[15:36] <usr13> sgt-hagger: What player are you using?
[15:37] <sgt-hagger> tried totem and VLV
[15:37] <usr13> sgt-hagger: Try mplayer
[15:37] <sgt-hagger> VLC
[15:38] <usr13> sgt-hagger: or mplayer2
[15:38] <MonkeyDust> or smplayer
[15:38] <KsM> or gnome-mplayer
[15:38] <KsM> no more?
[15:38] <MonkeyDust> or minitube
[15:39] <usr13> mplayer is the swiss-army-knife of video players.
[15:40] <sgt-hagger> Okay thanks
[15:40] <usr13> sgt-hagger: But if you have problems even with mplayer, you can bet it's a video driver issue
[15:41] <nearst> nope, codec
[15:41] <CoreyBR> hello
[15:41] <CoreyBR> how can i modify ubuntu themes?
[15:42] <usr13> CoreyBR: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuEyeCandy
[15:43] <zeffe> hi all
[15:43] <CoreyBR> usr13, ty
[15:44] <badfinger> hi
[15:44] <MonkeyDust> CoreyBR  find gnome-tweak-tool in the software center
[15:45] <thompcha> Hey, I've got an issue with tomcat taking more than 20 minutes to start. I've written up the problem in detail here: http://serverfault.com/q/466190/45607
[15:45] <thompcha> Any suggestions?
[15:45] <zeffe> You're missing command pv (consider installing package pv), how can I install the package pv?
[15:46] <theadmin> zeffe: sudo apt-get install pv
[15:46] <MonkeyDust> thompcha  ubuntu server?
[15:46] <zeffe> E: Unable to locate package pv
[15:47] <jrib> zeffe: « sudo apt-get update » then try again
[15:47] <theadmin> Eh.
[15:47] <theadmin> !find /usr/bin/pv
[15:47] <badfinger> so, I'm reading a bit about an issue I have, and a lot of answers involve "go to system>administration>etc" and I can't find this tree.  Sounds like a windows "start menu" kind of thing, but I don't see it.  ubuntu 12.10.  Any help appreciated
[15:47] <jrib> badfinger: system settings, or run "gnome-control-center"
[15:47] <zeffe> E: Unable to locate package pv
[15:48] <jrib> zeffe: what version of ubuntu?
[15:48] <theadmin> badfinger: Yeah, that's from the old, GNOME2 style interface. Many of those things may no longer even be available anymore. What are you trying to do, exactly?
[15:48] <badfinger> hmm.. I'm trying to set up wireless on my old inspiron 1720
[15:49] <theadmin> badfinger: Well, there's the Network Manager icon on top. If it's not connected, it will look like a greyed-out wifi icon thingy.
[15:49] <theadmin> badfinger: That's as much as I can say for the networking UI...
[15:50] <zeffe>  Ubuntu 12.04 LTS
[15:50] <badfinger> yeah, it's not there, I installed the broadcom drivers as per a forum I found about the issue, and it appears my wireless device is either turned off or not recognized
[15:50] <fedor> hi, everyone
[15:50] <zeffe>  Ubuntu 12.04 LTS
[15:50] <theadmin> badfinger: Hm, well, if it's turned off you may try to "sudo rfkill unblock all"
[15:50] <jrib> zeffe: pastebin the output of « sudo apt-get update && apt-cache policy pv » then
[15:50] <badfinger> Iok thanks I'll try it
[15:51] <zeffe>  Ubuntu 12.04 LTS from live flash USB
[15:51] <theadmin> zeffe: Oh. You can't really install packages on a live system.
[15:51] <theadmin> At least not in my experience.
[15:51] <jrib> should be able to
[15:51] <kaczer> list ubuntu
[15:52] <fedor> could anyone tell me if there is an app or something that would turn on the win-like behavior of middle mouse.
[15:52] <jrib> fedor: what's the "win-like behavior of middle mouse"?
[15:52] <lyda> what's the login/password for ubuntu cloud images?
[15:52] <fedor> middle button i meant
[15:52] <theadmin> fedor: "win like"? In my opinion, the Xorg style behaviour is a complete win :P
[15:52] <jrib> fedor: what's the "win-like behavior of middle button"?
[15:53] <usr13> fedor: What is the "win-like behavior" ?    :)
[15:53] <theadmin> fedor: The scrolling thing is app specific. Firefox can do that.
[15:53] <lyda> from the docs i got the idea it was ubuntu/passw0rd, but that seems to be incorrect.
[15:53] <fedor> well, i mean when you press the middle button in ubuntu you paste something. What i want is to make to behave like a scroll button in windows
[15:54] <theadmin> fedor: You can set middlemouse.paste to false in Firefox. But other apps... I dunno.
[15:54] <zeffe> Reading package lists... Done N: Unable to locate package pv
[15:54] <badfinger> sigh, ubuntu still doesn't recognize my wireless hardware
[15:54] <marsfligth>   Hi, on Precise 12.04 the display blanks after 10 mins even if all settings (power and brightness) are set to still the monitor always on. How can I solve it? Thanks
[15:54] <fedor> I know about that. You can install scroll-extension in browsers.
[15:54] <usr13> fedor: It should scroll when you turn it.  But, do you never find the need to paste?
[15:55] <theadmin> marsfligth: You missed one. The screensaver is set to "Blank screen" by default. :P
[15:55] <badfinger> it's a known problem with older dell laptops
[15:55] <fedor> no. I have ctrl+V for that
[15:55] <fedor> I am not a big fan of mouse :)
[15:55] <badfinger> I know I made this work once
[15:55] <badfinger> with broadcom drivers
[15:55] <fedor> so is it possible
[15:56] <badfinger> so what's the 12.10 equivalent of system>administrator
[15:56] <usr13> fedor: But in linux we have more options.  You can have one paste from Ctrl-v and a second one from the middle mouse button, so that you can carry two separate pastes to your document.
[15:56] <theadmin> badfinger: There really isn't any apart from the Settings application thing.
[15:56] <jrib> badfinger: system settings, or run "gnome-control-center"
[15:56] <jrib> badfinger: you probably want to go to software sources and use the "additional drivers" tab
[15:56] <Quest> how to make permanent global variables for all users . for instance I want to setup JAVA_HOME for my JDK
[15:56] <Quest> ?
[15:57] <theadmin> Quest: /etc/environment
[15:57] <theadmin> Quest: They're not permanent, users can still override them by setting their own. But they are used as defaults unless users do set their own.
[15:58] <fedor> usr13: for my purposes it is useless
[15:58] <Quest> theadmin, ok. but they are permenent of reboots?
[15:58] <nazty> how do i set a administrative password in the latest kubuntu
[15:58] <badfinger> hmm.. says it's using the broadcom driver but I definitely don't have a wireless option
[15:58] <thoonai> hey someone using vdr in streaming mode? mine is failing
[15:58] <thoonai> :(
[15:58] <theadmin> Quest: Yeah, since it's a file :P
[15:58] <badfinger> thanks for everything so far btw
[15:59] <theadmin> Quest: ...well unless your /etc is on a ramdisk for some mad reason
[15:59] <Quest> theadmin,  :)
[15:59] <Quest> thanks
[15:59] <nazty> has anyone ran unetbootin?
[15:59] <MonkeyDust> nazty  yes ask away
[15:59] <jrib> !anyone | nazty
[16:00] <OerHeks> badfinger, after install, did you reboot to get the driver loaded ?  or modprobe ?
[16:00] <usr13> fedor: I don't understand how extra capabilities are useless.  And since I've not found the need to get rid of these extra capabilities, I don't know how.
[16:00] <CoreyBR> i'm having a hard time customizing my ubuntu T_T
[16:00] <CoreyBR> can anyone help me?
[16:00] <cebor> does anybody know, if i install win8 to my seccond hdd will this kill my mbr on my ubuntu which is on sda
[16:00] <nazty> im trying to run unetbootin but it is asking me for a admin password which i dont have set
[16:00] <theadmin> nazty: Yeah. I don't think it's ever worked with Ubuntu for me. Ubuntu has it's own image writer tools for a while.
[16:00] <MonkeyDust> nazty  it's the password you use to login and for sudo
[16:00] <theadmin> nazty: The admin password is your user's password.
[16:00] <FlashDeluxe> hi! i got a question, if i want to login via lightdm, i cannot choose or type in an existing username, if i switch to kdm, everything works fine... Can somebody tell me why? Here is the log http://www.evenos.de
[16:00] <nazty> theadmin: to write to a flash drive?
[16:00] <Slart> nazty: you can set a password for the root account but sudo usually takes care of that better (and setting a root password isn't supoprted here)
[16:00] <thoonai> CoreyBR: what did you try and why and which errors occur?
[16:00] <fedor> usr13, its unwonted for me to use middle button in pasting.
[16:00] <nazty> MonkeyDust: no its not i tried that already
[16:00] <thoonai> hey someone using vdr in streaming mode? mine is failing
[16:01] <FlashDeluxe> damn, sorry, here it is: http://paste.debian.net/223748/
[16:01] <Quest> theadmin,  why people use ~/.bashrc and /etc/profile?
[16:01] <escott> cebor, probably
[16:01] <escott> !grub | cebor
[16:01] <badfinger> OerHeks: I've rebooted a bunch of times, and I ran the modprobe command once, and definitely didn't get a positive response, thought I'm not sure what it said exactly
[16:01] <escott> !details | CoreyBR
[16:01] <MonkeyDust> nazty  odd, should be
[16:01] <nazty> theadmin: what should i use to write a iso to a flash drive?
[16:01] <jrib> Quest: you may want to read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EnvironmentVariables to learn what the different files do.  But theadmin gave you the right file for what you asked
[16:01] <theadmin> Quest: Eh. bashrc is just a shell script that gets executed by bash on login. /etc/profile is same. You *could* set the variables in /etc/profile but...
[16:01] <Diegosnat> hi guys, how can i solve this problem? http://pastebin.com/EKueZ6Jj
[16:01] <theadmin> nazty: What OS are you currently on?
[16:02] <badfinger> *though
[16:02] <nazty> kubuntu
[16:02] <nazty> the lastest release
[16:02] <Quest> theadmin,  and  bash.bashrc
[16:02] <CoreyBR> i wanna change my ubuntu's loading splash screen, the help website says to install gnome-splashscreen-manager package but i cant find it in synaptic, any clues?
[16:02] <MonkeyDust> nazty  just tried, it is as I said
[16:02] <theadmin> nazty: Ok. There's a "USB Image Writer" tool. But you can also use the terminal: sudo dd if=something.iso of=/dev/sdb
[16:02] <Quest> theadmin,  but..?
[16:02] <jrib> CoreyBR: what website?
[16:03] <theadmin> Quest: But what's the point of writing a whole shell script with "export" and stuff if you can set it in a file? :P
[16:03] <CoreyBR> jrib, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuEyeCandy
[16:03] <thompcha> MonkeyDust: yes, ubuntu server 12.10
[16:03] <CoreyBR> i cant change my cursor either
[16:03] <MonkeyDust> thompcha  they have their own channel   #ubuntu-server
[16:03] <darryl> nazty, also unetbootin works
[16:04] <thompcha> ah! thanks!
[16:04] <theadmin> darryl: It works... sometimes.
[16:04] <jrib> CoreyBR: so what version of ubuntu are you using?
[16:04] <theadmin> darryl: For me it doesn't. Might be hardware-specific or something but I never managed to get it to work.
[16:04] <nazty> darryl: its asking me for the admin password when i start it
[16:04] <CoreyBR> jrib, 12.10
[16:04] <darryl> theadmin, dunno worked for me
[16:05] <jrib> CoreyBR: doesn't the link you gave me say "prior to 11.04"?  See ubottu for how to change your splash now...
[16:05] <jil> What's the support channel for wine? #wine is empty.
[16:05] <jrib> !plymouth | CoreyBR
[16:05] <jrib> jil: #winehq
[16:05] <nazty> ahhh i can sudo unetbootin and it works
[16:05] <CoreyBR> jrib, sorry i'm still learning english
[16:05] <CoreyBR> :\
[16:05] <jil> jrib.  thankyou.  why is it not wine?
[16:05] <escott> !gksudo | nazty
[16:05] <jrib> jil: you have to ask them :)
[16:06] <jil> ok thx :)

[16:07] <jrib> zeffe: what's the output of « uname -m »?
[16:07] <Quest> theadmin,  ok
[16:07] <badfinger> thanks for the suggestions everyone, I'm gonna go back to the web and try to make this wireless work.  seems like a tough problem
[16:07] <Quest> thanks
[16:07] <Guest_6> buu
[16:08] <Guest_6> gdgdsg
[16:08] <usr13> badfinger: What chip is it?
[16:08] <badfinger> it's a broadcom.. I forget the model
[16:08] <theadmin> Eighteens: Don't fix it unless it's broken. And the kernel produces a LOT of messages, most of them can be ignored.
[16:08] <badfinger> It's in an inspiron 1720
[16:09] <Eighteens> theadmin: thank you
[16:09] <zeffe> http://paste.ubuntu.com/1520309/
[16:09] <badfinger> and i'm using 12.10
[16:09] <jrib> zeffe: what's the output of « uname -m »?
[16:09] <usr13> badfinger: What's the WiFi chip?
[16:09] <MonkeyDust> zeffe  what kind of disk is "/dev/mmcblk0p1"?
[16:10] <usr13> badfinger: Can you plug into wired network?
[16:10] <badfinger> what's the command I use to find that?
[16:10] <zeffe> i686
[16:10] <jrib> zeffe: you need to add the universe repository (see ubottu)
[16:10] <badfinger> I know I did it once
[16:10] <jrib> !repos | zeffe
[16:10] <usr13> badfinger: lspci |grep ireless
[16:10] <badfinger> usr13: yes, wired works fine
[16:11] <usr13> badfinger: Plug into the wired network and work on it.
[16:11] <thoonai> MonkeyDust: it sound like an sd card in and sd card reader
[16:11] <badfinger> lol thanks usr13, that's what I'm doing
[16:11] <theadmin> MonkeyDust: For some reason, that device naming scheme reminds me of BSDs...
[16:11] <Third3ye> Why... why... why won't HDMI  audio work and video does?!
[16:11] <usr13> badfinger: Give us some info and we can help.
[16:12]  * MonkeyDust has never seen /dev/mmcblk0p1
[16:12] <badfinger> sure, give me a moment and I'll find the exact broadcom chip
[16:12] <badfinger> thanks for your help btw
[16:13] <usr13> NP
[16:13] <Ben64> MonkeyDust: android uses that for the internal memory and sd card
[16:13] <thoonai> Ben64: ubuntu too
[16:14] <Ben64> not ususally
[16:14] <thoonai> Ben64: it is in all my 12.10 versions
[16:14] <llutz> thoonai: that depends on the type of sd-card controller
[16:14] <Miebster> I installed 12.04 from disk, when my computer reboots I get a prompt and nothing else just a "|" flashing.  What do I do?
[16:15] <escott> Miebster, what do you see after post?
[16:15] <thoonai> llutz: possible, I wouldnt deny it
[16:15] <MonkeyDust> !nomodeset | Miebster
[16:15] <blackline> Are there any convenient way to see which packages that I have installed from one specific repo?
[16:15] <Ben64> yep, most devices don't show up as mmc
[16:15] <Musam> What is your computer configuration
[16:16] <Miebster> escott: I see the dell bios screen, and then after that straight to black with prompt
[16:16] <thoonai> someone using ubuntu and vdr?
[16:16] <escott> Miebster, do you happen to know if this is a bios or efi system?
[16:16] <badfinger> usr13: it's a broadcom BCM4311
[16:17] <usr13> badfinger: Ubuntu 12.04?
[16:17] <badfinger> no, 12.10
[16:17] <freakynl> gotta run thx
[16:17] <escott> Miebster, if you boot the livecd, download and run this http://sourceforge.net/projects/bootinfoscript/ it will provide some information that may help
[16:17] <escott> !paste | Miebster
[16:17] <Miebster> escott: best I could give you is the make/model, dell precision T1650
[16:18] <usr13> badfinger: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2072887
[16:18] <badfinger> thanks, hang on.. gonna try it
[16:18] <thoonai> someone using ubuntu and vdr?
[16:18] <usr13> !bcm43xx | badfinger
[16:19] <badfinger> you guys are great.. I'm gonna work on this using your links
[16:19] <badfinger> I can't thank you enough.. I'll keep you posted
[16:20] <badfinger> I'm a bit of a noob but I really want to move to linux
[16:20] <usr13> badfinger: Are you fully updated?
[16:20] <Miebster> escott: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1520330/
[16:20] <badfinger> usr13: yes
[16:20] <usr13> badfinger: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
[16:20] <badfinger> yeah did both of those
[16:21] <CoreyBR> my ubuntu is now locking the screen anymore, how can i fix it?
[16:21] <stoic> CoreyBR,  use caffiene
[16:21] <MonkeyDust> Miebster  firstly: windows should sit on /dev/sda1   first install windows, then linux
[16:22] <Miebster> MonkeyDust: I don't have windows
[16:22] <escott> Miebster, your bootloader got installed to sdb for some reason. don't know why
[16:22] <blackline> Actually found the answer to my own question. Thanks anyway :)
[16:22] <usr13> badfinger: see my PM
[16:22] <escott> Miebster, if you will run the following commands we can fix it up
[16:23] <escott> Miebster, sudo -i; mkdir /ubuntu; mount /dev/sda1 /ubuntu; mount --bind /dev /ubuntu/dev; chroot /ubuntu; grub-install /dev/sda;
[16:23] <escott> Miebster, run them one after the other stopping at each ";"
[16:23] <escott> Miebster, stop and ask about any errors
[16:24] <optraz> i want a package, webcalendar but apparently it stop at the lucid, any public repo offer this package?
[16:25] <Miebster> escott: done, no errors
[16:25] <escott> Miebster, ok then you should be able to type "exit" twice and if you rerun the bootinfoscript it should say "grub2 is installed on the mbr of /dev/sda and points to the first partitition of the same disk"
[16:27] <Miebster> escott: confirmed, reboot?
[16:27] <escott> Miebster, that should do it for you. make sure to remove that sdb usb device whatever it is
[16:27] <Miebster> escott: its just a thumb drive, why remove it?
[16:28] <escott> Miebster, it confused the installer. probably because that partition is flagged with the bootable flag
[16:28] <escott> Miebster, in the future its best not to have random extraneous disks in the system when installing
[16:28] <Miebster> escott: ah, thanks
[16:31] <jil> Please,  How can I make wine available to every user after a fresh ubuntu install and an apt-get install wine?
[16:32] <jil> every user of the computer...
[16:33] <theadmin> jil: What do you mean, "make available"? It registers itself with binfmt_support so double-clicking an exe file will run it in wine...
[16:33] <theadmin> jil: Regardless of the user
[16:33] <jil> yes,
[16:34] <usr13> jil: It's not Win7... :)
[16:34] <jil> I have several accounts some not part of the adm group and those don't have access to wine
[16:34] <theadmin> jil: Huh. That's odd. I'm not sure what that group is...
[16:34] <usr13> jil: I do not think wine requires admin
[16:35] <usr13> jil: wine runs in user space
[16:35] <escott> jil, do you mean you want to share programs installed by one use with the others
[16:35] <usr13> escott: Ahhh yea, I think you got it.
[16:35] <Miebster> ubuntu 12.04, only sees 1 of my 2 monitors (And its calling it a laptop, its not) When I click the icon to "install drivers" (for 3rd party stuff) I get a system error, when I click "detect displays" it doesn't find the second monitor
[16:36] <jil> escott, that's it.  I'm forcing the hand of my dad to switch from windows to linux but he wants ms excel.. and Excel work on my account but not on his.  I can find it on his account
[16:36] <usr13> jil: What's wrong with soffice?
[16:36] <usr13> jil: Tell him to use open office?
[16:37] <escott> jil, you would have to modify the default wine config to point to some shared folder like perhaps /home/wine
[16:37] <RollinV2> jil, why not virtualize either windows or linux and get the best of both worlds?
[16:37] <theadmin> jil: Eh. Wine apps don't get shared across users, since they are installed per-user. You'd have to install them for every account (easily accomplishable by copying over the .wine folder, like this: sudo cp -r ~/.wine /home/*/
[16:37] <raven> ubuntu 12.10 + Memtest 4.20 - i have a known bug in memtest at test 7 from 129,0 mb is there any new version of  memtest in ubuntu and if yes how to install it?
[16:37] <theadmin> Oops.
[16:37] <Miebster> How do I disable the join/leave sin empathy?
[16:37] <usr13> But WHY use excel?
[16:37] <theadmin> jil: That command may be wrong.
[16:37] <MonkeyDust> jil  use libreoffice
[16:38] <usr13> jil: Yes, as MonkeyDust points out, libreoffice will work fine for you.
[16:38] <jil> MonkeyDust,  usr13 Yes libreoffice is good for me.
[16:38] <theadmin> jil: sudo cp -t ~/.wine /home/*/ # There.
[16:38] <raven> how to make a text-system from a graphical ubuntu system? i deinstalled xorg and xubuntu-desktop already but still graphics!
[16:38] <usr13> jil: It's good for your dad too.
[16:39] <RollinV2> libreoffice won't be able to handle the more complex excel functions. sad but true. fine for basic low level use.

[16:41] <sogeking99> Hey guys I am having a problem with both banshee and rhthymbox. My playlists are not in the correct track order, and clicking the track column won't so anything?
[16:41] <jil> ok, but my dad will see the difference. his accountant
[16:41] <usr13> jil: How will he?
[16:42] <usr13> jil: Why would he care?
[16:42] <z_Chanshark> hey guys, im having trouble getting the ndiswrapper to work i keep getting this error  " fatal: module ndiswrapper not found"
[16:42] <Sizur> where's the location of files that govern desktop selection at the login screen?
[16:42] <raven> theadmin ill try this tnx
[16:42] <jil> tables functionality of Excel are not yet in libreoffice as far as I know.
[16:42] <MonkeyDust> usr13  he's right, libreoffice looks like old ms office
[16:42] <usr13> jil: If it works, he will be pleased.
[16:42] <RollinV2> libreoffice files may have slight compatablity differences with ms office files. i'd check by swaping edited files to make sure both sides are seeing similar output
[16:42] <theadmin> jil: What do you mean? Calc works with spreadsheets perfectly well.
[16:43] <raven> ubuntu 12.10 + Memtest 4.20 - i have a known bug in memtest at test 7 from 129,0 mb is there any new version of  memtest in ubuntu and if yes how to install it?
[16:43] <jil> You have a nice way to do summary table called pivote table in Excel. I know you can do it with libreoffice but it means learning a few commandes. that's how he will notice
[16:43] <llutz> theadmin: it'll fail if it spreadsheets use macros and will eventually corrupt files if im-/re-exported to xls
[16:44] <theadmin> llutz: Macros... yeah. Those.
[16:44] <sogeking99> Is there a music player with the functionality of iTunes?
[16:44] <jil> I copied the directory, I'm going to check if all's ok.  thx
[16:44] <RollinV2> sogeking99: songbird or noise
[16:44] <theadmin> sogeking99: If you mean syncing with iPhone, then Rhythmbox (preinstalled) can do that.
[16:44] <Sizur> where the .desktop files live that configure what desktop is launched at the default login screen?
[16:44] <Miebster> Please can someone help, I've asked 3 times, Ubuntu wont detect my second display, system error when I click on the "install 3rd party drivers"
[16:44] <usr13> jil: As theadmin points out, the spreadsheets from excel work fine, I've traded them back and forth a number of times, not seeing any problems.
[16:45] <Third3ye> Miebster: you should check the logs for the issue, or alternatively: install it via terminal instead
[16:45] <RollinV2> Miebster: reboot the system with the monitor connected
[16:45] <Third3ye> Miebster: which graphic card do you have?
[16:45] <Miebster> RollinV2: the monitor was connected
[16:46] <z_Chanshark> hey does anyone know the ndiswrapper fix ( fatal: module ndiswrapper not found)
[16:46] <RollinV2> Miebster: darn.
[16:46] <LucidGuy> Is there any difference between ubuntu with the kubuntu-desktop package .. or gong straight to kubuntu?
[16:46] <jil> psychologicaly, man is relectant to big changes.  so one step at the time is preferable.  I would also like to switch entirely to libreoffice but one step a the time is the best strategy I believe.
[16:46] <sogeking99> theadmin: I just mean having the ability to sort my playlists in track order. rhythmbox and banshee won't let me
[16:46] <theadmin> sogeking99: Oh. Odd.
[16:46] <sogeking99> RollinV2: thanks I will try that now.
[16:47] <Miebster> Third3ye: Where can I find that info?  Its not showing up under "details">"graphics"
[16:47] <sogeking99> theadmin:  For example my Scenes from a memory album is in a whacky order. track 4, 3, ,9 7 etc. and hitting the track column does not let you sort them
[16:48] <bekks> sogeking99: Then use easytag to set correct tags and rename the file according to the tags.
[16:48] <usr13> jil: Just because someone thinks something won't work does not mean it doesnt.  I know that people only believe what they want to, and they are resistant to change but, just remember, "nothing ventured, nothing gained".
[16:49] <usr13> jil: If you can show him it works, he will be ok with it.
[16:49] <Third3ye> Miebster: open terminal and write "lspci |grep VGA"
[16:49] <usr13> jil: What do you have to loose?
[16:49] <Third3ye> Miebster: or it should say in the driver install window, really
[16:50] <jil> I have to loose the whole linux installation.
[16:50] <Sizur> exit
[16:50] <Redi> Hi, I want to upgrade my AMD GPU driver from "fglrx" to "fglrx-updates" can I just use Synaptic to do so, or do I need to do it from terminal with Unity & X.org shuted down?
[16:50] <Miebster> Third3ye: What driver install window?  "System Settings>Additional Drivers" that one?  That button doesn't do anything when I click it.
[16:50] <usr13> jil: Why?
[16:50] <Miebster> Third3ye: lspci | grep vga returns nothing
[16:50] <z_Chanshark> does anyone know how to install windows wifi drivers
[16:51] <MonkeyDust> Miebster  its VGA, not vga
[16:51] <Third3ye> Miebster: remember big letters -- VGA
[16:51] <sogeking99> ah songbird works well thanks
[16:51] <Miebster> Third3ye: VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation Device 0fff (rev a1)
[16:51] <usr13> jil: Well, here is the deal:  You either use Linux or you don't.  You know the advantages, so....
[16:51] <jil> well copying the .wine folder in the other account is not sufficiant
[16:51] <orudie> what is a good bitorrent client for ubuntu ?
[16:51] <usr13> jil: No, you would have to install the app on the other user's account.
[16:52] <Third3ye> Miebster: try this in terminal then; sudo apt-get install nvidia-current
[16:52] <theadmin> jil: Well, you also need the menu shortcuts from ~/.local/share/applications/wine*
[16:52] <MonkeyDust> orudie  deluge or transmission are popular
[16:52] <orudie> MonkeyDust: utorrent ?
[16:52] <theadmin> orudie: utorrent isn't really good on Linux yet.
[16:52] <betsy> hello im struggling to activate nvidia drivers 304 above ubuntu 12.04 anyone assist please?
[16:53] <usr13> jil: Well, yea, as theadmin points out, it may be possible to copy more files to get it to work.
[16:53] <ndases> yo !
[16:53] <Redi> orudie: Transmission is OK
[16:53] <Miebster> how can I get empathy to stop spamming "joined the room"
[16:53] <Third3ye> betsy: try running this in terminal and tell us what the error is: sudo apt-get install nvidia-current
[16:54] <Redi> Can somebody help me?  But note that this may break it.
[16:54] <MonkeyDust> !wifi | z_Chanshark start here
[16:54] <theadmin> Third3ye: Because Ubuntu is meant to be simple. Advanced users use the CLI where they get all the output anyway.
[16:54] <usr13> Miebster: /ignore #ubutnu all -public -actions
[16:55] <Redi> theadmin: Thanks, I will risk it.
[16:55] <Third3ye> theadmin: It should leave you with an easy google-able error code, like WIndows or OS X -- which are Ubuntus direct competitors
[16:55] <Miebster> usr13: Unknown Command
[16:55] <theadmin> Redi: As in, the -updates version may fail to work leaving you with nothing but a CLI interface. If that happens, just "sudo apt-get remove fglrx-updates".
[16:56] <usr13> Miebster: /help ignore
[16:56] <usr13> Miebster: What IRC client do you use?
[16:56] <Miebster> usr13: empathy
[16:57] <usr13> Miebster: Maybe empathy does not recognize those commands.  Try the help files or docs.
[16:57] <sogeking99> RollinV2: This works great, one thing. Can I change the order of playlists? I like them to be in alphabetical order if possible. And I made them in the wrong order (used to auto sorting like itunes)
[16:58] <theadmin> Miebster: The problem is empathy isn't really an IRC client... Use a real one, designed specifically for IRC, rather than one that is designed for IM.
[16:58] <Miebster> theadmin: which one?
[16:58] <usr13> Miebster: /join #empathy
[16:58] <theadmin> Miebster: Well, I suggest irssi on the commandline and Quassel in the graphical interface.
[16:59] <usr13> Miebster: irssi is good.
[16:59] <MonkeyDust> irssi <3
[16:59] <jil> allright, Wine is working on other accounts.  copying the right files and changing ownership of those file was enought.
[16:59] <z_Chanshark> MonkeyDust:  my wifi adapter  listed but it says i need to use  ndiswapper to install the drivers but every time i try to get ndiswrapper to work i get this error " fatal: module ndiswrapper not found"
[16:59] <jil> That makes me like ubuntu more, but how many of us can understand.
[17:00] <usr13> jil: People only believe what they want to believe.
[17:00] <Miebster> Okay so while letting the package manager update, it gave me a modal "configure grub dialog" But I just got grub working, so continue without changing anything?  (This is the dialog that hosed me up the first time)
[17:01] <jrib> Miebster: check the differences?
[17:01] <MonkeyDust> z_Chanshark  try installing ndisgtk
[17:01] <Miebster> jrib: what do you mean ?
[17:01] <z_Chanshark> i have reinstalled it
[17:01] <jil> usr13 I'd say They believe what they like to beleive and one likes to believe that he made the right choices in the past.  we are a change relunctant specie and the ubuntu community should study behavioral psychology to make change more effective.
[17:02] <jrib> Miebster: I'm assuming you are at a dialog about a package maintainer's config file differing from yours.  If that's true, you can ask for a diff to compare the two versions
[17:02] <Miebster> jrib: http://imgur.com/Oi1oI
[17:02] <jrib> Miebster: you're installing ubuntu for the first time?
[17:03] <Miebster> jrib: no, I just installed it, rebooted a few times, this is the package manger doing updates
[17:03] <singharkirat> I am installing ubuntu 11.10 on lenovo think station s20
[17:03] <jrib> Miebster: what's your bootloader now?
[17:03] <Miebster> jrib: grub2
[17:03] <usr13> jil: I have two sisters.  One has a laptop and two desktops, all Linux and her and her husband litterally love linux.  They've been using it for 4 years now.  I have another sister, and her and her husband would not touch Linux with a 10' pole.  They know darn well it is useless and that is that.  People only believe what they want to believe, (is the bottom line).
[17:03] <singharkirat> It is working fine on some systems but on some system just hangs after boot loader...
[17:04] <jrib> Miebster: I don't understand why that's coming up then.
[17:04] <Miebster> jrib: thats why I am afraid to touch it
[17:04] <Miebster> jrib: but I have to, its modal, this is crazy
[17:04] <jrib> Miebster: don't check anything then.  Worst case scenario, you can't boot, and you have to use a live cd to reconfigure grub
[17:04] <singharkirat> I have to boot to recovery and them select resume normal boot.. And system starts but with a bad resoltion... And help?
[17:05] <Miebster> jrib: yeah... but thats what happened 2 hours ago
[17:05] <jrib> Miebster: then, check something :)
[17:05] <z_Chanshark> MonkeyDust:  i have re-installed it, and some guides i have tried install the source and a few other things and non of them seem to work
[17:06] <MonkeyDust> z_Chanshark  and you defenitally need ndis?
[17:06] <jrib> Miebster: you probably want it on sda unless you have some sort of chainload setup
[17:06] <singharkirat> Any help??
[17:06] <z_Chanshark> yes
[17:06] <nyuszika7h> hi, how can I allow connections to port 22 from LAN? this doesn't seem to work:
[17:06] <jrib> nyuszika7h: there are no firewall rules by default
[17:06] <jil> theadmin. I just check the pivot table and they seem to work now. Last time I tested was last year.  So that's good
[17:06] <nyuszika7h> nyuszika7h@ymlyna ~ % sudo ufw allow in ssh/tcp from <IP_ADDRESS>/24
[17:06] <usr13> nyuszika7h: install openssh-server
[17:06] <nyuszika7h> jrib: I enabled ufw.
[17:06] <jrib> nyuszika7h: ok
[17:07] <MonkeyDust> nyuszika7h  try allow ssh
[17:07] <nyuszika7h> usr13: seriously, do I look that stupid? I obviously installed it. (sorry)
[17:07] <nyuszika7h> MonkeyDust: you don't get my point, I don't want it to be accessible from the WAN
[17:07] <nyuszika7h> even though my router's firewall would block it anyway
[17:07] <nyuszika7h> (to WAN)
[17:07] <z_Chanshark> MonkeyDust:  because ndiswrapper is for installing windows wifi drivers
[17:08] <jil> escott thanks for the sharing the sharing tip
[17:08] <MonkeyDust> z_Chanshark  linux has wifi drivers, too, i for one don't use windows drivers
[17:08] <rosenzweig> Are the ATI legacy drivers (for Radeon HD 4000 and under chips) available in the Ubuntu repositories?
[17:08] <usr13> nyuszika7h: nmap -p22 192.168.1.x
[17:09] <z_Chanshark> MonkeyDust:  my wifi adapter only comes with windows drivers that why i need to use ndiswapper because it allowed me to use windows drivers on linux
[17:09] <jrib> nyuszika7h: I'm not familiar with ufw syntax but https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW#Allow_and_Deny_.28specific_rules.29 seems to use: sudo ufw allow from <ip address> to <protocol> port <port number> proto <protocol name>
[17:09] <anders_> Apache refuse to enable mod_rewrite.. rails and php
[17:09] <nyuszika7h> jrib: ok, I'll try that
[17:09] <singharkirat> Any help with lenovo think station s20
[17:10] <usr13> nyuszika7h: Why don't you see what nmap says about it?
[17:10] <nyuszika7h> usr13: *sigh*
[17:10] <MonkeyDust> z_Chanshark  try installing the adapter without the windows drivers
[17:10] <singharkirat> Trying to install ubuntu 11.10
[17:10] <nyuszika7h> usr13: how do you expect me to have nmap on my phone where I'm connecting from?
[17:10] <usr13> nyuszika7h: I don't.
[17:10] <nyuszika7h> it's not Android unfortunately, it's just a sh***y Symbian one
[17:11] <Third3ye> Why, WHY... WHY won't anyone help me...? Is because no one can answer, that this is the question of the ages, which baffles all of Ubuntus smartest, most afluent gurus?
[17:11] <nyuszika7h> jrib: thanks for the link, `sudo ufw allow from <IP_ADDRESS>/24' seems to be good enough
[17:11] <gdc77> Third3ye: can you repeat the question?
[17:12] <z_Chanshark> MonkeyDust:  i have tried to install it and it just does nothing
[17:12] <Third3ye> Why HDMI video works but HDMI audio doesn't. I've tried upgrading ALSA, I've tried varying settings in /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf...
[17:12] <theadmin> Third3ye: Well, the thing is, not everyone here is a guru. This isn't any commercial support. Most come here to ask questions, like you. Those who answer are just volunteers who know how to solve this or that. You're just unlucky, nobody who's looking at the channel right now knows how to solve your problem.
[17:13] <Third3ye> theadmin: well nuts...
[17:13] <Third3ye> or "well, nuts..." -- forgot the comma
[17:13] <gdc77> Third3ye: I'd try the forums, theadmin is right maybe you're just unlucky that nobody here knows the answer right now
[17:13] <theadmin> Third3ye: You could also try http://ubuntuforums.org or http://askubuntu.com
[17:13] <gdc77> or they aren't looking
[17:13] <z_Chanshark> Third3ye:  have you scanned with make sure it detects it
[17:13] <Third3ye> I've already posted to askubuntu.com
[17:14] <usr13> nyuszika7h: NetAudit tcp port scanner for Android.
[17:14] <gdc77> Third3ye: do you dual boot?
[17:14] <Third3ye> z_Chanshark: the module is loaded, the codec shows up in sound settings, and HDMI output is also there - but will not output sound
[17:14] <usr13> nyuszika7h: Seems to wrok fine.
[17:14] <Third3ye> gdc77: no, I've just got Ubuntu
[17:15] <z_Chanshark> is the volume off? like turn up the sound some
[17:15] <gdc77> Third3ye: ah, i was going to say test it in Windows, but i guess that's out
[17:16] <gdc77> Third3ye: hardware support has pretty much always been the limiting issue with linux in general
[17:16] <MonkeyDust> Third3ye  sometimes, things work in a live session, but not in an installation -- try again in a live session
[17:16] <gdc77> Third3ye: do you have the proprietary drivers for your graphics card installed?
[17:16] <Third3ye> gdc77: I know it works in Windows, I just recently installed
[17:16] <Tellmarch> Hello, I was wondering, is the java of ubuntu vulnerable to the latest security flaw that is in the news?
[17:16] <Third3ye> gdc77: yes, nvidia-experimental-310
[17:17] <gdc77> Third3ye: experimental?
[17:17] <yeehi> Updated firmware for a SSD is v important. Will Ubuntu Quantal do this automatically, after installation? Samsung 840 pro
[17:17] <theadmin> Tellmarch: Ubuntu uses OpenJDK rather than Oracle's JVM. But since they share a lot of the same codebase, it may be possible. However, I'm not quite sure which vulnerability you mean. A link would help.
[17:17] <gdc77> Third3ye: which card?
[17:17] <Tellmarch> theadmin, http://www.kb.cert.org/vuls/id/625617
[17:17] <Third3ye> gdc77: it was recommended by the steam docu, but stable didn't work with hdmi audio neither
[17:17] <Third3ye> gdc77: GeForce 6800M GT
[17:18] <gdc77> Third3ye: this might help: http://askubuntu.com/questions/218799/hdmi-audio-not-working-on-ubuntu-12-10
[17:18] <gdc77> Third3ye: sorry i didn't read it through lol, but the problem is the same
[17:19] <theadmin> Tellmarch: Hm. I am not sure. May be fixed by now...
[17:19] <Tellmarch> I read in the news that the only "fix" is to disable the java plugins...
[17:20] <Miebster> So installing the nvidia-current didn't do anything, still only 1 display, no other options
[17:20] <Third3ye> gdc77: I uninstalled unity in favour of kde, and the multimedia settings doesn't allow me to switch profiles
[17:20] <ixio2> what software/tools should I be researching to achieve a terminal services type environment for Ubuntu? a customer has an office of 5 ubuntu desktops and they want to switch to cloud hosted + thin clients in the office.
[17:21] <Lexant> whois Electron
[17:21] <gdc77> Third3ye: hmmm, idk anything about kde
[17:21] <nyuszika7h> usr13 I said it's NOT Android
[17:21] <PrOReBeLL> hello everyone
[17:21] <nyuszika7h> anyway, never mind
[17:22] <nyuszika7h> I was able to ssh in
[17:22] <Third3ye> gdc77: Know how to change the profile in terminal?
[17:22] <Miebster> Third3ye: thoughts about my 2nd display? Still no where does the system even tell me the name of the card
[17:22] <jil> Ok thx again
[17:22] <usr13> ixio2: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ThinClientHowto
[17:22] <ixio2> lol thanks usr13 how obvious :P
[17:22] <usr13> nyuszika7h: I'm sorry.
[17:22] <Third3ye> Miebster: alternatively you can google for the output of lspci |grep VGA or install hwinfo and run hwinfo --gfx
[17:23] <gdc77> Third3ye: there's a command to set the sound profile apparently
[17:23] <gdc77> Third3ye, maybe it won't work for you though, it got downvoted here: http://askubuntu.com/questions/237230/tv-screen-disconnect-when-playing-sound-over-hdmi
[17:24] <usr13> ixio2: NP
[17:24] <Third3ye> gdc77: no, that just changes to the HDMI codec -- which the media settings in KDE is capable of doing
[17:25] <Miebster> Third3ye: Found nvidia setting option in SysInfo (which doens't come with ubuntu) and not in system settings (still shows old setting page)
[17:26] <gdc77> Third3ye, see what Miebster wrote
[17:27] <ChronicleX> hlw guys i don't know if it is right question to ask but i'm very concerned about it. How can i hide my   on xchat?
[17:28] <Third3ye> Miebster: I found hwinfo was a bit more specific. Try using that (it's a terminal app)
[17:28] <ChronicleX> hide my IP*
[17:28] <llutz> ChronicleX: ask in #freenode for a cloak, read FAQ before
[17:28] <diverdude> in /etc/fstab i have this: curlftpfs#uname:pwd@ftp://host /media/ftpmountdir fuse rw,uid=1000,umask=0777,user,suid,allow_other,exec,auto,utf8 0 1. But when i do sudo mount -a i get: Error connecting to ftp: Access denied: 530. However if i put the exact same credentials into filezilla it connects with no problems. What am I missing?
[17:28] <Lebby> hi
[17:28] <Miebster> Third3ye: For reference, this is what I'm seeing http://i.imgur.com/gmquo.jpg
[17:28] <Third3ye> We've got a situation of "the blind leading the blind"
[17:29] <Third3ye> Miebster: Uhhh... that seems awfully strange
[17:29] <ChronicleX> 1lutz? cloak?
[17:29] <Third3ye> The nvidia drivers should be able to recognise the gfx core you're using.
[17:29] <orudie> for some reason when I right click the window and select "move window to workspace on right" , ubuntu just closes the window instead of moving it
[17:29] <Lebby> I want to share my internet connection on wifi with another device using the same interface ... how i can do it?
[17:29] <Miebster> Third3ye: Oh it will get even weirder. I have to set it up the way I want, but if I click apply it will say "error dont do that!" and then I hit "save xconf anyways" and then close the app and lot let it realized it saved something it thinks is wrong, and then reboot and it will work
[17:30] <Lebby> same wireless interface ,,,
[17:30] <Tellmarch> orudie, are you sure it's not just you not seeing it?
[17:30] <llutz> ChronicleX: most important thing is: ask in #freenode, and yes, it's called a cloak.  http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#cloaks
[17:31] <llutz> diverdude: is root in the fuse-group?
[17:31] <ChronicleX> 1lutz : :) thanks
[17:31] <diverdude> llutz, ahh is that it?
[17:31] <llutz> diverdude: does mount /media/ftpmountdir          as user do?
[17:32] <llutz> diverdude: each user wanting to use fuse-fs needs to be member of fuse-group
[17:32] <usr13> orudie: You can't
[17:33] <usr13> Lebby: You can't
[17:33] <usr13> orudie: Sorry, wrong nick.
[17:33] <diverdude> llutz, how do i add root to fuse-group?
[17:34] <llutz> diverdude: you don't, its not a good idea to let root use fuse-fs
[17:34] <Lebby> usr13:  i'm doing now by windows ... so don't say ... you can't ...
[17:34] <Lebby> usr13:  maybe i can't in ubuntu?
[17:34] <Miebster> instead of rebooting is there a way to just restart X11?
[17:35] <Wireless> Hello I am having trouble with my cisco cardbus can anyone help me please?
[17:35] <bekks> Wireless: Please start describing your actual issue.
[17:36] <usr13> Lebby: Exactly what are you doing?  You say that you have a wireless connection that you share via the same wireless device?  Is that correct?
[17:36] <Wireless> bekks: I have an aironet air-cb21ag-a-k9 cardbus that i am trying to get internet on and it is showing up under wired connection instead of wireless connection
[17:37] <vith_> oh my. the TTS voice on ubuntu sounds almost like a dalek.
[17:37] <vith_> if only the pitch would shift upwards throughout the sentence
[17:37] <usr13> Lebby: You have a wireless device that is connecting to a WiFi network and also acting as an AP on an additional WiFi network?  Is that what you are saying.
[17:38] <usr13> Lebby: ?
[17:38] <Lebby> usr13: y, you got it
[17:38] <Lebby> usr13: only with one wifi interface
[17:38] <usr13> Lebby: Tell us the make and model of the WiFi device.
[17:39] <usr13> Lebby: Or if it is a laptop, them make and model.
[17:39] <warrrior> hello to everybody I have a problem with hitting the centre of the screen. I have installed the nvidia drivers and set up centre through monitor, but I am not able completely to see the windows and desktop
[17:39] <Lebby> usr13: it's not a special device ... is a notebook wifi
[17:39] <Lebby> usr13: and it's not a special features of this network device ...
[17:39] <usr13> Lebby: It's not a special device, it is two of them, (and one has AP mode).
[17:40] <Wireless> bekks: Its on a panasonic cf-72 laptop with xubuntu 12.10 running OS
[17:40] <Lebby> usr13: you're wrong ...
[17:40] <Lebby> usr13: do u know virtual wifi in windows?
[17:40] <usr13> Lebby: Then tell us what it is.
[17:41] <z_Chanshark> does anyone know how to  fix the  fatal: module ndiswrapper not found error when trying to install wifi  drivers
[17:41] <warrrior> hello to everybody I have a problem with hitting the centre of the screen. I have installed the nvidia drivers and set up centre through monitor, but I am not able completely to see the windows and desktop
[17:41] <Lebby> usr13: ok ... i'll say you: atheros ar5b93
[17:41] <diverdude> llutz, but if i do mount -a and omit the -a switch it says only root can do that
[17:42] <bekks> Wireless: It is showing uner wired because technically - from the point of view of your laptop, it is wired. And on the other end of the device is some wireless connector..
[17:42] <Wireless> warrior: I had the same problem trying to install ubuntu but instead installed Xubuntu 12.10 its a lighter OS than the original
[17:42] <Lebby> usr131: ok link on virtual wifi: http://www.istartedsomething.com/20090516/windows-7-native-virtual-wifi-technology-microsoft-research/ .... so u can understand it!
[17:43] <Lebby> usr13: now ... do u know a similar tech in ubuntu/linux?
[17:43] <llutz> diverdude: does "mount /media/ftpmountdir"          as user work?
[17:44] <Wireless> bekks: I follow what you re saying about the laptop thinking its wired. I have tried other wireless cardbuses and they work under wireless on the laptop. Is there a way to make the OS think its a wireless card?
[17:44] <diverdude> llutz, $ mount /media/ftpfeinsmk/
[17:44] <diverdude> Error connecting to ftp: Access denied: 530
[17:44] <Lebby> usr13: i tried with hostapd that is software ap, aka SoftAp ... but i don't know how to connect in same time ... i can do or ap , or client ... not both
[17:44] <bekks> Wireless: I have no clue about that, I dont have cardbus hw anymore.
[17:44] <aFeijo> this is REALLY funny that ubuntu 12.10 now bring a pretty button at the luncher for a FLOPPY??? Really?? ROFL
[17:45] <aFeijo> note: my notebook does not have a floppy, ovbiously!!!
[17:45] <Wireless> bekks: thank you for trying
[17:45] <z_Chanshark> hey i still use floppy disk
[17:45] <ixio2> usr13 that doc u linked doesnt help me but thanks anyway.. I am more interested in a kind of remote desktop environment.. something like terminal services, but for Ubuntu
[17:45] <llutz> diverdude: ls -ld /media/ftpfeinsmk/
[17:45] <Virunga> Hi, i'd like to give to a user the possibility executing commands as root, so i though to create the sudo group (uncommenting the line in the sudoers file) and add the user to the group. Is it ok like this?
[17:45] <diverdude> llutz,  $ ls -ld /media/ftpfeinsmk/
[17:45] <diverdude> drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Jan 11 00:53 /media/ftpfeinsmk/
[17:46] <llutz> diverdude: man fuse
[17:46] <llutz> diverdude: your user needs write-access to the mountpoint, adjust permissions
[17:46] <ixio2> Virunga I think you can: sudo adduser <username> sudo
[17:47] <Virunga> ixio2: but the user already exists, is good anyway?
[17:47] <ixio2> its fine yeagh
[17:47] <iLogical> can I fill my harddrive with random junk after installing if I used full system encryption?
[17:47] <Virunga> ixio2: But i have to create the sudo group first, right?
[17:47] <ixio2> Virunga no it already exists
[17:47] <ixio2> just do the command
[17:47] <iLogical> so that people won't be able to differentiate junk from encrypted data?
[17:48] <aFeijo> z_Chanshark, I'm very sorry that you need floppy hehehe
[17:48] <jamesrward> I just did something rather stupid and can't seem to undo it.  Running ubuntu 12.10 and everything was running fine.  Today when I booted up my wireless failed to connect.  I figured I would disable and re-enable wireless to get it to connect.  I unchecked enable wireless from the wireless menu in the top bar and now there is no option to enable it.  I rebooted to see if that would help and now the wireless menu is gone from
[17:48] <ixio2> they would decrypt the disk in its entirety so I dont see how that accompliushes anything.. also the more encryted data they have the quicker they can reverse engineer it.. or so I beleive
[17:48] <jamesrward> top bar.  Where do I go to turn it back on?
[17:48] <aFeijo> how can I remove that floppy from my files browser?
[17:49] <aFeijo> nautilus
[17:49] <diverdude> llutz, now i have this ls -ld /media/ftpfeinsmk/
[17:49] <diverdude> drwxrwxrwx 2 root root 4096 Jan 11 00:53 /media/ftpfeinsmk/
[17:49] <Virunga> ixio2: thanks
[17:49] <diverdude> llutz, and still same error occurs
[17:50] <deadperson> is there exist any program work like EZproxy?  but free ...
[17:50] <llutz> diverdude: thats odd. does "curlftps ftp://whatever /media/ftpeinsmk" work?
[17:51] <ChronicleX> couldn't get this cloak concept :(
[17:51] <uolot> hi
[17:52] <diverdude> llutz, no, that gives same error
[17:52] <jamesrward> I ran sudo rfkill unblock all and that brought the wireless icon back but the enable wireless option is now greyed out.  This was working fine until i unchecked enable wireless.
[17:53] <panoram> hi, is this proper channel if I need some help?
[17:55] <k1l_> !help | panoram
[17:55] <nunya> I used to have System>Services or Settings>Services in my xfce-applications.menu but now it is gone. I have googled the bejeezes but can't find anything related
[17:55] <diverdude> llutz, any idea why?
[17:55] <llutz> diverdude: not really, no
[17:56] <panoram> !help
[17:56] <Lebby> anyone know how to configure a wifi interface as Ap and as STA simultaneously?
[17:56] <Lebby> usr13: no clue?
[17:56] <panoram> !patience
[17:56] <llutz> diverdude: maybe  "curlftps -v ftp://whatever /media/ftpeinsmk" gives more verbose output and an idea where to look at
[17:57] <diverdude> llutz, yeah...just did that
[17:57] <llutz> diverdude: you also could try to check the ftp-log on remote host (if you have access to it)
[17:57] <diverdude> llutz, i get this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1520530/
[17:58] <llutz> diverdude: "USER anonymous"
[17:58] <llutz> diverdude: "curlftps -v ftp://user:pass@whatever /media/ftpeinsmk"

[18:09] <Wireless> The wireless device is a AIR-CB21AG-A-K9 cisco aironet wireless cardbus, please anyone help.
[18:11] <feeshon> Seems like it hung up correctly http://pastiebin.com/?page=p&id=50f055c532cb4

[18:13] <mat619> Hi there! Need some help configuring remote SSH access... I've installed sshd (via tasksel during installation), configured it, and it works locally. my router is forwarding TCP traffic on a port different from 22 to the box's port 22, but I don't get a response
[18:13] <demonio> I installed ubuntu 12.10 but my graphich card gets mistake
[18:13] <demonio> Can anyone help me ?
[18:13] <feeshon> demonio: What graphics card are you using?
[18:14] <rosenzweig> Okay, I have a small issue.
[18:14] <feeshon> demonio: What driver are you using?
[18:14] <SwedeMike> mat619: you should verify using wireshark on the local box that you're actually getting the packet destined for port 22.
[18:14] <rosenzweig> I had to install the legacy ati drivers through the package on the AMD website.
[18:14] <rosenzweig> For what ever reason they didn't work and now I'm on fallback drivers.
[18:14] <mat619> SwedeMike: I thought about using wireshark for analysis but installing it on that system would be overkill - it's a thinclient running of a CF card
[18:15] <rosenzweig> I tried uninstalling the ati drivers via the uninstall script and when I did that I couldn't boot to the desktop (it would hang on the background picture after log in).
[18:15] <mat619> SwedeMike: and I don't have a system at hand right now that could serve as packet sniffer
[18:15] <rosenzweig> How do I completely uninstall the ATI driver package?
[18:15] <demonio> feeshon wait i'll ceck
[18:15] <jab416171> I think my local DNS server injects lines into my /etc/resolv.conf when I connect to the network, but I want to append to what it injects. So I'm editing /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/. The only issue is that you can't have multiple "search" directives in the file, it ignores all but the last one.
[18:15] <feeshon> sorry can anyone assist with this error http://pastiebin.com/?page=p&id=50f055c532cb4
[18:16] <Lebby> feeshon:  you have a problem on hostname configuration
[18:16] <mat619> by the way, forgot to mention, at least ssh doesn't say the connection was refused. I just get an empty prompt, no password prompt, nothing, until I hit ^C
[18:17] <Lebby> feeshon:  i'm not sure ... but it could ... you must check you hostname
[18:17] <mat619> for fun i also tried bbssh from my blackberry, that just times out and states "Notice: NULL". very informative
[18:17] <SwedeMike> mat619: try tcpdump instead then. "tcpdump -i eth0 port 22"
[18:18] <Lebby> feeshon:  then i suggest to remove samba ... autoremove ... update ... upgrade and then reinstall samba
[18:19] <mat619> SwedeMike: good point, completely forgot about the obvious
[18:19] <jab416171> any advice?
[18:19] <feeshon> OK thank you Lebby I working on that now

[18:20] <mat619> SwedeMike: well looks like there's no traffic arriving at all. great.
[18:21] <RFleming> Greetings!
[18:21] <mat619> SwedeMike: must be my fritzbox's fault then
[18:21] <feeshon> Thank you Lebby
[18:22] <RFleming> I've installed Ubuntu 12.10 and all the packages I like, want, need, syncronised my music from Google and all my other files with my other cloud storage.  Now I realise I made a huge mistake by encrypting my home directory only and wish to decrypt it.  How do I go about doing that?
[18:23] <feeshon> demonio: did you install the additional nvidia driver/
[18:23] <feeshon> ?
[18:23] <RFleming> I really don't want to reinstall
[18:24] <demonio> feeshon no how can i do it ? Now i'm in terminal emergency
[18:24] <mat619> SwedeMike: hm, does ubuntu deny SSH from outside hosts by default?
[18:24] <feeshon> you need to use the additional drivers utility
[18:25] <demonio> Can i do it by terminal ?
[18:27] <feeshon> Lebby: I get the same error when I install samba4
[18:27] <feeshon> demonio: There is always google :) I don't know how to do install additional drivers from terminal
[18:27] <feeshon> I did a remove
[18:28] <MonkeyDust> feeshon  sudo apt-get purge samba4;sudo apt-get autoremove;sudo apt-get install samba4
[18:28] <demonio> freeshon Ok thanks :)
[18:29] <feeshon> MonkeyDust: Ok trying that now
[18:30] <feeshon> thank you

[18:31] <delac> how to list devices connected to ad-hoc network?
[18:32] <syrius> Having an issue and not sure if anyone else has experienced this lately. A few days ago I noticed grub2 updated itself. For the first time since I've owned this laptop, I'm having intermittent boot issues.
[18:32] <syrius> It makes it to grub each time, but getting different errors from there that prevent it from booting into ubuntu
[18:32] <syrius> Error: file not found.... Error: device not found... Need to load kernel first, etc.. Among others..
[18:33] <escott> syrius, could it be that there is a new kernel?
[18:33] <syrius> Is that indicative of anything from any initial impressions?
[18:33] <syrius> escott
[18:33] <syrius> oh..
[18:33] <syrius> potentially
[18:33] <FloodBot1> syrius: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[18:33] <escott> syrius, in either case its a timing issue. you can add some rootdelay args to the kernel or add some delays to grub
[18:34] <syrius> escott: Very interesting. I'll look into that. I was about to do a memcheck.. I thoguht maybe something was amiss with the HDD, but the SMART check utility is checking out fine (not sure how reliable that is)
[18:34] <feeshon> MonkeyDust: still the same thing
[18:34] <fxworker> Hi Ubuntu-Experts
[18:34] <syrius> escott: I ALSO had a problem yesterday (only once thoug) where it didn't make it to grub, but every other time after that it has
[18:34] <feeshon> this is a brand new install of ubuntu 12.04 LTS
[18:34] <lacrymology> I usually use my laptop with an HDMI cable connected to a monitor
[18:34] <feeshon> Just installed some dependencies
[18:34] <fxworker> I´m struggling with a problem since many weeks and I hope to get help here.
[18:34] <lacrymology> now I've unplugged it I think for the first time since last install
[18:35] <lacrymology> and I can't change resolution, I'm stuck at 640x480
[18:35] <MonkeyDust> feeshon  try sudo apt-get update, first
[18:35] <bryanrohrer> Good afternoon
[18:35] <tgs3> why the ubuntu home folder encryption can stop working... troubleshoot ?
[18:35] <fxworker> I´ve a ubuntu-10.0.4-server and need to open ports for another ubuntu-server, but I can´t get it done.
[18:35] <MonkeyDust> fxworker  #ubuntu-server
[18:35] <syrius> escott: you mentioned adding a root delay to the kernel, or a delay to grub itself. Is any one of those preferrable to the other?
[18:35] <fxworker> Now I don´t now if iptables is working or not, or is ufw active.
[18:35] <feeshon> fxworker: What ports and what does you iptables look like?
[18:36] <fxworker> I´ve installed webmin on it. I tried to define rules for iptabels over webmin.
[18:36] <MonkeyDust> fxworker  webmin is no longer adviced
[18:36] <bryanrohrer> I am trying to get Unbuntu updated on one server and do a duel boot on another.
[18:36] <escott> syrius, i would suspect its the kernel and add a rootdelay arg to your /etc/default/grub
[18:37] <fxworker> When I enter this command: nmap -P0 -sU myIP, then I get this list:
[18:37] <fxworker> Not shown: 997 closed ports
[18:37] <fxworker> PORT      STATE         SERVICE

[18:37] <FloodBot1> fxworker: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[18:37] <bryanrohrer> Neither are working
[18:37] <syrius> escott: I will give that a try. Thank you for the suggestion.
[18:37] <tgs3> !encrypt
[18:37] <Rienzilla> hey there
[18:38] <fxworker> The problem is, when I apply the changes for iptables in webmin, then I don´t see any effect.
[18:38] <bryanrohrer> Hey Rienzilla
[18:38] <fxworker> @MonkeyDust: What else can I use instead of webmin?
[18:39] <Rienzilla> I am working on an ubuntu system, but the tools are french.... is there an easy way to make them talk english to me? :)
[18:39] <z_Chanshark> is anyone having the same problem as me, having the ndiswapper not work and giving you the error  fatal: module ndiswrapper not found
[18:39] <Rienzilla> lol, souhaitez-vous continuer [O/n] :)
[18:40] <fxworker> @feeshon: fxworker: What ports and what does you iptables look like? => What do you mean by this?
[18:40] <MonkeyDust> fxworker  try !zentyal
[18:40] <fxworker> Aha, ok, lets have a look
[18:40] <escott> !locale
[18:40] <escott> Rienzilla, ^^
[18:41] <feeshon> MonkeyDust: Still no go even with update
[18:41] <feeshon> I get a ton of errors
[18:41] <bono> q
[18:42] <feeshon> Lebby:
[18:42] <bono> sorry
[18:42] <feeshon> Lebby: any ideas?
[18:42] <Lebby> feeshon: y
[18:42] <fxworker> Well, if I use the commandline, how to activate the iptables-rules? And how can I check, wheather iptables is active?
[18:42] <Rienzilla> escott: ty
[18:42] <Lebby> feeshon:  yes
[18:42] <escott> fxworker, sudo iptables -L
[18:42] <Lebby> feeshon:  sudo apt-get remove samba-* samba4 samba4-* --purge
[18:42] <MonkeyDust> feeshon  what's the output of lsb_release -sd ?
[18:43] <syrius> escott: Are you talking about the delay in GRUB that dictates how long it waits before automatically selecting the first kernel?
[18:43] <fxworker> I have this for Input and output:
[18:43] <fxworker> ACCEPT     udp  --  anywhere             anywhere            udp dpt:10000
[18:43] <fxworker> And port 10000 is what I need.
[18:43] <escott> syrius, no "rootdelay" which is an argument that the kernel uses to delay searching for the root device
[18:43] <syrius> escott: ok that makes more sense. I don't see that in the /etc/default/grub file
[18:44] <fxworker> But when I try this command from another server, it has no access: sudo nmap -P0 -sU server1_IP
[18:44] <escott> syrius, rootdelay=seconds
[18:44] <Lebby> feeshon:  when u done ... call me
[18:44] <syrius> escott: alright. 5 should be adequate?
[18:44] <escott> syrius, add to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT
[18:44] <syrius> ah
[18:44] <escott> syrius, then update-grub
[18:44] <Lebby> feeshon:  after u removed we wil search manually all conf file and we will remove
[18:44] <syrius> escott: I see the GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT. Thank you :)
[18:44] <escott> syrius, it could be you need a delay somewhere else in the boot, but thats the most commonly used one for the kernel
[18:45] <fxworker> When I try this command from another server, it has no access: sudo nmap -P0 -sU server1_IP
[18:45] <syrius> escoot: it's so odd, because I've been using this day in and day out for months now, and yesterday is the first time it started doing it
[18:45] <syrius> maybe i should roll back a kernel and see if it keeps happening
[18:45] <escott> syrius, thats a good way to verify if it is the kernel
[18:46] <escott> syrius, but it is not in and of itself strange that the kernel change could cause a timing issue
[18:47] <syrius> escott: that's good to know.. so i might have stepped on myself, as yesterday i *removed* all the old kernels except the current
[18:47] <Lebby> i have a pc connected to an ap by wifi. I want to connect a device on pc by wifi. The pc has 1 wifi interface. It is possible in windows. Is it possibile in linux? How? I tried hostapd ... and it works if i must create an ap ... but i can't connect ... i tried to create an iw alias .... but hostapd crash ...
[18:47] <Lebby> feeshon: are u here?
[18:47] <MonkeyDust> Lebby  internet sharing?
[18:47] <Lebby> MonkeyDust: y
[18:48] <MonkeyDust> !ics | Lebby
[18:48] <escott> syrius, you can still install the old ones, you probably have the debs in /var/cache/apt
[18:48] <syrius> ah okay i'll look there
[18:48] <Lebby> MonkeyDust:  it doesn't explain how to share using same device that is an ap
[18:48] <syrius> hrmm i'm only seeing 3.2.0-35 there, which is what i'm running atm
[18:48] <syrius> is there an easy way to spell 3.2.0-34 using apt-get?
[18:49] <syrius> err s/spell/specify
[18:50] <mohammad> hello
[18:50] <syrius> Looks like I'll have to find the .34 deb somewhere
[18:53] <geniusz> kurwa
[18:53] <dhanasekaran> Hi Guys How to send HTML email using command line
[18:53] <bekks> geniusz: Watch your language please ;)
[18:56] <nUmBeR> hi!
[18:56] <phunyguy> Yeah, in KDE settings I have "Use Manually Specified Proxy" checked, and for SOCKS I have "localhost:1080" set.  I do have a valid SSH tunnel with port 1080 forwarded to a remote server.  This worked under regular Ubuntu, but not in Kubuntu. Apps seem to ignore the fact that there is a proxy needing to be used.
[18:57] <nUmBeR> Do you can help me?
[18:58] <bekks> We dont know.
[18:58] <nUmBeR> mmm
[18:58] <DJones> !ask | nUmBeR
[18:58] <nUmBeR> ok
[18:58] <z_Chanshark> nUmBeR: what do you need help with
[19:00] <nUmBeR> I´m looking for a channel because I´m looking for a freeshell
[19:00] <nUmBeR> Do you can tell me where?
[19:00] <sh3llc0d3r> hellllllllllllllllllllllllo there
[19:01] <bekks> nUmBeR: Whats a freeshell?
[19:01] <nUmBeR> sh3llc0d3r hi
[19:01] <DJones> nUmBeR: This is Ubuntu support, we don't deal with free shells
[19:01] <z_Chanshark> nUmBeR:  im not really sure what your asking
[19:02] <syrius> escott: http://i.imgur.com/0A2Lo.png --- do you think this could be the problem? this is the HDD grub is on, and smart check, while it says healthy, also denotes that there were 'read errors'
[19:03] <nUmBeR> I know for sure here in this server there is a channel about that, but I don´t know What´s is..
[19:03] <escott> syrius,i  usually dont look at that value. things like remapped sector counts are more useful
[19:03] <llutz> !alis | nUmBeR
[19:03] <syrius> escott: alright, just checking. thank you
[19:03] <z_Chanshark> does anyone have a fix for bug #986064 "FATEL: Module ndiswrapper not found"

[19:03] <disharmonic> is there a way to make Steam and Wine/Steam look or be named different in Dash?
[19:04] <phunyguy> disharmonic, the launchers are found in /usr/share/applications
[19:04] <MrStein> Hi! Is install to USB key supported by the default installer? Google only find ancient stuff regarding this.
[19:04] <phunyguy> you can change the name there
[19:04] <bekks> !usb | MrStein
[19:04] <disharmonic> phunyguy, cheers
[19:05] <MrStein> bekks: "to", not "from"
[19:05] <phunyguy> if you get something wrong, there are a few guides out there, and if Unity doesn't like what you changed, it will hide the icon on you.  :)
[19:06] <bekks> MrStein: Then read the second part of what ubottu told you please.
[19:06] <nabblet> when i use "ls -al" in what format is the file size displayed to me? byte?
[19:06] <d4vidb> Well I successfully ran Ubuntu 12.04 installed on 16GB USB stick
[19:06] <bekks> nabblet: Yes.
[19:07] <nabblet> bekks: if i want to convert it to GB, should i use base 10 or base 2?
[19:08] <MonkWitDaFunk> how much free space do you have now d4vidb
[19:08] <bekks> nabblet: Just use ls -lha
[19:08] <MrStein> bekks: I just did... sorry , sometimes my finger overtake my thoughts
[19:08] <MrStein> fingers
[19:08] <nabblet> bekks: afaig for transmssion rates 1kB=2^10B
[19:08] <nabblet> bekks: this is what i do... i was jsut wondering
[19:08] <ixio2b> what tools/software can be used to acheive a terminal services like configuration with Ubuntu? I need a cloud hosted Ubuntu server that windows, ubuntu and thin clients can connect to and have a standard set of applications etc
[19:08] <nabblet> bekks: since i wanted to estimant some transmission times
[19:09] <z_Chanshark> lol nabblet  i pluged in my external hardrive and it told me i had 15,002,500,000 bytes
[19:09] <bishops> hello, i have a problem with trying to connect a logitech k810 keyboard through bluetooth to ubuntu 12.10
[19:09] <nabblet> ixio2b: if you need only the applications use ssh -X
[19:09] <MonkWitDaFunk> linux terminal server project
[19:10] <ixio2b> nabblet can you elaborate please?
[19:10] <bishops> bluetooth seems to crash or to give error message
[19:10] <ixio2b> this needs to be reasonably straight forward for users to access from different types of devices
[19:10] <Mathias> i got some problems connecting to a pptp-vpn server (actually, multiple servers)
[19:10] <ixio2b> like terminal services would be..
[19:11] <MonkeyDust> ixio2b  is ownCloud what you're looking for?
[19:11] <z_Chanshark> hey does anyone know how to fix the wifi problem FATAL: Module ndiswrapper not found
[19:11] <ixio2b> owncloud can give me a virtual desktop?
[19:12] <ixio2b> z_Chanshark: /sbin/modprobe nidswrapper
[19:12] <MonkWitDaFunk> ixio2, you can use grub to boot an is dedicated to a specific task
[19:12] <MonkWitDaFunk> an OS
[19:12] <z_Chanshark> ixio2b:  yea that, i have tried like every guide of fixing it
[19:13] <ixio2b> MonkWitDaFunk: do you know what terminal services is ?
[19:13] <MonkeyDust> ixio2b  is this useful? http://owncloud.org/features/
[19:14] <ixio2b> nope
[19:14] <MonkeyDust> ok
[19:14] <ixio2b> lol
[19:14] <MonkWitDaFunk> i think its booting an is over a network right? ive used systems that network boot
[19:14] <MonkWitDaFunk> an os*
[19:14] <ixio2b> no I dont wantt boot over a network
[19:14] <ixio2b> forget I even mentioned thin client for now
[19:14] <MonkWitDaFunk> ok. sorry
[19:15] <ixio2b> I want to have a cloudserver that people from anywhere in the world can login to and have a desktop
[19:15] <z_Chanshark> i want my wifi to work :D
[19:16] <MonkeyDust> ixio2b  sounds 'très' Citrix to me
[19:16] <ixio2b> MonkeyDust yes, I am looking for a citrix/nomachine/terminal services alternative
[19:16] <ixio2b> for 5 users
[19:17] <Mathias> ixio2b: vnc over ssh into a vm? :P
[19:17] <MonkeyDust> ixio2b  something like this? http://www.xen.org/products/cloudxen.html
[19:18] <Overjoy> hi
[19:18] <ixio2b> VDI would work, but I would have to have 5 of them.. whereas with citrix/TS/nomachine I only need one of them
[19:18] <Overjoy> oi
[19:18] <z_Chanshark> hi
[19:18] <Overjoy> i`am portuguese of brazil
[19:18] <MonkeyDust> !br
[19:18] <modifier> which chips are better RaLink or Broadcom ? i have 2 cards one RALINK RT3090BC4 and Broadcom BCM94313HMGB.....which card to use ?
[19:19] <Mathias> modifier: it depends
[19:19] <modifier> Mathias: means ?
[19:21] <Miebster_> When you have an alternate name like Miebster|atwork do you register that name as well?
[19:22] <MonkeyDust> Miebster_  ask in #freenode
[19:22] <irule>  ip route | grep default
[19:22] <irule> 	hi, just installed lts erver with ncrypted LVM, it asks for encryted passphrase, how may I skip te passpfrase requirement? this will be a server, not a desktop
[19:23] <modifier> Mathias: how to find which card is better ? i have given both cards model name and number RALINK RT3090BC4 and Broadcom BCM94313HMGB
[19:23] <bekks> irule: It is pointless to skip that when using encryption.
[19:23] <irule> is it impossible?
[19:23] <wN> irule: yes
[19:23] <wN> irule: man cryptsetup
[19:23] <nibbler> in cryptsetup / luks - is there any way to decrypt two volumes at once, with one passphrase?
[19:24] <z_Chanshark> anyone happen to know how to fix ndiswarpper, so i can get wifi working again
[19:24] <nibbler> irule: what is encryption good for, if there is no key to decrypt?
[19:24] <nibbler> irule: you can have a remote-decryptable server, during boot you'd have to ssh to it to enter the password
[19:24] <modifier> bekks: how to find which card is better ? i have given both cards model name and number RALINK RT3090BC4 and Broadcom BCM94313HMGB
[19:25] <z_Chanshark> test them modifier
[19:25] <irule> I use a n ssh key for password free login and more security, a server that needs me to be tere is pointless becuase I travel a lot
[19:25] <MonkeyDust> modifier  try both, then decide which you prefer more
[19:25] <modifier> z_Chanshark: MonkeyDust how ??
[19:25] <kieppie> happy new year all

[19:26] <Ziber> I'm dual booting windows 7 and ubuntu. I want to safely extend my Ubuntu partition from 50G to 100G. What's the safest way to do this?
[19:26] <Slart> adam_8606: not sure if you can.. there might be other programs that can create html files or similar though
[19:26] <kieppie> I've just set up a new OS (12.04) from the mini.iso - all looks good, but I don't have any video-out (VGA or DVI). I'm able to log in via SSH, but bupkis on the TTY's
[19:27] <Slart> adam_8606: or it has to be copy/paste to libreoffice?
[19:27] <bishops> hello, i have a problem with trying to connect a logitech k810 keyboard through bluetooth to ubuntu 12.10. bluetooth seems to crash or to give error message. Anyone can help?

[19:27] <z_Chanshark> just google it or somthing modifier
[19:27] <Ziber> z_Chanshark: Expand what? I'd have to downsize the win7 parition first...

[19:30] <MonkeyDust> Guest8729  wrong channel, ask in #debian
[19:30] <disharmonic> 15TB? you must have a time machine :P

[19:31] <MonkeyDust> Guest8729  if ubuntu were the same as debian, there would be no need for a different name, you're in the wrong channel
[19:31] <Slart> adam_8606: this one might work as well.. copy/paste to the web-page, select hightlight style, copy paste again to OOO
[19:32] <Guest8729> MonkeyDust: Debian-based.
[19:32] <angs> I installed wubi a month ago. Recently when ubuntu 12.10 is started, I don't have any network interface working. During the start up I get "booting system without full network configuration" warning. how can I solve the problem?
[19:32] <adam_8606> slart: will try that now thanks
[19:33] <MonkeyDust> Guest8729  ask in #debian and wait a little longer for an answer, you won't get it here

[19:36] <riderplus> if i start gksu nautilus, the device's name looks like "Free"
[19:37] <riderplus> z_Chanshark: any clue why is that so?
[19:37] <Slart> Miebster|atwork: there are so many settings in compiz, you might want to check  (using compizconfig-settingsmanager)
[19:37] <z_Chanshark> no idea but i think if you change the name it will fix it
[19:37] <riderplus> z_Chanshark: how can I do that?

[19:51] <ixio2b> http://www.ltsp.org/  <-- does anyone know whether this would allow a connection windows to a desktop environment?
[19:51] <ixio2b> from windows to a ubuntu desktop environment *
[19:53] <Steven4242> hello
[19:53] <jhutchins_wk> ixio2: That's not what it's for.
[19:53] <Steven4242> is this ubuntu help?
[19:53] <compdoc> yes
[19:53] <TheLordOfTime> Steven4242, yes, ask your question.
[19:54] <Miebster> Okay I really need a way to turn off the Unity launch bar on my second monitor.  Id like to just get rid of it or use something other than unity if it cant get rid of it.
[19:55] <Steven4242> I am a complete linux newbie so please bare with me. I was upgrading from 12.04 to 12.10 and during the installation it asked me if it should kill something called KDM.. I clicked yes and then it booted me into terminal I believe and then the computer did nothing so I reset it and now when I boot into ubuntu it goes haywire.. I assume I have to reinstall but I dont know how
[19:55] <Steven4242> I am currently typing from my laptop so I can access my main computer at the same time
[19:55] <Feedhurley> Hello, I tried to format one of my disks and gparted said it was successful and at first it looks like it did, but I can not do anything with the partitions, neither create or copy any files/folders in it :/ what should I do?
[19:55] <jhutchins_wk> ixio2: ltsp allows a central copy of Linux to run on light-weight "terminal" display, with the actual execution on the central server.
[19:55] <compdoc> Steven4242, do you have files you need to rescue?
[19:56] <Steven4242> sorry to sound like an idiot but I don't know?
[19:56] <z_Chanshark> can someone help me,  i cant get ndiswrapper to work i keep getting this error when trying to install my wifi drivers FATAL: Module ndiswrapper not found
[19:56] <jhutchins_wk> ixio2: If you want to access a Linux desktop from Windows you need an RDP or VNC server on the linux box.
[19:56] <Rienzilla> pff I really can't find my way around the new grub.d setup
[19:56] <robotfuel> Miebster: you can turn off the unity launch bar on your second monitor by going to system-settings and then display
[19:57] <compdoc> Steven4242, I mean docs and music files, etc? doesnt sound like it
[19:57] <Laibsch> How can I completely deinstall the universal access features?  I know technically how to do that but I am not sure in what package they are hiding.  I'm talking about the sticky keys in particular. I run precise unity.
[19:57] <Miebster> robotfuel: No I cant, that dialog doens't even have my second monitor listed (even though its on and working)
[19:57] <Steven4242> compdoc, oh all of that is on my windows partition however linux is on its own and so I guess it's ok
[19:58] <compdoc> Steven4242, personally, I think 12.04 is better, but you'll need to boot the install cd and either repair it, or install fresh
[19:58] <Miebster> robotfuel: I think I figured it out, the nividia settings made my display look like 1 big one
[19:59] <MonkeyDust> ixio2  could jolicloud be what you want/need ?
[19:59] <Steven4242> compdoc ah ok well I have downloaded the iso from ubuntu so I will burn it to a cd and try it out
[19:59] <compdoc> cool
[19:59] <Steven4242> thank you very much for your help!
[19:59] <jhutchins_wk> Steven4242: kdm is the display/desktop/login manager.  It's what prompts you for username and password when you start up.
[20:00] <jhutchins_wk> Steven4242: It sounds like something got stuck with the GUI.
[20:01] <Steven4242> jhutchins_wk, oh.. well I think I just messed up the whole process of going from 12.04 to 12.10. I shouldn't have restarted my computer although I was just stuck on a dos looking screen with nothing happening and my HDD led on my computer was blinking anymore so I guess something went wrong
[20:01] <riderplus> how can I display desktop icons in Unity?
[20:01] <Steven4242> I have downloaded the 12.10 ISO and will burn it and install it.. I was hoping for some magical terminal command but.. yeah I guess I will just have to reinstall and reconfigure it all again. no biggie though I guess
[20:03] <riderplus> i have checked show desktop icons in dconf
[20:03] <riderplus> why doesn't it work?
[20:05] <Altair> !fr AlanBell
[20:05] <jhutchins_wk> Steven4242: You should be able to do aptitude (or apt-get) -f install and it should pick up wherever it got lost.
[20:06] <jhutchins_wk> riderplus: Maybe you don't have any?
[20:07] <z_Chanshark> can someone help me,  i cant get ndiswrapper to work i keep getting this error when trying to install my wifi drivers FATAL: Module ndiswrapper not found
[20:08] <jhutchins_wk> z_Chanshark: Perhaps you should consider installing ndiswrapper.
[20:09] <invariant> I have unallocated space following an lvm2 partition. How can I resize that lvm2 partition?
[20:09] <z_Chanshark> it is installed
[20:09] <Steven4242> is there a ubuntu iso that burns to a regular cd?
[20:09] <Steven4242> it seems so close to it
[20:10] <z_Chanshark> yes their is
[20:10] <Steven4242> z_Chanshark: where is it located?
[20:10] <kieppie1> is it possible to push my headless/CLI TTY's to all display outputs?
[20:11] <z_Chanshark> Steven4242:  on the website
[20:11] <Steven4242> well I downloaded the iso but its 760~ mb
[20:11] <z_Chanshark> you just download ubuntu.ios and then you burn it to a disk
[20:11] <z_Chanshark> then get a disk that can fit it
[20:12] <Steven4242> I don't have one sadly :( only a 700 mb regular CD
[20:12] <pprtzq> how can i use a newer kernel than the one apt has?
[20:12] <pprtzq> because im on 3.5 and i need 3.7
[20:12] <Steven4242> wait can I just copy the contents of the iso to a usb stick and install it from recovery mode terminal?
[20:12] <Steven4242> is that possible?
[20:12] <pprtzq> i see there are newer kernels available for ubunt: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/
[20:13] <AlanBell> o/ Altair whats up?
[20:13] <sherlockh> installing arch
[20:13] <Wulf> hi
[20:13] <Altair> nothing AlanBell
[20:13] <AlanBell> ok
[20:13] <sherlockh> oops wrong channel
[20:13] <sherlockh> sorry
[20:13] <z_Chanshark> jhutchins_wk:  so yea i have it installed but its still not workin
[20:13] <z_Chanshark> *working
[20:13] <Wulf> How can I change default settings of 12.04 login screen? I want everyone to use the "ubuntu 2d" session
[20:14] <xangua> Wulf clic on the icon next to the username and you can set the default session there
[20:14] <xangua> in the login screen*
[20:15] <Wulf> xangua: and does that apply to every user? Can I remove the setting so the users cannot change it?
[20:15] <eutheria> when installing form the mini.iso it is asking for user details first, it used to be that you configured your partitions first, is it going to let me configure my partitions or blow away everything?
[20:16] <un2him> eutheria, you can always install inside of virtualbox first, to see what happens...i do that all the time
[20:16] <eutheria> un2him, i can't as i have nothing left
[20:16] <eutheria> this machine has almost no disk space
[20:17] <eutheria> the machine i am trying to recover would be my normal place for installing vm's
[20:18] <jhutchins_wk> Steven4242: Download the netinstall image.
[20:18] <WeThePeople> where do the print to file pdfs go to in precise?
[20:18] <Steven4242> jhutchins_wk: thank you!
[20:18] <WeThePeople> in chrome
[20:18] <jhutchins_wk> !ndiswrapper
[20:18] <jhutchins_wk> z_Chanshark: Did you check there?
[20:19] <z_Chanshark> jhutchins_wk:  yes
[20:19] <z_Chanshark> jhutchins_wk:  i have go to the first 49 links about it on google
[20:19] <CoreyBR> is there screensavers in ubuntu?
[20:19] <jhutchins_wk> z_Chanshark: Go through the steps on the ubuntu site again.
[20:20] <z_Chanshark> jhutchins_wk:  the reason it because its a bug #986064
[20:21] <KI4RO> Anyone had success getting a Windows PC to print to an Ubuntu printer?
[20:22] <riderplus> how can i add a desktop shortcut for a disk driver in unity?
[20:22] <riderplus> i mean...there's drag and drop for apps,
[20:22] <riderplus> but how to do it for disk drives?
[20:23] <stueng> ?metro
[20:23] <stueng> er
[20:23] <stueng> lol
[20:23] <orudie> what is the name of the utility that makes all the menues appear at the very top ?
[20:23] <stueng> not metro.. whats the ubuntu desktop thing called? the one everytone hates?
[20:23] <orudie> I want it disabled if its possible
[20:24] <KsM> stueng: unity/gnome3
[20:24] <Willdude123> How can I find the path of OpenJDK?
[20:24] <syrius> which javac ?
[20:24] <sosby> Would anyone know how (or point me in the direction) as to how to set up a bridge to allow a LXC container to send/recieve from/to an outside ip
[20:24] <MonkeyDust> Willdude123  with which
[20:24] <stueng> KsM no.. the thing that makes the "start" type button
[20:24] <Hwkiller> orudie: http://www.webupd8.org/2011/03/disable-appmenu-global-menu-in-ubuntu.html
[20:24] <stueng> looks all pretty
[20:24] <riderplus> does anyone know how to do it?
[20:24] <blami> Willdude123: it will be in /usr/lib/jvm afaik
[20:24] <stueng> ?? unity
[20:25] <stueng> !unity
[20:25] <stueng> !notunity
[20:25] <WHAT_UP> say i have an old version of ubuntu installed on a computer, and i want to just install a new version of ubuntu over it (no need for the current data). is it possible to somehow net install ubuntu without resorting to using a disc?
[20:25] <stueng> WHAT_UP apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade
[20:25] <riderplus> so nobody knows...
[20:25] <riderplus> super
[20:25] <WHAT_UP> stueng: no
[20:25] <pianoman> hi i tried installing ubuntu via disk and when i hit the button to continue to install inside windows 8, it told me to eject the disc and press enter. it then restarted into windows 8 without installing it. what happened?
[20:25] <toordog> is anyone played with FreeIPA ipa-client on ubuntu?
[20:26] <Slart> stueng, WHAT_UP. dist-upgrade won't upgrade the ubuntu version
[20:26] <Cakejoke> does anyone know of anything that could prevent ubuntu from connecting to https sites?
[20:26] <WHAT_UP> Cakejoke: bad root certificate?
[20:26] <Slart> WHAT_UP: how old is the "old version"?
[20:27] <WHAT_UP> Slart: i think it's intrepid?
[20:27] <z_Chanshark> i have ubuntu 3 :D
[20:27] <riderplus> WHAT_UP: do you know?
[20:27] <WHAT_UP> it's the first one which had unity
[20:27] <Willdude123> Installed OpenJDK, don't think it's there.
[20:27] <MonkeyDust> WHAT_UP  type lsb_release -sd
[20:28] <Toph2> Cakejoke,,, i had that once,, it was my router
[20:28] <Slart> WHAT_UP: if you want to do a "regular" upgrade you will have to mess with the repositories since intrepid is past it's end of life.. not sure if there are some clever way of doing a net install using the existing install.. installing from an usb stick isn't an option?
[20:28] <Cakejoke> it doesn't happen on windows or anything else in the network though
[20:28] <WHAT_UP> MonkeyDust: it's natty
[20:28] <Steven4242> jhutchins_wk: awesome that idea worked and I am currently reinstalling. Thank you so much for your help! I really really appreciate it!
[20:28] <Toph2> Cakejoke,,, just certain urls?
[20:29] <Cakejoke> seems to be all https i've tried
[20:29] <eutheria> is there a rescue cd?
[20:29] <eutheria> i am sure there used to be one
[20:29] <Toph2> Cakejoke,,, have you a firewall on the Ubuntu machine?
[20:29] <pianoman> hi i tried installing ubuntu via disk and when i hit the button to continue to install inside windows 8, it told me to eject the disc and press enter. it then restarted into windows 8 without installing it. what happened?
[20:29] <Cakejoke> i didn't install any
[20:30] <Cakejoke> i'm on win atm, gimme a sec to reboot
[20:30] <Toph2> Cakejoke,,, and you can ping your router?
[20:30] <orudie> echo "export UBUNTU_MENUPROXY=0" > /etc/X11/Xsession.d/81ubuntumenuproxy
[20:30] <z_Chanshark> pianoman:  can you explaine the steps you took before you pressed enter
[20:30] <sam555> hello all!
[20:30] <Willdude123> Anyone know how I can find the OpenJDK path?
[20:30] <orudie> this did not disable menues in unity
[20:30] <orudie> any help plz
[20:30] <sam555> i need to replace my interface file because it is not working
[20:31] <sam555> how do I do this without lubuntu booting and crashing when it tries to make it work
[20:31] <daftykins> sam555: network interfaces?
[20:31] <sam555> is there a way to skip the network authentication part so I canget in
[20:31] <sam555> daftykins: yes
[20:31] <Willdude123> Anyone?
[20:31] <pianoman> i installed windows 8. i put the iso for ubuntu onto a disk and rebooted. i selected the drive i wanted and i went into ubuntu setup. i hit install ubuntu, connected to a network, and hit install inside windows 8. and then it gave me that message.
[20:31] <orudie> in Ubuntu 12.04 I want all menues for all applications to appear in the application itself, but not in the unity at the top. Is there a way to fix it ?
[20:31] <Eagleman> Trying to start with a fresh install of postfix, however dkpg  dpkg-reconfigure postfix  wont remove my old config files, any idea what i am doing wrong?
[20:31] <daftykins> sam555: all you really need is "auto lo" then "auto eth0 inet dhcp"
[20:31] <sam555> daftykins: right now I'm using an lubuntu usb live disk to try to remove it, but I don't have access to root on the hdd
[20:32] <sam555> daftykins: but how do I change it before i reboot again
[20:32] <WHAT_UP> why doesn't the minimal install cd just ping canonical's website to find out what the latest version is, rather than being hardcoded to download a certain one?
[20:32] <z_Chanshark> hmmm
[20:32] <daftykins> sam555: er just sudo -s on the liveusb to modify
[20:32] <bfri> i just installed maple 16 but can't find the progam launcher where can i find it?
[20:32] <z_Chanshark> pianoman:  did it like load it
[20:32] <z_Chanshark> like did it take time
[20:32] <sam555> daftykins: kk
[20:33] <pianoman> no it took no time at all. 5 seconds after i hit continue it told me to eject the disk and hit enter. which i did.
[20:33] <z_Chanshark> like did it take less then 5 seconds
[20:34] <WHAT_UP> bfri: does just running maple work in the terminal? if so, try "which maple". otherwise, look for something like .maple in your home directory probably
[20:34] <sam555> daftykins: how do i get to /etc/network from the live disk to the hdd?
[20:34] <Eagleman> Trying to start with a fresh install of postfix, however dkpg  dpkg-reconfigure postfix  wont remove my old config files, any idea what i am doing wrong?
[20:34] <daftykins> sam555: you'll need to mount the partition first. do you know which one will be root? (/) did you manually or auto partition?
[20:34] <orudie> is there a way to make the menu items for apps appear in the app window, but not all the way at the top ?
[20:34] <sam555> daftykins: when I go to media/lubuntu/<numbers for hdd>/ it does not have access to the root drive
[20:34] <Slart> Eagleman: there isn't a switch to restart with clean config files?
[20:35] <bfri> what_up how do i run it from the terminal?
[20:35] <daftykins> sam555: can you pastebin the output of 'sudo fdisk -l' ?
[20:35] <pianoman> z_Chanshark yes pretty much. according to the instructions i should have been able to go through more options
[20:35] <sam555> daftykins: so I need to mount the /root partition specifically? because i can get into my home directory on the hdd
[20:35] <WHAT_UP> bfri: try opening up the terminal and just typing in "maple"
[20:35] <Eagleman> a switch like Slart ?
[20:35] <sam555> daftykins: from the live disk
[20:35] <WHAT_UP> bfri: does it work?
[20:35] <z_Chanshark> pianoman:  few things first check if the disk is installed
[20:35] <bfri> no
[20:35] <z_Chanshark> pianoman:  not installed *scratched
[20:35] <bfri> what_up no
[20:36] <Slart> Eagleman: I don't know.. I'm browsing the man pages at the moment.. didn't really see anything
[20:36] <pianoman> z_Chanshark no its not its a brand new disk
[20:36] <Cakejoke> kay, don't mind me, a reboot did the trick :P
[20:36] <daftykins> sam555: root is just /, /root is the root user's /home equivalent :) just to be confusing :>
[20:36] <bfri> what_up now im not sure if the install worked
[20:36] <WHAT_UP> bfri: okay. then in the terminal, try doing something like "ls -al | grep maple"
[20:36] <Eagleman> i've been there to Slart, i expected the command to reload everything, so i can begin from scratch
[20:36] <WHAT_UP> bfri: does it give any output?
[20:36] <z_Chanshark> pianoman:  second when you burned it to a disk is it a .ios file and did you burn it and not use it like a flash drive
[20:36] <Slart> Eagleman: yes, that's what I would expect as well
[20:37] <GabMus_> hello
[20:37] <Slart> Eagleman: have you read this? http://askubuntu.com/questions/66533/how-can-i-restore-configuration-files
[20:37] <GabMus_> I have a problem with gnome shell, could someone here help me?
[20:37] <bfri> what_up i just pasted ur command and got nothing
[20:38] <WHAT_UP> bfri: hmm. then either maple did not install or was installed to a different directory
[20:38] <humberos>  NickServ identify dora05
[20:38] <bfri> what_up ok ill try to install again
[20:38] <pianoman> z_Chanshark no i read on the ubuntu support site that burning it as an iso was incorrect.
[20:38] <z_Chanshark> I have a problem with wifi can someone help me i cant get it to work because i need to use a ndiswrapper and there is the bug (#986064) is there a way around it
[20:39] <z_Chanshark> pianoman:  you don't use it like a flashdrive
[20:39] <z_Chanshark> i burned it and it worked
[20:39] <pianoman> what did you do after you burned it?
[20:40] <z_Chanshark> ploped it in my diskdrive and restarted
[20:40] <pianoman> did you have to select a drive?
[20:40] <z_Chanshark> pianoman: i partishened a  space for it (15 tb)
[20:41] <z_Chanshark> wait pianoman  are you trying to duel boo
[20:41] <daftykins> pianoman: is your BIOS boot order correct?
[20:41] <z_Chanshark> *boot
[20:41] <pianoman> yes i'm trying to dual boot. and daftykins i'm not sure how to check that.
[20:41] <z_Chanshark> partision your hhd
[20:41] <daftykins> pianoman: is it a laptop/desktop ?
[20:41] <Eagleman> Slart i guess that worked :)
[20:41] <pianoman> laptop
[20:41] <z_Chanshark> give it like 10 gb
[20:42] <pianoman> partition the c drive?
[20:42] <z_Chanshark> yea
[20:42] <z_Chanshark> im quad-booting :D
[20:42] <daftykins> pianoman: most manufacturers, you hit F2 or delete whilst the brand logo / POST screen shows, then you look for boot options. sometimes there's a key like F8 or F10 to give you a boot device list instead of entering BIOS first
[20:42] <Slart> Eagleman: great =)
[20:43] <daftykins> pianoman: is Windows or whatever your other OS is, already present? if so, is it already installed to the full size of the drive, or have you installed it to a small partition?
[20:43] <z_Chanshark> its f11 for boot menu
[20:43] <pianoman> ok. i've got a huge c drive so that wouldn't be a problem. daftykins yeah i can get into there. once i'm there what do i do? and its present, and no its not to the full size. there is no other partition.
[20:44] <z_Chanshark> pianoman:  how much space do you have fre
[20:44] <pianoman> and i hit f12 for mine. but yeah.
[20:44] <pianoman> like 400 gb
[20:44] <Eagleman> ANy good guides around for setting up an internet mail system with relay_agent ?
[20:44] <daftykins> pianoman: F12 give you a boot menu? with CD/DVD on the list?
[20:44] <pianoman> daftykins yes
[20:44] <sam555> daftykins: got it working!
[20:44] <orudie> hi. I just installed putty in ubuntu 12.04 . How can I start multiple putty sessions ?
[20:44] <daftykins> sam555: cool :)
[20:44] <orudie> similar to how it is in windows
[20:45] <daftykins> orudie: why would you use putty in Linux when SSH functionality is native and can be used from any terminal?
[20:45] <orudie> in putty application, I noticed that I can't right click - duplicate session
[20:45] <z_Chanshark> I have a problem with wifi can someone help me i cant get it to work because i need to use a ndiswrapper and there is the bug (#986064) is there a way around it
[20:45] <orudie> daftykins: I am new to ubuntu desktop. I need to be able to save sessions
[20:46] <MadN3ss> lol
[20:46] <limpc> hi I'm having trouble with ubuntu 12.10 - I upgraded my motherboard, and i see an error during boot up but can't catch what it is with - however, my usb keyboard/mouse die during ubuntu boot up.  (works in bios, but numlock light goes out as soon as ubuntu initializes)
[20:46] <daftykins> orudie: for what purpose?
[20:46] <daftykins> limpc: does a liveCD work?
[20:46] <z_Chanshark> limpc:  are they wireless
[20:46] <orudie> daftykins: need to be able to save SSH sesssions. We have many servers here
[20:46] <limpc> daftykins, it would probably work but I don't have a livecd
[20:46] <pianoman> daftykins whenever i get to the boot menu i can get ubuntu to get started but it doesn't finish correctly. is that partition needed for it to install correctly?
[20:47] <z_Chanshark> limpc:  is your mouse and keyboard wireless
[20:47] <limpc> z_Chanshark, no
[20:47] <limpc> they're usb as i said
[20:47] <z_Chanshark> i have a wireless usb mouse and keyboard
[20:47] <z_Chanshark> just saying
[20:47] <MadN3ss> is anyone else INLOVE with the new one direction CD?
[20:47] <daftykins> limpc: is it beyond the realms of possibility to make one, to help diagnose your problem?
[20:47] <MadN3ss> The boys are all grown up, and ohso sexy
[20:47] <limpc> I'm not using a dongle, its just direct usb.
[20:48] <daftykins> !offtopic | MadN3ss
[20:48] <DJones> MadN3ss: Wrong channel for that
[20:48] <limpc> daftykins, no, i can make one, just wondering if theres a way to fix it without?
[20:48] <limpc> does ubuntu not detect new mb chipsets?
[20:48] <daftykins> limpc: well my first idea was to read logs from the boot process from a live system, sooo
[20:48] <MadN3ss> One directions supports Ubuntu. I'm not offtopic at all
[20:48] <MadN3ss> one direction and ubuntu go hand in hand
[20:48] <MadN3ss> read a book
[20:48] <daftykins> troll.
[20:49] <z_Chanshark> MadN3ss:  what do you mean?
[20:49] <MonkeyDust> MadN3ss  not here, please
[20:49] <pianoman> daftykins whenever i get to the boot menu i can get ubuntu to get started but it doesn't finish correctly. is that partition needed for it to install correctly?
[20:49] <z_Chanshark> im confused what just happened
[20:49] <MadN3ss> You guys are so hell bent over this being strictly ubuntu
[20:49] <daftykins> pianoman: is the screen blanking and failing to let you get to the ubuntu desktop?
[20:50] <MadN3ss> but even if it's related it not allowed?
[20:50] <z_Chanshark> pianoman:  yes if you want to duel boot
[20:50] <MadN3ss> your topics are so misleading
[20:50] <MadN3ss> get over you and your geeky computer shit
[20:50] <WHAT_UP> i'm trying to netinstall using a dvd, but it's been stuck on "Retrieving block-modules-3.2.0-23-generic-pae-di" for a few minutes. I see online that this is a ~300k package, whereas my download speed is generally around 10 MB/s. What gives?
[20:50] <MonkeyDust> MadN3ss  type /join #ubuntu-offtopic
[20:50] <daftykins> MadN3ss: there's an offtopic channel. get over it and go away.
[20:50] <limpc> daftykins, like to determine what the problem is caused by? I'm 90% sure it's due to a different usb chipset.  but seeing as I can't even get to a command prompt I'm guessing I have to have a livecd anyway :/
[20:50] <DJones> MadN3ss: If you've got an Ubuntu support question, please ask it, general chat is in #ubuntu-offtopic
[20:50]  * MadN3ss hands daftykins a bridge
[20:50] <z_Chanshark> MadN3ss:  last time i checked your comment was not a question :D
[20:51] <MadN3ss> YOU GET OVER IT
[20:51] <MadN3ss> DO IT
[20:51] <Miebster> How can I mount a CIFS windows share without typing in a plaintext password into something?
[20:51] <pianoman> will it automatically detect it? and is 10 gb the most i'll need? or more?
[20:52] <daftykins> limpc: USB is a standard. the Linux kernel isn't gonna trip up over a motherboard swap unless there's a bug. if the install isn't fully up to date and there's a bug that's fixed, you could then update in a chroot from a liveCD / liveUSB flash drive
[20:52] <z_Chanshark> when first setting mine up i did 10 gb
[20:52] <limpc> daftykins, ah. yea thats what i was trying to get to a command line to do.  thanks, ill make a livecd
[20:52] <daftykins> Miebster: the general approach is to put that plaintext password into /root/.smbpass and chmod it so another user couldn't read it anyway. no alternative unless you make the share guest readable
[20:52] <z_Chanshark> when i installed it i did other install and did it manually
[20:53] <Steven4242> so I have linux installed.. but no ubuntu it is just terminal :/
[20:53] <daftykins> limpc: np!
[20:53] <pianoman> and this is all on windows 8 right/
[20:53] <pianoman> ?
[20:53] <Steven4242> well I have ubuntu but yeah
[20:53] <Steven4242> no desktop
[20:53] <jgodbout> How can I disable resume/hibernate on GRUB?
[20:53] <z_Chanshark> yes but you have to make sure you choose free space other wise you will delete windows 8
[20:53] <jgodbout> Is there a command like noresume for GRUB2?
[20:53] <z_Chanshark> pianoman:  i suggest watch a tutorial on youtube if its your first time duel booting
[20:53] <limpc> Steven4242, did you install the server version of ubuntu?
[20:54] <daftykins> pianoman: ah if your windows 8 install is an EFI one, you may run into addition difficulty. you can check this if you boot into windows and run diskmgmt.msc
[20:54] <Miebster> daftykins: still insecure though right? anyone with access to the drive could get my password? or any admin on the machine?
[20:54] <Steven4242> limpc: well I selected Ubuntu Desktop in the installation screen
[20:54] <pianoman> can you direct me to an effecient video z_Chanshark?
[20:54] <daftykins> Miebster: they'd have to have root/sudo access
[20:54] <z_Chanshark> yea sure pianoman
[20:54] <pianoman> daftykins is that through command prompt?
[20:55] <usbu> can any one tell me how to change the read only permission of flash drives ?
[20:55] <pianoman> i'm kind of new to all this
[20:55] <daftykins> pianoman: nah it's a GUI app, diskmgmt.msc is the shortcut to type into the 'run' dialogue box
[20:55] <Steven4242> limpc: I did install using the minimal iso thingy so I could burn it to a CD though
[20:55] <pianoman> gotcha. i'll try it
[20:55] <z_Chanshark> pianoman:  what version of ubuntu are you using?
[20:55] <pianoman> 12.10
[20:55] <ubuntu-tester> usbu: was it mounted read-only?
[20:55] <Miebster> daftykins: a live cd can read all of the files on the hard drive though?
[20:55] <z_Chanshark> 12.04 precise pangolin?
[20:55] <z_Chanshark> oh
[20:55] <Steven4242> when I press CTRL ALT F7 it shows just a yellow underscore that flashes
[20:56] <pianoman> will that make a big difference?
[20:56] <usbu> ubuntu-tester : I am using 12.04, it is not mounted
[20:56] <z_Chanshark> not really
[20:56] <pianoman> daftykins ok i ran it. what am i looking for?
[20:57] <ubuntu-tester> usbu: I mean flash drive
[20:57] <z_Chanshark> pianoman:  just youtube and it look though the comments to see if its alot of good reviews
[20:57] <daftykins> pianoman: can you screenshot it and upload to an image hosting site like imgur.com ?
[20:57] <jgodbout> Is there a way to disable resume from hibernation from GRUB or otherwise?  :) BIOS' should be password protected to stop users from being users.
[21:01] <orudie> how can I save ssh sessions in ubuntu 12.04 ? The terminal doesn't seem to have this ability
[21:02] <ubuntu-tester> usbu: yes
[21:02] <orudie> or should I install a different client ?
[21:02] <Miebster> daftykins: I think your company and my company are very different, the users have all the power here
[21:02] <daftykins> Miebster: so they all roll around booting alternative distributions to read each other's passwords?

[21:02] <z_Chanshark> can someone direct me how to get around bug #986064 "Module ndiswrapper not found" (and yes i have it installed)
[21:03] <Steven4242> oh and btw the answer to my question of booting into the black terminal screen is "sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop"
[21:03] <Miebster> daftykins: No, but you are trying to argue that its okay to store passwords in plaintext files
[21:03] <ubuntu-tester> usbu: sorry i forgot sudo
[21:03] <daftykins> Miebster: no, i'm providing you with courses of action that make it at least feasible. i don't like it anymore than you do. :) if you'd like for me to stop replying i can do that too?
[21:04] <Miebster> daftykins: if we dont like it, lets find a better way then

[21:05] <orudie> how can I save ssh sessions in ubuntu 12.04 ? The terminal doesn't seem to have this ability
[21:05] <pianoman> daftykins what kind of partition does it need to be.
[21:05] <daftykins> pianoman: what options come up if you right click on the part where it says 'Disk 0' ?
[21:05] <usbu> ubuntu-tester  :  and you might try running e2fsck with an alternate superblock:     e2fsck -b 8193 <device>
[21:05] <daftykins> Miebster: i know of none that include authentication
[21:05] <ubuntu-tester> usbu: do you know filesystem on usb drive?
[21:06] <pianoman> .the only available options it gives me is convert to dynamic disc, properties, or help
[21:06] <daftykins> Miebster: actually, the old 'connect to server' style would store passwords in the keyring i believe. you don't get filesystem level access to those types of shares though =/
[21:06] <Snicers-Work> Ok, I have an issue, I am trying to apt-get update ubuntu 10.10 but it is at EOL and I get 404 not found errors.
[21:06] <daftykins> pianoman: can you check properties? i'm curious to find references to either 'MBR' or 'GPT'
[21:07] <daftykins> pianoman: ah, right click -> properties, 'volumes' tab, 'Partition tyle'
[21:07] <daftykins> *style
[21:07] <pianoman> daftykins it says the partition style is mbr
[21:07] <daftykins> excellent
[21:07] <usbu> ubuntu-tester  : earlier it was FAT. but i tried to format it using different filesystems ext4,ext2 and fat32, none of them worked. At present I don't know in format the usb is.. :)
[21:08] <pianoman> what should i do now
[21:08] <ubuntu-tester> usbu: do you care about the remaining data on it?
[21:08] <daftykins> pianoman: you've not got any space for an Ubuntu install right now though. you'd need to maybe delete that 19.53GB 'OEM' partition - if you don't mind losing the laptop's restore functionality
[21:09] <orudie> how can I save ssh sessions in ubuntu 12.04 ? The terminal doesn't seem to have this ability
[21:09] <Rikstation> Can anyone reccomend a channel for an android-ubuntu related discussion, cant search
[21:09] <usbu> ubuntu-tester : nope. I already have a backup. I just want to make it working :)
[21:09] <C-T-N> i will get a ssd soon, i noticed that i must set up ubuntu for it. is it difficult?
[21:09] <OerHeks> Snicers-Work, time to upgrade that 2,5 year old version, or you can use old-versions update, but that is unsafe, you won't get the latest security updates
[21:09] <ubuntu-tester> usbu: if not, i suggest you reformat it with your camera
[21:09] <OerHeks> Snicers-Work, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades
[21:09] <daftykins> C-T-N: enabling TRIM should be pretty simple
[21:10] <C-T-N> it is just TRIM or does I need to set up something else?
[21:10] <C-T-N> *is it
[21:10] <daftykins> C-T-N: nothing i know of off hand
[21:10] <usbu> ubuntu-tester : You mean from the device ? It was in my android phone. Now it say no sd card detected :(
[21:10] <pianoman> what does that oem partition do? and i tried to make one and the program said that i needed to change one partition from logical to something else
[21:11] <C-T-N> ok
[21:11] <daftykins> pianoman: likely it lets you hit another function key on boot to restore the preinstalled Windows drive to factory fresh if something breaks
[21:12] <ubuntu-tester> usbu: so you tried to format it to FAT and it didn't work?
[21:12] <pianoman> ok. so what does the other partition for ubuntu need to be?
[21:12] <usbu> ubuntu-tester : Yeah. From both windows and Ubuntu.
[21:12] <C-T-N> can someone tell me a great iso burner on ubuntu? I don't need much settings..only burn :P
[21:12] <daftykins> pianoman: you just need to make space on the drive to install it, once you boot the CD/DVD
[21:13] <ubuntu-tester> usbu: maybe it is damaged
[21:13] <ubuntu-tester> C-T-N: brasero will do
[21:13] <culpn8r> im having issues with my fans running hot on my dell laptop with an ATI card -- any advice or fix?
[21:13] <usbu> ubuntu-tester : Is there any other way to fix it ?
[21:14] <Snicers-Work> Can ubuntu 10.10 no longer update using apt-get?
[21:14] <daftykins> Snicers-Work: no reason it shouldn't
[21:14] <daftykins> culpn8r: do you mean the fans are running permanently loud?
[21:14] <culpn8r> datykins: yes -- even when no programs are running
[21:14] <Ziber> Where can I find a good vncviewer client. The only way I can run it right now is from terminal...
[21:14] <Snicers-Work> daftykins I am getting Err http://security.ubuntu.com maverick-security/main Sources   404  Not Found [IP: <IP_ADDRESS> 80]
[21:14] <Rikstation> Anyone know if you can access sd card from partiton image on an android debice
[21:15] <ubuntu-tester> usbu: perhaps, partially, if you have a lot of time and will
[21:15] <daftykins> culpn8r: are you using the proprietary driver?
[21:15] <pianoman> i never have an option to do that
[21:15] <C-T-N> ubuntu-tester,  ok
[21:15] <culpn8r> daftykins: the proprietary driver crashed unity and would not load so im using the open-source one
[21:15] <daftykins> pianoman: do you not get as far as the Ubuntu installer?
[21:15] <jgodbout> My laptop is failing to boot after trying to hibernate, with the error ¨resume: could not stat resume device file /dev/dm-0¨  (12.04).
[21:15] <z_Chanshark> can someone direct me how to get around bug #986064 "Module ndiswrapper not found" (and yes i have it installed)(i have been trying for 3 days now to get this to wook)
[21:15] <z_Chanshark> *work
[21:15] <jgodbout> Is it possible to force it to not try to resume?
[21:16] <OerHeks> Snicers-Work, read back please, i gave you a solution
[21:16] <usbu> ubuntu-tester :can you suggest me any websites or links that I can follow to do that ? :)
[21:16] <daftykins> jgodbout: you just need to delete the file afaik. tried googling 'delete resume file' ?
[21:16] <jgodbout> daftykins: thanks, ill try that
[21:16] <pianoman> no once i hit an option to install alongside windows 8 it goes to a eject disk and hit enter screen
[21:17] <ubuntu-tester> usbu: you can determine damaged area somehow, and partition the card so filesystem won't intersect with that area
[21:17] <daftykins> pianoman: when you first boot from the CD/DVD, do you get a menu? try choosing the 'check disc for defects' option if so
[21:17] <pianoman> i don't get any of that stuff
[21:18] <daftykins> pianoman: usually it's hidden behind a logo that you have to press a key at for it to show you this menu
[21:18] <ubuntu-tester> usbu: pm if you want
[21:18] <pianoman> alright i'll try that
[21:18] <usbu> ubuntu-tester : Yeah , whean I ran fsck it gave an error message : e2fsck 1.42 (29-Nov-2011) e2fsck: Bad magic number in super-block while trying to open /dev/sdb1  The superblock could not be read or does not describe a correct ext2 filesystem.

[21:24] <HackinBlack> Ok
[21:24] <HackinBlack> Thanks
[21:26] <HackinBlack> Ubuntu phones channel is deaf
[21:27] <z_Chanshark> daftykins:  i have and it did not work
[21:28] <daftykins> z_Chanshark: what stage is it failing at?
[21:28] <daftykins> HackinBlack: i read somewhere 2014 maybe
[21:29] <z_Chanshark> well im trying to do this on linux mint but the package manager i installed and and it did not work
[21:29] <daftykins> z_Chanshark: is it a mint based on 12.04 then?
[21:29] <z_Chanshark> yea
[21:30] <culpn8r> daftykins: should i be using the proprietary driver?
[21:30] <z_Chanshark> also my wireless adapter is different this the guides
[21:30] <daftykins> culpn8r: yeah, for proper functionality. though it could break stuff... is it a quite new model card or ancient?
[21:30] <culpn8r> ancient
[21:30] <culpn8r> like 4 years old
[21:31] <daftykins> z_Chanshark: lol bit too many variables to really say it applies then. especially as you're after mint support in an ubuntu chan. what did the mint channel say?
[21:31] <z_Chanshark> well i joined about 10 hours ago and they have yet to say a thing
[21:31] <unreal82> Anyone know about rooting the zte x500?
[21:31] <Marlinc> Is is in anyway possible to get the webapp integration in the 'normal' Google Chrome provided by Google itself
[21:31] <Dmole> looking for a cli irc client that has a download manger  (like irssi+fleech but working)... anyone?
[21:31] <daftykins> unreal82: that's totally not ubuntu support.
[21:32] <unreal82> I know, but it's a linux os base.
[21:32] <daftykins> unreal82: sorry. not gonna happen.
[21:32] <unreal82> Okay
[21:32] <usr13> daftykins: Try ##linux
[21:32] <daftykins> usr13: tab complete fail.

[21:33] <z_Chanshark> i have had it for about a year now
[21:34] <Miebster> When I run this command how is the password stored "mount -t smbfs -o username=<username>,password=<password> //<win-box>/<share> /mnt/<name-of-mountpoint>"
[21:34] <daftykins> z_Chanshark: gutted. i guess update to a 12.10 base mint, trying a livecd to see if anythings different, or having another stab at it from scratch.
[21:35] <z_Chanshark> daftykins:  i have been trying for 3 days i have tried this guide like 7 time slol
[21:35] <daftykins> z_Chanshark: welcome to Linux.
[21:35] <unreal82> That can wait, I was more concerned with the learning aspect. It seems to be legal now, so I thought it'd be interesting to do. Thanks all.
[21:36] <daftykins> z_Chanshark: however my upgrade-your-distro (and thus Linux kernel) suggestion still stands
[21:36] <usr13> z_Chanshark: Linux users are careful to buy devices that are Linux Friendly.
[21:36] <z_Chanshark> i got the adapter a year ago
[21:36] <z_Chanshark> i was using it on win 7
[21:36] <daftykins> usr13: that's why this support channel is totally quiet... oh wait. ;)
[21:38] <adarc> why dont you guys dont use just mac or win to avoid all the nerdy Problems....
[21:38] <daftykins> z_Chanshark: did your guide involve compiling ndiswrapper from source?
[21:38] <chamunks> the ubuntu release of mysql whats the config file that handles access restrictions like I want to only allow localhost and another lan ip to access the mysql server
[21:38] <z_Chanshark> yes
[21:38] <usr13> z_Chanshark: I'm sorry, I shouldn't even be in this conversation.  I don't know what device you are talking about,  I just assume it is not Linux compatable.  Am I correct?
[21:38] <daftykins> adarc: you never learn by giving up at the slightest problem.
[21:39] <Marlinc> Is it in anyway possible to get the webapp integration in the 'normal' Google Chrome provided by Google itself
[21:39] <z_Chanshark> its a N600 Wireless Dual Band USB Adapter WNDA3100v2
[21:39] <usr13> z_Chanshark: As I scroll up, I see that you are using Linux Mint...?
[21:39] <z_Chanshark> yes but most ubuntu things work with mint
[21:39] <TheLordOfTime> z_Chanshark, Mint's not a supported deroivative in this channel
[21:39] <TheLordOfTime> !mint | z_Chanshark
[21:40] <daftykins> TheLordOfTime: yes the excellent assistance of 'go away' has already been provided.

[21:40] <chris___> Is there a way to enable the ability to scroll up and down using on my laptop's touch pad?  Currently it's not possible.

[21:49] <TheLordOfTime> orudie, you can install putty on your linux and use that if you want
