[18:30] <krababbel> Scunizi: 7zip maybe, and a hexeditor
[18:30] <fraterm> I think some of the archivers can inspect an .exe if it is a sneakily packaged self extracting zip.

[18:56] <ikonia> cowboynicka: yes, so why are you telling random people in #ubuntu to check it out ?
[18:57] <Sidewinder> mathias, I believe that Synaptic has a "Fix Broken Packages" option that may solve your problem.
[18:57] <mathias> Sidewinder: Will have a look, thanks!
[18:57] <cowboynicka> @ikonia SOrry. It just popped into my head.
[18:57] <mwallacesd> thanx trism.
[18:57] <cowboynicka> Cause I was talking over there.
[18:57] <mathias> Sidewinder: The ironic thing is that the package works. Or at least the parts that I can see.
[18:57] <Sidewinder> mathias, You'll need to shut down any other Package Managers, though.

[19:00] <mathias> Sidewinder: Thanks, I appreciate the help.
[19:01] <sushil> maybe not, its just chrome doing it that way
[19:01] <mathias> Sidewinder: The error is very hard to google for.
[19:01] <mathias> Sidewinder: Hard to describe the problem in a clear way.
[19:01] <infecto> Got ssh setup for sftp only. Have the users group chrootdirectory as /home/%u, with root:root as the owner of the users folder ie /home/user1. With it setup like this the user cannot create a new directory under their root login. If I chown user1:user1 /home/user1 then I cannot log in
[19:01] <MirkoKa> mathias: try uninstalling the package with apt-get line then re install it again with apt-get, pastebin both outputs
[19:02] <MirkoKa> mathias: s/line//
[19:02] <mathias> MirkoKa: I have done it several times. I can trigger the errors and pastebin it here.
[19:03] <mathias> MirkoKa: Here is one: http://pastebin.com/jNzMK8Pa
[19:03] <mathias> MirkoKa: ... and here's another one: http://pastebin.com/YDEX0KTy
[19:04] <mathias> MirkoKa: Again, the package (icaclient, it's a Citrix client) works for my purposes, so I do NOT want to uninstall it.
[19:05] <mathias> MirkoKa: I would however like to know how I can finalize what went wrong, or at least silence it.
[19:05] <MirkoKa> mathias: purge it with "sudo apt-get purge icaclient" , the reinstall it with "sudo apt-get install  icaclient"
[19:05] <mathias> MirkoKa: I think I did exactly that already. But I will do it, just for you :)
[19:06] <MirkoKa> mathias: when you purged it, was the package manager ok again?
[19:06] <mathias> MirkoKa: yes
[19:07] <mathias> MirkoKa: something fails during install but still the package is installed and works. but something is "left" unfinshed from the package systems point of view.
[19:07] <MirkoKa> mathias: so if you now reinstall it, and the problem appears again, then I'd say the package is either broken or nor compatibe with your ubuntu version
[19:07] <mathias> MirkoKa: It could be the latter. I use 64 bit 12.04 but Citrix has a 64 bit version.
[19:08] <GuestPl> Ubuntu: 12.04 (64): Could anyone suggest a slideshow program that has a randomizer that has varibles, so that you can make certain folders more likely be picked from? I used Karsten Slideshow for windows and it worked ok. Anything similar to that?
[19:08] <johnny|> Ok so I figured out what the issue was. When Ubuntu installed, my on board audio was disabled because I didn't need it. Now that I am trying to use the audio mic input on the front of my PC case and enabled the card in the bios the card still isn't recognized by Ubuntu.
[19:09] <johnny|> It only sees my NVIDIA HD Card and my USB Camera Mic.
[19:09] <Sidewinder> mathias, To the best of my knowledge, 64 bit systems should run 32 bit programs with no problems; it's not the other way around: 32 bit systems can't/won't run 64 bit software.
[19:10] <MirkoKa> mathias: I would talk to the package providers, their post-install script fails
[19:10] <johnny|> Do I have to reinstall Ubuntu again with the card enabled in the bios?
[19:10] <infecto> how do I setup sftp folder permission so a user can log into a root folder and have permission to mkdir
[19:10] <mathias> MirkoKa: Yeah, I should probably do that. I don't expect a reply anytime soon from such a big company, but maybe I should give it a try.
[19:11] <mathias> MirkoKa: What I would like to know is where this post-install script lies, so I can change it/disable it/whatever.
[19:12] <mongo> mathias: /var/lib/dpkg/info IIRC
[19:12] <maximo> ciao

[19:15] <johnny|> Nope that didn't work ubottu. Not when I only have pavucontrol as preferences.
[19:15] <MirkoKa> mathias: you should at least carefully read it, it might need certain commandline parameters
[19:16] <mathias> MirkoKa: Good advice.
[19:16] <MirkoKa> mathias: another option is to unpack the .dev with ar(1), unpack the control.tar.gz, change the post-inst script, repackage everything and try to install it then
[19:16] <mathias> MirkoKa: Ok.
[19:17] <LucidGuy> Very sad...  Just had a horrible experience with Ubuntu 12.04.  Can't stand Unity, tried installing Gnome .. tons of issues.  Trying Fedora16.  Gnome3 is just odd.  What has come of Linux?  What are we all using
[19:17] <mathias> MirkoKa: Another idea I got was to edit the script and put short debug statements (echo calls) here and there and see where it fails when later running dpgk again. Would that work or is there another copy of the script lying around?
[19:17] <david__> Hi everyone, I'm new to ubuntu and struggling a bit. I need to downgrade the mercurial package to a version compatible with TortoiseHg, but I can't figure out how to downgrade it. Anyone got a minute to show a new guy around?
[19:18] <OmegaHarvest> Just installed 12.04. It's not picking up any nvidia drivers under additional drivers. anyone else run into this? I have a nvidia 555m btw
[19:19] <MirkoKa> mathias: don't think there is another copy. I'm not sure if echo would work, dpkg might redirect the output, try to use logger(1) instead
[19:19] <mathias> MirkoKa: okay
[19:19] <Trian3> I'm getting a message in boot repair which states "Please enable a repository containing the [grub2] packages in the software sources of Linux not detected by os-prober (sda1). Then try again."  How do I enable the requested repository?
[19:19] <_dolmen_> Is there a reason why my 11.10 amd64 system does not get the 12.04 in update-manager?
[19:20] <OmegaHarvest> it might be set not to show new releases in the update manager settings dolmen
[19:20] <mathias> MirkoKa: Thanks for all the good advice. This was the first time I tried IRC for Ubuntu issues. For Emacs chat and discussions I have used it a lot.
[19:20] <_dolmen_> OmegaHarvest, no, I already checked that
[19:21] <fraterm> LucidGuy, I tend to try the xubuntu/kubuntu and other desktop environments rather than other distros.
[19:21] <MirkoKa> mathias: no problem, my pleasure :)
[19:21] <OmegaHarvest> hmmm. not sure then, sorry mate
[19:21] <kanapka> hi

[19:21] <ironhalik> how can I make each monitor using its own workspaces (with dual monitor setup) - the multimonitor behavior menu in ccsm seems to not work
[19:21] <fraterm> It's as though everyone has decided the metaphor for interacting with a computer should move to tablet-esque behaviour.

[19:26] <x_> is there a way to adjust scroll speed in 12.04?
[19:26] <aleprovencio> can anyone please tell me how can I disable alt+<something> calling a menu accel for a specific app? or maybe all accels for a specific app?
[19:26] <david__> !patience
[19:27] <Stereocaulon> x_: These detailed settings can probably found in the gnome config editor.
[19:27] <x_> ubottu, did you tell to me?
[19:27] <kanapka> Floyd42: i don't have noscript or flashblock, only Icedtea, Windows Media Player, quick time and so, it's a pretty fresh install
[19:27] <x_> xD
[19:28] <x_> i have a question
[19:28] <Stereocaulon> x_, install gconf-editor by using sudo apt-get install gconf-editor
[19:28] <x_> Stereocaulon, so i can adjust scroll speed?
[19:28] <Floyd42> kanapka: windows media player?  i thought you were on ubuntu, or linux.  hmm .. i'm not sure about windows stuff.
[19:28] <pratz> hey guys I have ubuntu 12.04
[19:28] <pratz> and alt+tab is not working for me
[19:29] <Floyd42> kanapka: but if you're using the dev version of chrome, try disabling the inbuilt pdf viewer, restart the browser, and try again.
[19:29] <kanapka> Floyd42: it's called Gecko Media Player, it just says Windows media player on the top. sorry for the mistake
[19:29] <Stereocaulon> x_, if there is a place you can adjust the scroll speed, the editor is the most likely way to accomplish it. Be warned though, some settings can be almost as cryptic as the Windows registry.
[19:29] <xskydevilx> Do you think it is possible to run Skype 5.9 on Ubuntu?
[19:30] <pratz> ubuntu 12.04 can not switch between windows using alt+tab
[19:30] <pratz> ??
[19:30] <x_> Stereocaulon, it is most possible i can't find the scroll speed line!
[19:30] <OmegaHarvest> hi all, wondering if anyone can help. just gone to 12.04 and it's not picking up any nvidia drivers under additional drivers. I have the latest nvidia-current package installed which is 295.40. its a nvidia 555m btw
[19:30] <MiJyn> pratz, did you upgrade or clean install?
[19:31] <kanapka> Floyd42: i've disabled everything except flash. do I need to restart chromium to test?
[19:31] <mongo> pratz: if it is the same app you have to use alt ~ now
[19:31] <Floyd42> kanapka: couple more suggestions. 1) remove all installed flash packages & reinstall it.  2) in firefox, install the add-on called "flash-aid" and restar the browser and try again.
[19:31] <MiJyn> OmegaHarvest, is this a clean install or an upgrade?
[19:31] <mongo> alt ~ does windows in the same app alt tab switches between apps
[19:31] <Floyd42> kanapka: yeah, try after restarting
[19:31] <OmegaHarvest> clean install
[19:32] <MiJyn> OmegaHarvest, did you have this problem with earlier versions?
[19:32] <OmegaHarvest> nope it was fine with 11.10
[19:32] <zvacet> I have movie witch consist of 47 rar files how can I start it do I have to merge files?
[19:32] <OmegaHarvest> both amd64
[19:32] <MiJyn> OmegaHarvest, same computer?
[19:32] <kanapka> i've tried uninstalling everthing with 'flash' in the name in synaptic, i also have flash-aid. installed stable flash on root account and it doesn't work
[19:32] <OmegaHarvest> yup
[19:32] <kanapka> brb.
[19:33] <auronandace> zvacet: wrong channel
[19:33] <Stereocaulon> x_, what desktop environt do you use, Unity, Unity 2D or something else?
[19:33] <MiJyn> kanapka, try flash-doctor
[19:33] <Stereocaulon> x_, what desktop environment do you use, Unity, Unity 2D or something else?
[19:33] <OmegaHarvest> I'm just guessing its a driver issue at the moment with my chipset
[19:33] <MiJyn> OmegaHarvest, does nvidia-current work?
[19:33] <xskydevilx> Is it possible to run Skype 5.9 on Ubuntu?
[19:33] <zvacet> auronandace: isn´t it multimedia question?
[19:33] <x_> Stereocaulon, cinnamon on 12.04
[19:33] <OmegaHarvest> nope, and I've checked its installed in synaptic
[19:33] <Simkin> xskydevilx: no, skype stopped updating the linux kernel some time ago
[19:33] <MiJyn> kanapka, try flash-doctor
[19:34] <Simkin> xskydevilx: and now that MS bought it i expect that to only get worse
[19:34] <pratz> mongo: MiJyn i just tried to install cinnamon menu of linux mint
[19:34] <MiJyn> OmegaHarvest, try purging it and reinstalling it
[19:34] <kanapka> Floyd42: still  says 'missing plugin'
[19:34] <xskydevilx> Simkin, What about throught Wine or something?
[19:34] <phibxr> xskydevilx, 2.2 beta seems to be the latest version still.
[19:34] <OmegaHarvest> already tried, no luck
[19:34] <kanapka> MiJyn: for firefox or chrome?
[19:34] <xskydevilx> phibxr, dammit.
[19:34] <MiJyn> OmegaHarvest, and you rebooted?
[19:34] <phibxr> xskydevilx, I don't think they really update skype for linux anymore.
[19:34] <MiJyn> kanapka, no, it's an external utility
[19:34] <Simkin> xskydevilx: virtualbox would work for sure.
[19:34] <OmegaHarvest> yeah. no joy
[19:34] <pratz> mongo: MiJyn then i removed it and i guess because of that the keyboard layout is changed , i am not sure
[19:34] <MiJyn> kanapka, works on both
[19:34] <LucidGuy> Anyone given 12.04 a try?
[19:34] <Simkin> xskydevilx: wine... i'm doubtful but maybe?
[19:35] <Floyd42> kanapka: sorry, i'm out of ideas. perhaps someone else can help you.
[19:35] <MiJyn> LucidGuy, yes :D
[19:35] <david__> How do you remove a package that's been build and installed from the source code using the command "make install"?
[19:35] <xskydevilx> Simkin, Hm.. The 2.2 beta just doesn't seem to cut it.
[19:35] <kanapka> Floyd42: thanks for your time anyway :)
[19:35] <Stereocaulon> x_, Cinnamon is not supported on Ubuntu, but since it's a shell for Gnome3 that looks like Gnome2, best look amongst the Gnome3-configuration, or something that is specific to Cinnamon concerning mouse properties.
[19:35] <Floyd42> kanapka: sure :)
[19:35] <MiJyn> OmegaHarvest, so how do you know if nvidia-current works or not?
[19:35] <kanapka> MiJyn: trying it now, i thought it was an add-on like flash-aid.
[19:35] <Simkin> xskydevilx: it works well enough for me.
[19:35] <LucidGuy> MiJyn, How do you like it? ..  I had a horrible time with it.  Unity makes me very sad.  Then I tried to install Gnome.. and wow what a mess.
[19:35] <Simkin> xskydevilx: skype is pretty crappy
[19:36] <zvacet> david__: by typing sudo make uninstall in folder where app is
[19:36] <MiJyn> kanapka, yeah, no, I wrote it because I didn't like how it was an add-on
[19:36] <Simkin> xskydevilx: if you want to computer->phone communication google voice might be a better option
[19:36] <david__> thx!
[19:36] <xskydevilx> Simkin, Well, I'm kind of forced to use it.
[19:36] <MiJyn> LucidGuy, If you want GNOME 2, try MATE (fork of GNOME 2)
[19:36] <xskydevilx> Simkin, Skype that is. I use Google voice for work.
[19:36] <zvacet> david__:np
[19:36] <Simkin> xskydevilx: me too.
[19:37] <Floyd42> kanapka: if you're using chromium-browser, try downloading chrome from the website and installing it.  it comes preconfigured with flash, see ifthat works.
[19:37] <Simkin> xskydevilx: where is 2.2 failing you?
[19:37] <david__> it says: "make: *** No rule to make target `uninstall'.  Stop."
[19:37] <Simkin> Floyd42: why are you suggesting someone install software without using repositories?????
[19:37] <xskydevilx> Simkin, The UI side of things, and the fonts. I am the head of design at work, so that might be the reason. hehe
[19:37] <x_> Stereocaulon, i don't understand what u are saying. If i could change scroll speed on Unity, it would effect cinnamon too!!
[19:37] <kanapka> Floyd42: will try if flashdoctor fails
[19:37] <Simkin> xskydevilx: yah, it looks like ass but it's functionally 'alright'
[19:38] <x_> Stereocaulon, so if you know how to change on Unity, tell me please
[19:38] <MirkoKa> david__: you need to be in the source directory, where you did the make install earlier
[19:38] <Roberto> Question: http://i.imgur.com/a7IH2.jpg    --- I dont need no source code so I can uncheck all those PPAs ?
[19:38] <xskydevilx> Simkin, Granted, I haven't tried using Wine to get 5.9. Do you happen to be on Ubuntu?
[19:38] <Floyd42> simkin: oh, a thousand pardons!  i didn't realize geniuses like you were around to provide invaluable critique.
[19:39] <BlueProtoman> I'm using Ubuntu 11.10.  Jockey doesn't show the drivers I have available, even though it did before.  Reinstalling it doesn't help.  Any tips?
[19:39] <Simkin> xskydevilx: wine won't run skype, already checked.
[19:39] <Simkin> Floyd42: just asking why.
[19:39] <BlueProtoman> I just have a blank list of drivers.
[19:39] <Simkin> Floyd42: it seems reckless.
[19:39] <xskydevilx> Simkin, God damn it.
[19:39] <MiJyn> Simkin, why doesn't the linux version of skype work?
[19:39] <Simkin> MiJyn: it works, it's just old
[19:40] <MiJyn> Simkin, what functionality do you need?
[19:40] <Stereocaulon> x_, are you on a laptop using a Synaptic compatible touchpad?
[19:40] <Simkin> MiJyn: not me, xskydevilx
[19:40] <GuestPl> Any good slideshow software anyone would recommend?
[19:40] <x_> Stereocaulon, yes, but i am using mouse
[19:40] <Simkin> GuestPl: google docs
[19:40] <david__> I believe that's where I am, there's a Makefile in this folder and when I type the command make, it lists a list of possible command. Is it possible that there is no uninstall target for a project?
[19:40] <Floyd42> simkin: I see.  So according to you, downloading the Google Chrome installer from Google Chrome's official website and installing it is reckless.  What nonsense.
[19:40] <MiJyn> xskydevilx, what functionality do you need of Skype that the linux version doesn't have?
[19:41] <xskydevilx> MiJyn, To be realistic, video calling doesn't work for me at all.
[19:41] <BlueProtoman> Any tips?  Come on, I really need to fix my graphics drivers quickly.
[19:41] <eutheria> oh i love the way all but skype in the top panel selection works correctly
[19:41] <david__> there's also a setup.py, not sure if I used that when I installed it but maybe, been a few days ago
[19:41] <MiJyn> xskydevilx, what doesn't work? What happens?
[19:41] <x_> Everyone, are you ok with Ubuntu scroll speed?
[19:41] <Simkin> Floyd42: why is that a better option than using the repository.
[19:41] <xskydevilx> MiJyn, It quits the app when I try to call someone.
[19:41] <Stereocaulon> x_, the Synaptic driver contains special settings to set scroll speed globally. This was confirmed recently in this post: http://www.linuxine.com/story/set-mouse-wheel-scrolling-speed-globally
[19:42] <Simkin> Floyd42: think of all the problems not using repository causes.
[19:42] <xskydevilx> MiJyn, Video call, that is.
[19:42] <Simkin> Floyd42: including distribution upgrades.
[19:42] <MiJyn> xskydevilsx, try running it in a terminal window, and see what comes up in the output
[19:42] <Simkin> orphaned files
[19:42] <Simkin> dependancy issues
[19:42] <MiJyn> Simkin, the google chrome .deb installs the repo
[19:42] <x_> Stereocaulon, i will have a look at this
[19:42] <Stereocaulon> x_, I do not have recent experience with this, since the last time I used a Synaptic touchpad was way back in 1997
[19:42] <david__> ok i remember, I used python setup.py install to isntall it.
[19:42] <likorat> Hi, is there any place where I could find doc about how to handle file tags in command line ?
[19:43] <MirkoKa> david__: yes, some don't have an uninstall target, what you can try is to install it again with "python setup.py install --record files.txt" and then see files.txt do know wich files it installed
[19:43] <MiJyn> likorat, could you elaborate on what you mean by file tags?
[19:43] <david__> then I just delete them?
[19:43] <pratz> guys i am in a real trouble now
[19:43] <Floyd42> simkin: for god's sake you doofus.  you do know that google chrome , when you install the file from hte website, automatically installs the repository on your system, don't you?  stop making so much noise without proper knowledge.
[19:43] <pratz> i can see every thing in japaness or chiness
[19:44] <MiJyn> pratz, could you tell us the problem that puts you in trouble?
[19:44] <pratz> i do not know what it is
[19:44] <xskydevilx> Is there any client that utilieses Skype in a nice interface?
[19:44] <pratz> all the os is converted to japaness
[19:44] <likorat> In nautilus, you can just right-click on a file and in the context menu a tags option appears, there you can add/remove tags for the file
[19:44] <Stereocaulon> x_, you are not the only one searching for that option. In the Old XServer configuration file there was something like VertScrollDelta, that be a place to start apart from the Synaptic specific solution.
[19:44] <Simkin> Floyd42: i had no idea.... that is why i asked you a question.
[19:44] <MiJyn> pratz, try removing the chinese and japanese codecs
[19:44] <Simkin> Floyd42: why are you being such a flagrant jerk?
[19:44] <MirkoKa> david__: yes, but better move them somewher else, just so you don't lose any files which you might want to keep
[19:44] <pratz> also the terminal fonts and every font in os is changed
[19:44] <MiJyn> xskydevilx, empathy?
[19:44] <pratz> how can i restore font and keyboard layout ?
[19:45] <xskydevilx> MiJyn, Empathy supports Skype?
[19:45] <MiJyn> pratz, what version of ubuntu do you have, and did you clean install or upgrade?
[19:45] <pratz> MiJyn: 12.04 clean install
[19:45] <BlueProtoman> Anyone?  Jockey-GTK?
[19:45] <MiJyn> xskydevilx, no, the skype protocol is closed-source
[19:45] <x_> Stereocaulon, ok thanks, looks like it won't work
[19:45] <david__> alright, and is there something else I need to remove like some kind of PATH that links the command with the folder of the executable?
[19:45] <MiJyn> pratz, you didn't have this problem in previous versions?
[19:45] <Stereocaulon> pratz, try finding a button marked: 出口
[19:45] <xskydevilx> MiJyn, Beautiful.
[19:45] <pratz> MiJyn: everything was running fine till in installed mintmenu
[19:45] <Floyd42> simkin: well, now you do.  and stop being such a pansy.  try acquiring some knowledge before questioning someone in an accusatory manner.
[19:46] <pratz> Stereocaulon: are you kidding me ?
[19:46] <Simkin> Floyd42: i asked why are you suggesting someoen downloading without using repisitories and you started berating me instead of just telling me the answer you gave me now........ it installs the repositories.
[19:46] <pratz> MiJyn: no
[19:46] <Roberto> Question: http://i.imgur.com/a7IH2.jpg   -- I don't need no source code so I can uncheck all those PPAs ?
[19:46] <MirkoKa> david__: at least that's possible, but for that you have to read the setup.py (if you can understand python code)
[19:46] <Stereocaulon> pratz, no, I'm trying to help you, those characters mean Exit.
[19:46] <MiJyn> xskydevilx, yeah, don't you love how people make closed-source apps and people like you and me have a heck of a time trying to find an alternative? :P
[19:46] <Simkin> Floyd42: maybe you should nap
[19:46] <MiJyn> pratz, could you try to remove mintmenu?
[19:46] <Floyd42> simkin: i've said all i have to to whom i have to.  stop trolling and educate yourself.
[19:46] <totesmuhgoats> hi friends
[19:47] <xskydevilx> MiJyn, Exactly. Well if only a lot more people used Google Talk.
[19:47] <pratz> MiJyn: I removed it already
[19:47] <totesmuhgoats> I have some updates available, but when I run sudo apt-get upgrade it says that some packages will be held back and does not update them
[19:47] <MiJyn> xskydevilx, or open-source protocols :D
[19:47] <pratz> Stereocaulon: but where do i find them ?
[19:47] <totesmuhgoats> how can i get it to complete the update?
[19:47] <MiJyn> pratz, purged?
[19:47] <kanapka> MiJyn: when i choose 'install flash' in flash-doctor it ask me about the bitrate, then shows a few pop-up windows and closes them too fast for me to read them
[19:47] <pratz> MiJyn: yes
[19:47] <david__> I can give it a shot.  My windows background assumed there was a central place where all Path are defined
[19:47] <MiJyn> kanapka, hmm... I should update it then
[19:47] <lgp171188> totesmuhgoats: probably some of the packages have unsatisfied (yet) dependencies.
[19:48] <MiJyn> kanapka, try Floyd42's suggestion of using google chrome
[19:48] <xskydevilx> MiJyn, As long as it works on Linux, it fits me. And Google will always work on their Linux versions, since Chrome OS is Linux based. Take a look at Flash for Linux. Chrome is the only browser that'll update the versions.
[19:48] <xskydevilx> MiJyn, That's nice of us to do, right?
[19:48] <zvacet> totesmuhgoats: sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[19:48] <xskydevilx> MiJyn, *them, I mean.
[19:48] <MiJyn> xskydevilx, not nice of adobe to do it
[19:49] <Stereocaulon> pratz, where you would look for the logout button, the placement for this button differs between Desktop Environments. I use LXDE, but you are probably running Unity, aren't you?
[19:49] <kanapka> MyJyn: can in be because i've done su root in console only (and i'm logged as another user)? i'm dl-in chrome now
[19:49] <totesmuhgoats> zvacet: won't that update me to 12.04?
[19:49] <zvacet> totesmuhgoats: no
[19:49] <xskydevilx> MiJyn, Adobe are really jerks when it comes to Linux. They litterally are flippin' us off every time they do something like that.
[19:49] <Stereocaulon> xskydevilx, amen to that.
[19:49] <pratz> Stereocaulon: no class gnome desktop
[19:49] <MiJyn> kanapka maybe. I'll try to update the script so that it'll work with newer versions
[19:49] <pratz> Stereocaulon: but i restarted my computer for 3-4 times now
[19:50] <pratz> the same thing
[19:50] <MiJyn> xskydevilx yeah, I'm so happy the W3C guys made HTML5 :D
[19:50] <Stereocaulon> pratz, in the logon screen you can select which language you want to start.
[19:50] <totesmuhgoats> zvacet: thanks, it seems to be working now. hopefully this will resolve my issue
[19:50] <MiJyn> xskydevilx I don't get why people still use flash when HTML5 is ready
[19:51] <xskydevilx> MiJyn, Cause most sites use it. Such as YouTube.
[19:51] <david__> how do you get the path of an executable in the command line?
[19:51] <johnnyonflame> For whatever reason, ubuntu is detecting a random HDD accelerometer on my notebook as a Joystick
[19:51] <MiJyn> xskydevilx yep! If only they could make all videos use HTML5
[19:51] <johnnyonflame> making EVERY SINGLE program that uses joystick mad
[19:51] <MiJyn> david__ try the which command
[19:51] <pratz> Stereocaulon: so , you mean to say i should logout now and try again
[19:51] <pratz> Stereocaulon: will try that
[19:51] <david__> there, thx
[19:51] <xskydevilx> MiJyn, Good thing you don't know where I work for as a designer ;)
[19:52] <MiJyn> xskydevilx where?
[19:52] <x_> Is there anyone who use chromium on cinnamon here?
[19:52] <xskydevilx> MiJyn, It starts with Y, and it's with an E.
[19:52] <MiJyn> x_ you have a problem?
[19:52] <xskydevilx> *ends
[19:52] <vespakoen> Hey guys, I probably have the strangest question of the day. I have a macbook pro, and made it a dual-boot with Ubuntu (reFit) now I want to install snow leopard in a VM (VirtualBox) in Ubuntu, I think this should be easier? since I am on a Mac already, does anyone have experiences with this? or installing Mac OS X in a VM ?
[19:52] <MiJyn> xskydevilx Awesome!
[19:52] <totesmuhgoats> brb
[19:53] <mathias> Sidewinder: Found the problem. A bug in the postinsall script.
[19:53] <x_> MiJyn, close button is on left side
[19:53] <xskydevilx> MiJyn, Sh.. Don't tell anyone.. I am supposed to be anonymous here.
[19:53] <krababbel> vespakoen: not possible I believe
[19:53] <greensimian> Using Empathy, does anyone know how to turn of the channel notifications?  So many people coming and going
[19:53] <xskydevilx> :P
[19:53] <zvacet> totesmuhgoats: good  :)
[19:53] <MiJyn> xskydevilx yeah, anonymous... a whole IRC log of people can see that :P
[19:53] <x_> MiJyn, i want to move it right side
[19:53] <MiJyn> x_ oh, that'a window manager issue
[19:53] <vespakoen> krababbel, have you tried yourself?
[19:53] <MiJyn> x_ do you use the system title-bars or chrome's (chromeless) title bars?
[19:53] <xskydevilx> MiJyn, Meh. They can't call me and complain about the layout, at least. I am getting off-topic..
[19:53] <mguy> I'm trying to install 12.04 from the 64-bit CD I just downloaded. I have two hard drives in my system (sda 750gb and sdb 250gb), disk utility recognizes both drives but the actual installer won't let me install to sda
[19:54] <pratz> Stereocaulon: wtf , it shows english there
[19:54] <mguy> I was using both drives in 11.10
[19:54] <krababbel> vespakoen: no, I read virtualbox doesn't support maxos
[19:54] <pratz> Stereocaulon: no ways this is bad
[19:54] <pratz> Stereocaulon: how can i restore the fonts ?
[19:54] <MiJyn> xskydevilx, well, if you can convince them to migrate all of their vids to HTML5, everyone is going to be happy (except for adobe :P)
[19:54] <krababbel> vespakoen: but you can ask in #vbox
[19:54] <vespakoen> Yeh trying there already
[19:55] <vespakoen> it actually has a Mac OS X Server option in there, and it is possible to install leopard
[19:55] <x_> MiJyn, it is so ugly when use "system title bar" option checken in chromium
[19:55] <xskydevilx> MiJyn, Adobe can shove it up theirs.. I wish Flash just died, and companies started making animated ads in HTML5.
[19:55] <johnnyonflame> how can I disable a joystick mapped to /dev/input/js0?
[19:55] <vespakoen> but for "normal" computers, you have to install some EFI stuff, I think, since i am on a mac, i dont need that stuff, but it looks like i am the only one trying this hehe
[19:55] <Pici> !offtopic | xskydevilx
[19:55] <x_> MiJyn, there is a space between tabs and titles
[19:55] <kanapka> Floyd42 & MyJin: google chrome's flash works fine, thanks a lot for your help guys. for some reason I thought I can't get chrome for linux, only chromium
[19:55] <Stereocaulon> pratz, Are you only seeing Japanese text when you have selected English language?!
[19:55] <MiJyn> x_ weird... chromeless title bars are not supposed to be affected by a window manager
[19:55] <MiJyn> xskydevilx lol same
[19:55] <salvatore> italian
[19:55] <xskydevilx> Pici, Sorry.
[19:55] <Floyd42> kanapka: you're welcome.  glad it's working.
[19:56] <Pici> !it | salvatore
[19:56] <x_> MiJyn, do you use cinnamon too?
[19:56] <pratz> Stereocaulon: firs t of all I only have english language when i log out
[19:56] <salvatore> tank
[19:56] <pratz> Stereocaulon: and is there no way to reset the fonts or language ?
[19:56] <MiJyn> x_ no, I use unity (but I should try cinnamon soon)
[19:57] <azertyui> bonsoir
[19:57] <azertyui> hehehe
[19:57] <azertyui> hello there
[19:57] <x_> MiJyn, try it! it is fast and cool :D
[19:57] <vespakoen> try xmonad =D it is fast and cooler
[19:57] <MiJyn> x_ fast? I'll use it then!
[19:57] <Stereocaulon> pratz, fonts should be a problem, language however...To my knowledge the unity packages come standard with English.
[19:58] <infecto> is there anyway to have sftp only access for a user and allow them to create a folder in their root directory?
[19:58] <krababbel> I see Ubuntu uses a low quality sound resampler by default. Pulse usually uses a medium quality resampler.
[19:58] <johnnyonflame> how can I disable a joystick mapped to /dev/input/js0?
[19:58] <Talisman> moin
[19:59] <pratz> Stereocaulon: yes might be fonts is the problem
[19:59] <MiJyn> johnnyonflame, can't you just disable it in the game using it?
[19:59] <xtremox> hi
[19:59] <AnonymousPenguin> Ive got no sound through my speakers only headphones in Ubuntu 12.04 Ive checked alsamixer, updated, and have gone through Ubuntu's troublshooting procedure and have uploaded results to  http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=0e3a9312543b6e1cdeb05c58bc20ba9feb2d0c1a    I see the alsa versions are slightly different where it says it should be the same, and I am running 3.2.0-24, I found lots of sound probs on google but noth
[19:59] <AnonymousPenguin> ing that has resolved it yet.
[19:59] <FloodBot1> AnonymousPenguin: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[19:59] <Stereocaulon> pratz, since ubuntu-desktop is only a metapackage, you might try uninstalling that and reinstalling them. Like so: sudo apt-get remove ubuntu-desktop && sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop. After that that, just log off and on again
[19:59] <xtremox> how to configure my isdb-t tv digital usb card?
[19:59] <MiJyn> AnonymousPenguin Try the Sound Troubleshooting Guide in Multimedia and Video section of ubuntuforums.org
[19:59] <johnnyonflame> MiJyn, Not that simple, the apps I want to use it in doesn't allow that
[20:00] <Talisman> is anyone else also having problems with vmware building the vmnet module on 12.04?  It's complaining about : /usr/src/linux-headers-3.2.0-24-generic-pae/arch/x86/include/asm/highmem.h:61:6: note: expected ‘struct page *’ but argument is of type ‘const struct <anonymous>’
[20:00] <MiJyn> johnnyonflame, which apps?
[20:00] <pratz> Stereocaulon: ok will try that
[20:00] <johnnyonflame> mostly games and stuff
[20:00] <Stereocaulon> pratz, if I'm not mistaken, ubuntu will look which pakackages may be missing during that reinistall
[20:00] <krababbel> AnonymousPenguin: Pulse is on top of alsa, are you sure, you have checked sound settings?
[20:00] <johnnyonflame> a couple wine ones, some random native ones
[20:00] <johnnyonflame> and a few projects o' mine
[20:00] <pratz> Stereocaulon: hope for the best dude
[20:01] <Talisman> I haven't been able to compile this module since the upgrade from 11.10 to 12.04
[20:01] <MiJyn> johnnyonflame, well, if you make the projects, why don't you add an option to disable it?
[20:01] <Talisman> hence, I cannot run vmplayer
[20:01] <pratz> Stereocaulon: i reinstalled it should i restart now ?
[20:01] <johnnyonflame> MiJyn, the projects are not the only ones affected
[20:01] <Stereocaulon> pratz, reinstall should not be neccesary, a simple logoff/ logon should suffice
[20:02] <xtremox> my card is a siano sms nova b isdb-t usb card me-tv is not works :(
[20:02] <Stereocaulon> pratz, reboot should not be neccesary, a simple logoff/ logon should suffice
[20:02] <pratz> Stereocaulon: ok
[20:02] <AnonymousPenguin> krababbel  I added pulse yesterday to try to make sure someing wasnt off.
[20:02] <AnonymousPenguin> sorry about the flood
[20:02] <MiJyn> johnnyonflame, hmm... can you unplug it?
[20:03] <krababbel> AnonymousPenguin: why added? it is there by default.
[20:03] <spaceneedle> When I click an icon off the launcher--the windows opens but it's in the lower right corner. I want it to open up in the middle of the screen or at the top corner.
[20:03] <johnnyonflame> MiJyn, no, I can't, it's an accelerometer built in my laptop's HD
[20:03] <krababbel> AnonymousPenguin: did you look in sound settings, output device?
[20:03] <johnnyonflame> that's the whole problem
[20:03] <AnonymousPenguin> the procedure i used was at help.ubuntu .com I check to see if there is any thing different
[20:03] <johnnyonflame> it is detecting the accelerometer as a joystick and causing all sorts of havok
[20:03] <pratz> Stereocaulon: no dude say thing
[20:04] <Roberto> Question: http://i.imgur.com/a7IH2.jpg   -- I don't need no source code so I can uncheck all those PPAs ?
[20:04] <x_> i am using cinnamon. is it ok if i completely remove unity?
[20:04] <MiJyn> johnnyonflame let me look up what an accelerometer is :P
[20:04] <pratz> Stereocaulon: i guess something wrong in fonts
[20:04] <mathias> I have installed 12.04 64 bit and it looks like Unity "steals" keys like M-b in gnome-terminal for me.
[20:04] <pratz> Stereocaulon: any idea what should i do now ?
[20:04] <greensimian> Anyone have issues connecting to Windows SMB shares after upgrading to perverted pangolin?
[20:05] <johnnyonflame> MiJyn, basically a sensor that tells the device's angle
[20:05] <greensimian> I just get prompted for my password over and over and over
[20:05] <Stereocaulon> pratz, you mean: same thing? Could you please copy paste some of the text, so I can read it to make sure it's Japanese or gibberish. If it's Gibberish it could be a font problem, otherwise the problem lies elsewhere
[20:05] <johnnyonflame> I pitch my notebook forward, it goes forward
[20:05] <Roberto> x_ why u must remove Unity ?
[20:05] <MiJyn> johnnyonflame, interesting that a laptop should have that
[20:05] <greensimian> I think maybe my samba got borked in the upgrade
[20:05] <MiJyn> johnnyonflame, I don't think I can help you then, as I have no experience with that. Sorry!
[20:05] <x_> Roberto, i don't want to take its updates
[20:06] <LinuxMonkey> MiJyn: in hard drive speak the accelermeter is a device that will detect rapid changes in speed and park the drive to prevent damage to the hard drive in event of a fall
[20:06] <AnonymousPenguin> i ran pavucontrol and it told me i had to apt get first it shows a soound bar like its there but muted
[20:06] <johnnyonflame> well, it is mainly used to detect frantic movements so that the HDD is stopped, preventing further damaging
[20:06] <greensimian> greensimian:
[20:06] <johnnyonflame> but IT SHOULD NOT be detected as a gamepad, I wonder who added this to ubuntu ._.
[20:06] <greensimian> johnnyonflame: Are you using your computer on a trampoline?
[20:06] <MiJyn> LinuxMonkey, ah ok, I see
[20:06] <Roberto> x_ you might like it...one day
[20:06] <AnonymousPenguin> krababbel yes I tried analog and digital  to see if that was it
[20:07] <MiJyn> greensimian LOL
[20:07] <johnnyonflame> greensimian, No, and this is why IT IS NOT turned off, but it PREVENTS damage
[20:07] <aleprovencio> can anyone please tell me how can I disable alt+<something> calling a menu accel for a specific app? or maybe all accels for a specific app?
[20:07] <JonathanD> MiJyn: my laptop also has one.
[20:07] <pratz> Stereocaulon: wtf even google is opens in that language now
[20:08] <Stereocaulon> pratz, please copy-paste some of that "language", so I can make sure.
[20:08] <MiJyn> johnnyonflame, what software did you install? Ubuntu does not have it detected as a joystick by default
[20:08] <johnnyonflame> I did not install anything
[20:08] <Stereocaulon> pratz, this might help you: http://askubuntu.com/questions/132347/ubuntu-12-04-gnome-classic-language-turned-into-chinese-how-do-i-change-it-back
[20:08] <johnnyonflame> It used to do it on my clean ubuntu 12.04 install
[20:08] <sekt0r> anyone familiar with glftpd installation
[20:08] <MiJyn> johnnyonflame, what version of ubuntu, and is it clean install or upgrade?
[20:08] <johnnyonflame> clean 12.04 xubuntu install
[20:08] <krababbel> AnonymousPenguin: I'd look if your hardware is supported, maybe it needs special parameters in the default.pa file. See if your soundchip is actually recognized correctly.
[20:09] <Gosset_Inofensiu> Hello everybody, does anyone have Audio/Video/Image/Text/ISO Convert 0.98 working properly on Ubuntu 12.04 with Gnome Classic????????
[20:09] <pratz> Stereocaulon: http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/41/screenshotfrom201205080.png/
[20:09] <pratz> Stereocaulon: i think this is font issue
[20:09] <Gosset_Inofensiu> http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Audio%2BVideo%2BImage%2BText%2BISO+Convert?content=92533
[20:10] <drdozer> hi - I'm still unable to get my ubuntu system to boot from the hd
[20:10] <drdozer> it hangs after grub but before any logs are touched
[20:10] <drdozer> no network is brought up
[20:10] <drdozer> ctrl+alt+delete reboots
[20:10] <pratz> Stereocaulon: this might be font issue because from what i can see is some are chagned and some are not
[20:11] <LinuxMonkey> johnnyonflame:  you ver plan on using a joystick?
[20:11] <Stereocaulon> pratz, no, it's definitely no font issue. the text you are showing me in the screenshot is Japanese, so it cannot be a font issue. Did you try that link I've sent you? It's about someone struggling to switch their system from Chinese to US English and that might really help you.
[20:11] <AnonymousPenguin> krababbel just google supported hardware for it ?
[20:11] <johnnyonflame> LinuxMonkey, yeah I'm trying to use a joystick
[20:12] <johnnyonflame> but it keeps getting detected as js1
[20:12] <bobk> what kind of life left for 10.04
[20:12] <johnnyonflame> and the accel as js0
[20:12] <MiJyn> johnnyonflame, where is the js1 file?
[20:12] <johnnyonflame> /dev/input/js1
[20:12] <johnnyonflame> and /dev/input/js0
[20:12] <Stereocaulon> pratz, correction, it's Chinese, just like in the link I've sent you.
[20:12] <LinuxMonkey> perfect johnnyonflame  gimme a minute ill check if I have something for ya
[20:12] <krababbel> AnonymousPenguin: yes, for alsa and pulse. they have a wiki too, and irc channels
[20:12] <MiJyn> johnnyonflame, ok, try removing those files
[20:12] <johnnyonflame> thanks alot LinuxMonkey
[20:13] <Talisman> no takers on my issue?
[20:13] <pratz> Stereocaulon: can you please send me the link again
[20:13] <pratz> Stereocaulon: because all fonts are occuping more space
[20:13] <bobk> what kind of life left for 10.04?
[20:13] <pratz> and the screen is full on fonts
[20:13] <pratz> Stereocaulon: please send me the link again
[20:14] <Talisman> bobk, afaik, it's 18 months support for an LTS version
[20:14] <Stereocaulon> pratz, just compare these: 出口, でぐち <= you should see a lot of text with similar forms like this if it were Japanese.
[20:14] <Talisman> so you're already on 2 years
[20:14] <AnonymousPenguin> Krababbel  Ok , thanks for the help
[20:14] <Stereocaulon> pratz, this might help you: http://askubuntu.com/questions/132347/ubuntu-12-04-gnome-classic-language-turned-into-chinese-how-do-i-change-it-back
[20:14] <bobk> so what happen to 10.04 after that?
[20:14] <Talisman> bobk, idk, honestly
[20:14] <bobk> what version are u using
[20:15] <pickleddoe> greensimian: Hey there
[20:15] <Talisman> I've just started using it, so I went woth 11.10 and then upgraded to 12.04
[20:15] <Talisman> bobk, ^
[20:15] <krababbel> AnonymousPenguin: no problem, haven't done this in a while though. What soundchip is it? Realtek?
[20:15] <greensimian> pickleddoe: Sup
[20:15] <mguy> Is there any kind of formatting or partitioning I need to do to get Ubuntu to recognize my HD? It is not listed in the installer
[20:15] <Stereocaulon> pratz, the language of your screenshot is actually that: Classic Chinese. When I look at the characters for exit, they make sense, so it cannot be a font problem, instead it's a locale problem
[20:15] <mguy> Shows up in dmesg though
[20:16] <dlentz> !lucid | bobk
[20:16] <krababbel> mguy: what is your hd?
[20:16] <mguy> WD 750GB SATA on port 1, it recognizes my 250 on sata port 3
[20:16] <mguy> Disk Utility shows both dries
[20:17] <bobk> so what happens after that to 10.04, can a person still use it?
[20:17] <dlentz> bobk, yes, but you won't receive any more updates
[20:17] <krababbel> mguy: did you choose 'along windows' or something? Is the 750 the first drive to boot in BIOS?
[20:17] <dlentz> !eol
[20:17] <Stereocaulon> bobk, running 10.04 without updates is not safe after a while.
[20:18] <bobk> hmmmm so how many of u are happy with this 12.04?
[20:18] <MiJyn> bobk, I certainly am :D
[20:19] <MajorM> Hello I've been trying to install Skype, So i download the Ubuntu 64 package and installed it using the command "sudo dpkg -i packagename.deb" but while the command was running i showed that error occurred with skype, but when i click the dash home i can find the Skype icon but clicking it do nothing also i started to get message at the right side of the upper bar it says "an error occurred please run the package manager or use apt-get to see what's wrong 'e
[20:19] <MajorM> rror : Broken Count>0' that usually mean installed packages have unmet dependencies " any suggestion is that message caused by skype set up  ??
[20:19] <Stereocaulon> bobk, 12.04 still contains a few bugs, but nothing that will break my system.
[20:19] <APoulos> Hey guys, I could use some help with a script that makes directories based off of file names - Im trying to make this a bash script that works from Nautilus, anyone able to help? PM me if so.
[20:19] <Stereocaulon> bobk, I only upgraded today. I did have some upgrade issues, but they were minor and most of them were easy to fix.
[20:20] <MiJyn> MajorM try using: sudo apt-get -f install
[20:20] <Stereocaulon> APoulos, try #bash
[20:20] <APoulos> Stereocaulon: thanks man
[20:20] <MajorM> MiJyn what does that do ?
[20:20] <railbait> I have a VPS that's back on 10.10 Maverick. I'd like to do a dist-upgrade. Should I just back up my data/home directories and give it a whirl? I've never tried it before
[20:20] <MiJyn> MajorM, it tries to fix any package problems
[20:20] <guntbert> APoulos: and don't expect 1:1 support in any channel :)
[20:20] <MiJyn> railbait just backup everything and clean install
[20:21] <ubuntu-chat-logg> that normally helps
[20:21] <APoulos> guntbert: yeah I know man, lol, haha
[20:21] <MiJyn> railbait you don't ever want to upgrade, trust me
[20:21] <railbait> MiJyn: Yeah the support at this service is pretty good; they're quick
[20:21] <railbait> MiJyn: Gotcha
[20:21] <Stereocaulon> APoulos, np, just make sure you read the tutorials on tldp.org first as a minimum. That channel will only help you after you have done some research of your own...
[20:21] <mguy> krababbel: It was leftover raid meta data, dmraid -rE fixed it
[20:21] <ubuntu-chat-logg> upgradeing does not work
[20:21] <greensimian> MiJyn: Upgrading does seem to screw everything up
[20:21] <ubuntu-chat-logg> backup data on dropbox clean install
[20:21] <MajorM> @MiJyn Thanks I'll try
[20:21] <dlentz> railbait, might as well install 12.04, if you upgrade to 11.04, you'll have the same issue in 5 months
[20:21] <bobk> how long do u think it will take for 12.04 to settle down and work as smooth as 10.04
[20:22] <Stereocaulon> APoulos, in fact the #bash channel also has a bot, though that one is not quite as sophisticated as ubottu here ;-)
[20:22] <ubuntu-chat-logg> i only install 3 programs dropbox and skype
[20:22] <krababbel> mguy: thanks
[20:22] <ubuntu-chat-logg> ops 2 programs
[20:22] <drdozer> I'm getting "/etc/mtab: Input/output error" on my usb drive that I've booted from
[20:22] <drdozer> is there a way to repair this file?
[20:22] <LinuxMonkey> johnnyonflame:ok i got some info.lool can you do a "xinput list" and paste the info in a pastebin
[20:22] <MiJyn> greensimian yeah, I spent 30 hours trying to fix my broken computer (to which I just broke more lol)
[20:22] <APoulos> Stereocaulon: I know a bit of bash, Im no dummy, just need a little helping hand
[20:22] <mneptok> railbait: dist-upgrade does not move you between releases.
[20:22] <MiJyn> drdozer try rebooting
[20:22] <guntbert> bobk: usually after the first "point" release  12.04.1   -  last one was about july
[20:22] <mguy> krababbel: It'd be nice if it told you what the problem was instead of just not showing it in the list :(
[20:22] <drdozer> MiJyn: no joy - it persists across reboots
[20:22] <BaconAttack_> Hey so sometimes I randomly lose access to write files anywhere. As an example I'll try to paste a file to desktop and it says that directory doesn't exist. A restart usually helps but that's not very convenient. Any ideas?.
[20:23] <pratz_> Stereocaulon:  thanks dude that was helpful
[20:23] <Stereocaulon> APoulos, in that case, you should feel right at home there. It's mostly a very friendly channel.
[20:23] <pratz_> Stereocaulon: some chiness was set to it
[20:23] <mneptok> railbait: to go from 10.10 to 12.04 you have to go through 11.04 and 11.10 along the way.
[20:23] <MiJyn> drdozer, hmm, could you pastebin the contents of the file?
[20:23] <bobk> how smooth is it to upgrade from 10.04 to 12.04?
[20:23] <APoulos> railbait: oh before you do a dist-upgrade - I suggest you go `sudo apt-get -s dist-upgrade
[20:23] <dlentz> bobk, by the time lucid goes eol ubuntu 12.04.2 bugfix will be out
[20:23] <Stereocaulon> pratz_, did it solve your issues? Are you back on EN again?
[20:23] <johnnyonflame> LinuxMonkey, http://pastebin.com/9F1anHRw
[20:23] <MajorM> i got this "Failed to fetch http://ftp.snt.utwente.nl/pub/os/linux/ubuntu/pool/main/libp/libproxy/libproxy1_0.4.7-0ubuntu4_i386.deb  403  Forbidden"
[20:23] <pratz_> Stereocaulon: yes dude , thanks
[20:23] <MiJyn> bobk, well, you have to go to 10.10, then 11.04, then 11.10, then 12.04, which will lead up to something totally broken
[20:23] <johnnyonflame> even my videobus and webcam are detected as weird stuff
[20:23] <drdozer> MiJyn: no - when I try to cat it, it prints out "cat: /etc/mtab: Input/output error" - I can't get at the content of the file
[20:24] <pratz_> Stereocaulon: but i guess this might be a bug
[20:24] <Stereocaulon> pratz_, glad to help you :-)
[20:24] <dlentz> MiJyn, you can upgrade fropm one lts to the next
[20:24] <MiJyn> drdozer, even sudo cat /etc/mtab?
[20:24] <drdozer> MiJyn: yes, even sudo
[20:24] <pratz_> Stereocaulon: really wiered, was using 10.04 for 3 years and never had any problems
[20:24] <MiJyn> dlentz, really? well, still, there would be problems
[20:24] <mneptok> one last time people. "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" DOES NOT move you between release.
[20:24] <Stereocaulon> pratz_, in that case, do you know what might have caused it?
[20:24] <MirkoKa> drdozer:  your usb drive is (hopefully just slightly) damadged, try an fsck from a livecd
[20:25] <MiJyn> drdozer, try running: stat /etc/mtab
[20:25] <MiJyn> drdozer or sudo stat /etc/mtab
[20:25] <pratz_> Stereocaulon: any ways thanks again, for bringing me and my os back to normal
[20:25] <Talisman> bobk, I really don't know...
[20:25] <bobk> i don't mind messing with this stuff but the poor X-windows users i'm trying to convert aren't going to like the messing around with it:(
[20:25] <drdozer> MirkoKa: "stat: cannot stat `/etc/mtab': Input/output error"
[20:25] <Talisman> bobk, I'm having issues with it right now with no resolution.
[20:25] <railbait> MiJyn, mneptok: Thanks for your help! I will continue on correctly
[20:26] <MiJyn> drdozer, what version of ubuntu do you have, and did you clean install or upgrade it?
[20:26] <MiJyn> railbait no problem :D
[20:26] <drdozer> MiJyn: it is an 11.04 bootable usb drive made yesterday
[20:26] <Stereocaulon> pratz_, np, those things can be frustrating. I just got my JP Input back online after having to remove and reinstall the entire ibus system...
[20:26] <azertyui> hello there
[20:26] <mneptok> MiJyn: it's not an upgrade error. try to dial back the "i hate upgrades" stuff a bit, please.
[20:26] <MiJyn> drdozer, try installing it
[20:26] <nintet> i get no sound in VMM
[20:27] <azertyui> what are the program require for compiling a package ?
[20:27] <MiJyn> nintet, VMM?
[20:27] <LinuxMonkey> johnnyonflame: this is weirder by the second. I dont even see your accelerometer or joystick in the list
[20:27] <nintet> no sound in guest OS
[20:27] <MiJyn> nintet, oh, Virtual Machine?
[20:27] <drdozer> MiJyn: I don't really want to - I'm trying to repair my primary hd that has stopped booting and don't want to loose all my data on that disk
[20:27] <Stereocaulon> nintet, what guest OS are you using?
[20:27] <mneptok> drdozer: boot from live media and fsck the USB install.
[20:27] <nintet> kqemu winXP
[20:27] <nintet> driver is installed
[20:27] <azertyui> what are the program require for compiling a package ?
[20:27] <guntbert> !compile | azertyui
[20:27] <nintet> i can hear a slight noise when a sound plays, but it is just line level noise
[20:28] <drdozer> mneptok: ok, so I need to make a bootable usb drive to repair my bootable usb drive that I made to repair my hd?
[20:28] <johnnyonflame> LinuxMonkey, ikr, it gets weirder by the second
[20:28] <Stereocaulon> nintet, qemu emulates an entire computer. Did you select any soundcard?
[20:28] <mneptok> drdozer: no, you make a CD or DVD. or install to external disk. or install to USB flash media.
[20:28] <nintet> yes ac97
[20:28] <MiJyn> drdozer, try using a livecd of something lighter, like lubuntu or xubuntu
[20:28] <nintet> and installed the driver
[20:28] <nintet> windows thinks it is working
[20:29] <Stereocaulon> nintet, ah, yes, as standard as they come...AC'97. The alsa sink might not be connected yet. Could you check that?
[20:29] <nintet> must i do something in the host OS to get sound to play through the host sound stack?
[20:29] <guntbert> !info build-essential | azertyui
[20:29] <MiJyn> bbl
[20:29] <nintet> how do i connect alsa to the VM?
[20:30] <azertyui> i installed all that essential package
[20:30] <azertyui> but still got some errror
[20:30] <azertyui> i don't know what to do ?
[20:30] <azertyui> this is the error what i got : http://paste.ubuntu.com/974392/
[20:30] <Izinucs> I'm going through the update to 12.04 and it appears stuck "Downloading Dropbox.... 54%" with 86% done on the upgrade.. If it doesn't "move" in the next 30 minutes what are my options?
[20:30] <guntbert> !enter | azertyui
[20:31] <guntbert> azertyui: what are you trying to compile?
[20:31] <azertyui> yes to comôme
[20:31] <drdozer> mneptok: this *is* USB flash media that has the broken /etc/mtab - so should I give up on it and just re-make this bootable usb thumb drive, rather than trying to fix /etc/mtab?
[20:31] <azertyui> compile
[20:31] <azertyui> yes
[20:31] <MirkoKa> azertyui: sudo apt-get build-dep within the package's source directory
[20:31] <Stereocaulon> nintet, please pastebin the output of : "aplay -l" on the host system. And also try pacmd dump
[20:32] <guntbert> azertyui: *what* do you want to compile?
[20:33] <azertyui> customize vcl
[20:33] <azertyui> vlc
[20:33] <nintet> http://paste.ubuntu.com/974408/
[20:33] <MirkoKa> drdozer: no, it's not the mtab which is broken, but the flash media (bad sector most probably)
[20:33] <joren> Anyone happen to know where I might find a karmic repo?
[20:33] <krababbel> mguy: true
[20:34] <guntbert> azertyui: vlc is in the repos, no need to compile it yourself
[20:34] <drdozer> MirkoKa: ok, I will build a new usb pendrive
[20:34] <Stereocaulon> nintet. hmm, no virtual hardware there.
[20:34] <nintet> is there a community doc?
[20:34] <nintet> because i thought it would work out of the box

[20:35] <joren> OerHeks, thanks
[20:35] <Stereocaulon> nintet, for alsa? Sure, http://www.alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Main_Page
[20:36] <Joykiller> Ok!no problem! Thanks!!
[20:36] <drdozer> MirkoKa: any idea how I can try to fix my hd boot?
[20:36] <drdozer> that's why I was booting from a pendrive in the first place
[20:36] <OerHeks> joren also the adress for updates, see howto edit sourceslist >> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1190101
[20:36] <MirkoKa> drdozer: what problem does your hdd has?
[20:37] <jconnolly> anyone got love for a compiz issue?  I've got no window decorations (close/minimize/maximize buttons etc) https://gist.github.com/ba37588af18704c6b143
[20:37] <drdozer> MirkoKa: it gets to grub, I choose a kernel and it then hangs
[20:37] <jconnolly> compiz --replace yields that gist.
[20:37] <drdozer> MirkoKa: doesn't touch any logs, ctrl+alt+delete will reboot
[20:38] <drdozer> MirkoKa: the network interface doesn't come up - no ping/ssh, and the LEDs on the network cable look like it's just plugged in
[20:39] <MirkoKa> drdozer: choose the ubuntu line, press 'e', in the following list choose the line that begins with "linux", press 'e' again, then you can edit the line, go to the end and remove the quite and splash options, then press CTRL -x to boot. you will see booting details which hopefully tell where it stops
[20:40] <azertyui> do you get what i mean i got a customize vlc that's why i need to compile it myself guntbert

[20:42] <LinuxMonkey> johnnyonflame: for the life of me i cannot find the bit of code you need to put in your x config file to disable js0  but I remember thats how we had disabled my friends issue a ways back
[20:42] <guntbert> azertyui: I cannot understand how you can be able to "customize" it bit not to compile it - please look into the README  and INSTALL files in the source directory
[20:43] <MirkoKa> azertyui: most sources need additional *-dev packages with the headers for libraries for example. you need to install them too. either by running "sudo apt-get build-dep" inside the source directory or by manually install all required *-dev packages (listed in the README, INSTALL and similar files as guntbert said)
[20:43] <jconnolly> hm.  somebody had the same problem as me three weeks ago with no love.  http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/2012/04/14/%23ubuntu+1.txt
[20:44] <MirkoKa> azertyui: btw, if you're unfamilar with the process, don't use the source from the VLC website, but the one from the ubuntu repo. "sudo apt-get source vlc" after having enabled the source repos
[20:45] <azertyui> listen man MirkoKa
[20:45] <cannonball> Hello all, has there been a modification in sudo operation?  Since upgrading from 11.10 to 12.04, 'sudo apt-get install PKG' fails because /sbin and /usr/sbin are no longer in the PATH of my user.  Is there maybe some group I should set so that those automatically get inserted into the path?
[20:45] <Bytes> hello
[20:45] <azertyui> i got a customize vlc package from my isp
[20:45] <Bytes> I just installed Xubuntu and deleted all other partitions
[20:46] <Bytes> it works fine, but the grub menu doesn't show up
[20:46] <azertyui> he provide the source code for ubuntu pc
[20:46] <Bytes> does it not show it if no toher oses are isntalled?
[20:46] <Bytes> other*
[20:46] <MirkoKa> azertyui: so what's the problem? you've gotten all the info needed, install the required *-dev packages
[20:46] <azertyui> so i absolutly need to compile the package from it 's source
[20:46] <johnnyonflame> LinuxMonkey, I see, thanks tho
[20:47] <Bytes> if i have no other oses except for xubuntu, does it just boot into xubuntu without a grub menu appearing?
[20:47] <cannonball> by "fails" I mean that the post install script (for example) fails because ldconfig is not in the path.
[20:47] <azertyui> during the compile process, by running ./configure there are lots of broken package i got enough by installing each package individually
[20:47] <azertyui> and something i can't find the package so
[20:48] <azertyui> i need to do in other way
[20:48] <Bytes> hello?
[20:48] <gnubie> Bytes I believe you hold the shift key on boot to get grub with just xubuntu
[20:48] <owenll> Bytes: I have just ubuntu installed and don't see a grub menu
[20:48] <Bytes> oh okay
[20:48] <Bytes> so it only shows up when there's more than one os correct?
[20:48] <azertyui> do you get what i mean or are you still asking to install from its repo by doing an apt-get install vlc ?
[20:48] <elijah> possibly-useless-fact, when I started using Ubuntu around 7.04 about 5 years ago, this IRC channel had between 700-900 users in it. That's all.
[20:48] <LinuxMonkey> johnnyonflame: i know there are ways to go deep into the system and disable it too but that gets very complex
[20:48] <gnubie> Bytes I think that is the way it works
[20:49] <owenll> Bytes: yes - do you need to see the menu  for some reason?
[20:49] <MirkoKa> azertyui: do install the source code from the repos, then run "sudo apt-get build-deb" to install those required packages. then try to compile your sources again
[20:49] <Bytes> Okay thanks
[20:49] <guntbert> azertyui: ask your providerm how to do it - and please stay friendly, no need for calling us "listen man" ...
[20:49] <Bytes> Oh no owenll I usually dual boot so I see it, but I onyl have xubuntu now so i was just curious :P
[20:49] <tiago> Hi everyone!
[20:50] <wylde> would sudo dpkg --clear-avail && sudo apt-get update correct an issue like -- dpkg: error: duplicate file trigger interest for filename `/usr/lib/gtk-2.0/2.10.0/immodules' and package `libgtk2.0-0:amd64' -- ?
[20:50] <azertyui> well what are the step are you asking to do ? MirkoKa
[20:50] <fraterm> "Working as (perhaps poorly or unexpectedly or non-intuitively) Designed"
[20:51] <azertyui> i mean what do you mean by do install the source code from the repos ?
[20:51] <tiago> I wanted to ask you if you think that in "free -m" is it normal to have total: 3819 used : 155 with only a few apps open...
[20:51] <diegoviola> hi
[20:52] <MirkoKa> azertyui: "sudo apt-get source vlc"  but first you need to enable the source repository in the software center or synaptic
[20:52] <sirriffsalot> diegoviola: hey!
[20:52] <diegoviola> my gf is trying ubuntu for first time but she can't establish PPPoE connection
[20:52] <alankila> tiago: read 2nd line of free -m
[20:52] <alankila> it's much closer to the truth when it comes to how much memory actually is free
[20:53] <tiago> alankila: -/+ buffers/cache:        991       2827
[20:54] <alankila> tiago: so you have 991 MB used, 2827 MB free, when the largely unnecessary parts are eliminated.
[20:54] <Stereocaulon> diegoviola, Is your gf  using a modem or a modem/ router?
[20:54] <richtroye> azertyui Probably if you need to install your custom vlc, the best way is first to *build* the stock one, as MirkoKa has described; that will put the necessary build dependencies in place.  *Then* build your custom-vlc tree.
[20:54] <geekwani> while installing ubuntu, at the point where we select manual partitions, what option to select in "Device for Bootloader Installation" if I am dual booting with windows 7 -> /dev/sda (entire HDD) || /dev/sda5 (Partition where I install Ubuntu)
[20:55] <geekwani> ?
[20:55] <azertyui> i m sorry i forget my english
[20:55] <Stereocaulon> geekwani, normally you would choose /dev/sda
[20:55] <tiago> alankila: so you think that it is normal? I have skype, pidgin, clementine and chromim opened.
[20:55] <MiJyn> hello
[20:55] <diegoviola> Stereocaulon: she says that it says "connection established" but when she tries to browse something in Firefox it doesn't connect for her
[20:55] <diegoviola> Stereocaulon: modem
[20:56] <neo____> how to disable receiving a MAGIC PACKET ?
[20:56] <Stereocaulon> diegoviola, how is your modem connected to your computer?
[20:56] <diegoviola> Stereocaulon: i suspect something to do with the gateway?
[20:56] <geekwani> last time i tried that.. it caused conflicts with my recovery partition
[20:57] <Stereocaulon> diegoviola, could be the gateway, please pastebin sudo ifconfig
[20:57] <diegoviola> Stereocaulon: ok i will tell her to do that
[20:57] <SDr> hey #ubuntu,
[20:58] <geekwani> i ask because, if for any reason i remove/reinstall ubuntu, my laptop doesnt get spoiled (last time, my windows recovery partittion kept asking for grub to boot)
[20:58] <SDr> how can I check the runtime memory usage of an executed command?
[20:58] <diegoviola> Stereocaulon: thanks for the help
[20:58] <alankila> tiago: *shrug* yes
[20:59] <Stereocaulon> diegoviola, I've been on an ADSL helpdesk for 7 years. If you want me to, I can help you on PM
[20:59] <mneptok> SDr: top/htop
[21:00] <tiago> Alankilla: thanks!
[21:00] <MirkoKa> geekwani: there's an alternative way, a little hard to describe over IRC. install the bootmanager to the linux partition (/dev/sdaX). you won't be able to boot into ubuntu. instead boot a livecd, make a copy of the boot sector with dd, copy it to your windows partition and create an entry in the windows bootmanager to "boot" from the bootsector backup file.
[21:01] <diegoviola> Stereocaulon: thanks
[21:01] <diegoviola> Stereocaulon: unfortunately the help is not for me, it's for my gf :-)
[21:01] <geekwani> MirkoKa.. i'll try to figure that out.. i get what you are saying...
[21:01] <diegoviola> Stereocaulon: thanks for the help though
[21:01] <MirkoKa> geekwani: or, a method with i have not yet tried myself: instert a usb pen drive before you start the installtion, then install the bootmanager to that mbr, hopefully that will make ubuntu boot when you boot from the pen drive
[21:02] <diegoviola> Stereocaulon: i will get her to buy a router or something
[21:02] <diegoviola> Stereocaulon: i guess it will be easier for her
[21:02] <Paulo39> hi guys. i'm having a really annoying problem with fonts in firefox. as you can see here http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1890161/Temp/firefoxfont.png the fonts don't render correctly. do you know what can i do?
[21:02]  * APoulos is away: Away
[21:02] <Stereocaulon> diegoviola, she can contact me on this channel after half an hour. I'm taking a shower now, after that, I have one hour left.
[21:03] <diegoviola> Stereocaulon: ok thanks
[21:03] <geekwani> i proceeded with /dev/sdaX :P yes but that would make the laptop, pen drive dependent
[21:03] <geekwani> thx btw :)
[21:04] <Pimo> all libs are in /usr/libs? i am searching libSDL

[21:04] <LinuxMonkey> Paulo39: is yout text being zoomed by any chance?
[21:06] <Paulo39> LinuxMonkey, hum... i didn't think so, but i tried to do Ctrl - rigth now and, aparently, the fonts are fine!
[21:07] <LinuxMonkey> :)
[21:07] <Paulo39> but i'm having this problem so much time ago... do the firefox preserv the zoom in  the pages? maybe i zoomed it a month ago and i forgot to dezoomed it
[21:07] <LinuxMonkey> yeah Paulo39 ive seen it do that when i zoom sometimes. a simple zoom reset fixes it for me

[21:08] <endra> Hello
[21:08] <nintet> does anyone have sound working in a VM?
[21:09] <Paulo39> Yes! A zoom reset seems to work too! LinuxMonkey thanks a lot! i have this problem so long and i never found a solution on the web (and i was so simple!)
[21:09] <iceroot> !anyone | nintet
[21:10] <nintet> well i was told that sound would work out of the box in VMs with ubuntu 12
[21:10] <nintet> and it does not
[21:10] <iceroot> nintet: only with guest-addons (imo)
[21:10] <endra> How can I benchmark my cpu/hdd/memory/whatever to find out what the bottleneck in performance is?
[21:10] <Kanerix> Paulo39, ctrl-mousewheel
[21:11] <nintet> iceroot, like the driver for the virtual coundcard? it is installed
[21:11] <Kanerix> nintet, depends on what your sound hardware is, methinks
[21:11] <nintet> Stereocaulon told me that there is a bug in Pulse Audio that does not allow virtmanager to use alsa
[21:11] <nintet> http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2011-08/msg03325.html
[21:12] <nintet> the reason i switched from CentOS was because SElinux does not allow the VMM to access alsa

[21:13] <MirkoKa> I want to give Unity a chance, but I insist on having a decent panel with taskbar, so I add xfce4-panel to the session which works fine. Now I want to get rid of the top Unity panel. How can I stop it from being loaded during session startup? System-wide I tracked it down to /usr/share/dbus-1/services/*Panel.Service*, but ideally I would do that only for specific users. Ideas?
[21:14] <MirkoKa> Alternatively, How can I intercept the DBUS startup and provide my own Panel.Service.service DBUS service (or any DBUS service for the matter)?
[21:19] <aleprovencio> can anyone please tell me how can I disable alt+<something> calling a menu accel for a specific app? or maybe all accels for a specific app?
[21:20] <daveo> l
[21:20] <daveo> does anyone know any ebooks groups on here
[21:20] <MirkoKa> aleprovencio: i'm not sure (actually I don't think) that this is possible. do you have a specific app in mind?
[21:21] <krababbel> aleprovencio: you want to disable a key accelerator of a specific app? never heard you could.
[21:21] <Lorra> Hey everybody! Today I got into this very frustrating issue. I have Ubuntu 12.04 and when I type my password in at the login screen and it enter or click on the arrow...I get back to the login screen again (password is correct, I am able to log in via the command-line login). Does anybody have a clue on how to overcome that?
[21:21] <inashdeen> hi there, i need a help. initially while running a live ubuntu 12.04 cd, i manage to get the wireless running on my system. however, when i installed the OS, the system now report device not ready (firmware missing). what should i do?
[21:22] <Jordan_U> Lorra: Try using the Unity2D or failsafe GNOME session, my guess is that compiz is crashing at login.
[21:23] <Lorra> Jordan_U, done, I've gone through all possible sessions I have
[21:23] <Lorra> Jordan_U, doesn't make a differnce
[21:23] <Lorra> *difference
[21:23] <Jordan_U> Lorra: Have you tried logging in as the guest user?
[21:23] <Lorra> Jordan_U, no, why?
[21:24] <Jordan_U> Lorra: In case the problem is triggered by configuration files in your home directory.
[21:24] <Lorra> Jordan_U,I'll try that
[21:25] <Lorra> Jordan_U: thank you!
[21:25] <clh> hi all, i'm needing to increase the size of my / partition using a rescue iso for server 64bit.  The server is running in VMWare fusion, which I don't think matters.  But, all of the tutorials I see reference GParted and it looks like I just have parted.  I'm nervous about messing my system up.  Can this be done with parted, or do I need to download a live CD iso that has GParted?
[21:25] <Jordan_U> Lorra: You're welcome.
[21:25] <aleprovencio> MirkoKa, yes xchat
[21:25] <aleprovencio> MirkoKa, actually xchat-gnome
[21:26] <xangua> clh: you need to use a live cd, you can not resize a partition you are using
[21:26] <Jordan_U> clh: It can be done with parted (Parted and GParted share the same libraries, libparted, and parted actually handles displaying of error messages better than GParted in some cases).
[21:26] <xangua> clh: gparted has a standalon live version
[21:26] <totesmuhgoots> hi friends, i am using xubuntu 10.10 and wondering why aplay -L only shows my devices after I have logged into xfce. If I access the computer by ssh and leave it waiting at the login screen I cannot access alsa devices
[21:27] <altin> how can I add only the hhome directory for an existing user ?
[21:27] <altin>  besides mkdir command
[21:27] <Jordan_U> !eol | totesmuhgoots
[21:27] <aleprovencio> krababbel, i know i can change some menu accels by turning to false can_change_accel properties, but i'd like to know how to disable all of them
[21:27] <clh> xangua: ok, thanks
[21:27] <altin> can anyone help me plz ?
[21:27] <totesmuhgoots> Jordan_U, so, is this a bug because I am not running 12.04? or is it this way by design?
[21:28] <clh> xangua: is the desktop version suitable as a live CD?  I don't see an option for just "Live CD"
[21:29] <Jordan_U> clh: Yes, the Ubuntu Desktop CD is also a LiveCD.
[21:29] <clh> Jordan_U: thanks
[21:29] <Jordan_U> clh: You're welcome.
[21:29] <hellknight> anyone here using Ubuntu on AMD Fusion?
[21:31] <MirkoKa> aleprovencio: changing the conflicting XChat shortcuts is the only way I personally see
[21:31] <Bytes> is there a way to view your system info on xubuntu?
[21:31] <DigiDaz_> anyone had any trouble sshing an ubuntu box?
[21:31] <hellknight> really.. no AMD Fusion users??
[21:31] <MirkoKa> altin: why besides of the mkdir command? what's wrong with it?
[21:31] <totesmuhgoots> Bytes, what sort of info?
[21:32] <Bytes> like if it is 64bit, cpu, ram
[21:32] <Bytes> just how much of it like 4gigs of ram 2.20 ghz cpu
[21:32] <Bytes> not system monitoring
[21:32] <aleprovencio> MirkoKa, i can change most of them, except for those calling first-level items called by alt-<something>, such as alt+d takes to the discussion menu
[21:32] <MirkoKa> DigiDaz_: sure, what's your question?
[21:32] <totesmuhgoots> Bytes, at the command line you can try the uname command
[21:32] <metallico> DigiDaz_, once i forgot to open the port. check that
[21:32] <totesmuhgoots> that will show you your version of linux, 32 bit or 64 bit
[21:32] <totesmuhgoots> df -h will show you disk usage
[21:33] <totesmuhgoots> free -m will show you your memory usage
[21:33] <iandalton> I just installed Ubuntu 12.04 and GNOME Shell. I mapped Ctrl-1, Ctrl-2, etc. to switch workspaces, but it doesn't work. How can I start troubleshooting this?
[21:33] <hellknight> cat /proc/cpuinfo the info about CPU
[21:33] <Izinucs> I just killed the dropbox process that's been hanging my upgrade.. when I do a pidof dropbox no process is listed but it does show up in System Monitor still eating 50% of the CPU.. How do I kill it?
[21:33] <hellknight> isinucs, use kill -9 PID
[21:33] <aleprovencio> MirkoKa, knowing how to disabling this solves it :)
[21:33] <DigiDaz_> Basically, ssh to a number of boxes has been failing, the ports are opened and I have narrowed it down a little, even ssh @localhost fails
[21:33] <Daekdroom> hellknight, why don't you just ask your question right away? Using AMD Fusion or not does not limit anyone's knowledge.
[21:33] <hellknight> Izinucs, kill -9 PID
[21:34] <totesmuhgoots> Bytes, and dmesg | grep Processor
[21:34] <newby> I want to set BGR pixel layout with "sudo -u ubuntu gsettings set 'org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.xsettings'	'rgba-order'	'bgr'" from a root shell script for user ubuntu. Why wouldnt this work?
[21:34] <hellknight> Daekdroom, I just want to know if the HW acceleration is running fine on the Radeon cores
[21:34] <Bytes> type in grep processor?
[21:34] <Jordan_U> Izinucs: Did you try to have them switch to the right / left? GNOME3 (for me at least) defaults to creating work space 1 above workspace 2 (which confused me when ctrl+alt+right arrow first failed).
[21:34] <DigiDaz_> It appears to be some sort of timing out, it takes ages but will eventually log in if the default time out is changed
[21:34] <Izinucs> hellknight: I did that previously.. now there's no longer a pid number
[21:35] <newby> how would i script gsettings set for a specific user instead?
[21:35] <hellknight> I'm thining about getting a AMD Fusion based netbook. So I need to know if Ubuntu makes use of those radeon cores on the APU
[21:35] <Izinucs> Jordan_U: nope.. actually doing this on the kubuntu desktop .. but I have both desktops installed (same boot - just a toggle)
[21:35] <ironhalik> hmm, how is AMD llano support doing in Ubuntu?
[21:35] <hellknight> ironhalik, I've been asking the same question
[21:35] <ironhalik> huh, true :>
[21:36] <hellknight> Izinucs, check ps -e
[21:36] <Jordan_U> Izinucs: Sorry, my comment was meant for iandalton.
[21:36] <hanning> i just did some research on that llano issue
[21:36] <hanning> it seems that hw accelerated video is possible
[21:36] <Jordan_U> iandalton: Did you try to have them switch to the right / left? GNOME3 (for me at least) defaults to creating work space 1 above workspace 2 (which confused me when ctrl+alt+right arrow first failed).
[21:36] <hanning> but flash isn't
[21:36] <iandalton> Jordan_U: Ctrl-Alt-Up/Down work, but the ones I assigned to particuler workspaces, Ctrl-1/2/3/4/5, don't
[21:37] <iandalton> hellknight: http://www.sharpprogrammer.com/2007/03/useless-use-of-kill-9.html
[21:37] <hellknight> hanning, don't care about the flash. I just want XBMC to decode those 1080p rips
[21:37] <Izinucs> hellknight: that found it.. errrr.. killed now.. hopefully the update will continue normally
[21:37] <iandalton> Izinucs: see my comment to hellknight
[21:37] <irv> what version ubuntu for a laptop that doesn't support PAE?
[21:37] <hanning> there is xvba in xbmc working now
[21:37] <hanning> http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=116996
[21:37] <irv> it's centrino pentium M
[21:38] <hellknight> iandalton, thanks man..
[21:39] <gnubie> irv> http://www.webupd8.org/2012/05/how-to-install-ubuntu-1204-on-non-pae.html
[21:39] <metallico> DigiDaz_, anything interesting in auth.log?
[21:39] <hellknight> Earlier, the ATI card used to give me headaches with every damn distro. So I have no idea about it now. I've migrated to NVIDIA
[21:39] <Izinucs> iandalton: got it.. too late..
[21:39] <Jordan_U> irv: I believe that Lubuntu should still work.
[21:40] <hellknight> Is there something like VDPAU for ATI?
[21:41] <DigiDaz_> No, its really strange, its only suddenly started happening but across multiple boxes, I first noticed one night when a scheduled backup to a server using ssh failed. The logs look fine except that it takes ages for the login to happen, with default settings the login just times out. A few people on Linode seem to have had a few problems and an admin there said its something to do with pam_unix
[21:42] <DigiDaz_> The first message to appear after the long wait is a pam one
[21:43] <Stereocaulon> DigiDaz_, can't you find anything in the logs just before that pam prompt?
[21:43] <iandalton> Now if only I knew where to look to debug my keyboard shortcuts not working :/
[21:43] <DigiDaz_> I'll do a login now and pastebin the log
[21:44] <terinjokes> I have a server that needs some triage
[21:44] <Vooloo> I just added a program to /usr/local/bin .. how do I update ubuntus registry or whatever so I can launch it with gnome do, instead of the old binary that is in /usr/bin/ ?
[21:44] <Stereocaulon> iandalton, what are your keyboard shortcuts bound to? Gnome, X or xkb?
[21:44] <gauravgrt1> hey someone accidently removed nvidia drivers from my 12.04 now i am unable to get into my account to reinstall the drivers ...what can i do???
[21:44] <terinjokes> apt-get upgrade wants to remove libc-bin
[21:45] <gauravgrt1> it's urgent can someone help
[21:45] <Stereocaulon> gauravgrt1, can you still start a readable terminal?
[21:45] <iandalton> Stereocaulon: GNOME Shell
[21:45] <gauravgrt1> no what command shud i use to do that...
[21:46] <Stereocaulon> iandalton, you should be able to find the settings using gconf-editor then
[21:46] <Jordan_U> gauravgrt1: ctrl+alt+F1, or hold shift during boot and select the recovery mode entry from the grub menu.
[21:46] <iandalton> Vooloo: such programs rely on desktop entries http://standards.freedesktop.org/desktop-entry-spec/latest/
[21:47] <Jordan_U> gauravgrt1: Then run "sudo mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf-bak
[21:47] <terinjokes> i was upgrading from 11.10 to 12.04 and it failed, and not sure what to do
[21:47] <gauravgrt1> Jordan_U, :also will reinstalling the nvidea fix my problem...
[21:47] <iandalton> Stereocaulon: I can set the keybinding through the control panel, it just doesn't actually /work/
[21:47] <Stereocaulon> iandalton, did you upgrade or this a clean install?
[21:47] <iandalton> "Switch to workspace 1" is set to Ctrl-1
[21:47] <iandalton> Stereocaulon: clean
[21:48] <hever> hello. after an upgrade my wlan stopped working. It seems to be related that ndiswrapper somehow stopped working. modprobe ndiswrapper gives me FATAL: Moule niswrapper not found. As I think something went wrong during the installation, can you tell me which package does containt the ndiswrapper module?
[21:48] <trism> iandalton: you will need to use dconf-editor until bug 965921 is fixed
[21:48] <Stereocaulon> iandalton, check to see if there are any extra modifier keys defined
[21:49] <Stereocaulon> iandalton, ubottu is a nice bot, what? :-)
[21:49] <mayfive> Hi all; after logon ubuntu 12.04LTS just goes to blank screen.  nVidia 6150 LE graphic - will they fix that?
[21:50] <gpeart_> is there any difference with iptables  using -m conntrack --cstate with -m state --state?
[21:50] <iandalton> trism: thanks!
[21:50] <Simkin> i just upgraded ubuntu on the proxy server
[21:50] <iandalton> Stereocaulon: indeed
[21:50] <Resistance> gpeart_:  some systems dont have the conntrack module up (VPSes, for instance, not all have the conntrack module compatibility)
[21:50] <Simkin> it switched to squid3 from 2.x i suppose
[21:50] <Simkin> and it lost all the config files etc.. royally messed things up
[21:51] <Blah1> hey all.  i'm trying to create an ubuntu installer usb using the following instructions:   http://www.ubuntu.com/download/help/create-a-usb-stick-on-mac-osx
[21:51] <Resistance> gpeart_:  those do the same thing, but with different kernel modules for iptables
[21:51] <Simkin> why can't squid be upgraded properly
[21:51] <Blah1> however, after issuing the dd command, it sits there forever
[21:51] <Blah1> i've been waiting an hour.   if i use /dev/rdisk1 instead of /dev/disk1 it finishes fast but then the disk isn't recognized as a bootable medium
[21:52] <gpeart_> Resistance, thank you so much. is there a way I can configure for how long packets should remain in the state table ?
[21:52] <Resistance> gpeart_:  i'm not certain, you may want to wait for a response from someone more knowledgeable about that
[21:53] <dontknow> hi
[21:53] <dontknow> i installed gnome shell
[21:54] <dontknow> how can i install gnome shell extensions?
[21:54] <gpeart_> understood, thank you one more time
[21:54] <Stereocaulon> !enter | dontknow
[21:54] <gpeart_> dontknow sudo apt-get install gnome-shell
[21:54] <iandalton> dontknow: http://extensions.gnome.org
[21:54] <Stereocaulon> dontknow, what "extensions" are you referring to?
[21:54] <owenll> dontknow: install gnome- tweak tool and go to extension.gnome.org
[21:55] <iandalton> owenll: dontknow doesn't need gnome-tweak-tool for that; the site have built in extension management
[21:55] <owenll> typo extensions.gnome.org
[21:55] <dontknow> owenll, Stereocaulon, extensions.gnome.org says your gnome is not new
[21:55] <owenll> iandalton: it's very handy
[21:55] <irv> gnubie: thanks :]
[21:55] <irv> jordan: lubuntu?
[21:55] <eutheria> does anyone know a method to make the global menu always visible at the top?
[21:56] <phibxr> eutheria, plant your mouse cursor there and never move it. that's the only one I've found. it really should be an option. :)
[21:56] <iandalton> owenll: but not for the task dontknow is asking about. you can't even uninstall extensions from g-t-t
[21:57] <eutheria> phibxr, yes it should, i hate guessing where menu options might be
[21:57] <Jordan_U> eutheria: Pressing option should show the menu as well, though still not permanently.
[21:58] <dontknow> owenll, i see, the problem was in chromium. i can install extensions directly in extensions page :D
[21:58] <Stereocaulon> dontknow, it seems that this extensions site only caters for those who use the latest and the greatest Gnome 3.2.
[21:58] <nintet> what is the package for pasuspend?
[21:58] <dontknow> Stereocaulon, i can install them now :D
[21:58] <eutheria> this is my last complaint about unity, i would say unity is now better than gnome shell and cinnamon
[21:58] <iandalton> Stereocaulon: the latest and greatest is GNOME 3.4. What are you using, 3.0?
[21:58] <Stereocaulon> iandalton, I wouldn't know, I don't use GNOME.
[21:59] <dontknow> Stereocaulon, click and play was active in chromium, i allowed for extension site and i can install them now :D
[21:59] <Floyd42> It's all subjective, isn't it.   LXDE suits me fine and can be controlled with keyboard or mouse
[22:01] <eutheria> ideally i would like all notifications from applications to be in the top panel not the launcher
[22:01] <Floyd42> You're assuming I'm using Ubuntu with Unity.  That's incorrect.
[22:01] <eutheria> and i would be happy with a simple button to bring up an application menu
[22:01] <Floyd42> stereocaulon: You're assuming I'm using Ubuntu with Unity.  That's incorrect.
[22:01] <Talisman> Floyd42, fluxbox is great if you like mouse navigation.
[22:01]  * Talisman has been using it foe about 6 years
[22:02] <gauravgrt1> still no progress....i  don't know why ubuntu doesn't let me open my own account
[22:02] <Floyd42> talisman: Fluxbox is awesome, I agree.  Very minimalistic, lightweight, yet functional.
[22:02] <Talisman> Floyd42, trudat
[22:02] <Floyd42> gauravgrt1: what are you trying to do?
[22:02] <Stereocaulon> Floyd42, why should I assume that you use anything specific? I'm just reacting to your preference for a mouse-controlled Desktop.
[22:02] <Talisman> Floyd42, it does work with ubuntu as well.. I've tried it last week,
[22:03] <gauravgrt1> Floyd42:hey someone accidently removed my nvidia drivers from my computer and now i can't even log into my own account
[22:04] <Floyd42> talisman: Righto.  I'm on SL though.  I run Ubuntu in Virtualbox if I need any of the latest software and stuff ..
[22:04] <iandalton> gauravgrt1: switch to a TTY
[22:04] <Talisman> SL? slackware?
[22:04] <iandalton> ctrl-alt-F1
[22:04] <dontknow> could someone refer my name and say something, i wil try something
[22:04] <Floyd42> Talisman: Scientific Linux, it's a rhel clone ..
[22:04] <iandalton> dontknow: sup
[22:04] <Talisman> ah right.
[22:04]  * Talisman keeps away from RHEL with a 10 foot barge pole
[22:04] <owenll> dontknow: try this
[22:05] <Stereocaulon> Floyd42, yes that distro is really stable, if a bit barebones.
[22:05] <eutheria> Talisman, sadly a lot of corporations have deployed rhel
[22:05] <Talisman> aye, I know right.
[22:05]  * Talisman is pushing gentoo and my colleague is pushing centOS
[22:05] <Jordan_U> !ot
[22:05] <Floyd42> stereocaulon: It's meant to be a distro but I use it on my laptop anyway.  Software's a bit outdated, that's all.  Very stable however, as you say.
[22:06] <eutheria> Talisman, rhel's slogan should be, proving linux can be more expensive and worse than windows, much much worse
[22:06] <Floyd42> stereocaulon: *server distro (forgot to type the word)
[22:06] <nintet> i get no sound with a VM in ubuntu 12
[22:06] <Talisman> eutheria,  I agree with that.
[22:06] <ano123> this doesnt belong here, but how can i make all those joins and leaves not appear? :D using irssi
[22:06] <paulmaidment> Hi all
[22:06]  * Talisman also has VM problems with 12.04
[22:06] <eutheria> Talisman, however you have got to understand that a lot of these guys who deploy rhel come from a solaris back ground and think it is wonderful, compared to solaris they used they didn't have to compile apache themselves!!
[22:06] <gauravgrt1> iandalton: i did but why can't i login through the login screen
[22:06] <iandalton> https://duckduckgo.com/?q=irssi+ignore+join
[22:06] <Talisman> eutheria, rofl
[22:06] <paulmaidment> question regarding crash of lightdm, am I in the right place?
[22:07] <Jordan_U> Floyd42: eutheria: Please move offtopic discussion to #ubuntu-offtopic.
[22:07] <iandalton> gauravgrt1: maybe your xorg.conf is hosed?
[22:07]  * Talisman hides from Jordan_U
[22:07] <Talisman> ^_^
[22:07] <iandalton> Or rather, incompatible with whatever free driver you're using now
[22:07] <Stereocaulon> Talisman, I run CentOS 6 on my VPS, runs quite well, but there are some packages that I miss there. Well, my Desktop runs tripleboot Ubuntu12.04, Haiku and for some games: WinXP SP3 behind a very restrictive firewall.
[22:07]  * Talisman heads off to sleepy land anyway...
[22:07] <Talisman> ciao
[22:07] <tiago> Hello everyone! I wanted to know if it's normal in "free -m" to have Mem: 3819 - used: 2391 /// ane buffers/cache - used: 1324 - free 2495.  I'm running Ubuntu 12.04 under Gnome 3.4 and I'm with a few apps open such like skype, pidgin, clementine, chromium and xchat...
[22:07] <iandalton> brb
[22:07] <Stereocaulon> Talisman, good night
[22:07] <Floyd42> jordan_u eutheria: what discussion?  i wasn't having any off-topic discussion
[22:08] <Floyd42> tiago: sounds fine.  are you experiencing any problems?  why do you ask?
[22:08] <gauravgrt1> iandalton:someone told me to run this : mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/x11/xorg.conf.bak
[22:08] <Talisman> Stereocaulon, I've got to kick in a centos staging server for work soon... hope it all goes well.... thanks... I'll be back sometime soon :-)
[22:08] <paulmaidment> Hi all, anyone know where and how to diagnose a crashing problem with lightdm?
[22:08] <iandalton> bak
[22:08] <paulmaidment> It's very intermittent
[22:09] <iandalton> gauravgrt1: do you know what you're doing at the terminal?
[22:09] <DigiDaz_> My SSH problem pastebin, if anyone could have a glance please: http://paste.ubuntu.com/974577/
[22:09] <Stereocaulon> paulmaidment, do you have any logs that might tell something?
[22:09] <gauravgrt1> iandalton: sorry i am a newbie
[22:09] <Jordan_U> gauravgrt1: I was the one who told you to do that. Have you done it? Are you able to boot normally now?
[22:09] <pakattack> I need some serious help! So when
[22:10] <paulmaidment> @Stereocaulon, I have the output from dmesg and syslog
[22:10] <gauravgrt1> Jordan_U, :no i still can't boot in
[22:10] <paulmaidment> they seem to indicate "acpi client disconnected" at around the time of the error
[22:10] <Floyd42> paulmaidment: do you have ATI drivers?
[22:10] <paulmaidment> NVidia
[22:10] <Jordan_U> gauravgrt1: Did the mv command complete without any error message? What happens now when you try to boot?
[22:10] <paulmaidment> It's a GTX470 card
[22:10] <iandalton> gauravgrt1: I ask because it's easy to mess things up at the terminal
[22:11] <Stereocaulon> !enter | paulmaidment
[22:11] <iandalton> the command you quoted will move xorg.conf to a backup file
[22:11] <paulmaidment> sorry about the multi line guys!
[22:12] <Floyd42> paulmaidment: hmm.  I know someone who had the same problem but he had ati drivers.  reinstalling the ati drivers worked for him.
 Since i've been running 12.04 it seems like the computer fans or blowers (I don't know how to say it properly) are constantly on use
[22:12] <Stereocaulon> paulmaidment, that's OK It sounds like you are having PSU problems.
[22:12] <paulmaidment> it drops back to the shell during the crash, so that message indicates PSU issues?
[22:12] <pakattack> Whenever I try to open update manager or ubuntu software center it crashes and I get a red circle on the top right corner saying "an error occurred, please run Package Manager from the right-click menu or apt-get in terminal to see what is wrong. The error message was: 'error: brokencount>0'. This usually means that your installed packages have unmet dependencies". Please help nothing works
[22:13] <Floyd42> tiago: install the lm-sensors package.  then, monitor the cpu/hard disk temperatures to see if they are abnormally high.  if they are, it could be a bunch of reasons for it.
[22:13] <Stereocaulon> paulmaidment, well, it is connected to acpi, which is a power management interface...
[22:13] <Simkin> pakattack: try this, drop to cli and sudo apt-get upgrade
[22:13] <gauravgrt1> Jordan_U, :it just flashes to black screen and then back to the loginscreen without any errors
[22:14] <paulmaidment> Although, I do not experience any such crashes on Windows 7, so I suspect an issue with 12.04, maybe a bug?
[22:14] <Floyd42> tiago: 1) dust accumulation around the fan and heat sink 2) an errant process causing high cpu usage 3) incorrect or improper video card drivers .. could be any of these reasons
[22:14] <gauravgrt1> iandalton, : ok...
[22:14] <vadi2> How can I add a user to a group in ubuntu 12.04?
[22:14] <willfoo> hey..can anyone help to get fn+F8(switch display)  working after update  to 12.04 again?
[22:14] <gauravgrt1> Jordan_U, :ya it happened without any errors
[22:15] <Stereocaulon> willfoo, do any of the other Fn keys work normally?
[22:15] <willfoo> yes, that one for bight are working
 I've already installed lm-sensors, how do i run it? Thanks!
[22:15] <willfoo> or also hibernate does also working
[22:16] <Floyd42> tiago: open terminal, type sensors and press enter
[22:16] <iandalton> gauravgrt1: do you want to reinstall the nvidia drivers?
[22:16] <daninoz> hi
[22:16] <daninoz> i want to delete icons from the apps menu in gnome-shell. How can I do that ?
[22:16] <Floyd42> tiago: on another tab in terminal, type "top" and press enter.  see if any one process is hogging the cpu
[22:16] <willfoo> Stereocaulon: yes they do...but if I press fn+F8 it print just "p"...
[22:16] <Stereocaulon> paulmaidment, sometimes acpi can be a weak point for linux if the motherboard manufacturer uses a rare chipset that has poor support for linux.
[22:16] <paulmaidment> and the message (to give context, I am a programmer, admittedly not a system developer) seems to indicate that acpi has perhaps lost registration from the x-server (which would make sense as this would be used for clean shutdown, xserver receives message from acpi etc) So, I personally do not reckon it's a faulty PSU, more like a faulty lightdm configuration?
[22:17] <Floyd42> vadi2 see this tutorial for adding users to groups: http://www.liberiangeek.net/2011/10/add-users-to-existing-groups-in-ubuntu-11-10-oneiric-ocelot-2/
[22:17] <gauravgrt1> iandalton, : i ran the sudo apt-get install nvidia-current and it said they are upto date
[22:17] <paulmaidment> can I simply disable acpi and that would do it?
[22:17] <Jordan_U> gauravgrt1: Have you tried the Unity2D or GNOME Failsafe sessions? Have you tried logging in as the Guest user to test if that works?
 No sensors found!
[22:17] <tiago> Make sure you loaded all the kernel drivers you need.Try sensors-detect to find out which these are.
[22:17] <vadi2> Floyd42: thanks. Seems the process devolved, huh
[22:17] <iandalton> gauravgrt1: then what got uninstalled?
[22:17] <Stereocaulon> paulmaidment, you could try running the kernel with acpi disabled.
[22:18] <paulmaidment> is there an easy way to do that, a boot option?
[22:18] <gauravgrt1> Jordan_U, :ya i am logged in as the guest...
[22:18] <Stereocaulon> paulmaidment, btw, thanks for the context :-)
[22:18] <paulmaidment> you are welcome :)
[22:18] <gauravgrt1> iandalton, :wait
[22:18] <nintet> who in here has sound comming from their guest OS in a VM?
[22:18] <Floyd42> tiago: okay, looks like you gotta detect the sensors first ..
[22:19] <Stereocaulon> paulmaidment, yes here it is, just add: "noacpi nolapci"
[22:19] <Floyd42> tiago: to do that, open terminal and type "sudo sensors-detect"
[22:19] <ActionParsnip> paulmaidment: you can add the boot option:   noacpi
[22:19] <paulmaidment> cool, so just pop that into the grub options, update-grub and good to go?
[22:19] <Stereocaulon> ActionParsnip, ninja'd ;-)
[22:19] <ActionParsnip> :D
[22:19] <Floyd42> tiago: and answer YES to all questions.  at the end, type "yes" to have sensors-detect insert the modules into /etc/modules.  then run "sudo /etc/init.d/module-init-tools restart"
[22:20] <gauravgrt1> iandalton, :i ran the apt-get autoremove...
[22:20] <willfoo> Stereocaulon, Do you have any suggestion where to search regards fn keys?
[22:20] <gauravgrt1> iandalton, :some libraries were uninstalled
[22:20] <Stereocaulon> paulmaidment, yes, that should do the trick
[22:20] <paulmaidment> cool, will give that a try
[22:20] <pakattack> Whenever I try to open update manager or ubuntu software center it crashes and I get a red circle on the top right corner saying "an error occurred, please run Package Manager from the right-click menu or apt-get in terminal to see what is wrong. The error message was: 'error: brokencount>0'. This usually means that your installed packages have unmet dependencies". Please help nothing works
[22:20] <daninoz> how can i improve the wifi performance, it's like I loose the connection  every 2 minutes
[22:21] <ActionParsnip> Danio: try disabling ipv6
 in the questions some say that some people had problems, is that ok?
[22:21] <paulmaidment> just to double check, that dmesg regarding acpi, it would not occur during a crash that had nothing to do with acpi? as far as you know?
[22:21] <iandalton> gauravgrt1: to see what has been uninstalled, try running "dpkg --get-selections | grep deinstall"
[22:21] <Floyd42> tiago: it's mostly safe , yes
[22:21] <Stereocaulon> willfoo, actually I do. you can try looking up the xkb configuration.
[22:22] <hanning> did anyone in here ever use an ubuntu on a SDHC card longterm? i am curious about the actual lifespan
[22:22] <pakattack> Anyone plz I am desperate
[22:22] <gauravgrt1> iandalton, :initially the graphics were bad...but when i moved the xconf they are okay now...however i can't login but it doesn't say bad password
 isn't there any other way to check cpu temperature?
[22:22] <gauravgrt1> iandalton, :ok wait...lemme try...
[22:22] <ActionParsnip> pakattack: can you pastebin the output of:  sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade
[22:22] <Stereocaulon> willfoo, I don't know anything specific about it, just some fundamentals about what controls what in linux.
[22:23] <Floyd42> tiago: well, afaik on most linux systems, you will need to detect the sensors before it will monitor and display the values.  what's the problem though?
[22:24] <Stereocaulon> hanning, if you have the possibility, try to mount /var and the swap volume on another disk, maybe even a RAMdrive, depending on the amount of mem in the device/ box
[22:25] <nintet> when i play a sound in a VM i get a barely audible high-pitched line noise, does that mean that it is working?
[22:26] <daninoz_> how can i delete icons from the applications menu in gnome-shell ?
[22:26] <gauravgrt1> iandalton, :gnash-common,libboost-iostram 1.46.1,libboost-program-options1.46.1 and libboost thread 1.46.1
[22:26] <ActionParsnip> nintet: what are you using to virtualize?
[22:27] <nintet> virt-manager
 Since the script you are attempting to invoke has been converted to an
[22:27] <tiago> Upstart job, you may also use the stop(8) and then start(8) utilities,
[22:27] <tiago> e.g. stop module-init-tools ; start module-init-tools. The restart(8) utility is also available. module-init-tools stop/waiting
[22:27] <nintet> i guess kqemu
[22:28] <iandalton> gauravgrt1: none of those sound like they'd affect your video driver, hmm
[22:28] <iandalton> I dunno
 I guess all is fine
[22:28] <tiago> it says
[22:28] <H3Hlp> Whats the channel of backtrack?
[22:28] <H3Hlp> ??
[22:29] <gauravgrt1> iandalton, :i ran the history command and checked
[22:29] <Jordan_U> !backtrack | H3Hlp
 Core 0: +43.0ºC (high = +80, critic +90)
[22:29] <H3Hlp> Lol it says me that Im Banned
[22:29] <Stereocaulon> nintet, I think ActionParsnip means the guest OS...
[22:29] <H3Hlp> But im not banned
[22:29] <nintet> XP
 and the Core2 is +45 only
[22:29] <gormika> eta
[22:30] <jrib> H3Hlp: because you're root.  Login as a regular user and try again
[22:30] <Floyd42> tiago: sounds fine, within the safe temp .. easily
[22:30] <ActionParsnip> nintet: no, what are you using to virtualize? vmware? virtualbox?
[22:30] <H3Hlp> But I'm in backtrack I can't change my user
[22:30] <H3Hlp> Can I add a user?
[22:30] <nintet> the command line is "virt-manager"
[22:30] <altin> anyone knows where did they move this file  http://chrootssh.sourceforge.net/download/osshChroot-4.2p1.diff
[22:30] <jrib> H3Hlp: yes, create a new user
[22:30] <altin> or does any of you have it ?
[22:30] <ActionParsnip> H3Hlp: backtrack isn't supported here
 Yes, thanks man, people like you make Ubuntu better everyday
[22:31] <nintet> i assume it is a frontend for qemu with the kqemu extensions
[22:31] <H3Hlp> How?  useradd ''user''
[22:31] <joren> Hey, so I just updated to 10.04, and when I do a do-release-upgrade, it tells me nothing's available. Anyone know why that might be? Isn't 12.04 an lts?
[22:31] <ActionParsnip> !backtrack | H3Hlp
[22:31] <H3Hlp> passwd 'password'
[22:31] <Floyd42> tiago: aww you're very welcome.  always glad to spread the joy of linux :)
[22:31] <Stereocaulon> Good to see you again, jrib :-)
[22:31] <jrib> H3Hlp: adduser mynewuser
[22:31] <jrib> Stereocaulon: hi
[22:31] <ActionParsnip> jrib: backtrack isn't supported here dude
[22:32] <Floyd42> BrB
[22:32] <gauravgrt1> iandalton, :are there any logs that i can see in ubuntu...to get the error??
[22:32] <Resistance> !backtrack > jrib
 One last question! Which one of the following do you recommend? NVIDIA accelarated graphics driver (version current) or the post-release updates (version currente-updates)?
[22:32] <hanning> !mint
[22:32] <iandalton> gauravgrt1: ~/.xsession-errors, maybe?
[22:32] <hanning> no mint on freenode? :(
[22:32] <nintet> i am using qemu.
[22:32] <mirak> does USB cable quality matters ?
[22:33] <ActionParsnip> hanning: no, its a totally different channel on a totally different server
[22:33] <ActionParsnip> nintet: have you asked in the qemu channel?
[22:33] <Stereocaulon> hanning, the full name would be linuxmint, maybe that is the name of the channel?
[22:33] <gauravgrt1> iandalton, :also i read somewhere about the problem with the xauthority file in home folder can i remove it??
[22:33] <tridentfish_> I have a question that I can't seem to find answer to. I am wondering what it is called when you have an operating system on a server and your computer boots for the servers OS. I want to do it with ubuntu server 32 bit.
[22:33] <Bronze> !perl
[22:33] <SATop> marik yes but how much i dont know
[22:33] <nintet> well i asked people in here if they had sound and they all said yes that they have sound out of the box
[22:33] <iandalton> gauravgrt1: I don't know what that file is, so I can't say
[22:33] <ActionParsnip> tridentfish_: pxe booting
[22:34] <nintet> otherwise i would try a different host OS
[22:34] <iandalton> gauravgrt1: but it's usually safe to "mv somefile somefile.bak" temporarily
[22:34] <daftykins> tridentfish_: boot over the network? netboot?
[22:34] <sm1> nintet: you can use alis to search for channels using keywords .. /msg alis list *linux-mint* .. see /msg alis help list
[22:35] <wylde> !ltsp | tridentfish_  is that what you mean?
[22:35] <Stereocaulon> mirak, depends on what you are trying to connect to it. a wonky cable can affect both reliability and transfer speed
[22:35] <tridentfish_> like the systems they have at schools but just for home use.
[22:35] <Floyd42> tiago: to be honest, i have very little knowledge on Nvidia drivers.  I've never used them.  But I'm sure someone more knowledgeble here will be able to help..
[22:36] <wylde> tridentfish_: check out the links the bot posted above :)
[22:36] <Stereocaulon> tridentfish_, I don't know what you have at your school, but ltsp is widely used if the solution is linux based.
[22:37] <Stereocaulon> tridentfish_, please eleborate on the systems at your school so that we might guess better ;-)
 Ok! Thank you again! : )
[22:37] <ActionParsnip> nintet: worth a try, different guest OS, just to test
[22:38] <gauravgrt1> iandalton, :got it.... the .xsession-errors showed that there was some error with some line in .profile...
[22:38] <gauravgrt1> iandalton, :thanks for your help!!!!
[22:38] <iandalton> gauravgrt1: since it wasn't your xorg.conf, I'd recommend moving it back in place
[22:38] <iandalton> you're welcome
[22:38] <tiago> Hi everyone! Which one of the following do you recommend? NVIDIA accelarated graphics driver (version current) or the post-release updates (version currente-updates)?
[22:38] <gauravgrt1> iandalton:ok...ya i shud that...
[22:39] <tridentfish_> The Image is remotely stored and when you turn on the thin station the computer loads the image and run it. For what I have been just told it might be ltsp.
[22:39] <tridentfish_> but for windows.
[22:39] <Stereocaulon> tiago, I'm using the current version and it runs everything what I throw at it.
 I'm using the current too, but I was curious about the differences between this and the current-updates
[22:40] <ClientAlive> I have 2 questions about nfs (I'm setting it up on 12.04 server). (1) Do you still create a regular file system (like ext3 or ext4, ntfs) on the logical volume?  (2) If you plan to have one of your clients is Windows 7 accessing it, does it have to be a certain file system (like fat or ntfs) for it to be able to access it?
 Guess that trying is the only way to discover
[22:41] <Stereocaulon> tiago, you can just try one or the other without any harm I suppose (unless there are bugs in one of the drivers that can damage your hardware)...nVidia had one episode like that, but that was a long time ago.
[22:41] <wylde> tridentfish_: so you're here looking for a windows terminal server? Or wanting to host the image to boot at thin client to windows off of an Ubuntu server?
 I'll try it then, thanks!
[22:42] <Stereocaulon> tiago, just run a relevant benchmark along with the program you'll need it for so you can see what the difference is. Another tip would be to read the changelos.
[22:42] <Stereocaulon> tiago,  changelo>g<s.
[22:42] <lledet> i need a new command line ftp client. i have a bunch of bookmarks in ncftp, but i can't symlink it to share with other users because it unlinks the file when writing. any suggestions on a client that supports bookmarks ?
[22:42] <B|tchX> shhh she's here
[22:42] <gauravgrt1> iandalton: sry to bother you but a small problem...now the login screen is not displaying in proper resolution since i have moved that xorg.con file
[22:43] <tridentfish_> No. Haha. I want to run ubnutu remotely from the server.
[22:43] <ActionParsnip> lledet: the ftp command is in a default install
[22:43] <Stereocaulon> gauravgrt1, I thought that iandalton told you to place back your original xconf.org?
[22:43] <wylde> tridentfish_: ok, I'm trying to understand the "for windows" part from earlier.
[22:44] <wad> I'm in 12.04LTS. When I get an email, Ubuntu helpfully notifies me by popping open a notification in the top-right corner of my screen. I'd like to turn this off. Any of you guys know how to turn it off?
[22:44] <gauravgrt1> Stereocaulon, : ya i did...
[22:44] <iandalton> gauravgrt1: when you say 'moved', are you referring to moving it back?
[22:45] <iandalton> so you did 'mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf.bak /etc/X11/xorg.conf'?
[22:45] <dpb_> wad: are you using thunderbird?
[22:45] <ActionParsnip> wad: which email client do you use?
[22:45] <wad> dpb_, yes
[22:45] <wad> Thunderbird
[22:45] <Stereocaulon> tridentfish_, that sounds like a job for ltsp allright.
[22:45] <gauravgrt1> iandalton:mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf.bak /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[22:45] <gauravgrt1> iandalton, :ya
[22:46] <dpb_> wad: so in thunderbird menu, edit->preferences, you can change in the general tab the notification settings.
[22:46] <wylde> tridentfish_: I think I get what you mean. Yes LTSP is what you want. I run 2 thin clients on my home network from and ubuntu 12.04 server machine using it.
[22:46] <IntuitiveNipple> wad: In Thunderbird do Edit > Preferences > General "When new messages arrive" > "Show Alert"
[22:46] <B|tchX> sudo that first iandalton
[22:46] <ActionParsnip> wad: http://www.theopensourcerer.com/2010/02/09/indicator-applet-libnotify-support-for-thunderbird/
[22:46] <wad> I'll try it, thanks!
[22:47] <iandalton> B|tchX: if gauravgrt1 didn't sudo it and isn't root, it would report an error
[22:47] <Stereocaulon> tridentfish_, our office is also running ltsp. You'll need to be really selective when choosing apps to run on it, with as less overhead as possible.
[22:47] <iandalton> gauravgrt1: did it give an access denied error?
[22:47] <iandalton> or any error?
[22:47] <mohd> So , sary tried to assist me with my multimedia keys been disabled .. he pointed me to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Hotkeys/Troubleshooting .. but i got confused and few steps didn't not work for some reason!
[22:48] <tridentfish_> So what are the requirements I have a desktop that has 8 gb of ram and a decent cpu. It is a average gaming computer.
[22:48] <Stereocaulon> mohd, what kind of laptop/ keyboard are you using?
[22:48] <ActionParsnip> tridentfish_: you have a LOT more than required for Ubuntu
[22:48] <le_> hi
[22:48] <gauravgrt1> iandalton, :no i can now login to my account ...it's just the resolution problem at the logins screen...there are a few more errors shud i paste them...
[22:48] <wad> dpb_, IntuitiveNipple, ActionParsnip Thanks, that worked!
[22:48] <wylde> tridentfish_: your primary concern is the servers capaibilites as it's going to be doing all the real work.
[22:48] <Stereocaulon> tridentfish_, to give you an idea, our office server has about 128GB of RAM for 50 clients.
[22:49] <DigiDaz_> How about x2go, how does that compare to ltsp?
[22:49] <iandalton> gauravgrt1: I mean when you entered the "mv /etc/X11/..." command, did it give you an error?
[22:49] <paddy> i is there an /MIRC that can be used on ubuntu ?
[22:49] <paddy> -/
[22:49] <mohd> Stereocaulon: hey , it's a toshiba satellite M-100
[22:49] <Stereocaulon> tridentfish_, that same server has dual octocore 3GHz processors. So, it's quite a beast.
[22:49] <gauravgrt1> iandalton: no it ran properly ...
[22:49] <iandalton> Guest59487: MIRC is for Windows only. You might try Wine, or a Linux-native IRC client
[22:49] <DigiDaz_> paddy: xchat?
[22:50] <ActionParsnip> Guest59487: there are lots of native IRC clients, if you like the scriptability in Mirc, use irssi
[22:50] <Guest59487> i own a hosting company ActionParsnip so would need one that can do it all lol
[22:50] <iandalton> gauravgrt1: OK, hmm. So you can log in fine, and you can choose the resolution of your logged in session, but the login screen itself is lo-res?
[22:50] <tridentfish_> Ok thanks. For the help.
[22:50] <ActionParsnip> Guest59487: irssi can do most anything
[22:51] <iandalton> Guest59487: what does owning a hosting company have to do with an IRC client that 'does it all'? What do you want it to do?
[22:51] <Guest59487> okies that will do do i gotta do aptget for that or can i do it on Firefox ?
[22:51] <DigiDaz_> ActionParsnip: How do you find your LTSP? Does it restrict you much?
[22:51] <Stereocaulon> mohd, you might be the victim of this "bug": https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-settings-daemon/+bug/995185
[22:51] <Guest59487> i want to be able to to what i can do now on windows mirc iandalton
[22:52] <iandalton> Guest59487: what are you doing on windows mirc right now?
[22:52] <ActionParsnip> DigiDaz_: I don't have an LTSP.....
[22:52] <Guest59487> running a host company
[22:52] <Guest59487> i dont use url chat iandalton
[22:52] <Guest59487> i gotta use mirc
[22:52] <Stereocaulon> mohd, hehe, I see now that you are the reporter of that bug.
[22:52] <iandalton> mohd: bug 965921
[22:53] <DigiDaz_> Sorry, ActionParsnip, it was Stereocaulon
[22:53] <iandalton> Guest59487: what's url chat?
[22:53] <Guest59487> using a website to get to a chat iandalton
[22:53] <gauravgrt1> iandalton, :ya...it's just the login screen that is problemetic
[22:53] <Guest59487> eg www.urhost.domain/chat
[22:53] <Guest59487> that rubbish
[22:53] <dontknow> is there anyone here use gnome shell?
[22:53] <iandalton> Guest59487: you don't have to use mirc to avoid that
[22:53] <Guest59487> what else can i use ? iandalton
[22:53] <iandalton> what features of mirc do you use?
[22:54] <iandalton> dontknow: I do
[22:54] <iandalton> gauravgrt1: well if it worked fine after moving xorg.conf to a backup, go back to that I guess
[22:54] <Stereocaulon> DigiDaz_, well, ltsp runs over a network and networks tend to have overhead. On top of that, most implementations run the user space in a chroot environment, leaving little control over the actual processes.
[22:54] <dontknow> iandalton, did you just install gnome-shell or install another things?
[22:54] <mohd> Stereocaulon: according to /usr/share/doc/udev .. running /lib/udev/findkeyboards shows "AT keyboard"
[22:54] <bluebirdie> hi
[22:54] <gauravgrt1> iandalton, :ok,,,,
[22:55] <bluebirdie> is it safe to connect an ipod to ubuntu?
[22:55] <iandalton> dontknow: just gnome-shell
[22:55] <bluebirdie> is there special software to transfer songs?
[22:55] <wylde> !ipod | bluebirdie
[22:56] <dontknow> iandalton, ok. what gtk windows theme do you use?
[22:56] <bluebirdie> thanks wylde
[22:56] <Stereocaulon> bluebirdie, well, it runs closed software, so you'll never know :-P On a more serious note: yes, it is safe to do as long as you only access your music and no other files if you can get to them
[22:56] <DigiDaz_> I'm thinking more of multimedai, I used LTSP about 7 years ago in a primary school, I haven't implemented it since, it did the job then for what we needed it for. I'm looking to do something similar now for an office with remote workers, maybe stick something in the cloud but I'm not sure which technology yet
[22:56] <ActionParsnip> Guest59487: what do you use in MIRC?
[22:56] <mohd> iandalton: i look into it , although its not a shortcuts issue , its the multimedia keys on the the laptop.
[22:56] <iandalton> dontknow: Adwaita
[22:56] <mohd> Stereocaulon: sary reported a bug yes.
