[11:12] <piggy_> MonkeyDust: thanks, but it has a bunch of UUID in there, how do i convert /dev/sda3 to a UUID ?
[11:12] <MonkeyDust> doomsday  when someone has the answer, they will probably help you
[11:13] <adnan360> 12.10 live usb does not work!!! shows black screen
[11:13] <MonkeyDust> piggy_  guess uuid is not really needed, sda3 will do -- but type blkid ro find out what the uuid is
[11:13] <leo234> ciao
[11:13] <leo234> !list
[11:14] <MonkeyDust> the listalians are awake
[11:15] <piggy_> MonkeyDust: hmm, i cant find the UUID for sda3, typing 'blkid ro' didnt do anything
[11:15] <piggy_> (no output)
[11:15] <doomsday> so no one knows how to fix a i/o error then
[11:15] <dubac0> would a Philips SA3MXX04WA/02  work with ubuntu?

[11:18] <doomsday> not supported
[11:18] <doomsday> well one minuit it was working then it wasnt

[11:23] <Alinn> Hi
[11:24] <gordonjcp> doomsday: have you checked the cables, and tried it in another machine?
[11:24] <doomsday> oh for fuck sake
[11:24] <Tm_T> doomsday: language, please
[11:24] <doomsday> yea all of them
[11:24] <gordonjcp> doomsday: so the fault follows the drive?

[11:24] <gordonjcp> doomsday: depends how they're used
[11:24] <Alinn> Can anyone help?
[11:24] <gordonjcp> doomsday: I have some hard drives that are over 20 years old that work just fine; I have had some fail in months
[11:25] <doomsday> storing movies music and other stuff
[11:25] <gordonjcp> doomsday: is the drive noisy?
[11:25] <MonkeyDust> Alinn  try classic (no effects)

[11:28] <doomsday> fsck dosent work
[11:28] <doomsday> any others
[11:28] <gordonjcp> doomsday: fsck won't work if you haven't got a filesystem on it
[11:28] <piggy_> MonkeyDust: i'll tr, thanks
[11:29] <gordonjcp> doomsday: run "sudo fdisk -l /dev/sda" and pastebin the last dozen or so lines from dmesg
[11:29] <piggy_> MonkeyDust: still not working:
[11:29] <gordonjcp> that should attempt to list all the partitions, and dmesg will show the actual errors
[11:29] <piggy_> john@john-VirtualBox ~/stuff $ touch hi
[11:29] <piggy_> touch: cannot touch `hi': Permission denied
[11:29] <doomsday> tried that aswell didnt work
[11:30] <gordonjcp> doomsday: no, you didn't
[11:30] <gordonjcp> doomsday: I can tell you didn't, because I'm not looking at a pastebin link with the last dozen lines of dmesg in it
[11:30] <doomsday> thats because their was no messages from the terminal
[11:31] <doomsday> wait what
[11:31] <doomsday> dmesg
[11:32] <doomsday> is it like a log or ssomthing
[11:32] <maskboss> hi ppl! i'm really new to this, i installed ubuntu for the first time, and nothing appeared on my desktop, someone here helped me to install xfce, and it worked. now i have another problem. sometimes my mouse pointer just desappears! can someone help me?
[11:33] <gordonjcp> doomsday: type "dmesg" in a terminal
[11:33] <gordonjcp> masses of stuff will scroll up your screen

[11:34] <doomsday> whats that

[11:35] <gordonjcp> basically that's the messages from the kernel driver that handles disks
[11:35] <doomsday> huh nevermind
[11:35] <doomsday> as i said i/o error
[11:35] <gordonjcp> translating into human, it's saying "this disk is knackered, throw it in the bin"
[11:35] <gordonjcp> yeah, but that has some very specific information about the type of error
[11:35] <doomsday> fuck
[11:36] <gordonjcp> doomsday: stop saying that, you'll annoy the ops

[11:39] <palasso> I'm on Ubuntu 12.10 and installed virtualbox-qt but when I try to start up a VM it shows me two windows with two error messages.  http://paste.ubuntu.com/1388817/ Can anyone plz help?
[11:39] <doomsday> so much for a media pc
[11:39] <maskboss> gordonjcp: actually i don't mind get back into ubuntu! somone here gave me XFCE as a solution... i can get back to ubuntu if u tell me how..
[11:39] <doomsday> i hate being a tecch demon
[11:39] <doomsday> everything seems to die with me
[11:39] <gordonjcp> maskboss: when you log in, if you click on the little "gear" symbol beside your name and password it'll let you pick which DE you use
[11:39] <gordonjcp> doomsday: an 80GB drive is probably quite old now
[11:40] <OerHeks> maxtor is acquired by Seagate Technology in 2006, so that drive is very old.
[11:40] <maskboss> gordonjcp: since i have no mouse.. i'll give it a try.. lol :P thanks

[11:40] <gordonjcp> user1234234: pretty much all of them
[11:40] <doomsday> especialy when its a ide one
[11:40] <lhavelund> !hardware > user1234234
[11:40] <gordonjcp> user1234234: NVidia is about the only graphics chipset fully supported in Linux
[11:41] <user1234234> yes i've had good experience with nvidia.
[11:41] <doomsday> its weird actually cos ive installed ubuntu on a 40gb ide drive
[11:41] <doomsday> and thats fine
[11:41] <gordonjcp> yeah, it just depends on the drive, how it's been treated etc
[11:41] <doomsday> i suppose
[11:41] <doomsday> well im finished here
[11:42] <doomsday> if you cant help
[11:42] <Darkstar1> Anyone know how one can download the latest sun jdk on a remote server
[11:42] <maskboss> gordonjcp: ok, loggin out gave-me the mouse pointer back! now i'm on ubuntu, WITH mouse, but with the same problem before... just the wallpaper and mouse pointer showin..
[11:42] <doomsday> thanx for trying
[11:42] <Darkstar1> ?
[11:42] <palasso> Can anyone help?
[11:43] <BluesKaj> palasso, just ask your question
[11:43] <palasso> I'm on Ubuntu 12.10 and installed virtualbox-qt but when I try to start up a VM it shows me two windows with two error messages.  http://paste.ubuntu.com/1388817/
[11:44] <Darkstar1> anyone?
[11:44] <maskboss> actually i can access the terminal. nothing else :/
[11:44] <FauxFaux> palasso: sudo dpkg-reconfigure dkms # probably gives errors about lack of headers packages?  Install them.
[11:45] <BluesKaj> palasso, first of all , do you have virtualization enabled in the BIOS
[11:46] <palasso> Before a couple of weeks I was on Linux Mint 13 and it worked fine and before three months I was on Kubuntu 12.04 and it worked fine also.
[11:46] <maskboss> ppl i'm new on this, i'm on ubuntu and only wallpaper and mouse pointer appears...
[11:46] <FauxFaux> Then you upgraded your kernel, ignored the errors, and it broke.  Big suprise.
[11:46] <palasso> I haven't ever searched for a BIOS setting for virtualization
[11:47] <palasso> I tried the command FauxFaux but didn't fix the problem
[11:47] <palasso> FauxFaux I did a clean install at all times
[11:48] <palasso> Also I don't get from anywhere report of linux headers missing :/
[11:49] <BluesKaj> palasso, did you follow the instructions and reinstall the OS kernel
[11:50] <SpecialEd> Hey guys, getting this error message appearing in my /var/mail/root PHP Warning:  Module 'apc' already loaded in Unknown on line 0  this message appears each time CRON runs.  I've confirmed that /etc/php5/cli/php.ini & /etc/php5/fpm/php.ini do not have any references to apc & /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini has the following references (lines separated by pipes): apc.enabled = 1 | apc.shm_segments
[11:50] <SpecialEd> = 1 | apc.shm_size = 100M | apc.filters = "-/usr/share/phpmyadmin/.*"
[11:50] <palasso> I didn't reinstall any OS kernel. I just did a clean install of Ubuntu 12.10 and then installed apps (one of them is VirtualBox) and then noticed VirtualBox wasn't working
[11:50] <maskboss> i'm on ubuntu and only wallpaper and mouse pointer appears... can someone help me?
[11:52] <palasso> Also there isn't any vboxdrv on /etc/init.d/ that the error message mentions
[11:52] <OerHeks> palasso, try "sudo modprobe vboxdrv" and start vbox again
[11:53] <palasso> I tried this since I found it on Ubuntu Forums but didn't work
[11:53] <palasso> When I try the command OerHeks it says 'FATAL: Module vboxdrv not found.'
[11:56] <MonkeyDust> palasso  this command worked for me, when vbox wouldnt start
[11:56] <MonkeyDust> sudo modprobe vboxdrv;sudo modprobe vboxnetflt
[11:56] <subdesign> any idea why i cant kill wine in ubuntu?
[11:57] <cjae> could someone please help me connect to my samba share (NAS), the samba share is setup and I can see and access it from my file broswer. I cannot get mount.cifs to mount it correctly under /mnt on this box
[11:57] <palasso> Doesn't work MonkeyDust on me :/
[11:57] <maskboss> how do i loggout ubuntu in the terminal?
[11:58] <force> moneydust,find the pid of wine and kill
[11:58] <pLr> maskboss ctrl+d
[11:58] <palasso> I don't know if it correlates but I noticed that on 'Additional Drivers' tab on 'Software Sources' it says "No proprietary drivers are in use' and it doesn't show up any options for proprietary drivers (I have an AMD GPU)
[11:58] <palasso> And also fglrx isn't installed as I can see from Synaptic
[11:59] <palasso> I guess VirtualBox is using the kernel and the drivers somehow. Could it be a more general bug that affects 'Additional Drivers' too?
[12:00] <BluesKaj> subdesign, if you are runnining windows .exe files then wine file association autolinks to theoe files
[12:00] <BluesKaj> those files
[12:02] <thanigai> after start a dial up init.d  service, ubuntu dosnt shutdown. please help me

[12:21] <Alberto_> Hi. I am having a problem with CrashPlanDesktop and found out that someone solved it by removing package "libgail-common". Does removing it break anything important (apart from accessibility functions which I don't use)?

[12:34] <vbgunz> can dnsmasq cause a complete lockup of a system? My system is locking up randomly and as I go through the time of freeze, I am noticing quite a bit of activity with dnsmasq and it's the only thing standing out
[12:36] <gordonjcp> vbgunz: I wouldn't have thought so

[12:45] <biopyte> hi, i have a problem on low bandwith internet connections. one of my applications needs a constant minimum bandwith otherwise it will break down and i have to restart, what is very annoying. is there a tool which can assign guranteed bandwith to specific applications? kind of 'bandwith-nice'?
[12:49] <fontenay_> hello, someone can help me with busybox and initframfs error on my office computeur (pleeease)
[12:50] <vbgunz> biopyte: I really don't know what application can do that but if your router or modem supports Qos, maybe that can be something to look into?
[12:51] <vbgunz> I'm not saying it will work but I just believe it could be something that may be worth looking into
[12:51] <lucido> My AR9285 based wifi card keeps disconnecting if I am more than 3 meters away from the access point, why is that?
[12:51] <gordonjcp> well if you need to shape bandwidth, doing it on the router is most sensible
[12:51] <llutz_> biopyte: you might want to read about "tc" traffic control
[12:52] <biopyte> vbgunz, ok thanks
[12:53] <llutz_> !info iproute | biopyte tc comes with this package
[12:53] <biopyte> i dont have a router, its just a mobile broadband usbstick ... i check out tc, thx
[12:55] <biopyte> tc looks like it can do what i want, but syntax is rather difficult ... i'll see
[12:56] <llutz_> biopyte: isn't latency more the problem than bandwidth on mobile-broadband?
[12:56] <ohyran333> Hi does anyone one knows alternative ways to get a laptop screen to be recognized? I have a Asus Zenbook that boots to black screen but by connecting an external monitor I can still use it.
[12:57] <ohyran333> nomodeset or removing quiet splast in grub doesn't work btw.
[12:57] <ohyran333> *splash
[12:57] <biopyte> llutz, i dont exactly know ... the problem is like this: i have my prefered app on a low bandwith connection and everything is fine. once i start browsing too much with firefox it will break down.
[12:57] <jackbrownhf>  Hello is anyone available to help me installing Windows 7 + Linux in a GPT UEFI Laptop ?
[12:57] <krababbel> biopyte: you can't control download reliably
[12:57] <biopyte> llutz, on high bandwith its no issue
[12:58] <kruxer> How can i change the boot partition? (ubuntu 12.04)
[12:58] <biopyte> krababbel: i thought there must be something like "nice" for bandwith (instead cpu)
[12:59] <krababbel> biopyte: you can control upload, and prioritise packets created by your preferred application, but that only works up to a point, but better than nothing I think
[12:59] <biopyte> well, tc might be the right thing
[12:59] <lucido> I need some halp with my ath9k wifi card, it keeps asking for the ap password if I'm not right next to the ap
[12:59] <kruxer> It's currently booting from Windows partition, I wanna change it to the ubuntu, actually grub.
[12:59] <gordonjcp> biopyte: running that on your local machine won't really work
[12:59] <gordonjcp> biopyte: not if you share the connection
[12:59] <krababbel> biopyte: IP doesn't work like that. You'd have to have control over the entire network path to effectively allocate bandwith, like in a LAN
[13:00] <biopyte> ok
[13:00] <biopyte> in case latency and not bandwith is the problem ... would there be a solution? probably not.
[13:00] <ohyran333> kruxer: Can't you set that in Bios?
[13:01] <kruxer> ohyran333, didn't try that. is it possible?
[13:02] <biopyte> krababbel, i understand
[13:02] <ohyran333> Well you can set boot order in Bios
[13:02] <krababbel> biopyte: the same I already suggested, upload QoS could reduce jitter, so latency would vary less. Of course you cannot lower your real latency to a server by yourself
[13:02] <ohyran333> (Im in NOOOOO way an expert at this... but Ive been fiddling about in bios the last days)
[13:02] <biopyte> alright
[13:03] <krababbel> biopyte: I have such a setup, and unless I open more than 10 tabs at once, it works ok, lowers the jitter a bit
[13:03] <kruxer> ohyran333, check that in a few moment, letting you know the result
[13:03] <kruxer> ohyran333, tnx
[13:04] <biopyte> krababbel, but QoS is for routers not for mobile?!
[13:05] <krababbel> biopyte: true, I believe wireless is different. I guess LTE would be the only way to have packets over wireless networks or something I read. I don't use mobile internet here.
[13:06] <qwedas> asd
[13:06] <biopyte> krababbel, i thik this is getting too difficult, thx anyway
[13:06] <krababbel> biopyte: but still, if a user is using a lot of bandwidth, a local router could maybe reduce the effect
[13:06] <kruxer> didn't worker the bios change!
[13:07] <krababbel> biopyte: it is a bit involved, and the router has to support it
[13:07] <biopyte> ok
[13:07] <krababbel> :)
[13:07] <kruxer> How can I change the booting partition, my current boot partition is windows, wanna change it to grub...!
[13:08] <kruxer> How can i change to boot partition?
[13:08] <biopyte> krababbel, dont want to get too involved ... was thinking of something like "bandwith-nice firefox 0"   ;)
[13:08] <krababbel> kruxer, grub is a bootloader, and it is probably not on a partition on your pc, but in the MBR of the harddrive
[13:09] <krababbel> biopyte: there is a program you could try I guess
[13:09] <chris__> Hi there just installed 12.04 and I would like to have the option of having the gnome interface I know that someone mentioned this maybe possible could anyone put me i  the right direction?
[13:09] <raven> xubuntu 12.10 not maximized windows hide behind panels, any ideas? http://picpaste.com/b580abeeea2bff2142dc3619eef7dedd.jpg
[13:09] <biopyte> what program?
[13:10] <krababbel> biopyte: wondershaper or maybe trickle do automatic tc setup
[13:10] <BluesKaj> kruxer , o reinstall grub to the ubuntu drive , boot into ubuntu live media (cd or usb), find the ubuntu drive designation with sudo fdisk -l , then run: 'sudo grub-install /dev/sdX , X being number assigned to the ubuntu drive/device.
[13:13] <biopyte> ha, ha ... wondershaper
[13:13] <biopyte> only 99.95$  ... :)
[13:13] <biopyte> ok, thx, i'll google these

[13:13] <krababbel> biopyte: no, should be in the repos, I used it some time ago

[13:15] <izx> Is it possible to install ubuntu 10.10 via CD in Dell Optiplex 390 system ??
[13:16] <OerHeks> izx, ubuntu 10.10 is EOL, so download a newer version.
[13:17] <izx> OerHeks: We are in the process of upgrading our software to support newer version of ubuntu, till that we are supposed to use only ubuntu 10.10.. Any way to install it via CD ??
[13:18] <OerHeks> izx sure you can install it, but you won't get updates.
[13:18] <biopyte> krababbel, trickle looks promising, thanks for that one ... i check it out later
[13:19] <izx> OerHeks: No Problem.. But we were not able to install it using CD Drive..
[13:19] <biopyte> seems to be exactly what i have been looking for     http://wiki.ubuntuusers.de/Trickle
[13:19] <OerHeks> izx why not?
[13:20] <krababbel> biopyte: no problem, just remember it is all an IP hack basically, you are trying to limit incoming packets, so the buffer of the ISP doesn't get full, causing dropouts. On wireless it might be even different still.
[13:20] <biopyte> i see ... sorry, wrong (non-english) link
[13:22] <krababbel> biopyte: and the only way to somehow limit incoming packets, because it isn't directly possible and out of control for you, is to make the other side, the server, think you cannot cope with more packets, so the sender slows down. This only works with one server, that's why it is unreliable when you open many tabs at once.
[13:23] <krababbel> biopyte: unless you limit you download speed to 10% or somethin per connection ;)
[13:23] <biopyte> got it
[13:23] <krababbel> just a rough overview :)
[13:24] <stefan877> hi, If an ubuntu system was not correctly shutted down, grub shows the GRUB-Menu without timeout
[13:24] <TTilus> what's that guid or hash-digest like string in parenthesis after every locally synchronized "Shared with me" folder name, names look like "The real name (15d69f8a-9207-43d5-b009-ff58e231002e)"
[13:24] <stefan877> how to let GRUB boot without pressing enter?
[13:24] <stefan877> in such case?
[13:24] <stefan877> Thanks.
[13:25] <Justaguy> Good morning, win inst 12.10,, blank desktop
[13:25] <izx> OerHeks: I guess due to graphics card issue, we were not able to install ubuntu 10.10 on Dell Optiplex 390.. Any solution ??
[13:25] <Justaguy> Had them then after a few reboots they gone
[13:26] <OerHeks> izx what videocard ?
[13:26] <izx> OerHeks: Intel
[13:29] <media-centre> hey does anyoine know how to fix the sound in ubuntu
[13:29] <Justaguy> Busy room any way to follow ? That you post for replies
[13:30] <media-centre> ive tried alsamixer and the sound settings
[13:30] <gordonjcp> media-centre: what's wrong with it?
[13:31] <usr13> izx: Why would an Intel video card stop you from installing Ubuntu?
[13:31] <media-centre> it aint playing out
[13:32] <usr13> media-centre: Let's do a test:  play /usr/share/sounds/alsa/*
[13:32] <BluesKaj> media-centre, which soundcard , you can check alsamixer top left - "chip"
[13:32] <usr13> media-centre: What does that say?
[13:33] <zlude> hello! i'm using a ubuntu server connected to a switch with a port mirror. So i wanna know what is the best way to monitor this mirror port with ubuntu.
[13:33] <media-centre> uh ok how do i do that
[13:33] <izx> usr13: I thing its a bug with ubuntu 10.10
[13:33] <BluesKaj> !who | media-centre
[13:33] <usr13> media-centre: Open a terminal, type in  play /usr/share/sounds/alsa/*  and hit enter.
[13:34] <usr13> izx: Use another version, (newer).
[13:34] <usr13> izx: Or, 10.04.4 LTS
[13:34] <media-centre> it comes up with the following
[13:34] <media-centre> The program 'play' is currently not installed.  You can install it by typing:
[13:34] <media-centre> sudo apt-get install sox
[13:35] <usr13> media-centre: sudo apt-get install sox   #And hit enter.
[13:35] <media-centre> ill give that a try now
[13:35] <izx> usr13: Where can i get the link for downloading 10.04.4 LTS
[13:36] <gordonjcp> izx: google ;-)
[13:36] <gordonjcp> izx: there's not much point though, since it's only around for a couple more months
[13:36] <usr13> izx: http://releases.ubuntu.com/lucid/
[13:36] <BluesKaj> izx, why 10.04 , whynot 12,04 LTS ?
[13:37] <usr13> BluesKaj: 10.04 IS LTS
[13:37] <gordonjcp> usr13: it's also eol
[13:37] <gordonjcp> (nearly)
[13:38] <BluesKaj> usr13, yes but like gordonjcp said , it's not supported as long and it's getting old
[13:38] <usr13> gordonjcp: No it isn't.  (It was his choice.)
[13:38] <izx> BluesKaj: 12.04 doesn't have gnome-classic, thats the only reason..
[13:38] <usr13> BluesKaj: It was his choice.
[13:38] <micjan02> i know that i can paste from my selection-clipboard by using shift-insert in terminal. how do i paste it in other apps? (the keyboard shortcut for middle-click)
[13:39] <ubuntu__> judgesultan
[13:39] <usr13> izx: Have you tried xfce?
[13:39] <xangua> izx: if by gnome-classic you mean gnome panel, it has....but gnome3.8 will not ;)
[13:39] <ubuntu__> hai
[13:39] <BluesKaj> usr13, well , merely making a suggestion so that he's aware
[13:39] <ubuntu__> exit
[13:40] <usr13> BluesKaj: Yes, you are.  I'm sorry.  I should let izx answer.
[13:40] <usr13> ... just got carried away correcting gordonjcp ...
[13:40] <izx> xangua: how abt 12.10? Does it have gnome-classic ??
[13:40] <usr13> izx: Have you tried xfce?
[13:40] <gordonjcp> izx: "gnome-classic"?
[13:41] <media-centre> right its playing
[13:41] <unique_> Hello. I have a problem with my wlan. He remains connected to the router. but in the browser I have to reload the page five times before establishing a connection. If I download,f.e. ubuntu  the download stops at some point and continues after some minutes
[13:41] <gordonjcp> izx: if you mean "Gnome 2", then no.  It's dead.
[13:41] <media-centre> but its really quiet
[13:41] <media-centre> im gonna try alsa mmixer again
[13:41] <usr13> media-centre: alsamixer  #and see what is turned down. PCM maybe?
[13:43] <Guest68186> ok here is my letter to ubuntu
[13:43] <izx> gordonjcp: Yes gnome 2

[13:47] <unique_> Hello. I have a problem with my wlan. He remains connected to the router. but in the browser I have to reload the page five times before establishing a connection. If I download,f.e. ubuntu  the download stops at some point and continues after some minutes
[13:47] <gordonjcp> izx: it's no longer developed
[13:47] <media-centre> ok i cant seem to enable switches on it
[13:48] <gordonjcp> izx: there is a fork of it, but I don't know how good it is
[13:48] <media-centre> does annyone know how to enable buttons on alsa mixer
[13:51] <jackbrownhf> Is there anyone experienced with GPT Hard Drive and UEFI BOOT ?
[13:52] <blaz_> hi guys.... i have a problem... namely when i ctrl+alt+direction to a desktop which has a fullscreen terminal I can still se the unity launcher and taskbar
[13:52] <blaz_> tough sometimes they disappear on their own sometimes not
[13:53] <blaz_> but they do never work
[13:53] <swordsmanz> <3 synaptic
[13:53] <BluesKaj> media-centre, use the arrow keys < > to navigate and up and down keys increase or decrease the volume , any ctrls with MM means muted , use the M key to un mute or mute
[13:53] <media-centre> ok
[13:54] <alanbananas> Hey guys, ive got a strange bug going on that I cant figure out, I had sound working before and then called "amixer set Master toggle" and the sound muted as expected, however, when I did "amixer set Master toggle" again, the sound didn't come back on again, and hasn't recovered even after a reboot?
[13:54] <dr_willis_> some sliders can be offscreen untill you arrow over to the right also media-centre
[13:55] <BluesKaj> media-centre, and if you are speaking to someone pls use their nick so we know who you are talking to
[13:55] <alanbananas> this is for the Headphones, alsamixer says that it is the headphones are muted, if I unmute them with m, then it goes to 00 instead of MM, but wont let me up the volume?
[13:56] <BluesKaj> alanbananas, use the up down keys for volume
[13:56] <alanbananas> It doesn't let me on the Headphones channel, only on the Master (which doesnt change the Headphones)

[13:57] <jbwiv> 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?
[13:57] <alanbananas> it also doesnt have anything like 0<>0 under it like the master does (master has 100<>100)
[13:59] <blaz_> anyone?
[13:59] <housry23> Does anyone know how to get a sdcard reader to work in Ubuntu12.10 64-bit?
[13:59] <housry23> Acer V3-551 laptop
[14:00] <BluesKaj> alanbananas,do you have any audio at all ?
[14:00] <nishttal2> hello ppl.. this morning i found that one of the servers had the file system as read only.. how can that change without a reboot?
[14:01] <nishttal2> its running Ubuntu 12.04 LTS
[14:01] <gordonjcp> nishttal2: it probably can't
[14:01] <gordonjcp> what's its uptime?
[14:01] <jbwiv> nishttal2, mount -o rw /filesystem
[14:01] <alanbananas> BluesKaj, I don't have speakers to plug in, but no audio through Headphones
[14:01] <nishttal2> gordonjcp: where should i check?
[14:01] <jbwiv> but I may be thinking of bsd
[14:01] <alanbananas> But it was working before I did amixer set Master toggle
[14:01] <BluesKaj> alanbananas, laptop?
[14:01] <gordonjcp> nishttal2: type "uptime" in a terminal
[14:01] <nishttal2> jbwiv: gordonjcp i rebooted and its fine now.. but how can this happen?
[14:01] <alanbananas> BluesKaj: Desktop
[14:01] <michalwan> join #linux-program
[14:02] <raven> xubuntu 12.10 not maximized windows hide behind panels, any ideas? http://picpaste.com/b580abeeea2bff2142dc3619eef7dedd.jpg
[14:02] <nishttal2> gordonjcp: now its saying 22 mins as i rebooted
[14:02] <gordonjcp> nishttal2: ah
[14:02] <BluesKaj> alanbananas, turn the volume down and try the Hps on the speaker out , to see if there's any audio at all
[14:03] <nishttal2> gordonjcp: is there a different log somewhere?
[14:03] <gordonjcp> yeah, in /var/log
[14:03] <gordonjcp> you either want messages or syslog
[14:03] <alanbananas> BluesKaj: Sorry how do I do that?
[14:04] <alanbananas> BluesKaj: I can't find a speaker out plug on my desktop
[14:04] <BluesKaj> alanbananas, usually on audio out on the back of the pc where speakers would normally be connected
[14:04] <alanbananas> BluesKaj: Only headphones and mic
[14:05] <nishttal2> gordonjcp: http://fpaste.org/mQpW/ does this mean the problem?
[14:05] <alanbananas> BluesKaj: Oh maybe not, ive plugged it into what I think is speaker out
[14:05] <gordonjcp> nishttal2: could be
[14:05] <Tecan> 12.10 great success :)
[14:06] <alanbananas> BluesKaj: Is this line or what?
[14:06] <Wiz_KeeD> hey guys
[14:06] <alanbananas> How do I tell amixer which to use as master?
[14:06] <Wiz_KeeD> can somebody please tell me how i can rename my user in ubuntu server 12.04 lts?
[14:07] <Wiz_KeeD> please?
[14:07] <BluesKaj> alanbananas, speaker output is the green one
[14:08] <nishttal2> gordonjcp: could this happen again and make the file-system read only
[14:08] <alanbananas> BluesKaj: Yep its plugged in
[14:08] <alanbananas> No sound but how do I tell it what is master?
[14:08] <Wiz_KeeD> can anyone lend a helping hand?
[14:09] <Dr_Willis> Wiz_KeeD:  i tend to make a new user, then move the old users files to the new users home and chown them
[14:09] <Dr_Willis> then i make SURE the new user has proper sudo rights if needed. ;)
[14:09] <BluesKaj> alanbananas, the master is probly marked PCM in alsamixer
[14:10] <Wiz_KeeD> hmm, isn't that a bit overkill Dr_Willis ?
[14:10] <Wiz_KeeD> isn't there a simple rename command?
[14:10] <Dr_Willis> Wiz_KeeD:  not that ive ever noticed
[14:10] <Wiz_KeeD> i'm pretty scared to do this by myself on a production server
[14:10] <Wiz_KeeD> who knows what i might mess up
[14:10] <Dr_Willis> safest way is to just make a new user then.
[14:10] <alanbananas> BluesKaj: Ummm im not exactly sure what im doing...
[14:11] <Wiz_KeeD> can you show me how?
[14:11] <Dr_Willis> sudo adduser billgates
[14:11] <Dr_Willis> ;)
[14:11] <alanbananas> BluesKaj: So im plugged into the green thing (speaker out) but no sound yet, what should I try changing in amixer?
[14:11] <Dr_Willis> why is the users name that imporntant? whats the reason for all this changeing
[14:11] <alanbananas> BluesKaj: I assume I need to tell it that the speaker out is the new master, or will it just work that out? (if so there is no sound)
[14:11] <Wiz_KeeD> heh
[14:11] <Wiz_KeeD> it's the same name on my localhost and i'd like to avoid confusion
[14:12] <Wiz_KeeD> and it's also the client's server i think it's only right the user should be the name of the company in respect to the idea that someone else might take over my doing
[14:12] <Dr_Willis> http://askubuntu.com/questions/205448/change-user-name
[14:12] <uictamale> Hey everyone.. I'm having a strange issue where my root partition keeps reporting as being 'full' when a simple count of the sizes of all my folders and files shows otherwise.  lsof identifies a huge ~/.xsession-errors open file handle, but there's no file there to be removed or cleaned out.  What can I do?
[14:13] <Dr_Willis> this guide mentions the usermod command also...
[14:13] <BluesKaj> alanbananas, the speaker out ctrl should be at 80% or so, if you have one , and the master about the same , you can't change the master because it controls the final volume for all ctrls
[14:13] <Dr_Willis> but the guide seems.. suspect.. because the first thing it wants you to do is unlock the root account. but that may be to avoide looseing sudo rights.
[14:13] <Dr_Willis> http://www.ubuntututorials.com/change-username-ubuntu-12-04/
[14:14] <alanbananas> BluesKaj: What would the speaker out ctrl be named?
[14:14] <alanbananas> PCM? Line?
[14:15] <alanbananas> S/PDIF?
[14:15] <Dr_Willis> pcm is the main audio i belive
[14:15] <BluesKaj> alanbananas, which chip is listed in alsamixer top left ? The speaker output will be "speaker" , if you have such a ctrl
[14:15] <Dr_Willis> line = line in. spdif = one of those fancy input/outputs
[14:16] <alanbananas> Analog Devices AD1984A
[14:16] <alanbananas> BluesKaj: There is no such ctrl as speaker though, only things like "Front, Headphone, PCM, LINE, CD, etc)
[14:16] <BluesKaj> PCM is your master alanbananas , I already mentioned that
[14:17] <BluesKaj> alanbananas, probly fron , just turn them all up , if nothing's connected then it won't matter
[14:17] <alanbananas> BluesKaj: But Master is already listed amongst Headphone PCM etc, anyway it doesnt seem to work
[14:18] <BluesKaj> what the volume is
[14:18] <jgdx> Anyone know if http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/ has a working mirror?
[14:18] <alanbananas> Around 50 on all the ones which are not disabled (some - like headphones) wont let me change up their volume
[14:19] <alanbananas> Actually though, its interesting that when I unmute beep and remute it, I head a click in my headphones
[14:20] <alanbananas> Ooo wait
[14:20] <alanbananas> I got a noise
[14:20] <BluesKaj> alanbananas, ok open a terminal and do , sudo modprobe snd-hda-intel , then reboot
[14:20] <alanbananas> Okay
[14:20] <alanbananas> Wait
[14:20] <alanbananas> I have audio working now
[14:22] <Dr_Willis> Now Jam to your Kenny G. Collection! ;)
[14:22] <alanbananas> I have to have all "Master, Headphone, PCM, and Front" unmuted
[14:22] <ecips> Hello!
[14:22] <alanbananas> BluesKaj: Okay ive figured the problem
[14:22]  * ecips wonders why ftp.au.ubuntu.org resolves to an IP address in Spain??
[14:22] <Dr_Willis> Master would be ALL the audio channels I think.  if it was muted then everything would be mute.. PCM is the normal Audio out ibelive.
[14:22] <ecips> Can anyone enlighten me?
[14:23] <Dr_Willis> ecips:  its on vacation? ;) No idea really how are you determining its ip/location?
[14:23] <alanbananas> BluesKaj: The problem is "amixer set Master toggle" mutes Master, Headphone, PCM and Front, but if you do "amixer set Master toggle" as second time, it only unmutes Master
[14:24] <alanbananas> When it actually needs to Toggle all four of them

[14:26] <ecips> Wiz_KeeD: addgroup :)
[14:27] <Wiz_KeeD> add all the group by hand? is that all? :))
[14:27] <alanbananas> BluesKaj: Ahah found this https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pulseaudio/+bug/878986
[14:27] <seanwash> Hello, would someone be able to help me with my public key issue? I have created one, but when I use ssh-add -l it says there are no keys. I try adding it and w/o sudo and I get permission denied but when I use sudo it says that I can't connect to my agent.
[14:27] <llutz> Wiz_KeeD: sudo usermod -aG group,group,group newusername                 get the list of groups from "groups olduser"
[14:27] <Dr_Willis> be carefull with adding groups. ;) theres some command that people mess up that removes all the users groups by mistake ive seen.
[14:28] <Wiz_KeeD> :-s
[14:28] <Wiz_KeeD> me scared
[14:28] <llutz> well don't miss the -a
[14:28] <Dr_Willis> you sare adding a new user.. so even if you mess up.. you still have the old user...
[14:28] <Dr_Willis> thats sort of the point of adding a user. not using usermod directly on the existing user
[14:29] <Wiz_KeeD> yeah i see the caution in it
[14:29] <alanbananas> BluesKaj: Seems like this fix is the following: amixer -D pulse set Master 1+ toggle
[14:30] <alanbananas> BluesKaj: Thanks for your help debugging
[14:30] <ecips> pulseaudio has other bugs at present too - in Raring at least.
[14:31] <BluesKaj>  alanbananas np , glad you got ti working
[14:31] <BluesKaj> ecips, like ?
[14:31] <llutz> !raring
[14:31] <BluesKaj> ecips, I'm on raring , no audio trouble here
[14:32] <RyanC_> Have you tried rm -rf /boot ?  That should fix your issue by regenerating the kernel files.
[14:32] <ecips> pulseaudio doesnt start - it depends on pulseaudio-esound-compat:i386 - even on x64 platforms
[14:32] <ecips> so you need to install it manually
[14:32] <RyanC_> It seems that your kernel might be corrupt
[14:32] <RyanC_> try regenerating it
[14:33] <llutz> !ops | RyanC_  giving bad advices again
[14:33] <llutz> !danger
[14:33] <ecips> RyanC_: What you smoking boy?
[14:33] <Arney> When I try to new accounts and one old account, my session flashes back to the login screen. Nothing interesting in syslog, any ideas?
[14:33] <llutz> ecips: known troll, don't feed pls
[14:33] <Arney> /s/try to/try to login to
[14:34] <Dr_Willis> Arney:  even a newly made user has the issue> and the guest account as well?
[14:34] <ecips> Arney: ctrl-alt-f1 - Can you login on the console?
[14:35] <ecips> Arney: alt-F7 to get back to the GUI
[14:35] <Arney> Dr_Willis: Newly made users do have the issue, trying with the guest account now
[14:35] <Arney> ecips: yes I can
[14:35] <ecips> So console login works, GUI login doesnt?
[14:35] <Dr_Willis> Arney:  as a test, try a differnt desktop instead of unity. somting very basic like openbox.
[14:35] <Arney> Dr_willis: guest user has the same problem
[14:35] <Dr_Willis> he is logging in it seems and X is crashing back to the Login screen
[14:36] <Arney> Dr_Willis: I deleted all the desktops except gnome-failsafe :)
[14:36] <ecips> Look in ~/.xsession-errors perhaps?
[14:36] <Dr_Willis> another test. try stopping the lightdm service, and login at the console and see if you can use startx
[14:36] <Dr_Willis> Arney:  perhaps thats the issue then?
[14:36] <Arney> ecips: For which user?
[14:37] <Arney> Dr_Willis: how would I go about making the users use gnome-failsafe by default... eureka!
[14:37] <Arney> Xsession defaults perhaps.
[14:37] <uictamale> Upon further investigation, something is automatically making a symlink from ~/.xsession-errors to /dev/null - what would be doing this?
[14:37] <llxpad> bpython breaks in precise (when used in spanish, at least) but works if I backport it from raring. which would be the procedure to ask an official backport in precise?
[14:38] <Toph2> i have just installed Ubuntu 12.04 on a new machine,,, occasionally the machine hangs,, all panels disappear, including the unity sidebar.

[14:40] <Walex2> Toph2: poorly worded question in «Anyone experience this before?»
[14:41] <andrea_> how can i get rid of the amazon icon on the unity bar on 12.10 ?  It doesn't let me press "rigt-click  exit"
[14:41] <Toph2> Walex2,,, ok,,, i was wondering about that,,, rather,'Anyone know a solution to the problem?'
[14:41] <Walex2> Toph2: anyhow check the logs in '/var/log/' for relevant messages
[14:41] <Walex2> Toph2: «Anyone know a solution to  the problem
[14:41] <Toph2> Walex2,,, thanks,, i will check
[14:42] <Walex2> Toph2: «Anyone know a solution to  the problem» would require psychic scan of everybody on Earth :-)
[14:42] <Walex2> Toph2: the right question might be "What can I do to investigate?"
[14:42] <Toph2> Walex2,,, which log file would be the most helpful?
[14:43] <Walex2> Toph2: usually 'ls -ltr /var/log/' will tell you the latest modified log files, so you can figure out which ones are likelty to contain new entries related to your problem.
[14:44] <maka> register password
[14:44] <Walex2> Toph2: anyhow check towards the end of '/var/log/Xorg.0.log' and 'kern.log', 'messages'
[14:45] <Walex2> Toph2: BTW, is your home directory on an NFS mount?
[14:45] <big_cocks> hi
[14:46] <big_cocks> go f uck your mother
[14:46] <big_cocks> ok
[14:47] <lucido> my network manager keeps asking me for the password if I'm farther from the ap than 2 or 3 meters
[14:47] <ecips> Heh
[14:47] <ecips> where do they all come from?
[14:47] <ecips> lucido: Sounds like you need a better antenna
[14:48] <lucido> ecips, better antenna?
[14:48] <lucido> I don't think that it's a hardware problem
[14:48] <gabi_sublime> hi men!  can tell me someboy how can i open the folder "etc" by xwindow?
[14:48] <lucido> the signal strength is fine
[14:48] <ecips> lucido: I presume AP == Access Point?
[14:48] <lucido> yes
[14:49] <Toph2> Walex2,,, no NSF mount
[14:49] <lucido> any antenna should do within 10 meters
[14:49] <ecips> lucido: Have you tried rebooting the AP? Is this a new problem, or has it always been there?
[14:50] <gabi_sublime> hi men!  can tell me someboy how can i open the folder "etc" by xwindow?
[14:50] <lucido> ecips, the ap is fine problem is with my laptop
[14:50] <hitesa> hi
[14:50] <hitesa> anyone here ?
[14:50] <hitesa> got a question
[14:51] <VIVID> no
[14:51] <grzywacz> sorry, this channel is empty
[14:51] <dweez> Just ask the question
[14:51] <VIVID> ask about asking first
[14:52] <hitesa> If I change a ip of a dns server like ns1.doool.com -> old ip to new ip will it affect the domains associated with that nameserver?
[14:52] <ecips> lucido: Humour me - reboot the AP :)
[14:52] <hitesa> will also modify the ip on the domain nameservers
[14:53] <hitesa> on associated domains ?
[14:53] <ecips> hitesa: The domains should be delegated to the host name of the DNS server
[14:53] <ecips> and if the host name is not in the same domain there should not be any glue records.
[14:53] <hitesa> so domains arent delegated by ip ?
[14:53] <hitesa> so domains name servers arent delegated by ip ?
[14:54] <ecips> is doool.com the domain name in question?
[14:54] <ecips> hitesa: Not unless the name server is on the same domain.
[14:54] <ecips> In that case there are a couple of extra records - called glue records
[14:54] <ecips> so if ns1.foo.com is authoritative for foo.com then there will be glue records.
[14:55] <ecips> but if ns1.bah.com is auth. for foo.com then there will not - in most circumstances :)
[14:55] <lucido> ecips, I did
[14:55] <ecips> I have seen errors in DNS zones before.
[14:55] <ecips> lucido: What make/model of AP?
[14:56] <hitesa> so the best if I change ip of nameservers is also to change nameservers of the domains ?
[14:56] <lucido> ecips, dlink dir-615
[14:56] <ecips> hitesa: No, you just need to make sure that if your zone has glue records those are also updated.
[14:56] <lucido> ecips, Network controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR9285 Wireless Network Adapter (PCI-Express) (rev 01)
[14:57] <ecips> hitesa: I have many domains delegated to a single domain - I can change the IP of the single domain and all the others will still work.
[14:58] <ecips> but - in the case of .com and .net domains particularly, you also need to have the IP's of your NS's registered and make sure the glue records are changed
[14:58] <ecips> otherwise the whole lot will fall off the internet
[14:59] <ecips> lucido: Anything in your log files?
[14:59] <ecips> in the logs on the AP?
[15:00] <lucido> ecips, http://pastebin.com/fjhBWF66
[15:01] <lucido> ecips, what happens is that I can connect if I'm right next to the ap but when I move away a biut then it keeps asling for the password
[15:01] <ecips> lucido: I'll probably get in trouble for this, but I really dont  like NetworkManager much :)
[15:01] <ecips> it's always been a pain in the ass
[15:01] <lucido> ecips, it works good when it does
[15:02] <ecips> I just configure my nic's myself in /etc/network/interfaces
[15:02] <JBzh> Hi. I desactivated "sticky edge" but still windows stick to the top of the screnn when moving it. I don't find clues on how to desactivate this effect, can someone give me a hint ?
[15:03] <bazhang> JBzh, in compizconfig-settings-manager , I would imagine. check there
[15:03] <JBzh> bazhang: I'll check there, thank you
[15:03] <Night-hacks> there is no /proc/config.gz ? how can i enable it ?
[15:04] <bazhang> Night-hacks, to do what
[15:04] <Night-hacks> bazhang: i want to see my kernel configs
[15:04] <Night-hacks> bazhang: and change them
[15:05] <bazhang> Night-hacks, change how exactly. Please be very clear
[15:05] <Night-hacks> bazhang: for enabling loop devices
[15:10]  * Dr_Willis turns on his mindreading ability...
[15:10] <ericus> Hey guys. Is it impossible to get a transparent indicator-applet on the top panel using Ubuntu 12.04 w. Gnome Classic (Gnome 3)?
[15:10] <dagerik> hey. i need to check the source code for something. which one of these files is the one being compiled into binary on my system. http://ftp.belnet.be/ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/b/bsd-finger/
[15:10] <Dr_Willis> You wish to see the kernel config file and recompile the kernel to enable  the loopback devices?
[15:10] <ericus> I can't find any solution
[15:10] <dagerik> i need the 64 bit version
[15:11] <Dr_Willis> the apt commands have a feature to download the source packages from a repo. ive not used that in ages however.
[15:11] <Dr_Willis> !source
[15:13] <vitimiti> (·_·)/
[15:13] <minimec> Night-hacks: For video probably this package will do. 'v4l2loopback-dkms'. For audio, you can do this with pulseaudio. Maybe you have to install 'pacucontrol' and 'paman'. see here: http://thelinuxexperiment.com/guinea-pigs/jon-f/pulseaudio-monitoring-your-line-in-interface/
[15:14] <riqdiiz> hi vitimiti
[15:14] <Night-hacks> minimec: i want to set CONFIG_IKCONFIG=y ,CONFIG_IKCONFIG_PROC=y, of my Kernel
[15:15] <media-centre> hey how can i configure the music libary to my music folder
[15:16] <riqdiiz> how do i perform a frugal install for slitaz
[15:16] <bazhang> riqdiiz, ask slitaz support
[15:17] <bazhang> riqdiiz, this is UBUNTU support
[15:17] <bazhang> !alis | riqdiiz have a search for their channel
[15:17] <MonkeyDust> riqdiiz  type /join #slitaz
[15:18] <Guest1319> hola
[15:19] <riqdiiz> Thanks i'm in.
[15:19] <Guest1319> hola
[15:19] <Guest1319> como se maneja esto
[15:19] <MonkeyDust> !es
[15:20] <media-centre> right so can anyone help
[15:21] <bazhang> media-centre, which player
[15:21] <media-centre> no its the dash hoime button on the side
[15:21] <media-centre> where theirs a music tab i want to configure that to my music folder
[15:22] <hemangpatel> After dual boot installation, Does it overwrite MBR ?
[15:23] <darkbasic> what about kernel.ubuntu.com? why is it down?
[15:25] <MonkeyDust> darkbasic  it doesnt say
[15:25] <BEPC> wazzabi
[15:28] <auronandace> hemangpatel: grub? yes, thats the default. windows? yes.
[15:29] <hemangpatel> auronandace : ubuntu ?
[15:29] <mnaser> nfs4 + ubuntu, idmapd is running on both client and server, if i create a file, it's created under nobody/nogroup even if i'm creating it under root (which is obviously uid 0 on both systems).
[15:29] <media-centre> so does anyone know
[15:29] <mnaser> i've sorta ran out of ideas now
[15:29] <media-centre> i mean it must be configurable
[15:29] <auronandace> hemangpatel: ubuntu uses grub
[15:30] <media-centre> so no one knows
[15:31] <hemangpatel> I have already installed windows.. I want dual boot (like selection on startup). So after installing ubuntu, does i get selection like ubuntu & windows ?
[15:31] <auronandace> hemangpatel: yes, grub does that
[15:32] <hemangpatel> means i get selection ? am i right ?
[15:32] <auronandace> hemangpatel: yes
[15:32] <media-centre> yea man
[15:32] <media-centre> its usually at the end that you can install a booloader
[15:32] <hemangpatel> thanks god & you.
[15:33] <hemangpatel> what is LTS edition means ?
[15:33] <media-centre> long term service
[15:33] <hemangpatel> If i install not LTS then ?
[15:34] <media-centre> well it means you get long term support for that particular linux
[15:34] <Vykk> hemangpatel, stands for Long Term Support, it means they will continue supporting and patching that version
[15:34] <auronandace> hemangpatel: lts = long term support, non-lts releases are supported for 18 months from release
[15:35] <hemangpatel> after that. Do i need to uninstall ?
[15:35] <auronandace> hemangpatel: no, it just means you get no updates
[15:35] <auronandace> hemangpatel: it is best to either stick to the latest or stick to lts
[15:36] <hemangpatel> ok. During installation which partition is necessary ? means there are many swap,/home,/
[15:36] <v0lksman> I'm having a very hard time getting the latest igb module to stay active after a reboot in 12.04 LTS server.  Any good docs anyone knows of to help?
[15:37] <ericus> Hey guys. Is it impossible to get a transparent indicator-applet on the top panel using Ubuntu 12.04 w. Gnome Classic (Gnome 3)?
[15:37] <auronandace> hemangpatel: only / is absolutely necessary, swap is usually recommended
[15:38] <hemangpatel> auronandace : / is for ?
[15:38] <auronandace> hemangpatel: thats the root of the filesystem, everything goes under /
[15:39] <Walex2> hemangpatel: as <auronandace> was saying only the "root" filetree is strictly necessary.
[15:39] <Vykk> hemangpatel, / is the Root directory, it's the equivalent of c:\ on windows
[15:39] <Walex2> hemangpatel: but it is usually very convenient to have a second one for "/home", so system and user files are separate, and it is easier to reinstall the system without risking damage to user files.
[15:39] <ecips> argh! - nvidia module not compiling properly in raring
[15:40] <khaki> could soemone help me with apparmor, i need to move the directory that mysql.sock is in
[15:40] <auronandace> !13.04 | ecips
[15:40] <hemangpatel> thanks to all.. I'm ready for ubuntu 12.10 using USB :)
[15:40] <khaki> i cant seem to get mysql to start at all and its throwing lots of stuff in syslog
[15:41] <Walex2> khaki: edit the relevant file under '/etc/apparmor.d/'
[15:41] <Walex2> khaki: and restart the 'apparmor' service.
[15:41] <khaki> Walex2: yea but what do i need to add to it, thats what i cant find
[15:41] <Walex2> khaki: I think that is described in some Wiki page or another
[15:41] <hemangpatel> How can i start internet using phone modem in linux ?
[15:41] <khaki> even with apparmor stopped im getting these error
[15:41] <khaki> init: mysql main process (26008) terminated with status 1
[15:42] <khaki> id like to not even use apparmor
[15:42] <auronandace> hemangpatel: a dialup modem?
[15:42] <Walex2> khaki: AppArmor is pretty good and simple, better to keep it.
[15:42] <Walex2> khaki: 'grep mysql /etc/apparmor.d/*' might help :-
[15:43] <khaki> its apparentlynot THAT simple
[15:43] <Walex2> khaki: as to 'init: mysql main process (26008) terminated with status 1
[15:43] <Walex2> khaki: check the system logs, and the mysql logs
[15:44] <auronandace> !modem | hemangpatel
[15:44] <khaki> Walex2: there is no mysql logs (yet) this is a brand new install
[15:45] <Walex2> khaki: I alos did a Web search like https://www.google.com/search?q=ubuntu+apparmor+mysql and that has quite a few entries
[15:45] <ecips> (23:44:16) ecips left the room (quit: Ping timeout: 240 seconds).  <--- Now thats strange - you dont usually see yourself timeout? :)
[15:46] <hemangpatel> auronandace : thanks.
[15:46] <hemangpatel> bookmarked
[15:46] <khaki> Walex2: yea and i cant find anything that has to do with what im specifically asking
[15:47] <Walex2> khaki: I think that the 'grep' I gave you earlier shows you where to change the directory...
[15:48] <khaki> the file i know which one it is,
[15:48] <khaki> but how to edit it/what to add.. zilch
[15:48] <khaki> the usr.sbin.mysql file is basically empty
[15:48] <psychopathic>   /j #physics
[15:49] <Walex2> khaki: that's bad news, because here on 12.04 I get http://paste.debian.net/212471/
[15:49] <khaki> Walex2: i also dont even see it loading the mysql profile when i restart apparmor
[15:50] <Walex2> khaki: note also that the file name is not "usr.sbin.mysql"
[15:50] <khaki> Walex2:
[15:50] <khaki> root@60669:/etc# grep /var/run/mysqld /etc/apparmor.d/*
[15:50] <khaki> root@60669:/etc#
[15:50] <Walex2> khaki: you have a damaged installation.
[15:50] <khaki> how can i get apparmor back to 100% default?
[15:51] <johnjacobjingerh> is there a package for hemachi in ubuntu?
[15:51] <johnjacobjingerh> hamachi*
[15:51] <auronandace> !find hamachi | johnjacobjingerh
[15:51] <Walex2> khaki: each package add their own AppArmor profile, e.g.: mysql-server-5.5: /etc/apparmor.d/usr.sbin.mysqld
[15:52] <Walex2> khaki: you might want to reinstall 'mysql-server' or perhaps just to extract that file from it and put it back.
[15:52] <khaki> Walex2: when i restart apparmor, here is what i get in syslog
[15:52] <khaki> http://paste.debian.net/212472/
[15:53] <Walex2> khaki: that seems fine, if that is all the dæmons that you have installed.
[15:56] <Walex2> khaki: to double check that you are not missing other files wiht: debsums -sa mysql-server-5.5
[15:58] <khaki> sec..
[15:58] <andrea_> how do i remove the "amazon" icon on the unity menu on 12.10 ?
[15:58] <khaki> debsums: changed file /etc/apparmor.d/usr.sbin.mysqld (from mysql-server-5.5 package)
[15:58] <khaki> ok now how do i get apparmor to LOAD that
[15:59] <raven> xubuntu 12.10 not maximized windows hide behind panels, any ideas? http://picpaste.com/b580abeeea2bff2142dc3619eef7dedd.jpg
[16:00] <ecips> andrea_: apt-get remove unity-shopping-lens
[16:00] <ecips> andrea_: log off, log onm
[16:01] <andrea_> ecips: ok i'll try
[16:02] <Walex2> khaki: to reload it once you restored it restart the AppArmor service.
[16:03] <Evil_Eric> ok guys im on a fresh install of ubuntu 12.04LTS and when my problems arise i will be comming here to get them fixed
[16:03] <Dr_Willis> of course he may have been asking how to just remove the icon from the left hand side. ;)
[16:03] <ecips> Dr_Willis: I made the assumption he had a right-hand mouse button :)
[16:04] <cerps> can any one tell me how to configure pidgin on local server.
[16:04] <ecips> probably foolish of me :)
[16:04] <khaki> Walex2: it doesnt report in syslog that its actually loading that mysqld file
[16:04] <andrea_> ecips: guess didn't work :(
[16:04] <ecips> ok
[16:04] <ecips> right click the icon
[16:04] <ecips> and unlock it
[16:04] <ecips> Dr_Willis: You win :)
[16:05] <cerps> can any one tell me how to configure pidgin on local server
[16:05] <cerps> ?
[16:05] <cerps> ?
[16:05] <cerps> ?
[16:05] <FloodBot1> cerps: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[16:05] <andrea_> ecips: yes but i guess i must uninstall the thing
[16:05] <mz|`> TAGGLE !
[16:05] <Dr_Willis> cerps:  clarify what you mean
[16:05] <Dr_Willis> instead of flooding
[16:05] <ecips> cerps is gone :)
[16:05] <ecips> Oh, its back :)
[16:06] <mz|`> cerps: use your brain and the according documentation, stop flooding, be well.
[16:06] <khaki> Walex2: and i added this line "/opt/devel//var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock w," and used "apparmor_parser -r /etc/apparmor.d/usr.sbin.mysqld" and it threw an error
[16:06] <cerps> Dr Willis> i would like to install pidgin on all my local network...
[16:06] <khaki> Walex2: "AppArmor parser error for /etc/apparmor.d/usr.sbin.mysqld in /etc/apparmor.d/usr.sbin.mysqld at line 4: syntax error, unexpected TOK_MODE, expecting TOK_OPEN
[16:06] <ecips> cerps: You want a local IRC server?
[16:06] <cerps> yaa
[16:07] <andrea_> ecips: ok, even tought with  dpkg -l | grep amazon i didn't find anything, i could uninstall it with ubuntu software center
[16:07] <andrea_> who knows
[16:07] <cerps> ecips: yes.. a local irc
[16:07] <khaki> and my usr.sbin.mysqld file was empty, even after debsums
[16:07] <Dr_Willis> cerps:  it pays to be clear...
[16:07] <mz|`> apt-get install ircd ?
[16:07] <ecips> apt-get install dancer ?
[16:07] <ecips> :)
[16:07] <mz|`> :)
[16:07] <Dr_Willis> cerps:  install an irc server and conigure it.. connect to it
[16:07] <ecips> apt-cache search ircd
[16:07] <ecips> numerous options
[16:07] <Dr_Willis> for a local lan. it may be best to use the most simplke irc server you can find. ;)
[16:11] <ecips> heh - as I suspected, theres even an ircd in perl
[16:11] <ecips> and a python one for the non-believers :)
[16:12] <Dr_Willis> i recall seeing minimal perl irc servers and clienjts ;)
[16:12] <Dr_Willis> i recall seeing them in ruby also
[16:12] <ecips> sirc :)
[16:13] <khaki> i got this thing a mess
[16:13] <ecips> awesome - think of how much you will learn fixing it :)
[16:14] <fission6> can i system use upstart and system v init
[16:15] <ecips> fission6: I'm afraid I dont understand you. Can you try and be a bit more descriptive?
[16:15] <Dr_Willis> fission6:  Upstart has features to be very backwards compatiable with SysV
[16:15] <ecips> Ubuntu uses both, side-by-side
[16:16] <fission6> ok, i keep getting the following issue and i dont know why http://dpaste.org/NuSvR/
[16:21] <khaki> i think i finally got it Walex2 .  thanks for help
[16:21] <khaki> i copied the usr.sbin.myqld file from another server, made my changes and presto it worked
[16:22] <marcappuccino> Is it possible to chroot into a persistent ubuntu USB drive, while on my regular install, and execute commands like apt-get upgrade etc?
[16:24] <c0dr> i have a question regarding integrating netgear wg111v3 on 64-bit ubuntu in a virtualbox. I have been told to just give up, but thats not an option. And ive made it work before. Do i need to open another virtual network connection, because all im working with now is eth0 and lo.. Last time i had mon0 running on wlan0 but id have trouble crossing over from my nat (eth0) -- so attempting to fix here
[16:25] <c0dr> brb with lsusb and ifconfig pastes ...
[16:25] <root____2> hi
[16:27] <c0dr> ifconfig/lsusb from previous posting: http://pastebin.com/aizz16Zv
[16:29] <Dr_Willis> marcappuccino:  it may need more then just chrooting. since the persstnat save file will need to be mounted somehow
[16:30] <dilligaf42> Greetings
[16:31] <Dr_Willis> Happy Cyber Monday. ;)
[16:31] <dilligaf42> You too
[16:33] <dilligaf42> I've got an interesting problem.  It's a keyboard issue...yesterday the N and 5 keys stopped working on one of my Ubuntu machines
[16:33] <dilligaf42> The simple solution would be replace the keyboard, which I did
[16:33] <dilligaf42> 3 keyboards, all of them have no N or 5
[16:34] <usr13> dilligaf42: How are you typing N and 5 now?  Copy and paste?
[16:34] <dilligaf42> Different computer
[16:34] <usr13> dilligaf42: Is it only the uppercase of n?
[16:34] <usr13> digadvan: Or, can you neither type N nor n ?
[16:34] <dilligaf42> no, it's the whole n key...
[16:35] <dilligaf42> No n or N, and no 5 or %
[16:35] <simion314> hi all, i connected a TV with a HDMi cable to my ubuntu PC, I now have the desktop cloned on the second monitor too, I want to extend my desktop how is the way to do it? is aticonfig a good idea?
[16:35] <usr13> ok... that IS interesting....  Not sure what it could be but...
[16:35] <marcappuccino> Dr_Willis: do you know How may I acheive this then, if there is a way?
[16:35] <simion314> mumy card is an AMD and i use the binary driver from repos
[16:36] <dilligaf42> I did try resetting keyboard options back to defaults, but no good.  I've run a PS2 keyboard and 2 different USB Keyboards and none of them give me n or 5
[16:36] <ecips> keymap?
[16:37] <marcappuccino> dilligaf42: maybe an ibus problem?
[16:37] <elijah> Is there an binary I can run to tell me how much each usb port is capable of outputting?
[16:38] <usr13> digadvan: Have you tried LiveCD?
[16:38] <dilligaf42> marcappuccino ibus?  how would I go about testing that?
[16:39] <SkippersBoss> simion314, look into xrandr to assist you.
[16:39] <usr13> dilligaf42: 12.04?
[16:39] <Dr_Willis> dilligaf42:  do they work on the console?
[16:39] <dilligaf42> Yes, 12.04
[16:39] <marcappuccino> sorry i disconnected
[16:39] <marcappuccino> Dash > ibus
[16:40] <usr13> dilligaf42: Can you answer Dr_Willis' question?
[16:40] <simion314> SkippersBoss: I tried srandr but it says that I give it a larger resolution then the maximum size but this is false I give one less, and also it lists the HDMi as DFP1, any hints?
[16:40] <usr13> dilligaf42: Ctrl-Alt-F6  (Try it there.)
[16:41] <usr13> dilligaf42: Ctrl-Alt and hit F6  (Try it there.)
[16:41] <marcappuccino> ok goodbye everyone
[16:41] <researcher123> why https://www.facebook.com/ takes infinite in Moziall firefox while all other sites open instantly?
[16:41] <SkippersBoss> i am not a specialist but i have heard of this error before. google the specific error.
[16:42] <SkippersBoss> you probably will find the cause
[16:42] <dilligaf42> Dr. Willis, let me check, I just noticed they dont' work in one program
[16:42] <usr13> researcher123: Lots of stuff to load from facebook
[16:42] <researcher123> SkippersBoss: ok.thanks
[16:42] <simion314> here is my srandr error/strange output http://pastebin.com/EV8jiUSK
[16:42] <usr13> dilligaf42: "they dont' work in one program"?
[16:43] <usr13> dilligaf42: Do you need to re-state the issue?
 disregard.  The keys work fine in everything else...I was so focused on what I was trying to get done, that I assumed the problem was with the OS or Keyboard...the problem is just related to the virutal machine I'm trying to run
[16:44] <Dr_Willis> ;)
[16:44] <Dr_Willis> Ok. slight support issue. getting this error...
[16:45] <Dr_Willis> W: Failed to fetch gzip:/var/lib/apt/lists/partial/us.archive.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_quantal_main_source_Sources  Hash Sum mismatch
[16:45] <Dr_Willis> from an apt-get update
[16:45] <SkippersBoss> simion314,   and what is the outcome of xrandr -q
[16:45] <dilligaf42> Thanks guys
[16:45] <Dr_Willis> is that a server side issue?
[16:46] <dilligaf42> Lemme try apt-get update and see (now that I can type)
[16:47] <simion314> SkippersBoss:  http://pastebin.com/4asshqAx the xrandr output , thx for your timje
[16:47] <livingdaylight> greetings
[16:47] <Rosbuntu> i need a coder who can help me my wimax dongle work in kubuntu
[16:47] <livingdaylight> question: insert usb and it comes up, but when i launch gparted although it sees it it cannot access so as to delete and format the usb as I'd like. If I eject the usb then gparted doesnt' see it. Its a Catch-22 right now. Any advice?
[16:48] <usr13> livingdaylight: un-mount it before starting gparted.
[16:48] <usr13> livingdaylight: gparted does not want to work on a mounted device.
[16:49] <livingdaylight> usr13, I tried sudo umount /dev/sdb can't remember the result, but it didn't help
[16:49] <dilligaf42> Dr_Willis, I was able to apt-get update from 2 different machines without a problem
[16:49] <usr13> livingdaylight: remember the result.
[16:49] <Dr_Willis> dilligaf42:  its just that us.XXXX one that seems to be causing the issue here.
[16:49] <JoeyJoeJo> I have 3 openvpn client connections on one server. Can I restart just one of them? Doing `service openvpn restart` restarts all of them
[16:49] <usr13> livingdaylight: Did it say that it was busy?
[16:49] <JoeyJoeJo> I'm on Ubuntu 12.04
[16:49] <Dr_Willis> dilligaf42:  i removed the us. part in sources.list and its working now
[16:49] <livingdaylight> usr13, it results in sdb being unmounted and gparted not seeing it
[16:49] <Rosbuntu> can someone help me
[16:49] <dilligaf42> Ah, there ya go
[16:49] <Dr_Willis> livingdaylight:  theres unmount, then theres 'safely removeing'
[16:50] <usr13> livingdaylight: sudo fdisk -l |pastebinit
[16:50] <Dr_Willis> livingdaylight:  use the shell and the umount command may be a better way to do it.
[16:51] <usr13> livingdaylight: As Dr_Willis points out, it is more than likely that you are not getting the device un-mounted.
[16:51] <livingdaylight> Dr_Willis, saferly removing it or ejects certainly results in gparted not seeing it at all. However, I did try sudo umount /dev/sdb which seemed to have the same result as 'ejecting' 'safely removing it'
[16:51] <livingdaylight> usr13, ok, 1 moment while I do that
[16:52] <usr13> livingdaylight: You have to umount a partition, (not a device).  So, unless /dev/sdb has no partitions, umount /dev/sdb will not do anything.
[16:52] <Dr_Willis> livingdaylight:  i recall there being 2 differnt menu items once. unmount, then eject. one would disable/disconnect the device in such a way gparted wouldent see it. You woul dhave to unplyug/plug it back in.
[16:52] <Dr_Willis> but i havent messed with it in ages.
[16:52] <usr13> livingdaylight: Probably what you are looking for is;   sudo umount /dev/sdb1
[16:52] <ecips> Dr_Willis: You're correct, in so much as "eject" disables completely
[16:52] <livingdaylight> usr13, fdisk -l output: http://pastebin.com/CXTUiPnG
[16:53] <c0dr> im trying to integrate an rtl8187 (wg111v3) chip into an ubuntu virtualbox.. ive been successful once before but this time I keep failing. My virtualbox recognizes the device, but my config does not... heres paste of ifconfig and lsusb, any suggestions?:http://pastebin.com/aizz16Zv
[16:53] <fission6> what does init: uwsgi pre-start process (27719) terminated with status 2 mean? specially status 2?
[16:53] <livingdaylight> usr13, aha, well, it is notpartitioned as I previously used 'dd' to mount a bootable iso
[16:53] <ecips> livingdaylight: USB sticks often dont have a partition table
[16:53] <ecips> nothing to stop you making one though
[16:53] <simion314> SkippersBoss: is safe to use Catalyst Center and use xinerama? I mean if i break Xorg how could I restore it?
[16:53] <usr13> livingdaylight: Is it 8G?
[16:53] <livingdaylight> ecips, yea, that's what I@m trying to do
[16:54] <Dr_Willis> livingdaylight:  ahh.. ive had to use dd to 'zero' out flash drives after ive dd'ed isos to them.. to allow gparted to repartuoin them
[16:54] <ecips> livingdaylight: cfdisk might do better :)
[16:55] <livingdaylight> ecips, ok, lets see. Not familiar with cfdisk
[16:55] <usr13> livingdaylight: As ecips points out, fdisk or cfdisk might do the job for you.
[16:55] <livingdaylight> usr13, how?
[16:55] <usr13> livingdaylight: open terminal, type  cfdisk  hit enter.
[16:55] <ecips> cfdisk /dev/blah
[16:55] <usr13> livingdaylight: open terminal, type  cfdisk /dev/sdc hit enter.
[16:56] <livingdaylight> usr13, i already did cfdisk and got  FATAL ERROR: Cannot open disk drive                                                                                Press any key to exit cfdisk
[16:56] <livingdaylight> usr13, tried cfdisk /dev/sdc and got same error message
[16:56] <researcher123> where can I find Hosts file/folder?
[16:56] <ecips> ok - dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdc bs=1024 count=1
[16:56] <usr13> livingdaylight: As Dr_Willis points out, you may have to write zeros to it first....
[16:57] <ecips> livingdaylight: THIS WILL WIPE THE DISK
[16:57] <livingdaylight> ecips, cool, that's the idea
[16:57] <livingdaylight> ecips, trying to put another bootable iso on it
[16:57] <livingdaylight> don't see why gparted can't see, delete and format it for me though?
[16:57] <usr13> livingdaylight: You only need gparted if you need to repartition in a non-destructive manor.
[16:58] <ecips> dodgy stuff where it expects to find the part. tbl
[16:58] <researcher123> I want t search a folder named Hosts. How do I give command?
[16:58] <usr13> livingdaylight: fdisk would more-than-likely do it for you.
[16:58] <ecips> researcher123: locate Hosts
[16:58] <ecips> assuming you have locate installed :)
[16:58] <usr13> livingdaylight: fdisk /dev/sdc
[16:58] <usr13> livingdaylight: sudo fdisk /dev/sdc
[16:59] <ecips> if not - apt-get install locate&&updatedb&&locate Hosts
[16:59] <philinux> ecips: locate is a default installed app
[16:59] <ecips> philinux: even with a base install?
[17:00] <livingdaylight> usr13, sudo fdisk /dev/sdc output : http://pastebin.com/C6UVshiM
[17:00] <ecips> researcher123: remember too - Hosts <> hosts
[17:00] <philinux> ecips: normal vanilla install yes
[17:00] <researcher123> ecips: thanks
[17:00] <ecips> livingdaylight: Thats what you want :)
[17:00] <usr13> livingdaylight: See, it works.
[17:00] <ecips> now partiton it and write
[17:00] <usr13> livingdaylight: p
[17:00] <usr13> livingdaylight: m
[17:01] <livingdaylight> usr13, what do I do now, please? sorrY
[17:01] <usr13> livingdaylight: n  for new partition.  t for type (l to list types)  etc....
[17:01] <usr13> livingdaylight: type   n    hit enter.
[17:02] <usr13> livingdaylight: type   p    hit enter, (to see what you have so far.)
[17:02] <jpwhiting> hey all, I'm creating a plymouth theme, and it's all packaged and such, but when it runs update-initramfs -u in the postinst script the plymouth hook is never called
[17:02] <livingdaylight> usr13, in gparted used to format it to fat32
[17:02] <jpwhiting> I see on my other ubuntu machine when I run update-initramfs -uv the plymouth hook gets called
[17:02] <researcher123> where is the file host <IP_ADDRESS> stored.How do I find it?
[17:02] <usr13> livingdaylight: Good, lable it as fat32 here.  Afterwards you can format it.
[17:02] <jpwhiting> is there some list of which hooks update-initramfs -u calls?
[17:03] <livingdaylight> sorry, how, usr13
[17:03] <ecips> researcher123: /etc/hosts
[17:03] <ecips> ?
[17:03] <researcher123> ecips: ok
[17:03] <livingdaylight> usr13, 'p' output: http://pastebin.com/NkHgfnUb
[17:04] <usr13> livingdaylight:  It is showing you that you have no partitions yet.
[17:04] <usr13> livingdaylight: n  for new.
[17:05] <hazamonzo_> Hey folks. I want to use secpanel (ssh, SCP gui) to manage my connections. In particular, i want to be able to create scp connections with the i- argument to pass over my .pem file. aaaanyway, i have the ssh connection working fine. I can't figure out the scp one though and there is very little on google. Any pointers ? :)
[17:05] <usr13> livingdaylight: Type  n   hit enter.  (If you only want one partition, just make one, hit enter, accept defaults....
[17:06] <usr13> livingdaylight: Then type t  to change partition type.
[17:06] <livingdaylight> usr13, 51 is for FAT32 it seems?
[17:07] <usr13> livingdaylight: c
[17:07] <usr13> livingdaylight: c   is for fat32
[17:07] <Dr_Willis> so many little variatnions of fat/vfat/fat32 ;)
[17:07] <fission6> what does this mean terminated with status 2
[17:07] <Dr_Willis> 'c' is the type i see normally used
[17:08] <livingdaylight> its gone already, what is 'c' ?
[17:08] <usr13> livingdaylight: c   is for fat32
[17:08] <Dr_Willis> t - type of partion. and its the designation for fat32
[17:08] <Dr_Willis> ;)
[17:08] <usr13> livingdaylight: You can do it again if you messed up.
[17:09] <usr13> livingdaylight: m    for list of options.
[17:09] <livingdaylight> usr13, looks like I might, have. will try again
[17:10] <usr13> livingdaylight: When you see that you have it like you want it, ( p  to print what you have on screen), the last step will be w  (to write new parition table).
[17:11] <usr13> livingdaylight: If you are using fdisk and think you have made a big mistake, don't hit   w    hit   q  (q  to quit without writing new partition table).
[17:12] <livingdaylight> usr13, i already wrote the partition. Now when I re-enter fdisk /dev/sdc and enter n it shows me the partitions rather than give option to start all over
[17:12] <ecips> dd again
[17:12] <usr13> (That's if you have realized that you're accessing wrong device and ton't want to loose data.)
[17:12] <livingdaylight> usr13, can I not unmount somehow so that gparted can do it easily for me? (instead)
[17:13] <AlexWaters1> i'm trying to get a file from one server to another. can I use scp with an ssh keypair? How could I do that? I tried scp ssh://user@host.com:/path/to/file.txt file.txt - but it just hangs
[17:13] <usr13> livingdaylight: n  is for new  (as in create new partition).
[17:13] <usr13> livingdaylight: have you made a partition?
[17:14] <usr13> livingdaylight: Have you made a partition and you only need to change the label? If so, sudo fdisk /dev/sdc   Hit t  and then c  and then w
[17:15] <livingdaylight> usr13, I'm staring at this: First sector (2048-15874047, default 2048):
[17:15] <usr13> livingdaylight: Yes, just hit enter.
[17:15] <bblz> hey. I have insanely sensitive hearing, and my CPU fan is blasting on full power all the time when I'm running Ubuntu (12.10). Does anyone have simple instructions on how to regulate fan speed according to temperature?
[17:16] <ecips> bblz: start with bios settings

[17:16] <bblz> ecips: got an Asus board with an AMD processor. Do you mean the C1E/Cool'n'Quiet settings?
[17:16] <usr13> livingdaylight: just hit enter.
[17:17] <livingdaylight> usr13, ok, now back to Command (m for help):
[17:18] <usr13> livingdaylight: Something's wrong though because first sector is 2048.  I don't know why that is.
[17:18] <usr13> livingdaylight: p
[17:18] <livingdaylight> usr13, :s
[17:18] <usr13> livingdaylight: You probably want to change partition type, (if it's not fat32).
[17:19] <usr13> livingdaylight: type p  (to Print on the screen what you have so far).
[17:20] <livingdaylight> usr13, just checked with gparted it says it requires sdc to have a partition. Presumably, it still doesnt' have one
[17:21] <livingdaylight> usr13, http://clip2net.com/s/2xK7w
[17:21] <livingdaylight> usr13, why can't I unmount it with sudo umount /dev/sdc and let gparted to its business?
[17:21] <livingdaylight> it (gparted) sees it but can't format it
[17:22] <ecips> mkdosfs
[17:22] <usr13> livingdaylight: You have yet to create any partitions.  I would have zeroed out the whole drive before I started.  Not just the first 1024.
[17:23] <lickalott> hello all, carrying on a convo from last night: Have 3 drives mounted via UUID in fstab and shared out via samba.  (we'll call them drive1, drive2, and drive3)  From a windows box I can map to all three but can only copy stuff to drive 1 and drive2.  when I go to copy to drive 3 i get "destination folder not assessible".  I've scanned fstab and smb.conf for permission and they are all the same
[17:23] <lickalott> .  I have "default" set for options inside fstab.  Anyone have any suggestions?
[17:23] <usr13> dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdc
[17:23] <livingdaylight> usr13, ecips showed me to do this: sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdc bs=1024 count=1
[17:24] <livingdaylight> usr13, should I change bs= ?
[17:24] <usr13> livingdaylight: Yes, count=1  means that you only wrote zeros to the first 1024
[17:24] <usr13> livingdaylight: omit count=1
[17:24] <abdelhamied> bsdfgn
[17:24] <usr13> livingdaylight: you can also omit bs=1024
[17:24] <abdelhamied> vbn dv fgm
[17:24] <compdoc> lickalott, and the permissions on the folder the drive is mounted in?
[17:25] <lickalott> 777 (right now for troubleshooting purposes)
[17:25] <usr13> livingdaylight: You can do bs=4096
[17:25] <livingdaylight> usr13, I already hit ENTER
[17:25] <livingdaylight> what does bs=4096 do?
[17:25] <usr13> livingdaylight: After what command?
[17:25] <lickalott> to add a little....  I chmod -R 777 <folder> and got a screw off it's a "read only file system" error
[17:25] <livingdaylight> this is an 8gb hd
[17:26] <usr13> livingdaylight: I know.
[17:26] <livingdaylight> usr13, after sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdc
[17:26] <usr13> livingdaylight: Good.
[17:26] <livingdaylight> usr13, its still processing :p
[17:27] <usr13> livingdaylight: Yea, it will take a little bit becausee you did not do   bs=4096     or bs=2048    or  bs=1024   But it should be finished soon.  Right?
[17:28] <lickalott> compdoc, anything seem out of place to you?
[17:28] <mih1406> Hi, Does Ubuntu 12.04 localization files get update after the release date?
[17:29] <usr13> livingdaylight: bs=  just tells it how many bytes to do at a time.    If you specify bs=1024  it will finish at a certain time but if you do bs=2048 it will get done twice as fast, etc. etc.
[17:29] <compdoc> lickalott, cant say. you might pastebin.org your smb.conf file
[17:29] <lickalott> in work right now
[17:29] <usr13> livingdaylight: bs=4096 would proably only take a few seconds....
[17:30] <livingdaylight> usr13, it seems stuck
[17:30] <lickalott> compdoc - http://pastebin.com/8AEyh07e
[17:30] <usr13> livingdaylight: It's just taking a while. But you can start over if you want.
[17:30] <livingdaylight> usr13, i did it without bs and have not got the prompt back yet
[17:30] <wuffwuff> meow
[17:30] <lickalott> compdoc don't laugh at my share names.... ;p
[17:30] <livingdaylight> usr13, ok, lets just let it have another minute before interferring

[17:45] <lickalott> compdoc do the user passwords have to match?
[17:45] <lickalott> same user different passwords att
[17:45] <compdoc> lickalott, make sure you have a user and password with the same name as you log into windows with

[17:47] <pgib> Hello people. I'm having some trouble with 12.10 upgrade on my work computer (work fine on my personal laptop).  An overview of the error and my attempts so far are here:  http://pastie.org/5438276  Thanks!
[17:47] <lickalott> trying now.  thanks for your time man!
[17:48] <pgib> oops, "you have help broken packages" should be: "you have held broken packages"
[17:48] <sapharoth> away
[17:49] <sapharoth> quit
[17:49] <multu> why would ubuntu load busybox instead of my desktop on startup?
[17:49] <e\ectro> I'm currently running 12.10 and having an issue with nxserver and connecting remotely.  I'm using xfce4, but it doesn't display any text in the applications.  Its all just blank with buttons and no text.  Has anyone run into this problem?
[17:49] <LucidLuna> @pgib have you tried sudo apt-get remove update-manager && sudo apt-get install update-manager ?
[17:49] <pgib> multu, what desktop manager are you running? You may have to choose the environment you want
[17:49] <lickalott> compdoc, not seeing "valid users"
[17:49] <Rosbuntu>  it doesnt take passowd in password boxes after logging on in kubuntu.. only terminal takes password , why?
[17:49] <mih1406> Hi, Does Ubuntu 12.04 localization files get update after the release date?
[17:50] <compdoc> lickalott, what do you mean?
 lickalott, change the valid users to a real username
[17:50] <LucidLuna> @ e\ectro are you using vnc to connect to your server remotely?
[17:50] <melter> does anyone know if it's possible to get dhcpcd5 to request a specific ip from a dhcp server? (not a static ip, just a polite request for a specific dynamic ip if it's not already assigned to someone else)
[17:50] <pgib> LucidLuna, no... that sounds a bit odd since I thought update-manager is just a shell around dpkg.. but I can try
[17:50] <multu> pgib I'm running the default gnome/unity on 12.04. Computer just started doing this today
[17:51] <compdoc> lickalott, is the share section at the bottom, I added a line valid users =
[17:51] <lickalott> AHHHH
[17:51] <pgib> multu, so probably lightdm.. click the little icon next to your username after choosing the username (or look at the bottom of the screen for choices)
[17:51] <compdoc> one for each share
[17:52] <multu> pgib:  I dont even get to the login/splash. grub takes me straight to busybox/ash
[17:52] <lickalott> you nailed it.  that's my username
[17:53] <pgib> multu, oh.. that's cool..

[17:53] <e\ectro> Anyone know how to fix this issue of no icons?  http://i1359.photobucket.com/albums/q783/bildz/ubuntu1210.jpg
[17:53] <multu> pgib: just started happening this morning. no idea why its doing this
[17:53] <lickalott> this is how I got that nick - http://www.check-six.com/lib/Drinks/JeremiahWeed.htm
[17:54] <pgib> LucidLuna, same problem
[17:54] <LucidLuna> :(
[17:55] <LucidLuna> have you tried upgrading with sudo do-release-upgrade
[17:55] <compdoc> lickalott, I think with win 7, theres a registry setting I had to change too, but if you can open any of the shares, maybe you dont need to
[17:55] <lickalott> compdoc same.. "Destination folder Access denied" for that 1 share.
[17:55] <lickalott> gotta run for 10 mins.  brb
[17:56] <LucidLuna> @pgib have you tried upgrading with sudo do-release-upgrade ?
[17:56] <e\ectro> anyone seen that problem where their icons have no text?
[17:56] <e\ectro> even pop ups
[17:58] <e\ectro> I've stumped you all :)
[17:58] <e\ectro> even myself
[18:00] <jrib> e\ectro: create fresh new user, see if problem persists :)  Also, does this happen if you don't use NX?
[18:00] <e\ectro> good call
[18:00] <e\ectro> i can just move the .xfce folder
[18:01] <jrib> e\ectro: new user will give more information if just moving .xfce doesn't change anything
[18:02] <pgib> LucidLuna, no, but I just did, and it returns the same result. And you just quit... great.  Wow, this is pissing me off
[18:02] <pgib> I do have a dev repository included.. is that throwing it off? how can I get around that?  They do have an quantal branch
[18:03] <usr13> Why would someone have  ~ %   instead of   $  at a terminal prompt?
[18:04] <pgib> usr13, because they use a different prompt or shell than you do?
[18:04] <fanta05> !ciao
[18:04] <jrib> usr13: they changed their prompt.  Or they are just using a different shell with a different default prompt (zsh will have % by default)
[18:04] <e\ectro> jrib: testing now with a new user
[18:06] <e\ectro> jrib: didnt fix it
[18:07] <jrib> e\ectro: is it possible for you to try without NX to see if it's the culprit?
[18:07] <e\ectro> not remotely :(
[18:09] <Mulettinoasda> Hellooooooooooo!!!
[18:09] <Mulettinoasda> Can anyone help me compiling kexec as a module?
[18:09] <MonkeyDust> !find kexec
[18:10] <K350> where's the location of gnome's window-decorator?
[18:11] <pgib> K350, as in the path to the main binary?
[18:11] <jrib> e\ectro: what ubuntu version?  Version of freenx?  How did you install freenx?  There are some hits on google about missing fonts when using freenx and some suggestions about how to address it
[18:12] <K350> pgib: Eh, I mean where's the themes for the window-decorator located?
[18:13] <pgib> K350, probably in /usr/share
[18:13] <RD_> RD1
[18:14] <belgianguy> is there an app/widget type of thing for Ubuntu 12.10 to monitor the worst offenders by RAM usage or processor usage?
[18:14] <pgib> belgianguy, there is always good ole 'top'
[18:14] <belgianguy> I'm experiencing a hangup problem, and don't know what causes it
[18:14] <RD1> belgian have you looked at system monitor ?
[18:14] <belgianguy> my mouse seems to slow down terribly before the system locks up completely
[18:15] <belgianguy> and I can't even get to tty1
[18:15] <belgianguy> RD1: I used to have such a widget in the menu bar
[18:15] <belgianguy> but those I can't find
[18:15] <K350> pgib: Ok, there they're Hm at least the gnome themes.
[18:16] <belgianguy> what was that about?
[18:16] <pgib> what?
[18:16] <belgianguy> anyone else seeing their posts repeated by -kerm-ekhar-
[18:17] <belgianguy> is there an op here?
[18:17] <pgib> belgianguy, -kerm-ekhar- just told me my post was bullshit... not sure either..
[18:17] <RD1> i am running 12.1 also, it has system monitor on it, but am using gnome desktop, so i can find it
[18:17] <belgianguy> pgib: yeah was a spammer probably
[18:18] <belgianguy> he was posing as freenode staff
[18:18] <belgianguy> hope this paste won't get my kb'ed
[18:18] <RD1> is there anyone about who can help with some samba woes ?  it;s been kicking my butt all day
[18:18] <K350> What tool to use to change gnome's default window-decorator?
[18:18] <pgib> belgianguy, seriously though, stop using <enter> as punctuation. it gets annoying
[18:18] <minimec> belgianguy: for debugging of 'screen/mouse freezes', I would recommend to install the ssh server and the software htop. Then login with a different computer to the machines, that freezes via ssh, and check its cpu/ram usage with htop.
[18:19] <belgianguy> pgib: pet peeve of mine, I'll try to pay attention
[18:19] <belgianguy> thanks minimec, I'll try that
[18:23] <pgib> Just for anyone who was following my issue (in case you have the same issue, or a n00bz0r asks the same thing)  I ran into "E:Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages".  I just started systematically purging PPAs with purge-ppa, then it eventually worked.  Hopefully I can add the PPAs back once the install is done and not have anything catastrophic happen  (I was using xorg-edgers due to some funky issues with my nvidia quattro / 3 moni
[18:23] <pgib> tor setup; I needed to use xinerama instead of xrandr)
[18:24] <poglesbyg> whois
[18:24] <vantage|home> hi anyone knows this distro? is it ubuntu with a theme? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RcsoX87CKz0&list=UUb01_8q5VNjWpFZgMyRlYnw&index=1&feature=plcp
[18:24] <winb_> lol wtf happened
[18:25] <pgib> vantage|home, looks like stock XFCE desktop, or maybe xubuntu-desktop
[18:25] <vantage|home> pgib, hmm, ok thanks a lot :)
[18:26] <vantage|home> is there a karma bot in the channel?
[18:26] <pgib> vantage|home, xubuntu is actually my distro of choice since I cannot stand newer Gnomes or Unity *AT ALL*
[18:26] <vantage|home> yeah I can imagine
[18:26] <vantage|home> it works a lot faster :)
[18:26] <bazhang> vantage|home, no
[18:26] <vantage|home> bazhang, allright too bad
[18:27] <pgib> vantage|home, check out xubuntu-12.10 if you want to try a new install.  You can also install xubuntu-desktop if you are running ubuntu.  It is just xfce-4.10 with some preconfigured settings and extra replacement apps for stuff not in xfce
[18:28] <vantage|home> pgib, makes me wonder do you like fluxbox, icewm, ... ?
[18:28] <savio> hi
[18:28] <pgib> vantage|home, I used to use fluxbox. it has fallen too far behind the times for me, sadly
[18:29] <vantage|home> myeah that's true
[18:29]  * vantage|home has dinner
[18:29] <vantage|home> see you in a moment :)
[18:29] <pgib> you know where I work?
[18:30] <nitin> nitin
[18:31] <pgib> so we've dissolved to people just saying their own names..
[18:32] <savio> pgib, that's not true :)
[18:32] <AsaShI> e.e
[18:33] <hitesa> anyone here from netherlands?
[18:33] <AsaShI> I'm spanish and I don't understand jajajaja
[18:33] <jrib> !nl | hitesa
[18:33] <bazhang> hitesa, #ubuntu-nl for nederlands
[18:34] <bazhang> bots gone jrib
[18:34] <AsaShI> The translator is useful :P
[18:34] <jrib> ubottu, you were a good bot... you will be missed
[18:34] <hitesa> AsaShI is there any IT demand in spain?
[18:34] <hitesa> I'm from portugal
[18:34] <RD1> any networking guys around? have some trouble with samba, i cannot access network locations, i can see computers on the network, but cant get access to anything including this machine on the network
[18:34] <AsaShI> Jajajaja
[18:35] <AsaShI> Mmmm... Spain is in "crisis", everything goes wrong.
[18:35] <Dr_Willis> RD1:  how are you trying to access the location?
[18:35] <bazhang> AsaShI, thats offtopic here
[18:36] <RD1> by going to the network link from places, also have tried from 2 different win7 machines
[18:36] <AsaShI> More or less.
[18:36] <bazhang> AsaShI, chit chat in #ubuntu-offtopic NOT here
[18:36] <AsaShI> In my house we eat rice and chicken almost every day.
[18:38] <DeLorean731> Is this possible? I want to put my Ubuntu computer to sleep and be able to boot into another partition on the save drive. What I'm trying to do it keep all the current applications I have open open while booting into another partition.
[18:38] <Dr_Willis> RD1:  try accessing them via their ip# instead of the server name. also make sure you can ping the machines via ip#
[18:38] <Dr_Willis> RD1:  using the nautulus file manager you can use ctrl-l to show the address bar and enter smb://ip.of.the.server/sharename   (or just try the ip)
[18:38] <jrib> DeLorean731: suspend to disk.  My experience has been hit or miss with it...
[18:38] <DeLorean731> jrib: thank you sir (:
[18:39] <jrib> DeLorean731: I think it uses the swap partition though, so you might need different swap partitions
[18:39] <Dr_Willis> there used to be a 'session' feautre to save what apps you had opened.. but i dont recall it ever working very well.
[18:40] <RD1> i can get to the computers in network view, but none of the windows boxes  will accept passwords, is strange, do you want me to try to ping the windows machines from here, or the ubuntu machine from a win7 box ?
[18:40] <jrib> DeLorean731: I have no idea if the feature is exposed by default anymore, check the menu where you power off
[18:42] <RD1> tried from a windows box, i get a ping reply from this box
[18:42] <tinti> Hi is google down?
[18:42] <fego> tinti: http://www.downforeveryoneorjustme.com/
[18:43] <tinti> fego: at least where I am it is down
[18:43] <Dr_Willis> RD1:  make sure they can ping each other. ;) to insure they are networked.. but it sounds like they are.
[18:44] <RD1> yes, i just tried a return ping from this comp, and both computers are reachable via ping
[18:44] <tinti> fego: thanks. quite nice3
[18:44] <Dr_Willis> RD1:  its possible the windows firewall is messing with stuff as well. You could disable it tempararly.
[18:44] <fego> tinti: you are welcome :)
[18:45] <Dr_Willis> RD1:  if theres more then one ubuntu box on the network you may want to setup some guest shares and see if they can acces each other.
[18:45] <jackbrownhf> I just installed ubuntu 12.10 but my mouse Logitech M515 doesn't work, on another laptop with Linux Mint 11 it works like charm
[18:46] <vantage|dinner> back
[18:47] <vantage|home> pgib, no, where do you work?
[18:47] <hilarie> I think I found a bug in /proc/net/dev where would I report that?
[18:48] <RD1> if i go to network places on this machine should i be able to open up my oen shares from there ?
[18:48] <vantage|home> pgib made vantage|home curious
[18:48] <pgib> vantage|home, just wondering how you would "see me" in a few
[18:48] <vantage|home> pgib, how do you mean?
[18:49] <jackbrownhf> I just installed ubuntu 12.10 but my mouse Logitech M515 doesn't work, on another laptop with Linux Mint 11 it works like charm
[18:49] <Dr_Willis> !find mtpfs
[18:49] <vantage|home> pgib, *badaboom* *tssss*
[18:49] <Dr_Willis> ;(
[18:49] <vantage|home> pgib, I got it xD
[18:50] <Dr_Willis> RD1:  ive had where the ip# to the share works.. but the hostname to it does not.
[18:53] <vantage|home> nasty button
[18:53] <minimec> jackbrownhf: Don't repeat yourself... ;) This could be a solution. http://th0th.me/log/pairing-logitech-unifying-devices-on-gnulinux/ Maybe the kernel driver changed. 'mint 11' was based on ubuntu 11.04
[18:53] <vantage|home> power button on laptop, hit it accidently and *bam* the whole system shuts down
[18:53] <amglassner> Hello, I am wondering how to dual boot Ubuntu with Windows 8 preloaded on a laptop.  I am entirley new to Windows 8 and the new UEFI program.  Is there anyway to do this?
[18:54] <jackbrownhf> minimec: solved
[18:55] <RD1> i just tried disabling the firewall, i had no luck, earlier i was able to connect to a winxp box and copy the network files there, maybe it is an issue with windows 7, or the way samba communicates with it.
[18:56] <l0st1me> hello?
[18:56] <SwedeMike> !hi | l0st1me
[18:56] <l0st1me> Is there a way to get ubuntu linux to run on a Toshiba satellite laptop?
[18:56] <SwedeMike> l0st1me: most likely yes.
[18:56] <Walex2> l0st1me: installation.
[18:56] <l0st1me> SwedeMike, you wouldn't happen to know how, by chance?
[18:56] <SwedeMike> l0st1me: have you tried it?
[18:56] <gordonjcp> l0st1me: probably much the same as for any other computer
[18:57] <l0st1me> The livecd option needs hacking.
[18:57] <SwedeMike> hacking how?
[18:57] <gordonjcp> l0st1me: what spec is the machine?
[18:57] <l0st1me> My screen goes berzerk.
[18:57] <l0st1me> The Toshiba model is C655D.
[18:57] <gordonjcp> that doesn't really tell me anything
[18:57] <l0st1me> The processor gives an error, everytime.
[18:57] <l0st1me> AMD CPU 64-bit.
[18:57] <gordonjcp> oh, that should be fine
[18:58] <SwedeMike> l0st1me: what error is that?
[18:58] <l0st1me> Windows  7 preinstalled.
[18:58] <l0st1me> That might be my problem, all together.
[18:58] <l0st1me> I've tried a few things, and can maintain an uptime of about 5 minutes, but that's it.
[18:59] <l0st1me> I was afraid of that, I need newer equipment.
[18:59] <l0st1me> Any recommendations on a linux box?
[18:59] <l0st1me> Thanks, SwedeMike.
[18:59] <gordonjcp> l0st1me: I recommend you start answering the questions people ask ;-)
[18:59] <l0st1me> gordonjcp, what's your question?
[19:00] <gordonjcp> l0st1me: well SwedeMike asked what the error was
[19:00] <l0st1me> The cpu was not recognized as 64 bit, error.
[19:00] <gordonjcp> o_O
[19:00] <l0st1me> However, it is.  cpuid.
[19:01] <budmang> Hey Guys. 12.10 laptop, randomly my wired network stopped working/showing up in the network manager.. any ideas? ive uninstalled reinstalled used different versions of the networkmanager nothing
[19:01] <gordonjcp> l0st1me: there's not something in the BIOS to lock it to 32-bit, or some similar madness?
[19:01] <l0st1me> gordonjcp, I think it's an incompatibility issue.
[19:01] <l0st1me> gordonjcp, I think I'll get a new one.
[19:01] <l0st1me> Usually I can hack it in, but not on this one.
[19:01] <l0st1me> Maybe it's me, limited knowledge base.
[19:02] <gordonjcp> l0st1me: it's way newer than my laptop, or my desktop
[19:02] <SwedeMike> l0st1me: try 32bit install then and see if that work.
[19:02] <l0st1me> That is not an option, it doesn't even run many win32 programs.
[19:02] <gordonjcp> maybe it's faulty then
[19:03] <l0st1me> The version of windows is 64-bit, and no 32 bit cd to use, either.
[19:03] <l0st1me> I was hoping that virtual machine from livelinuxusb would get around it, but it didn't.
[19:04] <minimec> l0st1me: Your computer doesn't love linux at all... I found this. Read 'Discussion' http://www.linlap.com/toshiba_satellite_c655d
[19:04] <rented_tux> hi everyone. Is this an appropriate place to get some help re: installing bootloader to USB drive when usb-gtk-creator crashes?
[19:05] <l0st1me> minimec, thank you.
[19:05] <Dr_Willis> rented_tux:  it is. theres alternatives to that tool also at the pendrivelinux and other sites
[19:05] <l0st1me> The main problem seems to be errors, and misidentified chipsets
[19:05] <pconwell> Anyone use crashplan? I bought it on sale the other day, and I'm having issues getting the gui to start.
[19:05] <rented_tux> thx dr_willis i'll check it out..
[19:06] <gordonjcp> l0st1me: if you're off to buy a laptop with similar spec, pick up an old Macbook
[19:06] <l0st1me> I was hoping there was a workaround, but I guess not.  Thanx again guys.  Bye
[19:12] <bulletrulz> lol when i press caps lock it types this\9-75

[19:14] <kiwi-foobar> I have a problem with an upgrade from 12.04 to 12.10 can anyone here help. It looks like the window manager does not start correctly.  In fact compiz crashes I have got almost _no_ gui access but I can reboot into root shell. Installed ccsm and check to see if the unity plug in was installed and enabled, which it was	Removed my nvidia card;	sudo apt-get remove --purge "nvidia-*";	sudo rm /etc/X11/Xorg.conf; but still no go
[19:15] <ecips> kiwi-foobar: Errors in log files?
[19:15] <ecips> kiwi-foobar: ~/.xsession-errors
[19:16] <Guest61274> hi
[19:19] <shanttu> What is the program that has a gui to configure actions (for example "when vga inserted, run this command"). Introduced on omgubuntu earlier this year
[19:20] <kiwi-foobar> I will look at the ~/.xsessions-errors tonight is there anything else that I can look at
[19:20] <Dr_Willis> shanttu:  it used to be HAL. but i forget what its called now
[19:20] <ecips> kiwi-foobar: log files :)
[19:21] <Dr_Willis> shanttu: let me look a bit. ;)
[19:21] <ecips> kiwi-foobar: /var/log/Xorg.0.log too perhaps
[19:21] <shanttu> Dr_Willis, of course. Thanks. One should always take notes when seeing something interesting
[19:22] <kiwi-foobar> Ok I will get them tonight. Thanks for you help
[19:22] <BlueWolf> Hi there, I was recently working on an older computer that has XP and I was working with a spread Sheet. Now when I open it up in both Windows 7 and Ubuntu 10.04 all my hard work is in Question Marks. The file type is
[19:22] <BlueWolf> .xls? How can if fix this problem as all my work is on there? Unfortunately the computer I did it on is not mine and in another city by now.
[19:24] <rds_> hai guys is there any application that can use to chat via ubuntu with my phone ?
[19:25] <Dr_Willis> shanttu:  i always do delicious.com bookmarks to tag stuff ;)
[19:25] <kiwi-foobar> ecips Thanks for your help - will you be back here tomorrow
[19:25] <kiwi-foobar> whois ecips
[19:25] <ecips> possibly ;)
[19:26] <ecips> but probably not at this time :)
[19:26] <ecips> Tue Nov 27 03:26:13 WST 2012
[19:26] <ecips> I  just forgot to go to bed tonight :)
[19:27] <InspectorCluseau> BlueWolf, http://libreoffice.turbolinux.org/tag/xls
[19:28] <InspectorCluseau> BlueWolf, Maybe some help there.
[19:28] <BlueWolf> InspectorCluseau: Thanks I will look through it. Do you know why it would do that?
[19:29] <InspectorCluseau> M$ issue?
[19:31] <Dr_Willis> rds_:  that google voice stuff works with Ubuntu. You can dial phones with it. ;)
[19:33] <rds_> Dr_Willis, I tried it but in my country it is not working as other network service !
[19:34] <lickalott> awww man...compdoc blasted?
[19:35] <rds_> Dr_Willis, and also I tried wammu i can send sms from it but when a new sms receive   there is no notification in that app
[19:35] <lickalott> i'm still in need of assistance if anyone is willing to pick up where compdoc left off...
[19:35] <lickalott> Have 3 drives mounted via UUID in fstab and shared out via samba.  (we'll call them drive1, drive2, and drive3)  From a windows box I can map to all three but can only copy stuff to drive 1 and drive2.  when I go to copy to drive 3 i get "destination folder not assessible".  I've scanned fstab and smb.conf for permission and they are all the same.  I have "default" set for options inside fstab
[19:35] <lickalott> .  Anyone have any suggestions?
[19:36] <jackbrownhf> hey
[19:36] <lickalott> i've edited smb.conf per compdocs suggestion but still get denied
[19:36] <pgib> lickalott, freespace?
[19:36] <jackbrownhf> I can't find additiona driver installation on 12.10 for Nvidia driver I have a Nvidia 650M GT
[19:36] <lickalott> plenty
[19:37] <lickalott> 386 of 485 free (gb)
[19:37] <lickalott> going on two days of troubleshooting now.
[19:38] <xtremefresh> lickalott, permission of the drive
[19:38] <pgib> what are the real names of the exports? Perhaps there is some special reserved character or such in the name?  Do the shares work from another linux-box through samba?  Finally, what about actual filesystem permissions? Have write and execute permission on the directory? what about ACL?
[19:38] <pgib> ^ lickalott
[19:38] <themhz> hello, can someone tell me if there is an add-on for libreoffice so I can type my math symbols ?
[19:39] <lickalott> xtremefresh folders are all 777, drives via fstab are "default" for options.
[19:39] <lickalott> pgib did you see the pastebin?
[19:39] <pgib> themhz, I don't know about libreoffice, but I can recommend LaTeX for writing math expressions and such. But I am a huge fan of TeX, so sorry to step around your issue
[19:40] <lickalott> it worked in the past.  which is the weird part.
[19:40] <lickalott> no ACL's
[19:40] <rented_tux> themhz check out TexMaths or Writer2LaTex
[19:40] <lickalott> the other 2 drives accept transfers fine
[19:40] <themhz> pgib,  no problem, I should check that in software center?
[19:40] <pgib> lickalott, repost pastebin please
[19:41] <lickalott> when I tried to chmod -R 777 /media/WOLVERINE it got "file system is read only permission denied"
[19:41] <lickalott> http://pastebin.com/DP37r6mP
[19:41] <lickalott>  http://pastebin.com/1g7PpYgz
[19:41] <fission6> if i symlink tp a file and in that file are references to other file paths are they relative to where the file actual exists or where th symlink is
[19:42] <soapbubble> йо
[19:42] <pgib> themhz, yeah texlive or texlive-full.  But this isn't WYSIWYG... it is very popular among mathematicians and compsci for papers, journals, and books though.
[19:42] <pgib> themhz, and the results look superior to any other packages I have ever used
[19:42] <InspectorCluseau> http://roland65.free.fr/texmaths/
[19:43] <pgib> fission6, depends if your program in question "dereferences" the symlink or not.  In general: relative to the symlink
[19:43] <themhz> pgib,  ok I will check it out, thanx
[19:43] <InspectorCluseau> themhz, ^
[19:43] <pconwell> Anyone use crashplan? I bought it on sale the other day, and I'm having issues getting the gui to start.
[19:43] <xtremefresh> lickalott it really sounds like a owner issue
[19:44] <lickalott> from where xtremefresh?  the local folder side or the fstab side?
[19:46] <xtremefresh> lickalott, check both, and see if any diff from one drive to next
[19:46] <lickalott> i don't see anything.
[19:46] <fission6> thanks glebihan_
[19:47] <fission6> pgib:
[19:47] <BlueWolf> Does any one know an Ubuntu program that will open and read a Microsoft Excel File Extension (.xls)???
[19:47] <lickalott> is there anything I could pastebin you that would assist?
[19:47] <TheLordOfTime> BlueWolf, libreoffice.
[19:47] <TheLordOfTime> or openoffice
[19:47] <rhizmoe> i'm getting weird errors for kwallet, should i just uninstall it?
[19:48] <BlueWolf>
[19:48] <BlueWolf> TheLordOfTime: Well my open office is not opening it, it's opening in codes and stuff. like in Question Marks?
[19:48] <pgib> BlueWolf, also, if you absolutely need to run Microsoft Excel, then look at playonlinux. I can run the Office 2010 suite without issue when interoperability is required.
[19:49] <TheLordOfTime> BlueWolf, you sure its .xls and not .xlsx
[19:49] <lickalott> xtremefresh - just tried a chmod ---> chown: changing ownership of `Rom Collection': Read-only file system
[19:49] <pgib> well. a RO filesystem would be a likely reason why file creation fails
[19:50] <lickalott> *chown
[19:50] <BlueWolf> TheLordOfTime: Yes it's .xls, Microsoft PowerPoint 97/2000/XP
[19:50] <TheLordOfTime> BlueWolf, erm, powerpoint or excel?
[19:50] <pgib> lickalott, does 'mount' list the file system with the option "ro"?
[19:50] <TheLordOfTime> BlueWolf, powerpoint != .xls :P
[19:51] <BlueWolf> TheLordOfTime: It should be Excel?
[19:51] <lickalott> /dev/sda1 on /media/WOLVERINE type ext3 (rw)
[19:51] <pgib> BlueWolf, if it is supposed to be powerpoint, try renaming the file to ppt or pptx
[19:52] <lickalott> nothing is making sense....
[19:52] <zelozelos> im attempting to figure out if i should / can use the display driver for my system, im running 32bit ubuntu 12.04lts, i have nvideo 540m dual configuration with windows chipset, ( i believe its called Optimus? but not sure) anyhow, is ther a scan i can do to turn up any drivers avalible?
[19:53] <BlueWolf>
[19:53] <BlueWolf> pgib: No, it's just opening in yyyyyy's????????
[19:53] <lickalott> xtremefresh - what "should" an fstab entry look like?
[19:53] <InspectorCluseau> BlueWolf, I just opened a real old .xls file in libreoffice calc and it is perfect.
[19:54] <zelozelos> anyone here have an acer aspire 5560g?
[19:54] <BlueWolf> InspectorCluseau: I don't have libreoffice, I am using Ubuntu 10.04 which has OpenOffice?
[19:54] <CrazyZurfer> hello, I've got a problem with the wifi, at my university all devices must use a CA Certificate, but every device takes it automatically and verifys it with an internal server. EXCEPT Ubbuntu
[19:54] <InspectorCluseau> get libreoffice?
[19:55] <zelozelos> how do i scan my hardware to possibly use drivers for my hardware?
[19:55] <BlueWolf>
[19:55] <CrazyZurfer> Ubuntu keeps asking for the CA Certificate all the time
[19:55] <BlueWolf> InspectorCluseau: How? Surely that won't work?
[19:55] <InspectorCluseau> BlueWolf, But both the 'offices' are basically the same.
[19:56] <InspectorCluseau> BlueWolf, You on linux? It's a free download.
[19:56] <anchv> hello
[19:57] <pgib> InspectorCluseau, is it available to 10.04 without a backport?
[19:57] <InspectorCluseau> BlueWolf, It's been around for a long time.
[19:58] <pgib> BlueWolf, in any case, you are using the right tool, reasonably so anyways.  This has now escaped the topic of this channel.  I recommend asking openoffice/libreoffice people
[19:59] <CrazyZurfer> !CA
[19:59] <BlueWolf> pgib: Right..... Thanks
[19:59] <CrazyZurfer> !certificate
[19:59] <CrazyZurfer> !CA Certificate
[19:59] <lickalott> just found this - fdisk: unable to read /dev/sda: Inappropriate ioctl for device
[19:59] <lickalott> sda1 is what is mounted to the folder that I can't copy to.
[20:01] <espen__> hey, silly place to ask but hey thought someone would be kind to help me out.
[20:01] <FloodBot1> !netsplit
[20:01] <mickster14> :/
[20:01] <mickster14> well this is irksome
[20:01] <espen__> got a harddrive that i used shred on, but i ended up restarting because it took too long. now ive ended up with a harddrive not willing to initialize, and getting input/output.
[20:01] <espen__> suggestions?
[20:02] <espen__> input/output errors
[20:02] <lickalott> system rescue disk or gparted espen__
[20:02] <pgib> espen__, if you are still worried about data on the drive, I would shred it again. Or use 'dd' to wipe the data.  Afterwards, I would just reformat it with a new filesystem
[20:03] <espen__> i tried that pgib
[20:03] <espen__> but i get input/output errors
[20:03] <espen__> shred: /dev/sda: pass 1/2 (random)...1.0GiB/932GiB 0% shred: /dev/sda: fdatasync failed: Input/output error
[20:03] <pgib> when using mkfs* ?
[20:03] <espen__> nah i haven't tried mkfs?
[20:03] <espen__> mind giving me the command?
[20:03] <pgib> espen__, well it depends on what you want to do. Which filesystem do you want?
[20:03] <espen__> ntfs
[20:04] <pgib> you'll want to use mkntfs
[20:05] <pgib> however.. if there are actually bad sectors on the drive... then, well, be careful.  Maybe you can look into some of the SMART utils to get a diagnosis of the drive, but IDK if that works on externals
[20:05] <espen__> its an internal drive
[20:06] <pgib> espen__, ok look at smartmontools if you want some introspection from your drive
[20:06] <{xmb}> i heard some wanna switch the distro ...: another solution is adding original debian sources to apt /etc/sources.list , adds many new sw , i'm currently trying it , i'll let ya'll 'no
[20:06] <rhizmoe_> meh
[20:06] <rhizmoe_> i'm getting weird errors for kwallet, should i just uninstall it?
[20:06] <{xmb}> sup
[20:07] <{xmb}> may we see
[20:07] <pgib> rhizmoe_, yeah KDE sucks, uninstall it
[20:07] <jrib> {xmb}: no, don't add debian repositories on an ubuntu install unless you want a broken install
[20:07] <rhizmoe_> it's popping up when i have to auth for svn
[20:07] <rhizmoe_> s/for/under/
[20:07] <{xmb}> from deb to ubuntu it was broken years ago, ill tell u if it does now
[20:07] <pgib> rhizmoe_, I think that is the point of kwallet, to house your tokens for other services
[20:07] <{xmb}> i added many , rarity, experimental etc
[20:07] <jrib> {xmb}: what?
[20:07] <{xmb}> its already in progress
[20:07] <jrib> {xmb}: this is a great way to end up with a broken install...
[20:08] <{xmb}> im a pro linux kouder though
[20:08] <rhizmoe> pgib: right, and i accept the idea, but not with so many errors. is there a gnome/xfce one that will supplant it if i uninsetall?
[20:08] <jrib> {xmb}: ok
[20:08] <pgib> {xmb}, and that is why you are asking advice of the #ubuntu channel on freenode?
[20:08] <{xmb}> =))
[20:09] <rhizmoe> =))))))))))))))))))))
[20:09] <sw0rdfish-> hi, is there a quick tutorial to setup nginx or apache as proxy servers? (I'd prefer nginx I think)
[20:09] <{xmb}> erm i ask nada
[20:09] <{xmb}> i share wiszdom
[20:09] <{xmb}> in short
[20:09] <rhizmoe> {xmb}: what grade r u in
[20:09] <{xmb}> hrmf, rephrase
[20:09] <rhizmoe> {xmb}: how old r u
[20:10] <{xmb}> 27.5
[20:10] <pgib> {xmb}, ah. I must have missed something from the split.  I don't really care.  Custom kernels on Gentoo, no problem. On ubuntu, I don't want to touch a single thing
[20:10] <rhizmoe> {xmb}: months?
[20:10] <{xmb}> whats it yo
[20:10] <rhizmoe> is that a sentence
[20:10] <{xmb}> however
[20:11] <{xmb}> im new on ubuntu, like, a week

[20:11] <rhizmoe> {xmb} so how old r u
[20:11] <rhizmoe> i need 2 no
[20:11] <TheLordOfTime> {xmb}, do you have a support question, though?  if not, please talk in #ubuntu-offtopic for random non-support babble.
[20:11] <TheLordOfTime> rhizmoe, that's not really necessary to know in here...
[20:11] <{xmb}> 27 dude
[20:11] <{xmb}> =))))
[20:11] <pgib> rhizmoe, age, experience, and intelligence have no direct correlation.  Seems like an irrelevant question

[20:12] <lunaphyte> hi.  sometimes i install a package for whatever reason, and then later, i can't recall why i installed it.  is there some mechanism i can use that's part of the packaging system to include a note associated with that package for this sort of thing?
[20:12] <{xmb}> ey admin, do u know LordImac ?
[20:12] <rhizmoe> lunaphyte: nope
[20:13] <lunaphyte> hmm, that's too bad.
[20:13] <rhizmoe> you could write one
[20:13] <lunaphyte> :)
[20:13] <jrib> lunaphyte: i guess you could... add a comment to the end of your comment to install something and then just search your shell's history...
[20:13] <{xmb}> brb or bbl thx =))
[20:13] <bekks> lunaphyte: You can create a text file on your desktop, called "notes.txt" :)
[20:13] <jrib> s/your comment/your command
[20:14] <TheLordOfTime> is there a way to install a package's dependencies without installing the package?
[20:16] <OerHeks> TheLordOfTime, manually, sure.
[20:16] <jrib> TheLordOfTime: I'm curious why you would want to
[20:16] <TheLordOfTime> jrib, i need the dependencies for supybot, but don't want the actual program itself (building from source from one of its forks, although its dependencies are the same)
[20:17] <jrib> TheLordOfTime: apt-get build-dep
[20:17] <TheLordOfTime> jrib, that gets the build deps
[20:17] <TheLordOfTime> but not the runtime deps
[20:17] <TheLordOfTime> i need the runtime deps too :p
[20:17] <stefanos> Hello! I'd like to know for a book to learn the basic terminal commands
[20:17] <jrib> TheLordOfTime: meh, just install it and remove it
[20:18] <pgib> TheLordOfTime, dpkg -I package
[20:18] <pgib> oops, that is for a deb.  I know there is something in apt-cache. maybe apt-cache depend?
[20:18] <jrib> TheLordOfTime: I don't think there's any nice short way.  You're either going to have to parse the depends yourself or write something short to do it for you.  Maybe you can rig something up with aptitude's special search flags
[20:19] <pgib> jrib, if you remove it, then the dependencies will probably be purged later on since they are unneeded and not explicitly added
[20:19] <OerHeks> stefanos, this is a good start > https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal
[20:19] <jrib> pgib: sure, but at that point you can explicitly install them when you're asked to remove them
[20:19] <stefanos> Ok, thank you very much!!!
[20:20] <pgib> TheLordOfTime, if you are trying to install a package yourself, but want ubuntu to provide the dependencies, then I thought there is some way to tell ubuntu that "Hey, trust me, I have this package installed myself"  but I forget how.
[20:21] <jrib> pgib: maybe thinking of "equivs"
[20:25] <dupondje> Anyone also has bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lightdm/+bug/1073649 ?
[20:28] <apate> I have an odd problem, and I can't locate the source. There constantly is a warning in my system tray saying the following: "An error occurred, please run Package Manager from the right-click menu or apt-get in a terminal to see what is wrong. The error message was: 'Error: BrokenCount > 0
[20:28] <apate> '. This usually means that your installed packages have unmet dependencies"
[20:29] <apate> apt-get seems to fully work though, upating and upgrading works without problems, and apt-get -f install does nothing, neither does clean or autoremove
[20:29] <pgib> apate, means that you have a package, and it depends on something which is no longer available
[20:29] <apate> pgib: any way to locate this particular dependency?
[20:30] <pgib> apate, I just had a similar problem due to some experimental PPAs I was using.  I could never get it to tell me the real problem, and I just systematically removed repositories until it worked with the 'purge-ppa' tool.  This might be useful as a last resort
[20:30] <apate> pgib: i see, i read about that.. that will not remove the actual software installed through the PPA's right?
[20:33] <barone> ciao
[20:34] <ice799> hi i just installed 12.04 on a machine that was previously booting 10.04 perfectly. 12.04 seems to hang during boot, the last message on the console is about udevd starting
[20:34] <kiwi-foobar> Hi
[20:34] <kiwi-foobar> Hi ALl
[20:34] <ice799> is there anyway i can get more output as to why it could be unhappy?
[20:34] <ice799> as far as i can tell it is locked up pretty hard i cant switch to other virtual consoles or anything
[20:35] <kiwi-foobar> Hi All I am new to IRC Is there a quick start guide of commands and such like to make it a bit easier to use?
[20:39] <hm_> Hello, can someone help me with installing grub2 on my machine? I have got a fakeRaid system and whereas ubuntu installs fine, grub2 doesn't. Google gives me to mount the partition and chroot and manually set it up but doesn't work
[20:43] <endra> Hello
[20:44] <stefanos> Hello endra
[20:44] <troulouliou_dev> hi does anybody here have a dell xps 15Z with ubuntu on it ?
[20:44] <endra> When I install mysql-server using apt-get, there is a popup asking me to enter a root password. Can I give it this information without it doing a popup?
[20:44] <rhizmoe> if i'm just running xfce on top of ubuntu 12.04, can i "safely" uninstall everything kde-related?
[20:44] <rhizmoe> endra: that's just for the mysql server root user
[20:45] <Walex2> rhizmoe: yes.
[20:45] <wdilli01> okay folks, i have an ubuntu box with vmware player installed win7 girt, it was previously configured via a DHCP reservation, but i have since changed to a static config, only specifying a static entry for eth0, this has broken networking on my win7 side, saying "The network bridge on device /dev/vmnet0 is not running" sure enough ifconfig on the ubuntu side confirms only lo and eth0, do i need to specify the vmnet devices in /etc/network/interfa
[20:45] <wdilli01> Thanks.
[20:45] <stefanos> just write sudo apt-get and then give your ubuntu login password
[20:46] <wdilli01> lsmod | grep -i vm shows vmnet
[20:46] <SierraAR> In ubuntu 12.04, the update manager is giving me this message when trying to run updates: 'The action would require the installation of packages from not authenticated sources.: grisbi grisbi-common openttd openttd-data'
[20:46] <SierraAR> Is there a way to bypass that and let it install the updates?
[20:46] <memetic> I've got an nvidia geforce 9800 gt and I recently updated to ubuntu 12.10.  I'm using nvidia-current and when I boot up, I get the low graphics mode screen (and it's all scruntched up) and my mouse doesn't work anymore.
[20:47] <phunyguy_work> memetic the same happened to me on intel hardware.  a drop to tty1 and a restart of the lightdm service got me in.
[20:47] <memetic> Yeah, lightdm works fine.
[20:47] <phunyguy_work> memetic, methinks it was an update recently that caused that because it happened on all 4 of my machines.
[20:48] <memetic> I get no errors under /var/log/lightdm/.
[20:48] <phunyguy_work> any restarts after that worked fine.
[20:48] <memetic> I originally had a custom nvidia driver I ran and installed, but then I did the ol' purge nvidia* and then re-installed, then used some bleeding edge repo.
[20:49] <memetic> Restarting lightdm just brings up the same weird low graphics error selection crud
[20:49] <phunyguy_work> oh your issue is indeed different, memetic, can't help ya.
[20:49] <memetic> I can ALT+O to log in with low graphics mode but my house doesn't work.
[20:49] <memetic> err mouse
[20:51] <troulouliou_dev> anyubody with a dell xps 15 here ?
[20:51] <stephan_> should i use ext4 for my partitions or ext3
[20:51] <memetic> Should I just use nouveau
[20:51] <memetic> ?
[20:52] <troulouliou_dev> stephan_, ext4 is perfctly stable since a while now
[20:52] <troulouliou_dev> us eit
[20:52] <mickster04> !anybody | troulouliou_dev
[20:53] <stephan_> troulouliou_dev, ok thanks....must be something else then
[20:53] <troulouliou_dev> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport/Machines/Laptops/Dell/XPS/15z recomend adding acpi=noirq as boot parameter , when i add it, i have a black screen
[20:53] <troulouliou_dev> without it , i have plymouth screen but keyboard is not recognized for cryptsetup
[20:56] <Stihija> Hey, could anyone help me with problem booting ubuntu ?
[20:57] <Evil_Eric> so now ive installed just about all the programs and apps i use with 12.04 and i made all the modification i normal make so now when i start having issues im coming here
[20:57] <heoyea> o
[20:57] <Evil_Eric> thats a threat
[20:58] <stefanos> memetic try to re plug-in your mouse
[20:58] <designbybeck__> Intel 2Core Duo , 2GB RAM, 80GB HDD. Would that run 12.10 32bit ok?
[20:58] <ikonia> sure
[20:58] <heoyea> designbybeck__: get something lighter
[20:59] <heoyea> designbybeck__: then it flys
[20:59] <ikonia> no need for anything lighter
[20:59] <ikonia> resource wise, that's fine
[20:59] <ikonia> your concern should be your video card and it's compatability
[20:59] <designbybeck__> After using LinuxMint 13 XCFE ...it kinda blows Xubuntu out of the water heoyea
[20:59] <designbybeck__> so maybe I'll try that again...
[20:59] <designbybeck__> I just like how streamline and nice things seemed to be configured by defualt in Mint XCFE vs Xubuntu
[21:00] <heoyea> designbybeck__: core XFCE is fine also
[21:00] <ikonia> designbybeck__: then use mint,
[21:00] <ikonia> use whatever works best for you
[21:00] <apate> My system tray constantly shows the error "BrokenCount > 0", I have used ppa-purge to remove all extra PPA's, i deleted some of the apt folders and ran apt-get autoremove, update, and apt-get -f install.. nothing seems to work, the error message remains there in the Tray and comes back a while after every reboot..
[21:00] <apate> any idea anyone?
[21:00] <designbybeck__> I'll give them all a try. Thanks heoyea and ikonia
[21:01] <designbybeck__> I'll download Xubuntu 12.10 while i'm at it as well
[21:02] <heoyea> designbybeck__: is just XFCE, u can just install xfce4 in the repository if u need a base install
[21:02] <designbybeck__> what is the difference heoyea?
[21:03] <heoyea> designbybeck__: is like barebones
[21:03] <stephan_> can i use ext4 as my boot partition
[21:03] <heoyea> designbybeck__: so u dont get alot of junk, just install the stuff u want only
[21:04] <designbybeck__> gotcha
[21:04] <memetic> The system is running in low graphics mode.  I can't ctrl+alt+f1 to get to a command prompt, and can only ssh in.  I can't run Xorg -configure.  What do I do?
[21:05] <heoyea> memetic: ctrl+alt+f2 then?
[21:07] <fission6> any ideas why my upstart script works when i do start and when i do stop but when i do restart, it just shutsdown
[21:08] <Stihija> can someone help with this problem, 1 of my friend had, well still has, problem booting ubuntu. i took that pc at my place and tried to boot it, it offered to use several types of recovery and windows booting, i hit the windows and went to user screen and i tried to log on it but as soon as it showed the desktop it logged out, even in safe mode. i took out the HDD and connected to my pc and checked the files it contains but it only showed the ones that u
[21:08] <Stihija> sed to be on the windows not the ones that were on ubuntu, so my question is if i try to boot it with one of that recovery mode will all the files that were on it still be there, are there and possibility of the files been deleted?
[21:09] <heoyea> Stihija: it wont be delete
[21:09] <memetic> heoyea: I did that and can kill X, but when I run Xorg -configure it errors out about number of detected displays.
[21:10] <memetic> Number of created screens does not match number of detected devices.  Configuration failed.
[21:10] <heoyea> memetic: try reinstalling ur graphic drivers?
[21:11] <endra> rhizmoe: I am aware it is the mysql-server root password. I don't want interruption during the script, though. I want to set the root password using the cli instead of this popup thing.
[21:11] <memetic> I've totally done that.  I've apt-get'd some nvidia-current, and I've ./NVIDIA-'d some stuff.
[21:11] <memetic> I've even purged some stuff and used some special repository for bleeding edge X stuff and it all still winds up with a low graphics mode no-mouse working glitch.
[21:12] <trueneu> You know what... I tried E-MU 0404 USB with Windows, Mac OS X and Ubuntu. Guess in which case I didn't get pops and clicks when using small I/O buffers...
[21:12] <heoyea> memetic: maybe check ur xorg.conf file
