
erm.. whoops.
pls forgive me if you don't understand my grammar because I am Deaf
lotuspsychje: You mean localhost:631 on the machine without the printer?
I think I found a bug in wikipedia, anyone willing to investigate it with me?
well bash is the text console your using when you run apps that are text based
dj_segfault:yes
OKay
think of it as ,,, an os inside of an os
dj_segfault:did you setup samba aswell?
Hello, I'm having this weird issue in Ubuntu where beeps won't work even after I've loaded the module pcspkr. The strange this is that if I open pavucontrol or pavumeter the beeps will work ~5 seconds after I've closed it.

yes everybody destroy shark!

lotuspsychje: When I try printing from cups on the second machine it still asks me for name/password and won't print
edoedo, the terminal can be used to do everything you do in your graphical enviroment (copy, paste, move, delete files,execute programs, update/install software) but instead of point and click, you type in the command manually. there are also SEVERAL other commands that only work in/through the terminal
dj_segfault:did you setup samba? (both machines have ubuntu on?)
samba?
lotuspsychje: Yes both machines are Ubuntu.  No I didn
didn't set up SAMBA, because I didn't think it was needed for this
well then it is not a big deal
ask that person who setup to remove it
dj_segfault:what printer model?
edoedo, once you get used to the terminal, its not as scary as it looks... but it is powerful, and it assumes you know what you are doing... (unforgiving in some cases if you make a mistake)
lotuspsychje: I thought printing through CUPS was a completely separate protocol.  It's a Samsumg ML-2010 laser printer
maybe some info on there
lotuspsychje: OK.  But like I said the printer prints fine from the machine it's on.
dj_segfault:are you root when trying to print to the other box?
dj_segfault:seems like theres samsung software available too
lotuspsychje: No I'm not root at the time
kriskropd: Makes sense. When I first opened up terminal in xfce4,the commands I was typing in didn't show up.
I discovered that there is a bug filed on launchpad for it. I had to disable use colors from system theme.
dj_segfault:try as root

hi
Need some help: 4 drive RAID-5... installed some updates today, after reboot it says I have a degraded array.  mdadm -D /dev/md0 lists one of my drives being "removed".  I checked all cables, OK.  I'm not sure what happened..... any ideas?
Is there a way to create a per-user /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/typo?
Intel board 856perl mobo p4 2.7 Ghz cpu supports hyperthreading. ubuntu installation freezes in the splash screen. Can't even install it.  Machine runs xp pro normally. How do i trouble shoot this ubuntu install splash screen freeze?
SMART status says that two of my drives (including the one that is showing "removed") has bad sectors
after upgrading to 12.04 Firefox no longer has a logo in the launcher
why is that?
instead of a Firefox logo it has a gray box with a question mark on it
mine too
the new version does not appear logos
it's fine
as long as the software can still work
ah good good
so it's a Firefox thing, to be fixed in a future Firefox update?
causative: guessing that the path to the icon file has changed.
causative: That means it got installed into a different directory.  Sometimes rebooting fixes that, but you can also edit the menu option and find the new location.  It often has the version number in it
how do I edit the menu option?
dj_segfault:did you try to rightmouse printer icon/properties and share printer?
redeyyez, maybe a live cd
redeyyez, are you dual booting?
lotuspsychje: I'm actually running kubuntu so that might be a little different.  But I can *see* the printer from the second computer so it must be shared.
Sorry for asking again. Is there a way to create a per-user /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/typo?
lotuspsychje: Just re-verified the printer is shared in the printer setting
dj_segfault:odd indeed you cant print, maybe try gksudo your browser and try the cups page?
does your cups prompt you to login?
Guest8983:yes it does for him
lotuspsychje: Is it OK to run a scan on bad sectors on a raid disk... or at least one that is removed from the array ... and when done, add it back into the array?  Will it be a different size after the bad sectors have been marked so that it won't fit back into the array?
lotuspsychje: Why would who I'm running as on Machine 2 matter?  Besides it's prompting me for a username and password.
Pad22: testdisk is to verify your had, it wont affect your array

i donnot think you need bucle for this
just installed ubuntu 12.10 on an old computer, new drive. seems to be graphics issue which it had with Karmic but it's unusable now. how should i sought this out? It was suggested that this has something to do with nividia?
jud:try lubuntu or xubuntu
lotuspsychje: Ok, thanks, why those?
jud:12.10 might be little too heavy for your old grafix card perhaps
after upgrade, for certain the manes of certain commmands will change
jud:did you try clean install 12.10?
try formatting the computer and install the OS again
lotuspsychje: clean yep, wiped what was on there.
how do I write the output of a command into a text file?
sup all
Rootyfault, hiya
nicekiwi, command > textfile
rumpe1, chur
could be a fault in the keying in of commands in LXTerminal
how can one add modules to update-initramfs now?
rumpe1, that created an empty document
nicekiwi, ... with the output of "command"
nicekiwi, try "ls > textfile"
rumpe1, that worked
lotuspsychje: so, would it be worth a punt on a new graphics card maybe? Thing is, the computer was new when I put Karmic on it and it had graphics problems then too, just not as bad.
nicekiwi, both worked
rumpe1, they did not
nicekiwi, the file got created -> it worked
nicekiwi, question is if it's just the output (and which maybe)
rumpe1, well put it this way. the file was created yet, but all the crap that spilled out into the terminal after the command was run did not make it into the file
nicekiwi, which command exactly?
rumpe1, strace
the commands involving root, including sudo
rumpe1, "strace steam > output.txt"
OK, lubuntu or xubuntu?
nicekiwi what do you mean by that?
nicekiwi, that seems to put the output of "steam" not "strace .." into the file
Guest8983, talking to someone
oooh
rumpe1, ah.. ok :/
nicekiwi, probably because strace works more in the background.. no idea. maybe check "man strace"

tripelb the problem can be with the wifi router installed on your pc
tripelb it can also be with the network card
router on my PC??? Does not compute. It's the same PC. I booted from a live CD.
It's the same PC. It's the same network card.
Ubuntu does see the other WiFi hot spots in the neighborhood
rumpe1, hmm.. kk
rumpe1, strace -o <out_file> <prog_name> did the trick. Thanks :)
I take  that back. it does not see as many as sox.  no twcable (hotspotname). But this 1 is right next to the computer in my hand.
what brand is the computer?
I tried text to hidden network. That didn't work either.

what's the short cut for addressing people again?
Jud, also you wont get the right res on boot (its an X driver, but not fb driver)
tryusing the recovery disk (if possible), format the whole pc and re-install the OS again
TT
It was a new Hard drive

Why is the answer re-install?
ooh the children are here!
kj4 now what?
HW CAN I CONNECT MY YAHOO MESSENGER
hrm, capslock /= cruise control for cool
reason I'm doing Ubuntu is that I can't get SASL on a Mac with Snow Leopard
It's just for dad to surf the net so I'll give lubuntu a whirl
I keep getting import errors with Rhythmbox when using smb share as library... they are timeouts.
it times out, then forgets about it until the next app start.
just thought that if nvidia had anything to do with it i might still have the same problem...??
" thanks for the help". What I want to do is get freenode from my Mac using the phone hotspot. Is that so difficult?
well I keep coming back presidential it works. I suppose I must go to sleep now.

tripleb, if your system sees the rest of the neighborhood
and not your phone, your phone may not be broadcasting a ssid
tripelb go use the ifconfig or netstat command to check your connections
Anyone know of a good writeup for using iPhone with Ubuntu? I know Amorak does/did support it, but not sure of any upgrade implications, etc.
in which case you either need to change setings on your phone or, manually set your wireless network on ubuntu
Jieirn maybe the wifi router does not have an SSID programmed on it yet
s/ presidential/something else.  voice input shrug.    OK let me read your suggestion/school
Jieirn it is only when your network is not available in the list of visible networks
Hello i need a software for pdf documents to add one pdf doc to another and to move pages on it
I can't fathom unity can I switch to GNOME do I get a terminal which way is up
Guest8983 you dont have to broadcast a ssid ever. its better if you dont actually, keeps people from seeing your wireless router or in his case, phone hotspot
GOT ONE
tripelb unfortunately unity = GNOME 3
tripelb, control+alt+t or SuperKey+ type "terminal"
well it is true, but then the problem is that nobody will know that you actualy have a wirless network
das is the point guest
but if he can see the networks around him and not his phone then his phone isnt broadcasting an id to see
Unity isn't bad. Seems great, actually. Not crazy about the gmail integration thing, prefer Thunderbird is all.
and if you think Unity takes getting used to, go install Windows 8
Now, how about adding modules to that update-initramfs? i really need it to load specific modules
vucic1960: PDF Editor might work for you.
windows 8 is a tablet gui on a desktop... that sucks
I don't see where ifconfig would help me. I don't understand. ( yes I looked at info is Tim said ) I don't know the exact meaning of interface. And I see nothing useful and what it takes place. Can you help me understand it. Or understand what I want from it.
yes I did look at info ifconfig
@DaemonicApathy i just check pdf editor dont see a function to import an pdf doc
I'm pretty much the same thing for netstat. I know I'm not connected to 1. Why should I bother looking at when I'm connected too. I'm getting what I expect.
I'm chasing my own tail. I need to sleep thank you very much
vucic1960: Apologies if I'm mistaken. I may be thinking of a plugin for a different program. :-/
I said love to you all and your mommys and your daddy is and your children on Thanksgiving day.
hi, is there any pdf viewer that run under tty or using curses-like library?
okay thanks DaemonicApathy will ask google :-)
There's a side bar in this ubuntu thingy that wiggles and jiggles if I'm in another desktop space and an application gets some notification.
How do I disable the annoying side bar slide out app wiggly-jiggy shit?
memetic, no cursing here
why?
i use ubuntu at work and at home
and even our server use it
hello
jyfl987, I doubt there's a ncurses style PDF reader, seems too graphic based to render like that. Could be wrong.
jyf he was messig with you
lol
matthewGA: i have a reason for that
matthewGA: our boss walk around on the room, but luckily he seems not like a technical guy
jyfl987 I don't doubt your desire/need/reason, I just don't think that an app like that would be very reliable.
jyfl987: You can convert the pdf to text and view that from the command line.
Odd-rationale: cant it be convert to html?
jyfl987: yeah, probably
i tried to do some customizing for the pdf viewer like trying to change the font color
wiggly jiggly.
but failed
jyfl987 you would like to convert PDF to HTML? Now I am curious as to why
Odd-rationale: which tool could help me ?
jyfl987: pdftohtml
matthewGA: because there is html viewer on tty
matthewGA: w3m
Odd-rationale: ok
ah, true. w3m, links, lynx, etc...
and there is only format change from pdf to html, but when you change from pdf to text, it lost many other data like color , position
They actually call this 'wiggle time'
So, there's no way to disable unity urgent animations?
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PowerUsers/Unity/Options
http://askubuntu.com/questions/138622/how-to-disable-all-unity-animations  memetic
memetic, use ccsm
Apparently you can tweak the wiggle setting using Compiz.
correct
That doesn't actually work, bazhang.
Frustrated beyond words. tried to setup my hd tv in Ubuntu 12.10 with Nvidia settings mangr. Now My monitor is blank at startup and Tv has no desktop on it.. Xorg.conf is screwed. Tried Recovery mode. The only option that will work is dropping in to root logon.. Im screwed right?
memetic, works here
You can use that URL you posted to set the wiggle to none?
Seems like on that page they recommend using compiz.
memetic, in ccsm,disable, yes
memtic, ccsm is compiz
compizconfig-settings-manager to be precise
Does Ubuntu support compiz?
yes of course memetic
Really?  I thought that Compiz was being dropped.
memetic, 12.04 is LTS.
http://www.ted.com/talks/rachel_botsman_the_case_for_collaborative_consumption.html
Everything after 10.04 in Ubuntu has been a huge pain.
oh and setfacl rocks.
ninp0, wrong channel
my bad
try #ubuntu-offtopic
I'm not trolling, I'm genuinely frustrated.
sounds good thx :)
so, while expanding a partition backwards, I managed to be dropped back to the GRUB rescue console, with the error "ELF header smaller than expected"
Like, I've tried to give Unity a fair shot but it's extremely frustrating to get it all working with Compiz.
memetic, everything is way too vague. narrow it down some
Unity and Compiz for example.
i do not have a serial port, though through "sudo setserial -g /dev/ttyS*" its showing /dev/ttyS0, UART: 16550A, Port: 0x03f8, IRQ: 4, what is the use and purpose of this ttyS0.
I have no idea how I got what I have now working.  My Nvidia card isn't supported or there are horrible problems when I try to use 3d desktop cube and (ctrl+alt+arrow keys), but that's more a problem with Nvidia but you wanted some specifics.
memetic, what "horrible problems"
I'm extremely frustrated with what I had to do with 12.04 to get Compiz to work with Unity, and when I go to ccsm or whatever to disable the wiggle for notifications in the Unity side bar there, I see Compiz doesn't even have Unity enabled.
/dev/ttyS0 is the first block device representative of a physical DB-9 port on your box
When you ctrl+alt+arrow key to move between desktops in 12.04 with some Nvidia cards it will lock the screen.
i.e. serial communications.
There are some bug reports about that, but again it's more a problem with Nvidia.
so, yeah.  what should I do to repair GRUB?
ninp0, i know its a character device for serial communication , but i do not have it on my motherboard , so i just want to know why this device is there.
possible you have an on-board serial breakout on your motherboard that may be used to push firmware to the motherboard's ICs during manufacture?
hi #ubuntu. does anybody know a working solution for "GPU has fallen off the bus" X freezes? persistence mode, as suggested in about every google hit, does not work. nouveau does not fit my needs.
So, if I were to go from 12.04 to 12.10, would my Nvidia 550 TI work?  Or would I be stuck at a command line.

Otend: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2/Installing#via_ChRoot
@aum__ if it's a laptop it may also be a built-in cellular wifi card
Otend: And hopefully you used a smart utility (like GParted) which left 1 MiB of unallocated space before the firt partition.
I indeed used gparted

Hello again found the right software for  split and merge pdf documents how can i compress the pdf document it has over 40 mb - because i need it for sending email as job application
Hey guys... I've got an installer application, and i'm trying to wrap the resulting installed files up into a debian package.  Are there any tools besides checkinstall (which seems to break this installer) that will help me do this?
name of software pdfsam
uname -r gives 3.5.0-18-generic can I install pae kernel?
vucic1960: pdfsam does work pretty well for split and merge, but I've never found anything that can compress a pdf as well as acrobat
force
glitch
ubuntu 12.10 internet connection is slow
how to retify
thx dougbb ... pdfmod works for compressing ?
vucic1960: dunno, never tried it
vucic1960: many tools that split and join pdfs has some kind of switch to also compress the end result.. check the man page for the tool you're using.. I've never been able to do much with just compressing the pdf, it's almost always better to try to minimize the size of images and such before even creating the pdf
okay thanks ... thought there is any software like adobe acrobat for Ubuntu..
i will try @Slart
vucic1960, oh my... yes
vucic1960, yes, acroread
its in the partner repo vucic1960
bazhang: acroread != acrobat
acroread != acrobat
I doubt acroread would help with compression, but it's worth a shot

Hey, can any of you guys know how to login as root in Ubuntu?
kutu, what are you trying to accomplish by doing that?
guys , has anyone here moved thier webcache to ram ? I've found a few different methods of doing it and I'm unsure which is correct
kutu, you dont
kutu, sudo su
kutu: root login isn't usually used in ubuntu.. sudo can do anything root related you need to do
g00053, thats not correct
kutu: sudo -i
<kutu> you have to enable the root acount to log into a gui (desktop) as root
bazhang, it's not THAT wrong...
binary_glitch, which is never necessary
g00053, dont recommend it here
it is advised against doing so
I would just use the termnal, and yes I have found a rare necessity to gui into root thank you very much
sudo -i then binary_glitch
I don't really want to login; I asked just because
I read it in a book
kutu: ok, then follow the advice given ... don't do that
su, sudo, sudo -i and gksudo did not work in that case.
anyone help me with installing java in backtrack
and couldn't login by giving username as root
or sudo
god_is_dead, try the backtrack support channel
whats the big deal anyway ?
thank you
#backtrack-linux god_is_dead
ok, well, so far vmware 9.0.1 seems to be working well, in case anyone cares :)
dougbb, they have a channel here on freenode as well, if you were interested
kutu just don't worry about it, it you want to expirment with it just to play, just know you'r likly to crash your system... but set it up in a persistant live usb and play like that or use virtual box... I can help you with either method, but that way you dont loose anything if you brake it.
#vmware iirc
zvacet: that's a great kind of problem to have :)
bazhang: thanks ... they tend to focus on more general topics, whereas "keeping up with the latest kernel fun" is more of a linux'y topic
guys, where can I found linux kernel's source code?
kutu: http://kernel.org
kernel.org
oh sorry
I mean in the "/" directory
zvacet: what is the output of uname -a
kutu: it isn't necessarily installed on your system
kutu are you trying to edityour kernel?
won't let me join channel #backtrack-linux
 dougbb:3.5.0-18-generic #29-Ubuntu SMP Fri Oct 19 10:27:31 UTC 2012 i686 athlon i686 GNU/Linux
no just wanna see it
karakedi: todoist kullanir misin?
the source isn't usual given in a direcroty, it's already compiled...lol
so sorry
oh well get it from http://kernel.org
zvacet: ok, then you should be good to go :)
zvacet: this page looks useful as well: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EnablingPAE
well is the Linux licence is given with the software
zvacet: if your cpu is 64 bit you might also consider installing the 64 bit version of ubuntu, that would eliminate your PAE concerns :)
kutu, ??
hi, is there a dual boot Android and Ubuntu solution for Nexus 7 currently? Google is giving me mixed results
kutu, thats not an ubuntu support issue
dougbb: ubuntu make changes in naming kernel I read it  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EnablingPAE
ok
I mean is the GNU Licence is given with Ubuntu
dougbb : I have pae everything is ok
kutu, lets take this chit chat to #ubuntu-offtopic
many linux licenses are given with the sofware verious packages on a given system, some are simply refered to, and you have to look them up... what specific software
ubuntu internet connection is slow
kutu, gpl was applied to software
kutu: sure, but the license only requires that you have access to the source, not that it is installed
blackshirt, ubuntu internet connection is slow how to retify
zvacet: aw c'mon, re-installing is fun :)
force_, what connection are you using?
"aw c'mon, re-installing is fun :)" right...lol
I just finished rearranging everything so that I could actually use the hardware raid card that came with this system .... fun fun fun!
dougbb: no it is not I reinstalled recently
I miss the days when you got to choose each and every individual package that was nstalled during instalation
zvacet: sorry, poor attempt at humor
I'm currently dual booting with win7[problem contd.]
binary_glitch: I use ubuntu on purpose so that I don't have to do that :)
although I keep finding things to delete, which is always fun
but after using linux for some time want to purely shift to it.[prb. contd.]]
kutu, thats not a problem .. Dual, trial,qual, or multi boot was great
aw, but don't you like dependency nightmares?
dougbb: try mini iso once and make it your custom ubuntu  ;)
kutu, what is the actual question. all on ONE line
ubottu,bazhang:got it
I have a lenovo ideapad 2470, isnt there a linux /ubuntu video driver for it?
blackgatonegro, whats the card
kutu: thewre is nothing wrong with dual booting take some time to get used to ubuntu and then make decision
kutu, it depends on what you're using windows for ... there are very good software packages that fulfill a lot of needs, and will allow you to use linux as  your primary desktop, but there are some things that only run in windows. If you need them, you have to boot windows, and that's ok ... use the right tool for the job
no clue, ubuntu does not find any private drivers for it....
there is also a bug with qhe sound controlers
Personally I'm trying to get a windows VM working well enough in linux so that I don't have to dual-boot anymore, but I'm still a ways off from that goal
dougbb, tried play on linux?
I'm spending more time in the business world lately, so there are some things I have to use windows for ... as good as libreoffice is, microsoft is better at making their file formats hard to use
blackgatonegro: nope ... I have been using vmware workstation
dougbb, play on linux is good if you only wanna use games
now problem is how to make my total HDD available to Ubuntu without losing my entire media type data[eg.pics,movies]and my Ubuntu installed softwares.
blackgatonegro: I need office 2010
kutu, you're actually better off with a partition for windows, a partition for data, and an extended partition for linux
that way your data can be shared between the 2 operating systems
dougbb, play on linux also lets you use office I think, it also helps a lot installing directx and that, and is on ubuntu repos, give it a try.
ubuntu handles NTFS partitions very well
blackgatonegro: thank you for the suggestion :)
guess he's going to go play a game :)
I wanna make only 2 partitions; 1 for Linux 2 for media. i dont need win7 anymore.
kutu: why 2 for media?
then only 1
kutu, in that case, you can have 1 partition for the linux / and /usr, 1 for swap, 1 for /var, and the rest for /home
your data will go on /home
I like to do about 10 G /, 150% * RAM for swap, 4 G for /var
please write the process
I have 500GB Hdd
+2GB RAM
kutu, that's plenty big enough
the installer CD will let you create and size the partitions
just be sure to back up your data before you install :)
since your HD is so large, you might want to go 15 G for /, but usually 10 is more than enough
wanna walk him through encripting his /home file too? lol
heh
the issue is on backing up. I have calculated that my used space [linux os+media]<=30GB.If I use a 40 GB HDD as backup then how can I backup media+Ubuntu
well, I personally have my data on a separate partition, and I use truecrypt for encryption
kutu: you don't have to back up the OS
you just have to back up your data
but then the softwares installed will be gone too
kutu: right, you're going to reinstall the OS after you repartition the drive
I keep my data on a twin portable tara drives
my internal is dedicated to os and apps
kutu: you're going to want to do all of this with the installer CD
kutu, usually your software installed was downloaded first and resides on apt cache dir
<blackshirt> true
kutu: if you want to save ntfs partition with just add it to fstab read http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1604251
hello all
him mon
binary_glitch, sure, apt was doing that until you clean cache
kutu : you can use aptoncd https://help.ubuntu.com/community/APTonCD
* dougbb just tried bleachbit for the first time today ... that was fun
i'm writing because a thing I face a kernel bug in hardy 8.04
dougbb:  did you delete something important  :)
and want to know if someone have seen it before
discribe it mon
zvacet: heh, no
dougbb : good  ;)
I meant "fun" in the traditional sense
We have a problem with puppet and certain kind of machines from our farm (+300), those with Supermicro X8SIE motherboard. Sometime when running puppet the machine crash, we loss access to it and logging through IPMI doesn't show anything in the console, the only thing we can do is a cold reboot. Then if we run puppet again, nothing happens. If we run puppet several days after it could be another crash or not, it is random. I debugged th
deleted a whole bunch of old apt stuff, that's what made me think of it
dougbb: I know what you mean
I debugged the problem and get the conclusion the cause was running "facter", running it in a mpssh session caused 7 or 8 crashes in different machines.
so if I,1)make a bavkup of[apt cache+media];2)reinstall Ubuntu after suitable partitioning;3)copy paste apt cache -will my Ubuntu hold the same softs as before?
where  can I  get mpeg encorder to play mp3 songs ?
that would be c in 'bavkup'
kutu: depends .... anything you installed after installing the OS itself will have to be reinstalled
riqdiiz, use totem or such
kernel 2.6.24-28-server
I took some straces on a crash
ridiiz use clementine
hi, i updated to 12.04 and transmission don't connect to https tracker anymore, is there something i should check?
kutu : if you copy var/cache/apt/archives the you can install packages again
if kutu where only around when a ton of software had to be compiled from tar balls... he wouln't feel so badabout having to reinstall his software... lol
roger21 : remove transmission and install qbittorent
roger21: I second epic_'s suggestion :)
kutu, you can repack your installed packages with dpkg-repack and make a backup for it
It requests to search for the codecs and when it does comes up with nothing.
binary_glitch: depends if he use checkinstall  ;)
ok, won't do
riqdiiz : just install vlc or clementine that's it.
riqdiiz: if you want to listen to mp3s you might need the "restricted extras" package
facter use dmidecode, has someone experience something similar?
riqdiiz: install ubuntu-restricted-extras for sure
thank you all for helping me to solve this problem!
is any way to debug this kind of crashes?
hi. i'm about to buy a laptop with radeon 6310m. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RadeonDriver says "These cards should work with Ubuntu Oneric/11.10".
does that mean they work with 11.10 AND UP?
kutu: than them if it work  :)
where can I get them?
when installing the latest download, my current hd config has 100gb free space, if i select install along side it will use that and set up swap in that space as well??

thats...100 gb unallocated space..its not formatted yet
These are questions from Zonal Computing olympiad in India.
Question 1: http://pastebin.com/Sa6gRFuK
still if he had to reinatall half his apps through apt-get in the command line, and compile the other half, a time or too before, using software center would b a cinch... I remember using lynx text browser, and trying towrap my head aroud wat a repository was... but then again I didn't have much computer experience either... I've only use linux my whole life...
Question 2:http://pastebin.com/TxTiGmaC
that was @ <zvacet>
Does anyone know how do I evaluvate the input in question 1
hall6: we won't help you do your homework, sorry :)
hall6, do it in your library :d :d :d
This isn't my homework. The olympiad ended weeks ago. I an still not able to solve them
dougbbb : rightly said'
try #math
someone please, my hard drive has 100gb unallocated space, if i select install ubuntu alongside them will it use that space and also set up swap in that space..using the latest download from the site, lts
64bit
Guestt49255:  along side what?
windows
i have a hard time trusting the installer. i choose "something else" and set it up by hand (scroll down and make sure grub is going to the right drive)
grub goes to which partition, the one with windows? XRS1
if you have 4GB RAM, setup a 5GB SWAP and make the rest "/" as ext4
it goes to the hard drive that has windows yes
ah ok, gotcha thanks XRS1
Guest49255: grub goes to mbr
I have enabled third parties,added the restricted repos,used apt but nothing seems to work .
so the partition with windows right?
typically it should be hda or sda. just make sure whatever it calls the hard drive with windows is what grub is going to (no number)
riqdiiz: why dont you use vlc, the simple option
perfect, thanks guys
Guest49255: I will make 10-15 / rest for /home add swap if it is lap top if it is not max 2GB for swap
just to be sure i do this right, 1st make the unallocated space into the rest of 4gb primary, ext4 mount at / and then do swap with the rest?
riqdiiz: enable univere and multiverse repositories
oh, i have 4gb memory
no "/" should be almost all the drive, swap should be a little bigger than how much RAM you have
epic: where can I get it.
riqdiiz: software centre
almost all of the unallocated partition*
Guest49255: 1Gb is more them enough for swap
kk
XRS1: why are you against /home partition
primary or logical for the ext partition?
primary
awesome sorry bout all the q's  i just want to be sure i get it right
thanks again
for a first time install, its usually easier to setup it all as root untill you understand how the system works
im not a noob, its just been awhile
this is something trivial. I use gnome-terminal on ubuntu. I open a lot of tabs.
 Its very tough to find the active tab on the top. It is highlighted but very subtle.
Guest49255: it's not a point for linux what the partition
is there a way to make it more prominent ?
okay if you understand how it works, it is best to have a seperate /home partition or drive. makes life easier
i always mount at /
Guest49255 : maybe you want to read  http://members.iinet.net.au/~herman546/p22.html
XRS1 : right!
night all
ill check it out
XRS1: and then you find out that is good to have separate /home and you reinstall  :'(
nevermind found a way. http://askubuntu.com/questions/40332/how-to-make-selected-tab-in-terminal-more-prominent
zvacet : Reinstallation is not needed. It can be done with gparted
well by the time i figured that out back in the day, a new dist upgrade was available
Guest49255: my recommendation is 1Gb for swap, 10Gb / and keep the rest for /home on separate partition
epic_: you are right
the partitioning setup works best different ways for different uses.   set it up how it works best for you

i have a 100mb MBR, 20 gb NTFS, 100GB NTFS, and 70 GB NTFS, the trick is I must not delete 100GB
jerardwack: mktorrent -o path/file.torrent /dir
I need to expand the 20gb from 70 unallocated
but unallocated is located after the very important 100GB
(using gparted)
llutz: thank you very much! I
help
i'll tried it now
My machine is getting usernames and passwords from ldap, when i shutdown slapd it is unable to recieve specific users using getent shadow and getent passwd. Now on my main server some users are able to login using their slapd credentials but on the others they are not, and i am a bit confused how this could happen
so every trackers work except for taht one (and the tracker is fine itself) what could it be?
epic_:  I'm still getting the error message "gzip: stdin: unexpected end of file"

Anyone know if any NFS mount defaults have changed in quantal? Am finding I can't exec shell scripts on NFS mounts
it actually download nothing :(
epic_: I'm trying to learn d3.js, one thing I need to do is install a local server.  So, the tutorial is asking me to download/install XAMPP for Ubuntu.  I've downloaded the tar file but keep getting an error message when trying to untar
cache_money: are you doing with terminal or software
says 'server not reachable....'
epic_: the terminal
Cache_Money: It's much easier to install LAMP via apt-get / deselect than it is via XAMPP. While it might diverge from the guide, I recommend that you install LAMP normally (note also that installing LAMP normally is all that this channel supports).
epic: could it be that the servers nolonger support 9.04?
would anyone have a clue why this ubuntu machine is about 2 minutes late compared to all my other systems, whilst it is set automatically?
riqdiiz: Yes, Ubuntu 9.04 has been EOL for a *long* time. Upgrade immediately.
Hi folks, looking for help using my compiled so library against using the pre-installed one. Need to figure why one piece of code is crashing - dumping core
riqdiiz: yeah
update it to 12.04 or 12.10
this is not 9 but how do I get the version?
Jordan_U: I ran this command: $ sudo apt-get install apache2 php5 php5-mysql mysql-server .  Is this similar to XAMPP
?
julie101010: which ubuntu are you running there?
I think it's 11 but where can I check?
julie101010: I don't know why this problem happens, but happens to me also on 12.10
julie101010: "lsb_release -a"
poor me! as of upgrading ,ill have to make do with my 9.04 for quite sometime ....I use dial up :'(
I am forced to use ntpdate command every day
The d3.js tutorial I'm following is telling me I need to run a localserver to serve up my content.  Where do I need to put my project folder in order for the apache2 server to serve it up?
got 12.04
riqdiiz: download from cafe
julie101010: try "sudo ntpdate -u ntp.ubuntu.com "
very expensive here as they also use dial up.
riqdiiz: Even with dial up you should be able to download an Ubuntu 12.04 LTS iso in less than a week.
they assign  you a different IP before you know it.
riqdiiz: Use wget, then you can continue partial downloads.
after week-downloading ubuntu, you need more one week for get updates :)
riqdiiz: And when you do upgrade, go for 12.04 LTS, as that will be supported for much longer than 12.10 (or any other version until the next LTS release).
Jordan_U, riqdiiz: Yeah, you can even finish in under a week if you kill the wget process during times of day when people are going to need the line, and just do it overnight.  (That's how I downloaded 5.04)
and when you do upgrade will come new release ubuntu, and you start downloading them
jerardwack: Right now they're running 9.04 with security vulnerabilities that have been known for years. Ubuntu 12.04.1, even with no updates, is far better.
I think more simple find ubuntu release in town where he lives
kya ho raha hai bhai logo ?
just follow the man with longest beard
Is this the correct (most efficient?) command to start an Apache2 server?  $ sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 start
Hey guys. I am trying to install urllib2, can this be done with pip?
Cache_Money: sudo service apache2 start
that's the worst! they sell only bread and tea leaves here!;-) jerardwack
cache_money : yes
somsip: And I put my files in /var/www/  ??
Cache_Money: you put them where your docroot is. By default, it is /var/www
Cache_Money: service apache start < may also work
riqdiiz: where are you?
remote part of kenya.
riqdiiz: what's the postal service like out where you are?
we can send you dvd
the only available here
epic I'd really appreciate.
Yop all

hello, I'm trying to rip the sound track of an .mp4 video file to mp3 using ffmpeg. I get this ouput: "Encoder (codec id 86017) not found for output stream #0.0" Does that mean I don't have mp3 codec on my system? cause sorta sounds silly to me ...with Rhythmbox coming ootb in Ubuntu it's gotta be present, right? I used basically this command: ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -ab 128 -ar 44100 output.mp3
hmz
too bad i can't run kvm in virtualbox
Something has gone terribly wrong with my system. When try to type something, it either does not recognise the key or does completely something else then the whole system tries shuts down but hang.
hi, does anyone know what might cause mount.nfs: mount system call failed when trying to mount an NFS export from a Windows 2012 Storage Server ?
epic_ I have sent you the details.
cakeboss  type ffmpeg -formats | grep mp
Would it be possible to recover to a previous state?
riqdiiz : got thaat
bennypr0fane  type ffmpeg -formats | grep mp <-- addressed wrong guy, sorry
Ubuntu sucks :(
epic_  thanks.
ok sorry I have problem with my ubuntu installations
nsr: if you tell the channel what the specific problem is and ask nicely are much more likely to help than if you insult their os of choice. just a thought :)
hello
Mopnkeydust: http://pastebin.com/pivKJm0R
i need some help with my  server
Monkeydust: http://pastebin.com/pivKJm0R
anyone ?
newbee: if you're a bit more specific people will (probably) help, if they know the answer
ok sorry ppl
bennypr0fane  mp3 is there, it should work, try without all the options, just for a test -- also consider using avconv, same syntax as ffmpeg
i need help with my server, for couple of days i can not access my web sites but ssh is working fine when i restart apache everything works for couple of minutes and then again sites are unreachable
i asked my host support to help me but they do not administrate
newbee: did you look into the logs? what ubuntu are you running exactly?
the only thig they send me is this mesage : THe problem is simple. The proccess sftp-server it using 100% of disk I/O and this way any other program cannot work:
ubuntu 10.4
does killing the ftp-server help?
i do not know how to kill it :(
i don't know much about linux
newbee  there's also #ubuntu-server
hi all - I wanted to take some jpg's  images and combine them into a slideshow with fade transitions and then output this as a video. Thus I thought there may be a piece of software for ubuntu which could output a video - could anyone suggest a good one
newbee: first list all the processes with ps -aX, then you can use grep to find sftp-server (ps -aX | grep "sftp-server") check the process id, the column to the left, and then try "kill that_id", replace that_id with the correct id.
Monkeydust how do I get avconv? it's not in the repo and on there page they don't offer a .deb for download it seems
bennypr0fane: What version of Ubuntu are you using? It's certainly available in Ubuntu 12.04 and 12.10.
steveccc: i like openshot
ok thank you, but why is this hapening ? is it some kind of hack?
auronandace: what type of software is it - video or more presentation?
steveccc: a video editor, you can work with pictures in it too
newbee: my guess is a bug or badly configured server, or you or your host are using it in a weird way.
and how can i fix this?
newbee what do you do on your server? only a website? Apache? PHP?
websites with php
I there all I am trying to trouble shoot a little arduino usb programmer where the usb interface is showing up intermittently and every time it shows backup Ubuntu is giving it a new serial port number. Show my question is; is there a way of asigning a static port number to a specific device in Ubuntu?
i think he got a vserver and is at the limit of the specs.
auronandace: just installing it now
Jordan_U: 12.04, Lubuntu though
bennypr0fane: Lubuntu uses the same repositories. "sudo apt-get install libav-tools".
newbee paste the results of this into pastie.org: tail -n 20 /var/log/apache/error.log
newbee: if killing the sftp-server helps i would recommend either checking into the config or switching ftp server.
Jordan_U that is installed
here's the complete output of my command : http://pastebin.com/reg83VJA
changed it a little
newbee actually that should be apache2
also paste the output of "top"
bennypr0fane: You said you wanted avconv, but you're using ffmpeg. What problem are you having with running avconv?
llutz: thanks - looks perfect
output from avconv is exactly the same as in ffmpeg
bennypr0fane  simply type ffmpeg -i infile.mp4 outfile.mp3 <-- no options added, see if it shows the same error
same error it seems to think mp3 is not present
ok how can i send you the file
I gotta go, thanks though. have a good day!

Hi. Does nayone know of a keyboar dmapping for a Lenovo W520 (UK model), to use with Ubuntu 12.10, please?
RichardH: what do you mean keyboard mapping? just use the uk layout
newbee: did you run "tail -n 20 ..."? it should just give you 20 lines.
RichardH: you select the layout in the installer
no how do i do that? in apache?
auronandace: Thanks. Sorry, flapped when I didn't see a layout that matches the Lenovo's keyboard. Actually testing keys adjacent to enter shows they map corretly!
Doh!
in a terminal, TeamColtra pasted the command. "tail -n 20 /var/log/apache2/error.log" or similar, I'm not sure about the path.
and also the output from the command "top"
top is probably going to be more helpful
let me log into my ubuntu server and see what the correct apache error log path is
try htop
ok i got it how do i copy the text?
newbee what are you using to access SSH? putty? terminal?
bitvise tunnelier
Okay guys I have a onboard SSD 8 Gig drive on my laptop can I use that for my swap and how can I do that to test it out?
newbee if it handles clipboard you can try marking text with your mouse and then using ctrl-v in windows.
adknight87_: mkswap, swapon
vit: I have a existing swap
no i can not selec it
newbee I don't know how, I am sure it has some copy/paste function but it's not a standard SSH client so I am not too helpful here
ok i did it
You could screenshot it

well then i do not know what can i do
i was afraid that it is ddos attack
anyone in here particularly familiar with networking and latency?
I just found out that every time I enter program or other search in new Ubuntu interface, my searches are going to Ubuntu databases with my IP address and are re-used...
How do I opt-out from such survailance in Ubuntu operating system and stop sharing such personal information?
In New GUI and whole system.
Last time I managed that is when disabling Ubuntu one service in Ubuntu 10.04.
What are all programs, services and setting I can manage in Ubuntu 12.10 to stop private information going out of computer during use and that are included in Ubuntu default installation?
nikolam: here's one: sudo apt-get remove unity-lens-shopping
I found sending my keystrokes and searches to third parties by default (facebook, twitter,amazon etc) very disturbing and bad anti-user practice. And I would like Canonical to stop that id it wants me to recommend Ubuntu to anyone.
_bt, thank you . I am also annoyed with shopping offers in my main user interface for my own OS, outside shopping centre/programs app.
nikolam: I quite like it
nikolam: I don't like it either. I think it is a necessary evil in a way.
Make ubuntu more mainstream and generate revenue for the ubuntu team to develop further etc.
gordonjcp, I like it inside Shopping centre/Ubuntu software centre. But it does not have anything to do with my productivity, therefore it is a big minus.
cakeboss, I think it is enough to have them displayed in bottom of software center by default. but it is annoying enough to offer non-free software in free software OS. Let alone putting those on my main user interface could be classified as too much aggressive advertising, Maybe even illegal in some places.
anyone knows what these two line does in the interfaces file? "    up ifconfig $IFACE 0.0.0.0 up
    down ifconfig $IFACE down"
$IFACE is I think some default interface, previously determined in script/ value and 0.0.0.0 designate that interface can contact with every network etc.
Okay how do I find the hard drives uuid?
adknight87_, ls -l /dev/disk/by-uuid  or other by-* dirs
ty
hoi
cakeboss, It is not question of just revenue. It is question of my privacy being selled in main OS GUI to some third party companies directly, together with my IP address. And forcing users to watch advertising in their regular everyday work. Like Ubuntu is moving advertising OS.
is dit niet in het nederlands
It is like free software turning against user interests in Ubuntu now.
So how do I merge to partitions?
two^
adknight87_, empty or used?
adknight87_, maybe firstly making backup of both data, moving data from one partition to another , destroying second and then making first partition bigger?
nikolam: thanks
gaat er nog iemand een antwoord geven
nikolam: Well one's my os partition and the second is the old swap partition
Guest31436  stel je vrager liever in het nederlands
in het engels*
;)
hoe kom ik daar dan
adknight87_, I would suggest leaving swap where it is?
nikolam: I have a on board 8 gig SSD
Guest31436  type /join #ubuntu-nl
hello
adknight87_, I don't know, but I personally get used to have swap. I think it is used when computer hibernates, too.
fijn doei
nikolam: I'm switching the location to my on board SSD drive that's embedded to the laptops board. I just haven't been using the storage so I figure I could try and utilize the space while the ram being 8 gig's itself I see no problem with the switch. Do you understand what I'm doing. I'm only asking here so I don't go screwing up and save myself hours of headaches
hey guys, i have root access to my development server and i would like to add myself to sftp users
can anyone help me with that? all i can tell for now is that sftp is isntalled
because if i insert sftp in console it brings up data about it
LOL he just quit no response.
If I don't come back the swap didn't work lol
Wiz_KeeD: you have sftpd running on the server, you want to access it via sftp , yes?
almoxarife, i have root access on the box, it has sftp installed and i need to push a branch using bzr (Version Control System) to the server from my local computer using sftp
for that i need a sftp account username and password
Wiz_KeeD: your sftp account is username@ip where sftpd resides, you running kde?
not that good with the linux environment
both boxes (my development environment and the server) run ubuntu
is that gnome?
or am i not even close?
Wiz_KeeD: it may be
Wiz_KeeD: gnome or unity
so i've got it at least :D
Wiz_KeeD: are you doing this via a gui or terminal?
terminal almoxarife
Wiz_KeeD: ok, your user name is same as your user on server, password same as user pass on server
If anyone knows how to stop sending my IP address and my searches inside new Ubutnu GUi to third parties, please say.
Hey everyone, I am struggling to get my AR3013 BLUETOOTH adapter working on ubuntu 12.10. This is on an Aspire S3 laptop. I have googled, and linlap'd to no avail. Any suggestions? LSPCI doesn't seem to recognise it and i'm not sure where to turn
dragosta, lsusb?
nikolam: interesting, what gathers your ip within ubuntu?
nikolam, i'll give that a go
almoxarife, yeah i thought as much but it didn't work, but then i checked my groups and i am only in root group
nikolam, no, lsusb fails to return the device
almoxarife, User interface itself . every your search sends it up to canonical and directly to named third parties.
dragosta, well it is connected to some bus. try to identify where.
dragosta: it'll be usb, so try lsusb ;-)
almoxarife, there is <i> button on the bottom of the menu with programs.
nikolam: search? via what?
almoxarife, when you enter anything inside dash home.
see "search in the dash" - legal notice. , file://usr/share/unity/searchingthedashlegalnotice.html
nikolam: your intention when doing so is not an internet search via some search engine?
asia kocham cie
almoxarife, exactly. My intention is to use my OS. And Canonical intention is to give my personal usage to third parties.
nikolam: that assumes i have the file at the link location, i dont
pajak  what's your language?
together with my IP address.
gordonjcp, only six things return from lsusb, one of which is my soundcard, two are "Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub", and some other already branded devices. the only Atheros chip i can find is in LSPCI and that is my WIFI card
wonchej
yeah, it won't be pci
almoxarife, If you use unity, click on "I" button on the bottom of Dash home menu.
on the right-down corner
nikolam: perhaps then you need to use some other OS which meets your standards of personal security

hmm, it seems all my NFS mounts on quantal have "noexec" despite "exec" being a mount option...
uwies mi sie na gitarze
almoxarife, seems that it have nothing to do with "standards of personal security" it have to do with destroying every Ubuntu user's privacy. And security is tighted with privacy, yes.
nikolam: or install wireshark, see who is getting what and add rules via a firewall to keep them from receiving it, that could keep you busy for a while
Ubuntu is just not safe for it's own users. Canonical is betraying users.
almoxarife, that is a good idea
nikolam: thats an opinion, i have none
But I get used to TRUST Ubuntu and Linux not to spy on me.
nikolam: never trust
Well that worked
FU yea on board ssd being utilized as swap
Btw, I always turn ON installed programs list sending to Canonical to help them understand usage cases and programs statistics for distribution. I don't trust third parties!
I can't seem to force "exec" on nfs mounts since quantal - anyone know how to force it or what changed?
Sounds like someone doesn't like other peoples work
almoxarife:  I can't resize a operating system partition while actively on it can I?
nikolam: no
adknight87: no :)
almoxarife, it is displayed in Dash legal notice that it is sending dash usage ot third parties. A fact.
adknight87, depends on the file system... usually not.
aha :)
adknight87  like you cant mend a car while driving it
adknight87:  yes u can
almoxarife: yes, you can
almoxarife: you just won't get useful results
nikolam: i have no interest in your contractual issues with conical, thnks
MonkeyDust: I beg to differ on that one depends on the damage on the vehicle :P Military service anything can happen on the fly
almoxarife: if you resize an actively mounted filesystem, you can generate some really entertaining problems
adknight87: dont you keep 'gparted' around for a rainy day?
TeamColtra: failing motherboard?  crud in the slots?  weird BIOS settings particularly with regard to RAM timing?
TeamColtra: sheer bad luck?
gordonjcp: so the answer is still 'no' ?
almoxarife: How do you think I got the swap location changed
almoxarife: well, it depends what you want ;-)
adknight87: so do it again, resize the what ever is not big or small enough for your taste
almoxarife: I'm too lazy to reboot into the live disk
almoxarife, those are contractual issues with every Ubuntu user woth Canonical, when Unity Dash is betraying thair privacy to third parties. Ok, no telling just to you.
nikolam: hmm linux? just block the outgoing addresses linked to the application that's sending out your information.
nikolam: can we agree to not discuss it further? thnks
xD
nikolam, you do trust thousands of people if you use Linux.
REDUNDANT isn't it.
Anyways I'll brb I've got some gparted and a usb stick to shove in a receptacle
almoxarife, well I can agree not to discuss it with you.
To some degree that trust is earned, since you don't hear every day about 0 day exploits for most Linux systems.
nikolam: have you actually studied how the Amazon plugin works, or are you just mouthing off about stuff you read on phoronix?
nikolam: that would be great
gordonjcp, why don't you tell us?
But the issue is still there. And I am looking for solution to turn off Dash and Unity sending my private system usage to third party companies.
invariant: about what?
for all users on system by default.
nikolam: uninstall the amazon plugin, if you don't like it
gordonjcp, about what Dash and or Unity do by default.
invariant: I don't care what they do by default
invariant: they can transmit what I type directly to a team of stunt aircraft who write it in the sky with smoke trails, for all I care
gordonjcp, you said mouthing off about stuff you read on phoronix.
so beside unity-lens-shopping , there is also amazon plugin to remove.. Thanks gordonjcp
gordonjcp: i am almost ready to toss phoronix, if anyone spams they do, and i do a pretty go job of catching spam before i have to see it'
nikolam: yes, unity-lens-shopping, that's the thing
invariant: yeah, it seems that everyone that whines about it has read the same article and actually doesn't know much about what's going on at all
gordonjcp, the way I understand it the criticism is well founded.
invariant, click on <i> on boddom on dash to inform on dash/unity legal notices
invariant: I like the amazon plugin <shrug>
nikolam, I don't use Unity.
it's useful, and it helps keep the lights on for the Ubuntu team
nikolam: you're also free to pick a different DE or even a different distro
nikolam: or for that matter a different OS
gordonjcp, you did not respond to what I asked.
invariant, if you don't use unity, stop the rant please.
invariant: I didn't see you ask a question
DE, distro, OS, its all so confusing
OerHeks, I am not ranting. Please follow the subject.
invariant, dashhome>I on bottom
MY question before I go is WHY should he have to worry about that if he isn't doing anything wrong?
invariant: it's probably more appropriate for #ubuntu-offtopic
OerHeks, I just asked why gordonjcp believes that nikolam is just copying things off phoronix without understanding.
invariant: oh, I answered that
adknight87: dont you like to worry?
gordonjcp, it seems very on-topic to me.
invariant: it's not a support-related discussion, so it's offtopic for the support channel
gordonjcp, It is not the point. the point it to have clean solution to turn it off. Since I would recommending Ubuntu to users. And to try to make users aware of that. And at the end maybe canging ways Canonical trat users now.
almoxarife: Why I'm aware and know what to do but we aren't the ones the good guys are looking to book
:P
Again fruitful thought.
gordonjcp, in an actual company, it would be a support question.
brb
nikolam: the recommendation is to use Amazon through Unity, and pay back some of the support and development costs ;-)
gordonjcp, it doesn't say 'technical support' in the topic.
invariant, I just installed Ubuntu. and found out that it is spying on me. I were not on Phoronix.
gordonjcp, it is completely on-topic.
nikolam: then install something else
gordonjcp, you are just avoiding the question.
I have managed to find something to do with Bluetooth after doing cat /var/log/dmesg: http://pastebin.com/0PL8KAes
invariant: I answered your question twice.
gordonjcp, Nope. I see no contract between me and amazon to send them my Desktop usage.
nikolam: then use something else
nikolam, you said something; you didn't answer the question.
gordonjcp, that was for you.
still, none of the applets seem to detect it
invariant: okay, since you have trouble understanding it
i am assuming that one who uses a conical product, ie; ubuntu, entered into a contractual agreement with same said organization, one does have the option to not use the product, short of that the argument is mute, :)
gordonjcp, nope. Contributing is a way of making Ubuntu better. Exactly what I am trying. And to seek solution to that particular problem.
Hi. Can I set a full hostname in /etc/hostname such as mydomain.com ?
invariant: everybody that complains about the Amazon shopping lens seems to make reference to the same article in Phoronix where they launched into their usual anti-Unity ranting
It was similar like removing ubuntu one in 10.04 to not sharing my IP address.
joris: yes you can
thank you
nikolam, for new users, it is spying, I agree.  However, once you are made aware of it, you can easily turn it off.
invariant: therefore, I tend to assume that *anyone* whining about unity-lens-shopping is doing so because they read the Phoronix article, and not because they actually dug into it
nikolam: oh, come on
can I put multiple ones in there? like production, production.mydomain.com and mydomain.com ?
"share my IP address"
nikolam: do you know how IP works?
you're sharing your IP address now
great, invariant you give the answer to your own question. now we can move on.
invariant, well that is what exactly what is needed, for me and other to understand how to turn that spying off.
gordonjcp, yes.
gordonjcp, you still haven't answered the question.
gordonjcp, you are only projecting your assumptions; something I could not care less about.
invariant: in which case I clearly don't understand your question
gordonjcp, nope. i use TOR and xchat addon to use Tor/onion network to use freenode.
nikolam: yeah, you're really easy to trace
hey guys
gordonjcp, why is it wrong what the phoronix article says?
how do i create a directory using another user when in root so i don't have to chown and stuff?
nikolam: I know where you are down to the dslam you're on
* OerHeks thinks this is going to be a personal attack on gordonjcp 
OerHeks: yeah
gordonjcp, that is not the point. Point is - Canonical done that to all Ubuntu users without knowing. But let's get to technical parts.
OerHeks, I think what you think is completely wrong.
Goal is to understand what to set it up to stop it. Beside removing unity-lens-shopping.
nikolam: tor would be great if *everyone* did it, but since there are only a handful of exit nodes it's actually more traceable than not bothering with tor
That is all. Let canonical change their own privacy problems on other place.
gordonjcp, there are thousands of exit nodes.
nikolam: (I don't actually know where you are down to the dslam but I could find out if I cared)
gordonjcp, and while it might be traceable for The Powers That Be, it is not traceable for you.
gordonjcp, that was just an example. And have nothing to do with the case of sharing IP and private usage searches and types with third parties.
its them entry nodes that will get you
invariant, :)
gordonjcp, as such, you are just spreading complete misinformation.
nikolam: so remove it
nikolam: if it's that big a deal, recommend that your users use xubuntu
gordonjcp, I removed it, we will see if something elese in ubuntu sharing some information. Maybe ubuntu one?
nikolam: I don't really care, tbh
why would I care
I use Amazon *anyway*
gordonjcp, I already use xubuntu since 6.10 This is computer I am preparing for other people.
* invariant thinks gordonjcp deserves a troll award
nikolam: stick Xubuntu on it then
gordonjcp, but not like, amazon knowing my every move on my desktop
nikolam: they don't know your every move on the desktop
gordonjcp, most probably will.
lets stop the personal attacks, pls, its not nice, you do want to be nice dont you?
I must say I mostly like ubuntu selling/software center.
And I always Enable sharing installed programs info for statistics woth Canonical.
nikolam, amazon does NOT know every move, stop trolling.
"To make Ubuntu better" you know
Interesting my swap location doesn't stay on after a reboot I have to turn it back on.
adknight87: you need to add the swap to /etc/fstab
almoxarife: you beat me to it ;-)
OerHeks, I would but gordonjcp keeps pushing me. I just wanted solution for Dsh home npt sending my usage and local serches to Amazon and other parties. See legal notice of Dash on the bottom of it, by pressing <I> button.
almoxarife: I followed the directions for that on ubuntu's site
I have changed my /etc/hostname, but sendmail is still sending HELOs with my old hostname. I have restarted init.d/networking and sendmail. Any ideas?
gordonjcp: one of the neatest tricks i found was moving lines from mtab to fstab, thats good, because i am clueless on how to construct it myself
OerHeks, It Does. see legal notice for Dash home
almoxarife: yeah, that'd work
adknight87: sure you did, you just didnt read it all, take it back!
almoxarife: You make me want to show file edit time date stamps
adknight87: are you saying you did add the swap to fstab?
hello folks
hello theo_
almoxarife: Yes. I even was here double checking
hello anita
hello
FYI,  https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2012/10/privacy-ubuntu-1210-amazon-ads-and-data-leaks
adknight87: then you did it wrong, :)
* nikolam also removing everything named "ubuntuone" from system to stop sharing IP with Canonical third-parties
adknight87: do it right this time
POOP
pickin on me again
Am I not suppose to mess with the fstab?
xcxc
nikolam: you are getting tedious, dont make me get an op, take the politics elsewhere
almoxarife: pastebin your fstab?
hej\
HEJ
CO TAM?
gordonjcp: but, but, if i do you can see my internet pipes or something
almoxarife: ZOMG YOUR COMPUTER IS BROADCASTING AN IP ADDRESS!
zomg?
almoxarife, itis not politics. It is removing Canonical spying Appl installed by default in Ubuntu. it is technical question of what apps should be removed to get Not inside Canonical politics.

yes
I also have menu on login screen moved to the left side after fresh installing Ubuntu 12.10 64-bit . And I have many dots on the screen. (It is Nvidia 210 graphics and I suppose it uses nouveau driver after fresh install)
fstab pastebin anyone?
http://pastebin.com/X8rS2Xg7
nikolam: do you know about bluecava?
When I log in , screen garble and then it log in right
login draws a grid
adknight87: swap is on sda5?
almoxarife: it's on sdb5
adknight87: yes, my bad
almoxarife: I have a on board SSD drive that's 8 Gigs the same as my ram.
but it also garbles the screen after login and before displaying desktop, so I suppose it is some kind of bug. Or related to unity-lens-shopping and ubuntu one removal
adknight87: yes, you have told us that a few times
adknight87: you're not swapping to the SSD though, right?
gordonjcp: I am actually it works.
adknight87: not for long...
adknight87, I do not know kothing about bluecava. Not sure it has to do something about Ubuntu
gordonjcp: why is that?
adknight87: because you only have a finite number of write cycles
adknight87: and swapping gets through them pretty quickly
adknight87: you want to see 100% swap?
gordonjcp, maybe he could just turn on SSD optimizations.
nikolam: then I suggest you do and that you put your halt on privacy issues with ubuntu to a latterday conversation
almoxarife: you mean to say you want me to fill my 8gigs of ssd space with crap just to see
adknight87, I will never stop inofrming users of technical posibility of removing applications that can help them using Ubuntu more privatly.
adknight87: increase the swapiness from the default 60 to 100, then bring it back to 60 when you are finally bored with swap
Users have right to use their OS in best way to them.
nikolam: bluecava.com
adknight87: i dont 'want' you to do a thing, it was a suggestion
and adding and removing app is just normal usage of an OS.
nikolam: it's still not a great idea
nikolam: these days swap isn't such a big thing, since we all have more RAM than we could possibly need ;-)
gordonjcp, don't know what you reffer to.
gordonjcp: yes,
nikolam: your comment about SSD optimisations
nikolam: the best optimisation is not to hammer them into the ground with swap...
gordonjcp, swap is usefull to have, bacause of hybernation. an I like to have swap in case some all malfunction and start leaking RAM. I have long experience.
gordonjcp: i would have to agree, using ssd for swap does seem like wanting to kill the ssd early and for no good reason
xD
gordonjcp, Swap is used only when ther eis not enough RAM. That is all. it does not hurt , just helps IF needed.
I'm not using the SSD for squat
nikolam: that's not quite true
gordonjcp, but what is true then?
well, it depends on a lot of factors
stuff gets swapped out if it has been idle for a long time, and doesn't necessarily get swapped back in
god, someone/s had too much caffeine this morning
nikolam: I mean I'm sitting with about 75% swap space used and 50% RAM used at the moment
lets move on please
you'd think that it would stop swapping stuff out since there's loads of RAM kicking about
if I close firefox I'll get about 25% RAM used ;-)
gordonjcp, well, that is just fine for me. Swap have its usage. It is there to do exactly that. To help if needed etc.
nikolam, thats enough
lets take the swap debate elsewhere
nikolam: if the RAM starts filling up then even when it's nowhere near full the machine will be swapping like mad
gordonjcp, ?
bazhang: sorry, I hit enter on that just as your line popped up
OKAY guys here was the issue I won't be touching the swap very often meaning not a lot of wear and tear. I have 8 gig's of ram and do not hibernate the laptop. So in a rare case that I do. I actually can't hibernate for some reason the option is grayed out.
gordonjcp, I think that depends on your usage case. I personally like to have it, I am long time user. Let's just leave it at that.
:)
oh well
about time
Looks like he ran out of RAM.
xD!
adknight87: you cant hibernate?
I love people who say "oh I'm a long time user" like it means something
almoxarife: apparently not on this system
adknight87: thats something worth fixating about
bazhang, I was just ending "topic you don't like" I call for unjust managing of a channel.
nikolam: again, #ubuntu-offtopic is for blethering
almoxarife: I never really required it much use out of it.
gordonjcp, I am not doing nothing wrong, but technical questions, Please stop mollesting me.
Apparently there's a "discard" option for fstab mount properties too also a nice "noatime" option as well to reduce writes
hell
hell to you to
how can i access the encrypted home directory from outside of ubuntu?
s/hell/hello/ :-)
almoxarife: still alive?
adknight87: what?
almoxarife: apparently now that I have read a bit more into the swap on ssd support there is already a discard function in the kernel. But I'm still having issues trying to get my swap to stay on lol.
Good morning. I have a doubt with the partitions. I have a 500GB hard drive and I have W7 and Ubuntu. The partitions would W7 50-60Gb, 30 Gb for /, 2GB swap, and the rest for / home. The configured as primary? recomendais follow that order or another?
windows 7 often wants 2 partions one for its special boot partion and one for the os.  thats how most pc makers set  it up. but i think its NOT requirewd fo windows 7 to have 2
Pipe1984: as a general rule, set swap to 2X your system ram
Pipe1984, primary/secondary doesnt matter too on GPT which is default for windows 7
you may want to put all of the linux partions on an extended with logicals also.
i have 4 gb RAM
hey guys i have install ubuntu with dual boot with win 7 via wibi not its corrucpted
What are the mount options for fstab?
now ubuntu is corrupted
juniour: wubi is a testing platform not a long term installation solution.  Consider a proper dual boot or virtual installation
but there are importan file in ubuntu home how can i recovere them
is there any method so i can recove my file
adknight87,  man fstab and man mount will show most all options.. what one are you looking for?
juniour,  if the filesystem is currupted and was fscked. its posslbe the file got moved to /lost+found
Dr_willis: I changed locations of my swap. But it's on another drive so it needs to mount first which apparently it isn't doing.
mount first? first over what?
you have more then 1 swap partiion? you can set priorties for them
Ubuntu starts with the os hard drive with the os partition which is mounted the SSD that I have now is not mounted so I have to wait till after start up to manually swapon
where i will found /lost+found
Dr_willis where i will found /lost+found
juniour,  thats the full path..    /lost+found is in the root of your install.. ie:  "/"
ubuntu wont start
i cant go to ubuntu
That wasent your original problem.. you care to add any more details?
my ubuntu is not starting
use a live cd, mount your installed system. look for the file.
it may be in your users home. or in Lost+found on the filesystem of your installed system.
adknight87,  you could always put a swapon command in rc.local but ive never seen anyone need to do that.
Dr_willis ubuntu was insalled using wibi
in same partation as C
juniour,  then you could use a live cd, and mount by hand the wubi install 'virtualdisk' file.
Dr_willis: so where's this rc.local?
adknight87,  in /etc/
'locate rc.local'  is handy to rember. ;) for finding files
hi all
danke
um what exactly do I have to do for mounting a swap location in that xD
i dont know 'exactly' but you would boot the live cd. determine the file thats your wubi installed hd. and use the mount commands loop option to mount it. same as you would an iso file.
sudo mount -o loop /media/windows/pathtothewubiinstalledhdfile /media/mywubiinstall   (or similer)
then everything on that wubi install should be in /media/mywubiinstall
theres a Mounting Guide factoid.
xD DANKE
adknight87,  you said you had to use the swapon command for some reason.. you could run it from rc.loca
rc.local
I use UBUNTU live on flashpendrive
* Dr_willis is getting juniour  and adknight87s questions confused. ;)
When would the rc.local be ran?
adknight87,  its the last service to run.
I noticed
CF
xD
can I save any data on this flashpen?
live usb?
#!/bin/sh -e
swapon
exit 0
that right?
or a I completely an idiot
the live usb setup CAN have a persistant save file to allow you to save things as your user atmo_. also any free space on the flash can be accessed from widnows. since its on a vfat filesystem
adknight87,  thats about it. Its not rocket Surgery. ;)
Figured so. That a real op?
I'll be back with a report on whether it had worked or not.
be rather weird that rc.local wouldent work. :) i still have no idea why you need to do that command..
i have an external hd setup in the fstab, my problem is when the hd is unpluged the system won't boot, can't it be more tolerant?
asdf
roger21: probably shouldn't put it in the fstab if it's not always there
use the noauto option is one way
danke Dr_willis
how to change text color of non x user
clarify what you mean by that Rock
i want to change text color of non-graphical user
change it where? you mean the bash promopt?
yes
theres the 'bash prompt howto' that gives pages of examples of how to do fancy things like that...
is there any link for this?
* Dr_willis loves playing 20 questions to get to the real question...
Is there any tool that works under Ubuntu such as Visio ?
type in bash prompt howto in your browser..
should be at tldp.org or a dozen other sites
If it exists, does it work with vsd files that is generated by Visio in Windows?
i'll check
xD
The bash prompmt color changes also affect terminals in X..    ;P
i didnt get anything helpful in google for change text colour of text based user
o.o
Rock:https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CustomizingBashPrompt
Rock,  becayse you are wanting to change the BASH PROMPT
and its NOT specific to a 'text based user'
theres even some fancy bash 'themes' you can setup if you wanted to go hard core. with fancy prompts and other neat tricks
Any one can help ?
I had my bash looking like a snake
what is problem?
awaad: you were asking the visio question right?
awaad ??
adknight87: Yes
never used viso.. so no idea
awaad: install wine http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=119
dilshod, I asked if there is an alternative for Windows Visio Under Ubuntu?
where is nautilus pulling the mount options for ntfs drives from? I need the executable flag but I can't set it
What's meen visio question?
executable flag on ntfs/vfat can get real annoying.
the ntfs-config tool Might let you tweak it. or you could use a custome fstab entry for the ntfs filesystem to enable the executable option
Dr_willis: Visio is an application that runs under windows which is used for er diagram desing, Logical Diagrams, Call Flows, etc
awaad: you check out the link?
hmm.. not that factoid. ;)
adknight87: I am searching for an alternative to visio not how to install it under Ubuntu
awaad: sounds like a job for google
dun dun dun
https://www.lucidchart.com/pages/tour/visio_alternative
first hit for 'viso alterantive' ;)
wonders of the internet
awaad, check dia in softwarecentre, or Visual Paradigm (closed source, paid) or yED (free) http://www.yworks.com/en/products_yed_about.html
http://www.osalt.com/visio   lists several alterantives... 2nd google hit.
Kivio is part of the KOffice open source office suite. For flowcharting, network diagrams and all other graphing need Kivio solves them with an easy to user interface.
Read more at http://www.osalt.com/visio#qpVsHKUZEjA6aYgb.99
wonder if libreoffice dosent have somthing similer..  Ive not needed to do  such work in years
Dr_willis +1 for kivio
Dr_willis, adknight87, OerHeks, Does any application of those listed by you support vsd format generated by Visio ?
awaad,  all i did was read the first line of the descriptions basically. ;)
libreoffice draw is roughly similar, though not feature for feature
Hello, I currently have Ubuntu Studio installed on my hard disk (as LVM2 filetype) but the disk memory is full and I cannot load the operating system locally (I'm currently on a Lubuntu live CD) nor can I mount the partition/drive (there is only one partition on the hard disk).  GParted apparently does not support LVM2 and I was not able to mount the /dev/ubuntu-studio/root volume in Terminal either.  I need a way to access or
nicolenicole: try 'sudo apt-get install lvm2' while running the live CD
Hi there - ever since I installed Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, every executable that I run is generating a "gmon.out" file.  I'm not sure if the other users on the system installed GNU gprof or something - but it shouldn't be affecting every single program that I'm running.  Is there some way to address this?
lvm2 is already installed on the Lubuntu live CD
nicolenicole: in the terminal, do 'lvs' then
what is apache module for user_html setup?
ok it listed the volumes
the data is fine, the problem (I assume) is that the drive is full, there is 0% free memory on it
awaad, not sure, check it out yourself.
Could this be an issue with gcc?
nicolenicole: you were trying to mount the lvm partitions, right?
yes I cannot mount the local hard drive or any of the partitions or volumes on it
nicolenicole: and what happens when you try?
what is apache module for user dir html setup?
blackshirt: mod_userdir
sudo mount /dev/sda5 /mnt states that LVM2 is an unknown file type
nicolenicole: you can't mount that directly - you have to mount the lvm partition itself
nicolenicole: something like '/dev/mapper/lvmPartition'
sudo -i
apt-get install lvm2
modprobe dm-mod
vgchange -a y
:P
nicolenicole: http://www.linux-sxs.org/storage/fedora2ubuntu.html
sudo mount /dev/ubuntu-studio/root /mnt also gives error message
nicolenicole: note that adknight87's 'sudo vgchange -a y' may be necessary
nicolenicole: what is the message?
nicolenicole: you get the link?
wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/mapper/ubuntu--studio-root, missing codepage or helper program, or other error
yes I'll see what those steps do
kk
exact same error message
ubuntu-studio is the volume group, with root and swap_1 being the two volumes
nicolenicole look at your dmesg
dmesg?
hellojacob, may I create a script in ubuntu that is called with a link like callto:// or mailto://  from browser?
nicolenicole: even loading the module hadn't worked?
when using ubuntu as live usb hdd, the usb drive is mounted as /cdrom and therefore only readable. How can I write data to the usb drive in spite of?
I'm not sure?  it is not mounted
when I try to mount using file explorer, I get this: Error mounting /dev/dm-0 at /media/lubuntu/4371c113-fa26-41b2-9525-15045dac20de: Command-line `mount -t "ext4" -o "uhelper=udisks2,nodev,nosuid" "/dev/dm-0" "/media/lubuntu/4371c113-fa26-41b2-9525-15045dac20de"' exited with non-zero exit status 32: mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/mapper/ubuntu--studio-root,        missing codepage or helper program, 
same wrong fs type, etc. error
that shows in Terminal as well
did you vgchange -a y
no?
the page said modprobe dm-mod
oh yes
vgchange -ay ubuntu-studio
hey can anyone help me with http://askubuntu.com/questions/209605/cdc-acm-not-firing ?
activate all
the only thing I can think if is to copy the partition to a larger external hard drive, then extend the partition, would Ubuntu Studio work then if it is just a memory issue?
how to enter second disk?
GParted apparently can't do it, but Clonezilla supports LVM2
www.clonezilla.org
nicolenicole: memory = ram (not harddisk space)
Storage
is the term
would that work?  all I want is my files back, I can reinstall the OS after that
sorry, yes
RAM is fine
it is out of storage
shyrain: yes, #ubuntu-cn
So did you  sudo mount /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 /mnt/fcroot -o ro,user?
yes
I named it uroot but same thing
sudo mount /dev/ubuntu-studio/root /mnt/uroot -o ro,user
so do you think I can't mount because the drive is out of storage?  or could it have been corrupted somehow and the files are lost?
shyrain: /join #ubuntu-cn
nicolenicole: you might take a look at this in case it helps: http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/recover-bad-superblock-from-corrupted-partition/
You can do a zero fill
Chucrute301: nicolenicole is trying to recover data, not wipe her disk
hm, what is dumpe2fs ?
how can i add a vpn? it has a lock and i can't add anything
what does your fdisk -l show?
-l is not an option?
oh
nicolenicole: "-l" as in lowercase "L"
cannot open it says
nicolenicole: can you pastebin the full message?
Odd might be because Gparted is open
cannot open /dev/sda2 or sda5
anyone knows of an easy way to move the close-button to the right side of the windows?
Install windows
:)
Chucrute301: please stop trolling
Ok iam kidding
you can slide the open/close buttons around with the XFCE desktop settings
Theme options have left or right positions in gnome
yeah, I remember that... I restarted in xfce, and everything was on the left top side suddenly too, so it must have been theme related
Right
thanks llutz, adknight87 and nicolenicole
In gnome-shell :)
Iam not trolling now :D
i get "is not in the sudoers file" - how can i fix this?
GParted lists sda1 as the optical drive with the live CD, then sda2 as "extended" and sda5 as "lvm2 pv" with "ubuntu-studio" as the mount point, is that normal?  there is only one hard disk
Chucrute301, yeah but you didn't help, so I had to omit you in my giving-thanks-list ;P
patr|ck: "sudo adduser username sudo"   replace username with the user you want to have sudo rights
nicolenicole: sda1 would be the first partition on the first disk
Hi there, can someone help me with Ubuntu not recognizing my NVidia graphics cards?
I just updated the kernel and built a new kernel module, but the card is still not being recognized.
sda is the live CD for Lubuntu
*sda1
nicolenicole: no, that's not normal - /dev/sda is the hard disk
llutz, i already did that and i already had a re-log but no dice
patr|ck: "id username" gives "sudo" as group back?
I know shevy, no problem :)
Could this actually be a hardware issue? I am only seeing "nvidia1" in /dev
nicolenicole: so 'sudo fdisk -l' doesn't work?
I have to specify the disk
llutz, i am in the group sudo
it cannot open sda2 or sda5
patr|ck: what version are you using "lsb_release -sc"
It doesn't open anything nicole
llutz, 12.04 AMD64
nicolenicole: something's really not right about that
It prints out the drives
that's connected to the machine
fdisk -l /dev/sda5 --> Cannot open /dev/sda5
nicolenicole: gparted shows your partition layout
nicolenicole: just 'fdisk -l'
that doesn't do anything
ODD
nicolenicole: 'sudo fdisk -l' ?
nicolenicole: sudo fdisk -l
It's suppose to do something
patr|ck: "sudo grep \%sudo /etc/sudoers"
I didn't sudo
ok
llutz, yes
nicolenicole: can you pastebin that output?
I got output
I've been waiting on the pastebin
xD
how do i add bash...access thingy to a user
um I don't know how to copy from XTerm on Lubuntu live CD
patr|ck: yes what?
right click
when i login i don't have bash activated and i need to type in bash so i can start execiting commands via cli
any ideeas on how i can edit the user so it can navigate personaly?
Wiz_KeeD,  set the default shell for the user to be bash via 'chsh'
highlight text obviously and right click
how do i do that?
Wiz_KeeD,  how did you add the user? or is this on a vps?
Wiz_KeeD,  set the default shell for the user to be bash via 'chsh'  <------------- command is 'chsh' ;)
it doesn't do anything, there's no menu and no right-click and I can't screencapture or print screen apparently
Wiz_KeeD: sudo chsh -s /bin/bash username
thank you Dr_willis and llutz
hi, is there an easy way to manually download a package and all it's dependencies so I can burn it on a CD for someone?
nicolenicole,  with xterm, you can select, then middle click
ok so just enter pastebinit in Terminal?
nicolenicole: 'sudo apt-get install pastebinit' then 'sudo fdisk -l | pastebinit' should do it
patr|ck: "sudo grep \%sudo /etc/sudoers"     the output is what?
oddities with that livecd
Dr_willis, cool, but I am not on Ubuntu. I am on Debian. Is there an alternative?
gimme a min
Zathras,  no idea.. check in #debian
Zathras: aptoncd works on debian too
yikes ok I don't know what middle-clicking did but it didn't like it
is pastebinit a command to copy the previous output?
nicolenicole: middle-clicking simply pastes what you highlighted last
nicolenicole: no - it will send whatever you give it to a pastebin and return the URL
Giving fdisk -l to the pastebin
so do I enter "
is what you are doing
hi
nicolenicole: no quotes
"sudo fdisk -l pastebinit"
hi ?
nicolenicole: sudo fdisk -l | pastebinit
raven, hi
nicolenicole:  you need '|'
ok
aptoncd reads my apt archive which is Debian based. However I need for someone else Ubuntu packages. It seems I cannot select a different list of sources so that probably makes the tool useless for what I want to do?
it won't let me install pastebinit on the live CD
xD FAIL
nicolenicole: ok - so what happens when you try?
:)
it does say that Disk /dev/mapper/ubuntu--studio-oot doesn't contain a valid partition table
same for ubuntu--studio-swap_1
*studio-root
I'm thinking there's a mount mess up here
xubuntu 12.10: i have two panels on top. i set  the desktop settings so that maximized windowy have the right high but non maximized windws still hide half under the second panel. how to set the desktop borders right?
sudo su
dont use sudo su
password><123abc
i dont like !sudo
Ezio_Auditore: who cares
Ezio_Auditore,  use sudo -i if you need a root shell.
or  sudo -s  ;) i never can rember which one.
-k
:P
llutz my granfather care
Hi there, how do I prevent the desktop manager from starting at all?
he uses gentoo
I know how to stop it using "sudo service lightdm stop"
I'm running sudo apt-get update to see if I can get pastebinit that way
Dr_willis, thanks. :)
Sniffy,  the text mode keeps a DM from starting
Dr_willis, is the boot loader config in /boot/grub/grub.cfg or somewhere else?
One thing that has confused me over the years is that Ubuntu moves the config files around
nicolenicole: not trying to create another rabbit hole to go down - you could just use the lxde terminal emulator and copy/paste from there?
i think is sudo-s ;)
cant say ive notced them moveing
* yeats assumes that is installed there
Sniffy: you edit /etc/default/grub and run "update-grub" then. grub.cfg is not to be edited manually
What livecd is this anyways
ok got it: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1379505/
Python was out-of-date with the live CD
i have an external hd in the fstab, my problem is when the hd is unpluged the system won't boot, trying and trying again to mount it, can it be set-up to give up at some point?
sda5
llutz_, thank you. :)
nicolenicole: okay - that looks okay
yes as far as I can tell everything is fine except for the fact it doesn't mount :-p
My main issue is that I just updated the Linux kernel and my NVIDIA graphics cards are no longer being recognized.
I'm running this machine as a server and it's not connected to any monitors
Sniffy: what kernel version?
sdb and sdc are the two external hard drives I have plugged in
nicolenicole: can you do 'sudo mount /dev/mapper/ubuntu--studio-root /mnt/uroot' and pastebin the output?
ThinkT510, I upgraded from 3.2.0-29 to 3.2.0-33
same error as before
Think she should try mounting /dev/sda5
she/he who knows
it says unknown filesystem type LVM2_member
adknight87: that won't work - that's the disk containing the LVM volumes, not where the filesystem actually is
ThinkT510, I got it to create the device files by running "sudo nvidia-smi -a" following some forum instructions
I'm not sure what this actually did.
ciao
Sniffy: sorry, never heard of that
True I take that back the logical drive
xD
Sniffy: is this nvidia optimus?
nicolenicole: try 'sudo fsck /dev/mapper/ubuntu--studio-root' and see if that works?
ThinkT510, I don't think so.
* yeats steps away for a bit
error reading block 29944407 resulted in short read??
I'm running a Linux box with three cards and no attached monitors
xD just as he steps away
what is fsck?
dh_make is broken. It installed files I'm trying to make a package out of.
jinx
I want a dr pepper
hm
so maybe the drive is corrupted on that block?
nicolenicole: Why are you doing this through livecd again?
because I can't mount the local drive?
Ubuntu Studio won't load
I just want my files back then I can format and reinstall the OS
xubuntu 12.10: i have two panels on top. i set  the desktop settings so that maximized windowy have the right high but non maximized windws still hide half under the second panel. how to set the desktop borders right?
do you think I could use Clonezilla to copy the partition to a larger hard drive and get my files back that way?
How would I apply a patch file? I'm facing a bug in python and there's a patch file for it on the bug report. What's my next step or what should I google for?
patch
nicolenicole: If your system doesn't load that in the first place. Transferring it over to another drive might not do much but prolong the problem of actually accessing whats on the partition
Meaning something went wrong.
JustSighDudes: the app is called patch
fsck says the drive was not cleanly mounted
*unmounted
it's giving me a series of messages saying that Mozilla Firefox has a bunch of incorrect filetypes apparently
fsck is saying that?
yes
Oddities
I'm hitting yes on clearing the entries, they're files in the Firefox cache
Hmm.. fsck just checks the filesystem for errors.. it dosent scan filetypes and so forth...
help with bumblebee, I really only care about power savings. have a new dell xps 14 ultrabook. installed bumblebee view this post: http://bit.ly/rQR1Xb - rebooted but lsmod doesn't show bbswitch module. no bbswitch module under /etc/modprobe.d/ - this is the module that turns off the nvidia card for power savings. why did it not load and how can i load it?
Oh its saying the FILES are bad. ;)
fsck works on lvm?
apparently....
Lubuntu doesn't have Firefox, these are all on the hard drive which I can't mount
fresh install of 12.4 and when i open /etc/fstab in nano, it says its a converted mac format
what gives?
ok it is done, says file system was modified, 1.3% non-contiguous
what does that mean?
how do I pastebinit the text in the previous command?
So it finished?
nicolenicole: try to mount again
yes how do I pastebinit the fsck?
riegersn, what does , cat /proc/acpi/bbswitch , output ?
nicolenicole: you'd have to copy/paste manually
I'd like to copy the changes that were made
oh
never mind then lol
xD
File recovery is so much fun
BluesKaj, cat: /proc/acpi/bbswitch: No such file or directory
ooh!  I think it mounted, lemme check
YES!
omg
nicolenicole: excellent
fsck saved the day, thank you sooo much whoever gave me that line to try
riegersn, did you sudo modprobe bbswitch to ,load the module ?
wasn't me
nicolenicole: now I would backup everything, then try deleting some things to see if you can boot again afterwards
ok gotta back up my files and format and reinstall without LVM2
nicolenicole: you're welcome ;-)
ll
and this time make a partition for my download manager, I accidentally left it running and filled up the drive :-(
BluesKaj, no it didn't say it in the instructions i was reading. and I read that you can't load it if the nvidia card is already off. so i wasn't sure of what to do
thanks yeats
:-D
riegersn, run the command
 irc://irc.explosionirc.net/kalispera
BluesKaj, ah crap: FATAL: Module bbswitch not found.
what gives i installed everything it said to install
riegersn, that's probly the wrong module name
is there a command line to copy and paste all the text inside the Terminal?
select all?
kidding
don't type that
nicolenicole, sunder edit selectall , copy
Ctrl doesn't work, and you said pastebinit doesn't do that?
"sunder edit selectall copy"
Edi -> Select All -> Copy
*Edit
:P
under edit select all , then right click and copy
there is no menu on Lubuntu live CD XTerm
or right-clicking, I need a command line
you try going to the top of the actual desktop
oh you're using console?
there's a menu there?
no terminal?
no
it's LXDE live CD, very basic
a terminal/console is pretty basic , that's strange
heh, lxterminal
xD
hi all, I have tried google chrome on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS and still can not get Youtube video to play, it says "missing plugin"
can anyone help?
go with chromium-browser
I thought someone mentioned last time to go for Chrome, not chromium as chromium does not have the right plugins for this
?
Works just fine for me.
oh, ok I will give it a try then, both chrome and firefox both do not work for me
opieng: You need the Flash plugin
Have you installed it that's the question
For which browser theadmin ?
opieng: apt:adobe-flashplugin?section=partner
vlt, ahh I might have the same problem my CPU is very old
sudo apt-get install adobe-flashplugin
lol same processor as mine but I think mine is the 2300
opieng: sudo apt-get install adobe-flashplugin
opieng: Ok, then it really might be the same problem.
u need flash player
I have installed sensord and lm-sensors ... I cant get sensord to update its rrd file ... it creates it but never puts any data in it... what could be wrong?
fresh install of 12.4 and when i open /etc/fstab in nano, it says its a converted mac format
what gives?
so would sudo apt-get install adobe-flashplugin still work for me?
Well try it and find out
sorry will do I am not at that system at the moment adknight87
opieng: This installs the last Flash version from Adobe that supports linux. Some Flash websites might not work.
youtube works
opieng: (Adobe dropped linux after Flash 10.2)
vlt, oh!
vlt: 11.2
vlt, so what did you do to get youtube working?
as sounds like I might have the same problem as you
opieng: I use HTML5.
vlt, never used that
hi
youtube.com/html5
opieng: ^
ciao
buonasera
thanks vlt
is there a commnd to set the system back to defaults?
WeThePeople, depends on what you want to reset

Hello
how can i active fn+f3 (wifi) key in ubuntu?
Hey guys, My 12.10 setup is too slow on boot.. Can anyone suggest something ?
NetGhost: That is hardware specific. which machine are you using ?
dragonfly, acer aspire 5742zg
NetGhost: "rfkill list wifi"
NetGhost: does it show something blocked?
llutz, err i am not in ubuntu now i have no access there to internet without wifi.
ubottu: I did, It shows the average boot time ~110 seconds and then it takes a while to log in from GDM screen to desktop. approx 20-30 seconds
llutz, i am using windows and acers official software for fn keys etc (launch manager)
hai friends.., how can i install turboC
dragonfly: Also, if you still have a lot of daemons which are not converted to Upstart yet, you can put a one-time option of:  profile    at the kernel load line in GRUB and it will try to optimize those for the subsequent boots.
genni-around: any more help ?
what's the difference between fglrx and fglrx-updates ?
dragonfly, disable IPv6 can save boottime, it did 9 sec for me
llutz, dragonfly the wifi is broadcom bcm94... something
llutz, funny thing is i cant even do ifconfig wlan0 up. It doesnt get detected at allow
not found in ifconfig
OerHek: How do I disable IPv6 ?
NetGhost: boot ubuntu, get exatct chipset, get "rfkill list" status, come back
last url, dragonfly
How do I add new themes to ubuntu 12.10? I used to be able to go to gnome-look.org and download/install but now everything seems to not work. Do they come through the package manager? a  common ppa? can anyone give me a simplified method for finding/adding new themes to the latest ubuntu? Thanks
http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/
adknight87: Either I'm too tired or it's not there, but I don't see it explained anywhere there
use the search
hi, how do I know what DISPLAY is running so as to interact from the command line?
it's something like 0:0? but where is the variable sitting?
shojo, echo $DISPLAY
well it's not my terminal
compiz crashed you see
I mean I ssh'ed in from another achine
but I want to restart compiz and not kill my stuff :D
optimus55, ubuntu-tweak is able to add themes, if they are gnome3 compatible,
or even better, get rid of it and put something else in it's place
but meanwhile...
hehe
OerHeks: Thanks i'm downloading now, looks good
is there something that i can reliably use to record audio from one mic and video from a webcam to the same thign?
how can i disable unity-greeter from having the same background as the one set in user session?
Chamunks, ffmpeg
hi. im having a trouble with wireless on my ubuntu laptop. the wireless is working it just doesnt see my wlan essid here at home. mint. slackware.arch and every other sees it. just not ubuntu
escott, i cant move to a diff workspace
and the close and minimize buttons are not at the top of the window
Kowalczyk: What frequency band and standard is the AP using?
Hello, I enabled the apparmor profile for firefox. I want to log all new created files, but the actual log (despite audit mode) does only show in which folders changes are made, but not the name of the changed or created files)
WeThePeople, close min max are at the top panel.
oerheks, no not there
TJ-: 2.437GHz channel 6. it stands on automatic. if I change channel the network is unstable.
i was using grep yesterday so i think it has to do with that
WeThePeople, only when the window is focus
How to use apparmor for logging changed files?
oerheks, idk what you mean
why does nano say "(Converted from Mac format)" when I open my fstab file?
Kowalczyk: I'm just checking the obvious things first, bear with me! Is the AP using 40MHz channels (HT a.k.a. 802.11n) ?
its set on 20Mhz
its default
chick3n: never seen that before, have you edited it with anything else?
dcherniv, i mean something that isn't going to take 6 hours to figure out some functioning syntax via the command line
Kowalczyk: OK, so unlikely to be a 'n' thing then. Is the SSID hidden?
no its nok
 /msg NickServ identify 55564#k0
ThinkT510, nope. brand new install on a formatted drive.
dcherniv, I've got my grandma's funeral in an hour or two and I gotta figure out how by then.
nino__, time to change pass
if I change channel to something static I find it but then I get disconencted every other minutes
this just happen in ubuntu /
:/
Kowalczyk: At the terminal do you get any result from "sudo iwlist wlan0 scan" (assuming the interface is called wlan0)
Chamunks, vlc should be pretty easy
LMAO
 /msg NickServ identify <55564#k0>
 
d
wd
w
wdw
d
TJ-: no. doesnt show up
WeThePeople, unless you messed up something, the current window on your desktop, in focus, will show min max close and file/edit/ etc menu
Kowalczyk: I'm hot on this - I spent the entire morning reconfiguring my hostapd 802.11n into n-mode and checking it from the laptop that has an Intel 4965abgn card.
FAIL
adknight87, no need for that
TJ-: so no go... was the same with 12.04
Kowalczyk: Is the WLAN card PCI or USB?
its internal
I<3U bazhang
adknight87, please stop with the nonsense
oerheks, yeah it doesnt show min max close or file etc..
Kowalczyk: Can you check this for me to find its PCI ID: "lspci -nn | egrep -i '(net|eth|wire)'
25:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM43224 802.11a/b/g/n (rev 01)
dcherniv, the complicated bit is audio is from one thing video is from the other.
helping should be fun
Kowalczyk: That's great... now do it again with "lspci -nn" so we can see the PCI Vendor:Product ID :)
Those Broadcoms are notoriously horrible
Chamunks, in media->open capture device vlc lets you pick video and audio device separately
genii-around: And don't we know it! :s
hmm get error on that command
anyway: 25:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Broadcom Corporation BCM43224 802.11a/b/g/n [14e4:4353] (rev 01)
Kowalczyk: great thanks, let me do a quick bit of research
it works on other places.. work. parents in law. just not at home :/
hi. Which video-editor do you think is the best and most complete for linux? What do you think about Cinerella ?
dcherniv, Ok thats working so far.
how do i discover the address of the proper mic
faLUCE, openshot
is there somewhere i ca ngrab a default sshd_config?
Kowalczyk: Are you trying to set up hostapd with dhcpd?
adknight87: no? im trying to connect to my wlan :D
but it cant find my wlan essid
it just doesnt show up
dcherniv, also thank you very much for your level of directness its very very appreciated right now.
Kowalczyk: does your wifi pick anything up?
yes. all my neighbours wifi essid`s
:P
Are you sure your wifi is enabled on your router
Kowalczyk: What's the driver? bcrmsmac ?
yes
to adknight87
ofc. every other device in the house uses it
TJ-: hmmm. not sure.. or bwl
bazhang: do you think is it better (more complete + supported) than cinerella?
double check
Kowalczyk: try lspci -nnvv | grep -A 15 'BCM'
faLUCE, try it.
Kowalczyk: Is the router configured to broadcast essid?
yes
usr13: Yes. and other installations work on the same PC - its' only Ubuntu 12.10 apparently, on 802.11g channel 6
TJ-: http://pastebin.com/72a1yR7U
and 12.04
didnt try the other releases
Chamunks, no problem. i've been there myself.
debian. slack. arch works
Kowalczyk: And after multiple samplings, you only see other essids?
yes
interesting
dcherniv, anything I should set in the advanced options at all besides ratio?
if I set a manual channel... I can find it.. but then its drops, on, drop,on,drop and stuff
Kowalczyk,  sudo ifconfig wlan0 up , then , sudo iwlist wlan0 scan|grep -i essid
nothing
hi all. How do i update by rabbitcvs from 1.6 to 1.7 version of SVN?
TJ-: What would channel 6 have to do with it?  OR, a combination of 802.11g and channel 6?  Sounds a bit far fetched, not sure what could do that - I'd like to know....
im now like 10 cm away from the router as well
:P
dcherniv, I'll have two seperate audio feeds on the target machine and I don't know how to find audio device addressing.
usr13: Eh? I was just ensuring you knew the configuration Kowalczyk is dealing with
Kowalczyk: Can you manually make the connection?
nope
ive tried
Reboot the router?
Kowalczyk, sudo modprobe BCM
have tried
also reset it
Kowalczyk: The "wl" driver is the Broadcom proprietary driver; did you try the Linux-included brcmsmac previously?
module bcm not found
it uses the wl
TJ-: no
Kowalczyk: sudo iwconfig essid "My-Essid" ; sudo iwconfig key "my-key" ; dhclient wlan0
sudo dhclient wlan0
Kowalczyk: I'm assuming you installed the proprietary driver using the package bcmwl-kernel-source ?
Chamunks, arecord -l
I just get unknow command when I use essid
TJ-: yes
same with key
Kowalczyk: When you do  "sudo iwlist wlan0" is your LAN's essid not listed?
Hello, i got a problem with my laptop i cant access its wifi. I do fn+f3 to enable wifi in windows but in ubuntu it doesnt work.
ifconfig doesnt display wlan0
usr13: right
Kowalczyk:  My commands were wrong.
I'm trying to connect to mysql but getting Database error: SQLSTATE[HY000] [2002] Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2)
TeraQuibbler, iwconfig
Kowalczyk: sudo iwconfig wlan0 essid "My-Essid" ; sudo iwconfig wlan0 key "my-key" ; sudo dhclient wlan0
BluesKaj: says no wireless
TeraQuibbler,  you may need to install some drivers for it. try to determine its chipset.  lspci    should show some info about it
I just get invalid argument
where wlan0 is your WiFi designation. (I dono if that is it or not.)
its wpa2
usr13: "iwconfig key" only supports WEP-keys, for WPA(2) you need wpasupplicant
but I have to go now.. will come back later tonight. thanks for the help so far. will be back later
Dr_willis: I did rfkill list it says: 0: acer-wireless: Wireless LAN  Soft blocked:no Hard blocked:no
Dr_willis: it was softblocked before but i did rfkill unblock all
llutz_: Please correct my suggested commands as needed....
dcherniv, http://paste.ubuntu.com/1379732/ is what I get back
llutz_: But I do not know what he has, and so it is all hypothetical...
hello
Hello
im just install xubuntu 12.04 and very happy ) is nice
want to make an emergengy USB bootable Knoppix, downloaded Unetbootin on Ubuntu, but it asks for distro [Knoppix is not there] - anybody able to tell me best selection?
Chamunks, where the sound is coming from?
Producer usb
Can someone please paste output of dumpe2fs -h /dev/disk so I can compare with mine? When I do it I see under Maximum count time: -1 WTF? -1? What is going on?
Kowalczyk: I would suggest truning off encryption until you get it figured out.  It'll make things simplier.
llutz: any idea?
dcherniv, Producer Usb mic
Chamunks, so your device should be hw:3,0
what video card in yours pc's?
dcherniv, and beside the play button theres that down arrow button and in there it says stream should i click that?
Did somebody have Radeon  with dualgraphics?
Chamunks, do you want to save the stream?
dcherniv, preferrably
Chamunks, then use convert option
Chamunks, stream is for live local network/internet streaming
thx
Chamunks, test the setup with play first to make sure you get sound
dcherniv, the most exciting part is that its only listing hw:0 hw:1
dcherniv, in vlc wohoo! :P
Chamunks, hm go into tools preferences audio
mhmm
Chamunks, poke around there see whats listed under output modules
dcherniv, I've got pulse audio and alsa on the target machine
but in that list I do see the option for the mic
Chamunks, hmm. try to type in audio device name hw:3,0
Chamunks, open terminal: alsamixer  ( and press F6 to select soundcard, maybe mic shows up)
dcherniv, not that easy its a list box :P
Chamunks, i just did
alsamixer usually recognizes it
hello all! i have an issue with firefox 17.0 in precise after an update. the horizontal scroll was set for navigating back and forward and it no longer works. now in the about:config  http://picpaste.com/pics/YgazIkzW.1353683014.png the types are all strings and they need to be; integer, integer, boolean, respectively but only user created preferences can be deleted. could someone point me in the right direction to delete these default prefere
nces and recreate them properly?
ok_wait: /join #firefox
ok_wait,  right click and set default
hehe... ok_wait is a cool nick :)
How can I check which process is using my internet bandwidth?
shevy: Yea, uless we need to say ok, wait ... ;)
so i'm having problems with 12.04 and an nvidia card - tried about 8 billion different solutions, are there any good suggestions for me as far as current driver, wm, etc?
Daekdroom,  lsof
* ok_wait what?
Chamunks, what chip is listed in alsamixer ?
usr13, :/ thanks i didn't see that in the list
BluesKaj, its actually showing up when i plug it into the laptop
I don't know why i was trying it on my desktop thats not the machine that I'll be recording on.
johndoe88, the default setting for these are blank fields
Daekdroom: tcpdump
Chamunks, you figured it out?
Chamunks, in alsamixer , use the F5 key to show all the controls including mic and line inputs , make sure they aren't muted (MM)
BluesKaj, the Capture one is the one im looking for yes?
BluesKaj, its looking unmuted
00?
it was
now im getting errors opening v4l2:///dev/video0 and video1 unable to open mrl check log for details with no details on log location.
Does anyone know how to boot from cd on ubuntu?
tobias____, set in bios
I turned off my comp and when its restarted i  pressed f12 and etc
how do i do that bazhang?
BluesKaj, its because I had it set to ntsc turning that off to undefined made it all better
tobias____, depends, hit the appropriate key (esc is common) and get in there and set to boot from CD first
tobias____, once you're in ubuntu, you've already booted
f2
so hit restart and while its loading press  f2 or esc?
del
tobias____, bootoptions, and some bios-es needs to configure bootdevice too
what's the make and model of your computer tobias____ ?
sony vpcea46fm
sec
it was f12 when i ran windows but that doesnt seem to do the trick now
tobias____: should be the same.
its not
tobias____: Installing another OS does not change bios
Sometimes you have to just shut down completely to get that few seconds to get into the Bios
why woudlnt it go into bios then?
tobias____: You must be mistaken
tobias____, it's either delete or f2
im going to try delete or f
2
thanks guys
hey, i had problems with my ATI driver on ubuntu 12.10 like 1-2 weeks ago. Is it neccecary to install linux-generic-header etc?
my card is HD6850
question: I'm logged in as root and I give rw permission to a folder. But when I restart ubuntu its gone how can make it permanent?
Heather_: You must be trying to change a folder which is actually some mounted partition, or else another whose permissions are set each boot, like /dev or /sys or so on
yes thats true
its a mounted partition
Anyone know how to use wget or curl to download from a cloud server that requires authentication?
Espnu, never blindly copy and paste commands into your terminal http://askubuntu.com/questions/216303/ubuntu-12-10-graphics-driver-shows-gallium-0-4-instead-of-intel-hd
How come I can't select the updates from the update manager?
ok_wait, well i already did it now. now i wish to return back to the original state tho.
any suggestion?
what was the command?
sudo apt-get install linux-headers-generic
and
sudo apt-get install linux-source
headers's didn't get properly installed because of read-only errors
neither of those packages will hurt but i don't think you'll need the linux-source unless you plan to compile your own linux kernel
did you say apt-get update before installing them?
nah, but i updated my computer just before.
xubuntu 12.10: i have two panels on top. i set  the desktop settings so that maximized windowy have the right high but non maximized windws still hide half under the second panel. how to set the desktop borders right?
i've never seen a read only error. can you paste the output in pastie.org and paste that link here

What's wrong?
i tried apt-get install linux-headers-generic yes
good morning, I am trying to install ubuntu on a PCIe SSD. it shows up as two 120GB drives when i install. i have tried installing to both sda and sdb writing grub to either, but when i reboot, i get 'unknown filesystem'
no the  'sudo dpkg --configure -a'
yea, i did
says so in copy&paste ;)
ThinkT510 how to specify
SirShmoopy: is it OCZ RAID kind drive?
oh ok i see it lol
idk man when was the last time you rebooted?
mike_papa, yes i believe so
mins ago
should i try that?
raven: perhaps a screenshot would help
havent rebooted after i tried installing
it is an OCZ, it was advertised as 240GB but shows as two 120's
SirShmoopy: propably there is no driver for this RAID controller in Ubuntu. That will be hard to install it on this drive.
SirShmoopy: I had same issue with OCZ Revo X2. It showed as 4 drives, but 12.10 deals with it great.
Espnu, http://www.google.com/search?client=ubuntu&channel=fs&q=unable+to+open+%2Fvar%2Flib%2Fsudo%2F+read+only+filesystem+dpkg&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8
mike_papa, does that mean i wouldnt be able to install on a single 120?
SirShmoopy: You can try to split those drives in OCZ utility at boot, and see if you can use them as two separate drives. I'm not sure. I never tried it.
SirShmoopy: but keep in mind, you're loosing almost half of performance that is advertised.
ok, installed a new kernel, rebooted the system, no more nvidia :(
my ubuntu is becomes slow
mike_papa, im going to find my box, i dont rememebr any discs and i dont see any prompts during POST
i'll try a reboot, doubt my disk is failing
tapas, quite likely if it was compiled for a different kernel version
vlc playing slow video
SirShmoopy: If it's RAID drive, made by OCZ for better performance, it should have it's own boot prompt.
grzywacz: well, the kernel updates from ubuntu worked flawlessly previously...
Espnu, you can check the smart status with palimpsest
or 'disk utility'
i'll setup grub to let me choose the kernel on boot..
SirShmoopy: Your BIOS is probably assembling the array (FakeRAID), which since Ubuntu installed separately to one drive, isn't actually a valid array. You're probably getting the first stripe of the first disk, and thus a valid grub MBR+embedded area, but the rest of the aray is invalid and thus grub can't read any data from the filesystem.
grzywacz: i even sudo apt-get install nvidia-current --reinstall
didn'\t help
tapas, ok. That doesn't happen often. :-) Any error messages in Xlogs or som such? What happens if you try to modprobe nvidia manually?
Jordan_U: I belive he's trying to install Ubuntu, so it's not installed yet. OCZ makes it's PCIe drives as cards with 2 or 4 separate drives with own RAID0 controller on board.
no_wait it found something wrong with partitions at restart, now it works :)
just curious if i should remove the headers/source now
grzywacz: FATAL: Module nvidia_current not found.
Jordan_U: before 12.10 I found no way to access them at all. Separately, or joined.
grzywacz: i guess it's because it's maybe the lowlatency kernel..
grzywacz: let's see..
hi
0ohai
tapas: I'm not sure if there is a linux-headers  package for lowlatency  , but nvidia-current usually needs them to build the module with dkms
i'm trying to instal DIA on ubuntu 11.10 via aptget ... however, I'm seeing an error message: WARNING: The following packages cannot be authenticated!
  dia-common libart-2.0-2 dia-libs dia gsfonts-x11
sorry for length of text
is it ok to download this package regardless of the warnings?
genii-around: ok..
genii-around: booted into a generic kernel.. trying to reinstall nvidia-current now..
felipe_Brz: you always should import the repos signing-key before using those packages
tapas: Ah, apparently, there is.   Did you have packages:   dkms  build-essential and linux-headers-lowlatency     installed before installing nvidia-current  ?
felipe_Brz: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-keyring          for the standard repos. if you use 3rd party stuff, get their gpg-keys
thank you mike_papa, Jordan_U. i'm going to try another reboot with a 12.10 disc and see if anything changes
llutz_:  ah thank you very much
genii-around: nope.. but i reinstalled nvidia for my generic kernel and it works now.. will try with the -lowlatency kernel again, too
SirShmoopy: yw
llutz_:  hmm.. i did that and still I got the same warning
hmm, my attempt at configuring grub to show me a menu failed.. so the onlyu way was to uninstal the lowlatency kernels ;D
should i use apt-get or aptitude?
tapas, 'modprobe nvidia' didn't work, right?
so?
grzywacz: no. not with the lowlatency kernel. i fixed it in this generic kernel though.. installed kernel headers and now will reboot into it
tapas: For grub , edit /etc/default/grub      so that you have GRUB_DEFAULT=0     and  GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT=0  and  GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT_QUIET=true      in there. Then  sudo update-grub    and also doing   sudo update-initramfs -u     can't hurt
hello good morning all
roger21: read, understand, decide
i don't understand
roger21, use apt-get
am i concerned?
ok
genii-around: grzywacz: adding the lowlatency kernel headers did the trick..
tapas: Good :-)
genii-around: yep, found that out, too ;D now i have the problem that i disabled usb legacy support in my bios at one time (since i had some peripherals trouble)
but the grub menu shows a single entry "Ubuntu" anyways..
so that's useless ;D
i guess it needs more setup..
i guess i have to reset my bios settings to be able to reenable legavcy USB support since i don't have a PS/2 keyboard anymore ;D
hola
hoya!

Hello
Is there bactrack repository i can enable in ubuntu to use backtrack apps?
TeraQuibbler, no.
TeraQuibbler, i installed backtrack 5 r2 then added the ubuntu repos to upgrade to precise. once you do this you won't receive updates from backtrack
ok_wait: i didnt understand. You installed backtrack 5r2 (which is based on 10.04 ubuntu) and upgraded to ubuntu 12?
TeraQuibbler, that's correct
ok_wait: and if do this i wont get the new apps that come from backtrack?
TeraQuibbler, that's correct as well
ok_wait: then whats the point of this. You installed backtrack for its apps, if you wanted ubuntu you would install plain ubuntu.
i wanted backtrack but i didn't want it to always run in root and i didn't want it to look like backtrack
ok_wait: but now you got outdated apps
that's ok with me
i got what i wanted from it
ok_wait: Is it impossible got both repos?
yes
too many problems
ok_wait: btw you could just create a normal user for bt, i did that in the past for casual uses.
yea i did that
this is an everyday use machine so i wanted the everyday use repositories. i don't do pentesting every day
ok_wait: Basically the solution i found to avoid dualbooting of everyday distro and pentest distro is using gentoo. Gentoo allows you to enable the overlay of gentoo-based distro (pentoo) which has as many pentesting apps as backtrack. So everytime you upgrade you get the latest gentoo apps and the latest pentoo apps. (If some app is common in them, the newest is chosen)
if i ever wanted to upgrade to bt5 r3 or r4 i would leave the home partition un-formated and format / for bt the add the repos for ubuntu again
ok_wait: also you can enable gentoo-hardened kernel and confguration to have a safe system on top of that
i'll keep that in mind. there are other defaults that come with bt (scripts etc.) that i wanted as well
ok_wait: anyway i am off. I think for your case gentoo would work wonders. (And you have to compile max 5 minutes a day if there is an upgrade)
anyone here know a bit about apt-file ?  like I want to clean everything and get it all again apt-file purge && apt-file update ?
ok_wait: i think they got them too. Some people in pentoo channel are the same as backtrack. They just wanted a more customisable distro than plain backtrack.
ubuntu using laptops don't utilize battery as well as windows 7 . is there any way to fix this??? please somebody help me....
Hey there, what's up with the Linux clipboard? When I copy HTML tables from web pages, they just come out as single columns with newlines when I paste them into text.

brightness *
but when battery at 100% shows after some time shows 97% and then 88%.. battery power suddenly drops down
xdggfsd
sfdf
sudhin, first off, did you check your actual battery health?
Reset your battery display... I know how to do it in windows, but not ubuntu.
sudhin, i had this issue with a two-year-old battery, it died a few weeks back.  :P
sudhin,  thats what happens when you use your battary . what is health of it and did you change brightness ?

is it safe to repartition win7 ntfs partition or i lose data?
Cong: dd has no permission. If you know what you do, try sudo dd
mike_papa, that's what I did.
TeraQuibbler: it's never safe to repartition.
NVM that did work
Cong: no you used sudo echo
Cong: you did sudo echo, not dd
Cong: the sudo ends at the |
Okay.
Cong: after | should be sudo dd...
and how "sudo chroot" can give me "chroot: failed to run command `/bin/bash': Permission denied" error? Shouldn't command run with sudo have all permissions?
billbill,  what is "this" app ?
i just want to change the appearance in gnome
evidunna??
i dont really know how i am very new
billbill,  you have gone to Dash ->settings -> appearance
billbill,  Dash is what you see after pressing the Ubuntu button or bfb
in the launcher the top one ^^
billbill, in the terminal it is called   "gnome-control-pannel "
where should I place my .sql file if I want to import it manually to my database?
is this place acceptable for mdadm advice
Heather_,  ~/    ?
Heather_,     mysql -h DBHOST -u DBUSER -pDBPASS DBNAME < /home/username/data.sql
Heather_,  make sure that  -p  and the password have no white space
it said not found when i added to terminal
gnome-control-panne
-p pass  << wrong     -ppass  << right
Heather_,  ^^
Hello
my bad billbill  "gnome-control-center"
I am trying to create a new array with mdadm. I had an old array. I did mdadm --stop; did zero-superblovk and even overwrote the MBR of each partition with dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/XYZ bs=512 count=1. So how does creating a new array (--assume-clean), result in the partitions being recreated?
Why does my machine generate pcl for printing slower than when it runs XP.
hello.  i was wondering if anyone knew if it was possible to modify mountall to accept a new type of storage?
i want to add a new storage type to the fstab and i think mountall was the thing i needed to modify
billbill,  backaground of what ?
noob2: What exactly do you need to do?
usr13: i'm trying to add ceph rbd devices to the fstab
i'm pretty sure it won't understand how to mount it on startup
I'm pretty sure I don't know what ceph or rbd devices are.
they are network mounted block devices
has anyone in here experience dnsmasq performance issues since upgrading to 12.10?  For some reason there are two dnsmasq processes (one run as nobody, the other as dnsmasq)  The processes take up 80% cpu when performing a DNS query. It makes my apparent latency on the internet ridiculously slow
there's a kernel module that understands how to map the devices
any bind gurus online?
it looks like the 'nobody' one is being spawned by networkmanager, while perhaps the other one is a system service
how to set up other Ubuntu computer so that I can get to it from lightdm ?
ahhhh it is vnc
any of you setup a bind dns slave server before?
i've never heard of a slave server
TheLordOfTime,  so I just set up tight and then I should be able no thta is not right wherre do config files go then ?  or ip is uname and if so how to log in a a user ?
bobweaver, i never set up VNC, you may want to just read the documentation
TheLordOfTime,  In lightdm login menu for 12.10
digadvan: Might get better response for that one in #ubuntu-server
ok_wait, it a dns term.. typically your secondary dns server is setup as a slave
ok
thanks
is possible to use unity seach and lenses with kde ?
i love unity search - tomboy, web hostory , and documents :)
togetrer
ah
does anybody knows an alternative to hideman vpn for ubuntu?
grek2,  short answer no long answer yes once kde is ported or intagrated with qml and not QT
grek2,  widgets  for now
it's a simple vpn manager, let's you connect to the internet masked as coming from several countries in a very easy and simple way
widget witch search ? ok im search
great
konam: sort of like tor but not really?
hi. I'm trying to create a tar backup of folders. I'm using "find -maxdepth 1 -mindepth 1 -type d -exec /bin/tar -zcvf today.tar.gz {} \;" but it's only archiving the last directory in the list
how i can firn somethink about widgets ? (lens for kde)
devral, i think there's a #bash
okay thanks
grek2,  they are not "lens" you can ask in #kbunutu
hi, does anyone know why i get this error when trying to transfer files to my galaxy nexus (MTP device) in rhythmbox under ubuntu 12.10? "Unable to send file to MTP device: PTP Layer error 02fe: get_storage_freespace(): could not get storage info."
ok :)
Erik_D i haven't used tor because it seems that the focus of it it's anonimity not the masking of your IP to any specific country (although it does that randomly i presume)
its pity to tomboy is not in default repo
is best lens :)
but best when work togetrer lens is grat at all :)
konam: So what exactly are you trying to accomplish?
grek2,  #kubuntu   sorry about the miss type
Erik_D mask my ip as if it was coming from another country, UK, or NL, or germany, you name it
konam: Can you just use a proxy site?
Erik_D no, i need the web browser to behave "normally", usually this sited disable things that won't let me use this other site i'm trying to access efficiently
konam: Tor can do that: http://www.ghacks.net/2008/01/29/configure-tor-to-use-a-specific-country-as-an-exit-node/
usr13: so would you know where i could start to add a new filesystem mount into the fstab?
fstab=?
doomlord: i'm looking to add a new type of network mount to the fstab
since ubuntu has teamed up with ceph maybe they're already working on this and i can leave it to them.  i'm not sure
is it a list of places that get mounted on startup or something
sort of.  i'm looking to have it mount ceph rbd devices
Hello all. When I rebooted my 11.10 desktop my w TB drive is not showing up in fdisk. I can go to the drive listed on the left but if I go to the mount it says there is nothing in it. Can someone help?
it'll need something like mountpoint, monitor ip addr, pool, device name
noob2: I know how to make a fstab entry, but I do not know what ceph or rbd devices are.  Do you have either one mounted now? If so, mount | pastebinit
i recall having to mess somewhere to get networking  with windows, but prefer the solution of not running windows now
will do
This has happened in the past but when I reboot it has been fine
usr13: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1380015/  last entry
this is a little more clear: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1380021/
shows more info about it
this shows exactly  how rbd's are mounted: http://ceph.com/docs/master/rbd/rbd-ko/
when i reboot the computer it says that "The disk drive for /home/nanette/Titan is not ready yet or is not present." Continue to wait, or Press S to skip mounting or M for manual recovery.
xpistos: S to skip
something in your fstab is missing upon boot
noob2: yes, when I skip it boots, but that puts me where I am now. I will pastebin my fstab real quick if someone can tell me what I am missing.
noob2: So how is this device mounted now?
hi there
is  "added value on the internet" a good sentence?
thank you Erik_D i'll check that out
JohnFlux, no
Johnnie71, no sorry
Johnnie71: thats.... not a sentence at all. nor is that question relevant to #ubuntu
the drive is mounted using the UUID but the mount is using the /dev/sdd1
Johnnie71: Missing subject
Hrm, why not? @alecjw you are right but I couldnt find an offtopic channel

Hello I'm new to ubuntu. Ran into a boot up issue with my mint. Out of frustration I am using ubuntu to look into reparing it. But I am having so much fun with unity that I am reconsidering switching to ubuntu. Just one question. Can the start button on ubuntu be changed?
ubuntu__, no.
Johnnie71: #defocus
a
Cong, really. That sucks. Thought there was a way to change that
alecjw: thanks
ubuntu__, if there was a way what would you have it changed to?
Cong, just icons. Like the Mortal kombat symbol for a mortal kombat theme lol
and when I try sudo fdisk -l sdd isn't listed
ubuntu__, somethings are just not meant to be change.
usr13: basically I setup a ceph.conf file which points to a monitor machine.  i then say rbd map test1 --pool test
it connects to the monitor and mounts the block devices as /dev/rbd0
but if i go there from sidebar it shows up
Cong, well that is sad. I fell in love with linux becuase of the power of choice over microsoft. But wow is unity fast. Hell I'd compare it to my windows 7. I have mint kde and windows 7 dualbooted. I love kde and all. But the access of files and programs is so amazing on unity.
why would I be able to see it from the side bar but it now show up in fdisk?
but not show up in fdisk?
i dont understand why unity gets so much flak. I like most of its deisgn decisions. I especially like the way it handles maximize with the title/menubar
hello there
Some one here that have the time to try help he
doomlord: it's improved a lot since first release, i think a lot of the bad feelings about it are lagging indicators
are you guys having problem with flash player too?
goahead87: just ask your question
Me get ubuntu
also sudo blkid doesn't show the drive
admitedly having the option for horizontal dock would be nice, but i always put my dock vertical on a mac , the same
i can't access google for my plash player seems to be outdated
I can use files in the drive by navigating to i9t from the side bar
hiya
i have a file in /etc/profile.d/java containing JAVA_HOME=/path ; export JAVA_HOME however, it is not exported to environment variable set?
My screen are just flips after I updated and restartet
ok. so I'm having issues getting into my mint. The mint server won't let me in for whatever stupid reason. I'm getting sick of this. I might just hop onto ubuntu. Can anyone tell me what I need if I want to change the color theme of my windows?
any pointers as to where i should set system-wide environment?
my chromiun asks me to update my plash player to access google, how can I do that?
tiago, go to tools > extensions and search
yes
Are the some buttons I can push to stopp  the startup ?
hi. i am experiencing problems with google chrome in ubuntu and would like to delete all caches and reinstall. where can i find all folders belonging to chrome? simply uninstall doesnt do.
Dub-C, get bleachbit and open it as root then apt-get remove chromium-browser and run the clean option in bleachbit while everything having to do with chrome is checked and nothing else
Dub-C: may be at ~/.chromium , just delete it and open chromuim
i dont have chromium, but google chrome
does the solution differ?
What's a good high FPS recorder for Ubuntu? Something I can use to record Steam games like TF2 or Amnesia?
Are the some buttons I can push to stopp  the startu
Dub-C: better user chromium. anyway the path may be .chrome or something like that at your home directory
Startup
ok thank you
google shows a splash screen where is writen 'adobe flash player 11.4.402.278' to download, I can download it, but i cant install it is .cpl
miikey212, vlc maybe
Are the some buttons I can push to stopp  the startup ?
Where have the tunables for the system tmpfs's gone in 12.04/12.10?
dcherniv_: VLC records your screen?
miikey212, oh my... yes
I think that another disk is bad or missing and it gave my 2 tb drive a different drive letter
Okay so it wasn't my 2 tb drive having the problem it was another drive. But by changing to the UUID it is better now
my problem is what follows: I can't access several websites such as google.com in any browser I have (chromiun, firefox or opera). It says my flash player must be updated, and offers me to download it (adobe flash player 11.4.402.278 .cpl) how can I install it? Or how can update my current version? any thoughts?
i just bought an HP DJ 3510 but i can't print to it - i can print the ip though
i can use my web browser to connect to it also
tiago: sudo apt-get install flashplayer-nonfree
or something?
apt-cache search flash
ki7rw: what does it mean you can print the ip
using the printers utilities it prints just fine
oh from the web GUI ?
wastrel: i can PING the ip
What is the basic package I should install in order to get the basic developer compilers and stuff for c of course.
ki7rw: did you do auto configuration?
'thanks but:
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
E: Unable to locate package flashplayer-nonfree
wastrel: no
ok, sorry
webfox, build-essential
here it ishttp://paste.ubuntu.com/1380100/
ki7rw: in the printer settings you can probably just go in and put ipp://<ip of printer>/ipp
dcherniv_, yes, right! You are cool, thank you! ;)
since i can connect to the printer with my web browser i should be able to print to it
ki7rw: correct, did you open up the printer configruator thing and put in the address of the printer?
will starting ubuntu with NOMODESET cause it to run slow?
wastrel: yes -  i set a static addess
HTC-DZ, shouldnt make a difference
so basically if the live cd runs slow the installed OS would crawl as well?
HTC-DZ: the installed OS will be a bit quicker
HTC-DZ: CDs are *slow*
HTC-DZ, what gordonjcp said
ki7rw: in the printer properties on your ubuntu what's the URI ?
wastrel: well, it's a static address but i had to go into the router to reserve a dhcp address for that printer - not the usual way that i set a static address but it works the same
HTC-DZ, also depending on your graphics cards things will speed up with the proprietary driver
wastrel: socket://192.168.1.6:9100
my graphics card is the reason i have to to start the live cd with NOMODESET. otherwise it doesnt boot and gets stuck with a black screen. GPU is nvidia 6150. nforce 430 mobo
oki...
i know its an old chipset but up until ubuntu 11 its been working fine. no hassles at all
ki7rw: i sorry this isn't a lpd ipp thing seems hp has their own proprietary protocol?  do you have HP drivers installed?
yeray
ki7rw: found this did you read it already?  https://answers.launchpad.net/hplip/+question/214021
wastrel: the printer is listed in the linux driver list and that's what i used
HTC-DZ, ah yes. Chances are once installed you will get the black screen on startup.
HTC-DZ, i would download the nvidia driver from nvidia.com put on a usb stick.
HTC-DZ, once installed start with nomodeset and install the nvidia driver
Have  that boot problem
dcherniv, im a bit lost. if i install it and it starts with black screen how am i going to install drivers from my usb?
Does Ubuntu support Intel GPUs? I have Intel HD graphics 3000 [as my Windows GPU information says], is there native set of hardware drivers exists like Nvidia's?
i am using ubuntu studio,, audio apps are crashing ?
HTC-DZ, does nomodeset give you a text console?
HTC-DZ, you should be able to still boot into your installation with nomodeset if you can do so with live cd
hi everyone  is there a good tool to setup a Multi-Monitor , i'm using now ARandR but i'm not happy with the results
oh ok, so startup with nomodeset, install driver, restart machine. n that should be that?
Installed older version from a CD. And was working fine to the updating
Now. Boot freez
dcherniv_ i havent installed it yet. i only tried from live cd. i boot from it, press f6, select nomodeset then it boots up. no text console
HTC-DZ, yes that should do, nvidia driver requires some extra packages like kernel-headers and build-essential so you need to have wired internet connection since its kinda of a pain to configure wireless from command line if worst comes to worst
When I mount NFS I get You do not have the permissions necessary to view the contents of "red"
HTC-DZ, ah then you should be ok.
SlitazMint: red is the dir?
Anyone know a easy to use voice recognition that responds with verbal answers
iceroot, yes
SlitazMint: remeber that nfs is NOT checking usernames, its just checking uids
SlitazMint: so if the owner has uid 1000 and you have 1001 you are not the owner even when you have the same username
dcherniv_ wired internet connection i can do. one more thing, my system is an amd 64 single core 4
wastrel: thanks for the link - but the command hp-uninstall doesn't seem to exist
my /nfs/exports on the server is like this:/red -network 192.168.0.0 -mask 255.255.255.0
HTC-DZ, 64 bit shouldnt be a problem
4000+ with 4 gb ddr 400 ram. u think its enough to run ubuntu 12.10 64 bit?
iceroot, I don't think I have users even set up in NFS, it's just free for all.
SlitazMint, man this rings some bells, i cant quite recall though what was the problem
Not sure though, how do I check?
SlitazMint: the permissions are on the filesystem/dirs not nfs
Oh, how do I check for that then?
ki7rw: you can probably skip that step if you haven't installed HP's drivers yet
SlitazMint: every user froom remote can access that dir if his uid is the same as the owner/group
ki7rw: and proceed with the rest of the driver installation steps
How do I check the UID for /red and the UID I have in Ubuntu?
what's /red pls
you mean the owner & group uid
you can type uid to see the current uid of the user or uid <some username> to see the uid of the username
you can do ls -dn /red to see the uid of the owner and group of the /red directory
dcherniv_ ah ok, thanks so much. il do it tomorrow. gonna get sme sleep. laters

cyxi, i didn't notice any difference
while I'm here I might as well ask. Is it the case that Linux Mint has taken over as the top distro, or is it just Distrowatch giving bad results?
OK thiebaude
cyxi: nothing you will see with your eyes
eindoofus, not sure about that one. Mint has always given me bugs.
eindoofus: we don't know distrowatchs status/validity
Ubuntu has far better driver support imo
cyxi, 64bit can potentially be faster because there are more registers
noiro: its the same kernel....so it will have identical driver support
hey guys, I'm probably going to get reamed for this question, but does anyone know where I can find steps to install Ubuntu on a Chromebook? Also, how's actual day-to-day performance?

escott: more registers?
bonsoir est ce qu'il ya des francais
escott: I think you mean more virtual memory. Then again I could be wrong too. But I'm pretty sure it has nothing to due with registers
IS there a way to hide the launcher bar on the left ?
cyxi: I was just looking at this and I think it's relevant to what your talking about: http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/238494-50-32bit-64bit-virtual-machines

Anyone know how to add functions to a launcher icon
in unity
adknight87: i made a launcher icon that calls a script
there's a howto somewhere
adknight87: you would edit the  dot .desktop file for that launcher
well I've made a *.desktop that launches a script on my own that part was easy
hail
but now when you right click and get that nice menu I was wondering if you can add for instance new tab like in chromium
god_is_dead: i'm not fine as well ! :-)
adknight87: you can, use the chromium.desktop file as an example. I don't know precisely how to do it.
anyone liked the new ubuntu icons ?!

?
adknight87: see http://askubuntu.com/questions/167304/how-to-create-desktop-files-and-new-menu-without-alacarte This might be useful

NetJester: being muted in the backtrack channel does not mean the Ubuntu channel will provide support
IdleOne: hurr durr
NetJester,  i dont care what you use.  if you want ubuntu support.. then you need to be using ubuntu. else take it to a differnt channel
Dr_willis: i be you like it in the ass
NetJester: m(
NetJester, just sign up for a username with freenode and you won't be muted anymore
NetJester,  i bet you are all of 9 yrs old also. and cant follow directions. have a nice day
moving on

has anyone here run Windows 7 as a VM on Linux? I need to be able to use my Windows 7 apps and I can't risk them half-working.
i've inherited this Ubuntu desktop/server which is running 12.04 LTS or something to that extent and both KDE and Gnome are installed
eindoofus,  its commonly done.
eindoofus,  the specific apps may be the issue
eightfold,  yeah I do and also 8 vista and xp
Ubuntu 12.10 is a safe transition from 12.04, yes?
i've removed VBox 4.1 which was distributed via the Ubuntu software centre for QT front end and now i cannot install Vbox 4.2 from Oracle
eindoofus: performance could be an issue. or 3d support
how well does it run?
I'm not too worried about the 3d part
totally depends on your system specs eindoofus
I don't really run games or 3d modeling applications
eindoofus, i'm using win 7 for office and vmware 8 new feature also has unity support
eindoofus: that depends on your pc hardware, your usecase under linux, you use case on win, the win apps,....
eindoofus,  depends on the things that I am trying to  run like setting up VBox you can set things like ram ammount of cpu   3d graphics ect depends on how much ram you have and also cpus
eindoofus, and it works fine if you have ram more 3
I guess a better question is whether a Linux host with a Windows 7 VM is about the same performance as a Windows 7 host with a Linux VM (which is what I do now).
eindoofus,  there is also things like qemu which is also a good vm then there is vmware also
wait... no. that isn't a better question. let me rephrase that. lol
how good of 3D quality could I get out of a Windows 7 Virtual box if i gave it 4GB RAM and used my GTX560 card?
eindoofus,  it will all depend on what you need to do IN the vm
eindoofus, if you wanted to learn linux make it host so you can spend more time on host m/c than vm
eindoofus: honestly, just give it a try
I need to be able to run Visual Studio and develop in it.
noone will guarantee you anything
Its getting where i need windows for very very few things these days
What can i do to my ubuntu install to ensure it will load when a put the hdd into a new computer?
Hi
just bought 8gb of ram
Rikplay, not possible. :P
I think I will. Is there a free VM solution that is still high performance?
can anybody help me with this issue? http://pastebin.com/D2Q5cQBY
Each installation has drivers needed for that hardware. A new computer has different hardware.
Rikplay,  if the bootloader is on the HD and thats HD is set to boot.. it should boot..
noiro, please elaborate
ive moved hds from differnt machines with only small issues..  it depends on how similer the 2 machines are
Rikplay, you'd need to backup your data and reinstall. That's when drivers are established and installed based on that hardware of that system.
noiro,  thats not totally true. it depends on a lot of things
Unless the new machine had identical mobo, cpu, graphics, etc.
Dr_willis: thank you, grub loads ubuntu all goes well, but it does stop at some point. i suspect its because old pc had nvidia and new has amd, would you agree this could be an issue
Rikplay,  differnt video cards would be an issue. but not too hard to correct
is dual-booting still an option? I remember last time playing with that didn't work out. Has Windows 7 done something to keep that from working cleanly?
Dr_willis: Thank you, could you point me in some sort of direction where i could correct this, i assume i need to install the amd driver on the old machinbe 1st, is this correct
eindoofus: Hmm? I've dual booted with both Windows 7 and Windows 8.
Dr_willis: the linux kernel should have inside a lot of different drivers or not ?
eindoofus: Just make sure to install Windows first since it does its best to destroy GRUB when you install it.
phibxr: have you played any games on Windows 8. I'd like to have the option to develop Windows 8 apps and develop games. Thinking about throwing it on another partition
i dont know what feels better 1,000.00 in my pocket or the fact i have found a xchat-indicator bug that has been confermed
Dr_willis: situation:- selling laptop but will keep drive and date, just give away a different drive with new install
eindoofus: Only World of Warcraft. But I think both Windows 8 and World of Warcraft are a bit offtopic for #ubuntu. :)
can I message you (if that's what irc calls it)? :P
Okay not so easy as I thought it didn't add the edits I had done to the *.desktop
eindoofus: Sure thing, go ahead.
Hi
Hey guys, quick question. I just upgraded to 12.10 from 12.04. It would appear the new drivers missed my sound card (worked before by default). Any solutions?
noiro : alsamixer ?
OK Anyone - Is it possible to create USB bottable ubuntu which will boot on a large variety of computer hardware?
pikaciu: ?
Rikplay,  you can remove/install the drivers from the console. or remove the drivers befor you remove the HD.
* ki7rw got his new printer working on ubuntu 12.10 - took a bit of work though
Rikplay,  a live USB install does exactly that.
noiro : type the command : alsamixer
pikaciu: On the sound settings, all I see for output is Dummy Output
yes it is Rikplay
Rikplay,  a full install to USB will work for most hardware, unless theres specific drivers needed
pikaciu, no such file
hmmm. I just installed ubuntu and I'm somewhat confused. What is all of this amazon crap? I was trying to search for synatpic and 6 products showed up... It's a freakin OS, not a marketplace. What's going on?
eindoofus synaptic is gone, it's all in software center now
The Dash is the 'ultimate search starting point'
eindoofus,  you can install synaptic if you want it.
i have
Ok thanks you guys mostly Dr_willis i will research forward from here
'not installed by default' is not the same as 'gone' ;)
can I file a complaint somewhere. There is a reason I like open-source (because I'm an idealistic bastard) and this goes against why I'm here.
this should not be the default imo
eindoofus,  it wont matter.. ubuntu and amazon are being very friendly with each other.
eindoofus,  if you dont like it. then disable it.
noiro : in Default mixer tracks ?
pikaciu: What do you mean?
theres been hundreds of blog articals and so on about the amazon  search results
is there something good coming from this amazon/ubuntu fondling?
noiro : in Preference - Sound
bad choice of words. lol
read the info mentioned in the factoid above.
sorry
eindoofus  depends on how you use it or what you like about it
If I go to Sound > Applications, I see Spotify and ALSA plug-in
he< I got a question too, I did a fresh install of 12.04 and noticed the fonts on facebook.com look very different then usual, anybody knows what this is?
eindoofus  "good" is a matter of taste
I'm using gnome-shell
to a degree
Dr_willis: it is possible that the command - alsamixer - returns - file not found ?
hey guys, I installed ubuntu 12LTS, now I want to make my start process a bit beautyfull, I want to remove the dark purple and replace that with the plymouth animation, how can I do that?
me shooting someone in the head is obviously "not good". you could agree with that right.
unless he tried to shoot your wife first
still not good overall, be justifiable
eindoofus  canonical cannot change a complete system because of one individual's preferences
lol, sorry
eindoofus: do you have a real support issue? for chitty chat we have the offtopic and discuss channels
pikaciu: I get "cannot open mixer: No such file or directory
"
noiro : oh
I'm done alright. Just coming to terms with the Amazon crap.
another question, I noticed my mouse curser is blinking and disappearing frequently, how can I deactivate this? I remember there was an option for this in 10.04, but can't find one in 12.04 (already tried the keyboard settings)
noiro : can you right click on the sound icon ?
pikaciu: yes. I can navigate to sound settings
noiro : Preferences ?
not preferences (i'm using gnome, remember), sound settings
anyone?:(
noiro : try to open the menus regarding - device .
is Ubuntu 10.04.4 LTS not compatible with linux 3.6?
you mean hardware?
is there a search bar in "ubuntu software center"? not sure if my VM resolution is just cutting something off.
yes there is
top right
uh oh. I think it is cut off
pikaciu: nothing shows for my hardware. I'm using a Z77 board so it's still fairly new, but 12.04 supported it so.... not sure what is going on.
kernel.ubuntu.com down ... is there a mirror thats working ?
noiro : Additional Drivers ?
can anyone tell me why i see a shady graphic in my bottom right side of the desktop telling me "AMD - unsupported hardware" ?
no but have you checked for proprietary drivers?
pikaciu, how would I find that in gnome? I don't see it anywhere.
noiro : i'm quite sure is there
Mark6, when i go to System Settings -> Additional Drivers, it tells me ATI/AMD proprietary FGLRX graphics drivers are installed
noiro : All Apps - Theme & Tweaks
ok sorry then I don't know what the problem is
Dreamer3: http://handytutorial.com/install-linux-kernel-3-6-0-in-ubuntu-12-04-12-10/
i want talk whit someone to helpme
pikaciu: it found my nvidia driver, but I see no sound card driver there for intel
what is that thing on the right called? and can I remove the libreoffice links from it?
sorry, i mean on the left
hello :> does anyone know of a list of readily available windows 8 certified computers that -will- run ubuntu? so far from what i've seen windows 8 certified doesn't mean much more than "has trouble running anything other than windows 8" :<
eindoofus it's a part of the unity desktop, nbot sure what the specific term is. you can remove stuff from it by right click
I installed umuntu and cant find my excel now
then click the last option on the context menu

kaleo_  wubi?
in a window of installation.
kaleo_  a wubi installation inside windows?
yes1
pikaciu, what was supposed to be the expected result?
noiro : try alsamixer again
MonkeyDust_ can you help me?
pikaciu: same result
kaleo_  no, not with wubi, try an ubuntu install on its own partition
noiro : ok... sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-audio-dev/alsa-daily
MonkeyDust_ i have to unstall my windows.. will be better?
kaleo_  no, you can dualboot, if you have enough space left
noiro : then sudo apt-get update
MonkeyDust_ iubottu_ I have a lot space.I'll do it. Thanks
does anyone know if linux mint can keep settings between live-usb boots the way ubuntu can?
Cannot access PPA (https://launchpad.net/api/1.0/~ubuntu-audio-dev/+archive/alsa-dail) to get PPA information, please check your internet connection.
blocky: You're probably better asking that in the Mint support channel, they should be able to answer that
okay
thanks, figured it was worth a shot
so twice now I've crashed my laptop doing a network restart this morning

How do the ubuntu packages compare to debian stable in terms of up-to-date-ness?
hi, in 12.04, how can I easily access a list of all installed software, if possible arranged by categories, as was the case in 10.04 for example ?

hola que tal gente
webfox: I don't know, but sounds logical.
Or beter yet, how do I verify if it is already installed ?
better

yes
is ubuntu server like archlinux?
noiro: ok.... so it's :-) not : / (it means sad) ....  :P

does anyone here have experience with nginx configuration?
does anybody know where I can get different plymouth animations?
Xix19: lil bit what you trying to do?
melfy: I'm trying to disable gzip for a single php file
melfy: I have a "location \.php {" which works just fine, but I only want to disable gzip compression for this particular file
melfy: /tmp
does anyone know what im talking about
overclucker: no other way? ;_;
I know the configuration directive is "gzip off" but how do I add it only for this file?
Xix19:  try... location ~ ^/filename.php {gzip off;}
hi, is it possible to underclock or underclock i3 cpu?
undervolt or underclock
fjodor: isnt that more of a bios thing?
anyone?:(
melfy: now when I access the file it downloads it
haha
I think it doesn't go through the original "location \.php$ {" anymore
put your proxy pass in there too
guys, say me something.. I want a Linux system! what is the better?
I have to copy everything in "location \.php$ {" ? It's very long
Xix19: try putting location below the php$ ?
kaleo_: go with ubuntu. thats it
melfy: that's the easiest way. you could also mount a new tmpfs.
okay anyone? this is really starting to bug me because i changed my boot animation and itll still flash the pink wallpaper
overclucker: is tmpfs cleared on a reboot?
would probably have to re-copy files to there on a boot before webserver starts?
melfy: yes. /tmp is tmpfs, btw
guntbert_ thanks!!!!
can someone explain the grub loopback process ? i want to install ubuntu onto a partition that contains a existing distro. i can't format the partition because it's mounted. used grub to boot the debian iso which is on /dev/sda1 @ /boot/iso.
melfy: you could probably modify your web server's upstart script to handle that.
overclucker: i am testing to see if it even helps hehe.... ty ty :) :)
melfy: if I move it under it ignores it completely
but i don't exactly understan what's happening with mounts and such when a iso is booted using grub loopback. the documentation is vague about it
Xix19: u can try moving everything inside of php$ to an include, and include that in any php derivites
chaospsychex, are you trying to install ubuntu to the device that holds the installation medium?
ok_wait: yes
location php$ {include /etc/nginx/php.conf; extra stuff;}
chaospsychex,  you would bneed to put the ISO file on its own partion thats not going to be formated during the install to be safest.
chaospsychex, partition it
Xix19:  that way it's cleaner in all your configs
melfy: trying now
Dr_willis: i tried putting it onto the swap parition after re-formatting swap to ext4 but i get errors in grub when trying to boot the iso if it's on /dev/sda5
I normally have a /boot/ partion of like 6 gb. that way i can keep several ISO files on it.
Hi, what are the use cases of pulseaudio, I can play many files together without it
ok_wait: what ?
chaospsychex,  it should be able to boot the iso from that partion if you configure grub right.
Dr_willis: ok. maybe the syntax was wrong
http://www.otsglobal.org/2012/11/how-to-boot-an-iso-file-from-your-hard-drive-via-grub2-under-ubuntulinux-mint/ seems a decent guide.
i always put mine on sda1 - so i knew it was (hd0,1)
Dr_willis: /sda5 would be (hd0,5) ?
I recall even booting them from a NTFS windows partion
chaospsychex,  i would think so,, or you could make severl grub entries for the same iso with diffnert (hd0,X) entries and try them all
Dr_willis: yes
I normally dont install using this method. i tend to set up the ISO files after im installed for testing and recovery booting
hi
alrighty, anybody here that can help me install some drivers
AceBlade258: just state your problem in it's entirety, bub.
I'm on 10.04

one line preferrably.

My Ubuntu has shutdowns, freezes a lot and has a lot of crashes, bugs etc. I'm using the newest stable version x64. How can I fix this problem?
Thy-Duang: fully updated/
?
Yes
Despite the fact, that some updates cause crash on the first try
Xix19: welcome :P
Thy-Duang: freezes, shutdowns, crashes... sounds like hardware problems
Thy-Duang, check your logs and look for errors (/var/log) google those errors and you should find a solution
As for now, my Windows 7 is flawless and Ubuntu is terrible
lspci output: http://pastebin.com/W25v251Q
I'm running 10.04 x64 to build android. I don't have drivers for my network card and I can't figure out how to install them. I'm tethered using my phone at the moment.
How do I look for errors if my Ubuntu shuts down without any warning?
Thy-Duang,  was this a clean install or a Upgrade?
Thy-Duang: do you just want to rant? Do it elswhere please
Clean install
I don't want to rant, I want to fix the problem
Thy-Duang,  you could monitor your logs as the system is running from a seperate box via ssh and hope to find some error messages/info/clues
Thy-Duang: the we need details - start looking into /var/log/syslog
*then
how do i install pygtk for python 3 on ubuntu?
Ok, I will change to Ubuntu and reconnect
Could be anything from overheating, to power flucations.
Thanks a lot
Bah, that's the point. My laptop heats much more when on Ubuntu than on Windows
Thy-Duang: I had an dv4 hp notebook that was at least twice as hot with ubuntu than with windows
Dr_willis: overheating might be a possibility definitely
Ok, I thought it;s strange
But I'm totally green
Ok, brb with my var/log/syslog
PyGTK 2.24.0 has been released. This is a stable release supporting the GTK+ 2.24 API    ... from the pygtk homepage... dosent seem like it supports the GTK3 stuff

Ok
i need help
we need details..
Hello everybody. My audio just quit working, and I was wondering where I would start looking to get information on why it may have stopped. I'm using 12.04 if that helps any.
my Ubuntu is bootinf to a initramfs prompt
i am scared
From what I understand, these drivers should have been installed during installation. However, I had no network connection during installation, and I'm guessing (despite it's LTS status) because 10.04 predates Cougar Point/Sandy Bridge, the drivers aren't included.
Random832: for gtk3 you use gobject introspection to use gtk from python, for instance: from gi.repository import Gtk, then use the Gtk module in much the same way as the old python-gtk2
Random832: though there are definite differences which you will encounter along the way
do i need to reinstall?
AceBlade258: dont you think its just not activated? usually you dont need special drivers for lan cards
Cordel^,  given that you aparently havent tried anything to fix it yet... a reinstall would be premature.
k1l: how would I check?
ive always been a premature guy
you could always backup your imporntant stuff and reinstall if you wanted to i guess.
otik
AceBlade258: ifconfig
AceBlade258: because its listed in lspci
if you mean bios-level, I know it's active there, otherwise lspci wouldnt report it
i need someone smart to fix my problem so i can take credit

Hi I create an ad-hoc network by using wpa_supplicant without any problem. However, the wireless interface does not get the static IP that I defined. I would appreciate if anyone could help me on this. here is the settings http://pastebin.com/yYL3SAnb
So how can I provide you more information?
keep in mind, Higher-speed ram tends to have slower timings. when you underclock it, the timings are still going to be slower
meaning you will have higher-latency overall on your ram, decreasing performance
what is the INITRAMFS prompt and how do i boot out of it?
Wait for a shutdown, save a log and immediately paste it here?
however, unless you are doing things the require a lot of memory operations, the difference shouldn't be a big deal
AceBlade258, you should be my fortune... i log on and get some nice information like that handed to me instead of my fortune...
BoomerBile: thanks :)
Thy-Duang: the are several log files /var/log/syslog /var/log/syslog.1 /var/log/syslog.2.gz,....
Ah, ok
*there are
AceBlade258, you know what fortune is right?
How do I find that it's the right one?
nope

Cordel^,  either the bootloader or grub or the kernl is confused about somthing. the  boot-repair tool MIGHT fix it all
well, back in the days when we mostly used consoles, it was a program that would deliver you a fortune, weather that be a joke, advice, or just plain nonsense. They were always interesting to read... you can still install fortune and have it deliver your fortune when you log into a shell
I've problem running jar files in ubuntu. The always freezes. I'm not sure where to begin troubleshooting
Cordel^: a quick google search suggested tuping exit
*typing
however, I'm absoloutely no expert
so I have no idea weather that is reliable information
What's the problem Cordel^ ?
Yeah, Dr_willis, but I have 7 of them. I can send you all of them, but I thought it will be easier if I find the right one and send only one.
Thy-Duang,  wont do much good to send them to me., ;)
angs: wlan3?
Hm. I'm going to grab a screenie. I feel a bit inept :/
Ok.

Thanks :) It's an A2ZS
I've just started using mv on a large directory, only to realise that my partition is full
Can I safely ctrl + C and go clean up space?
AceBlade258: Could you pastebin the output of lspci -k and ifconfig -a please?
AceBlade258: seems like its this one: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-1741686.html
usr13, I figured I'd give you a screenshot. I can see you're helping somebody else atm, so I'll wait until you're finished. http://img195.imageshack.us/img195/6512/alsap.png
AceBlade258, run update-pciids, i think that's still the command, they recently changed it on me in gentoo. then do lspci again maybe it will show you what that is exactly, i'll start looking it up with those numbers
Now: copying and pasting those logs (only Chromium, Archive Manager and terminal) and it says: an internal error of Ubuntu 12.04 occured.
when I boot my laptop I get a message 'failed to start the X server' how can I fix? D:
the apport error reporting system says stuff like that when it detexts any crash logs.
superfake try this sudo startx
Evil_Eric: no!
Ah, ok
its info may give a clue what crashed and why
http://pastiebin.com/?page=p&id=50aff18f0f2e9
superfake123: dont do that
superfake123: sudo service lightdm start
http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-1741686.html <-- AceBlade258
superfake123,  could be your video drivers are confused or not instgalled properly. what is your bideo chipset?
superfake123  can you ctrl-alt F1 and login?
superfake123: start the xserver with: sudo start lightdm
yes I'm in tty1
or w/e it is
AceBlade258, looks like it uses the e1000e driver
Last two: http://pastiebin.com/?page=p&id=50aff1d168228  http://pastiebin.com/?page=p&id=50aff2057ea3c
superfake123: could you "pastebinit .xsession-errors" and show the link?
it says lightdm start/running, process 1675

is that a 32-bit driver?
i wanna use lightdm and not mdm i dono where mdm came from
superfake123: which ubuntu is that exactly? or is it mint?
ubuntu 12.10
also, lan, wired
angs: Do you have network-manager installed and running?
sudo dpkg-reconfigure lightdm                superfake123  to select lightdm
intel H67 chipset
angs: If so, that may be the problem.
superfake123: with cinnamon from a ppa?
mdm is mints name for their dm manager. its installable on ubuntu via a ppa
yeah I have cinnamon installed
usr13: I am using ubuntu-server, I am not sure if network-manager is installed.
superfake123: that is caused by the mint ppa. so  i think the mint guys should know how to fix their stuff
angs: Shouldn't be
Dr_willis, found anything interesting?

ok i'll head over to mint thx
AceBlade258, you need the mei driver, in kernel 3.0.0-17-generic
hi some one who knows abit scripting?
Thy-Duang,  with what? ive been playing skyrim ;)
how can i know to what package a certain script belongs?
With my Ubuntu shutting down and freezing
BoomerBile: kernel update?
I pasted 7 syslogs
never done that on linux
AceBlade258, probably
can you get on the internet with it?
Want me to repaste them?
it's a lot easier on android... lol
BoomerBile: no, tethered on my phone
at the moment
um
that's the internet
usr13: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1380622/    however, I assigned the IP address by ifconfig -a wlan3 10.0.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0
i said i most likely wouldent be able to tell what was going on with them. if its totally random crashing with differnt apps at differnt times.. i would  be monitoring the system temps and perhaps trying a big fan on the pc,
I feel like i missed something
Ok.
Do you know if installing other Linux can solve the problem? Fedora, Debian or w/e else?
if your tethered to your phone, you probably did that for one reason right? to get on the internet? are you tethered to your phone with the pc that we're trying to fix? if so you should have the internet if it's tethered correctly
simplew: read /var/lib/dpkg/info/package-name.list
Thy-Duang,  when in doubt.. test with a live cd.
i do, and i see what you are saying now
ok
Ok, thank you very much for your help
i missed the context of the question, lol, my bad
angs: what was it before?
Goodnight
now you can update your whole system or just the kernel.. do you use synaptic package manager AceBlade258 ? and no problem it happens.
I'm actually on the offending computer right now,
usr13: I run the wpa_supplicant configuration on two ubuntu server and they get the same cell ID, however when I assign the IP addresses by " ifconfig -a wlan3 10.0.0.1 netmask 255.255.255" and "10.0.02" they cannot ping each other. I get Destination Host Unreachable error. do you know how I can ping them?
angs: Something from a dhcp pool somewhere on your LAN
usr13:  it is an ad-hoc network, it did not get any IP since there is no dhcp
angs: "netmask 255.255.255"?
sorry I copied wrong, there is also 0 at the end
angs: you mean 255.255.255.0 ?
255.255.255.0
yes
ok
yes
i'm not in ubuntu, nor do i have access to it at the moment, can anyone give me the package name for the newest kernel image -generic?
BoomerBile: 3.5.0-17 on my system.
angs: They both have the same essid?
showing in output of wiconfig
Hi. on Ubuntu 12.10, how do I change the power saving preferences, like CPU frequency scaling governor and the like. in the system panel under power I didn't find it, I think thats where it used to be
JamesNZ, so sudo apt-get install image-3.5.0-17-generic that for 64 bit?
usr13: yes, the same essid and cell id
BoomerBile  3.5.0-18-generic
here
angs: You should skip the encryption part.
in synaptic the highest available is 3.0.0-27
AceBlade258, you can install the new kernel using a package manager, or the command line, these two people just gave you the newest version numbers
sudo apt-get install on the command line, probably want to sudo apt-get update first
no risk installin the newest kernel?
you may just want to install the dist upgrade twice
AceBlade258, you are on 12.04 ?
sorry, installing
no
he's on 10.04
usr13: but I need to use wpa, isn't it possible to use it with encryption?
he might not want to install the whole update over his tether though it might get expensive
AceBlade258: replacing the 10.04 kernel will likely require a ppa (then you won't be supported)
hello, where can I find information about C++?

Hey guys! I have a new 64 bit computer that I'm looking at putting Ubuntu on. This is my first 64 bit computer. I know the 32 bit version of Ubuntu is recommended, so I am curious: is there any advantage to installing 64 bit on this box? Would I do better to keep with 32 bit or 64?
I edited plymouth with playmouth manager, now I just get a black screen if I start
edoedo, try join ##c++ or ##c++general
Wulframn: go 64bit
Wulframn: supports more than 4GB
even  sudo update-alternatives --config default.plymouth && sudo update-initramfs -u doenst work
Wulframn: 32bit is recommended because not every computer can take 64bit. thats it
Wulframn, there are arguements in all directions there... most people these days will say 64 bit.
Wulframn: go for 64bit if your hardware can
Thanks
I know it is kind of a hot topic and I'm sorry for asking an obvious question. I used run Ubuntu exclusively, but I've been so involved with school and needing a Windows box that I've forgotten a good bit of all this stuff. =P Thanks for all the help!
does ubuntu 64-bit have x86 libraies?
Wulframn: keep in mind the smaller application pool 64-bit still has
ah-ha! be back in a min
Hi, how do I change the power usage profile of the system in ubuntu ?
usr13: Thanks for the tip. It's working now. I feel a bit like an idiot, but I haven't had problems in so long, I forgot how to fix things :/
I know 64-bit has a smaller application pool; is that really going to be a problem? I intend to do a side-by-side installation as I am still required to have Windows for school. I plan to use Ubuntu for writing papers, web browsing, basic functions.... and then Windows for my school work and Steam gaming. Will I have an issue with 64 bit having a small app pool?
YEEEAAAAAHHHH!!!!!
brainard52: NP
Wulframn: that is no problem
Wulframn: in that case, no
Wulframn: the only reason to take 32bit is that your hardware cant take 64bit.
Thank you BoomerBile
also, that was a ssd-worthy restart
Ok, cool! Thanks a lot you guys. Starting a download now (going LTS), so I'm off. Thanks all around, again!
get it working?
angs: I meant that you should skip the encryption part until you get the connection esbablished.  In other words, turn off encryption, get the connection up and working, then you can turn it back on.  (I'm thinkinking it will simplify things for you.)

you might need /join ##c++ if your irc client doesn't know what /j is
chris______, install windows first, it probably will take full hdd ( oem) then ubuntu
it said overflow
yeah it does that to me all the time
chris______: some oem recovery cds need a hidden partition where they load preformated stuff out of. if that is wiped ask the support from that manufacturer
too many people trying to join at once

i had 4 ec2 instances with ubuntu 12.04 ami working perfectly, and then 5th one working just as well. Then I bootstrapped one more the same way, and now I can't get it to accept my ssh agent forwarding - it keeps looking for private keys, and never gets offered my local dsa key... Every other instance works. I'm at a loss for the whole day now, trying to figure this out.
hello
Any help would be much appreciated.
I diff'ed their /etc/ssh/sshd_config's, restarted ssh, tripple-checked all i could think of - the instances just seem identical, but 5 work with agent forwarding and 6th one does not. :(
Solved, just took out the graphics card
sort-of an extreme solution, but whatever

also, I installed it from software sources
I am out of ideas
lsmod | grep nivida return nvidia
alright, I'll be honest. I think windows is better looking, which is why i usually switch back after about a week
how do i make ubuntu pretty

i dont get that
Dr_willis: Ah thanks
well its important to get the exact wording
try
(in a terminal) dmesg|grep -i mimo
if there's anything there, pastebin it
what do i try exactly again
oh ok
ill try that hold on
i get absolutely nothign when i type that in
k
i typed dmesg | grep -i mimo and nothing
alright, I need mtp
fellayaboy: dmesg|grep sd
aceblade258 r u talingto me
ok i get a bunch of stuff ill pastebin it now
my GNex has some files i need, and PTP won't let me get to them
fellayaboy mtp is how phones get media files back and forth these days
whast mtp stand for
AceBlade258 GNexP or LgGNex4?
is that a protocol
yes fellayaboy
Media Transfer Protocol
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Media_Transfer_Protocol
\42\drinking\r\u: the Nexus 4 isn't a galaxy device :P
it's a GNex
Toro (Verizion)
Verizon
well, GNex is actually a google nexus
not the galaxy nexus
that's a nexus prime sir
and obviously the lg is a google phone.
:P
here it is http://pastebin.com/y7gMuYiE
@ fellayaboy lloookin
\42\drinking\r\u: Google GNex, all you will get is about the Galaxy Nexus
:P
anyway, back to MTP
oh yey, thanks fellayaboy
I know linux has a (ironically) better implimentation of it
you need to back up sda immediately.
looks like its dying
AceBlade258 really? win's version sux
wow physicall hardware failure?
MTP is microsoft's protocol, and it's slow at cold sap
thats what i saw too ...mtp microsoft
fellayaboy: how old is the drive?
just use adb \o/
maybe 2 years old or 3 years
fellayaboy: install smartmontools
then run a scan of that disk
ok
viddy: ha! thanks, hadn't thought of that
and in your mobo bios i owuld enable the smart there too
sorry for the bad news
fellayaboy: MFGR?
but the really good news is that you found out before its totally gone
AceBlade258: for transferring stuff, its faster on all accounts, adb pull/push, i never looked back at MTP even once
well what i did was shrink my harddrive using gparted and insalled windows 8...grub wouldnt recognize it and then i used gparted to increase the size again to ext4
i deleted windows 8 and increased my ext4 size
thats when it started getting dumb on me ...i didnt want to reinstall uubntu to fix this problem so i came here..im guessing its just the fact i did all that partitioning
anyone have managed to write data to BluRays succesfully with k3b ?
apt-get told me theres no such package
suggested packages are  gsmartcontrol smart-notifier
how do i add adb to my sources?
I spent too much time learning windows
I'm still having problems with my audio. I've gotten the login-screen sound to go off, but nothing else is working,.
as versed as i am in win, i have trouble switching to linux
lol
what's the issue AceBlade258
oh
adb sources?
its not that hard to learn once u get some tutorials
computer -> properties -> env variables
$PATH
its the same in most os's
just got to know where the env variables are
its waaaaaay better than windows and worth the switch u just have to find a good solid tutorial series or book that will chop down the basics

brainard52_ understood
Crap. I'm used to skype's edit function.
first, please check the cables
unplug and plug them all in securely.
Thanks. I've already tried messing with ALSAMixer a bit, by the way.
protip: dunt unplug your computer with your foot while it's on
k
*don't
lol AceBlade2581, i do that too much :P
cable management ftw
Ah, so thats the trick
brainard52_: Did you find out anything from alsamixer?
anyway brainard52_ in alsamixer, those M's? highlighted M means on
One sec, I've got a screenie for you.
ok

Here's what I have.
brainard52_: play /usr/share/sounds/alsa/*
ah you have the OO instead of M
brainard52_: or aplay /usr/share/sounds/alsa/*
brainard52_: Test and see what happens.  Tell us if you see errors.
(what usr13 said)
also brainard52_, not that you may care, but your name is showing in the pic
brainard52_: and/or, tell us if you hear sounds.
erm, sorry to be a broken record, but how do I add the android platform tools to my sources?
Meh, that's fine. As long as my social is nowhere. I'm sure that if you were malicious, you might be able to do some damage, but I don't really care.
No sounds, by the way :/
yeah that's fine
do you have beep installed?
(can do system bell)
brainard52_: What do you see in the terminal window?  (Is it playing or giving errors?)
what's the paste command?
brainard52_: pastebinit?
That's it. Thanks.
AceBlade2581 in windows?
join me in #flood for a bit please AceBlade2581
\42\drinking\r\u:in ubuntu
http://paste.ubuntu.com/1380781/ Here's the output of the aplay command.
You're trying to put adb/fastboot into your paths?
brainard52_: yeah
brainard52_: It's playing the files.  Plug in speakers, (or plug into different port).  Plug in power cord to speakers, (or get power supply that works).  Trun volume up, (on speakers etc.).  .....
While in your home folder in Nautilus, press CTRL+H and find /bashrc.
oops, sorry. .bashrc
That's the thing, my onboard speakers aren't working :/
opened
study how it's formatted and then put the exact path to your adb/fastboot binaries into the file.
brainard52_ yeah
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EnvironmentVariables
gave him that ^^;
Ah, that works.
so he can make it system wide if needed, and so he has the full deal on env variables
brainard52_: FYI:  F5 in alsamixer shows all ports
includes the bash
the users bash is .bashrc vs /etc/bash.bashrc for default for all users @ brainard52_ / AceBlade2581
brainard52_: sudo apt-get install sox
brainard52_: What works?  What did you do?
*Farts
^Mature -.-
Anyway, what do you mean what works? Also, I was curious what sox was.
@usr the link to env variables
lol
brainard52_: ..--..
I said something dumb :/
yes
I installed from a netinstall disk over ethernet cable, and now my system will not boot without my ethernet cable plugged in. I also cannot manage the ethernet connection from the nm-applet. help me use my wireless!
rule 0: use google
search terms "linux sox"
kazagistar:   ^^^^^
btw, if sp1 won't install, it requires windows to have the boot not grub
stupid win7
usr13: what does grub have to do with it? I don't understand at all...
I was only stating that I was curious because I saw it in Alsamixer. I wasn't actually asking what it was.
kazagistar i read your issue
what do you mean doesn't boot?
kazagistar: Maybe you should explain your situation in more detail.  (I was under the impression that your system will not boot without ethernet cable plugged in.)
\42\drinking\r\u: it does, but it waits for like 5 min for a network connection, and then has no networking
ahaha
so, sorry, I failed my explination
so ipv4 fails, then ipv6, then wifi
or something
brainard52_: Is you sound working now?
5 min ??? Its too long ....so scaried
I think it is using eth0 as some kind of hardcoded route, and demanding that it load before loading the networking system
Anyway, usr13,  I seriously haven't messed with configs on my computer since I first installed 12.04. I'll reboot to see if installing beep and sox did anything.
The Purple 8 Ball says:  It's possible
lol billkd
due to the fact that I installed it using the text installer, and just had it detect the route... I really dont know
hey. how do I set a nameserver (in /etc/resolv.conf) at first position?
j hacker.it
MrTorque you must do through netowrk manager not the file
lol aliencrew
:D
lol
hi
hai
Um, just add to the top of /etc/resolv.conf in the syntax described in the file... I think anyway.
i want to add a local ip as ns but it is sorted at the end and hence not considered in name resolving
i cant figure it out.
billkd yes, but it will be overwritten by the network manager
\42\drinking\r\u: how do i do in console?
i think im too tired, but i really want to get this build started.
it can also go into the /etc/network/interfaces file, but that will also be overwritten in desktop enviornment
as long as I DO have an ethernet cable plugged in, my wireless works fine, everything works fine, but otherwise, it fails to load any networking at all... it is so stupid
kazagistar
perhaps he's using CLI only.
then plugin ethernet, then boot, then disable ethernet
reboot and report back
kazagistar: Does it hang during boot?
literally disable the interface
in that case, it's just vim /etc/resolv.conf or nano /etc/resolv.conf or whatever, then edit and :wq or ^x y <return>
\42\drinking\r\u: how exactly do i disable it?
billkd it will be overwritten unless its server
kaz i dont run the same gui as you, no clue
i would start by getting rid of gnome's ugly unity face
Reboot didn't do anything. It's realy weird to me, though. The sound that is set to play when the login screen shows plays.
go to xfce or something :P
Dr_willis: I'm getting a error trying to add a quicklist in myunity [45] File or directory does not exist. MQuicklist.?.0
\42\drinking\r\u: network manager does not display the connection at all, that is my problem
brainard52 in terminal will beep beep?
thats bad...
nope.
brainard52 did the sound work before?
\42\drinking\r\u: but ifconfig shows it fine
kazagistar, add another user to the box
give that user all powers
see if its also unable to see it
The Purple Fullcrap Ball says:  dont sent any message any more stupit n idiot
huh?
\42\drinking\r\u: um, the box is this one, but I am pretty sure it wont work, because I think my problem is this: http://pastebin.com/h7vCtJSB
what's wrong with that?
that it has eth0 coded into it? dunno

Yup. Last night I was watching Anime.
did you change the bios since then?
perhaps the default codec?
might be the codecs
http://paste.ubuntu.com/1380805/
if you went in the bios i found something before, where it hates some codecs but not others
it should show in dmesg but i forget the exact error
if every other setting is the same, device chosen, etc, cables not moved, then that seems likely. like i said, i've fallen prey to this one as well.
Last night, I used a command to look at my BIOS' information. I doubt that would change anything.
brainard52_: AGAIN:  It's playing the files.  Plug in speakers, (or plug into different port).  Plug in power cord to speakers, (or get power supply that works).  Trun volume up, (on speakers etc.). Find some speakers that really work. .....
I've already said that my speakers really do work. It plays a sound when I get to the login screen.
usr13 its the onboards having issues
no ports to plug if i understand it
The login sound plays through my headphones and my speakers.
brainard52 what are you using ? Alsa Or Pulseaudio?
Whatever is default for Ubuntu 12.04
i think i know what this might be
brainard52: so when you play  /usr/share/sounds/alsa/*  you can hear all the audio files playing through the speakers?  I thought you were having an audion problem.  I guess I have no idea what we were working on here.
*audio*  not audion
lol
When I do those commands (beep, play, aplay, etc) there is no sound played.
+1 for common sense
brainard52 does have brain, i can tell usr13 :))
Quick question fellas. Can Ubuntu 12.10 (x86) access more than 4GB ram?
konbon yes
Is there a limit?
it will automatically install a pae kernel
Oh great
Thanks :)
brainard52: So when you issue command "play  /usr/share/sounds/alsa/*" ,   you do NOT hear any sounds?
I will confirm that what you say is correct.
I need to create icon in unity launchbar, and change icons' sizes from console. Anyone knows how to do that?
brainard52 see if pulseaudio is installed ?
brainard52: And that is the issue that you are trying to solve?
@dark59linter, yes. @usr13, yes.
gday fellas
brainard52: uninstall pulseaudio  I guess.  I don't think that's it but won't hurt to find out.
have you tried using alsa for your linux box ? if so you can install it and see if that works
usr13 is right
after try to install alsa
dark59linter: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1380805/  (From brainard52 )
dark59linter: You already have alsa
Why would pulseaudio be installed if it's not even default?
lol
I'm so confused. I don't remember even installing it as a dep.
pulse wraps alsa or some shit these days
pulse is what ubu went to several yrs ago
kinda not an awesome choice if you ask me, but that's what we have
yes i already do
So why am I screwing with alsa if pulse is default??
so alsa is in there, but pulse is being used
alsa lets us do things to sound directly\
pulse abstracts that and takes it away from you
brainard52: did you uninstall pulseaudio?
i dont like pulseaudio just for certian reasons thats why i prefer alsa
dark59linter heh i dont disagree..
remember when pulse was new and it was filling up ppls hdd's of logs?
happend to me
so mad..
brainard52: Did you uninstall pulseaudio?
and bugs up the whole OS,Pulseaudio needs some work so im with you on that one \42\drinking\r\r
Not yet. I'm still a bit lost. 42 says that pulse is default, you say uninstall it, and dark has just been confusing me even more.
*\u
hi
brainard52: just uninstall pulseaudio
Alright
brainard52: sudo apt-get remove pulseaudio  #And see if it solves your problem.
brainard52 listen to usr13 and remove pulseaudio in terminal: sudo apt-get autoremove pulseaudio
brainard52: I doubt that it will  solve anything, but one thing is for sure;  If you don't do anything, you won't fix anything.
Executing the command.
I don't want to go down three different paths either, because that will only mess it up worse.
and if this dosnt resolve anything try to install Alsa in terminal by typing : sudo apt-get install alsa
brb.
brainard52: I gave you one thing to do.
and i gave you the second thing after usr13
dark59linter: What second thing?
to install alsa if that didnt work
had the same problem but resolved it installing alsa
dark59linter: ..--..
Well, I have sound now, but no speaker icon in my notification bar.
I am trying to create a live 12.10 ubuntu usb-stick from another linux dist . can  you give me a link to guide me?
brainard52: Very good.
diex use startup disk creator inside your distro
btw dark59linter, alsa is installed by default.  (I think you are refering to maybe installing a newer version or...??)
usr13 sorry mine came with pulseaudio bc im on a diffrent distro
hi guys
i edited my sshd_config file
dark59linter: o
to listen for ssh on port 2222
my bad usr13
and on ip 192.168.1.25
dark59linter: NP... just FYI
and now when i reboot the ssh server wont come up unless i start it manually
any reason why it might happen?
dark59linter: many thanks. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent what about method 3, is it worth to try?
thanks for the tip ill be sure to keep that in mind iv just used ubuntu for a while and switched to so many distros over the years lol
dysun: That is interesting.  You might try dpkg --reconfigure openssh-server
Like I said though, I don't have the volume manager in this thing. http://img204.imageshack.us/img204/6664/asdfvy.png
usr13: ok i'll try that
Man, it's one problem after another. I'll be patient though :|
diex are your talking about UNetBootin?
dysun: dpkg-reconfigure openssh-server
if so you can also create alot of live distros with this
brainard52: Whasamatter?
http://img204.imageshack.us/img204/6664/asdfvy.png No volume manager icon.
its not installed by default on some OS's so to install type : sudo apt-get install unetbootin
I have a distinct feeling that it's because I uninstalled Pulse.
brainard52: that would be correct
brainard52: That is probably because it was part of pulseaudio.  Just use a different mixer.
Any recommendations?
synaptic and search for mixer
'sudo synaptic'
brainard52: alsamixergui
dark59linter: no I tried Unetbootin. When I boot from usb I only get a smily at the left upper side
diex i would do it with startup disk creator if your using a Live of ubuntu 12.10
dark59linter: I am using archlinux
diex, did you select the live version from the list in unetbootin? or did you download the iso yourself?
dark59linter: I downloaded the is by myself
try again, this time selecting it from the list
now distos such as Zorin and any others i recommend unetbootin and listen to ok_wait that way we know if you selected the iso yourself
dark59linter: unetbootin is crap...it overwrites syslinux
and causes boot issues
Alright, well. alsamixergui is installed. Thanks.
diex, make sure to format the partition you're selecting as well
also format it to fat32
dark59linter, why fat?
ok_wait: do you mean I should reformat it?
diex: you can't use unetbootin with arch
yes
well if he is using the newest version then it will show up as fat. the older versions shouldnt matter
it doesn't work you have to use one of the others...read the wiki
fat32, thats bad
oh
and fat32 is aweful
ext2 should do fine
any one know if theres a good IRC channel where people hang out and talk about ubuntu on chromebooks?
kvothetech: I see , I am begging for a link which will guide me
older versions let USB's in UnetBootin have a NTFS Format and so many but newer versions took it out.
diex: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/USB_Installation_Media
HaiKaiDo: I dono, but how do you like your chromebook?
it explicitely says do ot use unetbootin
kvothetech depends ? the reason i say fat32 is because some people have trouble with Unetbootin
well i just got a cr-48 (the original one) today from a buddy of mine
HaiKaiDo: (Probably should be discussed on #ubuntu-offtopic )
I've got an older Ubuntu installed on another partition (/dev/sda5) and want to boot it inside a VM. I'm trying VirtualBox but it seems to insist on creating a disk image to boot from. Would another emulator work better for this?
kk
I'm running Ubuntu 12.04 for my main OS, btw.
dark59linter: because unetbootin overwrites stuff it shouldn't
kvothetech: exactly, i prefer the older version's of unetbootin
hey
how do i run VNC that is supposedly already installed
 ccc
in your menu it should be something like 'video lan player'
so you should be able to type 'player'
should already be in your menu
vln i mean
for terminal, you can just issue 'vlc'
for remote desktop
kvothetech: I did not read the unetbootin on this particular page since it is written under on windows section, when tou told me it made sense a bit
vln?
ya
blargg: whatever you're booting into in a VM has to be bootable.  I would imagine there are "how to run another partition in vbox" type posts on the web, but that wouldn't be supported here
hey why running this command ? grep --exclude-dir=static/* -ir "completed" .   its still not excluding STATIC dir ?
vnc
12.x worked badly for me
lol
VNC
i would use rdesktop directly for rdp
yeah lol
 /join #php
oops
srry bout that one
sorry.
smokin.. drinkin..
yeats, thanks.
what you smokin \42\drinking\r\u lol
so, vnc? did you install the client or server? there are several different ones, b ut in general they should be in either tools or internet
these packages do install .desktop links..
 many thanks folks. hope to see you next time
 you could in a terminal do: cd .local; find .|grep -i vnc
you need help just shout out diex
doe anyone know if its possible and if so how can i tell which app should use a vpn connection.??
anyone here ever installed ubuntu on a cr-48?
i would let you know if i had one HaiKaiDo
join #swift
are you having problems installing ?
well not really
i got one for free today from a buddy of mine
Hows it run?
and i didnt even ask what it had one it
he had 11.04 running
runs quite well
but I was curious, after reading about installing ubuntu theres alot of inital steps
i cant stand how they just switched gnome with unity
^
and i didnt know if there anything required to wipe the install
and upgrade to 12.04
other than just the normal wiping partitions and reinstalling
dark59linter: gnome 2 is discontinued and gnome 3 wasn't really that great
well
eventually when i get 12.04 installed
im gonna install cinnamon
xD
gordonjcp i just hate it slowed down the whole OS
cant find cinnamon with apt-cache
what is it?
and iv got cinnamon on one of my disks
its great
yep
i also enjoy the Pinguy OS
* IThess523 isn't trolling, but wonders how do you guys feel about Unity vs Cinnamon?
i like cinnamon much better than unity
its like gnome 2
i cant stand unity it was the worse thing for ubuntu to even do
minus compiz and whatnot
xangua?
i thought we were talking about ubuntu?
yes but he wants to become a channel op
rules are rules
XD
lol
well ill stop talking about the cr-48
but unity and cinnamon are ubuntu relevant
:P
I just did a fresh install of Ubuntu 12.10 (64bit).  Now whenever, I click on Browse Network in Nautilus, I get a timeout error.  If I 20 seconds or so and try again it works.  Anyone have solution?
@Giddeon have you set your dns servers to openDNS (or an equiv?)
@user no I haven't
hi, I'm installing a Linux Ubuntu VM and I ran into this while installing VM Tools. The path "" is not a valid path to the 3.5.0-17-generic kernel headers. I remember running into this issue before and never resolving it.
well, that got off. lol
I'm installing a Linux VM and I ran into this while installing VM Tools. The path "" is not a valid path to the 3.5.0-17-generic kernel headers. Does anyone know how to fix this?
hey, I am in vboxusers group and I still cannot use USB subsystem on VirtualBox. Any ideas?
mike_papa add USB support with the Users And Groups Inside Administration options
datk59linter: you mean VirtualBox permission on advanced settings? I did.
have you downloaded the main package from VM website ?
for USB support ?
dark59linter: main and extention.
which one did you download ?
dark59linter: from http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/server-storage/virtualbox/downloads/index.html - virtualbox-4.2_4.2.4-81684~Ubuntu~quantal_i386.deb and Oracle_VM_VirtualBox_Extension_Pack-4.2.4-81684.vbox-extpack
Hi, I just bought a Microsoft Sculpt keyboard because it provides a typing experience close to my Dell XPS' laptop keyboard. The problem I'm having is that it has some Win8 specific keys and I'm having problems fixing this... Any advices?
eindoofus: How are you installing it?
through the terminal. I extracted it and did the ./vmware-install.pl
I first mounted the vm tools through vmware workstation
eindoofus: Why not apt?
eindoofus: sudo apt-get install open-vm-tools  ?
when I tried the apt on a different distro it didn't seem to do anything. It didn't fix my resolution or any of that
dark59linter: I don't need to re-login after adding group, right?
eindoofus: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VMware/Tools
thanks
NP
hmmm
mike_papa: Yes you do.
usrl3: that may be a problem...
mike_papa: Why is that?
ok. any idea how to "freeze" UCK, logout, login and resume UCK?
mike_papa: hummm... i dono
usrl3: I spent last 2 hours on customizing liveCD, and now I just need to run VM for sec.
is there a firewall turned on by default in Ubuntu?
It seems no one has any suggestion to my earlier question... So I'm going to ask something else: What keyboard are you using?
Has anyone else had an issue like this.. I created a .desktop file and added it to dash using xdg-desktop-menu, and it shows up in dash and works and everything, but it has no name when it appears in dash (just an icon) and I only know it is my application because i searched for it. my .desktop file has a Name and Comment attribute set..
how do i get to Ubuntu firewall settings?
ccc_: check out this https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UncomplicatedFirewall ?
iptables
or firestarter for clicky clicky thing
newbie q: I'm unable to create files in /etc/apache2 ... I get permission errors when I try to create a new file in that directory (I'm on aws)
SunMoonStar: you shouldn't need to do anything special for it to show up in the dash, just drop the .desktop file into ~/.local/share/applications/ (or /usr/share/applications/)
hypergrove: are you root?
trism: what xdg does is it does that.. in my case it put it automatically in ~/.local/share/applications and I see that it's there..
hypergrove, possibly  don't have permission to do that. ls -alF to check file owner and mod
SunMoonStar: can you pastebin the file that's there?
trism: http://pastebin.com/s2Z0GkBr
Hello
Can anyone of you explain what is " group your tabs " stand for ... it is delete things?
edoedo: what program?
Ubuntu
edoedo: where are you seeing it say group your tabs
hold on
Firefox
edoedo: http://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/tab-groups-organize-tabs
SunMoonStar: strange, looks fine to me
mmm orange crush
weldan: tx I see it is root root... so is the process (a) chmod 777 /etc/apache2/available (b) copy file to directory (c) chmod back
trism: thanks trism at least for the sanity check
OKay one more question SunMoonStar
hypergrove: no
hypergrove: use sudo
Can you explain how I can delete history?
SunMoonStar: though, I don't see DisplayName in any of my .desktop files
i'd LIKE to be part of the root group while I'm configuring the server.
* Evil_Eric waves in trism general direction 
SunMoonStar: though I don't see why it should matter, it should ignore any entries it doesn't recognize
trism: I tried it without it though, wasn't the cause of the problem. It was added by some 'Main Menu' program that I downloaded from repos that is for .desktop files
hypergrove, $ sudo -s to get root access, enter password.
gordonjcp: tx for your comment - I don't see how sudo relates to copying files using winscp to the server
hypergrove, chmod to change file permission, chown to change owner
hypergrove: oh, you're copying them remotely?
yes sir, tx
hypergrove: I'd copy them to my homedir then ssh in and move them
chmod {permission} {path}{files}
edoedo: history -c
chown {owner}{group}  {path}{files}
SunMoonStar: have you relogged between adding the file? maybe it is somehow inconsistent
edoedo: or check ~/.bash_history
trism: not yet maybe that's it. I should really have asked that before coming here with the problem but I hate logging off lol
gordon & weldan: ok i'll do that thank you.
chown -R to change owner for all files and folder in that folder recursively
alright.
trism tried that* I mean
SunMoonStar: understandable, I don't know that it will help but the desktop file looks fine so I'm not sure what else it would be
trism: thanks anyway :)
Does anybody know how to run XChat Gnome through TOR?
tor runs as a proxy, so just set xchat to use the proxy under Network->Network Setup
hi, I was having a hard time installing vmware tools due to it not being to find the kernel headers (this problem also prevented me from starting with ubuntu in a past version) and I finally found the solution somewhere. In case anyone else comes around asking the same question here is the solution: http://askubuntu.com/questions/131351/how-to-install-vmware-tools
Assuming the gnomeified version lets you do that.
I am aware it is a proxy, but i think thats the problem
i cant where to change the proxy settings in this client
this is my first time using it
If the gnome version doesn't let you set the proxy, just uninstall xchat-gnome and use normal xchat
gotcha... thanks man
when you use normal xchat, you'll have a network option under settings
well, settings preferences
helo

hi guys. i have an onboard video output for my machine
i created an xorg.conf file and the resolution displayed fine
but now when i upgraded from 12.04 to 12.10
it just doesn't have any video output anymore
dysun, ONE line please
oh ok
Anyone know whats wrong with kernel.ubuntu.com?
it's getting update for a new kernel - NOT !!
updated***
so anyone have any info as how I can get skype working on quantal? x64
Hi guys. I downloaded Ubuntu 12.04 and was having an issue where the resolution was stuck at 800x600. I have an onboard video output. Digging through the forums, I created an xorg.conf file under /etc/X11/xorg.conf with the following input
Section  "Device"
Identifier      "XGI Z7/Z9"
Driver          "sis"
BusID           "PCI:06:05:0"
EndSection
dysun, the card is an SIS?
07:05.0 VGA compatible controller: XGI Technology Inc. (eXtreme Graphics Innovation) Z7/Z9 (XG20 core)
noone has info on getting skype working on quantal x64? it keeps whining about skype-bin being uninstallable.
xDesu, got it from the partner repo?
Apparently it's not there..
dysun: wow that's one proper ghetto graphics card. i'm not surprised you're not getting any support
xDesu, seems to be, see above
yes, but then it depends on skype-bin which is nowhere to be found.
xDesu, you did enable the partner repo, right?
xDesu, if you didn't get it from the partner repository, we can't guarantee it'll work.  and i can confirm its in the partner repository.
Yes.
xDesu, how did you add the partner repo
Synaptic>repos>partner repo, BAM
dysun: have you followed: http://www.excession.org.uk/blog/ubuntu-1204-and-xgi-graphics-cards.html ?
I had skype working in 12.10
xDesu, so what is the *exact* error
xDesu: You should get the deb from Skype.com and see if that works
http://paste.ubuntu.com/1381055/
daftykins: yes i followed that guide, but when i upgraded to 12.10 it looked all messed up
debv is 32-bit only, whines about incorrect architecture.
adknight87, thats not good advice
Bazhang: I get it there first plus they have 4.2
adknight87, ALways a good idea to add from repos First
dysun: in your paste, the card has a different PCI Bus ID to what you have in your xorg
adknight87, what is so important about a .1 ?
Bazhang: overlapping of contacts and integration of msn in login process
I don't care about a .1 difference, hell I wouldn't even mind an alpha release from whenever. I just need it to work.
adknight87, please recommend using the package management system FIRST, not a 3rd party website
Bazhang: That was a bit redundant the third party application is produced from them.
daftykins: hold on...rebooting computer
adknight87, please see your PM
bazhang: Says you are away xD
I'm with a big trouble: I need nautilus to show file sizes in the normal way (base2) instead base 10. I'm working with differents OS and the Ubuntu is the only one displaying this wrongly. How can I change this?
you mean using MiB vs MB ?
Screw it, I'll scrap my sources.list and get a new one.
 
new sauce!
xDesu: Are you running 64bit version of 12.10
dr_willis: yes
adknight87, yes I am.
xDesu: Strange I had it running with the skype wrapper too xD Hmm hmm hmm what ppa were you pulling from to get skype?
xDesu: Just ubuntu's sources right?
I'm trying to setup an  storage server with ACL and Eicel to manage in graphical way, and I just have a little problem, I already create some users without home directory and samba users. after a reboot I just do Right click and Acces control list and I cant see users there. what can I do?
adknight87, yea, nothing out of the norm
xDesu: did you try a force install?
Marlo: samba users are separate to user accounts
yep, just whined about not being able to correct any problems
daftykins, so what shoould I do? how can I see the users in Eiciel?
xDesu: Give me a momento to check out skype on the ppa
Marlo: i'm not familiar with that software, are there no docs?
daftykins, any way thank you!
Does any body here have some experience with ACL and EICIEL? I can not see users in eiciel!

Hello. Can some one help me with my Sansa Clip? I am having trouble getting Banshee To sync Podcasts to it.
adknight sorry, I was checking my sources.list, that's already in there if that's what you wanted to know.
Want a copy of it via pastebin?
Hmm no I believe you. It's the same version I have from skype.com.
That's all I wanted to check out from the repository
:(
xDesu: Do you not want to get it from there?
on their sight I can only get i386 packages for whatever reason.
site*
xDesu: give me a second and I'll get you a link.
yes please.
xDesu: http://beta.skype.com/en/download-skype/skype-for-linux/downloading/?type=ubuntu64
...and then the download didn't start...yay
O.o give me a second then
http://download.skype.com/linux/skype-ubuntu-precise_4.1.0.20-1_i386.deb
...i386...
It's multiarch
i386 backed but supports 64bit
Supposedly, but my system keeps whining about incompatible architecture. :/
then the package isnt multiarch
if it were multiarch it should say as much.
This is what I use
I have the file
and I'm running 64bit
So it works
let me try again
isent there some support libs needed for multi arch to work?
I just deployed the deb and it works out of box xD
bazhang: so when are you going to read your pm's
...I hate life right now:dpkg: error processing Downloads/skype-ubuntu-precise_4.1.0.20-1_i386.deb (--install): package architecture (i386) does not match system (amd64)

YAY! more errors were encountered, fun time.
would be great if there was at least one mirror for it ..
*sigh* I'll just go downgrade or something, Quantal's just a bunch of headaches.
Is there a streaming bit torrent client for Linux?
deadmund: azureus/vuze is supposed to have inbuilt media support
Pkunk what about transmission or deluge?

Where can I see the configuration of a Directory I share with samba in Graphical way? I'm trying to find it in /etc/samba/smb.conf but I cant find it
marlo: that would be under usershares if you use the GUI
Nevermind I guess I should be happy with even having gpodder that will handle the podcasts.
Pkunk, where can I see it ?
Pkunk, where can I find them ?
usually in /var/lib/samba/usershares
Pkunk, yes I can see them but how can I know the configuration file samba made?
does anyone know a email client that is better than thunderbird?
well if you used the GUI then samba wouldn't create the conf file
stephan_arch2, thats entirely subjective. try evolution and some others and decide
bazhang, looking for something lightweight and not overfilled
stephan_arch2, have a look in the software centre
is there a channel for ubuntu audio or linux audio?
Pkunk, the problem is that I'm trying to use ACL and EICIEL, if I share a directory modifying the smb.conf I cant see the users with EICIEL but if I share the directory with graphical mode I can see the, I would like to see what is happening in the config file, led me show you my configuration in smb.conf... |||   http://paste.ubuntu.com/1381145/
why is life so boring
marlo: imo that might be a q better asked in #samba

escott not sure if i understand what do you mean?
Heather_, samba NFS ssh what
port 80 ? :D
Heather_, in that case the permissions need to be such that the apache server can write to the folder
Heather_, so figure out what apache runs as
okay ty

Oh he meant detailed
how do I add custom libs?
/usr/lib?
DarkAceLaptop, what kinda link ?
soft , hard ?
link?
.so files
sorry if you want to link a lib to sometthing then you can just place where ever you like then link it
er
"Please add the library files to your distribution libraries in case of malfunction."
that's what the program's manual says
oh /usrlib ?
oh /usr/lib ?
I dunno
that
that's what I'm asking :P
it doesn't tell me
DarkAceLaptop,  can you start with like i am trying to do X and I have doen X and X Happens ?
I am unsure  distribution libraries
I know how to link libs in cmake
http://www.minecraftwiki.net/wiki/User:Ha3#Installing
juju  DarkAceLaptop
?
juju?
DarkAceLaptop,  cloud or personal server ?
wat
mincraft
oh
minecraft *
I don't have a server
Ok
DarkAceLaptop,  juju is great for minecraft here is youtube video searching
...
you might like this with Nick     http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3tHWz4YhIOw
er
I'm still trying to find out where I should be placing MAtmos's .so files :P
/usr/lib doesn't seem to have helped
I am reading link that you sent
okay
I am trying to boot up a server and it stops at "Stopping configure virtual network devices"
holy crap, theres 1548 people in here
DarkAceLaptop, how many files is MAtmos  ?
greats
bobweaver, there are 6 .so files
any idea where it might be going wrong or how I might find out?
deadcode, not make a sense
and 1 .jar
blackshirt: eh ?
DarkAceLaptop, so you can mkdir in usr/lib named <Libname > then place libs in there
for each one?
big or small number of people was not make a sense
No
bobweaver, DarkAceLaptop you really shouldnt be messing with /usr/lib
too late :P
DarkAceLaptop, so like /usr/lib/<this is where all linked libs go >
bobweaver, DarkAceLaptop /usr/local/lib or /opt are fine
you can make folder there
just like all unity lens
I am so confuse xD
like cd /usr/lib/unity-lens-videos/
ls
see you can have Folder or directory there , or like escott said
folder or dir = same thing
escott, didn't work
ahh
DarkAceLaptop, I dont even know what you are doing
I don't know what I'm supposed to do there
make a folder?
DarkAceLaptop, so saying "didn't work" is pretty meaningless
escott, just some *.so files
I am guessing c++
libs
Minecraft ^^
Minecraft mod editor, actually
Hey, I've got another problem. It's been happening since.... 11.04 I think. A completely new installation doesn't help anything, so I think it might be hardware, but I've got to check just to be sure.
brainard52, 11.04 is end of life
I'm on 12.10, now lol. I said that it's been happening SINCE then.
brainard52, what has
Whenever I'm in a virtual console, text periodically lays over whatever I'm doing. If I'm in bash, it inserts onto the next open space, and if I'm in VI or something, it just lays over starting at the tp. A redraw will make the text go away, but it still keeps coming.
is it possible to completely remove firefox with out screwing up ubuntu
what happens when the release of ubuntu versions hits "z" ?
DarkAceLaptop, I do not play that many games tbch but I do know that all the libs that I see says to put them in /usr/lib/  Or maybe other know more then I am we can all learn from them ?
brainard52, and that text says what
How would I copy text while in a virtual console?
I'll get the text, but it would be more efficient if I didn't have to write it down.
I thought that /usr/local/* is for stuff that is installed but not sure
brainard52, then check dmesg
bobweaver, problem is that their documentation sucks, I don't even know what I'm supposed to do. "Please add the library files to your distribution libraries in case of malfunction." is all I have to go on...
like sandboxed   ?
brainard52, saying there is text is about as helpful as saying "there is this window that keeps popping up"
distro libs are in /usr/lib/ BUT you can use other places and also *link BINARY files* "man ln "
Sorry, I know that.
http://paste.ubuntu.com/1381185/ There you go. Like I said, I assume it's got something to do with my HDD, but I'm not going to say I know for sure.
Well, not just for my HDD, but that it might be failing.
Is there a way to kick off a cloud-init run using a file? I'm trying to diagnose why this userdata/boot isn't working... the error message is useless
brainard52, you should only see that when the device connected
connects
That's really weird. I get it regularily.
sdb... I don't even have anything connected to sdb.
well, nothing IS sdb at the moment.
I've got my phone plugged in... Should I turn off debugging?
That would disable ADB, right?
bobweaver, I put them there, it didn't work
mat my usb to make a ubuntu boot  is it fat or ntfs ?
does anyone know how to display centered text on terminal from a bash script?
I think that makes sense
Hello
hello
Any one know if a ubuntu usb startup should be formatted as fat or ntfs ?
escott, might it help if I turned off debugging on my phone? I've got it connected for tethering, but I think that's why it's giving me the message. That's the only device connected, and I've got a single hard drive.
Fat32
i dont think so
will  W95 FAT32 (LBA) (Bootable)
work
I think its bootibale

When I connect galaxy note 10.1 to ubuntu 12.10 with MTP a process called gvfsd-gphoto2 starts hogging on my memory and using up to 3GB, is this usual?
Most likely not. Unfortunately, I don't have a GN10.1. I'd look into changing it to mass storage.

what kind of argument(s) should I pass to mkdir() in php if I want to give apache (www-data) read and write permission?
Heather_: depends on if you're ding it as www-data
How would you suggest blocking dmesg from virtual consoles? I would prefer to just redirect them all to a specific Virtual Console, but I'm not sure if that can be done currently.
Im in 12.10, and I would like to have .deb "open" set to synaptic instead of the ubuntu software center. Where do I change that?
question: if I create a folder through mkdir in a folder that is owned by www-data does the subfolders owner also become www-data automaticly?
I'd just use synaptic to install gdebi, and it will default to that.
Hello world! I am having a problem on installing "Bengali-Omega" package in my Ubuntu 12.04 OS. I have downloaded the .zip file but don't know what to do next.Can any of you guys help me installing the package?
Please reply yes first
Heather_: it depends on how you create it (what user are you creating the sub-dir with)?
kutu: what is the "Bengali-Omega" package?
@milamber,It is a package for doing bengali language processing in Tex
milamber thanks for answering but I managed to fix it
kutu: is this it http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/help/Catalogue/entries/bengali-omega.html   ??
@milamber,yes
kutu: the installation instructions are only for windows based systems
question: what ports do I want to allow for a webhosting server? 80 22 and mysql?
@milamber, yes and I don't know how to install latex packages in Ubuntu
where are TeX packages kept in Ubuntu?
Heather_: it depends on what you are hosting. for people to visit the site you just need 80. if external people need access to the box you can enable ssh, but usually 3306 is closed by default
kutu: my knowledge of all things tex is very limited. i won't be able to help you
just visist and upload files so I guess its suffiecent with 80 only? So I need to allow 3306 aswell then?
OK I will try ubuntu Forums then

does anyone use wine on here? if so that types of programs can be transfered to linux
Hello milamber

Guest40536, check the appdb
well the iso is loaded can i dd if of it to usb?
adv__: hello
milamber: well the iso is loaded can i dd if of it to usb?
any recomendations tho. i would like to swithch to linux fully, but i need a Cad program from my windows machine
adv__: yes
Guest40536, you need to check what works. check the database.
can you give example?
milamber: can you give example?
thank you for the help
Guest40536, special application help in #winehq
Guest40536: it depends on what you want to do. freecad is in the repos, as is blender. another option is brl-cad for solid geometry
adv__: dd bs=4M if=/path/to/iso of=/dev/sdx  (where sdx is the usb drive. do not get this wrong.)
milamber: will give it a go
rt now..
milamber: also trying it in vm vbox
hello
i have a problem installing ubuntu on my pc can anyone help me
milamber: will dd expand the iso to destination?
adv__: define expand
milamber: hmm..... like .. unzip...
hi
when i reach the install screen with the language choises the screen freezes up then i black screen with bunch of code appearing then it goes back to the install screen but the picture is all scrambled and still frozen
adv__: the current isos for ubuntu (and many other systems now) are considered hybrids. using dd to move it will allow the usb to be run as if you had burned it to cd. as opposed to just copying a file called <image>.iso
adv__: i think that answers what you asked
how to open .exe files in ubuntu???
need any plugins??
kinnu: Install wine.
milamber: thanks a lot...

Or use a Virtualbox and run Windows there.

kinnu: you may save yourself some trouble by checking the app database for wine
can someone help me regarding libstdc++ ?? when I install it there are many conflicts http://pastebin.com/W61BVXAi
milamber, thanks
kinnu: .exe files are windows executables
apt-cache search NAME can work.
dawcreck, did you verify the data of the iso you downloaded, I had that problem myself, ended up having to redownload, and all went well
ya dere r windows excutable but do we have any plugins to execute those??
Im on a server with virtualenvwrapper installed on ubuntu; it works on bash, but not on zsh. I can't find a "source virtualenvwrapper.sh" anywhere, nor can i even find that file installed. how is it even loading it?
kinnu what program are you trying to run?
visual c
downloaded bunch of times the new version older version  tried burning it tries usb version all the same problem
elisa871: you already have it installed, not being specific about a package ubuntu will go ham and try and install all the packages that have that. is there a reason why you think libstdc++ is not installed and/or working properly?
elisa871: see lines 92 - 95 of your pastebin
kinnu: trying to run visual c in ubuntu is a bad idea. if you need it use a virtualbox like worm said
kk
kinnu: what is the end goal if you don't mind my asking? do you need to compile c programs? or do you need to do something specific with visual?
i need write sum programs and execute it....but unable to run visual c!!
which version of Visual C?
man I havent been here since I was on my old g60
hi #ubuntu when I run ubuntu CD I  see  gparted but when I turn to the installed ver  it goes missing ! what happens?
milamber I am trying to "make" the "mcpat" in ubuntu and it says it cannot find libstdc++ http://paste.ubuntu.com/1381325/
kinnu: all i can say is that ubuntu has great developer tools to build c code, google for "ubuntu c tutorial"
kinnu, looks like visual c version 6 runs well under wine... but any version AFTER that is just garbage.
riqdiiz: it's removed... ;))

I need to get my laptop fully working right so I can use apps like vmware and virtualbox
thanks topper4125
thanks milamber
milamber how do you know that it's expecting 32 bit version?

how do i get sound to work in ubuntu, i need to restart it or something it wass working now its not thanks

lol
milamber thanks.
rebooting is what i DONT wish to do
i jsut want sound thx
riqdiiz: it should
just the sound, thx
xuber: i got that, and what i was getting at is , if a re-boot, restores sound, then active post boot is the cause of your loss of sound :)
ok i restarted alsa with force-reload
activity
how do i properly restart pulseaudio
i killed it with -k
im suspecting thats the problem in my audio stack
xuber: pulseaudio --start
i tried it that way and -D
didnt work first time
but after killing and restarting couple times i got it now...
i got it now
great
whenever it fails i know pulse was likely the issue, just was a lil harder to get back up now
xuber, glad to 'hear' that...
my laptop went crazy heh, almost locked up on me, novou (spelling) vid driver went nuts but managed to save my session
that when my audio went crazy
xuber: are you familiar with ctrl + alt + f2  ? (switches you over to a terminal)
ugh yea, it wasnt responding

how can i check it topper4125
but something just doesnt work well with the 32 bit libs on 64 bit kernel
topper4125  :   java version "1.6.0_24"
arabi open a terminal type "java --version"
the 32 bit flash works great on my 32 bit os

OpenJDK Client VM (build 20.0-b12, mixed mode, sharing)
arabi, and in firefox check your add-ons>>Plugins list, see if you have the IceTea plugin installed there
topper4125 i can't see it
arabi, add it through Firefox (Add-ons >> Get add ons)
Im on a server with virtualenvwrapper installed on ubuntu; it works on bash, but not on zsh. I can't find a "source virtualenvwrapper.sh" anywhere, nor can i even find that file installed. how is it even loading it?

arkiver: Then it will be dig -t TXT gj._challenge.donatemystatus.com
Why exactly did unity 2d get canned?
tonyyarusso, thanks :D
allegedly, because it was becoming to difficult to maintain the two different versions of the desktop.
pfft
I can't run normal Unity on my netbook
:|
they figured that anyone really depending on the 2d version of unity, moved on to XFCE, or LXDE
or found gnome2 again
arkiver: alternatively, you can toss +short into the arguments to get a more compact output
I have the same problem (I own 3 netbooks) I just run XFCE on all 3 of them
Unity 2d was perfect for netbooks
I still run 12.04 LTS (Which I *THINK* has 2d in it... but I just ignore it lol)
they used to have a Netbook remix that I loved... and they dropped
Like I said, unity2d was great for netbooks
Wasn't Unity originally in the netbook remix?
Yes
The basic idea, at least
Then why the hell doesn't it work on netbooks anymore?
I imagine hardware acceleration or something
Netbooks have largely fallen to the wayside, too
It was a hot item for a few years
Netbooks are inexpensive and portable
They're like the best idea ever
Sure are, but they were also pretty underpowered, especially if you kept on the default Windows which most users did
Chromebook + Linux makes an awesome netbook
The Netbook remix was a deadend, at least to the extent that it doesn't allow for a more capable (and flashy) form of Unity.
flashy is stupid
function is more important than form
fully agree...
There isn't any reason one can't have both, though flashy is less the goal than "tastefully decorated."
And I agree that the functionality is the most important.
aye aye

I'm running ubuntu on a usb stick on a remote computer.  When I reboot it, it prompts me to remove the usb stick before it restarts.  How can I avoid this prompt so I can just issue reboot and not have it hang until I physically walk over to it and do it manually?
I guess I  will have to come back later
nimbos: from the command line: sudo shutdown -r now
milamber, that will by-pass the prompt asking me to remove the usb?
nimbos: iirc
i do not want to walk out to the shed where the computer is... it's a freakin rain storm.
;)
hi
 folks
noob here .. ??
cna any body tell channel which i should join
sciotric: it depends on what information you are looking for
my ubuntu is working slow want to make it faster
delete all unneccesary files and uninstall old programs you don't use, clear the apt cache, etc.
nimbos, If milamber's sudo shutdown prompts you for password, use the following: history -d $((HISTCMD-1)) && echo '[PASSWORD]' | sudo -S shutdown now
you put history -d $((HISTCMD-1)) && before that code, to ensure that line doesn't appear in the history file.
i am not getting how to uninstal programmes ..
thank you tropper4145
how much memory do you have sciotric?
360gb
Not hard drive, RAM
RAM
2bg
sciotric, you can uninstall programs using the software center.
You might be running a UI that is too memory intense

try running unity 2d or using a different desktop
omg, didn't work :( gonna kill myself running out to the shed
Hello everyone :)
are hardware questions acceptable?
kgs1992, just ask... if someone knows, they'll answer
Last night my laptop wouldn't boot (and still doesn't). I described my problem on ##hardware. I have a small update to the problem & was wondering if that would help to narrow the problem down to a single part.
I tried with & without the battery with the power cable connected, but all I see when I press the power button is the light on the power button & the exhaust turning on.
Ruled out a display problem by connecting to an external diplay; nothing works
no sound either
I left the laptop without any power supply connected through the night (10 hours) & when I tried turning it on right now, it powered on & booted up to the Ubuntu loading screen & powered off midway & now doesn't turn on at all
hello
in the ubuntu 12.10
If anyone has any idea as to what the faulty part might be, please highlight me; thank you :)
Dead battery
kgs1992: Run a memtest
Never mind, didn't read close enough
Not even possible
doesn;t boot at all
In ubuntu 12.10 has been incorporated some change to the mount to the drives, giving a user name to the mount in mount folder ?
just the power button lights up
kgs1992: Hm... ok...
kgs1992: Meh I dunno, ##hardware is seriously a better place for this
I wish know if is only my install
hello i have problem with openoffice.org :: i create an word one and after i finish my work with it i tried to convert it to .doc to read it by windows but i cant  so i return back to ubuntu to open by chang it to . org i did not open ,,,,,,,why??
Okay, thanks theadmin Just wanted to see if anyone has any idea
kgs1992, ya.. I agree with theadmin, anytime one of my systems does that... Its usually in the dumpster as quickly as I can, after pulling the HD
Okay, no laptop for a few months then :/
another question.
anybody has noticed the new mount system about the usb's or external drives ?
gabrign, can't say I've noticed anything new.
kgs1992: you could try removing the cdrom, my laptop presented these symtoms once and taking out the cdrom fixed it. I had to tare the dam thing completlly apart before I figured that out
topper4125 I dont know if is only me: When I put a drive usb, the mount directory now is /mount/username/usb1
before was /mount/usb1
somebody more happen this ?
If I pull the home folder from my HDD & paste it into a different machine running the same version of Ubuntu after re-installing all my previous programs, will I be able to keep all my settings, logs, etc. for the programs I've installed?
kgs1992: really all you can do is change out components until you figure out what the problem is
kgs1992: probablly not
kgs1992, if the data isn't encrypted, it should be good to go from one system to the next... just be sure the ubuntu version is the same or newer
smitty: I'll try :) But I don't think this is going to fix easily :/
topper4125: 32 to 64 bit shift will cause problems for data, right?
gabrign: Yeah, that's normal. I'm not sure what introduced that change.
you don't want to go backwards (12.10 back to 12.04 for example) if a config file has settings for 12.10, that wern't in 12.04 on a program you use, it could cause breakage.
theadmin ! Thanks thanks! I only need know if was only me
kgs1992, honestly don't know, but I wouldn't think it would for data, only binaries/executables
Okay, cool. I'll try my luck.
Thanks a ton peeps :)
I guess for make the mounting between users more simple, or more obscure to others, for example: The admin mount some drive, but the rest of the users isn't necesary to know
 hello i have problem with openoffice.org :: i create an word one and after i finish my work with it i tried to convert it to .doc to read it by windows but i cant  so i return back to ubuntu to open by chang it to . org i did not open ,,,,,,,why??
kgs1992, np and good luck... if all else fails.. if the 64 bit system has the room/ram, install a 32 bit ubuntu in VirtualBox?
nah, not gonna do that. I'll just start over. :)
openoffice can read .doc files
What I need most is XChat logs
kgs1992, starting over would prolly be best... good luck
kgs1992, xchat logs will have *no* problem going from 32 to 64
thanks :)
Why is ubuntu'ss volume control so sensitive the last "clicks"
cool then I guess I'll see if I can get the laptop running & if I can, i'll sell it & get a new one :) Until then, I'm gonna have to use Win 8 on my desktop :'(
:'(
kgs1992, sorry to hear about your desktop... 8... ouch
WINDOWS 8 IS PURE EVIL
I tried to install matlab scientific computing envoiroment, but while I was installing it, it asked me to locate the matlab folder. But I didnt have the folder. Despite that fact, there was no cancel operation, and now I have a ghost installation in progress without knowing how to kill it..
kgs1992: I would sugest a duel boot but I woudn't want to screw with that without a working laptop :(
Will somebody give me advice on how to turn off dmesg output to Virtual Consoles?  I'm learning VIM, and it get's really annoying when there's constantly output overlaying things.
if there is anything good about windows 8, its this: Steam came to Linux because of how un-impressed they were when they saw what M$ was doing with 8.
can someone help me?
+1 for linux steam!
Just realized.. There aren't going to be many wait-in-line games available for it for a while.
Techna_Rave_Pony , i know but i speak about from .org to be read by .doc ,  but any way now i have my .org file but i cant open it
TF2 will work for linux, I might have to start playing it
Yeah. I just looked at the list. Probably a third of them were released in Humble Bundles
how can I will an installation that is stuck in progress?
will=kill
This is my dad's desk & it had Ubuntu installed until he installed Win 8. But after Win 8 was installed (which I think he didn't do properly), I'm unable to see a boot menu. But I don't wanna mess around with this because there's a sh*tload of data on this & I can't afford to lose it.
I'm not much of a gamer at all (assault cube and solitaire are about it for me) but I'm really happy about the Steam thing... it'll make Linux in general better, and more accepted.
kgs1992: I'm sure it's some M$ trickery
lol
I thought Win 8 would be as bad as Vista before I used it.
Now I know it's worse
kgs, windows probably installed M$'s equivalent of GRUB.I've not touched Windows in /years/ so I wouldn't know.
dang
brainard52_: Probably. That's what I thought too. But as I said, I'm not messing around on this PC.
I had a friend who went to Frys to buy a new laptop after his last one died. All they had were windows 8 machines, he spent about 45 min there, when went to the apple store and got a mac book pro
the mac/win hour?
kgs1992, if you have a decent sized USB stick (8gig or better) you could install linux on a stick with a presistance partition on the USB, all work/changes/etc will happen on the stick only leaving the HardDrive safe
I'm still trying to figure out how to disable dmesg output to virtual consoles. It's bugging the crap out of me -.-
You could also run Ubuntu in a VM, using virtualbox
Oh yes, that sounds good. Will look into it. thanks topper4125
VBox <3
don't VMs cause problems?
hello
brainard52, try this link... looks promising for your question: http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/ubuntu-linux/108071-dmesg-output-all-ttys.html
Not really. You might run into Vbox-specific bugs from time to time, but Ubuntu works well with Vbox.
Thanks, I'll let you know.
dnewkirk: I've noticed that USB devices misbehave. I need my phone to connect via adb ( Android debugging Bridge ) :/
kgs1992: That is true, usb unctionality can sufer at points. I haven't run ino issues in some time, but I don't have any idea regarind adb :(
topper4125: I'm getting "Permission Denied" I'm using sudo, too.
Hmm. I have a 32 GB USB stick, which I don't mind losing if it comes to that, so I'll try getting Ubuntu to run on that. If that doesn't cut it, then I guess I'll have to use a VMor live with Win 8
When it comes down to it, Windows 8 is a little odd at first but it actually isn't bad once you get used to it.
Can't you just switch to a Win7-like GUI?
kgs1992, 32gb will be plenty big enough to hold you over till you get your system back up/replaced.
you'll loose a bit of preformance (USB speeds and what not, but its better than nothing)
brainard52, I'm not finding anyother solutions except the one link I sent you.. not sure what the deal is with the permission denied.. never encountered that
 Drivers don't work well (read as don't work at all) for my device on win 8 :/ Also, I'm very comfortable with Ubuntu now. Switchin to Win is going to be difficult.
topper4125: I can live with that :)
topper4125: Meh, I've got a thread on the ubuntu forums, hopefully I can get answers tomorrow. For now, I'll just use the terminal rather than a virtual console.
brainard52, k... hope you find the answer soon.
hi
Thankies. I'll figure something out. There's another quick fix that I could do, but I'm not sure if I want to. It's more reverseable than the first option.
I'm in the same boat kgs1992 is in... my son in law brought his laptop over the other day with a problem (win7) and I was totally lost on how to fix what should have been a simple fix...
here's the other option I have. I'm wary about doing this only because it might have information I need if I screw up more. http://askubuntu.com/questions/97256/how-do-i-disable-messages-or-logging-from-printing-on-the-console-virtual-termin
Woah, I just realized logcat is Android's equivalent of dmesg.
-n, --console-level level
              sole.  The  level is a level number or abbreviation of the level
              name. For all supported levels see dmesg --help output.
              For example, -n 1 or -n  alert  prevents  all  messages,  except
              emergency  (panic) messages, from appearing on the console.  All
try not to laugh. I was hunting for the minimize button on the top left of the screen for about 2 minutes when I started Windows up :D
brainard52: why do you want to use a virtual console vs a regular terminal?
you can set different levels of alertness... 1 to 8
Using a virtual console leaves tty7 clean and it allows me to focus on whatever I'm doing because there aren't all these other things going on.
wasn't expecting that paste job to flood... didn't see all the hard coded CR's in it :(
Do you recommend any layer on top of GNU build toolset to make it easier?
topper, I think you're supposed to use pastebinit. sudo apt-get install pastebinit
brainard52: if you are staying in tty then consider using tmux
*googles tmux*
brainard52: that's pretty hard core man
Well, I'm just learning VIM, and I don't want to be distracted :p
brainard52: did you try fullscreen mode on a terminal?
I'm guessing that would make more keystrokes if I did decide I wanted to look at reference material. One sec, I'll try it out. BTW, tmux looks intriguing.
Yeah, FS on a terminal won't cut it :/
brainard52: i think it's just F11 from a terminal
brainard52: tmux is a must-have on tty if you want to be able to use more than one terminal
brainard52: you could use a full screen terminal with workspaces for an extra good time
Alrighty. Will dmesg output to tmux consoles?
brainard52: i don't see why not
You see, I'm having a problem where dmesg things are appearing in my tty1-6, so it's getting in the way of things like VIM.
im being retarded and cant seem to find / and or install diffutils / binutils . i do sudo apt-get install diffutils and it says its already installed. i try to run it from the terminal and it says command not fond : /
KidBeta, install synaptic package manager, and find it from there.

Yeah, It should help a bit.
I'll never understand why they stopped shipping synaptic with the ubuntu distro...
I need help resolving a repository issue. Been experimenting with video-stabilizing recently, and therefor tried the suggestion here under "1. Install up-to-date FFmpeg": http://bernaerts.dyndns.org/linux/214-ubuntu-stabilize-video-melt
It didn't work, but it messed up my repository. Now I can't install ffmpeg nor kdenlive nor mplayer nor mencoder etc etc. I get error message like this: ffmpeg: Depends: libpostproc51 (< 4:0.5.9-99) but 6:0.7.13-0ubuntu0jon1~lucid1 is to be installed or libpostproc-extra-51 (< 4:0.5.9-99)
both are installed according to the package manager :/
Can anyone help me fix this? So far I've deleted the repository again, and tried typing sudo aptitude update, but that's obviously not enough.
ok all.. this is odd.. I have here my laptop, which has ubuntu 12.04.1 32-bit on it, and I've changed out the RAM, so I put 12.10 64-bit onto a flashdrive.. when I opened the installer in 12.10 it's giving me the option to upgrade the existing system.. is it safe/wise/possible to jump architectures like that?
KidBeta, reinstall them?
or have I founf some kind of bug?
It may be a bug. See if there's anything in the Ubuntu changelogs.
Wow, I'm not awake. Not changelogs... Bah, I'm going to stop talking.
Question; If I plug in my laptop's HDD as a slave on my desk, will I be able to boot into the OS installed on that HDD?
gartral: no, you can't upgrade a 32bit install to 64bit
Hi, im trying to understand the output of mount command. can anyone please explain this output?
#linu
libsqlfs_mount on /opt/var/kdb/db type fuse.libsqlfs_mount (rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime,user_id=0,group_id=0,default_permissions,allow_other)
gartral, http://askubuntu.com/questions/81824/how-can-i-switch-a-32-bit-installation-to-a-64-bit-one
kgs1992, should be able to if the BIOS on the desktop allows it.
I can understand  that libsqlfs_mount is mounted on "/opt/var/kdb/db" and its  type is fuse.libsqlfs_mount
And its Read write mount, but what does these below means?
It won't affect the master HDD on the PC, right?
nosuid,nodev,relatime,user_id=0,group_id=0,default_permissions,allow_other
auronandace topper4125 i'm not asking if I can, i was more stating the Ubuntu Installer seems to think I can.
kgs1992, I don't think it will, it may appear as a mounted device...
cool :) I will give it a try
brainard52 still a no go :(
gartral... ahh.. .k gotcha. Unless you click "upgrade" and moments later (After it does some checking and noticed THEN that its a 32 bit system... then ya... its a bug
Hi All
dd if of -- iso to pendrive
but its persistant
can i unpersistant it??
topper4125: and.. it *IS* possible to "archjump". it;s just very hard and pretty much require rebuilding the entire OS piece by piece.
KidBeta: Well, if the system says they're installed, they're installed. Do those things need permissions to run?
i just tried sudo. and still not found :/
yup... but after a while, it gets to the difficulty level where most ask themselves "What's the point" and just re-install
topper4125: can I pm ya?
sure
KidBeta: I mean group permissions.
b4now
hey!
Kidbeta, to run diffutils, are you typing just "diff" in the terminal?
hi... I have moved a harddisk with ubuntu 12.04 to a new machine - and it does not recognize the network card (ethernet) - how can I make it do that without reinstalling the system?
topper4125 well that works but binutils still doesnt
thank you
says binutils is used by the following terminal commands: addr2line, ar, as, c++filt, elfedit, gold, gprof, ld, ld.bfd, ld.gold, nm, objcopy, objdump, ranlib, readelf, size, strings, strip
because its a collection of tools and im retarded
all good fellas
thanks everyone
* gartral can not fight curiosity any more.. 
kidbeta... k... hope it helped...
it did :P
gartral: backup what you need first
is there a way to get a card reader to work on linux 3.2+
auronandace: already did that!
gartral: good
0.0
stroodlepup little more info required, is it built in, is it a usb card reader.
stroodlepup, Depends on which brand you have
it's built in...
auronandace: i.. er.. it.. holey crap.
it's from an hp 550 laptop
from my quick googline apparntly the card reader is 'ok' under linux
if this thing boots after this, i'm going to drink 6 beers just so I can understand HOW it worked

I need help with UEFI and DUAL BOOT INSTALLATION THANKS
MonkeyDust, i'm looking to get a laptop
not a desktop
i have 12.04 LTS on CD and 12.10 on dvd. when starting both up via live CD i have to use the nomoeset option. this is what gets me, 12.04 LTS works nice and fast, smooth. no hassles but 12.10 crawls like a game that doesnt have enough system resources. laggy. does this mean 12.10 wont work on my pc but 12.04LTS will? apologies Ubottu, im new to this type of thing.
what video card HTC-DZ ?
its the onboard nvidia 6150
Interesting
willis, im using nomodeset because the graphics card is giving me problems. it hangs with a black screen. iv read some forums where other people had ussues with the graphics card and were advised to use the nomodeset option which is what worked for me too
hello ... on 12.04 i have problems playing and ripping original audio cd's. some tracks (beginning of cd) are played/ripped with distorted sound. i tried with different programs (rhythmbox/sound juicer 4 rip / rhythmbox+xmms2 4 play) and on 2 different computers, the cd's are new original audio cd's that play fine on hw cd player. what can i try? is this a known issue with 12.04?
HTC-DZ: With nomodeset you're probably not getting hardware accelerated 3D. Ubuntu 12.04 has a 2D fallback for Unity, Ubuntu 12.10 uses Unity 3D, but if you don't have GPU acceleration does 3D rendering with the CPU, which is incredibly slow. If you switch to XFCE or any other non-3D Desktop (or get proper 3D drivers) everything should be snappy again.
if it helps, 12.04 lts is on CD-R and 12.10 is on DVD-RW. do you think that could affect live cd performance?
koinandable: Distorted in what way? Can you upload a small example somewhere?
HTC-DZ: No. It's almost certainly as I explained it.
jordan what you saying is i should download the drivers from here http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux-display-amd64-260.19.36-driver.html and 12.10 should work fine?
anywhere i can see a graph of processor usage?
Jordan_U, distorted like overdriven, will try to find a site where i can upload audio
*on my system
never mind
HTC-DZ: No. If you want to install Nvidia drivers you should use the Additional Drivers tool, installing directly from Nvidia will cause problems.
oh ok jordan. can i test it out on a live cd first to see if it will work fine before installing to HDD or will that not be possible coz il have to restart the machine after the drivers are installed?
HTC-DZ: It's not possible because it requires a restart. (That's not technically true, it's possible but difficult and I don't have the time to walk you through it).
oh ok no problem jordan, thanks though. think il use an old 40gig to test it out. if i can get that up and running fine il redo it on my 500GB one. :)
Jordan_U: Thanks, I didn't know that
that's actually really neat
ok done, uploaded a sample to http://vocaroo.com/i/s1jFCPg0haQb
how can I add envelope indicator back if I have removed it?
AceBlade2581: You're welcome :)
koinandable: that sounds... like a bad rip...
yes, funy thing is that later tracks are ok (although with a very llow bitrate)
koinandable: what are you ripping them as?
thanks for all the help guys :) P.S - im a noob to linux and irc. chatrooms were never my thing. :) thanks for having the patience to put up with me :)
doesnt matter, issue is with playing the cd and with ripping it, first tried flac, then mp3
koinandable: so even playing them sounds like that
yes
koinandable: Might not help, but try ripping to mp3 and running "mp3gain /path/to/file.mp3" then try playing the mp3 again.
Hi. Does anyone know anything about a virus taking over Tor?
try ##security
koinandable: Interestingly, while it sounds somewhat like clipping, looking at the waveform in Audacity it doesn't look like clipping.
Jordan_U, ty, but i'm sure this wont do anything. this occurs with other cd's as well but only with the first 1-5 tracks, later tracks are/play ok
koinandable: Is that with all cd's?
do you have another OS to test with, it may be a hardware problem
AceBlade258, no, only some, it's even  different for cd's from one set (like double cd for instance)
i have only 2x 12.04, deleted windows... which i regret now :( .. but it is the same on2 computers
koinandable: do you know if those CD's are 16/44.1kHz
koinandable: This person seems to have a similar problem, and fixed it with a firmware update: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1828139
or 16/48kHz
I'm with Jordan_U, firmware update can't hurt

:) while chatting i installed it to try later, that was the program i always used in the past, just thought, that all cd ripping in linux uses it as basis ... but will try it on command line where options can be tuned better
hello
koinandable: If nothing else, it might tell you what's wrong.
what is default firewall shipped with ubuntu, and how can i open specific port like 1234 ?
koinandable: And I'm curious how this goes, so if you don't mind please keep me informed if cdparanoia works, or if you ever figure out more.
Jordan_U ... yes, true ... afk now, thx for your help again

koinandable: It looks like cdrtools uses libparanoia, and most tools used to use cdrtools until the licensing problems came to light: http://lwn.net/Articles/195167/

Hi, is it right using the tar -a option to auto-detect the extension of an archive to extract?
It works but the man says it's good only for compress
tar -ca arch.gz
tar -ca arch.bz2
sorry
tar -xa arch.gz
Virunga: For uncompressing, it automatically detects with no arguments.
koinandable: Also, libparanoia doesn't have features that some people would like, among other things it can't extract metadata from CDs and it doesn't "make use of the maximum speed available from a CDROM drive." ( http://www.xiph.org/paranoia/faq.html#gimme ) which both make it less appealing as a default ripping library / utility. As you can see from that FAQ though, it is very focused on working around defects in hardware to ...
oh :D
... get a perfect rip.

FauxFaux: thank you!

why does RubyRipper always screw up CDDB tags with an '-' in?
btw some of the newer ati cards are giving ppl greif over the memory loss issue
RJ45  because the developper liked it that way, i guess
no answer?
how do I fix this?
I keep having to change loadsa files in EasyTag
it sucks
use a different program RJ45
how do I change the boot splash to just the kernel messages (text)? I changed  "quiet splash"  to "splash"  and run sudo update-grub but splash is still there

RJ45  ask in #bash how to write a script to remove the dashes, or find a config file where you can specify it
Hi all I am trying to upgrade my wubi installation from 11.04 to 11.10 but it wont upgrade anyone have any ideas?
Reaver: no way!, RubyRipper is the only one I've found that doesn't spew out erroneous FLACs!
lol ok
then take Monkey dust advice do a script
RJ45  try asunder
MonkeyDust: no, I mean any track name from CDDB that contains a '-', it just cuts off half the tag and re-arranges stuff!
RJ45  or the command jack -Q -R, i a termnal
I'm buying a sound blaster card. Afraid it might not work, I will ask the seller to let me test it. I'll run ubuntu and test the audio. If it plays a sound, I'll assume it worked. But, will ubuntu detect and configure it automatically ? Or I have to change something on my own before playing the sound ?
@funkt have you tried opening the command line and typing do-release-upgrade ?
errrr no
MonkeyDust: that's the one that kept spewing out erroneous FLACs!
whats
the command?
do-release-upgrade
what type that into the terminal?
yes
RJ45  asunder 'spews out' .ogg files here, you can specify it
plus RubyRupper reads CDs precisely
you will need to sudo it
oh whoops already going is that bad?
RJ45  then try the terminal command
MonkeyDust: seriously?, is English not ur native language?, I can specify format, when I specify FLAC, is keeps making faulty FLACs!
An unresolvable problem occurred while calculating the upgrade:
E:Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be
caused by held packages.
MonkeyDust: I need CDDB, plus terminal would take forever!
What is System V runlevel compatibility ?
thats what i seem to get?
This can be caused by:
* Upgrading to a pre-release version of Ubuntu
* Running the current pre-release version of Ubuntu
* Unofficial software packages not provided by Ubuntu
ok sorry
RJ45  terminal is the fastest way
MonkeyDust: RubyRiper is nice GUI and is automated.
also error checking.
RJ45  try jack -Q -R maybe you like it
MonkeyDust: NO DAMN COMMAND LINES!
Is there a way to install ubuntu to a udf filesystem?
RJ45  sounds like you don't want to be helped or try something new, then
NO DAMN COMMAND LINES...?> ??????

unity reduces my battery life, would the backports repository help? (to recieve unity updates)
do the unity updates in backports help improve battery life
?
LyzardKing: Erm, why would there be unity updates in backports?
LyzardKing: ie, I really really doubt there are any there.
jpds: yes in fact there are none, and it actually makes sense.
hello
jpds: I just nedd to figure out why unity reduces my battery
with graphic drivers and all up to date it's just not as good as gnome or even other distros
LyzardKing: Probably because it's more graphic intensive.
isn't there a way to reduce power consumption?
anyone knows how to apt-get the programming language R ?
shevy: r-base ?
LyzardKing, sure. run powertop and see whats sucking all the juic
shevy: it should be r-base and r-base-dev
oh yes that worked, thanks a lot!

Hey guys! Do you know how to extend a partition with free space?
Confucius  add free space to an existing partition? if yes, backup first, then use gparted on the live cd
Confucius smart guy.
MonkeyDust I have tried it,but gparted just can reduce the existing space of this partition, not add
@confucius gparted should be able to add space too;
@confucius if there is a partition next to your ubuntu partition, you will have to move that to the right
Confucius  backup, then delete the partition and and add the free space - rather drastic, i admit
@confucius before extending your ubuntu partition
which printers are best supported in ubuntu?
canon?...
Confucius: gparted will shrink a partition and then use the free space to expand another, (if they are next to each other, if not, one will need to be moved.)
Tashtego: plug it in and try, i'd say a lot of them are supported- but "best" no idea
Confucius: In other words, you have to leave free space *next to* the partition you want to enlarge.
Tashtego: Erm, no. I'd say, for linux in general, HP laserprinters as well as a large number of other printers, too.
i will never buy a hp ever again in my life!
I'd never buy anything else, regarding printers. :) Thats a personal decision for everyone.
hp f380 -> 400 megs for a simple driver. tested with 2 devices on 3 computers. it ran NOWHERE!
2 printers, 3 different computers, windows and linux.... but nevermind
not the point in this channel. thx for the help
Tashtego: printers are a nightmare whatever the OS
idd
One must have patience when dealing with printers.  No doubt about it. It is not HPs fault, it's not the printer's fault, it's the industries fault.
How would i dl a C libary linux/gpio through terminal?
yeats: except windows... honestly
@usr13 the free space already next to the extending partition,why I couldn't add it
Confucius: What kind of error did it give you?  Or... what was the problem?
Confucius: I know that it works.  I've done it numerous times.
Confucius: Do you have the drive booted up now?  Or do you have it plugged in?
AceBlade258: after you've done printer sharing on a network that mixes OSs, you'll probably agree that windows is just as much of a pain, but this is off topic
Confucius: If so, show me; sudo fdisk -l | pastebinit
@mokeydust such a drasic way I think. in fact,i don't have much space to backup
Confucius  tip: use TAB for nick completion
Confucius: May be that you just didn't understand how to operate gparted's interface.
Confucius: Try again and look closely at the options.
testar: Doesnt ' apt-get download <pkg> ' help you ?
testar: if you are looking for source  then 'apt-get source <pkg>' ??
Confucius: What live CD are you using? See:  http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php
Confucius: http://gparted.sourceforge.net/  #Click Help tab for more info.
@usr13 i use the ubuntu-liveCD,it have installed gparted
Confucius: That's ok.  Above links are *FYI*
@usr13 OK,i will read it and try again
Confucius: But I keep the gparted LiveCD in my breafcase as well.
