[11:37] <BluesKaj> Hiyas all
[11:37] <einartryggvi> hi how you doin?
[11:38] <gustav___> Is there an easy way of setting up a VPN between a 12.04 server and a 12.10 client? I'm reading a page on help.ubuntu.com but it sets up routes and stuff. Do I really want that?
[11:38] <einartryggvi> OpenVPN
[11:38] <gustav___> I'm not sure about what I would be doing, security-wise.
[11:38] <einartryggvi> :q
[11:39] <gustav___> I don't want a permanent VPN.
[11:39] <gustav___> I'll go with a http proxy.
[11:39] <gustav___> Bring out the squid!
[11:43] <gustav___> WTF? Why do I get different IP's on whatsmyip.org when I go there in links?
[11:45] <ActionParsnip> gustav___: without routes, the vpn is useless
[11:45] <ActionParsnip> gustav___: as you won't be shaping your traffic to use the link
[11:45] <gustav___> ActionParsnip: Can't I start Firefox as client on that IP?
[11:45] <gustav___> But seriously. I'm not getting my real IP on whatsmyip.org.
[11:46] <gustav___> I'm getting lots of other addresses.
[11:46] <gustav___> It usually works.
[11:46] <ActionParsnip> gustav___: if you just want web browsing, why not use an ssh tunnel to squid on the other box?
[11:46] <gustav___> Is links package hacked?
[11:46] <ActionParsnip> gustav___: i use http://ipchicken.com
[11:47] <gustav___> Who is <IP_ADDRESS>?
[11:47] <gustav___> ActionParsnip: Ok, that was correct.
[11:47] <DogLover> I am setting up a RAID and just installed mdadm. During the install it gives me a 'Postfix Configuration' screen with a bunch of options about a mail server??? What in the world!!!
[11:47] <gustav___> Probably whatsmyip.org is doing bad things.
[11:48] <gustav___> ActionParsnip: I'm not using ssh... to much manual work setting it up every time.
[11:49] <DogLover> Which option should I choose for a RAID?
[11:49] <ActionParsnip> DogLover: depends what raid level you want
[11:49] <qdb> hello. i have installed ubuntu 12 04 and i see scrolling of pages in firefox is not smooth.then i installed  nvidia 173 , ( fx 5200 ) , does not help. i have entered ubuntu, not ubuntu 2d
[11:49] <DogLover> I am planning on a RAID 5.
[11:49] <ActionParsnip> qdb: is it ok in the 2D session?
[11:49] <qdb> ActionParsnip, i ll try
[11:50] <ActionParsnip> !raid | DogLover may help
[11:50] <gustav___> LOL. This will screw up Google. I hope.
[11:51] <DogLover> Ok, but which option should I pick for the postfix config?
[11:52] <ActionParsnip> gustav___: in what way?
[11:52] <ActionParsnip> DogLover: postfix is for email servers....
[11:52] <DogLover> Then i should choose no config.
[11:52] <gustav___> ActionParsnip: Ads via Google on local IP, content on proxy IP.
[11:52] <gustav___> Everything is in NL. That's strange.
[11:52] <ActionParsnip> gustav___: are the ads that offensive?
[11:52] <qdb> ActionParsnip, it looks/seems more smooth in 2d
[11:52] <gustav___> They are now.
[11:53] <ActionParsnip> gustav___: i see, i dont use google much these days, the bubble is annoying beyond comprehension
[11:53] <gustav___> ActionParsnip: What bubble?
[11:53] <ActionParsnip> qdb: I'd use that, seems to suit your hardware better
[11:53] <ActionParsnip> gustav___: your google bubble.....
[11:53] <gustav___> ActionParsnip: ?
[11:53] <qdb> ActionParsnip, thank you
[11:53] <ActionParsnip> oh man
[11:53] <gustav___> ActionParsnip: Google+?
[11:54] <gustav___> Does this work for you http://dsc.discovery.com/tv-shows/backyard-oil/video/kentucky-fried-church.htm ?
[11:54] <ActionParsnip> gustav___: http://dontbubble.us/
[11:54] <DogLover> Here is a screen shot of the window: http://www.pasteall.org/pic/51213
[11:54] <gustav___> ActionParsnip: Ah.
[11:55] <ActionParsnip> gustav___: google filters your results based on past searches, so 2 people could search the same thing and get different results, which makes no sense at all
[11:55] <gustav___> ActionParsnip: Re-prioritizing.
[11:55] <gustav___> True, it's annoying.
[11:55] <ActionParsnip> gustav___: I think it sucks, it does have advantages but I find it stinks. Especially searching for stuff fo work (Windows) when my bubble is a lot of Ubuntu and Linux
[11:55] <gustav___> I want an INTERNET search. x)
[11:56] <ActionParsnip> gustav___: www.duckduckgo.com
[11:56] <ActionParsnip> no bubble
[11:56] <gustav___> ActionParsnip: That's the duckduckgo bubble.
[11:56] <ActionParsnip> gustav___: no bubble there, you just get the results
[11:56] <gustav___> ActionParsnip: "Just" get the results? x)
[11:57] <DogLover> Which one should I choose? http://www.pasteall.org/pic/51213
[11:57] <ActionParsnip> DogLover: did you select to install a mail server?
[11:58] <ActionParsnip> DogLover: I'd go for local only if you have to choose one
[11:58] <DogLover> no.
[11:59] <ActionParsnip> gustav___: yes, no filter or subject lean, just the pure results as they are found. It can also search other things with bang syntax, like:   !ppa firefox     will change the site to launchpad and seach the PPAs :). Super handy
[11:59] <DogLover> I was thinking No Config, since I don't want to configure a mail server!!!
[11:59] <Ben66> DogLover: yeah the last thing you'd want is to become an open relay and have millions of spam messages forwarded through you
[11:59] <adrianrh> hi, just a quick Q, what is a simple way to get system beep from bash in ubuntu? tried to find it for 25 min now
[12:00] <gustav___> ActionParsnip: You programmers created that site and Google?
[12:00] <gustav___> +know
[12:00] <LFS> while trying to to install libavcodec-extra-53 it asked me to uninstall libavcodec-53, I'm wondering if I should that or how to get the latest libavcodec
[12:00] <ActionParsnip> gustav___: I'm not a programmer
[12:00] <gustav___> ActionParsnip: They are.
[12:00] <gustav___> Damnit Discovery. Work. :C
[12:00] <ActionParsnip> gustav___: its still without bubble, which is handy. I use both but google search is used less and les on my systems
[12:01] <Ben66> what do search engines have to do with ubuntu support?
[12:01] <janisozaur> !beep | adrianrh
[12:01] <gustav___> ActionParsnip: Now, it's still in a bubble. Do you live in a bubble? :)
[12:01] <mongol> hello
[12:01] <ActionParsnip> :)
[12:01] <ActionParsnip> hi mongol
[12:01] <janisozaur> adrianrh, i think beeper is disabled be default
[12:02] <adrianrh> bash: !beep: event not found
[12:02] <janisozaur> adrianrh, when you enable it, you should be able to use "echo \b", "beep", "watch --beep"
[12:02] <adrianrh> do you know how I enable it?
[12:04] <adrianrh> (tried enabling it in systemsettings >sound)
[12:04] <janisozaur> adrianrh, http://superuser.com/questions/22767/enable-system-beep-in-ubuntu
[12:05] <adrianrh> thanks, I will try to follwo this link janizozaur
[12:05] <ActionParsnip> isnt it just the pcspkr module that needs loading?
[12:06] <janisozaur> ActionParsnip, seems so
[12:06] <janisozaur> ActionParsnip, oh, but adrianrh is already gone :(

[12:09] <alvesjnr> hi all. Looking for Evernote cliente for Ubuntu. Any help?
[12:10] <DogLover> I have 3 hdd in my pc. I open gparted and I only see the one that Ubuntu is currently installed on. Where are my other two drives?
[12:10] <ActionParsnip> !info everpad
[12:10] <gustav___> Hm, what does TCP_MISS mean, in squid log?
[12:11] <ActionParsnip> alvesjnr: what is the output of: lsb_release -sc
[12:11]  * oye giving Wubi a try.
[12:12] <ActionParsnip> DogLover: if you run:  sudo fdisk -l    do you see the others?
[12:13] <DogLover> No I don't.
[12:13] <ActionParsnip> alvesjnr: its a simple terminal command, just copy and paste it, then copy and paste the output here
[12:14] <oye> I have Wubi downloading Kubuntu, and it happens that my uTorrent application is running too. It is okay to exit uTorrent?
[12:14] <ActionParsnip> oye: should be ok, wubi isnt a long term solution btw
[12:15] <oye> ActionParsnip I know it is not.  After removing a bookmark in pcmanfm the program crashed and cannot be started. If I start pcmanfm it's in the task list, but not displayed. Any ideas?
[12:25] <Oins> I also removed .gtk-bookmarks, but same result
[12:27] <ActionParsnip> Oins: is there a config folder in ~/.config you can rename (maybe)
[12:27] <Korekame> what's going on with my net today.... geez, that's going to get annoying fast.
[12:28] <ActionParsnip> alvesjnr: any update on the output of the command I gave....?
[12:28] <Oins> ActionParsnip: yes, there was a folder pcmanfm at ~/.config/... I already removed it. Same result. Nothing happens after starting pcmanfm
[12:29] <Oins> btw. I use xfce
[12:29] <ActionParsnip> Oins: tried a log off and on?
[12:29] <Oins> with normal ubuntu 12.04 install
[12:29] <Oins> ActionParsnip: yes, log off/on already tried
[12:30] <Oins> maybe i could try an complete reboot. But it would be nice to find out what happens :)
[12:30] <Oins> and with gksudo pcmanfm starts.
[12:32] <ActionParsnip> Oins: with gksudo it is running as root, so it will
[12:33] <Oins> ActionParsnip: i know. But I like to find out if there is a problem with the program or with the user. It seems to be a users problem :(
[12:34] <Oins> Can anyone give me the "home" line form his ~/.gtk-bookmarks file. Should be something like file:///home/user user or so.
[12:34] <Oins> Maybe this works for me. After deleting this bookmark, pcmanfm crashes
[12:36] <somsip> Oins: there isn't one for my Home in pcmanfm
[12:37] <somsip> Oins: badly worded - there is a Places link to Home, but no wentry in .gtk-bookmarks
[12:38] <jony_easyrider> can I save terminal commands to able to use them later?
[12:38] <jony_easyrider> (I know about the up and down arrow)
[12:38] <somsip> jony_easyrider: type 'history' or save them in ~/.bash_aliases file
[12:39] <DogLover> I am having trouble getting a .run file to open. It always opens in gedit.
[12:39] <somsip> jony_easyrider: and from history, replay a comand with !{number}
[12:40] <Oins> hmm.. i will try to reboot.
[12:40] <tortik> DogLover: try to open the terminal and enter 'sudo sh path_to_run_file'
[12:41] <DogLover> Thanks!
[12:43] <DogLover> I am attempting to install a driver for my Radeon X1300, but the terminal gave me this: Error: ./default_policy.sh does not support version default:v2:x86_64:lib::none:3.8.0-20-generic; make sure that the version is being correctly set by --iscurrentdistro
[12:44] <Oins> nice. reboot did it ;)
[12:44] <loganlee> DogLover, im korean ;) i love ubuntu ;)
[12:44] <loganlee> i also love dogs
[12:44] <loganlee> i have fox terrier
[12:44] <DogLover> I am trying to fix a error with my monitors. I am wanting a dual setup, but Ubuntu doesn't detect the second monitor. Also, it has reduced the resolution of my first monitor to a low res.
[12:44] <DogLover> Nice. I love dogs too, but I don't have one.
[12:45] <DogLover> It only gives me the option of 1024x768
[12:45] <BluesKaj> DogLover, which graphics ?
[12:46] <DogLover> I have a AMD Radeon x1300
[12:46] <loganlee> 1024v768 is prety high no?
[12:46] <DogLover> I just unplugged the 2nd monitor and the 1st is back to normal, full resolution.
[12:46] <DogLover> Not compared to 1280x1024.
[12:47] <BluesKaj> DogLover, sorry dunno much about that gpu and it's configuration needs
[12:47] <DogLover> The main monitor is a Dell. The second is a Acer.
[12:47] <DogLover> ok
[12:48] <DogLover> Hmm, just plugged acer back in and it didn't downgrade the resolution, but the brightness did lower.

[12:55] <Steevca> I bouth a new pc and i have a SATA II hard drive with 3 partitions,somehow i can't make more,so is there a way to install Ubuntu on one of those partitions without fromating them or losing data from them ?
[12:55] <loganlee> Steevca, just partition free space and install
[12:55] <bpat1434> Steevca: you could run Ubuntu as a live CD at first to you can move the files off of an install
[12:56] <Steevca> loganlee: I have tons of free space,but if i try to create a new partition i just get unusable space and i can't make a partition.
[12:57] <OerHeks> Steevca, make a Extended Partition, so you can add more partitions.
[12:57] <Steevca> I would like to have a dual boot.
[12:57] <Steevca> Ok,let me check that.
[12:58] <OerHeks> Steevca so not primairy, but extended > https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowtoPartition/ExtendedPartition

[13:12] <Gizus> hi, I've a problem with Ubuntu 12.04 and OpenOffice 3.4.1
[13:13] <Gizus> desktop-integration is not integrating :D
[13:13] <Gizus> is a commont topic?
[13:13] <gustav___> What's a quick way to set up an SSH tunnel?
[13:14] <SrPx>  Hello guys, I've received a ".ppk" file with information on how to login on my amazon server. I guess it's a rsa key pair. But what I am supposed to do with it? I'm not on windows so..
[13:14] <Gizus> it's a plain installation on a VM, libreoffice uninstalled and removed
[13:15] <somsip> SrPx: ppk is a key for puTTY, a SSH client
[13:15] <Gizus> openonffice then is starting, but there is no way to put the icons on the leftbar
[13:15] <somsip> SrPx: you should get a .pem for Amazon, by default
[13:15] <SrPx> .pem?
[13:15] <Gizus> and, I need this on a OEM preinstallation
[13:15] <somsip> SrPx: erm...a file that ends in .pem
[13:15] <SrPx> somsip: ... I mean, what is that .pem?
[13:16] <somsip> SrPx: it's generated in the Security Credentials part of the Dashboard from memory. If it's your account, I'm not too sure how you get a ppk out of it. But there you go
[13:18] <Gizus> no help on openoffice 3.4.1 ?
[13:18] <mdfe> open or libre?
[13:19] <Gizus> open
[13:19] <Gizus> the desktop integration does nothing
[13:19] <Gizus> my installation is as OEM (temporary user)
[13:20] <makara> Gizus, open Writer and then right click the icon. Should be an option like 'Pin to Launcher'
[13:20] <mdfe> Gizus, can you not launch it manually then right click the icon in unity launcher and select 'pin'?
[13:20] <Adys> how can I contact ubuntu sysadmins? those that manage brainstorm.ubuntu.com
[13:21] <Gizus> the problem is that in this way when I prepare the OS for shipping to enduser it loose this configuration
[13:21] <makara> Adys, at the bottom of the page
[13:21] <Gizus> so it's not clear if it's related to the OEM install mode OR is there is something wrong with this version
[13:22] <Adys> makara: those are moderators, they dont have db access
[13:22] <makara> Adys, and what did they tell you?
[13:23] <Gizus> in other words, how can I add application to the left bar in a way that they will be available to all users?
[13:23] <loganlee> left bar?
[13:23] <Gizus> yes on unity, the launchbar on the left
[13:24] <nb-ben> Gizus, see  /etc/skel
[13:24] <nb-ben> I think it's that :D
[13:25] <nb-ben> Gizus, that's a skeleton directory for new users, or you could use a symlink for all users for the configuration related to that menu
[13:25] <OerHeks> Gizus, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UnityLaunchersAndDesktopFiles
[13:26] <Gizus> ok thanks
[13:27] <doomlord> is it possible to switch desktop from a commandline tool
[13:27] <Gizus> for information, gnome-panel is also related to this functions?
[13:27] <DogLover> How do I add a comment on Ask Ubuntu?
[13:27] <philinux> Gizus: http://askubuntu.com/questions/38331/how-to-change-default-launcher-icons-in-unity-for-a-new-user

[14:14] <mink> ActionParsnip, on /home/ i've only "ubuntu" folder
[14:14] <blazemore> mink: Then browse to home/<username>
[14:14] <ActionParsnip> mink: yes, that is your home folder of the livecd user
[14:14] <blazemore> Let's not be pedantic, we know what mink means
[14:15] <ActionParsnip> blazemore: just trying to educate in better question asking, its not wholly a bad thing
[14:15] <blazemore> He was asking "How can I get to MY home directory from a live cd"
[14:16] <blazemore> And the answer is: mount the drive, either using "sudo mount /dev/sdXn /mnt" or by clicking it in Unity, then browsing to the folder
[14:17] <root____4> Does he know ow to mount a drive.?
[14:17] <blazemore> He's right here, why don't you ask him?
[14:17] <lmat> I'm having trouble accessing a windows share on my network. I have a Windows VM that accesses it well, but I can't get ubuntu to access it.
[14:18] <ActionParsnip> blazemore: if you run 'whoami' ;)
[14:18] <root____4> - So I have this asus v8200 graphics board. And X wont let me in .
[14:18] <lmat> Are there any tricks?
[14:18] <lmat> It seems very straightforward.
[14:18] <ActionParsnip> mink: you should say that the home in on your hard drive, not the one in thelive cd
[14:18] <root____4> - So I have this asus v8200 graphics board. And X wont let me in .
[14:18] <mink> ActionParsnip, I still have problem with my english ;)
[14:18] <lmat> oh, I just noticed I can't ping the server!
[14:19] <k1l> root____4: just dont use root account
[14:19] <ActionParsnip> root____4: if you press CTRL+ALT+F1 and login, then run:  lsb_release -sc      what is output>
[14:19] <eXcAliBuR> My Ubuntu server 12.10 is sending out 5 spam email's per second... I blocked the port on my firewall but no idea how to clean the server
[14:19] <lmat> I needed the FQN of the server, duh! ^_^
[14:19] <ActionParsnip> root____4: also, ircing as root is not smart at all
[14:19] <mink> I know how mount something, but I dont know what exactly I should mount
[14:20] <root____4> I am in the box through ssh right now. I ojly login on ssh as root.
[14:20] <Pici> eXcAliBuR: backup what you need and reformat.
[14:20] <eXcAliBuR> >:(
[14:20] <k1l> root____4: which doesnt make it better
[14:22] <root____4> I ony use ssh to do admin.task, Theredor Its good to havew the log from troublshoutin in irssi autosaved in my root-accout.
[14:23] <ActionParsnip> root____4: what is the output of:  lsb_release -sc
[14:24] <ActionParsnip> mink: nautilus will show the available partitions, you can then look at the data to see if it is the one with your home
[14:24] <root____4> Yes -it's a ubuntu spinoff. Mint maya. Probably you wil ltell me go to mint channel now.
[14:25] <ActionParsnip> root____4: not supported here
[14:26] <ActionParsnip> root____4: yes, as you are not using Ubuntu
[14:26] <lmat> I got a Windows share connected and listed in nautilus. The cute little nautilus window shows up with the files visible. But the path isn't rooted at '/'! Where is this thing mounted?
[14:26] <root____4> I use the same repos  as quantal
[14:28] <root____4> So if ther are any config tools I can dl, you could tell. I know for sure that if I donẗ find answers on mints forums there are often at ubuntu.forums, because they are so close relatives.

[14:36] <A1Recon> Does Ubuntu show hidden files (through Win7) in a flashdrive?
[14:37] <A1Recon> ??
[14:38] <gustav_> Hm.
[14:38] <gustav_> Why do I have to answer questions now again?
[14:38] <gustav_> Why don't you answer questions?
[14:38] <A1Recon> Does Ubuntu show hidden files (through Win7) in a flashdrive?
[14:39] <Pici> A1Recon: it should
[14:39] <nibbler_> yes
[14:39] <A1Recon> nibbler_: Pici: OK
[14:39] <nibbler_> ... unless they start with a dot "." ;-)
[14:40] <philinux> gustav_: what question?
[14:40] <ActionParsnip> A1Recon: it will show windows hidden files, yes
[14:40] <Pici> gustav_: the FloodBots are just trying to protect the channel from being flooded with joins.
[14:41] <newsalor> I'm trying to install canon laser shot LBP-1120 printer. I'm trying to follow the instructions here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CanonCaptDrv190 ... However, the link to the driver doesn't work and I can't find the driver.
[14:41] <aderuwe> hey everyone - "ufw enable" should normally not lock me out of the server, no? ufw has not been used yet on the machine
[14:50] <joelwallis> How can I unmount a mount --bind folder?
[14:53] <llutz> joelwallis: umount folder
[14:54] <ActionParsnip> joelwallis: just umount the mount point, you will need to change your pwd if your are in the mount point or it wil be marked as 'busy'
[14:54] <joelwallis> llutz, i discovered that i need to pass -n to umount, so it doesn't try to inform fstab to the unmounting task
[14:55] <joelwallis> llutz, ActionParsnip thanks for answering. :)
[14:55] <joelwallis> its was generating a error, related to fstab. with -n i could unmount the folder.
[14:56] <lpb> im having trouble installing ubuntu server (precise) onto a multipathed san-boot lun.  i've read you can pass disk-detect/multipath/enable=true at the installer prompt but im not sure how to do that?
[15:00] <jost> Hi! I'm trying to configure an apache 2.2 as a proxy for a web application on localhost:3000. I've configured it, but something denies the proxy access: http://pastebin.com/ezJ75bmH
[15:01] <jost> SELinux is disabled (isn't even installed), and apparmor appearently does not watch the apache processes.
[15:02] <atmosx_desktop> hello
[15:02] <atmosx_desktop> again
[15:02] <atmosx_desktop> I'm trying to add this repo, but apparenntly doesn't work. It never finds the new packages that comes witwh the xmbc repo
[15:02] <jost> And I can configure the proxy as a frontend for google, but not for my own application... any ideas?
[15:02] <atmosx_desktop> it's like if it doesn't save/write the new added ppa repo :-/
[15:04] <blazemore> atmosx_desktop: Did you run "sudo apt-get update" afterwards?
[15:05] <atmosx_desktop> blazemore: yes a dozen times
[15:05] <blazemore> Once would have been enough
[15:05] <blazemore> did it show any errors?
[15:05] <atmosx_desktop> blazemore: no nothing
[15:05] <eXcAliBuR> suddenly for no reason i'm getting the message i'm not in sudoers file
[15:05] <eXcAliBuR> :(
[15:05] <atmosx_desktop> blazemore: it says it adds the repo, but I can't see any xmbc packages
[15:05] <Guest6872> Hello, does anyone here is receiving "failed to load session "gnome-classic" with gdm and gnome 3.8?
[15:05] <blazemore> eXcAliBuR: What changes did you make between it working, and it not working
[15:06] <atmosx_desktop> blazemore: can I see all the added ppa repos?
[15:06] <atmosx_desktop> now if I do upgrade, it upgrades xmbc packages to the unstable version… weird
[15:06] <blazemore> atmosx_desktop: Install the program "synaptic" which is an advanced GUI package manager. Run it with "sudo synaptic". On the left there is a button that says "sources". click it, and it will allow you to filter packages by their source
[15:06] <auronandace> atmosx_desktop: xmbc is in the official repos, no need for a ppa
[15:06] <blazemore> atmosx_desktop: Sounds like it worked then
[15:06] <blazemore> auronandace: That's not true if the PPA provides a more recent version
[15:06] <blazemore> auronandace: and the user is aware of the risks
[15:06] <Guest6872> Hello, does anyone here is receiving "failed to load session "gnome-classic" with gdm and gnome 3.8?
[15:07] <atmosx_desktop> blazemore: I'm in cli, no GUI here
[15:07] <atmosx_desktop> auronandace: I'm trying to install xmbc-standalone but it's nowhere to be found
[15:07] <blazemore> atmosx_desktop: Does the PPA you added actually provide the package xbmc-standalone?
[15:08] <atmosx_desktop> E: Unable to locate package xmbc
[15:08] <atmosx_desktop> ...
[15:08] <atmosx_desktop> blazemore: yes
[15:08] <atmosx_desktop> theoritically and from all the guides
[15:08] <auronandace> atmosx_desktop: are you sure you spelt it right? you keep saying xmbc (its xbmc)
[15:08] <atmosx_desktop> do these ppa things add lines at /etc/apt/sources ?
[15:08] <Pici> atmosx_desktop: no, they create files i /etc/apt/sources.list.d/
[15:08] <atmosx_desktop> shit
[15:08] <Pici> atmosx_desktop: mind your language please
[15:08] <atmosx_desktop> sorry
[15:09] <atmosx_desktop> it's the 1st I do such a lame mistake
[15:11] <eXcAliBuR> blazemore: I did a sql dump
[15:13] <Guest6872> I need help with a ubuntu gnome matter, if anyone is available?
[15:15] <blazemore> eXcAliBuR: ...good for you?
[15:15] <mcscruff> Guest68219, maybe..
[15:15] <eXcAliBuR> wher do i see ppl with sudo access
[15:15] <eXcAliBuR> ?
[15:15] <blazemore> Guest6872: Can you set a more readable nickname with "/nick <myname>" please?
[15:16] <Guest6872> ok
[15:16] <zerick> hiii !!, anybody knows how to make bounce thunderbird icon on unity when an email has arrived?
[15:17] <Hx2> blazemore: Done.
[15:17] <blazemore> Hx2: What's your specific question?
[15:17] <neekz0r> atmosx_desktop: one late night i was getting frustrated because a command wasn't working. i had forgotton to su
[15:17] <neekz0r> we all make mistakes :)
[15:17] <Kar-> where abouts is /tmp mounted on 12.04?
[15:17] <Kar-> it's not in fstab and i want to remove the noexec option
[15:17] <mcscruff> Hx2, what is your problem
[15:18] <neekz0r> /tmp is just a directory in default
[15:18] <Hx2> Im using gnome 3.8 with ubuntu 13.04 . Installed gnome-shell-extensions to see the new classic mode, but when selecting the session in gdm and then loggin, Im receiving : failed to load session "gnome-classic"
[15:18] <blazemore> Not only is it just a directory, but /tmp on Ubuntu doesn't have noexec by default I believe...
[15:18] <Kar-> sorry, i mean, like where is the config for it to be automounted as it's not in fstab where i normally expect it
[15:18] <blazemore> Hx2: No idea, sorry :c
[15:18] <ActionParsnip> Hx2: I suggest you contact the PPA maintainer you added to get Gnome 3.8
[15:18] <Kar-> i notice there's a /etc/init/mounted-tmp.conf
[15:18] <Kar-> but nothing in there that looks obvious regarding noexec
[15:19] <Hx2> ok thanks
[15:19] <Kar-> i'm looking for complication where there is none
[15:19] <Kar-> :)
[15:19] <neekz0r> kari, as it's not a mount, it's just created by the install process like all the other directories :)
[15:19] <Kar-> yep
[15:19] <Kar-> lol sorry
[15:19] <FloodBot1> Kar-: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[15:20] <Kar-> needed to rubber duck this one as i'm so used to having /tmp mounted as a ramdisk in fstab
[15:20]  * neekz0r nods
[15:20] <neekz0r> yeah, i'm a little surprised myself
[15:20] <Hx2> ActionParsnip: I used the official ppa for gnome3, do you have any idea about who to contact? Im already in GIMPnet, gnome channel and is dead.
[15:20] <ActionParsnip> Hx2: its not from the Ubuntu repos, so its not suported here
[15:20] <ActionParsnip> Hx2: try #gnome
[15:21] <Kar-> thanks for the help! i would have spent probably an hour being stupid otherwise
[15:21] <ActionParsnip> Hx2: what was wrong with the 3.6 version from the repos whicjh is fully supported here?
[15:21] <neekz0r> you can, if your goal is nosuexec, mount it yourself though
[15:22] <neekz0r> errr.. noexec
[15:22]  * neekz0r rolls his eyes
[15:22] <Hx2> ActionParsnip: I havent used the 3.6 , so I cant really tell. Just looking the new 3.8 and the new features. Specially the new classic. Unity is not right for me.
[15:23] <elhoir> hello guys
[15:23] <elhoir> i need some advice and help about a possible bug concerning ps/2 mouse....
[15:24] <elhoir> 1st of all, at lightdm screen, mouse pointer does not change when i pass it over the password textbox

[15:26] <elhoir> what may i do in that situation?
[15:27] <ActionParsnip> Hx2: id ask in #gnome
[15:27] <ActionParsnip> Hx2: if you dislike the Unity interface you could install KDE, XFCE, LXDE or anything else. You don't have to use Unity. You don't even have to use Gnome
[15:28] <ActionParsnip> elhoir: open a terminal and reload your window manager
[15:29] <riooos485> Is there a ubuntu distro that comes with Gnome per default as of version 13.04?
[15:30] <blazemore> riooos485: No, but there is a version 12.10 https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuGNOME/ReleaseNotes/12.10
[15:31] <elhoir> ActionParsnip, what do u want to test that way?
[15:31] <riooos485> Thanks for the info blazemore!
[15:31] <dgjones> riooos485: Yes, http://ubuntugnome.org/
[15:31] <blazemore> riooos485: I stand corrected by dgjones
[15:31] <elhoir> ActionParsnip, do i loose my current session that way?
[15:31] <ActionParsnip> elhoir: what window manager do you use?
[15:31] <elhoir> ActionParsnip, lightdm
[15:32] <ActionParsnip> elhoir: thats not a WM
[15:32] <riooos485> Ok thats good going to check that out
[15:32] <ActionParsnip> elhoir: do you use the pretty desktop effects?
[15:32] <elhoir> ActionParsnip, i use Unity
[15:33] <elhoir> and i use the GNOME 3 ppa also
[15:34] <elhoir> ActionParsnip, is it what you are talking about?
[15:34] <ActionParsnip> elhoir: then in a terminal run:  compiz --replace
[15:34] <elhoir> ActionParsnip, done
[15:35] <ActionParsnip> elhoir: any better?
[15:36] <elhoir> ActionParsnip, i'd say worse :) now i cannot detach terminal windows from the top bar
[15:36] <sanguisdex2> where an I read up on connecting to a private windows network?
[15:37] <BAMbanda> I tried to "cat" a .doc in my ubuntu server terminal and now I have all these weird characters on my screen and don't know how to exit :(
[15:37] <Hx2> an error like unable to load session gnome-classic , where is that logged?: /var/log/gdm?
[15:37] <llutz> BAMbanda: ctrl-c then type "reset" blndly
[15:37] <ActionParsnip> BAMbanda: ctrl + c
[15:37] <BAMbanda> llutz: thanks it worked
[15:37] <BAMbanda> ActionParsnip: thanks man
[15:37] <elhoir> ActionParsnip, what would you recommend me to do? reinstall lightdm? im not sure if its a mouse bug, a ps/2 bug.... or something weird only affecting me :-/
[15:38] <BAMbanda> ls
[15:38] <elhoir> but i can tell you its VERY annoying
[15:38] <ActionParsnip> BAMbanda: .doc has lots of formatting data, it is not clear text
[15:39] <BAMbanda> ActionParsnip, are there anyways to read it clearly on ubuntu-server?
[15:39] <zerick>  Anybody knows how to make unity urgent animation  wiggle  until open it ?
[15:39] <ActionParsnip> BAMbanda: there may be doc to text converters
[15:39] <BAMbanda> any programs that can convert it or make it easy?
[15:39] <BAMbanda> ActionParsnip, do you know of any for ubuntu server?
[15:40] <ActionParsnip> BAMbanda: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/685533/python-convert-microsoft-office-docs-to-plain-text-on-linux
[15:41] <ActionParsnip> !info catdoc
[15:41] <ActionParsnip> not bad
[15:41] <ActionParsnip> all I dod was search the web....strange......
[15:41] <BAMbanda> ActionParsnip: kudos to you!
[15:42] <DogLover> Hi all!
[15:42] <chromie> i love this chromebook....
[15:42] <skl> hi.. why does ubuntu 13.04 takes too long to shutdown??
[15:43] <elhoir> ActionParsnip, had to reboot, it didnt help :(
[15:43] <ActionParsnip> skl: when you see the shutdown splash, press ESC
[15:45] <zerick> Anybody knows how to make unity urgent animation  wiggle  until open it ?
[15:46] <skl> ActionParsnip: that does not help.. there's nothing displayed.. just the ubuntu logo and the dots..
[15:46] <DogLover> Having issues with a dual screen setup. Anyone else have problems with that?
[15:47] <hht> Where can i find a full list of packages in ubuntu?
[15:47] <blazemore> hht: you can search online at http://packages.ubuntu.com
[15:47] <blazemore> hht: Or you can install the "synaptic" package manager to view a list of all packages available to install on your system
[15:49] <oye> What makes a difference between Synaptic and Muon?
[15:49] <ActionParsnip> skl: does the system have a make and model?
[15:50] <hht> blazemore: oh thanks, the link was exactly what i am looking for
[15:50] <ActionParsnip> hht: apt-cache search .    will show ALL packages, or you can actually search for a string. YOu don't need synaptic as software centre is already installed and does the same job
[15:50] <skl> ActionParsnip: it's an Acer 4740 with intel i3 and 4gb of RAM. running ubuntu 13.04 64bit
[15:51] <ActionParsnip> skl: have you seen any web pages with people reporting the same issue?
[15:51] <hht> ActionParsnip: thank you i will try it
[15:52] <raido> Anyone know why upstart doesnt recognize sse at all... even though it is installed and running. I cant stop or restart it with "service ssh restart" etc...
[15:52] <skl> ActionParsnip: i don't see them. maybe because this is a new release.
[15:53] <ActionParsnip> skl: if you run:  sudo shutdown -h now    does it shutdown faster?
[15:54] <skl> ActionParsnip: yes it does. but the normal shutdown using the shutdown menu also have no problem shutting down ubuntu. It's just the problem is intermittent and very hard to troubleshoot
[15:54] <ActionParsnip> skl: try http://www.hecticgeek.com/2012/10/speed-up-ubuntu-shutdown-process/
[15:54] <ActionParsnip> skl: is the BIOS up to date?
[15:54] <int19h> check your syslog skl
[15:54] <ActionParsnip> skl: is the RAM healthy
[15:55] <zerick> Anybody knows how to make unity urgent animation  wiggle  until open it ?
[15:56] <ntzrmtthihu777> hallo. anyone here playing ddo/lotro via wine? I'm '' this close to being done, I just need a modern patchclient.dll.... any care to assist?
[15:56] <skl> ActionParsnip: the RAM is good. tested with other distro including Windows and no problem detected. the BIOS also the latest available.. I will try the solution in the link u gave just now and see if it solve my problem
[15:58] <tom_ilsinszki> Some of my cron jobs won't run depending on the time settings I use in crontab. This will run every minute:  * * * * * CMD. This will run every 5 minutes  */5 * * * * CMD. But this won't run at at 17:55:  55 17 * * * CMD. Can someone help me why?
[15:59] <llutz> tom_ilsinszki: add "CRON_TZ=CET"  (whatever timezone you are in) to your crontab and test again
[16:00] <tom_ilsinszki> llutz: Thx, I'll check. Wow, how did you know, I needed CET? :)
[16:01] <llutz> tom_ilsinszki: i've the 2nd sight :)

[16:02] <pratz> hello guys
[16:02] <pratz> i am using u-12.04
[16:02] <pratz> my internet has stopped working
[16:02] <atmosx_desktop> pratz: and still you're online, aint that a miracle or what?
[16:02] <ActionParsnip> pratz: can you ping <IP_ADDRESS> ?
[16:03] <pratz> when i boot in, there is an orange light blinking, when i log in the system there is no light in lan card
[16:03] <ActionParsnip> pratz: check dmesg for clues
[16:03] <pratz> atmosx_desktop: that awesome dude, I am on other machine
[16:03] <atmosx_desktop> pratz: oooh, no miracle then :-(
[16:04] <atmosx_desktop> pratz: if you cannot ping, check the interface might be down
[16:04] <atmosx_desktop> check tha cablature, cables go out of place all the time
[16:04] <tom_ilsinszki> llutz: You were right about the timezone, but my commands still don't run. However I've checked my /var/log/syslog file, and the times in the log are different from CET, so probably that will be the problem somehow...
[16:05] <pratz> atmosx_desktop: checked already wires are in place
[16:05] <llutz> tom_ilsinszki: check what timezone your pc uses, likely UTC
[16:05] <pratz> ActionParsnip: plymouth-stop pre-start process , is the last line in dmesg
[16:07] <jzbl> Hi, how can I check if my wireless card supports bridging? I have 13.04 (Xubuntu flavour) with Intel iwlwifi driver - Wireless-N 1030 card
[16:08] <ActionParsnip> pratz: not just the last line, all the lines. Is anything in the boot showing netwok issues / loading / unloading modules and so forth
[16:08] <zerick> Anybody knows how to make unity urgent animation  wiggle  until open it ?
[16:08] <alecb> what's a download manager I can use that can recover a download and pick up where it left off in the case of a network error or something similar?
[16:08] <ActionParsnip> zerick: asked in #compiz too?
[16:09] <pratz> ActionParsnip: how can i check if the lan card is working ?
[16:09] <ActionParsnip> alecb: i believe fatrat can, epends if the server supports resuming
[16:09] <ActionParsnip> pratz: ping your router's internal IP
[16:09] <zerick> ActionParsnip: not jet
[16:11] <pratz> ActionParsnip: can not ping router too
[16:11] <tom_ilsinszki> llutz: actually if I'm correct it's set to CEST. sudo dpkg-reconfigure tzdata says: "Current default time zone: 'Europe/Budapest'", which is correct.
[16:11] <kostkon> alecb, uget or flareget
[16:11] <asem0525> Hello,
[16:11] <ActionParsnip> pratz: try unplugging it then replugging it in
[16:12] <pratz> ActionParsnip: tried 100 time now
[16:12] <tom_ilsinszki> llutz: but now, I'm thanks to you, I'm almost certain it's a time zone problem...
[16:12] <ActionParsnip> pratz: what does dmesg show you then?
[16:12] <asem0525> I have installed Ubuntu 12.04 server on my Fedora using XEN< but as soon as it loaded it asks me for localhost login and password, but I didn't put one by myself?
[16:12] <ActionParsnip> asem0525: its the one you set when you installed.
[16:13] <ActionParsnip> asem0525: you can always boot to root recovery console and set the password there
[16:13] <asem0525> but it asks me the pasword as soon as it was loaded
[16:13] <pratz> ActionParsnip: pymouth in the last line
[16:13] <ActionParsnip> pratz: again, not just the last line, read ALL the lines...
[16:13] <jzbl> asem0525: by loaded you maybe mean that the xen domain is started?
[16:13] <pratz> ActionParsnip: i know this is not useful, but how can i get the message to you I am not sure
[16:14] <ActionParsnip> asem0525: hold SHIFT at boot, select recovery mode, select root
[16:14] <asem0525> xen domain is started yes
[16:14] <pratz> ActionParsnip: i can not even connect to the other computer
[16:14] <ActionParsnip> pratz: just read it, its quite readable
[16:14] <ActionParsnip> pratz: dmesg | less     will help you to page it so it doesn't croll like cray
[16:14] <ActionParsnip> *crazy
[16:14] <jzbl> asem0525: so no you see no booting process at all right? just asking for password?
[16:15] <asem0525> jzbl: yes
[16:15] <asem0525> clear
 yes
[16:15] <jzbl> asem0525: probably vnc console or domain password , so the issue would be outside of ubuntu scope.
[16:16] <asem0525> hm, starange, ok I'll try to reinstall it now
[16:19] <FroMaster> Is there a supported way to upgrade ubuntu 12.04 to a Linux 3.6 kernel?
[16:20] <MonkeyDust> FroMaster  no, you'd need a PPA
[16:21] <ActionParsnip> FroMaster: http://www.ubuntubuzz.com/2012/10/install-linux-kernel-360-on-ubuntu-1204.html   your choice, its not supported here though
[16:21] <ActionParsnip> FroMaster: what do you need in 3.6 exactly?
[16:22] <Pici> FroMaster: If you wanted 3.5 or 3.8 you could install linux-generic-lts-quantal or linux-generic-lts-raring, respectively.
[16:24] <FroMaster> I'm planning to setup Cehp in a demo environment today and the http://ceph.com/docs/master/install/os-recommendations/ suggest upgrading to a 3.6 kernel on 12.04
[16:26] <ActionParsnip> FroMaster: have you asked them why?

[16:39] <guest_123456731> Hello, I have a very weird problem. If I ping google.com, ping hangs for quite a while between printing each line. If I try to ping the ip that ping gave me while running the first command, I don't get any replied (100% packet loss). Can anyone help me?
[16:40] <jzbl> guest_123456731: does your internet connection work at all? can you browse web etc.?

[16:41] <jzbl> guest_123456731: firewall settings may not allow ICMP packets to got out or come back.
[16:42] <guest_123456731> jzbl: Maybe, but then why would it work if I use google.com ?
[16:42] <jzbl> guest_123456731: does it work on any other host?
[16:44] <mchlbhm> ey guys. I installed ubuntu 12.04 x64. It said I needed to reboot, but when I did I only get a blank salmon screen or constant flashing, wrap around login screen. Please help.
[16:44] <jzbl> guest_123456731: sorry misread, so what host is problematic?
[16:46] <a|i3n> Can someone tell me what the best software would be for taking mp4/other formats of movie backups and reburning to a dvd?
[16:46] <guest_123456731> jzbl: Ahh sorry, it seems that google's addresses don't let you ping the IP directly (probably CDN things or something). There are still other problems with ping hanging between each reply, but I think something weird is going on, I'm going to play around a bit before I ask more questions.
[16:46] <guest_123456731> jzbl: Thanks for the help
[16:47] <jzbl> guest_123456731: no problem, some hosts reject icmp, microsoft.com is one of well known.

[16:58] <ezra-s> jzbl, issues connecting to Ubuntu? that does not make sense, if you don't have a firewall running or something that blocks connections it does not matter if it's ubuntu or redhat or freebsd.. you should be able to connect if the server is up and running

[17:23] <deivis> Tried second ago.
[17:23] <taillo> ha, sorry
[17:23] <Nick10> i tried doing what this guy recommended doing> https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-users/2012-September/263773.html however when i try to do anything with the status file i get a strange error message " dpkg error: parsing '/var/lib/dpkg/status' near line 18600 package 'xmind':   blank line in value of field 'Description'. This prevents any changes.
[17:24] <taillo> deivis, do you have install extracodec of K3b ?
[17:24] <jzbl> deivis: mp3 to audio cd? brasero maybe?
[17:24] <deivis> brasero hangs when i start my burning and crashes.
[17:24] <deivis> I did not tried to install codecs for kb3
[17:25] <jzbl> deivis: not that I am surprised, I had awful experience with brasero on my workstation burner... ;P
[17:25] <deivis> Can i find them in USC?
[17:25] <taillo> deivis, try sudo apt-get install libk3b6-extracodecs
[17:25] <deivis> I will, give me a second.
[17:25] <squibbles> having trouble with bluetooth on ubuntu .... could i possibly get some help
[17:26] <jzbl> deivis: if taillo method won't work, you might try to decode mp3 to wav and burn audio from wav files.
[17:26] <jzbl> squibbles: describe your problem, someone will try to help you.
[17:26] <Nick10> Anyone know how I can go about fixing that error message I posted?
[17:26] <deivis> Would it effect quality?
[17:27] <jzbl> deivis: mp3 to wav no. you are transcoding lossy format to loseless.
[17:27] <squibbles> my bluetooth will turn on (and so supposedly work) but it will not let me change the visibilty, the bar is all greyed out so  ihave no idea how to enable that and get it working
[17:27] <taillo> deivis, the extracodec don't work ?
[17:27] <jzbl> wav to mp3 affects quality.
[17:27] <deivis> im trying it
[17:27] <deivis> I think it works

[17:30] <lmat> ezra-s: I just created the dir, then restarted...
[17:30] <ezra-s> lmat, some programs look in there, maybe there is a mechanishm to enable it if it exists in ubuntu, but I don't know anything about that
[17:31] <lmat> ezra-s: could you test it for me?

[17:40] <_thufir_> jzbl: right, there's the driver.   however, in 12.10 all that was done through the package manager.  I was looking to use the package manager again.

[17:42] <_thufir_> jzbl: I don't know.  for 13.04, I did a clean install, but from the server version (just a cd burner).  I'm thinking it's probably a "desktop" type package, I wish I knew.

[17:43] <jamiem93> Can I have some help?
[17:44] <gordonjcp> ofcan: could be a failing drive - the fact that gparted failed may be because it got hung up on a bad spot on the disk

[17:47] <bhosie__> i'm attempting to dual boot a machine (UEFI) with win 8 and ubuntu. I've spent hours reading pretty much every guide and link. came across this one which describes my issue exactly. the one supplied answer isn't helpful in proceeding. does anyone have experience with this? http://askubuntu.com/questions/266019/ubiquity-doesnt-find-my-partitions
[17:47] <gordonjcp> ofcan: is there anything on the drive you need to save?
[17:47] <ofcan> gordonjcp: all in the cloud :)
[17:47] <gordonjcp> ofcan: reformat ;-)
[17:48] <ofcan> gordonjcp: and reinstall ubuntu? should that fix it?
[17:48] <ezra-s> bhosie__, have you checked https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI ?
[17:48] <bhosie__> ezra-s: i have
[17:49] <bhosie__> this guide is helpful if the hdd is recognized, but the installer doesn't recognize mine
[17:49] <JoeyJoeJo> What package would I have to install to get the rfcomm module?
[17:50] <bhosie__> ive disabled secure boot and disabled fast boot in windows, and rebooted windows several times
[17:51] <gordonjcp> ofcan: well as I said if you killed gparted half-way through then it's likely that the whole drive is now a mess
[17:51] <wilee-nilee> bhosie__, Very little experienced help on uefi here, the ubuntu forums has the the help you might want.
[17:51] <bhosie__> ezra-s: the one thing i'm not sure of is how to disable  the intel smart response technology in win 8
[17:52] <ezra-s> bhosie__, isn't that disabled inside the UEFI configuration (bios or whatever is called now) ?
[17:53] <bhosie__> ezra-s: it may be. i disabled a setting similar to that in bios, one of the guides made it sound like there was something in windows as well, but i may have misunderstood
[17:53] <zoktar> Hello, i upgraded to 13.04, some of my services appear to have broken, does anyone know what packages i need to apt-get --purge --reinstall install ?.
[17:53] <ntzrmtthihu777> next time avoid an in-install upgrade. it almost always botches.
[17:54] <ezra-s> bhosie__, in the link i pasted it says it clearly: "In your BIOS, disable QuickBoot/FastBoot and Intel Smart Response Technology"
[17:54] <ezra-s> bhosie__, " If you have Windows8, also disable FastStartup. "
[17:54] <ezra-s> which I guess it's also in the BIOS
[17:55] <bhosie__> ezra-s: yes, i did do both of those last night when i read that guide, as well as disabling fast startup

[17:57] <bhosie__> ezra-s: based on the link i posted, it seems like the installer not recognizing any drives at all is caused by having the ssd in a raid setup.. not sure where to proceed from there.

[17:57] <bhosie__> yes, i do have that.

[17:58] <ezra-s> bhosie__, do you have ssd in raid?
[17:58] <bhosie__> ezra-s: i do
[17:59] <bhosie__> ezra-s: i do
[17:59] <jzbl> gustav_: if you are on openvz guest that kernel is normal, read more on openvz virtualisation.
[17:59] <gustav_> jzbl: Ok.
[17:59] <ezra-s> bhosie__, maybe there is no support for that thing yet :P I can only guess
[17:59] <jzbl> gustav_: openvz container will use the host kernel :]
[17:59] <gustav_> jzbl: Oh.
[17:59] <bhosie__> ezra-s: bummer. :(
[18:00] <gustav_> jzbl: Can I find out what version/kernel the host is running? (Sorry, I'll read the docs.)
[18:00] <jzbl> gustav_: http://openvz.org/Download/kernel/rhel6/042stab074.10
[18:00] <jzbl> gustav_: you are simply not running ubuntu kernel.
[18:00] <gustav_> ...
[18:01] <gustav_> But Ubuntu doesn't own any kernel?
[18:02] <bean> ubuntu doesn't "own" much
[18:02] <jzbl> gustav_: read some more on openvz -> http://download.openvz.org/doc/openvz-intro.pdf
[18:03] <jzbl> gustav_: it does not matter what ubuntu kernel you are running on that container.
[18:03] <gustav_> jzbl: Ok.
[18:04] <ezra-s> bhosie__ I haven't touched uefi so I cant help you much, but don't give up!
[18:04] <gustav_> I really don't know why I'm digging in this. It's not very interesting.
[18:04] <bhosie__> ezra-s: no prob. i appreciate your help
[18:04] <gustav_> I just want to know how stuff works.
[18:04] <Ahlee_> after enabling nvidia's drivers and expanding my desktop to all monitors (8 monitors across two graphics cards, nvidia quadro nvs 450s) my gnome desktop (looks like still no support for 'advanced graphics' when running multiple monitors) won't allow me to modify the menus.  The application launcher is doubled up, as is the hide/show the desktop, and i can't customize running apps. Anybody got any theories on how i can interact with the menubar? ri
[18:09] <JoeyJoeJo> What package would I have to install to get the rfcomm module?
[18:09] <zachu> .
[18:10] <A1Recon> Has anyone installed orbitron in Ubuntu??
[18:11] <gustav_> jzbl: So am I running RHEL or Ubuntu? o_O
[18:11] <gordonjcp> A1Recon: try gpredict
[18:12] <mchlbhm> So I finally got ubuntu 12.04 x64 to work. I'd much rather use gnome instead of unity. How would I do this?
[18:12] <jzbl> gustav_: you are probably on VPS hosting right? the host is RHEL with openvz kernel running couple of containers (VPSes) with some linux templates installed, one if them is your ubuntu instance.
[18:12] <kboodu> gustav_: run "cat /etc/lsb-release" or "cat /etc/redhat-release".  One of those two should exist.
[18:12] <BaldFat> mchlbhm: Just install gnome3
[18:13] <gustav_> jzbl: Yeah but.
[18:13] <gustav_> kboodu: True.
[18:13] <BaldFat> mchlbhm: I perfer unity to the crap of Gnome anything but  to each his own
[18:13] <gustav_> I run retro WindowMaker on my laptop.
[18:13] <mchlbhm> BaldFat, I just didn't like how the unity bar got in the way of games and netflix
[18:14] <mchlbhm> BaldFat, other than that, I don't mind unity
[18:14] <Ahlee_> unity falls apart on 3+ monitors.
[18:14] <BaldFat> mchlbhm: I never had that problem but I just used full screen I normally just use a tiled window manager
[18:15] <gordonjcp> ugh, tiled window managers
[18:15] <gordonjcp> what is this, 1986?
[18:15] <BaldFat> I use i3 and just pin everything with RandR
[18:15] <mchlbhm> BaldFat, How could I do that? I'm way new.
[18:15] <gordonjcp> mchlbhm: you don't want to
[18:15] <BaldFat> gordonjcp: tiled are the best thing EVER
[18:15] <gordonjcp> BaldFat: no, they really are not
[18:15] <jzbl> BaldFat: with good resolution, yes. With cheap laptop screen nope.
[18:16] <Ahlee_> Indeed. Tiled WMs are fantastic for those who want to get work done, assuming you like the paradigm.
[18:16] <gordonjcp> BaldFat: they were obsolete even before Amiga workbench killed them
[18:16] <BaldFat> mchlbhm: Well tilled window managers take a little getting into but once you get things the way you like it's awesome. But I can use it on anything my wife also uses :)
[18:16] <gordonjcp> Ahlee_: depends what you call "work"
[18:16] <mchlbhm> BaldFat, My wife is most of the reason I'm asking lol
[18:16] <BaldFat> gordonjcp: I beg to differ and I had a Amiga :P
[18:16] <gordonjcp> Ahlee_: the only people I've ever really seen with tiling WMs tend to have lots of terminals with tiny ugly dark-grey-on-dark-grey pixelly text running top
[18:16] <netlar> What is wrong with tile manager?
[18:16] <gustav_> Unity is tilish.
[18:17] <h4ckm3> My cousin is having problems after this update connecting to his "Clear" router via dchp..
[18:17] <h4ckm3> are there any known dhcp bugs you can link me to?
[18:17] <Ahlee_> I definitely fit into the lots of xterms showing lots of information in a text format.
[18:17] <BaldFat> gordonjcp: You need to do a i3 or awesome image search to see what can be done with the,
[18:17] <BaldFat> them
[18:17] <h4ckm3> that was the only network related package that was in his last set of updates
[18:18] <BaldFat> I like command line tools to most gui so i3 is perfect for me
[18:19] <gustav_> Are you comparing graphics now? Run glxspheres.
[18:19] <gordonjcp> BaldFat: I like to use the most appropriate tool for the job.  Sometimes that's a CLI, sometimes that's a GUI
[18:19] <mchlbhm> BaldFat, I went fullscreen but it still shows the bar lol
[18:19] <gordonjcp> BaldFat: this whole "CLI is everything" attitude wears off after a while ;-)
[18:20] <mchlbhm> BaldFat, I think it knows I'm new and messing with me *shake fist*
[18:20] <FloodBot1> !netsplit
[18:21] <BaldFat> gordonjcp: I said prefer mostly not CLI is God :P
[18:22] <BaldFat> mchlbhm: What bar is it the left hand side with the shortcuts?
[18:22] <Ahlee_> Fresh install, after enabling nvidia's drivers and expanding my desktop to all monitors (8 monitors across two graphics cards, nvidia quadro nvs 450s) my gnome desktop (looks like still no support for 'advanced graphics' when running multiple monitors) won't allow me to modify the menus.  The application launcher is doubled up, as is the hide/show the desktop, and i can't customize running apps. Anybody got any theories on how i can interact with
[18:23] <betrayd> interact with...?
[18:23] <mchlbhm> BaldFat,  yes
[18:23] <BaldFat> Ahlee_: I would say the ONLY real fix is to do it with Arandr
[18:24] <betrayd> Arandr is a bandaid
[18:24] <BaldFat> mchlbhm: I am not on a unity machine right now but you can make it auto hide
[18:24] <betrayd> use the real deal xorg.conf
[18:24] <mchlbhm> BaldFat, Thank you for your time and help.
[18:24] <BaldFat> betrayd: arandr bandaid? it writes directly to X???? How is that any less
[18:24] <Ahlee_> I'm unfamiliar with arandr. I will read up
[18:24] <andygraybeal> what is the best way to get videos from youtube?
[18:24] <Ahlee_> betrayd: like, I can not customize, etc.
[18:25] <betrayd> he's got nvidia xorg going
[18:25] <BaldFat> Ahlee_: it makes writting to x.org conf file simple
[18:25] <betrayd> oh pppfffft gnome? my bad, BaldFat arandr it should be
[18:25] <Ahlee_> for example, I have two copies of the launcher applet right next to each other, and the only thing I can do is left click to bring up the menu
[18:25] <ro9> i have problem setting up rails dev env in ubuntu 12.04
[18:26] <Ahlee_> betrayd: any other suggestions than gnome? Unity is a nonstarter without compiz afaik, right?
[18:26] <Ahlee_> honestly I'm open to changing things up. I just need to know where to start.
[18:26] <betrayd> compiz, like in the cube?
[18:26] <Ahlee_> I'm in no-man's-land running this many displays. It's just not something people document it seems
[18:27] <Ahlee_> whatever linux's method of doing acceleration is. sorry, I don't typically use linux on desktops (for this reason specifically, actually)
[18:27] <betrayd> are they all same sized monitors...
[18:27] <Ahlee_> Yes.
[18:27] <BaldFat> betrayd: what? Gnome pppfffttt ? I just never have liked gnome anything for over 10 years. Was KDE fan boy for ever
[18:28] <betrayd> no that first opart was at Ahlee_
[18:28] <betrayd> lol
[18:29] <BaldFat> andygraybeal: youtube-dl
[18:29] <binbasti> hi
[18:29] <BaldFat> andygraybeal: or cclive
[18:29] <Ahlee_> I removed the two widescreen monitors and replaced them with the same 1280x1024 screens as I already knew it'd be unnecessarily difficult getting hte 8 screens working, let alone different resolutions.
[18:29] <Ahlee_> I try this about once a year for the last 4 or 5 years, and it hasn't gotten any better.
[18:30] <BaldFat> Ahlee_ I have friends that have 6 working in Linux no problem but he does it for sysadmin
[18:30] <betrayd> Ahlee_: considering your in uncharted territory gnome was a good bet though for multihead
[18:30] <andygraybeal> thank you BaldFat
[18:31] <Ahlee_> BaldFat: usually i get further than this and actually have an environment I can modify, this appears to be strictly gnome issue as other than being unable to modify the taskbar/launchers it's functional
[18:31] <betrayd> Ahlee_: 1 X server for each card?
[18:32] <Ahlee_> betrayd: Each card apparently has two display cores, so there appears to be four servers running, each with twinview across its pair
[18:32] <binbasti> i have a weird issue with having updated nginx from the ppa, but it still using the old version. when i search it seems that there's only one nginx installed: http://pastie.org/pastes/7903658/text
[18:33] <binbasti> maybe somebody can point me in the right direction?
[18:33] <BaldFat> Ahlee_: run this as root in command line nvidia-settings
[18:34] <Ahlee_> BaldFat: aye, that is how i enabled the addtional displays
[18:34] <Pici> binbasti: the nginx executable comes from the nginx-full package.
[18:34] <binbasti> Pici: ah, thanks!
[18:34] <BaldFat> Ahlee_: I really do believe when you get over 3 monitors cli is best to get this setup the way you want
[18:35] <andygraybeal> BaldFat,  is there a graphical version of one of these programs?
[18:35] <netlar> Anyone in here having problems with Unity's login screen?
[18:35] <Ahlee_> BaldFat: I'm a-ok with that. Is that what arandr is going to provide?
[18:36] <BaldFat> Ahlee_: Yes arandr is a gui for setting up  monitors
[18:36] <betrayd> andygraybeal: you might as well use downloadhelper plgin/addon then or something
[18:36] <andygraybeal> betrayd, thank you
[18:36] <Ahlee_> BaldFat: ok. I do not have RandR extension, however
[18:36] <LFS> ubuntu download center is showing me two entries for installed libtheora *libtheora-dev & libtheora0* but I keep receiving errors whenever I try to ./configure packages --enable-libtheora
[18:36] <BaldFat> andygraybeal: Just copy the url after youtube-dl and your done
[18:36] <LFS> can anyone suggest a solution?
[18:37] <betrayd> andygraybeal: but still search in synaptic, somebody may have coded a GUI by now
[18:37] <andygraybeal> BaldFat, cool, it's not for me.. it's for me.. but i will let her know how to use it.
[18:37] <BaldFat> andygraybeal: you can do a million other things with it, but if you just want to grab a video youtube-dl and url is the fastest
[18:37] <hdon> hi all :) how can i change the number / layout of workspaces in unity?
[18:37] <andygraybeal> thanks guys
[18:38] <Ahlee_> hrm, wonder if this is all once again xinerama
[18:39] <sam113101> HELP
[18:39] <Pici> sam113101: you need to ask a question first.
[18:39] <betrayd> Ahlee_: xinerama might get it to view as one giant wall/side for compiz though
[18:39] <sam113101> there are .wmv files that I can't read
[18:39] <BaldFat> Ahlee_: I use 3 monitors at home with 3 different resolutions. Just have an issue when I want to go to HDMI on my TV it can get flacky
[18:39] <Ahlee_> betrayd: eh, i don't care about compiz.
[18:39] <LFS> great support room
[18:39] <Ahlee_> it was more a statement that I can't have the "fancy" stuff
[18:40] <Ahlee_> thank you though, betrayd.
[18:40] <BaldFat> sam113101: those are windows music files.  I wish everything was just ogg and flac and than everyone could do whatever with their music easily
[18:41] <betrayd> no, ignore me, BaldFats is the way to go
[18:41] <betrayd>  +1
[18:42] <sam113101> this plugin is installed already
[18:42] <sam113101> I can read most of wmv files but not those
[18:42] <BaldFat> so try this mplayer <music file> what is the output on commandline? (Sorry command line is in my blood for over 30 years)
[18:43] <BaldFat> sam113101: or better get vlc
[18:44] <BaldFat> sam113101: Download restricted-extras I believe for wmv
[18:45] <sam113101> http://pastie.org/7903725
[18:46] <sam113101> http://pastie.org/7903728
[18:46] <sam113101> (vlc doesn't work either)
[18:48] <BaldFat> sam113101: have these ever played? When vlc fails usually it is a damaged video
[18:48] <sam113101> "VLC no soporta el formato de audio o vídeo «MSS2»."
[18:49] <sam113101> BaldFat: they never played, but my guess is they would work on windows
[18:50] <ali4ever4> whats the best way to get used to linux shell ! , i mean i know about: cd, ls, mk, and other most used commands but what should be the next step i see people can do what ever they want by scripting in shell how to reach their level !!
[18:50] <ezra-s> sam113101, "WMAPro-in-WMAVoice support not implemented."
[18:51] <BaldFat> sam113101: My guess is they won't
[18:51] <BaldFat> ali4ever4: are you serious :)
[18:51] <ezra-s> the second paste says it clearly
[18:51] <BaldFat> missed the second post
[18:52] <sam113101> ezra-s: is it implemented in some player?
[18:52] <vsMS> I've upgrade my raid1 based Ubuntu Server with two new 3TB hard disks. But on the PV I only have 2TB. Can someone help?
[18:52] <BaldFat> if it wont play in vlc or mplayer I don't think there is another way
[18:52] <ezra-s> sam113101, how would I know? probably windows media player :o)
[18:53] <ali4ever4> BaldFat, well i am a kind of noob in linux and ubuntu so may be i am over thinking about what could be possible but really wanna get to the next level and would need some tips on what should do to get there
[18:53] <ezra-s> sam113101, if under ubuntu when you try to use totem it searches for the codecs and if they exist it tells you which packages to install to play the stream you try to play
[18:54] <c_nick> Consider if 3 people want to share content then using dropbox all three will get the same copy of the content . but what if three wanna but only one will get the files and others can be given  of a download link and will download only if required by the user
[18:54] <BaldFat> ali4ever4: well I am a cli nerd but most people don't have to ever touch the command line unless you want to. Tons of resources on the internet on tutorials on bash
[18:54] <gordonjcp> ali4ever4: the most important thing first - do you *need* to write CLI scripts?
[18:54] <BaldFat> c_nick: just share it to everyone they have the option to synch or download
[18:55] <BaldFat> <---- likes writting cli scripts
[18:55] <gordonjcp> BaldFat: right, but presumably you have some purpose for doing so ;-)
[18:55] <betrayd> first off get rid of that gui irc client ali4ever4
[18:55] <ezra-s> BaldFat, bash scripting is very helpful, has been for me
[18:55] <ezra-s> :)
[18:56] <mdfe> sam113101, i believ ethe codec for that is not yet ported to 64bit: try samplayer
[18:56] <ezra-s> betrayd, what you like best does not have to be the best for others
[18:56] <ali4ever4> BaldFat, I feel it is cool to be on command line and the ability of doing everything just by typing command instead of using mouse and GUIs
[18:56] <betrayd> use ii for irc and vim as your input mode =)
[18:56] <betrayd> its not what i like best
[18:57] <ali4ever4> gordonjcp, would like to try to use the computer only by doing that
[18:57] <ezra-s> ali4ever4, I use xchat for irc, it's very easy to use
[18:57] <theoretick> is there a simple solution to figure out what the 'other package' is whenever I apt-get with "Package xxxxxx is not available, but is referred to by another package"
[18:57] <BaldFat> ali4ever4: These guys are talking crap weechat > everything else
[18:57] <ali4ever4> betrayd, are their command line based irc clients !! wow that will be cool to use
[18:58] <Pici> !offtopic
[18:58] <Pici> !best
[18:58] <ezra-s> betrayd, you're telling a newbie to use a console irc client, which can be frustating for them if they don't have enough experience in the cli
[18:58] <juniour> hi want to sync my some filesystem folder to cloud but i cant help me
[18:58] <djshotglass> i have a pc that i have to reboot every time the monitor goes off
[18:59] <djshotglass> i can remote desktop it but monitor refuses to come back on once its turned off
[18:59] <djshotglass> how can i stop it from turning off
[18:59] <Prock81> tring to install google-chrome-stable and i get this ... Ubuntu Software Center say: Dependency is not satisfiable: libudev0 (>= 147)
[18:59] <BaldFat> ali4ever4: I do it because I grew up doing it, but I know people love short cut keys and typing so if you want just see what you like.
[18:59] <BaldFat> ali4ever4: Just need to easy into it and just go slowly and if its not for oyu its OK you can do everything
[18:59] <BaldFat> Also weechat is the best cli irc client since iiris is abandon ware
[18:59] <mdfe> Prock81 install libudev
[18:59] <ali4ever4> BaldFat, well i am a developer (ASP.NET developer) ok but not really Microsoft fan, trying to move to Linux and scripting world and really find it a very different and cool place
[18:59] <Pici> juniour: Please state what you've tried and what isn't working.
[18:59] <ezra-s> djshotglass, system settings - brightness&Lock option
[19:00] <Prock81> oh i tried it with the zero on it
[19:00] <mdfe> Prock81, https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=226002 <-- link there
[19:00] <BaldFat> ali4ever4: It is a cool place. If you really want to try this I would suggest learning vim for a month and go on from there
[19:00] <ali4ever4> BaldFat, thanks for the tip
[19:00] <BaldFat> ali4ever4: also search for ncurses programs
[19:00] <ezra-s> ali4ever4, if you are a developer and remember .bat files you will find bash is much better, bat with steroids! :P
[19:00] <andygraybeal> is everyone using 'insync' for the google drive?
[19:00] <betrayd> ali4ever4: weechat for irc, then work or fix on the scripts/plugins
[19:01] <ali4ever4> ezra-s, well have not done a lot with bat files
[19:01] <BaldFat> betrayd: what script is broken that you use? I only  use a few myself
[19:02] <lmat> I'm having the same problem as this guy http://askubuntu.com/questions/173472
[19:02] <lmat> Nautilus will mount the drive, but `mount` will not.
[19:02] <BaldFat> ali4ever4: Well it really is a mid level scripting language. You can just go python or perl and both of those are on all Linux boxes
[19:02] <lmat> using cifs or smbfs. I see lots of examples online but none using a domain. the options for domains are published, but I (we?) can't get it to work :(
[19:02] <_thufir_> I've installed libsane-extras-common  libsane-extras  libsane   libsane-common  but the Samsung unified printer driver keeps asking for the SANE api.  what am I missing?  on 13.04
[19:03] <ezra-s> ali4ever4, because they are too simple, but bash under Linux is awesome.. also for developing it's easy to start just from commandline, ubuntu comes by default with a few compilers and interpreters, and others are very easy to install, c,c++, python, perl...
[19:03] <mdfe> lmat, do you hae cifs-utils installed?
[19:03] <BaldFat> ali4ever4: lmat I bash my head all the time getting cifs setup :(

[19:18] <CharlieSu> Anyone ever seen this error when doing SSH or SFTP?  https://gist.github.com/CharlieSu/dad257faaa51c1b8ea51  (rsync error: protocol incompatibility (code 2) at compat.c(173) [sender=3.0.7])
[19:19] <Pici> Prock81: Have you tried installing libcanberra-gtk3-module and/or libcanberra-gtk-module ?
[19:19] <Prock81> jaqque all i can say is i just installed 13.04 last night and i can switch to other TTY's Crtl+Alt+F1
[19:19] <jaqque> Prock81: ttys are one thing
[19:20] <jaqque> i am talking about Unity workspaces
[19:20] <ezra-s> jaqque, check your keyboard bindings
[19:20] <Prock81> i see what u saying now
[19:20] <ezra-s> I find ctrl+shift+arrow is much better to move between desktops
[19:21] <Prock81> Pici one of them is allready installed ill check hte other
[19:21] <jaqque> ezra-s: i went through Prefereces -> Keyboard -> Shortcuts and the only thing listed with Alt-F1 and Alt-F2 is Switch to Desktop X; alt-f3 and alt-f4 work as expected
[19:22] <jaqque> (it would be easier if Chrome didn;t decide on it's own that alt-f4 was Close Window, but that's a Google issue, not Ununtu)
[19:23] <Prock81> Pici both are allready installed
[19:23] <ChogyDan> jaqque: I think alt+f4 is an ubuntu thing
[19:23] <lmat_> mdfe: yes, I do have cifs-utils installed
[19:23] <lmat_> ezra-s: What libraries does nautilis use!? And how can I use them!?
[19:23] <ezra-s> jaqque, maybe you can find/tweak that through gconf
[19:24] <ezra-s> lmat_, I am no expert but I think nautilus uses fuse, in any case, it's not hard to install what you need to mount manually
[19:24] <jaqque> ChogyDan: it *was* - but i disabled that. gnome-terminal is ignoring alt-f4, but chrome simply closes
[19:24] <ezra-s> lmat_, let me check
[19:24] <ChogyDan> jaqque: how do you disable it?
[19:24] <Prock81> why did i have to try alt+f4 thinking hte wm would do something else, cause i read ur message lol
[19:25] <ezra-s> lmat_, in earlier versions you would jsut need smbfs but It has changed now.. check if you have "cifs-utils" installed
[19:25] <jaqque> ChogyDan: System Settings... -> Keyboard -> Shortcuts -> Windows -> Close window -> Disabled
[19:25] <ChogyDan> jaqque: nm, got it, backspace
[19:25] <lmat_> ezra-s: I do.
[19:25] <esperegu> is there an audio player that automatically goes to the next song in a folder when a song is finished? (no I do not want to add the whole folder, neither a playlist)
[19:26] <chro> how can I see which processes are using port 60020 ?
[19:26] <ezra-s> lmat_, and what do you get when you try mount -t cifs //ip/share /mymountpoint with root? (just for testing)
[19:26] <jaqque> esperegu: mpg123 /path/to/directory/*.mp3    ?   that works well for me
[19:26] <jaqque> esperegu: ogg123 /path/to/.../*.ogg for Ogg Vorbis
[19:26] <esperegu> jaqque: I need to just click on the file and then it needs to progress
[19:26] <Prock81> Pici, or anyone, here is another Gtk-Message: Failed to load module "overlay-scrollbar": liboverlay-scrollbar.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
[19:27] <ChogyDan> jaqque: it looks like you have to use ccsm
[19:27] <john-mcaleely> is there a good place to find people using retina MacBooks with ubuntu?
[19:27] <chro> how can I see which processes are using port 60020 ?
[19:27] <esperegu> jaqque: so it plays the file I select and everything newer
[19:27] <lmat_> ezra-s: It prompts for password.
[19:27] <jaqque> ChogyDan: i was really hoping to avoid that. my research is indicating that the law of uninitended consequences runs deep in that tool
[19:27] <lmat_> ezra-s: I give password, then mount error(13): Permission denied
[19:28] <lmat_> ezra-s: I went ahead and added the username and domain name and get the same result.
[19:28] <jaqque> esperegu: newer? as in timestamp?
[19:28] <ChogyDan> jaqque: well, I think the only other way should be to edit the config files yourself
[19:28] <esperegu> jaqque: yes. but they are in order in the folder also
[19:28] <ezra-s> lmat_ the share is correct? the user have permissions for that share?
[19:28] <esperegu> they named name-001.ogg name-002.ogg etc.
[19:28] <jaqque> esperegu: i wonder if audacious can pretty much do that by default
[19:28] <ezra-s> lmat_, you manage to load the same exact share with the same exact user/password combination with nautilus?
[19:28] <lmat_> ezra-s: It works via nautilus :)
[19:28] <brontosaurusrex> can i get this: chmod a+w+x-r u+r ./drop into onliner that actually works?
[19:29] <lmat_> ezra-s: yes :)
[19:29] <ro9> is it reasonable to upgrade 12.04 to 13.04
[19:29] <ezra-s> lmat_, I don't believe you!!! :P hehehe
[19:29] <lmat_> ezra-s: you know... it may be that I need to restart.
[19:29] <esperegu> jaqque: I tried it but it did not continue playing when I opened a file
[19:29] <ezra-s> lmat_, no way
[19:29] <ChogyDan> jaqque: and for chrome, I used to use an extension to change the shortcuts, but it only worked so so
[19:29] <lmat_> ezra-s: I noticed that once, I logged out and logged in and I couldn't mount it using nautilis anymore!
[19:29] <lmat_> ezra-s: Perhaps something's getting stuck...
[19:30] <betrayd> Prock81: that means you have upgraded gtk  but using a theme that was absed on a prior gtk version. these are warnings. ignore them
[19:30] <ezra-s> lmat_, you are not using samba as server, it is really a windows share right?
[19:30] <ChogyDan> jaqque: (fwiw, mapping specific workspaces to certain shortcuts sounds like a cool idea, im going to try it)
[19:30] <jaqque> ChogyDan: which is why i'd rather simply have Unity eat alt-f4; but it should do something useful. i've been using Window Maker for well over a decade, and using alt-fX to get to desktop X. hard to re-train fingers.
[19:30] <lmat_> ezra-s: correct.
[19:30] <jaqque> ChogyDan: and it's painful when alt-f4 closes a dozen tabs.
[19:31] <ChogyDan> jaqque: you can always just reopen them, shift+ctrl+t
[19:31] <jaqque> ChogyDan: oh - i have alt-f3 and alt-f4 switching ot desktop 3 and 4; but Unity is ingoring my request to have alt-f1 and alt-f2 do the desltop thing
[19:32] <jaqque> ChogyDan: settings -L keyboard -> shortcuts -> navigation -> switch to workstpace X
[19:32] <Prock81>  betrayd well those errors was from a terminal tring to run vmware, vmware works but the dialog box to allow me to register it will not show, im tring to figure out why
[19:33] <Prock81> button presses but the next window / dialog box wont show
[19:33] <betrayd> Prock81: try to fin the theme that that vmware is using for gtk but then you'd be troubleshooting vmware and not ubuntu
[19:33] <Prock81> would 12.04 give me hte same problem
[19:33] <betrayd> sure you want to do this
[19:34] <betrayd> quit with the VMs, theres liveSessions that are lesss painful
[19:34] <Prock81> i do notice its menu bar stays on hte program window and not the window manager and not like the Mac does
[19:35] <sideeffect> someone owns htc desire c?
[19:35] <ezra-s> lmat_, is it a share in windows 8?
[19:36] <lmat_> ezra-s: It's a server exposing the share, probably windows server 2008, but I'm not usre.
[19:36] <lmat_> suer
[19:36] <lmat_> eh
[19:36] <Prock81> i have Mac Os X 10.8.3 running and working with vmware, its just on this os i cant play it cause i cant regiseter
[19:36] <wilee-nilee> sideeffect, This is ubuntu support state your problem for help.
[19:37] <sideeffect> just wanted ask about its booting time ^^
[19:37] <Pici> sideeffect: #android might be a better place to ask, or at least closer to being on-topic there.
[19:37] <ChogyDan> jaqque: fwiw, I used ccsm to disable the shortcuts.  It is under Unity.  It is a bit of a confusing tool
[19:37] <sideeffect> thx
[19:37] <Prock81> so how can i make hte vmware gtk or what ever work with this ubuntu?
[19:38] <ezra-s> lmat_, I don't know how to help you further if you get the password prompt from mount -t cifs... for me aside from my own screwups that always works
[19:39] <lmat_> ezra-s: thanks for your time :)
[19:39] <ezra-s> lmat_, I wish you good luck, youll fix it soon, you'll see
[19:39] <SpArTaKo> alguien que me ayude por que se ve asi ?
[19:39] <SpArTaKo> http://ge.tt/2Iz3tYg/v/0?c
[19:40] <Sven_vB> is there a way how to detect the previous 2 or 3 startup times?
[19:40] <wilee-nilee> SpArTaKo, english please
[19:40] <Pici> !es | SpArTaKo
[19:41] <jaqque> ChogyDan: yup. there they are. i see them in CCSM.
[19:41] <Sven_vB> ok found it
[19:41] <SpArTaKo> http://ge.tt/2Iz3tYg/v/0?c help me   My desktop only charging a watch images of icons that? I have 4 GB of RAM
[19:41] <ChogyDan> Sven_vB: there is a java program that maps out your startup, I forget the name
[19:42] <betrayd> Prock81: you were able to get thre registration window in the Mac osx'
[19:43] <Sven_vB> ChogyDan, nevermind. i've found a kernel that logs my startup time into the syslog ;)
[19:43] <Prock81> on another distro yes
[19:43] <SpArTaKo> tsss banearon me a year ago one of the owners ubuntu channel in Spanish.
[19:44] <Prock81> once vm is playing it all will be good, but before i can play i have to register, the dialog box will not show up so i can register
[19:44] <betrayd> Prock81: that distro, try to see what gtk version it has, thats one option you have, say you want to match your buntu with that, but It might lead you to pre-12.04
[19:44] <SpArTaKo> was better in Debian do not know why the hell back to Ubuntu .. are neither shared nor pure tolerant nothing Posser
[19:45] <Prock81> im on 13.04, could 12.04 solve the problem or is gtk the same on that one
[19:45] <Prock81> the other distro was backtrack
[19:45] <the_misfit_> my sdhc card mounts if i restart ubuntu [13.04] but not just by sliding it in, anyone know a workaround?
[19:46] <SpArTaKo> I'll change nick and it exacted as one owner of Spanish ubuntu Anyway thank you very much and I hope you find the Ubuntu. Muslim jihad seem
[19:46] <SpArTaKo> Good bye
[19:46] <juniour> hi y i am getting two different enteried for crontab when i use crontab -e i get one and sudo crontab -e i get different y???
[19:46] <balachmar> I am having a problem installing 13.04 on my system. The upgrade failed, but the installer is giving me problems as well. It boots and then when you should be able to select the installation type it stays empty: https://owncloud.wligtenberg.nl/public.php?service=files&t=3de9d7b808a91cfc69d0b6e159216be2
[19:46] <balachmar>  And whenever I click on the change or (+/-) it crashes...
[19:46] <tinti> does any body know the reason of the easter egg "this apt-get has the powers of supper cow"
[19:47] <betrayd> the_misfit_: an entry in /etc/fstab than forget it once it works
[19:47] <BAMbanda> hi guys. im trying to connect to the internet via wifi and have it setup for dhcp. a dialogue box keeps popping up to request my password, but it never connects to the internet
[19:48] <Pici> juniour: because you and root have separate crontabs.
[19:48] <the_misfit_> betrayd: could you be more specific please?
[19:48] <juniour> Pici which one should i use???
[19:48] <Prock81>  the_misfit_ mine mounts by sliding it in .... and she likes it .... maybe a hardware/driver issue
[19:48] <Pici> juniour: it depends how you want your command to run.
[19:48] <the_misfit_> Prock81: nah has to be software because it mounts on boot, no?
[19:49] <nichole90> hello smartpeople! How can I add a script to startup? Thanks

[19:49] <Pici> juniour: yes, but be careful.
[19:49] <ChogyDan> nichole90: you can use upstart
[19:49] <juniour> k
[19:50] <the_misfit_> betrayd: ive got automount on ya
[19:50] <betrayd> the_misfit_: an entry in /etc/fstab then
[19:50] <nichole90> hello people, how can I add a script to startup, so it runs at startup each time my ubuntu boots up?
[19:50] <juniour> Pici i have to make backup of my /var/www/ at midnight
[19:50] <juniour> Pici and i cant do it without root previliges, so i have to go for root??
[19:50] <Prock81> . @  betrayd & the_misfit_ i never saw an option to turn automount off so why should he have to turn it on ???
[19:51] <Pici> juniour: you tell me. I don't know how you have the permissions on /var/www/ setup.
[19:51] <the_misfit_> Prock81: its on by default yeah
[19:51] <riddrib> Where can open hosting free?
[19:52] <the_misfit_> riddrib: what do you want to host for free?
[19:52] <nichole90> hello people, how can I add a script to startup, so it runs at startup each time my ubuntu boots up?

[19:52] <BAMbanda> nichole90, try this website: http://en.kioskea.net/faq/3348-ubuntu-executing-a-script-at-startup-and-shutdown
[19:52] <guntbert_> juniour: if you *really* need a shell with root privileges, the "best solution" depends on the Ubuntu version you are running - 13.04 or older?
[19:52] <riddrib> I make store online!
[19:52] <juniour> 12.04 LTS
[19:52] <wilee-nilee> you make non sense on channel
[19:53] <riddrib> the the universe is big to said a simple question
[19:53] <guntbert_> juniour: in that case you get a root shell with    sudo -i       don't forget to end it after the job
[19:54] <gustav_> Is there a big war going on? I just want to ask.
[19:54] <BAMbanda> anyone want to help me get on the internet? please :)
[19:54] <BAMbanda> gustav: yes there is. look st the news
[19:54] <Pici> gustav_: I'm not sure how that question in any context would have anything to do with Ubuntu support.
[19:56] <juniour> Pici i need to backup /var/www directoty at midnight, sudo tar -zcf backup.tar /var/www
[19:56] <DIFH-iceroot> how to suspend (to ram) a pc with ssh?
[19:56] <BAMbanda> i keep getting a dialogue box asking for my password, but i keep entering and still cant get on the internet
[19:56] <Pici> juniour: you should put an absolute path for your backup tar, and since you're using -z, you should use backup.tar.gz
[19:56] <BAMbanda> DIFH-iceroot, ctrl + c
[19:57] <DIFH-iceroot> BAMbanda: no
[19:57] <juniour> kk
[19:57] <joshs> can someone tell me what to do to stop my screen from dimming? after it does a popup comes up that says a script has stopped working.
[19:57] <riddrib> ok How can setup my ubuntu to hosting?
[19:57] <k-stz> BAMbanda: I know that behavior from not working internet in general. Try to wait a while, o
[19:58] <DIFH-iceroot> riddrib: hosting what?
[19:59] <k-stz> BAMbanda: restart router (but only if you know what your doing)
[19:59] <Grahame> Help(ignorant): My wife's Ubuntu 10.04 suddenly won't allow printing on USB laserjet; requires "authentication" which fails. How to fix this. I reninstalled cups: no luck.
[19:59] <Prock81> DIFH-iceroot just have the hibernate command installed on the machine ur ssh -ing into, ive done that before
[19:59] <gustav_> Ubuntu is more than an OS. --Shuttleworth
[19:59] <BAMbanda> k-stz, are u sure its that simple?
[19:59] <wilee-nilee> Grahame, 10.04 is end of life.
[20:00] <k-stz> BAMbanda: your using wlan right?
[20:00] <DIFH-iceroot> Prock81: michael@bestbuntu:~$ apt-file search hibernate
[20:00] <DIFH-iceroot> michael@bestbuntu:~$
[20:00] <k-stz> BAMbanda: ah sorry of course you do haha
[20:00] <BAMbanda> k-stz, yes
[20:00] <yoritomo> Xubuntu 12.04 is a good deal, i have been sad as well to leave 10.04
[20:00] <emif-> guys any idea how to update bios?
[20:01] <k-stz> BAMbanda: well problemsolving can be very not straightforward for wlan
[20:01] <Grahame> wilee-nilee: Yes, but this is a Linux problem,no?  I need help. The latest 12.04 ubuntu is horrible!
[20:01] <wilee-nilee> Grahame, eol has no support basically.
[20:01] <DIFH-iceroot> emif-: depending on the bios. have a look at your manual from your board, its not os specific
[20:01] <yoritomo> emif- you can't under linux, download hiren's boot cd and run minixp in live, then flash your bios
[20:01] <Prock81> i belive its called something different but suppiled the hibernate command
[20:01] <BAMbanda> k-stz: so first step is to power cycle the router right?
[20:01] <emif-> wow, long process
[20:02] <DIFH-iceroot> Prock81: i have the suspend command but that is not able to suspend when using ssh, just on the local shell
[20:02] <Prock81> search ubuntu command line hibernate howto
[20:02] <wilee-nilee> yoritomo, bad advice most bos updates have an easier methid a bootable flash.
[20:02] <alex_fun> hey folks
[20:02] <Grahame> wilee-nilee: Hm.  Can you possibly recommend a Linux help forum for me, I need to find out about this (or wife will deny food etc.).? Please. --G
[20:02] <alex_fun> whats the easiest way to burn 693 mb to dvd rw?
[20:03] <yoritomo> wilee-nilee, i do it once a week at my computer shop and i never got any crash
[20:03] <alex_fun> ubuntu iso
[20:03] <alex_fun> I am using nero its saying image got to be less than 600MB
[20:03] <BAMbanda> Grahame, linuxquestions.org
[20:03] <wilee-nilee> yoritomo, What you do and what the channel allows for advice is not the same. Hirens is not even a linux thing.
[20:03] <ali4ever> nickserv identify 899160
[20:03] <alex_fun> :)
[20:03] <k-stz> BAMbanda: the thing with the antenna.. wait 30sec, then plug back in. Make sure you dont annoy any housemates :)... but in the meantime test if it just works again
[20:04] <Prock81> alex_fun try # aptitude install k3b
[20:04] <balachmar> @ali4ever I am not sure that you wanted to do that...
[20:04] <BAMbanda> k-stz, thats difficult when our phone is connected to the internet XD
[20:05] <OrgOfTheBogPeopl> hey. i'd like to add some functionality to my laptop's touchpad but have no idea where to get started. any tips?
[20:05] <Prock81> alex_fun k3b is what i use to burn iso's , soo easy
[20:05] <yoritomo> wilee-nilee, linux and windows are in hiren's
[20:05] <yoritomo> and i am a professionnal linux user , i would not recommend otherwise
[20:05] <ali4ever> balachmar, sorry ?!
[20:05] <k-stz> BAMbanda: well then i wouldn't. Did you got it to work ever?
[20:06] <DIFH-iceroot> alex_fun: use the default installed brasero
[20:06] <wilee-nilee> OrgOfTheBogPeopl, google your setup and release, or give some description of what yiou want.
[20:06] <alex_fun> brasero? I am on win
[20:06] <OerHeks> yoritomo, hirens contains an illegal xp session,  please advise ubcd or like
[20:06] <alex_fun> I burned it once it wont boot
[20:06] <DIFH-iceroot> Prock81: for k3b you have to install a lot of kde libs, so brasero is fine (but i like k3b more)
[20:06] <Grahame> BAMbanda: Thanks, will co. --G
[20:06] <alex_fun> weird
[20:06] <DIFH-iceroot> alex_fun: when you are on windows, ask in ##windows how to burn an iso
[20:06] <BAMbanda> k-stz, when i first installed ubuntu, but recently ive been have problems. it works fine on my windows partition, but not on my ubuntu partition
[20:06] <alex_fun> ok ok
[20:06] <alex_fun> :D
[20:07] <wilee-nilee> hirens is not even allowed on the ##windows channel.
[20:07] <BAMbanda> k-stz, someone mentioned that my router might be confused because i have the same mac address and recommended that i use static, but i couldnt get that to work either :(
[20:07] <wilee-nilee> !enter > alex_fun
[20:08] <alex_fun> ubottu is a bot
[20:08] <alex_fun> :)
[20:08] <juniour> Pici i added this 35 1 * * * /home/juniour/backupsite.sh to crontab but it dident worked y??
[20:08] <Prock81> brb
[20:09] <OrgOfTheBogPeopl> wilee-nilee: 12.04 LTS, when i drag something using the touchpad, it releases as soon as i let go of the touchpad. i want it to continue dragging until i tap again. it's just a free time curiosity project.
[20:09] <juniour> Pici ./backupsite.sh works when i start with shell
[20:09] <k-stz> BAMbanda: ok, so you've been tinkering with the router settings?
[20:09] <alex_fun> if most people like to use shorter sentences whats the point to try to make them write longer ones?
[20:09] <wilee-nilee> OrgOfTheBogPeopl, The channel not me is your help.
[20:09] <alex_fun> I can for example disable sounds in irc client this way short ot long does not matter :D
[20:10] <BAMbanda> k-stz, yea and i tried adding my ubuntu as a static ip but it didnt get internet. idk whats up with it. its so frustrating because i really like linux
[20:10] <DIFH-iceroot> juniour: is the file executable? is there a shebang set in the script? i bet cron is executing your command but your script is wrong/not execuatble
[20:10] <DIFH-iceroot> juniour: see /var/log/syslog
[20:10] <Tex_Nick> alex_fun : on windoZe i've used CDBurnerXP ... it's easy to use with some good features
[20:11] <alex_fun> Tex_Nick that is what I used, and it would not boot
[20:11] <wilee-nilee> alex_fun, If you want people to follow you, you have to consolidate the info no matter your default way of communicating, the world revolves around all of us not you.
[20:12] <OrgOfTheBogPeopl> in that case, does anyone know what package controls touchpad input or a good way of searching all the packages?
[20:12] <k-stz> BAMbanda: well it works on your windows - same machine. You want DHCP, and did you perhaps limit the ip range?

[20:18] <wilee-nilee> jondoe, Back it up first, or even clone it if you want insurance.
[20:18] <juniour> see here http://pastebin.com/u1jDzA6c and help
[20:18] <jondoe> alright thanks
[20:18] <BluesKaj> jondoe, yes aslong as you update and upgrade your existing system/packages first , and to be safe disable any ppas
[20:19] <jondoe> should probably get a live cd and put it on a stick too
[20:19] <jondoe> just in case.

[20:27] <alex_fun> FreeBSD64 you mean to add them to iso? no. I run ati 6770
[20:27] <ali4ever4> so if i wanna depend on command line for the most of my work vim is important to know ?!
[20:27] <FreeBSD64> ali4ever4: yeah its good
[20:27] <FreeBSD64> nano does basic stuff
[20:28] <Prock81> what is dmks
[20:28] <FreeBSD64> depends what you need, i like vim
[20:28] <jondoe> if i've manually updated the kernel to 3.8.3, will it get upgraded to 3.8.8 on release upgrade?
[20:28] <Tex_Nick> alex_fun : i use mostly USB sticks for that now though ... i do like to keep distros on DVD as well though
[20:28] <juniour> nano is not good
[20:28] <ali4ever4> FreeBSD64: i see , thanks
[20:28] <juniour> vim rocks
[20:28] <johnjohn101> Tex_Nick: how big of a usb do you use?
[20:28] <ali4ever4> juniour: vim is a gui thing right ?!
[20:28] <juniour> hi
[20:29] <FreeBSD64> ali4ever4: no thats gvin
[20:29] <FreeBSD64> m
[20:29] <Tex_Nick> alex_fun : the smallest USB stick i have now is a 8GB
[20:29] <alex_fun> Tex_Nick:  could  it be that install cant find ati radeon 6700 driver hence blue screen?
[20:29] <FreeBSD64> ali4ever4: plain vim is text only
[20:29] <juniour> ali4ever4 nope
[20:29] <ali4ever4> FreeBSD64: , juniour then whats the different between vim and vi
[20:30] <FreeBSD64> ali4ever4: just use vim
[20:30] <theadmin> ali4ever4: vi is old and hardly has any functionality, while Vim is extremely functional and still updated
[20:30] <FreeBSD64> ali4ever4: vi is bad compared
[20:30] <Tex_Nick> alex_fun : UMmmm are you trying to burn a Win ISO or Ubuntu ?
[20:30] <theadmin> Ubuntu doesn't provide vi, infact, the "vi" binary on a default Ubuntu installation is vim-tiny, a reduced version of Vim
[20:30] <ali4ever4> theadmin: i see thanks
[20:30] <juniour> FreeBSD64 vi-->vim improves
[20:30] <alex_fun> Tex_Nick:  UBuntu~
[20:31] <ali4ever4> FreeBSD64: thanks a lot , any good source of information to get to know my way through vim
[20:31] <emif-> each time i play a dvd i get this message, dvd:///dev/dvd'. Check the log for details.
[20:31] <emif-> though my dvd rom is running just fine
[20:31] <Shogoot> i cant find it on google. does it exists a pastebin version for redhat?
[20:32] <FreeBSD64> ali4ever4: google for a vim cheat sheet so you know the basic keys
[20:33] <emif-> guys help pls
[20:33] <keldwud> I've some notes on vim that I took from a class recently, you want the link ali4ever4?
[20:33] <ali4ever4> FreeBSD64: thanks a lot you were very helpful , will look for a cheat sheet have it printed and mounted everywhere around my desk
[20:33] <juniour> can any one help i am not able to perform task using crontab
[20:34] <ali4ever4> keldwud: sure that will be very helpful
[20:34] <Prock81> i notice something with the sound icon in the top corner that was totally cool, and now it doesnt happen any more, i was playing a video on youtube and went to change the volume and below the rhymbox was an icon of the video playing and its name, and if i clicked on it , it set focus the the tab on my browser for that video, AND NOW IT IS GONE..... why !!!???
[20:34]  * keldwud digs through his notes
[20:34] <alex_fun> juniour: i checked it it looks fine
[20:34] <theadmin> ali4ever4: If you want a Vim tutorial, simply run "vimtutor". Also, there's a game called "Vim Adventures".
[20:34] <alex_fun> juniour: try to set to every 1 min and see
[20:34] <juniour> alex_fun but it ain't executing
[20:34] <keldwud> yes @ vim adventures
[20:34] <juniour> yep not working
[20:35] <keldwud> I paid for vim adventures, it was so worth it.
[20:35] <Tex_Nick> alex_fun : man that shouldn't be a problem ... have you run an MD% check on the ISO ... i've not seen a BlueScreen since rthe days of windoZe 98 ?
[20:35] <keldwud> ali4ever4: I just realized the notes are on my other computer. sorry for the false alarm.
[20:35] <amir_1> why don't answer for me ? :( #ubuntu-ir
[20:35] <Tex_Nick> ^MD5
[20:35] <ali4ever4> theadmin: , keldwud thats really a different world for me , thats interesting i will check it out
[20:35] <ali4ever4> keldwud: thats ok thanks for helping
[20:35] <alex_fun> Tex_Nick:  could be bios , it keeps rebooting, then works
[20:35] <juniour> i am stuck fo an hour wiht crontab help
[20:36] <theadmin> ali4ever4: Vim is *the* text editor, if you get used to it it makes editing really efficient and simple. Altough for some it may not be worth the time, if you rarely work with plain text, for instance.
[20:36] <SIFTU> juniour: use full paths to your programs you wish to execute, also so what you have
[20:36] <Prock81> ^ can anyone help on that
[20:36] <SIFTU> juniour: I meant show what you have
[20:36] <amir_1> helper
[20:37] <sasha-> Did you guys all hear how Daft Punk's new album got leaked using a linux-based system?
[20:37] <alex_fun> no
[20:37] <ali4ever4> theadmin: currently i am ASP.NET developer , so yes i am dependant on Visual Studio and other GUI stuff around , but i want to change that and move to linux and command line and scripting
[20:37] <keldwud> yeah, for getting good at *nix, you'll need either vim skills or emacs skills.
[20:38] <Prock81>  keldwud there is also nano !
[20:38] <juniour> SIFTU see here http://pastebin.com/u1jDzA6c and help
[20:38] <alex_fun> nano is good
[20:39] <juniour> alex_fun nano is good but vim is better
[20:39] <theadmin> ali4ever4: Ah, you'll need the "mono-mcs" package for command-line compilation of C# stuff, and a text editor of course
[20:39] <ali4ever4> keldwud: well i hear more about vi and vim from everyone so i guess its better (dont want to start a fan war here) thats why i didn't dare to ask which is better
[20:39] <johnjohn101> juniour:  what permissions does backupsite.sh have on it.
[20:39] <SIFTU> juniour: your script has a #! at the top, it is marked executable?
[20:40] <Prock81> tring to learn vim is like tring to learn Russian .... oh wait Russian is a bit easier ... no joke
[20:40] <ali4ever4> theadmin: thanks a lot
[20:40] <uvala> hello, does an up-to-date ubuntu contain java's latest version?
[20:40] <juniour> johnjohn101 i gave chmod u+x
[20:40] <johnjohn101> Prock81: vim requires about 2-3 hrs a day practice...then it becomes second nature.
[20:40] <keldwud> ali4ever4: it usually boils down to those two depending on your preferences, but both are so diverse that once you have invested time into learning one, you generally don't want to spend more time learning the other
[20:40] <ali4ever4> Prock81: !!!! -_- thanks for the support
[20:40] <theadmin> uvala: 7u21-2.3.9-1ubuntu1 is the version of openjdk-7-jre.
[20:41] <johnjohn101> juniour: is there anything in the script that needs to run as root?
[20:41] <Prock81>  ali4ever4 what did i say
[20:41] <juniour> johnjohn101 yep
[20:41] <johnjohn101> juniour: are you running this in the root crontab?
[20:41] <juniour> johnjohn101 i tried with root account not working
[20:42] <theadmin> Prock81: Russian is not easier. I'd know -- I'm from Russia and I'm having problems with the language... I'm not having problems with Vim though.
[20:42] <juniour> johnjohn101 i tired with both root and normal user not working
[20:42] <ali4ever4> keldwud: exactly i have tried vi and tried emacs port on windows  both looked to have very difficult learning curve which means i need to decide what i want to learn before being able to know exactly what the different between them
[20:42] <ali4ever4> keldwud: anyway i choosed to go with vi, vim thing
[20:42] <uvala> theadmin, I see now that openjdk-7-jre is not installed yet. since the web-ftp of my backend needs this, could that be the reason firefox looks for missing plugins never to find them
[20:42] <Prock81> lol im learning Russian , Spoken only
[20:42] <uvala> ?
[20:42] <SIFTU> juniour: so your script runs from the shell?
[20:43] <theadmin> uvala: I guess, for the web plugin you need "icedtea-7-plugin" (of Java 7) or icedtea-6-plugin of Java 6
[20:43] <ali4ever4> Prock81: russian is easier than vim ,  i am already concern on how much time it will take me to get used deal with its commands and shortcuts
[20:43] <juniour> SIFTUyep i tried it works perfect as shell ./backupsite.sh
[20:43] <juniour> SIFTU yep i tried it works perfect as shell ./backupsite.sh
[20:43] <theadmin> ali4ever4: If you want a simple command-line editor, mcedit and nano are at your disposal (mcedit is part of the Midnight Commander, package "mc")
[20:44] <SIFTU> juniour: so your cron says it's going to execute at 1:35am everyday, if you script produces output you will want to redirect it too.. how do you know it' failing?
[20:45] <ali4ever4> theadmin: well let me try with vim for couple of weeks if i could get my grip on it i will get back with the simple editors
[20:45] <juniour> SIFTU i also tried with every minute
[20:45] <juniour> but noluck
[20:46] <juniour> SIFTU can you jst check in you pc to start some task from crontab it working or not
[20:46] <SIFTU> juniour: the cron is running as your user.. what is the output of ls -la /home/juniour/backupsite.sh
[20:46] <Prock81> ali4ever4 i can understand what johnjohn101 is saying thow, but you would have to have a reason to "want" to use it, and not an easer alternative, and use it for a real purpose and not just practice
[20:46] <SIFTU> juniour: I have many working cronjobs
[20:46] <juniour> k
[20:46] <juniour> wait
[20:46] <amir_1> any body is iranian here ?
[20:47] <SIFTU> juniour: sorry I mean "is the cron running as your user.. or root?"
[20:47] <Prock81> airhead
[20:47] <amir_1> ubuntu is better or debian ?
[20:47] <juniour> SIFTU i added in user and root both but no luck
[20:47] <uvala> theadmin, thank you very much! I'll try again after installing them
[20:47] <gerhard> hi, I got issues to resolve with powerdns after my upgrade from 10.04 to 12.04
[20:48] <juniour> SIFTU -rwxrw-r-- 1 juniour juniour 134 May 14 01:29 /home/juniour/backupsite.sh
[20:48] <seronis> amir_1,  better is a matter of preference.  you want proven stability or newer features.
[20:48] <ali4ever4> Prock81: i agree with that
[20:48] <kblin> amir_1: I tend to prefer ubuntu on desktops and debian on servers
[20:49] <gerhard> the dns server is not reachable and I got no content in the pdns logs
[20:49] <kblin> 10.04 LTS kernels broke ABIs on me twice :)
[20:49] <juniour> SIFTU ??
[20:50] <juniour> kblin 10.04 reached EOL
[20:50] <Prock81> when i see vim ... i pull out the gun and load only one bullet... and think which would be easer !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[20:50] <amir_1> ok guys, thank you
[20:50] <theadmin> juniour: Not on servers
[20:51] <juniour> theadmin ohh i was thinking about desktop sorry :)
[20:52] <juniour> i am going to put bullet in my head beacuse of crontab
[20:52] <kblin> juniour: yeah, on the desktop
[20:52] <jtld> running 10.04 LTS server 64 Bit, have TrippLite Smart1000LCD, website only provides suse and fedora software -- best I found on google was for a different UPS and 8.04. Pointers?
[20:52] <Prock81>  ali4ever4 ,  theadmin ,  johnjohn101 , when i see vim ... i pull out the gun and load only One Bullet... and think which would be easier
[20:53] <juniour> i can't find the mistake on crontab why my job not running???
[20:53] <theadmin> Prock81: Enough complaining about vim, don't like it, use something else. This channel is for support purposes only.
[20:53] <Prock81> well what about my question from earlyerr
[20:53] <juniour> its horrible :)
[20:53] <riddrib> How can helping
[20:54] <theadmin> juniour:  -rwxrw-r-- -- if you placed the job in systemwide crontab, i.e. /etc/crontab, it's executed as root, i.e. "other".
[20:54] <theadmin> juniour: Your file is not executable for other.
[20:54] <kblin> also, that's a really weird set of permissions :)
[20:54] <jtld> juniour: crontab is root and non-root specfic -- check permissions and list crontab -l with/without sudo
[20:54] <jtld> oops theadmin got it
[20:54] <riddrib> I study System information on University of Turabo in Puerto Rico
[20:55] <jtld> theadmin: advice on tripplite ups config -- just need to shutdown when battery hits certain level
[20:55] <juniour> theadmin iadded a job but its not working
[20:55] <SIFTU> juniour: you could add "/bin/bash" in front of your command
[20:55] <wilee-nilee> !ot > riddrib
[20:55] <uvala> theadmin, the page opened now! thank you very much!
[20:55] <Prock81> theadmin where the volume control is, i was playing a youtube video and it had it under the vol control on the menu bar, and now that doesnt happen any more and i miss it
[20:55] <juniour> SIFTU add in script already
[20:55] <SIFTU> juniour: in the cronjob
[20:56] <theadmin> Prock81: I don't know what would cause that... I never had anything like that.
[20:56] <seronis> theadmin, i dont really USE cron but have seen advice given in the past that permissions for cron job scripts should usually be set at 755.  is that the issue here ?
[20:56] <Prock81> do u have it there to begin with?
[20:56] <jtld> running 10.04 LTS server 64 Bit, have TrippLite Smart1000LCD, website only provides suse and fedora software -- best I found on google was for a different UPS and 8.04. Pointers?
[20:56] <theadmin> Prock81: So I wouldn't know why it's missing :P
[20:56] <theadmin> Anyway, I'z off
[20:56] <SIFTU> juniour: 35 1 * * * /bin/bash /home/juniour/backupsite.sh
[20:56] <quantumfoam1> does anyone here know how an md mirror can tell which of the two side contains corrupt data
[20:57] <SIFTU> juniour: but change your times to test
[20:57] <kblin> jtld: I take that also contains a kernel module?
[20:57] <jtld> siftu: mdadm -D /dev/devicename
[20:57] <juniour> wait trying
[20:58] <kblin> jtld: if it's only user space code, you could just try installing the rpm using alien
[20:58] <xABYSSxWALKERx> does anyone have good instructions on sharing files to a windows xp pc? i havent been able to find any good ones that will work on 13.04
[20:58] <kblin> I do that for some bioinformatics software I need to run at work
[20:59] <darthanubis> xABYSSxWALKERx, RT-CLICK THE FOLDER AND CLICK  share
[20:59] <jtld> I have had luck with alien and was going to do it, but figured I would check here just before that. Also, fedora or suse for transformation?
[20:59] <darthanubis> sorry for the caps
[20:59] <kblin> xABYSSxWALKERx: Ubuntu used to have Samba set up to support usershares
[20:59] <juniour> SIFU out of luck
[20:59] <kblin> xABYSSxWALKERx: it probably still does
[20:59] <xABYSSxWALKERx> it said access denied on the other pc ]:

[21:00] <jtld> kblin: thanks -- will give this a go.
[21:00] <MonkeyDust> lousygarua  how old is that laptop?
[21:01] <lousygarua> MonkeyDust, 10 years. It had XP on it. It's a COMPAQ Presario C700

I've added the PPA, updated my repos and installed, but the version that shows up is 1.0.1, the one in the normal Ubuntu repo.  Does anyone have a clue what might be going on?
[21:01] <xABYSSxWALKERx> srry
[21:02] <darthanubis> its ok
[21:02] <darthanubis> ask your questions here so others can chime in
[21:02] <posdifu> :q
[21:02] <xABYSSxWALKERx> just dont know what to do =\
[21:03] <darthanubis> xABYSSxWALKERx, keep searching, reading , and asking questions. You question is well documented all over the web.
[21:03] <darthanubis> it's been asked a million times, literally
[21:03] <darthanubis> !samba
[21:04] <darthanubis> xABYSSxWALKERx, you will be fine. But IRC is really not the best way to get help. It's good for a one line answer, but not more than that.
[21:04] <darthanubis> !ubuntuforums
[21:04] <neekz0r> meh, i think it's good for complex problems
[21:05] <neekz0r> that haven't been found in googleing
[21:05] <riddrib> yes
[21:05] <darthanubis> Google has all of these answers
[21:05] <darthanubis> these are not new questions or events
[21:05] <darthanubis> as Ubuntu has been out for quite some time now
