[11:39] <ActionParsnip> RomeoAva: thats what the forums, questions forum and official docs are for
[11:40] <cfhowlett> RomeoAva: you mean like the many, many FREE downloadable ubuntu How To guides?
[11:40] <Halexander9000> ActionParsnip: Any idea where I might find help?
[11:40] <ActionParsnip> RomeoAva: its the same in ANY OS you can name
[11:40] <ActionParsnip> Halexander9000: are there bugs reported?
[11:40] <Halexander9000> RomeoAva: Google moar.
 yes, but for exmple for the same problem you have 100 posts. And you have to read a lot. Is better to have the solved problems in a list: FAQ
[11:41] <Halexander9000> ActionParsnip: How do I check that?
[11:41] <ActionParsnip> RomeoAva: its the same for WIndows, the ones that are successfully solved get marked as so in the subect
[11:41] <ActionParsnip> Halexander9000: check on launchpad
[11:41] <Halexander9000> ActionParsnip: Do I run cheese from the terminal and see what is says when it glitches?
[11:41] <RomeoAva> ActionParsnip> RomeoAva: (its the same in ANY OS you can name) yes but in Linux. In windows is all in one place
[11:41] <auronandace> !launchpad | Halexander9000
[11:41] <ActionParsnip> Halexander9000: sure, run it from terminal and the output may be useful
[11:42] <Halexander9000> ActionParsnip: Woot! Alright then. Here goes nothing.
[11:42] <cherva> is there a way to stop the unity of grouping similar windows like terminals or skype chats ?
[11:42] <ActionParsnip> RomeoAva: it's really not, there are countless windows forums, just like in Ubuntu
[11:42] <andrevieira> Has anyone worked with bacula?
 (RomeoAva: you mean like the many, many FREE downloadable ubuntu How To guides?) That cud be great, but ... in one place. Fro to read onli one material, professional make it.
[11:43] <ActionParsnip> !manual | RomeoAva
[11:44] <cfhowlett> ActionParsnip: typed faster than me .. :)
[11:44] <RomeoAva> Halexander9000> (RomeoAva: Google moar.) No, that is the problem. For to solve a problem I can find posts from 2008
[11:45] <ActionParsnip> RomeoAva: some still apply
[11:45] <Halexander9000> RomeoAva: I still say you need "moar" patience when you're Googling for help.
[11:45] <auronandace> RomeoAva: people will write what they want where they want, you can't stop that
[11:46] <RomeoAva> Yes, you right, but we need to think in terms of time. That is how we can be different
[11:46] <auronandace> RomeoAva: feel free to offer ideas
[11:46] <ActionParsnip> RomeoAva: there are posts from 2008 on Windows forums too, its the nature of the web

[11:47] <kartlos> hey guys, does anyone know how I can disable one videocard on a macbook pro running ubuntu 12.04? I boot using grub-efi so both gpu's are detected but also both are used, while I only need one.....
[11:47] <MonkeyDust> in ancient times, we used toilet doors to write our thoughts and opinions, now we use the internet
[11:47] <Halexander9000> ActionParsnip: http://pastebin.com/3hhn8Ga3 There you go. Think you can decypher what went wrong? The only new message that showed when the camera glitched the software was the last line. The Core Dump thing.
[11:47] <jalexandru> MonkeyDust: so true!
[11:49] <dobby156> does anyone even know what it is in unbuntu that caches ssh passphrases on a stock ubunutu (12.04) installation
[11:50] <lnx-e_> hey everyone
[11:50] <lnx-e_> :)
[11:50] <cfhowlett> lnx-e_: greetings.
[11:50] <geirha> dobby156: ssh-agent
[11:50] <kartlos> why is it so difficult to turn off one gpu in ubuntu? :(
[11:51] <auronandace> kartlos: hardware manufacturers don't think of linux when it comes to switchable graphics
[11:51] <dobby156> geirha: are you sure? when I try and manually run "ssh-add" then I get can not open a conenction to ssh-agent
[11:51] <auronandace> kartlos: they design for windows and mac
[11:52] <ssta> dobby156: what about: ssh-add -L
[11:52] <geirha> dobby156: It was last I checked, but that may have been an earlier release
[11:52] <auronandace> kartlos: if you want to use one gpu then you need to turn the other off in the bios
[11:52] <kartlos> auronandace: but I just want to turn one gpu off, not on, right now my macbook pro is heating up and using both gpu's, not to mention draining the battery horribly....
[11:52] <dobby156> ssta: thanks I will try that when I get off my lunuch break
[11:53] <dobby156> ssta: watch this sapce
[11:53] <kartlos> auronandace: I boot on a macbook pro using grub-efi, there is no bios involved
[11:53] <auronandace> kartlos: i've never used a mac, have fun
[11:53] <ssta> dobby156: ssh-agent is the only thing I'm aware of that caches keys...unless it's some application thing (for example filezilla caches keys I think)
[11:54] <kartlos> auronandace: Doh! I really hate a mac, but it's from work and I just want linux to work properly... :(
[11:54] <geirha> dobby156: Just booted up my laptop with 12.04, and it does indeed use ssh-agent
[11:54] <dobby156> geirha: cool thanks

[11:59] <dfour> I'm trying to install Ubuntu and having a bit of trouble, is this a good place for help? or maybe you're really just a bot ;-)
[11:59] <th0r> dfour: you will get more answers if you state the problem
[12:01] <dfour> Ok, it's my first time with linux so i'm a bit lost. i tried to install with a cd but it kept freezing when i would run it without the cd so i tried with a usb. first, it gave me an error message, then after trying some of the suggestions on the forum here, it installed fine but now freezes at the purple screen as had happened before
[12:01] <dfour> i have a toshiba sateliite-a135, intel pentium dual-core processor

 what's md5?
[12:02] <bazhang> !md5 | dfour
[12:04] <dfour> ok, i verified it and it said it was fine. i'm going to try the nomdeset solution and see if that works
[12:04] <bazhang> dfour, if that fails, consider the alternate installer
[12:04] <bazhang> !alternate | dfour
[12:05] <blambin>  dfour: is a linux newber ~~
[12:05] <bazhang> blambin, any actual ubuntu support questions?

[12:15] <wilder> I have a problem where I cannot chmod +x a exe file. Is there a command for adding a program as trusted? In the properties window it says the program is not marked at trusted but there is no option to mark it trusted
[12:15] <ActionParsnip> wilder: is the file stored on an NTFS partition?
[12:15] <wilder> yes
[12:15] <wilder> it is
[12:15] <ActionParsnip> wilder: NTFS cannot hold Linux permissions
[12:15] <blambin> who can telling me bazhang is a bot too?
[12:16] <auronandace> blambin: he isn't
[12:16] <cfhowlett> blambin: do you have an ubuntu support question?
[12:16] <bazhang> blambin, chit chat in #ubuntu-offtopic NOT here
[12:16] <wilder> ActionParsnip, Thanks that fixed it.
[12:16] <wilder> Just had to move it
[12:16] <ActionParsnip> wilder: you need to mount the NTFS so it is all executable. If you dual boot, you are not going to be able to run the apps you have installed in Windows using wine, so I wouldn't bother trying
[12:19] <koko_> ActionParsnip:  Hi, I just came back to say thanks for your patience and support earlier with regard to my wireless problem.  I have resolved the issue now with the commands: rfkill list all;  rfkill unblock all.    Thank you
[12:20] <ActionParsnip> koko_: add that to your startup and it will run automagically
[12:21] <ActionParsnip> koko_: glad you got the gold
[12:21] <koko_> ActionParsnip:  thanks!
[12:22] <wilder> ActionParsnip, this situation was programs I run all the time in mono I just happened to have put them on an NTFS partition I use as shared space between my boots
[12:23] <BluesKaj> Hi all
[12:23] <lattera> so I just installed the last round of updates, it seems my keyboard shortcuts aren't working
[12:23] <ActionParsnip> wilder: the partition needs to be mounted executable
[12:23] <ActionParsnip> hi BluesKaj
[12:24] <BluesKaj> Hi ActionParsnip
[12:24] <Sidewinder1> Mornin' BluesKaj :)
[12:24] <wilder> ActionParsnip, will it still drop linux permissions like that?
[12:24] <ActionParsnip> wilder: yes, it always will
[12:25] <wilder> ActionParsnip, coolcool.
[12:25] <ActionParsnip> wilder: but you are setting the access you need
[12:25] <wilder> ActionParsnip, indeed
[12:25] <wilder> Thanks ActionParsnip
[12:25] <dfour> ubottu: if i can't get into the grub menu, how can i change the nomodeset settings? do i need to reinstall and do it at that point?
[12:26] <BluesKaj> hey Sidewinder1 :)
[12:26] <wilder> dfour, have you played with supergrub before?
[12:26] <pkkm> Will the NVidia 300 series drivers be available in 12.04 or do I need to wait for 12.10?
[12:27] <dfour> nope, but i'm up for trying new things :-)
[12:27] <wilder> dfour, It's a bootdisk for grub. Might have the options you need. Not sure though.
[12:28] <dfour> so i need to burn that disk, then try to run it off that?
[12:28] <wilder> Yes.
[12:28] <wilder> THere is a software called unetbootin that will put it on a flash drive for you
[12:28] <ActionParsnip> pkkm: yes the proprietary driver will drive it
[12:29] <ActionParsnip> dfour: hold SHIFT at boot, and you can edit the boot
[12:29] <pkkm> ActionParsnip: do you have an estimate when will it happen?
[12:30] <auro> need a help guys..
[12:30] <ActionParsnip> pkkm: when whatwill happen?
[12:30] <ActionParsnip> auro: then ask
[12:30] <dfour> ActionParsnip: i tried that. it says "Grub loading...", then goes to the ubuntu screen and freezes
[12:30] <BluesKaj> pkkm , the 295 driver is still the recommended driver for 12.04 , the 302 and 304 are on 12.10 but the 304 has total freeze problems here
[12:30] <islandmonkey> !ask | auro
[12:30] <ActionParsnip> dfour: or you can manipulate from liveCD
[12:30] <auro> when I plug in my C300 BELKIN keyboard during booting..the keyboard power switch is on..but nothing works
[12:31] <pkkm> BluesKaj: OK, thanks for reply
[12:31] <wilder> !patience
[12:31] <linuxuz3r> hi
[12:31] <auro> but when i plug in using another keyboard it works,afterwards when I connect the same C300 BELKIN keyboard it works fine
[12:31] <chimay_1> ask ubottu ?
[12:31] <linuxuz3r> how do i update the ubuntu bootloader
[12:31] <dfour> ActionParsnip: i booted from the livecd just to use the OS and could edit from there but i'm not sure if that actually changes it since i'm running it from the disc? if it does change it, then apparently it didn't work anyway
[12:32] <ActionParsnip> auro: do you  have another keyboard you can use, you can get logged in then plug in the device and run:   dmesg | tail     it may give clues
[12:32] <ActionParsnip> dfour: you need to chroot
[12:32] <auro> yes tried those
[12:32] <auro> and lsusb too
[12:32] <dfour> ActionParsnip: what's that? i'm new to linux, fyi
[12:33] <auronandace> !chroot | dfour
[12:33] <ActionParsnip> dfour: not new to looking online for an explanation though...?
[12:33] <wilder> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chroot
[12:33] <ActionParsnip> dfour: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2011/09/live-usb-sticking-grub-2-video
[12:33] <dfour> ActionParsnip: luckily, the bot will give me the answer before google ;-)
[12:34] <ActionParsnip> dfour: the bot doesnt trigger automatically, t was auronandace who made it happen
[12:34]  * wilder ponders existence.
[12:34] <dfour> ah, well, in case, now i have the answer
[12:34] <ActionParsnip> dfour: instead of immediately askng for clarification of new phrases and words, try the web a little, you'll learn more
[12:34] <chimay_1> nice bot ...
[12:35] <dfour> ActionParsnip: i've tried the web to solve this and it's been a long process already
[12:35] <ActionParsnip> chimay_1: she's dead handy
[12:35] <ActionParsnip> dfour: how, when youhave only just now heard the term chroot?
[12:36] <dfour> ActionParsnip: it's never come up as one of the solutions/problems. on the other hand, i had seen the solution suggested here but hadn't tried it since it didn't quite match the problem i was having
[12:36] <Sidewinder1> dfour, In a terminal type man <any command> to learn about it and it's syntax.
[12:36] <wilder> Anyone have suggestions for password managers? I've been using keepass.
[12:36] <Sidewinder1> If you didn't already know.
[12:37] <linuxuz3r> how do i update the ubuntu splash screen
[12:37] <ActionParsnip> dfour: but now it has, so you saying that you tried the web _after_ you have the new option is unintelligent....
[12:37] <bieb> anyone here using Centrify for Active Directory authentication?
[12:37] <auronandace> !ad | bieb

[12:38] <burdickjp> when I boot into kubuntu I get a black screen unless I switch to a console and back.  Can anybody suggest where I might start looking for a solution to this?
[12:38] <bieb> auronandace: thanks for the link.. but I already have centrify installed.. I have an issue and was looking for someone that is already using Centrify

[12:41] <chimay_1> !coffee | chimay_1
[12:41] <chimay_1> well tried

[12:41] <burdickjp> thank you.  I will try nomodeset
[12:42] <wilder> pkkm, I'll check that out. Been just putting keepass on all my devices
[12:42] <ActionParsnip> hate-flash: can you give a pastebin of the output of:  lsb_release -a; uname -a; dpkg -l | egrep 'flash|gnash|swf|spark'
[12:42] <SkyKnight> #rails
[12:42] <chimay_1> islandmonkey: thx for the tip ;)
[12:42] <wilder> pkkm, having that file all over the place is weird to me
[12:42] <pkkm> wilder: LastPass needs a premium account for some of the mobile features though
[12:43] <pkkm> But for basic usage, the non-premium account is totally sufficient.
[12:43] <wilder> Yeah this is pretty cool
[12:44] <burdickjp> I edited /etc/default/grub to include nomodeset as a kernel option, ran update-grub and I'm still getting a black screen on boot, which is fixed by toggling to another console and back.
[12:44] <ActionParsnip> burdickjp: what video chip do you use?
[12:44] <burdickjp> GMA 600
[12:45] <ActionParsnip> burdickjp: hmm, tried the safe vga option? Are you fully updated?
[12:47] <ajnr> how to knwo the version of ns-2 (network simulator) through command line /Terminal !
[12:47] <burdickjp> I am not fully updated.  My next point of contention is that my wif is locking up after about 10 seconds of use, making an initial update excruciatingly painful
[12:48] <burdickjp> this appears to be the only device on the planet which uses the "dell 1535c" wifi device.  I believe it is made by atheros, but it does not come up under "lspci"
[12:48] <burdickjp> "lsusb" brings it up, which is odd, as it's a mini-pci device
[12:49] <burdickjp> it just says "atheros" there
[12:50] <burdickjp> I have to modprobe sdhci with debug_quirks=4 for it to connect at all, it will stay connected for 10 seconds or so, and then lock up
[12:53] <burdickjp> i can rmmod sdhci and sdhci_pci, then modprobe them back and everything is fine for about 10 seconds, before it locks up again
[12:56] <burdickjp> where would I begin pursuing this problem, so that I can be up-to-date for the other problem?

[12:59] <bobweaver> Blazemore,  like ActionParsnip  said just type in passwords (you can also type in seahorse) and get the same thing.

[13:07] <compdoc> Calahan, in /etc/  are there any single files named motd.*  ? such as motd.conf ?
[13:07] <bobweaver> wow that is not a good idea
[13:07] <bobweaver> Unity lives in usr/lib
[13:08] <Calahan> compdoc no there are no files named motd.*
[13:08] <bobweaver> play with nux and build your own is the way to go at that point
[13:08] <AloceR> bobweaver: nux ?
[13:08] <bobweaver> nux is the rendering lib for unity
[13:08] <islandmonkey> !info nux
[13:08] <islandmonkey> !info libnux
[13:08] <bobweaver> !info nux-core
[13:09] <bobweaver> Oo
[13:09] <islandmonkey> Eh?
[13:09] <Dr_Willis> ;)
[13:09] <AloceR> :((
[13:09] <compdoc> Calahan, what files are in /etc/update-motd.d/   ?   those files are used to build the motd
[13:09] <bobweaver> that is crap
[13:09] <Dr_Willis> i will stick to the panel on the left... ;)
[13:09] <AloceR> i think i should get out of ubuntu :P and change my distro tired of the look
[13:09] <Mandalord> one small question: Why should I register ubuntu irc nickname?
[13:10] <compdoc> Calahan, the real motd file is in /var/run/motd
[13:10] <Dr_Willis> AloceR:  install a different de if you want a different de
[13:10] <MonkeyDust> AloceR  if you don't like unity, use some other DE, like i do
[13:10] <bobweaver> AloceR,  http://unity.ubuntu.com/getinvolved/development/unity/#build-nux
[13:10] <islandmonkey> Mandalord: You don't need to.
[13:10] <islandmonkey> It's optional
[13:10] <bobweaver> Read them pages
[13:10] <Halexander9000> Can anyone help me, please, with a little problem regarding my webcam? I want to disable autoexposure on my /dev/video1 device. Can it be done?
[13:10] <AloceR> ty bobweaver
[13:11] <Mandalord> islandmonkey: okay thx
[13:11] <islandmonkey> And this is freenode, not a dedicated irc server for Ubuntu
[13:11] <tjol> I run the latest Ubuntu desktop. Suddenly, when upgrades or installations are done - it asks me for a password. I have tried each and every password that I have ever used - but to no avail. Furthermore - It did not ask that in the beginning. And I did not set a password. Anybody that can help?
[13:11] <islandmonkey> :)
[13:11] <DJones> Mandalord: Some channels do require a registered nick to br able to speak in them though
[13:11] <compdoc> Halexander9000, those settings tend to be in the web gui for the cam
[13:11] <bobweaver> np AloceR  I suggest using unity 2d to make your own dock ect then move up to 3d as QT has way more documentation
[13:11] <Halexander9000> compdoc:  The what now?
[13:11] <Calahan> compdoc i have these files in /etc/update-motd.d$ but i havent changed there anything http://paste.ubuntu.com/1144814/
[13:11] <AloceR> i will mer30 bobweaver
[13:12] <islandmonkey> DJone: What, some ubuntu channels or freenode channels?
[13:12] <islandmonkey> DJones: What, some ubuntu channels or freenode channels?
[13:12] <compdoc> Halexander9000, open the ip address for the cam in a browser
[13:12] <Calahan> when i log i just see default motd but for some strange reason system prints it twice
[13:12] <MonkeyDust> what's mer30?
[13:12] <DJones> islandmonkey: Generally not the ubuntu channels, but others on the network
[13:12] <jrib> Calahan: can you pastebin exactly what you are seeing?
[13:12] <Dr_Willis> Calahan: could be your .bashrc or somthing is starting a second login shell
[13:12] <nadia> howto fix a corrupt square mouse pointer at first boot? (this only happens 1 time a day, after reboot its gone..)
[13:13] <AloceR> :P merc sry
[13:13] <Dr_Willis> nadia:  sounds like a video driver bug
[13:13] <nadia> Dr_willis: something like this: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-ati/+question/144040
[13:14] <Halexander9000> compdoc: (16:12:47) Halexander9000: It's not a internet connected camera, it's just a usb peripheral.
[13:14] <Halexander9000> (16:13:09) Halexander9000: It's located within the Ubuntu file system at /dev/video 1
[13:14] <compdoc> Calahan, oh - the setting you want is in /etc/ssh/sshd_config
[13:14] <nadia> Dr_willis: i think both systems got upgraded to precise, you think clean install would solve?
[13:14] <newcorey> I always wonder where to compile my downloaded programs from source, is it ok to compile them in a custom directory or use some of: /usr/src , /usr/local/src ?
[13:14] <Dr_Willis> nadia:  does it do it on every 'cold' power on?
[13:14] <nadia> Dr_willis:yes, only first boot in the morning
[13:14] <Dr_Willis> nadia:  i always do clean installs ;)
[13:14] <jrib> newcorey: compile anywhere you want
[13:14] <compdoc> Calahan, those files in /etc/update-motd.d are the same as mine, so thats good
[13:14] <Calahan> compdoc you mean i have to change someting in /etc/ssh/sshd_config?
[13:15] <Dr_Willis> nadia:  if you power off now.. and power on.. it does it?
[13:15] <compdoc> Halexander9000, ooops - I thought you meant an IP cam. sorry
[13:15] <nadia> Dr_Willis:no just 1 time a day
[13:15] <newcorey> jrib: never use /usr/local/src /usr/src what are they purpose? in theory they are for system administrators programs but I never use them
[13:15] <nadia> Dr_Willis: anywhere in logs to check whats happening?
[13:15] <Dr_Willis> nadia:  that makes no sence then.. if you power off for like an hr  or 2 then power on, does it do it?
[13:16] <jrib> newcorey: you can use them if you want, but you don't have to
[13:16] <jrib> !fhs > newcorey
[13:16] <nadia> Dr_Willis:no its really weird, i can reboot few times now, it wont bug me, tomorrowmoning square mouse pointer again
[13:16] <compdoc> Calahan, yes. change 'PrintMotd yes'  to 'PrintMotd no'
[13:17] <newcorey> jrib: thanks
[13:17] <Dr_Willis> nadia:  not rebooting.. but actually powering down.. it does not do it if you were to power off now for 5 min.. or an hr. then power back on?
[13:18] <nadia> Dr_Willis: oh didnt check 5min waiting, if so..what would it mean?
[13:18] <hjallen> I have attempted to upgrade from 10.10 and lost my soft raid 5.  Is there any way to get it back? suggestions on where to start?
[13:18] <foobArrr> is there a way to make nautilus not show physical lvm volumes under "Devices"?
[13:18] <Dr_Willis> nadia:  if you can 'force' it to happen then you could try different fixs
[13:18] <bunjee> anyone tell me where the start menu is?
[13:19] <Halexander9000> Is there anyone here that knows a script or a command to run in terminal that allows me to disable the auto-exposure of the /dev/video1 webcam device connected to my computer? I need some urgent help here, pretty please!
[13:19] <Dr_Willis> nadia:  possible work around, have rc.local restart lightdm on each boot

[13:22] <bunjee> ubottu: i have been trying to find applications that I have installed from the software center and can't.
[13:23] <MonkeyDust> bunjee  start from the beginning, what DE are you using, what have you tried before you came here
[13:23] <R4is> Hi.
[13:23] <L3top> MonkeyDust: MonkeyDustZXZZ
[13:24] <L3top> sorry... was cleaning keyboard.
[13:24] <hjallen> anyone with suggestions on how to go about recovering a soft raid5 after a failed upgrade?
[13:24] <MonkeyDust> L3top  i'm not taking it personally
[13:25]  * R4is               hello.
[13:25] <Guest50667> hello world
[13:25] <compdoc> never heard that one before

[13:26] <bunjee> monkeydust: I am going through the manual now......I havew been using 12.04 for a week or so.........
[13:27] <MonkeyDust> bunjee  that's nice, the best to learn, is by using the new interface, if it turns out you don't like it, use something different
[13:27] <MonkeyDust> way*
[13:29] <sanrabbit> "Transitional package" meas what?
[13:30] <jrib> Calahan: I assume compdoc's suggestion resolved your issue?
[13:30] <blambin> i want to make a irc chat with gtalk like this http://goondroid.com/gtalk-and-transports/ ,has any solution for ?
[13:31] <L3top> sanrabbit: typically it means a package had a name for a long time, and people are used to looking for it by that name, though there is a new package under a new name, so a dummy transitional package is there.
[13:32] <OneFix_Work> I'm having trouble compiling a static build of AIDE on an Ubuntu 12.04 server.  I have all of the required packages installed, but AIDE tells me that GCC can't make executables...
[13:33] <fidel> blambin: so you want to develop an irc client application?
[13:33] <fidel> if so - i feel somehow this is the wrong place to ask ;)
[13:33] <Calahan> brb gona reboot
[13:33] <blambin> i want to  route it via xmpp
[13:34] <blambin> have no any xmppchannel for ask
[13:34] <linuxuz3r> can you replace lightdm over gdm
[13:34] <Sit_Ubu_sit> OneFix_Work, Do you have build-essentials installed?
[13:35] <fidel> blambin: this is an ubuntu support channel for actual questions related to ubuntu ... so i guess if you are into developing - choose a language - join the language related language and ask there
[13:35] <fidel> if i misinterpret your core-question ...sorry ;)
[13:35] <linuxuz3r> can you replace lightdm over gdm
[13:35] <W4sp> linuxuz3r: You can use lightdm instead of gdm. I don't get the 'over' though.
[13:35] <linuxuz3r> i wanna use gdm
[13:35] <W4sp> !patience | linuxuz3r
[13:36] <fidel> linuxuz3r: you can replace lightdm with kdm or gdm or whatever you want afaik
[13:36] <linuxuz3r> ok
[13:36] <fidel> just run sudo dpkg-reconfigure lightdm
[13:36] <linuxuz3r> thanks fidel
[13:37] <plague> I changed /etc/ssh/sshd_config and disabled #PrintMotd yes, #PrintLastLog yes. Rebooted system, but still I get motd displayed twice :(
[13:38] <sanrabbit> L3top: thanks, but is it just a 'link'? once I installed ruby1.8, but the 'ruby' package is still purge, then I exec 'aptitude install ruby', apt downloads a package named 'ruby' and install it.
[13:39] <jrib> plague: you must actually change PrintMotd to no, not just comment it
[13:39] <plague> jrib oh i didin't know that
[13:39] <OneFix_Work> Sit_Ubu_sit: Yes
[13:39] <plague> jrib sorry for being lame
[13:39] <L3top> sanrabbit: it is not a link, it is a package, that package name exists in the package database, so if you apt-get remove it, it will remove it... however its contents either install the same contents, or links elsewhere
[13:40] <gattaus84> ciao
[13:40] <jrib> plague: well there's likely a default setting and it may be "yes"; that's why I suggest changing it to "no"
[13:40] <gattaus84> !list
[13:41] <gattaus84> !list
[13:41] <plague> jrib now it works, my problem is solved, thanks jrib and to other person who helped
[13:43] <Blazemore> Can I use coloured text in a Dialog messagebox?
[13:43] <kalebmcc> I'm trying to reinstall AMD Catalyst drivers but keep getting an error when I try to use debconf
[13:43] <kalebmcc> Can't exec "libstdc++6": No such file or directory at /usr/share/perl/5.14/IPC/Open3.pm line 186.
[13:44] <OneFix_Work> I mean, I can use the dynamic compiled version of AIDE available with Ubuntu, but I think it would be better to run a static compiled version that can be run from TMP
[13:45] <Blazemore> kalebmcc: Have you tried installing libstdc++6
[13:46] <penguin> hello! finally decided to install ubuntu 12.04 on sy notebook and i'm having issues with fan, it keeps spinning on and of while in idle. installed jupiter thinking it would solve the annoyance but didn't help. so far i tried mint and fedore (i'm new to linux and still testing) and fan was dead silent out of the box. anyone able to help? thanks
[13:47] <kalebmcc> Blazemore where can I find that package with apt?
[13:47] <AdvoWork> I've got a cronjob running a script, and the top line of that script states: foo=(/var/backups/backup/hourly/sales*); and when i run by ./script its fine, but when I run it via cron it generates this error: /home/Scripts/remove.sh: Syntax error: "(" unexpected. Any ideas?
[13:47] <datruth> how can I clone my physical drive to a .vdi file?
[13:48] <hxtk> I installed graphics card drivers on my computer, and now all panels are gone
[13:50] <kalebmcc> nevermind, I found the package, it was already installed
[13:50] <kalebmcc> rerunning the command I get another error
[13:50] <kalebmcc> debconf: DbDriver "passwords" warning: could not open /var/cache/debconf/passwords.dat: Permission denied
[13:50] <penguin> anyone?
[13:50] <AloceR> kalebmcc: try run it with sudo at first of the line
[13:51] <kalebmcc> okay, that gets rid of the DbDriver error but gives me the same error as before
[13:51] <kalebmcc> Can't exec "libstdc++6": No such file or directory at /usr/share/perl/5.14/IPC/Open3.pm line 186.
[13:51] <kalebmcc> open2: exec of libstdc++6 dkms libqtgui4 wget execstack libelfg0 dh-modaliases failed at /usr/share/perl5/Debconf/ConfModule.pm line 59
[13:52] <AloceR> idk kalebmcc sry
[13:52] <candrea> AdvoWork: in the first line of any script you should have the shebang, not code
[13:52] <CookieM> penguin have these problems occured while using windows too?
[13:52] <kalebmcc> well thanks for your help anyway! :)
[13:55] <candrea> kalebmcc: which command are you trying to run exactly? (sorry if you already said that, but I couldn't find it)
[13:55] <kalebmcc> debconf libstdc++6 dkms libqtgui4 wget execstack libelfg0 dh-modaliases
[13:55] <kalebmcc> from the guide here

[13:55] <AdvoWork> candrea, i know, i simplified it for the test, but same issue if i put that in
[13:56] <benassi> hello
[13:56] <Marzata> how to you connect to a port with ssh?
[13:56] <Marzata> let say port 1022
[13:56] <benassi> which program can I use to burn win7 image using ubuntu 12.04
[13:56] <benassi> =
[13:56] <jrib> Marzata: ssh -p 1022 HOST
[13:56] <candrea> AdvoWork: so, what's the shebang? this is important to know, because the syntax changes across different shells and interpreters
[13:57] <penguin> CookieM: no, at least i didn't notice them. i was runing mint 13 and fedora 17 so far and fan started to spin on heavy load only
[13:58] <candrea> kalebmcc: mh... that's very odd... probably the author meant 'dpkg-reconfigure' instead of debconf?
[13:59] <Marzata> jrib: Thank you, very much!
[13:59] <Blazemore> benassi: brasero
[13:59] <kalebmcc> dpkg-reconfigure gives me even more errors :\ thanks though
[13:59] <candrea> kalebmcc: though, I don't see the point of having to reconfigure that packages
[14:00] <candrea> kalebmcc: that's interesting, which errors exactly?
[14:00] <candrea> !paste | kalebmcc
[14:00] <AdvoWork> candrea, you're perfectly right, fixed, thankyou
[14:01] <kalebmcc> http://paste.ubuntu.com/1144887/
[14:01] <candrea> AdvoWork: you're welcome :)
[14:01] <tjol> Good day: I run the latest Ubuntu desktop. Suddenly, when upgrades or installations are done - it asks me for a password. I have tried each and every password that I have ever used - but to no avail. Furthermore - It did not ask that in the beginning. And I did not set a password. Anybody that can help?
[14:02] <candrea> kalebmcc: dpkg-reconfigure is complaining about the fact that execstack is not installed; run "sudo apt-get install execstack"
[14:03] <benassi> Blazemore thank you.. it is cool that it is already installed on fresh installation :D
[14:04] <kalebmcc> now it tells me that it can't find 'dh-modaliases' and sudo apt-get dh-modaliases doesn't work
[14:04] <candrea> kalebmcc: aah, probably I got it: the author meant to write a unique "apt-get install" line, but hit enter by mistake
[14:05] <candrea> kalebmcc: so, try this instead: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1144892/
[14:05] <candrea> kalebmcc: that command makes much more sense ;)
[14:06] <kalebmcc> candrea I had the same thought when you mentioned that, running now!
[14:07] <AdvoWork> i'm trying to replicate something on my old server, and i cronjob/rsync something to a remote server and pass ssh -i /location/to/a/key but i've got no idea how I created that. can i copy it from old to new server or is it specific to the local machine?
[14:08] <fjkhsdklfghsrdkl> Is there a mountable and encrypted file container, that grows in size with its content? something like apple's sparseimages/sparsebundles. I tried encfs, but it can't handle some of my files because of too long filenames.
[14:08] <tjol> Good day: I run the latest Ubuntu desktop. Suddenly, when upgrades or installations are done - it asks me for a password. I have tried each and every password that I have ever used - but to no avail. Furthermore - It did not ask that in the beginning. And I did not set a password. Anybody that can help?
[14:08] <fjkhsdklfghsrdkl> manually resizing would be an option, too
[14:09] <candrea> AdvoWork: "I've got no idea how I created that"  that == the key? If so, yes: you are free to copy it wherever you want
[14:09] <gattaus84> ciao
[14:09] <gattaus84> !list
[14:09] <geirha> tjol: It should be the same password you log in with
[14:09] <candrea> AdvoWork: you may want to update the comment (which is generally username@hostname), though you are not forced to do so
[14:10] <tjol> geirha - I do not have a password I log in with
[14:10] <tjol> I disabled the login password
[14:11] <geirha> tjol: That's why it started asking you then
[14:12] <candrea> tjol: it might be the gnome keyring password, which is unrelated to the "login" password; could you describe the dialog that asks for the password? (a screenshot would be appreciated)
[14:12] <tjol> Candrea - No - it is definately not the keyring password. That password works every time
[14:13] <fjkhsdklfghsrdkl> is there a way to increase the filename length limit of ext3/4? are there other practical file systems on linux with higher limits than 255 bytes?
[14:14] <DJones> fjkhsdklfghsrdkl: This might help http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_file_systems Gives examples of maximum lengths
[14:14] <tjol> Candrea/Geirha - this started suddenly - and like I said - I have tried every password I have ever used - but more important - I only use ONE password EVER -
[14:15] <fjkhsdklfghsrdkl> DJones: thanks
[14:16] <geirha> tjol: What exactly do you mean by "disabled the login password"?
[14:16] <vinodpaul> what
[14:17] <Lost_Cause> tjol: did you encrpyt your home folder when you install ubuntu
[14:17] <vinodpaul> no
[14:18] <candrea> tjol: there are tons of possibilities... it's difficul to help without knowing which program exactly is asking for your password :(
[14:18] <kalebmcc> okay, I got a bit further, but now the command sudo sh amd-driver-installer-*.run --buildpkg Ubuntu/precise gives me an error sh: 0: Can't open amd-driver-installer-*.run
[14:19] <mhk_> Hi, I got a problem switching off my speakers with alsa (ubuntu 12.04). If I mute speakers or headphone the master is muted as well and I have to unmute master, headphone and speakers to get my sound back. Has someone experienced similar problems?
[14:19] <candrea> tjol: as far as I know, it could even be your email client
[14:21] <candrea> kalebmcc: I assume you have downloaded the script inside your Downloads directory. If this is the case, then you should run "sudo sh $HOME/Downloads/amd-driver-installer-*.run --buildpkg Ubuntu/precise"
[14:22] <candrea> kalebmcc: however, if you have customized things or you have a non-English locale, things might be different
[14:22] <Bigbird> before that ,you'd better to remove all fglrx models
[14:23] <tjol> candrea/Lost_Cause - The password gets asked when I want to install the downloaded upgrades - or install any programme from new

[14:23] <candrea> tjol: than it is the password you have been asked for when you installed ubuntu
[14:25] <Bigbird> and you can all use root to install it
[14:25] <tjol> Candrea - what is strange is that a password only started to get asked after a couple of upgrades
[14:25] <sqrt7744> has anyone gotten Sintel (or any other blender game working)? I'm getting an OSError / permission denied...
[14:25] <NetzSoOc> quit
[14:26] <tjol> furthermore - only one password was ever used - and that works with the keyring login as wellk
[14:28] <tjol> Candrea/Lost Cause - any hope?
[14:29] <fintler> hello, when I came into work this morning, my MacPro5,1 froze up on boot with a hard lockup on cpu 4... running the latest lts
[14:29] <fintler> booting with nolapic lets it boot
[14:29] <fintler> should I file a launchpad bug?
[14:30] <candrea> tjol: try this: open a terminal and type "sudo echo". This should ask for your password and than fail with a clear error message
[14:30] <Lost_Cause> tjol: it should be the root password.  which should be the same as keyring password
[14:30] <candrea> tjol: that error message will tell us whether the problem is really the password or something else (e.g. not being in the sudoers file)
[14:31] <tjol> well - the password work with the keyring - but no where else
[14:32] <tjol> candrea - I am running duel boot here - so I will have to restart my pc - will come back shortly

[14:39] <tjol> Candrea/Lost Cause - back....Candrea - it asks me for a password if I type sudo echo in the terminal

[14:40] <tjol> and it returns with : wrong password

[14:41] <candrea> tjol: so, well... is it ok for you if I help you resetting the password? I'm asking this because you told you have dual-boot, so this way should be the fastest
[14:41] <Bigbird> I feel it works good
[14:41] <orated>  Hello! I followed -http://www.squidguard.org/Doc/install.html- and during last step of installation I get - # make install Installing squidGuard Done.Installing configuration file Created directory /usr/local/squidGuard/db chown: invalid user: `squid' make: *** [install-conf] Error 1 - How can I fix this error?
[14:41] <tjol> candrea - lets try
[14:42] <junixbr> what is the best way to convert mng in avi?
[14:42] <Dr_Willis> orated:  seems it wants a squid user.
[14:42] <tjol> I open for any suggestions
[14:42] <candrea> tjol: cool, are you familiar with chroots?
[14:42] <tjol> candrea - nope
[14:42] <Bigbird> J: hello
[14:42] <orated> Dr_Willis: I did adduser and addgroup for squid and ran the command again, still there is no clean make install
[14:42] <candrea> tjol: ok, first of all: are you writing from the "bad" operating system, or the "good" one?
[14:43] <Dr_Willis> mng? thats a new one to me. junixbr  ffmpeg, or mencoder can convert to most anything. winff, or arista are nice gui tools
[14:43] <tjol> hahahahahha :) I am using Win 7 now
[14:43] <candrea> tjol: argh, then it won't be as easy as I tought
[14:44] <candrea> tjol: you need a live cd in this case
[14:44] <tjol> my problem is that I have no IRC app on the Ubuntu
[14:44] <junixbr> Dr_Willis, I've heard about you can convert mng to png and use ffmpeg to convert pngs to avi
[14:44] <Dr_Willis> tjol:  there ones included by default, or use the irc web app
[14:44] <tjol> and If I want to download one - it asks a password to install - so catch 22
[14:45] <tjol> Dr Willis - all that is included I think is empathy
[14:45] <Dr_Willis> empathy can do irc
[14:45] <Dr_Willis> or use the freenode webchat
[14:45] <Bigbird> Pidgin can also do it
[14:45] <kalebmcc> I installed the FGLRX .deb packages, now I get a new error http://paste.ubuntu.com/1144944/ when I run sudo aticonfig --initial
[14:45] <tjol> ok - I have absolutely no idea how to use empathy
[14:46] <tjol> ok - let me go to Ubuntu and try - see you guys soon
[14:46] <Dr_Willis> or boot to the recovery mode and install stuff from there ;)
[14:46] <MonkeyDust> tjol  try to learn it, get familiar with
[14:46] <Bigbird> Why not Quassel IRC.I like it ! It can works in all OS
[14:46] <MonkeyDust> there are plenty IRC clients
[14:47] <tjol> Monkeydust - I used xchat - but cannot install it now as a result of my password issue]
[14:47] <Dr_Willis> still need better irc clients on android. ;)
[14:47] <TheShrubber> well, you could try irssi
[14:47] <TheShrubber> or weechat
[14:47] <Dr_Willis> !webchat
[14:47] <Dr_Willis> freenode has links to their webchat page somewhere
[14:48] <Pici> Dr_Willis: http://webchat.freenode.net
[14:49] <Dr_Willis> wonder if that works on my android phone. ;)
[14:49] <mkanyicy> hi
[14:49] <orated> Dr_Willis: I did adduser and addgroup for squid and ran the command again, still there is no clean make install. Any suggestion or am I using wrong command?
[14:49] <mello_> hi guys
[14:50] <candrea> Tjol: resetting a password is generally a trivial task, but if you are unfamiliar with the command-line it can be a bit difficult to explain in details
[14:50] <mkanyicy> is there a WhatsApp client for ubuntu or any linux based machine for that matter?
[14:50] <Tjol> ok - Candrea - on Ubuntu using empathy
[14:50] <joe__> how do i browse my other drives attatchedto the pc?
[14:50] <mello_> I've installed ubuntu 12.04 on my laptop, but it's getting quite hot for just browsing/idling, what can i do about it?
[14:50] <TheShrubber> joe__: Mount them
[14:50] <MonkeyDust> joe__  do they show up in nautilus?
[14:50] <joe__> i tried with gparted
[14:50] <joe__> they show there
[14:50] <candrea> Tjol: that's why I prefer to point you to this guide: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/resetpassword -- it's well-written, up to date and contains helpful screenshots
[14:51] <TheShrubber> mello_: Use Unity 2d
[14:51] <Sidewinder1> +1 on psychocats!
[14:51] <TheShrubber> mello_: or switch to xfce (or something else)
[14:51] <joe__> dunno what nautalis is
[14:51] <candrea> Tjol: if something is not clear enough or you still need help, then just ask :)
[14:51] <TheShrubber> joe__: The file manager
[14:51] <Dr_W2> heh freenode webchat does work  ;;)
[14:51] <Tjol> Candrea - Ok - will try - thanks! :)
[14:52] <mello_> TheShrubber, i'm now on gnome-shell actually. Is there nothing else I can do?
[14:52] <joe__> o yea no it dosnt show in that
[14:52] <TheShrubber> mello_: sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop
[14:52] <MonkeyDust> joe__  are you in a live session, or did you install ubuntu?
[14:52] <mnmiii> Hi, is there a way to enable headphones only in pulseaudio. Currently both headphone and speakers are enabled.
[14:53] <joe__> installed ubuntu from windows to a drive in my comp
[14:53] <MonkeyDust> joe__  wubi?
[14:53] <TheShrubber> mnmiii: try alsamixer, i think theres somehting there
[14:53] <mello_> TheShrubber I know you just want to help, but I would've installed xubuntu if i wanted xfce. I'm just asking if there isn't any way to get it heat up less
[14:53] <mnmiii> i already tried with alsamixer no success
[14:53] <anonymous_> hello  iam  new
[14:53] <anonymous_> here
[14:53] <N00b> anyone alive ?
[14:54] <anonymous_> me
[14:54] <Sidewinder1> Welcome!
[14:54] <Bigbird> an me
[14:54] <TheShrubber> mello_: Alright, change the settings to low graphics (or something)
[14:54] <N00b> can u help me install my first linux ? :D
[14:54] <anonymous_> my name is vas
[14:54] <mnmiii> if i disable the speakers my master sound gets muted and i have to unmute master, speaker and headphone
[14:54] <MonkeyDust> joe__  keep it in the channel
[14:54] <mnmiii> to get the sound back
[14:54] <joe__> all this scrolling its hard to keep up
[14:54] <joe__> lol
[14:54] <N00b> yea
[14:55] <N00b> anyone willing to go private to help me ? :D
[14:55] <Sidewinder1> !pm
[14:55] <N00b> ok
[14:55] <Sidewinder1> :-)
[14:55] <N00b> can anyone help me
[14:55] <N00b> install my first linux
[14:55] <N00b> tried suse but it just crashed
[14:55] <TheShrubber> N00b: What exactly is the problem
[14:55] <N00b> and cant boot from dvd anymore -.-
[14:55] <N00b> I downloaded suselinux
[14:56] <N00b> burned to dvd
[14:56] <FloodBot1> N00b: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[14:56] <joe__> wubi idk what that is
[14:56] <joe__> but im useing 12.04 LTS
[14:56] <ThinkT510> N00b: a vm is a great practice ground
[14:56] <MonkeyDust> N00b  just state your problem and don't hit enter too often
[14:56] <TheShrubber> N00b: Download Debian or Ubuntu
[14:56] <N00b> look
[14:56] <Sidewinder1> N00b, Just boot the LiveCD (after having md5sum ed the ISO) and click on "Install Ubuntu.
[14:56] <N00b> downloading ubuntu now. Is there anyway to install from usb drive ?
[14:56] <mnmiii> yes
[14:56] <DJones> !install | N00b
[14:56] <N00b> and will it be the problem cause machine is kinda old
[14:57] <joe__> what do u think my problem is monkeydust
[14:57] <mnmiii> check your bios if it supports usb boot
[14:57] <joe__> beside being a newb to linux lol
[14:57] <N00b> it does support. but i cant figure out why suse failed
[14:57] <DJones> N00b: As long as the computer is capeable of booting from USB, it should be fine, at worst it could be slow
[14:57] <Sercendil> Bonjour
[14:57] <N00b> ok
[14:57] <MonkeyDust> !fr
[14:57] <TheShrubber> N00b: Try burning at the lowest speed
[14:57] <Sidewinder1> N00b, Shouldn't be a problem (age) this 'puter is circa 2003 and runns fine. Don't forget the md5sum, prior to burning/installing.
[14:58] <N00b> will try usb method u sent
[14:58] <Sidewinder1> And slowest speed ^.
[14:58] <N00b> its 64%
[14:58] <N00b> waiting for dl
[14:58] <Sidewinder1> !md5sum | N00b
[14:58] <minimec> mnmiii: Open a 'alsamixer' in a terminal. Select your soundcard with F6 (if needed) and search for option 'Jack sense' or 'Auto-Mute'
[14:59] <joe__> =o
[14:59] <minimec> mnmiii: You can toggle 'Auto-Mute' -->enabled/disabled with the arrow up/down key
[15:00] <mkanyicy> is there a WhatsApp client for ubuntu or any linux based machine for that matter?

[15:01] <linuxuz3r> how do i make the dock show up when my cursor is at the left border of the screen
[15:02] <TheShrubber> linuxuz3r: What version of ubuntu are u using?
[15:02] <linuxuz3r> 12.04
[15:03] <bobby_> im doing a resize2fs, and pass2 keeps resetting? is it normal?
[15:03] <TheShrubber> linuxuz3r: Do you mean you want it to show only when your mouse is ther, because i dont know of any such funcionality
[15:04] <linuxuz3r> yes when the mose is at the border left of the screen
[15:04] <linuxuz3r> i can do it on my laptop
[15:05] <TheShrubber> linuxuz3r: Not to be rude, but have you considered googling on ubuntu help pages? or maybe oyuve already done that since youre here...
[15:05] <Joe2> there we goo
[15:05] <Joe2> irc on pidgeon
[15:06] <Joe2> so anyway i search for file manager with the  dash home thing and click file
[15:06] <Joe2> and i dont see any other drives
[15:07] <TheShrubber> Joe2: Excuse me, can you please explain your question in a better way?
[15:07] <mkanyicy> is there a WhatsApp client for ubuntu or any linux based machine for that matter?
[15:08] <Joe2> im trying to access my windows drives with ubuntu
[15:08] <Joe2> so i can get some files
[15:08] <MonkeyDust> !ntfs| Joe2
[15:08] <ThinkT510> !mount | Joe2
[15:08] <Sidewinder1> Joe2, I believe that Nautilus is installed by default.
[15:09] <Joe2> i tried searching for it
[15:09] <MonkeyDust> Joe2  just click the home icon or folder to open nautilus
[15:09] <subz3r0> Nautilus "is" the standard filebrowser
[15:09] <Joe2> oh ok
[15:10] <Joe2> yea i have that open just no windows drive i must have to mount it still
[15:10] <bobby_> im doing a resize2fs, and pass2 keeps resetting? is it normal?
[15:10] <MonkeyDust> Joe2  type !ntfs to repeat the windows factoid
[15:11] <Joe2> !ntfs
[15:11] <superbbbfab> hi, how can i use transmission with free vpn?
[15:12] <subz3r0> superbbbfab, ĵust add the port and localhost as proxy
[15:12] <kyle__> bobby_: Pastebin what you're seeing maybe?
[15:12] <subz3r0> like: ip: <IP_ADDRESS> port: 65535
[15:12] <subz3r0> socks5
[15:12] <kyle__> bobby_: I've resized2fs more times than I care to recall, but don't recall that being repeated.
[15:12] <Joe2> says unable to locate package gnome-mount
[15:13] <bobby_> kyle__: its a resize from 16tb to 14tb
[15:13] <bobby_> started 4 days ago
[15:13] <bobby_> kyle__: you know how the XXX add up?
[15:13] <kyle__> bobby_: That could take awhile, but that seems excessive.  You did a -p right?
[15:13] <kyle__> AHh yes, the XXXs, yup.
[15:13] <bobby_> well, i see them go to like 8, then reset to 0
[15:14] <bobby_> over a 20-25 hours laps time
[15:14] <MonkeyDust> Joe2  tip: first get familiar with the basics, then explore how to mount more exotic systems etc
[15:14] <Joe2> im use to useing OSX lol
[15:14] <Joe2> guess thats like being Breast fed instead of hunting in the wild
[15:14] <Joe2> lul
[15:15] <kyle__> bobby_: That could just be so you can see it move, since it's such a large device.  Otherwise you'd see an X, come back in three hours, not see another, and think it's stalled.
[15:15] <kyle__> bobby_: THere may be another method for determining what it's current status is.
[15:16] <bobby_> kyle__: id love to hear about it
[15:18] <kyle__> bobby_: COnsidering it's an online resize, has df changed?   Also, how full was it before resizing?
[15:20] <t00tie> hi. What do I use to get video captures of my desktop?
[15:20] <bobby_> kyle__: its not mounted, it had 2.4tb free space
[15:20] <kyle__> bobby_: I've got a 15TB raid6 on ext4, and it was grown drive by drive to preserve data, but it wasn't that full.  It still took >24 hours for most of the resize2fses I think.
[15:20] <kyle__> bobby_: Then it's doing a lot of shuffling around I'd bet.
[15:20] <bobby_> kyle__: growing resize is ok, shrink takes for ever
[15:21] <bobby_> kyle__: its all luks'ed
[15:21] <kyle__> luks'ed?
[15:21]  * kyle__ is confused.
[15:23] <candrea> t00tie: there are many alternatives; probably the most popular is this one: https://apps.ubuntu.com/cat/applications/gtk-recordmydesktop/
[15:23] <MonkeyDust> t00tie  kazam is neat
[15:23] <t00tie> cheers candrea
[15:23] <Joe2> is  it not mounting cause i have the drives as a raid?
[15:24] <Shadow`> instead of "iptables -A INPUT -s some.ip.adress -p tcp --dport 22 -j ACCEPT" i should be able to use "iptables -A INPUT -s sub.domain.ext -p tcp --dport 22 -j ACCEPT" right?
[15:24] <MonkeyDust> Joe2  it's becoming more and more complex, start from the beginning, what are you doing and what do you want to achieve
[15:24] <Joe2> even from windows i look at my ubuntu install and its in a folder mwhich folder would i drag files into for ubuntu to be able to see them
[15:24] <rsarson> morning! i hope i'm in the right channel for this... on a lot of what wiki pages there are links to "pages with prefix" - what does that mean?
[15:27] <candrea> Shadow`: yes, as long as "sub.domain.ext" resolves *exactly to* "some.ip.address"
[15:27] <Pici> rsarson: er, do you perhaps want #wikipedia, or #wikimedia?
[15:28] <rsarson> Pici: thanks... i'll try one.
[15:28] <MonkeyDust> Joe2  a wubi installation instide windows? or on its own partition?
[15:28] <Shadow`> candrea: ye it does, still not really working tho, ah well ill just put in the IP, its so dynamic it changes roughly every 18 months xD no biggie
[15:28] <Joe2> inside windows
[15:28] <Joe2> to a different harddrive
[15:28] <Tjol> candrea - you there?
[15:29] <shazbotmcnasty> anyone have any experience setting up a triplehead2go or dualhead2go on ubuntu? I am in need of some assistance.
[15:29] <candrea> Tjol: yep, how can I help you?
[15:30] <MonkeyDust> Joe2  ok, inside windows, that's wubi, not a real intallation -- install ubuntu on its own partition and most of your problems are solved
[15:30] <Joe2> ooh ok\
[15:30] <_Marcus> How do I give a user write access to a folder that another user owns?
[15:30] <Joe2> ill do that it does kind of seem like it made like a live dvd/usb install
[15:30] <hxtk> I have one drive that keeps mounting and openning up a file manager window without my asking it to
[15:30] <Joe2> like a virtual disk type deal
[15:31] <candrea> Shadow`: have you already tryied "host sub.domain.ext"? (just to be sure)
[15:31] <Tjol> Ok - that link you gave me - I actually got there by myself yesterday - but i could not get it to change the password - today I did evething the same...except..... my password I used was letters and numbers - ie passwrd123  - today I omitted the numbers - and guess what!
[15:31] <hxtk> the only way I can stop it is to quit my file manager.
[15:32] <Tjol> So the catch it seems is to use only alpha in your password - not alphanumeric
[15:32] <jrib> Tjol: what are you talking about?
[15:32] <candrea> Tjol: I guess you had caps lock off?
[15:33] <Tjol> :)@ candrea - trust me - I went through the caps lock onn/off scenario with fine comb
[15:33] <candrea> jrib: he's trying to reset his own password using single user mode
[15:33] <Tjol> so it looks one should not use numbers in th eorrt password
[15:33] <jrib> Tjol: you can use numbers...
[15:34] <subterfuge> If I wanted to remove every trace of NVIDIA on my Ubuntu 12.04 system so that I could go to "Additional Hardware" and truly do a clean install of the drivers.  Doing this because I have hit a brick wall with fixing an issue..
[15:34] <candrea> Tjol: well, to be honest, almost everyone uses numbers :)
[15:34] <candrea> Tjol: anyhow, is the problem solved now?
[15:36] <Tjol> problem solved - Candrea - I am happy that I did everything by the book - but every time I tried to change the password, it gave me an auth issue answer. The one time I omitted the numbers it work - maybe the keybord has an issue - i do not know
[15:37] <Tjol> anyway - thank you for your help and have a nice evening - I will go and have a glass of Shiraz now
[15:39] <Calahan> Some newbie question. When I run screen each time there is that startup window with some text can i somehow disable it by default?
[15:39] <g1> gabrieltixi
[15:39] <jrib> Calahan: yes, check screen's man page
[15:41] <MonkeyDust> Calahan  or use byobu on top of screen
[15:42] <jgornick> Hey guys, running 11.10. I just added a custom upstart job to /etc/init. Do I have to do anything for upstart to load the configuration file in so I can use it?
[15:42] <jrib> Calahan: more specifically,  "startup_message off" in your ~/.screenrc
[15:42] <candrea> Calahan: on Ubuntu you may enjoy using byobu
[15:42] <AdvoWork> I've got a program that I run to use, it doesn't install as such. I'm trying to do, right click, open with, and select that program, but as it's not installed I can't get it in the list. any ideas please?
[15:42] <kys_> hello
[15:42] <Calahan> jrib thanks! that saved me lot of reading :P
[15:42] <jrib> AdvoWork: there's usually a way to add it to the list
[15:42] <Joelito> how can I remove a launchpad keyring, added by the terminal like: apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 1378B444
[15:42] <Calahan> candrea ok i'll read about byobu
[15:43] <AdvoWork> jrib, thats what I thought
[15:43] <jrib> AdvoWork: seems to have been removed now... Add a custom .desktop file for it in your ~/.local/share/applications/
[15:44] <candrea> Joelito: apt-key del 1378B444
[15:44] <hydester> are there any instructions for doing a fresh instal of ubuntu with btrfs instead of lvm/ext?
[15:45] <Joelito> candrea, thanks :)
[15:46] <ero-jiji> have an issue with free space, my i have a 3.1tb partition mounted as /home. i copied 1.1tb to a single folder, and now its saying im using 100% of the 3,1tb
[15:46] <ThinkT510> !btrfs | hydester
[15:46] <trijntje> can someone tell me how I can get mpd to play something? I've been trying to figure it out for half an hour and it drives me up the wall. All tutorials end with 'and now play music', and I have no clue how to do that!
[15:46] <jrib> ero-jiji: try baobab (Disk Usage Analyzer in the menu) to determine what is using the space
[15:47] <magicalChicken> trijntje: you need a client, for simple needs try mpc
[15:47] <ero-jiji> i have, one sec ill screenshot it
[15:47] <jrib> trijntje: "mpc play" assuming you have a library set up
[15:47] <grdnwsl> ero-jiji: Are you out of inodes?
[15:47] <AdvoWork> jrib, i have it in launcher, I can open it from my unity menu already, or is that not what you mean?
[15:48] <jrib> AdvoWork: I think you can just copy that to ~/.local/share/applications/ (not sure)
[15:48] <grdnwsl> ero-jiji: you can use df -i to find inode usage for your drive
[15:48] <abyss42> Hi guys, I have a verisign cert and i just updated nginx.conf. Now i can access my site with https://ip address..but it says • Server's certificate does not match the URL. I changed server_name to the domain name..but i cannot go to my https://domain_name.com
[15:48] <jrib> AdvoWork: .desktop files there should show up in your open with menu
[15:48] <abyss42> any ideas?
[15:48] <trijntje> magicalChicken: thanks, installing mpc now
[15:48] <AdvoWork> jrib, yeah it does, i can search for it and open the program ok, but still not in that open with list
[15:49] <tizbac> abyss42, the certificate has also a domain name in it
[15:49] <tizbac> it must match the domain
[15:49] <jrib> AdvoWork: do you have a .desktop file for it in ~/.local/share/applications/?
[15:49] <ero-jiji> http://www.postimg.com/79000/photo-78872.jpg
[15:49] <magicalChicken> trijntje: that is really simple though, for a more powerful client once you have it tested try ncmpcpp or for a graphical client sonata
[15:49] <candrea> abyss42: when you use the ip, you get the error because the certificate is associated to the host name, not the ip
[15:49] <abyss42> tizbac, yes they said its the common name. but i put the same and its not working :(
[15:49] <candrea> abyss42: what do you mean with "i cannot go to my ..."?
[15:50] <ero-jiji> /dev/md3 223199232 13529 223185703 1% /home
[15:50] <ero-jiji> im rather new to ubunto, so i dunno if i set something up wrong or what ><
[15:50] <ero-jiji> *ubuntu
[15:51] <AdvoWork> jrib, i do now
[15:51] <jrib> AdvoWork: and it's still not in the menu?
[15:51] <jrib> s/menu/open with dialog/
[15:51] <ero-jiji> 223 million inodes free
[15:53] <abyss42> candrea.. when i go to https://my-domain-name.com i get "This webpage is not available"
[15:53] <ero-jiji> but yea, somewhere 2tb of space vanished
[15:54] <trijntje> magicalChicken: thanks, I'll try sonata if I can get it mpc to work
[15:54] <candrea> abyss42: does your-domain-name.com resolve to your ip address? is nginx listening on port 443?
[15:54] <magicalChicken> trijntje: welcome
[15:55] <bobby_> is there any way to mount 2 diff FS, with the same file structur and only add/remove/move files from 1 of the fs?
[15:55] <bobby_> mount the 2 fs in the same place
[15:55] <trijntje> jrib: mpc play says: "volume: 80%", but nothing seems to play. How can I find out what's wrong?
[15:55] <kyle__> bobby_: There was an overlayfs somewhere.  DUnno if it's still supported or now just in fuse.
[15:55] <abyss42> candrea, no i cannot  access your_domain_name.com :( yes nginx is listening to 443. But i can accessing https://ip on 443
[15:55] <jrib> trijntje: use ncmpcpp, it will be easier for you to see if mpc actually knows about your music yet
[15:56] <jrib> s/mpc/mpd
[15:56] <BluesKaj> away
[15:56] <candrea> abyss42: if you type "host your-domain.com" in a terminal, what's the output? is it your ip address or do you get an error?
[15:56] <philinux> ero-jiji: see this. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoverLostDiskSpace
[15:56] <dury> hi there all :-) keeping all right?
[15:57] <ero-jiji> thanks philinux, ill check it now
[15:58] <abyss42> candrea, in my local terminal or in the terminal where my site is hosted?
[15:58] <candrea> abyss42: from where you are running your web browser
[15:58] <jrib> ero-jiji: may I ask what this 1.1 TB file is?
[15:59] <Calahan> might be low resolution porn
[15:59] <ero-jiji> its a bunch of gameplay recordings
[15:59] <abyss42> candrea you mean ping it?
[15:59] <Calahan> bad gues sorry
[15:59] <ero-jiji> ~60 video's
[15:59] <Bigbird> GOOD NIGHT ,every body
[16:00] <trijntje> jrib: I'm installing it now
[16:00] <candrea> abyss42: "host" actually gives more information, however if you prefer "ping", fell free to use it
[16:00] <dury> missing xscreensaver in 12.04 I've followed all this http://www.howtogeek.com/114027/how-to-add-screensavers-to-ubuntu-12.04/ but still doesn't launch automatically as usual as in previous releases :-(
[16:00] <candrea> abyss42: whatever you use, remember to type the domain name, not the ip
[16:00] <abyss42> candrea Host not found :(
[16:01] <candrea> abyss42: here's the problem :)
[16:01] <ahoneybun> hello world
[16:01] <abyss42> candrea, how do i fix it?
[16:01] <philinux> ero-jiji: lol. Quite large things these recordings. ;)
[16:01] <ero-jiji> http://www.postimg.com/79000/photo-78878.jpg
[16:02] <ero-jiji> theres a better screenshot
[16:02] <ero-jiji> and yea, i havent compressed them yet
[16:02] <candrea> abyss42: so... I don't know what's the situation, so, first of all: are you hosting the server yourself?
[16:02] <ero-jiji> i was getting ready to start compressing when i got a free space warning
[16:02] <dury> is there anyone who install properly xscreensaver in 12.04
[16:03] <candrea> abyss42: can the server be accessed throught Internet or just in a local network? (probably Internet, but I prefer asking)
[16:04] <ero-jiji> ive cleaned the temp folder, and trash bin
[16:04] <ero-jiji> so the space isnt used there
[16:05] <ero-jiji> the ftproot is where the recordings are uploaded to, then i was going to encode them and put them on the webserver
[16:05] <dury> may I have suggestions about xscreensaver in 12.04
[16:05] <abyss42> candrea, the server can be accessed just fine with an ip address. I was using a self sign cert up until now and it was working great. Now i have a real verisign cert and i updated my nginx.conf.. they told me common name for the cert is my-domain.com and i updated server_name in nginx.conf with the same..it didnt work.
[16:05] <philinux> ero-jiji: work through that link. Something will turn up.
[16:05] <abyss42> abyss42, it can be accessed through the internet.
[16:05] <philinux> dury: what is the problem you are getting
[16:06] <trijntje_> jrib: ncmpcpp --now-playing doesn't show anything
[16:06] <valentin> does anyone have experience with courier? It can't get it to use PAM, when i log in i get nothing in /var/log/auth.log however SMTP using PAM works
[16:06] <jrib> ero-jiji: lsof | grep deleted   turn up anything?
[16:06] <ero-jiji> @philinux aye, working down the list now
[16:06] <candrea> abyss42: owning a certificate is not enough to have dns resolution
[16:06] <jrib> trijntje_: if you just run ncmpcpp you should get an ncurses gui
[16:06] <Calahan> Later guys, good luck!
[16:06] <dury> philinux: missing xscreensaver in 12.04 I've followed all this http://www.howtogeek.com/114027/how-to-add-screensavers-to-ubuntu-12.04/ but still doesn't launch automatically as usual as in previous releases :-(
[16:07] <candrea> abyss42: you should either purchase a domain or edit your /etc/hosts (however note that editing /etc/hosts will make your domain accessible just by you)
[16:07] <alexfpms> Hi guys, i experience fullscreen flash bug: http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/705/flashfullscreenbug.jpg/  Does anyone know how to solve this issue ?
[16:08] <philinux> dury: so basically you added it to startup apps but it's not starting on login
[16:08] <candrea> abyss42: there may be other solutions that best fit your needs, but I have to know what you want to achive
[16:09] <dury> philinux: I guess so :-(
[16:10] <alexfpms> For precision, i use latest Chrome under Ubuntu 12.04
[16:10] <dury> philinux: what I did wrong then, or what could it be the problem?
[16:10] <philinux> dury: try adding a delay. Edit the startup app for xcreensaver like this.  bash -c "sleep 10 && xscreensaver"
[16:11] <trijntje_> jrib: working, thanks a lot!
[16:11] <dury> philinux: in terminal
[16:12] <jrib> trijntje_: cool.  There are all sorts of mpd clients.  So if you want something outside the terminal, just try a few
[16:13] <roasted> Hello! Question - if I run an rsync script which simply rsync's data to my file server, is there any way to make it pop up a "Backup Complete" notification message when it runs?
[16:13] <dury> bash -c "sleep 10 && xscreensaver" in terminal
[16:13] <bobby_> anyway to check resize2fs progress?
[16:14] <philinux> dury: no in the command line in the startup applications
[16:14] <kion> How do I update to LibreOffice 3.6 ? without messing my ubuntu installation
[16:14] <candrea> roasted: rsync ...; alert
[16:15] <candrea> roasted: to give it a try, use this command: "echo; alert"
[16:16] <roasted> candrea: what would happen with that? Could I customize the message that pops up?
[16:17] <candrea> roasted: it shows a notification containing the command
[16:17] <candrea> roasted: if you are familiar with bash, you can read its code here: /etc/bash.bashrc (it's a bash alias)
[16:17] <MonkeyDust> roasted  use zenity to create popup windows
[16:19] <djzn> trism: hello, just dropping by. I have a curious thing to tell. I installed CentOS 6.3 on another machine and it had the same bug ubuntu has with the cursor. Same thing when you enable "Desktop Effects" a.k.a Compiz (obviously), however, after the first system update, the bug is completely gone... I will list the packages that got replaced later ok
[16:19] <MonkeyDust> roasted  like      zenity --info --title="backup" --text="all right! the backup has completed! now go outside and play!"
[16:21] <roasted> MonkeyDust: thanks for that - I was just googling for how it would be set up. I guess I would just tag that in another line on the command?
[16:21] <roasted> MonkeyDust: within the rsync script itself, that is
[16:22] <Sorc534> s
[16:22] <MonkeyDust> roasted  what candrea suggested     rsync blah; zenity blah      that's a semi-colon
[16:22] <Sorc534> qiut
[16:23] <abyss42> candrea, I think the DNS name servers are not updated yet. But when i go to https://ipaddress.  https:// is still in red color and not green. WHen i click on it, it says i got a valid certificate but it also says Server's certificate does not match the URL.. How can i fix this?
[16:23] <roasted> MonkeyDust: just tested it - very nice! that works perfectly
[16:24] <candrea> abyss42: if you use the IP address, it must give you an error. The certificate is for the domain, not for the IP
[16:25] <candrea> abyss42: if you want a certificate associated to the IP, you need to ask your authority

[16:42] <dijonyummy> i'm on 12.04, my /etc/resolvconf keeps getting wiped out. how to make it stick
[16:42] <petko10> Hey guys , I have a basic programming question . I've done it before , but have forgotten now - there was a script to get the library paths out of the package info with dpkg and pipe those to gcc so one would have all searchpaths and not have to add libraries manually
[16:43] <subz3r0> dijonyummy, http://www.stgraber.org/2012/02/24/dns-in-ubuntu-12-04/
[16:43] <MonkeyDust> petko10  better ask in #bash
[16:43] <petko10> ok thanks
[16:45] <milen8204> how can I put any folder in "Place" folder?
[16:45] <TJ-> petko10: On the dpkg side you'd use dpkg-query -L <package-name> | egrep '^/*/lib*/'
[16:45] <diverdude> What is $(libdir) ? If i do echo $(libdir) nothing is printed
[16:45] <milen8204> I am whit Ubuntu 11.10
[16:46] <hilo> hello
[16:46] <TJ-> diverdude: "$(<some-command))" executes 'some-command' in a sub-process
[16:46] <ssta> looks like a Makefile to me...
[16:46] <TJ-> diverdude: however, if you are referring to "$(libdir)" in a MAKE file then it refers to the 'libdir' variable
[16:47] <jilebedev> Hi - I'm sure this has been asked before so can someone recommend me a link for purchasing a laptop that'll work fine with Ubuntu? I care about a standard keyboard layout and two vga-out ports.
[16:47] <MonkeyDust> !hardware| jilebedev
[16:47] <jilebedev> MonkeyDust: <3
[16:48] <diverdude> TJ-: yeah i am....but how can i see the content of the libdir variable?
[16:49] <hilo> I am writing a shell script and discovered that Ubuntu uses "dash" and not "bash" like I had thought. I can't simply change the head of the script to #!/bin/bash because a number of things in the script break (namely, newline output from my echo commands). Can anyone help me? I need to either find a dash equivalent to the bash modulus command (%) which doesn't seem to work in dash; or I need to find a bash equivalent to the "\n" newline.
[16:49] <ssta> hilo: yes.  If you ue bashisms, then use #!/bin/bash
[16:49] <TJ-> diverdude: "make -d" will print debugging information. However, if you're using it as part of an autoconf project, you should find after ./configure you'll make a Makefile and config.* files that will reveal the actual setting being used
[16:50] <hilo> ssta: If I what?
[16:50] <bekks> hilo: aacording to "man echo", "\n" works in bash.
[16:50] <ssta> hilo: stuff that work in bash, but not in more limited POSIXy shells are called bashisms
[16:50] <diverdude> TJ-: it is actually as apart of autotools project. I am trying to figure out where this package will place its files when i do make install
[16:51] <hilo> bekks: if I use echo "blah blah \n blah" it prints that literally, no newline
[16:51] <diverdude> TJ-: because i know that once i issue the make install command there is no going back and billions of files could be scattered all over the place
[16:51] <TJ-> hilo: using escape characters in BASH echo you use the -e option (echo -e "some text with newline\n2")
[16:51] <ssta> hilo: \n is parsed by echo, not the shell.  use -e opton to exho
[16:52] <TJ-> diverdude: the libdir should be figured out by ./configure and it will be written to the files I mentioned,
[16:52] <ssta> well, I guess echo isd a bash builtin
[16:52] <hilo> Thanks all!
[16:53] <hilo> Is there anywhere I can find a comparison of dash to bash? I want to switch the script to bash, but it is rather lengthy, so it would be helpful to try and tackle as many differences as possible before running into the errors they might generate down the road when I need it to work.
[16:55] <ssta> hilo: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DashAsBinSh is a good place to start
[16:55] <bobweaver> Also I like http://mywiki.wooledge.org/Bashism
[16:57] <bond_> how to disable yes/no prompt while installing any package?
[16:57] <_Marcus> How do I set the group permissions of a folder (and it's contents)? Right now it's set to admin, but I want it set to www-data.
[16:57] <ssta> hilo: in general, everything that works in dash will work in bash...there are a few things in bash that don't work in dash though.
[16:57] <ssta> bond_: in apt-get you can give the -y switch
[16:57] <bobweaver> bond_,  sudo apt-get -y install  or sudo apt-get -n install
[16:58] <ssta> _Marcus: chown :<groupname> <filename>
[16:58] <_Marcus> ssta: Thanks
[16:58] <ssta> _Marcus: note the ":", it's significant
[16:58] <_Marcus> ssta: Why?
[16:59] <ssta> _Marcus: alternatively you can use chgrp (which I guess is more specific)
[16:59] <TJ-> _Marcus: "chown -R :www-data /path/to/dir" ... the -R recurses files and sub-directories
[16:59] <ssta> _Marcus: chown changes owner and/or group.  Before the colon is owner, after is group (so chown <owner>:<group> <file>)
[16:59] <_Marcus> ssta: Chown worked fine. Thanks :)
[17:00] <bond_> ssta, bobweaver: i tried echo 'passwor' | sudo -S apt-get -y install $1    its not working
[17:00] <bobweaver> sudo -s is to switch and you need to call that on iits own
[17:00] <bobweaver> sudo -s ; sleep 12 ;echo 'passwor' | apt-get -y install $1
[17:00] <MaynardW1ters> hello, I am running 11.04 on a ASUS eeepc netbook, I have a 32gig sdcard in the slot, I had it mounted.  and I was updating the kernel using the automatic software updates.  It is currently hanging and saying "error: cannot read from '/dev/sdc'"  this is where the sdcard is located.  I have tried umounting the sdcard then remounting it.  any other suggestions?  I suspect it is simply trying to write grub to this card too at the mom
[17:01] <ero-jiji> argh, well, tried everything in the list, checked lsof as well, just requested a hard reboot of the machine, and we will see if that does anything
[17:01] <Osmodivs>  Hello. Why can't I covert a file in WinFF?  I get this, but Ido not know how to fix it, like, I want to be able to change the resolution to my little phone of 320x240 or less, Where do I tweak it?
[17:01] <Osmodivs> http://pastebin.com/x10UEdiC
[17:01] <hrehf> can i install from windows to a seperate hd that i then transfer to another computer? The install shouldn't modify anything else than the single hd i pick.
[17:01] <Atlantic777> !gpt
[17:02] <MaynardW1ters> hrehf: you have to watch out for where grub is going
[17:02] <MaynardW1ters> and you might be concerned if the architectures of the two computers are different, otherwise you should be decent enouhg
[17:02] <hrehf> MaynardW1ters can i choose the location during installation so it sits on the seperate hd?
[17:02] <ssta> hrehf: probably safest to do with the alternate installer...but that's not as user-friendly
[17:03] <hrehf> MaynardW1ters what is architecture defined as? intel vs amd?
[17:03] <JoshuaP> What is the command to view all current PIDs running?
[17:03] <MaynardW1ters> more like powerpc, vs x86 vs arm
[17:03] <bond_> bobweaver: is it -S or -s?
[17:03] <bobweaver> ps aux JoshuaP
[17:03] <MaynardW1ters> JoshuaP: htop?
[17:04] <hrehf> MaynardW1ters ah, okay. so that's not a problem here.
[17:04] <MaynardW1ters> hrehf: k, just be very careful you know what you are doing with the grub install, I might suggest removing the hd you dont want touched during the install
[17:04] <bobweaver> bond_,  what is it that is happening ? I am sorry what I do not like the -s and do not use I guess I could look up -S but ...
[17:05] <hrehf> MaynardW1ters yeah, i'll be sure to be careful, and disconnecting the hds is actually a good idea
[17:05] <hrehf> although i could just use the other pc then
[17:05] <Atlantic777> I've got ubuntu 12.04 installed and then i installed ubuntu 10.04 alongside. The problem is that I can't setup the dual boot because of (U)EFI and something called "gpt" partition. GRUB 2 boots only 12.04. Any ideas?
[17:05] <kyle__> JoshuaP: ls /proc
[17:05] <hrehf> i just thought there might be an easy way to do it, because the hd is currently plugged in anyways
[17:06] <hrehf> thanks for the help!
[17:07] <MaynardW1ters> Atlantic777: I dont know of any reason why grub 2 will only boot the 12.04.  BUT i am not an expert at either grub or 12.04.  I suggest finding a tutorial on how to manual edit grubs options and manually adding your 11.04 install to grub
[17:08] <MaynardW1ters> hrehf: prob best idea to use the pc you will be using during the install,
[17:08] <bond_> bobweaver: command not working..
[17:08] <BluesKaj> MaynardW1ters did you run sudo update-grub after installing
[17:08] <skorket> I'm trying to get libgmp installed on my machine, but I'm still getting linker issues.  I've installed 'libgmp-dev' via apt-get and I see a 'libgmp.so.3' file linked to  a 'libgmp.so.3.5.2' file in /usr/lib, but no libgmp.(so|a).  I'm running 12.04, precise.  Any suggestions?
[17:08] <bobweaver> bond_,  again what are you trying to do ?
[17:09] <trism> skorket: make sure you have -lgmp at the end of the command line
[17:09] <trism> skorket: so: gcc test.c -lgmp
[17:09] <MaynardW1ters> BluesKaj: I havent run anything yet, because the update manager is still hanging on that error
[17:09] <JoshuaP> How do you execute .jar files from terminal?
[17:10] <TJ-> Atlantic777: See this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFIBooting
[17:10] <MaynardW1ters> im considering pulling the sdcard from the slot so it cant be recongized
[17:10] <bond_> i want to install a software remotely.. so install script run there by itself.. i want to disable Y/n prompt there
[17:10] <bobweaver> java -jar --h
[17:10] <bobweaver> err
[17:10] <skorket> trism, yes, I am an idiot.  sorry about that.  Putting the '-lgmp' at the end fixed it.  Weird, it was working in a version of gcc I used a long time ago...
[17:10] <bobweaver> java -jar -h
[17:11] <trism> skorket: not an idiot, the linker behavior changed in 11.10, this question comes up often
[17:11] <BluesKaj> sorry MaynardW1ters , wrong person ,
[17:11] <bobweaver> bond_,  can we see the script pastebin it please
[17:11] <BluesKaj> Atlantic777
[17:11] <BluesKaj> did you run sudo update-grub after installing
[17:12] <rsarson> starved to death in soko.  how about just one food ration, rng?
[17:13] <trism> skorket: http://wiki.debian.org/ToolChain/DSOLinking has an overview (the linked fedora wiki has examples too)
[17:14] <BluesKaj> I'll repeat this  .. Atlantic777, run sudo update-grub , your other install should show up
[17:14] <rsarson> oops... wrong room :p
[17:14] <Atlantic777> BluesKaj: tnx, I'll try it right now.

[17:29] <llaskin> hey.  I'm trying to add vncserver into my rc.local so that the TightVNC server starts on boot of the machine...but it doesn't.  Any suggestions/thoughts?
[17:30] <bobweaver> llaskin,  ssh in and start vnc right or keep the ports closed then open and pass that way meaning ssh in and portforward
[17:31] <llaskin> bobweaver: this is a EC2 instance, that is dynamically started by Jenkins that needs to have vnc server running on it
[17:31] <llaskin> so I have to start vncserver somehow without ssh'ing it
[17:31] <l_r> hello
[17:31] <llaskin> any other suggestions?
[17:31] <l_r> what is the the Super key in the Super + W combination?
[17:31] <l_r> i don't understand
[17:32] <l_r> i don t have any Super key
[17:32] <ero-jiji> ok.. well, i think i found my problem
[17:32] <bobweaver> llaskin,  what i am saying is start vnc but keep the ports closed then ssh n and open them and portforward open gnome-session-properties
[17:32] <ero-jiji> ran sudo find / -name '*' -size +100G and got... /home/desktop/.xsession-x2go-errors
[17:33] <ero-jiji> now wtf is that, and how do i get rid of it lol
[17:33] <llaskin> right, but how do I start vnc prior to SSH'ing in?
[17:33] <bobweaver> llaskin, run gnome-session-properties
[17:33] <llaskin> this is a totally automated startup/run/teardown, whihc *SHOULD* require no human intervention
[17:33] <ero-jiji> that didnt show up till after hard reboot
[17:34] <bobweaver> if gnome os session or is it flux or something ?
[17:34] <bobweaver> sorry llaskin ^

[17:41] <dD0T> xangua: Ah. Didn't know about #ubuntu+1, thanks. My connection isn't that fast so I wouldn't even download it. Also I want to test native. VM's always seem to bring out the worst in linux distros...

[17:43] <mbeierl> Peace-, Check the audio settings - each of the variant outputs and make sure there isn't one that got muted.  I often end up with a muted device in my laptop - which I don't have nearby to verify
[17:43] <FloodBot1> n00b: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[17:43] <lotuspsychje> a noob with 6 monitors? lol

[17:47] <bobweaver> thatis what the LP-PHY is low powered cards cloudgeek
[17:48] <n00b> where did my printer guy dissapeared ? :(
[17:48] <bobweaver> cloudgeek,  that is the firmware that you need after installed run           sudo modprobe b43    and let us know if you have wireless
[17:48] <cloudgeek> bobweaver: saying mw unable to locate b43
[17:48] <blakes> Is this a good channel for LTSP/NBD questions?
[17:48] <cloudgeek> okay
[17:48] <Guest55258> how does one configure guild wars for ubuntu?
[17:49] <bobweaver> cloudgeek,  lets see   lspci -nn | grep 14e4
[17:49] <jilebedev> How come 'sudo apt-get install foo' sometimes asks me if it's OK to install a package, and sometimes doesn't?
[17:49] <Beryllium> hey there - I want to add a loopback interface alias for <IP_ADDRESS> … can I do that by just adding an "address" line to the "lo" block in /etc/network/interfaces file, or do I need to add some sort of lo:0 block with "inet static" and an address line there? Or maybe loopback instead of static.
[17:49] <cloudgeek> bobweaver: 0c:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Broadcom Corporation BCM4312 802.11b/g LP-PHY [14e4:4315] (rev 01)
[17:49] <Beryllium> Basically I just need the equivalent of OS X's "ifconfig lo alias <IP_ADDRESS>" :)
[17:49] <n00b> so much people in here but no one responds :/
[17:50] <Beryllium> er, ifconfig lo0 alias <IP_ADDRESS>, that is
[17:50] <llaskin> bobweaver:  trying that now...might need actual path, not the linked path...
[17:50] <bobweaver> [14e4:4315]   LP-PHY    Impoant parts cloudgeek
[17:50] <islandmonkey> !patience | n00b
[17:50] <wN> n00b: everybody hates cups
[17:50] <chimay_1> jilebedev: it doesn't when there ain't any additional package i think
[17:50] <islandmonkey> wn: +1
[17:50] <n00b> already did
[17:50] <islandmonkey> wN: +1

[17:51] <cloudgeek> bobweaver: okay
[17:51] <bobweaver> see cloudgeek  it works with the b43 or the wl driver
[17:52] <bobweaver> I bet the wl is loaded cloudgeek    lets see lsmod | grep wl
[17:52] <bobweaver> llaskin, that is annoying sorry I am out of thoughts maybe some one else can shine in
[17:52] <cloudgeek> bobweaver: okay it is supported by my kernal that is shall i need to upgarde it
[17:52] <llaskin> its killin me:(
[17:52] <bobweaver> I bet the wl is loaded cloudgeek    lets see lsmod | grep wl
[17:52] <n00b> i cant figure out why LINUX driver isnt working :/
[17:53] <ghano> hi guys
[17:53] <Psi-Jack> n00b: Linux doesn't have drivers.
[17:53] <Bipul`> n00b,  Linux has  a driver like windows have?
[17:53] <ghano> anyone have access to ZATTOO?
[17:53] <n00b> on canon site there were linux drivers đ
[17:53] <n00b> o.O
[17:54] <Peace-> ncie
[17:54] <n00b> im a sysadmin and first time in 5 years im awesomly confused
[17:54] <Peace-> nice nice nice doens0t' work
[17:54] <ghano> From where can I download a zattoo player?
[17:54] <Pecker> drivers are called modules
[17:54] <Psi-Jack> Pecker: Not always.
[17:54] <Pecker> basically linux has drivers
[17:54] <bobweaver> !info zattoo
[17:54] <Pecker> theres just not called drivers
[17:54] <cloudgeek> bobweaver: not displaying anything when i done same cooamd what you given to me
[17:54] <Psi-Jack> PPD != "driver" nor "module" ;)
[17:54] <ghano> thx

[17:55] <Psi-Jack> n00b: Mind your language, please.
[17:55] <n00b> and im away from ubuntu
[17:55] <n00b> sorry
[17:55] <FrozenFire> Anyone know of a non-FUSE-based method for interfacing with Rackspace Cloud Files, to download files directly?
[17:55] <n00b> sadly i cant use ubuntu since adobe and rest big programmers are avoiding it /dont know why it seems nice /
[17:55] <Psi-Jack> FrozenFire: Rackspace support can help you with that.
[17:56] <cloudgeek> bobweaver: wi-fi is working on other laptop with same configartion but that guy have ubuntu desktop not server
[17:56] <bobweaver> ok that is a good thing cloudgeek  paste bin output of this please cloudgeek     apt-cache policy b43 && apt-cache policy broadcom-sta-common
[17:57] <FrozenFire> Psi-Jack, Unlikely. I have a fair understanding of the whole process, and have mucked around with cloudfuse. I'm just hoping someone knows of an application that's available for Linux that handles it.
[17:57] <Peace-> flash player is muted after i have installed jack , removing pulseaudio doens't work too, so because of it was working great before to install jack.....
[17:57] <ero-jiji> crap, ok next issue, got rid of the giant file... now df -h shows size 3.3tb used 2.9tb avail 296g mounted on /home . running sudo baobab says /home is 1.1tb what gives?
[17:57] <FrozenFire> Not sure if there's something in the main repos that I just can't find.
[17:57] <Psi-Jack> FrozenFire: You'd be surprised, but it's really their job more so.
[17:57] <Calahan> hi
[17:57] <n00b> does it mean anything if i donated money to ubuntu ?
[17:57] <n00b> i mean can i get their support ?
[17:57] <Psi-Jack> FrozenFire: Beings that the company I work for currently uses their services and all. :p

[18:04] <ero-jiji> 12.04 64 bit
[18:04] <n00b> sudo /etc/init.d/cupsys stop sudo /etc/init.d/cupsys start why when I type this
[18:04] <n00b> it says unknown comman ?
[18:04] <bobweaver> try services n00b
[18:04] <n00b> explain further pls
[18:04] <bobweaver> sudo services apache2 stop
[18:04] <bobweaver> sudo services apache2 start
[18:05] <Shadow`> why not just do restart?
[18:05] <bobweaver> +1 Shadow`
[18:05] <n00b> bobwear
[18:05] <n00b> u have 5 mins ?
[18:05] <n00b> to help me go trough something i found
[18:05] <histo> n00b: it's two commands on one line
[18:05] <n00b> i know
[18:05] <n00b> is there anyone willing to help me to do this http://ubuntubee.blogspot.com/2008/02/using-canon-lbp-810-lbp-1120-in-ubuntu.html
[18:05] <histo> n00b: you would nee dto sudo /etc/init.d/cupsys stop && sudo /etc/init.d/cupsys start
[18:06] <MonkeyDust> n00b  or ;
[18:06] <Shadow`> doesnt | work too?
[18:06] <histo> n00b: do you have cups installed?
[18:07] <n00b> command not found o.O
[18:07] <histo> n00b: try sudo /etc/init.d/cups stop
[18:07] <bobweaver> n00b,  is this a printer server ? or desktop?
[18:07] <histo> n00b: and sudo /etc/init.d/cups start
[18:07] <Psi-Jack> ero-jiji: So, there's 1.1TB of actual data /in/ your /, and another 1.1TB in /home, separately. Problem is?
[18:07] <n00b> sudo /etc/init.d/cupsys stop
[18:08] <n00b> says command not found
[18:08] <n00b> desktop
[18:08] <Psi-Jack> ero-jiji: Disk Usage Analyzer shows per-directory usage.
[18:08] <histo> n00b: because its cups not cupsys
[18:08] <Beryllium> So, is there any way in Ubuntu to assign an extra IP address to the loopback interface?
[18:08] <histo> n00b: if you would look at what I typed
[18:08] <n00b> on page it writes cupsys
[18:08] <Psi-Jack> Beryllium: Yes, in /etc/network/interfaces.
[18:08] <n00b> brb
[18:08] <ero-jiji> theres only 1 folder, with 1.1tb of data, yet it says the 3.3tb has 2.9 used
[18:08] <histo> n00b: sudo /etc/init.d/cups stop  <---------------------
[18:08] <Psi-Jack> ero-jiji: Filesystems do not have folders. Laundry rooms and laundromats have folders. Filesystems actually have directories.
[18:08] <histo> n00b: well the page is wrong. It's not official documentation anyways
[18:09] <n00b> epic thing is that its different look from mine
[18:09] <Psi-Jack> ero-jiji: 1.1TB + 1.1TB + 3.4GB + 1.1GB  +etc etc etc == 2.9TB used.
[18:09] <Beryllium> Psi-Jack: I am having a hard time finding an example of exactly what needs to be entered there to enable it (preferably without rendering the network subsystem unusable :) - hence my reluctance to experiment without a clear baseline to work from)
[18:09] <Shadow`> grammaring for no reason lol
[18:09] <Psi-Jack> Beryllium: What is it exactly you are trying to do?
[18:09] <ero-jiji> its a 3.3tb partiton, with 1 directory, of 1.1tb files
[18:09] <ero-jiji> not multiple 1.1tb directories
[18:10] <Psi-Jack> ero-jiji: If you're not going to pay attention, please do not ask for help.
[18:10] <Beryllium> I'm trying to say "This IP address points to a server that I can't route to, so I want to pretend to be that server in addition to being myself - but only locally"
[18:10] <Psi-Jack> ero-jiji: I see 2 1.1TB used directories. /  and /home
[18:10] <n00b> ok it says to sellect usr etc but i only have CANON LBP / LPT #1 / CAPT Printer / ENTER URL / Network printer
[18:10] <morsnowski> has anyone here experience with a hybrid tv card, preferably a pci model?
[18:10] <ero-jiji> thats the [problem
[18:11] <ero-jiji> theres nothing there
[18:11] <ero-jiji> there is a single directory in /home/desktop with 1.1tb of files, thats it
[18:11] <bobweaver> morsnowski, I know a little about tv tuners
[18:11] <Psi-Jack> ero-jiji: Obviously there is, else DUA wouldn't be reporting it.
[18:12] <Psi-Jack> ero-jiji: And there's possibly directories you don't have permission to analyze as per permissions of unprivileged users, hence why you're only seeing 1.1 TB as such.
[18:12] <morsnowski> bobweaver, i would like to find some HW that can be installed under ubuntu without spending multiple hours chasing drivers
[18:12] <Psi-Jack> Beryllium: So a public VIP?
[18:13] <ero-jiji> how thats why i took the screenshot, it shows my /home folder, with nothing but /desktop and /lost+found which is empty
[18:13] <bobweaver> morsnowski,  I just bought a hauppeuge 2250 and the remote dont work but the card works great
[18:13] <Psi-Jack> ero-jiji: Again, stop using the incorrect usage of "folder"
[18:13] <Beryllium> Psi-Jack: I'll do a pastebin, just a sec
[18:13] <ero-jiji> sorry, just frustrated
[18:13] <jerry_l> what is the spelling for ubut dev?
[18:14] <Psi-Jack> ero-jiji: As I said earliere, there's possibly directories you don't have permission to analyze as per permissions of unprivileged users, hence why you're only seeing 1.1 TB as such.
[18:14] <bobweaver> morsnowski,  for my Ubuntu tv http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kfrm117Ukr0&feature=g-upl
[18:14] <morsnowski> bobweaver, sounds acceptable :) thanks
[18:14] <ero-jiji> <- root
[18:14] <Psi-Jack> ero-jiji: You're running X as root?
[18:14] <bobweaver> morsnowski,  I had to get the driver but it was easy
[18:14] <ero-jiji> ran sudo baobab as well
[18:14] <ero-jiji> not through the x, used putty
[18:14] <n00b> now it says unable to locate printer
[18:15] <ero-jiji> used the x just to take the screenshot
[18:15] <bobweaver> morsnowski,  this is the one that I bought http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16815116036
[18:15] <morsnowski> bobweaver, you got it from the maufactorer?
[18:15] <Beryllium> Psi-Jack: Consulting with someone at work first, if we still can't solve it I'll bring it up with a pastebin :)
[18:15] <morsnowski> thanks again
[18:15] <Peace-> xangua: btw i have solved
[18:15] <Peace-> xangua: i have kept pulseadio and jack

[18:17] <ero-jiji> i dont have physical access to the machine, its a contenent away from me. it was set up with a ftp with a single directory, for people to upload their recorded game footage. then suddenly i get a no disk space error, and thats where im at now
[18:17] <data34876> how to install kernel header and build files ?
[18:17] <skrocco> Hello All
[18:17] <n00b> LBP1120 cant find in CUPS spooler entry!!!
[18:18] <n00b> WHY ?!
[18:18] <ero-jiji> the single directory is the only one that has ever had anything written to it
[18:18] <ero-jiji> so i cant see how i could suddenly loose 2tb of space
[18:18] <Shadow`> ero-jiji, are those lotsa s mall files?
[18:19] <ero-jiji> no, they are about 60 video files, low compression
[18:19] <Shadow`> ext has no fragmenting, so lotsa wasted space easily with lotsa small files
[18:19] <bobweaver> data34876,   try     sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$[uname -r]
[18:19] <kyle__> Shadow`: Err, ext can fragment, it's just more resilliant, and less likely to fragment.
[18:20] <ero-jiji> its ext3
[18:20] <kyle__> Shadow`: And the "wasted space" is about block size.  It's something that can be tuned at filesystem creation time.
[18:20] <data34876> hey bobweaver already tried .it say linux-headers are at newest version
[18:20] <Shadow`> i havent paid attention to it recent years tho as space never been an issue, but i did notice i was always using more space in total then the folder would say it was using
[18:20] <ero-jiji> so yea, basicly what im saying, is i "should" only have 1 directory, with 1.1tb used. however, i have 2.9 tb used
[18:21] <kyle__> Shadow`: It does.  But unless you're really really squeezed for space/performance, it's not worth sweatting over :)
[18:21] <bobweaver> data34876,   I am not a kernel dev what do you mean by build files ?   like build-dep ?
[18:21] <Shadow`> yeah i havent been for many years :P
[18:21] <n00b> uf u guys ahve balls of steel
[18:21] <n00b> since u use this
[18:21] <subz3r0> !language | n00b
[18:22] <kyle__> Balls of steel?  Who knows.  Brain not made of rock?  That's all it takes.
[18:22] <kyle__> Sorry subz3r0.
[18:23] <ero-jiji> the weird part is, as i said, and the screenshot show /home should be 3.3tb it says its 1.1tb, and 100% full in baobab
[18:24] <Shadow`> , and professional.
[18:24] <Shadow`> cool, u can get paid to sit here?
[18:24]  * Shadow` wants to sign up
[18:24] <kyle__> ero-jiji: Are you using LVM?  Are you sure you just don't have 3.3TB in the PV, but not allocated to the LV?
[18:24] <ero-jiji> no lvm, one sec ill take a shot of the sys moniter
[18:25] <n00b> Cant find in CUPS spoller entry
[18:25] <n00b> any solution for this ?
[18:25] <kyle__> K
[18:26] <kyle__> n00b: If you did a standard ubuntu install, cups is all setup.  What did you do differently?  LiveCD?  "Expert" mode and choose your own packages?

[18:26] <n00b> kyle i did download ubuntu 10.04
[18:27] <ero-jiji> its 12.04 64 bit
[18:27] <n00b> everything is fine but cant get printer to work and it troubles me since its must need
[18:27] <Shadow`> n00b can always try to include testing repositories or something and do an dist-upgrade?   You're seeing the effects of reserved blocks.
[18:27] <n00b> Language ? o.O
[18:27] <bobweaver> hook it up and let us see    lsusb          PASTEBIN that

[18:28] <n00b> Printer is USB Canon LBP 810
[18:28] <bobweaver> that is great n00b
[18:28] <ActionParsnip> n00b: did you go to the Canon europe site and check for drivers?
[18:29] <Jordan_U> n00b: Why did you install Ubuntu 10.04 rather than Ubuntu 12.04?
[18:29] <n00b> sec
[18:29] <n00b> jordan thanks it is 12.04
[18:29] <n00b> mistake when writing
[18:29] <n00b> i cant paste bin since im on mac now i can write
[18:29] <n00b> what it writes
[18:30] <ActionParsnip> n00b: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CanonCaptDrv190
[18:30] <Jordan_U> n00b: Why can't you use pastebin from the Ubuntu machine and just copy the URL?
[18:30] <ActionParsnip> n00b: mentions LPB810
[18:30] <n00b> yes
[18:30] <ero-jiji> @kyle same thing, df-h shows 3.3tb with 2.9 tb used, when theres only 1.1tb of files in the directory
[18:30] <n00b> last one on list
[18:31] <kyle__> ero-jiji: How are you determining there is only 1.1tb of files?
[18:31] <kyle__> s/there is /there are/g
[18:31] <bobweaver> n00b,  what I do to check printer 1) if usb run lsusb    is it there ? 2) make sure that cupps and printer mods or 3rd party drivers are installed 3) if that is not working run dmesg to see what the kernel sees run lsmod to make sure that mod(drivers) are loaded
[18:32] <ero-jiji> folder properties shows 1.1tb, and verified the count in baobab
[18:32] <ero-jiji> baobab ran sudo

[18:37] <ero-jiji> one sec ill paste both
[18:37] <kyle__> OOoh fail, I missed a close paren
[18:37] <Beryllium> Psi-Jack: the subject containing the IP is unreachable by the machine I'm trying to access it from, so I want to "pretend" it's accessible. I only need it for one small thing, so it's essentially just a mock server

 ge.

[18:41] <Jordan_U> ero-jiji: It needs to be my full nick.
[18:41] <Psi-Jack> BluesKaj: Eh, you don't "enable" graphics cards in BIOS.
[18:42] <calum> Hi folks. My keyboard shortcuts stopped working as soon as i booted ubuntu. Anyone experience a similar problem?
[18:42] <BluesKaj> anyway bbl

[18:42] <younder> BluesKaj: My graphics card suddenly failed after severeal years use
[18:43] <n00b> is tehre anything like win+d in ubuntu ?
[18:43] <kyle__> ero-jiji: Is there a chance a huge file you removed has an open file handle?  Or that you mounted something over a used directory?  Both of those things can hide used space.
[18:43] <Jordan_U> kyle__: hilo: Division certainly works, just not floating point. "echo $((4/2))"
[18:43] <kyle__> Jordan_U: In bash?
[18:43] <Jordan_U> kyle__: Yes.
[18:43] <younder> BluesKaj: I had to pull it out and revert to on board graphics
[18:44] <kyle__> Jordan_U: You know, I'm thinking floating point in bash. (which work in korn shell, but who the hell wants to use korn?)
[18:44] <younder> BluesKaj: That is what I have now
[18:44] <Jordan_U> ero-jiji: That does indeed seem odd. Have you tried rebooting to completely rule out deleted but still open files?
[18:44] <younder> I am running a

[18:44] <ero-jiji> kyle__ i already checked for an open handle, (thats what lsof +L1 does if i remember correctly)
[18:44] <younder> linux install disk which understands my resolution just fine
[18:44] <xangua> n00b: keep the super/windows key pressed and you can see keyboard shorcuts
[18:44] <kyle__> ero-jiji: Yup, lsof checks for those.
[18:45] <bobweaver> shopt -s extglob[[ $foo = *[0-9]* && $foo = ?([+-])*([0-9])?(.*([0-9])) ]] &&  echo "foo is a floating-point number"
[18:45] <Jordan_U> kyle__: I'm pretty sure that ksh doesn't support floating point either.
[18:45] <ero-jiji> kyle__ i did delete a 3.4gb video about a week ago, other than that, its only been the files uploaded via ftp, i havent even logged into the server after i set up the ftp
[18:45] <kyle__> ero-jiji: Unless you set your block size insanely large, I just don't see how it can be anything other than a missed . directory, an open file handle, or something hidden by a misplaced mount.
[18:46] <kyle__> Jordan_U: It does. I ended up with nothing to read but a paperback korn-shell manual on a flight years ago.

[18:57] <tamaros> eor-jiji `lsof > file.txt`
[18:57] <kyle__> younder: Good.  Your data is ok, be happy.  Also, if you can setup a syslog server, you often see lots of X related errors way before the graphics cards die.
[18:57] <Calahan> younder i'm sorry what was your problem again?
[18:58] <kyle__> ero-jiji: lsof >& filename
[18:58] <bobweaver> har=$(lsof) ;echo har > file.txt
[18:58] <younder> kyle__,  I have seen a few of those
[18:59] <kyle__> younder: Sadly when I saw those crop up over the past year, I found that ALL the workstations on my network with dying cards are out of warantee.
