[15:45] <Flannel> stalker_: It's offtopic for here, and you don't need to repeat yourself anyway.
[15:46] <sacarlson> LoboX: ok reboot then?
[15:46] <LoboX> i did
[15:46] <LoboX> it grabs the ip then it lets go the ip
[15:46] <sacarlson> LoboX: and it won't come up with that address?
[15:46] <LoboX> it does
[15:46] <CSOGuy> Is there a way to force it to go vga instead of dvi?
[15:46] <LoboX> but then it goes blank
[15:47] <sacarlson> LoboX: sounds like network manager is out of control to me,  try shut it down to verify
[15:47] <LoboX> ok
[15:47] <escott> CSOGuy, or get a proper KVM
[15:47] <TheM4ch1n3> mmm, looks like its more difficult to find a download for it directly ...
[15:47] <sacarlson> LoboX: sudo service network-manager stop
[15:48] <Harris> ubuntu 12.04 face recognition login
[15:48] <LoboX> http://paste.ubuntu.com/1016525/
[15:49] <CSOGuy> unfortunately the kvm is also connected to several older systems that don't even have DVI
[15:49] <delchi> Hello all ,
[15:49] <emmy> sipior: thanks. Do you have so large a repository? it seem to pop outta ur head almost immediately. u're a gen.
[15:49] <Harris> ubuntu 12.04 face recognition login
[15:49] <delchi> Is there a queue for questions or can I just toss mine out ther e?
[15:49] <sipior> emmy: google does most of the heavy lifting.
[15:49] <knoppix> hello
[15:49] <llutz> delchi: just ask and wait
[15:49] <fidel> !ask | delchi
[15:50] <yandex839> Hi there
[15:50] <Harris> ubuntu 12.04 face recognition login
[15:50] <delchi> Fair enough
[15:50] <Jonii> Hello. What is devname?
[15:50] <yandex839> delchi: You are currently number 1201 in a queue of 1233
[15:50] <Jonii> I need to find out what is devname of my clickpad
[15:50] <delchi> libhid0 has been obseleted , but I need it for a custom program I've recently found , is there a way to force the library to install ?
[15:50] <Jonii> That is, touchpad you can click by pressing it
[15:50] <Harris> what is a good ubuntu 12.04 face recognition login
[15:51] <sacarlson> LoboX: seems in Ubuntu 12.04 now you have to unistall dhclient http://www.unixmen.com/how-to-convert-my-ip-from-dynamic-to-static-in-ubuntu/
[15:51] <MonkeyDust> Harris  have you heard or read somewhere that it even exists?
[15:51] <llutz> Harris: that software you present a printed photo  of your admin to login?
[15:51] <LoboX> ohhh
[15:52] <Harris> MonkeyDust,  it does for ubuntu 10.10
[15:52] <sacarlson> LoboX: I still run 10.04 and that's all we needed to do is edit /etc/network/interfaces
[15:52] <yandex839> delchi: You could try compiling it yourself if it's not in the repositories anymore. Providing it doesn't use an obsolete interface to the kernel or something...
[15:52] <LoboX> ohhh ok
[15:52] <delchi> Fair enough, and I shoudl be able to find the src by googling around, right ? :)
[15:52] <reisio> delchi: for what?
[15:52] <delchi> Reisio : libhid0
[15:52] <Harris> here www.youtube.com/watch?v=7TSZhfA2EfA
[15:52] <LoboX> wow 10.04
[15:52] <yandex839> delchi: http://libhid.alioth.debian.org/
[15:53] <LoboX> i have seen that in the new version a lot of things are change in ubuntu related to dhcp server
[15:53] <sacarlson> LoboX: ya I just install all the backports I need until software I need won't run on it
[15:53] <reisio> Harris: finally I can log into your box using a photograph of you
[15:53] <LoboX> theres no dhcp3-server is isc-dhcp-server
[15:53] <delchi> Ok, I see libhid - what if the program I have is based on libhid0 ... it may not work still , right ?
[15:53] <sacarlson> LoboX: ya they both work
[15:53] <Harris> how do i get  it
[15:54] <LoboX> when i search for dhcp3-server is not found on my box
[15:54] <MonkeyDust> Harris  there's this old link, maybe it's useful http://compixels.com/2071/add-facial-recognition-password-to-ubuntu-linux-distro
[15:54] <LoboX> i cant restart dhcp3-server is isc-dhcp-server
[15:54] <reisio> Harris: he doesn't say
[15:54] <sacarlson> LoboX: just install or start the isc-dhcp-server
[15:54] <Harris> no
[15:54] <reisio> Harris: if you wanted a decent implementation (that would still be a security problem), you'd use opentld
[15:55] <csioktel> is it isc-dhcp-client support ipv6?
[15:55] <sacarlson> csioktel: I'm not sure,  when I setup a test of a fully ipv6 network I didn't use it
[15:56] <Harris> reisio, i want to login with my webcam
[15:57] <sacarlson> Harris: with face recognition?
[15:57] <csioktel> sacarlson: so what are you used for dhcp/ipv6?
[15:57] <Harris> yes
[15:57] <Harris> yes
[15:57] <reisio> Harris: is your hard drive encrypted?
[15:58] <OerHeks> harris there used to be a nice package, but it is out of date for Precise Pangolin 12.04 >> http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2010/09/login-to-ubuntu-using-your-face \
[15:58] <ceti331__> can anyone recomend a text editor (windows-esque,not vi)  bordering on a minalist IDE… not requring project files (it is being used across a network to edit code for another platform) but offering assists for navigating c/c++ code, e.g. use of C-Tags jump to definition, or able to guess itself
[15:58] <reisio> ceti331__: geany
[15:58] <csioktel> anyone know which dhcp-client program support ipv6?
[15:58] <reisio> ceti331__: can pass as either a light IDE or just a text editor
[15:58] <OerHeks> harris contact the maintainer of that ppa, maybe she/he will help
[15:58] <sacarlson> csioktel: I used radvd and something else
[15:59] <Harris> OerHeks,  how do i get it for ubuntu 12.04
[15:59] <ceti331__> ok i've heard that recomendationelsewhere i guess i should try it
[15:59] <ceti331__> sounds like what i am after.
[15:59] <OerHeks> Harris READ it is out of date, so not.
[15:59] <reisio> I think so
[15:59] <delchi> blargh
[15:59] <delchi> so many error messages :)
[15:59] <csioktel> sacarlson: ok, thank you, i'll try it
[15:59] <sacarlson> csioktel: part of the config had to do with handling ipv4 addresses over ipv6
[15:59] <Harris> how do i get it for ubuntu 12.04
[15:59] <`prixon> hello
[16:00] <csioktel> sacarlson: ipv4 over ipv6?  do you mean ipv6 over ipv4?
[16:00] <sacarlson> csioktel: but I couldn't get windows system to work on an ipv6 only system, they wanted a dual stack ipv4 and ipv6
[16:01] <`prixon> how can I check if i915 is and ASPM is enabled?
[16:01] <sacarlson> csioktel: no it was an only ipv6 system so it still needed to translate ipv4 addresses to ipv6
[16:01] <csioktel> sacarlson: yes, i want support native ipv6, not tunnel
[16:01] <Harris> can you run ubuntu 10.10 software on ubuntu 12.04
[16:02] <Qasaur> Hey guys
[16:02] <csioktel> sacarlson: ok, it's fine, i have both.
[16:02] <sacarlson> Harris: I guess if you run it in a virtual box, but most would be ported to 12.04
[16:02] <Qasaur> I have a question, I'm learning programming and I was thinking of doing really simple bugfixes to Ubuntu. You know, help out the community
[16:02] <Qasaur> is this something feasible
[16:02] <Qasaur> or should I wait till I'm more experienced
[16:03] <delchi> ok
[16:03] <delchi> looks like this one is a lost cause.
[16:03] <delchi> Thanks for the assist though.
[16:03] <csioktel> Qasaur: just do it, if you want
[16:03] <Qasaur> Is it possible that I might fuck up and make things even more difficult?
[16:04] <Qasaur> I don't want to hinder anyones efforts here.
[16:04] <yandex839> Qasaur: That's feasible. There was a "papercut" project to identify simple issues to fix, you might want to look at those.
[16:04] <Qasaur> Huh? What do you mean
[16:04] <sacarlson> Qasaur: there are thousands of bugs to fix, if you can fix any of them go for it
[16:04] <yandex839> Qasaur: You wouldn't be able to screw things up - Ubuntu has version control, so anything can be reverted. Also, you won't have permission to commit your changes, someone else would look at your bug fix and assess it
[16:04] <Qasaur> Ah I see
[16:04] <Qasaur> so basically I fix the bug and someone else merges the fix to the main trunk?
[16:05] <Qasaur> so someone else verifies my changes
[16:05] <yandex839> Yes
[16:05] <delchi> What Iv'e got is an old program for CLI based control of mini LED signs. It relies on libhid0 , I'm thinking I'll write the author and see if he can adjust it.
[16:05] <escott> ceti331__, at some point you are going to be directed back to emacs, but you might also try gedit or scite (which is more python specific)
[16:06] <sacarlson> Qasaur: you can publish your changes on ppa or github.com if people like it they will adapt to it
[16:06] <euddee26> freenode sucks
[16:06] <Qasaur> wait, doesn't ubuntu use launchpad and not githu?
[16:06] <Qasaur> github*
[16:07] <OerHeks> Qasaur, yes launchpad. github is for private projects.
[16:07] <sacarlson>  Qasaur: yes ppa would be the way to go but on github you can have groups of people working on it
[16:07] <delchi> Thanks again for the help, and moreso thanks for help w/out the " noob beating ". I appreciate it.
[16:07] <Qasaur> I see
[16:07] <LoboX> sacarlson im checking a couple of things ill keep u updated in case i fix this but stoppinmg the network manager, didn't release my static ip i start it again
[16:07] <NickASloan> where should I put a script that must be run on startup?
[16:07] <Qasaur> Is this something a beginner should do to learn? Fixing bugs?
[16:08] <sacarlson> LoboX: no I see that the dhclient is your problem you can also stop that
[16:08] <reisio> NickASloan: why must it be
[16:08] <LoboX> ok
[16:08] <truepurple> Is there a way to cancel a install happening in the software center?
[16:08] <OerHeks> Qasaur, i do not expect beginners to fix bugs, i hope beginners are capable of filing a bugreport.
[16:09] <reisio> truepurple: could be problematic depending on what you're installing and at what point it's at
[16:09] <yandex839> truepurple: Only if it hasn't started the install itself (if it's still downloading the files). Otherwise, you can just uninstall afterwards.
[16:09] <Qasaur> OerHeks: I mean a programming beginner, not an ubuntu beginner
[16:09] <truepurple> yandex839 , if its still downloading the files, how can I stop it?
[16:09] <yandex839> Qasaur: Be advised that bug reports or even bug fixes aren't always looked at in a timely fashion by the Ubuntu developers. Bug fixes can sit unexamined for months on ocassion...
[16:10] <Harris> i need help with  making a fake password for an account in ubuntu
[16:10] <yandex839> yandex839: There's usually a cancel button. If CLI, control + C
[16:10] <yandex839> truepurple: There's usually a cancel button. If CLI, control + C
[16:10] <OerHeks> Qasaur, if you can, go for it ! remember, you are not alone to verify & test bugfixes
[16:11] <truepurple> yandex839, What is CLI?
[16:11] <yandex839> truepurple: command line interface
[16:11] <yandex839> truepurple: If you're doing it from the terminal
[16:11] <Dardan> hi all
[16:11] <truepurple> yandex839, AS I asked from the beginning, how do I cancel such from the software center, non way to do so?
[16:11] <ikonia> truepurple: don't cancel in the middle of an install
[16:11] <Harris> i need help with  making a fake password for an account in ubuntu
[16:11] <Dardan> im currenlty porting a C++ engine from windows to linux
[16:11] <ikonia> Harris: gake password ?
[16:11] <Dardan> I have some questions
[16:11] <Dardan> anyone?
[16:12] <Harris> ikonia,  fake
[16:12] <ikonia> Dardan: the guys in ##c++ would probably be best
[16:12] <sacarlson> Harris: fake password?
[16:12] <yandex839> truepurple: Run the command "xkill" in command line, then click the software center
[16:12] <ikonia> Harris: what do you mean a fake password
[16:12] <Dardan> ok
[16:12] <reisio> Dardan: #friendly-coders
[16:12] <Dardan> #C++
[16:12] <ikonia> truepurple: careful, don't kill software center while it's installing something
[16:12] <reisio> Dardan: or #programming
[16:12] <ikonia> Dardan: ##c++
[16:12] <Dardan> how to connect to these?
[16:12] <Harris> in the book little brother
[16:12] <ikonia> Dardan: /join ##c++
[16:12] <Dardan> im new to irc freenode ;p
[16:12] <Dardan> thank
[16:12] <ikonia> Harris: sorry don't know what you are asking
[16:12] <truepurple> yandex839, you mean click the tab of software center?
[16:13] <Harris> the boy makes a fake partion for his phone and when you type in the fake password only certain files come up
[16:13] <sacarlson> harris: just spell it the way it sound  "f a k e"
[16:13] <yandex839> truepurple: With xkill you click the window itself you want to immediately kill. But like ikonia said, if it's started installing it may screw things up
[16:13] <Harris> how do i do that is ubuntu 12.04
[16:13] <ikonia> Harris: ok - that's nothing to do with ubuntu
[16:13] <truepurple> yandex839, ok thanks
[16:14] <Harris> i want to do it in ubuntu
[16:14] <ikonia> truepurple: is there a reason you want to cancel it (has it given an error or anything)
[16:15] <LoboX> sacarlson how do i stop the dhclient
[16:15] <LoboX> i tried sudo service dhclint stop
[16:15] <LoboX> dhclient*
[16:15] <truepurple> Another issue, I need flash version 11.2 or latter to run a game, but firefox has only 11.1, and says it is up to date, chrome has a even earlier version of flash installed in it. also chrome is a bit behind in version numbers itself. Now alot of this takes me to a adobe download page, but there are 3 different download options and I got no clue how to install any of em after downloading
[16:16] <ikonia> truepurple: there is normally a "readme" in the tar file
[16:16] <LoboX> sacarlson ok we have progress the eth0 interface have the static ip from the interfaces file >:)
[16:16] <ikonia> truepurple: you basically move the library into the plugins directory in your firefox directory in your home dir and restart firefox
[16:16] <LoboX> that happen when i stoped the network-manager like you said
[16:16] <ikonia> truepurple: but the README or INSTALL file in the tar will give you exact locations/instructions
[16:16] <jobinar> I have been using Ubuntu 11.10 for quite a while now. I could access internet via wired network of my college(which uses a proxy) a couple of days before.
[16:17] <truepurple> ikonia, ok, and which download do I use, I got ubuntu 11.4
[16:17] <ikonia> truepurple: what are you options ?
[16:17] <jobinar> Suddenly, I cannot access net via wired connection. I can access the wireless connection, though.
[16:17] <jobinar> I have a triple boot system, running Ubuntu 11.10, Debian 6.0.5 and Windows 7.
[16:17] <ikonia> truepurple: (be aware as well, as flash may still not work with your game after installing it)
[16:17] <jobinar> I can access internet via wireless though all three of them, but not through wired connection on Ubuntu and Debian.
[16:17] <yandex839> jobinar: Have you done system updates recently? it's possible your kernel was updated and there was a regression?
[16:17] <jobinar>  Here's the link to the information I get when I do an ifconfig:  http://paste.ubuntu.com/1016557/
[16:18] <jobinar> Please help!
[16:18] <truepurple> ikonia, http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/?no_redirect please see for yourself
[16:18] <llutz> Harris: read http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deniable_encryption   and try to setup the software you need for it
[16:18] <LoboX> jobinar i dont see any ips in the eth0 interface
[16:18] <ikonia> truepurple: that page detects your OS and offers you options based on your host
[16:18] <ikonia> truepurple: I'm running a different system from you, so I'll see different options
[16:19] <truepurple> Ok one moment
[16:19] <ikonia> truepurple: hence why I'm asking what your options (what you see is)
[16:19] <jobinar> LoboX: I have added all the info i get on the paste
[16:19] <jobinar> is something missing?
[16:19] <LoboX> jobinar have you tried adding the ip manually?
[16:19] <jobinar> what do i do to get ips, LoboX ?
[16:20] <LoboX> ok who is providing the dhcp, your wifi router right?
[16:20] <truepurple> ikonia, YUM for linux (YUM)
[16:20] <truepurple> .tar.gz for other Linux
[16:20] <truepurple> .rpm for other Linux
[16:20] <Qasaur> Alright
[16:20] <jobinar> yes, LoboX
[16:20] <LoboX> you have a cat5 cable connected to your box right no in the ethernet port
[16:20] <Qasaur> I was scanning new bugs on Launchpad
[16:21] <Qasaur> and I saw this
[16:21] <Qasaur> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/1006984
[16:21] <jobinar> what is cat5?
[16:21] <Qasaur> how does one deal with something like this?
[16:21] <ikonia> truepurple: ok, the only one you can really use is the tar
[16:21] <LoboX> ethrnet cable
[16:21] <LoboX> ethrnet*
[16:21] <LoboX> ethernet*
[16:21] <jobinar> yes
[16:22] <LoboX> ok it seems your eth0 is not resolving your dhcp information thats why is not working over cable
[16:22] <jobinar> LoboX: No i have not tried manually adding the ip
[16:22] <mneptok> truepurple: why not install Flash from the repositories?
[16:22] <jobinar> how do i rectify that, LoboX ?
[16:22] <LoboX> do it manually then and check
[16:23] <Harris> how do i make  want another account to open with the same username but differnet password
[16:23] <jobinar> i do not have an individual ip, LoboX, its a shared network....
[16:23] <jobinar> so how do i add it manually?
[16:23] <truepurple> mneptok, Maybe I have and it didnt work, or maybe I don't know how. I did the update/upgrade thing and that didn't work
[16:23] <jobinar> i m on my College network
[16:23] <ikonia> truepurple: have you tried installing the package "flashplugin-nonfree" ?
[16:23] <llutz> Harris: you can't
[16:23] <Harris> how do i make  want another account to open with the same username but differnet password
[16:24] <Harris> yes you can
[16:24] <mneptok> truepurple: you need to enable the "partner" repository, then update, then install the "adobe-flashplugin" package
[16:24] <reisio> Harris: you can have the same cosmetic name
[16:24] <truepurple> ikonia, I probably did that to get flash initially, and I assume update/upgrade would keep it updated
[16:24] <reisio> Harris: but the actual /home/THISNAME/ must be unique
[16:24] <truepurple> mneptok, how do I do that?
[16:24] <ikonia> truepurple: no, it doesn't always update, especially on older releases,
[16:24] <reisio> Harris: usermod -c, basically
[16:24] <mneptok> truepurple: is this a 64 bit system?
[16:25] <ikonia> truepurple: if you've already done it, you won't need to do it again
[16:25] <truepurple> mneptok, yes, 11.4 ubuntu
[16:25] <LoboX> jobinar does anybody else is able to connect via cable?
[16:25] <LoboX> or is just you
[16:25] <ikonia> truepurple: can you do a "dpkg -l | grep flash" please just to confirm if the package is installed
[16:25] <mneptok> truepurple: first, "sudo apt-get remove flashplugin-nonfree"
[16:25] <Harris> reiso step by step please
[16:25] <mneptok> truepurple: see what that returns
[16:25] <Harris> i dont want the new one to show up
[16:26] <truepurple> ikonia, ii  flashplugin-installer                 <IP_ADDRESS>ubuntu<IP_ADDRESS>                 Adobe Flash Player plugin installer
[16:26] <escott> jobinar, have you registered your MAC address with the school? thats often a requirement
[16:26] <reisio> Harris: what, from the login screen?
[16:26] <ikonia> truepurple: good to know, thank you
[16:26] <reisio> that'd probably take some lightdm reconfiguring
[16:26] <Harris> yes
[16:26] <jobinar> yes escott , i have
[16:26] <jobinar> i have been using the College network for a year now
[16:26] <mneptok> truepurple: "sudo apt-get remove flashplugin-nonfree flashplugin-installer"
[16:26] <truepurple> mneptok, So I don't have to actually remove it to do as you ask?
[16:26] <LoboX> what i dont see is the information on eth0
[16:26] <ikonia> truepurple: you should remove as mneptok is telling you
[16:27] <LoboX> is blank no ip info
[16:27] <jobinar> how do i get that LoboX ?
[16:27] <mneptok> truepurple: if you installed the packages i mention, you have a 32 bit Flash plugin running with a wrapper for 64. it's ugly.
[16:27] <LoboX> if its by dhcp is auto
[16:27] <mneptok> truepurple: my suggestion gets you the 64 bit native plugin
[16:27] <jobinar> ya its auto
[16:28] <jobinar> i have not added ip manually, neither in Ubuntu nor in Debian nor in Windows
[16:28] <LoboX> ok what you need to do is, verify if anybody else is able to connect via cable on your room
[16:28] <truepurple> mneptok, when I initially did the work trying to get flash installed, I remember specifically aiming for a 64bit version, how can I tell if my version is 64 bit or not?
[16:28] <jobinar> yes they can
[16:28] <LoboX> ok
[16:28] <ikonia> truepurple: uname -a
[16:28] <ikonia> truepurple: can you paste the output of that command please.
[16:28] <truepurple> ikonia, 2.6.38-15-generic #59-Ubuntu SMP Fri Apr 27 16:03:32 UTC 2012 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
[16:29] <ikonia> truepurple: ok, so it's a 64bit host
[16:29] <mneptok> truepurple: you can follow my instructions or not. but sorry, i don;t have time to run in circles figuring out what you did, when i already know exactly what it is you need to do.
[16:29] <truepurple> I also have lots of other troubles with flash too,
[16:29] <truepurple> ok I will mneptok
[16:29] <mneptok> truepurple: "sudo apt-get remove flashplugin-nonfree flashplugin-installer"
[16:29] <LoboX> jobinar ok so check nano /etc/network/interfaces
[16:30] <jobinar> ya what should there be, LoboX ?
[16:30] <truepurple> mneptok, "Package flashplugin-nonfree is not installed, so not removed"
[16:30] <jobinar> its a two line file
[16:30] <jobinar> i had once checked that
[16:30] <mneptok> truepurple: great. are you comfortable using a text editor in the command line (e.g. nano)?
[16:30] <LoboX> ok just wanted to know if you change any information there
[16:30] <truepurple> mneptok, I have before, and I can try my best
[16:31] <LoboX> guess not
[16:31] <mneptok> truepurple: nah, just open the "Synaptic Package Manager" app
[16:31] <jobinar> i can, LoboX using sudo authority, right?
[16:31] <LoboX> yes
[16:31] <jobinar> but what should i change, Lobox?
[16:31] <truepurple> mneptok, done
[16:32] <mneptok> truepurple: from the menu. Settings>Repositories
[16:32] <truepurple> done
[16:32] <LoboX> dont change nothing, just want to know what info you had there
[16:32] <mneptok> truepurple: the "Other Software" tab
[16:32] <mneptok> truepurple: check the box next to "Canonical Partners"
[16:33] <jobinar> i will have to reboot, please hang on
[16:33] <truepurple> mneptok, there are two such entries, one with source code in it, and one without
[16:34] <mneptok> truepurple: the "source" one is optional. in the case of Flash, you can't get the source anyway
[16:34] <truepurple> mneptok, ok I checked the box, click ok?
[16:34] <mneptok> truepurple: yessir
[16:34] <truepurple> I mean close, ok done
[16:35] <mneptok> truepurple: close up Synaptic, open a terminal and paste this:  sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install adobe-flashplugin
[16:35] <truepurple> mneptok, now reload repository?
[16:35] <truepurple> mneptok, don't I need to do something first since the repository changed?
[16:35] <mneptok> truepurple: the "apt-get update" does that
[16:36] <truepurple> I assume you want me to run the line too.
[16:36] <mneptok> truepurple: paste what i put above
[16:36] <truepurple> then, enter, right?
[16:36] <mneptok> truepurple: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install adobe-flashplugin
[16:37] <mneptok> truepurple: yes.
[16:37] <ea1het> good evening
[16:37] <truepurple> mneptok, ok, done, now why is this a better option then downloading from adobe?
[16:37] <ea1het> anyone who has experience in KVM who might help me in a couple of questions?
[16:37] <mneptok> truepurple: because any future updates will be automatic.
[16:38] <jobinar> Here's the link, LoboX http://paste.ubuntu.com/1016600/
[16:38] <truepurple> mneptok, it is ok for my browser to be up while this is happening, right?
[16:38] <mneptok> truepurple: granted, in the case of Flash, which is dead on Linux, updates will be few. but hopefully security problems will be fixed.
[16:38] <mneptok> truepurple: sure, but the broswer may not "see" the plugin until it is closed and restarted.
[16:39] <truepurple> How is flash dead on linux?
[16:39] <Dr_willis> adobe is giving up. ;)
[16:39] <mneptok> truepurple: Adobe has discontinued development of the Linux plugin.
[16:39] <mateo49> hello
[16:39] <ea1het> hi
[16:40] <cristian_c> Hi
[16:40] <truepurple> mneptok, Is the linux community filling the void at all, or plan to?
[16:40] <killer> hi
[16:40] <cristian_c> How can I enable the pinch gesture on my touchpad with ubuntu?
[16:41] <killer> my Speakers are working ok...but no sound in headphones
[16:41] <mneptok> truepurple: it's closed source. the best that can be done is reverse engineering. GNASH is that project. and it's hardly at feature parity with the Adobe plugins.
[16:41] <escott> truepurple, there are open source flash interpreters, but the reality is that by the time those would be 100% compatible flash will be long gone
[16:41] <mozmck> I updated precise this morning and now my sound does not work, but the speakers make a continual popping noise
[16:41] <mozmck> anyone else seeing something like that?
[16:41] <jamescarr> is there an easy way to turn off upstart services from booting?
[16:41] <jamescarr> a quick google just gave me links saying o just comment out files under /etc/init.d
[16:41] <jamescarr> but that sounds daft
[16:42] <LoboX> http://paste.ubuntu.com/1016607/ <-- do this
[16:42] <LoboX> and restart your interfaced
[16:42] <LoboX> interface
[16:42] <cristian_c> There is this page: http://askubuntu.com/questions/11300/how-do-i-test-multi-gesture-capabilities-of-a-touchpad
[16:42] <jobinar> 1 sec , LoboX .
[16:42] <truepurple> mneptok, Will what I did apply to chrome too?
[16:42] <mneptok> truepurple: yes.
[16:42] <Dr_willis> jamescarr,  upstart scripts are in /etc/init/ the old sysv ones are in the init.d and other rc# dirs
[16:42] <NastyNaz> whats the name of the network security/penetration testing linux distro?
[16:43] <jamescarr> Dr_willis, regardless, whats the "right" way to disable em?
[16:43] <Dr_willis> jamescarr,  for an upstart service you could rename its /etc/init/servicename.conf to be servicename.dontrun  or edit its contents and tell it to not load
[16:43] <cristian_c> but I don't understand what set-prop is related to the pinch
[16:43] <mneptok> NastyNaz: not really an Ubuntu support question. thus offtopic.
[16:43] <cristian_c> Any ideas?
[16:43] <jamescarr> Dr_willis, but I still want it to run if I call "service foo start"
[16:43] <Dr_willis> for sysv - you nromally remove the LINK in the rc#  that you want them disabled.
[16:43] <truepurple> mneptok, I closed and restarted chrome, but it still says my version isn't 11.2 or latter, do I need to close all browsers in order for the change to be seen, or just the browsers in question?
[16:43] <mneptok> NastyNaz: but i'm pretty sure Wolfram Alpha could parse that natural language question with a simple CTL-C CTL-V
[16:44] <Dr_willis> jamescarr,  never really noticed.  you may need to edit the .conf file if thats what you want to do
[16:44] <jamescarr> Dr_willis, thanks. Google led me to the chkconfig tool
[16:44] <jamescarr> gonna check it o ut
[16:45] <mneptok> truepurple: look in your home directory for a .mozille folder. look in it, and see if there's a "Plugins" folder. move any Flash version out of that folder.
[16:45] <`prixon> hello
[16:45] <xzerox> exit
[16:45] <mneptok> truepurple: correction, .mozilla
[16:46] <`prixon> I use ubuntu 12.04 with kernel 3.4.0 and get "-1" for "cat /sys/module/i915/parameters/i915_enable_rc6". can someone explain what that means? I was under the impression that i915 is enabled in 12.04
[16:47] <truepurple> mneptok, move it where?
[16:47] <mneptok> truepurple: anywhere but where it is. :)
[16:47] <truepurple> mneptok, also the libflashplayer.so file?
[16:47] <Pierreb>  do ubuntu come with a built in rdp server?
[16:47] <mneptok> truepurple: yes, that is the actual plugin. and it's NOT the one you just got from the repositories.
[16:48] <truepurple> mneptok, then what is flashplayer10_2_p3_64bit_linux_111710.tar.gz?
[16:48] <mneptok> truepurple: it's something you installed manually, it's an older version, and it is overriding the more recent plugin Adobe sent you from the Partner repo.
[16:48] <truepurple> mneptok, so I can safely delete these files?
[16:48] <mneptok> truepurple: the tar.gz is the compressed plugin you got off the web.
[16:49] <mneptok> truepurple: sure, you can delete them
[16:49] <mneptok> truepurple: restart Chrome. then paste this into Chrome's addressbar:  chrome://plugins
[16:49] <truepurple> ah, it worked! I didnt even need to restart
[16:50] <mneptok> truepurple: you now have the 64-bit native 11.2 plugin direct from Adobe.
[16:50] <truepurple> Flash - Version: 11.2 r202
[16:50] <truepurple> mneptok, how about updating chrome?
[16:50] <escott> `prixon, honestly nobody in this channel is going to know what the particular values of a /sys/module parameter are going to mean. did you search online for this? you might try specifying site:kernel.org
[16:51] <mneptok> truepurple: should be done via repos. the Chrome .deb installer adds stuff so Google's repos keep you updated.
[16:51] <truepurple> mneptok, you lost me, what do I need to do?
[16:51] <mneptok> truepurple: nothing :)
[16:52] <truepurple> mneptok, but my chrome version is out of date, I am told the latest version is at least 19, but mine is 18
[16:52] <reisio> truepurple: your chrome version will always be out of date
[16:53] <reisio> on any OS
[16:53] <truepurple> reisio, hmm? Please elaborate on that
[16:53] <VictorCL> how can I avoid a cron that has a  wget  on it to write log to /root ?
[16:53] <`prixon> escott, I can't find i915 in http://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt
[16:53] <VictorCL> > /dev/null 2>&1
[16:53] <VictorCL> is not working
[16:54] <reisio> truepurple: they make a new release every other day
[16:54] <Brend> Hi everyone. So I'm using Xubuntu 12.04, and tonight my mouse has started freaking out. It's as if either the middle button or the scroll wheel are stuck active -- any window I move over is brought to the front, any select box (or tab set) I hover on goes straight to the last item, etc. It doesn't seem to be the mouse itself, it happens with every mouse I have.
[16:54] <llutz> VictorCL: wget -q
[16:54] <truepurple> reisio, Oh, but mine is very out of date it seems, a whole version number, how do I update it anyway?
[16:55] <Brend> While poking around I've noticed that my keyboard is being detected as a mouse (two mice, in fact!) and I'm wondering if that's related: http://bpaste.net/show/qGfOVDylAvfkyK4Efdgh/
[16:56] <reisio> truepurple: only out of date by a week
[16:56] <reisio> Brend: related to what
[16:56] <escott> `prixon, modinfo i915 | grep ^parm:
[16:56] <escott> `prixon, from http://askubuntu.com/questions/59135/how-can-i-know-list-available-options-for-kernel-modules
[16:56] <Brend> reisio: To the problem I described five lines earlier
[16:56] <mneptok> truepurple: how did you install Chrome?
[16:56] <reisio> maybe for someone with join/part disabled
[16:56] <truepurple> reisio, ok, well how do I update it anyway? Or just that I am using linux that I must be behind others?
[16:57] <truepurple> mneptok, I assume software center, but I don't remember for sure
[16:57] <ikonia> truepurple: you can only update it when new packages are offered/made available
[16:57] <reisio> truepurple: with your package manager
[16:57] <mneptok> truepurple: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[16:57] <reisio> attempting to always have upstream's latest version would be a waste of time
[16:57] <truepurple> mneptok, what does dist-upgrade do?
[16:58] <BlouBlou> it upgrades your ubuntu version
[16:58] <`prixon> hmmm -1 = (use per-chip default) (int). thanks!
[16:58] <mneptok> truepurple: pulls in new packages that relate to the very base of the release. like new kernels.
[16:58] <`prixon> can you explain what that means btw?
[16:58] <mneptok> BlouBlou: it does not move between Ubuntu releases. "dist-upgrade" will not move an 11.10 install to 12.04.
[16:59] <truepurple> mneptok, would it update my linux version?
[17:00] <mneptok> truepurple: if by "linux" you mean "the kernel," then yes. if you mean "Ubuntu," then no.
[17:00] <escott> `prixon, -1 means "use the default" which is set based on the chipset
[17:00] <VictorCL> how can I delete all fiels in a folder that starts with  index_api ?
[17:00] <VictorCL> rm index_api*
[17:00] <VictorCL> can I do that
[17:00] <escott> VictorCL, if you want a recursive search find . -iname "index_api*" -delete
[17:01] <alexfu> can someone tell me why an application would not have a label -- http://i.imgur.com/Zo3Bs.png
[17:01] <sacarlson> LoboX: you get it working?
[17:01] <truepurple> mneptok, I just don't understand, so my version would remain 11.4?
[17:01] <`prixon> escott, but how can I know if it's eventually enabled or disabled?
[17:01] <LoboX> not yet was eating something, im trying to stop the dhclient
[17:01] <LoboX> i reboted to see something
[17:01] <truepurple> oh I see where you answer that
[17:01] <LoboX> rebooted
[17:02] <mneptok> truepurple: yes.
[17:02] <escott> `prixon, that you would presumably have to check the source to see what the default is. agreed that its not to helpful to see a -1 there, but thats what it means
[17:02] <reisio> alexfu: no freedesktop .desktop file would be my guess
[17:02] <sacarlson> LoboX: just sudo killall dhclient to try it otherwise just uninstall it
[17:02] <VictorCL> thanks escott
[17:02] <LoboX> ok i reboot and eth0 has the static ip from interfaces
[17:02] <LoboX> ok sec
[17:03] <truepurple> mneptok, Why is that a separate command? and I thought ubuntu was suppose to update all these automatically without me needing to do stuff, so then why do I need to run 3 different command to update everything, and even then have it not be enough?
[17:03] <truepurple> sometimes not enough
[17:04] <LoboX> it boot again
[17:04] <LoboX> i will unistall
[17:04] <mneptok> truepurple: "update" gets you the list of new packages available. without a list of what's changed, how would the system work? "upgrade" gets you the newest packages, except for kernels and such that are going to affect how the machine actually boots and speak to hardware. "dist-upgrade" does that last part.
[17:04] <Sazpaimon_> my grub is giving me "ELF header smaller than expected," and ive purged and reinstalled it from a chroot on another drive
[17:05] <cdavis> What is a popular gmail notifier that works well with unity on 12.04?
[17:05] <truepurple> mneptok, Can ubuntu be made to do any of this automatically?
[17:05] <manzamanna> hi all
[17:05] <OerHeks> truepurple, 12.04 as an automatic update will come with 12.04.1
[17:06] <reisio> hi manzamanna
[17:06] <manzamanna> i've just installed and configured precise on btrfs with dm_crypt
[17:06] <mneptok> truepurple: sure, but i wouldn't. when things are going to change on my machine, i want to know about it.
[17:06] <Penguincsc> cdavis: have you tied enigmal?
[17:06] <LoboX> donde removed dhcp-client
[17:06] <LoboX> done*
[17:06] <manzamanna> now I need to create the snapshots to recover if something goes wrong
[17:07] <mneptok> OerHeks: truepurple is talking about the daily grind of package updates.
[17:07] <cdavis> Penguincsc: nope, but I will take a look
[17:07] <reisio> LoboX: English only! :p
[17:07] <manzamanna> initially there was 2 subvolumes @ and @home
[17:07] <ceti331__> looks liek i've broken my x-server or 'gdm' ? .. since trying to select a dodgy window manager; whenever i boot with graphics i get a bare xserver, no terminal
[17:07] <LoboX> >:P yeah i know >:D
[17:07] <escott> !enter | manzamanna
[17:07] <ceti331__> are there any files i can reset
[17:07] <truepurple> mneptok, but most of those changes are put in a way where I don't know what is being updated anyway, and I am left with trusting the updates, rather then having to try to dredge through research that might not tell me anything anyways
[17:07] <ceti331__> xorg.conf etc..
[17:07] <reisio> ceti331__: and if you right-click ?
[17:08] <ceti331__> i can get to a root text modeterminal from recovery more
[17:08] <ceti331__> i'll try right click..
[17:08] <Brustofski-Fan> My HP laptop has the beats audio.. Does linux have a software replacement for beats audio?
[17:08] <OerHeks> ,ambtrfs tools
[17:08] <reisio> Brustofski-Fan: is beats audio more than just marketing?
[17:08] <OerHeks> manzamanna, btrfs & snapshots > https://help.ubuntu.com/community/btrfs#How_to_work_with_snaphots_in_Ubuntu.27s_layout
[17:09] <alexfu> reisio, even when I add a .desktop file, the label is still blank.
[17:09] <ceti331__> its since messing with both nvidia settings and then changing desktop environemnt..
[17:09] <reisio> alexfu: might have to log out/in
[17:09] <manzamanna> now I have @/@_cleancompleteinstall and @/@home_cleancompleteinstall ( / and /home)
[17:09] <manzamanna> is it correct?
[17:09] <ceti331__> yeah right click does nothing
[17:09] <xro> hi, i using ubuntu 12.04 with unity and i would try to install cooky... Is there someone who already done it? does it work?
[17:10] <nckrazze> hello
[17:10] <reisio> hi
[17:10] <ceti331__> i have the raw X cursor on a black screen.  i recall someone telling me about "runlevel " somewhere
[17:10] <nckrazze> can anyone help me, I am geting sudo errors when trying to update
[17:10] <xro> *conky :P
[17:10] <manzamanna> OerHeks, I have read it but I still not understand
[17:10] <Brustofski-Fan> reisio, i noticed in windows when i truned beats audio on.. got a cleaner sound.. and had a few vocal controls...
[17:10] <alexfu> reisio, i'll try that.
[17:10] <ceti331__> when i go into a root terminal, it has some state associated with the last windowmanager I tried - GNUstep  / windowmaker…
[17:10] <xangua> xro: there is 'conky colors' a very easy conky setup xro, you can find it on gnome-look.org
[17:11] <xro> xanga, does it work with unity?
[17:11] <nckrazze> is there anyone here that can help me, please message me
[17:11] <LoboX> sacarlson sacarlson FINALLY!!! i have dhcp ip >:D
[17:11] <ceti331__> xinitrc ? xorg.conf ? .. is it something to do with the gdm… how to get back to defaults for unity… or even a raw xterm on bare xserver
[17:11] <LoboX> no internet tho but i will check that now
[17:11] <reisio> Brustofski-Fan: uhuh...
[17:12] <reisio> Brustofski-Fan: I assume pulseaudio's mixer/prefs will do the same thing
[17:12] <judgen> Any idea why skype ignores the gtk2 theme (it worked in debian when gnome2.30 was installed) I am guessing it is using gtk3 in ubuntu for themes.
[17:12] <Brustofski-Fan> reisio, kinda gives the bose speakers effects
[17:12] <manzamanna> ubottu ok thanks
[17:12] <reisio> Brustofski-Fan: is not any special technology AFAIK, just a brand
[17:12] <alexfu> reisio, nope. didn't work. Anyone in here use IntelliJ on 12.04?
[17:12] <xangua> judgen: did you set on skype preferences to use the current Desktop theme¿¿
[17:13] <Brustofski-Fan> reisio, how do i access pulseaudio's mixer/prefs
[17:13] <reisio> Brustofski-Fan: ask the channel, don't use it myself
[17:13] <pepee> hi. is there an app to record (as in make a video) rdp or vbox vrdp in ubuntu?
[17:14] <reisio> there are extra packages that don't come preinstalled, too
[17:14] <reisio> pepee: yup
[17:14] <Barbariandude> Hi guys! Due to a series of unfortunate events, I'm now forced to use a xubuntu live USB as my primary operating system, booting friends/family computers into it when I need to do some work. How do I password protect a live, persistent USB on startup?
[17:14] <Penguincsc> what do you need nckrazze
[17:14] <pepee> reisio, which one?
[17:14] <truepurple> mneptok, thanks for all the help
[17:14] <reisio> pepee: there's recordmydesktop (GNOME & KDE frontends available) for starters
[17:14] <nckrazze> i need help with apt-get update, can you pm me?
[17:15] <Penguincsc> Barbariandude: try encfs
[17:15] <qwertyuiop> hi!
[17:15] <ceti331__>  i have a usb stick i can reinstall with i think.
[17:15] <Penguincsc> nckrazze: why pm?
[17:15] <ceti331__> i'll resort to that
[17:15] <Penguincsc> nckrazze: just ask
[17:16] <Penguincsc> nckrazze: te more people see your question - the more help you get ;-)
[17:16] <nckrazze> i am trying to do sudo apt-get update, but i get "could not open lock file /var/lib/apt/lists/lock - open (13: permission denied)
[17:16] <Barbariandude> Penguincsc: Will this also work on application memory, such as thunderbird or pidgin login?
[17:16] <pepee> reisio, that will record a linux desktop... I need to record a remote vnc/rdp session from a vbox vm
[17:16] <Harris> how do i link my ubuntu account to my vista account
[17:16] <Penguincsc> nckrazze: try sudo apt-get update
[17:17] <xangua> nckrazze: does you used has administrative/sudo privileges¿
[17:17] <Penguincsc> Barbariandude: I am not sure, but you could create a ramdisk
[17:17] <xangua> nckrazze: are you usign the guest account¿
[17:17] <nckrazze> yeah i know penguin, i get "11: resource temporarily unavailable" after I enter my password
[17:17] <Penguincsc> Barbariandude: RAM contents are lost anyway, so no worries there
[17:17] <nckrazze> I installed to my hdd
[17:18] <nckrazze> and i made account
[17:18] <Harris> `how do i link my ubuntu account to my vista account
[17:18] <Penguincsc> Barbariandude: check out Backtrack Linux on google
[17:18] <OerHeks> harris Ubuntu and vista accounts don't mix
[17:18] <Penguincsc> Barbariandude: A USB pendrive isn't a good idea for such a thing - try an external HDD
[17:19] <Penguincsc> nckrazze: do you have more than one user account?
[17:19] <nckrazze> xangua: do you know?
[17:19] <nckrazze> no i do not penguin
[17:19] <xangua> nckrazze: know to cook¿ be straight
[17:20] <Penguincsc> nckrazze: if you have only yours, try running 'sudo apt-get update' from console
[17:20] <nckrazze> i did that penguin, i get the message i said
[17:20] <Harris> how do i make a hidden user account in ubuntu
[17:20] <Barbariandude> Penguincsc: Ok. Is there any way (other than Puppy Linux which is unusable due to some Broadcom STA driver issues) to get a portable OS that is password-protected? I don't need it to be secure against crypto-analysis, I just need to be confident tech-illiterate people can't enter-enter-access messenger
[17:21] <Harris> how do i make a hidden user account in ubuntu
[17:21] <SafariMonkey> Harris: was that your attempt at a hidden IRC account?
[17:21] <Penguincsc> nckrazze: so it means another installation program (like the Software Center)is open in the background
[17:21] <nckrazze> you sure penguin, i;ll check it out, gimma 1 sec
[17:21] <chu> What do you mean by "hidden" Harris? Just not visible at the login screen?
[17:21] <Harris> yes chu
[17:21] <Harris> SafariMonkey,  i dont know what you are talking about
[17:21] <nckrazze> how do you open the ubuntu alternative for the windows task manager?
[17:22] <pozzz> Hi. trying to install Joomla 254 locally on LAMP, Kubuntu 12.04. The thing is I've found some old screeshots with Step1 and a list of TICKED/GREEN directories that shoud be writable. Now you do not get that. Can I just go ahead with the installation without doing the chown and chmod commands???
[17:22] <SafariMonkey> Harris: you left the room immediately after posting. sorry, it's my bad sense of humor.
[17:22] <OerHeks> nckrazze, open terminal: top  ( better install Htop)
[17:22] <nckrazze> what oer? terminal top?
[17:22] <Penguincsc> Barbariandude: in that case, just set it to lock the screen. If you press ALT-CTRL-L before you leave the machine unattended, it will lock immediately
[17:23] <Harris> SafariMonkey,  my computer froze
[17:23] <Harris> chu,  what do i do to make it
[17:23] <chu> Uunfortunately Harris, things don't look too good.
[17:23] <OerHeks> nckrazze, yes, in terminal: top
[17:23] <Harris> why
[17:23] <nckrazze> i still cant get it penguin, its not working. i have nothing else open
[17:23] <Penguincsc> nckrazze: ALT-Shift-Esc
[17:23] <chu> Look here: http://askubuntu.com/questions/92349/how-do-i-hide-a-particular-user-from-the-login-screen
[17:23] <Barbariandude> Penguincsc: Yes, but they immediately enter my dekstop no-questions-asked if they reboot and select "try without installing"
[17:23] <Barbariandude> *desktop
[17:23] <SafariMonkey> Harris: yeah, sorry, ironic humor is hard to convey on IRC
[17:24] <chu> Harris: Here is the associated bug report too: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lightdm/+bug/857651
[17:24] <chu> Sorry.
[17:24] <Harris> chu,  how do i try it
[17:24] <Penguincsc> Barbariandude: I don't think there's such a distro. Why can't you install?
[17:25] <chu> ...
[17:25] <Harris> chu,  how do i make the hidden account
[17:25] <Penguincsc> nckrazze: open a terminal and enter 'pgrep apt'
[17:25] <MaynardWaters> hey guys im trying to update a eeepc netbook on 11.04 to the 2.6.38-15generic I am getting some erros that "connot read from /dev/sdc" it appears to be trying to edit grub, but doesnt know where to look
[17:25] <chu> Harris: I don't know. Read the links I gave you.
[17:26] <Barbariandude> Penguincsc: There is such a distro, it is Puppy linux. As I said, as of the latest version it doesn't support the Broadcom network card in 2 of the machines I'm using. I cannot install as the machines belong to other people, they are allowing me use as long as I don't touch the hard drives
[17:27] <nckrazze_> yo pengi i got it
[17:29] <Penguincsc> nckrazze_: what was it then?
[17:31] <thelastknowngod> ahoy! anyone from San Jose or LA?

[17:36] <Penguincsc> why would you wanna do that?
[17:38] <mrgt> hey. is there any way to control sound for each application separately? e.g. mute the sound on chrome and keep the sound for movie player.
[17:38] <escott> mrgt, pulseaudio should give you controls for that
[17:39] <xangua> mrgt: sound icon -configuration - app tab
[17:39] <manzamanna> find the solution on #btrfs
[17:39] <escott> MaynardWaters, so what is the question then? you dont know how to install grub
[17:41] <MaynardWaters> escott: im concerned about killing this "applying changes" I dont want to f up my kernel
[17:41] <escott> MaynardWaters, so what is the exact text of the message?
[17:42] <mr0wl> what's the deal with Skype in Linux?
[17:42] <pepee> hmm I got some dependencies problem: The following packages have unmet dependencies:   librtmp-dev : Depends: librtmp0 (= 2.4~20110711.gitc28f1bab-1) but 2.4~20110711.gitc28f1bab-1ubuntu0~ppa1~oneiric1 is to be installed
[17:43] <MaynardWaters> "error: cannoc read from '/dev/sdc'"
[17:43] <chrometiger> can anyone help me figure out why google earth wont work for me and why I cannot log into gnome shell?   I keep getting reverted to fallback mode
[17:43] <escott> mr0wl, a straight flush. what do you mean by deal?
[17:43] <MaynardWaters> and it just keep printing that in the details box
[17:43] <escott> MaynardWaters, and you are seeing this when?
[17:43] <MaynardWaters> right now
[17:43] <Penguincsc> chrometiger: maybe a graphics card driver issue?
[17:43] <escott> MaynardWaters, obviously you are seeing it right now, but what command did you run that is causing this
[17:44] <shurikrulik> hi men, give peace of advice pls.. How edit txt file which is in /etc(root rights) from terminal.
[17:44] <escott> chrometiger, you probably dont have a glx layer running. what kind of graphics card?
[17:44] <chrometiger> Penguinsc: as far as I can see and others helped me earlier  it seems my graphics drivers are installed right
[17:44] <escott> shurikrulik, gksudo gedit (or any other editor you want to use)
[17:44] <MaynardWaters> i just attempted to update using the gui that pops up when it finds updates
[17:44] <chrometiger> escott: Intel mobile 4 series card
[17:44] <MonkeyDust> shurikrulik  type sudo -e [filename]
[17:44] <Penguincsc> chrometiger: only google earth?
[17:45] <Penguincsc> maybe an OpenGL issue?
[17:45] <escott> chrometiger, what is the cpu?
[17:45] <Penguincsc> chrometiger: run dmesg
[17:45] <chrometiger> Google Earth says  "Unknown Graphics card"
[17:45] <escott> MaynardWaters, can you give any more context on this error. i still cant figure out where it is coming from
[17:46] <MonkeyDust> shurikrulik  or sudo nano [filename]
[17:46] <Penguincsc> chrometiger: try to log out and choose Unity 2D  does it work then?
[17:46] <shurikrulik> don't opens...
[17:47] <chrometiger> escott: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1016701/
[17:47] <escott> shurikrulik, what exactly did you type?
[17:47] <shurikrulik> sudo nano default.txt
[17:47] <vph>  #ffmpeg
[17:47] <chrometiger> Penguinsc: Unity and Unity 2d work,    I cant get gnome shell to work
[17:47] <escott> chrometiger, /proc/cpuinfo would be more helpful
[17:48] <escott> shurikrulik, and what does "pwd" say?
[17:48] <MaynardWaters> escott I openedd up this eeepc after a few months of not touching it, it was working find, the update manager popped up with security updates, in clicked install, it go about 70-80% done, then stopped, I see the connot read from /dev/sdc under the details box below the applying changes where it says configureing linux-image-2.6.38-15-generic
[17:49] <shurikrulik> nothing no activity
[17:49] <shurikrulik> no answers
[17:49] <MaynardWaters> im probably just going to sudo kill the update soon if you dont have any ideas where this is coming from
[17:50] <escott> MaynardWaters, without some additional lines (like those that preceded the error) its pretty much impossible to figure out what happened
[17:50] <shurikrulik> terminal recive command but dose nothing
[17:50] <escott> shurikrulik, do you have a terminal prompt?
[17:50] <chrometiger> escott: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1016706/
[17:50] <shurikrulik> no
[17:50] <Penguincsc> chrometiger: do you have multiple monitors?
[17:51] <judgen> i have tried both current desktop and gtk
[17:51] <chrometiger> no
[17:51] <chrometiger> laptop
[17:51] <shurikrulik> nothing absolutely
[17:51] <Penguincsc> chrometiger: whats the video chip?
[17:51] <chrometiger> Intel Mobile 4 series
[17:52] <escott> chrometiger, thats a low end chip. perhaps the graphics card just cant handle it
[17:52] <escott> shurikrulik, then what are you seeing?
[17:52] <chrometiger> so does gnomeshell require more than Unity ?
[17:53] <escott> chrometiger, you could send us "glxinfo"
[17:53] <Tigerboy> I've gotten such poor overall video performance under ubuntu considering I have a highend amd and 8core cpu running at 4.2gigahertz per core. a lot of tearing and when I turn tear-free on in amd settings it is very jittery and frame loss goes up
[17:54] <chrometiger> http://paste.ubuntu.com/1016712/
[17:54] <shurikrulik> i entered sudo nano default.txt , terminal swallowed it and nothing else
[17:54] <Penguincsc> chrometiger: does it crash or dosn't start at all?
[17:54] <escott> shurikrulik, perhaps you are in nano already i think ctrl-x is the exit key
[17:55] <Tigerboy> I am using the default AMD commercial driver that comes with Ubuntu. Should I change it to something else for better performance?
[17:55] <chrometiger> gnomeshell doesn't even load  it just spits me into  gnome panel    default
[17:55] <shurikrulik> okey, thk u for help.
[17:55] <escott> chrometiger, might you have ever installed nvidia drivers?
[17:55] <compdoc> Tigerboy, did you select the propritory driver?
[17:55] <Tigerboy> yes
[17:55] <compdoc> proprietary
[17:55] <compdoc> try the native one
[17:56] <Tigerboy> commercial = proprietary
[17:56] <chrometiger> escott: yeah   when I first installed 11.10  I was hooked to my main pc   "im running off an external hd"
[17:56] <Tigerboy> I need the features of the commercial/proprietary
[17:56] <luc4_mac> Hi! I've been asked by the ubuntu developers to test a mainline kernel. I installed it but it is not booting. I reported this result but now the problem is that I can't boot anymore :-) I'd have to select another kernel in grub, but my keyboard does not respond. Is my only chance to use a live CD?
[17:56] <escott> chrometiger, then you need to remove the nvidia driver
[17:56] <compdoc> not if it doesnt wrk
[17:56] <Penguincsc> chrometiger: try this: http://askubuntu.com/questions/86465/switch-from-nvidia-to-internal-intel-hd-graphics-opengl-does-not-work
[17:56] <chrometiger> escott:  how do I go about that
[17:57] <escott> chrometiger, you can use jockey to disable the nvidia driver or you can remove it with apt-get
[17:58] <chrometiger> escott:  k  gimme a bit  i'll try
[17:58] <Penguincsc> chrometiger: it says it in step 4 of the guide I ssent you
[17:59] <chrisgeorge> For ubuntu network-manager-openvpn, is there a way for it to import certs that are embedded in the ovpn file?
[17:59] <baazigar|rajat> Hey , i cant search any applications through dash home search bar, any help?
[18:00] <baazigar|rajat> Though files can be searched
[18:00] <baazigar|rajat> I did some upgrade and this happened
[18:01] <nacho222> Hi
[18:01] <Penguincsc> baazigar|rajat: did you try dist-upgrade too?
[18:01] <Penguincsc> nacho222: how can we help - just ask
[18:01] <nacho222> Thanks
[18:01] <nacho222> I just purchased and put together a new pc
[18:02] <nacho222> looking into Ubuntu, but unsure of its benefits, and what I would lose vs. an old copy of XP?
[18:02] <nacho222> I know they both have a GUI
[18:02] <nacho222> but my concern would be about lack of programs, like itunes (which my wife uses to sync her phone and ipad)
[18:03] <Penguincsc> nacho222: iPhone sync is supported
[18:03] <Penguincsc> nacho222: did not try iPad, but I guess it is also
[18:04] <escott> nacho222, install it and see. it only $0.00 a month for the first 20000 months
[18:04] <nacho222> lol
[18:04] <nacho222> thanks, but how is iphone sync supported?
[18:04] <dontknow> what is going on here
[18:04] <escott> !ipod | nacho222
[18:04] <nacho222> music is not a concern, I'm more concerned about contacts and apps
[18:04] <Penguincsc> nacho222: look here: http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/why-use-ubuntu
[18:04] <goddard> what is this CRON[3683]: (root) CMD (  [ -x /usr/lib/php5/maxlifetime ] && [ -d /var/lib/php5 ] && find /var/lib/php5/ -depth -mindepth 1 -maxdepth 1 -type f -cmin +$(/usr/lib/php5/maxlifetime) ! -execdir fuser -s {} 2>/dev/null \; -delete)
[18:04] <Bulletrulz> im pumped for the dell ubuntu laptop YAY  linux gets reconized
[18:04] <mr0wl> escott: is it still being supported or what
[18:04] <xangua> (13:03:22) Penguincsc: nacho222: iPhone sync is supported - only for music, but sometimes after apple release an ios upgrade the support is broken; apples and penguins don't get along
[18:05] <Bulletrulz> !kubuntu
[18:05] <escott> mr0wl, your question has scrolled off screen. what was it
[18:05] <mr0wl> escott: about skype
[18:05] <choppyfireballs> Yes i'm excited for the dell laptop running ubuntu out of the box, then I remembered it's a Dell
[18:05] <judgen> i found this error with skype: (skype:29901): Gtk-WARNING **: /usr/lib/gtk-2.0/2.10.0/engines/libubuntulooks.so: fel ELF-klass: ELFCLASS64
[18:05] <escott> mr0wl, yes it is still supported
[18:06] <Penguincsc> nacho222: here: http://iphonecontacts.blogspot.com/2011/07/sync-iphone-contacts-to-ubuntu.html
[18:06] <mr0wl> escott: so skype for linux is being actively developed?
[18:06] <Bulletrulz> chppyfireballs but it still is a main laptop ubuntu is getting more regionized by main computer makers
[18:06] <chrometiger> escott,  penguinsc  thanks
[18:06] <Bulletrulz> ya mr0wl i cant even get my cam to work on that
[18:06] <nacho222> Thanks Penguincsc
[18:06] <choppyfireballs> bulletrulz that's why i'm excited for it
[18:06] <chrometiger> gnomeshell is working
[18:06] <escott> mr0wl, yes
[18:06] <choppyfireballs> I'm more excited for steam coming onto linux
[18:06] <mr0wl> escott: great, thanks
[18:06] <vovkav> Ladies and Gentlemen! Does anyone know of a best (short , concise just-enough) instructions for building debian binary packages out of "make install" software for internal use? (I know how to write control-files, still only have a slight knoledge of makefiles)
[18:07] <Bulletrulz> escott i dont get a cam in skype4linux
[18:07] <Ztane> upgrade to 12.04 had crashed on a laptop and now
[18:07] <Ztane> single shell is booted to
[18:07] <Ztane> and ...
[18:07] <Ztane> many commands say
[18:07] <bazhang> !checkinstall | vovkav
[18:07] <Penguincsc> nacho222: run it as a live system and try
[18:08] <Bulletrulz> !awesome
[18:08] <escott> Bulletrulz, ok. how did you install skype? are you 64bit? have you tried using the LD_PRELOAD trick?
[18:08] <bazhang> Bulletrulz, /msg ubottu
[18:08] <Penguincsc> nacho222: this is about a year old guide, so it might not work
[18:08] <nacho222> what do you mean by a live system? Install it and give it a shot?
[18:08] <Bulletrulz> escott im 32 bit and ld reload>
[18:08] <Bulletrulz> ?
[18:08] <Penguincsc> nacho222: another option would be to sync the iPhone with Gmail and then to Ubuntu
[18:09] <Ztane> single shell sayhs: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6: version `glibc_2.14' not found (required by /lib/libply.so.2)
[18:09] <escott> Bulletrulz, LD_PRELOAD is often needed to make 32bit skype work on 64bit systems. how did you install skype
[18:09] <nacho222> will that do apps as well? Or just contacts?
[18:09] <Bulletrulz> escott no! i am a 32 bit system
[18:09] <choppyfireballs> When i installed skype i ran the installer for 32 bit i didn't need ldpreload
[18:09] <Penguincsc> nacho222: if you can spare a PC - defiantly
[18:09] <choppyfireballs> I am also a 32 bit system
[18:09] <Bulletrulz> im using LXDE ubuntu 12.04
[18:10] <nacho222> ok, cool. I'll give it a shot!
[18:10] <Penguincsc> nacho222: a live USB is choosing "Try Ubuntu" from the boot screen
[18:10] <escott> Bulletrulz, how did you install skype
[18:10] <Bulletrulz> esott i think sudo apt-get install skype
[18:10] <choppyfireballs> ^^
[18:10] <tomvolek> I need to get a complete dump/image of the disk (OS, configs, everythig)  to be used to restore another box, what should I use ?
[18:10] <choppyfireballs> is how I installed skype
[18:10] <goddard> kill the javascript desktop plugins
[18:11] <nacho222> would a dual boot be a safer option? I'm trying to avoid that as I only have a 64 gb ssd and would like to save space
[18:11] <escott> Bulletrulz, and what kind of webcam do you have? does the webcam work in applications like cheese
[18:11] <Penguincsc> tomvolek: Clonezilla
[18:11] <MonkeyDust> tomvolek  i've not used it myself, but there's clonezilla
[18:11] <dijonyummy> anyone use tmux or screen? is there a way to integrate it with the terminal app (say konsole) scrollback?  i know you can page back in them, but its not easy to select multiple pages of text, like you can if you use the terminal app scrollback
[18:11] <tomvolek> thnaks MonkeyDust
[18:11] <Ztane> hmm seems that apt-get install -f is fixing things...
[18:11] <choppyfireballs> escott if you google webcam linux it will bring up a package available forinstall with like 1000 webcams in it
[18:11] <Bulletrulz> escott yeah it works with gucview
[18:11] <dijonyummy> anyone understand this select/copy multiple pages of scrollback issue in tmux or screen and a way to get that to work?
[18:12] <Penguincsc> tomvolek: http://clonezilla.org/
[18:12] <escott> Bulletrulz, and what options do you have in skype to select the webcam?
[18:12] <xangua> choppyfireballs: wich is already on the kerenl you mean¿
[18:12] <tomvolek> thanks MonkeyDust I am on it.
[18:12] <Neverkas011x> asd

[18:14] <Penguincsc> Neverkas011x: be specific - what did you try and what happens
[18:14] <trism> dijonyummy: replace that with ctrl+B in tmux if you don't change the default key
[18:15] <Penguincsc> Neverkas011x: did you install Guest Additions?
[18:15] <Bulletrulz> thx escott i fixed it

[18:17] <Bulletrulz> oh lol
[18:17] <Bulletrulz> i use netbook :D
[18:17] <vovkav> bazhang: is checkinstall suitable if I want to include resulting debs on a custom install CD (used internally only) ?
[18:17] <thomasd> hay if i where to just change a filesystem flag on a partition would that screw up my computer?
[18:17] <choppyfireballs> just run 12.04
[18:17] <choppyfireballs> runs fine on my netbook bullet
[18:18] <escott> thomasd, what flag? on what partition?
[18:18] <Neverkas011x> hey, i installed before enter here that
[18:18] <bazhang> vovkav, sure. you can remaster a cd
[18:18] <bazhang> !remaster | vovkav
[18:18] <Bulletrulz> choppy its kinda slow so i use lubuntu with docky looks and fells like regerly ubuntu but way faster
[18:18] <thomasd> i have a partition that is "suposed" to be shared across windows and linux. I had it set to be fat32 but now i want it to be ntfs and i want to chage that on the partition table
[18:18] <Neverkas011x> msg say me to "dismount guest additions?"
[18:19] <Bulletrulz> !die
[18:19] <escott> thomasd, you cant just change a partition type and keep the data
[18:19] <choppyfireballs> bullet fair enough i'm just using unity I would be using xfce if I could but it just errors on loading and I don't want to mess with it
[18:19] <bazhang> Bulletrulz, stop that
[18:19] <Penguincsc> Neverkas011x: when you click inside a window the scroll doesn't work?
[18:19] <shaneo> hi guys when setting up an apache2 server how do i get it to use my public ip instead of localhost

[18:20] <Penguincsc> Neverkas011x: try checking the Mouse Setup in the System Settings
[18:20] <escott> thomasd, which would mean your partition table will be wrong
[18:20] <mouse> I don't know the proper term for it but I'm looking for a program that can spam key press events when I hold down a mouse or keyboard button.  Can anyone help me with this?
[18:20] <choppyfireballs> shaneo you're looking for a setting that redirects to your local ip it will either be in your router gateway or firewall depending on what you have
[18:20] <Penguincsc> twoshot_: lsmod |grep usb
[18:20] <thomasd> escott how would i go about changing that partition from fat32 to ntfs?
[18:20] <twoshot_> penguincsc: what about hci?
[18:20] <shaneo> choppyfireballs, yeah im setting up a wordpress and i want it to connect be able to be connected to from outside the private network
[18:21] <escott> thomasd, copy the data off to another disk, then reformat the partition and copy the data back
[18:21] <oCean> mouse: type  xev  in terminal
[18:22] <thomasd> escott there is currently no data on the partition. I just want to reformat it. I'm curious if i can change the filesystem-type flag on the partition table without messing up my other partitions
[18:22] <escott> thomasd, then reformat and change the partition type
[18:22] <Penguincsc> mouse: keytouch or keylaunch
[18:22] <thomasd> escott will that screw my other partitions up though?
[18:22] <escott> thomasd, no
[18:22] <Penguincsc> twoshot_: HCI is usb storage
[18:22] <thomasd> ty
[18:23] <Chell> thomas: no it will not, just format it as ntfs
[18:23] <thomas> *thomasd
[18:23] <Chell> oh srry
[18:23] <mouse> Penguincsc, Thank you.  Keylaunch looks promising.
[18:24] <Penguincsc> mouse: cool
[18:24] <xro> Hi, i would like to set up --> disk mount at boot... it's a ntfs disk on /dev/sda2.... So i think about modifying my fstab --> /dev/sda2       /media/DATA     ntfs       --> but what are the right options dump and pass? thanks
[18:24] <llutz> !ntfs | xro
[18:24] <n-iCe> hi
[18:25] <Penguincsc> hey yashshah
[18:25] <n-iCe> how to open a file called: WordList Collection-clean.lst.7z.001
[18:25] <yashshah> Penguincsc: hi
[18:25] <xro> llutz , it's a data partition but in ntfs...
[18:25] <MonkeyDust> n-iCe  7z is something like zip
[18:25] <Penguincsc> n-iCe: it's part of a sequence
[18:25] <escott> n-iCe, looks like a part of a 7z so you probably need to get the other parts first
[18:25] <llutz> xro: yes? where do you see a difference?
[18:26] <n-iCe> escott: ah, that's my question, there is no way to see 001 without downloading 002 ?
[18:26] <jcrza> nope
[18:26] <jcrza> it's incomplete
[18:26] <n-iCe> dman
[18:26] <xro> llutz, what is the difference when i click the disk in my desktop or in the fstab?
[18:26] <n-iCe> Well I would need to download 5GB >.<
[18:26] <llutz> xro: "Windows/Mac partitions" refers to ntfs/hfs,
[18:27] <MonkeyDust> xro  fstab makes it mount at startup
[18:27] <yesko> I am new to setting up VPN(Trying to learn). So i installed pptpd . Now how i can i connect to the server from my other country please?
[18:28] <yesko> Perhaps i need a client tool for pptpd?
[18:28] <Neverkas011x> +i
[18:28] <Guest53677> hello - can anybody see this?
[18:28] <Guest53677> I am new to IRC
[18:28] <Neverkas011x> I'm too new in chat irc, my english is bad xD
 i see your face
[18:29] <llutz> yesko: install "network-manager-pptp" if you're using networkmanager, setup a new connection with your settings, connect, done
[18:29] <jcrza> Yeah, put some clothes on
[18:29] <Guest53677> hello neverkas - can you see me?
[18:29] <MonkeyDust> Guest53677  i see your desktop
[18:29] <yesko> llutz, I am using KDE
[18:29] <jackdjj> hi
[18:29] <Neverkas011x> i a question, refer
[18:29] <llutz> yesko: its dark outside. what does it have to do with your problem?
[18:29] <jackdjj> what is lighter: gdm or lightdm ?
[18:29] <mib_mib> hi guys, i have a directory of .rtf files i'm trying to convert to .txt using the program 'unrtf' - how do i run this program on every file in the directory?
[18:30] <Neverkas011x> how use scroll mouse in linux?
[18:30] <Penguincsc> jackdjj: LightDM is the login manager
[18:30] <Neverkas011x> i installed guest additions
[18:30] <yesko> llutz, network-manager-pptp i will need. (wicd is running currently)
[18:30] <llutz> mib_mib: for rtf in *.rtf; do unrtf -----whatever "$file"; done
[18:30] <SafariMonkey> Neverkas011x: you meen scroll wheel or button?
[18:31] <SafariMonkey> *mean
[18:31] <Neverkas011x> scroll wheel
[18:31] <llutz> yesko: ah, why didn't you say that? so you have to use a different pptp-client
[18:31] <mib_mib> llutz: what does the "$file" do ?
[18:31] <jackdjj> Penguincsc: i know, these are 2 desktop managers. I've to choose between gdm and lightdm and i want to choose the lightest.
[18:31] <llutz> !info pptp-linux  | yesko
[18:31] <Neverkas011x> i search in google, a say modified a file in /etc/x11/xorg.conf
[18:31] <llutz> mib_mib: sry  "$rtf"      not $file
[18:31] <Penguincsc> jackdjj: what version of Ubuntu?
[18:32] <Neverkas011x> but my directory not exist this file
[18:32] <thomasd> the type wont change i'm using cfdisk but no matter how many times i tell it to switch to ntfs it stay's as vfat
[18:32] <jackdjj> Penguincsc: the last. 12
[18:32] <mib_mib> llutz: rite - what does "$rtf" do? return the file name at the end or what
[18:32] <Penguincsc> 12.04 uses lightdm
[18:32] <llutz> mib_mib: it holds the filenames read from "for loop"
[18:32] <jackdjj> Penguincsc: lsb_release says "precise"
[18:33] <Penguincsc> jackdjj: GDM will mess up your session. Unity uses Lightdm
[18:33] <xro> llutz, so, fstab should look like --> /dev/sda2 /media/DATA ntfs-3g  ???????? 0 0
[18:33] <SafariMonkey> Neverkas011x: are you on virtualbox?
[18:33] <mib_mib> llutz: is it a local reference inside the loop to the current filename?
[18:33] <llutz> xro: read the link ubottu gave you
[18:33] <jackdjj> Penguincsc: but i *don't* want to use unity. I will use gnome/pekwm and others ..
[18:33] <llutz> mib_mib: yes
[18:33] <reisio> xro: defaults (optionally with ,noauto)
[18:33] <mib_mib> llutz: ah ok cool
[18:34] <reisio> xro: you might also want to use UUID=foo instead of /dev/sda2 (run /sbin/blkid)
[18:34] <kanupatar> how can i open autoxad files (*.dwg) files in ubuntu ?
[18:34] <Penguincsc> Neverkas011x: check put the Mouse and Touchpad in the System Settings
[18:34] <xro> default options are --> rw,auto,user,fmask=0111,dmask=0000 in the link... is it right?
[18:34] <Penguincsc> jackdjj: doesn't matter - 12.04 uses lightdm (which is lighter than GDM) ;-)
[18:35] <reisio> kanupatar: probably with skencil/imagemagick/dia or the like
[18:35] <jackdjj> Penguincsc: ok, thanks :)
[18:35] <kanupatar> reisio: cool, is that available in software center?
[18:36] <kanupatar> reisio: will it open .dwg files?
[18:37] <reisio> kanupatar: probably :)
[18:38] <reisio> kanupatar: http://lx-viewer.sf.net/
[18:38] <jackjjd> ciao
[18:39] <jackjjd> qual'è il desktop manager più leggero? gdm o lightdm ?
[18:39] <DJones> !it | jackjjd
[18:40] <reisio> jackjjd: lightdm is lighter than gdm, though there are others, and strictly speaking you don't even need one
[18:40] <jackjjd> DJones: sorry. A typo with tha /join command
[18:40] <DJones> jackjjd: No worries
[18:41] <jackjjd> reisio: thanks
[18:42] <stocky> hello anybody can in here speaks german and could help me about my Internet?
[18:42] <llutz> !de | stocky
[18:42] <bazhang> stocky, #ubuntu-de
[18:43] <stocky> thanks ;)
[18:45] <yesko> llutz, Confused!!! Not understanding what to install
[18:45] <choppyfireballs> anyone in the irc played warzone 2100 yet
[18:46] <Penguincsc> choppyfireballs: I did
[18:46] <Penguincsc> yesko: what is the problem?
[18:47] <Qasaur> Alright guys
[18:47] <Qasaur> I think I'm ready to fix very basic bugs
[18:47] <Qasaur> where do I start?
[18:47] <yesko> Penguincsc, Trying to setup VPN(PPTPD). My network manager is wicd on KDE. So i don't know which client software i need to install
[18:47] <llutz> yesko: http://mcwhirter.com.au/craige/blog/2006/Creating_an_Ubuntu-Debian_PPTP_Client
[18:48] <Penguincsc> yesko: tri KVPn
[18:48] <Penguincsc> yesko: try kvpnc
[18:48] <bobweaver> Qasaur: if you would like there is a thing called harvest that finds bugs that need to be fixed and you can fix them http://harvest.ubuntu.com/
[18:48] <Penguincsc> yesko: it's a front end
[18:48] <bobweaver> If that is even what you are talking about.
[18:49] <jrib> !dev | Qasaur
[18:49] <Penguincsc> yesko: what's on the other side?
[18:49] <kwk> I fucking love the new ubuntu update, thanks guys!
[18:49] <choppyfireballs> kwk it's pretty awesome iddn it
[18:49] <yesko> Penguincsc, Server? It is pptpd package
[18:50] <bobweaver> !language | kwk
[18:50] <Penguincsc> yesko: is it your own server? an ISP?
[18:51] <kwk> ubottu: Sure, I will from now on speak perfectly polite
[18:51] <yesko> Penguincsc, own
[18:52] <Penguincsc> yesko: I need more details - is this an Ubuntu server running OpenVPN server?
[18:53] <shaneo> hey guys how do i configure my network to allow outside traffic to reach a local wordpress site using my public ip
[18:54] <yesko> Penguincsc, well, i just installed pptpd by "apt-get install pptpd" on my Ubuntu 12.4
[18:54] <Gushings> Hello, I wish to try switching my framebuffer to uvesafb, how would I go about doing this?
[18:54] <MonkeyDust> shaneo  with no-ip or with DynDNS
[18:54] <Penguincsc> yesko: on the server or client side?
[18:54] <shaneo> MonkeyDust, i dont understand
[18:55] <shaneo> MonkeyDust, making my public ip connectable
[18:55] <yesko> Penguincsc, I am actually looking for that. I installed kvpnc as you told
[18:55] <16SABAX9B> Hi, I'm on my desktop, and trying to ssh in with my laptop; how can I check  the public key on my desktop?
[18:55] <yesko> Penguincsc, I am actually looking for that. I installed kvpnc as you told and the network manager is wicd
[18:55] <shaneo> 16SABAX9B, nano ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub
[18:55] <Penguincsc> yesko: kvpnc is a a GUI for the client
[18:56] <cybersphinx> A question about Unity and Qt/KDE applications: When I run them from the launcher (or an xterm), they get their default Qt theme (and look out of place). But when I run them from gnome-terminal, the theme changes and they look much more like other applications. Is there a way to get them to look like that when run from anywhere?
[18:56] <shaneo> mangdood_, nano ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub
[18:56] <shaneo> from terminal
[18:56] <mangdood_> shaneo: that's only my public key for my desktop ssh client, isn't it? I haven't used the SSH client so I don't have that file
[18:57] <Penguincsc> yesko: try this: http://www.unixmen.com/setting-up-a-pptp-vpn-in-linux/
[18:57] <freckledp> It looks as if the 12.01 Thunderbird version does not have LDAP in it. Can someone else confirm? it's this package: 12.0.1+build1-0ubuntu<IP_ADDRESS>
[18:57] <shaneo> mangdood_, cd ~/.ssh and ls to see what files you do have
[18:58] <mangdood_> shaneo: I don't have an .ssh folder. I haven't used the client on my desktop
[18:58] <shaneo> so install ssh
[18:58] <mangdood_> shaneo: but that's not the problem... I want the keys for my ssh SERVER
[18:58] <_numbers> i installed an app that uses evdev to track keyboard keypresses and mouse clicks. currently it can't detect any activity. it seems like evdev is not working in latest ubuntu 12.04
[18:58] <Ztane> wtf? ubuntu is trying to "upgrade precise to oneiric" (sic)
[18:58] <xangua> !Info qt4-qtconf | cybersphinx
[18:58] <xangua> you can set them to use the current gtk there
[18:58] <shaneo> mangdood_, than you will need to ssh to your server and get them
[18:59] <mangdood_> shaneo: ...I'm on my desktop which is hosting the ssh server.
[19:00] <shaneo> mangdood_, than you will need to generate the keys
[19:00] <shaneo> mangdood_, ssh-keygen -t rsa
[19:00] <jrib> Ztane: what makes you say that?
[19:00] <xangua> !info qt4-qtconfig | cybersphinxsorry, this is
[19:00] <Pici> mangdood_: look in /etc/ssh/
[19:00] <shaneo> mangdood_, but it needs to be done in the .ssh folder
[19:01] <thomasd> This may sound like a vary stupid question But can users be logged in more than once?
[19:01] <Pici> shaneo: servers have their own set of ssh keys that are separate from their user's keys.
[19:01] <Gushings> yes thomasd
[19:01] <jrib> thomasd: sure
[19:01] <mangdood_> Pici: I'm looking at the folder now, and I'm trying to compare the key that my laptop client is receving and the one on my server. The one on the server isn't in the same format though
[19:01] <shaneo> Pici, oh that makes sense i was a little confused there for a sec
[19:01] <osmosis> id love to see solarized as a package I can just install,..gnome-terminal compatible too.  http://ethanschoonover.com/solarized
[19:01] <Ztane> jrib: dunno what happened on this computer (my parents' laptop) but the package manager said "this tool cannot be used to upgrade precise to oneiric" !?!!
[19:01] <sacarlson> thomasd: yes
[19:01] <jrib> !packaging | osmosis
[19:02] <Penguincsc> mangdood_: you mean /etc/ssh/ssh_host_dsa_key?
[19:02] <cybersphinx> xangua: Thanks, that mostly helps. Fonts are still different though.
[19:02] <thomasd> also how would I set up a system to automatically log a user in and run a command as that user?
[19:02] <mischa_> Hi, how do I view hidden folders in Ubuntu 11.10?
[19:02] <mangdood_> Penguincsc: I'm looking at the ecdsa key atm, since that's the one my client is displaying
[19:02] <jrib> mischa_: in what context?  Nautilus?
[19:02] <xangua> cybersphinx: you can also change the fonts with it
[19:02] <martijn__> http://www.acer.nl/ac/nl/NL/content/series/iconia is this notebook supported? The one of Acer with touchscreen? Thnx
[19:02] <xangua> mischa_: Control+H
[19:02] <jrib> Ztane: what did you do before getting that message?
[19:03] <Penguincsc> mangdood_: was that what you were looking for?
[19:03] <mischa_> jrib, viewing hidden folders in the file explorer, not quite sure of any names.
[19:03] <jrib> mischa_: ctrl-h or View → Show Hidden Files
[19:03] <m90087>  i use filezilla for ssh server
[19:03] <mangdood_> Penguincsc: yep, except the ecdsa key. I'm trying to get it into the format that the client is recieving so I can compare them though :X
[19:03] <Ztane> jrib: maybe I just try to reboot once more
[19:03] <thomasd> does everything in the init.d folder get called on boot?
[19:04] <jrib> thomasd: no
[19:04] <thomasd> jrib how would i set up my computer that it automaticly runs something.sh as someone user
[19:04] <mischa_> Thanks a lot, jrib! :-)
[19:04] <thomasd> on boot
[19:04] <jrib> thomasd: what does something.sh do?
[19:04] <Ztane> jrib: upgrade had crashed and I had to do dpkg --configure -a && apt-get install -f in single user mode
[19:05] <thomasd> jrib it's a basic server running on port 1337
[19:05] <Ztane> then installed 1000 packages :D
[19:05] <cybersphinx> xangua: Yeah, I guess so. But they get some good fonts when run from gnome-terminal, no way to make them just use those by default?
[19:05] <jrib> thomasd: I would just use @reboot in the user's crontab
[19:05] <Ztane> thomasd: i would write an upstart conf for it
[19:05] <Ztane> if it is supposed to be a service
[19:05] <thomasd> jrib What is a users crontab
[19:05] <jrib> !cron | thomasd
[19:06] <Penguincsc> mangdood_: this is what you are looking for: http://security.stackexchange.com/questions/14689/how-do-i-get-ssh-to-prompt-me-with-the-rsa-key-instead-of-the-ecdsa-key
[19:06] <xangua> cybersphinx: you mean the 'ubuntu' font¿ just set it in qt4-qtconfig
[19:06] <Ztane> thomasd: you want it to be always running ?
[19:06] <mangdood_> Well, I found it. ssh-keygen -lf /etc/ssh/ssh_host_ecdsa_key.pub
[19:06] <Penguincsc> mangdood_: cool
[19:07] <mangdood_> Penguincsc: yep, thanks, I just found the answer though
[19:07] <thomasd> Ztane: that's the idea
[19:07] <Ztane> thomasd: then forget cron, write an upstart conf file in /etc/init
[19:07] <Ztane> thomasd: if it is your computer to play with :D
[19:08] <thomasd> Ztane it's my virtual computer :()
[19:08] <mangdood_> One last question; What's the proper way of setting up the previous configuration on the system after upgrading? I still haven't upgraded my laptop to 12.04...
[19:08] <Ztane> but computer enough as in you have root access
[19:08] <thomasd> yes
[19:09] <thomasd> would i just go 'su - user' then execute the command?
[19:09] <jrib> thomasd: crontab would work as well.  If you decide to use upstart, make sure you read the upstart documentation on running jobs as different users
[19:09] <sc4rf4c3> hi i have a question: i want to install wine in backtrack 5R2(ubuntu based 64bits) and the "./configure" code gave me this "error: FreeType 32-bit development files not found. Fonts will not be built."
[19:09] <wawowe> mangdood_: it doesn't remove your configs when you upgrade so the proper way is to just keep things the way they are unlees there's an issue
[19:09] <Penguincsc> hey guys - I am looking for a way to hand out coupons to my customers. I need a unique code to prevent them from re-using the coupon, I was thinking of using UUID somehow. Any ideas?
[19:09] <Pici> sc4rf4c3: We do not support backtrack here. Please use their support channel at #backtrack-linux
[19:10] <xangua> sc4rf4c3: /join #backtrack-linux or try the wine channel
[19:10] <Ztane> jrib: disagree, crontab is not designed for starting services... also he would need to reboot the computer to just try it
[19:10] <Ztane> graah, now compiz is crashing on login
[19:10] <wawowe> sc4rf4c3: file the freetype-dev package
[19:10] <cybersphinx> xangua: I meant whatever font is set as default, so I don't need to change it in several places. But actually the font is changed, just the size still differs a bit. But I guess I can live with that. Thanks.
[19:10] <mangdood_> wawowe: Hm, usually I upgrade from liveCD though, and that seems to wipe my configs. What's the way to upgrade without LiveCD?
[19:11] <xangua> mangdood_: with the update manager
[19:11] <vfw> mangdood_: alternate cd
[19:11] <m90087> alternate
[19:11] <thomasd> jrib are all files in /etc/init executed with shell as root on boot?
[19:11] <Ztane> thomasd: no
[19:11] <wawowe> mangdood_: either change the sources list and apt-get dist-upgrade or do_dist_upgrade
[19:12] <wawowe> mangdood_: not sure about the do_dist_upgrade cmd cuz i don't have it
[19:12] <xangua> wawowe: is it you the guy that skips debian updates¿¿
[19:12] <Ztane> thomasd: they are configuration files for upstart... they contain sections that could be executed in shell
[19:12] <Pici> wawowe: NO. Do not suggest changing the sources and doing a dist-upgrade.  That WILL break your install.
[19:12] <wawowe> xangua: you remember me :p i don't skip updates no
[19:12] <wawowe> Pici: no it won't
[19:12] <thomasd> Ztane looks like crontab is my best bet
[19:13] <jrib> thomasd: read http://upstart.ubuntu.com/cookbook/ if you want to learn about writing upstart jobs
[19:13] <mangdood_> xangua, wawowe: ooo Thanks. Will I need to do anything special after that? (Will it need to reboot in order to  upgrade?)
[19:13] <wawowe> Pici: i upgraded to precise that way
[19:13] <Pici> wawowe: Then you took a big risk.
[19:13] <wawowe> Pici: many times i have
[19:13] <xangua> mangdood_: changing the release name in the sources list is a bad idea
[19:13] <xangua> wawowe: please stop suggesting that
[19:13] <Pici> wawowe: Just because it worked for you doesn't mean that it is the correct way to do it.
[19:13] <wawowe> xangua: no
[19:13] <mangdood_> xangua: I plan on doing it the easy way from update manager anyways :D
[19:13] <wawowe> Pici: it is the correct way
[19:14] <yesko> Penguincsc, pm please?
[19:14] <wawowe> Pici: normally have to upgrade apt and dpkg first but it is correct
[19:14] <Pici> wawowe: I asssure you, it is not. Nowhere in the ubuntu documentation does it say to do anything like that.
[19:14]  * Guest54795 slaps Catalina around a bit with a large trout
[19:14] <wawowe> Pici: ubuntu doc is dumbed down
[19:15] <m90087> my apparmor not working
[19:15] <Pici> wawowe: No, it explains the proper way to do your upgrades.  There are steps in the upgrade process that cannot be handled only by apt and dpkg.
[19:16] <wawowe> Pici: what are they?
[19:16] <Ztane> thomasd: upstart would take care of for example respawing your server process after it crashed. cron would do no such thing. It would try to start it once at boot, period.
[19:17] <m90087> sudo ufw enable
[19:17] <thomasd> Ztane: Well looks like i have a lot of reading to do
[19:18] <Raff> I have a problem, I've just installed ubuntu 12.04 from a usb stick, and now i can't boot, my mobo is Asus P9X79 deluxe, I've installed in a Corsair Force GT 3 Series 120 GB, in my mobo the Q-code says AE, it means Legacy Boot Event
[19:18] <this_is_a_un> How would I go about making the desktop switch screen show up when I touch the bottom right corner with mouse? (unity)
[19:18] <Raff> someone knows what  should I do
[19:18] <Ztane> thomasd: basic thing is quite simple however :D
[19:18] <Raff> ?
[19:18] <wawowe> Pici: i
[19:19] <wawowe> Pici: i'll agree that apt is kind of evil if something goes wrong, but dpkg can fix everything
[19:19] <thomasd> Ztane: yah i'll just get the basics down and not worry about the advanced stufs
[19:19] <Ztane> thomasd: read section <IP_ADDRESS>
[19:19] <Ztane> thomasd: and from there on
[19:20] <thomasd> tyvm
[19:20] <thomasd> man deamon
[19:20] <thomasd> oops :P
[19:20] <Ant__> ?
[19:20] <wawowe> Pici: then again neither of those are the easiest way in ubuntu
[19:20] <ThePendulum> this_is_a_un: You could try pressing the windows key + s when touching the bottom right corner with the cursor
[19:21] <this_is_a_un> ThePendulum, Wow... Let me rephrase this. Where are the scripts for unity located?
[19:21] <Pici> wawowe: Heres a configuration file that that update-manager/do-release-upgrade uses.  Just looking through it can give you an idea of what sort of extra tasks those tools do: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1016826/
[19:21] <EugeneComputerGe> Hi, Ant_ (who is in this room), has the right side of his panel missing...there is no log off options or notification area. How do you reset the gnome upper panel? (ubuntu 12.04 gnome classic)
[19:21] <ThePendulum> this_is_a_un: I'm sorry, hehe, I was trolling. 1 minute, I'll look it up
[19:21] <wawowe> mangdood_: do_release_upgrade* is the cmd
[19:22] <Ant__> yep
[19:23] <wawowe> Pici: doesn't give much of an idea
[19:23] <ThePendulum> this_is_a_un: http://askubuntu.com/questions/85822/show-desktop-workspaces-active-windows-by-hovering-the-mouse-to-any-corner-of-th
[19:23] <thomasd> Ztane It says that sometimes the process runs without a PID how is this possable?
[19:23] <ThePendulum> this_is_a_un: Is that what you're looking for?
[19:23] <wawowe> Pici: has fixes for certain packages
[19:23] <Ztane> thomasd: not the process, but the "upstart job"
[19:23] <wawowe> Pici: but otherwise it's a normal debian upgrade
[19:23] <xangua> this_is_a_un: you can edit mouse actions in the Expo plugin on compiz settings manager
[19:24] <this_is_a_un> ThePendulum: Yes, thank you :)
[19:24] <mangdood_> wawowe: I'm thinking that I'm just going to reinstall from LiveUSB since so many things are broken on that computer
[19:24] <Ant__> hmm
[19:24] <this_is_a_un> I was expecting to have to edit something, because I had to to get rid of it in gnome3 xD
[19:24] <wawowe> mangdood_: if everything is broken and you've got nothing to lose by resintalling than that's the easiest way to get there
[19:25] <Ztane> thomasd: yours would be a service job, with pid, and system job, maybe with setgid and setuid to set for the user you want to run the program under...
[19:26] <wawowe> mangdood_: if you have the option to not format, you can remove everything except your home and resinstall
[19:26] <wawowe> mangdood_: doubt the ubuntu installer has an easy option for that though
[19:26] <mangdood_> wawowe: what if my /home isn't on it's own partition
[19:27] <wawowe> mangdood_: as long as you don't format it won't matter
[19:27] <wawowe> mangdood_: just remove everything besides /home
[19:27] <mangdood_> wawowe: alright, I'll keep that in mind when I get around to reinstalling
[19:27] <wawowe> mangdood_: using a root term or whatever is available
[19:28] <Ztane> thomasd: this might be of interest http://geeknme.wordpress.com/2009/10/15/getting-started-with-upstart-in-ubuntu/ and so on
[19:28] <mangdood_> wawowe: hm, so, like, booting from liveCD/USB, and removing all the directories on that partition other than home?
[19:29] <wawowe> mangdood_: yes, as long as you have the option to not format during the install
[19:30] <mangdood_> wawowe: In the previous liveCDs, I've had that option, so I should be okay with not formatting
[19:30] <Ztane> thomasd: or this one http://blog.joshsoftware.com/2012/02/14/upstart-scripts-in-ubuntu/ the cookbook is almost too complete :D quite far from a cookbook really.
[19:30] <thomasd> Ztane are you done throwing loads of information at me :P
[19:31] <wawowe> mangdood_: also if you have an encrypted home you need to know the key
[19:31] <MaynardWaters> escott: in case you care what appareently happened was I had an SD card in the slot and during the kernel install it was trying to add a grup correction to that device, after removing the sd card everything appears to have updated correctly
[19:32] <escott> MaynardWaters, sorry, was on the phone
[19:32] <mangdood_> wawowe: It should be okay, right? as long as ecryptfs is installed, I should be able to use in my login passphrase
[19:32] <MaynardWaters> no worries, wasnt really something I expected anyone else to figure out, just happy it is fixed thanks for your time
[19:32] <wawowe> mangdood_: do you have an encrypted home directory?
[19:32] <this_is_a_un> I configured ibus for japanese input yesterday, and I can't seem to get it to start..
[19:33] <ojii> is there anything one can do when I get "Not Found" trying to install one of the Humble Indie Bundle games via USC?
[19:33] <leeping> Hi there, when I run a program like "meld" in a GNU screen window, I get the error "glib.GError: No D-BUS daemon running".  What is the problem?
[19:34] <designbybeck> Is it best to install Java through Software Center or go get it from Oracles site?
[19:34] <thomasd> Ztane: if your curious as to what i'm doing i'm writing a script to help working with headless virtualbox servers
[19:34] <fasta> Where do I get the non-free version of unzip?
[19:34] <escott> leeping, are you running as root? are you running lubuntu or xubuntu?
[19:34] <leeping> escott, I'm running normal ubuntu, not as root, but I am in a GNU screen session.  Outside the screen session, meld loads normally.
[19:35] <designbybeck> fasta: use 7Zip
[19:35] <escott> leeping, then the screen environment is dropping environment variables (in particular your DBUS socket variable) did you start the screen session outside of an xterm?
[19:35] <thomasd> man initctl
[19:35] <mangdood_> wawowe: yep. I'm pretty sure it should be okay though, since all the important stuff related to the encyption is in /home or can be gotten from the repos
[19:35] <fasta> designbybeck: p7zip-full?
[19:36] <leeping> escott, that is very reasonable.  I do have a script that sources the DISPLAY environment variable when I reattach the screen.  So I just need to add the DBUS socket variable to that script and it should work
[19:36] <leeping> can you tell me the names of the environment variables?
[19:36] <designbybeck> hmmm not sure on that one fasta
[19:36] <leeping> is it DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS?
[19:36] <escott> leeping, it will change every login/boot
[19:36] <leeping> escott, are you saying the name of the variable will change, or the value will change?
[19:36] <escott> leeping, you might want to create a script you can run in the xterm that will add the contents of the current env to the screen env
[19:37] <escott> leeping, the value will change
[19:37] <pepee> where can I make a petition for a package?
[19:37] <leeping> escott, that's what i plan on doing, as long as i know the name of the variable, i'll put it in the script
[19:37] <leeping> do you happen to know the name of the variable offhand?
[19:37] <escott> leeping, DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS should be all you need
[19:37] <leeping> escott, i'll try that
[19:37] <cybersphinx> How does Unity a) detect that an application is running, and b) restore fullscreen mode at startup? I have an application where both things don't work, it launches with the pinned launcher icon, but then isn't shown as active. Is there some programming guide or something to fix that?
[19:37] <alecbenzer> does anyone use any compiz plugins or something similar to get auto-tiling behavior with unity similar to a tiling wm, or anything of that sort?
[19:38] <jrib> alecbenzer: one solution is to use a tiling wm within unity
[19:38] <wawowe> mangdood_: the encryption key is somewhere and you'll need it
[19:38] <Knifa> Just came to say, tried to download Ubuntu Server (x64) there, and the automatic refresh to the ISO, as well as the link takes me to http://ubuntu.com/install.php rather than the ISO itself. Had to right click and go to Save Link As... to actually get the ISO. Someone should probably get around to deleting that file. :P
[19:38] <mangdood_> wawowe: It's in /home/.ecryptfs
[19:38] <leeping> Perfect, it works!! Thanks, escott
[19:39] <alecbenzer> jrib: how-to link? I've had difficulty getting that working (also I like ubuntu's general prettyful-ness, which is why I have trouble getting myself to run xmonad by itself)
[19:40] <jrib> alecbenzer: I don't know, I run xmonad by itself.  Have you checked xmonad's wiki?
[19:41] <wawowe> mangdood_: you should be able to get it with the wrapped-passphrase
[19:41] <wawowe> mangdood_: but just in case copy that entire directory outside of your home
[19:42] <alecbenzer> ah, yeah, there's a page on setting it up with unity 2d: http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/Xmonad/Using_xmonad_in_Unity_2D
[19:42] <wawowe> mangdood_: and yeah, as long as you have that installed it should work
[19:42] <kn100`> Every time I do an operating with APT it tries to install java - happening because I unsuccessfully tried to install it before
[19:42] <wawowe> mangdood_: but just as a failsafe
[19:43] <kn100`> i've got java working in other works
[19:43] <meera> hi, is there any other programm for ubuntu to use instead of cool edit pro for record sounds as waves?
[19:43] <kn100`> 1 not fully installed or removed. apt get reports
[19:43] <kn100`> meera, audacity
[19:44] <meera> tannxx
[19:48] <Ztane> thomasd: ok :D
[19:50] <this_is_a_un> I configured ibus for japanese input yesterday, but now, I can't seem to get ibus to show up in the notification bar.
[19:50] <this_is_a_un> I have tried allowing all in dconf
[19:51] <ubuntu__> hi all
[19:51] <trism> this_is_a_un: is ibus-daemon running? ps aux | grep ibus
[19:51] <wawowe> this_is_a_un: ibus-daemon -x -d
[19:53] <this_is_a_un> http://pastebin.com/UK8hX5qD
[19:54] <this_is_a_un> It works when i change the settings to a floating bar, but I think its ugly and it gets in the way of stuff
[19:54] <wawowe> this_is_a_un: kill -9 1515 1519 10310 && sleep 3 && ibus-daemon -x -d
[19:55] <wawowe> this_is_a_un: floating bar?
[19:56] <this_is_a_un> nvm. Anyways, now how would I get ibus to run at startup? thanks
[19:56] <wawowe> this_is_a_un: what windowmanager/desktop are you using
[19:56] <this_is_a_un> Unity
[19:57] <choppyfireballs> what bar is floating
[19:57] <wawowe> this_is_a_un: don't know sorry
[19:57] <wawowe> this_is_a_un: killall unity :p (don't really do that)
[19:58] <this_is_a_un> wawowe: o_o
[19:58] <trism> this_is_a_un: when you first run ibus-setup, it should set up a link at ~/.xinput/locale which will start the daemon when you login, but if that isn't setup, adding: ibus-daemon --xim; to startup applications works as well
[19:58] <sparr_L> My new laptop wouldn't sleep or hibernate (suspend to ram or disk, respectively) in ubuntu 12.04. I applied this fix and now sleep works but still no hibernate, how can I track down the next problem? http://thecodecentral.com/2011/01/18/fix-ubuntu-10-10-suspendhibernate-not-working-bug
[19:58] <Shirakawasuna> is there a way to get hardware-accelerated flash working on ubuntu w/ any browser? I miss streaming HD video on linux (have to use virtualbox, ugh)
[19:59] <trism> this_is_a_un: sorry that is ~/.xinput.d/locale (where locale is en_US or whatever your locale is)
[19:59] <this_is_a_un> ok, restarting.
[19:59] <trism> this_is_a_un: it points to /etc/X11/xinit/xinput.d/ibus
[19:59] <choppyfireballs> shirakawasuna I know that on my desktop hw accelerated streaming caused problems with flas streaming particularily in youtube, idk if it will cause the same problems here
[19:59] <choppyfireballs> in ubuntu
[20:00] <[snake]> Hello, I have ssh-server and client and was wondering if I could run the client through a proxy so that I can test the connection on the outside of my network from here.
[20:00] <Shirakawasuna> indeed, chokesmaster
[20:00] <OerHeks> Shirakawasuna, you can open any youtube-url in VLC
[20:01] <[snake]> OerHeks, neat, I didn't know that.
[20:01] <OerHeks> or VLC
[20:01] <dribblingmachine> help . How to give permissions to current user to edit files in /opt/lampp/htdocs
[20:02] <wawowe> [snake]: if you can proxy ssh?
[20:02] <maca> Hi to everyone. I followed from this page https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo, for configuring my iptables. With that, Is it suficient for a good security, or Would I to do more for best security???
[20:02] <[snake]> wawowe, yes I would like to know how, that is if I can.
[20:02] <dribblingmachine> help . How to give permissions to current user to edit files in /opt/lampp/htdocs
[20:02] <[snake]> dribblingmachine, you can change the permissions on /opt/lamp to you.
[20:02] <escott> maca, if you just want a firewall ufw would be easier to setup
[20:02] <choppyfireballs> dribble look to your left i pmed you
[20:02] <[snake]> and everything in it. maybe the htdocs
[20:03] <iHarp> I don't have user privileges to any other partitions or removable media. Any suggestions?
[20:03] <maca> no, I don't like ufw
[20:03] <escott> dribblingmachine, determine what group owns those files and "usermod -a -G thatgroup username"
[20:03] <maca> thanks, I prefer iptables
[20:03] <choppyfireballs> dribble do what escott said
[20:03] <dribblingmachine> escott: giving it a try
[20:03] <escott> iHarp, you cannot mount external drives? sudo usermod -a -G plugdev username
[20:04] <[snake]> I don't understand the concept of groups. perhaps I should figure that out before trying to answer someone else's question.
[20:04] <choppyfireballs> @snake lol
[20:04] <iHarp> Escott: I can mount I just can't manipulate anything. I didn't used to have this problem.
[20:04] <dribblingmachine> confused
[20:04] <wawowe> [snake]: http://www.mtu.net/~engstrom/ssh-proxy.php
[20:04] <escott> iHarp, what is the output of "mount"
[20:04] <maca> I wonder if the things that tought me from that web: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo, is ok for a good security, or I have to do something more...
[20:04] <[snake]> wawowe, thanks.
[20:05] <TimRiker> when a process dies from an apparmor failure, how/where do I debug that? mysql is failing to start at present.
[20:05] <dribblingmachine> can't use any editor to save the files
[20:05] <choppyfireballs> open the editor with sudo
[20:05] <choppyfireballs> sudo vi "filename"
[20:06] <escott> dribblingmachine, what are the permissions on the file?
[20:06] <dribblingmachine> though changed permissions using "chmod 755 /opt/lampp/htdocs/* -R" using root
[20:06] <guntbert> !tab | [snake] please use complete nicks
[20:06] <dribblingmachine> im not able to edit it
[20:06] <maca> For example, setting ports on forward class on iptables... may be... or it isn't necesary....
[20:06] <choppyfireballs> dribble: you need to open your text editor in sudo
[20:06] <[snake]> guntbert, I am using the tab key thankyou very much.
[20:06] <escott> dribblingmachine, you should be careful using chmod -R because 755 may make sense for a file but not for a folder
[20:06] <choppyfireballs> dribble: also try to use vi to change key things
[20:06] <escott> dribblingmachine, rather for a folder but not for a file
[20:07] <dribblingmachine> escott: then how to change for a entire folder
[20:07] <dribblingmachine> ??
[20:07] <guntbert> [snake]: I apologize - my eyes didn't connect to my brain obviously
[20:07] <osmosis> any help on getting solarized to work in gnome-terminal?
[20:07] <[snake]> guntbert, no problem.
[20:08] <iHarp> Escott:  It mounts successfully. but when I try to paste something into it it says  denied
[20:08] <tomasm-> hi, does ubuntu (latest version) support powerpc architectures? and if so, is it stable or are there any pitfalls?
[20:08] <mouse> I'm using xdotool to simulate key presses but when I press the hotkey there's a slight window change for an instant and the keypress isn't passed on to the active window when I press the hotkey.  Is there a way to put a slight delay in so that the keypress will be passed on to the active window?  Or does anyone know a better method?
[20:08] <escott> dribblingmachine, the first question is why do you need to change the folders permissions. you should have first changed the users group membership. but if you do have to use chmod it would be better to use the +/- syntax or use find to distinguish between files and folders
[20:08] <escott> iHarp, i want to see the output of mount
[20:08] <iHarp> gotcha one sec
[20:09] <dribblingmachine> escott: okay. maybe im going entirely wrong on this thing
[20:09] <dribblingmachine> escott: ty
[20:10] <dribblingmachine> escott: i'll change to group, don't know how . gonna try
[20:10] <iHarp> escott: It doesn't print anything. Just goes to the next username@Hostname input line
[20:10] <reisio> mouse: xdotool can probably use another param for that
[20:10] <escott> iHarp, "mount" prints out NOTHING?
[20:10] <reisio> mouse: I know xautomation has a place for a delay
[20:11] <reisio> tomasm-: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PowerPCFAQ
[20:11] <iHarp> escott: ok. one sec. Ill give you a pastebin
[20:12] <tomasm-> reisio, thanks
[20:12] <danny_> Hello
[20:12] <[snake]> danny_, hello!
[20:13] <danny_> [snake]: Hi snake
[20:13] <TimRiker> ahh. not an apparmor issue. 5.5.3 changes default-character-set to character-set-server .. /me hates arbitrary renaming
[20:13] <mouse> reisio, I've searched all through the man pages and there doesn't seem to be any entry for delays.  You know what I'm talking about right?  Where the window focus changes for a slight second during the program launch?
[20:13] <danny_> What would be the best way to make a startup script using this command "sudo echo OFF > /sys/kernel/debug/vgaswitcheroo/switch"
[20:13] <shurikrulik> hi men , pls help me i nstalled apache2 mysql php but php dont executes
[20:13] <[snake]> danny_, you already said a greeting! There's no need for another one. :P
[20:14] <maca> I have a doubt: If a program of windows was infected, and run on wine, it can affect to Linux??
[20:14] <danny_> [snake]: haha I thought you needed a special one
[20:14] <TimRiker> dannel, that won't do what you want
[20:14] <TimRiker> er danny_
[20:14] <dannel> TimeRider, I am sorry for suggesting it :(
[20:14] <[snake]> TimRiker, what if you don't know what he wants.
[20:14] <[snake]> :P
[20:14] <iHarp> Escott: did you get my link?
[20:15] <TimRiker> danny_, "sudo echo OFF > /sys/kernel/debug/vgaswitcheroo/switch" will echo OFF as root, but try to redirect output as the current user.
[20:15] <danny_> TimRiker: It does what I want, i want to shut off my ATI card
[20:15] <[snake]> danny_, perhaps doing it as root is not the best idea.
[20:15] <escott> maca, it is possible to make viruses run in wine, and they can do everything that the unix permissions would allow them to do. so they could access your files and perhaps send them to some remote server, but since they don't understand unix and wont realize they are running in wine the damage should be minimal as they will only read the wine fake folders
[20:15] <TimRiker> danny_, I'd suggest "echo OFF|sudo dd of=/sys/kernel/debug/vgaswitcheroo/switch" instead
[20:15] <danny_> [snake]: that makes perfect sense, well I am new to Linux
[20:16] <escott> iHarp, generally best to put things in channel instead of pm'ing so that others can look at them
[20:16] <iHarp> gotcha
[20:16] <ramtest> hi
[20:16] <escott> iHarp, /media/Backup Resources is the problem?
[20:16] <nyuszika7h> Anyone else experiencing this problem?
[20:16] <nyuszika7h> W: Failed to fetch http://hu.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/f/filelight/filelight_4.8.2-0ubuntu2_amd64.deb
[20:16] <nyuszika7h>   403  Forbidden
[20:16] <maca> Thanks, escott
[20:16] <danny_> TimRiker: Would making this a .exe and running it at boot work with the command you told me?
[20:16] <[snake]> danny_, ok, that's fine, do what TimRiker said. I think gnome comes with a Startup Applications program. Try entering the command there.
[20:16] <reisio> mouse: uhhhh maybe?
[20:17] <Dayofswords> I have a question, does anyone know where firefox defualt config are stored for new users, like a file i can edit to change the home page for new users's firefox
[20:17] <guntbert> nyuszika7h: what happens if you use a different server?
[20:17] <danny_> [snake]: perfect let me try it and reboot
[20:17] <nyuszika7h> guntbert: And how would I do that?
[20:17] <reisio> mouse: man xdotool, /sleep
[20:17] <guntbert> nyuszika7h: GUI or CLI?
[20:17] <reisio> Dayofswords: dpkg -L firefox
[20:18] <TimRiker> danny_, /etc/rc.local might be a better place for it. that already runs as root so just a line with "echo OFF > /sys/kernel/debug/vgaswitcheroo/switch"
[20:18] <nyuszika7h> guntbert: I installed from Synaptic, but CLI works for me, too
[20:18] <maca> I'm not very sure, I think that the configuration of firefox are in your ./home directory, the config file. I don't know
[20:18] <iHarp> Escott: That is my Windows backup resources. What should I do with it to fix my little problem?
[20:18] <escott> iHarp, i think all you need to do is "sudo apt-get install ntfs-3g" and then umount/mount that folder
[20:18] <danny_> TimRiker: All I would do is put that command line right above exit 0 and it should work?
[20:18] <ramtest> i've got many line like this "*BAD*gran_size: 4M  chunk_size: 256M        num_reg: 8      lose cover RAM: -64M" in my syslog. What is that? I think it has something to do with the RAM but i tested the ram creating a ramdisk and filling it with files and sha256sum them to check and ram seems working good. So what does those "*BAD*gran_size" lines mean ?
[20:18] <iHarp> ok. on it. thnx
[20:19] <TimRiker> danny_, should do, yes.
[20:20] <guntbert> nyuszika7h: in synaptic, select settings/software sources, there select a different server to "download from", don't forget to refresh afterwards
[20:23] <Anthony> hello i need help i have gnomeclassic the gnome-panel  is not showing up right corner
[20:23] <TimRiker> ramtest, google shows potential mtrr issues. I'm not sure what the fix would be though.
[20:23] <iHarp> escott: Also, now when I plug in my thumb drive, it doesn't show up in my short cuts to media. However, it does show up in Gparted --  and can be manipulated.
[20:23] <Anthony> ubuntu 12.4
[20:23] <nyuszika7h> guntbert: Thanks very much :) Switching to main server solved the issue.
[20:24] <escott> iHarp, did you put any entries in /etc/fstab?
[20:24] <TimRiker> Anthony, no panel at all? or just the menu missing from the panel?
[20:24] <[snake]> Anthony, you mean like GNOME 3 Fallback mode, or MATE desktop?
[20:24] <japro> yay, ubuntu install disk just instantly kernel panics
[20:24] <Anthony> i have the applications places to right everthing to left gone
[20:24] <[snake]> japro, that's good.
[20:24] <iHarp> escott: Not that I'm aware of
[20:24] <Anthony> gnomeclassic
[20:24] <japro> unable to mount root fs on uknown-block(0,0)
[20:24] <escott> iHarp, then run "udisks --mount /dev/sda1"
[20:25] <escott> japro, cd or usb?
[20:25] <TimRiker> [snake], I presume he means gnome-session-fallback
[20:25] <guntbert> nyuszika7h: you're welcome :-) , you might want to use one closer to your location, if  you are in hu you could try ubuntu.inode.at too - near and fast :-)
[20:25] <Anthony> i guess.
[20:25] <ramtest> TimRiker: thanks. Do you thinks this is a dangerous error?

[20:25] <danny_> TimRiker: Thank you very much that worked perfectly
[20:25] <japro> escott, cd
[20:25] <Anthony> i just know my start shut down battery allis gone :)
[20:25] <escott> japro, have you checked the md5sum?
[20:25] <TimRiker> ramtest, sry, dunno
[20:26] <[snake]> Anthony, if you don't know what MATE desktop is then it's what TimRiker said, do you know what MATE desktop is?
[20:26] <japro> hmm, no will try
[20:26] <Anthony> nope
[20:26] <Anthony> ubuntu 12.4lts
[20:26] <[snake]> !who | anthony
[20:26] <danny_> I'm using cinnamon :D
[20:26] <escott> iHarp, i wonder what you might have done to inhibit udisks. you might try rebooting so that it will restart udisksd
[20:26] <Anthony> is linux i dont know anything else friend told me come in here
[20:27] <iHarp> escott, it's a recent deal. was working fine earlier. I'll try the restart
[20:27] <myhero> how to download driver and save it locally ?
[20:27] <japro> escott, uhm, where do i find the checksum reference?
[20:27] <danny_> Has anyone been able to get IDT High Definition Audio to work?

[20:27] <pavel__> hi all
[20:27] <h44l> is there a chatroom where i can ask a question about buying a device that connects to a TV? im trying to decide on a device that switches between DVD palyers and other things connected to a TV
[20:28] <DasEi> japro: on the ubuntu mirrors
[20:28] <[snake]> pavel_, salutations.
[20:28] <escott> !checksum | japro
[20:28] <GorDo> Whould anyone like to walkthrough me  with partitioning my HDD, im installing 12.04 with CD. And i want to partition my 500GB hdd into two partitions. One for ubuntu, and the other just for files as a storage. pm?
[20:28] <escott> !checksums | japro
[20:28] <escott> one of these is supposed to have a link to the actual sums
[20:28] <TimRiker> Anthony, I installed indicator-applet-complete and then added that to my panel
[20:28] <japro> yup found it thx
[20:28] <danny_> GorDo are you going to partition it using Windows 7?
[20:28] <DasEi> GorDo: go ahead
[20:29] <escott> !hashes | japro finally
[20:29] <Anthony> ty tim will check it
[20:29] <GorDo> no using ubuntu
[20:29] <Galvatron> GorDo: Use Gparted LiveCD/LiveUSB
[20:29] <ananya_> Hello, I am installing inkscape in Debian and encounter inconsistencies. The recommended solution is at http://pastebin.com/KZg9hgSV.  Can someone tell me if this recommended solution is a good one?
[20:29] <rodd> anyone with 12.04 and latest updates that uses netbeans is able to run it without constant crashes?
[20:29] <Galvatron> GorDo:: The partitioning tool in Ubuntu installer also is Gparted, but with a horrible interface.
[20:29] <myhero> how to download driver and not only just install it but save it locally also so that if needed it can be used to install again locally or install on other machine ?
[20:30] <GorDo> im doing it through the installer
[20:30] <DasEi> GorDo: if you use the alternate installer, it let's you have finer grained possibilities, though such setup can be done with gparted from desktop-cd either
[20:30] <escott> Galvatron, you can get normal gparted if you just select "try ubuntu" instead of "install ubuntu"
[20:30] <reisio> myhero: they're all saved locally unless you clean them out
[20:30] <myhero> reisio: how to make their backup ?
[20:30] <Galvatron> escott: Is it installed by default in 12.04?
[20:30] <DasEi> escott: gord.. ?!
[20:30] <reisio> myhero: ls /var/cache/apt/archives/
[20:30] <escott> Galvatron, its not installed but its on the livecd
[20:31] <DasEi> ah, no, sorry, escott
[20:31] <myhero> reisio: i wanna download broadcom sta wi-fi linux driver and make its backuo also so that i can use it and install again when needed...!!!
[20:31] <Galvatron> GorDo: CAUTION! Gparted DOESN'T ask to confirm a partition deleting, co be careful when oparating on a non-empty HDD
[20:32] <reisio> myhero: naturally
[20:32] <DasEi> GorDo: if you give me  a minute, I'll fire up a live in my vm, so can assist you simultanously, just few minutes
[20:32] <GorDo> Galvatron, my hdd is empty anyway atm
[20:33] <GorDo> DasEi, that would be perfect
[20:33] <harperx> escott: That fixed the missing thumbdrive. thanks
[20:33] <GorDo> im just booting up my cd now aswell
[20:33] <DasEi> GorDo: second then
[20:33] <harperx> escott: going to try and see about those privileges now.
[20:35] <grillermo> /msg NickServ identify qwe123
[20:35] <Harris> scaahas anyone read little brother
[20:35] <myhero> reisio: any other method to download store locally and make backup
[20:35] <myhero> ?///
[20:35] <japro> wow. that is the second time i get a damaged iso
[20:36] <reisio> myhero: you could download things manually, I guess, if you like wasting your own time
[20:36] <reisio> japro: as in doesn't match checksum?
[20:36] <japro> yes
[20:36] <harperx> escott: I still can't paste to my thumb drive. or anything else for that matter.
[20:36] <japro> downloading a third time
[20:36] <escott> harperx, what is the /dev/sda1 line of "mount"
[20:36] <DasEi> japro: use a torrent, it auto re-checks
[20:36] <guntbert> japro: use a torrent
[20:37] <guntbert> DasEi: :)
[20:37] <Harris> has anybody read little brother
[20:37] <DasEi> hehe
[20:37] <escott> japro, is the checksum failure the downloaded iso or the burned on?
[20:37] <myhero> reisio: i dont like wasting my time  but i m running live usb and i dont wanna download that driver evertime...
[20:37] <OerHeks> !offline | myhero
[20:37] <japro> escott, downloaded
[20:37] <DasEi> GorDo: 2 min for d/l finishing
[20:38] <guntbert> !ot | Harris
[20:38] <reisio> myhero: right, so copy it to the live image
[20:38] <Harris> well in the book winston makes another password for his user account and the second password opens half of the other
[20:38] <Galvatron> GorDo: Regarding space, more than 8-10GB ext4 for the system itself is a complete waste, as it doesn't usually take more than 3-4GB. You don't need SWAP (linux-swap), unless you have less than 1280MB of RAM, and/or plan to hibernation.
[20:38] <harperx> thumb is on sdd2
[20:38] <Harris> how do i do that
[20:38] <GorDo> DasEi, no problemo
[20:38] <myhero> reisio: u mean altering live image...how ?
[20:38] <escott> harperx, ok then the sdd2 line of mount
[20:38] <mohammad> salam
[20:38] <mohammad> heloo
[20:39] <harperx> just checking.. :p
[20:39] <MonkeyDust> Harris  start with the basics, get used to the system, then try the fancy things
[20:39] <Harris> MonkeyDust,  i am used to the system
[20:39] <OerHeks> Harris still working on a secret account ?
[20:39] <reisio> myhero: if you use a USB stick, you can just copy extra crap on
[20:39] <Harris> yes OerHeks
[20:40] <harperx> escott,  http://pastebin.com/beTySXkv
[20:40] <DasEi> GorDo: booting ..
[20:40] <escott> harperx, you cannot write to hfs+ unless you disable journaling
[20:40] <Harris> OerHeks,  i just need to have another password that opens half of my other password
[20:41] <DasEi> GorDo: up, I booted to the live desktop
[20:42] <GorDo> DasEi, sorry i might take another fiew minutes, need to reburn my cd. Sorry about tht
[20:42] <[snake]> Does anyone in here write in C?
[20:42] <DasEi> GorDo: did you boot the installer or the live desktopop?
[20:42] <[snake]> Should be a lot, linux channel :P
[20:42] <DasEi> GorDo: have an usb stick handy ?
[20:42] <DasEi> [snake]: #bash
[20:43] <MonkeyDust> Harris  how is that ubuntu related?
[20:43] <Guest61472> kasi farsi baladeee??
[20:43] <[snake]> DasEi, I meant because Linux was written in C but not everyone is developing it I suppose :/
[20:43] <DasEi> Harris: looking for a password tool ?
[20:44] <Harris> how do i hide one user from the login screen
[20:44] <MonkeyDust> !farsi| Guest61472
[20:44] <Guest61472> ee
[20:44] <DasEi> [snake]: not just c, but basic scripting comes by time, simple questions are sure to be answered here, else #bash
[20:44] <Aster> Hi./
[20:44] <japro> [snake], you man as in "is able to" or "does it regularily" i can do C but i havent felt the need to use it instead of C++ for years now
[20:45] <GorDo> DasEi, no usb with my atm. reburn should take just a fiew min
[20:45] <harperx> escott, changed to fat32 unmounted --  remounted-- still no privileges
[20:45] <DasEi> GorDo: sure, put my nick when up
[20:45] <[snake]> japro, can you explain what #typedef (not a channel) means?
[20:45] <Harris>  how do i hide one user from the login screen
[20:45] <escott> harperx, changed? you mean you reformated the partition?
[20:45] <Guest61472> چرا انگیلسی حرف می زنید؟؟
[20:45] <harperx> reformatted the thum to Fat32
[20:45] <harperx> thumb*
[20:45] <[snake]> DasEi, I actually just realized you were telling me to go to that channel sorry lol.
[20:45] <escott> harperx, ok and what is the relevant line of "mount" now
[20:45] <japro> with a # in front of it it should result in a error from the preprocessor
[20:46] <reisio> Harris: not entirely sure lightdm supports that out of the box yet
[20:46] <DasEi> [snake]: nvm
[20:46] <japro> typedef does essentially create a type alias
[20:46] <[snake]> japro, oh... then just typedef haha
[20:46] <Harris> what is lightdm
[20:46] <escott> !farsi | Guest61472
[20:46] <DasEi> [snake]: #  is a comment, no command/expression, ignored by the compiler
[20:46] <maca> On Nautilus, on menu, there are a option: view hidden files. Someone knows how to acces the code to put in that line as a comment (#), in /etc/ ?
[20:46] <reisio> Harris: the display (or login) manager
[20:46] <[snake]> DasEi, just next time instead of saying only "#bash" like you did initially you should use a full sentence.
[20:46] <harperx> escott, it still reads hfsplus, but it is definately fat32
[20:46] <japro> so "typedef int myint;" makes myint a usable type that is an alias for int essentially
[20:47] <Harris> ok
[20:47] <escott> harperx, how did you reformat it?
[20:47] <japro> DasEi, not in C/C++
[20:47] <[snake]> DasEi, no, comments in C are /* comment here */
[20:47] <DasEi> [snake]: #  is a comment, no command/expression, ignored by the compiler (in a script) (in irc a channelname)
[20:47] <harperx> escott, through Gparted.
[20:47] <harperx> escott, I finalized the action as well
[20:47] <[snake]> DasEi, I know now lol, it was just a misunderstanding from your initial message.
[20:48] <escott> harperx, and how did you umount? and mount?
[20:48] <DasEi> funny mixup, yes, [snake]
[20:48] <japro> woohooo finally got a fine image with the third download
[20:48] <OerHeks> Harris, hiding a user is not possible, this bug > https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lightdm/+bug/857651  from the askubuntu howto http://askubuntu.com/questions/92349/how-do-i-hide-a-particular-user-from-the-login-screen
[20:49] <DasEi> japro: you can save a disc by using usb install
[20:49] <OerHeks> Harris, so wait for the bugfix
[20:49] <[snake]> japro, so, instead of long double, if I typedef it with ldouble then I can use it sort of how #define replaces bits when you use the term you defined.
[20:49] <harperx> escott: by right clicking the volume. it said successfully unmounted.. then reversed the process. However.. looking at it now.. "mount" gives the volume the title sdd2 and Gparted says sda1
[20:49] <japro> DasEi, i happen to have a stack of cds lying around that i'm never using anyway... :D
[20:50] <japro> but no usb drive i want to wipe atm
[20:50] <DasEi> kk
[20:50] <escott> harperx, those are different devices. if you've been reformatting sda1 then you have been reformatting a partition on your hard disk not the usb
[20:50] <Aster> So, I'm having a mouse pointer problem. When I click on the icon on the top right (to access the menu), or when I click on the sound icon, everything disappears. The system menu/icon only stays at long as I am holding the mouse button, and when I try to mark a program as executable, the checkbox only stays checked for about a second.
[20:51] <Aster> Ubuntu 11.10
[20:51] <japro> [snake], kinda, except typedef is "better" in the sense that it is not a preprocessor thing
[20:51] <teskew> is there any way to run a command through dash alt+F2 that will run inside of a terminal window..for instance.  alt+f2 and then sudo apt-get install foo  ?  instead of firing up a terminal window and then typing it?
[20:51] <[snake]> japro, OKAY I see... thanks
[20:51] <Beatstreet> zanberdo - you lurking?
[20:52] <[snake]> Aster, what bits are you using? 32 bit or 64 bit?
[20:52] <zykotick9> Aster: re: executable checkbox - if the file is on FAT or NTFS you can't use POSIX permissions on it
[20:52] <harperx> escott, I'm not seeing sda1 in "mount" let me try reset && Clear. going to make sure I'm not missing it
[20:53] <Aster> [snake], 64
[20:53] <escott> harperx, i think you are just confused and have been repartitioning the wrong disk
[20:53] <Aster> zykotick9, that might explain, how to I execute the file then?
[20:53] <Yago_> hi
[20:53] <zykotick9> Aster: ? that's for someone else to help you with.
[20:53] <[snake]> Aster, I had problems with 64 bit with anything above 10.10 as well... so I gave up and I'm using 10.04
[20:54] <Harris> OerHeks, pm
[20:54] <DasEi> teskew: example_command&  ,or:
[20:54] <OerHeks> Harris please keep Questions in this channel, thank you.
[20:54] <DasEi> !info screen
[20:54] <escott> Aster, if you want to execute files on ntfs you would need to change your /etc/fstab to remove noexec (which is implied by users) and to change the default permissions to 755 instead of 644
[20:54] <[snake]> zykotick9, gee, a simple idk could've been more appropriate.
[20:54] <Harris> OerHeks,  it is the Same question but the flood bot will mute me
[20:54] <harperx> escott, I didn't I have to select on two different windows. one for the thumb and one for the partition on the hard drive. I accidentally gave you sdd2 because in all of this I was reformatting my my windows partition.. both named ?Untitled".
[20:55] <Harris> just look this once
[20:55] <DasEi> teskew: the former will put the command in background
[20:55] <Harris> this is from the book
 "The password," I said, finally understanding what she wanted of me. She wanted me to say it out loud, here,
 where she could record it, where her pals could hear it. She didn't want me to just unlock the phone. She
 wanted me to submit to her. To put her in charge of me. To give up every secret, all my privacy. "The
 password," I said again, and then I told her the password. God help me, I submitted to her will.
[20:55] <FloodBot1> Harris: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
 She smiled a little prim smile, which had to be her ice-queen equivalent of a touchdown dance, and the guards
[20:55] <harperx> escott, I can confirm i reformatted the thumb to fat32. and that it is not showing up in "mount"
[20:55] <zykotick9> [snake]: i know, i just don't help with MS issues.  so my reply was correct.
[20:55] <xbb> Hello. Has anybody been successful adding external merge tool like meld to subversion? I followed different suggestions but still getting dreaded "The external merge tool exited with exit code 255" error
[20:55] <escott> harperx, then what is the "mount" line for the thumb drive?
[20:56] <Aster> escott, how do I do that?
[20:56] <escott> !fstab | Aster
[20:56] <[snake]> zykotick9, is he asking about an MS issue or did you assume he was?
[20:56] <Harris> OerHeks,  i posted above
[20:56] <zykotick9> [snake]: i has FAT/NTFS explained it - so it's an MS issue (in my opinion).
[20:56] <DasEi> teskew: what exactly you want to achive ? also can write to /dev/nul or simply turn the the echo off
[20:56] <harperx> escott, what is the command for the thumbs "mount"?
[20:56] <escott> harperx, yes
[20:57] <[snake]> zykotick9, you're difficult. his question doesn't say anythin about fat...
[20:57] <LinuX2half> Hihhhi
[20:57] <[snake]> Aster, the guy that answered assumed you were running an executable from a FAT or NTFS sysmte. if you can access a terminal do chmod +x /path/to/file/filename
[20:57] <LinuX2half> Rhythmbox is unable to display the correct character encoding. what should I do?
[20:57] <harperx> mount ?
[20:57] <zykotick9> !coc > [snake]
[20:58] <Harris> escott, pm
[20:58] <[snake]> zykotick9, I'm sorry.
[20:58] <LinuX2half> It can display correct Korean characters but not anything other languages.
[20:58] <harperx> escott, Is the command different for the thumb drive? I'm only typing "mount"
[20:59] <juniour> hi
[20:59] <escott> harperx, "mount" lists all mounted devices, mountpoints, filesystem types, and options
[20:59] <DasEi> harperx: no, but maybe thumb isn't mounted then ?!
[20:59] <Yago> Hello, can osmeone help me?
[20:59] <Aster> [snake], but the file is on another hard drive.
[21:00] <xangua> !ask | Yago
[21:00] <DasEi> harperx: sudo fdisk -l , /dev/sdb1 prbly, if only one internal HD
[21:00] <Yago> !patience
[21:00] <[snake]> Aster, that would've been valuable information to provide in the question. Is the hdd that you're file is on using NTFS or FAT?
[21:00] <Yago> thank-you
[21:00] <Yago> ok
[21:00] <escott> DasEi, i'm not even sure harperx is clear one what device his thumb drive is
[21:00] <harperx> I am
[21:01] <Yago> my questions is: Can anyone help me with a problem I've been having opening .jar files
[21:01] <Aster> [snake], it's NTFS, and on another hard drive than my Linux installation.
[21:01] <DasEi> harperx: if so : sudo mkdir /media/usb && sudo mount /dev/sdb1  /media/usb && cd /media/usb &&  ls
[21:01] <Aster> Ubuntu installation*
[21:01] <[snake]> zykotick9, How did you know!!
[21:02] <reisio> Yago: no not anyone, but some persons, certainly
[21:02] <DasEi> !java | Yago
[21:02] <harperx> DasEi: I changed the sdb1 to sda1 and I got :      mkdir: cannot create directory `/media/usb': File exists
[21:02] <harris_> OerHeks, how do i do what he did
[21:02] <DasEi> Yago: java -jar filename.jar
[21:03] <Yago> DasEi: I know about all of that
[21:03] <harperx> your info gave me: mount: special device /dev/sdb1 does not exist
[21:03] <Brustofski-Fan> apt-get purge package-name .. uninstalls everything the package installed right?
[21:03] <Aster> [snake], any idea?
[21:03] <Yago> but is there a way just to double click it?
[21:03] <DasEi> harperx: sure usb is sda1 ? well use any other dirname then
[21:03] <Yago> DOuble clikc a jar, or open with....
[21:03] <DasEi> harperx: if so : sudo mkdir /media/usb1 && sudo mount /dev/sdb1  /media/usb1 && cd /media/usb1 &&  ls
[21:03] <iToast> hey...

[21:05] <juniour> how to use compiz in ubuntu 12.04
[21:05] <harperx> DasEi: I think I might know what the prob is now.. Root is the owner somehow..
[21:05] <xangua> juniour: if you use unity you already are using compiz
[21:05] <GorDo> DasEi, im up and runing now, so whenever ur ready :)
[21:05] <Cerrdor> when I ssh into my server I use ssh -l username and then after it logs in I have to put in my password how can I put the password in the command line? After the username?
[21:05] <Brustofski-Fan> rzyz, it asked in a normal install to
