[13:47] <Zally666> Its just to mess with it in virtualbox or to be able to reinstall it later
[13:48] <iceroot> Zally666: then a dump/backup is what you want and not a real live-system
[13:48] <AceFace> let him play
[13:50] <ardizuri> hi all
[13:50] <Seryth> Hey guys, I just updated from 11.10 to 12.04, and I've got two problems. One is that I have no audio at all, and the other is that I cannot use apt-get....I get this error: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1026848/ I don't understand it...
[13:50] <mw__> i am trying to set up a luks crypted device. so far everything goes well, i can luksOpen the device nicely. i want to open the device at system boot time. i added the device via uuid inti /etc/crypttab and did update-initramfs. after reboot, i do not get asked for the passphrase and the device is not unlocked during boot. what did i miss?
[13:51] <ardizuri> I'm encountering problems with my AR9285 (atheros9k) wireless device
[13:51] <AceFace> Seryth: try reinstalling dpkg?
[13:51] <iceroot> AceFace: ...
[13:51] <Seryth> AceFace: I can't apt-get remove anything either
[13:51] <iceroot> AceFace: read the error message
[13:51] <ubuntu_64bit> hi gguysss
[13:51] <Seryth> AceFace: I can't use apt-get anywhere
[13:52] <LjL> Seryth: looks serious. "echo $PATH" will tell you if your path is set up correctly or not
[13:52] <AceFace> bummer
[13:52] <Seryth> LjL: Damn. Okay, tyring it now
[13:52] <ardizuri> I've tried all of what it is proposed in the forums
[13:52] <iceroot> LjL: isnt that using the root PATH?
[13:52] <Dantix> on twm, I can´t find thuderbird and it´s installed and can see it from my gnome-classic. What I need to do to add it to twm menus?
[13:52] <Seryth> LjL:  "$ echo $PATH" gave me "/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/games
[13:53] <iceroot> how to read VARIABLES from root? without su, sudo bash or sudo -i
[13:53] <iceroot> Seryth: dpkg is not using your path, its using the PATH from root
[13:53] <ubuntu_64bit>  am asking about tv manager will it be possible to stream video over Internet like cnn
[13:53] <Seryth> iceroot: Okay, and how can I fix this?
[13:53] <iceroot> Seryth: because dpkg itself is running as root
[13:53] <LjL> iceroot: oh i guess. Seryth, try sudo sh -c 'echo $PATH' instead
[13:53] <iceroot> Seryth: login as root and set the path
[13:53] <ubuntu_64bit>  am asking about tv manager add on  will it be possible to stream video over Internet like cnn
[13:54] <ardizuri> connection to low signal level routers is possible on my laptop when I boot w7
[13:54] <Seryth> iceroot:, LjL: Okay
[13:54] <ardizuri> but not in ubuntu
[13:54] <iceroot> Seryth: and pleae first run the command from LjL
[13:54] <Cottus> how can i add a program to the main repository
[13:54] <mw__> i am trying to set up a luks crypted device. so far everything goes well, i can luksOpen the device nicely. i want to open the device at system boot time. i added the device via uuid into /etc/crypttab and did update-initramfs. after reboot, i do not get asked for the passphrase and the device is not unlocked during boot. if i run cryptdisks_start it works fine. does it have to get mounted for being asked the passphrase?
[13:54] <Seryth> iceroot, LjL: same path result from that command
[13:54] <iceroot> Cottus: you mean how to become a maintainer?
[13:54] <Cottus> yes
[13:54] <Cottus> i'll google
[13:54] <LjL> Seryth: uh, including /usr/games?
[13:55] <ardizuri> I've ran out of ideas...
[13:55] <ardizuri> any suggestions here?
[13:55] <Seryth> http://paste.ubuntu.com/1026854/ LjL iceroot
[13:56] <iceroot> Seryth: you are missing /sbin
[13:56] <iceroot> root@Alien:/home/michael# which ldconfig
[13:56] <iceroot> /sbin/ldconfig
[13:56] <LjL> iceroot: oh! i missed that as well
[13:56] <iceroot> Seryth: did you edit a file called /root/.bashrc or something like that?
[13:56] <Seryth> iceroot: Uh okay. So wh----no, I didn't
[13:57] <Seryth> Though it might've got screwed up in the update...
[13:57] <iceroot> hm where is PATH set?
[13:57] <jn_> Trying to connect to work with VPNc.. is there a default IPSEC ID? The tech guys at my work only supplied a shared-secret key
[13:58] <Seryth> iceroot: The file .bashrc doesn't exist in /
[13:58] <iceroot> Seryth: /root/.bashrc
[13:58] <Cottus> actually i didn't find anything
[13:58] <meco> Can someone tell me what's wrong with this command:  at "mplayer -dumpstream -dumpfile NRKP2.mp3 http://lyd.nrk.no/nrk_radio_p2_mp3_h" 14:30
[13:58] <iceroot> Seryth: /root/ is the home-dir of the root-user
[13:58] <Seryth> iceroot: Oh, my bad, I thought by /root/ you mean /
[13:58] <Seryth> Yeah
[13:58] <meco> I get this error: syntax error. Last token seen: m
[13:58] <meco> Garbled time
[13:59] <LjL> iceroot: /etc/environment
[13:59] <iceroot> LjL: thx
[13:59] <meco> If I try instead: at "wget http://lyd.nrk.no/nrk_radio_p2_mp3_h" 14:50
[13:59] <Seryth> iceroot: I just looked in the file, I've never touched it before

[13:59] <meco> Garbled time
[13:59] <Seryth> iceroot: Okay
[13:59] <zzx> LTSP如何配置阿
[13:59] <iceroot> Seryth: there you should add /sbin
[13:59] <LjL> sysdoc, iceroot: my path in /etc/environment is: PATH="/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games"
[14:00] <iceroot> Seryth: PATH="/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games"
[14:00] <LjL> !cn | zzx
[14:00] <iceroot> Seryth: just copy that into the file and your dpkg issue should be fixed
[14:00] <Seryth> PATH="/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games" iceroot
[14:00] <iceroot> LjL: thanks for the help
[14:00] <eagle_eye> !fr
[14:00] <LjL> Seryth: you mean it's already like that? then hmm, something overrides it
[14:00] <iceroot> Seryth: what is the output of "which ldconfig"
[14:00] <genjix> There is no distro but Ubuntu, and Shuttleworth is the apostle of Ubuntu
[14:00] <zzx> 我想配置远程启动
[14:00] <iceroot> Seryth: maybe ldconfig is not installed
[14:01] <Seryth> iceroot: Perhaps not....though I don't see why the update would remove it
[14:01] <LjL> zzx: we only speak English here
[14:01] <Seryth> LjL: Yes, already like that
[14:01] <Cottus> found this one https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment/NewPackages
[14:01] <iceroot> Seryth: what is the output of "dpkg -l libc-bin"
[14:01] <Poesghost> genjix, granted Ubuntu is a nice distro but it isn't the only distro.
[14:02] <Seryth> LjL, iceroot: When I run `which ldconfig` nothing happens. And the ldconfig doesn't tab complete...
[14:02] <LjL> Seryth: try "ls -l /sbin/ldconfig"
[14:02] <Seryth> http://paste.ubuntu.com/1026876/ iceroot
[14:02] <iceroot> Cottus: have a look at "ubuntu sponsors" first
[14:03] <Seryth> -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 465 Apr 20 02:02 /sbin/ldconfig LjL
[14:03] <LjL> Seryth: ok so it's just the path that's wrong. have a look at the files listed at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EnvironmentVariables#Persistent_environment_variables to see if any of those overrides your PATH
[14:03] <iceroot> Seryth: what ubuntu version? are you running apt-get with sudo or are you using a real root-shell?
[14:04] <Seryth> iceroot: Well, the problem occured after I updated from 11.10 to 12.04 this morning....and I'm just running "sudo apt-get install xxx" or whatever.
[14:04] <Seryth> LjL: I will do so
[14:05] <iceroot> Seryth: ok then as LjL already guessed something may overwrite your PATH because ldconfig is not found but the package libc-bin is installed and the files exists
[14:06] <llutz> meco: echo "wget http://lyd.nrk.no/nrk_radio_p2_mp3_h" | at 14:50
[14:06] <Seryth> iceroot, LjL: So I'm checking all the files listed there to make sure they're not changing the PATH?
[14:07] <Layke> Given a largish, 500Mb text file, what would be the best way to find out if a string exists in it?
[14:07] <iceroot> Seryth: just to see if the update did destroy some packages, can you provide the output of "dpkg -l | grep -v ^ii | grep -v ^rc"
[14:07] <Seryth> iceroot: I can indeed, 2s
[14:07] <iceroot> i really should learn egrep :)
[14:07] <meco> llutz: Ah.. well, anything that will work..!
[14:08] <Seryth> http://paste.ubuntu.com/1026884/ iceroot
[14:08] <iceroot> Seryth: ok everything fine
[14:09] <Seryth> iceroot: Am checking the files now
[14:09] <llutz> Layke: grep. best...idk?!?
[14:10] <meco> llutz: How do I kill that command? I can't find it in either top or ps lx
[14:10] <iceroot> Seryth: can you provide the output of "sudo grep ^PATH /etc/*"
[14:10] <iceroot> Seryth: and  "sudo grep ^PATH /root/.*"
[14:10] <llutz> meco: atq to get the job-nr, atrm <jobnr>
[14:10] <firefoxx> Üdv!
[14:10] <Seryth> http://paste.ubuntu.com/1026891/ iceroot, the first
[14:11] <meco> Appreciate it!
[14:11] <Seryth> iceroot: For the one in /root/, it says it doesn't exist
[14:13] <iceroot> Seryth: hm
[14:13] <Seryth> iceroot: :S
[14:13] <lowstz> :)
[14:14] <iceroot> Seryth: can you run this please "sudo -i; source /etc/environment; echo $PATH"
[14:15] <Seryth> iceroot: I ran it, nothing happened
[14:15] <lokinou> join #ubuntu
[14:15] <iceroot> Seryth: nothing?
[14:15] <lokinou> hello
[14:15] <iceroot> Seryth: the echo was not showing something?
[14:15] <lokinou> am I in the right place to ask for support questions ?
[14:15] <farid> !fr
[14:15] <ardizuri> does anyone know how to check if my wireless card is using n mode?
[14:15] <iceroot> Seryth: you uses "echo $PATH"?
[14:16] <Seryth> http://paste.ubuntu.com/1026906/ iceroot
[14:16] <Seryth> but if I just run $PATH
[14:16] <Seryth> it works
[14:16] <Seryth> I mean
[14:16] <Seryth> iceroot: If I just run echo $PATH, I get the output
[14:17] <iceroot> Seryth: my mistakte, use sudo -i, and after that type the rest
[14:17] <Seryth> iceroot: Sure
[14:17] <ardizuri> how can I enable/disable 802.11n mode?
[14:18] <iceroot> Seryth: you say when you just type "$PATH" its showing you the content of the variable? are you using bash or zsh?
[14:18] <Seryth> http://paste.ubuntu.com/1026912/ iceroot
[14:18] <Seryth> iceroot: I'm using urxvt with bash, not zsh
[14:18] <Seryth> though I do have zsh
[14:18] <iceroot> Seryth: the output looks fine
[14:18] <lokinou> hi, after a kernel update, there is a line added to the grub bootloader menu. During this update there were some packages updated. Using a previous version in the grub bootloader will use old packages or will it use the updated package ?
[14:19] <Seryth> iceroot: just `$PATH` dispalys the path
[14:19] <iceroot> Seryth: can you use in that shell where you typed sudo -i  the apt-get command without sudo?
[14:19] <Seryth> iceroot: I'll try
[14:19] <Seryth> iceroot: Yes!
[14:19] <Seryth> :D
[14:20] <iceroot> Seryth: just "$PATH" should show you a message -bash: /usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games: Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden  (file not found)
[14:20] <Seryth> iceroot: Exactly
[14:20] <iceroot> Seryth: that is something different then "its shwoing the content of path"
[14:20] <Seryth> iceroot: Ah, Okay
[14:21] <Seryth> iceroot: Well, I ran apt-get autremove (no sudo) in the same terminal that I ran sudo -i in, and it worked
[14:21] <iceroot> Seryth: when you exit the shell (with exit) you are again in your user-terminal, can you run the "sudo apt-get .." command there too now?
[14:21] <Seryth> iceroot: Let me see...
[14:21] <Seryth> iceroot: Yes.
[14:22] <iceroot> Seryth: so its working now and the issue is fixed?
[14:22] <Seryth> iceroot: I think it's fixed!
[14:22] <iceroot> Seryth: great
[14:22] <Seryth> iceroot: :D thanks so much! Hehe!
[14:22] <Seryth> iceroot: You don't happen to have any idea about sound stuff do you? (My other question)
[14:22] <iceroot> Seryth: please dont use ther sudo -i in the future, try to use sudo command instead :)
[14:22] <lduros> hello. I've set the left panel (launcher) as auto hide but when I hit the side it doesn't come back. it's a virtualbox which I guess is why
[14:22] <lokinou> Hello, I formulate again: is a kernel upgrade independent from packages or using an older kernel in grub boot will use pre-upgrade packages ?
[14:22] <Seryth> iceroot: Okay. What is the -i flag?
[14:23] <iceroot> Seryth: open a root-shell
[14:23] <lduros> any idea how i can launch the "appearances" window from the terminal?
[14:23] <lduros> so that I can put it back
[14:23] <Seryth> iceroot: Done.
[14:23] <iceroot> Seryth: its always better to just use sudo command then you dont have a root-shell opened all time
[14:23] <Seryth> iceroot: Aah, I'm with you
[14:23] <kurtwp_> lduros: if you have a windows key use that
[14:24] <lduros> kurtwp_: yeh i do, thanks
[14:24] <kurtwp_> lduros: then type display
[14:24] <lduros> kurtwp_: ah got it. thanks :-)
[14:25] <Seryth> iceroot: so, any idea bout why I have no soudn?
[14:26] <lduros> kurtwp_: is there a way in ubuntu 2d to reduce the width of the launcher panel too? :-)
[14:26] <iceroot> Seryth: have a look at the command "alsamixer" if something is muted
[14:26] <lduros> if it's less width I can leave it there at all times :-)
[14:26] <MonkeyDust> lduros  use MyUnity
[14:26] <iceroot> !sound | Seryth
[14:26] <lduros> hmm myUnity
[14:26] <ActionParsnip> lduros: I believe in myunity there is an optin
[14:26] <lduros> never heard of it, i'll look it up
[14:26] <lduros> :-)
[14:26] <Seryth> iceroot: Nothing is muted
[14:27] <Seryth> Also, I don't have the volume applet...it's dissapeared.
[14:27]  * crack05 is away (Gone)
[14:27] <iceroot> Seryth: you did a reboot after your uprgade to 12.04?
[14:27] <Seryth> iceroot: Yes, of course
[14:28] <iceroot> CRACK05: remove that away thing please, noone is interested in that
[14:28] <MonkeyDust> !away > CRACK05
[14:28] <iceroot> Seryth: hm
[14:28] <iceroot> MonkeyDust: didnt know that, thanks
[14:32] <Seryth> iceroot: Nothing at all is muted, all the sliders are up to the "white" level, and I cannot hear anything. Nor can I see the volume control icon
[14:34] <angs> what is the command to delete a directory and subdirectories ?
[14:34] <fidel> angs: in general 'rm' - but use it wisely
[14:34] <m1g45> rm -r
[14:34] <m1g45> rm -r <dir>
[14:34] <angs> thanks
[14:35] <m1g45> careful with that! it doesnt go to the trash :p
[14:37] <Seryth> !rm | angs
[14:38] <MrCoder> I just did an update and it said that Grub had been updated but clicking the "forward" button did nothing unless I checked the box "Do not configure Grub", should I be worried?? Argh :( *bump*
[14:39] <m1g45> @MrCoder sudo grub-install /dev/sdX
[14:39] <m1g45> probably is sda
[14:39] <MrCoder> m1g45, I have a raid array
[14:44] <Jon--> Did Ubuntu 12.04 move back to compiz for gnome-session-fallback? A lot of the colours are bad on my bottom gnome-panel bar, and the top one. Any ideas? I can't seem to alt-right click to get to panel properties either :o
[14:45] <MonkeyDust> Jon--  choose classic-no-effects
[14:48] <boboysdadda> I just shit my brains out and it was glorius. think i saw a little ubuntu logo in there
[14:48] <ikonia> boboysdadda: drop the lagnauge please.
[14:48] <ikonia> lagnauge
[14:48] <boboysdadda> learn to type please
[14:48] <ikonia> whois boboysdadda
[14:48] <boboysdadda> you need a /
[14:49] <ikonia> boboysdadda: do you have a support question / issue ?
[14:49] <boboysdadda> no if i did you would just push a bot at me anyway
[14:49] <ikonia> boboysdadda: ok, then please be quiet until you do
[14:49] <ActionParsnip> boboysdadda: depends on the question to if the bot can give the answer..
[14:50] <Jon--> MonkeyDust, That did the trick. Is this using metacity?
[14:50] <ActionParsnip> Jon--: sure, no effects will use metacity
[14:51] <MonkeyDust> Jon--  type ps -e|grep meta to find out
[14:51] <boboysdadda> ok heres my question. how do i make ncmpcpp autostart in a terminal that is embeded in the desktop?
[14:51] <ikonia> boboysdadda: that's going to be quite tricky to do
[14:51] <MonkeyDust> boboysdadda  we have no bot factoid for that ;)
[14:51] <Jon--> Yep, it's using meta instead of compiz
[14:52] <Jon--> Excellent :) thnx.
[14:52] <ikonia> boboysdadda: you'll have to launch a terminal with the flag to execute a command, eg:ncmpcpp
[14:52] <ActionParsnip> boboysdadda: what is the output of:  lsb_release -sc    please
[14:52] <Vanessa85> Hi, I have a problem with wine. I installed a programs and the audio is very poor, it have a lot of noise. I have installed wine 1.5.5 and i try with wine 1.4 and the problem repeats. HELP!!
[14:52] <boboysdadda> ikonia, but how do you do it so the terminal is embeded into the desktop without borders or a window and doesn't appear in a panel or anything?
[14:52] <ActionParsnip> Vanessa85: have you consulted the appdb?
[14:52] <ikonia> boboysdadda: embeeded, oh wow, I don't know, I don't know if you even can
[14:53] <Vanessa85> ActionParsnip appdb???? what?
[14:53] <ikonia> boboysdadda: you can remove the borders, but it won't embed it into the desktop (that I'm aware of)
[14:53] <ActionParsnip> Vanessa85: seek and ye shall find
[14:53] <boboysdadda> wow this help channel sucks
[14:53] <zykotick9> !appdb | Vanessa85
[14:53] <mneptok> boboysdadda: instead of enbedding a temrinal emulator, why not run the CLI MPD client in another tty?
[14:53] <fidel> Vanessa85: http://appdb.winehq.org/
[14:53] <boboysdadda> just fyi i have already done it. just curious if you guys were able to?
[14:54] <sl0w> i'm being an idiot and can't find a page that I should have book marked... anyone know how to enable extra/ external monitors in Ubuntu 12 (i'm on an HP, trying to use an ACER monitor)
[14:54] <ActionParsnip> boboysdadda: I asked you for an output of a command, so I cannot help you. Which mean's (in your words); you suck
[14:54] <wyll> salut tous le monde y'a des français ici?
[14:54] <MonkeyDust> boboysdadda  for future reference, share with the channel how you did it
[14:54] <mneptok> boboysdadda: stop wasting people's time and effort.
[14:54] <Vanessa85> Oh yeah, thanks guys!!!
[14:54] <boboysdadda> ActionParsnip, i don't have lsb-whatever the hell it is
[14:54] <sl0w> the thing I had to enable started with an "x"... xine, xinefer... something like that
[14:54] <zykotick9> !fr | wyll
[14:54] <ActionParsnip> boboysdadda: then ask that, rather than saying nothing
[14:54] <boboysdadda> sure MonkeyDust one sec i'll fetch a link
[14:54] <mneptok> wyll: Anglais seulement ici, svp. #ubuntu-fr ou #ubuntu-qc pout La langue Propre. ;)
[14:54] <mneptok> *pour
[14:54] <ActionParsnip> boboysdadda: millions don't know the commands and such but are smart enough to ask for clarifiction
[14:57] <Vanessa85> but... my problem is with all aplications...
[14:57] <Ormie> Hello, This problem really conserns me.
[14:57] <Ormie> !pastebin
[14:57] <fidel> Ormie: erm what?
[14:58] <ActionParsnip> Vanessa85: i'd ask in #winehq too
[14:58] <sl0w> does anyone know how to enable external monitors when using Ubuntu 12 (on a laptop)? Mine is not being detected even though the driver should be installed
[14:58] <bkerensa> !justask | Ormie
[14:58] <Ormie> fidel, http://paste.ubuntu.com/1026979/
[14:58] <ActionParsnip> sl0w: what GPU?
[14:59] <Vanessa85> ActionParsnip I asked in this IRC but I don't get an answer
[14:59] <sl0w> nvidia? is that right?
[14:59] <sl0w> ActionParsnip: nvidia?
[14:59] <sl0w> it's an HP laptop
[14:59] <ActionParsnip> sl0w: sure, then use nvidia-settings. I assume you installed the proprietary driver
[14:59] <fidel> sl0w: we cant tell you based on the fact that it is an HP laptop what gfx it uses
[15:00] <sl0w> ActionParsnip: how do I check to make sure? when I did a search earlier it said that ACER monitors were supposed to have the drivers preinstalled with Ubuntu... but I'd like to verify that
[15:00] <fidel> Ormie: have you searched the web for that error message as additional step?
[15:01] <ActionParsnip> sl0w: lspci | grep -i vga
[15:01] <Ormie> fidel, i don't know how to get the right keyword to search.
[15:01] <OerHeks> Ormie, flexnet comes with adobe software. did you install something in wine?
[15:01] <fidel> Ormie: full or parts of the error-message are always a good starter - just as general hint
[15:01] <sl0w> ActionParsnip: 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GT216 [GeForce GT 230M] (rev a2)
[15:02] <sl0w> that sounds right
[15:02] <ActionParsnip> sl0w: ok, did you install the proprietary video driver?
[15:02] <Ormie> OerHeks, I type "sudo apt-get install cheese xchat synaptic gimp geany wine"
[15:02] <sl0w> ActionParsnip: i didn't do any additional installation of drivers
[15:03] <ActionParsnip> sl0w: ok run:  sudo apt-get install nvidia-settings
[15:03] <sl0w> ActionParsnip: 0 upgraded, 0 installed...
[15:04] <Ormie> fidel, oh no. this is serious, i will never restart my computer.
[15:04] <Vanessa85> Hi, I have a problem.. I have installed Ubuntu 12.04 LTS and I run it with the command pci=nomsi... When I suspend my PC, it can't resume... What is the problem??
[15:04] <fidel> sl0w: apt-cache policy PACKAGENAME <- shows you always what version is available and MAYBE already installed on your sys. Helps understanding apt partly i guess
[15:05] <OerHeks> Ormie  or : Adobe Photoshop, CAD/CAM, Rosetta Stone, Matlab ?
[15:05] <Ormie> Oerheks, I only did what I type in terminal.
[15:05] <sl0w> fidel: thanks...
[15:05] <OerHeks> Ormie those windows garbage comes with flexnet, wich overrides the sector 32.
[15:05] <susja> hello folks
[15:05] <fidel> Ormie: he is asking for your general setup
[15:05] <Ormie> windows sucks.
[15:05] <fidel> not for your last step before the error appeared
[15:05] <sl0w> ActionParsnip: so it looks like the newest driver is installed. any other suggestions?
[15:05] <OerHeks> Ormie, so if you didnot install any of those, odd error then?
[15:06] <Ormie> yes.
[15:06] <susja> may I ask you guys one question related to Virtualbox?
[15:06] <Vanessa85> Hi, I have a problem.. I have installed Ubuntu 12.04 LTS and I run it with the command pci=nomsi... When I suspend my PC, it can't resume... What is the problem??
[15:06] <fidel> susja: give it a try - while this channel is more focused on ubuntu itself
[15:06] <fidel> !repeat > Vanessa85
[15:07] <susja> k, let me shoot, I'm using Virtualbox for a while, it works fine except I can't delete any Snapshots, any idea how to workaround it?
[15:08] <fidel> susja: any error output while trying to delete a snapshot?
[15:08] <susja> yes,
[15:08] <susja> let my copy/paste it here, give me a sec
[15:08] <fidel> !paste > susja
[15:09] <fidel> susja: there are several tickets around virtualbox handling this basic problem. - i.e.: https://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/7461
[15:09] <MonkeyDust> susja  look in '/VirtualBox VMs/blah/snapshots
[15:09] <MonkeyDust> susja correction  look in ~/VirtualBox VMs/blah/snapshots
[15:10] <Vanessa85> Hi, I have a problem.. I have installed Ubuntu 12.04 LTS and I run it with the command pci=nomsi... When I suspend my PC, it can't resume... What is the problem??

[15:10] <foolove> what boot parameter needs to  be set
[15:11] <foolove> in order for newer video cards to work on install i get black and white blocks screen stays like this
[15:11] <susja> sorry, never mind my question related to Virtualbox, someone already adviced me
[15:12] <fidel> susja: was manually deleting the snapshots in the filesystem the solution?
[15:12] <susja> no
[15:13] <curiousx> ikonia: ?
[15:13] <susja> he adviced me to do this: You could try cloning the VM - a full (not linked) clone, current state only, would cause the snapshots to be merged in the clone. After testing that the new VM is ok, you could then delete the old VM
[15:13] <eutheria> i have as weird bug where windows keep vanishing off up the top of the screen

[15:14] <ikonia> not a problem
[15:15] <Alan__> when installing ybuntu alongside windows I am shown a bar dividing the available space. I can adjust the space but am i allocating to Ubuntu the left or right of the bar?
[15:15] <fidel> eutheria: so your virtual windows -which runs inside virtualbox on your linux box appearsrandomly?
[15:15] <Ormie> I have problem with GRUB, I'm running ubuntu version 12.04 When I try to do: sudo apt-get install cheese xchat synaptic gimp geany wine I get the following strange output: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1026979/
[15:15] <Ormie> clear?
[15:15] <fidel> !details > eutheria
[15:16] <ikonia> Ormie: you already have flexnet installed on your master boot record
[15:16] <Ormie> ?
[15:16] <fidel> Ormie: read the error-line of the output
[15:16] <ikonia> Ormie: it's a warning
[15:16] <Ormie> this !details really help. :D
[15:17] <MonkeyDust> Ormie  it says "warn: Sector 32 is already in use by FlexNet"
[15:17] <susja> well cloning of VM didn't work either for me :)
[15:17] <Ormie> I don't know much about GRUB stuff.
[15:17] <eutheria> fidel, i am not sure what action i do to cause the problem, it seems to be that an application might move to the very top of the screen, if there is a redraw event it moves to the current desktop
[15:17] <MonkeyDust> susja  try deleting the snapshot manually
[15:18] <fidel> Ormie: grub is your boot-manager - the part straigt at the start of the booting process where you select your os to boot
[15:18] <Ormie> ok
[15:18] <Ormie> it looks like a big problem
[15:18] <fidel> Ormie: grub warns you that another software - flexnet (see wiki for more details) is using sector 32
[15:18] <ikonia> Ormie: why are you installing it ?
[15:19] <cheako> http://pastebin.com/LSvvpVJC I wrote a small shell script that tests for a kernel bug I found in overlayfs.  If you are able to verify for your self that the code is safe and not a trojan I'd like one or two others to give it a go.  http://j.mp/L310Lw
[15:19] <Ormie> ikonia, it somehow comes with wine when I install it from apt-get
[15:19] <fidel> Ormie: what is 'it'
[15:20] <Ormie> it = wine
[15:20] <ikonia> Ormie: grub doesn't come with wine
[15:20] <ikonia> Ormie: you are manually trying to install it
[15:20] <ikonia> Ormie: you are calling out the packages you want to install
[15:20] <Ormie> no way! read carefully.
[15:20] <fidel> Ormie: he is refering to your pasted apt-get install cmd
[15:21] <ikonia> Ormie: remove "grub" from the apt-get install line
[15:21] <Ormie> ikonia, sudo apt-get install cheese xchat synaptic gimp geany wine
[15:21] <Ormie> No GRUB
[15:21] <ikonia> Ormie: it's installing grub because you have done "apt-get install grub"
[15:21] <ikonia> Ormie: you said grub in the previous paste
[15:21] <Pici> ikonia: it sounds like apt is just finishing up some interuppted steps when he does other apt tasks.
[15:21] <Ormie> What?!
[15:21] <ikonia> Pici: possibly, but his other line included grub
[15:21] <fidel> i guess he should update a single apt-get update && apt-get upgrade once - and see what happens then ;)
[15:22] <cheako> Ormie: Try with just "apt-get -f install"
[15:22] <ikonia> I suspect Pici's response is the most realistic
[15:22] <Ormie> ikonia, It came with a package, seriously. I didn't type GRUB.
[15:22] <fidel> +sudo ;)
[15:22] <ikonia> as it won't be able to complete the grub install
[15:22] <Ormie> cheako, what will that do?
[15:22] <cheako> Ormie: Return your system to a sane state.
[15:22] <Pici> ikonia: right
[15:23] <Ormie> cheako, a time portal! cool.
[15:23] <MonkeyDust> Ormie  the -f means fix
[15:23] <cheako> Ormie: RTFM.

[15:25] <Ormie> legoff, use PlayOnLinux
[15:25] <Pici> Ormie: it may have been interrupted by itself because of an error.
[15:25] <Ormie> oh.
[15:25] <Ormie> ok

[15:30] <iceroot> Jonii: smartcard, key stored in a usb-device, finger-print (thinkpads for example)
[15:30] <legoff> so no one here uses wine?

[15:34] <organiks> morning all
[15:35] <docmur> This is a dumb question but if I setup a mail server on my domain so mail.example.com  and I change the DNS record and point the mail exchange to point at mail.example.com then when I ping the server "ping mail.example.com" I should see my network's IP
[15:35] <loki28> any help with terminal emulation problem?
[15:35] <organiks> i have precise installed and trying to get Skype working with pidgin
[15:35] <Jonii> This possibility of using bluetooth device as key seems way too cool
[15:35] <ikonia> docmur: you should see whatever you've set it to resolve to IF you have a host for it
[15:35] <ikonia> docmur: an MX record is not an A record
[15:35] <docmur> so I need the A record for it?
[15:35] <ikonia> docmur: if you don't have an A record an MX will not resolve
[15:35] <docmur> the A record points to the root domain
[15:35] <ActionParsnip> Jonii: it'll drain your battery faster
[15:36] <Tux> yes, an MX must point to an A or CNAME
[15:36] <Qasaur> Hey guys
[15:36] <Tux> (or AAAA)
[15:36] <Qasaur> I quite new to programming and I want to set up an development enviroment on my laptop which is on Ubuntu
[15:36] <docmur> right so the A domain resolves kw-flipcup.ca to my server so the MX domain would reserve mail to mail.kw-flipcup.ca?
[15:36] <Qasaur> Any tips on what I should use?
[15:36] <ikonia> docmur: no
[15:36] <ikonia> docmur: yo uneed to create an A record for the MX host
[15:36] <Tensotu> hello everyone. how do I delete a flder that will not go away with "rm -rf"?
[15:36] <ActionParsnip> !ide | Qasaur
[15:36] <ikonia> Tensotu: which folder
[15:37] <Tensotu> ikonia: it's a windows folder
[15:37] <docmur> oh okay
[15:37] <ActionParsnip> Tensotu: is the NTFS mounted as writable?
[15:37] <ikonia> Tensotu: it's probably mounted read only
[15:37] <Qasaur> So using something like say Geany, it comes with gcc and CMake included?
[15:37] <Qasaur> or do I have to set those up first?
[15:38] <Tensotu> ikonia, ActionParsnip: MOST of the files and folders are gone. I want to cleanup the rest of it (it IS writable)
[15:38] <ActionParsnip> Qasaur: you can install them if they aren't
[15:38] <fidel> Tensotu: any error output while trying to delete them?
[15:38] <Tensotu> fidel: I think it was "operation not supported"
[15:38] <Tensotu> fidel: I can check again
[15:38] <fidel> could you double-check that?
[15:39] <docmur> so just to double check if the A record "@ xx.xx.xx.xx"  points my root domain example.com then do I put for "mail.example.com xx.xx.xx.xx" to resolve the mail domain? in the A record?
[15:39] <fidel> yep
[15:39] <MonkeyDu1t> Tensotu  boot a live cd / usb and delete the folder from there
[15:39] <Tensotu> MonkeyDu1t: IAM on a live CD
[15:39] <legoff> no one helped me in #winehq
[15:39] <Tensotu> legoff: what's the problem?
[15:39] <legoff> i really need to know how to use wine
[15:40] <Tensotu> legofftreat it like windows, that's basically what it is
[15:40] <Tensotu> legoff: treat it like windows, that's basically what it is
[15:40] <MonkeyDust> legoff  install it, you can then run windows apps on your ubuntu
[15:40] <docmur> oh I think I figured it out :-)
[15:40] <legoff> by clicking the .exe files?
[15:40] <Tensotu> legoff: treat it EXACTLY like windows, after it's installed
[15:40] <aleminio> hey guys, how can i check in ubuntu if it installed any graphic drivers?

[15:45] <organiks> could someone help with getting skype to work with pidgin plz?
[15:45] <aartist> How do I use multisystem?
[15:45] <Tensotu> ikonia, ActionParsnip:exact input/output > sudo rm -rf ~/win/Windows.old >  "Unable to delete <dir>: Operation not supported"
[15:46] <aartist> I cannot download multisystems.
[15:46] <fidel> Tensotu: i only found somepretty old forum post speculating about the used ntfs-3g version ... not that helpful i guess
[15:46] <fidel> never had that issue myself
[15:46] <MonkeyDust> aartist  it's a 3rd party app http://www.pendrivelinux.com/multiboot-create-a-multiboot-usb-from-linux/
[15:46] <sl0w> will using Xinerama allow my HP laptop (nvidia card) to use an external monitor in Ubuntu 12?
[15:46] <Tensotu> fidel: yea, and everything else went away
[15:46] <fidel> aartist: what do you mean by multisystems?
[15:46] <Tensotu> fidel: gonana try a remount
[15:47] <fidel> Tensotu: the bit i found was around:
[15:47] <fidel> Reparse points are not fully supported in the current version of the NTFS-3G driver
[15:47] <fidel> but thatsfrom 2009
[15:47] <ActionParsnip> sl0w: its 12.04, not 12 ;)
[15:47] <aartist> fidel: allows multiboot : found here: http://www.pendrivelinux.com/multiboot-create-a-multiboot-usb-from-linux/
[15:48] <sl0w> ActionParsnip: sorry, 12.04 :P :)
[15:48] <fidel> aartist: try to describe the issue in detail you have. just mentioning doesnt work usuallydoesnt help that much
[15:49] <fidel> or is the issue really downloading the multisystem thing itself? if so - from what source?
[15:50] <aleminio> guys, any ideas what i can do if the colors in my ubuntu are too bright? i'm using intel graphics and it seems that the drivers are installed but still those colors are giving me a headache as if i was using windows without any drivers, any suggestions?
[15:50] <ActionParsnip> aleminio: if you run:  sudo lshw -C display     do you see the work "unclaimed" in caps?
[15:50] <marco_mesquita_> aleminio: Is the resolution of your monitor right?
[15:51] <ActionParsnip> s/work/word
[15:51] <Tensotu> fidel: I've never had trouble removing folders with spaces
[15:51] <aleminio> the resolution is right
[15:51] <aartist> fidel:Thank you. Issue 1.  I have broken windows installation, with broken battery power on laptop.  So, I am trying to run ubuntu from DVD. Now whenever I have disconnect the power cable, computer restarts with 'Try Ubuntu'. In this case, how I can install software (such as flash plugin) and retain it?  Bios cannot recognize my laptop harddisk.  Alternately, I have portable hard-disk, if that helps.
[15:52] <XiRoN> How do I kill an unkillable proccess?
[15:52] <LoboX> im having a small issue, when i try to change my DHCP settings to STATIC i change my interfaces file and when i restart /etc/init.d/networking something happens in my ubuntu GUI on the network side for some reason now it says "wired network - device not managed"
[15:52] <ActionParsnip> aleminio: what does the command I gave output? Does it say unclaimed?
[15:52] <aleminio> one sec, i'm running it
[15:52] <Tensotu> aartist: are you sure the wndows file system isn't corrupted?
[15:52] <ActionParsnip> LoboX: yes, you used the interfaces file so network manager can't touch it
[15:52] <x_or> I just installed Japanese and Portuguese support and now when I try to run certain programs (like mosh) I get a complaint saying the local environment language settings are incorrect.
[15:53] <x_or> I ran local-gen en_US.UTF-8 but now what?
[15:53] <aleminio> i checked it earlier, it says driver = l915
[15:53] <LoboX> ActionParsnip ok so how can i fix it?
[15:53] <fidel> aartist: so you are running a live cd right now - and wantto end up with what kind of setup?
[15:53] <ActionParsnip> LoboX: you can set the interface to static in network manager but you will need to undo the changes in the interfaces file and restart the networking service
[15:53] <aartist> Tensotu: Bios cannot not recognize it and when I start computer (without Ubuntu DVD) it says Operating system cannot be found.
[15:53] <LoboX> ok now i understand what happens thanks for that info ActionParsnip
[15:53] <Jonii> Hey, how does locking screen work?
[15:53] <aartist> fidel: Yes.
[15:53] <Tensotu> aartist: you may need to reboot alot, but evertually ubuntu will see it
[15:53] <MonkeyDust> Jonii  ctrl-L
[15:53] <XiRoN> Does anyone know how to kill an unkillable process?
[15:54] <LoboX> ok network manager is the GUI
[15:54] <x_or> XiRoN:  kill -9 ?
[15:54] <XiRoN> THANKS
[15:54] <aartist> fidel: I like to get flash plugin, chromium-browser etc..
[15:54] <Jonii> I tried setting up blueproximity, it tries to lock screen with xscreensaver-command -l or gnome-screensaver-command -l, neither fo thhem work
[15:54] <XiRoN> I couldnt rmemeber what it was
[15:54] <fidel> aartist: no the first question is- do you plan to install any os - or just continue working with thelive-cd only?
[15:54] <Tensotu> aartist: check the partion editor and if it's black you're SOL you'll ahve to reformat. if it vanishes trying to reformat you need a new hard drive
[15:54] <Jonii> I don'þ understand why it's always about screensavers
[15:54] <MonkeyDust> Jonii  ctrl-alt L (correction)
[15:55] <marco_mesquita_> aleminio: does the problem can be seen in a screenshot?
[15:55] <Jonii> Anyway, is there a command that locks/unlocks screen?
[15:55] <Jonii> blueproximity used screensavers with parameters
[15:56] <aartist> fidel: I like to install software and retain it.. whichever way I can do it.
[15:56] <sl0w> ActionParsnip:  so this is interesting... when I installed disper, and ran the disper -l command, my external monitor is listed
[15:56] <sl0w> any idea how to enable it in nvidia's x server?
[15:56] <aleminio> marco, i doubt it, it's just that i'm used to see images in a certain way and now they are way too bright, like a huge difference between this and any other computer or even on windows that i'm running on the same comp
[15:56] <ActionParsnip> LoboX: if you want to use the interfaces file and manage addressing there you can actually remove network manager to make the OS sleeker
[15:56] <fidel> aartist: any chance you try to answer the question? ;)
[15:57] <yggdrasil> can somone tell me how i can do a wallpaper slideshow with my own pictueres?
[15:57] <ActionParsnip> yggdrasil: what is the output of: lsb_release -sc
[15:57] <MonkeyDust> yggdrasil  you need to create an xml file
[15:57] <aartist> fidel: I like to install software and retain it.. whichever way I can do it.  Let it be with LiveCD or with Portable Hard-disk.. what should i do?
[15:57] <aleminio> I can live with the colors but it also gives a big headache, it doesn't suppose to be that way
[15:57] <yggdrasil> ActionParsnip: precise
[15:58] <MonkeyDust> yggdrasil  http://www.webupd8.org/2010/02/easily-create-xml-wallpapers-with-xml.html
[15:58] <sl0w> hrmmm...
[15:58] <fidel> aartist: personaly i would try to fix the real issue - replace the battery - check if i can access the harddrive and install any OS i want to use. then install additional software
[15:58] <aartist> Tensotu: which partition editor, you are talking about?
[15:58] <fidel> anything else sounds like a temporary hack
[15:58] <LoboX> ActionParsnip i got it working using the interfaces file better, i just want to get used of the ubuntu commands rather then the GUI for now, but got it working thanks man >:)
[15:58] <Tensotu> aartist: the one in applications > system
[15:59] <Jonii> Anyway, does anyone know anything about this?
[15:59] <x_or> Can someone tell me how to adjust the locale on my terminal so I can use a program which requires UTF-8 apparently?  Even troubleshooting would be helpful.
[15:59] <LoboX> i just fix the resolv file, adding my dns
[15:59] <Tensotu> fidel: personally I think aartist should ceck his/her hard drive first
[15:59] <wooy> hi, any good bash tutorial you would recommend? thx
[15:59] <LoboX> forgot about that thanks ActionParsnip
[15:59] <Jonii> Why it's always the screensaver? How to lock screen from command line? why does xscreensaver say that no screensaver is running, when the command is supposed to lock the screen?
[15:59] <fidel> Tensotu: hd & battery yes ;)
[15:59] <yggdrasil> MonkeyDust: thanks
[16:00] <fidel> both should be checked at the end before software comes to play
[16:00] <Tensotu> fidel: hard drive is definatly #1 priority though
[16:00] <aartist> fidel: Thanks.. I can certainly take that route.
[16:00] <sl0w> i'm cloning my display from my laptop to an external monitor. However, when I close the lid to my laptop, it goes in to "suspend" even though I have the "do nothing" option chosen in the Power settings. Ideas?
[16:00] <fidel> aartist: so check if you can access your harddrive. then check if you want to restoresomething from it
[16:00] <fidel> aartist: then care about battery - if possible
[16:01] <ActionParsnip> LoboX: np dude, remember if you use static IP you need to set DNS in /etc/resolv.conf
[16:01] <fidel> aartist: andthen consider installing an os - or repair the existing one
[16:01] <ActionParsnip> yggdrasil: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2011/06/wallpaper-slideshow-app-for-gnome-3
[16:01] <fidel> aartist: just continue asking if you have issues with those single steps
[16:01] <LoboX> ActionParsnip yes forgot about that, i did it and now i have internet, trying to setup a dhcp server
[16:02] <LoboX> to make a squid server with dnasguardian
[16:02] <HoldenC> does anyone have firefox 13 + flash <IP_ADDRESS> working?
[16:02] <ActionParsnip> LoboX: great way to learn stuff :)
[16:02] <LoboX> ohh yeah
[16:02] <sl0w> does anyone know what setting to change so that my display is automatically cloned to an external monitor at start up?
[16:02] <calmpitbull> hello i need a help. i have deleted all my icons and themes exept one i wanna use. So i deleted login icons and theme, where can i find login screen in termnial so i can link it to what i wanna
[16:03] <ActionParsnip> sl0w: if you use nvidia-settings you can config the disaply there
[16:03] <sl0w> ActionParsnip: yes, but how do I do that?
[16:04] <ActionParsnip> sl0w: press ALT+F2 and run the command...
[16:04] <veryhappy> hey guys i got a question about libraries
[16:04] <sl0w> ActionParsnip: hmmm
[16:04] <sl0w> one sec
[16:04] <veryhappy> i wanted to install mysql-workbench but i can't because it says libmysqlclient16 is missing, how do i install this dependency?
[16:04] <LoboX> ActionParsnip onething im checking out that ubuntu have changed a couple of commands, when i try to restart a service i used to do /etc/init.d/networking now is telling me to use service and start, what is the best way to restart a service?
[16:05] <veryhappy> help is appreciated, thank you
[16:05] <LoboX> sudo service networking stop|start?
[16:05] <schnuffle> LoboX:  ubuntu switched to upstart which uses the command service
[16:05] <schnuffle> LoboX: exactly
[16:06] <schnuffle> veryhappy: have you searched if theres a libmysqlclient16 in the repos?
[16:06] <LoboX> ohh ok schnuffle thanks
[16:06] <Jonii> Hey, anyone know what this command is supposed to do? "gnome-screensaver-command -p"
[16:07] <schnuffle> LoboX: there's still the old sysv init for backward compability
[16:07] <LoboX> ohh ok
[16:08] <veryhappy> schnuffle: i did. nothing was displayed
[16:08] <aartist> fidel: great. thank you.
[16:08] <schnuffle> Jonii: http://linux.die.net/man/1/gnome-screensaver-command it pokes the scrensaver to emultae user acitivity
[16:08] <ActionParsnip> LoboX: sudo server networking restart
[16:08] <veryhappy> schnuffle: that would be apt-cache search libmysqlclient16 i suppose?
[16:09] <LoboX> ahhh server ohh ok, thanks ActionParsnip
[16:10] <usr13> Firefox only shows blank spot where a flash video should be. What is wrong?
[16:10] <schnuffle> veryhappy: yes, but I just don't have a ubuntu to check
[16:10] <schnuffle> usr13: flashblock plugin or missing flash plugin?
[16:11] <Xeneth> LoboX: It's "sudo service networking restart"
[16:11] <Jonii> schnuffle: is there a command that replaced it or something? when I try gnome-screensaver-command --poke or -p, it says it's unknown option
[16:11] <docmur> if people can see this http://imageshack.us/f/835/selection002e.png/  do I have those set correctly?  There my DNS records
[16:11] <sl0w> ActionParsnip: ok. so that works... but I still can't get my laptop to stop "suspending" whenever I close the lid. Even though i've changed the settings in the "Power" management settings
[16:11] <ActionParsnip> usr13: can you pastebin the output of:  lsb_release -a; uname -a; dpkg -l | egrep 'flash|gnash|swf|spark'
[16:12] <schnuffle> Jonii: just check with "man gnome-screensaver-command"
[16:12] <ActionParsnip> sl0w: i'm not great with suspend, not worth it imho
[16:12] <sl0w> ActionParsnip: ?
[16:12] <Jonii> schnuffle: there doesn't seem to be anythin
[16:12] <HoldenC> usr13,  firefox 13 + flash <IP_ADDRESS>?
[16:12] <sl0w> i'm just trying to get it so that i can close the lid without locking my screen
[16:12] <schnuffle> Jonii: you mean the program is not installed?
[16:12] <valkar> how can I diisable dash files finder on unity?
[16:12] <chand> #itfrogs
[16:12] <chand> oops
[16:13] <Jonii> schnuffle: i mean that there are only few options listed in that man file, none of them are what I wanted
[16:13] <Xeneth> LoboX: Though when I check it, it only has start/stop option.  :(  So "restart" may not be an option
[16:13] <schnuffle> Jonii: I'm no gnome expert but it could be due to ubuntu switching to unity
[16:14] <LoboX> Xeneth yes i know, but you can still do a restart doing it the normal way
[16:14] <schnuffle> Xeneth: Thats a thing I already realized as well
[16:14] <Xeneth> LOL  can alway's reboot.
[16:15] <veryhappy> well what can i do guys?
[16:15] <schnuffle> Xeneth: Before sysv init, Now sysv init, upstart and systemd. I thougt the idea was to ease things :)
[16:15] <schnuffle> veryhappy: the app you want to install, where does it come from?
[16:16] <veryhappy> schnuffle: do you mean the vendor?
[16:17] <schnuffle> veryhappy: yes, I found  docs telling me that workbench should be supported in 10.04 and 12.04
[16:18] <SuddenlyTophats> Hi #ubuntu, I'm having an issue with my video card, namely that the screen goes blank often unless nomodeset is set.
[16:18] <SuddenlyTophats> I'm using an asus zenbook with some sort of onboard intel (i915)
[16:18] <ActionParsnip> valkar: I can help. Are you around?
[16:18] <h00k> SuddenlyTophats: which of the ZenBooks? My wife has one.
[16:18] <SuddenlyTophats> tried the kernel available at http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/drm-intel-experimental/2012-06-05-quantal/ hoping for a fix but no luck.
[16:18] <SuddenlyTophats> h00k, ux21e I think
[16:19] <h00k> SuddenlyTophats: she has the 13 inch, is that the new Ivy-Bridge one, or prior to?
[16:19] <SuddenlyTophats> I can get the screen to work if I run xset dpms off; xset dpms on
[16:19] <SuddenlyTophats> which is the really weird one
[16:19] <sl0w> ok. had to disable "require password when waking from suspend"... although i still had to type it in
[16:19] <sl0w> weird
[16:19] <veryhappy> schnuffle: it is supported i guess, it just says: depency not complied libmysqlclient16 (>= 5.1.21-1)
[16:19] <SuddenlyTophats> h00k, I'm not sure actually, been a while since I looked at this box
[16:19] <schnuffle> veryhappy: precise has the workbench in the universe repo. is the universe repo active?
[16:19] <h00k> SuddenlyTophats: okay, so it's older. Hang a sec.
[16:19] <K1rk> Anyone ever do bonded interfaces on Ubuntu?
[16:20] <SuddenlyTophats> h00k, yeah it is, thanks!
[16:20] <veryhappy> schnuffle: where can i check that? i have no synaptic installed
[16:21] <h00k> SuddenlyTophats: so, I don't think it'd be...well, look here at the Power Saving Optimizations (or all of it, rather), maybe this will help: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AsusZenbook
[16:21] <veryhappy> schnuffle: i'm sorry, i have forgotten that i have to go for now
[16:21] <schnuffle> veryhappy: open /etc/apt/sources.list and check /etc/apt/sources.list.d
[16:21] <veryhappy> ok i come back later
[16:21] <veryhappy> and i'll check it out
[16:21] <schnuffle> as you want
[16:21] <veryhappy> thank you schnuffle
[16:21] <v3n0x> K1rk: Yeah, works well with torrents but not http/ftp
[16:22] <SuddenlyTophats> h00k, yeah I followed that guide when I set it up. I've messed a bit with the powersaving options but not a lot
[16:22] <SuddenlyTophats> can always tweak
[16:22] <K1rk> v3n0x, I'm trying to set it up on our imaging clonezilla server running Ubuntu 10.04 LTS
[16:22] <SuddenlyTophats> or play with kernel params or something
[16:22] <K1rk> v3n0x, after bonding eth0, eth1, eth2, and eth3 - ethtool reports link not detected on 1,2,3 and only on 0.  0 is now negotiated at 100Mbps for some reason so I have LESS bandwidth than I did before.
[16:22] <K1rk> v3n0x, I am not sure what I'm doing wrong.
[16:22] <h00k> SuddenlyTophats: check with those, I don't know exactly what the i915.semaphores=1 does, but may help?
[16:23] <SuddenlyTophats> it's to the point where I boot it, get a blank screen, log in blind and spam my keyboard shortcut (that resets dpms) until my desktop shows up.
[16:23] <SuddenlyTophats> it's almost entertaining :D
[16:23] <K1rk> v3n0x, I was attempting mode 6, but I do have a switch I could configure for mode 4 if necessary.
[16:23] <SuddenlyTophats> h00k, I'll play with it :)
[16:23] <h00k> SuddenlyTophats: in your /etc/default/grub
[16:23] <h00k> SuddenlyTophats: huh, interesting.
[16:24] <SuddenlyTophats> h00k, I found a couple posts from people with the same issue, but not much in the way of solutions :s
[16:24] <h00k> SuddenlyTophats: on the forums? can I see the link?
[16:24] <SuddenlyTophats> h00k, I'll see what I can find, was on a different install when I was searching.
[16:25] <bob__> Hello guys!
[16:25] <h00k> SuddenlyTophats: I can confirm that on my Wife's ux31e (or whatever the 13" is), she only has the weird Sentelic touchpad issue. I wonder why it's different.
[16:25] <h00k> SuddenlyTophats: on 12.04 that is
[16:25] <SuddenlyTophats> h00k, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-intel/+bug/991902
[16:25] <SuddenlyTophats> h00k, that's one of the links
[16:26] <SuddenlyTophats> h00k, I should have bought the larger model :D
[16:26] <ActionParsnip> SuddenlyTophats: does the system have a make / model?
[16:26] <h00k> ActionParsnip: it's a ZenBook UX21e
[16:26] <bob__> I have a hp laserjet cp1215 which i don't think has a drive for Linux, is there a way to work with this printer inside Linux?
[16:26] <h00k> (ASUS)
[16:26] <SuddenlyTophats> ActionParsnip, yeah, the mdoel is ux21e iirc
[16:27] <adahlin> I'm running ntp on an ubuntu server and have servers set, but the time is still way off... thoughts?
[16:27] <ActionParsnip> bob__: try grabbing the latest HPLIP from the HPLIP site
[16:27] <ActionParsnip> adahlin: is the hardware clock right?
[16:28] <adahlin> ActionParsnip, not sure, how do i check.. the output of "date" is like 15 min off
[16:28] <schnuffle> bob__:  the cp1215 should be supported
[16:28] <SuddenlyTophats> h00k, Be back in a second, I should get some breakfast. Thanks for the assistance!
[16:28] <h00k> SuddenlyTophats: Good luck :s sorry I couldn't be of more immediate help This bug report looks like it's on the right track
[16:28] <ActionParsnip> SuddenlyTophats: do you have the latest BIOS?
[16:29] <bourke> is there a way to reinit gnome-keyring without having to logout/login again?
[16:29] <K1rk> So somehow I messed up bonding my interfaces.  Here's my /etc/network/interfaces file - any idea what I've done wrong?
[16:29] <K1rk> http://gopaste.it/pnw9
[16:29] <ActionParsnip> adahlin: hwclock --show
[16:29] <schnuffle> bob__: or install lartest hplip http://hplipopensource.com/hplip-web/install/install/index.html
[16:29] <samartha> how to use outlook in pinguy os?
[16:29] <ActionParsnip> adahlin: may need sudo
[16:29] <ActionParsnip> samartha: pinguy isn't supported here
[16:29] <samartha> ok...thanks
[16:29] <schnuffle> samartha: and outlook won't run under any linux
[16:29] <adahlin> ActionParsnip, "Wed 06 Jun 2012 04:32:12 PM PDT  -0.884210 seconds" date shows "Wed Jun  6 09:29:53 PDT 2012"
[16:30] <bourke> it will with crossover
[16:30] <ActionParsnip> adahlin: is that accurrate?
[16:30] <samartha> in which its suppot
[16:30] <adahlin> nope, it's 9:30am PDT
[16:30] <schnuffle> bourke: does it only run or is it usable?
[16:30] <ActionParsnip> adahlin: probably why then, your hardware  clock in BIOS is out
[16:30] <samartha> i mean exchange server to connect from linux
[16:30] <adahlin> ActionParsnip, yikes, after running hwclock, the date seems to have updated...
[16:31] <bourke> schnuffle: afaik it's pretty good
[16:31] <stueng> whats the ubuntu chit chat channel ?
[16:31] <ActionParsnip> samartha: #pinguyos

[16:32] <MonkeyDust> stueng  #ubuntu-offtopic
[16:32] <Relondo> So, I'm having trouble installing Ubuntu on my Toshiba Satellite L-775D
[16:32] <ActionParsnip> SuddenlyTophats: http://drivers.softpedia.com/get/BIOS/Asus/Asus-Zenbook-UX21E-Bios-207.shtml
[16:32] <ActionParsnip> SuddenlyTophats: mentions black screening...
[16:33] <Relondo> Ubuntu loads up and I can hear it starting, but then it  black screens.
[16:33] <toafan_> I want to bind a global hotkey to rhythmbox rating_up/rating_down
[16:33] <mralberto> Is there any easy way to run a program without any networking access?
[16:33] <toafan_> but first I need a plugin that offers that
[16:33] <Relondo> SuddenlyTophats, was that for me?
[16:33] <toafan_> anyone know of one?
[16:33] <ActionParsnip> Relondo: what video chip do you use?
[16:34] <ActionParsnip> mralberto: sure, super tux racer doesn't need any network access at all
[16:34] <toafan_> mralberto: commandline?  depends what program
[16:34] <ActionParsnip> mralberto: neither does gedit...
[16:34] <sacarlson> mralberto: do you mean install a program without networking?  if so yes
[16:34] <Relondo> My video card is an AMD Radeon 6520G. I don't know what a video chip is.
[16:34] <scottdeagan> Relondo - when it black screens, can you CTRL + ALT + F1 (does that display a terminal window)?
[16:34] <mralberto> ActionParsnip, I mean prevent an program/command from having networking access.
[16:34] <ActionParsnip> Relondo: you just named the chip...not the card :)
[16:34] <ActionParsnip> Relondo: try the boot option: nomodeset
[16:34] <mralberto> I was thinking proxychains, but that has to be configured globally each time.
[16:35] <Relondo> Nomodeset doesn't work.
[16:35] <Relondo> And yes, I can Ctrl + Alt + F1
[16:35] <toafan_> mralberto: so... sounds like you want a per-applicationn firewall?
[16:35] <Relondo> Wait, so what's the graphics card, then?
[16:35] <mralberto> toafan_, yes, that sounds right.
[16:35] <schnuffle> Relondo: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1962070
[16:36] <ActionParsnip> mralberto: you can use iptables to block the application
[16:36] <ActionParsnip> Relondo: is it the install media or an installed OS?
[16:36] <akamikeym> Hi, I just had an Update Manager update freeze when it was saying something about updating grub. Is there anything that I can do to check for errors introduced? I've run update-grub just in case
[16:36] <scottdeagan> Relondo - if you CTRL + ALT + F1 and it displays a TTY, then you need to re-install your graphics driver.
[16:36] <schnuffle> akamikeym: restart the update and it should finish
[16:36] <Relondo> ActionParsnip: Not sure what you mean.
[16:36] <Relondo> Scottdeagan: TTY?
[16:37] <scottdeagan> Relondo - a terminal.
[16:37] <ActionParsnip> Relondo: the card is the thing that the chip is on, in linux it is moot, you are driving the chip. So it doesn't matter if its a 2Gb card from gigabyte or a 1Gb card from MSI, the chip is all we are interested in
[16:37] <scottdeagan> Relondo - does it display a terminal asking you for your login?
[16:37] <ActionParsnip> Relondo: is the OS booting from the CD or is it on your hard drive?
[16:37] <Relondo> Scottdeagan: No
[16:38] <akamikeym> schnuffle, didn't show anything. Although I did think it was near the and anyway.
[16:38] <scottdeagan> Relondo - I thought you said earlier that you could CTRL + ALT + F1.
[16:38] <Relondo> ActionParsnip: I have tried Wubi, CD, and USB.
[16:38] <Relondo> Scottdeagan: I can. But I don't get a login. Just the terminal.
[16:38] <scottdeagan> What does the terminal display?
[16:39] <ActionParsnip> Relondo: try the safemodevga option in the initial boot screen
[16:39] <ActionParsnip> !bootoptions | Relondo
[16:39] <mralberto> ActionParsnip, that would work, but it needs to be configured globally similar to proxychains.  I was hoping there was a command I could use like "no-network wget http://example.com/" that blocks all network access for the child program (like proxychains with LD_PRELOAD).
[16:39] <SuddenlyTophats> ActionParsnip, I do have the latest bios (211 I think?)
[16:39] <Relondo> Scottdeagan: It's been a while since I actually booted it up. We are talking command line, I thought.
[16:40] <toafan_> mralberto: so... you want to block by instance, not by program (program name)?
[16:40] <scottdeagan> Relondo: yes, that's exactly what I mean :)
[16:40] <Relondo> ActionParsnip: Safemodevga doesn't work either.
[16:40] <Relondo> Scottdeagan: Yeah, all I have is the command line.
[16:40] <scottdeagan> Relondo: in your position, I would download the proprietary AMD Catalyst driver from the terminal and install the driver again.
[16:40] <toafan_> mralberto: couldn't you tweak iptables on-the-fly?
[16:41] <scottdeagan> Relondo: I'm not sure about Radeon, but if it's the AMD Catalyst driver you require, then you can download it from the terminal using: wget http://www2.ati.com/drivers/linux/amd-driver-installer-12-4-x86.x86_64.run
[16:41] <Relondo> Scottdeagan: So what is the actual problem here? I read in a few places that some Toshiba hardware is incompatible with Ubuntu, period.
[16:41] <ubuntu_64bit>  am asking about tv manager add on  will it be possible to stream video over Internet like cnn
[16:41] <toafan_> mralberto: you could check your programs for 'no-network' options
[16:41] <ubuntu_64bit>  am asking about tv manager add on  will it be possible to stream video over Internet like cnn
[16:41] <scottdeagan> Relondo - Oh... Not sure about that, I don't have a Toshiba.
[16:42] <ceed^> Are there any alternative kernel ppa's available for Ubuntu? For Debian there's the Liquorix kernels, but they do not work well with Ubuntu so I wondered if there are PPAs available with newer optimized kernels for Ubunttu?
[16:42] <mralberto> toafan_, yeah, by instance ideally (although by name would still be doable).  I guess I could make a script that would block programname's access in iptables, run it, and after that re-enable it.
[16:42] <scottdeagan> Relondo: the step I would take is installation of the Catalyst drivers.
[16:42] <schnuffle> mralberto: iptables has --pid-owner/--gid-owner, so could could block a user and start the app under that user
[16:42] <toafan_> mralberto: although I doubt wget would work without network
[16:43] <Relondo> Scottdeagan: The one that ActionParsnip just linked me to?
[16:43] <mralberto> schnuffle, that might be useful actually.
[16:43] <mralberto> toafan_, wget was just an example.  Some apps try to download things that they don't really need to download.
[16:43] <scottdeagan> Relondo: I cannot see what he linked you to.
[16:43] <schnuffle> mralberto:  would be something like: iptables -A OUTPUT -o ethX -m owner --uid-owner {USERNAME} -j REJECT
[16:43] <Relondo> Scottdeagan: Wait, that was you. Sorry, lol.
[16:44] <scottdeagan> :)
[16:44] <scottdeagan> Relondo: here: http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/linux/Pages/radeon_linux.aspx
[16:44] <scottdeagan> Relondo: to get the driver from the terminal, use: wget http://www2.ati.com/drivers/linux/amd-driver-installer-12-4-x86.x86_64.run
[16:45] <Relondo> Scottdeagan: So do I need both of those?
[16:45] <mralberto> schnuffle, what would I use to execute the program as another user from bash?
[16:45] <Jon--> I'd like to make gnome-panel completely transparent (along with the menu + indicator apps) in gnome-session-fallback on Ubuntu 12.04. I found a guide online about editing themes, but it's outdated and I can't find anything newer. Any ideas?
[16:45] <scottdeagan> Relondo: no, you just need to "wget" it.
[16:45] <schnuffle> mralberto: su - <user> -c "<command>"
[16:45] <toafan_> rhythembox rating_up/rating_down plugin, anyone heard of one?
[16:45] <LoboX> onething i know this is a ubuntu channel i have one quick question about asterisk or elastix, im trying i dont know a name of something i want to do i just want to know the name to search on how to do it anybody here with knowledge on asterisk or elastix?
[16:45] <scottdeagan> Relondo: then you need to make is executable using: chmod u+x ./amd-driver-installer-12-4-x86.x86_64.run
[16:45] <toafan_> mralberto: sudo <user> should work IIRC
[16:46] <schnuffle> LoboX: yes
[16:46] <scottdeagan> Relondo: then you need to run it using: sudo ./amd-driver-installer-12-4-x86.x86_64.run
[16:46] <Relondo> Scottdeagan: You just gave me a link to a website, so can I download that instead?
[16:46] <toafan_> mralberto: or rather, more like schnuffle's version but with sudo
[16:46] <scottdeagan> Relondo: (then just follow the onscreen instructions)
[16:46] <LoboX> schnuffle ok what i want to do is pick a phone and say something and everybody in everyroom listen to what i say from my phone
[16:46] <scottdeagan> Relondo - yes, but I thought you don't have a GUI?
[16:47] <LoboX> what to do call that on asteriosk and elastix
[16:47] <Relondo> Scottdeagan: I thought you were saying I could install from Windows.
[16:47] <mralberto> schnuffle, that sounds like one option.  It's still less convenient than I would like, but it might be the best I can get.
[16:47] <schnuffle> LoboX:  so you mean you want to create a conference room?
[16:47] <scottdeagan> Relondo - of, you are trying to run Ubuntu in a Virtual Machine?
[16:47] <mralberto> I wonder if netcat can do what I want.
[16:47] <trism> Jon--: probably going to be difficult until bug 966697 is fixed
[16:47] <Relondo> Scottdeagan: (I'm currently on the computer I want Ubuntu on. It's not broken; just the Ubuntu is.)
[16:47] <schnuffle> mralberto: it's the only iea I got from your question, mayne there're better solutions
[16:47] <LoboX> yes you can say that, a conference to all offices
[16:48] <sacarlson> mralberto: su username ;  application_name
[16:48] <LoboX> thats what i need to search then conference
[16:48] <jkbe> hi all
[16:48] <scottdeagan> Relondo: how are you trying to install/use Ubuntu? Dual-boot?
[16:48] <schnuffle> LoboX: yep
[16:48] <jkbe> i have a question:
[16:48] <LoboX> thanks schnuffle
[16:48] <Relondo> Scottdeagan: No, but I thought this was a driver for my card, not my OS, so I could download and install it in Windows.
[16:48] <schnuffle> LoboX: good luck
[16:48] <Relondo> Scottdeagan: Yes.
[16:49] <scottdeagan> Relondo - I was of the understanding that you were trying to run Ubuntu natively (a native install - as in not within a virtual machine, like a VirtualBox guest or something).
[16:49] <schnuffle> LoboX: another thing is direct access which means you pick your phone type a key and then everybody gets your message. Just don't get the correct name
[16:49] <jkbe> im installing ubuntu 12.04 on my intel core i7 3930k/ asus p9x79 deluxe desktop and i have a problem with the mouse, i can move it but it looks like i cant move certain windows or push certain buttons...
[16:49] <Relondo> Scottdeagan: I am trying to set up dual-boot, or even Wubi, if necessary, though I'd like to avoid that.
[16:50] <scottdeagan> Relondo: but you must have already installed Ubuntu, right?
[16:50] <scottdeagan> Relondo: you get the terminal, yeah?
[16:50] <schnuffle> scottdeagan: go scotty go :)
[16:50] <scar2> my windows pc crapped out, not sure if the hd is accesible-- is it hard to boot from live cd then mount the drive so i can use internet to upload the very few files i need?
[16:50] <schnuffle> scar2: its easy
[16:51] <Relondo> Scottdeagan: I uninstalled after I couldn't get it working. I just want to know if I can install that driver from inside Windows 7, or if I need to do it through the terminal.
[16:51] <scar2> schnuffle: i figured so. last time i ddi that was in 2006
[16:51] <scar2> maybe 07
[16:51] <scar2> schnuffle: is there an article u recommend? if not ill just googlelol
[16:51] <scottdeagan> Relondo: if this is the case: 1. Boot into Ubuntu, 2. ALT + CTRL + F1 to get a terminal up, 3. "wget" the Catalyst driver, 4. "chmod u+x" the driver, 5. Run the driver, 6. Follow instructions.
[16:51] <LoboX> schnuffle ohhh probably thats the one i need
[16:51] <schnuffle> scar2: it's much easier then in 2006. Just pick a nice live rescue tool
[16:51] <ActionParsnip> Relondo: wubi won't make the video any different...
[16:52] <scar2> schnuffle: so ubuntu desktop is not the one i want?
[16:52] <schnuffle> LoboX: I see, wait, i'll check my links
[16:52] <Relondo> ActionParsnip: I know. But Wubi is gross; Don't want to have to use that.
[16:52] <thomasd> Hay I don't know if this is the correct place to ask but I cant think of anywhere better. I'm looking into a laptop for collage. And I just have a few questions about the chrome book. Is it a fully fledged linux machine Like could I install kde if i like and can i get to the terminal /
[16:52] <jkbe> you can get files of a hdd with ubuntu desktop live
[16:52] <schnuffle> scar2: if you only want to mount the HD it should do the job
[16:52] <Relondo> Anyway, I have to go. Thanks for your help, both of you :)
[16:52] <LoboX> thanks schnuffle
[16:52] <jkbe>  im installing ubuntu 12.04 on my intel core i7 3930k/ asus p9x79 deluxe desktop and i have a problem with the mouse, i can move it but it looks like i cant move certain windows or push certain buttons...
[16:53] <jkbe> i had the same problem on my old i7 desktop
[16:53] <scar2> schnuffle: so ubuntu desktop is all i need? last time i remember there was an automatic software that installed all the windows-users friendly stuff
[16:53] <scar2> schnuffle: just ill cancel the 700mb download if theres a better ubuntu disk/iso to download for just this
[16:53] <ActionParsnip> Relondo: you won't have to as it won't gani you anything :). It's a weird issue
[16:54] <thomasd> Hay I don't know if this is the correct place to ask but I cant think of anywhere better. I'm looking into a laptop for collage. And I just have a few questions about the chrome book. Is it a fully fledged linux machine Like could I install kde if i like and can i get to the terminal /
[16:54] <macer1> hi
[16:54] <schnuffle> scar2: go with the ubuntu desktop, there're a lot of specialized rescue distris but you need to know how to use them
[16:54] <macer1> anyone got tracer gamepad drivers?
[16:54] <macer1> :|
[16:55] <macer1> it is recognized, but doesn't send any events like on button push
[16:55] <scottdeagan> thomasd - I looked at a ChromeBook, was not impressed.
[16:55] <ActionParsnip> thomasd: try #androidtablet
[16:55] <ActionParsnip> thomasd: or #chromebook-linux
[16:55] <scar2> schnuffle: dang im so lost. i forgot everything but ubuntu desktop is halfway done. i know im being a vampire here, but is there just an easy doc or easy method to save me time? this is pretty time sensitive i need to get my invoices =P
[16:56] <scottdeagan> thomasd: I would recommend going for something other than a ChromeBook, but that's just my personal opinion. The ChromeBook is like a browser with Google cloud serices attached.
[16:56] <ActionParsnip> scar2: what do you need to do?
[16:56] <schnuffle> LoboX: I think in english it should be "Direct and Group Call Pickup"
[16:56] <scar2> ActionParsnip: back in 2006, i used a ubuntu live cd to mount my harddrive and use internet to upload the files i couldnt access
[16:56] <thomasd> scottdeagan: i need something that has access to the web and I can run x-forwarding to my local desktop to do any heavy lifting application
[16:57] <figureout> I am using Ubuntu 11.10 and from some days, I am not able to access my college internet network. When i connect my ethernet cable and boot, it says connection established and then when i start "firefox" it says the server cannot be reached. When i again try to connect, clicking on the eth0 label, it says "you are now offline" connection disabled. This happends everytime I boot into ubuntu, from about a week or so. Please help
[16:57] <leequarella> are the RVM servers down?  I am unable to fetch any rubies
[16:57] <LoboX> thanks schnuffle ill check that out
[16:57] <scar2> ActionParsnip: so im assuming downloading the iso for ubuntu desktop will allow me to make it a "live cd", and i need to basically get in there, mount it, allow Ethernet internet connections and then use internet to upload
[16:57] <figureout> I have been using the college net before
[16:57] <ActionParsnip> scar2: why do you not have a backup?
[16:57] <KMez> can someone please help me...Im running 12.04 and have google chrome...how do I get the flash to stop running so choppy
[16:57] <ActionParsnip> scar2: especially as it has now happened twice...
[16:57] <schnuffle> scar2: Then just boot the live CD/USB.  Normally it should recognize your HD and mount it
[16:58] <scottdeagan> thomasd: apparrently you can install native Linux on the ChromeBook, but it seems like a very locked down and "different" way of doing things (not that different is bad). Just seemed very restrictive to me - was definitely not a "general purpose computing device".
[16:58] <ActionParsnip> KMez: can you give a pastebin of the output of:  lsb_release -a; uname -a; dpkg -l | egrep 'flash|gnash|swf|spark'
[16:58] <thomasd> hay can i get real-time x-forwarding over a wifi network
[16:58] <schnuffle> scar2: aha, didn't learn from the first deasaster? :)
[16:59] <ActionParsnip> thomasd: add the -C to the options you connect with to enable compression
[16:59] <KMez> No LSB modules are available.

[16:59] <schnuffle> thomasd: You mean remote desktop access? If so yes
[16:59] <scar2> schnuffle: mounts auto? i used to have to install this automatic software that would put flash, etc etc on it for "easy window users"
[16:59] <ActionParsnip> KMez: pastebin in future, I did say to use pastebin. Why did you NOT use a pastebin?
[16:59] <KMez> sorry im new to this
[16:59] <scottdeagan> KMez - are you running proprietary graphics drivers? It is only choppy in fullscreen mode?
[16:59] <ActionParsnip> KMez: then ASK what a pastebin is and we can tell you...
[16:59] <thomasd> schnuffle so i could play minecraft on my main pc from a laptop?
[17:00] <schnuffle> scar2:  linux supports NTFS for a while now even read write
[17:00] <scar2> schnuffle ActionParsnip: this is the first time its happened on this computer... crashing.
[17:00] <ActionParsnip> !paste | KMez
[17:00] <KMez> no its choopy in regular size too
[17:00] <meatwad> sup everybody
[17:00] <schnuffle> thomasd:  you can but the performance is not good enough for games I guess
[17:00] <scottdeagan> KMez - what graphics drivers are you running?
[17:00] <ActionParsnip> KMez: if you can make a pastebin of teh text, it will make a URL you can paste in here so we can see all the text and you won't scroll the channel
[17:01] <KMez> i didnt install anything extra just watever ubuntu found when installing
[17:01] <thomasd> schnuffle word processing ?
[17:01] <scar2> schnuffle: im assuming ubuntu has more out-of-box features now? lol
[17:01] <scottdeagan> Have to go now before someone asks me to do something else. Take care all.
[17:02] <TankFace> hooray for pastebin
[17:02] <jagginess> pastebin.ca > pastebin.com
[17:02] <jagginess> !
[17:02] <ActionParsnip> pastie.org
[17:03] <jagginess> also xclip > pastebinit  in cli
[17:03] <ActionParsnip> jagginess: not for irc usage :)
[17:03] <scar2> prob a dumb question considering its been 6yrs
[17:03] <jagginess> speaking of.. someone mentioned recently that pastebinit command doesnt work anymore..
[17:03] <schnuffle> thomasd:  easy. The standard that comes with ubuntu is VNC, For slow network there's FreeNX
[17:04] <ActionParsnip> jagginess: are there any bugs reported? Have you tried setting a different paste site?
[17:04] <thomasd> schnuffle: cant you just do ssx -X
[17:04] <ActionParsnip> thomasd: ssh -X -C username@host
[17:04] <schnuffle> scar2: I would say linux in gerenal
[17:04] <jagginess> ActionParsnip, i dont use pastebinit, but used to long ago, sometimes an update on the pastebin.com site can break the pastebinit command, i guess an update may be inthe works if this is true
[17:05] <schnuffle> thomasd: Of course you can when you work on a PC with a running X-Server
[17:05] <seejohnrun> I'm trying to install libmagickwand-dev on 12.04 - and seeing http://hastebin.com/doxuyemaho - any ideas?
[17:05] <jagginess> ActionParsnip, meanwhile, one can use xclip to use midmouse button to paste on the site
[17:05] <thomasd> Should i get a laptop and install linux or just get a mac for the stability and unix-like environment and increced compatability
[17:05] <nyc-h0st_> after upgrade to 12.04 rsyslog is going nuts, getting infinite number of the following messages "kernel: imklog Error return from sys_sycall: 1", any ideas?
[17:06] <jagginess> thomasd, if you can afford it, i would get a mactel (mac machine with intel), linux can work on it with the help of refit.sf.net
[17:06] <jagginess> thomasd, you can even triple boot on a mac..
[17:06] <schnuffle> seejohnrun: did you made a repo update before?
[17:07] <thomasd> jagginess i have no beef with os10
[17:07] <figureout> quit
[17:07] <jagginess> thomasd, (bootcamp sux and you dont need to use it, use the Disk Utility to make the partition table, and then the refit utility properly)
[17:07] <seejohnrun> schnuffle: with apt-get update? (yes)
[17:07] <ActionParsnip> thomasd: i'd ask in ##hardware I wouldn't ever buy mac :).
[17:07] <seejohnrun> schnuffle: and this is on a fresh install
[17:08] <jagginess> thomasd, you don't need to install OsX at all.. but here's the thing..
[17:08] <schnuffle> seejohnrun: harddisk has enough space? when you search for your package does it show up?
[17:08] <jagginess> thomasd, sometimes apple sends out firmware updates and get applied from OSx updates.. so in a way you might be forced to install OsX
[17:09] <thomasd> Can i get linux to run stably on a laptop
[17:09] <ActionParsnip> thomasd: increased compatibility with mac over linux....are you crazy?
[17:09] <ActionParsnip> thomasd: runs well here
[17:09] <jagginess> thomasd, (like battery life improvement, or trackpad improvement in the firmware update)
[17:09] <donvito2> is it possible authentication method to be automaticaly?
[17:09] <schnuffle> seejohnrun: 8:<IP_ADDRESS>-3+squeeze3 doesn't look like a ubuntu package
[17:09] <donvito2> cause its weird everytime i install a software i need to authenticate with password
[17:10] <jagginess> thomasd, yes.. and i'm sure a macbook is no exception..
[17:10] <ActionParsnip> donvito2: for what?
[17:10] <seejohnrun> schnuffle: woop - you caught me :) i'll head to the crunchbang room
[17:10] <toafan_> thomasd: probably shouldn't be a problem
[17:10] <thomasd> what's a good laptop around the price range of 200-500$
[17:10] <ActionParsnip> donvito2: yes, its an admin task
[17:10] <ActionParsnip> thomasd: I'd ask in ##hardware
[17:10] <jagginess> thomasd, there are many guides targetted for macbooks (wikis on it for debian/ubuntu are very popular for macs)
[17:10] <donvito2> so i can made be automatically
[17:10] <schnuffle> seejohnrun: :)
[17:10] <seejohnrun> schnuffle: thanks for the help - sorry for the off-topic
[17:10] <donvito2> ActionParsnip tell me how
[17:10] <MonkeyDust> donvito2  that's called 'security'
[17:10] <donvito2> yes but my ubuntu is for local use only
[17:11] <ActionParsnip> donvito2: use your password
[17:11] <angs> how can I connect an embedded board through the usb serial cable? what is the command for it?
[17:11] <donvito2> ActionParsnip i want to not use my pasword
[17:11] <donvito2> i want that method to go automatically
[17:12] <schnuffle> donvito2:  http://www.upubuntu.com/2012/03/how-to-enable-auto-login-under-ubuntu.html
[17:12] <MonkeyDust> donvito2  if it's automatic for you, it's also automatic for a portential intruder
[17:12] <MonkeyDust> potential*
[17:13] <tobe_> hello all. I need help: Everytime i try to transfer files onto any flash drive/ device it says it cannot write or it makes errors on the drive/device
[17:13] <ActionParsnip> donvito2: if you get to allow software in automatically then anything from anywhere will be able to install software too, you will be gutting a lot of security from your OS
[17:14] <angs> how can I connect an embedded board through the usb serial cable? what is the command for it?
[17:14] <ActionParsnip> donvito2: in short it's a bad idea
[17:14] <donvito2> ok
[17:14] <ActionParsnip> donvito2: and considering it's just a mild inconvenience I'd advise against it
[17:14] <schnuffle> angs: it depends on the board
[17:14] <schnuffle> angs: for arduino: just connect it and chosse the correct tty
[17:15] <angs> schnuffle: I use beaglebone that runs ubuntu-arm
[17:16] <schnuffle> angs:  http://blog.makezine.com/2012/03/14/how-to-get-started-with-the-beaglebone/
[17:17] <scar2> so im booting from the newest ubuntu desktop disk, and its taking forever--- this is normal i suppose. but when do i know if its stuck? it says ubuntu and has 5 dots under it like a bottom bordere, but they are all static red-- normal?
[17:17] <antonio_> exit
[17:17] <angs> it shows how to connect the board through ssh. I found a command "screen /dev/ttyUSB1 115200 " but it does not work
[17:17] <schnuffle> scar2: When it takes longer it can be due to waiting for the network to come up
[17:18] <scar2> schnuffle: no network connected. its an old laptop used for just invoices for a burger joint
[17:18] <angs> does 11520 a generic value or related with the board?
[17:18] <schnuffle> angs: Sure its ttyUSB1
[17:19] <scar2> schnuffle: i just figured ubuntu would let me know if it cant run live disc
[17:19] <scar2> schnuffle: when i did boot from CD, it hasnt asked me any options-- to boot live or install or anything.. did i get the wrong disk?
[17:20] <schnuffle> scar2: the CD just boots into live system, so you can test and has a desktop icon to install
[17:20] <GFC> hello
[17:21] <GFC> need
[17:21] <schnuffle> !anyone | GFC
[17:22] <schnuffle> angs: can't you connect your board over ethernet?
[17:22] <JoT> Hello!
[17:22] <tobe_> can anyone help me with this plz?  Everytime i try to transfer files onto any flash drive/ device it says it cannot write or it makes errors on the drive/device
[17:22] <scar2> schnuffle: ok i restarted and trying again.. u know those dots under the ubuntu logo t hat turn red then white red then white.... well what hapens when it sticks on red
[17:22] <schnuffle> angs:  http://beagleboard.org/static/beaglebone/latest/README.htm
[17:23] <jondoe> I want to redirect some syslog lines into its own file and created /etc/rsyslog.d/10-selinux.conf with the line :msg,contains,"avc: " /var/log/audit.log in it, but now it prints to both audit.log and syslog
[17:23] <scar2> schnuffle: its an old laptop, intel celeron M with XP lol... so i dunno how long im supposed to wait or signs of its not going to work
[17:23] <jondoe> how do I prevent it from printing to syslog as well?
[17:23] <schnuffle> scar2: Normally it takes a while and the starts the desktop. which tool did you use to create the USB
[17:23] <scar2> schnuffle: using the CD
[17:24] <scar2> schnuffle: do i need a USB?
[17:24] <jondoe> i used 30-ufw.conf or something as template, because it works properly, prints only to ufw.log
[17:24] <solirc> Forcing "Firefox 13" on the user as a "security update" is beyond me.  Not sure whom to blame, canonical or Mozilla, but I'm certainly pissed!
[17:24] <scar2> schnuffle also whats a while? 15min? 30min? etc
[17:24] <schnuffle> scar2: no, thought you are using a usb stick
[17:24] <schnuffle> scar2: 5 minutes should be enough
[17:25] <ActionParsnip> solirc: checked the changelog on launchpad to see what was updated?
[17:25] <JoT> DO ТЫ PARLEZ DOUTCH?
[17:25] <ActionParsnip> !dutch
[17:25] <schnuffle> jondoe: you need to prevent syslog to write all to syslog, so you need to change that
[17:25] <JoT> DO ТЫ PARLEZ DOUTCH?
[17:25] <scar2> schnuffle: ok it quits making noise and all 5 dots under the logo are red.
[17:26] <jondoe> schnuffle, but ufw logs are not printed to syslog
[17:26] <scar2> schnuffle: im assuming this wont work. 2nd time the dots stopped  changing colors from white to red. any other ideas or options i have?
[17:26] <JoT> France?
[17:26] <oCean> !ru | JoT
[17:26] <angs> schnuffle: the eth interface does not work that's why I am trying to connect through the usb. thanks for your suggestion

[17:26] <toafan_> looking to use rating_up/rating_down in rhythmbox.  Anyone know of a plugin to offer those?
[17:26] <schnuffle> jondoe:  maybe because ufw uses already USER.LOCAL5 ot something like that that is not printed to syslog
[17:26] <ActionParsnip> solirc: did yuo check it??
[17:26] <JoT> ПОЖАЛУЙСТА ОТСОСИТЕ!
[17:27] <jondoe> schnuffle, hmm, okay. how do I filter lines from syslog then?

[17:31] <Pici> JoT: I am. #ubuntu is english only.  Russian in #ubuntu-ru only.
[17:31] <schnuffle> jondoe:  the *.* tells rsyslog that everythin is going to syslog
[17:31] <JoT> WHERE LUBUNTU CHANNEL?
[17:31] <Pici> JoT: If you cannot find help now, try later when more russian speakers are available.

[17:43] <schnuffle> angs: it's apparently the same setup
[17:43] <angs> it has usb to serial interface, usb2, eth0 and GPIO
[17:44] <schnuffle> c0n: have yu changed something manually ?
[17:44] <angs> yes, but it is weird that the ubuntu machine did not work but the debian machine is working now. I guess I have some problem with the image loading

[17:48] <ActionParsnip> chrislsp: works great here, can you give a PASTEBIN of the output of: lsb_release -a; uname -a; dpkg -l | egrep 'flash|gnash|swf|spark'
[17:48] <schnuffle> c0n: ten you should try to revert what you did
[17:48] <c0n> i tried afterwards
[17:48] <tobe_> schnuffle:  i check it with "dmesg | grep -i usb" right?
[17:49] <schnuffle> tobe_: jsut dmesg

[17:53] <catcher> I've got postfix running, and collecting test emails.  I'd like to be able to read them in an html-capable client like Thunderbird. How can I convince TB to look at localhost as a valid server?
[17:53] <xangua> chrislsp: using a lot of flash players will make none of them work
[17:53] <tobe_> schnuffle: what should i do?
[17:54] <schnuffle> catcher: first you need an imap server
[17:54] <rhizmoe> ugh. what's a decent low-end graphics card for 12.04?

[17:54] <veryhappy> schnuffle: do you have any suggestions for me?
[17:54] <schnuffle> tobe_: don't know, either yor sticks are broken or something else
[17:54] <catcher> schnuffle, gotcha - which is easiest to set up in ubuntu?
[17:54] <chrislsp> xangua I have no clue anout where I stand right now after so many tries
[17:55] <ActionParsnip> chrislsp: http://pastie.org/4039316
[17:55] <llutz> catcher: create a new account in tb, mbox-type and point it to /var/mail/username    or whereever your postfix stores the mails to
[17:55] <tobe_> schnuffle: let me browse around the forums. thanks
[17:55] <schnuffle> veryhappy:  no booting? hm
[17:55] <rhizmoe> if my machine stutters when changing the volume, is more likely to be cpu or graphics?
[17:55] <ActionParsnip> chrislsp: you have more than one flash plugin installed which causes issues
[17:55] <veryhappy> schnuffle: sorry, it doesn't has to do with booting
[17:55] <schnuffle> veryhappy: what was your problem again? :)
[17:55] <chrislsp> ActionParsnip let me try this
[17:56] <xangua> chrislsp: sudo apt-get purge browser-plugin-gnash gnash   ; that if you want the adobe plugin wich will work on all sites that use flash conent
[17:56] <veryhappy> schnuffle: not so bad, we are all human ;) i had the problem with workbench and libmysqlclient16 (i looked in /etc/apt/sources.lst and it was activated)
[17:56] <angs> is it possible to see the domain name that my network has?
[17:56] <veryhappy> schnuffle: universe was activated i mean
[17:57] <schnuffle> catcher: I would use dovecot. But setup is not that easy because you need to integrate postfix and dovecot. I would sys it easy but depends on your knowledge
[17:58] <ActionParsnip> angs: try: dnsdomainname    maybe
[17:58] <ActionParsnip> angs: or:  hostname -d
[17:58] <chrislsp> ActionParsnip nothing
[17:58] <ActionParsnip> chrislsp: did you install adobe-flashplugin?
[17:59] <chrislsp> ActionParsnip ?
[17:59] <catcher> schnuffle, I really only need to test 1 email, is there any other way to get it out to a non-textbased client?

[18:00] <ckop64> does anyone have a clue?
[18:00] <llutz> catcher: mbox is a format to store mails (mdir is another). just import your mbox-file into tb and read the mail. howtos in the www

[18:03] <catcher> thanks schnuffle & llutz
[18:04] <veryhappy> schnuffle: ?

[18:05] <rymate1234> why doesn't it show up in the unity sidebar thing?

[18:06] <rymate1234> but unity refuses to acknowledge the existance of the open window
[18:06] <keefer> hi
[18:06] <ActionParsnip> rymate1234: try logging off then on
[18:06] <Seryth_> Hey. I have a bit of a problem with apt at the moment; since updating to 12.04 this morning I've only been able  to install/remove/update/etc when I'm root; just running "sudo apt-get update" or whatever doesn't work, I have to be in a root shell first....any ideas?
[18:06] <ActionParsnip> rymate1234: or press ALT+F2 and run:  R
[18:07] <veryhappy> keefer: hi, how can we help you?
[18:07] <rymate1234> done "R"
[18:07] <EbubekirK> Hey, anyone know whats the best laptop for ubuntu  os or linux ??
[18:07] <EbubekirK> or advices ??
[18:07] <ActionParsnip> rymate1234: try logging off and on is all I can suggest then, should be ok
[18:07] <ActionParsnip> EbubekirK: there is no outright best, there are options
[18:07] <rymate1234> I need to reboot in a minute to install updates
[18:08] <rymate1234> Just reinstalled ubuntu after trying linux mint
[18:08] <keefer> i compared a list of 'linux companies' but found that dell pc were cheaper with same specs - you can just throw away the windows it comes with
[18:08] <ActionParsnip> EbubekirK: System76 pre-install Ubuntu, could be a good start to look at
[18:08] <veryhappy> EbubekirK: there are no real best laptops, you just should know what you want to do and then look what you need for a notebook
[18:08] <ActionParsnip> rymate1234: convenient :)
[18:09] <rymate1234> Its a good thing my /home is on a seperate partition
[18:09] <rymate1234> makes reinstalling much easier
[18:09] <ActionParsnip> rymate1234: backups also help
[18:09] <catcher> llutz, worked like a charm, ty
[18:09] <rymate1234> heh

[18:10] <ActionParsnip> rymate1234: if your data is important to you, i suggest a backup regime
[18:10] <llutz> catcher: easier than to setup a pop/imap-server just for test-purposes
[18:10] <docmur> if people can see this http://imageshack.us/f/835/selection002e.png/  do I have those set correctly?  There my DNS records

[18:11] <K4k> Has anyone here had success mounting an ironkey in 12.04? I've got the read-only partition mounted without any issue but I'm unable to launch the unlocker.
[18:11] <ActionParsnip> EbubekirK: maybe there is a local stockist of linux preinstalled laptops
[18:11] <danieltree> I installed a program in /usr/local/bin/ where should I link it to be seen in dash when I search for it ?
[18:12] <llutz> catcher: iirc there is a mbox-plugin for thunderbird allowing it to use mbox like any other mail-server, not sure
[18:14] <ActionParsnip> danieltree: you need a .desktop for it in /usr/share/applications
[18:14] <ActionParsnip> danieltree: I suggest copying one from ~/.config/autostart as they are simple
[18:14] <xangua> danieltree: you could just drag the bin to the launcher
[18:14] <llutz> catcher: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1718795
[18:15] <danieltree> xangua, to lock it to the bar ?
[18:15] <xangua> danieltree: yes
[18:16] <llutz> catcher: since they seem to have taken that option from the TB-GUI, you also want to read http://www.thelinuxblog.com/thunderbird-localmail-spool/
[18:16] <catcher> llutz, excellent, thanks again
[18:16] <veryhappy> where is schnuffle?
[18:18] <Devilz> Hi everyone. I want to create a proxy for my wifi router using squid through which i want to allow ppl with given unique ids and passwords only and noone else. Can anyone tell me how can i do that??
[18:19] <farkerhaiku> yo, I had a problem yesterday where I couldn't figure out how long a user has been logged in and I found my own solution via "who -a".  That said, there's a bug (870297) where lightdm doesn't update the users logged in correctly, so the solution doesn't work.  It looks like I can query the xserver directly for information regarding idle time via xprintidle, however I can't issue that command via a shell script (think cron).  Any ideas?
[18:21] <rymate1234> yay
[18:21] <B0g4r7> Hi guys.  How can I make the trackpad work better on my eee laptop in ubuntu 12.04?  If I clock too fast, it does not detect my click.

[18:32] <B0g4r7> Rebooting is the easiest fix, alanis.
[18:32] <MonkeyDust> alanis  make sure synaptic is closed
[18:32] <alanis> tried, rebooting, relogging
[18:32] <fidel> alanis: basically - answer the question of the error output
[18:32] <alanis> what?
[18:32] <B0g4r7> Yeah, close Synaptic, Software Center, Update manager, etc.
[18:33] <fidel> check if there is a running dpkg process or if some kind of apt-gui is doing soe updates and therefore causing the lock message
[18:33] <alanis> ok I can't because I don't know hoe to, I'm not running any of thT
[18:33] <alanis> *THAT
[18:33] <B0g4r7> Weird it's still locked after a reboot.
[18:33] <B0g4r7> Maybe a stale lock?
[18:33] <alanis> sorry, caps
[18:34] <trism> Berto: bug 918765 suggests that: sudo apt-get install --reinstall libqtcore4; make work around the issue
[18:34] <alanis> it was not locked when I rebooted but then it said to do this E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.
[18:34] <alanis> then I did that and the other error started to appear
[18:34] <Berto> trism, yeah, i just did a purge and that helped.  Thanks!!!
[18:35] <B0g4r7> What said to do that?
[18:35] <alanis> terminal
[18:35] <linux> Could someone help me to figure how to host a hp laserjet printer after download hplip please?
[18:35] <Berto> trism, then made sure the file was gone, and reinstalled everything.  That one file threw off like 200 packages :)
[18:35] <veryhappy> please you guys help me, i need to get workbench running under ubuntu but i always get an error message like "missing depency libmysqlclient16"
[18:35] <B0g4r7> You know what I mean, right?
[18:35] <veryhappy> what can i do now?
[18:35] <alanis> How can I kill the process blocking the updates
[18:36] <veryhappy> kill -9 id
[18:36] <jagginess> aladilas, well you shouldnt kill something that can kill X
[18:36] <B0g4r7> alanis, I suppose you can use 'sudi lsof', and grep that list to see what, if anything, has that open.
[18:36] <B0g4r7> sudo I mean
[18:36] <ubuntu_> I'm booted from live cd, how can I edit the xorg.conf file that is owned by root under my origianl ubuntu install?
[18:36] <jagginess> ubuntu_, gksudo gedit /pathto/file
[18:37] <nannes> are there Catalyst12.4 drivers In Precise's repos ?
[18:37] <jagginess> ubuntu_, didn u ask this before?
[18:37] <alanis> B0g4r7, I'm new to this, what is Grep
[18:37] <ubuntu_> I got disconnected. I'm sorry. Thanks.
[18:37] <veryhappy> alanis: grep is something like a searchprogram for terms
[18:37] <Devilz> Hi everyone. I want to create a proxy for my wifi router using squid through which i want to allow ppl with given unique ids and passwords only and noone else. Can anyone tell me how can i do that??
[18:37] <jagginess> ubuntu_, i mean the other day, you asked this
[18:37] <B0g4r7> It just filters output to look for a specific string.  run 'man grep' if you're interested in details.
[18:37] <ubuntu_> oh no, first time connecting :)
[18:37] <veryhappy> !grep
[18:38] <ubuntu_> botched ubuntu install
[18:38] <alanis> B0g4r7, ok I just got a huge list
[18:38] <B0g4r7> Yeah, so you'll wanna look through that list for /var/lib/dpkg
[18:39] <B0g4r7> you can 'sudo lsof | grep dpkg' to pare it down some
[18:39] <ufrgs> How do I share a printer on Linux to be used on a Windows machine ?
[18:39] <veryhappy> ufrgs: take samba
[18:39] <ubuntu_> ah nautilus worked :)
[18:40] <alanis> B0g4r7, I got this msg lsof: WARNING: can't stat() fuse.gvfs-fuse-daemon file system /home/alanis/.gvfs
[18:40] <alanis>       Output information may be incomplete.
[18:40] <jagginess> ufrgs, you use cups
[18:40] <jagginess> !cups
[18:40] <B0g4r7> That's OK.
[18:40] <llutz> ufrgs: make cups accessible from LAN and add your printer to windows (http://yourlinuxmachine:631/printers/PRINTERNAME    no need for samba at all
[18:40] <B0g4r7> No other output?
[18:41] <alanis> no
[18:41] <B0g4r7> Maybe it is a stale lock then.
[18:41] <alanis> so what should I do
[18:42] <ronald_> join #abc
[18:42] <ronald_> join #abc
[18:42] <FloodBot1> ronald_: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[18:42] <ufrgs> It's a HP Color LaserJet, would it work with Samba or Cups? I already installed hplibopensource drivers.
[18:42] <ronald_> join #tttt
[18:42] <aleminio> how can i create a shortcut to an executable shell file? so i could run it directly from my desktop instead of using the terminal
[18:42] <J11> What's the best way to update from an older version? Incremental updates or a fresh install?
[18:43] <B0g4r7> Good question.  I'd be tempted to just delete the lockfile, but I'm not sure that's the right answer.
[18:43] <B0g4r7> Maybe google a bit for "fix stale dpkg lock" or similar.
[18:43] <alanis> ok thanks
[18:43] <Ca11umD> Hi, I'm trying to set the display resolution for this laptop, using the xrandr command, but I don't know what value to specify for --output
[18:43] <Ca11umD> It's a Rock laptop
[18:44] <llutz> ufrgs: windows can print using IPP so no samba needed
[18:44] <ufrgs> llutz, what is IPP?
[18:45] <schultza> can you use empathy for steam chat yet?
[18:45] <majuscule> Ca11umD: check `xrandr -q`
[18:45] <llutz> ufrgs: Internet Printing Protocol
[18:45] <Pici> schultza: no, the steam chat protocol is closed, and last I checked, had not been reverse engineered.
[18:45] <Ca11umD> xrandr: Failed to get size of gamma for output default Screen 0: minimum 640 x 480, current 1280 x 720, maximum 1280 x 768
[18:45] <schultza> ok. thanks
[18:45] <Ca11umD> (New line after default)
[18:46] <J11> My parents use my old desktop computer, but that motherboard recently gave out, so they switch back to an older laptop, but not long after the hard drive gave out. So I put a HDD from an even older laptop in that one. It runs Intrepid...
[18:47] <J11> I don't look forward of dist upgrading it seven times
[18:48] <MonkeyDust> J11  fresh install is the fastest and easiest way, especially if you have a separate /home partition
[18:49] <jrib> J11: I → J → K → L → P
[18:49] <jrib> J11: but yes I would just do a fresh install if I were in your shoes
[18:49] <s00p3rg33n00s> cannot execute binary file
[18:49] <s00p3rg33n00s> cannot execute binary file
[18:49] <jrib> s00p3rg33n00s: give context...
[18:49] <ufrgs> llutz, yes, but I've tryed to use "hp:/usb/HP_Color_LaserJet_CP1215?serial=MH004QL" but haven't worked.
[18:50] <s00p3rg33n00s> wat
[18:50] <llutz> ufrgs: your printer does work locally?
[18:50] <s00p3rg33n00s> jrib, wut
[18:50] <LoboX> schnuffle ot it working bro
[18:50] <ufrgs> llutz, locally yes. You mean from Linux it's working already.
[18:50] <MonkeyDust> !details| s00p3rg33n00s
[18:50] <LoboX> is paging
[18:50] <jrib> s00p3rg33n00s: that's what I'm saying to you: "wut"
[18:50] <LoboX> >:D
[18:50] <s00p3rg33n00s> ah
[18:51] <s00p3rg33n00s> Well
[18:51] <MonkeyDust> s00p3rg33n00s  in 1 line
[18:51] <LoboX> Paging and Intercom
[18:51] <jrib> s00p3rg33n00s: on one line please
[18:51] <s00p3rg33n00s> That's basically all you need to know.
[18:51] <ufrgs> llutz, what do you mean with locally?
[18:51] <llutz> ufrgs:so make cups accessible from LAN (go to http://localhost:631 and change setting) and then add your printer to windows using http://yourlinuxmachine:631/printers/PRINTERNAME    as path
[18:51] <MonkeyDust> s00p3rg33n00s  the more we know, the better and faster we can help you
[18:51] <jrib> s00p3rg33n00s: well certainly you are trying to do something and are executing a file to try to do it.  You should say what you are trying to do and exactly what you are trying to execute
[18:52] <s00p3rg33n00s> Ubuntu 12. Trying to execute a single executable. Always returns "cannot execute binary file".
[18:52] <jrib> s00p3rg33n00s: you're still being vague.  Good luck.
[18:52] <J11> I might consider that, I don't think the home partition is a seperate partition though, but I might use my precise live cd for that, although last time I used it it didn't had an easy way to start up a terminal
[18:52] <s00p3rg33n00s> wat
[18:53] <MonkeyDust> s00p3rg33n00s  an .exe executable in wine? a .sh file? what?
[18:53] <s00p3rg33n00s> Well, what else do you need to know?
[18:53] <s00p3rg33n00s> .exe
[18:53] <chosendescent> Hello, I just installed Ubuntu 12.04 on my Netbook unfortunately the audio works properly while playing on the speakers and stops playing when I plug a 3.5mm jack headphone set in.
[18:53] <jrib> s00p3rg33n00s: well certainly you are trying to do something and are executing a file to try to do it.  You should say what you are trying to do and exactly what you are trying to execute
[18:53] <s00p3rg33n00s> It's supposedly a C++ game.
[18:53] <MonkeyDust> s00p3rg33n00s  better ask in #wine, then
[18:54] <s00p3rg33n00s> No, not-- wait. I bet it is a windows program.
[18:54] <s00p3rg33n00s> Thanks!
[18:54] <xangua> s00p3rg33n00s: so you're using wine¿ did you install that game on the wince virtual C directory¿
[18:54] <chosendescent> I believe I have audio hardware installation problems can someone please help?
[18:56] <chosendescent> I would really appreciate some help please.....
[18:56] <Squid_Tamer> What's wrong? Does the sound not work at all?
[18:57] <MonkeyDust> chosendescent  start with asking a question
[18:58] <chosendescent__> Hello, I just installed Ubuntu 12.04 on my Netbook unfortunately the audio works properly while playing on the speakers and stops playing when I plug a 3.5mm jack headphone set in.
[18:59] <Squid_Tamer> chosendescent__: Stupid question, but are you sure that the headphones work for any other device?
[18:59] <Squid_Tamer> And does it resume working on the speakers when you unplug them?
[18:59] <chosendescent__> yes and yes
[19:00] <ufrgs> llutz, how do I figure YOURLINUXMACHINE from http://yourlinuxmachine:631/printers/PRINTERNAME ?
[19:00] <CookieM> are you sure you put the headphone set in right slot?
[19:00] <llutz> ufrgs: thats the hostname or IP of your linuxmachine
[19:01] <llutz> ufrgs: the one with the printer attached
[19:01] <eppe10> ciao
[19:02] <eppe10> !list
[19:02] <llutz> ufrgs: and PRINTERNAME is the printers name as shown in cups on that machine
[19:02] <chosendescent_> Well Im pretty stoned but not that stoned its in the right slot
[19:03] <u4ia74> Hi all.  I am using Xubuntu Precise on my laptop.  I have it wired to my ethernet  via twisted pair, and I'd like to make the laptop into an access point.  I'm not super familiar with linux, I'm still learning... but does anyone know of any software that can help me setup my laptop as an access point, that will allow things like distributing bandwidth among various connections to the access point. etc...
[19:03] <B0g4r7> u4ia, I would recommend you look at a dedicated router for this task, and run dd-wrt on it.  It's made to do just that.
[19:03] <chosendescent_> LAME I wish my headphone jack worked :(
[19:04] <u4ia74> lol You would think a computer would be able to handle the task...
[19:04] <B0g4r7> I'm pretty happy with my asus r13/u running dd-wrt.
[19:05] <B0g4r7> Well, you may get it to work, but it will probably take a good but of effort.
[19:05] <u4ia74> The laptop serves a few purposes. No work arounds
[19:05] <B0g4r7> There used to be software called "hostap" that would do that, on some supported chipsets.
[19:05] <chosendescent_> Im going to make it work because I no the hardware works fine and it just need drivers
[19:05] <jussi> B0g4r7: Im not sure about the bandwidth distribution and so on, but the access point is easy, just go to the network settings and click wireless, then use as hotspot
[19:06] <llutz> u4ia74: look at the hostapd website/documentation and check if it supports your wifi-chipset
[19:06] <u4ia74> Thank you llutz, I'll take a look.
[19:07] <sqrbrkt_> hi all, I'm running ubuntu 12.04 LTS. I've noticed that some applications (including XChat) don't appear in the application switcher. If I switch to desktop I effectively lose any way to retrieve the application window. Can anyone suggest either how to get the app to show in switcher, or how to restore a minimised app without using switcher?
[19:07] <sqrbrkt_> ...long question
[19:09] <toafan_> sqrbrkt_: I use compiz's ring switcher.  that'd work
[19:09] <toafan_> sqrbrkt_: try hiting super-w or super-e to expose windows
[19:12] <sqrbrkt_> toafan: super-w should do it, thanks! Didn't know about that shortcut
[19:13] <toafan_> sqrbrkt_: there's a couple of those
[19:14] <sqrbrkt_> toafan: handy :)
[19:14] <toafan_> sqrbrkt_: super-w is windows on all workspaces, and super-e is windows on the current workspace iirc
[19:15] <toafan_> sqrbrkt_: compiz config lets you set them, if you want them different
[19:15] <sqrbrkt_> toafan: nice, thanks for your help
[19:15] <ufrgs> llutz, cups serves for managing a linux printer server, right?
[19:15] <wilhart> where was the mint channel
[19:15] <llutz> ufrgs: yes
[19:16] <Qasaur> oh god guys
[19:16] <ufrgs> llutz, ok, but what I am looking forward is a way to send jobs from a Windows machine to a Linux host, do you know.
[19:16] <Qasaur> I accidently overwrote my private key
[19:16] <Qasaur> with the passwords and keys tool
[19:16] <Qasaur> is there any way to retreieve it?
[19:17] <Qasaur> retrieve*
[19:17] <ufrgs> llutz, I need to share the printer in linux and use it on Windows machines.
[19:17] <ypg> is there a backup
[19:17] <Qasaur> no :(
[19:17] <ypg> ending in ~
[19:17] <ypg> bummer :(
[19:17] <Qasaur> well what do you mean
[19:17] <Qasaur> by backup
[19:17] <Qasaur> It was on my USB
[19:17] <Qasaur> the keypair
[19:17] <llutz> ufrgs: yes and i told you how. windows is able to print to your linux-cups-printer
[19:17] <Qasaur> and now I can't revoke the key since I don't have the private one
[19:17] <ypg> are there any other copies of that file, in any location
[19:17] <Qasaur> there has to be a way right?
[19:17] <FloodBot1> Qasaur: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[19:18] <llutz> ufrgs: your linux-machine acts as a printserver, not restricted to linux.
[19:18] <ufrgs> llutz, could you assist me to set the windows side of this operation plese?
[19:18] <Qasaur> ypg: Nope :(
[19:18] <llutz> ufrgs: have you enabled "allow printing from internet" and "sharing printers" in cups on your linux-machine?
[19:18] <Qasaur> And now I can't figure out a way to revoke it
[19:19] <ufrgs> llutz, not sure, let me check.
[19:19] <ufrgs> llutz, yes
[19:20] <llutz> ufrgs: sudo service cups restart
[19:20] <Qasaur> that key that I overwrote expires august 2014
[19:20] <Qasaur> is it better that I just ignore the fact that the key is deployed to numerous key servers and generate a new one instead?
[19:21] <ufrgs> llutz, ok, made
[19:21] <physicsftw> I'm trying to completely uninstall the ati fglrx driver. Does anyone know how I can do this
[19:21] <llutz> ufrgs: then in windows, add a network-printer, and use      http://yourlinuxmachine:631/printers/PRINTERNAME   as printerqueue (replace machine/printername)

[19:41] <Etale> Hi guys. I've been having really spotty Wi-Fi reception with my laptop at the office. It's a dual boot, and with windows it's always a-okay. It takes about 20 minutes to connect, and then it disconnects after a minute or two. I tried various things like turning off the power management ("iwconfig wlan0 power off") and changing the retries to 16, and changing the frag to 500. Nothing is very effective...
[19:41] <bubbly> X starts, then all i get is a black screen with no USB keyboard. how does a DM kill a keyboard
[19:41] <Etale> The Wi-Fi at work is WPA2 with password.
[19:42] <Etale> Anybody know what I should use/what I should do? (For  example, if there's a nice program that automatically figures out the best wifi sensitivity parameters that I should use, or whether there are recommended iwconfig parameters to put in in that situation...
[19:43] <reisio> Etale: what wireless device is it?
[19:43] <nino> hi
[19:43] <nino> helloooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
[19:43] <Etale> Hmm... Let me check and I'll tell you in a second, reisio.
