[12:01] <snapdata> On Windows my sound card (Xonar DX) has a Wave Out 'input' device that can be used as a microphone to playback whatever's being transmitted to the Line Out. This is not available in Ubuntu. After many hours on Google and a few inquiries here I have yielded no results - not even a hint at whether or not it can be done. If anyone has any information they can share I would be very grateful.
[12:02] <Dr_willis> a microphone to playback... err.. you mean it echos out whatver the mic is hearing?
[12:02] <Socrate> After 12.04 installation grub2 doesn't show up during the boot process. I get only a purple screen. I tried to reinstall grub through grub-install and then give the update-grub command. However the situation stays the same
[12:02] <Dr_willis> Socrate,  but the system boots?
[12:02] <kandinski> dudes, what is a process called whoopsie doing in my ubuntu?
[12:02] <Socrate> Dr_willis, yes perfectly
[12:03] <kandinski> I have no x right now, trying to diagnose it, run htop, find whoopsie
[12:03] <snapdata> No, Dr_willis, say for example I'm talking with a friend on Skype and want to play an audio file for them. I would simply change my input to Wave Out and open the audio file in Windows Media Player.
[12:03] <marsfligth> DarwinSurvivor: seen that you are expert and kind, I'd ask you another question about the 3,4 GB barrier in Intel 32 bit architecture. What does Linux 32-bit when works on a pc with 8 GB for instance? Is it able to manage all the 8 GB or, it uses only the quantity under the 3/3,4 barrier? Thank you for the patient
[12:03] <Dr_willis> Socrate,  theres options in /etc/default/grub to set the differnt res/modes and even set a old-fashioned grub text menu - that may show up
[12:03] <Socrate> however i'm planning a double boot with windows and having grub "hidden" isn't good
[12:03] <stefg> Socrate: The 'official' method of intercepting grub during timeout is holding <left shift>. You might want to modify /etc/default(grub if you want a visible timeout
[12:04] <snapdata> Dr_willis: essentially the same as taking an auxiliary cable and plugging my "Line Out" into my Microphone jack.
[12:04] <Dr_willis> snapdata,   the various pulse audio tools. and/or jackd can do fancy tricks like that.   I belive creative called such a feature 'what you hear' in their windows tools.
[12:04] <Socrate> stefg, i tried with the left shift and infact i get "Grub Loading", however just after that the purple screen show up
[12:05] <Socrate> Dr_willis, i'll try to set my monitor resolution
[12:05] <Socrate> Dr_willis, thank you
[12:05] <Dr_willis> Socrate,   it could be grub is using some res the monitor cant handle.  - i always set mine to low res text mode.
[12:05] <Nobby> why can't i find Sun java in the software center of 12.04?
[12:05] <Dr_willis> !java | Nobby
[12:05] <snapdata> Dr_willis: I was actually using jackd for about an hour trying to figure out how it worked. The documentation provided no insight for someone with little expertise nor did any of the 'tutorials' I found that pertained exclusively to audacity/onboard audio and could not be adapted in any way that I know of.
[12:05] <stefg> Socrate: nvidia card? these tend to have problems with reso's over 800x600 in grub
[12:05] <Dr_willis> Nobby,  because oracle changed the licenses
[12:06] <Strav`> Hi. Anyone here having troubles with iwlwifi on 12.04?
[12:06] <Nobby> ah.. thanks!
[12:06] <Socrate> stefg, ati card a mobility 5850. However i got the same issue with both opensource drivers or fglrx
[12:06] <snapdata> Dr_willis, thank you for the information though. I appreciate it.
[12:06] <Dr_willis> snapdata,  jackd is complex.  ive only toyed with it.   you may want to check the askubuntu.com site to see if anoyne has a guide on 'playing music through skype' if skype is what you  plan on doing with it.
[12:07] <gwelter> marsfligth: Linux 32-bit can manage up to 64 GB if the kernel use the PAE functionality of the hardware. But there are still limitations like 2GB per process
[12:07] <Socrate> stefg, however thank you first i'll try to set a proper resolution
[12:07] <snapdata> Dr_willis, alright. Thank you very much!
[12:07] <Dr_willis> snapdata,  if using webcam and web-cam type chats. the 'webcamstudio' program (not in the repos i think) can let you do some amazeing tricks with a webcam,
[12:07] <Dr_willis> not sure if it works with skype properly or not.
[12:08] <gwelter> marsfligth: unless you have specific requirements I would recommend 64-bit if the hardware supports it, even if you have 4 GB or less
[12:08] <Nobby> its messing with my minecraft :P
[12:08] <snapdata> Dr_willis, I'll check it out, although it's not quite what I was looking for. None-the-less it's relieving.
[12:09] <Dr_willis> snapdata,  ive used webcamstudio to 'reroute' videos and stuff to my webcam (well it emulates a webcam) so people in chat rooms see videos, or other funny things i send
[12:09] <marsfligth> gwelter: thenks for the suggestion. I find strange, that on download page, Ubuntu suggests the 3 bit. I think that a lot of people are using the wrong OS version
[12:10] <snapdata> Dr_willis, what about audio?
[12:10] <gwelter> marsfligth: yes, apparantly they decided 32 bit would be a safe bet
[12:10] <marsfligth> **sorry not 3 bits, but 32-bit
[12:10] <Dr_willis> snapdata,  it has all sorts of plugins and tricks.
[12:10] <drvanon> DarwinSurvivor: I have done it but my netbook still cant  handle df spotify writer xchat and chromium
[12:11] <meraj> @all,can any one help me?
[12:11] <Dr_willis> snapdata,  i just used it mainly to send  videos of the grandkids  during chats
[12:11] <snapdata> Dr_willis, ah, okay. Sounds great. I'm checking it out now.
[12:12] <meraj> i installed skype in ubuntu bt nt able to get any skype option on my pc,so can u tell me ,how to get  chat option?
[12:12] <gwelter> marsfligth: although 64 bit software might take up a little more memory, there are slight speed gains due to double number of cpu registers and security can be enhanced due to the capabilities of the processor
[12:12] <bcuraboy> hi.my screen goes black after a while of non use.i had installed the xscrensaver but i've removed it.the energy settings are ok
[12:13] <bcuraboy> what could be the problem?
[12:13] <meraj> i installed skype in ubuntu bt nt able to get any skype option on my pc,so can u tell me ,how to get  chat option?
[12:13] <Dr_willis> marsfligth,  its suggested that way - to  make sure people get somthing that at least works..  its a known 'point of debate' and  its mainly a form of idiot-proofing.
[12:14] <lelamal> patience | meraj
[12:14] <stefg> Does anyone in here have experience with setting up a 64bit kernel in a 32bit system? I'm putting together a rescue system and need both flavors b/c with a 32 bit kernel i can't chroot to my actual sstem, but 64bit won't run on my Atom based machines.
[12:14] <meraj> dr_willis:i installed skype in ubuntu bt nt able to get any skype option on my pc,so can u tell me ,how to get  chat option?
[12:14] <Dr_willis> marsfligth,  theres talk of changeing it to 64bit reccomended..
[12:14] <lelamal> !patience | meraj
[12:14] <Dr_willis> meraj,  i havent used skype in years.
[12:14] <aJynks> dose anyone use code:blocks here?
[12:14] <bricktea> !notunity
[12:14] <aJynks> I have installed a recent SVN form the Pegui ppa .. but the contrib-plugins did not install.. anyone know how to install them?
[12:15] <DarwinSurvivor> marsfligth: I don't know, I haven't run 32 bit on high-ram computers myself. The only 32-bit machines I work on are netbooks with 2G or less
[12:16] <Dr_willis> Hmm. I have to wonder why the 'Lord Of Ultima' Game takes so long to install when aparently its just a link to a web-based game..
[12:16] <meraj> i installed skype in ubuntu bt nt able to get any skype option on my pc,so can u tell me ,how to get  chat option?
[12:16] <Dr_willis> meraj,  you could at least correct your spelling and puncation and be more clear if you are going to repeate every 30 sec. ;)
[12:17] <Dr_willis> 'not able to get any skype option' means what exactly?
[12:17] <Dr_willis> and Skype on Linux is Not as featured as the windows version.
[12:18] <DarwinSurvivor> bcuraboy: did you log out and back in after removing xscreensaver?
[12:18] <skramer_> meraj: You need to start skype first, else you will not be able to chat using Skype
[12:19] <bcuraboy> yes
[12:19] <bcuraboy> the only thing that remains installed is wallch
[12:19] <Strav`> Anyone else experiencing this bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/575492 ?
[12:19] <meraj> dr-willis: installation is completed  for skype but how to get connected with skype in ubuntu?
[12:20] <Dr_willis> meraj,  err.. run skype..  and use it?
[12:20] <railsraider> is there a way to make xfs partition on a live server with one partition on it?
[12:20] <marsfligth> Dr_willis: thanks for answering, but, I don' think that is an idiot point. to choose the right OS version it is the base, I think. so, I hope that Ubuntu makes a note close to the download button, that advise people with more than 3 GB of memory in total (RAM + video adapter), choose the 64-bit for a better Ubuntu experience. Do you agree?
[12:20] <Dr_willis> marsfligth,  they are 'idiot proofing'  not an idiot point...
[12:21] <marsfligth> Dr_willis: sorry, I'w wrong
[12:21] <Dr_willis> marsfligth,  most of the chats on the topic agree that  they should put forthe the effort to 'educate' the users - but people seem to get scared by 'techy terms and stuff like that'
[12:22] <gwelter> marsfligth: what a about: 32 bit cpus with more than 3 GB? it is possible...
[12:22] <Dr_willis>  The Move to a PAE kernel by default is also a supriseing change in the policy.
[12:22] <Dr_willis> that makes the  'you got lots of ram - be sure to get 64bit' a bit of a less requirement.
[12:23] <Dr_willis> but i still suggest using 64bit os on your 64bit hardware
[12:23] <gwelter> Dr_willis: yes, that was more controversional, but they didn't remove the non-pae, did they?
[12:23] <DarwinSurvivor> bcuraboy: can you create a new user account and try logging in with that and see if the problem persists? that will tell us if it's a system-wide or user-specific issue
[12:23] <Dr_willis> gwelter,  the default installer for ubuntu is pae. the lubuntu cd - uses non-pae it seems.
[12:23] <Dr_willis> gwelter,  theres unofficial ubuntu-non-pae cds out also.
[12:23] <gwelter> Dr_willis: hmm, only lubuntu?
[12:24] <Dr_willis> gwelter,  just skimmed an artical on it on webupd8 blog site. or omgubuntu!
[12:25] <DarwinSurvivor> weird, usually the only difference between fresh ubuntu/xubuntu/lubuntu/kubuntu is which DE packages are installed. very weird for the kernel to be modified....
[12:25] <gwelter> Dr_willis: i'll have a go in a few days on a non-pae laptop and see if ubuntu will install/run
[12:25] <tarelerulz> I can't get push to talk working in teamspeak on Ubuntu 12.04
[12:25] <Dr_willis> http://www.webupd8.org/2012/05/how-to-install-ubuntu-1204-on-non-pae.html
[12:25] <buddha_> dafug
[12:25] <buddha_> no one der
[12:25] <Dr_willis> DarwinSurvivor,  the default kernel differs now it seems.
[12:25] <aJynks> I have installed a recent SVN form the Pegui ppa .. but the contrib-plugins did not install.. anyone know how to install them?
[12:25] <buddha_> zenix?
[12:25] <meraj> skramer: can u tell me how to run skype??
[12:26] <buddha_> nyone here using zenix live cd?
[12:26] <gwelter> Dr_willis: thanks for the link
[12:26] <Dr_willis> DarwinSurvivor,  it could be they come with both.. the artical is a little vague ---> "You can also install Xubuntu or Lubuntu since both come with non-PAE Linux kernels,"
[12:26] <marsfligth> Dr_willis: I'll use 64, absolutely. i was just speaking about the confusion that a new user finds when is choosing what to download. to me, close to the download button, should be a hyperlink or a note, that in few words helps the new Ubuntu user to choose for the better
[12:27] <DarwinSurvivor> marsfligth: the problem is that a lot of users don't even know the difference between ram and hard drives
[12:27] <gwelter> marsfligth: users who don't have a clue about their hardware, will have the highest chance of a working system with 32 bit
[12:27] <Dr_willis> marsfligth,  with that logic everything would have 1000+ notes. :) and the company is trying harder and harder to make things as simple.. BEST would be for the installer to decide. :) but the move to pae-kernel makes it less of an actual issue.
[12:27] <skramer_> meraj: press Alt+F2 and type skype. Skype window should open & you have to give your skype user name and password to connect
[12:27] <OerHeks> buddha_, zenix is not ubuntu. seek support in a zenix irc channel.
[12:27] <Dr_willis> I rember the days befor installing Linux was a 'click next a few times and go!'  type setup
[12:28] <DarwinSurvivor> marsfligth: see http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/3336 for the brainstorm discussion.
[12:28] <BrianNie> I am come back. I tried reinstall the driver for VGA.But there are many problems.
[12:28] <sunil_> looking for an IRC channel for discussions on tools for software defined audio/video reception
[12:29] <BrianNie> The driver AMD supported for my computer can not install on ubuntu 12.04
[12:29] <buddha_> how do i get to zenix irc channel?
[12:29] <dlentz> BrianNie, what version of the AMD driver?
[12:29] <marsfligth> Dr_willis: should be interesting to put a java applet or some exe to check the system before to download, assuming that the new users come from m$. asus has something like that in his driver download page
[12:29] <Dr_willis> buddha_,  the zenix homepage may suggest some.
[12:29] <AgentSpock> RF interfacing
[12:30] <fidel_> AgentSpock: maybe #ubuntustudio for the audio-section
[12:31] <DarwinSurvivor> buddha_: please use zenix's support forum for help with zenix. since zenix is *not* ubuntu, we will be unable to help you here
[12:31] <meraj> skramer: thax
[12:31] <BrianNie> My computer is DELL inspiron 1526 and the VGA card is X1200. The card is not supported in the new driver.
[12:31] <gwelter> marsfligth: actually, the vmware esxi installer disc (atleast on v4.0) did a check for a 64 bit capable cpu, so it can be done
[12:31] <DarwinSurvivor> buddha_: their forums http://forums.zenix-os.net/ they also have a channel at #zenix, but it looks pretty empty (i'd recommend the forums)
[12:31] <marsfligth> anyway, this is not the right place to treat this question. i'll try to send an email to the Ubuntu team
[12:31] <buddha_> zenix doesn't have a similar channel?
[12:32] <dlentz> BrianNie, you don't need the proprietary AMD driver, open-source default driver works fine
[12:32] <marsfligth> thanks for the suggestio to all and for the links as well
[12:33] <BrianNie> Then I uninstalled the driver from ATI , reboot the computer. It worked.
[12:34] <DarwinSurvivor> dlentz: BrianNie was in earlier with unity problems (unity-2d worked so I suspected driver issues)
[12:34] <BrianNie> But now , It can work only 2D
[12:34] <DarwinSurvivor> BrianNie: http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/2012/05/09/%23ubuntu.html (timestamp: 7:20)
[12:35] <BrianNie> yes, I think it maybe the unity problem.
[12:35] <DarwinSurvivor> BrianNie: what happened when you had the driver installed?
[12:35] <parth_> Can any one help me knowing whether my nvidia card is used by ubuntu or not
[12:36] <DarwinSurvivor> parth_: the most effective way to find out is to try the live-cd.
[12:36] <fouchange> hello
[12:36] <fouchange> vous parlez francais
[12:36] <fouchange> ?
[12:36] <dlentz> BrianNie, have you looked at /var/log/Xorg.0.log (pastebin it)?
[12:36] <gwelter> !fr | fouchange
[12:37] <BrianNie> dlentz, let me see
[12:37] <parth_> DarwinSurvivor   what's the procedure
[12:37] <bricktea> so with the installation of 11.10 and the installation of gnome-shell and gnome-panel the gnome panel won't start
[12:38] <bricktea> the unity thingy works fine
[12:38] <bricktea> the gnome2 fallback doesn't
[12:38] <bricktea> !notunity
[12:39] <bricktea> and if I run gnome-panel manually this error arises (gnome-panel:5299): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_style_context_get: assertion `priv->widget_path != NULL' failed
[12:39] <bricktea> additionally one of my monitors is completely off
[12:39] <bricktea> like there is background (sometimes) but usually a grey background
[12:40] <gwelter> parth_: do you want to check the running installation or a possible new version?
[12:40] <bricktea> like a window failing to open up properly
[12:40] <parth_> i want to running installation
[12:40] <DarwinSurvivor> !livecd | parth_
[12:40] <gwelter> parth_: check your /var/log/Xorg.0.log to see which driver is loaded
[12:41] <DarwinSurvivor> !liveusb | parth_ (in case you have no cd's)
[12:41] <arnpro> hello, how can I change root password in recovery mode??
[12:41] <BrianNie> dlentz, where can I paste the Xorg.0.log file?
[12:41] <DarwinSurvivor> arnpro: you *can*, but you shouldn't have to. why do you need a root password?
[12:41] <DarwinSurvivor> BrianNie: paste.ubuntu.com
[12:42] <BrianNie> I saw many output like [   327.023] (EE) FBDEV(0): FBIOPUTCMAP: Invalid argument
[12:42] <arnpro> DarwinSurvivor: I really don't know, but today when trying yo log into my server, in some hosting, the root password failed, telling "access denied" and the hosting provider asked me to put into recovery mode and change it...
[12:42] <DarwinSurvivor> arnpro: you should't ever need the root password in an ubuntu installation, just use sudo instead
[12:43] <arnpro> DarwinSurvivor: sorry I'm not following, but I need like to change it and then put my server back online, without reinstalling anything
[12:43] <Dr_willis> some hosting sites do not follow the ubuntu reccomendations and use root. :()
[12:43] <jetienne_> q. i downloaded 12.04 iso from the site, now i would like to copy it on usb key and then install it on my PC, is there a link explaining how to do that ?
[12:44] <Dr_willis> jetienne_,  use a tool like unetbootin, or other tools from the pendrivelinux site.. is one easy way
[12:44] <Dr_willis> jetienne_,  they got tutorials also and other docs.
[12:44] <jetienne_> Dr_willis: thanks looking
[12:44] <DarwinSurvivor> arnpro: what kind of access do you have to it (it's remote right?) ex: can you access grub?
[12:44] <arnpro> DarwinSurvivor: this is what they say Recovery enables you to restart your server at any time in recovery mode, granting access to the data on your server which is no longer accessible over the internet using normal means. Thus, you can modify the system configuration and repair your server, making it fully available again.
[12:44] <parth_> what to do after doing live CD
[12:44] <Dr_willis> jetienne_,  if your pendrive is large enough - you can have several differnt disrtos on it :) and try them all.
[12:45] <DarwinSurvivor> parth_: run it and see if 3d stuff works :D
[12:45] <captine> hi all.  am pretty desperate.  my 12.04 laptop is working great, but every now and then, the screen seems to flicker.  need help on determining if this is refresh rates of sync issues?  am pretty new to linux, but did read something about v-synch on the weekend
[12:46] <DarwinSurvivor> !liveusb | jetienne_
[12:46] <parth_> can you provide detail I m also new to ubuntu
[12:47] <DarwinSurvivor> parth_: how much ram do you have?
[12:47] <parth_> 6 GB
[12:48] <abhinav_singh> i am using ubutnu 11.10 ..when ever i try to update it says "Warning You are about to install software that can't b authenticated! Doing this could allow a malicious individual to damage or take control of your system"..how do i fix it?
[12:48] <DarwinSurvivor> arnpro: ok, so your hosting provider's recovery mode gives you basically root access to the entire drive?
[12:48] <xangua> !gpgerr | abhinav_singh
[12:48] <arnpro> yes DarwinSurvivor , it's a dedicated server...
[12:48] <DarwinSurvivor> parth_: ok, then run the live-usb stick and open software center and install "gltron" it's a fairly small download (and will install into ram) and should give you an idea of how well your video card is supported
[12:49] <DarwinSurvivor> parth_: chances are it will either work VERY well or VERY badly
[12:49] <djszapi|tb> Hey! I have just installed the stock ubuntu 12.04 LTS, but I cannot seem to find the "wacom" packages after executing the "apt-cache search wacom" command. How shall I extend the default sources.list I have right after the installation ?
[12:49] <Dr_willis> libwacom-common - Wacom model feature query library (common files)
[12:49] <bmckenna[Fark]> after a bad upgrade to 12.04 (after logging in after restart, couldn't run any applications, icons missing from launcher/dash, general corruption) i have a pretty fresh install of 12.04 (i'm still learning :)). i'm having some issues with audio. i'm using the optical port on the motherboard to my speakers, which seems to work ok...front audio not so much.
[12:50] <djszapi|tb> these packages: http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=wacom&searchon=names&suite=precise&section=all
[12:50] <Dr_willis> i just see some libwacom packages
[12:50] <DarwinSurvivor> arnpro: ok, http://www.microhowto.info/howto/reset_a_forgotten_root_password_using_a_live_distribution.html and start with "chroot into the partition"
[12:50] <jetienne_> q. what is the difference between "desktop" and "alternate" ?
[12:50] <djszapi|tb> Dr_willis: how can I see them ?
[12:50] <bmckenna[Fark]> not sure that it worked with the old version...if i play around with the mixers, i can get the microphone input from the front audio jacks to play in the headphones, but that's it. :/
[12:50] <djszapi|tb> the current sources.list is incapable for that
[12:50] <parth_> why there is a need of live cd  I can do it without it
[12:50] <arnpro> DarwinSurvivor: thanks! I'll get on it
[12:50] <Dr_willis> i got every repo enabled  - dont recall needing to add many. but i do have a  lot of ppas enabled.
[12:50] <sirriffsalot> My USB isn't popping up anywhere I know of on a livecd... any ideas as to how to get access to it?
[12:50] <DarwinSurvivor> djszapi|tb: run "sudo apt-get update" first
[12:50] <djszapi|tb> done that quite a few times
[12:51] <djszapi|tb> this is the sources.list currently: http://paste.kde.org/473450/
[12:51] <Dr_willis> sirriffsalot,  see if its in the left side pane of the file manager, or mount it by hand
[12:51] <sirriffsalot> Dr_willis: how do I mount it by hand?:)
[12:51] <bmckenna[Fark]> if i change the output on the "output" tab of sound settings to "headphones" (there is an option) it just plays REALLY LOUDLY out of my speakers, like one click of volume is near-deafening full volume.
[12:51] <Dr_willis> sirriffsalot,  with the mount command.
[12:51] <Dr_willis> !mount
[12:51] <ryzzan> iceroot, r u there?
[12:51] <sirriffsalot> Dr_willis: cheers
[12:52] <djszapi|tb> any ideas guys ?
[12:52] <DarwinSurvivor> djszapi|tb: run "sudo apt-get update" first
[12:52] <bmckenna[Fark]> works in windows so i know it's not a connection issue (also the fact that it will play microphone audio if i unmute the mic)
[12:52] <djszapi|tb> done that quite a few times
[12:52] <djszapi|tb> any ideas guys ?
[12:53] <DarwinSurvivor> djszapi|tb: sorry, wrong person
[12:53] <DarwinSurvivor> djszapi|tb: nvm, right person, it appears you asked 2 questions :P
[12:53] <djszapi|tb> DarwinSurvivor: huh ?
[12:54] <ome> with the same spec virtualmachines, CentOS works like a charm but Ubuntu 12.04 can't access internet over a 'bridge adapter' that is provided by virtualbox. any ideas please ?
[12:54] <DarwinSurvivor> djszapi|tb: you asked about wacom *and* audio stuff :P
[12:54] <BrianNie> DarwinSurivor, I pasted the Xorg file at http://paste.ubuntu.com/977809/
[12:54] <djszapi|tb> audio ??
[12:54] <sirriffsalot> Dr_willis: When I do the "mount" command, I can't find my usb device (san disk) in the list...
[12:54] <bmckenna[Fark]> audio is me ;)
[12:54] <ome> I have to not that if i use a NAT instead of 'Bridge' it would work fun, but then I can't SSH into the machine. :|
[12:55] <ome> s\not\note\
[12:55] <tm> hi! does anyone here know about voice-recognition in ubuntu?
[12:55] <DarwinSurvivor> ome: please tell us what shows up when running "ifconfig" on the guest machine
[12:55] <djszapi|tb> anybody willing to paste the sources.list after an Ubuntu 12.04 installation while having access to the wacom packages ?
[12:55] <dlentz> BrianNie, (EE) Failed to load module "ati" (module does not exist, 0)
[12:56] <DarwinSurvivor> djszapi|tb: did you run "sudo apt-get update" before running "apt-cache search wacom"?
[12:56] <BrianNie> dlentz, yes I saw it. But there is no any ati driver I can install
[12:56] <dlentz> you're missing the ati driver, make sure xserver-xorg-video-ati package is installed
[12:56] <BrianNie> let me try
[12:57] <djszapi|tb> DarwinSurvivor: like I wrote many times, yes, quite a few times...
[12:57] <djszapi|tb> do you ignore my replies, but not the questions ? :-P
[12:57] <DarwinSurvivor> djszapi|tb: sorry, my bad
[12:57] <Athariel> hallo =)
[12:57] <ome> DarwinSurvivor: tl;dr: I need to wait before I can use shell.   Real thing: I will do it in a second, cause I have to wait for the installer to finish and it's now downloading the packages using the 'NAT'.
[12:57] <ome> :)
[12:58] <bricktea> is there a way to restore gnome-panels to default ?
[12:58] <bricktea> I know I had some custom panels
[12:58] <Athariel> !
[12:58] <bricktea> which might be the problem of it not being able to start
[12:59] <Athariel> salve sono nuovo
[12:59] <Athariel> c'è qualche italian o?
[12:59] <DarwinSurvivor> djszapi|tb: have you tried using the tablet without installing anything? I think it's been embedded into the kernel now
[12:59] <xangua> bricktea: http://www.webupd8.org/2011/04/how-to-reset-unity-launcher-icons-or.html may help¿
[12:59] <gwelter> !it | Athariel
[13:00] <djszapi|tb> DarwinSurvivor: yes of course
[13:00] <djszapi|tb> it did not work
[13:00] <Athariel> thanks
[13:00] <DarwinSurvivor> djszapi|tb: it does help to prefix your message with the other person's name since most irc clients highlight messages with the persons name in it
[13:00] <djszapi|tb> it is not tablet, btw
[13:00] <DarwinSurvivor> !who | djszapi|tb
[13:00] <gwelter> Athariel: prego
[13:00] <djszapi|tb> lol
[13:00] <railsraider> how do i resize a partition, my hard drive is 160GB with available 90GB space I want to resize the partition to 50GB so that i can create a 90GB xfs partition
[13:00] <DarwinSurvivor> djszapi|tb: then what type of wacom is it?
[13:00] <BrianNie> dlentz, I installed radeon and ati package.I need reboot and make it take effect. Thank you, I will try
[13:01] <railsraider> when i try :  resize2fs /dev/xvdb1 50G i get resize2fs: New size smaller than minimum (13524297)
[13:01] <xangua> railsraider: use gparted in the live cd
[13:01] <railsraider> I'm on rackspace via rescue
[13:04] <bmckenna[Fark]> any advice or information for my audio issues?
[13:04] <railsraider> thanks i'll try parted
[13:04] <bmckenna[Fark]> i'm totally lost.
[13:05] <djszapi|tb> DarwinSurvivor: what do you mean ?
[13:05] <djszapi|tb> (I pasted the toughbook link earlier fwiw)
[13:05] <DarwinSurvivor> djszapi|tb: ok, lets start from square 1. why do you need a wacom package? what is the *original* problem you are trying to solve?
[13:07] <julien__> oin #gtk
[13:07] <OerHeks> djszapi|tb, if it is any help, latest wacom package > https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wacom/LatestDriver
[13:08] <simples> does ubuntu installer allows to install encrypted partitions?
[13:09] <railsraider> i need help resizing down a partition parted doesn't work :( says incompatible feature error (using ext3)
[13:09] <OerHeks> simples yes, whole drive or your /home
[13:09] <xangua> simples: only your home, if you wich to encrypt all you'll have to use the alternate installer wich is basically debian's
[13:09] <DarwinSurvivor> simples: you can, but it's not terribly easy. if you just need to encrypt you personal files, use home-folder encryption on each account which is VERY easy to set up
[13:10] <_Matze__> heyho!
[13:10] <p1l0t> lets go!
[13:10] <xangua> OerHeks: really all¿ thought only home
[13:10] <monaDeveloper> Hi
[13:10] <VictorCL> how can I change all the images that are ona a folder from a .jpeg to a .jpg ?
[13:10] <abhinav_singh> i am using ubutnu 11.10 ..when ever i try to update it says "Warning You are about to install software that can't b authenticated! Doing this could allow a malicious individual to damage or take control of your system"..how do i fix it?  i am not getting any gpg key error..  i am tried to fix missing gpg key error using launchpad-getkeys
[13:10] <foobArrr> DarwinSurvivor: what's not terribly easy about it? the alternate installer pretty much does everything automatically
[13:10] <_Matze__> I'm running Ubuntu im VMware player andd it suddenly doesn't want to start anymore
[13:11] <monaDeveloper> recently I've upgraded to 12.04 but I get busybox built in shell instead of launching the system
[13:11] <jrib> VictorCL: you can use the "rename" command (see man page for examples; feel free to ask for more detail)
[13:11] <simples> DarwinSurvivor: i asked to encrypt partitions and not jut home, i want to have all system encrypted
[13:11] <fidel_> _Matze__: any error-output?
[13:11] <monaDeveloper> what should I do?
[13:11] <VictorCL> yes I need the rename command but for a batch of images
[13:11] <DarwinSurvivor> foobArrr: the alterneate installer is not terribly easy for the average user
[13:11] <jrib> VictorCL: yes, the "rename" command works on batches of images.
[13:11] <xangua> abhinav_singh: what's the output of sudo-apt-get-update ¿
[13:11] <foobArrr> hm k
[13:12] <DarwinSurvivor> foobArrr: it's not problem for you or I, but most users basically need the gui installer
[13:12] <fidel_> VictorCL: batch-renaming works pretty good with pyrenamer
[13:12] <ironhalik> if using TwinView, is it possible to set the workspaces to change independently of eachother, on both monitors?
[13:12] <fidel_> VictorCL: free tool - useful ui
[13:12] <_Matze__> fidel_: at first the sceen keeps black for a long time
[13:12] <VictorCL> ok , i dont know much , I think will be faster if I rename them 1 by 1
[13:13] <jrib> VictorCL: that's up to you I guess
[13:13] <Dr_willis> ironhalik,  they dont work that way. its one WIDE desktop/workspace  basically
[13:13] <simples> so isnt possible to install ubuntu with encrypted partitions, who call it a great distro?
[13:13] <DarwinSurvivor> VictorCL: are all the .jpeg's lowercase (the extension part)?
[13:13] <Dr_willis> ironhalik,  you could pin an app to the 2nd monitor,  and have it show on all workspaces if you wanted
[13:13] <foobArrr> simples: it is. use the alternate installer.
[13:14] <simples> foobArrr:  the alternate installer for what i see only allows to use LVM
[13:14] <monaDeveloper> recently I've upgraded to 12.04 but I get busybox built in shell instead of launching the system what should I do?
[13:14] <DarwinSurvivor> simples: it is possible, it's just much easier to use encrypted home folder which will protect the user's personal documents just fine
[13:14] <DarwinSurvivor> !encryption | simples
[13:14] <ironhalik> Dr_willis: and what about different configuration? two x servers with xinerama?
[13:14] <foobArrr> simples: it allows full disk encryption
[13:14] <foobArrr> simples: lvm in luks, iirc
[13:14] <Dr_willis> ironhalik,  2 x se4rvers - you have a totally seperate X session on the 2nd monitor. could run whatever you wanted.. i never use that setup
[13:14] <simples> foobArrr: that only possible through LVM, and i dont want LVM
[13:14] <_Matze__> fidel_: before these problems my Ubuntu said it had not enough disk space but there is more than enough
[13:15] <simples> DarwinSurvivor: i dont want to just encrypt home
[13:15] <ironhalik> Dr_willis: and probably wouldnt be able to move windows around, right?
[13:15] <foobArrr> simples: if you partition manually, you can set it up without lvm
[13:15] <simples> foobArrr:  you can not
[13:15] <Dr_willis> ironhalik,  xinerama is basically a lesser version of twinview.
[13:15] <abhinav_singh> this is error http://pastebin.com/ERF6n81K  xangua
[13:15] <foobArrr> simples: yes, you can
[13:15] <simples> foobArrr: tha installer does not allows it!
[13:16] <simples> foobArrr:  like i said, the installer only allows through LVM
[13:16] <ironhalik> Dr_willis: hmm, ok. So is there any way to make seperate workspaces on two monitors? moving everything around kinda beats the purpose of dual displays for me
[13:16] <_Matze__> \msg fidel_
[13:16] <simples> i was just asking to see if that was already fixed, but seams not
[13:16] <foobArrr> what do you mean "allow"? feature not there? feature not working?
[13:16] <DarwinSurvivor> VictorCL: "for i in `ls *.jpeg`; do mv $i `echo $i | sed 's/jpeg/jpg/'`; done
[13:16] <simples> foobArrr: why dont you go check it
[13:16] <jrib> DarwinSurvivor: don't use ls like that
[13:17] <_Matze__> \MSG fidel_
[13:17] <fidel_> _Matze__: try to answer in 1 block if possible
[13:17] <simples> the installer is a crap
[13:17] <Dr_willis> ironhalik,  i dont know how your workflow is.. I  move whatever window i need on the 2nd moniotr and pin it there if i want it to appear on eveyr workspace
[13:17] <fidel_> _Matze__: what happens after that black-screen phase during boot?
[13:17] <DarwinSurvivor> jrib: oh yeah, forgot about that
[13:17] <Wiz_KeeD> what does "allowing non authenticated users to relay email using the mail server." relay mean?
[13:17] <Wiz_KeeD> relay email
[13:17] <DarwinSurvivor> jrib: oh well, he left before I posted it anyways
[13:17] <fidel_> _Matze__: and are you sure there is enough space free on the system-disk ubuntu is using?
[13:17] <Dr_willis> ironhalik,  i normally set up vlc video on moniotr #2. and do my work on #1 ;)
[13:18] <ironhalik> Dr_willis: hah, same here ;D I guess that should work for me, too ;)
[13:18] <fidel_> Wiz_KeeD: that you dont need knowledge of user&pw to send mails over that box most likely
[13:18] <DarwinSurvivor> simples: is there a problem with using home folder encryption? the regular installer makes that dead-simple to set up.
[13:19] <Dr_willis> ironhalik,  flash used to have issues going fullscreen with multi monitors.. i havent tried it lately
[13:19] <fidel_> !pm > _Matze__
[13:19] <Wiz_KeeD> fidel_, i meant the actual term relay
[13:19] <Wiz_KeeD> or is that it?
[13:19] <DarwinSurvivor> fidel_: use | instead of >
[13:20] <ironhalik> Dr_willis: well, it wont resize, for me :>
[13:21] <fidel_> DarwinSurvivor: why?
[13:21] <vkarpyuk> hi people
[13:21] <fidel_> DarwinSurvivor: like that i spam less to the chan
[13:21] <simples> DarwinSurvivor: i dont get, you do understand english, right? i said encrypt all not just home
[13:21] <vkarpyuk> i am a new one here
[13:21] <fAz4> How to set command like "java -jar" for running jar files in gnome ?
[13:21] <fAz4> i'm new to unity
[13:21] <DarwinSurvivor> fidel_: oh, does > send it to them as a pm?
[13:21] <fidel_> DarwinSurvivor: yep
[13:22] <DarwinSurvivor> fidel_: learn something every day :D
[13:22] <fidel_> DarwinSurvivor: afaik ;)
[13:22] <fidel_> lets doubletest
[13:22] <fidel_> !pm > DarwinSurvivor
[13:22] <xangua> abhinav_singh: just open the update manager, go to preferences and change the download sources to the Main Server (in the very first tab) or whatever server you like
[13:22] <DarwinSurvivor> fidel_: yep, works :)
[13:22] <vkarpyuk> have anybody ever develop any file system?
[13:22] <vkarpyuk> to be specific ext2
[13:23] <OerHeks> simples, see the note from xangua > if you wich to encrypt all you'll have to use the alternate installer
[13:23] <abhinav_singh> i am trying to chose best server.. it is showing me some server in india..when i chose the server ..nothing is happening xangua
[13:23] <DarwinSurvivor> vkarpyuk: you mean like *written* a filesystem specification?
[13:23] <simples> OerHeks: seams you dont read what i say, the alternate isntaller will allow only to encrypt through LVM
[13:23] <foobArrr> simples: I just did check, works flawlessly, without lvm.
[13:23] <xangua> abhinav_singh: how ab out you choose your country server or main then
[13:23] <OerHeks> simples, so it can be done.
[13:23] <vkarpyuk> no i mean to develop a kernel module
[13:23] <abhinav_singh> it is already set to main server xangua
[13:23] <DarwinSurvivor> simples: and you aren't answering my question.
[13:23] <simples> foobArrr: foobArrr first you didn not had time for it, and second is not possible
[13:23] <xangua> abhinav_singh: you have to run the update manager again
[13:24] <fAz4> any idea, how to run jar files on unity ?!
[13:24] <simples> OerHeks: can not, and by the way, debian haves a more recent installed, and ubuntu is still with a older one
[13:24] <foobArrr> simples: first I did, in a vm, second it is, third go troll somewhere else
[13:24] <simples> s/installed/installer
[13:24] <fidel_> fAz4: in theory: having java installed - double-click it and answer the question of your file-manager to execute it
[13:25] <vkarpyuk> and it has to be a remote file system
[13:25] <OerHeks> simples, it can be done. i read you don't like the answer.
[13:25] <simples> foobArrr: well yes, ubuntu continues using a crap isntalled and does do any to improve it
[13:25] <DarwinSurvivor> vkarpyuk: do you have a support question, or is this just research?
[13:25] <simples> OerHeks: can not!
[13:25] <fAz4> fidel_: i used to set command in gnome
[13:25] <shibao> usp.br
[13:25] <fAz4> fidel_: "java -jar"
[13:25] <simples> OerHeks: i was yesterday on it
[13:25] <jetienne> q. if i install ubuntu 12.04, can i switch to a non unity desktop ?
[13:25] <fAz4> fidel_:  but unity want's to install it's own java (openJDK)
[13:26] <DarwinSurvivor> !notunity | jetienne
[13:26] <vkarpyuk> it's a research
[13:26] <jetienne> DarwinSurvivor: i guess you means yes
[13:26] <DarwinSurvivor> jetienne: you can also install the kde, xfce or lmde desktop environments from the software center.
[13:26] <simples> better to to distros that proven to be in a higher level: Mageia, Fedora, Oepnsuse
[13:26] <jetienne> DarwinSurvivor: what is "!unity" in the bot message
[13:27] <DarwinSurvivor> vkarpyuk: #ubuntu is used for support only, if you are doing basic research or getting opinions, please use #ubuntu-offtopic
[13:27] <jetienne> im considering xubuntu too
[13:27] <vkarpyuk> actually its a practical work
[13:27] <vkarpyuk> for my university
[13:28] <DarwinSurvivor> vkarpyuk: if you have a problem that you need help fixing, #ubuntu is the right place. if not, please use #ubuntu-offtopic (non-support questions about ubuntu should be in #ubuntu-offtopic)
[13:28] <vkarpyuk> ok , thank you!
[13:28] <Felin> Hey guys, having an issue with my controller, a standard Mixtrack. I'm running Mixxx 1.10 and the latest BodhiLinux (Ubuntu based). My issue is that while amidi -l shows the Mixtrack Mixxx continues to show No Midi Devices Available in the controller pane.
[13:29] <xangua> Felin: bodhi linux is not supported here
[13:29] <_Matze__> Heyho! My VMware player Ubuntu doesn't boot anymore! At first the sceen keeps black for a long time... before these problems my Ubuntu said it had not enough disk space but there is more than enough... now some error-messages appear: http://i.imgur.com/gR7Vv.png but nothing else happens and I can't do anything..
[13:29] <john> So, I'm trying to set up my extra monitor but it's telling me that I'm trying to exceed virtual screen size. This happens both in displays panel and xrandr....
[13:29] <Felin> Well I was sort of hoping I could get a bit of help here since it's Ubuntu-based and both the Mixxx and Bodhi irc's are dead. Ah well.
[13:30] <DarwinSurvivor> Felin: every "derivative" of ubuntu likes to change a lot of stuff and since we have no idea WHAT they have changed, we cannot help you. please use bodhi's support channels for help
[13:32] <monaDeveloper> hellloo?
[13:33] <DarwinSurvivor> !ask | monaDeveloper
[13:33] <john> So, I'm trying to set up my extra monitor but it's telling me that I'm trying to exceed virtual screen size. This happens both in displays panel and xrandr....Anyone know a common fix?
[13:36] <irkinosor> hi there. I am having this strange problem and I couldn't get help on the beginners channel. I cannot connect over the internet with my browsers (Firefox and Chromium) on my personal session, but when I can connect in the guest session using the same settings.How to resolve this?
[13:36] <irkinosor> thanks
[13:37] <DarwinSurvivor> irkinosor: if you type "ping google.com" into a terminal, do you get an error or a list of ping times?
[13:39] <out> Hi !!
[13:39] <_Matze__> Heyho! My VMware player Ubuntu doesn't boot anymore! At first the sceen keeps black for a long time... before these problems my Ubuntu said it had not enough disk space but there is more than enough... now some error-messages appear: http://i.imgur.com/gR7Vv.png but nothing else happens and I can't do anything..
[13:41] <_Matze__> Heyho! My VMware player Ubuntu doesn't boot anymore!

[13:41] <irkinosor> @Darwin I get a list of things
[13:41] <ikonia> _Matze__: you asked that less than a minute ago
[13:41] <ikonia> _Matze__: we saw you the first time
[13:41] <irkinosor> I down know if that's what you refer to as ping times
[13:42] <_Matze__> sorry, my internet broke down and i didn't know, if the message got sent
[13:42] <fidel_> _Matze__: can you boot into recovery mode?
[13:43] <_Matze__> how can one boot into recovery mode?
[13:43] <irkinosor> @Darwin: are you there?
[13:43] <DarwinSurvivor> irkinosor: yes, i'm here
[13:43] <fidel_> _Matze__: http://wiki.ubuntuusers.de/recovery_modus
[13:43] <ThinkT510> _Matze__: select it from grub, hold shift to make grub show at boot
[13:44] <irkinosor> I think it is a list of ping times indeed
[13:44] <irkinosor> it keeps running
[13:44] <DarwinSurvivor> irkinosor: what exactly does firefox and chrome show when trying to use them?
[13:44] <BadCodSmell> Do I need to do anything special to get NOPASSWD to work in sudoers on ubuntu?
[13:44] <DarwinSurvivor> irkinosor: it will run forever (it's what it does)
[13:44] <ThinkT510> BadCodSmell: you don't want nopasswd, it is a security risk
[13:45] <irkinosor> @darwin: it looks like. it is still running
[13:45] <BadCodSmell> I don't care, it's an internal thing and I don't have all day, plus the script does a lot of complex stuff with hardware and networking, chown/mod is not an option here.
[13:46] <irkinosor> @Darwin: this is the error from firefox: Error Code: 407 Proxy Authentication Required. Forefront TMG requires  authorization to fulfill the request. Access to the Web Proxy filter is  denied. (12209)
[13:46] <BadCodSmell> I definitely want NOPASSWD, it just isn't working though.
[13:46] <DarwinSurvivor> irkinosor: ok, well that's not "no internet", that's a proxy issue
[13:46] <ThinkT510> BadCodSmell: show us what you got so far
[13:47] <DarwinSurvivor> irkinosor: do you use a proxy ever (at work, school, etc) that you may have forgotten to disable?
[13:47] <_Matze__> I don't get to see any grub when I press shift
[13:47] <OerHeks> BadCodSmell, did you logout & login after change ?
[13:48] <john> Can anyone walk me through adding a new modeline in Xrandr to enable a dual screen setup with a 2560x1440 and 1920x
[13:48] <BadCodSmell> hw ALL=NOPASSWD: /scripts/update.sh
[13:48] <snapdata> gstreamer (gstlaunch pulsesrc ! pulsesink) works fine, but my browser doesn't show up in the 'recording' tab. Any ideas?
[13:48] <irkinosor> Darwin: What do you mean. I use the rpoxy at school where I am actually. But I mention that it works when I connect via guest session.
[13:48] <ThinkT510> BadCodSmell: is hw a user?
[13:48] <irkinosor> @darwin: btw how do I stop that ping thing?
[13:49] <john> Can anyone walk me through adding a new modeline in Xrandr to enable a dual screen setup with 2560x1440 and 1920x1080 monitors? I'm currently getting an exceeds virtual screen size error when I try to just switch my monitors to that size.
[13:49] <DarwinSurvivor> irkinosor: just close the terminal window
[13:49] <OerHeks> BadCodSmell, i think you need to use FULL path /home/$USER/scripts/update.sh
[13:49] <DarwinSurvivor> irkinosor: it sounds like your proxy is misconfigured. what type of proxy is it and what are the settings you used in firefox and chrome?
[13:49] <BadCodSmell> I figured it out, and it is outrageouly trivial, no +x.
[13:50] <BadCodSmell> Sudo just doesn't react in the way you would expect.
[13:50] <monaDeveloper> recently I've upgraded to 12.04 but I get busybox built in shell instead of launching the system what should I do?
[13:50] <_Matze__> ThinkT510:        I don't get grub if I press SHIFT
[13:50] <hwilde> john you would have to make it 1920x2 = 3840x1080
[13:50] <snapdata> I'm fairly certain Flash is not using PulseAudio. Any ideas?
[13:51] <ThinkT510> _Matze__: i've never used vmware, not sure if that would intercept the shift. are you holding it or just pressed once
[13:51] <irkinosor> @Darwin: what do you mean? I use the proxy provided by the university IT tech
[13:51] <_Matze__> ThinkT510 :   I tried bot options
[13:52] <_Matze__> *both
[13:52] <john> hwilde, how would I go about doing that? Right now I just get an exceeds virtual screen size for anything over 2560x2560, which is a little larger than where I like my primary monitor.
[13:52] <adamb> I have a question if someone has a moment. Is there a way to download the Ubuntu upgrade (12.04) via the upgrade tool without continuing on until later?
[13:52] <DarwinSurvivor> irkinosor: how do you log into the proxy? do you have to change settings in the web browser, or are you just presented with a login page when you try to load the first website?
[13:52] <ThinkT510> _Matze__: not sure what to suggest sorry
[13:53] <DarwinSurvivor> ikonia: basically, what information did IT give you for connecting?
[13:53] <Pici> DarwinSurvivor: wrong person
[13:53] <hwilde> last spoke >> alphabetical!
[13:53] <DarwinSurvivor> oops
[13:53] <_Matze__> ThinkT510:     thats bad.. who might be able to help me?
[13:53] <DarwinSurvivor> irkinosor: ^^
[13:53] <john> hwilde, reading over what I've found online I get adding modelines to single monitors, but it doesn't look like it will help me exceed virtual screen size for both.
[13:53] <irkinosor> @Darwin: I was presented with the login window when I first try a page and I put my username and passord
[13:53] <ThinkT510> adamb: i don't think so, you'd have to download + upgrade at the same time, don't think you can download and save for later
[13:53] <DarwinSurvivor> irkinosor: basically, what information did IT give you for connecting?
[13:53] <hwilde> john idk
[13:54] <irkinosor> @Darwin: I head you
[13:54] <adamb> ThinkT510:  curse. Ok. thanks!
[13:54] <DarwinSurvivor> irkinosor: ok, so there was nowhere that you had to enter proxy information into firefox's settings?
[13:54] <monaDeveloper> recently I've upgraded to 12.04 but I get busybox built in shell instead of launching the system what should I do?
[13:54] <ThinkT510> _Matze__: you are in the right place to ask, many tend to use virtualbox rather than vmware
[13:55] <irkinosor> @Darwin: There was and I did before trying to connect to the first page where I change it to automatic proxy
[13:55] <_Matze__> ThinkT510:    A collegue recommended VMware to my so I took it..
[13:55] <DarwinSurvivor> irkinosor: and you *didn't* make those changes in the guest account?
[13:55] <irkinosor> @Darwin: I used Oneric like yesterday and these same setting was working jsut fine!!!
[13:56] <irkinosor> @Darwin: had problems after I upgraded
[13:56] <ThinkT510> _Matze__: if i can i stay with open source solutions where practical, thats why i've only used virtualbox, sorry i'm not much help
[13:56] <shepska> ?
[13:57] <DarwinSurvivor> irkinosor: I'm trying to figure out what is different between the firefox in your regular account and the firefox in your guest account
[13:57] <_Matze__> ThinkT510: okay, VMware-player is for free but not open source?
[13:57] <DarwinSurvivor> if there were settings you put into your user account but not your guest account, try taking those settings out
[13:57] <ThinkT510> _Matze__: yes
[13:58] <ThinkT510> _Matze__: virtualbox is free and open source, also in the ubuntu repos
[13:58] <DarwinSurvivor> irkinosor: is there a link you can post that points to your university's proxy connection instructions?
[13:59] <irkinosor> Please do. Note that there are not network setting for the system in my guest account. I tried that earlier,  I changed Network proxy to none but that also didn'twork
[13:59] <irkinosor> @Darwin: What do you mean?
[14:00] <DarwinSurvivor> irkinosor: i'm assuming your university has some kind of website with instructions telling students how to connect to the proxy. can you give us a link to it?
[14:00] <BrianNie> Hi dlentz, I am back here. I installed xserver for radeon and ati, but when I login, the desktop and menu all dissapeared like before. and I installed fglrx, now I can reach the desktop but when I execute fglrxinfo the errors are:X Error of failed request:  BadRequest (invalid request code or no such operation)
[14:00] <BrianNie>   Major opcode of failed request:  135 (GLX)
[14:00] <BrianNie>   Minor opcode of failed request:  19 (X_GLXQueryServerString)
[14:00] <BrianNie>   Serial number of failed request:  12
[14:00] <BrianNie>   Current serial number in output stream:  12
[14:00] <FloodBot1> BrianNie: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[14:00] <monaDeveloper> recently I've upgraded to 12.04 but I get busybox built in shell instead of launching the system what should I do?
[14:01] <Kristophwa> do I need toclean install to go from 10.4 to 12.4?
[14:01] <ThinkT510> Kristophwa: clean installs are usually better but you can upgrade directly from 10.04 to 12.04
[14:02] <xangua> Kristophwa: you will have tu wait untill 12.04.1 releases in a couple of months i've heard
[14:02] <DarwinSurvivor> Kristophwa: no, you can upgrade to 10.10, then 11.04, then 11.10, then 12.04. but a reinstall may be faster depending on how much customization you've done
[14:02] <fidel_> 12.04.1 is playnned afaik to july 19th
[14:02] <Kristophwa> not much customization
[14:02] <fidel_> *planned*
[14:02] <irkinosor> @Darwin: let me check if it's there because the proxy I have I had to ask them via email. The give a flyer at the beginning of the year with instruction, I don't recall seeing it on their website that's why I had to emailed them
[14:03] <DarwinSurvivor> irkinosor: can you tell us which university it is?
[14:03] <irkinosor> @Darwin: Cape Town
[14:03] <irkinosor> South Africa
[14:04] <DarwinSurvivor> irkinosor: in africa?
[14:04] <irkinosor> Yep
[14:06] <DarwinSurvivor> irkinosor: copy/pasting the e-mail into paste.ubuntu.com would also work
[14:06] <john> Looking for help with xrandr. I need to exceed it's stated maximum screen size to get my dual monitor setup to work. Going for a 3840x1080 setup, stated max size is 2560x2560, which is the max x value for my primary monitor.
[14:08] <irkinosor> @Darwin: Don't you know Ubuntu founder is from South Africa??? Bcz you asked whether is was in Africa.... :)
[14:09] <Sidewinder> fidel_, July 19th, eh; I had heard sometime in June, but I forget where I heard it, prolly here. Are you reasonably certain of that date 'cause I'm currently 10.04. TIA.
[14:09] <DarwinSurvivor> irkinosor: yes I knew that
[14:10] <fidel_> Sidewinder: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PrecisePangolin/ReleaseSchedule
[14:10] <Sidewinder> fidel_, Many thanx. :)
[14:11] <asteve> where is pure-ftpd.conf on 10.04?
[14:11] <Sidewinder> fidel_, I notice all the entries have (?) after them; guess they're not etched in stone.
[14:12] <asteve> there is /etc/pure-ftpd/conf but it is filled with multiple files named after directives with answers inside
[14:12] <asteve> such as NoAnonymous as a filename and "yes" as the contents
[14:12] <DarwinSurvivor> irkinosor: i believe http://www.icts.uct.ac.za/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=3196#wireless_connect_ubuntu_HH would be the appropriate information
[14:12] <fidel_> Sidewinder: not the 19th
[14:12] <fidel_> only one around that area without question mark
[14:12] <_Matze__> [15:41] <_Matze__> Heyho! My VMware player Ubuntu doesn't boot anymore! At first the sceen keeps black for a long time... before these problems my Ubuntu said it had not enough disk space but there is more than enough... now some error-messages appear: http://i.imgur.com/gR7Vv.png but nothing else happens and I can't do anything..
[14:12] <compdoc> asteve, ever use the locate command?
[14:13] <fidel_> but yeah you never know
[14:13] <my-techno> hy ..
[14:13] <asteve> compdoc: do you know the answer to my question?
[14:13] <Sidewinder> fidel_, You're, of course, correct; I was reading too fast..
[14:13] <DarwinSurvivor> irkinosor: haha, you guys are on eduroam. That's the same system BCIT, SFU and UBC use in Canada'
[14:14] <DarwinSurvivor> irkinosor: if you can get connected to the eduroam connection, you shouldn't need to worry about proxies, eduroam handles all that for you
[14:15] <sab0> i installed glassfish2.2 ESB including netbean 6.7.1,but i cant run it on my machine(ubuntu 10.04).The installation filename "glassfishesb-v2.2-full-installer-linux.sh".I used "chmod +x filename" and "sudo ./filename" to install it.can any one please tell me what can be the problem and how can i solve it?
[14:15] <my-techno> indonesian people
[14:15] <my-techno> indonesian people ..??
[14:15] <DarwinSurvivor> irkinosor: hmm, actually, you *may* need to set proxy settings (they must have eduroam configured MUCH differently down there)
[14:15] <BrianNie> Hi Darwin, I am back here. I installed xserver for radeon and ati, but when I login, the desktop and menu all dissapeared like before. and I installed fglrx, now I can reach the desktop but when I execute fglrxinfo the errors are:X Error of failed request:  BadRequest (invalid request code or no such operation)
[14:15] <irkinosor> @Darwin: Yes those are the correct settings. I tried edurom earlier but still not working that when I change to wired.But let me try again see
[14:16] <DJones> !is | my-techno
[14:16] <DJones> !id | my-techno
[14:16] <DarwinSurvivor> irkinosor: if you can get eduroam working, that is a MUCH easier way to go, *trust* me (but eduroam *can* be very finicky to get set up the first time)
[14:16] <BrianNie> I pasted the Xorg file here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/977927/
[14:17] <DarwinSurvivor> irkinosor: just consider yourself lucky that UTC was nice enough to give step-by-step instructions for linux. at BCIT (a technology college) you say linux and get a funny look :(
[14:18] <Kristophwa> hi guys
[14:18] <OptiWork> can you pass a username variable inside a dconf setting?
[14:18] <Varsuchi> Darwin: I dont think I would attend that college....
[14:18] <Kristophwa> needing to install a jdk on my 10.4 anyone got a good liner I can use
[14:19] <elijah> Is there a way to make a window transparent in Ubuntu? I want to overlay a transparent window over CSS, PHP, HTML files and practice typing.
[14:19] <irkinosor> @Darwin: Lol :-D, The IT department here have a lab sponsored by Mark so I guess they have to return the favour right? Ok. let me try that eduroam...
[14:20] <rotti> when i boot ubuntu 12.04 on my hp pavillion i need to hit f3 each time to brighten my display.  is there a fix?
[14:20] <DarwinSurvivor> Varsuchi: it's actually a fairly decent college, they just don't have much of an IT department
[14:20] <sab0> i installed glassfish2.2 ESB including netbean 6.7.1,but i cant run it on my machine(ubuntu 10.04).The installation filename "glassfishesb-v2.2-full-installer-linux.sh".I used "chmod +x filename" and "sudo ./filename" to install it.can any one please tell me what can be the problem and how can i solve it?
[14:21] <DJones> rotti: Give me a minute, I have the same bug with my HP laptop
[14:21] <Varsuchi> what IRC client is everyone using in Ubuntu?
[14:21] <DJones> rotti: This what I used to fix the problem http://askubuntu.com/questions/79983/screen-brightness-resets-to-minimum-after-every-reboot
[14:21] <elijah> never mind, I will use VIM and a transparent background in terminal
[14:21] <DarwinSurvivor> sab0: please do NOT use .sh and .bin installers in ubuntu. more often than not they just break stuff *horribly*. instead, please use the glassfish package in the repository
[14:22] <jrib> !polls | Varsuchi
[14:22] <DarwinSurvivor> !polls | Varsuchi
[14:22] <Varsuchi> !polls
[14:22] <DJones> rotti: My laptop is a HP Pavillion G72, which sounds like the same problem
[14:22] <richardlxc> hello
[14:22] <elijah> Varsuchi: I use Pidgin, however I wish when I switch to it with alt+tab that both the buddies window and the channels would focus, it just does the buddies window, then I have to close it and it works fine.

[14:23] <negrito> Hi guys, got a problem today with Unity in 12.04, used to das this with 11.10 so I decided use Windows and wait for 12.04. My Unity completelly disappeared...
[14:23] <richardlxc> when i use webhttrak in ubuntu
[14:23] <richardlxc> there is an error
[14:23] <richardlxc> http://pastebin.com/aH5wwnUf
[14:23] <fizk_> Is anyone looking to share a dedicated server? I'm thinking of sharing mine.
[14:23] <richardlxc> anyone can
[14:24] <sab0> DarwinSurvivor, can you please tell me how can i find and uninstall the installed glassfish which is not functioning,because its using almost 540mb of space
[14:24] <richardlxc> anyone can help me?

[14:24] <LuizAngioletti> I'm using Ubuntu 11.10. I have a network printer configured through the GUI, but when I try to access it through the command line, using the lpstat command, nothing shows up. Why is that?
[14:25] <_Matze__> [15:41] <_Matze__> Heyho! My VMware player Ubuntu doesn't boot anymore! At first the sceen keeps black for a long time... before these problems my Ubuntu said it had not enough disk space but there is more than enough... now some error-messages appear: http://i.imgur.com/gR7Vv.png but nothing else happens and I can't do anything..
[14:26] <rotti> how to i find /etc/rc.local
[14:26] <H3Hlp> Hi
[14:26] <jrib> rotti: why?
[14:26] <rotti> Screen brightness resets to minimum after every reboot
[14:27] <jrib> rotti: /etc/rc.local is itself a path.  If you're sure there's no better way, you can edit it with: gksudo gedit /etc/rc.local
[14:27] <H3Hlp> Hi, whatr distribution is the best for linux gaming?
[14:27] <DarwinSurvivor> !polls | H3Hlp
[14:27] <WhereIsMySpoon> H3Hlp, linux isnt really that good of a gaming platform in general
[14:27] <WhereIsMySpoon> mostly cause not many big games are written for it
[14:28] <DarwinSurvivor> !ot | H3Hlp
[14:28] <DarwinSurvivor> irkinosor1: is your problem resolved yet?
[14:28] <WhereIsMySpoon> Hi - why when I check for open connections on /dev/tty does the process that's doing so freeze?
[14:28] <H3Hlp> yea I know, but my counter strike works best on backtrack than in ubuntu
[14:28]  * overbythere hopes DarwinSurvivor doesn't hit him again
[14:28] <iceroot> H3Hlp: at the moment there are not so many games but steam will come to GNU/Linux and then i guess ubuntu is a good choice
[14:28] <WhereIsMySpoon> it doesnt freeze when checking on /dev/ttyX or /dev/ttySX
[14:28] <mneptok> H3Hlp: aside from polls being off-topic and unwelcome, choosing #ubuntu for such a question is puzzling. do you think anyone will say "Fedora!"?
[14:29] <DarwinSurvivor> overbythere: I hit you before...?
[14:29] <H3Hlp> hmm ok
[14:29] <DarwinSurvivor> overbythere: oh, the away thing :P

[14:30] <overbythere> hehe

[14:33] <BrianNie> Hi, does anybody can help me ?
[14:34] <BrianNie> I installed ati driver but something wrong
[14:34] <satrionics> the proprietary driver?
[14:36] <irkinosor> @Darwin: I lost my connection. did you get my messages?
[14:36] <BrianNie> my computer is dell inspiron 1526 and video card is Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] nee ATI RS690M [Radeon X1200 Series]
[14:37] <mneptok> BrianNie: did you install the proprietary FGLRX driver from AMD?
[14:37] <BrianNie> I installed from ubuntu reposotory
[14:37] <mneptok> BrianNie: installed *what*?
[14:38] <BrianNie> AMD did not have the proprietary driver now.
[14:38] <BrianNie> I installed xserver-radeon, xserver-ati, fglrx
[14:39] <mneptok> BrianNie: "lsmod | grep adeon"
[14:40] <satrionics> radeon mneptok ^note the typo
[14:40] <satrionics> grep radeon
[14:40] <mneptok> satrionics: grep returns partial strings. "adeon" will match "Radeon" and :radeon" both.
[14:40] <BrianNie> I executed but no any output
[14:40] <satrionics> oh
[14:40] <satrionics> ok
[14:41] <mneptok> BrianNie: then you seemingly are using the proprietary FGLRX driver. there's not much help that can be offered, as it is proprietary.
[14:41] <DarwinSurvivor> irkinosor: no i didn't get it, send it again
[14:42] <gaston_> what is the quickest way to install ffmpeg?
[14:42] <DarwinSurvivor> irkinosor: btw, if you type "d" and hit <tab> it should auto-complete my name :)
[14:42] <jpds> gaston_: sudo apt-get install ffmpeg -y
[14:42] <BrianNie> I pasted Xorg.0 file here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/977927/ ,can you tell me where is the problem?
[14:42] <gaston_> jpds: thanks, found several commands but none made it.
[14:42] <gaston_> reboot required?
[14:43] <jpds> gaston_: No.
[14:43] <gaston_> jpds: thx again!
[14:43] <DarwinSurvivor> irkinosor: did you cut out again?
[14:43] <elijah> How do I set the Gnome Terminal from a block to a cursor, I can't seem to find it in profile preferences?
[14:44] <gaston_> jpds: for 12.04 as well?
[14:44] <jpds> gaston_: Yes.
[14:44] <RyoRonin> elijah: its under profiles general, under cursor shape : Block Underline Ibeam
[14:45] <gaston_> jpds: i get http://pastebin.com/BiCvTzSF when transcoding with vlc
[14:45] <UICTamale> hey all, I'm frustrated at the lack of responsiveness in Ubuntu 12.04 running unity and the open-source radeon drivers.  I tried fglrx, but dual-monitor support is completely broken, let alone triple monitor.  Is there any hope of having a snappy, responsive ubuntu 12.04 system with 3 monitors?
[14:45] <elijah> RyoRonin: lol, thanks, I glossed right over that at least 5 times
[14:46] <RyoRonin> elijah: yeah it happens to the best of us.
[14:46] <elijah> UICTamale: Yeah, use proprietary drivers - :)
[14:46] <jpds> gaston_: You probably need something else like gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg installed.
[14:46] <gaston_> going in :)
[14:46] <negrito> Is there a terminal command to start the USB Disk Creator?
[14:46] <sivang> hi all
[14:46] <antnash> Hey guys. Anyone able to tell me why my partition doesn't show up on lvm manager under uninitialized entities? Tried unformatted, formatted, no joy
[14:47] <sivang> I've upgraded to 12.04, and I lost all the window decorations and effects. How to re-enable them?
[14:47] <elijah> UICTamale: otherwise, living with the pain will cause you to a) figure out how improve it, b) suffer miserably, c) something else I won't mention
[14:47] <sivang> (I'd say compiz is not running or so, but what do I know? ;)
[14:47] <gaston_> jpds: hm newest version already installed. no need to reboot, you said?
[14:47] <jpds> gaston_: Yes, this isn't Windows.
[14:47] <negrito> Is there a terminal command to start the USB Disk Creator? 2
[14:48] <gaston_> negrito: sudo usb-creator-gtk

[14:51] <killemall> hey guys, trying to setup a classic gnome session on 12.04. I have older intel 8xx gpu, and when I logout, I can not see the login screen or switch any vts, though I can hear the login sound so I think it's working, I just can't see it
[14:51] <w1jp> audio? I want to disable the AGC (automatic gain control) of the audio input. Where do I do that  PulseAudio or ALSA?
[14:51] <killemall> is there a way to select default session from CLI?
[14:51] <killemall> first time I log in it works ok but logging out doesn't work
[14:51] <gain> gain... lol
[14:52] <ironhalik> how is it that lspci shows 256MB of addressable memory, and xorg logs show 512mb (same as nvidia-settings)
[14:52] <w1jp> gain: lol to you have an agc?
[14:52] <w1jp> anyway can't use skype or voip with the system automatically adjusting the gain (background noise)
[14:52] <u53r> hello. does anyone know how to translate this into a proper query: SELECT Ämne.ÄmneText FROM Ämne,Bok WHERE COUNT(Ämne.ÄmneNr=Bok.ÄmneNr) = 0
[14:53] <snapdata> Hi. My browsers (through html5 or direct input) work with PulseAudio just fine. However, when Flash utilizes a microphone I do not see a recording source in pavucontrol.

[14:53] <Pici> u53r: Thats not really on-topic for this channel, try #sql
[14:53] <snapdata> Any input is greatly appreciated.
[14:54] <DarwinSurvivor> u53r: please use the #sql channel for database questions
[14:54] <u53r> cannot send to that channel

[14:55] <UICTamale> elijah: I tried the fglrx drivers.  Upping the virtual desktop size so I could do multiple monitors caused a segfault in the driver.
[14:55] <zozo_> có ai là người việt nam không

[14:56] <gain> wrong chan, sry :S
[14:56] <snapdata> wljp, that's a peculiar problem but I don't see how it's relevant. If you're asking me for help I've no expertise in this area. I wish I could help you.
[14:56] <linelevel> Hi guys. Given a bunch of binary data in hex, is there any command (via a bash shell) by which I can pipe in those hex codes to create a file that contains that binary data?

[14:56] <no-name-> I got this from sensors-detect. I found the driver I need on that link, but I can't figure out how to install it. It's a c file and a make file -- it makes but doesn't sudo make install
[14:56] <Cubuntu> In the network indicator it says 'device not ready. Firmware missing' on a old laptop I'm trying to get to work. It's a broadcom wifi. There's no driver for it in the 'Additional drivers' application.
[14:56] <w1jp> mostly just throwing it out there.

[14:59] <ome> linelevel: xxd should do the trick.

[14:59] <linelevel> ome: I looked at that but I just have the data formatted as \x31\xC0\x50\x68 ...
[15:00] <ome> killemall: if it's that old, you better off going with somethin like openbox or xfce.
[15:00] <linelevel> ome: xxd needs a hex dump format (with offsets, etc.)
[15:00] <penreturns> killemall,  refer this http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/classicgnome
[15:00] <killemall> ome: I think this will not solve the problem

[15:00] <ome> killemall: that is true though. think of my message as a sidenote. :)
[15:01] <ome> linelevel: I am not good with machine code but I am pretty sure there is a few hex standards and how they should be converted to a 'binary file'
[15:01] <ome> but you can always use hex2bin to just create a 'binary' file.

[15:01] <killemall> penreturns: ome: yes I just can't see the login screen to do it. I need to select classic gnome from cli method
[15:01] <xrfang> hi, I am now in Fedora 16, I want to burn ubuntu 12.04 iso to a usb disk so that I can boot it, how can I do that?
[15:02] <guest123> you must use unetbootin
[15:02] <penreturns> xrdodrx, search for startup disk creator
[15:02] <auronandace> xrfang: you can dd it to the usb
[15:02] <OerHeks> xrfang, use unetbootin > http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/
[15:02] <linelevel> ome: Wouldn't hex2bin just give me an ASCII file containing '0's and '1's?
[15:02] <penreturns> killemall, im sorry, cant help :(
[15:03] <killemall> ok :P
[15:03] <dev-null> Can I add ppa's in Xubuntu? Like in Ubuntu...
[15:03] <xrfang> auronandace, I searched the net lots of posts said dd'd copy don't boot ...
[15:03] <ome> linelevel: http://www.keil.com/download/docs/7.asp
[15:03] <xrfang> OerHeks, I will take a look , thanks
[15:03] <auronandace> xrfang: its meant to work with dd from 11.10 onwards
[15:04] <auronandace> xrfang: apparently you can cat it too
[15:04] <ome> Duality: you can use ifconfig/iwconfig to manage the interfaces and use 'nmcli' to connect to networks.
[15:04] <RingZer0> trying to switch fron win to ubuntu - when booting off the cd (dvd) all i see is a blinking horizontal cursor.  But I hear the infamous startup sound that plays after initial load.
[15:05] <RingZer0> but no visual other than blinkign cursor.
[15:05] <ome> linelevel: sorry, that is DOS based, but I am pretty sure you can find a similar tool based on the type of binary you looking for.
[15:05] <Duality> ome i tried but it won't put up the interface
[15:05] <RingZer0> I tried to install linux mint as an alternative to ubuntu, but it froze on firewire fw0 detection/initialization
[15:05] <RingZer0> thoughts?
[15:05] <woolala> RingZer0, don't use mint?
[15:06] <RingZer0> from the second I boot from the CD, i see nothing.
[15:06] <ome> Duality: "won't put up' is vague. do you get an error ? what did you try ?
[15:06] <RingZer0> woolala: yeah, i was thinking maybe related so I was mentioning.
[15:06] <RingZer0> woolala: i'd prefer ubuntu.
[15:06] <ome> RingZer0: what is you machine ?
[15:06] <tables> how do i rerun ubuntu update?
[15:06] <RingZer0> ome: custom build.
[15:07] <RingZer0> i will go pastie specs if it helps
[15:07] <notNicolas> I just upgraded to 12.04 on my laptop... The boot time is absolutely unacceptable. I need to wait over 5 minutes to be able to enter my password.
[15:07] <notNicolas> any idea what could cause this?
[15:07] <notNicolas> It was fine in 11.04
[15:07] <ome> RingZer0: so, I assume it's good enough to run ubuntu. then I specs wouldn't help much.
[15:08] <woolala> my 12.04 is like to open a tv
[15:08] <RingZer0> amd-fx 6100 :: asus sabertooth 990 FX :: 16G ram
[15:08] <RingZer0> ram is ddr3
[15:08] <AaronDCampbell> I'm having problems with DNS.  I think a site is somehow "stuck".  My laptop and desktop both run Ubuntu 12.04 and are connected to the SAME router.  However, on my desktop there is a specific host that when pinged says "unknown host" and it works perfectly on my laptop
[15:08] <AaronDCampbell> Is there a way to clear out whatever it's got cached?
[15:08] <Duality> ome, says no such device
[15:09] <snapdata> Hi. My browsers (through html5 or direct input) work with PulseAudio just fine. However, when Flash utilizes a microphone I do not see a recording source in pavucontrol. Any input is greatly appreciated, I've been searching the forum and googling for hours and have yet to find any information at all.
[15:09] <RingZer0> so, its so weird tho, its like the monitor isn't working, cause I hear the bootup sounds ... but i see a blinking cursor
[15:09] <ome> RingZer0: did you try to restart the 'xorg' from a a tty terminal ?
[15:09] <woolala> ubuntu 12.04 spams ping packets
[15:09] <RingZer0> ome: i have windows currently installed
[15:09] <RingZer0> i JUST downloaded ubuntu
[15:09] <woolala> you might get jammed internet
[15:09] <RingZer0> just trying to boot from CD
[15:09] <RingZer0> to install
[15:09] <RingZer0> but cant
[15:10] <LinuxMonkey> !enter | RingZer0
[15:10] <tizzo> anyone else having trouble with the precise apt servers?
[15:10] <ome> RingZer0: ok, when you bootup and hear the startup sound, press ALT+F1. and let me know if you can see a terminal. I will help you further.
[15:10] <RingZer0> LinuxMonkey: sorry, i hate when ppl do that too.  my bad :P
[15:10] <jpds> tizzo: No?
[15:10] <tizzo> apt-get update keeps flaking out on me
[15:10] <RingZer0> ome: okay, i tried ctrl+alt F1-F8
[15:10] <RingZer0> and nothing happened, but I will go try again now.
[15:10] <penreturns> tizzo, what ur problem?
[15:11] <jpds> tizzo: That really depends on which mirror you're using too.
[15:11] <RingZer0> notta
[15:11] <madurax86> my machine does not shutdown after a hibernate, but if i shut it down manually then it resumes ok whats the problem?
[15:11] <tizzo> and yesterday I was getting server errors on the package pages
[15:11] <RingZer0> any other keystroke ideas?
[15:11] <tizzo> (on the website)
[15:11] <tizzo> hrm
[15:11]  * tizzo wonders what could be wrong on his side
[15:12] <xangua> madurax86: is this a notebook¿ do you close the tape¿
[15:12] <xangua> tizzo: if you could share the pat-get update output
[15:12] <madurax86> xangua: yes it is a notebook, tape meaning?
[15:12] <woolala> Xander, you typed reversed question marks
[15:12] <penreturns> tizzo, try this sudo apt-get clean | cd /var/lib/apt | sudo rm -rf lists.old | sudo mkdir -p lists/partial | sudo apt-get clean | sudo apt-get update
[15:13] <Xander> woolala, heh?
[15:13] <xangua> madurax86: as in close it
[15:13] <ome> RingZer0: did you try the same 'CD' in some other machine ? I am not sure but it could be that you graphic card is bit exotic.
[15:13] <Xander> woolala, I think you meran xangua :-P
[15:13] <madurax86> xangua: the lid? nope I did not do I have to?
[15:13] <Xander> s/meran/mean
[15:13] <RingZer0> ome: yes, and worked.  actually burnt 6 coppies lmao
[15:13] <jpds> penreturns: Erm, have you actually ran that command?
[15:13] <RingZer0> ome: with different burners too.
[15:14] <rr3> is it safe to install a PPA?  I want to install python2.7 on 10.04 and askubuntu says I should install a PPA from Felix Krull?
[15:14] <xangua> madurax86: take it with your hands, and close it; it goes to suspension and then it doesn't turn off...happened to me a few times XD
[15:14] <penreturns> yep
[15:14] <xangua> rr3: you use ppa at your own risk, it's up to you
[15:14] <ome> RingZer0: haha. ok then google " [Put your graphic card name here] problem with ubuntu linux". maybe that should help if you have tried yet.
[15:14] <jpds> penreturns: Then you'd know that it doesn't work as you've put in a load of pipes (|).
[15:14] <ome> s\have\haven't\
[15:15] <madurax86> xangua: how to fix it? im hibernating by pm-hibernate
[15:15] <DJones> rr3: some ppas work well, others can ruin a system, it depends how much you trust the ppa creator
[15:15] <RingZer0> ome: I will try that, i appreciate the fact that you tried to help man.
[15:15] <ome> RingZer0: not a problem. :)
[15:16] <penreturns> nope... use without | <-- just separate the command line
[15:16] <xangua> madurax86: so you close the tape after selecting the turn off menu¿ it goes to suspension instead¿
[15:16] <rr3> okay thanks guys, I am going to resist install the ppa on my 10.04 box, just going install a VM with 12.04 for what I need to get done, I believe 12.04 comes with python 2.7
[15:17] <ome> rr3: 2 and 2.7.
[15:17] <madurax86> xangua: ah no no thats not the case(it has happened to me too) this is not that after hibernating theres a black screen nothing happens no blingking lights
[15:18] <fAz4> how to add authenticated proxy address to system ?! (ubuntu 12.04)
[15:19] <tizzo> anyone have any idea what would make apt-get update take like … 10 or 20 minutes?
[15:19] <madurax86> fAz4: go to the network dialog in settings
[15:19] <tizzo> (it's not failing this time (so far) but taking FOREVER)
[15:19] <tizzo> and I have like 20 Mb down right now...
[15:19] <madurax86> fAz4: select proxy settings from there
[15:19] <fAz4> madurax86: i see, but there is not place for adding username and pass ?!
[15:19] <auronandace> tizzo: slow network?
[15:20] <tizzo> auronandace: not for the rest of the internet
[15:20] <auronandace> tizzo: overloaded mirror?
[15:20] <gnubie> tizzo>  repo choice?
[15:20] <jpds> tizzo: Yes, which mirror are you using?
[15:21] <tizzo> hrm, maybe, at the moment I'm setting up a stock precise server and haven't made any changes to any of that
[15:21] <tizzo> I keep getting things like this:

[15:21] <tizzo> sorry, should pastbinned that, sorry
[15:21] <madurax86> fAz4: should work havent tried tho
[15:22] <fAz4> madurax86: yeah, i'm checking ...
[15:22] <BlindedCannibal> Hello do you know in which channel I get technical assistance?
[15:22] <tizzo> it also keeps spitting out "website-unavailable"
[15:22] <DJones> BlindedCannibal: As long ast its Ubuntu assistance, ask here
[15:22] <tizzo> jpds: how do I determine (or change) the mirror I'm using?
[15:23] <anon_> Hi there. I am tired of not finding images and videos in my large collection. Categories don't seem to make sense anymore. A picture can be under category vacation or under category family or under the names of the persons on the picture. I am looking for some tagging software to organize my personal images and videos. Can anybody recommend a good software (if one exists)? I am using Ubuntu/Kubuntu 12.04.
[15:23] <jpds> tizzo: You're using us.archive.ubuntu.com, which is probably overloaded.
[15:24] <tizzo> jpds: blargh
[15:24] <tizzo> more of my output: http://paste.ubuntu.com/978059/
[15:24] <jpds> tizzo: Open the Software Centre and go to Edit → Software Sources.
[15:24] <tizzo> the text keeps updating inline from us.archive.ubuntu.com to www.website-unavailable.com
[15:24] <tizzo> jpds: uh, I'm on server
[15:24] <BlindedCannibal> It's a flash problem, I think it's related with my graphic drive.. Well, I've installed all versions of Flash and Gnash, and update my drives, etc. but it's still ocurring, I updated to 12.04 but had the same problem in the previous versions..
[15:25] <tizzo> so that'd be /etc/apt/sources.list ?
[15:25] <jpds> tizzo: OK; a proxy appears to be redirecting you.
[15:25] <RingZer0> Hey! I tried the other dvi port on my video card at at least that time it flashed a logo of a man + keyboard at the bottom of the screen on boot D:
[15:25] <tizzo> jpds: wtf...
[15:25] <RingZer0> ... but now I am stuck with the blinky cursor again
[15:25] <jpds> tizzo: Try: $ GET http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/
[15:26] <AaronDCampbell> I'm having problems with DNS.  I think a site is somehow "stuck".  My laptop and desktop both run Ubuntu 12.04 and are connected to the SAME router.  However, on my desktop there is a specific host that when pinged says "unknown host" and it works perfectly on my laptop. Is there a way to clear out whatever it's got cached?
[15:27] <AaronDCampbell> They both use the same nameservers because they're getting them from the router (both have <IP_ADDRESS> as the nameserver you see in connection information)
[15:27] <chris__> could anyone running gnome3 send me there gnome-shell.css file, its located at /usr/share/gnome-shell/themes/gnome-shell.css
[15:27] <shaneo> hey guys is there a way to mount wbfs(NTFS) partitions in ubuntu
[15:27] <fAz4> madurax86: it didn't work out
[15:28] <AaronDCampbell> dig stucksite.com doesn't work, but dig @<IP_ADDRESS> stucksite.com does...even though that's supposed to be the name server I'm already using
[15:28] <tizzo> jpds: weird, yeah it's just hanging
[15:28] <jpds> tizzo: Well, something's redirecting you.
[15:28] <tizzo> (I'm using wget because I don't have perl installed (and can't install it without apt, yay)
[15:28] <snapdata> Hi. My browsers (through html5 or direct input) work with PulseAudio just fine. However, when Flash utilizes a microphone I do not see a recording source in pavucontrol. Any input is greatly appreciated, I've been searching the forum and googling for hours and have yet to find any information at all.
[15:28] <madurax86> fAz4: oh did you try googling? this is quite direct
[15:28] <tizzo> jpds: where can I find a list of mirrors?
[15:29] <BlindedCannibal>  It's a flash problem, I think it's related with my graphic drive.. Well, I've installed all versions of Flash and Gnash, and update my drives, etc. but it's still ocurring, I updated to 12.04 but had the same problem in the previous versions..

[15:29] <tizzo> jpds: Ah. it's opendns
[15:29] <tizzo> failing to resolve and then sending me a redirect, I guess?
[15:30] <tizzo> that doesn't really make sense
[15:30] <jpds> tizzo: Lovely.
[15:31] <tizzo> and it's only happening on this box.

[15:36] <BlindedCannibal> bazhang, No, I solved the blue video issue, now It just appears a error-screen, Gnash is removed and Flash I have the recent version
[15:36] <shinchan> Quit
[15:36] <bazhang> BlindedCannibal, what is the error/issue exactly
[15:36] <carioca> hello
[15:37] <BlindedCannibal> bazhang, It just says Shockwave flash plugin error
[15:38] <BlindedCannibal> bazhang, Can't even display the vid.
[15:38] <av8r> does anyone know how to disable the AGC (automatic gain control) for pulseaudio
[15:38] <bazhang> BlindedCannibal, what website/websites; what happens when you download the flv and play in mplayer
[15:38] <tizzo> jpds: yep, looks like opendns was sending me off to the wrong place for that url, I replaced it with a mirror and everything is working
[15:39] <tizzo> seems less than ideal, but I guess it'll work
[15:39] <jpds> tizzo: Cool.

[15:40] <shuhaib> any one help?
[15:40] <Pici> !ask
[15:40] <auronandace> shuhaib: we cannot read your mind
[15:41] <BlindedCannibal> bazhang, basically every flash video does it, I've installed basically all versions of Adobe flash Player, and for some times it plays cool, but after a while it starts again to show the error , I'll try to download the flv , 1min
[15:41] <tSec> the cups package in 12.04 (1.5.2) is broken with my printer. Can anyone explain to me how to get an older cups (1.5.0) package installed so I can print while this is beeing fixed?
[15:42] <auronandace> tSec: it would just be an older ppd you want rather than replacing the whole of cups
[15:42] <MonkeyDust> shuhaib  start with asking a question
[15:42] <Duality> would it be possible to run a virtual box under ubuntu server, and then have run windows image or something ?
[15:43] <wylde> Duality: yes
[15:43] <Duality> with graphics and everything ?
[15:43] <shuhaib> I wanna block all the sites even google ,I need to allow only my company email and company sites ,Do we have any simple method to impliment this
[15:43] <shagoyjo> I have some files that I untarred. They show up in ls, and tab autocomplete, but commands cannot find them. What is the process to rectify this?
[15:43] <shuhaib> Please help ........
[15:43] <wylde> Duality: that's what I have to run my lame printer that doesn't support linux at all :)
[15:43] <shagoyjo> shuhaib: you can us iptables
[15:43] <Duality> wylde did you follow a tutorial to setup ?
[15:44] <eddytv> Anybody familiar with grub on a RAID1 root disk and "mounting /dev/disk/by-uuid on /root failed: Device or resource is busy" error? (Ubuntu 11.04)
[15:44] <shagoyjo> shuhaib: *use, sorry
[15:44] <shagoyjo> shuhaib: you can set the default network action to block and then allow only your corporate IP adresses
[15:45] <shuhaib> Hi shagoyj
[15:45] <shuhaib> How it can be the command
[15:45] <wylde> Duality: nope, snippets of stuff to get the vm going (it was headless) so I had to setup my vm on the command line.
[15:45] <shagoyjo> shuhaib: the easiest way for the beginner to deal with IP tables is with something like iptables-persistent, which I think comes standard in ubuntu now?
[15:45] <shagoyjo> shuhaib: let me look it up really quick
[15:45] <eddytv> Server boots fine if both /dev/sda and /dev/sdb are physically present, but if I disconnect /dev/sdb, the server doesn't boot and gives the above error.
[15:46] <shuhaib> sure
[15:46] <Duality> wylde, is it hard to do?
[15:46] <shuhaib> they told me to impliment tommorrow
[15:46] <BlindedCannibal> bazhang, Flv with Mplyayer works just fine...
[15:46] <shagoyjo> shuhaib: here's your tutorial on iptables use in ubuntu https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo
[15:46] <eddytv> (this is even after I mdadm --fail and then mdadm --remove /dev/sdb)
[15:47] <wylde> Duality: I didn't find it hard. Not everyone has the same amount of patience tho! lol :)
[15:47] <bazhang> BlindedCannibal, so its an issue with the flash plugin for firefox, or whatever browser you are using
[15:47] <shagoyjo> shuhaib: basically you're just going to set the default filter to "all" and then create allow entries for all of the ip's or ip ranges you wish to let through.
[15:47] <Duality> i got a lot of patience, i tried getting a linux image to run on my pda toke me three days
[15:47] <Duality> two of them were without sleep :S
[15:47] <eddytv> Any suggestions? Spent several hours trying to get this resolved with no luck.
[15:48] <neokya> Hello everyone
[15:48] <AlphaGuyy> Hi
[15:48] <wylde> Duality: http://jplate.servehttp.com/  <--- click on pages  then click on Win2k VM Print Server. Nothing fancy the basic steps I took. Was a while ago.
[15:48] <neokya> I have dual boot, windows 7 and Ubuntu
[15:48] <neokya> I am using ubuntu for a while
[15:48] <neokya> Today I saw that my file system is NTFS instead of ext4
[15:48] <bazhang> !enter | neokya
[15:49] <shagoyjo> Anyboddy got any clues about my filesystem issue? I have files that show  up for ls and tab autocomplete, but cannot be found by programs or run (where they are executable). Anybody dealt with this before? They came from a tarball, so I assume that has something to do with the issue.
[15:49] <neokya> Now I want to change it, how should I go?
[15:49] <neokya> Should I format it all and reinstall Ubuntu, as I don't want windows anymore
[15:49] <Duality> thanks :)
[15:49] <shuhaib> Thanks shagoyjo
[15:49] <BlindedCannibal> bazhang, Oh, strange it happens with every browser,  thanks D:
[15:50] <tSec> auronandace: the ppd hasn't changed as far as i can see.
[15:50] <neokya> ok
[15:50] <shagoyjo> shuhaib: np. iptables is a robust and useful tool. Become proficient and you can sue for a pay raise :-)
[15:50] <auronandace> tSec: then it should work the same, i'd have thought
[15:50] <bazhang> neokya, wubi install? ubuntu won't be on an ntfs
[15:50] <tSec> auronandace: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cups/+bug/992982
[15:50] <vp18> has anyone on here heard of Pear os?
[15:50] <AlphaGuyy> Anyone familiar with gpen 340?
[15:51] <Pici> vp18: #ubuntu-offtopic probably has.
[15:51] <bazhang> vp18, yes, its offtopic here
[15:51] <tSec> so while this is beeing worked on, i'd like to be able to print anyway :)
[15:51] <wawowe> neokya: assuming you installed using something like wubi, in windows. yeah, format and reinstall.
[15:51] <Onixs> woot
[15:51] <Duality> wylde you made that website ?
[15:51] <tdelam> can anyone recommend me a terminal for Ubuntu 12.04?
[15:51] <tdelam> or do most people use the default Terminal
[15:51] <wylde> Duality: yeah, nothing fancy just my hobby site
[15:52] <tdelam> I am used to OS X where I was enjoying iTerm2 :) was wondering if there is something similar
[15:52] <bazhang> tdelam,  a dropdown one like guake?
[15:52] <neokya> Ok. My query in one line: I have dual boot up, windows 7 and ubuntu. I just noticed that my filesystem on Linux is NTFS which is making it slow to read and write data/files. Now I want to change it. How to change from NTFS to EXT4? Should I format everything and reinstall Ubuntu? PS> I don't want windows anymore.
[15:52] <wylde> Duality: it's been seriously neglected for a while now too lol
[15:52] <RingZer0> i know i can do nousb with vilinuz, but what about no1394 ?
[15:52] <Duality> wylde, nice site :)
[15:52] <RingZer0> e.g. no firewire, how would I do that?
[15:52] <bazhang> neokya, thats a wubi install then?
[15:52] <wylde> Duality: thanks :)
[15:52] <neokya> Yes, it's wubi
[15:52] <tSec> so noone can help me installing an older cups version?
[15:53] <tdelam> bazhang: not necessarily, just something simple like this: http://www.iterm2.com/#/section/features
[15:53] <tdelam> bazhang: an equivalent I guess :)
[15:53] <bazhang> neokya, and you want only ubuntu, and get rid of windows completely?
[15:53] <neokya> yes
[15:53] <neokya> exactly
[15:53] <bazhang> neokya, then get the cd and install, choose use entire disk
[15:53] <tdelam> I'm slowly weening ourselves from Apple to PC's with Ubuntu
[15:54] <rockets> Has anybody gotten a bridged (not NAT) interface working with KVM on Ubuntu 12.04? I cannot for the life of me figure out how to do it properly.
[15:54] <neokya> @bazhang, Can I do that without formating these two OSs?
[15:54] <bazhang> tdelam, you can check in the package manager/software centre, not familiar with iterm2, sorry
[15:54] <tdelam> thanks :)
[15:54] <compdoc> rockets, works the same way as in older versions
[15:54] <tdelam> i'll poke about
[15:54] <rockets> compdoc, yeah, but this is my first time setting it up :)
[15:55] <DanielConvissor> hi
[15:55] <rockets> compdoc, I'm trying to follow tutorials I've found for older versions but I just can't get it to work.
[15:55] <compdoc> rockets, is bridge-utils installed? that should be default if you install qemu-kvm
[15:55] <bazhang> neokya, dual boot? sure. the installer will see windows and tell it to install side by side
[15:55] <rockets> compdoc, yes it is installed.
[15:55] <rockets> compdoc, there is a working NAT bridge
[15:55] <rockets> compdoc, but I'm trying to create a bridge that allows my guests access to the local network
[15:55] <MonkeyDust> rockets  it's either NAT or bridged
[15:56] <compdoc> rockets, how many network cards in the system?
[15:56] <wawowe> neokya: if you're only using about half of your disk you could download something like the gparted live-cd and resize the ntfs to half the disk then dual-boot and copy your windows stuff to the ubuntu ext4 from ubuntu
[15:56] <rockets> compdoc, two
[15:56] <compdoc> good
[15:56] <DeltaHeavy> Does editing a file with sed not marked it as changed for svn?
[15:56] <rockets> compdoc, MonkeyDust, I set up this http://pastie.org/3884913
[15:56] <rockets> And then I set my guest OS to use br0
[15:56] <llutz> !info terminator | tdelam    take a look at this
[15:56] <rockets> via virt-manager
[15:56] <wawowe> neokya: after that remove the ntfs and expand ext4 into it
[15:56] <rockets> but they can'
[15:56] <compdoc> whats your /etc/network/interfaces file look like? Also, did you add a network card later, or was it there when you installed?
[15:57] <rockets> but they can't get dhcp
[15:57] <eddytv> So no grub / mdadm wizards around, huh?
[15:57] <rockets> compdoc, there when I installed
[15:57] <compdoc> good
[15:57] <rockets> compdoc, full interfaces file: http://pastie.org/3884918
[15:57] <rockets> I then set the guest to use br0 via virt-manager's "Details" pain
[15:57] <Praxi> hmm so 11.10 is working fine, linux is very fragile if you don't know what your doing (like me), how hard is the upgrade to 12.04?
[15:57] <rockets> pane*
[15:58] <abrotman> Does Ubuntu have an equivalent of snapshot.debian.org? where prior versions of packages are stored?
[15:58] <abrotman> (versions not listed on packages.ubuntu.com)
[15:58] <auronandace> Praxi: if you used ppas then expect stuff to go wrong
[15:58] <fidel_> Praxi: run a backup - then start the upgrade. in best case it just works without issues - but you never know (backup)
[15:59] <auronandace> Praxi: a fresh install will always be more straightforward
[15:59] <compdoc> rockets, I think its that file - let me show you mine. just a minute...
[15:59] <foolsh> eddytv: I usually mount /boot on a small 100~200mb partition at the beginning of the first drive and set the boot flag there, then I raid the rest of the drive
[15:59] <Duality> wylde, ubuntu server keeps surprising me with stuff it can do
[15:59] <irv> so i tried doing an 'upgrade' from 11.10 to 12.04 and one of hte packages threw an error during the 'cleaning up' phase. i had to hard reset and now the install is broken. I've now booted into the 12.04 live cd and i just want to recover the documents from the home folder. it's not encrypted, so do i just take ownership of the home folder recursively and then give myself read access and copy
[15:59] <irv> away?
[15:59] <Praxi> hmm not sure on the ppas, any way to check if I've done that?
[15:59] <fidel_> auronandace: using tons of ppas here and never had upgrader issues based on that fact
[15:59] <neokya> bazhang, I mean I want to get rid of both the OSs and want a fresh Ubuntu. Can I do it without first formating?
[15:59] <wylde> Duality: you're only limited by your hardware really :)
[15:59] <rockets> compdoc, greatly appreciated
[15:59] <eddytv> foolsh: yeah, no separate /boot on this server
[15:59] <Pici> abrotman: You might be able to find earlier builds on http://launchpad.net/ubuntu/
[15:59] <foolsh> eddytv: Since you are way past that point I can't really help
[15:59] <irv> if so, what's the command to recursively take ownership of an old home folder from a livecd and give myself read access
[15:59] <jrib> irv: just mount your install an go to the folder.  You don't need to take ownership
[15:59] <Praxi> took me like 3 days to get this setup how I wanted, really don't want to reload hehe.
[15:59] <tSec> ah, managed to do it.
[16:00] <bazhang> neokya, the installer will format it for you, if that is what you choose
[16:00] <auronandace> fidel_: the amount of people i've seen with dependency issues thanks to ppas is amazing
[16:00] <wawowe> irv: how broken is the install? will it boot?
[16:00] <irv> jrib: it says permission denied since i'm booted from the livecd
[16:00] <jrib> irv: use sudo
[16:00] <eddytv> foolsh: thanks for taking the time to reply at least :)
[16:00] <jrib> irv: gksudo nautilus    for example
[16:00] <irv> it boots, but once it gets the the login screen i can't type
[16:00] <irv> ahhhhh silly me :D
[16:00] <irv> thanks man
[16:00] <neokya> bazhang: Wow that's exactly what I am looking for. I just wanted to confirm it from here. Thanks a lot. I will do fresh single install.
[16:01] <wylde> Duality: oh, one other thing about vbox headless, if you connect with RDP you're mouse is going to be jumpy as heck until you install guest additions.
[16:01] <fidel_> auronandace: must be heavy luck then here with 3 boxes ...but yeah i'll ack at that point that ppas might rise the risk
[16:01] <DanielConvissor> when running "adduser <user> --encrypt-home", i want to have a bunch of symlinks set up to say /var/mail/<user>.  don't think one can do it in /etc/skel since it's just copying files.  tried to do it in adduser.local script, but it's not flying.  adduser.local acts upon the non-decrypted directory.  adding an "ssh <user>@host <command>" to adduser.local doesn't work either because the user creation process hasn't completed, so
[16:01] <DanielConvissor> logging in via ssh at that point still sees the non-decrypted directory.  any ideas?
[16:01] <jrib> irv: once you backup your docs, you can ask for help troubleshooting yo,ur intsall
[16:01] <wawowe> irv: boot into single user mode and run apt-get -f install
[16:01] <Duality> wylde, RDP ?
[16:02] <shuhaib> Is it possible to hack  the locked wifi network
[16:02] <fetzbeast> umuu
[16:02] <auronandace> fidel_: no doubt you are one of the few people who knows what he installs and the impact it has on your systems
[16:02] <bazhang> Duality, remote desktop?
[16:02] <compdoc> rockets:        http://pastie.org/3884943
[16:02] <jrib> DanielConvissor: don't know if there's a better way, but you could create a script that runs automatically and deletes itself once it runs :P (this is probably a bad idea; look for a better way)
[16:02] <bazhang> shuhaib, thats not ontopic here
[16:02] <wylde> Duality: Remote Desktop Protocol, once you have your vm running (using VBoxHeadless) you can connect to a "desktop" using an RDP client(it's independent of the OS)
[16:02] <rockets> compdoc, whoa, what does inet manual do? I've never seen that before
[16:03] <Duality> bazhang, not really good at recognizing words that are shortend
[16:03] <compdoc> rockets, means do not assign an ip address to the bridge
[16:03] <irv> jrib: turns out it may have actually been encrypted lol
[16:03] <irv> damn it.
[16:03] <jrib> !encrypt | irv
[16:03] <jrib> irv: there should be info there on accessing it
[16:03] <shuhaib> Is it possible to hack  the locked wifi network
[16:04] <rockets> compdoc, you can just do auto eth1 and not actually set an inet, and it still brings it up i think
[16:04] <bazhang> shuhaib, stop asking.
[16:04] <bazhang> shuhaib, I told you its offtopic here
[16:04] <irv> yeah, i tried clicking the 'access you rprivate data'
[16:04] <irv> also running ecruptfs-mount-private and it says it's not setup properly
[16:04] <OptiWork> can anyone help with a glib-compile-schema error?  http://paste.ubuntu.com/978092/
[16:04] <irv> this is from the livecd
[16:04] <sirhenrik> I am experiencing choppy window movement in Ubuntu 12.04. How can I make it better? :)
[16:04] <compdoc> rockets, I dont think your interfaces file is using the standard way, but it might work that way
[16:04] <irv> from the elevated nautilus window
[16:04] <jrib> OptiWork: ENOCONTEXT
[16:04] <wylde> shuhaib: /msg alis list *backtrack*
[16:04] <shuhaib> what I am soory
[16:05] <rockets> compdoc, well my way currently doesn't work, so I'll deign to try yours :D
[16:05] <DanielConvissor> jrib: maybe.  only thought i have at this point is creating my own script for adding users that calls the adduser command and then runs my symlink creation commands.
[16:05] <compdoc> :)
[16:05] <reels> Hi,  I want to understand the bridge settings in my /etc/network/interfaces because I have some unexpected behaviour of this bridge device. Where can I start ? Neither man 5 interfaces nor the example configs mention bridge  or bridge_ports. The bridge configuration of my box is here  http://paste.ubuntu.com/978144/
[16:05] <jrib> DanielConvissor: can you do that if the home directory is encrypted?
[16:05] <compdoc> rockets, seems the main difference is that I define eth1 and eth2 before making them bridges
[16:05] <DanielConvissor> have my script ssh in as the user and
[16:05] <DanielConvissor> jrib: ^
[16:06] <OptiWork> jrib: ?
[16:06] <jrib> DanielConvissor: oh.  I guess that works too.  Both are a bit kludgy
[16:06] <shuhaib>  I wanna to disable all the sites even gooogle
[16:06] <jrib> OptiWork: you should provide context
[16:06] <OptiWork> provide context to what?
[16:06] <shuhaib> need to provide only two sites
[16:06] <bazhang> shuhaib, you were told to use iptables for that
[16:06] <DanielConvissor> jrib: yes. surprised there's no way to have adduser act upon the decrypted directory either before or after encryption.
[16:06] <jrib> OptiWork: your question, your error...
[16:07] <rockets> Ok compdoc, how's this look: http://pastie.org/3884963
[16:07] <wylde> !ufw | shuhaib
[16:07] <wylde> shuhaib: ^^ read :)
[16:07] <nischay> Hi ! guys I am using Ubuntu 12.04 on my Inspirion Dell Laptop and i facing problem .When i locked my screen by ctl+alt+l and try to unlock it nothing happend and my display does not work so i unable to unlock it .I unlock it via restarting lighdm with sudo service lightdm restart via login into tty how can i fix this problem
[16:07] <compdoc> rockets, looks good
[16:07] <shuhaib> sure
[16:07] <shuhaib> I'll try and get back you If I have any doubt
[16:08] <jrib> DanielConvissor: probably bug-worthy if adduser.local doesn't work
[16:08] <OptiWork> jrib: glib-compile-schema (compiles the user environment) mine is erroring hence the pastebin which shows the error and in what part of the schema it errors at, the context is there.)
[16:08] <irv> how do i get a root terminal from the 12.04 livecd?
[16:08] <bazhang> irv sudo -i
[16:08] <irv> thx
[16:09] <nischay> not using ctl +alt + f1
[16:09] <Whitor> Hi all.  During a 'Move to - Desktop' operation, my system locked up. -power cycled, - No OS found.   Booted with Live CD... fdisk options x then d   shows my partition table is almost entirely 00000000  (zeros)  Any ideas ? Im in crisis mode here.. and wtf is letting anything overwrite the partition table ?!?!?!
[16:09] <Duality> wylde, says unknown option --port0
[16:09] <nischay> when i try to unlock it it does not show login scrren
[16:09] <wylde> !msg | shuhaib
[16:09] <irv> when i try to type ecryptfs-mount-private from the root terminal in my home dir i get the msg "ERROR: Encrypted private directory is not setup properly"
[16:09] <wylde> Duality: moment sorry
[16:10] <irv> any other ideas? :D
[16:10] <Duality> wylde no problem :)
[16:10] <Whitor> I've got an identical system right next to me... i'm wondering if I can copy the partition table from one machine to another.... any ideas ?
[16:10] <fraterm> Whitor, that's a moment of not niceness to experience with a move operation.
[16:10] <OptiWork> Whitor: drive making strange noises?
[16:10] <Whitor> OptiWork, SSD no noise
[16:10] <shuhaib> here all the messgaes are meesed up
[16:10] <OptiWork> Whitor: firmware on drive updated?
[16:10] <fraterm> buggy SSD firmware...
[16:10] <fraterm> is possible.
[16:11]  * OptiWork nods
[16:11] <shuhaib> no problem I can text it here
[16:11] <wylde> Duality: typo on my part. I should fix that it should be '--port 0'
[16:11] <OptiWork> most common cause of SSD issues.
[16:11] <Whitor> OptiWork, how the heck do I do that in linux ? Its a drive, I don't normally update firmware on drives.
[16:11] <Duality> wylde, ok lol :)
[16:11] <shuhaib> One of my machine I am getting initram fs error
[16:11] <wylde> I'll do that now
[16:11] <shuhaib> How can I solve the problem
[16:12] <OptiWork> Whitor: go to the manufacturer website, usually they'll have firmware in an ISO you can boot from and update the firmware.
[16:12]  * fraterm nods... sometimes firmware updaters are merely downloadable images that could be USB booted in theory... run their update on a drive and go.
[16:12] <Duality> wylde same for attaching iso image also port0 ?
[16:12] <fraterm> or ISO booted yeah.
[16:12] <shuhaib> please some one
[16:12] <wylde> Duality: probably, I'll get those fixed hehe doing it right now.
[16:12] <antihc3> anyone know if PF_RING works on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS  i am trying to compile but looks like i am missing linux/pm_qos_params.h
[16:13] <OptiWork> shuhaib: did you run memtest?
[16:13] <Whitor> OptiWork, I don't like automatically  blaming everything other than the os. Its like... Until I prove it is otherwise.. it is assumed to be otherwise.
[16:13] <shuhaib> yea
[16:13] <OptiWork> shuhaib: verify your ram is functioning properly
[16:13] <shuhaib> Windows loading properly
[16:13] <fraterm> you'll have to find out your SSD vendors commitment to support.
[16:13] <shuhaib> its dual boot machine
[16:14] <Whitor> OptiWork, fitst things first. the partition table is zeroed out... I need to restore it, if possible, (It must be possible) After that, I'll recreate the bug... if it does recreate... then I'll look at firmware and such
[16:14] <OptiWork> shuhaib: Windows loading properly doesn't really mean that the ram is good, might just mean that Windows doesn't hit the bad chip, did you run a full ram test with memtest?
[16:14] <fraterm> if you did have a big time failure that did wipe the boot sector... you would then still probably need to do some grub work to rebuild your systems ability to boot to a selected OS.
[16:14] <shuhaib> yea
[16:14] <abcdef> anyone knows what happend to es.archive.ubuntu.com? the packet repository is not working, and in #ubuntu-es looks like no one knows about... (btw, it is throwing 504 to all browser petitions)
[16:14] <shuhaib> Nad i done one more step
[16:15] <wylde> Duality: fixed, hover over Pages and click the link again and those references will be fixed :) (refresh will take you back to the index page)
[16:15] <shuhaib> I put live cd of ubnutu and mount the / partion and done  fsck against
[16:15] <OptiWork> Whitor: you can try to run some disc recovery tools and see if you can locate the issue with the partition table.  Hopefully you can recover it.
[16:15] <shuhaib> and it worked couple of days
[16:15] <shuhaib> But after some times it started again
[16:15] <bazhang> !enter | shuhaib
[16:16] <shuhaib> okey ,did you got my problem Optiwork?
[16:16] <nischay> Hi ! guys I am using Ubuntu 12.04 on my Inspirion Dell Laptop  and i facing problem .When i locked my screen by ctl+alt+l and  try to unlock it nothing happend and my display does not work  so i unable to unlock it .I unlock it via restarting lighdm  with sudo service lightdm restart via login into tty how can i  fix this problem
[16:16] <Duality> wylde cool  :)
[16:16] <abcdef> anyone knows what happend to es.archive.ubuntu.com? the packet repository is not working, and in #ubuntu-es looks like no one knows about... (btw, it is throwing 504 to all browser petitions)
[16:17] <Tabaluga> whats going on in this channel
[16:17] <wylde> Duality: you're connected to a computer in my basement lol. It's just an ssh away lol :)
[16:17] <israel> nischay: try just writing the pass
[16:17] <bazhang> Tabaluga, ubuntu support
[16:17] <Whitor> OptiWork, yeah, I guess I'll come back when I have proven it is a repeatable bug .
[16:17] <OptiWork> abcdef: did you traceroute to the site?  Maybe they're down for maint, maybe someone plowed into a fiber box.
[16:18] <OptiWork> Whitor: good luck, also do check the drive's site for firmware
[16:18] <Duality> wylde, lol :P
[16:18] <abcdef> OptiWork: ping is working fine.... will look into mtr, just in case
[16:18] <FreeRun> hi
[16:18] <Whitor> the files an't so much of an issue... I have most (maybe all) already on an external HD.
[16:18] <OptiWork> Whitor: I had a machine that would dump everything after 2 days of working great until I updated firmware, no problems since.
[16:19] <Walther_> Computer shut down during an update. As a result, graphical interface doesn't start. I ran dpkg-configure -a and have updated&upgraded everything again, still no luck
[16:19] <Walther_> From clean install of Ubuntu 12.04
[16:19] <shagoyjo> I'm still hunting for info on my unfindable files problem, but if anybody has any advice, that'd be great. I have a folder that came out of a tarball, all of the files exist for ls and tab autocomplete, but every other program gives me a 'file not found'
[16:19] <FreeRun> after upgrade to 12.04 my custom launchers from gnome2 gone, how to find it? there are present in unity panel but i cannot edit them (i have there some custom scripts to control fans)
[16:19] <oto> join NotLarry
[16:19] <FreeRun> and what is the TGTV in sensors?
[16:20] <OptiWork> shagoyjo: are you trying to execute the files?  Is there a flag set on the partition that the files are in that doesn't allow you to execute or something?
[16:20] <abcdef> OptiWork: mtr is also fine for es.archive.... dunno if it is a plain mirror of archive.ubuntu.com so I could get packages from it.....
[16:20] <OptiWork> FreeRun: what are you trying to do?
[16:21] <abcdef> however some admin at the es repo should look into it
[16:21] <OptiWork> abcdef: could be in process of mirroring over.
[16:21] <theadmin> abcdef: All the CC.archive.ubuntu.com are the same as archive.ubuntu.com, mostly (CC = country code)
[16:21] <Duality> wylde, hmm seems i don't have a .iso file, alright time for dd to get busy with it (ubuntu/linux got so many nice tools for doing things in terminal)
[16:21] <shagoyjo> OptiWork: LS shows all of the permissions are set properly. I can neither run nor open any of the files, but I can navigate throught the folders, which were also in the tarball. Every command (including attempts to execute) returns "file not found"
[16:21] <shagoyjo> brb
[16:21] <abcdef> ok, will try to get manually my packages from the main source then, thanks
[16:22] <Walther> Ubuntu 12.04, no graphical desktop
[16:22] <irv> okay, this doesn't appear to be working
[16:22] <wylde> Duality:  :) yep
[16:22] <irv> pehraps it'd be more productive to troubleshoot my failed 12.04 upgrade
[16:22] <irv> :o
[16:22] <OptiWork> irv: O.o
[16:22] <theadmin> Walther: That'd be the server edition or the minimal install. Or do you mean your X (GUI) fails to load?
[16:23]  * OptiWork came here to get a question answered, ended up fielding a few fly balls.
[16:23] <irv> both recovery mode and regular mode get me to the login screen but i can't interact with it and there are two x's at the top
[16:23] <jrib> OptiWork: by context, I meant you could explain for example why you are running this command  (is it part of something larger that you are trying to accomplish?  Is it being run by some other program?).  Also, you should mention your ubuntu version
[16:23] <wylde> Duality: I keep all my install media as an iso on my "server" as well as my physical disks.
[16:23] <Walther> theadmin: as I said above, after an update failed, cannot get to desktop
[16:23] <OptiWork> jrib: trying to standardize the Unity Lauch bar
[16:24] <OptiWork> jrib: 12.04
[16:24] <FreeRun> Optiwork: i need a custom script from old gnome2 launcher
[16:24] <irv> just noticed the old kernel is still listed under 'previous linux versions' gonna try booting that
[16:24] <irv> omg HURRAY
[16:24] <FreeRun> it does'nt .desktop extension
[16:24] <irv> keyboard/mouse working
[16:24] <OptiWork> FreeRun: did you try to create a custom launcher?
[16:24] <rockets> compdoc, alright, booting a VM now. Here goes nothing.
[16:24] <irv> logging in now.. hopefully i can just grab my documents now :P
[16:25] <compdoc> rockets, good luck
[16:25] <FreeRun> OptiWork: nope coz i don;t know what is that important string
[16:25] <irv> hmm, i just have a blue screen that says 'ubuntu desktop' at the top
[16:25] <FreeRun> without them i have about 80% of CPU
[16:25] <irv> with a clock and my user name
[16:25] <rockets> compdoc, DHCP SUCCEDED. YOU ARE MY GOD.
[16:25] <FreeRun> an 120% on TGTV
[16:25] <compdoc> rockets, I love kvm

[16:26] <theadmin> Walther: Sorry, I joined just a while ago. Upgrades aren't too reliable in Ubuntu, unfortunately, a clean install normally works better.
[16:26] <jrib> OptiWork: what package provides /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas/com.canonical.gschema.override ?
[16:27] <theadmin> !find /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas/com.canonical.gschema.override
[16:27] <theadmin> Hm.
[16:27] <theadmin> jrib: Doesn't seem like anything in the repos, or maybe something from an older release, it would seem
[16:27] <OptiWork> jrib: it's customization that I've done to the launcher with all the apps that I want the users to access.
[16:27] <jrib> OptiWork: so you've created this file?
[16:28] <Walther> theadmin: ...and if you had read what I said, I did a clean install, I was talking about a sudo apt-get install && sudo apt-get upgrade
[16:28] <shagoyjo> OptiWork : Back, sorry, for the sudden departure, emergency staff meeting.
[16:28] <OptiWork> FreeRun: check http://paste.ubuntu.com/978196/  for an example of one of mine.
[16:28] <OptiWork> jrib: yes.
[16:28] <FreeRun> ok
[16:28] <Walther> ...anyway, I'll try and continue on my own
[16:28] <jrib> OptiWork: the file contents would also be good context to provide :)
[16:28] <OptiWork> jrib: in dconf-editor I can see that the "Type" is set to "as"
[16:28] <theadmin> Walther: Ah, sorry. Well... I have no idea how to help without any idea of what might have really happened, sorry
[16:29] <Kage-> Does anyone know how to add an _existing_ Intel Matrix RAID array to a Linux installation?
[16:29] <shagoyjo> OptiWork : It seems like I can mv the files and CP them, but not do anything else?
[16:29] <OptiWork> jrib: but I never changed it I just used what was there.
[16:29] <FreeRun> hmm... ok, but i know how to add new, but i need to RESTORE old
[16:29] <jrib> OptiWork: I'm confused because you just told me you created it
[16:29] <liam__> 。。。
[16:29] <OptiWork> shagoyjo: then check how the partition that those files are located on is mounted, sounds like you've got some flags set for it that are incorrect or you don't have the right permissions to do them.
[16:30] <FreeRun> OptiWork: i have custom launcher called "fan1" how to find them in system?
[16:30] <FacedeProut> anybody can help me with this : I get black screen after 20-30 minutes on ubuntu 12.04. Can't log in terminal or do any shit...just restart!!
[16:30] <FreeRun> FacedeProut: check sensors... my laptop burning with new install with compiz, better is under gnome
[16:30] <FreeRun> but the same problem...
[16:31] <shagoyjo> OptiWork: it's on the same partition as /, so I'm not sure I follow. And the permissions are fine. I can move, delete, copy the files.
[16:31] <auronandace> !language | FacedeProut
[16:31] <FreeRun> the worst is when i'm using unity + compiz
[16:31] <FacedeProut> lol sorry
[16:31] <OptiWork> jrib: I created the file which is a txt file that gets compiled into the schema by running the command, my file lists all the favorites aka icons on the launch bar that I specify.  The error comes from the location of the "favorites" (key for the lack of a better word) that I didn't set.
[16:31] <auronandace> FacedeProut: checked the screensaver settings?
[16:31] <FacedeProut> FreeRun: sensors?
[16:31] <FreeRun> it's bot
[16:31] <shagoyjo> OptiWork: also, wouldn't I be getting "permission denied" not "no such file or directory"?
[16:31] <FreeRun> yes, CPU, GPU temp.
[16:32] <FreeRun> CPU GPU temp
[16:32] <theadmin> FacedeProut: Sounds ridiculous, but if your keyboard has num/caps/scroll sensors (all or any) check if they're blinking. If they are, it's a kernel panic, which gives some more information
[16:32] <theadmin> s/sensors/lights/
[16:32] <FreeRun> anybody know how to manually set up fan speed?
[16:32] <FacedeProut> theadmin: no it looks like it still running...its just a black screen and doesnt respond to any keyboard entry
[16:32] <OptiWork> shagoyjo: well in some cases a drive can be mounted as a folder and not given execute permission for example.  This doesn't seem to be the case for you though as you've said the folder is right on the root.
[16:33] <FreeRun> actually fans working only with 2000rpm
[16:33] <OptiWork> FreeRun: which card?
[16:33] <FreeRun> even if CPU has 80 degress :|
[16:33] <shagoyjo> Optiwork : Hence my puzzlelation XD
[16:33] <OptiWork> FreeRun: and do you have the drivers for it installed?
[16:33] <theadmin> FacedeProut: I see... hm.
[16:33] <snapdata> Hi. My browsers (through html5 or direct input) work with PulseAudio just fine. However, when Flash utilizes a microphone I do not see a recording source in pavucontrol. Any input is greatly appreciated, I've been searching the forum and googling for hours and have yet to find any information at all.
[16:33] <jrib> OptiWork: so if you remove this .override file and compile your settings again, does the file get recreated?
[16:33] <FreeRun> i think yes... i have upgraded from 10.04 lts
[16:33] <FreeRun> when everything works fine
[16:34] <FacedeProut> everything worked fined in 10.04...
[16:34] <FreeRun> and maybe important thing is that i'm running it on mac book pro 3.1
[16:34] <theadmin> snapdata: methinks Flash uses ALSA directly, I have no idea if they have any pulse support
[16:34] <OptiWork> jrib: it would just compile without error but also with the "standard" launcher items
[16:35] <OptiWork> snapdata: does pulseaudio show that flash is trying to use the correct "recording" device when the flash is running?
[16:36] <jrib> OptiWork: pastebin the contents of the relevant .override file please
[16:36] <woolala> because the flash in 12.04 doesn't let you to change and block settings
[16:36] <bakarat> i had a hd die on me and i took it out of the pc, now i'm trying to boot the pc without a harddisk, just from live cd, but the computer doesn't budge, do you _need_ a harddisk just to boot?
[16:37] <OptiWork> jrib: http://paste.ubuntu.com/978213/
[16:37] <OptiWork> jrib: was already doing that when you asked ;P
[16:37] <bakarat> (the power goes on, it makes a vain attempt to start -the fan spins for about half a turn- then it stops, it does not show any initial system information)
[16:37]  * woolala pulls out webcams and microphones rapidly
[16:38] <jrib> OptiWork: oh so is this favorites thing something you manipulate through the interface?
[16:38] <irv> any way to run a terminal command to make nautilus show hidden files by default?
[16:38] <irv> ctrl-h and the view menu is borked
[16:39] <alesan> hi is there a "silverlight" plugin for Ubuntu?
[16:39] <apan_> hm is there any command in netstat or whatever, to see which ports are open/active?
[16:39] <jagginess> anyone knows what i can look into a problem i'm having- my mouse is registering two click instead of 1..
[16:39] <theadmin> alesan: moonlight
[16:39] <irv> alesan: last i saw, moonlight
[16:39] <OptiWork> jrib: this is just the Unity Launcher, and the favorites is the order in which the buttons appear on the launchbar.
[16:39] <bakarat> apan_, netstat -tn?
[16:39] <alesan> theadmin, irv so I install it in apt-get?
[16:39] <auronandace> !moonlight | alesan
[16:40] <irv> or perhaps a way to tell nautilus to go to a particular path by specifying the path?
[16:40] <alesan> E: Unable to locate package moonlight-plugin-mozilla
[16:40] <apan_> bakarat: no, thanks anyway
[16:40] <alesan> auronandace, that command does not work
[16:40] <theadmin> irv: That one is possible, just "nautilus /opt" (replace /opt with your path)
[16:40] <bakarat> alesan, just searching for moonlight in synaptic should do the trick i assume
[16:40] <jagginess> !click
[16:41] <auronandace> alesan: hmm, must be outdated sorry
[16:41] <alesan> bakarat, it only finds a library
[16:41] <trism> OptiWork: I don't believe you should quote the favorites list
[16:41] <bakarat> alesan, o, i'm sorry i've never actually used moonlight or silverlight for that matter
[16:42] <jrib> OptiWork: try getting rid of the "
[16:42] <alesan> bakarat, nor me, I hate the mono stuff, the developers are traitors that want MS to have success
[16:42] <hareldvd> no right click menu on launcher. Any idea?
[16:42] <bakarat> alesan, that's the spirit! :)
[16:42] <jrib> OptiWork: both of them obviously :P
[16:42] <GeoGeek> I need some help installing termpkg in ubuntu 11.10 server. Can anybody tell me how to add an appropriate repository so I can use apt to install it? Actually all I really need out of that pkg is ttyd.
[16:42] <alesan> bakarat, but I need to see a shitty website that uses silverlight
[16:43] <bakarat> alesan, that sucks, i've never actually been on a site that has needed silverlight before
[16:43] <OptiWork> ....
[16:43] <OptiWork> jrib: /me feels like a fktard now
[16:43] <auronandace> !language | OptiWork
[16:43] <mash__> exit
[16:43] <theadmin> mash__: You want /quit
[16:43] <bakarat> do you need "a" harddisk just to boot a pc? (i know it's a stupid question, but my pc ain't doing much of anything atm)
[16:43] <OptiWork> jrib: every other setting was in "" and this was the ONLY thing that didn't require them, go figure.
[16:44] <alesan> OK thanks bye!!!
[16:44] <jrib> OptiWork: heh
[16:44] <auronandace> bakarat: no
[16:44] <OptiWork> jrib: thanks for haning in there with me on it
[16:44] <theadmin> bakarat: Not really, you can successfully boot a PC from just a CD/USB stick.
[16:44] <jrib> OptiWork: no problem
[16:44] <bakarat> auronandace, theadmin crap, then i guess i got bigger problems
[16:44] <OptiWork> ok now to test and see if they all work with a new user
[16:44] <Si2100> Hi GUys, i have a problem with Ubuntu Server 12.04... The Static IP keeps dropping connection on Reboot
[16:45] <OmaR> good afternoon
[16:45] <theadmin> bakarat: what is your problem exactly?
[16:46] <auronandace> bakarat: elaboration requested
[16:46] <OmaR> first time here installed ubuntu 11.10 on a usb and it doesnt want to shut down
[16:47] <wylde> bakarat: you can boot without a hard disk using a few methods. A CD/USB using a live system, or booting from a remote server LTSP/PXE boot.
[16:47] <theadmin> OmaR: Happens from time to time, appending "reboot=bios" to the kernel line should help
[16:47] <bakarat> auronandace,  theadmin, well, about a week ago, my hd died. the pc could still boot (i could access bios etc). i took the hd out to another pc to recover data as much as possible. now -after a week of doing nothing- i'm trying to boot the old pc without a hd (to check if it supports usb-based boot) but when i fire it up, the fan spins for about half a turn, you hear it doing something for a millisecond, then it just does nothing. there is no
[16:47] <bakarat>  output at all, i can't access bios or anything
[16:48] <me-1> hi... can Ubuntu 12.4 iso fit on a CD...?
[16:48] <jpds> me-1: Of course.
[16:48] <Tux> bakarat, that most likely suggests complete hardware failure then
[16:48] <OmaR> sweet it seems to save changes fine I want to set it up to recover windows
[16:48] <theadmin> me-1: Surely, it's intended to.
[16:48] <bakarat> Tux, that's what i'm starting to think as well, though i find it odd that it did boot even after the hd was dead, but now does nothing at all anymore
[16:49] <wylde> bakarat: if you had the case open fiddling with things check to make sure everything is still seated correctly (can I assume you took proper static precautios?)
[16:49] <theadmin> me-1: Pretty much all Linux distros fit on a CD, and if they don't they usually do say it's a DVD image
[16:49] <me-1> jpds, theadmin  but its 701 mb where cds only have 700 mb capicty
[16:49] <wylde> precautions*
[16:49] <jpds> me-1: Where did you get the image from?
[16:49] <bakarat> wylde, ye, i think i'll need to take it apart and put it back together again (i "think" i take proper static precautions)
[16:49] <irv> so it appears as though unity is broken in my failed half 11.10/12.04 install. is there a way to launch a diff window manager from the login screen?
[16:50] <mafiaboy> can anyone help to install bcm4312 chipset (wireless drivers)
[16:50] <me-1> jpds,  ubuntu.com downloading now and DAP telling me its 701.29 MB
[16:50] <wylde> bakarat: just make sure you touch the case before touching any cards if you don't have an anti-static strap.
[16:50] <theadmin> jpds: Confirmed: http://releases.ubuntu.com/precise/ubuntu-12.04-desktop-i386.iso - Chromium says "701MB".
[16:50] <theadmin> Nevertheless I think it's supposed to fit on a CD anyway %)
[16:50] <bakarat> wylde, that's pretty much what i do (don't have the strap :))
[16:50] <Chuck_Norris> mafiaboy: sudo apt-get install firmware-b43-installer
[16:51] <bakarat> wylde, out of curiosity, do you feel like a jolt or something if you mess up? or does it just die silently?
[16:51] <Chuck_Norris> mafiaboy: sudo apt-get install b43-fwcutter
[16:51] <Chuck_Norris> meinwhile Chuck Norris... http://i.imgur.com/gZe3p.jpg   http://i.imgur.com/qTJHK.png   http://i.imgur.com/TRn2K.png
[16:52] <wylde> bakarat: good stuff then :) If you here/feel a "shock" (like rubbing your feet on a carpet and just touching someone) then worry. heh
[16:52] <bakarat> wylde, k :)
[16:52] <mafiaboy> chuck_Norris:http://pastebin.com/wnKAz5mw
[16:52] <wylde> bakarat: if you're touching a card.
[16:52] <bakarat> well i guess i know what i'll be doing tonight....
[16:53] <Chuck_Norris> mafiaboy: paste it on http://paste.ubuntu.com
[16:53] <Chuck_Norris> please
[16:53] <bakarat> thanks for the feedback everyone! gonna go get my hands dirty :)
[16:54] <Tux> mafiaboy, then use apt-get install firmware-b43-lpphy-installer
